[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankp124:
Not trying to start a fight dude, just pointing out that in the past all the development software I've used was absolutely free. And I'm sure that over the last 7 years there have been millions of dollars of devices that have been bricked by devs trying to work on new ROMs, exploits, hacks, and the like. Times have changed I guess.... more challenging software to exploit and such.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rantrave07:
It has already been discussed several times in several threads!!! the Sunshine developer team has the right to charge as much money as they want. they have selected an amount that they needed. its not about you and me or some other person who cant or wont pay that for S-off. i myself have not yet gotten S-off. so please refrain from posting such absurd logic about previous things being free and others points just to justify this.

If you cant afford $25 then just be practical and flash stuffs with caution like me. Sunshine is not something illegal that posting against it will eventually make it free!!!!! Happy Flashing!!!! :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdizzle1686:
Not to mention, sunshine is actually pretty revolutionary.. Think about how hard it is to gain s-off now days, and then think about the fact that with Sunshine,they not only cracked it, BUT ALSO made it a 1-click method. Best $25 I ever spent, no question
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yeah, that horse has been beaten to death 10 times over, in pages and pages of threads!

If the OP got the phone for $1, than they get a s-off phone with "full freedom" for $26. Still a pretty awesome deal.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Be aware that s-off is only needed for a few isolated things. Unfortunately, updating firmware manually to run the more recent ROMs is one of those things. And the most common reason for wanting s-off.

I gather from your device history that you are on AT&T. If the goal is to update firmware, your alternative is to stay with ROMs that match your firmware and wait for AT&T to roll out the 4.4.4 update (which will update the firmware). Since unfortunately, AT&T is one of the few versions that haven't had 4.4.4 rolled out. Hopefully that will happen soon. One source has reported the rollout was delayed twice in December due to issues incorporating VoLTE (voice over LTE).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bennytehcat:
I have two phones, one is running MOAR happily on 4.3, the other is bone stock and has been through all OTA updates to reach 4.4. I'd like to root and get MOAR on the OTA device. I do not have time to mess with our phones that much anymore and do not want to deal with troubleshooting two different roms and versions which is why I'm asking if this is possible.

If so, are there any special procedures for downgrading, or can I just pop it into ODEN and go?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
DO NOT ODIN 4.3 ON A PHONE THAT ALREADY HAS 4.4. DOWNGRADING FIRMWARE WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE. Simply flash custom recovery with ODIN (I recommend Philz) and flash MOAR.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bennytehcat:
Even easier than I was about to attempt. Thank you!

If I go this route, will I have MK3 or ND8? From what I read on the dev post MK3 seems preferred, and works well on the other device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
The ROM is MK3, your modem and firmware will still be ND8. The dev actually bricked his phone messing around and bought an S5... which is why the ROM was never updated. I personally prefer ND8.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bennytehcat:
So maybe the issue is really the 4.3 device which is already rooted. I've downloaded the stock tar for 4.4, if I was to update that through ODIN would I then be able to just follow the footsteps of the currently stock device. Effectively making them both 4.4, ND8 and all that other good stuff.
[HTC Excalibur] jeg815:
I was able to get it to work, the only problem is the fonts are kinda small. I'm trying to figure out a way to see if I can make them any bigger.

Here's a link and some screen shots.

http://gadgetsonthego.net/2007/03/palms-threaded-sms-app-works-on-t.html
[HTC Excalibur] florentp:
quick one, where do you get this famous threaded sms app?

i'm sure the font issue is a registry tweak
[HTC Excalibur] jeg815:
I have the app from my Treo 700wx. You can get this app on the web, TreoCentral is a good place to start.
[HTC Excalibur] jeg815:
the other problem with the app is that you can't get back to your inbox without closing the app out first. I have set task manager to a speed dial so I press "2" to close the app then I get back in my inbox and can navigate between inbox,outbox, drafts etc. Otherwise the app works very well.
[HTC Excalibur] bittermormon:
I couldnt get it to uninstall. I tried doing it through "remove programs" but no luck. Oh well it had already been like a week since I formatted :)
[HTC Excalibur] hungarianhc:
Hey there,

I got the CAB file - how do I install it?
[HTC Excalibur] jeg815:
Install it the same way you do any .cab file. I usually put it in my programs folder on my Dash using Activesync, then navigate to that folder on my Dash and open the .cab.
[HTC Excalibur] hungarianhc:
Thanks! I installed it. Any idea on the hacks / changes I need to make to get it working? When I run the program, i'm good to go. however, there's no way to go "back". When I press the "<-" button on my Dash, it exits the program.

