Hi All,

I'm looking at 4 pdas atm, that i'm gonna use as my entertainment hub/phone.

After reading the 13 pages or so, i've decided the g900 has become one of the 4.

The others are the o2 Flame, Eten X500+ and the dopod d810.

Anyone got any opinions on the battery life of the G900?

I've heard the Flame is shocking (6 hours),

while the X500+ is slow due to the vga screen

and that the dopod looks cheap cuz of its plastics.

And the G900 is bigger than the other 3 pdas. Will it fit my jeans pocket :eek: ?

Whats your guy's opinions?

Cheers

Andrew

I definitely concur... got the Universal solely because of it's 640x480 res but in the end, because of it's size, I went back to QVGA (Hermes/Tytn) purely because of size. Did miss the high res but frankly to have a device the size of the Universal to act as a primary communications device is not the best way to go about things (IMHO). Universal loses for me because of size... but then again, Universal doesn't have any strange Tosh design issues... :)

Battery life

I find battery life on the G900 most definitely lags behind the Hermes/Tytn. Not sure what's the cause of the drain, but battery for me definitely needs charging daily whereas my Vario II (Hermes/Tytn) can actually last 2-3 days without charge if I'm careful.

G900 Crashes...

I find that every time the G900 crashes the battery would get really hot... I wonder what it's doing? Anyone have the same symptoms? I also find that it's crashing less these days since I've arrived in Tokyo...

I disagree about the monitor. I got mine and at first I thought oh god the display is very very dim compared to my P3300 which I could not see OK on a bright sunny day. Later when I was playing with the phone I found that you can control the brightness of the screen - something I could not in my P3300. And the deafault velue of the brightness was set at 50%. So really when I got the G900 it was pretty bad. Then turned the brightness to 100% and the display shined more than my P3300. I could clearly see all the detailes on my display even on bright sunny day.
[General Topics] tubeme:
You have to charge the battery for at least 3-5 cycles from 0-100% until it reaches its full potential.

There are not too many people using the unit for more than a couple of weeks. Because they just released it. I got mine 3 days ago, so I managed just 1 full recharge. Also don't forget that TyTn uses significantly less power. Even so the G900 will work for 2,3 days without regarge. Ussualy it turns off the back light of the display and if you don't use it extensively for browsing, editing etc. it will be OK.
[General Topics] tubeme:
Please XDA create G900 Section. A lot of people will love dedicated space for G900 here. I use a lot from the registry hacks from XDA to set my G900 and they work. They are rather WM6 hacks, platform independant. And also there are a lot of other hacks we should exchange here.

For example I installed the SPB Mobile Shell and the Now screen did not work, it was just black screen. I went to SPB site and found the guys from SPB made special version for the G900 so it is unbelievable now. You can see a lot more with the 800x480 on the Now Screen. Especialy the Proffesional Now screen from Mobile Shell 1.5

Thanks
[General Topics] dajtw:
I'm most surprised you can say the visibility on the G900 is good! :) Personally, I find it a major flaw and unfortunately because it's hardware related, no amount of software can fix it. All pocket pcs I've own has had the screen brightness adjustable and I do agree that if I was to set the brightness to maximum in bright sunlight I can very very barely make out something but hardly comparable to a transreflective screen as found on the Hermes/Tytn/VarioII. Trust me, if you've used a transflective screen and seen it's true properties in daylight, it's very hard to accept anything else.

An interesting note: G900 is a Toshiba mobile, most probably made in Japan. I currently have a Japanese Toshiba mobile (911T by Softbank) and despite it's high res, it too is not transreflective so I can forget about reading anything on screen in bright sunlight (and bright it is in Tokyo). My wife's japanese mobile is also not transreflective (hers is lower res too) and my other Japanese mobile, 708SC by softbank of Samsung brand) also seems to be not transreflective. This might be a Japanese trait...

Take your G900 out on a bright sunny day (not in shade) and you'll see the issues with the G900 screen... :(
[General Topics] gogol:
Just a quick question, that might not be related to G900 but related to the screen.

Do you know if the old HTC Magician uses the same screen like G900 or transreflective?

Because I just want to compare it with my old HTC Magician to know how it is like transreflective or non-transreflective.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
The Magician uses a pretty bad screen - it's transflective, but with cvery little reflection. This is why it's barely visible outdoors.

reboot, crap battery meter replaced with clock, ive been running my g900 for 30hrs now and not a glitch, its so much more responsive aswell! Now its starting to behave like expected
[General Topics] dajtw:
I agree, patch works to some extent though it's still not as stable as my Hermes; I know Pocket PCs tend to crash but I found this to be more with the older generation, newer generation like my Hermes/VarioII hardly ever crashes. The G900 with the patch crashes less often but still does dies in it's sleep so I don't think the patch is perfect; this has been mentioned on alternative forums. Might look into abandoning this thing for one of those Sharp W-Zero things instead. Whatta sad end... no wonder moderators don't want to set up a G900 section, at this rate, G900 is going down the drain faster than we can blink! :(

wm6 pb, not a device problem.

Anyway the g900 sod is just reproduced by me (in one case), just read this topic :

http://myg900.com/index.php?showtopic=236

Why criticising this device ? It's a wm6 problem, earliers versions of it have the sod, recent version with new wm6 have not.

