[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeopardy:
Curious. Well, the specs are falling behind pretty fast, and I think the big mobile giants had just released a new devices around that time. (S6 or the Edge, whatever it was called)

The cancellation of North America's launch migth actually move the release date of Yotaphone 3 closer than it was planned before, because now they don't need to get rid of those North America specific Yotaphones and wait for the market to settle and be ready for new iteration. Hopefully they can compete with the other flagship phones feature and valuewise.
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] adamo86:
If the specs where higher I think the price was good but the price for yotaphone 2 was too high just for an epd. What amazed me was the lack of development.
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeopardy:
Agreed. The development of 3rd party apps was greatly hindered because they released the SDK so late in the device's life cycle - and it's still in beta! The documentation is terrible, if not non-exsistent, and there are very few examples and/or tutorials. I practically had to tear the existing applications apart to get an idea how to do basic things. Also, I still haven't been able to get the emulator to work, so you basically NEED to have an actual device to develop anything. So it really isn't that developer friendly at the moment.

When it comes to 1st party apps, I think they have been quite alright. There is still room for improvement, but as of the latest updates I am ok with the current state. Most likely their development team has been working on bringing the support for Lollipop, so that has taken majority of their time.
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] ridgemagnet:
Love the V2 phone a lot but too much wrong with it. I am an e-ink enthusiast and I think the display on this phone is fine... there is always a tradeoff between 'cleanliness' and speed... see this vid I made for the Nook https://vimeo.com/67164582 - and really if you want an outdoor phone, this is the only one on the market!

My wishlist

1) Actually have the battery life work as promised. My old Samsung Note does as well and it doesn't have an EPD or any fancy energy saving modes. The Y2 seems to last a couple of days on standby in Lollipop, not impressive.

2) Manage the heat properly in the phone, so it doesn't get excessively hot: that's a sign that (1) above isn't working properly - if your processor is working overtime when just reading stuff you have a problem

3) Make the case openable, so you can replace the battery, otherwise you're doomed to binning the phone after a 18 months- 2 years, and values of secondhand phones will(and are) reflecting that.

4 )Get the software written somewhere where things like QA, unit testing,documentation etc are culturally acceptable. Better to do these things well and deliver small but robust functionality. Okay, it won't sell a stack of phones but at least your service/support lines won't be jammed... and you never know, some of the folks on this forum (and me) might write some software for it!

5) Put a reasonable camera on the phone, unless you like all your shots looking like they are done in the Mosow subway...

6) Hardware buttons on the 'front' of the phone to do things like home, back etc. Makes better use of that lovely display(which is good imho)

7) Sell it with a bumper to protect the phone or make it more robust.

8) Allow you to remove the ABBYY spyware service (a dictionary that needs to know my contacts???) without rooting.

I might get another one but they seem prone to bomb out and get unrecoverable.. it is a big gamble...

It would seem that Yota is teaming up with ZTE for YotaPhone 3: http://www.androidauthority.com/yotaphone-3-zte-yota-642364/

Interesting to see what this means in practice. ZTE at least has the volume in production Yota has been severely lacking.
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] MCManuelLP:
My whishlist:

I know it is probably unlikely but it would be cool if it was running Android Marshmallow (One step further towards impossible would be CyanogenMod)... Sooo, I don't know the restrictions to this but I know that the Pebble Time has a color e-paper display, if it's possible to upscale that to the bigger screen, it would be the best. Otherwise please either include a SD-Card slot or at least more internal storage than the YP2. I'm not that into much camera stuff but it wouldn't hurt either... And if anyhow possible, do include NFC, please... And as a final 'request:' add capacitive buttons, I'd be switching from a OnePlus One and just the choice is really great. With all this please do keep the price moderate.

Thanks.

TL;DR:

-Android Marshmallow (possibly CyanogenMod)

-SD-Card slot

-more internal storage

-NFC

-capacitive buttons

-maybe camera improvements

-always on E-Paper color rear display

-decent price?
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] euroclie:
On my wishlist, there would of course be many point already mentioned by other posters, but here's the top features I'm currently missing on my Yotaphone 2, and that I'd like to see in the Yotaphone 3:

1) First and foremost, a backlight for the EPD screen. I mean, my 100 Euros e-ink reader (Kobo Aura) features a user-selectable (on/off, and brightness level) backlight on its b&w e-ink display, and even when keeping the backlight always on at the minimum setting, I still get a month worth of battery life on a singe charge. Don't get me wrong, the EPD, is wonderfull in daylight, when there sunshine, etc. But right now, I find myself using my Kobo reader half the time because I can keep on reading in the dark, when my wife's asleep.

2) Already mentionned, but I do happen to own a Pebble Time smartwatch with a color e-ink screen, and I'd definitely love to see this technology in the EPD on the Yotaphone 3.

3) Third party software. As stated above, due to the limitations of the EPD (lack of backlight) I still find myself using my Kobo reader, and the lack of EPD-enabled Kobo-compatible e-reader application makes it a PITA to keep my ebook in sync between the two devices. Sure, I could use the Kobo reader on the Yotaphone, but the application is terrible and doesn't suport the EPD.

4) A dictionary that do work. Heck, I even went as far as spending a couple of bucks on additional dictionaries for Abby on the Yotaphone, but it seems that the more dictionaries I add, the less definitions it finds when I lookup an english word in my ebooks... :(

5) Hardware button, LED notifications, removable battery are definitely on my list, but only after a memory expansion slot (microSD), as 32Gb is definitely too small to hold a decent amount of audio/video.

6) I vote in favor of the better camera, but I'd particularly would appreciate a bigger framerate allowing slow motion videos like on the iPhone/iPod. My kids and wife can produce some great slow-motion videos on their Apple devices, and I can't. Life's not fair... :o)
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jeopardy:
What do you think of Pebble's color screen in practice? My understanding was that it is basically just a low-power LCD screen, so not a "true" e-ink screen. Does it work well in sunlight? Does it suffer from ghosting like Yota's EPD? Does it go blank when the battery runs out or keep the last image?
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] euroclie:
I'm really happy with the Pebble Time's color display.

Sure enough, the colors/brightness are far, far from an Apple Watch, say, or my previous smartwatch (Moto 360). But in sunlight the screen is wonderfully easy to read. In poor lighting conditions (indoor, night, whatever....) you do need the backlight, though, but initially I had the motion detection enabled to have the screen automatically backlit when moving my arm to read time, but I found out that most of the time it wasn't needed, and was using power, so now I just press a button (back button) when I need the backlight, and regardless of motion detection the battery life is impressive.

No ghosting at all, unlike the EPD on the Yotaphone, and I didn't completely drain the Pebble battery so I can't be 100% sure that the last image stays on the display in that case.

Based on LACK of development of apps / widgets for the e-ink display i won't even be looking at any news about it never mind buying one !!! really disappointed with yota should have been released in usa
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ainuwolf:
They tried with the indiegogo approach, it didn't outcome well. They could insert the HSPA. Here on Brazil they got the LTE network right, but they didn't move yet.

It's a small company and I hope it gets bigger. They try to sell advances in cellphone tecnology, since most of the others big names on the market just update hardware and software, with no thinking outside the box like before.

I just think the prices are too high. Got myself a second hand one (yet yotaphone 1), really amazing device. I need lots of reading, so this device is just great to me.

I hope yota3 comes to USA and other countries.

Best wishes!
[YotaPhone 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Parmo100:
Good luck finding a Chinese manufacturer that listens to the needs of existing customers. But at least they will produce a phone with a competitive price.

Wish list? I agree with others' lists, to keep up the radical reputation will require a large colour EPD.

Flashed

Thanks for putting this together! So far this has been very smooth and lag free. Just one question? I noticed you flashed this ROM and then went back and flashed stock kernel? So I'm questioning why? I myself was wondering if I should go back to using elemental x for marshmallow. I was running with stock ROM for root and SuperSU purposes. Not asking for you to tell me what kernel to use, just why go back to stock kernel?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fhem:
The rom was built w/ permissive kernel to make sure there were no issues w/ root and setting up gapps. If you want to use an enforcing kernel you can flash one after completing your initial set up. The stock kernel I went back to was the one Chainfire patched to enforce selinux. The issue of root and selinux are still a WIP -- pick a kernel that works for you but be aware of your security exposure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cidlover:
So, I flashed the GT-I9100's zimage on my S959G and now my boot image says "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" and the yellow triangle of warranty voiding and I would like the stock SGH-S959G zImage if there is one for download. I think the zimage change is the cause of the charge mode white lines instead of actual battery percentage.

I have flashed the following in Odin3 for my phone:

SGH-s959G_TWRP-v2.7.1.0.tar.md5

SGH-S959G_CWM-v6.0.4.5.tar.md5

SGH-S959G_CWM-v6.0.4.4.tar.md5

But only to see if I could fix the battery percentage issue in charge mode

If anyone has the stock zImage for the SGH-S959G for download for Odin flashing, I will be happy

Thanks.

