[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mess18:
I've got a At&T i747. Unlocked (through the *#197328640# menus) and rooted it. Loaded it with the GOODNESS ATT v2.4 ROM. It worked OK several days, but today the phone stopped issuing and receiving calls without any visible reason and I did not change anything in the settings. When I dial a number, I hear one beep in the headphone then, the phone writes the call is ended. Same is when I call to it from another phone: the calls ends in seconds without connection. Signal indicator shows one or more bars. I have tried to insert another working SIM, but now there is no signal indicator at all. (I tested both SIMS on another phone of mine: both are 100% OK in and out).

The phone does not say there is no SIM in both cases and does not request unlock code.

I have cleared the cache, the Dalvik: no change.

I have re-flashed the ROM: same.

I have changed the Kernel: same.

I have made factory reset: same.

My feeling it is something connected to unlock or modem, but I don't know what tools can check and confirm it.

Does anyone have idea what can it be? And what should I do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mess18:
Looks I have found the heeling, but I still do not know what cased the "sickness": I just made again the *#197328640# unlock until I've got the "successful" result. Now both SIMs work OK. and calls can be done in and out.

Does anybody experienced such a problem with unlocking a phone using this method? Is it a temporary solution?

Should I just buy a code from AT&T and forget the whole thing?

Hey, I can't quite post in the dev forums yet, but I just thought it might be worthwhile information to know that I went ahead and installed the OTA update after I got my Note 3 yesterday and despite trying Shabbypenguin's root method 5 or 6 times I could never get it to work. Thankfully Chainfire's worked the first time. I just figured people might want to know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] -viperboy-:
That's because Shabby posted a recovery, not a root method...

[About XDA developers] villan.co:
i had accidently typed "villan.com" when updating my account's email address, when it SHOULD have been "villan.co" - the .com was just habit. i never got the verification email, and could not find a way to resend it, even during the logout/login/forgot password screens. also, you can not get back to the email/pwd change page, because the control panel blocks you until you verify your email.

if this happens to you, you can go to your control panel, and get back to the email update screen by clicking on the "google+ email and password" option, further down in the list. it will let you get to the email update page by getting around the control-panel's user-check, so that you can re-update your email again.

I have the maxx but the camera is horrid. I keep checking the back to see if the plastic is off the camera. Anyone play with both phones? Is the g2 UI at least bearable and how do the battery usage compare?
[Droid Ultra General] docslate:
Haven't make a purchase but I am also stuck deciding between the 2. What is important to me is root access and tethering, camera less so. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems from reading the Ultra/Maxx forums that root could permanently disappear with the next OTA. Or I could get the Maxx developer edition, probably have permanent root (am I wrong here also) and perpetuate my unlimited data plan.

Just seems like there is a lot more developer activity happening for the G2. Also battery life appears comparable to the Maxx.
[Droid Ultra General] bisbers:
FYI Hashcode just released safestrap for MotoX (and so very likely the Maxx). Should be able to use that to grab updates/updated roms.
[Droid Ultra General] TruEastSydeBoi:
I own both phones and the G2 is better then the Maxx in every aspect. Hardware (processor, audio chip set, screen, ir blaster), UI customization, camera, development, except for build quality. The Maxx has Kevlar backing and a louder speaker vs shiny plastic and I think mono speaker. You could say better battery and radio but honestly it's about same strangely.
[Droid Ultra General] theycallmerayj:
I personally base my decision off the software of each phone. I had an s4 and while it was good I enjoy my Maxx leaps and bounds more than I did my s4. The s4 and g2 are different but they are both skinned versions of Android where the Maxx is mostly stock. Also the active notifications and the touchless control are features I've actually used in the short time I've had it, yet I never used the s4's features. Finally, my maxx has yet to lag at all due to the fact that stock android runs smoother than most skinned versions. Just my 2 cents
[Droid Ultra General] redddog:
I really wish that people would relax about the specs of phones these days. The quad cores are so freaking overkill on a phone it's silly. The Maxx is totally optimized as a phone and runs as smoothly as ant phone on the market. And if you're counting cores, the maxx has 8. By my count, that's double the G2. The 1080 vs 720 screen? Are you kidding me? It's a 5 inch screen! The human eye cant tell, people. it's a joke!

The maxx is a better phone. It's bare-bones android and has some incredibly cool, useful stuff. Knock on? big woop. give me touchless control and active notifications over that.

It's pissing in the wind, I know. But all this spec war nonsense is nothing but that. Nonsense.

[Droid Ultra General] cj2566:
Thank you for this. It's refreshing to see someone else with a bit of sense. While I will say the G2 has a nice camera, everything else about it seems cheap to me. I hate shiney plastic. Another reason I sold my S4, Note 2, S3 and the other phones I've used in the past several months.

I love Motorola's build quality. Even the One has had some quality control issues (seams not lining up).

Anyway, still befuddled as to why people praise other devices and how much better they are in a Droid forum.... Opinions are fine, but at least put some facts in or anything more than "it's just better" because I said so.
[Droid Ultra General] Jimmy2u:
if its about the camera quality..then I would say G2 is better than Maxxx....but if it is Motorola vs LG then I will say Motorola is far much better than LG...because the build of Motorola is very much impressive as comparable to LG
[Droid Ultra General] cold21blooded:
Being that I finally got my maxx and have played with the G2 bunch of times.. We have a g2 on display at our store now.. I would choose the maxx.. Besides the camera which is getting fixed with a software update its a great phone.. I can't really find anything wrong with it to complain about
[Droid Ultra General] NWKENT:
Not a complaint..Just a preference for me, the charge port at the top, like the RAZR Maxx is..I have the prop stand on my cases, same as I had with the RAZR's..but cannot charge while propped in portrait position..but, I will adapt..lol..and a storage slot would be nice, to store SafeStrap backups and so on..but all else, adore these devices..

[Droid Ultra General] sdny8:
The x8 processor is not CPU cores. The maxx is a dual core.
[Droid Ultra General] Khanusma:
Agreed!!
[Droid Ultra General] MrTweakers:
The maxx has a total of 6 cores. 2 for the cpu and 4 for the gpu. And IMHO, that droid maxx is perfect except for the terrible camera software (which is fixed with a 3rd party camera app like camera360 ultimate), the lack of external storage, and the inability to remove the battery. I LOVE the minimalistic version of android! This phone NEVER lags! <3
[Droid Ultra General] sean67854:
Not to be pedantic, but:

4 graphics processor cores

2 application processor cores (CPU)

2 low-power cores
[Droid Ultra General] Ace42:
1) Every Adreno 320 has x4 cores(Nexus 4, HTC one, S4 US ver), Moto is the only one that places any emphasis on this

2) The LP contextual core and natural whatever shouldn't even be considered as cores. Why? Because every little thing would be counted into the core total. Let's take the S600 SoC for instance. It has the 320(x4 core), x4 CPU, and an audio DSP(x1), does this mean it's a 9-core system?

Moto's interpretation of cores is misleading and is a marketing scheme.
[Droid Ultra General] sean67854:
Without any real standard as to what constitutes a "core" in the mobile space, as opposed to the PC world, I think it's important now that companies are starting to be "creative" with their marketing that we specifically call out what they are saying are cores, lest we be taken by surprise.
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
No, we know what cores are. They are CPU cores. The rest is just marketing gobledy-gook.

The iPhone 5s has two cores. It runs circles around a 4 core Samsung phone. Ignore the core BS.
[Droid Ultra General] Ace42:
From what I know the cores have a universal meaning, so it's unnecessary change it for mobile devices.
[Droid Ultra General] MrTweakers:
I feel that to be constituted as a core. It has to have the physical aspects of a core. If it doesn't it can be a digital processing unit. But a CPU and a GPU are physical cores.
[Droid Ultra General] inkdaddy66:
After reading the thread. I haven't seen any comparisons between the battery life. I REALLY like my DMaxx. I've been happy with performance from day one. I like the size of the maxx coming from the note 2. Perfect sized screen is 5.2 which the g2 is. I was curious about overall battery life.

What about durability, if dropped on concrete...which one will survive?
[Droid Ultra General] inkdaddy66:
I think both will have their issues. Especially due to the gorilla glass. Not a pretty sight either way

53N7 from my DMaxx V1A 7APA7ALK
[Droid Ultra General] redddog:
Honestly, any of these phones made of glass are going to shatter when dropped on concrete. If it doesn't, you got lucky. I think the weight of the Maxx may work against it but they all will shatter If left unprotected.
[Droid Ultra General] inkdaddy66:
True. I didn't even think about the weight. Shattering glass/screens is the reason that I buy either an otterbox commuter or defender for my devices.

Well I've dropped by HTC Thunderbolt about 80 times without a case...it always survived.

Thunderbolt with the extended battery is a pretty heavy phone.

The Tbolt was a handheld tank. I had an extended battery on mine too. I remember that weight for sure.

[Droid Ultra General] maxpower7:
The G2 has 4 CPU cores (Krait 400) and 4 GPU cores (Adreno 330). The Maxx (and Ultra, and X) has 2 CPU cores (Krait 300) and 4 GPU cores (Adreno 320). ALL phones have ancillary processors that handle other functions outside of the SOC. Just because Motorola plays them up in their marketing material doesn't mean that the hardware in other phones begins and ends with the CPU and GPU. I understand (and agree with) your argument that it makes little difference in day-to-day usage, but at least get your facts straight before you post.

Also, I ABSOLUTELY can tell the difference between a 720p display and a 1080p display at 5 inches. Do a side-by-side comparison of the Nexus 4 and the HTC One (both 4.7 inches) and tell me you don't notice a difference in resolution between the two phones. It doesn't make a huge difference in terms of usability, but I definitely appreciate the extra sharpness that 1080p brings. And I have human eyes :)
[Droid Ultra General] idenncsu:
Stuck as well

I'm stuck between these two phones as well. On the one hand, the G2 is simply a beautiful piece of hardware. It's fast, shiny, bright. On the other hand, my MAXX Dev Edition works really well, is clean, and has some features that I actually enjoy using (the Active Notifications and the Motorola Connect extension). Motorola Connect is the kind of thing you wouldn't think you would need or want until you have it. Now, I can't not have it. The MAXX is still a nice piece of hardware - it feels nice, the screen is perfectly acceptable to me and my corrective lenses, and the battery life is almost ridiculous. Since I'm paying $650 for the phone, I want to make sure I'm putting my money in the right place - and I really can't see that being the G2 at this point. As long as the camera gets updated and Motorola-Google keeps the software reasonably current, I could definitely see this being my phone for at least the next 6-8 months (which for me, is saying something).
[Droid Ultra General] inkdaddy66:
I'd love to test drive the G2 but I'm not willing to give up my DMaxx to do it.

[Droid Ultra General] crashN2u:
Me and my family have been Motorola owners since the first Droid. My last droid was the RAZR, my wife is still using the RAZR MAXX. I was holding out until Motorola released a great phone with a great camera. I was sorely disappointed by the MAXX. I've always loved Motorolas because of their minimalist approach to the UI and their higher than average build quality. Unfortunately, my RAZR was failing, and after checking out the MAXX, I wasn't willing to commit for 2 more years.

I chose the LG G2 with the camera being the hook. I was uncertain about the experience because I hate TouchWiz and Sense. I fully expected to root and strip the phone. After only 2 days with the phone, I'm considering not doing anything at all. After disabling settings I didn't want, the experience has been great.

the UI is unobtrusive and the features added were actually useful. In addition the themes and interface can be changed from color of keyboard to messaging background pictures.

One of the things that was drawing me to the MAXX was the voice control. Its been recently discovered that the ability is built into the s800, so sooner or later I'll receive that functionality. The phone already has settings to turn it on.

As for a battery comparison. I've only had 1 full charge so far, but I got down to 10% yesterday. It was off the charger for 13 1/2 hours. Screen on time was 5 1/2 hours, and I had an estimated 1 1/2 hours left at the same level of usage. I used it heavily while downloading, uploading, and setup. About half of that time was on LTE, GPS on, location services on, and screen at 100%. Don't know how that compares to the MAXX. Today, with moderate use, I,'ve been off the charger for 6 hours and I'm only down to 78%.

Even after only owning this Phone for a short time, I think I will be hard pressed to return to Motorola. They will have to release a killer phone.

My RAZR was built like a tank and has survived tons of accidents. It was so tough I used to show off and bet that I could launch it 10 feet in the air over asphalt or concrete. It never failed me. I will miss this build quality. Its been a long time since my heart stopped because I dropped my phone.

[Droid Ultra General] DaemonAshra:
Its always an easy choice when LG is involved. But I have some hate for LG that has tainted my view of their products. much like a Chevy house that will never buy Ford, I'll never have an LG product.
[Droid Ultra General] inkdaddy66:
Elaborate on why you wouldn't own LG, please.

