[LG Optimus G Pro] footballfanjim:
Hi there all, want to first say thanks to all the devs and everyone on this board for all the cool work with LG phones. I'm new to AT&T (from Sprint) and GSM phones after 6 years of HTC phones and roms. Right now I'm on the trial period trying to decide if I will keep this E980 or return it and go with the HTC One, but I really like having the micro sd card over no sd card slot with the HTC One. Anyhow I wanted to post my rookie questions here because I am stuck, looked around and read everything but still unable to get CWM installed.

So far I have

1. Successfully flashed the Panama Stock 980H ROM

2. Successfully rooted

3. Installed FreeGee pro tried clicking unlock "sorry your varient is not supported" when I click install recovery I get FC, tried again this time selecting do not disable LG security, same thing FC? So my question is what dumb thing am I doing wrong, I have to be missing some detail right? Thanks

EDIT: Must of had a bad install the first time, uninstalled, reinstalled, installed CMW no more FC's or errors
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
Don't try to disable security. Everything else works. Just say I decline or No or whatever.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nnotis:
I believe the Freegee servers are down at the moment. I was unable to install any recoveries yesterday. But the developer is working to update it, so I expect all will be fine soon.

Regarding the unlocking process: From CWM, you should be able to restore an AT&T stock rom back up. Then you can unlock and try your luck with AOSP roms.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroAE:
Sony has said that installing bootloader in the Xperia Z1 will disable the camera, but I've read that if you recover the TA, the camera works again. Is this true? If so, could I install different kernel ROMs (like CM) with a working camera?

I'm sorry if the question sounds dumb, I'm new to Android.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Firstly, you don't "install" the bootloader, every phone has one, you just unlock it to get access to it.

Secondly, you can restore the TA but that RELOCKS the bootloader so you cant use custom kernels.

Trust me, when this issue is sorted it will be big news so you will get to know it.

Currently this is the situation

locked bootloader = stock kernels = working camera

Unlocked bootloader = stock or custom kernels = NO CAMERA

No question is dumb if you don't know the answer, but please get used to searching before asking, that way you definitely wont ask any dumb questions ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroAE:
Thanks!

But the only ROM with the stock kernel is HONAM1Z, and I have no idea what features it has....

The other stock kernel ROMs are just updated firmware with root, but there are 2 that are basically the same. Which one should I use?

Do you need bootloader for mods? (like PureXAudio)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
You choose any one you want. No one on here will tell you want you want, its up to you to try, test and decide for yourself.

As for other mods, no you don't need bootloader unlocked. That is only for custom kernels.

If you read the OP of each mod it will tell you the requirements and if it does not say "Requires an unlocked bootloader" then its fine to use on a stock kernel.

You will just have to root, install recovery and flash them.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroAE:
Do ROMs need to be of the exact model number?

For example, you have a ROM for the C6903, but I have the C6906. Can I use the ROM?

Or if mine is build number 14.1.G.1.518, and yours is 14.1.G.2.257, can I still use the ROM?

And does the phone get unrooted when updated OTA? And how do you know which build number is newer?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
I would first suggest you read the tutorials in the general section and the dev section.

Most, if not all, your questions will be answered there and I will only be cutting and pasting information from there.

As something to think about, when I first joined xda I spent a LOT of time reading guides and tutorials before doing anything to my phone.

I am not saying I wont answer your questions, but the answers are out there for you already and taking things steady will give you the best chance of learning and not doing something daft to your phone and bricking it.

No need to read ALL the threads, but the opening pages contain important information. If after reading those you still have questions you can ask them in those threads and then people can help you there.

Best of luck, and I am available via PM if you need me
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeroAE:
Thanks for the threads! They were pretty useful

Although I still have questions about ROMs. If your room is for C6903, and I have 6906, can I still use it? I would guess that you can, as the only thing that change is the baseband.

Also, what ROM do you recommend? Yours (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2504638), this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2440408) or generic 534 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2505796)?

Do you know what Honam1Z? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2463675). I cant seem to find the advantages of the ROM....

Thanks again for answering my questions, mate.

