Every phone I have had direct from 3 has been crippled for OTA updates. 3 like to spend a month or 2 crippling and bloating the update before they roll it out. Back in my Nokia days there were some N97 updates that never made it to my 3 locked phone.

Sent from my Vipered Desire HD
[One (M7) General] lezduur:
well. got a couple of phone calls telling me i could walk into the store anytime and pick up my one. i practically ran!! instore 4 different reps at different times told me they had a surprise for me, all said my 69 upfront was being returned!

not bad, been playing with this thing for the last couple of hours, omg its beautiful!
[One (M7) General] QSBladey:
Did they say why it was being returned? I wouldnt mind getting mine returned! :eek::eek::eek:

I DID get an email though, telling me my line would be reduced by £5 per month saving me £120 over the contract time, NOT BAD! :good:
[One (M7) General] lezduur:
the website says it is now available for 36 a month [on the one] without any upfront charge. i mean, thats ridiculous, i just forked over 69 the day before yesterday!

guess these poor chaps instore had no idea 3 would suddenly change the upfront to 0.

the fiver off should be better in the long run, mate. good on you!
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
3 have reduced your deal by £5 a month? Wtf? I've literally been hammering them all day long to give me a deal and they won't budge!

Yea i wouldnt want a three branded phone. The updates would come through so late.
[One (M7) General] mancuk29:
Disagree with the above - I have taken a new contract out today for the htc one in silver and paid off my old contract (£197) ....

I got the 3 plan for £36 pm plus £30 cash back off my first bill plus phone will be with Monday

whilst £30 isn't a lot its better than nowt . I could never move off 3 as I use a lot of data, they are superb and best of all we get 4g upgrade when they go live for free !!!!

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

Nope you will find that most companies push their updates before the unlocked ones now ... I have the Samsung note 2 unlocked and only got my 4.1.2 last week , 3 pushed out the 4.1.2 in January

Three branded are fine (I normally buy unbranded but on one have gone for branded) there is little branding on the phone , a quick flash screen which disappears after around 2 secs (have a friend who has one mines not coming till Monday) and the my 3 app and that's it

nothing else pure htc for the rest of the phone

3's repair service is second to none also , better than htc as they do a 3 day turn around - not that im tempting fate but know its there if I need it

---------- Post added at 01:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 AM ----------

may be in the old days .. the htc one has little branding and in fact they are quicker at pushing updates than unlocked most of the time

I agree in the old days it was bad but they are awesome now
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
Not for the HTC one x. They constantly got it months behind the Unbranded devices. Plus the three repair centre send it to HTC a lot of the time.
[One (M7) General] mancuk29:
must be different on htc then because my note 2 unlocked was 2 months behind 3's update

oh well - got good deal and fingers x not to many problems to warrant urgent updates

whats amazing is I cant see any major complaints on the forum so all must be good :)

giving orange a try in the knowledge that even if i do need more data than i can get with orange, i can switch to 3 PAYG and use that TOO for the remainder of my contract and it will still be cheaper than buying directly from 3 lol

[Transformer TF300T General] g-droid:
Hi!

As I didn't find all informations in one place to get a rooted and locked JB TF300T(G) starting with a stock ICS one I wrote down all the steps I made.

So let's start:

0. Having a TF300T(G) with ICS firmware

1. root using debugfs -> [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1706588"]Thread and tool by sparkym3[/URL]

2.1 download & install busybox
2.2 download "SuperSU free" -> [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu"]Google Play[/URL]
2.3 run "SuperSU free"
2.4 grant SuperSU root rights to update the binaries
2.5 uninstall "Superuser"
2.6 reboot
2.7 run "SuperSU free" to check if root is enabled

3.1 download "Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper" -> [URL="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl"]Google Play[/URL]
3.2 run "Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper"
3.3 press "Protect root"

4.1 check for OTA update via system settings
4.2 download & install OTA update

5.1 run "Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper"
5.2 press "Restore root"
5.3 run "SuperSU free" to check root access

6. Having TF300T(G) with: root, locked bootloader, warranty, newest official Rom

You may rerun steps 4.1 to 5.3 as there is maybe more than one update to do until you reach the newest firmware.

