[HTC Titan] dape16:
Yeah, I blame HTC for the hardware faults. It is a shame because the HTC Titan feels like a real quality phone, with its one piece design and metal shell.

But the change from Android to WP7.5 wasnt so smooth as I thought it should be. Once you have been spoiled with the endless customization possibilites and advanced options in Android it is difficult to switch to something so restricted as WP7.5.

In WP7.5 you can not even sync your tasks from your Live account calendar. Many new Android phones autosync both your Live account calendar and task lists, from stock!

In WP7.5 the calendar is so limited its embarrassing. You can not set how many meetings it will show in the tile or how long before they will show up, etc.

When I find something in Android that doesnt work as I want it to work or I want to change how things look, in 99 of 100 cases I can customize it my one way, in the system or with apps. It feels great to be able to make my phone work my way and make it really personal.

In WP7.5 when I find something that doesnt work the way I would like it to, I cant change it. Even the background colors is very limited. I cant make my camera flash act like a flash light. I cant even have my led show me that I have missed calls or new messages. I cant change how message notification works, even if the phone is locked anyone can see my new sms showing up. I cant have a private inbox so I can use the phone at the office and at my home.

I can not download apps and games bigger then 20 MB on my unlimited data plan? I have to find a WiFi AP to do that. Why cant I have the choice?

I dont have back and forward buttons in Internet Explorer? WTH? And I cant install other browsers either.

And of course the lack of apps, at least in my country, I have the biggest carrier but none of their apps has been released to WP. And official apps and bank apps is also missing.

And the screen resolution is, to be honest, outdated. It works in a low end device or a device with small screen, but HTC Titans bigger screen is so unsharp. iPhone has its retina display and Android phones have had 720p-displays for a while now.

But this is just IMHO, and if WP 8 is something completely new I am sure I will try it.

I understand that people that just want a good looking phone with a fast and beautiful UI is satisfied with WP7.5 and I am glad for you.

Unfortunatly it wasnt my melody.
[HTC Titan] Erik Latranyi:
I had the sound troubles with my Titan. I cracked the screen, tried to replace it myself only to mangle the phone. I just do not have patience for fine work like that.

So, I purchased a Titan II.

Sound quality is great and I do not think anyone else has the issues found on the Titan.

So, for those who wish to stay with WP7.5, but have troubles with the Titan, go for a Titan II.
[HTC Titan] dape16:
Yes, I think HTC was aware with the Titans different problems, and thats why they created the Titan II so soon after the Titan I.

The only problem is that the Titan II isnt available outside the US.
[HTC Titan] tlerner:
Its not being available outside of USA is not the biggest problem. What about us who purchased Titan (not a cheap phone) who would now need to lash out a few more bucks for the Titan II just because HTC did not get it right the first time?

Not fair to say the least.

I am also having a score of problems with this phone: poor call quality, horrendous WiFi issues, as well as the issues with the Marketplace. I can only access it via WiFi, it does not want to connect via data. I also think that the screen resolution is outdated but can live with that. I've had HD2 with ripped WP7 (been loyal to this OS since January 2011!) and the Marketplace always worked regardless of which connection I was using. Called my provider, called MS, and no help. (Loved HD2!!!!)

I am basically using this phone to make calls, read and write emails, occasionally take a photo and post on FB, but not much more than that. Oh yes, I am also using WhatsApp and Viber, both apps are spotty in performance. I used to be so attached to my phones, loved to play with them. But this one just did not 'sit well' with me.

I love WP, still think it is the best OS out there - but am totally tired of HTC. There is a good reason why the company is reporting lower earnings in the past 3 consecutive quarters.

I just want a phone which works for the basic things which is intended for. I do not wish to buy an iPhone (even though I have MBP and a new iPad - actually moved completely from a Windows PC to Mac) cause I love this OS on a phone.

I guess I am going back to Nokia with WP8 as soon as it comes out. HTC is just not as good and innovative as they used to be.

ive been fine with andromadus beta 2, but should i update to beta3? or wait for till the beta's are over? i dont want to lose the best android 4.0 ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johrie:
Just update you won't lose anything, you will gain better performance :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdarati2:
without full wipe?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johrie:
Wipe cache and dalvik cache and you should be good to go. Make a titanium backup first of your apps and a nandroid. So if you encounter any problems you can either revert back to beta 2 or do a clean flash.

[Blade General] agh55:
Purchased an Orange Sanfrancisco 11 and I cant download the phone directory to my Volkswagan Passat car kit ( RNS 315). The onboard unit recognises the phone and pairs immediately. Other mobiles I have immediately download the directory once the device is paired.

Is there anything in the phone which needs activated or modified
[Blade General] iansen94:
Actually i tried to access the sd-card files with my pc via bluetooth and didn't work at first. You should look for a list of compatible devices and see if there's any problem with yours.
[Blade General] agh55:
thanks for the reply, can you advise how i would go about checking compatability. I checked with Volkswagen and they weren't able to give me a definitive answer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tutsumi:
I've been battling with this problem on and off for the past month or so, of which it started happening out of the blue.

