[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] The Key:
Thanks for the reply :)

Good thinking, but we can't buy them from e-bay.

We need more then one, all with receipt.

And I think the risk of not getting the devices, or

(slightly) broken/buggy models is too big.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tim C:
try O2 shop in Holland if they have them

in the UK they are selling reconditioned 32mb XDA's for 99 GBP with contract (can be data only), missing a few bits - headphones and software, but you can get these separate anyway.

I just cancelled my O2 data contract and bought another XDA with standalone data contract with PAYG voice.

Regards

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Paul:
Whereabouts are they selling them for £99 Tim?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Asa:
buy XDA

Try: http://shop.brando.com.hk/

I just bought one from them excellent service ,

I sent them money via Paypal and the device was FedEx to me the day after.

You mean UK O2 shops are selling reconditioned XDA for 99 GBP ?

It's unbelievable.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tim C:
yes 99GBP - I bought mine yesterday from O2 shop in Bluewater, (01322 623860) but I guess any of the larger O2 shops will do them - I didn't check the O2 shop in Lakeside which is smaller.

It had no headphones, leather case or software.

The headphones you can get for £20 GBP

Those horrible cases you can get for £20 GBP (or a decent one off ebay for $30)

and I have the software anyway - and would imagine you could obtain easily from this forum anyway.

It had the USB cradle, power plug - uk & european pins, little serial power adaptor, stylus x 2. The xda was in near perfect condition , only the label on the back was slightly lifted, where i guess the technicans have changed something. Maybe others will be different.

If you already have a 12 month voice contact, the data part is probably only 3 months. So i cancelled my data contract and will give the sim to someone and took out a new data contract (12 months if data only) with PAYG phone since i rarely use the phone (which most sales reps won't tell you - and the data contract works out £10 a month less for me anyway.

and now i just have to decide which XDA I keep, and sell the other one.

O2 is still selling these refurbished PDA for 99£ in all their stores I've seen in London.

I am worried about the absence of software.

What software usually comes, but is absent on the refurbished XDA?

Is it software to install on your PC/Laptop or is it softawre for the XDA?

WOW 99 pounds I want one but without service - Possible ?

99 pounds WOW

I am really interested in finding out this software missing part .....

1- Please, let me know. If this software can be downloaded from somewhere around here then I would contact them immediately to buy one.

I don't need any service I just need the device. Is that possible ? is this price for the device only without any service ?

2- Is this tri-band !!

Thanks a million guys. This is a great piece of information.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] bdarras_:
There's nothing on their website but go ask in their shop

I've bought mine a month ago now for 99 pounds in London, in Hammermith Kings Mall, but the two shops on Oxford Street also had them for 99 pounds.

I admit I haven't checked since then, but when I asked last month they said this wasn't a temporary offer and it would go on.

They don't actually advertise them anymore, but just ask for the "REFURBISHED" XDA in the store!

As far as I can tell the "missing software" is the 2nd CD-ROM provided by Microsoft which contains Microsoft Activesync (and probably other free Microsoft software) which you can download for free from the microsoft website. http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync35.asp

(version 3.6 is also available, but other users on this forum suggest you do not use it (yet))

It did come with the O2 CD-ROM

It did not come with the headphones, no replacement stylus, no leather case

It is NOT tri-Band
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] bdarras:
confusing response from O2

I went to the shop in Hammersmith this morning, they said they still carry the promotion but have no XDA "in stock" (read: none that have been brought back to O2 for "refurbishing") but when they will get some you'll still be able to buy them for 99£.

HOWEVER, i also called one of the shop in Oxford Street and they said they stopped selling them a "long time ago".

Sorry for the confusion, hope this helps.

I asked in the second O2 shop on Oxford Street, the one closest to tottenham court road ( Yes I know, I always go to the same places, ...)

They said the same thing:

- ...We don't have them any more

- But wil you continue the promotion if you get some more in stock?

- Yes...

He didn't say whether they were actually expecting to get any new ones in stock
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] climber:
I am not sure but...

somehow I get the feeling that the ease of unlocking has led O2 to change the strategy in selling these thingies.

On the other hand.....I just lost an online battle of command and conquer Generals. So there go my strategy skills :evil:

hi, i bought a xda unconnected from dixons for only £399

if you go into any dixons store, they will do a search for you across stores in the region, you must quote unconnected. (ex-display)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tim C:
It would probably be cheaper to buy one on contact and throw the sim card.

