Well after a very unhappy honeymoon with my BT Navigator 2 & while waiting for the seemingly similarly complex & inadequate V3 upgrade, my 'trusty' :lol: BT GPS receiver has died, charging light works docked or directly connected but no GPS light or any hint of a signal being received!

Don't buy this rubbish! You have been warned! :twisted: :evil:

Much poorer & still lost in Europe and having to fall back on MS Autoroute! :x

Sorry to hear the bad news.

Please let all of us know what the resolution is.

Tomtom paperweight..........

My GPS receiver has now been repaired & returned but the version 3 which we were promised would arrive in April has not materialised.

(Hello, TomTom! It's May! or did they mean April 2005?) :wink: HoHum, I'm still relying on £39.00 MS Autoroute to find the route to put into my £500+ TomTom! Duh! :roll:
[General Topics] cruisin-thru:
I have found TomTom software and hardware to be very reliable and now that version 3 is available has become a real bargain. Except for a few discrepancies in mapping which has nothing to do with TomTOM as they use 3rd party maps, I think it is a near perfect system.

TomTom 'naffigator'

Hey Cruisin', don't know if you have ever tried 'Cruisin Thru' up to five countries a day but with TomTom it's been a nightmare! I have just installed the upgrade to mk3 (no mean feat either as it wouldn't accept the new maps <still on 8 CDs :x >) and have got 2 big trans continental trips coming up starting next week. So the truth will soon be out there! watch this space! 8)
[Sony Tablet S] zandm7:
I know Sony has said there are no plans for a Tablet S upgrade, but I was wondering on your thoughts about if they might change their mind. Really hoping on it, personally. I'll keep my fingers crossed; all this tab needs is JB.
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
There wont be JB update for Tablet S. Sony are so lazy, it took them almost a year to release 4.1.1, i doubt they will work on JB for the S (although its generally the same)...
[Sony Tablet S] SammiSaysHello:
As ubichon said, I highly doubt there'll be a JB update for Tablet S. Not only did it take almost a year for the Xperia Tab S, but the fact that TS was a 2011 device makes it even less feasible. No Xperia device from 2011 got JB :(
[Sony Tablet S] jpm168:
If they would open up the dang bootloader then devs would prob do it. I mean there's ICS and JB roms for the xplay even though Sony never updated anything since GB
[Sony Tablet S] hyrk:
Someone know why sony dont unleash the s1 ?
[Sony Tablet S] SammiSaysHello:
Too much effort. Porting JB to S1 can be seen as 'waste of time and resources' when the xperia tablet z is almost out, and maintenance of an old tablet by VAIO isn't high on the priority list for their department (and understandably so, since VAIO doesn't specialise in tabs but rather computers, and S1 is 2 years old)

Simply business :p
[Sony Tablet S] zandm7:
Unlocking the bootloader would surely not take much effort...would be a proper sendoff for the original Tablet S anyways. Not really a sendoff because it would only be the beginning...

:D
[Sony Tablet S] jiggykilla:
I'm not buying another Sony phone or tablet ever again!
[Sony Tablet S] zandm7:
You sir, are an imbecile, if this is simply based off of your experience with either of the Tablet S's. No offense.

Sony phones have always been made by the Ericsson/Sony Mobile team, which has been very speedy with updates (as of last year and this year) and has always supported the Android community wholeheartedly. In fact, Sony was named OEM of the year by this very site. The reason the Tablet S's have had horrible support is due to the fact that they are managed by an understaffed VAIO team that never was focusing on Android products in the first place.

But wait! There is good news! The Xperia Tablet Z, which is set to be Sony's next flagship tablet, is being developed by the Mobile team! So we can expect awesome support, unlocked bootloaders, etc.

