Do u mean is your phone locked to a sim and after a custom rom you can put any sim in?
[HTC Desire S] OvidijusD:

Follow that tutorial the link provided by jmcclue. You have to unlock boatloads first using HTC dev.

I got imei block. how possible unblock without paying ?
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Dont think u can, flashing custom rom wont do nothing either. Either pay a shop or buy a motherboard.

If i got imei block in lithuania, and i buy Imei unblock in www(dot)imei(dot)info then i get IMEI unblock ? Or no ?
[HTC Desire S] heavy_metal_man:
By imei block do you mean you are locked to a specific phone carrier like virgin, o2, orange, that sort of thing

or do you imei block as in the phone has been reported stolen/unpaid for and wont work on any network, local or otherwise?

Ur problem is windows 8. Its a known nightmare for getting fastboot to work on it. So ur options are, search for how to get fastboot to work on windows 8 or if u can get ur hands on a pc with vista/win 7, if u can then ul be done in 20 mins.
[HTC Desire S] OvidijusD:
i renistalled my windows. And now i stuck on custom rom installing ... i didint made s-off .. and now i dont have backup and now software is broken, i dont know what to do
[HTC Desire S] jmcclue:
Need more info. What do u mean stuck on rom installing? Do u have recovery? If yes then boot phone into recovery, full wipe, then reinstall the rom, once its finished installing, do NOT reboot. Boot ur phone straight into fastboot mode, plug into pc and flash the boot.img thats inside the rom zip. The command to flash the boot.img from fastboot is

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then reboot ur phone.

Hi everyone,

I am currently living in Ivory Coast and I bought my HTC One M8 from bestbuy and it was unlocked. I am currently having an issue because when I was upgrading it, the process has failed badly. My phone kept rebooting and rebooting till a black screen appeared with a red triangle and an exclamation mark.

I tried to Factory Reset it but it didn't worked.

Please what should I do?

Thank you.

Same thing here

I have bought mine from JoviTronix in Egypt which is the authurized dealer for HTC. After a week it started doing exactly as you said, so I went back to the store. They took the device for around 2 weeks. Afterwards they said it is not fixable and gave me a brand new one but after only few minutes of usage it did the same, after I restarted the device. It went up from 40% to 60%. The store employee told me that this is a software related issue and they have contacted HTC and are awaiting for a software update to fix this issue. This happened like a month ago and still nothing is happening. This is really frustrating.:(:(:(

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaysoblitzed:
Did you try to do a battery calibration once charged to 100%? To ensure its at 100% just charge for 2-3 hours; it'll hit max. I haven't had to do so yet but if the batterystats file is messed up a recalibration will erase and add it again which will essentially fix this issue. You can get a root battery calibrator from the PlayStore. I believe philz recovery also allows you to do so in the recovery advanced options.

As for the app I recommend

Battery Calibration by NeMa.

Hi,

I bought the AFTV in Germany and installing SPMC worked fine. I was using OpenELEC before, but running XBMC / SPMC on the FTV seems to be better as I don'T have to place the bis computer next to my TV.

The problem I have: Nearly every video stutters from time to time (somtimes, minutes in between, som stutter all the way), althoug the network is fast (connected via Ethernet to a Syno DS214+ - single user so no other access).

Most videos I tested were MPEG2-TS (named .ts) or H-264 (also named .ts). But I also had an AVI that had this problem.

Any hints what to change to get this solved?

THX,

Matthias

Memory buffer issue

This seems to me to be clearly buffer bloat, certain routers and switches have an issue with the router equivalent of a memory leak. I reboot my router every day, and never have an issue. There are usually updates available, or if your router is the right type, alternate firmware that can solve it permanently. I prefer the once a day reboot.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mablan:
Hi guys...

I'm looking for a good today plugin for use in the TyTN in order to see calendar and task events... like Pocket Breezer or SPB Diary.

The thing here is that I would like to know if have had some experience with this apps in the TyTN; I really wont want to have problems with the stability/operation of the device.

In My old WM2003SE the Pocket Breeze was just perfect, but when I first try it on the TyTN I had some issues...

I just would like to know, in your experience...wich app would you recomend for have a good view of the calendar in the today screen.

Thanks in advace for sharing!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Baxter:
Try Today Agenda - free & works well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SHC:
What issues did you have with Pocket Breeze? Have you tried the latest 5.2 version? You could post a question on the SBSH forum, they can usually resolve problems with you.

I have Breeze on my T-Mobile MDA Vario II and it works flawlessly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mablan:
I have use the V 5.001 trial version (cause I wanted to check if worked before buying it)... The main problem was that TyTN crashed too many times and i need to soft reset a lot; even after a soft reset sometimes still doesn work and had to aply a new soft reset.

I will give a try to the latest version as you said and also will use it without any other today plugin...I use to have Spb weather, skype, and the lock device in my today screen.

thanks for the comments...!!

any one else with another app that can try...??

thanks

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Konstantin K.:
As for me I would advice SPB Diary. It works stable on my HTC TyTN for 3 months. I also apreciated its "completeness" - it presents almost all PIM information in one place - calendar, tasks, e-mails, contacts.

Re stability - I understand it often depends on the app collection you install. The more install - the less stable system become :-), of cause it;s always possible to try different combintaions and find a good balance, but...

Good luck in search and try!

p.s. I also tried Pocket Breeze + Contacts and found these combination working a bit slower and giving me less features than SPB Pocket Plus + SPB Diary, IMHO.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
I am also a fan of today agenda
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] digitalfx:
I am using Pocket Breeze, iLauncher and Pocket Weather all together on a Tytn....works perfectly.

Be sure to install in system memory, not the storage card.

I have found the TyTn will occassionally freeze when these were installed on the storage card. Since moving to main memory I have been very stable.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
as a rule of thumb, anything that access's the today screen or is constantly in use should be installed to the main memory and not the card.. some will work just fine installed to the card, but if you find you are having issues with it then you might want to move it to the phone
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SkyyBoy:

I think this was the problem; the trial period I used pocket breezer and SPB Diary I installed them in Storage card... so, now I will install in main memory; as some members have said, both app works just fine without problems so, now the point is just decide the one that looks better and gives the more info..

Also will give a try to the Today Agenda... always nice try the free ones.. ;-)

I have mine flashed to Cricket, but only because I have an older CDMA number that I have been sitting on for years. AT&T just bought Cricket in May, so they are in the process of converting from the CDMA network to the GSM network. So that means all new Cricket activations have to be new GSM numbers and they are no longer activating new MDN's on the old CDMA network. With that said, I believe there might be a way to unlock this device for GSM use. I've seen threads about it. I'd recon all you'd need is the new Cricket APN settings to manually program for data, and I'm sure you can get a hold of that easily. I will have to eventually convert over to their new GSM network too, so I have been thinking about unlocking it using the methods in another thread. If I decide to do so within the next week I'll let you know how it turned out.

Haven't seen any around. TaoBao (China's equivalent of eBay) sells all kinds of rarities yet they don't even have a second-hand 5.8.

I guess for the price of a 5.8 you can get some decent phones that's >4.5", though.

EDIT: I got my second-hand Mega 6.3 yesterday for ~$130, so if you're just looking for sth with a large screen, you know what I mean. Or grab an Xperia Z Ultra instead.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] drakonizer:
Exactly. I wouldn't recommend getting a Galaxy Player 5.8, mostly because it was an only-Korea release, therefore, there's near zero development. Also, I think its a little too big for my liking, but that's just me. You get a lot of better phones (with better development and specs.) for the same price (I'm guessing its around $400 new). You can use those without a SIM Card.

But if you're keen on getting one, AFAIK there is root available, but no custom recoveries or ROMs. But since its running 4.0 ICS, I'm guessing you can stick with it for a while.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpurick:
Confused about what this is. I saw some debate about whether it's lost when unlocking the bootloader on some devices.

Is it like a driver for the video? What, exactly, would be different if the Bravia Engine was "lost" as a result of hacking the phone? Would playback be lost? Camera? Video recording? Would it simply cause a loss in quality? It's even more confusing that the display works without this but some feature/function/attribute depends on it. How is that?

I've had a few phones and pretty much completely violated all of them, but this is the first time I've bumped into something like this. I have a z3c coming, and I'm wondering if maybe I don't want to root this one...
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hjbotha:
It's not the rooting that (potentially) breaks things, but the unlocking of the bootloader. If we find an exploit that gets us root without unlocking the bootloader, all that will be safe.

(I don't know what most of these Sony-exclusive features are either so I'm also interested in the answer to your question.)

Let's put it this way, when I removed the SIM card to stick it in my N5, milk dribbled out.
