[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
Apparently Google announced the next version of android will not be key lime pie 5.0, instead Google plans to launch KitKat 4.4 and they seem to partner up with Nestle and will be coming out with a special edition kitkat with a chance to win a nexus probley with 4.4 I assume. Here's the kicker like the movie willy wonka they will be placing golden tickets in a few selected bars. What changes will 4.4 have or when will it be releases is still up in the air yet but I'm sure Google will announce there big changes by the holidays.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] InventiousTech:
Hi,

I am looking to replace my galaxy player which just died, and I am thinking about using a standard phone without a service plan, as a wifi only device. Anyway, I'm leaning toward the Optimus 4X HD, since it can be had for just a couple hundred bucks, and it's pretty well spec'd. The problem is, I don't know if it requires activation to use, since some devices do and some don't. And if it is required, is there a way to bypass it like on Motorola devices? Just for reference, this one on eBay is the one I'm looking at (or one like it). Any help would be most appreciated.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Flying_Bear:
Carrier:	Unlocked

i dont understand what you mean by activation bypass, but this item on ebay is not locked to any carrier.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] DidierDrigbi:
Actually, you can run this phone without any activation (for ex. you don't need to connect your google account to use the phone).

Some activation step (as with every android), appear on the first boot, but you just skip it just by not connecting to any network (unticking the boxes with mobile data and wi-fi).

As you write, you will use the phone to surf the net, of course you can activate the internet option after skipping activation.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] InventiousTech:
Thanks for the help, sorry if I was confusing. I was referring to carrier activation, since on some phones it seems to be mandatory before the phone can be used. Anyway, the fact that it's unlocked I think renders that irrelevant.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shr00my:
Hey guys

My Galaxy Tab 10.1 is giving me a hard time since a few weeks.

I run the CM 10.1 nightlies on the device and have the following issue:

The touchscreen does not react to my finger properly. Sometimes it works, but then doesn't react anymore. I then press the power button, to send it into sleep mode, then press it again to wake up. the device reacts then like 99% of the time to unlock it. but after that its just a pain in the a**. As far as I can remember, I did not change the ROM when this happened, but since then I tried dozens of different nightly versions, even ones that I know they worked before.

The strange thing is, that it seems to be dependent on the position sensor, because when the tablet is on a flat surface, and is not moved, it works the best. Not 100% but like 80% of the time. But when I hold it in an upright position, or just in my hands, not flat on a table or something, it reacts to like 5% of my tries...

I have been searching on xda and on google about that problem, the most matching one was a driver issue that occurs after like a minute or when a graphic intense app has loaded. They provided a kernel fix, which just made my tab boot into infinity and never reaches the lock screen. after factory reset it boots again, but the problem still exists.

hope somebody can help, because I love my Tab and I can just not accept the fact that it could be a HW issue, since it works 99% of the time on the logon screen, and due to the fact of the position sensor being involved...

thanks in advance! please make me happy again!

[MENTION=829683]shr00my[/MENTION]

Let me ask you this..Does this problem occur in all apps or just you're browser...?

Also..when you flash a new rom..I assume you wipe data/cache/dalvik cache...but do you go in and format system( only system )...you might have something left over from a bad flash that is causing problems..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shr00my:
Hi Gil81

Thanks for your answer! Yes that happens everywhere, in the android menu, homescreen, inside games, video player etc...

Yes i always wipe the caches and data. But I also tried various combinations with different nightlies and wipe scenarios.

Could you tell me a good different rim that is on android 4.2 and not CM based so I could try to flash that and see what happens.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shr00my:
Looks like the problem is deeper than i thought...

I installed the latest cm10.2 build from the forum here, full wipe cache/dalvik/everything except SD mount, before and after installation.

when coming back to the recovery to install the gapps that I forgot to download, I realized, that i also had issues with the touchscreen in the recovery menu...

I also installed the Kernel (kernel_p4wifi-cm-10.2-20130903-0100-exp.zip) that was provided on the goo.im directory http://goo.im/devs/loosethisskin/p4wifi/cm-10.2

I also experienced some ghost touch issues with the "back" button... Not sure yet if it was because of a specific touching of the frame or an angle of the tabled when lying on my back, holding the tablet in face down. (since I experienced strange behaviour depending on the position sensor)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ricksta:
I have a Galaxy S4, and I'm envious of precisely two Moto X features.

Voice Actions

Active Notifications

For one, I searched and pulled up Tasker and OpenMic+. I couldn't figure out how to make it work. Tasker was too hard to figure out.

For two, active notifications HATES the Touchwiz lockscreen. How can I make those two things work better? They're constantly fighting for control. I'd appreciate some discussion! The previous post didn't answer my specific question.

Thanks!

I've got active notifications on my phone with touch wiz. I'm assuming it does what the moto x does because it works on mine with a screen lock password on it. The only other option I would say besides going to root and have a custom ROM is try out a different launcher like go launcher nova launcher etc and try that out?

I mean, when the sound is off or vibration, and you want to go back to the today-screen and press the red button (end a call, don't know the english word :roll: ) there is this terrible "PING".

Is there anything i can do to turn this disturbing sound off??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koostis:
Hi guys,

so my friend gave me her i9100 (international) saying it was broken and did not turn on. It didn't turn on indeed. After holding the power button for a short time (about 3 secs) it does not react at all. If I keep the button pressed for like 8 secs, it shows the white Samsung logo and stays that way. If i try to enter recovery, the android with the stuff spinning in it's belly appears, but it does not go any futher than that. I have not tried entering the download mode though, as it's my last resort. Have any of you encountered this problem? Or is reflashing with odin my only option? I've tried switching batteries, taking it out and etc. already.

Thanks.

P.S. The device has never been rooted nor it had a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaratabHashmi:
Use android flasher and flash recovery through this software very easy method first your device must rooted and in bootloder....

Fastboot option I think...home+volume down then press power button....

You send pm this is not my fourm
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koostis:
Yeah, the device is not rooted and has never been that way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaratabHashmi:
1.enter in bootloader

2.reset factory default setting
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koostis:
By bootloader I believe you mean recovery, and that, as I mentioned before, I can't do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaratabHashmi:
Not recovery

Hold home+volumedown and then press power button togather.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koostis:
Oh, as I've never done this on a S2, on a Galaxy S this combination would enter the download mode. I'll try this and see if it works.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noim:
Yes its also sometimes called fast boot mode ...go into download mode then flash a original stock firmware via Odin ....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If the phone's never been messed with & you're messing with it now as opposed to sending it in for warranty service, that makes you (you clearly have no experience whatsoever with this device) and her (for not sending it in for warranty service in the first place) fools. If you stuff it up, she's going to still have a non-working phone & she'll be paying almost as much as the phone's worth 2nd hand to have it fixed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koostis:
The warranty's over already and she's got a new phone, so if it works, she'll have two of them. If it doesn't, well... that will change nothing :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koostis:
So I tried THE combination and all it did was entering to dowload mode as I thought it would do, not bootloader whatsoever
[Motorola Droid 3] guigonyts:
Hello everyone, this is my first participation in this forum, and I hope I can make something useful to the community.

I've always used the knowledge from here and now it is time to give something back.

I've changed a rom to make it bootable from safestrap, but I can't post it on the developer section due to my beginner status here and I am also waiting a response from the modder of this rom to let me publish it.

This rom is very stable, and it is based on a Latin American 2.3.6 Android with some tweaks to work on the brazilian network. Until now I noticed a huge improvement on the battery life compared to the stock rom.

So, what I wanted to know is if anyone will be interested in this rom if I have the permission to post it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Markfard:
Hey bro! I'm brazillian too, and your project caught my atention! Your rom is based on wich other rom?

Sorry for my post in br, I'm not used to post in english hahaha

I can test it if you want.

Best regards.

but i world try it if it saves battery life
[Motorola Droid 3] guigonyts:
Nice to meet you!

Please post in english for other people in this forum understand ( I think it is one of the forum rules too).

This rom is the exact same rom modded by Junior Passos, I just put the files in place to work on safestrap.

I will post it soon.
[Motorola Droid 3] guigonyts:
That'll be great.

I think this is one of the best roms I used for our brazilian model since i used Mavrom 4.5, which I dont know why it is not stable for me anymore...

I believe our phone is not for people that use a lots of apps... =/
[Motorola Droid 3] guigonyts:
The battery life improved a lot!

I just wanted to know if it is my choice of daily apps that make my phone painfully slow sometimes or if it this phone 'feature'.

I will post the rom asap, thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
As soon as you provide the files, I can start testing.

Good to know that someone is trying to give some afterlife to our phones.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] noleng:
a bit of both. so many factors involved in getting an answer to that question.

simply, you can uninstall all your extra apps, and see how quick it is.. and as you start to use an app, if the system is boggy or slows down you would know which app is the cause.. but many times it could also be if you have all your data and sync settings and location settings all running.. though this usually is more of a battery drainer than a system bottleneck..

a new app that seems to help out a bit with keeping your programs and other apps from slowing down your system while they are not needing to be running is

greenify.. has worked well for me on many of my devices..

---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

sorry for posting again.. also.. did you mean anything specific by phone "feature' or did you mean the phones features in general..
[Motorola Droid 3] guigonyts:
I just tried to make a joke, making my lagginess a feature of the phone...

So, I tried to contact the developer of the rom and I didn't get the answer...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I don't have the privigele to share my mod because of the forum rules...

Just for the sake of making this topic useful, I found a rom that suits my needs: the second post have a link to it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
Steel Droid is one of the best ones.

I used it for quite a while, and the only con for it is that the video recording doesn't work.
[Motorola Droid 3] guigonyts:
Don't know why it never worked on my device...

Maybe its because its a brazilian version.

I recommended that CM9 because its the first 4.0 android that works for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
In my device worked fine. Well, Steel Droid is a good point to start.

I'm not a developer, but I can test it, if you want.
[Motorola Droid 3] guigonyts:
So, I got an answer of the developer and I haven't got his approval to share the mod.

He doesn't like to have his work messed by others, nevertheless I wouldn't post it if I couldn't get his approval...

Anyway, I can make a flashable zip to make the changes afterwards when I have some free time
[Motorola Droid 3] Munckster:
You mean ChevyCam?

Well, sorry to hear that. Maybe himself could help if he wants, but anyway. I think there's still some hope.
[Motorola Droid 3] guigonyts:
No, the rom I changed is from a brazilian developer named Junior Passos.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeerSteak:
I'm new to Verizon, and I got my phone from Amazon. So I've got 30 days to decide if I want to keep it. I got a Galaxy S4 but honestly I should have known better. The battery life is just not getting me through my day. I thought about getting an extended battery for it instead, but the phone with an extended battery plus even a thin TPU case seems to be around 5/8" thick. By contrast, the Maxx with its big battery (which is smaller than the extended S4 battery, sure, but still 3500mAh should get me through the day) is barely any thicker than what I currently have so it's easily pocketable.

The concern I have is the display - I really like the 1080p display on the S4 but I know that the pixel density is way overkill. Has anybody else gone backwards in resolution? How does the display on the Maxx/Ultra look if you're used to 1080p? I'm sure performance is fine. Touchwiz is heavy as far as skins go so I expect the Maxx to be pretty darn snappy even with just a dual core because it has 2GB of RAM. 32GB of storage is plenty.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raichur0xx0rz:
I am using both a DNA and the Maxx daily, so it's 1080p LCD vs. 720p AMOLED. While the screen on the S4 (and the One) are very good, they're not so much better that I think that I am looking at a lower end phone with the Maxx's screen. The screen on the Maxx is still decent, even if it's got annoying AMOLED qualities (over saturation, purple tint at low brightness) but it's fine.

If battery is a problem on the S4, and you don't want to be switching out battery packs, return it for the Maxx.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeerSteak:
Orsum. Now if only Amazon would get them in stock. I'm going to be calling them tonight about it, and hopefully they'll at least let me place my order. I can get by on a Droid X2 a little longer. :laugh: :eek: :crying:

I talked to VZW to see if I could return my S4 to Amazon and get the Maxx through them and they're like yea, but you have to cancel your contract through them and then open a new one with VZW. But my contract has 3 lines and 2 of them are happy with their phone. I wouldn't make them do that just for me. I'm kinda stuck. lol
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raichur0xx0rz:
Interesting... Did you open up a Verizon account through Amazon recently? Sounds like you didn't since you have an X2.

If you didn't, then you should just be able to return the S4 and get your upgrade back, then go to the Verizon store and (trade in your X2) upgrade there. Doesn't matter where you do the upgrade if you can just return it to where you got the new device from.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeerSteak:
I did actually just open my account. The X2 is a spare I acquired because when I first got my S4 and my wife's S4 BOTH of them had to be replaced almost immediately (hers just died and wouldn't power on; mine had the speaker go out so it never ran). I didn't want to go without a phone and neither did my wife so I picked this thing up on my local Craigslist and transferred her number to it while hers was replaced, and then transferred my number to it while mine was replaced. So this is a brand new account.

I was told by Amazon via email that basically that's what I can do though. Return the phone, get my subsidized device purchase price back as a refund, and buy the Maxx on subsidy when it's available.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raichur0xx0rz:
Oy, that's a hassle. Although... if you just open a line and bring your own device, even "through" Amazon, if they release you from the 2 Year Contract on your line, shouldn't you just be on month-to-month at that point, using the Droid X2? And then, can't you just go to a Verizon store then sign a new contract there? Seems odd that Verizon won't let you do that, though it could just be the individual wanting you to do everything through them instead.

I know Amazon adds a few extra stipulations in their agreement, but I don't know if they lock you in like that where you can only purchase through them.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeerSteak:
Well, Amazon says they will refund the purchase on the original phone, so what I plan to do is send it back, let them refund me, and then see if I have an "upgrade" on the Verizon website. If I do I'll just buy through them or go into the local store and pick it up. If not, then I will call them and worst case is I'll have to wait for Amazon to get it in stock.

Might have to pick up another phone if I have to wait, though. This X2 is seriously laggy. :lol:
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soapbubble:
I had an S4 with AT&T and I opted for the Maxx on verizon (needed to swap carriers anyway).

I really don't regret it. The camera on the S4 is lightyears better than what we have, and that does really bother me, but I can't leave this battery life anymore. The screen difference is noticeable... especially with a screen protector. No idea why but I swear something about a protector magnifies pixels a bit. But it's not a deal breaker for what I do with a phone anyway.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeerSteak:
Thanks for the input guys. The S4 is back in Amazon's possession and I'm just waiting for the Maxx to come in stock, already have the order placed. I was warned that it could be a while so I'm getting an OG RAZR Maxx on Swappa so I'm not stuck with this X2 for now.
