2 things which bother me about iphones are

1. got a free rss program of itunestore for my ipod touch

and without copy paste one have to surf to the rss feed one wants

and write it down on a note open the rss program and write it there :P

silly that one cant copy paste

2. got a free ebook reader program but only way one can get ebooks is from www url's

no option to get all the ebooks on my computer into the ipod

so it's useless

suspect the lack of freedom with iphones / ipods

both consering accessing data from ones computer and

lack of SD data or even basic filesystem access

are one of their biggests problems
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] steveoidm:
forgot tomtom, and a2dp. use that all the time too.... iphone cant do either.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] copex:
HTC as the it can access parts of the internet the iphone carn't reach :-)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] golympio:
Touch Pro rocks!

I personnally think the Touch Pro and iPhone are not / should not even in the same category at all:

- 2.8" screen for "pocketability" vs 3.5" screen for comfort

- Full qwerty keyboard vs no keyboard (granted, the on-screen keyboard on the iPhone is even better to use than PCM Keyboard on my VGA 4 inches-screened HX4700, mainly due to the capacitive touchscreen)

- On one side, the nerly endlessly extensible Windows mobile, can do anything, but you can't expect noobs to fiddle with the registry everyday and swap ROMs to have a better-working device

- On the other side, the iPhone platform is less open, but easier to use for nOobs, apps are easy to install, and (where the features are actually implemented) it just works

Surely there are other different points!

I myself just couldn't care to be ensconced in the iPhone, with clearly throttled-down features (no A2DP protocol for BT, no MMS, no video with the camera, no f#$..g copy-paste, for Krishna's sake? How hard can it be?).

My vote goes for the Touch Pro!

My 0.02$... :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WatskeBart:
I hope that kmann could make his decision based on our replies :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Tregrad:
plain and simple........copy and paste........nuff said.

the iphone is just a glorified Ipod, the HTC phones are usable computers in your hand and much much more.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] adesonic:
I would suggest that you take a look at the iphone thread on the macrumours forum. You get the views of a large number of iphone owners there. To my mind, they fall into 3 categories: On the fence types, fan boy types (for whom the iphone can do no wrong) and a substantial number of people who are having real problems with the iphone - not so much the things that are missing (cut and paste, a2dp etc.) but problems with doing basic phone stufff (like making calls) and build quality issues (cracks appearing in casings, bits falling off/ stopping working etc.).

I am not an iphone hater - I have an Ipod touch with the very latest firmware on - it is a great music player and some of the apps from the apple store are good fun - I have even bought a couple! I have also spent a couple hours playing with the latest iphone (a friends'), as a phone and a serious business tool, it just didn't cut it for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] kmann:
Ok, time to chime on again. Thanks all for your input. I've got 30 years of experience in deep IT technology. I've programmed Operating Systems, hardware etc. I've cooked my own ROMs for the HTC phones. And maybe I'm getting old and tired of fighting the hassles, but you've got to admit the iPhone is sexy, and simple.

Sure I understand the limitations, for example, I use push email and Calendar sync and I realize Apple has yet to fully implement the ActiveSync APIs which causes issues.

So I am in a quandry. Am I tired of fighting the custom ROMs and having the some extra features I rarely use, or do I want sexy and simplicity.

Ah, I guess we live in great times when these are the decisions I have to wrestle with.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jasjamming:
i got sexy, simplicity as well as configurability. NOkia E71 (white steel). cant go wrong, 3.5G, BT, WIFI, GPS. all works as it should. IM using Garmint Mobile XT with Australia NT Maps 2009 without any issues, BT works like a charm, music player is fantastic, 8GB microsdhc card is fast.

dont know what else to say, im glad i bought this phone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aaronsmckee:
Wow, one of the top chefs of all time goes with the E71 (it is a badass device btw). Are you considering getting a touch pro and cooking for it or are you just chillin in the forums (hope its the former or your part of the elite project).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Eriol:
I will go for the Raphael because of this great forum here, but as far as I have compared these two phones in action I must say that at this moment the only advantage of the Raphael is the keyboard, if you really need one:

1. The screen resolution of the iphone is not VGA, but the screen size is bigger (3.5 against 2.8) and this is a big advantage. The screen quality is great and the keyboard is bigger because of the size, so for many people it is not a problem to type.

2. Programs start much faster on iphone. Yes, they do!

3. The OS is much more stable for the moment. Plus, iphone comes with a stable version of a web browser, not with a beta version of Opera (which I like, but still it is beta!).

