hi, i have a interesting problem:

i tried to connect my i-mate with active-sync via usb, it didn´t work,(although it worked before) so i connected it via infrared. it connected and installed automatically the vito sound explorer, which still was in the install cue from active sync.

then active sync wanted to set a new partnership and told me to name it pocket pc 2 , because: "there is another partnership with another computer". i clicked on "next" in the dialogue and active sync 4.1 freezed. on the universal the install notification "vitosound successlully installed" freezed too.

when i restart the universal now, it hangs with the i-mate logo, with the softkeys "select" and "exit" in the lower panel and the normal today screen upper panel.

i don´t want to hard reset, because i have a lot of new dates and contacts, which aren´t synchronized...

can anybody help me?

greetings

phil

i have the newest i-mate version.

I have a chip the size of a point of a pen on the side chrome bezel. I have no case because Im waiting for my UAG and Spigen case to arrive. Im still within my 14 day return period. I thought about actually taking it back to get a replacement due to the small blemish, although, I admit it's kind of silly to exchange the phone for something so small. It just sucks that my baby is not perfect any more. Knowing I have an opportunity to exchange it, I just might. How many of you would exchange it for a new one for something so small?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkillershots:
i wouldn't
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I would not.

But, since it is already bugging you enough to ask people's opinion about it now, you'll probably come to regret it eventually if you don't.

I have this too! Mine was like this from the factory. Was pretty upset when I saw it even though it's so minor. Thought about doing the same thing but I don't think it's really worth the trouble. But let me know how it goes if you do
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outkast22:
my note just fell off the night stand onto tile with no case. I will be exchanging it tomorrow. lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breach:
If I find a defect or blemish on a new phone, that was a manufacturing issue, I may return it for replacement. If I caused the issue and it was minor, I'd ignore it because a case will hide it anyways.

If it was a serious damage... cracked screen, etc.. and it was my fault, I'd just pay the insurance to get it replaced.

Note: I'd also be more descriptive in my subject/title if you want to get more response.. Instead of "would you?" I would have put "Would you return your Note 3 if it has a blemish?"
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantom305:
I would, why star with something that is already damaged specially being that this phone is so expensive ....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellrama:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you've just admitted it's not a defect but it fell off your night stand onto the tile with no case. This would indicate physical damage so unless you have a flawless return policy, you may be out of luck. I know in Canada, if this were the case, we would be told to suck it up and be stuck with a device we would need to sell privately or wait before we're entitled to a hardware upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breach:
The point is.. he didn't 'start' with a damaged phone. He dropped it and didn't have a case on it. I have a cheap $3 case on mine, until the case I want comes out. If you don't protect your phone and you drop it, it's your fault, not the manufacturers. That's my opinion anyways.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outkast22:
I have noticed the phone runs very warm sometimes when its just sitting in my pocket. I called at&t and they said to return it since Im still within 14 days.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragnarkov:
GL with this. Let us know if your successful or not.

I dropped mine on concrete from about 1.5 feet up. Very little damage on the side, which I could EASILY live with.

Sadly, the entire display died slowly over a 24hr period. I kid you not, I could almost see the screen slowly die. Inside, I was crying.

But it was my fault, and almost got laughed out of the store when I tried to get insurance on it /facepalm.

Now I'm in the market for a full screen/digitizer/front assembly housing. And the phone isn't even 1 month old! /cry

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I'm sorry but isn't that what insurance is for? Doesn't matter if you drop the phone in the toilet, you can still get a replacement, otherwise why have insurance in the 1st place, if the damage is from before you got it or Samsung's fault isn't that what the warranty is for....

Man I'm on the Otterbox Defender's notification list for when it becomes available. But I still dumped $20 on a screen guard and a crappy gel case at purchase. Solid investment for the short-term, and I even have replacement insurance. Sorry but I can't even fathom the amount of rage I'd have at myself for being in that predicament. I like to keep my stuff in mint condition for resale when it's time to upgrade.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Limeybastard:
Not worth the hassle as you might end up with a new unit with other characteristics, like wonky home button or gaps around the glass.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outkast22:
Not much of a hassle at all. Plus this unit does two things that the first did not.

1. After I took a screen shot, it would not automatically copy to clipboard.

2. When I hit a key on the keyboard it would not show a large letter to show what key I was hitting, even though I had the option turned on.

3. This unit has plastic around the parameter, like a protector that Im not going to peel off.
[Sony Xperia L] unlocked01:
Hello,

I've got an Xperia L and have the latest firmware installed (15.0.a.2.17). No issues so far except that I've noticed the phone only plays a few seconds of a Live Channel in YouTube then freezes. I've tried with and without the YouTube update.

All other YouTube videos that are played are totally fine. It is just ANY Live Channel in YouTube...it just doesn't work. It'd be nice to know if anyone else is having this problem.
[Sony Xperia L] neville20_dabreo:
try to clear the cache and the data from the app menu. and then play live channels. It should work. :p i guess
[Sony Xperia L] unlocked01:
Thanks for replying but that doesn't do anything. I've now updated to firmware 15.3.A.0.26 and the issue persists.

