er..evey phone I have owned I have had to turn on the BT manually before connection to the headset. If you use the Func+"->" key it is very easy to switch on/off the BT. I switch it own in the morning and switch it off at night.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] meanbiker:
ukspeedtraps ..... I've found that too. I thought it might have been a faulty Motorola BT Speaker that I'm usung with it. But maybe its not. I sometimes have to reset the XGA Exec before it will pair again.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Panabax:
Known issue

This is a known issue with the WM5 ROM (I had the same issue on an XDAII running WM5). The Universal is much better on battery life than my XDAII was. Obviously, a lot went into WM5 and the hardware to maximize battery life. However, when the unit goes into standby, the bluetooth eventually get's turned off (even though the blue light keeps flashing). This is a bug and will hopefully be corrected in a ROM update. If bluetooth staying on is important to you (it is to me) then go to the power settings and uncheck the box which turns the device off after so many minutes when on battery power. Your battery will drain faster (but still tolerable) and your Bluetooth will stay on. Hell, the bluetooth staying on may be what is draining the battery faster, if so, it's hard to complain. Anyway, your device will generally respond better and faster as a nice by product of not being turned off.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@Panabax, I didn't this was a problem. I assumed the blue light meant BT was working. I did, for another reason, uncheck the power off box in the Control Panel.

The number of problems with this device is just crazy.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Splatt!:
Do you really thinks so? I find the Exec as good if not better than any other 'First Release' device that I've had. WM5 is still buggy, well so is XP! No new device is ever free from odd glitches.

I have to say that other than a fault on my handset, that is now being replaced, the Exec is superb.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@Splatt, I know this is off topic but I have a Treo 650 and Nokia 9500 (and have had the Nokia 7710, SE P800, P900 & P910) and in comparison I do find that WM5 is more faulty. Just read all the problems people have had here and at www.clubimate.com - it is not good for such an expensive device (remember many people have paid the full SIM free price).

The BT problem discussed in this thread is a good example, I did not know about this problem and I only did not suffer because of a change I made. For a business user not be to be contactable, via BT, is unacceptable when my wife's FREE SE handset can run for 7 days (24 hours a day) and the BT works in the way it should.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] andy_bez_wandy:
its exactly the same for the time being with Blue Angel ...

with beta WM 5.0 installed, BT has been also turning off .... AFAIK its still problem of software, i.e. ROM version offered, hope future releases do solve that issue

[General Questions and Answers] DbzMihir:
Hi this is Mihir,

I am using Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM version and have rooted it , along with that i am using a custom rom by CrDroid built 12.

I am facing battery problem, along with some bugs.

From the time i installed the rom i am having battery drain problem. At night around 11:00 PM the battery was 99% (Fully charged) and when i got up in the morning (8:00 AM) the battery was 74%... I was shocked as previously when i was using other rom it hardly reached 94% but this was a drastic change. :( . I realize Jelly bean drains battery but when i was on stock rom it didnt .

It would be very helpful if some one could help me resolve the Problem :confused:

Hi,

Had the same problem a while ago when I installed cm. Battery life was awful. Batterycalibration did the trick for me. It erases the batterystats.Bin. You have to be fully charged before you do this.

If you have a battery remaining time indicator, It's not working correct the first unload cycle.

Good luck ;).

Ok this is really bothering me I use TB for my backups for my apps. When I flash a new Rom and I go to reinstall my apps they are not there because you have to do a full wipe when flashing a Rom so how can I flash a Rom and be able to reinstall my apps and games with the data with them. Like games I lose all my saved points
[LG Optimus G Pro] jimi_pooh:
Maybe I'm missing something but I back up my tb on my sd card so a full wipe only effects the internal storage.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jason504:
When I back up with tb it saves to my internal not my external card I have always used tb never any problems is there a way to back up to my external? So what I did last night is back up my game real racing 3 moved it to my external card flashed a Rom installed tb and it did not pick it up on my card moved back to internal card and it picked it up. So I restored it and all it restored was the app no data so I lost my cars and everything. So I went back to stock cause I made a back up and I have all my stuff but if I want to flash a Rom I will lose my game data
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
You have to go to preferences and set backup folder to external card. After flashing, reinstall TiBu. Do preferences again, detect whole device, select backup location, say use current folder and you should see your backups.

S-view is available for $ 60 at Samsung's official Web Site
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] richlum:
I got the S view cover today.

I looked at some of the copies in the other mobile shops, but the back and front were cheap plastic and the sview screen didn't work on the 2 cases I tried on my phone.

The official Samsung one is much nicer as it is leather like vinyl. The back feels much more like leather than the stock back cover (black for both covers).

Also, the sview screen is pretty cool. Can take photos, control music and answer calls without opening the cover.

It was 3 times the price of the copy covers, but worth it for the nicer material and working sview screen.

I can't find a straight answer. Why is aren't there any 4.2 Touchwiz roms? :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Cause Samsung didn't make one. Actually, 4.1.2 is more than likely all we'll officially get. I think they're done upgrading S2's....aside from perhaps the international version I read somewhere.

Thanks for answering my question though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JohnHorus:
Mainly because Samsung lost the suit against apple, so they've gone back to the drawing board in many ways. To continue investing in devices that led to them being sued would just not be financially intelligent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hops4r0m:
I really hate tw. I'd agree with others. I don't think Samsung it's going to be updating our phones anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knightandroid:
There will be no more updates for the Galaxy S2, I saw this confirmed not long ago, but I forget where.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HTCMDA:
You guys will have to excuse my stupidity, I just don't fully understand how the galaxy s3 has a factory touchwz 4.2.2 rom and the galaxy s2 doesn't. the specs aren't even drastically different. one has 2gb of ram and a higher resolution screen. both are 1.5ghz ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JoeGrimm:
$$$

If Samsung were to continue to update thier older phones no one would buy the new ones. It's all about money.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HTCMDA:
But with that logic, the s3 is OLDER than the s4, and yet it was updated AFTER the s4 was released....

the galaxy s2-plus (almost as old as the galaxy s2 itself) also has a 4.2.2 update as well. So, tell me more about this $$$ theory of yours :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Guys....its simple. Had Samsung not made 100 different S2 variations for some dumb reason, they would have updated us I'm sure. But as there's so many different models out there and the device is 2 generations behind.....they drew the update line in the sand. That's it.

Except the newer one I guess, and I heard the international one....yet to be seen.

That's electronic life. Very short support life span. At least with phones. Maybe if the phone builders didn't put out a new model every 8 months things would be different. But they just love milking the techy's that gotta always have the latest and greatest.

Plus....I agree with the $$$$$ reason too. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JoeGrimm:
the s2-plus came out after the s3(jan 2013), which was a really surprising move for samsung(but in my opinion it was just another way for them to rake in the cash). and pretty much all of the android phones will have ended up with at least 2 system updates from thier respective manufacturers. our phone actually got 3 system updates, it came with 2.3.6 went to 4.0.3 and then to 4.0.4 and now to 4.1.2, if our phone kept getting updates there would be no need to buy a new phone, so once again it all comes back down to they want to make more money. and in this world that is all that any successful company is going to do, try and get you to buy there next new product(even if it means that they have to stop updating a perfectly good device to do it). If they didn't, they wouldn't succeed as a business.

In short our phone is not going to get an official 4.2.2 update because samsung wants you to buy a new phone so that they continue to make more $$$.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HTCMDA:
buy a new phone.. ok, buy an S3 (which is NOT NEW) BOOM 4.2.2 update. and that works out good for who? Especially if you buy one 2nd hand, does samsung make 2nd hand money? nope. I get the whole it's all about money thing, but apparently nobody gets what I'm trying to say. IF those old, non new phones have it....why not this one. It's old, not new, similar specs. Oh well, If I knew how I'd make my own TW 4.2.2 build lol

Hey Guys few days back ordered my moto X from eBay for $395 I live in India the seller said it will work with Indian GSM networks so I'm ordered but surprisingly when I received the phone when I inserted sim card it was showing invalid sim card... And im not getting signal I'm checked with network setting s it's only showing two options LTE/CDMA AND CDMA there is no GSM Option I can't get refund to as I'm confirmed receipt on ebay so guys is there anyway to enable GSM ON This X. Help will be great full waiting for your valuable replies
[Moto X Q&A] finalarcadia:
That's a CDMA phone so it shouldn't work with GSM. That's why it's cheaper on ebay.

Maybe you'll get lucky and it has the GSM radios in hardware and they could be unlocked somehow.
[Moto X Q&A] samarth1:
You're out of luck, the US Cellular Moto X is a CDMA variant, and doesn't have the GSM bands to work on Indian networks. Let me ask you, when you're paying that much money, why didn't you take the time to do your homework? A simple visit to motorola.com would've answered this question for you. I'm not sure why anyone would trust an eBay listing blindly, especially when getting it shipped to a different country than where the phone is being sold. For future reference, always buy phones that are either factory unlocked and unbranded, or have support for AT&T or T-mobile in the US. Those are the only two carrier-branded phones you should be buying for use in India.

Sorry to say this, but you should've done a better job before putting money down like that.

I have rooted my Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3, mainly so I can tether. However, upon installing Wifi Tether (I tried regular as well as TrevE Mod), and entering the usual settings, I found that it does not work with this phone. Does anyone know of a way to use wifi tethering on this phone? Is TrevE going to update his app to work with the Note 3? Developers, if you are seeing this, such an app would be greatly appreciated.

The only real caveat at the moment seems to be there is no odex version so must be running a deodex rom.

Confirming this works great, for both stock odex and deodex. You need to be on M15 update to work though, I personally was rooted on M13 and had to use Wanam xposed to get an OTA update and root again, but it's working great. Also requires recovery to flash non-signed zip, or you can manually move the files over using a root browser and reboot (I did this).
