Yes indeed, I had mine also for about 6 months now and all the paint is still there, no chipping etc.

And the stylus is firm, slider is a little bit more loose than when it was new (daa, ofcourse it wears ;D)

And I use the keyboard alot.

same here, i had the wizard before the hermes, and quality is much better, also casing is plastic...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TaurusBullba R.I.P.:
Same as everyone else. Mine looks as good as the day I bought it. I think it just all depends on how you take care of it. I suppose if someone threw it around a lot and didn't treat it like the really expensive electronic device that it is, it could probably show it's age fast.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaartenMir:
Hi,

I have a Lumia 925 where my 4G does not work with my sim (phone disconnects). I have a second Lumia 925 (not owned by me) where 4G does work with my sim!

I tried downloading the same (NL) firmware version of the working phone using the nokia support tools and install this on my phone; no success.

Is it possible to make a 1on1 backup of the other (working) phone (firmware) and place this backup on my phone?

Thanks!!

Hi,

You can not create a ROM or FW backup. You can only save the user data of each devices.

Need Reviews for Our New Launcher

Dear friends,

We have developed a new launcher application in context of an Android project.

As we have decided to distribute the second version (which is still beta) through Google Play, we need some feedbacks (esp. technical and UX).

We believe you, XDA Developers, would be great compasses for us through our way to be one of the best launcher.

You can check our latest version by typing "Snapp Launcher" in Google Play search bar.

Thank you and Best regards.

Is there any way to configure universal for microsoft windows sideshow (in vista)?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nvatvani:
Umm ..... you might want to stay off smoking the weed for a while because side-show is targeted for quick access to information which are traditionally attained by booting up the machine.

That said, under which scenario would your Universal be powered down whereby you would still demand access to information inside it.

This is ofcourse one interpretation of your query.

The other interpretation is if the Universal is hooked up to your PC / Laptop which is powered down, hence making the Universal device itself immitate as a side-show device.

The problem with this is that:

1. The SideShow Emulation Software for the Universal (which does not exist) needs to be developed

2. The USB, IR, and Bluetooth hardware of the PC / Laptop are the only interfaces to the Universal and all require the PC / Laptop to be powered up.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kingdomraj:
well in that case go for your second interpretation.. ust to keep you reminded that the new launch ie imate ultimate series due to be launched in Q2/Q3 this year supports this feature (windows side show)

and as far as my knowledge goes sideshow is only functional wen ur pc is on,( may be in sleep mode too)

if you want a link for this piece of information let me know , i ll send it across to you.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Osir1s:
too true. One of the Microsoft developers in a discussion on WM6, mentioned the possiblity of other devices being able to use this feature. Realistically if its possible it would be highly in MS interest to do so. Otherwise at this rate, the sideshow feature is pretty useless given the complete lack of devices out there.....but turn your WM6 device into a sideshow compatible device and you watch the platform take off.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nvatvani:
Well .... is this info not suitable to be posted in this thread? I am sure such information would be beneficial to the masses. I this actually turns out to be true, the USB interface would be the interface of choice between the WM6 device and the PC / Laptop.

That said, I still believe that such a development is useless because of the major flaw side-show has been built on. Yes, I guess I am saying that although side-show is a good idea in general, Microsoft's implementation of it is totally flawed such that side-show is indeed a useless piece of technology.

Here is the reason why:

1. The purpose of Side-Show is to access PC information while the PC is powered-off or in sleep mode. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/sideshow.mspx

2. To access PC information, the OS (or part of it) must be in a runtime state. For any part of the OS to be "alive" - the hardware (Processor, RAM, HDD, I/O Devices like the USB Interface, Network Interface, Bluetooth Interface, IR Interface, Sound Card?? ... etc...) must be "alive" as well. Setting the Network Interface to be alive even when the device is powered down is a simple configuration change in the BIOS. But for the HDD - this is completely impossible with today's technology. For part of the OS to be alive, a flash based device must be at the PC's disposal. This could means SSD Disks or a sizeable on-board (mainboard) FLASH. Intel's Robson component in the new Processors could also work since it is no different from an on-board FLASH. As for the other intrface devices (USB, IR, Bluetooth, etc..) being supplied with power when the whole device is powered down, again - today's mainboards just cannot do it.

