[Samsung Galaxy J5 Real Life Review] wadhah1000:
the screen is super amoled so it's really good for a budget phone
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Real Life Review] dankfrank33:
yes it gets perfectly black colors since it uses amoled screen, but after 2 years of using this phone, i noticed that the white colors on it aren't that white anymore and it shows a very light yellow color instead of pure white. probably amoled screens degrade overtime
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Real Life Review] Amarius1:
Not super amoled. Only amoled...

Hi,

I bought a universal DC car adapter that lets you set the voltage from

1.5v-15v?

Does anyone know the proper voltage setting for the SX66? :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jdc:
What are you trying to plug into this? The adapter has a plug that will fit into the phone directly?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] xplode:
the battery is 3.6 v and the original charger is 5 v, 2 A, but i am not sure if it will work, you have to take a look on original carkit to see the correct parameters
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] zhenius:
just check the specifications on the original charger, i think its written there. check the output voltage.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] sorgeangel:
Thanks

thanks for the reply,

it was 5v, but my DC "universal" adapter skips from 4.5v to 6v, but the phone seems to pick up on the 4.5v so everything is fine.

I needed it to keep my phone charging while I had my OBDII device connected so the program would not drain my battery. :)

The screen (with minimum brightness) was hurting my eyes when the room's light was turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Real Life Review] ClassicMike:
The minium brighteness is still very bright.
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Real Life Review] dankfrank33:
i use 3rd party apps from play store to decrease the minimum brightness even more(to the point where you cant see anything). but in sunny outdoors, its hard to use the phone even when you turn on outdoor mode but overall im ok with the phone's brightness
[Samsung Galaxy J5 Real Life Review] Telepracity:
You can install an app which reduces the brightness alot (i think its called Night Mode)

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] tunedude:
I recently got a Touch Dual/Niki and from time to time when being in standby (the screen turned off) it doesn't respond on any button press, nor does it react when trying to call it, I've got it back up and running only by removing the battery, setting it back and then I can turn on the device again.

I haven't really customized anything and the only 3rd party software that I know that have been running at the time are gmail client and/or live messenger

Anyone else experienced the same problems? ..does this seem like some software bug, or is my hardware faulty?

Rom: 1.31.414.02

Rom date: 11/02/07

Radio version: 1.58.16.27

Protocol version: 25.61.30.03H

Operator Saunalahti/Finland
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jvieira:
same problem here!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Drachen:
I'd guess hardware, but just to be safe, you should probably do a hard reset and see if that helps. I had a problem with mine where it would lose random amounts of time every once in a while (the clock would be completly wrong) and the screen would become completely unresponsive for over a minute just after I rebooted the phone. At one point, it just decided it didn't want to boot and just got stuck on the WM loading screen, even after multiple hard resets. I replaced the device and the new one works perfectly.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Lord of the Badgers:
yup, me too.. happened today after i finished a call. i just left the thing alone for a bit & was ok later
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] tunedude:
ok, just did the hard reset, if it happens again I'll go replace it
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jekk:
same here. at the moment I try to live with that, although it's rather annoying. happens 3 to 4 times a day. no response to touchscreen or buttons, but touching the screen makes the backlight going from dimmed to bright. (you know, after quite a while being idle, it dims and after another while it goes to standby)

about half a minute later it's back and executes some (or all) of the inputs at once.

I use some third party programs and tools, but nothing which diggs deep in the system (except AEButton+). So maybe it's one of them. Also I use scheduled IMAP synchronization, which may also play a part in this.

Any one-fits-all solution is deeply appreciated. (Not very impressive to show a frozen device...)

Cheers,

jekk
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] tunedude:
Ok, it just happened again.. I'll go complain to service.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ero69:
Same thing here... happens whenever it feels like it. I thought it may have been one of my apps.... particularly Photo Contacts Pro as every now and then that does some strange things, but interesting to know this happens to others as well.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jvieira:
yeah

just happened to me again as well
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jekk:
any solutions?

*bump*

Currently I wonder whether this is a hardware or software issue. So some questions:

did someone flash the problem away?

did someone hard-reset the problem away?

did someone device-replace the problem away?

This would be helpful.

Cheers,

jekk.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] rwagter:
Flashed my niki.

I'm getting very regular freeze up's on browsing the internet with a 3G connection. I'm waiting for a new ROM to arrive to determine if the problem is software/hardware (unless both ROM's use the same base Rom ;) )

My old prophet had an easy accesible reset button, unfortunately I have to remove the batterycap now and I have a feeling the mechanisme won't hold for 2 years if I open it every day a couple times.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] tunedude:
FWIW, my device is currently sent in for service, I'll report back with the outcome when I eventually get a device back..
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] tunedude:
Isn't it just brilliant, after a week of "service", they tell me freely translated: "No problem found. Device reset. (Might it be the standby mode from which the device wakes up by pressing the power button?)"

Of course they did not bother to call me to ask for further clarification... Now I'll have to wait until it arrives back at the shop where I sent it in so I can go and send it back..

Oh the joy!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] cdebarto:
Same freeze problem

Hi guys

I' have same freeze probleme on my niki, i made hard reset without solving nothing.Only solution remove battery and restart.

In my case it always happens while system is in stand by so my phone goes offline and i havent any advice.

Last mornig after a night recharge a foud my niki completely uncharged with red led.I have ordered a new battery hoping the problem may be in my battery.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] Mauser.NET:
I had the same problem. Sometimes it wouldn't wake up when I pressed the powerbutton.

Last thursday I flashed my device with Tom Codon's ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=364335

I haven't got the problem since :D
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] SMYKUL:
I had never experienced any freezing problems with my niki until yesterday, when I first started using my new 8gb sdhc microsd card. Now it has happened three times! Is it possible that the driver is to blame? We know older devices had some perculiar issues with external storage upon wakeup.

For clarity; I have a 16-key niki from orange using the stock rom and the card is an sandisk class 4.

Let me know if you guys have a similiar setup.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] starfish_001:
I've just hard reset mine .... now seems stable ... before it was freezing every time I tried to use it.

So now I have no SD installed + no apps.

Before

SD with very few apps

Sprite backup HTC version

Informant previuos version

Flex Mail 2007

Copilot 6

Fsecure from Tmobile customisation

So I am thinking SD compatability may have been my issue ... I only had a 2GB Sandisk Premier. Will try a 1GB later
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jekk:
That's interesting... I am also using a (4gb) micro sd card. Maybe this really is the reason for the freezes. hard resets (2 till now) didn't solve the problem for me and I have not tried flashing a new rom yet. so this goes well with the possibility of a misbehaving driver thing.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] rwagter:
As I wrote I only had freeze up's during browsing the www. After reading that there might be a sd-card driver problem I changed all IE temp directories back from the storage card to the device itself and I now can browse uninterrupted. So it seems that there is a slight driver issue.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] starfish_001:
Changing SD card semed to fix things for me ..... at least for th last few days.

Before I swapped card I had constant problems
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] woetyke:
same problem

Same problem.

I have the same problem with 5 Niki's.

Some of them use microsd-cards most of them not.. with only one app installed.

something with the standby of the device. Most of the time it happens when it's a long time standby....
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] mcoquet:
wtf, same here (htc touch dual, french version of Niki100) ! occasionally freezes, though most of the times when in standby mode and someone tries to call me. of course the call does not go through and the device remains in standby mode forever. this pisses me off 'cause you can't notice it and you may miss calls/messages, damnit !
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ero69:
My freezes normally occur when I hang up on a call.

From another site where people experience this freeze during standby mode they have found by disabling the Today Timeout their freeze has been fixed.

Start-Settings-Today-Items and disable Today timeout.

(What does this setting even do?)

I have disabled it on my phone. I have had only 1 freeze DURING a call where I had to remove my battery but been much more stable. But, I have also changed some Registry settings to improve speed, and installed AEButton+ and allowed that software to handle the Red key.

I don't know what has enormously helped me, but something has.

I certainly recommend to try disabling the Today timeout, especially if you have freezes during standby.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] tabackd:
Turn Off HSDPA

Try turn off HSDPA it worked for me?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] ritterchen:
Same here - my Niki freezes in standby.:mad:

I miss nearly 50 % of my calls. Have to reset the phone to reanimate....

Greetings Frank
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jekk:
That helped! Wait... no, didn't.

I can confirm that there seem to be less freezes. However it didn't fix the problem completely: still occasional freezes :(
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] juju66:
Same on here, but on my side, freezes doesn't occur during a phone call but randomly. Sometimes, I just put the phone out of stand-by mode and it is impossible to do anything. Just some seconds later (which seems to be 5 minutes), every operation I've done on the screen is performing really quickly... Most apps installed are from spb (mobile shell and welcome screen (don't remember the exact name). Btw, I've got a 2Gb SanDisk Card, too.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] woetyke:
still problems..

any ideas?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] aemilius:
I ve got the same problem

I own an Htc Touch dual, with spanish vodafone Rom. I have the same problem. We take two Htcs touch dual, one the first day after sincronysing with active sync put its screen black and doesn't response to the buttons, even changing the battery with the other HTC phone. We return that htc touch dual to get a new one.

During four weeks, the other htc touch dual had ocassional freezings (black screen, blinking leds, but no response and missed calls) but yesterday the other htch touch dual had black screen and no response problem (after tryng to install Htc touch flo), finally after pushing many times the power button and puting on and off the battery it revived.

I think it's software problem because it happend with two identical and new htc touch dual and after changing built in software.

So I will wait for an update of the rom.

I hope this could help to understand the source of the problem.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] mcoquet:
hi guys, i still got the problem even after deactivating the "Today expiring" option... so i got pissed off and proceeded to flash with TOM's ROM.

so far no freeze (but it has only been 48 hours...) :)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] keefsloan:
I also had this problem but I've noticed that it hasn't happened now for over a week. What's changed? I'm using ultimate launcher but, and this is probably the most obvious thing, I've flashed the radio to a Kaiser v1.64.08.21. I did read somewhere that there was incompatability between WM6.1 (which Tom's ROM uses) and the original radio ROM. My results seem to bear this out. It's only now that I think of it that I realise it seems to have stabilised.

Hope this information helps some of you out.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] tunedude:
this REALLY sucks...

the phone has been in and out of service several times, and once they switched the 'motherboard' of the phone.

And still as broken as before..

As we speak it is on its way back from service again and now they claim that they didn't see any problems but have reflashed the software.

They also suggest that my memory card is likely broken, which I find hard to believe as the problems occurs even if I don't have any memory card inserted...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] maciekish:
I had this prob A LOT with the Niki Project Rom v1.0 WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19716 ( Build 19716.1.1.0 ) ROM. I then went to an original "RUU_Nike_HTCASIA_WWE_1.31.707.09_Radio_Nike_1.58.16.27_signed_Ship.exe" ROM and the phone hasnt hung by itself in 4 days now. Still hangs when i run a lot of apps but thats not the same issue.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] maciekish:
Lol Phonehouse and Anovo? If u have that in Finland.. because thats what happened to my P4350 here in Sweden.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] mcoquet:
Hi there, flashed with Tom's ROM & the latest Kaiser radio, but still hangs on occasion (mostly while on Pocket IE, but also sometimes just unable to wake up from standby...)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] mcoquet:
just to be sure, when you say "RUU_Nike_HTCASIA_WWE_1.31.707.09_Radio_Nike_1.58.16.27_signed_Ship.exe", does it mean that it is a ROM for use in the Asia-Pacific region only ? Otherwise, since I'm in France, I will give it a try...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] florider:
Same problem with my Touch Dual (Orange).

Config :

Rom : 1.31.73.09 (French)

Date : 31/10/07

Radio : 1.58.16.27

Following the previous answers, i removed the original memory card (1GB) for one week and i didn't have any problem until this morning where the phone freezed again :(:(.

It seems that the memory card presence is not the unique reason for this freeze.

Any other idea ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jekk:
it is getting worse

*bump*

oh guys... i'm really beginning to regret getting this phone, because this freezing issue is getting worse every week. I have to be so careful by doing everyday stuff, just to make sure the device doesn't freeze when I'm on the road and got no time for recovery-reset but just want to USE it.

heavily installing 3rd party apps wasn't a problem on my magician but obviously here it is.

did you notice that scrolling via touchflo still works (very fluidly) in most cases although the device is frozen for anything else? well, this shows that it's some kind of touchflo/display driver/software thing that keeps annoying me that much. shame on htc.

cheers.

Frozing ... uhm ... high CPU Load make this Problem!

Radio Rom can produce the same effect! It is every Time, high CPU load!
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jekk:
yeah, maybe you're pointing in the right direction. because simultaneous to the freezing-hell this afternoon HSDPA support was enabled in my region (never had the "H" icon before) and disabling HSDPA on the nike made the number of freezes drop to a normal level.

But since I would be very happy to surf with 3.6 MBit/s this is very disappointing. Not being able to surf at the advertised speed, I gonna complain at o2 support this time.

Just a side note, I've already disabled the today timeout when i first got the phone and I have also disabled HSPDA. Dont know if it could be these settings?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] cbreze:
Not sure what the today timeout does. Mine has been set at default(4hrs) since I got the dual. Never messed with it. Should I? I am having some more freezeups than before. I hard reset the device and is o.k now. What should today timeout be anyway? Is even neccessary? I am with t-mo, so no 3g for me. :cool:
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] DanneG:
I got my Touch Dual yesterday and after installing some programs I got this freezing problem, i wouldent boot up, the only thing i could see was the windows screen.

Did some test, if I removed the SD card the device boots up, replaced the SD with a new one, still the same problem. Started to uninstall som programs, and after uninstall S2U2 the problem its gone.

Just another input
