Mornin,

Everytime try to Activesync my HTC Titan I get the following error.

"Synchronization cannotbe completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If problem persists" blah blah blah.

So I haven't changed any settings on my computer nor my phone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled activesync and nutin. The phone doesn't generate an error and it displays as Connected but can't and wont sync.

In a nice twist...it has no issue playing nicely with my HTC Wizard (no SIM even).

Should I just call Sprint...or are they just gonna tell me to hard reset like I really don't want to do (but probably should) as...I can't activesync or backup...

Anyone else gotten this error?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] AJerman:
Are you trying to sync using USB? If so, try going into Settings->Connections->USB to PC, and uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality".
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ldubin:
Thanks. I should have been more specific. Yes this is a sync via USB. I have uncheck that box the day I got my phone. I've never had any phone work while that stupid box is check and I almost always forget about it. Anyway, the phone had been syncing for about the month or more before it rebelled. I did not intall anything new during the time in which it stopped work either.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] AJerman:
Hmm... Not to suggest the simplest ideas if you've already done it, but have you tried removing the relationship in windows and deleting every trace of that computer, as well as on the phone, then rebuilding it? I tried to plug my phone into my home computer to backup all my contacts and stuff and it wouldn't work until I removed the device and re-added it (I think because I had had a hard reset since the last time I synced, so it didn't know it).
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ldubin:
I have deleted the relationship on the computer, and reinstalled Activesync. I haven't deleted the relationship on the phone, I wasn't aware one existed that could be deleted.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] AJerman:
It might not, haha, I wasn't actually sure. Let me double check on mine...

Edit: Yeah, if you click your Comm Manager, then ActiveSync, it should show last updated dates on all the computers/exchange servers, etc. Click Menu->Options, then click on the computers you want to remove (you might want to try removing them all just to be safe, you can re-add later of course), then click Delete.

I don't know what additional functionality this has over just deleting the relationship on the computer, but it's worth a try at least.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ninkrote:
I just had the same problem. I deleted the relationships from the PDA and PC then reconnected. Everything seems to be working fine. Ironic that this happened to us around the same time...hope it's not virus related.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
This poll is for a smartwatch that is to be put into production and not the watches you see in the image. So even if you have no interest in another smartwatch, feedback is key.

AMOLED- Better color saturation, deeper blacks, faster refresh rates, harder to read in direct sunlight, much higher battery usage under well lit conditions, display burn in.

Transflective- Less color saturation, slightly lower resolution, slower refresh rates, backlight only needed in low light conditions to be readable, lower battery usage due to minimal need for backlight.

Image 1- Reference image

Image 2- "Cheap" Chinese 240x240 Transflective (6% brightness) vs Samsung 320x320 AMOLED (33% brightness)

Image 3- Transflective (backlight off) in light 1/4 that of your typical office vs AMOLED using about the same amount of power.

Image 4- Direct sunlight Transflective (0% brightness) vs Samsung AMOLED (100% brightness)

Image 5- Prototype transflective (backlight off) in complete darkness. AMOLED simply cannot do this.
[Other SmartWatches] Apokriphos:
If I was predicting which model of watch would be more popular for this user-base, I would suggest Transflective.

If looking at typical Western world consumer I also think Transflective.

Assumptions:

Predicted market for your watch is XDA readers.

Common criticism of current gen. android wear and apple watch is battery life.

Comparable in cost, or Transflective being cheaper.

Ability to make circular screen and thin as possible (popular with high end watch market - I assume you aim for that) is equal between types.

More efficient by wattage to do always on display.

Pros:

Transflective screen would make the battery more efficient. Less usage on screen can mean more features, or slimmer. Both increase sex appeal of product.

Much easier to see in Sunlight during outdoor activities - which is the market for many perspective smartwatch owners looking at activity tracking

(I am comparing the Transflective screen of the Inwatch Z to my Samsung S4 Amoled).

