[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SubnetMask:
This is about development, but is a question, so I figured I'd put it in questions....

I'm just curious, what happened to the 'old days' when the first post or three in the ROM threads contained the known bugs, issues, what's working, what's not, what's been fixed, etc for the ROM the thread was about, which was then updated as problems were fixed and/or new issues found? I'm not sure if other ROMs had it, but the Cyanogen ROMs used to. It was nice when you could look at the top of the thread and have an idea of what was working and what wasn't. Now, the thread is just started with virtually no info, and to try to wade through hundreds or thousands of posts to try to find out what's working and what's not, what has been fixed, etc is a royal pain.

Any chance of getting that kind of thing back so the information is easy to find? I would have to believe that would reduce the posts asking if this or that was working at least a little.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
That's all dependent upon the person who Starts/Runs the thread. Also you have to keep in mind that having a Rom thread is a fairly large undertaking in, and of itself. So it is sometimes difficult to keep everything completely up to date. Especially if you have more than one.

My buddy wants to get one of these and I am trying to find out if you can unlock the bootloader without going to HTC's site.

Thank you
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gobaers:
Nope. HTC will know you're breaking warranty when you unlock it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
This is why I keep my protection plan with Sprint. I don't mind paying the additional $11 per phone to make sure I'm not screwed if I mess something up.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Gorguts:
God I love T-Mobile. Ok, thanks guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Se7enpoint62:
I woke up this morning and my sch-i605 showed an empty triangle for connection. No way to turn on phone or text. I have data, which I'm currently using without WiFi. Reflashed a previously working ROM and still no fix. Status showed my number as 000-000-0096 but now its normal and shows Verizon as the network. Also says I'm on lte but my service state says out of service. I do not have a nandroid so I'm gonna have to hook it to the laptop at home. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks

Hey guys,

So I've got an S3 running AOKP at the moment and I was wondering if there was any way to disable the power button. It's been malfunctioning, and causing my phone to reboot constantly. Sometimes even when off it continues to think I'm holding down the power button and cancels the boot process...

Any ideas of a workaround? I'm out of warranty and can't want to pay for repairs at the moment.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mc045:
S3 power button boot loop (sudden death?)

Hi,

I am having the exact same issue. Very strange as it decided to do this while checking my email (finger no where near the power button) and I have never had any issues prior to this.

I'm running CWM, CM10.2 and I CANNOT BOOT into recovery (CWM) or ODIN, best I got was the CM loader screen then it reboots.

Even if I disconnect the battery, wait 30 minutes (fully charged) and replace the battery, it attempts to boot itself again. and again and again...

The best videos I've seen involve smacking the phone on the power button side (not going to do that, at least hard) I think it may be a random power button failure. I will be disassembling the phone tonight and trying to open or close the power button contacts and wipe my phone before it goes back....

Yoiks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] poacherD:
It's very random for me too. Sometimes it'll work all day then it'll take like an hour and a half to turn back on.

Quick question, as I've heard this from a couple people. Do you use an otter box?

Regardless I'm 90% sure this is hardware related and has nothign to do with software, because all the cases I've heard of this have had different roms, one of which was stock unrooted.

Pretty frustrating. Not sure I'll buy a Samsung again to be honest.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nonnarb:
This started gradually happening to me too and I bought both my phone and Otterbox in July 2012 when it came out. I noticed with my family members' S3's that their Otterboxes were different in regards to the power button (it stuck out more) whereas mine hardly stuck out at all. I got a warranty replacement this past July (2013) and the exact issues you described began happening. It started out as random reboots and as of yesterday, I can't get my phone to boot because it thinks I'm holding the power button down (therefore not letting the boot process finish). I took my phone apart, expecting the power button to be an easy swap like it was in the GS2, but no, it's a part of the friggin motherboard. I also am looking for a way to disable the power button. I'd recommend that if you are able to get it to boot even once, that you make sure to backup all your stuff. Fortunately all my pics are backed up since I can't boot my phone anymore, but other files are currently inaccessible. I wonder if anyone knows if some sort of electrical tape or something could prevent the power button signal from transferring so that we would be able to boot our phones?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JDM STi:
I had the same power button issue with my Captivate as well... and thought that issue had been looked into. After 14 months of use on my S3, I noticed this issue appeared.

Solution (well not quite): change key layout to disable power button. Re-map volume down as "power, wake". Yes, by doing this, I am losing volume down button. Also, when the phone is off, I still need to press the power button to power it up. My fix of changing the key layout file won't take charge until after the phone boots up.

