[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grand_deluxe:
Hi

I'm new here. If this is in the incorrect section, please move it.

Im running Cyanogenmod 10.1 (nightly 06.06.2013) on Samsung S3 (int.)

I want to know why can't I save new contacts on the actual phone (intenal memory), instead it only gives me the option on saving to Google contacts. To me personally i dont like my personal details saved online, whether it's photos, documents etc. I know that on some things you don't have a choice.

Anyway, I would appreciate if someone could help me with this.

Thanks

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryunic:
I'll be going on a trip to China soon and I need to unlock my phone. I have tried unlocking my phone with the help of this post, but unfortunately it didn't work out. I read that I need to be using the stock rom for the unlock method to work.

My question is: if I unlocked my phone on the stock ROM and then restored to a backup with Clockworkmod, would my phone still be unlocked?

Also does anyone have a link to good stock based ROM that I can use to unlock my phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Any stock based Rom will do it, even the plain rooted stockones. And once it's unlocked, it stays that way until you relock it. Flashing a Rom shouldn't cause you to relock
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx3kgtman:
Ok first off I'm not all that familiar with htc's ways. I know that with previous bootloader unlocks we were able to flash custom roms and what not. Now with S-off we are able to change anything on the phone software wise. So that being said is carrier branding not so much an impact now?

For instance,

My phone is an att htc one which can receive AT&T ota updates. I know with the bootloader unlock I was able to flash international roms and have all the updated goodies of the international phone owners. But that being said I was still not able to receive international OTA updates since I was still branded AT&T.

Is the Cid what determines this?

If so, with s-off can we just change it to the international, developer edition, or any other carrier ID that we choose. Then flash an RUU from that carrier and then practically be the same as having the international or developer edition phone? Would we then be able to receive OTAs just like the dev or international editions get?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
Yes, you can run any RUU on your phone. That does not guarantee everything will work, however.

Flashing firmware from another carrier won't get you OTAs from them. Getting OTAs is a combination of your CID and your carrier. I can tell you from my experience with the One X, lots of folks who got AT&T phones and took them overseas after sim unlocking never got any AT&T OTAs. So I doubt it would work on this phone either.

I don't know what will happen with the Google edition, when it comes out. I don't think anyone knows until it's released. It's possible you will get OTAs from Google if you can get that on your phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx3kgtman:
Thanks for your response.

Ok say for instance I buy an HTC One Dev edition strait from htc. I then put that phone on at&ts service. I would stiill get ota's strait from htc right?

So for my at&t branded htc one with s-off. Assuming that I have the cid from the dev edition and a stock dev edition ruu, what else would be there to stop me from getting ota's strait from htc like the dev edition does?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitfire2425:
First off, to use dev ruu you need supercid.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx3kgtman:
So you couldnt install a dev ruu with the dev cid? What else would keep it from installing?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx3kgtman:
Ok let me put it like this. As far as I know there is no hardware differences between the htc one dev edition and the htc one at&t edition. That being said since we have s-off and are now able to change anything and everything on the phone software wise, can we not convert our at&t devices over to htc one dev editions and get OTAs directly from HTC and what not?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyt315:
what is supercid? cid - 11111111?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx3kgtman:
yes that is supercid
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzy034:
As long as you have the dev edition cid and the dev edition ruu, theoretically you should get the OTA updates. Same with the Google Edition because these two are not carrier branded and the updates come directly from HTC and Google.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msz006:
I thought Google will be the one releasing all the updates for the Nexus edition (Google experience) phones?

Consider Developer Edition still stuck on 4.12, I would hope Nexus edition updates are handled by Google not HTC
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tx3kgtman:
Google will directly provide the updates as far as I know
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skizzy034:
Yea sorry I meant these updates come directly from HTC and Google. I fixed my post.

Dear Friends :),

The Xolo Q800 has now been downgraded from the MT6589 chipset to a MT6589W-M chipset.

1. Could someone having a phone with the new MT6589W-M chipset please post its Nenamark2 and other benchmark scores?

2. All the Q800 ROMs here at xda are for the MT6589 phones. Can they be used with the MT6589W-M phones?

Thank You. :).
[Hardware Hacking General] sandeepnk:
Just bought this today. Mine has MT6589W-M chipset.

Quadrant: 3686

Nenamark 2: 49.2 fps
[Hardware Hacking General] inlife2746:
Hi Sandeep,

Thank you for doing that.

The previous MT6589 used to do 53 in neenamark2 and around 3800 in quadrant. Which means there is hardly any downgrade.

And congrats. Its a fantastic phone for the price. :). I too might be buying it in the next few days.

Thanks Again. :).
[Hardware Hacking General] sandeepnk:
Do you happen to know how to check whether 1080p recording is supported?

I can see settings like low, medium, high and fine. When fine is selected it recorded in 720p only.
[Hardware Hacking General] inlife2746:
Sandeep, unfortunately, thats the only downside to this new chipset. But they have not downgraded the camera, so the quality of the 720p video will be good.

Quality is not just about the resolution. A good quality sensor is the biggest difference, and the Q800 has a relatively good one.

Hi Shiva, Thank you for checking and telling us. :).
[Hardware Hacking General] Xperia-Ray:
you are right, tried it on w100 and same result, so its real 6589M.

but i have found other devices with 960*540 screen that can shoot 1080P in lgcamera and etc, the AMOI n828 also shoots 1080P :(

so some use 6589 on 960*540 and some use 6589M.

Hi, I just got 2 HTC ones. I just rooted mine which is the HK model 801s.

I got some trouble flashing CWM but now it's ok. It's now unlocked and perm rooted.

My wife's 802D is half in Chinese. Worst, it's not Google Play but Baidu Apps. So most of the apps she wanna use are in Chinese (most of the time does not exist at all...).

Anyway, such a long story short:

I want to know if the rooting and flashing process used in xda has been tried on a Chinese model (802d, t or w)? it's the one with removable back cover, SD slot and dual SIM.

I would like to go through the whole process in order to flash another RUU. She likes stock ROMs but not with only CN soft :D

Nb: I'm not talking of apps blocked here (facebook, twitter...). It's just the apps I have on the HK which are working perfectly here (flickr, skype...).

nb2: i already tried to install Google Play. it just opens then closes...

Thanks in advance... If I need to provide any more info, just ask. I will at least update with version nbrs later.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truc007:
Based on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2223236

802d is m7_D type but on xda it's mainly for m7_UL. Mine (801s) is UL version.

The 802d is TDCDMA (while US is CDMA and EU/HK are WCDMA), no idea about 4G.

Hi,

I would need confirmation from other users, if it is normal to have total data loss (including installed programs) if I remove even for a few seconds the battery of the Qtek 2020. The internal battery indicator shows 100% and seems OK.

Many thanks

And happy new year !

if it loose some data it loose all

installed programs are in ram just like everything else

some people report that they get hardresets from removing the battery

others say that if one make sure to set the phone to flightmode and

use the little red switch by the battery it dont happens

never had the problem myself but then i never remove my battery....

Thanks for the info, I tried it very quickly with flight

mode on and data was still there.

This evening, I will try it for a few seconds.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chokem:
Hi guys. Not new to rooting but new to my AT&T S4. I rooted it tonight with Motochopper and installed CWM recovery. Downloaded and tried to flash a ROM, and it simply didn't work. Then I tried Beanstalk 4.2.2, and it downloads, but then when I rebooted it, it gave me the yellow triangle unauthorized software message. So I pulled the battery and finally got it to boot into recovery, then installed the back up I had from the stock OS. My question is two fold-what's causing this and if I download a ROM with the Loki patch, will that bypass the error message I'm getting. I searched the forums but am not understanding what was written. I'm pretty confused, any help would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Furies:
So, to sum up development in this forum for the last 3 months: The ATT version of the S4 has a locked bootloader, which is a fancy way of saying ATT and Samsung don't want custom software on their phone partitions. To keep people from installing custom ROMs, their bootloader requires a verified signature present in the ROM to actually allow the device to boot.

An individual found a way to trick this verification process, and created a patch for it called LOKI.

When a ROM is "Loki'd" it contains this workaround for the verification process in the bootloader, allowing custom software to be installed.

To answer your question, when you root your phone and install the recovery (TWRP or OUDHS): a ROM must be lokied to work. OUDHS recovery has a feature which automatically installs the workaround in every ROM you flash using the utility. I recommend this version of Clockwork Recovery.

The link is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2291956

I personally use the nightly CyanogenMod 10.1 builds for the ATT S4 (called jlteatt). They're quick and stable except for a few quirks with the camera, call-audio via headsets, and bluetooth audio.

The link to download is here:

http://get.cm/?device=jflteatt

*This version of CM 10.1 is already Loki'd

Have fun flashing, and if all else fails and you accidentally run into a scenario where you can't boot your phone, use this utility to restore the factory OS that comes with the phone.

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isimobile:
I think you can root the tablet if you unlock the bootloader. If you want root currently on the 253 version, you can unlock the bootloader and install cwm recovery. I have not done so, maybe someone else can confirm.

Flash DooMLoRDs CWM Recovery and boot into recovery an you'll get root as a side effect. Make sure you flash a Superuser zip....

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhruvaz:
you and many others (me for example.) seems like many of devs havent got sgp321 in hand so they're more focused in sgp311 and312. I've mentioned before there is paradox for sgp321.

# You can backup Ta partition for bravia engine 2 and drm keys.

# But you cant do that without root.

# You cant Root (yet) without unlocking bootloader.

# With bootloader unlocked you'll lost DRM key and BA2 forever. (you cant flash others TA partition you'll hard brick the device).

I've asked a question in QA if the mods can make three subforums for SGP 321,311 and 312 so that people wont flash wrong tft or try flashing wrong firmware in wrong device as every Model is reffered to Xperia Z ( I almost flashed xperia Z phone's firmware to SGP 321) its just disaster waiting to happen.

well actually there is but from xperia z smartphone (it was 10.1.A.1.434 before came update to 10.1.1.A.1.253 ). Furthermore smartphone has the same hardware as tablet (Wifi+LTE), the difference seems to be only in screen size, and camera. So if you take the risk you can downgrade to .434, get root and the update to .253.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildcontigo:
I just got my HTC one three days ago. Came from sensation which was good for me thanks to all the devs, roms and kernels available.

Now, this phone is a monster as it is. Is it really worth rooting and flashing roms? Stock seems to be pretty stable, and again this beast flies nonetheless.

Any input is appreciated.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Stock is really good now, unless you want to play really demanding games like NFSMW or Modern Combat 4 etc etc. HTC has set the CPU AND GPU to throttle at 40c which is ridiculously low. So if you hit these temps regularly, games would suddenly start stuttering and lagging till it goes below 40c. With a custom kernel you can tweak this, so personally that's the biggest advantage I have of going that route :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FanDroid09:
Haha this is XDA man... Of course everyone is gonna say its worth it.

Personally I thought the same, stock sense is stable, smooth, and fast.

However I'm a bit of a flashaholic so I got bored within a couple weeks. And development is starting to get very very interesting. There's a ton of fantastic devs and nearly every major aosp ROM has popped up. Most of them are very stable and are getting better and better.

Its really up to you but my vote is to hold out a while, maybe until official 4.2.2 and if you get bored like I did, flash away!

Stock is very fast. I like being rooted however so I just flash ARHD when I want to have the stock look n feel

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
I'd stay stock. I have to admit I rooted mine and have regretted it ever since. Just doesn't feel the same even when I return to stock. The only thing good on custom roms is the settings toggles at the top of the notification bar, and it doesn't look like 4.2.2 Roms are going to have it anymore barring trickdroid.

Custom kernels introduce new issues like touch buttons not working properly and bugs and instability.

My phone was the most stable, fast and bug free when it was stock and I enjoyed it more when it was stock too. Can't go more than a day now without flashing something else to try and iron out each bug that comes up.

My vote is stay stock and enjoy your phone before it's too late.

As for cm and aosp, I can't see how they will survive much longer as stock Google loses a LOT of functionality and has awful stock apps including an awful camera app. Phones have moved past them now in my opinion and I can't see how they'll survive much longer unless they start getting access to the proper camera apps that come built into the phones.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raf2k:
