[Touch Cruise General] andreiileana:
Hello guys,

this is my first post on this forum and I hope it doesn't sound to agressive.

So, here goes:

I bought a HTC Touch Cruise that was locked on the RO Vodafone network. Before finding out about this great forum and all of you guys I ordered and paid, stupid me, ~30 euros for an unlock code from deblocage-htc.com

I sent them the correct imei, and the money via paypal and the next day i received my unlock code.

I inserted a sim card from the telecom company i work with and it asked for the unlock code, so i entered the code and... surprise: INVALID CODE.

I sent an email back to the site owners (that was 7 days ago) and asked them to help me solve my problem.

7 days have passed and still no answer, although I sent several other emails.

I filed a claim on paypal and the guy managed to send evidence that he is ok in only 2 MINUTES, but still doesn't find time to answer my emails.

This was the first time (and definitely the last one) I tried the easy way and I ended up with a "fat lip"

I managed to unlock my phone by miself today thanks to the nice utilities and the very explicit guide provided by Olinex (hope I remembered it right), so i promise i'll make a donation to you this week.

What I'm pissed about are not the money, but the fact that they didn't even bother to answer my emails.

PS.

My lawyer would love to know their real name and address, as I record each and every online purchase I make, and print screens with all the terms and conditions.

Hopefully the guys in the IT dept in my company will manage to provide me with the information I need.

I apologize again if this post doesn't belong here, but in a moment of stupidity (this was my first windows mobile phone and I didn't have any patience) i've been scammed for the first time in my life...

PS 2

Pardon my english, but I'm not native.
[Touch Cruise General] andreiileana:
Did anyone else encounter the same problem?
[Touch Cruise General] Ameet:
We at XDA are sorry to hear that happen to you and pray that you get your funds back, but still this is not the place to discuss these issues. Hope you understand. I will keep this thread locked till someone can PM me if they have any information to share with you, then I'll open it again

Moreover within an hour, looks like no one else faced this problem

This is just to clean the forums clean so everyone can get the information that they seek regarding devices and ROMs and likes

Thank you
[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] rahulkc:
Hello,

I have a rooted and bootloader unlocked Oneplus 3 running on stock kernel and Lineage OS 16.1.

Now there's Lineage OS 17 out there, before wiping doing and trying a new rom. The performance of PUBG on Lineage OS 16 was pathetic.

So anyone has the best recommendation ROM with settings that I need to do for a stable rom with good gaming performance.

And I read somewhere tweaking with the kernel settings is the way to go. I don't want to ruin my phone. Not a very tech savy person just read guides and do stuff to my phone. So overclocking GPU or CPU i think can be risky.

Anyways all suggestions are welcomed.

On my SM-G973F the latest update with OneUI 2.1 came through a few weeks ago. Since then I've had an issue whereby the Play Store does not show any pictures or icons except on the "Books" tab.

After spending a lot of time with Google and Samsung Help Desks I have tried many things including full Factory Reset and then downloading the full ROM from Sammobile and reflashing the phone. If I clear the app cache and data then switch to mobile data the pictures are back for a short time. But no luck on wifi.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Hello to everybody.

After some time reading you as a visitor, I've decide to post my first doubt for you.

I have a Qtek S200 since 2 years, and it is the third PPC that I have. It is a slow process, but it works.

By other hand, after avoiding for a couple of years, finally I have accepted from my company a Blackberry device. That is a very nice device: the ball is useful, the GPS is also useful, and so on, BUT

I only want to have one device and I use some software SPB Finance that is necessary for my normal life. So There is no option to change the software. And, also, I use and I actually have words and excel made under WM5.

So, here is my question for the experts and experienced people:

What new device should I buy taking into account:

I only want one device, with windows mobile where I can run my current software and MS mobile files but with the ability to have Blackberry Entreprise running in it.

GPS is also wellcome, and more speed than my S200 also. keyboard is not a must, but is not a problem if the best one have keyboard.

The operator that I have now is Movistar (Spain) and we (my company) are going to change to Orange in the next months.

As an additional data, I'm not a complet useless in computers, but, I would like to save as much as posible my time, due to I do not have enough free time, so, fiability will be really appreciate.

Thank in advance for reading me and, more thanks if you can give me some advise about ;)
[General Topics] mrpiggae:
HTC Rapheal my friend! Or Sony Erricson X1...both very nice. Not too sure about availability on your carriers, though.
[General Topics] TheBrit:
Also, you have the option of Blackberry connect to connect your PDA to your company's Blackberry servers (if they let you of course). Then you'll have the best of both worlds.
[General Topics] Ralvari:
Thank you both for your comments and suggestions. Raphael looks nice. I will wait until to have some real experience about.

Regarding the connection, that is exactly the think that I wanted to do. But, I'm getting worried about, because I would like to connect with the information that I have in the blackberry without any external petition to my IT department.

Do you think that could be possible?:confused:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ShawnShanked:
Hello Everyone,

I have the SM-G985F/DS in Canada. The current CSC is XSP/XSP,XSP/XSP.

This phone is the international variant. Can someone please guide me on how I can change the CSC? I am a total noob. I would like Samsung Pay/ VoLTE to work. Preferably Fido CSC or Unlocked Canada, some bands aren't working properly.

If this isn't possible will I get updates for my phone?

This has been a big headache.

The phone is Exynos and I'm in a Snapdragon country.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] MeltdownSpectre:
Since you're using an Exynos phone in a country where they officially sell the Snapdragon variant, you won't be able to flash the Canadian CSCs since they're only available for the Canadian variant.

VoLTE should work after you insert your SIM and reboot the phone, I've seen multiple reports of VoLTE no longer requiring the correct CSC to function.

Messing with band support is almost impossible on Exynos variants and I believe Samsung Pay requires the correct CSC to work so you're out of luck there.

All this aside, you will still get OTA updates based on when they're released for the XSP CSC.

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cimbajunior:
I´m really pissed off about every single reviewer saying that Google should included ultrawide instead of telephoto lens and that´s why I had to write this post. I remember back in 2016 when LG G5 included wide angle camera no one cared about it and know it´s a must have feature. I used an OP 7 Pro and Iphone 11 Pro before Pixel 4 XL and guess how many times I actually used ultrawide? Only once on each phone in 3 months of usage. My opinion is that ultrawide is just a gimmick just like 50x zoom or 100xzoom bull**** from Huawei and Samsung.What do you think?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] redskykiter:
I was thrilled to have zoom over ultrawide.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Sorry but the ultrawide is very useful. It's why I've been using a Sirui wide angle lens since my Pixel 2 XL and now now my Pixel 4 XL. It's great for tight areas where you can't move back any further. And it's also great for videos because the regular lens has a pretty decent crop.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] CyberpodS2:
My wife busts my balls every other day cause my phone doesn't have it. Lol I think since I've never used it I don't miss it...
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cimbajunior:
So why are you using Pixel if it´s that important to you?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Because it's not a deal breaker. The still camera and user experience are the two main things I look at. I have an external wide angle lens that gets the job done but it is inconvenient. Why can't I be a Pixel owner that wishes it had all three focal points when all other flagships that came out in 2019 did?
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
People didn't complain with the Pixel 1 because 3 focal lengths wasn't a standard back then in 2016. In 2019, the Pixel 4 was the ONLY flagship phone that didn't have all 3. My point is that yes it's got a great still camera but for charging $799 for the 4 and $899 for the 4 XL, it was bit overpriced for getting less. And I'm not just talking about less cameras. We got smaller batteries, less bright screen, less internal storage, less video recording options, slower fast charging. Me being such a fan of the Pixel line, STILL kept my purchase and I made compromises with each of the "lesser" areas but we shouldn't have to. Or the phone should've been a lesser price to begin with instead of penalizing early adopters.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cimbajunior:
I agree you with you about the prices and less storage(64GB is still enough for most of users tho) but I can´t agree with you about battery life and slower fast charging. Nexus and Pixel phones was never intented to be phones for average consumers and I guess they´ll never be.They are for people who will root their phones and install custom kernels immediately after getting one.I did that with every Nexus and Pixel phone I had and experience is 10/10 after that. As of slower charging(18W is still fast enough for me as it charge my phone from 0 to 40-45% in 30 minutes) it´s actually better becuse battery won´t degrade so quickly.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
You're still living in the Nexus past. Google's Pixel line has been for the general consumer hence why they spend millions on advertisements. And general consumers don't care about battery degradation. They see a phone that gets to to 80% in 30 minutes versus a phone that gets to 80% in 60 minutes, which are they going to choose? They see a phone with 3700 mAh versus a phone with 4100 mAh or greater, which are they going to choose? And 64 GB is not enough when we have 4K video recording. Yes I've made my compromise with Google Drive full quality backup but 128 GB should've been the base. Google's not Apple to make that 64GB still standard. They're in the Android world of devices that offer 128GB at same or lesser price.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Bwyan Benton:
Don't care about the ultra wide. There's other ways around it that are just fine. Screw reviewers, I can't stand watching them anymore.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] cimbajunior:
Yeah maybe they want it to be the phone for average consumers but only in USA to compete with Apple. Here in Croatia and most of the Europe probably 80% of average consumers never heard of Pixel phones and I know that beacuse I work in telecommunications. Samsung and Huawei dominates here for years now.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Shayded:
Overall I care less about either a telephoto or an ultrawide than I do having a great main sensor (wouldn't trade P4 camera for the S20 for example)