I used to use two Gmail accounts and had both sync the information, with exception to one's contact list since it was empty. However, I've noticed that my contacts, after awhile, disappear from my phone.

At first, they had disappeared from my Google Contacts as well, but a simple restore fixed that and now they are still there (this was around the time Google started to move info to Google+). Now, the contacts disappear from my phone, leaving me with it saying "No contacts", until I reboot my phone again (where it all loads back in again).

I use WhatsApp, ChatOn, Skype, Google+, and Facebook apps.

Any idea?

Hello to all

I am a noob but I do not ask for mercy since I have looked at and appreciated the Noob Video ;).

I have thouroughly searched the wiki and the forum but I did not find the answer.

I have looked at the topic before posting.

Is there a way to root a Samsung GT-S5830 on Ubuntu ? or on Linux anyway ? This is the only OS I have on my desktop and I do not have a Windows copy.

Thanks and regards

Ace stock froyo can be rooted via superoneclick, thus needs windows, mandatory. But if u already on gingerbread u can just flash a zip file via stock recovery to root it, no need pc/windows whatsoever. Look in ace's dedicated forum

Yes I am sorry, the answer was here and I read to quicky, I apologize. I will try it.

So it is done, I have theorically rooted my phone but I am not sure it worked. I still cannot uninstall stock application I do not want, I am only allowed to uninstall updates but not the apps. How Can i Check I have really rooted it ?

Check if theres superuser app in app drawer. And install root checker from market to see if can request root call to su binary correctly.

In the future, if you have to flash your phone via Odin (for example) I suggest the use of a Virtual Machine like VMware or VirtualBox. In my case, i'm running MacOSX and I flashed my phone using Parallels, and it works great. :o
[HTC Amaze 4G] Thaxtonator:
Hey guys I am S-On and I thought all I would have to do is relock bootloader and flash a RUU from Gingerbread TMO-US but it gave me an error saying HBOOT is too new, so I have no clue where to go from here, I've tried everything. Any ideas?
[HTC Amaze 4G] elwaxman:
You can't go back to gingerbread unless you have s-off,because the ics ruu updates hboot/bootloader on install, I read that you can't even get s-off on the new ics ruu leak so I think your stuck with this untill someone comes out with a method for s-off on ics...

That's the risk you took when you updated. I had s-on aswell when the leak came out but I S-OFFed just to be safe, did not want to be stuck if I wanted to go back..

Sorry bud...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Thaxtonator:
It's cool at least you let me know. Thanks man
[HTC Amaze 4G] ringochan:
I may be wrong, but I read somewhere that you still can get an s-off after upgrading your device to ICS. I just went to the JuopunutBear Public Beta page and saw that they have ICS version, too.

[HTC One X] Chileno4Live:
That's one hell of a story xD. Good to hear it all turned out well even though you had to go through all that ****. I want to root my phone but because of these stories I don't want to unlock the bootloader...

I have a small yellow dot on the left side of the screen. It's almost not visible only if you look closely on a white background. It doesn't bother me and I could've gotten worse problems so yeah I decided to be happy with this model.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
The first post in this thread started on May 2 warned everyone that HTC's no longer providing warranty repairs if they detect a device has had third party s/w loaded on to it. You can unlock the bootloader and still get work done under warranty but you can't load non-official ROMs. There are at least three different threads discussing this and one provides a link to spam HTC's blog in the UK voicing disapproval of the new policy.

Lol @ you yelling at them

And then taking the manager into a level and kicking the staff out to YELL at the manager aswel lol nice problem solving

They were a crap service and didn't help you much but after you kicking staff out of a level to yell at the manager

Don't expect the manager to help you out much even if you are "VIP" and you go off at the manager hes going to think your an arse and just find the fastest way to get rid of you

I used to work for a service provider in back end and the staff from front desk would always come out to the back and the first thing they'd say is "some prick just went off at me" and if its something that particular staff member didn't do and it was another staff members fault your name and "your a prick gets passed" around the office and nobody will want to help

The best way, is just let whoever your speaking to, know that youre not happy with the service your getting and that you're not actually angry at THAT person your speaking to
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Sounds like the device was fixed under warranty. His complaints are that he had to travel 30 minutes and ask more than once for repair.

He wanted a replacement device after voiding the warranty, but didn't want to pay for it, so they replaced the screen under warranty (twice?). And then the casing.

You can't please everybody.
[HTC One X] 08123369698:
I had a screen problem too but not a yellow spot. If i change the brightness to full and use a black wallpaper you can see a blue spot in the middle of the screen. This is my second HOX after i returned the first one through my carrier in australia because of screen flex and cracking and it took 2 weeks:mad:.
[HTC One X] etismyname:
how typical hk person OP is. (I am from HK as well, we are also known as the complain society)

voiding the warranty with htcdev before getting a replacement phone.

doesn't want to pay for repair even though the warranty is voided.

screaming and yelling...