Thanks to bads3ctor for checking this guide.

News and issues about upgrading the Bouygues' iPDA.

Nouvelles et problèmes concernant la mise-à-jour du iPDA de Bouygues.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sopheap:
I've just screwed up my iPDA's radio stack by upgrading it to 4.21.00 (O2 upgrade). :?

I really need someone to help me getting out of this mess! Does anyone owns a Bouygues iPDA with the original radio stack ROM and who can gently pass it on?

Merci les Frenchies...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] zendrui:
Hi,

You got problem with the 4.21.00 O2 upgrade ?

Why would you re-flash your XDA with the old originial Bouygues rom ?

Rather put a kitchened Rom from Jeff site (a WM2003 based rom or a 3.17.03 based rom as well)

It works great on my Bouygues Ipda ... :D

Frenchies a la rescousse :wink:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sopheap:
Thank U for your answer zendrui!

Yes I got a problem with the 4.21.00 RSU... I don't any signal at all...

My previous Radio version had a weird numering: R3... something instead of the usual "4.xx.xx"... Do you think there could be several hardware design of the iPDA?

By the way if someone has the original Bouygues RSU, please let me know!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] sopheap:
You know what...

I found the solution to my problem by myself...!

For those who encountered the same issue:

1. Bootload the PDA (hold "On/Off" button and soft reset)

2. Enter the GSM module test menu by pushing the Calendar button

3. In the menu, select this sequence:

- GSM TURN ON

- GSM RESET

- GSM 900 / 1800

In fact the RSU upgrade will kind of resetup the GSM module (or turn it off), which is apparently not suitable for the French network. So one has to set the GSM module with the right parameters...

I guess this is applicable to other countries as well.

I am so happy! :lol:

Hey in the menu I noticed options "GSM 1900" along with "GSM 900" and "GSM 1800"... Do you think the XDA is actually TRI-BAND?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] zendrui:
Well pleased for you if it works.

Personnally I put a WM2003 4.00.05 rom and it works well.

I also saved the original rom form bouygue if needed (but it is really a too old rom)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram11:
Folks,

Can anyone suggest how much battery life they are getting on their device. Not sure it is a common problem or my device is defective.

It stays on for only 3 to 4 hours and dies, i.e. just a couple of messages and emails (albeit on 100% brightness and NOT on Stamina mode). Is it normal. Brightness to be kept on auto?

If I play video or so, battery goes from 100 to 10% in about 1 hour maximum.

Have juice defender installed. Also a task killer (which kills the background ones and they restart on their own). But not so much help though.

Any suggestions?

I use a note 10.1 for two months and did gaming all the time with 3g on but it lasted for two days without charging. But the Z cant even handle 15 minutes of gaming. It goes down from 71% to 62% IN 15 MINUTES. I expected the update would fix the problem. But I dont see any difference. I was so curious with the Z. But I doubt that now.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parapaul:
On 100% brightness I wouldn't expect much more.

From experience I set my screen brightness to about 25%, which is more than enough for normal use indoors. If I need to use the phone outdoors or in sunlight I'll put the brightness up but it always goes back to 25% when I'm indoors again.

The only sync I have on mine is my Google account, everything else is set to manually refresh only.

On my 3rd day of owning the phone I had 24h+ of use from it, and that's still improving. My battery is on about 60% at the moment after 18 hours. If I turn on Stamina Mode it predicts another 2 days!

However, if I was watching videos at 100% screen brightness, I wouldn't expect much more than an hour or two. Horses for courses.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiruba2013:
Not Normal

Your situation is not normal. Maybe the battery life on the Xperia Z sucks. Maybe it's all about managing your apps and stuff - but no. Not that much. Playing video shouldn't drain the battery 90% in an hour. I play streaming video over WiFi for 2 hours a day (boring train ride) and leave WiFi on and Stamina mode off all day. Maybe when I get home at the end of the day the battery is at like 30% and maybe I don't play with the phone much once I get to work - but video kills the battery in an hour? Not if it's hardware accelerated video.

