[Unboxing and First Impressions] tkdsl:
We’re pretty jazzed about the new honor 5X announced yesterday at CES. While technically it’s made by Huawei, it’s not branded as such. We’re excited about it because it’s an unlocked GSM phone with solid midrange specs (shown below) at a pretty unbeatable price point of $199, available for pre-order now from Amazon with an official launch on January 31. It has the proper bands to run on any major GSM network in the USA, and if you consider the competition (we’re looking at you Nexus 5X and OnePlus X), the honor 5X stands up particularly well if you’re comparing specs and price.

The phone itself is made from diamond-polished aluminum, granting it a quality “cool-to-the-touch-metal” feel that is usually reserved for devices that cost two or three times as much. It has a “second-generation” fingerprint sensor on the back (where fingerprint sensors should be, ahem), and it’s powered by the trusty Snapdragon 615 octa-core CPU along with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM with microSD expansion up to 128GB. The screen is 5.5″ at 1080p, and the rear camera shooter does 13MP photos and 1080p videos. Again, this all sounds pretty great for a phone that is just $199. You can grab one in silver, gold, or black. You can see the official honor 5X feature listing on the honor website. Or, you can join in the discussion in our honor 5X forums on XDA. Within our forums, you’ll find a contest thread where we are giving away three honor 5X’s. Check out the contest thread to enter to win one!

Lastly, TK from XDA TV was able to do an unboxing and first impressions video of the honor 5X, which you can see down below.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
OK, so I still have a blue angel, drooling over a kaiser, and my contract with O2 was up last week.

Thinking T-Mobile (for web n walk) but from what I hear the styling isnt as nice as the HTC one, plus my experiences with the O2 version of the XDA IIs ROMs left me a little cold.

So, ideally I want a non-branded Kaiser.

Well, if I take up a contract with T-Mobile, and take no phone, I am losing out, so I thought I would get a phone from them and sell it unused. I was looking and I can get a nokia 6300 for free with the tariff I want and it seems like I could get it unlocked easy enough or do it myself and flog it new, maybe get 100 quid for it? Any suggestions as to whether this would work or if I could shift an unlocked T-Mobile branded nokia 6300 on ebay for a decent rate. Also suggestions as to a better phone to use.

The other question is whether when I hooked the sim-free kaiser up to t-mobile, I would be able to get web n walk and all the other services set up OK. Don't want the T-Mobile front screen etc, just as long as everything works. I would imagine that cooking roms and stuff for it would be much easier as it was a vanilla phone, I am just worried about making the operator-specific settings...

Any other advice welcomed, ie another provider to go with who will subsidise me on the phone and who do an all-you-can-eat bandwidth package for a decent rate.

The only non-flexible bit is that it just *has* to be a kaiser ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] agentp:
i did something similar a few years ago, look on tmob for all the phones you can get for free and the look on ebay's finished auctions search for the phone that seems to sell for the highest amount (it is generally the newest phones). You will still be out of pocket doing this rather than just waiting a few weeks on your current contract until tmob release the kaiser.

you will be able to get web'n'walk sms/mms settings fine, but probably won't be able to access their other services like mobile tv very easily
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
cool, nice to know it can work out.

I think I may have found a better phone to do it with - a sony k800i

There's a few going for over 300 quid at the mo on ebay.

I can get that free with the 15 quid a month contract, that's approaching the price of a kaiser :)

Not really worried about the mobile TV and stuff like that, am a geek, will do it myself - slingbox or mythtv something :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
OK, maybe I was smoking crack before I went to lunch or something, but there were multiple K800is on ebay listed at over 300 quid. I come back, check the link and it ended for 99.

WTF?? Maybe it was in euros or lira or something.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darthbane2k:
Im also going to use this cunning plan!

But I think your best options for a free phone to sell is either the Nokia N95 or the Blackberry Pearl.

Also, ensure T Mobile puts you on a 12 month contract as opposed to a 18 month one.

