I wouldn't say that stability is left to the user alone, my 2nd day with the IIs reaffirms me that Microsoft needs a competitor so it can deliver better product... While playing around, my IIs restarts itself when I click on the start button. Well, so much for the legendary Microsoft stability. This also happens when I try an earlier built rom IIs and II Mini (the restarting itself issue) but the final built rom seems more stable.

I work as an IT journalist, and before I bought the IIs I personally reviewed it and subjected the most horrific things people can do to an electronic device. One of the torture test I applied to the IIs is playing the slider like a yo-yo toy. While holding the screen portion I tuck the IIs down and it opens under its own weight. I even slid open and close the device indefinitely for 10 minutes (my colleague helps). It's a bit lefty loosy, but still manage to hold on none the less. What we have is the prototype from HTC, it's grey like the MDA III, but has O2 marking on the top left. Probably our test subject is the "reviewer edition" with extra strong build, but I have faith.

What I like more about the IIs is the 4 extra hard button. After seeing the rumoured Windows Mobile 2005 has function like the Smartphone edition (context sensitive button), a WM 2005 compatible option is good to have. That 4 extra button seems to correspond well to the WM2005 (but probably I'll be buying another PDA Phone when the new OS is available down the line).

Sorry for the long post... My occupation forces me to :oops:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Bassey:
The XDAIIs is a great little device. Like all "bleeding edge" technology, it suffers from the occasional hicup, though nothing that affects me in normal day to day useage and I've had mine for three months.

Build quality appears to be fine. I'm sure there are some dodgy units out there, but then, I'm sure the odd Rolls Royce comes off the production line with less than perfect build quality. If you do buy an XDAIIs and get one that doesn't seem quite right, take it back and swap it for another. It's very simple and far better for your blood pressure than allowing yourself to get all frustrated and annoyed and trying to put everyone else off getting one!

I use it as a PDA (for both work and personal use), as an MP3 player, as an eBook reader for novels, enclyclopeadia and dictionary, I watch the odd funny video clip I've downloaded off the internet, I use it for exchange rates, in-car GPS navigation, Bluetooth headset, spreadsheets, quite a lot of e-mail and I use it with my wifi connection at home and in airports, bars, hotels etc. Plus, I play the odd game on it, I have the weather forecast for several cities, I read the news on it and get regular stock market updates. I keep my wedding photo's on it and have quite a few photo's from my honeymoon (in Finland!) which I enjoy looking at in the odd sentimental moment. Oh, and I use it as a phone as well; though not often - I'm just not a "Mobile phone" kind of person. Which is another reason I love it. I can have a mobile phone with me all the time, without having to carry a mobile phone with me all the time - if that makes sense?

And with all that useage, I occasionaly get a message saying bluetooth couldn't start due to insufficient memory (probably once a week), so I reboot it (it is windows, after all!). I've noticed maybe three or four times that, when switching from landscape to portrait, the screen doesn't quite re-draw itself correctly, so I do it again, and it fixes itself.

And there are probably one or two other things that require me to reboot it, but they happen so infrequently, I really can't remember what they are.

But all in all, it's a cracking little device that does what it's meant to with little fuss. Treat it with respect and care (i.e. don't put dodgy cracked or warez software on it, don't fill up the memory so it has non left to work with, back up often just-in-case) and it'll serve you well.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hlim168:
Wow! xda IIs is not bad at all :) quite excited to have one soon, hope the soon to be released rom would make the device even better :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TubThumper:
What Bassey said....

..except for the stuff about his honeymoon in Finland.

Mines has been a bit glitchy but the positives far outway the negatives. The biggest complement I can give it is that I use it all the time intuituvely. Since its always to hand it always gets used.

Dont forget, forum users are far more inclined to moan about stuff than praise it, especially when the need a solution to something.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] hlim168:
yeah, thats true :) how about posting some positive experience about xda IIs, otherwise it will seem a horror movie just to use the device. :lol: I could just imagine owning a device with problems in all aspect.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yatlee:
IMO, if you are into tinkering firmware, beta testing, love using window 3.1(in terms of reboot couple times a day and re-install once very few weeks), etc., you can't go wrong with the IIs. Sorry, I am a bit negative with my IIs. :?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Bassey:
Yatlee, I don't mean to be rude or anything, but as there are people on here that are using their IIs quite heavily and without any problems then it would seem that you may have a dodgy unit. Have you tried to return it to where you got it for an exchange or refund?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] efjay:
Im happy with my XDA Iis. Ive had it since november and it is my main phone, with the original rom and bt patch 3500 i had no major problems. Soft resets were mainly due to 3rd party software and I only hard reset to remove software which would not uninstall properly. It has always been stable for me and the new rom has no ill effects so far. I use it for wifi browsing at home, (though ive had the unit lockup on me but this has reduced dramatically with a new router) and use bt with no problems with a Sony Ericsson HBH-200 headset and AVL bluetooth gps. Also no problems with the keyboard getting loose
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Fourgig:
I've had mine since the end of December.

