Should the Fuze go Back?

I've followed this thread with interest. I used the Tilt for about 6 months and was very frustrated by the instability - kept dropping the bluetooth connection and sometimes calls). I got a Nokia E71 and was amazed at the stability, fast GPS lock-on, and phone signal strength. With the Nokia "Mail for Exchange" program, syncing with our Exchange Server was almost reamless, but the contacts program made viewing the notes very difficult. I missed the touch screen.

When the 6.1 ROM upgrade came out for the Tilt, all of the instability was gone, and it was truly a reliable phone (which is my primary requirement).

When the Samsung Epix was released, I jumped on it. I LOVE the trackpad/touchscreen combination for navigation. However, Samsung's implementation of Windows Mobile is a little klugey. Compared to HTC phones, it is not nearly as useable.

I went back and traded in the Epix for a Fuze. I liked it - didn't love it. could not get TomTom to work, but the Garmin XT did work. The touchflow seem a littel gimickey, and I missed the "OK" button that would close screens and programs (I couldn't find the HTC utility that accomplished that).

I returned the Fuze and I'm back to my Tilt. I may try the Fuze again after the first ATT ROM upgrade.

By the way, I played with an iPhone, but from what I see and hear, even though it syncs with Exchange, there are too many missing fields, and, it doesn't seem to be a great phone in terms of signal strength and sound quality.

Well from what I have heard NATF's rom for the fuze is very good... Wish I knew from personal experiance, but I cant get my fuze till febuary due to thats when my contract is over.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] stevelion:
I'm struggling to figure out what phone to keep right now. I bought a Fuze on day one and sold my Tilt the next day. I found the Fuze to be problematic, but the battery issue was the killer issue for me. It was dying half way thru the day and I didn't have enough time to figure out why (spent 4 hours trying to fix). So, last week I jumped on the Fuze Cyber Monday deal and returned my store bought Fuze. However, I cannot bring myself to open it up and begin using it, but I am also not sure what other phone I would use - as a temp phone, I'm using my wife's old Nokia 6102i - it's so nice to walk around with a phone for 2 or 3 days before even thinking about a charge!

I recently bought my wife and son Blackjack II's. The phone is awesome with WM 6.1 update installed and is much different when compared to the WM 6.0 version of this phone. It is very easy to use the BJ II one handed and without touch capability -amazing how good this UI is vs. the professional verions (or whatever they call it) found on the on touch screen phones. I had no idea they were so different. Also, the battery life and GPS performance is so much better than Fuze performance. Even with all these pluses, I'm not sure that I could go with a BJ II for myself after using the Tilt for the past year.

Also, the iphone is an excellent device - amazing UI makes all others look pitiful. However, the following things kept me from an iphone:

-no way to use $15 MediaNet plan with iphone; must commit to 2 years of $30 plan. Also risk being put on the $45 plan if doing push email although I have no reason to believe they can or will audit.

-currently no GPS navigation; only Google Maps. i.e. directions

-no support for my stereo Bluetooth headset (i.e. A2DP profile)

-no h/w keyboard

So, I'm left wanting an Omnia or Touch HD, neither of which are produced with support for U.S. 3G. Of course, these devices (the Touch HD in particular) may have the same problems as the Fuze - who knows.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ld-runner:
no one told me. i had an iphone. if you charge yours every other day, that means you carry it in your pocket and never use it. It is not possible to go 2 days with that device unless it is in standby the whole time.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jasongw:
And I'd probably still own a fuze if that were the case :). Personally, I never buy a PC, I always build from parts (Exception: If I find a great deal on something for *someone else*, because I'm lazy) and install Windows with my own custom configured version.

I loved my Wizard, even the dicking with it bit. I don't know what happened between then and now, but I suspect it was just the fact that for the last year or so my Wizard hummed along problem free with a custom ROM, and the prospect of having to go through the flash/test/reflash/test/reflash/test/reflash/test process again was just totally unappealing. The stock software had so many issues (and my first Fuze was physically defective) that I just couldn't stand it anymore.

