Ok, I guess quite a few of us are now usig the MDA/XDA II and have made our experiences.
I think it is time to start collecting the different bugs and "features", so that maybe the guys here can start fixing them. Maybe even O2/T-Mobile or HTC might startt doing something.
I'll start with my contributions:
1) SMS: The SMS-Application doesn't copy the "+" from the phone number when you select through the contacts application. See also: http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3198
2) Bluetooth: Right now, this seems to work mostly as a marketing gag, considering the very limited profiles supported. The list of missing profiles keeps getting longer, including HFREE, PAN and others. In fact, it might make sense to collect the experiences of successful bonds in a dedicated thread.
3) BT-Headset: Even when it does work, the performance is shaky s you can see here: http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3548
4) Phone On/Off: Turning the phone on/off seems to have gotten less user friendly than on the old MDA. Now you always need to get out your stylus, which can be quite a hassle when you are standing at the gate getting on a plane - with your suitcase in the other hand. See also: http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3553
5) Google: Ok, this seems to be a problem on almost all WM2003 devices when I look at all the suff on the web about this issue. Still, it would be nice if it would work :wink:
6) Wireless Modem: Well, you would expect that they include the driver on the CD wouldn't you.
7. The MDA II closes open programms as soon as you open another large programm. Like a device with no memory. You cannot keep large programms open at the same time (e.g. Pocket Informant, PIE, Total Commander, aso.) , so they would be accessible more quickly if you choose them over an taskmanager.
Have a look at this, it would tell you something about this "closingbug":

Xda USB Modem driver
The USB modem driver *is* on the disk. There are no drivers for Serial, Bluetooth on Infrared.
ANyway, the infrared requires a public domain add-on to work...
Hi
It seems that my XDA II turns on spurious ( not often, but sometimes), which is not nice when having it in my pocket.
Does anyone has the same experince ?
Not sure if this could be considered a bug, but I have yet to be able to receive a video MMS sent by either a P800 or a Nokia 7650. Have successfully sent one to a 7650 though. On the UK O2 network.
sorry could not post a link !
but here is a hummdinger !
try the following hit the "Wireless" icon and note how long it takes for the dialogue box to pop up then hit the "Turn the radio off" hotspot.. You will notice much longer delays before it performs the task, the same happens when you have switched it off and then attempt to "Switch the radio on". A further prob is with the Volume control....do the following...call your voicemail "long" press the green phone key, now when the speakerphone is on , reduce the volume with the side "Slider" when it is at minimum try to increase it...it don’t work you can only use the stylus on the screen, if you allow, after reducing the volume, the dialog to disappear then try to increase the volume with the slider it works again, then if with the dialogue displayed you then end the call the dialogue will appear to be stuck on screen, and only disappear after about 10 secs...

same here. happens all the time and that´s not funny. Called O2 Tech Support and they said (of course) that i´m the first to report that problem. can´t really believe that.
it´s very annoying

Have you turned on the homezone indicator? Everytime your mobile phone changes the cell, the homezone indicator updates itself, causing the XDA to turn on.

I also have the problem of not being able to recieve a video MMS from a 7650, I phoned o2 support on Tuesday and they said they would look into it and call me back on Wednesday, Well its now Saterday and i have not had a call back from them. Its good to see they sill use the same calender where next day means we dont have a answer so we wont bother to call you back

Buffer full / crash on transcriber/Notepad
8.) Buffer full / crash on transcriber/Notepad
Waring: Maybe you should do a backup before you try this....
How to cause:
- Go to Notpad
- Change to "Transcriber"-recognition
- Start to enter by writing normal letter/words: >> ok, works
- Try to "fill/paint the whole Screen" without (!) removing the pen from screen: After some seconds the Buffer will be full, constant Signal will apear if you touch the screen again
- Regognition won't work anymore
How to resolve the "full buffer" (seems to be the reason for me):
- Soft reset, okay
BUT:
- Xda2 behaves unstable afterwards.
You might get messages like this:
"camera.exe is not a valid apllication"
"media player is not a valid apllication"
So you need a "hard reset" with all the data gone.
(Maybe a sync is still possible - I didn't try this yet)
Okay, maybe not a Killer-Bug.
But now it's impossible to hand over the xda2 to my friends cause' they know how to "kill" my pda
Don't know is it's a xda2-specific bug or caused by OS.