Agreed that the design of the MDA Vario III looks pants.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
you can't get a free N95 on 12mo contract, and on an 18mo contract, you have to go up to the 45quid a mo contract to get it free - it's 250quid on the 15/mo contract I am going to get. The k800i or similar looks to be the phone that is going for the most on ebay that you can get for free with the 15/mo contract.

Am prolly gonna go with the 18mo contract as it is only actually 30quid more for 6 months more contract and you get more minutes / texts

Plus then I can get the web n walk for 7.50 and am still only paying a total of 22.50 a month
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darthbane2k:
Okay. I talked T Mobile in throwing in a free N95, how much do you think it would sell for on ebay? I have no idea of the worth of these Nokias
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] captainsensible2002:
If its unlocked, probably £250+

Don't get caught though ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Churchill:
Here in the NL you could just go to any telecom shop and get any phone they hold in comination to any subscribtion with any provider. Of course these telecom shops are not affiliated with any particular network and usually the discount you get for the phone are approx 50 euros less then T-Mobile for example but it is worth 50 euros to have an unbranded and unlocket phone...(this what I am doing actually right now via a website)

Of course if you get Branded t-mobile device you get a free Micro SD card with it and the best is the guarantee for the duration of your contract. Plus here in the NL if you need to send it for a repair it goes much quicker then via HTC... T-Mobile send you prestamped & preaddressed envelope (a special one) which you use to send in your device. I haad to use this service on my Vario II when I got allignment issues and I had my phone back fixed after 4 business days. Alternatively you can bring your phone to a t-mobile shop and they even offer you a temporary replacement phone (a junky one) but then it takes longer as it has to go throught their main depot.

I am right now ordering a TyTn II via my resellers website with T-Mobile Flex 40 renewal + PITP the phone costs me including shipment 125 Euros...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
Well I see two on ebay currently bidding at £544 and £655 but I saw phones yesterday going for silly amounts and then went back to a more reasonable amount. Maybe bids are getting rejected or someone is playing around.

What tariff did you have to go on to get one chucked in for free??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
You can do this in the UK, but it seems that T-mobile do not allow this unless the phone is branded or approved or something. Annoying as tmob is the only one doing a flat rate 3G bandwidth package for a reasonable amount (£7.50 pm or £1 a day) I am going to explore this avenue myself, but it seems to me that you can get way more subsidy by getting a whole phone and selling it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darthbane2k:
T Mobile wont permit this in the UK because they like to attach branded phones to their contracts, these days banning services such as MSN messenger (which the Vario III will have disabled by default)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
Is MSN etc blocked on web n walk now? I heard before that it was technically against the terms, but it was possible.

What about other stuff? I would ideally like to set up some kind of media centre at home and have it pull any mp3s / videos etc I like over the net.

What about VPN? Could I maybe VPN to my home and route everything inside a tunnel, thus denying tmob the ability to see what I am transferring?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ateles:
I tried selling a phone a while ago on eBay. From past auctions I was expecting to sell my phone for £200 but at the last minute someone bid £350. The PayPal details said "Kate from Richmond" (an expensive area in London) had bought the phone. It was then that I received an email from someone in Nigeria asking me to send it to Lagos... they promised £50 extra for P&P but it was obviously a scam. They started sending through spoofed PayPal receipts claiming to have paid money into my account (even though my PayPal account said differently) and in the end they got quite aggressive and threatened to report me to eBay.

Just thought I'd warn you :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
OK, that makes sense.

LOL, one of those N95s just finished @ £1131 !

Normal bidding, then silly bids from "Bidder 1", "Bidder 2" etc...

Looks like the 419 business is getting too much heat so the Lads from Lagos have switched to a new tack.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darthbane2k:
I have dealt with these scammers a many a time on ebay. They totally ruin things for all.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darthbane2k:
Its not blocked. Its frowned upon. However T Mobile are now disabling use of it via firmware, hence one of the reasons why the Vario III is being delayed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darthbane2k:
So guys, if I sell a new unopened T Mobile N95 for £250, you think its reasonable? Or could I push for more £££s? That Kaiser isnt cheap!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
To clarify on Web n Walk...