Don't hate on Sony on the Android front; they've been quite amazing at supporting the community since last year-ish (maybe longer).
[Sony Tablet S] Asiansniper911:
It's a shame people are too daft to realize this, especially with the whole Xperia S JB update drama. Sony is kind enough to create a update, they could just not update it at all.
[Sony Tablet S] jiggykilla:
I disagree with you! I'm entitled to my opinion! if i spend my hard-earned cash on a product, should i not expect the makers of that product to put any issues right? you are talking as if money grows on trees! Sony should take some responsibilities and stop making excuses!
[Sony Tablet S] Asiansniper911:
You can have an opinion, but you shouldn't expect a company to do what you want. They are at least doing something to get the updates to the consumer, why would they want to spend money developing updates for a device you already paid for. You have to remember too that Sony is going under a huge financial crisis, the mobile division has a budget and limited people.

Excluding the tablets, Sony easily allows you to flash different roms and root, you could easily have a custom JB build on the Xperia S right now hell I just checked there's a 4.2.2 rom.
[Sony Tablet S] jumper62:
Sony mobile allow us to do stuff to xperia phones. It's Sony VAIO that don't Allow us for the sts and xts
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Exactly. Sony Mobile is full of open minden people, who even release their own flash tools, their own instructions how to unlock bootloader, they release kernel sources etc. etc. etc.

If you look at the Xperia Z - there are already Custom Roms for it, including AOSP and CM. Phones like Xperia S or the Xperia ARC S also have tons of mods and roms....
[Sony Tablet S] hyrk:
ty for the answers !

i really really really regrets my purchase when i see my girlfriend's touchpad Cm 10.1 ! :(

i have many stuff by sony, but my last smartphone is not sony,

too afraid they will not unlock the phone.

edit : customers dont have to give a f** if its sony mobile or sony vaio or what u want, they just see SONY
[Sony Tablet S] Ubichinon:
Yeah, totally agree on that. I was just making a point, that the Sony phones have nothing in common with the tablets :)
[Sony Tablet S] tonycrew:
It don't matter which department makes what it's all part of the same company and it's SONY's LOGO on the products, therefore its the SONY Brand which is getting the stick, and consumers will feel let down by this, it's not a point of updating to JB it's about fixing the issues with the Tablet, and as a whole SONY have let some customers down badly, we don't really care which department made the dame thing,

If you went to Mac D's and your burger was raw and you took it back to the counter and the person said to you sorry there's nothing i can do because i don't normaly make burgers i normaly fry chips you would say thats stupid i just want what i ordered, well the same applies here i just want a fully working product. I don't care who's job it is. I paid £359 only 14 months ago for a product with flaws.

See what i'm saying the fries have nothing to do with the burgers but it's still Mac D's
[Sony Tablet S] SammiSaysHello:
Does that mean you wouldn't buy a Sony tv or camera? :confused:
[Sony Tablet S] tonycrew:
No it doesn't I was just making the point of it doesn't matter which department made it, the support should be there to fix problems that affect functionality and stop the device from not doing what it was intended to do.

What it does mean though is I prefer Burger King to Mac D's :)
[Sony Tablet S] jiggykilla:
Well said! Its not too much to ask sony to fix the issues, if not unlock the bootloader and let the devs solve the issues.

[HTC One X] funh0use:
Hi, everyone

Yesterday I tried to root my HTC ONE X. Unfortunately, the phone got stuck in TWRP. I haven't used this recovery before but the touch didn't work and neither did the keys. When I pushed the power button appeared a screen saying swipe to unlock but it won't work either. I'm not completely sure how I got rid of TWRP screen and relocked the phone now it is stuck in fastboot mode. What's more I can't find the proper version of the RUU, my phone is 3.18.401.1 and CID is 032. And like it wasn't bad enough now my battery is low and I can't do anything neither unlock it again, nor install the proper RUU(which I can't find anyway). it's the endeavour
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Hej

You can run this batt script from within the fastboot folder, the phone reboots continuously and charge the battery little by little

http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO

Run it for an half an hour or so, then unlock the bootloader and flash this recovery

http://db.tt/z07vyksQ

Its a non touch recovery, you can use the volume buttons and the power button to control the functions.

