I've been using I-mate Jamin for more than a year now with few problems in Syncing my Outlook (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Notes.. )

Recently, the device started slowing down considerably, and failed to sync with Outlook. I did a hard reset & started all over. after many trials & hard resets, the problem kept arising, and I discovered that the problem occurs when I sync the Calendar to the device.

So I decided to sync only the past 6 months of Appointments instead of the whole thing. Turns out this is not the problem. I narrowed down the Problem to Birthdays. When I sync the Birthdays, the problem happens, all other Calendar appointments are OK.

I tried deleting all Birthdays and recreating them one by one (by re-saving the contacts that contain Birthdays) thinking that I have some corrupt ones, but even that didn't solve the problem. The newly created Birthdays still slowed down the device & prevented Sync and i even had to Hard reset the device again..

I can't figure out the problem at all.. these birthdays were on my device for the whole year, I didn't change anything subtle (like new ROM or new Application).. the problem just happened out of the Blue and I can't seem to solve it... I even tried syncing the Birthdays one by one.. the problem seems random, and to prove it, I re-created the birtdays as I said above..

Can anyone help???

During the password change soon as I hit enter on the confirmation it crashed and immediately went to lock screen. I entered the previous password and the new password and some error occurred and it did not work.

Hey guys!

I was using CM12 but I had to return to stock because some bad battery drain issues. When using a fix for WhatsApp audio recording (avaliable on the CM12 thread), I noticed a HUGE sound quality increase on my voice recordings - no more crappy telephone-like voices, it sounds clear without noises and stuff. I decided to try the same audio file for stock KK but unfortunately it is incompatible.

My question is: since the same hardware can provide two very diferent sound quality levels, what I need to do in order to achieve the same or similar sound quality in Stock 4.4.4 ROM? Is there a file where I can change sound parameters and make it work better?

It won't boot means it stuck on boot splash screen ?

If yes ... press & hold power & volume up buttons until the screen goes blank, release both buttons and quickly press & hold volume down button, this will take you to hboot, then select recovery again ... so now you have 2.8.1.0 TWRP installed ?

after unrar, you see folder TWRP_1.54.161.10, inside this TWRP_1.54.161.10 is another folder I believe, transfer the last folder with its content to TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./folder here <----

I rewrite the simple guide to suit your case (the one that I was going to write but you cannot wait till I'm home) ;) :

1. Install TWRP 2.8.1.0 - http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m8

command fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-m8.img

2. Download TWRP backup 1.54.161.10 - https://mega.co.nz/#!HsIVxDiD!Uzz0ddLc1KxBXCW8hIghSqXrrPmgXhEFIPkBHy4DIVg

3. Download stock 1.54.161.10 recovery - http://sourceforge.net/projects/htconem8/files/Recovery/1.54.161.10_recovery.img/download

4. Extract the downloaded 1.54.161.10_ckpv5.zip on PC

5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.

6. Reboot, connect device to PC then open Internal Storage, TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./

7. Transfer the extracted 1.54.161.10 folder (not 1.54.161.10_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device

TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./1.54.161.10

8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)

9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore

10. In reboot menu select bootloader

11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery 1.54.161.10_recovery.img

12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install

13. repeat step 12 until the last OTA 4.19.161.2

14. done

If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 after last OTA 4.19.161.2

Hey Guys, I picked up a white V500 this weekend and will give the Mrs the choice of this or my Nexus 7 (2013) to use as her daily driver.

Having a look around the settings I was extremely suprised to see ART in developer options. :) (As its missing on my G2.)

As this thing is so new, I've not had the chance to compare things myself yet. I'm running firmware 20D.

I created this thread to discuss the performance/battery/stability etc of Dalvik vs ART. What are your thoughts?

On my initial battery test, my batter went down 24% on a 80 minute video at full brightness with wifi on running Dalvik. This was 1% worse than the Nexus 7. I thought this was reasonable and will retest using ART later.
[G Pad 8.3 General] muiriddin:
I have run both and have not really noticed a change in battery life. Art seemed slightly snappier performance wise though... I was running a rom at the time though.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Masteryates:
Yes, ART was much more responsive in my days of the Nexus 5.

I did another battery test using ART yesterday on an 80 minute video, 100% screen brightness with Wifi turned on:-

- Nexus 7 ART, down to 77%

- Gpad Dalvik, down to 76%

- Gpad ART, down to 77%

10 hours after, I looked at the Gpad again, and it was still on 77%. :victory:

As long as there are no stabililty issues, I'm staying on ART for sure. :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] broudie:
Hello all.

My first post - unfortunately it's with a problem!

I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, recently I've noticed that if I have received an SMS, and not read it, then need to use the soft reset (for anything) - it deletes the SMS - as if I never received it. This doesn't happen when I hard reset the handset.

I had a friend test it on his phone - he doesn't have this issue.... I'm guessing that the SMS is initially held in a buffer until it's read - which presumably is cleared on soft reset - fair enough - but my friend has exactly the same phone and his doesn't do this... so is it a setting somwhere I can change?

I know the obvious answer is not to use soft reset when I've got SMS outstanding, but now I know it's an issue, i'd like to know the cause, and resolve it if possible!

Thanks