So if I'm in a threaded chat with someone, I can't get back to the view where i choose which converesation to enter. Anyone know of a good guide to get it working?

Thanks so much!
[HTC Excalibur] jeg815:
That's the problem, it wasn;t designed for a smartphone, it was for ppc phones. The way I get around this is I set task manager to my speed dial #2 and I have to end the app. Then I can get back into the inbox. It's a bit annoying, but I still find it better than our other options right now. It was never intended to run on a non-touch screen device, it actually surprised me when I got it running.

I got it running back in December, and was happy it still worked with WM6.

This is when I got it running on WM5:

Did anybody ever get the font to a readable size, or get it to make a notification sound? I searched to no avail...
[HTC Excalibur] gbedi:
no... still squinting read the damn texts... i have the files if anyone needs them! just pm me!

btw... did anyone find out a registry hack to map the back button to going back to the main menu of palm sms threader? so annoying to go to task manager... close it and then open it again! any idea how to uninstall it and go back to regular wm6 sms? hard reset?! eek
[HTC Excalibur] john123456:
Hi,

Where can I download this application.

I used to use TXTman with WM5 and it was ok. But its not working well with WM6.
[HTC Excalibur] gbedi:
pm me please.
[HTC Excalibur] johnnylavah:
any luck with this?
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Has anyone had any luck running TxTMan on WM6 or any threaded SMS program for that matter? I just installed it, but it won't read my SMS messages through TxTMan when the program is open.
[HTC Excalibur] anthoneous:
no luck with this app it sounds interesting..
[HTC Excalibur] oldsap:

[HTC Excalibur] myppcsg:
anyone managed to get the font size up?
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:

Hi, I apologize for my bad English but I'm Italian and I'm using google translator.

I would first like to congratulate the moderators for all the help you give, many times I was able to repair different devices thanks you post very well made. Now I'm in a very complex problem, I accidentally deleted the folder "udisk" a Coolpad k1 7620L, this is the folder containing the IMEI code and data of the GPS device, as the efs folder in samsung. On the internet I can not find a backup anywhere, anyone know how to restore it? If any user with the same device could send me a backup? the folder is located in the root of the device.

I'm desperate!

[Xperia Z3 General] npaladin2000:
Dear god what a frigging fiasco. Not only does every speck of dust adhere to the back of the screen protector, despite the application solution, but said dust particles seem to ave seriously deformed the plastic, so now the screen protector has zits.

Moving on to the entirely insufficient carbon fiber skin, there's not enough pieces to cover the sides, and the back piece is cut too small, always leaves a couple of millimeters of glass visible around the edge.

Moral:do NOT buy for the Xperia Z3!

I'm overnighting a new Skinomi setup....
[Xperia Z3 General] danw_oz:
Thats your opinion.

I have it as just a screen protector and it is fine. Much better than other protectors because with a case on it, it doesn't lift the screen protector edges.

The only issue I have with it is the screen oils up bad from fingerprints, easily fixed with one or two wipes over fabric
[Xperia Z3 General] npaladin2000:
I guess this is an opinion too?
[Xperia Z3 General] xxquicksh0txx:
All that shows is you suck at applying screen protectors... lol.

You're supposed to install screen protectors in a dust free environment. Try turning the hot water on in the shower and waiting ~10 minutes, then try to install it.
[Xperia Z3 General] npaladin2000:
Clearly you don't know very much.

Ghost Armor is the absolute worst of the wet-applied screen protectors. The whole idea behind wet-applied ones is so that the fluid captures the dust so it can be squeegied out from underneath the screen protector. Ghost Armor's adhesive, however, seems to grab onto every speck of dust it can find (apparently it's also got a static attraction component) and literally will not let go. Not even tape pulls it off, you have to soak it down and then scrape it off with a fingernail...at which point more dust gets pulled in and adheres. Any dust. Even in a humid bathroom. Horrible design.

Skinomi, Zagg, ArmorSuit, all of them work wonderfully in the same environment and under the same conditions. Ghost Armor? They can't even measure phone dimensions or create properly cut and sized skin pieces, so I guess asking them to create a proper wet-applied TPU screen protector is too much to ask.
[Xperia Z3 General] xxquicksh0txx:
I have used Ghost Armor many times, but have quit using wet-applied protectors in favor of glass protectors. (If I use one at all)

I guess your dust is more dusty than my dust.
[Xperia Z3 General] CentaXx:
I installed cheap mumbi display protectors on the front and back when i got the phone. Both without a single spot of dust or air under them. I don't even want to install my screen protector made of glass, as i then have to pull of the perfect installed normal protector.

Before installation, i had to wipe the screen several times as there was always new dust on it, i did not apply them wet or in my bathroom. Absolutely no problems, so i don't understand how there can be so much dust under the protector if anyone knows what he's doing.
[Xperia Z3 General] npaladin2000:
Again, I can get any brand on completely dust-free, except for these things. Ergo, something is wrong with these things.
[Xperia Z3 General] xxquicksh0txx:
It's completely possible you had a bad install...

Perhaps they use a better adhesive. I've never had any problem installing Ghost Armor, or any other "brand" screen protector.
[Xperia Z3 General] npaladin2000:
Maybe so. I think I read at one point that their protectors could optionally be installed dry, so maybe they're designed that way. But better isn't necessarily good. And I notice their instructions specify a wet install now.

Incidentally I just tried scraping off the dust and reapplying the thing. Only this time in my relatively dust free datacenter. And guess what? It managed to find some dust from somewhere. Damn, they should compete with Swiffer.

Anyway my emergency Skinomi will be here on Thursday. In the meantime this screen is driving me nuts though.
[Xperia Z3 General] danw_oz:
Interesting, I have used it on four phones, and not a single spec of dust on any of them if you prepare your surface correctly, I normally keep the phone screen facing the ground to stop dust settling on it, then apply holding the phone sideways as to keep as smallest surface area exposed to falling dust

Having installed battery doctor app, i have somehow managed to deactivate overheating control service. Right now my phone is pretty fast, opening the settings menu quicker. But i also sense an heating which i have not faced so far. Having checked the running apps section i realized that overheating control service is not available, which is not normal given the fact that it was always there before i installed and used battery doctor. I tried to reset my phone but nothing have changed. Any idea about how to solve this problem?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrBy:
I would check the disabled apps - if it's there and disabled then enable it. If that's no good - you could always connect it to your PC and run the Sony tool to restore your phone witch should set everything back to factory.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skottieswift:
I bought a nexus 5 directly from google when it first was released. Within two weeks my wife had broken the screen and so I sent it in to LG. They sent it back unfixed and with no quote saying the motherboard is bent. I tried turning it on today (years later) and it did power on except the screen was messed. It was previously cracked when it was broken (pics attached). Do you think judging from the pics that if I got and changed the screen it might still be okay? Motherboard doesn't look bent.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upndwn4par:
If you bought it from Google Play in the US, you get one free screen replacement. It's worth trying a RMA.

did any one find a solution?

A fully compatible exchange 2007 mail server for my home pc, something like "kerio mail server".

That way I can active sync my WM6 tytn to my own server and get full HTML support.

A free web host that has exchange 2007(mail2web does not support 2007) will be nice two :)

Is your SD card slot working? If so then the issues would be either

Not formated to fat32

Not named properly (make sure it is named PD15IMG.zip - if on windows know it will often hide file extensions by default)

Or its not on root of SD card
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlickStretch:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Theres no other reason why it wouldn't work, you don't have extensions hidden do you? If so it would make the file name PD15IMG.zip.zip
