Maybe flash a different modem to see if that works, I'm having a similar problem but with the data only working oh H+.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machokingjim:
Try flashing different modems until the issue is gone starting with the modem that came stock with the device

Else try a different rom solves all your problems
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrt34u7:
How do I change the modem? ClockWorkMod -> Flash update and just select a zip file containing a modem?

I got all the non-T zips from here (Veyka's collection):

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morty84:
I just flash via Cwm in recovery mode with a zip file. Never had any issues apart from the data since I started flashing but that's a work in progress changing modems myself to find a decent working one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machokingjim:
Only the zip files are flashable via cwm so look out before you flash

Try cwm->install zip from sd card(not install an update) and choose the modem

Also do a nandroid backup and also the efs folder backup

Gud luck mate:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrt34u7:
Tried XXKH3 and XXLPR and neither of them work :mad:

All those Philz Touch options are confusing and I'm a newbie, so...

- if I want to install a new ROM, should I do this: Wipe Data/Factory Reset -> Clean To Install A New ROM and when it's done Install New ROM and choose another ROM?

- if I want to revert to the original Android: Wipe Data/Factory Reset -> Wipe Data/Factory Reset ?

- I made a CWM backup before flashing NeatROM. What's that for (Backup And Restore -> Restore From Internal SD Card and it's there) ?

EDIT: I just remembered something. My phone was running 2.3.4 before I rooted and flashed it. Does that matter?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machokingjim:
1.yes you should do a clean wipe as you mentioned before installing a new rom

2.you can revert back to your original android only if you have done a nandroid backup i.e. cwm backup

3.factory reset does not revert your phone back to original android version

4.no 2.3.4 does not matter at all for custom roms but does matter for modems
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrt34u7:
OK, so I installed the newest SlimBean and everything seems to be all right.

One more question: can I delete the modem zip files (including the one I flashed) and the NeatROM zip? I just want to be sure.

Thanks.

HI guys, today I was trying to flash my gti-9000 from cyanogen 9 to cyanogen 10.1.3 and something went wrong. I was following this guide http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_galaxysmtd. All went well till point 6 of custome recovery and then I restarted in recovery mode. Now, before doing all this I downloaded the cyanogen release on my phone (I don't have a sd card) so I tried to do

Select the option to wipe data/factory reset.

Select install zip from sdcard.

Select choose zip from sdcard.

but I get a "can't mount /sdcard". Now, still in recovery mode, I tried to mount it using adb ( adb shell mount /sdcard), but the computer doesn't seem to pick up the device when it is in recovery mode and I get a error: device not found. How do I get out of this mess please? I need to copy the rom on the phone and I don't seem to be able to do it in any way (needless to say if I switch my phone on it won't work)

thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] onebody:
Hello, first time posting.

Problem: when I attach my xperia P to my TV (Vistron 32in DB32) via the Sony included HDMI cable the picture quality for movies or streaming is terrible. In fact it is Windows 95 terrible.

When the phone is attached via the HDMI cable the TV resolution defaults to 720 HD, it is capable of full HD.

I spent along time reading this forum and established that my TV is not CEC HDMI capable, so I cannot use my remote to navigate. Also, I found the Service Menu thanks to this site. I found the TV Out settings and.changed them to 1080p, selected SET but the settings would not hold. Everytime I navigated away from the settings they reverted back to 720i. On a separate note, I noticed HDCP was enabled when the phone was attached.

That is as far as I have got. Can anyone else help? I did buy the phone as it had an HDMI port, but I cannot use it. I just want the P to display movies, streaming movies with some basic quality.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
How you gonna get 1080p on a panel that has only 1366x768 pixels that is what I want to know.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] onebody:
I see! Surely the picture should be watchable at 720?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
With my poor sight probably LOL

I'll try on my Dell screen see whats the difference.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
I have no way telling what resolution I'm at but display settings report optimal resolution 1920x1200.

Wasn't impressed with YT HQ videos but a 720p file I played looked good even if not as when played on PC.

So here it is folks

I work at a T-Mobile store, and today our LG Product Specialist stopped by the store. The first thing I asked about was the Nexus 5 Launch date. LG said LG is

NOT

allowed to talk about it. After some

smooth talking

I got her to spill some beans ;)

SPOILER ALERT

The Nexus 5

WILL NOT

launch until after the LG G2 completes it's launch on November 9th. So expect it shortly there after :)

[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
Oh look. It's THIS thread again...

Since I like to contribute something with every post: what does

mean? I guess what I'm trying to say is couldn't that mean it won't "launch" in T-Mobile stores until then? Meaning they won't carry until then? Couldn't it still launch on the Play store today, but then "launch" for T-Mobile stores on the 9th?

And sorry for my first line. I was simply trying to imply that this could maybe be posted inside one of the many other Nexus 5 release date threads instead of requiring an entirely new thread.
[Nexus 5 General] Paddington:
T-Mobile didn't get the Nexus 4 until a few weeks after the Play Store put it on sale. This could be the same thing.

Oh I see. Yea, no. We get product specialists in the store every month or so, Nokia, Samsung etc. Today LG just so happened to stop by and asked if we had any questions about the G2. I took that opportunity to ask about the Nexus 5. Her face go blood red lol... I'm guessing she can get in trouble for leaking any information which is why I haven't mentioned a name :o

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smykster:
Hey everyone, long time lurker first time poster.

I got the LG G2 and love everything about it. My girlfriend adores it very much as well so she decided to get one for her upgrade.

My phone is perfect; legendary battery life, beautiful screen, lightning fast, and cleanrom + a few mods take it to another level. Hers on the other hand has about 1/3rd the battery life of mine. Even in airplane mode with no apps running, her battery drains twice as fast at mine. Also, when trying to troubleshoot this problem for her, I noticed that her screen has a rather obvious yellow tint to it. My whites are incredible while hers look murky, like a beige tabbed page divider. I'm starting to think she got a bit of a dud here. Anyone else running into these problems? We ordered this through amazon, can the phone be replaced? Thanks!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Pickles:
Hi there,

I just got a FreedomPop phone (HTC Evo Design 4G), and while $0/month is great, and it technically works, the phone itself is very slow an clunky (music player crashes, the RAM is actually downgraded from 768 to 512, general lag). Now, I have a perfectly decent Droid Razr M, which I would love to get working with the FreedomPop service.

Here is what I found so far:

* The FreedomPop phone has no SIM card. It's all software.

* I did a Titanium Backup, and found two packages of notice:

vDM Client (com.redbend.vdmc) - seems to be responsible for some kind of cellular data transfer.

Sprint DSA (com.sprint.dsa) - sprint network authentication.

There might be more, but I'm assuming it's these two that are responsible for authenticating me onto the network.

I did a Titanium Backup on the EVO, and restored it on the RAZR, but I get the permissions errors like the one below because the programs are not "signed":

10-29 16:06:22.029 W/PackageManager(699): Not granting permission android.permission.DEVICE_POWER to package com.redbend.vdmc (protectionLevel=2 flags=0x8be45)

It seems like this should be possible to figure out. I would very much appreciate any help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insink71:
Freedompop's Evo Design 4g does have a sim port and is a world phone. This is probably wrong forum to discuss, but since XDA has elected not to make one for said device, I'll continue. Main thing is: your Droid... is Verizon and Freedompop is a Sprint mvno. If I were to try such, I'd scout old phone forums [recommend droid eris]. Some got those kind of working across the cdma band differences, and you'd need to do similarly. My experience w/ moto manufactured smartphones is limited; so, no guide forthcoming from me. Hope that helps somewhat though.

Regards,

Rob
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Pickles:
Thanks for the reply. Yes, Moto is a Verizon while Evo Design is Sprint. The main thing, however, is that there is no sim card and the sprint access is all based on software. So theoretically, if I migrate the software, it could work. The backup-evo->restore-razr doesn't seem to work because of the app certificate issues. I think that's step one. To figure out how to install the software, so it actually works. Then figure out how to allow access to the Sprint network, since both phones are world phones.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insink71:
lil help

I know with HTC phones.. you'd need a copy of QPST, drop down into your root directory and make a "opensesame" folder. This unlocks the NV items. Inside those NV items are keys you'd need to switch out [to work on other bands]. That would have to be done at a minimum [and I don't know where motorola's storage of these lie]. Using a sacrifice phone and changing meid has been suggested by some in past, but changing the meid often changes your ESN [it recalculates]. Technically changing your ESN is a grey area. Some say its illegal; I say its illegal if your intent is to defraud. I am not a lawyer though nor do I play one on TV [nor did I stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night]; so, any and all waivers apply ;) . Defraud is a wide grey area iow. To me, that's to discourage those that cloned phones, pirated data and calls, invaded privacy, etc and if you are experimenting on your own sacrificial phone [not to defraud anyone], I don't consider it illegal, but keep it to yourself all the same [if you have to go that route]. That's about all the help I can be on the issue. I've been able to get Sprint phones working on Sprint mvno, but never attempted the long vault [Sprint to Verizon or vice versa].

