[Sony Smartwatch] Trahald:
Thanks for answer. Actually I have bought metal strap version from Amazon.co.uk 3 weeks ago. For me, it is not heavy at all. I am used to wear Diesel brand ceramic strap watches and they are much way heavier than this watch. Overall, I am happy with my watch :)
[Sony Smartwatch] Dusty Rhodes:
I just got my new metal band. I had the OEM Sony band but it was a link or two too small. This one fits GREAT and looks awesome. It's the 24mm type ii engineer band from Strapcode. I sold my metal Sony band for $100 on eBay.

I've gotten A LOT of compliments so far.

I hope everyone can see the picture!
[Sony Smartwatch] bewA:
Very nice!!
[Sony Smartwatch] IxBUSTERxI:
WHAAAAT?

100 Bucks? (^_-)

However, this is a really nice strap you have there!!
[Sony Smartwatch] Dusty Rhodes:
Thanks! Yep... $100.

You can't buy the OEM Sony metal bands anywhere. A lot of people purchased the rubber versions with the expectation of being able to pick up a metal band on the cheap. But, they soon learned that a GOOD 24mm metal band is pricey. The closest you can get to the OEM band is the Strapcode Bandolier model #SS242413BBK027 which sells for $190. I got mine for $150, well $50 if you subtract what I sold my OEM band for.
[Sony Smartwatch] IxBUSTERxI:
Wow. I definitely did not expect this. I mean that's half the price of the watch ^o^

I bet that rubber band isn't worth a dime.

​

This app allows you to easily change your PRL on the Sprint Galaxy Note III (and potentially other devices as well) WITHOUT root! It will call Samsung's hidden menu with the press of a button - no more having to type out things manually using other apps!

This might work on other Samsung devices on various carriers, try at your own risk! If it does work, please contact me and let me know what other devices this works with.

If you like this app, please consider the donate version! I will be bringing some cool features to the donate version!

Just a reminder, everyone - you must be on a TouchWiz ROM! Stock will definitely work, can't promise that a custom ROM didn't remove the app that PRL Helper needs to open. AOSP ROMs (CyanogenMod, AOKP, etc) will NOT work!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jspsuperman:
[MENTION=498360]Viperboy[/MENTION], do you think you can create a roam control like app? I paid for roam control a few years ago and i have doubts about it being updated. I would be more than willing to pay for said app :D as ive already donated to your awesome prl app :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] -viperboy-:
Well thanks! But, to be honest, I don't think I have enough skill for that yet. However, on HTCs, devs always modify the phone software to include a roam only option, I assume they'd be able to do something similar on the Samsung's.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] seoulbrova:
so we load the PRLs that we want and then can switch to the one we want.

to go back to "stock" do we just update PRL under the normal phone settings?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quirell:
I had used cm 10.1 for a year and one day I decided to flash slimbean 4.3 weekly 1.4. So I downloaded bootloader Z20i.zip and radio .84.zip and flashed via TWRP 2.6.3.0 and then wiped everything, flashed rom then gapps. I used the original kernel of rom. Everything seem to be fine and flawless. but one day my phone hanged and rebooted itself stucked at bootanimation. I tried to restart many times and it didnt success. So I decided to download factory image JWR66Y from google and run flash-all.bat via fastboot mode and then flash superSU via TWRP. Yeah..bootloop was gone. I used stock JWR66Y rom and kernel with root for a while and it happened again. One day my phone hanged and rebooted itself stucked at X animation. I tried to Wipe cache, davik, factory reset but it didnot success. So I tried to install cm10.2, PA3.99 (I have had installation zip file in my phone storage.) but it didnot sucess too. So I decided to flash stock Stock 4.2.2 JDQ39 image from google. thanks God my phone resurrected. But I dont want 4.2.2 anymore. I decide to try again with 4.3 stock JWR66Y. It happened bootloop same as above I described again. I have no idea anymore but I tried flash radio.48 via fastboot and finally my phone can use normally. Bootloop was gone away. Now I use Slimbean 4.3 weekly 1.6 original kernel with bootloader z20i and radio .48 without any bootloop.

