[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] patrickl:
yes, mine is an mda pro too. I'm guessing mine worked lose from using the charger in the car. There is a lot of vibration on the cable that works it's way into the mini usb connector.

One morning I took out the usb cable and the connector came off and dropped back inside.

I didn't check it for warranty since I didn't want to be without my phone for a few weeks. I was just about to go on holliday for a few weeks too. So I repaired it myself. It wasn't really difficult, but you should be able to work with SMD components. I only fixed the charging though. One of the signal lines was ripped off the motherboard.

I have the same problem with my Logitech Harmony remote. I guess these mini USB connectors are the cause of the problem. They don't come with mechanical fastening or something. What kind of freaky designer uses solder for fixing mechanical components? Or at least they should use more of it. Mine was attached by the lines and maybe 2 tiny pads at the sides.

Anyway, I digress. I have no idea how you can convince T-Mobile. Guess that's where the problem with warranty is. Sometimes you don't get warranty unless you "sue" them, but then that's not worth it either.

It's pretty obvious that putting a cable in and out of the usb port is "normal use". Maybe if you say yyou dound lots of others with the same problem you can get it repaired under warranty. Ask for their manager. That might help too. or is that an american thing?

I still use a Sony Clie NX70 to read books on. That thing is built like a house. The hinge is still great and the metal housing keeps the screen from getting cracked (two other known design faults with the MDA pro) It really puts the MDA pro to shame. Just wish Sony was still making PDA's.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nicolaj:
Goddamn im angry. T-mobile just called, all they can do is exchange my MDA Pro for a Nokia 6230i. Not over my dead body! :x

Is there anyone that has gotten it's provider to repair this flaw? If yes, can you post your RMA/reparationnumber here? I can use these numbers as evidence that this is a flaw that needs to be covered under warrantee.

Please give me your RMA's and your provider/brand/country. Thanks very much!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] patrickl:
Wow you mean they can't even repair it anymore? Is that because they don't sell the MDA pro anymore. Or is it because you want it repaired for free?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nicolaj:
They CAN repair it, but just not for free, as this problem is not covered in warranty. In the price offer they have sent me, they suggest to replace the entire motherboard.

I think, with a repair price of 480 euro's, it's a total loss. I'm affraid the sum of 500 dollar is too low to take this into civil court or even to let a lawyer take a look at this. So next thing what i'm gonna do is write a lettre to the CEO of T-Mobile Netherlands.

replaced under warranty reciept attached

I grow tired of this problem; I made them aware of the situation quite a while back.

though I agree that it would be just to expensive to replace every unit the company should at least replace the broken ones.

Attached is my receipt showing that Imate did replace mine under warranty for free,

I have kept my personal details on the receipt for legal reasons for everyone else.

I hope this helps.

btw- I was sworn at, I was lied to, I was made to go through useless paperwork and there website chat programs are down most of the time and even when u do connect u have to endure a person who cant even grasp the basics of English. I feel sorry for this company, they don’t understand the basics of business.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nicolaj:
Thank you for the receipt :D one piece more to show T-Mobile that a device design error should fall under warrantee. I have heard numberous of bad experiences with iMate customer support, as I also sell iMate phones at my company. Would never even consider to buy one.

There HAS to be somewhere that has a T-Mobile repair receipt regarding an USB connector.. so if you're out there, please contact me!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] rushless:
Added: Besides radio reception, I always wonder about this subject with new devices and chipsets, so decided to test myself and not wait.

I have been testing game emulators with the M8, since with the exception of Dolphin, all others are CPU heavy (Dolphin is heavy on GPU and CPU). MAME games like Dead or Alive ++, Rival Schools and Street Fighter EX2 are good examples that really test how powerful the CPU is, since the 3D is CPU emulated.

Though obvious Android 3D games will be faster on the M8 (S801) than the S4, MAME 3D games were just as choppy on the M8 as the S600 and S800. This kind of surprised me since expected some improvement over the S600. So far, the only chipset that MAME plays as smooth as a laptop or PC is the A7 chipset. It plays Dead or Alive, etc all smoothly. I appreciate that is two different platforms, but the app devs state both are compiled similarly to the point of the platforms not making a difference.

