hi noob,

you also can use skype on your magician after you have synced your jam via bluetooth with your pc.

i use it and there is no problem. you also can use many apps like this if you sync your jam via bt with your pc

what do u think about t-mo compact II?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
hi serhataga,

what a great idea...didn't think of that one. will give it a go....kinda of using the mini as a headset.... :-D

The T-mobile MDA Compact II is the HTC Prophet (also sold as Dopod 818 Pro). I like to get my hands on one and test it for myself but unfortunately in Australia, O2 and i-Mate are the HTC resellers. No Dopod or MDA brands and buying from overseas will be a headache especially with warranties.

The biggest advantage of the MDA Compact II is that you can keep using your magician accessories with it, your cases, chargers, screen protectors, stylus etc. Also the camera is undoubtedly the BEST on any PPC to date. The CPU maybe a concern especially it's only running at 200MHz. It's fine for some users but for others it's just too slow. Best to test out a shelf display model at your local store before making a decision whether to buy.

If you are in Australia like me, you'll have to wait till i-Mate releases their version of Magician II.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
I think, at least in germany, the MDA compact 2 is based on the HTC Charmer, not the Prophet. The Charmer is kind of a bad joke, since it has the (yes, it definitely is) slower 200 MHZ OMAP CPU and no WLan or keyboard. This makes it a very bad choice if you ask me. The prophet hasn't been release in germany as well, same with the Atom, which seems to be the most interesting at the moment (what about the quality of its camera by the way?).
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
That's right Dandie, the MDA Compact II is not like the Dopod 818 Pro. It is basically the same as the Magician but has WM5 and the OMAP processor. The prophet has more hardware buttons, 2MP camera and WiFi 801.11g! The real Magician II!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Mvmajorem:
I love my Imate Jam to death. I will not sell it but maybe give it away to my wife cos I want it to stay in the family.

I have only two devices in mind to replace my Jam... it would either be the O2 Atom or the Eten M600.

I would prefer the Atom because of it's size and built-in radio. As for the M600, I would have it compete directly with HTC because of its affordable price and a different interface.

As for my Jam, I am a very proud owner and I am glad about the progress made to it to bring new life into it. From the Big Storage Rom to A2DP and improve BT. Despite being lagged of not being able to be moved to WM5, it sure is putting up a fight and that's what I like about it... being an underdog and coming out shining.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
I couldn't resist any longer and ordered a Dopod 818 pro from Expansys HK, in stock and very well priced!

The JAM is a beautiful device and the Prophet is based on it! Plus WM5, Wifi, much better camera and EDGE ...

As a side note, the 02 Atom was very tempting but the initial feedback from the people who bought it is not encouraging at all. On PPCSG forums, people who bought the Atom went back from their decision and changed it with the Prophet. The built quality of the Atom was not satisfactory, buggy software and sloooooow.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
kta, give us a review of the Dopod Pro in two weeks time as to its performance. Definitely want to know about the CPU performance.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
Sure, no problem :-)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
The Magician is the pioneer for a mobile phone/pda combo. You can't help but want it due to it's small size form factor. Forget about the Wizards and Universals...Magicians are the coolest PDA-Phones today

well..until the Dopod 818 Pro and E-Ten M600 take over
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] User22:
Hi mates, i'm going to break the line and will change to Nokia N70, less buggy and with fully funtional BT. ( F.O. Htc)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
I only have a Magician now but here is what I found from recent PDA phone

I think O2 Atom is a better replacement for Magician. It even smaller than Magician and has built-in A2DP and wifi. The only drawback is it use mini-SD and we have to give up our investment on SD card.

818 Pro doesn't have build-in A2DP yet (People said they will have it in the future but who knows....) Battery life of 818 Pro is better but people complaints about it's lagginng when running multiple programs. Also, Skype is not running very good on 818 pro.

Here is a benchmark test on various PDA phone: http://forum.mypdacafe.com/viewtopic.php?t=7796&sid=77e4cfd56835b0f3e33dc0da98fd7780 U may found Atom is not very attractive in the test. But for me, the 200mzh CPU of 818 Pro really worry me most....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Gtot:
Only one device will make me change :

The upcoming MIO Mitac A701 !!!

WOW.

