[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markudsc:
Hi mate,

but you want root without tripping knox?

if yes, you can't do it because you are on 4.4.2 know just you said.

but if you don't care about the warranty void and still knox 0x1,

go ahead and follow the advice of [MENTION=679188]ultramag69[/MENTION].

find CF-Autoroot and flash it with ODIN, it's the fastest and easiest mode to root your device.

and if you want flash custom roms, look for CWM or TWRP compatible recoveries to do that.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khizar:
check out the guide that is linked ion my sig..

might wanna edit your post and not mention that root method..it was deleted/banned from xda due to it containing malware..

Hi. I am thinking about replace my old Universal for a nice successor. Here in Spain HSDPA is active so i was thinking about HTC Hermes. But i love my VGA Screen. What can i do? any suggestions?? Thaaaanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kdskamal:
Till now, there are not even rumors in the air for the next laptop-like design. So, all we can do is request HTC to make similar device :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
How about MAGIC: http://www.advancetc.com/
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adamdon89:
Yeah I've seen them, I was going to get one till I heard... NO VGA! Now why would I want two QVGA screens? I think the Universal is going to be the top dog for quite some time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hdubli:
Cross yr fingers....there is one planned..... :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
Hdubli thanks but I always thought that HTC will tie up the successor for the Universal with the next version of Windows Mobile.

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dherrero:
Hi hdubli,

Could you say something more?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
I love clamshell devices.

I love clamshell devices :D , thus the reason why I fell in love with the Universal. I do hope there is a successor for the Universal with better specs, especially the camera. We need higher resolution and they need to reposition the camera at the back of the screen, instead of the bottom of the keyboard. The one in front of the screen is fine, but I prefer to take pictures in clamshell mode than with the screen rotated in PDA mode.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dherrero:
For me VGA is a must. I like HSDPA, but i prefer UMTS with VGA than HSDPA with QVGA. I was going to buy it but i know that i will miss the VGA real screen so i will wait. I will buy a pcmcia card HSDPA enabled for my laptop......
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jarednoah:
VGA is a must for me too. The screen can be smaller but I need my VGA. With bigger memory and an external Caller ID screen. Then I am in heaven!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Lordsmiff:
A decent camera wouldn't go amiss too ;-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Nasdaq:
For me the next version must have an external screen so I can see who is calling withough having to open it, and a small numeric pad so I can make calls. That's the biggest peeve I have with this device.

Faster processor would be great too, the phone does get a bit laggy sometimes, also can't always answer a call, etc. It was better after a reflash but after a while the phone starts to drag.

Cheers

Nasdaq
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Biffert:
How about a graphics processor, for video playback and such. I have some hickups every now and then when i playback video.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] srmz:
I think the current Universal has it all except:

1: External screen to display caller ID

2: The call accept and reject buttons on the side should light up when a call comes through

3: A small numeric keypad on the outside

4: But above all 128 MB of Program memory

Hope HTC is listening to us

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Lordsmiff:
Don't forget the camera ;-)

And if HTC are listening, can you make me a special one without the numeric pad on the outside?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ashby:
I would love a full keyboard (alt / ctrl) keys
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dherrero:
Dont forget HSDPA. In many countries it works right now with 1.8Mbps and in Spain it will reach 14.4 Mbps in december ¡¡ (Like in many other countries). It makes real the TV Online...so i think HSDPA is a must.

Some extra buttons and a powerfull graphics chip and HTC Universal will become a PSP connected to the world with a VERY big broadband.

Of course wifi G.

External screen.

FM and DVB-T receivers.....

And finally...of course.....SIRF III GPS with TMC (real time traffic).

zzzzzzZZZZzzzzz...maybe I am dreaming.........zzzZZZZzzzzz
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GDawes:
here is the design

From Sanyo prototypes a couple of years back.

Phone unit providing comms. Can be left on desk in bag, shirt pocket, belt clip. USB 2 and wireless USB connector. WIFI and bluetooth. 2 mini SDIO sockets. integrated AGPS. TV out. A2DP....

Screen - Interchangable choice of screens from VGA to QVGA. Talks wirelessly to base very thin.

Voice comm - via screen or headset.

Cameras interchangable and optional.

http://www.slashphone.com/111/4732.html cant find original link. But it was interchangavle items talking wireless to the receiever. mix n match what u need and it slotted together for storage, regular use.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] 6680abhi:
Hopefully:

1. 3mp camera+ w/ VGA video recording

2. Wifi 802.11g (or even 802.11n!)

3. Small external screen for caller ID/signal status

4. 128mb (or more) RAM

5. Internal storage of 4gb+

6. Support for standard SD - I hate that we all have to buy new memory cards all the time! I dont think anyone is bothered about a memory card weighing 1g less - as minisd/microsd offer smaller capacities, higehr prices and the need for everyone to buy new cards!

