ehh

The Universal is a SUPER device.

If you want :

a vga screen

a mobile

wifi

gprs

3g(umts)

large sd card slot

WM5

Swiffel screen

FULL qwerty keyboard of a normal size (not miniscule lol)!!

and plenty of possibilties for software updates (which will come)!!

The universal is a DREAM come true for me and nagging we all can!

If you want a pda/phone which works great get an qtek s100,

if you want a phone get a nokia,

if you only want a pda get a pda (dont by a pda/phone if you just wanna nagg about having a huge thing against your ear get a small smartphone instead, i would recommend spv c550 but i am sure people can nagg about that great phone too) :lol:

The universal is the coolest thing on the market and it works, it is a mini tabletpc with wifi and a gsm in one and it is easy to carry.

WM5 is very new so don't install win2003 or 2003se software on it because it will slow down like hell. logical though. I have some games (i could recommend girders) and pocketbreeze installed and it works like a charm.

People are selling them because the bought them and wanna make a profit haha (is always like that). this is a phone/pda for only a small group of people and they will love it!! I know i do!

Those other people should get a qtek s100 or a smartphone.

Thanks for being honest. Its those who won't admit they've been

suckered

who are going to flat out deny the truth about this device and its bugs.

I'm on my 3rd PDA running windows mobile (XDA2, XDA2s, MDA Compact) and each of them has bugs that really should have been show-stoppers when it comes to releasing any of them - so I find it hard to believe that people will openly say "what bugs, it runs fine".

From my experience over the last 2 years, its only the very minor bugs that ever see a fix.

@xiasma

You know what I mean about memory. My JJ uses about 20MB more RAM than after a reset after you have used a few apps. Does not seem the garbage collection is working to well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@sub69

I have used computers since 1982 and funny that I've never found one that is fault free, unlike the JJ/Universal/XDA Exec. The M$ based devices are usually the least buggy - not!

Ok, I'm new to this whole "contributing to forums thing", I normally read them to help me solve issues and don't add anything myself. As you can see from my number of posts I'm enjoying this :)

I have NO agenda, my toungue is firmly lodged in my cheek and my cap reads "Advocate, Devil".

But I think this is worth a little experiment. I've started a new discussion thread at

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=175251#175251

for those of you who're interested.

My plan is this: I'll hard-reset my device. I'll select Corporate mode as I'm not even going to entertain the idea that the O2 software ISN'T crammed full of bugs. This time I'll keep track of anything i do and put the posts up here. Imagine I'm one of the testers bound and gagged in a microsoft lab.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
Yeah, I was being a little cheeky, but the OS does need RAM. iirc, the graphics RAM is shared with main RAM too. How much RAM does you desktop PC have dedicated to graphics?

Then, think about how complex stuff like a full pre-emptive multitasking kernel, windowing GUI, drivers for graphics, camera, touch-screen, sound (uin and out), telephony, texting, MMS, video calls, SDIO, wifi, BT, etc then there's the virtual keyboard, the transcriber handwriting recognition, etc. It's a hell of a lot to squeeze in.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Unfortunately forums often suggest devices are more faulty then they are people only visit forums and post when they have a problems. Also, as other have said, third-party apps often misbehave and cause many problems (I have used Symbian and Palm OS and this is not unusual to M$ devices!)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
All I'm saying is that everything that I've used on my JasJar works as intended. Yes there are shortcomings, I think the calendar plugin is useless for instance, but nothing is broken. t9 works, BT works, speed is not bad, Messaging has never caused a crash and neither has any other ROM-installed software (including Skype). Only third party software has caused me any problems.

I'm not going flat out to deny the 'truth' that there are bugs, because the truth is - I haven't had any.

If anyone wants to argue go for it, but like I've said I can only comment on my experiences, and that's all I have done.

