My Future of HTC/Dopod Products are bleak:-(

It looks like I'm not the only one in this world who is suffering from this tragedy...the "time bomb" HTC/Dopod Start Menu Flicker and Touch Screen Failure problem.

As I hate sending phones away for service (they just don't come back to same as they use to be), I have almost tried every other alternative in attempt to fix this problem myself (without voiding the warranty), but have failed miserably.:mad:

For those who are interested in what I have tried, I've re-flashed every single version of both original & cooked ROMs and the problem still persists. I have tried loosening the screws on the HTC device as one has suggested, but this just gave me false hope. The problem came back again shortly thereafter.

So yes, it seems that I'm at a wits end and am forced to send it off to service, hopefully have the mainboard replaced, and play the waiting game. Having such a device do everything for you and then loosing it becomes quite a pain especially when you've spent quite a bit on buying it, expecting it to work for a least a year or two....not for a month or two.

So what do I think of HTC/Dopod. Not very good, unfortunately. But the sad thing is that (correct me if I'm wrong) there seems to be few pda devices out there that competes with it in terms of functionality i.e. GPS, pda, quadband GSM, HSPDA.

Will I every buy an HTC/Dopod again? Probably not.:mad: They just seem to severely retarded in their research & development and their customer support. I have never, in my gadget filled life, experienced a problem such as this...one that ticks like a "time bomb". Dopod should change their logo from "Enjoy Mobility" to "Lack Mobility"

BTW, could those who have had their main boards replaced please comment if they have had any future problems thus far? This would give me a better idea if I should even bother sending it off or just chuck it against a wall and claim sunken costs. From posts above, some of you should have your mainboards replaced for more than a month or two now. Thx alot.

Try This Solution

fried_potatoes,

before i sent my trinity for repairs, one thing that worked for me was putting the phone in the refrigerator for a few minutes. i find that cold temperature helps. but then after a few minutes of using the touchscreen, it goes back to not working again.
[P3600 General] Craic Dub:
May I ask, how you established the communication to the German service center and how the RMA process works out?

How did you know to send it over to Germany as oppose to Taiwan?
[P3600 General] fried_potatoes:
Thanks for the idea KungFu_Sam,

I realized that your solution works, but it's just a temporary one. I've managed to send my phone away for repairs under warranty. It'll take 2-3 weeks. I'll keep you people posted on the results of the repairs.

Well the new ETEN 500+ looks quite good. Maybe that may be next phone if this one doesn't work out.
[P3600 General] jlagden:
Hey Mr Potato man,

Don't feel too disheartened with HTC/Dopod. This problem is down to manufacturing of the mainboard for a particular batch run. Those of us that were unfortunate enough to have experienced the problem have had to suffer the hassle of returning their phones. Apart from a few that were probably early discoverers of the problem, HTC/Dopod have been pretty good at resolving the issue with a new mainboard. I feel happy knowing i have a new mainboard that has been produced with the previous fault in mind - they don't want to make the same mistake twice. IMHO the only way to resolve this problem is RTM.

I don't have any worries about owning a HTC phone in the future, I don't intend to go back to a Nokia phone again!

We all already know this.. and why point to another thread?

To fix the problem it has to be sent in to be serviced so the motherboard can be replaced.

Status of things:

Broken:

Charging off mode isn't working

Hey marco,

For graphics glitch when rotating you need:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/540345f70db4f0cea6ad3f1150d2cb2fac18da25

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/4e7f61fd6a36345e7994c236d1c128c4c8a6a0ea

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/db4cec0e189b84e5999ae5b3bef0e7a6c2bb3087

you can probably find those in 4.4 omnirom branch as well.

Then it should be fixed ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] marco9333:
Thanks :D I've already merged one of them yesterday (the first), and I need to check the second one. I don't know about the last one because I haven't found any settings in the various configs that enable BOARD_USE_MHEAP_SCREENSHOT. I need to check better though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] lirokoa:
Yes maybe the one for heap screenshot is not needed.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] :
i'll see if it'll work for me :P i've never got it working with any build :P
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] jika23:
I'm in the same boat as you, stuck with the leaked N8000 bootloader on my N8010, and youtube works great for me on last CM 11 build.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] TheMorpheus:
Nice work Marco!!

