I had to make an exchange due to bad radios and lost my unlock also. A functional phone comes before unlock.

If your unlock token worked on your new phone it would work for all phones.

Wait.... I'll just call 1800 Verizon, explain I want my unlocked phone back and they will probably just go get it out of the warehouse for me. Should have thought of that sooner.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
doesn't that kind of make it look like fraud? idk since you never said why you exchanged it.

what did you say was originally wrong with your first phone

and I HIGHLY doubt this will happen

I am looking into buying a good GPS receiver with a mount. I already have the tom tom 5 software. Just need the mount and GPS now.

I have been reading reviews a lot and still undecided on what to get.

Do I get a wired one? Do I get a Bluetooth one?

Which ones are best in the market. There are loads and I cant decide.

Someone recommended the TOMTOM mount with a fuzion wired receiver.

Any recommendations? Where can I buy them?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] wamatt:
http://www.buygpsnow.com/item.aspx?itemid=404

I used them - they are great - you get a free mount too!

BT338 is an excellent receiver - I would say best on the market.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] decoy7:
also recommend the Globalsat BT-338, forget a wired solution, that's so last year, i'd advise buying a cheap £45 bluetooth adaptor over the wired solution but if your after quality get the Globalsat BT-338 as advised above, for reviews on BT GPS adaptors check here.

also, i've got this mount which attatches to the windscreen with minimum shake...got it after 2 of them flex arm style ones broke on me.

this is the mount i use for my MDA3, it charges and connects to my GPS receiver to charge that as well although you have to order the correct lead for your adaptor to do this.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] alitech:
Doesnt the BT gps take time to load up on start? I heard it takes at least 5 minutes to get the lights blinking.

Furthermore, any problems with using a BT gps and a BT headset at the same time?

If I get a call on the road while using my GPS, would I be able to receive the call too ?

Anyone experience any problems with this?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] decoy7:
hmm, i've no experience in using a bluetooth headset with a GPS receiver, i would suspect there are issues but have no experience on this...i dont even have a simcard in my MDA3, it's purely used for Satnav.

my guess is that the phone cannot make multiple Blutooth connections simultaneously but will test the theory today at some point and report back if successful.....obviously this would be a good reason to go for a wired GPS solution in which case you should get a bargain as they're bound to be cheap now.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] MaskedMarauder:
My XDA IIi can make simultaneous connections. I regularly use my TomTom MK2 BT Device and my Jabra BT250 headset together, getting the directions straight into the ear-piece.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] decoy7:
coolio, good looking out on that reply MaskedMarauder.

thats solves that one then....i'd get a Bluetooth GPS unit.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] alitech:
Directions straight to the BT headset? Thats ****ing awesome.

How do you do it?

Can you still receive phone calls while on GPS ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Squuiid:
The way I see it you have one of two choices.

These are the latest GPS receivers on the market and have literally just come out in the last 3-4 weeks.

Holux GR-213 (cabled)

Holux GPSlim236 (Bluetooth)

They are both based on the newest SiRF Star III chip.

Personally I went for the cabled version as I hate batteries and having to charge the thing. Plug in a cable and go. Also excludes any bluetooth hassles. It works fine on WM5.0 on my Himalaya (SPV M1000) and TomTom 5. No problems.

Hope this is of help.

Bought mine in UK from http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=1266
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ncruz:
I have the Hollux gpslim 236, and it's cheaper than the globalsat and works fine...

And about the 5min startup, all gps are the same, and it depends on your line of sight.. Normally a cold start take 45sec both the hollux and the globalsat use the same sirf 3 chipset..
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] decoy7:
the Holux GPS Bluetooth looks good as it has the same chipset as the Globalsat but i noticed it comes with an 850mAh battery giving 10 hours operation while the Globalsat battery is 1700mAh providing 17 hours continued use...if they're both the same device technically i would advise paying the extra couple of £'s for the almost double battery performance alone.

also, on the gpsforless site the Holux Bluetooth is advertised at £104.99 and the Globalsat @ £114.99.....however i got mine at pdamods.com where it's now priced at £99.86(a whole £15 cheaper), best thing would be to check reviews done on the devices where possible...everyone has their own experience and different requirements.

all prices quoted include VAT but not postage.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] msuk:
Hi alitech,

Did you purchase one in the end if so which one? Also does your bluetooth headset kit work in conjunction with the GPS so you can make or receive calls while the GPS is connected via bluetooth?

Thanks

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bradgillap:
So my nexus 7 has been working great. I decided to try out the nightly for CM 10.2 and when I found out that the USB port wasn't working yet so I decided to go back to factory.

So I bring it back to factory and I notice that downloading playstore apps is going to take 4-6 hours per app. I reboot, and one app downloads very quickly and then I'm back to 5-6 hours per app. I grab my daughters nexus 7 2013 and hers is working just fine. So that narrows down router/internet connection.