BUT the ultrawide is more useful than telephoto and wouldn't have detracted anything from the experience, google not including it is literally just them being cheap
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] neo_lithic3K:
I was disappointed that there wasn't an ultrawide, even though it wasn't a dealbreaker. A friend had gotten the new iphone around the same time and his ultrawide was impressive and useful. For everyday shots, I think the ultrawide is alot more useful, especially in group shots. For zoom shots, I have a real camera for that because zoom generally requires better lenses, motion stabilization, etc in order to get good shots -- so I didn't really need it on my pixel.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Birdsfan:
For what the phone is ultrawide, among other things is a miss. Google continues to hamstring themselves and then wonder why they don't move enough phones. All the points EeZePeZe pointed out are valid, Google should make three tiers like Apple (can't believe I said that out loud), there should be a high end, great screen, BIG battery, more/faster storage, ultrawide camera, all the bells and whistles, you get it for $1,000-$1200. Then a middle of the road "good" phone$650-$750 range and a price point phone $400-$500. That new iPhone is going to sell really well from the looks of it.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
I don't agree with the 3 tier idea. At the time of introduction this phone was selling as a flagship phone for flagship money and flagship phones are called that for a reason; they come loaded with all the latest goodies that can be packed into the frame. That is what makes a flagship a flagship and flagship and no excuses can be made, it either is or it is not. I've had the wide and didn't use it outside of a couple of tryout pics. Just not my thing so I don't miss it but that doesn't mean I give the phone a pass in terms of what it should be based on it's intended flagship status and price. Google should have thrown it in, it's really that simple to me. Flagship phones selling for flagship money have wide angle cameras and this was sold as a flagship phone and at flagship prices and should be able to carry that freight.

In my mind they need to pack actual flagship specs if they want to play in that market or move down market and sell at a lower price point. When you think about it they have been doing the latter for years as long as you wait a month and then buy it. Don't get me wrong, I love Pixel phones based on the experience and they are excellent cameras for taking the kinds of shots I take but this phone is not a flagship and should have gone on the market for the price they're now selling for which is 300 or more under MSRP. As a way of putting into perspective the experience on the 3a Xl was much the same but the price was very different.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] kickenwing13:
I wish I had it tbh
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Birdsfan:
We agree Google should be adding in all the flagship specs so who cares if there are three tiers or not we already have two? As it stands they offer a "flagship priced" (initially) phone that is really in the "good" category and an "A" version that is their price point phone. They just need a true highend specced phone to appeal to more of a buying segment. I just don't understand whomever it is that makes these hardware decision for Google when there is so many examples of effective marketing to borrow from.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] jaxenroth:
I'm a die-hard pixel user and I really miss not having a wide-angle. I I have the moment case and a couple lenses, looking to buy the superfish right now. The wide-angle is great IMO. I do wish video quality was close to iPhones though. I honestly never use the zoom lens.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] m+a+r+k:
No, telephoto over wide angle any day whether DSLR or phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] DinarQ8:
I prefer zoom. I do not mind to get Wide Angle jist for Fun :)

[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
They've answered this one saying they are offering a "flagship experience" which is more important/valuable than specsmanship. I do tend to agree that the experience is the factor that most matters and that this really is a great experience. But... I can't stop ogling better hardware. I want a Note 10 plus handset (or name any other legit flagship) with Goog software. That's the phone I want and what I expect for my flagship money and when you think about Samsung spends just as much on their handset software but doesn't use it as an excuse to go low on the hardware. As you say, there really is no excuse for Google to get it wrong, they know more about us than anyone else on the planet.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] EeZeEpEe:
Bringing this thread back from the dead.

Funny how Google caved in and went with a wide angle lens for the Pixel 5.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] Ksehwail:
To each there own, however, in my case I purchased the ultra wide lens from Moment and much prefer an ultrawide to telephoto. Especially since Google can achieve great telephoto computationally. My biggest issue is fitting my subject into the frame. I do agree that the 50x and 100x are total gimmicks

would the two compare up in term of hours of usage, will it make a huge difference?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] mrvanx:
For the prices I saw them for its worth it :)

My battery certainly lost alot of its operational lifespan since it wouldnt keep charge even for a single day?! I figured a 1500mAh is only a plus point!

enough was enough.

this one lasts a day and a half no probs.