A VIP expecting best services because his is an expensive phone (they use the more experienced to fix more complicated issues, not based on the phone price)

and then break yet another phone lol

Can't say I feel sorry about what happened to you :S
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Well, I have to agree that the repairwork sounds shoddy. When they fixed my DesireHD, they did great job in Yau Ma Tei.

And yes, service can be bad here.
[HTC One X] andreasy:
Can I ask somethin about that famous yellow screen defect and flex issue?

Is it something that the phone comes with from the first day or is it developed gradually?

I mean, if we know that those are the 2 well-known issues, when we buy our phone we can check it for a couple of days and then root. Now, if the problem will develop later, we are in trouble. I'm waiting mine in a few weeks and that's why I ask.
[HTC One X] etismyname:
Actually I am from hk lol

We are one hell of an abusive customer is king society.

I worked in service sector for half and it is insanely difficult to please any customers.

People asking for special favors or deals because they are buying expensive items.

I know that sometimes it feels like you have to get the situation serious for them to do anything. But most often when you have to go that far, you are disturbing other customer's who are being serviced.

The manager resolved to those solutions (such as giving a replacement phone when warrenty is void) is actually to shut you up asap. You aren't meant to get repair or replacement once warrenty is void (or so I think it is anyway).

Now that you or your fd has got it, you would feel it is their fault at the start for not just giving you one.

But you ain't supposed to have one.

So don't call them ridiculous, or need to yell to get them do something.

Generally these cases are out of standard routine and not fair for other customers
[HTC One X] nicholaschum:
As stated, I did all this at night, in a special room. No other customers were there, it was dead quiet.

The point isn't that I voided my warranty. It is half of what I'm saying. We were upset of the job HTC did to repair my phone. And obviously its not like they didn't take my phone because of the warranty void, it was that we wanted to exchange a defective phone 12 days after purchase, 5 days beyond in-store exchange. Even 3 has a 14 day in-store replacement service, why does 1O1O only have 7? That's what I'm saying. Hong Kong carriers don't really give a damn if you unlocked your bootloaders, they don't know how to even check, its only the HTC service center that does this.

The point is, I am supposed to be issued a replacement if the phone THEY supplied had a defect and I had to go exchange it three times. They didn't care for bootloader unlocks, they just cared for their stupid 7 day in-store warranty and their lack of support after that.

SGS2 LTE rooted or not?

Dear Nicholas,

I have been doing exhilarating research about rooting these days because the information available for my phone is a little confusing, really. So I'm quite anxious about making mistakes and all, you know ;-) and getting into trouble like yours.

Now you have just briefly mentioned here that:

I just got a new GT-I9210 LTE and the rooting information is very confusing everywhere, people using Skyrocket ROMs and such claiming they're the same, but many saying the soft keys broke. Apparently this particular model doesn't have a solid community of users like Nexus or others. So I'm quite anxious about making mistakes and all, you know ;-)

And I happened to come across your post in another thread titled "[Q] Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Root [SOLVED]" from May 9, where you said that you successfully rooted SGS2 LTE (your mentioned specs exactly match mine) and your soft keys and everything works perfectly.

Now, I'm not trying to catch you out or anything, I was very excited when I found your instructions there first but I am just wondering, is this the same phone you are talking about here and there?

I would like to follow your method if it really worked.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertandrews:
Once again, my phone entered Safe Mode without me asking. Upon reboot, many home screen widgets and icons ar lost. All of my icons in the app drawer, which I spent so much time filing neatly, are now all in one big alphabetical pile.

It's not just one app, any third party app, whether it be a game letting me know it's my turn, or facebook it doesn't let me know when I have notifications until I go into the app.

But thanks, I'll mess with the settings
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HydroSkillet:
I don't have those issues.

The Facebook think I believe is by design. I only get notified if I'm tagged in a photo or something. I don't get pop ups every time someone "likes" my status, which I think is for the better. This is the same way on my Desire as well.
[General Questions and Answers] thorlin:
I've been on Android now ever since I left my iPhone 3gs. I've spent a lot of time taking advantage of the ROMs and rooting functions. I've been thoroughly impressed with this community. I'm now looking into how I can build a more parental control savvy ROM for my 11 and 12 year old. It may seem un-american, but I would like to be able to keep tabs on my sons and their use of their phones. I'm getting ready to upgrade and would hand down a Droid X and a Bionic. Are their ROMs out there that allow me to control the device and force Google latitude check ins, or force google voice and remove MMS messaging, etc? I'll probably get flamed for wanting this, however, I'm a Dad that knows of the craziness out there, and I'd prefer to help my kids navigate away from it, rather than go headlong into it.

Please let me know.

Is it possible to flash a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod) on the Arc (lt15i) without unlocking the bootloader? I was about to flash the ROM, but then remebered the bootloader.. I have downgraded to .42 from .62, and was able to root without problems.
