[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ekerbuddyeker:
Some friendly advice to anyone thinking of getting this machine. DON'T! I have spent a month of misery with it and I keep going back trying to get it to work, but finally i haver put it back in the box.

This device really dissappointed me. on the face of it specwise, it should be the best device out there, but the ROM just is not stable and some apps (notably Igo8, or googlemaps locate me) simply do not function at all. Its like they built the hardware but never completed the software. it ships only with WM6, has no 'eye candy' like HTC devices (and look at the black dialler! its like something from a test ROM that they forgot to remove!!), or Samsung devices and doesnt support greater than 2GB SD cards (and I have tried EVERY SDHC driver out there, none are stable). even Outlook isnt stable. After i sync'd (approx 5000 contacts), it can take up to TWENTY MINUTES for the device to stabilize and function properly. Until then, it just hangs (terrible if you want to change the battery). At first i thought it was the SDHC driver, or the HTC home or other apps I had installed to make the device useable, but after hard resetting and just syncing outlook, it turns out that large outlook syncs ARE a problem (and not one I have ever had with another device). I wasted DAYS trying to get this device to function properly and finally gave up (preferring to stick with my Samsung i780 which is the most stable WM6 device I have ever used).

Add into the mix that imate are totally unresponsive to requests for SDHC drivers, or fixed ROMs and this is a total white elephant of a machine, that by the way I just can't seem to find a buyer for online!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ginloin:
I guess everyone's experience is different. I have had this device for around a month also and it's easily the best, most stable windows mobile device I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. I have my ROM almost full with apps and it is completely stable, including TomTom 6, which works fine. I'm not sure why people instantly blame the device rather than considering their own software and configuration first but anyway...just wanted to say my experience, and that of many others is quite different.

The SDHC thing is true, and annoying. Only a max of 2GB for now, but there is a ROM update coming to fix this. Let's not forget it's only been out just over a month or so! Patience. Other than that mine has been great.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ekerbuddyeker:
i think you are the lucky one. i have seen elsewhere on the web many complaints about the device. maybe its the hardware? Q: do you have a lot of outlook contacts?

I think there isn't a device available where you won't find people with issues. Look at the Tytn II - opinion ranges from those that want to marry one through to those that that consider it the greatest crime perpetrated on 21st Century humanity! :) Definitely, there are people that have complained about the 8502, as there is for every device out there, but there is a whole bunch of people also that love it. I'm not dismissing your problems, but it's a bit extreme to tell everyone never to buy one based on your bad experience, as though it was an objectively established fact that this phone is a dud. Apart from the SDHC issue, which I'll admit is ridiculous (but is being fixed in the next ROM update), many people are using it and loving it. It is packed with features, has a great form factor and has been more stable than any device I've ever used before. Overall, I love it! But again, only my experience. Doesn't mean everyone should go out and buy one either!

I have quite a few Outlook contacts but admittedly not 5000! Maybe 1000 or so I guess...so certainly that could be a point of difference.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] too.many.gadgets:
I'm in two minds about the 8502. I too thought it was great until I installed a few programs and it all turned to s*&t. 3 hard resets & a trip back for repair and it still regularly crashes - at least twice a day. I even left the device with only two bits of software, Lotus Traveler & tMan (task manager) & it still is giving me a headache.

One of the things is it seems to go nuts when the battery is low, gives errors that all the apps are unsigned ?? Really disappointed ATM.

I'll hang out for the 6.1 ROM which by all the talk in the traps should be out in the next 4-6 weeks. Otherwise it is a ripper of a device, WIFI, GPS, front qwerty, just what I wanted.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] AndyInParadise:
My 8502 is great

I have had my 8502 for about 8 weeks and it is by far the best unit I have ever owned.

This is at least my 8th PDA and I migrated from a JasJam and in every aspect the 8502 is far superior even with WM 6.0.

I use it quite heavily with lots of software installed and certainly have not had the issues that some of you are talking about.

All I am waiting for is WM 6.1 and some Rom cookers and the 8502 will be even better.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vagelis:
Add one more happy 8502 user.

I have been using it since April 2, and my Kaiser sits sad in my drawer (sorry HTC, please make such a form factor VGA device - with a real keyboard - and I'll be back)

i-mate 8502: Anybody sells display or phone? /alguién vende pantalla o teléfono?

Good afternoon, folks

I was relatively happy with my i-mate ultimate 8502 till I dropped it and the display broke.

