If anyone needs i've to disable sms to mms conversion used this method - http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2012770

installed apk and Xposed framework

then installed the Disable SMS to MMS Conversion apk(http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/mi...ion.1/viewfile), enabled it on the xposed apk and works like a charm.

I've tested this methods and it's proven to work. Although read a lot before you flash because flashing something not proper will easily soft brick or even hard brick your device. If you have doubts, put them in the correct place for the effect, or just don´t flash.

All credits go to the devs of XDA and the people of the hardwarezone.

problem rooting Galaxy Note II GT N7105

I tried rooting my Note II cell phone (android 4.3 version) with Chainfire's autoroot and it seemed to root ok; anyway odin 3.07 passed it after the root was finished. I then tried using the app mobile ODIN pro 4.2 upgrade to android 4.4.2 which seemed to accept the rooting, and followed directions given on internet. I checked the enable eveRoot, inject superuser, and inject mobile ODIN, did not check wipe data or dalvik cache (as per instructions). Everything seemed to work and the new firmware v4.4.2 was installed ok. However, a check of the root showed it was not rooted.

I tried installing root explorer and it confirmed a lack of rooting. Also when I tried to rerun mobile ODIN, I received as error message that Mobil ODIN could not detect device model (although the device is shown in the phone settings). The GT N7105 seems to work ok as an unrooted device under android 4.4.2. I saw a post about mobile ODIN not detecting device so I installed chainfire's superuser from googleplay (as suggested in post) but this didn't work. Is there anything I can do at this point to successfully root it?

I wondered about the option of doing a stock reset using the phone settings, and then run everything again (?)

Live link to 4.1.1 ROM

Thanks for this info, very helpful :)

One thing you might want to add is a link to Firmware files that are actually still live... I've spent SEVERAL DAYS searching through the forums here and elsewhere looking for a 4.1.1 ROM to roll back to, only to be frustrated time and again by 404 errors on Sam mobile, or redirects to completely unrelated websites from those posted on xda forums. The only place where I found a ROM that worked was androidfilehost... I'd post the link myself but I'm not allowed apparently! To find it I googled N7105XXALJ3 / OLBALJ1 MM1 Singapore and went to mirror 1 on tsar3000

With this 4.1.1 ROM I have FINALLY been able to network unlock my phone to use with any sim after rooting and using Odin Mobile to flash the ROM without problems (btw Odin Mobile was definitely worth the £3.89 fee from the play store, and once purchased you can reinstall as many times as you want)

I'm now running Cyanogmod 12 and am very happy with the results! Thanks to all at XDA forums who have taken a complete noob from zero to hero (in my eyes anyway... I'm well aware that I still know nothing really). I will also add that the installation instructions at wiki.cyanogenmod are easy to follow for anyone who wants to give a new skin a try :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rxrox:
Hello, I'm currently on Sprint, recently received my Nexus 4 and set myself up on T-Mobile prepaid with a new number. I figure I'll try T-mobile's coverage in my area before I close my Sprint acct and port my number over. I live in Bergen County, NJ and work in Manhattan, NY. So far so good in both areas, but I've noticed signal loss in buildings in NY.

What options would you recommend for me if I decide to go full T-Mobile and I want to keep my current #?

Should I just port my # to T-Mobile? Any experiences/issues you've faced? Will I have issues if I choose to switch to AT&T at some point?

Should I port my # to Google Voice and map my T-Mobile # to GV? I don't think GV handles MMS...anyway to get around this with another app? This option would cover me if I decide to switch to AT&T.

I'd appreciate any experiences shared and advice given. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] USSENTERNCC1701E:
I ported from sprint to t-mobile with no problem. T-Mobile will give you a temporary number while they port your current one from sprint, they say it can take up to a week for calls to the original number to go to the t-mobile phone. For me it took about two hours before all calls and texts were coming to the t-mobile phone with my original number.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] redincali:
Hello Xperia users. I got my TL yesterday, but I'm still waiting on the micro sim. The Sony site has it for $29.99 with a 2 year contract, new or existing att accounts. I came from an Xperia X10, which I loved, that still is better than some androids on the market.

So I had to get another one.

I haven't found much information on rooting, recovery, or kernels. I assume because it's new? Or are all the T models the same and use the same guides? I'm on build 7.0.B.1.152 but I see talk about builds for A, not B.

If anyone can point me in the right direction on what I should do next, please link me.

Ok this is what I've done. I installed flashtools and the drivers, then did root. I want to flash cwm next. Do i have to do anything after that? I don't have much internet at the moment so I'm not planning on getting a rom to install yet, but want to be ready when i do
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LastQuark:
That's it. Just make sure you are rooted, Superuser or SuperSU works, and CWM works and you are all set.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] redincali:
Ok thanks. I wasn't sure if i needed to flash a kernel. I just installed the cwm. The phone restarted and i press the volume down continuously but it goes to a black screen and restarts the phone. Did i do something wrong? Also, my phone was at 95% but after it restartedit shows 86%. Thank you LastQuark and Spectre51 for your help.

One question though, can i tether or do i need a custom rom to tether without at&t knowing? I used to tether my x10 to my tablet without any issue, but if i used a pc then at&t would message me about it. Thanks again. Xda community is always the best.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] redincali:
Ok so i looked through the install.bat to see where everything was going, system/local/tmp. So i checked there and found that all the files had 0 bytes. Then i extracted the files from the zip on my phone and ran the sh install file manually. It restarted my phone, i tried going into recover but still nothing. It just went black and restarted after vibrating.

