[Touch Pro, Fuze General] theomni:
Hello everyone. My Fuze, which I will be getting next week, will be my first WinMo SmartPhone (my first smartphone for that matter as well), and as suggested, I will flash the rom to get rid of AT&T Bloatware and to have my device run faster. The only problem I'm having is that I can't find a tutorial for flashing the fuze anywhere, on google or here.

I was just hoping if someone can put up a guide or a link to a guide for this newbie. I have downloaded the Elite Team Rom and everything, but I'm not sure what things, such as HardSPL and what not are or why I need them.

Basically, I'm new at this and I would like some guidance.

Thank you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Da_G:
Here's a short summary that may be of use:

Step 1: Install Activesync, get your device sync'ed up (as a guest is fine, you don't need to pair it)

Step 2: Download HardSPL, and follow the included instructions. This only needs to be done once, the reason is to allow your phone to accept ROM's from other sources (like here)

Step 3: Download the ROM you want to install. Should come with a .nbh and an .exe, run the .exe and follow the onscreen instructions to install the ROM.

Should you need to revert to the stock ROM for some reason, reverse the steps (download and install stock rom, then stock SPL)

Did you look at the Raphael ROM Development forum? There is a Sticky there very nicely written by mskip. Strangely enough it's called:

[Resources] Flashing your First Raphael Rom (For Newbs)

And yes those instructions work perfectly on the Fuze.

Hello !

This update focus on the optimisation of the system AND the

camera part.

What are your toughts on this specific matter ?

Better by any means ?
[Asus Zenfone 9] Brotuck:
Still on the 2030 version here, what region are you in ?
[Asus Zenfone 9] Eduardomcp:
You can update manually, if you wish, by downloading the firmware from the asus support website and leaving the zip file on the root of the phone. A popup will appear upon reboot asking if you want to update.

I am on the latest and see no difference, unfortunately.
[Asus Zenfone 9] Kelevra1902:

Try the Android 13 beta, the camera is better there. Also, the experience has been stable for me so far, no major bugs discovered yet. Nicely suitable for daily driver.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Thresher:
I would like to help with hosting a Rom as backup, and as a speedier download option.

Does anyone out there have any rough stats on the number of downloads being processed by rapidshare or any other host for a more popular ROM?

If I hosted a 105mg ROM I could allow 14,000 downloads. It just doesn't sound like much to me...

Thanks before I go screw myself with web host overages.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Phantisy:
Well roms are about 80MB on average and i don't think they would hit 14k downloads a month.

I can host the roms for download also if anyone would like. I have unlimited BW and speed is fair. Let me know. I can put up a custom upload like I had before.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] rayn3:
Hi. I have not visited since some time this great place, but for some time i'm encounter some issues with my S21+, Exynos version with 8Gb/128Gb.

More exactly, i have some long waiting-times when i'm opening some apps during my home connection via Wi-Fi, on both versions: 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. For instance, Samsung Weather almost is not updating when i'm requesting this or if i'm opening the app. On other apps, local one, similar with ebay, i cannot access my account, it just shows me that is loading, but nothing happens. Strange is that if i'm connected via mobile-data, i don't have this issues. This leads me to believe that is something wrong with my Wi-Fi connections, only that i don't know what's the problem. I'm having a lot of other devices connected to wi-fi and no issue. I'm owing this phone since more than one year and this issues i'm encounter only in the last 1,5months, i would say. I remember that also in the past i've encounter same issues with the former galaxy phones i have owned: Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S20+. Last week i've also performed two times Factory Reset from the Recovery, but seems that this annoying issues continue. This is the reason i've finally landed here as seems for me the last place to receive some advices. During first reset i've restored some backups i've did before, but noticed the same problems. Second time i did not restored anything and no improvements. I really don't understand what should be wrong with my wi-fi network as long as is worked for one year and afterwards suddenly it creates me headaches. Phone is updated to the latest available OTA software which is Android 12, ONE UI 4.1, baseband ver: ...CVH7

Any advices will be kindly appreciated. Somehow, Samsung is trying to convince me that i need to upgrade? Which seems sad for me after so many years spent with them, more than ten years when i have owned i think all their galaxy models.

I am using Indian version of HTC Touch Diamond (2G Version).

