[Moto X Q&A] infomadness:
Guys,

I have a question. I am in the market for upgrading my Motorola Photon. Its right timing for Motorola to launch Moto X. I am currently with Sprint but I may switch to Straight Talk soon.

If I buy Off contract Moto X on Sprint, can I use it on Stright Talk?

Thank you.
[Moto X Q&A] ohwut:
No.
[Moto X Q&A] infomadness:
Why not? Doesn't the Moto X support LTE bands that AT&T and Straight Talk uses? It also has SIM card slot right?
[Moto X Q&A] infomadness:
Anybody here who can help?
[Moto X Q&A] icase81:
Not LTE, just HSPA+. It will work fine, just not with LTE.
[Moto X Q&A] saykin:
Are you sure Sprint Moto X will work? I thought sprint locks their Moto X's?
[Moto X Q&A] Lazybox:
It‘s sim locked
[Moto X Q&A] dudic:
Does anyone know how the sim lock actually works? I have bought new Sprint Moto X recently from ebay. I live in Europe and the phone wasn't activated yet. I can't use any local sim, but what's strange is that I have called to Sprint support and don't have my phone's IMEI in their DB, so I suspect that the lock is just a software lock on the phone itself. Is there any chance that the lock can be bypassed by flashing a different ROM?
[Moto X Q&A] rvger:
Any update on this? Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiZiM:
Coming from Verizon going to the TMO Note 3 I hate TW and will use Nova Launcher my question is how much of the phone needs TW?

Does the S-Pen stop working? What other features will I completely lose if I switch to a different launcher?

Also does the Note 3 support all the new Google Play Services and features? Hardware Geo-fencing and other 4.3 features?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimonkey9:
Just a quick question. What was the last version of Touchwiz that you used?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiZiM:
I honestly couldn't tell you maybe around two years ago since I've used it but I've seen it lately. I just don't really care for it, let's just assume I don't want it at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimonkey9:
I have to say try it yourself before you hate on it. It has really come a long way. As someone who has first-hand experienced it from the original Behold, to the Behold II(hell on earth), to the S1, S2, S3, and Note 2, I must say it has gotten pretty good. The Note 2 was the first Android phone that I ever had that I didn't immediately put a custom rom on it(well, not the g1 because it had none for a while). I actually used stock on it for 8 months because of how good it was.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiZiM:
Fair enough, however let's just say I decide I want my other launcher..

You only loose TW widgets all SPen features will work

I'll be flashing a the first stock ROM with SPen features lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiZiM:
So that's it? Just widgets? okay do you know if it will support Geofencing?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowwhite007:
Response based on Note two experience should have mentioned that
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elusivo:
Personally, last time i tried it, 6 months+ ago it didn't rotate to landscape yet, so i hated it, super impractical to use. I didn't keep up with the updates but if it still doesn't have such a basic option then it hasn't really come a long way at all, any extra function is irrelevant and i will never use it without landscape.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiimonkey9:
Except you can turn it landscape... If you are talking about for the homescreen, then as pointless as I think turning that landscape is considering it is still a phone, there are non-root apps on the market that can force turn it landscape and the UI is still flawless.

I'm just confused on how you think portrait is super impractical to use on a phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueChris:
Im using Go Launcher and it rotates perfectly the Home Screen in my S2
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elusivo:
ye, i'm talking about the launcher.

It's not that portrait is impractical, it's the lack of landscape that is impractical, i use the phone in landscape maybe more than 50% of the time, so whenever i want to go back to homescreen to do whatever, it's very annoying to keep having to physically rotate the phone to portrait just to read things properly and then moving it back to landscape.

But if there are apps that can turn the TW homescreen to landscape then i didn't know about them, i never even thought of searching for that as it should be an option of the launcher itself and not need an extra app... I use and prefer Go Launcher Ex cause it's much more customizable, but having the TW as a lag free alternative with landscape option would be great, i have to see if i find those landscape apps for the TW launcher.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
You can force TW rotation with adaptive rotation lock and other apps on the Play Store, though it looks a little wonky :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skarthik21:
Hi ,

I am currently having 4.1.2 official on my SGH-I777, recently rooted it and have mobile odin lite installed.

