[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Hahaha nicely said. I love my old iPhone. But it's a paper weight compared to any recent android phone. I love both phones but this phone is a legitimate computer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chance77:
Two 4s in our house...dont hate...they belong to dainty daughters..spend most time on chargers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
My friend just recently switched from the 4s. He has been am iPhone fanboy, even though he claims he wasn't a fanboy, ever since he got his first iPod and iPhone. He just got sick and tired of Apples little walled in garden with the iPhone even when jailbroken. He saw my Note 2, played with it for a couple weeks and then made the switch. He is absolutely in love with hos Note 2 and says there is no way in hell he will EVER go back to an iPhone!

The only thing he dislikes is there is no way to sync his iTunes music, playlists, pictures, and videos. He was using Kies but since he flashed Vanilla Rootbox, which he has been on since the 3rd day he had his phone, he cant find any app for syncing his music tjat works with a USB cord.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] IamPro:
There are certainly more (and a lot of times better) accessories for an iDevice; play music thru the media cable, earphone/headphone buttons auto detect the device, more choices when it comes to cases etc

Tell him to look into iSyncr
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
He is currently using iSyncr but the problem he is running into with it is that it doesn't sync any metadata, like how many times a song had been played and all that good stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bill Idol:
My wife had an iphone 5 and she thought she would love it because she likes her ipad so much but right away she noticed that she can't see it too well because of the small screen. So she traded it for the note 2 and loves it way, way, way more because of the size. She says it was a great trade.

I went from a 4s to the N2. I have no regrets, and I thoroughly enjoy this phone.
[HTC One V] N0N4ME:
Hi everyone, im having an issue with kernels on the htc one v cdma. Im forced to reflash the kernel every single time the phone is restarted in order to get wifi to work. When i boot into android after rebooting the wifi is stuck on turning on. Afterwards i reflash the kernel and the wifi is back but if the phone is restarted wifi is gone again everytime.

Im using the stock kernel as well as jmz's stock rooted odexed ics firmware.

Any help will be greatly appreciated
[HTC One V] N0N4ME:
btw sorry for posting in the wrong section, didn't realize it until after the fact.
[HTC One V] sellersj27:
When you flash the kernel, your command should be "fastboot flash boot boot.IMG"
[HTC One V] N0N4ME:
It worked, cant believe i missed that, thanks man
[HTC One V] sellersj27:
No problem! I've done it too....that's how I knew. :D

You have to enable the fax service on your sim,

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Guest:
yes i had the same problem, you have to get fax/data enabled on your phone, they will give you a separate fax number.

my works fine without any problems.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
addition to answers above:

1. This questions was allready answered elsewhere on the forum

2. It is by design that the phone app gets de-activated, because it locks the gsm h/w exclusively. It reconnects the phne app afterwards neatly. Nothing wrong with it, although MS could have incorporated fax in its original s/w design of WM2003.

3. It is not O2, it is KSE that build this. And I gues we have to thank them for enabling fax on the Himalaya.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] mamaich:
KSE Truefax is unstable on Imate/XDA2. This is due to a bug in GSM firmware. Maybe 1.18 GSM ROM would be more stable.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] sanwijay:
Works fine with me ...

You have to activate the fax feature from your SIM Card Provider ...

A while ago, I posted about AnyHome and made a note to push it to the Play Market.

Then, of course, I forgot.

Anyway, it is now available: Clicky

For reference, here is the short version of what it does:

"Use AnyHome to replace your device's current home screen with any application.

With AnyHome, you can promote any application to "default" screen, even if the application does not normally have this ability.

Convenient to create a kiosk/demo mode, setup an in-car device's default interface, radically change your device into a book reader or any other specialized function."

I actually originally wrote it for Google TV but that, too, I forgot about. Something is wrong with me.

will wait till Chotu ports it... due to Dual Sim.. very less developers are interested in developing a ROM for grand :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] UhmierSmith:
Hello I have ordered this phone despite the fixed battery, but I do have a few concerns. Coming from a droid 2, the phone could not charge a dead battery for some strange reason so I had to use an external battery charger.

So my question is can a droid RAZR charge a completely dead battery with a generic micro-USB charger?

And has anyone had any battery problems?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trebmalevets:
Yes - this phone can be charged using a generic charger. I have had this phone for almost a year and a half, and I've used countless chargers on it - all worked. Now, I dropped my phone in paint, which killed the microphone, so I did a warranty exchange for a refurbished model. My previous one worked like a champ - no crashes, excellent battery life, etc. The replacement is still working great, only I have to charge it a few times a day. To fix this I ordered a replacement EB40 battery off ebay and replaced the non-replacable battery. It wasn't all that tough, and now the battery lasts days. I felt like I got a new phone all over again!

Anyways - long story short (too late) - the battery holds up exceptionally well, you can still force reboot if/when necessary, and you can use any charger. And, should the need rise, it IS possible to replace the battery so long as you're brave enough to open up the phone.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] naifs_br10:
This man speaks the truth about eb40 replacement every $ is worth it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
Is it the same size battery?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ins5736:
You should also consider getting a "factory" cable. They're specially configured to bypass the battery so that you can access the phone even if the battery is dead. The bootloader won't charge your battery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] naifs_br10:
It is bigger and comes with backing very easy to do through tutorial here on forums
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tydiamond11:
Is it the RAZR maxx battery?

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

Also would u have to change the main battery Frame ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] naifs_br10:
Yes it is maxx battery I can tell you this i just changed battery and back case there was a small. Gap in pics on thread. You will see it. So. I just put a case on and viola like nothing happened
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ZackDark:
To answer you question, no, you can't charge a dead battery unless you have a factory cable, which is wired a bit differently than the one that usually comes with the phone. It is wired so the phone can bypass the battery and get the juice straight from the cable, which allows it to go through its whole boot up sequence, in turn allowing it to begin regular recharge.

