Please stop deceiving us

Sorry for the bad title of my thread
I recently joined to this great forum hoping you'll solve my problem
I just bought that damn O2 xda mini S mobile (for me and my social situation a very expensive mobile) with about 12 months of my total monthly salary
I thought that I've already entered a world of new technology!!!!
I don't know what is wi fi for? and don't want to know
I don't know what is the radio version update for what? and also doesn't intended for that function?
all I wanted is to read some books , apply few calendars , perform some tasks , and that's all
I was shocked with a damn hanged device.
an incoming call with hanging , a SMS hangs my device.
and you still talking about great device with GPRS and a great wi-fi?
what is that where is the functionality of this stupid device as a moooooooooobile?
I tried many OSystems and no improvements
Not the manufacture's one , Not any of that forum ?
My question is . Is this a true mobile?
I don't think so.
Sorry for my bad english

Is this a question? Then yes.

ok im just going to say you shouldnt check this post for a couple days because other users are going to flame the hell out of you.
Now, there are things that we here at xda-developers have done to our phone to make them work very fast and become very reliable. I suggest that you look at some other posts and try to figure things out.
There will be a picture of your phone and then there will be different sub-forums, please just look.
You could at least type "what is wi-fi" into google, it'll will tell you the answer in less then a second.
But getting back to your post, im running Wm6 on my HTC Wizard, and it's incredibly fast and reliable.

so what are you trying to get across that you don't like your phone? And what do you mean about deceiving us.. who are we( this thread) deceiving. You posted this in the Wizard Mobile 6 part of the forum but you don't mention anything about WM6? so I dont understand what your trying to get at except that your unhappy with your device which I'm sry for but this site has done nothing but wonders for me and i thank everyone for helping out esp with my questions that are sometimes dumb.

You've already entered a world of new technology,then.

hehe, this is going to be fun

hhahaha
I'll give you 50 bucks for it! Send me your email address and I will paypal it to you.

Is this a Joke, Are you for real. You must me very dumb or just like to waste you life away!!!
I do not have any problems with my phone!!! Do you know why i dont? cus i took the time to research about my phone and read what can be done to it to make it so much better. Yes when i first got the phone with the T-mobile rom, i was abit let down, but that is cus the rom was badly made. But i am now running WM6 and it is running faster then i have ever had it, and i built it myself use a kitchen, so it is how i want it not some company.
Can i just say that the phone goes for about £200, I could have got you a Good PDA for less that will "read some books , apply few calendars , perform some tasks". And that you dont know what WIFI is and dont want to know, just says alot about you!!! I would just sell it to someone that knows What to do, and go back to using call boxes, (thats if you could work that out)
Please stop deceiving us????? It sounds like to me you are deceiving yourself to think that you have a brain!!!

Maybe this guy needs a palm tx or something, that has wifi and he can read his discovery books on it and use that great palm syncing software.....

It must be a joke. You buy a 12 months pay PocketPc and you don't even know what it does ? How old are you ? Why do you need "such an expensive" tool ?
One more question : How much did your Wizard cost ? I am just curious.
One more thing ... Why did you post this thread and What's it's purpouse ?
A. It's a complaint ? To who ?
Or
B. You're just getting bored, so you said ... "Hmm...why don't I post this and see how many fools waste their time writing "Wtf is wrong with you" messages ?"
C. You were ... just furious about your 12 months pay investment so you began thinking it's time to find somebody to blame.
I mean, C'mon man...I would understand that if you had tons of money ..and you didn't gave a sh** about what/where/how much you spend ... but still...

My favorite foods are probably Mexican and Chinese. What?? That wasn't what we were talking about? Sorry.

