Not trying to be a flamer here ... but ... you should really learn about your phone stock ... capabilities ... features ... etc. ... prior to doing custom flashes ... especially with the radio ... fortunately for you and me ... it is extremely hard to "brick" a HTC phone ... it may seem bricked ... but I've only ever seen a couple true bricks ... most can be recovered by the heavy hitters here

My point is that you really need to understand your phone and what you're trying to do prior to doing custom roms ... unlockers, relockers, etc. ... this is extremely important when doing radio changes ... fearless and aggressive is no way to approach these changes

And as always .... read ... read ... read ... did I mention READ!!!!!

Again ... not flaming you ... kinda using you as an example so others will learn and maybe keep the number of true bricks to a minimum

I agree, I got a little excited with this and should have taken my time... My last phone was an Apache xv6700 and I had a blast flashing that and upgrading it over the past 2 years. I rushed into it with this one because I'm an impulse guy and had just bought the phone within 24 hours :)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] rokwell:
me too!

could you explain how to use mtty! i "bricked" my xv6900 a couple weeks ago too. its stuck on the rainbow screen with the original spl (took a few flashes to get there)! i tried mtty when i did it and there wasnt a usb option in the program! im running on vista. already got my replacement too!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vogue_brick1:
Not sure how to help you... There was a USB entry in the list when I did it, on XP.

On a separate note, I got GPS working and it's incredible.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vaxick:
Nice to see a Verizon user with GPS working!

Mind posting a little guide? I have my Vogue on order right now and want to update it right away for the GPS.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] vogue_brick1:
Here are the steps I took to successfully get the Verizon hacked with gps:

1. get it hooked up with activesync

2. unlock with imcokeman 0.40 unlocker

(the docs said to flash to the original rom here, but there is no verizon ruu, and my phone auto-reflashed itself anyways and ran customizations)

3. unlock with imcokeman 2.31 unlocker

4. install the alltel RUU (should be in sticky thread)

5. download Build OS from ppckitchen.org and use the updater to get the vogue 6.1 gps 3.02 kitchen

6. pick options and build, flash..

fire open google maps, pick menu->use gps.. magic.

It helped me out of a jam tonight, lost in bumblefukk and found my way back with it.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Tigerjk1410:
could you please explain in step-by-step detail as to how you unbricked your xv6900?

I'm currently working on my friend's xv6900 (TyTN II user myself) and unlocking and flashing roms on this phone is so different (yet kind of the same?) and I'm now at a point where I'm stuck at the HTC startup screen and thats about it. where did you get MTTY and how exactly do you use it? I tried downloading one but it was a very old version (2001) and I'm pretty sure that it's not the one you were using.

if anyone else knows how to unbrick this phone please chime in thanks a lot!
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] fredcatsmommy:
Can you explain what you did after MTTY? I bricked mine, got stuck in the SPL 2.1.1000 bootloader, used MTTY, got it unbricked, but now am stuck at the leaked sprint rom's splash screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Speakers sound muffled?

Speakers sound better after pausing then playing media?

Speakers sound better if volume is maxxed then lowered back down?

If these issues sound familiar to you, then maybe this Magisk module will help. It contains just (4) files from the December patch and has fixed the above issues for me.

Credits: I stole the device and software checks from jtothe4n. Hope they don't mind.

Changelog:

v2: Added 'libmaxxaudioqdsp.so' from Dec 2018 patch - unsure if this made a difference or not since I don't have another device I can directly compare against.

v3: Removed security patch check. I was hoping it would have been fixed in the April update, thus no longer requiring this patch. :(
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] Horoscope:
giving it a try, will revert back
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cstark27:
I just added a v2, which contains the Maxx Audio DSP lib from the Dec 2018 patch. Feel free to try that one out as well.

Speakers sound muffled?

Speakers sound better after pausing then playing media?

Speakers sound better if volume is maxed then lowered back down?

