Hi,

I am looking to buy a factory unlocked G2 and flashing custom rom on it like CM10.2, and use it on T-mobile. Just want to make sure I could get LTE speed, correct?

Currently on Nexus 4 on T-mobile monthly 4g, enjoying LTE 4G speed, so, just want to be sure...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CollinFX45:
I would suggest you still buy the T-Mobile version, depending on what's important to you. As far as I know, the AT&T version doesn't have 1700mhz AWS band for HSPA+ to fall back onto if you don't have LTE. The two devices (D800 and D801) both have the same LTE bands.

Which version are you considering? I don't know if any of the other versions work on T-Mobile's Band 4 LTE, but when I checked a few weeks back, they didn't. You may be stuck with a T-Mobile version.

Factory unlocked, e.g. : http://www.amazon.com/LG-G2-32GB-Un...qid=1382743380&sr=8-3&keywords=unlocked+lg+g2
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CollinFX45:
The specs listed on that page for LTE are:

4G Network	LTE 850 / 1800

Neither of those are T-Mobile bands in the US. Are you planning to use it in the US, or T-Mobile in another country like the UK? I think the UK uses 1800mhz, but I'm just speculating at this point. Sorry I can't be more help!

Hi I have a SGH-897 and I installed the latest cm mod. And for some reason I can't send text msgs, it was working at first but after a few hrs no good. I have net10 what can I do to fix this?

APN settings good?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4an1:
Yea, they should be, it I can get on the internet and send mms... I would assume my APN settings are right.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
actually no, your APN settings could indeed be set to only work for specific things. It is the first thing to check.

Then you can try other modems. After that, try clean flashing your ROM and finally check your sim card and with your carrier.

Hi guys,

I have one question. How to hide folders with for example pictures?

I've tried with .nomedia file but it didn't worked, also I've tried to hide folder with es file manager, it was half win becouse pictures was showing like corrupted files. Is there any way to hide pictures that album app won't show it?

Thanks for anserw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xsisbest:
So I'm contemplating the One Up and getting the Note 3 but I would wait if I knew there was something better on the horizon. I still have 8 months left on my Evo LTE contract but I would love to upgrade as it's just getting laggy and pissing me off.. I tested out the Note 3 last night and I like it but I just am such a HTC fanboy I have a hard time wanting to buy a samsung. I definitely don't want a motorola anything either but I would be open to a Sony or other option if it were as good or better. I read the reviews on the HTC one max and it sounded like it wasn't the greatest compared to the note 3 but it's hard to believe considering the one x is basically the mini version of it.

My vision is getting pretty bad so I for sure want the bigger screen but what do you guys think? Is there something better around the corner? I don't mind waiting a couple months but by Christmas I would hope to have a new toy :D

Thanks for your comments and or recommendations!

I've had an o2 mini s for about a week now and i'm pleased with it on the whole. My only real concern is battery life. My mini seems to drain much quicker than by xda 2 s which I had before. I seem to drop about 10% in 1 hour 10 mins and that's just a few calls/txts and minimum fiddling.

8:20 100%

9:42 88%

I've dropped all the o2 software and don't have any tricky 3rd party apps installed only;

I've read quite a few posts about battery life being good on this phone but i'm not seeing it. I'm still in my 14 day cooling off period and i'm considering sending it back for a replacement.

My battery life seems to be utter rubbish every time I charge my MDA Vario over the USB link. I can go to bed with 100% battery and find it dead by morning. This has happened two or three times since I bought it on 5th November. Last Saturday morning I had the USB cable connected to download some music to my SD card with 100% charge at 10:00. I played music for about an hour through the supplied headphones and by 13:00 I was down to 50% battery. By that evening I was down to a few %. I've read reviews that you you should squeeze about 10 hours of continuous music from this thing on one full charge so an hour of music and 7 hours of standby/sleep seems pathetic.

If I charge using the mains charger and sync over Bluetooth I get a standby battery life of about 5 days. Obviously that is shortened with use so in practice I am charging it every 2-3 days (no point starting a day with only 20% left!).

I have no idea why USB charging is completely hopeless. I have tried soft resetting or closing all active apps after charging, to make sure ActiveSync isn't actively running and causing a drain (just as you are advised to with a Bluetooth sync) but that seems to make no difference. USB charging is rubbish. Mains charging is the only way to go, IME.

Charging over USB hopeless

I confirm USB charging IS rubbish. The reason seems to be that the power available out of that conector on a PC is not enough to charge properly... I had the same issue with BA and Himalaya...

Answer: get a USB charger / car charger that can deliver 1A minimum.

BTW I found a craddle for the Wizard in Dubai @ Plugins. It comes with USB port/cable + power adapter. Works like a charme.