12 months @ £15 per month = £180 + the cost of a phone.

If anyone does throw the SIM card, can I have it?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] PVL_93_RU:
Hey guys, there are several application in Play Market that are either related to a specific kernel (a manager app) or a ROM (like Darky's ROM app from the days of Gingerbread and Froyo), or useful apps like ROM Toolbox

But how many apps of that kind are there and how are they named?

What I suggest is to create a full list of such applications, divided into few categories like "Kernel specific", "ROM specific", "ROM customization", and so on.

Only ones I know are:

ROM Manager (and the PRO version)

Goo.im manager

ROM Toolbox (and the PRO version)

TricksterMod (for kernel management)

Direct Play Market links for the apps are also welcome
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ChemicalSymphony:
I think this is a great idea. But you might want to include the creator/developer for each as well.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] PVL_93_RU:
Seems no one wants to help with making this list
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Nope, because "root app" is meaningless except being a prerequisite.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bransyeah:
Although above post has some point I'll chime in with some very useful apps:

-Greenify It lets you hibernate apps when screen is off to save battery.

- Systemcleanup. Helps a lot to update system apps and eliminate them also. It's also good to clean cache.

- Orange backup. Makes nandroid backups without having to reboot to recovery and also has the ability to upload them to google drive etc... It has support for both TWRP and CWM.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] rrgrrg:
hey devs ,, currently i have sold my lg optimus black and im going to buy this xperia s ,, so im actually an x-dev in the section of p970 so i have some questions please if devs here can answer them :D

-how is the battery life ?

-is cm9/10 stable here or there is some annoying known bugs ?

-the battery non-removal forms an issue (incase of brick or bootloop)?

-What is the most battery saving rom which also stable and better than stock ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
First thing you need to do is make sure that the one you buy is bootloader unlockable otherwise you'll be stuck with Sony based roms.

Cm9 and cm10 are very stable, 10.1 isn't too far off being stable either! I use it as a daily fine.

Overall best all round is PAC 19.3 i think currently. Battery life is great on it and it's soo fast to use.

Battery overall, it's a smart phone, it'll probably need charging every night

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Different ROMs use different kernels. Check the ROM development thread for the list of compatible kernels for that certain ROM. And it's not necessary to use ROM Manager to switch ROMs, a kernel with CWM is good enough.

[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Hi mate,

can you tell which software version exactly and is this a WWE variant?

I ask because i got a Villeplus as a present from some HTC manager and it had a Firmware on it which was WWE and newer than the Asia RUU that has been floating around for a while, BUT, i forgot to pull a full backup before getting rid of stuff in it. So, now i have a (nearly) full raw partition dump but i am lacking data partition (10GB was too large, aborted pull cuz i thought it was stuck) and i also got rid of some system apps i didn't want, so basically screwed up.

Now i wonder if this is maybe the variant i am after? The 1.14.999.50. 710RD (with all WWE languages) and not 1.14.709.16 which is only Thai/Chinese/English?

Plus, is it already adjusted to run on the Ville or is it screwing the partitioning? Cuz i need one that's ok to run on the Villeplus...
[HTC One S] jmz:
This is based on the one already floating around. So not the wwe version. Come to think of it that's what was on my device before I screwed up my device. If you have a full system dump I can make these for it too. Unless its broken. This is working fine on my villeplus without issue. I tested them both on it

Edit: I'm going to try and get the wwe ruu. Its missing from my site anyways
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Asked my manager "Friend" from HTC for it. No reply, no way we're gonna get that RUU unless you got a leak source still.

That RUU would be extremely handy as i want to get Viper running on it and Torxx could need the RUU to check out a few things.

And i am currently trying to find my way through HTC's partition wizzardry blindfolded (total beginner with this). All partitions are at the exact same addresses, the Ville RUU's run on it too but the Mounts are screwed in the flashed Ville RUU afterwards so i have no idea where else to look.

Next thing i'm gonna do is pull a RAW Dump of my Ville and write it over to the Plus without mmcblk0p3 to not risk any serious sh!t (hboot from Ville already been on it and working) and then see if the Partitions are still messed up (maybe clear storage with Ville Stock Recovery helps fixing that then??).
[HTC One S] jmz:
Are you saying that the villeplus ruu that exists now doesn't work for you?
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
Oh yes it does. It's just not available in my "Native" language (De-de).

Also, since i want to ready that fone for my wife who's speaking french natively i would love to have THAT on it too lol.
