[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Doom Tints:
Since there will be official WM6 ROMs for the 8525/Hermes, I don't see any reason to get the Kaiser. The extra memory in the Kaiser would be nice but is not essential. The camera -- how many of us use the camera for anything serious? No one. The sloping keyboard is more of a gimmick than anything since the keyboard is too small to type on as one does a normal keyboard, so it would never get used. And unless the GPS comes with software that speaks when giving driving directions, it's not worth anything.

The life cycle for most phones is anywhere from 9-15 months. For WM PocketPC phones, you can essentially double or triple that. I think you'd all be surprised at the number of WM2003 PDA phones still out there.

So unless you were one of the first ones to get the Hermes, you're probably not itching to move on yet, and you won't have to. Some of us always want the latest technology and really that's all the Kaiser is geared for at this point. The rest of us can wait two years -- or some other later time after our current phones have worn out -- and then move on. :)

Also, as far as the poll in this topic goes, there's quite a bit of real estate between "I'll sell my Hermes for almost nothing" and "I'm going to keep it forever", isn't there? I'm sure none of us intend to keep their current phones forever, whatever their phone may be....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] trojanvision:
If the price is right, as in under $500 with contract, I'd happily upgrade. I am up for an upgrade with AT&T right now anyways.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] y2whisper:
for me its between that and the 7150 one factor naturally will be the price difference. I will probably be selling mine for $350 (if I am getting the kaiser, as it will include my BT-338)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] toyfreak:
I've got a new AT&T 8525 coming today (to replace my 6-month old Cingular 8525 which just developed stylus retention problems.) I do not know if it is a refurb or new-in-box but it should not matter as the refurbished units are indistinguishable from new.

I plan on keeping my Hermes for awhile for the following reasons, in order of importance:

1. The Hermes platform is being fully exploited here at xda-developers (cooked ROMS, HardSPL, etc...) which should extend the device's useful lifespan. Hell, look what the geniuses on this site have done for older HTC devices long since forgotten by HTC or the wireless carriers.

2. I'm going to let the dust settle on the Kaiser's introduction so any ititial quality problems can be sorted out. The TyTn and its variants had lots of quality problems right out of the gate.

3. The most important thing the Kaiser has on the Hermes (for me, personally) is the in-built GPS and I have a BT GPS anyway.

4. My wife would be really pissed-off if I spent another $500-800 on a phone. (Notice this is #4 though... ;))

I'm sure I'll upgrade at some point, just not the minute the Kaiser drops and maybe not the Kaiser at all. HTC, are you listening? WHERE'S THE OMNI? Or just a scaled up Kaiser with a bigger screen?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Dopefish:
I love my Hermes/TyTN/8525 (whatever you prefer to call it), it'd be hard for me to get rid of it unless the Kaiser offers insubstantial functionality over the TyTN.

So perks I've noticed so far are:

-Built-in GPS (This sells me right there!)

-3MP cam

-Updated software (better dailer, connman, etc)

-Faster proc (by how much?)

Any other features that are above and beyond the TyTN? Is it a replacement for the TyTN or another product alongside it like many of HTC's other phones?

The Touch looks nice but I love having my slide out keyboard and overall versatility of the TyTn.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Madcap180:
yeah, the Kaiser has an outstanding graphics processor.

Hi, thank you so much for all this Akashami. I'm very thankful, I really appreciate your help!

However, as I said I'm still new to this, I'm stuck in step 7. Where should I put the firmware? And I still didn't understand what to do and how to open command promt using the shif and right click. Could you please send me a picture for the 7th step.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClarnTV:
Another question where is the ADB Folder?

I've installed all the drivers, and I have download the firmware. Should I just open CMD.exe and type adb devices?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClarnTV:
It says :

loading "rom.zip"

* Cannot read "rom.zip *

And yes I have renamed it to rom.

Yet another reason to dump Samsung or VzW. What a shame.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doctor-cool:
unreal there has got to be a way to flash back to stock are they will be sued for bricking your phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] drewcam888:
How could they be sued for bricking the phone?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
I think it's possible, seeing as how jailbreaking was ruled legal by the courts.

But, there's no reason to believe that they hard brick the phone for trying to root it. That would be a seriously different tactic than anything we've seen in the past, and it doesn't make any sense to do anyway. Flashing back is almost certainly possible.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] jal3223:
I guess I'm officially done with Samsung then. Anything after the Note 4 is dead to me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] k1ng617:
I'd blame Verizon and ATT not samsung.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] cpufrost:
Where does it say you cannot recover?

I've softbricked phones countless times.

As long as you can boot into program mode, run ODIN and flash a stock rom when available you should be able to fix this.

Now if it prevents you from booting program and recovery modes by deleting the partitions or making them unavailable, yes that is F up!

Usually when companies brag about something touting terms like "bulletproof" and "rootless", exploits are found sooner than later and the execs are scrambling like a bunch of shy Great Danes with their tails between their legs. :laugh:

Goood work bro

Please can you port this rom to work on Galaxy S3 Neo i9300i
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] t-shock:
Correct me if I'm wrong but you had problems with the porting, right? And this rom looks ALMOST identical like my rom. You also stole my words!!! eg ROM Firmware Required: Custom Recovery Installed & Brain!
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] labello29:
if I may be so with all due respect I've tried everything to Roma and I can say that this is a good base, a little heavy .. other Roma lack any character white while writing can not see what you are writing, another important detail recent applications are finally well designed and not resized hope you all facades a good job
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] maxx35000:
[MENTION=6796285]Abdelrahman. Elhwary[/MENTION]

first thing you ask me to port my rom and i didn't respond you !! the problem is i give the right to t-shock

secon you're lying this is not 4.4.4 A5 rom but 4.4.2 7105 rom (original work by me only )

and like my friend [MENTION=4350960]t-shock[/MENTION] say i give him the right to port my rom so there's no need to an other

so please remove this thread quickly

or there is another solution

ask to [MENTION=4350960]t-shock[/MENTION] to give you the right to use the port rom and continue the work on it

also change the name to Evo-A5 and add [MENTION=4350960]t-shock[/MENTION] in Contributors
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] labello29:
I think it has been stolen it is fair to ask first, but not to abandon projects like this and other work together with your work
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] batlyn:
Im also not informed that my themes will be included on the rom...:o but thanks for giving the credits ;)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] maxx35000:
guy's i think better way to find peaceful solution

so i didn't say [MENTION=6796285]Abdelrahman. Elhwary[/MENTION] stole my work or other thing

but there is some problem here i give to [MENTION=4350960]t-shock[/MENTION] the right to port my rom "Evo-A5" to s3 neo device and work on it to fix some issue .

he stoped to add update (2.0 and i am to 2.3)

so better way is as say before to [MENTION=4350960]t-shock[/MENTION] accept to give the right to [MENTION=6796285]Abdelrahman. Elhwary[/MENTION] to continue the work on Evo-A5 port for s3 neo

and also no say wrong thing like 4.4.4 A5 rom don't forget it is 4.4.2 7105 rom named Evo-A5

that's all ;)

---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

hi man you've done a great job so i give a direct link on my thread to your's ;)
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] t-shock:
I could continue to develop EVO-A5 but for the i9300i which I recently bought. I don't own i9301 though anymore. I already informed the moderators for the whole situation. To be exact, I'm already trying to port evo-a5 2.3 to i9300i and I want to see if everything will work just fine
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] maxx35000:
ok my friend no problem for me ;)

i also request to [MENTION=4478812]ApriliaM3[/MENTION] to look on this thread
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] labello29:
but gt i9300 has already a lot of development behind it, I noticed that very few s3neo with all apps useless as sfinde reminder etc. off consumption of RAM and very high as ever 300 mb free have a little short because facebook is heavy. advice to add icon to kill the memory ui
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Abdelrahman. Elhwary:
[MENTION=4438591]maxx35000[/MENTION] Iam sorry for that but i work hard on this port so i shard it on xda ... [MENTION=4350960]t-shock[/MENTION] I am sorry for this i dont know this thing about this but your are my best developer on s3 Neo froum you are the first developer to Make Custom rom .. So that was it bother you that I will remove it immediately ... Whether [MENTION=4438591]maxx35000[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4350960]t-shock[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] maxx35000:
i am sorry for this but you take Evo-A5 (not an A5 port rom but hightly moded 7105 l rom from me to grand 2 thread , you know i spend a lot of hours on it ) and just change lib's and wallpapers and change the name to S-Mix A5 port for S3 Neo plus GT-I9301I

i think is not correct , right?

here is a winmerge from my Evo-A5 2.2 and your rom

View attachment 3447096
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] t-shock:
for me it would be ideal for this to end up right here, eg it should be closed-deleted
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] Abdelrahman. Elhwary:
[MENTION=4438591]maxx35000[/MENTION] ok man i will rename it to s-mix Evo style ok or not ..... i hope you give me your perrmation for porting your Rom :D
[Galaxy S3 Neo Android Development] t-shock:
Me and [MENTION=4438591]maxx35000[/MENTION] have already talked about it and we decided that I will continue my project and I will add support for the i9300i dual sim also. So there is no need for this rom to exist.

PS. This thread should be immediately locked up

[Huawei MediaPad X2] aniym:
Hey guys,

I think most of us outside China/HK are importing the X2 from eBay sellers or Chinese e-commerce shops like Aliexpress, Gizok, Ainol-Novo etc. I'm trying to figure out which sellers you've had a good experience with buying, in terms of getting the product on time, in good conditions, and properly set up with the Google Play App store and configured with English (or your native language) as the default language.

I wanted to ask where you guys are buying from, as I prefer to buy from reputed retailers with clear policies on returns and support, but these things are pretty murky when you're importing from a China/HK-based seller.

I'm in Canada, so when I buy, I'll need to consider both the reliability of the seller plus customs fees, so I'd like to hear from you guys before I make my decision.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] letschky:
Hi,i bought it at,Honormi

Great Service shipping in 1 Day from China to Austria

Aliexpress - Shenzhen CTS Technology Co., Ltd. - Got it to me in 10 day in the usa DHL Shipping. Google play was installed and working good, still had china apps on it but I don't anyone of them will take those off. When you install google play get it from the huawei app and you will have any problems and update the rest of the google apps from there. Trust me
[Huawei MediaPad X2] aniym:
Did you have to pay customs fees in the US? I have considered getting it shipped to the US and having a friend bring it over to Canada.

Which carrier are you on? Are youbgetting 4G or HSDPA speeds? I've heard of US users having issues with SMS, but maybe those have been fixed with firmware updates.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
No customs, I'm on ATT. This is what I get, H, H+, 3G,2G. I get no 4g or 4g lte. Awesome signal though. I have had no issues with SMS or mms.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I bought mine off eBay from zomlong-trading. I had it within a week. They shipped it DHL and it had the Play Store and Google Services preinstalled. Somehow, it arrived with an already unlocked bootloader. My buddy just bought a Mediapad M2 from Gizok. I'll post back when his arrives.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
I should have went with that for a few extra bucks. Unlocked bootloader is the winner for me. Out the box ready to mod.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] goon-heaven:
I'm interested in buying a X2 or M2. I would be very interested in your comparison between them. I have read the hype, but being metal cased, does the M2 suffer from worse connectivity in poor reception areas?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
He ordered his when Gizok had them in stock and hasn't received it yet. They said it was out of stock but when he placed his order it said it was in stock. So he is giving them another week to get it in Stock and if not he said hes placing the order on ebay. The metal casing doesn't interfere with the signal at all. If you plan on using it as a phone get the X2. The M2 is way bigger and wont fit in your pocket at all. The M2 is good if you just want a tablet and don't care about having a phone. Personally I'd go for the X2.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Flavio:
Does the MediaPad M2 have a phone function as well?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] goon-heaven:
I want a one device does all when travelling and I got a big pocket. Mainly sat-nav (with traffic via internet), occasional in-cab phone (via blue-tooth hands-free) and tablet/phone when I'm resting.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Benjiro:
The M2 is more a pure tablet. 8", bigger in size and also has less big battery ( 4500mah ). No phone calling capability ( only LTE etc ).

The X2 is more functional and fits more the tablet/phone profile. The M2 is pure and simple a tablet.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] goon-heaven:
I read conflicting information regarding the M2 phone calling capability.

The Huawei M2 User Guide details how "selected models" make phone calls.

I would only be interested in phone-calling M2 "selected models".

I agree X2 is less ambiguous in that respect.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Flavio:
I am pretty sure the LTE version of the M2 has a phone function. The confusion comes from the fact that the M2 is also available in a WiFi only version.

I just made a mockup of the M2 in plywood to judge how it feels in the hand compared to the X2 and it is actually pretty good.

I am using a Sony SBH52 Bluetooth handset when I use the X2 as a phone and I can do the same with the M2. I think the extra screen real estate will make a real difference in useability.

The slighty smaller battery will not make a difference I think.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Benjiro:
Are you sure about the size? http://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Huawei-MediaPad-M2,Huawei-MediaPad-X2/phones/9531,9277

Its a massive difference between the two... Also the weight sees a big increase.

The m2 is really a tablet, not a phone/tablet. I also see no mention about phone capability on the LTE version. You can have phone capability is if you some 3th party solution, like Skype + fixed number. But that is a bit of a detour.

Battery... it will have a effect. Sure, its only 200mAh less, but its also powering now a 8" screen. So all in all, you get a bigger tablet, with less battery power. All that for just 1" more... To me, the m2 just serves a different market.

Edit: I just tried the X2 vs M2 in hand holding using a quick mock up ( using the phonearea comparison ) and while i have big hands, the extra size on the m2 makes it impossible to hold it in one hand ( for me ).
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
Like Benjiro said, here is the difference in size between the two. I'd get the X2 unless you're looking for just a tablet for around the house.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Flavio:
There are several videos on YouTube that show the M2 with a Dialer/Phone App on the homescreen. Also the LTE version has two SIM slots and I have never seen a tablet with two SIM slots just for data.

The point I am making is that I use the X2 more as a tablet than a phone and then the M2 makes more sense.

I have used an iPad Mini in the past as my main tablet and the M2 actually has a larger screen and is smaller in width so is darke to hold in your hand.

With the X2 I still tend to get my iPad Air 2 for certain tasks and I think the M2 can be my one and only device.

[Huawei MediaPad X2] wpennhokie:
Why did you have to point that out? I guess the 16GB model will be going on eBay. :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Canadianomar:
We are all getting the same dumb responses, but I don't understand how they get all these good reviews of people that purchased the phone from them, cant be fake I don't think.

I wonder if I should pay that $600 and get it off ebay instead of dealing with all this, I mean I purchased stuff from China via eBay with DHL and FedEx and get it in few days, why should it be any different just because its on Aliexpress.