7. GPS

8. Larger supplied battery - at least 2500mah.

And of course keep the VGA screen, but with perhaps 262k colours?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adi54:
I support 6680abhi specs :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] denmes:
Linux (optionally?) instead of Win

Small screen outside + hardware numpad outside

4,5" internal screen 800x480 - it's possible, just take a ruler

complete remapable keyboard with Ctrl and Alt instead of silly WIN buttons

HSDPA and EGPRS

Would be nice if the device would be not so thick, but 2-3cm longer instead (with correspondingly large screen and keybords).

(I am still dreaming about perfect Psion Revo)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hdubli:
Well I can only say that no WM 2006...but it will be more compact keeping VGA resolution and of course HSDPA..cannot say more planned 1st/2nd qtr 2007
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dherrero:
bufffff, one year waiting..??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] 6680abhi:
Thanks for the info. Will the more compact design mean a smaller screen (hopefully it wont!)?

Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] wkeller:
i dont use voice phone, only data, therefore please give us

- more screen for webbrowsing (4.5 inch: yes!)

- more memory, more battery, more usb (host)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jarednoah:
So most probably, this thing will be in the stores by 3rd or 4th quarter of 2007. That is a very looong wait in techno years? On the flipside, the current universal will be the "king" for a longer while....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GaZ:
Keep the screen size and resolution, but cut down on the blank space either side (or on one side at least. we need the d-pad after all).

Screen on the outside is a must. Could be LCD for all I care, as long as it displays caller name/number, and when playing MP3s should tell you what track is playing.

Also, I don't care about an external keypad for calling, but I really want some Media Player controls on the outside (even if just next track/previous track)

Better quality speakers would be god too. I can still be out-blasted by my girlfriends SE W550i :x
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dima_the_chief:
Hello!

Yes, the device of this kind MUST have a small outer screen just for the phone, and MUST have the numeric keyboard, as well as a joystick and WIN keys.

You can see on the MAGIC prototype - there is no numeric keys on the outer side, and number dial is still will be a pain here.

WHY NOT MAKE THE OUTER SCREEN SMALLER AND PUT NUMERIC KEYS?

Also, you can see, the device is very big, IMHO they could put numeric keys on the outer side while keeping this screen.

Defenitelly, there is A GAP between users and developers.

We understand that that there is the really big ammount of usability feedback, thanks to this forum too!

And, there is an evergrowing demand for the keyboard \ VGA devices on the market today!

Why not developers just take in to account already collected on this forum????

What do you think, people?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] HeartOfDarkness:
I was gonna say USB Host too, hopefully with enough power output to drive, even if only for a little while, a 1.8 / 2.5 " USB disk drive. The external display, OLED-style, is not only a plus, it should have been in the original design. :-)

Alas, being in the "secret of the gods" for a few phone brands (well, their French branches at least), I know that VGA devices are NOT considered a priority, far from it: QVGA or squarish (crappy) 320x320 screens seem more like the usual flavor for furture smart-phones. Of course, lack of RealVGA support in WM doesn't help.... :-(

Also, some big/huge PDA manufacturers / distributors have expressed their doubts about the PDA-phone branch of the market... :-S
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cmonex:
what doubts... for example? :o

i agree VGA is still not popular from the standpoint of the manufacturers & microsoft... :( grrr.

a little note, the square screen is not 320x320, worse: 240x240. :roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] HeartOfDarkness:
240x240 is the current crappy (ahem, sorry for those who are "blessed" with such a screen), but I did mean the *future* square screens: they'll be 320x320, not 480x480 nor 640x640 (still some info from my "godly" sources ;-) ), at least for a while.

A "for instance": at Dell's, the responsible for the European Axim market said a few month ago, when asked about the Axim series evolutions, that there was no reason for Dell to go into the pda-phone business (and therefore no plans to) simply becase this market was far from mature and didn't provide enough revenue. I'll try and find a link if you want.

Oh, and the reason why I might not be completly full of cr*p (notice the "might" ;-) ) about my "godly sources" is because I used to administer a portable technologies-oriented webzine (www.digi-topia.net), so I had (and still have) a few "insider tips", sometimes.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Taz69:
I'm hoping the replacement for the Universal will be an evolution of the current design rather than something totally new.

Hopefully it will keep a decent sized VGA screen and clamshell design. After all my previous XDA2I was considerably smaller than my Exec but when you add a case to protect the exposed screen it ended up being much bulkier.

HTC please RETAIN THE SWIVEL CLAMSHELL SCREEN and don't shrink it either :?

Other than that I hope to see

Graphics processor

Improved battery life

More memory & compatibility with the current mobile data standards.

Also here is an idea for a useful accessory....

Instead of an outer screen/numerical keypad how about a bluetooth keyfob type display with a small numerical keypad for dialing out. It would be cool if it could sync with your outlook contacts to allow you to dial without opening your device & AVRCP

(I belive similar features are available in some bluetooth headsets)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] HeartOfDarkness:
Nokia already sells something that looks like what you're refering to. I'd rather see embedded improvements rather than external, somewhat "optionnal" stuff, even if they do make them to.

Other than that, totally agree with you: form-factor, in particular, is excellent IMHO, although maybe some improvements on solidity / rigidity for the hinge wouldn't hurt.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cmonex:
you mean the nokia 9500 / 9300 / 9300i? sadly they run the lame symbian OS.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dima_the_chief:
Yes, Nokia 9*00* models have great usability (IMHO), I mean the case itself. I dont mean the symbian OS and narrow screen.

The more I use Universal, the more I feel the leak of these small screen and num pad on top.

Another good IMHO thing from that Nokia: the phone is "separated" from the OS, so, when the Windows part is hang or resetting, you will not lose a call! :)

From the OS side you should see the "modem" which you can make calls with, using the outlook's contacts.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] HeartOfDarkness:
No, I meant that: Nokia HS-13W: http://www.kabiloo.fr/__gsm_5713_kit_oreillette_nokia_hs 13w_pour_ericsson_k310i.html

That's what I understand Taz meant when he / she said:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Taz69:
That is along the idea though probably nothing as fancy.

If it was just a display and allowed me to use a Bluetooth stereo headset to make/receive calls I would be in heaven.

Even something as simple as the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Headset HBH-200 would do the job but I expect I could not have that and a pair of stereo headphones such as the Motorola HT820's both connected to the Exec, just using the HBH-200 to display who was calling :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] HeartOfDarkness:
Couldn't find the actual interview, but recent news support what I said earlier, and go even further: not only does Dell think the smart/PDA-phone market non-mature, they may be pulling out of the handheld market altogether:

http://www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/N...000000000000000000000000005918&query=DELL+PDA

"

Dell halted R&D development of PDA products since the middle of 2005, when Dell's Taiwan Design Center (TDC) completed development of the PC vendor's last Axim-series device, which was manufactured by High Tech Computer (HTC), according to market sources.

"

Ah well, it's a shame really, considering how good the last Axims were... Only thing they lacked, really, was a good phone function... :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Junior Jackson:
Universal replacement spec

This is what I'd like to replace my XDA Exec:

At least 400MHz Intel CPU

64mb RAM

128mb ROM

Quad band

802.11b & g - wifi certified

Bluetooth v2

Integrated SIRFstar III GPS

USB v1.1 slave AND USB v1.1 host

2mp autofocus camera (+ vga for video dialing)

Qwerty keyboard

Integrated VoiP via wifi and / or UMTS

Docking / charging station included

AKU2 included (push email etc)

SDIO / MMC supporting new SDHC (or SDA v2 - up to 32Gb...)

That's just about everything.

And it's due for delivery first week in October from clove.co.uk

The Fujitsu Siemens Loox T830. Hopefully ending a year of pain with my Exec which is at this moment sat on my kitchen worktop with it's second cracked screen.

The downside?

240 x 240 2.4inch screen. I can live without VGA for improved reliability and more robust mechanical design.

Chris.

You can't buy rumours.

If Fujitsu took the T830 and put it in a mechanically stronger clamshell with the Universal's screen what other features would you need or want?

Otherwise, have a look at the new VGA Gigabyte device - it's REALLY cool!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] olliesshop:
Any updates?

Anyone hear any more about the next Universal? It looks like the last real leak was in September. It appears it will be out sometime in the first half of 2007 with hopefully significant improvements. I love my Universal (Jasjar), but I really could use more RAM and a faster processor.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Akula_dude:
a few weeks ago I had that urge to design the Universal II. I came up with something that had a 4" WVGA screen (800x480), 624mhz cpu, an 8gb hard disk, and 128mb of ram. I drew some concept drawings as well... i'l scan them if anyone wants to see them

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] olliesshop:
Athena - XDA V

Based on this other string, it looks like it's being referred to as Athena? ... http://www.xda-developers.com/modules.php?name=News&file=showarticle&threadid=286884

Update: After re-reading ... http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/articles/htc-athena-en.shtml it says ... "It would be a mistake to think of HTC Athena as a successor to a tablet communicator HTC Universal, which will be inherited by another device in future. As for the Athena, as a matter of fact, it comes from a totally different type." So it looks like there's still hope, since the Athena doesn't seem that great to me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Akula_dude:
k... but you have to remember that i drew this in class... so its not the best...