Guys, how long does it take to load \Windows directory for you? For me it used to take about 4-5 seconds, which was fine, but now it's taking over 30 seconds! Regardless if I use File Explorer or GSFinder+. I did a little test, and checked time to load it on 'clean' ROM (just after flashing) - was quick. Then I installed touch-style comm mgr and dialer, and also 5-tab Home plugin - practically nothing else above that. After that it's again taking more than half a minute to open. Obviously one of the applications causes that huge delay. :(

Does anyone experience similar trouble, and have an idea how to tackle it without actually uninstalling things mentioned above?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DTheTank:
I had a similar problem with the Black Majik ROM. 4-5 second delay in listing the Windows directory with a clean ROM. I found that installing the video dialer caused the problem where listing the Windows directory took 30 seconds. I repeated this a few times to make sure that it was the video dialer and not any other software I'd installed.

It's wasn't just a problem listing the Windows directory for me though. The whole WM6 OS had slowed right down.

I'm not having this problem with Sleuth's ROM though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hanmin:
it is a known problem. the problem with those 'software' that you've installed, is that they have tons of files within the \Windows dir, and hence the slow loading. Unless changes are made to avoid having files within the \Windows dir, I dont think you can do anything much about it. For me, I usually try to avoid \Windows dir when going into any sub dir, by typing the sub dir name before \windows.

Anyway, if you haven't already noticed, in some WM6 ROM, actually you can see that, having a lot of stuff in \Windows actually slow the booting process too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] basilrsa:
Hello eva_d,

I have the same problem. Mine takes 20s.

I run on as you can see from my signature I run on Sleuth's ROM. This was very quick untill I added the HTC Home plugin and the HTC Comm. manager.(both the Kaizer versions)

It's definately the amount of links these programms add, especially the Today plugin.

My cold bootup time also has increased, but fortunately my system is very stable and I never have to reboot at all.

I think it's a choice that has to be made - speed or the extra luxuries.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eva_d:
Thanks for that input, I'll do some tests later on to try figure out what exactly is causing it. I'm also thinking about Home plugin - it's very useful, but it's also quite a big, and heavy cow... ;)

Even with the dialer you mention above?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DTheTank:
Well Sleuth's ROM already has the video dialer so I don't need to add it as an extra.

Basilrsa mentions the home plugin above. Black Majik has this but Sleuth's does not. Maybe it's a combination of having the video dialer + the Home plugin.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eva_d:
But you mean the very latest touch-kaiser-style video dialer, or the 'old' one?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DTheTank:
The old one. Black Majik has a 2g voice only dialer and Sleuth's has the regular HTC video and voice dialer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] deadeyed:
same case here. I'm on black majik & everything fine until I tried the 5-tab HTC Home. all operation slowed down(bootup, /window etc..). Once I removed the 5-tab Home, all things back to normal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] eva_d:
This is strange - after uninstalling Home plugin, Comm Mgr and Dialer, loading \Windows still takes a huge amount of time. :( I guess I'd need to make a HR in order to carry out proper tests, so I'll just give up...

Hi all. I need your help. My Nexus 5 suddenly began rebooting and not turning on. I made my homeworks an I found out it's the power button stuck in (not phisically, phisically is fine, it must be the inner switch or something). I tried smacking it on the side to unblock it (aka the Fonzie solution) but it didn't work, also tried massaging it, and it's no good. I tried to move the inner thing with a magnet and after various long minutes of rage and precision work I managed to make it boot for a couple of minutes, it didn't even fiinish optimizing apps, it was flat on the table, nothing touched it. I already wrote google for an RMA, but how can I recover my data without opening it? Is there a way to disable the 10 seconds force reboot behavior, or to disable the power button totally? I don't care about the phone, I just want to recover my data without loosing warranty.

[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
Under some conditions, the LG camera app will take a picture, but not actually save it, if you exit the app too quickly after taking the picture.

If you take a picture using the flash in either Simple or Auto mode, and exit the Camera app (hitting Back) before the thumbnail in the lower-right corner updates to show the picture you just took, then the picture will not actually be saved at all.

I noticed this issue a few days ago, and was able to confirm it last night. With help from a user on another forum, we helped narrow down the conditions where this happens. I have Verizon, he has Sprint, we both have Camera app version 4.52.34.4. I reproduced the problem even if saving to the phone's internal memory, rather than my SD card.

If using Auto mode, for instance, and the flash is not used, then you immediately try to exit, the app will pause, giving a "Saving" message. And the picture will still be saved. But if the flash does fire, then it will let you exit the app immediately, and the picture will not be saved, if you exit before the gallery thumbnail updates. Simple mode will also let you exit without actually saving, if the flash fires.

In Manual mode, this apparent bug does not seem to apply. It saves correctly whether the flash fires or not, even if you immediately try to exit.

This is the thread I made exploring this over on AC:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g4/561112-picture-not-saving-when-exiting-camera-app-immediately-after-taking-picture.html

Something to be aware of, as it could cause a lost picture, especially if taking it quickly then going back to something else.