Need CWM recovery installed so that i can flash SuperNexus2 rom. So i have downloaded recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-i777.zip file from clockworkmod dot com website . Can i flash it directly from the stock recovery which i have now? or any other safe method you can suggest.

In some thread, there was a mention to flash boot.sys file from other kernel using Mobile odin which will get cwm installed.

If this is the way to go, please suggest a safe Kernal. I am just looking to get a stable daily driver for now, as i dont have an alternate phone.

Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
the stock recovery isn't good for much, so no, it won't allow you to directly flash the cwm recovery.

Once you're rooted and have mobile odin (&the odin i777 kernel) installed, you're halfway there.

Happy flashing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skarthik21:
If i flash boot.img extracted from AJK, will i be able to boot into the stock 4.1.2 which i already have, or should i directly start proceeding with CWM and the new ROM, just want to make sure before i start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 4-2ndtwin:
...side note warning... Do not use Rom Manager with the i777. If ya do u could possibly brick ur phone. There is a Stickied thread in this forum warning of this.

....no back to the regularly scheduled topic. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I think the nomswap version will allow you to boot to stock 4.1.2, but I can't promise that, I've never tried it. You should prepare as though you won't be able to return once you hit [flash firmware] from Mobile Odin. It's all covered in the guide.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Yes, if you use AJK v4.8 NoSwap you will be able to boot into your 4.1.2 system.

Also, if you are new to the I777, you should know that the recovery, including CWM recovery, is a part of the kernel, and not in a separate partition, so it can not be flashed separately from the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skarthik21:
Thanks, guys i was able to flash noswap and was able to boot up into existing 4.1.2:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] henvanvo:
ok here is the challenge, now some of us know the horror of a lost or stolen phone. Who has it? Where is it? Can i track it? Well thats where this challenge comes in. We all know about the extended rom , most people dont think that u can mess with this but actually you can. For those who dont know what the extended rom is, it a file folder that contains all the cab files that are used to restore your pda back to factory preinstalled. Well i know that using some programs you can actually edit or delete files in this folder. What i propose or challenge the coders to see if they can come up with a cab file or program that can be placed into the E.R. so that if someone hard resets the pda, that when it comes back and resets it would set off the cab file to collect information like the phone number of the new sim card the thieves put in the stolen unit, and or any other info that can be used to track this device. to email it or say call you at a certian time. Point is that if you can get the number of the person that has your phone, you can get it traced and at least get the cops to go to the address that the new sim card is registered to.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BeyondtheTech:
Wow, I like that idea.

I was actually coding it so that the first thing it would do is execute a full-screen lock and you'd have to enter a preset passcode. The only way to get around anything in the Extended ROM though is by performing a soft-reset during the 3-second pause.

The problem with the current WM5 HTC devices (Wizard, Universal, and Apache) is that they have a digital signature feature enabled by default. So I can't hack the Autorun (even if I could) to bypass the 3-second pause, since that would break the authentication of the digital signature.

I could, however, disable the security on the Wizard and Universal with a digitally-signed CAB file found in the Apache's Extended ROM...

If someone could teach me how to access the SIM, that would be key...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mtbsoft:
Um, am I missing something or isn't this what IIWPO does (for the WM2003/SE devices anyway)? As soon as someone changes the owner info. and puts in a new SIM, it SMS's you the details - I already have it installed in my ext.ROM.

For the WM2005 devices it might not work but it's currently protecting my XdaII.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] BeyondtheTech:
can you provide a link for iipwo
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] henvanvo:
no sim

doesnt seem like that program access the sim, it seems that it relys on the new owner to input their information, but how many of us actually do that. i dont for sure. so if the new owner doesnt imput their contact info then there is no way of finding them, where as i propose to make come up with a way to read the sim and get the phone number, that way its definatly going to get them
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mtbsoft:
It's here on xda-dev, just search. Oh, and it's iiWPo not iipwo.

They don't need to, all it does is compare the existing text (or lack of) with the stored value (your own), then gets any data and sends it. If nothing else you'll get the phone number as part of the SMS. If they DO enter info (and most people I know do, just in case it is returned if lost), then you get that too.

