I start to hate Raphael. There is everything inside,but nothing,that can I normally use without problems. I am now on a bussiness trip,I was testing GPS while driving...****!!! Absolutely useless, 70% of time without satellites,25% with unacurrate positio(more than 200m away of the road),only 5% of the time that was working normally(quiet). Now I am on the hotel and viola! I can connect to wifi,but after some seconds rhe network is unavailable and it is still connecting/disconnecting all the time round and round. This text I am writing from my laptop,where Wifi is working correctly(50% of available signal strength and the router is located 10m away from me behind the door). What the hell is the HTC nowadays? Raphael should be NOT a lowend,but as it seems,it is!!! This company starts to sucks.
Has anyone same problems with wifi as me? I have wifi set to maximum performance,but still sucks.

You really seem pissed at HTC mate... I dint have any issues with mine so far though... Note that the Wifi receiver on your laptop is always better than on your phone. If its 50% on the laptop then it can't be within like 10 metres or there must be loads of obstacles...

Your wifi receiver will NEVER be as good as the equivalent from a laptop/pc. Remember if you wanted maximum wifi performance just like your laptop then your battery life will be VERY poor.
Remember dude this device is what?...a MONTH old? There are ALWAYS problems with HTC devices when they are stock, give the thing time to be developed for properly here.

So what if it's about a MONTH old?! It should work flawlessly when you take it from the box! That's why you've paid a lot of money.. not to wait for PARTIAL 3rd-party solutions that can avoid your warranty!
I see a lot of issues, a lot of unhappy people, etc etc.. will actually htc take an action to resolve all those bugs (I think the majority are software related) or they will close their eyes like usual (see previous device and htc attitude)?
if htc will do exactly nothing about those problemes, I think the only solution is to announce the mass of their stupid ignorance. i'm really upset and had enough of it.
I've made a topic with some of most common problems of htc touch pro. If noting gonna change i will forward that topic (including some other from here) to all the big mobiles news site (gsmarea, mobile-review, coolsmartphone, engadget, etc) to spread the real news about their latest overpriced devices. And should I mention about the previous devices? And about their care for their costumers? Nah.. THIS MUST BE STOPPED! It's time to correct their problems or drop it!
REALLY PISSED OF WHAT HTC HAS BECAME.

If you want great out-of-the-box phone, dont buy HTC.
Sorry, but thats just the way things are. My TyTN was almost unusable out of the box...

As far as I know,that no PPC from HTC was usable right out-of-the-box. Beginning with Himalaya,which WM2003 was unable to wake me up in that time,that alarm was set(yes,4 years of developing makes the device almost perfect),via Hurricane sold as SDA II(unusable without skills in WM,now it is pretty good),to this piece of terrible device. I bought Raphael due to presence of technologies,I want to use. Without these technologies,I can keep my lovely Himalaya,that is working perfectly. Only some devices I know,was problemless and they have all working,that I was expected:Typhoon and Oxygene. So my favorite HTC's are all the time Himalaya and Typhoon/Feeler/Sonata and all other PPC's branded by HTC origin sucks. HTC is no more the old good HTC,that we know without its own mark(beginning with Hermes as TyTN...OMG that was a big s..t).

