Thumb Keyboard has been the best of all I have tried. I am on a Note 2 and imo Thumb Keyboard looks/works the best when forced into tablet mode, but it is still the best even in phone mode.

I'm running Dubbsy's Google edition port and trying to get Google wallet to work. I've followed all the steps but cannot for the life of me get it to work. It just force quits on setting up the wallet. I'm using the AOSP hack for it should I be using the TW one? I'm just at a loss and any help would be appreciated.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] luckychef28:
So I just flashed over to Wicked v4 this morning and noticed the LTE icon. At first I thought it was just another fluke, showing LTE instead of 4G or H+. I only had 1 bar vs my normal 4 which is normal if I'm using the fast APN instead of epc in a non LTE area (none of western MA is on LTE). Yet, low and behold, when I switched my network to GSM/WCDMA only the icon changed to 4G. "What the....", I thought to myself, so I changed back to LTE and the icon reappeared. Alright then time to check status in Settings. HOLY SH#$! LTE!

THANK YOU T-MOBILE!

For reference my normal speeds were 11ish down and 2 up.

If you don't care, don't comment. If no one cares the thread will die and that'll be the end of it.

My excitement is warranted and my thread is certainly as worthy as others. With Boston just getting on the official LTE track, having it in a "rural" area of mountains and tobacco fields and dairy farms kinda stands out in my opinion. And apparently the opinion of tmonews.com as well.

Thanks for the link for download.

Actually, I am looking for the simple one like what microsoft have on their website. The orange, green, and yellow themes. Unfortunally they are only in Vertical mode. The blue themes that come with the unit (O2 XDA II mini) is vertical and horizontal mode.

Could you create something like that?

Thanks again.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bnycastro:
it would be better if you sent me the images you want used. then i can try and make some themes.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ianwood:
If you download the microsoft theme generator that will let you design a vertical theme. And if you download the SPB Extended Theme Generator from SPB it will allow you to create the horizontal theme as well. Works nicely and best of all its all free. Just make sure you read the instructions for SPB carefully to figure out how to do it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin.92:
A friend of mine recently got a Samsung Vibrant from someone in his family. The thing is still on Eclair. He wants a custom rom. Now, i know XDA's policy on "What's the best rom" kinda threads, and i would just tell him to try them all till he finds one that satisfies his needs, but he himself doesn't have a clue about the entire process, and i'm all he's got. He's also not gonna be in town for much longer, so i need to flash him a rom quickly before he leaves. The only requirements are:

1) Should be stable

2) Should have fair battery life.

3) should be atleast ICS. This part is absolutely crucial, as his college WIFI uses a proxy, and there's absolutely no way to access this on pre 4.0 devices (Well, it's also available in 3.0, but that's not applicable here).

Can someone recommend a good rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sada23:
CM10.1 Nightly or HellyBean will be my recommendations.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
Don't go with a nightly rom, they sometimes are not stable. Also avoid ICS roms, they have the EUbug (renders internal sd card useless). Go with a jellybean rom (4.2), my favorite is Avatar rom, very stable and tons of themes.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadman:
As much as I love all the available custom roms out there, there is a trade off with memory consumption, gps, Bluetooth, etc. I would have to recommend using a rom made for the phone if you want something stable. I would not use ICS though. I finally made up my mind and will be using a optimized Froyo rom with no bloat, customizations, themes. Just do what a phone was suppose to do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juankyhd2:
If wants stability & speed try trigger(froyo 2.2,all works) if wants some modern try slimbean or infamous AOKP,but have GPS issues(4.2.2) this roms works with 170-210 free ram.Vibrant t959 is a good pet for daily work! Good Luck!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
The OP said it has to at least be a 4.0 ROM...........
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tintin.92:
Yeah guys, i need a minimum of 4.0, there's no way to get proxy working on any of the lower versions.

Also yeah, i don't think i want a nightly, since this is gonna be a one time flash, there's no way he's gonna flash later nightlies or even a later stable. I give him a rom now and that's exactly what he'll be using for the next year.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cannondaleV2000:
Tomorrow I'll be updating infamous aokp. Its stable fast and gives me good battery life. You can flash that!

Battery may be on its last legs....
[Kindle Fire General] jji7skyline:
Some of the older roms had a bug where it would charge without showing the charging status icon. Also check battery health using one of the apps on the store.
[Kindle Fire General] BobbaLouie:
Gederom is ancient, before the battery issues were fixed (not to mention it's ICS iirc).

Update to something more modern. CM 10.1.2 for the otter should suffice.
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
It's pretty sad when something from a year ago is considered ancient.
[Kindle Fire General] jji7skyline:
For the record I downgraded to gederom because it was the best ics rom at least until jb matured a bit more.

Yes there's services out there like that!! Just know where/who your sending your phone into.

And no haven't tried any service like that. I have insurance on my device, I break it THEY send me another 1!:p

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danester:
Hi,

I am trying to backup my Rogers Motorola Razr HD before rooting. However I am experiencing a problem or doing it wrong. I would love a step by step on how to do this to be sure. I followed a youtube video where a guy does it with a Verizon phone but there is a difference .

