It's the same everywhere on the internet. One example is modding. People are now asking for workshop support in every game because they can't use third party sites that offer mods.

Same with downloading free games. Black Mesa is free right now but on the official forums there are hundreds of people asking for it to be integrated into Steam because they can't manage to download and install it from third party sites.

Everything on the internet has to be noob friendly now. I preferred the internet when it was still rude, that way all the "noobs" stayed out at least.
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
That last one, lmfao...

XDA is only confusing if you're:

A, a complete moron

B, incapable of speaking English

C, an iSheep.

People keep mistaking XDA for a tech support forum. It's not. As it clearly says in the description: "XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers." It doesn't say "XDA Developers was founded by developers for the absolute completely atechnical idiots to hold their hands every step of the way because they're too dumb to figure out how to use Google."

I work in tech support for a major service provider, believe me, there's worse than the people that come here. The average level they get is people who don't know WiFi and Mobile Data are two different things.

I miss the days where the Internet was simply too difficult for idiots to use. At least back then you didn't have to worry about offending their "sensitive personalities."

Even games! If you used an aimbot 6 years ago, your IP ended up permanently banned by Gamespy. These days, they're a bloody a feature in the game. 'Aim Assist'. Because apparently sucking at the game is too painful for noobs. AYFKM... It's why I've stopped playing FPS, there's no skills and training involved anymore.

Oh, and this thread will no doubt end up getting locked. Just like every other thread about this subject....

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanWinz:
Hello,

I was using Cyanogenmod 11 and suddenly (possibly after an update) my phone wouldn't charge anymore. I tried many different scenarios and it turns out that the phone only charged when my phone was either off or just booted and the screen not locked yet. From the second I locked my screen, my phone would stop charging.

Naturally, I assumed that this was a problem with the last CM update, so I flashed a new ROM (SkyDragon GPE). And now, it charges only when turned my phone is turned off. Very weird.

Is anyone familiar with this problem? Do I need to return it to the store? And if so, is it best to return to stock ROM etc before returning it?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LibertyMarine:
Do not return it! I am not entirely sure wheter the Recovery is responsible for charging or not.

If you don't fear losing all your data or if you've already backed them up, do a full RUU. This works that way:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2632736 and go to this section : "You want to have stock software again? No Problem" it is the last one before the first post ends.

This will get you to stock bootloader, recovery and OS. But pay attention you need a Win7 PC!

This way we can test wheter the issue also exists with stock software. if yes -> returning to the seller is an option. But for now you shouldn't do that.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanWinz:
Thanks for your reply LibertyMarine,

I'm afraid I already returned my phone. I couldn't even do anything with my phone anymore: the battery was dead and there was no way to charge it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LibertyMarine:
That's ok. If the battery was really dead and you can't turn it on again, then the chances that the repairteam from HTC won't be able to turn it on again either are high. So if you get lucky they make the decision that replacing the device is cheaper than repairing it and in that case they may not find out that it has been rooted.

Otherwise they may charge your for having to replace your motherboard as it's against HTCs policy to send back an altered motherboard. Just hope they don't find it out.

Good luck!

Please help!

I just upgraded my ROM to Ivan's latest AKU3.5 from bootloader

This completed successfully (100% successful, disconnect and restart etc)

I disconnected and reset, except it was stuck in bootloader mode

I tried the Mtty method (for the first time ever) and followed the step by step instructions...

...after a few seconds a few command lines appeared with "USB>" on the last line

I took this to mean the process had finished (?), disconnected the device from USB and tried a soft reset

the device just stayed stuck in bootloader :(

next, i downloaded uni_exitbootloader and ran it (as this has worked for me many times in the past). it didn't work the first few times, but i disconnected and reconnected and this time it worked. It said "data sent, you can now reset your device"

This maybe where i went wrong?

I foolishly reset the device before disconnecting it from the USB. The PC immediately said "USB device not recognised" and the screen of my Universal went blank :(

Now, if i soft reset, it does nothing, i cannot even put it back into bootloader using the camera, on, reset button combination.

HOWEVER, if i press the two soft keys (as if i was going to do a hard reset) i get the white screen with the black text saying "Press 0 to restore etc"

If i press 0, it says "clearing" but the screen just goes blank :(

If i press x, the screen just goes blank :(

Now i am completely unable to try and use either mtty or exitbootloader as my PC just says "USB device not recognised" and neither applications run as they should

QUESTION: Have i totally bricked my Universal?!

If not, what can i possibly do...???

As usual, i will be extremely greatful for any advice or assistance to resurrect my favourite Pocket PC!