Excuses for my lack of creativity aside, here be the thing:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=32613&stc=1&d=1167325800

k, breif description of my disasterpeice:

theres a rollerball (P3300-esque) where the Uni's dpad was. we now have call send, end, softkeys and app buttons. Oh, and the videocamera at the top, and a fingerprint reader

Cant see from the pic, but on the outside theres a 256x96 screen which shows incoming calls, or current playing music. there are two softkeys beside the screen which can be used for accept/decline incoming calls, or play/next track, depending on whether a call is incoming

The Specs:

624mHz CPU (cos everyone wants it. and a utility to scale down to 520 and 416Mhz if your really that concerned about battery)

128mb RAM

8GB 1" hard disk, with ~7.5GB free

3.5G HSPDA radio

802.11G WiFi

Bluetooth v2.0 with anything but Microsoft's software

USB host (a female port on the device, but must be on charger to use)

4" VGA screen (i took out wvga, was way too cramped in on the pda)

Nvidia GoForce GPU

and of course, never going to happen... but hey, isnt illegal to dream...

Oh, and sorry for the crap image. MDA Pro's camera isnt the best in the world... my scanner broke :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Ohohohoho ... thanks for that blueprint. Good job! Give me some more. Maybe me and you can collaborate into making the Anti-HTC Universal? Your design is really awesome. If we can meet and start the project I would be really happy.

With my skill in soldering and making a new phone. lol but it all sums up to the ROM. If someone is willing to make a ROM for that device it will be a big team project to take down HTC once and for all!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
Can I have some of whatever nuclear is on please?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
See Alan... I was planning on upgrading the universal by soldering RAM / Flash ROM w/e to it. But now that Akula makes a pocket pc body I am thinking of using that picture as a blueprint into making a new phone. A phone that will outsmart the Universal. So what i am getting at is we are planning on making a totally new device!! Called the Anti-Universal. I dont know if that is fine with Akula, the name of the device that is... But i am going to take that picture that Akula just posted and place a order to make a metallic ipod-like body just like the one Akula drew. Akula draw more pic's and make them 3D in AutoCad or 3ds max. I can use them to make my new device. Also you cant copyright them because they are already public ;)

Seriously we got to meet. Maybe i can make your pictures 3d in 3dsmax.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Akula_dude:
you have 3DS-Max? omg... nice. i have the freebie G-Max...

yah, i'll draw some more blueprints if ya want... i draw them in class, save myself from boredom... if your serious about making a pda, well, good luck but i dont think it'll really happen.

So, any suggestions for the blueprint 2.0?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
Yes please make it 3 dimensional. Also if possible colour it up. I would like the colours of the ipod white. or the ipod U2 black version. There should be two cameras just like the universal has. Please make the CPU to be in the screen part. The screen should be detachable from the keyboard. Just like that HTC Athena. Except ours looks more like the HTC Universal. You know how the HTC Universal has the CPU in the keyboard part and the screen cant be taken off, in this Anti-Universal we want the screen to come off and the CPU to be in the screen so you can just carry a slimmer phone. We want it to look more of a phone than a computer. Make a big camera at the back of the phone. the device should have round corners and not sharp. Your image earlier was perfect. Just make the screen detachable and make the device a bit more oval.

Ah you live in England... that means we can probably meet in summer vaccation. Well I would really love to have the blueprints. I prefer AutoCad or 3dsmax or maya. Either way I promise you results or atleast as you see I am very interested in your excellence in designing. You may one day well become an architect or designer.

Keep it up! good job!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] patrickl:
nuclear, seriously. You should seek help or something.

First you don't know how to solder SMD and now you are designing a phone?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
yeah, it's nicely designed, tho' it seems a little bit too cramped.

I would be all for designing a new device, it's my dream, actually, and I'm trying to study that same thing, Electronic Engineering. I also studied Architechture for a few years, so, if I can be of any help let me know.

Here's engadget.com's post on O2's next successor of Universal:

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/11/21/o2-xda-flame-to-redefine-pocket-pc-high-end/

here are the specs of the device (the best part!!):

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=673

and here are more pictures!:

http://www.dinarsoft.com/gitex.html

I don't think it's made by HTC, but maybe that's a good thing, I don't know. Unfortunately, it doesn't have keyboard, or at least not built in...

the VGA screen is identical in size to that of the Universal, so it shouldn't be bigger in any way. nice comparison pics with an Axim x50v.

this is awesomeness in the flesh!! Enjoy. (via Engadget)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nuclear:
XDA Flame is good from the outside and bad from the inside. I wouldnt consider it a successor of Universal. ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
hey, the specs alone make me salivate in sheer desire, but our Anti-Universal will better, I'm sure! I like the idea of a detachable screen, tho' that screen is gonna be thick as hell, maybe as thick as the XDA Flame.

Why is the XDA Flame "bad from the inside"?? care to elaborate? appart from obvious stuff like the keyboard?
