I am running Pac Rom 10/8 and every few hours I'll get a black screen when trying to turn the screen on and I am forced to hard reboot the phone. Anyone else having this problem? I want to know if it is a common problem with 4.3 roms since I never had this happen when I was running ZVC. I even clean installed 10/8 and didn't dirty flash to update it.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glycopoo:
Love this phone. No real issues. One small issue, and I'm not sure why it's doing this...I bought a Z1 imported to USA, looks like it came from Hong Kong. Every time I power down and then turn on again, it asks me to select the language (defaults to Chinese). Anyone else experiencing this? Any fix? Only minor issue really, but would like to fix if possible.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoosterNote:
I'm a former iphone user that just picked up the Note 2 (on Rogers, model SGH-1317M) to use as a digital sketchbook. I rather enjoyed my iphone, but I was intrigued by some of the drawings i had seen created on the Note 2. So far, from my initial experience with the Note 2 i'm happy with the results using Sketchbook Express, and the free version of Infinite Painter (although infinite painter also seems VERY buggy).

So now i want to take the next step and install the tablet versions of Sketchbook Pro, Sketchbook Ink and Photoshop Touch. From what i understand i need to root my device to do this. I do not have an android tablet (i have an ipad which i''m happy with) so I can not side-load these apps. Is my only recourse to DL the apps from a torrent (or other similar source) or is there a way to get it from the developer? I read something about using the amazon marketplace to DL apps?

Since it seems I'm going to have to root my Note 2 is there instructions to do it via a mac? (yes, i'm an apple guy) or would it be safer to seek out a friend with a PC? Is there any custom ROMs that people would recommend? Keep in mind my primary concern is drawing so these custom ROMs should not affect the S pen functionality.

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3ADM4N:
Hey there! I Don't know how much help this will be but my note 2 is rooted with the jedi master ROM and it has no effect on the S pen. I have sketchbook pro installed and it works very well.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoosterNote:
thanks. what are the benefits of using the Jedi Master ROM? Any particular reason you went with that ROM over others out there?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3ADM4N:
Not really. I'm a die hard star wars fan so that's what drew to it and I have no complaints about it. I think mine is jedi master 12, not sure. I would recommend the work of deviant development though, they are the ones responsible for the jedi master roms and they are good at what they do.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoosterNote:
I guess that's as good a reason as any :) . i'll have to look into that developers work. I'll have to research other ROMs and decide what's best for myself.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Its best to use a PC to root your device using ODIN. There are many methods to go about using sketching apps in tablet mod. My best approach would be to either try out a ROM that supports tablet mod such as Moon ROM or switch to AOSP based ROM such as ProBAM as you won't have any issues reducing the DPI. Also with aosp, just like touchwiz, you can fully use the spen along with its pressure sensitivities. I use sketchbook mobile running on ProBam and it works perfectly.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoosterNote:
Thanks for the reply. Can you clarify if you're running sketchbook Pro rather than mobile? I'm not sure if it was just a mistake in your post. Mobile will run on phones no problem, it's the pro version that I'm looking to get onto the note. I'm also looking to get the sketchbook Ink app and tablet Photoshop touch app onto it.

If the ROM I place on the note supports tablet mode will I be able to download tablet apps directly from the play store? Or do I still have to try to sideload them?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] kamunds:
The 4.3 update of my HTC One got 2.8MB downloaded and then stopped. I let it sit for a couple hours and it didn't change at all. I tried several things to "kick" it into motion, but nothing worked (turning on/off data, etc.).

In a desparate attempt to get it to continue, I restarted my phone (bad choice, I see). Now, when I touch "Check for updates" on the "AT&T software update" screen, it doesn't do anything. No dialogs -- nothing.

Is there a way I can clear out the partial download and reset the state of that process and trigger it to start again?

Thanks for any help!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] TriumphGuy:
Mine did the same thing. What I found is that it needs Wifi to complete the download. If you restart the phone and let it see Wifi, it should resume the download without any interaction from the user.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rahtrip:
Try this

1. I disabled Power Saver Mode and all the options obviously

2. I turned off the option in the Settings --> Power --> Turned off the sleep mode where the data connection gets cut off during long periods of inactivity after the screen is off

3. Went to Settings --> Wifi --> Advanced and then turned on the option for best WiFi performance

4. Set the screen time out to 10 minutes, try to keep the screen from timing out just in case and dont use your phone while it is downloading

5. Powercycled my Router and Modem

6. Restarted the Phone and tried to update then!

GOODLUCK!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] kamunds:
This was exactly the issue! I actually didn't need to restart the phone though. I just enabled WiFi and the download resumed.

Perfect. Thank you soooo much!

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] eeadams33:
A different twist for me...

