On my Bionic, Stock ROM has an option to have the Caller ID Readout set to "Caller ID then Ring". I have played with a few CyanogenMOD Roms and other roms but cannot find one that contains this feature. It is not anywhere in the phone settings or in the accessibility options (short of TalkBack but that reads much more than just the Caller ID with no way to restrict to just Caller ID Readout). If anyone has any experience on how to get this activated in a custom ROM let me know. I have searched the interweb up and down for any apk that would provide this feature with no success. Thanks.

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SANGER_A2:
The wifi and Bluetooth are on the same chip. They don't like to run at the same time! It's a hardware issue, not software that no manufacturer seems to care about. Every Android device I have used has issues when using both at the same time. For example, Bluetooth headphones for watching youtube videos means the wifi cuts out every few minutes. A possible solution would be a cheap usb Bluetooth dongle via USB otg.

A router which has 5 Ghz WiFi always also has 2.4 Ghz because indeed only some devices support 5 Ghz, so a router with only 5 Ghz would be very limited in usage.

Hey,

I am confused by the number of choices I have of purchasing HTC devices (of course this is a good thing :)). I currently have HTC Magician and am looking to upgrade to a newer device. My question is mainly for people who have owned Magician.

How does Hermes compare with Magician as a phone? How is the reception? How is the in call audio quality? Can the person on the other end hear you? This is important for me as this will be my primary phone.

Is weight/size difference noticeable?

Thanks for your help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] monx®:
at this moment, i think hermes the best phone ever i had. i'm previous owner of magician. with all the improvement features from magician, it also has more features that magician.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bobbyelliott:
I upgraded from the Magician to the Hermes (Vario II) a month ago - and it cost me since my old contract still had time to run.

The Magician is a decent PDA/phone and it convinced me that a combined phone/PDA was the way to go for me. But it was limited (slow, no 3G, no wi-fi, no keyboard etc.) so I decided to upgrade.

As a phone, the two devices are virtually identical. There is no real difference. Both are fine as phones. I've had no problems whatsoever making or receiving calls on the Hermes (or the Magician). But as a PDA/communication device, there is no comparison. The Hermes blows the Magician out of the water.

The form-factors are similar. The Hermes is slightly thicker (thanks to the real keyboard) and slightly heavier (same reason - plus the extra features) but I store both in their cases on my belt and I don't notice any difference.

The Hermes is a next-generation mobile device. There is no comparison with previous models.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Music Man:
The Cingular 8525 I just got has better voice quality for both sending and receiving than my previous Motorola V551 and v557 phones. It is also better at picking up the signal when it is weak and holding onto it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
Agreed. As a phone, the Hermes has superb sound quality, and the speakerphone is top notch!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
One thing I have noted though is that the loudspeaker is very loud - a little 'too' loud for me, I wish that sometimes I could turn it down just another couple of notches, especially when using it for handsfree. It always distorts a bit, and that really bugs me.

I'm sure there's something that could be done about that in software, as the in-call volume slider seems to do little if anything at all...

The Hermes blows my last phone (the Alpine) out the water though. Hardware keyboard, slinkier form factor, WM5, all those lovely features - granted I have had problems with mine but I think that was due to it being one of those problematic early model revisions. I had a herm634, my replacement (which I got today) is a new herm643, so hopefully all should be solved now!

One bugbear: no 3.5mm headphone socket. Whyyyyy do I have to use the glorified mini-USB connector headphones (which incidentally are SHOCKING)?! Granted I know I could get some good quality in-ear headphones, do a bit of soldering and homebrew my own headset, but I really can't be bothered. ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
Hermes is a great phone, slightly too chunky though, but perfectly reasonable for what it does.

I miss my Magician, and frankly would be quite happy with it still, but the keyboard on the Hermes has grown on me. Of the HTC phones on the market right now, it's perhaps the best (Herald might be attractive, Trinity and Artemis have CPU issues I guess, and lack keyboard)...

I also had the problem with the speakerphone being too loud, had to return it. Watch for manfacturing issues - I had a dodgy scroll wheel (sometimes scrolls the wrong way for one click), speakerphone, and there used to be touch screen issues. These have probably all been corrected in manufacturing now, but check...

A great phone. But do check out the new Etens.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] aarman:
Not sum of its parts..

I came from Treo 650, as it died and I needed a new PDA/phone. I like the Hermes, but from a comparison point of view I am on the fence.

I like the WM5, better than PalmOS. I like Hermes' speed of operation and its networking capabilities/speed better. But Hermes' accessibility (one-hand dialing, contacts, etc) is nowhere near Treo650/PalmOS. If it wasn't for voice dialing, Hermes would have been returned long ago.

As a phone, I also think Treo 650 is stronger. I had better call hold times with Treo. With Hermes, I think the earpiece volume is low, and I experience fequent call drops, which I didn't have with the Treo. I tried fixing the mode on GSM or on UMTS, but I didn't feel a difference. I also tried at least 4 different ROMs and radio-only ROMs. I am now on the latest HTC ROM (with Cingular in NC USA), using the same SIM card as my Treo had, and I have call drops at least two times out of ~ 10 calls a day.

As a package, however, Hermes is better than Treo 650. Slide-out keyboard alone, is enough for me to live with the other shortcomings.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] spastico:
I also came from the 650.

I was never happy with the reception.

And I needed VC just to get the volume up to a decent level.

Even with the latest Rom Update, it still wasn't as good as my wifes cheap moto 180.

I am even more disappointed with the 650's reception now that I have the 8525.

The 8525 is the best phone I have ever owned. I may even pass on the 750.

Oh, and my speakerphone is too loud also.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I know how you feel about the magician vijay555. Its a terrific phone and wm2003se works so much better than wm2005 imo. BUT the hermes is better, everything I liked about the magician I also like about the hermes, it seems to run a lot faster than the atom and the 3g is very fast (when covered). For me the only thing that could make my dopod better is if it was double the size and vga. I like big screens and it would be more usable for internet browsing or reading.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] denali:
HTC done good!

I've been thoroughly impressed by the quality of my Cingular 8525 as a phone. Better signal acquisition especially inside buildings where I previously could find no reception, calls are (to my ear) clearer, and the mic is quite sensitive. My speakerphone is too loud in a non-noisy environment and the volume controls are somewhat coarse, but overall, it's a better phone than my old Nokia.

mdf
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
Also have to mention that the protection for the loudspeaker is much better than on the Alpine - on the Alpine, it's very flimsy: the cover, held in by what appear to be two prongs, can be easily dislodged if you bash or push it, and then it rattles against the speaker all the time. Without totally removing the case and pushing it back in from behind (because that's how it's fitted), or even better glueing it in place, it becomes REALLY ANNOYINg and it makes telephone conversations nigh impossible to understand unless you have it turned up full volume.

Now I have my Hermes, I might take apart the Alpine (I was afraid to while I was still using it as a phone in case I broke it) and try to fix it. Believe me, don't carry one of those around in your pocket for a year (like I did) without some kind of case for it! I feel much safer with having the Hermes in my pocket, though: the screen is recessed more, the speaker is fully protected (just a tiny slot through which you use it to listen, and the actual handsfree loudspeaker is on the back of the device), and it fits in your pocket better (not as wide, a little thicker but meh, works for me). It also doesn't slip out of my hand nearly ALL THE TIME like my Alpine did, particularly when i was using it drunk ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
And didn't you notice that the screen alignment problem miraculously disappeared when you were drunk and it was the chicks that slipped out of your hand. A sad and lonely guy, tapping away in a dark corner, pissed but happily grinning with a Hermes in hand and drool puddling on the beer soaked lino of a dingy Brummy dive. The joint went silent, the seedy creatures of the night; painted drugged up waifs eye the guy with the TyTn and you know they're yours cos you're an XDA developer and quicker than they can ask....got the time mister?, you'd done it again but hard this time yep soft was good but as resets go this was a hard moment. The scene ends as Hermes bursts in a climatic, tinny rendering of "Baile la bamba, baile la bamba" as boyo's girl phones to see if he's been arrested for flashing his ROM again.

The very definition of happiness!!:D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wetwaterdog:
I have a new S4 with baseband MK2. I am getting ready to do the root etc. but I was testing ADB first to make sure it works.

I have installed the latest USB drivers, and turned debug on in the S4

I get get adb to launch, but when I use the command "ADB devices" nothing shows up.

I have rebooted both PC and phone with the same results.

Question,

Does the phone need to be rooted before ADB will work? If so....then how to I side load "Towelroot"? or anything else for that matter.

am I missing some sdk files...or something else?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jawmail:
Usually when nothing shows up at all it's a driver issue. What drivers did you install where did you get them. Windows right?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wetwaterdog:
Got the drivers from samsung site...latest ver 1.5.45. phone connects to windows computer and displays directories so I know the USB driver is ok.

I did some more looking and am updating my sdk devices right now. I expect that to correct the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jawmail:
Drivers are good then, update your SDK like you said and try again. It should work after that, I don't have an S4 but they're all the same when it comes to ADB and fastboot. Good luck.

Yup....sdk's installed and all is well.....

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 running Jellybean 4.2.2 and apps can't seem to write the external plug-in SD card. Lots of info out there (spent days researching), but most of it is years old but I tried the most recent anyway with instructions from youtube "NevcNYfhKRs" (sorry, it won't let me post URLs) being the latest to get the device rooted.

I rooted the device and ran the Kitkat External SD app and it seems to run (even tho I'm on Jellybean), it says the device is rooted, but I can't create a new folder on the /mnt/extSdCard folder, says "Error" and "Fail to create", but I can read the SD memory chip just fine. The memory does appear in Settings|Storage|SD card.

In some places I've seen that the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file needs to be modified but mine already looks like what it's supposed to look like:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

Anybody know how to make it so apps can write to that memory?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Razznak:
So I managed to mess up my device. The phone shut down while uninstalling some app and will now not boot into the ROM (Cyanogenmod 10.2.1). In addition, the recovery (OUDhs CWM Touch Req0very v1.0.3.4) cannot mount /sdcard or /external_sd, despite there being a microSD card in place - I cannot flash any .zip files or run a backup.

When I try to launch the phone, it will go through the normal motions - have the animation run for a bit, require the encryption password, and then go into the animation again. However, the animation runs for a good few minutes, at the end of which the brightness abruptly jumps up and then goes down again - this occurs quite a few times (5 or more, haven't counted precisely) on about a 15 second delay each time. In addition, the notification light is indicating the battery capacity and the capacitive touch buttons are glowing. I predict that this means it is almost booted. At the end of the brightness jumping, it shuts off, vibrates once, stays dark, vibrates again, and then attempts to boot again.

So, the phone is encrypted. I cannot backup or flash a new ROM. It's in a bootloop. What should I do?

Right now I'm thinking that I should flash using ODIN back to stock, flash custom recovery, backup the files onto external SD, wipe, and then install CM10 again. My phone is just out of warranty by a month, so that option will likely yield no fruit.
