[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] v1605IRL:
Hi,

Having an ongoing problem with my tytn / Hermes - Vodafone V1605.

20% to 30% of the time, I try to answer calls with either the green answer button or the soft button [answer] key and I can't answer the call. The call eventually goes to Voicemail.

I can get rid of the problem by powering down or pressing the reset key, but the problem reappears in a day or so.

The problem seems to be worse in the following situations:

- When I haven't terminated running programs - especially Internet

- When I have Data sessions running or checking intermittantly

- When using 3G data.

- When in areas of patchy coverage

- When battery is run down (far too often)

I have tried everything I can to isolate the problem further, but with no luck.

This is a great phone in theory but I can't tolerate losing 20-30% of calls.

I can live with the other problems with the product such as poor battery life and occasional hanging application, once it's not the PHONE application!

I'd really appreciate any help with this as I'd like to keep this phone going, but am close to chucking it:mad:

We bought two of these phones for our company and both phones have the same problem. I have since sent one back and got a replacement which was flashed with a dopod image - but the problem is still on the replacement phone.

Rom Version: 3.54.707.3

Rom Date: 7/5/07

Radio Version: 1.47.00.10

Protocol Version: 32.80.7020.20H

This problem is visible with no additional software loaded - as was out of the box.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wacky.banana:
Have you got any phone locking software in situ, e.g S2U2 or pinlock engaged? If yes you can sometimes have the symptoms you refer to.

Take off all locks and see how you get on.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] v1605IRL:
Hi,

Thanks for getting back, but no, I have no additional software installed.

What's surprising me is that it's happening on 3 seperate handsets used by 2 different users.

I'd always thought that it seemed related to sluggish OS performance when some other applications were hogging memory or processor usage and that there would be some obvious workaround or a registry hack.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wacky.banana:
You could try getting a replacement sim from Vodafone and see if that works. Long shot, simply thinking of solutions.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] howie411:
Just upgraded from a Note 8 to a Note 9. Love it so far, but my biggest issue is OK Google is only working about 30% of the time while using Android Auto. Normally I can say Ok Google While driving and switch to Waze or Google Play Music etc. It worked 95% of the time with the Note 8. On the Note 9 I sometimes have to say it 4 to 5 times to get it to respond. Any ideas?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
You can change the dpi on the stock ROM without ROOT by chaging the "smallest width" setting in developer settings. I have mine set to 550 it's looks amazing!
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
Here is a screenshot of setting menu at 550.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
You could also just change the setting in Settings > Display > Advanced > Display Size > Small
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Celeras:
411 is default. 434 is the smallest you can go to get an extra icon of space on the status bar (meaning you can fit another icon before you get the overflow dot). 453 is the magic number for the notification side. "Small" per the post above is 484.

Worth it, you can barely notice a difference otherwise. Now if only we had an option to do ONLY the status bar... then we'd be cookin. But this will do for now.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
Nope it's not the same. Putting that setting on small does not work on everything. And this way you can go even smaller then the "small" setting.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
I have the setting pure+ posted on normal and put the setting I posted on 551 I feel like that's the perfect mix for me ATM. I will keep playing with it to see if I can find a better combo.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
It actually is. If you change the setting and go into dev options it shows the dpi changed. Only difference is it's defaulting to a predetermined dpi
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
Ah yes you are right. Thanks for the heads up.

The small setting only changes it to 484 too big for me still! I like it around 550
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
Full disclosure I didn't check to verify this, although I already suspected it, until you said something lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
Yeah the olny problem doing it that way is that the change is not enough to really notice a difference.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pr0adam:
unfortunately doing it this way compared to doing it via build.prop makes Swiftkey tiny as well
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
Any one have a suggestion for something in between stock 411 and small 484? Small is just a bit too much for my taste so looking for a happy medium
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pr0adam:
can we change the DPI through build.prop yet now that we have root?

I added ro.sf.lcd.density=550 and it doesnt seem to be doing anything

doing it through the developer options makes the keyboard unusable.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
Which keyboard are you using?

I am using Gboard with dpi set to 551 and its fine.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pr0adam:
SwiftKey but 550 was a bad example. I want to make everything smaller, so I went down to something like 450 and the keyboard was very hard to use. Same with the default Gboard
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
Are you rooted? If so I can tell you how to make gboard bigger but I am not sure about Swiftkey
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pr0adam:
I am rooted yes so I would love to know besides the Gboard setting that increases the size.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] vwgti18:
Here check if this will work for you! This is the method I was using on my pixel 2 xl it worked great, just one issue is sometimes I could not get the txt edit to save and had to edit the line then got to setting and force stop gboard then go back and save the text file.

