[G2 Original Android Development] 1ceb0x:
it is same for any aosp rom. the min free values are not quite what it needs to be for a 2gb ram device. blame google for this. they modified the internal task killer to make it like this so that even a device with a 512 mb ram will run kit kat. on stock seems that the issue is a bit better but not far off from aosp.
[G2 Original Android Development] ephumuris:
On stock I can definitely play Spotify music and play a game like family guy at the same time though. I wouldn't mind if it didn't work on stock. I've tried to create an init.d script with the medium values but it doesn't seem to run I'm no expert on this sort of stuff.

Google build.Prop priority lock I remember there used to be a line you could add to lock custom launchers I to memory as if they were the original factory launcher and the same for music players so should work for Spotify

I hope the gps issue could be solved for the SEA model, I have returned to stock and the difference is abysmal, in stock is fast without errors, maybe using stock libraries could work, if anyone need something from my side I could help without any problems.
[G2 Original Android Development] 1ceb0x:
have you even tried the instructions on the thread i already linked a while back??
[G2 Original Android Development] citytrader:
Yes, I tried all suggestions, I did the impossible without look, I'm convinced the issue is at software level and specifically for the SEA variant that has something different on the gps side, maybe a library, don't know, but it's a pity because I like this rom but without GPS is not possible, I use the phone for work
[G2 Original Android Development] ephumuris:
Not ideal but it's am avenue I could go down if I really need to do it without root. I could simply move 2 music players of my choice to system then add them to the build.prop in that way?

Would work :)

Unfortunately no real solution is given, except for one person he did manage to get it working for a while by taking the SD card in and out.

I assume you've tried soft resets.

Next step may be hard reset.

Failing this maybe a repair/replacement under warranty.

Hi,

Yesterday I had an strange problem with whatsapp. I received three messages but I had not read nothing until I arrived at home at night. When I entered in whatsapp, I realized that only two messages were marked as not read. It's very strange because I didn't enter in whatsapp in all day (only at night). I don't understand nothing. Maybe I have a ghost in my mobile that read my whatsapp messages?

Thanks a lot.

Hi All,

I am on Dr Ketan ROM 4.3 with MJ5 bootloader. Thought of updating to the new Dr. Ketan V10 ROM. Using TWRP, i wiped cache, dalvik cache, system and factory reset. Installed the ROM and selected the features in AROMA. Once the installation was successful, the phone restarted and got stuck in Samsung Logo screen. Tried with couple of other ROMs too and facing the same issue. TWRP version is 2.3.2.3

Do I need to do anything else before installing Dr. Ketan V10 ROM ?

Hello everyone,

I am using Samsung galaxy ace gt-s5830i, and suddenly the phone has lost its IMEI number that I can not recover for days. I am not very knowledgeable about Android OS and would really appreciate your help.

I updated it OS to Jelly Bean, to see whether it will solve the problem. However, it did not.

1. I would like to know how I can re-install its official version Android v2.3.6 without Kies or ODIN (may be by using sdcard, but how?), since the SIM card is not found on the phone due to no IMEI, I can not connect it to my computer.

2. How can I recover IMEI.

I would be very grateful for your help.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Really depends on what caused it to happen, whether it is recoverable or not. If it did it on it's own, that's pretty much gonna be a paperweight unless you can find a reputable shop that has some special tools like SPT, Octopus box, BST dongle or something along those lines. It's not common (around here anyway) and less common that someone would know what to do in that situation since it is not that common in the grand scheme of things. If you lost it after trying to install a custom rom, kernel, update the radio/modem or something along those lines (typically your baseband version would also say: Unknown if this happened), you can try this http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-ace/718242-lost-my-imei-number.html#post5849945

I really like my Prophet.

Yes the rear speaker is a problem but it's the only problem. Just wait till it stops working completely. There is a workaround for this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=281331

Also, yes it was a bit slow but a helpful chap called Ikarus produced an excellent overclock utility which has really helped. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=270751

I will upgrade when the time comes though - maybe a Hermes or an Artemis.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RaptorRVL:
I wrote quite a long post to explain in detail why I seem to disagree with you on almost every point you try to make. But I'd rather keep it short. (and I don't mean this in a nasty way, my experience is just totally different than your 'review')

Speaker: no problem at all for me. I mainly use it in loud areas. Also use it as alarm clock too and it's loud enough (believe me when I say I'm not a light sleeper). I do however use PocketZenPhone for my phone profiles (volume, call volume, ringtone stuff etc etc) and SPB Time (alarm clock).

