Good luck in finding one as they are out of stock everywhere. I do find a shop in Wanchai computer mall that still has some stocks last week but they are selling with a HK$500 premium.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bnycastro:
does this mean the issues have been resolved? I always visit WCC... I actually lurk in that place for hours hehehe I usually buy from MASTER OA. I think I've bought 2 to 3 pda's from them already.

The real problem IS: doeas HARDWARE hermes issues have been resolved?

Software shoud be always be resolved in ROM releases...

HTC NEVER admitted OFFICIALLY to have hardware problem, so they couldn't say "It is solved!" :)

From internet knowledge we don't have real hardware modification related to different serial numbers (they means only year, week, number of unit built

HTC642100, as an example, could be assembled now)

One thing is accomplished: THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AWFUL IN MOST COUNTRIES!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bydandie:
Sergio, have you actually phoned HTC? I know you have and they admitted the fault, didn't they? This fault does not affect all HTC devices, so as a businessman would you post a press release stating that there is an issue which is obviously down to poor QA but does not affect all devices? All that would happen is that everyone would send them back. No business is going to do that, but to state that HTC are not officially recognising the issue is also a bit misleading.

HTC are wholly wrong with this, but I feel too that people have tended to look for support from here rather than speak to HTC direct.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bnycastro:
:( well I guess I will have to 'pass' on the Hermes for the meantime. Pity it really seems like a great device [specs wise] I might go unconverged though... thinking of getting a Smartphone maybe the SGH-i607 from Samsung [WM of course] and a PPC [maybe the iPAQ with 1Gb on board storage memory, that way I could still use my 4Gb SD card] I was thinking of getting an FS t830 but it seems it's difficult to get outside of Europe... The palm Treo 750v is miniSD which is a bummer... wish they kept it SD :( So for now I guess I am stuck with my Universal and my trusty Nokia 3100 hehehe.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bnycastro:
well the problem is HTC or it's subsidiaries like dopod don't have a presence in all territories [case in point the Philippines, AFAIK they only have a distributor here and they aren't really pushing dopod products, we don't even have the smartphones like the 577W or 595 or even the 838 yet... we do have the 818pro and dopod900] so having to talk to dopod asia [singapore and potentially having to ship your device there] is really troublesome :( ah the pains of living in a 3rd world country... but I digress. Maybe the next generation of the HERMES will be better built.

Pards,

I think the Dopod 838pro with HT636XXX or higher is safe now....I just got it last month, but gave it to my daughter.

I bought the Tmo Vario II last week HT634XXX and got SA after 3 days on my pocket. I will return it back on Staurday (Im now in Bangkok).

I am thinking of getting another Dopod 838pro or XDA trion after returning the Vario II, or get back on my Universal...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
SA is the only hardware issue these days. HTC will repair this if it happens.

A2DP isn't the greatest with the current ROM offerings. Only a few A2DP headsets are known to work w/o skipping:

I-Tech S35/R35 clips. There have been fidelity issues raised

Nokia HS-12W. A good setup marred by somewhat limited range (3-4 meters).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bnycastro:
Actually saw the mod already but I don't think I have the skills do it on my own. Maybe I will check out a unit when I'm at the shops... hope I am not too tempted... :P
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] veej:
I bought my 838Pro last week and it has the following issues:

1. BB Connect will not reconnect after a signal lost. Only way to reconnect is to do a soft reset.

2. BT headphone not working. I can only heard the ringtone and cannot talk and also cannot listen to the music.

3. I have all my songs in the memory card and the MP3 player doesn't seems to be able to find them. However, they appears when I used the file manager and not the MP3 player.

4. Frequently hanged. 1 to 2 reset per day.

5. BT icon is missing and I cannot find it anyway.

I used a O2 Trion for 1 month, there is No any hardware issue like screen issue, but when use ADAP with SE HBH-DS970, it stop at every minute.

And the wifi recieving signal is very very poor.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergiopi:
I talk with HTC, and they ADMIT "is a well known hardware fault", but only by voice (have you read the legal stuff below their messages? Funny, they have Homer simpson as consultant?).

Called, they gave me a number, where to pay just to have a second number, were to BRING (yes old way, bus or taxi, or car, no UPS in HTC world) my phone has to be sent to.. to the first number called! Courtesy phone? NONE Estimated time? At least 15 working days (and call HTC service but is the same dangaard italyservice, famous in many italan forums, but not for his quality :( )

AS A businessman I learned since Ralph Nader a Lesson: if you have a clear Hardware problem in a new device say it LOUD, BUT when you have the solution and the service to apply it :)

I am sure they are good businessmen (in the old economy world) and they officially stay quiet, because they patched, but NOT solved the problem.

Will be so easy to publish a note with pictures with the OLD clip and the new one, the OLD chassis and the new one, they are fixing for free EVERY device, because all devices sold have less than one year of life!

The real problem, I believe, is that they DON'T have a real support network and if only 50% of the HTC's Hermes sold will be sent back... they have to shut down the support network! :D

The second problem is that they are Digital immigrants and they don't understand digital native rules and language. Post on the web site something official, start an interaction about service.

I worked with one of the biggest car manufaturer in europe: the customer service received a lot of e-mail from a swedish man that had the car (and was a real expensive one) completely burned by an electrical problem during the night, having also the house destroyed. Nobody want to speak to him, having in mind how angry he could be, asking for money... and so on.

We answered to the e mail, gently and he said: "I have to fix my house, everithing was paid from insurance company, but do you want to bring the car in your factory to understand why this happened? I need to re-build the garage and the car is in the middle!"

We sent someone to take care of the car and he ordered a new one (other model, same company) after two weeks!

They can chose to loose money on this business or try to understand the language!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] veej:
I was trying to use my DS970 with it also. It paired up ok but can only play the ringing tone. No music can be transmitted through and certainly cannot talk through it.

It work perfectly with the P990i though...:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bnycastro:
Ok now I'm really confused just read a couple of reviews singing praises for this device... and yet there are also a lot of complaints.

To those using BT [A2DP especially] has anyone tried using a Motorola HT820 with it? I have this headset and wouldn't want to have to buy a new headset if ever I do get this device.

--

What is the price of the 838pro in HKG?

--

Also this is microSD right what is the highest capacity microSD card and price in HKG? [Just in case I get one I have to factor in the memory card costs as well]

I'm off to HKG tomorrow so any info would be appreciated hehehe. Thanks in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] veej:
I have not tried HT820 but I tried all the stereo BT headphones already and have trouble with all with the 838Pro.

Price for the 838Pro ran from about HK$6,100 to 6,600, depending whether you can find one or not. You can also buy directly from the carrier but I think CSL is out of stocks. There are some in "3" shop but stock again, is very limited. If you want to have Blackberry Connect installed however, you will have to buy it from "3". I know for a fact that "3" specially requested BB Connect to be installed in their machines. You will not find BB Connect on any other place.

The max capacity for Micro SD I think is 2GB. Not sure about the price but if you go to WCC the price should be all listed out and they are usually within a few tens of HK dollar.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bnycastro:
Thank you for the info veej. Will keep those in mind when lurking around HKG.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] drummer10630:
I have owned a Dopod 838 Pro, ht631, and now I own an Orange m3100, ht632, and NEITHER have had any screen problems or any other problems. BTW, Dopod IS releasing the 838 Pro in the Philippines very soon, so you will be able to get the unit with local warranty. They say it should be priced around 48k pesos. I have Motorola ht820 headphones and they work great after I applied the firmware patch found here:

...those of you that see any HT820 with designation SYN948A, SYN948B or SYN948C printed inside the headset band, you probably have this problem. Well, there is a FIX:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bnycastro:
Thanks for the info drummer. I did hear something similar they [distributor] moved the release from Oct to Nov, 48K PhP huh not bad really for the specs [although it would be definitely cheaper in HKG or Taiwan]. Hmmm I didn't bring my HT820s to work today I will check if it requires the patch you mentioned I get some skipping sometimes with my Universal.

hi i have stock rooted gs3 on kitkat and would ike to install goodness rom which i believe is on JB. (MIJJz+Goodness+JB+v10.0.4+MD4)

what do i need to do and what files?

ive tried to flash over but gives me error.so there is no way to do this by myself and i will need instructions.

please help and thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
Its a fairly simple process. You can flash the ROM you are wanting to but because you are on the KitKat build you must NEVER try to revert to a lower boot loader or modem. Doing so will cause a bricked phone. Meaning you can't ever try to downgrade by flashing a previous stock tar through Odin. What you'll need to do is have a custom recovery. Philz is the recommended recovery for the KitKat build as its been doing the best so far. If you don't already have a custom recovery you can get it by searching 'philz recovery for sprint galaxy s3' (assuming you have sprint of course) you need to get the tar form so you can flash it through Odin. Once you've flashed it I suggest making a backup. After your backup is complete just flash the ROM you desire as instructed in its OP. Best of luck to you

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

You can find the latest philz recovery in this thread. Hope it helps you out a little.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] renejas:
Thanks droid

I already have Philz and made backup.and when I try to install this rom I have error coming.it was like "expected 5 ..got 4" dont remember exact words.

Just to make clear..I clear dalvic..cashe and factory reset.and then install zip and choose the rom.

Right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
If memory serves me correctly when choosing to install zip there's an option right after you select install zip that says update binary. Unclick that and you should be good to go. Clean to flash new rom-wipe cache-wipe dalvik-install rom-wioe cache-wipe dalvik-reboot system-profit!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] renejas:
Dont update old binary.I uncheck that and im good? Alright..lets try that now.

UPDATE

nothing happened,

this time i have :E:Error in /storage /sdcard1/MIJJz+Goodness+JB+v10.0.4+MD4

(status 7)

Installation aborted
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoHnNYBlaZE716:
Sorry it didn't help, I to tried flashing that ROM but was unsuccessful. I recommend trying wicked x v7.1 that's what I'm rocking right now and it is (IMO) flawless!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
try re downloading the rom and putting it on your internal storage when wiping on philiz touch when you click wipe/factory there should be a second option that says full wipe clean/new rom install which i have used to flash other roms on my s3 that should take care of wiping but when flashing i like to put my files in my internal storage to have less errors.........but i'm also new here try what i have said but make sure you have a backup of the working rom

edit: with the infuse since it didn't make it past GB officially when you want a JB rom and are on kk you just odin back to stock then re root add cwm then flash away but as i barely found out with the s3 you can't go back to stock if your on official 4.4.2 cause it will cause brick so if my info above this doesn't help then im sorry
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] renejas:
ill just quit.

thanks to 6th_Hokage (ive tried ur instructions and doesnt work either) and droid716 .

its not that important to have that rom anyway.

ill find some kk rom and check it out.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Faddlisyamsul:
Hi all, I'm a new user here, it is nice to meet u all.

So straight to the point, currently I'm suffering a few problems with my Xperia ZL.

To make it clear, at first, I send my phone to a shop to replace my damaged sim tray.

At that time, there is no any problem with my ZL except the sim tray (therefore no signal, cannot makes call etc)

But when I received my phone, it comes with these problems:

-no sound from speaker, there is sound if I plug in earphone/earpiece

-no vibration

-no secondary camera function in the camera software

-mic is not working

I've entered the code *#*#7378423#*#* to confirm the problem and yes, the problem exist. In addition, when I try to test my secondary camera in the test menu, it shows ''this device does not support this function''.

The sim tray problem is solved, but disappointingly other problems rise.

I try to call the shop (online service) and they refuse to fix these problems even they are the one who cause it! :rolleyes:

They said it is a root problem (it is my first time to hear the term).

PLEASE GUYS, I NEED HELP, WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO DO IF THIS IS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM...? :crying: :crying: :confused:

additional data:

model number C6502

android 4.3

Hi

Please download the 4.3 FTF from the xda thread and flash it back using Flash tool.

I faced the same issue with 4.4.2(US version) and reverted back to 4.3 and it worked

Hopefully the issue is now fixed with new indian update

[Sony Xperia ZL] Faddlisyamsul:
Hello Hitesh, thanks for your reply.

I just want to double confirm, do u faced the same problems like me? I mean the problem with no vibration, no front camera and no sound from speaker?

How do u get the problems? Is it from the kitkat update?

I just want to clarify that my problems didnt arise from kitkat update. Its already there before i update to kitkat. I'm afraid downgrading to 4.3 wont solve the problems.
[Sony Xperia ZL] hitesh.pande:
I had only problems with speaker and not the front camera and other things

one of my collegue had issue with camera and it was fixed by giving it to sony service centre

I think you might have to go back to Sony service centre

all the best!!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Faddlisyamsul:
Thanx mate.

I am trying my best to solve the problem first by myself. I would as much as possible from xda forum and let say there is nothing i can do rather than sending it to the expert, then i will send it.

I really hope i can save my money by fixing the software by myself. Haha :laugh:

Hi There,

seems that a found as well a BMW <=>XperiaZ <=> 4.4.2 friend ;)

I had as well some troubles there.

In My F30 - connected drive - I was able to read my e-mails in the car screen, and was able to do a lot of work here.

But after that, this feature was not longer avaialble, and at the moment I beleive it's related on some sharpened Exchange Server policies , which were able to be installed with this update.

This still is true, but I ma still investigation on some Mail.apk/Email.APK, SEMCEmail.apkand Exchange2.Apk with changed/modified administartor handling.

What I as well found out, is that the blootooth pairing and the features with SMS reading, updating the phonebook worked not perfectly.

What I did,I deleted the blootooth connection on both, phone and car, and renamed the Xperia, started a totally new coupling, and it is fine now.

Except the mail Interface. I totally understand, that a company wnat's to save the data, but at least for my private account it should work, which is not the case.

Do you have (still have) other problems.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ankur85:
same bro, I found the solution by pressing the throw button then press disconnect and connect again and everything went normal, but it still made me uncomfortable, hopefully there is an improvement on the A2DP Bluetooth connection 4.4.2
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigre72:
BMW E88, 4.4.2 I guess what you mean by renaming is the name of the phone's Btooth obviously. I will try today if there is some success. I couldn't get the phonebook, calls to sync and when entering a call could not answer from wheeldrive or IDrive, just the phone
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigre72:
No luck in renaming, I downgraded to 4.2.2 with success. Everything works properly: syncs contacts asking for phonebook, syncs missed calls... No weird things. But obviously the best solution it's not to be in jelly bean. Do you agree?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morfindir:
Why, hello there! :cowboy:

First of all i would like to apologize for two things:

(1) My English is awful so bear with me please!

(2) I couldn't find an answer for this question and i tried really hard. So if there does exist an answer please point me to it nicely :D

Now, concerning my problem.

I have bought Elephone P8 from Banggood . com

(link could not be uploaded cause i am a new user)

(if you want to view the phone go to Banggood and searh for Elephone P8 :angel: )

From Day 1 I have had a problem with my screen. It touches itself!! :eek:

I didn't do anything for that problem as i didn't believe it could be possible for a phone to touch the screen itself.

Now into details:

When i unlock my phone and use it after a couple of minutes (i have enabled the option to view the clicks on the screen) i see thousand clicks on my touchscreen in a vertical line. From the speaker (where you talk) to the home button. It is always in the same line!! :confused:

And when i close the display of my phone and unlock it again, the thousand clicks stop and the phone works normally again.. :/

I know that it is hardware problem because i have changed roms, i have rooted and i did all i could to fix it softwarely! :fingers-crossed: SO i am convinsed it is Hardwared reallated issue! :victory:

MY QUESTION IS:

How can i fix this problem if i want to open my phone?? If i change the glue between the glass and the LCD will it fix it?? :D

Please , please , please! Don't tell me to send it back and ask for a new one OR take it to an expert to fix it! :D

THANKS A BUNCH GUYS!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samhell:
It could (!) be just some stress on the Screen. Maybe you could do something if you just disassemble it, look where the stress could come from, and put it together again after that.

I had that a few years before, and for me was the Solution to bend the Case a bit, in which the Screen was pressed.

Hopefully that works for you :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morfindir:
Thanks for your reply man! :D I really appreciate it!

Now that you mention it, when i dissasembled my phone i couldnt unscrew the last screw that is attaching the motherboard to the screen. It was so hardly screwed! :confused:

Maybe that little screw does the job, so i will try and unscrew it! :D

ONE MORE THING

If for some reason i can't find the pressure point from inside the phone, what other options do i have?? Since i have scratched the front glass a bit, i am in the temptation to change the front glass and clean the Screen a bit.

What do you think?

P.S.: Further advice is very much appreciated! :D

Hi All,

I have managed to flash a D855 Rom on a F400L mainly through messing around. Not sure how to really make a right up. Everything seemed to be working fine as well.
[G3 General] m3dd0g:
You flashed a d855 Rom on your f400l and everything is working?
[G3 General] jms.flynn:
Yes

Everything seems fine. When i first loaded it up i was getting a bluetooth error but that is no longer there and bluetooth is working.
[G3 General] m3dd0g:
Please tell me how you flash and what country code of d855 rom?
[G3 General] jms.flynn:
So I downloaded the d855 tot from this site, and extracted the system.img. Then on my F400L rom I installed root and busy box, flashed the system image and then flashed a modified build prop in recovery. Factory rest and wipe cache, reboot and now i have a f400L with an international rom.