I al sure some people will say "See what is running in the background", but I am not sure you would be able to drain your battery that fast even running like @home stuff.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odd1ne:
How does the note 2 stack up compared to the one and s4? I know that note is a powerhouse how well would it do side by side with the next evolution?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dmwitz:
I still think Note II users have the better phone. I'm not just saying it because I have one. I really do think they hit the nail on the head with the Note II. Great screen, awesome battery and the S-Pen.

If the S4 had come with a pen -not just finger hover- I might have been more interested. The S-Pen is the biggest selling factor for me. I obviously use it for sketching, note taking -even math and of course photo retouching. It is however very very handy for browsing the web. The "mouse over" function works great on many sites by letting you see under menus and larger images and saves a lot of page loads.

Rumours are already circulating that many of the S4 features will be coming to the Note II and S3 so we really won't have anything to be jealous of.

I went from an SGSI to the Note II as nothing in between was of interest to me and not I.m.o significantly better for my needs.

I can happily wait for a Note III or even Note IV

With that said I am jealous of the uber sharp pictures that iphone 4s and 5 owners enjoy.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Me personaly i find the S4 a big fail and apart from a few new gimmicks that don`t add much there is nothing that makes me want to buy it. Overall the Note 2 is still one of the best devices out on the market IF you like the screen- and overall size of the phone.

But let me explain the issues :

So far, the best I get are the notes from Gtask in the phone after syncing but without title to sort them. Useless !

the body of the notes in gtask are not transfered. It all has to fit in the title (of Gtask) to get to the phone Duh!!

Any idea would be appreciated.

I kept my (at 100% when I went to sleep) phone unplugged last night while I slept to see how it does when it's idle. (when I'm working I'm running WiFi tether which obviously sucks battery life so I've not seen how it sits.

6 hours later I woke up to A battery at 71%, which was kind of surprising. I've attached some screen shots.

I run CleanROM 6 with its stock kernel. Would a different kernel help?

Are you on Wi-Fi at home? I've read some people having this issue and they've turned off the Wi-Fi power management feature and it seems to resolve this. Settings--wi-fi--menu key-- advanced should get you to the right menu (I'm on an aosp rom so not sure if it's in the same exact place).

Also an app like Better Battery Stats might provide more specific information about whatever is draining you.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImperatorShade:
Hey Guys.

I'm very excited to get my nexus 4 but I've been hearing a lot of people talking about the RLOD!!

What causes this problem and is there anyway to fix this??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indoh:
the red light is just caused by using your phone the wrong way. it won't happen if you do not flash a custom rom anyway.

And if you flash custom roms it won't happen either, if you follow the standard steps you have to follow on every android phone. It's just a brick that can happen on every android device if you flash broken .zip's or anything else comparable .

People who claim this happened from a moment to the next without them doing anything wrong, are just not telling the truth. Even IF this would happen this way(not your own fault), you could easily get a replacement from google without any costs or problems.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImperatorShade:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XupModz:
These many people you speak of? That's not even half possible for it to RLOD on pure stock without any mods it's just to save the hardware its the phones built in safety net...unless you plan on OCing to 1.98ghz and set it to performance and run antutu that will most likely do it for you :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

It happened wih or without running an Antutu bench. Yes some users have reported the red light on stock with rev 10 or with rev 11.

Antutu is not directly the culprit, it's due to a bad read of battery stuff (in a stress condition even at 50% battery the phone think you are out of battery then shutdown + heat, there is an issue with some phone about the battery contact inside the phone). If it's happen you can try to let your phone in charging for hours, sometimes it's enough. But the better thing is to open your phone then disconnect / reconnect the battery.

It happened also while flashing something in recovery mod, 40% battery, flash then reboot and bam red light...

Also on a French forum it happened during a download while browsing...

I agree we not know all the conditions together when it happened but it seems this is slightly random. Maybe a combination of circumstances...

It's "just" related to some weird battery reading issue.

For example I ran a bunch of Antutu bench with / without overclocking at different battery % (even at 11% battery :D) without any issues, at least until today...
