My thanks to buzz on his great work with WM2005, but I have a small problem regarding importing of contacts....as in i can't

I have the contacts list updated using xbackup but as we know the xbackup application doesn't work with wm2005. But i also have a full backup of my 2003SE ROM on my PC which surely must include my contacts information too. Now i have the STGViewer application and can browse all the files in it but I don't know where the file is that contains all the contact information and if it is even possible to transfer this across to WM2005. At the very least is there an application that will let me import this information into Outlook so i can sync or even present the data in a mannor so i can manually re-enter the contacts back into my phone...any ideas anyone?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] rictec:
dont you have it also in outlook? if so just sync the device
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mjames_84:
no

:( no i don't have them in outlook stupidly that was one thing i forgot to backup when i formatted my computer the day before :oops: lol hmm guess im gonna have to get all my numbers back the hard way
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
or you could downgrade to SE and sycn and upgrade again

I know this doesn't sound possible hell I Dont believe it myself but I am in LittleRock Arkansas where Sprint has NO 4g, I'm up here at work bored so I flash the 1000 Verizon prl, I unlock my SIM card (don't think that mattered , I didn't put a SIM card in). I forced roaming on my phone and I about had a heart attack when the 4g showed in my notification bar!! I thought it may be wrong but I ran some speed test with and without it. The catch is I lost voice. How is this possible?

When u get it again go to the 4g settings it should tell u some info
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Highly doubt it... Verizon is operating LTE on 700 mhz (the latest article I saw was that in 2015 they will plan to shift some EVDO to LTE on 1900). The Sprint HTC One only supports LTE on 1900.

Just because Sprint hasn't officially announced LTE in that area doesn't mean they haven't been doing the update. They have a ton of location that have spotty (and even complete) LTE coverage that aren't even officially on the LTE list.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nsmartinez79:
The n.ispsn is something new also.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nsmartinez79:
If this is in fact true, how come I can't get it on Sprint PRL?

4G Verizon Wireless 700 MHz, 1700/2100 MHz (Planned)

It is physically impossible for the Sprint HTC One to use Verizon LTE... The Sprint HTC One doesn't even have a radio chip for 700 mhz, let alone LTE on 800 mhz.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nsmartinez79:
Come on man....yes ive tried it. I only get 3g when on Spring's PRL. It's also strange that I lost voice when forced roaming.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] insuusvenerati:
Congratulations sir you work now has 4G : )))
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nsmartinez79:
Lol! Look I'm not saying it's undoubtedly Verizon's 4g, I'm just saying that normally I Dont get 4G even when forcing roam. I flash the modded Verizon Prl still no 4g. I force roaming and boom 4g and no voice.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nsmartinez79:
I've played with some different PRL's some allow 4g, some don't. But on all the ones that allows it I can't download apps from the app store. Updating my profile loses 4g until the reboot.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] erikivy:
Can you link me to that PRL? I'll give it a shot. Sprint has no 4G here so it will be a good test.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
Force roaming causing 4G detection isn't anything new, actually. If you put the device into LTE mode only, it achieves something similar. The device would much rather stay on Sprint service if at all possible and will take a weak LTE signal if it can (even if it would normally prefer a nearby Sprint tower providing 3G coverage).

The speeds you've posted are in-line with a Sprint 4G test/slow rollout and would frankly be rather laughable on Verizon's 4G network-- if we get around the obvious hurtle that it is not physically possible for your phone to pick up Verizon's LTE, full stop.

Eliminate what's impossible (by hardware) and we have a series of at least possible alternatives.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] erikivy:
Oh, *that* one. I used to use it all the time until it stopped giving me Verizon 3G. Now all I get with it is 1x. I would try it, but I'm running 4.3 now and don't want to nandroid back to a Sense ROM just to confirm that it's not working. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] insuusvenerati:
Sprint 4G on initial release in an area or an a tower is very wonky. It's off and on, slow and only works at a short range. Just be patient and you will get it really soon. They just activated it in a couple areas where I live also. They tend to put them near Sprint Corp stores.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] nsmartinez79:
It's probably Sprint I just can't F@$king believe it. As impossible as my theory sounded, I thought it was more probable than Sprint bringing 4g to Arkansas. Here are some more speeds. I honestly don't know how they compare to Verizon's, I just wanted to show I got some consistent 9-10 range before it went to ****...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Why is it unbelievable that Sprint is bringing 4g to Arkansas... They HAVE TO do the NV update on every single tower that broadcasts Sprint Signal. It is cheap as dirt to just add the LTE hardware into the NV station once the NV upgrade is completed. This is a nation wide requirement since they are about to do some wonky ass things on the 1900 MHz PCS bands (when they start to reallocate their allowed bandwidth to different techs, it is an across the board FCC license).
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hellot1M:
I'm from Arkansas too and have been keeping up with the 4G there because that's where I travel to every chance I get. Jonesboro has sprint lte and it's been planned for little rock and Fayetteville to get it for months. It was only a matter of which day. I'm surprised it took them this long. But it was expected. :) I'm so happy to hear this wonderful news :D

Try running RootMetrics network test app at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootmetrics it should identify the network for you.

