[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
The is a very fair point. Even with say 5 or 10% of the phones out there, we'd expect to see incidents continuing to be reported albeit at a reduced rate. Yet there is no such news, and I like you I would think it would be big news not to be missed by the media. And yet, silence.

That said, I was happy to take the risk anyway, but unfortunately I am not happy to live with a phone that has no updates for 2 years and which doesn't work with my GearVR, so I will have to return it at some point.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
The story with the "thief's" Note7 exploding last week got quite a bit of coverage last week?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
Updates to me are over rated. I always freeze the OTA apk's as soon as I get my phone and root it. Unless there is some huge benefit to upgrading (which I have never seen yet in about 9 years of owning android phones), I just keep my phone how it is once I root and lock in my ROM. Usually I go with a stock based ROM that someone on XDA has made and just stick with that.

As far as the N7, one can root and then from there you can do changes to make the Gear VR work. You can even use an old IMEI from a previous phone you owned and use that on the N7 if you really wanted (from what I have read - I have not done that). So if one really wanted to keep their N7, they could root and then do all of these things and still use it for a long time. I suspect there will be more people than we think who end up doing this and using their N7 until the N8 or similar option is available.

As of now, the N7 is still working 100% as it is supposed to on Verizon for me. I disabled all OTA apk's right away with package disabler, so my phone has never been updated. Unless Verizon and other carriers start blacklisting IMEI's, I will continue to use mine unless and viable option becomes available. I have been close to swapping for an S7 edge, but am going to wait and see what deals come out for it on Black friday and for the holiday season. If the deals are good enough I may yet just take my $100 I get for turning in my N7 and get the discounted S7. I can use that until either the S8 comes out, or even until the N8. I can always give my S7 to my girlfriend (she may be my wife by then) if/when I upgrade. Those are the options I am looking at right now. Happily using my N7 until the decision is either forced upon me or it seems the right time to turn it in and get the S7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I'm very keen on an S8 though, especially if there's any chance of a 4k screen, which would make some VR experiences simply incredible - not that they are not already.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] The Phone Company:
Similar to bow I run Windows 7 in lieu of 10. I don't need "updates". The thing works fine as is, "security updates" are a farce. On Windows 7 I never update and in all of 6 years I have had a "security issue". Ever.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] urirx98:
I broke down after they crippled me with the 60% battery, sucks, i didnt want to go back to my s4 which i had for 3.5 years so ordered Note 4 edge from ebay, hope to have it by Monday and also hope nothing wrong with it lol. Plan on atleast using that for the next year til the S8 plus or whatever they want to call the new NOTE is comes out and is SAFELY on the market for a FEW MONTHS before i jump on it lol, not dealing with returning phones again!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Arun01:
Hello I currently have a galaxy note 4. Anytime I use the stock camera I have a problem. After having it on for about 2 minutes if I don't touch the screen or take a picture it'll cut off & go back to the gone screen. I'm wandering do all Samsung cameras do this. I'm looking to buy a S7 this week. Can anyone try out their camera & see if it stays on longer than a few minutes please?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] *Detection*:
Does the same on S5 / S7 that I've owned, think it's a power saving feature
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Arun01:
OK. I guess I will use the app (open camera). It's not as good as the stock camera but it'll have to do. Thanks.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] vaxheadroom:
Lenovo says "Temporarily Unavailable"

Lowes says "Currently Unavailable"

This doesn't look like just an out-of-stock situation; feels more like a "hold" while they resolve issues.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] bm3epps:
I just sold mines to someone else, but I feel that is exactly the issue for them being out of stock in both places. I originally tried to return it back to Lowes as per the return instructions that came with the purchase. Lowe's couldn't accept or return it for me, and I had to send the phone back off myself. The refund date would have taken 2-4 weeks after they received the phone, and I just decided to cut my losses and sell it. I went back to the Mate 8.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] VillaRegina:
I hope they resolve the issues ASAP!!! I am optimistically hoping for Black Friday at the latest!!!

Honor Note 8.. 4GB Ram and they have the 32GB, 64GB, 128GB with expandable storage..I think this is more comparable than the Mi Max (had it)..better camera, software, and about the same as far as coverage (gets H+/4G) and 2G is still somewhat fast as far as web browsing and non strenuous games on the Note 8 but on Mi Max (gets H+/4G) but 2G is horrible..Note 8 have more accessories available than P2P

What issues are people having? I am not having any issues.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] Kayphix:
Odd, I was able to return mine to Lowe's without any issues. Got my refund in 2 days. They didn't even check to see if the phone was in the box.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] strawsy:
Why did you return it?
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] Kayphix:
I was very disappointed with T-Mobile reception. Usually got 55 and 35mb/s at home & work respectively. Was only getting .5 and 3mb/s with the Phab, even after the network settings fix.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] RMXO:
I returned mine over the weekend, besides the slow speed on TMO, I couldn't get over no NFC, no exFAT support and had issues connecting to more than 1 BT device.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] vaxheadroom:
- Google+ will not install (see separate thread)

- Google is stating there is no Play store support for this device (see Google+ thread)

- Lenovo seems clueless when folks call them with issues

- Android Auto will not work on my car (works fine with my old Note4)

- Tango Constructor crashes

No one of these issues is major, but taken together they are significant.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] doctahjeph:
I am definitely thinking about returning mine and biting the bullet on the Asus zenfone 3 ultra.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] strawsy:
All the issues you guys listed don't make a difference to me so I see why I didn't notice any issues. I just ran a speed test and my speed was slow but could be my area. Also I think the Google+ is an issue with Google. I've read about several phones having issues with installing.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] VillaRegina:
In my area I get terrible MMS text message service on phones not released in the US - both group texts and pictures. The phone will divide the group into individuals OR it will miss texts entirely OR it will miss pictures entirely... I cannot deal with that...

The Honor Note 8 does seem like an awesome phone! Better than the Mi Max! There would be no question that I would get that phone immediately if it was configured for the US!

Thanks for the heads up! I would probably sell my P2P to get an Honor Note 8 configured for the US...
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] H. Clarkson:
The Honor Note 8 looks like a better device, BUT it doesn't look like it can get 4G in the U.S. That's definitely a deal-breaker for me.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] jeffx:
Speed seems good for me over WiFi (60/6) and Cricket (6/5). My home internet service is 50/5 and Cricket is throttled at 8. Reception also seems better than my Xperia Z3.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] VillaRegina:
Why do you think that on the Lenovo website it says "Starting at $499.99"??? That implies that there are upgrades available (I am wishing for 128GB storage) that would make it cost more??? Thoughts???
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] strawsy:
I hope they don't release bigger storage after I've already bought this one. I'm beginning to wonder of the ones sold by Lowe's weren't actually supposed to ship out yet. I mean why would Lowe's ship faster than directly from lenovo? I ordered through lenovo at first until I realized Lowe's was shipping and got it in 3 days.
[Lenovo Phab 2 Pro Questions & Answers] H. Clarkson:
It appears to be back on sale on Lenovo's site, but still listed as currently unavailable on Lowe's site.

This is for everyone out there who upped to WM6 on wizard models and found ActiveSync not recognising your fone over USB. Download ActiveSyncMode.cab (sometimes named ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab) and install it on your Fone. Run it - Start/Programs/ActiveSyncMode.exe -

http://www.utstar.com/pcd/downloads/ActiveSyncMode.sa.CAB

Select 'USB Serial Sync Mode'. Now try connecting your fone and it should work.

I tried almost 50 posts and advices over 3 days and this one worked like a charm. I know there must be other issues with other fones which have different solutions. Please feel free to add to this thread all/any verified solutions.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] us687008:
Not really. Installed ActiveSyncMode. Ran it and selected USB mode instead of RNDIS mode. This fixed the problem for me with a WM6 upgraded 8125 and 2 other friends with Original ROM 8125 and Original ROM MDA.

I had to reinstall WM6 and now ActiveSyncMode.sa.CAB no longer fixes my connectivity problem. I'm getting fed up with WM6.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] amsatnetg:
I have tried everything else and will now try this. I did not realize that this was such a problem, until I started researching to solve my own problem. So good luck to me.

Fixed it with my own build. So far. I still have to try and sync with another computer. That is where the biggest problem has been for me, is syncing with two computers.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] a_ok2me:
Under Vista 64, I normally have McAfee firewall at the highest setting and also have Windows Firewall on.

At first, after upgrading to WM6, I could not sync. I then found some registry fix procedures and tried them but it did not work. I then installed ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab and it allowed me to sync. Maybe that combined with the prior registry fix might have allowed me to sync.

However, after I uninstalled WM6 and reinstalled it, I could not sync anymore. I installed ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab again, but it did not work this time. I did not try the registry fix this time because I can't find the procedures, which I originally found online. I can't remember how to find them again.

I then turned off both Windows Firewall and McAfee firewall and I was able to sync again.

I then reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center while having the firewalls off, hoping it would allow the installations to complete properly.

I then turned on Windows Firewall but it was still blocking the sync.

I restored Windows Firewall back to default and it made it worse. I then had to reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center and was able to sync again with Windows Firewall on. Often I would have to disconnect the cradle to establish reconnection.

Next, I needed to figure out how to turn on McAfee firewall and allow it to sync.

I then contacted McAfee and they told me to exclude Universal Plug and Play (UPNP) port 5000 and Windows File Sharing (NETBIOS) port 137-139. It didn't work exactly until I lowered the firewall one level. What all this networking stuff means, I don't know. I'll have to do more searches on them.

I now need to figure out how to put McAfee firewall back at maximum level while still allowing me to sync.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] a_ok2me:
After doing all the steps above, I found that all I needed to do was lower the McAfee firewall level one notch to be able to sync. However, I'm still going to figure out why I had previously been able to sync at the maximum security level. There must be some exclusion that got remove that I need to add again.

Activesync and HTC s620 issues.

This issues is driving me completely insane, So far this thread is about the only related info on the problem too. I find it hard to believe there aren’t more people out there with these issues, anyway here’s were I’m at:

Got a HTC s620 Smartphone from BT, Active sync simply didn’t work from day one and me being an IT support guy I haven’t been able to resist going back to the issue.

For over a week I have made pretty much no progress at all, I can’t find a activesyncmode.sa.cab file for my phone that works yet so got nowhere with that, the HTC website is about as useful as a chocolate fire guard.

The first leap of progress was spotting a trick on here of disabling the advanced network functionality on the phone its self.

It was baffling me at first why my computer was picking up the phone as if it was a network adapter. (And trust me I tried all sorts of in depth stuff down that avenue). It makes sense now though that the Smartphone can be setup to act as a network adapter/modem. Hence now I’ve disabled the advanced network functionality on my phone Active sync instantly make noises and hey presto ‘Connected’ :) and then a few moments later I’ve now got some other critical error :mad:

So my quest continues, but I will get to the bottom of this if it kills me!

So for the record, anyone with a HTC s620 Smartphone running Windows Mobile 6, before you do anything else do this:-

Start

Settings

6. Connections

7. More…

4. USB to PC

(Remove the bloody tick from box) Enable advanced network functionality

I will report back with my next hurdle…:confused:

OK, as much as I’d played around with my firewall it would turn out that this is the second culprit causing my problems. I tried installing Activesync on my Laptop and Desktop and had the same errors, however the only thing those to computer have in common is the Iolo System Shield installed. Last night to just ensure I wasn’t going mad, I tried it on my wife’s laptop and hey presto! It worked first time. So naturally, I’ve uninstalled the Iolo System Shield from my computer and bingo, :cool: worked straight away.

This is annoying however, because I did everything from the Microsoft Help setting up exceptions etc. in my firewall. But there you go.

