[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Jash_94:
Hey Guys, I tried searching the forums everywhere already and I've come across some non-specific posts about it but I need a definite answer.

I currently own an HTC One XL locked to rogers, and I want to purchase the NEW HTC ONE. My problem is concerning the radio frequencies across the Globe. I will be as of Oct 1st be moving to australia for a year and was looking to inquire that if i bought an HTC ONE in Canada and had it unlocked, would it be compatible for use on the Telstra or Vodaphone networks for use. Of course i would be using an australian SIM but I havent been able to find any comperable information on this matter. THANKS IN ADVANCE :D

Hello,

I just bought a android 4.1.1 mobile that's model name is: Alps E1909l_v77_gq1008_a41_v20. You have probably have been asked this a lot but how can I root it with out bricking it?

I have tried using srsroot (the one click method which didn't work) and I tried using this MTK6577 root which also did not work. This is the phone I bought: amazon.co.uk/--/dp/B00BI1IXFY .

So please help as I really want to root it with out bricking it. As its one of the very vast range of different phones I doubt there is a root method for it that will work/not brick it. If you could before I root it could you tell me a way of backing up the Stock ROM WITHOUT rooting it? I have used adb to back it up but I don't know if that backups the whole phone ROM. All the methods I have used are the fourth post.

Thanks,

I can help get you rooted but it is not possible to make a back up of your stock firmware until after we root with this method.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zacy5000:
Thanks for the reply!

So how? Does it require flashing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klown80:
I can point you to a one click root option then you can just use MTK Droid Tools to make back up of your stock firmware. OR you can use MTK Droid Tools to make a custom recovery that will allow you to make a back up in recovery (this way you can back up firmware before rooting but you will need to flash the custom recovery to device first) Let me know which way you prefer to proceed and I would be glad to help. :)

Spigen film screen protectors & Glas.t/Glas.tR

I have been a big fan and user of Spigen products for years and tonight I happen to find that for some odd reason Spigen has a bunch of products up for pre-order on amazon.com that are not yet available to order on Spigen's site or even listed on Spigen's site yet.

Two items are the Crystal Clear (Film), Oleo-Phobic and of course the ever popular Glas.t Slim and Glas.tR Slim. If you recall Spigen did not offer a Glas.t series for the GN2 due to issues they had so I was very pleased to see them return with a GN3 version. I have pre-ordered both the Crystal Clear (2 packages $1 each on promo as noted below) AND the Glas.tR Slim.

**** Well I spoke too soon, the price has now jumped to $9.99 glad I got in while I did. Still not bad for a (4) pack plus (1) back protector.

http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-Samsun...&qid=1378782251&sr=8-1&keywords=Spigen+Note+3

I have used both of their screen protectors extensively and I can say their Glas.t series is worth money in terms of durability, feel and clarity. Their film based ones are also a good deal and at the cost of $1 (right now) it might be worth stocking up just so you can have some spares if you wreck them.

Also they are selling the SPIGEN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Screen Protector Clear [Crystal] [4-PACK] **Value Pack** Premium Front Screen Protector + Back Protector for Galaxy Note III for $1.00 as well. Jump on these asap. Amazon.com: SPIGEN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Screen Protector Clear [Crystal] [4-PACK] **Value Pack** Premium Front Screen Protector + Back Protector for Galaxy Note III: Cell Phones & Accessories

The screen protectors are their film material ones, not their Glas.t series but for $1.00 you get (4) front and (1) back in the package. Can't go wrong.

The Glas.t Slim and Glas.tR Slim are $27.99 & 34.99 respectively and while there are cheaper versions available Spigen goes the extra mile to continue to push the envelope and get thinner and thinner without sacrificing quality. The Nano series is available for the GS4, perhaps it will arrive for the GN3.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DMax99:
Hang on so you got them for only 1 dollar? Wow.. Are you sure that's not just the pre-order price?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
Nope, they were on there for $1 so I ordered (2) of the (4) packs, but then the price shot up to $9.99 a hour or so later. I also ordered the Glas.tR Slim $34.99 and I got the Neo-Hybrid Dante Red $1. If I had been smart I would have ordered like (10) of each and sold them for say $2-3 to help others out and cover shipping but I didn't want to get stuck with extras I didn't need.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DMax99:
What's the advantage of having the glass screen protector compared to the normal ones?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
Its tough to quantify it, but its smoother, easier to use and you feel like you are using it without one on the device.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
i think im going to get a glass one from spigen. will it feel like it doesnt have a screen protector on it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MarioUK:
Hi,

Apologies to what might be a stupid question, but could someone tell me the differences between the following two products, is it the same product listed twice but at different prices or is there genuinely something different:

My question is:

Do we still need screen protectors.

Isn't the Note 3 using Gorilla Glass 3 now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] c-mack:
i was wondering the same thing about the Glass..... I'll still get a TG protector, better to be safe than sorry....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] swissross:
I'm not real picky. Never used a device with screen protector that I didn't like. To me, as long as it's applied correctly I don't even know it's there. Therefore cheaper is better. Bought a 6 pack of these "SUPERSHIELDZ- High Definition (HD) Clear Screen Protector" because it was the cheapest I could find. 6 pack for 6 bux shipped. Arrived in 2 days. Standard front and back peel off protectors for each one and 2 cleaning cloths. I'm happy...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
It will feel just like you have nothing on the screen, its really the best way to protect the screen with a naked display feeling.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

The Glas.tR has a rounded edge and some prefer that vs no rounded edge. Its a preference thing more than anything, and cost too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] thatsnailguy:
I am pretty sure that I have narrowed down my choice between these two.....

I cannot trust myself with a "naked" phone I need a full case, that being said I like the Spigen Neo Hybrid case.

Which protector would you recommend if the phone's plastic will never see the light of day.....

Should I go with the thinner Glas.t or will it not matter in a Spigen case?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Dan37tz:
I used to be a firm believer in using my phone without a screen protector but after having my LG G2 for one day (Gorilla Glass 3) I have 2 deep scratches on the screen after sitting in my jeans with my car keys. I thought keys wouldn't scratch Gorilla Glass 3 but apparently I was wrong.

I am ordering some Spigen screen protectors for my N3 for sure. Anybody know the difference between the Ultra Crystal for $15.99 and the regular Crystal for $9.99 on Amazon?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lm that guy:
Whats the status of your Glas.tR. My card was charged and has a status of "Shipping Now" on amazon. I just placed the order today.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Maverick777:
Mine still says:

STATUS:	Preparing for Shipment

SHIPPING ESTIMATE Monday, September 30, 2013

However, I have a Neo Hybrid case on the order as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lm that guy:
Your Estimated shipping is before mine. I have between October 16th - October 18th.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
Mine still shows a ship date of 9/30 but I have two cases not due into stock until 9/30 my crystal clear screen protectors are in stock and now the Glas.tR Slim says 10/10 for stock but my entire order says 9/30 so I am not sure if their initial stock is sold out on Glas.tR Slim or what. But this is why I opted for the crystal clear film ones just case I ran into a delay I can't afford to go without protection.

My card was charged immediately though which is a BIG NO NO, they are not supposed to charge a credit card until an items is ready to ship which could get them into trouble with PCS compliance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lm that guy:
I sent an email earlier and asked why my card was charged 20 days before it ships and whether or not that means its shipping before 10/10. Awaiting a response..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tungo0516:
Anyone have an idea if DBA (Just like glass) will release a protector soon for the Note 3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I will be curious as to what their reply will be. Its standard practice and its not legal to charge someone for an item/service whatever that has not actually been provided. Pre-orders usually get a small hold put on the card or a small % as noted in the agreement. But this was done with amazon.com so you may also want to contact Amazon.com about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff5347:
I just received my mhl to HDMI adapter. Hooked it up and it works. I get a picture on the screen with YouTube, DirecTV, and so far anything else. The only thing it doesn't do as far as I can tell is charge the phone. I'm not looking for it to fully charge or quickly charge it as the phone is in use but all indicaters ( batt in status bar, lock screen,ect) don't show the phone charging. I know it isn't as I seem to lose about 1% per 3-4 minutes. Is this how it is supposed to be , meaning the phone won't charge or is it supposed to and I just can't get it to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
My official Samsung MHL adapter charges my phone... Well since the display has to be on for MHL it doesn't really charge it, it is but the screen uses so much battery that it actually loses a small percentage over time.

You should see the charging icon though...

No I have no charge ( lightning) icon. My adapter isn't official. Got it off eBay. Hmmm.

Hey guys. I have been using this site for a while and have just made a new account. I look forward to some helpful chaps :)

PHONE: GALAXY ACE GT-S5830

I have installed 4 different types of Cyanogenmod (CM 10.1 Pro, etc.) and have found a problem. Even after battery calibration (thank google play :p) i have always received severe battery drain. Eg. I would leave my phone on charge overnight. In the morning I would wake up and I could basically watch it go down like a timer. About 2 minutes after unplugging the phone it would have gone down to 81%, even without using the phone!

I know this isn't the ROM's fault since it has happened on numerous ROM's, as I said.

Also, after it reaches about 20% it sometimes slows down the drainage.

I don't get this problem on the stock ROM. I really want to use the stock ROM and UI (TW) cause its got many features, but wanna keep Jellybean cause of BBM for Android coming out soon. If there is any type of ROM which looks just like the original Stock ROM for SGA but with JB installed, could someone please point me in the right direction for it?

Many Regards & looking forward to a ahppy community, HelloMrBrandon. :highfive:

I was already thinking about bying a new device, but... never give up: after having experimented in the Settings->More...->Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names it's finally by dropping the Proxy and Port fields that the connection did work !

I rooted with Casual and selected TWRP for Custom Recovery. Everything seems to be working fine, but I have been unable to start TWRP. With phone off, I hold volume down + Power. The phone will vibrate every few seconds until I release the power button. Then it starts in normal Android mode. Am I trying to start this in the wrong way or is there something messed up with TWRP on my phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Afro Samurai:
Until you flash a rom that has a custom menu to boot to recovery you have to hold volume up plus the home key while hitting the power button. Let the power button go but keep holding the volume up and home key then TWRP should start up.

Edit: You can also download Quick Boot by Sirius app from the play store and see if that gets you to your recovery until you get a rom on that let's you boot straight to recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
The buttons worked BUT TWRP isn't. I have an Android Robot, out for the count, he is on his back. The recovery must be messed up.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
From a powered off state, hold volume UP, home, and power. Let go of the power button when the phone vibrates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
Done that multiple times, same result - Android on back. Tried redoing TWRP with Goo manager, also Checked on lock/unlock with Ez Unlock - got "status unknown". Did not risk pressing either 'Lock' or 'Unlock' and exited app. Not sure what to do next.

Phone is working. Can make calls, messages, use & install apps and change settings. SuperSU is working, TB Pro is working. I did TB Backups & uninstalled multiple locked apps (Bloatware) before discovering that I cannot get into a working TWRP Recovery.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Odin flash a TWRP tar. Uncheck auto-reboot, once it successfully flashes, pull the battery then try booting directly into twrp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
Will Odin work if I am unable to get the phone into a working bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It should. There's download mode and there's recovery mode. You are having issues flashing a recovery. I don't see anything in your prior posts about difficulty accessing anything else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joekiv:
Your link above for the "TWRP Tar" goes to a page that instructs to go into odin mode on the 'device' by pressing Vol down, home and power. When I do that I get the Android Robot standing and a message that says "Downloading Custom, do not turn off device". At this point no buttons work and I have no choices do do anything and have to do a battery pull to get out. If I go in any other way I get the Robot on its back.

EDIT: You link was only for the purpose of getting the tar file, not a suggestion to use Odin Mobile. I think that all of the time I spent reading about this issue is affecting my brain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes, you use Odin from a computer and boot your phone into download mode then connect it via usb to flash files. Based on your post, you haven't used Odin before have you?

Edit: If it makes it easier, this thread has a [HOW TO] for Odin and the process of flashing tar files as well.
