[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
You forgot to say "bro..."

Anyway, back to the OPs original question... Yes, you can go Straight Talk, Net10, or about any other carrier you wish, most GSM pre-paid carriers have a "Bring your own device" program and can supply a SIM for the phone, same with AT&T, T-Mobile or other post-paid carriers. The process is simple, if you have basic computer skills and can read and follow instructions, just unlock your Rez, install any GSM capable ROM, insert SIM, turn on Global or GSM network radios and BAMM!!! Your good. This can be done on a stock phone, but it takes a little more effort, and since unlocking and rooting the Rezound is so simple, why go through the hassle?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
Hey guys, i need some help/advise on what to do.

So, today i thought, hey, lets get 4.3, CM just broke on me so why not right. So i tried flashing the google stock image using "flash-all.bat" several times for 4.3, that didn't work and all i got was hella bootloop. Then, i tried sideloading cm 10.2 onto the 4.3 stock rom. Then i gave up after an hour and flashed the stock 4.2.2 image.

So now, i am on stock 4.2.2 again and now its asking me if i want to upgrade the android firmware. If i update it via the OTA updater, will it cause a bootloop again?

-Thanks in advance for the help, i know there are tons of "4.3 bootlooping blah blah blah" threads but most tend to say do a factory reset/wipe cache. Tried that, didn't work. So thanks for bearing with me :D

for xda2's you can only upgrade it when you upgrade the normal rom

and the rom have a newer version of the radiostack

well

i did update from radio 1.10 to 1. 17 to 1.18 and back aggain to 1.17

just put the radio_nb (check for country and operator errors)

in the himalayupgrade dir and it did only a radio update

after hard reset and thats it

it is possible that some bootloader dont let to do that but mine does its 1.01

hope this helped
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyelton:
So I`m on AT&T (More people here to see this) I had to get my 2 month old HTC One replaced it was PERFECT! Perfect screen, No gaps, no issues. Plugged it up one afternoon and it started smoking (Even WITH HTC Cable and charger) Plugged it up 3 different times and it started smoking melted that charger port good! haha.

Anyway AT&T Sent a "Referb" Replacement Its got some scratches and scuffs lightly like it was used! (I like changing phones a lot so it kinda hurts resell) But everything else about the phone seems Great! besides that:( But I called and they sent another replacement which would be replacement #2

I got it seemed to be referbed no scratches in good shape! But the screen had a yellowish Tint! very noticable when holding two HTC One`s Together.

Replacement #3 which I got today was BRAND NEW it had the No Txting And driving Slip that use on NEW phones Phone has a TINY gap not enough to be bothersom but screen has a Warmish tint and looks to have some red tint on the Bottom Right conner that kinda bleeds up a little bit. I called and there sending another one!

So After having the phone on after about an hour it seems no where near as bad as it was when I first turned it on with the red tint issue still a bit warm though is there any curing time with these screens?

My best advice is to download LgMobile support tool, install it, open and connect your phone in the S/W upgrade mode (shut it down, keep pressing vol+ while inserting usb cable), wait a minute to recognise the device, then click Options and you ll find Upgrade Recovery and click it.

This will get you back to your original Rom. Now you wait like 15 min, and you re done, hope it works for you.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
Very sound advice. I recommend this as well.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] h0tw1r3:
I'm in exactly the same situation, but self inflicted. I did however try to use the LG support tool and update recovery. The process completed, but the touchscreen was still messed up.

While I could try and fix it if I had root, I can't root because adb is not working. No matter what I do it never starts.

Does the recovery overwrite the x-loader and u-boot partitions?

ADB was working when I started today, but after I went bonkers on fastboot erase (http://www.saboteaur.com/post/65807202059/p769-fastboot-from-linux) no more adb...

Are any of those partitions that I erased critical / would possible cause the problem?

Worst part it, it's not my phone (grandma's). :eek: Should I just take it back to the store and beg for a replacement?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
x-loader and u-boot don't get overwritten by recovery. Apparently you've managed to either remove the adbd daemon from the device or USB debugging isn't enabled on it. If you can boot the device you can install the L9RecoveryInstaller.apk and install the bootstrapped CWM. Then reboot to CWM, Vol down when keys flash, as CWM has USB debugging enabled. Now use ADB to fix your device.

so my friend at work has the HTC one for tmobile, always had service here.

then today he has NO reception OR service at all, cant even call 611, shows bars with a "X" over the bars as if there isnt a sim in there, but doesnt show the SIM icon on status bar, i put his sim in my nexus 4, worked fine, and my sim in his phone and IT DIDNT WORK

i had him wipe everything and reflash his rom and that didnt fix it.

hes going to reflash everything back to stock

but i was just wondering if anyone had an suggestions ????

so far we reflashed the rom, tried changing FAST.tmobile apn to epc.tmobile to see if that would have any effect but no.

tried changing from cdma/gsm/lte to cdma/gsm only and didnt work as well

You do know, that it's fast.t-mobile.com (with the hyphen) right? If he recently changes apn's and forgot the hyphen that could be an issue.

First I want to apologize if this issue is already treated in the forum, my English is not so good and I don't know how to find it. I will appreciate if someone can help me to fix the problem or to find the right thread.

The phone was working normally, battery was fully charged, then it started to change the bright of the screen and suddenly the battery was low. Some seconds after that the phone turned off and it does not start again. When I try Samsung Galaxy Note logo appears and then it turns off again. If I try recovery mode it doesn't start but I can put it in download mode if the phone is charging. (If not, a no battery message appears). Anyway, I cannot backup and I cannot use the phone. Android version was up to date and the phone was rooted. I would like to backup it if possible but if not I would like to tray a hard reset, but I cannot do this without recovery mode...

So the 16GB has total space 11.94 and the 32GB has 26.11 when you look in storage on both devices. Shouldnt total

space be 16gb and 32gb. Im not talking about available ...I understand the operating system takes up storage...but total space is missleading as far as im concerned..and for anyone on the fence as to which size to get...forget about the 16gb if you plan on doing any kind of gaming.

I downloaded N.O.V.A 3 which by the way looks awesome and plays awesome on this device...but it takes up 2.8 gigs of physical space, large files. So I thought the 16gb would suffice...but after putting on about 14 games..the 16gb has 4.3 gb available ...no movies, no music, nothing else.

you will eat up the 16gb super fast..i know theres the cloud but im not using that....but can someone tell me why these tablets dont report the correct total space? anyone else annoyed about this...I had to go crazy looking for the 32gb as you know staples is playing games...wasnt available in stores and still isnt...you can order it now.

It's normal. Android needs memory. So the "Total Available" is what is left after system files.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] abacus0101:
player your missing what I said....

I mentioned the tablet is reporting total space. The total space should be how much storage the unit has period...I know that

the units use system files ect and this takes up space, and there is an "Available" bucket...not total available.

If you buy a tablet and its a 32gb i'd like it to say 32GB for total space. granted there are system files...approx 4 gb.

the next bucket says available. This is where it should take into account your files as well as the system files it uses...am

I making any sense? and truthfully im sure it will come out in two months from now as they released a 32gb version of the first version.

Im sure we will see a 64gb version which probably is needed since there is no memory expansion...im just wondering why they can't

include a memory card slot so you can increase your storage...oh wait...they are holding back for version 3 july 2014.

A 500GB HDD is not 500GB because they count 1 gigabyte as 1 billion bytes on the packaging where a computer, which counts in powers of 2, counts a gigabyte as 1.2 billion bytes. So when your device gets formatted it looks like you lose storage. Blame jerks in marketing who like bigger numbers to be on their labels.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rysup:
Are the OPs figures correct?

Why does the 16gb only use 4.06 for system when the 32gb uses 5.89???
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] phonic:
Your math is broken.

I don't have a 16GB model, and am too lazy to look at my 32GB one, but let's say the OP's account of 16GB=11.94GB free is correct.

The 32GB model would have approximately 16,000,000,000 more bytes. Let me repeat. 16,000,000,000 bytes. As it's been explained, while available storage and file size "GB" is represented as 1024x1024x1024 =1073741824 bytes = 1GB, drive sizes have always been 1000x1000x1000 = 1 Billion Bytes. This isn't new. If you don't understand this basic concept, do some research.

Ok, moving on. So, if the 32GB model has 16 billion more bytes, how much is that in what we consider to be a gigabyte? That would be 16,000,000,000/1024/1024/1024 = 14.901161194 GB.

FYI - This number doubled (aka 29.802322388 GB) is what 32 billion bytes equals.

So, if the OPs numbers are correct, the system OS, preloaded apps, etc. take up only 2.96GB because 14.9 - 11.94 = 2.96.

If we subtract 2.96 from the 32 billion byte figure, we are left with 26.841161045 GB remaining.

I agree that this number is a little odd, since it appears there is a difference between that and the 26.11 number the OP is reporting. Assuming their numbers are correct, this would be a difference of about 730MB. I doubt the two versions are formatted differently, and other variations shouldn't account for such a large difference. However, the difference isn't as extreme as some people seem to be indicating.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] afremont:
This is the best answer so far. Disk drives are sold in marketing sizes where 1GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes. Flash memory comes in powers of 2 just like RAM, but the space is allocated over several file systems; USER, SYSTEM, CACHE, BOOT, and RECOVERY. This is why it comes up short. Here is the breakdown of a 32GB 2013 N7

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 911.4M 48.0K 911.3M 4096
/mnt/secure 911.4M 0.0K 911.4M 4096
/mnt/asec 911.4M 0.0K 911.4M 4096
/mnt/obb 911.4M 0.0K 911.4M 4096
/system 827.8M 371.1M 456.7M 4096
/cache 551.7M 9.8M 541.9M 4096
/data 26.1G 1.9G 24.2G 4096
/persist 14.5M 4.2M 10.2M 4096
/storage/emulated 911.4M 0.0K 911.4M 4096

See, 32GB more or less.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] pham818:
the OP cries too much.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Dexter_nlb:
your math is wrong here.. you're trying to say the 16GB edition got 1.000.000 bytes of memory and the 32GB got 1024*1024*1024*16 more memory? i doubt you can hexadecimal calculations so easily and get the correct number of bytes free.

the harddrive math is very different from a binary block of memory, due to no overhead and no bad blocks and allocation principles.

a 32GB edition got exactly 16GB more than a 16GB edition, no more, no less.

But partitioning on those devices can differ, which will make the virtual storage partition different in sizes when its shown to the regular user in settings.

It's not advisable to mix the harddrive allocation and GB presentation with chipset manufactures that sell you memory blocks. 4GB of memory is actually 4GB, but the OS will limit the number of available memory to you, so Android will not show you the full sized tablet memory as its allocation to OS and data and other partitions depending on vendor/OEM.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] phonic:
You're reading comprehension is wrong here.

At no point did I ever say that the 32GB version had 16*1024^3 more memory. Quite to the contrary, I said very clearly that:

"The 32GB model would have approximately 16,000,000,000 more bytes. Let me repeat. 16,000,000,000 bytes...the 32GB model has 16 billion more bytes"

I'm not sure how you could possibly not understand that.

Why don't you go back and re-read what I wrote a couple more times and then apologize.

While memory manufacturers do use 1024 as a base, solid state drive manufacturers have gone the way of the hard drive and played the 1000 game. Which is why I said that if you take a X GB model, you need to divide by 1024^3 to get the amount of actual "GB" that we would normally use to describe size in 1024 byte terms.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] afremont:
I'll agree that you don't get a full 32GB (or whatever) of formatted capacity, but the flash actually started off as a true 32GB capacity. It's not manufactured any other way, always in powers of 2. After you set aside a few % for wear leveling and things like the partition table and boot record, it comes up a little short.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Dexter_nlb:
yet, you mention the facts, and you use the approx. 000.000 bytes logic, i doubt an apology is in place, when you cannot see your problem.

but thank you for confirming you do understand your interpretation with 16.000.000.000 is misplaced , although you nicely hide it behind the approx.

:angel:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] phonic:
Are you retarded? I'm not trying to be rude here, I think you legitimately suffer from some type of learning disability.

Yes, I am saying that storage manufacturers will market 16,000,000,000 bytes as "16GB", whereas it will only appear to be ~14.9GB to the operating system. I said approximately because odds are it won't be "exactly" sixteen billion bytes, but it will be extremely close. Because manufacturers consider a gigabyte to be a 1000*1000*1000 bytes, as opposed to 1024*1024*1024. This has been the case forever. Do you seriously not understand this?

I made this point very clear, repeating it numerous times for people who don't seem able to comprehend such basic math (present company included). Then you come along and try to put words in my mouth that blatantly contradict everything that I said and you quoted.

So yes, you have some serious math and reading comprehension skill problems.

Total space would most likely be non-inclusive of space required for system files, to stop people running around in circles trying to find where the heck the file is that is taking up 4gb of their space while trying to upload some new videos etc.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Dexter_nlb:
conclusion is, you mean AndroidOS shows the user number of bytes in 000.000.000 logic, not using regular hexadecial calculations when you show free space on your Android device? or do you persist to reference harddrives, when OP was questioning a 16GB Nexus7 versus a 32GB device? where no 000.000 calculation every comes close to your approx. example, even if you believe they show it like a harddrive, which is not the case for androidOS.
