I love android because it gives apple a good run for their ICR*P.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WhoWhere:
My story begins when I took a visit to a t-mobile store and purchased my first smart phone: a my touch 3g slide. I learned a lot from that tank of a device. I think I spent 8 hours or more reading xda before I finally gained root access.

I love android for way too many reasons than I can list here. But my top reasons include:

Not being locked down to what some corporation says I will enjoy.

Having a sense of community on XDA with like-minded individuals.

Having the freedom to truly make my device mine.

Getting a new hobby which I'm constantly intellectually simulated and challenged.

Being able to perform tasks that usually could only be performed on my computer on the go.

To say that Android has changed my life for the better would be an understatement. Not only has it made my communications easier, is made a lot of my daily tasks either automated, faster or streamlined.

I can't think of any mobile platform that can currently accomplish everything android can. At least not so effortlessly. Many have made the claim but anyone who does their research knows that the claims are false.

^^^Isn't that breaking the rules of the contest? LoL

Why do I love android?

I love android because of the freedom it offers. Its not limited to one phone, released by one company, released once a year. Android hasn't really changed the way I look for a smart phone, but XDA sure has.

How I came to Android and how it has positively impacted my day to day routine?

Well, like many others, I was an apple fanboy at one time and I had that one friend that had to rub in my face how much better his android phone was than my iPhone 2g (my favorite iPhone of them all...seriously). I got tired of my friend showing of his android phone (the original droid with the keyboard) so I traded my iPhone 2g for a Mytouch 3g with the 3.5mm headphone jack. Oh my god, I fell in love with android, being able to add widgets to the home screen blew my mind. Ever since I've had nothing but android devices (I played with an iPhone here and there, couldn't resist). Android has not positively impacted my life in any way, shape or form. It made me discover XDA and then I became a flash-aholic (may need a 12-step program lol). To be serious, android has positively impacted my life, it made me realize how much more I can do and allows me to do with a phone.

Android Superior?

Yes and no. Without the Devs and helpful members here on XDA, I think I would be on the borderline of switching back to an iPhone. The main reason I like iphones is because of the battery life and the stability of the OS. Without XDA, we would be stuck with whatever Google and the OEM gives us, which is fine for average user who just texts, uses internet, play games and make calls as well as download a home screen replacement and a few widgets, but most of us here on XDA are here for a reason. In some ways Android is superior to other OS's, but in other ways the other OS's are superior.

To fix the wifi problem:

1.- start odin 3.04

2.- put modem in Phone button

3.- uncheck auto reboot of odin

4.- flash modem

5.- reboot in download Mode again (without turn on the Phone)

6.- flash modem again

7.- reboot manually

8.- wifi working normally

:) i tried with 3 modem and works perfect

Ps: fix the 64gb sd card problem too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BillGoss:
If you manually/hard boot into download (power+vol-dn), then the modem will flash the very first time - no need to flash it again.

[Galaxy S 4 General] touness69:
What wifi problem it exactly fixes, is it the random disconection from the router or is it the problem of not detecting any network ??

And at the step 6 do we flash modem in the phone button again or is it a regular flash of the modem in modem button ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] lpguio:
Not detecting any network...

The really problem is that it do not detect any network. I tried to pair it using wifi direct with an s3 and the s3 shows the same problem, it don't detects any network too. Both phones use Android 4.2.2.

Should i have to make a regular flash or what elses...I would like to fix firstly the s4 and later s3.

Thx in advanced.

Hello. I currently have a Galaxy S3 with CyanogenMod 10.1 flashed on it and whenever I try to make a call I get "Mobile Network Not Available". It started earlier today when I tried to make a call it would ring for about 5 seconds and then it would just end the call. So naturally I restarted the phone. Now I just get "Mobile Network Not Available". I've looked at multiple threads discussing this issue yet none of them actually solved the problem.

Hi people

This is my first time posting here, Im sure this question was asked quite a few times, but i couldnt find any relevant posts in the foum.

