[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Can't help you with your other questions, but I think I know the answer to this one:

The hardware in the Exec is different to any of its earlier relatives. Now we have persistant (i.e. permanent) storage which behaves like a rewritable ROM, plus a 'Programs' memory which is RAM. Your installed programs, files, and documents are stored in the persistant storage and will not be lost even if the battery is completely flat! :D This is a big step forward from previous models, in which everything was stored in power-dependent RAM.

In the old days you could move the slider to choose between allocation of RAM to storage or running programs because it was all one storage location in hardware. With the Universal we have two physical types of storage so you can't change how it is used.

I agree with the title of your post: One step forward and one back. WM5 is .... different. Not necessarily better from a simple usability point of view. They give us two soft buttons at the bottom of the screen to perform common tasks (which is good :) ) but this removes a huge chunk of usable screen area (which is bad :( ). IMHO the benefits of WM5 will only be seen over time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] abp:
I agree that it is a huge advantage that we now have persistant storage, but it is really a problem that you cant move the activesync document folder to the storage card, there is not much memory in the internal storage ram in the new version to save data, so if you have fx. a excel document you like to have sync and use on both desktop and pocket pc then you would need to manually copy between SD card and internal memory. To me it really seems like a half finnished and not thought thoug solution they have made here
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ta_:
another thing i noticed about wm 5 and active sync is that you canot change the default folder (in outlook) for syncronising contacts. i tried the tools/options... menu that should give me many settings to do but no good.

and how about sheduling? do you get any settings for that? i dont.

maybe i do something wrong but with the s100 everything was a litle bit more easy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pmennen:
I find rom flashing sufficiently annoying that I don't do it often. In fact I've only done it once (over a year ago) with Paranoid Android. But the advances are starting to look significant and I'm contemplating my next rom. I looked casually at the bug list for CM10.2 and it seems that most bugs are minor glitches or things with easy work arounds, and that this base is stable enough to use as a daily driver. If anyone would like to confirm or deny that conjecture I would like to hear your opinion on that.

Assuming one is willing to take the CM10.2 leap, the ROM listing thread shows 7 based on CM10.2:

BeanStalk, crDroid, DARKNESS, Illusion, Krueger, rom-xperia, SGT7, and SuperNexus 3.0

I'm not naive enough to ask which one is best, but to those of you who have compared these seriously, could you offer some comparisons based on some of the important characteristics. Perhaps

- best stability

- best battery life

- best UI smoothness

- largest feature set

- smallest footprint (i.e. reduced bloat)

- best built-in apps

- best built-in kernel

- most popular

- best support

Or if you don't think these are the most important characteristics, feel free to suggest more relevant ones.

I have read large portions of the thread discussing each of these roms, but I still find it difficult to decide which one I would like most..

I'm sure many readers of this forum will be as interested in your responses as I am since at this point there is little of this kind of information out there in a reasonably accessible way.

Thanks in advance for any contributions you can make to this thread.

[General Questions and Answers] mc704:
Hey Folks,

I am looking to ditch my current service provider for Straight Talk (which uses AT&T network I believe).

I have the option from picking a T-Mobile HTC One or Verizon Galaxy S4.

They both are priced exactly the same (buying from relatives)

From my understanding, the T-Mobile HTC One has bands for LTE network on Straight Talk but the Verizon Galaxy S4 (Only has HSPA+ for AT&T network)

Which one would you guys recommend me getting? I mainly call,text, with the occasional game & media streaming. Battery life is important to me and so is build quality and SPEED.

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] RXG9:
Straight Talk has AT&T and T-Mobile SIM's so make sure you verify which one your getting before you order it.

I would go with the HTC One, it has the T-Mobile bands if you do plan on getting a Straight Talk T-Mobile SIM.

