[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] StevePritchard:
I'm in general agreement about the lack of a replacement for the Uni. The Advantage is simply too large for a phone - the Uni is very much borderline, in my opinion.

If HTC could provide a PDA Phone that had a full keyboard with numbers at the top (like the Uni), a VGA (or better) screen, preferably clamshell in a smaller package, then I think it would be a winner (especially with an outer LCD to display caller ID).

If you look at the screen on the Uni, it's about 5.5cm tall by 7.5cm wide, and the keyboard is 5cm tall by 11.5cm wide. If the packaging of the Uni could be brought down to, say, 12cm x 6cm x 1.5cm (or more like the Nokia E90 13cm x 6cm x 2cm ) - then you are only looking at being marginally larger than a mass market phone like the Nokia N95, which is 10cm x 5.5cm x 2cm (roughly).

I don't have a problem with the spec of the Uni, per se. Sure, a better camera, faster processor, and built in GPS would be great - for me, the biggest problem with the Uni is it's size (and the fact it's a CRAP phone). I can impress my mates showing DivX movies, playing MP3s, playing games, Sat Nav, and browsing the net (with a PROPER browser), but after they get over the cool features, they all say "it's a bit big though, isn't it?".

A couple of friends have moved away from WM phones (XDA Mini, and Uni) because of a) size, and b) the fact that as phones, they are generally poor. If the features of the Uni could be put into a smaller form factor (and maybe improved along the way), and the phone features made more reliable, then I'm sure there would be a whole bunch of technically savy punters queuing up to buy one - I just don't think the Advantage (or Shift, even) with it's enhanced features, but bigger size, is the way to go.

Cheers,

Steve.

It's not really the size that bothers me. I'm a big guy, so a big phone kinda suits me. :) The only problem I have with it is the clamshell design. I can't use it with one hand! I hate it when someone sends me an SMS message on the road, and I have a soda on one hand.. I have to put the soda down just to use my Uni! :( If I can find a phone with a slide out keyboard, 3G, and VGA screen, 520Mhz or faster processor... I'd definitely replace this Uni.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] alphaandomega:
If the past is any indication (and it usually is), then there will never be a WM6 for Universal. Just because you think it's great - so do I, by the way - means absolutely nothing to phone manufacturers.

They want to sell phones. Why do you think they keep coming up with more and more models? They don't care about you or your OS, they want to make money. They won't make much money selling an OS upgrade. The Universal is not even 1% of the total phone market - just look at how many people post here at the Universal forum. Hundreds? Worldwide, there are probably thousands of Universal owners - a microscopic drop, compared to the hundreds of millions of other phones.

We are just like the folks who are trying to make anabolic steroids legal - they'll never succeed, because their lobby is just not big enough (while cigarettes that are clinically proven to be thousands of times more dangerous, are perfectly legal).

We, Universal owners, are just too insignificant. (Trying to get support for Universal here in Asia is just impossible - the masses want ridiculously small phones and they are happy with crappy screens.) We don't matter - who's going to bother with thousands when they can sell tens of millions? This is the curse of buying a top-of-the-line product: you are the absolute minority. Just as yourself, how many Vertu service centers do you know of?

Lame... well i suppose i'll have to make do with a custom non-official release then i guess...!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] sevenstar:
maybe you can check the XDA Flame device. i think its a nice one, but it only got 64mb ram. if it have a 128mb version with WM6 upgrade it will be a nice successor of the universal.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kdskamal:
FYI, Flame has 128MB ram

Well said. I had a minor fling with a XDA Mini S. Really missed the VGA screen. Came back to the good ole XDA Exec a year later, and when flashed with jcwrights' AKU3.2, it's running faster than any XDA I've ever known!!

I wonder if the HTC TyTn is faster than the Universal though....anyone know with certainty?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] robmeik:
I agree that the Uni is great. I have it as a Jasjar from iMate. I am certain that an official WM6 will not be released.

