Installing HTC Sync and Driver Installer In Windows 8

While installing HTC Sync in windows 8, you might recieve "Driver installer appears to have failed, Do you want to continue the installation"

just select continue the installation

now you cannot sync your phone with your PC

download HTC Sync manager and install it. It will install the driver installer.

Now you can enjoy syncing your phone with PC, Internetpassthrough..,

Worked for my HTC wildfire S and Windows 8 Enterprise N 64 bit:laugh:

Thanks, You´ve saved my time!

I find this post useful too.

I´ve just reinstaled my PC and am not interested in installing of the HTC suit - I just need drivers for rooting of my son´s Evo3D. Google gave me Your post on the first site. That´s exactly what I´m looking for.

I´m not a geek nor newbie in android customisation. Just a newbie here, ´cause I´m lazy to share.

I always read faqs, threads, manuals, instructions etc... I´ve never posted a question or comment ever - I always found what I needed.

Thanks to people like You, who share with others, what they found and is worth to share.

That´s why I post this comment.

I wish I find time enough to post useful founds too...

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kMakoid:
Ever since I lost my HTC G2 I've been searching for a replacement for all my emulator gaming. I read about the Xperia Play and this sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.

- I wouldn't be using it as a phone. I've got my HTC One S for that (I'm with T-Mobile). I would only connect through WiFi.

- I would mainly use it to play emulators. I don't care too much about marketplace games that I can play on my normal phone.

- I would most likely be rooting the phone in order to erase all of the unneeded apps and free up more space. I don't know much about custom ROMs or bootloaders but I might look into that as well. Anything that would increase the phone's performance without shortening its lifespan.

My question is does it matter which model I buy? I see the R800x listed online for as low as $80, and the R800i in the $200 range. Why is the R800i so much more expensive? Does the phone need to be unlocked? Are there any flaws/hardware issues/annoyances in general that I need to know about?

Thanks for any help. I know you guys get these questions a lot but I couldn't find the specific answers I was looking for after searching.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
Shouldn't matter. I'd go for the Verizon play. Around $80 on eBay and you unlock the bootloader for free. Just be aware that there are not as many choices to roms for the Verizon model. Good romz are definitely out their for the Verizon play.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Do not buy the R800x. Lack of support roms, terrible sound quality in the speakers (missing xloud another Sony feature), missing sony stock applications (true sony experience), less users, stuck on 2.3.3 firmware, and lack of developers. Take it from who owned an R800x. Right now my r800x is spare parts for GSM xperia play. Verizon xperia play is worth less than the R800i and R800a last time i checked for verizon xperia play $60. R800i and R800a is still go over above $100.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kMakoid:
Thanks for the input! It sounds like the R800i is the one that I should get then. Unfortunately the price is a bit high right now, I'm going to have to continue looking around until I can find one a bit cheaper. How good is the hinge on the game pad? The G2's keyboard was notoriously bad and would not stay closed.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathacer:
You know, I have two version of this phone...

R800i gets stock SE experience with 2.3.4 OS, you can get max 230 RAM (Fresh instal)...

R800x gets stock vanilla GB experience with 2.3.3 OS (ugradable to 2.3.4), you can get max 270 RAM (Fresh instal)...

Cause R800x get vanilla OS, it's smoother to playing games, but you will lose SE taste...

And I have read that R800x user can unlock bootloader on sony website like R800i...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Heres the one thing nobody mentions the differences between the R800x and R800i. You can not use any GSM GB roms on the R800x they are incompatible. The R800x will boot but you will have a black screen.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kMakoid:
Would you recommend the R800x over the R800i from a purely gaming standpoint? What would I be missing from the stock SE?

What are GSM GB roms?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
I listed them on you lose timescape, xloud, bravia engine, custom roms, custom kernel, wifi connection on the R800x is weaker, weaker speaker sound, google servies dont work on R800x 2.3.4 firmware. List goes on and on.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathacer:
If i JUST play game, I will stand to R800x...

But if I want better conection n optimized OS for hardware, I will stand for R800i, custom OS n more tweak is more than R800x...

GSM GB ROMs is only for GSM phone or R800i...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
If you only use it for gaming, the R800x is a great deal, better than most PMP that cost more.