Alright, so my dumb a** decided to download a bloatware remover and remove a bunch of files I thought I didn't need, and now I get this. Every five minutes or so I'll get this. If I use a Google app, it's every second until lock my phone, unlock, go to settings and press it maybe 6 times until it stops. Any help?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
So you deleted the ROM zip? Do you have a TWRP backup? You should always have a ROM zip or a TWRP backup in case something like this happens. Sorry to say it but flashing again is your only option.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Agreed. I always keep the last few ROMs I've flashed on my computer (at a minimum, the current one you are on) as well as a TWRP backup on the phone.

Always make a TWRP backup, especially before doing things like deleting system apps.

Go to a public library or internet cafe and hook to WiFi. Hell most McDonald's have free wifi.

And just don't forget this could have all been avoided with a 2-3 minute backup. I personally learned the hard way on my G1 back in the day. Took days to get it sorted out.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiZiM:
This is confusing, using either the stock app or a different messaging app if the notification sound is different than the default. Such as the default notification sound is Whisper but I set in the SMS app to be Good News. If the screen is off it plays Whisper THEN Good news back to back. But if the screen is on it doesn't do that.. I rebooted and it stopped but then came back. wtf

This only seems to happen if the screen is OFF if the screen is ON it doesn't happen..

Edit: I think i found the issue. Device -> Accessibility -> Notification Reminders - Had this on but only to alert after 10min but it seems to be bugged and causes two alerts at the same time.

has anyone got that to work on note 3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Slappy_G:
I'm no expert on Samsung (just got my GN3), but I was something of one on HTC devices. My guess is that you'll either have to root and hack up the build.prop file (change the DPI field) or use something like Xposed Framework and Per-App Settings to pull this off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
On my Note 1 with CM10.1 I enabled tablet mode by setting dpi to 200. That's probably too low to be easily readable on the Note 3's high DPI screen though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kirbyscream:
I'll try to make this brief.. long-time lurker, first time poster.

My Nexus 4 currently is in a brick state. I had PA 3.99 RC2 installed, and when attempting to flash a new font file, the device will now no longer boot, stalling at the boot logo. I foolishly did not make a back-up (though I thought I did.. probably tapped the wrong button). From that point, I tried a data wipe as well as a cache/dalvik cache wipe, and the same thing happens.

I have an old back-up (about a week or 2) on my phone from a different ROM (I believe MIUI) but when I attempt to restore it with Clockwork Mod Recover I get an "md5 mismatch error."

Currently, I do not have the proper Nexus 4 drivers on my computer - when I plug my device in, it does not show up for me to drag/drop anything in to it to flash it. Is it still possible to install the proper USB drivers in its current state?

I plan to try installing the drivers and android SDK and then sideloading a ROM onto it with ADB, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to install the drivers properly for the phone to show up on my computer, and I won't be able to check until I get back to my desktop computer (my laptop has restricted privileges so I can't install drivers) until tomorrow.

Anyone else have any other ideas or suggestions? Please let me know.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Adb works in recovery, so you can install adb drivers, then use "adb push" or "adb sideload". Try installing the same ROM version you had before (PA). It might work, and also save your data.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] z_rudy:
Hello everyone,

I want to sell my BA for a Universal. Mainly, because it's the camera, and CPU speed are better.... and there's native WM5.0. But I'm confused if it's worth it at the moment since there hasn't been much experimenting with it, and many software are incompatible with WM5.

So, I need your advice. Anyone tried it? What do you recommend? Talk as much as you can :D

I'm going to buy it from i-mate. Is it the same color as that of O2? I love the black. Is the infrared any better from Blue Angel (wider range)? Camera quality? Any plugins for Pocket IE available? Bluetooth driver good? What abut stability and battery life?

