ActiveSync problem

I upgraded to WM6 ROM on my 8525. I ran into syncing problem. It synced fine for a few times then problem started. It connected but couldn't sync. It was just syncing forever. Sometimes rebooting computer and device worked, sometimes did not work. I had to delete the partnership for the sync to work again. But then sync problem came back again after a few tries.

Has anyone else had the same problem? any advise? thanks

I installed VP3G's latest ROM last night, and everything worked smoothly. However, today I ran across an annoying issue. I am not sure if this issue is from VP3G's ROM or anything else causing it. So let me give you a lowdown...

Device: AT&T 8525

ROM Version: Vp3G 3.62.3

Repro Steps:

1) Go to Compose a new email message and type into the message body

2) From the slider keyboard, hit the blue-key to insert symbols in the message (the symbols are represented on the keyboard with blue characters on top of the alphabets. Example, alphabet 'F' has a blue-key '?'. So if you active the blue-key button and press 'F', the symbol '?' should be inserted.)

3) Active the blue key and hit 'F'. Instead of '?', I see '-' (hyphen) inserted into my message! This happens with a few other keys too ('~' inserts '!', etc).

Does this repro with anyone else too? Can someone suggest me a way to fix this?

Thanks!

Answered this in your other post. You really shouldn't double post it makes it hard for folks to help you and could be considered spaming.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] JETninja:
I bet it's this:

if u haven't already, then make sure "enable advanced network functionality" is unchecked on device.

You can find that Fubar setting by going to Settings/Connections/USB to PC

For some reason WM6 has it enabled...I was pulling hair out trying to sync. Hard reset device, dumped AS and reinstalled many times...etc...then found that answer in the Hermes forum. Viola! Works great now...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] binhlswan:
It was already unchecked. So it is not this.

This AT&T official WM6 ROM with the 1.40.30.00 Radio works flawlessly!

Finally we have a working solution for MS Push!

Now to deploy to 28x 8525s. Joy...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DaddyGoFast:
What about this ROM with Black Berry Connect. Does anyone have it working with the Official Release by ATT? I am holding back to my ROM 1.34 because 2.15 does not have it. I am hoping this one has it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DaddyGoFast:
Bump!

Is anyone running BlackBerry Connect with this new ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Squuiid:
Is anyone else who is a heavy Microsoft Exchange Push email user using this ROM?

How are you getting on, any issues?

As mentioned above, after downgrading the radio to 1.40.30.00, this is absolutely flawless. I can't truly believe that I have gotten the 8525 to work so well by doing this. Finally content!

Please let me know your MS Push experiences.

Thanks

I went back to 1.47.00.10 as it's been the best compromise of signal and battery here in So FLA. Battery drains like a seive for me and mine with the 1.54
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Squuiid:
As an FYI, I tested 1.47.00.10 and it experienced the exact same issue 1.54 has with MS Push. Problem was less frequent, but certainly there.

1.40.30.00 is the only radio that runs without fail that I have found.

Battery life seems good too.

I've been flashing new roms to my hermes for a while. (vp3g now) My external speaker is acting up and randomly not working so I'm warrantying it while i can. However, when I go to update this, my device turns off when it gets to the flashing screen and the prog on my computer says it's lost connection.

Is it my SPL? What are the requirements? I'm pretty sure I'm using Hard SPL 2.1.

TIA
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] Jostian:
So since the firmware updates are not 'flashable' yet via TWRP, am I right in assuming that one can only update one's firmware if one goes back to stock?? I know this will change but trying to understand the current options for flashing/installing firmware updates for the P9Plus (rooted), thanks
[Huawei P9 Plus Questions & Answers] itongx:
just flash original recovery over twrp than update as normal, then flash twrp/root after that.

hello guys ...i am trying to install/update on stock kitkat rom on my htc vivid currently having stock gingerbread...

1. i have tried using PH39IMG.zip (stock at&t rom) by copying it in sdcard...update goes smooth and installation is successful...but later when i reboot the mobile, it gets stuck on white screen which green htc logo

2. then i tried updating it using htc sync and stock at&t RUU...it gives the error 132:signature problem

3. tried installing rom via twrp and cwm recoveries ...installation is smooth without any problem but the result is same that when i reboot the mobile, it gets stuck on white screen which green htc logo

4. i also tried to restore backup via cwm recovery ...again the result is when i reboot the mobile, it gets stuck on white screen which green htc logo...

my boot loader is unlocked when i tried PH39IMG.zip, CWM and TWRP recoveries for stock rom (relocked it when required for RUU).....but S lock is ON.....do i need to have S-OFF for all this ??
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jjred1977:
I have a similar problem. I have an unlocked bootloader, S-on, an NO OS. The phone has an old version of TWRP on it that won't allow me to flash an image. The OS is gone because I removed it trying to remove a software bug in the factory OS. I'm used to flashing Samsung/ LG phones using ODIN and never had an issue just reflashing a stock ROM.

I'm just looking for a way to get the stock rom back on the phone with or without retaining the stock recovery.

[BlackBerry Priv] BlindDroid:
I bought the Priv when it first came out and quickly returned it because it couldn't do something I absolutely needed... so I went back to my Samsung device.

Now with 6.0.1 out there, I wanted to know...

Can anyone confirm if you can link a key press to the Invert Color quick setting?

I am visually impaired and need a quick way to Invert Colors with a hardware button. I know the Invert Colors function is available from the Notification menu - this doesn't work for me as it's not quick enough and requires the user to see the screen to trigger the function. If I can map it to a key press like I do on Samsung devices, I'll go back to the Priv in a heartbeat.

Thanks in advance for your help!
[BlackBerry Priv] BlindDroid:
Hey guys :) I know it's a pain, but can anyone please check this out for me? I really don't want to have to buy a Priv just to see if this will work for me again.

I just need to confirm that you can long-press a key on the QWERTY keyboard and associate it with the Invert Colors toggle...
[BlackBerry Priv] .K':
Hey,

so there are a few things here.

First: You would need to use the bb launcher. Third party launchers dont seem so support such hotkeys.

Second: It seems like you need a third party app to toggle the invert colors. I couldnt find a way to bind invert colors from the predefined bb launcher hotkey options.

I guess it's possible but it doesnt seem to be comfortable to setup. :(
[BlackBerry Priv] BlindDroid:
Thank you .K' - that's a huge a help.

Without root, I've never been able to get a third party app to toggle invert colors with a hardware key. And because I can't root a Priv, and it doesn't seem possible with the BB launcher, I think I'm out of luck.

I really appreciate you checking into that for me!

I'll have you know that is a Note 2. As you can see, the back cover is plastic (just in case the OP blocking the number suffixing "Note" wasn't shady enough). It resembles the Note 2's plastic very much.

For further proof, the 1st (from the left)white circle is a Notification LED, the second set is the proximity sensor and something else idk what the name is, and the last is of course the camera itself. If you don't believe me, you can try to check the Note 2 front panel for yourself.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jjhl:
I bought a used Note 4 to replace my aging Galaxy S4. I have a 128GB PNY MicroSDXC I used with my S4 and I had no issues. My mother has a Note 4 as well, but it was purchased brand new. Both my used Note 4 and my mother's Note 4 does not recognize the 128GB PNY MicroSDXC card, but my computer and my old S4 recognizes the PNY card perfectly fine.

Is there something incompatible about the PNY microSD cards? I searched online and I cannot find anything on this issue.

This problem is a beyond me because I thought SD cards were universal.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] android-incredible:
I think you have to reformat the SD card with your computer first.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jjhl:
I suspected that too so I tried formatting my microSD. I tried both exFAT and NTFS via Windows 10 explorer formatter, and they still don't work on the Note 4. MicroSD card works perfectly fine with exFAT on the Galaxy S4, but for whatever reason none of the two Note 4s I have with me will recognize the 128GB micro SD card is there. My 32GB Sandisk and 64GB Samsung work fine on all the phones I have.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bradley_az:
Just stuck a SanDisk 200gb micro sdxc into my wife's phone the system partition takes up 17 freaking gbs
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] DarkGuyver:
That is strange as your device should support upto 200+GB microSDCards.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] bradley_az:
It does.... the system counts the gb size as 1024mbs. the sd card manufacturers count a gb as 1000mbs... so you dont really get all the storage you think you're getting
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] jjhl:
Upon reading Amazon Reviews, it seems like the SD Card is just low quality. Searching "Note 4" on the PNY 128GB microSD card suggests the SD card has incompatibility problems with the Note 4. I don't know why...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] woldranger:
What about trying FAT32? I know it's not ideal but at least then you've tried them all and know there's no way to get them to play nicely together.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] randre7:
I have a tmo note 4 that had the same problem.

I got a 128gb pny from amazon, put in the phone and it would work for a while.

Then it said it was removed then corrupted.

I formatted it on my pc, didn't work.

Put it in a tab a reformatted it now it works ok.

In my phone sometimes google play music can't read but if i do a restart it eorks ok.

The replacement that amazon sent did the same thing so i reformatted it and it works fine in my s2 tablet.

They is a download for your pc to reformat corrupt and none readable sd cards...sorry don't remember the name.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] sino8r:
I haven't had the best luck with PNY personally. You could try the Ubuntu Linux boot cd or thumb drive and use their utility. It was always the best for me with formating drives and repairs. If that fails send it back and go with SanDisk. Again... Just my opinion and previous experience. Good luck!

Bought Lenovo P1 Chinese but living in London & looking for a shop to update the ROM

Hi All,

I bought a chinese Lenovo Vibe P1 in HK but realised now that it is bloated with non Google apps, that the apps are unstable and the worst is that the 4G is not working :crying:

It is a great phone technically for the price, I do not need more but I need someone to help me to change the ROM to the RoW version.

