[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] NinjaDonkey:
Hi all,

I've had my MDA Pro a few days now and I'm really impressed with most of it (except the size, I still can't quite get used to it's wider dimensions...!) - the screen is AMAZING and is one of the big things stopping me going back to a QVGA screen!

I've tried video calls on it - BUT - they don't seem to work.

I've had a mate call me from the "3" network and it worked fine - we could see and hear each other without problems.

When I call him however all he gets is a "incoming call" notification (and not an Incoming Video Call notification) and all he hears is "digtial white noise" - ie, the sound of a FAX machine!

I have had 2 and 4 bars when I've tried making calls, but only 2 bars when receiving so I know I've got WCDMA coverage.

Does anyone else have this problem?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Between my wife and myself we have the \jasjar and MDA Pro and on different networks. No problems at all! But I have experienced this exact problem before when I had a Sony Ericsson V800 and called a relative on '3'. He could call me no probbs, we saw each other and everything. But when I called him, white noise for him but notification that he was receiving a video call.

Bottom line: It was never resolved so I took the phone back. Try a video call in a t-mobile shop, if it works try a video call in say vodafone or with someone else. This will tell you if you're phone is faulty or wether the '3' network is truly incompatible with some phones/network providers. Or PM me with your number and we'll try a quick 10 second test both ways.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] NinjaDonkey:
Thanks for the offer - I might take u up on it later on...

I've got some gibbon from tech supp calling me today to try and sort it out (I think he mentioned something about not pressing the little "turn video calls" button)

If that doesn't fix it then I'll be swapping numbers with ya!

Cheers

I have also had problems going from O2 to THREE with video calls...

I managed to call an Orange VIdeo phone and we both got a picture, they can hear me, but I get no sound :(

Calling from THREE to Orange works fine all round.

I couldnt get O2 to THREE to work at all.

Is there a general problem with network incompatibility here?

Video calling from T Mobile UK to any network is fine, as long as both partys are setup for the service, and have 3G coverage. and both handsets are compatible

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitesh2626:
Do these

1.Search for Multiformater Tool (Link is broken in that Op so go to.last post some had reuploaded)

2.Goto CWM and then flash that zip in that zip.choose Format data all to RFS 2nd Option

3.And then Goto Stock Recovery (Red one) Do wipe data/cache

4.Now you can Restore your Backup of Custom Rom

5.Thats it if you want to goto CM7.2 Then just Follow beil's video After Doing Wipe data /cache in Stock recovery

Thats it :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thgm21:

Any suggestions for other ROM's though? I just want the phone to work smooth/without lag and to play some games.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hitesh2626:

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sniper Killer:
Actually he said suggest, not which is the best so it's OK.

You can try Touchwiz Resurrection if you like TouchWiz UI and also smoothness. But if you like Holo you can go for Cosmic v2 for simplicity or AceJB.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thgm21:
Thank you a lot, one more thing i wanna ask:

Is there anyway to hard-brick my phone by trying out ROM's? And is there any point of boosters like pureperfomance X/or kernels(and which ones you suggest me to use) for the custom ROM?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sniper Killer:
So far, our phones can't be hard bricked by installing our ROMs or kernels. Phone can be hard bricked when you use ROM Manager or when you install other roms of different devices.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamps:
Hi.

This is a general question to all rom flashers. How do you restore apps after a clean install? I know you can use TB and other tools but for me they take too long.

I tried creating a cwm flashable zip afyer some research and it flashed fine. But some of my apps now are force closing. Some are working fine.

I dont care about apo data/settings.

I just want to install all my apps in 1 go. Any inputs will be highly appreciated.

I know that TB paid version has this feature but I am sure there should be a way to manually do it as well. Any alternate method?

Thanks in advance!!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XdaRaVen:
I use TB Pro and restore first the App and then the Data separately and i think its the best and fastest method to restore Apps after flashing an new Rom.

And it tooks less then 10 minutes and you are done :) .

A methode whithout TB i dont know but i maybe whit a script ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamps:
Yeah I know about TB paid version. I think I ought to try it.

I used apk_mass installer tool previously but it doesnt work on the 9500.

[Motorola Photon 4G] BillyDJJr:
Been on this since last night with no success and have scoured XDA over and over til I'm dizzy with all the acronyms and developer talk lol.

Background:

I installed a bad app 8 months ago and had to SBF my phone. I previously rooted my phone but had un-rooted so when it broke 8 months ago, the P4G was unrooted. Didn't do any lock or unlock stuff...whatever that is. So, I did an SBF using: "1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf" since Sprint couldn't fix my phone. I'm was thinking I was taking it back to stock with this SBF but apparently I was wrong. Anyway, this resulted in:

System Version: 45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US

Android Version: 2.3.4

BaseBand Version: N_01.28.07R

WebTop Version: WT-1.2.0-160

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 dnt648@fl36bdl22 #2

Build Number: 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6

ERI Version: 6

PRL Version: 51097

Problem:

Everything was working great!!!!!! Until last night. I received an OTA update. When it was done, it rebooted and now all I get is a flashing dual core logo. So, I figure I'll just SBF again...piece of cake right? Nope...I get the SVF:106:1:2 error on the phone. So, I've tried to SBF from 4 different computers using RSDLite 6.1.4 and no dice. I have wiped data/cache/factory reset...no dice.

Can someone please, please, please tell me what the heck I need to do to fix this phone in easy to understand terms lol? I'm in a really bad spot here since my wife is freaking out as we have two handicap kids and I travel. My phone is a life-line...literally!

It seems on XDA, there are many similar cases but there is always a difference which doesn't apply to my phone and to my problem.

I thank you in advance and I think you developers on XDA are amazing in what you do! Ya'll scare the crap outta me with your abilities!

[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
Someone may chime in to correct me as I may be wrong, but if the update was for 2.3.5 (which it most likely was) then the sbf's won't work. You can try to boot into recovery mode by pulling the battery and while holding down on the volume key until it says fastboot on the screen. Then keep toggling down until you see Android Recovery then press up on the volume key. It should say entering android recovery mode. Once you're there, press both up and down on the volume key and the menu should pop up. Toggle to wipe data with the volume key then hit the power button. When it's done wipe cache the same way, then reboot. It may work it may not, but that's all I've got.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BillyDJJr:
Thanks and I did try that as well yet forgot to mention it and as well...no dice. Just for the hell of it, I tried to SBF 198_7 thinking it was 2.3.5 (is it?) today. Again, I still get the SVF:106:1:2 error on the phone. Ugh.

I'm wondering...is it my bootloader that is hosed? If so, can I fix that or...do I just go ahead and try unlocking my bootloader (I'm assuming to do this a 'new" boot loader is installed...again, showing my limited knowledge here)?

Thanks!

[Motorola Photon 4G] pradeeppk:
There is no 2.3.5 sbf for photon. But you can find one for electrify. You should root your phone and flash some files to work

Look here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1798145
[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
198_7 is still 2.3.4. As far as I know, if you've accepted the 2.3.5 update, your bootloader is permanently locked and there is no way to sbf back to 2.3.4. or to unlock the bootloader. If the update is responsible for breaking the phone, then taking it in to Sprint may be your only option. Unfortunately, development has all but stopped on this phone and I doubt it will go any further.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BillyDJJr:
Yes, I am now looking for the 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US.sbf (Electrify) as this is what seems to work per this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1403322

Well, once again the devs on this site have saved my phone! Yes, I spent probably 40-48 hours getting it to work, gaining an understanding as well as tracking down software from broken links in the process but in the long run, it's worth it to me. The Photon 4G is a great phone and there is simply no reason for me to get rid of it!

So, I just wanted to drop a note and say thank you XDA! Motorola was useless...Sprint was more useless. This makes me want to learn C and Java programming but I am an IT consultant and no time to switch careers! Great stuff gents...great stuff!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] czarboom:
Guys, Ive seen the other posts, about this issue, and want to know a few things.

First off I am new here, and new to phone programming and general security issues on them as well. So if I jack this up, my bad.

I have a Galaxy Note 2 AT&T SGH-I317 stock (not rooted)

Its running

android 4.1.2 kernel vers 3.0.31

build JZO54K.I317UCAMC3

(before you start with check the other posts, I have tried the reset "power, home and volume button" and chose number 4 to clear all partition cache, also ran in safe mode to see if it was a downloaded app, still didn't work) I also want to know what is causing it, before I do the "applications manager reset all apps" Got a lot of custom settings and items blocked. Don't want to redo all of it.

So as of last night I was disabling some running process in the application manager. I did it by checking on them before. But, its not like I had the OFFICIAL Droid guide to disabling stuff on your Note2. That being said I take care to do it the best I can. Before I disabled each one, I cleared the cache of each one (if it was a option) and unchecked Show notifications. Force stopped them, and disabled each one.

Starting around 2pm CST the next day, my phone started to lock up, messenger will not work, phone app crashes after every call. But I was using it all morning on twitter, and instagram with no issues. And various other will not load etc. What could cause this? and is there a official list of applications for note2 with what they do and what they control.

Short list of disabled applications from last night are

Market Feedback Agent

LogsProvider

Google Play services, and Play store.

Google Partner Setup

DRM Protected Content Storage

DioDict3services (not sure about this one)

com.google.andriod.voicesearch

Hello everyone,

I have an SGH-i337 unlocked and I was wondering if it is possible to add the LTE Band 1800? It's the LTE Frequency of my carrier provider here in the philippines.

Can anyone help? Is this possible? I saw a video adding the AWS for access to T-Mobile's frequency but i'm not sure if it will help me connect to the LTE frequency listed above.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] emckai:
The AT&T (i337) only comes with LTE bands 1/4/7/17. You can't simply just add a frequency to a chip because it's hardware based. (i think)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tomoeshikihiro:
I see, that's unfortnate if that's the case. So, what's the case of the t-mo AWS unlocking?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] emckai:
Do you know the exact model of the t-mo aws unlock? T-Mobile LTE bands are 1,2,4,5. And the i337 contains 2 of those bands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
Didn't the MF3 firmware update unlock the 1800 band? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
It unlocked band 2 and 5 if I remember correctly. Which is band 2 1900 and 5 being 850.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
Ah. You are correct about 2 being 1900. Couldn't remember if it was 18 or 19
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:

Lte Bands: 25

Verizon SCH-I545

Bands: 4, 13

T-Mobile SGH-M919 and AT&T Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337).

LTE Bands: 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 17
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
I'm very curious if the actual hardware is capable of it, and it's just a matter of getting it enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tomoeshikihiro:
thank you all so much for the replies.

I also have the feeling that the LTE Band 3 just needs to be unlocked in such a way the Bands 2 and 5 were unlocked. Hopefully this would be possible but I am losing hope. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] emckai:
The AT&T model doesn't have LTE band 3 so there is no way for it be unlocked. It's not part of the software, but part of the actual LTE chip that is on board. (hardware).

I see. Hardware restrictions. Ok, :( thanks!

Hello all, and XDA developers,

I'm a short time lurker, and flasher, but that's besides the point. I've started my own business repairing phones and I've gotten very good at it, I have extremely fair prices, and this is putting me through college.

I've ran into an issue and I can't figure it out. I try to stay up to date on phones since my job requires that I work on phones, and although I couldn't find all the information about the hardware under the screen of the SGS4 i decided to replace a broken glass screen any way..... well now I have a dissatisfied customer on my hands and i'm doing everything in my power to rectify the situation.

What I did:

I used a heat gun to lightly heat the screen of my customers broken phone, like I have done many times before with other models of phones. I scraped off the old glass, cleaned the glue out thoroughly with alcohol and a small piece of microfiber (like for cleaning screens and glasses). I laid down 3m tape (possibly in the wrong place). Put the new glass on, and PRESTO done.......

The result:

A beautiful new screen, but the wake up motion doesn't work any more (where you swipe your hand across the screen w/o actually touching it), and the screen automatically blacks out once a call is placed. This may be because of where i placed the tape, but a new issue has reared it's ugly head...... It's typing now... by itself.... during calls and at other times. She wanted a different color for the screen and i told her that I will replace the screen and fix the issues all in one motion, but I'm not sure what is making it type on its own. Does anyone have any clue as to what could be causing this issue? I have until the afternoon of 9/25 Central time (UTC-06:00)

Thank you to everyone for existing, this forum, even if it doesn't resolve this issue, is simply a work of art by mad geniuses from all over the planet. I love everyone of you.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silent-circuit:
I've been mulling this over, and here is where I'm at so far...

Can we develop a relatively easy / straight forward wireless charging mod for the LG G2, similar to what has been done for the Samsung Galaxy S3/4 and Note 2?

At first it doesn't seem that likely, as there's not much space behind the cover of the G2, and not being designed to be removable, is relatively hard to get off. Maybe not that hard though. Some looking around here at XDA shows several people who have removed their back covers to rough them up and get rid of the shiny plastic / tendency to collect fingerprints, so it seems taking it off / putting it back on without damaging the phone is quite possible.

The main thing then is finding a coil / receiver setup thin enough that it won't cause bulging or fitment issues, which may not be possible while retaining the "stock" back.

I suspect we may be able to get around this by using a "snap on" style hard case and some padding to maintain the over all look of the phone, effectively mounting the coil in the resulting gap where the back cover once was. This isn't my idea originally -- I've seen several people do this when using exceptionally thick aftermarket cases for the Galaxy S3, where they either removed the stock back of the phone entirely or built the Palm charging coil in to the back of the case The main issue with this sort of setup would be the area around the buttons / camera lens as it would have a space there and likely collect dust and dirt / be more likely to get damaged. If the stock back becomes available (like via ebay, say) relatively cheaply I could see some people buying a spare and modifying it relatively easy to cover this problem area, we're talking about a thin piece of plastic after all.

The only remaining issue would be getting the coil connected, then. I have yet to open the AT&T version or see a picture of one opened (all the pictures I've seen thus far have been the VZW version with the wireless charging built in) but as I understand the AT&T and T-Mobile versions likely don't include the pogo pins used to connect the charging coil for the VZW version, so we'd have to find somewhere else to connect, likely to the charging pins of the USB port as has been done for other wireless charging mods with earlier phones.

All in all this probably won't be a common mod (we're likely in solid "warranty voiding / can't easily be reversed" territory here) but I don't see any definite reason so far why it wouldn't be doable.

Would anyone else (ideally someone with more "involved" hardware modding experience -- I've just done the Palm Touchstone mod in a few Samsung GS3s) like to chime in here? Suggestions?

I love my G2 and I imagine ROM / community support is going to be great since the Nexus 5 is looking to be based off of it, but after only a week or so of ownership I'm really missing just setting the GS3 on the Touchstone at night, and while the USB port seems sturdy enough I don't like risking it every time I charge.
