[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Giannis86:
just my 2 cents here..

i love opera..i find it very easy to use. The only problem i have is that scrolling through the bookmarks is slow (without the scrolling bar)

as about the finger size, i have to say its a matter of getting used to.you have to get used to where exactly you have to touch the screen with your "big" fingers to get it right.

Calling on its own: This is related to the phone unlocking andthen the screen touch does the rest. What you have to do is make sure its locked when not in use. There are many applications that do that. I use sensor lock, others are throttlelock, s2u2, etc

Personally i dont have many issues with the contact list. Then again, you can always type the first letters and it will find them in no time..so no real need to scroll unless you have to.Dont forget you can always use the dpad and the ok button to select (if you cant do it with touch)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hellios:
Thanks for the replies... I didnt really compare this to the iphone, so not sure why all the iphone talk :S.

I spent the last 20 minutes, repeatedly re-aligning the screen till it recognised my input well, so I guess that issue is fixed.

I then downloaded a contact replacement, so now its kind of better (apart from the fact I have to go to programs to reach contacts) - anyone know how to replace tabs so I can link it to my new contact manager.

I am going to try Skyfire as a replacement to opera mobile...

And as for Iphone being for idiots - I was one of the first to get the Ipod Touch, and whenever my friends would use it for the first time, everything worked fast, and it was easy to use, so your right it was for idiots lool.

My belief of why the Iphone is so popular -

When I first handed my touch pro to my friends, it was dog **** slow, and they got really lost when it went into the dirty winmo interface. Because I paid over £400 for it, I defended it to no end, saying it was the first firmware and it would get better. But this is what seperates the iphone to every other device. When a newbie uses the iphone, it just works and works quickly. So word of mouth of the product is excellent. Even though the HTC touch pro has more under the hood and better features one time users never see it, instead all they see is a slow interface with steep learning curve.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
Be aware of the fact that Skyfire is only partially working on VGA displays -- changing the orientation and possibly some other operations will cause glitches. They've promised a VGA version, but they haven't suggested when that might be available.

Not to keep the iphone praise/bashing alive but....

I owned WM phones/PPCs for the last 6 years and have loved them. But with any techie I became bored with my Kaiser once all the fun had been lost with rom flashing. It was time to find a new phone to mess around with and flash crap on. I picked up an Iphone just for fun and immediately though "wow, it's fast, intuitive and simply works". I quickly bought a Touch Diamond and started to compare them head to head. the Diamond had a great screen. But it was slow, very slow, even with tweaked roms. I sold the Diamond about 2 weeks into owning it and have not regretted it one bit.

BUT, I do plan on buying a Touch Pro and getting rid of the Iphone. The iphone has its issues like any phone but it has worked almost flawlessly for months now and never slows down like the diamond/kaiser/wizard/hermes/excalibur....that I have owned.

Is the iphone for idiots/sheep? Probably, but for me it was nice to have a phone that simply worked, and worked well. I just miss the big things like mms, cut and paste, OPERA, file explorer, TomTom........ I am willing (I think) to go back to a slower phone for more options.

one last thing, anyone who has actually used an iphone will agree, thier onscreen keyboard is the best in any device I have ever used. WTF was HTC thinking with the Diamond's onscreen keyboards. There almost worthless in comparison. I can type almost as fast with my iphone's onscreen keyboard as I could with my kaisers built in keyboard.

HTC has a long ways to go with the TF3D interface, it is very slow. I like the idea of it but the implementation is just poor. It has been 3 or 4 months now since I last used it so maybe it has gotten better.

Guess I will see when the Touch Pro hits AT&T's shelves later this week(I hope).

