Hi guys,
This will be my new sub forum. Have a new xda trion on delivery for the next few days. Can't wait.
Tried buying a Trinity but it didn't work when I got it so ended up sending it back to the seller.
Got looking at the Hermes range and thought it looked smart so I've taken the plunge. Hope it's ok when it arrives.
Will no doubt get lots of help from your forums.
Will play with the phone for a while first before starting to mod it or whatever but will be browsing the forum for the latest things to do.
cheerio

welcome mate - you will not regret it, i got a xda trion too (2nd hand but practically brand new) and i love it to bits.
id suggest when starting to mod upgrade to crc 9.1 for a stable fast rom, and if you drive install tomtom on it with an external gps reciever, get a microSD card 2gb+ and not only do you have a phone you have
GPS and media player too
My advice to anybody new to the phone.
1) Read ALL relevant parts of the WIKI
2) Read MrVanx's upgrade guide.
3) Install HardSPL
4) Always use the MicroSD card for flashing ROMS/RADIO
Thanks for the welcome, advice and prompt replies - Wam7 and kingsizeriz. I can't wait for the phone to arive.
I have a couple of psp's which I have installed custom firmware on and used pandora batteries on so the prospect of fettling the phone is not completely alien to me, although lots of reading first will be the order of the day.
Am really far too addicted to new technology for my own good. What with the internet and psp's. I used to have a zx81, then a commodore 64, then a psion before I got on to my pc. Have also had an hp ipaq for a number of years. The only thing wrong with it was that it isn't a phone too. So the new toy will fulfil all my requirements. Just got a Garmin 660 too to play with in the car.
Where is the best place to get micro sd cards and gps receivers?
Ta in advance.

MicroSD cards - amazon or ebay (cheap and cheerful - even if they are fake "sandisks" etc
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2GB-Micro-SD-...ryZ98876QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
GPS Recievers - ebay - i have a fake holex gps reciever branded "holox" but its better than any other i have tried
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=320246567642&Category=139838
The main advise i give to you is when you recieve your phone dont get too eager.. read everything and read it again to prevent a very expensive paperweight.

Hahaha, the old ZX81 with the rubber keypads, noe that takes me back. Did the C64, Amiga things as well
Go for the 8GB MicroSD, might as well, you won't regret it! kingsizeriz is also spot on with the Holux GPS's but try and make it's SiRFStar III.
Noooooo the zx81 didn't have rubber keypads that was the sinclair spectrum, from what I remember at my advanced age. I never did get the amiga though but did get a wobbly 16k rampak for my zx81, yes all you out there, 16k! No hard disk drives in those days, I used a tape recorder to load dos and it took so long that I could have a game of darts whilst I was waiting.
Will think about the 8gb and have a look at the receiver. And yes, I will read and then read again.
Ta guys.

Hahaha, yes nostalgia does have a way of distorting your memory. It was the ZX Spectrum but I had a TRS-80 before that. Oh yes, the old tape to load program how times have changed.... anyway back O.T. I have two MicroSD cards, a 1GB just for flashing (a 256MB or 512 MB will do) and a 6GB as my main card.
i'd go for a bigger one if money is not an issue. i got a 2gb due to lack of funds..
That's a good idea. Will get two cards then. Any body got any experience of using dual sim cards with the xda trion. Don't fancy the ones where you have to cut the cards though.

Got my new phone on Saturday. Brill. Busy working my way through all the buttons, menus, handbook etc. Have managed to get the internet connected and working ok, thanks to a post I found on this website. Am a cheapskate on pay and go but have the web bolt on which gives you "reasonable" access.
Seems good up to now, am a bit suprised though how slow windows is, it's running on wm5.
When I'm more used to the think I'll have a search round to see if Opera or some such other speeds accessing the internet up.
Will be back with updates no doubt.
Cheerio
Lyv
I don't think ANYONE will disagree, WM05 SUX!!!! Slow and laggy are just the first of many problems. WM 6 is better and finally WM6.1 seems to be getting built REALLY stable and REALLY fast. Would suggest upgrading to wm 6 AT LEAST.... Do however, as was previosly stated do some reading about upgrading and most importantly, Hard SPL your phone BEFORE rom flashing. It seems no matter how many times this is stated some yahoo knows better and thinks nothing can go wrong... They are generally found with posts like "ROM FLASH WENT WRONG...HELP!!!" (or like that). These are also the ones who just go gung-ho and upgrade without reading anything.. As per your posts I believe you have done some research so this sermon is for all noobs out there(and yes I too was one once) do some research, Flash Hard SPL and if need be, unlock your phone.... This will minimize risks associated with flashing. Dont screw around with your radio rom UNLES YOU REALLY MUST as this is the one thing that SERIOUSLY bricks most phones. There is no surefire fix. Enough bashing.
Really would upgrade to at least wm06 as it is SO much better than wm05. Good luck, have fun and Welcome....
Thanks ultramag for the info. When I get the confidence and spare micro cards I'll have a go at upgrading. Think I have a steep learning curve to follow yet tho'
Cheers

Hi chaps,
Thought I'd try to give something back to the community.
Just found a 8gb MicroSD compatible with the Tytn II for £20.99
Here
I don't work for them and hope this is not seen as advertising, just trying to save someone a few £££'s

Beat ya ;o)

Great deal though, using mine right now.
Fair play
Really disappointed. I need to use it in another phone and can't believe I can't format it.
Hopefully Newegg will exchange it.

Would a MetroPCS Samsung Code work? It has Windows 6.5 and I'm 99% sure has a MicroSD spot.
Not all WM devices can do it. Tilt is probably an anormally. My HTC Pure can't format it.

I'd give it a shot. You really aren't risking anything other than a little time getting it set up to test.

Same here!!! It ended up not working and I exchanged my Focus for a Captivate.
WOW. I'm speechless.
Once I rooted and put a custom ROM on my Captivate it seriously OWNED the Focus.
And I had to send my SD card in to Newegg for a replacement. WP7 is a failure.

I get a laugh out of comments like this. Another expert predicting the death of an OS. I wasn't aware that I was so blessed to have joined a group with such brilliant market experts. Thanks so much, I'll just dump my Focus now.
Can anyone confirm that the Tilt will successfully format the card? I read that the Tilt 2 won't, but can seem to find anyone who tried the Tilt.

Wasn't able to get my Tilt to even see it. As far as I can tell there's only one person on here who was able to get their Tilt to reformat it, whereas most people (myself included) failed.
I heard the Nokia N8 and the Sony Vivaz will format the card.

Don't know anyone who owns one and a replacement is already on the way. Thanks though.
nvm !
Meh
So it turns out that my Tilt-reformatted card must've been a fluke due to the fact that my 32GB Class 4 Kingston card flaked out on me. While I was able to successfully reformat that card (which worked for a day or two before causing the phone to become unstable), I was not able to do so for a Sandisk 8GB Class 4 card that works perfectly in my colleague's Focus.
As such, I officially retract my previous belief that the Tilt is a viable platform for reformatting microSDHC cards since it clearly isn't capable of formatting "locked" cards.
Hey everyone!
A week ago i bought a SanDisk MicroSDHC Ultra UHS-I - 32GB and installed it on my SGS4. It started right away telling me there was a problem. It said that the "SD card had been removed unexpectedly". It was installed right and I couldn't really move it around. After it was installed my phone began to become REALLY hot over the area where the SD card is and started to loose power just as fast. I have an old 8GB Samsung cad and it was in the phone before with no problem. No i can't use that card either as it also starts to overheat and even with no SD card in my phone i can't even get 10 hours of battery time on my phone. Even with little use.
Is there a fix for this or do i need to send my pride and joy in for repair??
Thanks in advance. Jakob
PS: Please tell me if you need more info about what happened.
No issues here, phone is idle for almost 2 days now with a 16 GB SD card mounted

I can't show you the error message as i don't have that card any more- I send it back and waiting for a new one. Thought my problem was with the card only....
The phone gets hot every time I use it. But REALLY hot if the SD card is in. By battery analysis do you mean under the settings menu or is there an app that can do that? (sorry for the dumb question)
Okay. Took a screen cap of the battery setting. I have now turned off all goggle "places" thing and i hope that will give me some battery life.
Anyway i can test the battery and see if it's okay?

I have the exact same card and have no issues. Try to format the card from the phone itself first before using.

Tried that. Didn't work. Although i haven't tried it with the old Samsung card. Gonna give that a go!
It sounds like the card is faulty. Try using phone for a day with no SD card in it and it should be fine hopefully

Which firmware is your phone currently running? I think the newer firmwares fixed the overheating issue due to memory cards.

Thats great to hear. I don't now if any newer updates have been rolled out for your region yet but MF5 is an update or two old now. Do check for new updates in general.

Thanks! Still crossing my fingers this was it. I still need to have a look at the battery. But right now it lasts a lot longer and it doesn't get hot any more!

Hi guys could someone help on my SanDisk 64gb sdcard? it always corrupting the files and music always missing after I reboot my note 3 I'm using custom rom X note. And also the pictures I transfer from my pc. I already try the sd fix but still no luck. I already try the manual editing the platform.xml but still no luck. And how can I flash wiping the internal storage? Is this possible? Thank you

What I understood is the memory card is behaving as read only which means adding files to it acts normally but after a short while its back to the same condition before adding them and if that's true please confirm it

Well, sorry to tell you but you have a faulty card only thing you can do is backing up your files and tell sandisk they will either tell you to send it and they will send a new one back or to break it and shoot a picture for it to proof honesty in both ways they will send a new one this issue happened to me twice last time they said they fixed the producing line which had this issue with both 32gb and 64gigs and i must say the last one (same packaging as the new 128gb card) worked so far so great the last 2 didnt continue for more than 2 months anyway they will replace it isA

No he didn't buy a fake Sandisk card. Usually Sandisk cards love doing this when it detects a hardware flaw in which it enters a state of read-only mode.
My 64GB UHS-1 Class10 decided to die on me that day, I transferred a ROM file over into my microSD, then when I rebooted the file wasn't there. As well as trying to reboot my phone after deleting 42gb of data, the data still remained, even though Windows explorer told me that it was deleting with fluctuating I/O speeds. Sandisk did a good job in failproofing this device so that when it malfunctions you can still grab your old data.