Thanks a lot!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mebonkers:
hey man,

i suggest that u stick to your BA...

by far it has proved to be the boss of all PDAs...

the universal is nice and edgy... but for its price (here in UAE it costs 4,300.00 DHS ~ 1,178.00 $) its waaaaaay too much

ok it has a bigger screen, vga display and several other feats but at this price u can get urself a decent laptop which contains much more feats and much better...

i was seconds away from buying the universal but then, thanks to u guys, my BA became a super machine... and when i need bigger screen or better performance i have my laptop in the hood of the car :)

this is just my opinion.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] findus:
I upgraded my BA for a Universal two weeks ago and I absolutely love it. Sure, the BA is a bit more stable and there is a lot more software available for it, but in a few months time the Universal will be equally stable - think back to when the BA came out is was the buggiest piece of crap to date, but after updates and fixes from the mamaichs and buzzs of the world it became a great device. Maybe upgrade in a few months when the price will be lower and it is more stable.

I struggle to imagine anything less stable than the BA. Even after the patches, which do improve the reliability 90%, I would not rely on this phone for anything important.

What are the main problems with the Universal, and how often does it require a soft reset?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Deleted member 239787:
I switched to the Universal a week ago and I wouldn't go back.

So far, the only problems are occasional slow down (very occasional), less battery power (it runs down a lot faster) and the orkward place they put the mini usb port - it a git to dock and it make proper car kits a no-go.

I think I've reset it 3 times in the last week, and the blue angel was on 1 or more a day. Its much more stable, everything works (theres still the odd time when something just fails, but thats windows for you) and the keyboard is second only to the Psion 5.

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
As stupid as it may sound the freezer solution actually works ..just Google ..dead pixels freezer xda ...you'll get tons of successful results ..

Also I myself used this solution thrice on my device ..I got same dead pixels after it has fallen

If you got those dead pixels after a fall then I bet my RC status on this solution that it works

Now what you need to do is

1. Remove battery, sdcard and sim card from the phone

2. Tightly wrap a polythene bag or any other plastic bag such that not even a single drop of water can enter it ( I used rubber bands to keep the wrapped bag intact )

3. Keep the phone in freezer for 6-7 hours ( or for a night )

4. After that take out the phone ..leave the phone outside for 15-20 minutes to let it go to room temperature

5. Pop in necessary stuff and turn on the phone and see the magic

Note: after the above process even if a single dead pixel was left keep the phone back in freezer for another hour ..because if you start using the phone with that single dead pixels ..all the other dead pixels starts coming back during the time you use the phone
[HTC Sensation] sssurfer:
Thanks ! will try this out tonight when I get home. :)

btw were Your dead pixels also as worst as mine ?? and after this procedure did they ever came back ?? Just curious.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Worse? They were worst in my case.. Covered half of screen and I kept the phone in freezer for two nights.. To completely remove them.. And this means yes the process removed the dead pixels completely

Btw iirc I made a post with screenshots of screen with before freezer and after freezer conditions long ago
[HTC Sensation] Jaglicic:
Freezer solution helped me...
[HTC Sensation] sssurfer:
UPDATE !

Tried the freezer technique, left the Mobile in freezer for 8 hrs.

Dead pixels are certainly reduced but not completely vanished.

So I put it back in again. :good:

BTW [MENTION=4546540]ganeshp[/MENTION], How many times you did this to get rid of ur problem with pixels ?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Twice only one time and all the pixels were gone.

And once I have to keep the phone in freezer twice to get rid of them

Its getting away, but slowly. So I'm still keeping it in freezer. By its progress may be in a day or two it will be fine. (I hope so) :good:

First, let me apologize for probably posting something that's been answered. Unfortunately, the forum search is down right now and I've been working on this for hours and gotten no where. I've been away from updating my phone for a long time and need something more stable.

I'd like to upgrade to Maximus 10 ROM. I'm on H-Boot 1.06. Now I think I need a higher H-Boot and maybe Super CID, but I haven't had any luck with any of those. I tried using Moonshine and that stops working when it tries to ADB, for some reason that I haven't been able to figure out.

Basically, can someone give me a quick rundown of what/where I need to go to get my phone updated for Maximus? Many thanks!
[HTC One S] tivofool:
Moonshine is definitely easy, when it works.

You should consider yourself lucky with that low of a HBoot.

You could use Facepalm S-off (most who have updated their phone to Jelly Bean and 2.15 hboot cannot use it.)