I've had some battery issues very early in my phone's life cycle. It would sometimes, out of the blue, turn itself off, as if the battery had reached a critical state, but I can't quite remember what I did to fix it, sorry.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] UhmierSmith:
So my phone was shipped without a factory cable, if i were to let it die i cant get it back on without a factory cable :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ZackDark:
As far as I know, yeah, pretty much

After folowing all the steps on this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41997803#post41997803) to finnaly have .253 rooted, it seems I can't write to system. Every time I try to uninstall system app using titanium backup, the phone reboots. The selected app is uninstalled, but I have to do it one by one, cause it reboots always after unistalling. Same when trying to integrate dalvik cache files to the rom with Titanium Backup or to integrate an updated app to the room. When I open the File Manager, the phone instantly reboots too... Any idea about how can I fix it?

[myTouch 4G General] Dragonswithin:
No I'm sure the new nexus will have 1.5 - 2GB of RAM. I think if this is true it is more of a push by Google to stop the OS fragmentation. Older systems will be able to update and new low and mid range devices will all be able to run the same version of the OS.

I have a rooted photon on 2.34 and was looking to throw a rom on it for a little. When i look at the unlocking process the only one listed is the pudding unlock which states that it is too dangerous and should not be used. How should i go about unlocking so i can put a rom on my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Hey Jacob:
Where your contacts synced with Google before you flashed?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jimmy2989:
i had thought that they were but for some reason they werent, it synced a bunch of way older contacts off google, most of which are useless or obsolete, but i know all the contacts are backed up to my tmobile account and on the sim card, neaither of which seem to be syncing in this case, though i can understang the tmobile part not syncing since the app isnt there anymore lol, i just dont understand why i cant import my contacts from the sim. when i go to an old backup phone it says theyre on there, but on the sgs4g with ultragen its telling me there arent any on the sim

I had the exact same problem the first time I flashed CM9. My contacts weren't synced to Google. I looked into the problem when it happened to me. I went back to stock and synced them and re-flashed. Problem solved.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetolgungun:
Hi Everyone,

I got my second One today, first one had microphone issues.

I asked my cousin from UK to send me a new one, I got it today and I want to use a custom rom.

But when I opened the bootloader I saw something strange, it was s-off.

My build number is 1.29.206.11 (O2 UK).

I want to install this firmware 1.29.401.12 and a custom recovery after it.

Can I install this firmware directly?

Do I have to unlock my bootloader from htcdev to flash a custom recovery? (Its written locked)

It would be great if someone can tell me what should I do.

P.S.

-fastboot oem unlock doesnt work

-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img doesnt work

Thanks
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daleski75:
You have to register with htcdev and unlock your phone that way when you get the unlock_code.bin and AFAIK there is no way to unlock the bootloader without going through htcdev.

Until you do this you won't be able to flash any custom recoveries etc.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
You have to unlock with htcdev site.

After you can do all what you want ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indirect:
uhhh...he can flash the firmware directly through

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip FIRMWARE.zip
fastboot reboot
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
Yes, sure :)

But:

For the custom recovery he have to unlock the bootloader :p
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indirect:
false. He's s-off so he can add the recovery.img to the flashable firmware zip and then he has both.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Yep, just use the fastboot command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

where recovery.img is the name of CWM/TWRP. Nice and easy!

EDIT: Re-read the OP, strange that it doesn't work as it should do. What error do you get?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehmetolgungun:
I cant tell the error now, because I already unlocked my bootloader from htcdev.

As the poeople said that I cant do it, I made it from htcdev :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I wouldn't have done anything until people had a chance to properly answer you...oh well
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guich:
I had a simil case with my evo 3D.

I had it in s-off and locked after the reparation in warranty by htc, i tried to flash a recovery but nothing.

So i unlocked my bootloader with htcdev and all worked fine...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
But that defeats the point of S-OFF...with S-OFF you should have free access to everything without having to unlock, unless HTC have changed something in which case S-OFF is useless unless you want to flash an older RUU
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indirect:
You have access if you flash through a zip. That's the only way s-off devices can flash while still locked.

Looks like a simple and elegant solultion to me - especially for phone dialing and test messaging. Id rather that that touch the screen. And it seems easy for one-handed use.

And you'd still have the stylus as a secondarybackup....

BTW I contacted these guys and tjey say that they are pushing with vertical markets right now, but are looking for distribution partners in the UK and rest of Europe for the future.

Retail price would be apporx 600 Euro, whish is a bit high for my taste, but hell might be worth it. Especially if they could get EDGE isntead of GPRS....

Tried with 6.2.A.0.400 again, went fine in Flashtool, but didn't start. Tried to repair with PC Companion and now it doesn't start, but worse, I can't even get it into flashmode. :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] androidmeda:
How far does the initial boot go?

Reinstall the latest flashtool and drivers, reboot your pc. Connect flashmode before doing anything else and wait for your pc to complete installing device (when it says hardware disconnected at the end it's ok). Remove your phone, start flashtool, check all wipes, uncheck all excludes, connect in flashmode and let it flash. Boot phone and wait.

Hello everyone.

A perplexing issue: Using Maps Navigation, I prefer the voice that Samsung TTS offers (more natural). However, in my S4 with Wicked ROM v.3 there is no choice for English, so no street names are read. If I choose Google TTS all works fine.

There is no choice to download or install in any way, English. Several other languages, but not English.

Any ideas? I copied the APK from Wicked v.1 (where it worked) and pushed it to v.3, but no go.

I have frozen several things in TB, but nothing that should cause this....I think.

I can stick with Google TTS, but I'd like to figure this out.

TIA. :)