You can unlock the bootloader of the R800x free from Sony website in order to flash custom kernel and roms. The R800x have less roms than the GSM version, but unless you specifically like to flash roms or want to use ICS and JB, it's not necessary since they both have poorer performance than stock/stoc-based Gingerbread roms, which by far are still the ideal choice for best performance on this device. You might to want install custom kernel to overclock though. You probably only need to root it to delete some bloatwares.

As for flaws, the screen brightness is a bit weak and sometimes barely or not visible under direct sunlight and the screen might get dirt underneath, depending on how much lints are in your jean pockets. Some people broke or worn out the flex cable (that connect between the motherboard and screen) overtime due to sliding out the gamepad too much, but I had 3 different Plays and never had the issue.

My preferred version is the ATT R800at, its compatible with the R800i roms, and after sim unlocked its compatible with T-Mobile 3G in some area.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kMakoid:
I might have to check out the R800at now, I really like the blue case. Thanks for all the info!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
The R800at is the version that one can't unlock the bootloader from Sony website. Though WotonServer is supposed to be able to unlock both of the sim and bootloader.

There is the new thing in US about being illegal to sim unlock carrier locked device, but if you buy it used out of contact it doesn't matter.

But even the stock rom rooted and bloatwares remove is enough if you don't plan to unlock or flash anything.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
I have the R800x and only use it for gaming.

I have a Galaxy S 3 for my smart phone and don't even have Verizon phone service. I unlocked the bootlader back when you had to pay using the test point method. Since I don't use this as my phone I don't care at all about google sync issues which only affect Android 2.3.4.

I was able to flash the ftf 2.3.4 rom and then since my bootloader is unlocked I rooted that by flashing superuser with a bootable recovery. Doom kernel test v02 works as well since I don't use my phone for cell service I don't care that doom test kernel v02 breaks 3G. As long as wifi works I am good, which it does. With that I can overclock to 2ghz if I want but the stock kernel has been fine for me for everything.

I have not noticed any issues with the speakers though I cannot compare to other models. They are better than the single speaker in my galaxy s 3 I think due to the fact the speakers are more forward(or downward) facing than a typical single speaker smartphone, though I usually use headphones anyway.

The nice thing about the Verizon version to me is Gingerbread is basically stock Android and there isn't much bloat to worry about.

If you unlock your bootloader there are a couple JB roms like slim bean and one other called zeus rom or something that work well enough and are pretty much AOSP but for compatibility the 2.3.4 rom has been great.

Due to the Verizon one being CDMA you WILL pay less for a nicer unit.

One thing to note is that there is some sort of screen protector thing that comes pre-installed (that scratches very easily, smudges easily and doesn't feel as nice as going without) and if you take that off the brightness of the display will be better. There are comparisons if you just search. It's kind of hard to tell that protector is even on there when you get it because it is installed really well.

All in all I am happy with the R800x. It is basically a super powered PSP Go with a better screen resolution. (If you don't play PSP games anyway :)) It runs every emulator I can think of just fine which is what I primarily use it for in addition to games like Final Fantasy 3 or FF Dimensions (using the app GameKeyboard to map touches to the physical keys of course ;))

P.S. I upgraded to 2.3.4 because Final Fantasy Dimensions doesn't work on 2.3.3.

P.P.S. My Vita will replace the Xperia Play if it ever gets hacked enough. That would be a beast of a gaming machine if it was fully unlocked.

P.P.P.S If you like to chronically flash and test new ROMS the R800x is NOT for you.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kMakoid:
So I found a listing for an R800 AT&T 4G unlocked on ebay. What does unlocked refer to in this case? Would I have any issues with the new law that just took place?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
It is most likely mean sim unlocked. Unless the buyer specifically state bootloader unlock.

The law is really not enforceable anyway and it only apply if you buy it AT&T through a contract as I recall, even if you do no one is going to bother you.

With locked bootloader, you can root, install CWM and the NXT Lite rom for this device, its the smoothest possible experience (imo) so you don't have to worry about bootloader unlock unless you really want to.

Hello guys

I have flashed my Xperia T (rooted and unlocked boot) with FXP204 but now I can't move apps to SD (internal or external) which I usually moved them with the stock rom.

I have tried:

Menu>settings>manage applications, but "Move to SD" option doesn't appear in this menu.

Android Assistant doesn't show any movable apps.

link2SD i get an error about insufficient memory but internal memory is free 10GB and external SD i got another 10GB free also it say "mmcblk1p2 not found".

app2SD says something like "internal memory is not real or it is emulated".

From recovery mode I formated sdcard and no change at all.

