"1. Today i came to know that our Blackstone has Compass Hardware too and we have code for it too."
Seems to me that you were sure?

Ahh righto

I think we do have.
Thats the shame 'bout HTC (besides da poor quality of hard- and software): they setup ONE hardware and make 5 PDAs with slighty changed details. they were never interested in making good hardware.. everytime they took something away the previous model had... now, they do have android and are able to clone nearly the same device just with another OS.
in commercial aspects, this makes sense.... but as consumer I can only think of it as a pain in the neck. my old universal has a high res display, a 3,5mm audioconnector, a well made keyboard and a fast cpu... years ago... a shame it is the size of a brick .

If someone would mad it possible to use the Compass HW with WinMo i would gladly set a bounty of 50$.
Goal would be a little App to proof that it ist working plus the sourcecode for other Devs.
Does anyone join in?

its probably another 'tv out' scenario...
basically the chipset has the tech but other required hardware / software is not present hence the features can never be used.
why on earth HTC cripple devices like this is boggling.....if the HD had been released with TV-out (which the qualcomm chipset supports) & a hw compass (to be confimed) it would have levelled the competition.....
i am sure their marketing strategy has good reasons for not doing...but as said earlier from the consumers point of view its a pain in the butt...especially considering some of us are locked in 24 month contracts.!! so wont be purchasing other handsets even if we wanted too.
lets hope some clever devs find a way to unlock these features!! (if possible)

I disagree your argumentation:
Developers here wrote drivers to implement TMC and RDS into the features of the Blackstone. HTC hasn´t done it yet.
HTC seems to leave possible feature unused. Maybe to save time for their developers.
The old topic of a missing video driver is another example for that.

50$ from me for unlocking the feature + another 100$ if anyone makes it work with Google Maps + another 100$ if someone makes an augmented reality app like Wikitude (Android).
Only if it's done before the release of the HTC Leo

It's a AK8976A chip

well i would chip in $50 as well .. if it worked !!

Byes

haha, did anyone think that they mite have released the phone in haste, or maybe they did it on purpose to allow the release of the HD pro to include such features, along with a 128GB internal memory (i wish).

I've read the same thread from Tuxhero and I have to see it before I believe it. The only thing we've got is a blanket statement that he has read it somewhere. Someone else created slight confusion on this site before with similar statements.
Not saying that he's lying (in fact, I hope he's right), a source would help. Until then, I'm not getting my hopes up.

Im guessin they didnt include alot of features cause when the phone was released whoever ws going to buy it would buy it anyway, and when competitors (Iphone3gs) release phones with features like the compass thing etc , htc can easily release newer phones with the same features ... sort of like having it ready on earlier models so when they need to release it they can quickly!
My guess

Is my note 5 fake? 😐

Hi all, i just bought a second hand note 5. Here are the problems.
S pen does not click out and have to you use your nail.

Sorry...you have probably a fake note 5.
Check for sure the following application to check the phone informations.

I mean fake ones wouldnt be QHD, would be very slow, low benchmark obviously and it should never be able to run jelly bean.. if you go to about phone, you'll see software info, status, battery info, they should have N920 in them (specially baseband). Download an app like hardware info for more information about the device. But from what you described, it looks to be fake.

Fake IMEI number, Fake serial number.
The baseband leads to a website called 'CloneROM' which doesn't seem promising either.
You have a fake phone.

Changing the IMEI and serial number will be dependent on the hardware, a custom ROM will not change those.

I can't answer that question since that isn't my expertise. I would advise you to contact the seller of the phone and file a complaint.

You will obviously state what issues you have with the device.
That the device is fake.

It's certainly 100% fake. The site for CloneRom seems to be made for Chinese fake phone makers, What they all have in common is they use a octocore MediaTek (Which Samsung would NEVER use)
https://www.clonerom.com/category/galaxy-note-5
Also if you look at the base band date, it's from 2014. The Note 5 was officially released in Aug or so 2015 which is a dead give away it's fake. Also the IMEI is fake and could actually be blocked by carrier as there could be duplicates with that IMEI so they'll just block the phone so it doesn't take down the network. Each IMEI needs to be UNIQUE.
Go get your money back ASAP and buy a REAL Note 5 or Galaxy S7
Tell the guy you checked out the CPU, It's not meant to be a MediaTek (Only Exynos).
It's Running Kitkat instead of Lollipop.
It's got a bad Serial number and also bad IEMI (which is the worst thing)

stab him :| (after you take your money back)

Hi thanks, It lags when watching youtube videos. It shudders trying to play. The phone is really laggy.

Hi all, used cpu-z to list info. What do you think?

100% fake. I was a phone tech for years and I saw all kinds of chinese clones and they all had that MOLY baseband. Dead giveaway right there. Sorry man :/

Not really, the complaint level of AW2 is so high, of laggy performance, we may be having a favor done for us as tuning is being done before we get. There was an update for earlier released watches this last day which is getting positive feedback. So that is making me think we'll get it very soon now, I think tomorrow.

Lol swing and a miss. The wear 2.0 developer preview got taken down though, so either its coming soonish or we're just getting f***** on this one. All the indications are there.why would we buy the watch sport if we can flash the 2.0 developer preview?