https://www.xda-developers.com/gboard-tweaks-height-sensitivity/
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pr0adam:
Thanks for that link, worked for me on Gboard. Hopefully there will be a solution that I can still use Swiftkey but if not I will be going this route once I get home and adjust the DPI further
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sharksfan7:
I don't have the Pixel yet & I've never tried changing DPI, so forgive me if this doesn't help or if you've already tried this, but Swiftkey has a setting built in to resize the keyboard. I believe it's normally set at "medium", then there is a "large" & "largest" setting to make the keyboard bigger. Go to Swiftkey Settings>Typing>Resize.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] pr0adam:
Yeah I have swiftkey set to extra large when I change up the DPI and it was still way too small to be usable. Really ****ing annoying
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ambush_boy:
Yeah setting it to 750 is neat but completely impractical
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] ambush_boy:
1440 will make you appreciate all the other choices.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] xxbarrxx:
alright when i first got my phone i never had a problem with a typing delay. but now my phone is 6 mopnths old and i am now having lots of problems. fristly a few weeks ago i had to do a complete factory reset becuse my phone totally went rretarted. i was sitting in a restuarant and i was txting someone and her name is tiffany. i texted her and then the next message she sent me showed her number in stead of her name(like from tiffany now says from 72789846) but i didnt think anything of it like maybe she had her friends phone or something. so i didnt do anything about it. and then i got home that night and fell asleep and when i awoke i had 2 missed called so i clicked missed calls on the htc home plug in and the phone totally locked up. i reset it and upod reset i found that i cannot make calls. cant recieve calls. it said i didnt have service. couldnt go online . lost all my contacts. and the only thing i could do is text. i was furious of course. this would be the second time this year i lost all my contacts! So i called sprint and they could do nothing for me. So i did a factory reset and sucked it up!. this itself is a huge prblem becuase i no longer trust my phone at all. but i reset it and then found the new sprint rom so i loaded that on there (2nd format basicly) and its all good i suppose. its a little bit slower than it used to be. but now my cpu is as 90-95% with nothing running. slowing down my ppc to almost a standstill. it takes a very long time to open anything. but thats not why im bothered. now whenever i type the typeing delay is sooooooooo badd.. i will type a full text message and it wont type anything then i will put my phone down and 5 seconds or so later the message will be typing itself!. i want this to be fixed. also i want to speed up my phone because its very agrivating. a cheap 20 dollar phone is faster than this 350 dollar POS. but i am forced to live with my phone. and its a dam shame because i love the phone. i love everything you can do. but i want to be able to do those things well..i mean i paid 350$ for a good phone not frustration. if anyone can be of assistance please post thank you
[Mogul, XV6800 General] RevSand:
I am sorry, that is one of the hardest things to read I have ever seen on this board. Good luck to you and to whoever can read that and find an answer for you.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] bbawkon:
OP: I have to agree with RevSand.

I Tried - really, I did. But, the simple fact is, my eyes crossed trying to read that ?paragraph?

You'll have much better luck getting a response if you

A) shorten that whole thing to include relevant details

B) don't type it like you're typing a text message

C) Line breaks. Paragraph Breaks.

People on message boards (myself included) generally browse through pretty quickly. VERY long winded and difficult to read posts often get read 5% of the way through, and not finished. I'm sure you can see why this would be detrimental to your getting a response/solution.

Have a great day,

Ben
[Mogul, XV6800 General] c@rL0$:
I suggest finding a reliable ROM from either DCD kitchens or no2chem. Then uploading it into your phone ( sprint rom ofcourse ) maybe the tweaks they have made can help you out.

But if you want to stay at a stock rom ( with out GPS or Rev.A ) im sure DCD has a very stable rom for that too, or you can exchange your phone for a new one if everything else fails.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jamesjay:
I second c@rLO$'s sentiments. I'm using DCD's 3.0.1 ROM and it is great!

The 15 minute solution is to first reflash your phone with the latest Official Sprint Mogul ROM 3.35:

http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=75&act=sd

This will not only hard reset your device (erases all data), it will upgrade both the operating system and the radio. The upgraded radio enables GPS and also enables even faster data speeds.

Copy the .exe file of dotFred's PIM backup v2.8 (for WM5 & WM6)

http://www.dotfred.net/default.htm

into a directory (doesn't matter) on your Mogul and schedule it to regularly, AUTOMATICALLY backup all of your Contacts (and whatever else you want) onto your MicroSD every night.

There is LOTS of detailed information in this great forum about this. For further info on the Stock Sprint upgrade you can also check out:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20641

Depending upon your job or environment, it is possible that you subjected your Mogul to an electric shock or EMP of some sort that might happen again (which could erase or corrupt your personal data), so you probably want to make a habit of backing up/synchronizing your unit with your desktop PC.

If you want to use a customized ROM, I would recommend one of DCD's latest. At the top of the "Titan Upgrading" section of XDA-Developers, you'll see DCD's latest ROM "dcd's titan ROMs & kitchen 3.0.4" or you can do a search for "DCD titan Rom 3.0.1" and select the .exe "Sprint ROM" made by |||bored||| posted by DCD in the first post. These can speed up your device even more and offer some nice features.

However there are some careful (but easy) steps that you'll want to follow when upgrading to a customized ROM, so I strongly recommend reading the forums carefully. I found this one helpful:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17667

Also, because most of the customized ROMs are streamlined to operate faster and more efficiently, some features that you MIGHT want have been disabled or removed. Browsing the forums can help identify how to re-enable/re-install any of these that are important to you. That being said, they've added LOTs of nice features not available on the stock ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Nightxtripper:
Ok so today I went to boost. I bought an S7 with 7.0 on it,

What ways would I go about rooting this, upgrading to OREO and etc. The security patch is also from November 2017.

The reason I'm asking and not just jumping right to it are

1)I know if I update at all there is no root with Sprint.

2)I'm not sure if I'm on a version low enough to unlock the bootloader if I need it.

3)I'm open to unlocking the boot and flashing a 8.0 rom if possible.

Any guides would be greatly appreciated

Alright so I have always used bodyguardz screen protectors for all my devices so I figured I'd get one for my pixel 3 xl too.

I get the feeling that Whitestone Dome will be our only practical option like with the 2 XL. Whatever I got from Amazon is hot garbage as well.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jal3223:
Honestly, I think I would be okay with that. It's much better than the ones with the adhesive only on the sides. Thank you for the pics.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] sn0warmy:
I agree. Given the current terrible alternatives, I think the bodyguardz protector is the best bet to hold us over until Whitestone releases a protector for the 3 XL.

Does anyone have a link for the bodyguardz protector? I can't find it on Amazon.

Yeah, with how well the Whitestone protectors did on the 2 XL, I find it very hard to believe they aren't going to do something for the 3 XL, as well. I'm planning on going with a sub-par protector just to hold me over for a month or so, until Whitestone or something similar is released for a more long term solution.

[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Pure+:
Is the zagg full adhesive? I thought I read somewhere it was. Between that and the $45 process tag and skipped right past considering it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] cursixx:
It's full adhesive and way over priced but I got it with a deep discount. I manage our work Verizon account and picked it up while ordering some other hardware for staff. It does overlap some where the screen curves so there are places it does not stick but covers the viewable screen area. Zagg also includes an alignment tool so that is nice but in short I wouldn’t recommend it at this price point. I’ll try to get some pictures alter today.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Pure+:
Yeah the price is ridiculous. But thanks for the info. I’d be curious to see the pics and see exactly how it fits. I just can’t believe how much these manufacturers are missing the mark... I’ve never bought a screen protector before from either that doesn’t actually fit the intended device
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] Ashen Victor:
I love the ArmorSuit screen protectors. I've been using them since the 6P, after the previous brand I used disappeared, and haven't looked back since. They're thin, fit well with no size/cut issues, have no orange peel effect, rainbowing, etc.

Caught it this morning, but if you order through Amazon, their case friendly fit is dirt cheap, too. $3. Wish this was active last night when I placed an order through their website. Hopefully I get mine shipped soon because the TGSP I got as a temp doesn't fit with a case, and isn't cut properly to account for the slightly curved edges.

I think it will be whitestone also. Mine on the 2 XL was great. I tried the Verizon one for short term protection. They tried to put it on twice but both resulted in raised edges so they are going to refund it. Whitestone tweed this AM they will have it in Nov. https://twitter.com/whitestonedome/status/1053272064881254400
[Google Pixel 3 XL Accessories] jamiejames:
I bought these until Whitestone comes out. I was actually quite surprised how good they were. I mean it's not perfect but full adhesive. Sticks good on the edges. Coating isn't bad.

I'm a screen protector snob and I'm almost okay with it. $7.00 for 3 of them makes a great temporary until Whitestone comes out.

This is great news!

My phone arrives today. I have an IQ Shield tempered glass protector here waiting. However, the reviews of it have started rolling in and they are HORRIBLE (Amazon link). It's so bad that Amazon stopped selling it.

So last night I went up to a Verizon store and picked up one of their pricey tempered glass protectors. It's only going to cover the usable area of the display and probably won't stick in some places, but it will hold me over until Whitestone releases their solution.

I've always used the Spigen GLASS.t protectors but they're not out yet for the Pixel 3. In the mean time, I'm using this ESR Tempered Glass protector...

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H8ZNZJ8

Despite the negative reviews, it's working perfectly for me. I'm using the Google Fabric case with it and my only issue there is that the case lip isn't tall enough so when you put the phone down face down, it's the protector that's resting on the surface. We'll see how long the protector holds up.
