[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nadimg:
At one point I used to carry an iPAQ 3870, a mobile phone and a collapsible keyboard. With my suit on, some people thought I was a bodyguard due to my swollen breast pockets. I also also had a Navigator 3000 GPS sleeve and the WiFi CF card.

The iPAQ made me love the Pocket PC. However carrying two or more devices was cumbersome.

I then discovered the Blackberry. Look mum, no wires. Over the air synchronization using the GPRS network was great. The keyboard is also excellent. No GPS and a lack of good application was a minus. Furthermore any interesting application would be pricey.

… but I still missed the Pocket PC.

Then came the Blackberry Connect embedded in the Blue Angel. That is the best of both worlds. My dream was to have a Pocket PC with push email and WiFi with an embedded keyboard.

The cherry on the cake came with Skype. I use desktop Skype a lot and I love it. As I am an international self-employed consultant, my cellphone bills amount to at least £300.00 ($550.00) a month. Skype on the BA will save me money but I need to find a good noise cancellation headset. So what if the sound quality is not that good, my customers would expect that from a roaming mobile phone anyway.

As for the camera, at its current resolution it is a gimmick. I would rather have a lighter BA with no camera. My 5.1 Mega Pixel camera will have to stay.

I agree with everyone that says the keyboard has a bad build. The MDA III and the XDA IIs I have seen at the T-Mobile and O2 shops had the keyboard sliding out on its own as soon as I picked up the device. I had already arrived to the conclusion that the keyboard will break down even before reading this thread.

I know that I will miss the stability of the Blackberry software but the advantages I get from the BA far outweigh the disadvantages.

I don’t thing anyone of us on this board will ever find a device that is perfect in every aspect. This is technology.

I will be moving from the Blackberry to the BA XDA IIs this weekend and I am sure that most if not all on this board will encourage me.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] studdocs:
i agree with you

hey,

i agree with you fully... no technology can be perfect... but still XDA IIs is the best bet!

just a doubt: how did u manage to get a BA with blackberry connect? any software for that available for asian users too?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] nadimg:
Re: i agree with you

The T-Mobile MDA III supports Blackberry Connects. The XDA IIs should support it soon. I will be using the XDA IIs but I am hopping to use the MDA III software.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] studdocs:
hoping 4 the best!

i am just hoping that XDA IIs supports it soon!

the earlier the better!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Rayan:
You have two choices...

1. Purchase an old used XDAII and upgrade it to WM5.0. Very stable and flawless communications and Bluetooth.

2. Wait for the new WM5.0 devices this summer.

:)

(my 2 cents)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mikealder:
I fully agree with the love/ hate, as per others - I to have experianced neumerous resets, lock ups no sound etc. after two weeks I returned it to the shop and swapped my XDAIIs for another one (it was clearly faulty) - loaded it up with exactly the same applications as the previous one and since then I have only experianced the no sound issue twice in the last month, my unit runs on the "stock" O2 firmware loaded in using Corporate mode. I love the flexibility of the device and my ipaq-4700 is now rarley used as the XDA does everything I need of it with the addition of the phone functionality - great idea and concept, but I still feel it is nowhere near the level of maturity that it should be - Mike
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Elite:
Hi guys,

could you guys tell me where can I download for the latest firmware for my O2 XDA IIs that are going around currently? and is it true that updating firmware will results data losts ? thank you
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mikealder:
A hard reset will allways result in data loss, but if you back it all up onto the SD card you should be able to return the unit to the same condition - note I say "should" its probably wise to re-install the lot from scratch to gain the true performance, as yet I have not tried the 1.140 ROM but I am tempted - you don't state whice service provider you are with - try their web site for a download to see if you are upto date - my philosopy is that the service provider should provide a functional device, in pratice the HTC unit is a bit hit and miss - but if you load up anything other than official firmware then taking it back and complaining is out of the window - I am on my second handset from O2 and this apears to work OK - at least it does for the demands I make of it, this includes running bespoke "home" created software scripted using Labview and it performs quite well - mike
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Elite:
I'm sorry I didnt put m service provider, since I'm a newbie I didnt know if that's neccesary , I'm surrently using T-mobile USA in columbus, OH and I dont think that T-mobile USA has this phone so I dont think I will be able to download from their website, I bought this phone from ebay. so how or where can find the appropriate firmware that is uptodate for my phone, thank you.

