XDA Alternatives? - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

I notice here that a few people have different devices. Such as the Orange SPV or P800 etc.
So simply put, what other device would people recommend please?
I hve stopped using my XDA as my main mobile phone, gone back to my trusty Nokia 6310i. 1 year old, never crashes and the battery lasts very well. My XDA crashes, loses connection in the middle of calls. text messages come out garbled on other peoples phones sometimes. I could go on.
What device should I get next. Looking to buy in August, when contract is up. So can wait a little longer. The Siemens SX1 looks different...

this the price of this phone in uk orange stores, for a pay as you go device. then unlocking it cost around 10 pound at unlockallcellulars.for this price you ve got the snapdragon cpu, a very nice lcd display(colors are better than the ones in htc hd2) and the usb host function. Come one guys!
btw, even if this phone cant phone proprely, a fix should come, and it is still a good gps , and media player.
That's if you can find one instore as they sold out of these phones on the Orange website 2 Weeks ago.
Stock instores has been running low aswell, there were only 3 left when I got mine from the orange shop in torquay. Just offering it on contract now afaik
so, the price in UK is 150 pounds (that means arround 180 euros)? i have a friend over there, maybe i can buy another one for my cousin.
i wanted to get one too, but im reading about those flashing rom issues, sounds diffcult, anyone know is there any stock near manchester? the price is really unbeatable 150 pounds thats like 1/3 of some other competitors headset

There were a few in Leeds near the Merrion shopping centre
got one
i got one yesterday in solihull birmingham they had 2 left instore i guess i was lucky when i say the price i asked not questions i just scooped up one a 1ghz cpu £150 you gotta be crazy if you dont get one.
These were available in Leamington Orange shop last week. I got one from Orange website a few weeks ago, but went into the shop to get one for my girlfriend. Thye are not perfect but still good value considering their usefullness for email, skype, messenger & media player. The main drawbacks I have are:
It's crap as phone: difficult to hear, screen locks annoyingly when you want to use touchpad, when the phone is locked and you get a call, it is impossible to answer. You have to wait till it rings out, unlock the phone then ring them back.
The motion sensor is not v responsive. I dont mind waiting half a second when switching from portrait to landscape, but sometimes it just refuses to switch.
No rdp client. I owuld like this for work, there was one on my PPC2003 devce all those yrs ago. I downloaded the finster rdp client and it doesn't work for me (yes I have installed it to the device rather than the memory card).
You can't get the Micro SD card out without removing the battery (and thereby switching it off)

Is my phone alive????
I went to my bed today and i had £2.50 of credit on my phone, i woke up and i had a message from orange saying that i only had 90p of credit, please top up I am wondering what my phone was doing when i was asleep, i live by myself so i cant blame anyone else, whats going on. This is the umpteen time this has happened.
The only thing i can think of is that it is doing updates without permission, during peak times, if this is the case what can i do to stop this? Any help would be appreciated.

Call your provider and chek if you don't hav any inscription in some service.
It's easy to pud some one in some service without if he know.
In internet is just enter in one site for ex: music then pud in iscription the phone number of someone you hate and that is't.
Now hi has a some service without he know and they pick money every day. Somethink like 10p,20p or 30p every /f/ day.
All my credit was actually gone, so since i have had the phone, start of january, i have seen £4, £1.50 and £2.50 disappear from my original £10 credit. Basically i only use my phone for text messaging and using hotmail. I havent even looked at anything like music, radio etc, never mind subscribing to anything.
On the same day i lost the £2.50 i did instal the gchris 1.2.1 cab, excellent app but could the weather update have cost me the money? Or does the phone actually do updates whenever it wants, ie at peak times without asking
I did a bit of searching and installed nodata.cab and switched of orange intranet but kept orange sms/mms on.
Sorry if i am coming accross as a moaning twat here but this was my last phone, a samsung c300, if it said i had £5 of credit, i could go to sleep and wake up and still have £5 of credit.
Disable the `Orange Internet`, go to Settings > Connections > Connections > Advanced tap > Select Networks > Network Management page > use `My Work Network ` on both selections, you should be okay now.
It`s the weather update that cost you so much money.
Don`t use `Orange Internet` or you have to pay for it, use `Active Sync` to update your weather on PC instead.
If you want to use Orange Internet make sure you configure the program to use `Free connection` to update your programs.