I held down the Power and Up/Dwn volume keys on a reboot and selected the recovery option when the menu came up ....but unlike the video I watched the rogers phone goes to a screen with a green android character lying down with a red exclamation mark on top of him. What do I do from there to do a backup.

Also, did the motochopper root work well with the rogers Razr HD?

Thnx

Dane
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saloums7:
You need a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM installed. For that you need an unlocked BL, use the exploit or official unlock way since you have a XT925.

BL unlock: follow all the instructions from the Motorola website and you'll be good to go

Recovery: you need fast boot and its best to have adb also. Install/download the Android SDK. Then go to the folder inside the SDK called platform-tools, open a command prompt from there by holding Shift (or control not sure lol) and right clicking then Open Command prompt here. Put the downloaded recovery in that same folder (must be extracted from the zip) then in the cmd type "fast boot flash recovery name_of_recovery_here.img" with your phone connected in AP FASTBOOT. Wait for it to finish then you can boot up the recovery.

If anything isn't clear just say so :)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeje00:
For a nandroid backup you just have to be rooted and download nandroid from the play store. No custom recoveries or unlocked bootloaders necessary.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sofakng:
I'm an iPhone user and have owned every iPhone since the 3G, however I haven't been very happy lately and my iPhone 5 has given me more problems than any other phone I've owned.

So... a few months ago I tried the HTC One Developer Edition and was pretty happy but ultimately returned it because it was ackward to hold and I hated the button layout.

Now I'm thinking about giving the GS4 a try but I have some questions:

1) How dim is the screen in daylight? This isn't a huge concern but I'm used to the iPhone's amazing daylight brightness.

2) Can the SD card be used at all in stock Android? I want to use it primarily for storing movies and podcasts.

3) Anything else I should know about GS4 vs HTC One?

The version I'm intersted in getting is the 32 GB "Black Mist" so I have 32 GB internal storage plus a 64GB microSD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jaythaovadose:
Daytime sux compared to HTC one ala LCD vs led. You can use a 64gig card. 3. Htc one is a better phone IMO but the option to removed battery and SD card make the s4 a much better option for me. Its like a Bentley to a Rolls Royce both very beautifully but its up to you to get the one that fits you. Ur in the s4 forums so u must be leaning this way. Just go and get the phone you won't be disappointed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jt3:
Yes, if daylight viewing is important to you, then you might look at the S4 Active, rather than the normal S4, since it uses an LCD screen similar to the iPhone (although the IPS screen of the iPhone and HTC One is still a bit better than the TFT screen of the S4 Active). The sAMOLED screen of the S4 is very poor in bright sunlight.

The card can be used just fine in both stock Android and the TouchWiz variant of the S4. General storage, music, videos, etc. are all easily ported to and from. Only the storage of apps can be an issue, since many apps will only run from local storage, and some versions of Android (or its variants) do not allow the migration of apps to card storage. That said, Android doesn't have a native file browser, so you might look at getting a file-browsing app (I use Astro File Manager, but there are many.)

Although subject to opinion, the general consensus is that the software of the S4 (Touchwiz) is better, while the hardware of the HTC One is better, with a few exceptions. With ZOES, the camera of the HTC One takes much better pictures in low-light, but the S4 has both removable battery and storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] logicbomb.de:
I've always been an HTC user and was dead set on getting a ONE having come from the One XL and having loved it.

Removable battery and storage haven't really been an issue for me but what ended being the dealbreaker and led me to pick the S4 was the ONE's button placement. Only 2 buttons without having a 3rd that could be remapped to a menu key was almost unforgivable lol.

and I hate that on screen menu button bar taking up valuable screen space.

So I ended up getting the S4 w/ a 64GB card and have not been dissapointed.

I use the screen at max brightness at all time and yeah, it can be harder to readin in sunlight, BUT...

a trick you can use is to enable autobrightness which asctually gets brighter than manual brightness on maximum for when you're outdoors.

I highly recommend this phone, you will love it.

just make sure to get a nice case for it in the event of accidental droppage and you'll be fine.

hope this helps!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Russ77:
the regular s4 screen is pretty good even in daylight. its much better than my s3 or iPhone 4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KGB7:
Go to a local store that sells S4 and try it out for your self.

One thing you haven't mentioned, as to why you want S4 in the first place vs other Android phones.

Screen is not great in sunlight, but if you get antiglare screen protector, it makes it a night and day difference.

I have T-Mobile as a carrier and I only have EDGE for data. I know for sure that my plan and area has 3g, HPSA+ and LTE for I have used it on my Nexus 4.

It's a different story on the Huawei Ascend Mate.

I am on firmware MT1-T00 B110.

I played around with the APNs, but to no avail.

It's currently rooted and I have Google Playstore on the phone, but whatever I try to do, I CAN'T UPDATE THE PHONE via recovery mode! I also tried local updating as well. I'm sure I followed the instructions correctly, but everytime I try to update in recovery, it say's update failed.

Please help, I just want 3g/HSPA+ data.

Next option, I am going to try is change the build number via build prop and see if that does anything for the update in Recovery mode.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] icarusbop:
Hello:

I built myself a car charger a while ago and it all seemed to work fine. A couple of times however my unit has 'died' after a particularly long journey in the car. I have recently discovered that it was actually getting flat enough to turn off and not turn on until charged; even though it was indicating it was charging.

Further experiments have revealed that if the battery in nearly full (eg 84%) and I use my car charger, the percentage of battery full increases over time indicating it is indeed charging.

However; if the battery is quite empty eg 24% - over time the battery charge decreases until the unit turns off, and needs to be attached to the mains to charge it - even thought it still indicates it is charging!

Soehere in the middle of the two battery states ( 84% - 24%), my charger seems uable to charge my XDA for some unknown reason, I suspected it could be due to current drain - a flatter battery may need more current to charge which the charger cannot provide, but the same situation occurrs even if the unit is turned of and therefore taking very little current from the car charger - obviously leaving nearly all the current available to charge the battery.

Any ideas why this should happen? I am completely stumped - I do not wish to buy a charger as my charging system also incorporates a connection to my GPS unit, and no commercially available chargers provide this at a reasonable price.

Any help or suggestions much appreciated.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] recrem:
icarusbop,

Have a look at the charger I made for my XDA II, for use with the in-car kit I also made. The schematics are on my web site - follow the link from my signiature below.

This charger works 100%, and the state of the battery has no effect on charging performance. Mind you, it is capable of supplying > 2 Amps which is sufficient to fully charge the battery while watching movies, and the screen brightness turned all the way up. Charging times are the same as using the plug pack supplied with tyhe XDA II, if not a tad quicker.

The only draw back is the heatsink required for the +5 volt regulator. For the smallish one I have chosen (for the car kit - see pic on my site) it is capable of 2 Amps, but with a larger heatsink (see the first attempt pic of this charger) a full 5 Amps is easily achievable over extended use. It all depends on how much juice your set up requires.

Hope this helps.

I have the same issue but I have an original car kit which was working fine. After I upgraded to 2.06.00WWE i noticed that although when plugged into car kit it says charging, it actually discharges. Although I like this version, I'm in the car quite a bit and need the device to charge, and am thinking about rolling back to the latest rom from the club imate site.

It appears to be a software issue more than a hardware issue....

:?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] davidberrysmith:
update,

I've discovered that if charged to atleast 90% when plugged into car kit then it charges.

at some level below this (don't know where yet) it discharges.

welcome to the twilight zone
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] recrem:
I haven't tested this with my car kit, and haven't noticed any problems when I had SE installed, although my wife said that her device wasn't charging while in the car, and when she got home after a fair drive, her battery was indeed flat!

I rolled back from 2.02 + 2.06 merged SE to my origional ROM of 1.66.00.WWE purely because some problems became more and more evident - like being unable to connect to ActiveSync unless I reset the device numerous times, and spontaneous hard resets. I have all the same software on my device now with the origional ROM and no problems...

We will be moving this week, and it would be a good test for my ROM and charger to see if it charges when below 90%....

All

Just to give my two-pennies worth...

I bought a USB cable when purchasing my O2 XDA II from the O2 shop. When using this cable, if the existing charge is below 85% then the device discharges when connected, however, if it is above 85% then it charges quite happily.

Get this.. if I use my USB CRADLE to charge (in the same USB port etc..) then it charges from below 85% without any problems whatsoever!

Is there a possibility that the USB cable and the USB cradle are wired differently? Are we missing a trick here?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] davidberrysmith:
My charging issue has deteriorated to the point that it dosn't charge at all in the car kit, it does charge in the pc usb hub and on mains. I down graded to 1.72.00WWE last night and tested it in the car kit this morning and it still discharged, so the software appears to have nothing to do with it.

I think the earlier statement by indecided may yeild results:

"The PDA will only charge if at least one of the pins 16,17,or 18 isconnected to ground and at least one of the pins 20,21 or 22 are connected to +5V. Otherwise, though the XDA may say it is charging, it will actually just drain the battery."

I will pull my gear apart this weekend and test it out. Possibly I've got a bad connection.

;)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] O2n:
[Theory] The pins are quite thin, it's hard to think you can push 2+ Amps thru one of them without melting it down (at least the insulation). Maybe this is the problem: if you need a big loading current - like when the battery is below 85% - and you don't have more than one pin pair connected to +/- 5V the phone is not charging, although it may say so.

Solution: connect ALL three of pins 16-18 to GND and ALL three pins 20-22 to +5V.

[/theory]
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] davidberrysmith:
Solved my problem,... :D

pin 22 had come away from the circuit board. So I sweated it down and just for good measure sweated down all other connections as well.

Put the phone back together and threw it in the car kit, charge ingreased from 78%.

time to upgrade the os again.
