1. Toolbox is awesome. kinda like Sammy's version of Halo. Can be enabled thru settings or quicksettings.
2. Idk if this is new or not but TouchWiz messaging app has a cool quick reply popup.
3.Take better pics with "Picture Stabilizer" off and ISO on "Auto".
4. Enable call notification popups and in call status popus, from the call settings. Both awesome features.
5. One handed fingerprint.
6. DL Booster enabler/alternative.
7. Check out power saving mode and new options for it.
8. Long press recent soft key will bring up the menu on most apps.
9. Enable developer options and change transition animation scale to .5x or off.
10. Go into S-Voice and disable double tapping home key to open, now your home key will be much more responsive.
Feel free to add to the list!
Long press recent soft key bring up menu within apps. On homescreen will bring up home screen options

Can you eloborate on #2 a little bit. I've heard about this but can't seem to figure out how to enable it. Is it supposed to be like LGs sms pop up?

Go to the stock TW messaging app... settings... notifications... and then enable popup display!
Here's my one handed fingerprint scan technique:
1) Hold the phone with the pinky supporting the bottom of the screen.
2) Rest your thumb over the home button at a natural angle, with the upper inside corner of the home button touching in the middle of your thumb.
3) Flick your thumb downwards.
4) When setting it up, make sure to slightly vary your angle and speed each time. If you use a consistent speed and angle, it will only register that specific speed and angle. You are given ten examples per finger -- take advantage of it.
5) To increase my chances further, I mapped the same thumb on two profiles. The third one is for the same thumb when I'm holding it in my other hand.
The results are very accurate. 90% of the time on the first swipe, 99% by the second, and 100% by the third.

If you don't need the waterproof cover over the charging port it is easy to remove:
Remove the back cover
Remove the screw on the left from the charging port with Phillips 00 screwdriver
Pry the piece of plastic under the removed screw.
Remove the charging port cover.
Reassemble in the reverse order.
This procedure doesn't expose any internal components, there is no way to damage anything, even if you are clumsy.

The rest of the phone is still protected, and you will be able to store that flimsy cover for the times when it will be needed. I'm not sure it will remain tight for long if opened and closed every day. It is easy to reinstall the cover before a beach or camping trip.

As I said, this is a matter of security vs. convenience. Not everyone is art risk of a spillage at all times. I've had cell phones for over 20 years, and never had a water intrusion problem. In fact I don't think I eve lost any electronics due to a water damage. Also many people have extended warranties or insurance policies that cover water damage. I think that the risk is miniscule, and the cover is irritating. Samsung probably thought about it and this is why they made this cover easily removable.
This is not an iPhone. You always have a choice.

Hello, does the macro function (the switch near the lens) really work? I tried several pictures and can't see any difference between normal and macro.
I notice that I can't put the switch fully to the top (to normal mode) but easily full to the bottom (to macro). Maybe it's dispositioned and therefor it doesn't reach the macro function internally?
Works extremely well for me. You are trying to use it in a macro fashion right, ie trying to focus on something say < 15cms away?

This is sheer carelessness from your last repair. There is nothing broken on the camera zoom just that the back has been placed on and the catch on the casing has missed the toggle arm on camera. A simple 20 sec job which you could easily do yourself if it weren't for that VOID sticker. Give your last repairer a good talking to.

If you mean the little sticker on top of the screw next to the camera on the right, this is already broken, by the HTC repairer I assume...
When I unscrew the back (4 screws) then I will be able to repair it myself you think? (first find the appropriate screwdriver).

Yes it's an easy fix as there is nothing broken inside. Get set of phone screwdrivers from maplin or such like. Open phone bottom end first needs just a little bit of easing out as there are pop in connections all around. Tilt bottom edge up and with a bit of judicious wiggling it will pop off!. The problem will be immediately obvious. There is a small "arm" on the camera that fits into the movable macro switch on the case.
Easiest wat I've found to get them to match up is move both lever and and switch toward top of device and place back on by moving it straight down onto phone (not at an angle). Before putting screws in check switch moves fully and in good light you'll actually see lens and black ring moving in an out. Once full screwed up (forgive expression) you may need to press a little on top edge to get case to return fully into position.

Many thanx, it works again!!!
As you said I lifted the bottom, played with the switch and it fell into place!
First I tried to remove the whole cover, but at the cameraside it didn't get off that easy and I was affraid to damage something. But then I solved it without lifted the whole cover. SO I'M VERY HAPPY NOW!!!
(by the way, is there a trick to get the whole cover off? Not that I want to do that at the moment...)

Knew you could do it, congratulations. The back is fiddly, it helps if you have the tool that looks like a flat blade screwdriver with a slightly bend tip - meant for providing a little leverage to pull the case out enough to release the click in clips. A blunt knife could also be used if you want to go down market. Steer clear of a sledgehammer though!

Hi,
just another question by a lam3 user
After some day using my tytn, i noticed that the keyboard is very loose, just after locking it under the lcd.
to explain better: video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj56htWOHEk
as you see, the keyboard is very loose just after locking it.
My device id is 640, so it is affected by some keyboard sliding problems(is a v1605)...but my question is: There is something i can do to fix this?
i tried to tighten the screws i signed here
but without significative improvement.
this is a minor issue,i think, but if i can fix it my tytn will go better in my huge hands
however, no problem if the fixing procedure involves to remove the warranty sticker up the screw, the tytn is on italy and i do not think that vodafone uk will change it
many many thanks
gtazok
The screws you've tightened are just for the housing. To make the keyboard tighter, you need to take the device apart
These 2 links explain everything you need:
http://michael-channon.spaces.live....BlogPart&_c02_owner=1&partqs=cat=Hermes+Fixes
http://www.howardforums.com/showpost.php?p=9119842&postcount=1
Good luck!
underneath your main board is 4 screws tighten those and you should be set. If not you may need to by a new housing. I hope the tighten helps though.
omg, this will really need to open all the device!
damn, there is no other way?
I couldn't really tell from your video if it is the standard loose keyboard problem you've got, but my keyboard was loose in the way that when closed it could 'fall' open pretty easily.
I used the guides above, and while it does invalidate your warranty (unless you're able to remove the warranty sticker without breaking it), it is very easy to do and put back together.
my problem is, as shown on video:
when i try to press the power button, i apply some force to my forefinger to tighten the grabbing around the phone.
when i apply this force, the upper part of the phone(the part where is the buttons of mail and iexplore) slide off the housing, and go for about 2 mm (as shown in the video).
i will like to tightnen this, to do that the phone will never slide the keyb without apply *Decent* pressure.
the keyboard,however, stay solid when fully opened, and *decent* pressure is needed to restore it from the full opening to housing closed.
was i *almost* clear? i'm very sorry but i understand that my english is a mess and really confusing, but if someone could guide me, i can do photo, pictures and so on.
thanks
gtazok
Yep, that sounds exactly the same as my problem!
The 2 links above should help, as long as you're happy to take the phone apart. If you are willing, it is pretty easy to do, but will invalidate your warranty if you still have one.
A couple of taps on the indents on the sliders with a screwdriver will make the sliders much tighter, and you can test the tightness before putting it back together.
I went a bit overboard with mine and overtightened it, but now I prefer it that way -there's no way the keyboard will slide out without some effort

great, that was exactly was i searched so!
but..a couple of taps...i have noticed that the indents are "stamped", there is the possibility i will break it with too much force?
and, for opening the tytn, where i can find all the needed in one pack? i live in italy, but i have no idea of what screwdriver and things must(and where)buy.
maybe there is some omnicomprensive pack that could be shipped to italy without problem.
many thanks, i appreciate much
Gtazok
The metal is quite soft in the sliders so it is possible to hit it too hard, but I don't think you're likely to do that if you start softly and keep testing the slider tightness until it's right.
The only 'special' screws are the ones holding the case in, but they can be opened pretty easily with a small flat screwdriver. From what I can remember, the screws inside the phone are just small normal screws.

Okay If you do tighten those screws it will help that. I've seen them to be soo bad that if you tilt the device it slides open. Soo basically if you still under warranty send it to your provider other wise follow this guide.

HI!!
just managed to re-close my hermes (first time i closed it without inserting the last cable LOL...i forgot it, but before powering off he comed to my mind..omg what i have risked not plugging last cable before closing??)
however, i did manage do disassembly only with a standard little screwdriver, not without problems
i just arrived to disassemble the keyb, and get rid on the rails.
I must admit that i NEVER have seen so much dust in a phone(i think mine was re-assembled from another).
i have extracted the rails, the 2, and tried to gentle tapping the indents.No way to go, i tapped *gently*(sometimes a little hard) but i really noticed no improvement
so,i thinked:
"if i change the rails, i will have a perfectly mirrored situation, with the keyboard closed it will be ok, with keyb opened it will be a little loose"
(remember, the keyb was loose when try to open it, not when to close)
So i changed the rails, switching them...
and now it's really better, the phone rarely go off his housing, closed, and go down a little more easily(but is acceptable, because i never do any "forcing" when it's open..)
maybe, with time, the opening will become a problem, with the keyb sliding to close when it's open.
However, maybe this not occour.So for now i'm happy
last thing. I noticed that on the page where the man tried to adjust the rails, he suggested
1)to tap the indents( tried, work very very little)
2)to insert pieces of ribbon
i not tried the second suggestion, because i have not understand WHERE to insert those pieces.Maybe he was suggesting to insert them at the end of the rails? where the carts block? if it is, why? i tried to pull up the small piece of "sheet"(i don't know if it's the correct term, sorry for my bad english ) on the border of the cart where it don't block, but whitout results..so inserting ribbon what improvement would have done?
thanks for the patience to read all my messed up english and many thanks

I think you just need to increase those indents a bit more than you did. It is more successful to tap the indents using a small flat blade screwdriver and a small hammer. (Go easy of course and keep testing as you tap. You want a very firm click into place. You should hear the click and it should be really quite hard to move the slider over the indents using your finger tips)
The tapping technique is probably better than just pressing a screwdriver blade onto the indent. Pressing rather than tapping is likely to simply bend the entire metal strip and curve it slightly. This might improve the grip for a while but as the curve gradually straightens out again the slider will just become loose again. Using the tapping method I did mine well over a year ago and I have never had to redo it and it takes a very firm push an audibl clicks to open the device.
(Buying new sliders will not solve your problem. The vast majority, it seems to me were made withy too shallow indents. It may be worth buying new ones if the micro welds have sprung apart however)
Mike
hi
i dismantled my hermes one more time. This time i put out an hammer(a big hammer,indeed)so i "gently" hammered with a flat screwdriver the indents.
result? the keyb is now "really locked" when i open it..but the opening problem remain.
when i try to open it when it is closed, with my finger, i notice that the slipping of the upper left part(seeing the phone from the front) is EVER too loose, i reopened 2 times and tapped "not so gently" the incriminated indent, but i noticed no result. i also tried to exchange the sliders (the lower with the higher) but no improvement was done.
i think that is a defective implementation, because the "centre of pressure" is located in the upper part of the phone, so the phone is like to open more easily when it is closed. Did anyone noticed that?
however, the overall is increased, i think, about 30-40% more tighten as before, and that is no bad.
shame it has no solved my problem, but life it so bad that i can will be live happy with a little loose tytn
thanks

I agree that my the upper left keyboard slider has always been looser than the bottom...
good, that confirm my idea.

Hi Guys,
I bought one of these and as "good" as it may seem, just warning you off, or at least giving you notice.
The magnet affects the phone and operates the screen by it's self.
Well, that's a little miss leading. What it does is I think, is tell the phone that you have opened the slide.
So depending on your settings, whenever you attach the phone it will either unlock it, open the dialer, read your sms messages or start pressing the soft keys.
Apart from the ridiculously poor delivery (1st class postage arrive 7 days after shipping. A parcel from US came quicker" ) that I don't know whether to blame on them or Royal Mail, I must of got the one adapter with no bloody adhesive on the back! Industrial sticky tape needed, that's if I decide I can live with the unlocking!
*mods* Really sorry, I didn't notice the "accessories" thread. I only hang out in this one, I've only just noticed it.
Sorry to hear you are not very happy with this, i've had one for a while and i reckon its one of the best i've had. as well as being small and discreet the magnet holds the pda even when driving down dirt tracks and over speed bumps.
The magnet does occasionally set off the quick list but it has already been mentioned on this forum that it is activated by magnet it just depends where you put the adapter
i dont know about you guys but im keeping magnets well away from my device.

Do you have a Dual then? Where is your strip to attached the magnet?
After a bit of experimentation, if you place the strip horizontal just underneath the camera (in the center) then the magnet wont set off the phone!
Now I've fixed it with my own tape I'm really happy with it!
i've got mine right in the middle, covering the orange logo, after playi g with it a bit last night it seems to depend a lot on how quickly you move the dual towards the magnet and whether you go staraight towards it or come in from an angle. one thing i havent tried is disabling the quick menu, will give it a go later as i never use it anyway
How in the world are you supposed to reliably remove the battery cover on the Imagio? On the first one we purchased at our company we struggled for 5 minutes with the manual and accidentally got it to open. Now I have my second and have been working on it for over 40 minutes and can't get the stupid thing to come off. After 5 years of working on mobile phones, I'm being bested by a battery [email protected]?!
In shear frustration, right after posting this I pushed up on the cover while prying it backwards and got one corner to pop off. I'm in now, but still curious what other people's tricks are to get it off reliably.
I'm using the end of the stylus to pop open the back of the phone. If you use the wide end it seems to pop open pretty easy, once it pops you can then take your fingernail and slide around the back of the phone to remove the cover.
I don't know what it is either... sometimes I get it right away and other times I end up yelling obscenities for about 10 minutes.
I've used a penny to open it (insert and twist), but it dings the plastic if you're not careful.
I had to exchange my Imagio, too. The cover on the first one was just getting worn down to the point where I could open it fairly easy, and now I have to start that process all over again...
I usually don't like to use ActiveSync, but I would rather deal with that than try to get that damned cover off.

