Sorry vprince, I cant help you there as I am not from Malaysia.
Anyhow I suggest you investigate further usability of this device. I still have one Big question in my mind about this device: As the screen cant be twisted and the external screen is to small or not able to show contacts HOW TO MAKE Phone calls from contacts?????

The Toshiba's have consistantly bad reviews and the advice at Modaco seems to be to avoid them at all costs!
I use an Athena now but do mus my Universal... There is nothing similar available.

Sorry to say but this problems is not solved. I have just ”test” this crap of software and destroyed the speaker. The owner (Mike Reid) of this sw not even alert me about the known problem with burning the speakers in the past. I did not know them only AFTER it happened to me. May 29 was a black day for me. The main problem was that this guy not even try to compensate me even it was 100% his fault. He did not warn me about the problem. I found later (to late) about this problem it happend to others also. I have ordered the speaker from Ebay (it was 3,5 usd and the transport was free of charge) so he could easily ”clean” his fault.
So guys, take care about the risks with this sw.

That's weird. I've been using it an hour a day for the past month with no issues. Mike did report in his thread that the issue was fixed long ago.

It's not working on Asylum ROM w/ Thor kernel.

It's not meant for Samsung ROMS. Samsung fm app is their own and cannot be used in custom ROMS.

I did. Well, I emailed it to him. He said it was probably the kernel. Not much I can do. I got a refund. I'll keep trying the free one after updates just to see. Oh well.

Hey. I have just repaired my speaker, only installing again the kernel. Try it, maybe is the solution.

Happy for you that you have no damage. Sorry to say but a physically damaged (as was mine) is not repaired by reinstalling the kernel or even the whole rom. Anyway I will try no more on any other phone and advice all my friends for that, because of the risky you can have. More than that, even if there will be no risky in the future for this software, the guy who made it worth no cent because of his behavior. Such persons who don't care about what happened to others (and I repet, it was 100% his fault because he didn't warn me) worth only loathing from me.

Still using it fine here...

Once again. I am not telling you all not to use it. I was told my experience just to warn you that you could have this situation. As I told before, if Mike warn me about this possibility I, and not him, should be blamed for my try. But more he has a strange behavior after I acuse him that he is quilty for that. My background teaching stops me not to show our correspondence to a public view to see the real man behind this software. Piece of crap. For me, a human been is more important than a couple of bucks spend to repair something...

Not right for you to call another human being a piece of crap though. Mike does a lot of hard work and I don't think its fair for you to throw him under the bus like that. Be the bigger man over a $3.50 speaker..... You've been bitter for EXACTLY 6 months to the day in this thread. Get over it

[Q] HTC One S and Copilot

Hi
I just wondering about buying htc one s.
But i have two questions :
- does it work with copilot ( Offline Gps ) ?
And if you wanna answer to this question too :
- would you have prefer wait and buy the x one ?
Thank you so much
=> on their website, they say it is, but i'm looking for someone who already did it (you can test free version of copilot as well, but shutdown data and wifi)

I don't see why CoPilot shouldn't work. I have it on my N1 and tablet.
I'll install it on the One S tonight and post back.

I asked it, because at beginning i saw sony xperia s , but it doesn't appear on copilot website http://copilotlive.com/uk/personal/android.asp, clique on "Is your phone/tablet compatible?" on the right.
So the xperia s isn't listed, so i look about the htc one s (which is in the list)

maybe i'm too hurried, but what was the result ?

I just bought it.
I'll have it on wednesday, i'll tell you.
I hope i'll not be disapointed, by this phone with/without this app.

Yes. I have Co-pilot and it works fine.

Sorry I didn't get back to this thread.
Yes it work as posted already by ascot17 already.

works fine but is totally useless on the one s as the speaker volume is so low its unusable in a car. Or at least in mine and my friends instance.

Agreed that the speaker volume is not great. I find it better using Co-pilot however than Google Navigation which is even quieter!

I can't work it out as my cheap 50 pound android phone is louder

Hi
Thank you all for your responses.
The sound doesn't matter for me, because i always mute it (i just take a look sometimes to see my way ; exept when I use the speed alert).
Sad to see that this phone already has a bad point.

Yeah wow, looks pretty shoddy, but considering I don't see repair parts for the special edition anywhere, I don't think we'd have a choice. I guess with a case on it afterwards you probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Quick question - have you compared the connectors of the backlight for the Kenzo and Kate? Is there any difference? Wonder if it might be software related?

Has anybody tried replacing both the screen and the backplate? If we're lucky we only have to change both and then have no 2mm gap between display and housing.

Hmm? The midframe is 152.5mm... Xiaomi did not extended the length of this phone for fun... if you did that it would not fit at all

Another update... I talked to the people at Cellspare.com and they say that they should have stock again within two months. A long time to wait for parts :/

I have just ordered it, it was available for the gold one at least. Previous to the payment I calculated shipping cost to Finland with my address and it was 0€, it said also the delivery time was 7-10 days. After they´ve received the payment (39,42€), they sent an e-mail with the real delivery time: 11/05. So from 7-10 days to 23 days...
I will have time to check some youtube videos about LCD replacement and decide if I will do it by myself, meanwhile I´m already asking for budget is some shops... I´m not quite slick about assemblings/ replacements.

big problems with bluetooth and the car

Hey.
Had this phone for a week now and whilst it's a great phone, there appears to be a few bugs which need sorting. The main one is the incompatibility with the car for controlling apps like Spotify or streaming music via Bluetooth.
The later is a real pain and one which is causing me to seriously consider getting rid of this device as it's a killer feature for me due to the amount of driving I do.
Had a quick look at Talk Sony forum and a few other people have the same problem but as of yet there is no update or word from Sony.
Anyone else have the same experience and a potential solution?
Cheers
Scott

No solution, I got word from Sony that they are working on it, but my guess is that this will be fixed with Android O, and this could be months ahead :/
But maybe we will receive an update for Android 7, who knows...

Thanks for the reply. This kind of settles it then as Monday is last day of my cooling off period.. Gonna have to take it back as there is no way I can function in my job if I can t use handsfree properly or music
Such a shame.

had the same thing, after much research i found its probably the fact that the premium has bluetooth 5, with special codecs for music streaming. Non of which was available in 2012 when my car was made.
Ive ordered a £3 hadfree kit of ebay to see if that makes any difference.

I was gonna do the same but the only offer they gave me was an s8 with less data for an extra £15 a month. I stuck with the Sony and am hoping when my new car arrives it works.
Good luck.

I have a new 2017 BMW and I am stunned that it doesnt work. The S8 works great and the iPhone is perfect but for some reason Sony have been left out in the dark.

Spoke to Sony. They do believe their device is at fault and have no plans to do any software tweaks till Android O

I dont have any issues with mine controlling pause, play, last or next song, but I switched to Deezer a while back. Ive had more than one issue with Spotify on other devices, so I moved on from that service.

It's such a strange problem.

Hi guys goodevening I've solve this issue ! you just to go o dev menu anche change bluetooth version avrcp from 1.6 to 1.4 after that it will worck again with the idrive with any app.

I tried changing avrcp to 1.4 yet it still won't stream music at all to my alpine head unit.
Didn't even come up as an option under Bluetooth. Says it is connected for calls and contacts only.
The alpine works fine with galaxy note 2, 4, galaxy s5 and s8, Huawei y550. So the fault is with the xz premium.

Same Problem with Alpine and Bose. Solution?
