Im not a massive pirate i pay for apps that i really use because i agree developers ect, but i used lucky patcher and installed custom playstore and i download a bad app and it let me refund it and keep the app, is there a bad side to this? isnt it illegal and can you get in trouble or not, seems strange but wanna use for some apps to try out for bit longer then 15 mins:), thanks

No, you can't get in trouble. Nothing happened probably. Google isn't fooled that easily.

But dude.. Stop using lucky patcher. People work hard for making those apps, and the paying customer is their only income. How would you like to work for nothing?

So please, if you, for whatever reason, can't purchase apps, stick with the free ones.

Dear wonderful community.

Yesterday my htc one was lost..sad. So i went and purchased a brand new t-mobile samsung galaxy s4 (m919).

I went home and wished to root it. Simple process. Just one big problem. My pc did not want to recognize my phone.

Ok. So i figured let me go to the website and download latest drivers. Nope! Didnt work. Ok, let me try the kies method. Nope! Didnt work either. There is literally nothing that is going in my favor at the moment. I tried my friends galaxy s2, hey what do you know, easily recognized. Tried my s4 again. Nope! Absolutely refuses to be recognized. So here we are at work. Tried on my work pc. Guess what? Nope again!

Somebody please please please help me!

And again im sorry if this is a repost topic, if so please just point me in the right direction! Thank you ahead of time!

[HTC One V] IMadeYouReadThis:
I tried flashing different ROMs .. wiped everything .. but still .. this problem persists ..

My phone sometimes switches off automatically without any notification or anything and it won't turn on until I connect it to a usb or my charger .. it won't be a low battery problem as ;

1 : if battery is low .. it won't show wrong battery stats even if I flash a new ROM ..

2 : It will show a shutting down notification when all the juice is flushed out of the battery ..

It happens anyhow and anytime .. I can't judge it by any application bug or anything of that sort...

I experienced it on using whatsapp, facebook, xda, browsers .. so basically it has nothing to so with the applications I use ..

The only possibility would be that my battery itself has its last breaths on count... Isn't it? Or do you have any other theory? .. please help me out folks.. I am worried!

Problem : Phone shuts down like the way the screen turns off while we lock it, anytime anywhere..

And please don't say that it would be happening because of the underclocking .. phone may go to deep sleep .. but it won't shut down in such cases ..

The moment I connect a charging cord .. the phone shows the HTC quietly brilliant sign and starts up .. so basically I can't carry my charger or a usb cord everywhere ..:banghead:

Hi Techies, I have just bought a 2nd hand XDA II which was locked to O2. I used the unlocking program listed on this website to unlock it to all networks. However when I am attempting to charge the phone in the cradle provided, the phone resets itself once removed and loses all the information I have stored on it, including Email Accounts, Connections etc so I have to start from scratch again re-building it. Can anyone tell me how to stop the phone from doing this ? Also, is there a way of changing the OS from the O2 OS to Orange ? I tried the orange Website for the latest Rom upgrade but when I tried to install it, it came up with a Country Error. My XDA 2 Details as follows :

[HTC EVO 3D] pcout64:
So I was just in a boot loop on my stock ROM that was rooted and I was trying to install a custom ROM but got stuck in a boot loop. So I followed a bunch of things and ended up getting stuck at my carrier logo loading screen. So I found another thing that said to go into recovery (which I did using clockworkmod) and install a new custom ROM (which I did, and that ROM being cyanogenmod). So I installed this new ROM and now I'm back into the boot loop but this time it loops through the cyanogenmod loading screen, the HTC turning on screen, and a plain black off screen. HELP MEE!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] hossman:
I suggest using 4ext recovery

If you want any other Rom than stock-based, you need to lower your hboot to 1.5 or lower

You can only change hboot if you are s off

If you are s on, install 4ext recovery and make sure smartflash is enabled.

you need to be sure and wipe all partitions except your sd card.

If it still bootloops, you need to get the boot.IMG from the Rom, and flash it in fastboot USB mode.
[HTC Droid DNA] skidawgz:
Hey, I have a Moto Bionic right now, and time has finally slowed it down. Considering buying the DNA off contract and I'd like to know the ups and downs of the phone. I have Google Streaming Service and unlimited Data, so I won't be bothered by the lack of SD expansion.

Is the non-removable battery a problem? Can the battery be replaced if you peel the phone apart? (like an iPhone)

How stable are the ROMS?

How is the sound quality? I don't like beats headphones, but I assume this phone had more attention focused on the DAC than my current phone.

Tell me the common gripes about this phone, if you don't mind, so I can decide if any are a deal breaker.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Droid DNA] curly9:
Roms are stable the battery Idk if it can be replace but posible mabe. The batery life is pretty decent as long as you know what to do to save the battery when its not in use. the screen is great and recently got great with crpalmers kernal with the color fix or update where they took out a code.
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
I'd just wait to get the one
[HTC Droid DNA] skidawgz:
Hey, I didn't specify but I won't be buying full priced but rather used. So financially, the One would be twice the price. Definitely an awesome phone, though.