The only thing that I dislike about the IIs is the damned BT. Quite frequently, approx 25% of the time, the other party can not hear me when I am using a BT headset. Then I'll have to turn off the BT headset and talk directly with the phone. A soft reset fixes things but only for a while.

No voice dialing is a pain too, but I guess I'll live with it. I've tried Vitotech Voicedialer but I didn't like it. Having to turn on the device, then run a program just to do voice dialing is lame. I might as well dial the number myself if I have to do so many button presses on the device.

Other things such as no profiles and no individual ringtones out of the box are mere annoyances. These are easily fixed with additional software.

My unit is fairly stable. I rarely have lockups but this could be because I ALWAYS soft reset it in the morning before I leave for work. I do this to make sure the BT will work on at least the 1st or 2nd call. :lol:

The keyboard is decent. I would prefer a more solid tactile feedback but it's good enough for occasional use. The slider is still tight on mine, but I use it maybe only once a day.

Phone reception is good. It's at least as good as my old SE68i. The wifi works well too. It's a good little device.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] yatlee:
My unit is in the repair center after encountering the misterious "I can't hear the other party and vice versa". I love IIs when it's working. Hard reset and reinstall allow the unit to work again, but only temporary. I avoid most of the third party software except for the much have one (such as voice command, my email client, etc.) Plenty of memory left (80+MB).

XDA support is quite disappointing. Maybe microsoft is the company to blame, but every problem they basically point the finger back to Microsoft. I can imagine may be few years down the road, they will get every right and solid (just like how long it takes microsoft to come up with window 2000/XP; some may aruge it's still not perfect).

I am seriously thinking about getting the mobile phone and PDA separate if my problem persist. I can go on, but I stop now. Sorry about the ranting.

What he said. It's infinitely easier than having to mess with modifying files and it also lets you map home+back and home+menu if you want.

Oh, and you can also change the double-click delay, so that if you just want to go home, it's slightly faster.

[HTC One S] chmarx:
Do I need a new mobile? A question that I often imagine in the last days... What's the situation?

Here are the base informations of my HTC One S:

Original CID:	O2___102

Actual CID:	11111111

Boootloader informations:

VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.13.0000

RADIO-1.11.50.05.28

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

The story

What happens. Because of the license mess with CyanogenMod I've tried different ROM's but all in all there where always a reason to change the ROM. After all I want to give Carbon a try but for this you have to upgrade the firmware and so the mess starts.

In fact o2 Germany is not able to deliver a proper RUU I've changed the CID to SuperCID (11111111) and tried to install the RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4. This and all my other installations of different RUU's breaks with a signature error. Next step was to change the CID to HTC__102 but this didn't help anything.

Now I was thinking to go back to the root and install the first custom ROM I've used. So I want to give ViperROM a try. With this it was not able to get the WiFi up and running. Next step was to give TrickDroid 10 and ZenROM a chance. There was no problem with the installation and both of them where running. The problems here are that both of them are far away from a daily driver.

Today I saw that there are again official CyanogenMod nightlies and so I've thought to install the base ROM of so many custom ROM's. This installation breaks with the error message: "failed : getprop("ro.bootloader") == 2.15.000" So It seems that the newest bootloader is a basic requirement. The problem is now that I'm unable to get the newest hboot because of the RUU signature problem.

I don't know what to do anymore. RUU update does not working. S-OFF does not working. The firmware upgrade is not working. Do I have to use the One S as a paperweight?

So .. I'm really grateful and happy about every hint, every tip or solution.

Thanks a lot

Christian
[HTC One S] MrThreeChains:
Why is S-OFF not working and why did you changed your CID back to stock? You have to get S-OFF and SuperCID so follow this guide. Report back at which step you fail
[HTC One S] chmarx:
Good morning,

sorry for my late response. I was so frustrated that I went off yesterday evening.

I've tried different things with the CID:

changed the O2___102 to 11111111

changed the 11111111 to HTC__102

rollback to 11111111

The reason was that I had found the RUU instructions which stated that there could be potential problems with RUU installations and SuperCID.

Based on this thread the S-Off always stops at step 5. I get an error message that says: "FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)". I've already tried the different things. Switch off the phone, switch off the computer, useing the original HTC USB cable and so on. Nothing worked here.

Thanks a lot

Christian
[HTC One S] djsubtronic:
Try updating the HTC drivers on your PC then try again. There's a thread somewhere around the One S forums.
[HTC One S] real187:
After the soff, supercid is not needed anymore.

Have you tried o2 ruus from a different country?

Btw is the ruu erroring because of your MID? Whats yours? Pj4010000?

Sometimes if a ruu errors, directly retrying sometimes works.

Verstuurd van mijn HTC One S met Tapatalk
[HTC One S] chmarx:
YES! :) It's again up and running

After some days of troubleshooting my One S ist up and running again :)

First was the tip of djsubtronic. I've checked the drivers on my PC. But I've already installed the latest one. Then I've made a clean, fresh new installation on my notebook. But nothing changed.

Then I've tried some other RUU's. But there where always the same error. So... after all I was already looking for a new mobile device and then I've made ​​a final attempt.

Cleaned storage from bootloader

Reset from bootloader

Installed TWRP recovery (2.5.0.0)

Format the sdcard from Windows

Nothing left on the sdcard

System reset from TWRP

System wipe from TWRP

Followed step by step and extreme exactly the instructions of the firmware update thread

The second try to manual update the hboot then was succsessful

After that I was able to install the latest CyanogenMod nightly

Thanks a lot for every tip. They took me to re-read everything again and then start again from scratch. After all I'm already S-On. :o I'm happy that my phone is running again, I just do not quite trust myself to tackle the topic...;):eek:;)

Thanks again...

[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Nice to hear you have your phone up and running again.

I want to ask something.

I too, don't have JB RUU for my carrier of the device.

So will S-off and subsequently changing CID to something which has an RUU help? Will that RUU work?

My basic purpose is to go fully stock.
[HTC One S] chmarx:
Hi, if I understand this correct than yes. If you change the CID to a "non branded" CID. (SuperCID - 111111 or HTC - HTC__102) you should be able to install other RUU's for your device. I don't know why this didn't work for me but for normal this should work.

Christian
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
From what i have read and understood, yours must be a problem of MID. This is another requirement in addition to CID.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emgluon:
the perfectionist inside me want to get 100% deep sleep while the screen is off. So far using using BetterBatterStat, Greenify and various system setting i've got to 99% deep sleep 10 hours over night.

Just wondering if its possible to get to 100% deep sleep, although to be honest 99% is good enough as the battery usage is only about 1% per 10 hours
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahyoh:
no :D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluur:
By turning ur phone off u have 100% deep sleep ;) :banghead:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iCurmudgeon:
Sure it's possible -- just turn the thing off. But you can see the problems. And even with just 99% I have a feeling you're going to have problems when a phone call comes in. I've played around with deep sleep, gotten nowhere near 99% (probably just in the high 70s) and missed incoming calls and SMSes due to overzealous greenifying. Of course, if you never use your phone for actual calls and text messages, that might not matter to you -- in which case the power button is your friend.

mudge
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Sure with aosp rom I come close to 99 percent but battery life is still crap.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahkiongkc:
Interesting! I played around with mine and the most i can get is 95% deep sleep. I believe 99% will put ur phone to almost dead!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emgluon:
It was a exercise to reduce background operations. The 99% was overnight with only the alarm on, ofc not achiveable during the day when using it. The various things such google location sync email sync and etc off. The phone and sms operations are ok, as greenify dont allow for suspension of system apps, although I hoped it would.

The good thing is 1% per 10 hour it would have a standby time of 1000 hours.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bretula:
I'm in a real bind and this looks like it may be my only way out. (My HTC One Google Edition is bootlooping and I have no adb connectivity after applying the 4.3 OTA update, even with caches cleared and a factory reset. All I have left is fastboot!)

So... How do I apply it then? :confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] bretula:
FWIW, I realized later this is not a factory image, but changes to GPL'd source code involved in the creation of the factory image. The thread's title and the initial post is a bit misleading that way.

In case this helps someone else: The reason I lost adb was that I'd installed the drivers on my mac for EasyTether. There's a note about this on the EasyTether FAQ page. When I disabled the EasyTether driver, I was able to use adb again.

S-off dna. Loaded hatka supreme last week. Started getting dropped calls and SIM card issues. Never had problems before switching roms. Also signal reception is weaker than before, at least 10db higher than my blackberry. I flashed the latest radio files only on stock before I flashed the Rom. I pulled the SIM card and reinserted. Now I get the SIM card icon and no service at least once a day. Any help world be appreciated.
[HTC Droid DNA] Warrenx:
I've heard of people having this issue with SIM cards. Best advice I can give is to get the stock (2.04?) Radio. Then factory reset, format system, dalvik etc., re-flash stock radio, then proceed to reinstall Hatka.

[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
It had nothing to do with the rom.

The 2.06 radio helps some, but some dnas are plagued with sim card error issues.

I've heard cleaning off the contacts helps, and putting tape on the back of the sim card too.
[HTC Droid DNA] goinflyn:
I'm on the newest radio and I never had any SIM card issues until I installed the Rom. I have dirty flashed the Rom a few times to change the install settings through aroma. Could that be an issue? If so, how would I do a fresh install? Thanks for all your help
[HTC Droid DNA] goinflyn:
I cleared both the dalvik and cache and did a full wipe. Then reinstalled the Rom. So far so good. Thanks guys. Btw the signal meter is not as accurate. I'm on a femtocell at home and I only have 2 to 3bars of service. But the signal meter is -80db.
