NFC - yes or no?
Does A800F have NFC or not? Some sources say it does, some that it doesn't. Can someone who has bought the phone in Europe confirm that there is a version with NFC, please?

If @matale0 You still have this problem and You are 100% sure that it is A800F - flash it by Odin with official software for UAE (CSC: XSG, current version A800FXXU1AOJ1) and after that do factory default.
I just bought A800F from UAE and with this firmware it has got polish lang (after flashing You will have only to download polish dictionary for spell checking and uninstall 2 apps).
PS: it's really pity that there is not much about A8 on XDA. It is great Samsung product, one of their best smartphones which is really good competitor to their Galaxy S and Note series (not joking!) Also pity that it is not on sale in Europe but I think that it is because price for older A7 is still high here thus A8 would have to be even more expensive which would be not competitive to prices for Galaxy S/Note.
I had both A7 and A8, Samsung did good job and A8 has got a lot of improvements over A7 :good:

Hey guys, been using the A8 for 3 weeks now and the experience has been nice. the only problems I have are that the battery discharges by 1% every 3mins when I'm using the phone moderately. also, there's occasional stuttering when sliding through home screen..I don't know what to do again

Try download app called More Locale 2 from Play store. If that won't help then you're out of luck.

Is it normally included in stock Sense roms?
it's included in ROM and more locale 2 helped me to change language to Farsi (or Persian).
but the keyboard layout is English yet.
i installed another keyboard (called smartkeyboardpro).
is there any Rom available for my phone which has these features in it when i install it?
thanks

Farsi is mostly speaks in Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and some other countries. Also known as Persian. Unfortunately Persian language is removed by HTC from google's stock jelly bean rom when they were cooking Sense. Only a few HTC phone models made specially for Iran have included Persian language in their rom.
"More local" does not do any good for rom localization because Persian, Arabic, Hebrew are essentially right to left languages. Perfect localization also provide Hejri (Shamsi or Khorshidi) calendar for the regions mentioned above.
Ok guys, i understand.
But there is not much i can do for you. Only thing you can try is this mod.
Its ParfieldIME, but for ics so i don't know if it will work for you.
Be careful! Don't flash the zip there, it has other mount points as our phone!
Unzip it, copy with root explorer to the folder where it belongs and set permission like other files in the folder.
its not farsi
persian

That looks awesome. Hoping you'll also get more manufacturers in the Unlock Tool list =)
can we do it also for RK3188 Android TV Box ?
for example i have K-R42 quad core ..
Thank you !
Can you add support to HTC Butterfly x920d (Asia) as well?
I see only x920e and NOT x920e in your website
Using SNAPEA at the monent
I am waiting for this version for long time - now I am using the competitor's software SNAPEA - which is more faster and stable in installing APKs - I hope SHUAME will improve these aspects....
English version download
Is it available for download English version?
Would love to have this in English.
I think it should not be a big problem to translate into English. It will be much helpful to many. Thanks.
Can't wait to try this out thanks

[Q] Which ROM for the 3G/32GB Gold mate?

Hello,
i'm little confused which ROM is right for my 3G/32GB Gold Mate7 Dual Sim? (Running Single SIM and SD)
Huawei Support:
If i check the link from Huawei Support http://consumer.huawei.com/en/support/downloads/index.htm?pcode=MT7-TL10&pname=MT7-TL10 it shows Ascend Mate7 firmware(MT7-TL10,Android 4.4,Emtion UI 3.0,V100R001C00B119SP03,General Version)
EMUI:
If i check the link from EMUI http://www.emui.com/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=97 it shows B121SP05【EMUI3.0_Android4.4】【2014年12月4日更新】. That's also my installed version...

What does the syntax mean? V100 - R001 - C00 -BXXXSPXX? Due to that i also have a CHN in front of the C00?
Maybe someone can clarify

Problems after Nougat update

Hi,
I am using S7 with Nougat. I am facing few problems-
- Whenever I open Samsung Theme store to download new themes or icon packs, the photos/screenshots of the same does not load. Hardly the screenshots of 1 or two themes/icon pack loads and that too not all of them. Check the following-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

}
- I downloaded Batman theme from the internet. When I try to purchase it, I get this error-
- I downloaded an icon pack, Black_Onyx, how to uninstall/delete the same. I was not able to find any option for the same (check no signal of the service provider)-
- The mobile signal automatically goes off for a few seconds, 10-40 seconds, randomly many times when I am using the phone and then automatically comes back-
- Any help regarding this too-

i have the same signal problem in BTU with 6.0.1 and 7.0 in Argentina, so i flash the ZTO (Brazil) and in my region a have not any problem with signal in 6.0 but 7.0 ota its unaviable, so i think that its a region problem with the Stock Rom.
sorry for my poor english.
So it's not just me. Even I have issues with signal. But only on my secondary SIM. I have dual SIM 935FD S7

Do you have any idea how long HTC normally takes (e.g. on other devices) to run through the stages? Are we talking about a few days/weeks or even some months again?
If i'm asking already: does HTC support firmware updates by custom ROMs or does one have to flash stock bootloader+ROM first? Huawei had something like that and 'just' updating was never as fast as I wish it would have been
Its usually from when it starts rolling out a couple weeks till everyone gets ota... unless something goes wrong
