I must admit, I'd given up looking for, and any hope of ever getting another P8 update - it was on GRA_L09C432B398. But, turned it on this morning to see it demanding a restart after having automatically downloaded and installed an OTA update to GRA_L09C432B520. Rebooted and following an...

A little story: When I bought my Huawei mobile, people smiled when I added a protective hard glass screen. Three days later, whilst reaching for something from a shelf, I knocked a pair of wire-cutters down. They fell, points down, hit the screen about 10mm in from the edge and the glass...

Chrome Beta seems to be much better for me, especially on Flea-Bay. With standard Chrome, that site is nearly impossible to use due to the severe lag when scrolling.

I have the Huawei (gastly) brown case and have not had this issue. However, I also have another no name brand from Amazon and did suffer the problem with that one.

Sorry, this is a bit late, but try the following URL for the Venue 8 7840: http://www.myfixguide.com/manual/dell-venue-8-7000-7840-teardown/

With Android 6 Beta, the originals are here: device/system/themes/ Your own, downloaded themes go into: /storage/<sd-card name>/HWThemes/

This might be of interest to other Dell Venue 8 7840 owners/users. Dell has a two port dongle that allows connection of both data transfer (e.g. flash stick with standard USB connector) and a charging cable (micro-USB) at the same time. Dell product code is: 470-ABES. The cost from a UK trade...

Having (successfully) gone through the anxious moments of removing root, downgrading, then restoring 5.1 to install the Stagefright fix, I would recommend that you seriously reconsider whether or not you absolutely need root. It's highly likely that any future patches, or even a possible...

To 'toxic_garden': Many thanks for your suggestions. I finally managed to get the 'Venue 8 7840' back to Android 5.1 and then successfully installed the Stagefright patch, downloaded over-the-air. However, there were enough missing details in the various contributor's instructions to cause me...

To Sabiza: Confirmed. My RAM went from 1.7/1/8GB free down to 1.2/1.3GB. I have not yet done a full reset, but don't expect it to improve. To fpippo1999: Downgrade seems difficult, but aGerman forum talks about a possibility via fastboot - I've not yet tried. There is no 'local upgrade'...

In response to Jacqlittle's message: Interesting that you saw a "local upgrade" option. With my P8 on B313, that option isn't available. The only options I have under Settings | Update are: 'Download latest full package', 'Update settings', and 'System Information'. Trying the three button...

Can some kind person please give me some pointers in how to unroot my Venue 8 7840 tablet, so that I can install the current OTA patch issued by Dell - the fix for Stagefright and other security issues. The Venue is currently rooted with 5.1 installed, that was completed by tethering, Intel...

Thanks for that - didn't realise anything else was needed. Fortunately, or unfortunately as the case may be, I managed to return mine for a refund. Somebody else told me operability depends upon the revision of 750-AAHC that you get, but I had no way to verify this. I think my packaging said...

However, if you purchase the 750-AAHC, do make sure that you can return it for a refund. The 750-AAHC would not work or respond at all with my Dell Venue 8 7840 tablet. Works with a bog-standard capacitive stylus.

A pleasure to take it off your hands, Brian - even if I did have to practically rip it from your fingers!! :D - and a pleasure to meet you today! The tablet is joining my stable of computing products and will have a long working life ahead of itself. Thanks, XDA! Astage

You might try the Panasonic SDFormatter program. It has recovered some of my cards where operating system or 3rd-party utilities made them unreadable. URL: http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/sd_formatter.html

Sounds like your battery is failing. You don't say what charge is indicated when it turns off, but if you look through the forum you'll find others have had this at 60 or even 80% of charge remaining. This charge level also seems based upon average consumption, so turn up the wick - by...

Perhaps it's me being dumb, but I couldn't locate a download link on the site.

Thanks Marc. However, I'm not sure which problem you're talking about being fixed - the experienced memory leak with the older version, or the inability to install problem with the latest.

Just a heads up to others: For some time now, I've been bothered by a memory leak, so severe that a soft-reboot was necessary at least every three days - otherwise even running a new applet would cause the XDA Exec to freeze at about 5MB left. Despite removing all my major applications, nothing...

Happens if the stored conditions are old. Check the last refresh time/date - shown at the bottom of the refresh menu, then choose Refresh | All.

Be careful if buying one with a double USB output - I bought a few different models hoping to power both Exec and the Holux GPSlim-236, but all failed. They would power the Exec, but as soon as the Holux was connected, it would always cause the Exec to continually reboot - fortunately "soft"...

Thanks for the offer, but I already have a more ideal holder - the Honda s2000 is a difficult car to find bits off-the-shelf for. The double USB cable charger proved a non-starter, different wiring for the GPSlim 236 and Universal, so I used two different chargers hardwired under the dash so...

I also have the Holux GPSlim 236 and thought it would be ideal to use a car-charger with double USB output to power that and the XDA Exec. Unfortunately, I've tried three different models so far, but a total failure. The charger powers either unit on its own, but attach the Exec then the...

I've had very mixed results with twelve different models of aftermarket car and mains chargers for the Exec. The models that list their output at about 550mA seem to exhibit the troubles you mention - you need to switch on the Exec after the charger is working and even then with a high drain...

Some USB ports may also be designed to supply power (or a bit more umph!) to external devices. For example, one of my laptops has two USB ports; a normal one and one with a "plus" symbol designed for powering devices like floppy, or USB hard disc drives.

