I have to admit. I hated this phone before the update I received late last night. It was the first galaxy out of the 4 that I've already had that I hated. The ota improved things 100 percent! The phone is now smooth and works well with 0 lag.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SlimJ87D:
Everyones usage says otherwise. They probably don't want to admit there was ever a problem in the first place.

Right, Sammy won't admit they fixed the lag lol never. and I still have some lag a little.

I notice a little improvement, its not night and day yet
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
Ya I guess I was one of the

But the update for me has been a massive improvement.. :good:

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

I did a factory reset after the update.. I know it's a pain but maybe you can try that as well..

The update for me was a HUGE improvement..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sal14m:
EXACTLY the same here, applied OTA, phone was still junk...did a Factory Reset and the phone is magical, running amazing !!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iB4STiD:
I reflashed with Odin took the ota and then did a factory reset also wiped davlik for the hell of it, seems different devices are responding different or it comes down to perception of the user. Either way least were getting updates

I'm with you on this!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] invizo:
Man so much hate. Before this update most live wallpapers would slow the phone down big time. Now I can have the most demanding live wallpapers running and launch 30 apps+ and the phone doesnt slow down. Id say its still a damn good update. I cant even get my used memory to go beyond 1.5gigs now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Faluzure:
I didn't notice anything. Then again, I never really checked either. i was coming from a ****ty HTC EVO 3D, so you could put a piece of dog turd in a plastic casing and it would have been better than that phone.

I did notice after upgrading, it said my SD card was damaged and I needed to reformat it. But I just remounted it and everything was OK.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] deserthi:
I scored a 12273 on Quadrant after the update. No lag, seems pretty good to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
I had a note 2 before this and I don't know if this device is as fast as it yet. I did a factory reset but once in a while it locks up on me. Nothing like before the update though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] paleman27:
I think what's slow is the external card reader. If you set the camera to device storage it will run smoother. Further, you can notice the Gallery is much slower when loading the pics from the external sd. The SG3 was much much faster on this task,

Is either the card reader or we need to place a class 10 card on the ext sd.

Oh yeah... :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] chameleon:
Good Day to you all.

This is my first post here as i joined just now because of an ongoing promo on XDA2 and P900 in SMART Philippines.

I am a avid :shock: SMARTPHONE user, Tanager E100, is and was my previous unit UNTIL im gonna decide to go for either XDA2 or P900.

Now, I wouldn't have registered here if I didn't LIKE the XDA2, however since MOST of you here are already experienced users, I would like to ask ALL of you TO HELP me COMPARE the two units and SHOW the GOOD as well as the BAD sides of each. Pocket PC / Communicators are a new field for me as I am a SMARTPHONE user.

Thats where I need your INPTS. Thank you. :D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] xda-rocks:
It really depends on whether you want a fantastic pda with a built in phone function (XDAII) or a phone with a built in pad function (P900). The 'built in' part being compromised on both machines.

I personally have have all of Nokia's Communicator series and both types of XDA and having seen and used a friend's P900, I would definately recommend the XDAII.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] chameleon:
Thanks, I need more info though.

Thanks, Now for Techies, The SPECS say that:

XDA2 has 400MHZ Intel PSX??? processor whereas SE P900 has 154Mhz ARM10 processor. How does this compare?

This sounds like comparing a MAC and a PENTIUM based PC does it?

And which has the larger market support Windows Mobile 2003 or Symbian Technology?

Hope I get your comments, Thanks.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jwealthall:
chameleon

They're both ARM processors, so no it's not like the difference between 680??/PowerPC MACs and 80x86/Pentium IBM PCs - There is a REAL speed difference here.

I would think that the 'largest' market base is with Symbian as it's used in lots of phones and not just the P800/P900s (they're just the top end). Consider that most of the current Nokia (who are the largest global supplier of mobile phones) use the Symbian OS and that there are FAR more Mobile Phones than PDAs
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] griffog:
I'd have to disagree with that view, yes there are more Symbian based phones than there are WM2003 based phones but only a few Symbian handsets have any real PDA functionality.

The PocketPC userbase is vast and growing with a huge array of applications, utilities etc, far in excess of that available for P800/P900's.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jwealthall:
Griffog,

I agree, when comparing P800/P900 numbers to Pocket PC numbers then there are far more Pocket PCs .... Although I wouldn't like to guess that this were true for Pocket PC Mobiles.

Yes, there would be a far greater range of applications for Pocket PCs although far fewer mobile specific ones.

