Well I have got a Jasjam on order (been waiting 6 weeks but should be here in 2-3 days) and I have a I-Blue GPS. I also have a TomTom 6 on my IIs which runs great and has maps of the whole of Australia and you can get maps for all over the world. When I get the Jasjam I will pair it with the I-Blue and see how it goes. I will let you know how I get on. Also how are you finding your Jasjam? Also how are you finding battery life?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sir_italia:
To be honest I got it when it first came out and I have a few issues like the keyboard not working sometimes, the fone freezeing a coulpe of times the active sync screwing up on the PDA forceing a hard reset to fix the problem. Battery lIfe not sure I listen to it on the train and it goes from 100% to 90% and this is every day so I charge it like twice a week. Also the bluetooth plays Up. I have performed 2 hard resets. But in all honestly I have learnt to live with the porblems but after a hard resset all the problems disappear. I love my JASJAM. Which also comes unlocked from TELSTRA :) :):)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
I am getting mine from Telstra. Thanks for the info. I take it you didn't get yours from Telstra? Because if you did I am a bit worried.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sir_italia:
Of course I got it from TELSTRA. The guy who sold it to me said "you can expect this as it is a new product which is the first in its class". Also if they tell you that you get 2 months free internet it is not true they told me that can then i noticed by bill said $150 for data usage so I rang up and complained and got two months for free for real and also a credit on my bill :) Also it is pretty expensive if you dont get a data pack I only use the net on it at home on my wireless so it doesnot worry me. Just becareful of what they say
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
I once got hit for $200 because Journal Bar http://www.omegaone.com/journalbar/ppc/default.htm connected to the internet to update the news and I didn't realise for 9 hours and in that time it had updated 9 times!!!!!!! Because I am getting the Jasjam on a business plan it is 50c per KB so I thought that it was best to get a $29 data pack or their could be a nasty surprise on the bill. Over in the UK on T-Mobile you can get unlimited GPRS for seven pound and here it is sometimes 50c a KB!!!!!!!!! As soon as they were released I got over to the Telstra shop to look at them and to see on their pricing and I got told that I could have one included on a $50 business plan so I went away and made a appointment with the accounts manager to get a few of them and he said that it would have to be on a $70 plan and I have been waiting 6 weeks for them to get them in and they said on Thursday that they would have them in within a week so I should finally get them. So it all just goes to show that with Telstra you have to do all the research yourself or they will stuff you round.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sir_italia:
Ok got mine on the $80 plan but the options are pretty crap. Also this fone as present can not be insured I asked for it and they said sure no probs fill in this form and we will fax it of and it will be insured for $8 a month. Then a lady ring me and say no insurance cuase it is a PDA/Phone what is the go with this?? miss informed again. Also you are unable to check the account balance on the phone form the phone for some reason or if you manage to you get charged for it whre as every other provider offers it as a free service. But telstra makes you pay for everything :(:(:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
I have rung the accounts manager each week to see when they will be coming in and each week he is "I don't know and don't care I have other customers to deal with bye" and that is what they are like when you have you have a business and all the mobiles with them!!!!!!!! I felt just getting them online from the USA but I was concerned about the warranty and as Telstra is the only store that sells them you are at their mercy!!! :( :( :( :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sir_italia:
That is kind of true you could of purchased them from 3 but they only have stock of 500 in AUS, and you have to pay for them whereas with Telstra you own them and they also come with 2yrs warranty standard. Do you know where I can buy a cheap bluetooth GPS receiver from as I want to try the GPS. I think that any bluetooth reciever will work cause all it is doing is just sending and recieving a signal. Then I just have to find the software I had it before but I lost it :(:(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
All the GPS software on E-Bay http://computers.listings.ebay.com....QQfromZR4QQsacatZ64371QQsocmdZListingItemList
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
How much do you want to pay for the GPS? A good one is about $150 inc postage.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sir_italia:
$150 is fine.

"For Sale - Unofficial TomTom 6 Navigation Software for Pocket PC. This software will work on any bluetooth enabled Pocket PC running windows Mobile 2002 onwards with a SD Card Slot. The Software will be delivered on cd with easy instructions on how to load it on to your memory card." Man this sounds like the guy has downloaded the sw from the net and is just selling it LOL.