How can this still be an issue? Every month I hope and pray Google fixes this. This is a pretty big bug to me. Always needing to pause, and then play to fix sound. I really would like to know what Google is thinking leaving this be for so long. Sound quality is so important, and this issue really makes using the phone unpleasant when it happens. Is there an official bug report Google sees for this, or is it just up to the community to fix it? Anyone know if it is happening on the Q beta? UGH

EDIT - Seems like Q beta does the same as someone here posted it. https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/aypnuw/pauseunpause_sound_change_pixel_3_xl/

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] zetsumeikuro:
For me this mod makes my speakers sound worse unfortunately. The buzzing comes back with a vengeance, makes it not worth using for me personally. I'll just keep hitting pause and resume for now until lazy Google fixes it.

It's probably due to audio changes that Google did to address the speaker distortion/balance. Speakers are a bit softer but you have less distortion that seems to be the trade off.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dd805bb:
I found a fix and it is already in your phone, go in the Google music app, and turn on the equalizer. Turn it on and change it to something anything. I put it on normal and top speaker no longer is muffled and sounds the same as the bottom. Sounds super clean. I thought I messed my phone up with viper. Uninstalled all that and tried that... To my surprise it worked. Also make sure the apps that play music don't have their equalizer like Spotify. Change that to what you changed the music app. Sounds stupid but works. I was even thinking doing an RMA but this worked. Sounds killer like it is supposed to.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bobbyphoenix:
It's funny that you mention this. I was playing around with both GPM and PowerAMP. I have both installed, and both have their own equalizer set differently. I tried force stopping both so the equalizers wouldn't play into it, but on YouTube the sound still changed at random. I'll try your method to disable PowerAMP, and set GPM to normal. The only other "fix" that works for any period of time is to open an app (like a game or something that plays sound/music), raise the volume to 100%, and then back it down to what I want. That way it stays clear for me. I hope you're solution works better. Thanks for the tip. I'll post my results after a while of using it your way.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dd805bb:
I was tripping that my sound sucked at times and didn't at others. The volume I thought changed it and good to know before I wasn't tripping, it isn't just me. Sometimes before it would sound awesome then completely sound like I blew the top speaker. All funky playing. Since I did that it has tripped out a few times I noticed using talk to text but generally plays like it is supposed to be playing, awesome sounding out of both. I even tried pushing mono audio in accessibilities settings. No change. Found this to be a huge change, changing the stock music app. You don't need to use that app. I didn't enable any of the as location of anything. Just went to settings and just equalizer. I couldn't believe it. Pandora worked great. Speaker for speaker phone even changed to sound better. Let me know if it does help.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

And idiots are Google should of put a native equalizer in settings. Across the board equalizer. That would of been the route to go. For some reason they left that out even though the app is present. So I believe all's the apps do is actually access that audio API for it with no way user to acc ess it. By changing the stock music app it changes the actual music effects app present in phone. Look it is in there. No ui or way to access it.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bobbyphoenix:
Let me first say to the OP sorry for hijacking this thread. I think we should make a new thread on this workaround/fix because so far so good. I haven't done a ton of testing, but all the apps I've used have had steady sound all day since I turned off PowerAMPs equ, and set GPM to Normal (went though a couple of games and apps several times, and usually the sound would change randomly by now a couple of times). I also turned off Bass Boost and Surround sound just to be sure. If it continues to work well I'll start a new thread, and post a link to your first comment on what to do. Great tip so far! Again OP sorry for the hijack.

EDIT/PS: I agree there should be a system wide EQ. That's one thing I always wish for in a stock Google ROM.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] dd805bb:
I was bummed Q didn't have one. And I don't mean to hijack or any disrespect. For anyone reading I have personally never tried this mod. And my experience is not a meant to over shadow this mod and or thread. Just saw others with the same issue is all. And go for it if you want to start a new thread. I am trying on my lady's pixel 2 xl because hers she just told does the same thing.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cstark27:
Thank you for helping out! I added a v3 to the OP removing the security patch check. Inside, I was hoping the April update would have had this issue fixed. -_-

[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bobbyphoenix:
When/what time did the update come out? I just checked, and it's still saying I'm updated for last months release yet. I hope it gets fixed. I've been sending feedback about every other day that it's a huge issue. I'll post my finding once I finally get the May update.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] cstark27:
About a few hours ago. If you have access to a PC/ADB you can sideload the OTA https://developers.google.com/android/ota

Otherwise the OTA will probably go out to phones in the next couple days.
[Google Pixel 3 XL ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Oth] bobbyphoenix:
Got the OTA last night. Had a call today, and the issue started soon after, so it's still there. I've been sending feedback daily. I can't believe they can't fix it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
Which phone will be more long lasting in terms that it will not slow down after Android or Interface (Samsung Experience, One UI) upgrades?

