[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nonaxanon:
hey guys, i need some help here, got a captivate which usb was broken, noticed it was when usb just poped out in mid of a flash, so i made me a jig , it works like magic, i can get into download mode, BUT what ive been having trouble is getting it to be recognized by my laptop or other laptop or other PC, it sometimes does sometimes doesnt, the jig ALWAYS works, so i get into DL Mode always, im on winblows 8 , when i was back on win 7 i didnt have driver problems, i installed recent drivers from samsung and it still gives problems getting recognized, so ive downloaded some one clicks to flash to stock but they stuck sometimes on setup connection sometimes uploading kernel sometimes on the PIT , any suggestions ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pradeeppk:
I think some pins of your USB port is loose or defective. Jig need only 4th and fifth pin. 2nd and 3rd pins are used for data( data transfer between PC and mobile, flashing etc) and 1st pin is +ve . are u able to charge it properly?

My suggestion is to Change USB port before flashing. If a loose contact of USB during flashing may brick your phone.

Hi mates

I really dont like touchwiz, and always i install nova or apex because of theyr features.

Now i want to find a lite rom. Its not important that samsung base or cm or aosp or aokp or...

I only want a fast, smooth, stable with good battery life for daily use.

I know i must test the roms and choose best one for my opinion, but i want know your opinion about this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
the thread will be closed quite soon as you know ;) and as you mentioned: test them by yourself, no one knows how you use your phone. Hence you will only get generalized answers like: for battery Samsung base is good, for speed, aosp/aokp etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arash64a:
No, my main target is find a best choose between official rom and non official roms.

And ONLY a lite rom. I know Omega rom maybe is good for our device, but i want a LITE one. I know i must test all roms, but i want use your experience for test only best ones.

Okay look, I know that the MT4GS Only gets 2g From att if you sim unlock. My question is Now that they're releasing the LTE network will they change their frequencies? My Lady accidently washed her HTCoX from att and now its f'd up. She needs a replacement and we live in Vegas so we have great service. I just need to know if this is a waste of my time, and she should just use the "rent-a-phone" (Borrowing a SGS3).

Hi

yesterday i flashed benz rom 4.1 via recovery, it worked so i restored accounts and call log via tb i did not reboot right away, and later on it frooze. so pressed power to reboot and now its in bootloop, static Samsung logo after the sound.

3 button combo (vol up, home, power) does not work, never did i always used to go in recovery via rom manager or quickboot.

I can get into odin mode but its not getting recognized, problem i could not solve even before i flashed the benz rom, tried several usb cables and pcs

Anything else I can try?

Thanks

update:

HI Guys thanks for the suggestions, as I mentioned flashing via odin is not an option, haveing issues with USB I come to therms with.

So new drivers wont work, I tried with multiple cables and PCs other phones SGS I9000 can connect.

I was already prepared to contact Samsung Support and removed the SIM and memory card, and then it did boot?!?! so it must have been an issue with the sim card, 5 years in and out of phones does harm it, I scraped a few layers off and now it works again.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] franciscwlau:
Written from Hong Kong. I've bought a XDAII two weeks before and I believe it should be well combined by O2 and Microsoft. After one week, I really found it as an extremely poor manufactured one. Many defects I found:

1. Always hanged. After a long time I haven't used the phone, then I tried to switch on the screen and I found it hanged... Someone called me but I couldn't know!! It hanged 3 to 5 times per day. What a poor machine is it??

2. Bluetooth handicapped. I've matched the phone with different bluetooth headset such as HBH200, HB65 and Nokia. No one could be perfect matched and the phone always couldn't recognize the headset.

3. Sound quality. Poor... Worst than my old fashioned phone, Nokia 8850, disconnect even in MTR!!

So, I sold it immediately after 2 weeks!! I'll never buy the product from O2 again!! I've sent an email to O2 but no one reply me. I'm very disappointed with the phone and its producer.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] killercheung:
I am from Hong Kong , too.

Obviously, you don't know how to optimize your machine.

1. My XDA2 never hang for unknown reason. There are few software conflict with the phone. If I uninstalled those software, the phone works perfectly. My phone is extremely stable right now and no miss call.

I recommand you install scarybear software's WM2003 nofitication utility to improve the performance of your XDA2. It seems XDA2 is affected by this BUG VERY MUCH.

http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html

Install both of the software to fix the WM2003 notification bug.

Moreover, DON'T install PIEPlus if you do so. THe current version (1.11) slow down the XDA2 very much.

2. I want to know what is "Perfect Match" . HBH-65 works perfectly with my XDA2. Moreover, I want to know what "recognize" you mean. If you want to say you can't bond/pair the headset, please set the headset in pair mode (please read the manual of the headset) .

3. I strongly believe XDA2 has the best sound quality. All mobile I used beforce is not as good as it (Motrola DB8800 / StarTac / V3688 , Ericsson T28/ T39 / T68, Nokia 8210 / 8850). I used 8850 before, it's sound quality is quite poor.

Maybe it's your device's own problem, I think you should return for another one.

Moreover, I sent emails to myxda.com 2 times, they replied me everytime.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] franciscwlau:
Thanks a lot... I bought it from CSL and I've checked with the experts from it. They also said that there are some bugs regarding the hardware and software. The response with bluetooth headset is poor on average, which we've checked with nos. of new machine from CSL. They've asked O2 for suggestion but they can't help. Never mind, it's just my own personal experience.

I've used iPAQ 5450 before and listened to MP3 music, its sound quality is much better than XDAII. It's true, you could try it.

Has anyone faced the same problems?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] killercheung:
I agree with you, XDA2's sound qaulity (Audio output, not voice quality) is not as good as ipaq. However, did you test it with another earphone?

The original handsfree's qaulity is .......... :(

(Yes, I know, even with other earphone (with a modified handsfree / 2.5" => 3.5" adaptor) , the qaulity still not real good.

Moreover, the qaulity of the machine doesn't match the price. Too many bugs for a HK$6688 / US $800 machines....

The sad fact is these latest PDA/phones are getting so smart they are more akin to owning a computer than a phone which unlike with the typical blokia means you need more than an ounce of brains to run it.

ho-hum.....
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mrg2003:
2 weeks isn't long to get to know a smart phone..

The bad

The XDAII is unreliable, crashes frequently, is a brick, battery life is dismal.

THE GOOD.

I can get by with one device on my belt + BT GPS in my hat. I don't need to carry camera, PDA,phone and GPS. Advantages, less change of being mugged. If Mugged I lose just one item.

It will get better..

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] huxiangyu:
well , I also faceded phone hangs every 1 or 2 days and the only way I could do is to do a hard reset(evern softreset can not be done), so after about 10 times hard reset and not install any apps, I send it back to HK for maint. I love XDAII, it is really a powerful PPC and phone, just not stable enough, maybe it is too frag.

I hope it could be fixed, some one said that after a rom upgrade, it become more stable, I believe it is true. now, the only thing I could do is to pray for it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sohand:
XDA II not so bad!!

I owned XDA II for 2 weeks. Initially, I tried to install many many software and caused system hang for a few times. However, after I have tried the best-suit software for me and installed one by one. The system didn't hang for a week.

128MB Ram provided a really good perforamce. I felt that it is a little bit faster than HP2210.

MP3 sound is ok with the given headset as the Treible is a bit high. I believed that it could be improved by changing the headset.

There is no need for me to bring a mobile phone, a PDA. Most of the people used to bring mobile phone everyday. However, they would forget to bring the PDA or not bring in weekend. After a period of time, the PDA will be on the desk for a month, then in the drawer for a year....

All-in-one is really good.

I agreed that O2 should tune the machine better before release to make it more user-friendly.

The thing I felt not good is the voice from the earpiece. Sometimes, there were some GI..GI sound during phone call (mostly girl voice). I suspected that there are something like a spring that resonance with the earpiece and caused the GI..GI sound. I would also due to the over-volume on the earpiece.

Does anyone experience the GI....GI sound? I tried to go to the dealer and test another handset, same kind of GI..GI sound was found.

Besides, I can't find anyone TV Remote that could work with XDA II. I will give the software company more time....

sohand
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jonathan W:
I am from Hong Kong too. I bought it at CSL. The machine was great FOR TWO WEEKS. Everything before that moment was fine until it decided to commit suicide. I really mean it becuase all of a sudden the screen darkened and no response at all no matter what I did, soft or hard reset didn't help. (I didn't install a single software in it). So I took it back to CSL and they were happy to swap it with a new unit. The new unit has been functioning well until now (touch wood). Overall I love this product (except price) except I don't know when my little baby decides to leave me.

Here are some of my comments on the machine:

GOOD:

- Phone reception has been excellent. Even better than many Nokias.

- Most powerful PPC + phone combo. No doubt.

- I did consider SE P900 which looks stylish. But I hate Sony which force the user to use the extremely expensive Memory Stick Duo.

- Lots of 3rd party software, comparing to Symbian OS.

- I like the indepedent volume control of the main and phone vol. and is a huge improvement over my XDA I.

- Also, the brightness can be adjusted for different level, unlike only on/off for XDA I.

- The handwriting recognition is quite good. I don't like the graffti in Palm cause I have to enter each letter which is very slow. I can write a whole sentence in my PPC.

- I don't like the 'hanging' problem. It doesn't crash without reason. (except the 1st unit suddenly died).

- The battery life has improved dramatically compared to XDA I, but still no match for SE P900.

BAD:

- No profile feature.

- Service codes (e.g. **21*phone no.# for call forward in HK) can't be entered in speed dial. It is very useful but I can't understand why my 1/10th priced SE T100 can do it but my XDA II can't!

- There is a slide button in Treo that can switch the phone from loud to silent in one touch. I don't know why the designer can't just copy good things from others.

- MP3 will pause when a phone call comes. In XDA I, the music resumes after the call, but the music will pause after the call for XDA and you need to press a button. It's plain stupid that the XDA II is worse than I.

- Again, one can switch the phone on/off by pressing the 'End Call' button. But in XDA II, you have to click the antenna icon on screen and wait for the dialogue box appears (which takes years to appear).

- It is simply RIDICULOUS that closing a program is not really closing it. To be fair, it is PPC problem not O2. What's the logic for going to the memory screen to close a program?

Any comments?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] huxiangyu:
I do experient GIGI sound during I used my headset.

Do you guys in HK used any Chinese input app such as CE-Star or Monster Chinese?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] somesex:
Hi,

I am actually from Hong Kong also and bought the second batch, English revision ...

1. Obviously the "hang" problem might be related to (1) you've installed s/w that are not compatible with WM2003 (like Chinese system) or because of the WM2003 System Event Bug. As killercheung suggested, there are always workaround and O2 should not be blamed (because it is M$ OS ...)

2. Personally I used HBH-200 and have no intermittent bonding problem as you described. Yes, the CALLER-ID and CALLER LIST won't work as expected (because of the required bluetooth profile does not exist in XDA2), but other than that, it's working as expected. I know Nokia's Bluetooth have numerous problems but it is Nokia's problem, not XDA2.

3. The sound quality is good. My wife said it is TOO LOUD ...

Yes there are a lot of bugs in the OS and ROM itself but I think nothing in PDA field can match XDA2 at this moment. When compare with PDA functions, s/w support etc, even P900 is no match.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] somesex:
Re: XDA II not so bad!!

Hi,

I heard there is NO remote controller s/w supporting XDA2 at this moment, people are saying that it does not have consumer-infrared support ...

BTW, I think the GI GI sound is normal ... although mine don't have.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dilta:
I'm from Taiwan, but my XDA II was bought from HK. :D

You can find that some applications lag or crash when executing on the XDA II. That's because XDA II has too many pre-loaded applications in memory. So, if you want to make your XDA II run faster, just get to the "startup" directory under the "Windows" directory, and delete some AP shortcuts which are unnecessary. Then, you will find that your XDA II runs much faster than ever.

I haven't installed many apps other than tomtom nav 2. The supplied apps are good enough fo me. It only crashes about twice a day, not bad for an MS product, I can live with it. I still use nokia as my main phone.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BarnOwl:
I am not from HongKong or Taiwan but I can imagine that people who don't have experience with PocketPC's and the XDA I in particular have problems with the general use of the machine.......

I think it is a great device. The only problem is that it is driven by a Microsoft OS which is still in its childhood. And knowing MS it probably will never get out of it..........
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] franciscwlau:
Hi,

You could tolerate the hanging twice per day!! Sorry, I really can't accept this happen anymore. I do think it's the problem of MS, but O2 should take some responsibilities reagarding it. I've used the iPAQ before, it would not hang as I've installed many many softwares on it. The most important point is you don't know when it would hang. You don't know who called you before... Tragedy... Now, I'm using P900 and it's much much better. The software running is very stable and I could still install many useful softwares on it, except the ms reader. I really recommend to buy the P900 if you desire to have a trustful phone + PDA... Although you have to sacrify some functions.

You should also s-off and change hboot to cm7r2 to use space more efficiently.

I believe you're still on stock hboot, so you have a lot of free space on system partition which is wasted. Change hboot will also increase upper available /data (internal memory) size.

Check everything's working correctly afterwards by installing another app like 'diskusage' to browse all your partitions.