So I backed up my phone using CWM before flashing Slimbean ROM, Now I'm done flashing and want to get back y data including contacts sms photos etc. Is there anyway to do so using CWM? everytime i try restoring it restores back to the stock ROM. is there anyway to just restore the data on my phone and not the Stock ROM?

thx for the help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
What you can do is boot into CWMR and then go to the "backup and restore" section, then select the "advanced restore" option. After you have selected the "advanced restore" option, select the backup you made before you flashed Slimbean ROM, then it will ask you which partition you want to restore select "Restore data" it will now restore your data from before you flashed Slimbean ROM to the current ROM you have installed while still keeping the ROM you have installed on your device. After the data finished restoring go back to the CWMR main menu and select "reboot system now", the device will now reboot and you should be all set with your restored data while still keeping the ROM you have installed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brenhead:
Flash stock ROM and backup stuff on SD card using nandroid. Flash custom ROM and boot into recovery. Select NANdroid > Advanced Restore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zha0040:
I tried doing this, but everytime after i restore data, and reboot system my phone gets stuck in the start up screen. not sure whats wrong
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
After you restore data in recovery make sure to wipe the cache partition and dalvik cache as well as this is likely what's causing you to bootloop.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] neo668:
BB shouldn't cause any problems for root. The worst that could happen is you won't be able to use your communication hardware like Phone and Mobile Data because different countries use different BB. You won't know till you try it. If it doesn't work then just revert back, or try another.

FWIW, I've tried BB77(from an ICS FW) on GB and there was no problem.

[General Questions and Answers] trssho91:
Hello everyone! I have a really stupid question, but here it goes... I have crappy hearing so I can't use my nexus 4 with its factory volume. I figured out how to increase the volume with a simple build.prop edit. My question is how can I simply unroot the device after making my edits without restoring back to stock. I don't like to leave that security door hanging wide open. All my search results about unrooting seem to be for prepping a device for a warranty return or just going full stock. Before anyone says "just run cm10" since it has a toggle and its better anyway, let me say that I don't want to for this device. I run and love cm on my gs3 and n7, but I want my n4 to be stock so it gets the new software updates from Google. My gs3 is my main phone, the n4 is my toy. ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Madalinsuny:
I really do not think you can unroot WITHOUT factory restore.
[General Questions and Answers] Emba4:
of course you can, either use the easy way of opening supersu going to settings and picking full unroot or by issuing these commands from a terminal with adb:

adb shell su -c "mount -o rw,remount /system"

adb shell su -c "rm /system/bin/su"

adb shell su -c "rm /system/app/Superuser.apk"
[General Questions and Answers] trssho91:
Dude that's awesome, thank you. I had doubts that unroot to work because, well how can a running program completely remove itself. Removing superuser via titanium backup crossed my mind, but then again I just wasn't sure it would fully clear it out. I well def be using your adb recommended commands. Thanks again!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] That Baker Guy:
I just ordered a refurbed tf300t w/ the keyboard dock. I'm looking to root it and install cm pretty quickly. From what i can gather there are some problems with the 4.2 bootloader and cm. Can some one point me in the direction of a guide to unlock the bootloader and which twrp to install. I figure since its refurbed it's probably on 4.2.

everything on the forums i found is for 4.1 or less. also is there a reason this tablet isnt a stable cm10.1 device?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
On this tablet don't get in a hurry for anything. When you verify (absolutely) the bootloader version (ICS(4.0), JB(4.1), JB(4.2 10.6.1.8), or JB(4.2 10.6.1.15.3) then you can begin to read and plan.

Here is a link to many things you will need including the two apps for unlocking the bootloader.

While there don't forget to thank philos64. You will use this thread many times while owning this tablet.

Unlocking is simple. Run the proper app for your bootloader version as explained in the above thread. Two apps for the four bootloaders.

Which twrp etc depends on the bootloader in use.

Good Luck!

Go slow, do your homework, and play safe or this tablet will leave you in the dust (there are many, many bricks to prove it).

I don't know about the current cm10 and stability when it went multi user (10.1) I started looking for other roms.

Just my desire not problems with 10.1.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42005728&postcount=91

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] That Baker Guy:

also are there any roms i should check out in the dev forum? cm is main stream any of the other roms worth checking out?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I'm partial to CROMi.

I'm afraid rom choice is mostly personal. For my use all versions of CROMi have been solid and you have many options during install to customize as you like.

okay so i just got my tf300t today, I'm on JB 4.1.1. what is the best course of action asfar as stock updates? i dont plan on rooting for a couple days to get used to the stock interface.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
My favorite stock rom is 10.4.2.20.

If you intend unlocking and flashing a custom rom you might want to update to the proper bootloader for that rom while you still have stock recovery (not twrp).
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] That Baker Guy:
Okay, I saw some stuff about down grading the bootloaders can I swap back and forth or do I need to be careful?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Bootloaders have been an issue on this tablet since 4.1 (JB) arrived.

I swap at will between the JB bootloaders using stock recovery - next bootloader up or down.

Yes, be careful! Match bootloader, rom and twrp.

Here are the bootloaders, stock roms, and twrp- now you have to match your custom rom.

4.1 bootloader - 10.4.2.9, 10.4.2.13, 10.4.2.17, 10.4.2.18, 10.4.2.20 - twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob

4.2 bootloader - 10.6.1.8 - twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

4.2.1 bootloader - 10.6.1.15.3 - twrp openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

I'm confused just reading this mess.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] That Baker Guy:

hey do you guys have a quadrent score on this cromi rom? im getting about 3600 on the the stock 4.2.1 rom, just wondering if you guys are getting anything better on Cromi? I'm reading up on this pretty good, I'll probably install it some time next week. since this is a refurb i dont want to unlock right away in case of defect.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
First I must say I rate roms by how compatible they are and if everything I use works without issues including lag.

The link I provided for CROMi shows a score of 6214 in the first post (op).

I notice there is at least one other CROMi listed which I have not tried. The CROMi by sbdags also provides other kernel options for more speed and other enhancements.

I'm sure someone else will respond with the fastest kernel for this rom as it is very popular.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] That Baker Guy:
yeah im noticing a bit of lag on 4.2.1 i dont know if its the rom or hardware, I must say I absoloutly love this tablet. Coming from an og nook color and a kindle fire this is leagues better.

The tablet screen shots on the page are from the tf700, if you look at the build number, so that quadrent score is probably not a good representation of our tablet.

Other than that the stock rom is fine but, I'm always looking for better performance.

Has anyone noticed that the dual mic issue is still a problem on the 10.1 stable release for d2spr? I noticed issues such as Bluetooth audio and saving photos and videos to the external SD card have been resolved but this seems to still be an ongoing issue.

I can't take a video without losing most of the audio as the sound is muffled and barely audible. This isn't a problem on Touchwiz as the audio from those videos are incredibly loud. The issue seems to stem from the inability of CM to use both of the external mics while taking a video.

Ima try to be a specific as i can.

My droid x2 was using page plus service. i had rooted using that 2012 root or whatever its called. Its been working fine with the occasional lag here and there.

Saturday was talking and texting fine and dandy then around 7pm i noticed my clock was off and noticed my signal had a red circle with line through it. so i went into panic mode pulled the battery like 10 times and nothing. reset the phone nothing. did factory reset nothing

so i tried to sbf back to stock 2.35 android and using rsd lite it failed.place the file in the root of drive c placed it in my documents renamed it to something else and it has failed everything ive done.

now when i turn on the phone it stays in the red m and it will say something like battery is low nable to flash even when im not trying to flash .

so i boot it doing the cold boot option and it boots back up normal

Once i t get it running i still have no signal whatsoever and now i even noticed under about phone eri version and prl are unknown and i tried to sbf to 2.3.4 and now its on 2.3.4 with no service at all and those errors.

My question is can anybody suggest something i may have missed or a way to get my phone back to normal ? Thanks in advance

Update 1 : used rsd on another computer and everything looks fine except the fact i still have the red circle with lines through the bar any help on that and how to fix it will be apreciated.
