Hi,
Does anyone have any info or idea if the AMBER update will be available OTA for L920s with the DEV ROM? I don't see that entry in the update schedule page from Nokia. I just chatted with them and they said they have nothing scheduled at the moment, and suggested instead to go back to my ROGERS ROM (not even in my wildest dreams!).
I know I can flash it, but I don't want to go through the pain of doing everything again, including re-setting all my apps et al. If the OTA update comes out in a couple of weeks or so, I don't mind waiting, but I don't want to wait and then realise in a couple of months that it is not coming out and have to flash it anyhow.
Any news? Do we have to start making some noise on Nokia's forums and social media?
Thanks.

In case anyone else is wondering, I started getting the update OTA last week. I wasn't expecting it so my connection was very slow and I just soft reset it... Apparently, the download got somehow messed up upon resuming. To make a long story short, after it was installed, the screen lock didn't work properly: I could only unlock my phone right after it turned on; after that, it would not respond at all, so I had to soft-reset every time I wanted to unlock the screen -the other option being deactivating the screen lock altogether, but that doesn't look very promising, especially for battery consumption and pocket dials.
As it turns out, I ended up flashing the firmware, which is ironic because I could have done it a while ago when it came out, but didn't want to go through all the hassle.
My only problem now is that some apps that should work, like Nokia Pro Camera, do not allow me to install them. My firmware does say it is the latest version, and it also identifies the Lumia Amber in Details, but the app is not available.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks

Hey guys,
I really really really need your help on that.
A couple of weeks ago, I decided to upgrade my X10i (Android1.6) from build 24 to 26. I tried to do it OTA but I couldn't. I tried several times clicking on the "Update now" option on the "Software Update" feature but I always get a message saying "No update available". Then, I found a way to update my phone here in XDA-DEVELOPERS that requires rooting the device. I successfully upgraded it, and everything was going well. I did not notice any major changes but better performance of course.
When SE announced that they are going to release the 2.1 update, I read an article about the update, and it was saying that only non-rooted devices may be able to get the update sooner and those with rooted devices need to wait for unknown period. So, I looked over the web for debranding solution, and found one that uses SE software called "PC Suite 2.0". After installing the SW and debranding my device, I noticed that my device GSM signal drops down so easily. I never saw my device getting full 4 bars since then, always 3 or less. Even more, I can not make calls inside buildings (1 bar / no signal). When I make calls while driving, I get disconnected every 1 minute > ("No service")
I decided to turn my mobile off, and insert the SIM to my other phone "HTC Hero" until SE releases the new update (2.1). I, unfortunately, had to wait ~ 6 weeks till that day, and when I downloaded the update I didn't notice any difference. I tried the Nordic thing, and I tried the original update. No one of them seems to get my device any better signal reception.
Please guys, I need an urgent help.
UPDATE:
Just noticed that when I put my x10i on matt surface, the signal all gone. When putting it on wooden surface, I get ~2 bars. And when putting it close to my macbook, I get full reception.
I'm not an expert on this kind of things and I really have no clue why is that happening. I just noticed it when I picked my phone up from the matt ground and put it on my wooden table!!