[Q] Galaxy S and the Sony Ericsson LiveView Accessory

Hello SGS lovers and developers!
So, many of you will be aware of the Sony Ericsson LiveView gadget that has just recently gone on sale (im in the UK and got my pre-order unit yesterday). For those that are not, its essentially a secondary AMOLED display connected to your android 2.x handset by bluetooth. Its supplied with a watchstrap in order to give it some sort of geek chic (i think).
Well it works! It is definitely cool.
That said, as is frequent nowdays, the product is rushed to market before its ready. The marketing coupled with the time of year as well as the marvelously low pricepoint (£50) means i expect they will shift loads of them in the coming weeks now that it has been released. Sadly, the software is nowhere near ready IMHO.
If you read around this forum you will see that the main issues regarding this product is its bluetooth connection which is quite frankly, pants. My SGS seems happy with the device for maybe 60% of the time, the rest of the time it is absurd. Now i fully understand that any software revisions by SE will likely improve on this, but it is my understanding that it is the actual bluetooth stack in the SGS that is the root of the problem as it zaps almost all the CPU. Every few hours, the phone starts to vibrate constantly for about 30 seconds (or more) and then generally locks up usually resulting in a battery pull. Not ideal.
Many users want to send theirs back for a refund. For me, i would rather impress my mates but i need it to bloody work for that!
Not being a developer i thought i would challenge you all (those that are interested anyway) to investigating how we can improve this. SGS (Eclair) is publicaly listed as compatible by SE.
With time (and its Sandbox SDK) i know this product has great potential both practically and as just tech bling! Even though apps and functionality are a little limited for now, when it does work, its great!
Oh and btw i am running UK SGS with Darkys 4.0 Voodoo FROYO ROM.
Anyone got any ideas on how to improve it?

Sorry but, you can only post in development if you have cooked a ROM etc. Questions should be in Q&A.

Thanks, its been moved.

Does anyone have any update on this device, specifically if it works better with the Froyo update?
I think it looks pretty slick if it works well I would buy one.

unfortunally it doesn't work well neither with jp6(2.2) nor with jpy(2.2.1) it isn't an android problem but a problem in the device itself sony will bring an update soon(according to engadget) they promice some fixes should i report how they work out)?

Im in the same boat as you buddy. Apparently SE is gonna release an update for the liveview this month and its supposed to be major, aimed mainly at supporting the various android phones over bluetooth as the problem is common. I've tried it with my GS, x10i and a Dell Streak. Works sometimes, and then fails jus like u described on all. Lets hope the update coming out this month is FIRSTLY on time and SECONDLY works!
just google - liveview update, shld b the 1st hit...

Just to inform you:
I use the LiveView with the update since tuesday. Few connection issues, working really good.
Only Problem is: Using the LiveWare App provided by Sony Ericsson let's my Phone crash or slow down all the time. Just uninstaledl it and start the LieView App manually when needed and no Probs with that any more.

I have one question, is it worth buying the liveview for the sgs.

I hear that it drains that the battery a fair bit even when showing only time. Can someone confirm ?

it does not drain battery that much at all. While connected to the live view, If you look at the bluetooth connection icon in the status bar, you wont even notice that it is connected to the live view. Where as if you are connected to a bluetooth headset you would see that there is a constant bluetooth connection icon.
Also would like to add that I have upgraded the firmware of the live view unit and it seems a little more stable with the connection. But still freezes up occassionally when not in use and connected. Still needs improvements if you ask me.
To those wondering if you should buy it now. I recommend that you hold off for a while untill there are further updates from SE. I am currently on Darky's ROM 9.3 b3 and have tried it the live view with all Darky releases since 8.0 or so I think.

Windows Phone 7 rant

I am a die hard WM user - never used any other OS. Was awaiting WP7 for months!
It is a dumb blonde! Pretty, but useless.
1. Keyboard is good, but no option to longpress for numbers
2. Phone dialler - no option to dial name of contact on phone dialler
3. Can't search calendar for specific appointments
4. Office hub is useless - can't organize in folder, ending up with loooong list of documents.
5. Word mobile is hopeless for formatting compared to WM6.5
6. Adobe PDF documents - can't be organized in folders. Can't even rename files
7. No video calling
8. The stupidest thing: Can't transfer files from PC to phone. What the ^$%^$ !
I have to go to Dropbox every time!

Buy an android phone lol

6.5
Stay with a WM 6.5 device. I kept my FUZE but after some time with the Focus would NEVER use it or any other WM device again. I felt a lot like you do at first, but that quickly wore off the more I used WP7. If you already bought it and feel the way you do, sell it and get something else. I used to see a lot of rants like this months ago but see almost no posts like yours recently. I think you should have posted this months ago, you might have found some allies, but not today.

