Hi guys,

Well for me,i had a compact(magician)which was small for a pda but big for a phone,

it suited my needs but when i changes depts at work and found myself away mon-fri living in hotels,

the compact went wrong so i used the chance to risk a chnage, i then went to an exec suited me perfectly,alhto' a bit put off due to size iw as able to use as a mini laptop,for email web browesing and moslty msn messngers so a large screen and keyboard were perfect and i learned to live with and love the exec and also pop in my pocket when done unlike a laptop

so for me depends on your needs, for me at the mo wel think il get the flipphone htc next,then use that as a phone.sms,email and keep the exec for weekends away and when i need a mp3.broweser wtc wtc just chuck it in a bag and go

so id like best of both worlds tbh

Today's pocket-pc phones have reached a size that doesn't make them significantly more cumbersome than smartphones (in my opinion). Following from that fact, I have to say I prefer the full-blown functionality of the PPC phone in my pocket.

Simple!
[General Topics] twinair:
Using it because my SP5 is in for repair.

It got stuck in headset mode.

Did a hard reset, even reflashed the ROM !

Still started up in headsetmode, couldn't use the phone without earplugs.

Warranty job :)

Well, first of to say, good taste, being you were a user of the MPX series like me :D .

Well for me, I prefer the PPC. The smartphone cannot do enough for me. The PPC is powerful, touchscreen, HUGE screen, more customizable. And there is more software for it. Plus I need the hardware keyboard most PPC include now.

I suggest you use the Motorola MPX300 if you want a "SMALL" pocket pc. If was great for me when I use it, but I gave it away at work.

I started with the XDA2i, loved it (except the occasional freeze) as it had the functinality I needed.

I use the Sync feature to keep on top of my calendar and contacts while also bein able to check the web and download e-mail at the same time. The large screen allowed a good use of Tom Tom Navigator which is vital for me as I tend to work all over the country.

I recently upgraded to XDA Mini and find the actual qwerty keypad a much better way of using the system than the stylus. All in all, with the Windows Mobile package I'm more likely to be able to link with my Windows PC (especially with the transfer of Word/excel docs and the use of Outlook) than the potential issues of cross o/s synchronization. I love the XDA Mini. as it suits me perfectly and saves me carrying 2 devices (shame I can't get a cradle for the XDA to sit on the bike with TomTom)
[General Topics] Osir1s:
I started off using an mpx200, then the mpx220 and they were good, lightweight, stylish, and packing windows mobile which was great for checking emails and running low level apps.

Like alot of users I then upgraded to the XDA Mini and havent looked back, the larger screen, the capacity for more features, for better applications and also whilst I dont use the features as often, the ability to turn a pocket pc into a media centre of sorts is appealing.

Overall for me at the moment the main reason behind my recent purchase of a TyTN was due to the keyboard. The jasjar was more machine then I needed once I had left my previous job, but going to a 6828 I missed the keyboard, and thats then where the TyTN stepped in.

In any case I think these devices will become more converged themselves in the future and the line between smartphone and pocket pc will diminish, in one part because of the pocket pcs becoming more functional yet lighter and cheaper and also in particular with the next version of Windows Mobile which is meant to unify the two platforms.

my view

Well the world is surely moving towards a large screen vga display device which fits snugly in ones pocket ,I use a o2 XDA IIs and the range it offers in usablity is terrific.just dont go by the weight in grams and so on ,see if a device can do all your work and still comfortably slip into your shirt pocket well ,this form factor will be the future of all phone at some point of time.I would say a 4 to 4.5 ich screen with all the essential keys built around the phone and many are soft keys on the screen like the phone dialer.so what is today a smartphone will morph into a shirtpocket PC one day.Just imagine such a device with an intel duo processor running at 3 ghz and all the apps.on a note book,well this will be the future pocket PC phone one day very soon!!

I am all for pocket pc's as opposed to Smartphones. I started out with a small PPC6700 and then decided that all the features of an Xda Exec would better fit my lifestyle. I was mainly attracted towards it because of the full qwerty keyboard (none of that tiny crap where you cant press the buttons properly) and the VGA screen.

Now I am working where I need to have a second line so at first I thought I would get a smartphone to complete the pair but after better analyzing the situation there is no way I can go without a touchscreen anymore. Im thinking a Exec and Artemis combo :)
[Hardware Hacking General] flupke02:
When assembling a new touch screen for my LG p880, is it really necessary to use new adhesive tape? I've seen some assemblage movies where there's nothing mentioned about adhesive, they just push both parts together and that's it. Apparently, the old adhesive is still sticky enough?﻿ I am wondering as I've also seen advertisements for special adhesive tape...
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
I don't know about your case.