As I'm against buying new stuff if you can at a reasonable price fix something, I'm asking:

is anybody willing to sell almost altrusistically a display or even the whole phone? We could do it through the normal channels (paypal, google, ebay,whatever). Or in person, I'me based in Spain.

Warm regards,

Manuel

[General Questions and Answers] Jangoux:
Hello everyone,

Ive noticed this before but anyway.. Yesterday I clean installed a rom on my cel phone and right before I went to sleep my internal memory had around 3gb left, even after restoring all my all apps and its data with the app Migrate. When i woke up, it had barely 600mb. Is there any explanation to this ? the main culprit seems to be /data but even after digging inside each app’s folder and manually deleting the caches, I barely get 1gb free.

Any ideas?
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] blackice000:
Hey All,

I am still using Oreo 8.1, and am mostly happy. Recently (likely after a Google update of some sort I am getting a BLANK page when i double tap on Google voice notifications from the lock screen. I see the regular messages page for a split second then it's blank/ Exiting and re-entering google voice shows me the content normally.

I am using the current version of Nova launcher and am rooted.

I have tried deleting cache/data for a few things, Nova, Google voice, SMS. No change.

Anyone else experiencing this or have a fix or workaround?

Thanks,

Rich

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Poxie:
I'm on Sprint, and never got the March update. It is letting me download the April update
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] n0ve:
Didn't believe at first lol had to check thx.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ccopelan:
If you look at Essential's builds page you'll notice that there is not a Sprint version of the March update. I suspect that Sprint would not approve / accept / allow the updates. I'm hopeful that the April update will fix the Bluetooth issues introduced by the Jan or Feb update. I've also experienced significant loss of signal strength since the Jan and Feb updates, which I believe are tied to the modem security patches in those updates, and I'm hoping April fixes that as well. If not, I'll be downgrading back to December's update. I have LITERALLY gone from "bulletproof" data connections all over my City to routinely losing data connection, and my average speeds at home and work have dropped significantly. I know it's the build and not the network because I have another PH1 on Sprint that has none of these issues after being downgraded to the last Oreo build...

Edited to add: The April update is taking much longer to install than the monthly updates normally do. It took over 30 minutes to complete the app upgrade process today. Fingers crossed that this means there are some big fixes under the hood.

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

Uodate: after installing the April update and rebooting once to get a fully "clean slate", I ran Speedtest... WOW!

So, good news and bad news for me, and likely anyone on Sprint. When I ran speed tests last Friday (same app, same location, same phone, on the February Pie update) I was getting download speeds of about 12mbps and upload speeds of about 10mbps on average. After the April uppdate I am now getting download speeds averaging around 75 to 80 Mbps (!!!!!!!!!), but my upload speeds have dropped to an average of about 2.5mbps....

So, whatever the April update contained has helped and hurt. Now, to see if it has fixed my intermittent Bluetooth problems... Fingers crossed.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ccopelan:
The speed test at the very bottom was last Friday. Everything else above it is today, after installing the April update.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] IronRoo:
Yes, upgrade (74MB) installed & working, but took forever to optimise the apps, I was sweating a little since I'm in Australia & can't send phone back to Essential if major issue.

Update includes improvements to minimum brightness & volume which is good ... especially if you like to use your phone in the middle of the night without waking your beloved! ?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ccopelan:
Note that for Sprint users the file size (if received OTA) is about 96mb (approx, my recollection may be slightly off). My wife's is on AT&T and I noticed the size difference when updating her phone. Hers also seemed to optimize apps a lot faster than my Sprint PH1. It would appear that Sprint bundled something else in with the update (BT / modem fixes? March's Android security patches that we missed? Who knows...)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] logitechor:
Essential sure is quick. I do like the phone.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Poxie:

Can't shutdown with April '19 update

When I tried to shut the phone off to swap SIMs with my other phone, the PH-1 got to the part where it bumps the vibrator and hung vibrating for 2-3 seconds and then re-booted. Argh! Bluetooth is still borked... I have to shut off Bluetooth and restart before my Jabra 65t's will connect and even then it's iffy.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] Kwanger:
That's weird. No shutdown problems like that with mine. I've not noticed any Bluetooth problems either yet (but don't really know what I'm looking for with that, last build seemed to work OK for me too, I only use Bluetooth for pairing headphones)
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] autosurgeon:
And as usual I still don't have any of these weird problems. Oh well maybe the next one.