I am looking for a shop in London

that could do this for me for a bit of money as I am struggling reading all the threads on the subject and my computer is a Mac not a Windows.

Thanks,

When a backup is done with twrp it takes up almost 10gb of space. I see there is an option to choose compression when doing the backup. Has anyone here tried that and does it restore just as well as a non-compressed backup?

I have used this function and restored from it as well, it works as it should. Last backup was 2.2 GB. Using garak twrp. The backup and restore does take a little longer though.

you can do the minimal working operating system, but it will remove fingerprint scanner, wallpaper change and everything, i really recommends and extended look on all the options to install and clean, to make you sure you only remove things that you dont mind or dont want

I recently was given an Android watch as a present. My phone is a Casio Commando 4G. I know it is several years old, but I really like the phone. I heard it was possible to upgrade your phone with a custom rom. I need to upgrade it to Android 4.3, thought if were possible to run Marshmallow, I would like to consider it. I do not know if my phone can handle any of this, and I'm fairly new to this sort of thing, so I may sound quite adorable in a negative sense. I do plan on buying the Cat S60, so I am just trying to squeeze life out of my phone until then. Any advice on roms will help! Thank you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] butpatbut:
HI all, I dont know if anyone has this situation...

Everytime I press on the screen, the screen generates a bit like a water wave and the situation is just like pressing on a LCD monitor.

My old M3100 doesnt have this situation...how about u guyz? do you have water wave when u press on your tytn ii?

thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
Hmmm, maybe it's because you ARE pressing on a LCD screen... I never press hard enough to see it, but I'm sure it would.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] marm0lade:
Yea seriously, how hard are you pressing? I don't think you need to be pressing nearly as hard as you are. I can see the ripple if I press really hard, but that much force isn't necessary for your taps to be recognized (and its probably not good for the screen).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] iservealot:
I was going to post about this earlier. I too have this problem. I owned an 8525 before, and it never rippled unless you were exerting massive force.

My current Tilt you barley tap it (like say, you are touching the dial pad to call someone) and it has two large ripples happening.

Is this normal for everyone? I called ATT about this, and they just sent me a new one. I just haven't opened the new one yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] butpatbut:
I found this out cos I am using my finger to use the Touchflo...I didnt apply a very aggressive pressure on it...I even see the ripple when I slide the keyboard out. Is it normal?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mutantblack:
no its not normal if you are pressing softly and having wave like that. Please do the warranty exchange.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] butpatbut:
HI have u tested your new Tilt yet?

AT&T just sends you a new phone without even asking for the old one back?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] laakness:
I've seen the small ripple when sliding the screen out. Maybe it's the magnetic switch..who knows. Doesn't happen all the time.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] butpatbut:
I have uploaded a video on youtube about my screen problem

I only pressed it gently on the screen.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=b03x2VldcmI

Do you guyz have this problem?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] butpatbut:
Anyone? it seems I am the only one to have this problem...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] PhilipL:
Hi

It depends on the LCD panel, there are different types of panel, some will ripple when pressed or distorted even very slightly others don't.

The problem with asking others is there are at least two different types of LCD panel used in the Kaiser. One we know to be transreflective that works in direct sunlight and looks kind of green rather than black when off, and one that's not transreflective that is black when off and doesn't work too well in direct sunlight. These panels may well be using different LCD technologies in other ways meaning not everyone will see the same as you.

Mine isn't transreflective and doesn't do this, so perhaps you have a transreflective type that also ripples under pressure. It isn't a fault with the LCD display, rather HTC sourcing whatever types of panel they can get at the time for the cheapest price. You wouldn't normally use a panel that ripples when pressed on a touch screen for obvious reasons, but HTC have. Maybe it was a shortage in supply and there are not many that use this type?

Regards

Phil

It shouldn't happen. Exchange it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] greenbep:
They charge you for the second one and then refund it when they receive the old one.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] iservealot:
They sent my second one out to me at no charge. They forgot to include the shipping labels...again... so they will probably just end up letting me keep the device.

Anyhow, my Tilt ripples exactly in the same place that the video showed, and in the same way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] butpatbut:
Is the ripple gone for your second one?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JwY:
Where is your Tilt made?

What's the model code under the battery (ie. KAIS300)?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] butpatbut:
Mine is from orange uk...sounds like I am not the only one who has this problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
We don't know this at all, there apparently are at least two screen types but neither was transreflective, both blew out in direct sun.

The ripple is a function of the thickness of the glass screen. Since liquid crystal displays work by electrostatic twisting of a liquid suspension of quartz crystals thereby bending the light to allow it to pass thru polarizing filters, any physical movement of this suspension will also cause visible light artifacts. So if the front panel is lighter weight material, it will show more "ripples" if pressed firmly.
