This is very odd. I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I've done the same on wap.cingular AND others (but no mobile broadband even in the list on my apns) and I've browsed, bittorrented, etc all without issue from a real pc with no user agent hack. Again that was i9100 (tw and aosp), n4 and now n5. To be fair I don't think I've tethered a pc on the n5 yet but my tablets were fine. Maybe because I've got no contact they let me get away with more (doubtful) OR your Samsung ROM restored the apns to default from the Sim on you at some point and added the mobilebroadband apn to the list.

I HAVE been detected on tmo tethering because they detect via browser user agent. ATT does not require a spoofed user agent, as far as I can tell it's ONLY via that apn. So without mobilebroadband in your apn list you should be safe at least on a nexus or other non-carrier\aosp device.

I tether all the time with my Galaxy Express and S4. While on Jury duty I tethered for 7 hours. I never did anything to hide my tethering, just used an app that side steps the phone home thing. I'm on the GoPhone $35 plan, both my phones have been moded to use the dumb phone plans.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] teberz:
okay so when i power up my phone the system freezes at the modified boot logo. Normally this wouldnt be a problem because i could just flash a new rom from recovery and start it back up. But, i used odin to update clockwork. the phone wasn't able to reboot all of the way and got stuck in that loop, i think it messed up CWM somehow. Whenever i try to get into recovery the blue letters at the top left of the screen come on and then it just goes blank.

is there any way that i can get my phone back to normal using odin?

any suggestions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Flash the firmware. Odin primary purpose.

Slim Armor

Great Feel

Great Fit 100% everything lines up nice.

No kickstand

Nice Look

Button feel really good.

Seems well protected

there are plenty of post with more pics

Kaycase with kickstand

http://www.amazon.com/KAYSCASE-ArmorBox-Heavy-Cover-Google/dp/B00EVERGX0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383855740&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+5+kayscase

Very slim for a case with a kickstand only added thickness is because of the kickstand.

Feels plasticy, kind of Cheap, but the grip with the ridges is nice.

Fit is good everything lines up, I'll give it a 95% I just don't like the fit of the hard backing part

Buttons are hard to press, that's because of the not so rubber case, like i said feels kind of plasticy

Kickstand is Great nothing that's going to fall apart, only one angle

Looks are OK they aren't winning any style contest,

I need kickstand, however I'm going to keep looking for something better, and I'll be sticking with the Slim Armor.

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dubak123:
Hello,

I have recently bought a brand new xperia SP but after about 15 minutes the phone froze for a few seconds and than it restarted it self.

This keeps occuring every 5-15 minutes, I've returned the phone to the store, they sent it for a repair but when it came back the seller claimed that the phone is all right and there is nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

I still get these freezes and restarts and i'ts annoing as hell.

Uninstalling all of the apps that could be uninstalled did not help.

Uninstalling all the updates on apps did not help.

Factory reset did not help.

Re-installing the stock rom (via xperia update) did not help.

Removing sim card did not help.

Removing SD card did not help.

Using different launcher did not help.

Any other suggestions?

Also do I loose my warranty if I install pureness rom but I don't unlock the boot loader?

Thank you :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
No you wont loose your warranty. I suggest you try another ROM to see if that was the problem.

Hello,

Since several days I've been reading on the forums on how to upgrade my Qtek9090.

Now I want to get busy on it, but none of the links on the home page under the "software and tools" section work for me: they open a blank page, indicating "done" at the left bottom corner.

I've tried on different PC's and at different locations (home/work), but I can't eg. open the pages for ROMkitchen...

Is this a known issue or is it just me ;o)

