[HTC Amaze 4G] bhtm:
In an unexpected twist, my work gave me a new Galaxy S4 a few weeks back. I ended up selling the LG to a friend (whom I'm trying to convince to join the XDA LG Optimus G forums/community, and try out the ROMs there, mostly because I wasn't allowed too, lol).

Man, I hate Touch Wiz and Samsung bloat. I'm not allowed to modify the phone or the IT department will shoot me. It does benchmark really well, and the LTE "feels" faster than on LG. But I still find myself using the Amaze for regular app use, even if though the S4 benchmarks so much higher.

So if you like Sense and don't like TW, stay away from the S4 if you are looking for a new phone. But do get an LTE phone if your area has it, the difference for me is amazing.

Since this last post the number of new ROMs on the Amaze is impressive. What a great community!
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Just curious, why won't your work let you modify your own s4? :confused:

And thanks again for your generous donation to sports everyone should be thanking you now lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] bhtm:
Sloppy grammar on my part. Work owns the phone. The gave it to me use for work.

After all the rave reviews and benchmark numbers I was expecting to stop using my Amaze. But the amaze with the latest Roms is a pleasure to use and I hardly notice any difference from a performance point of view.
[HTC Amaze 4G] SuperAfnan:
Our amaze is still kicking :D.

hi,

im new here and don't own an xda ii yet. a friend of mine will purchase one for me from O2 UK and have it unlocked so that i can use it at home (philippines). the question is - will there be any problems with this in terms of OS/ROM, software or usage.

what will be the advantages if i'll purchase one which is sim-free - say from singapore.

thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jos:
No, there will be no problem at all with upgrades.

Just buy the cheapest you can find.

All the other info you need to unlock, do ROM upgrades etc, you can find on this forum.

Grtz,

Jos
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] fnbatjed:
thanks jos.

i guess i'll post some more questions once i got the unit.

Thanks
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparklekid:
Hi,

I just installed Cyanogenmod 10.0 and it's working perfectly with a couple minor issues. The major issue that I was writing to request help for is the portable hotspot not being selectable. I had also tried using wireless tether to no avail. The stock portable hotspot worked perfectly for me before moving to Cyanogenmod and I was wondering if an apk of this would be available and compatible with Cyanogenmod. My primary objective is to use this phone as a hotspot that doesn't share data, as the phone doesn't have a data nor phone plan. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] michaelboothe:
I have a weird problem with my galaxy s 4g T959V. 80% of the time when I do a battery pull (or if phone goes completely dead), the phone will boot back up into Download mode. I have to hold the power button down for awhile before it will boot regularly. sometimes it will boot back up after 2 or three power loops. Other times it may take 1 to 2 minutes of continuously holding the power button for it to boot normally. I plan on se.lling this phone, so I would like to find a fix for this.

It am running stock rooted 2.3.6 flashed through Heimdall one click, but i had the problem before rooting. I had hoped flashing back to stock would fix the problem.

Anyone have any idea why problem is happening, or if there is any suggestions on how to fix it. I tried searching for solutions, but all I found were people having problems getting into download mode. That obviously is not a problem for me.

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Is it doing this when there is no USB cord plugged in? It sounds like the phone thinks that the data pinouts are engaged. Even then it shouldn't boot to DL mode unless your holding the volume rockers as well. Do you have any apps installed like quickboot? If so start by clearing the caches on those apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] michaelboothe:
Thanks for the reply. It is Stock, so only the stock apps are loaded. It does it both plugged and unplugged. I have 3 batteries, and have tried each. Thought it might be a battery issue, but it is not. If I remember correctly, the problem happened after I used odin to flash to stock the first time I wanted to root it. On a side note, I ended up with 00000000000 under about phone. The phone still works fine, and my correct imei is still listed when I check in the service menu. I don't know if the problems are related.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
Maybe your usb jack is messed up so it thinks a jig is plugged in. Have you tried to blow it out or clean it with alcohol?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] michaelboothe:
You may be right. I just tried booting with the usb plugged in. Download mode. I wiggled the usb cable while holding power. Once it powered down and tried to boot again, it started up just fine. I guess I may have a usb issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] michaelboothe:
Now I am almost positive it is something to do with usb port. i have been spending the last 20 min trying different scenarios. There is one that will boot boot right every time.

1)pull battery

2)insert usb cable

3)replace battery while usb cable is plugged in

I don't have any alcohol handy to try and clean it, but i will try that as soon as I get some. I hope cleaning fixes it. I don't think I have the skills to try a usb replacement. I tried it once with an LG Quantum, and it didn't go so well.

I appreciate the help and suggestions

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRandev:
Hi,

Can you unroot the nexus7 without using a PC via TWRP or something and then load OEM stock image?

Because I can't connect to my PC via USB.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
IF you are already on stock with the ability to accept an OTA, then possibly. To unroot, just delete superuser.apk from /system/app and su from /system/xbin. Although you would somehow need to get back to the stock recovery, perhaps you can find it in flashable form somewhere.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicetaco:
Why can't you connect?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
If you have supersu installed it has an option for full unroot :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRandev:
Faulty USB port

My USB port is faulty.:(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRandev:
Doesn't lock the bootloader

This would only remove superSU (from /sys) and wouldn't do anything else such as lock the bootloader:(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
It removes supersu and the superuser binaries, aka root.

Besides you only asked for a unroot not a bootloader re-lock. Which is impossible without fastboot or a prior locked state back up of it pal. :/

Hi

I'm new to android and is kind of confusing to me on how everything works. Right now I have a at&t Galaxy s3 running android version 4.0.4. I've been wanting to upgrade to the latest jelly bean version. I did try upgrading from the software from Samsung Kies but it does not want to work, it does not recognize the phone completely. I am rooted (Kernel version - 3.0.8) and also I have a rom installed (Triune II) that I basically do not remember how I did it. All I want is to find a way to install the latest jelly bean software on my phone. I did search the forums here at XDA developers website but cannot find a way to do it since there is so many roms and software's to choose from and I'm worried about breaking my phone since I do not know exactly which one to download. I don't know how everything with android really works with all the Kernels and all these things. I would appreciate if anyone could help me with this issue. Please!!!

Thanks

Nelson
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
You didn't search ;) but its OK

You can't upgrade rooted devices via Kies.

If you were able to flash one custom rom you should be able to do it again by simply following directions on a ROMs thread.

Look for your desired ROM (the name and android version is the name of the thread)

And just follow instructions and you should be set :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nel-Pagan:
thanks for the quick reply what my question really is... Can I flash a jelly bean rom for example liquid smooth 4.2.2 on my galaxy s3 running 4.0.4?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Yes after you're rooted you can go from 4.0 to 4.2

Make sure your recovery is up to date.

If its not you can find the latest in the ATT Android Development thread :)

When flashing AOSP based ROMs like Liquid Smooth make sure to follow the instructions and download both ROM and Gapps files and flash them both ( 1st ROM than Gapps) and you should be set.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] leos0000:
Yes u can bro.Just install custom recovery not twrp.and flash easy .good luck man
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Please don't give false information

He can flash both TWRP recovery or Clockworkmod.

I strongly recommend TWRP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nel-Pagan:

I try twrp more time and i got ****. Cuz on twrp i cant flash jelly 4.2.2 just on cwm i can and im happy
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Download GooManager from Play and select "Install Recovery Script" And that should do it :)

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

Like I said don't give it false information.

Just because you failed at using a simple recovery doesn't mean others as well. You're the only person I seen complaining about this. So its clearly you.

TWRP works great and I haven't updated mine in over 7months and I've never had an error flashing.

@Nelson please don't listen to this guy.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] leos0000:
Install open recovery
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Click menu than your option should be there.

I recommend trying them all out!

No ROM will be better than another.

It all comes down to you and the features you want. Read the ROMs description and see what they're packed with.

Watch a YouTube video or read up on how to wipe your cache & delvik, factory reset and all that before flashing so you boot up with out errors. :)

Its quite easy and fun.

Do not install anything thru GooManager unless you know absolutely what you are doing. Stick to ATT Android Development and ATT Original Android Development ... Do not and I repeat DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING FROM INTERNATIONAL S3 OR ANY OTHER PHONE. YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nel-Pagan:
Ok is already installed now I go ahead and download nandroid from the play store?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:

Bro you don't know how grateful I am for your help I really appreciate the fact that you took time to explain all this to me. Thanks for everything!:good:;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
No problem! :)

Get a feel of what you're doing so you're comfortable flashing other stuff like themes/mods/extra features in the future.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nel-Pagan:
Yea, I will now... after you explain everything now it looks more simpler I did not know for a fact that I could flash a jelly bean rom if I was still on 4.0 now I get the meaning of a rooted device. Also I notice I can download roms thru that app goomanager. After the download is complete for both the rom and gapps I can go ahead and get into recovery and flash them right? Also one last question... nandroid is for me to do a backup? I will find that in recovery mode? How does it really work?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Yes once they're downloaded flash thru recovery but remember to wipe! And make sure what you have downloaded is absolutely for the US veriant of the S3 or has d2att in the name.

Nandroid will be found in TWRP recovery.

Its just kind of like assurance. If you flash something that boot loops you can revert to your backup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nel-Pagan:
Ok my phone already has CWM install on it is there any software that does the same as nandroid? What rom are you running?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
Idk about software or apps I always use the feature from recovery .

I'm on The Collective AoCP
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
No software can do the same as a nandroid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SiliconBug:
I use T-Mobile Note2 in the US with T-Mobile service.

When I had a fresh installation stock ROM to 4.1.2, I did see the "Automatic LTE/4G/3G/2G" option.

In the last few weeks, I was in Taiwan and used local 3G SIM card there (No LTE/4G there). At that moment, the "Automatic LTE/4G/3G/2G" option was disappeared. I thought that's because I used different SIM card with different system.

However, when I'm back to the states, the "Automatic LTE/4G/3G/2G" option never come back with T-Mobile SIM card.

I didn't modify my phone, and all I did was just with different SIM cards from different countries/service providers.

Any idea to fix it? I travel a lot so wiping my phone isn't an option.:banghead:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
What is your apn set to? The local card may have automatically changed it and for some reason is not changing back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SiliconBug:
APN is still the same when I reinsert T-Mobile SIM card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Well worth a shot. Are you in a custom ROM if so you could try to just dirty flash the ROM again
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SiliconBug:
Thank you for your suggestion. I'm using stock ROM. After reinstall stock ROM again, the option "Automatic LTE/4G/3G/2G" option is shown, but still looking for an easier way to fix it.

hi all..

i have pocket slides and want to connect the xda to a projector for presentations, is there a cable available to do this...

cheers

Tony
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
There is a backPack module for the XDA II which has an internal battery, a CF slot and a video output port. The video output port connects to a supplied cable for either Supervideo/Composite Video/or VGA output.

I bought one two days ago and used it for a presentation today at a PDA user group meeting in KL Malaysia. Was very happy with how easy it was to use and the quality of the images being presented.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] maxd:
wow...cool

thanks.. but what make, and where did you get it...

maxd
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
The BackPack is an O2 product, details are on their website. Where to buy it from depends on where you live I guess. I'm in Malaysia and the unit has just hit the streets here though I believe it has been available in other countries for a while.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] clievaio:
Could I ask does it come with any software or driver?

Thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] jpiek:
Btw if you look on www.expansys.com you'll see a I-mate and a O2 backpack.

The I-mate backpack is cheaper, but afaik, 100% the same ;)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
Yes it does come with additional software and driver.

Two main types of software.

1. Screen Mirror: An application that mirrors (displays) everything you do on the XDA II screen on the projected screen. Very handy for tutorials on software and other XDA II features. I used this to demonstrate some new software at PPC users group meeting in KL on Saturday.

2. Presentation software: For Projecting pdf and powerpoint files. I demonstrated (at the same user group meeting) the features of the powerpoint presentation and found it was crisp, clear, good color retention and very easy to use. Some nice features in this software too. You have an on screen mouse pointer, you can also draw on the screen with multiple color pens. Both the pointer and drawings appear on the projected image as well. But perhaps the neatest feature is the ability to display the powerpoint slide plus your speaker's note on your PPC screen but only display the powerpoint slides on the projected screen. I think that is a very useful feature.

The drivers and software are inluced on a mini CD.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] ednap:
There are a couple of things I would like to see improved on the hardware side of things.

1. There is no way to charge the battery in the BackPack without attaching it to your XDA II. I would prefer to see an AC socket on the packpack itself so you can leave the backpack on charge and still be using your XDA II.

2. When you insert a CF card into the BackPacks CF slot a little plunger sticks out. The plunger is pressed to remove the CF card. I found the plunger sticking was a bit annoying for a right hander like me. Holding the XDA II in my left hand (so I can use the stylus in my right hand) places the CF slot plunger into the meat of my palm. It doesn't hurt at first but after using it for most of the day it was certainly annoying.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Arkobad:
Screen mirror

Does the BackPack use the built-in ATI Imageon graphic accelerator?

Would it be possible to use higher resolution (640x480 on TV and 1024x768 on monitor) in all PocketPC applications?

I know this feature is not supported by default. But higher resolution in all apliccations is not supported on Toshiba e800 too, but with some hack you can use higher resolution in all applications.

There are applications for all PocketPCs which emulate higher resolution (using subpixels like the cleartype does). It these emulators you can see that most of applications (word, excel, internet explorer, ...) work correctly in higher resolution.

So my question: - is (or will be) possible to use your MDA2+BackPack in higher resolution (for exapmle for large XLS tables or for web browsing) on TV or VGA monitor? This feature would really be great! Imagine yourself sitting in a softchair, wireles keyboard in your hands and MDA2 connected to your TV showing XDA-Developers website in a full resolution !
