As someone linked to this seems tempting:

http://dx.com/p/bluetooth-v2-0-edr-audio-receiver-w-3-5mm-audio-jack-for-iphone-4s-more-black-120198

It's definitely gotta be the cheapest, and while only 2 reviews one does say it autoconnects. Sure hope it does.

What would you guys say is the best that:

- Autoconnects

- Has microphone support for calls (that doesn't COMPLETELY suck?)

I guess any bluetooth receive could be charged without issue... though I guess it's also nice to have one that is sort of "designed" to be used charged, so no real on/off type of thing...

Last week I was in a rental Chevy with full BT integration. That made me realize just how nice it was, and how crappy my hacked 3.5mm input + Belkin BT in my older Saab really was.

So I broke down, called Crutchfield and ordered a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X796 head unit with full BT, USB, Pandora integration, HD radio, CD, etc. It arrived today and I had it installed in about an hour and a half, including soldering up the wiring harness. $189 well spent, fun new tech and sounds SO much better than the old stock head unit that it feels like I have a new car! Excellent, proper hands free calling with an external mike even. A bit more finish work to do when some other bits arrive on Tuesday.

There are cheaper similar options, even under $100, that lose the HD radio and CD player. I really wanted the HD radio, though who listens to CDs now?

Four hour round trip tomorrow to see my sisters and a couple of my nieces, probably streaming Spotify the whole way, with Google Nav running and some calls thrown in for good measure. The full workout.

Of course, the Crutchfield rep sold me a new set of door speakers too. "These are good, and they're on sale!" I'll get to those later. Then I suspect I'll want to replace the rear speakers. Then the dash speakers! LOL

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrapnelx:
I've been using the GROM-USB2 with a bluetooth adapter for about a year with multiple phones with no problems. It integrates with many factory stereos. In my car, I can use the steering wheel controls to skip tracks, and the seek buttons on the head unit to activate voice dialing and hang up calls. It also plays the navigation audio over the stereo speakers. It's a bit more than the ones you are looking at (about $130 with the bluetooth option), and installation is a bit more involved, but I'm really happy with it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanu:
Hi everyone!

I just bought a Zenithink C93 (ZT283) and it was working perfectly.

It came with Android 4.1

The thing is that i downloaded a firmware upgrade and WiFi it stopped working.

I can't turn it on.

I tried downgrading to the previous (and older) firmwares, and still nothing.

After looking at the logcat, i found that it might be a driver problem, but i can't figure it out.

any help?

Thank you!!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mysticales:
Hey all, atm I use the stock rom, rooted for tmobile. (Stock rom isnt that bad for JB tbh.. to my surprise) However I just switched to ATT, waiting on my nano to micro adapter to come in so I can switch back to use it. Now as far as I read, I should have the 3g and 4g bands just fine, I just wont have LTE on ATT, correct? Next up, aside from using titanium backup to force uninstall TMOs software, was wondering, should I change out my rom too or is stock still cool to use for ATT?

That or what is everyone else doing if they took their S3 to ATT or tweaks that could help for network speed etc. That or apps that are good for ATT on it. Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mysticales:
Anyone? Or is there no tweaks or more ideal rom builds. Atm I mange to get 3-4 Mbps download speeds. Not sure how fast Iphone 5 gets.. Didnt test and dont feel like taking the sim out again tonight lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mysticales:
As suggested by the ATT S3 section of the forums, Ill put my post here too with more details on what I could be looking for.

Hello, Just changed from Tmobile to ATT. I already unlocked it, and am running it on 4G. Sad part is, download is only like 1-3 Mbps it seems. While my Iphone 5 can get close to 7 Mbps (Now this is just 4G band, NOT LTE)

So I am wondering if there are some tweaks I need to adjust in the build.prop or anything else. Atm I just use the stock rom thats rooted. (Since it seems nice enough for JB and honestly, I havent figured out which custom rom beats the stock rom 100% without losing any features.

Also noticed I cant install the ATT Visual voicemail as it claims device isnt compatible. (Which that I am sure I can use a build.prop edit for the model. Question is, which model and items do I need to adjust and to what value?)

Anyways, if anyone has some good advice about using the tmobile S3 on ATT and getting it tweaked to be the best it can be, or a rom that is perfect for switching between ATT and Tmobile (should I use my prepay tmo sim in it again) and provide high data speed. Would be great.

