Hello Joshua,

I have been given this address in the hope to have some improvements on the after sales service of your devices...I write you from Italy where I have bought 2 devices from I mate a Kjam and after a JasJar.

I first tell you that the competiton here with Qteck is strong, its price is lower but the decision I made to take an Imate was for its supposed after service sales and responsivness of the tech staff....if you spend more than 1400 € on devices which you use to work with, this is an important factor of selection I believe.

I am very happy with the 2 devices and I do not protest again problems or flaws they might have..this is technology this is accpted at least by me....what I kindly ask you to consider is how to help people who needs help with these devices. here some suggestion:

1)The online service does not work...or it works very little. The chances to get an operator are almost similar to win a lotery; right now I was posting a question after numerous attempt I get an operator , he answered me , I replied.....silence SESSION TIMEd OUT!! ....in my opinion you can take this service out and leave the VERY good email service...everytime I needed a help it worked perfect and quick...you can improve this by taking out resources from the online service b and form more technicians....there is nothing more disturbing than having a promise on something that eventually doesn't work!

2) Why not putting up an online service over the phone ? I had Palm before , in evry Country they had this service.You need to buy a card ( 10-15 €) and you have enough time t speak and explain your proble to "someone", if you have urgency matters...do not forget most of this people use these device to work!!!

3) I am in Italy. I do not know what happens if something goes wrong with my devices....shall I have to send it back to ....? no help in the imate site where to lovcate it .

4) More technical info available, please...I give you an example...I could not get MMS on my device...the online service told me to contact the service provider Vodafone that I did...they told me aftr numerous chat, converstaions, attempts, that it was a known issue that Imate was not working with Vodafone Italy.....strange enough!! I wrote to the technical imate dept, they sent me by email 4 pages of better expalnation on how to unable MMS service ( that is not EVIDENT AT ALL and not written in the manual provided wuth the device) and voila the thing flyes now over MMS.....Joshua, more documentation....I could , I would use VPN but I do not know how to handle it...more open literature on line would be of grea help.

I hope these can be at least read and if possible taken into consideration.

Have a good day.

Hello,

I've found club i-mate annoying. I run a small consulting company and we use several i-mate phones (rebranded and provided by a local carrier). I've tried to register some of these on club i-mate but keep being told the IMEI numbers are not valid (despite them being new and from a local carrier, T-mobile).

The club i-mate site is very difficult to use if you are not a member (a catch-22 in my situation) and location of email addresses/phone numbers bery difficult. It gives the impression that the company wants to have the benefit of selling the devices and increasing market penetration without the bother of having to actually deal with people who have bought them.

Hope you your dealings with HTC produce results,

Michael

greetings people, I have implemented a few changes on the Imate.com website.... there is now a jasjar forum.

I was disapointed on the reply though, please post a few more suggestions in the next couple of days and I will make sure they get to the right ppl

I agree with the following they should offer a structured level support. I had to contact them over and over it took me 3 days to get a resolution(turn it in for service) from the maunfacture and now they tell me that my device should have been serviced, however the service center topps says they can't get supplies. Imate says that the parts are comming in. I was promised 2 times that my device would be ready and now they wont return my emails. I have a 12 month warranty and my phone will take 1 month to fix? This isn't right.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
I tried using the forums in the past, they were useless and totally uninformative.

The online help was pathetic "couldnt find anybody", then every subsequent attempt states that the capability has timed out.

The support people when I did get through once said that they would forward information to me, which they never did.

I would suggest in your forums that you just post a link back to this site, it is a lot more helpful, and a lot more informative than yours.

I would also suggest that you provide clear time frames for patches and fixes, rom updates etc so that we know what and when. If you make a commitment to a date, you do it, you dont refuse to publish a date so that times can slip and slip and slip away with buyer confidence constantly dwindling.

During the massive period between ROM updates, I think you should be able to release quicker smaller patches of bugs that are obvious.

I find this statement on your website totally misleading...

Under Investigation

Playback of video clips in full screen mode in Media Player will not stretch to fill the screen.

Why dont you all acknowledge (seeing as this was published immediately back in October over 6 months ago), that you are not investigating, that this sucks and we are stuck with it.

Further

• The Skype™ logo may take a few seconds to load the first time that the Programs menu is viewed.

This is a real real pain in the ass, a few seconds is a joke, as soon as you scroll down to that icon, wham wait and wait and wait, painful and I am sure a quick patch could fix this, I believe users of this forum have already fixed it.

and for that matter, all the others.... at what point do you stop investigating and start fixing? How about putting some dates beside each and state these will be fixed by.....? Then list all the others that you have absolutely no intention of fixing at all.

Fix the battery please.... we want our clock back. I have already had to download and install a fix from this website to remedy your two line today screen plug in down to one very narrow line. But I dont want that, I want my clock back.

If you are going to insist on a battery icon, how about one that has a little bit more scale than Full, nearly less than 3/4 full, and empty!!

How about a VGA screen? Rather than advertising one, then not actually enabling and using it. If people can download and hack, why not you guys with all your resources and the capabilities and support of the team.

I simply do not understand why the users of this fourm can do what your organisation cannot.

Battery is now running low, will be back with more.

T-Mobile get their kit direct from HTC, as do most operators. If it isn't branded i-mate then it isn't an i-mate. It may be the same device but you can only expect support off i-mate, qtec, dopod, O2, T-Mobile, etc etc if it is actually branded as being their incarnation of the HTC model.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
oh yeah, the other thing that really really really annoys me, your camera function will not:

1. Extend to the full size of the screen during video view finder. When I emailed Imate they said it would be fixed in later releases. But it isnt even on the website as being under investigation. Trying to get that camera video to work in an itsy bitsy teeny weeny poka dot screen is a joke. I love the videos, but hate the view finder. It can be related to the camera itself, the pictures take in full screen just not the videos.

2. Will not allow pictures to be taken in portrait mode.

3. Has totally appalling resolution. I have a 2 mega pixel camera, and compared to the 2 mega pixel of the phone it is about 1000 times better in quality, clarity, resolution, and colour depth.

i revile imate

I purchased this alleged phone/pda and experienced numerous missed calls. I tried numerous times to get "live" online service and got so angry with the techs online, that I had to resort to vulgarity to get their ****ing attention. it was absolutely and appallingly horrible. I can go on and on. I wrote a lenghty email to an individual who seemed to care, but who cares.

This is my 5th pda and my last I-mate. I-mate blows.

battery life or lack thereof...

Every imate owner I know complains of poor battery life. Now I know what they're talking about. my hp6340 could go 12 hours with wi-fi and cell phone running simultaneously. I'm lucky to get 6 hours with this unit. why can't I turned down the brightness further without it turning black?

I don't understand your suggestion. As far as I know, both were the same capacity.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] edved:
i have to agree with what simon says...

I believe imate telling us that we will be heard just makes for good press, b/c in actuality if they were really interested in pleasing their customer base, they would have had to simply look no further than their online forum for direction.

Their forum has to be one of the worst one's that I have had the unfortunate experience of subscribing to. Throughout their forum you frequently see questions or suggestions go unanswered or simply ignored. This company I believe is interested simply in taking the money and run. How else can you explain the fact, that somoeone who buys a used imate is required to pay an exhorbitant fee of $60 for the privilege of upgrading their rom. Does any other company do this? I purchased my JJ new, but a colleague opted to forgo the update and save his cash.

I had a nightmare episode with their "online support" more abuse then support and this has left a really bad taste in my mouth.

So I thought I'd use the CM installer to load CM on my HTC One. Everything was going fine. My phone was on the CyanogenMod startup screen and the installer was still in the process of installing it on my phone but then suddenly the installer "Couldn't Talk to My Phone". And now, the phone still shows the CM startup screen with the spinning arrow, it's been like that since yesterday. I can't connect it to my laptop because my phone is not actually turned on (stuck on CM screen) so my laptop doesn't detect it. What should I do?

I'm confused. My backup is on HTC Sync Manager. I can't flash or sideload a ROM since my phone does not work. When I turn it on, I get the CyanogenMod logo and the arrow just keeps on circling. That's it. I can't do anything in Recovery Mode, there's a backup and restore option but I have nothing on my phone, it has been reset to factory settings. I cannot sideload since my computer cannot detect the phone since it's not really on. Keep in mind that I was using the CM Installer for Windows. I just want my phone to work again.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] MrTechie890:
As the title reads, I've recently rooted my HTC One; and installed the Ecliptic ONE Inverted rom (the kit kat version) along with the custom theme that you can install with it. Though theres a few parts of the theme that I want to change. They aren't drastic changes, just small things changing the opacity of notification bar and the dock. Along with color alterations to a few things like the color of the text on keyboard and keypad to red, changing the color of the clock in the notification window, changing the color of the quick setting toggles when they're on, and some color alterations to the icons on some apps. I'm mostly doing this because my HTC One is red and it looks weird when a lot of the elements of the theme are blue (to me it looks weird just because of the color of the phone, don't judge). I'm also to looking at changing some of the icons in the notification either to a different icon, or just to the stock HTC sense icons.

My problem has been that I've trying to do this, but I kinda got confused by a lot of this; and I'm still relatively new when it comes to creating a theme or rom for android devices.

So far I have the Android SDK installed, and I have the android utility installed. Though I've been having problems with android utility, the utility keeps spitting out a ton of errors whenever I trying installing the framework-res.apk to the utility, and whenever I try to decompile a apk it doesn't fully decompile the whole apk. I'm using OSX 10.9.1, I also have photoshop CS6 for image editing. If needed I can supply more specifics as to the errors that are popping up or anything else you guys need.

If anyone out there has experience in this matter thats willing to help me out in any way or collaborate with me on this project just reply to this thread. Any help or advice or help that can be given will be appreciated.

DISCLAIMER: This custom theme is going to be for my own personal use only. This will not be distributed to the general public.

Why not use linux or windows? I used VTS to do personal edits and it's fantastic. It will pull the appropriate framework apks from your phone through usb also. It does take a bit of programming knowledge to do this type of thing as you may run into bugs when messing with frameworks. Just my two C. Good luck!

Why don't you look into this:

I totally hear you on the color/theming thing. I have the blue ONE and a red or otherwise colored 'theme' seems strange. I use my Beanstalk build; it offers quite a bit of customization. Not every single thing you may want to customize, but the vast majority. Not trying to pimp my build, just sharing how I dealt with similar feelings.

I would use Linux if I could but at the current moment I don't have a Linux machine readily available that I can use.
