Sprint Touch Pro - 2 versions floating around? - Touch Pro CDMA

I'm on my 3rd Touch Pro, as I experienced GPS and Wi-fi hardware issues with the first two that I had. The first two I had I will call version #1, and the one that I have now (working perfectly) as version #2.
Although the boxes were identical, I have noticed a few distinct differences between the two.
Version #1:
- Velcro for the case latch
- screen protector was the rectangular one that was also boxed when I had my Mogul
Version #2:
- More durable velcro-ish material for the case latch, with different flex-strapping
- screen protector has cutout for speaker, and fits screen all the way down to the 4 buttons.
Which versions have you folks been getting?

i got version 2

I got version 2 as well.

+1, version 2 as well...

version 2 over!!

Version 2 - and no problems with the device

version two

how bout a +1 on v2

What's the build date for all of you who have the "version 2"? You can check it by hitting ##786#. Mine is 10/14/08 im just curious.

I have Version 2. Manufacturers date is 10/19/2008. Version one almost sounds like Mogul accessories.

damnit. v1 here.
Looks like i get to exchange it for v2. any tips on doing so (besides GPS not working at all)?

Build date: 10/17/2008 (v. 2)

other than the velcro and screen protector how can you tell the to apart? i have a build date of 10/17/08

My build date is 10/19/2008. I have version 2.
I beleive that BestBuy had version one because they came out a week before Sprint released theres.

I was fortunate enough to obtain 2 "Version 2" Touch Pros...

I have a build date of 10/17/2008 (v2?) with no problems except for the gps that takes a while to acquire satellites. It has been getting better with more use though which is strange.

10/12/2008 and V.2

V2 here and loving this thing, wow...

V2 Here. build date is 10/15 GPS lag and some slight audio problems that was fixed with audipara

[Q] Minecraft Pocket Edition

Has anyone been able to get Minecraft pocket edition working on the Tab 10.1 yet?
Its not even out yet.
yea, i actually just stumbled on to that. It was supposed to be released on the 29th but was held up due to a bug
Even when it will be released, it's Xperia-Play-only the first time! -.-

No, the Xperia version is already out. The Sept 29th release was supposed to be the touch screen version supporting most or all android devices. But then a Galaxy S bug delayed the release.
I just checked one of the developer's twit accounts and see he bought a Galaxy S device to help resolve the problem.
I don't know why they can't release it to all other devices and shut down the Galaxy S? There must Market options to not make it available to PowerVR devices.
Minecraft Pocket Edition is now out for most android devices. However, on a stock 10.1, it just force-closes on launch. I imagine that in the next month or so that'll get fixed.

Stock here too, the demo is actually build mode, except you aren't able to save your progress and half of the item inventory is unusable.

Yah personally, i refunded it pretty much right away. No options menu, no idea as to how to kick off building and while the interface is interesting, i'd rather have the full game. Costs too much for this kind of quality imho

Oneplus 2 released in China Today

The Oneplus 2 has been available for reservation on jd.com, a site similar to Amazon, in China for the past week. Over 400,000 people reserved the phone. A reservation allowed the purchase of the phone starting 9:30am this morning. I managed to snag one and should take delivery of it later this afternoon. I was a bit disappointed to find out that it comes with HydrogenOS instead of OxygenOS. However, I'm sure that can be rectified in the near future. I purchased the 64GB model for 2399RMB, about $385USD.
Anyone else living in or ordering from China managed to get their hands on one?
EDIT: It just arrived. The build quality is impressive, especially coming from an LG G3. The accuracy of the fingerprint sensor in my brief tests was good, and I like the ability to unlock from standby. Not a fan of HydrogenOS, but I can see that it might have some appeal to people who like a more minimalistic android experience.
i also live in china and thinking to buy it ,i am just curious about camera quality and how much different hydrogen OS from Oxygen OS?
@khr0n0s Please post Antutu Benchmark results and Camera samples.Also comment on charging time and battery life.
I was gonna buy this or the new moto X, was inclining towards the moto X which would release in September, but now I am thinking that I'll just wait for the new OnePlus phone coming later this year. A company executive said that that phone would be the 'premium' phone, and that u don't think they are gonna add more than 200 $s (which would add up to the same price as the 64gb moto X style) to the price tag no matter how Premium they make it. Also, it is likely that that one will have the snapdragon 820 and a 2k screen. I hope this one has no hardware issues so I can be much more confident in waiting for the upcoming one, knowing that it likely won't have much hardware issues as well.