Well said. I was going to say pretty much the same thing. I struggled going from WM to WP at first (I still miss swype dearly) but after a few days of WP7 I could never go back despite some shortcomings.

Goodbye 6.5
The things I thought I could not live without in WM6.5 have turned out to be silly. I don't know why I felt that way. Anyway, many apps I used on 6.5 are now available on WP7, and more coming daily. The news of the potential features in Mango take away many if not most of my concerns.

I think we need to remember that WP7 is very young still, iOS didn't have copy and paste also when it came out... Give it a year or so I'm sure WP7 will be up there.

My grouse is that WM 6.5 had so many features that have been stripped down to the point that WP7 is inconvenient. Why strip down Office to a bare minimum? Why remove the smart dialler in the phone? Why remove the long press for numbers in the keyboard? Why no USB functionality? Moreover, there are inconsistencies within WP7 itself. Why no voice GPS? E.g., why no search option in calendar? Why no zune support for synching data files? Why no wifi tethering?
I am not comparing WP7 to other OS. I am comparing it with Microsoft's own previous product. 6.5 to 7 is meant to be an upgrade, but it is actually a downgrade.
Why deliver a stripped down product when the previous product (6.5) had all these? And now, they have to catch up with "updates" with all the attendant bad publicity, and poor sales.
They had 3 years to get it right. They had at least 8 months in the beta testing when people clamored for copy-paste.
Stupid clowns.

That is a biggie, agreed. And let us not forget custom ring tones (sure you can sideload, but really MS screwed the pooch here).

In some important ways it is a downgrade, in other ways it is an upgrade. All in all WP7 may be better due to newer/faster hardware, yet the FAIL of lackluster Bluetooth integration, no rSAP, no custom ring tones, no way to sync files easily, no wireless tethering, etc, etc and yes etc is really a let down. MS always seem to go three steps forward and two steps back, then perhaps release ONE of the two 'lost' steps like it is a huge improvement and technology advancement. If MS does not get their act together and release what many consider normal features, the Android market will leave MS in the dust.
MS can do much better, so what is keeping them from reaching some simple goals every other major phone OS has been doing for many years (including MS' 6.x)? THAT is the real question.

I think the worst thing is the wifi sleep issue that no one can seem to find a fix for. I bought one a week ago and its been sitting in the box while I use my desire. I just can't use it properly without having the option to leave wifi on

I agree 100%. This issue and another big Wi-Fi issue are the bane of my existence on WP7. Anyone have trouble connecting to different Wi-Fi networks? This is by far the biggest nuisance I deal with. What I mean by this is, for example: I am at work all day connected to the office Wi-Fi. I come home and my Quantum refuses to connect to my home network. It tries to connect for about 15 seconds or so, then eventually gives up. The only way to get it behaving properly is to reboot the phone. Turning Wi-Fi off then back on, disassociating with all remembered networks, etc. all do nothing. Don't know if this is unique to me because there is just something specific about the networks I am connecting to that creates "The Perfect Storm" and throws the Wi-Fi off, or if this is a widespread problem. Either way, I can't wait until it is resolved.

I don't get this issue at all mate, i pretty much do the same - connect to a network at work, then go home, it automatically connects fine for me at either location. I also connect to Wifi networks at my parents and GF's mum's and it connects flawlessly to either one without any hassle.
Though i must admit, the ability to keep wireless on even when the phone goes to sleep is a must! It will however stay on if you plug the phone into its charger, though not always convenient.

I don't get this issue either except on my nook and I think my wireless router @ that location is the issue (pretty sure of it). The WPA only a select few ip addresses on certain mac addresses for some reason so if the address is taken by another device it doesn't connect I thought my router was smart guess I was wrong but once I forget the network and then reapply the security settings it connects, I have no problem with my other router.

After purchasing an Acer Iconia a500 , I realized that it isnt just WP7 users who whine and complain about the latest upgrades , its tech wide ! I mean some of the gripes you have are laudible ,but in the long run 6.5 is done , so if you long for that experience it wont last , sure theres still some people using Windows 98 , XP , but at some point it becomes so outdated it becomes useless, you will find wm 6.5 fits this category , sometimes you have to go back to go forward and that is the case with WP7 !
Trust me the "copy paste" function is useless , I havent even used it yet (or missed not having it) , As I said I have a tablet with Honeycomb on it , its really irratating hearing all the babies crying about updates , the damn OS has been out for a month and these crybabies are whining "it doesnt do this ,it doesnt do that" , the thing is like most devices that are new it will not have certain things right off the bat , yes the device can be rooted a plus , but somethings cant be changed yet , just like the missing api's wp7 , that stuff will come , theres so many talented people in XDA , JUST RELAX AND ENJOY THE RIDE!,

" OFFICE HUB"

microsoft word is such a pain to use that formatting within the document is impossible!!
there is no way to save formatting. so If I need to write everything in red. I have to hit format every single time and then select an option. that along with the keyboard taking up the entire length of the document.
BLEH!
adobe reader is the slowest pdf viewer ive ever used!!! and i remember using an 8125 and reading pdfs on it..
The wifi issues are a pain!! they are so the carrier can force us to use there data plan. I want to use WIFI why did i buy the phone with wifi capabilities if it wont even stay on!!
The contacts are again a pain to search through.
there is no way to delete lines within a conversation..
Or Deleting multiple text messages.
Microsoft is really falling short on this one.

this has to do with Microsoft developing a poor operating software for my 499.99$ phone. This is a rant about the missing features that are obvious to a smart phone and you are saying relaxing dont worry.. this is what i purchased the phone for and it is severely lacking in a lot of areas.

If you were missinformed of what WP7 was and could do at the time of your purchase, its your own fault... grab your 499.99$ and take it back, problem solved.

I find it pretty funny people moaning about the lack of features WP7 has and how great Android and IOS are.
I had Android from the very start when hardly anyone knew what it was and i had that brick of a phone (although i quite liked it lol) called the G1.
Android was released on 1.0 software however i thought it was a practical joke no lie the battery would last 5 hours if you was lucky and the phone would heat up like a microwave oven besides the various other bugs etc including freezing up completely. It took Google 5 updates until we got the first named update "Cupcake" 1.5 before android was even half usable and had copy & paste etc. And to be honest it should of started on 1.5 so my G1 only got 1 decent update to 1.6.
Its the same with all the other android phones i have had the SE X10 did go from 1.6 to 2.3 only because legions of p*ssed off people including myself moaned at sony like there was no tomorrow when they said it would only get 2.1 (i think).
Etc Etc the point it Android is way too fragmented and buying a Android phone is like entering a lottery with regards to updates and added features etc.
Same with Apple it took them at least a year to add even copy & paste not too mention all the other stuff that was missing like MMS & Adobe Flash (ah yeah still ain't got that one).
Microsoft have given us a much better OS than both Google or Apple right off the bat and the amount of added features Mango is bringing is pretty amazing adding more stuff than 1 or 2 major android updates and even getting so things in the first year of WP7 that iPhone hasn't got after 5 years.

Hyundai A7HD ICS (cheap chinese tablet)

Hyundai A7HD ICS tablet (A10)
Greetings...
I got this slate for a small bucks, and i would like to make it usable as much as it can be. Since i can't download a lot of apps from google play (which came preinstalled), im sure it has something with build.prop file.
I have attached my original build.prop file so maybe someone can help me. I tried to change manufacturer and model only (to Samsung, GT-P6210) but id didn't solve problems.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
I ordered this tablet week ago, so I`m also interested in this subject.
What exactly is the problem? You cant download any app because of the region code ? How exactly does this problem occur ?
About that build.prop - I`m not an expert , I own sgs i9000 (previously zte blade) and I see that indeed there are many lines that point to the Asia region for this tablet - maybe this is the problem? Still, explain how exactly does this problem occur ? What messages does the system give to you.
Thank you,

Does anyone know is it possible to put another battery (replace the current one) with more capacitive one?

Firmware + Root - A7HD
Hi,
First, Can you teach me how to flash a new firmware ?
I used LiveSuit 1.07, but no luck. My device keeps showing an image of a fallen Android" with a red warning triangle.
Btw, the combination that I used was hold "Esc" and power it on. Instruction from here: http://www.flashmyandroid.com/forum/showthread.php?730-ROM-Hyundai-A7-HD-Firmware-ICS-4-03-20120420/
Second, may I how did you root your A7HD ?

Yes, it is a common issue, maybe due to design, they put in a smaller wifi adapter, hence, maybe weaker than usual (even than common mobile phones)

Hello
I got the Hyundai tablet last weekend and I am realy happy with it.
The only thing I wish is WiFi to be better. It seems it is realy week. 2 meters from the router and WiFi indicates less than half.
If I try from another room behind a wall - no connection
On my mobile I connect even from the street.
Have you heart of some incoming upgrade to fix that?
Thanks
Tzvetan

The poor quality WiFi is the only thing that is holding me back from buying one.
Signal strength is not that good in my home and I am afraid that this device may not work at all in some rooms.
I wonder if Hyundai is interested in producing ongoing updates in dealing with this and any other possible issues. So many of these Chinese manufacturers have a take it or leave it approach.

Well, I cannot get WiFi behind the wall in another room
It is only working in the room, where the router is.
I do not know if this is a general weakness for this model Hyundai tablet, or it is only mine. I would like to know that, so I could ask for a replacement with another.
Are there others with the same problem?

Just want to let you know,...

...that my time with HTC One SV is running out.
But lets start from beginning!
I'm very sad to tell you, that my device has an error. Something i can not reproduce, its happening randomly, from time to time and that makes it hard to solve.
The phone is shutting down, from one moment to the next. Without any logical reason, and without i get noticed of it. That means, until i see that my phone is off, nobody can call me. And thats the reason, why i can't longer use this phone anymore.
Missing calls or connectivity is a no go for me!
Of course i have sent in the phone for warranty/repair, but without luck. Every time i've got it back, it was ok some time, but always this error came back.
What i know is, it is related to GSM network. Its happening, when the phone is trying to connect to mobile internet. But like i said, not always, only sometimes.
Without Sim-Card, all is fine (changing Sim-Card to a new one did not solve it). While plugged in for charging, also all is fine.
This situation was also the reason, why i stopped almost all of my development activities with this device! I had to make it sure, that its not coming from buggy mods
So now i came to the point, where i had to make a decision. And the answer is: HTC One (M8) :laugh:
Yes, i've bought it. And it is great. And i love it. Yes, Kitkat and Sense 6
It feels so good to hold this alu-unibody phone (i know, its "only" a phone, but its simply fantastic). It feels like One SV was the step i needed on the way to a 5" phone.
Back to HTC One SV:
I'm not sure, maybe i'll try another time the repair service, but i always have to pay the cost of the delivery. Maybe i'll sell it as defect. Maybe i'll keep it as "Wifi-Surf-Machine", lol. Don't know yet.
But that means, my phone is back to stock, completely "Locked". No TWRP, no root, nothing.
That also means, no development or testing or anything like that from my side for this phone anymore.
Sorry, this was not planned, but the situation was not longer bearable!
Well, i will try to look into this forum here and keep my threads up to date, but i also will not promise anything (i can't look what happens in the future).
You still can contact me, if you see something in my threads that needs to be updated or if you want something added to my index thread.
All in all i think it will be a long slow goodbye! :crying:
At least, i wanna thank all people here, for the funny time i had and for the good things i've learned!
Special thanks i want to bring up to @Modding.MyMind @russellvone @xpirt @rollon76 @BrateloSlava (and all i forgot, can't mention all), who helped me to bring this device going up and growing better from day to day!
Thanks guys! :good:

Thanks a lot for your great work on this device and bringing up this forum!
Just one last question! Is your car holder compatible with the M8!?

