[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braneless:
Go to preferences and change backup folder location. Click "detect"/search entire device and navigate to your sd card.

Not sure about cwm, but twrp won't format your internal sd storage unless you specifically target it. I always wipe data, system, and cache prior to flashing a new rom. I leave the sd partition alone unless I want to clear it for whatever reason.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] vittogn:
Wouldn't be a very good accessory a slim protective case that can charge the N5 wirelessly via Qi and get cahrged using the same tecnology?

This would not make the case huge increasing height and with but just thickness, as there would not be the need of integrating the micro usb port.

I think that a slim 2 mm 1000mah would be perfect.

I'm talking about something like this for HTC One Max, with Qi instead of pogo pins.

Is it in your opinion possible?

Would you buy it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] stefan.buddle:
I'd buy it for <50$ USD
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Felnarion:
Possible? Yes. Worth it? No.

Qi is expensive, the case would need to be 90-150 dollars depending on a number of factors.

Qi is inefficient, you would need double or triple the capacity battery vs the amount of charge you would actually get to the phone. This means 2000-3000mah batteries for 750-1500mah charges. Huge thickness increase. Your example battery would provide sub 500mah actual charge to the phone. Best case scenario for Qi is 70%, from my research.

When you're discharging one battery, there's a heat cost. When you're wireless charging, there's a heat cost, and when you're charging the other battery, again, more heat. All of this made worse by the fact that it is significantly less efficient. I don't know enough to say if the heat would be totally limiting as in impossible..But I do believe overall battery longevity would be degraded by the heat, and it may even be impossible to do in warm climates.

The pogo pins are the way to go for this. Anything else is too inefficient or bulky. Unfortunately, those have to be put in from the factory.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] vittogn:
Thanks for the very good explanation. It make sense.

I'll never stop shouting why Google left (some of) us 5$ and 700mah far from having a perfect smartphone!
[Moto X Q&A] Techno79:
Why have they still not released the Moto X in the UK? Or anywhere else outside the US for that matter? I'm really keen on the Moto X as I think the ability to use Google Now from screen off state is awesome. Now that the N5 details have been released, I'm really gutted the Google Now feature isn't the same on the it. Also, shame it doesn't have the Active Notification too (but being an LCD screen, it would kill the battery).

To order the Moto X via eBay would cost around 2.5 times the cost of the N5 (after paying all the custom charges and VAT). Plus, not even sure if warranty would be covered. If I wait for it to be officially launched in UK then got knows how long I'll be waiting for and it'll still cost around 2 times the cost of the N5.

May be I should just get the N5. Is the Google Now on the Moto X really that practical or is it just a gimmick?
[Moto X Q&A] Eluveitie:
I am also having hard time deciding whether to wait for N5 to launch here in Israel or wait for Moto X.

Moto G will be announced soon but it seems a bit disappointing compared to the X...

Is it possible to buy off contract Moto X in USA and use it outside USA?

[Moto X Q&A] Techno79:
I believe it is, you just need to buy the Developer Edition which is a GSM version. Assuming that's what Israel uses. If it' uses CDMA then I've got no idea as I believe the Moto X handsets would be network locked to those CDMA networks.
[Moto X Q&A] BackDaws:
as far as i can tell the moto X isnt coming to the UK im actually really peeved because the Nexus 5 might be a nice fast phone but the moto x has some really useful features that i would actually use. Shame on Google for not implementing them, i would of prefered a 720p amoled screen instead of the 1080p lcd ips.

1.Is it unbranded are same as Sim/Network unlocked?

2.I have a AT&T S3 and AT&T Xperia Ion can i flash a unbranded firmware to unbranded & Sim/Network unlocked it?

3.How to unlock Sim/Network locked other than flashing a firmware?

4.Will unbranded void my warranty?

5.Can i remove nv_data.bin file to unlock unbranded & Sim/Network manually?

6.Unlocking bootloader and unlocked Sim/Network are same?

Thank you for anyone ! :D
[General Questions and Answers] manchasolar:
Let me try to help you, sorry if I have some mistakes...

1 - Unbranded is (as I see) about ROMs, not phones. All phones have a brand, some of them are unlocked. Some ROMs have brands (as I see this is the calling name for cell operators in this subject).

2 - If I understood correctly, you want to have a operator-free ROM for your phones, right? So it depends if there's any 'unbranded' firmware to your phones. For S3 yes, but I really don't know Xperia Ion, so you have to search xda.

3 - I don't know how it works in America, here in Brazil, by law, operators are determined to unlock SIM if the user wants (not that easy, but it works). For your case I don't know if just a new firmware will help. Sorry.

4 - Changing ROMs/Kernel/Firmware from official usually voids warranties.

5 - Sorry, I don't know, hope someone else helps you.

6 - They're different procedures and I don't think they're compulsorily related.

Good luck!
[General Questions and Answers] Fantassy123:
About question 5 that still isn't answered, No you can't just remove a file to unlock sim.

Doing this could brick your phone.

Unlocking sim requires a procedure with a PC, Search on google,XDA etc.. for a guide.
[General Questions and Answers] jialong.david:
Thank you. (I pressed the button!)

1.Will unlocking my sim locked void warranty?

2.Flashing a new firmware with odin3 void warranty? :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Fantassy123:
Yes everything that you modify on your phone will void warranty except Question 2 if you flash a official firmware it won't void warranty but if you flash a custom Firmware it will.

