[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I never have a brick since smart phone introduced. Just have to becareful and think twice before doing it! search and ask for fact before take the matter into your own hands!! BTW, I never had or used Nvflash for any devices that I owned!
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Neither have I, but it's good to have backup in case the stove you proverbially sat down on was red hot and you grilled your 700's digital testicles to medium. ;)

EDIT: we were talking statistics a few days back: your population (n=1) is too small to deduce a statistically significant statement. Lots of smart people have had bricks since the smartphone was introduced. You are just lucky, until now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
hahaha! I just try to encourage the guy to go for unlocking...acknowledged NVflash is important, no doubt!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jst07:
Bit the bullet and ordered it. The firmware is 10.xxx something, so NVFlash is out. But as long as I an unlock and get my own bootloader and rom on there I'm good. Thanks for the help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You made a right decision. Congrats!! ..and welcome to the race track!
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY! Don't go to JB without nvflash. I did and I can't ever go back or get it now. I now have to be very cafeful with bootloader or I can brick my device. VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY!!

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

No you can still get nvflash with this firmware rev, if I'm not mistaken. Consult the all-in-one-guide in the General TF700 forums. If still in doubt, ask Smasher819 at IRC at the help link in the guide for nvflash. He helped me out greatly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Firmware version 10.x is JB > NO NvFlash.

Rom version 1.2 Rocks, but I cant set ringtones using PhonExt via either contact or category settings......I've made sure the country code is correct and tried numbers with UK country code and without..... Can anyone help
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sheran_g:
Make sure your PhoneExt is running and you haven't accidentally closed it. You will see a little mobile phone on the extreme right of the Today screen Taskbar. You can click this icon and add Category (Group) Ring tones, or you can go directly to your Contacts, select a contact by holding down the stylus on the name and choose 'Set Ring Tone' in the menu that pops up.

Hope this helps.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] mgbudd:
Thanks, just check and its definatley running, any more ideas ?

Thanks again
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sheran_g:
No further ideas, I'm afraid. When all else fails, RTFM! :wink:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] killercheung:
It seems you have to put the wav file inside the \windows\ringtone folder to get it works.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] mgbudd:
thanks everyone still no joy and even read the manual ! any more ideas !
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] auldg:
Hope this story helps. I have ROM 1.1 and couldn't get PhonExt to ring the way I wanted. I discovered tonight that the .wav files should be <100k otherwise it doesn't ring. Perhaps bigger files take too long to load???

......just discovered that this is not true....it still doesn't work. If the files are too big though, the ring is not previewed when assigned to a category or contact.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] andygee:
PhoneExt

I am having the same problem with the ringtones as they don't want to work for the people calling. Guess I'm gonna end up switching to different program for rings until it's figured out what's causing it not to work. I haven't tried the less than 100k thing but will today.

SOLVED post #3

Have you been succesful isntalling Google Now (I mean the info cards) on Ion in an unsupported country (I'm in Slovakia)?

I have seen it running fine at XTXperience rom, but cannot get a clue how to install it on CM10.

Help appreciated, thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Its part of gapps for cm10

Sent from my JB Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sorgo:
Yes, but it didn't show up the cards, just plain search box.

I solved it by removing all google now related apks, installing from play store, setting the language to English, running google search, setting it up and then switching back the locale to Slovak. Strange behaviour, but it helped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
Ever since the S3 left ICS, if you enable an alternate font that didn't come preinstalled on the phone, the phone cannot show it in bold. This means you cannot see what threads have been read in forums(or read them very easily) because new/unread threads show up in bold. It also effects various other areas where bold font is needed. I've been hoping the updates would fix it, but no. Can anyone figure out what changed with regards to handling fonts between ICS and Jellybean and cone up with a fix?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scorchedsky:
I'm not sure what you mean, here's a screenshot with "Hattori Hanzo" - some flipfont I downloaded from a random .zip full of flip fonts. The bold isn't very intense, but it's clear which threads I've checked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
Here's what I mean, one screen shot has default font and other has a flip font I used on ICS:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackdubl:
View attachment 1799571
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OMG_VTEC:
does the font package you are using have a bold version of it?

i know some ive used have to have a separate .ttf file for bold and italics
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Adamoos:
Can anyone tell me how to get good looking caller ID pictures?

