The saying goes "never buy the first iteration of a major release", and it's true. There's teething troubles that should have been caught in testing, but for me the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, specifically stylus-free use, and persistent storage.

We all have different requirements, hence the device won't be right for anyone. I'd imagine that an inevitable service pack will fix some of your complaints, but others really won't be addressed.

As for dealing with an irate user group, well, I wouldn't roll out a device like this to a user group unless I was confident in it. If you work for a network, I guess you've got no choice.

It used to be that early adopters of this sort of thing were geeks/technophiles at heart, but now a phone is a fashion accessory they're getting into everyone's hands quickly... The good news is that pressure should force manufacturers to get fixes quickly.

As for the wish that MS wanting developers to eat their own dog food, well, they do... However, the demographic of an MS developer or even business manager is a bit different to the audience for the device. I would still imagine that a hell of a lot of "focus groups" etc have been involved in designing the OS etc.

I guess sales advisors in the phone retailers should be aware of the potential pitfalls and be advising people as to whether the device really is for them or not. I've had huge problems with AS4.0/1 and my firewall, but I know that I'm on my own and that phoning t-mobile would be as much fun and use as kicking myself hard in the crotch.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] k_kirk:
I think the AS4 issue is going to be the single largest issue posing a challenge in the uptake of newer devices in the enterprise area. Large companies will not compromise on their existing security profiles just because MS can't get its newest product to coexist with even their own firewall... What a joke!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mitchello:
Activesync 4.1 is much better than AS4.0. I have been using build 4807 shortly after getting my K-JAM, and its much improved over the original 4.0. I updated to the beta build 4807 about a day after getting my KJAM (and installing 4.0) and its heaps better.

The red phone button will kill a GPRS session if you just hold it down for a few seconds..

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fmcgirt:
Yes, I know about turning it off - but you need to run something like Messaging or PIE to turn it on - and some of my internet apps will no longer cause a GPRS startup so I have to run something else first - insane!!!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] inbox7:
I feel your frustrations. I don't get it either. Microsoft seems to market their stuff to guys with a lot of time on their hands to troubleshoot problems. I always feel like a beta tester...within about 10 minutes of using something, I usually find some kind of glitch, bug, or problem like the Activesync bugs.

Wouldn't this be obvious to a big company who spends a lot of effort on R&D?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fmcgirt:
Maybe they have so much effort in R&D and so little in Testing and QC because they have learned there are many of us that will buy new, shoddy stuff and spend the time to help get the bugs out that they don't have to bother - just get it out there and all of us dummies will gobble it up..

I am with you in feeling like the beta (or even alpha) tester - it doesn't take that much effort to discover bugs, glitches, inadequate user interface features, sync problems, etc., usually an hour or two with a new device is more than enough for me.

Maybe our expectations about converged devices are way too high. I know I compare the phone part to my old cell phones and without exception think: "Why did they leave out that feature?" or "Why doesn't this work?", "Why is the RF so lousy?", etc. And do exactly the same thing with the PDA part. I really don't think we will ever see a converged device that is as good as two very good separate devices - at least with the present set of OS developers and hardware manufacturers. Their mindset simply won't allow it.

But for me, I like my KJAM very much and even though I hate some of its problems and dumb implmentations, I would never go back to seperate devices. I think my frustrations are more with my feeling that with a little more effort things could be a lot better. And with the prices we pay I think we deserve that effort.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Ineedtoys:
This could not be more wrong. From direct experience of corporate network protection, WM 5's dependence on AS 4 is a Good Thing (which is why MS state it is a concession to Enterprise pressure). The move to use the standard IP stack means the network manager can regain control of who has access to his network and who doesn't. It puts an end to people connecting their PPC to their work PC and syncing over all the crap they have stored in their home PC, deliberately or otherwise. That includes virus infected files in My Documents, porn, and pirated software/music/video. Or just personal information that in hindsight they rather we didn't see. Millions is invested in protecting corporate networks and this has been long been comprimised by PDA users (on all platforms) "innocently" syncing their personal devices. It's not just one sided - it protects the user against accidentally loading something onto the corporate network that could instantly lead to dismissal under most corporate network usage/abuse policies.

There's no unforeseen "bug", or technical reason why AS4 doesn't work with a firewalled PC. It just needs the appropriate policies setting by the firewall administrator (be that personal or corporate). That's how it should be.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fmcgirt:
I got tired of the random misbehavior of ActiveSync 4.1 (Official Version) via USB and decided to try a Bluetooth connection using the instructions under the Help Menu. No problems setting it up, connecting or syncing so I think BT is the way to go for me from now on.

Frank

EDIT - Still having problems!!! Faster connecting but still slow "Looking for Changes", hanging, etc. Soft reset sometimes required.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Dox:
Although it's annoying, as I can't affect the firewall policy on my work PC, I have to concede it does offer a way to close a big hole in corporate security...

I don't agree with that though. It should be the case, but in my case (on my own PC), with all the correct policies in place, AS4.1 still refuses to connect until I actually unload the firewall completely. If I set the f/w to "Allow All", it still won't sync. The logs show no packets being rejected, so it should work. The comments on the MS ActiveSync help pages suggesting users may have problems with VPN clients and other applications that slot themselves into the protocol stack suggests that one or both parties are using coding techniques/functions that aren't as robust as they could be and have left, in my case at least, something that looks like a "bug". When it does work smoothly, and I can petition our IT people to amend the corporate policies and maybe open up AS over SSL for my GPRS connection, it'll save them having to shell out for as many Blackberries for people who've already paid for their own devices...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chiark:
I'd love that to be right, but it's really appearing that it isn't. Sygate Security Agent just doesn't seem to be compatible. When set to "pass all traffic", it doesn't work, and when I manually configure around every blocked piece of traffic, it still doesn't work.

Weird...

If you have any suggestions for what else I can do to get this working then I'd really be grateful for them.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tdodd:
I got my MDA Vario on 5th November. It's my first PPC/WM device ever, after owning a Palm T3 for two years and Psion 3c and Revo before that.

For me, ActiveSync 4.0 (supplied with the Vario) has worked smoothly and flawlessly right out of the box over USB and BT connections. I've now upgraded to the new official 4.1 release and that is just as reliable. I'm syncing with my personal laptop running Win XP Pro SP2 and all MS Windows updates.

I have the standard Windows firewall enabled, NOD32 AV and MS Antispyware Beta for my system protection. As I use a NAT router with SPI I think I have enough protection to not need any further/alternative firewalls running.

I haven't added much software to the Vario, just....

SPB GPRS Monitor supplied with the Vario;

Mapopolis mapping and route planning;

Ghisler Total Commander;

Eidos Tomb Raider.

It is all working just fine :-)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chiark:
I think it's generally well accepted that AS works fine as long as you're not running anything strange (and by strange, I mean "non-Microsoft" ;) ) on the firewall front. Unfortunately some of us are :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tdodd:
Chiark, fair enough, I understand that. But I question why people feel the need to run alternative firewalls. I understand they stop "phone home" type contacts, which a NAT router won't, nor Windows firewall, but I feel it is enough to be protected from external attacks and to let my AV and anti-spyware take care of the trojans and worms.

But each to his own, I suppose.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] chiark:
Windows Firewall is not popular with a lot of corporations... My company has decided on Sygate Secure Agent and has deployed it to over 30,000 employees. They're not going to change as a result of an incompatability with AS4!

The point is that MS needs to be working hard to correct this fault, and address the issues in the above posts.

Anyone having any issues with Google Voice? I set mine up, and it wasn't working and I realized that I had to change the forwarding numbers from within the calling app, so I did that, and it was fine for a few days, but now it's not working again...advice, thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pbelcomp:
I had to delete my Note II in Google Voice, then re-add it as the Note 3.

Verify the code that it calls you with and hit the Activate Google voicemail on this phone link, which will give you the long code to put in.

It worked after I did this.

First of All... Credit Goes to [MENTION=549639]digiblur[/MENTION] - I used his guide to make this work for the Note3. Original Thread is Here!

Please give thanks/credit if you use this in your ROM

- Donations are also appreciated!

This mod will remove the full battery notification. I wanted to start this thread for a discussion with a few of the other dev's input on how they did this one as well. When I implemented this a while back users stated it made the background go black and the system status bar was missing after a factory reset. I found this odd due to this change being almost impossible to cause the issue but I backed the change out temporarily. I haven't had time to investigate further. What have your results been?