Rob

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danfloun:
Hi,

I'm trying to determine if it's possible to create a virtual bluetooth device which relays information to a real bluetooth device.

Here's the problem.

I have a bluetooth chip n pin machine which I use to take card payments. It connects to my Android phone (N4).

Payments are setup and done through the payment app. Trouble is the payment app only supports very expensive bluetooth printers at present and the company has told me they will not support my current brother bluetooth printer because it does not fit their receipt layout very well (wtf, change it I say).

Anyway, Brother have released the SDK for the printer, so I can create an android app to talk to the printer. But what I would need to do is create a virtual Bluetooth printer which the payment app can see and thinks is a real printer. When the print command is initiated the payment app sends the print information to the virtual bluetooth printer and the virtual bluetooth printer relays it to the real bluetooth printer.

Does this sound possible? plausible?

Thanks

Danny

I keep seeing system apps being updated via the play store. So Motorola can update all apps without a system update?
[Moto X Q&A] superhyper:
It would be more accurate to say that Google can, but yes this is the way they've been gradually moving to. Now instead of having to wait for a new version of the OS (and the eternity it takes carriers and manufacturers to distribute it), Google just pushes core app updates through the play store.
[Moto X Q&A] mau006:
As someone who just made the mistake of signing up with Verizon I am VERY happy about this.
[Moto X Q&A] 1ManWolfePack:
It's more complicated than that, fellas. Allow me:

If you see a Google App on the market, that means it's no longer open source. So others can't use it unless they agree to Google's terms and have a Google qualified device. So basically, amazon and the likes that build from android's open source can't use them. So anything in the market can't be used like the open-source base code.

Long story short: if it's in the market, it's closed-sourced. Make sense?
[Moto X Q&A] thracemerin:
If they can receive updates from the play store it means they were signed by Google when they were added to the system partition which means they were already closed source when they were packaged with the stock ROM, your answer doesn't make any sense.

[Moto X Q&A] freak4dell:
Google apps have always been updated via the Play Store, so I'm not really sure what talk of the Google apps has to do with this thread. I assumed the OP was talking about the Motorola system apps, a lot of which have been put on the Play Store recently. Those were always closed-source anyway.

OP, yeah, it's so Motorola can update the apps without having to send out a system update. Google started putting more and more of the core Android apps (with some Googley modifications) on the Play Store over the past year or so to accomplish this, and now Motorola is following suit. They know the carriers really slow down system updates, so the more they can circumvent the carriers, the more updated they can keep their phones.

[Moto X Q&A] Mercutio5:
Google doesn't need to Market-link their apps to remove them from non-conforming vendors devices. As all Google apps are the property of Google, and always have been, Google can simply send you a C&D letter. Ask Cyanogen about that!

True, but they don't update the AOSP anymore. You're left with that "old" code. Only propitiatory apps get the new features and updates.

[Moto X Q&A] freak4dell:
I read that article back when it came out. A lot of the points are true, but it still has nothing to do with this thread. Motorola is already in control of their phones (minus the part where the carriers delay the updates). This allows them to circumvent the carriers for minor updates.

[Moto X Q&A] stearic:
While they are all proprietary and all, the end reason is so that the apps and new features can be put on all devices (given they meet specs and all) and they can use/take advantage of all the new features of said apps w/out having to update the actual OS to the newest version of android. It's some what of an end run around the carriers/manufactures to get the updates to the people sooner rather then waiting for them to put out an update to the devices. That's pretty much the main reason for putting them on the market and updating them that way. If they didn't want to do the end run around carriers to get the updates to the phone then they wouldn't have put them on the market like that. The apps (like moto's camera and touchless controls and googles calendar & play apps) are already closed source/proprietary so the logic of putting them on the market automatically makes them closed source doesn't make sense as there are a lot of apps that are on the market that are open source.
