    Thread [Q] C6833 - Cannot flash custom ROM successfully.

    Hi folks, I'm really stuck on this, and it's probably something dumb that i'm missing. I can flash "C6833_14.1.B.1.532_NUT.ftf" with Flashtool I can root using Force ADB Shell and install SuperSU I can install Nut's Dual Recovery 2.8.26 from the Install script I can flash togari-twrp-3.0.2...

    Post [Q] Weird behaviour!

    Not an app after all. The touchscreen itself was dodgy. Now failed completely. Anyone know how I can wipe the (unrooted) device completely before I send it back? Power & vol buttons ar still working, as is the screen itself. I just can't use touch to do anything.

    Post [Q] Weird behaviour!

    The clock app wasnt the cause. Next suspect is a dodgy looking game from China that I used for testing am ipega controller. It's called Assault. Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium HD app

    Post SD Corruption in Xperia Z

    Turns out that in my case it was a fake sd card. Samsung branded in sealed Samsung packaging. Very good looking fake. Must have really been an 8gb card judging by the errors on h2testw. It didn't even occur to me that it could have been dodgy. Lesson learned :-/ Sent from my C6833 using XDA...

    Post [Q] Weird behaviour!

    Screen is spotless. It's apps that aren't even on the current screen anyway. It might be a rogue app that's causing it. I've uninstalled one and not had the issue again yet. Strange!

    Thread [Q] Weird behaviour!

    It seems as if random apps are opening when I am trying to use the XZU. Such as trying to drag the top bar down to see the notifications. And everything becomes very sluggish before the phone no longer respnds to touch. If I then turn the screen off, it won't turn back on again, and I have to...

    Post SD Corruption in Xperia Z

    Same issue here with a Z Ultra on 4.4 64 Gig card. Copying data failed. Device manager on Win7 reported unknown device after replugging the USB cable. Phone would not shutdown, had to use the reset button yet again. SD Card completely unreadable, although undelete software on win could still...

    Post Replacement for HTC Kaiser?

    Both look good. Depends on whether he can live without QWERTY though. Android isn't an option unless there's a WinMo emulator about. Thanks!

    Thread Replacement for HTC Kaiser?

    Apologies for posting this in here. There doesn't seem to be a General WinMob devices area unless i'm a total spaz. I'm looking for a Win Mob device to replace a Kaiser. Preferably faster CPU, but needs to have an accurate stylus, so a resistive touchscreen rather than capacitive. I have a...

    Post Do you still use WM? If so why?

    Well that's me weaned off WM6x, almost. :-( I have the Galaxy Note now to replace my Athena. Big screen and small stylus so it's good for RDP/VNC and e-books. Not too keen on the lack of friction compared to using a resistive screen and stylus though, so i'm like bambi on ice with it atm...

    Thread Tip: Padded case for note (+ ext batt?)

    Hi Folks, I just got a Note and am still deciding what case to get for it. In the meantime, i'm using one of my old PSP-1000 slip-in covers. Should work fine with extended battery backs too by the looks of it.

    Post Do you still use WM? If so why?

    I've just gone back to my Athena and given my Desire-Z to the wife after a few months of exploring the crApps that Android has to offer. It's a nice enough system if you are just one of the masses that just wants to spend your entire life on Twitter or FB or play games designed for the under...

    Hi folks, I've had an HTC Desire-Z / Vision for a few months now and i mostly hate it, and the Android apps, so i'm giving it to the wife and going back to my HTC Athena for now. The worst of it seems to be that everything these days involves poking sausage fingers onto a shiny screen which has...

    Thread Unlocking/Flashing in Windows

    Hi folks, I just thought i'd post a success story for a change: I Unlocked, SuperCIDed, and flashed a Tornado ROM using XPMode in Win 7. The main thing to remember to do is to re-attach the device using the USB menu every time the phone changes from using an ActiveSync connection to the...

    Post x7500 MicroDrive vanished

    No, i don't have that. I looked through all the posts too but couldn't see anything relevant. I'm presuming it is just some security setting/glitch as it disappeared when the wrong PIN was entered. I'm hoping it might re-appear when i get back home and reconnect it to the server/domain. Really...

    Hi Folks, My 7500 is running the AP Redux ROM. I went to enter my pin to unlock the device and was greeted with the message that the device would be wiped if i got it wrong after the first attempt (weird!). So i was putting in my pin when the car braked and, wrong pin, dev wiped. :-/ After...

    I've since found a Samsung WEP870 while trolling round the mobile phone shops at the shopping mall. I'm not really an audiophile but these things are a brilliant invention.

    Hi folks, I'm looking for a comfy headset (or two) for a TyTn II & Athena 100. I love the remote here: http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b150195.jpg ...but hate these type of ear pieces. Is there anything similar with a headset or that will allow a PC (stereo) headset to be used? Cheers!
