[General Questions and Answers] johnmbailey:
The 7300 EX phone was returned with an updated rom, and is connecting better but does drop calls so I moved back to my Motorola Atrix 2 (on Straight Talk ATT). Once I received this phone back, I returned the other HDC dual core Note 2, and asked support on Skype about a more reliable manufacturer that might have fewer repairs or returns, and they suggested the IHD id=8624 so I am paying the difference and hope they acknowledge receit of the phone soon. I have been concerned with their demand to use USPS for return shipping, as it is the only method that does not provide reliable tracking and delivery confirmation. They returned one phone, so hopefully they will respond to this second defective phone.

My Father in law ordered this IHD phone, and it is working excellent on ATT with no problems, so I am hopefull to have a working replacement for the dual core HDC soon. I will post a video of the replacement phone as soon as it arrives.
[General Questions and Answers] dakok:
Few things I know regarding china phone shopping.

Clones:

Beware of clones and clone oriented shops.

Clones are mostly these: HDC, Star and all of brands/models with number/letter

name. They are no-no, even chinese won`t buy them anymore.

Shops with a lot of clones could be reliable, but if you find one without them,

give them extra points for reliability.

Names:

Use chrome translate to browse thru chinese mobile forums.

Suprisingly, (or not :)), you won`t find almost any clones there.

Chinese phone users have better knowledge of their phones then we do.

Look at topics there - you will learn established names, such as

Xiaomi, Lenovo, Huawei, ZTE, Amoi, TCL, Gionee, OPPO, Konka, etc...

On the other side, TCL, Zopo, UMI, Newman.... are not that big in China

as they are in Europe.

Science:

Avoid phones with physical home button. Chinese are good in electronics

but mechanics - not yet :).

Clones, and the cheapest models usually lie about batteries - their capacity is usually much lower than stated.

Clones, cheapest and less known brands usually lie about camera specs. They present 8Mpix as 13Mpix

which is interpolated, not the real value.

Don`t buy phones for TD SCDMA network. You won`t get your 3g then - means: no mobile internet.

Cheers!

SCAMMERS

FCT are scammers. They send me fake tracking numbers at first and delayed shipping for a looong time. In the end I received the item, but it was broken and previously used. Then they ignored me for weeks until I finally received address to mail the item back. Months have passed and I still don't have the working item that I ordered and I probably never will.

Be warned! Stay away from them!!!

OERDER LONG DELAY FORM FastCardTech.com

Hi to all

I make this post to inform you of a long reception delay for mobile phone that i am order from FastCardTech.com

NOW It's been 105 days since i make my order from FastCardTech.com

After continuous communication, in all answers they tell me --- please wait our information ------- I have paid and relevant guarantee $ 5 ---

A week ago in last answer They don't want to replace with other one phone or for refund they can only refund 25% ,and another 75% the shipping company. It is crazy.......

This case is a personal event and other buyers maybe have not problem , but I should be advised the prospective buyers of this shop - FastCardTech.com - what will happen if they do not receive their order .

I make purchases from Asia many years and several shopping and I have never lost anything. Such irresponsible behaviour of big shop fastcardtech.com I have not come across.

[General Questions and Answers] teoteo:
You can buy cheaper BUT you get what you pay-Refurbished at best.!

I made 2 orders. First was a meizu mx4 . Best price in internet and it arrived fast. BUT the box was missing the genuine-security sticker. The touch screen was not working and so the phone was unusable. After long contacts i send back the phone and i lost the shipment cost and some accessories cost that i bought elsewhere. I was refunded and so i made a second order as i thought that it was a random bad moment. Second order were 2 brand new meizu mx4 pro 16gb phones. They arrived in perfect condition this time and i was very happy. BUT again serious problems started. One of the 2 phones was android 4.4 and the second was 5.1. I upgrade the older android version with the meizu update system and now i had 2 working android phones BUT with Chinese version android without Greek language. Both of them were installed the Chinese and not the international android version. You can say that i had to be more careful so i start to look more on the phones. So i checked their imei and serial numbers AND i found that one of the phones had fake imei number. It was using the imei number of Samsung SM-G3812 phone And this imei number exist not only inside android info but also inside phone battery with sticker - which means that there is a designed fraud for this situation. So the phone is refurbished or stollen. I dont believe that they sell stollen phones. If i was informed that they sell refurbished phones i might have not buy them. I bought BRAND NEW phones and i had the demand to be like this. SO IN CONCLUSION when you buy from fastcardtech BE PREPARED to receive what you pay. NOT a good item in the best price in market but a suspicious item in a price that seems good BUT ....FINALLY the phones where not accepted by Meizu system and paypal made the final conclusion to send it back for refund. But in this way i loose extra shipping money.
[General Questions and Answers] James101:
Bait and switch! I was ripped off by them very recently. Sent me the wrong phone intentionally. Now they are lying to paypal. Paypal wants me to ship the phone back to china with a reliable tracking method with will cost 80% of what I paid for the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] littlepriest:
Received empty box from FCT with no phone. Rip off site.

