[Nexus 5 Accessories] _MetalHead_:
So I got it. Of the 3 "hybrid" cases I have (Rearth, Spigen, Supcase) I like the Supcase the best. It feels slimmer in the hand, and I really like the frosted back as opposed to the clear on the other 2. Compared to the Diztronic, the Supcase is just a tad bit thicker, but also much harder/stiffer. I think the Diztronic feels better in the hand, being a thinner and softer material, but I feel like the Supcase is going to provide a little more protection. So right now the Diztronic and the Supcase are my two favorite cases, but neither is going to be ideal for me for the long term. I am really hoping Urban Armor Gear comes out with a case for the N5, if they do that will be my hands down go-to case. Until that happens, I will keep searching. But I am happy with the Diztronic and Supcase in the meantime.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ethantarheels123:
Pretty much my exact same thoughts. I think I'm gonna rock the diztronic for now, because I am just in love with the form fitting shape and smoothness around the edges of it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] emaz1ng:
i'm going to buy a nexus 5 in the following days and i'm looking for the proper case. i really like the customization these 2 cases offer due to the clear back, so i was really going towards one of these two, and since i found the face-off on xda i thought i'd just bring the thread back alive instead of creating a new one.

what i was wondering is that i read one customer review on amazon, and other people confirming, complaining the Ringke case scratched the phone's corners in just a few days, did someone have the same problem? Overall i like the Ringke case the most, but if this is true Spigen looks like a very similar option.

Thank you.

thx for the review..made it clear to me to go for SPIGEN!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulgupta1096:
Last night, I realized my S3 had died. It wouldn't turn on. If I pulled out the battery, then plugged it into the wall, the red LED light would momentarily come on, and the phone would vibrate and that's it. If I pulled out the battery, then put it back in (without being connected to wall socket), phone vibrates, and Samsung logo flashes. Then immediately the phone just dies and all signs of life are gone. If I re-insert battery and hold power+home+vol up, I see the blue "recovery booting" text in the top left accompanied by the samsung logo in the center, but then the phone dies again and all sign of life is gone.If I re-insert battery and hold power+home+vol down, I get the download mode screen. Whether or not I press a button, the phone dies very shortly thereafter.

I was told this might be sudden death, however I'm not sure because my phone still works in a very limited sense. What should/can I do? My phone is not under warranty and I don't have insurance. Samsung said it would be around $70 to have it repaired. I really want to retrieve all my data from the phone (all of which is saved on the phone, no external SD card). Any suggestions?

Edit: I haven't installed any software/updates for quite a while. This just happened out of nowhere.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
First try another battery, the symptoms you describe could also be a dead cell.

[Sony Xperia L] s3nr1:
Can I flash c2104 firmware on a c2105?

I got my phone from Asia and want to use it on Rogers network which is 850/1900...it's such a joke that these 'newer' phones are not 3g quadband, it has dual band wifi...

Even my old asian galaxy s1 has option (debug) to let me use 4 3g bands. So is it such a stretch that this is just a software limitation?

Any help is appreciated EDGE is really slow...
[Sony Xperia L] saurabh007:
I guess you should be able to use C2104 firmware on C2105.. But, you should confirm with someone else too.. Don't proceed flashing now, just wait for someone else's reply
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
Why you need to flash c2104 firmware to get this? My c2105 got that bands,will provide screen. Maybe you need to flash ftf(for c2105) for other region that got that bands? There are some ftf in general tab and in android development tab too.
[Sony Xperia L] Epiee:
Diffrent c2104 and c2105 , just that band? Or anything else ?
[Sony Xperia L] s3nr1:
Are you sure you have c2104 3g bands?

What android are you running? 4.1.2? I'm running latest fw 4.2.2 flashed from PC Companion. Can u show me *#*#7378423#*#* under service->service info->configuration->working bands

I only have UMTS_BC1 and UMTS_BC8 for 3G...

