[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rootuser3.0:
Some Verizon employee told me if I have a dumb phone add it to my account then it becomes immediately available for upgrade tona 4g phone since it was my own equipment then I can move that alreadyv activared upgrade phone to my unlimited line is this true? I thought if I add a line my whole account which has 3 unlimited lines all go into that share everything BS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eraursls1984:
You use the upgrade on another line but the line that originally had the upgrade is the one that gets the extended contract, but it will still remain unlimited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] textron:
There is another way to keep your unlimited data and upgrade your line. I am not sure how long term it will be but I upgraded my line directly and still have had unlimited data since Dec.

Alternate upgrade from unlimited data line to a line that is a basic phone, or has a tiered data plan. After that, switch the phones to the desired lines. Done.

Your friendly VZW sales rep.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] miketoasty:
Upgraded from a GNex with unlimited data to a Note II using my brothers line (He has a dumb phone) and although I had to select an alternate data plan (5GB for $50) next month I was still on my unlimited. I went through VZW's website through the whole process and used the "Transfer Upgrade" option to be able to upgrade. I don't know if I "Kept" unlimited data or if it will just take another month before it goes in to effect but I will take another month of Verizon's unlimited 4G!

Checked my plan online and I still have the option "Unlimited Web and Email - $30" selected on my line. Again I don't know if this means that I kept it or if it hasn't updated yet, anyone like to chime in and give me some info?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] billku:
I'm told that if the data plan change is going to happen, it happens right away, so you're probably good. Can't guarantee it obviously, but probably.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] terriermike:
I have worked for a premium retailer for going on three years. I can confirm that for the past couple of weeks at least you can keep unlimited data regardless of whether you're using another line's upgrade or even your own upgrade (and therefore extending the contract ON the unlimited line) as long as you have another line on the account that doesn't have unlimited...doesn't matter if its a basic phone or a tiered smart phone, or anything else really. We need this because we have to have a target line.

This is pretty nice because before, while we could keep the unlimited as long as we used a different line's upgrade, now it's letting us actually use the upgrade on the unlimited line itself, which it did not do before. I have even called several friends who I knew had purposely not used their upgrade on their unlimited line yet and many have now used that upgrade successfully. After all, you never know if this is actually considered a loophole and will be fixed.

And no, this does not require scanning in a basic phone first, the only phone scanned is the one you're buying and it is listed on the customer agreement, so we should be getting paid accordingly.

If anyone has any questions feel free to PM me. Heck, maybe I could even make a sale or two and ship you a phone if you don't want to deal with having to make sure whatever store you go to does this correctly...you never know how long the person has worked there and if they know what is going on. For instance we have a new guy and I always make sure to assist him with these types of things as eRoes can be a pain in the ass to use sometimes. (if this is not allowed, then scratch that idea! lol). I have 500+ FB on ebay so could even handle it there for buyer peace of mind.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bulvine420:
I have a friend that works for a premium Verizon reseller and she does this to keep unlimited. Add a line to your plan with a note 2 ring it up do a device only change to put the note 2 on your line then put a regular 9.99 basic phone on that new line. Its 10 bucks more a month but you have unlimited check your minutes and see if you can't go down to a lower plan to make up for the 10 bucks.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brsingr:
Is it possible to resize the boot partition of the stock nook boot partition to make use of SDCARD partition 4 on a 16 GB card that is used for stock nook on sdcard and having cm7.2 on internal? As in, Is it safe to do so?

This is my current partitions from the sdcard install of stock nook

the reason i want to is so that I can make use of the space for videos/movies and other data like TB backups.

also, on another question...is it possible to revert the cm7.2 to the way it was from installation (without other user apps, so a fresh install without actually having to reinstall the rom?). The 7.2 rom is on the internal data (EMMC).

Sent from my Nook Color on CM 7.2 KANG build
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Yes, you can achieve what you want, but not by messing with the partitions on the SD. You do it by changing a setting in CM7.

Go to my NC tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item B3 in the second post of that thread, "Using the same SD media...". It tells you how to use that big partition 4 with CM7 on internal.

And as far as starting clean with CM7, that is easy too. Just load CWM recovery either by internal recovery or by bootable SD to 'wipe data/factory reset'. That will clean all your apps and settings so that it is like a fresh install of CM7.2. Your ROM is not touched. If you don't have CWM, you can get that from my tips thread too.

[Asus Transformer TF700] 97prelude:
Hi guys, new on the forums.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello :)

Also, I just bought a TF700 for a killer price and he told me that someone (either him or someone else) tried to root the tablet and messed up. I've been told by the guy I've bought it from that it just stays at the Asus bootup logo.

Based on my reading from around the xda-dev board, the first thing I should check is see if Fastboot is installed/enabled. If so I should be in good shape and be able to restore the tablet, correct?

Overall I'm jumping into working with this tablet not knowing its condition so I'd like to know what my procedure should be to a) determine the problem and b) fix it.

Thanks guys!

[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
OK, turn off your device, hold volume down and power button, this should boot you into recovery, what do you see??
[Asus Transformer TF700] 97prelude:
I can't boot into recovery. All I see is "boot loader unlocked". I tried holding Power + Vol Down but nothing happens
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Not good...So with the device is OFF. hold volume down button first, then the power button next, you only see "boot loader unlocked" ? try to hit the volume up button twice and wait a bit, what do you see?
[Asus Transformer TF700] 97prelude:
I followed the procedure per your instrux. Still same result of "This device is unlocked" message in upper left corner. Pushed Vol up 2x, nothing. The device resets every 2 minutes or so.

That being said, I am able to boot into APX mode, however the drivers I found don't seem to be compatible with the device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 97prelude:
I think an issue may be that because of the fact that I'm stuck in this infinite boot loop the device never really turns off and therefore I can't get it into recovery. I think what I'm going to do is let it drain the battery and then charge it back up and try to get it into recovery mode off of a fresh power up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
When you hold volume up and power button during boot up what did you see?
[Asus Transformer TF700] 97prelude:
Blank screen, no logo, no text, nothing
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
How did you get into APX mode?
[Asus Transformer TF700] 97prelude:
nismmin series

Connected it to the computer, held Vol UP and power.... then i heard the conenction of usb device sound on the computer. Didn't install properly cause I don't have the drivers but in my device manager I see in other devices a device labled APX Device
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like it is hard bricked to me - no fast boot and no recovery. Only known way to fix is either presaved nvflash blob files (which I doubt you have from the info above) or send it back to Asus to replace motherboard.

Hi All! im currently running CM 10.1 nightlys. and always keeping them up to date on UK I9100. I have sometimes issues with signal drops, and after reading into it i gave GETRIL a look..

GETRIL tells me that i have a miss match. it tells me i have

RIL = I9100XXLQ6

Baseband = I9100XXLS6

running "Download and install" does its thing, but after update im left with a blank triangle for signal strength, requiring me to restore RIL backup.

Would this RIL missmatch be the cause of my signal drops? if so, how would i go about matching BB & RIL?

Thanks

[HTC One X+] daytontp:
I was curious if anyone has had or seen issues with the HOX+ USB port. I was at an AT&T store today and played with the phone, but noticed the plug on the display unit was messed up. I had to giggle or hold the charging cord in a specific spot for the phone to charge. I could tell this by the charging icon in the battery icon on the tool bar.
[HTC One X+] igraham09:
I know what you're talking about and I've only seen this problem with the cable that HTC sends with the phone. I've tried several other microUSB cables and they all connect perfectly. You also have to consider the fact that the display unit at the AT&T store gets used and dropped by everyone. This includes little kids and dumbasses who disconnect the cable and then try to jam it back in upside down.

TL;DR: Mine works fine. The only trouble I've had is with the stock HTC microUSB cable; others work fine.
[HTC One X+] superchilpil:
Yea I don't use the stock one, I have an Asus charging cable and it snaps in perfectly.

Slithered from my HTC One X+
[HTC One X+] daytontp:
Thanks, I mark it up to it being a display unit but I wanted to ask. The device is connected to one of those magnetic anti-theft glue on the back things. It has a non-HTC microUSB cable on it, like every other Android device on the shelf.