Post of the year :) lol
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrrogers1:
Anyone who would care to see data, detailed data on signal and "who's" network you are on should try out this great app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.blueline.signalchecklite . We're getting our LTE rolled out where I live and the app is a great tool for piecing together where your LTE towers are, strength etc... A nice perk is you can also see who's system you are are roaming (or otherwise) using. :)

I forced roam to take this screen shot just now

and here is a LTE screen i took last week on my way to Kansas City (Sprint Head quarters) in a rather rural stretch of road

and for the grand finale, here is some Sprint 800mHz voice while i was in KC :D

Get the pro version of the app!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Tallahassee isn't even close to 800 mhz rollout (they haven't even started implementing the hardware) :( Granted we still don't have LTE officially launched and we were on either the 1st or 2nd round of "announced future markets".

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mikejeep:
The app shows the carrier name for your 1X connection; you are connected to a Verizon 1X site. You are still on Sprint LTE. Currently, there is no LTE roaming between the major carriers.

-Mike
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Here is a rough idea of what would have to be happening for you to roam on Verizon LTE:

1) Verizon violates every FCC law out there and illegally starts broadcasting LTE on 1900 MHz PCS (according to their allowable use of spectrum in the PCS band)

2) Verizon has to physically purchase hardware to broadcast LTE on 1900 MHz PCS spectrum

3) Verizon is specifically operating this network 100% for the benefit of Sprint Customers. Since Sprint is the only carrier legally allowed by the FCC to allocate bandwidth in the 1900 MHz band.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] volk9029:
I understand what you said but why it says lte (Verizon) in top right corner. When I am on sprint's lte it says lte (Sprint)?

The name is based on the 1xRTT connection, not the data connection.

IT,,, IS... 100%.. PHYSICALLY... IMPOSSIBLE... FOR... YOU... TO... BE... ON... VERIZON.... LTE
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] volk9029:
I agree with you 100 % Unless Verizon uses Sprint spectrum to broadcast. Here's screen shot, when I switched to cdma only. Then forced roam. It says ehrpd (Verizon) which is more confusing because I am on sprint's prl 55015. I should not be roaming on 3 g.

Just to add. That it is tranquil rom. It shows 1x properly.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
100% illegal for Verizon to broadcast on Sprint's Spectrum.... The FCC would eat them alive (let alone the fact that Sprint would sue Verizon beyond belief)... They spend billions of dollars on licensing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_2008_wireless_spectrum_auction

For the PCS auctions

http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/weber/papers/pcs_auc.htm

Sprint has absorbed a lot of the other companies, but in 1994 they bought 37.2% of the PCS C block for 2.124 billion
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mikejeep:
Yes, I see that. Despite numerous replies to you explaining most of this already, I am going to give it one last try.. this is not something I am going to go back and forth on beyond this point.

I am the developer who wrote SignalCheck, so I was trying to explain to you how the app works. It displays the current data connection (which is LTE in your case), along with the name of the cellular provider that you currently have a 1X connection with. if there is no 1X connection, the app defaults to the carrier the device is registered with.

Any app that displays your carrier name is showing the 1X provider. No app that I am aware of will show you the name of the cellular provider that you currently have an EV-DO or LTE connection with. Put your device in LTE-only mode and see what provider SignalCheck displays.

You are not connected to Verizon LTE because your HTC One (or whatever device you may be using) physically lacks the capability to do so. Sprint devices do not have the hardware required to connect to Verizon's existing LTE network, which utilizes the 700MHz range. Verizon devices do not have the hardware required to connect to Sprint's existing LTE network, which utilizes the 1900MHz range.

-Mike
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] numus:
Same will be true when they reallocate spectrum... Sprint on 800 MHz SMR (which just like 700 MHZ the HTC One can not see LTE on 800 MHz SMR) and Verzion on the 1700 MHz AWR bands.... Eventually (in 2015 at the earliest) Verizon is going to dismantle part of their 1xEV-DO system to free up spectrum for LTE on 1900 PCS... Currently there is no mention if they will implement 1x-Advanced for legacy support after they make the switch to VoLTE.