53N7 from my DMaxx V1A 7APA7ALK
[Droid Ultra General] DaemonAshra:
I had a few LG phones in the past. In fact, I even posted on this site about my LG Optimus T getting an absurd amount of dust under the screen. Worked with T-Mobile and LG for almost 2 months trying to prove that this was a factory defect, buy got the runaround to the point that I got brick walled with the excuse "We have not had any reports about this and have no way of testing for it". That was a terrible time that cost me about $300 from buying the phone in the first place. few years later, I had a chance to buy a LG revolution for $80 from a friend and nabbed it since I didnt have another 4G phone at the time. Between the Bing crap, absolutely AWFUL UI of the phone that dragged no matter how much I tried to disable features and apps, and the immediate kick to the curb LG gave the phone (practically no updates at all), I just threw my hands up in the air and said F**k LG. There's a whole world of products out there that I can use. LG will not be on any of them.
[Droid Ultra General] inkdaddy66:
I've never owned an LG smartphone. The issues you talked about were eye opening. I'm glad I've never gone LG. It's one of the manufacturers that I've never bought. I wanted the G2 mainly because of the screen size. I had a note and 5.5" was too much. The maxx at 5" is great. 5.2" would be perfect. Too bad it's an LG. Based on reviews from fellow abusers. I really appreciate the feedback.

53N7 from my DMaxx V1A 7APA7ALK
[Droid Ultra General] DaemonAshra:
No Prob, and it really isn't a knock on the G2 at all. Its just the company's past business practices. I've seen twice now how they tend to take the "cut our losses and run" strategy over actually fixing any issues with a phone, whether that's in their customer service or development department. And if I hadn't gotten a Galaxy Nexus, I might have just gone away from Android altogether and went back to iPhone, but that phone was awesome.

crazy how just a little waste of time and money can sour an opinion.
[Droid Ultra General] inkdaddy66:
Despite the battery life on the nexus. It was the most fun I had with an android device in terms of flashing mods to ones content. I also have gone back and forth with apple products. The screens are just too small. But I'm glad you brought some light to my search. I know it sticks to waste your time and money but you can always pay it forward so no one else makes the same mistake. Just as you did for me. I'll gladly stick with my DMaxx

[Droid Ultra General] curly9:
I have a g2 and its great. It runs well and no issues at all. I have the vzw variant. Battery life is great. Can get 5 hours of screen on time if I tried and maybe more. Just never tried to kill the battery since its pretty tough on how I use it. I know how lg has been. They give up on their phones too soon. But the g2 is a great screen size that is still easy to hold on to with one hand.
[Droid Ultra General] TWong1200:
Just switched from a Maxx to a G2. Absolutely no regrets.

[Droid Ultra General] TWong1200:
Lots of development. Check the subforum out.
[Droid Ultra General] inkdaddy66:
Just my own good... That's probably not a good idea. Can you compare the battery life between the two?

53N7 FR0M M4 DMAXX V1A 7A9A7A7K
[Droid Ultra General] TWong1200:
I just got through a 19hr day with 4 hour screen time with plenty left. I didn't have good battery life with the Maxx. Perhaps I had wake lock issues. Not sure. Surely wasn't impressive to me.

Camera is miles better, too; as is the screen. I also prefer on-screen keys. Allows for lots of customization.
[Droid Ultra General] inkdaddy66:
Would you mind posting a screenshot of your battery usage? I'm curious to see them. My wife has an s4. Battery life is OK but I'd like to get her something that's gonna last her all day with no worries. She does not like Motorola devices at all. The droid X experience turned her away from Moto.

I've been using the Maxx since release and I have had the G2 for about 3 days now.

The G2 looks very very nice, the screen is notably better than the Maxx's which looks a bit cartoonish next the LG.

That said, at this moment I'm leaning heavily towards tossing the G2 up on ebay -- The battery life is NOT on par with the Maxx, despite what I have read and been told by people who should know (bloggers, etc).

The button setup is quite awkward, and the knock feature while useful is too inconsistent to make it entirely viable for me.

I really wanted to love the G2, and it does offer a lot, it even offers a lot over the Maxx (screen, speed, unlocked) -- but for me, as a daily driver I think I will have to hang on to the Maxx, even with its squeaky body, locked bootloader, goofy nav keys and somewhat lackluster design, I am afraid its the best option for me.
[Droid Ultra General] Brenardo:
I am a Motorola fan.

But I have owned several phones from many manufacturers and for me it all boils down to reception and data speeds. If you live in an area with weaker than average signal you will not be happy with anything other than a Motorola.

The G2 is LG's best attempt so far and it is a good device, just not for me.

I hate these threads. Buy WTF you want and be happy or sell it and get something different.
