Ive owned my new Kaiser for a week now and thought I'd share some issues. The first is there is no internet sharing on the current rom. It currently uses wmodem with dun and I cant seem to get it to work right. I want my internet sharing (PAN) that my tytn had back. Another issue is that there is no external antenna connector on the back of the phone. I didnt know this when I ordered the phone and I need it for the weak signals that I get in certain areas when I travel. The battery drains much faster than the tytn I had, and I cant really figure out why. I cant tell if the GPS is staying on and draining the battery when Im done using it because there is no real way to tell. Other than these issues it's an awesome phone and the gps seems to work great, but I would like to get the internet tethering to work so I can use it with my laptop on the road. Has anyone had any luck with this?
Hi
The Kaiser has not yet been officially released, and the units out there are BETA/Test units, where did you get yours?
Because so few people have one and you are unlikely to be using the final ROM that everyone will get when it's officially released, I can't see you getting any help with your problems just now.
You will need to wait for the official release and hope someone puts the ROM up so you can at least get the latest version of the software.
Regards
Phil
Thanks Phil, I got mine on ebay from a nice man in Europe that frequents this site. I buy everything on ebay. I understand the situation with the beta test models, but you would think there would be other people with beta test models in the same situation that might be able to help out. You would also think that if htc released a bunch of pre-release (beta) units that they would want feedback from the people that own them. It would be nice to know if someone is working on new test roms for these phones and how you go about getting them. Thanks for the response. Brian
Hmm..if i dont lost my mind i belive that i saw a video review today where they showed the external antenna connector on the back of the phone..
Yeaa i found it again..Here you have the link

Check the first video revew "HTC P4550 (Kaiser) Demonstration by eXpansys
You can se how he uses his pen to lift the rubber protection thing.. Hm..Sorry for my bad english but just watch the review
Edit
spelling mistake
Oh my god, I fel like an idiot. I t is behind the rubber thing! It said gps on it so I didn't try to pry it up to look under it. Thanks for the help. Now if I could just get this thing to share internet access with my laptop I'd be happy. Does anyone know if theres a internet sharing (PAN) cab file that would enable it on the kaiser! Thanks again for all the help.
Never mind, got it to work, with a couple of files that were posted for me. This forum is great!
Hey folks, not sure if people have already seen these, but apparently they come into stock tomorrow (friday)

uh! uh! uh! me want! me want!
nice design indeed... now since all stuff is made in china, time to check ebay and DX to find the same thing without the label...
translation = cheaper
If in stock tomorrow I will be ordering, nice find!
Have you used this site before? If so opinoins on them? (Directed at anyone who has used the site).
Bit off topic but is a cheaper ebay battery just as good as a Original?
Looks good but won't work with cases
Jsut ordered mine

Glad I went for a pouch case, Looks really good i loved using my dock for my iPhone and iPod Touch
I wonder whether it would be stable enough to stick to a car dash and use it as an in-car dock..
i wouldn`t buy it.. every time i see things like this, i think it going to scratch the back of the handset..

Twice as expensive though.
What is it that makes the phone decide it's 'docked' ??
When I plug my phone in to a micro-usb charger (or a micro-usb cable hooked up to a PC), then go to
Clock -> Dock Settings -> Audio
I still see the message 'Phone not docked', even though the phone is charging.
Does the phone have to be sync'ing with some software on a PC before it decides it's truly docked? Or does the cradle have some circuitry to deliver a message that tells the phone it is docked? I thought the cradle was simply a charger.
Still out of stock! It says "will be available from 25-th Feb" and now it is already 1st! Quite sad, as there are no other docks around.

Hi,
Where are you ordering the dock from? Is it from oddsandpods.com?
Just googled them and the reviews dont seem very favourable.
Could you please give us some feedback on how their service has been?
Thanks
I've just received information:
"Thank you for your order. Your order has been passed to the warehouse for picking and will be dispatched within 2 days. Should we be unable to send your order on time we will email you to advise of any delay."
When (if) dock arrive, I'll try to post some pictures and write a little bit about service.
Ordered from Odds and Pods on 24th Feb, not received it yet or getting any order updates! really not happy with these guys!
Title says it all...
I got my invite today, $1,500 and Glass can be mine.
I've been really intrigued by glass since it was announced.
I'm not a programmer but a tech. enthusiast who would really like to take advantage of some of the features of glass.
I like the idea of having the navigation on my heads up while driving, as well as seeing messages/emails etc.
So... what do you think... is it worth it, will it come down in price next year?
I can spend the $1500... but SHOULD I!?
LOL.
Thanks all.

I just bought a pair, and know someone that is also interested.
Did you click on the link in the email? If you did while connected to your google account, then it can't be used by another user.
Otherwise I'm interested.

If he did click it, he can buy it and then have your friend just buy directly from him. Google isn't locking us down any more.

Like you I'm not a developer but a big tech enthusiast who wants to learn as much about wearable tech as possible. Please send me an invite if it's still available. I'll be eternally grateful. If not thanks any way for the offer. It was very kind of you.

I understand. What did you have in mind? Reply here or PM if need be.
got one yesterday as well. ordered for pickup. however if you don't pick up they refund the money to your card. Still debating.......
It is really neat, but it also has a lot of shortfalls. Primarily battery life.
AND It's a lot of money
I got an invite to google glass yesterday, and was also wondering if I should do it. Does anyone know what happens if a new cheaper version comes out? Do you have to buy it again?
Also I can't see why this would be an issue but does anyone know if glass works on phones using custom ROMs?
Google has said that the current XE-C is, hardware-wise, what the commercial version will be. They already allowed the owners of XE-B to exchange theirs for XE-C for free, so if Google did make further changes then I bet they'd do it again.
I am running CM11 and have no issues. I would not expect there to be, so long as the ROM has a proper Bluetooth stack.

Yes it works with roms. Play store has an app that you download to phone, and set up glass that way. You can wifi and bluetooth to your phone for calls, sms etc. I have a note 3 rommed and using them now. IMO- they are not $1500 cool. May be sending mine back within the 30 days... still playing with them

howdy peeps,
I live in Canada and I just received my dock that I purchased from bestdirect.ca. As I opened the box right away I had a bad feeling as the date on the box said 2013.10 (supposedly defective models). it had the usual loose hinge and connection loss upon movement issues . Now, bestdirect.ca has a 15 day return for full refund (customer satisfaction or w.e) policy. What do you guys think I should do? Send for refund? replace with bestdirect? send to asus? What is the best approach for this? Im fairly new to RMA returning procces so I need some advice here. Also, Has anyone received dock with supposedly fixed models? has anyone received the 2013.11 and 2013.12 docks? If so, has the issues actually been fixed? please let us know. thanks for any help!
I would recommend a swap for one that is from batch 2013.11 or later.
When that is not possible then send it back and get money returned.
Then order one later that has proven no problems.

Personally, I'm waiting until we get verification that working docks are being produced, sold, and received by users before I order another one. Mine had problems and I sent it back to Amazon for a refund the very next day.

Yeah, this seems like the best option. Bail out until there's a verified solution. Prices will only go down over time, anyway.
k then that seems to be the way to go. i will ask for the supposedly fixed batch docks, if they cant fulfill that then i will take refund and hold untill confirmed fixed units arrive. Although im still interested to know if anyone has the 2013.11 or 2013.12 batch dock, and if they has fixed the issue in that. other than that, thnx for all the help guys :good:

I have a 2013/09 and it has no issues a bit of movement but it has never lost connectivity
for those that say it will eventually break then fine let it as long as it happens in warranty at least then i will get a replaced dock likely that may not have these issues but i doubt much would change.
till then i`m happily using my tablet with no issues besides asus jp untimely release of 4.3 or better.
still waiting and confirmed not rolling out yet. in fact when speaking to asus about it they didn`t even know if a update was in the works typical call center shenanigans.
See thats what i hate and really cant stand: the wiggling. its absolutely anoyying. i want it to be firm and sturdy with no movement at all, so as though it feels like a mini laptop. i also dont like the click buttons on the track pad. very stiff and hard to press. dammit asus....

Well I hope that from builddate 2013.11 the flexing is much less.
But the quality of the dock can't compare with the quality of the TF700 dock. That was so much better. Sad but I rather pay Euro 50,- more for good quality then what they did now.
Hello.
We decided we was going to have a pizza last night anyway I rang the pizza shop and the guy answeredand said Hello No 1 Gxxxxce Street do you require delivery? Now this just shocked me Iv never heard this before and apparently this guy was not supposed to say that on the phone becausee someone else came on and said sorry that was a new employee who did not know the system.. So I just said how do you know where I was phoning from?
He said its something to do with this computer software we have installed. I said yes I can appeciate that but I did not phone from my BT phone I called from my mobile. And a bit cageee he said I dont know how it works just that it does..
So I just got to thinking how he knew it and what software is there out there that is telling them this sort of information. I understand that yes they have to be sure they are taking orders from the right place for delivery but its just a bit funny doing it with mobile as I can see that it is done either by where the mobile is regersed to or by gps in which case you dont know who what or when you are being tracked by do you?
I just wondered if anyone else had come accross anything like this at all?. To me it seems as Big Brother has just got bigger?

That's more likely.
And that's why I stopped ordering food from big fast-food restaurants, better order from small local cafes or even make own pizza with a simple oven like this. I've been considering a transition to homemade food only. This should be more healthy. Now I have plenty of time for practice.