A section on this forum would help users cook themselves a rom, in my case I still wait for it to be created on xda.
[General Topics] tubeme:
Ok you are right about the brightness. I use it primary in offices and closed space so I find it OK. The browsing though is perfect with this resolution and most of the 3rd part. software developers allready made fixes to most of their software for the g900. Some software is surrial with this res.
[General Topics] Tariqmc:
Hi, I've had my G900 for a couple of months or so now. I moved from my XDA Exec because it was just too big. I've been on HTC since the original XDA.

Basically use it for reading books (MobiPocket worked fine), listening to music, phone, contacts and calendar.

I upgraded to Mobile Shell and it works very well (dropped SPB Plus).

PocketInformant wasn’t working very well so dropped that and went with WM6 defaults (may go back to PI).

My main holiday app worked fine (Roberts Multimedia Birds of Southern Africa). Great on this screen. Having problems with Sasol eWildlife and Kingdon eGuide to African Mamals. Does anyone else use these apps?

Recently took it to Italy and bought a pre-paid card to use google maps and live maps as GPS. This worked well except got through silly amounts of money (I was meant to get a deal of 15hrs for 15 euros but don’t think it worked). Going to try and get a decent sim for South Africa next.

I have a 2gb mini sd card but am looking to get a 4gb (non SDHC), ordered one off the net but it was DOA.

The screen is fantastic (poor outside, but I find it usable). Browsing full web sites with opera in landscape is great.

I have had the hangs but they have quietened down a bit now (I found that holding the on/off switch for about 4 seconds brought it back to life sometimes).

Good speed and good responsiveness. For me getting close to a perfect PDA Phone (mine would be an iPhone which would accept 3rd party apps especially my wildlife apps, I don’t think I would miss the keyboard terribly).

Previous machines:

XDA

XDA II

XDA Exec

PS I would like a G900 forum as well, don't want to leave xda if I can help it.

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadManMoon:
I received the 5.1 OTA on my XT1095 yesterday. I unrooted (always had stock recovery), accepted the OTA, and everything was fine. Tried to re-install root, and nothing would load upon boot-up - every app would appear as not responding. I downloaded the 5.0 factory image via the Motorola website and flashed, but could not flash gpt.bin or motoboot.img (downgrade failed). Flashed everything else, got the bootloader unlocked warning and the stock Motorola boot logo...then nothing. Black screen. I can reboot into bootloader, but not recovery or anything else. I used the fastboot.exe included in the Motorola factory image file.

Am I doomed here? I can't think of anything else to try. Will I have to wait until Motorola makes the 5.1 factory image available for the XT1095?

Any thoughts you guys have would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any solution to calibrate the touchscreen ? I'd be thankful for any useful help.

I am thinking of purchasing a long (10 ft) charging cable, in particular the Anker 10ft nylon braided micro USB. Do these long cables in general or this one in particular slow down the rate of my charge? I just bought an Anker 18w wall charger and the cord it came with slows down the charge, but when I used the cable that came with my phone it charges a lot faster. So will the same issue occur here? I am not going to buy this for the fastest charging speeds, but it would be nice if it would at least be as fast as the original cable, if not faster.

In your photo it is off. What should I do ?
[G 2014 General] :
Looking at the screenshots, I would guess your are canadian or french, if it is the latter then let me point out that the stock ROM contains the EAP-SIM authentication method for WI-FI networks which are widely used in France. It essentially allows you to connect to your carriers WI-FI hotspots without manually entering a username and password (they are stored and communicated by the SIM card). This feature is present on NO AOSP/CM based ROM and only on stock based ROMs, it is an extremely usefull feature that made me stay on stock (even thought I regularly test other ROMs only temporarly) and let me tell you Stock based ROMs fly with super fast animations, and when you install a cutsom Kernel I would go as far as saying that they are the fastest ROMs out there
[G 2014 General] Rafahzn:
Should these work on titan prime?,even it being stock it has some drastic RAM improvements for exemple =p
[G 2014 General] Myujinn:
It's actually a feature that I miss of Stock. EAP-SIM authentification for Free Mobile users is really useful. I've a second SIM card for unlimited data though so it's fine. I said Stock was bad because it runs off 5.0.2. If they update it to 5.1.1_r5, i'll gladly go back to stock. 5.0.2 was just a buggy, messy version overall that tried to fix Lollipop RAM issues without having real improvement.

I turned them off because I didn't see the point of a "blackscreen issue". For gaming mode, it uses more battery so I turned it off.

Titan Prime is based on stock 5.0.2. It should work but as I said, stock is on 5.0.2 so your results are going to be worse than mine.

You should try to do it when stock and Titan Prime updates to 5.1.1_r5.

Otherwise, I still recommend AOSP ROMs.

The steps:

Go to Dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)

Press "view" then enter APN Settings

For both "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" change APN Type from "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun"

After you enter the change, hit Menu -> Save before going to the next APN.

And that's it. That easy. It works for both Hotspot and USB tethering. Seems too easy, but that's all I had to do. work wifi and bluetooth

You need MSL code to add dun to apn settings

AFAIK, getting to the Edit screen of the ##DATA## settings triggers the MSL code dialog. emanuelrv is saying to click "View." When I do that on Sprint Galaxy S5, the settings are greyed out. You can't change.

If you call Sprint and tell the support person you need the MSL code because you are thinking of switching phones and using that one on another carrier. (There are other reasons you would need the MSL, but this is one likely safe one.) If the first support person gives you a problem, say "Thanks anyways," call back and try another rep.

Once you get MSL code, choose "Edit" and do as original post said. Add "dun"