The Nook Touch uses the zForce IR touch sensor.

It's all stuck together with double stick tape.

The alignment is actually pretty critical.

I've got a roll of that double stick tape for putting plastic on windows in the winter.

It looks like it would be perfect, although I'll have to trim the width.

NE4 : 1424588

NE7 : 699287

I only asked because normally every new firmware release has a changelist slightly higher than the previous one, but NE7's changelist size is is almost exactly half of NE4, which just seems a bit odd.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] blinqipa:
Hello guys ,in this tutorial I'm going to show you main steps to make a CM11 Theme , compatible with the newest theme engine :) .

I'll provide as much help as I can , stating here that I'm a themer for only two week , I started theming with [MENTION=5266287]EnricoD[/MENTION] who really helped me and guided me through this way .

So let's start off :)

Requirements:

* There's a template available to download on GitHub , made by elelinux .But [MENTION=5266287]EnricoD[/MENTION] made it simpler , thank him :) , also support elelinux by getting his theme Great Freedom on the Play Store

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By2Nq4_gBuTQWktfb2xTc2dGR1U/edit?usp=sharing

It is pretty stable , and good enough to make a complete theme .

*Download Android Studio , which is going to be used to compile the Great Freedom project , and make it available as .apk format to install on your ROM.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/studio.html

*Android Studio won't work without the JAVA JDK , which you can download in the link below :

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

*You MUST have a ROM which includes the newest CM Theme Manager (T-Mobile Theme Manager) firstly introduced in the CM11S .

*Working brain

*PC, with a decent internet speed , believe me we had enough difficulties with enricocid downloading that android studio on a slow internet :/ .

*Time and Patience .Patience because you're going to test the theme you made many times .

You can ask questions , I know how it feels to be a beginner , so don't worry I , [MENTION=5266287]EnricoD[/MENTION] , and other users here will do their best to help you ;)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] blinqipa:
1st Steps on theme making

Here we are , assuming that you have downloaded the Android Studio , the template , and set them properly .

What are we going to work on ?

We are going to work on the template , but know that you won't touch anything except the assets folder .

When you go to that folder (assets ) you'll see a bunch of folders .

The one you need for UI theming is overlays folder .

Let's say you are going to theme Paranoid Android or CM (it doesn't really matter , however they differ !) , you'll get the SystemUI.apk from the ROM.zip (exactly here : ROM/System/Priv-app) , decompile(I'll cover you here too ) it and you'll get another folder called systemUI filled with FOLDERS :eek:

How it looks :

Then edit whatever you want (except the .9.png's , I'll also cover that for you).In my case I have edited all the photos (.png's) with Photoshop CS6

I'm done with editing the drawable-xxhdpi , you may edit whichever folder you want , drawable-xhdpi etc.

Then I go to the template/GreatFreedom-cm-11.0/Assets/overlays/ and create a folder there with the name | com.android.systemui | and create another folder inside the com.android.systemui named res and then copy the whole folder you have themed in the SystemUI , in my case it is drawable-xxhdpi .

If you want to edit drawable-xhdpi or any folder for the systemUI , you need to create a folder with identical name in the overlays/com.android.systemUI .

Then if you want to edit framework-res , continue with the same steps (decompile >edit>create a folder in overlays named | android | )

Understand the logic , every part of the app has a special name , which you can find it in the AndroidManifest.xml of the app you decompile , here's an example :

So understand , example : you want to edit the XXXXXXXX.apk , you decompile it , get it's name path in the AndroidManifest.xml , and create a folder in the overlays with the name you took in the AndroidManifest.xml .(I'll take some main system apps path names and will give them to you )

Simple right?

Now we're getting into a simpler step , building the .apk with Android Studio
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] blinqipa:
Building the .apk with the Android Studio

Open up the Android Studio .

Then click File -> Import Project... then locate where the template is .

And then compile the project

Hint : you may use Ctrl + Shift + F9 combo to compile it .

Then get the .apk , found here :

Install it , and that's it , you got a theme now ;)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] blinqipa:
Filepaths to some main packages

Names to the main packages filepath :

android (framework-res.apk)

com.android.dialer (Dialer.apk)

com.android.email (Email.apk)

com.android.keyguard (Keyguard.apk , lockscreen theming)

com.android.settings (Settings.apk)

com.android.systemui (SystemUI.apk)

You may ask for another one , I'd be happy to help you :)

What is decompiling ?

Decompiling is a process , in which you get every part of an app (.apk) , it is so simple , where you only need basic knowledge on Command Prompt (CMD.exe) , as I said , I got to cover you with a simple tutorial :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2251719

How can I edit .9.png's ?

