[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vally2k:
I have the Sprint LG Optimus G and I want to flash it to Boost Mobile because I don't like Sprint itself.

I would like someone to kindly provide me with detailed instructions or source that could aid me in flashing over the carrier. I don't have big bucks to offer someone to help me out, that's why am looking to learn.

Also I am looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy Prevail off Craigslist to do the swap of ESN, but can I still have 4G with LTE? Boost confirmed there's LTE here in NYC, so someone help me please!

A quick post, I've been researching the possibility of using a tablet as a true home media centre.

So I've tried many, but a few have stuck out.

Basically an inexpensive tablet, that has solid state storage, is easy to use, fast n smooth.

This can play videos, games and double up to do it on the big screen, but also play music, not any music, but true 5.1 surround sound, 6 seperate channel, surround sounds.

Basically the tablet would be a true all rounder.

The nabi 2 with hdmi and sd card slot was fantastic and now the nexus 7.2 with slim port, but no sd card.

If any has another choice to cover all bases, please add to this post.

Also check the nabi 2, nexus 4 and nexus 7.2 being demoed to output true 5.1 surround on you tube.

Ill post a link, please do post your links as well

These tablets may revolutionise how we could inter rate within our homes now the power is there!!!!

Is there a difference in picture quality between the stock TW camera app and the stock GE camera app? I know there are different modes and varying features between the two, but I am more interested in the final picture quality result. I enjoy the GE experience, but don't want to sacrifice camera quality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
You could install both and see for yourself. When you choose to add the TW camera it doesn't remove the ge one

How is the Shutter speed on the GE. The stock shutter lag is atrocious.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edpete97:
I too am interested in this. I believe I've read that the AOSP camera quality is quite inferior to TW but between TW and GE can anyone post screenshots?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bswides412:
I have tried and personally don't see much of a difference. I know you dig into these ROMs and apps and would have more knowledge as to the technical side of things.

I do know that the picture aspect ratio is different. TW pics are wider and narrower than the GE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yeah, but the picture quality is not the technical side of things. That's an end user thing. I barely use the camera on my phone. :silly:

If the pics look weird on the GE version I'd go to settings and see what resolution it's set to:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eeiden:
To me there isnt much difference. When i first started running Dubs GE Rom i was adamant about having the TW camera but now i just use the AOSP one by default anyway, i like the UI more and photoshere is too cool.

But here, look for yourself.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vctrgmrs:
In many applications I have had problems with the E400 camera with Cyanogen 9. Some bugs like crashes, no visualization, etc

For exemple, the MX Camera available on Play Store, we can't use any effects.. Every time we need a processed image from camera, everything we see is just a black screen or the app crash...

I also noticed that the image of the stock rom camera is better than Cyanogen, the fps on movie recording is also better.

So, I think it's a good area for developers work on Cyanogenmod. :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] InertiaticFlow:
No. AT&T Visual Voicemail doesn't transcribe the voicemail the way Google Voice does. It just provides a visual list/gui for voicemail navigation.

Also, I had trouble getting it to activate on any ROM that identified my I317 as a N7XXX variant. I'm back on CM 10.2 and it installs fine from the Play store.

You also have to make sure that you have the feature on your account. It should be on any account with 4G/LTE by default but they had to add it back to mine for some reason.

the only reason that its on himalaya right now is that somebody got their hands on a himalaya device wihich had 2005 on it and used that for others

in the himalaya section there r exceptional developers like buzz , toenailed , etc who have made this possible

so untill u get yr hands on a magician with 2005 on it

As for my rom i'm still on stock TouchWiz although i do have Agat's Recovery installed. I'm looking around and trying to compare which ROM to flash, and so far i'm leaning towards ReVolt, or i might try and give the official CM 10.1 nightlies a go

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dziliak:
I tried that one a few months ago and had GPS issues.

So far for me the most reliable custom ROM has been Dastin's WFTN and the official CM10.1 releases, though YMMV.

Even then I wound up flashing back to stock TouchWiz because of data speeds being faster on TouchWiz/GB28 than on any CM10/ICS or Gingerbread modem I tried.

Plus there were graphics corruption issues with GPS Test+ on every custom ROM I tried.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that it has to do with Mali driver issues, but I'm really not certain why.

As far as Virgin Mobile goes, I've been with them for 4 years come January and I'm not going to make it 5.

Locally, Sprint's network is crap and now that I have a real smartphone instead of a glorified music player like the Intercept, the connection problems are too glaring to overlook.

Come next January I'll probably have a used E4GT for sale cheap. :laugh:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j*4*t:
I'm using the EG30 modem with Dirty Unicorns and my data speeds are a little better then when I was on GB28.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dziliak:
The speeds that I get from speedtest on non-JB modems are very close to the GB28 modem, but not quite as fast under ideal conditions.

This part I understand as the EvDO version connected to under 'About Phone>Status. is A:6 on all of the non-JB modems while it says A:7 or A:8 on GB28.

I could live with that, but the other speed issue is that no matter which modem I've tried, I get a pause during testing speeds about a quarter of the way through the DL test that looks like Mount Everest on the DL graph.

I have no idea if it's something unique to my phone, a glitch in CM, or something to do with Sprint's ****ty local network buildout, but it's easily reproducible on several different custom ROM/modem combinations.

But as I said in my first post, Your Mileage May Vary™. :cool:

[Moto X Accessories] iandr0idos:
I just ordered my Moto X today. I didn't see anything about the Skip on the Moto Maker website, and that worries me. I want a Skip. D:
[Moto X Accessories] fitchpuckman:
I could have sworn i read somewhere that AT&T had a "limited" number of them that they'd be shipping with pre-orders. Looks like you may be an AT&T subscriber? Not sure how you're doing the purchase but just figured I'd throw that out there.

EDIT: http://www.slashgear.com/att-moto-x-lands-august-23-with-skip-in-box-initially-16293964/
[Moto X Accessories] iandr0idos:
Yeah I'm an AT&T subscriber. So basically, I should just not worry and just assume that I'm gonna get a Skip?
[Moto X Accessories] fitchpuckman:
Not sure, just thought I'd share. Does seem like they're including with at least the initial pre-orders, though. Maybe a CSR could tell you? The people in upgrades/sales will probably be misery knowledgeable. May be worth waiting to see and then tracking one if needed?
[Moto X Accessories] Psilocin:
I can confirm Skip will be given as a free bonus with all motomaker orders for a "limited time," I just don't know how long (first few days? weeks?).
[Moto X Accessories] fitchpuckman:
Thanks. I imagine it probably just depends on how the phone sells? Google/Moto is probably providing at&t with some stock to get Skip visible in the public and get people interested in using it. Just a thought.

How do you guys see it being useful? I don't mean that in a snide way, just curious. Maybe I don't know enough about it but seems to just replace swiping to open? I have group administrative policies through work so I'd probably not be able to benefit much from it since we are forced to use a pin or password unlock. Kinda kills all the lock screen options out there. Damn government work. Anyway, seems like there could potentially be some cool Dev to expand the Skip functionality in the future? Call waiting/music and volume controls/etc. Not sure if any of that is compatible though.
[Moto X Accessories] Psilocin:
It's kind of hard to understand exactly how useful it is until I actually get it later this week and test it out myself. Not even the press has given a review on it despite getting their motomaker phones yesterday, which I find it somewhat annoying because I'm curious exactly how useful it is. The basic usage is meant to work with a moto app that will allow your screen to disable the security lock pin/pattern if you had it enabled and it requires you to tap the phone to the clip on your clothing/belt or one of the "dots" that you can put in your car, desk, or other safe zone you want. Beyond that, the details are limited. Just have to wait at this point.
[Moto X Accessories] mb3030:
any word on if this can be used with other devices? I'd like this for my work phone that i cant root/tasker. Any info would be greatly appreciated
[Moto X Accessories] Psilocin:
I don't think nfc tags inside it are propriety, so it should work any app that can control nfc. But that's the catch, you still need an app to control the actions and recognize the tags, which may still probably require root to do so depending on what app you use. You could try installing the moto skip app if you can find the apk and then see if it works. No guarantee though.
[Moto X Accessories] ShamanicEnzan:
I ordered my motomaker last night and I'm getting a skip

I have to use a password as well for work, and it looks like if you get the tags and the skip you can just leave the phone on them and just turn on the screen to unlock it and then you can use the voice controls.
[Moto X Accessories] ShamanicEnzan:
My activesync security policy doesn't allow NFC unlock :(
[Moto X Accessories] armathrillo:
Well, it looks like the Moto Skip functionality doesn't work with any run-of-the-mill NFC tags. I installed their app, but I think it only listens for NFCs with a particular data header.

Anyone with a Skip tag willing to post an NFC dump?
[Moto X Accessories] johnny grep:
According to Motorola's own support pages:

Can Moto X support the use of other NFC tags, or only Motorola Skip?

Once you have setup Motorola Skip, consumers can buy alternative aftermarket NFC tags (supported by the NXP chipset) and link it to Moto X for use alongside Motorola Skip.

Not bad.
[Moto X Accessories] armathrillo:
I saw that, but they're leaving something out. I tried a half-dozen different tags that work perfectly with other NFC programs on my Moto X, but none of them trigger Motorola Skip setup. There's no way to manually run the Skip setup, so it must listen for some kind of preprogrammed code on the official Skip NFC tags.

EDIT: Just got off the phone with Motorola (thought I'd give it a shot). The support rep I talked with said Motorola Skip was only compatible with the official Skip clip and stickers. I mentioned the support page online saying it'd work with other tags, and she said that conflicted with her documentation. Boo.
[Moto X Accessories] johnny grep:
Do you have an original Skip tag? I thought you needed to set up a real Moto tag first. Then you can setup 3rd party tags - at least that's how I read it.
[Moto X Accessories] jbnewman:
Made it work, sorta

Received my T-Mobile Moto X today. (Ordered it yesterday, they apparently decided to ship Priority Overnight, Saturday Delivery). It came with an official Motorola Skip. Configured it and the dots without an issue. Then went to Security > Manage NFC Unlock and tried to associate an NFC-based loyalty card I happened to have around. (Five Stars card, fwiw). It recognized the tag and indicated it needed to make additional room on it. I was prompted to "erase the data" on the card. Given that I really didn't want to render the card useless, I passed. But it sure seemed to me as if I had a blank tag of some kind that I could have written to it and started using it.

-jbn
[Moto X Accessories] johnny grep:
Good. This is consistent with what's in the online documentation.

BTW does anyone know if original Skip tags can be purchased at retail stores, or is it only orderable from Motorola?
[Moto X Accessories] Charm8er:
The skip was a horrible idea. I received mine 2 days ago after waiting the full 10 days. Then yesterday I went to the mall wearing it on my cargo pocket for my shorts and lost it somewhere..... Big ass waste of $20.
[Moto X Accessories] Benchow:
Anybody willing to sell me theirs?

I can't get it in canada.

I'll do an NFC dump if I can get my hands on one.

At first I thought it was ridiculous to pay $20 for a simple NFC tag, but I can't get anything to activate the motorola skip software on my moto x.

I can unlock my screen with tasker if I could just get an NFC tag to be read with screen off or locked, but I cant get the motorola to read any of my NFC tags with my screen off or locked.... Anyone know how to do this? I know its possible because the skip is detected when the screen is off
[Moto X Accessories] johnny grep:
Same here - I'd buy a kit, but they won't ship to Canada. That's why I was asking about retail availability - I frequently travel to the US.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Accessories] bso44:
It's a horrible idea because you lost it?
[Moto X Accessories] Charm8er:
I meant the design.... Magnets holding it to clothing. The magnets either need to be much stronger or they need to come up with another way to secure it. Such as a necklace or keychain. Idk. I was very surprised when I got in my vehicle at the mall and looked down to realize the brand new Skip was gone.
[Moto X Accessories] Benchow:
Aww that sucks. I actually just bought an AndyTag NFC keychain for ~$10 and within 2 days I've already lost it.

I'm sure someone out there has their hands on it and probably thinks its just a cute keychain.

Little do they know its got an NFC tag buried in it.
[Moto X Accessories] Psilocin:
I knew it was only a matter of time before someone would use it exactly like they show it on their site and lose it. The best place to keep it on a belt loops or inside the tiny pocket in the right side of your jeans. As you are taking it the phone out of your pocket, makes it easy to just bump along the way.
[Moto X Accessories] johnny grep:
Color Skips can now be ordered on the Motorola website.
[Moto X Accessories] randomned:
And they're out of stock...

Interestingly, I happened to be near an AT&T store the other day, and asked about them, and the guy had no idea what I was talking about.
[Moto X Accessories] mecasull:
does anyone have a file dump of the header information in an original skip? so that, perhaps, we can write it to a blank tag, and scan it... causing the moto x to think it's an original skip?

seems silly to pay $20 for some stickers and a magnetic token, just to enable the application...
[Moto X Accessories] Benchow:
I'll do it. I've bought one from Mrglass86 user on this forum.

He sent it to me last week, so I should get it today or tomorrow ..., then I'll read up on how to dump it and I'll post it somewhere so someone more knowledgeable can do something useful with it.
[Moto X Accessories] mecasull:
its possible these things are secure. who knows. NFC TagWriter application may be able to copy a tag to a file... i'm not entirely sure. amybe someone else can chime in here.

has anyone seen them in stores? whats to stop some one from walking up to a package and scanning one to activate the application.
[Moto X Accessories] krohnjw:
You don't need the official skip to activate moto skip. You can use any NFC tag. It encodes the tag for you during the process. I've had it working fine for days without an official skip tag. Just select NFC Unlock as your lock screen type, go through the process and it will take care of the rest.
[Moto X Accessories] mecasull:
NFC Unlock is not enabled until you scan an official skip. I've tried, and that seems to be the consensus from motorola's product pages. once an official skip is used, NFC Unlock is enabled and you can write unofficial ones...

unless i missed something...