Oh also.. just so I know. Can I use the ROMs posted in this ATT section of XDA for the t999 tmo s3 or do I need to still only use roms from the tmo s3 section of xda? Thanks. =)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aussie88:
Not sure about the other stuff, but with regard to this, your phone is still a t999 no matter what carrier you are with. Hardware doesnt change, so I would recommend you stick around in the tmo section.

Some att ROMs may work, but not sure which, so if you DO want to use an att rom, I would suggest asking the dev if it will work for the t999.

Sorry I couldnt answer about the rest, im too noobish for all that :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mysticales:
Yea thats the trick, Seems its hard to even find that advice lol. I mean long as I dont use the international s3 roms. Just between Tmobiles and ATT. I dont know. I dont even know if its considered the same model and could use the same rom. Perk of using an ATT rom, may increase my network speed some along with being able to use their apps. Atm I cant use the ATT Visual voicemail since it says my phone isnt compatible. Which I know I could prob bypass that with the build.prop provided I knew which model to make my phone.

I want to go to the Recovery Mode . But my Galaxy W's Home Button is NOT WORKING . Other ways than the Button Combo (Power + Home Button + Volume Up Button) ? Please Help ?

Or can you share your Batch File (.bat) for going to Recovery . Thanks in Advance .
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] AdliHebat:
If you can connect to pc using usb and adb mode, you can type "adb reboot recovery" at Windows command line/prompt. (Must install Android SDK or adb in PC and enable android debugging in phone. Must be rooted? Maybe)

If using CyanogenMod ROM you can always choose to reboot to recovery using power button.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bANONYMOUS:
I've searched and searched and all I've been able to find is that if you use an AT&T SIM Card in a Bad IMEI phone while on AT&T Towers you get banned, but what happens if I'm using Bell in Canada after unlocking the phone? To buy one new it's going to be $847.45 after tax and I've been finding a few of these bad IMEI AT&T SGH-i317 ones online for around $500 or even less which makes this really tempting to save some cash if it's a little but more work.

What kind of problems am I looking at if I buy one? What happens if I travel south of the border because when I'm traveling Bell automatically switches to AT&T when roaming so would I be banned then? I still don't fully seem to grasp exactly what a Bad IMEI is but I'm still reading about it. I just can't seem to find anything regarding using a Bad AT&T IMEI on Bell in Canada with the ocasional roaming on AT&T while traveling.

Any idea's what would happen or how to get passed this? I wouldn't normally think of this route but the idea of saving $350+ is pretty tempting to figure this out if it works :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] htc fan89:
Why just buy one off kijiji ? And no it wouldn't make a difference as long you don't use an at&t sim card..and roaming should be okay since your still using an bell sim card....

It ended up being $768 to buy a brand new one it directly from Bell with a 1 year warranty so I just picked it up today. Thanks for the help though. I'll know for next time when I want a dev phone to mess around with beta stuff.
[General Questions and Answers] zrog09:
Okay, I apologize if this is in the wrong place, but I am a noob here. I used to have a rooted optimus v, I used gingerbreak for that, but now I have this Kyocera Rise. And for the longest time, I had no reason to root it, but now there are a few apps k want that require root access. I recently updated my firmware also (probably not good, I know). I have now tried so many rooting methods and none have worked yet. To name a few, I have tried z4root, superoneclick, the bin4nary script (or however it is spelled), a tweaked version of the bin4nary, framaroo, exynos abuse, and several other PC and app based ones. None are doing it for me. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out here. My Android properties are; Android 4.0.4, version 1.004vm, kernal 3.0.8, model c5155. Kyocera Rise. If this helps at all I know that it is almost identical to how the Kyocera hydro is as far as version and firmware goes. And there is also absolutely nowhere in my settings where it specifies what firmware I have. Thanks in advance for any help! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
The OTA for MA7 just came out today and it's starting to hit phones left and right. For those who don't want to wait for it we managed to pull the update.zip this morning.* We're posting it here for you to enjoy!

To flash this your phone must be on 100% stock LJC and unrooted. It can only be flashed through Stock Recovery.

WARNING: Some people are reporting issues with trying to flash back to LJC after updating to MA7. If there is any possibility you'd want to go back to LJC after this please don't flash it.