4. The iphone is really easy to use.

Cheers,

Eriol
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] WatskeBart:
I also agree with Eriols arguments. The program starting part can be quick on HTC i think that depends on how your ROM is configured.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bxsteez:
I think that brings it back to what WatskeBart said earlier about the iphone being a gadget not a power house phone. Don't get me wrong I have nothing against the iphone i think the hardware is excellent for a second try but there need to be some tweaking. They should open up the software and do like google did for andriod offer 10k for the best iphone progs.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] steveoidm:
The ONLY advantage is the keyboard???? Have a read through this thread. There are about 7 or 8 features that I use on a daily basis that the iphone does not have. I wish it did, its a nice phone and great for video / audio.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Flippy_TK:
For the games part I have to object:

Check this videos of the iphone with counter-strike:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCSuxHuM6Zg

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuRVefg5D2o

They would like to have counter on the iphone, but the only way to have it is to use VNC (so running in main computer and use the iphone as a controlling device and screen) or a "CS like" on a doom emulator

If you check around on the net you realise that for WM devices you have the following games freely available:

Doom 1 and 2

Hexen 1 and 2

Quake 1, 2 and 3 Arena (AND YOU CAN PLAY ON A MULTIPLAYER MODE ON LAN!!!)

+ you have a pack of games (counting already some freeware using the accelerometer of the HTC Touch Pro)

+ MSDOS emulation (and potentially all MSDOS games, but still have to test)

And don't forget that with the full keyboard, keys and the "2nd touch controller" part of the HTC you can more easily play

For the games part, I would rather vote for the HTC Raphael. (If I get it to run fast as for the moment it is a little slow, but I don't wanna sacrifice TF3D)

I don't like notches and holepunches, but I'm not a fan of big bezels either. That's why I am currently looking for full-screen phones with relatively thin bezels, such as the OnePlus 5T and Samsung Galaxy Note 9. And since those two really the only options I could come up with, I decided to start this thread, hoping to receive some input on devices that fit in this category. So, feel free to leave your thoughts or recommendations on the above mentioned or other smartphones below. Thanks in advance!

Edit: What I am looking for are phones with the front camera and all that stuff in the top bezel. So no phones with motorized cameras or things like that. The reason I linked the 5T and Note 9 is because they resemble exactly that.

Hi,

I use different apps for sports tracking, mostly for paragliding and each of them records highly fluctuating altitudes. Here is an example:View attachment 5174677

Practically, this was a very constant descent, so it should be more or less a straight line. My girlfriend uses the same apps but on a Pixel 4a and gets smooth altitudes. Factory resetting the phone also didn't help... So I really think, this a general problem with my particular phone or Pixel 3as in general. Does anybody else have such problems? Or even a solution?
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] mruno:
The graph you posted only shows the end result and the reason for the fluctuations could be many things.

I would think the app or graphing software you are using would ignore readings that are over a certain threshold, so check the settings. Or you can just upgrade to a 4a.
[Google Pixel 3a Questions & Answers] macglide:
Thank you! As it affects all apps I really think that it must be a faulty output of the GPS. As those tracks are always recorded in an unobstructed environment (the air ;-) ) I can exclude almost all errors discussed in your linked article. They would maybe explain 10s of meters of fluctuation but not ~500m. Those are also not singular readings but a couple of readings in a row, so not really outliers. I just wanted to check if there are others with the same problem or if my phone is defect.

[Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Questions & Answers] voyager529:
I've been pretty happy with MyBackup Pro (https://www.rerware.com). It's like $7 or something for the Pro version (the free version allows backup/restore on the same phone, but the 'gotcha' is that you need Pro to move between phones). It works on both rooted and non-rooted phones (the latter obviously being more limited), it allows for very granular backup tasks, it's flexible with download locations (internal, SD Card, there's even a desktop app to use your computer as a repo) and its SMS/MMS backup/restore is *much* faster than Titanium Backup.

Don't get me wrong, TB is still fantastic for freezing/thawing apps, but MBP has been solid for this task. 10/10 would recommend.

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] :
Hi everyone,

I've been trying to get TWRP to stick for a while now, but still haven't been able to get it to install. A while ago I managed to flash Resurrection Remix using Lineage recovery which does work, but since Lineage recovery is quite limited, I really wanted to get TWRP to work. Since TWRP 3.5.0 released yesterday, I gave it another shot hoping that they fixed the issue, to no success.

I can get into TWRP just fine by temp booting it with fastboot, but after flashing the installer zip, any recovery that was previously installed gets wiped and the device will reboot when trying to get into recovery. I can still boot my phone otherwise.