Cons:

Transflective screen is currently only in market under select Chinese brands and ignored by mainstream smartwatch media - so you have an uphill battle for recognition.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
The current fad is "AMOLED or it sucks". This is based on no direct comparatives, marketing, little to no knowledge. What most ignore is that a transflective gets better battery life and be made readable in complete darkness without the use of a backlight at all. The attached image is of a prototype transflective in a completely dark room with no backlight on at all. This is something that AMOLED simply cannot do.

No, xda is not the primary target market and transflectives cost less than AMOLED.

Actually, under moderate to bright lighting a transflective needs close to no power at all to be readable. Unless you are displaying only a couple pixels, an AMOLED can't claim that. So in lighting conditions that we find ourselves in most of the time, a transflective can approximately double or triple battery life.

As far as the "uphill battle"- Better battery life than any AMOLED smartwatch, readable in every lighting condition, readable in complete darkness without a backlight. And once the case design changes have been made, water resistance rating better than any Wear watch ever made. All it cost is having a less color saturation/contrast.

So, pretty display (+crappy battery life and readability), or not as pretty (+good battery life and readability). Or to put it another way, what's the point of having a smartwatch that you can't see or kills your battery just so you can read it.
[Other SmartWatches] gerhardo:
Transflective is used in Sony Smartwatch 3 and in some Garmin watches (at least 920xt, fenix, epix).

I got tired of finding a smartwatch for training and got a 920xt. Quite happy with the functionality. Basic watch and notification, but that works quite well.

When backlight is off, they do not look good, but that is when amoled do not work at all.

The Sony look quite OK, better resolution.

So I would not look for anything else than a transflective display.

Hmm ok...im on lease with phone so after 2 years i can get a new phone...so will trippong knox hurt me??
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaggettBeaver:
Why do you care about tripping Knox? It doesn't do anything unless your phone is managed. Knox is good for companies that manage your phone so you can isolate company usage from personal usage. Otherwise it just sits there and does nothing. The only reason Knox complains when you root your phone is that it's no longer secure for being managed.

If you're ever in a situation where your company wants to manage your phone, just re-flash unrooted stock, and Knox will work again.

Technically, you're breaking your contract by flashing your phone, but as far as I know, nobody ever checks that at trade-in time.

[Windows 10 Mobile] cylent:
I am really getting a run around with this and literally getting nowhere.

i have a lumia 930 which should be sufficient for doing what everyone else is achieving.

i have enrolled in the windows insider. i installed windows insider and opted for the "fast" option.

It then installed windows 10 on my phone and all looks good.

I then went to "for developers" and enabled "developer mode" and enabled device discovery.

I used the program wconnect;

C:\Users\xav\Downloads\wphone\APKDeployment>wconnect usb
Creating session...

Please enter the pin for the device to be paired and connected: N2d7G4
There was a problem booting the Astoria platform on the Windows device. Error co
de = 14

It shows on the phone 1 device paired so its doing that part ok.

am i missing the developer extras package?

I feel that maybe it. which probably has the android development stuff.

if i goto check for updates it says i am up to date.

Please help!

nevermind. saw that they pulled astario out of the build i have.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] obsydian:
After the shocking scratch gate of the clear view cover I went commando but find the handset so damn slippery and hard to grip without touching the edge of the screen.

Tried the Spigen hybrid case, nice but bulky.

Then tried the Samsung back cover, love it, makes the gold handset actually look gold and easy to hold with a nice tactile feel.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] optimummind01:
That's my favorite & daily case right now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] Alestilohomer:
How about fingerprints, dust and "scratches" with the Samsung Clear Cover?

I bought a Ringke Slim, and love the design and how it feels in hand, but I returned it because the firgerprints... it have marks all day...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Accessories] obsydian:
You can't escape fingerprints if you want a clear look. Must admit if like me you find this irritating then clean the handset well and the case before otherwise you'll see both.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
I noticed with both my Nexus 6 and my LG G4 (and I think the old Nexus 5, as well) that if you turn the phone so the screen is horizontal and wear polarized glasses, the screen appears completely dark. Can someone with the 5X please throw some polarized glasses on, turn the phone sideways and let us know if you can see the screen or not?