After that, i opened the chargemon file to see what was going on. I noticed the calls for busybox so i installed it from the store and then installed busybox with smart install. Restarted the phone and tried recover again. It worked! So I backed up my current rom.

I deleted all the at&t bloatware I didn't want, but each time i deleted one, my phone would restart. This would happen whether i used titanium backup or manually deleted/moved the apk. Is this normal for the phone? My x10 didn't do that.

Has anyone had their phone reboot mid-call? Mine has done it once a day... for the past weekish.

I'm rooted and am running Perseus alpha 27 kernel... I have a few minor cosmetic mods too like toggles, some CSM edits, but nothing else different.

Could this be caused by the kernel? I'm not sure what to do to troubleshoot this issue... it is hard to reproduce the problem so, I'm not really sure if there's a specific line of events that trigger it. All I'm sure of is that it always happens while in a call.... no other times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mad383Max:
Load a different kernel and test to see if that is it. Have you overclocked or messed with voltages?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] holycow1:
I loaded the newest version of it... im hoping that does the trick. I set the voltages to stock. It was overclocked. If it still occurs, I'll post back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] holycow1:
Newest version of the kernel with normal voltages and over clocked to 1800 and it happened again. Any suggestions on what to do next?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] JGGW:
try not overclocking for starters and bring the phone as baseline as possible to eliminate variables in trying to identify the cause of the problem.

Well after much deliberation I decided to make the jump to the Maxx HD. The M, while awesome, just can't get me through a full day of work. I really wanted a phone that I could push all my email, run everything and still have battery when I go to bed. My friend has the Maxx HD and gets just that...

The M has been relegated to my Mom, as the wife decided she wanted the iPhone 5...

I've been impressed with my M thus far.
[Droid RAZR M General] stanlalee:
I could see making the jump (or just going straight there) if battery life were poor but I guess for me coming from HTC phones where the largest battery I ever had was 1620mAh I feel like battery life of the M is fantastic! The small size and form factor is far more important to me than HDMI out, internal storage, 720p screen or huge battery. Perhaps if they had made the Maxx HD more powerful/faster I'd be more intrigued but as is its just a bigger uglier version with huge battery.
[Droid RAZR M General] Notrega:
Of course your milage may vary and I agree with your assessment of the M...

Coming from the Thunderbolt the M was fantastic and the battery life was awesome in comparison. But I found if I used heavy during the day and didn't top it off and I had to go out after work I was pushing the limits. The form factor of the M was great also, same size screen as the TB but better, lighter, and thinner.

The Maxx HD, while bigger and uglier than the M is the beast I was looking for. I was tired of having to carry extra batteries with the TB and having to be conscious of the battery on the M with heavy use. I was really tired of having to disable features to get a full day of use.

I plugged the Maxx HD in last night after 16 hours at 39% with almost 5.5 hours of screen time. On 4G all the time, no wifi use, pushing 2 email accounts, streaming some music, reading RSS feeds, some YouTube, and some web browsing... I can deal with the big and ugly.

Sent from my XT926 Vanquish
[Droid RAZR M General] christpuncher:
Seriously if you're on your phone non stop then yes the battery will die. But the m has the best battery life I've seen in two years (as far as phones I've owned). I don't use smart actions, I have WiFi on at home, I have GPS on all day, auto brightness, and I get a day easy. If you don't get at least 15h then you're using your phone excessively.
[Droid RAZR M General] Notrega:
I use my phone for work and average several hundred emails a day and i am on call 24/7/365 so yeah I am on my phone a LOT... I don't consider it excessive the way I use it. I am not playing Angry Birds or watching Netflix for hours at a time, but then usage I describe is what I do every day...

If you are happy with the M great, I am just adding perspective for heavy users that need a device to go the distance with out having to cut corners...

Sent from my XT926 Vanquish
[Droid RAZR M General] Proda:
You use your phone too much :)

Then there is no alternative for you. MAXX HD is just perfect choice.

I use not more than 2.5h of display on my phone so I guess RAZR M should fulfill my daily needs.

I hate Motorola because of its "we are not unlocking our bootloaders" policy, but they make awesome phones.
[Droid RAZR M General] armchairbear:
For me, the Razr M is a good compromise between size and battery life.

I was tempted to get the Maxx because it was relatively thin, but still its too wide for me.

Although the M's battery life isn't as good, its still better than most phones out there. I get 20 hours on the M easily. That's more than enough for me.

[Droid RAZR M General] christpuncher:
Because receiving hundreds of emails a day on your phone and expecting a full days battery is realistic.
[Droid RAZR M General] mgerbasio:
I was ready to ditch my M and go with the Maxx. I use about two hours of phone time a day, some email, text, browsing and I'm not near a charger for about 10 hours a day. My battery wouldn't get me through the day. I bought a morphie from Verizon.

After spending a lot of time monitoring the battery and searching the net for solutions, finally found my problem. I disabled google latitude updating my location and my battery life nearly doubled. With the phone just sitting off charger and very light usage, I'm seeing about 1.2%/hour. I don't even worry about my battery during the day anymore. On a typical day I'm well above 20% by the end of the day, usually in the 30-40% range as I recall. With two hours of phone time plus I'm in and out of signal areas and weak signals, I'm very happy with the phone's battery.
