Hey, guys. I have a problem with odin. I use odin 1.85 or 3.09 and so far it went very well. I began to flash a firmware and I got this message: "odin3 communicator stopped”… Same thing on another computer. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you.

I'd like to have an answer from the experts ...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burrid:
Greetings,

At the moment I have a nexus 4 and I'm quite happy about it, though some things could be better. I was wondering if the upgrade is worth it though? I can sell my nexus 4, and get a nexus 5 for 180€ extra. I know the big changes (screen, dimensions, camera, looks). But what about the little changes that matter to me. Is the speaker much better? How about microphone, call quality, wifi reception, loose hardware keys and pressability, scratch resistance of the back (do I need a bumper or not), slippery resistance of the back, touch responsiveness (nexus 4 wasn't very sensitive). Also softwareside (although nexus 4 will be getting it as well), I wondered if the google play store lost it dedicated soft key in the app drawer? And how do you place your widgets at the screen?

If some of these little irks can be solved, I'll be thankful!

Edit: I've ordered it anyway, but I would still like to have some feedback.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Pretty much the same quandary here. I ordered one but am having second thoughts. Had the Nexus 4 for almost a year and have been very happy with it. My only major complaint is that I get better cell reception on my old RAZR... especially when I am holding it.

I thought I'd try sprint via Ting to see if I get better service than T-Mobile, but now I am seeing remarks that Ting won't be able to activate it. Since it's still an lg, I am doubtful the radios will be any better, and as I am rarely in an LTE service area, no real benefit there. But if they are noticeably better that would be a big plus.

No real interest in more pixels as my eyes see the Nexus 4 screen as being just fine. I'm sure I'd appreciate the better camera, but have no real complaints about the Nexus 4 camera.

I rarely use the speaker as it is so unusable, but the HTC One is so far the only phone I've used that has usable speakers and am less than confident the Nexus 5 will be anywhere in that league.

This thread would probably be better served in the Nexus 4 forum.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
That thread wouldn't be any helpful in the n4 forum. If you post here they'll say yeah because they got the n5 and if you're on the n4 they'll say stay. Either way you're going to get biased posts.

I'd say just go ahead and do it. It's a upgrade in every way. Think of it as a upgrade for your phone. I went for it because I'm a nexus fan boy and love the look of the nexus 5 so I went for it.

Plus. I'm not too much of a fan of the vibration on the nexus 4. It is severely weak for me
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onismurai:
720p vs 1080p ( 318 ppi vs 445 ppi)

1.5 Ghz Quad vs 2.3 Ghz Quad

A crappy camera vs a much better version camera (same 8mp)

2100 mAh vs 2300 mAh (same sh!t IMO)

And 4.4 KitKat with fastest update from Google (main point).

Go for it, just ~$400. Or you want some kind of $600 with 4.2 Android?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It's your money what do you think
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
I was torn as well and i can only tell you my reasoning. I also upgraded from a 16GB to 32GB. hated running out of room so damn fast with 16GB.

-Much better camera, in tests shots it destroys the N4

-Better battery life, in tests i've seen done and the official specs it's better than the N4 with LTE on. Now the battery is not much bigger but the better battery life is due to the processor and changes in android.

-dual speakers should bring a much louder device, and better sounding

For me, from what I've seen from people who have it, it fixes all of my hates on the N4, i wish it was smaller but so be it, at least it's not insanely larger than the N4.

it's up to each individual for what you want to do. If you go for off contract phones and you want to upgrade, this is your best bet right now unless your willing to spend the $700 on a GS4 or something similar, in my opinion.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
No need for more storage, but I did order the 32 ;)

Can you link to those test shots? Everything I've seen thus far hasn't impressed me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
yeah for me it's mostly just OCD of seeing less than 2GB. Plus unless it can get USBOTG i'll need that space if i ever want to put some movies or shows on it. Admittedly i don't do it often, but it's nice to know you can.

Anyway, here are the test shots i saw and i was very happy. Is it a DSLR? no, but IMO it's a lot better than the N4 and on par with most of the others, if not slightly better in some tests.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Its worth upgrading if you can afford it. KitKat is running so well on my N4 so I decided to stick with it a little longer.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I think in general it would run quite well for most devices as they optimized it more to work for devices with less ram. But yeah for the most part, nexus 4 is pretty smooth running kit Kat. The only upgrade would be the device itself in terms of screen size and some other nice small additions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davey11:
Someone else's 'worth it' probably isn't the same as your 'worth it'.

Seeing average prices on swappa for n4's are about $250, the n5 will be quite affordable after selling the n4.

Snapdragon 800 come to papa. ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
Seems Ting hasn't worked out the Nexus 5 yet, so I canceled my order.

I'll continue to use the Nexus 4 on t-mobile until that happens.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] megaman81:
Yes, you should definitely upgrade if you have money to spare. I sold my nexus 4 last weekend and got the nexus 5 today. totally worth it!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tone-Fu:
I just upgraded my Nexus 4 to a Nexus 5 and, while I was cautious at first, I think I made the right choice.

The N5 feels much brisker, the screen's much brighter and higher quality and the camera is...an improvement, albeit a small one. The biggest issue for me was getting the Snapdragon 800, which should be reasonably future proof.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze599:
Hi everyone

This isn't a typical question, but for those of you that mount your phone in the car and make calls, does the microphone pick you up fine? I will get a car in a while and I was wondering if I should get some sort of Bluetooth car kit if the microphone built in to the phone isn't up to scratch while driving.

I already have a cheap Bluetooth module that outputs all the phones sound through the cars aux input, but I don't know about the phones microphone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] trancefreak64:
- I am in the employee advantage club so obtaining phones is a little different or somewhat harder in some cases being that you have to wait for the employee to approve it.

-Anyways I had my HTC ONE set up perfected, but the camera was becoming increasingly worse with the purplelicious pictures.

-Picked up my phone today from my contact @ sprint and it was all sealed nothing was out of place and it looked good.

-First things first checked the hboot, baseband and android version which is on I 1.44 and android 4.1.2 and so I was happy.

-First thing I noticed the dang power button was messed up when I pressed it it would sag to the right and go inside the phone. I called sprint to activate it the phone once I got it on and it took about an hour of changing ## numbers. Finally good but...

-Now I am thinking maybe i can live with the power button but i noticed something else; there was now vibration from the phone what so ever. I checked every single dang option and everything is enabled but still no vibration. Well I called sprint and gave them my rant about their quality and assurance control which I was very pissed about after waiting sometime for the replacement. Then called my Sprint contact to reorder another phone but this licks. My phone was in prestigous condtion despite the camera and I receive a much far worse phone in return.

Anyways end Rant-

I am curuious if anyone else has had a similar issue with the vibration function not working or just receiving a shady phone all together.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flomexico:
I've been lucky. My first phone blew the top speaker but my second one is perfect. Neither of them had the camera issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Had my phone repaired. It came back with scratches (yes, scratches that I KNOW were caused after they opened and processed it), and gaps, and glue out the corners, and a crappy power button. It was dropped once by a person I was showing it to (had taken the case off just for them) and who tried to press the power button, resulting in it falling onto hard tile from ~5 feet.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] trancefreak64:
I must say I have been lucky as well in the past especially with my OG EVO'. They sent brand new ones no questions asked. I didnt have to use Total Protection either for the defects.

I never knew that the purple haze was really an issue. A lot of photos without a quality camera don't work well at night unless you are good at tweaking. Unfortunately mine was getting progressively worse even in good lighting conditions. Sprint will make it right, but it more less a convenience issue. I thought I scored too with the 1.44 Hboot hopefully the next one will have the same Hboot.

I took the firmware update on the defective phone. I get much better battery life on android 4.3 IMO. I wish I could walk in the store and say my phone is tweaked can I get another and call it a day, but being in the discount program with the huge savings I am considered an employee and have to wait for regular or new consumers to get items first.

Thanks for the stories and replies.

Not satisifed with support of PocketX

Hello,

i´m not satisfied with the support of PocketX (Lisa especially).

A few days ago i asked her to send me the beta for WM5 but she answered that the beta testing period is over and that "in a few days" the new version will be released.

Now i read in this thread that other users got the beta if they have purchased an old version.

So, i purchased today v3.2 via Handango and asked Lisa again to send me the beta (because i need this program urgent).

And again her answer was:

"Hi Adrian,

Our beta period is now over. We are releasing a new version of Photo Contacts PRO in a few days. It will be compatible with Windows Mobile 5.

Check our website on Thursday and you will be able to upgrade for free:

http://www.pocketx.net/products/photocontactspro_ppc

Best Regards,

Lisa"

I´m totally dissatisfied with the support of PocketX and i can´t understand their customer politics. If the release of v4.0 is on thursday why aren´t they willing to give me the beta ? :evil:

I hope that some of the responsibles of the PocketX Software company will read this !

Bye, Pyro

P.S. Perhaps could be one of the beta testers be so kind and email me a copy of it because i promised the CEO of my company to show him this app tomorrow !

This is the reason why my concern is so urgent :cry:

If you have ROM toolbox installed on your gear go to app manager and use option called +apk installer that might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] adoublearonn:
Edit I missed an important point in your post. Delete.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] CWeaver34:
This is because the Gear uses Android Settings but ripped all of the important stuff, such as developer tools, out of it. Currently, the only way is to sideload
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Fusius:
If you copy the .apk file into the /system/app folder and reboot, the app will be installed automatically. I've done it for a few apps so far.

You can also go into your Gear Manager app, go to Settings and check the "Unknown Sources" checkbox under the Security option. (Which is way easier).
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] CWeaver34:
Might I ask where this is then? I don't have any option for Unknown Sources
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
You need to be running v1.4+ of gear manager (check link in my sig to download)

Doesn't make any difference for me though :(

Thank you

Root your At&t Note 3 fast and easy.

If I'm not supposed to post stuff like this sorry. But here y'all go...>>

One click Root keep KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0 without losing data for android 4.3 jelly bean and other version of android OS.

This is the easiest method to root Samsung galaxy S4 and Samsung galaxy Note3

without voiding KNOX warranty, Just one click and you are done

PLEASE, don't ask if your device is supported or not, Just try it !

Steps :

1- Download and install Samsung Kies or Samsung Mobile driver

2- Download and install "VROOT"

3- On your device go to Settings/More/About device/

4- Tap 5 times on "build number" to enable "Developer option"

5- Enable "USB Debug Mode" from developer options

6- Connect your device to PC by USB cable and wait until "VRoot" display the model of your device

7- Click the green Button and wait few seconds

8- After it reboot, you can unplug USB cable

Enjoy ROOT

Notes :

- This method of root won't delete any data but backup your important data just in case of the process corrupt your data

- System status of your device will be changed to custom

- After Rooting you will not be able to update your device via OTA

- Use it at your own risk, I'm not responsible if something goes wrong

- "VROOT" support more than 3500 several android devices (Samsung, HTC, Sony, Motorola, ...)

- This won't reset KNOX if you already void KNOX warranty.

This works for At&t for sure. This is what I'm using and it's sick. Nice clean up options integrated. Love this. Just needs the English update which is coming soon.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
Just so y'all know. This works on our At&t Note 3's. I just did this method and it took maybe 2 mins. Everything is fine and now I can do what I want.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkeaver:
yeah your right it does work however now there is chinese notifications everytime something tries to gain root and the first samsung screen is changed to display custom with a lock on it. I recommend that people still use DG's method. I dont know if I totally trust this. I may have to reload to get this off mine.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
Your still going to be custom status. This just faster and the Knox stuff is not tripped. Vroot or Kingo Root. As far as the Chinese stuff, I have root and this superuser is fine. I will change later to maybe supersu. I have froze all the bloat running my battery down and I'm loving root. It has begun

Ps. Have you ever used viper4android? It also has this look but works great if not one of the best.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkeaver:
Changing to supersu at the moment isn't allowed. I cannot install the binaries for it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:
We should be able to change soon. Right now it doesn't matter to me. This works fine. More ways and work arounds will be out soon, look how fast this and Kingo added in the mix. (I didn't try Kingo) this one was so fast and does the job period.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyColdJohnson:

Anybody want to do this too?

I did it....Here is what I did.

Uninstalled Superuser (Vroot Superuser used) using Titanium Back Up

Rebooted phone

Used Kingo Root

It asked if I wanted to uninstall root > Hit YES

Then reboot phone and Kingo.

Run Kingo and let the Root Begin !!!

It works and I have SuperSU now.....ENGLISH....
