[Samsung Galaxy A23 5G] TimidNova:
I recently bought it unlocked through bestbuy. No carrier is attached to it either. So it’s in it’s original unlocked state
[Samsung Galaxy A23 5G] V0latyle:
Carrier lock =/= OEM unlock. "Unlocked" in most cases means it's not locked to a particular carrier, so you should be able to use it on any compatible network. OEM Unlocking is completely different and means the bootloader can be unlocked to flash custom images. If OEM Unlocking is not available after connecting to the Internet and checking for a software update, it most likely isn't possible.
[Samsung Galaxy A23 5G] arsfr:
United states devices

DO NOT

support OEM Unlocking, no matter what you do you will never succeed, unless you find a bug or exploit to do so, so I would recommend next time getting an international phone instead of a US Variant samsung phone.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dillsnik:
I have been pretty satisfied with my Hermes (had it just about 2 years now!)

I am wondering for those that also came from that device or from a Kaiser, how do you like the Touch Pro in comparison? I'm eligible for an upgrade but don't know if this is the phone to get or not....i thought it was, but have been reading some less than great threads so i just wanted some comments from people who went through a comparable situation. Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] copex:
it was the best move i ever made, only thing is the bat life could be better.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] p51d007:
After the tweaks, pretty happy.

Only issue(s) I have remaining are:

Voice Command/Bluetooth...If incoming announcements are on, the phone

sort of rings once, sort of announces, but when you answer, the other party

can hear you, but you cannot hear them, you have to switch the call to the

phone, power off the headset, and power it back on.

GPS slow. GPS is a little quirky at times. Once in a while it fails to lock, but

if you run the HTC test tool for the GPS, it fires right up.

Battery isn't an issue for me, I'm one of those if it is below 2 bars, it goes

on the charger, and, sometimes I use a remote control program because I have

a friend that would rather text than talk on the phone, so it is easier than using the keyboard or stylus to send SMS.

Touchflo3D could use a little tweaking, which has been done, and looks like it is getting better and better.

I don't "play games/videos/MP3s" on my phone, so I can't help you on that

part, but the screen is improved, keyboard is improved, camera is MUCH

faster.

About the only thing I miss is the tilt for the screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TriAxisFL:
I would say the main thing to keep in mind is the TouchPro isn't really an upgrade to the Hermes or Kaiser. Its a whole new style of phone that takes some getting used to. The main similarity is of course the keyboard. The biggest change is the lack of hardware buttons. Gone are the softkeys, you now have to touch the screen. Gone is the messaging & IE buttons. The worst part is the messaging button, you now cannot just keep clicking this button to scroll through all your email/sms/mms accounts. There is no longer a dedicated start menu button, you have to touch the screen to launch the start menu. Its been replaced with a "home" button, which to me is useless. As on the old phones I could hit start 2x and go home. Gone is the scroll wheel on the side. Its been replaced with 2 volume buttons, which I never use because I keep my phone on maximum volume. There is no dedicated camera button. There is no dedicated Comm Manager button.

So personally I hate to see the iPhone trend influencing HTC phone designs. I like buttons and need buttons. This phone takes some getting used to. It is a good phone still, but could be so much better with more buttons.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
I agree. I think the VGA screen brings a real revolution to mobile devices. It's just superior in so many ways to the old displays that I definitely never ever want a device without VGA again.

The biggest minus for me is the faulty GPS implementation. But I still hope that it's not a hardware issue and that it can an will be fixed by some xda-dev sooner or later.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
That's true! The home button is extremely useless and I also miss the extra buttons very much. In the first days/weeks it felt like a step backwards to me because where in the past I just had to push an hardware button I now had to push a software butten in best case or even had to navigate somewhere before I could push some softbutton.

