[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] thekeogh:
Hello,

I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact (UK) that I got several months ago. The details of the device are:

ROM Version: 1.01.00 WWE

ROM Date: 10/21/04

Radio Version: 1.00.10

Protocol Version: 1337.36

ExtROM Version: 1.01.128 WWE

Firstly I havent; installed ANY software on this, apart from whats already on it and I have given it a hard reset (re-installed everything) once and the problem

still occurs.

=== THE PROBLEM =========

This doesn;t happen everytime I receive a call, but it happens often enough to become very annoying.

If I receive a call from someone at a certain point and then after the conversation I press the red hang up button the phone screen loses its little "X" in the

top right of the screen. This then prevents me from leaving the phone call screen.

Press the red hang up button again or holding it down doesn;t return me to the today screen neither, Ive tried pressing every combo of buttons the the thing and

it stays on that screen.

To fix it I have to do a soft reset and reboot the damn phone, which is annoying.

It was happening a lot before I done the hard reset, after I reset it didn't happen for a while so I thought it was fixed, but its started doing again now... and

doing it too often for my liking now.

The only thing I have done is install a new theme... could it have anything to do with that? If not what could it be?

T-Mobile UK havent released an update for the MDA Compact yet, but there is one on the german T-Mobile site... but I dont want to risk installing that... or could

I?

Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Thanks

Steve McKeogh
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] BulletTime:
I've seen a number of probs with different Compacts but never heard of that one before. It's not something I've experienced on my own one either, which leads me to think it may be a fault on your handset. I have something similar when I use my camera occasionally but I put that down to mucking around with software updates, but if you haven't changed anything I'd go with a fault. It can go for repair under warranty, which means they'll probably do a complete software upgrade or exchange the unit, so make sure all your important stuff is backed up before you do.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mackaby007:
I tend to agree with the Bulletman. I had the exact same problem with 2 brand new xda IIi's and returned them (o2 not happy!). i did however find that when I installed SPB pocket plus 3.0 , which does shut down the phone dialler/application properly, that that problem was resolved.

Still I concur that it's most likely a hardware issue as I still had poor reception, poor call quality and consequently lost calls! Get it repaired or replaced if you can. My current MDA Compact never does this and it has all the original Rom and software on it, but works flawlessly, hence I've never upgraded.

If it ain't broke why fix it?

i noticed your rom is 1.01, ever throught of upgrading to 1.12 WWE?

Any one of you guys uses screen protectors . I always use one but hate the orange peel effect and cheap one going dull after a week. i have zagg. And now ghost armor on the screen. Does any who does not have screen protector and yet screen is not scratched?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
I've had my phone over a year and a half...no screen protector. But I do have a seidio hard case and holster. I do construction and drop it and use it with dirty hands a lot. I have like maybe 2 tiny scratches. But nothing that shows up when the screen is lit up. :)

I think its not easy to scratch these. Maybe bare in a pocket with other stuff or a purse maybe....but that's just asking for scratches.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] osmoen:
I've had the phone for 8 months and have dropped it on cobblestone and gravel - both times fearing the worst after the phone's ending position has been face down. No noticeable scratches on the screen. The cobblestone drop was in part cushioned by my foot, but the gravel drop yielded some serious dents on the shiny frame. I'm glad to see the phone is handling abuse this well.

I'm generally not a fan of covering up a phone I've bought with bulky (or not so bulky) cases and covers. I've yet to see one of those making the phone look better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] subnoize soulja:
I've had my s2 for over a year without a case or screen protector and I only got 1 tiny scratch up by the clock and is not noticeable with screen on and also I took a really fine grit sandpaper for plastic and sanded the shiny trim off my phone so its all black and nice and smooth and it really looks a lot better!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
For me, in my job....I could care less how my phone looks....I need it to not break! LOL

Big bulky hard case and holster all the way! I think it looked good anyway....tho case is scratched to crap now.

Not shelling out for a new one while I'm on contact ....been there done that. ;)

I heard our phone are not gorilla glass just some reinforced glass. The international version are indeed gorilla glass, tmo cut corners on our phone ;) . They said s3(dead) is gorilla glass and ive got scratches on it after about a month owning it. the s2 is my phone untill contract is over.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kroniq:
I've had a habit of putting my lighter or some change in the same pocket as my phone, and in the past it's scratched my phones all to hell. Not an issue with the s2.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Gorilla glass, or whatever glass on the phones don't help with scratch resistance.

It's all about direct impact resistance so the screen doesn't break as soon as you tap on it really hard.

All screens get scratched but it is a matter of noticing them. The only way to prevent them is with a wet applied protector as static clings probably do micro abrasions and whatnot that no one notices without a strong light.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Oliv3:
Had my phone about 2 years now. The silver band around the rim is chipped and scratched at the corners. However, the screen itself is still completely clean without any marks.

i have used ghost armor for almost 2 years, had it replaced for 5 bucks twice, works great

I've had this thing since release and only a few tiny scratches from going to the beach. Never has a screen protector. Only a d30 case from T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knightandroid:
I do not use a screen protector. I have had this T989 since last February, and I have no noticeable scratches, although it is rarely in a pocket with anything else, and has only been dropped when wearing a heavy case. Luckily.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Darth:
I've always used a big bulky otterbox like case...seidio...with holster.....and tonnes of 6 foot and less drops....no damage. Just the bezel, from the case. No screen protector ever.

Plan on getting the N4 soon tho....it'll have the toughest case I can find! Lol

screen protector first thing

The very first thing that I do when I get a new device is put on a screen protector. If you do it right you can not tell they are there. Also it only cost a few bucks on eBay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Ebay. New in box for under 300. Local classifieds have it no...some new, some used. I might consider used if its mint....only if I had trouble finding new. Tho, not against N5....if its under 400, unlocked and out by Christmas. Otherwise ...N4 for me.

Just wondering if this is the case and I should update firmware. My network coverage seems to have no issues, my WiFi at home seems to hav no issues but the Bluetooth in the car is aggravating! GetRIL tells me "unknown" and I have reported it but no response. ARHD 6.8.0 3.33 faux10.
[HTC Sensation] Gatosbil:
With Android Revolution HD versions try to use firmware from here:

Firmware from 3.33.401.6 & 3.33.401.106 RUU

Just download the latest firmware version and flash it.You probably won't have any issues after that.I suppose you are S-OFFed!

Why you don't install the latest ARHD (7.3) from here?
[HTC Sensation] HsHTCsen:
Thanks. Yes, I'm s-off'd.

I'd kept an eye on the forum as 7.* was released and spotted a few posts mentioning issues with random restarts among other things so I held off cause my current configuration seems to go well and didn't want the dramas. But you reckon it's good to go?

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jsergel3:
So I am looking for an app to make one of my phones more like an IPhone. No, no really... well not exactly. I actually do want to take away much of the coolness of android and limit the options, much like a crappy Iphone.

I want to be able to lockdown a phone to certain apps. But not in a "kiddie" type of way. And I want to be able to include direct dial shortcuts. But I want to lock or effectively remove everything else that is not and "approved" app.

All the apps I have seen rely on a password that is on all the existing app. So all the options are still there, but have a password. I want to remove the outside options. And I think it has to be a home replacement in that it has to control the notification area too. All of the lock down apps also seem to not be able to stop the play updates and then you can get into the app from the "updated" notification.

So I want the screen to have like 10 direct dial number shortcuts, a few games and that is all with no way (without effort and knowledge) to get to all the other goodness that is android.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinarabbit:
Has anyone ever Imported a VCF File Offline, Directly from their PC to their Android, and got the contacts with Unicode CJK (Chinese / Japanese / Korean) to display properly on import?

I have Android 4.2.2, and I've tried importing with 3 different programs (the Built-in Contacts Widget, Contacts VC, & vCardIO), and each one fails to retain the CJK Character Set Display when browsed through the phone

Of course, if a contact is added or edited individually with the CJK entered on the Device itself, it displays fine

Outlook has a similar problem by failing to display CJK properly when importing CSV contacts, however, in previous versions of Office you could import with Access which would retain the CJK Characters.. support for importing from Access & Excel DBs has been removed from Office 2013, which I assume is to boost the sales of their 30 dollar language support add on.. but I dont even know if buying that would help.

Anyway, the CSV file displays the CJK perfectly, and when converted to a single VCF, the CJK appears fine as well, when viewed in a txt editor

2 things I've tried and cant figure out is first, Converting the VCF to Unicode & saving as VCF creates a document which is not recognized by any of the 3 programs above, nor by Outlook.. Even though both files start with BEGIN:VCARD, and end with END:VCARD..

