[Palm Treo Pro] ThrillHill1:
Palm Treo Pro: say no to cracks!!!

I purchased my Palm Treo Pro on March 15th, 2009. Like many of you, I was excited to purchase this phone. Also like many of you, during my research of the phone, I came across numerous sites listing the spontaneous body cracks which appeared on the phone after a disturbingly short period of time.

I thought to myself, "I'm very careful with my phones...surely my being cautious will prevent any cracks from developing on the phone, unless I drop it, sit on it, Doc Brown distracts me and I accidentally leave it on top of the DeLorean as I approach 88 MPH, etc."

So as I'm leaving work yesterday, I pull my phone out of the case...and there are two cracks! Both cracks are located right above the send & end buttons. I couldn't believe it.

Now, many people say they baby this phone, and I am no different. It wasn't even a month! I contacted my retailer who, very nicely, pointed me towards contacting Palm directly. After getting transferred a couple of times, I was finally connected to a Palm CSR named Laura.

Since I was in customer service many years ago, I know how tough it can be and I didn't want to lay into her. I know firsthand how much it sucks to deal with pissed-off customers when you personally can't control what happened to them, nor the company rules which you have to abide by. So I was nice!

Laura asked for my name, if I had contacted Palm previously, the serial number of the phone, etc. She then said my phone would be repaired under warranty, but that it would take 3 ( as in the number directly following "2") weeks to get my phone back. Three weeks! Naturally I was taken aback and asked, "why is it going to take that long?!??!" She said that Palm is currently in the process of upgrading their repair capabilities and that, unfortunately, was the reason for the delay.

After talking to her for a bit longer, I realized that I wasn't going to get to anything further from her. She said Palm would send me an email within 24hours on the return instructions.

I have an older back-up phone in case of emergencies, but Palm doesn't know this, and many people don't have the luxury of a back up phone. Clearly I had enough money to buy a high-end phone in the first place, so it's not the end of the world that my smartphone has cracks in it. On the other hand, I'm not wealthy and I worked hard & saved so I could buy this phone. My last smartphone - not the backup I mentioned - was a T-Mobile Dash. I loved that phone and it sucked that it got stolen from the gym. I sat on, dropped, & accidentally stepped on the Dash, and the only visible damage was a few scuffs on the battery cover. And this is after 2 years of use. Now, I've had the Treo Pro for less than a month, have babied it, and cracks have already developed on the body?!?!? That's not right.

I'm going to contact Palm again today and see if I can't get higher up the corporate chain to speed up the repair/replacement process. I'm also debating whether or not this is even worth my time since I may receive a replacement with the same faults.
[Palm Treo Pro] acidhax:
I have dropped, bumped, sat on, stepped on, skated on, and clunked around my treo pro, and it hasnt a single scuff or scratch, and not a single crack... You've now scared me into treating my phone with much much greater care.

My phone is from Bell, if that means anything, and it hasnt a single crack--god forbid-- yet.
[Palm Treo Pro] ThrillHill1:
Buyer beware?

I was reading on another major Treo site that it seems certain batches of the Treo Pro are suffering the most cracks. I'd have to conduct my own research before I'd call that the gospel truth, but it doesn't seem too far fetched. As far as TP's in Canada, I'm not sure what batch/week number they are, so hopefully Palm had already weeded out the design flaw with Bell's Treo Pros - and I feel it's safe to call it a design flaw at this point with the dozens of compelling testimonials I've read.
[Palm Treo Pro] decalex:
I too had the Pro with creaky case syndrome.. that advanced into cracks in the same places ppl have been talking about. I traded it in for a new one... and it started creaking slightly again. So, I bought a frkin case and now i don't think about it... that much. The Seido case is really nice tho.
[Palm Treo Pro] linuxsense:
Mine cracked in several spots after two months of normal use. I sent it back to Palm and they fixed it...bummer it took them 5 weeks :mad: Worst customer service experience ever.
[Palm Treo Pro] info[]box1:
I had my palm pro for two months now...If I didnt read this thread I would've never examined my device...In the back of my mind Im thinking not my phone...Well I discovered a hair line fracture above my wifi button...Ive been using an Seidio Innocase II since week one...Im speechless...

Cracks

I am a Treo Pro user from Bell Mobility in Canada and have had it round about a month now. After a good close inspection I find no cracks yet. Hopefully I won't!
[Palm Treo Pro] Quider:
Mine cracked after 1 month of use. Near power button.
[Palm Treo Pro] volzhina:
Cracks on Treo Pro

Palm Support is the most unsupportive support I’ve ever seen. Having a Treo Pro I don’t recommend it.

I found cracks on my Treo Pro device less than in one months after using it. It wasn’t bogging me until the body started piling off next to the cracks and falling apart. Now I have a hole on the body of the phone. I was trying to buy a new shell for my phone from Palm. Guess what? It costs 199$ to get a new shell from Palm. They just do not sell shells. It was a bad choice to buy Palm.

I have a tecno spark go 2022 phone, and I want to flash it, but I can't find a custom rom for it anywhere. Does anyone have a twrp and a LineageOS, or a Pixel Experience?
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
The phone is barely known and still new. So there isn't any development for it yet. Your best try would be to flash generic system images on it. See if any phhusson gsi works on it ? Those are the baseline of any gsi.

[Android TV General] Baroness1984:
While there are plenty of listings on YouTube for how to convert Android OS apps to Fire OS, there isn't much for the other way around. I know there used to be a thread for this, but it hasn't been updated in a long time. I had used a modded version of Watch TVG (now Fanduel Plus) to watch horse racing in glorious HD (for some reason, the website version of TVG only shows SD streams, and my cable operator only has SD, for the main TVG, and no TVG2 ...) but it stopped working ... was told I needed to update to the newest version, which I of course couldn't. Now that Fanduel Plus will also be offering international basketball leagues in addition to horse racing, the app seems more attractive than ever ... but no good on Android TV, unlike Fire TV, Roku, or Apple TV. If anyone has this app modded to work on Android TV (or any Android version, for that matter) , or a how to to on how to covert between the two similiar, but different, formats, that would be great.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Z0rr:
Hi all - hoping I can get some help here with the following as I have no idea what to do after failing to find any solutions this far.

I got an ROG Phone 5 (base model) a while back from a well known online marketplace reseller (never again!) and only recently tried using it, but for some reason the phone does not recognise or connect to any network at all. I have attached a few screenshots of what I mean. I get the same thing regardless of whatever SIM I try.

The only possible thing I can think of now (and am dreading) is that it may be a blacklisted phone but no idea how to confirm this.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Andrologic:
Does the device have an IMEI? Check that (but don't post your IMEI here).
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Z0rr:
Yes it does have an IMEI number (two in fact)
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] rhendywp:
this happened to me too. did you find the solution?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] oartalk:
This may be because of a recent update.

Remove the sim card, and reset it to factory settings.

There was a recent update that has caused problems.

I have the 5s, and the Wi-Fi connection has not been working since the last update, a few weeks ago. Also, now there is problems with the cellular data connection.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] rhendywp:
have you solve this problem ? i got this problem too since updating
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] mohitkumaryadav:
Same Problem facing in ROG5? if anyone found the solution please,............ tell me here?

Worst phone company of my life is ASUS:

After using 12 month device got new motherboard, and now after 6 month Network problem.

device has No damage, tear-wear, or water, never fallen, etc. In short no mistake is made by me???

All the faults of ASUS company, inr 50000 wasted?

I suggest no one to buy asus phones?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Csetoue:
Looks like no one solved this problem.

I also had this problem with a 5S of my family.

Tried many things (like update the firmware to the last version). But, nothing worked.

This got me very bored, because I used to like Asus products very much. I prefered to buy everything from them (here in Brazil there's only them, Samsung, Motorola and Apple, nowadays)...

I think Ill jump of this ship.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Morismano:
Try this as a last resort. The fingerprint, sim and wifi circuitry are locally close and distant from the rest of the circuitry. Is the fingerprint working or is it down too? I have dropped my phone enough times to get similar issues twice. First time it was a simple case of service guy disconnecting and reconnecting the part, won't take more than 30mins. Second and current occasional issue with no sim wifi fingerprint, I haven't gone to get it serviced again but I now softly hit the bottom of the phone on a hard surface and it works after a few tries. It happens around once a month for me so I heavily maintain backups now.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Nagendrand329:
Same here actually

I am using ROG 5 for two years.

At first i have problem on

1.Finger print not working,

2.Face Detection on front camera

After some days of using my phone got switched off and was never on,

So through the Authorized center in my local town, i have changed my Motherboard and for some months its working fine,

After some time I have a issue with Sim Network disconnection, its got disconnected or Cut frequently like in one minute gap,

I went to the mobile center and changes the sim tray and my charger connection cable inside the phone to new one, after that still my sim network got disconnecting frequently, those who are in the shops don't know the exact reason.

Still i am not figuring out why this is occurring and facing the same, and using this phone with frequent disconnections, not sure what is the solution also, tried all the ways possible like Resetting network settings, changes new SIM, Shifting the SIM to another slots, Even Restarted/Switch off multiple times and tried using stay in the calls..

Please some one found the solution and let us know, The thing is many of the ROG 5 users facing this same. Tireddddd of doing this..

Creators of the ROG 5, please have the look and found the solution:(😣

Oi, AlencarJr. O Nubia Z40 Pro não tem essa função.
[ZTE Nubia Z20 Questions & Answers] AlencarJr:
Hello Konamy, that's what I imagined, this function could be implemented in the Z40 Pro, since there is a double-tap function to turn on the screen. Thank you very much dear friend.

Hi. I got a used xperia xz3 (SOV39) to use as my main device. The sim card was working fine were there were no issues in sending and receiving calls. I unlocked my phone using S1 network unlock tool to change the bootloader from no to yes and I have successfully unlocked the bootloader. However, my phone shows that the sim is not detected even though I inserted it and when i remove the sim tray the device restarts which it does when the sim card is inserted (tested with sd card only but did not restart) .

Tmobile (usa) 5G is not working....however I got LTE+ over 120Mb+ download speed
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] tensux:
I am still waiting for my 12s ultra to come, but I am suspecting the same as my mi 11 ultra. Xiaomi.eu rom will remove 5g restrictions so I get 5G on it, however it is not t-mobiles 5G UC which is much faster than the 5G NSA
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] avetny:
Btw im on xiaomi.eu.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] tensux:
Interesting, I'm assuming you get 5g on other devices?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] NOSS8:
The missing bands are not due to the software but to the hardware (modem).

The Xiaomi eu roms remove 5GHz(wifi) region restrictions not 5G.

For phones for the global market with their equivalent in China, if you flash the global rom on the Chinese version the missing bands will still be missing and if you do the opposite you will have the same bands as on the global version.

​
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] kuau:
Update, Well I got excited today for about 5 minutes. I tried a PureTalk sim in my 12S and bang it showed a 5G connection. PureTalk in the USA is a MVNO for ATT. ATT shows 3 5G bands that are supported on the 12S.

Unfortunately I ran a few speed tests and was only getting about 50-60mbs download speed ugh... Worse speeds then I was getting with T-Mobile LTE...
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] NOSS8:
PureTalk use N5 (850MHz), N77 (3.7GHz),N260 (39GHz) but you were surely on a N5 which emit far enough unlike the others.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] kuau:
So being on N5 does that explain the slower speeds ? Is there anyway to tell which band I am connected to?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] NOSS8:
The N5 is far-reaching but does not offer higher throughput than 4g or 4g+.

You will find on the play store (I don't remember the name).

In France the B700 5g +/- 60mbs, 4g +/- 120mbs ,5G 3500 +/- 300mbs****

****Provided you are less than 1km from the antenna.

Note that MVNO often provide the least.

5G 3,5 GHz o_O

So for another test I took out the Puretalk sim and put it in my iPhone 13Pro, and what do you know triple the DL speed on 5G then on the 12s. So I would assume that the iPhone supports more 5g frequencies then the 12s?

[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] kuau:
Thanks that's what I thought. Oh well so much for "true" 5g support in the USA... Kind of bummed about this. I finally unlocked my 12s installed the .eu rom which at least for me transforms the phone into something quite usable now. i.e Android Auto, much better integration with google services... Basically just works now..
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] kuau:
forgot to ask in the USA which 4G carries would have the best service / speed
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] NOSS8:
Best 4G coverage​

Verizon: 70% 4G coverage

AT&T: 68% 4G coverage

T-Mobile: 62% 4G coverage

Best 5G coverage​

T-Mobile: 53% 5G coverage

AT&T: 29% 5G coverage

Verizon: 12% 5G coverage

only LTE in USA on google fi (which uses t-mobile) but download speed seems twice as fast as i was getting on the mi 11 ultra, i usually get about 600/50 on devices with 5G in my area. I really don't have a need for that much speed on my phones.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
This is different cables , different chargers (tested power bank, wall charger, and power strip with USB ports). I'm getting generally .4A with a maximum or 1.0A

Any ideas? Best I can guess is Google for unknown reasons crippled the device to not work with standard (non-PD/high watt) charging. Seems something odd to overlook, so, likely by design. Can someone test and see if same for you? ThanksView attachment 5702299
[Google Pixel 6a] mike.s:
You mention 2.4 A, then "standard (non-PD/high watt) charging." That's an oxymoron. 2.4 A is not a part of any (non-PD) USB standard. A non-PD USB port could provide up to 2.5 W (5 V/500 mA, base USB spec), or up to 7.5 W (5 V/1500 mA, USB Battery Charging spec), There are also some less commonly encountered USB specs for 4.5 W (with USB 3.1) and 15 W (with USB Type-C). That's it. Anything else is non-standard (such as Qualcomm Quickcharge, or Apple's scheme). Pixels do USB charging per USB spec, they won't take advantage of non-standard chargers.

If you want the fastest charging, you need to get a USB PD compliant charger. For current Pixels, anything 18 W or over is fine, preferably one which also supports the USB PD PPS (Programmable Power Supply) standard. They're easily found for <$20.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
2.4 is very standard for chargers being sold. Three different brands and three different types of chargers, randomly bought over last several years all are rated for 2.4A.

Doh. Obviously with a PD or high watt charger it will charge quicker. The issue at hand is not taking advantage of the charging capability of a very typical adaptor/port.
[Google Pixel 6a] mike.s:
Nope. You're confusing "common" with "standard." Qualcomm Quickcharge and Apple chargers (I think Samsung does their own thing, too) are very common, but they use proprietary protocols which are not part of the USB specification, which is an industry standard.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
Yup. You're confusing the intended meaning of standard. The word standard fits here fine when a large portion, perhaps the majority, of chargers being sold are 2.4A. so again, it comes down to being a purposefully (by design) crippled phone, where they could easily have chosen to work with it. I do appreciate your answer so far which confirms that.
[Google Pixel 6a] mike.s:
No. "Standard" has a well known and understood meaning in the technical world. In order for a phone to work with one of those proprietary chargers, it has to do things outside of the normative USB standard. Pixels aren't "crippled" in any way, they simply don't implement the additional and proprietary means to trigger non-standard charging, which adds complexity. AFAIK, only phones which use Qualcomm chipsets support QC, they don't make the specification public, and it is solely maintained by Qualcomm. It is not a standard. And only Apple stuff supports their proprietary charging. Again, Apple does not publish the specification, and is the sole maintainer of the specification. It is not a standard. OTOH, you can easily download all the USB standards documents, which were created collaboratively by a large range of companies (almost 100, just for PD) .

Pixels follow the USB standards, the chargers you're talking about don't. Sophistry won't change that. If you don't like it, sell your phone,
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
Wrong. Look for meaning instead of arguing semantics. Standard fits fine there. Anyone with modicum of intellect and knowledge of the English language would have understood. Again, look for meaning.

And sophistry, apologist behavior or anything you write won't change the fact that 2.4A chargers represent a large, if not the largest % of chargers out there and Google decided not only to not take advantage of this standard charger, but decided to cripple it to .4A.
[Google Pixel 6a] teaken:
Google decided to not expose itself to a patent lawsuit by implementing the openly available standard strictly and not adding features for which there are patents that can be challenged. They aren't crippling the phone, they are protecting their profits.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
Okay, this I get and understand. I will take your for it. Much appreciated 👍
[Google Pixel 6a] mike.s:
Don't be cheap and wrong, just buy a standards based USB PD charger. You obviously didn't read the specs before buying.
[Google Pixel 6a] damian5000:
Don't be silly and obtuse. Wrong again. Not about cheap. I just expected it to be compatible with the standard chargers sold all over the place.
[Google Pixel 6a] tcat007:
I'm using my old 4a charger, usually under 2 hours. I just can't believe the SOT!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] Things405:
Hello, I recently upgraded from a5 to a52 5g. When I fully set up my a52 5g, I thought to myself "Why not unlock the bootloader and install custom rom and recovery on the a5?". I installed pixel experience on the device and honestly I got hooked. I kinda want to compile twrp and port pixel experience for the a52 5g, but if I'm the only one interested in custom stuff for the A52 5G I don't see much point. Should I port PE and possibly other roms? And compile twrp? I have a SM-A526B/DS
[Samsung Galaxy A52 5G] ShaDisNX255:
If you already unlocked the BL and tripped it, I would encourage you to do it. There are some that don't know how to make a device tree so the device doesn't get many projects. If you're the first to do it then the custom ROM scene may explode. But the again, up to you :)