If you've got recovery, you can install one of these zips in recovery mode.

Google "superuser 3.1.3 arm signed zip" and click the first link that comes up - the androidsu one. Then download the superuser zip package that suits your device to your phones internal storage, reboot into recovery, install the zip and there you go! Your root is fixed.

You have a 2 year warranty on your phone (all Samsung phones have this) If it is a hardware fault, that warranty is your only option as the power button is soldered directly to the main board....the whole board will need to be replaced.....
[General Accessories] daniel_loft:
Hello all!

Recently I've bought a generic bluetooth keyboard from Carrefour. Nothing fancy, it seems that it was made with multiple platforms in mind. The model is CBK01 (OY661-1). This keyboard works great on Windows, it sends 2-3, maybe even 4 simultaneous key presses. But on Android it only sends one key at a time. I can't even write capital letters with it. The for now, the problem is partially solved via External Keyboard Helper, but only partially.

I've tried both Logitech's diNovo Mini keyboard and a wired keyboard (via OTG) and they both work just fine. So I guess the problem is somewhere in the middle. I just don't know where.

If anybody can help me solve this, even with a small hint, I'd be grateful.

Thanks!
[General Accessories] daniel_loft:
Bump!

Anybody?
[General Accessories] daniel.stephen:
I have the same keyboard and same problems. Right now I'm looking for a solution, but nothing so far.
[General Accessories] daniel_loft:
Just yesterday I've seen a Canyon bluetooth keyboard (can't find it online) in a local Carrefour for about 33 euros / 46 $ and it had Android/Windows/Mac written on 3 keys, which I assumed it was for changing modes for the three platforms (and key codes at the same time). So I guess the problems with our Carrefour keyboard come from the wrong key codes. I'll search into this a little later today or in the next days.

Wish you a nice Sunday!
[General Accessories] xtra22:
no fix yet ?

Has anyone found a solution for this keyboard ? The simultaneous key bug affects android and linux (ubuntu). In android i also got a bug that when I press one time the v key it repeats the letter many times.
[General Accessories] daniel_loft:
Giving that xtra22 is confirming similar problems on Ubuntu, I'm starting to think this might be a driver/OS related problem.

xtra22 could you please raise this problem on Ubuntu forums? There might be more Ubuntu users out there having this problem, maybe even with other keyboards too.

Wish you a great day!

Hi all. I'm looking to purchase a Wizard when I go to Hong Kong this January.

--

I was wondering if the Wizard is available in stores already [i.e. like WAN CHAI COMP CENTER or FORTRESS]

--

I need a device in English [so the keyboard will be in QWERTY]

--

If it is not available in stores yet then maybe I'll order off Expansys HK and just claim it when I'm there...

--

Any HK peeps out here? Your input will be welcome and appreciated... :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] garywizard:
In hk, the dopod838(htc wizard) is your only choice.

you dont need to worry too much.

Eng and chi version are both available in market.

You can get one from any store.

Because most people target on Dopod818 pro and o2 Atom.

Anyway, the market place is around $6100 hk dollar.

Do u need any other information?

Maybe i can get you a hand.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bnycastro:
Wow HKD 6100! At Expansys HK the Qtek 9100 is listed at HKD 5580 that is around HKD 520 difference. :(

Would you happen to know where the cheapest English dopod 838 is being sold? TIA :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] williamchan_hksar:
well if the hk local warranty is not a concern, i'll suggest u get 9100 or kjam instead. ( for me they came with much better outlook than dopod )
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bnycastro:
HK warranty is not really an issue for me. My main concern would be ROM updates I've been to the dopod website and it's all in Chinese, it leaves me wondering how frequent the English OS devices will get their updates.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] williamchan_hksar:
since dopod is focus on chinese market, do u think it's better to just get qtek or imate ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bnycastro:
yeah. that and the fact that the qtek would be HKD 500 cheaper is really a plus factor :)

I do not like the dopod 838's look... has anyone spotted a Qtek 9100 in retail stores? Please reply asap so I know if I will get from expansys hk or just buy in a store. Thanks in advance. I will be in hong kong on January 1 thru 6 so any replies before this days will be appreciated! Also store info would be really helpful:D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] williamchan_hksar:
bad news for you, there are no retail shop in HK are selling either 9100 or kjam. Btw, why don't send an email to Expansys and ask why they are not accepting your credit card ? ( they seems accept cheque or maybe bank transfer ? )

cheers :lol:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bnycastro:
thanks for the info! so only the dopod 838 is available in HK retail stores then :( this is really sad news for me. i've been trying to call them the whole afternoon their line is busy anyway the reason they don't accept credit card from the Philippines is because there is widespread credit card fraud here. This was also my problem last year when I got my imate JAM from expansys hk I asked a friend to deposit for me, before they shipped my order, i thought since i was a returning customer they would accept my card but this is not the case apparently. i asked if i could deposit the money on january 2 and get my order on jan 3 but they have not replied yet. they are a bit slow aren't they!

I wrote serial number and model Id via fastboot successfully after that I was able to flash pg58img.zip but after updating completion. I flashed ruu ics 3.33 via PC manually bringing phone to fastboot bcz phone was not detected in normal running.

everything was perfactly done by ruu but after turning on the phone stops loading at HTC sensation quietly brilliant screen.