But I got used to it and managed to reconfigure the device so that all important functions are now just one (soft)-click away.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] petervbeck:
i love the device, but i miss the tilt screen... :

and i wish there were more buttons to assign to my own preferences (yes i know there are tools, but it's not as good as with the 'real' buttons...)

i love that the flat screen - you can touch things in the edges very easy now

all in all - i don't regret the upgrade
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NotATreoFan:
Da_G is working on such a fix right now. He's using ported GPS drivers from the Blackstone, and it appears to make quite a difference.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] DeepThought:
Great news, thanks for letting me know!

Is there already some thread about his attempts? Or is it currently in the "private beta testing" stage? ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jdigital007:
I upgraded from the Tilt.

Day1 = I wanted my Tilt back

Missed Tilt Scree

GPS SLOW

Really missed all the bottuns

After a couple of weeks (and of course a cooked ROM) I have to admit I am really happy I upgraded. As others stated the screen resolution is great. Performance seems to be better as well. I still have some gripes ( fingerprint magnet, small keyboard) but I think overall the improvements outweigh the issues. My advise would be to go for it but also make sure you give it time before you judge. If I had to make a return decision in 24 hours I most likely would have returned it for the Tilt. A week or two later and you would have to pry my Fuze out of my cold dead hands!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Da_G:
I want the raphael hardware in a kaiser body.

I think that pretty much sums up my feelings :)

DeepThought: currently testing out the ported blackstone drivers in my ROM. I'd make cabs but unfortunately windows mobile is paranoid so wont load them :( They have to be cooked into a ROM for the moment. I'm in the process of uploading the OEM/SYS/ROM from my latest build so chefs can see the changes I made and yoink it if it works.. 40 minutes left on that upload!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
I consider it the best phone I've owned if you require a keyboard.

It feels better in the hand than the Kaiser did. I love the flush screen so you can touch edges easily (I missed that after having the Vogue on Sprint). The VGA screen is great.

I don't really miss the hardware buttons. I used a Vogue and it had less buttons than the TP has. On the Kaiser, I didn't really use them anyway. I just use the programs tab in TF3D. I replaced the shortcuts or the PTT button (on the ATT Fuze), so now a short press launches the Comm Manager (to turn on WiFi) and a long press launches the camera.

I haven't really had any GPS issues. It doesn't get a fix indoors usually, where my Kaiser did. It takes a little longer to get a fix outside, and depending on the app I'm using I might have to use the HTC GPS Tool first. I don't have much lag.

I don't really need a hardware keyboard...its nice to have, but I don't do much typing on it and I find myself using the soft keyboard more rather than pulling out the other one. Since the Touch HD (Blackstone) looks thinner, if ATT ever got that phone, I think that might be the ultimate for me since I would rather have a thin device rather than a hardware keyboard.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] aadadams:
Not that these things haven't been brought up already but this is my opinion. First off I am happy to have upgraded to the Raphael from the Kaiser. Things that lived up to or exceeded my expectations are the screen, capacitive touch lower region, and TF3D to name a few. The things that need to be worked out are battery life and gps. To a great extent, Lumos and Touchlock Pro have extended my battery life tremendously, but it is still not on par with my Tilt. My major gripe is GPS. I drove around for over an hour with the phone on my lap in clear skies and never locked onto satellites. That is horrible. I am very eager to see what Da_G is cooking up on this front. MY MAJOR GRIPE is fit and finish related. The battery cover for my Fuze is loose and I do not care for the shiny multi-angled design. I am going to buy the regular Touch Pro cover as soon as someone puts up a picture that matches the description. I had the Tilt for over a year and it had excellent design and build. I think they should have carried that over to the Fuze.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NotATreoFan:
The thread is actually about fixing MSVC, but he mentions the GPS drivers also.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Da_G:
I also posted a cab in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=426433&page=17

But it doesnt work due to the same driver signing issues with the MSVC fix..
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tribalmunky:
Loving my Fuze, I upgraded from the Tilt. Only concern is the repeatedly mentioned GPS issue which I'm glad to hear that Da_G is working on.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dillsnik:
Seems like most everyone is happier with the TP, even if there are still a few things to be desired...i know i too will miss some of the buttons, but that screen does sound delicious :D

I would bet that all the kinks will get knocked out entirely by early next year and it'll be running like a whole new phone

AT&T Tilt -> HTC Fuze

Best switch ever!! I love everything about the fuze except that its' enter button is too big and it's del button is a bit small =/ I got used to it though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] BradleyH007:
After proudly using most of the AT&T/Cingular/AT&T HTC devices (Wallaby->Blue Angel->Wizard->Hermes->Kaiser->Raphael), this has been the most exciting upgrade.

The VGA screen is an amazing change. I miss some of the hardware buttons, but the flat touch screen is helping the TouchFlo interface wean me off of the buttons. I also do not miss the tilting screen as much as I thought I would. I do miss not having the scroll wheel on the side, but I am getting used to touch ring.

Performance on the stock ROM was disappointing. I was planning on running the stock ROM for a while before loading a cooked ROM, but after one day, I could not take it anymore. I am now running NATF's 2.2 ROM, and I could not be happier.

So far, I have inspired three upgrades from the Tilt to the Fuze among co-workers.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Scorpo900:
from a beetle to a Porshe

Raphael is way better than hermes. dome many changes to registry, antena, touchflo 3d, and performance ugrades, to have it running great. :cool:

It's funny.. at first I was not so sure I did the right thing. But yesterday I turned on my Kaiser (Tilt) for the first time in about 6 weeks, and it looked and felt like a cheap toy by comparison.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] seanstar12:
HA, I had the same problem! In sms messges, I would find myself sending lots of them with enters instead of backspacing and fixing (never relly look at the screen anymore).
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jxl69:
Well i've owned the hermes, kaiser and raphael and i must say raphael is the sexiest of them all...

After all the tweaking custumizing ... no need for buttons, GPS lag is hardly noticable and it's much faster and prompter device than both of his old "brothers".

As far tilting goes i never liked it. It made whoke kaiser much less firmly built.

And yes :) raphael is smaller and sexier :P

Raphael FTW :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Scrtcwlvl:
I've gone from the Hermes -> Kaiser -> Raphael and I must say, I am very happy with each upgrade.

The Hermes was an ugly device to be honest and the Kaiser was actually decent looking, quite professional. The raphael however, is just a sexy compact monster.

In terms of features, it packs everything the Kaiser did (except for the tilt, but you get used to it, isn't a big deal) just with more ram, faster processor and FANTASTIC screen.

You don't realize how outstanding VGA is until you load up a movie or turn the text size down to smallest and then it just wows you. The first time I hooked it up to MyMobiler I just thought "WOW VGA is crazy!" then I connected to RemoteDesktop and again, nothing short of fantastic.

The keyboard is very nice as is the scroll wheel, but as other people have said though, the first few weeks on it, every time you type you always think, "This enter key is too dang big and the backspace key is too small! I kinda want to swap the two." Yet, one gets used to it. I also wish the battery life was a bit better, however with all the features this puppy has, I can't complain.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] McHale:
I picked up the Fuze the day it was released. I returned it because it WASN'T better than my Kaiser with the ROM setup I had on it. I promptly returned it. Horrible ROM (AT&T stock), S L O W, very poor data speeds, laggy, etc.

So I picked it up again, I charged it up, HardSPL it, then threw on the Latest Stock ROM (Australian), and it's a whole different animal. I really like it for it's smaller size, crisper resolution, and faster processor. I still don't think it's a significant upgrade from the Kaiser though if you're tight on cash. HTC will be releasing new models here in a few months that will make you wish you had waited if you already have the Kaiser.

What I have noticed is they do have a build quality issue (or at least a consistency issue). I picked up 2 last week and one has a fantastic slide mechanism. No noise, doesn't rattle, solid. The other one makes an irritating sliding/metal on metal noise when you open and close it. It also rattles quite a bit. I'm sure it won't make any difference or cause any problems, but it does tell you that they aren't all exactly the same.

I do like it though. Still waiting for the HD or something close to it...

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Dillsnik:
Thanks for all those that responded to my question

Now as a new fuze user coming from my hermes, i have to say that so far i am REALLY missing my start, messaging, internet, ok/back buttons....i used those all the time to get around on my phone and it is very hard adjusting to not having them so far. That's why i am thinking i just need to get more used to touchflo and customizing my screen? I have to say though, i don't think i love the idea that i will need to touch this screen much more that i did on the Hermes, for me that is where unwanted presses/things happen. The buttons are more reliable. Also, the D-pad on the TP seems much easier to miss a press and open something i did not mean to.

I'm all about functionality and ease of use, as well as having my phone run as fast and responsive as possible. A nice, but gimmicky, look (while it's nice to have) is not the biggest concern for me.

I think if there was a way to turn the "home button" into a start button i could be a lot happier, but from what nearly everyone has said, i guess it just takes some getting used to and then u'll love it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jeeptchr:
I went from the hermes/8525 to the fuze, my only complaint is the camera, that was the main reason for my upgrade, however.... the autofocus is terrible, I can't take the shots that I want to take, I always seem to miss them because of the 3+ sec delay in shooting no matter what combination of settings I try. it's not enough to make me go back, but..... that's kinda a big issue for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bravo261:
i love the touch pro for the screen and all, particularly the reduced size, but i miss the buttons on the kaiser big time. the scroll on the side, the tactile buttons, even the programmable PTT button that i had on the tilt but not an actual touch pro.

and of course, the tilting screen was sheer awesome, not for "coolness" but in the hand
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TriAxisFL:
I'm in the same boat. I went from the Hermes 8125 to the Raphael Fuze and was hating the Fuze for awhile. I just got a screen protector and had to leave my Fuze turned off for 12 hours to make sure it was dry. So I used my 8125 for a day. It felt huge and weird and like fake plastic. It felt like a kids cheap plastic toy, where the Fuze feels like a machine.
[General Questions and Answers] KonradIC13:
Hello,

My phone is experiencing strange issue. While using Messenger, during video calls i start to notice ghost touching, phone is reacting as If I'm touching screen but I'm actually not doing it. It's happening from some time already and only in that particular app, none other. Also It's not like it happens during every call, just once in a while, after few minutes in the call (not right away).

In meantime I've already updated that app, tried reinstalling it. Of course its official app from Play Store.

I'm completely clueless how to approach debugging of that issue. Looking for any suggestions beside "do factory reset" lol.

For my next go I wiped the phone entirely and installed the Android 9 rom via twrp this time. I wiped the system and data and directly flashed the droidian rom and adaptation package without booting into Android 9. This time it had worked.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] aheadofsingularity:
I had fun with rooting experience with my phone, but at the morning when I woke up my Huawei P20 Pro HW-01K (CLT-L0J) stucked at bootloader unlocked warning screen... never boot into Android. What I see here is just warning screen or Custom Recovery (TWRP) or Rescue & Fastboot screen. In TWRP mode, In the log, it is filled with "MOUNT ERROR" for most of all partition except recovery_ramdisk, so it seems the partition and partition table corrupted. So How I can unbrick my phone?

What I can do with my phone

====================

Using ADB

Using Fastboot

Using TWRP

What I can't do with my phone (In TWRP 3.2.1-0 mod)

======================================

Install ZIP

Wipe

Backup

Restore

Mount partition (0MB) (Can not check checkboxes)

Advanced>Fix Contexts

Advanced>File Manager (it shows folders but I don't know what this means)

Advanced>ADB Sideload

Can't boot into eRecovery (is this my fault with button operation?)

My guess

========

So the "mount error" comes from because of the partition is not actually existed inside phone, so to unbrick my phone, I should make ptable partition then fastboot flash ptable HISIUFS_GPT.img to bring back all partition table. Once the partition table back, I should I can do anything I want - flash stock firmware to unbrick my phone.

Is this correct? Then if it is correct, how to make ptable manually? I can't flash ptable directly. It says failure.

If it is not correct, what should I do? dload seems not working too. I connected USB memory with OTG containing dload folders doesn't start flashing.

Detail is also here - Github - AccA

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
