[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smb282:
here's a random, somewhat related question from left field

I have the 64 gb dev edition, non-carrier branded and using TMO network. Already updated to 2.24 with AndroidRevo12 and didn't have S-Off first, so I gather there's no going there for now w/o going back to pre-2.24. But the whole reason I started down that road was cuz I thought I needed S-Off to flash radio by itself. I just want the new radio for the LTE bump since I seem to have such good LTE coverage at home and work.

If I don't need S-off to flash radio as "that can be done independently," then can you offer any possible reasons why I'm getting a signature verify fail when trying to push first revone (via adb), then later (once I gave up on S-off) while trying to flash the new radio.img fia fastboot?

(radio img is the new TMOUS 4A.17.3250.20_10.440.1150.04L)

Fastboot and adb seem to be fine otherwise, and phone settings are all proper (debug/etc). Bootloader obviously unlocked, etc...HBOOT is 1.44.

title say all....on my OGP (e980) I"ve bought a magicsim adapter for testing...and it doesn't work....seem to be incompatible since it doesn't detect any sims..... does some of you have tested a dual sim card adapter??:confused:

thanks.....
[LG Optimus G Pro] Kermit33:
Would like to have one if it works but wonder how the adapter with two sim cards can fit in the G Pro sim card slot!

Mind to post a picture of the adapter here?
[LG Optimus G Pro] AC07:
I am using one from China, cost around RMB50(~USD9.0), look like the magicsim for S3, but the chip look thicker than Magicsim.

I tried the magicsim for F240s, but it doesn't work.
[LG Optimus G Pro] zxaz:
The one from china is working?? If yes, on what version??

240....980?? Would like to know.....
[LG Optimus G Pro] AC07:
the one from China on F240s and N7105 working well, 4G works too.. and the magicsim doesn't work on F240s and N7105...
[LG Optimus G Pro] zxaz:
well just received my china version too...and the chip effectively look ticker!! but it still doesn't work??:(:( anyone have or tried these adapter on e-980???? maybe the solution is in the firmware somewhere???

thanks......
[LG Optimus G Pro] AC07:
Do u have stk.apk in /system/app?? dunno about e980...
[LG Optimus G Pro] zxaz:
Yes i have...
[LG Optimus G Pro] AC07:
maybe you can try to use the attached stk.apk, delete .zip...

remember to backup the original stk
[LG Optimus G Pro] zxaz:
Thanks......but it didn't worked....:crying::crying:

There must be a functional adapter somewhere...cant beleave...

Still hoping.....
[LG Optimus G Pro] AC07:
sorry about that.. it would be the baseband problem.. as I tried in Samsung E250K (Korean version of Note2), doesn't work, but work on N7105... and my friend tried on Vega 860S, doesn't work too...
[LG Optimus G Pro] zxaz:
yeah....gonna try to find one compatible!!! will not get easy I guess...
[LG Optimus G Pro] zxaz:
Ok...finally have emailed to "simore" and they suposed to check if their dual sim are working on the 980....im anxious to know, though they are more expensive...
[LG Optimus G Pro] zxaz:
well have news from simore, and they tell me that for now, the only compatible device for g pro is the blue box......

its a separate device who connect with Bluetooth.......there"s a model that you can put un your wallet, but you need to recharge!! i would personnaly liked to have just the dual sim...less problem and dont need to think to recharge the batterie at the end of the day!!!! and less expensive too!!!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Hilton1946:

I tried it on my LG G Pro but no luck , it would not recopgnize either SIM

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Bob Smith42:
For Nexus 7 (2013) owners:

Lets discuss <any> working methods for using Display Settings, Wireless Display, on Android 4.3+ with Nexus 7 (2013).

1) I want to explore what happens when Wireless display is turned on - and what it takes for wireless displays to be found.

Fine if you use Google Chromecast, or any other devices as wireless displays.

2) What types of data can be pushed/streamed by "wireless display" - e.g. video, audio, VNC, RDA, files, etc?

You get the idea. :D

Check this post below. The Netgear PTV3000 works on new Nexus 7 (2013) out of the box.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NyPlaya513:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Bob Smith42:
Good info. Thanks

I *assume* the feature does *something* in Android 4.3+, and maybe *something* specifically on the Nexus 7 (2013).

Of course this assumption might be wrong, e.g. I'm not sure what Wi-Fi, three dots menu, Wi-Fi Direct accomplishes either. LOL

So please inform us if anyone has knowledge of what happens with Wireless Display turned on, or how to make it work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gksmithlcw:
I'm assuming it's for Miracast. I don't have any Miracast receivers though.

I was hoping it would work with my Apple TV but when I switch on wireless display, it finds nothing.

You are likely correct. I just found this article with some info:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Bob Smith42:
Working Device (Netgear Push2TV PTV3000)

Found a working device. The Netgear Push2TV PTV3000.

Plug the PTV3000 into a mini-USB 5v for power. Connect the HDMI to a TV or monitor. The device displays waiting status.

In new Nexus 7 (2013) go to Settings, Display, Wireless Display. Turn on. Press SEARCH FOR DISPLAYS.

The Push2TV <serial #>-PTV3000 appears in the list of Available Devices. A few seconds after selecting the device the projector shows the entire Nexus 7 (2013) display on the TV or monitor screen.

Note: I took the PTV3000 out of the box and did not apply any firmware updates (yet).

I have lots more questions and things to test. My initial questions are:

1) How does it work with portrait and landscape orientation?

2) Does sound get broadcast to the TV or monitor?

3) Since it works on new Nexus 7 (2013) will it also work on 1st generation Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.1 through 4.3)?

4) How do movies look on the TV?

5) Verify this really Miracast, or is there a second mode on PTV3000?

6) What is the firmware level on PTV3000?

I don't have time to do further tests now. But, ask if you have further questions I can test.

Thanks for the suggestions and help so far... especially gksmithlcw
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Pancake345:
I tested with this over the weekend and it worked like a dream.

http://www.netgear.com/home/products/hometheater/media-players/PTV3000.aspx
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] volumnus:
I beg to differ on the PTV 3000

I find it to be useless. It projects an image in the middle of the screen. You could never really watch a movie or anything due to the black bars on the sides. It also does not pass through DTS or Dolby Digital Surround Sound. You are far better off using a media server app like BubbleUPNP to stream media. This is just a little toy. It is light years from being serviceable.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] KindsKoPP:
hi dudes,

i tried widi with new n7 with mk808b android tv stick. it hassame problem like the n4.

Nexus4 streaming issues:

Phone stops sending data abruptly while streaming high definition video. Air sniffer captures show phone stops sending video packets and goes back to scanning. As result dongle waits for at least 10 seconds for the phone to respond and goes back to ready screen if the phone does not respond.

but with bubbleupnp n7 works well to stream movie, pics or music. so with kitkat widi dosent work. maybe with another kernel and rom??
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ImjuzCY:
It scans for Miracast supported device whenit's turn on. If you have a Miracast device connected to the same network, it will show up and you can display your whole screen on the reciever.

Miracast is not Apple's AirPlay and they are totally different. Although they do similar things.

It's also not DLNA. Most of the time files are being sent through DLNA, so you cant see your contacts, messages, homescreen etc. through DLNA. Miracast send your screen feed to the TV.

Miracast need a Miracast sender and reciever to work just like DLNA needs a DLNA server and reciever and AirPlay needs a server and reciever too.

My Nexus 7 (2013) has Wireless Display (I think its Miracast) since 4.3. I think it will work if you have a reciever. I tried it before with Note 2 to my friend's TV which have Miracast support.(I never try it with N7 before because I dont have a reciever). AOSP have support for Miracast as sender since 4.3 (I think)

You need a very fast network to stream smoothly.

The display will change orientation when you rotate your device.

BubbleUPNP is a using DLNA not Miracast.

Miracast still can't work properly in real life.

ALL OF THIS IS ONLY MY THOUGHTS. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nikfam:
I am also trying to figure out how the miracast feature works or supposed to work with our Nexus 7 2013 model- 5.02 lollipop.

1)My miracast enabled tv (lg model) detects the device.

2)Under cast screen tab in notification panel, tv is not detected but if you enter the more settings options then lg tv is then detected.

3)trying to connect (either from tv menu or nexus menu) results in notification that there is an invitation for connection, then authentication and when the tv shows "miracast is waiting for connection" my nexus stop detecting the lg tv for a few seconds then shows up again but no connection is established. If i insist a couple of times to connect then nexus wifi despite being connected to my home network it cannot connect to the internet.

If someone has an update from miracast feature please post.

cheers

So it has confirmed the Note 2 is skipping the 4.2.2 update and skipping to the 4.3 update (Source). But the update is rumoured to be releasing around Q3/Q4... The Note 3 on the other hand will be announced this September, and may be released around November just like the Note 2... The Note 3 is said to come with 4.3

I think I will be getting the Note 3, with the new hardware specs and all, but I may stick with my note 2... what do you think?

My thoughts exactly! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmegaNemesis28:
ATT let me upgrade every iPhone on a yearly basis. Until the iPhone 5 came around and I wanted to jump ship to the Note 2. They just suddenly changed.

I spent 6 hours on the phone, multiple days, trying to get them to give me the note Note 2. Some of the people were just outright nasty too. Claiming I never did such a thing with the iPhones.

So when the Note 3 comes out I'm filing with the BBB, getting out of my contract, jumping over to Tmobile.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eZdubzitmk4:
Contact the bbb because they wont upgrade u? Haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Eternalty:
You serious dude? Because u won't get an early upgrade like you used to? Go for it man, your complaint won't do anything.. Unless you lie about it. You agreed to the contract so ride it out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmegaNemesis28:
For terrible service. I live in rural NY, but a popular one at that. I follow ATT's stupid cell tower news, and they can add towers in my area until the cows come home - but its always spotty.

My coworker just switched from ATT to Verizon doing the same exact thing after I recommended it to him. He filed a complaint, ATT called him the next day, the following day he sent his phone back and went to Verizon for his new contract, and the next day he was sitting next to me with a brand new S4.

Three days flat.

The only reason I recommended the idea was because a friend had done it to switch from Sprint to Tmobile after his screen broke.

Even if I need to lie about it to really drive home the point of the terrible service they've given me and my family for over 6 years on separate accounts, I could care less. According to ATT, I already am a liar anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] softballjunkee13:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmegaNemesis28:
Well I personally was nowhere near as phone dependent as I was 3 years ago that's for sure. With new work and having to need constant phone service and email access to be on the ball, it wasn't as bad.

And now TMobile is offering all these great plans at such low prices. And even an insurance plan that lets you upgrade not once, but TWICE every year. I could never see myself upgrading twice, but I'm a hardware sleuth so I like the yearly and am willing to pay if thats what it takes.

After doing the math out, for me and several family members to switch, it would be almost $20 a month cheaper on Tmobile even with that insurance plan for me.

So lower cost, plus better service in my area, plus the upgrade insurance plan looks pretty damn sweet. I'd say anything to get out of the ATT contract to be honest. And again, they already called me a liar anywho. -.-
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] crixley:
Good luck with that one lol...

The BBB will laugh you off the phone no doubt
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmegaNemesis28:
Haha alright. We'll see. Its not like I just told you it worked for two other people and there are basically articles about it too. With comments

http://blog.rocketlawyer.com/how-to-get-out-of-a-cell-phone-contract-termination-fee-98815

More than 90% of the complaints get solved. Especially when it costs $500+ for a cell phone provider to dispute a BBB claim.

I mean, you did after all tell me they will laugh me off the phone when you in fact submit claims online :P But hey, what do I care if you believe me or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] softballjunkee13:
Dude $500 is pocket change to them. That's my bill for like 2 months with a couple smart phones on it. Believe me. ....they're not going to back down over 5 bills

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmegaNemesis28:
Yes, they're going to spend $500 to dispute a customer who is going to leave them anyway when they could just let said customer go, get his phone back, refurb the phone, and sell out another contract without losing a dime or time. In fact, they make double with the refurb phone technically. Resolving the dispute all together too.

EDIT:

I mean if you honestly think this is the first time people have done this successfully, and you're going to argue it like it is, then you need to reevaluate some of your logic :P

It also enables the fstrim feature by default so there should be no more slow downs.
[Nexus 7 General] bluecarbon:

[Nexus 7 General] thomase00:
I'm confused. I thought support for trim commands has been in since 4.2 or even earlier. I'm positive that the file systems were mounted with the -discard option before this most recent update. My understanding is that this causes trim commands to be sent to the flash whenever files are deleted. The tradeoff is that this involves a near constant but consistent performance hit, but keeps write amplification from getting out of hand. Is my understanding wrong? If so, how? If not, what has actually changed in 4.3?

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

I checked the mount options for /data and /cache and I no longer see -discard. Did 4.3 remove the -discard option from mount in favor of running trim opportunistically when the device is idle?
