Thats because most people don't realize the capablities of what PPC's can do man.. It's honestly not their fault. As normal default our phones vs Iphone, no offense mate. Iphone rips this **** to shreds..

And I am only talking about OUT OF THE BOX default...

But if we're talking about people like us, who know about technology, and understand the capabilities of what a PPC can do. Then yes, obviously the PPC kills, crush, destroys any other phone..

You gotta remember, majority of people don't know **** about technology.. You shouldn't hold it against them, honestly they can't be bothered to learn, it isn't their hobby. its ours.

Nooo don't do it!

Whilst I love my Kaiser, I can only see this being detrimental to all of the good work over at htcclassaction.

I'm not one of these people who state they wouldn't ever buy another HTC phone, the video issue doesn't really bite at me that much and personally, it's the best phone I've ever owned. I'd never admit that to HTC because it's not all that it should be. Now if they release proper drivers, I'll vote for it :)

That depends on who is voting really, if it's consumer, then they bought the product, they experienced it and felt one way or another about it. If they feel inclined to vote it as best 'whatever' of the year and apple wins, then surely apple is superior, their product may or may not be but thats just a matter of opinion really.

I apple is like Marmite, you either love it or hate it (and if you really feel strongly about that go here http://www.marmite.com/ :D).

Thats just my two pence worth anyway

LMAO, true, true. I don't know about can't be bothered though, don't need to I think is more accurate. For most people these things do just what they want them to. They look flashy and all of their mates go "Wow, thats cool. I want one of those", another Happy customer.

Why should I vote for something that is slower than my old 8125?

The only advantage of the kaiser is the gps...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jon_k:
Sounds like you describe the voting system in the U.S.! ;-)

I agree, Apple's products always have a cult following and Apple always shows up as #1. Perhaps they are #1 for buyers, but the products never seem to align with my needs. A locked phone that requires jailbreaks and other underhanded tactics to use is nothing but a pretty brick to me.

Also the Asus EEEPC or whatever, that looks like a small factor laptop not a mobile phone. Does that thing even support GSM networks? Why is that in there?

I'm unhappy with my Kaiser performance, but still happy I have it. I voted for Kaiser, because the iPhone and that EEEPC is a brick for me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] wizzzard:
Does that apply to SIM/CID unlocking, ROM ripping too? How many of us on here are actually using stock unmodified phones?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Jimmyy:
Oooh... it was tough deciding between my Asus eee and my Tilt... but I voted for tilt XD

Only downside is Engadget (as much as I love it and read it everyday) is Apple-Fan Center. Good Luck fighting them fanboys :S

[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] Jasonls221:
So I unlocked my bootloader and for some reason the USB stopped working with any computer and any USB cable. I don't have enough money to repair it so is there any way to root it without connecting it to a computer with a USB?

I have another phone so this doesn't need service if that's a problem.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] iamtheshankar:
No you can't root without PC.
[Sony Xperia XA Questions & Answers] Jasonls221:
I'm not talking about rooting without a computer, I have access to a computer I just can't use the USB so is there something like remote adb or a way to open the phone and repair it without paying for parts? I have flux, solder, and a soldering iron.

Review (part 2)

Benchmarks

I have used 3DMark, AndroBench, Antutu Benchmark, Epic Citadel, GeekBench 4, GFXBench, PCMark (Work 2.0, Computer Vision, Storage & Work 1.0) and Vellamo to stress the device to the limit. I won’t test Games or Video Playback because there are already some related tests included in these Benchmark suites.

3DMark – GPU Performance is as low as all other MT6737 devices.

AndroBench – Internal Storage performance is excellent considering the CPU.

Antutu Benchmark – I won’t say a lot about this benchmark, this isn’t as reliable as others. I’m providing this just for benchmarks lovers.

Epic Citadel – As you can see, 3D performance is barely sufficient for smooth light gaming.

GeekBench – CPU Performance is nearly as good as other CPUs with the same configuration (4x Cortex-A53), enough to handle almost every type of basic activity.

CPU

Compute

GFXBench – The same thoughts said for 3DMark are valid here.

PCMark – Good Overall performance, the maximum obtainable from this SOC.

Work 2.0

Computer Vision

Storage

Work 1.0

Vellamo – Being an super-heavy benchmark, you can clearly see why this device needs to be considered as low-end.

Conclusions

The CUBOT H3, or H2 Mini 2017 as i call it...a device that confuses me slightly when compared with the predecessor H2. I appreciate that companies still work on 5 inches devices in order to cover all kinds of users, but a 5 inches device with such a big battery...isn't the best idea in my opinion, especially because by decreasing the capacity to, let's say 4300mAh, you can make the device way slimmer and lighter.

Still, as is, it is not a bad device, since it features a great back camera, strong battery life and high-quality screen panel. If an OTA Update improves both earpiece and speaker quality, it may be considered as one of the best 5 inches mediatek-based battery phone.

Something sure is that, if you are a CUBOT H2 user, unless you want a smaller device, then i can't recommend it at all, otherwise, if you are looking for a long-lasting 5 inches low-cost device and nothing better is available for the same price, then i can say that it can be considered.

Pros:

Notification LED

Real Dual-SIM (indipendent slots)

Excellent Screen Quality

Clean Android OS with no bloatware

High-End Antennas Reception (WiFi & 4G)

Cons:

No Gyroscope & Magnetometer/Compass

Real Battery Capacity doesn't match the declared value

Some quality issues here and there (at least with my unit)

Non-sense downgrade from 5.5 inches to 5 inches (compared to the H2)

Disappointing audio quality

I bought this phone and for the price I am very satisfied with it. Though I'd like to switch from stock Android to some custom ROM. Are there any ROMs available for the cubot H3?
[Device Reviews and Information] ipk01:
Hi ... I have this phone and am (was) very happy with it. Unfortunately I have in an attack of ignorance flashed the nvram, so the imeis are lost. I think I have tried all and everything now with sp_flash tools, android tools, sn_write and engineering mode to get the imeis back but to no avail. The last resort I see would be would be, if somebody were willing to let me have his nvram.bin such that I could use that to restore nvram and THEN try to change the imeis back to my own (happy, of course to receive an "edited" nvram with dummy imeis). Or if there were somebody here who has succesfully solved that same issue and can tell me which of the 99 methods out ther would really for for exactly this phone. Short of that I will buy a second one, grab the nvram off that and the resell it.

Can someone tell me the exact type of USB connector is on the Samsung Galaxy View. Then manual only says

it's a USB connector V2.

I've ordered the device but have not received it yet. But trying to determine if the connector is USB v2 or micro USB connector?

Want to plug in an ethernet adapter.

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy View Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidman666:
The port is micro-USB (not to be confused with mini-USB). Although most stores don't mention it, most reviews do. The Gizmodo review even has a close-up picture: https://gizmodo.com/samsung-galaxy-view-review-i-love-this-magical-slab-of-1740835366
[Galaxy View Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbogusbaxter:
i would recommend grabbing a micro usb "cable" OTA adapter - you can utilize it for all usb storage, upgrades, etc, etc.... they make a hard snap in adapter but use caution on them as for as easy as they snap in , they also snap out breaking your port with it. The cable adapters are way more flexible and with the tablet being so large in the first place it really doesn't make a difference if it's dangling on the side.

I want to buy LG V20, but I can't choose between H910 and VS995. I need stable in 3G networks.

What will be better?

sorry for my English
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Paapa:
Depends on what carrier you're using. VS995 will be less compatible with other US carriers so you would want to stick strictly to verizon if you're getting it. If you're looking for support for other carriers go with either t-mobile h918 variant or us996 US unlocked (NOT US CELLULAR). If you plan on rooting these models are currently being supported with stock and custom ROMs.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Ed_Shedisson:
The VS995 and H910 models support the frequencies I need. And if you look at the two, which is better? Root and Custom ROM's are needed
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] runningnak3d:
Since you are looking to root, the H910 is the only model that is still rootable on the latest (v10r) firmware.

For VS995 Dirty Santa does not work anymore?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Obamaloominaty:
If you get one that hasn't been patched for DirtySanta (pre-10P I believe) it works. The newest versions has AntiRollback so you can't go back to a rootable firmware so just make sure you get one with the proper firmware.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Ed_Shedisson:
does this apply to both models?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Obamaloominaty:
No, this only applies to VS995. As far as I know H910 is still rootable on the latest firmware.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jbarcus81:
Anyone post some benchmarks! I personally don't hold a lot of stock in benchmarks but am curious about what other folks are getting... To me, this seems rather low but I'd like to see some others to compare...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] KonoeKyon:
Not much better here, but like you said I don't hold much stock in benchmarks. Especially something like geekbench..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] jbarcus81:
Unless it's total bias from the application. Should we not be rolling with the results? Shouldn't they be higher? Fastest chip available currently... Other specs... Just seems low...
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] KonoeKyon:
Too much can influence the results of benchmarks, like a random background app using up CPU cycles. Geekbench also isn't that reliable IMO anyway, they test difference cpus differently which make it look like the iPhones are as fast as laptops with core i7 processors which couldn't be farther from the truth.

Coming from the note 4 I recall how long it took to get root on retail edition, just wanting to know if I have to worry about retail versus developer editions still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] _Dennis_:
No such thing as developer edition now.

Verizon retail and Samsung retail are the same, minus the Verizon bloat on Samsung. You can not unlock the bootloader on either. You can root them so long as they are not updated to the Nov update.

I accidentally made my secure boot pin letters instead of numbers. I can enter twrp by typing the corresponding letters to my intended numeric pin. However, on android boot a full keyboard is not present and I can only enter numbers. Therefore the pin fails every time! I already deleted lockscreen.bd and did a full wipe. Ideas?