Then you can restore a nandroid backup, or flash a new custom rom. There is no 3.18 ruu !

If you do not have a nandroid backup you can get a new one here

There are some log cat apps on the market that you might be able to get radio log cats from. Or you can turn on USB debugging and then enable adbd over network, something the adb WiFi toggle from the market will work. After which in a terminal you can do "adb connect localhost" and then use the adb logcat from the terminal emulator.

I'm always on wifi either at home and at work and I had a bunch of devices and I have to say this one by far has the best range I've ever had.

I'm thoroughly impressed cause I've always remember HTC always having the worse range.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] boxdgm:
I noticed that myself as well. I used to not be able to pick up wifi in certian parts of my house now i get near perfect signal i every room. I also get 1-2 bars in my garage (not attached).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] blakstar:
Just to correct you, Sony xperia devices actually have the worst wifi reception.

All these good reviews about this remarkable gadget is opening my appetite.

So this phone: Great design. Aluminum made.Great wifi reception. What more ?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] snickersNsprite:
This is good to hear. I thought there was a problem with wifi. I'm not able to connect at all with my One but I have no problem connecting on my Nexus 7 or iPhone 4s. I guess I just have a defective unit. I'm going to exchange it in the morning.

Edit: Got another phone and wifi still isn't working at all. Probably gonna switch phones. I really liked the One too.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] WW3:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cornelious2:
5ghz is finicky in general with most routers
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Felnarion:
I think the Wifi signal bars are just screwy. As far as real signal goes, and speeds, it gets about the same speed as my S3 in my bedroom...But the S3 shows one bar, and the One shows full.

I think it just reports full bars even if it's only about half strength.

The wifi analyzer app confirms this. Wifi analyzer shows half signal despite full wifi bars.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] atm153:
What's weird though is I can see networks that I've never been able to see from inside my house before, routers that I'm pretty sure are 300-400 feet away at minimum. Really appreciating the range since my One can get connected to my home WiFi as I'm pulling into my garage, and start downloading whatever it needs to a little faster than my other phones have.

I'm considering upgrading to a 4.2.2 ROM. Been doing some reading, particularly about the /0 folders in the SD card.

I saw it suggested that a person NOT switch back down to 4.1.X from 4.2.2. Anyone have OK experience doing that? I want to be able to go back if for some reason I want to.

I'm on 4.1.1 TW based ROM. From what I read, I should have /data/Media folder, but I don't . Either I'm confused, or what I read was wrong, or I mis-interpreted it. Comments?

Thanks for any thoughts.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hednik:
You can gon ack and forth and be just fine but just make sure you back up your imei and efs folder and you are golden.

The only reason is that you can loose your imei go back BUT its rare. If you.do a full wipe is recommended and not just system and factory reset i.e. /data as well.

A ext sd card is best so you can avoid all of that and a good file explorer like root explorer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
Really appreciate your input. I have been proceeding in the direction you recommend.

I presume that restoring /DATA after moving from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2 is not something I should do. Better to restore apps from Tibu (not system), and data for those apps as required.

I also anticipate making a Nandroid of current system, with hopes of restoring to that if I'm not happy with the new ROM I would experiment with. Maybe doing a full wipe, etc. before restoring that Nandroid would be a good idea too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:

Well it takes a while when at 99%, but don't touch it while it's on and wait for it to top off. It's probably trickle charging at 99%.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mr_sock:
I read here somewhere that from 99% to 100% took about 20-30mins. It could be a firmware thing or they can be doing what Apple is doing so you don't overcharge it.

It charges and discharges to conserve the life on the battery. If the phone was kept on a 100% charge the whole time then that would decrease the life of your battery drastically.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's better to keep it at less than 100%. If there was a manual settings threshold, I would keep them as start charging when below 70% and stop at 90%. This is my battery charge threshold setting on my Thinkpad X230T laptop.

Well, I'm not sure about the problem; if you are on a custom rom, it might be because of that, or incorrect flashing. Try using another ROM, and if problems persists try Stock ROM meant for your region.