Thanks in advance for your help.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] salmon:
Aaagh! I think i just realised what i did...

1. I didn't read the posting "For all those stuck in the bootscreen, try the Mamaich method" carefully enough. I didn't realise that the Mamaich method totally erased the ROM!!!

2. By not flashing a new ROM to the device immediately and instead using exitbootloader to exit the bootloader screen i now have a device that has no ROM and probably has no way of knowing how to get into bootloader mode.

Can someone confirm this?

For one, i feel like an idiot for not reading the posting carefully, but having admitted to being stupid,...

... is there anything at all i can do???

Please help...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
cancel that, you already said what i was going to ask above :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rudy173:
have you try to flash it again with original ROM? sometimes it helps!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AlanJC:
Once in bootloader mode, try plugging it into a different USB port, one directly on the PC.

I have had this where one port says not recognised, even after having been plugged in and used for ages, then I go to flash it and it won't work.

Another port has worked for me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] omega_:
Since you ereased the DOC, all you've got to do now is to reflash the default ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] salmon:
Thanks everyone...

Only problem is, i cannot get it into bootloader mode. And every port i plug it into (so far) says "device not recognised"...

Nevertheless, i did try to reflash the device, but it just gave me the "Error 150" message. It just doesn't know the device is connected i guess?

I think if i hadn't done the Exitbootloader step then i would have been able to reflash it. However, now that i have... i'm a bit stuck... any ideas of other ways to get the device into Bootloader mode?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dhob187:
try

you already know there is a file called EXITBOOTLOADER but did you know that here is a file called ENTERBL ?

try it .....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] salmon:
Thanks dhob187!

Where might i find this file though? Did you mean to attach it?

Just one other question...

How does ENTERBL work if the PC doesn't recognise my device i.e. "USB device not recognised"? Will the application override this and push commands to my pocket pc anyway?

Or is there a way i can get my PC to stop rejecting the device when i plug the USB in?

Thanks in advance,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rudy173:
I believe this is the file u needed

i don't know how this utility works, but just yesterday i stuck in the bootloader after upgrading my uni to AKU 3,5 and solved with ExitBootloader.exe. CMIIW it works the same way, just plug the USB cable then execute the utility (just simple as that).....

but have u tried my earlier suggestion? my friend got the exact problem like you (blank LCD not even bootloader), he was downloaded the original EXEC ROM and try to flash with it (with original upgrade utility also). and the thing start to blink, enter the bootloader and flashing!.....after he manage to wake the device up, then he tried to flash it again with the newest ROM and succeded........

sorry for my english..... :P
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] salmon:
Please don't apologise for your English, thank you for your suggestions!

I didn't quite understand your initial post... but i do now.

Does it have to be the first ROM that it was shipped with or just an original i-mate JasJar ROM?

I can't try it now, but i'm excited to go home and give it a go later tonight... what's more i'm excited at the prospect that there may be some hope for my currently rather expensive paperweight!!!

If the aforementioned doesn't work, i'll try using your attachment.

Cheers again!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rudy173:
it doesn't have to be the first rom that shipped with your imate, just an original one. try your luck then! never give up, keep the faith!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rudy173:
sorry, forgot one thing, just ignore the USB error (not recognized) and go for the upgrade (execute the original upgradeUt.exe)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] salmon:
Hi Rudy173.

Thanks for your help, but unfortunately nothing has worked :(

I have tried running two official JasJar Roms without success... i always get the connection error message (this is surely because the PC always says "device not recognised" when i plug it in).

Also, when i run ENTERBL.exe i just get a failure saying that ...ENTERBL.exe is not a valid WIN32 application... etc...

So unfortunately, i'm still stuck... any further suggestions anyone?

Can the i-mate service centre help me? Is it likely to be expensive?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] salmon:
Back in business :))

Wow, not entirely sure what i did... but my Universal is ALIVE!!!

As per the previous post, nothing seemed to be working so i removed Activesync 4.5 beta and reverted to 4.1. I then tried to reflash to an original ROM and the same "connection error" problem happened.

However, next time i tried to enter bootloader, by pressing light, on/off and reset, it went straight into bootloader and i was able to reflash from there :)

I didn't even need to reflash with an original i-mate ROM. I went straight for Ivan's latest.

This experience has taught me a few things:

1. I have become seriously attached to my Universal!

2. You should never give up hope of retrieval!!

3. This forum is full of very nice helpful people!!!

Thanks everyone.