3. The nail on the coffin fo SideShow is "POWER" - as in electricity. With so many portable devices sufferring from short lifespans-per-battery-charge, SideShow will drain the lifespan even further. Here is a scenario, you bought the ASUS W5fe laptop - the first one with a SideShow dedicated secondary display. This laptop has a runtime battery life of 3 hours (this is already a highly overestimated figure). With the machine powered down but side-show activated - the laptop's battery still continues to drain. Its power level can be determined directly on the sideshow display, but its drainage is dependant on how you use SideShow.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] nvatvani:
After reading the following reviews:

http://www.trustedreviews.com/notebooks/review/2007/04/25/Asus-W5Fe-Windows-Sideshow-Notebook/p1

http://eng.mobile01.com/newsdetail.php?id=3388

I believe that the USB interface despite being the interface of choice with the Universal, is rather impractical. A Bluetooth interface would instead be the preferred choice, but this seems rather even more impossible as far as the PC's mainboard is concerned. The reviews above have already cited USB issues when the machine is in Sleep Mode and SideShow is active which confirm the mainboard problems I have highlighted in previous posts. Additionally, the reviews refuse to put figures of power consumption and instead simply mention "lower power consumption" repeatedly. I would not be suprised if the lifespan per-battery-charge of the machine is something like 3.5 hours assuming 3 hours is the longest lifespan when the machine is fully powered up. Yes, I am saying that I am expecting the Asus machine to be marginally more "power efficient" under sideshow operation with the machine in sleep-mode, that it becomes irrelevant in the big picture.

One thing for sure is that without massive investment in the SideShow hardware required on the PC - SideShow is totally useless with today's machines already in the market.

I have a delivery for a Dell XPS M1710 machine due next week and this new machine is already incapable of accomodating SideShow.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] AlanJC:
Sideshow will wake the PC up to update info on the device.

If you have a digital photo frame that supports sideshow applets, it's irrelevant if works via wifi, bluetooth, or usb, it will recieve an update from the PC when it wakes up.

I haven't seen any Microsoft documentation to state it manages to do all of this in a sleep mode, it simply wakes up from sleep mode to update, then goes back to sleep.

That said though, I do think it's a bit pointless on a PocketPC device, you already have time, date, photos, weather, calendar & mail, as well as RSS feeds, and that covers nearly all the applets that can run on sidebar, and therefore sideshow.

I'm sure there may be a handful of users here that have a genuine need for something like this that they could not do on the pocketpc itself, but I think most people want it simply because it's an option. I also bet most of those people would get bored of it very quickly once they realise it's easier to just do it on the PPC in the first place.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] poedgirl:
One other major feature of Windows SideShow is the ability to control Windows Media Center remotely. I for one like the idea of using my Universal as a remote for my HTPC, being able to view the TV guide on my device, schedule shows to record and change the music that's currently playing for example.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] bigjezza:
MS Announced at MEDC there will be SideShowPPC

Hey,

MS reckon they are producing a software solution.

Over here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/showpost.aspx?postid=1660169&siteid=1

I kinda hope it works over wifi, or internet, so it can be used on the go. Seems to be a few gadgets popping up now for sideshow, too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] AlanJC:
Urm, not quite, the only thing SideShow adds is the ability to have a screen on the media centre remote, and therefore see things like tv guides on that.

All of the remote control functionality has been around since 2004 since Windows Media Centre came out.

The SideShow would give a display to your remote control, it would not make a display device into a remote control.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] AndyM3:
What did you guys say?