They're same as any .png file , but if you edit it , you MUSTN'T touch /color the black parts/corners ,leave those parts black.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Schoat333:
I've never used Android studio to build a Theme, always did it the old school ways. Does it also sign it, and can you use your own key?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] blinqipa:
Not sure what you mean by key , but Android Studio is a small part of this tutorial , just to make the compiling , which is a fairly easy step to do .
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Schoat333:
Sorry, I should have been more specific. In order to install an application from with in Android, it has to be signed. Generally, you would sign it with the test keys that Google provides, and that would work. In order to put an item in the Play store, you have to use your own Keys tho. I'm just curious if the Android studio does this signing step.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] blinqipa:
Probably , I'm not a user of Android Studio , except that I use it for Theme Compiling .

I've heard that Android Studio lets you do so many things to make it available and compatible with Play Store , like it let's you choose whether the app to be mature or whatever .
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apwchan:
Hi All,

Firstly, very happy in acquiring the new Z2, probably the best phone I have bought so far, loving every minute and resisting to root the phone.

I have however, noticed that when I plug in the earphones or my bluetooth devices, all the media sounds plays through the earphones/bluetooth devices but

not

the notifications. They continue to be played through the phone's speakers. I had the same issue with my previous phone Galaxy Note 2, but were able to resolve the issues by using an app called "Soundabout". I've tried installing Soundabout in my Z2, but to no avail. Notifications continued to played through the phone. Have anyone have the same problems, are there any solutions to this minor issue without rooting the phone or have I blatantly overlooked something?

Many thanks in advance.

Will you be able to unlock the LG G3 in the near future?

I bet we have experienced unlockers here so I ask for their answers if it is possible or not.

Yes but how are they supposed to know....without the phone you are just asking someone to guess.... So here goes NO

Or maybe yes or who freaking knows

better hope they don't start locking them like sprint and Samsung did the note 3 .... No unlock but from sprint

why not sell the phone and buy a phone in the asian country you'll be going to, you'll be able to get LTE there since you might not have the correct LTE bands for that country
[T-Mobile LG G3] DaNaRkI:
If you snoop around the site, for info on bringing non-Tmobile phones in. It has rules for unlocking our phone. But they include "fully paid off phone" and minimum service and account time before they will let us.

If you talk to a customer service rep and explain your situation they might let you unlock sooner.

I used the unlock code that i received from the link in your signature..

when I put in the code, it said network unlocked.. BUT somehow it didnt work. cant make calls or anything. As if it was still locked.

So i went back into the screen where you put the unlock code, and now there is NO prompt for it.. it simply says you cant personalize this phone.

I only attempted the code once..

any advice?
[T-Mobile LG G3] kachmul2004:

4) enter your code, and the phone will reboot itself in about 5 seconds

5) profit !

I purchased the $2 unlock which came very quickly. Went through the procedure to unlock which seems to have worked successfully. However, seem to be having some issues with my Roam Mobility SIM (which is a T-Mobile MVNO). Looks like voice is working but data is "disconnected" even though all the settings/APN are set correctly. The same SIM works fine when I pop it into my Moto X.

Any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mickliq:
Further update - changing to WCDMA gets "4G" (HSPA+) data to work. Can't understand why LTE is being blocked for data when it works on a Moto X with the same band support and the G3 voice is clearly working on LTE.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Anyone tried using an unlocked G3 abroad with a foreign SIM card? ie a Mexican SIM card and using it with the Mexican network? I wonder if data would work then since we are unable to get data while roaming internationally with a T-Mobile SIM card.

[T-Mobile LG G3] apexi350z:
I bought another LG G3 (Tmobile version) from eBay, and this time I can't get it unlock so far. I sent the request to the $2 unlock from GSM Zambia, and no reply yet.

I tried to use imei-unlocker.com, and use the LG Premium service, came back failed, and no unlock code available. I also tried cellunlocker.net, and still waiting, but not looking too well.

Is it possible some LG G3 phone just can't be unlocked? it's getting frustrated.. :)

**Update** I finally got the unlock code from

GSM Zambia

($2), after all other paid (more expensive) sites are not able to unlock the phone. Just want to let you guys know I had used his service 2 times, and both time works fabulously! 1st time was about 10min response, but the 2nd time took a while, probably because more difficult to "crack" the code :)

Well i just called tmo customer service and told them that i am going overseas and i need to use this phone there. She told me that u have used the phone for only 14 days and it has to be used for at least 45 days before we can send u the unlock code. But after insisting more she said ok i will process ur unlock application. If its approved u will get the code in 24 hrs. And thats what happened i got the unlock code the next day i used the code successfully. Hope this helps.