My C500 Did that when I had it Plugged in the Front USB ports on my case, I normaly had it plugged in to the onboard USB at the back of my pc with a usb ext cable so I could have it on my desk but I went off to a lan party and when I plugged everything back in I put my USB cable to front usb port and found it was Discharging my Battery instead of charging it, got my usb in Back port all is fine again now

Maybe you have yours in to the front USB port or non onboard port?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tdodd:
I use a laptop, which only has two USB 1.1 ports but they each supply enough juice to power a USB ADSL modem (not that I'm using one of those these days), which is more than some PCs will manage and also my USB hard drive, which my Shuttle won't. So there is no lack of power from the USB ports on the laptop.

Of course, the USB spec only permits a maximum current demand of 500mA so any equpiment expecting more should not be using USB for its power supply. In any event, the phone does charge from the USB ports, albeit very slowly, but eventually the orange charge light does go green. So my situation is not one of discharging instead of charging.

I've just swapped my ROM from Vario to k-jam so I'll see if that makes any difference to the performance. I know it's given me 802.11g, which was missing before.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] monkeyphonix:
I had an M500 briefly (Magician) on Orange that had very poor battery life, it was one of the reasons I ebayed it, gave the contract sim to my wife and started a cheaper better value T-Mobile account with an MDA Compact, which

had better battery life. Typically overnight after a full charge the Orange unit went down to 75% and the T-Mobile one was at about 98% on standby.

My Vario I have now, my other T-Mobile account has very good battery life and charges very well off USB. If I sync it in the morning whilst reading my emails and stuff, let it charge USb for about 25 mins, it'll be full and by the night it will have dropped down to about 80%. This is with about 30 mins of calls, about seven or eight emails sent/received and maybe 15 mins with WIFI on.

do you have a link to the imate rom? is the vario rom also available?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] tdodd:
I can't remember for sure where I got the k-jam ROM ( I think someone saved a copy somewhere) but try here - ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ - and then save file K-JAM_WWE_1010903_106_10110_ship.exe

That is a self installing upgrade that includes the whole k-jam ROM and k-jam extended ROM files.

I don't know where to get a Vario ROM from. I did back up my own copy (I hope) but the method is a bit whacky and as I only have a 1GB mini-SD card my ROM backup image is 1GB because the only way to secure the image is to dump the whole card to a file.

Before you go playing around do make sure you have your own backup of the ROM or if not the whole thing then the Vario extended ROM files at least. I'm using the k-jam ROM with the Vario Extended ROM.

Re: Charging over USB hopeless

Hi,

Is there any way to disable USB charging? I didn't connect USB very often since it will charge automatically and I don't like the battery be charged very often. It might kill battery soon. I like to sync with bluetooth; however it is much slower than USB. It's amazing if there is any tool to disable USB charging. Because it will sync fast and will not hurt the battery. Thanks for the suggestions in advance.

Cheers!

Re: Charging over USB hopeless

You are thinking of older batteries such as Nicads. Topping up often does not hurt Lithium batteries, in fact it's better for them. Their main enemies are deep discharge and heat - and that's exactly what you're subjecting it to by letting it run flat, then charging for hours to get it back to max.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Michael Lin:
Re: Charging over USB hopeless

Dear Ineedtoys,

Thanks for the reply. I understand that there is no so called "memory effect" on Lithium battery; however when I checked the battery spec, I always found that there is a "charging cycle limitation". For example, a specific battery claimed that it can be rechaged 10,000 times, then very USB charging will be counted also. It will reach 10,000 times faster. This is my concern. I don't know if this is right or wrong. Can somebody help to clarify this?

B. Rgds.,

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] KnuSp4:
Re: Charging over USB hopeless

That's true. It's the same with Notebooks. The more you charge it, while it's in use, the faster the battery gets "killed"!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Michael Lin:
Re: Charging over USB hopeless

Answer my own question.

I am quite sure that the USB charging can be disabled since I used to see the config on a HP device. I also believed that this can be done by 'registry' since it is Windows tradition. I finally found it after a short study. Please go to

HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv

and change the

EnableUsbCharging to '0'

then

soft reset => Bingo.

Hope it helps.

a tail of 2 wizard

So I spoke to o2 in the end and they agreed that the battery didn't sound right and shipped me a new wizard. Interestingly, they didn't pick up the old one so I've had a few days testing !

Both phones fully charged ( from mains ) running side by side

- no sim card

- wifi on and connected

- backlight on constant ( mid setting )

- media player running ( mp3 playback )

After a number of hours there was a marked difference between the new phone and old phone. About a 20% difference in the power reading. New phone 80% - old phone 60% ! Letting the test run the difference became less but the new handset was always about 10% over. I finished the test with old phone on 5% and new phone on 13%.

Ran the test a few times - results always the same. So I thought the old battery must be damaged so I swapped over the 2 batteries and re-testing. Results were the same ! New handset outlasted old handset by 10-20% ! Conclusion : my original handset was running the battery down quicker than my new handset !

Both had exactly the same apps installed and I'd removed all o2 software. Much happier with the new handset. Proper battery life now.