You also get the satisfaction of slowly racking up their bill for them if they are charged for SMS and if they query it and the telco starts to ask questions about where the 'faulty' handset came from or suggests it goes for repair... Gotcha!

isnt this only for WM 2003? has anyone got this to Work on a WiZard ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thefunkygibbon:
if someone steals/finds a wizard then what are the chances they will know how to or even if you can hard reset it? and the ones "in the know" might just install a new/default rom image overwriting whats on the modified ext rom.

what you need is something that executes on maybe the 2nd or 3rd incorrect pin number entry.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] henvanvo:
not true

thats not true , u can get a manual at imate to show u how to hard reset. but there is no manual unless u read these kind of forums. most theives are crack heads that just take the phone to see if they can sell it for money. no knoledge of these devices
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] henvanvo:
what i mean is there is no manual to enter the extended rom unless u read these kinda forum, we are fanatics
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] edsub:
iiwpo relies on security by obscurity.

It works quite well on Walaby and Himalay.

If put into extROM it will be installed after hard reset as well (but since it is not signed the user wil get the ability to cancel in WM5.

I am planning to test its functionality on WM5 with my new Wizard.

BTW: Anyone allready has a ExtROM editor to bypass the read-only protection in newer ROMs?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brettbee:
Having only dabbled with rooting and upgrading a Evo View tablet, I jumped into the deep end with my Incredible 2.

I got it to S-off and rooted and have been trying a few different ROMS (mostly chillybean's) and have what seems to be a common problem:

Sound works fine until a call is received. The ringtone fails to play and then sound doesn't work at all until its reset. I have had success resetting the sound by activating Google Voice Search with a long press of the search button. This seems to be true for CM10.2 and PAC. I didn't test this on an Evervolv because 3G never comes back on after Wi-fi has been turned on.

Has anybody had better luck with a particular 4.3 ROM? Does this sound issue affect pre-4.3 JB roms?

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brettbee:
I answered part of my own question:

I confirmed that the Evervplv nightly 2013.09.24 has a working ringtone. But once WiFi is turned on, 3G is off until reboot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
try beanstalk 1.300

I have been using beanstalk 1.300 with the b-team CM kernel.it has 4.2.2 and everything works! its fast and smooth with great battery life the 4.3 roms have some issues so I am gonna stick with this one
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] phillibl:
AFAIK everything in the newest Evervolv works.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brettbee:
Are you using a nightly? Which one?

Does 3G come back after WiFi is turned on?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kahlil88:
Chillybean updated his CM10.2 ROM -- the 20130929 build has the sound issue fixed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brettbee:
The 929 rom is not working for me and I know at least of couple of other folks in the same situation.

Are you using the 929 ROM with sound successfully? What - exactly - did you do to install it? I'm wondering if it's a I'm-doing-something-stupid/wrong thing or maybe a hardware revision thing.

Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kahlil88:
Flashed it like any new ROM. Backup important data and reboot into recovery mode. Once in recovery mode:

Factory reset

Wipe cache

Advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

Mount/unmount -> format system

Format boot

Install AntiVenom SDW

Flash a ROM

Flash GApps

Wipe dalvik cache

Reboot and you should be golden. I've had it hang at the boot screen a few times, had to start over and skip installing GApps until I was sure it would boot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brettbee:
Thanks! I'll give that a try. I wasn't quite as thorough with wiping/formatting as you were. Fingers crossed....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brettbee:
Well, that didn't work for me. The only thing I didn't do was "Format boot." I couldn't find that in Revolutionary CMW.

I'm thinking there's something different about my phone. Hardware? How I rooted it? :confused:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kahlil88:
What version of gapps are you installing? Try flashing the ROM without installing gapps and see if it will boot, then if you're successful go back into recovery mode and flash gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip from here.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loudaccord:
funny question, does docking mode work with these roms?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] flinzak:
Check Chilly's forum. The Inc S Dev posted a flashable fix for the sound problems. I flashed it and all is fine.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Dinc273r:
I flashed Evervolv 10/30 nightly yesterday and it looks like they have the 3G/WiFi toggle issue resolved. The quick settings were missing but, I'm guessing that'll be corrected in the next build. Also, flashed B-Team Kernel. 4.3-s2w version resulted in bootloops but, the 4.3-v2 version worked just fine. No sound issues as far as I can tell.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonatcer:
Does the latest Everlov nightly work? Also what are you all referring to when you say Chilly's forum, the "Inc S dev fix", and AntiVenom SDW? I went through 5-10 of the most recent pages on Everlov and didn't see any of these things, so would someone mind providing links?