I'm experiencing a similar issue, but with a twist...

After what looked like a successful DL of the OTA 4.3 OS Update on my AT&T HTC One, the actual update never kicked off.

Now when I touch "Check for updates" on the "AT&T software update" screen, it doesn't do anything. You can see the button move, but you get no response, No dialog, Nothing....

Is there a way I can kick off the DL'ed update file or clear out the [possibly corupted?] download and reset the state of that process and trigger it to start again?

The DL happened Thurs Oct 10th 9AM.. I had a similar type hiccup the last Maintenance Update that AT&T / HTC sent out, and waiting 24 hrs cured that... But, as of now, more than 24 hrs later, No Joy!!

Anyone out there have a fix??

Please Advise.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] smokinmoses:
Try disabling fastboot and restarting your phone. Mine kinda did that on the maintenance update. Hope it works for you..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] eeadams33:
Sadly, that did not work for me...

I spoke with the AT&T Support folks and they have indicated that the only way to resolve this issue is to do a Factory Reset.... Ugghh!!

I'm backing up my phone now and seriously thinking of doing just that.. Can anyone talk me off that ledge??
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] eeadams33:
Much Joy!!

So, being the patient kind of guy I am, I fought back the urge to do a Master Reset, as the good folks @ AT&T told me was the only way to remedy my issue, and instead slept on it....

Lo and behold, 48hrs after the initial failed DL / No Upgrade, I got the "Update available for my Device" pop-up... The DL was a bit faster, at the end the Upgrade kicked off as expected, and all is well...

Patience is one of the most important tools you can keep in your bag-o'-tricks... Good luck to all out there...
[Themer General Discussion] chrisosaur:
Started getting down and dirty with Themer last night from a designer's standpoint. I know some of these issues can be solved by theming the majority on my home pc, but i wanted to point out some things that are missing that would make pure mobile theming possible/easier (that's what i want out of this or any theming apps. i can easily create the majority of my themes on a pc when going the apex/nova route, but i want to theme strictly on my phone which is what i assume is the main point/appeal of launchers like Themer).

OK, here they are:

1) Icons - I'd like to have control over my icons while theming. Even giving us an option to select from Themer's icons would be nice. As it currently stands, you have to choose icon images from and only from your photo gallery. If we can't import custom icon packs, the ability to select from Themer's icons would be great.

2) Everything Widget "Layers" - This is a great feature, but can be polished. I tried to edit some existing widgets (google play theme, wanted to put my own image/slideshow instead of the random google banner images) and once i put the new image up it covered up the "google now" search bar. There are currently no options or toggles to change layers in the widgets.

3) Layout Issues - When i am working on putting up new widgets the orientation is all wacky. Sometimes it'll stagger the widget grid onto the left or right page, meaning that it isn't centered on the screen i'm working on. makes aligning and tweaking the layout really tough.

That's all i've got now. Any fixes or suggestions are welcome, but i thought it'd be helpful to roll up some of the issues we as themers are having. I REALLY love being able to just throw a new theme on my phone at any given time and the available themes are all nice looking and pretty tight when it comes to performance....i just can't help but adjust and tweak once i get my hands on them >.<

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPlNK:
I just got this unlocked verizon g2 and am using it on att, I can't get lte but I was seeing if there's a way to enable aws on it? I really like this phone but this slow data is killing me
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
AT&T doesn't use AWS, except in very very VERY few areas, and only for LTE. They use 700 MHz. Verizon uses 750 MHz.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darabo:
But Verizon is starting to activate their AWS spectrum in "major metropolitan areas" but there are conflicting reports in regards to the Verizon variant of the G2 and AWS.

Especially since most recent Verizon LTE phones can access the spectrum yet it hasn't been confirmed for the G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
Do you understand what AWS is though? It's just 1700/2100 MHz together. AT&T doesn't use it (except as I said in like less than 1% of their LTE areas). AT&T uses 850/1900 MHz for HSPA+ ("4G") and 700 MHz for LTE (which Verizon devices don't do).

AWS is what T-Mobile uses for LTE though, so you'd be able to get T-Mobile's LTE out of the box.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPlNK:
But lemme get one thing straight, can the phones run at these frequencies if a different modem flashed or what? Anyway this isnt going to be an issue for me because im buying an att variant and selling my Verizon variant
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
No, it's more than just the modem file. Like you said, just go and buy the AT&T (or T-Mobile) version. The T-Mobile version will work on AT&T fully as well.

Sent from my SGH-I337
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPlNK:
Than its different hardware?