I will answer your questions . I hope your all questions
First answer I'm 44 years old
2nd I bought that device to help me in my job as i'm a doctor and have many
references , cases , calendars , and my patients' tasks, etc.
by the way the OS now in my device is your Xplore 1.1
In our country the mean monthly income is about 80$ (not me of course)
and this device costs me about 440 $
3rd question yes this device turns me mad as I surprised with it hanged and lost my incoming calls and sms
I tried everything I could and later I entered this forum may be I found an
answer to my problems
It doesn't matter to me if Wi-Fi , GPRS are excellent or not as these are not
of my importance
at all I thought I finished carrying my lab-top everywhere and replaced it with
a mini laptop with but unfortunately I finally carry a hanged device
I have one question to all of you
How many time you soft reset your device/day ?
Me at least 10 times a day.
Hope I answered your questions.
Thanks to all posts

0 times a day.
And you're a "doctor"?
Oh christ.

Most of your problems come from junk 3rd party software....

TouchPal localization

Hi there,
Someone knows how to localize the TouchPal keyboard?
Regards,
Taguapire.

But why even bother with that?
You can use this keyboard from www.fingertouchpro.com that is much better and supports English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian or even Greek, and you can also define your own languages.
I think it's clear what you should use

www.cootek.com
You can find all the information you need about this great keyboard....

I think if I read one more post pushing fingertouchpro this morning, I am going to puke.

I agree. Anyway, regardless of it's functionality I wouldn't use it because it looks disgusting. So they can post as much as they like, they won't sway me!

Mate, you don't need any software on your device - a nice looking artwork set as background would be more then you need. So judging the looks is not enough for let's say (the least) - a competent opinion.
Ad-posts are not good - but everybody does them. Why? Because marketing is part of everyday life. Even the tea you drink is because of some marketing campaign.
So your preferences in matter of keyboards are questionable. They are just a measure of the advertising you've consumed.
Bottom line, use FTPRO, is better

1. TouchPal was not brought to my attention through any kind of advertising.
2. I chose to use TouchPal after trying many, many different SIPs as I found it fitted my needs the best
3. I don't drink tea
Oh and...if I'm persuaded by the type of advertising I see, then I would never touch the one you're pushing on people...

I doubt this is true. It's not like you've seen a shop next to your house, selling touchpal. You've seen it somewhere, and that's advertising. Actually looking arround this forum I see it everywhere

Unfortunatelly it seems some of your choices where excluded randomly or on skin criteria. BTW, I need to inform you at this point that the skins are usually something that you can change.

This might be true, but usually to change this only takes more effort, to that point where even your friends tell you what you need to use.
This is getting to a philosophical level, so I'll stop now

Please do! Jees, I'm not usually one to get in an argument but you don't half force your product on people. I'm completely entitled to my opinion, and I don't want to use your keyboard..what's the problem?
Anyway, all I can say is you've guaranteed yourself one less customer, so congratulations

Anyone want to help me with a survey (3-5 min) for my exams?

Hello there, good people of XDA!
I'm not really sure if this is best suited here or in "Off-topic", but since it is phone-related, I figured I'd give it a go here.
It's a short survey about how you use your smartphone, and any help would be greatly appreciated. It's completely anonymous, as all I ask for is your age and gender.
For anyone wondering, it's for an contextual analysis about people and their smartphone usage, and it will be used as reference for my exam in consumer sociology.
Thank you for any help, and give me a head ups if it is better suited for another board.
Link for survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/BY2Q33Y
EDIT:
I've, shamelessly, added another more in-depth survey, where you have to type in quite a few of the answers. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to complete, and would be of great help for me. The first few questions are pretty similar, but the last few are, as I said, a bit more in-depth. There's no need to take them both, and you can chose for yourself which one you want to give a go. I'm happy either way.

I thought this was supposedly your exam?

Just took it. One problem though is that question 7 implies that everyone is in school, so I don't know how you will differentiate between people who use their phones in school who chose 1 and people who are not in school who chose 1 for that reason.

Completed the survey, Good luck with your exams! =)

Thanks for taking it guys.

