CF Auto root works amazingly well. It will unlock your bootloader if not done already then root. PSA:If you bootloader is not unlocked it WILL wipe your device.

its almost like people dont know how to do anything with fastboot commands anymore :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
I find it to be more trouble to use an auto-tool than it is to simply open up a command window and "fastboot oem unlock".

Phew, tough. :laugh:

The best question of all for these people who want to do that without learning how to easily use fastboot is: what purpose are you rooting it for? I can't imagine what you could be doing that doesn't involve doing some simple learning about how fastboot and adb work.

I have seen a couple of comments around here about wifi problems.

I am not only seeing wifi drop for no reason at all but also having great difficulty in getting any signal at all for phone calls/texts.

Have other people experienced this and are there any ways to fix it?

I have unlocked bootloader and rooted but havnt flashed anything at all, I haven't even got a custom recovery.

Any help will be appreciated as this is currently making my phone useless :(

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norside:
Hello! I have had my g2 d802 for around a month now, and I have noticed a blue tint when I am viewing it from the side.. When I tilt it to the other side it began to be yellow. At its worst the screen is "washed out". So I am wondering if this is normal? Or is it a hardware problem?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
Are you using a screen protector?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norside:
No. No screen protectors..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiguy99:
Are you able to go to a store to compare your phone with a working display model? I'd check there first to see if the display model has a better screen than yours. Chances are your screen may be defective. You'll know right away if its good or not
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norside:
Anyone else who is having this? Im just wondering if its worth sending it in for that. Really happy with the phone otherwise, and haven't dropped it either :S

Thanks for all answers!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norside:
Yes, I should probably do that. I am around 40km away from a store where I can try one, but I will probably go there and check. I read that this phone had pretty good viewing angles so it might be defective..:/
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cggorman:
Just guessing here, but did you come from a Samsung device or any other with (AM)OLED screen tech?

That tech is self illuminating and doesn't exhibit the off-axis effects typical of even the very best LCD displays.

It's normal for a LCD display to wash out and/or color shift off axis.

As to whether or not yours is typical, I can't say.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norside:
Ok, might just that the screen is like this. The only solution here is probably just to compare it with another G2 then..

[Sony Xperia ZR] dsa88:
I hope Sony only "forgot" to mention ZR as well. No way they can ditch OS upgrades in less than 6 months old product. December is announced for 4.3 so early next year I'm expecting to see OTA 4.4 update on my ZR.

I think it's the marketing trick only due to new Z1 mini which is newer, more expensive and that's where Sony would like primary to gain profit instead of cheaper ZR which is a fantastic phone and fantastically unbelievable underrated.

Anyways, it's currently top selling (Android) mobile device in Japan, around 7% of whole market new sales, ahead of S4, S3, htc. So, no reason to abandon it so early.

Probably due language barrier / ROMs are in Japanese only.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jeremykersh:
One of the things that held me back from the nexus 4 was the fact there was no way to expand the memory. Thankfully they doubled availability in this one.. I still here even reviewers complaining the 32 should have been 64. I just found this article http://t.co/2mqKLd5RAo scandisk has a wireless flash card. So you can pretty much have as much storage as you want to buy! I up getting the nexus with 32 GB but with wireless card I'd be happy even with the 16 GB. Super stoked I have options to not be capped with the unexpandable memory :)

[Sony Xperia ZL] vv91xv:
Sony Mobile has just confirmed that it plans to update ten Xperia handsets to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean from December 2013 onwards. The handsets on the list includes the Xperia Z series (Z, ZL, ZR, Z Ultra, Z1 and Tablet Z) along with the Xperia SP. It also confirmed that a number of older handsets will also get Android 4.3 including the Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V.

A number of recent lower-end handsets have not made the list at all though, including the Xperia L, Xperia M and Xperia C. The Xperia L and Xperia M should be able to handle the upgrade, so maybe Sony has decided not to update these handsets given their positioning. This would be a shame though especially since they only launched within the last six months. The Xperia C has limited availability so we can understand if that was left off due to commercial reasons. We’ll keep you posted as the countdown to the Android 4.3 update commences.

[General Questions and Answers] RustyWedges:
The majority of the videos I take with my GN2 are at concerts. While the visual aspects are excellent, the audio clips and kind of ruins the video.

Is there anyway to prevent this?
[Nexus 5 General] slickromeo:
So after experimenting with My Nexus5. I have noticed something rather fascinating...... instead of explaining it, I figure its best to just give an example of what I am seeing. But first, i'll list the steps you'll need to do in order to replicate this.

1. open google voice app, goto settings, then 'sync and notifications', then click "receive text messages", and checkmark "via the messaging app"

ok, now to the examples: lets say your mobile number is 555-5555, and your gvoice number is 555-5557.

Examples

Ex #1) someone texts your gvoice 555-5557 number. when hangouts receives this text, it will appear as if it came from another number (for example 916-538-4889), but in the text preview snippet, you'll see the name of the person texting you (assuming this person is in your contacts list, otherwise it'll show their true phone number)

#1a) replying to this text, you'll be indeed texting some unknown intermediary google number, which presumably google owns, however this redirects your text to your recipient and it will send that person a text message, and the person who receives it will see that you texted them from your google voice number (555-5557)

Ex #2) someone texts your regular mobile number 555-5555, you'll receive it like normal....... and when you reply to this text message, your recipient will receive your text like as if it came from your regular mobile number 555-5555.

Ex #3) and then of course, the hangouts app also sends/receives hangout messages.

In other words........ I've manged to send/receive gvoice, regular text, and hangout messages all from the same app.

The implementation could be a little better. however, it at least exists !

P.S.

as a bonus, its nice to setup your voicemail so that you can view and play voicemails from the phone call log instead of going into google voice to play your voicemails or instead of calling a number to listen to them.
[Nexus 5 General] y2whisper:
Won't let me change it to the messaging app. Don't get a lot of texts through gvoice regardless. but thanks for the heads up.
[Nexus 5 General] Johmama:
This is very pertinent to my interests, however I kind of knew this is how it would all happen. I just wish they would integrate the Voice app with Hangouts. The big problem with this scenario is starting an SMS conversation with someone. If I want to text someone that hasn't already sent me a text message, there is no way to show my Voice number instead of my devices' number. I need them to text me first because then that provides a Google routing number to reply to. Unless I'm missing something, then please let me know, I'd love to use Hangouts with my Voice number.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
This is nothing amazing or special. GV would let you receive your messages through your sms app. Now that Hangouts is your sms app, your messages would go there. That is not integration at all.

Intgration would be removing the GV app and everything going through hangouts.
[Nexus 5 General] slickromeo:
[MENTION=5202924]Johmama[/MENTION], it appears this isn't full integration.... because apparently you would have to use the google voice app to send the initial text. However at the very least once they reply, you can forevermore use the hangouts app, and all your texts go through SMS (not using data), and they will see your texts from your gvoice number, even though you sent it through hangouts.
[Nexus 5 General] ubigred:

Not working here. I can select the "messaging app" to receive google voice texts, but it still is only sending to GV not hangouts, without any notifications in either.
[Nexus 5 General] 0vermind:
This has been a feature of Google Voice since Google bought Grand Central and it isn't new. I can have texts forwarded to a dumb flip phone. What I hate is A) The random numbers, and B ) The "Anna Rills - Yeah I know what you mean"

The reason I like Google Voice is being able to archive texts, throwing messages in Spam, and automatic spam block thanks to Google's algorithms.

Hello,

Is there a list somewhere where is explained wich operator has wich model/Rom for the qtek9000 ?

Is it so that every operator has it's own (locked) ROM version ?

In my believe the list is like this. Please provide the things I forget.

1. Qtek 9000 = Universal = UNI ROM ? (not locked)

2. Imate = JasJar = JasJar ROM (I-mate locked)

3. T-Mobile = MDA Pro = T-mobile ROM (T-mobile locked)

4. O2 = XDA-exec = O2 launchROM (O2 Locked) Not for sale in Holland ?

5. Orange = SPV M5000 (Orange locked) Not for sale in Holland.

rooting KitKat

Hi all,

After reading a bit here on XDA, it seems that kitkat has a boot CRC to prevent rooting if the boot-loader is locked.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-4-4-security-enhancements/

Now I know our bootloader is not locked, but I understand that we can't build a custom kernel either.

So it is not obvious to me. What are the challenges to rooting a P6 with kit-kat installed?

Any ideas?
