I'm gonna try my best to keep my 9 but I can't do pixels only because Google refuses to put in a micro SD card slot. That and the specs don't ever really impress me. There's never a wow factor. Besides it being stock Android there's nothing cool about it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dave678:
C'mon man it's basically the truth. Why are there so many similarities then if Google supposedly didn't clone iOS 12?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
Did you know cars have 4 wheels, and some even have 3? Brakes, windows, and engine, some gas, electric, diesel, and now hydrogen? They even have lights. Whoa. Wait, they should stop cloning each other!!!! I want a car without disc brakes!!! Needs to use polarity transfer for stopping before I buy it....

Bruh, it's called competition. You have to use some of the likeness of your competition if you're trying to tell their customers, "hey you can do the same thing over here, but a little cheaper." Well, you don't have to, but it sure makes it easier to win. I don't know what to tell you man. Go buy a windows phone? Oh wait those are the same too....

By the way, at the core of ios and android....same architecture...tsk, stupid clones, they're even using the same screens...?

??*♂️

Yeah, the one thing I hate about the pixels is the affordability no longer really being a bumped compared to my Note 9. Putting shiny wrapping on a turd doesn't make it hot sh....you know where I'm going with this.

Luckily for me, my wife doesn't even use the spen, so I just need to make sure I get her a phone that's compatible with xfinity mobile that won't cost an arm and leg. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dave678:
Lol that's different. Google has decided to clone iOS since they ran out of new ideas
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ultramag69:
Not liking the price though, it's getting to the point where it's outside my price range, no justification in spending so much on a pocket pc that can be damaged, lost or stolen so easily...

And the note lineup is gonna be so much more expensive than the S20 variants...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr.Lost:
Nope, kinda pissed that the plain note 10 is smaller than the 9 the 10+ is the same size as the 9 so you pay more for less? I kind my full rounded screen. The notch hole punch, whatever their doing these days. I like having a whole screen. The biggest thing for me is personalization. You look at iPhone and everyone has the same layout and everything. With Android is free reign. I like being in control of my device more so than the other way around
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Exactly!

I may skip yet another year in the Note upgrade game, & this is coming from someone who got the Note FE (still have it).

The Note 10+5G (T-Mobile US) is a beast,warts & all.

However, while the 5G speeds are nice,if you have already fast 4G LTE &/or Wi-Fi most of the time, it's a hard sell when you have a perfectly fine Note 9 & that's why I returned mine during the buyer's remorse period.

If the Note 20 is priced much more than the S20 Ultra, I'll probably sit out another upgrade & will continue to do so until my Note 9 battery takes a nosedive....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] JJ_96:
I'm actually waiting to see what Samsung does with the new note. I just came from IOS to Android and I've always loved the Note series but I couldn't afford the Note 10 + currently so i got the note 9 for like $350 and it's so damn good. By the time Samsung announces the new note I should be financially stable enough to get it on launch day so I'll be patient and continue to use this beast of a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sethsmaxx:
Ladies and gents the Note 9 is the goat! When the 10 came out with the hole punch I was not loving it but I tried the 10+ before I bought the 9 I was using my note 8 which was great but the battery was poor life otherwise note 8 was great. So the note 10+ I bought was having very poor reception and when I was gaming some of my buttons were near the hole punch and it was effecting game performance so I looked at note 9 specs and seen that it's the last note with headphone jack no hole screen and 4000mah battery! Plus when I had finally decided to upgrade from note 8 the 9 had been out a year and a half so the prices were coming down, I bought not 1 but 2 note 9 from Samsung on ebay for 349.99 brand new! I am fully prepared for this to be the last phone I ever use...

Hi, I just posted in the wrong place, sorry for the inconvenience.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] raveydavy:
Having found and read the threads I can on the subject, I want to install Tomtom 7 (tt7) on my Diamond (I purchased the phone whilst on a trip to HK and it didn't have it installed), and to hook it up to Tomtom Home on my pc to purchase maps over and above the taster maps.

I've loaded the application cab from a thread on the Kaiser forum (which most people seem to agree is not Warez), and downloaded TT home 2.3 from the tomtom website. Have got the free taster map, but now want to buy more maps. However, I don't seem to be able to get Home to talk to my device.

From reading the threads, it's suggested to move the application from "Intern Gegeugen" (where it installs), to the Program Files folder. However, doing this breaks all the shortcuts.

Can anyone either provide a cab for the application that installs to the right place, or give me some step by step pointers how to get it all working? Would really appreciate the help!

Oh - and should anyone from Tomtom chance upon this post, the sooner you get your website and Home explicitly working for TT7, the faster I'm sure people like me would actually be buying your products- seems you've done the hard part of actually developing the software, just not making it easy for people to buy it right now!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] polecatpete:
That's interesting about moving the install folder... I haven't tried that. What I did do though was to uninstall Home 2.3 as I encountered the same problem and install Home Navigator 1.5. From there, you can just purchase maps of your choice. You need to link the device to a 'GO' device as they are the only models using version 7 software.

Hope this helps
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Speedmaster:
Place the contents of "Intern Gegeugen" into My Device/Program Files/Navigator on the Diamond. Connect via Activeynch and finf TomTom Navigator.exe in the above folder. Right click, choose create shortcut and paste that shortcut in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs and rename it accordingly.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] marco899:
And after that you can connect with tomtom home 2.3 (for PDA). First you choose your memory location, get an error, go back and your device is connect.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] polecatpete:
I've just given that a go and moved the install onto the internal storage. It all still seems to work ok. One question though, other than free up the main memory are there any advantages/disadvantages to running the app from internal storage? (i.e. does it run slower from internal storage etc)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Radeon123:
I find if you install TomTom 7 on the internal storage, TomTom home 2.3 comes up with an error, installing it the the internal memory TomTom home picks it up fine.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] angus99:
I have tried the above, but still cannot purchase any maps. when I Click on the maps i just get the message 'No Items Available'
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] laporte:
same for me! tomtom home recognices my device but can't really communicate with it.

i use the maps i get with me touchcruise/xda orbit2, they are version 6.75.

connected with tomtom home 1, device can get connect. i used the maps from cdrom and could install them. afterwards i activated the map on my device using my product code card, no problem :-D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
Only TT home 1.5 is compatible with Navigator.

What I did was upgrade my TT6 maps to the latest then using TT home transfered the maps to the device and installed TT 7 after. works well
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Matti23:
I changed TT6 into TT7 and I could use the same maps. All is working fine.

One question:

TT7 does not get a fix, when phone is not on. I found it today, when I use Tomtom in a car about 10 minutes. I stopped and turned phone on, so Navigator 7 got the fix easily.

I have not agps on.

In Artemis I did not find this kind of symtom with Navigator 6.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jakacid:
i have also tomtom 6 with maps from my o2xda2. i've installed the maps from cd over tomtom home 1.5. it installed successfully. but in tomtom 7 on my diamond i can't still use the maps.. they aren't listed in manage maps?! what do i wtong?!

please help
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] laporte:
i don't know, i just installed tt7, not 6, then connected it with tomtom 1.5.

put the cd in and i was capable to install the maps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jakacid:
yeah... i did the same! all fine! but when i start tomtom on diamond i can't change the maps. i only see the demo-map. you can?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] laporte:
yes, i can. i even never installed the demo map. you know that you have to choose/change map in order to see the right one?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jakacid:
yes i know... but there who i can change the map i see only bern (demo-city-map)!!! :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PianoSam:
Not being a SatNav user I did this

I am not really a big user of SatNav as I read the signs on the road.

However, I am a lover of toys and have always kept a copy of tomtom nearby for fun.

I installed the XDA linked TT7.cab file (11.9mb) and directed it to Internal Storage.

Then I went online and created myself a tomtom account. I went through the maps purchase wizard stating my device was a GO 720 model.

I then purchased the 7.2 Great Britain and NI Map. £29.95 - even by my standards a bargain.

I then downloaded Home 2.3 and connected my Diamond as a disk system.

When the Diamond came up it challenged me to select the location of my product and I chose Internal Storage. It then promptly through up an error message.

I did a back and continued. When I went to MAPS etc it didn't find my map. So I clicked on the Update Pocket PC icon and there was my map.

It didn't take long to download and install (161 MB ish) and now I have a working TT7 with the 7.2 map.

I could also update the Pocket PC with free voices and POI's too from the TomTom website (although I have forgotten the steps just now).

The advantage is that I have a working, reliable, sexy, copy of Tomtom 7.

The negative is that I don't seem to be able to use MAP share. This is not a big deal for me (as I never actually use Sat Nav anyway!). It didn't seem to matter once I had bought the map what I set the device to be - PDA or GO 720.

I hope that this is useful as a legitimate way of getting Tomtom 7 onto your Diamonds...and all for £29.95.

I have done this twice - once for me to play and once for the missus to actually use.

Not a bit of Warez anywhere - for 30 quid why bother with Warez?

All the best,

Sam.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sfere1:
I tried the above method and HOME 2.3 just said that the map i purchased was not an available device for these maps so the checkbox was greyed out...any ideas...maybe they caught on?

need a response please!

df
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wardy:
No it's not a case of have they caught on. TomTom 7 the application on a PDA is not supported on TOMTOM Home 2.3. You need to use 1.5 . This is beacause at the moment only PNA devices are supported on 2.3

The Maps which you purchace to activate with your device to make the application work have not been released yet for PDA so you have to use backwardly compatible maps . 6.75 etc until you can purchase ver 7 maps

As for Warez the licenceing is with the maps only and not the application which is available to download from TomTom . If you was to load hacked Maps then this is WAREZ as the Licence is with the maps. You can only use your brought maps with one device and that is the device you purchaced it for. Hence you get the activation number from your device as it is device specific.

You cannot if you purchased maps already from a different device use them on another device . This is the License law and you need to purchase new maps every time you cahnge device . You can email TomTom support but they will tell you the same thing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mean-machine:
All maps are 30% cheaper at the moment, because they'll release the new version in the beginning of August.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
The 30 price reduction is not for Navigator user as I found out last month.

As for only using the Maps for one device (true in a sense) though I managed to activate via TT home my maps twice on my Trintiy (as the Device ID changed once when I flashed an early ROM and activiate the same product code again for my Diamond - which is indicated on the TTcode website as three activations.

I have purchase new 6.75 maps for my Navigator 6 and know these will work on version 7 once on general release.

Hello Everyone,

I am using my Lenovo Tab M8 (FHD) (TB-8705F) as a monitor to control a Mavic 2 Pro drone.

When connected to the controller unit it drains the inbuilt battery of the controller, which significantly decreases operation time. I enabled developer options and under "Default USB Configuration" I selected "File Transfer". However, each time the DJI GO4 app is launched this setting is over-ridden and it starts charging the tablet.

There are a few apps available that can turn off charging if the device is rooted.

I searched all over the internet and could not find a way to root my Lenovo Tab M8 (FHD) (TB-8705F).

Please suggest any links on how to go about this process.

Some of the processes I found need the stock-ROM, but no-one has uploaded a stock-ROM yet anywhere.

So I looked at how I can make a stock-ROM. To use those method I have tried to use MediaTek SP Flash Tool (ver 5.1944.10).

Still NO-GO. It does not support MediaTek Helio P22T Tab Octa-core 2.3G platforms yet.

Now I am in a bind. Please suggest an alternative way to root this device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashok.Vardhan:
My bootloader is unlocked.

and I have tried these methods without much success, any suggestions on how I can make a ROM backup?

I tried these two tutorials to take a ROM backup, however, without much success.

https://android.stackexchange.com/q...nd-full-rom-without-root-for-mediatek-devices

https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21970.html

The first issue I noticed with Wwr_MTK (I downloaded the latest version I could find: WwR_2.51_Eng) is that it did not have a drop-down option for the Mediatek MT6762.

It had options for MT6761 & 6763, but not for 6762. So it did not have a pre-configured scatter file format to choose from. So I used the option-2 and modified the Template.ini file to include it into the drop down menu options.

The second issue I came across was that Smart Phone Flash Tool (I downloaded the latest version I could find: SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1944) did not support MT6762 either. It has support for MT6761, though.

So I am not able to use SP Flash Tool to make a backup for the stock firmware.

Any suggestions on how to get past this roadblock?

I just tried that. Problem is that the M8 (FHD) TB-8705F isnt available to choose in the list of devices. On ROMDevelopers there is mirror of {Mod edit: Link removed - Oswald Boelcke, Moderator} available which I'm unable to download because I have no membership. Maybe some can upload the file somewhere else. Guessing from the filename the URL on the official lenovo server should be https://rsdsecure-cloud.motorola.com/download/TB-8705F_USR_S100058_1911122350_V5.140_BMP_ROW.zip but since I have no download permission which is only granted through Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant I cant download it either.

hi dear.

did you get any chance to root it.

please help i need to root the same device
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashok.Vardhan:
Please excuse the late reply to this thread. I was "locked-away" from my desktop computer as I had traveled out of state and a country wide lockdown was imposed here in India, right after I left--which was close to two and a half months--we were not allowed to travel beyond our neighbourhoods on most occasions, forget between cities in the same state, or even between states. It was a heavy handed lock-down of the entire country. I had left the tablet back at my hometown, so I could not pursue rooting it further for this duration. Just got back two days back and am going through the replies.

Yaryk777 is correct. I just checked (and downloaded) the stock firmware available through Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant (LMSA), which I did.

Not sure how to go about rooting the device from here, if anyone can suggest how to root a Mediatek device when a stock firmware is available I would really appreciate it. I had links to a few methods, but have forgotten them now since I have been away. I tried the two methods mentioned in my earlier post, and both did not work.

TWRP does not have a supported recovery for this device.

Any suggestions how to go about it?