I am looking with a great deal of interest in the IMate Ultimate 7150 though ... smaller than Jasjar, but with decent size screen and WM6 ... we shall see!!!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] fallenczar:
smaller than jasjar ????? i don't think so
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] EastExpert:
No way on Earth it can be smaller :)

"Measuring 133.1x97x20 mm and weighting about 350 g, the X7500 is somewhat more cumbersome compared to HTC Universal’s numbers, which are 127.7x81x25 mm and 285 g respectively. In spite of the company considering this device “still pocketable”, you won’t have a good time dragging it along – dimensions-wise the X7500 goes almost hand in hand with UMPC computers of 2- and 3-G, while its functionality, as of today, is somewhere between PocketPC and UMPC."

And I thought Universal was big...

Me, I'm seriously looking at the E-TEN Glofiish X800 which is due in July. All types of wireless connectivity, GPS, VGA Screen and no keyboard to make the device bulky. I still am enviously looking on XDA II which I passed to my missus -- how much more convenient it was.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] wtpelzer:
Toshiba Portege G900...

Naah, I've been looking at the Ultimate X7500 and then found the above PDA here http://www.mobileburn.com/review.jsp?Id=3148&source=RSS ;) hoping to see a full review of one sometime... :rolleyes: Was supposed to be released this May 2007, still haven't seen any sign of it - but I suppose the month is young yet. It's not necessarily better than the Universal (it is smaller, more like the TyTN size :D) but it does have a better screen (800x480) :cool: and it might be an option when mine finally gives up the ghost. Wonder how third party apps will handle the screen though? I also think it ships with a PXA272 416Mhz CPU which will mean it does have better memory and resource management then the Universal - rumoured to have a seperate GPU as well...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] EastExpert:
All right, sorry mate, my fault, I confused them two 7150 & Advantage.

This one definitely smaller.

But 7150 doesn't have GPS and I'm quite determined that time has come to have just ONE device for it all. This is why I personally look so far in the direction of E-TEN Glofiish X800 rather than this one.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] robmeik:
True, it doesn't have GPS. I also have the ETEN M700 (I got it for the GPS and size) and inspite of all the negative comments on the ETEN forum, I find it excellent and use it more that my JASJAR.

I think alot of people went to the M700 from Symbian software looking at it as an alternative rather than waiting for the N95 (which is now out) as most of the problems talked about are to do with the software! Not all of them I agree ... but nothing is perfect
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] tin2404:
Providers does not have any influance in that...They only sell products..Question is who of big tech-companies which develop devices will be the first to pay Microsoft for it...Do not forget that Nokia with its model 888 is in the game here...As last readings on internet are..it shows that Nokia has serious dilemas about WM platform...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] fallenczar:
hey

how do you find eten's gsm radio implementation?? are there fewer dropped calls ???

also some where in howards forum around 2 months back there was intense discussion about the ultimate series (specially 7150) and it was concluded that the dimensions provided were wrong (on the basis of photographs with existing models)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] CWKJ:
Everyone is guessing and waiting.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] robmeik:
It seems to be OK. I have never had any dropped calls on the M700 ... there were some problems with the call quality (echoing) reported by some people, but that seems to have been ironed out with the new WM6 release!!! Just finished flashing the new ROM and now sorting out all my "add-ons"!:)

I still think that the iMate Ultimate 7150 will replace my JASJAR ... we'll see!!!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] om nom nom:
Hello

I usually dont write in forums for help but I just dont know what to do anymore, so I try my best to explain.

I rooted my HTC ONE M8 DUALSIM and it worked as far as I guess: I can use superSu etc.

( I used this as help...)

After that I installed TWRP from here.

so far so good... At this point everything works well I guess. I made a backup and copied ViperOneM8 4.3.0 (source) on my SD. I full wiped and installed.

Installation worked well (could go into venom menu and setup the stuff I wanted) at the end he says everything fine (no error) and reboot.

Now here is the problem: From now on I get stuck in the flashboot menu. I cant boot the OS normally. Everytime I try to reebot (tried it manually and form computer) he goes back to flashboot menu. I can still go in Recovery menu and restore my backup.

I tried: wipe again after rom installation, factory reset, install other ROMS (ViperOneM8 3.2.0, Insert Coin and even Cyanogenmod nightly) but none of them worked too.

I installed an older version of TWRP and tried it with Rom Clock Work Manager.

So I really dont know any further. Is it because I have the HTC ONE M8 DUALSIM?

I hope you can understand my problem, sorry for bad english.

If it helps:

model: HTC ONE_M8 dual sim

Android: 4.4.4

HTC: 6.0

thanks already <3

// EDIT: ok quite stupid but after searching for another hour or something I guess its because M8 Roms doesnt work for M8 dual sim.

if true: new question would be has anybody good experience with a htc one m8 dual sim rom?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slumerican35:
Ok so I have a htc one m8, I got it when they first come out last year, ended up having to pawn it and couldn't get it back till last week. somehow the pawn shop still had it I bought it back. Now with that being said, I was on the EIP program through tmobile and never paid it off. so my question is is can I use this phone on another carrier. I have installed the newest skydragon rom with htc sense 7 wwe edition. I have s-off through sunshine. and have ran a program called SEEMPI universal sim unlock tool. And still cant connect to another carrier. well ive only tried METROpcs cause that's who im with now. But they always want and need the IMEI number to try and connect it and that's where the problem is. The IMEI number is locked by tmobile is there anyway to use this phone again? Thanks in adavance to anyone that can help, this is my first post by the way but long time student and reader. Thanks to all
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
If the IMEI is blocked it'll remain blocked until you pay off the money owed to T-Mobile (and even then they might not remove the block)

Pay your bill man. You like having new toys but not paying for it? There's not much can be done since it's blocked.

Hi

Today I tried a build.prop mod I had found to give all apps access to multiwindow on my d852.

http://lgg3root.com/lg-g3-root-tutorials/how-to-enable-all-apps-for-dual-window-on-rooted-lg-g3/

After I finished the instructions and rebooted, I have not been past the splash screen since, which was like 7 hours ago.

When I try to factory reset through recovery it gives me a secure boot error, no dice.

When I try to reset via Flashtool, I get through all the steps in the xda guide, and then after I hit start, nothing happens, at least not in the 10 minutes I let it go.

Any help at all would be wonderful, because I'm stumped.

Woww, 5.1 already ? :eek: lol, Thanks brother :D, I wanna report some bugs to you.

Play store isnt updating in background, some of the apps force closes. Im not sure if its me, I'll probably try it again with a different 5.1 gapps.

Connecting to the computer is an issue, its probably known.

Baseband: I see the baseband number but wont be able to verify because im not in Toronto, Canada, im in London England for 1 week.

Wifi: working

Keyboard: Working (finally) , (Used to be an issue when it randomly closes in 5.0 builds ).

But other than that everything seems to be working fine and smooth.

Great build brother.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gimmeitorilltell:
Haha thanks bud. It definitely gets tuff trying to maintain several roms at once but my hope was to get more people into building. Im dropping this actually so I can build other roms. Omnirom will most likely be my next culprit and then whatever. I plan on just uploading my other roms and share a link in the general section so folks don't expect fixes and whatnots. This is probably the last of android updates our old device will be able to run decent on anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
That's why I posted the how to build cm back in the day to try and gain interest for people to start building, 1 or 2 might but that's all you need.

You already have a few theme engine rom builds maybe go for something a bit different and build a rom based with Layers, it makes a ton of sense for the i717 since Layers is boat loads smaller then theme manager and since the i717 suffers space issues it might help.

Gotta heat up our left over moose and beaver soup some how... hahaha

Installation screen problems

I installed the ROM into my Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-I717 and it looks good, but one problem is that after I pressed "next" from the WiFi page, it went to the "Sign-In to network." When I tried to use this, it said, "Unfortunately, CaptivePortalLogin has stopped" because there is no login page for the network. Also, it doesn't pass the Google account! So I tried again and it doesn't work.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvanLei1:
Sign in to the network pops up every time

Every several hours after I pressed the question mark WiFi notification, another one pops up. I don't know why developers do that. The network contains a password and it doesn't have a CaptivePortalLogin, so it keeps saying "sign in to the network."

I also wanted to know how to use the SD card as internal storage because there is not an ability to move apps to the SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvanLei1:
App problems

This is one of the worst problems I've ever seen on my phone. This is very horrible, I know that.

When I open a game (like Plants Vs. Zombies 2), it was in a landscape version, and I can't pull tabs while in landscape version.

When a game prompted to enter a text, the custom ROM OS doesn't do that and refuses, making it harder to use it.

When the game was turned off, I turned back on, and the app crashes immediately.

When I exit and enter the game, the game crashes immediately.

Sometimes when the game was loading, it immediately restarts.
