[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SrPintas:
Hey there.

So today, after waiting what seemed like forever for the OTA update to reach my phone, it finally did!

I got some lollipop on my Nexus phone finally.

It installed no sweat, although it took a while since I have so many apps installed.

So, I had planned to reset the phone after I updated it. I made backups of all relevant data and proceeded to hard-reset it through settings menu.

It started the process, took a while longer than I expected, and then out of nowhere... it crashes, or at least I think it did. The "working" android animation with the "Erasing..." message changed into one with a Red exclamation mark on top of it.

I waited for a while... nothing.

So I powered it down.

Power back on and it goes into the Erasing operation again... except now I don't think it's actually doing anything since it's taking forever.

I've went into the "hard reset" menu that you get into by pressing volume + & - and the power button while turning it on, tried the recovery... nothing. It restarts the phone and shows the "erasing" animation again.

Did I manage to brick my phone while using just stock "tools" ?!

Any advice?

Phone was all stock, no root, no unlocked bootloader, nothing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Why did you reset it during
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SrPintas:
Because it apparently crashed mid-way.

The "working" animation changed into one where's a droid with a open stomach with a red exclamation mark over it.

I waited for a long time and it didn't move along so I restarted it.

Anyway, it took forever but it completed it now.

Guess I "just" had to be patient. Didn't expect this to take 40minutes or so with a simple reset =|

Shall we compare Athena with HTC Universal? The hardware features, quality, built in software, speed, everything?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Bader:
Let's try:

- Athena is absolutely uncomfortable as a phone

- Athena is a little bit :-) larger and heavier

- Athena is more expensive

+ Athena's screen is much bigger

+ Athena nave embedded GPS

+ Athena have HDD

+ Athena have VGA-out

+ Athena have VueFLO (but is't really useless feature)

+ Athena have 3 mpix AF camera

more?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
When people have the Advantage/Ameo etc, it will be more appropriate to make comparisons that one can agree or disagree with.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Bader:
Just FYI - some live photos of Athena

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Great photos Bader, Cheers!

Thanks a million for those brilliant high res photos Bader! :)

It's nice to get a real world perspective of size on the X7500 against other devices and equipment. If you don't mind, I'm going to post a link to the site you listed here, everyone who doesn't have one yet and is interested will appreciate these pics. Thanks again.

PS You've put mistake in my nick on 4winmobile :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Nice photos..Thanks

Thanks Bader. :)

Any chance of a first impressions review? Or feedback on performance with 3rd party apps compared to other devices...like Universal? I know, I know...you were probably going to do that before I opened my big mouth last week. :(

Anyway thanks again for your contributions, they are appreciated. :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Actually Bader...there is one very important question I would love to be answered...if your willing of course.

Can/have you tested the USB host capabilities of the X7500? I mean can you hook up a full sized keyboard and or mouse, or even a external hard-drive?

This would be huge plus for me personally, but I think others would like to know too. Cheers.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Bader:
Unfortunately, I don't have Universal now, but in any case I'll put here are some feedbacks:

Performance is good enougt, f.e. "windows" folder is to be opened in one second

700 Mb movie is loaded in 3 minutes via USB (2.0?)

Original DivX movies can be watching wo recoding with at least 80% efficiency (parhabs depends on embedded ATI Imageon chip, now I'm tryin' to tune it :-))

GPS works worse than in Artemis - probably cause of metall body

Battery is really good - about two days while books reading, movies watching, push-mail recieving etc.

Camera - ghm... SonyEricsson's one is better :-)

No vibracall! :-)

What else? Please ask :-)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Bader:
About USB-host - unfortunately, I don't have the the cable to try this function (I've got the device in test package). VGA-out works well.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] victoradjei:
The normal htc USB cable should do. Connect the mini to your Athena, and the regular usb end to your drive eg. pocket drive, card reader etc. :cool:

gps athena

gps worse than the one of p3300? 1º slower to take satellite? 2º fixes less satellite?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Great stuff Bader!

Great stuff Bader, thanks for the feedback. So GPS is worse than Artemis? Is it acceptable though? Or do you experience weak signal and drop outs, in comparison?

You say Divx plays at about 80% without the need for recoding? That's not bad depending on bitrate. (I'll PM you about this). Are we talking like torrent movie encoding quality here? DVD rips? I hope so, because then there is a lot of room for improvement.

Didn't expect much from the camera anyway.

No Vibra call? Glad I ordered me a vibrating Bluetooth Plantronics 640 now. :)

"700 Mb movie is loaded in 3 minutes via USB (2.0?)". Is this via active sync straight to the device? If so, that's not bad.

I like the windows folder opening time. But is that on a fresh machine or with loads of 3rd party apps?

How about surfing in high res mode? Is this supported in the ROM version you have? And if so, how is the speed of page rendering compared to your experience of other PPC devices?

Thanks again for taking the time and effort to answer these questions Bader. Pls check your PM.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Arya:
What is your model? Advantage, ameo or U1000?

How is the building quality?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Bader:
2 victoradjei

I're wrong - USBhost is based on another slot than sync/charge USB. It is good seen on this picture - http://foto.ixbt.com/?id=photo:57887

Left one is VGAout/USBhost with proprietary connector.

2 hx4700spain

I'ts only my opinion, based on expirience - it seem to me, that Artemis finds sattelites faster, and sesitivity is a little bit better. Unfortunately, i cannot compare and measure, cause Artemis was sold 4 month ago :-)

I any case - Athena's GPS wokrs much better than any 12channel device.

mackaby007

About movies - yes, sure, i mean DVD-rips on maximum quality settings. If set low details - so performance comes to 200% :-)

About loading speed - yes, 3 minutes via AS or WM5torage - no any difference

"Windows" opening time - it on real used device with about 20 thirdparty apps installed.

RealVGA is not supported in current ROM :-(

But there are Opera installed (in ExtROM), and it's posible to scale up and down - looks like real VGA. Rendering speed is about 2 times faster than on my Herald.

PS I'll answer PM in few minutes.

Hi P996.

Firstly congrats on your purchase. Thanks for your first impressions review. Just what the rest of us need during our agonizing wait. :)

Hope the following is not to personal, but in what part of the world do you live or more importantly, where did you get your Ameo from? I'm itching to know. :)

I've got it as test sample. Ofiicial sales in Russia starts on April.

About GPS and video - please see my previous messages

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Arya:
OK

I read your previous messages;-)

tanX for your info

I have some questions too:D

The magnetic keypad is not strong too unit?

can use it with a hand in walking? do it fall down?

in walking in street can use it? for example sending sms?:D:D

and other thing you say playing DivX is not good? is it slide slide?

how is quality if video recording? what is recording video size? 640*480? is it quality like Nokia N93 good? tha't camera is 3.2 MP!!!!

and last question:D :

with hard reset, memory will be format? micro drive formatted?

tanX and sorry for my long post
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jmdrizen:
Sorry to go over old ground, but I just wanted to check something,

Above it mentions "no vibracall".... is this the vibrating alert feature? As I was told by T-Mobile that it does have this... or did I get through to the cleaner answering the phone again :-/

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
i can confirm no vibrating on Athena
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jmdrizen:
Damn :-( A really minor feature for some but a requirement for me :-(

Does anyone know of any new devices in the pipeline that T-Mobile UK will be taking on?

I'd love to get the T600 by Gigabyte, but don't think I'll get a sniff of that in the UK :-(
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Arya:
Are you sure it hasn't vibration?

in GSMArena write it has!!!

http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_advantage_x7500-1887.php
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
I am 100% sure, they probably just assume it has because it's so unusual for a phone to not have vibrate function.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Arya:
Ok,tanX

also Nokia N90 hasn't Vibration call!!!

and we must buy a vibration bluetooth headset or watch for silent place!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Bader:
2 Arya:

Hi!

Keypad attaches "semiautomatically" - just place close to body - it'll been attracted and stands still with click sound :-)

Writing messages on the move - why not? It's usable for purposes like that.

DivX movies are good, but but while are complicated fragments (with lot of fast moving details) on DVDrip movies - some frames losses may be. But in any case - watching is really comfortable.

Video cam - maximum resolution is 352x288; can tell only than Nokia's camcorder is better :-)

In case of hard reset all the MicroDrive stays.

Hello

I have a rooted LTE N7. I noticed when I was attempting to flash the lollipop ROM I got an error messing saying this ROM is for deb but this device is a flo in twrp. So I'm a little confused . My n7 LTE is for sure a deb but in the recovery its showing as a flo. What the best way to correct this issue

[SuperSU] smartalx:
How is temporary unroot supposed to work? I tried to temporarily unroot my Note 3 (rooted with towelroot) and I figured after I rebooted I could open the SuperSU app and reenable it. But it says there is no Su binary installed. When I click OK the app closes. I can't ever deactivate the temporary unroot.