[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] autosurgeon:
Hmm my led flashes blue when I get a notification. My wifi and Bluetooth work just fine. Is this with bone stock or rooted and fettled devices?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
It's stock but rooted with Magisk (no TWRP), just happened since Jan update, it was ok last year.

Someone said it's hardware related, maybe true....but if I go back either Oreo or early Pie then no problem.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] ARMpits9:
The max volume is quiter than before..

Anyone else has this issue?
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] autosurgeon:
Any time you have an issue and are rooted and running apps or software that fettles things I would say the best test of is it software or hardware is to flash back to stock unrooted and see what's what.
[Essential Phone Guides, News, & Discussion] chanh2018:
Thanks for your suggestion, unfortunately, I did flash back to stock without rooting, and still had no LED notification.

To be honest, it only shows up one time after fresh stock ROM flash, and never show up again.

There's no LED notification when missing phone call, SMS/MMS, but......the LED is blink ONLY when I have voice mail waiting....that's pull my hair off.

I currently have LS997 with ZV3 firmware which is rootable and dumped the whole system using LGUP before I do the dirtysanta on this.

Is it possible to use this dumped files to downgrade other LS997 phones with non-rootable firmware? (ex. ZV8 and up)

Did anyone try this before?

Thanks for reading!!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Mysticblaze347:
This would be a definite game changer if so that I could use myself. But unfortunately if I am not mistaking, I think (could be wrong) that firmwares are baked on the chips themselves so ARB is still an issue after implementation on ZV8.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] lentm:
I understand. Thanks for the reply!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Phoenix591:
arb is done with tiny electronic fuses that are part of the SOC (basically cpu) itself. Once the fuses are burnt there's no going back, the same fuse system also tells the SOC other very important things like "This is LG's signature and don't run bootloaders without it"

Hi everyone, I need some help/advice,

I tried flashing the April factory image (minus -w), and am now on "Can't load Android System. Your data may be corrupt" error. Everytime I reboot the device it just goes to "No Command" or this error screen.

I uninstalled Magisk, and was on Sultan's kernel. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to restore my system without having to factory reset? I know some people suggested flashing stock kernel, but I can't seem to find the link to it (I thought the stock kernel was with the factory image).

Any help would be appreciated!
[Google Pixel 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] wangdaning:
I am dling the factory image now, but boot.img should be in there. Are you sure it was not a bad dl?

-Boot.img is in there. Extract the zip then open the "image-blueline....zip" it is in there. If it is not then something is wrong with your dl.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Bogdan_ioan:
Good evening!

I will forward this issue in hope that a solution will be found.

For several hours I have been confronted with the following situation described in the following chronological order:

1) In Google Assistant, I saved and set up the following command "Call my girlfriend"* - following the action of the assistant to be "Calling D??" - until today things went normal

2) Today I asked Google Assistant the same thing* "Call my girlfriend," and the action of it was* "Calling Conpet D, Whatsapp" followed by dialing "0723272822". - Here's the problem!

3) This contact called "Conpet D" does not exist in my contact list, the phone number assigned to it "0723272822" is not found in the phone.

I specify that I've searched for both the phone number and the contact's name in the sync agenda of my Google account,* also in my phone's memory, e-mails, facebook, whatsapp. No result!! It doesn't exist!

4) In Contacts, when I'm trying to save this "Contact D", the agenda suggests that there are duplicate contacts, but the list is empty.

How do I delete this Conpet D? Or how do I reset all memory of my Google Assistant and start all over again?

P.s Screen shots added down were made now, after I tried to "remove D??" as my girlfriend. As you see, Google don't recognise a name for my girlfriend, than found a contact in my agenda when i ask for the phone number, and finally calling that Conpet D.

Microsoft did not develop drivers for network access on smartphones. However, it is possible on PocketPCs. Since there are no drivers, there is no software. Maybe some third party app that uses its own standard, but I don't know one!

While not a major surprise in and of itself, this does mean the only new Pixel 2 XL devices remaining are the Verizon devices. There is a possibility of Amazon still having some unlocked devices, but for the most part anyone coming to this forum from this point onward is most likely to have a Verizon model.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
I think they are introducing mid-range devices that's why they are discontinuing the Pixel 2 n 2xl line up as the prices of these phones will be similar to the new midranges they will be releasing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The mid-range Pixels aren't the reason for this. Google normally discontinues sales of their older devices some six months after the release of a newer one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] 100rabh7791:
Oh okay. That might be the normal trend then. I thought its more of a business strategy to sell the mid-range. so nothing too drastic on Googles part.