At the end of the day, I'd personally choose an XDA type device - I just wish that the specification meant that you didn't loose all your software/data when the device ran out of power - In this day and age that is quite simply rediculous!!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] chameleon:
Thanks a lot folks, JWEATHALL and GRIFFOG and XDA-ROCKS

British/English Folks help a lot, dont they? im still waiting for replies from other nationalities.

You've CONVINCED me. Though I needed less convincing anyway, as I was inching towards having an O2 XDA II as offered by our service provider here. :D

My XDA II will be arriving shortly and I cant wait. :wink: :wink:

Now the FUN part, trying to understand how it works, with my smartphone background, i know it would be easy, but its not going to be a walk in the park.

My favorite amd very useful apps in smartphone are:

1. PHM Registry Editor (for cool tweaking)

2. Smart Explorer

3. SP Task Manager

4. Mitac Phonebackup

5. Pocket TV and MVP

6. Sprite Backup

7. Twyx Imeter

8. Nintendo Emulator

Are these EASILY available for XDA2?

:?:

Im looking forward to GREAT PDA functions from my XDA, would greatly appreciate the MS Office apps.

Im planning to buy :shock: Wi-Fi SD expansion card :shock: , which I will use to our Wi-Fi server, is it easy to setup?

Id appreciate the replies. Thanks again
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] xda-rocks:
You're in for a treat - most of those apps are available for PocketPC and if you're into emulators there's even freeware emu's for the Playstation and Gameboy Advance
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rayan:
@chameleon,

Welcome aboard!!!

I used to have a P800 (wich is very close to the P900)... I was really into Sony Ericsson phones/pdas, I even have a portal dedicated to them... www.sonyericssonfans.com

But I really went ahead switched to the MDA2 and love every bit of it...

Lots of software and emulators!!!!

Let us know what you think once you have it...

Rayan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] gazzaman2k:
you wont have a problem working the XDA if you know how to use a windows pc :)

the SPV series is hard to set up and configure compared to the XDA as you can touch whats on screen and not having to navigate through menus all the time :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ID64:
I was there. I got XDA2 as soon as it was released in Dubai. Then, P900 came out and I've sold XDA2 and got P900. It's a very cool device, specially 5 way jog - it is something every PDA maker should license from Sony, IMHO. Functionality wise I wasn't very impressed. And the most annoying part was BT. They just hate each other - P900 and HBH-65

Back to XDA2 now and more hat happy with it. Really hope that SE will bring functional BT and better dialer.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] missa2k4:
Hi, All out there

I am also a NewBie here. Happily came here with a good chance, I have learned a lot from here although not long. I had bought an O2 XDA2 for my wife and I am going to buy another one for myself. I am going to dwelling deeply into it technically. The bad side of this stuff, my personal feeling, is that they only implement one SD slot. If they can implement it with two SD slots, then things would be much more wonderful.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] chameleon:
missa,

i think there is a BACKPACK accessory than you ca purchase for your XDA 2, it contains 2 SD/MC slots and an additional BATT, plus an RCA jack??, not sure with this.

Thanks FOLKS, i have my XDA already and im tinkering with it right now.

This is GREAT. hehehe.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] zakeen:
Ive got a P800 and I want to go for a XDA something, I might wait for the XDA3, I need something with Wifi and the new P910 just doesnt have it and you cant get extra wifi with the sony memorystick duo! which sucks a little.

Yes the 5 way jog dial from sony is totaly cool and just great for doing stuff with one hand, only real good thing about the phone. As for a PDA device, its not that great! I try and use it to the max but the screen is just that little to small to do most things with!

With AT&T getting new plans apparently next month (if they are good), I may check them out since they have LTE in my area. Will this phone work since I bought it at full price?

What is your answer i am interested too friend
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] joshnichols189:
No. It is carrier locked to T-Mobile.

Pay Retail

If you pay full retail all you have to do is fax in a copy of the receipt and TMO will provide the unlock code within 5-7 business days. Usually takes about a 24hrs though.

