[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] phamine:
I received the RMA a week ago and the issue was still ongoing; losing GPS lock when opening google maps.

However, with the update to Android 8.1, the issue has been fixed for me. Used Google Maps over 20 times yesterday and did not once lose GPS lock.

Can anyone else confirm?

I had to RMA my original phone, the second unit I received still have the same issues, but less frequently. Ill wait for 8.1 before I RMA the phone again.

Its nearly easier to flash a custom ROM, unlock bootloader via "fastboot OEM unlock"

Follow install of latest twrp official follow instructions to install the latest 15.1 linage ROM remember to be using fastboot boot recovery-xx.img for flashing. A/b partition's have been quite handy to unbrick this device multiple times, I've had quite a lot of trouble learning this device but getting there just takes time :)

Hello,

I want to put my 5th generation tablet in Fastboot mode. (I tried through recovery and system) but it won't get me there.

I tried volume up and hit the power button, but it starts and bootloops. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance,

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
If it starts and loops when attempting to access Fastboot then the bootloader is likely damaged. If accurate there is no known recovery on this device.

My battery life on screen time alway 3-4hrs only as following .. it is normal ?? Cos i notice many people will get 5 to 7hrs screen on time.. pls adviceView attachment 4310563View attachment 4310564
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mrnovanova:
Normal is relative. Is it a bit on the low side? Most definitely. Normal? Maybe. It really comes down to the apps you have and how you use your phone. I personally get about 5hrs SOT and I'm fine with that. Standby drain is more important to me than SOT. There are battery saving tips and trick you can try to google or youtube.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CalvinL:
My phone drains like 3% per hour on IDLE. I don't have AoD nor anything in particular that should be causing this drain. I have no idea why. The battery life seems to be fine for actual usage, but teeeerrible for AOD.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] mrnovanova:
3% per hour no AOD is bad. You have an app causing major drain for sure. You might have to deep dive in your battery stats to find the culprit. Last resort would be safe mode to see if your able to reproduce the issue. You should go to the battery life thread and ask around.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CalvinL:
I'm not sure what it could possibly be since my old Note 8 did this too, but it alternated every other cycle or so where it would drain less than 1% or 3%+. I exchanged it for a new one and this issue is happening again except it was completely fine for the first week or two. There was no app that I downloaded between the time that it was fine and not fine.

I guess I'll repost this in the battery thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] masri1987:
i am not losing battery overnight as much as you guys, my problem now is i can't get 6-7hrs of sot anymore, 4-5 is as much as i get, and it's only 1 month old.

Has anyone installed it? Any thoughts??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wisniak:
Installation went smoothly, but...

I've been experiencing SD CARD2 problems with this ROM...

Had none with the original AT&T ROM.

Further, when I try to install Dutty's or Schaps' comm managers, I receive the following error message:

installation was unsuccessful. the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.

What is it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] XtreMe_G:
you need to close comm manager, make sure its not running.

And how come this didn't happen with the previous ROM?

Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Fitipaldi1:

This is what shows up on my Tilt after the ROM upgrade

ROM 1.62.502.0

ROM Date 01/17/08

Radio 1.27.14.09

Protocol 22.45.88.07H

After the initial setup, I performed an SR after 3 seconds, in order to prevent the loading of the customizations.

Here's the memory status:

Memory storage: 124.91, in use 10.07, available 114.84

Program memory: 101.38, in use 27.59, available 73.79

The main issue I'm having is the SD CARD2 problem, which has popped up about 10 times in the past few hours.

I performed an HR and reinstalled everything, but it still occurs quite frequently. I had no such issues with the previous ROM.

Possibly there's a setting to be tweaked with the Schaps utility or Kaiser Tweak?

That is a picture of the old ROM. Please read the entire web page at HTC and you will clearly see the new ROM version.

Sprite Backup?

Greets,

The AT&T instructions say you can do a Sprite Backup and then Unback it once you install the new ROM. How can that be, though ... won't it mess up all the registry settings required by the new ROM?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nikescar:
When you do a Sprite back-up I'm pretty sure you have the option of unchecking (turning off) backup of the registry.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jdmba:
I hope not

Good gosh I hope that's not true. If we did not back up the registry then 100% of the preinstalled programs would not work once restored, making the process meaningless.

Anyone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
Hi:

Can you please let me know where you read the new ROM version on that page? I have read and reread and just don't see it. I too see the version that Moddin posted the screenshot of, which is also the version I have currently installed.

Sorry, I'm confused.

Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] nikescar:
Holy crap someone just said "gosh"

Considering the red check marking the box next to "Registry" I would say it is true. If you want to keep your file system intact you should be able to keep the "File System" box checked.

Haven't tried I'm just looking at it and reporting what I see.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wisniak:
They meant that you can restore the My Documents ONLY

Technically, you're right, and you can restore evrything, including system settings.

But at least SPB Backup allows you to restore only certain parts of your system, and that's what you should do(and I'm quite certain that Sprite Backup allows for this too).

Otherwise, you'll screw up your PPC and will need to perform an HR (no permanent damage will be caused).

Old ROM version New ROM Date

After flashing the updated ROM and then perusing this thread I took a look at my Device Info and saw:

Rom Version 1.57.502.2

Rom Date 01/17/08

Radio version 1.27.14.09

Protocol version 22.45.88.07H

A little odd me thinks.

Re-Flash No Restore Rom at 1.62.502.0

I re-flashed the phone and didn't do a restore, didn't load the AT&T software and manually installed my apps. System comes up with Rom version 1.62.502.0 now. Everything seems to work fine. I did not notice any specific improvement in video rendering as someone asked, but I've never thought it was very bad as long as the video was at the Tilt screen resolution.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ewingr:
I'm going to watch for just a bit and see if it appears worth the effort.

Some of the posts here about using the Sprite restore leave me a little confused. When I do it, I'll keep notes of what I do and if I find anything interesting to share on the process to get all back, I'll post.

On the topic of version info at the download site:

There is a big bold box titled "Please read the following important..." drawing your attention away from the first paragraph in the first place. The print screen is very misleading. Right where it talks about be sure you aren't using the same version you are downloading, and they have a print screen you would think that is of the new version to compare your version to. But it isn't.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wisniak:
It seems that the SD CARD2 problems were related to Messaging

Or rather, to the location of the emails and attachments.

Initially, I defined their location to the SD card.

A few hours ago, I changed the location to Memory, and the SD CARD2 problems have stopped (touch wood).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] plfinch:
I installed the new ROM (and bloatware) last night and now have several hours of active use behind me. I have not noticed much difference except for two things... The temporary non-responsiveness that occassionally occurs, especially when opening several pages simultaneously in Opera Mobile, now only lasts a couple seconds versus many seconds before the upgrade. I also noticed improved camera responsiveness but this is likely due to the new HTC Camera cab that has been floating around but I never installed.

I did a Sprite Backup (6.1) but did not attempt to restore and instead reinstalled all my apps and resynched my data.

The phone firmware change has not provided any noticeable difference.

After I flashed the new ROM it showed version 1.62.502.0 in Device Information. After restoring my Sprite backup it was back to version 1.52.502.2. Turns out its just a registry key. Go to HKLM\Software\OEM and you'll see a key named ROMVersion. Just change it to represent the new ROM version and Device Information will read correctly. :D

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jay2TheRescue:
Probably, but you still have the unlock code, right? Personally whenever I get a phone unlocked I take a labelmaker and stick a label with the unlock code on the inside of the battery door in case I accidentally lock the phone again I have the code. I've never needed it, but its always good info to save.

Exact same thing happened to me. I poked around and found mention of \windows\appdb\selector.utf.

Each midilet has an entry with several settings, among them preinstalled=Y and removable=N.