If you do have more, can u link where you downloaded your ftf? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia L] siankatabg:
Sorry, now I saw that they are only this two that you mention... But I don't think that c2104 baseband will work on c2105.Maybe you need ftf for your region, because I don't have problems with 3g. You can try to change customization number in your build.prop and try to update it with SUS.
[Sony Xperia L] s3nr1:
Oh okay, where are you using your c2105?

Like I said in OP, I'm using an Asian L (C2105) in North America (rogers/canada).

I guess I can live with EDGE is not that bad for messaging (whatsapp, bbm, email). It's just browsing and downloading is superslow 15kByte/sec at least the upload is 1:1...

Hi

Without going through every application how can I setup the connection options to only automatically connect when wifi is available or when docked. Idealy I would like to be prompted to connect via GPRS or 3g network? Any reg hacks on this one?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ghoz:

hi, I'm having the same issue as above...would like to connect to GPRS manually only.

anyone !??!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
me to, i am only on a limited plan for gprs/3g and the costs are quite high 2c p kb.

i use wifi at home a lot, so usually not a problem, but dodgy activesyncs to exchange server, or accidentally opening IE auto connects 3g gprs without prompting.

Any hacks, or software that anybody knows about.

I also need this, i ran my bill up without knowing/wanting to :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] StevePritchard:
I have changed my default IE page to "about:blank" - at least it means that IE doesn't go off trying to load a page by default that I'm most likely not interested in, but it also prevents it from connecting GPRS/3G should you start it by accident.

Cheers,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
What does this cab file do exactly? Does it give you an option to manualy connect or does it turn GPRS off completely? Plus where can we find the option to turn it ON if we can?

One more thing please, can I install this cab file on my O2 XDA Exec without any conflicts since it was made for T-Mobile?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] joebongo:
I am not 110% but I believe it appears in a number of carrier ext roms, and just stops GPRS from being attached all the time (like an idle disconnect perhaps?)

When you want GPRS, then you can connect by starting the application you want (ie : Internet Explorer) and GPRS kicks in.

Hope it helps.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dEris:
Has anyone attempted to figure out how to get the new Google Dialer with business search to work on 4.4 AOSP ROMs? AFAIK, it's only on the N5 port.

I'm not too savvy with porting so I was just seeing if anyone has attempted to look into it. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in this feature. ?

×✖ LTE Mako ✖ rastakat ✖ AK.106 ✖ CWM ✖×
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenxiaolong:
No porting necessary :) Just delete AOSP's /system/priv-app/Dialer.apk file and copy /system/priv-app/GoogleDialer.apk and /system/priv-app/GoogleDialer.odex from Nexus 5 non-AOSP ROM.

I will make a flashable zip tomorrow.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chenxiaolong:
It doesn't matter. If you look carefully, the Nexus 5 stock ROM actually has both odexed and deodexed apk's, so it's probably a new kit kat feature.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drwario:
My phone has been boot looping a few times every time I turn it on. Am I able to wipe dalvik cache without recovery? Maybe that will clear it up
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobstone:
Just the other day I had a weird thing happen. I rebooted my phone and when booting I saw Android is updating, followed by optimizing apps and starting apps. I had not run any update of any kind at all. The phone booted fine and ran fine afterwards. Now everytime I reboot the phone, I get the same message Android is updating then it says starting apps and then the phone boots up as normal. Anyone know why this is happening? Is this a problem? I had a similar thing happen on my tablet and when I ran a firmware update afterwards then started getting all kinds of errors.

If this is a problem how do I fix it? And with this happening should I not run any updates?

I am rooted and on stock firmware with no updates installed.

Thanks in advance everyone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] reinaldistic:
This happens when cache is cleared, anytime you flash a ROM or kernel you are supposed to wipe cache and most packages will do this for you. Your tablet doing this after a firmware upgrade is normal, the errors weren't.

Now if your phone is doing it every reebot it probably means one of two things: 1 your system is wiping cache every shutdown for some reason or 2 your cache partition is corrupted.

