I've always been a stickler for technology. I had all of the iPhones until the 4s, and I never thought I would go back. I remember a guy coming into work and showing me the original galaxy and I was blown away, however somehow I still managed to stick with apple. I eventually got bored (as I always do) and decided to try something new. I sold my iPhone for $1100 (Yeah, NZ is ridiculous..) and bought a LGP920 (Ugh..) I loved it at first, however as time went on I realised how slow and painful it actually was. I bought a Note 2 and haven't looked back since. I will only own android from now on, and I've convinced all my family and friends to do so also. Great devices at great prices. You obviously get the odd bad device, but with there being so much variety that's expected! The price / performance ratio is insane compared to the iPhone's.. I'll never go back ;)

I've never owned anything else since I purchased my HTC Evo 4G. The android interface is much simpler and more user friendly than iOS and Windows. Also the extreme customization abilities of Android make it more attractive. iOS is a pain in the butt and boring. My wife has an iPhone 5 at the moment and I hate when I have to use it for something.

I allways used Symbian phones and I loved it. To be honest I dont like any of modern platforms. I don`t need widgets etc. I want my phone to last a week while SMS-ing calling people and using internet. Neither WM,Android or iOS can do that.

I had a number of Blackberry phones (at the time, they were the only smartphones allowed at work) and when I, finally, could use something else I wanted more flexibility than is available with iOS. When all is said and done, I think flexibility is the most basic difference between Android and iOS.

My old Nokia music x something (woah, can't remember) would turn off if you pressed the side too hard. One day went berserk on the phone and needed a new one. I knew Android was pretty open and had some pretty epic apps and stuff, got a HTC Wildfire. It was magical, until I figured out how bad, slow and low end of a phone it actually was. Jumped to a Samsung GS2, when I figured out rooting and custom roms, I was sold.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dcs:
Try resetting the device, placing it back in the cradle and re-running the upgrade. It doesn't require ActiveSync as the upgrade process looks after its own connection.

Make sure the cradle is connected directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub. Also make sure the power supply is connected to the cradle.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dawn Breed:
Hello,

I have a strange problem. Even though my phone should have a very bad connection in my area/room (proven with another phone: no bar shown) the nexus shows me all bars. But in reality calls do not come through, people get the message that i am not available and later i get lost call messages.

My provider says everything fine from there side. And my S1 at least shows zero bars. The problem appears with different roms and kernels. As well this is the second N4 i tested after a RMA of the first one. So two phones, same issue.

Not sure how to solve it. Anyone else having this issue?

Hey fellas, I just bought my S4 yesterday and rooted it as soon as I got home. I want to flash another ROM to it, but I am afraid the imei might disappear etc.

I have searched the forum but not found a really good answer. Some people claim you only have to copy the EFS folder in root explorer and save it on your SD-card. Some people say you have to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41559366&postcount=2

That didn't work on my i9505 (rooted with CF-auto-root).

So, how do I properly take a backup of the EFS and IMEI stuff before I start playing around with ROMs etc? :confused:

NO need for USB Cables anymore to transfer files From PC to ANDROID Devices and vice versa.​

Had seen this Procedure on some tech site (Sorry but i dont remember the name) but couldn't follow it. Finally tried it myself and here is the procedure:

Requirements​

ES FILE EXPLORER

Wi-Fi Hotspot (with or without internet)

Procedure​

Connect Phone and Pc to the Same Wi-Fi network.

Open ES File Explorer > Press options > Side bar appears.

Choose TOOLS > REMOTE MANAGER > TURN ON

A link like 190.000.0.0:1234 is shown. Copy it somewhere.

Options > In side bar choose NETWORK > Select FTP.

Select "+NEW" from bottom bar > FTP

In "Port" Type the Link leaving the last 4 digits and colon. Like this "ftp://190.000.0.0"

In "Port" type the last 4 digits only > Check ANONYMOUS box > Ok

Open any Folder in your Desktop and type in the FULL LINK in the Address bar. Like this "ftp://190.000.0.0:1234"

Congrats, thefolder which appears is your Sd-Card.

Now you can Copy Paste whatever you want to your Sd-Card.

Note

You can also use another Android device as Hotspot

Internet connection is NOT needed

File transfer may take time depending on network speed

This procedure needs to be followed only once. Next time only switching on the REMOTE SETTINGS will do​

Don't Say Thanx use the Button Below;)

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unilqadium:
Hello.

Just bought my Razr i (4.1.2 stock) and need some info or help please.

I´m "dont talk to me" user, so my phone can happen to be untouched for whole week until somebody calls or messages me. That way I´d like to max out idle battery life.

I think that those questions are more on Android than on phone, but still... Anyway:

I clear my apps in "task manager" everytime, I use GPS/WIFI/DATA only at a time I use the phone and its apps directly, and I have set smart action which disables GPS,Wifi and (background) data once I turn the display off. I have 4% of battery down after night (9h idle) with flight mode, and 70% idle / 30% screen + android in battery status.

Is it enaugh to max out its sleep potential to prolong battery life at idle state, or is there anything else to do?

If it is not naughty, I´d also like to disable some more apps and processes to make it "light walking" machine, but don´t know what is the purpose of those (MotoCare, QuickView, but processes with android icoon are more difficult to recognize and possibly disable).

Can anybody help please?

Thx for possible answers :)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaledm_92:
To completely disable motocare you need root access. However, you can kill it for a couple of days if you clear its data. Vehicle mode usually runs in the background so you might wanna disabe it. Youtube and facebook ALWAYS run in the background, regardless of whether you're even online. I suggest you remove facebook as well if you have it as the newest version takes up almost 40 mb of RAM. You could use the web version which is just the same.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unilqadium:
Thank you. Helped a lot!.

Also changed smart actions for Battery Saver at a time when I turn the display off....

Well, waiting after "new stuff at home" goes away, there is chance to get over 10 days of idle. That´s my boy :)

After upgrading to this .187 O2 ROM, My XDA II is really slow all over the place. I deleted the O2 Active User Interface thing and that seemed to stop it from being slow when turning it on and off.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] kaemon:
Yeah, happenned to me too... hard reset twice in 2 days!!...just after upgrade to this rom...

My xdaii just didn't react to anything, not even the power button, so i did a soft reset... but it did a hard reset instead :s.

after that i changed to a belgian ROM (1.72 too) BUT kept the radio from the O2... and i wasn't able to send/receive sms after that, so i completeley installed the belgian rom to get rid of the O2 one.

see my post about it here : http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=12656

EDIT : looks like other people have a proble with the ON/OFF button under this rom... http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=12690 :| [/url]
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] chriswo:
The issue of the Xda II not responding to anything but hard reset happened to me two or three times, but I was on 1.60.44WWE.

The first time, I reinstalled almost everything to see if a particular program crashed the unit.

The second time, I narrowed it down to GPRS Tweak ... but still it happened.

The last time, I took out a program called SpaceReclaimer, that clears away cached & temporary files ... and this time, perhaps it was pure luck but the problem hasn't occurred since, it's been more than 6 months now.

I have no solutions, but just to share my experience and compare notes, perhaps the new ROM came with an app which messes with system files in background and causes this to happen. Well, at least that's what I suspected what happened to mine as I remember using SpaceReclaimer quite often before those hard resets.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] brian_bunny:
Hi all,

I was wondering whether you have installed any program after the ROM upgrade or not? Coz I have no problem with my customized .187 ROM at all (what I have removed all UK O2 CABs, put some HK and AUS network settings and edited the config.txt). It works like a charm! The only 2 possible reasons I can think of for your problem would be 1) program(s) installed after ROM upgrade or 2) ROM is not correctly customized/upgraded. If worst comes to worst, phone is still messing up, try to do a SD-card ROM recover and redo the upgrade.

Hope my opinions can give you guys some hints on how to fix the problem. :)

Cheers!

once done go to recovery go to mounts and storage and wipe /system /data /preload then go down to mount USB storage while it is connected to computer and delete all the files that would appear on the computer. go back and go to wipe cache and then to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.

go to download mode, flash stock rom of any region (without pit file) and flash using pc odin.

Can you post the second screenshot again (not the same as above, new one)

I have a similar problem....

HD2 512K in UK

Stuck on white screen on power up

Bootloader shows SPL-3.03.0000

I found RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe

(lots of the old stock rom links are broken)

I extracted RUU_signed.nbh, renamed it LEOIMG.nbh...copied it to a blank 2gb SD card, put the card in the phone, powered on holding down the vol-down key

It enters the loader, but the bar only progesses "a little way"....there's no %age but it might be about 10%....and then I get a code 00018003 and the text RADIO FAIL

I've tried lots of times, and done the 30 mins in the freezer a couple of times....

Feels like the "stuck radio" that is being described....meaning it is dead I think...but before I bin it, I thought I'd check.

Anything else I can try?

Could I have a bad Image rather than a stuck radio....I got the exe from

http://search.4shared.com/postDownload/X9gQD6tK/RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1664052_Radio_.html

There is mention of using a goldcard trick to fix - but I can't find/understand how to do it, or if it is appropriate....

[HD2 General] Mister B:
Have you used the rest button under battery cover a few times as sometimes this gets over the issue.

I would get HSPL 2.08 on it & try Energy custom WM rom as no radio image in rom.

If flashes do a reset via reset pin in rear under battery cover & try flashing radio if needed.

Radio in my sig is a good one & most others can be found in the HD2 wiki ...

Worth a few more tries & changes in procedure before giving up ...
