anyway wanted to just say hello!

Farewell T989 Community

While it's been a great year run, albeit with a few hiccups, it is time to retire my Hercules.
I can remember June 11th, 2013 as if it was yesterday. Waiting patiently for UPS to arrive (and eventually waiting until 10 pm, but that's another story). I received the package from HSN. It was my brand new T-Mobile Galaxy S II. After setting it up and then sleeping. I set off to root it! (No custom rom at this point.) I was surprised at all of the information I found here coming from the somewhat barren Optimus L9. I rooted it and immediately changed the DPI haha. Idk why now because that was the only time i ever changed it! About a month later however all the trouble started. The SIM card slot was broken (one of the pins) and I had to mail it in. So I did! Anxiously waiting for it to arrive again it made its way. I then re rooted and installed a custom rom... that night I was awakened by the sound of the phone rebooting over and over again endlessly.... the power button was suck.... I called Samsung (after trying the many fixes listed here) and sent it in..... it came back a week or so later... 2 days later.... same issue! So then I sent it back AGAIN talked to a manager..... they said theyd just give me a new one.... 2 weeks later it came back....... fixed but not new.... I slapped CM10.2 on it and was super happy. This would be the end of all the warranty issues finally! I then just flashed roms occasionally mainly from Hell Devs and enjoying my time in these threads. I almost crapped my pants when I had Kitkat for the first time . Here we are now though over a year later. Yes this device has caused me many headaches with its somewhat horrible battery life and somewhat odd FC's and RR's but this device is what made me love Android and know that by ditching my iPhone 4 I made the best decision ever! It is now time to say goodbye however. As I have just purchased my first current gen Android device. The Galaxy Note 3! I can't wait to see what lies ahead of me now with this great device and I hope to see many of you over there in the T-Mobile Note 3 Threads! I love you all and thanks so much for making my T989 what it is today, and for making me love android
ps - I messaged a mod about making this thread but never got a reply. I hope its "legal" to post this here, I really wanted to say goodbye and thank you I love you all!!!

I was there too. Have worked up the line through the phones and forums listed in my sig. Good times at each stop.

goodbye! take care!

There will be little activity by developers until Asus allows to unlock the bootloader.

I think Asus is generous.. Maybe we can request it to them by sending email requests on their pages/sites?

With such specs, it would be a shame if ASUS didn't release a way to unlock bootloader!
Did ASUS release unlocked bootloader for any of it's devices?

I don't know what u call interest but getting rooted system images, and all thats being talked about like DeesTroy waiting for Asus to get his, and Shakalaka and Sorg developing what we have by now. It's pretty difficult to get custom roms without an unlock bootloader or safe strap or boot strap. I guess it's just me but users are getting pretty impatient these days with things that they know nothing about.

I agree, people need to be a bit more patient and appreciate the time it takes for persons to assist an entire phone community.. In time things will be put in place once the right steps have been allowed...
Be thankful we were able to atleast get root and that's a big thing IMO..

so lets star this mission :good:

^^^^ this proves they are hoping some help from xda. Hope they unlock bootloader

when this phone was announced... I WANT IT !!
but now I have OnePlus One, and always have phones where we can make what we want, like Nexus, OPO, etc.... because even this asus phone is ultra powerful, he is locked, and can't install aosp roms .....
Because ASUS not comnunicating about bootloader unlock, i preordered an Elephone P7000 ! i love it too, but prefer the asus specs (but hate the power button on the top, WHY , JUST WHY here on a 5.5" phone)
I hope asus will release the bootloader before 20may, the official selling day of the elephone...
Before that, I already buyed a Motorola RazR, because nice and Motorola promised an unlocked bootloader after a month.... at place of this... they sell a new RazR DEV version with unlocked bootloader not usable on the normal version !!! Since this day, I never buy a phone with a locked one, even the compagny promise this ....
BUT the most important question for me : WHY blocking a Bootloader on an Android Open Source phone ??? it's just a potential BIG money loosing by loosing a rom flasher community ... i know insurance bla bla bla ... but i have android phones since my HTC Desire.... at least 9 Adnroid phones, flashing them more than once every month, and never bricked one .... peaople realy can brick a phone like this and cry with insurance ?.0...

I don't think the power button on top is a big issue. I never use it. Tap 2 wake and tap 2 sleep solve that issue and also prevents us from a future power button failure.

I use the power button. It's okay.

If it is like the Asus me302c tablet which had Intel inside then I wouldn't hold your breath. There was some chatter on some German boards but nothing much was going on.

Do Something For Us!

Hi Brothers, I AM Really Bored Of Awful Support For HTC One E9 Plus, Nobody Here To Help Us?!
No Developer To Port Some Rom For Us?!
Do Something Guys, We Are Really Bored...

I'm with you in this brother. But to be honest it's been over a year and a half since this phone was launched and no dev is paying interest. Even the HTC themselves have forgotten about E9+. We are still waiting for the promised MM update... for over a year now. Sad to say but i really doubt that anything will change in nearest future. Our device will face it's EOL anytime soon, so no official updates from HTC. If i remember correctly it was something in the line of 18 to 24 months since launch time. Basically if we don't get extrmely lucky that some dev port something, anything for this phone nothing much can be done. Other option is for a bounty - then some devs could get interested. But then again - there's nothing official from HTC to be used for a source so we would probably get an Lineage port. All that is pure speculation on my part. Except for the EOL part. If we don't get MM till may-june from HTC then all is lost.

I Can't Realize What Htc Is Doing! Why We Don't Receive Updates? Now, Every Phones Launching MM Or Nought, But We Are Still Forced To Use Lollipop, I'm Just Waiting For Lineage Os To Port For Us Their Rom, Not Htc To Release Updates!!!

New to moto z play

Hey everyone
I had purchased moto z pay about two weeks ago ,great experience but i have some questions about some issues with the handset just to make sure it's normal or what :
1- when making a phone call i hear some strong hissing(buzzing as some says)in total it's another sound besides the voice of the other guys on phone , not a very quit voice as i used to in any mobile , is that normal ? is it soothing related with my phone carrier service or 4G or 3G stuff?
2- when applying style shell- which are very awesome - i can found out that it could be moved a little if swipe it in left or right around camera lens something like little shaky or moving, not just stick to the handset and ever never moved unless you remove it , is that normal K i was told it is at seller but you guys have it so is it normal ?
last thing is just a question and not an issue
Motorola is giving full support and update to the mobile even if it was like 4 or 5 years later , in other word how long i will be get the latest android updates for life time of the handset or maybe 3 years and will get bored and it is out ?
that's everything i want to know till now , if i had any issues i will post it here
so thank you guys so much for your help and patience
many regards

Updates? Maybe 3 or 4 years. It's Z modell, so I think we should get updates very long. But I don't know.

1. I think it's your carrier problem. which carrier are you using?
2. If it's never removed unless you remove it, it's ok.
3. Not 3 years! It's a very long time period.
Device is currently running 7.0 and company representative confirmed that it will get 7.1.1 soon And according to sources It'll definetly receive Android 8 in 2017 only.
Cheers!

Are you sure that's android 7.1.1? Maybe it's 7.1.2

But I don't know. Nothing is sure. But you can later use custom roms very good on this phone, if there are really no updates anymore. But I don't know the update plans, just that we can expect all update to android O and all other we must be wait and see. But I think so because it's not a cheap phone. And because the Moto G4(much cheaper and older phone) get android O, too. So, Moto Z modells should, too. And security patches at least for 3 years. All other would not be nice from motorola.

Z is a Flagship series and every company tries to provide updates faster in their Flagship devices.
Also, Acc to sources Z Series will be the first to get Android O.