Also how big are the maps and program if I need a min o 512mb I currenty have 1024 which is half full with music?? Cause others say min 256mb
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
Sorry about the link to the TomTom software it is unofficial so DON'T buy it I just looked at it again and realised. I am really sorry.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sir_italia:
Nah man it is fine it is pretty funny. He should just say this is the link pay me $120 and you can dl it straight away no need to wait for it in the mail LOL
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
Well on my device which has maps of Aus and the program it adds up to about 100mb so if you have a 1Gb half full it should be fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
Well I have used Destinator 5 on my IIs and it was so slow that you would be going along the highway and then you take the exit and you would have been of the highway for about 4 minutes and it still said that you were on it so I changed to TomTom 6 and I find it great.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
Here is the I-Blue GPS http://cgi.ebay.com.au/i-Blue-PS-73...yZ129259QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I use the I-blue but it is the previous model but I still find it great and the battery just keeps going. I find it has great accuracy and picks the signal up very quickly. I found that TomTom only registers it if it is on COM6 so you just create a new COM port and it works fine.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sir_italia:
That is good to know so I should go for the TomTom 6 and this is like 100mb installed. Also are the maps free to update via the net or do i have to pay to dl them. Cause there are so many ppl on ebay selling the software on flash memory
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
Well on my device it takes about 8 MB internal memory for the software as it runs faster if it is on the internal memory and the maps and POIs are about 100 MB so it doesn't take up much memory which is great. As for maps you get Aus when you get it but then I think the Aus maps have a fee if you want to get the updated ones but their won't be new maps out till this time next year. You can get maps for most of the world.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sir_italia:
Thank you at least I know which way to go now. I will research more when I get home tonite from work and have full internet access. But you have been a great help Where abouts in Aus you from if you dont mind me asking.

Well I live between Launceston in Tasmania and Townsville in Queensland as I have a business up in Townsville but I like Tasmania. One thing is with TomTom if you get the package I think they have a Bluetooth GPS included.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
Have a look here http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GPS-SOFTWARE...ryZ34290QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem This has TomTom 6 and the fellow selling it is the guy that I got my IIs off and he has great support, very helpful, and you should be able to get everything for about $300. He is who I got TomTom off to.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
What do you think?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sir_italia:
Thanxs for the link but it comes up invalid I managed to get a copy of the tomtom 6 form one of my mates last night who has it on his PDA. I just need to get Bluetooth GPS. Then I am all set to go I cant wait

Cheap GPS

Has anyone tried one of the cheap GPS recievers from eBay? It seems some of they are only $25 or so. What are the down sides to a cheap GPS?

thanks,

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PPCNUT:
The downsides are the technology in them is older and they are not always as accurate and can take longer to get a fix.

Garmin GPS 10 and TyTN

I have the Garmin GPS 10 (BT) and I use Garmin Que Software and it works great for Turn By Turn with voice prompts. It uses 31 MB for the World Base Map and additional 39 MB for both Street Level Maps (with Turn By Turn and Voice Navigation) and Topo for the entire State of Colorado. Garmin Que (program) is only 3MB.

I like it!

It works great on my phone, and when I use it with my GPS it is a very useful, free program. No voice directions in this version, but the aerial maps are accurate for me and directions seem to be fine.

[General Questions and Answers] ShrinkWrap561:
Hello,

My phone was running a stock ROM, it was not rooted.

On Tuesday morning i received notification on my phone that I had an update for 4.2.2. I applied the update and it appeared that everything went fine. Unfortunately, the phone immediately began re-booting every two to three minutes.

I have re-set the phone to factory defaults - no change.

I have used different batteries - no change.

I have put the phone into safe mode - no change.

If I put the phone in download mode - it does not re-boot.

I have tried to revert back to an older ROM but ODIN errors out.

Does AT&T have the ability to re-push the update OTA or even roll back to an older version?