[G2 General] Dchibro:
Weird. In those pictures, the AT&T version has a bit of a blue hue to it, while the Verizon version is hard black. There's definitely some kind of color difference on the back cover. Although, user pics of the AT&T version seen HERE look pretty black to me.
[G2 General] toraRTC:
I find the software differences to be very odd.
[G2 General] Dchibro:
Verizon removed the brightness and volume sliders from the notification window. I wish AT&T did this too. :(
[G2 General] toraRTC:
I agree. I just know that it probably means that software updates on Verizon's are even less likely if there are two different versions. Good thing I'm going to throw stock android on as soon as it's possible.
[G2 General] Sushiglobster:
Will there be anyway to remove that awful Verizon logo at the top right?

I came across some posts about using a penny to rub off the logo and it leaves no scratches.

I suppose you could add a sticker over it too.

Verizon is just out of control with their logo placement.
[G2 General] INCREMENTAL:
I personally like the brightness slider and it being gone is a dissapointment. Honestly after watching this vid im less enthused about the G2 since Verizon cant keep their damn hands off anything.
[G2 General] jayochs:
so am I, dude. that settings menu looks awful. I'm really reconsidering everything now. this is so damn annoying
[G2 General] Darkestred:
Devs will get to it. I have faith.

[G2 General] jayochs:

[G2 General] INCREMENTAL:
Yeah i feel the same way, if it wasnt for Verizons service in my area being top notch id walk in there and give them the finger. I just wanna choke someone.
[G2 General] EVOme:
Damn... Is there a white variant of this phone?
[G2 General] varunkumars:
I am on AT&T and feel sorry for our Verizons buddies. At first i felt the menu was bad too. As a matter of fact menu is not that bad it is just that we are so much used to watching the demo videos of the international phones. You may eventually start liking it as we play along. Don't be disappointed. Think about it.
[G2 General] INCREMENTAL:
I hear what ur saying and your right but it gets old man. Its like this with every phone. The buttons on the back of the G2 i actually like them better as far as looks. They look like metal and look premium. The wireless charging i want so thats nice to. The problem is you guys already have root, something that probably wont be as easy with the Vzw version, and a unlockable bootloader probably wont even be a option.
[G2 General] varunkumars:
Yeah i agree rooting is always a problem for Verizon devices. But as you mentioned features like wireless charging pay you everyday which is not likely in AT&T devices. There are pros and cons.
[G2 General] Dan37tz:
Did the Verizon version G2 just get one of the stereo speakers removed essentially making it a mono speaker setup? Yikes....

Feel bad so far for Verizon adopters so far
[G2 General] rdcamero:
Was all ways mono.Just made a grill cutout on the other side to make it look consistent.
[G2 General] Darkestred:
Both ATT and Verizon are mono.

Root will come. Well, if devs come...
[G2 General] Dan37tz:
Thanks for clarifying. Didn't know that. I'm a bit spoiled with the stereo setup on the HTC One.

:good:

Could you post some caps of battery life please
[G2 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I kinda prefer the verizon tweaks... I don't like the brightness and volume slider and i like how the settings are in the verizon one... I am a AT&T user... Man, and I want wireless charging....
[G2 General] Cheesejam:
I feel like I am totally in the minority here, but I like most of the Verizon changes. The flatter and smaller back buttons look better I think. Also, getting rid of those sliders in the notification window is a big plus for me. The settings are better too I think. Other than the logos, I think Verizon actually did a pretty good job.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
To everyone comparing the settings menu, they actually are the same, on ATt depending how you access it you will get either the tabbed layout or single page layout.
[G2 General] jayochs:
wait thats right, i remeber if you hit menu you get that...wonder if you can get tabbed on the verizon version?

i bet not, because i bet they removed that customization. sigh.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awpB628l824&feature=youtube_gdata_player

yo, go into settings and hit the menu button...can't you switch btwn tabbed layout and normal that way?

Yes, there is one around the power button on the back but it only lights up white and only activates when you get a call or during am alarm.

[G2 General] psychoace:
Yeah and the droid life video sounded like the guy was guessing. It didn't seem like he spent much time with the Verizon version since it seemed like he just got both in today. Hell he didn't know that the camera still had a sticker on
[G2 General] jayochs:
for the third time in the thread, please provide proof and not simply conjecture, because this is how misinformation gets spread on these forums.
[G2 General] Namtaru:
Multiple sites today, including droid-life and phonedog, have posted this picture, which shows the LED ring activated.
[G2 General] INCREMENTAL:
Well this article http://androidcommunity.com/lg-g2-verizon-vs-att-battle-of-the-buttons-20130911/ doesnt show any proof of the led buttons but he does talk about it. I have a pic below of him mentioning it. Either way wish we could get a actual photo in use. But lets all calm down and just be civil about it, i just want it confirmed with actual pics lol. I read stuff all the time thats not true and my big ? Is why werent there a setting for it in the display section.
[G2 General] Namtaru:
The G2 is now posted on the Verizon website, with the rear notification LED lit up, so yes, it has one.

hi,

is there any app using which we can apply separate volume levels for message and call notifications.. i want to keep low volume level for incoming messages but relatively higher volume level for calls. FWIW i'm on 4.3 stock rooted with franco kernel..

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
If you are rooted, you can use Xposed framework. The framework allows you make all types of changes to your ROM, even stock. Instructions and a detailed description are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

Once you have framework installed, you can choose which mods you want to run, a list can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2327541

Thanks. It worked. Installed Xposed and then gravity box and de-linked the volume.. but to modify the notification volume i had to install another app.. sound under settings wouldn't let me do it. so installed volume + and it worked. :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbarayah:
From your home screen, if you hit the volume up or down, you will see a small settings icon appear next to the volume bar that comes up.

From there, you can change volume of media, notifications, and ringtones separately.

Hi there

We develop an database application von PocketPC's especially PDA.

On the MDA Compact with Windows Mobile 5 there is only about 60 MB free space

Our Database ist self has a size of 30 - 40 MB the running abblication takes 15 MB

So if the user also has some contacts in outlook etc. we often get the "Low memory screen"

So we thought about putting the application on an Memory card.

But what about perfomance and liftime of the card if we write often to the card back?

Which card can you tell me for fast access time and / or long life time?

The cost are not so important because our product ist for companies and not private persons
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombolt:
Sometimes I drop to 3G in my home 4G area. Turning the phone off and back on usually does the trick but is there another way to keep the 4G connection?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
I believe you can set the phone to only receive CDMA and LTE in the Mobile Networks option of the settings (in the more section)

You can also set it to receive only GSM, GSM and CDMA, or all available networks.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zombolt:
CDMA=3G, LTE=4G. Right? Since I am on the Verizon network, the only circumstances that I would connect to GSM is if I left the USA, right? I wonder if there's a way to isolate LTE connectivity and turn off 3G all together..
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
You on stock or a custom ROM?

That sounds like a radio problem tbh.

You can't use LTE only - in fact, LTE requires a CDMA or GSM base for stuff like phone calls so it always has to be connected to 3g or 1x.

There's a possibility that switching airplane mode or pulling your SIM out would force LTE to reconnect
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mklugmann1:
Solution: Yes you can force lte

I'm not a engineer or a radio analyst but I do believe what the previous post says about LTE needing CDMA is completely wrong - it certainly doesn't need to have CDMA or any other radio band to effect LTE. That being said, LTE is BASED off of 3G CDMA. But again, I may be inaccurate, however I think the "proof is in the pudding"......HOW TO FORCE TO LTE (ONLY)

1. Open up your phones dial pad

2. Dial *#*#4636#*#* (An app with the title "Testing" should open automatically... but not 100% sure. If it doesn't open auto hit dial....

3. Select "Phone Information"

4. Scroll down the phone information page, you should see the first button that says "Turn off radio"..... We want to focus on the item right above that. By default it's set to "LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA"

5. Click on that which should provide a drop down list, with specific radio bands.

6. In your case select "LTE Only"

7. Profit!

FYI: IN "LTE Only" mode you will not be able to make or receive calls - this is good for DATA only. You can manually reset back to default mode but regardless every time your phone reboots it will go back to default.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Felimenta97:
So, I have been searching a bit on how to root the Nexus 7 2013. The process I have found seems pretty simple, even for me, as someone who never worked with a Nexus device before.

Unlock bootloader, flash recovery and flash the root.

But the first step, unlock bootloader, has a problem: it wipes all the user data (including SD Card data!!). As the tablet isn't mine (but I was asked to root it), I can't simply just clear all of its data and do the whole process. Thinking of that, I googled a bit on how to root without unlocking bootloader, but I have found nothing (all recent Sony phones, with a few tricks and the right tool, can do that) regarding the 2013 model.

I'm not sure if there is actually no way to do that or my search skills suddenly got horribe... So, the thing is: Is there a way to do that? Root without having to unlock bootloader (and, thus, wiping all data)? Or I have to unlock it?

EDIT: I found this Toolkit, but did a search and nothing regarding that in the 22 pages of the thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2389107

Another few questions that I'm lost: I still haven't quite understood why I have to flash the stock ROM back after I do the whole process... So, why?

And, also, what do I lose unlocking bootloader? I mean, the tablet isn't mine (it's from my younger brother), so the easiest, the best, so keeping OTA updates for example are essential. Do I lose it? What else?

It sounds, for me, some silly questions, but I'm still confused... Seems like doing that kind of stuff is easier with my Sony phone. I don't know if it is due me being used to it, but Nexus is sounding to be WAY more hard than everyone keeps saying it is...

Thanks in advance...