I really like stock Android, but I am considering this as a 2nd device. My primary is either an iPhone 4S or Galaxy NExus, and the SIM card stays in the Nexus more these days. Pretty funny for a guy that bought a 4gb iPhone 2G in August 2007 when they first came out, and I still have all my iPhones. I am pretty much using my iPhone 4S as a Podcast listening device, as I love Downcast. I am trying to make myself like Doggcatcher, but it missing a few things when it is compared to Downcast. Most of my interaction with software on my Galaxy Nexus is with apps from the Play Store, so some of the Sense UI stuff will not be that bad, I hope.
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Iphone 4S? Seriously, that or a Gnex is your daily driver instead of the HOX+? Ummm ok lol
[HTC One X+] NasaGeek:
Those are his current phones, I believe he is considering a One X+ to replace one or both of them.
[HTC One X+] daytontp:
My daily driver for calls, text, web, RSS, YouTube, Google+ and more is my Galaxy Nexus.

My use my iPhone 4S to listen to podcast and sometimes on WiFi to save battery juice on my Galaxy Nexus.

My AT&T sim card stays in my Galaxy Nexus 99% of the time, but I do carry 2 smart phones with me most of the time.

I am looking to get an HOX+ to replace the iPhone 4S, and I may get a 2nd phone line when I do. When the Nexus 4 is available for purchase again, I will get one to replace my Galaxy Nexus. I may also mess around with Ubuntu on my Galaxy Nexus in the future.

Hy guys!

I just found a jack to compozit cable in my cabinet. It has a Jack father and an RCA (red-white-yellow) father. I have got a pic, but Im new in here, so I cant link...

So, I just wondering, can we use this cable to connect the N7 to a TV?

I know, at the moment we can't, but why? Because the hardware limitation, or the android doesn't support this feature?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MegaMac:
As far as I know, you'd just be transporting the audio if you were to plug it into any device. You'd have to have an extra adapter to port the video through the yellow composite video cable.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smellymouse:
ok. Figured out why perseus kernel ran like poo on my device. I noticed on all my 3d games and sometimes on my browser, there would be be occasional stutter or a slighr but noticeable fps drop leading to a jerky stutter performance. even on the tw launcher I would see it here and there. luckily this awesome device has split screen. So I was able to observe the cpu LIVE as it scales. I ran tons of benchmarks and observed the culprit. While the phone is pushing polygons the cpu down scales to fast and way to much. it would bounce from 1.8ghz to 600mhz constantly. When this aggressive down scale happens then you see the stutter. At least I do. So... Here's the fix. Open Stweaks and on CPU SCALING scroll down to FREQUENCY FOR RESPONSIVENESS. Set that to 1.2ghz or above. Done. enjoy your stuttering free performance. Will this impact your battery? Not much. It just keeps the cpu fast when it needs the power. Once you let go of touching the screen then it scale down to below 1.4ghz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] honki24:
I think your "fix" may work but I don't think it is optimal. See Andrielux's original N7100 thread and you will see that he recommends keeping this parameter no higher than 600mhz because it causes issues above that. I think there are more direct parameters that can be changed regarding down scaling to fix your issue. You should post this on his thread to get his input as he is quite wise.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smellymouse:
yup. I kept an eye on it all day yesterday and with cpuspy I noticed my device was hanging allot of time at 1.2. makes sense. I'll play with it more today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smellymouse:
found a better setting change on stweak! You can leave everything on stweak at default and may change........

under CPU SCALING go to UP THRESHOLD AT FAST-DOWN and set that to 25%. Default is 95. Now using cpuspy I see all the clocks being used healthier compared to before where 1.2ghz was hogging up more. And the studder is gone. This makes the cpu hold 1.8. steady and not down scale when using 3d . try it and you will thank me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smellymouse:
Okay I can confirm it now. This is a good fix for the stuttering. my battery has not taken a hit at all. And it runs smooth. And to boot I'm getting a quadrant score on the 7600. this is the change.

under cpu scaling I changed UP THRESHOLD to 70%. UP THRESHOLD AT FAST DOWN to 20%. Under GPU I changed GPU MAX FREQUENCY to 800mhz. And it's UP THRESHOLD to 80%. Everything else is at stock. Now play with the voltage of the cpu to the lowest possible voltages. And you will be thankful.