Of course my contract is 5 months away from being fulfilled so I believe that I would be forced to pay full price for a new phone should I not be able to resolve this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
your phone likely is not broken physically, it just needs to be re-flashed. the problem with that is, the flash files dont always get released or leaked right when the ota comes out.

unless someone has a better idea, your best option is probably to keep an eye on your phone specific forum for someone to post the flash file for this new update.

it really doesnt matter if they could push the update again, it would fail on verifying the current install.

if the device was unlocked, it could be rolled back to an older version. i wouldnt hold my breath waiting for them to do that for you.

you could check the forums and see if there is a way to unlock it yourself. some can be unlocked, a lot cant.
[General Questions and Answers] ShrinkWrap561:
Update...I went to a SAMSUNG experience (or whatever they are called) in a Best Buy and I re-flashed the phone with 4.4.2...no improvement.

I have tried to root the phone with Towel Root and CyanogenMod but neither worked.

In additional attempts to figure this out, My son noticed that if the phone was connected to a computer, it did not re-boot. He though that it was related to it being connected to a power source so he plugged it into a charger, the phone would still re-boot.

So what we have determined is the phone needs to think that it is connected media device. The phone then works as it should.

Any ideas on how to resolve this? If the phone's battery dies and we are not near a useable computer, the phone is then again a paper weight.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
you have got me on this one. it acts like a classic software issue. now that that has been eliminated.

you performed a factory reset after the flash im assuming?

i don't know what else to tell you, if the software is clean, it has to be hardware damage.

sorry

The module has a bug (SOLVED) with Sony Xperia Z Ultra:

Specailly in vertical screen.

This happens on Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6802 Kit Kat 4.4.4 with root and SuperSU.

[Thinkpad Tablet General] esimard:
Good morning All!

This is my first post here, hopefully I post in the right place. I have an old TPT, perfect device for my kids, all it need to do is run Zoodles. Was running fine with CM9, then one day, a couple of months back, it got stock on the Lenovo boot splash. Was getting ready to move so it made it in a box.

Trying to fix it now. Nut looks like I am in need of some advice and direction.

This is what I have done so far.

Boot into recovery kernel and tried to restore from my backup I had done before putting CM9 on it. Tried factory reset, None of which works.

The closest I got is with the restore of my backup, then when It rebooted, Ut got past the first Lenovo boot splash, we see Nvidia splash, then Animated Lenovo splash start, then device turns off and then back on.

Within the recovery kernel when I look at the logs, there is complaints about /data being in read-only mode during restore. I cannot unmount or format /data.

I think at this stage my best chance is to restore to stock with NVFlash. I am a little uncomfortable doing this without some advice first as I have no clue where to start

Model number is: 1839-22f

Could anyone assist? I am a professional IT, but My android knowledge is limited.

Thank you.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] martiniturbide:
Hi esimard.

Sadly it is not much I can help.

From what I read about the issues of this tablet, and since Lenovo didn't release a plain recovery method in case of software corruption (like a vanilla Android with an installer), the only way I understand it can be fixed is booting it in APX mode and try to fix it with nvflash commands.

You need to be sure that your APX mode is not locked. If it is locked, I don't know any solution since Lenovo don't want to release the bootloader keys for this tablet (because the tablet contains DRM software).

If you can execute nvflash command and you didn't get an error (disconnection), maybe you can recover it. But you need to have the images of the partitions and sadly I don't have those. And I had never tried the nvflash commands.

Sorry for not being helpful, but maybe someone else can give you better hints here.

I tried to document everything about this tablet here: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Lenovo_ThinkPad%20Tablet

I'm really willing to write on the wiki a tutorial on how to recover this tablet using nvflash.

Regards

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------

Why don't you try first the basic nvflash.exe commands to see if you have access to the APX Mode.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] whtciv2k:
Precisely. They've been doing it with 3G for years. It will only be throttled if you fall within the 5th percentile of heavy usage amongst unlimited data users and that ONLY applies to towers where there is heavy activity. This means that (depending on the month) the 5th percentile mean is 5gb and you stay below that, you won't be throttled. I wouldn't get too worried.

On a side note, I had gone to Verizon and picked up a new S5 on their edge plan and on their tiered data plan, after about a week, I decided to return it and get my unlimited data plan back (it took about a week for them to revert). I'm glad I did. I'm 10 days into my billing cycle and I've already used about 6gb of data. *whew*