1 year update (from thread initiater)

After continuing to struggle with the issues outlined in the opening thread I do have encouraging news after about 1 year now with my PDA2k. I was so frustrated by the problems above I upgraded to ROM 1.40.00 WWE and ditched my mugen large capacity battery. I installed almost no 3rd party apps. Almost all of my problems went away! The battery was replaced a total of three times and finally I am having no problems with my battery. I have slowly added only essential software and my stability is still great, no unintentional soft nor hard resets. Things are almost so stable I do not need Sprite (can you believe it?). The bluetooth is currently my largest headache as attempting to bring up the BT Manager almost always fails completely with no warning and the only way to get it to work again is a soft reset, flight mode on/off does not work (will repost on this to see if anyone has a fix...)

In conclusion. Lots of 3rd party apps and a faulty extra capacity battery can make life with your PDA2k hell. Hope this helps some of you in a similar position.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hwhitewolf:
Hello,

On the last few days I've been facing a problem that I couldn't solve alone. As I understand, there are two different android 4.3 versions, JSS15J and JWR66V, if I understood right. I don't know what is the actual difference between them. I had the google factory image of 4.3 on my nexus 4 (that eventually I learned it's JWR66V) e flashed (through TWRP) the franco kernel (also JWR66V), but my data got almost completely lost. Then I flashed (through TWRP) the stock kernel (JWR66V), which I found here, and the problem continued. Than I flashed (also through TWRP) the AOSP kernel, which I found on that same thread, and the data problem was solved but the screen transition effect had little hickups.

After all that I didn't understand what happened and what I did wrong, could someone explain to me that diffence and what I should've done instead? It would be very apreciatted.

Thank you

the white icon is NFC

No its not....it's HTC power saver icon. Hence the green leaf. Turn off power saver more and it goes away.

Think he meant the big white icon. The one with the N is the Nfc icon you can shut it off in the settings and it goes away. The leaf howevor is the power saver icon. Turn that off, and you're golden.

I recently uploaded my PC epub folder to google play and I can view them on my nexus 7. I searched the forum and have not been able to find where these files are located. How can I remove multiple epubs?

Or sync my personal folder with google play books. If I add the folder again it will just make all my books duplicates.

I have downloaded Aldiko and I see I can upload my books directly to the Nexus ebooks folder but wanted to know if google books had a feature similar to this.

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] injola:
Tried ROM Manager backup of factory ROM.

Now, I power on and get CWM recovery. Choosing reboot always returns me

to CWM recov. I read every thread in this forum that refers to

loop, brick, etc. I have various backups, but I don't know what they

are worth, best way to use them. How to get out of the boot loop?

Best outcome would be to recover my last stable state. Factory reset

would be ok. Hardbrick would be a drag.

* Bought factory unlocked G-ST6500D (no vendor) in Spain.

* Have current non-root backups of contacts, sms, media, calendar, etc. on

laptop.

* Installed CWM v5.0.2.8 with Odin (three yellow boxes appeared in odin,

FWIW), and rooted. Froze bloatware listed by some people as safe, but

did not delete any factory installed software.

* Wanted to have a stock ROM backup before I did anything else. It's

not clear to me whether it is best/possible to download one or create

an image from my device. Started reading/trying backup apps, but I

don't really know what each one does.

* Did a full backup, apps + data, to extSD, and copy to laptop with Titanium

backup (free). This wrote >1000 files.

* Did most complete (as best I could tell) backup to extSD and laptop

with Online Nandroid app. This wrote boot.img, cache.ext4.tar,

data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, system.ext4.tar. Can these

be used to restore ?

* Tried to backup the ROM with ROM Manager app, but could not find an

option to backup to ext SD, only int SD. There was only 200MB free, so

I knew this would fail. I choose this anyway, hoping it would realize

there is not enough space and offer to change the path. The phone

rebooted into CWM and began a backup. After a few minutes, it printed

an error message and told me where a log was written, and rebooted

into CWM recovery. I tried rebooting, holding buttons, removing

battery, etc. Always returns to CWM recovery. Tried the 'backup and

restore' menu hoping it would give info on the backup. Instead, it

immediately started another backup, this time showing 1GB intSD

free. This backup reported success, then reboot into CWM recov.

* Since then, from CWM, I did 'wipe cache partition' and 'wipe davlik

cache'. Did not yet try factory reset.

* Show log ends with

"skipping exectuion of extendedcommand, file not found"

I read that sometimes it is possible to exit a boot loop without

flashing anything. If that is not possible, I guess I should do

factory reset. If that does not work, then I guess I should try

restoring something somehow: Use CWM recovery to recover nandroid

backup from extSD? Or install something via Odin ? For any solutions,

I am more comfortable doing things from linux than MSWin, but I think

that is not possible. Do I have to race to solve this before the

battery runs out?

Thank you for reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] midzan21:
just install cwm 6.0.3.3 b2 from TheWhisps goo.im account and then should everything work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] injola:
Thanks. I just figured that out after a several hours of reading. Finally saw stories on the thread

introducing CWM 6.0.3.3 of people who never flashed a ROM and still had boot loops.

I was on the wrong track because I assumed it was the filled up int. SD causing the

problem. I still have to fix that, but my phone is running. It would be nice if ROM Manager or CWM calculated the space

needed and refused to start if insufficient. But, I understand that there are few good devs and much to do.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Chahk:
[UPDATE 8/27/2013:] GS4 GPe (I9505G/jgedlte) is now officially supported by the ClockworkMod team as of version 6.0.3.6. You can use the I9505/jfltexx recovery on both International and Google Play edition variants.

Download at the official page here, scroll down to "Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505)". Both regular and touch versions are available.

Flash it via Heimdall:

Download the latest version of Heimdall from here and extract the ZIP to a folder on your hard drive (e.g. C:\Heimdall\ )

Download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 redistributables package from here. These are required to have Heimdall work properly.

Download the latest recovery .IMG file for the I9505 from here and save it to the Heimdall folder.

Shut down your phone. This is important! Do not simply "Reboot to Bootloader" from a ROM or via ADB; the phone needs to boot to Download mode from the "off" state. Disconnect the phone from USB, and turn it on by holding Home + Volume Down + Power buttons together. This will start the phone in the Download mode. Connect the phone to your computer via USB.

Run zadig.exe included in the "Drivers" subdirectory of Heimdall installation. From the menu chose Options -> List All Devices. From the USB Device list chose "Samsung USB Composite Device", or "MSM..." - basically the SGS4. Press "Install Driver", click "Yes" to the prompt and if you receive a message about being unable to verify the publisher of the driver click "Install this driver software anyway". Your phone should now be recognized by Heimdall.

Open Windows Command Prompt and navigate to the directory where you extracted Heimdall. Now type in the following command:

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery_file_name_here.img --no-reboot

and press Enter. This will flash the recovery. Disconnect the USB cable, and hold the Power button until the phone vibrates. Now hold Home + Volume Up + Power to boot into ClockworkMod recovery.

Known issue: On CM 10.2 and 11 ROMs sometimes while rebooting, the phone gets stuck on the Google logo for a long time. This seems to be a race condition (likely culprit is recently merged SELinux, but not confirmed.) Sometimes it clears up on its own after waiting for several minutes, but usually a reboot via battery pull (or holding Power for 10 seconds) clears is right up. Alternatively, removing and immediately re-inserting the SD Card will work as well.

[Insert generic CYA here.]

Flash and use at your own risk.

All thanks go to ClockworkMod team and @gweedo767 in particular.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] ChaoticUnreality:
Okay fairly new to the Rom scene but what is the difference between TWRP and ClockworkMod? I know that TWRP is touch based is that the only difference? I know in one of the CM10.2 threads they keep telling people to use CWM recovery and not the other ones.

Sorry for the stupid question but I am curious.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] Chahk:
Just like custom ROMs, custom recovery images are just different ways to do the same thing. One is not necessarily better than the other, it's just pure personal preference. Other threads are urging people to use official recoveries, as opposed to those modified and built by random forum members. It doesn't necessarily mean CWM only, it just means the official versions will have a better chance of being more stable and having less issues.

FYI, there are touch-enabled versions of CWM also: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

CWM and TWRP both work well. One feature I like that TWRP has that CWM does not is the ability to queue multiple zips for flashing all at once. On the flip side being able to use hardware buttons to navigate in CWM is handy on the rare occasion when the touchscreen is on the fritz.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] highvista:
I booted from this version of CWM via fastboot with the command

fastboot boot beta-recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.5-jgedlte.img

and successfully completed a back-up to internal flash, though I haven't tried restoring from the back-up. I then rebooted the phone, choosing not to have CWM overwrite anything on the phone, in order to keep stock recovery in place.

The only odd thing I've noticed is that the back-up file dates are set to January 6, 1970, with the back-up directory being named

1970-01-06.14.02.54

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] highvista:
Thanks for the feedback. I've got it working, as well. I was trying to avoid using Heimdall to flash the recovery to my phone and was doing a fastboot into recovery instead. It looks like you can't backup to external using that process. I used Heimdall to do the flash and now the backup to external works.