I had bought an S805 quad core android TV box pictured below. It came with an launcher it looks like a carousel what icons on it. Although most of the quad core boxes have a different launcher which is also pictured below with tiles on it how do I get that launcher on this box? Does anyone have any idea if there if there's a specific ROM for this box. Does anyone have any idea who the manufacturer is for this box? What I really would like to do is change the launcher for which I have an Apk file and I'm able to install the launcher but I soon as I reboot the box it goes back to the launcher with the carousel icons on it. If anybody can help that will be great.
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
try this: install the launcher of your choice by apk like you said, go into settings and if you can get to app settings try to find the stock launcher in the "All" section, look around for a option called "Clear defaults" and the next time you press the home button you should be prompted with either choosing the new one you want or the default launcher. if that does not work reply back and ill try something else.

That didn't work. It goes back to the original. Another problem is that they're both name the same.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenny243:
Well, is octa-core and 64 bit.

Saw a benchmark test between those two, exynos score a little higher.

If you were me, and price don't better.

Would you get snapdragon or exynos?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
It's really never octal-core or 64bit. It mostly runs in quad core "mode" and is never in 64bit. Yes, it's capable of 64bit, but think of it like installing the 32bit version of windows on a 64bit machine. It's useless. Benchmarks don't matter. The exynos version is optimized for benchmarks, so it scores high in them, but is actually slower in real world use. Get the snapdragon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
From the benchmarks I saw, some of the exynos tests come up slower than Note3, some are faster than snapdragon note4, but IMO the biggest advantage could be 64 bit mode on Exynos. On the other hand who knows how is this 64bit Android going to work and when? Also make sure that radio is compatible with frequncies used in your area, what good is the phone if you get stuck on edge or have trouble making calls because half of the frequencies are missing? When I bought galaxy s3 couple years ago, it supposed to have LTE, but later it came out it didn't, there might be some similar surprises with Note 4 in the future as well.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lodix:
First of all, You shouldn't tell opinions as True Statements...

Have you ever had any phone to compare by yourself ???

Samsung sttoped "cheating" in benchmarks since the Note 3, and it was mostly done in the QUALCOMM VERSION.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
I never said they cheated anything. Its just optimized for benchmarks so people think its faster than it is (runs all 8 cores at one, but never does that in real use). I have used it BTW. I have a galaxy tab with an exynos processor that lags a lot pushing a 1440p display...same as the note 4. I tried a snapdragon one out in best buy and it didn't lag at all.

It is a true statement. That's like saying a Ferrari being faster than a civic is an opinion.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lodix:
It is not, Samsung doesn't change at all their CPU from the "stock" ARM desings. So it is a pure Cortex AX. They don't this kind of things, Anandtech searched for that.

The Exynos 5420 has a weaker GPU compared to Snapdragon 800mso it normal. But don't say that the Note 4 lags as well becausw your tablet lags...
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
I said it would be slower, not lag. This is based on 3 generations of Samsung processors before. If they finally changed it to actually be competitive, good for them.

All of my other points are fully valid though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lodix:
Well I had good speriences with Exynos SOCs.

The G3 does not support VoLTE, so it will drop to HSPA ("4G") when you make a call. It's very possible the HSPA network in the areas you are having issues is saturated or having data problems so your data feels broken. When you end the call and the phone goes back to LTE, your data comes back. Easy way to test would be to disable LTE and test your data. Then report to T-Mobile.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimSmith94:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebrain2u:
I had the same question about NFC tags when I had my S4. The biggest factor I found out was whether the tag is compatible with NFC Forum protocols. The older Mifare Classics tags are super cheap but aren't always compatible (they weren't with my S4.) You'll want to buy tags that are compatible with NFC Forum protocols, such as the NTAG203 or the Topaz 512.

We'll know for sure what tags are compatible once the phone is out. I've got a pile of NTAG203's laying around so I'll be ready to test those.

I am also just starting to research and play around with the NFC technology. I am hoping it is a little more reliable that Llama was with geofencing or Wifi detection to change phone states/settings.

I purchased these and they should arrive this week http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E0NRESE/

I am also thinking about getting the Topaz 512 variants for the additional storage space like these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FS4AF0S/

These are both "type 2" NFC chips. Depending on what you want to do, any Type 2 chip should easily store settings changes. If you want to store a lot of data or use fields, like with a business card, then you'll probably need to go to a type 4 chip.

I recommend staying away from the 1K chips as they are not as compatible. An example would be these that you would not want to get - http://www.amazon.com/Tags-Chip-Pack-Keychain-Bonus/dp/B00CE6QGLU/
