[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
Regarding the battery drain issue, most computer USB ports and non-factory chargers don't give enough power to even maintain (let alone charge) if you have all the radios on. Especially the GPS radio which seems to need a lot of power - I can go all day with the cell and bluetooth radios on and still have 90% charge after 16 hours, with little cell or internet use. But if I turn on the GPS it will be discharged within a few hours.

Computer USB ports are usually limited to 500 milliamps, and some chargers are less, so the only good solution is to only use the factory charger if you have everything on. Turn down your screen brightness, too. I leave mine at 50% both on the battery and when plugged in, except in full sunlight.

As for the GPS reception, its very bad. I have a sirf/star mouse-style GPS unit which locks on within seconds in the middle of the 1st floor of my 2-story house, attached to my Palm or a computer. My X7501 usually won't lock on even when I'm near a window. I rarely have a problem outside or in my car, though. I'm one of many that have reported similar issues.

I usually don't see slowdown issues, but I sometimes do if the wifi or GPS radios are on. Try only running cell and bluetooth for a while and see if that helps. I also found that Opera would slow down more, and then more, and even more as the cache filled up, but that was after I changed it from the default "1000". I cleared my cache and changed it back to the default cache size and I've been fine since.

Hey TnT,

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I'm going to play with it some more. I'm planning on flashing a different ROM, as TT2 suggested.

Which ROM are you running?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] cornelius:
Try PK dual black... but don't for get to Hard SPL...

Please don't install anythink on your Harddisk, just install on storage card... My athena run fastrer if i put seftware on SDcard... If install ti HD it will slower.. i've tried it
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
thanks cornelius, i'm in the process of gathering the info and parts to install a new ROM. I've downloaded the "AP Dual 3.0 ROM" - I think that's the same thing as the PK Dual Black. I've also downloaded the AthenaUnlocker.exe - I think that's the hard spl you mention.

I bought my phone unlocked - I gather that's SIM unlocked, and the AthenaUnlocker will CID unlock it, which is necessary before installing the new ROM.

I'm trying to confirm everything, so I don't brick the phone, but I'm the information is scattered all over the forum and wiki. I found two versions of AthenaUnlocker.exe, both version 1.0.0.0 with different time stamps. I tried to watch a video of unlocking, but there was no audio.

I would appreciate any additional pointers in the process.

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
Im running the factory ROM.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tootallk2000:
Just make sure you've got a fully charged battery before attempting to unlock or flash the ROM. If you have any particular question feel free to jump back in and post it. Oh and btw The PK Dual is what I was talking about in my last post...Sorry if it seemed a bit confusing.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
I'm getting a error when I attempt to unlock my phone.

I ran version 3.12.3.3 of AthenaUnlocker.exe. The error is 202 connection.

the update utility cannot connect to your pda phone. please check that your usb cradle/cable is connected properly between the pc and your pda phone.

check the following:

1. the pda phone is connected to the usb cradle/cable.

2. the usb cradle/cable is connected to the pc.

I know the phone is connected. It is synchronized with ActiveSync 4.5, and it shows that it is connected.

Maybe I don't have the correct version of AthenaUpdater?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
I've made progress with the AthenaUpdater.exe program.

I noticed that I had to take an action on the phone after I started the update process. I didn't notice that before, and there is nothing in the program that tells the user to check the phone.

Anyway, step one completed, and I completed step two.

Now, the phone won't turn on. I remember reading about a special key combination, and I'm wondering if I need to do that to get it to turn on and complete step three.

If I get through this successfull, I am going to update the wiki with a how-to for the next guy new to the Athena.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
I found the key combination to get into the bootloader,

camera - power - reset

I continued with setp three of the AthenaUpdater, but I think because of the errors, the update did not work properly.

The phone will still not turn on.

I can get it to go into the bootloader, but I don't know what to do next.

I would really apreciate if someone who know what to do would post some helpful comments now.

Thanks
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
when I go into bootloader it displays

ATHE100

IPL-V2.02

ATHE100

SPL-v1.20.Olipro

At this point, can I install the AP Dual 3.0 ROM?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
I installed AP Dual 3.0 with no problem.

However, GPS seems to be not working.

Do I need to run the AthenaUnlocker.exe again?

