[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] pokevitek:
No, this can not be just about marketing. There must be some HW reason. HTC doesent have reason to make better phone for Sony Ericsson than their best phone aka Touch Pro. Even if is true what you say about Diamond, Touch Pro would have VGA @ 30 FPS record capability, if this is just software thing. Why would HTC do something like this? Just realize, how many even more powerfull phones than Diamond have only QVGA record option. Dell Axim x50v, Asus P535, Even Omnia with brand new Monahan 624 MHz CPU can just VGA@15 FPS. Dont tell me that HTC didnt include this option to Diamond and Raphael just becouse of marketing.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] qtek_metanol:
Hi pokevitek, HTC does not manufacture devices for SONY, they produce their products using a very strange marketing strategy, just look into the past, troubles with devices like Kaiser and Cruise, which where using the same HW but getting different HTC SW versions , e.g. the camera SW.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] R3PUBL1K:
HTC made the Xpreia x1 so it has been rumored. designed by sony made by HTC????
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] poedgirl:
HTC is the manufacturer for the Xperia X1. It's just rebranded by Sony Ericsson.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] qtek_metanol:
Ok, if so, i'll never understand the kind of marketing strategy HTC is using for.....!!! but the crazy thing is, they have a big success as Smartphone and Pcket PC manufacturer...!!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Rudegar:
htc used to only make devices for other companys

think it's rare now though
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] surur:
I understand licensing the codec to do VGA 30fps recording cost more money, hence HTC never did it.

I think porting the driver is a good strategy that should be pursued

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] sensorama:
I think we should port as much as possible from the x1.

Just because we can :D

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Wadester:
So I'm an idiot. When I went to pre-order, I selected T-Mobile since they didn't have a Sprint option and I figured they were "merged" by now. Apparently that's not the case. I was reluctant to get the Unlocked model.

When I got the phone yesterday, I spent 4 hours on the phone (Note 8) and a worthless trip to one of the "Sprint/T-Mobile" stores. On the last call, a guy from Sprint said my IMEI number was not in the database yet -- I'm guessing because it shipped about 5 days earlier than expected. He would elevate the issue so it would and he'd call me back once it was added, then I could transfer my Sprint SIM from my Note to my T-Mobile Fold 2. He didn't call back.

The guy at the store said I'd have to call T-Mobile to get them to unlock it so I could put it on Sprint. But they won't talk to me if I don't have an account with them and that I'd have to talk to Sprint.

I want to keep my cell phone number, so now I'm wondering if I just open a new T-Mobile account and get my number ported to T-Mobile. I've been with Sprint for 22 years so I'm reluctant to do that even though they're going to be one network -- but probably not for a while.

Recommendations?

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Rydsmith:
File an FCC Complaint. It's kind of the nuclear option but in my experience when it comes to cell phone and working with wireless providers (as well as internet) that's really the only thing that seems to get them to treat the customer as a customer. Even if the phone isn't compatible that will at least get someone from the Executive Offices on the phone with you to lay out what is happening and how to fix it.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] JagXK8:
I got my phone Tmobile variant Wed paid in full and tried to unlock it in the phone settings. Didn't work. So called up Tmobile. He told me to do what i already tried. Told him it didn't work. He took my IMEI and he put me on hold. Then he came back and said to try again in 3 days and if i still can't unlock it to call back. I too think maybe it's because the phone isn't technically out yet. I'm using Fi which will only be using Tmobile anyway so i went ahead and flashed unlocked firmware. Then i downloaded the Fi app and was able transfer my number. But of course being on unlocked firmware the unlock option is now gone. So i may flash the carrier firmware this weekend and try unlocking again.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] lowery23:
I'm currently in the same predicament. I was going to get the unlocked version but it was going to take another month to ship so I went ahead with the T-mobile version. After being unable to activate the phone, after 2+ hours working with CS the answer I finally ended up with from a T-Mobile rep (Sprint was useless) was to go into a store today and they can transfer my account over to T-Mobile and then I'd be able to activate the new one. The process will also unlock the rest of my phones so that they can accept a new SIM card from T-Mobile. Not what I wanted to do but since I can't get an unlocked version it may be the only option I have because after playing with this phone there is no way I'm getting rid of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Wadester:
Last night, I finally got my situation RESOLVED!

I went to another Sprint/T-Mobile store and found someone who knew how to transfer my Sprint account and Phone Number over to T-Mobile using the same SIM card! I chose the Magenta Plus plan -- and am even saving $20 a month for being "Over 55"! I'm now a VERY happy camper who's now getting 150Mbps downloads (so far). The Manager said he noticed the Model Number of my Z Fold 2 and thinks it was the Verizon model which may have caused some of the problems.
[General Questions and Answers] minun:
I am trying to figure out what is causing my Nexus 5 to be hot (I saw 44C/111.2F at one point) and also why my battery drains so fast, like 100% to 83% in a couple minutes with screen-off idle

I installed GSam to try and figure out the direct cause but it is not very clear to me, what I got out of it is that my phone is draining around 22% per hour while screen-off idle

https://imgur.com/a/ZiS7NIo

I changed to a brand new battery yesterday

Any suggestions?
[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Well Nexus 5 was known for its pretty crappy battery, you may want to check your app list to see if something you didn't want is installed. This screen off drain is likely to be caused by an app.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] GabCout:
I've been trying all day to get MIUI 12 to work on my phone, I want to disable Find Device but I'm not able to without having to re-install the rom time and time again after my phone gets stuck on bootloop.

