[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
This just shows how all things are subjective... spzero likes the flext reminder messages, they just really annoy me and are now disabled.

I think O2 were much better than TMob, i would have stayed with them if it wasnt for the flat rate data from web&walk.

I have lots of friends on TMob too and they say its crap for them too. I have tried different phones and same problems so its not settings. There is no setting to make incoming calls fail before they get to my phone! I had a TMob contract many years back and it was total rubbish then. I thought by now it would have been better, but I was wrong.

If I force UMTS only, i would lose all signal often. Maybe it works fine where you live, but for me it doesnt.

They just dont have the coverage. If they did there would be no need for a postcode checker on the site to make sure they cover your area. All other networks just assume everywhere is covered except TMob.

I have TMob only because of Web&Walk. When other networks get better data plans ill move, preferably to O2, but maybe to Orange.

My main hate for TMob is the customer (dis)service. I wont list the whole story here, but lets just say they have treated me like crap on many occations.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] apd:
I personally found O2 customer service somewhere beneath awful. Anyway, that aside, as I understand it O2 will be announcing new and more competitive data plans shortly.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pantaloonie:
I live in London, and have never had a problem with T-mobiles service and coverage.

The customer service is another matter....

At least their latest cockup benefits me instead of them, the £325 I paid upfront via credit card for the Ameo has since been credited to my account, and two months later, after 2 bills, I am still around £260 in credit.

Here's hoping they won't spot their error...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
Aaahh, yes, the good old "Bank error in your favour, receive £200"

Out of interest, whats the longest youve been on hold with O2?

TMob kept me on hold for 45 minutes, then simply picked up the phone (I could hear office noise in the background) and hung up.

They did this 3 times in a row. (btw, I was paying 50p a minute at this point for customer support even though it was on a 18month contract)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
which line did you dial? if you dial 150, then you don't need to pay anything. You must have dial the wrong number. BTW, let me ask you again, do you have registry tweak to always enable internet connection?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
I have not done any reg hack regarding always on connection. Did you have a particular key in mind? Was it meant to make my problems worse/better?

Ive never had a problem with data, other than where coverage and signal got crappy.

And, get this, it WAS 150 I dialed that was charging me. I found in the small print after signing that i had to pay 50p a minute for customer services even when I dialed via 150. Apparently they cap at about £15, but thats still not good.

They have since changed this as they realised they couldnt get away with it for long, but I feel sorry for anybody who didnt notice and now pays for calling 150.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
if i apply the registry key, my call drop rate will increase, but since you didn't apply it, then that's not the problem. So are you saying we have to pay 50p if we call 150? that is not right isn't it? or have they change it to free recently?

btw, which part of London are you? do you have your sim card for a long time? are you connect to HSDPA network at all or not?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Pyrofer:
the pay 150 thing changed weeks after i kicked up lots of fuss, as i assume did others.

its a 2 month old sim and im in clapham.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] spoonter:
£240 upgrade

My 18-month "upgrade flag" is today. I just rang T-Mobile UK and was offered a "£180 discount" making the price £260.

I thought this a bit much so tried to haggel a bit, even offering to increase my price plan (currently on Flext 25 + web'n'walk). They said this would make no difference and that they current discount they were offering me was in the "top bracket".

After a bit more pushing they said that if I agreed not to reduce my current plan for 6 months that they would discount the price a further £20.

So what do you reckon? £240 a resonable price for the Ameo? It's an 18-month contract on Flext 25 + web'n'walk.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tomchap:
Well as a new tmobile customer to get the phone for £199 i had to sign up for the Flex 35 (18month) Tariff and along with Web and Walk plus total im paying is £42.50 a month. (this was a better deal than listed on the website and it appears it still isnt on the website either).

Whats stopping customers from saying they are a new customer and getting a good deal? Ive done that before, its alot of messing about but it saved me £££s!

It seems the norm for most networks to try to get what they can £££ wise when people try to upgrade these days. Altho ive found orange to be quite helpful albeit talking to customer retentions they do try to keep you with them.

I think £240 is a good deal considering the price on expansys for the phone but then again would be nice if it was cheaper!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
you got it for £199? that's more then i expect.... i can get it for £119 with the same tariff you have. Have they increase the price already? or you just got a bad deal?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] RichardKAthena:
I got mine for £119 and £37.50 Flext 35 with Web 'n' Walk (£5 discount from somewhere on the W&W package).

This offer isn't on their website anymore, and I expect that now they are doing free national/weekend calls on some Flext packages, they will have revised the in-store pricing as well.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
that's the price i can get, and just in case they increase the price or realize the pricing mistake, i have a quote from the store manager saying that they will still offer me the same offer even the price change :)

Hello

I restored factory/data reset on my grand duo gt-9082 and suddenly encountered the following problems

1. Both IMEI shows 'invalid' and the SIM Card in the phone when i did the reset doesn't work with the phone anymore.Unfortunately i do not have an efs backup

2.I cannot boot to download mode so i could use ODIN. voldown+menu+power boots to recovery, volup+menu+power also boots to recovery. I've tried all possible button combo including command/adb in windows no success.

No reliable service center around here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lvl5accelerator:
Hi everyone. My phone is rooted and has Safestrap Recovery. I've been anticipating the Android L update for some time and have been used the better part of my weekend trying to figure out how to get that experience. However I'm near my wits end and thought I might as well just ask the experts.

Has anyone tried or know of any way to try out the new update? I've tried a Cyanogenmod 12 rom with the Safestrap Recovery on a new partition or "slot" with no luck. I'd prefer some method that'll let me flash a non-stock rom so I can have the ability to tether (I'm on a T-Mobile sim card with an unlocked phone).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scibuff:
I have also tried a Lollipop ROM, specifically the GPE one, with no luck. We unfortunately cannot use Cyanogenmod, due to the locked bootloader which prevents using custom kernels (SafeStrap is like a workaround, with some limitations). It's only a matter of time before the official Lollipop update rolls around. By then, there'll hopefully be a Safestrap-adapted GPE 5.0 Lollipop ROM.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] xdabadauser:
Hey!

I tried to follow the instructions on http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53402202&postcount=1

However, at the steps ...

... I accidentally skipped the "-> Repair or change File Sytem -> Change File System -> Ext4 -> Swipe now->" part. Now, everytime I turn on my phone, Android starts up but only gets to the point where it says "Encryption unsuccessful". And it only provides one button to "Reset phone". When doing that, it restarts, executes a script but situation doesn't change. I always end up with that screen saying "Encryption unsuccessful".

Now I want to start from scratch, but I can't get into recovery mode (TWRP) - I simply don't know how and can't find it using google or forum search.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] BenzoX:
It depend of your FOTA. If you use omnirom or badadroid FOTA :

TWRP Recovery mode is available using VolUp + End keys

(volk quote from one of his thread)

On other FOTAs it may be home+end or call+end, or volume down+end. Try it all.
[Bada Software and Hacking General] xdabadauser:
Thank you BenzoX! For me and my Wave (S8500), Home + End Key worked!

I then repeated everything according to the instructions but changed things a little bit: instead of ...

... I checked only one at a time and changed its File System to ext4 (for one or two that failed, but the others worked, which is fine). Now I can boot into Android 4.4.4 on my Wave :D

[Android Apps and Games] Degineth:
UPDATE: I have just released an update where you can unlock new balls to play with (that sounds so wrong) By collecting and spending crowns you can unlock new balls ranging from the US flag, to a bomb or a piggy ball :).

You might remember thread from last week in which I developed a game without any prior game development experience or programming knowledge.

Now, I've created another game, this time, developed and shipped to the Play Store in under 5 hours. Here's the breakdown of the things done:

Put on paper the basic idea and look

Created the game layout in Photoshop

Created all the assets (platforms, ball, background, title screen, crown pickups)

Animated the assets in After Effects

Put everything together in C2 and created the gameplay and logic

Implemented Google Play leaderboards and achievements

Waste almost an hour on a stupid syncronization bug (different framerates = different restuls - was not using delta time)

Choose appropriate music and sounds and plug them in

Create all the promotional materials (screenshots, mockups, icons, etc)

Publish on Google Play

Since this is a technical forum I've listed my process before actually saying anything about the game.

Dumb Ball is a simple one-tap game where you have to keep the little ball on the moving platforms while collecting "crowns" and increasing your score. The gameplay mechanics are simple, but surprisingly a lot of fun and makes you want to "try again and again" as some of my friends put it. With the aesthetics I tried to follow a similar style to Monument Valley. While not even getting close to that level of quality and talent, I still believe the game looks quite nice and clean.

Here's the Google Play link

And QR Code if you're not reading this on mobile

[IMG="ZigZag Ball"]http://i.imgur.com/hcVr17f.png[/IMG]

And some screenshots:

​

Edit: The game is now called Dumb Ball because I was stupid enough to write in the original game's description "graphic style similar to Mountain Valley" and Google pulled the plug on that store listing. Since then, I have just reuploaded the APK and changed the description. Same game, different name and I learned my lesson on not to mention other games' names in the description although I never intended to "impersonate" another game, as the policy states.

I would really love to hear your feedback on:

Performance

On a scale of 1 to 10 how fun do you believe it is

Is it too hard or too easy for you?

What would you improve?

Thank you for reading, and if you liked it please rate it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Spider1996:
Hey,

1. So performance, no issues here runs great on my Lollipop OnePlus One...

2. Like it but makes me angry or sad sometimes when I fall out of the world (Want to throw my OnePlus out of the window but can't stop to play) hmmm changes after every round... 7 maybe more if it gets extended. Will show it my friends tomorrow and look what they tell me...

3. It's training I think, atm I can't get more then 20 Points so for the start its too hard for me but I think this switches after some time

4. Improvements? Don't know in which the game will go... Hm I will call it Ideas...

-Rewards like new theme, balls, effects. Maybe extra lifes?

-Don't know that yet if it is implemented: After some time a smaller path for the ball and at start a bit bigger one.

-A second control as an non touch option where the Motion sensor is used

-Branches so you could choose a second way

-Special Paths where the color changes or the ball gets faster or the path itself rounded edges or something like this ones.

-Sometimes the game removes the Path before it went out of the world it's only visual but want to say it...

Edit: And the Music toggle button don't work for me...

So definitely a great game and this in only 5 hours, I'm not a Dev but this is fast I think...

Robin

Thanks a lot for the feedback, really appreciate it!

I'm really glad you like the game and that you found it fun :) I know it can be hard at times, but with a little practice you can get high scores. Right now my highest is 260 and there's a guy on the leaderboard with 311, so it's doable.

As for improvements, I was already thinking of adding stuff that you can buy with the crowns, and your suggestions are great.

Thanks again for downloading and for playing. If you could rate it on the playstore that would be awesome :)
[Android Apps and Games] Graphical One:
I will definitely try this when I get the chance:)
[Android Apps and Games] vanlong441:
nice game.

suggestion:

give it a RPG element. Add branches on which there are boosts and spells. Presumably there is a boss at every 50 crowns., which requires more than 50 crowns to get through it. The exceeding crowns can be found by completing dungeons. Spells that add ability to revive yourself near dying point, straighthen the path in a certain amount of time (who doesn't like a smooth path after all the Z turns) can also be found at the end of the dungeons.

In this RPG mode I think there should be room for extended playing time which means people can save and start the game again at their convenience. Falling is still fatal but not final.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] mangurian:
I am interested in upgrading from a 2012 to a 2014 edition.

Can some of you please comment on reviews that say there is "sluggish" performance with the 2014 (I would get a 600 wifi model).﻿

Also - is there a performance difference between the 16GB and 32GB models.

I would use the expansion slot.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] cindylee60:
The only sluggish thing I've found with my wifi only 32g model is waking up. It takes a few seconds, maybe 2 or 3, to wake which is slower than my previous tablet. But once it wakes up, it's a great tablet. And if you use the S Pen feature, nothing comes close.

From what I understand, the sluggishness you've read about was from the version of Android the Note launched with, or perhaps a first update. I got mine after the first few updates and I've never experienced the stuttering the reviews talked about.

I've had mine for 7 or 8 months and I still love it!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dr.bro:
I bought note 2014 around 8 months ago, i use it everyday, and it doesn't feel smooth but its powerful, its hard to explain for example:

My friends same year nexus feels smoother in menu ,but demanding games which lags in his device works good on mine, also note has really fancy long interface animations for example if you slide from one screen to another that sliding animation is long and it feels slow, but you can go to dev options (without rooting) and make it play twice faster.

Also if you don't plan to play with rooting and roms, don't forget Samsung forgets about their devices in 1year or two, device is now on android 4.2.2 i think , and it can be last official update.

all in all it doesnt feel perfect and maybe now where is better options for similar price i don't know but when i bought it friends said its slow and blah blah , and at the moment i can run every game i want and a lot off my friends with similar age devices sits where and enjoys their smooth screen unlocking animations.

edit:

pay attention that note WiFi is slower it has different cpu then lte version
