Does anyone know whether there is a way to send group texts on the new hangouts as SMS rather than as MMS?

Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krs360:
Wish I knew the answer to this.

Just got my first bill on my new contract only to find that the 48 messages I sent to give people my new number were sent as MMS.

Turns out that as soon as you as more than one contact to a text it gets changed to MMS.

Not only did I get charged, I also found out that a lot of people's phone's don't even receive MMS so it was a complete f**k up all round.

Google now owes me £12.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Digitalralf:
Hello everybody,

I am a bit new to flashing roms and backups and using CWM. I have a rooted Xperia P with Jelly Bean on Stock firmware with CWM installed on it with a locked bootloader

I wanted to install a new font using ifonts what required a reboot of the system. When I installed a font( I did it before worked fine then) it wouldn't boot and didn't go futher than the cosmic flow animation. I tried to do a Hard reset and it didn't work. I could boot in recovery and a couple of days ago I made a Nandroid backup so I thought well why not it would be an easy solution and i wouldn't lose much data.

It worked I booted to my backup, but the system wouldn't mount the internal Sdcard properly. So I shut down my phone and restarted it. I get a black screen after the sony logo with a few little pixels blinking. When I try to charge it there is no sign of it actually charging, because there is no led showing and a black screen with the little pixels.

I made a small problem a very big problem with stupid late night thinking

I hope you awesome guys at XDA can help me with my stupidity
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] manudo:
Can you enter to CWM?

In order to flash ROMs is barely necessary to unlock the bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
Yup me too, first boot works, I tested both cold and warm, but after shutdown the phone is dead.

good thing I made full Titanium backup. Had to reflash stock restore and cutom install some MODs I use.

I suspect there is some problem with the backup since restore did not work with Nemesis nor with stock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Digitalralf:
No I can't enter CWM. Just flash the stock rom wiht Flash Tool than?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ChikeD:
SUS or PC Companion. If you bootloader is locked then flashtool.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Digitalralf:
Thanks, maybe it was good timing because my phone was slow and full of junk

As with any company it depends who you speak to. There are probably some at Orange who take an active interest in handsets and those that dont give a toss.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] je55ter:
So, I like the fact that KitKat now allows you to create any number of home screens. However, I'm used to the center one being my main home screen (the one that I end up on if I keep tapping the home button). Now, with KitKat, the left-most screen is the main screen. This makes it difficult to properly center wallpapers, and it also means that I can't have a setup where I swipe left to get to certain app shorcuts and widgets and right to get to others, as swiping left from the main home screen always goes to Google Now.

Is there any way in KitKat to designate a different screen as my main home screen? I'm pretty sure I've seen this option before (though it may have been in a custom ROM or custom launcher). I know I could just install Nova or some other custom launcher (and I probably will eventually), but I'd like to stick with a mostly stock 4.4 setup for now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Unfortunately, the stock launcher does not allow you to set a default home screen. Pretty disappointing. Gonna have to use a custom launcher for now.

Hi all,

Just reading the Xperia J development forum and see that Sony are rolling out firmware version .33. I'm running Vengence 1.40 kernel on my J at the moment and I'm just wondering if it is going to be possible to upgrade to the new firmware on the kernel I have?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Revontheus:
Upgrade to Vengeance 1.46 then continue
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Duck86:
So there is no way of doing it while keeping the OC feature from 1.40? I think I'll stick with the firmware I have if that's the case. I'm not sacrificing 300mhz for a firmware update I probably wont even notice once installed :P

Thanks for the reply

So apparently there is a problem with using data abroad with another provider's sim. The Acces Point setting is unable to be changed. I was told the S4 had the same problem which just recently was fixed by Samsung in a firmware update.

Nice.... Was really counting on this feature sitting here in Barbados and next week in Spain..

Any gurus here who can fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dutchman71:
Never mind. Found the fix for the S4 and same applied for our Notes. You do have to be rooted and not afraid to add a snipped of text to the build . prop file..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drewiskee:
Since I've been with them for years they opened a case. And next day they called me and did it..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] gotojanoo:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] drewiskee:
you get it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] danon.brown:
The 90 day thing is for the phone. If it hasn't been active for 90 days they open a case and call you in 24-48 hours depending on their work load. I had mine unlocked the day after release. It can be done from the international chat. It's different than the regular chat.

This describes how you can Flash Sprint Note 3 to Reliance/Cricket/Metro

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2521369

Getting MSL is really easy using application SPCUtility.apk

http://tools.flashingtools.com/SPCUtility.apk

Now have anyone tried to take note 3 with GSM SIM unlock code outside of the US and use it with a foreign SIM?

Do you need to mod the build.prop? Why do you need to if you can access APN menu without it?

also someone above said: "but without spc cant possible to unlock it for GSM carrier."

How can you unlock GSM with SPC? just for international use of for US carriers as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dutchman71:
You can acces the APN menu but you can't change anything without the build.prop change...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] leond:
ok, I see the "+" button goes to the "add APN" but everything is grayed out so it can only be used to switch between existing APNs but not adding a new one.

However I've just tried to use APN manager Pro and I was able to add an APN without modding the build.prop

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ale.android.apnmanagerwithanimation&hl=en

Also from my experience with traveling with modded Sprint's Note 2, it is easier to download xml file with huge database of APNs and inject it with APN manager pro. Some lists are here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35753093&postcount=3

I've attached my backup that can be restored with APN manager pro

This way when you insert a SIM card it automatically pics up a correct APN.

Sprint N3 in the UK, APN's and data

Using my new sprint note 3 on the Isle of Wight UK with O2. Got a prepaid sim, called O2 cust service they texted the APN which self installed and I'm getting 3g and hspa. I called sprint as soon as I got the phone and they opened a case, it came through the next day when I had got to the UK and I just did a restart while connected to a wifi hot-spot and the O2 sim was working.

Whole process probably took less than 20 minutes between sprint and O2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkManX4lf:
If I am running CM11 how would I use the Sprint Note 3 overseas for data and phone?

I'm guessing call Sprint and have them unlock the SIM for international use and then add the apn's manually ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] leond:
yes, that should do it. hopefully non-stock ROM will accept OTA unlock. do you have Settings > General > System Update > UICC unlock menu in this ROM? Lets us know if it works. Before the unlock if you insert non-sprint SIM you should see something like "invalid-sim" in notification area. After unlock it should not complain about it anymore. If this doesn't work, then nandroid backup, revert to stock, perform unlock, then restor from nandroid backup
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] adventure95004:
you may not have to mess with apns, when I used o2 in the UK I just called customer svc and they texted the apn settings which self installed. Took less than 5 minutes and worked with no problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DarkManX4lf:
No that option is not there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] leond:
the unlock instructions from sprint where:

This email is intended to confirm that Sprint has successfully processed the unlock request for your Samsung Note 3 Device on phone number: XXX-XXX-XXXX

In order for the device unlock to be finalized; the device has to be connected to the CDMA Network or a stable Wi-Fi data connection. Once the device unlock is complete, you should be able to insert the International SIM card and use the GSM Network.

If the international SIM card is not working, insert the original SIM card and follow these steps once you are connected to the CDMA Network OR a stable Wi-Fi data connection: go to Settings > General > System Update > UICC unlock. This will initiate the necessary update, then you can insert the international SIM card again and the network should change to GSM.

If you have any additional questions or concerns please contact Sprint World Wide care at 888-226-7212.

So it is not obvious if you really need this menu, but you might need to if it doesn't work as is.

No need to root or change build.prop or use any their party APN switchers. To change the APN, you simply go to Settings, Search, and type in Access Point Names. That lets you bring up the APN screen and you can change it there.

My Nexus 5 has problems with audio skipping and stuttering in the car over bluetooth. It also sometimes fails to connect until I toggle bluetooth on and off. Googling the problem indicates that it's a common problem on Nexus 4 and 7 with no real solutions.

This happens in an '11 Subaru and a '13 Hyundai, so I'm thinking it's the phone. Our other phones stream perfectly. I have tried unpairing and re-pairing many times. Any suggestions? Should I RMA the phone?

I'm seeing this also between my Nexus 5 and my PC, both the poor audio and problems connecting

it seems that attenuation is a factor, at least for the poor audio, when holding the phone around the middle/upper portion of the back causes it to happen while it never happens when I set the phone down.