The remote wipe is done from the sbs2k3 box - or rather the box running Exchange2k3Sp2. Your admin needs to install a small tool that he (Domain Administrator credentials needed) then accesses via IE. Microsoft has published a new white paper (Feb 2006) that describes the whole procedure -...

80072f0d error - the fix! :oops: :oops: :oops: Just spent the past hour kicking and calling myself an £$%&* idiot.:x Anyway, to cut the story short, the problem *is* indeed the damn format of the SSL certificate exported by sbs2k3. For the WM5 device to import it, it needs to be in DER...

Re: 80072f0d I'm not sure if it was clear from my reply - too tired - but rebuilding the server did not help at all. Yeh, the pains of rebuilding SBS and having it all configured and running correctly when the staff arrive in the morning is not something I do willingly - hence the use of the...

I don't have a solution, but the problem is described in M$ knowledgebase article: 915438 - see attached Acrobat .PDF. I had already tried the suggestion in KB915840 to import the certificate from my sbs2k3-domain, but this had failed with "cannot access the certificate" - even with them on the...

dotNet v.2 missing Another thing that appears to be missng form o2 this ROM update is version 2 of dotNET. It still has v.1.1. in ROM, so the only option is the seven-MegaByte hit of installing v.2 into program memory. Does anyone know if any other other manufacturer's ROMs have dotNet v.2...

The HP Jornada 928 had such a sensor to control the backlighting, and I found it invaluable - especially in an open top sports car. However, a manager for their UK support centre told me that they got so many complaints about it (or user problems with it) that they removed it from later/Compaq...

An example of what not to do when you drop your pride and joy into water. :!: One of my customers got his phone wet recently - dropped it into a deep puddle in getting out of his car. The £$%* idiot decided to dry it by putting it in the microwave oven for five minutes, set to full power -...

Also have my own and a client's Jabra 500 working successfully with o2 Xda Execs. Stupid question I know, but you have tried increasing the volume on the headset buttons?

Previous version works on Universal, but you can't see all the screen in landscape mode. Since I use it once-in-a-blue-moon, I'm not worried by switching to portrait mode. But the loss of 5MB of main storage makes the latest version with .NET v.2 a non-starter!

I hope you're lucky and it worked for you! Might be worth checking the \Windows folder, however, as that's where I found all the .Net v.2 stuff dumped. The .Net v.1.x stuff is in ROM, so I'm hoping that a future ROM update will have v.2 in ROM.

So did mine, but the folder was empty :?

Are you sure it's actually on the SD card? I tried telling it to install to SD-card three times (uninstalled between each attempt) and practically nothing went onto the SD card - it just created an empty folder there. :roll: Took out over 5-MegaByte of main memory though and didn't recover all...

Providing your old PDA is still available, you really need a backup program that you can run on both PDAs. For example, something like Sunnysoft's Backup Manager - even a time-limited trial edition may be sufficient. Select and back up the required files/data to SD-card on the old PDA, then...

You can install it to SD-card and it will work fine. However, it will put a couple of smallish library files in main memory, and they should stay there, otherwise you may have problems with the Today screen when the Universal is turned on - since the SD-card will be powered down and take a...

Re: Radio 1.06.00 Upgrade - borged It's looking for a serial (not available on Universal) or USB connection, so you'll need to connect to "ActiveStink" via USB cable. The "Serial" will normally change to "USB" when you plug USB in. Unfortunately, I've never tried it with an *un-partnered*...

I really don't want to inflame things further, however, don't all search engines depend upon the keywords they're asked to search on? I believe mind reading search engines have yet to be invented! :wink: P.S: Not a "'clever' twxt", just one of those mutually trying to help each other maximize...

One point to note about the o2 supplied themes, is that they don't work in true VGA (OzVGA) mode.

Surely the maps should be in country specific folders on the SD-card. E.g.: \Storage Card\Benelux-Map \Storage Card\Deutschland-Map \Storage Card\France-Map \Storage Card\Great_Britain_Plus-Map etc,.. This is how they were created by the TT install.

I've been using radio: 1.06.00 since Tuesday or Wednesday without problems. Hasn't fixed nor broken anything as far as I can see. Radio 1.06.00 was issued as part of the recent German MDA update.

Don't know about this particular one, but my Holux GPSlim236 charger will charge the Exec/Universal, but only if the device is switched off or not running much. If you turn on BlueTooth & WiFi the drain is too much for the Holux charger and the Universal's charging light goes out.

Re: Alot of useless stuff in \Windows directory.. I freed up Thanks for that info. However, keeping the AppMgr folder may not be useful for uninstalling if you are in the habit of restoring your device from a backup - as I do. Installations appear to use unique IDs that are not recreated when...

Re: Alot of useless stuff in \Windows directory.. I freed up Not sure, but isn't the AppMgr folder used for the Remove Programs function?

BTcrawler didn't find BT headset Thanks for the utility. Not sure if it's intended, but I couldn't get it to find my Jabra BT500 headset - yes, it was correctly paired, or is that the reason for it not being discovered? It did, however, correctly find my Holux GPSlim236 GPS receiver. The...

Not free, but the software I use for capturing screens for user manuals is that included with Resco's Picture Viewer. Handles Universal's screen in both orientations and even OzVGA.