The orange store in stevenage has a few of these left, and yesterday they had reduced the phone to £129 PAYG so an even bigger bargain.
Bargain!
I was lucky enough to get the last one of these in stock in Grimsby yesterday for 129.99+10.00 top-up. At least I assume it was the last one, they removed all the 'POS (point of sale)' as I left.
It is better than (most) of the reviews had led me to believe, a bit clunky in places, but at that price a bargain for sure.

Some smart guys some time ago bought about 10-15 models and after orange discontiued selling they sold it on ebay

[Q] Which HD2 to buy (UK)?

OK so I'm getting bored of my X10i as there is pretty much nothing you can do with it and I'm probaby going to go back to a winmo based phone.
I've had many x1s and loved that phone however I want something new, I've also have the Touch Pro2 and while it was brilliant I found the camera rubbish and it was just too 'thick'.
I've decided to go for the HD2 (I think after the x10 I wont notice a massive size increase, except screen obviously) however I'm stuck between getting a 2nd hand one which was on T-Mobile or Orange (UK for both).
The 'physical' branding on the T-mobile handsets seam less obtrusive so I think I'll go for that. My question is does anyone see a problem in getting an (UK) T-mobile branded HD2, debranding it and flashing costume ROMS & chaning the radio? I'll be using it on Vodafone (UK).
Thanks for the help, hope to be visiting this part of the forums more over the next few months.
you should have no problems at all with either, the phones are identical. might have to pay fifteen quid to get it unlockedbut that's it.
sam is the expert so no worries on that score. But i would advise caution on buying a second hand hd2. Just make sure the phone has no issues due to heat problems.
I know quite alot of hd2's switch off when they overheat and this results in normally needing a new motherboard etc. so make sure you test the phone before you buy it.
Good luck and i am sure you will luv your new phone.
Brilliant guys, thanks for the advise. Unfortunately I can't text the phone as I'm buying from CEX (I have vouchers to use plus I'm getting aboutn £200 in vouchers for my x10).
If the worst happens I have 12 months warranty or I'll just send it to HTC to get fixed... hopefully...

Ahhh i see. in that case mate i am sure it will be fine. It really is a great phone. Perhaps you should check out an energy rom?
Enjoy the phone!
I actually used the Engery ROMS on my X1 so I think it will be good to get back to it!
Thanks again guys!
I got mine from cex and it was on o2. Get a grade a stock as this is like new. Mine had the seal on everything even the phone hadn't been used on the network.then I went to the link on the o2 websiye and they give you the unlock code for free.

Chic

Hi !
I just bought an Optimus Chic from Bell in Canada for $250 Canuck. Anyone know how to unlock this thing for free or cheap ? (Yes, I've read all over and find only commercial unlockers who I'm not sure if I can trust.)
It's my first cellphone ever, despite that I've been an embedded Linux developer for the last 14 years, and built and programmed computers with the first generation microprocessors in the mid 1970's. Big LOL ! And yes, the touch interface is much better than a 110 baud ASR-33 teletype...
But it's not just a cellphone of course; all the features at this price point can make it compelling enough that even someone as thrifty/cheap as myself buy one. I hope to own and use the Chic for at least 5 years, but who knows.
I got the Chic, instead of the Optimus One from Telus because I DO hope to use this for many years, and the 5 megapixel cam resolution and higher video frame rate will IMO make it more usable over the years.
The DLNA feature also piqued my interest. I think this will allow more interesting connection capabilities to my TV XBMC computer. Just tried a DLNA browser on Ubuntu but haven't tried a connection yet.
My purchase decision of Chic over One was made despite that the One is a bit older and much more popular, at least so far. There seems to be virtually no development here on the Chic so far, not as compared to the One. Hopefully that will change. The hardware is almost identical so I can't imagine much would need changing.
Only real problem I've noted with the Chic so far is using the FM Radio now causes some strange problems requiring battery removal. Originally this didn't happen; perhaps something to do with station it's now stuck on. So I'm running an Internet Radio app now.
Perhaps some rearrangement of Optimus forums is in order due to all the variants out now or expected soon.
Looking forward to sharing further Chic info, as well as generic Optimus info. I'm considering becoming an Android developer...
Could you please test the touchscreen ? Do you experience something like this ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLEgJWIs3qA&feature=player_embedded
If you don't experience the same thing and the touchscreen is the same, maybe we'll need some parts of your kernel.
Congratulations for your first phone !
Hi badeaioan.
What app is that ? And can you describe what exactly the issue is ?
BTW, the video is upside down.
Cheers!
I think for the unlock, you need a code for that, which the carrier provides. I do not know whether those unlockers you found has the code or not. I haven't tried unlocking phones yet since I buy mine already open
Regarding the video, he's using a touchscreen tester app, but I don't know the exact name. He's trying to show you the bugs with the Optimus One's touchscreen (not responding at times, etc)
Anyway, can you try to reproduce the problems shown in the video if you have spare time? We would like to see if the O1's brother has the issue fixed, so maybe we could do something about our phones. Thanks in advance
Here's a 20 second video I made that shows the axis inverting:

LOL, haven't even tried multi-touch on my new phone until a few minutes ago; read about it years ago (on iPhone?) though.
I tried a few touch testing apps, and I'm afraid it seems to have the problem you speak of. With two fingers moving two balls, sometimes the X co-ordinate gets swapped on the balls, but not the Y co-ordinate. Weird !
This problem isn't related to the problem for which there's a new kernel to fix in the last few days, is it ? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929941
Or that's just a 100% CPU usage bug ?
Nope. That kernel fixes only the 100% CPU usage bug. I'm contented with that, really. I just wanted to know if there was something we could do about those issues
Btw, thanks for testing it out
Optimus Chic Service Manual:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata...2_LGDP_dll.zip
I've successfully unlocked my Chic for about $17 Canadian at http://www.fonesunlock.co.uk/ . They seem to have the best Internet reviews and I got my code within 24 hours, although sending a "hurry up please" email may have helped.
Prior to spending the $17 I spent much of a day trying to find some free way online to unlock, not so much for the $ savings, but more for the experience of learning more about this phone and unlocking etc.
I believe I've found that there is indeed some way a program on a PC connected via USB can unlock this phone. But AFAICT, this software is only sold with $200 or so of hardware, and that this is bought by commercial phone unlockers.
I've also found there is software for some phones that can determine an unlock code through breaking the code encryption, and at least one such package requires a modern video card for it's calculations. I guess the code would run for many hours at least to crack the code.
Once I got the APN setup for Wind/Rogers I am able to use this phone with a Wind SIM. 2g only, but that's all I get on the Wind phone since this is with a Rogers cell site near my home; presumably some Wind sites would give me 3g.
My original plan was to go with 7/11 Speakout (Rogers) for as little as $25 per year prepaid. And $10 a month for mobile browsing would make the bill $120 per year. But there are no 7/11s near Ottawa and equivalent Quickie store good2go wasn't as potentially cheap as $25 per year.
But I came to the conclusion that Bell/Telus network would cover me better in rural areas where I might and do drive.
So I figured Presidents Choice Mobile (on Bell/Telus network) for $100 per year prepaid would be good, and also a $10 per month browsing plan.
But now I've been reading that smartphones can easily "accidentally" use data and the resultant charges would quickly deplete a Pres Choice balance. I had some issues like this with my Nokia Nuron Wind Phone. At least once it even turned itself on for some reason. Don't like that given at home I'm "Wind Away" and get charged 10 cents every 50 kilobytes.
So I'm thinking now of going with PetroCan at as little as $75 a year, also with mobile browsing $10 per month. It's on Rogers, but I'll check out their service and see how well it suits me. People have been successful lately with mobile WAP browsing on PetroCan and Speakout.
And I'll likely end up with at least one extra Bell/Telus network SIM I could keep in car and use if needed, and as always, 911 is always available even if no SIM or balance on SIM.
So, in conclusion, (for now, LOL) current plan is to test both Presidents' Choice (Bell) and PetroCan (Rogers) and see how they compare.

[Q] Purchased new X10i, 3G problems...

Sorry guys, noob here, couldn't find a thread that specifically talks about AT&T. Just purchased a X10i (I also have the AT&Ts X10a) and even though the phone downloads the AT&T settings from the net, there is no 3G. I guess I should have checked it, the retailer I bought from is MobileCityOnline and they have a little blurb about compatibility.
I must have missed that. Now my question is, would flashing the phone to a different ROM from here might help me? Long shot but I am just wondering before I send this phone back...
The X10i is lacking the correct bands to make it 3g capable on AT&T as such only connects via edge. I think you can connect to 3g on T-Mobile though.
X10a - 850/1900/2100/800
X10i - 900/1700/2100
1700/2100 needed for T-Mobile
850/1900 for AT&T
Hope this helps.

