Hi,

I have the T-mobile MDA Compact III, the Dutch version, with wifi and stuff. I also have a Qtek S200 and the first thing i noticed is that the Compact III has no calculator! This may seem like a small thing, but it bugs me as i got used to using it alot with the S200...

Any plugin or whatever to get a calculator??

Oh and while i'm asking, is there a way to change those freaky pink white colors of the phone pad? I can change theme in the notmal menus but the phone pad always stays with the T-mobile color scheme... any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks,

Rudy:D
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] hanmin:
Hmm... interesting. Anyway, there are tons of better calculator out there. I think the.. Omega(?) has a free calculator software.. and if you do a search on www.freewareppc.com, they ought to have a few .. much advance ones too.

Tons of phonepad available in this forum with iPhone wannabe to.. Vista look-alike. Easiest way to get rid of T-mobile stuff is to go Wiki (under WM5 tweak) to get rid of it and use the default.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Tiek:
Had the same problem.

There IS an calculator, only theres no shortcut made by TM

In the folder WINDOWS\calc.exe

there u got to be. ive made an shortcut to it with SPB Pocket plus.

and for the ugly t-mobile color, just install an skin for it. and do a soft reset.

excuse my bad english :)

Try tapping Start/ Organiser a new window will open desplaying icons for Claculator, Calendar, Notes and Tasks - Strange place to bury the calculator but it is there - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] sithspit:
when installing a skin for the phone pad, does it need to be unlocked first or something... and kindof a noob question, but will i lose my warranty?? Where can I download like legal themes for the PDA??

BTW, i found the calc just where you said it would be mike, And i linked it to my right software button!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenwchan:
Hi all,

I was really happy to learn that low latency audio devices are now available for Android (Samsung Note4 and Edge at the moment).

But unfortunately it does not work with my Note 4. It crashes the Amplitube app or cannot initialize the USB audio driver. Or else I will see the USB audio has been connected but no input or output movement on the meters.

In SoundCamp, I get the additional toast message that "SAPA is not working". I have even factory reset my Note 4 but still can't get it going.

Does anyone one know about SAPA and how to diagnose it or repair it?

IK multimedia asked me to go to Samsung for a solution which I don't think is realistic so I'm quite a bit unhappy with this situation.

Does anyone here have a working iRig going or sh3d some light on the SAPA error message?

Best

Ken
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikmultimedia:
I know we had answered this on our forum but I thought it would be good to reiterate here:

Please note that our team did have the following input on this issue:

We have been discussing the following with Samsung for some time now:

We have recently discovered that on some Note 4 devices the Samsung Professional Audio (SAPA) library crashes if a SAPA enabled application like AmpliTube is started with any USB device connected.

If the USB device is connected AFTER the SAPA application is started, everything will work correctly.

Samsung is working to release a fix to SAPA to address this problem, so in the meantime you can bypass the problem by disconnecting the iRig HD-A, running any SAPA enabled application and connecting iRig HD-A again.

Please note that if you do not disconnect iRig HD-A before running the SAPA enabled application and receive the SAPA error the only way to return to normal operation is to restart the device.

It is probably better to perform a restart before trying the suggestion above anyway so that you start from a clean environment.

This is a problem with the underlying SAPA library (it is not an issue with IK Multimedia hardware or software).

Hi everyone,

I saw some people saying that if we flash the decrypted ROM we will lose our warranty. I was worried about that and I decided to contact Google. They told me that if I flash a custom ROM this will not void my warranty.

Here is what they answered me (It is a long answer because I asked about the availability, advantages of purchase through Play Store and, of course, warranty):

I also contacted them through chat, they answered me the follow:

Due to I be very insistent, I asked him to confirm this information:

I hope this helps to clarify for those who were feared of lose the warranty.

P.S.: I'm still learning English, so sorry if I made any mistake.
[Nexus 6  General] DatDude123:
It concerns me that the representative thinks the manufacturer is HTC.....but I do appreciate the information.

[Nexus 6  General] jjhiza:
Agreed... It bothers me every time I see CSR's from massive companies, sending emails or responses that are full of grammatical errors and obviously incorrect information. One would think that Google had slightly higher standards than this.
[Nexus 6  General] Xelphos:
Lol, Rogers was confused when I said Motorola Nexus 6 as they all thought it was LG Nexus 6. They kept telling me there was an LG Nexus 5, and an LG Nexus 6. So you guys can all enjoy your Motorola Nexus 6 I'm going to enjoy my LG Nexus 6. Lol.

But yeah my order is a Motorola Nexus 6, Rogers just had it named Wrong in their system.
[Nexus 6  General] dtblair24:
I have sent quite a few devices back for warranty and have never had an issue with software modifications. I imagine it's not that rigorous. Simply want to make sure the device is lacking water damage and major physical damage i assume. I recently exchanged an AT&T htc one m8 for a replacement. Sent it back unlocked, rooted, s-off, and with a custom ROM. Do this for most of my phones and never had a problem. Even have a co-worker that sent a bricked device back lol
[Nexus 6  General] SilkyJohnson:
The chat rep doesn't know the difference between "lose" and "loose" - shoot me.

If you need to use your warranty, flash the stock image first. I've had 20+ android phones (all rooted and molested) and I've never had a warranty claim rejected.

[SuperSU] sluagh6:
When I purchased my Droid Maxx it was running 4.2.2 and I used the PIE exploit to root it. At the time, I didn't realize that allowing the 4.4.4 OTA update would completely frag the root so I took it. Now, on 4.4.4 I of course have very buggy and inconsistent root access. So, I decided to just unroot and forget about it for this phone. To that end, I ran a full unroot from SuperSU and the app disappeared. Great...until I rebooted and it came back. I went back into the app, disabled it via the app settings, full unroot again, and again the app reappears on reboot. I can't delete the apk from the System folder because even with SuperSU enabled it won't grant me write access (see above: root fragged). So what the hell am I supposed to do? The phone is essentially unrooted, but on every reboot, regardless of unroot attempts, SuperSU reinstalls itself.

Any ideas on how to get rid of it?
[SuperSU] Chainfire:
Either root it properly and use that to remove it, or reflash your full stock firmware.

[G3 General] Lgg3d852g:
Hi!

The Cloudyrom proved that the d852G variant of the G3 is able perfectly run d852roms (there are no differences between the two variant expect their names..). Could you please, to permit all Canadians to taste your awesome work, let your roms run on d852G too?

As a novice I understood that the only thing that blocks my device to install your roms are the updaterscript of your rom that only install the rom if it performed on the d852variant. So, could you please include the d852G to the conditions too? I only ask you to type 3words in a single script of your rom that will open it to another variant of the phone, isn't it awesome? :)
[G3 General] 4ndroid99:
When it comes to AOSP roms, I believe you'd need more than just a updater-script edit. Each boot.img is specific to each variant and therefore another boot.img would have to be bumped.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] xkape:
So, I dropped my phone. Noticed that around the volume button and then on the other side that the back was separated from the front. Thinking, oh crap, the back doesn't come off, I was already having nightmares about going to verizon. I pushed the back, back onto the frame and it snapped into place on both sides. I was too much of a wuss to try to remove it again but, I think the back actually comes off this phone and is just held on like all removable back phones, it just snaps into place. I have the ballistic nylon back.

ANyone know for sure?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Xelios029:
I watched the teardown video. The back is held down by clips I think, so you can actually pry it off if you have a shim to get into there.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cstone1991:
Well yeah, if it can be put together it can be taken apart. What it comes down to is how easily it can be done without damaging the phone. iDevices have always been made without a removable back, but as far as I know all of them can be taken apart for servicing. I replaced the HDD in my 2nd or 3rd gen iPod like 5 times and the battery once before wising up and ditching that Apple crap (that was my first and last Apple product).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ctopher4:
A guitar pick has always worked great for me, Razrmaxx, & RazrmaxxHD. I haven't needed to yet on my ballistic 64, but the video shows it working like the past Moto's
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] xpentor:
Second that. guitar pick worked great!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jal3223:
I see that there are ballistic nylon backs being sold on eBay now. I wonder how long before the metallized Kevlar backs show up. It will be awesome to be able to switch them out.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
I put the red volume key in the black plastic so it now it has a red accent. Also the M comes out on the ballistic nylon. I actually plan on removing the M, I'm putting in some sort of metal dish. Then using that does to attach to a magnetic car dock for wireless charging. yeah, I might end up taking this too far lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JTH182:
Could you keep us up to date on your progress? I'd really like to make my own magnetic car mount as well. I had one with my Galaxy SIII using a Palm Touchstone. It was amazing.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
The camera picked up every flaw the eye cant see lol I took one of the LG car charging pads, a cheap $10 RadioShack car dock. Took the charging pad apart and put four magnets. One in each corner. then I took the cheap Doc I bought and cut the legs off of it and plastic welded them to the LG pad . Then I took the sticky part of the cheap dark and super glued it to the pad. It holds just fine without the little legs. But I like the extra support. Doesn't look too great without a phone on it. But once I put my phone on it all you see is the phone. looks like it's floating.

Edit. the back of the Droid turbo has metal in it. So its magnetic. If you put a magnet on the center and triggers the flip case. But keeping them off the side seems to be just fine
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ccheww:
But the real question is... Can you access, remove, and replace the battery?

Sent from my XT1254
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jal3223:
Yep, it doesn't look too difficult. There is a teardown video here: Motorola Droid Turbo XT1254 Disassembly / Tear Do…: http://youtu.be/l_AOQ6U2Zb0
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JTH182:
Interesting. That blob in the middle is the sticky part of the cheap dock? Do the magnets hold the phone without that sticky stuff? Is it hard to line up the phone with the charging coil? Does it get a steady current to charge?

Also, would you be able to point me to the exact charging pad you used so I know it would work?

I may have myself a project, lol... I'm wondering if something like this would work with the Turbo:

[YOUTUBE]rdA9ucWf9uk[/YOUTUBE]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
Without the bloob it will hold. But not really strong. I'm going to revisit this project, I just needed the dock backup so I could go to work lol because I tried 2 hours and I like having somewhere to put my phone. Any qi charging pad will work with the Droid turbo. The one I have is the LG puck. Just make sure whatever you get it's designed for a car. 12 volts, not 110.

Probably next weekend or whenever I have the time I'm going to take off the back of the Droid turbo and put some metal in there, like grind down some razor blades to fit. One just below the M & 1 just above the droid logo. That will give it a much stronger hold that I can get rid of the blob and the legs. I just have a very strong fear of the phone falling off while driving and face planting into my shift knob lol.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dbornack:
Wow. That was painful to watch. That guy sucks at life.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
So, I re did it. Turned out pretty good
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] timofcourse:
Ha. Your version of "not too difficult" definitely differs from mine. I suppose if your battery was absolutely dead and you had no other choice, but when you start talking about adhesive and heat guns thats a little outside of realm of a simple replacement.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Gundabolu SC:
Oh then you definitely gotta google how to replace just the glass on The Droid Ultra/Maxx or any other phone for that matter... U'll get a definition of what difficult actually is! :P I personally did... And after seeing that everything else seems damn easy.... Replacing glass is so difficult that even Manufacturers don't prefer to do it! :eek: :eek:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JTH182:
How did you make that one? Does it really stay on there while you're driving? What magnets did you use? Did you put the metal inside the phone?

I bought some neodymium magnets, but I still don't think it will hold while driving. I haven't finished yet though. I also have a bad feeling it won't actually charge because the magnets are interfering with the charging coil.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
Tonight or tomorrow I'll make a little video explaining when I did. Easier than trying to type it lol and easier to understand.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JTH182:
Thanks! That would be awesome:good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
Costume wireless magnetic car dock: http://youtu.be/juqgfmVrAa4
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] JTH182:
That looks awesome... it's pretty much exactly what I've done, but I can't seem to get mine to charge. I think the magnets are touching the coil and causing it not to work. I have to figure out a way to fix that
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattew1:
edit
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
If that's the case maybe if you put some electrical tape on the backside of the magnets so that it won't make contact with the coil might work?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] daweim0:
The coil should at least have an enamel coating as the wires making up the coil would short otherwise. If the magnet is truly causing the problem I would guess that it's interfering with communication between the device and the charger. QI Induction charging happens around 150 khz (give or take 40), and if your magnet has any soft ferrite in it then it could kill all communication. There's a reason Ethernet cables never have ferrite beads on them...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] zathus:
How would you find out if they have that in them? So mine charges the phone, but randomly it stops and starts back up again. It's never done that before so obviously it's the magnets. Is there a particular style of wireless charger that would be immune to interference from magnets? If that is the case
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Brah Kdd:
Can i wash d back of d phone without affecting it.... The back looks dirty... Motorola droid turbo
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ChazzMatt:
What do you have? "Kevlar only" or the Kevlar + Ballistic Nylon?

(All the Quarks have Kevlar backs -- the "Ballistic Nylon" version has Kevlar then overlaid with Ballistic Nylon.)

If Kevlar only, just use a Lysol wipe. See? Even lists "smartphones". ;)

However, the Ballistic Nylon version would be harder to wipe with a cloth like that, as lint would catch in the crannies of the Ballistic Nylon fabric.

I keep a Diztronic case on mine, so the phone is not exposed.

This will be for new devices only, so you may need to buy a new handset - (urrently) They may issue a update, but they might also make us pay for it.

So, come on guys - get hitting the O2 XDA support site, and request the WM6 update!

Sounds like good news?

I received this response from O2 UK Yesterday.

Thank you for your email.

We are currently working on releasing a new ROM update for the Xda Orbit, this will include Windows Mobile 6 rather than Windows Mobile 5 which the device is setup to use at the moment, this is in testing stages and as yet we are unaware of when this will be made available.

Unfortunately we do not currently have any timescales for the release of Windows Mobile 6 as stated this is currently going through testing and until the testing has been done to a satisfactory outcome we shall not know when the release will be available.

If you have any further problems, please do not hesitate to contact us.