A7 though is a tangent to Android, but a point that it is possible for the full MAME .139 and 3D games to play smooth on a portable device. I expect the S5 will be similar to the M8 in spite of the higher clock. The 5420 Note 2014 is faster with MAME than the M8, but still not arcade smooth like the iPad Air with A7.

Perhaps the 64bit chips later this year will be the point for par. N64 and PSP were also no better framerates than the S4, but the Note 2014 is the current emulator speed leader so far for Android.

Just thought I would post this for the old school game emulator fans out there. All five of us? ;)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] wtoj34:
I do a lot of emulating, but only for ps1 games really. All the other systems I still have and occasionally use. Gameboy color games are an exception, but for n64 and up I play them on the real deal >:)

I came fron Nexus 5, and definitely love JP. But it's another way of living, lots of limitations, not so many apps (even with Android runtime), and of course it's still in its early days.

I wanted to get out of Apple/Google/whatever, this is my choice (keep in mind that for me the best phone ever is Nokia N900).:good:
[Sailfish General] Deedend:
I use the jolla phone from 8 months as my unique main device, and I LOVE it (I never swithc back to Android since there are the Jolla option); but there are some negative aspects: the camera is VERY poor, the screen is of the right size but it's quality and resolution isn't good for a end 2013 phone and the edges of the device it's a little too sharp.
[Sailfish General] RumoredNow:
Interesting... Since, on paper, the cameras on Jolla and N4 are in the same class it must be a software thing. Hope they are getting that sorted out. I mean, coming from Nokia they should be all over that camera with a quality software imaging package to match the lens.

Because the Jolla phone still isn't coming to the states yet, I'm betting on that N4 image. No camera yet. I guess we would get the CyanogenMod 10.1.3 camera???

I agree the Jolla needs a better screen resolution.

Has anyone else had issues with getting multipart SMS messages to send using the messenger apps in custom ROMS on Sprint? Hangouts works fine to send and receive SMS so it is not a network problem (even though I did a bajillion carrier wipes, PRL and network updates before I realized that). Messenger on stock ROM works fine, so it looks like Google did something special in their N5 AOSP build.

I have tested on SlimKat and PA.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] greyhulk:
Hey there. I just received my M8 yesterday. Really loving it. I have a feeling it won't sell well, which is really too bad. I have run across a few issues, though, and I wanted to list them here to see if anyone else experienced the same thing and also post my fixes/workarounds for what I did encounter.

Out of the Box, the first thing I did was unlock the bootloader and root. I rooted for two reasons: To block ads and tether free. I really don't care about custom roms or anything else. However, I ran into issues almost immediately, similar to my challenges with the M7.

Adblock - Adaway simply will not work because it can't write the hosts file. I tried sim linking to a different folder, but that also failed. Adfree worked for a while, but then quit. Both apps rebooted my phone spontaneoulsy when I ran them. Adblock Plus kind of works, but will also ocasionally stop and even block all of my internet. Workaround - I flashed a zip of an adaway host from June through TWRP. Ads are now blocked, but obviously it's an outdated hosts file.

Fitbit - I realize that I may be unique here, but I have been using a Fitbit for a long time. When I tried to set it up, the phone wouldn't let me log in (java error), then when I went back to the app, I was logged in, but my Fitbit One did not show up under devices. I tried to add it twice and it went through the whole process, but never actually showed up. Later, I went back into the Fitbit app and it was just magically there. Something is definitely up with the newest Fitbit app, at least on the M8, but all is working now.

Gsam - I want to see my screen-on time, but I can't seem to get Gsam to work correctly. Everything just says "updating". I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. When I installed the root helper, it rebooted my phone because it couldn't write to the system.

Tethering - I currently can not find a solution for tethering that works. I froze tether check with Titanium Backup and now toggling hotspot does nothing. With the M7, we had to flash a modified apk.

