This phone has become a problem because one after another, things have stopped working on it. It's currently at the latest android release from AT&T 6.0, with the stock firmware. I did a factory reset this morning just to verify that it wasn't some of the things I have disabled, and it didn't change the way it worked (the auto brightness doesn't work at all anymore), and I'm having more and more problems with apps like the Geeni camera app that just don't work any more.
My question is, is there any upgrade path to a newer (10 or 11) version of android that might help me out? I'm basically ready to replace the device, but I've put a display on it recently and it's in otherwise good shape.
I'd like to know as well.
My wife's phone has been having issues with apps, camera lag, and browser slowing down, over heating etc. Android 6.0 maybe too old to run some apps, and probably more load on web browsing is causing the issues, but the specs are still on par, imho, with other phones that came years later in the game - 4G of ram and a great camera, good device storage for app loads. Hard to let go.

Hello,
I am experiencing some annoying stability issue with my device. From time to time (manilla.exe and/or cprog.exe) just crash. It maybe happened 3-5 time within the last 2 month, but it is still very annoying as I missed call...
I am also using from time to time MSN messenger, which seems to be weird on my device. First it duplicated all my contact in messenger (I was able to fix this by removing my live account and setting it up again). And, sometime message arrives in the wrong window (messages from person A are coming in the conversation I am having with person B).
One day I even found my device with some black-white artifact on the screen, the only way to get rid of this was to reset my phone.
I am using the official HTC rom with only a few app installed (resco, tomtom, coreplayer, answerkeydisabler, ...).
I am now seriously concerned about the health of my phone. My previous devices (tytn, tytn II) were a lot more stable for my everyday use. Is this is "normal" or is my device faulty?
Thank you
I went through two and both had issues. The first was far worse than the second, but even the second was lacking stability (HTC Fuze version primarily using AT&T ROM, but even the custom ROMs I tried weren't completely stable).
My stock Sprint ROM TP is very stable, even with a LOAD of stuff that I have put on it. Of course as a lot of stuff is still in development, I'll have stability issues with certain apps, but once I remove them it's back to great stability.
When I just had a few things on it, it was rock stable. Maybe it's one of your apps even though they are few?
hello guys..
i bought a htc raphael on ebay for 175 euros... its got an xda brand from O2
i descided for the raphael cause its said to run android with xdandroid...
is it capable of running android 2.1?
and what features of the phone aren't supported yet?
It works...but
My experience with Android thus far on the Raphael (My US AT&T Fuze branded) is that it runs, and can make/receive phone calls, and use the internet just fine. However, text messaging has never worked for me, neither on 1.6 or 2.0.1 (the latest I have found to install)
If you're interested, it's definitely a cool toy to play with, but not something you'll be able to run full time. 2.0.1 often flakes out on me and fails to respond after a few minutes. Both 1.6 and 2.0.1 are very taxing on the Raphael, and go through the battery quickly and make it nice and warm.
http://connect-utb.com/index.php?option=com_rokdownloads&view=folder&Itemid=68&id=2:android-port has good packages that are built around HTC devices. Click through to Android Packages for 2.0.1, or scroll down to HTC Raphael (Old) for the more stabile but less fun 1.6 release.
If you have any questions, let us know. What's the HTC/Android outlook in Europe right now? I'd consider buying one next time I'm there but too many €'s for me to buy out of contract with my weak dollars.
Happy androiding!
I've been playing with 2.01 for a few days - no bluetooth, gps or camera...and it takes a lot of battery.
There is still a lot of work before we get a stable build, but you can try out the latest version.
I've Been using [ROM][30JAN10]Gen.Y PX-TP R0 with XDANDROID (Standard|Core), Its been great for me, the only problem is turning wifi off sometimes freezes and at times the d-pad doesn't work when loaded, but a simple reboot does the trick. My battery lasts for about 8hrs with wifi off so I must be lucky!
If you don't need Bluetooth/GPS/camera it's usable as an everyday device. You can expect 8-12 hours of battery with occasional use.
It will freeze every now and then and you'll have to reboot.
The battery acts very odd, android does not read it correctly, so your % will jump around a lot.
It's usable, but as you saw some people have some problems. Just make sure you read the first two pages of directions and do everything correctly and you shouldn't have too many problems.
Just for clarification: are you guys running Android as the only OS, or using the "boot off the SD card" method?
The links I provided are for builds you can run off the SD card, but which have to be booted using the "haret" utility from within WM.
This would be to run an Android OS rather than Windows, right? It's a full OS and not just an app which emulates Android? I think I read elsewhere that dual-booting is possible, so this wouldn't delete Windows and the issues you guys mention could be overcome by booting into Windows when necessary, right? Does it matter which ROM I'm using now before using this?
Thanks.
Struff: When I run the "Haret" bootloader, WM gets shut down and then a bit of linux code gets android running. It's not really "dual boot" as you would think of it, though. The bootloader is run from within Windows Mobile and then once it does its thing, the only OS running is android.
You must first boot WM, then get the bootloader, then android will be running. At that point, a quick soft reset (after telling android to shut down) means WM will start back up.
Clear as mud.
Recently purchased and have been liking the tablet besides it's internet performance. I immedietly updated the tablet to lollipop out of the box so I was not able to test it's network on kitkat.
Since using the tablet I've noticed a variety of issues:
1. Opening webpages in chrome is substantially slower than on my phone (htc one m8 running fairly stock sense rom), with longer load times and occasional hangs on page loads that require a refresh to complete.
2. When using either reddit is fun golden or reddit news pro, subreddits take longer to load than on the M8 as well.
3. Slow Google play downloads. I'm not sure if this is just a Play store being slow or truly an issue with my device. Occasionally if i have multiple downloads or updates qeued it will finish one and just sit on trying to start the next one without actually doing it.
I have been having these issues on two different home networks with different routers, different ISPs, and different cities. Interestingly though, when running the Speed Test app, the tablet does better than the M8 and comes back testing perfectly fine.
Any suggestions as to what i can do to get to the bottom of this? Any diagnostic test I can do? Any setting? Has anyone else been having these issues and is this just an issue with the lollipop update?
Thank you in advance!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think any OTA update is a "dirty flash". I also was having many issues that included complete freezing up of the tablet. You having updated out of the box could be different (I had a bunch of apps installed when I updated), but I think most of my issues were solved with a factory reset. ??
I'm sure its a software issue as at school I get 40mb which is alot than my nexus 7, 10mb
I was having some issues with my Galaxy s6, so I figured if they stopped supporting my phone, I might as well get a new OS on it myself.
I rooted and installed 9.0

At first I tried to install previous versions of Lineage, but kept having issues with registering through google, but this one worked pretty easily. I am now using Nova launcher.
The issues I have with it are:
Slower GPS location, like much slower. I am now traveling in Toronto, and it's ridiculously slow to find where I am compared when i was in NYC. I'll continue testing though, maybe it was just a temporary bug
Battery drain seems faster. I was hoping to get an improvement on this issue.
I get no notifications when I get messages through "google voice' I have to open the app to look at it
There is no number in a red circle next to the app to tell me number of messages for it
Substratum not working, keep getting "could not fall back to rooted mode" although according to root checker, I'm rooted. I have no experience with this app, but it seems like it's worth checking it out lol
I think there may be more 'issues' but those are the main ones right now.
I use the latest OFFICIAL LineageOS 14.1, these works fine for me.
deleted. need to check more things for now. Sorry
Android 10 issues
Ever since i updated my A7 to Android 10 i'm having issues with it. First thing noticed is that internet speed decreased. Second is that i'm unable to connect to wifi with hidden SSID. Furthermore apps - and the phone itself - seem to be working significantly slower comparing to previous Android version. There is NO illegal software on the phone and it is regularly updated to the latest app releases and everything worked just fine & fast until the Android 10 update was done.
As i'm reading, same thing happened to users of other manufacturers phones after Android 10 update (for example Huawei).
Anyone else is experiencing samelike issues?
yes, everything you describe. Same here.
Im back to 9...
Does anyone having problem cannot change camera resolution?