Maybe other people have different definitions of a bug? For instance....I don't particularly want the JasJar to close the data connection when I've finished downloading mail. I'd rather it stayed connected for when I then click on a link in my e-mail, so that it's quicker to load the web-page. Is that a bug? (And I know about the reg hack, btw)

(Oh, and I don't think my ZX81 ever had any bugs either come to think of it...the stupid keyboard packed up about a million and one times though!)

Re;

Here you go mate! I take no credit for the information below, supplied from the www.wiki.xda-developers.com website.

To set the data connection to remain permanently on

The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\(GPRS connection name)'

(GRPS connection name) is the name of your connection to the outside world

The 'AlwaysOn' DWORD value can be set to '1' to remain on permanently or '0' to turn on and off as required

For example, to set the data connection always on for a T-Mobile MDA Pro

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\T-Mobile Internet\AlwaysOn = 1

Hope it helps?

Well yesterday I had no apps running and there was only 8 MB free. Why? Are you saying the OS needs 42MB of RAM? By the way my Gateway 200Mhz PC with 64MB of RAM running Win95 was very snappy and the JJ has a 520Mhz processor!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Thanks anyway, hamhacker! :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
So, knock off 8mb for graphics. We'll call them even for windowing GUI, sound (uin and out) and a few other bits and bobs. But you've still got:

a full pre-emptive multitasking kernel, telephony, texting, MMS, video calls, SDIO, wifi, BT, etc then there's the virtual keyboard, the transcriber handwriting recognition

How snappy was your PC when multitasking all of these things? I'm not saying WM5 is efficient - far from it (take a look at GEOS running on a Commodore 64) - but it does do a LOT, much more than PCs from 8 years ago.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Is it possible or meaningful to compare processor speeds in this way? You can't compare stated clock speeds of Macs with PCs or even Intel Centrino with Intel Pentium4, so to compare the Universal's 520MHz with an old 486 might be pointless. :?:

Hi no way to put Qslide in cm 10.2 rom ??

Or there is another similar apk ??
[LG Optimus 4X HD] theofficialpimp:
No. Never
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Ottonet:
There is Tiny apps, that you can find on the play store in two flavours: paid and free. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ragingtools.tinyappslite).

It is a collection of 5 floating small apps: note keeper, drawing app, calculator, voice recorder and music player, that can be opened on top of other running app to have them handy when you are doing something and need to quickly do something else.

You can activate every single tiny app by means of a widget.

I've bought the paid version and used the app for some week before deciding that they were not so much essential to me.

I think they work well and do what they are supposed to do, even though Qslides are probably more refined, from a graphical point of view.

I used them on a 10.1 CM. In the play store there is nothing written about the compatibility with CM 10.2, so if you want to try them out, you'd better start with the "light" unpaid version, first.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SnoStorm:
I'm having an issue with my battery. I am running the latest build of ViperInc on it and the battery life is great. But something weird happens when the battery gets low. from 20-12% battery left it runs fine. But once it hits 12% or even 11% it jumps down straight down to 6% and then powers down. I've tried cycling it a few times.

I think it actually needs a calibration. I know I used to have some option in CWM recovery that would reset battery stats but not i use TWRP.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] zax10:
That has been proven to not really be affective. Do you run any kind of battery saving apps.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
You're working off a lot of outdated information. We don't use Ni-Cad batteries in our phones, fully discharging Li-Ion causes more harm than good. The wipe battery stats feature in recovery was removed about a year ago because it gave false impressions about "calibrating" your battery. In actually, it only wiped the statistics... strange right? A new battery costs around $7 on Amazon or eBay, have you considered that?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SnoStorm:
Gotcha. I always read conflicting stuff about it whether cycling works or not.

I know batteries are only 7 bucks but I don't have any issues with it and it rarely gets down that low unless i forget my charger after a day of classes and work. Was just hoping there was some way to even have a makeshift fix.

I appreciate your help
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawmobile215:
First, let me apologize for what I'm sure is repetition, I searched the site and could not find the step by step process that I need. So again sorry.

I have a rooted Vibrant (I think, the superuser permission icon is there, from the market I downloaded "SU update fixer" and "BusyBox"because somewhere online it said I should) I updated to froyo when it originally came out and was told I had to go back to eclair to root which I just did 3 days ago.

My problem is I can't get clockwork recovery on my phone so I can flash a rom. I've downloaded heimdall and went through the steps (when I'm in the command prompt screen I get the error that it is not recognized as an internal or external command. Also "rom manager" Google market link does not recognize my phone, so I can't just download the app directly. It doesn't even come up when I search the market on my phone.

Another question, I thought once I rooted I'd be able to delete some bloatware from the device? How do I do it? Do I need to flash a rom before I can do this?

If it helps here are the current specs of my phone:Model SGH-T959, Firmware 2.1-update1, Baseband T959uvjfd, Kernel 2.2.29,Build Eclair

Please help.

For removing apps, use titanium backup
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
Try this

Try this (Use method B) it works like a charm every time.

also note that you dont have to install a custom rom if you prefer not to.

if you just flash the zip and reboot to clockworkmod then your set.

this is from s15274n's guide found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849028

There are two options here. Choose which is best for you, before you start.

ROOT ONLY METHOD:

A – This is an update.zip (633KB) that roots your phone only. You can then install Rom Manager from the Market to flash CWR (Clockwork Recovery) and install custom ROMs.

INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY AND FLASH A ROM THAT WILL GIVE ROOT ACCESS (MY PREFERRED METHOD):

B – use the other update.zip (1.7MB) and this will flash CWR for you – allowing you to immediately flash a custom ROM.. I do this because it's faster.

1.

A: Download this update.zip file to root your phone. You plan to install Rom Manager to flash CWR and a new ROM later.

B: Download this update.zip file to flash CWR... you will need to flash a custom ROM for Root. I prefer this method.

NOW DOWNLOAD THE ROM YOU PLAN TO FLASH

2.

Copy the update.zip (and the ROM) to the INTERNAL SD (not the external SD Card). sdcard/

3.

Unplug the USB (assuming you are still connected after using ODIN)...

Hold down volume up + volume down + Power for about 9 seconds.

If you prefer, you can power off your phone, then hold in all 3 buttons to boot into recovery, I don't see the point in waiting for the phone to power off.

This will get you to a recovery menu (blue/purple text) after some yellow text.

4.

In this (the stock recovery menu) select 'Reinstall Packages'

Use volume to navigate + power to select.

5.

It will cycle a bit, you will see that yellow text again, then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again.

You are now in CWR (clockwork recovery).

You can either reboot, flash your new ROM or make a backup now...

Thanks a million!! I'm now running Android 4.2.2 using CM 10.1.3.

My only problem is I seem to have lost my apps/contacts/etc. I don't have android market anymore. Would you know how I can get my apps back??? I see my backups (reware) in the file section (external sd) but I don't know how to get them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
Gapps

if you backed up with Titanium backup you'll need to restore them with that, but to do so you'll want to have the market to download titanium backup.

So to get the google apps back you'll need to flash the gapps package (Cyanogen mod doesn't include them by default)

here is the full list for all versions of android: http://goo.im/gapps

but I beleive youll want this one for 4.2.2: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip

just reboot into recovery and flash it (no need to reflash the ROM but if you ever change roms you would flash the rom first and then the gapps package)

once you boot back into android you'll have the market back.

Odd, I've really only seen that when you try to install a carrier ota update over a custom ROM

Flash the ROM and then the gapps files again in that order and you should be fine though you'll need to restore your apps with titanium backup again afterward.

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

If it happens again you might ask someone in the thread for that ROM if it's a known issue.

Or try an alternate ROM

I tried. Mighty Odin has failed me.

For about 6hrs yesterday, I tried using odin to get back to original stock(eclair) it has not worked. I get a pass each time but the phone does not reboot, at first it just relooped the vibrant screen, now vibrant screen flashes then screen goes black. When the phone is plugged in the battery icon just reloops. I noticed that when odin was done the beginning of the recovery screen had a red "data wipe failed" within the normal yellow text then it would turn off and go to the battery screen again. I've used several versions of odin none have worked. If you have any suggestions please let me know. I'm afraid it may be dead forever although I've read many posts that state that android phones are almost impossible to brick. I'm at my wits end.

Didn't Work

Thanks again, I've been at it for a few hours now, it goes into recovery but does not respond to my power button to reboot. Also beginning screen now says 1900. As though it flashed a different version.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
the initial odin file you are flashing is a modified 19000 file.

if the 19000 kernel is flashed then the hardware buttons will be mixed up.

dont worry though if you got that far its good dont worry about using the power button to reboot.

just pull the battery.

then you'll need to use Odin again to flash the original android 2.1 files again.

this time it should go through and you'll be back where you started.

from there you'll need to re-root and flash the ROM of your choice.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawmobile215:
Still not working

Ok so I pulled the battery, went back into download mode and tried to flash the original android files. When I did that I ended up with the stuck vibrant screen again. or if its plugged in the battery icon just keeps restarting. I've tried several versions of odin, nothing seems to work. I just keep going back and forth flashing the 19000 and trying to flash the original 2.1. I keep ending up at the same place. Every time I go through the odin process I always get a pass, but the original files do not flash. Again I appreciate all your help, I'll keep at it for a day or so but I'm losing the bit of patience I have left.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
try following the steps below, I added the links for the files you'll need (hopefully the links are working, I cant test them from work unfortunately)

note that the first odin file is an 19000 file and the volume buttons on the phone will be reversed and menu selection will not work in recovery.

if you need to reboot you can use ADB or just pull the battery.

1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file. HERE

2. Extract the files.

3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.

4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.

5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.

6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.

7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.

8. Now, pull your battery.

9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'. HERE

10. Extract the files.

11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.

12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.

13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.

14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! BAM!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawmobile215:
Still no luck.

Yup, This was the order that I followed to the T. So step #7 was what got 19000 on my phone. It never errored out or rebooted just went to 19000 recovery screen and stays there. I took the battery out, put it back in, went back to download mode, I downloaded and tried to flash the True stock 2.1 and that's what got me to just a Vibrant screen. I'm not sure if my PC(windows XP) is the problem though this is the same PC I used to root and flash cyanogenmod, or if something inside the phone is messed up. I did notice during an earlier recovery the words "wipe data fail" in red among the normal yellow text. This may be the cause of the repeated bad flashes of the stock 2.1. I'll keep trying when I get off today and tomorrow but I may have to bite the bullet and get a new phone on Thurs.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
You might have already tried this but you might try leaving it at the vibrant logo for a good 10 minutes.

I find that when I odin back to stock it takes a bit longer than usual to boot.

If it stays stuck you might try pulling the battery and try booting to recovery (if Odin was successful back to stock it should be the stock recovery)

if it lets you into stock recovery we will at least know the odin flash worked.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawmobile215:
OK, so I was in 19000 recovery. took battery out, Tried to flash the true 2.1 using odin. When the odin process finished I got a quick flash of the odin screen and nothing just a blank screen. I tried to get into stock recovery but the vibrant logo just blinks. If i plug the phone in the battery icon continues to blink on and off. I can't express enough how grateful I am for your help and patience.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
since for some reason the 19000 froyo seems to be working on your phone you might try the one below: (make sure and download the Odin image rather than the Clockworkmod zip)

this is stock 2.2 but its actually made for the Vibrant so it should work out of the box.

its not rooted though.

Froyo 2.2

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firefly6240:
Yeah, the eMMC chip is an internal memory chip, I always heard it called a NAND chip before but its the same thing.

unfortunately if it turns out to be the eMMC chip then its not an easy thing to replace.

most people replace the whole motherboard to fix it.

its not a common thing to go bad, but considering the age of our phones it could easily happen.

if thats whats wrong your best option would likely be either an insurance replacement or an upgrade.