Does that mean I'll have to reinstall the AP Dual 3.0 ROM again?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
Wish I could help you, but I've never updated my ROM. Maybe the version coming on the X7510 will entice me to try.

What error are you getting when you try to run Google Maps? If you get an immediate error, your ports aren't set right. If it spins its wheels for a while the ports are right but the fickle GPS is taking its time.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
Tonight I'm going to try and straighten things out on my Athena.

I hope I don't have to spend hours at it again. It would be great if someone who know has experience with the unlocker and the AP Dual 3.0 ROM could spend a few minutes answer my questions so I won't have to spend a few hours sweating through the upgrade process. Last night I literally was as sweaty as if I had gone for a jog; I was surprised at how stressful the upgrade process was for me (I mean, it's only a few hundred dollars if I brick it, right?)

The state of my Athena now is: I probably botched the unlock process in step two, because my GPS is no longer working.

Can I just run the AthenaUnlocker again, or do I need to first flash back to the original x7510 HTC ROM?

After I run the unlocker again, do I need to flash the AP Dual 3.0 ROM again?

I'm also wondering why I ran into problems with the unlocker, and concerned that I'll just encounter the same problems again. I'm hoping that because I have the AP Dual 3.0 ROM installed, the unlocker will perform differently and without errors.

If anyone is reading this who knows the anwser to my questions, I'd really appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks

Error message???
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
TechNTrek,

Thanks again for pitching in to offer me help.

Good new for me; The GPS started working. Earlier this morning, I decided to try it again outside, giveing it more time, and it connected. It had been bringing up a message screen telling me about connection problems.

I just tried to bring up the can't connect message screen by attempting to connect while inside my house, but the darn thing connected with 7 active satellites, and I can't reproduce the problem now to give you a detailed error description.

So, even thought I got a bunch of error messages during my unlocking process, the unlocking seems to have worked, and it left my Athena in working condition.

Some final notes relating to how I started this thread: now that I have AP Dual 3.0 ROM installed, the device seems to be performing better in all the problem areas I first mentioned.

I tested charging the battery by connecting to my computer's USB port, and, although it is charging slowly, at least it's not discharging while connected.

I think that experience discharging while connected might have been because Opera 9.33 beta was open to a page the was running something - just speculation.

I think it's also possible that I misinterpreted what I saw; it might not have been discharging while connected; instead, it might have been a delay in updating the display of the state of the battery; when I looked at the battery when I first connected to the USB, it showed 70%, but in reality it might have only been 60% charged, and the display had just not updated; then, when I disconnected it, the display had updated to the correct 60%.

Also, I haven't noticed any of the extremely slow performance when open apps or running apps. I did notice that my old Kaiser is a lot snappier than the Athena before I updated the ROM. I'm going to keep an eye on it, and do some more Kaiser/Athena performance comparisons.

I think the Athena may be slower than the Kaiser because of the video driver issue. The Athena has four times as many pixels to render, and the CPU has to do the rendering since the driver that would take advantage of the ATI video processor is absent. Hopefully, that will be fixed soon, as mentioned at HTCClassAction.org. http://www.htcclassaction.org/

I am going to start a new thread on a couple of questions I have. In the original HTC ROM, there was a network program from HTC, and I used it to connect to shares on my LAN over WiFi, and I want to find a replacement for it. There may even be a network program in the Dual 3.0 ROM, but I haven't found it yet.

Also, I love MS Voice Command 1.6 (a version made available in the Kaiser forum - not a more recent 1.6 version for sale by MS.) It works for me on my Wizard and on my Kaiser, but on my Athena, I can't start Voice Command using my Bluetooth headset.

I've searched both of these issues in the forums, but haven't found answers yet. Again, if anyone knows, please help.

Now, I'm going to explore the 3.0 ROM!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tootallk2000:
To get MS 1.6 to work try this:

Delete the paird BT headset, then do a reset on the phone then re-pair with the BT headset. Make sure the headset is not set to (stereo) mode and that should work. I had the same issue with the Jabra BT8010. After doing the above steps the push button activation innitiated voice command.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
Thanks TootTalk2000,

That worked. I have the Jabro BT8010 too.