I downloaded and saved the most recent AW1.5 and AW2 DP. I tried AW2 DP and it was awful, so went back to AW1.5 which I saved in case when AW2 officially released it is still awful.
We're being done a favor getting AW2 late but now I see happy noises on the June release, I'm seeing less reason to wait. But if there is a reason its no bad thing. The only thing I can't do is Android Pay.
If anyone does have the time to try AW2 then by all means flash DP and realize its a totally different everything interface, as I've been on AW now >2 years I find it awkward interface, noobs would take less retraining.
Someone likely has the googleapis link, I just have the file locally backedup.

Android Wear 2.0 fow the W200* is finaly here (well via OTA in Korea... For us via adb sideload )
Here it is the file: http://android.googleapis.com/packa.../af88cfbc96ad65e7b728e27c2decbdc6fb0e08e8.zip
P.S. It works perfectly! Android pay too!!!

Anyone tried the Korean firmware ? I didn't think 2.0 was that bad at all. Few things to fix but added a lot.

I updated earlier today. Made my first successful Android Pay purchase this afternoon. I never tried the preview so I'm still learning all the tricks/quirks of 2.0.

Sweet . Very cool , are you a US model though ? And did you use an OTA update or use PC with unlocked bootloader to flash it ?

Yes I have the AT&T model, W200A. I used the minimal adb and fastboot tool to sideload the zip file from my PC. I didn't have to unlock the bootloader.

i updated my w200a today with the korea version. however it felt more like another preview than a final release. Lag is present like on the preview, overheats somewhat easily and the battery drains way faster when you are using it than when you are on 1.5. At least this is my case on the w200a. I did a fsctory reset to see if that solved but no. Same result.

I have the at&t urbane 2 LTE (unlocked)
Until today I was running developer preview (nemo-nvf41u-factory-e269c504)
I had an update come through which has given me:
build number NXH20E
(ANDROID WEAR 2.0.0.159006699)
with security patch 1st May 2017.
The top and bottom buttons are working (re programmed through the options)
Android pay works.
I am in the UK.

I'm in the US and I updated using ADB and the file captured from the ota in Korea and these numbers match exactly to mine.
Found any bugs/issues yet? I've had an occasional lag or two. Android Pay is working and I've successfully tracked runs with GPS using ghostracer paired to the phone through cell data (my main usage requirement).

Not found any bugs on mine.
I have a few side loaded apps that may have been causing the odd glitch now and again whilst on the developer preview, but nothing since the update.
(Side loaded es file explorer so I could use MP3 ringtone on the watch & Google drive to download / upload)

I'm in the US with ATT version. Just got OTA last night. So far so good.

Question Chinese version XT2137-2

Hi all,
I’ve got this phone from China (via Aliexpress) with original Chinese firmware. All technical specs match the description included in the initial release except the amount of volatile memory: mine has 8gb. That is what seller advertised as well but I couldn’t believe until I received it. Pretty good phone for a child for its price. The only problem is that Google family app doesn’t work (like on all phones for China) and I can only select between English and Chinese languages. Thinking to flash EURETEU firmware, but only concerned that the device ID is different (last digit). Any questions and advices are warm welcome.

Show both Id's?
I reckon if its for your fone, and your a flasher lol, go ahead.
The end digit could mean anything without seeing it..?

Thank you for responding and sorry for keeping silent. XT2137-1 is the ID of the Global version. Mine has got XT2137-2
I haven`t tried flashing it yet, but will probably give it try soon

Just use Motorola's recovery tool. Nothing will happen if you switch firmware.

Question Flash another rom on demo unit ? (multimedia use)

Hi,
I'm looking into buying a S21 Ultra or S21+ Live Demo unit for multimedia use only, the seller told me there is no software support since may 2021, is it possible to flash the rom of a "normal" variant to get the latest update ?
Thanks you a lot

bump please

Demo units are not for sale, therefore almost always illegally obtained. Expect no support.
My advise is to stay away from demo units.

Standard international, up to date rom, can be flashed using odin on these device

Expect some issues. If you are looking for multimedia, remember when you do any unofficial mods to any Samsung phone. You will lose HD Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.etc. Unofficial mods dumps Google's Widevine keys. If it's not very cheap then normal S21U stay away from it. If it's like half price, It looks like a deal.
But as myself, if I was planning to buy demo unit I probably choose OnePlus or Xiaomi because they are more easily modable.

once you learn the ups and downs of flashing, you will realize alot s possible.. live demos should be no exception.
just about every samsung i believe is mod -able- in some fashion
and just remeber if it powers on.. its not completely bricked. samsungs are stout

Except, you can't enable OEM unlock on the device, and the download mode screen is totally different to the standard S21...
Theory and practice are different. So I guess your response is not first hand experience?

There is only a few limitation like some benchmark that can't be installed, you can't connect to Samsung account but overall is very well usable, I guess I could go more in depth in rom flashing, rooting and so on but I don't really care right now
It can be OEM unlocked, I have the warning message at each boot that my bootloader is unlocked.
Also, I don't think it can OTA update, it's running the april update and it says that no update is available.
