[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mikegrmn:
Just a quick update:

I received my bumper a couple of days ago and have used it for about 2 days. After that I went back to my Spigen bounce case. Here's what I think / experienced:

The good:

- I had no problems with signal loss (previously my main concern)

- The bumper doesn't add thickness (the phone just feels fantastic without any case)

- Real good looks of the bumper

- Cut out for the power button (due to the cut out, the button is recessed and I didn't inadvertanlty power on my N3 when putting it in my pocket as is often the case with my bounce case)

The not so good:

- The bumper is so slim and only really covers the trim, so I was constantly afraid to scratch the camera bump when laying the phone on a flat surface

- Putting the bumper on the phone I was afraid to scratch the trim because it's such a tight fit. And with the aluminum supposedly being harder then the plastic trim, scratching would have been easy if you're not careful

- Due to the tight fit, anything being entrapped between the bumper and the trim while installing the bumper may leave depressions in the trim

- Sharp edges on the inside at top and bottom part of the bumper

- Cut out of the volume rocker is made in a way that only small almost sharp ridges are left over. i ended up sanding down the burrs of the cut out as it was uncomfortable to the touch

- The hole on the bottom right is missing. Even though it seems that it's not a microphone, the hole in the device surely is there for a purpose.

To sum it up, I like the bumper for it's slim looks and some of the functionality (like the volume button being recessed). I don't like it to much for my N3 because I'm really picky about the looks of my gadgets without add ons, so I opt for the more protective stuff.

What I really dislike about my Spigen bounce is, that the power button is to easily pressed so that I often end up turning my N3 on when putting it into my pocket or taking it out. It also doesn't offer a lot of grip. I'd prefer a more silicon like grip like on an otterbox defender, although I think that an otterbox would make it too bulky for this size of phone. I think I'll have a look at one of the Samsung cases. If the surface really has some leather texture, the grip may be more to my taste. I just cannot really decide if I'd prefer the one with the screen cut out or the one without. Having access to the phone with closed lid sounds great, but I think the one with no cut out looks better. One shortcoming I see here right now is that the volume rocker is covered, so there is no skip tracks with volume rocker available in car with closed lid.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
That small cut out hole on the right is the temperature and barometer sensor. Anyway there's some apps that you can find that use it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheScarySnail:
hey guys, i was just wondering if/how to downgrade to MDK from MI1 on my verizon galaxy s4 because i want to flash ROMS but can't right now with safestrap on my rooted s4 with MI1. is the bootloader unlocked on the MDK version? because if so i would be able to flash TWRP without having root access which would be awesom.e any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
You can't downgrade to MDK. You can only reinstall the same version that you currently have, or update to a newer version.

There are no versions of the Verizon GS4 that have an unlocked bootloader. There's a method for MDK phones to bypass the bootloader lock (loki), but that's it.

At the moment, all you can do with MI1 is use safestrap and ROMs compatible with the stock MI1 kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
I have read that people have downgraded back to MDK with JTAG but I have also heard it is very risky and I would not know which direction to point you in.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ssn04:
I have a Jasjar, which was running:

ROM version 1.13.53 WWE

Radio version 1.03.01

ExtROM version 1.13.137 WWE

I ran the radio-only upgrade, which errored the first time but ran without problem the second time. After a soft reset, I now have:

ROM version 1.13.53 WWE

Radio version 1.04.02

ExtROM version 1.13.137 WWE

All my settings/hacks were retained and no information was lost. The radio appears to be stable.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cuteangelika:
Hi, Sorry... im posting a newbie question... please ignore if "beneath" you...

Im confused on the "radio" upgrade thing. I mean, is this really the radio that we know of (FM/AM)? Why the need for upgrade? How do i make the radio work then?

Laugh all you want, read all your posts and i still dont get it. :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ssn04:
The "radio" portion of the Jasjar is the phone/gprs componentry. The rest of the Jasjar is the PDA componentry. Because, theoretically at least, WM5 products can be PDA-only and because the radio portion of WM5 products can vary widely (differing standards for various parts of the world), the firmware is released in two parts: the base operating system for the PDA and the radio subsystem addition for the phone/gprs functions. This explanation is somewhat broad, and not 100% accurate, but hopefully provides some clarification.

Thanks for the explanation.. that was tech101 for me :) I get it now.. It's the "phone" part then.. upgrading the radio might have something to do with connecting wifi, bt etc... and i really though i could tune in to my favorite radio station.. haha :P

Thanks a heap!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] ssn04:
You are welcome. BTW, something like this http://www.dealsonic.com/csdsedifmstr.html would add AM-FM capability to a Jasjar

if

WM5 drivers are available. Note though that it would seriously truncate battery life.

Benefit of Radio 1.04 over 1.03?

Just got my i-mate jasjar. Wondering about upgrades but it seems to work and if it aint broke, dont fix it!!

For those who have flashed from 1.03 to 1.04, what improvements were there?

Thanx
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] BalooDK:
I just updated my 1.03.00 to 1.04.10 on my Qtek 9000

The biggest improvement is the time from hitting the 'pick-up' button to the connection being established. On the older version, this took about 5-7 seconds.... on new version, this happens instantly.

Maybe it's just me, but i think the sound quality of the phonecall is improved too.

Everything seems utterly solid. :D

Bluetooth call quality is brilliant, even though I live in the middle of nowhere I have an improved network signal (GSM/GPRS)

Will try UMTS & Video Calling tonight.

In the interim I've SFX packaged the Radio Only Upgrade and fired it onto the ftp site:

o2 Exec Radio 1.06.00 Upgrade.exe

To install the upgrade:

1) Fully Sync your handset

2) Remove SD & SIM Card

3) Soft Reset your Handset

4) Re-connect the handset so Active Sync restarts

5) Double click on the o2 Exec Radio 1.06.00 Upgrade.exe file and the updater program will autorun and upgrade your radio stack.

6) DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS UNTIL TOLD BY A PROMPT

7) Viola! Radio 1.06.00!!!

I hope the autorun feature of my upgrade helps any n00bs!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] BetoX:
I just tried the upgrade and happened allways the same... have to hard reset it, upload the original ROM and following it upgrade to the latest radio... followed by 2 hours of setuping everything again...!!!

As you say, seems to be much better quality than the previous loads.

I've been trying to upgrade device using your rom, but I got error 120 (invalid country or something like that). My device's Qtek 9000 from Slovenia's operator mobitel.

I purchased, a T-mobile HTC One about 4 months ago, and converted the phone to the Google Edition including bootloader.

Now I found that the top grill (where the speaker is) is showing a gap, and I have about 3 dead pixels (they stay green and red all the time when the screen is on) Does anybody know how picky they are for replacements, and if I should restore to stock, or can I just send it back and they won't care about software mods?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] kevace1:
You will definitely have to return the device to stock. I suggest relocking the BL, return to stock. So no red letters appear at the bottom during boot. I don't think the dive too much more then that.

[HTC Wildfire S] enragedg0ldfish:
Hi Guys long time learcher, first time poster so please be kind if my n00bness starts to shine through.

So recently I brought a Tesco Branded Wildfire S A510e (believe 2012 model) second-hand. As soon as it came I used this site with my Macbook Air and got the phone bootloader unlocked, recovery finally installed and lastly flashed a nice custom rom with a new kernel.

My new network SIM card came through today, i decided to go with giffgaff because like tesco they are actually using the O2 network so I thought the SIM card would be compatible with the handset but alas as soon as I booted into my phone I was greeted with a SIM network unlock PIN prompt.

I done a bit of research and I discovered that my phone is SIM-LOCKED (if thats what S-ON means??) and to get it off I need to buy some kind of XTC Clip but unfortunately am feeling the pinch at the mo so I can't afford to order one. Instead I paid for a network unlock code from mobileunlocked.com (had used them before with a locked blackberry). I sent them my IMEI number, paid and waited for about 10 minutes and my unlock code arrived.

Eagerly I entered the code and it was accepted, the phone then displayed my menu screen etc. But I also noticed that I have no signal on the phone, i tried to scan for the network but I just got a "Error while searching for networks", I thought it might need a reboot so I did.

But when it booted up it asked me for the network unlock code again, I entered it again, it was accepted and the phone then displayed my menu screen but once again no signal, I tried to search for the network and once again same Error while searching message.

I shutdown the phone and manage to borrow my sons Tesco SIM to test, popped it in and turned it on. No code asked for, booted straight into the menu and looked, the phone has signal.

Tried my GiffGaff SIM again and still same problem. If I wait a message does pop up saying "mobile registered on network" but when I try to search for a network carrier a search prompt pops up for about half-a-second but then closes, No network operators are listed.

Has anyone else ever had this kind of problem??

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
[HTC Wildfire S] MiCeltic:
I don't see where you activated the SIM that you got from GiffGaff. If you didn't, go to their site and click on, "Activate SIM" and follow the prompts.
[HTC Wildfire S] bergamotewilks:
Hello there,

Exactly the same thing happened to me yesterday also with a Wildfire S, and I found a way around it.

I flashed a stock ROM (Gingerbread, HTC Sense), and entered the unlock code, which actually unlocked the phone (calls and all).

After that I re-flashed the custom ROM I'd used previously and didn't get prompted for a code, the phone is still unlocked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KEB64:
So I've been in a minimalist mood lately. I'm not running gapps. What do I need from Google to use skype and general voice input like on the keyboard. Is it Google voice? If so, does that have any dependencies?

Edit: I guess what I need is Google Voice Search.

2nd edit: hmm... Harder than expected. Since Google Voice was already installed on my Sense ROM I could not download the standalone app. Backing up the system app and applying it via Titanium does not work. Any ideas?

Edit 3: I was really having a "doh" moment. I ended up making a cm backup and installing gapps then backing up the apps I need then returning to my cm backup and restoring apps from titanium including the system app com.Google.android.voicesearch 4.0.0 - everything works just fine now

Hi guys,

I usually connect my HTC One with my cars (BMW e91) Bluetooth and all my Google contacts get synced without any issues using Android 4.2. But when I run android 4.3 always the same contacts won't appear on my car. I tested with ARHD v. 30 and Maximus HD v. 21. Both show the exact same "issue".

Did Google changed something in Android 4.3?

All my contacts are stored in my contact's.

I have the same problem with my One and Opel / Vauxhall Insignia. With version 4.2, all contacts were transferred to the car phonebook. On version 4.3, only one or two contacts are transferred. The strange thing is, it's not the same contacts that are transferred, it seems quite random every time I start the car.

I can't see any logic between the contact types (Google contact, Facebook contact, with picture, without picture etc.).

In the call log, all phone numbers are transferred, but again, no names.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
So I confirmed this an issue on the official AT&T 4.3 release so it's a 4.3 problem on HTC ROMs. It wasn't working properly on the developer edition 4.4 build either that I can remember. You'd think this stuff would pass QA.

Good find on that app. I don't feel I should have to pay for an app that fixes something that HTC broke.

Almost all contacts get synced? That means it still doesn't work 100%.

I'll see if I can remove the Facebook profile information manually as one of the contacts I verified didn't sync isn't even linked to Facebook.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterl1983:
Well all contacts get synced but some numbers are missing. Yeah feels weird paying extra money on an app for a software feature which should be standard on a phone worth 500 euro. But this app is definitely worth the money...cause now I can use my phone the way I want it.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vRS Carl:
100% Working Solution

The solution for this is to move all your contacts to the sim card. Check the bluetooth settings on the CAR bluetooth to ensure it syncs data from the phone and the sim card.

Once you do that all the contacts will sync. I had the same issue and it took me 2 days (and a flat car battery:eek:) to work this out. I know it's not ideal but until it is fixed in a software release this is the only 100% work around i found without trying loads of different apps.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vRS Carl:
Well 4.4.2 broke the fix above. The only way I've found now is to use Bluetooth Phonebook app from the play store. Everything now works flawlessly as it should do.

Seems to work fine for me with 4.4.2. I have that app installed but pbap disabled in it and my contacts sync fine. Maybe I need to freeze or remove that app and try.

Ok when I froze it before connecting to my car, it's an issue again. The app is still needed in 4.4.2 Sense.