On the normal (£7.50) tariff, only surfing and email is allowed.

On the Web n Walk Plus (£12.50) tariff, everything except VOIP is allowed.

I will probably go with the £7.50 one and if they moan, go on to the £12.50 one ;)

Dunno, might only get £200. Most of the ones over £200 seem to be tampered with...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] damiantmc:
What you might be better of doing is browsing the net and seeing if you can get 1 on a 12 month free contract with a cheepish phone and then the money u save on the contract put with selling the cheaper phone might get u somewhere...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] darthbane2k:
T Mobile dont offer any discount on their Flext Tarriffs if you go without a phone

So i had someone try to get into my phone which locked it up.

i wanted to reset all password but i found the phone was locked . so i did a master reset

after doing this my phone is locked up and asked for my old gmail mail account and pass.

i put the info in and for some reason it willl not work . So im wondering if its possible to reflash with odin to start freash..

im without a phone so help is needed asap .. thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] phiftyopz:
I'm not the best when it comes to reflashing the OS. I don't think that'll work, as it might be a variable that is stored on the system partition, but when you reflash using ODIN, it doesn't touch that. Believe me, Samsung thought of everything when it comes to security. You could try to reset your Google account password and try entering the new password on the phone, but I'm not guaranteeing that will work 100%, unfortunately.

Hope this helps,

I've not seen facebook notifications on my past like 2 or 3 phones. I've never know why. This time around I figured that I'd really try to rising this. None of the above helped. Is there anything left to do? I did root but this problem was there before that.

* Obviously having notifications on in app settings and not having them disabled in account settings - notifications.

* disabled app platform and re-enable it to dump all old apps that may block notifications (in facebook settings).

* cleared all old logins from old devices in facebook security settings.

Nothing helped. I do get birthday notifications and some other stuff like friend requests but NO updates to comments etc. No matter what I do.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You can use something like Airdrop if you got wifi.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
There is no need to use Kies to transfer files. Can you set the USB connection to MTP?

You can also use wifi or data to download gapps from the gapps website. You could also copy the gapps to a micro SD card and put the card in the phone.

Samsung drivers can also be downloaded separately, if that's your concern.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Sideburnt:
Hi

I have a list of my favourite apps that I like to expand and delete from as new apps come out and old ones get replaced.

I have done a search and can find a nice amount of info on cooking a ROM based on an open ROM, such as Gullums. But I dont want to do that really. I'd like to keep my Apps seperate from my OS.

Is there a way of packaging a bunch of CAB files into just the one?

I've done something similar with EXE on my PC, so in theory its possible, oui? non?

cheers all.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Sideburnt:
Well I had a bit of a better dig around in my Lunchbreak.

I've found this program which creates an executable EXE for a PC desktop install for multiple CABS, easy to use too

http://www.windowsgames.co.uk/PocketSetupCreator.html

but I'd still rather have just one CAB file which I can install from my Prophet.

any other Ideas?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] xvx45:
In the program

goto : "builder"

Now click on "add redistribution modules to include". You can select cab, SQL or .net files.

It will include those files to the cab how is created ;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] Sideburnt:
cheers for the reply, but Im unsure what program you mean?, can you let me in on your riddle.

However...

PocketSetup Creator is very very basic.

I've found a better version which creates compressed PPC EXE files but its $60 to knock that one on the head, I dont need this that badly, for those who are interested its called.

pocketpc Installer

http://www.phelios.net/pocketpcinstaller.html

Any other ideas, Gullum how do you do this for your cooked roms, some of your releases had a 2nd install once the ROM had been updated, with a few roms coming down e.g. Gullum Custom CAB ect.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] xvx45:
Sorry, I speak from http://www.aperitto.com/content/view/14/28/ less basic but 29€ (app; 36$US).

Very usefull app, so you can search for cabarc.exe (or enything how is approximtly that) for free and command line cab creator from M$