Thanks,

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onisuk:
HI, the three network in the UK is rolling out 4G this weekend, what rom do I need to flash my nexus 4 with to get it working ???!!....I wan't super fast lol !!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle1b1:
I think it's only starting in like 3/4 cities if your lucky enough to live in one of the cities. Also nexus 4 only supports one band on 4g if your also lucky enough for three to be using the supported band.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
itll work on the n4 only if its band 4 lte, and no other frequency for lte. and its not about flashing a rom, its about flashing a hybrid radi, having the right apn, and changing the phine info to lte/gsm. there are threads that explain how to do it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onisuk:
Yes I live in London.....but since updating to the latest 4.3 I can no longer select 4g LTE in the service menu. How would I find out if three is using the correct band !????
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
for 4.3 the option is in the phone menu, . and you need to ask them what band they are using.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onisuk:
Yes but if I select LTE it just goes back to CDMA ....!? Goes anyone know the three 4G APN details !? What band goes it need to be to work !??? Sorry for all the questions lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanraven:
What frequency can the Nexis 4 pick up on Hybrid Radio?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
band 4 for lte only. the hybrid radio lets you use lte if band 4 is available.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanraven:
Do you know the frequency ? 1800mhz ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it goes back because you need to use either the .27 hybrid radio or the .33 hybrid radio. google disabled lte for 4.3, and you cant enable lte in the settings unless you are using one of the hybrid radios.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onisuk:
After a quick search its 800mhz band is that ok !??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanraven:
So it won't pick up Three mobiles 4G :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
again.. band 4 for lte only.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanraven:
Anyway it doesn't really matter the 4G chip in our phones doesn't work 100% apparently causes huge battery drain etc
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
nice rationalization, but not true. the chip works great, everything works. and since switching over to lte permanently, ive been seeing 6-7 hours screen on time regularly. imagine this, when you download things it takes time for it to finish downloading, especially large files. the slower data speed, the longer it takes. the longer it takes, the more battery is wasted. on lte, i average about 30mbps download speed, so downloads finish in seconds. so less battery is wasted. i download 2gb games from the play store in about 13-18 minutes. the newer lte chips are much better on battety than the old days, better than hspa+, hspa, 3g, and 2g.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanraven:
How can that be possible ? The LTE chip in the nexus 4 has no antenna or amplifier :/ hmm I'm baffled
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
doesnt need it? whatever it is, you dont hear complaints from lte users here in the states(mostly tmobile) about data signal or data speed for sure. and about battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onisuk:
Looks like I'm gonna have to get a nexus 5 then !!! Dam !!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scoobyracing03:
Battery life is the same with LTE enabled. My N4 has it enabled my wife hasn't let me to it to her's yet and our battery life is the same, but my data is much faster than her's. I get LTE signal with my N4 in the same places as I do with my Galaxy Tab 2. So I would say it works perfectly fine. Yes I am on T-mobile in case anyone was wondering.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
3 UK is going to use LTE band 3 and 20 only, so the nexus 4 will not support it (unless Google is going to release a Nexus 4 LTe version, which is pointless because you should get the Nexus 5 anyway.)

Many people are using LTE on their Nexus 4 including me, it only work with LTE band 4.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Smokecheck:
So I've bought 2 different cases for my Z1, the Case-Mate Tough Case and Krussell FrostCover. Both will serve their purposes, the Case-Mate is definitely more durable, but the Krussell is more sleek and lightweight, plus has access to the magnetic charging. The pictures should show the difference in size (which there is quite noticeable between them), plus the differences in port access/coverage. I personally like the FrostCover for every day use, and I'll throw on the Tough Case for when I'm doing things outdoors. Both have very good quality. The only issue I have so far is when the Case-Mate is on, the power/lock button is sort of hard to press, sometimes requiring several presses. The Krussell is made of a really good plastic, accidentally folded it in half and there is no visible damage or cracking.

I bought the Krussell from mobilefun for ~ $20 CAD, and the Case-Mate I got a deal for through a friend for ~ $15 CAD.

There are a few pictures that I'm uploading; all pictures with the cases on the phones were taken with a Nexus 5.

One thing to note (not sure if it deserves a totally separate post) is that while both screens are off they look a different colour. This can be seen in the last two pictures. Different screens used maybe?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] rezapatel:
Thanks for the review. Looking to get a decent case for my Xperia Z1 as well but no decent cases are available where I live (Karachi, Pakistan). I have had my eyes on Case-Mate Tough Case for a while but it looks pretty huge and makes an already large device larger. Will probably call for these cases from the next friend/relative who is coming from abroad (USA, UK, Canada, etc.).

And yes! I also notice the difference in screens. 1 seems to have a yellowish tint while the other is completely black. Does the yellowish screen Xperia Z1 (Krussell) have that yellow hue problem when the screen is on?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Smokecheck:
Actually the Z1 with the yellow tinted screen had the Case-Mate on it. But it's only slightly noticeable. I can try to take pictures of it again with the screen on tomorrow when I have access to the other phone.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dazza7111:
Thanks, hard choice, I prefer case mate touch but have just received a magnet usb charger hmm:confused:
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] JuicyBrah:
I have the white version of the frost cover but I hate it.

The fit is not perfect and there is some give and squeak on the sides.

The cutout beside the camera is there for no reason whatsoever and there's a cutout on the bottom back for the Xperia logo that is also pointless since the back is translucent.