Doing a Notepadd++ file compare between the two documents, i notice a few extra lines and other differences beginning only at the point where the CJK contacts begin.. trying to fix the Unicode one up to match the original one also doesnt appear to have any effect. I HAVE NO IDEA why this happens.. it doesnt make any sense to me.. perhaps someone could explain it?

and Second, I've looked around in my phone for ways to add more support or fonts, but had no success.. perhaps someone could tell me how I might add in more support for CJK CharSets maybe in the Root, Either adding Fonts, or perhap there is something else I could add to make it more of a complete Chinese system

I'm a Windows user, and dont know much about the Linux Kernel, but its appearing to handle languages more like Apple does than like Microsoft.. Apple has a ton of programs that jumble all of my CJK files

In WinMo, i could install a "Chinese System" which gave it the same support the Chinese WinMo would have.. Android seems to support English, then selectively pick & choose whats going to be ported to a different language, not natively built to support other charsets

Perhaps also I could add CJK support to an existing open-source Contacts APK, or if someone has one in the works, maybe they could try and add it in? Let me know

thanks for any ideas
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinarabbit:
Here is my method I used to create my CSV & Convert it to a VCF

Start > Run

Type: Contacts & Hit Enter

Click "Import" on the bar above the window.. if you cant see it, make your window full screen, or click the ">>" arrows on the right

Browse to your CSV File & Click Import

Wait for them to all be imported, could take 5-15 minutes, depending on how many contacts you have

Hit Ctrl + A to select them all, and then click "Export", next to the Import button

Select "Vcards *.vcf"

Map all the fields, by dragging them from the left column to the closest similar column on the right

Browse to a New Folder just for your VCF Contacts

Click OK to Export, Export will be much faster than Import

There will be one VCF per contact, you could have thousands

Go to the folder where all the VCF files are

Right-Click, and go to Lopesoft File Menu Tools > and select "Command Line From Here"

Type the following:

copy *.vcf all.vcf

There will be new file named "all.vcf" in the file with all the other ones, but it will be much bigger, copy that to a new folder

Put that "all.vcf" file in your phone SD card

Import the VCF into your Phone Contacts

**If you need help getting a CSV file:

Outlook:

Export > Contacts to CSV

Use this Program to easily convert PimBackups from PPC to CSV files:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olivier.houdas:
You might find an much, much easier solution!

Got it from code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10107

Notepad adds 3 bytes at the start of UTF-8 or Unicode files, which makes Unix (here, Android) not capable of reading Unicode/UTF-8 files.

If you edit your .vcf Vcard file with another editor, such as Notepad++ or Pspad, and save it as UTF-8 without BOM (implicit option in Pspad, explicit choice in the menu of Notepad++), then you will be able to import it on Android Kitkat 4.2 with the standard Vcard contact import option, and it will come into your Phone contacts naturally !

[Moto X Q&A] caldroid:
Several times in my week with the moto x internet will stop working despite the 4g sign being blue in the status bar. It happens in crowded areas where there is likely a lot of people connecting to a single cell tower (concert, sporting events, etc), but friends on other Verizon phones (iPhone and S4) still have service as their phone has switched them to 3g.

Is there a way to force 3g mode? In Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Mode there is only the option for LTE / CDMA and GSM / UMTS (which doesn't work), not CDMA only mode like there was on the Gnex. Any apps or tricks to force the switch?

I'm not sure if I'm going to find an answer to this question since there are at most a dozen Photon Q's being used with Bell Mobility up in Canada, but you never know until you ask right?

Just got CM 10.1.3-RC2 (Android 4.2.2) up on my phone, and it's working great with one exception: I'm not being notified when a voicemail message is waiting for me.

I've been looking around and haven't seen anyone else posing this question in relation to the Photon Q, though there have been a few other post around for other phones. However, the suggested answers seem to vary by phone: the HTC Desire Z supposedly needs a radio update, many phones (all?) had issues with CM7, the Inspire 4G apparently needs a bit of specific code., etc...

Does anyone have a solution to this for the Photon Q?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] adrienspawn:
I would love to know how you managed to get Bell's service on your phone, as it doesnt show up properly in their MEID database and they cant give me a straight answer before I use my credit card.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Speedraca:
Hey unfortunately I never got this sorted out. I'm now running 4.3 and still having the same problem. For me it's not too much of an issue as people rarely seem to make phone calls these days, but I just kind of check my voicemail manually every few days just to be safe.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] adrienspawn:
But you still have voice/text working? I tried bringing it to a Bell store today and they couldn't activate it without a certain hexadecimal 11-key number that's unique to the device.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Speedraca:
I do have voice, text, and all the other stuff working just fine. I didn't even talk to Bell about "activating" my device, I just took the sim card out of my old phone and put it in the new one, and voila. However, I believe it depends what rom you're running... I'm using CyanogenMod and I believe they include some specific settings to get the phone up on various carriers.

Sorry if this is an obvious question, but you've done the hardware mod needed to use a Canadian (or other) SIM card right?

Basically everything I did I found in a single thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1929143 It's a long one but chances are you'll find what you need to know somewhere in there!