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Madzilla:
look fanboy if you are such a iPhone lover and hate winmo and htc then take your htc back and GTFO. No point in whining that all PPC phones are not just like iPhone. it wont change anything.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Idk what you're talking about lawl. The only brands I would ever think about owning and have owned is Samsung, Sony, and HTC. I despise all other brands. So I guess yeah, I do hate all other brands besides these 3. TF3D is fast on my kaiser so I have no idea what some people are talking about it being slow. If you people don't like your diamond/touch pro, just stop whining and move on to the iPhone if you think it's so great. I guarantee you'll miss a lot of features if you've been with WinMo for a long time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] hellios:
Seriously people... are these faults due to a bad handset? or is it a widespread issue?

As for skyfire... installed it, and I could only see half the app!! Shame - there online demo seemed so good.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
Yeah, I'm really going to miss Skyfire until they issue their VGA upgrade (that is, assuming AT&T brings out the Fuze first! :p -- it seems like the two companies are competing for who can delay the longest!). I use it for nearly all my browsing on my 8525, and I like it a lot.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] LordLugard:
Look, the iPhone haters can hate on the iPhone all they want but you can't dismiss the fact that Opera Mobile on the Touch Pro is barely acceptable. Mobile Safari beats it i'd have to admit. Like an earlier posted mentioned, it's slow as bollocks...OMG is it slow. Slow to acknowledge any input, slow to refresh/redraw and so on. Granted it's better than Explorer but just barely.

I played with a friend's G1 and the web browser puts Opera Mobile to shame by a long shot. I was jealous. Now i still love my Sprint Touch Pro but gravely disappointed in the web browser, it could be so much better.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Eh. Haven't noticed about Opera. Could care less about opera. I use Netfront and Skyfire :) But skyfire is out of the race till they develope it for VGA :(
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] baboola:
is the opera complaints here applicable to all users? or is it limited to a few % of lemons out there?

if it's a lemon issue then i'm not too concerned...

and look guys...every product has some flaws and may have lemons here and there...even apple makes lemons - 1% of 2nd gen iphone...10mil translates into 100k...that's aweful lot of lemons don't u think?

we all know why we're here waiting for TP...cuz we're at least somewhat tech savvy....if you're not interested in TP, you might wish to click here:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Kraize:
Yes, it is lol.

Lolololol I love that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] asadkhan1988:
hellios,

i understand the frustration of the touch screen esp. when its in my pocket; sure it does funny things when pressure is applied on the touch screen(duh?), and if the case applied pressure to the screen than such things happen. HTCs flag ship phone, im sure is not a dud.

[OPPO Find X5 Pro General] franciscoherrera84:
Hi guys it’s Frankie from Frankie Tech!

I’m happy to announce that I’ve been selected as an Oppo global product ambassador!

My journey with Oppo actually started in 2018. You may not know this, but one of the first phones I ever reviewed on the channel was the Oppo Find X. I remember picking this phone up very early on when my channel had only a few hundred subscribers, and was amazed by its gorgeous AMOLED display, pop up camera module and sleek stunning looks. I knew this was an amazing phone I needed to share with the world.

That’s why I’m so excited to share my full experience on the Find X5 Series, giving the Find X5 Pro the full “Frankie Tech” treatment and continuing this journey checking out awesome new products as an Oppo ambassador!

Let’s go!

and ? by using vanced you don't see any ads, so you don't pay google, and more important : you watch content but don't pay content creators at all !

In other terms you steal content exactly like downloading an dvdrip movie ....

You know, you can pay Youtube premium for as low as 1.5$ /month just use a vpn and go in turkey to make the payment.

You don't just remove ads, you also gain many youtube options, and the most important : Youtube Music Premium.

PS : what is the link between Vanced and mi 11t pro ?

Just flood the forums with not related content ?
[Xiaomi 11T Pro] NOSS8:
This is just information for those who use Youtube vanced and there has not always been advertising on You tube. Essentially vanced allowed listening on a locked screen.

[Xiaomi 11T Pro] Cubiss:
It's not a big deal for me since I'm paying for YouTube premium but Vance had some really nice features .

