[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lartomar2002:
My Ouya is rooted and I have CWM installed. This was all done without using adb,. I used rootmyouya and the Exposed framework abd Exposed mod. Ever since the April 17th firmware update I get a lot of stuttering when streaming internet videos using XBMC via ethernet and wifi is so bad I will not even consider that anymore. I have the Ouya firmware release zip prior to the ethernet screwup. What I need to know is how to flash the zip to rollback to the previous and then prevent Ouya from automatically updating again. At present the zip is located on my tablet but I can upload it to dropbox and then dl to the Ouya. Any suggestions on what I want to do?.

Gaming is secondary to using the Ouya as a media center for me.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkknight1812:
What kind of files are you trying to watch and from where? I am using a Nas and have no problems watching 720p and 1080p over wifi. It takes awhile to buffer but it works just fine for me. I would imagine ethernet is better. If you really want to return to another firmware I would suggest restoring to default first. There is a website that hosts all of the updates, it is posted on the forum. Try searching for it.

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

You have to install the zip from cwm by going into recovery and choosing install from zip. You also have to clear cache and davlik before you flash. I still would advise against flashing anything because the ouya is very easy to brick and at this point extremely hard to recover a bricked ouya if at all.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nchantmnt:
to downgrade to earlier firmware go to ota firmware thread in development forum (i think) and download the one you like to flash

then flash ota like any other rom, they are complete roms anyway.

but to don't forget to backup your files first ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] parakeet_parks:
To anyone who can help me. I've been rooted but running stock on my Sprint HTC One for about six months now and I wanted to drop back down to being unrooted and completely on stock so I can update to 4.3. I've unrooted my phone before but now it isnt working. Somehow I've managed to delete TWRP recovery from it and I'm on 1.31.651.2 which I'm pretty sure I updated to over top of root. I may be mistaken about that. Anyways, I tried using the RUU and that's when I realized that the 1.31.651.2 RUU hasn't been released yet so I went a different route.

Tried using the All-In-One Toolkit but my computer doesnt seem to be recognizing my phone.

As of right now the phone is powered on and able to view the homesceen and blinkfeed. Tried checking for update and now it is saying that my phone is up to date but is still on 4.1.2. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have been sitting in front of my computer trying to fix this for more than 3 hours.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucas155:
I'm checking Tmobile's website and not believing the cost, so I called them. Here is what is offered:

1. $708 upfront + $10 SIM card fee = $718 = unacceptable

2. 24 months $29.50 monthly payment = $714 + $10 SIM card fee = unacceptable

3. $199 upfront + 24 months x $21 monthly payment + $10 SIM card fee = $713 =

UNACCEPTABLE

Seriously, if I'm signing a 2 year contract, there has got to be a better deal than this. What are you guys doing to get the phone at a better price?

:crying:

EDIT: No more 2 year contracts.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rchapoteau:
That's pretty much what happens when you go with any other carrier. Tmobile is just up front with how they are charging you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barnabydog:
I'm on AT&T: $300 for a 2 year contract.

AFAIK, you don't pay "extra" for the duration of the contract and then have the bill reduced when the phone is "paid off", you just get locked into AT&T's service for 2 years, at the normal rate that any AT&T customer would pay.

You gotta pay to play.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgtcurry:
Lol I am looking at $725 + 8.25% tax which brings that to $784.8. I am just going to wait for craigslist. If not I am going to get myself a Z1.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
LoL..There is no better deal. Thats how celpones work. You either pay up front or you pay for it in increased monthly service charges.

No high end phone costs 300$ . Look at all the corners google has to cut to get there Nexus devices to that range. ATT/SPRINT/VZ all take into account the cost of the phone hence early termination fees.

You can try CL which is what I used to do..but IMEI blocking and scamming is rampant and disgusting and you may end up with a $500 wifi only device.

Buying it from eBay.....I originally planned to buy it in Decemnber,but I think this will be more soon,as the USD is getting very low/weak
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grifter9931:
You could try Costco,

They usually give you a bag of goodies which in the past has come up to about $100 dollars in case, car charger, cleaner and microfiber etc... Most importantly you get

90 days

to return the phone. It must turn on before returning it to them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
Sounds like you need to get a 2-3yr old smart phone, clearly the Note 3 is to expensive for you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killa12222:
That's actually really cheap compared to the plans down here in Australia. I just got my Note 3 today and it will cost me about AU$1300 over 2 years.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpal181:
The note 3 is going to cost me around 931 usd in South Korea. The Korean version come with a load of accessories that American versions dont have, which must justify the highier cost. I already have a contract with olleh and just need to transfer sims. But for some reason most places will not sell a phone without a contact that I aready have. They do do the payment plans that add on to the service bill. I am having problems find a place that will just sell me the note.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dumbo53:
No, that's all you pay on At&t (or I think Verizon or Sprint)- there are no extra monthly payments that pay off the retail cost of the phone. You are just committed to another 2 years with them which you would've done anyways. Moreover, if you get it from Best Buy they'll price match anyone on the internet for 30 days.

That's what I did when I got my Note 2. Amazon mobile posted a price a couple days before my price match period was going to expire and I got a refund no questions asked. I paid $175 instead of $300. Walmart also offered that price.

That's why my advice would be to wait a while to see what happens. When a great deal comes along, someone will probably post it here anyway - that's how I found out last year.

Unfortunately I don't think any of that applies to the T-mobile version, or any non US users. Sorry.

On the other hand, the Att and Verizon Note 3 will be coming with the bootloader locked, so I'm going to wait anyway, since it would be useless to me that way.

What the bloody hell are you complaining about? I wish I could get it that cheap, and with me 80% of the world!

On a Dutch T-Mobile contract it's

2years 2GB + 90minutes = €44.00p/m + €269 phone = €1325. $1,802USD

2years 5GB (max) + Unlimited = €69,00p/m + €89,00 phone = €1745. Only a meagre $2,373USD

2years 250MB + 90minutes = €29,00 + €389,95 Phone = €1086. $1,476USD

In the shops it's €750 prepaid.

THE PHONE COSTS $1,020USD HERE.

Truly, stop feeling so sorry for yourself.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dumbo53:
If you include the cost of the contract, obviously we'll pay way more than what the OP or I were quoting. A better comparison is the cost of buying it from an online retailer in your home country without contract since we all have different data plans.

Edit:

By the way, you could try ebay (US site). I just checked and they'll sell for less than $1000. I saw several selling with a buy it now price of between $750 to $785.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roloracer:
Smartphones have been like this for a long time, in upwards of $600 unless you get a 2 yr contact, the more high end they are the more they gonna cost. I'll never dump $700 because I need two phone every two years so, instead of dumping $1,400 I'm renewing my 2 year contract with at&t and getting a note 3 for me and an iPhone 5s for the wife for under $700.

The reality is you want a fresh new device you'll have to dump that much money out get locked in a 2 contract. Well unless you want to pay a monthly payment on your phone on top of your bill.

RoloRacer on PA 4.3 Nexus 10
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xManMythLegend:
I think you are misunderstanding.

The price of your monthly plan is padded to cover the cost of any phone you may have. TMO is the first company to give you the transparency and be forward enough to say you're paying extra for your phone and we will drop the price once its paid off. Take a look at their pricing before they changed to their no contract , and compare other carriers. Other carriers are pricier per month because they know you dont want to pay full price on your phoneup front so they give it to you for $199 and the additional hundreds it costs you end up paying for in monthly service costs over the 2 years you are locked in. Its not a coincidence as phones got more expensive so did the early termination fees.

Again this is in the U.S I make no claims about overseas.

Hello guys :)

Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Galaxy S2 ?

Please answer and please tell me the reason for ..

Thanks :)
[General Questions and Answers] nemanteo:
S2

For me S2 is apsolutely the best phone I ever used. Highly customable so you can get performances very similar to S3, if not better and it looks more as a phone and less as a tablet :cyclops:
[General Questions and Answers] ianNaos:
I would have to agree the S2 imho is the better of the two.

A lot of support for custom roms...

A VERY stable phone as it is...

And performance wise, it's really quick even on stock ROMs..

My wife has an S2 (non-LTE), running stock 4.1.2.. it's FAST.. and that's saying something for stock ROMs..

