I have tried several cooked versions of the 4..00.16 Eng T-Moble and the 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 roms and niether one installs the WModem app. Any ideas why?

I have a T-Mobile version of the PPC, radio stack 6.24

WM with old laptop computer

It worked for me. I could connect my oldish ME notebook computer to internet over gprs using WM in xda. I used the extra string from o2 and just changed the access point name.

It goes as this:

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn"

It works, but the WM just stops responding the moment you disconnect the connection from PC. The PC waits and waits for the confirmation and then hangs up saying no reponse. But as long as you are connected it works very well.

I just installed cm-10.1-20130306-NIGHTLY-t0lte to my AT&T Note 2 (sgh-i317) and so far everything seems to be working. Everything besides the GPS. I can't get a gps lock at all. It works fine when I flash a stock rom. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] LittleRedDot:
Try GPS Status from the play store and see if the antenna is down because of the rom or maybe you'll get lucky and get a fix.

GPS status and Note 2

I have been reviewing several of the potential fixes for the Galaxy Note 2, and GPS with CM10.1

I have used additional apps such as GPS status, or GPS Fix.

I have tried to turn off other radios on the device all except the GPS. This still did not pull a GPS lock.

The only other option I saw that I was confused about,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39761558&postcount=702

This post refers to installing a stock rom then getting a lock and rebooting into install CM.

I am really enjoying CM10.1 and would love to figure this out. I feel I have done a bit of research about 1-2hrs of searching forums and just am having issues with GPS locking for my device. I have restored to a stock I had before and locking works without an issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Have you checked in the official CM thread ??

GPS issues have popped up numerous times. ..and the thread likely has the answer. ..

CM nightly builds are often broken anyway. ..and bug report threads are usually a dead end if not pointed to Cyanogenmod or their teams. ..

Check the CM thread. ..and possibly revert to an older working build for now if GPS is required. ..g

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
My device fell down and now my camera misbehaves.

First all camera apps just crashed, screens black.

Then there were just still pictures, sometimes false color or just one color, like magenta all over the screen.

Sometimes picture split in strange ways, doubled and so on.

Now if I smack the phone with the top softly to some hard underground whilst the cam app is running the camera sometimes works.

Sounds if something is loose to me?

But I looked at disassembly on iFixit and I can not see any cables.

Is it fixable? What do you think?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowCodeGaming:
It is definetly fixable. HTC fixed mine, even tho i was running a custom rom, they didn't care. As for fixing it yourself: It has something to do with the logic board. I heard they could be quite expensive.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
Yeah sure the manufactor could fix it, but I have no warranty left and might probably be expensive.

Thought more about fixing myself. Logic board...yep guess the cam sits on it and I have to exchange it.

Maybe not worth it too :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] acPIZZA:
Why do developers develop their custom roms?

From what I understand, these custom builds take a lot of work in development time, and also in software support through threads on forums such as xda. All of the roms I have tried are always free, with the opportunity of providing a small donation.

My question is - what is the incentive for these people, who are obviously talented and educated people, to do this on what seems to be their own time?

Is it solely for fun? For bragging rights? For experience? What do you do for a living? How did you learn how to develop android?

The reason I am posting this here, rather than just taking to Google, is that I think it would be interesting to hear personally from some people on this board. Big time devs or people that just dabble, what makes you do this? Any insight would be appreciated. I just want to hear what some of you have to say. Please feel free to provide as little or as much information as you feel comfortable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xredjokerx:
I'm pretty sure it starts as a hobby.

Some devs do it for donations (rare)

Some devs just make custom roms because they wanted to do it for themselves (more likely)

Some devs form teams and work in source code because they have an idea of how they want the OS to look, and they have the ability to make those changes (likely)

Some devs keep doing it because of their reputation (less likely)

Some devs....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
For me, it's just for fun. There is nothing particularly unique about anything I've done, but I wanted to learn how things are put together, and I had a lot of fun doing it. The fact that people enjoy using the stuff I've made is just a bonus.

You did a great job with countershrike, loved it on the rez:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
Thank goodness for them. I can't imagine they do it for the donations, I'm sorry. Those that receive several work a ton on the rom and it's still such a small percentage of users. When you figure the time involved, you don't do it to get rich.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ForeverSupra:
Lol!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Marine6680:
I know in the early days it was done just to do it... for the fun and challenge of pushing the boundaries. There were few devs back then compared to now... and only one device. :eek:

It was a much friendlier time overall too. There was a little drama with a dev or two though... CM's receival of a C&D letter from Google was an interesting time.

Now the motivations of devs is as varied as the number of devs out there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] acPIZZA:
This is all awesome, but I'm also interested in what you guys do when you're not developing for these communities. Were you already into software and this is just a hobby as a logical extension of your job?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
I'm a software developer by profession, but it's almost entirely Oracle database development and not directly applicable to this. I'm a tinkerer and just like to take things apart to see how they work. My Rezound kernel project began entirely because I wanted to get a better grasp on kernel internals, and my proudest moment in that project was being the first person to port the ROW scheduler to the Rezound. My first ROM was an answer to the major instabilities of ICS AOKP on the Rezound...a lot of people wanted AOKP, but couldn't run it because of the hotboot issues, so I tried to pack as many of the AOKP style features as I could onto a CM9 base without destabilizing it. I wish I could say it made decent donations, but I've given more in a single donation to a single developer that I've ever received combined, but I'm not really upset about that. TBH, the only reason I put a donation link up in the first place is because someone asked me to. It still surprises me every time I actually get one, and it still surprises me when someone calls me a dev...I don't feel like one.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] deputydog95:
I'm sure there's a hundred different reasons. I'm glad they do it regardless. The stock roms suck. They're slow, are loaded with bloat ware, and are always way way way behind what the nexus has.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vohrana:
I had the stock 4.1.2 rom on my i9020a nexus s. I then wanted to downgrade to 4.0.3. My phone is rooted and i have SU and cwm recovery.

I downloaded the wrong rom (i downloaded 4.0.3 rom for i9020T) and i flashed it. I found out i flashed the wrong rom afterwards.

Now, i can't boot the phone into recovery, i have lost SU and cwm recovery. I've even tried using adb shell -> su and it did not recognize it. When i tried using bootloader into recovery, an android with a red exclamation mark just showed up.

I have even tried to use fastboot to flash recovery and it just gets stuck at 'waiting for device'. I am 99% sure i have all the drivers installed too

Is there a way i can fix this? I tried to flash cwm recovery again but nothing happens.

I have a nandroid backup of the original 4.1.2 stock but i dont know how to restore it if i am not able to boot into recovery. please help!!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Psychotacon:
I'm not sure where to put this and I apologize if it's in the wrong section, but I only see forum sections for specific phones and I have an I535 and others have posted bill questions in their respective phone section.

I had a Verizon rep explain this to me but it sort of went over my head. When increasing the data package during the billing cycle (this is what the rep said), the way it works is they credit me for the full price of the talk/text/data plan that I've had for the duration of the billing cycle so far, then he did some math based on each day in the billing cycle, which I understood, and that equalled how much data I would be allotted for the rest of the billing cycle (what didn't make sense is why they calculate it that way but whatever), and would charge me for the entire billing cycle on the upgraded plan. Thus, I would be charged the difference. This makes no sense to me. Why not charge the difference and label it?

So I looked at my last couple of bills to make more sense of it and I noticed something. On my second to last bill, it shows a credit for the amount of the 4 gb plan, a charge for the 6 gb plan, and a charge for the 6 gb plan a month in advance. The following month (the latest bill) however, I was charged the normal price for everything. So, where the hell did that advance payment go? I've called twice today and been on hold for over an hour both times..I just don't have time to waste on hold. It seems like everytime I call VZW their automated line says they're experiencing unusually high call volume. Maybe if they made more sense out of their billing processes they wouldn't have so many calls. I don't know, I'm ranting. Am I missing something?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eng_asa:
Hi guys,

I have been having a very strange color banding problem with my GTab10.1 for a while now (images attached).

Here is what happened so far:

- I flashed a custom ROM after buying my GTab (ROM --> Task650) - the ROM was great and the GTab worked flawlessly.

- After the screen started to have a 'flickering / scrolling' problem (similar to this Youtube video).

- At that time, I thought it was a software problem, so I flashed a couple of ROMs (custom and stock) and another kernel (I don't remember which one was it). The problem was not solved ... I also accidentally deleted the system backup that I made before flashing my first custom ROM!!!

- After googling for a while, someone suggested that it could be because of loose connections or something. So, I opened the tablet and found the problem -> a defective LCD flat cable!

- I ordered a new LCD cable and replaced the defective one.

- The 'flickering/scrolling' screen problem disappeared... but instead, I had the 'color banding' problem!! The color banding appears from the moment I turn on my GTab (even with boot animation).

- I did a lot of search, but with no avail. I tried to flash several other ROMs, stock and custom, but none fixed my new problem!

Could this be a bad kernel / screen driver / etc? is there a way to fix this?

Any help is much appreciated

Still looks and performs much better without it. I'm happy i removed mine.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lloydbf:
It only breaks warranty if the damage is a consequence of you removing the film.

Meaning if your screen shatters you can't say I want a replacement because you removed the protective layer (but you wouldn't get a replacement even with the protector on anyway).

Total baloney, loads of people removed theirs from other Xperias and had no trouble whatsoever. The Z is no different.

Glad I did it, screen feels so much nicer to the touch.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakalek:
Yes, screen feels a lot better. And... Phone looks better too, which is why i bought it partly for. For the look and design. (+performance too) :highfive:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonneil:
Nothing there that is not already obvious, if you remove the film and then drop the phone causing the screen to crack of course it won't be covered under warranty, but then even if the film was on and the same thing happened, that wouldn't be under warranty anyway.

The only slight problem is if you do as they say and break the waterproof sealant while removing the film and then decide to drop the phone in water, but you'd have to be pretty clumsy to remove it that viciously!

So if you want the film removed go ahead and enjoy the different look and feel, I'm pretty sure most of us are going to be careful with our phones all the same :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
I'm just curious as to whether anyone thinks leaving the film on might slightly reduce the chance of the glass cracking to start with.

I doubt it, and if it did surely the difference would be minute.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadlyDazza:
Drop with layer = contained crack, replacement via insurance.

Drop without layer = crack & shatter, replacement via insurance.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
Read with understanding...

They will not repair your device if you take it off and damage the phone in a way that is a direct result of that...

If the internal hardware is faulty, they won't look at your screen and repair the phone.

If you'll damage the screen though ( crack, broken glass pieces damaging the screen itself etc ) and have the film removed - they'll most likely deny your claim.

If you decide to take a safety measure off - don't blame Sony if you damage this particular part. It's obvious, it's understandable, it's perfectly fair.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadlyDazza:
Dropping & cracking a screen isn't covered by warranty anyway.

It's accidental damage, not faulty equipment.

Therefore, removed or not, it's a repaired screen or replacement Z either out of your own pocket or via insurance.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Corny:
Guys you are missing the point here. If you break the screen with or without plastic film warranty won't cover repairs in either case, but it will be much easier to shatter screen without protective film. Same amount of force which is enough to shatter unprotected screen won't be enough to shatter screen with film on it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kallb123:
I thought the film had no effect on its force resistance, just that the shards if broken will be kept safe and not shatter everywhere.