A few that I used were an actual global video quality controls, better background play, swipe controls and amoled dark theme. There's definitely still a place for Vanced.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] Swooop78:
Is anyone else having problems getting the LG G8X to work on Cricket? I would really like to use my phone again on Cricket. Here's a post I made to a different forum:

I own a factory unlocked LG G8X (LM-G850QM) running Android 11, Software version G850QM30a, Android security patch August 1, 2021. Checking for updates says I am running the latest software version for current OS. Using the IMEI compatibility checker on Cricket’s website tells me my device is compatible. I returned to Cricket on February 25th after having tried Mint Mobile. (I only got 1 bar of reception with Mint). So after signing back up with Cricket on the 25th my service worked great for two weeks. Then starting on March 10th all incoming calls started going directly to voicemail. Any outgoing call I tried to make immediately gave me a “Call Ended” message. I contacted Cricket support and was told I needed to enable the HD Voice option on my phone. No such setting exists. (I’m with Verizon now and that setting exists. It just disappears when the Cricket SIM is inserted.) Using the *#*#4636#*#* menu I can see that VoLTE is not being provisioned. I was then told by Cricket support that my phone is not compatible with their network.

Today I called LG Support to see if they could offer any information. The LG Rep told me my phone is compatible and should work. The Rep even offered to do a 3 way call with Cricket to see what the issue is. First Cricket tried telling me that the issue was because my phone is an unlocked phone. The LG Rep told the Cricket Rep that the whole point of an unlocked phone is that it is compatible with all carriers. Then the Cricket Rep said it was probably because LG is no longer making mobile phones. The LG Rep said that was wrong and that LG would continue to support its current phones. Finally, the Cricket Rep said that my phone was recently removed from their list of supported phones. It still shows as compatible with the IMEI checker. The LG Rep asked why the phone was removed from the list of supported phones, and the Cricket Rep had no answer.

Im starting to think that I have a perfectly fine, fully capable unlocked phone that Cricket will not allow on their network because they want me to buy one of their phones. Im not sure how this is legal or what I can do about it. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Oh and Cricket also refused to refund the purchase I made on Feb 25th for $75 (SIM, Activation, 1 Month of service). Cricket suggested I call my card issuer and dispute the charges.
[LG G8X ThinQ Questions & Answers] brandon9271:
I had an unlocked Sprint LG G8X that I used on Cricket for all of last year and then they kept telling me was about to stop working back in Febuary.. So, I just bought another G8X that was AT&T branded instead of Sprint. It's been working just fine but unfortunately its on Android 9 and wont do the OTA update.

[General Questions and Answers] Haigo1412:
Hello everyone,

So I have a rare issue. I have a OnePlus 6. Today, it started to act really weird. It became so slow that even swiping on home screen with no apps opened takes like a minute to register. I forced power off the device. When powering on again, it seemed like it take around 10 minutes or so to boot. Again, extremely slow. I tried everything from restarting and clearing app cache while in the system itself but no luck.

So, next thing I booted to recovery mode, typed my pin, and cleared system cache and settings. It started to progress until just a tiny bit left before the end of the progress bar, and it got stuck again. Kept like this for a long time. I had to force power off the device again. Now, when I try to power on the device, it launches into Recovery Mode. I tried my pin but it wouldn't decrypt and looks like the device is no longer recognizing it. I tried a couple of "default passwords" but it wouldn't work either. It only gives the option to "Forget Password?" Which should wipe everything off the phone. The only other mode it launches into is Fastboot Mode. I'm using Stock everything and Device State is Locked. I'm not sure where to go from here.

Now my question is, is there any way I can open my device again without losing data? Maybe some way I can pull files using adb in that state then factory reset? Or maybe someway I can bypass Recovery Mode and boot again? I have important data that I can no longer access if the only way to fix this is by wiping everything!

Can anyone help? Much appreciated in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
When a phone permanently boots into Recovery mode then either Android OS is corrupted - for whatever reason - or phone's bootloader is misconfigured.