Stock 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Note is garbage.. one of the reasons I HAD to root it, etc..

Plus my buddy has a Nexus.. and I've noticed when doing stuff with ROMs etc.. having an SD card slot, removable battery, etc is nice when modding if errors come up..

If you have a custom recovery go into it and press Install button, then select your zip.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
Didn't mean to be rude. it was just fun....

and in XDA, we have to be a bit rude when new people not try to Google and read stuff before posting a thread about it.

Let me explain..

You know how to install a program in windows, right? run Setup.exe etc etc

In Linux, or android specifically, you just copy paste stuff into the required directories, and set their specific permissions. That's it.

Flashing a zip does exactly that. When in a custom recovery, you select a zip and install it, it copies its contents into specific folders of your phone partitions and sets the permissions of files as required.

You install ROM's, MOD's, themes, tweaks and many more things using different zips.

Hope it helps this time..... but if you would have Google and read, then it would have been more natural learning for you and better understanding.

Regards

Yasir
[HTC Desire X] w1040:
to install a zip you need cwm or twrp recovery. then just go to install menu in the recovery, then choose the zip you want to flash. done :)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PenguinxEnjoi:
What does your RAM consumption look like on the ROM that you guys are using? Mine is almost always 280 MB+ and as you guys know we only have 368/369 MB of RAM. What ROM or methods do you guys use to keep your RAM use at a minimum? CM7 had the best RAM conservation for me (165-220 on average) but I want to use a ROM that is 4.1+ while still being able to use apps that take up a lot of ram smoothly.

I also notice that if my SD card gets full then the phone wil run slow as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aria807:
Recently I noticed I been having this weird issue while my phone is on LTE. When it is on LTE, it doesn't seem to receive any calls. I understand the phone is supposed to switch over back to 3G, but it doesn't do so and the call just rings and nothing happens (testing with house phone).

However if I try to dial out with my phone while on LTE, it will switch to 3G and make the call. I hang up (and while still on 3G), I called my phone with the house phone and it went through fine.

What's up with that??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhxDroid86:
Similar issue with some wifi calling... when at my girlfriends old place, I would connect to wifi (with wifi calling enabled) and my mom would come by to pick me up or whatever but when she called to let me know she was outside, my phone wouldnt ring.... when I called her, everything was fine and the call would go through... have you toggled the wifi calling options at all when testing out if your phone will receive the calls? I know you said that it was happening over LTE but the circumstances seem eerily similar
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] grayhaze:
I very rarely use MMS on my Himalaya, but I still like the feature to be there in case someone else sends me one. I recently received such a message from a friend, and was unable to download it. I am using O2 UK.

Now in the past, I have managed to send and receive MMS on the device, and have not since changed any settings relating to the service. However, when I now open the new MMS and click on the 'Download' button, the device connects to the WAP network, the 'MMS Receiving' icon appears at the top of the screen, and then promptly disappears. The message does not download, and simply allows me to press the 'Download' button again.

Have O2 changed the MMS service in some way during the past few months that would prevent me from receiving messages? I can still send them without problems, but receiving is another matter entirely.

I have tried reinstalling ArcSoft MMS, and reconfiguring the MMS server settings, but nothing I do seems to help.

Does anyone have any ideas, as I'm going crazy trying to figure this out... :(

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Grehy:
Hello!

Had CM 10.2 latest stable version up and running, in the process of downloading all my apps and restoring some stuff from titan back up. A few things like message/phone contacts said it would require a reboot to show the changes, so I rebooted and got the error

"Unfortunately The Process Com.android.phone Has Stopped"

at the lock screen, wifi on but no phone signal. If I got the chance to hit "ok", it would close and reboot, in a non-stop loop. So common sense told me to do a wipe from recovery and reboot, so I'm back to square one with all my apps and backups.

Some google-fu told me that using titan back up on some "system" backups will cause this loop, and that was the only back up that suggested a reboot, so I have to assume it was that. I never saw this mentioned anywhere during the process, just wondering if there is a way around it? Right now I have no numbers saved or my old conversations, mostly I just want my contacts as anyone can understand. Open to any suggestions!