Yeah, I guess I could have done that part differently. Actually, this go for a few of the questions. But people can just chose "1", for the things that don't apply for them, and I'll take it into account when analyzing the answers.
I can only have 10 questions before i have to start paying for the service, so i had to make the survey a bit more compact than what would be optimal. I could have used Google docs or something else for the survey, but i feel surveymonkey is pretty easy to use when analyzing the answers compared to many other services.
Anyways, thanks for helping out guys! I still need more answers, so keep'em coming! :good:

General Hopefully plenty of people get behind this device

Seems like a solid all round device, I'd say this should end up getting some development love

I agree, but I also see some flaws which might be unattractive to some developers. Specially the old chipset. But we will see how well it will turn out. To me, the hardware is pretty great, but the software is horrible.

To be fair alot of other high end phones are coming out with mediatek chips which severely limits development. Imo this chip is a good balance, a flagship speced processor would have bumped up the price alot considering the other specs are so good

Since we have two devices xiaomi/Poco I'd say we will have some support for sure. I'm surprised that xda made threads for these within the same week they were released so clearly they think there will be interest too

I think the problem is all the variants. I got mine from Aliexpress and it's a redmi note 11 pro but pissarro? I don't even see it on these forums.

Yeah Xiaomi/Poco have lots of slight differences and models haha. Similar phone but looks like yours has a mediatek chip which will mean next to zero development...

I'm also looking at buying a Redmi Note 11 Pro, specifically the non+ Snapdragon 695 in the hopes we will get development. I wanted the + with the MediaTek but I also realize that won't have any development so..

Dont expect too much support for this Phone. Because of its High Price for the low specs it flopped hard on the Market.

To be fair, I think the price more than justifies what you get. The only thing I hear people criticizing is that the processor is slower than the previous model - can't say I've experienced any stutters or lag etc. Each to their own but I'm more than happy

Absolutely, but i think you can get much more for the same price or even cheaper and most people thinking the same. For example: Why would i choose the X4 if i can get a F3 much cheaper.

I guess some people may prefer a phone that has a micro SD slot, alot faster charging, bigger battery and better battery life because a processor like that is overkill imo. Either way, both phones have their usages - like every phone, it has pros and cons. Out of curiousity, how come your here in this thread about it?

New uses for an old device (Arnova 9 G2)

Hey guys! I've been having an issue and IDK how to fix it after searching for days, and asking at the Noobs thread. My GF tasked me with making her old Arnova 9 G2 (quite the big device) usable again which... doesn't really seem possible, seems it's rooted (IDK why, it seems her dad rooted it somehow) but since it works with android 2.X nothing works, Chrome doesn't work, Firefox doesn't work, play store doesn't work, etc. etc. Is there a way of making it usable?
The only use I've thought about so far is downloading her books or College videos there for her to study, but i'd like for her to be capable of at least search something in google or watch a movie there without having to download it.
Do you guys know of ways in which I can breathe new life into this device?
And if not, do you know of any uses I could give it? It's only redeeming feature is it's big screen, so I thought about downloading some videos (it doesn't seem to have a big hard drive either)

The best thing to do is to scrap it. You would be wasting a lot of time to make it usable, and further waste exponentially longer time living with a laggy device that is pretty much useless today.
You are better off buying a new device, even if it is a couple of years old model.

Happy to help.
I have been through this at some time trying to put the 1st Generation iPad to some use (primarily media streaming). Most apps stopped working, so I tried bypassing this by jail-breaking it. It was of not much help either because the experience was just horrible. The hardware was just not cut for the demands of current generation apps. This is also due to planned obsolescence of the corporations.
At some point, we have to accept reality and move on. I'm sure your girlfriend would understand it.
Your English is very fine by the way. And language doesn't matter, communication does.

You can reuse it for something in spite of its limitations. A digital photo frame... cook, prayer, etc book. Gene Roddenberry would have killed for that limited (by today's standards) device.
I would keep it off the internet, no worries then.
