just to let everyone know,

i have found that t mobile is supposedly coming out with a tytn II (kaiser/8925) of its own that supports all th standard gsm bands and 1700mhz which is the 3g band they use, so all of us on the tmo usa network can have some nice speedy ppcs to play with the 3g too.

it would be nice to have a diamond touch pro for tmo too :(

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DaArtist401:
Decided to take the plunge and go for the ATT Tilt(Kaiser). And i gotta say its a pretty worthy upgrade over the hermes. Since the whole Manilla 2D thing going around, the tilt can actually run this 'Diamond' software pretty well. It kinda feels like it could be a touch diamond now because of how well the touchflo works on it. I bought it used from some1 on craigslist and did all the hardspl-ing, unlocking, pagepooling, etc. Its fairly speedy and can handle everything i want to do with a phone. I tried the Manilla 2d on the hermes and it just didnt cut it. Too many memory problems(especially when opening up youtube or opera mobile,..even s2p occasionally gave me troubles.). But with the tilt, u can run opera mobile, watch some youtube videos with the diamond style setup, and them some. I havent tried the gps thing yet because i've had no use for it yet. The camera is not as good as the hermes though. It seems to make images a teeny bit blurrier. But if you have the right amount of lighting, the camera works better than hermes. But in medium/low light situations, it seems the hermes is a bit better. The Video quality isnt any worse on the kaiser. A little bit better in my opinion partially because its brighter backlight. And bluetooth headsets function much better on the kaiser(No skipping at all on a2dp, etc). Overall, i say if you dont want to spend $500++ on a phone, and want something that'll probably suit your needs just as good, go for the tilt. I've been on it for a couple days now, and definately noticably faster, and worth an upgrade. Now to sell the hermes. :confused: .

Nokia E71 next

Have a look at the Nokia E71 for you next phone.

I got one last week after a year and a half of flashing my old hermes, and I find it to be excellent. Everything works and works fast. Bluetooth is great now that it works properly :)

Wifi, 3G, GPS, lots of useful apps installed and it is just 10mm thick.

Battery lasts with GPS on for over 10 hours.

Well, just have a look... Perhaps you might like it too.

All the best to everyone.

After using the hermes for 2 years now, I went for the touch pro and I have to say It's looking way better then the Hermes :D Only thing what really annoys me is its instability. Now waiting for cooked roms :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Riccardinho:
Couldn't agree more - it's a cracker. Work colleague has one. Best Nokia I've ever seen. Battery life seems phenomenal, plus the podcasting and internet radio is made sooooo easy...

Anyone got news of which phone company is currently trying to come up with a NVidia Tegra chipset base phone? If there's one that's likely going to be my first choice..

Else I'll be targeting this one... :)

E71

I think the Nokia E71 is really interesting.

Nobody knows when WM7 will arrive and if it works more stable than all those WM6 and 6.1 releases.

And even nobody knows if all the existing and coming devices will be upgradeable - except all those Chefs here at xda-developers ;)

it looks to be the hermes on steroids and i didnt wanna go too far away from my little gem.

Raphael best for me
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kaalgoosy:
Yea, the diamond, touch pro, and raphael are just beta phones, in my opinion. They didn't get the greatest of reviews; slight improvements and a bit smoother, but still slow for next gen WM; hardly a revolution. You guys know this is all about getting the kinks out for the Touch HD. Can't wait for this beastly *****!!

My Hermes got bricked for the 10th time and it seems like i can't fix it :(

RIP Herm100 it was fun while it lasted..

Now i'm phoneless till HTc Touch Pro comes out :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Mr. Clipit:
Just a heads-up for AT&T US customers looking to get a kaiser, my friend pointed out to me that while a new kaiser with a new plan from ATT/Cingular will cost you around $200, the same phone and same plan from Newegg will cost only $50 (link).

Only catch is that it locks you into an internet plan for 6 months, but you'd probably want that anyway. So this is probably the upgrade route I'm gonna take.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] samuel20709:
why not wait for the Pro ?