So I think the problem for me is why radio .84 make my phone got bootloop.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rekursion:
I have the same exact problem! :crying:

Cannot update beyond 4.2.2. I have tried all the things that you seem to have tried but with absolutely no luck. And since there aren't many people with this problem, nobody has come up with a solution. It is extremely frustrating to see everyone else updating to to the latest firmware while we have to make do with the ancient 4.2.2

If anybody can think of anything which might help, please go ahead and share.(Cannot return the phone back to Google as I got it from another country)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoantho:
Hi,

I just fixed a Nexus 4 with broken screen and fastboot flashed the latest 4.4.2 official ROM but I was stuck in bootloop on the 4 circles.

Then I flashed the 4.2.2 version and everything worked until I accepted the the 4.3 update (official OTA) and the phone was bootlooping again.

Then I found your posts and downgraded the radio .84 to .48 and android 4.3 finally booted successfully.

BUT, when trying to upgrade to 4.4 (from 4.3 with official OTA), I'm stuck again! And downgrading radio .97 to .48 does not work anymore...

I've found nothing like a software fix until now. People facing the same issues are mostly getting some replacement devices. Given that I replaced the screen myself, I'm not certain that they would give me a new one.

Any feedback from someone having the same issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richie16171:
Yes.., I am joining your club. I have a same problem. I flashed 4.4 & 4.4.2 .., almost all sources and ended with four circle boot loop. Then flashed 4.2.2 and it was success. Did you people managed to flash Kit Kat ? Please anyone help us.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richie16171:
You mean to say.,,you could flash 4.3 and your only problem to update kit kat.., because of the proximity sensor?:confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoantho:
Well, I meant I could get 4.3 to work after downgrading the radio file (baseband) to its previous version, otherwise I was stuck in bootloop in 4.3 already.

But I couldn't do the same operation after flashing 4.4 : even downgrading the radio to a previous version didn't get 4.4 to work.

Once I reconnected the proximity sensor, I could use any radio and was able to update from 4.2 to 4.3 and 4.4 or directly flashing the latest.

You can use the Androsensors app to see if your light and proximity sensors are working properly, the displayed values should change all the time. If they are not changing or if there is no value displayed, it means that your sensors are not working properly

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Handsome Rob:
Hey all, wondering if anybody has any ideas.

G/F has an HTC One S and asked me to set up her work email for her with their approval. They sent me server info, etc so no big deal.

Get the usual popup about exchange security credentials, they're a little heavy handed encrypting the SD card and requiring PIN but pressed OK.

Went back to email, nothing downloaded and says need to update password that I know is correct. Thought, interesting, I'll just re-add the account. Removed it, removed the admin, cleared credentials and reboot.

On reboot it asks for lock screen pin. Go in, can't remove that. Now just focused on getting back to beginning. Re-add and remove account, can't get lock screen off. On next reboot I'm greeted with "Damaged phone storage..."

Wondering if this is encryption? Or did it kill the SD cards? Best practices or anything at all that I can do to try and recover pics before wiping?

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] vishjoshi:
Hello People,

I am planning to devlop an android application for my website. Can Anyone tell me how to give a connectivity to an JAVA or C# based application with my website..???
[Frameworks] thone:
I have had this app idea for some time now and for it to be optimally used, it would have to be able to work simultaneously with iTunes. This will be kind of hard to explain but I will do my best.

I'll try to use a real instance to make it clearer. So I have my iPhone that plays my music on the "Music" app that comes with all iPhones. Let's say I am playing a song. Could I have this song connect directly to another app's functionality? Essentially could an app have the ability to pick up the music that you are playing from your "Music" app?

I can tell it's a little unclear, in part because I don't want to delve too deep into what my app idea is all about. If there are any questions please let me know and I'll try to clarify.

Thanks!

What do you think about the Nexus 5 coming to Verizon

Serious thread

Will update with some sources of speculation as they roll in

Funny read on Nexus 5 rumors on droid-life:

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/08/so-many-ridiculous-nexus-5-rumors-today/

According to CNET it will have Verizon support:

http://reviews.cnet.com/google-nexus-5/

Verizon Forums with some thoughts on the Nexus 5:

https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/1004704
[Nexus 5 General] kirdroid:
It won't come to the useless CDMA carrier. They are happy with their ugly verizon logo branded phones.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
VZW is a skank. You should ditch that skank.
[Nexus 5 General] stefan.buddle:
Swerve, I don't have Verizon....
[Nexus 5 General] Div033:
I want it to happen really bad but I know it probably won't. Verizon will never let Google have the software control they need because CDMA.

I really wish I didn't have unlimited data. Otherwise I'd pick a new carrier.
[Nexus 5 General] techfanatic9:
If it comes to Verizon their going to screw it up somehow, someway!!:crying:
[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
My prediction is it'll come compatible with Verizon's network, but Verizon will refuse to activate it and beat around the bush about why they won't, when they are obviously trying to find a way that they can install bloatware or otherwise screw with the device.

Just look what happened when deb came out.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
Naw..you mean JUST like they're doing on the Nexus 7 LTE tablet!?! :P
[Nexus 5 General] Hand76:
I would love to stay with Verizon. They are great at my job plus I get a work discount and I have unlimited data...With that said after the way they have handled recent big phones (like the HTC One) if they don't get the Nexus 5 (which they probably won't) I am out of here.
[Nexus 5 General] stefan.buddle:
Yup I dont see it happening at all
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Well, a device without Verizon Navigator is not much of a device at all. They are just looking out for their customers and want to give them the best experience that they can.

/sarcasm
[Nexus 5 General] zandander:
I REALLY want it to come to verizon.. The only reason why I'm still with vzw is because its either them, Alltel, or Southern Linc. And as ****ty as it is, vzw is the best of those :/

My gnex is getting old and tired and I would relaly like to replace it with the N5. But time will tell. I'm not very optimistic though...
[Nexus 5 General] eksasol:
I know this will be a bit selfish, but I hope it won't come to Verizon. They messed everything up, will remove Google Wallet, add their own bloatwares and giant ugly logos, not to mention 6months late updates, it will give a bad reputation to the Nexus brand.

However what I wouldn't mind is if Google work with Verizon and Sprint to make a CDMA device but with pure and unadulterated Android without the firmware being messed with, although Verizon would not agree to that, they need to put in CarrierIQ and what not.
[Nexus 5 General] mg2195:
According to leaks....nexus 5 is already compatible with CDMA....at least from what ive read....the issue is that verizon wont let you activate/use it...again from what ive read
[Nexus 5 General] zandander:
I think that it's compatible with CDMA, just not Verizon's CDMA. Something about it skips over the 800 band in CDMA. If I recall correctly anyways.
[Nexus 5 General] CBMC:
Wonder why CNET assume it's coming to Verizon?
[Nexus 5 General] eksasol:
I wonder why anyone still read or trust CNET.
[Nexus 5 General] CBMC:
Yeah. The author probably saw cdma bands in the fcc filing and assumed that meant Verizon(not realizing that they were not Verizon bands) . I really doubt that this writer has some inside information about the phone coming to Verizon.
[Nexus 5 General] BamAlmighty:
Screw Verizon and its users. Yes, Verizon has a great network, but NO it's not worth getting raped by them and having to use their locked down hacked phones and over priced plans.

Verizon and AT&T are the big brothers of the cell industry, their mentality of "You will take what we give you and like it." is killing it for consumers. Yeah T-Mobile and Sprint has worse networks, but the more people that move to them will show the giants they can't operate like that.
[Nexus 5 General] zandander:
I would drop Verizon in a heartbeat if I could. Paying for a single line with 1gb of data and it's right at 100 bucks. And that's with my 17% discount through work! But, I can't drop Verizon... It's either them or alltel for my area...