It may sound silly but if the above is an issue, it is an absolute deal breaker for me since I always use my phone horizontally for navigation while it's in my car.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pudgewack:
Curious to the answer to this as well. My Sony Z3 acts the same way, so I use navigation in portrait mode.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredFS456:
Well, it's an LCD screen, so there's bound to be some orientation where the screen's dark if you have polarized sunglasses on. I'll check for you when I get my phone in a day or two.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Yeah, I learned to use my nexus 5 in portrait while navigating. It's not so bad once you're used to it.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
That's what I was afraid of. Looking forward to your update.

Can't do it. Horizontally, these phones fit perfectly in a little cubby, right in front of the shifter. If I tried to use the phone in portrait mode I'd have to pick it up and hold it rather than utilizing the cubby to keep the phone at a perfect angle for viewing for navigation and music.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toninorini:
Can confirm. Polarized glasses turn the screen black while in landscape mode. Just got my 5x today.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbrinkley:
ditch the x5 because you'd rather not have ten dollar sunglasses for driving?

the reason I find this funny is that there are bmw and porsche boards with this same discussion. No Mister salesman, I don't want the heads up display, I just can't see it with my P ray bans on. lol.

I'm not trying to be a ****, I think it's funny, and of course, everyone needs a hobby.

carry on brother.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredFS456:
Horizontal, the phone is dark when using polarized sunglasses. Buy one of those universal phone holders to hold your phone near your steering wheel in a vertical position.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnusualSuspect:
I had this same question the other day. My phone arrives tomorrow and was really hoping it wouldn't be an issue. Grrrr.

And no, I don't wear cheap drug store polarized sunglasses. They're good quality frames with my progressive bifocal prescription. Cost several hundred Yankee greenbacks.

Your day is coming, youngster. 8^)
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntrix:
Love it! I was drawn into this thread. My oneplus one is the same exact way, sideways with glasses on trying to take a pic... nope, the screen glass is polarized so it's black, too. :(
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FredFS456:
It's not that the screen glass is polarized - it's just how LCD screens work. All light they output is polarized. Unless you get an AMOLED screen (my past phone, the Galaxy Nexus, had one) then your phone will always be dark in landscape when you have polarized sunglasses on.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntrix:
Interesting, never thought LCD vs AMOLED. I'm glad I ordered the 6P then. Good note to stay away from LCD, cause I swear by polarized sunglasses. Thanks for the tip! :good::good:
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloimplant:
AMOLED isn't perfect with this either. There may be differences between implementations but my galaxy S4 is dim with weird angle-dependent rainbow shimmering from ALL angles when wearing my beloved polarized sunglasses, distracting to the extent that I would often take them off when using my phone for more than a minute.

Coming from that I'm actually stoked that my 5X looks perfect in portrait mode because that's the way I use it most of the time when out and about.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntrix:
Woah, I thought it was just all the mushrooms I did in college that made me see that faint rainbow thing on the S4. Woah man! Wait, it might that you did certain things in college that you haven't disclosed too! :cool::cool:
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZPrimed:
Different glasses are polarized differently. A good glasses/lens shop will be able to customize the angle on your polarization to help eliminate problems if you are having them.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnusualSuspect:
Fired up the GNex last nite, and yes the screen is fine while wearing my sunglasses. If I'd have known I might have given more consideration to the 6P.

But ... nope. Can't hang with a phablet.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weisguy:
A tempered-glass screen protector will scatter the polarization so that the phone can be used from any angle.

Hi there,

I've just posted an article on my blog about Alternative Input Methods for Windows Mobile.

This is no spam, and might be useful for first comers. Actually, I would have loved to see this post somewhere before (with captures and links), instead of having "search for xxxx" or "it's on the forum" as an answer.

I hope it will help someone to choose a decent Input Method!

The list consists of:

- PocketCM Keyboard

- HTC PhonePad

- Happy Tapping Keyboard

- Fingertouch by Teksoft

- SPB Full Screen Keyboard

- TenGO and TenGO Thumb