When I synced my contacts with facebook quality of the pictures were terrible, so I got some pics from my Nikon, crop and resize them to size about 1000x1000px and still they don't look really good when calling :/ Maybe I should use different resolution of these pics, or something...?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] micx_pl:
Since I don't have facebook, I can only tell you how my friend did it. He used FriendCaster from play store, and ticked option to synchronize HD pictures from FB. That gave him good looking photos in contacts ;) Now he is using haxsync for sync, which also gives such option, and disabled sync in offical FB app ;)

If you have any troubles with those apps, let me know ;)

Pozdro ;)

I have been charging my phone for almost 8 hours now and it's been stuck here for like 1 hour

is that full-charge? or do I have to wait until it fully-refills?

Why dont you try switching on your phone?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phenomzye:
yeah it does say 100%, but I was wondering why not a full battery graphic if that's the max? Also I saw on another threads that sometimes it says 100% but isn't fully charged so I thought it had something to do with this

Let's discuss the current situation regarding orders from Handtec.
[One (M7) General] thegregulator:
My order still says processing. I hope everyone else is in the same situation.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
On their website: Expected date 14 Mar, 2013

No one received mail to be informed about a different date.
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:
+1

I ordered from Handtec, and seeing as they charged me, I sure as hell hope they're right about the expected date.
[One (M7) General] Palla71:
Which payment method did you use?
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
If paid with gwallet or paypal, they charge instantly. If credit card was used, then upon dispatch.
[One (M7) General] Wh1techapel:
Says "Due in soon" on their website. Bad news by the looks of it.

EDIT: Just on the phone with Beats.
[One (M7) General] MuhKoInc:
Gwallet, yes I'm aware they charge instantly if you use that, but since they have my money, they best deliver!
[One (M7) General] omersak:
So it's very much up in the air at the moment. Hoping for the best.
[One (M7) General] 4onu:
reply from handtec 2 hours ago :

,,Thank you for your email. We currently expect stock to arrive in the next few days and will do our best to ship the items as soon as possible.We would expect all items to be delivered within 2-3 days of dispatch. You will be contacted as soon as we have dispatched your order. Please let us know if there is anything else we can help with. Kind regards.,,
[One (M7) General] GuestK00431:
Pretty sure Handtec would have had an email or call from HTC by now guys if its delayed with them too. Everyone else who's effected knows, fail to see how Handtec wouldn't by now.
[One (M7) General] darrenjdoc:
Just off the phone to them. They said they haven't heard anything from HTC or their suppliers about the delayed rumour. They have contacted them and are awaiting a reply.

They said to ring them after 10 in the morning and they will know then but by the sounds of the guy it looks very promising for Friday delivery :)
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Don't get your hopes up just yet.
[One (M7) General] GuestK00431:
They would have heard by now, everyone else has so I'd say handtec and clove people are safe.

[One (M7) General] romitkin:
Yes that seems weird to me too, but maybe many have cancelled due to the delays and bought the Xperia Z or something similar.
[One (M7) General] EnIXmA:
I just pre ordered mine. Will it show processing until they ship it, or the status should change in a day or two?
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
R: Orders from Handtec

Maybe it will show processing for 1 week or two, depending when htc sends handtec phones. My order shows the processing state since 9th of march...damn, this htc one is a neverending story!
[One (M7) General] EnIXmA:
Wow. HTC messed up big time on this one. I am in no rush since I am currently using and keeping my Nexus 4. But dam, I feel sorry for the people who sold their phones and had to cancel their per orders after such a long wait
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
The 100 pre-order is reasonable now. 1st those who live on UK probably cancelled their pre-orders there and just went with P4U since obviously they already had stock since the 15th.

Some international pre-orders probably cancelled it and some decided to get another phone instead or waiting for stock to be available. Or maybe they just opt in for purchase on Ebay instead. I heard some are already selling HTC One there(They must have ordered a dozen on P4U and is reselling it on Ebay for a higher price).

And yeah I don't expect thousands of preorders on a online retail store which isn't even famous internationally. :D In fact I myself only know handtec because of this weird release date of HTC One. If only they distribute it evenly I would have waited here on my country instead.

Anyways! I really believe 27th is the exact date of the availability of stocks. I really believe that HTC gave out the specific date to retailers already and handtec encoded that date on their system but is still reluctant for anymore delays that's why they decided to hide it from us to avoid surge of complaints if ever(Like what happened on the 15th).
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
Do not bet your money on this date since clove, amazon.co.uk and expansys still have 29th as their release date and they are selling ONE in higher price than HandTech!
[One (M7) General] asad510:
Funny - received an email from Handtec - they state

At no time do we ever give stock figures and preorder data. The info provided from the xda user is wholly untrue and would only represent a fraction of orders and our preorder is in the 1000's.

Makes sense

I think he got mistaken and it was a scenario that was explained - like they have twice as many booked as pre-orders hence the confusion
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Having a lower price than those companies makes sense. Handtec is only a small retail store unlike clove, amazon and expansys. The bigger the business the more income they need to generate for them to maintain their business.

Regarding the 29th date. If you ask clove(like I did) 29th is the maximum allowance HTC provided them but it is not the final specific date the phone will be released.

HTC told them "up to the 29th" not "on the 29th" well at least that's what they said on my email hence why handtec posted "week commencing the 25th" since both mean the same but handtec's statement is alot more marketing friendly.

Anyways clove did mention also on my email yesterday that they will be providing an update regarding the HTC One later so possibility that we will get it later on or we will have a decent info.
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
Regarding the date let's hope that you are right and me wrong, this will mean that we will receive our phones earlier :D

Regarding Handtech what matters to me is that they have a great price, clear policies for International customers and a very "clean" site. Its up to them to become bigger and to my opinion they have all potential for this.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
Also posting this one here.

http://focustaiwan.tw/ShowNews/WebNews_Detail.aspx?Type=aECO&ID=201303260006

:D hundred thousand pre-orders on US alone? Seems good enough!

And by the way guys look.

Now I remember a news last week ago stating that "HTC One to hit shelves this week in 3 countries"(UK, Germany and Taiwan)

And now by connecting all the news.

1. Taiwan, Germany & UK get's the same release date.

2. Taiwan releasing the HTC One today(March 26).

3. Handtec hinting a 27th of March availability(Glitch) on their site.

4. Clove stating an update later on about the status of the HTC One.

https://twitter.com/clovetechnology/status/316169245220302849

https://twitter.com/clovetechnology/status/316169369556238336

Do you guys think that we can expect it later on or at least tomorrow?
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
No...
[One (M7) General] omar302:
That is NOT for Pre-Orders!!!

HTC made a "Sign Up" program that would entitle anyone (in US/Canada) to get USD 100/- cash back (trade in value) if they purchase the phone when it comes available and send their old phone back.

So anyone could register, then if they bought the phone, they can get USD 100/- back by sending their old phone! It is completely different compared to "Pre-Ordering".
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
You have a point. But... Why would you sign up there if you don't even plan on availing it? Seems like a waste of time if you ask me.
[One (M7) General] stoicism:
You've got that a bit backwards. A big box store can get away with smaller profit margins because of the sheer quantity of sales. Handtec might have priced a bit lower to get a slight competitive advantage, not because they need less profit.

Regardless, the One's price is no indication of release date.
[One (M7) General] adsam3927:
I have no idea why they would lie to me ... I know what I heard and asked them twice because that figure of 100 preorders surprised me too.

I don't believe you received that email from them

And I've ordered numerous phones from clove in the past and they've always given me preorder numbers because I've simply wanted to know where in the queue I am.....and secondly they've never been in the thousands ...even when the galaxy s3 was released

This is simply Handtec marketing

Somebody on this forum already said Handtec gives release dates earlier than other retailers just to drum up business and then fall back to "delays" like everyone else
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
Reading carefully the thread I didn't find any official release date from Handtech other than the "w/c 25th March 2013". There are many posts in the last week that explain what "w/c 25th March 2013" means.

So the rest of the "official" dates are from the xda users trying to guess the exact date! So I don't see any marketing trick here.

PS. I had made a post of 25th March by mistake (copy/past error from Handtech's site omitting "w/c" ) but in the second post after mine I was corrected by "weaselEST" user so I never corrected my post (since there was no reason).
[One (M7) General] weaselEST:
Has anybody contacted them recently (today). I have my ticket still open and no reply for about 24hrs now.
[One (M7) General] compact_bijou:
Maybe the guy on the phone was just fobbing you off?

If I worked in a call centre I'd soon get tired of people asking the same question over and over.

I'd start making stuff up to amuse myself.

What's that sir? You'd like it in blue with gold trim? Certainly. Delivered by unicorn on Sunday? no problem.

Click.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
I don't want to contact them asking again. 99% Their answer would be w/c 25th of march. I've already accepted it lol! :D Whether it would be released now or tomorrow or 29th I won't get it until april anyways since it will just be stuck on our local customs till the end of the long weekends.
[One (M7) General] zcui:
Handtec said phone expected to arrive on March 27th early last week, then removed it. A few days later, they had that exact same date again, and removed it again after just a few hours. If you didn't see it, that means you missed it. Somebody had that screenshot posted earlier under this thread.

People are not just randomly guessing the date here, it is all based on information we are given by handtec, and we are pissed because as time goes by, that date seems more and more unlikely.
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
You are right, I saw that, but when I had checked the site it was not there...so since it was not there I did not take into account.

Regarding the date since nobody has sim free available units that can ship international Handtech is ok with me.
[One (M7) General] inffy:
They replied to me on twitter. They still have no word from htc about the shipments
[One (M7) General] PuntNL:
Amazon.co.uk just pushed their release date to April 12. And the phone cannot be ordered directly from them at this point. Have my order with amazon.de and monitoring what is happening with handtec the coming days.
[One (M7) General] ChazyChaz:
another delay ? hahaha
[One (M7) General] adsam3927:
Yup... totally possible :D

<<Yes, Sir! Do you prefer a blue unicorn or a violet one ? >> <<Violet violet!! A flying violet Unicorn!>> <<Ok, no problem.>> XD
[One (M7) General] Djmk4:
I pre-ordered mine today and ask them if i am in the queue and i have the one shipped with the first stocks...that's the answer...and i think that no one except htc knows when they have stock and how much will have....for example handtec maybe ordered 1000 and htc due to lack of devices sent them 500....i mean the whole thing is based on htc and not on shops.....here is what they replied to me and i think it's pretty fair.....

Thank you for your email. We are expecting the HTC One to be with us during the week starting March 25th. This date is not guaranteed but if it does change then we will post any updates we get on our blog, Twitter and the page associated with that model. We are uncertain as to the quantities we will be getting into stock but we are obviously hoping to be able to fulfill all our preorders.
[One (M7) General] gezzy:
R: Orders from Handtec

The same here, this is their answer:

" Thank you for your email. Please be advised that we are expecting it in this week however could not give you a set date as this is subject to change, as soon as in stock we will complete your order then notify you upon dispatch. if you require any further information please contact us, thank you for your patience and co-operation. Regards. C While.

Handtec Customer Care"
[One (M7) General] inffy:
I hope they will also get the black version(which I ordered) on the same day. I'll switch to silver if it seems they won't get the black one. IMO the black looks much better :)
[One (M7) General] Nekromantik:
If no company has had a update from HTC when the release date is meant to be in 3 days time then I think we wont see anything this week. I got a feeling we wont see dispatch from anywhere apart from maybe Phones4U until 2nd April.
[One (M7) General] MikeChannon:
We have received a communication from Handtec to say the information is inaccurate and anyway information on stock levels / values is "deemed confidential". As such it would not be given out to callers.

So, the official position of Handtec is that this information is not correct.

Mike
[One (M7) General] mmathiou:
Amazon.co.uk use UR Mobile to sell and dispatch HTC One. Maybe it has to do something with this store.

I totally agree with you!

My feeling is the same, next week will be the lucky week. However the critical question here, is the one that Djmk4 wrote in the post above, will HTC provide enough units to cover the demand? Based on HTC official statement I believe they will do so.

Please note that neither Expansys nor Clove has change their release date yet. This is a good sign so far, but it does not mean that HTC will cover all the demand.
[One (M7) General] nookcoloruser:
Expansys haven't a clue what's happening regarding the HTC One. I must have rang them almost everyday for the past week. They just don't know when they will get stock in from HTC. They were given a date of the 8th March initially to expect stock (a full week prior) when the release date was the 15th, and given that its now the 26th and they haven't received stock as yet it's not looking very optimistic.

At the very best we can expect stock 29th (possibly) with retailers not disptaching till the 2nd at least :rolleyes: To be honest, HTC's whole roll-out of this their new flagship is a bit of a disaster of miscommunication and over-promising .... Much like HTC's software updates and support in the past, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised......

It's just not a great way to turn over a 'new leaf' for the company which the HTC One meant to represent. Especially when the S4 is now going to be biting at its heels even more so.

Yes it's a #firstworldproblem and nothing to be too upset about, but at the same time, it's still irritating that the company is falling at the first hurdle in the 'learning from past mistakes' 200 metre sprint...