Also, T-Mobile variant will work on AT&T LTE?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPlNK:
Bump

Need to know if tmobile variant will work on att lte out of box, about to go meet up with someone who has one and id rather not waste anyone's time..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
I posted before that, yes, a T-Mobile device will fully work on AT&T with LTE and everything. If you don't have LTE on it when you put the SIM in, call up AT&T and tell them to turn on LTE on your account (if you've never had an LTE device on your AT&T account before).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPlNK:
Ive had lte phones since they came out, i just havent seen anything about it but you saying itll work. I just dont want to be stuck in the same position i am now with this Verizon phone
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
T-Mobile devices are the same as AT&T devices; the only thing different is that they

also

support T-Mobile's 4G (which uses AWS) where as AT&T devices don't. I promise you it'll work. Just make sure you ask the buyer for a receipt to prove that he paid for the phone in full; you might end up with a device that gets blacklisted because the buyer decides not to pay for the phone/his bill in full.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casiouser:
So, is the Verizon G2 AWS capable?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
Only for LTE. It won't get LTE on AT&T but it will on T-Mobile.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
I don't get why people still think they can just bring a Verizon LTE phone to ATT OR ATT LTE to Sprint or Sprint LTE to Tmobile, etc. It is pretty ridiculous that most people don't understand how cell phones work and never look at the frequencies that are supported on the phone.

About Verizon AWS LTE...Verizon has said that they are only deploying 5,000 AWS LTE towers by the end of this year and willing be adding more sites in 2014. You think 5,000 LTE sites is a lot considering that Verizon's network comprises of 45,000 towers. Let me tell you it isn't considering that is only about 1/9 of the total towers spread out nationwide. You'll be lucky to get a stable LTE connection if you only have LTE BC 4 support considering the shorter range propagation characteristics of AWS spectrum. Anyone thinking of bringing over their Tmobile LTE phones to Verizon better think twice before doing that assuming they will get the same LTE range and coverage as its 700 MHz LTE network.

To me it is always easier to just sell the LTE phone that I am no longer a carrier with and buy the carrier branded LTE phone to avoid all this hassle of unlocking it and having to worry about frequency incompatibilities.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPlNK:
Verizon and att share an aws band. I know about phones, im not dumb. I was just exploring the possibility of it being achieved. If the phones have exactly same hardware across the board, than it means its software related, which in the android world, with alot of trial and error and work, most software issues can be overcome. Thanks for your huge rant though, you should go work for Verizon
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
Dude. I know everything there is to know about this. AT&T uses AWS LTE in VERY VERY VERY few areas. You won't be able to get LTE with your Verizon G2 on 99% of their network.

Hello to every1 ......

I am new to all this bt trying

Well can to tell me what is kernel,its functions, advantages of upgrading it, some popular names for beginners like me
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
Think about kernel as the brain of the OS. Upgrading it is not all that simple, as kernels are not universal. For example we have Badass kernel for ICS and JB, but if you put it on GB, it won't work. Custom kernels are usually giving a bit more performance, but worse battery life depending on settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Masrepus:
Also another thing about performance, maybe u already tried out some overclocking app. What u will see is, that u are only able to get at maximum the standard clock of 600MHz. Now if u got a custom kernel and take those apps again, u will see alot more available frequencies above 600MHz, for ex. 756MHz. This is another great feature of custom kernels

becouse that did not quite work out, i flashed the stock kernel on it again, and wanted eveything back to stock. but now when i open some apps they wont allow me anything becouse i do not have the original firmware etc on it....

I also cannot do software update becouse it says im running something custom,

The post from start to finish reads as you have flashed firmware for another model on the phone .Apps have nothing to do with original firmware .

Stock 4.3 ????>>>>> not a Samsung firmware .

bartely use any apps becouse im on a "custom firmaware

>>>>Apps work on custom firmware unless you are trying to run Samsung apps on non Samsung based custom roms .

Start at the beginning what model phone do you have as per the label under the battery .

If I9300 then remove ext sd card and flash a proper Samsung stock rom through Odin . You should then be able to flash Philz recovery .

Boot to recovery mounts and storage format sd card system data cache and preload .

So this was how i got onecall to work properly, in case there's other Norwegians with the same problem.

___________

In areas where my provider doesn't have reception it uses another provider. My phone then shows that it's roaming and that it has data connection, but in reality it doesn't, i can't access the net. Roaming is activated, the apn of my provider is setup correctly. My provider uses 2g and 3g, the other provider uses 4g as well. When the issue appears it doesn't help to turn on and off airplane mode, doesn't help to turn off and on obile data or to reboot the phone. The problem appears no matter if I choose the other providers network manually or let the phone do it automatically. I tried every possible setting in elixir2 regarding "preferred connection speed - 2g only, 3g onlyn 2g or 3g or 4g and so on.

Anyone with a similar issue on this or a different phone and a possible solution?