I want to filter SMS which are received or sent to particular contact to be moved to one folder. Does anybody have any idea about this?

I have tried SMSOrganizer trial but it crashed 2 times and i had missed my lots of sms, also it was not working fine.

Or simply can I configure like; SMS received from particular contact does not appear on manila 3d app??

Please advice me..:rolleyes:

think you will struggle to do this with TF3D handlingling your texts

Therefore I suggest you switch off threaded sms, use TF3D config to remove text messaging from the TF3D interface

Then use the various sms tools - easyhelpers sms security used to work well on my Artemis

Because I like TF3D, I haven't used any such program on my diamond

Hi,

The bluetooth transfer speed between my X1 and other phones is pathetic. I tried transferring between the X1 and a W810i. Earlier, I get only 20 kBps, whereas, with other phones and the W810i I get 40 kBps.

Can you please tell me whether others face similar problems, or i need to tweak some option here.
[XPERIA X1 General] samkatta:
The other phones you've mentioned, are they WM devices?

because I think this is a WM problem and not the Xperia itself.
[XPERIA X1 General] bharat4ever:
No, they are normal java based SE mobiles...

Do all WM based mobiles have suck slow speeds? nothing we can do?

How much does a HTC diamond or a touch pro get? Anyone?
[XPERIA X1 General] BuddyLee:
Well may be something similar to what you guys are experiencing but I have a bluetooth stereo headset and the quality of the phone speed drops drastically when I am using bluetooth stereo. When I have the phone on watching a movie on core it loses frames alot.
[XPERIA X1 General] scar45:
I too experience MUCH longer sync times over Bluetooth than my old HTC Universal. I am not sure what's going on here, but I believe that a lot of these Xperia Bluetooth problems are caused by Sony Ericsson's proprietary Bluetooth stack. I had the problem of it randomly turning BT off, and I was able to fix that with a MortScript I wrote which can be found in this forum.

Kind of frustrating how long it takes to sync 3 e-mails (no attachments) via Bluetooth with my Vista laptop.

Hopefully SE releases a Bluetooth patch that optimizes speed and reliability...seems like it's needed quite bad...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] stewarta13wsb:
So now I have my Watch 5 Pro I thought I'd set up Samsung Pay, haven't used it for over a year, maybe more, and it's gone - it's Samsung Wallet.

Pretty tortuous set-up, and it seems none (or very few) of my cards work any more, or not without Samsung + anyway, which means I seem to need Curve. I think I've got everything added but the curve option just comes up on the phone as the curve card not the other 2 I added.

I now have no idea what I'm doing or how it works, or select the card I want? And I haven't even tried to add it to the watch yet!!

Is it just my advancing years or is this all just a pain to set up. Should I try Google pay? Is it simpler and will it work from the watch?

[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] jhay006:
hello just sharing and for my reference also

last sept 25 i bricked my phone totally . all partitions broke, and try to use the SP Flash tool with bypass but unfortunately i don't know why bypass tool doesn't work on my phone

so i search a lot on google and ask some help and then i found MTK Client Tool

its a small tool with bugs below

[It can't flash preloader]

yes you can flash the preloader using the tool but it will not boot your phone

the method below is the actual steps i had done , my phone is Redmi note 8 pro Begonia Global , you can improvise it to make it easier ,

What you need

1. python

2. Windows/ Mac or Linux

3. MTK client tool you can download it here https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient

4. Stock rom , any stock rom (fastboot version)

5. adb/fastboot tool

follow the instruction on the github how to install it

1. assuming you have the stockrom files , go to the firmware/images folder and create a file (mtkflash.bat)

2. paste below

3. then disconnect your phone if you already connected it

4. run the bat file from the cmd or just by clicking it

5. now it will wait for your phone to connect , hold vol up+ vol down + power on and connect it to your laptop/pc , don't release until flashing start

6. it will take few hours to finish it so take a cup of coffee

7. once done , the phone will still not boot (see the note for the bugs above)

8. still on the cmd disconnect the phone again and run this python mtk plstage --preloader=/path/of/your/stock/rom/preloader_begonia.bin

9. repeat step 5

10. once finish the phone will temporary boot , setup your redmi note 8 pro as usual

11. once setup complete go to settings and activate developer option

12. on the cmd run adb reboot fastboot / adb reboot bootloader

13. the phone will not turn on , don't worry repeat step 8

14. it will now boot to your fastboot

15. flash the preloader using fastboot , fastboot flash preloader /path/of/your/stock/rom/preloader_begonia.bin

16. once done , reboot and you will see that the phone will now boot :3

Credits to owner of mtkclient

Edit:

i forgot to mention , be aware on those android sparse file , mtkclient supports only a raw image file not android sparse file , you can flash android sparse file anyway but it will not boot your android .

you need first convert those sparse file to raw image file it can be done by linux /mac os(macport)/windows(WSL)

using simg2img command , once done you can reflash

Btw , if you had bricked your phone during flashing custom rom using twrp , custom rom contains only some of firmware files , boot , dbto , recovery , vendor , vbmeta and system , so you can flash those affected partition , using the command above , just copy and paste the line that you need to flash and then volla , your phone boots and recovered :) lucky if you have your backup rom , you just need to flash affected files with your backup file .

Wait for my simple tool to make this easier :3 and will work on other MTK phones ^^

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Barabba11:
Hi mates, I need you help and suggestons,

unfortunately my phone felt down and I needed to change screen, the service which installed it asked me to choose one of the available (chinese) screens I I select the most expensive one. In the beginning all was ok, but time by time (about 1,5months) the usage gests worst, when the screen start to be a bit dirty it start recognize touches anywhere (moslty in the up side of screen), itself does commands, it's not possible to do nothing. WHen this happens I need to keep press the power button for 10 seconds tille ht ephone reboots, after reboot all become regular.

My considerations:

1) it doesn't seams a defective screen or a bad assembly, because after reboot all is good, if there were such problems a simple reboot can't fix them.

2) it looks like an incompatibility between OS and the touchscreen firmware, and probably it's something Xiaomi does with intention to create problems for cloned spare parts. Maybe the OS is "instructing" the touch screen controller how much sensibility to use, how much it can be dirty, etc.etc? the protocol of the latest OS isn't at all compatible with the cloned device and it result on crash of functioning. A reboot solves the problem.

If that is right, will a ROM update to another OS (not IMOU, as I have now) can fix the problem? Or there is any app that can perform a touch screen reset? Or any other trick to solve my problem? Than you for answers
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Barabba11:
Hi mates I need help, with cold weather coming it got crazy as soon it feels cold. WHat can I do to solve problem?

Updating ROM to a non official can solve it? The display isn't broken! A reboot fixes always the problem..
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] dangtoi1993:
It is not original screen from xiaomi vendors, just a oem part with lower quality (chinese sell it alot on aliexpress with many type amoled, oled and LCD panel too).

Ghost touch easy happen on oem screen no matter how expensive it is.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Barabba11:
Thank you for your kind answer, this is a really big issue.. it's very annoying using the phone like that, I've noticed it suddelny starts when the phone is exposed to cold temperature: lowering the screen temperature quite suddenly means it goes crazy, when it's crazy the only way to fix the proble is reboot the phone, with reboot it calibrates again and works ok, till next event. MY question are:

1) Can I forse myself a calibration?

2) Does other ROMs, not MUI, manage and fix this problem? (using another touch driver may solve the problem, chances are MUI introduced updates and become more selective to work with only original displays, to disancurage the OEM parts, so using another ROM wuth an older driver may solve the problem)

3) If I buy and add a protective glass on display, does it behave better?

Your experience is essential for me, thank you for posting!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] dangtoi1993:
imo

1. you can not

2. Roml sorfware can not

3. Protective glass make lower touch experience.

- Not all oem part come with defect, some working fine, it is just random.

- To repair you need replace new one, or buy original screen for sure.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Barabba11:
Thanks for answer, I do believe that the problem can be managed by drivers, "resettig" the touch chip wil correct the problem. Probably the defect is on the firmware of the touch panel, it gots errors from touch.. ok, but it doesn't understand it's just revealing mre and more ghost touches. These FW have the task to filter out the ghost,, maybe they don't do it well.

A second chance is the comuinication between this chip and the MUI OS, the connection goes broken by some mistakes, "unalligned" and MUI got any touch position from nothing.

I don't believe the screen is defective, because after reboot it works perfectly, thil the next strong environment conditions change..

What is Roml software?