I ordered a $160 Lenovo Android phone that arrived with the package re-taped and the contents empty. There was a phone box inside, but the box contained no phone, no charger, no cables. When I asked for my money back from FCT, I was told to get a non-existent form from the US Post Office to declare that the phone was stolen, which USPS does not do. I had USPS send back the box with an "empty contents" sticker, but FCT still would not refund my money. DO NOT USE FCT.

apologies if this is covered elsewhere - searched and didn't see it.

I have a CDMA Touch Pro using the EnergyROM_HERMAN_20090906_Standard rom. I have noticed that since updating to this rom - that my recent incoming sms messages are disappearing and gone. whether from 5 days ago or from 5 minutes ago. If I close out of the "messaging" program and go back in - they are gone.

Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey, I searched around but didn't find what I was looking for.

I need the rogers splash screen because I am going to have to send my magic in for warranty work. I think it is considered splash1, the very first image that comes up. if you just have a jpg or something I could turn that into the correct rgb565 format and flash it.

Thanks for your time!

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Taintor:
I apologize in advance if this has been asked before, but I couldn't think of any good search terms for this.

Why is it that when I connect my VZW TP2 and use active sync to transfer files over from my PC, it only connects at 10 mbps. I have plenty of other USB 2.0 devices that work properly and I would hope that by now, smartphones have a 2.0 port. Anyone have an answer for this?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] PRBajista:
Are you trying to save to a storage card or to the device? I have a storage card and when you connect the TP2 to your pc while it has a storage card in it, I get an option to connect with activesync or connect as a disk drive. If I select a disk drive then the speed is much faster then with an activesync connection. I only use the activesync connection if i am going to sync my contacts and calendar. Unfortunately you

do not

get this option if you do not have a storage card in the TP2.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Taintor:
Yes I have seen that screen, just never thought those would be related. I will look into that, but it just seems weird. I had the same problem with my XV6800 and that didn't give me any option for just a disk mode. Any other thoughts as to why that is? Limitation of winmo 6.1?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mmmhhh86:
No its not a limitation of winmo 6.1 it's a new option that was added later on during development. You would see it in newer builds and custom ROMs

if home and power doesnt work, try this, get the SDK and get adb up and running. then

see if it boots into recovery that way/

also in order for you to boot into recovery, you have to power off the phone and HOLD POWER AND HOME to boot the phone. you dont push home and power at just anytime.

Android Scripting Environment: Run/Edit Shell/Python/Bean/Lua scripts (& shortcuts!)

More at: http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/

It's still rated as an "alpha", but is and remains under active development (not by me).

I personally have run into a bug where it for some reason won't run shell scripts unless I "wrap" them in python. For those who run into said issue (I so far seem to be the only one), if you aren't familiar with Python, it's not hard. Here's all you need:

For non-rooted scripts:

import os
x = /path/to/script.sh
os.system(x)

For rooted scripts:

import os
x = "su -c '/path/to/script.sh' "
os.system(x)

Easy enough. :)

For the first time, since Treo 700w/750 many "great" idea from Palm are revealed and distribute to another ROM (competitor). Program like SMSThreated etc, now become default on many today Windows Mobile gadget.

Maybe Palm need to protect their future idea from another WinMo users :)

Palm has make their decission, to focus "fake" Palm WebOS. Well, lets see how their mind (Palm inc.) will change, if their WinMo customers switch to another HTC gadget :)

I have a wizard (wiza110) running wm5 and i wanted to upgrade it. It was the first time i was trying such thing. I was following these instructions http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard%20Windows%20Mobile%206%20for%20newbies. My device is g3. My first attempt was with Button Rom, everything was fine until 99%... i think it was error 302 or something. I took off the battery and plugged it again several times but nothing came out. I had the three-colour screen.

Then I tried The Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe, still nothing, lokiwiz also...

do you have a link for the original rom? the thing is that ipl is 1.05 and spl is 2.25
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] n2rjt:
Based on my experience and what I've read here, I'm guessing that your original rom had ipl and spl both 2.25. When you installed the button rom, it updated the ipl but nothing else. Just a guess, but that's what happened to me the first time on my G3. I just re-flashed button rom and continued from there. You should try to find the original rom for whatever kind of phone you have (I mean, the rom from the service provider like Orange, AT&T, etc). Their latest rom might not be 2.25. For example, my phone originally came from T-Mobile. I have the T-Mobile rom that is I think 2.26. I keep it handy, but have only reflashed back to that rom once when my extended rom got messed up.

Read the link suggested above. Good stuff. It is possible to flash a phone that is stuck on the tri-color screen, but it might not work the first try.

I have ipl and spl on 2.26 received it this way. It's G3. I've been a week looking through the forums. Trying to avoid posting here. But damn it. I can't seem to get anything right. I previously had the G1 and Juno, Flashing was a breeze. But here i feel lost.

Basically my problem is i can't get it to downgrade. upgrade. CID unlock, With neither Lokiwiz or WST. A pain. And really NO RUU runs past the 0% it reboots my phone to boot loader image and USB shows but it reads that it can't find my phone anymore. It's been charged to 100%. Deleted TEMP folder. Was guest under activesync. Changed my USB cables 10 times. It's frustrating. Please. Any suggestions??

Since it seems impossible to read anything on cyanogens experimental thread without page after page of complaints that apps are not working.
