Anyone know of a utility which I could install on my M2K which will place a small icon at the bottom of the "Today" screen that will automatically flip the screen back and forth between Portrait and Landscape??

A work colleague who has the 02 version of the phone has just this utility - is it an 02 "special item"?

There are a number of today plug ins that help.

The best I have found which includes lots of other useful stuff is SPB Pocket Plus. Whilst it is commercial software it is well worth the asking price. You can download a trial version from Hangango or Pocketgear.com

Spb Pocket Plus

I recently installed the trial version of spb Pocket Plus and am suitably impressed. One small problem though. If I try and change the settings (options) I can't exit. I can still move around and go to different settings screens but can't go back with the OK button or exit settings. Have to exit with a soft reset and even then won't reboot beyond the background screen (Qtek 9090 logo) without a further soft reset or two. Any similar experiences or better still ideas to sort ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] cbrow51:
I have an O2 xda IIs and have the same screen freeze problems with Pocket Plus. Looking through the FAQ on the SPB web site, I came across a response that said in the XDAIIs there is a frreing problem that SPB put down to the way O2 implemented WM2003SE. Given that you are seeing the same problem on the Qtek 9090, leads me to believe that it may be an HTC/WM2003SE Phone Edition problem....

There is however another product that offers very similar functionality. Its Battery Pack Pro form Omega One and available at Handango. I have just sent Omega One a support question to see if they know of any issues with their software and the XDA IIs. If they say "no", I will uninstall Pocket Plus and try the trial of Battery Pack Pro to see if its more stable. Will post here with more info when I have it...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] Rick GM:
Since removing SPB Pocket Plus I've had a similar locking/no exit experience when playing around with backgrounds and wallpaper. Can't make it happen today though (not that I want it to !!!).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] Jiggy:
Battery Pack Pro

I haven't had the freezing problem yet on the MDA III.

However I had to move from Battery Pack Pro as when I installed it for some reason the calendar and contact button mapping went awry.

The issue was odd in that the buttons would work when you initially pushed them but you could not repeatedly press them to scroll through the different calendar/contact views. A feature which I use frequently.

My advice is to tread carefully and try it out carefully before buying. Good product though if it has no side effects.

Hey guys,

So for some time now I noticed that my google talk app was working intermittently. I thought it was a one day thing, but the problem persisted. It wasn't until by chance that I went to the google play store and searched for the new app, google hangouts, and selected "open" from the play store that it worked and signed me in without any problem. So I thought to download the app, when I did and tried to sign on, it always says, "couldn't sign in because we couldn't reach Google, try again" Has anyone else had this problem?

Also I am unlocked and rooted. In addition I read this thread from this forum:

Has anyone else experienced this issue on their rooted htc one and solved it?

Hello everyone,

Just to add to the ever growing list of niggles, I have an issue with one of my controllers, I've not tested the second but will do that later tonight.

Basically when pushing right on the analogue stick then letting go so that it centres itself, the controller is still sending out commands that you are pressing right and your character (or vehicle :P) continues to move to the right...

Pressing down on the analogue stick can also reproduce the symptom.

Just so you are aware incase you come across it. :D

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Low_Man:
So I got mine W8 beyond two days ago.

So far so good, but:

1. GPS problem. I am geocacher (more at: geocaching.com) and I need accurate GPS. When I stood still in the open for few minutes, I could see GPS jumping around for 400-900 meters for no reason. AGPS and EPO activated. We will see how it goes

2. I would love to get polish language settings, since there are some apps which fetch the content depending on Your language setting (I know that this is poor design, but this is how they works), so that would be nice. Not an issue anymore. I installed MoreLocale2 and pm'ed it which is more than enough at the moment.

3. I do not see option for sorting the apps in the main apps menu (it was working on my old Lenovo A750) - am I missing something?First 9 icons are fixed and alphabelical, the rest is just alphabetical. I can live with that.

4. I have my contacts stored with country prefix which is not used by my operator. I do not see my contacts data when they are calling me.

The SMSes are provided by operator with country prefix, so the problem is with calls only. I tried to follow this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2268120 but I am unable to decompile framework.jar - no classes.dex inside. I am not able to deodex framework.odex either, so I am stuck for the moment.GravityMod2 3.0 ROM fixed that problem.

The link provided with the tools and howto contains W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM.8P128_MT6589TV1.0.1_20130618-cwm6033.img,

when I go to phone info at my phone I can see W8_beyond.JB2.FHD.EN.COM8P128_MT6589TV1.0.2_20130626.

Seems like I have newer firmware. If anyone can tell me how to extract this, I would be more than happy to share.

GravityMod2 3.0 installed - not an issue anymore

For my good old Lenovo I was able to modify the ROM as soon as I got my hands on any ROM in zip format. I guess I could also try to compile something (I am a programmer), but since I am extremely low on time I would need MT6589T kernel patch (is it the same like mt6589) and some basic manual.

Anyone interested?

When connecting it to the computer it will install HTC drivers under Android Phone entry in device manager and also W8 Beyond under Portable Device.

I cannot root the phone using the msdos script or SP Flash tool. Also Snapea does not see the device. On the same computer I used a ZOPO C2 Platinum and Snapea found that instantly and I could rooted and also pushed a custom ROM.

Now... wish I could also root this THL to be able to back-up my stock ROM. No need for me to work with a custom, just need to be able to back-up the original ROM just to be safe.

Hello Zombie,

Yes, I have been reading my brains out today trying to fix the phone. I cannot get back into recovery mode. the V+ and power won't do anything. I have a stock ROM back-up using clockwork mode.

Everythings was working nice and smooth until I decided to reset to the factory setting to have a recovery image like that.

From that point I cannot get back into recovery.

I cannot make this phone work with ABD drivers. I have no idea how or what I am supposed to do. I can install then, they show ok in device manager but... it wont help. Snapea wont see the THL, MTKdroind won't see it. ABD does not communicate.

The only thing that worked was via SP Flash.

When playing with a ZOPO C2 Platinum, all these worked as a charm. So... honestly I am frustrated :(

I cannot post on C3C076 to tell him what I'm experiencing. It wont allow me since I am a beginner. He will probably do not answer my e-mail also.

Can someone help me at least to understand what have I done or to have a communication with the device up and running ?

Do the steps from the beggining.

Reroot your device with this:

droidchina.com/forum/Thread-ROOT-GUI-Root-Wizard-for-MTK65xx-phones

Then follow these steps:

Choose your recovery image from the first post:

Be careful of this.

By sdcard1 he means an external card. If you copy the image file in your phone, change the path to sdcard0 and change the name of the downloaded .img file to recovery.img:

if=/storage/sdcard0/recovery.img of=/dev/recovery

Why can't you post in his thread? I did my first post there.

I'm not a native english speaker but i understood what to do. If you can't follow the steps, tell me. It's important to lock the gps with YGPS outside. It won't lock inside and i don't know why. Maybe the gps chip isn't strong enough.