x2 That's what I've been doing.
Yes I tried it and it works better than anything else but still not easy to get off I am always afraid I will break it
Mine is so easy to remove, I wonder if you guys are even talking about the same phone "Imagio???", I use my finger to pop one way and another to push the other...easy enough.
Hopefully you guys have a screen cleaning cloth, one of the small ones for cleaning your monitors or other device screens.
What I do is put that over the area where the slit is....then I use a Dime and insert it into the slot. I then rotate it until I here the snap which represents the back separating....at that point I can insert my fingernails and pry it off.
This wont damage the back and makes it easy to pry off. Hope it helps.

Do don't be fooled, it is a ***** do get this damn cover off, although I will not complain because it makes it feel like a one piece device, sturdier and tougher.
Once you've popped it off a couple times it loosens up. I don't have any difficulty now opening it, I just give it a little pull on the notch and the top right corner pops out.. from there I can get under it and open the rest of it up. I don't open mine very often but my real worry is that i'll wear down to the point where it won't stay closed.
hold the phone with one hand facing your palm, with the other put your palm on the middle of the back and use your pointer finger tip/nail in the slot to pull it open. I tried this the first time and have never had a problem opening it with ease since.
Remove the battery cover is the hardest part of the phone. In fact, this is my biggest problem w/ the phone.
I'm currently using my right thumb finger nail. Slide it in near the volume and it's open. Worst case scenario, the back cover is available at VZ online store for $15 or so.
I have used some of the tips to get the cover off a little easier but this is the most difficult cover I have ever seen to get off.Thx for the cover tip

This is exactly what I do with my phone. I've tried a lot of software so sometimes the phone hang up and I have to do a soft reset. Up to now, I've opened the back cover about 30 times and now it's much easier for me to open. You should practice several times then used to it!
You don't have to take the cover off to soft reset the Imagio. You can download Singh's Tings-Soft Reset v1.00.cab and you can just push a button in the Start Menu to soft reset the phone. Or, you use the power off button to soft reset the phone. You power off the phone, then push the power off button and the phone restarts.
Simple.
Take your Stylus out and , place the tip back in stylus hole and pop the case open, works great. With your fingernail slide it around the case and it will come right off
Why are you taking the back off so often? With a soft reset app I haven't taken the back off in weeks. In the PPC forum a guy posted his fix - he drilled a tiny hole right over the soft reset button so he could reach his stylus in there without popping the cover off. Crafty!
Put your palm halfway down the back of the Imagio and then use the top of your fingers to pull out the top. While pulling press your palm into the back gently. Works perfectly.
I gotta say, I have terrible manual dexterity and I can manage to get the cover off without too much trouble. Maybe it's harder on some of these phones than others.
does any have any idea to remove HD Mini's battery.
I tried the way which HTC provided but it's really hard to remove.
i just found a easy way to remove it and guys if you have any better idea please kind share it.
Here is what i found the way to remove cover:
1. Hold the device on hand and
2. slightly press/push the uppper screw (either left or right side )and you will find how easy it is to remove battery from device.
Hahhhhhh....you're a savior...
Thx so much for the tip, it saved me from a painful experience every time I try to open the cover...
Cool
Wonderful method!!!
I just slide my nail along the shut line between the cover and the chrome part and it opens itself, easy and smooth

Yeah! Same here. That's the way I always do.
Pushing the designer-screws or the back-speaker are the best way to open the cover without risk of scratching. Thanks for suggesting these methods.
Haha,thanx man...This is not metod recomanded by HTC manual..With HTC instructions i try to open...damn..more than 10 minutes This one is great and easy,thanx dud...
Pushing the speaker works well for me !
I have a good suggestion;
Stand with your feet about 50cm's apart, hold the phone upside down in your right hand, extended arm. Make sure that the surface you stand on is firm, i.e. like concrete or hard wood. Release your grip untill gravity takes over.
Presto, your phone cover is now not only opened, but also you can retrieve the battery easily from the ground.
If you are lucky, the SIM and SDHC card also pop out!

I have a good suggestion;
Stand with your feet about 50cm's apart, hold the phone upside down in your right hand, extended arm. Make sure that the surface you stand on is firm, i.e. like concrete or hard wood. Release your grip untill gravity takes over.
Presto, your phone cover is now not only opened, but also you can retrieve the battery easily from the ground.

That's the method I'd use with an iPhone, but not with a great Mini
