I recently put the FR0X7 Xdandroid on my CDMA Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2, and I am very happy with it. I am astounded by the technological possibilities of these little devices. The only annoying thing my phone has started doing since I've begun to run it in Android exclusively is reboot itself. I am not sure if I did something wrong when I installed it. I have looked at this forum for weeks, and I am having trouble figuring out which advice given is now out of date and might have changed with the new version of this froyo. A lot of stuff I'm finding is from 2010.
So, my first question is if anyone knows if there is a way to keep it from rebooting like this. It's a real drain on the battery.
Which brings me to the second question. The battery drains a lot faster than it does in WinMo. I don't know if this is because it's running on the SD card or not. I have made a lot of changes to the settings based on advice here, so I don't know if there's anything else I can do.
I remember seeing threads stating that the bluetooth worked now. I have the RHOD400 startup, and on mine, bluetooth won't even turn on. So, I got the handsfree set that plugs into the headphone jack, but I've used two different ones, and both of them didn't have working mics on my phone, so I don't know if that's something related to the Android build or not. Has anyone run into this? I really need a handsfree device of some kind to work because of the new driving law in my city.
I should probably have said I use Gen Y Dual Boot to boot Android instead of the Haret.exe file.
Hi all,
I'm new to some of this and hope you can help with a decision i have to make.
I have a 2007 For Fiesta ST and im wanting to ditch the standard double DIN head unit in favour of something a little more up to date. I have a few choices and was hoping you may be able to help me choose based on your own personal experience etc.
My Choices are as follows:-
Replace the standard head unit for an Android/Other OS head unit with touch screen interface.
Custom build an Android based Car PC with 7" touchscreen (ODROID or similar)
Adapt a Tablet with various bits and bobs and install it into the dash permanently, i have a Galaxy Tab 2 but wouldnt mind getting a Nexus 7.
Now, these have various pros and cons, mainly down to cost, ease of installation, availability of parts/modules and my very basic knowledge of compiling custom kernels.
EDIT. I better add a list of features to help with replies. I need FM radio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, decent storage capacity (min 16gb), GPS for satnav and USB inputs
Please help

Almost a week online, 59 views and no replies
No matter, i ended up buying a 2012 Nexus 7 3G for my install. It came with 4.4.2 installed.
My next question is, i tried installing Timurs USB ROM onto it after i rooted it but when it had finished, it had regressed Android to 4.2.2. Are there any later versions of the USB ROM that allow installing on a 2012 N7 whilst keeping Android 4.4.2?
Thanks again,
Bri.
....and by old, I mean, this thing has got to be 6 or 7 years old, now. I lost the charger for a few years, so I didn't use it.
Now, I found the charger, the tablet seems to be charging (I've yet to ascertain if it will hold that charge, but, whatever). I have use for it, to use the HDMI output to connect to a TV, and just generally use around the house for browsing, games, etc.
My problem is that there seems to be absolutely zero support for this thing. The manufacturer hasn't released a single update; I'm stuck on some bastardization of Gingerbread 2.3. I can't find any custom ROMs that support the device. I have no clue what tablet it's a clone of or anything. There was only one result on the forums here, from 2011, and with no responses (unless I missed something).
I don't expect to have the latest-and-greatest, but am curious what may be available out there. I have flashed custom ROMs on phones before, so, am not altogether unfamiliar. And a YouTube video (from 2011/12) had a product rep at some convention who said they are all rooted, so, that's one less headache.
Any help would be much appreciated, even if it's simply to direct me to resources where I can discover what my upgrade options are, at least to find out what version of Android I can use and tools for building my own custom ROM (yes I know it's time-consuming, I probably would just deal w/ Gingerbread at that point).
Thank you!!
I am trying to identify my phone's real manufacturer.
I am almost completely deaf in my right ear, partially deaf in my left ear and (since 2016), suffer severe Tinnitus.
In 2017 I replaced a "Doro PhoneEasy 740" phone with an "Amplicomms PowerTel M9500". This is sold in the UK by Action on Hearing Loss (the trading name of the Royal National Institute for the Deaf) as a Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) Android phone achieving M4/T4 capability.
Support for this phone is difficult, the Amplicomms email system replies in German that there is a server problem, and the telephone support was an ordinary landline, and very difficult for me to hear. Their only solution to my problems was a factory reset.