Raphael vs. Blackstone

I just flash my Hermes 100 for the 1st time on July and I’ve tried very few ROMS. At this moment I’m riding the PDA Corner V.23 ROM, so I hopefully my Hermes will last at least until mid ’09 when I’m planning to get the Blackstone. I didn’t know anything about the Raphael and through this tread it became a nice alternative (price-wise). Nevertheless, I’ll check both PDA’s prices on June ’09.

What most appeals me about the Blackstone is the largest screen and since I don’t use the QWERTY very much, I don’t mind it’s not delivered with the Touch-HD. Here’s the comparison between the Raphael and the Blackstone (they are quite similar).

HTC Touch Pro

This article says it only has 3.5 hours of talk time.

http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-Raphael-CDMA-phone-p_2846.html

If it is I guess I could always get another bigger battery like I did for my 8525.

Also since I live in the U.S. there is no 3-G (deal killer)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] veyka:
Ill be joining you in a few weeks when i get my student loan, then I wont need to worry about keeping my Hermes for work/uni! ;)

Tell me how you get on with it! Is it worth it over the Hermes in your opinion? (it feels nicer in the hand and like a better device)

What puts me off about the hermes is that its always half slid open in my pocket :(

And i hear the kaiser fixes this!

(as well as the ram issue)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] DaArtist401:
Definitely worth it. No more memory issues, and really that's all i wanted from a phone. Ever since buying Hermes, i thought it was the best phone ever, but then memory issues came, and that's the only problem with Hermes. Other than that, the Hermes is awesome. But the Kaiser is pretty much like the Hermes, but with no memory issues. The GPS works nicely too using Tom Tom(although it took some time to get it working perfectly). And the camera is a bit nicer as well. I read before that Hermes camera was better, but i tried them both out, and with the newer camera drivers, kaiser is better, plus it has a panorama hack that makes the camera 6mp which is pretty nice. And also, there's a trick to make kaiser record video 30fps which is pretty nice too. Blue tooth is more stable and better(which on the Hermes, it wasn't that great at times). I would say blue tooth a2dp and stuff is almost perfect. I can finally use Opera Mobile with no problem now(could barely get it to work right without memory issues on Hermes). Plus it feels better in the hand. The tilting is pretty cool. I didn't think I'd care too much about it, but its a feature I've grown to like(something i'd miss if in the future i buy a touch pro). Only annoyance is that the keyboard keys feel a little harder than the Hermes keys. But maybe that's because i bought it used(although i've read other users complaining of it too). Personally, after buying this phone and running manilla 2d on it(runs great with this diamond-ish software, and no ram issues no matter what i open), i would probably skip the touch pro. Maybe go for an htc android phone down the road when they release better ones than the G1(wouldn't get it because no a2dp).

HTC Touch HD

The new Touch HD DOES have a headphone jack.

Check this Youtube Video from German Area Mobile

This is definitely my next phone
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] benniezzzz:
I also had this problem.

I have looked around and I am now the owner of an Samsung i780. Had first the same problems as with my Hermes with the power of the battery. I found out that when you don't sync continiously then there are no problems anymore with this phone's battery!

Good luck!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] saeba:
Though now I'm being tempted by the Sony Xperia. 3" screen with 800x480 resolution (vs 2.8" screen and 640x480 for the Touch Pro). The keyboard is supposedly not as nice, but I use the screen much more than the keyboard. Most of the other specs are the same. The interface is different with the Xperia using "panels" and the Touch Pro using TouchFlo 3d. Personally, I kinda liked the looks of the panels though I may just run WM6.1 with my standard utilities (PocketBreeze, iLauncher, etc.).

I'll see once they become available. Good to have some choice!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] anryl:
I like the KAISER as the M3D is nice and still leaving memory for IGO8

The Time has come

Well it had to happen sooner or later.

I will be the owner of a Touch Pro come November. Corporate decision. Oooh the excitement of it all.... :D

It will be time to retire the hermes again or play with CRC's development roms. I just hope I don't have another Kaiser incident.

NOTE TO ALL Kaiser owners current and future:

Do not use your phone when walking near cliff edges at the beach. If you trip the first thing you let go of is the phone and no matter how you tilt the screen that puppy will not glide or fly. It also sinks like lead when it hits the ocean.

Time to read up on the Raphael wiki and see who is doing what with the ROMS. I note that 3 AUS has them but no rom is listed in the HTC AUS downloads. This could be interesting.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dazza7111:
i got the diamond its cool (+small) but needs speeding up, sometimes seems unresponsive, I like the omnia, boss got one but i had to use my stylus setting it up for him which is a bit annoying! also gps takes a while to kick in but 8gb plus memory card is better than just 4gb!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] oneplus5t_:
Hi Everyone,

I have a 5T running android 9 - completely stock. The device is SIM free, I have never customised it at all - if anything it's never been connected to a PC even.

A few days ago I was using my phone as normal (on whatsapp) but it completely froze. It now boots up to the "Your device is corrupt and cannot be trusted and may not work properly" - it freezes on start up and won't work at all.

- I can get to the fastboot screen

- I can get to the recovery screen to install from ADB

The fastboot screen says in red - device state - locked.

The device is a clean, un-customised phone. Only a few days prior I checked for any OTA updates but I haven't received android 10 yet.

I haven't flashed phone firmware or anything for years now. (By years, I literally mean years - back in the Nokia 8210 days). My only other experience of flashing firmware was with Samsung phones and 'debranding' them.

As I was not trying to root the device or anything - how do I fix this issue? I've searched the forums but I cannot fine a scenario similar to mine therefore I'm a bit confused as to what to do to resolve it.

I've tried to sideload this - oneplus.com/uk/support/softwareupgrade/details?code=PM1574156155944 via recovery but it says installation failed.

Any help appreciated thanks!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] banana_bender:
Sounds like you're straight out of luck to recover any data if your device is completely stock, as to unlock your bootloader to access encrypted data would mean a factory reset. You could try try one of the unbrick tools using the guide here. You will lose your data.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] oneplus5t_:
I tried the unbrick tool here - xdaforums.com/oneplus-5t/how-to/oneplus-5t-unbricking-tool-confirmation-t3733012

... and it doesn't work. The phone now boots to a blank screen with a constant white LED.

Could this be a hardware issue?

I'm not too concerned about losing my data - already gave up on trying to keep my data when the problem first occurred!
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] oneplus5t_:
After the 4th use of the unbrick tool (each time it completes successfully) I was finally able to boot into the phone.

I got as far as setting the region but then it wouldn't find any wifi networks. It then completely froze on this screen and is now back to "your device is corrupt and cannot be trusted" and will continually try to boot and freeze on the oneplus logo. Sometimes it will boot to a blank screen with a white LED.

Has anyone else had this issue? I'm definitely suspecting a hardware issue now...
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Harry@007:
Problem fixed?:confused:
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] oneplus5t_:
unfortunately not. Any ideas on next steps?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] banana_bender:
That's an odd issue for sure. My only idea would be installing TWRP and maybe formatting from there and using fix permissions etc. to see if it has any effect.
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] oneplus5t_:
I've done some googling to try and understand "TWRP" but I'm not sure I fully understand. Are there any forum posts I can refer to?

- phone has been flashed several times

- before this whole saga dev mode was enabled, but only to reduce animation scale - USB debugging was never enabled

- the phone has always been stock / sim free - never rooted

Thanks
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Term1nator3000:
Can you get into recovery? If yes then try connecting to a pc whilst in recovery as it should let you open your phones internal storage on PC but im not too sure if stock recovery allows it, (TWRP) does. Then copy whatever files you need. Let us know if you can get into fastboot mode aswell
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] andref:
It sounds similar to an issue I have just experienced with a friends 5T. In my case it's a hardware issue (seems like Wi-Fi has died). Just for kicks try to flash the Android 7 firmware. For some reason it allowed me to boot the phone fine and use it, albeit without any Wi-Fi. I sideloaded OOS 4.7.6 and that seems to be the last version 7. You could also use the older unbrick software. Academic I fear as I think you have a hardware issue.