I'm not an expert, but I think this should be put in Off Topic

When I browsed here, I was looking for a way to make my Trinity to act a bit 'SideShowy', not an explanation of what SideShow is! So does someone have a clue that's NOT Off Topic?!?
[XDA Assist] MarcusObilisk:
Good day to all. I'm here resorted to ask about my problem here because I really can't handle it. I been googling for days. I'm ran out of resources from both google and tablet. So, I hope you can help me here. Note I'm going to write this in FULL detail here, so expect this to be a extremely long post. (I been warning you) So here goes....

Anyone uses the brand Ramos?(kind of unpopular brand) I use Ramos W21, it's been using it around 1 year and a half, and it endured a lot of problems, but fixed by researching on online forums and apply various methods there. Now, I think it's finally gave up...

One time, when I opened it and play my usual apps and browsing, it caused the errors " unfortunately

google.process.gapps has stopped", unfortunately browser has stoped",and "unforturnately google play has stopped". Then, I tried to clear data the similar apps in settings as usual, and even disabling them. Then more errors exploded, and "unfortunately launcher has stopped" appears. The menu screen(where the usual wallpaper and shortcut apps are located) turns black, while my running apps are still there running. When I pressed the back key to exit the app, now only tons of errors from the launcher appears endlessly(while the screen is black.

The time I finally turned it off by hard reset it made its way to the main problem: the bootloop.

Okay, here's where the thing gets real. It opens with the usual ramos logo, but the next one is a silver flashing android logo instead of enlarged ramos logo with spinning fire from the letter o(which is NOT my usual boot up screen) When I turned it off, it reopens again up to flashing silver android logo and the cycle repeats, even with pin reset until battery dies out. No recovery mode, so I can't use it to fix this. USB connections can't be recognized when inserted to PC. And no, the tablet is not rooted, and I don't customized anything, no mods, and no fancy roms. Just using a stock rom.

So now what? All I have here is just a sd card slot, which I think there's hope in there. Right now it has two options, deal with it and fix with all of might, or repair it in the nearest repair shop(something that is pretty risky, a lot of fakes and robbers here)

Well, this is the first time I post here, so sorry for anything that goes wrong. Thanks in advance.
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. It sounds like a rouge app has replaced your boot animation. Rather than try to chase that down and try to fix it I'd flash the stock firmware and start all over. Unfortunately there is very little about your device on XDA. So you'll probably have to google that.
[XDA Assist] MarcusObilisk:
Solved!!!

Update: I FINALLY FIXED IT!!! IT WAS A MIRACLE!!! O.O

After I keep on wrecking it's power buttons and volume buttons, I discovered something decisive!

This tablet actually HAS RECOVERY MODE! Again, it has a recovery mode! However, the way how to input it is very unique compared to most devices, including other devices from the same brand!

Now having the power of recovery state, I first selected "wipe data cache". The old large Ramos logo with spinning fire appeared again! But it's still bootlooping. So I went back on recovery state, selected "factory reset" and boom, IT BOOTS LIKE BRAND NEW!!! (sacrificing my old data though)

Okay, I don't want this recovery mode powers to be kept only by me. So I'm going to share it to all Ramos users,especially the model W21, like right now!

1. To do this, you need power button and volume up button.

2. While bootlooping, hold the power button and volume button at the same time and it will turn it off(Then expect it to turn on back up again automatically)

3. When it opens up again to the small Ramos logo(no fire animation), now RELEASE the POWER BUTTON ONLY, and keep holding the volume up button. Note, this is important! If you do anymore than this, it will either black out, go bootlooping once again, or ultimately, nothing.

4. Keep holding the volume up button, then the ramos logo will disappear, and now it will enter to our holy grail, RECOVERY MODE! Congratz!

Now when you finally have a normal working Ramos tablet again, you may go there again by turning it off by "Power Off" (assuming that your tablet is open) then holding the power and volume up(then follow above!)

I hope this will help a ton for Ramos users! :laugh:
[XDA Assist] jd1639:
I'm glad you got it working. :) You should post your solution here, http://xdaforums.com/general/general More people with your device will look there than in the Assist forum. Name the post something like [SOLVED] RAMOS Bootloop Problem