The only thing that works is if I downgrade to an older firmware like 15.0.A.1.31 or 15.0.A.1.36.

I'd just like to know if others have the same problem. Can anyone with an Xperia L please try playing a Live Channel in YouTube for more than 60 seconds and see if it freezes? The issue is with firmware 15.0.A.2.17 and newer...at least for me it is.

This popped up on my phone after a reboot and won't go away. It's constantly on the home screen, and only disappears when I'm in an app. Also, holding the power button turns off the phone instead of giving me an option prompt.

Hello everyone. A few days ago i flashed my at&t htc one x to the T-mobile 4.2.2 rom but in became unstable, it was rebooting by itself sometimes and loosing signal so i tried to flash the kernel first to BeastMode 3.5 but the wifi and and signal stoped working, so than i tried the elementalX and the phone wont boot up after that so now i reflashed the t-mobile rom and the wifi works great and the phone signal has all the bars but i cant make or recieve call. If someone call me, this shows up: com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly ad if i try to make call this other one shows up: com.android.htcdialer has stopped unexpectedly. also, sometimes says preparing sim card.

Can anyone help me up with this problem? i don't know what to do. Thanks :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Have you recently changed recovery? This issue usually happens after switching from CWM to TWRP. If so, do this:

Flash CWM touch

fastboot erase cache

Flash cwm older NON touch

fastboot erase cache

Flash twrp 2.6

fastboot erase cache

Factory reset IN TWRP 2.6

Then wipe everything and flash

Don't think I'm crazy, because I DID manage to do it. Everyone says that Wubi isn't available for an installation of 13.04, but really it is. Not sure if this is official, but here goes:

Download an Ubuntu ISO disk image, and extract the contents using an archive manager.

There should be a "wubi.exe" in the root of the disk image contents. Run the program, and configure regular Wubi settings as per normal. Everything should install well.

Once it's done, it'll say you should reboot now or you can reboot later. Your PC will automatically boot into Ubuntu once you reboot.

Ubuntu will install itself alongside Windows (it should actually just install in a folder called ''ubuntu'' on the root of your Windows hard drive) without any danger of ruining your precious data.

TL;DR: Extract wubi.exe from an Ubuntu 13.04 image.
[Off-topic] zyrzox:
Congratulations!

For some real fun, you should try installing it as a stand-alone OS on a different disk/partition and customize your own boot menu!

Either way, enjoy your Ubuntu experience...
[Off-topic] Codename13:
I've tried that before, but I messed up my bootloader. I'd much rather use Wubi as it is safer, and easier to remove. Their are also some hacks to increase the Wubi disk size (even more than 30 GB). I think that newbies to Ubuntu would much prefer trying out Ubuntu with Wubi, so please refrain from your harsh sarcastic remarks. This thread, after all, is just to show that there is Wubi for Ubuntu 13.04 (and possibly for newer or upcoming versions).
[Off-topic] zyrzox:
I'm saddened that my comments were interpreted as being harsh and sarcastic. I was merely encouraging you to further broaden your technical horizons by installing Ubuntu utilizing a more advanced technique, which is [also] quite gratifying once you get it working. I'm a big fan of Ubuntu and have it installed on all of my machines for when I get the urge to tinker.

I know the pain of botching your bootloader, I've done that myself more times than I can remember over the years and yes, it definitely sucks! Now I use NeoSmart's EasyBCD to customize my boot menu and I haven't had any problems for a very long time.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] pztrixwsup:
I pretty much screwed my phone so bad, and I can't seem to the find any solution anywhere...

Here's what I did in order:

-tried rooting it with this guy's guide [link taken down since im a new member, but it's on htconeroot dot com//htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux/]

[keep in mind it's S-On with HBoot 1.55]

-found out TWRP wasn't updated so I replaced it with a newer one (2.6.3)

-now rooted device

-wanted to restore to normal stock settings so I downloaded the

Guru Reset M7 1.26.502.15

and put it in my root folder

-went to recovery to install the guru reset ZIP

-things install, but touch screen doesn't work

problems now:

-can't turn off phone on main screen (tried holding down power, but doesn't restart phone past the 3 second mark)

-can't boot into bootloader from restart

-ruu doesn't work

can anyone provide me with help? please and thank you

EDIT: few things to keep in mind

-everytime i use RUU 3.17.502.3, it loads up black screen with HTC logo int he middle, then I can turn off the phone.

-when loading up, i can load into bootloader

-when choosing recovery/factory reset, it brings up the software update screen, but then goes to red triangle

-at red triangle screen, i can reboot system through android recovery system.

-back at square 1, touch screen doesn't work, etc.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hack14u:
All I can say is that I am in the same waters, phone stuck in bootloop, or goes to triangle of death, and PC WILL NOT recognize phone at all so without driver support, I am screwed too.

Added: All I did was unlock through HTCDev, and all hell broke loose, loaded up AIO, and phone freaked upon flashing TWRP. 1.55 HBoot, 4.3 ATT update.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] pztrixwsup:
Here's a solution:

-get into bootloader mode

-fastboot

-plug usb in

-open cmd, then get to where your HTC One rooting stuff is (for example, everything was in a folder on my desktop)

-type "fastboot oem lock"

-your phone should say "relocked"

-open the latest RUU you have

-run things normally

that's how i fixed mine, lemme know if you have any more questions.

i also don't know why your phone has to be "relocked" in order to update it's software.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hack14u:
A thousand thanks, you are my new hero! And if you run the RUU, then go back and re-unlock the bootloader, it only says "unlocked" not tampered.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] EsJayEs:
That's why we need to wait for the issue with Rumrunner S-off for our phones to get squared away. So we can flash other carrier or older software.

---------- Post added at 06:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 PM ----------

Has anybody had success with Rumrunner for 3.17.502.3 yet? I have been hitting a wall and am not the only one. The phone is freezing on adb at test 2.1. We have tried flashing the RUU and doing it again, but it fails every time in the same way.

Here's what I get:

!! Do NOT for any reason taunt, unplug, drop, eat or pet your device !!
Please wait....

Checking for updates......
Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
My history with phones has been CDMA for over 15 years. Only now have I made the jump to T-Mobile and GSM. So I'm not familiar with how roaming is supposed to work.

The way I understand it works on CDMA is that the PRL file contains the list of preferred towers. When you are near a home network tower, your phone uses that tower. When home network is not available, but a compatible network is, your phone will roam to that network. Then with edits to the PRL or apps like Roam Control, you can force your phone to roam on another network (to the dismay of your provider).

With GSM I find that there is no app like Roam control. Is this true? But built into the settings, I see that you can scan for available networks. So I've done this and ATT is in the list. If I try to switch to ATT, it tries to register on ATT, but then gives some warnings and then tells me that it can't connect. Why is this? Is it just my phone or are do they all behave this way?

I've been in areas with the N3 where T-Mobile has no network (not even E or G) and the phone stays without a network connection. It does not pick up ATT when I see people with ATT service able to access data just fine.

Am I doing something wrong? How does this roaming on ATT work?

(if it matters, I'm on the stock rom rooted de la Vega)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
It doesn't pick up ATT because the sim card you're using is a Tmobile one. You need an ATT sim card to use ATT service. GSM is not like CDMA in that way. If you have no Tmobile connection, you have no connection, there's no way around it.

Another reason that ATT doesn't work is that the phone is locked to tmobile's network. You cant use straighttalk, or at&t with it unless you get the unlock code.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
Wait, wait, wait....

I was told that a difference between a pre and post paid plan was the ability to roam. This is domestic roaming, not international. So my assumption is that means when I look at a coverage map and see areas that are labeled as "service partner", this is where T-Mobile has agreements to poach off of ATT's network. So this wouldn't be available to prepaid customers, but should be to post paid. Isn't that true?

On CDMA, when I roam from Sprint to Verizon, there is an indicator that tells me I'm on a roaming connection. I still have service, it may be throttled, but service nonetheless. What happens when I go to a T-Mobile "Service Partner" area. Does it tell me that I'm roaming, or does it still say it is a T-Mobile connection? And shouldn't it connect automatically? And would it only roam on those "Service Partner" towers or would it pick up ATT in a T-Mobile area where T-Mo's connection sucks (say in a building where ATT works and T-Mo doesn't)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
It will use the "Service Partner" network which (you're right) is usually AT&T but can be other smaller carriers as well.

This is the part that you're confused on. Tmobile will never do that. It will only switch to a partner network where tmobile has agreements to do so. So if you're in a building in San Francisco and there is no tmobile coverage, but there is ATT coverage, you're stuck with no service. But If you're in Montana, there is no Tmobile service but tmobile has an agreement with ATT to use their service, it would use it then.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
I was afraid that was the answer. So instead of being controlled tower by tower on the device itself (with a PRL like CDMA), it is controlled tower by tower on the towers themselves?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
Yeah but to be honest though in most areas its going to allow roaming because of the fact that there is a big metro area or widely known or h re any coverage area. Everywhere I've gone that I was roaming on AT&T network AT&T was big in that area. Like for example upstate New York its pretty much either Verizon or AT&T and I was roaming on AT&T near Dansville, Arkport, Etc... Buffalo and Rochester area great when it came to LTE.

https://t-mobile.jive-mobile.com/#jive-document?content=/api/core/v2/documents/3299
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hdad2:
But did those areas have any T-Mobile service at all? I was hoping that roaming meant att would pick up the T-Mobile holes around me (big holes in buildings). From what I'm learning, that will never happen. Unless there is some sort of trickery that can accomplish this I don't know about....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XxLostSoulxX:
In some areas I was getting edge, in other parts it would have no service at all and it would roam on AT&T.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aooga:
No, sadly there is no trickery or anything that can be used to roam on AT&T when Tmobile hasn't partnered with them.