Decompile SystemUI.apk

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] noob_2010:
Ok so got the htc one x off Craigslist. One click Rooted it. So I wanted to change the boot up logo to tmobile. So I flashed a zip file called "flash boot" then it restarted to the AT&T logo and sits there..... I tried going to hboot and it says sd failed. Ummm I did factory restore and erase cache and erase . I'm now looking into the whole RUU thing but I can't find any LInkS to a RUU file.

So the problem is it keeps booting up but stuck at the AT&T logo. I can enter recovery mode.

Rooted
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If you did a factory reset in bootloader it's corrupted your sd card, you'll need to mount it in recovery and format it in Windows to get it working again. Are you s-on or s-off? Do you have SuperCID? If you're s-on and have SuperCID and run a jb RUU you'll brick the phone. So I'd suggest formatting the sd card, copy a ROM across and flash it and you should be fine.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Do you mean the all-in-one tool? Because a one-click root hasn't existed since firmware 1.82.

RUU link is easily found in my Index thread, sticky at the top of General. But as timmaaa stated, you need to be careful, since if you are S-on and SuperCID, the Jellybean RUU will brick you.

And you should always make a nandroid before flashing anything. This alone would have prevented the situation you are currently in.

I am an average photographer, with some variety of cameras at hand.

I got my OneX the last tuesday, because I read so much about its camera, and of course in my budget. It came with 4.1.2 and Sense 4+. The camera at that time really sucked. There was pretty much digital noise on even the bright photos, and not to mention grain. I fiddled with the settings, but to no avail. The noise and grain was still there.

Being a ROM-aholic, I went for ARHD 31.3 to start with. The same result. And I'm now beginning to think that cnet and all are pretty rosy in reviews. I have to do pretty heavy editing to photos from OneX, and have to forgo a lot of detail. My brother's got HTC amaze, and its really amaing at photos. tell me if I'm missing out something, or does the OneX really suck.

BTW, I haven't tried other AOSP ROMs and might, if I get the slightest hint that they have better camera results.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
sense roms are having the best camera quality...and try a mod pack from lyapota or lesscro and there is a fix for the cam...but there is also a standalone mod for cam for better results..
[HTC One X] alicarbovader:
Sense ROMs tend to have greater saturation, and hence greater digital noise in them. AOSP ROMs do lack better results, but digital noise is absent in them. Where in Sense I got to do huger editing to remove noise and preserve details, in AOSP ROMs, I get to edit the colour curves for proper colours and temperature. Wish that the digital noise would have some solution. I am loving my OneX, after Superchraging it, and ARHD ROM, its like a wild crazy, oversensitive beast, ready to lash out on even the slightest touch. :D

Recently been getting battery drain while on Idle. This drain I tend to notice at night. My phone can idle duriing the day but does not drain battery.

I recently disabled Android system IQ agent .. and it seems to have helped at night after rebooting and stopping that service.

I also noticed when you go to task manager and go to settings there is an option to stop services. I checked Facebook (51 services wth). Google Play Books , Magazines, and Movies\TV. I also checked Google play services (65 services).

Believe it or not my phone seems to be running fine and my battery life is a lot better.

Now I set my brightness at 47% (not auto), Google Now is enabled with Wifi and mobile location. Google backup is enabled (most are unchecked including app data) Email is manual sync.

[Sony Smartwatch 2] turnturn1225:
So I bought my Smartwatch 2 a few weeks ago (imported it from the UK) and it's great, the only problem is that it interferes with bluetooth music streaming and bluetooth call quality. I have a 2012 Chevrolet with bluetooth for calls and for media streaming, and I have not had any issues with streaming content over bluetooth until I purchased the Smartwatch. I also have an LG G2 on Verizon, and I thought that might be causing the issue, so I isolated the true cause; when I turn off the watch while playing music, the quality instantly improves. Also when I make or receive any calls in my car the quality is so tremendously bad that I can not understand a word of what the other person is saying. If I switch back to the normal handset via the in call menu on my phone, the call quality improves again.

Am I the only one out there with issues like this? And If not, has anyone found a way around this issue or know of what should be done?

(I know this isn't a Q&A forum, but I was not able to locate a section for Q&A on the smartwatch)