And I'm sorry if you have received this same message by PM. My sent box appeared empty after I sent it, so I didnt think it reached you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
I dont get it, when I use Google Music the albums artwork looks a little blurry , which is annoying since the album art takes over 70% of the music app, now with Kit Kat we have the album cover taking over the lockscreen, actually it becomes the wallpaper when we're listening something , still looks blurry.

What size does Google uses for these images? I make sure my albums have HQ album covers, at least 900x900 and they still look blurry, maybe it's an android issue?

Hell even the kit kat promo showing off the new lockscreen looks blurry :eek:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tomatot-:
With my N4 most of ths covers seem clean. Maybe because of Full HD
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiliyo:
music i got from play music all access covers are sharp and clear, maybe 900x900 being stretched over 1920x1080 is causing them to become blurry? since the system is also cropping and zooming the image to fit as well...

maybe try 1024x1024? or 1200x1200?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
Lately I've been using 1200x1200 and they still look blurry, also album covers can't be 1920x1080 because the aspect ratio is totally different , I made a couple of caps, check out the text where it says CHVRCHES on caps (yellow), it looks blurry. it doesn't look that bad on the phone but still it's quite noticeable :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adiliyo:
that looks more like compression artifacts than blurryness or a cropping issue. do you have the original image to compare against? but it looks like google is compressing the image and that's the cause for the poor quality.

is that file stored on your phone locally or are you streaming it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
This is the original image, which looks perfect on my mac :( , the files are stored on my phone, no streaming whatsoever :crying:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andluk:
i'm also not fine with the quality of the lock screen album art. i hope it will be able to chose the zoom. I personally don't like to see just this small area of the album art. i prefer black bars top and bottom and seeing the full album art than this crappy quality half of the album art :(

any chances to change the album art size?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badd_blood:
For perfect album art quality on the lockscreen you need it to be 1920x1920 or larger.

Is there any way to stop the full screen album art in kitkat?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragn4rce:
Just Google the most high res version of all your covera like I do. I stream them and they usually look perfect.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj96:
I have a S3 on kitkat, but I get the same problem :(

Some of the album art pics are larger than the screen resolution, but it still appears blurry...

I still haven't found a fix for it.

*sigh* I guess I'll just have to get used to it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
are you sure 1920x1920 I think album covers have a different aspect ratio, I don't know which one is it but i downloaded a 1920x1920 file and compared to an album cover over 1900 and they have different aspect ratios :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badd_blood:
Yes, album arts have an aspect ratio of 1:1, they are a square. In Kitkat it zooms in the album art fullscreen though.

Tip: I found that going into my Play Music library on the computer I can edit album info and google gives suggested artwork that is very high quality.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I didn't know they added that feature. Last time I tried to organize my library it wasn't there. Thanks!

2.Flash clockworkmod recovery like you make root.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] darkshadow1997:
true what he said but you need to install gingerbread 2.3.6 so there will be no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kiss.utama:
so after I root my Galaxy Mini Froyo and flash the CWM, I can go straight flashing the CyanogenMod 10.1 via CWM? My firmware is still Froyo here. Is it okay? Or I must upgrade to Gingerbread before flashing CyanogenMod 10.1?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] abdo jouma:
you must got gingerbread my friend then root

install cwm recovery

then flash this rom with cwm

press thanks if i helped you
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Masrepus:
Easiest way is to look on cyanogen wiki page for galaxy mini (called tass)

Follow the installation of cwm and then when they tell u how to install cyanogen, do it exactly the same but with the zip of the rom u want to install. I dont think root is required, there isnt anything written on the wiki page. Good luck!

this update.zip to root Galaxy Mini Froyo right? I don't want to be mistaken with root for Galaxy Mini Gingerbread
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kiss.utama:
but I think in order to install CWM, the handheld must be rooted. CMIIW
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kiss.utama:
yes I read in some thread that flashing directly from Froyo (even rooted Froyo with CWM) will cause bootloop.

so I think I must upgrade to GB first.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] leximu5:
I don't know if this has been posted already (I searched the forums and didn't find it), but today I found about a nifty new feature on Android 4.4 KitKat and wanted to share it with you guys. Turns out KitKat now allows you to record your screen to an MP4 file via adb:

$ adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/demo.mp4

This creates an MP4 file the exact resolution of your device of whatever shows your screen during the time of recording (to stop the recording just press Ctrl-C).

I've been waiting for AGES for Google to build something like this into Android for creating promotional material for my apps, until now the only way to do this was via 3rd. party apps and most of the time required a rooted device.

[HTC One S] original21:
Hi fellow XDA members. I am new to the HTC community so i can be considered as noob. A friend of mine gave me his HTC One S to try and fix it.

Currently i can get into the bootloader (its unlocked with HTC dev, and shows as tempered). I did a factory reset but this does not change anything. When i try to start the phone it sometimes loads correctly, but it can't last more that a minute in android. It freezes and starts rebooting several times. After that i can only shut it down through the bootloader.

These are the phone details:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 2.15.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.15.50.05.29

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT

(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: dirty-64bedd38

(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11

(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0

After a lot of reading over the pass 2 days i realised that this phone is an S4 version (vle and it has a 1,5 processor).

From what i see the previous owner has flashed an S3 rom to an S4 handset.:confused:

If this is the case, can the phone be recovered from the DEAD????:angel:
[HTC One S] mjsheldon4:
Pretty much from what I can tell SOL for now. Tampered with s-on means that it was S-off previously. Plus the 3.16 firmware can only be flashed with S-off. Currently there is method to S-off 3.16. The easiest way to fix most issues is with a RUU but since 3.16 firmware was leaked and not official, there is no RUU at this time either.

I had the same problem previously but I was able to send it back to tmob for a warranty exchange.
[HTC One S] original21:
Thanks for your reply. I do have some good news and bad news.

Good news is that i have managed to flash a 3.16 RUU.exe for S4. Tampered has gone (relock is still present).:victory:

Bad news is that phone does not boot to android and when it does is only for a few seconds. The more time is left switched off, the more time it can last in android. Even with safe mode, it still reboots.

I guess is a hardware problem.:crying:
[HTC One S] mjsheldon4:
What happens when it boots. Full android then turns off or stuck on HTC white screen. Does it say any thin?

[HTC One S] original21:
It stucks on the HTC logo and it keeps rebooting until i turn it off through the bootloader.
[HTC One S] tominozh:
Hi.

Looks like a hardware issue to my, but there is more things to try.

It's good you have ran 3.16.401.8 JB RUU. You can S-OFF your phone now.

Can you run fastboot getvar all again and paste it here. Just to make sure the firmware in RUU was flashed correctly. If it was your hboot should be 2.15 and radio 1.11.

[HTC One S] original21:
I have a 2.15 hboot and 1.15 radio. Today I got an update for 3.16.401.9
[HTC One S] tominozh:
So the phone's working now properly?

Sent from HTC One S using android 4.2.2 sense 5
[HTC One S] original21:
No. I still have the same problems. When its in android (even safe mode)after a few minutes it starts rebooting. When it reboots it stays at the HTC logo.
[HTC One S] tominozh:
Ok. I would try this. Run .8 RUU again. After that get root (or flash some jb 4.1.1 sense Rom) and flash unsecure kernel, like bulletproof for JB.

Then make sure you have supercid

and use facepalm method to get S-OFF. Then try downgrade to ics or upgrade your firmware to jb 4.2.2. I think it's worth a try.

Are you rooted and running a custom recovery? If so download that file(make note of where it at), boot into recovery ,go to install, and choose that file. Once it's done reboot and you should have ur browser in you're app drawer. If you're not rooted and running a custom recovery u will need a signed apk. to install normally.

Im getting very slow speed now. On the gs4 I would get H+ on the nexus I only see H and the speeds on downloads are so slow.

Anyway to fix this?

WCDMA supports H+ for tmobile/gosmart

How can I set the phone to use only that?

Just took 3 mins to download a 11mb app...... :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ACCUSED24:
When I got my nexus 5, I was coming from the Nexus 4. I had to call AT&T get 4G enabled. The process of doing so, they had to get my new IMEI code and enable it on their side.

Before that change, I was getting 3 mbs download, now I am getting 25 mb/s.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDBearCT:
- Do you have the right APN selected or configured for your client?

- GoSmart I believe throttles to 3G speeds:

- You can go to the phone menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and enable or disable the networks you're using. In your case, you can lose the CDMA network. You can try enabling the LTE network from there, but I suspect GoSmart users are not allowed on that network.

Thats really werid because I switch my sim to my Gs4 I get 4g/H+ and I switch it to my iphone 5s and again I get 4g/H+.

On the nexus i only get 3g/H.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBelter:
Nexus 5 doesn't show H+ it only shows H even if it's on H+ network type
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miczk:
It's just icon. Google Nexus 5 actually doesn't have "H+" icon so it will indicate only "H" every time.

However you can check network type by going to Settings - About phone - Status. If you are on HSPA+ network, you'll see HSPA+.

I have just HSPA at home so can't prove it by proper screenshot.

You can also check network type by installing Netmonitor or Gmon (both available on Play Store).

HSDPA - up to 7,2 Mbit/s

HSPA - up to 14,4 Mbit/s

HSPA+ - up to 21,6 Mbit/s (respectively 43,2 Mbit/s if you carrier supports HSPA+ 42/HSPA+ DC - some American carriers say it's 4G. Actually it's 3.75G but marketing is everywhere.)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omf05:
Thanks for clearing that up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omf05:
Thank you for the information. It seems im getting HSPA+ but my speeds are very low when downloading. I downloading the same app on the GS4 and it was done in 13 seconds.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
You got that almost right.

Actually,

HSPA 7.2 Mbit/s

HSPA-DC 14.4 Mbit/s

It is the same dual channel thing as with H+

HSDPA is actually just the Downstream of HSPA. HSPA stands for High Speed Packet Access and consists of HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) and HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) as its down- and uplink.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetacoking2:
I am also having an issue. The network shows HSPA under settings, and I know my plan supports HSPA+. The APNs are the same as they have always been. Any ideas?

So Tuesday I took a couple pics with my s3, then plugged in my usb otg to transfer some pics to that to put onto my ONE, then forgot about it. Last night i picked it up and noticed it was dead, thought that was strange but maybe i left wifi on and didnt give it a full charge before. So I plugged it into that charger last night and forgot about it. Decided wanted to take a couple pics with it today and its dead still. Like totally dead. I put a different battery in and still nothing. Been on the charger fpor a bit, nothing. I get no lights, no vibrate, nothing. Any idea why it would just die like that? Its a replacement from verizon from about August, used until mid september when I got my ONE. Kept my s3 for the camera. Any ideas what the issue is and if its bricked somehow? I was running andys bonestock, havent flashed or touched anything on it in sometime so a bit confused what the issue is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
It's bad luck, there's a whole thread describing this issue. As a general rule you shouldn't plug anything into the phone, but there's no way you Could've known that.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33882126

Basically I'd check and see if you can plug it into your pc and see if it'll recognize it at all. Sometimes it'll show up as an unusual drive qusb_dload and that can be fixed. Alternatively, you can plug it into a charger without the battery, if the red light comes on that can be fixed also. If nothing works, you may have shorted the power supply which is a different problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jessbowring:
Ive been using the on the go usb for a while now transferring pics i take with the s3 to my one and to store photos or other files from my ONE. Never had a problem with it. It is not picked up by my pc at all nor do i get a red light or any light with or without the battery. How do i determine if this is just a power issue and not a brick issue? Im not sure how i could have bricked it just by copying pics from the phone to the otg.

EDIT: So after reading that thread, im thinking this is likely my issue as well. It didnt happen immediately on plugging it in tho cause i was watching some of the files transfer before going back to watching my movie on tv. Is this issue just on the S3? Or should i be worried about this with my ONE as well since i have no sd card in that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
I think you're better off not using it, but I wouldn't know for sure on the one. The power issue would be a much bigger problem then a hard brick because getting parts to fix it might not be worth the cost. Plus you need to find someone who can fix that.

If you're still under warranty just bring it in and get a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jessbowring:
I just had it replaced in august so would think this would still be warrantied?