Download:

MA7 update.zip​

Instructions:

Download the ma7 update to your PC and rename it to "update.zip" (without quotes).

Place the update.zip in the root directory of your External SD card.

Odin back to stock unrooted LJC. Available here: http://rwilco12.com/downloads.php?d...PH-L900)/Stock ROMs/LJC/Full Restore/Unrooted

Reboot to stock recovery. The "Three Finger Salute" works best. Hold down Volume Up, Home and Power until the Samsung Note 2 splash screen displays and then release.

Choose install update from external SDcard.

The device will automatically reboot after a successful flash.

Once booted up, device will display android updating in a countdown graph.

Enjoy!

So this is an Official release from Sprint? Where if we go back to stock unrooted it will hit our phones?

What all does this entail? EEEK:D

THANK YOU!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Yes. This is the official OTA from Sprint. If you were to go back to 100% stock unrooted LJC you would eventually get the notification that the update was ready to be installed. This skips the waiting patiently step and lets you skip right to flashing. ;)

Once you're on LJC stock and unrooted boot to stock recovery and flash it from there.

I'm on stock LJC haven't yet rooted my Note just yet ... I downloaded the zip file tried it and failed.. received the OTA MA7 notification clicked "install now" and fails, progress bar gets about 1/2 way and stops..Scratching my head really. ... Anyone with this problem too?

Easiest way to Succesfully install this(imho);

D/L the ma7 update to your PC then rename it to "update.zip" w/out quotes of course.

Place the D/l on root of External SD card

Odin back to Ljc1 (you'll be updated to Ljc automatically)

Reboot to stock recovery (Assuming you know how)

Choose install update on external Sd card (once install is done, device auto reboots)

Once booted up, device will display android updating in a countdown graph

all set from there..

Hope that helps

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MaxGadgetGuy:
Thanks for the early post of MA7!!!

What I did was go from stock rooted LGC, temporarily unroot with voodoo root-keeper, then did standard recovery for this update, reboot and then used the Voodoo root-keeper app to restore root and I'm now on rooted stock MA7. This method worked exactly as the app was intended and restored root. I verified root in apps like mybackup root. Hopefully this helps folks worried about losing root.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skunk Ape1:
MA5 was just a leak and not official. MA7 is official. While I understand that's not all that important but there's a reason MA5 wasn't official.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] santos331:
Just wanted to let everyone know that I tried going back to LJC from MA7 and it gave me an sboot error while I was ODIN-ing back. Not sure what caused it yet but I was on MA7 rooted (used the note2 tool) and was functioning properly until I decided to go back to LJC. I tried running the stock_nodata from rwilco and it keeps failing on the sboot portion of the ODIN. I am trying a full restore now to get the phone back. the phone just displays "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery from keis and try again" Least to say I am kind of freaked out but hopefully I can get this phone back to at least LJC.

Ive had that same problem(firmware encountered an issue) coming from lk8 to ljc oddly I just switched usb ports and cables re did the process and bam
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] santos331:
I just tried what you said and switched USB ports and cables and it is still not working. Not sure what to do at this point but I am downloading stock_restore from rwilco and will give that a shot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaganit:
As I understand it, PRL write was disable in the previous leak? Is that also the case with MA7?

Secondly, will this have the same chameleon issues if reverting back the LJC?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Sboot deals with the bootloader so it may be there are some unknown changes in it. For everyone else we would recommend avoiding going backwards until we have had the chance to look at it closer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2k10MBC300SPT:
OMG!!! This is scaring me:(:(:(:(:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
Don't be scared! Just hold off on switching back to a previous build or avoid updating to MA7. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] santos331:
Yep, I would avoid going back at this point at all cost. I thought it would be a simple change to go back but I was wrong. I guess I learn the hard way. I was finally able to get back into my note 2 by doing the following.

booted up my phone to download mode

openned up odin and flashed a secured boot stock-alj1.tar from the note 2 toolkit.

it rebooted my phone and brought me in to stock recovery

from there I just reapplied the MA7update.zip from you and everything came back including my data.

I am not sure at the moment if there is anything wrong with my phone or if there's apps/google apps missing in there that I wont be able to access. As far as I could tell, everything is still working (including wallet) and it is functioning as it was before I tried to go back to LJC. I think everything is okay but hopefully someone could learn from my experience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rwilco12:
