[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokinjoe2122:
Hi guys, I've been really interested in going to this phone, based upon price, specs, and OEM (Plus it'll go well with my Moto 360). Right now I have a Zenfone 2, 4 GB RAM model, and I was wondering if you guys think this phone merits the upgrade?

I'm rather sick of Asus, lack of updates, lollipop 5.0 issues, and incompatibilities with the X86 processor, but I don't want to "upgrade" to something that's not worth it.

Anyone make this jump from a Zenfone? Any unbiased thoughts on this?

Thanks,

Joe
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
Before I bought my Moto X Pure I was looking very hard at the Zenfone 2. The Zenfone seems like a lot of phone for the money. However, the reviews point out a lot of the things you flag like buggy Asus interface, lots of bloat, and x86 issues in an ARM world.

I got some hands on time with both of them a few months back, and I couldn't have bought a Zenfone after using the MXP. The MXP just felt a little smoother, and I'm sold on the AOSP look and feel over OEM skins. Stock on the Moto looks just like Slim or other close to AOSP custom roms on my old phone. The thing was really striking though was the screen. Even on its brightest setting the Zenfone just didn't look near as vivid or good as the MXP.

I'm not entirely certain it warrants an upgrade. If I were in your shoes I might consider waiting to see what 2016 brings. However, just doing a side by side comparison I was willing to fork over an extra $150 for 32gb less storage and 1gb less RAM because the MXP just struck me as the better overall package.

That might set back the date for receiving Marshmallow, plus that there are apps I really don't need.

There's a patch to 0.9.19.10 here: http://www.flashtool.net/downloads_windows.php

But the driver should be able to install anyways.

Try the first win7 option and see if you can get drivers installed then :)

Z5c is not in the list, you should just use the "flashmode driver" and "fastboot driver".

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarcis:
BTW, this problem also happened to me with stock everything, no root, no kernel, no nothing (except oem unlock).

Sometimes (not everytime, but a lot of times, so it´s bothering) when I click a media (photo or video) in whatsapp, and I press the back button, whatsapp freezes for about 30 seconds, I can pull the drawer and use the phone normally, but if I try to use whatsapp, it just hangs there and eventually comes back. This started happening with Lollipop and older versions of whatsapp, but it´s still bothering me even after a clean flash and Im now on 6.01 with Elemental X 6.11 on my Nexus 5. I´ve tried diferent default media players but same thing happens. I contact whatsapp and at first they blamed my phone being modified (rooted), but it happened after a clean stock flash also. Please can anyone help me diagnose this?

I saved a video of the problem so you can see what I mean: https://plus.google.com/+TarcísioLopesGFC/posts/2fum2Nd2RY5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
Well judging from your troubleshooting steps, it seems that WhatsApp is at fault. I would say sit tight until they release a bug fixing update.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarcis:
Thank you so much for your attention, but unfortunately I don´t think that´s going to happen.

I sent them an email reporting the bug, but they replied saying they can´t troubleshoot a rooted phone,

I then flashed stock firmware and problem still happened so I reported back and never got an answer.

What I wonder is that I haven't seen anyone else reporting this problem, so it might be something on my end, how can I log what´s going on to try to find out the problem myself?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CalculatedRisk:
I honestly haven't done a lot of debugging and logging, but what you can try is downloading "alogcat" from the play store, running it, going through the actions that replicate the bug from start to finish, then save the log and send it to the developers. If you want you can try looking through the log to see if anything catches your eye, sometimes the logs are very clear about what the problem is.

I sold my "old" Hermes (SoftBank X01HT) and bought a new Kaiser and so far everything seems to work like it should.

On my old Hermes I managed to install both a font and a SIP to be able to view and input Chinese.

Although this did not always worked 100% it was a reasonable solution.

Now I have the UK edition of the Kaiser and I want to be able to input Chinese.

After searching the internet and trying the "old" PlumSIP 5, which I got from a colleague because it supported the keyboard in the Hermes and worked fine. I found out that it does not seem to work on the Kaiser.

Could anyone point me in the right direction to be able to input and output SimplifiedChinese on my Kaiser?

Now I managed to find a font, which I believe is from Windows Vista, for Simplified Chinese and it seems to work although not 100%.

It does manages to display Simplified Chinese in e-mail and the Pocket Internet Explorer but when I copy Chinese from an email to the browser, it messes up the chinese.

Does anyone have a working solution to be able to display and input Simplified Chinese on the Kaiser?

If these is a paid program which does work then I have no problems paying for it.

But so far "Monster Chinese" and "CE-Star" both **** up the device :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Tr1gg3R:
A bit sad to reply to my own post, but none the less....

When using CE-Star V2.8R3A with the included Simplified Chinese base and Pinyin + Handwriting input everything seems to be working fine.

I also have Monster Chinese 6 but have not yet had the time to test it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] LGB:
I installed CE-Star, and I can input, but it all becomes squares, as before.

HOW TO find a font that works, and where to install it? I use the seach function and keep ending up in something too complicated!

Hello,

I got an used galaxy s4 AT&T and it has service problems, I contacted the at&t customer's support and they told me that the phone is not locked to their network.

so i was gonna try to sell my lg g pad 8.3 and so i went to factory reset it through the settings menu. the thing booted to twrp and so i picked factory reset. when i went to boot up after, it said "Secure booting Error! Cause: Device UnLock!, so Boot Success!!" and then boots to twrp. when i try to install a custom rom it says this: see attatched pic

and then just says the secure booting error message and just boots into recovery... any help with fixing this would be greatly appreciated. ps: oh and for some reason it will reboot randomly when performing various operations in recovery...

oh and now it keeps resetting itself. either after a random amount of time, and or while performing various operations of recovery mode.

I have looked all over this forum and there seems to be no obvious fix for louder and better sound quality. I am not a programmer (first day poster) and I am looking to fix these issues: The units speaker for listening to phone calls is not loud enough when there is a lot of road noise. The supplied headset is also not quit loud enough and the sound quality is not quit high enough for listening to music. Are there any cheap - like free - and easy fixes for these problems, and can a newbie like me fix them? Or, should I just learn to be happy with what I have now? Any information would be appreciated.

I may be being totally daft, but I can't seem to find anywhere in the interface that has the supposed TouchFlo features. The contact app seems to be just the regular WM6 one.

Can someone please give me an example of where the TouchFlo features are used on the Kaiser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
It's pretty subtle, if you are in a long document, say contacts, you can touch the screen downward in a sweeping motion and the contacts should scroll down continuously. You should hear clicking like a roulette wheel, slowing down till it stops. (You can disable that sound). This works vertical and horizontal (if there is reason to scroll).

It's pretty subtle. Some have complained that it doesn't work well with IE and have loaded Opera-Mini to get that functionality to work better. I've tried both and they seem to work OK for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jamijam:
It's not very well implemented.

This is the difference between actually creating something useful and adding a feature just to have it on a checklist ("can scroll using flick like iphone") !
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Odie85:
Thanks for the replies, I finally get it. It's pretty lame as-is, I really hope someone will manage to extend the functionality in a custom rom in the future.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ionutz6:
It is not that lame, in my opinion. actually, it is rather more useful than the whole cube-thing implemented on the Touch. ie, if your in the car and try to get to a certain contact or scroll a word doc, it is a lot easier to just touch the screen with your finger rather than use the stylus to scroll using the scroll bars.

i like this feature and i dont consider it as a just-to-be-there feature.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] zetajunkie:
imagine a piece of paper that you could only see though a small hole (screensize). if you pressed your finger down on the paper, and slide it toward you (down), the text on that paper would appear to scroll up, and vice versa...

TouchFlo=Iphone WannaBe Marketing Trick

Someone else said earlier and they were dead on: all these top of the line pocket pc /cell phone makers got blind sided by Apple's touch screen, which basically makes the Iphone.

So a smart alec at HTC said "let's whip out a touch flo phone, out comes the HTC Touch, and now let's plaster touch technology everywhere on each model as a marketing gimmick to keep up with the Jones' "

I mean 1 million Iphones sold since June 29th as of today...what choice did they have?

The reslut: Touch Flo technology a la cheap, not using the right screen (Iphone screens cost up the wazoo and are made by Balda of Germany) and is basically no different than the D pad...so NO, HTC phones do not have ANY touch tech. yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] bchau:
Well if you are driving, you shouldn't be using your phone, either with stylus or finger. ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ionutz6:
For me it is. especially if it is in internet explorer, where the scroll wheel jumps from link to link, while the touchflo scrolls pages. i know we can modify the scroll wheel behaviour to scroll pages as well, but as it came from the factory this is the behaviour.

plus, if u are driving, it is easier to just touch the display once rather than keep your finger pressed on the d-button or on the wheel.

I see no keyboard alternative for it. Only expand all/collapse all.

Internet Explorer Navigation

The default behaviour for your device's four-way direction button in Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) is to jump between hyperlinks/form fields on a web page. To change this behaviour so that the button scrolls the page left, right, up and down, use the following tweak:

\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 0 (DWORD decimal)

And to re-enable hyperlink/form field navigation:

\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1 (DWORD decimal)

NB: You may still jump between links using Tab and Shift-Tab if your device has a built-in hardware keyboard.

I recently got a Navmav Spin 100 which is actually the Navman 4400 receiver plus SmartST software. I seem to be able to pair successfully but I can not get tomtom 6 to talk to it, it just doesn't see the device ("no GPS device"). I have tried the SmartST software but can't install it as I need to transfer it over to mini-sd and it insists on checking the original sd card which I obviously can't plug in.

Anyone ever got this Navman 4400 to connect to an O2 XDS Mini-S or similar? I have flashed to WM6 but I don't think that should be a problem as I tried it on a friend's Vario unflashed and had the same problems.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] calouro:
Did you try the GPS manager? The GPS needs to be on a COMM port, or example I set mine to Comm 6. GPS manager will then allow you to set a different comm for other programs to use it. For example, I set that comm to 7, so the GPS device is actually using 6, but the software is connecting to it via GPS manager on 7. You should already have GPS manager if your running WM6. It should be somewhere in your systems menus.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] gz5ztg:
yes I did try that and I have tried various combinations, e.g. hardware on COM 7 and program on COM 9, it doesn't seem to make much difference. On one setup with hardware on COM 7 and getting tomtom to connect to a generic GPS bluetooth adapter on COM 7, bypassing the GPS manager it looks like the spinny circle turns 1/4 and swaps between no gps device and no gps signal.

In this scenario the blue flash LED stops flashing twice quickly onto a slower single flash, I think this means it is conencted?? it only does this for a short period of time though before going back to the double flashing.
