I bought the Play Station 3 Keyboard (Bluetooth) - it works. I bought it for only 10 € (last one in the shop :p )

Only Problem - No German Layout possible without an app :rolleyes: using "External Keyboard Helper" will fix it.

I´m on Galaxy Tab 2.7 CM 10.1.1 ; same problem on a P5110 Stock (no root).

Any ideas how to get it work without an app (German QWERTZ) ?

something in the build.prop?

Changing ro.product.locale.language=en and ro.product.locale.region=US to ro.product.locale.language=de and ro.product.locale.region=DE ?

Im using a Bluetooth Keyboard from ANKER.

Perfect layout, quite small, fast connected almost perfect!

OK, it's an old topic, but anyway... :) Microsoft Wedge BT keyboard works perfectly for me. The only thing I don't like about it is the protruding part at the bottom (where the battery compartment is) -- I would prefer a flat design. But functionally, it's a great keyboard.

Those are NOT bluetooth keyboards -- they use proprietary RF transceivers. If it really is a BT peripheral, you don't need to plug in anything extra, as long as your host is BT-capable.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] Skarni:
Cheap option...but

I bought a "aluminum" keyboard for my Tab 2 7. In reality it was plastic with an aluminum color. It fits the tab as a case and is BT. It works fine and I payed all of US $15.

The down side is the keys are very small so no way for my fat fingers to touch type. If I don't look and concentrate I hit 2 keys at a time. But I have been using it for the last 9 months.

Found it on Ebay.

hello guys.

First I apologize for my English because it is not my native language.

I will try to explain my problem in detail.

I have a HTC HD7 which was with the old version of WP7. I did the upgrade process to version 7.8.

Because of the delay in the update. I thought I had already finished and disconnected the device in the process.

Now, some functions do not work, such as messaging and access to some settings.

I wonder what should I do to recover my device.

hello, good morning ...

* I'm two months with a problem in the signal from my galaxy s3 i9300

emei is the same as the features in the label and the same emei system.

I already put a rom

I reset

tested various microchips gsm carrier.

I can not call or receive calls ... but the data works ok!!

3g internet ok ...

but it is just only call emergency ...

I need help.

sorry my english.

or has anyone ever had this problem? already read in various forums several people with the same problem.

yesterday my cephone worked for a few hours and came back again is only emergency call .....

If you have the I9300, then you should be asking for help in that section instead of the T999 section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tigerknight:
I tried CM a while back (WAY back, actually - pre-ICS) for the i717. It wasn't bad but after a while I went back to stock because for me it just 'felt' better. Hard to explain it other than that. In any case, I've been on full stock ever since and was happy with it.

Then Official JB comes out from the carrier and my phone is laggy as all hell and it's gotten to the point of royally pissing me off to the point that I'm considering my options.

My question is this: Do we know the cause of the lag? If so, is it fixable via custom kernel or something similar, or do I need to go to a whole separate ROM to get away from the problem (and are there any in particular that are recommended if that is the case)?

Have you done a factory data reset since the upgrade? That seems to clear up a lot of issues too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tigerknight:
I don't recall, but if I had to venture a guess I'd say probably not. I followed the above thread to the 'slow 4.1.2' and disabled everything I could on that list and did a restart, not sure which one did the trick but now it's nice and speedy.Hoping it stays this quick and isn't just a factor of not a lot built up in memory yet. I'll try a factory reset if it bogs down again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
there could also be some existing apps that continue to run in the background.

you might either go into app manager and force close them and clear their cache individually

OR

maybe reboot phone every day or two. clearing any cache build up. kind of a preventative maintinence thing.

if you ventured new ROM, may I suggest Padawawn.

every phone is a bit different, but I have had the best results ever
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shayneflashindaily:

i prefer stock as well and was also experiencing lag until i found the right setup for myphone. started out by debloating. then flashed phasekernel_jb.3 and use setcpu or whatever tuner app you prefer and set governor = fantasy/scheduler = sio/min = 384/max = 1728. all phones are different so you may need to try different settings to find what works for yours. i have not had any lag since.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] geebee1932:
Here is what worked for me. I had the same issue as you and posted it a while back. This also greatly increased my battery life. I suggest that if you are rooted go ahead and wipe the device - in fact do it twice! You will have to reinstall of you your apps but it got rid of all the lag and almost doubled my battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
When you said "wipe", did you mean factory reset or TWRP wipe?

If TWRP, which one you wipe? I tried checking all selection and it wiped even the OS!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] briand.mooreg:
You wipe the caches. If you wipe system, it will delete the OS and the data wipe will wipe your data of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
OK.

I am ready to do the factory reset twice. My Note is rooted and have SuperSU. If I factory reset, wouldn't it remove SuperSU also but NOT TWRP?

If yes, can I just install the SuperSU zip from TWRP? No need to re-root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] briand.mooreg:
You will have full root. I always wipe both caches, system and data when flashing a new ROM, its actually the preferred way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lanwarrior:
Wait, I already have stock AT&T JB and rooted. I just want to fix the lag and not installing a new ROM. Do I really need to wipe system and data? Wouldn't that wipe the whole OS?

I did the factory reset and want to wipe both caches... errr.. what's the button combination to boot to TWRP? I use "Quick Boot" before..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] briand.mooreg:
It can be done by pressing at the same time Volume up and Power buttons until the display lights up, which is when you have to release Power button, while at the same time you should keep pressing the Volume Up button.

If you wish to keep your current ROM DON'T wipe system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] geebee1932:
Just the normal wipe -the first one on the selection menu.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] rscott:
Hi folks,

I'm considering switching from the PDA2K to the JAM - has anybody else done this ?? If so, what are your impressions?

I've been a user of the XDAII for 18 months now and switched to the PDA2K in November. Even though the new model has a keyboard/Wi-Fi etc.. I find the device unreliable and awkward to work with.

cheers

Russ
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] palmsolo:
rscott,

I am in almost exactly the same situation as you. I used a XDA II for about 10 months and then switched to the PDA2K. I really do like it, but I think the processor should have been upgraded to the latest generation even if the speed wasn't boosted up. Mine pauses quite a bit between switching apps, but it has been quite reliable.

I am actually evaluating an imate JAM right now for Geek.com and am really loving the size and speed of the device. WiFi isn't that important to me because I have other devices with it and can always add it with a card if I need it. I only use WiFi at home so it is more of a convenience. I think I would miss the memory capacity, but Pocket PC Techs does offer a 128MB upgrade so that is an alternative.

I do use the thumb keyboard for much of my text entry though and think I would miss that functionality. I may just hold out for the MDA IV with faster processor and improved camera that will undoubtedly be coming sometime this year and maybe with the Windows Mobile 2005 (Magneto) operating system.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] r scott:
Yes, I find my PDA2K seems very slow at times. Switching applications the screen redraw reminds me of the early WinCE devices. Considering this machine is practically the same spec as my XDAII I would've thought there would be little difference in performance.

My unit also seems unresponsive and sometimes just seems to sit there 'thinking' after I have done something. Quite often I give up waiting and perform a soft-reset.

When I first saw the PDA2K it was the keyboard that made me part with my cash. However, I find that I rarely use it. Maybe I have become so used to using the on-screen keyboard I forget to use it.

As for Wi-Fi, the only place I can use it is at home. Maybe it is a feature I'll use more in the future but for now I don't really use it as much as I thought I would.

It is for these reasons why I am considering the Jam. I think I can live without the keyboard and Wi-Fi, but will gain a device that is much smaller and can fit in a pocket.

So, I am very interested to hear the results of your evaluation!

cheers

Russ.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] pschoch:
To solve your speed problems...

How about using XCPUScalar? I'm using it, overclocking my XDAII with 530mhz. Everything is nice and smooth.

I also upgraded my XDAII to WindowsSE, so except the form factor, I don't see any advantages in the JAM at this moment. I would run out of space on the JAM, so I will be sticking with my good old new XDAII.

I will be evaluating the scene and the new models to come out...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] rscott:
Well, I finally gave in and bought a Jam from Expansys which should be here tomorrow :-)

The missus works from home and sends/receives a lot of email. At the moment she is trialling my old XDA II to see if that would help her keep up to date when out of the 'office'. So now she can have the PDA2K as the keyboard will be great for all the typing etc..

I'll have the Jam, and 'borrow' then PDA2K when I need a fix of that ;-)

Just got to get rid of the XDAII now.

cheers

My PDA2K definitely experiences slowdown, and this is with no other software installed !

The only thing I have done is upgrade to the latest official ROM. So there must be something inherent in the device that is causing this.

I have been using my XDAIIs for about one month. I find that its performance is similar to XDAII (upgraded to 2nd Edition) as anticipated.

However, (this is only my personal experience), I do not install much software in my device by only chinese platform software, handmenu, tweak 2.41, batterymon (a battery indicator on the tray bar) and pocket informant leaving about 93mb on my main memory. Other software such as pocket genius dictionary and games are installed in storage card. I do not use any other software for today plug in too.

I am using Pocket Hack Master 3.04 lowering to 298MHZ with 133 and 133 memory speed.

I also do not adjust the memory allocation between program and storage (let the device to decide - usually half and half)

The result is that my XDAIIs is very stable, sceen run speedy (even faster than 400MHZ without PHM 3.04.....

In the past, I adjust PHM to 472, 199 and 236 (max speed I think), it is fast too but not as good as those mentioned above in terms of stability and battery life, also always hangs too....

I also noted that every device needs time to learn (After soft reset), so try to open those application and close it (I meant actually close, not just click X), it seems the device will memorise it... I noted that after doing this exercise, the total memory available will drop to about 81-88Mb....At this state, this is the most stable state of my device....
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] italos:
Hi guys,

I used PDA2K for 2 months, but then I decided to buy JAM as soon has been available.

The form factor is absoultely prevalent (it was not so evident from the photo on web) !! I use it everyday on work, and it stays in my pocket like a phone; completely different.

I used rarely the keyboard on PDA2K, so I didn't suffer for this; same for Wi-FI.

I think JAM is the real convergent device.

The only "minus" is the sensibility of the touch screen (on Jam is less sensible, so it is more difficult to tap with finger).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Pc78:
Hai ragione italos :wink: U R rigtht...the touch screen should be a little bit more sensitiv...I have got a SE P900 before and it was much more sensitive than on the JAM. How about the LED indicator?...I have noticeted when I have a new SMS in "sleep mode" it is always green and not yellow (red) as it should be!...

regards,

Primoz
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] udibd:
no doubt that anybody who holds the PDA2K and the Jam (or XDA2 mini - as i have) will go for the jam. I can tell you that in my last company event event where I had my mini - 3 PDA2K deceided to replace + I already bought two units to new users.

the PDA2k is simply too big and slow - wifi? most of us I guess are XDA2 owners (as I am) so we have the wifi card and if not then 70US and you ahve it.

Furthermore the camera is much better and the form factor? well it's already been said....

One important thing that I 've noticed is teh battery life - much longer than the XDA2 - I guess because of teh small screen.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] leochan2005:
I heard that apart from the size of sceen saves some power for the mini, smaller memory size of mini does contribute to its longer operations time.

Hello members

First i'm really sorry for my poor english i'm french and it'is knowned that we are not....ok btw

I'm posting here our issue that we've encountered for some french customers on the Sony Xperia Z regarding the screen.

Some users have their screens broken without any shock or fall.This fails appears after they power on the screen or during uses and it's my case I 've seen the screen in live cracked after i unlock the screen !

The screen which has been broken is the underscreen ( not sure how it is called) The protective screen in on place. Any scratch or shock can be found on the phone. The numbers of case is growing but still no reaction from Sony France atm.

You're not the only one. I am researching this myself because I just had to recycle my phone after 4 weeks because it cracked for no apparent reason. I am seeing a lot of threads from equally confused Xperia Z owners. It is definitely a design flaw, but I seriously doubt Sony will ever admit to it - let alone do anything about it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDroid8:
I think this caused by air pressure changes inside and outside the phone - if outside air pressure drops then air is forced out of the phone and it cracks the glass. For your benefit: Je pense que cela a causé par les changements de pression d'air à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur le téléphone - si la pression de l'air extérieur descend puis l'air est expulsé du téléphone et elle craque le verre.

Hi,

The phone is now on th market 3/4 months, I assume the screen can't endure more flexion or twist....As far as i know, problem is growing but Sony still ignore the flaw. It's hard to prove our sincerity to Sony atm.

I just came out from a center service ( french service) where the technician told me that he has saw many of same issues with the screen and he believe me...but Sony will never admit it ! What a shame !

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Huball, yours is very atypical, but this is a known and acknowledged issue.

If there is no other sign of dropping or excessive pressure you can send your phone in for warranty repairs through the regular channels (= the place where you bought it). Authorized service centers should have been informed about the issue quite a few weeks ago, and if your cracks fit the profile you'll get a new display or a new phone, covered by your warranty.

I can't guarantee anything but I've seen quite a few ones that got repaired in The Netherlands.