Not sure if you can even find a TMO One right now, it seems like they are in pretty short supply.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] abhishek1234321:
You can try us if you can't get code via T-Mobile. Please PM me if interested :)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] mdiaz33685:
I paid full price for 2 and they refused to give me the unlock code. they said I had to wait till I completed 40 days of service. or unless you were a member with more than 40 days of service they will the unlock code with 2 or 3 days.

they said they would unlock mine at the end of the month, because that is when I would complete my 40th day,

I was very upset, I called over 5 times, refusing to wait, they said it is computer generated, I paid $620 for each, was $579 plus tax, I told them I paid about $1300 I should not have to wait, I had them put there supervisor on, the manager, I was very pisssssed off, that really makes me want to leave them,
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] essdiddy:
Unfortunately I don't think you understood what I was saying. Full retail is $650. The $580 price you paid is the discounted price "with a qualifying plan" contrary to popular belief TMO is still discounting phones to customers. One price with a plan and Full MSRP without an account or service. It is full MSRP without service in which you should be eligible for the subsidy code, not the discounted price "with an eligible plan". It is the service and discount that is causing the problem/delay.

Sorry if what I said confused you or misled you that was definately not my intention, I was just informing of the policy I am aware of. Its possible that too has changed but as of a couple weeks ago it hadn't.

I would look on the international m7 page I thought I saw a thread about unlocking the other day.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
I think you have it wrong. The 32Gb unlocked HTC One is 579, which is the correct model to compare. I think that is the same as all the other 32Gb models, and i believe that is the retail cost. Of course with T-Mobile one has to pay taxes.

Full retail is 650 for the 64Gb dev model.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] essdiddy:
I don't have any idea what the 32g unlocked version cost or the 64 for that matter. I have no doubt you are right on that pricing, but the phone we were discussing was the T-Mobile HTC One sold through t-mobile direct. Which I am pretty confident of the pricing. T-Mobile also sells a locked Nexus 4 for 427 before tax. Bet you can find it cheaper through google. What I am saying is that there are 2 independent prices on the HTC One through The-Mobile depending on how you purchase it...."with a qualifying plan" and "full retail" which when this thread started was $580 and $650.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] mdiaz33685:
I bought one through the store, the price advertised on the internet on tmobiles website was 579, after tax came out to 620... I did join the family plan, I had to order it on the 24th through one store and they mailed it, then 2 days later another store had them in stock and picked up my second for the same price.. paid on the credit card straight out 579 plus tax 620.. the other one paid cause the mailing process 140, then paid it out when I received it when to the tmobile store and paid the rest off..

they didn't have no 64gig, att and sprint had them for 549 I believe, htc.com had the 64gig for 649. if tmobile had the 64 gig I would've bought one for me, and left the wifey with 32 gigs.. haha.. I thought that was regular price at tmobile for 579...

I didn't want the hassel of having problems cause tmobile changed one of there frequencies for the new lte.. cause 2 months ago they screwed everyone using att phones that put the phones at 2g services. I made my own s3 rom from the tmobile phone that had in the modem properties gsm and wcdma, so I used to get 4g, so I sold my sg s3 and s2 which were att models.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
The only high price I saw was through Best Buy, who wanted $699 to buy just the phone on pre-orders. I did not realize that there was a "full price" listed on T-Mobile at 650. I was offered the phone for 579 if I wanted to buy it all at once.

So I'm posting this while on hold (for about 18 minutes now) with tech support. Anyone else having issues with the airave on the east coast? I'm in Maryland. All lights are green, tried the basic troubleshooting of restarts, but I still don't hear the 3 chimes and I'm having issues sending and receiving texts and phone calls.

There was a message on the tech support line about subscribers in Chicago experiencing my symptoms, but the fact that they named a specific city throws me off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mluciotti:
Apparently there is an "outage" that is being worked on. It's sad that I have to rely on this pos device to give me workable service in my area, yet according to all the folks in customer service, they show good coverage in my area so I can't get out of this contract. I swear, come August/September when they announce the new Iphone, I'm jumping ship and going to another carrier, even if I just end up getting the Note II again. And I will gladly have my ETF go to collections. Rant over.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
If you use TWRP v2.5.0.0, there is a file manager which you can use to delete the file. Since you're in recovery, Android isn't using the file. I pointed this out to people wanting to delete the Morphology folder, which has also has proven difficult to delete otherwise.

Hope this helps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I'm not really sure, to be honest. I haven't used CWM regularly since my OG Evo. Play around in the settings and see if they have a file manager.

If that doesn't work and you don't mind spending an extra 20 minutes on it, you can always install TWRP then re-flash CWM. It's easy to do with

the flashable zips from Naddict

. All you have to do is boot into recovery, flash the TWRP zip, delete the file, then flash the CWM zip. It should take less than 10 minutes, but let's be conservative in our estimate and say 20 minutes.

With the Aroma file manager, you actually aren't installing anything. You're just running the software on your phone without accessing the Android operating system.