3 bugs?: text colour, letter recogniser, transciber
Great PDA - I've had an XDA for a few days and have been using it extenisvely (having had an iPAQH3850 for 2 years). The power of having a combined PDA, phone & camera/video is great. However, I've got a couple of problems. Anyone else had them or know how to fix them? (soft reset doesn't help- I haven't tried a hard reset yet):
1) Funny coloured text: some of the letters on the screen are brown rather than black. In particular the following letter combinations: 'in' and 'll'
2) 'Ghost' characters in 'Letter recogniser' mode. I write quickly using 'Letter recogniser' mode. Sometimes a grey outline of the character I've drawn stays for a fraction longer than I'd expect so that I end up writing the next character over the previous character. More noticeable in the 'numbers/special charcters' section on the right of the letter recogniser window.
3) Change of font/script when correcting words in 'Transciber' mode. The transciber mode is not bad at recognising my handwriting scrawl. However, if a word is interpreted incorrectly and I highlight the word and then rewrite the word, the new interprtation appears lowerdown on the line than the rest of the text (like MS Word's 'subscript')

But it is still a bug and I hope they intend to fix it, as it is rather interessting to know if I have contact to my homezone or not.
Hi
Got an other one. The alarm function seems not to work reliable. First I thought I missed the alarm due to much drinks the evening before but this morning I woke up before, but no alarm from my XDA. Instead when I turn the XDA on manually, it notified me about the alarm.
I also noticed it with a meeting.
I don't need an alarm clock I have to turn on manually...
btw... Is there some action to fix the reported bugs... either O2 or M$
new annoying bug
OK I just had a new REALLY annoying bug happen last night.
First i found that GPRS kept dialing up every time i diconnected it - i thought it must have been because ie was open in the background so i went and closed all runing programs but it still kept dialling up GPRS whenever i disconnected.
Then I received an sms but when i viewed it in Inbox, the parts of the stripy background that are usually white where really dark grey making it almost impossible to read anything on the screen... so i decided it was time for a soft reset.
but instead of soft resetting it did a hard reset so I've now got to re-install everything!!!!! :x
Pope,
The GPRS dial up could be to do with your network settings. In fact an awful lot of issues where the PDA switches on for no reason are probably that.
I've always found 'interesting' problems with ActiveSync where it switches on the PDA periodically (it's nothing specific to the XDA II as it also happened with the Fujitsu Loox and the Viewsonic V37). I always 'close' activesync (using vBar) when I'm not using it for this reason!
I recently spent ages with the XDA II trying to get it not to switch on after I'd set up a blue tooth link with my laptop. Had to change some of the network settings to stop it (but can't remember what) ... even 'resetting' the PDA hadn't fixed the problem.
re
Pope, I too have had a Hard Reset occur without knowingly doing it.
As far as I am aware I did not press the power on off button, when I soft reset, and it just did a hard reset.
I was having problems with an app that froze though, and just figured it was that.
Anyone else expereienced this ?
Cheers, Shire
I installed the upgrade at www.clubimate.com
Some noticeable changes after the upgrade:-
Fast switchoff of the phone, though u still have to use the stylus
The missed call red blink of the LED stays red (at least for the few minutes I checked) instead of turning back to green after a minute as in the past
The + in SMS is added when chosing from the contacts menu. I think this was a problem in the past
I had difficulty in installing SanDisk Wi-Fi software in the previous version. Went smoothly on the upgraded one.
membership??
I tried to sign up but I don't have the EMI whatever # ... any chance you can e-mail me this fix software?