I'm looking between these 2 phones for the one that will have a better

CHANCE

for lasting 5 years being as quick and as “battery life good” AS POSSIBLE.

I think all of us know that the OEMs make our phones slower by patches, upgrades with attached algorithms to slowly month after month (so we couldn’t notice) shorten the battery life, slower the speed and make battery consumption bigger with sole intention for us to buy a new model next year or in the next 2 years.

BTW I don’t need the Pen and I don’t play any games and I don’t need a super good cam. EDIT: no rooting and no custom romming for me on that device for ever.

If I don't need the Pen why to bother with Note you may ask?

Well, I hope that Note being the business phone is going to be treated better by Samsung in the above terms than a Galaxy S phone, but maybe it’s the other way around?

What do You think?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
i'm using a Tab S 8.4 SM-T705 LTE as a daily driver it's coming up to 5 years, it's still going strong! im rooted modded my Tab S is an awesome bit of kit!

Both phones you have suggested, can easily last past 5 years so it's up to you what are you reqiuremnets do you need a S-PEN ? or you into photography then go for the S10+

i'm planning on keeping my Note 9 for next 5+ years! that's if samsung dont put a hole in the display, for the next Note lineup, if they do then this is my last Note from samsung i'm ever purchasing!

if you dont mind the hole punch in the display? Then go for the S10+ as that screen on the S10+ looks awesome! i find it much brighter then the Note 9! Also i doubt i'll ever upgrade my Note 9 to ONE UI PIE 9 it runs super smooth on Oreo 8.1 so i'm sorted for the next half decade!

It's all about personal preference,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
Thanks for responding!

1. As I said I don't need a S-Pen and I don't need a super good cam. So neither drawing nor photo making is my deal. I just want a super fast Samsung phone like these 2.

2. The screen od S10+ looks and feels in touch even absolutley awesome.

3. I'm happy to hear that someone is not laughing that a device would last 5 years..

4. I found out yesterday in shop that on stock rom (Oreo) Note 9 runs smooth but I fear that after upgrading to Pie+ One UI there's going to be at least micropauses, (it freezes for a second), lags, no smoothnes enymore like in S8 that recently upgraded from Oreo. All stock, no root, no custom.

5. Do You think the same will happen to your Note9 after that upgrade? Are You afraid?

6. Is it possible not to accept an Android upgrade in Samsung but still accept security patches? And how can I do it since each time I will me asked to first - upgrade to Pie+OneUI?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
1: S10+ is the one to go for then!

2: That screen is awesome i had a play with one wow it’s really sharp and bright it's an beautiful AMOLED display SAMSUNG nailed the S10+ display!

3: Dude there's nothing wrong with having a half a decade old device! (Please ignore keyboard warriors! Oh no he’s keeping a device for 5 years lol) When people see video playing on my Tab S 8.4 it's so sharp and bright they are shocked how amazing it looks not bad for nearly a 5 year old device!

4: its early days for ONE UI PIE 9 as i did install it only played with it for 24/48 hours! Man they have taken so much away really feels childish! i think Samsung thinks if they copy Apple they will become even more successful stupid way Samsung is going!

5: See my 4th answer early days as i said before let ONE UI PIE 9 get ripe maybe in a few years i'll upgrade!

6: No it’s not possible! Well that's what I’ve heard i could be wrong! Truthfully security patches I’m not bothered about them, there's so many sheep (No offence to anyone) People thinking if they don’t have the latest security patches they will get hacked or owned what a load of bull! Please note Google isn’t no small player! Also please note i do daily banking, Amazon Shopping eBay Purchases, PayPal Transfers purchases random website shopping etc. from my rooted Tab S 8.4 i haven't had no issue never been hacked! And i doubt it ill ever get hacked!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
With all do respect it's harder to get hacked on 1) tablet 2) old 3) rooted and maybe custom romed 4) not so popular compared to the phones we're talking about

besides I think I wrote that I'm not going to root nor custom rom the device ever EDIT: I didn't, I'm sorry, I edited the OP.