It appears their future goal is to convert 100% of their spectrum to LTE and get rid of CDMA2000.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] volk9029:
Thank you for the explanation. I understood it the first time. The question is when I force roam only, in different areas that have Lte or 3g, my phone would go to 1x. That is normal. That is expected. Only in Brooklyn i can connected to lte or 3 g while roaming on sprint's prl.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jerdog:
How daft are you? You did not understand it the first time because you continue to say your phone is doing something magical. You aren't special and neither is your phone.

You cannot roam on LTE..... Let's say it again. You cannot roam on LTE. You got it? You got it?

I don't know of anything that works on Beans, just that certain AOSP roms will let you and that Plasma will let you. You have to be on AOSP to use Plasma though.

You could check out Lightflow and see if it offers you the ability, I know it let's you change what LEDs flash for each app but I'm unsure if it'll allow you to change the brightness levels.

You could also ask in the Beans 20 thread and see if anyone knows.

I think it does. No way to tell unless we were to tear one apart or contact LG, but the BL-53QH is the same battery in a handful of models like the 4X and it has NFC.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] zviki:
NFC is not in battery. There is only extra connector for power backup in battery. NFC chip is on main board and that's why are antenna pins from there to back cover...
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] smoke2tun:
There are products like Samsung where the NFC antena is placed inside the battery. But LG opted to put the NFC antena on the battery cover. I know this because i have an LG P760 (with NFC).

So buying a battery intended for P760 will not enable NFC. The mainboard has to be equiped with an NFC chip, and then you could just buy the battery cover for the antena.

I'm not that foud of NFC, i have only used it once, to see if it works. I would rather have the 8Mpx camera than the NFC.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] patrickoneal:
I'm thinking of returning my Nexus 7, as I intended to use the GPS function extensively for road navigation. It's useless at the moment between the loss of gps lock and the random rebooting. Too bad it doesn't randomly reboot every time the GPS drops out.

I understand there were some issues on the original Nexus 7. I'm wondering what the consensus is on whether Google and Asus are going to fix the software or not. I'm pretty sure I'm going to return it and wait to see if fixes come out. I've had supposed top-tier smart phones over the years with non-functioning hardware that never got fixed, and I'm not looking to get burned again.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTVTom:
As in root is baked directly into settings. I'm not sure what the result would be of removing it. Likewise if I remove it from the rom before installation
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No, thats SuperUser. Root itself is /system/bin/su and can be removed like any other binary in a directory can be (using an explorer with root permissions).

Super User in settings simply acts as a gatekeeper for the root binary (as the apk would if you had that) so it doesn't matter that it remains. Its only there to allow / deny applications root access and remember which you allow or deny. It doesn't actually "give" root.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WTVTom:
Okay that makes sense. So if I remove that folder, root access will no longer function and likewise, no apps will be able to detect a rooted state? And the ROM itself won't consequentially malfunction?

The thing is I tried that before but the apps seemed nonetheless able to detect root previously etc. There's a thread that details this in the sense where it only works for about half of users?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I'm not sure. There's no reason really how it can detect root but all I can suggest is trying it. /system/bin/ is a folder. Do not delete that. delete the su binary inside.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
Could be several reasons. There are sensors on the S4 which don't exist on the mini variant in order to downsize the phone and also allow the phone to last decently long enough with the smaller battery as well.

Also, the S4 mini is not their top-of-the-line phone and so they will not include all the features of such phones in their midrange products.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Yeah you can do that but dont try installing a recovery again. Im betting youre on me7, and currently its only rootable. No recovery.

When you said factory reset I thought you meant restore. But no, you cant reset via odin. You can turn your phone off and then use the key combo to boot into odin. Itll ask to confirm or deny booting and if you deny your phone will boot normally. Everytime you restart yoll have to do this so eventually youll have to restore through odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sulla65:
Did you try booting into recovery? If you get into recovery try rebooting back to system. Hopefully the phone will boot up normally. You could also do a factory reset if you do get into recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
You cant enter recovery because you overwrote the stock one and youre unable to flash/use a custom one because me7 blocked it. There might be a stock recovery posted on the forums but i havent seen one yet. I would try a different usb port, if youre using a pc a few people have had trouble with the front ports. If youre on win 7 try granting admin rights. Try a different pc. Try a different cable are some solutions.

I see -- I meant Kies was not connecting to the phone in my previous post (not odin). If I am unable to get it to respond, is the best way to restore to a stock phone using Odin?
