[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aceuniverse:
I am REALLY interested in putting Ubuntu Touch on my Nexus but I have a few concerns..

(1) I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with VERIZON, and I was wondering if Ubuntu touch works with CDMA networking?

(2) I have some concerns with the lack of data support, is there any indication when it will be supported and is there anyways that people who have used Ubuntu touch work around this problem?

Thanks so much in advance!
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Findee:
Currently it doesn't support CDMA.

They said by the end of May it should be stable enough to be a daily driver.

The work around at the moment is to use Wi-Fi!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joeym11:
I searched the roms so far, and none of them said they had it. I love using the app on stock, but I want it look better
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Buffpandabear:
Not sure if this has been answered, but I have been searching and cannot find an answer.

I'm S-Off with Dirty Racun, have been flashing Roms for the past year, no problems, backing up and restoring Roms with no problem. Recently was using the latest Hatka LTE but wanted to restore to an earlier version. Didn't work. Did a super wipe and tried to install clean. Didn't work.

Have been messing with this all day and am stuck. At first it was saying that it could not mount the /sdcard. I thought maybe the internal sdcard was corrupt, so I formatted the internal sdcard. Didn't help.

Anyways, yes, I can get into bootloader and I can get into TWRP.

Yes, I have tried other versions of TWRP. All my backups were created under 2.4.1, have tried 2.4.4 and 2.5 to restore, no success.

In TWRP 2.4.1:

It will say:

Restoring 4 partitions...

Wiping System...

Formatting System using mke2fs...

Done.

Restoring system...

E:Unable to extract tar archive '/sdcard2/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT2324......

Wiping Cache..

Formatting Cache using mke2fs...

Done.

Restoring cache...

[cache done]

Restoring boot...

[boot done]

Updating partition details....

E:Unable to unmount '/system'

Also, not sure if this is related, but when I do Factory Reset under the Wipe section, it will only show that it is formatting cache, formatting data, and wiping .android_secure. It used to say formatting system, but now doesn't mention it?

Also, immediately after it says unable to mount /system, if I try to wipe system, it will give me a fail, unable to unmount /system

Basically, I'm stuck at TWRP and bootloader.

Also, when I try to install a ROM, any ROM, it will die - for example MeanBean 3.09, it will say:

Formatting and Mounting Partition...

Clearing cache and dalvik...

Installing /system....

Installing /data...

symlink: some symlinks failed

E: Error in /sdcard2/MeanBean-v309-jewel-ltevo.zip (Status 7)

Please help! What can I do to restore it back to the way it was so that I can at least get a working ROM on my phone?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Buffpandabear:
Also, if it will help, I am HBoot 1.19.22222

Radio 1.12.11.1210

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815

Thanks for any help in advance!! Really need this phone to boot into something working.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Buffpandabear:
sorry for the replies to myself, but as an update, now even after rebooting into recovery, I can't even wipe - the first thing that happens after I reboot into recovery is I see

E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'

E:Unable to recreate android secure folder.

E:Unable to mount '/sdcard', which repeats itself a couple of times

then Running boot script...

Finished running boot script...

This happens before I press a single button in recovery (TWRP 2.4.1), I mean it happens immediately as it is booting into recovery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jocarog:
I had the same issue and ended up using three different versions of TWRP, but if you go to the TWRP thread, captain just posted his version of recovery that he built from source and he fixed some of the issues with the android secure and changed some of the wipes, check it out and reformat using rm rf, works better for me it's in the advanced options...

Edit: link to captain's post

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fuzzyreets:
Hi folks. I just got my note 2 and I really hate Touchwiz so I was thinking of installing a ROM on the device. I was wondering what I would be losing, what I would be gaining and if it's possible to get the phone back to stock ROM after doing so. Looking for most stock like ROM available that is fully functional. I want to make sure that everything works after flashing. Any help and answers to these questions appreciate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechGoon954:
Clean ROM!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fuzzyreets:
Ha. That's funny i was just starting to read about that. Is it complete meaning that there is nothing that is non functional? Can I get back to stock if I ever wanted to do that? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechGoon954:
Yes and the battery life is crazy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fuzzyreets:
So it's completely functional? I was reading little things like bluetooth audio not working in some ROMs and things like that. I don't want anything not to work. I'll leave you alone after this. THanks :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechGoon954:
Yes, I'm using 4.9 with AT&T and everything works fine, even the bluetooth, my wife has an Sonata with bluetooth capability and I use it all the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] fuzzyreets:
Awesome. Thought of one more thing. Does the stylus still fully function?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sass86:
Honestly this questions could be answered by reading the first post in clean rom. It's touchwiz based so everything is functional.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] faded03cobra:
Cleanrom or jedi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eternalty:
^^This! You really need to just check out the development section and do some reading. There is no best rom. Try them out. Read the OP in each one and you'll know what works and what doesn't

AND, questions go in Q&A, NOT in general...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
Any ROM marked TW will be the closest to stock and all are the best for those that use them.

Best thing for you is to simply make a backup, flash, try, no like, flash another.

"Best" threads are always closed on XDA as they are too subjective and no one knows exactly what you like.
[Milestone 2 General] DroidNine:
Hello all. I am a new owner of a MS2, and a bit overwhelmed by all the options available. I just wanted MS2 owners to post up the ROM/Kernel they are using, and any limitations/known problems they have encountered.

ROM: Tezet's CM10

Kernel: as above

Problems:

- I dont know whether its the phone, the ROM or something Ive done, but with WIFI on the battery drains in less than a day. I see that other users are having the problems, so it will be interesting to see if anyone isnt having the problem and which ROM they are using.

- I am unable to use WIFI with the Play Store. Downloads start but then randomly stall and don't restart.

Its fantastic to see such a big community effort for an aging phone. Tezet and the other ROM chefs have done a great job of keeping a fantastic phone alive. Thank you!
[Milestone 2 General] MageMaster:
Same problem here. 1% of battery every 3 minutes of wi-fi.
[Milestone 2 General] gigabruno:
I think it comes from the manufacturer itself. All devices Motorola has already today are lacking in respect of the battery. :rolleyes: It's a shame because they are very good machines in my opinion.
[Milestone 2 General] lulli1:
no problem here with tezets cm10 from 28.12.2012 (2ndBoot) one complete night with wifi on, 3 % battery.....

there must be some wakelocks in your case. you have to find out, what app or process did this wakelocks. use betterbatterystats app from this forum here (use search function).

the other possibility is the number of battery cycles since flashing. you need a few of them, to see the real battery behaviour or drainage....

goog luck!

[Nexus 7 General] DubleJayJ:
Your guys thoughts on it? What should I expect, and how easy is it to unlock? I have past experience in unlocking and flashing stuff, as I'm coming from the Xperia Play.

EDIT - Didn't think of this when posting it, but how about some unlocked ROMs too. Preferably running at the latest Android version and is nice and fast but good battery life.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Its a nexus. Very easy to unlock, root, and install loads of custom roms and kernels.

However its rumored that there might be a new model announced soon. Something is happening June 10th. I'd advise to wait till then at least.

Otherwise the current N7 is awesome.
[Nexus 7 General] Spatinator:
I was also coming from the Xperia PLAY when i bought this tablet, i think about 2 months ago.

It was agood choice!