Have you figured out how to get the BT to work hands free and stereo too?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] tootallk2000:
Yeah, when you set it to stereo however, all the audio gets routed to the BT headset (I personally don't like that, especially when using my GPS) and in order for you to use voice command then you have to take stereo/mono button which is the button closest to the mic on the bottom of the BT, then hit the answer button and you will hear VC prompting for your command. The draw back to this also is that everytime you want to use VC you will have to repeat these steps because the BT defaults back to stereo after you're don't with a voice call.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] xdafile:
ToolTalk2000,

Thanks again.

I didn't have to mess with the stereo/mono button on the Jabra BT8010 when I used it with my Wizard or my Kaiser, and I don't think I would have considered that key sequence to get Voice Command to work with it.

I really appreciate your feedback. I think my Athena is now in a usable state for the way I'm used to working with my previous phones.

When I discovered Voice Command, it was like getting a whole new system; much like watching TV without a remote control, and then getting a remote control; and, once you get used to that remote, you really don't want to watch TV without it again.

Hopefully soon someone will give a feedback about using an external DVD burner on the Advantage too...But for now I can only dream and keep my fingers crossed.

So nothing new or worth updating for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] kangi26:
What's changing: Network performance enhancements, stability improvements, other various updates and fixes, and Android device security updates, including KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability fix and BlueBorne fix (on SPLs September 1 or later)

I'd say that the KRACK fix itself is a good reason to update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Suntzupa:
Happened to me a few minutes ago. Don't do factory reset yet. Use ADB to uninstall the app created by substratum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] Zeab:
apparently all that does is clear your saved certificates. I have been able to disable face scan by turning on iris but that doesn't work so well with my glasses. Face recognition is my preference but I can't seem to get it to enable after update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] iteam:
Shoot! I couldn't wait around anymore without my phone not working and did a factory reset through recovery.... UGH woke up was all restored and I forgot NOT to restore substratum and was back to system ui errors so here I go again restoring without substratum... I'm nervous to reinstall substratum again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discuss] ShrekOpher:
Anytime you do an OTA the Substratum app developers suggest uninstalling all of the themes. Nothing is broke on the device it's just causing an issue with seeing the home screen/settings.

This is also why using ADB to uninstall the layers would fix the issue.

Just for future reference for everyone.

[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] eNickr:
Hello guys,

Today I spent some hours trying to root & recovery a J3 2016 (J320M) and the process is pretty much the same as on almost all Samsung's smartphone, but the files from others threads did not worked.

Disclaimer: you flash these at your own risk. Knox counter will be tripped. Having the stock firmware to hand is also advised.

I advice that if you try to push the recovery.img from others releases (J320FN and else), may result a boot loop. (Like my first try).

HOW TO SOLVE THE LOOP:

- Run or Install SamFirm software;

- Write the model number and set the region. (You will need to google a little to find out what's the name of yours, mine is ZTO -> Brazil).

- You can fill all the boxes or can check "Auto" to skip it. ("auto" always worked to me).

- And than, click on "Check Update".

***Your mobile don't need to be plugged to do the research.

- If the software find a firmware, UNcheck the option "Check CRC32".

- Download and Decrypt throught the software.

- Using any version of Odin v3.09 or higher, connect the device on Download mode and select the firmware on "AP" slot and hit the start.

BEFORE MAKING MODIFICATIONS, IS NECESSARY TO GO TO:

Settings -> Developer Options -> OEM unlocking

AND ENABLE OEM UNLOCK AND USB DEBUGGING FIRST OR YOU MAY ENCOUNTER 'BLOCKED BY FRP LOCK' WHEN FLASHING.

To install TWRP:

Boot to DOWNLOAD mode.

Flash with ODIN in the AP slot.

Uncheck Auto reboot.

Load the respective file below into the AP slot and hit start.

After flashing when ODIN says PASS immediately reboot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN or remove the USB cable and the battery for few seconds before the key combination.

As soon as the screen goes blank change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.

You should now see TWRP recovery not in english.

* To change the language, select the right button and swipe left after the selection. :good:

***IF YOU ALLOW THE TWRP TO AUTO INSTALL THE SU, YOU MAY GET THE BOOT LOOP TOO.

Install the SU application:

Copy to the root of any microsd the file BETA-SuperSU..... below;

Inside the TWRP you have to select the option "Install" and choose the right file.

It's done!