If you are unrooted I recommend talking to Verizon (or whomever you purchased it from) about warranty, if its rooted I would try wiping cache and dalvik cache through your recovery (this will cause it to happen one more time but might prevent a second or third) and see if it keeps doing it after three reebots. If that doesn't work wipe everything (cache, dalvik cache, and user data) and reflash your ROM or another ROM. If that doesn't do it either unroot and talk to Verizon about warranty (after resetting the flash counter)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobstone:
What's the right way to wipe the cache and dalvik then? Should I use titanium backup? Not sure how to do it from recovery on this phone. And will doing this have any side effects?

Thanks again

Also, I haven't flashed any roms or new kernels.

Please, any and all responses and ideas. Im sure the last person that replied knows what he/she is talking about but I just need a lil more info...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
Depending on the release, MDk, ME7, MI1, MJ7 you may not be able to wipe the cache manually from the recovery menu.

Whn I was on ME7, no problem. Now that I'm on MI1, I can't do a manual wipe.
[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
Hello, guys. I am encountering what I think is a very weird bug with Smart Saver. I'm hoping that some other people can test this on their systems and if, it's just me, I'm going to return mine for a new unit.

With Smart Saving enabled, the screen will automatically increase and decrease brightness constantly as different pages and app's come up. In my case, the screen seems to flicker almost every time I swipe and I can't stand it, so I disabled Smart Saver. The icon is OFF on the pull down status panel and it's turned off under settings. However, whenever I reboot, I still encounter the screen flickering and dimming constantly (although it seems to be to a lesser degree). If I pull down the status panel, turn Smart Saving On and then off again, the problem goes away until I reboot the system. This is at least encouraging me that maybe it's just software and I can deal with it for a month or so.

Here's what I want someone else to test for me. Turn Smart Saver off. Turn the tablet off and then on again. Pull down the status menu and carefully watch the screen. The open portion of the home screen will dim once (which is normal). On my system, after about another 1/2 second or so, the screen will flicker or dim again slightly. It does this every time, but it might be hard to notice unless you are looking for it. When side scrolling between home screens, sometimes brightness will increase slightly and other times it will decrease. Pull down status panel, turn on smart saver, turn it off again and the problem goes away.

Help, please? Mine is a US model if that makes any difference on build 10.14.1.47.

Thank you very much in advance.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
Did you download the used 10.14.1.47 manually from Asus website or was it an auto update from the device itself.
[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
Manually from the website.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Alta1r:
I kinda have the same problem, though on my tab it is only the auto brightness that sometimes will increase/decreased constantly. Disabling Smart Saving or auto brightness helps in my case. I only have the problem when i'm in a room where there's light but the room isn't totally bright, and the tablet is with its back to the light source.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
Others can correct me if I'm wrong but the 10.14.1.47 isn't being pushed through the device itself. I'm finding most people are downloading it manually from Asus website. . My estimation, I think Asus is aware that the update has some issues, thus not force updating it through the device until they come out with the latest fix.
[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
You might be right about the update. Although I was thinking more people should have this issue. Maybe they aren't rebooting their tablet often enough to notice it as once I enable/disable Smart Saver, the problem goes away until I reboot. That is a satisfactory work around, but I was hoping for confirmation from at least one other person seeing the same thing in terms of returning the device. Amazon has decent return terms, so I'll probably wait until the next update and see if that fixes it. Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF701] thor7777:
I'm on .47 and I have the same issue as well. I also noticed that the brightness will increase 2-3 steps every time I bring up "settings". This is regardless of auto-brightness on/off, smart saving on/off, outdoor mode on/off.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Yezariael:
Auto-brightness is useless: Usually it's much too dark, and the auto-setting is changing with strange behaviors.... it's kinda jumping up and down as other described...
[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
Thanks, since others are experiencing it too, at least I'm hopeful that it will be fixed in a SW update.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Heiko123:
Did someone contact the asus-hotline?
[Asus Transformer TF701] efgyy:
Same thing here, bought the unit in the US and also experiencing the same awkward behavior. This would actually go away when Auto Brightness is turned off.