Gtot
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
A2DP will defintely be available as this was comfirmed by Microsoft. AKU2.0 will have it!

I'm surprised you say this. Just look at the your own posted benchmarks, and the 416MHz on the Atom is not really a good alternative!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
Woohoo..E-Ten M600 killed 'em all at benchmark....

Atom's slowness could be a firmware issue but expect it to do better in tests 6 months time.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/4190.html

Wow the Mio PDA-Phone is to die for but only thing isthat it lacks Wi-Fi, but GPS is a good compromise.....it's also around the size of a Magician
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jackleung:
Yes. MS AKU 2.0 will have it but U still have to wait for HTC to finally release it.

If U just look at the CPU test alone (MFLOPS, MOPS and MWIPS), TI OMAP 850 always takes double the time to complete the test.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
Yes, that's true. But does the SPB Benchmark cater for dual core processors? I think overall the OMAP will give a slightly less performance but a much better battery life. There's no point having Wifi, etc and then you run out of battery half way through the day. It's a matter of finding the right balance I think.

People who own the Prophet did not complain about performance at all and some of them changed their Atom for a Prophet. With a decent task manager HTC Prophet will rock! And the main reason being that WE ARE NOT RACING processors here. It's the WHOLE design that makes it fast or slow.

If both processors were put on exactly the same platform, yes, the Xscale is faster, definitely. But comparing the whole design of the Atom and Dopod 818 Pro, the 818Pro is a winner. The Atom is the first PDA/Phone for Quanta so no surprises here really. We were all thinking that the first batch of the Atom may not be as stable and zippy as we want it to be.

And if the ETen M600 had a decent camera, EDGE, and was not so plasticy it would have been a clear winner on all fronts.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
My experience with the Magician tells me that HTC (Imate/Qtek/Dopod/T-Mobile) are always upfront with software updates. If it's not released by one, it's released by the other. That's why I chose the Prophet, because it's an HTC. Updates are coming from many sources not just one!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dgaust:
My magician does everything I want from a phone/pda combo in a great form factor.

The only thing that is a little annoying is the BT stack but I have solved most issues with a combination of the bluesoleil and enhanced MS stack (available from these forums).

If I was to upgrade in the future it would just be to update the phone because of usage and age, not for any functionality.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
E-Ten's camera is actually quite descent..no as good as the Prophet's but from sample examples sent in by users, it is good enough for every type photos.

The plasticky feel is not an issue at all. The LTSP screen + CPU is the big winner plus it is a Skype phone.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
Rumoured release of an E-ten G500 that is similar specs to the E-ten M600 but with built in GPS instead of Wi-Fi...it's still a 2.8" screen

Would you rather have built-in GPS or built-in Wi-Fi on your handheld given the option that you can't have both
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Dandie:
Wifi. GPS is usually only used in cars because the navigation maps aren't detailed enough for footwalks or bike trips. A BT mouse can also be carried with you if you really need it (in someone's elses car for example).

I would like to use Wifi more often but then you have to use the buggy SDIO cards which often make me do a softreset and slow down the system pretty much. Also they stick outside the case and you have to give up on your SD memory card while surfing.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Nutdhanai:
I have used my O2 Atom for a week now, and i must say the size, weight (its lighter than mini) and features really is getting on to me.. and so assuming that the speed is refined/fixed by future ROM upgrades and software enhancments (PHM) to the same speed standards as the Mini.. I really do believe O2 Atom is/will be a worthy upgrade from the O2 Mini.. 8)

Guys..dont buy the Dopod.. lol DO YOU want to be seen carrying a DO-POD!? LOL.. no way.. (kidding hehe..) :lol:

anyways, but thats a big assumption, i know.. im kinda of a faith person so i believe it will happen.. if you intend to use it as your main phone right away, dont buy it now because the phone part of the system is terrible.. too much lag and it causes frustration.. wait until better software releases have been ironed out.

My Mini is running super tip top right now (OvClked), lighting response so..it will be hard for this Atom to beat ;)

I have attached a picture of it with black silicon skin..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
Good news is that the latest firmware for Atom is coming out very soon..in Singapore, you can send your Atom to the O2 centre for a quick ROM upgrade to the newest firmware. Appears that after upgrade, phone runs much faster...no other details at present.

I thought for a minute about going back to nokia :shock: N90 looks quite nice.

But came to my senses. Probably going to go for a Motorola Q Razor (think that's what it's called) Always liked Moto design but HATE they're software. Plus, really want to go back to a phone with a keypad
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
I think 90% of the mobile phone market is dominated by Nokia and Motorola... I guess Microsoft's Windows Mobile Phone devices still have some catching up to do.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moose&beer:
I got a notification that I could install the 4.4 update, so I went ahead with installing it. After downloading the update, I got the android with a red triangle with an exclamation point in it, saying "error." I tried holding down power + volume up + volume down and selected "start." After that, I got a "no command" message with the android with a red triangle and exclamation point. I cannot reboot into recovery; trying to do so just brings me back to the "no command" message. I tried "rebooting bootloader" but that also just brought me back to the "no command" message. Powering down the device and restarting it also just brings me back to the "no command" message... If I just leave it on the "no command" message for a few minutes, it attempts to reboot but always just ends back up on the "no command" message. I don't know what to do.

Other information that may be relevant is that I was unlocked and rooted on 4.2, but updating to 4.3 caused me to lose root. I had TWRP as a custom recovery when I was on 4.2, but honestly am not sure if it stuck when I updated to 4.3.

Can anyone give me ideas for how to fix this and get my N10 back up and running? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2whisper:
Use a toolkit or fastest to flash stock image. Flashing recovery might work as well.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheekystew:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starkilling:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moose&beer:
I'd love to upload the 4.4 factory image, but I cannot even boot up the device. Later I'm going to try using the wugfresh toolkit to flash the 4.3 factor image and see what I can do from there.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stiggy2012:
If possible could you flash a custom recovery first, and backup the /cache partition? :laugh: :good:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sycobob:
I'm running into this problem as well. It's driving me nuts. I've flashed both the 4.2 and 4.3 factory images and no matter what I do I can't get to recovery. I either get "no command" or just the error Android with no text. Any tips would be hugely appreciated.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moose&beer:
I was finally able to fix my N10, so hopefully this can help you, too. I downloaded the latest version of Wugfresh's Nexus toolkit and was able to flash the 4.3 factory image. When I first did it, I still had the red exclamation android with no text, and thought the install failed, even though the tool said it was successful. (I should have been more patient and let it reboot on its own.) So I did the process over again, redownloading everything. After that went through, I still had the red exclamation android with no text, but just let it sit for about 30-60 seconds and it rebooted on its own. FINALLY, it booted up and everything works fine. I'm running stock unrooted at the moment. Now, the problem I have is that I cannot get the 4.4 OTA anymore!!! I guess I will have to keep waiting for the OTA.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sycobob:
Thanks for the follow up. Turns out, I'm just dumb. I was getting the Android with the ! most of the time, and "no command' for a little while, even after using Wugs to flash factory images and even doing it manually. The "no command" was most likely just a bad flash. The rest of the time there was nothing wrong at all. Turns out, to get to stock recovery you just have to tap Power + Vol-Up while at that 'Android with a !' screen. I was expecting it to go straight to recovery. Now I feel foolish.

EDIT: Then I just sideloaded the update from stock recovery. 4.4, woot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] josephnosack:
Hey guys, so I'm having some trouble with my Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4. Let me tell you what's going on.

A couple nights ago I was using my phone and it just SHUT OFF. No overheating, no water damage. At first I thought the battery had died, but then I remembered that I still had about 40% left before it shut off. Either way, I swapped out my battery with my fully charged one (I carry around a fully charge spare), but my phone still wouldn't turn on. When I got home, I plugged my charger into my phone and it vibrated, but the only thing that showed up on the screen was a grey battery cell and a little white loading circle icon, but the loading circle wasn't rotating or moving at all, just still. This would show up on my screen for about 30 seconds, and then go black, and then the phone would vibrate again and the same thing would appear on my screen. This cycle would just continue as long as the charger was plugged into the phone. The only other screen I could get to is the one that says "Odin Mode" at the top, and says "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!". I got to this screen by holding down the power button and volume down. Whenever I tried to hold down the power button and volume up to boot into "Recovery Mode", it would display the Samsung logo, and then shut off and go back to the battery cell and white loading circle cycle. Keep in mind that I can't get anything to display on the screen when the battery isn't plugged in.

I did some research and found that some other people have run into this issue before, and I've tried doing what worked for them, but no luck for me so far. I didn't really know a lot about what I was doing, but I followed directions very carefully. I've downloaded Odin for my computer, and I've downloaded a couple different firmwares from different sites. I've opened Odin, selected the firmware for PDA, and clicked Run, but each time I've tried this, I get something like:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

I keep on getting a FAIL.

Now, whenever I plug in my phone, I get a screen that says

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."

I don't see the battery cell and white loading circle anymore. Also I can still get to the page that says "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!"

Help me fix this please!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cresny:
The same exact thing happened to mine just two weeks ago. I tried many things to no avail. I was on CM10.2 at the time, was able to get to download mode ( pretty sure mine said "Download Mode", not"Odin Mode" ). I flashed stock, which for me was MDK, first with heimdall, them with Odin, no change. I ended up going to Verizon and they did a warrantee replacement, no problem.

I know it's a bummer, but it's probably hardware. I don't know why you're not able to flash, but were you using a factory tarfile? If not you should try that if only so that when you bring it back to Verizon you're back to stock even though I'm not sure it will make any difference given it won't turn on.

So sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings. For me at least there was a silver lining in that stock 4.3 seems to run much better thank CM10.2. Refurbs are all MDE(?) so I was able to root and the phone is working so well now I'm actually glad I can't flash! Also by the way I actually did two replacements as the first had a crappy Bluetooth antenna. Anyway good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] josephnosack:
Aw man...How do I get the factory tarfile so I can try that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] troysbama1:
I would make sure you're using a file which matches whatever you're on. If you were on ME1 and flashing MDK of course it's going to fail. I'm guessing you know that part. I would try using a different USB cable and different ports on your pc. For whatever reason, mine fails more than it's successful but eventually after 3 or 4 attempts it will complete successfully. It may not help in your case but it's worth a try if you have mdk. I even had one instance where I couldn't get Odin 3.09 to complete successful but installed 3.07 and it worked first try. The whole process seems to be very unstable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] josephnosack:
I actually don't know which file I am on right now...so if I could find out, I would match it and run that? I'm very new to all of this, and I don't really know what I'm doing.

Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] troysbama1:
How long have you had the phone and do you know when was the last OTA update you took?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] josephnosack:
I got the phone right around August 15, 2013. And the last update I did was probably a week before the phone stopped working, so around November 3rd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] troysbama1:
In that case it sounds like you were on 4.3 since that update came out around Nov 1. Which would mean there's only one file you're going to have any success with. If I was you I would go for a warranty replacement. If you were on mdk and trying to keep an unlocked bootloader then I would try everything imaginable but in your case there's really nothing to lose. You're going to lose your data either way and there's no guarantee this won't happen again in a week if it's hardware related. That's your call though so here are a couple links which should help you get the file and possibly have success installing.

If you look at your first post you tried installing ME7 but I'm fairly certain MJ7 is the only one that's going to work in your case.

That Odin file worked!! So thank you for that!!

But now the phone is back to when it first broke down. It's vibrating once, displaying the empty battery cell with the little white loading circle, and shutting off, and repeating.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] troysbama1:
You're gonna have to warranty replace it then. Odin takes you back to stock image so there must be a hardware issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] josephnosack:
Alright, thanks so much for the help. Do you think I'll run into any issues getting a replacement considering I've tried to root my phone before (but was unsuccessful)..? If so, what should I do before I bring it to verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You should be fine. Flashing the factory stock will have cleared the "Custom" flag, so even if they can get it to work, it'll look clean.

Hello guys!

As a long time user of the original Last.FM Scrobbler for Xperia I was a bit sad to find out I couldn't install it on my Xperia Z1, so I decided to get to work myself. After taking a peek at how the original app did things I created my own updated variant! It's been simplified since I didn't think Simple Last.fm Scrobbler and ScrobbleDroid are all that important. The way the official app does scrobbling is pretty nice so I always stick with that!

Install through Play Store

It's pretty simple. Install it, run it once, enjoy music! After that the official Last.fm app will be picking up scrobbles from the Walkman app perfectly!

Enjoy!