If phone is accessible by either ADB or Fastboot you can try to exit Recovery mode by forcing phone to boot into Android OS ( Normal mode AKA System ) by applying the related ADB and/or Fastboot command.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] ShitHawk:
I installed LineageOS barbet 18.1 and it went very smooth. The phone boots up and looks just like the GUI on my old Moto G7 Plus with LineageOS. I went through the first boot setup and it seemed like everything was working. Then, I inserted the SIM card and started the phone. In "Settings" under "Network & Internet" I select "Mobile network" and the only thing I see is a switch turned off and it wont let me turn it on. Under mobile data, it says, "no sim card". the same sim works in my other phone. I have taken it out and put it back in my old Moto G7 plus and it is recognized, however, it is not recognized in my new Google PIxel 5a. I have rebooted several times and closely examined and cleaned the SIM and reinstalled, with same results. Under "About phone" it says, SIM status "Not available". Why doesn't this phone see my SIM?

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] owjfnqe:
I have the same "No SIM card" issue on my new Japan-sourced pixel 5a. I've tried it with the latest three versions of LineageOS barbet 18.1, and none work. My SIM works in other phones.

The only things I've got installed are Magisk, and the RethinkDNS firewall.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] owjfnqe:
I just found the following Pixel 5a issue on the LineageOS gitlab, which reports similar symptoms.

Pixel 5a - No Sim Card Detected - Confirmed Working On Google Android 11/12 (#4235) · Issues · LineageOS / issues / android · GitLab

Expected Behavior Pixel 5a should see the SIM card and connect to the mobile carrier.

gitlab.com

Plus another similar: https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/-/issues/4444

The solutions offered are a mix of "flash back to an exact stock image first" and "it works when MindTheGapps is installed"
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] ShitHawk:
i found out what I did wrong! There is an instruction I ignored in the very beginning at https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/barbet/install

"

Warning: Before following these instructions please ensure that the device is on the latest Android 11 firmware.

This is not necessarily the newest available version! Please up- or downgrade to the required version before proceeding (guides can be found on the internet!)."

so after the first try, I had barbet that was written for Android 11 on a phone that still had android 12 on its ROMs

My phone was version 12 and needed to be downgraded. Instead of using the normal download from lineageos, I installed a much larger file 1.6GB but I forgot where I got it. anyway, it worked.

I was not aware until today that T-mo now counts Ookla Speed Test data and Open Signal data towards you data plan now. They annouced in 2014 that they would NOT count towards your data plan, but it appears sometime in 2021 they quitely changed this policy.

I only know becuase I hit 83 Gb in February testing the P6P vs S22 Ultra.

Activesync 4.5 problem

I'd like to jump into this discussion. I also have a problem with Activesync 4.5 recognizing and connecting to me Herm200. The oddest thing is that it has functioned correctly, but for some reason it isn't any more. I have two of the same device and it is the same for both. I also have a Wizard (T-Mobile MDA) and that device has no problems what so ever connecting.

Here are the specs of the OS installed on the Herm200:

WM5 ROM version 2.11.255.1

Radio version 1.38.00.10

Protocol version 32.71.7020.12H

ExtROM version 2.11.255.102 installed.

Any assistance to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated.:p

Maybe it sounds bizarre, but also try a different cable, in a different usb port, turn off your computer firewalls, and try cleaning your mini usb on the phone. I got a piece of dirt in mine and nearly tore out my hair until i got it fixed. I had a cable go bonkers, which gave me a lot of grief, and one time the usb port decided it DIDNT like my phone anymore ;)

Plus, for some reason i have to diable the firewall everytime on nod32 until i can connect.

Hope one of those helps....

Can't speak for anyone else but if I try to sync with Outlook 2007 all that happens is it goes into a weird loop syncing blank entries continually. Last time I tried I had over 300 blank contacts in Outlook and none of my Outlook contacts on my device ! No messages nothing. That of course is when it does anything, if I delete the pairing then quite often when I plug it back in it will repair and then do nothing ! I now use my laptop to sync up as it works with 2003 reliably.