The steps I took to get to this point:

Unlocked bootloader

fastboot boot twrp.img

Decrypt using screen pattern (successfully)

Flashed twrp installer zip (no error messages, process finishes successfully)

Reboot into recovery (both from twrp and bootloader at a later point)

Things I've tried:

Use a different TWRP version. Same problem as described above on both 3.4.x and 3.5.x, can't get it to decrypt on lower versions due to Android 10.

Install to recovery ramdisk, this just breaks things even more, probably because it's an A/B device?

Try a different recovery. Lineage recovery works just fine, but it's very very limited. Would really like to get TWRP working.

Trying to flash the zip results in no error messages, but any previously installed recovery gets wiped and magisk is uninstalled, which leads me to believe that it has done at least something to the boot img.

Thank you in advance.

EDIT 25.02.2021:

- Attached TWRP log

- Log didn't want to attach, they can be found here: https://pastebin.com/awnhHDBU
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Icarus_Radio:
Same question here. It seems that you can only boot from TWRP, not install it.

switch recovery with recovery_ramdisk
[Huawei P Smart ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bokkahontas:
twrp installation succeded with _ramdisk, thanks for the fast reply!

I followed then instructions from official lineage 16 wiki (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/figo/install) to install lineageOS 16. Sideload of the actual zip (lineage-16.0-20210115-nightly-figo-signed) in twrp also worked perfectly and I eagerly tipped on "reboot" in twrp hoping to see my new OS booting for the the first time... BUT:

Unfortunately I got stuck at a probably similar point as Capybar (see https://xdaforums.com/t/solved-unab...k-recovery-and-cant-boot-into-system.4126357/):

Phone stopped being able to enter any recovery at all. The system itself does not boot. The HUawei start screen "Your device has been unlocked and cannot be trustet (...) only tells me (...) "Your device is booting now...", the recovery option never appears (previously in the start screen with 'unlocked device' warning it used to suggest pressing volume UP to enter recovery, now it only shows "Your device is booting now").

Then it shows me the Teamwin Logo and at that point freezes.

I cannot acces the phone with adb oder fastboot from host machine..

=> Does anybody knows if there is a possibility to gain acces to recovery?
[Huawei P Smart ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] haky 86:
if stuck on Huawei splash screen, just run factory reset with stock recovery.

to boot into recovery on this crap;

* Keep pressing on vol up + vol down + power.

* Leave vol down button only and keep pressing other 2 buttons once huawei splash screen appears .

* you should able to boot into recovery.
[Huawei P Smart ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] Bokkahontas:
thnx again haky !!!

Nevertheless feeling stupid now (or rather like my mum when I first modified our home-PC autoexec.bat on a 386DX machine in MS DOS to make the PC wish her a good morning on the VGA display) .Back to topic:

I managed to get the the phone start in recovery boot mode asking me

(1) Press Power key to continue

(2) Press Volume Uo key (...) to enter erecovery to restore aour device

(3) Vour device will continue to booot (...)

=> all options result in the same(?) everlasting bootloop

so I succesfully tried fastboot boot mode (error 64 message on screen) and flashed your stock recovery:

$ fastboot devices -l

> XEDDU*********** fastboot usb:2-2

$ fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk 9.1_stock_rec.img

target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes

sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (32768 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.156s]

writing 'recovery_ramdisk'...

OKAY [ 0.269s]

finished. total time: 1.425s

Rebooting phone again leads to bootloop :(

Edit: Not the very same bootloop since twrp-logo does not appear anymore but phone message is "Your device is booting now ... " and that's it

Got some ideas?

Edit#2 [SOLVED]: put fastboot option -w into command for flashing stock recovery => phone resurrected to stock software (at least) :)

After flashing it again with the -w option, it works again.

An other issue I have is, when I try to wipe eg. cache, it works, but while trying to update the partition details, it "failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument)". The same happens, when I install something.

1) @haky 86 : I can also boot into the (3.5.0) recovery

EDIT (fyi): could boot into that recovery, but after installation of stock rom (and likewise in official linage rom) my SIM Card was not detected.

Using "old" stock recovery [9.1_stock_rec.img] and SIM Card works fine. Still that Wifi-Password-Problem...

2) @Zet24 : this looks rather to a twrp 3.4.0.0 error (?) because previously I got the same which finally ended in stucked teamwin screen and bootloop (see above)

3) @Zet24 : I managed to flash and boot into official figo lineage 16 ROM (lineage-16.0-20210122-nightly-figo-signed) by copying the zip file on sd card and install it directly in twrp (install >> from zip file) -- actually I don't know why sideload method doesn't work..