That's kind of it for now. If anyone has a better solution for ad blocking, I'm all ears. Also, anyone who comes up with a solution to tethering will be my personal hero.

For the unlocked fellows and fellowettes out there, it's as simple as 1) unrooting, 2) taking OTA, and 3) flashing SuperSU in TWRP / CWM to regain root access, correct?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killrhythm09:
As long as you haven't frozen or removed any other system apps, then yes. I usually just do a clean wipe and install with RSD Lite since I remove all kinds of crap when I use stock.

And yeah, you can always flash SuperSU in recovery if your bootloader is unlocked.

/e: On second thought, take that first sentence with a grain of salt. I realized I've never actually taken an OTA the traditional way with a custom recovery installed. It seems like that wouldn't work properly.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeAsADroid:
Holy cow, I am thanking you all over the place tonight! Such great useful information you have! I was wondering if you wouldn't mind explaining in a little more detail what you mean by "clean wipe and install with RSD Lite". I have a feeling I may or may not have deleted something important along the way. I know I have frozen things in TiBu (which I can defrost, update, and re-freeze or finally delete since this will be our last update from Motorola), and I don't think I have deleted any of the system files as of yet, but I am pretty certain I have modified system files (changing things in SystemUI, etc) for certain mods.

In case the modded files forbid me from taking the OTA, could you explain a little about how you clean wipe and install with RSD Lite?

After final install of KitKat (by whichever method), if I have clean wiped, I'll lose my photos, messages, etc, yes? Is there a way to save that stuff? TiBu backup of the "text messaging" app or the "gallery" app perhaps?

I promise you I am not thread-stalking you around XDA, but thanks again for all your time tonight!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killrhythm09:
RSD Lite is a software tool you install on your PC to flash Motorola phones in fastboot. If you ever see an fxz package (which I think stands for fastboot xml zip) they can be used by RSD Lite to basically restore your phone to stock. They usually come with a file with different sections that you can comment or uncomment if you only want to flash specific partitions (i.e. only the modem, or just the kernel).

There's probably a better solution for backing up, but I just use TiBu and then copy everything off my internal storage & SD onto my PC temporarily, then copy it back after. I do it so infrequently that I haven't bothered to figure out a better way, sorry.

/e: Meant to include this site, since it has lots of different firmware releases that you can use with RSD Lite:

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
The best solution is to use SamuriHL's House of Moto tools. You must read, read again, and read one more time before installing and using the tool. Once it's set up correctly, it is very easy to use. You can get it here -> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto-20-for-now/

Read the OP in the thread first. Again, read it and then once more, as he states. The instructions are all there, but you have to read through them entirely before you attempt to use the tools.

I use this all the time when I'm ready to flash back to stock after being on a custom ROM when a new OTA comes out.

I use Titanium Backup to backup all my apps and data to my external SD card.

I use Backup to Gmail app to backup my call log, sms and mms messages so I can restore them later.

I backup my contacts and such to Google as well.

I use Listables to generate a list of the apps I had installed. I have so many that I sometimes forget which ones I used.

After that, I use HoM to flash back to stock and then reinistall TiBu to restore my apps.

Then, I use HoM to flash back the custom recovery (TWRP in my case) and flash root back onto my device (I'm unlocked so I don't have to use an exploit).

However, it would be best to hold off on root if you are wanting to obtain the OTA, unless of course you are using a locked device. Then, you might want to hold off until it's determined if there is a root exploit that will work.

Even though I'm unlocked, I'm going to wait and make sure they don't find a way to relock it. I don't believe they can since it was a physical change in the device (blown fuse - can't unblow it - is that a real word?)

That's it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
As stated above that is the best your gonna get. With that many messages you will not find anything that doesn't it faster. Also I saw you last post about coping the Db file. This will cause issues as every Roman handles this differently. My advise would be not to keep so many messages. The Android OS was never intended to handle dumb amounts of sms/mms.
