Most of the Chinese who used 1.43 have no problem,

Only a little of people have problem,

I don't think it caused by the Chinese WM6 OS,

I guess the network is chief criminal,

These is a dramatic case in my city,

I can't receive any calls in my house,

But some people can receive calls in the differet district.

Jygar,

Just completed upgrade to radio 1.43 (after HardSPL) and it took less that 8 mins from ROM flash start to device having completed the post upgrade restart with new radio - very impressed :D at how easy it was and how fast. Thank you to all those that have worked hard to help us all to do such upgrades.

What do you mean by your phone being a little off? Mine so far is OK - are you able to rule out other causes or do you really think this radio ROM update caused some general OS problem?

I was on the basic UK T-Mobile radio 1.05.05.0 and although the signal (bars) seem no different here I have noticed that the phone is louder! I can now hear clearly where it was slightly quiet before. The extra loudness, perhaps not surprisingly, is accompanied by a slight background hiss - but it does not detract and I welcome the higher earpiece volume.

I'll report back on performance but I've checked texts, phone, surfing, Google map and LiveSearch and all work OK. I am running the standard UK T-Mobile WM5 build on a Herm 300 (IPL 1.04 & SPL 2.10 Olipro).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] marttin:
Hi AikonCN,

My experience tells me that it is not radio issue but the software you are using. I use to have the same problems on black shadow and custel's ultimate. Not 100% sure, but suspect that in my case it came form the Chinese localization software -- CE-Stars, Monsters and etc.

After stop to play with any designed for customizing Chinese software, but manually including Chinese fonts, no more problems at all.

Cheers

Wow, i was gonna install monsterchinese to my 8525, now i think i should put it on hold for awhile. :D But i do need something to read chinese emails.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] AikonCN:
I've never used CE-Stars, only heard of it,

I installed QS ROM which based on Balck 3.x edition and was made by a powerful guy:)

It's very popular in China,

All UI language is simplified Chinese,

QS 8.3 is a stable OS,

There is no other call management software installed on my hermes,

I don't think that issue was caused by OS or any software,

I guess there is something wrong with the network of China mobile,

The signal is very weak and my hermes often search network when I use 1.43,

I can call other guys but the line is very bad,

Other guys will heard:"The number you dialed is out of service"when they call me, but my hermes has 2 bars signal at same time,

If I use 1.41, all issues disappeared,

Why?

Maybe 1.43 is not compatible with China mible network(some areas),

that's my final conclusion.

PS:Nobody reported that issue in Bei Jing.

No GSM after 1.43 Radio upgrade

Hi, I placed this message first in Hard SPL thread, but probably this is more appropriate place.

Anyway, after successfully running Cingular 8525 factory upgrade to WM5 2.15, Radio 1.40.30.00 I decided to upgrade radio to 1.43.00 (8525 reception was much worse than of any other phones around, so I decided to give it a try).

First, I installed Hard-SPL 2.10 and then ran 1.43 Radio-only upgrade using CustomRUU 4.3. Bootloader was showing IPL-1.04, SPL 2.10 Oli.

Upgrade showed successfull end, but after restart it only goes now through initial splash with "no GSM" sign and does not load OS.

Started bootloader - same IPL-1.04, SPL 2.10 Oli.

I tried to read my data through mtty.exe, but instead of USB>.. I am getting Cmd>.

Tried to flash again with radio-only.nbh, but every time I'm getting no communication error (Active sink USB mode is disabled)

Anybody here seeing any chance of recovering? I will greatly appreciate any help!

Radio 1.43.00 failed upgrade - finally made it to work

Hi, everybody,

It took me 25 tries and 10 crashes, but finally it works.

I tried to reflash radio directrly from SD card - did not work, switched to different computer that did not crash on me every other time - communications got restored, used ROM from another source, just in case, recreated NBH file again and realized what was my possible original mistake -

I used HERM200 instead of HERM100 as a device name.

Assessment - voice radio is no better, no worse than 1.40.30.00. 3G I did not check.

After all this debacle have very weird problem - phone ringing sound at maximum volume level became hardly noticeable. All other sounds through speakerphone are the same as before, i.e. splash, MP3 player, loudspeaker. Only ringing volume dropped tens times. Anybody have a clue, could it have been radio messing up with OS registry (WM5) when it originally crashed? Where should I look to correct it?

Thanks to everybody who tried to help me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Prerna:
You could try re-installing the ROM one more time on top (in case you haven't already tried).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] mikar7020:
After half a day of pretty heavy usage and several soft resets along the way problem dissapeared by itself /no explanation/.

Again, thanks everybody for involvement.

- quite a few missed calls - I'm not even getting missed call notification, even though the coverage is there, from time to time phone looses GSM connectivity - never happens with ordinary phones in the same area...

- USSD codes not working (nothing from the page http://www.sim-sim.ua/eng/sim_ussd_services.php - same story as with 1.41.0.30 though). I'm on m way to downgrade to 1.38.0.30...

or used the search function of this forum. Since you're a fellow Canadian, I'll give you a freebie.

SD memory cards that are 4 gb+ are made of a new technology called "SDHC"

You need a special driver for the phone to use SDHC cards.

Download the SDHC.cab file here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=338035

I assume you know how to install *.cab files since you had a PocketPC before the TyTN.

As for Gmail, you can simply setup your phone's messenger software to use the POP or IMAP mail settings of Gmail. The settings are similar to setting up Outlook on a desktop/laptop PC.

If you want to install the gmail application, you need a java midlet software to allow you to run java applications.

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:
Hello all.

I don't think anyone has asked this before, so here it is.

Is there a way to disable long-press to change watch face? When I happen to cross my arms, it tends to hit the watchface and registers a long press and goes to the face selection screen. It is pretty annoying as it vibrates and there is a tendency that my face will get changed.

I rather just have the ability to change watch faces via the settings, but would very much like the long-press disabled.

Thanks for reading.

No. Theatre mode disables the display.

It should be possible to keep the display on but disable changing watch faces. At least this way.

Thanks. That's pretty close. However, I would not like to lock the screen altogether. Normal tasks like viewing and swiping cards is fine. It's just the long tap on the face that I need to disable. I'm thinking the watch face itself needs to be amended. I'll probably ask around the WatchMaker G+ forums as I'm using it's face.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimSmith94:
I'm not a developer, but it looks to me like that just disables touch to wake, which is what you asked for. It doesn't affect swiping at all.
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasK:

Hello,

i've got an G Watch R (Rooted with an G Watch Urbane port running).

I used Advanced Settings for AndroidWear to disable WakeOnTouch, that works pretty well.

but sometimes it seems that i perfom a long-press on the watch and trigger the "change watchface screen".

Are there any News, how this feature could be deactivated? (to change watchfaces there is also an entry in the settings-menu).

[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OfficerJimLahey:
Same problem here.

Was out shovelling snow today and I could feel my wrist vibrating to change the watch face every minute. Must have been wearing something conductive. Tried theatre mode in hopes to outwit it, it skipped passed the three taps almost immediately. As a result, the battery must have dipped 20 to 30% (or more) in that hour alone because nine hours from being on charge it's down to 50%.

I use an LG G Watch (original), so no crown to make the hack above worthwhile (unless I never want to interact with the watch again ;))

This happens when I bike ride as well. At any rate, any ideas (other than keeping the watch in my pocket) would be helpful (not too concerned about the battery drain effect, just the constant watch face change).

Thanks. :cowboy:

I have a problem with my LG G2, it got bricked yesterday. I was playing some game and suddenly it turned off and keep restarting on LG logo. After couple tries with powering off and on it turned on, I wasn't at home so I could not do the backup. After an hour bootloop started again, today after >30 tries it turned on but unluckily I was at the gym at that moment, after 30 minutes bootlooping started all over. I tried over couple hundred times but to turn it on and do the backup but no luck.

I am able to get into download mode but I dont think it's the full one, when plugging into computer it maked couple hardrives saying they need formatting

LG is detected as qhsusb_bulk in device manager.

I am able to get into factory settings but I don't have CWM. My device is not rooted. Probably it doesn't have usb debugging on.

Oh and theres one strange thing, I cannot turn the phone off (during bootloop) when it's plugged into charger, if I hold power button a red led blinks 8 times.

Is there any chance I could backup my data or fix it without erasing? It's very important because there are over 3 thousand photos.

Call customer service from your phone with 611 and tell them your story. Chances are they will put a note on your account to give you a 50 dollar credit if the store charges you. If that does happen all you have to do is call them again and your next bill will be credited.

I was told going from 32 to 64 will have the 50$ restock. Even with the sale this weekend. And is tmo giving away the 32gb free? Would I then just not have to pay the monthly fee for it?
