[Xperia Tablet Z General] GretaLewd:
Have to agree about it being dead around here. There was some activity at first when there a was a prize on offer...but since then, dead :(

I must admit I knew that if I wanted loads of development I should have bought the Nexus 10. Buying the SXTZ came with the risk of little or no development...and that risk has turned into reality.

On the other hand, the stock ROM is pretty good and at the moment going to a custom ROM means you'll lose more useful features than you gain.

All I really want on top of stock is Nova launcher and PIE/LTA so I can lose all the navigation/notification/status bars. That's why I've gone to PAC.

But I've lost my warranty, GPS, DRM keys, HDMI out, being able to charge with tablet off:eek:, and a few other things.

I sometimes wish I'd bought the Nexus 10...but I'm telling myself I've got to kick the ROM-flashing habit.

Oh well, at least I've got my Nexus 4 to keep me occupied :rolleyes:
[Xperia Tablet Z General] Anicane:
Well, i know Sony products are not so popular among the developers, but than again this one in my opinion is among the best tablets, so it should have been better. Oh well maybe it is due to something like price, or something else.
[Xperia Tablet Z General] X3remes:
Don't look now, but TechRadar seems to share the same views as us. They also gave the SXTZ top honors as 2013's tablet: http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/tablets/10-best-tablet-pcs-in-the-world-today-1079603 :D
[Xperia Tablet Z General] shangrila500:
I just don't comprehend why Sony products are favored by developers.... Sony offers so very much better support than other OEMs, like Samsung and HTC, and send updates ,such faster than other OEMs as well. It seems like Sony would/should be a developer favorite, the only thing I can think of is that no major Sony flagship smartphones are carried by the major US carriers, AT&T and T-Mobile have carried 1 or 2 but Verizon hasn't had one since the Play, but there should still be more development.

The price tag is another thing hindering development but not much, the other tablets I was looking at before I purchased the XTZ offered much less for the same amount or more, really the price is not too bad when you think about it. The LTE model is overpriced, $900 in the US when I bout my WiFi model, but I would guess the reason for that would be to deter people from buying it off contract. If money is the issue there have still been major amounts of development on phones and tablets with the same, or higher, price tag, I paid less for my XTZ than my Note 2 or any other phone I've bought in the past few years, so there has to be something I am missing.

Hey guys, i hope this wasent posted before at least if then i am to stupid to find it.

I broke the screen of my s3 and a guy in a handyshop repaired it for everything fine except my software ( Omega rom idk the version ;( ) always got into safemode. At Home i wanted to fix it myself and got in recovery mode and instaled the newest backup i got.

Now its stuck in a bootloop if I start it normaly and if i start it in recovery or download mode it shows me the samsung SIII start screen and turns back off.

I hope you can help me and thans a lot for even trying.

Okey just to make things clear:

Yes it is charged.

If i start it normaly, without pressing any Buttons except to power button i get a bootloop is vibrating periodicly and i see my bootscreen forever.

If I want to get in recovery mode or download mode (volume up/down+home+power) it Shows me the Samsung sIII Screen and turns off again.

If u know anyone with a usb jig...that mite helo u get into download mode
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
If it worked fine before the screen was broken then either something else was damaged at the same time or the repair process has added something new.

If you can't get it into download mode then not a lot you can do, usb jig or repair clip might work -but only if the motherboard is undamaged..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destera:
well unfortunatly not
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Destera:

I found a update on google for the 4.0 install and then realised it was only for tablets bought from big lots(only after installing and then trying to troubleshoot), mine was purchased from hsn.

I said screw it, i'll try the first one ONE MORE TIME...... IT FIXED IT. If anyone wants the rom I will email it to you. BUT DO NOT ASK ME FOR THESE ROMS IF YOUR TABLET IS WORKING AND YOU JUST WANT AN UPGRADE... That's how I bricked mine to start with.

Have you been able to successfully surf the internet?

I have got an I-mate on VF UK contract and have run the automatic VF UK contract config setup and can successfully connect using the VF WAP Connection and VF MMS connection, but if I try the VF Internet GPRS connection, I get every time the error message 'The answering modem has disconnected'. Sad

Do you have the same experience or does it work for you?

I can only load wap pages using the WAP connection and can send mms, but can't view any html sites.

