[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Yes the 12 pin is better, but unless you've got the factory charger, go for a quality higher amperage one like the generic dual purpose type that can be used with a tablet. These beasts draw a lot of current, so much so that when plugged-in and used with a lesser charger, it will still be draining its battery.

Even though it's for your mom I'd still root it and install Titanium Backup. Then I'd remove the T-Mobile and HTC bloat, some of which never worked, or no longer works. Then after removing the cruft, I'd install every available update then integrate them into '/system/app' with TiBu. Finally, I'd unroot and relock it, to avoid the late night service calls she'd give you if she accidentally messed with something she shouldn't have. Then you'll be good to go.

I did this very same procedure when I hooked my mom and stepdad up with smartphones last year. They both were new to these devices. They previously owned moto RAZRs. They live outside of Memphis and I live in Miami. The one thing I feared in getting them Androids vs iPhones were the possible late night tech calls from them. So I did for them exactly what I told you and they've been happy owners ever since.

I hope this helps.

That sounds like a good plan.

Any specific charger you recommend or anything listed for HTC tablets etc should do the trick from ebay?

Looks like THIS should work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
It should work. I bought my amaze off Craig's list after I broke my HD2. I got it relatively cheap ($100), but it had no charger or data cable. I thought no big deal, I'll just use the HD2's. Thats when I discovered how much this juice uses. The HD2 charger just wasn't up to the task. I kept getting warnings about the current draw being too much and the device was unable to charge.

I wanted to resolve that right away. So I went to Best Buy and overpaid for a generic one with the highest amperage output they had. It's rated at 2.4 amps, I think my old one was rated at 0.8. You don't have to worry about too much amperage because of the regulator in the phone. Plus by getting the one I did, I figured I'd be equipped for any type of device I might throw at it in the future. That in combination with the 12 pin cable has worked for me. Now I can do even the most intensive task while plugged in and it never gives me a warning anymore about my device being unable to charge. I hope this helps, good luck!
[HTC Amaze 4G] shaolin95:
The charger I got is rated like the original 5v 1Amp but the cable is surely not doing the job. Still I will just get that charger and call it a day.

Thanks amigo! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewwy:
Hi all,

Recently got my girlfriend to switch from iphone to a Sony Xperia Z1. Now, on her old iphone, she had an app called "iBooks". Basically, this let her open a multitude of document types while providing her with a snazzy bookshelf view.

Now, on her current phone, she can get something like Aldiko to give her the bookshelf view...but it doesn't open microsoft word documents.

Is there an app for android that looks good and also can open a wide range of file types?

Thanks :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] andacro:
Thank you for the new rom! Going to try it. :)

Edit: Very smooth, but 1st time loading the camerapp it takes a long time. When exiting it and loading it again the camera is unavailable.

Wiped cache and data after first boot.

Had to install CWM.

Edit2: Tried the camera again, and somehow it works now, but loads slow. Getting a dialog if I want to wait or close it. Pops up after the app has loaded though.

Seems root is given to all apps that requests it. No root options in settings as I can find.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fone_fanatic:
When i press the call button nothing happens, it doesn't go to my call log. Even when i click start, phone nothing happens. Contacts won't even open up. it started yesterday when i recieved text messages from people in my contat list but their names wouldn't show up, just their numbers. Also when my call log did work, i would scroll to a number and press call several times nothing would happen, even when i click and hold And scroll to call.

So whats the solution? Hard-reset?

oh ya, i'm on the latest imate rom and radio
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ScottC:
Did you install Resco Keyboard by any chance? Same happened to me when I installed that...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
You did not say if you recently installed any new programs etc.. that might of caused it. Probably yes you will need to do a hard reset. Remember to backup favorites & start menu /windows (this will save you doing most reinstalls of programs on your storage card) and pim.vol (contacts/appts) in the root directory if you don't have them on your pc.

