[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
Basically, the Nexus 5 has 2 verisons as far as the radio/band or country compatability are concerned - the Americas and the Euro-Asia models, two different SKU's - the other is whether it is a 16GB or 32 GB model, color in black or white - simple.

Both model are unlocked from the factory for quadbands (GPRS/2G/Edge Speed) including the 2100 Mhz band popularly used in Asia, so the US ones will work in your country at the "slower" data speed - but most likely not the so called 4G/LTE. For the average users, the 3G and HSPA+ compatability is more complex but depending on your cellular provider's network towers, speed can be just as fast.

In "third-world" or undeveloped countries with basic mobile networks, speed isn't your major concern - just basic coverage & a good signal.

As for the iPhone 5c and 5s, we don't use them but some of the nieces & nephews have them and use them - if your friend is buying them from the Apple store, they should be able to help him/her select the best model to bring overseas to use at your home country. There are different models and you want to match it as closely as possible. Here's a link to Apple's ITE coverage on different models sold, and the ITE bands used - you should reference it and perhaps alert your friend via email, look up a compatible carrier that you match yours. http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/

I know that the last time I was shopping & looking around for an unlocked GSM phone in Asia, the store sales people were helpful & making sure that I understood what they have & support are aimed at the local market with the proper radio bands, and that they cannot guarantee that it will work in the U.S. once I bring it back - returning it and exchanging it are out of the questions or very expensive to do. It will work but mobile data speed could & would likely be lowered.

Of course, if you are using WiFi or broadband signal at home or at work or in the universities with ultra fast connections most of the time - then you might find it acceptable given the cost savings. We have super fast fiber optics (Fios) connections and are reliable and having 4G LTE and/or HSPA+ enabled and working are just extra bonuses at our local price point - $350 USD for 16GB - with taxes & shipping, came to less than $400 still.

Good luck !

Hi All the people that has sudden problems with frozen Note3. (No root, original 100% yet)

My experience has shown that WATCHON app is creating me some problems. From the very moment I opened the app, configured and so on I had problems. The mobile suddenly didn't respond, the alarm get stuck when started to sound, the whatsapp voice button causes to freze the complete mobile, and sometimes when trying to turn on the scren with button the screen remains off... (black screen). Always had to restart...

For solve issue, I tried everything I leave the idea to solve it until next complete wipe. But one day, I saw also some problems on the unlock screen with watchon, and several issues with watchon configuration.

When dissabled the app everything shines again. Any more problem since then. Any. At last...

If any of you have problems like this, try dissable WatchOn....

D1 and D3, aside from having a similar design to XT890 (Razr i), are completely different devices. They share no internals with the "i", starting by the processor which is ARM based, not Intel x86.

Sorry, this post doesn't belong here :(.

Maybe you could ask in General Android Q&A section for some directions on what device is similar to D1, so it can have a ROM ported most easily

Hello,

I have searched on the forum but there is talk of changes only on deodexed Rom.

I would like to have the ability to change song with volume keys on stock (rooted) rom. I did it with cyanogen on my s3 but on the nexus is not possible.

My second question is always about changing songs.

I bought a Philips shb9100 bluetooth headset. On many phones you can go forward or backward by pressing the volume knob once, returning to its normal position and then immediately hold down the wheel again. This does not work on the nexus 5.

Does anyone know an app that can be useful?

Thanks to all,

try Frinky Music Controller (No root required)

I always wanted to have an app which controls music with volume keys but i could not find any which does it smoothly. So I developed my own :p . My app Frinky Music Controller on GOOGLE PLAY controls music with volume keys and smartly controls music volume. It supports more 200 music players and Spotify. It works on both rooted and non-rooted phones.

Some features of the app are :

Next Song -- press volume UP key single time to play next song.

Previous Song -- use volume DOWN key to play previous song.

Control Volume -- when we want to control music volume , most of the time we press volume key more than once (next time when you adjust volume , feel it) . So the app uses this tendency of users as a function to control music volume i.e press volume key more than once to adjust volume.

Stop song -- Oh! you play music in your class in absence of professor here comes the professor .... turn off the music quickly by UP+UP+DOWN+DOWN key action (it takes less time than muting the volume and unlocking the screen :D .

Sleep Timer : Single sleep timer for all your music apps.

Manually control app's service : well to understand this feature you will have to download the app.

It consumes very less amount of ram.

Nope. Which is part of the big draw with Nexus devices! Enjoy!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
No, not all all - took less than a minute using ADB (instead of one of the toolkits) after reading & checking everything, maybe 10 minutes including preparation.

Reboot the device & wait for it to do a factory reset, and setup again - good to go as the Apps were automatically updated/reinstalled from Play Store, after turning on WiFi.

Factory images or roms are available so it is easy to relock and/or flash back to factory stock condition if necessary for warranty purposes.

Running it stock otherwise on mine. Just make sure to follow written instructions step-by-step, and backup your work or changes made.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbburtraw:
I just did this on my Galaxy Nexus. The software itself does not see a difference, and I certainly don't myself. I haven't rooted yet so I definitely don't notice a difference (except for the boot screen having an unlocked lock icon under the Google logo).

For the Sony devices, is it the unlocked bootloader or the root access in the software that causes the DRM issues?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irro94:
In Sony devices unlock bootloader cause the lost of drm keys. Without drm you cannot use TrackID and bravia engine in stock rom.

Hello all. I can't seem to find a specific thread with my phone model. I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S III SCH-S968C which is by Tracfone/StraightTalk using the Verizon network. It is running Android 4.1.2 Is there a rooting method for another Verizon model that would work? Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Try cydia impactor:

You just need your device drivers installed and usb debugging turned on. Once Impactor completes simply install SuperSU from play store.

I got mine for $299+tax Black Friday

I just picked up one, the Verizon model GS3 for $299 instead of $399. Walmart here in Miami/Doral had 4 of them. I got the ZTE Majesty but damn that phone is a POS for me, good for wife but for me, no joy.

So I bought this GS3 SCH-S968C today (Friday 11/2913) for $299 because Walmart had them $100 off for the Thanksgiving day black Friday

NOW I need to ROOT it....

I got another GS3 on MetroPCS 4G LTE but this one is only 3G BUT it does have the slot for the UICC/SIM for 4G so I wonder it it had those chip sets in it also.

Would be cool to get VZW 4G @ $45/month with 2.5GB limit and unlimited talk/text

but for what I need on the road 3G and always a connection is good enough with NO CONTRACTS...and the 3G is damn good and fast for the price/coverage
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Klown80:
Try Impactor to root it, unless the bugs have been patched it should work. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] philmiami:
Also need to find out how I can backup the phone image as is right now.

The exploit worked, got SuperSU working with TBPro so it DOES work but now I want to image the ROM, so how can I do that?

I have a iMac OS X 10.6.8 but I can bootup into Windows 7 Ultimate (so I would need to do USB drivers,etc but I do have Kies already on there for my other GS3).

I got 3G/VZW on the ST phone but I want to get it more like my other GS3 so without the tracephone stuff also wi-fi hotspot is missing from the settings menu so I don't know if that will work (just in case I need to from my laptop which is a macbook pro if no wi-fi readily available).

Dear all

I am getting a Wizard and want to use it as my MP3 player.

But it has a 2.5mm jack and normal headphones are 3.5mm.

I know it comes with headphones, but I have my own special ones I want to use - does anyone know where to get hold of a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor? I saw one on Ebay but it was a plug and I think a very small cable with a 2.5mm plug on one end and 3.5mm socket on the other would be better... that way it wouldn't stick out of the Wizard and snap off/break the headphone socket on the Wizard!

Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Robson:
mate

try this site:

http://pc-mobile.net/xda.htm

if i remember it's based in hong kong. excellent services. if you'll browse down the page you'll see the section for headset adapters. oh, and some advice if you don't mind. about a year ago i bought the Retractable Audio / Headset Adapter (the 26.50USD item)...it says that it's for the xda1 only but it actually works with xda2. i can confirm this myself as i asked the support desk. anyway; the advantage of this unit is that it's retractable, you can plug in any 3.5mm jack for your headset, you also answer a call using this adapter since it comes with it's own answer/microphone. the downside is that the wire is not as tough. continuous pulling or retracting eventually wears out the wiring.

i then bought the 3.5mm Stereo Audio Adapter for 5.65USD (not including shipping). works well and is quite sturdy given that the wire is sturdy and thicker.

so if you ask me don't get the retractable ones. a friend of mine bought from the same site and he complained about the wire wearing out fast due to retracting.

the site also has other connectors/adapters for other uses...like for gps and stuff.

cheers
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Finraziel:
I just use one of those simple plugs, cost me 70 eurocents only at a local electronics store... I don't see how it could snap off. The headphone plug is on the bottom so I just stick it in my pocket with the plug up and it's not a problem, since it points in the right direction (out of my pocket).

On a dutch forum I read about a brando adapter but it cost 20 euros :shock:.

The ones on the page Robson posted seem a bit more reasonable, but still, 70 eurocents is hard to beat.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wilesd:
a normal 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptor will only output audio in mono as the pin outs on the HTC devices are non standard.

The ones from Expansys are made by a US company called PocketPCTechs and are specifically designed for the HTC devices so will give you Stereo audio.