Thank you for you help and for everything that you do for us ! Enjoy your new device I will leave the phone soon too ...

I may be joining you @old.splatterhand. Battery on my device is becoming unstable and I am not in the mood to deal with repairs. Can't afford to be without a phone for a week or so. My line of work won't allow it lol.

#M8
This saddens me. However the M8 is on my radar anyway. ?

Glad to had you here. You have begun this xda forum and put a lot of work. Thank you for your support here and have fun with All New One.

I got my LG G2 since few days . My friends just made me a gift for my bday . Sorry but i am leaving the phone too ...

Thanks
Thank you soooo much for responding to all our questions, Especially mine
You are another reason for me to buy a M8

Thanks so much for help, for ROMs and any other things you've done for our One SV

Regarding unstable phone... Try to clean gold connectors on battery and phone. I had similar situation. Phone 10months old just started to shut down. I press power to turn on screen and htc sign - turning phone on...it was off. Random, once-twice a day. I think also network coul be problem... So I did twrp restore and clean those connectors because i read somewhere that it can be oxidized and need to be schrached a bit. Since then phone is ok. Maybe weak signal + some apps load phone to give more energy and oxydation on conectors cause instability... I didnt do any big mods. Stock one sv lte 4.2.2 root supersu, twrp, rumrunner s off. Just deleted some bloat. In time of restarts i started using app superbeam, but restarts happened random. Also instaled call recorder, but didt use it. Thats it. I have now super beam and works ok. Didnt try call recorder again, dont need it.

Interesting find!
What did you use to clean? Can you make a picture of yours?
Actually my wife is using the One SV as her main phone. Without a problem!
But she has no mobile internet in her provider contract, so it is disabled all the time. And for me it crashed always when it was connecting to mobile internet.
The idea about the "higher energy load could cause instability" was also in my mind, but i had no idea how to resolve it.
I think i will take a look at this :good:

I used small knife, pocket knife..didnt press hard. I read that affects some htc phones, sensation i belive.. when it happened i was in forest, weak signal...

Report back if that helps...i dont know is that solution or twrp restore solved things...i did everything i could think off so dont know what solved problem..

I will try as soon as the problem comes again.
Right now i don't want to wake sleeping dogs...

There is nothing strange you do. Just pull battery out an clean...
Now my phone works ok 2 months without turning off.. fingers crossed..

@old.splatterhand
I'm sorry sir I've just now noticed this....The m8 is great, I bought two early this year.
The M9 (HIMA) I will buy as soon as it's released
See you around my friend

Hi Russel, nice to talk to you again
Sometimes i have seen your posts in M8 forum or in Sunshine thread, always great to see "old" folks again :highfive:
Yeah, i have the M8 since early May now and its great. Nothing to worry about, for me!
That also could be the reason, that i maybe skip the M9. My M8 is just great :good:
And honestly: i'm in hope that HTC releases a tablet with Sense, similar size like Nexus 9 and with Snapdragon CPU...

I think its amazing to see your dedication to the sv forum..
All the work, time, effort and time you have put into this..
Its simply amazing..respect!!
Did the error also contain inernet browser shutting of randomly?
I have never had any issue with my sv..
I did not do much to it, dont know much about all the how to's, why not's, but have shyed away from the stuff i thought to be too risky for me (well for my sv).
In the mean while i bought a m7 and tried a bit of the risky stuff, wich made me smile and think back to my sv..
Yesterday i did s-off my sv for the first time and wanted to remove red warning, wich, in the end resulted in my sv not booting up into rom any longer.. will look into that to solve that, but...
Before i did this, i wanted to change my boot animation, turned on 'show gif' in internet browser and immediately i experienced random shut down's of internet browser.
Maybe you forgot about the sv, maybe you still think back once in a while, maybe this info is of any use, maybe not...
Thanks
