By now HTC is well-known for its strange (i.e. non-existent) information policy. But their distributors seem to kid their clients in the same way. My amazon-order already has been postponed a few times after giving me fix dates for delivery. Today I got the same mail as EinSiedler telling me that at the moment they don't know nothing about a forthcoming delivery. At the same time however Amazon changed the availability status of the Shift from "bestellbar" (order now) to "lieferbar ab dem 9. April" (available 9th of april). What is the name of the game they're playing with us? :mad:
[Shift General] EinSiedler:
amazon.de will deliver mine on the 11th of April.

Maybe I order the normal English version and use tipp-ex on the keyboard.....
[Shift General] retir0:
Received the same Email this morning - one day after postponing the delivery date to infinity. Quite chaotic.

But hopefully they are right - this time.

BTW: I assume it's the quertz-version. Anyway: Better we learn blind-typing instead of messing around with Tipp-ex. ;)

Date shifting

Hi,

no, I don't think that it is Amazon. I guess it is the information policy of HTC, but it is another question how the distributors handle their cluelessness. Worst of all is Expansys. For months they have been giving out exact dates olny to put them back when the time arrives.

At the moment is says: Verfügbarkeit (availability): ca. 1 Tag. Just for the fun of it have a look what will happen today or tomorrow. What they do is downright disgusting.

I ordered the Shift with Amazon on 2nd December 2007. For weeks now the date in my account is 8th of April. On their site it is 9th of April, supposing that I am lucky I might get it on 11th of April.

Shifting availability

Hi,

from Amazon I just got this email:

Wir liefern vorbestellte Artikel so aus, dass Sie sie am

09.04.2008 in Empfang nehmen sollten. Wobei wir die übliche

Transportzeit hier miteinkalkulieren und Ihre Sendung entsprechend

rechtzeitig losschicken.

So, if lucky I'll get it on the 9th next month, but who can trust the month of April funniest of all the months starting with the first.

Hi,

I live in Australia and noticed on expansys AU that the Shift is on there twice, one as HTC Shift http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=157607 and the other as HTC Shift X9500 http://www.expansys.com.au/p.aspx?i=165677

All of the specs seem the same except the X9500 has a 40GB hard drive instead of a 30GB and the X9500 is heaps cheaper........

The other thing is Hong Kong sells the X9500 $650 cheaper than the Australian HTC Shift but the language is (Traditional Chinese), what does this mean...... is the operating system chinese only or is the keyboard and everything Chinese??

Does anyone know what is going on here???

Thanks
[Shift General] michael85:
First link is not good, remove the "and" from the link and it's working again :)

As I can see only the HD is different yes.

I think the Chinese version has another keyboard layout. Maybe also the WM is Chinese and maybe also Vista, but can't tell you this..
[Shift General] seal:
Sorry I fixed the first link it had "and" stuck at the end of the address.....

OK, I have found the X9500 in English so the Chinese is no problem now, The HTC Shift in Australia is$2194.95AU and the HTC Shift X9500 in Hong kong with 10GB more is $1511.13AU Thats $683.00 AU difference....... Thats a massive difference for the same device and if you pay less, you get a bigger harddrive...... Something is really strange here.
[Shift General] seal:
For that massive saving I am willing to send it back to Hong Kong for Warranty if something goes wrong.
[Shift General] seal:
I have been sitting here for the last hour searching the net to see if i can find the difference between the HTC Shift and the HTC Shift X9500 and I can find anything.....

There must be something different to justify the massive price difference of over 30% discount.
[Shift General] mw65719:
Special version for Australia???

I am quite surprised about the device on Expansys Australia and would rather believe that they just have the wrong specs.

For all I know, the HTC Shift comes in two models, both equipped with a 40GB harddisk.

The X9500 is the GSM version sold across the globe (except the US where a lawsuit keeps it from being sold officially). Lokalization happens but only affects keyboard layout and software language

The X9000 is the EVDO version for the US

I can't believe that HTC would set up a "special model" only for Australia with reduced specs at a higher price. Why would they be so stupid?
[Shift General] abp:
It would not be the first time they took a strange decision :-)

Hi Onkel Albert,

where have you got it?

I ordered with Amazon on 2nd of December.

I have read your short report in the other Forum. Keep updating your impressions.

Thanks!

they had 2.. both came today and were sold wihin hours. -

Only 2??? Seems that they are serving the german market with homeopathic doses. Maybe to protect us against an euphorical shock. :D
[Shift General] EinSiedler:
At last...

This morning I noticed that my amazon.de order to be delivered on the 11th could no longer be cancelled. And two minutes ago I got their mail that the Shift is in the mail to be delivered on Monday 31st!!!!!!!

Hint for the still unlucky QWERTZ users: Handit.de got their order, too. They mailed all people who preordered asking if they are still interested. Call handit.de on Monday afternoon, there may be some Shift left over....
[Shift General] Settembrini:
Amazon order

Hi Einsiedler,

when did you order with Amazon.

I ordered 2nd December 2007.

S.
[Shift General] EinSiedler:
I ordered 10th January 2008.

Tracking says:

29. März 2008	10:19	---	Transportdienstleister wurde informiert, um das Paket abzuholen.

I hope that amazon is still packing Shifts this weekend...
[Shift General] Pawel062:
for those askin about difference about the shift x9500 and shift.... well there really should be no difference. they are the same shifts. differences just might be the hd and keyboard layouts. the x9500 is just the numbering for the shift. x series means its a high power pc like htc product. the athena is the x7500, x7501, and x7510. those numbers dont mean anything. its like other phones are p4550 etc...
[Shift General] wu5262:
well, there are more difference then that, the sliding mechanism is better on the x9500 (US Version), and the case is different, people who own both have already report that sliding is much better, less bug (they have problems with the shift control in Europe version).
[Shift General] seal:
The US version is the CHEAP One.........
[Shift General] cmonex:
you mean x9000 CDMA version or you mean x9500 GSM version sold in the US?
[Shift General] seal:
Has anyone got a clear difference between the two, I have ordered an Australian Shift and I know alot of other people have orders and if we could find out the differences while we still have the option to cancel the orders and order the other one.

Are there any pictures or documentation, or links to web sites that anyone knows about that show the difference???
[Shift General] wu5262:
let me put it more clear here, there are only two version:

1. Europe and Asia GSM version (HTC SHIFT GSM)

2. US CDMA version (HTC SHIFT CDMA)

x9000 doesn't mean anything, if you know HTC well enough, you know it's just a code for the device, so the two different are indicate by if it's GSM or CDMA.

Basically all device apart from US one are GSM version, which comes out earlier (pass FCC earlier). Please don't consider keyboard layout and language here because apart from that there are 100% no difference between all of them.

Before we move on to smaller difference, the biggest difference of course is the radio. GSM one can not be us in US (CDMA), and CDMA one can not be use in Europe or Asia (HSDPA)

Now US version is more interesting, because the whole FCC issue, they need to release a special version for US, so HTC also got the chance to minor adjust the device, so you will see two noticeable difference:

1. Build Quality is improve, sliding feel more solid.

2. Case is different, you are not suppose to take the shift away from case, it's 'stick' together.

p.s. some user report that the US version run more smoothly and less issue, this could be true again because they have time to adjust it.But since it's down to software so it's hard to tell.

I hope this clears everything.
[Shift General] seal:
So the near $700.00 difference between Hong Kong and Australia for the same item is a massive bonus??

If they are the same, why does the X9500 one have a 40GB HD and the Shift in AU have 30GB or do you think this is a mistake, typing error?
[Shift General] pdagal:
I had both release versions (US CDMA and GSM European) and there was no discernible difference in quality between the two and the slider worked the same. Actually the slider was a little tighter on the GSM version-- it's very tight while the US version was a tiny, tiny bit looser. Both are quite well made.

The leather cover is attached via 3 screws on the US version, and these screws run through the same holes that are on the GSM version (they are where the 2 rear rubber feet mount and where there's a rubber plug on the GSM version). The casing itself is the same.
[Shift General] wu5262:
have a look at this review, they also have both devices.

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/03/25/htc-shift-cdma-review/
[Shift General] wu5262:
it is a mistake, some website in UK also indicate the same mistake, they are all 40GB
[Shift General] pdagal:
WU5262: I've seen that Boy Genius post about their GSM Shift and was quite surprised, though I don't know if he had the release version. That certainly is quite different from my GSM version in terms of build quality and slider function.

Where it not for the screwed on case on the US version and the CMDA vs. GSM label on an LED indicator, it would be very hard to tell the two I had from each other.
[Shift General] wu5262:
They have the public release GSM version because it's me indicate them where to get it in the first place. I personally don't have two machine side by side to play with but Boy Genius post isn't the only one indicate the build quality difference. I have seen it in other places. And people in Engadget have similar finding too. Also from a few video review on the CDMA version of Shift, it does seems like the sliding is tiny better, i can't do a single hand slide down, but it seems like the CDMA one can do it without problem.

maybe CDMA user can test this out, slide out the keyboard with one hand is fine, but try slide it back while holding Shift at 90 degree (so screen facing you, keyboard facing down), place it on a table and use only one hand to push back the device at right hand corner. I personally can't do it on my GSM shift, it will goes into a lock stage where pushing the left corner is no use, only solution is to push back the slide to fully open again and slide it back by pushing it in the middle point.

Video however shows that CDMA version can do it easily while not pushing in the middle point...
[Shift General] cmonex:
OK, this answers, x9000 is CDMA and x9500 is GSM as i assumed originally. thanks

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus - Smartphone de 6.2" (4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, Octa-core 4 x 2.7 GHz, 64 GB internal memory, 6 GB de RAM, Dual SIM, cámara de 12 MP, Android 8.0 Oreo) negro - Spanish version

What do they mean with spanish version? All I want is a S9 Plus with the exynos processor. Will I have a problem with the fact that this one is dual sim, when fashing a exynos ROM downloaded from this forum? I have now a s7 exynos and was easy to find roms for this device. What about the s9 plus dual sim "spanish version"?

Thanks in advance!

It's a Global Model, you'll likely need to change the language to English which is easily done in Settings/General Management. Shouldn't have issues finding custom ROM's for the device. Reference the links below.

What you need:

Odin v.3.12.3

S7 edge sm-g935f Android 7.0 Nougat 01.02.2018 security patch

active sim card to which the operator sends pop-up messages for the cost of the call- required, maybe someone fix on it

FRP Call (by Ginan Sayed Ali(BIRINDAR))

lets go!!

First download 6.0.1 Marshmallow(Android )

For me its:

CSC G935FOXX1BPH1:

updato . com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=5A0A96F8CBE811E69215FA163EE8F90B

unpack.

Open odin.

Select only AP and CSC file.

Go to download mode in s7

Plug s7 in microusb cable

Click start. Wait

After reebot put active sim card.

Make call with frp call by ginan sayed ali to 123456789 (select right COM port in pc)

After call, you get incoming message in pop-up with date about cost (i have this in PLUS GSM Poland).

Click on date, its open call log, click back and add new contact with site web „google.com”

Click on google com and choose Samsung browser.

Search: google account manager. Pick first link, choose version 6.0.1 . go to bookmark, choose history, and pick history download.

Click on downloaded apk file and istall it. Now go back and search quick shortcout maker download and install it.

Open and search google account manager and re-type email and password.

restart phone after add new account ;)

Thats all. Enjoy!

This is my private solution i find this myself for 3 hard days. do it for your own risk. :fingers-crossed:

I used realterm (on pc) to dial, create and edit contact to store google dot com Then i re-dialed this contact, ended the call and opened google. I downloaded quick shortcut maker and google account manager. I then googled Samsung apps, installed es file explorer and installed google account manager. I then installed and launched quick short cut maker but when i searched google account manager 'type email and password' was not displayed, instead it said 'error' i tried installing google account manager 6.0.1 , 7.0. 7.1 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 (anything below 7 would fail to install) but unfortunately all of these led to the same 'error' instead of 'type email and password' anyone got any ideas? I've tried several methods now and it always seems to be the last step i can not perform :( s7 edge sm-g935f

Anyone got a way around this?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Matty1993:
Your doing it all wrong.......

Initiate the call from realterm,

End call

Add contact

Scan buisness card

Download calculator from the galaxy app store

Open calculator

(+300120127+ on the keypad

*#0808# in DR parser mode

Select the option with 4 usb settings

Make sure you press reboot after selecting,

USB DEBUGGING is now on

Make sure you leave it at the welcome screen when rebooted

Download a program for windows that resets FRP through ADB as USB DEBUGGING is now enabled there are a few around but i would suggest FRP hijacker by hagard or GSM flasher FRP program both i have used flawlessly on any marshmallow firmware for samsung using AP SWREV B:1.

Open program plug phone into computer

Press accept this computers fingerprint

Press remove FRP and watch it go from the welcome screen straight to your home screen, factory reset through settings menu and FRP is now completed and all previous users details have now been deleted.

Just add your own google account in the settings under accounts.

enjoy guys :)

How did you do it can you help me? When I end the call I get no option to add a contact how comes?

DR PARSER mode is built into the mainframe under /system/priv-apps i know what the problem was there sometimes when devices are flashed with odin something goes wrong i myself have had this happen dialer codes will not work aswell as DR parser mode codes not working and when access is gained the settings menu are all messed up and jumbled up,

all that is required to fix this error is to re flash just the AP file in odin to correct the error it actually happens quite alot, this will fix and enable dialler codes and dr parser kode codes to work again to enabke dcm+acm+adb ,

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

Your using 7.0 nougat, you need marshmallow 6.0 for the frp call to get add contact,

First thing you need to do is switch your device off,

Once off hold the volume down + home + power buttons all at once until a warning screen is present release the keys and press volume up,

Top left hand corner last line of writing "AP SWREV: B:?"

Whats the number,

AP SWREV: B:1 or AP SWREV: B:2 if B:1 you can downgrade your firmware back to marshmallow 6.0 by downloading the firmware from sammobile or somewhere else make sure it is G930FXXU1ARA1 for the B:1 binary for example make sure it is NOT G930FXXU2ARA1 for example as this is new bootloader and downgrade back to marshmallow is prohibited odin will not allow it you will receive flash error device 2 binary 1 if your already 7.0 U2 firmware it's a lot harder but do able :) hope that helps mate.

So I was trying to restore my rooted p10, I first tried using a twrp restore which didn't work then nothing would boot, so then I decided to reflash the ROM but the software I tried using relocks the bootloader then unlocks it again. So now what I have is my p10 with no custom recovery, a locked booloader and no working os installed. And as I cant boot the phone I cant get the information to get the code to unlock the bootloader. Any one have any ideas that doesn't involve paying for DC unlocker.

thanks

SOLVED: I found the imei on the box and unlocked the bootloader with that info.

well,you have to dload the same firmware you have on your device...

is it the Oreo from the debrand/rebrand thread ?

if not ,go on teammt and dload your firmware...keep it somewhere safe :P

open update.zip and extract it...theres an update.app in there.

get the Huawei upade.app extractor here on XDA just type it in search bar or google it...

open the extractor you just dloaded and clik on settings tab...untick the Veryfy the checksum box and save...

click on extract tab and at far right of Update file box,clik on the .. box to search for your update.app you unzipped

if everything done correctly,all files will apperar...

now just right clik on KERNEL.img and select Extract selected.....................................or you can extract all and save them somewhere safe.

after you extracted the image, you have to put the KERNEL.img in your ADB folder in order to flash it

hope it helps ;)
