so reading up on this nfc stuff i get excited to start using it. trying to find kiosks ect...then to find out if there are any i couldnt use it anyway :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] audballz:
Well if you upgrade to Kit Kat rom you don't need this hardware (Secure element). Kit Kat should include HCE which no longer requires a secure element to use tap and pay according to this.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/google-wallet-updated-with-kitkat-nfc-host-card-emulation/

I'm using houstonn's KitKat rom and was able to download and setup google wallet, but can't get it to work yet. Not sure if the ROM I have is updated with HCE.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoominSVX:
So my girlfriend dropped her phone in a cup holder with water in it today. Everything works but it's getting hot, and I couldn't get to it in time to pull the battery and disassemble. It's mainly working, but gets warm and eats battery violently. Has anyone had any luck with the rubbing alcohol bath trick on one of these? I'm not sure how they may react. Some things are getting a bit more sensitive these days.

Side note... If anyone has a main-board laying around from an old busted phone or anything, let me know. She's not pleasant when she's disconnected from the facebook world. The sooner I get this done, the sooner my ear stops bleeding. :eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Put it in a bowl of rice with the bowl sitting on a heating pad set to high for 24-48 hours. Dont power on the phone in this time and make sure the battery is removed. Also ensure that its the phone getting hot and not the battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bock Abrams:
Yeah when my phone went for a swim, I dove in to the pool after it. I think I ripped the battery out of it even before I was fully out of the water. I had to let it sit in rice for two days until I could no longer see water between the glass and LCD.

And even then, I opened it up and scrubbed the motherboard down with a stiff toothbrush and 91% rubbing alcohol, I wouldn't suggest dousing the phone in it, though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoominSVX:
I've taken phones that people could only find by calling it and seeing it light up in a puddle and saved them two days later. The trick was always get the water off and replace it with something pure so iron and zinc deposits can't complete a random circuit. Rubbing alcohol baths and a toothbrush have been common here, followed by compressed air, and finally rice for a day. It almost ALWAYS works, but this one is failing. Maybe I'll just buy a new board. To bad because the phone is still beautiful.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
You could always buy a water sensor sticker off ebay and replace the one in your phone that is red then take it into sprint and just say its acting funky and you want it repl........ Wait, thats illegal, dont do that.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] BoominSVX:
I had a bad experience with some half breed store breaking her old phone and trying to tell me it was water damaged. After fighting city hall and just hearing "water damage", I took it apart myself, and what do you know... NO WATER DAMAGE! The guy tried to pass it off like water broke it when HE actually did. They stood there and told me that since her (previously working) phone was now dead, the only way I was leaving the shop with a working phone was if I bought a new one. I was furious to see it not show any signs of water, and after a few more calls, I took it to a corporate store and let them take it apart. Finally, the previous notes on the account were over-ridden, and retentions sent me out a replacement for 100 dollars. Three days later, I looked at craigs and found 4 of the same phone for 100 bucks (TouchPro2) and decided insurance isn't worth it. I've never looked back, and I can still even now buy a board or a whole photon for less than the insurance charges. Just missed one on ebay for 42 bucks, but tomorrow is a new day with new auction endings.

PS, She uses sprint as a family plan. I use boost on my epic, and now at 35 bucks a month, I've never looked back from leaving sprint. They can keep their BS insurance and false hopes of 4g. They charge her an additional 10 bucks a month for a "4g device", and we've never even been able to see the icon work. A year from now, she can actually upgrade to an LTE phone when the contract runs out, but until that, ....WOW cell phone companies really suck. I don't even think I should post this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommyvi:
Hi I got a Brand new Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, great device, everything is perfect only problem I got is that when I'm in Google Play and want to look at the screenshots of an app, and swipe between them the device freezes, then vibrates and sends me back to Google Play, sometimes it gives me an error message, I have done like 3 factory resets but it doesn't fix it, any recommendations?

Thank You
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommyvi:
Someone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
What version of Google Play are you on ? Have you tried Re-loading Google Play ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommyvi:
I'm on the latest, which is 3.9.16. I have noticed that if the screenshots on google play are in landscape, there is no problem switching between them (eg. Nova), and if I hold the device sideways, I can switch between the screens even if they are portrait screenshots with no problem, wondering if there es a problem with the screen size, everything in any other app is perfect, I tried viewing pictures on the IMDB app and works perfect is just when clicking the images on google play.

thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tommyvi:
OK, the problem is related to google play 3.9.16, I know because in manage applicationd I uninstalled google play updates so it went to a previous version, and it works perfect, the problem is that it updates by itself back to 3.9.16 and the problem comes back. any ideas? maybe a way to stop it from updating?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
You can use Titanium Backup to keep it form Updating. Or you can go into Menu - Settings - Applications - Manage applications - Market Updater. Then Force Stop it from there. But I think you might also just want to try the latest version of the Play Store. You can find it v3.9.17 HERE. The article has the Download links, and info on what's new.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wis3m0nkey:
Hi everyone,

Here is my issue, I'll try to provide as much info. Please let me know if any more info is required

Phone: Epic 4g

ROM: CM9.1

Modem: FC05 (previously EC05)

Market: Aptoide

I'm not using any google app on this phone, so no maps, gmail, gtalk etc.

Any app like Waze, endomondo, Runkeeper can't be installed or even if installed can't run.

I thought GPS is an issue but GPS test works perfectly.

So I'm guessing GPS + google is an issue?

I'll try installing gapps and see if that helps.

Has anyone had similar issue?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wis3m0nkey:
Yes as it seems,

I can install apps properly after installing GApps.

Now if anyone know how to get these apps working/installed without GApps?

but how to root new model of Wildfire S, i hv tried many ways but still not rooted my device.
[HTC Wildfire S] Asmaul001:
As far i know the stock rom is the best for wildfire S. Other roms are still with bugs.

If you root, it will void your warranty. But you will have the admin rights of your phone in your hand. And You can solve the internal memory problem by using link2sd or app2sd.

How to root it: Search it here. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] ravi.crown:
I hv search many method to root my device, but no success, coz every time when I flash recovery.img file it says main version is older update failed , someone says that this is 2012 model HTC has changed hardware,

Go down to your local best buy, you can purchase the invisible shield for the LGOG (Optimus G)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ilkinansr92:
Yeh i got one of those for my LG Opt G because they are awesome, still have one on my iTouch after 5 years and counting
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dbgeek:
This must be new, because as of Monday, my local Best Buys (2 of them) didn't have a single accessory for the LGOG.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] lazboyz:
at my local best buy has them...i bought mine yesterday....its really nice....i like it...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Infekxion:
Not a single one in my town. I did spend a lot of time showing my phone off because I'm the only one in town who has it. Anyone care to comment on the fitment of it?; this anti-glare Moshi wont even stay in place but it was free.

*edit* Found one. Nice fitment.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WA_Bob:
Put it on yesterday within about 2 hours of buying mine. (Took that long to track one down at Best Buy). Wend on easy and feels smoother than a regular Zagg. I'm quite happy with it! :good:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whoamanwtf:
At best buy the front only is 25 bucks on Zaggs site the complete body one is 25 bucks. Just fair warning to all of you!

Though you can get best buy top price match the front for 15
[AT&T LG Optimus G] reignlight:
Yes that newer shield is great but mine seems to have slight squiggles on the screen now and they may be permanent.... only had it about 5 days
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cloudraker:
Actually, the one on Zaggs site is not the HD. Zagg doesnt even list the HD version as of yet. The HD are always more than the original because of higher quality. Actually, im sure that might be objective, but to me it is. They just seem more clear, and they feel of them seems closer to the actual screen than most screen protectors. I actually Zagg today because i wanted to register mine for warranty purposes and its not an option on their site. The rep even verified for me that their site does not list this version, and that it will probably be another week before it does.

Now, having said all that, has anyone else experienced any issues with theirs scratching? I have the Zagg HD on my One X, Galaxy S3, and on the OG. Ive had them on my other phones since they day the phone was purchased and they still look wonderful. The one on my OG was placed on it the day i got it, the 3rd, and i actually peeled it off today because it is so scratched up it looks terrible. Im just wondering if maybe there is a manufacturing flaw in them or something.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Ilkinansr92:
yeh mine got a few scratches too
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WA_Bob:
I haven't had any scratches on mine yet, but I heard someone complain about that on another board. I'm keeping an eye out to see if it happens to mine.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xbutchx:
I went to best buy today and they had a bundle special. I got the Zagg screen & the Rocketfish case for $35.

The reason for the price difference is because the one at bestbuy is the HD screen, which will better compliment that beautiful display.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jonzr:
BTW, Zagg is having 50% off sale for CyberMonday, still going today.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Did the case fit?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MNDZA:
The Rocketfish case I tried at BB would not fit the ATT version.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bigstrudel:
Ghost Armor makes clear protectors for both the front and the back that are just awesome.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
12 bucks for maximum coverage (back, front, and sides) on Zagg using InvisibleShield with lifetime warranty is basically a "because why not?" deal. I recall paying 20 bucks some years ago just to have the front of my Inspire covered.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xbutchx:
No it did not. I bought it without having my phone yet and when I tried to put it together it was absolutely to small.

Returning tomorrow....on the bright side...with the zagg.com 50% off sale right now, I am ordering the full body for $12.49
[AT&T LG Optimus G] iceman99393:
Is the zagg LG optimus g for the at&t version without a doubt? They have sprint version listed and then just lg optimus g...thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
I was trying to determine if the LGOG kit they have listed on the website will fit the E970 so i tried calling Zagg several times on Monday but they never picked up the phone. I sent them an email late in the afternoon and have not yet heard back from them.

kinda frustrating that they had the 50% off sale but not reply to my inquiry. If I hear back from them I'll update this thread.

edit: was informed that the LG OG (the one NOT listed as Sprint specific) would fit the AT&T device. So i ordered a full body kit.

http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/lg-optimus-g-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Well the deal is off, so the price has reverted back to 24.99

But there are two sections: LGOG and LGOG (Sprint) on Zagg.

So as long as you order from the LGOG section, you should be fine.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] davebug:
Not enough posts to link it but if you use google and search "zagg invisible hd optimus g" you will find a link to best buys rewardzone mobile website for $20.79 use a credit card like discover to get 5% cash back on it as well.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Globalrebel:
I grabbed the ZAGG $12 deal and got it today. Installed it and I have to say that it does take away from the smoothness of the phone. I know it will be protected now tho, but it still kinda is a LITTLE annoying. I'm going to try and wait it out and see if I can live with it. If not, I may just goto BestBuy for the HD version and try out the feel of it. If its a world of difference, screw it! :) I'll just have them pricematch the front and have the standard on the back! :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jamesc760:
Bestbuy will not price match with zagg online store. I tried but no dice.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xbutchx:
I installed mine today as well. I actually like the feel of having it, especially on the back and sides, makes me feel a little more secure in holding it...doesn't feel like I might drop it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
I know it's been awhile since anyone has posting anything on this topic but I do have a question regarding a zagg screen protector. I just got this phone this past week and I'm confused about the screen sizes between the Optimus G line. I want a zagg for my phone but the one at best buy doesn't specify if it's for the att model or for the sprint model. Or does it matter? Any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: I went and bought one at best buy. It does fit but I think it is meant for the sprint version or the original.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
Nevermind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swimman2867:
Need some quick help here. I unlocked and rooted my gnex. I have done this several times before and with all my other android phones. As soon as I rooted it, I flashed the new 4.2 gapps package. Upon booting, the launcher would not respond and thusly I could not access my home screen or app drawer. I had to open my apps from the google now target on the lock screen. As I read more, I heard not to flash the 4.2 gapps unless you have flashed another rom.

So I went to chrome, dl'ed the cm10 m2 zip, went into rom manager and flashed the cm10 and 4.2 gapps again. Now upon booting, the cyanogenmod icon is bootlooping, and has been for the last ten minutes. I went back into recovery and tried the process again, this time wiping the cache and dalvik, to no avail...same bootloop.

Please help!

Also I did make a nandroid of the stock rooted rom, but for some reason, after flashing that, the cyanogenmod logo stilled appeared at boot...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr0xyw0rm:
U need to wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system(u need to do this every time before flashing a ROM) , do it like 3 times and re-flash ROM. Don't worry about ur photos, they r in the internal memory and u don't need to wipe it, so u won't lose them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Which file did you flash? You could've used the 'maguro' (GSM) one instead of the 'toro' (Verizon) one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swimman2867:
When you factory reset, the entire phone is wiped, no? And how can I factory reset from recovery?

I was sure to flash the toro file. I don't believe that is the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pr0xyw0rm:
Nope. Factory Reset doesn't wipe the internal SD. It should be located inside the wiping options(I'm using TWRP recovery). Anyways u should wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before flashing a ROM not just factory reset.

Got home from class, wiped cahce, dalvik, and data, flashed cm10 m2 and gapps 4.2. Everythings great and I still have my pics. Thanks guys

It was just taking that plunge of wiping data that was freaking me out. I had some pics that i absolutely could not lose, but after reading on it more, it makes sense that the wipe would not format the internal sd.

Thanks again!

So i noticed this on the stock rom as well as the new rom, which is the new synergy rom.

My question is, is there a way to make the app drawer in alphabetical order?

It appears that there in alphabetical order but are in three catagories. Until the downloaded apps, they just pull up as you download them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BiasedThunder:
Open Menu from your app drawer and select View Type, from there you can select "alphabetical grid".

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Korhaan:
Just finished porting my windows phone app Sequencer over to Win8/WinRT. Used MonoGame and SharpDx, and the port went very smoothly. I definitely recommend those frameworks for anyone looking to convert their XNA WP7 app to Win8.

Sequencer is a beat-maker app that lets you play timed sounds to make a musical composition. It can play pre-recorded instruments like pianos, violins, or saxophones and it also has a three oscillator synthesizer so you can make your own sounds. It is essentially the same app as the on phone, except the UI is scaled up to work on tablets and desktop PCs. So if anyone liked the phone version or has Windows 8 and would like to give it a try, please check it out. Also, it would be great if anyone has any feedback or any ideas for additional features. Here's the link to the app in the store: Sequencer in Win8 Market

Thanks for taking to the time to look at the app.

The thread you posted has a toolkit and instructions, including RUU's, designed for the Sprint Evo 3D and I don't believe it supports the Virgin Mobile Evo V.

[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
You can downgrade your hboot once you have S-OFF. When you get to that point you will need to change the CID in the android-info.txt file included in the hboot zip files from "SPCS_001" (Sprint) to "SPCS_002" (Virgin Mobile) or find versions of the hboot zip files that aleady have that changed. Here's a thread on another site that might help.

Your question made me do a little homework and I found out how to specify multiple CID's in the android-info.txt file, so if you need to change bootloaders any of the ones in this post should work on your phone.