You get always the latest updates and there are a lot of great mods on the forum!
[Nexus 7 General] brakke97:
If you're coming from the Xperia Play than it's almost similar. With the Nexus 7 you can go into fastboot without your Windows/Mac/Linux. Just press the power button and the volume down button and you're into fastboot. The best tool to unlock/root/recovery is Wug's Nexus toolkit. And i've you're searchin' for an awesome experience then go for Paranoid Android and Franco.Kernel!
[Nexus 7 General] JetOhmNet:
Yea man, it's a nexus, all new android content will either originate here or immediately be ported to us. It's incredible for the price. I might be jaded though, seeing as I'm coming from a Motorola DROID X2 as my only android device.
[Nexus 7 General] DubleJayJ:
Thanks for the opinion guys! :) As soon as I get another $60, I'm gonna be buying this bad boy. Also, I was in the OG Android Dev section, and I noticed a nice ROM called XenonHD. It looked pretty nice. How's that compared to PAC? And on my X-Play I have SlimBean, and I did notice there was a SlimBean ROM for the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Spark:
Disagree. One should enjoy his device and never care about something that does not yet exist.
[Nexus 7 General] armada786:
There is some virtue in patience when it comes to technology, but the game changes so fast in 6 months there'll be a new thing that's better anyway so why worry? Also, I don't put stock in rumors. A new Nexus 7 might come before the end of the year, I think but maybe it'll be a 2 year stay like the Xoom was. I'm considering this current Nexus 7 to replace my aging A500. It looks super smooth even on 4.2.2 so I think I'd be happy with it. :)
[Nexus 7 General] DubleJayJ:
Bought it, comes in tomorrow :D Can't wait to play with it. Also, where should I go about getting the drivers? I downloaded Wugs tool, isn't there an option to download drivers from that?
[Nexus 7 General] kieso:
You won't regret buying it! I think you can get the drivers from Wugs but be very very careful using kits to unlock and root. Read the directions at least 3 times before doing anything. I've seen many posts about problems after using rooting kits. If you look it up its actually easier using adb to unlock and root.
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
Wug's toolkit is the best. You won't be needing anything else, really. Just read the instructions carefully.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ascertion:
$250 (upgrade price), $36 activation fee...then add tax. I think it's annoying that Sprint is making us loyal customers pay the difference for new customers (as they save $100 upon signing up.)

Had to vent...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
Welcome to the world of sales. It's all about acquisition.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ttrain721:
Sell your old phone on ebay/Craigslist or just sell it back to Sprint. If you work hard enough you can get the $36 activation fee waived.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ascertion:
It'd be different if other carriers did it, too. Every single other carrier has it for $200 on upgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] V1ViD:
You should be able to get the activation fee waived. I have every single time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Esoteric68:
Check out wirefly and amazon mobile. Sometimes they are around $50 less than Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jay5583:
I bought my S4 from Sam's Club for $190. On an added bonus...Sam's Club only charges tax on the sale amount and not the regular retail price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
I'm way more disappointed in Sprint's cell service. The S4 is a great phone and well worth $250, I payed full price off contract for mine $599, -$263 that I got for my S3 on trade in at Best Buy. But being locked into a two year contract with Sprints pathetic network is another thing.

Hopefully the completion of their LTE rollout wins you over...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BiffTirkle:
ive been a sprint customer for 12 years and the last phone i got they refused to waive my activation fee. i used to just make a simple call and request they waive it, i wasnt rude, or threatening and they flat out refused. they gave me the "we're trying to expand our network and push lte to more markets" excuse. and i bought it. i figure if my 36 bucks gets lte here faster then its worth it. that wont stop me from calling every time i get hit with an activation fee.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] harmansingh:
sams club has i for 166 and they waive the activation fee the first weekend of the month so im paying aroun 175 for it lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ascertion:
Don't you need a membership for that? I would so do that if it was possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AzWizzard:
I upgraded with Sprint at Costco (yes you have to have a membership).

Phone was $195, no activation fee, and it included an accessory bundle. Not the best bundle, but hey, a free TPU case, Car charger and some other items aren't bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Verilin:
I only got charged $150 for the device when activating a new line (of course plus the activation fee, all carriers charge this). However, I also got charged a $100 deposit on the line, I'm assuming because of my credit or lack thereof. So I wound up paying $250 when I got my GS4. Is this what everyone else is talking about or did they itemize the phone as costing $250? As a note, I ordered online, not in a store if that makes a difference for anyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] optimummind:
Yea, it's ridulous that Sprint would charge the most among the carriers. But I bought the S4 off-contract and they offered the best price when the preorders were going on ($599.99). :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
Amazon also has it for $599 off contract, so I went to Best Buy and had them price match and got the phone there.

Sent from my SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ascertion:
Sprint has always been cheapest carrier in terms of nearly everything (plans, phones, etc.) But this was a surprise. I'll probably wait until a 3rd party retailer has a big sale and jump on it then.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Can I upgrade through Costco/Sam's club online without membership?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jaaybs:
I couldn't resist. I got it the first day I had an upgrade. With everything (taxes and upgrade) on top of the 250 bucks for the device my out of pocket was aroubd 280. It was quite disappointing and the insult was that I didnt enjoy the device at first after being a die hard HTC follower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] optimummind:
I thought of Amazon as well but when I submitted my preorder, Amazon didn't have the Sprint S4 for sale. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
They didn't have it in stock either when I had Best Buy price match them.

Sent from my SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] optimummind:
Did Amazon have the product page created and the price listed for the Sprint S4 when you got Best Buy to price-match? Cuz when I searched Amazon, I couldn't even find the Sprint S4 on Amazon. :( I preordered my S4 on April 18th.

Either way, I was happy with my purchase experience. Got the phone on the morning of the 26th and played around with it like crazy for the first 5 hours, lol~ :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ascertion:
My best buy doesn't price match online retailers but I've heard others have success with it. I think it totally depends on your store. You'll have to let them look up the product page though so they can verify the sale.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
Not sure who told you they don't price match but it is their policy. I do it with all my electronics. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Payment...ee/pcmcat297300050000.c?id=pcmcat297300050000

---------- Post added at 11:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:23 PM ----------

Yes they had a page up, I got my phone in the beginning of May, although it was out of stock but Best buy still always will do the price match. All i did was search Sprint galaxy s4 on the amazon page. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=Sprint+galaxy+S4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ascertion:
I guess this is why BestBuy doesn't match their prices with mine.

Edit: never bought my device off contract from them before. They might do it off contract.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
Yes off contract, no on contract.

Sent from my SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] optimummind:
That makes sense then. On the 18th of April, Amazon didn't have the Sprint S4 on their website. They didn't even have the international unlocked versions even, although non-Amazon sellers did list the international ones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] screwdestiny:
I was, that's what I got it off Newegg for $199. Comes with free next-day shipping. They're supposed to still charge a $36 upgrade fee, but I got my bill already and the upgrade fee wasn't on there. I do have a business discount, though, so maybe it was already waived although i thought they only did it if you went through your business website.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] BamAlmighty:
Screwing existing customers is Sprint corporate mantra.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ascertion:
If I'm ready for an upgrade, that means my contract is almost over. If every single competitor is cheaper and Sprints giving the love to new customers, may as well move to another carrier.

I wouldn't mind it as much if everyone else is $250. But they're not and us existing customers are paying for the new customers savings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Delakit:
Yes. But, then again, I'm all around disappointed with Sprint. Don't get us started. Lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] docangle:
I was able to get the S4 from Sprint Telesales for $199 + $50 Service Credit. You just have to be patient and explain to them what other carriers are charging for the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ascertion:
You think this would work? Maybe if you're a risk of cancelling service. Problem is, my line is ending soon, but I have 3 more lines with full ETFs on them. There's no way I can bargain with them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] docangle:
I didn't threaten anyone that I was going to cancel my service. I was calm and collected and just explained to them that other service providers had a lower price and I felt as a longtime customer I should be able to get the same price as you would get from competing offers from other carriers. Some people may feel the need to threaten them you are going to cancel if you don't get what you want or deserve, but sometimes the honest and straight forward approach works the best.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eyecon82:
If you call to complain and say you are going to cancel because all competing carriers sell it for $200, they will credit your account the $50 difference + $36 activation fee.

At least, they did for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hlhudson3:
How is that? What do you tell them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Jnoles07:
Im just annoyed that when I walked in the price said 199 and then, all of a sudden, it was 250 with a mail in rebate. Felt pretty scammish. I've seen worse though and probably would have paid 350 for this sick phone so I didn't really mind.

I traded my S3 into Best Buy for $262.50 and had them price match Amazon for $599, I walked out the door for $385 off contract.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cas8180:
Ive been watching craiglist for a week now and I have seen people selling them for 350 to 400 in my area "new" cause they are hard up for cash. So if I can get one for that I may do it. My biggest thing is dealing with the wife after making such a purchase! But more importantly to keep my s3 as a backup or sell it on eBay for 300+ would be a major win.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
Make sure if you buy from Craigslist to have the person meet you at a Sprint corporate store and activate it while they are there first before paying. You don't want to pay for a phone with a bad esn that cannot be activated. Good luck.