Hello there!
Finally, I've got my phone rooted tonight. My only problem now is, that I cannot startup my camera without it saying "Camera not available" and also my 3g connection is constantly switching on/off. At first i thought about bad connection, but as I got home, where my connection normaly is very good, it fails. I don't know if it's because of my bad connection, but the "market fix" doesn´t work too..
At the end, I would like to say thanks for the rooting team for some awesome work!
And at last, can I check anywhere that "Superuser.apk" is installed ?? (I'm sooo noob - sorry!)
Phone wont boot
Ehm, now I'm really afraid! As I said, I'm kindda new - And when I tried to reboot my phone a black screen appeared with a x10 and an exclamation .. I've just tried google but.. The only solution I can find is to "Disable development mode", which I don't have access too
Hello everyone,
I recently bought a new S4 i9500 and like every android user moved between some roms - Arrow/Wanamlite and so ... and probably something went wrong:
1. The WiFi HoT-Spot isn't working, i can turn it on and other devices can connect but their internet isn't responding (like they're data is turned off), also happends on laptops.
2. I have a problem with my screen, its rotating all the time and shows me a digital clock on black backgroung (the same clock from the S View Case - http://cdn.gsmarena.com/pics/13/04/s...marena_102.jpg)
when i'm on landscape mode (games, movies...) its rotating back to vertical mode and shows this clock thing ..
it doesnt happend when I am on Flight Mode. I got a new sim, but its not it , also not an error with my celluar operator - cuz we have couple of i9500 and Im the only one who has it.
its getting annoying when it happens 30 times in 2 min. and I just cant use the phone that way.
its like fast blinking, for 1 sec. but it pauses games, movies, canceling keyboards and make the web page pop.
sorry for the poor explanation, its hard to understand num.3 without seeing it.
hope you understand anyway.
What's Wrong with my S4 ?
thank you all .
Roy.
BUMPPPPP!
Edit:
I Just Figured out that my WiFi Tethring issue was part of a 'WiFi Package' I should have operate with my cellular operator.
but what about my second issue ?
few days ago during phone calls the screen started to black out - after 1 hoursof first blackout, screen started to show weird behavior, screen was being touched on random areas - i turned on show touches from dev mode and it showed random multi touches on top right corner of scree. after few minutes the screen turned black and since then i havent seen any sort of display on my note 3. i tried.
1. removed battery - let it rest for 15 minutes - connected back - phone turned on fine i could hear all sounds and notifications even receive calls if i swiped at correct screen area, However no display
2. tried to access the phone in adb but it wont show in devices even though usb debugging is enabled and all samsung drivers are correctly configured.
3. made backup of all the files on phone using kies.
4. Rooted the phone and tried to access recovery mode but vol up + home + power just turns on the phone.
5. currently the phone connects to pc as a media device with usb debugging enabled.
i think if i am able to flash firmware again it might resolve the issue, but so far i haven't been able to find latest stock builds that i can flash using odin since i cannot do anything in recovery mode (no display)
Can someone guide me on how i can get the display back ? is there any way to access the screen using a standalone pc app without the need to install any app on the phone ? can it be hardware related issue ? the phone never dropped, im a very careful user. screen is scratchless and phone is in perfect condition physically. Any help or guidance will be appreciated.
PS. Its my first time posting a thread on a forum, i hope i didnt break any rules. I searched alot on forums for someone having similar situation.

2. To access via adb you have to grant the permission, once you connect phone in adb with developer mode (usb debugging) enabled, a pop-up will come asking for granting permission., once you grant then only you can acces it in adb mode.
*Sorry buddy, i don'y know about any app that can "access the screen using a standalone pc". (Google for it, You may found)
I guess it must be hardware issues,
But you can try out this:
Download the latest firmware from SamMobile or from SamsungUpdates website, and flash using ODIN.
Before downloading firmware make sure you download the correct firmware for your region (CSC)
If didn't worked, it must be a hardware issue.
Sorry.
Phone was in usb debugging mode before screen disappeared, now i cannot see the device in adb mode maybe because i need to change the connection mode to mtp, i cant do that , theres no display :S
Hello everyone!
I've problem with switching mobile data on.
I've tried many custom roms and i thought the issue was gone after a week of hassle-free experience, BUT...
yesterday i used mobile data for 3 hours listening to music by Tidal, switched data off and i went asleep. After awaking, i tried to turn it on and the problem appeared again.
What's the problem?
There r 2 symptoms:
1. - mobile data toggle button is active (LTE shown in the left upper corner of the toggle) when i swipe down notification bar , but not on status bar (there is nothing, not even “x“, when i have data disabled, so it looks like it's trying to connect to mdata and it can't). Overall effect: there is no internet, even though toggle behaves like there is no problem, quickly shows this LTE in the corner. Toggling on and off doesnt help.
2. - i practice a lot in the basement, where's simply signal void.
during this everythin-works-week my phone had no problem with finding signal after exiting the basement. now it takes a looot of time to find an operator.
Solution for both, whats also strange: HARD reboot. SOFT reboot doesnt fix anything.
Anyone has a clue whats going on with my phone?
(currently i'm on AOSP-OMS-7.0-20161111-lux-nickv)
