Biggest complaints (MAXX)

I love reading through and hearing the top complaints! I love this phone, but it's certainly not perfect. (It's as close to perfect as I've seen though!)

I haven't noticed the purple tint from the camera on the MAXX, does anyone have examples?

As far as the mobile hotspot goes, switch to a shared data plan then it's included for free!

The one thing I would love to change is the three buttons on the bottom. I really wish they rotated like my Galaxy Nexus. Other than that I can't say there is a single thing that I don't love. I use all of the added features. (Connect, Zap, Wireless Display, Touchless Control) They really add great value to the use of this phone.

I'm also amazed at how well "Hello Google Now" works! It impresses the hell out of all of my friends.

On a fun side-note... I've convinced three people to get the MAXX. And one of them works for Apple!!!
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
I love the three buttons. Its like more screen real estate.

My complaint is the vibration mechanism. I'm so used to phones vibrating so loud I never needed ring tones. Now I only use vibrate when in my pocket.

No purple tint issues here. Anyone notice their display bezel has a gap to the side of the phone? I tried gripping it thinking maybe it needed to adhere but alas it is still loose.

I'm really not that wowed by this phone. No major differences from my maxx hd in day to day use. The camera is a little better. Its a little snappier with a game I play. I dunno. If I'm not completely in love with it I'm trading it for a note 3 preorder. If I was rich I'd opt for the watch but it's really in its early stages and will be more affordable later.

I got the bundle with the screen protectors, commuter case, and 6 ft 2.1 amp led on tip home charger (I'm too scared to use it though afraid it's too powerful.. Thoughts?) The lady did a great job applying the protector. She removed all the lint with scotch tape. It went on like my gnex commuter one but has a matte touch. (kinda confused why the commuter didn't have one in the package).
[Droid Ultra General] raichur0xx0rz:
I don't see any build quality issues on my device. That would bother me and I would probably get it replaced, if you decide to keep it instead of swapping it for a Note 3.

2.1 chargers will be fine to charge it, though people have said it may be better to slow-charge your device.

Droid Ultra or Droid Maxx

I have the Droid Max for about a month now. The last Motorola phone I had was the V3m Razor. I love this phone especially the battery. It has served me more than a day no matter how much I use it! Nice features as well. Its from Verizon and I will probably upgrade at 6 months, but not because of the phone. Always looking for better that's all!
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
You should learn how to root. With some more experience on your phone you'll want more options. Adding xposed framework and a module called GravityBox, it will give you a ton more. More quick tiles, it also fixes the ringer and notification volume being separate. Nice stuff.
[Droid Ultra General] rhart729:
I have rooted several phones and downloaded and installed custom roms.:)
[Droid Ultra General] HitTheTwit:
What's the latest on the Maxx? I haven't been able to find much development going on with it, so am a bit hesitant to purchase. Is this phone going to get passed by for ROM development, or am I just too early?
[Droid Ultra General] s_u_n:
Droid Maxx is carrier locked

I got a Droid Maxx (already running 4.4) brand new and never activated with Verizon.

I got this to India and tried two local operators.

The first one allows me access to data, but cannot make calls - I get No mobile network error.

Edit: With the global mode, the second carrier also connects to data, but I get no service as far as making calls is concerned.

With global mode, there is no option to select the network operator.

With the other LTE/GSM/UMTS mode, I can further choose GSM or UMTS. I can see two local carriers, but registration takes forever.

I chatted with Motorola support and they said that the phone is locked to Verizon and I should talk to them to get some unlock code.

If I unlock the bootloader, will there be an alternative to flash some custom ROM to get around this carrier lock?
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
We don't need ROMS anymore with Xposed framework modules like GravityBox.

Literally customizes everything. Even quick setting tile ordering.

You need to order an unlock code ASAP bc they probably won't be around forever...

If you do buy one make sure you coupon. Should be able to get a droid maxx for free after mototradeup and other deals.

It will be a year old in a few months so if you can upgrade and upgrade again this fall or next year I would.
[Droid Ultra General] HitTheTwit:
well, I've had it for a couple months now. Any idea how I can get that unlock code?

Many thanks! I had given up on this at the time, had a kid, job change, etc. I'm thrilled you got me back into it before time ran out. Cheers!
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
I am thrilled too. I was becoming very frustrated but for the wrong reasons. The members in this community are a god send. I'm able to use my phone longer and upgrade less (even though I can anytime with alternate upgrade but don't like to waste money).

I have googled thw subject for game performance and CM10 and cant see yo find a definite answer.

Does cyanogenmod based roms for the Note 2 have performance issues with gaming? Games like Crazy Taxi and Dungeon Hunter 4 peform poorly or not at all. The same games run fine on TW based roms.

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
It depends on the rom but generally the graphics performance is a little lower due to Samsung not releasing graphics/drivers sources

Hi Guys,

I'm aware this is not uncommon but Ive never encountered anything like this before. Im trying give my htc one a fresh wipe and return back to stock, but I cant for the life of me get fastboot to recognize my phone. Therefore I cannot relock the bootloader.

Ive tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling driveres in bigdaddys pack - between pc reboots

Ive tried koushs driveres install and uninstall - between pc reboots

My usb ports are 2.0 and not 3.0

Debugging is enabled.

Im in fastboot (its highighted in red) on bootloader screen.

Im still s-on

EDIT: I also removed HTC SYNC

All of this and still nothing. Im wondering now if Im not running the command correctly, but im pretty sure its "fastboot oem lock"?

My only other thought is that I ran vipers rom for a while but then did full wipe and then ran a cm based rom (Avater). I noticed this messed with the partition on the phone, hence why im trying to return to stock and bring partition back to normal.

Any advice or sugestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Try updating you android-sdk file I have noticed they have had a bunch of updates in the paste couple weeks

I updated mine 2 days ago when I opened it yesterday the was already another update which included some drivers
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] chinbags:
Thanks, I checked and I have quite a few updates, might be on to something because I noticed a few usb driver updates required too. However, as per murphys law, for some reason the "install" button for all the updates is faded out and unclickable. I feel like my mother trying to click the unclickable. I checked the agreements and agreed but it wont let me update? If worse comes to worse, i can try reinstall the whole thing but that seems a little drastic.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
did you open the sdk manager as adminstrator, it won't update if you didn't.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] chinbags:
Thanks, but i ran as admin. Ive noticed each update "depends on missing SDK platform Android, API18", so something seems to be up. Looks like im on the right track though so thanks everyone
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] chinbags:
Still no dice. Im stumped, im thinking its my phone and its messed up partition...I broke the golden rule with phone too. I never did a nandroid backup. Nice!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrlakadaddy:
I had the same problem, I erased my android sdk folder and redownloaded and reinstalled the official pack, it then let me update and when I opened cmd, I cd to the platform-tools folder and I was good to go. Hope that helps
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] chinbags:
Thats what Im thinkin il need to do, il give it a whirl, thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] chinbags:
And still no dice, think i need to put a bounty on this one
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrlakadaddy:
Go into device manager on your pc and erase all HTC drivers, then plug in your phone, it should start reinstalling drivers...from there you should be good.

Hi,

Can somebody assist me where to get an English OS for my T-Mobile MDA? I already asked T-Mobile but unfortunately they only released Deutch Version for MDA. Since MDA is also from HTC, would it be possible that similar product is using the English OS Windows for Pocket PC 2003?

Thanks,

Did you flash a ROM? In you pictures it appears that you can still get to recovery, is that true? What steps did you take for root? We need more information.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaNNeK:
answer

I was trying to flash rom, I was trying to make in international phone so it could work in Europe with out any Verizon build in stuff, just pure Samsung.

I can go do download mode, I was able to go for recovery before. That why there is the 4th picture, in stead of regular recovery a had that "teamwin" screen. Now when I press up menu and power is saying its going to recovery boot but then it resets it self and going back to Samsung unlock icon screen and just stays there...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
You hold volume down + power to get to download mode. Then connect to a pc and download the all in one tool found in the development thread. Ignore the messages about having your phone in USB debugging and tell it to flash twrp 2.6.0.0. If it doesn't take In download mode, try rebooting your phone while it tries to flash twrp.

If that doesn't work flash stock with Odin and re-root and unlock the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lahma69:
I'm having the exact same problems right now. I tried flashing a 4.3 i9505 rom and now I can't get back into recovery and I can't boot into the OS. I can get into download mode and use ODIN, but I don't know what to do from there. I tried using the All-In-One tool to install TWRP, but it just says Device Not Found. I also tried flashing the stock sch-i545 kernel in ODIN, and it completed successfully, rebooted, and its still doing the same thing. Is there some other way that I've missed to return to stock? I'm kinda bummin here.. but thats what comes with the territory I suppose. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Found the factory image thread. Going to follow instructions. Will report back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaNNeK:
it works but not completly

So guys going back to my problem I was trying to do everything like lahma69 was trying too...

in odin was error that device not found, all off that...

but what I did, I look more online and I found this one guy...

and what I did in download mode I use odin, and in PDA selection I use this file stockroms(dot)net/file/GalaxyS4/SCH-i545/VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar.zip

now boom... its kinda works... I am back with my os, I got the android root.

but some things are not right... my phone is very hot, maybe because its charging its self for the first time in weeks.

more important is Whats is happening right now, in boot menu I get errors, no commands, it was not able to do factory reset until I went into os and did it over there... and I cant do software update from Verizon... it goes to root and its trying but then gets error and going back to os...

and I am worry about that file that I download...

so we got little progress and lahma69 I can at least operate os and I have back stock root...

but until we will not going to make it 100% hold on with what I did...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
U cant flash a rom thats not made specifically for the verizon variant (i545). The i9505 is the international version of the phone. Hence your phone not booting. Youre going to have to flash the stock mdk firmware through odin and start over (reroot, etc).

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lahma69:
sannek, I actually got it back up and running doing the same thing you did. I flashed the factory image in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2301259

I haven't noticed any problems yet. I'm fixing to reroot and flash my nandroid. I will let you know if I run into any problems.

I know you can't typically flash a i9505 rom on a verizon gs4, but the author of a i9505 4.3 rom gave me some instructions to try in order to get it working. I'm inserting a 4.3 ramdisk into a 4.2 AOSP ktoonsez verizon gs4 kernel, and replacing the boot.img in the 4.3 i9505 rom. I now know that I had accidentally inserted the wrong version kernel, and thats what caused my problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaNNeK:
lahma69 were u able to do software upgrade on your phone?

and I am happy for you, mine still have same problems like I mentions up there, I still get error and no command in root and I cant get software update... as soon I will be able to figure this out that will mean that my phone is 100% able to go back to Verizon that's one thing but then I will now for future because really want to make this phone a Europe compatible phone...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lahma69:
My phone seems to be at 100%. I never do software updates through Verizon so I would not know if thats working or not. After I flashed the stock image in ODIN and rerooted my device, I immediately flashed TWRP through Goomanager and reflashed my nandroid (Eclipse TW rom.) Everything is running well and my phone isn't warm. Why are you trying to do a software update? I think there is an update now that can't be rooted, so you definitely don't want to do that...

I tried several things to get the i9505 4.3 rom running on my device. You can get an idea of what I did by reading this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2253528&page=779 Scroll down to post #7785 and that is mine. I never did get it to boot... Let me know if you need anything else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaNNeK:
root problem and upgrate

So I did exactly how xda web site was saying about going back to stock and all of that.

It worked, I can run to os and I have original root.

Still have couple of problems,

1.when u in recovery I see error and no command right below android guy. also I see new info in yellow color, below regular blue recovery screen option. (pic1)

2. information in yellow color is follow: (pic 2)

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Appling Multi-CSC...

Applied the csc-code:VZN

successfully applied multi-CSC.

never see in before, don't know what to do..

3. I cant do regular Verizon software update. S4 resets it self and goes to recovery where is trying to do update but ends um saying error and then is going back to os and its saying that update was not that and that there were no changes applied...(pic 3)

I still need your help guys...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lahma69:
Did you see what I said about doing Samsung software updates? The rooting threads for the Verizon GS4 say that the new VRUAME7 OTA update can't be rooted. After flashing the stock image from oden, why don't you reroot your device according to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 and then install Goomanager, click the menu key, click "Install open recovery script" and that will install TWRP recovery. From there, flash a verizon rom of your choice and all should be well, no? I only use TWRP so I can't give you any input on other recoveries. Make sure you didn't somehow get updated to VRUAME7.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SaNNeK:
township japinove

Well I am not that good with all of it... I don't know a lot of meanings of all this like TWRP, Eclipse TW rom, or what you said u did on post #7785

so I am just trying to be able to make it run like new, and then if I do that I will try to work on my s3 and practice on that...

I am beginner in it... plus my English abilities are not that great, so I really don't know which root is the best or how to do it with out messing up entire phone. I love to dig into it, and my s4 was just laying broken for past month and I worked on in today with you guys and its almost working... I almost made claim from insurance for new phone but this one starts working today..

and looks like everything is fine with it

except root errors and no commands ,I cant wipe cash because its crashing and restarting and I cant do that software update, and I have that manual multi csc note in recovery system like I mention just on top with pictures...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lahma69:
Do you currently have root? To check, you can run the "SuperUser" app. If you don't have it, download it from the Play store. After installing it, run it, and a box should pop up asking you for superuser permissions. Click "Grant." If a message pops up that says something like "Superuser has been granted superuser permissions," then you have root. If you don't have root, you need to get it. Follow the instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2290798 . After performing those instructions, and verifying you have root, you need to download an application called "Goomanager" from the play store. After installing and opening it, click your "Menu" key (bottom left hand corner of your phone.) A menu will pop up. Click "Install open recovery script." Click Yes or Ok to all the pop up messages. After that completes, you will have TWRP recovery installed. Your recovery is what you boot your phone to in order to flash new roms, kernels, etc. In order to boot into recovery, turn off your phone completely, click and hold your volume up button, and power on your phone (while still holding volume up.) You should see some tiny blue text pop up in the top left hand corner of your screen that saying "Opening recovery" (or something to that effect.) Once you see that text, you can let go of volume up, and you will boot into TWRP. Let me know if you get this far...

And by the way, for the love of God, do not do any Samsung system updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
And thats the most important part, because if you do you will lose root and your ability to customize your phone. In layman's terms? You will be re-VZ-navigated.
