[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanleyopar2000:
So...after being burned by Carrier branding and OEM locking i'm going to try something new.

Not get a samsung device. I tired HTC But I got burned with the Thunderbolt and the Rezound (BOTH phones I had to get an extened battery)

But I've done my research and each OEM has it's own caveats ....what do you think?

Sony: Features are lost if you unlock the bootloader. Root is EVERYTHING to me. I've never had an android phone that I couldn't root. The one that I couldn't. I didnt own. (I passed on a Note 4 for a S5 because it *STILL* doesn't have root) Plus I heard (and i've done research) the verizon variant of the Z3 sucks more than a vacuum cleaner (compared to the REAL Z3) VZW pulled an Apple like the iTouch 3G 8GB (THEY DON'T EXIST. 8GB is really 2G)

OnePlus: I have no F**king idea what they are like. If anyone has a 1+ would they be so kind to share with me their experience with it? (heard it's GSM only)

Asus Phone: no clue either. They look good though. Any info? (GSM exclusive too)

LG: screens are nice on them. Had a G Pro years ago and it was OKAY...just okay. It didn't blow me away. Wife had the G3 for a week and got a Note 4 instead. So I really didn't get to use it much

Google / Motorola: (Nexus): great phones. Bootloader unlock ability. But NO SD card (which is why i'm giving sammy the finger next time around)

HTC: See Above. DIdn't have a super experience with them twice. M9 looks interesting....But I might be willing to try them again.....

Samsung: ........ nope. nuh uh.

Now i've been thinking about buying an international version to use with USA (VZW) but Is that possible? Probably not. GSM users most likely. I'm tired of these damn carrier branding and bootloader locking down crap. Or maybe a developer edition ofa device.....lots of options here...what do you guys (and gals) think? Who should I trust my future with?

I very much appreciate all of the expertise here on this site and am hoping that somebody can give me some help on this. I just refreshed my computer from XP SP2 to VISTA and am not sure how to sync anymore. I know that there is a built-in Windows Mobile Device Center, but when I connect my HTC Hermes to my PC, it appears to want to sync only music and video files. I have been unable to figure out a way to sync OUTLOOK 2007 mail/calendar/contact items. If any of you can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful!

Thanks in advance,

I rooted my m8 for t-mobile and am running resurrection remix Lollipop 5.1, I don't think the Rom has anything to do with it because I have used other rooms before and still had the same issue. Does not have to deal with my sms app either as I have tried multiple apps including my stock one and hangouts and the issue still occurs. My texts will not send correctly. I will text someone, and everything will seem fine, my phone says that the text has been sent, however the person never received the text. This happens with multiple people. Can anyone help?

if you have the lux app installed, you wont get supersu to work on cleanmaster; also, some have said that having autobrightness on will keep you from being able to grant SU access on a lot of apps..

Also, be careful using the version of TWRP that is posted in here, as it is NOT the "official" version of TWRP put out by the TWRP team....

Anyone know of a non-CM-based 5.1 ROM that allows reading NFC tags while the phone is off and/locked? Thanks.

This used to be possible in 4.x with an Xposed mod but no longer. I'm looking for baked-in fix. I have a CM-based ROM with this but there are some side issues I'm trying to avoid.
[Samsung Gear VR] kosmarnik:
Hi,

I just got my Gear VR and need to get an Note 4 :)

Seeing as Samsung has finally made Exynos work with the Gear VR, I'm interested in the performance differences if any?

Before I bite the bullet and get one I'd love to see some feedback (also Exynos is much more readily available in my country).

I'm also curious about the thermal throttling on both.

Thanks!
[Samsung Gear VR] Toss3:
The only issues you are going to run into are app-incompabilties, as there are quite a few apps that don't work on the exynos note 4. Haven't run into any performance issues, but then again I haven't yet been able to test it out on a snapdragon variant.
[Samsung Gear VR] kosmarnik:
Thanks, good to have some feedback.

How long can you use it before it starts to overheat?

AFAIK Exynos should also run into thermal throttling earlier and more severe.
[Samsung Gear VR] Toss3:
What makes you think that the Exynos would throttle faster? Based on the old s805 vs Exynos 5433 thread I think the exact opposite is true. Haven't run into any overheating warnings on my Gear VR since KK. Recommend getting a second battery with an external charger though as the Gear VR likes to eat battery for breakfast, lunch and supper. ;)
[Samsung Gear VR] gabster21:
Note 4 with Exynos seems to lag severely when streaming on chromecast, inside the VR everything is smooth but on the TV it's about 1 frame every 5 seconds or worse..
[Samsung Gear VR] kosmarnik:
There were side by side reviews of Exynos and Snapdragon where they also looking into throttling, Exynos was by far worse.

I'll see if I can dig up the review.
[Samsung Gear VR] Toss3:
Well we should not to open another can of worms and just agree that we don't have enough evidence to prove either argument (depends on so many different factors). Personally though I haven't seen any overheating on my Exynos 5433 when using the Gear VR and that is all I know. :highfive:

Also not sure how the support is going to be for the s805 in the future, as all of the S6s have exynos SoCs so there are a lot more of those (insane amount really). :confused:
[Samsung Gear VR] kwmikos:
Because i am very interested in buying the gear, can you name some of the apps that have the incompatibilities you said above?

Thank you. :)
[Samsung Gear VR] Toss3:
Haven't tried them all, but Matterport has issues, Paul McCartney and NextVR (Coldplay) don't work, etc. So at this point the s805 is better supported by far, but at the same time we have no idea if the S6 with its Gear VR is going to change that.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kishin14:
I like keeping my phone on Adaptive Display most of the time but prefer to watch videos in the Amoled Photo screen mode. Does anyone know if an app like tasker will allow you to set up a rule so that when you open a video app like MX Player, the phone will automatically switch to Amoled Photo mode, then when you exit out, it will revert back to Adaptive Display? If so, can you show me how? I don't mind paying for the app but I'd like to know if its possible before I do. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] DaVince:
I've tried quite a few of the WM6 ROMS (The only ones I haven't tried was Ivan's and Darkforce's). But I always see myself going back to WM5 (mostly because I miss video calling). Is it just me? or is there something about WM6 that I'm not seeing? This question is much like Windows XP vs Windows Vista... I just couldn't see any reason to use Vista.

Anyone kind enough to site the major differences or advantages between the two? (except for aesthetics, of course)

I know I could just google for comparison charts or something.. but I prefer various "user opinions" So please don't point me here: WM5 vs WM6 chart... besides, it's not very accurate since most cooked WM5 ROMS does have a few added features.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
I agree with you to some extent.

In my opinion wm5 is much stable and made for the universal device that we all have.

Wm6 is not compatible and a beta app. Video call is part of the hardware and with wm6 , in-directly we have terminated that, in other words the world moves towards 3G/umts and we have made our devices fall back to 2G with wm6 crossbow which doesnot have video call.

Also its like driving hard to make wm6 perfect , which will never happen.

Its just like using a car and trying to put in a engine that is not compatible.

So I think uni devices is directly proportional to wm5. Period! ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TehPenguin:
The reason I use WM6 over WM5 is this:

I love tweaking and messing around with my Universal

I'm not afraid of "bricking" it or having to reflash\loose data

I am hoping (sometimes I think, its a false hope...) that a WM6 ROM will be superior to my old WM5 one

Why the hell not?

Like I've said before - this is a forum for developers\hackers\tweakers, if you want a perfect ROM - look to your manufacturer. If you want to have some fun with your Universal (and void its warranty) then look no further!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cottinghamm:
There are a couple of apps that I find very useful, the new RDP client is much better & I use that a lot, Internet Sharing is a great tool for connecting to the Internet from my laptop on the move. The upgrade to the Office apps to support Office 2007 documents will help people who move to Off2007, but even though I use it I still save my files in Off2003 format so that the rest of the world can read them.

Apart from that I am sticking with WM5 for now because I need something that works more reliably.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kdskamal:
I have reverted back to WM5 just after using the WM6 on universal for ~1h everytime. Reason: Its slow as compared to WM5(yeah, ironic :p) and few unfixed bugs

But, what I love about WM6..

1)progress bar in Office apps. I love it when it shows the progress while opeing my big word document containing plethora of pics.

2)no 'unidentified driver' problem: many of us were getting this problem under wm5. I didn't experience it under wm6 under that 1h span though ;) (my solution to that problem in WM5: as long as you use wisbar advance2, you will NEVER experience that problem)

3)glossy looks :) (though I still prefer wisbar advance)(see the screenshot attatched)

4)better phone integration

On the other hand, I m using WM6 on my wizard and its perfect :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] N1TeSH1FT:
Well, I don't want to switch back to WM5. Mainly for those reasons:

1/ I don't use video Calling because NO ONE from my about 700 contacts has video calling capabilites (that's Germany ;-)

2/ The new RDP-Client is REALLY great and I use it often to connect to my Server

3/ The Messaging features like "instant search" is for me one of the most important, as I use the universal to write about 20 eMails per Day and take notes when i'm at my customers.

4/ (I know you don't want to read it ;-) The nicer looking

5/ My Universal is much faster with WM6 (not with all releases though) as with the original WM5 ROMs.

6/ The Original T-Mobile WM5 ROM is UGLY AS HELL ;-)

7/ I forgot: The Call-List in the corresponding Contact is another great Feature :-)

If I can think of anything more, I'll tell you :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nispen:
I find WM6 faster and - unlike some posters - much MUCH more stable.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] PaulMdx:
I too have been used such reasoning. Unfortunately after a while I came to the realisation that it was a false hope and went back to WM5.

That said, one reason to use WM6 is that the contacts app can query the DirectPush active directory to get Exchange contact details.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dunkelfalke:
same here. german wm5 is unusable, slow as hell and buggy.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Ogier:
Hi,

I'm using WM6 (LVSW's ROM 2007-05-19) at the moment, mainly because I bought an Imate JasJam (Australian Telstra network) but use it on our "3" network and I didn't want to install the 3 Dopod ROM.

I did remove the Telstra customisations, but then lost Video call.

With LVSW's ROM, I now have video call back - Why do you say you don't have video calls in WM6????

I like to play with devices too!

Benifits so far (48 hours use) no freezes, a little faster, nicer looking & navigation plus there's a few new options but I'm not sure if they are useful to me.

Bad points - less memory storage & everyone at work is asking me about WM6!

:)

Cheers! Oggy.

p.s. look further at video calls - it works for me!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] cktlcmd:
REALLY??? Can you please give us more details as how you manage that? Links are good too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] CWKJ:
WM5? Which AKU you are you talking about?

Here, the official WM5 release is AKU2, which is so slow that you can zZzZz.

For Cooked ROM, WM5 is up to AKU3.5 which is the one I am using, is with Video Call and fast.

WM6 still does not have video call, but there is a beta VideoCall cab which you can try, some works, some doesn't.

WM6 speed compare to WM5 AKU3.5, speed difference is marginal, but both are definitely faster than WM5 AKU1 & WM AKU2. But for WM6 to be slower than WM5, hmmm, how could this possible.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] DJ NETWORX:
german t-mobile wm5 rom is quite unstable and unreliable. Some programs doesn't work at all on t-mobile wm5 roms (like cLaunch - ok, I know stupid example because cLaunch doesn't support vga resolutions at all... but it was the first application that came to my mind :rolleyes: )

I'm satisfied with the functionality of wm6 roms. there is just one thing I don't like about it - how can I change the keyboard layout of an english rom? I would like to have an english rom but with the layout of a german keyboard - any ideas how to do that?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] TehPenguin:

If only there's video call on WM6.. i would stick to it... video calling is quite popular here.. my girlfriend has a 3G fone... so video calling is very important for me. :(

Hehe! Me too.. :D

This is also available for the WM5 (AKU3.3 and later) right?

2. Terminal Services can also do this right? though i don't really use it so I wouldn't know if it's better.

3. Oh yeah.. love that too.. way easier than scrolling through messages...

Maybe you were using an old WM5. You must try WM5 AKU3.5 or WM5 AKU3.5.

We have Universals my friend, we are on the Universal thread. You have a Hermes...

AKU3.3 and 3.5. The older ones are way too slow and crappy. :D

How popular is the Universal in Manila? Just curious... :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] DaVince:
Not very popular. :( Probably not more than 25 people owns a Universal in Manila.. and only 3-4 of them (including me) actually bothers to flash their ROMS since they're too scared.. :(

85% of cellphone users here use Nokia since Nokia devices (particularly the N series) have good 3G support. Most PPC devices seen here would be the Atom, XDA II/i, and Dopod 838 Pro.

3G is very good here.. and the reason I bought a Universal is because during the time I bought this (early 2006), this was the first PPC available that supports video calling... So please somebody make video calling work on WM6.. :beg:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] aniel1:
Guess what. Imate service center in my town is indirectly offering a wm5 upgrade. I went back to the original rom and thought let me just call the service center to ask if they had an upgrade?

They told me yes and its not on the clubimate site and only internally distributed and official.

So I went with my Jasjar to the imate center to get the upgrade.

After it was done and when I checked the specs I was shocked to sight Jwright's last wm5 rom 1.90.96 wwe; radio 1.13.00, protocol 42.47.P8, extn rom 1.95.05 wwe loaded on my device.

Looks like now Imate have got into a practice where their dealers/service centers are stealing cooked roms from xda site an d claiming it as official and providing it to end users.

I wonder Jwright knows about it/. This is becoming a nusiance.

Now my device is back to Jwright's earlier wm5 Aku3.2 version.

My whole time has got wasted. i could have done all that myself .