I am also getting issues when docked. Sometimes after some time (maybe a couple of hours) as soon as I tilt the tablet to its normal position, I would find it completely off. Had to turn the device back on a couple of times now.

These are too many annoyances for such an expensive unit.

Hope they fix the Auto Brightness setting at least.
[Asus Transformer TF701] vBoedefeld:
Disabling Asus Splendid app in settings -> apps seems to stop this behavior.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Yezariael:
I am now on 4.3 and it seems to be better (just some hours). It is not as dark as before and doesn't hop up and down every second :good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] efgyy:
How did you do the upgrade to 4.3? Seems like it is not yet available for the US. Would you install another SKU from TW lets say, if your tablet were from the US?

I really feel like upgrading cause there are too many things not working well on 4.2.2
[Asus Transformer TF701] Yezariael:
In Switzerland it was OTA :good:

Either download right version from asus.com or wait a bit, I guess it will not take long until it's rolled out everywhere...
[Asus Transformer TF701] calimocho:
I totally agree. It's much too dark on auto and the constant jumping around drives me bat$#! +. For a 4th Gen, nearly $500 tablet, you'd think this sort of thing would be figured out by now.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Yezariael:
You did not read my statement about update to 4.3, no? :cool:

It's very fine now, bright and constant :good:
[Asus Transformer TF701] calimocho:
:( Mine is still the same after the 4.3 update. I can see whatever algorithm it is working. For example, switch to a dark screen, wait 2 seconds, watch it darken a little more once a second for the next three seconds. Then the reverse in switching to a mostly white screen/app.

The good news is the dock doesn't seem to disconnect anymore.

Just can't decide about this thing. I want to love it as much as I loved my TF101 but I just don't (yet?)
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
Theirs nothing wrong with your device. It's the ambient light sensor built into the device. ..
[Asus Transformer TF701] calimocho:
Absolutely. It's just really freaking annoying.

I have it right here in a bright office with fluorescent lights, which I would think would vastly marginalize the amount of light reflected from the display itself back into its ambient light sensor. Merely dropping down the notification column causes visible shifts darker (when coming from a light background) in steps, over several seconds. (and it's in the dock on the desk, so the device isn't moving at all)

So my argument is the algorithm used to determine the backlight of the screen puts to much weight on the white balance of the screen. It's distracting and annoying. And it would be one thing if this only happened on "Auto Brightness," which it does not.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xRevilatioNx:
It doesn't bother me as much. I actually love how it gets really bright when I'm surfing the Web. (while reading)
[Asus Transformer TF701] derekk1:
I updated to 4.3 and this didn't fix my issue either. I read the response above about this being normal with the light sensor, but if you have auto brightness off and the Smart Saving also off I don't think the screen should be doing this. It doesn't do this on my TF101, TF201 (yes I kept mine), or my Nexxus 7. It's not just a matter of having the screen dim or brighten when I move around, I can be sitting completely still and I open a web page, the screen dims a step, then dims again another step. I up a new page, and then screen brightens a step, then I scroll down on the page and it dims again. Or, I pull down the status menu from the home screen and then 1-2 seconds later (I agree it's some algorithm) the screen dims. If I turn smart saving on and then off again, the problem usually will go away until a reboot, but also sometimes just going into a non-display setting menu can cause it as well.

If the screen dimmed once, when I opened the browser and then stayed at that level as long as I was in the browser (no matter how many pages I accessed) and then changed again when I went back to the home screen or another application, that would be fine and I assume that that is how the whole Smart Saving think is supposed to work, but if I'm scrolling through web pages, having the screen dim and brighten 10 times in a 15 or 20 second period is unbelievably distracting.

I'm going to try a complete return to stock and re-install without any downloaded app's to see if that makes any difference. Other than this, I've been very happy with the tablet and I'd much prefer some fix. If it was random, I'd believe it's a hardware issue, but because, like the other poster said, it seems like a predictable algorithm, I think it must be software related. I'll let you know if anything works. Thanks.