Color fix noted, waiting to hear more about any quirks.
[HTC Droid DNA] Symbiontsoul:
Get the phone. I came from a bionic as well. Its so much better of a phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] Character Zero:
I was going to wait for the One but decided to get the DNA now since the bootloader was unlocked. I am running the NOS rom which is Sense 5. The screen is great and for me the 5 inch screen may be the best screen size after going from Gnex>S3>Note2>RAZR Maxx>S3>DNA. I thought the battery would be th achilies heel, but its actually pretty good. My test is usually letting it sit overnight on wifi (its the constant I can do with any phone) and see how much battery is lost. In my case it was around 5-8% over a 8 or so hour night. <1% drain per hour is pretty good in my book. Also I got 2 nokia DT900 wireless plates, one for work and one for home. So I just set it down on the plate and pick it up with more battery.

I was at the point wondering if I should lose my unlimited and jump on the One this summer, pay full price for the One (didn't want to do that), or jump on a DNA, keep my unlimited and have the same Sense 5 experience.

The sound is pretty good, I just listen to podcasts but there is a difference between beats on an off, beats one the sound fuller. And this is over a BT headphones.
[HTC Droid DNA] skidawgz:
OK, are there any good ROMs that attempt a Nexus-like pure Android Experience?

I like Sense a lot, I would want to try both.

Anyone know if the battery can be changed so that when the fold gets older, it can be replaced?
[HTC Droid DNA] Character Zero:
Really if you just change out the launcher, you can get a mostly Nexus experience except for the notification pulldown, settings, and lock screen. But you still get the Beats and stuff. I believe there are some CM 10.1 roms for a pure AOSP experience. But I do think there are some Sense roms that allow you to customize to remove some Sense stuff. Look at the ROMs OP and see the options and screenshots.

I am not sure about the battery. But there was a company offering JTag S-Off before the bootloader unlocks that I think required a opening of the device. So I assume it can be done, not sure where you would source a new battery. But by the time the battery loses life maybe 1-2 years, you can buy a used DNA2 or One for cheap.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
There are plenty of stock based ROMs.
[HTC Droid DNA] Mnorton1228:
As everyone has mentioned the phone is phenomenal. I've been through the Droid X, Thunderbolt, Razr Maxx, and Gnex. The DNA blows every single one of them out of the water. Once you play around with your settings you can get nice battery life. My battery stats for today are 3:02:43 Screen on time 22% battery left after 16 hours. That's pretty stellar in my book. I just got Lux today which I need to play around with but I'm pretty sure I should be pushing 4-5 hours screen on time by the time I have everything said and done.

Definitely look into getting Tasker, Lux, and Greenify for your battery saving needs. I use tasker to control my wifi/4g data so that I automatically use WiFi wherever applicable and 4g at all other times. Lux is an auto-brightness tool of amazingness I just picked up, and Greenify hibernates your apps so they don't leech your battery in the background.

I think you'll fall in love with the phone if you decide to get it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
Yea I'd go with this then. Great phone. I'm from a nexus. I hate sense. I like aosp

The roms are great. Few bugs like certain Bluetooth scenarios and some audio things (can still play music and do basic functions, you probably won't notice) and you can use the htc google camera because some aosp roms ffc doesn't work
[HTC Droid DNA] voxigenboy:
the only real down of the phone is that there's no micro sd slot. i know some people were worried about the battery life(myself included), but this phone's battery life is pretty decent considering the screen size. everything runs so smooth on it even on stock. additionally, the phone doesn't seem to ever overheat like every other 4g-lte phone i've owned. for instance, my last htc phone(rezound) used to overheat like crazy. it would be really bad when downloading a torrent via adownloader new... i'd have to occasionally put the phone in the freezer for 5 - 10 min to cool it down. this dna doesn't do that at all.
[HTC Droid DNA] revfarquhar:
Is the bootloader on the DNA still unlockable? Say if I bought one brand new today, could I still unlock the bootloader? The most recent info I can find is from a thread that was locked quite awhile ago.

We upgraded from Droid 3s to DNAs when Verizon offered them free a few weeks back. Improvements all around, including battery. My wife stays stock, I tinker, though I'm trying to keep it OTA updatable (for now). In addition to using Nova Launcher or similar, Holo Locker helps with the Nexus look.

Edit: FYI Best Buy just ran a commercial - DNAs free with two year contract.
[HTC Droid DNA] jedibob7:
I'd highly recommend Carbon Rom if you wanted a pure nexus experience. As for the phone itself it has a decent battery and a beautiful screen, but I must advise getting a good case as the screen is glass and will shatter if you drop it on a corner unfortunately I am speaking from experience.

I am planning on hooking my S4 up to O2 or Vodafone when I get there with a Talk/SMS plan, but maybe no data.

Will this phone be able to lock in with GPS without having a data plan?

Thanks, guys.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
I could be wrong but I don't think you have to have a data plan to use GPS. Here's the reason behind my response:

My neighbor has been asking if he can use an unactivated iPhone as a speedometer in his 1930 Model A. At first, I said no, then researched and found mixed responses. So this morning I removed the sim from my S4 and drove to work with a speedometer app I had previously downloaded. To my suprise, it worked.

Try removing your sim card and navigating. That'd answer your question.

You do not need a data plan to use the standalone GPS functionality. If AGPS data is old it might take longer for a fix, but that's about it. It's the maps and software that you'd need to be cached/stored locally.

As proof, here is an amusing screenshot for you, and no, it's not a GPS glitch. ;)