After closing the Java VM I copied selector to my desktop, made a mack-up, and used a hex editor to chang them to preinstalled=N and removable=Y (just changing one or the other doesn't allow you to uninstall them).

Copied the file back to the phone and presto, I was able to uninstall them.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] conklin94122:
I experienced the same joy, had to do a hard reset.

I didn't feel like trying to install the parts of the backup one at a time until I figured out which was screwing things up so I just reinstalled everything fresh.

Well, I have all my CAB files and misc documents backed up. I'm ready to do this thing.

However... how do I only back up my contacts? I really don't want to go through the whole process again. I have Sprite, but there's no clear-cut Contact portion. I can't use Activesync since I use an Intellisync program at my work.

Camera updated

I just flashed with the new rom.......WOW! At least on my

phone, the camera is 100% faster! It's almost like having a completely

different camera! No lag, and takes pictures MUCH faster.

Other than that, I haven't noticed anything.

Sprite backup got everything back except for the 3g splash screen.

Had to edit the registry to fix that.

and is the only benefit so far making the camera more responsive? oh wait and making the Windows folder open quicker?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Denoh:
Still unswayed about the benefits of the upgrade. Is it true that the upgrade now makes it easier for AT&T to figure out if you are using your device for tethering to your laptop and charge you for it? I would hate to pay extra for the few times in tether while at the airport waiting for a flight.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] cincy1020:
Hi:

I believe you are thinking of WM6.1, which apparently will allow ATT to see if you are tethering, but this is still WM6.0, so it should not affect that.

One large benefit I noticed is how quickly screens change when I tap to open something. For example, I use SPB Mobile Shell menu. It has this cool feature, where when you click on an icon, for example a folder for organizer, the folder opens and you see a letter inside before it opens next screen. Well now my screens change so quickly I never see the icon action anymore. And I am NOT sad about that, lol.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Memnoch30:
What? Are you serious? I just tethered yesterday to download a 2MB .cab file that PIE couldn't load (garbled text instead of getting the save as prompt). I really hope I don't get billed for 2MB's just this once. Now I have to go check what the overage per meg is...ugh.

Im am really new to this whole flashing thing and was wondering if I have HTC Home Theme and various cabs installed and use sprite backup. Will everything come back the way i have it now? I have all of my pictures on my computer and other than that i dont know what else to save and most all of the programs are saved/installed on my sdcard. If my contacts are on my sim card im guessing im not going to lose any contacts ( am i wrong)? Sorry for the stupid questions but just trying to not f*** up my Tilt.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] snooginsguy:
Here was my experience:

I backed up with Sprite Backup, and then ran the ROM upgrade. I immediately un-backed (is that a word?) the backup, and my phone acted weird. No H for the HSPDA connection, my Start menu was screwed up, it gave me a different phone ID for Activesync, etc. So, I hard reset, un-backed the same backup, and it pretty well went on fine. That is to say, all my programs seem to be working, contacts, calendar entries, etc. all ended up back on the phone, no big deal. It did insist on resyncing all desktop services as soon as I plugged in to the PC, but it does that anyway whenever I do an un-backup.

For what it's worth, I have noticed improvements in the speed of things, particularly the camera (as mentioned before) and also the screen rotating when popping out the keyboard - goes really fast, even when switching back to portrait.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] SlimJ87D:
no, because it'll just do what you did to it when you frist turned it on, load a bunch of crap from ATT. But if you hit the soft reset when it says "3 seconds" or something like that, then your device will be just like a kaiser and have nothing on it.

SO far i've noticed that it works a bit faster and more better without the ATT CABs and the new rom, so go for it man!

I didn't Sprite Either

I flashed the AT&T upgrade over the weekend (sorry ROM Cookers --- I am not ready for that step yet). I did not undo a sprite backup, and cannot imagine how a sprite backup would actually work.

I just reinstalled my apps, synched, and went on my way.

It is running faster, and gets the GPS lock faster as well.