Thanks :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2049902 this is chillybean's thread you can find AntivenomSDW in the other section of the OP (first post) the inc S dev fix can be found here http://d-h.st/1h6
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jonatcer:
Alright thanks a bunch. One more question though - what exactly is AntivenomSDW? Where can I find more information on it? Google is little help here.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ArslanQureshi:
its an flashable zip that completely wipes your device it is highly recommended to use whenever you flash a new rom it is developed by Chillybean

Alright thanks a bunch.

Would you, or anyone else still reading this thread, care to weight in on whether Evervolv or CB's rom (Which? Beanstalk?) is more stable?

I think you mean 8gb model 5gb is how much you actually have usable system takes some.

Hmm I'd have said it's about right for the 8gb model.

Glad when I ordered a 16gb model I got the right one. The 8gb would have drove me up the wall.

I actually wanted the 8GB one instead. But there were none available when i went to order. So ordered the 16.

So they basically did you a favor.

16 is the sweet spot for me keep some albums offline and I'm down to 6gb free now. I also bought it when the price dropped.

And the ROM would never make a difference. Your not changing the partition sizes. For example I'm on purity ROM and have 800mb free in system partition.

Just for fun, I played Corrie on the ITV player at the same time as on an iPAD 2. I wish I hadn't. The iPAD picture was crisp and colour rendition was perfect. However, the XZT looked like it was running really low definition. It looked like it was receiving a far more highly compressed feed than the iPad. I am hoping that I have missed a fundamental setting but at the moment, I don't get it. Surely the XZT should be streets ahead of an iPAD 2.

Any ideas?

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GretaLewd:
In the 1st line - he says ITV player.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------

Well, a partial update.

Waiting for my son to get home to unlock his iPad - so I've installed ITV Player on the Tablet Z and watched a bit of Corrie.

Have to say, ITV player is very poor compared to BBC iPlayer. I've watched quite a few programs on BBC iPlayer on the Tablet Z and all have played without a hitch in pretty good quality resolution.

In the first few minutes ITV player has "hung" (picture froze, sound continued). Got it re-started, watched a bit more. Noticeable pixelation, jerky playback, sound sync problems.

So, on Tablet Z, ITV Player is crap compared to BBC iPlayer. Will try it on iPad soon as my son gets home and I extract his password from him ;)

By the way, I'm streaming via my wifi router. My Broadband speed is about 7mbps.

I have a feeling the Tablet Z display is compromised because of the anti-shatter film. I'm getting very close to removing it - just a bit nervous about doing damage :eek:

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 PM ----------

Update 2 :

OK. Turns out my son's iPad is an iPad1 not 2 -anyway, installed ITV Player and BBC iplayer on it. Can't get ITV player to work - keeps crashing, freezing, delayed response - given up. Maybe it just won't work on iPad 1.

BBC iPlayer does work on the iPad1, so I watched the 1st 5 mins of "The Wrong Mans" simultaneously on iPad1 and Tablet Z.

Have to say IMHO....iPad1 was better :eek::(

On the iPad1, the picture seemed slightly sharper and the colour seemed better! By comparison, the Tablet Z's picture had more of a greeny/yellow tint and was slightly more grainy :(

Well, that's it - the anti-shatter film is coming off the Tablet Z. I'll see if it makes it any better & report back.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdes:
Same as the iPad. It was the direct ITVPlayer app. Just a thought, of course the difference is between the Android and Apple builds - but I still don't understand why the Android app would appear to show a more highly compressed stream. Are Android tabs in general thought to be lagging behind Apple and so the developers have to build a lower spec to accommodate the "average"? Am I answering my own question here!!:confused:
