[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osiris010:
I'm on at&t as well and from what I have researched they're one of the few carriers who supports carrier iq. Bunch of pricks if you ask me. This program literally hinders one's phone and service in more than one way, what's the point of having this amazing 3000 mah battery if their malware program destroys it in more than half the time the battery should be lasting? I don't understand,but I digress...

I've been doing this for the time being and it does seem to help. I restart my phone after every full recharge and stop the iq agent process. So far since I've been doing this my battery life is lasting longer and I've only noticed GPS turning itself on twice in that past two days (much better then before!). Also Android System is back below my screen usage percentage, albeit still coming in second to screen usage. My battery lasted 13 hours today with mild usage while at work and then heavy data usage at night (YouTube streaming for about 2 hours) plus local music and other miscellaneous internet usage. Screen time of 3 hours at 35% total battery usage, android system 17% total battery usage and I'm happy to day GPS run time of only three minutes!

I am content with this for now however I do plan on rooting so I can totally remove carrier iq, and I recommend others with this issue do the same if you value your battery life, privacy and sanity (lol). I also plan on giving at&t a (very polite and respectful) piece of my mind on the issue, usage and ethics of carrier iq. I'll report back with updates or if anything else interesting happens.

EDIT

I did install the app Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector and although yesterday it told me Carrier IQ is present but appears to be disabled, today it's saying it's present and active with a detection score of 270 (lower is better). No idea what the score means but it doesn't sound too great. Also not really sure why it is active since I have stopped the process and didn't do anything different from yesterday (when it said it was disabled]. Either way, figured I'd include that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shuthefrontdoor:
I disabled carrier iq using system tuner and now my gps NEVER turns on unless i turn it on, and i noticed a huge difference in battery life for the better. Just another great reason to root!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NevetsDrassel:
Disable "Android System" that Carrier IQ resided in. Carrier IQ will then be shut down completely.

There are 7 system files related to Carrier IQ and I suspect that some are residing in the "Android System", but they are not visible.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] currentsupply:
Yeah, my problem exactly.

Android system runs at 50% battery use, while the screen is at second at around 20%.

GPS and Location Detection is constantly on, even though I keep turning it off. This is total bull****.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] B1RDMAN:
When I rooted my phone apps started requesting su privileges, the vzw protect app was one of them. I accidentally allowed it su privileges and now it says "Software on this device has been modified". I went right to su and denied it but it still asks for them. I have uninstalled and reinstalled with denied privileges but still says that it's been modified. Anyone know how to change this? Is it going to show that my phone has been modified on verizon end?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
If you were to take it in they would know it was rooted. Im going out on a limb and guessing they dont store that info remotely. If you had to take it back for warranty problems you could always odin back to stock and it would be like it was never rooted.

[Moto X Q&A] AustinKargl:
Hello, I hope I'm in the right section. I have a Verizon Motorola Moto X, and I love the phone, but I have a concern. Whenever I send or receive group messages, the initial message seems to include everyone that it pertains to. Once someone sends a message, they are moved to their own conversation with just myself. This is with the stock messaging application. Is anyone else having this issue or have been aware of it? I would simply like a way to fix it without another SMS client. Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] mkinney88:
do you have group messaging enabled under settings in the message app.
[Moto X Q&A] AustinKargl:
Yes, I do. I have checked and unchecked it as well.
[Moto X Q&A] ecMode:
Mine operates as you would expect. Perhaps the sender is the culprit here?
[Moto X Q&A] beelbeel:
Did you ever figure this out?

Every thread seems to suggest that the other people in your conversation are the problem. When I had my iphone 4s (4 days ago), this was never ever a problem with the same people.
[Moto X Q&A] TWong1200:
Same problem here. Seems as though users from other carriers group fine. Group texts from another Verizon user comes individually. Really odd
[Moto X Q&A] thedude59:
I think I found out hats going on, its people with Samsung Galaxy's are the culprit, but when I flashed the eclipse blur ROM with the bubble MMS it fixes the problem, I hope vzw fixes this aoon

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] oaliaso:
Running flex's SwG 2.06. A few times since migrating to 4.3 my device has "shutdown" where it goes from launcher to an htc screen like when you power off/reboot the device. Earlier I let it sit like that for 5+ minutes as I packed my bag to hit the road and went down to my car. Still at the same screen when I got to my car. Had to manually power off and back on by holding the power button till it turned off.

I don't know if it's 4.3, rom or app related. Is there something I can run that wont destroy my battery that'll log or something to give me anything to diagnose my issue? I don't seem to have any abnormal battery usage... I think...

Thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrlakadaddy:
Download alogcat from the playstore, or rewipe and reflash.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] oaliaso:
Not sure whats up.

It happened 2 or 3 times in 48hours early on but hasn't happened since my OP. I'll get alogcat tho regardless Thanks

When I put the device in the craddle, ActiveSync kicks in and automatically syncs the device with outlook. When I remove it from the craddle, the two arrows (ActiveSync status icon) in the device notification area (top) stays the same and if I go to the ActiveSync application in the device, it thinks it is still connected. Is there a solution for this?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] odie3:
After reflashing my device with V3 I see the same thing. If I power off and then on the PDA, ActiveSync kicks off [I hear the disconnect beep].

Also having an issue with the PDA staying connected to the PC. The PDA "thinks" it's connected but ActiveSync on the PC says not connected.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] KTamas:
I had that too, the device itself still thinks it is connected...but after a few menutes it "disconnects". Or just do a soft reset.

Hi use the wondershare mobile go for android. Use the pc version as my mac version did not work. it connects to your watch. It connects to the playstore for direct downloads.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achiquitachaser:
I'll start out that I'm new to android, been an avid blackberry user that just purchased my note 2. I followed the casual root application, and unlocked and rooted my device. I went to install cm 10.2 mod on my device after wiping the device in development mode then proceeded to install from sdcard and it failed. Now my device will not respond to either download mode or development mode or power on in any way (including using a charger and removing and replacing the battery). I'm kind of stuck and not sure how to approach the correct solution to get my device back up and running. I did make sure that the cm mod I downloaded was for my specific device. Is it possible that maybe the root/unlock method failed and thats where I went wrong when installing the cm mod? I also get no response when the device is plugged into my pc. So its not being read by odin currrently.

Since it appears I have hard bricked my device, not quite sure what steps I can do to recover. I get no power to the device in any situation, I've read online about jtag, if anyone could point me in a direction it would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achiquitachaser:
Sorry forgot to mention this was a verizon branded note 2
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achiquitachaser:
I guess no one has an idea of where to go with this now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangalaxy:
connecting to pc does your note responds or pc shoes something

remove your battery connect to pc and go to download mode by pressing the button combo if odin shows a port

and you are connected then you are saved if not I guess its tym for service center

anyways try

P.S be sure that you have latest drivers installed on pc and use the original usb cable for conecting
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achiquitachaser:
Thanks for the reply sangalaxy, like I mentioned the phone does not respond at all for download mode, not recognized by Odin or showing any power when connected to a charger. Hence why I was thinking its hard bricked.

I'm not sure if I can send it to samsung, since I bought the phone off craigslist.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangalaxy:
yea sometimes it will not recognize anything and will not show on screen but will work silently

did you tried connecting it to pc without battery as I said and go to download mode by pressing buttons may be odin will recognize

if not you don't have any choice but go to samsung
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] achiquitachaser:
Your right I didn't fully read your post to try those instructions, unfortunately it didn't work but thank you for the help. It is definitely appreciated. I think I have found someone off eBay with a good reputation for jtagging android devices that might be a solution.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangalaxy:
ok friend hope it gets fixed
[Moto X Q&A] DoogieDC:
... what the hell is a nano-SIM? Is this some advanced Apple technology?

How did I manage to read over ten reviews of the this phone on major tech sites and not one mentioned that it takes a special SIM card? So, here I sit with a new phone and no way to use it.

The phone sure looks pretty in the box.

I guess I'm still using the HTC One and Lumia 1020 for a while. (Please no one bid on my HTC One on eBay for a few days.)
[Moto X Q&A] zerin:
I came from an HTC One and purchased a sim cutting tool and micro/normal sim plastic adapter. The cut sim works fine in any phone using adapters. Total cost was under $10.
[Moto X Q&A] KiNG OMaR:
My T-Mobile version came with a TMO nano sim :laugh:
[Moto X Q&A] rmead01:
You can go to your carriers store or even call them and they'll send out a Sim for your phone. With att its no charge.
[Moto X Q&A] shane1:
i cut my sim down with scissors it was a little nerve racking but very simple
[Moto X Q&A] MikeG7265:
I'm not sure which version you bought, but my Verizon dev edition came with the nano-SIM already installed. You may want to pop the SIM tray out and check.
[Moto X Q&A] infinit22:
I cut mine with scissor and filed it down with a nail filer. Works perfect
[Moto X Q&A] ChineseWarrior:
Just cut off the surrounding plastic around the chip :) Of course make sure you have that little notch though. That's what I did :)
[Moto X Q&A] kertong:
Here's a handy template if you want to try cutting the sim down yourself: http://www.airportal.de/nanosim/
[Moto X Q&A] lensgrabber:
Both AT&T and T-Mobile retail stores will transfer you over to a nano sim without any charge. It takes about five minutes to do. With AT&T, they just gave me a card and I went home and called customer service. Ten minutes from start to finish once on the line. She verified everything with me and stayed on the line until test texts and phone calls were made.
[Moto X Q&A] tw1tch175:
Dev edition doesn't come with a SIM card
[Moto X Q&A] c_dog:
Both of my Dev edition Moto Xs came with nano SIMs installed. Still, ended up cutting down the micro SIMs from my Dev edition S4s. The S4 Developer editions didn't come with cards. Had pulled those cards from couple of old GNexs and at that time just stuck them in the S4s and fired them up. Didn't want to risk messing up the unlimited accounts those numbers have. So, with nano-to-micro adapters the S4s and Moto Xs can be SIM swapped at will with affect on the unlimited status of the lines.
[Moto X Q&A] tw1tch175:
Did you get the Verizon Dev Edition, because the GSM version sure doesn't come with one.
[Moto X Q&A] pyrolite:
My Verizon Dev edition came with a SIM card as well... All I did was login to my account online and activated the phone. No need to even call or go to the store...
[Moto X Q&A] c_dog:
Both were Verizon and came with Verizon 'compatible' nano SIMs.
[Moto X Q&A] tw1tch175:
Yea that's because it's only for verizon, the GSM version doesn't come with the sim already
[Moto X Q&A] Bill Idol:
VERIZON DEV EDITION. Mine came with a nano sim also:D

[Moto X Q&A] phermey:
as others have said. just cut it down with scissors. the front side(notch), cut to the metal and cut notch . sides. cut to the metal. back side.... you are going to cut through 3/32" of the metal. you can cut everything i touch big and go from there.

unless you cut it too small... you cant really screw it up. i have cut several of them now and all of them work great.
[Moto X Q&A] DoogieDC:
I got the Dev edition which is why there was no SIM. I went to my AT&T store the next day and got a nano-SIM for free. It was just a bit of a bummer for the unboxing.

So im going to be getting the wireless charger for my s4, but i dont think my otterbox will fit with the new back cover, so my question is, what case will fit with the new back cover and has a screen cover like the otterbox, or would i need to grab a screen protector along with a new case or will the otterbox still fit and work with the wireless charging?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackSlashx00:
Hello, I recently rooted my android phone, but it is not the first time. Due to my last incident with my rooted samsung galaxy S2, I was tweaking certain roms and it ended up getting bricked. I found out about a program called ODIN that can unbrick my phone, but I failed at that and ended up installing a different firmware lol, yet it was still stuck at the start up boot loop animation [IDIOT MOVE] and this time the computer could not detect my phone anymore, trust me I tried hundreds of methods from different computers to different usb ports and different versions of odin and gave up.

However I have a new phone and plan with verizon and ended up rooting the phone again. I did not tweak any roms or uninstalled pre-installed default apps YET. But this time I want to be prepared again if I ever come across my phone being bricked. I am being cautious. How can I have a stable backup of my phone, so if it ever gets bricked I can use odin to unbrick it. Do I have to use titanium backup for this approach or something else.

In case someone asks, it is called Verizon LG Lucid, Model Number VS870 4G, it is 4GLite version 4.1.2. Software verson: VS87011A.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLINTZ9:
Install a custom recovery such as clock work mod it has the best backup and can bring your phone back from a soft brick :thumbup:

I have been battling an issue with my HTC One when I use a USB cable for data transfers. PC will recognize phone for two seconds when plugged in and starts charging but immediately stops and I get the "USB host cable is plugged in - Unable to charge the device" message as if I had plugged in an OTG cable. I have the same issue when plugging into my car stereo for music playback so the issue is not PC drivers, but I did try different drivers and still nothing.

Does this sound like the usb hardware drivers are screwed up inside the Android OS? Any way I can pull the drivers from another ROM and replace the ones in my phone? Phone charges fine when plugged into the wall charger. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] 18th.abn:
Did you try a different usb cable?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] lohanchien:
I did. I have five different ones. Two from HTC phones, Two from Samsung phones and one generic.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rvcullen:
I have not seen any info about this yet. I have the Metawatch Frame and they have the notorious issue of not working with the HTC Sense BT stack or something related.

Has anyone had success getting this to work with Sense UI? I currently run CM 10 on the HTC One which allows the metawatch to work fine, but I actually like the Sense UI and the stock camera app (zoe), which i can't seem to find a solution to run on CM.

Anyone have any good mods that might work?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Jeffrey687:
I was using my Metawatch Frame with several 4.3 leaks with Sense 5 w/o issue - AFTER upgrading to the newest Metawatch Manager app. All older versions of the watch app made the watch pretty useless. I also have a Pebble and Sony Smartwatch 2 that work Great with the HTC One.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rvcullen:
Thanks, I'll try that one then too. I was trying to connect with the Community version, so maybe the stock version will work better. I like that the watch stays "on" all the time otherwise I would go for the Smartwatch 2, so I'll check that out now.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] rvcullen:
Well, no luck there wither. i tried a bunch of stock and variant Sense UI's with no luck. Something in the HTC's radios maybe are not working mice with the BTLE stuff.

If I try to connect to the watch (which it scans and sees with no issue), it either hangs and does not work, or I get an Android message that says this device needs a low energy app to work correctly.

Still trying, but losing the battle . Guess I gotta either sell my watch or live with CM 10 which is ok, but not to my liking.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Limeybastard:
How does one check to see if the phone was rooted prior or has had the Knox counter flipped? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] tyiphius:
To see if you currently have root just download root checker from the play store.

To check your Knox status just turn off the phone, hold volume down, home, and power. Hit volume up and it'll enter download mode. You can see your Knox status there.

dropped my ba on the road and now, apart from a dent, i have a problem in that intermittently the speaker decides not to work. which can be annoying when i use it for my alarm clock for work ;)

will o2 repair it for free? has anyone been in this same position? got my ba in july 05

cheers

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] swoopster:
probably depends on whether the speaker has been working fine for the last few months since u dropped it ;-)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] andrewleith1:
i have a BA on O2 and i droped it and cracked the screen, i have the gold insurance which is £5 a month, and they delivered a new one to my work next day, i did have to pay £25 excess though
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Guest:
I dropped my O2 at Heathrow airport this summer.. Result... A broken screen :-(

I took it to an O2 store (in Aberdeen), and told them to fix it, and tighten the keyboard also.

After some time (I think one month) I got it back, but they did not tighten the keyboard and I did not accept it. I told them to return it to O2, and to fix the keyboard!

Two days later the O2 store called, and told me that they had a brand new O2 XDA2s for me ... for free :-)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] aslan:
nice!

did u have insurance and what did u say about how it broke...did u just say u dropped it?

thinking to make up a story, just need to know which one to make up :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Guest:
No I did not have an insurance for it (I guess I could have used my travel insurance if needed)

O2 told me that it was going to cost me about £170.

As a new XDA2s is more than £170, I told them to fix it.

When the phone got back I was ready to pay £170, but as the keyboard was still not fixed I did not, and told them to send it back and fix it.

After they gave me the new XDA2s, I was again ready to pay the £170, but then the told me that there was no need for it :-)

Not sure if it was a fu*k up, or good O2 service :-)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] RiNo808:
Hello i was wonderig if i should jump in and get the note 3 which would be my first note device or wait for the S5. As of now i have a S4, and well spec wise the note 3 and S4 is pretty close. Input would be great thanks in advanced.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tyiphius:
I said the same thing when the s4 came out and just decided to wait for the Note 3.

I had the Note 2 and the s4 was just too small for my liking. Cant go back to "small" screens.

s5 will more than likely have more/better features than Note 3 (no s-pen or those features though) but if you're going to wait for the s5, why note wait a couple months and get the Note 4? :D

Its all down to preference and what'd you'd like out of your phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] alexige:
Do you want a note size device or S sized device? I can't see them making the S much bigger or it could canabilize Note sales. Also specs will be better on the S5.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
I think you'll always be waiting.. because when the S5 come out the Note 4 will be around the corner and whatever else HTC or LG device that might come out

If size isn't a issue you have no problem get the Note 3..The s5 won't come out in January if you listening to that rumor
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jdh10475:
There is always something better right around the corner. Larger screen and device or smaller screen and device? That should answer your question.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
Honestly, The Note 3 is damn near everything you Could want. It's excellent, I'd get it. It'll still be great this time next year.

sEnt from thE noTe 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] ReggieSmith:
Every time you wait, there will always be something newer/better on the horizon. The St will not have the S-pen so if you want that you need something from the Note line... but as long as you're waiting, I'm sure there will be a Note 4 next year. ;)