Cheers,

Antoine
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jaythemagician:
My web works fine.It was all set up out the box.Everything seems to work mms web etc.The settins are different to what i had on my jam when i had to use the cab files from imate.This time in connections there is a contract internet setting already setup and should work from the off.Have you not got this?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toine:
Hmm... I am really miffed to be honest. Out of the box (i-mate) I had three configs:

Connections: Vodafone MMS and Vodafone WAP:

Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)

APN: wap.vodafone.co.uk

Username: wap

Password: wap

WAP proxy: 212.183.137.12:9201

(I have tried entering the same proxy for html, but that didn't solve the problem either)

Connection: Vodafone Internet:

Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS)

APN: internet

Username: web

Password: web

I can connect using the WAP and MMS one, but any html page times out. I can read specific wap sites though, like for example the wap edition of BBC mobile.

The Vodafone Internet connection is the one that doesn't work. But maybe I have the incorrect settings? What settings do you have?

I am running ROM: 1.12.00 WWE, Radio: 1.12.10, Protocol: 1337.42, ExtROM: 1.12.131 WWE.

Cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jaythemagician:
They are the settings i had on my jam too.3 different connections.But on the compacy there is only one called contract connection and it doesn't let you edit it like the others so i can't see the details.Have you downloaded the cab off the i mate website with uk contract vodafone settings in it?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toine:
They were already installed. But reapplied them anyway and still no luck. It is consistent... that's the only positive. :(
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] hally:
Is the voice quality any better than the jam
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] latts:
Toine,

You have everything right apart from the email/internet GPRS settings.

I use two connections (always have) on my QTEK S100 for Vodafone UK. You need 1 to access MMS and another to send/receive email and browse the internet.

In SETTINGS/CONNECTIONS/CONNECTIONS

1. You should have "Vodafone Internet:" connection defined as is above

2. Under "My Work network" you should "Add a new modem connection" with the settings you have in "Vodafone MMS and Vodafone WAP:" except there is no username/password (you have wap defined).

In MESSAGING/TOOLS/MMS SETTINGS

1. Set "Connect via" to "My work network".

2. Make sure you have your server defined with the settings you have in the next tab. This should be (in case you don't have it):

Server name: Vf UK MMS (for example)

Gateway: 212.183.137.12

port number: 9201

Server address: http://mms.vodafone.co.uk/servlets/mms

This set-up should now tell the imate to connect to email and the internet with the "APN: internet" connection and connect for MMS to "Vf UK MMS"

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any problems,

Martyn
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Jarek:
jaythemagician: can you give us yr VPA ROM, Radio and Protocol version (as in SETTINGS|Device Information) ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] toine:
Thanks for your help Martyn.

I haven't tried changing the MMS settings as they currently work.

I have tried the APN: internet as per your suggestion, but I haven't been able to get that to work.

I have however managed to get internet access last night, by implementing my gprs proxy settings I used on my old Nokia, and strangely enough those work. It is the same proxy ip but a different port namely: 8799. This now works.

It works alright, but do encounter the funny well discussed gprs problems (slightly off topic here), but nothing so far that a soft reset or radio reset haven't been able to fix.

Cheers!

Well our firmware may be slightly different as mines voda and yours orange.Perhaps speaker?I don't know.The new case seems alot better too,no bits rattling and coming off.It's like this is the final version and the other was rushed.The speaker quality is so much better though,miles better than the jam i had previous wich was pretty bad looking back on it

Hi,

I was in doubt between doing or not doing the ROOT in my Galaxy S4 4G (GT-I9505)...

But I tried to start doing it.

I asked a friend who had already made it on his device!

At first he tried to install the recovery, so I would not lose my S4.

He used the Odin as he did for himself, but it faild. So I gave up doing te ROOT and we stopped.

Ok then, but today I looked for an upgrade original from Samsung on my device. But it said:

"Your device was modified. Upgrades are not available."

What can I do now?? I need to reset it to the original form or finish the ROOT successfully.

And I can't even put my device on recovery mode! It fails.

Please, help me!

I don't know what to do and this is my first post.

Ps.: out of this problem, my device is functioning normally.

Thank you! :(

Do you need root, is there something you can`t do without root atm or do you want to remove useless/unneeded stuff?

Better read up about rooting, flashing, recovery`s, roms and Odin so you`ll know what the (dis)advantages, risks and benefits are before you get into trouble :)

Do the following for now:

1. Download CF Auto Root from here http://download.chainfire.eu/316/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip and extract it once with 7-zip.

2. Download Odin 3.04 http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168422&d=1341114468.

3.Enable usb debugging and disable Kies (also in windows task manager)

4. Place the extracted CF Root md5 file in Odin in the PDA section.

5. Put he phone in downloadmode (turn off the phone and then press volume down first and then the power button)

6. Connect to pc and and press start if you see ID;COM light up and you see a com number.

Reboot and you have root. Also install Busybox from Google Play.