@ali_ge - You might have difficulty getting hold of one. I was just lucky. They sold 30,000 units in 64 seconds! HydrogenOS is very simple and has no home screens / widgets. The phone boots up in to an app drawer with a large clock at the top. Not many options to customise. It also has no google apps, but that is no different to any other Chinese handset. There is an english language option, but there is still quite a lot of Chinese notifications especially in the bundled apps. I will definitely be switching to OxygenOS when a ROM becomes available.
@bhu1 - Has the premium one plus been officially announced yet? I read an interview with Carl Pei in which he said it would be more about style than specs, but it was very vague. Even if they do release it later this year, if they use the same invite system then it will be difficult to get hold of for a few months.
@vaisakh7 - I'm at work now without the phone. I can post the benchmark and sample pictures this evening. I don't plan to use the phone as my main handset till I can install a custom recovery and flash with OxygenOS. This makes measuring charging time and battery life difficult.

Well yeah. Bootloader can be unlocked even now.. The thing is that we don't have factory image of OxygenOS yet.. As soon as we get it, we can flash it via fastboot.. Or we have to wait till International Version of OP2 goes on sale.. Then someone can easily upload the ROM Zip and we can flash it after unlocking bootloader and flashing custom recovery (we will have to wait a week atleast for a custom recovery imo) ... Or we can still do via fastboot but that will require extra efforts...
So hope OnePlus releases factory images of OxygenOS as soon as possible.
Is it possible also to unlock all international WCDMA/LTE bands when flashing OxygenOS on chinese version?

You don't have to unlock anything as it works just fine out of the box. I also ordered a 64GB version from Aliexpress.
edit: ok, LTE bands B5, B8 and B20 is not supported, but it is not a big deal for me as I mainly use B3 and B7.
I'm curious about the Antutu Benchmark, camera output and battery life.. OP, if you could posts more details, that would be great..
@Mermaidss @Aisakh7 @riyadh - AnTuTu benchmark as requested:
Here are some sample images. I think the camera is as good as LG G3.
For comparison, here is a low light photo from the LG G3 running Cyanogenmod:
OnePlus 2 running HydrogenOS:
Both images were taken using default settings. The OnePlus 2 is darker but more natural.
Pretty good!

OP, please install this and let us know!
hopefully the oneplus 2 china version situation is same as oneplus one, the hardware was the same but the band support was actually controlled by the rom (the radio I assume).

The Hydrogen OS 1.1.0 is amazing- try it!

I'm a Chinese user of the A2001 variant. Hydrogen OS got updated this week to 1.1.0. I soon found that it is a very good build compared to the version that comes with the phone and Oxygen OS 2.0.0. Nearly everything is better: OPT is now buttery smooth, home key is more sensitive, compatibility improves and the temperature is cooler (battery life hasn't been tested yet). It's good to see OPT staying on the right track. Hope it helps regain some confidence.
If you happened to have a Chinese variant, simply go for the OTA. If you want to switch from Oxygen OS, flash the full package
https://mega.nz/#!8tczGAqC!J0zVOkdTfE6mq9wHE3raT1kimrOIqP-eNIfHbWcnW1w
and Gapps (I'm using Gapps mininal for android 5.x), then the supersu 2.46 for root access. Clean flash is advised.
Since I'm staying in UK, the baseband on Chinese variant are not working properly for me. Sometimes LTE signal falls down to 3G and never comes back. I flashed the baseband from Oxygen OS 2.0.0 (download link) and the problem seems to be solved. You need to go into fastboot mode and then
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
Enjoy!

I tried HydrogenOS for a day. The first build of 1.1.0 was a bit buggy, but I noticed that the 2nd build came out this week which I assume is much better. I find the lack of widgets and tray icons very annoying. I have widgets that I like to glance at which provide information without opening an app, for example weather and aqi. The tray only displays the number of notifications you have, not what they are. More annoying than that, if you don't set an application to priority, it doesn't even count towards that number. I changed the default SMS app and didn't even realise I had a message waiting as there was no tray icon showing when the tray was closed! They have gone WAY to far on over simplifying things and have removed functionality.

These are not things that should be unique to HydrogenOS. They should also be fixed in the next build of OxygenOS. What for you makes the Hydrogen skin better than Oxygen?
Innovations are never bad. Even if you do not like any changes, the flexibility of android solves anything. Install third party launcher brings back widget.
I agree that the axe of icon tray is 'annoying' to one who is used to how old android works, however this is a matter of taste rather than quality. While majority of the people reject the windows 8 for its lack of start menu, still there are folks enjoying the idea of an unified experience. That was where Windows 10 comes from.
Hydrogen and Oxygen are not likely maintained by the same team. Hydrogen keeps getting updated every week (to mimick the mode found on MIUI) or two while Oxygen is set to a lower priority. It is like a mainstream version vs long term support version. With Hydrogen you will keep receiving newest feature and improvments. Anyway, I was just recommending what's better at the moment. It does not mean that Hydrogen will be inherently better than Oxygen at any time.

i wouldnt call it crap cause there are things htc got it right, screen quality and speaker. But the m9 really gets uncomfortable to hold after 15 mins of light use (facebook, web, messaging).
the battery of this 1+2 is by far very good, much better than my n6. And its not uncomfortable to hold after long time of using, thats great.:good:
one thing i noticed after installing a kernel managing app is that the big cores are almost not used, and there is just 2 cores online at standby frequency (384). The LITTLE cores do almost (99%) of the work. But that could just be cause of my light usage, the phone performs better than the n6, so no complain
haha , just can wait for mine OP2

How did you installed H2OS? Did you flash it with TWRP, with the stock recovery or the Chinese stock recovery like the latest version of H2OS for OPO?

New LG G6+ love it.

Well, after about about a 2 week wait, my new device came yesterday, and so far, it's been a dream to use.
I was able to basically import everything over from my V10 (actually a backup from last week) that had stopped working (for a second time).
It's currently wanting to do a a kernel update (or something) so, while I'm scared, I'll let it run.
Prior to the update (which will be finished probably in an hour) these are my settings:
Model: LG-H870DSU
Rev: 1.2
Android Version: 7.0
Patches: 1 June 2017
Kernel: 3.18.31
Build: NRD90U
Software: V10b-HKG-XX
So, I'll let you know how it goes, but, so far, this phone is great. It's fast, camera works amazingly.
With the exception of the lack or IR port and removable battery, and this funny hybrid slot, it's very similar to the V10, but I'm thinking it's much better. Snappier and hopefully no boot-loops in the future.
The update version is: V10f-AUG-03-2017
Size: 755.98MB
Update Summary:
1. Phone Usability and functionality has been further improved.
Post Update:
Latest now since the updates these are the changes:
Patches: 1 August 2017
Software: V10f-HKG-XX
Camera still works. So I'm happy.
Installed this update on my G6+ today, don't know if it's me but my feeling is the phone is a little slower than before.
I am still waiting for my ordered nano-SIM to be delivered to fully migrate on my new phone. I will use it in dual SIM mode.
So I cannot give a proper feedback at the moment for a daily use of the phone.
Nonetheless I am pretty happy with the phone overall look and feel so far.
Enjoy your phone.
I updated H870DSU to fw V10j (HKG-XX) yesterday, OTA. Everything OK, all data & apps still there :]. Battery life seems to be a little bit better (compared to V10j), but it will takes a few days to be sure.
I have g6+ h870dsu on V10f-HKG-XX and I'm looking for update because of some bugs(battery drain sometimes, no notification of covering lens, always on sometimes fails to turn on). Is this version V10j (HKG-XX) stable? What about battery life, improvement of front camera, bugs? Is that version better? The front camera on g6+ is much worst than on european H870 version on v10j EUR-XX and my screen is yellowish vs European H870.

I haven't seen any bugs. No yellow screen that I've noticed.
Battery life is ok. Just don't have lots of things running in the background.
Front camera is not as sharp as the rear camera.
It works great though.
V10m-HKG-XX is what I'm on now anyway.

I think they do, Pixel 6 Dec patch was released 1 week after old devices (Which has not yet reached to mass - Source: https://9to5google.com/2021/12/20/does-your-pixel-6-have-the-december-2021-update-yet-poll/ ).
Android 12L beta 1 was released 2 days after the Dec patch for older devices, on Dec 8. And todays is 22nd Dec (more than a week after "so called" Dec patch release) but no sign of any 12L beta.
No comms or news about 12L beta as well, from google, for Pixel 6 series (apart from "Coming Soon" tag).
Regarding your curiosity: I bought pixel 6 just for regular updates and early access to newer version.

I have downloaded the december release over OTA after searching for updates. Then rolled back to november because of the problems with calls and now the december release is not offered any loger (if i search for updates).
I even think they have stopped it.
If the beta isn't today, I doubt we'll get it. Maybe we have to wait until beta 2.

I personally don't consider it as a mess up. Been getting Google phones since the Nexus 6 with the exception of the Pixel 4. I would only guess that there is going to be a few bumps in the road with something like 6 being that it is a whole new "phone" in sorts if you would call it that. Consider a new type of chip (not been tested much if at all), new fingerprint scanner (For Google its new and it SUCKS), a little larger phone AND I think a large portion of it is consider supply and demand with supplies with building a phone. Google has always aimed for the NEXT best thing, a sort of pioneer. I had the Pixel 5 and it was great for about 6 months then nothing but problems for me. My wife loves her 5 and doesn't like the 6. Although she can handle the little things that drive me nuts with the 5 and she can't stand the trade off for the 6, being larger and the finger print scanner that is limited to 5 unlocks a day before charging (due to the time it takes to get the hamster run fast enough on his wheel). This is just my 2 cents worth and not even worth that most of the time.
If you know of another phone manufacturer, that offers monthly updates (95%) of the time for a min of 2 years, Is vanilla android, and gets new Android versions 1st not to mention unlockable bootloaders for those who have to tinker, don't be greedy! I am sure there is a few of us that would consider trying another phone line up just to try if nothing else. Darn that is another nickels worth . OK I shut up now..
I will be happy to try beta 12L for my android tv devices. Most Android tv boxes are using out dated software.
But for the P6 it is a no for me. I just do not see any benefits for the P6.

Seems Google is struggling with pixel 6 series.
First the critical Dec release was delayed/not yet reached to many ppl.
Secondly, no sign of 12L beta on pixel 6.
All is not well with 6 series.

ATM not, maybe at this weekend.
Please write here if anyone install it. I have no WiFi for a third day, so I am thinking if installing 12L. Just want to be sure it's OK for a daily use. Main topics - how's WIFI, how's camera, how's battery life compare to regular 12 build. Thanks in advance!

I dont have those issues , if i had any i would allready installed it.
Maybe google is paying so much attention developping 12l that they forget to release stable android 12 updates...
I have already installed Android 12L. So fat Wi-Fi is working fine. Will give feedback after few days how's everything else.
