Hi.

I am looking at purchasing my first HTC phone. My first thought is who to go with. As I am looking through the forums people generally don't seem to happy with what orange have done with the tytn 2. However vodafone customers seem quite happy with the v1615, apparently vodafone have not messed with the phone too much and it still remains close to the HTC release.

Do either vodafone or orange change the main screen with the options for weather etc.

If anyone has any further experience with this, It would be great to hear from you.

Thanks

Marc
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
I have the V1615, which is only lightly branded. The HTC Home plugin (with the weather etc) is disabled when you first get the phone, but can be easily re-enabled in the Today screen settings. Similarly you can swap the vodafone message and calendar icons for proper WM6 icons in the same settings page. It comes with a nasty Vodafone theme installed, but again you can swap that for something more standard.

The only other customisations I found were the dialling screen, and comms manager, which have cosmetic changes to fit with the Vodafone theme but are functionally identical to the HTC versions. It's also missing a couple of apps - namely Windows Live, Messenger, and Worldcard Mobile.

It's perfectly livable with, certainly compared to what I've seen of the Orange version... having said that, I did debrand mine in the end and switch to the stock HTC rom.

PS - from what I've read here and elsewhere the V1615 is actually sim unlocked, so open to any network, but I've not actually tried any other sim in mine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mmm_ok:
The orange customisation is appalling... I flashed the phone with the shipped HTC generic ROM as soon as I got it home. Keep in mind that to do this you have to sim unlock the phone (currently no free solution, £20 or more depending on where you do it)

Also, the orange do not provide the TomTom taster than comes in the generic package.

HOWEVER... I have not seen the Voda TYTN II, but I say with certainty that the Orange TYTN (Hermes) looked much better than the Voda TYTN (Hermes).

Can anyone comment on the differences between how the Kaiser handsets differ visually?

EDIT: I just checked, the two variants look almost exactly the same :-)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brooza:
Just to jump in here too, I'm looking at getting the TyTN II on either Vodafone or T-Mobile, but can't decide which one to get
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Boinng:
Just to add, the Voda V1615 did come with the TomTom taster on disk, along with Sprite backup etc - the same CD package as the HTC, afaik.

If this is true (and I've no reason to doubt it) then the Vodafone is definitely SIM unlocked. All I had to do with mine is use the free CID utility available here (which just "unlocks" the firmware itself) and then run the usual Rom Update Utility to flash it with the generic HTC version. Total cost = £0.00.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mmm_ok:
There are loads of threads with noobs who've flashed and then said AAAAHHHHHHHH WTF ha ha ha ha

I'm not exactly sure why the sim lock kicks in... legally I don't think it should because I have an orange SIM in an orange phone - I've just flashed it with a non-orange OS build.

I read in another thread that maybe the handset detects that you've got a radio stack of a non-orange build and prompts for SIM unlock code...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Deleted member 470721:
My UK v1615 is also unlocked. How cool is that?

I rather like the phone so far and visualy it's a very pretty phone with the brushed metal around the screen and the black glossy back. Very nice indeed.

Havent tried to debrand the ROM yet as i've found no reason to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] msward3380:
I have the V1615 from Vodafone and can confirm it is not sim locked none of the phonesi have ever had form Vodafone including my old TYTn were ever locked.

V1615 seems quite normal and has a very low amount of customisation, less than on most Vodafone phones.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wootty2000:
What happens is, if you flash a new radio rom (that is not an orange rom) to an orange TYTN 2 then the phone complains about the sim card not being accepted.

The only current way around this is to pay £20+ (there is a member on here that will provide you with an unlock code) and unlock the phone.

Then you can carry on using the phone with none orange radio roms.

What people are currently doing (and sucessfully with out paying £20+ to unlock the phone) is flashing HardSPL and then flashing just the OS rom to their orange phones
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] forza:
Putting aside the Orange variants problem with simlock (which can be solved relatively cheaply) I would have said the argument is which carrier provides you the best deal, not just on the phone but the airtime package, network coverage etc.

At the end of the day, the device is the same and you can flash any of the ROMs found here and customise your shiny device any way you want :-)

To be clear on the Orange simlock issue - this only occurs if you flash a different radio rom, flashing an OS only rom has no issues at all. Currently there is no need to use a different radio rom with the cooked rom's available here.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanmoneill:
Hi All,

I'm having some issues with my Kindle Books app, when I go into the library most of my books appear as greyed out and won't open, there seems to be no difference between books downloaded to the device and books stored in the cloud. Only two books seem to work and I think both of these were purchased after the issue first ocurred. The odd thing is that if I go via the books store and select the "read now" button, the book will open on my device. Not really sure what's going on here, any thoughts on what I an do to fix this?

Running Fire OS 5.3.1 with root and ota blocked (by renaming file).

Thanks,

Jonny
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Not immediately sure about your Kindle Books issue but first need to get the facts straight on your device. FireOS 5.3.1 is not rootable at present so you must be running another version or don't actually have root. This could be relevant as some apps behave differently on rooted devices.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanmoneill:
I used this tutorial to do it. It allows 5.3.1 to be rooted using 5.1.2 bootloader.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
Yep - welcome to the 1% club (ok - maybe 5%) that followed this procedure and opted to remain on FireOS. I actually thought about that possibility when penning my previous response but felt mentioning it would only lead to confusion. My bad.

As for Kindle Books have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app? I realize this may be a challenge as the version included with FireOS is a system app different (and possibly not readily available) than the generic Android app. You might also try clearing the app data store which *should* be repopulated from Amazon cloud on initial connection after the flush.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanmoneill:
Yeah, I know it's an unusual choice, will probably install a custom rom at some point but for now Nova launcher and Fire OS is good enough for me :)

In more relevant news clearing the app data store seems to have worked a treat, thanks for your help :D
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beezar:

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beckyboomsticks:
Hi guys,

Hoping someone a little more technically-minded than I may be able to help out. Recently purchased an Alcatel Idol 3, but it has unfortunately terrible signal - sitting at about -99 to -112 dBm.

It isn't, however, my service provider or location - I've taken my sim directly out of my old phone (Alcatel pixi 4.5") which worked perfectly as far as signal goes, and haven't changed location whatsoever.

Most texts will send eventually (some take 2-3mins), some websites will load very slowly, some not at all, and there seems to be no hope of picking up GPS.

Internet and gps work perfectly while connected to WiFi.

Have tried playing around with APN settings, and then restoring them to default. Have tried restarting many many times.

Halp. Please. Any advice would be well and truly appreciated.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
Does the Note 7 have slower AC speed than the Note 5? (Like the S7E)

My Note 5 tops out at 866Mbps whereas the S7E <400.

In real world (speedtest.net) results, Note 5: hits close to 600 both ways, S7E barely squeaks over 330!
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] neyenlives:
I am sure over its life the Note 7 will be getting antenna improvements. Apparently it has MIMO 4X4 antennas and on paper has the ability to perform better than older handsets. That being said my internet is 60mbit/sec so the speed between phone and router is kinda pointless.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] FAUguy:
My current Note 4 also connects to my router at 866Mbps, so I doubt the Note 7 would connect slower.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
That's what one would think but the S7E connects slower and I'm hoping this isn't the case with the 7.

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] californiarailroader:
Update - I fixed it! I did a factory reset on the C3150, connected back up and I'm now showing 866, woot!

Edit - It appears the Note 7 isn't compatible with Mu-mimo yet, at least not on the C3150, enabling it on my C3150 after the reset causes the Note 7 to connect at 96, turn it off and it's back to 866. The reset was still necessary though, as toggling mu-mimo on and off before the reset did nothing to fix the 433 issue. I see the Note 7 is 4x4 mu-mimo ready, but they haven't yet enabled it.

Hi,

Previously, I unlocked bootloader and rooted my p9 lite. 2 days ago there is was some problems in the device so I thought I can fix it from the TWRP. I ended up by removing everything in the device. No operating system and no recovery. I tried to fix it by creating the dload folder and installing the update.app. But I couldn't get it to the firmware installation mode (Volume+&- and power). Now the device is stuck on boot. I can only get to the fastboot mode when I connect it to PC. I also tried to recover it using the HiSuite but it says the device is not supported.

What else can I do?

I have a P9 lite L22C185B140. That was the original firmware on the phone. I made a stupid mistake and wipe the entire phone clean., so as a result, theres no OS on it and the bootloader is locked. Firstly, I need help in getting the bootloader unlocked (Details below) and secondly everytime (when the bootloader was unlocked) when i entered recovery (revolution) it never flashed the firmware. It gave a mounting error. Also i couldnt flash any other custom recovery on the phone and to make matters worse, the dload route never worked either.

[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
IMHO Generally... smaller, heavier, better updated software, similar speed, shinier (and more fingerprints), edges collect dust on my silver version, and the only slight negative is that the sound is slightly worse on the loudspeaker on the 7 (or is that just me).

It's more refined and a more mature product. Each note iteration has felt less and less different. But its pretty fantastic.
[AT&T Note 7  Questions & Answers] the1stSecond:
My initial thoughts:

-Much better GUI.

-I like they have "clean up tools" built in.

-Feels much better in hand.

-External speakers leave a lot to be desired (wasn't that happy with Note 5 speakers, but these seem worse).

-The iris unlock is neat, but I will be sticking with finger print unless I am showing people how quick the iris scanner actually is.

-First day I was worried about performance as I was experience a lot of lag and stuttering. But, that has completely cleared up after updating everything and getting all my settings settled in. It is actually snappier feeling than my Note 5.

-Loving the silver. This is my first Non dark colored phone, but it does collect finger prints and dust as already mentioned. Dbrand incoming.

-I always thought the "edge" stuff was gimicky, but having my home screen decluttered with all of my most used apps hiding in the Edge is wonderful.

-5ghz wireless is performing very poorly. Is 4x4 MIMO enabled by default? I'm getting much slower 5ghz speed on the Note 7 than on the Note 5. I would get well over 300Mbps on Note 5 and barely get 200Mbps on Note 7. Ill start another thread discussing wireless performance to see what everyone is getting.

-Battery is improved, for me, over Note 5 (of course I have only had it one day, so time will tell). I installed Package Disabler (paid version) to disable bloat. I did the same on my Note 5. I charged my phone before I went to sleep and lost less than 1% per hour over night. It went from 100% to 94% in 7 hours (not in any kind of power saving mode). My Note 5 would easily lose 2% or more per hour when on standby in a similar scenario (same sync setting with my emails and not in any power saving mode). I will need more time to judge drain during use, but it does seem to drain quickly while in use. I am down to 63% with only 1.5 hours of on screen time. Screen is set to adjust automatically for brightness-adaptive.

-More refined all around and I am 100% happy I chose to upgrade from Note 5.
