Whoa...a lot a work there...well done! Did you check out mazda6club.com to get the info to take your radio out? Just a fyi for all your future tinkering...I'm a mod over there ;)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ilanderek:
LOL no, I had no idea of that site I had to look at youtube videos, but thanks to you now I know where to ask :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rahib172:
Oh wow it looks really cool, but how do we make it ?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ilanderek:
OK OK let's do something, tell me what car you have and I'll try to give you ideas on how to do it:D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lucke:
it seems like the money spent on a one time accessory is still cheaper than replacing an interior dash piece when you're trying to sell the car (if that happens).

i know for me that spending $80 on a hard wired mount kit from pro-clip is much cheaper than getting replacement panels for my S2000...

kudo's for the work, but i guess it all depends on what car you have to determine if it's worth it to be drilling into your interior panels or not.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Andrew025:
I'm assuming he means how do you make the mount. But it looks like you used a pre-made mount.

Thread title is a bit inaccurate.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
Here are a couple of pictures of my modified orb and the USB cable goes underneath the dash to a car charger that goes into a female port and the two wires that come out of the female port go to the fuse box and the ground. Now the phone is mounted right in my line of sight and it charges at the same time. I've posted this in a few other threads so I hope I'm not getting redundant with these posts but I'm trying to show everybody how simple this is to do and how you can avoid all of the bulk that those aftermarket accessories will give you when you have to mount them to your dashboard or in your cup holder.:)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sns-nexus:
Hi,

I have a new nexus 4. Not rooted. Have not used it much.

I am not able to connect to google play store on my home wifi. Most of the sites, if not all, are working fine. On my office wifi, I am able to connect to the play store and even download apps.

On my home network, I can visit play.google.com on the browser but any attempt to signin times out.

One of the difference on the provider setting is that the MTU on my home network is 1256.

Please help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Have you tried going to Settings -> Apps -> "All" tab -> Google Play -> Force Stop, Clear cache and Data, reboot and then try re-opening the play store?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sns-nexus:
I have tried clearing the cache/data rebooting etc. It simply does not work on the home wifi but works on my office wifi. This makes me believe that this is some network specific setting. The problem is how do I go about finding what and fixing it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Probably DNS settings, your router may not be working correctly as a DNS relay, in which case you may need to set your settings manually in the phone to a static IP (which will make the DNS fields show up) an use something like google's public servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in the DNS fields.

Alternatively you can log into your router and set up the DNS entries correctly there too.

That's the main thing that comes to mind.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sns-nexus:
Thanks for the reply but the DNS is fine. As I said, most of the sites work fine including google search etc. I am seriously suspecting MTU as the culprit as I had to set it manually on my laptop too. Earlier my laptop had problems esp with sites providing https protocol.

Is there a easy way to change the MTU and try?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
If MTU was the culprit, you would think all the other internet-based apps would have problems too on the phone, as it's not exactly an app-level tweak.

Maybe try providing a logcat when Play store fails. You'd be surprised what debugging information you can find with just a log output.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sns-nexus:
I tried to capture the logs. Please see the attached file and suggest.

Hi I was just wondering if anyone has any comments on which is the best sat nav program Tom Tom 3 Nav or Alturion 6. I am using tom tom at the moment but having a few problems so might switch to alturion.
[General Topics] Guest:
I've used both and I do believe that Alturion is the better of the two.

+ The fact that you have an PC-application as well as an pda one

+ you can combine different maps and make them as one, so you don't have to change maps at the border. Tom Tom has European roads, but then it lacks the detail where you want it. Alturion you can have like the area where you start, 5km around your planned route, and the province of your destination, in high detail, and the so build map, wouldn't be larger than any other map.

So why do I have TomTom then, well because of the price

TomTom costs 169€

Alturion 129€, but Alturion charges 79€/year for support

TomTom has a larger community so easier to find addons like Poicheck

but most importantly TomTom is warez, Alturion I haven't found as warez

:twisted: :twisted:
[General Topics] endoson:
What do u mean by warez?
[General Topics] edsub:
warez = free version to 'test' a commercial app.

you wont be suprised that testing will take forever

in other words: it is not officially licensed and thus illegal s/w
[General Topics] kdodd:
alturion v6 is on the newsgroups

maps are updated more freq with altruion theres some nice features but the menus are a bit fiddly also its speed sensor function is good

it automatically calls out if your exceding the speed limit for the particular road your driving on

nice that it works on my laptop as well as xda2

suppose tt3 is good as its easyily used but it needsds more updates for maps

tt4 is out but not tried it yet

xda2 with alturion 6 standard

Hi

I am new to this site, I am a proud owner of a second hand XDA2. I already have alturion std 6 version with a serial gps receiver.I have installed it on my xda2 and when i try to export maps, for some reason it says i dont have active sync on my computer. It is strange because i would'nt have installed alturion on my xda2 without active sync. By the way I have active sync 4.2 on my PC.

Any help will be very much appreciated

cheers

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
Hi all,

I;m considering factory reset because TSF (my favorite shell) has stopped working. I uninstalled and installed again and can't get it to work. It used to work and it works on my Nexus 7, but refuses to start on Note. I did everything I could imagine and still no go. Now, everything ELSE works just great :) but still this makes me nervous and I'm considering factory reset.

Now, my questions. I have backed up whole internal SD to external SD from Ghost Commander. I have Titanium backup of all apps. I have exported SMS, Call log, Wifi hotspots and Favorites to xml from Titanium. From main apps, I have done backup (Setting profiles, Folder Organizer, Nova Louncher). Contacts are on google. And all of that is also on dropbox :)

Is there anything else I forgot?

1) What exactly can I expect from factory reset - will my ROOT be gone? SU? Can be restored from Titanium?

2) What about Xposed and Xposed modules? Can they be restored from Titanium or I need to install again?

Thanx and regards,

D.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
If you're on stock, your root will be gone I suppose. You might have to install some manually, depends. Titanium is brilliant, but not foolproof. I had plenty of failed restores with Titanium when it came to individual apps.

I always just do a nandroid just in case.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
With factory reset, root will stay.

Just open xposed installer and hit install then reboot.

Wanted to share this T-Mobile flyer - GS4 @ $99 down + 10% off on bill + no activation fees. You have to call customer service to activate and mention association with Student rate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XxKINGxX2580:
thanks! i'll be using that promotion :D i was just now about to add a line to my account...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] macaumen:
What do you mean by "mention association with Student rate"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Deleted member 2747343:
can you explain it a little more? i got the galaxy s4 a day before the price dropped to 99$ can i still get this discount on my phone? like a 50$ card or something and the 10% off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Wish &^*%(% TMo would make up their mind.

Right after its release they told me that their days of discounting a phone with a contract or extension were gone forever when dealing directly with them, but for now, third party vendors were still being permitted to so. Got mine from Costco because of that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] naive1016:
Is this with contract, or is it the prepaid thing. I have been waiting for the S4 to become $100 with data plan. We use the data and I don't see myself canceling the contract so paying $100 for the phone with data seems like a better deal to me than paying $600 plus data for the phone. Does this also include activation fee and if so, can it be waived? How much is one paying with this deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crawler9:
Just picked up a Galaxy S4 yesterday at T-Mobile. $99 down (plus tax on the full retail cost of the phone - $579 at the moment) brought me up to about $146 at the store and a promise of $20/month for 24 months. Is it just me or does it seem a lot more expensive to get a phone through T-Mobile these days?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Per my earlier post - yes. Go to 3rd party vendors. Walmart just advertised $199 with a $50 gift certificate . That would be new line or two year extension - no $20/month BS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aimfire72:
No. You're basically buying the phone outright, but for $99 down with the remaining 480 spread out over 2 years with no interest. If you were to buy the S4 outright at AT&T or Verizon, etc. then you'd have to pony up the total $579 right then and there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aimfire72:
Can't find any info on this, so anyone with personal experience: Can you take this deal if you're on the $30 pre-paid monthly plan? T-Mobile just posted a simaler offer on their Facebook page today....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] realbreezy:
did this expire?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
Still think you are not getting it folks or I am missing something.

Why buy from TMo when you can get a much better deal elsewhere (unless you would not be eligible for the two year extension requirement and you don't want a new line)?

I was eligible but TMo would not deal - they even suggested I go elsewhere for the phone which I did. Then I sold my Note 2 (too big for my pocket - especially on my bike) for over twice what I paid for the S4..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crawler9:
Yeah, but the way the plans were before, you could pay the up front cost of the phone, sign a 2 year contract, and either get the phone without much additional cost with the plans you intended to keep anyway, or pay a $200 ETF which in this case would put you completely out of contract with a Galaxy S4 for $299. With the way things are now, you pony up an extra $280 over the course of two years (or up front, or at any point in between up front and two years) to reach the same state you could have reached for $299 + tax + activation before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] statuzz:
Guys, its basically the same thing. The only difference I see is that before this change happened, if you knew you were going to be in a two years contract and it didn't matter to you, you could buy the phone for $199. Now you just have to buy it full price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
You are basically right as to buying it from TMo. My point is don't - you could get if for $199 with 2 year extension but now this is down to $149 elsewhere.

TMo said they will be reining in the third party sellers soon so they can't do it anymore, so take advantage of it now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tricksie:
You can find a lot more info on this deal here . Sry I didn't post that link before. this deal is with the no-contract plan (but not prepaid plan) .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Renzo011:
I have personally used this deal with the galaxy S4 - I signed up on the phone to confirm with a rep that discount was applied properly. I pay $54.00 for unlimited talk text and 2.5GB of data + $20 of monthly payment for the phone. I have one line on my plan. Hope this helps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ITALIANNYC:
T-Mobile paid off my old EIP and put the 99 plus taxes on my bill coming next month. Came out to 151 down on my bill next month. Free Express shipping, and also gave me 10 dollars off a month for 6 months on my bill.

Gotta love T-Mobile. Been with them 7 years.

That was from just talking to the right rep. No specific deal
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Renzo011:
It's all about talking to the right rep. Last time I called with a billing question, I ended up speaking with someone who didn't really know what was going on instead of trying to make my case I just hung up and called back and spoke with a super helpful rep after.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pkl787:
Yeah, it depends on the rep you talk to. I got my phone for $99 down plus taxes, but since I didn't want to convert my plan to the new plans, they let me keep my 1000 minutes + unlimited text + 2.5 gb data plan and gave me a discount that was about $25 a month on my bill...

So technically by buying the phone for about $150 up front and $5 cheaper monthly plan ($20 a month for the phone but $25 off a month discount) over two years I save myself $120 (24 x 5) and actually only paid $30 for the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardlibeau:
Paid $128 to get mine yesterday. The $20 a month for 2 years is a long ride though

but I guess it beats paying $ 580 outright. You can find one on craigslist new in the box for $475 but that's shaky sometimes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skip-Breezy:
I want to do this offer when I get paid next week but my little credit history might be a big setback.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aimfire72:
Anyone know if this deal is good with prepaid plans?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aimfire72:
Ok, answered my own question today: No. :(

T-Mobile store said the deal is only with the $50 plan, no prepaid. Figured as much.

---------- Post added at 11:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

My credit was a little iffy, so they wanted $200 deposit, plus $279 down for the phone. For $100 more, I could just buy the phone outright, which is what I'll probably end up doing. :rolleyes:

Weird, because I've never had any problems opening new lines at AT&T, just got a One two months ago from them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] edgewoodzgimp13:
Your missing the point. T-mobile had stopped subsidizing their phones and don't require you to technically be in contract for 2 years. They've allowed you to purchase a high end phone with a small upfront cost and essentially finance the remaining balance over the course of 2 years. If you cancel your service you won't pay a "termination fee" but your obligated to pay the remaining balance of the phone; depending on the device and how much you've paid off on your remaining balance its essentially the same. However, the added benefit is this. Since your not under contract you can upgrade at anytime you like and always get the best rate on the next device providing you pay off your previous balance. I believe all carriers require you to wait 22-24 months to get the best 2 year pricing, even T-Mobile did this until now. So yeah you might be able to currently get a better deal with other carriers but good luck upgrading to the next device a year from now at the price T-Mobile will offer. Yeah you end up paying full retail price on the phone but they've lowered prices on plans to offset the price of the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aimfire72:
Yup, it is a good deal - if you have perfect credit, lol. :rolleyes:

You pay the $99 down, keep it for a year, you'll have paid off $340 so far. At that point you can easily sell off the phone for at least the remaining $240 and get yourself the S5. That's what I would've done. I'm just gonna end up buying it full price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
The point is there is not any significant benefit to upgrading, as you are now paying pretty much full price going forward - which you could always do before. Not paying a termination fee only comes into effect if you want to drop a line.

If the plans are significantly lower priced, that would make a difference - but how much lower are their plan rates going forward? I had asked them about that, and they said they had a window where giving up the discounted upgrade phone price would have lowered rates, but that window had closed. .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aimfire72:
I take it back, learned more about the deal at two T-Mobile stores today and it's BS, same old story as before, except you can break contract.

No one would give me the $579 deal if I bought outright. Only way to get it is by signing up on their lame $50 plan, the one with 500mb/data, lol. And they want to run a credit check for this plan too - for a "no contract" plan, that makes no sense. Anyways, they wanted to charge me $649 for the phone outright with prepaid. They were kind of dicks about it too, so I said forget it, went to AT&T and got it for $639. Same phone, just as easily unlockable.

So no ones saving any money with T-Mobile's new deals, unless you're adding 3+ lines to an account. Better off going with a traditional carrier contract plan, at least they're upfront about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ITALIANNYC:
Really? I pay 59.99 a month for unlimited everything, then 20 a month for the phone itself. That is better than any of the big 4/ At anytime, I can just sell my phone, pay off what I owe and buy a brand new one. So anyone would be saving money.

Also, for anyone reading this, never go to t-mobile stores for anything. Do your business with them on the phone. You get better deals when you speak to the right rep.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MelissaSanders:
I second that. Call the rep at the CS number, don't ever go to the store. If you don't like what the rep tells you, tell them you'll think about it and call back till you get what you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hella356:
So, call 866.464.8662, mention the "Student rate", and that should do it? Does this work if you're still locked into a contract? I have until November or December before my 2 year is up, but if I can upgrade from my S2 for this little money down, I'll try it. Thanks!

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 PM ----------

I called the number. I'm now heading to a branch to pick up my new S4 for $99, and the new talk/text/data rate is $10 less per month, to boot. Whoohoo!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tricksie:
You have to mention the promo code 13997TMOFAV and Student rate for the discount to be applied
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MelissaSanders:
So they allowed you to order it over the phone then pick it up in the store?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tricksie:
The rep ordered it over the phone and they shipped it to my house
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LFrank342:
Does this promotion work with the JUMP program?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crawler9:
Oops, clicked "Thanks" instead of reply first. Anyway...

The promotion ended on the 9th, according to the flyer. So that's probably a no, but I'm not 100% sure if there's a way to still get the promotion if you go through the right people or beg. Your chances would be undoubtedly higher if you've been a T-Mobile customer for a long time.

You could probably still get a corporate discount without issue regardless, but the Galaxy S4 cost has returned to $150 down now rather than $99 down, bringing your total cost for the phone to $629 over 2 years rather than $579

The T-Mobile Jump plan should be available for any new phone purchase as long as you have monthly payments on the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] bighead1:
I have been doing a lot of research on china-made unlocked android phone lately, particularly at the $200 level. For $200, I probably can get a IPS 1280*720 screen, MTK6589 Quad Core of 1.2 GHz speed, usually with 1GB Ram (or 2GB if you are willing to pay $20 more), 4G or 8G Rom, and TF card support. Of course, you will get ever higher resolution if you are willing to pay another $20 more. In most case, it only supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz, and 850/2100MHz for 3G. Note that not all china-made android phone can support all the freq band, so you have to be very careful to the description (and trust what it says). Then with "a lot" of luck and patience, you can get what you pay for, given that everything works okay (with luck). It's a lot of research, careful reading and comparison, tons of homework to do, and most important, with the best of your luck to hope for the phone that comes to you fine without any problem. In most case, forgive about accessories, for example, a bumper to replace the cheap flip case that comes with etc. After 3 weeks of research, I ask myself, is it worth to buy a $200 china made phone in order to save $100-$150 here? Or do I wish to lower my requirement of get a $100 level china-made phone which is only equipped with a dual core processor?

At the flip side, I'm looking at the unlocking android phone that is available here in the US, at $200 level or $300-350 level. At $200 level, I probably can't find a phone with quad core . So how about at $300-$250 level. The only choice left is Nexus 4. 1280x768 IPS screening, Gorilla Glass 2, Quad core 1.5 GHz speed, 2GB Ram, unlock GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz, 850, 900, 1700, 1900, 2100 MHz for 3G, $300 for 8GB rom version, $3500 for 16GB rom version. The only drawback is no TF card support.

If a china-made unlocked phone with quad core is only at $100-$150, it's a no-braining question, go for it. But for $200, I begin to feel that it's a lot and I want to get what I pay for and rely less on my luck. So, why not giving $100-$150 more to get a Nexus 4.

I'm confused, any comments are welcome. Thanks.