It was totally on the whim that I took the suggestion to give the iPhone a try, but I'm glad I did. Beyond being a more stable platform, it's got gobs of free goodies to try out on the app store, including some nice blogging software that enables me to work from wherever I happen to be. How do you say no to that, especially when you get a $70 *refund* for trading in the busted device for the working one? :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] TVDinner:
I think this is my last post in this thread. I am not jumping ship so no need to be negative.

Good luck with whatever phone you end up with!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jasongw:
I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but for me, in my area (Orange County California), the iPhone's signal strength and call clarity far outpace the Fuze's. My Fuze actually had worse signal than my HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125, WM6 hacked) did, but the iPhone works really well. Plus, when i get home I flip on Call Forwarding so it goes to the house phone, and the data automagically flips to my wifi connection for speedy internet, which keeps me working even when I'm downstairs watching a movie with the female.

I haven't connected to Exchange (no real need) but I *am* running it connected to both Yahoo and a POP3 account, and those work great.

There are 2 things that piss me off about the iPhone so far: 1)Why the hell can't I copy and paste? 2)iTunes is the most piece of **** software I've ever used. I HATE iTunes.

Beyond that, it's all been golden so far. I've only had one program crash, a free password manager from the app store, and I just deleted it and downloaded a different one that works great :)

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jasongw:
That is absolutely untrue. I use my phone throughout the day several times, make numerous calls using bluetooth, and occasionally pop online to look something up or locate a nearby location. Doing that, I charge it every other day.

If you use wifi, 3G, etc extensively you'll deplete the battery sooner for sure--but that's true of EVERY device. With the EXACT same pattern of usage, iPhone gets more battery life for me than the Fuze did, and I went through 2 of them. Perhaps you simply had a defective iPhone.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jasongw:
It's a bummer we can't have the hardware of the Fuze with the polished OS and user experience of the iPhone. Dammit, where is my Perfect Device?! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jd885:
In my opinion i LOVE my fuze... ya there are some issues but you guys on here that had a tilt or wing and say its a better device, keep in mind there are years of ROM and APP development on those devices here... i say give your fuze some time and XDA will make it a great device
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] yzf750:
I had regrets also after selling my Tilt and getting the Fuze. After 4 weeks you couldnt pay me to go back to a Tilt. The ONLY thing I miss is the tilt up screen.

Battery life is the same if not a bit better on my Fuze. Spend a few days on the forum, install most the tweaks and fixes and its a neat little phone (except for the gps) which I am sure in time will get sorted out better. Everything that was on my tilt is on my fuze. If I pick up my old wizard or herald to play with, I set them down just as fast and wonder why I havent sold them yet.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] diar:
OK...it's 30 days...and I'm still here. I just like the phone too much, despite the negatives. But I'm not going to become some ROM flashing freak like I was when I had the Tilt :D

I'm going to try exactly two ROMs, the best cooked one I can find and the official update that HTC will have to release to fix all the issues. I read that they did release a ROM upgrade for the Diamond and, I believe, a hotfix, so I'm confident one's coming for the Fuze/Pro as well.

All in all, this phone does what I need it to do well. But I swear ny next phone must have an exceptional battery.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] bfspider:
I'm staying.

The little things...are not enough to warrent a return. I make iPhone people jelious with my phone!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] norkoastal:
Same here. Too much upside for this phone... I will have to remind myself to be patient as all the software titles get refreshed to both VGA, and Gsensor compatible.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jasongw:
Having had a Fuze, I honestly can't see how. Windows Mobile is holding this device back from being its best, sadly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jasongw:
For me, the Wizard just flat out works better than the Fuze. That is, of course, as a direct result of years of ROM development from the great cooks at XDA, and the Fuze is absolutely in its infancy. Personally though, I find it absolutely unacceptable that a brand new $400 device with a CPU nearly triple the speed of the Wizard's should be so buggy, so unstable and such a battery hog and on top of that *feels* slower than the Wizard.

The Fuze will be a great device when it's matured. Until then...no thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] whatledog:
Nah, if you take off T3D (like I did--don't like) and use htc home (like I have on my wizard), the fuze is much faster than my wizard, even with overclocking. Battery's good with Da_G's ROM.

Tilt sensor, vga, more memory, the ability to customize, TV-out (especially that!), etc., make the fuze a very good machine for more. I'll stay..., until something that's a better fi for me.:D
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] Ackoman:
Hi,

I've got a S21+ and it updated itself to One UI 5.1 and I am finding that Android Auto is not working, so I just tried to roll back to a previous firmware version using Odin and gives a message that says "LDFW" and does not proceed.

Does anyone know why this is? Have I perhaps chosen the wrong version of firmware to roll back to?

Thanks,

Hello, i can't transfer files from my S21 Ultra to my PC via USB cable. Samsung's cable is USB-C/USB-C but i don't have usb-c slot on my PC so i tried 3 different USB-C/USB-A cables (from Huawei and Xiaomi). At first the phone was connecting and disconnecting ever 2 seconds. I tried different slots on my pc, installed USD drivers for samsung that i downloaded from https://developer.samsung.com/android-usb-driver and tried some tricks from YouTube videos but nothing solved the problem. It's even worse now, PC doesn't even recognize the phone and only charges it without getting a prompt on the phone to chose "only charge or transfer files/photos etc". On device manager i got this: View attachment 5843453
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Can you try a different computer? That is easiest way to troubleshoot. Maybe a friend's laptop? You already seem to have done the first correct step of trying different cables.

Another culprit is lint lodged in the USB-C port of the phone. You can pick it out with a toothpick or similar. The lint prevents the cable from properly and fully lodging into the port, no matter how many different cables you try.

If neither of these approaches fixes things, then perhaps you need to consider that you might have a broken USB port.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] infamas:
I tried connecting the phone to couple more PCs but same result....Then tried the same thing with a friend's Samsung S20 and it worked. I guess my S21 Ultra wants a original cable or change something in the settings, dont know....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] valderdark:
Do you download the samsung usb drivers?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] infamas:
yes i did. and the PC is eather not recocnizing the phone at all or it's losing connection evey 2 seconds.

Do you have the original samsung cable?

or use other like Anker or Belkin cables they are the best

I have samsung cable but it is USB-C on both sides. I don't have an USB-C port on my PC so I'm using xiaomi and huawei cables.

Had the same issue some time back.

Was able to get mine working with fastboot & adb alongside an older 2019 Samsung driver.

Also after you installed that, go and uninstall all the devices under the "Universal Serial Buss Controller" and reboot your pc.

So 1st I have to uninstall all USB devices, then install old samsung drivers? Do I have to do anything else? Should I mess with fastboot and adb?

BTW can u link me those old drivers?

This is either bad cable or bad usb port.

Also remove the "SUMSUNG_Android" in other devices.

Hey Guys,

today i got my S23 Ultra. I switched from iOS to Android.

I installed the Dr.Ketan Rom.

Then i cant use Gpay & Samsung Pay. I flashed the OEM Stock Rom, but i cant use Gpay and Samsung Pay.

I see in my Downloader Menu "Warranty Void: 0x1 (0x400)

Its possible to get gpay & Samsung pay back?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] oVeRdOsE.:
knox or not, in android history having a 100% functional phone with root was rare, and for a short period of time.

Gpay only worked back with magisk exploit few years ago, before that most rooting way blocked gpay. Anyway, there's a fix for gpay, and still can use samsung pay with a watch.

OTA was always an issue, even if you had the notification , it wasn't possible to update without loosing all your stuff and re-root.

Loosing samsung apps, bah, most people from other brand don't care.

Netflix certification for 4k and hdr, bah, most people use smarttv/htpc , and I think there's a work around. I use popcorn time anyway.

So far , only warranty can be the problem, Ill wait a year, but I'm pretty sure, for my use Ill be able to use the phone like nothing happened.

I probably root when s23 will be out of support.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] oVeRdOsE.:
double
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] treysis:
Not true at all. It's just a register/bit that can't be reset by a user, not even root. Samsung itself can reset it though.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
Incorrect. It's an e-fuse that can't be reset, even by Samsung. It's a permanent marker of the bootloader having been unlocked, even if the bootloader is relocked and developer OEM toggle is flipped to off.

When Samsung fix a Knox flag, they do so by replacing the logic board.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] treysis:
@Beefheart It's an e-fuse, not an eFuse (the latter being this IBM physical microscopic fuse). It is just a software setting. Samsung can reset it, but probably not a simple service center (even if officially licensed).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
Rardless of the semantics of whether a hyphen is included or not, it isn't a software setting, it's a physical fuse that has been on the logic boards of Samsung phones since the Galaxy SIII.

But let's agree to disagree as we're going to go around in circles.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ramme:
I recently sent my S23 to Samsung for repair regarding root removal. On the website, there was a choice: Paid software repair with my additional information that the device is rooted and, therefore, Knox is locked, with the request to unlock Knox. I waited for almost 35 days without my phone until I received a response from the Samsung technician. I only received an automatic email (See attachment) with a price increase for the repair to a whopping €380. I replied that it was impertinent to deliberately design the devices in such a way that the user no longer has any freedom over their paid product and is forced to do what the big company wants. (I understand that security plays a significant role, but we are actually only talking about software, which can always be restored to its original state). I called Samsung again and wanted to talk to the technician about how it's possible that my entire board must be replaced just because the device was rooted and Knox is broken. I received the answer that it could not be fixed otherwise. I refused the order and got my prepaid money (€80) and my device back. I have read up on the Knox lock in other forums, and it looks like Samsung soldered a diode on the mainboard of the device, which burns out as soon as you unlock the bootloader. So much for that.

But there are also private cellphone repair shops that supposedly do it cheaper. However, the fact remains that the device must be opened, and I believe that the device is no longer 100% waterproof, and the IP68 certification can't be guaranteed. (I think!)

I actually only wanted to unroot my device to sell it because I got an alternative device.

Spoiler content hidden.

But what I find interesting with you, you come from Apple, buy a Samsung S23 Ultra. You get it right to root your device. But don't read the first line in Dr.Ketan's topic, where it's marked that you'll lose all that once you unlock your device and there's no going back.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ajaybabu07:
Yes you can use play integrity fix magisk module or simply lock your bootloader or you can go for my experiment trick to get device is certified after that trick visit to Samsung a127f page
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
Incorrect. The Magisk module can fix features like Secure Folder and Samsung Flow but Samsung Wallet and Samsung Pass are permanently disabled once the bootloader is unlocked, even if you relock it. Both are intrinsically linked to Knox and if the flag is tripped, you're SOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] V0latyle:
Not quite...

Unlocking the bootloader itself does not trip Knox.

Flashing modified or custom firmware does. I have no idea why Samsung decided to do this, because there isn't much point to unlocking your bootloader without flashing custom firmware. Someone remind me, does it have to be unlocked to downgrade official firmware?

I do not know what Samsung features rely exclusively on Knox, but other payment methods such as Google Pay/Wallet can be used if you're passing 2/3 Play Integrity.

@Riddle90 please read this post:

This won't help with Knox, but will get you on the right track. You can use Play Integrity Fork module with Magisk and find a custom print using Pixel Flasher. Once you are passing BASIC and DEVICE_INTEGRITY, you should be able to use Google Pay/Wallet.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
Yup, getting Google Pay to work whilst rooted isn't too difficult, I used to use it on my S21 Ultra after rooting it.

Samsung pay is toilet anyway, and unless it's the only phone payment system supported by your bank, you're best just avoiding it. Losing it shouldn't be a reason not to root. Samsung refusing to honour warranty is the reason for that.
