[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergotelis:
Hi, i looked upon all the available roms, is anyone particular more gsm friendly?Or all of them are the same?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
CM 10.1 works fine with GSM, just edit build.prop to comment out CDMAv7LTE (something like that, it's near the bottom) by adding a # in front of the line. I have used my XT926 on TMobile via this method (with the RadioComm hack to unlock TMo.) You will probably have to enter an APN to get data, but that's trivial. You can leave the CDMAv7 thing commented out while on VZW, doesn't seem to have any ill effect.

CM 10.2 is more work to get on GSM, nobody has reported if the issues have been fixed with the latest M1 build.

making xt926 rom work on xt925

I tried to get the Blur rom to work on my xt925 with minimal success. It works and data works but its flaky and reboots mean toggling the netork mode to get data re-working.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cpudan80:
But according to the OP - he's got an XT926...
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamMarkTodd:
Yes I realize this ROM was made for the xt926. I also know there are no hardware differences between the 2. people keep referencing the thread called "how to get xt926 roms working on xt925" but It doesnt work good enough. It works and wifi and 4g DO work, but the transitions between the 2 suck and toggling between GSM and global network mode is required after a reboot even with the build.prop edit and a factory reset.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foolishfocus:
I was running CM 10.1.3 with no issues. I was attempting to connect my Exchange E-mail account and it said that it needed to encrypt the files, not a big deal, I have had to do this in the past. It starts to do its thing but I see no progress bar like I am used to, just the CM logo spinning. I thought there was a problem and restarted the phone (big mistake) and now I am getting a message that there was an Encryption Error and it tells me to reboot the phone and then reformat. It reboots but goes right back to the message. I boot into recovery mode and attempt to load the .zip from SD card. I get an error "E: can't mound/sdcard". So I'm thinking I need to sideload instead. I download the SDK per some instructions on the internet, install the platform-tools and the USB drivers. I think everything is where it needs to be, I connect the phone, find the ADB.exe file, run a command prompt, type ADB devices but I get nothing.

Please let me know where to go from here!!!

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I don't know if this is a common problem but every time I try to flash a new ROM, my AOSP keyboard won't open. I get the window saying it's not working.. I can't type in any of my gmail info to get my contacts. I can't type anything at all. Anyone know of a way to fix this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boomer1204:
keyboard issue

I had similar problems. The big thing is if you are switching between different types of development (ei. Pacman to Slim Bean or something like that) make sure you have the gapps for that build. Secondly make sure you have the right build of gapps. Like on Liquidsmooth for 2.9 you need gapps 3/10 and for v2.10 you need gapps 8/13. Those are the most common things that would cause this.

Also make sure you wipe factory data, wipe cache and wipe davlik cache when switching between different builds (Pacman, Slim Bean, LIquid smooth and the like)

Hope that helps

Also, I have a few questions.

1. Do I need ADB for Android on OSX?

2. Can I use an microSD card instead of putting the device into download mode and add a partition?

3. What is "pit file" and what is "dave as dialoge"? Is this file a pit file? (http://d-h.st/bCi)

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zibrah3ed:
1. No I did not even use it myself.

2. You are writing to a partition that already exists on your device. Out of the box you have arecovery partition with samsung/googles stock recovery. You are overwriting this with a custom one to gain the ability to flash roms and root your device.

3. See attached image. Look at the box in the left middle portion of the screen that is titled download pit and notice the button that is labeled save as. Dave as was a typo I didn't catch.

4. The second screenshot is a visual aid for the last part of my original steps.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeroxy:
Hi, thank you so much for the answers!!! I have one additional question as I was confused about the "download mode" you've mentioned below:

I tried holding power+vol down+home buttons and it mutes the device instead of putting it into "download mode." Is there other ways to put the device into download mode? Perhaps the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 doesn't have a "download mode?"
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zibrah3ed:
No that is the right key combination. It can sometimes be hard to accomplish. Should boot to a screen warning you off custom software and do you really want to continue. It's the same mode you have to enter for Odin to work.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kkk737:
Hello all.

About a week ago I finally updated my Xperia Mini Pro to 4.0.4. I'm really liking how sleek everything looks etc. but battery life has been reduced dramatically. According to the battery usage stats, the main culprit seems to be Google Services, keeping my phone awake for 10+ hours.

At first it was using around 15-18%, then over the course of two days or so it reached a whopping 55%, more than the screen. Since then it has stabilized at around 40%.

I looked all over for a solution but nothing has worked so far.

I uninstalled Google Play Services, I have force stopped + disabled + cleared the data for Bookmark Sync, Calendar Sync, Account Manager, Framework services etc.

I never use Maps/Latitude and Location is always off, along with any and all Sync options I could fine. I also don't have Google Now.

I've literally tried everything I could think of/find online.

Help! :crying:

also deactivate playstore notifications for apss updates

So This is my first post on the forum.

Every time I plug in my phone it doesn't go into fastboot. yes I'm doing it right. You turn off your phone, hold the search button and then plug in the cord. But no blue light. It just charges. And I can go into flashmode just fine. I think it might have something to do with the drivers I installed. And it stinks because I can't unlock my bootloader so I can't root my phone.

I just didn't know if there's an app or a program that could put my phone in fastboot.

Or if you know what I could do that would be helpful.

I would call the carrier first and request the unlock code explaining the situation. If they won't give it to you, get it carrier unlocked.

Tmobile should give it to you though as their TOS claims they will if it is paid off and not in contract.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TavisC:
Evening everyone

I'm looking to get a new phone. My current one Evo V has terrible battery life, and the bezel is starting to come off, due to being dropped. It's just in a generally sorry state, and I want to upgrade. I've been looking at the Galaxy S3 on Virgin Mobile. I have a few questions, namely:

Which category should I be looking at for roms?

Since I don't have the phone yet, I'm unsure of the model, etc, so I'm not entirely sure which forum I should be looking in.

Can I use Sprint roms?

If I active, and then root/flash/etc, is there any reason I can't/shouldn't use a Sprint rom? I know I'd have to change the APN to work with VM MMS. Are there any VM specific roms that I should use instead?

Is there any reason I shouldn't get this phone?

This is mainly for my own peace of mind. I know it's a great phone, but I don't want to drop ~300$ if I can get something with the same amount of dev support, for less.

Thanks everyone!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabhjots:
Go to settings- about phone - model number.

You can ONLY use ROMs made for your model.

Flashing ROMs not made for your phome model will definitely mess up your phone and may even lead to a permanent, unrecoverable hardbrick.

Read the stickies. All the best.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TavisC:
Thanks for the quick replay, but as I stated in OP, I haven't bought a phone yet. Therefore I can't check the model number. I was really hoping someone with some VM experience would see this and be able to give me a definitive answer.

And yeah, I know you should only ever flash roms made for your specific model. However, a lot of VM phones are Sprint models, with rebranded face plates and the like. Usually Sprint roms can be flashed on them, though with limited usability.

I managed to install google's photosphere camera from jelly bean 4.3 on my samsung galaxy camera (GC-EK100).

However while taking photospheres i notice some slightly auto spinning - resulting in weird screwed spheres, since the camera thinks it was rotated, while is what not. Usually i end up with the top half rotated 90 degrees against the lower half.

So i take one shot for the sphere and place the camera on a still surface - it starts rotating (the screen, not the camera, of course).

Any idea?

I already used motion calibration from setting menu, which did not change anything. Any other way to "calibrate" this? Does the motion calibration work on this, because the app seems to be portrait only?