I can reset device this way in 30 mins or so ;)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fone_fanatic:
well, in the past 3 days i installed 6 or more apps, pocket streets, world mate, pocket sudoku, warfare inc, spacetime 2, wm torrent, and more. I wasn't gonna sit there and go through each app to figure out the culprit, so i just hard reset. but befoer the hard reset i did a restore from a spb backup i did earlier and it was acting all funny after the restore, every 30 secs or so it would make that sound when you first turn your device on, or right after you hard reset where it says "welcome to windows, tap screen to begin" or whatever.

Anyways, just hard reset and everythings good now..thanks for the help those who comented.

rom building

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flyers09:
I have an old T-Mobile myTouch 3G Fender with the 3.5mm jack (32A, according to bootloader). I have a renewed interest in getting it up and running again. I don't intend to use it as a phone as I have an S3 as my daily driver.

Nevertheless, I'd still want to play around with different ROMS on this device and see how far I can take things. Unfortunately, it seems like I've already taken it to its limit. I have 106 tabs open in Chrome and have already stayed up far too late in the night these past couple of days trying to make things work.

Initially, the phone was working (albeit very poorly). I decided to hunt for a reliable, stable, no-frills ROM. I found one that needed RA-sapphire-v1.7.0. Before updating the recovery, I thought it would be a great idea to wipe the phone. Following this guide, I nearly downloaded the appropriate recovery. Instead of downloading the G version, I downloaded the H version. So now I have a ROM-less device with a recovery that won't boot and does nothing more than display the HTC Magic splash image. At least I have access to my bootloader!

But both fastboot and hboot seem to be completely useless. I am consistently getting the "not allow" error message whenever I try to use the flash or boot commands through my computer. I've tried using hboot by creating sappimg.zip files with the correct recovery.img and placing them on a 4GB Kingston Goldcard (which I set up using my S3. I've read that Kingstons tend to work more often than not), but it doesn't do anything. I've tried throwing in a Engineering SPL (named hboot.img) into the sappimg.zip file. Nothing. It reads the sappimg.zip file and loads it, but right after it says 'Checking file...', it just stops. No errors, nothing. The system isn't crashing, per se: the screen just clears and displays the hboot menu as if you had just booted into it, as if you never told it to do anything.

Here's some info about the device:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.0013 (SAPP31000)
CPLD-13
RADIO-2.22.23.02
Oct 21 2009,22:33:27

I think it would be possible to fix this if fastboot was working properly. But I can't use fastboot because I don't have a Eng SPL. And I can't seem to find out how to install it using hboot.

Any way out of this mess?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pmerced:
You can try to restore to stock by copying a sappimg.zip file (a type of operating system image) to the root of the sdcard, then start in bootloader mode and it should recognize the file and let you update the phone's rom to stock.

This is the sappimg for sapphire pvt 32a build 2.10.531.4

http://www.4shared.com/zip/CgyRRX4O/stock-sappimg.html]stock-sappimg.zip

Just rename it to sappimg.zip and copy to the root of the sdcard
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flyers09:
This one seems to at least go past the "checking.." stage. But it says that it's an older version. Is there a way to trick it into thinking it is a newer version?

Secondly, what is it about this particular .zip file that it works? Can I just replace the hboot.img found within this file with a unperfected version?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] flyers09:
Well, here's a new discovery I've made. I can unzip the sappimg.zip files no problem; however, once I've made the changes I've deemed necessary and after I've re-archived them, the bootloader will not go further than the "checking.." stage.

I've tried it with the stock image file above. I initially tried using the bare, unmodified file. It did get past the "checking" stage but it gave me an error message stating the main version is older. I then tried unzipping the file and immediately re-archiving after making no modifications. Theoretically, it should be the exact same file that produces the same results. But it doesn't: same problem as above. It won't proceed past the "checking."

Both Mac (via the "zip" command at the command line) and Windows (via WinRAR) have been attempted. I must be missing some sort of advanced archiving setting.

Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] pmerced:
Sorry to hear it didn't work my suggestion. I think that the older version rejection is the problem to solve to bring back the operation of the phone.

I read somewhere that there is a way to extract the files contained in the sappimg from a RUU update file, but the latest version I found is the same of the file I suggested. Maybe if you can find a later one then you could make a sappimg.zip from there. Make sure the files are intended for the specifications in the HBOOT screen: specially 32A and matching radio with hboot, otherwise you may brick the phone.

The problem with modifying and repacking is that the file has to be signed with HTC keys and those are almost impossible to find out unless you have a high rank job in HTC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mouthymotor:
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 rooted and running the Darthstalker S4 Rom. I recently got an ATT sim card to put into my device because they were second best with the signal where I live. Which is the US. What I want to know, Is there a way to get 4G or 4G LTE on my device with ATT? I know 4G is here because my cousin is with them and has 4G LTE. Ive tried a few APN settings to no avail. Also every once in awhile I completely lose service because it starts searching for a service to run on again. All I get is H or H+ and half of the time, I dont even get that. That data never really works on that. Especially H. Also, I never get 3G either. Sorry if this is long, Im just at an end where I cannot find an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
Try flashing the latest Modem, it seems to to support the ATT LTE Bands. I have used an AIO sim in both a VZW GS4 and LG G2 and both get LTE. It doesn't seem to switch very quickly either. Also make sure you are have LTE/GSM selected for the radio.

My 2 cents
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mouthymotor:
rinkde post

Could you point me into the right direction? Also, I can only choose GSM, or LTE. Not both at the same time. And GSM only works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] equake:
Kinda dependent on the ROM but you might want to use the APP called Advanced Signal Status (Play Store).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CovXX:
From memory you can't since this model dosent support the other carrier's LTE/4g band. May be wrong but pretty sure that info is correct

And the price has been announced... $300ish. Screen is 1920*1200. So the screen looks wider than a 1920*1080 phone therefore more like a tablet screen than a phone screen. On the other side, it's got a slim bezel, unlike most tablets. :)

Look at the size of the hisense x1........anything bigger then the mega to me may just be my limit as a phone ..

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] megalomanic14:
I could do a larger screen than the mega...The problem is, it's the body of the phone and the bezels on these other devices that make it unreasonable to carry, making them essentially mini tablets. Samsung is the only manufacturer to date that has perfected the mix of design and body size, with their tiny bezels yet keeping structural integrity in tact. I saw the hisense from the ces release and it's nearly an inch longer than the mega for very little screen size increase. It's about the length of a nexus 7 which Imo I am way to large to pocket, whereas the mega is pretty much the perfect size of length and width. The mega is by far the best looking designed phone I've ever seen, I love the proportions.

Really I couldn't find any on eBay. How much did you see them for? What did you search for?

The only place I can find them is Apex Laptops and they want £95 for one!

Mine is a bit beat up now and contract is nearly out so I'd like to smarten it up before selling it.

If you look on the wiki there are some pictures of the inside but I don't think there are any instructions. I tend to just unscrew stuff and sellotape the screws to some paper with little diagrams of where they came from.

There is a detailed document at this forum with pictures on how to disassemble your phone. Should help you to get the cover off/on.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fluffcat1:
That's just for the front and back cover mind, no chassis. Quite like the look of the black one.

I bought some *blue* typhoon sp3 cases from them once - they weren't new or in great condition, chip marks where the casing had been prised open, and from the look of the foam surrounds around the screen they'd def. previously been fitted to a phone :evil:

Richard
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jwhitham:
Doh! I've already ordered one :-(

I don't think the lack of new chassis is a problem since the case is identical to my MDAC I shouldn't need a new chassis. But does mean it's quite expensive though. But still less than a third the price of Apex Laptops.

I'll post if it's in new or second hand condition when it arrives.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] experiment626:
Did you go for the dark housing.

I was lucky to get a late model MDA compact when I was out in china. Looks nice in the darker colour although I have started to use a black skin and some screen protectors as this phone really scratches easy.

I would like to see if the replacement cases are any good as well ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jwhitham:
I went for the silver one. I was tempeted by the black one but it's for selling not for me so better to stick with normal colour I think...

Also I see they have 87 of the sliver ones available so I think it's unlikley it will be used like the typhoon case was.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fluffcat1:
I've bought a black one. They have nearly 100 typhoon cases in each colour listed at any one time. Must cost them a fortune in ebay fees as no more than 10% of the listings sell!