Does MIUI 12 not like me deleting Find Device or what can I do to resolve this?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Questions & Answers] querseusz:
Im using titanium backup (any other app with freeze option will do) for freezing find device and other miui apps i dont use. If your rom doesnt let you freeze find device or other system apps, you will need install xposed module named miui anesthetist. This method worked for me on miui12 roms such as xmorz, masik or miuimix.

If it also will give you bootloop, just use recovery to rename/backup/delete this file: /data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml and all apps will unfreeze.

I was using CRDroid 9 and using TWRP I did a complete advanced wipe and flashed miui_WHYREDGlobal_V9.2.4.0.NEIMIEK_561259cda0_7.1 but it didn't restart - just a black screen.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] drnightshadow:
Try both variations ... phone and app needs to sync or it will fail with aka hello packets ( means not synced)...

Phone need to start when app told so, if phone startup to fast sync gonna fail... that's the magic :svetius:

Nothing fancy.. just try it again.... until flash start normally...sometimes it works in a 1st try sometimes in xxx times...

Just don't give up... and sometimes phone is soooo messed up that only solution is to unplug battery connector for cca 1 min, than reconnect battery and try again.

Good luck..

Is anyone else getting weird leaps in GPS? Mostly it's very reliable, but last week I was in South Kensington (London) but GoogleMaps, TrackMe and TomTom all placed me mid-English Channel. Looking at my trackme trips, I found that I spent a few moments in Tunisia the week before, and you will be very impressed by my 15 minute cycle this morning ....

Anyone else getting this?

[Touch Cruise General] jefmcg:
I'm not talking about a few metres or a couple of hundred metres - I'm getting anomalous gps readings that are hundreds or even thousands of kilometres from my actual location.

These seem to be happening more and more frequently ....
[Touch Cruise General] Philip:
I have had something similar - on Saturday (and also in the London area), for a few minutes TomTom told me that I was travelling at over 300mph. Now I know that the white van that I had hired for the day is much faster than my 911, but not that much faster!

I have also had a much weaker signal than usual recently - normally TomTom shows 4 or 5 bars, but over the last few weeks it has often been at 1 or 2 bars.

I had assumed that there were some atmospheric causes at play, but would be interested in any other explanations.
[Touch Cruise General] benjimen:
I've noticed the GPS in my Cruise acts up when 3rd party media players are running, mainly Resco Radio (when it's streaming, I frequently drop all GPS connections--when I press the top button to blank the screen, Resco's audio mutes when the amber GPS LED blinks, then comes on when it goes out... on--off--on--off, I have to leave the screen on to make it work) and Conduits Pocket Player (the device spontaneously reboots when the Player & GPS are both active). Both the players work without issue if GPS isn't being used.

When WMP or the HTC media player are running with GPS active, everything seems to 'get along' better.

I'm hoping this, and other little annoyances with the device clear up when 6.1 is released -- probably a good idea, and less frustrating, to hold off on doing to much troubleshooting until then...
[Touch Cruise General] pananza:
I experienced something similar. I had the phone with me on a boat to check the top speed of the boat. I showed the boat to be traveling at nearly 200 km/h which is far to fast. So I loaded google maps and it placed me in a whole different country. A soft reset solved the problem.

This has not happened before, but I have experienced TomTom getting a hiccup when driving a few times. Suddenly the whole map turns upside down and it starts screaming about me having to do a u-turn as soon as possible. But after a few seconds it resolves again. This does not happen when in a town and the signal is bad. It can just as well happen with good line of sight and a good signal.

Perhaps the US is tampering with the GPS signals because of the problems in Georgia?

And yet the same apps worked fine on previous versions and on my previous two phones I had.

It's obviously miui, just because it's an incompatibility with an app doesn't excuse MIUI when MIUI is the cause of that instability. That's like blaming someone for their car exploding from a factory defect because "if you hadn't used it exactly that way it wouldn't have blown up". We should expect better than this... Not blame people for problems with MIUI.

I'm not interested in an argument, this is not my opinion. This is the reality of getting this phone perfect.

Hi to everyone

I have an issue and would appreciate if anyone can help me.

So I have lock pattern on my phone and have fingerprint for unlocking. I restarted phone and then it asked me to enter lock pattern to unlock it. Which I forgot.

As my knowledge is 0, I didn't set up anything to help unlocking like safe location, find my device or any of those options.

I've been reading a lot how to unlock phone without deleting data, found one app which would work with USB connection to my laptop, but I didn't set that up previously on my phone.

I really need to unlock phone so I can save pictures, contacts and messages. Especially because I was on vacation when this happened and I was so smart not to do back up since March last year.

Now I was reading also about some Aroma File Manager, but when I enter into recovery mode I am not sure what to do. I downloaded app on another phone, stored it to SD card and put that card into my locked phone. And this is what I get when I go to recovery mode:

Reboot system now

Reboot to bootloader

Apply update from ADB

Apply update from SD card

Wipe data/factory reser

Wipe cache partition

Mount/system

View recovery logs

Run graphic test

Run locale test

Power off

If anyone knows how to save pictures and messages from locked phone please help me.

I had to buy new phone because I really want to save those photos, some of them mean a lot to me.

I learned hard way so on this new phone I put every possible option for unlocking that I could find.

But I hope that there is solution for this too..:crying:
