[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jerrah:
So i remembered i had my Gf's galaxy s3 protectors i had gotten like 5 of them and said to my self, hmmmm i bet these will still work well with my GS4 so i did some dry tests before putting it on and did some lining up.. and well fits good i dont have a camera other then the one on my phone but if you use a galaxy s3 screen protector they have the same cut outs so i just lined them up and it fits nice, covers the full screen and it cuts off right near the middle of the home button. this is just an FYI if anyone has any laying around. I think the only thing not really covered is like a super duper small part on the bottom of the corner of the screen so small it wouldnt matter:good:
[Micromax A110] adwaitk007:
Hello Guys,

I am in a confusion about Canvas series. I am currently using Samsung s5830 and now need to upgrade. I bought it @ 15000 and within 2 years its price slashed to almost half. So I have decided not to spend money on "brands". I really loved the way Micromax is coming out in market. Also aware of Canvas 4 but not interested to buy a "new" product. I will prefer an old models as we can get plenty of user reviews.

Now I am confused on these 2 models.

Canvas 2 plus and Canvas HD

I read some nice reviews as well as some really pathetic experiences people got with these handsets. I am a ROM developers so surely I won't run it on stock for more than few weeks. So I need your opinion on these two.

Price is not an issue, I need quality. Though HD had a nice resolution I heard it's having problems with camera quality and Audio quality. So just want your opinion to decide which one of these should I buy.

All your suggestions, reviews are welcome.

Regards,

Adwait
[Micromax A110] khan_frd2002:
You should go with canvas HD.... as you are rom developer if you got any problem like you mention you can fix it but i don't think it has any problem

and the build quality of canvas HD is better than canvas 2 plus
[Micromax A110] Matthew_Farrell:
Go with canvas HD.
[Micromax A110] Phoenix:
Wait for Canvas 4
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
To be honest both Canvas 2 HD & Canvas 2 plus are practically the same.... But Canvas HD has the upper hand in a few minor areas.. Would recommend Canvas HD.

[Nokia Lumia 800] minidisco:
I have a problem with a Lumia 800 - I think it's a deep discharge problem. The battery doesn't charge, but phone does get warm while charging. When I do a soft reset it vibrates - and a few seconds later vibrates a 2nd time (I guess to signal power off). There is no display at all. When I connect to a PC it sometimes reports a HID device - for a about 2-3 Seconds - then it's again dead.

Now my question: can I take out the battery and directly connect 3.8V to the phone? I have a powersupply and multimeter at hand at hand. My options are:

1. - Connect 3.8V with a lab-powersupply to the phone and install the latest software updates

2. - Find another phone with 3.8V Lithium cell and charge the battery with that charger. (I also got a IMAX B6 LiPo/Li-ion charger used for models )

Option 2 feels more comfortable. If a voltage pins slips off while installing the software I may brick the phone.

Any comments? Or any other method to get out of the deep discharge loop?
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverikdj:
Can you disassembly phone, remove battery from phone and charge it with external powersupply. I used this method because mine motherboard haven't connector microusb for charger battery and this method work.

My external usb charger is 5v @ 2 Ah. if you wont disassembly the phone, you can use a other powersupply with more Ah because nokia is 700-800mAh

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
It's the router that is not allowing the Nexus 7 to connect to Google's servers. So that's why the signal is gray.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] xcalibur:

Got my XDA IIs from GLOBE HUB in Glorietta last January 22, 2005.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hlim168:
Re: Globe

Wow! how was it? Does the bluetooth work already or still buggy?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] xcalibur:
sorry have not tried the bluetooth headset. it tried though sharing my PC internet connection thru Bluetooth dongle and it works ok. I am now connected thru WIFI (LINKSYS WRT54G) and again it works perfectly.

Really Nice: SKYPE AND MSN MESSENGER on this. AGILE Messenger BETA Version is little bit problematic.

I just hate the sliding keyboard. I had it repaired already at BRIGHTPOINT in Cubao. Very fragile and easily broken (around one week). Now, I dont use it for fear it might break again.

OVERALL, I STILL LIKE IT.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hlim168:
Everything good to hear except the keyboard problem :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hlim168:

SKYPE on XDA IIs

Is the SKYPE software pre-installed on your XDA IIs. Wish to know the configuration of the SKYPE software. I have a PDA-2K which is the version released here in Dubai.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] xcalibur:
Skype

Skype software didnt come pre-installed.

I downloaded it from www.skype.com.

One of the best communication software, I installed in this O2 XDA IIs.

Really works and voice quality is very good.

Got to call skype to skype free of charge.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hlim168:
Hi, how's your xda IIs doing?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] xcalibur:
still happy with IIs

I am still happy with my IIs despite the bad experiences of others.

It is fairly stable. Mostly instability I experienced is the result of third party freeware that I installed.

I installed a 256 MMC card bought from www.PCX.com.ph at Php1,650. Downloaded MP3 and some pictures of my family. I could play photo slideshows while running MediaPlayer at the background.

Just for curiosity, I tried playing shoutcast from this iis and surprisingly it works also using GS Player (a freeware). I have a DLINK MEDIA Player to do that for me though.