I've looked EVERYWHERE to see if I'm missing something but there are ABSOLUTELY ZERO instructions on how to temporarily unroot then reactivate the reroot.
[SuperSU] smartalx:
Hello? Is anybody there? No help for this problem?
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
This problem should be fixed in the latest SuperSU version. You will have to re-root and update to the latest.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrdoit1st:
Just got my Edge and switched over from S5. Now my signal just randomly drops. Tried everything, update profile, change sim, reactivate, change roaming to home only, even went to the store. Maybe someone has a fix or the same problem before I try to get it exchange..
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joedirt2346:
I am suffering through the same problem.

Ill have lte for a while and then i lose the signal completely. I had the galaxy 3 and it worked on lte just fine. Methinks the lte antenna doesnt work so good. Sometimes if i go to airplane mode and come back that works other times i reboot. Im tired of rebooting. Ive just lost the signal now trying to type this. If i switch to cdma it is much more reliable but who meeds a 1mb download speed. Iay be returning this phone soon. Such a shame. Its such a pretty phone.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
What area are you in? S5 and note edge both use spark so it shouldn't be a signal issue. If you're in an area you got coverage in before, it's probably a hardware issue. Put the same SIM in the s5 and see if it works. That'll confirm it. I'm in Atlanta with plenty of lte and I've had no connectivity issues so I know for sure the edge (at least mine) works well.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrdoit1st:
Yea I am in Atlanta too. I changed the sim card too and have the same problem.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
Like I said, try the SIM in your old s5 if you still have it. If it works fine on there, it's probably a hardware problem with your note. Get it replaced.

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

Do you actually lose signal or does it just appear to be very weak? You cannot compare to an s3 as the edge runs on the Sprint Spark network. Spark works well with even one bar of signal in most places (I've gotten up to 5Mbps) and with full signal you can get 20Mbps +.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newdude85:
smh!!!

Ok i bought both the nexus 6 and note edge with sprint....got both in hand right now and neither phone will connect to the sprint network....after talking to tech support for a hr i was told to go to the store which im NOT doing bcuz the store reps have no clue and dont even have the phones in the store yet DUh sprint!.....so im assuming phones to new may have to wait weeks for minor software updates...... C'mon:mad:
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayTrue04:
I was having the same issue since I bought the device at the sprint store. I just kept removing and putting back the sim card till it finally stop. Anybody knows what this software update on my notifications brings?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joedirt2346:
Well, i live in goldsboro, nc. We dont have the spark network here yet that i know of. We do have 4g lte which always worked fine on my g3. On this phone it seems like i lose the signal a lot ie. Searching for service, webpage not available, sms will send when you regain service. I very rarely get more than one bar signal strength, then the lte turns light grey, then i lose signal. I can usually get it back by restarting the phone or going onto airplane mode briefly and then coming back. Ill have the signal for a few minutes and then lose it again. It was really bad last night but it doesnt seem so bad tonight. I got the phone tuesday so tomorrow is my last day for carefree return. Im not sure what to do. Has anyone else noticed this?

Thanks in advance,

Billy
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
In many, more developed areas, spark will work fine even with 1 bar. In some areas though, you may get connectivity issues due to this. I believe you can call customer support and they can switch you over to LTE if you wish (this will also give you back the ability to use internet while on a call). At least the guy I talked to offered it.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sortilege:
me too

so I have had my Sprint Edge for one day. The signal fluxuates constantly and the data works maybe 20% of the time. Called sprint and working on a replacement as we speak. Went into the store and there was a repair tech there saying he has seen 5 other Edges with same issue and thinks its not the phone but the network profiles and that sprint will release and OTA to fix it. But am returning mine for exchange just to rule out hardware issues
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayTrue04:
I ended up getting hit with it again but after installing the software update no more signal issues. Funny thing though is I cant find any info on it and it seems I'm the only person who received it. :confused:

It seems like i only have this problem at night. Theough the day everything ssems to work but with a low signal. I suspect sprint is doing something to the network late at night and thats why im having this problem.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icexige:
had the note edge for a day and im having the exact same problem regardless of day or night.. the signal intermittently drops from full to zero bar with red X by it. when there is signal, it is very fast but it just doesn't stay on. i also have a note 3 right now and never have issues with losing signal at work or home. also called tech support and performed update profile/prl/change roaming to home only routine but still losing signal. tech support telling me to take it to a sprint store for an exchange but i don't think it's the phone. any information on that software update RayTrue04? im also from atlanta.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayTrue04:
I have no idea what it brought to the table but my issue has been resolved. I only lost signal once right after the update was completed but then it's like something just settled in and no a hiccup so far. *fingers crossed*
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icexige:
How did you get the update?
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RayTrue04:
Popped up on its own. My friend got the update too but he's still experiencing the signal loss so now I'm not sure what did it for me. The only thing else I recall doing is switching lte/cdma mode to automatic and turning on all the roaming options plus the roaming guards.

Am on NK1 already
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sortilege:
tried that on mine with customer service on the phone. Still having issue and am curentyl waiting on a replacement phone.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adanedhels:
Its a Firmware issue

Guys I am almost positive this issue is due to a glitch in Samsungs firmware. I tested the data and was able to download over 1 megabyte per second with only one bar on 4g Spark LTE.

According to the tech support person I talked to that would not be possible on only 1 bar. (btw I stopped the test after hitting 1 Megabyte per second for those that need help converting that equals 8mbps). I was in a saturated 4g Spark network with 5 towers within spitting distance from my location and it still only showed 1 bar. I'm thinking either how the tower reads the signal strength or a bad code line shows no more then 1 bar no matter what.

Now for those having dropped data. Check the Sprint site to see the saturation for 4g Spark service, the phones are now setup to LOCK on and HOLD onto the FASTEST tower, which according to the tech who also filled me in on the way the new antennas work, can lead to what seems to be dropped service. She would recommend for individuals having this issue if Spark service is not fully activated in your area to switch over to CDMA only under settings to fix the LTE data dropping issue. BTW the Spark LTE service is apparently different then the old LTE service so those versions do not appear to work interchangeably (according to the Sprint service map).

I also noticed someone else got the new version of the firmware, which I also have and that did NOT fix anything for me. If anyone is struggling with this issue I would wait until the firmware is updated again. WHICH I hope by that point we can get flashable firmware for those of us that are rooted...???

Now for a VERY Important Fact: there will now be no way to use data while on a phone call. These phones are a single antenna model. You can either be on the phone or data... UNLESS you are making a WiFi call. That is why this is now a option. It will keep the antenna set to the data side of things and make it possible to use data for the internet at the same time.

I hope this helps.

[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gingpark:
Same here got the first note edge and was getting the signal drop so got a replacement and also got a second one for another member on the account.

Both new and replacement at first suddenly got no signal with X again!

Now since I figured its impossible that so many would have hardware problems changed a few settings after the software update - NK1.

Mobile network - network mode to automatic and roaming off then factory reset and delete.

So far I was able to go 24 hours with one of the edge without a problem with signal.

Now just hoping the same thing will work on the second phone especially since expecting to upgrade a third line on my account to a note edge.

Yeah fan of the newest tech. :D

Don't know if this will help ---

(My 4th line has the Note 4 in the same house and no signal problem at all with the new Sprint Spark LTE max bar 99% of the time but yeah places like school/work it does drop down to 1-2 bars very slow but never a drop with X).
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blitzed26:
So how is the signal now for you? I am planning to do this and try, however was hoping to hear how it is going prior to factory reset!
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gingpark:
The first phone is now 48 hours without any problems and the second phone is almost 24 hours of the time of my first post.

So far looking good, fingers crossed haha.

Overall though I do hope there is an OTA for the fix since I am starting to believe the new Sprint Spark + note edge antenna is just not playing nice right now.

I say this since when it switches from LTE to 3G it seems to be somewhat confused which makes it drop to like 1 bar.

This is just based off going out today to another city wasn't getting the best signal there but at the same time wasn't getting the X mark of death.

Hope this helps. :)
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joedirt2346:
Fwiw, i never took mine back in the first three days. Maybe im dumb and this is not possible but its like the phone "learned" how to keep the signal. It was very touch and go at first especially at night, that was last tue-fri. Since then its been pretty smooth sailing. Ive maybe got the x once for a couple minutes. Im even getting 2-3 bars most of the time here in po dunk goldsboro:).