1. I know how factinating the screen is but the longivity is my absolute target.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
if i didn’t have the Note 9 i would have gone for the S10+ one thing i hate about these days smartphones batteries are not user removable! My Tab S 8.4 i could easily get 10+ hours out of it hard use!

Now i get around 3 or 4 hours that’s with just under 4000 chargers discharges!

So this time I’m not letting the note 9 drop below 20% and i try not to charge full 100% keep it at 80 or 90% i just want to see few years even 4 years down the road if the battery can give me a easily day use as it now!

Just be careful with battery charge discharges if you really want it to last 4/5 years!

S10 Plus vs Note 9 - The ULTIMATE Camera Comparison! just saw this video as you did say camera!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCrdivAPBuM
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
1. You removed the old battery and bought a new one?

2. I am already careful with that 20-90% but ti's quite hard on S8 with 3000 mAh but I imagine it even could be harder on Note 9 with 4000 mAh.

3. Let me ask You this: On the day of start of sale of Note 9 or on the day of start of sale of S10+ if both devices cost exactly the same would you still gone for S10+ and why?

You could have gone for Galaxy S devices long ago, with S9+ for example or ealier. Why did You even buy that Note9 then if You probably don't share my theory of Samsung respecting the Note users more than Galaxy S users?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
I don't need to watch it. I compered these cams long time while being in a shop.

I don't care how great the winner is. The looser is still so good that I don't care about that.

And I said something about camera (read again please) for people not to try to suggest me getting a Xiaomi POCOPHONE F1 that has Snapdragon 845, from screens on the net it has a good camera and it costs 300 USD.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
1: Nope it’s still the original battery!

2: brilliant i only recently found out 20-80% battery theory!

3: That’s hard question wow I’m leaning towards the Note 9 due to Bluetooth S-Pen it's so cool and real handy in real world use! Plus Note feels more pro type of device! But after seeing the S10+ the other day! Sorry here I go again the screen i know i keep going on about the screen sorry i can’t get it out of my head it's so crisp bright! But the only true upper hand the S10+ has over the Note-9 is the camera setup and here i go again screen and off course the newer Exynos CPU!

4: i did go for the Galaxy S8+ on launch (waste of £870 as I didn’t use more than a handful of times. I swear I didn’t charge it no more than 50 times no lie over a year and some odd months I had the s8+) See all my life i kind of have been a Note user don’t get me wrong the Galaxy S8+ was a brilliant device but dam did I find it real boring! It like felt this phone is not for power users, it’s for the general folk!

i agree with you 100% Samsung Note user do have more respect than there Galaxy S users! Everyone knows! Samsung Galaxy Note Smartphones are for the power users and the business users!

You can truly run a company of the Note 9 it’s got so much power plus DEX plus Linux on DEX! Yeah I know you can get it on the Galaxy S range! But it feels more premium when it’s running on the Note sorry to sound geeky but you can’t mess with the Galaxy Note range as it’s in the league of its own!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] androidbadboy:
1. wow, just wow!

2. Me too.

3. I don't mind that you bring it up often cause I also was paralyzed when I saw and touched S10+ screen with my bare hands and it totally ruined my plans for quick decision making. I was mezmorized just like You and yeah the Note 9 ' 10nm Exynos vs. 8 nm Exynos in S10+ that makes it even more harder cause the seller told me it's the first Samsung SoC that took the idea of AI seriously, however I don't believe in this hardware-software AI marketing BS. It's just good software algorythms and all - like the ones that make photos better and find faces on camera app. The newer Exynos is just better case it's minus nm and its newer a probably better.

4. I'm shocked how we share very simillar experiance and way of thinking. My S8 was long on the shelf aswell. I agree with the rest.

5. Can You please tell me if I order Note 9 in 1h what are the names of these DEX devices to put into the cart that are for Note9 deigned. I will get a % off then. I don't have time to check it now on line cause there's too much of this and Samsung always changed something in names depending on which type of flagship and generation it was.

6. I share real conceirn about not accepting any update after potentially purchasing Note9 - cause the first will probably be the Pie+OneUI ****pack.

7. Please tell me in short about Linux on Dex that you mentioned. What's that about?