In July 2017, a wireless update failed, but the phone still worked until April this year (2018), when I was forced to do a factory reset as I would not connect to the phone network.
I could not find any mention of a model M9500 anywhere on this, or other forums, and the boot menu is in Chinese.
Both "Settings>About phone" and Bluetooth devices recognise the phone model as an "M9500_type_F100"
Since the factory reset, Google Play now recognises the phone as a Hipstreet M9500 Type 100, but I cannot find such a device anywhere on the web, certainly not on Hisptreet's own website.
The phone has the following features :- Dual SIM, 4G LTE, 2.4 & 5GHz wifi, 5" screen, SOS button on the rear, 2 and 8 Mpixel cameras, Android 5.1, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal SD (I think), sound levels up to 40dB phone and 90dB loudspeaker, and claims HAC of M4/T4.
I am in severe doubt about the latter feature as it is not really anything like as good as my Doro 740, that was only M3/T4 HAC rating. There is considerable interference when trying to use it with my hearing aids on loop.
The phone as supplied has a "seniors" interface that can be disabled so full Android OS is available, unlike my Doro.
The reason I have had to retire the Doro is that that it also has "simplified" interface that is locked down that cannot be bypassed, the Developer Options cannot be enabled, believe me, I have tried. All Doro Support suggest is to buy their later version.
Does anyone have any idea where I can get detailed technical documentation/certification ?
I am fairly ofay with the basics of Linux and learning the variety of implementations of android, so not a complete newbie.

Yes, that is my phone, but as you will see, the real technical details are rather sparse.
Similarly, the online shop gives no more information. (As I haven't yet done 10 posts I can't post any links.)
Search:- action on hearing loss shop phones t548-amplicomms-9500
They all claim that it is M4/T4 compliant but it does not perform as well as my Doro did with my hearing aids.
When the phone is put near my hearing aid when the aid is on loop there is interference that makes it of no use.
I have checked out the M4/T4 (HAC) compliance, it is an FCC requirement if the phone is for sale to deaf people in the USA.
Search:- fcc consumers guides hearing-aid-compatibility
It seems to me quite possible that, going by the statement on that page, the HAC requirement is all about loudness and magnetic (loop) signal strength, not about interference via the magnetic loop sensor. I am hoping that, by tracking down the original equipment manufacturer, I could find out on what basis they have claimed M4/T4 compliance and whether other purchasers of the phone should be warned, or establish if mine might have a problem. As I said in my first post, my past experience of Ampliconns support has not been good.
Knowing the manufacturer and chipset would also give me more confidence of success should I want to root the phone at some time, or perhaps upgrading the Android version to a Go edition, as I am constantly tweaking the install to keep the apps I want.
The simplified interface shown in all the blurb can be turned on and off via the settings menu. It really is set up for people with poor motor skills and low levels of computer literacy. I run mine with the full Android 5.1 GUI.
Hi. New here. Have learned a lot from this forum about using ADB and playing with my phone a bit.
I bought a cheap 100 and change android off Ali express. They sell smaller sized handsets which seem less common these days on the mainstream market.
The phone boasts good specs online. It has no brand on it or make model number anything. The back pops off old-school like and doesn’t say anything.
when I check the imei on imei.info it comes back to a
Make: I-MOBIL C
model: I-MOBIL DE CV
It’s advertised as an Ip13mini. I think it’s rooted. Comes with developer options turned on. No set up screen it brings you right to the Home Screen. It’s android. But the icon pack are iPhone icons.
it functions poorly. Connects to wifi but play store won’t download apps. Try to sideload app files and there’s an error. Try to debloat with ADB and it says —user 0 unknown or something.
The guy only responds with ‘my phone work normal’
what else. Oh. Even though you can’t do anything with the phone, the battery drains rapidly like, every few seconds it drops a bit.
Can I flash anothe rom onto this thing? The searching I did shows me download instructions for many roms android lineage etc but for specific handsets.
is there a generic stock android or any OS for that matter that I can put into this phone? And where can I find instructions on how to do the flashing?
I have a good laptop to assist me.
I got the 256gb version expecting a semi smooth android experience at least. I’ve had other cheap Chinese phones and some had stellar performance and zero bloat. I’ll attach a pic of the screen with its specs.
hoping to learn something new since I never flashed a custom rom before.