Thank you Sopdogg,
I am returning the phone, it will cost me restocking fees but good lesson for not doing my research properly.
So just to make sure, I need to check that the phone operates on HSDPA 1900 foor AT&T 3G, correct? I found another website that sells the X10a, I might just go with that.
The problem with my own AT&T (which I debranded/unlocked) that it shuts off when it gets hot, like about 48C usually. And anything can cause that, surfing the web, phone conversation, using the GPS, I am sick and tired of it. That is why I am trying to get a new one, maybe this one I have is faulty...
Why don't you get a new battery?

Or you could send it in to SE for repair/replacement. Buying a new phone is dumb if the phone is still under warranty.
The overheating on the x10 is from faulty chipset, theres a thread mentioning it around here, they will prolly replace it if u send it back to SE

he said he owned another x10a that messed up, so he bought an x10i.....
that is the one he is referring to
Thanks all, I sent the X10i and got a refund. This X10a I have is the original ATT release from 2010. Heat issues first started a few months after purchase with Google Nav, the phone would shut off while navigating and restart... I didn't put much thought into it back then but it became very annoying. And it was only doing it with Google Nav (thinking since the GPS was on) One day I realized it didn't crash at all because it was sitting in front of the air vent of the car with the AC running so I was then it was heat related. I updated to wolfbreak's rom, left stock kernel, but when it hits around 46C if I am trying to use 3G internet, nav or similar app, I know it will crash. If I get into my hot car after work and plug the phone to charge it, I know I can't use it because it will crash. It sucks. I didn't want to bother with ATT since I got rid of their bloated firmware. I didn't bother with Sony since I read on FB that it took months for people to get their phones back, and only to send it back. This is my only phone right now.
A new battery would resolve the issue? Thought about it but wasn't sure... wish there was a diagnostic software to tell me if the phone or the battery is the issue...
Wrong BB maybe... I flashed to BB67 and it seems to be working OK. One thing I noticed, when there is no signal, or I am at a place signal is very weak, in and out, it heats up pretty quick, and then crashes... It did the same with BB54 which was stock. So this problem might be ROM related, not sure...

I suffer from this same issue, one of the providers in my country recalled all the x10's and replaced them due to this. my provider did not.
Replacing the battery will not solve this "tried and tested"
Yes SE service center's may or may not replace the device.
They may even lie to you and say that you had tampered with the hardware of the device.
They may tell you that you have water damage and then show you a picture of the epoxy they put on the usb connector.
Send it back and be persistent.
Never assume it's, fixed test it first
I think the best deal is to find and buy another X10a. Then I might try to send this one in. See I have no phone if I send this one in...

Multiple Dropped Calls - Galaxy S9 Plus G965F

I love my new S9Plus, but I am getting increasingly frustrated in the number of dropped calls I am having.
It doesn't seem to matter if I have several bars or only one or two - I am dropping calls at least 8 or 9 times a day. Even when I have 4 bars.
TOday at work I had four bars (download speeds of 26MB down on lte) and I dropped two calls while talking to my wife. Problem enough that I dropped the calls but my wife thinks I hung up on her.
I live in the US and am on ATT if that matters. I have used International Variants on my last four phones and never had this call drop problem before. NEVER.
I first wonder if there is something I can do about this? Is this caused by software or hardware in the phone? is there a way to test t his? (it is hard to anticpate when I will drop calls. I have had some calls last over 10 minutes without dropping and other times in the same location - call drop out after 1 minute.
Anyone else having this problem? Your help and input is greatly appreciated.
Am I the only one experiencing dropped calls? Signal Strength seems ok - but while talking calls just drop off - I watched the signal strength meter go away and instead saw a circle with a link thru it - no signal I guess - (I think my call would have dropped had I been on a call) for no apparent reason -
Anyone else having an issue with dropped calls or am I the only one?
I'm also having drop outs on Vodafone UK. Only happens when I've been on the phone for more then 5 mins
I had bad quality in calls, hardly understood what the other person said; changed the sim card, all ok now.
Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk
I have the samsung unlocked version and using Verizon on it, have not dropped any calls yet but it seems very static sounding. I love the phone, and only talk to my wife on the phone, everyone else I just text so not a huge issue with me.
To OP, this used to happen to me on S4/S7 when the phone would switch between LTE/WCDMA when suddenly I would get no network with signal disappearing and dropping calls. A new firmware fixed that issue in one case and in other case had to replace the phone itself. Can you try changing to "GSM only" to see if this is related to VOLTE at all or bands changing between LTS<=>WCDMA?
As for the static in call, it could be due to lack of VoLTE support.
I went to the ATT Store and they mentioned that ATT has been doing someting with enhanced calling stuff - said it might effect me - but I am not sure I get enhanced calling because I am not on a branded phone. I went ahead and got a new sim card thinking maybe that might help. Will see what happens over the next few days.
I do appreciate the comments - hope this is not a phone issue
I'm on T-Mobile and I am experiencing it as well, and no it's not the service as my One plus 5t doesn't drop any calls in the same area, same sim, same service. Even the Wifi was weak.
I did a support call with Samsung and they advised me to return it.. I ordered another one to see if that one is any better... I'm hoping... If not that will go back as well.

I just got my s9 with att today and am in the states. I'm having the same issue. I have also noticed it is super delayed in sending images via text as well.
I have the issues on my s9 on Vodafone UK there is also a post in the s9 forums about it
It's seems to be affecting a few people and it seems global
So let's hope a FW update fixes it and that the update come soon ar I will return the handset
First the finger print sensor issues. Now this!
My one week old s9+ gave me trouble with the fingerprint error that got fixed with the update. But now my device is dropping almost every other call. Short or long it doesn't matter. I could make calls with no drops in the same spot using the same sim card on my s7 edge. Heading to Samsung tomorrow. Not quiet happy! Device is unlocked. Bought directly from Samsung and I live in Bahrain.

Returning mine today one thing I expect a phone todo is make calls. Most other things I can wait to be fixed.
Going back to my oneplus 5t which I actually think is a better phone
Unless you are using an AT&T S9+ (or one running AT&T firmware), you will drop calls on AT&T because they won't let your phone use VoLTE and it will try and drop to HSPA , which is being reduced network wise every day.
Getting the phone replaced with a new one.
I was delayed a couple of days because of work but I went to samsung today and they did extensive system tests that did not show anything more than a simple log that says "call drop due to weak network" which is not the case. However, I asked them to manually check it by making calls and keeping in on speaker and 2 out of 3 calls dropped and they got it recorded on camera. Now I'm waiting for my replacement. Hopefully this was a flaw in the first batch or something as my device was one if the first here in the country. Also I almost missed my 15 days replacement time frame. Otherwise they would've fixed it instead. Pheww what a relief. If you are experiencing this issue run to your closest Samsung service center and get it replaced.

Seriously!! What a disappointment after being excited about being one of the first people to own the device. I had 2 serious issues from the day I purchased it. Fingerprint sensor then dropped calls. My replacement device will be ready for pickup on Saturday. If it works perfectly I'm willing to forgive them. If not I'm going to demand my money back ! I did not pay around 1000$ for the device so I can drive to service center 3 times in 13 days and end up using my S7 edge again!

In the UK they offered to allow me to return it for replacement but would take about 20 days to get another handset so I have returned it for refund
I strongly suspect your replacement maybe the same.. I think it's a software issue that will need a FW update
Still I will be getting my cash back have decided to buy a new rifle instead

20 days!?! That's a long long time. I'd take the money like u did. They promised to give me a new device by Saturday so let's see. Otherwise I will take my money back and hold the purchase. Maybe I'll buy a different device altogether. Which sucks cuz I wanted the s9+ since it was rumored last year! Good luck with the rifle. Don't be shooting no Samsung employees lol

I have a note8 and iPhone x
I played with the s9.. call recording didn't work.. One of the features was missing 'blood pressure measurement' few other bits not right software wise
I will wait a few months see what other flagships come out
Hi Guys!
At spain there is a lot of people with this issue. With different providers, like Vodafone, Orange, etc...
We have sended a message on twitter to call Samsung to update a new modem firmware or something like this:
