WORKING

I usw SMS BackUp+ and everytime I tried to restore my SMS, the app told me it succeeded but with all duplicates. My message apps remained empty.

I did not need any extra app. I just went to my app management and clicked in permission -> modify. There I saw that "write sms" was disabled by default. Enabling it solved my problem. I successfully restored all my SMS.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
The same happend to me when using SMS Backup+...where exactly did you go to enable the read/write method? The stock sms app?

Hi, thanks for the advice!

I used App Ops [Root] from the play store:

install

reboot

give SmsBackup+ the ability to Write SMS

restore and enjoy

Work like a charm!

Thanks, this is working for me. I'm on 4.4.2, so I needed to get App Ops[root] from the market. For those that didn't need to get App Ops separately, maybe it's still included with the rom being used. Or, I just don't know where to access this permission toggle manually. Either way, this thread saved me. Thanks!

This worked for me on stock 4.4.2 without root.

Easy

I'm using CM11 (Kitkat 4.4.4) on my Defy+ and had the same problem.

Solved without installs to CM11:

1. Settings > Privacy > Privacy Protection > Advanced > Message > SMS Backup+ (or another sms backup apk)

2. Scroll to "Write" and select "Allow"

3.Redo the "Restore" in "SMS Backup+".

Done! :good:

_________________________________________

I'm using Stock Rom (Kitkat 4.4.4) rooted on my Nexus 5 and had the same problem.

If you have a stock rom rooted, follow the steps:

1. Intall an Ops apk (like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission) / Open and reboot when asked;

2. App Ops > Messaging > SMS Backup+ (or another sms backup apk)

3. Scroll to "Write SMS/MMS" and select "ON"

4. Redo the "Restore" in "SMS Backup+".

Done! :good:

Me too...:(

Used SMS backup and restore on Nexus 4, then transferred data to HTC One (With GPE Kitkat ROM) and a limited amount of messages only appear in Go SMS.

Funnily though, I get a notification for the Native Messaging app, that *previews* my most recent messages, indicating that all my messages are there, but they are only showing older messages in both Go SMS and the native app.

Any tips welcome.

I just can't get it to work.. I'm on Liquidsmooth custom rom on my S4 Mini and I've installed this sms app found on the xda forum, disabled both the standard sms and hangouts app with Titanium.

Usually I never have issues with SMS backup and restore when switching between roms but now it won't let me select it as the standard sms app. I've already checked the privacy options and both the sms app mentioned above and sms backupnrestore have full rights.

(I realize this is the nexus forum but I don't want to start a new thread considering this should be device independent)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byte9:
This thread is mostly dead- I've run into this A N N O Y I N G bug several times. TiBu won't do it SMS Backup & Restore won't do it. Nothing will prompt to be the default application. Like many of us I run Xposed and several modules use the external card in crafty mapped ways. I didn't take the time to nail which module it is.

1. Uninstall Xposed (which will disable all modules until reinstall)

2. Use SMS Backup & Restore or TiBu -- either should now prompt you FINALLY.

3. Rejoice.

After all the permission setting, cache clearing, app changing annoyances this worked for me.

Hopefully this helps somebody else. <3
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Assalitore:
This worked perfectly for restoring SMS, thank you!

However, this method doesn't work for Call Logs, probably because there's no setting for "Write Call Log", only "Read" and "Modify"... Does anybody know how to make restoring Call Logs work too?

Both SMS and Call Logs could be restored on 4.2.2 but now that I'm on 4.4.4 it doesn't work (though SMS worked with this modification above).

Any ideas on how to fix restoring Call Logs? (I'm using SMS Backup+)

Hi,

I am currently using CM10.2 on Nexus 4. The most important feature I need is the Quick Launch Shortcut, where you swipe from home to left or right to quickly launch two pre-configured applications. I set one side to Waze, my GPS app, the other side to a media app. So, I can quickly switch between those two even without looking at the screen.

I have been searching for a standalone app that could do that, but so far no success. Now I ordered a N5, CM will probably take a while to catch up to Kitkat, I am wondering if there is anyway I could have this feature on stock Kitkat. Any idea?

Hello.

As with the previous versions, my N7 will not auto-update the Play Store app. This started with one of the Android system updates, I don't remember. It's now stuck to 4.3. My other tablet, which is not a Google device has always the latest version. Is there a way to force update this without manually installing the apk file?

Thanks for your help.

Does anyone here know anything about the regional carrier nTelos and its' CDMA network? I'd love to get the Nexus 5 but I'm not sure it'll work on my carrier.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmm72:
I wouldn't bet on it. They may register it for text and talk, but getting data and mms working has always been an issue. It can be done, but it's a lot of grunt/guess work

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Do you know of any reliable way to set APN's on jellybean or KitKat?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letterboxdreams:
nTelos has LTE launched in a few markets, and now they are selling LTE devices in Richmond even though the LTE network isn't up. (Phones are running on 3G). In theory, if the device is unlocked, you should be able to put an nTelos LTE SIM in the device and it should work. (I went by my local Richmond store and got a SIM card for my iPhone 5 and upgraded my wife's S2 to a Moto X). I can switch the SIMs back and forth between the two devices with no issues. I am trying to find someone with an unlocked N5 here in my area to test my theory, but the only person I know who has one is on T Mobile, and we work opposite schedules, so it's almost impossible to meet up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviwhite9:
Thanks so much for your info! I knew nTelos was launching LTE sometime but here in WV it'll be years before we see anything. If you do find that it works and you have time could you report back? I would really appreciate it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letterboxdreams:
You might not have to wait as long as you think. nTelos has launched LTE in Bluefield and Bexley in WV. The person who I spoke with also said that the remainder of the network should be launched by EOY 2014. I saw on an investor relations report that the actual claim is 70% POP coverage. The rumor that the rep told me was hopefully June/July for LTE here in Richmond.

I'll keep you posted on the N5! :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Once you do meet up, the T-mobile / Unlocked aspect shouldn't really be an issue as the T-mobile device is the same unlocked device that everyone else in North America has. So far, no locked N5's have turned up
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letterboxdreams:
Well, that's positive news! nTelos uses band class 10 for CDMA and LTE bands 2, 4, and 25, so in theory, when an nTelos SIM is placed in the phone, it should register and work without issues.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yep, but theory and practice are 2 different things :p

I do like the snap dragon 800 though, meaning there is only a requirement to have 2 devices worldwide. I'm pretty sure soon, qualcomm will be able to support more than the maximum 7 on one radio chip and maybe soon we'll start to see one worldwide device per release. That would be great. Until some other country decides to shun global standards and invents their own band :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letterboxdreams:
Exactly. :) Hopefully it will work though because I am interested in getting an N5. I have a nano SIM in my iPhone 5 and my wife has the same in her Moto X, but I do have a SIM adapter so, barring any setbacks, I should know this weekend if it will work.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviwhite9:
Well that's great. I just didn't figure we'd get anything soon because even AT&T doesn't have LTE here yet. I'm really hoping what you heard is true though. Thanks for keeping me updated. :good::laugh:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nathanscomputerservice:
I do. I am an nTelos dealer and flasher with my own flashing site going live as we speak. It can be done if you have CDMA workshop, otherwise I take mail-ins.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviwhite9:
That's awesome! Link to your site? I'll check out when I can. I actually do have CDMA Workshop but no idea how to use it or what all I need to set up on the phone with it. I was afraid to go ahead and buy the phone because I didn't know if I could get it working.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letterboxdreams:
Ok... So I had a friend attempt to try a Sprint variant of the N5 which he got at Best Buy... No dice. Couldn't figure out the carrier settings and it wouldn't make calls either. I tried a Play Store edition yesterday... Also, no dice. Same situation.... I have another friend that works at T Mobile that is going to grab one for me to try. I'm not giving up hope!!! I'm sure there is a way to get it to work, but when you go to network settings, if only allows you to connect to AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T Mobile and 311 660 which I think is Metro PCS. There has to be a way to change the settings to be able to recognize the nTelos SIM card. The N5 supports CDMA Band Classes 0/1/10 and LTE bands 2/4/25, which should cover nTelos.... Not sure if the device is domestically locked to those certain carriers, and the international version would be a better try (I think it is only GSM though), but if someone can brainstorm a work around, I'd love to hear it! :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letterboxdreams:
Ok... Here we go... I might have stumbled upon something here on XDA that might help us out. I'm still researching it, but I wanted to post my findings here so that if anyone else s interested in looking into it, you can. You may have already seen this, and someone here commented about CDMA Workshop, and that is involved, so maybe (s)he could chime in and give us a helping hand as well?

The first link I came across was:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2619312

This looks to be a trial and error guide. I MAY be able to get my hand on some of the files that may be needed with a little digging around and some schmoozing with nTelos employees, so we will see what happens. :)

I posted in that thread to see if it will only operate on CDMA, or if it will switch over to LTE when it goes live (as long as there is a sim card in it). Waiting on a reply, so hopefully we will hear something back soon!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviwhite9:
Ok well good deal! I hope you can get it working. Little word of advice though, all the phones are the same. Sprint, Play Store, doesn't matter they're the same.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letterboxdreams:
Ok, well, I have gotten my hands on a Verizon S3 (boo for the locked bootloader), and when I throw my nTelos SIM card it in, it works for talk and text immediately, which isn't surprising, b/c the device is unlocked. You do get the Non-Verizon SIM message in the notification bar though. Well, anyways, I was able to take my jailbroken iPhone 5 and use an APN editor and recover the APN settings for it. I entered those into the S3 and BLAM! It worked! Data kicked over immediately!

Now here's my thought process... The S3 took the SIM for talk and text without issue, while the N5 wouldn't even read for that.... Even though the N5 is supposedly unlocked, could it still be locked down to the bigger providers, and not allow a SIM card from a smaller carrier, such as nTelos? I have heard of rumors of AIO Wireless SIM cards working, but that is an AT&T MVNO. I haven't seen anywhere posted that someone from, say, Alaska Wireless, or Cspire, or Republic Wireless using the N5.

Now, if there's a way to "unlock" the device to work with additional carriers, that would be great, but I'm not sure where to start even looking for any of that information. most comments you read about the N5 state that it is unlocked to use anyone's SIM card, which obviously isn't true. The phone seems like it wants to pre-configure itself with the SIM card. I did see a thread somewhere that people are able to get the N5 to work on Straight Talk on LTE with redoing the APN settings.

I need to get my hands on another N5 and replace the APN settings with the nTelos LTE APN settings and see if that works. If I can get that done, I'll let everyone know!!!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letterboxdreams:
Ok... Here we go again... I'm posting here more of a "think out loud" type of post. I was digging through the Nexus 5 Q&A thread, and I came across something that might help out. *#*#4636#*#* That is supposedly how you get into the settings for an LG device to be able to change it's network type. I'm wondering that since I missed doing that with the last one that I had my hands on, if that might be why it didn't read my SIM card. I went by my local nTelos store last night to see if it worked on all LG devices since they have the F7 on display. I was able to go in and change it while I was playing with the phone. Some of the settings completely borked the reception, which is what I was hoping, but others worked just fine. I'm going to try and go by a local Best Buy later today and try it out on a display model there to see what I come up with. I'll post back here once I figure something else out. :)

I accidentally deleted the file from the latest upload, correcting it now and reuploading.

Not as far as I know, once you change the DPI for the Google Search it will change for everything in the entire launcher, and since the launcher itself doesn't have an option for changing it I don't think it's possible without hacking the app, which is beyond my knowledge.

The only phone app I found anywhere, didn't do much so I got rid of it.

You must've done something wrong. It's the first time I heard of anything like this happening.