In brief:

Check your device has the advanced network functionality disabled.

Uninstall your 3rd party firewall and test to pin point the cause, then you know what you’re dealing with.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Gumshoe:
Just a second thought of advice, one of the first things I tried was disabling the firewall, from my experience that wasn’t enough, it had to be uninstalled to get it to work. Before anyone else goes down the hair pulling road of trying anything and everything under the sun, uninstall your firewall/system guard software. At least if it works after that you know exactly what is causing the problem.

Then getting it to work with the firewall installed is something you can focus on possible in conjunction with the software vendor.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] sat-fan:
I fixed teh same problem by unchecking the advanced box but .....

after oving back to wm5, I cant connect as well. I look for the working solution from WM6, but I cant find the menue to disable the advance usb connection.

It looks like that is the problem to sync with vista 64

Hope somebody has a idea.

thx in advance
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Quide:
My USB connection to activesync stopped working. (although at my second pc it still works OK)

It works via InfraRed though!

I think this USB problem started when I was trying to connect via bluetooth.

Don't you just hate ActiveSync!?

Well, maybe the problem is with Windows XP... because it doesn't recognizes the PDA.

Anybodies help? Thanks in advance.

would be a shame to let a useful thread go into some archive, so I'm resurrecting this oldie.

Also, I remedied this activesync issue with a more straigtforward fix. Fresh flash of 6.5. After deleting all the USB devices in the device mgr (didn't help), I saw there was a WM6.5 setting for default behavior on PC Connection (or something similar to that). Changed it from "setup" to "sync" & that silly white toggling screen went away and allowed a flash back to 6.1.

[size=+2]TWRP Custom Recovery for Vivo V3[/size]

This is an experimental custom recovery for Vivo V3 based on TWRP version 3.0.2-0. You can use this recovery to flash custom ROMs and other flashable ZIPs. Full root access is available via an ADB shell.

Important - read before flashing

This is an experimental recovery. Whilst it will not prevent your device from booting back in to its normal ROM, I am not responsible for anything that goes wrong. If you flash this recovery to your device you will no longer be able to receive OTA updates for Funtouch OS and will have to install ROM updates manually unless you flash back to original stock recovery.

DOWNLOAD LINK

TWRP Custom Recovery

Flashing Instructions

1. Go to Settings, then More Settings, About Phone, and then tap Software version 10 times. It should now say that you are a developer.

2. Go to Settings, then More Settings, Developer Options. Turn on USB Debugging and Enable OEM Unlock.

3. Connect your phone to your computer. Authorize the USB debugging request on your phone screen.

4. If you haven't already, install ADB/Fastboot drivers. See here for further instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317790

5. Place the TWRP file from the download links above in your current directory

6. Completely power off your phone.

7. Hold the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons together until you see a black screen with FASTBOOT options.

8. In a command line window (or using Minimal ADB Fastboot if you used the above instructions), run this command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-v3.img

9. If all went well the custom recovery has now been flashed. Use the volume buttons on your phone to select "RECOVERY" from the FASTBOOT options on-screen, then press the power button to confirm. You should now be in recovery mode! Congratulations!

Going back to stock recovery

Currently I have no original recovery image, so you will not be able to go back to stock recovery unless Vivo release it (unlikely).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] liamcrayden:
Note to testers:

You can make a backup of the stock V3 recovery by flashing this TWRP recovery like so:

fastboot flash boot recovery-v3.img
fastboot reboot

This flashes the recovery to your boot partition rather than the recovery partition. You'll then be able to make a backup of the stock recovery in TWRP. After saving a copy to your SD card, flash back to your original boot partition like so:

fastboot flash boot boot-original-v3-1.8.20.img
fastboot reboot

Afterwards you can flash this TWRP to your recovery partition as normal and then you also have a stock recovery file too. Please upload it to this forum if you make a backup of stock.

The original stock boot image can be downloaded here if you need it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0TtHsl8vcaLYTJhZHNHTFVfdGs/view?usp=sharing