Also I tried some changes on /system/etc/vold.fstab and restart it but it was unsuccessfully

I would like to move some apps to SD.

Please help.

thanks

So htcruu got shut down due to using "HTC" in domain. Beyond that gets grey.

HTC does not want to say "sure you can host RUU's"

But it is a nudge nudge wink wink "if you didnt use the 'HTC' in the domain we would not have got this far".

It would be great if HTC would just say "yes RUU hosting and leaking is fine", but they wont officially say it, but they have NEVER attacked this before.

The training center I work for is piloting a bunch of mobile devices to distribute to users . The devices need to be able to access only a select number of websites and a few in house apps (a sad use for these wonderful devices). I have rooted one of our Nexus 7s and disabled most of the default apps. I then just password protected all of the apps that I must keep like Titanium backup, settings, etc. What I can't figure out is how to lock chrome so that it can only go to certain websites. Does anyone know how i could do this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Android doesn't have parental settings like a computer with security software like kaspersky or McAfee. It also doesn't have such a software that prevents you from accessing sites you don't want it to be accessed. You can tell the IT department to set the privacy settings so when the sites are typed, it'll be blocked.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bitweasil:
I'd address this by having them contact a specific access point that accessed a specific proxy (that they were configured to use) with the list of sites.

Squid isn't bad to configure.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
drop the default route (ip route del default), add the desired DNS hostname translations to /etc/hosts -> /system/etc/hosts, and then add back in individual routes (ip route add) to the ip blocks named in /etc/hosts.

This would need to be repeated every time the DHCP lease renewed, as the renewal process will certainly re-insert the default gateway route, and the current IP might change.

A better solution would also compromise or replace DNS lookups with the same domain name whitelist, and every DNS lookup not in the whitelist would blackhole to the loopback (127.0.0.1) device.

You didn't say whether or not these devices are "in the wild" (either 3G or random WiFi hotspots). If the devices are captive (getting DHCP leases from a corporate/business access point) there are plenty of other tricks that can be played at the default gateway.

Note also that it is pretty typical for "web sites" to pull content from all over creation, or use load-balancing services (e.g. akamai) where the name-to-IP translation can't be readily predicted in advance,

Both of those factors might condemn you to be perpetually editing your hostname whitelist and routing table instructions.

good luck

I'm using a Sprint S3 on Page Plus that I purchased off ebay. The voice/text/data work just fine but the data speed is 1X and I'd like to somehow get the 3G to work. Can someone help me with that?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vanakatherock:
Using a Sprint GS3 on Page Plus may mean that the 3G won't work. As Page Plus operates on Verizon's network, the Sprint radios in your GS3 won't operate on Verizon's 3G frequencies. Your best bet would have been to buy a Verizon GS3 as you likely could have gotten the 3G to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xda_kwr:
How does, then, one sell a Sprint GS3 (SPH-L710) with 3G working on PP, on eBay? There are listings if you will see, with a working 3G. I just made the mistake of buying one with 1X data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
1X just means that you're in an area with no 3G. It doesn't mean that you're getting "1X" data speeds because 1X is what SMS and MMS are transferred over, its not actually a "data" signal

It may be that you just dont live in an area where verizon gives 3G

Sent from my PG06100
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xda_kwr:
I'm pretty sure Verizon has 3G here (I live in the city of Chicago, and moving around the city doesb't give me 3G either).

Anyway, I'm pretty sure the guy who did the flashing couldn't get 3G antenna to work with PP, which is what he told me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vanakatherock:
This seems to be a recent development for myself, then. There are a few Sprint phones that look to be fully flashable to PP with 3G/MMS working. You may have purchased one that wasn't fully flashed. Making it work would likely require changing more than just the APN. My advice would be to contact a seller on ebay who is offering the service only and see if they can assist.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Why not just flash the radios? Your on xda where everyone flashes about everything. The seller would of flashed them. But not to mention he's legally not allowed to do anything about phones that are flashed to a different network as it became illegal the other day. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xda_kwr:
No idea how to flash the 3G radio.

As far as the legality is concerned. This phone was unlocked much before any of that, and since now it is not tied to any carrier anymore (and no terms of service), making changes to the firmware should be perfectly legal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
You'll need a donor phone to get 3g. Some might help you here, or go over to the Page Plus forum @ Howardforums and you should find your answers there. You'll need a newer build of QPST and DFS CDMA Tool demo.