I think you, must update after 2.1 nordic version in step 2 to Global version (step 1 update to 2.1 nordic version)
Try with this you loose the root, to update to 2.1 Global is necesary update to nordic 2.1 first.
greetings
G'day Picaron,
I mentioned in the OP that I already tried all the 2.1 options:
"I tried the Nordic thing, and I tried the original update. No one of them seems to get my device any better signal reception."
Any other suggestions?
So, no one knows how to fix it?
X10i is dead after upgradation to 2.1
I also tried to update my previoius version 1.6 to 2.1 torugh SE update service but it bricked my phone. Now I can't switch it on while screen is blank. It viberated while I switch on but stays as it is. I tried numerous times but at the end of installing update it fails. I have tried other options for debranding to Nordic version which flashes till last step but nothing worked and my cell remains dead after restart. I called up SE service people who eventually told me as 2.1 update is expected to be released in KSA within this week so I shall try updating it again once it's released locally (might be fixed).
Can any one help me as how can i get it worked as I bought this through ebay and can't get service backup here??
Just a "heads up"....
On October 28th I got my HTC Titan and it has been the best phone I've had in my hands. Until this morning.
I stared the day by reading email. I put the Titan on the table and went for a cup of coffee. As I was standing by the coffee machine I saw the phone rebooting. "OK", I thought, "that was strange". But I let it boot, hoping that was it.
But that wasn't it. It kept rebooting. The longest time it went without rebooting was 10 minutes, but often it restarted every 1 minute or so.
I tried pulling the battery, and restarted. Still rebooting.
I tried removing my apps, such as Rowi and Spotify. Still rebooting.
I tried a hard reset, and added my accounts (Exchange, Twitter, Facebook). Still rebooting.
I tried another hard reset. Still rebooting.
I sent it to service. Hopefully they'll find out why.
The only other similar issues I've been able to find are issuses with HD2 and the SD-card. But the Titan only has built in memory. If this is the culprit, I would really, really like to know what caused this as I haven't done anything special.
It does not appear to be a common problem, but have anybody else heard of this?
Update rom to 1.09..
If the Service Center doesn't upgrade (and the error returns), I will consider this. (It's this one, right?)
I was just hoping that a brand new phone would last longer than 10 days before I "hack" into it. As it is so new, I don't want to do anything to break my warranty.

... and just to be sure: Is this just a general suggestion, or do you know it to solve my problem?
It is an official ROM that means you will not lose the warranty.
This ROME is intended to solve restart problems, wifi drops etc.
Great! If Service does not upgrade, and/or it happens again, I'll try that first.
if you havnt tried it yet you should try a new sim-card. we have had quite strange behavior with a couple of titans here at work with sims that were about 2 years old. with new sim-card - no problemas.

hmm, another thing - i know norway has come a long way on the "mobile-office-extention" - we now has something similar in sweden and my titan is connected to our companyswitchboard - and if i make some changes to our part(cisco) (not Telias, our carrier) and im in any kinda call with me titan it will enter an almost always neverending hang. if i disconnect my titan from our swithboard i still hasnt experienced a single hang.
not a solution but something to perhaps help you along the way =)
I've been having this exact same problem - and I only received the phone yesterday! I'm going to wait for a reply from HTC before flashing a ROM although I was disappointed to note that their website doesn't even have a support page for the Titan.
Does anyone know where the updated ROM actually came from so that it is known and not just reported to be an official ROM?
deinstall the HTC apps, this solved it for me!
my sim-card is really old, no issues with that, also I am running the 1.09 Rom

I didn't think of that, as I didn't thought it was possible! It never even occured to me that it could be done.
If that makes it work, then we should tell HTC. They are certainly not helped by their own flawed software...

HTC have said that the 1.09 ROM on here is not an official ROM, since an official ROM would come over Zune.
I have been advised to either re-set the phone to factory default or contact the retailer about a replacement. I seriously doubt a re-set will fix this, so I'm likely to have to return it, which is incredibly annoying.
I've received a further reply from HTC, below:
"With regard to the issue being software related - we have not had any confirmation or known faults with the current ROM version on the Titan.
If the issue was found to be an issue with the ROM an update would indeed be issued, but as we have nothing confirmed I cannot say if an update will be provided to fix this at this moment."
If other people are having this problem then it needs to be reported to HTC before they will do anything.

I don't know exactly how it works now, but before there were two kinds of ROMs. The one released to everyone, and the ones given to service centres in case of bugs.
I believe this is a situation for the latter.

Yes,without unlocked bootloader,it is official rom

Hey Guys,
So I just received my prime and I updated it to ICS. I opened up the camera app to play with it and both cameras work. But about 20 minutes later I open up the camera app and I see a bunch of green lines in the "viewfinder". It then forceclosed.... I now am unable to open the camera app. I have tried to video chat and only the frontfacing camera works. I have also tried to use "Retro Camera" and it does not work either. I did a factory reset and nothing changed...

rear camera not working after firmware update???
I'm having the same issue. I received my 32gb Gold prime from amazon yesterday and immediately update to ICS and camera update and now experiencing the same issue as your. I did not test the camera before the update and so i'm not sure if the update cause it or if the camera was bad right out of the box. I did factory reset twice but the problem still remains
Looks like you guys both need to send them back in for replacement.
That sucks. The sooner we get bootloader unlocked the better.

ASUS response: Um...yeah...some update screw up the camera...we are sorry, we know the problem. We are going to update our spec to say that the cameras does not exist. Please ignore the 2 lens sticking out from your tablet. Thank you for buying our product.
Same problem
Anyone found a fix? I have the exact same issue. I will try to restore it to factory default settings tonight and let you know if it helps.
Just to test, has anyone with this issue tried to clear the data from the camera app... settings > apps > camera
OR, try and download a different camera app and test and see and if it works. I use Camera Zoom personally and not the stock camera.
Guys......there is a firmware update specifically for the camera. Go into settings and check for updates. If nothing shows up you will have to wait until Asus posts direct links on the site. I'm surprised I'm the only one that knows us.
Your not the only one who knows this. I have received 2, maybe 3 in total.
But, I assumed they already got their updates as the moment you turn on your device, these are shown to you so you cannot miss them when they come around. If they went to ICS, they should have gotten a notice for the camera at the same time. There was another under HC as well.

Good point. Now the question is if you guys have gotten the camera update as well?
Update
I just did a factory reset and it doesn't work. Its weird that I cannot find many cases of this happening from forums online, so here are a few details that might help clarify things:
First, yes I have upgraded to the latest firmware and tried clearing the data for the camera and anything that could even remotely be related (media processes etc). And yes I have tried using other apps that use the camera, and it still doesnt work.
Second, the camera worked before. It worked prior to and after the ICS upgrade, and prior to/after the firmware upgrade for the camera. It just stopped one day for no reason.
Lastly, its only the rear facing camera. Most of the time it is just a blank black screen, but every once in a while it comes up with a green screen with what looks like the ghost of some of my desktop icons. Ill post a screen shot.
I would really rather not have to send in my TFP but im starting to come to the realization I may have to. Its frustrating because I know it worked after the most recent update, so it must be a software issue and not an issue with the camera itself. 2 weeks is a long time to live without my baby...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Android version: 4.0.3
Camera Version:TF201-0x9900
If you cleared data, reset, tried other cams, updated firmware, what more can one do? Sorry man it sounds like some sort of defect.
firmware
Does doing a factory reset re-install my camera firmware? Is there anyway I can reset to prior to the ICS or camera firmware update and reinstall it?
No, once firmware is onboard it is onboard, it is not undone via a reset.
One last update
One last update on my problems. Got off the phone with ASUS a while ago and they had me do a full data wipe. Volume down/power and everything. Didn't fix the issue. Gave me an RMA and a sad heart for two weeks.
Looks like Ive joined the ranks of those who had a problem with my TFP. Shucks, things were going so well...
Best buy
I have spoken with Best Buy, and they are willing to send me a new one when they are in stock.... I didn't want to mess with Asus and this way, I won't need to send mine in.

Maybe if we both return ours to bestbuy at the same time they will just swap them . I have a skinomi on mine, Im going to call ASUS and see if I can avoid removing my bubble free masterpiece.
Hey guys did anyone find a fix for this ? I just got this problem.. or do i really have to contract asus..
Same prob. Here and I just try to correct it with rom manager and reset permisions. A downgrade to honeycomb doesen't helped 'cause the camera firmware dosen't go down, so there is no way to correct it, so i wolud say that the driver's a broken...
Not sure how I missed this thread before.
The exact same thing happened to me. Called ASUS, they had be send it to them (at my expense, of course). Sent it in late January, sat in TX "waiting for repair/testing" according to the RMA status site. After a month of nothing being done I sent an upset but not irate email, and they "fixed" it and sent it out the next day. Got my tablet back a few days later (roughly March 1st), everything was working fine. Now, not even three weeks later, the problem is happening again. I called, they want to fix it again. At least they're paying for shipping this time, supposedly.

Bit the bullet and went for it! Success. :good:
Got fed up with waiting around for Micro$oft and HTC to finish d!cking around deciding if they are going to release this stuff or not. It seems they can't even decide through their own official website announcements what's going on, and both seem to contradict each other. HTC need a big lesson on customer relations, and responding positively, and keeping former promises about updates, or many of us long term HTCers are likely to move to the Nokia side of the Force.
Anyway, moving on from the corporate politics...
Ran this on a factory-supplied unlocked HTC Titan X310e, and it worked an absolute treat... 25 minutes of loading various updates, but no problems noted thus far. The only thing I did notice was the HTC hub icon not acting in live mode in either large or medium tile size (just goes dark). Maybe that's just a refresh issue, but not really bothered - it's only an icon to launch the real app. Resized it small fort he HTC logo, so I know what it does if I need it.
It will ask you to install the Dev Kit first (5 minutes tops) and that installs all automatic, then relaunch 7-8er, choose language pack (be careful to scroll down the full list if you want English UK), and just watch it update. Remember to enter your PIN after it reboots after each incremental upload so the next stage can run.
Brilliant work.

I update my phone using SevenEighter a few days back. It was working fine until yesterday. Afther update i noticed my phone is restaring abnormally. Yesterday night colors where messed out in background screen and after restart it was fine.
Later My phone made again abnormal restart and didnt wake up any more!! Was just showing Nokia logo and thats it. After serval minutes it made continious restarts. So i figured out that problem may be related to Lumia 800 Battery issues what has happened with many people! (My phone is 3 days old). Today i downloaded original RM ending .. 12070 and i was able to recover using nokia care suite. thank god!
So my question to you guys is have you noticed same thing happening with your phone? Also does wp7.8 contain any kind battery fix like 7.5 has? I liked 7.8 much but if im not able to use it and it ruins my device i´ll stay on 7.5.

I flashed 7.8 on my 710 using NaviFirm and downloader.exe and last night I got the exact same problem
The background of the homescreen covered all the tiles, all tiles were under the background, then some tiles appeared but most were still gone
Rebooted the phone and everything is fine again
It must be a 7.8 bug, not the method we update them

all works. but no wi-fi setting and cannot see "About" in phone settings. the Zune still says 7.10.xx when checking for update
Hi guys.
I'm quite new here so forgive me if I put the post in the wrong place.
Let me try to describe my issues with my phone.
A couple months ago I got a new LG V60 from my wife (brand new but without warranty).
The first problem I noticed after a few days was that the fingerprint scanner wasn't working properly. I mean everyone can unlock my phone after a few tries placing finger on the scanner at an angle.
When I try to unlock the phone by fingerprint it takes ages (it's very difficult to unlock the phone for the first time). I was trying remove saved fingerprint and create a new one but the problems is still there.
Another problem is with losing signal from satellites when using navigation. I was trying Google maps, Sygic and TomTom and it's look like the Google works best but there is still problem with signal, quite often I get information about 'searching position'.
Next one is that the phone is freeze sometimes and I have to restart it to work properly. It's happening around once a week.
I was trying hard reset but it didn't fix it, then I downloaded the original firmware with android 10. I don't know if it helped because I got lots of updates and it ended up on the Android 12 again. At the beginning of use after this operation the phone was working better but after a couple of weeks the same problems came back.
I'd like to add if I want to do a back up I get information like this "the required google certificate has been deleted". On Android 10 this information wasn't appearing.
Do you have guys any idea what's wrong with this phone?

Hi guys.
I'm quite new here so forgive me if I put the post in the wrong place.
Let me try to describe my issues with my phone.
A couple months ago I got a new LG V60 from my wife (brand new but without warranty).
The first problem I noticed after a few days was that the fingerprint scanner wasn't working properly. I mean everyone can unlock my phone after a few tries placing finger on the scanner at an angle.
When I try to unlock the phone by fingerprint it takes ages (it's very difficult to unlock the phone for the first time). I was trying remove saved fingerprint and create a new one but the problems is still there.
Another problem is with losing signal from satellites when using navigation. I was trying Google maps, Sygic and TomTom and it's look like the Google works best but there is still problem with signal, quite often I get information about 'searching position'.
Next one is that the phone is freeze sometimes and I have to restart it to work properly. It's happening around once a week.
I was trying hard reset but it didn't fix it, then I downloaded the original firmware with android 10. I don't know if it helped because I got lots of updates and it ended up on the Android 12 again. At the beginning of use after this operation the phone was working better but after a couple of weeks the same problems came back.
I'd like to add if I want to do a back up I get information like this "the required google certificate has been deleted". On Android 10 this information wasn't appearing.
Do you have guys any idea what's wrong with this phone?
Thank you in advance.

I also have the v600TM on Android 10. I have had no problems with the fingerprint except after the first time I unlocked the bootloader (see 1st post for the fix). I did not allow an update to Android 11 or 12. Maybe you should try the fingerprint on A10 for awhile before moving to 12.
Hopefully you don't have one of those Chinese refurbs pretending to be new!

Hi
Thank you for the reply.
Maybe you right and I should try to use the phone on android 10 and see if it's works properly. I'll see what happens.
Do you know when android 13 will be available for V60?
As a owner of the V30, V40 I'm really disappointed of the V60 now.

Hi,
You're welcome. When you are new to a forum or group, its like you are invisible.
My current main phone is the V30. The V60 has been more difficult than past phones to configure the way I want. When I installed TWRP a few months ago it was a DISASTER! Installing MicroG (to replace google play services) has also not worked out well. I have limited funds and I am beginning to wonder if the V60 was a good choice.
There is already an Android 13 beta for some versions of the V60.
The thing with V60 is that it is newer than V30. So a lot of fixes are not fully cooked. With LG gone from the scene, there is no incentive for developers to pursue it with any dedication. I don't know if TWRP will be fully built for this phone.

I do remember how slow the V30 was in the beginning. Now the V30 has a bunch of ROMs and an OFFICIAL LineageOS! I hope the V60 goes the same way. I doubt it, though.

I forgot to mention that I posted a possibly newer (than 3.6.0-11) version of TWRP for the V60:
TWRP 3.6.0-11

Hi guys
It's me again with another problem
As for the above problems that I wrote about, I decided not to do anything about it for now and patiently wait for the android 13 update and see what happens.
How happy I was when two days ago I received the opportunity to download the update.
The joy did not last long, as it turned out that I'm unable to download the update.
Previously, I got information like 'The phone is being use and update will be downloaded later' (or something similar). Now the update downloads for a while and pops up 'Installation problem' and cannot be downloaded (always in the same time). I restarted the phone, deleted apps, changed from WiFi to mobile data and still the same.
Do you have guys any ideas what can I do with it?
As far as I know the phone is from US (T-mobile) and I live in the UK.
Thank you in advance for your help

If you unlocked the bootloader, I hear that updates don't work.

How to check if the bootloader is unlocked?
As I said before I haven't done anything yet with the phone as I was waiting for the update but I'd like to check it, maybe the bootloader was already unlocked

When the phone is starting up (after being off or rebooting) it will say something like: This phone cannot be checked for corruption. Lock the bootloader.
If the bootloader is locked I suggest you backup before doing a factory reset.
