I was under the impression that flashing a custom recovery removes the ability for the phone to install OTA updates. But I could of course be wrong about that.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Maki 80:
I got new Lumia 800, my friend get it to me from germany. When I turned it on at 1st time, I saw logo of french Bouygues telecom!? Phone is workin fine, already updated to 7.8.8862.144 version, but on home screen, there are slightly visible, german (yes, german) words and ads. How can I rid my phone of that "shadow logo"? Thanks, Marko

Hi,

I am a previous user of an HTC Blueangel and a SPV C500 when I was in France then I moved to UK where I choose a Blackberry 8700g but I am not feeling really happy with it.

I mean the Blackberry is a great handset in term of reliability and it is doing what it is supposed to. But it is not really a flexible. In fact, I found that the software range is really narrow and expensive. Also, I am missing the use of a stylus. However, the jog dial is really great.

Since I can use the MS Push mail with my company email, I am really thinking to switch back to a Pocket PC phone.

By the past, I really liked my SPV C500 but I don't think I can go for a Smartphone now, I think it won't be practical for writing email and so on.

To summarize I would be happy to have some people point of view of which handset would be the best for the following requirements (MS Push Email, I am not playing game, I am not using a GPS, I am using a Samsung bluetooth headset, listen to some music sometimes and watch some video sometimes, WIFI, sliding keyboard would be appreciated, possibility to use Skype or other VOIP system if possible.....).

Any help is much appreciated.

Finally, I have some newbie question:

- Is anybody using his Pocket PC with T-Mobile Web n walk in UK?

- If the device is not AKU is it possible to upgrade it to have this functionality (maybe flash firmware)?

- Does web n walk allow the use of MSN on T-Mobile UK Web n walk?

- For the MS Push Mail is it enough to have a data plan (like Web n Walk)?

Sorry for the long post. But I am a bit lost.

Thank you very much for your help.

Julien

I think the new TyTn / Hermes will be perfect for you.

Sliding keyboard, AKU 3.0 with all it's goodies, WIFI G, BT 2.0 400MHZ processor and 2MP camera as a bonus (+ VGA camera for video calls).

I am not on T-MBILE but I can answer a couple of your questions:

1) All WM5 devices manufactured today come with at least AKU 2.0 newer devices come with AKU 3.0 and up. Some older devices get updates from the manufacturer but not all.

2) All you need for push mail is internet access (GPRS / UMTS / WIFI) and an Exchange server on the other side.

Oops. My mistake, somehow I remembered seeing it with the green windows screen.

Still I liked it from the brief experience I had with it.

How is it working out for you?
[General Topics] TheBrit:
The T-Mobile version of the Hermes is the MDA Vario II

Just in case you didn't know...
[General Topics] jchoco:
Thank you guys for the information.

Indeed I think I will go for the Hermes. The only problem might be the budget.

What about he MDA Vario (i.e. Qtek 9100) is it good? I am a bit worried since the processor is only 200Mhz.

I will try to see if I can trade my blackberry against a Hermes or another one (with complement maybe).

It's pretty good - see for example my game reviews, where I also elaborate on the given title's playability on the Wizard.

hi julien

check ebay and see what price you can get for your old phones.better than trading in !
[General Topics] TheBrit:
Get the Vario II (Not the Vario)

Vario = Wizard = 200MHz

Vario II = Hermes = 400MHz

I'm in Baltimore, MD and already on my gs4 i had this problem where sometimes my 4G will stop working and on the data activity indicator arrows only the up arrow will be on (like this)

And the only way i get it working again is toggling airplane mode... This happens every 20 min or so, and it is extremely annoying.

Is anyone familiar with this problem? And is there anything i can do?

If i had it on my s4 and you have 3 different phones all with the same problem it's probably t mobile, and like the previous commenter said, the nexus 5 also had this problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
I have this too, here i thought i was deleting too much bloat from the system. But apparently not. IMO, i think its Android 4.4.2 and T-Mobile. I had this issue happen on all 4.4.2 ROMs even on my S4. It didn't happen until i flashed the 4.4.2 ROMs. So I think T-Mobile may have made a mistake in their coding when making the update. Lets see what the next update will bring. I wonder how we could even bring up this issue to them because i guarantee you they will claim its the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aryehzev:
Don't remember because i have been on 4.4.2 forever, and i can't check because theres no other option besides for buggy aosp, but there have been a few updates within 4.4.2 like NF6 which added VoLTE...

Btw if this is a common problem something should be done... This really f*king sucks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bubblebuddyi:
Its definitely T-Mobile. A T-Mobile rep told me the issue might be LTE, and to try turning it to 4G only, seemed to help me.

Hello everyone

i was trying to deodex the stock rom 4.4.2 italy (T211)

after flashing the deodex zip i created

the tab went in to recovery boot loop

this happened with me when i flashed a mod for t211 which worked totally fine on 4.1.2

what is wrong?

is it because of the zip file or the kitkat stock rom..?

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
loopiness for everybody ....yay

e.r.,

please describe your process from flashing to recovery loop as clearly and descriptively as possible.

one thought is some sort of mutual check going on between boot and recovery

another is tampering with fusedlocation.apk is a guaranteed loop.

i dl'd the boot.img and will let you know if i find anything.

sorry to impose further but i might need recovery.img as well.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethical ricado:
Wow, thats weird

but i think that devs here would surely come up with something

sure

i flashed the stock kitkat

then booted (welcome screen and stuff)

booted to download mode and flashed a custom recovery (philz cwm)

download that root zip (chainfire 1.94 update) and flashed it

while leaving the recovery, it asked for

prevent system from erasing root something

i choose

fix root

then it booted

downloaded supersu and blah

then was deodexing the rom

got the kitkat deodexer

created a zip file

then went to recovery and flashed it

then reboot to system

again the same fix root issue

selected fix and recovery boot loop

no worries bro

here you go

?

e.r.,

i don't understand, your response did not answer my question.

are you saying that you do not have an issue?

m

on a side note; i didn't find anything jn boot.img even suggesting a script/execution of a script.

it's my hope that you have retained the firware in question because i would like you

to crack it open and see if there is a new BOOTLOADER img included, not boot.img/kernel.img

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
??

e.r.,

umm so if there is no issue then there is nothing that needs to be done.

as for the image showing the list if you reflash you ORIGINAL stock firware and then pickout the boot,system,images and flash them alone you might break the root-break samsung tried to pull, BUT if there is no issue then there is nothing to do.

based on your responses do you see where i'm confused?

m

on a side note here is a modified boot.img, ro.secure=0 adb.secure=0 and system should be mounted system rw [maybe]

The only issue i faced so far was the recpvery boot loop

And i guess that might be because of the wrong zip file

But will try your method tomorrow and see what happens
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
Noooooooooo

e.r.,

okay DON'T do that skyelm just told me there's a lot more in this firmware than the original stock, meaning your bootloader

is already overwritten and original stock will not correct that. we need someone still running original firware to

pull/dump their first and secondstage bootloaders if i'm starting to understand the actual ****edupedness of this mess.

what would be good is to shoot me another pic of what's in the original firmware.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moonbutt74:
okay

e.r.,

okay so it's what skyelm said you see the differences?

so now we need a t211 owner with ORIGINAL FIRMWARE to dump their boot loaders and post them.

for now your stuck with what you have.

m
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethical ricado:
yea bro

will try that workaround now

lets see what happens

EDIT:

The workaround is working

flashed the zip again just to repeat that boot loop stuff and it happened

then booted to download mode and flashed stock recovery via odin

the tab booted to system and everything was fine

then did the workaround to flash the deodexed zip i created

and it worked pretty well

To give a little background info: I'm complete noob as far as android is concerned and I just bought moto e to get me started with android world.

I don't know about others but I certainly feel overwhelmed by shear magnitude of this world and feel little lost >.>

So, put it in one line, I wold like to get help from experts and maybe other people who also bought this phone or something similar to make my life little easier as going all gung ho in app store doesn't seem like a good approach to me, especially with low bandwidth net I've.

As I mentioned, this is my first Android phone and I would like to know about the ''free'' apps which I should install for following things.

Protection from virus/spyware/theft?

File browser if it can extend the capacity of default browsing system.

Web browser which performs well on low bandwidth but is also decent.

Social networking apps (I've already installed Whatsapp as it was known to even gadget challenged person like me)

Ebook and PDF file reader.

Caller ID and call as well as voice recorder.

Those reviewers were not kidding when they said camera sucked on this phone, so if there any app to make it better/more useful?

App for sketching and drawing.

App for navigation (if there is need)

Small time games like racing and pool/snooker etc. I'm not really a game seaway so things on youtube looked too much for me .-.

Any other useful recommendations are welcome as well.

And You just cant ask away everything as this is not a place for app advicing you got playstore for that and free paid apps you know how to get them and dont ask about them as it is not allowed [i personally disagree as its just skipping money from wrong people]

and please use "search" thing before you ask

Sorry about the section thingy, I saw the ''theme and app'' thing on the section header(?) so thought this would be the right place to go.

Actually, anything that has human factor involved is a security risk, Linux or not. While Android OS itself might be very well secured, what you install on it makes world of difference (hence my reluctance), depending on sources. It is true that I'm noob to android gadgets, I'm very well familiar with Linux as that is what I use more than 90% of the time. On the Linux forum I'm frequent at, this topic usually causes ton of debate and after few good points it end with exactly what you said, so I wont fan that fire.lol Just wanted to know if there is one. And by the way, Virus=/=malware, virus is just one of the many forms of Malware. And even Linux is not ''that'' secure/immune from latter, its just less of a riped fruit to pluck, something contrary to its child; Android and hence the question.

When I said making cam better/more useful, it was more aimed at making its stock camera UI/app (w/e you may call it) a little more useful by adding more quality/functions or simply make came more easier to use with different UI, this has no bearings on camera hardware in question. I do apologize for wording this wrong in initial post though.