ROM is still stock as I don't want to touch it as it does not give me problems to date.

I updated again the BT to BT3900. Bluetooth works Ok but discovered distance is just around 2-3 feet using Nokia HDW2. Anyway, I find carrying and charging a separate Bluetooth headphones more of a nuisance than real utility.

my iis has the following programs now: skype, agile messenger, avantgo, battery monitor, psshutxp, chess and several other games. All of these programs are downloaded freewares.

I could check all my emails (including yahoo and gmail) thru GPRS when I am out of office or home. Once tried to call thru Skype while in Glorietta and it works well. Made several long distance calls Skype to Skype free of charge. I am sorry I have no idea about VPN, not that sophisticated user.

AgileMobile works fine also. I discovered that I need to properly shutdown it. It was my mistake to close the program using the RUNNING PROGRAMS of Windows. This resulted to AgileMobile not connecting afterwards.

The only functionality I would want to be added is fax program which I miss from my old 9210. I want it but enough enough to buy it (eg. TRUEFAX). Only if free, otherwise, I could live without it.

Again, I rarely open the slide keyboard for fear it might break again. Too much trouble going to Cubao just to have it repaired.

I have never experienced screen drifting.

Battery life is 5 to 6 hours with continuous WIFI usage. I once turned myself into a walking zombie after staring at the tiny screen that long. The WIFI meter does not seem reflective of actual reception because I could still make Skype calls eventhough bars show only 1 or 2 bars.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hlim168:
Re: still happy with IIs

Thats very good news. :)

I'm also a 9210 user. I regularly send sms to groups of people and I found that 9210 do this very well. Is there a way or software for xda IIs to assign groups to contacts and to handle failed sms? otherwise, have to add contacts one by one to the "send to" field and no way to identify the particular contact to resend after failed sms. :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] xcalibur:
text sending is a pain compared to 9210

For Filipinos who love texting, XDA might not be a good phone. I am still struggling to send text messages using this IIs whether thru its built in keyboard (I dread opening for fear it might break again), soft keyboard, transcriber or block recognizer. I miss the ease and convenience of sending text thru my old 9210. And the truth is sometimes I wish I got the 9500 because of this reason. It is no exagerration but your writing hand will ache after sending a couple of messages thru this IIs. Those who will argue have not used a Communicator.

In IIs, you can also mark the names of people you want to send the text message just like in the 9210. I don't think IIs recognizes failed text messages. You, however, could tick "REQUEST MESSAGE DELIVERY NOTIFICATION" just like in 9210.

Another important text messaging function which is lacking in IIs (in Windows Mobile) is the text sending "Schedule". In my 9210, at night when I am working, I many times prepare the instructions I will be sending out the next morning. However, I don't send it out immediately realizing other people have their own lives too. So I schedule the sending out of text messages. I know there is a freeware for Windows Mobile but it doesn't work yet.

And also, the best speaker phone I ever used is the 9210, I am sure the 9500 is even better. Great for telephone conferences/meetings. This is not so in IIs.

When the novelty of this IIs wears off completely and I have overcome my "love your own syndrome" , I know I will be getting a 9500. But as of now, I love my new toy - the IIs.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aprilian8:
I am unable to connect my Xperia S with external storage as I brought 3 different otg cables and all of them are not working, Please can anyone tell me where can I find OTG cable that surely works with Xperia S. I m from India
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Seemanthinis:
what external storage where you trying to connect? pendrive, harddisk or memorycard?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aprilian8:
HP pen drive FAT32 formatted
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Seemanthinis:
what capacity btw?

When you connect a pendrive, usually either of 2 things happen:

1.) shows that external storage is connected, details can be seen in settings>storage, external storage. file access needs to be done using a file manager app.

2.) shows, device power consumption error. meaning, ur pendrive consumes lot of power than the phone can provide. solution to this is to use a new pendrive or thru a externally powered usb hub.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aprilian8:
Its of 8GB. The phone doesnt show any sign of connected pen drive and even the external storage option in "storage" is greyed out
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] stealthita:
thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Seemanthinis:
hmm, I dont c wat is wrong, try another pendrive, prefarably of a different model or brand and of smaller capacity.

else it shud be a problem with the cable.

I had bought a general OTG cable from Ebay
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abhishekpadukone:
You can use "StickMount" app to mount USB storage , incase your phone is not detecting the USB device. The only issues is that the app needs a rooted device. so if your mobile is rooted then you are good to go.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aprilian8:
StickMount isnt helping either
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Seemanthinis:
try connecting a usb mouse and/or keyboard..

if it works, try a different pendrive, else then maybe u can blame the OTG cable or ur phone...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
I made my own OTG cable using an old regular micro cable that I no longer needed. I believe you need to "jump" pin four to pin five....but you would be best researching it. I recall it being extremely easy to do, but then again I do have years of experience ripping stuff apart and putting it back together.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Also, I don't think drive size is an issue as I've connected a 2TB full size external hard-drive (the kind with a power brick) and was able to use it just fine. It was NTFS formatted so I did have to use USB OTG Helper to get it working, but it did work with no problems.