Upgrading: Have a look on what forum you are here. Most people come here because they seem interested in upgrading the thing with a rom. For possible free extra's. Who doesn't want to have free extra's? (hell, why do people upgrade their computer, their software, their bios? Because it's all crap? I don't think so at all).

There are loads of phones on this forum, from your perspective they are all crap because people are trying to upgrade them? And yes, upgrading is difficult at times and if you do it wrong, you brick your device. Can't blame HTC for those people pusing the upgrade button...

But all with all, I'm sorry to see you are so dissapointed in your Prophet phone. Perhaps the thing just isn't your thing. And it doesn't meet up to your expectations.

For me the thing lived up all too good to my expectations and even more than that.

For me it's loud enough (maybe with the help of some programs I don't care) it's fast enough and even though I have been 100% happy with it all along I even upgraded it with a newer ROM.

I use it for phoning/smsing, calendar/appointments, adresses, car-navigation, games, watching movies, wireless internet etc. etc. and that all works flawlesly for me...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Spatzm:
Thanks for providing these links. I'm a technican myself and am used to many pocketpc's and pda's back in the years. I also did development for those devices so I am skilled enough to know what to do.

But the primary point of mine is differently. My workday looks like this. Starting morning at 7:00 and come back at home around 20:30. A lot of traveling from A to B. Basicly a fulltime job. Now you might imagine that business people don't want to play around with their PDA.

They simply don't have time to do so. They expect that the device they bought "simply works". The terminoloy "simply works" means. You turn it on and you start working with it. There is no time and also no intentions to mess around with the hardware. Like opening it and fix what HTC had failed to solve on their own.

I am also aware of the overclocking utilities that exists but this can't be the point either. But as I said it's probably the last problem that I care for now.

I think that HTC miserabely failed with their products due to bad engineering and bad QS. I only hope that some of their engineers are reading this forum so they can think about the stuff they build.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vsc:
I didn't read every word of every post, but I don't think you state which version of the Prophet you have. That said I have the Jamin with their latest ROM. I have no reason to play with other ROMs. Reliability is important for my usage.

To be honest I DON'T have the majority of the issues you seem to have. Specifically the front speaker is so loud that I have to set the volume to 50% to prevent hurting my hearing on normal phone calls. With respect to the rear speaker the volume is more that sufficient to use as an alarm clock.

The major issue that I have is the CPU performance in stock form is only just adequate. But remember static high clock rates translate into low battery endurance. I'm using Battery Status to perform automatic clock rate scaling and battery life is good or better than stock, while CPU performance is very good.

From reading I'm of the opinion that not all Prophets are created equal, but might be made so by flashing an alternative ROM.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Spatzm:
Normally I would write something like "The user don't know anything about Prophet versions - he/she only uses it". But I have an XDA NEO - G4 and this one doesn't have a front speaker (only a really silent ear speaker).

I have only one issue with it and not "majority" (which implies dozens of issues). The only issue I have is the weak components used for speaker, ear speaker and microphone.

Yes I have the impression myself now. But that shouldn't be the problem of the end users or customers. That's the big problem of HTC for implementing some sort of quality assurance.

I also doubt that flashing an alternative ROM (there is no official alternative ROM that guarantee fully functionality (but more on this later on) that will solve a hardware issue. Flashing a new ROM don't change the position of the speaker from the back side to the front side.

I also think you should start reading my replies more carefully to understand that not everyone has the time or the geek factor to flash "or want to flash" his Prophet to use it.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] vsc:
By front speaker I mean the speaker that used when the phone is on your ear.

I would comment that the Prophet is a platform and Jamin, XDA Neo, etc are products. In fact the user shouldn't even know or be concerned with the underlying platform. He should buy based upon the end user product's features and performance. Note that HTC doesn't necessary have to manufacture each product to identical specifications. And I say this from a OEM's perspective.

With regard to flashing various firmware and debugging a product one purchased, I only can agree with your position. My only point is that what issues you have doesn't necessary apply to all versions of the Prophet.

Dopod released a patch to increase volume. If your product doesn't have this fix (e.g. running the most current firmware) then I would be thinking about getting my money back or Ebay it if that is not possible.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] g3k:
Silent but loud, slow but fast ?!

I share all comments claiming weakness of Prophet speakers and slowness of its processor and i'd read too much about these before buying one.

Anyways, many claims about the OMAP come from users who did not overclock. At 286mhz the baby is fast enough for me and no serious standby time shortening.

Coming to the speakers, using the oldphone ring, i find it loud enough. Of course there's always individual tastes and feelings. Mines are not so negative.

Finally, don't forget to set sound level to maximum for alarms and disable program sounds. This prevents boring sounds when you use menus.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] xmanmaster:
slow or fast its in your hands only

well in my eyes , i had took the S200 (qtek) or whtever name he have, as base for smartphone app. for security usage. like you i had to choose between the stability , quality and speed. the hardware base had all i need, battery and SD, wifi and BT, and all very steady. yes speed stunt me slow at begining, but with the help of jesterz and one of his coocked Roms, i got it fatser, and for the final battery status gave me real overclock of 247-260 which is more than i need. when i load it with streamin video (mpg-2) no it dose not gag nor crash nor hang. thats more than i had with HP/ASUS/ etc pda on the same level. have more trust in your littel device. remember rule 1.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] abubasim:
Not loud enough to wake up?

Although the sound quality is not the best I found my old JAMin loud and strong as an alarm, especially with the LB sound file. In fact I am using the same file on my new SE P990i. I sold the JAMin as a trade-in and bought a P990i a month ago and although I am very happy with the new phone as it improves in all areas where I found the Prophet not so good (built-in support for A2DP, camera, sound quality and so on), sometimes I miss my old phone. What I

don't

miss though is the SCREEN ALIGNMENT PROBLEM. I am amazed how well the touch screen on the P990i works and how it even lacks an Align Screen function.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Spatzm:
I don't know what a LB sound file is. May you post it please ?

I never had a Screen Alignment problem with my HTC Prophet but I keep reading about these issues on plenty of other news sites and forums.

So to sum it up these are the most known hardware related problems that come along with the HTC Prophet.

* Backside speaker useless and totally misplaced if the phone is placed on the table.

* Ear speaker quite silent, if you are in a noisy area or street then you need to plug a finger in the other ear to hear the other participant clearly.

* Microphone quite silent, the other part is permanently asking to repeat what's said.

* Headphone plug is causing problems when unpluging there's no sound sometimes (not confirmed by me but found on various places).

* Backside speaker is dying at times (not confirmed by me but found on various places).

* Backside speaker is applied at the backside.

* Misalignment of the touchscreen (not confirmed by me but found on various places).

* Battery life ends with 28% and needs recharging (I have the same problem. The device needs to be recharged).

These are the common problems, that I came along so far. Windows Mobile itself is operating normally so far, but the hardware is causing problems. Every company with name by now would have started a call back to replace the faulty systems. My next device will be from an manufacturer with name, who has skills in doing proper devices - no no-name branding.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] TheBrit:
Not much of a problem for me.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RaptorRVL:
I'm sure some people have problems with the phone, which is in fact not really surprising because it's a stuffed up little machine with lots of sensitive electronics in it (made as cheap as possible to position it in the market for a certain price obviously).

But I must say that when looking at forums and people with problems there, you might not get a good idea of what's really going on with a device.

Forums are usually filled with questions and complaints instead of people searching for the forums to say "Hey! My device is working just properly! cheerios!".

It would be much more interesting to know how many devices have been sold and what % of those had faults/problems. Mind you, the prophet is sold world-wide and is a very popular device, which would increase the number of people with complaints on a forum considerably.

I wouldn't exactly call HTC a no-name manufacturer too. It's just that they are not well known because they have always made their hardware for other companies who put on their own brand and name on the device. Yet still it is a HTC product.

I haven't had a single problem with my device and know a lot of people who don't have problems with the thing too. I know someone who works in a store selling them and he says they don't see loads of the devices coming back with the complaints/problems you write.

For example, I have none of the problems you list up there. If the phones would have been so bad, don't you think I should at least have one of the problems here? Or do you think I'm the exception of having a error free phone and faulty devices are the standard?

So perhaps a somewhat more subtle approach on the subject might not hurt. I could be reading you the wrong way, but it almost seems like because of your dissapointment of your device you are on a small crusade stating the prophet is a very bad device. A device that only works for geeks with too much time on their hands changing roms, editting the registry and repairing the device themselves.

Which is, ofcourse, not the case at all.