I've flashed your build (while building mine... :D) and I've noticed that the keyboard doesn't show up, I had to go to Settings>Language & input>Current Keyboard and switch on the Hardware flag to make the keyboard appear.

Youtube works fine (audio and video)

I've played a couple of mp4 videos with a default gallery without a problem

Music plays fine with Apollo

It seem very good for such an early build...If only the log in with Google Account worked...:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] mysarasaid:
Sooo nice rom only network works on N8000 and it will be my rom :D

- There is a problem with the default browser as it closes after opening on few seconds

- Graphics errors at multi tasks cards.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] marco9333:
I've tried CM gapps but it chrashes on login.... maybe some others google apps will work. I'll try to extract them from my nexus 5 official L rom.

I usually use chrome. Default browser should be "deprecated" and replaced by chrome. Graphical errors are still there (during switching off screen, rotation, taking screenshots and so on), lirokoa pointed some commits I'll try with them, but they should do the job. RIL is a priority for me too, but it's quite complex and the code changed a lot so I'll need some time to merge that part.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] lirokoa:
For RIL, many things are needed and I can't test since I have N8013, but I can point you to some to a repo that might help you:

https://github.com/ArchiDroid/android_frameworks_opt_telephony/commits/cm-12.0

Looks to all SamsungExynos4RIL / Samsung STK commits. That should help.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] marco9333:
I'll give it a try because when I tried to merge RIL from omnirom 4.4 I've got an enormous amount of conflicts. Thanks maybe them will speed up the fix:D

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] marco9333:
I've written quite big in the third post that you need to flash supersu beta just after the rom or you won't be able to boot into recovery: you've been warned. I'm working on merging the fixes for graphics issues.

By the way I've fixed the stylus input which is working ok now. New version soon....

I've just uploaded a new build. See OP for download links and second post for changelog. Before signaling a bug or something that isn't working, please read the third post, too.

Another bug I've found is in charging off script, please recharge your tablet while on until next release :D

Support for N8020

Lollipop is great so far as I am currently using it on my Galaxy S4 mini (GT-I9195).

I have tried looking around for Lollipop on the Note 10.1 LTE variant (N8020) but haven't found any support so far.

Has anyone tried it on their N8020 or know where I could find it?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] marco9333:
Ok I'll add VPN to bugs' list :D

Quite strange, I'll check audio routing and I'll report

I've found nothing about n8020 around here. Sorry but I can't support that too. If you wish to try to build a working rom just search on github n8020 and you'll find some repos for the device
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] cjoliver:
Hi.

Thanks for the great job in getting our tablets up to lollipop.

Just wanted to confirm that WiFi seems to be working fine in the latest build. Well done.

Some bugs I can confirm.

Flash light does cause the tab to reboot.

New bugs.

it would seem that WiFi tether isn't working(not for me anyway). Shows it is running, but I can't find it with my Android phone, Windows/Linux pc or Samsung tv. Even entering the details manually doesn't help. Can send a logcat if needed.

Again thanks for the hard work and sorry for putting more on your plate.

Cheers

Looked through the thread and didn't see a mention. Will the latest version stream Netflix?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] maverick464:
If you mean to stream Netflix directly without any DNS changing service dunno. I'm Italian and Netflix is not yet come here...the only way to watch it is have a DNS changing server...I usually use Hola Better Internet and actually this VPN service doesn't work on this ROM...the developer is working on it anyway...

Hi Marco

Hi really would like to help/debug submit patch and cook my own rom based on your commmits; do you think you will stick to a commit then release scheme so that one could make nightly build at home for testing et use ?

It would be far easier to follow and help :)

Btw thanks for the good work once more

VPN not working?

Hello,

First time poster and newbie of custom rom here so please bear with me!

I just installed the 1218 built and found that VPN doesn't seem to be working. Tried both Openvpn client and the system VPN app with the same result. The symptom is vpn shows connected but internet is actually not going through VPN tunnel and my real IP shows through. Is this a known issue? I searched but couldn't find much reference to it..

Great rom and thanks for all the effort!

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] marco9333:
I've used a different commit than mine for wifi since another dev reported wifi was ok with less changes. Wifi tethering was working the release before? If yes I'll just recompile using my commit

I don't know about Netflix, to use it in Italy I need vpn which isn't working right now. Try it and report if you can.

The list of commit is quite big now. I need to review a few of my changes, put some order and merge them. After that should be easier to pick just the core packages not yet approved. Wait a bit more :D

VPN isn't working. I'm looking into it. There is a problem with netlink ( kernel side) so I need to find if google released updates about that for the kernel.

It was the same in android 4.4.4 . The last core usually wake up only on very heavy load. It a normal behaviour (during boot and soon after should be up and running for loading all the apps and services)

It's android default behavior. It isn't so important to me so I'm trying to solve VPN first (but when I get time I'll remove it should be easy).

No eta for now. I'm busy with my exams for the next month, maybe more so I'll compile a new release when I'll get some free time :D

Hi,

[MENTION=4396527]marco[/MENTION]: Initiialy, I thought so too.; but the arrow head is really annoyning if your write in an handwriting app (like lecture notes). The arrow key so quickly, that it disturbs the fluid writing. I think it would be teh same in a drawing app. It would be great if we could have an optional circle, like in the stock ROM, but I guess that's not that simple...

Anyway great work for this ROM so far!

Regards,

Jan
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] marco9333:
Changing the pointer to a little circle it's just finding where the image of the pointer is and change with the wanted one. Adding an option is quite a "long" job since it's needed to add some code to the settings app (but not so difficult so maybe in the future). Removing completely the pointer should be simple, if I remember correctly I just need to add a flag in the framework before compiling. Before the next release I'll try to fix this. Now I'm busy with my exams (I need to fix it before the start of the new lectures) :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] gebauer:
Great! A simple circle would be fine with me personally. As I have it always one anyway.

I googled a little bit and found a couple of solutions. One would be to replace the pointer_arrow.png in framework-res.apk/res/drawable-mdpi-v4 with a png of a circle.

This is described here.

However, while hovering through the apk I found the pointer_spot_touch.png and similiar icons. I am not familiar with android source code at all, but shouldn't it be possible to change the setting

in here?

https://android.googlesource.com/pl...aster/core/java/android/view/PointerIcon.java

I would suggest change line 67 from

private static final int STYLE_DEFAULT = STYLE_ARROW;

to

private static final int STYLE_DEFAULT = STYLE_SPOT_HOVER;

But potentially I am completely off, and this is for something else...

Anyway, thanks for your answer..

Best,

Jan

Edith says: All the best for your exams!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] aussiep1e:
That would be a personal preference. As in my experience all 4.4 aosp Roms do not have a cursor or a little hover circle. While that would be great for writing... For drawing not so much. Finding a solution where someone could find the code for it and change the picture would be a lot more relevant for your personal case.

If you google and search for the cursor most people are just trying to get rid of it. Not change it to something else. And yes you should be able to go through the apk and pull the .PNG image from the apk and edit it to what you would like. Then place it back into the apk and flash and it should change the cursor for you. As posted above.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Original Development] gebauer:
Hi aussie,

unsure if most people like it or not, there are a lot of different threads around. Still, I agree an customisable option would be great - and I am fine with compelety removing it. Woudl be better than a cursor!

I just tried to replace the image in the apk. While it works image wise the hotspot / image center, is not correct, so I need to figure out how to replace that.

However in CM9, there seemed to be an option in the "Display" settings to turn the pointer off, note sure if earlier omniroms had this setting.

Best,

Jan