So I go to get a file through the web browser. Same thing. I browse websites very quickly though and other things not directly related to downloading seem to work at expected speeds. Switching the wifi off and then back on gets my download working for about 1-2 minutes before it slows right back down.

I tried turning off various settings for wifi under advanced and switching off the gps. I tried different versions of the razor factory images. The issue seems to persist. I tried changing my DNS servers from opendns to google. I tried installing the latest playstore apk.

I have found a few posts around the Internet with people have similar issues but nobody has been troubleshooting the issue as thoroughly. How could I generate some logs for this issue that might lead me to some answers?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danrulz98:
Hello there!

My phone is an LG Optimus L3 E400r. I bought it as an unlocked phone, and it has a bunch of useless (to me) Rogers apps on it (Canada?).

Well, I've been through all the rooting threads I could find, even on other forums. All seem pretty good, but pretty much all of them only have dead links on them.

I managed to find:

SuperOneClick versions 2.3 and 1.7

Spectrum Windows

I think at least most if not all of the LG flashing utilities

and what I was hoping would be a useable .kdz ROM, which just crashed the LG flashing utility.

It seems any firmware above V10d isn't rootable on this phone. I've got V11e, which I only found one thread referencing, and it was by mistake.

Well, I'm getting fairly frustrated at this point. I don't mind getting into a terminal emulator and doing stuff by hand, if I knew what to do.

SuperOneClick just freezes at step 7

Spectrum gives me error messages, pointing to it not being able to remount the filesystem as writeable.

And, the LG utilities just crash when I try to load an older firmware. (following this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287236 )

I've disabled Kasperksy (it was false flagging SuperOneClick) and such.

So, not sure where else to go. Nice noob video. Yes, I'm a noob, but hopefully I can be a helpful one.

similar problem

hi everyone -

i have screwed up royally. after reading and reading and searching and searching (all day - my eyes are bleeding at this point)...i have decided to take a shot and post and see if there is a solution out there.

please accept my apologies ahead of time if this has been covered somewhere else, but i am at a complete loss and really need some guidance.

my phone is bricked but i have not found an exact scenario to mine.

on boot, my phone displays the same as the image above that [MENTION=2804440]stevediaz[/MENTION] posted.

i can access the download menu (cannot access restore menu) BUT my device is not recognized by any machine or by odin, so i am unable to flash anything on it and i have a steady blue LED light.

is there a work around to this? is there anything i can do to get odin/my pc to recognize my device? if i can't fix it myself i plan to send it to mobiletechvideos before i completely give up and bury my beautiful brick.

i have rooted my devices before and have never bricked a phone. i'm pretty sure i just used the incorrect rom which is a horrible terrible rookie mistake...one which i am terribly embarrassed about. :(

i will never make this mistake again! ever ever ever. i am looking at my beautiful phone just sitting there looking at me with accusing & accurate eyes. sighs.

if posting this here is not kosher, please let me know, but i figured since this thread is the only one i have found with a situation resembling mine, it would be a good place to start.

thanks in advance for any help offered.

You have no choice but to get a j-tag, you screwed up the partitions and that's why it won't recognise your device and the steady blue light is a complete hard brick
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
Does your device display a yellow triangle before the screen above and say GT-i9100? You already have the blue brick of death, so mobiletechvideos is your only hope, because right now your phone has drivers from the international version which disables the usb so the pc will not recognize it. After getting it back from mobiletech, ensure you flash something from this forum ONLY. It must be from the Epic 4G touch SPH-D710 in order to work on your phone.

Alright, so I've decided on what I want to use rom and kernel wise, and want someone to double check that they are compatible, and I have the right versions.

I would appreciate if someone would check that I have the right steps and files.

KERNEL:

From:

http://minooch.com/franciscofranco/Nexus4/4.3/zips/

Have:

franco.Kernel-nightly-r182.zip (this is JWR, right?)

ROM:

From:

http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/mako

Have:

pa_mako-3.99-20130823.zip

From:

http://download.paranoidandroid.co/Developers/TLKruzze/gapps/

Have:

pa_gapps-full-4.3-20130822-signed.zip

STEPS:

This is coming from a fresh out of box nexus, so stock 4.3.

1. Typical unlock bootloader, root, flash recovery, etc. I'll probably just use this toolkit for this.

2. Recovery

3. Wipe

4. Flash rom

5. Flash GApps

6. Wipe cache

7. Wipe dalvik cache

8. Boot to make sure it works

9. Recovery

10. Flash kernel zip

11. Reboot

Are those steps and files all correct, or am I missing something?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quantim0:
That's what I'm running now. No issues.

Personally I'd do it with adb for when something goes wrong you know how to fix it. When I unlocked and flashed recovery on my phone, everything wiped, even the stock rom was gone. Luckily I learned adb with my galaxy nexus and was able to restore the factory images with fastboot (minus recovery) and start over.

Also don't use the newest twrp. It was wiping my baseband and I reverted to the last version through fastboot to get it working.
