Well personally:

Not the Samsung SGH-i600 - because it is a Smartphone, no touch screen, limited apps.

Not the Nokia N95 - because it runs Symbian.

The choice between Artemis and TyTN is a tough one. If you are sure you won't miss the keyboard and you don't mind waiting I would definitely recommend the Artemis. It has way more stuff.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
i'd say Trinity

because it have 3g
[General Topics] richard d:
Not the Samsung - too basic, not the Nokia (could be a decent phone if it ran a decent operating system - forget multiple apps under Symbian).

Artemis - slower processor than the Tytn, but a nice phone. But if you don't need built in GPS I'd go for the Tytn.

Richard
[General Topics] hanmin:
As with others, the candidates are..

==HTC Artemis

- I like it as it does not have a keyboard

==HTC TyTN (my choice)

- I like the WiFi (if I have to choose that with a GPS - can always have a GPS mouse in my car, IF I have a car)
[General Topics] neptune:
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions guys, must be right. Should just stick with a WM pocket pc phone. Probably go with the Artemis since the processor is faster; i really dislike how slow my Exec got at times.

Cant find no release date, guess i have to play the waiting game now.
[General Topics] jois21:
i600 for me if you must

I believe GPS/ppc cannot be a phone at the same time, at least for now.

Not for serious/business use at any case.

best solution VGA ppc+small fast phone.

vga because its stupid to give so much money for ugly qvga with monster pixels.

my opinion.
[General Topics] fallenczar:
depends on what you want to do...if you want to use it as a Phone first pda second then go for nokia or samsung because htc's GSM radio implimentation is BAD

if its a pda first thing then go for a ppc...which one would depend on which suits you
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cc_hergott:
I cracked the screen on my Note 2, so had to go through my insurance for a new one. Everything seemed to go smoothly but the screen sensitivity is drastically different. I cannot even use a swipe keyboard anymore without it jumping all over the place. It is like my thumb is constantly jumping on and off the screen. I had to switch to a pin from a pattern lock because it was too difficult, and it is hard to answer the phone because I have to swipe it multiple time before it registers. Is there anything I can do to adjust this or is this just a poorly manufactured phone and I should contact my insurance for another one?

Does anyone know whether Towelroot works for GNex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Python.:
I've tried it and neither V1 nor V2 work with my GNex. For V1, the phone just reboots without rooting. V2 freezes after a while and force closes. This causes a reboot. But, neither version roots the phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cojomojo:
I have a stock rooted (4.4.3) Nexus 5 and a brand new 2014 Mazda 3 with the bluetooth and nav. I want to be able to browse my music playlists, and artist, etc. from the nav like I can with an iPhone. I also want to be able to view my texts, and emails like I can with an HTC One M8. However, the music over bluetooth with the N5 only allows for skipping through every song in whatever order they are in my music player on the N5. The text messages and emails also never load. I get a notification that I got them, but cant view them like I can with the HTC. There obviously is some incompatibility here. Any ideas?

--- Update---

Turns out the issue is 4.4.3 is not running AVRCP 1.4 which is required for root music folder exploring and viewing texts, etc. Anyone try and update to 1.4 on stock rooted 4.4.3?

[HTC Butterfly S] Bareq:
Guys, I have 901E and on android 4.4 with sense 5.5, my device is rooted, bootloader unlocked and S-ON, I am trying to update to Sense 6, as I received an OTA update, as I did before, I returned back to stock ROM that available in this article (DLXPUL_TW_1.21.709.3.zip), then downloading the OTA directly from device, but currently when the update finish, device keeps going on boot loop, (starting device>>>hTC logo appear>>>then restart again), I need to flash boot image from the OTA file in order to bypass this issue......

please advise

EDIT: when updating from 4.2.2 to 4.3 (stuck on boot loop, need to flash boot.img)

when updating from 4.3 to 4.4.2 w/sense 5.5 stuck on the white screen with htc logo and beats audio

I made the same procedure before when I got 4.4.2 update with Sense 5.5 as I was also rooted on 4.3, please help, I might forget some steps....
[HTC Butterfly S] Bareq:
Guys please advise......
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Well, I, for one, can't help you because from your first post it is not clear at all what you did and what went wrong. Or what exactly you need from us. If you need the firmware image to flash, then just download the OTA package linked elsewhere in this forum, and extract the firmware from there. If you need more help, be more clear.
[HTC Butterfly S] Bareq:
koniiiik thanks for your reply, let try to make it more clear....

- what I want: want to update my current version of Android.

- what I had before: Android 4.4.2 with Sense 5.5 and want to update to 4.4.2 with Sense 6 (as I received a notification to update).

- what modification I had: bootloader unlocked with htcdev, device is rooted, S-ON and TWRP installed.

- what I did: I flashed the stock ROM for my device (Android 4.2.2) in order to remove root and return to stock recovery and a complete stock ROM.

- why I did the last step: in order to get the OTA directly from device one by one (from 4.2.2 w/sense5 then 4.3 w/sense5.5 then 4.4.2 w/sense 5.5 and finally to 4.4.2 w/sense6).

- what I got: after flashing the stock ROM (Android 4.2.2 w/sense5) through TWRP, device works fine.

- then after downloading the OTA (4.3 w/sense 5.5) device stuck on bootloop

- what I did to bypass this issue: flashing boot.img from the OTA file.

- what I did next: downloaded the OTA (4.4.2 w/sense5.5) directly from the device, and install it.

- what I got: stuck on the white screen with htc logo (please not colors are not correct on the htc logo)

- what I did: tried to flash the boot.img from the OTA file, but this cannot help (just the colors are fine now)

- what is my question: why I need to flash boot.img as mentioned above? and how to get the 4.4.2 with sense 5.5 work (please be informed that I did the same steps to update to android 4.4.2 with sense 5.5 and everything works fine without any issues and no need to flash the boot.img as I mentioned before)
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
How did you install the OTA updates? Did you flash the stock recovery first, or were you trying to do that with TWRP? Did you try to download and install OTA updates by hand or did you let the phone itself download and install them? What are the precise version numbers involved? I'm not just interested in numbers such as 4.2.2, 4.3 or 4.4, but the full version string of the ROM, in each step. It sounds to me like you're trying to mix different branches of the system.
[HTC Butterfly S] Bareq:
my friend I am not trying to mix anything, I just flashed ROM version 1.21.709.3 as mentioned above which it is available in the butterfly s General section through TWRP as mentioned also in the instructions in order to return back to stock, means stock ROM and recovery, then leaving the phone to download and install updates by itself
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
In that case I don't know. You might try to use the latest stock recovery, when installing the 3.06.708.3 update on my phone I found that I had to use the recovery from that update; using anything older just failed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dleslie212:
Hello all.

So I've tried the towelroot method on my Tmobile Note 3 running 4.4.2 a total of three times with no luck according to RootChecker. I have SuperUser installed via a Reddit posters suggestion, but I am at a loss at to why root isn't working. Does anybody have any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eudeferrer:
Make sure that you are on baseband version DNE6, otherwise it won't work. I did it yesterday and it worked quickly and painlessly. If you are not, you need to upgrade first, then root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Dleslie212:
Root

Thanks for the help man. I went ahead and updated to the NE6 firmware via Kies, then tried Towelroot again. Still no go. I did download SuperSU per reddit suggestion, but it keeps giving an error about binaries. Could this be the culprit? Keep in mind I am pretty much a noob, but learn fast
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pedro2NR:
Dont install it from the google play store. You have to download supersu from this link: Download

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbgCODE:
I know that this may seem like a stupid question, but then again I never claimed to be smart but have a couple of the people who purchased unlock codes actually gotten together and taken each imei and the unlock code, then ran a script or application to generate different algorithms and functions until the same key was able to creates the unlock code properly based on the imei of the phone?

To be quite honest, it really can not be that difficult, my guess would be some sort of offset chr count of the imei and using an XOR on it or polymorphic additive encoding.

Anyway, I did just get a droid ultra, should have it tomorrow, and I will be writing a shellcode exploit for it, so I just need to wrap that into an apk, and then when it runs have it escalate into system priv's and see if I can then gain root access from that. As far as developing a way to unlock the bootloader I will need to do more research how they are setup and what they process and how before I can really say anything.

Several lifetimes according to whom? They used to say the same thing about cracking WPA2 handshakes but with CUDA and a couple of very nice graphics cards it is cut down to just a few minutes. I just thought I would put it out there..

I think I may have found a way to root the latest version but you need to install script manager and run a sh file on your phone, so I have noticed that a lot of users, if you do not just have an exe you can open and click and done they have a lot of problems so I am not sure how well it woudl fare if you had to install a script manager, install a script, then run the script.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbgCODE:
Ok, i have gotten it to work!! A simple 4 minute process that ia automated which roots your phone proper 4.4 instead of tethered and also changes the write protection to 0 no matter how many times you reboot.

Working on the directions right now and also screen shots, I understand I am not a reputable member here since I barely ever speak up but if there i anyone familiar with assembly that would like to review my code you are more than welcome to, I started with C#, then went to C, and ended up having to use assembly to do it... crazy..

Now, just need the algorithm to pop the boot loader yes? If someone would like to supply me via PM how I can get an unlock code for this phone or how I could get 3 or 4 imei with their unlock codes it would make this process much faster.

Hey man. Any progress? Could u at least release your root exploit.

Normally I would say a Spiderpodium <http://www.breffo.com/> and maybe sugru that to the bike if you want it more permanate.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] yoron:
I used a Slip-Grip RAM mount on my SV650 for my iPhone 5--worked great (sold the bike). You have to pick if you want it for a specific case, or no case. IIRC, my buddy dropped the bike which broke off the tab that holds the phone in--but he did drop it on that side.

Since I'm too new to post links, just Google Slip Grip Car mounts. SLIP-GRIP-RAM-HOL-HOLDER for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is the one I would probably get (unless you ride in inclement weather; then consider one that allows a water resistant case).

This one also needs the appropriate RAM mount for your bike--RAM makes a center mount and a handlebar mount (might even be others). The nice thing about buying this separate is that you can always keep the mount, but upgrade/change the phone holding component later.
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] laufersteppenwolf:
Dear Developers

I'm sure you already heard about the GPL around the forums. In case you did not, the GPL ("GNU General Public License") is the most common license that affects many projects, like the Linux Kernel (the Linux Kernel is licensed under the GPLv2). This affects us, XDA and its members, as we are often working with the Linux Kernel (every Android platform runs on top of the Linux Kernel).

You may ask yourself now "Well, that's nice, but how does this affect me and what does the GPL do?" The answer is pretty simple actually: The GPL guarantees users to examine, modify and share their and others code by enforcing open-sourceness. This means you are free to use any GPL'ed sourcecode for your project, but you must make your used code publically available again.

Now, as many advantages this has, it also means quite some work for us developers. All used sources must be completely public by the time the compiled binary (like a Kernel) goes online. Another requirement is, that the OP must include all information to compile the exact same binary as uploaded by the developer. This means you need to specify:

The used toolchain including its version (linking to your toolchain source is always a good idea)

The used defconfig

The link to your sourcecode (including the used branch, tags,...)

If used, also upload your scripts used for the compilation

If you upload a kernel, publish the source, but the source is not compilable, it means you are breaking the GPL as you did not release the used source. Breaking the GPL actually means breaking the law, which means the sanctions on XDA could possibly be the least of your problems...

Example:

@ROM devs, using a precompiled kernel

As you are not compiling the kernel yourself, you do not have to give the above information. However, you have to link to the source of your kernel binary (for example: link to the OP of the used kernel). If you use the stock kernel, you must state this. Linking to the stock sources is not a requirement, but it is not the worst idea.

Keep in mind; if the kernel used is not GPL compliant, your ROM is not GPL compliant either. This may cause your thread to be closed and/or further action on your account may be taken.

Example:

If you need/want further information, you might want to take a look at THIS news article written by our Developer Admin pulser_g2

I've saved some notes on my xda/wallaby in which there are small embedded sound files.

Is there a way,either within the XDA or in windows that I can separate off the sound part of the note so the sound can be used in another windows programme?

I've tried the basic way of cut and paste but as you'd guess - no dice.

Any ideas out there

Thanks all for reading.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] CharlesJS:
Perhaps I've found the ans to my own q

whoops, I've just looked back over my old posts and have seen I asked and got a reply to a similar q before.

I'll try that software to see whether it can 'pull' the embedded sound file from the note -

But If anyone knows this does / doesn't work I'd appreciate a push in the right direction.

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] CharlesJS:

Any other ideas people?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rsh2000:
Have you tried other software?

Hi,

I had the same question, but since I could'nt save my notes as mp3, I downloaded RESCO Audio Recorder (I use v3.21), and it works great. There are others that offer this possibility, you could look for one that fits your necessities.

You could also play your note while using this audio recorder software, so you get only the sound you want... I don't know if it will really work, but it's an idea.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] CharlesJS:
ref the resco prog ...

Hi there, just logged back in tonight 5:45 pm UK time, thanks for the suggestion.

I'm downloading it to my xda right now so I'' post fback for others later

BTW here's the link I used for future ref

http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/audiorecorder/downloads.asp

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] CharlesJS:
It Works ! ! !

Hi there, it works

I Installed Resco then started recording as mp3 whilst at the same time I opened the Notes file and pressed play on the embedded sound file.

So in effect the sound went 'out' the speaker embedded and back 'in' the earpiece to become an mp3

And that could then be taken into my PC

No real loss worries as the file is just 'plain vanilla' voice not music

Thanks again

XDA = 1, rest of the PDA world = 0

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] CharlesJS:
getting mp3s out of an xda

Just to confirm, the resco prog works perfectly in recording output from the loudspeaker.

I then passed the mp3 through audiacity a free open source small-scale studio style mixing programme and then uploaded the finished article.

If anyone is interested, here's the link to the file.

the sound file in question is the one called 'Dreams In The Night'

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rsh2000:
Great!

I'm glad it worked... And you're right, the sound quality remains good enough, at least for the convertion of notes to mp3...

Now I use this software directly to record my classes in mp3 format... The main problem now remains with the battery, that lasts less than 3 hours (I also use a infrared keyboard to make my notes while the recording)... I´m trying to change the battery for a new one and also getting an external charger, so I don't need to concern about it anymore... Let's see if I can get it to work...

Hello :laugh:

Just got my N5 and wanted to learn how to develop apps for it.

This is my first app for Android. Initially I started coding it with Xamarin (C#) but now I've ported it to Java.

I must say I really enjoyed coding for this platform and I apologize for the simplicity of this application, it was created just so I could get into the Android mood.

Anyway, it's a soundboard with (for now) the VOX announcement system lines from the Half-Life games (600, more or less). If you are a fan of this game like I am, I hope you will enjoy it.