The edges are sharp and easily gather dust.

Can anyone recommend a medium hardness translucent case like the poetic atmosphere? They don't make it for the Z1 yet.

Edit: Judging from your photos they both have that arbitrary opening next to the camera, why is that?
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] dazza7111:
yes its weird I have a book type case which only has cut out for camera on the back, Think I'm after same case as you lol
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TToivanen:
Sup guys!

I'm fixing my sister's Galaxy Mini 2 (European, Running 2.3.6 GB). I'm a Nexus guy so bare with me... :laugh:

So the mini 2 has trouble taking screenshots: when I hold power + home, the device makes the camera sound and displays the camera snap animation. Then a toast message appears saying there was a problem taking the screenie. No images get saved.

I grabbed a logcat:

W/System.err(27799): android.content.pm.PackageManager$NameNotFoundException: Application package [B]com.diotek.screen_capture2 not found[/B]

So could someone please take a look at their /system/app/ and see if there's something screen capture related there and maybe even upload it?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] MrMateczko:
There's no package named com.diotek.screen_capture2, on my mini 2, but there's a ScreenCaptureService.apk on my system/app, which is for taking screenshots. Check if it's there. Is the ROM branded in any way?

Best solution would to make a backup of everything, and install clean firmware via Odin. Is your mini2 with or without NFC?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TToivanen:
Thank you for the reply.

There is a package called ScreenCaptureService.apk on this device as well but it is tagged com.sec.android.app.screencapture and not com.diotek.screen_capture2.

The ROM is unbranded and the device has NFC.

I think I'm gonna back up and do a factory reset. If that fails, I'll flash the stock firmware via Odin.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comoc85:
Good afternoon ladies and gents.

I have been scouring the internets for a solution for this problem to no avail. I have been able to theme my Google Play Edition GS4 running stock 4.3 almost to perfection to look like KitKat. The only part that is killing me is the Navigation bar transparency. I can get it transparent with Gravity Box, but it is half transparent, half black. The half black bar, as you can see, really ruins the entire look of the home screen.

From what I can deduce, it is a launcher issue because when I scroll over to Google Now, it is full screen all the way down to the bottom of the nav bar. I have tried, with my limited knowledge of coding, to decompile the Google Home Launcher apk, but it looks like it is just an overlay for the main Android launcher; Launcher2.apk. I also decompiled that apk, but as I said, I have VERY limited knowledge of what I am even looking at. I made some blind modifications to a few thing I thought might fix the issue, but they didn't work.

This is slowly killing me. If there are any experienced modders that can help me out, I would really appreciate it. I know there are many other folks looking for a fix for this as well.

:good:THANKS!! :good:

P.S. I forgot to mention that it is not a wallpaper size issue either. I have tried many wallpaper setting apps that fit the wallpaper to the screen size with the same results.

Well this problem drives me crazy.

My phone (i9070) doesn't make any sound when I plug it on my computer or charger and no charging indication appears either on the phone.

On computer side device appears under the storage devices.

However is seems that the power connection is working since if I restart the phone while the power plug is still connected the charging indicator appears. In addition after the restart the battery seems to reach 100% extremely soon (which is not normal at all). Unplugging the charger (or the computer) doesnt detected either by phone, the charging indicator is still active until restart.

I tried to factory reset the device and still "no juice".

I have tried 3 different cables with two computers where the device was connected few days ago without any problem.

I don't know what should I suspect.

Faulty battery? Faulty data connection on phone plug? OS based issue? :eek:

I just got my Nexus 5 in the mail and have some questions about its screen

First, what's the material used for the screen?

Second, is anyone having some serious yeloow hue going on with their screens????

I own both the Z1 and the N5 now and will decide to sell one off in the near future. The Z1 was notorious for their yellow hue screen and comparing the N5 side to side with the Z1 the N5 is even worse when it comes to the yellow hue. Can anyone else confirm?

Finally got around to taking a photo with my friend's 5S

On the left is the N5 and Z1 on the right.

The yellow hue is definately more noticable when viewing screens with slight hints of blue

The comparison of both white screens came out decent in the photo with slight yellow on the N5 but in person it's much worse. (keep in mind my Z1 already has a yellow hue problem)

Definately feel like my N5 has serious screen issues I will contact Google and see what they have to say
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Yes, it's very difficult to photograph the issue because the device used to make the photos has its own impact. I've found that you can take whatever the photo shows and multiply it by a few times to get a real indication of the difference.
