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.

Hi Guys,
I want to buy a phone that I can install TomTom on ... I am thinking of the XDA Mini S.
Can anybody tell me if the Mini S is ok to use with TomTom (performance etc) and if so what are the better GPS receivers out there to use?
Thanks.
yes mate. i have a xda mini s and ttn5 with bt77 gps. works perfect. in summer i drove 3500 miles across europe and did not trouble me once. the only thing is avoid picking calls during navigation as it loses gps memory and it is a pain in the a**e to pair it.
last month i fixed ttn5 on mate's minis and so far he hasnt had any troubles.
for the last two days im trying to get ttn6 and will try it then...

I am using TomTom 6 on an o2 XDA mini and have seen no problems. I can take calls while navagating using hands free and the navigations continues minus the voice prompts. The phone itself is fantastic, unless you try to run lots of things at once, but I have never had a problem with processing speed.

I think you might be a bit mixed up with your thoughts though as the XDA mini is not a GPS receiver, nor does it contain one. You have to buy a separate bluetooth GPS receiver.
Hope that helps.
I picked up a HTC One XL for my parents to replace an aging 5 year old Nokia candy bar that could autoanswer after a couple of rings while you drive (2009 honda accord factory bluetooth) There seems to be no autoanswer option in the standard factory firmware, HTC Taiwan have confirmed this. Does the Cyanogen 10.1 or 10.2 mod enable this as an option? Or does the One XL remain a psuedo dumb phone? Cheers Monty
There are apps on the Play Store that can accomplish that.

Thanks for the reply, but no they don't, I have installed 10 different ones that promise the world and deliver nothing as far as enabling a function that HTC has left off.
do any of the moderators have any ideas?
Hi all, does anyone, Moderators have any idea if CM10.1 or 10.2 enables\supports the BT handsfree in car "autoanswer" function for the HTC One XL?
This is so disappointing for a smart phone.
Please don't tell me there are apps that do this because I cannot find any after an exhaustive search, HTC confirmed by email its NOT part of the current software on the phone. HELPPPPPPPPPP.
I doubt anyone is using an autoanswer mode. It certainly is a fringe feature few would use.
I just use a bt headset in the car. Easier to push a button in my ear than accidentally auto-answer the phone for relatives I don't want to talk to lol. Can't say I would see a real use for that... just my opinion though.

I feel the same way. Auto answer can lead to some embarrasing situations.

Just wondering but since I got my N5 and GF got Moto X on Monday, I can really tell the difference in speaker quality between the two and I use my phone to play music quite a bit. Has anyone just replaced the speaker in the phone? Is it even possible to purchase the tiny phone speakers separately?

OK, so you point me to an old thread that has no real information besides a few people saying they haven't tried it. Thanks.:good:
Your best bet is a pair of external speakers IMO. Otherwise software mods can push the built-in a bit further.

I was afraid of that. After watching a few teardown videos, it doesn't look like just any other cell phone speaker would fit. Seems like a proprietary setup.

If your willing to root your phone then install Viper4Android. No need for any other change. Check out the dedicated N5 and Viper4Android thread in this forums themes and apps section. The difference will be stunning for speakers, earplugs and bluetooth.

1) It's not really old.
2) It shows what the search function exists for
3) It gives you the same answers you would get if you asked (as this thread proves!)
until we get this phone setup with a proper thread on xda, post your tips and general questions here.
i have the phone so if you want anything tested let me know.
Great stuff let's hope Rayglobe comes aboard

yeah lets hope
yeah lets hope for that.
that vivo root app doesnt work for me. it begins then i get google services crash which leads to a reboot, only for the app to finish with an X id imagine meaning unsuccessful .
edit:
turned it off charge, and it worked.
even with English some menus etc are still in Chinese . liaow are rolling the phone out now with an international rom so wonder if thats what we have which i doubt.
How are you guys liking the phone? Except for the fact that some of the sub menus still are in Chinese. I noticed a beta version of Fun Touch Rom 1.17.11 is up, can't read the changelog though as it's in Chinese!
I've gotten Photo+ to work, even printed out the picture to see if it worked and it did. Tried to get the navigation to work. In one of their Vivo videos, three students use the AR Navi in Finland, so I was hoping this could be used in Europe, and it probably still can only again all the submenus are in chinese. There are downloadble maps, but as far as I can tell only Chinese cities.
By the way I am Mars from Denmark on the Liaow page
I find that text on screen seems to break up words as it hits the edge of the screen instead of moving the entire word to a new line. Same when reading online text or in apps etc. No sub menu to change text size to fix this. Anyone know what the button under the finger print scanner is ?

there is no button under the finger print scanner and I have the same problem with the words breaking up at the edge of the screen and its really frustrating and also I am having a problem locating my self using google map app do you guys know how to fix it and thanks.
Settings>Mix-Match>Font.... There you can change font size but still the same, breaking up words.
Sent from my vivo Xplay3S using Tapatalk
Found that in mix match. I'd imagine its to do with the translation from Chinese. We need an international ROM. Even the manuals in the phone are Chinese which is useless The button on the back is to take pictures with on the camera. I'll have a look at my maps see if I can sort it.

OK installed Google maps and turned on GPS data and WiFi. It did nothing. Searched my network again and picked the one I'm on then it seemed to work. Not sure if it knew were I lived based on my Google now location, but when I searched a route it asked me to start from my location. Seems to be working from that end. The maps won't find my location though when clicking the location button. So maybe there's a problem there with gps

It takes almost 10 to 20 minutes first time to get satellites, after that 2 or 3 mins and ready to go, let it on gmaps until gps starts working

Why want a sub-forum on XDA when there's a whole forum dedicated to international Vivo users? I assume the chances are low that a Xplay 3S sub-forum will ever be added to XDA...
I just registered for that forum, not too many people there yet though.
As for the GPS issue, yes it does take 20 mins for the first fix, then 1-2min for the second time you try. After that it Works perfectly.
The fingerprint scanner is a button as well. With air wake gestures enabled and blackscreen you can activate the phone by pressing the fingerprint button and Draw a V or M to activate the function of the choice.

Are you on about Google maps or the maps app on phone, as my Google maps finds my location in roughly 20 seconds

Yeah, sure. The community still needs to grow and there're not many Vivo users outside of China. But hey, we need to start somewhere!
Hi to all Proud owners of "VIVO Xplay 3S", can anyone please advise how is the DTS-X sound quality?
Also do you get any preloaded 2k content on the phone?
How is the sound quality when playing music via stock headphones?
And last but not least do you know if this device support Wi-fi "AC" Standard or support for wi-fi "N" both 2.4 and 5 Ghz?
Any recommended site to order this Device ? As I live in Ireland.
Many Thanks
Hi mate from Ireland myself most of us if not all bought it from liaow . HiFi sound when enabled is amazing. It only works on vivos own apps video music etc. There was 2 or 3 vids preloaded for samples basically the ads floating around the web. Crystal clear. Not sure about the WiFi but it works good. I find the network signal isn't as good as my last phone. 4g works well. The translated text from Chinese to English is a bit messy . ie : words broken at edge of the screen . small glitches until the international ROM is released . overall I'm happy.

Build quality is excellent too, in fact I'm looking at getting the ZTE Nubia X6 from Liaow as well

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?