Each number represents 3 letters. Use the corresponding numbers at secure boot to match your alphabetical pin.

So yeah, I've rooted my Xperia a long time ago and today I was deleting some apps when I accidentally deleted the theme I was using, Sapphire iirc, and the phone instantly became as what I've described in the title. I can only scroll the quick settings down (and then go to settings and such), but the rest of the screen is all black, no menu, no apps, no nothing. Locked screen works, it shows the lock screen image as usual but as soon I unlock the phone it's back at it.

I've tried some stuff out, like downloading new themes but I can't move them to a folder which would made them recognazible as a theme, can't seem to boot in recovery mode either.

I'm a bit stuck here, any help? Here's how it looks:

Dear XDA-Developers,

As a volunteer for a project i'm making a webapplication which is controlled by a pocket pc.

To make it useable for people i want Internet Explorer to start automatically on the boot of the device. That on itself isn't that hard, i know.

I need IE to open a specific webpage, and go in full screen mode.

Maybe it's not that difficult, but next to webdeveloping, i can't make software etc. so i was hoping someone has a solution for me. It would be a big help.

Thanks in advance.

You can use Resco Explorer to make a shortcut like this:

THIS is how to start Pocket IE in FullScreen mode

I'm sure this is waaay too late for your project, but for the sake of posterity (and for the search engine) here is how to start Pocket IE in FullScreen mode...

It's in the registry- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main

the key is a DWord called "FullScreen" set it to 1.

Obviously, if PIE is already running (minimized but not closed) you'd have to kill the process, write the registry entry, then open PIE. PIE retains the fullscreen setting until you change it (either via the registry or by exiting fullscreen mode within PIE) but it couldn't hurt to check the registry value before firing up PIE.

All of this easily done via Mortscript. In the case of a console-type app that runs on startup and you want the user to stay in that app (and out of the rest of the system), you'd want to check periodically to make sure PIE was the active window, and activate it if not. You might also want to prevent access to the PIE menus (via the SoftKeys) and also the Start Menu button. I'm sure there's a util somewhere to disable the HW buttons, but off the top of my head, I can't think of any.
[AT&T HTC One (M9)] Saam_ha:
Hi Folks,

I have an HTC one m9 which has originally been locked (S-ON) by AT&T. I bought the phone here in Canada. I wanted to update the phone with the latest Android update. After facing some difficulties, I successfully updated the phone to latest ROM ( 3.38.502.41) before Android 7.0 Nougat 4.27.502.7. Long story short, In order to update to 4.27.502.7, I tried both RUU and OTA zip methods using "fastboot flash zip ", "adb sildeload", but due to S-ON, I could not achieve my goal.

I contacted AT&T folks and they generously gave me the "unlock code". But here I have a bigger issue. Based on AT&T instruction for unlocking HTC devices, you should have AT&T sim ( which basically I don't have one). I even tried putting other Canadian-based sims on the phone, but no "unlock code prompt" popped up. Is there any other way to get the phone ask for unlock code?

Thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] parshakov:
Hi, I'm the developer of the Always-On family of apps. The apps display information like speed, pace, and heart rate while keeping the device awake. They all have features that minimize power consumption and prevent screen burn-in. Although I use the apps regularly myself and patch bugs as soon as I find them, many features and improvements have been implemented based on user feedback and feature requests, so I'm hoping I will get even more feedback on this forum. The posts to follow will contain app descriptions and screenshots. All the apps except Always-On Speed Pro have demo versions.

Note: the iOS version of Galaxy Store does not have paid apps. Unfortunately, there is only one way to install paid apps and it requires an Android phone and a couple of full resets of the watch. It should take around 10 minutes to get the paid apps you want running on your Samsung smartwatch paired with your iPhone:

0. Back up your smartwatch: on your phone, open the Galaxy Wearable app → About Gear → Back Up and Restore → Back Up Data.

1. Pair your watch with an Android phone (borrow one from a friend/family) instead of your iPhone. Note: this will cause a full reset of the smartwatch.

2. On the Android phone, sign into Galaxy Store using your Samsung account (the same one you used on your iPhone).

3. Purchase the apps you need in Galaxy Store on the Android phone, install them just in case. Make sure to check out my other apps not available on the iPhone, like Always-On Speed Pro or White Light Pro.

3.1 (optional). Rate the app.

4. Pair the watch with your iPhone again (this will cause another reset).

5. Restore your smartwatch to the previous state: on your phone, open the Galaxy Wearable app → About Gear → Back Up and Restore → Restore Data.

6. On your iPhone, go to Galaxy Store → Menu (three dots in the search bar, top-right corner) → select "My page" → "All". You should now see the apps you purchased and be able to reinstall them on your Galaxy watch paired with your iPhone.
