Yeah it works great, I have tried it too but it comes with a cost of loosing some stock apps, installed apps and data. Wouldn't it be great if we can just do the OTA update without having to loose anything and also keep root?

Thanks for trying again, I'm starting to think that it's my phone or region's problem. I tried a lot of different methods but none worked.

Sad case for me...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I unticked the wipe boxes and didn't lose anything ;).

Well, what happens?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpmaheshbabu:
Hmm, it turns out to be like this.

Once you are on 14.1.G.1.534,

1. Root it with VROOT, Install Super Su Pro, update binaries and enable survival mode*.

2. Reboot and unroot using VROOT and reroot then update Super Su binaries.

3. Repeat Step 2 twice.

4. Now try to do the OTA update.

Let please let me know if this didn't work. Thanks and good luck.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] qtlestat:
Hey guys!

I am thinking about buying this phone this month. But I just have one question. I know that I can't expect the pictures from the camera to be able to hold up to other flagship phones but how is it compared to the Nexus 4?

I currently own a Nexus 4 and the camera is average. If the camera of the Z ultra is better than the nexus 4 then I'll buy it tomorrow :p

But if not, then I may buy the Z1. Although I really want the Z Ultra because I want a bigger screen.

If possible can you also post actual pictures taken from the Z ultra and the Nexus 4 so that I can compare them? :D

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] YrrchSebor:
You could have a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2395123

In my opinion, the Nexus 4 takes way better photos than the Z Ultra. It is more or less accepted around here that camera quality is one thing you sacrifice by buying this device. The pictures just tend to look washed out I'd say. But there are some who feel it is adequate

Also, just look right below your thread... An entire thread dedicated to discussing why the camera is so bad, hehe
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Well if your phone is main imaging device, better look elsewhere, but if you own SLR you'll know none of the smartphone can actually achieve a good SLR quality (maybe the 1020 but then again) so for me for instance, doesn't bother much about the camera. At least it can capture the moment for me.

So i just got my moto x this afternoon and ive been trying to install some things are not in the play store including the pwnmymoto root method. I Keep getting a prompt saying the play store dosen't like the app and i choose the "i understand button" and as soon as i hit next i get a msg saying the app not installed. I've tried everything I can think of; dose anyone have a work around?
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
if you just got the phone it probably already has the ota firmware on it so pwnmymoto won't work. as far as the app not installed, you need to go into settings and check allow 3rd party apps, you also will find some setting somewhere to tell the phone not to check the apps for security concerns or something. There might even be two places for this, one in google settings somewhere and one somewhere else. just look around and you will find everything.

let talk to devloper to port kitkat rom here.

whats say ???
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] coolkoushik07:
But the quad core used in quattro is backdated and can be compared with latest dual core processors and also gpu is not good in comparison with the price value. And samsung even did not release v4.2 for our quattro so it is expected that they wont release update for 4.4

I think someday samsung will give us update atleast 4.2 but if they can give 4.4 its a miracle :p

[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] zanini007:
why no 4.4 NOW?

Samsung focus on the new devices like SIII or S4, so i don't think ur device will get any update. We will need a custom rom anyway...
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] Snehashish30:
Motorola has gone to new heights by saying that all of its Android devices launched in 2012 will get the 4.4 update as the new OS is supposed to support low end phones...The Moto X is getting the 4.4 today...

Its a shame that Motorola do not sell Android phones in India
[Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro] azewata:
i8552 ROM update please

I believe KitKat could fit well in galaxy win as it is designed more for the low memory gadgets....actually, someone has build a ROM 4.4 already for this device....and I have tested it working perfectly the only problems are most of the major settings do not function as expected like WiFi, 3g network, and dual sim support and maybe some more...but at least I found no fc for it....so maybe just a little fix for the WiFi is needed including the sim support, 3g network and maybe more.....

_________my 1st post but not my 1st try for the ROMs here_____I use I8552 running stock after JASProm and n8000 running perfect kitKat by ibrahim____thanks to all developers for the support and making things possible.......

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kevperz:
Hello everyone,

My phone is currently unable to make or receive phone calls. Outbound calls show "dialing" for about 30 seconds then end. Incoming calls go straight to voicemail. My data and text messages work just fine. I have odined back to stock unrooted and factory reset and the problem persists. Is there anything else I can check or anything else I can do to try to get my phone portion to work?

Thank you for your help.

-Kevin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tim.janov:
have you tried flashing stock kernel and stock modem? Is your IMEI still intact? I would try to ODIN flash ICS onto the phone, then let the phone contact Verizon and upgrade itself to JB.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kevperz:
I tried to flash stock roms and still receive the same problem. took it to verizon and they changed some switches on their end but could not fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Daino92:
My advice to you is to wipe/data factory reset from stock recovery, then Odin back to the very first ICS firmware and take all of the OTA's. If the problem is still happening, you might need to take it back to verizion and get a new phone. Just make sure you reset flash counter. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] postal302:
Was there any resolution on this? I'm searching for the answer to the same problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kevperz:
This is still a problem for me. I went back to stock then took the OTA for 4.3. Same problem. Funny thing happened. One day i received a phone call out of the blue and it actually connected on my phone. For the next 3 days my phone was working just fine. On the 4th day I could no longer receive or make phone calls again and my phone was back to its broken state.

I also noticed that while my phone is unable to make or receive phone calls the battery drains extremely fast (4 hours on full charge with moderate use). My phone is always running hot as well.

This is no longer just a problem with phone calls but is causing me to charge my phone 4 times a day.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabenaute:
Go to the recovery mode and do all the wipes(data/cache/partition/factory reset)...;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravichandna.92:
Download a new the stock version in download mode via Odin...

Then you can reinstall your ROM in recovery mode... :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlycastro:
First thing is to go to your recovery again. May I know what is your recovery? Is it CWM? Then, if you have important data/files in your internal sd card don't wipe your DATA, just flash a ROM then reboot.

After you reboot, get your important files and transfer for a while in your external sd card then try a clean installation of ROM

1. Format system, data, cache.

2. Flash the ROM

3. Reboot

Hope it will work.

thanks bro! it help me. I just flashed to the stock firmware.make me worry dere the phone.now working like a stock firmware.time to flash back to the pac man rom again.its awesome! hehe thanks for all the help guys! will be extra careful not to format the /system file again.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braneless:
I always wipe system before flashing a new rom. Just remember that system is your OS and if you wipe it without subsequently flashing a rom, there will be nothing to boot into.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ron_gangte:
I'm looking for an upgrade from Optimus 2X P990. I've a shortlisted a few phone that are in my budget, they are the N4, Optimus G, Optimus G Pro, and the Xperia SP.

There are a few questions I have.

Firstly, I'll buy an E980 AT&T version if I am to get an Optimus G Pro, but will it work with the Indian Service providers flawlessly?

Secondly, why isn't there as many ROMs as there has to be for a terrific phone as this? Is it because of the Locked Bootloader?

Thirdly, does the FreeGee support mean that a Pandora's box of ROMs and Kernels have been opened?

Thank you all.

Regards,

Ron
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
It all depends what you're looking for. True, the OGP lacks dev support, but the few ROMs we work nicely and the hardware is fantastic.

I wouldn't bother with an N4. The AT&T LG Optimus G (LG-E970) has almost the same exact hardware as the N4 but a bigger and better screen with cap keys and an external SD slot. But, since everything else is 97% the same as the N4, the OG gets updated custom ROMs just as fast as the N4 since the sources for the N4 can be use for the e970 with very minor changes.

Sent from my Vanir 4.3 LG-E980
[LG Optimus G Pro] ron_gangte:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I did consider the AT&T E970 for the reasons you mentioned. But then again, the hardware and design of the E980 is too tempting to let go. Wondering if the development for the phone will grow in future. If so, this will be my next phone, hopefully. Also, since it has official CM support too, doesn't that secure the development of ROMs for at least 2-3 years? :/
[LG Optimus G Pro] psal217050:
Not necessarily. With 4.4 now out, the CM team would still need to add the device. However, personally, I do think this will get the 4.4 update one way or the other and I won't be jumping to a new phone anytime soon.
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
I just traded my galaxy s4 for this phone and couldn't be happier. installed cwm and flashed carbonrom.. loving it! :good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] adizzle23:
This phone is a great phone and the developers that we do have are great. We will continue to get updates because the hardware is too good to just leave on jellybean. This is my opinion of course, so I am clearly happy with the e-980 and don't plan on getting another phone anytime soon.
[LG Optimus G Pro] donalgodon:
I did the same. I love the e980.

[LG Optimus G Pro] dante501:
Short answer. Yes.
[LG Optimus G Pro] thenellt:
I was looking for an upgrade from my aging galaxy note and this thing is absolutely wonderful. Top tier specs and much cheaper to pick up unlocked then top range samsung stuff. The only downside I've found has been that the custom rom support isn't as good as most Samsungs I've owned so just check out what is available for the optimus G pro and see if it's enough for you.
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
this phone is capable of way more than the samsung galaxy s4 that has the mf3 update. mine did so I traded for this phone :good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] ron_gangte:
I'm seriously thinking of getting the OGPro now. But it's only the lack of development that worries me a little, hope it gets better with time.

Thank you all for your valuable suggestions.

Basically I managed to fix it.

As most of these issues it was a PEBKAC. Dont. Ask.

Model is C5303, Was trying to flash one of the custom stock kernels. The symptom was that the device would not switch on. Not the typical "it's booting to the Sony logo". It would be dead, caput, finito.

Anyways after looking around in forums etc, I could only find the simulated battery pulls (power and volume rocker) that were working on the Ion, but wouldn't work on the XSP.

So I tried Volume Rocker + and the Power Off button under the back cover.... Voila! Fastboot mode!

I had been here for a while, I got the impression that the best HTC device is the o2 exec. so I am getting one.

I would glad if you can clear out the following points from someone who already owns one:

YOU DONT HAVE TO SAY HOW TO DO IT, SIMPLE ANSWERS WILL DO

1- does skype work fine like the pc version, if yes then does it work over Wifi and gprs?

2- can you play high reolution videos, since I would like to watch movies on my exec, can you divx, at what resolution\ bitrate.

3- is there a problem with tom tom 5?

4- now the most important question, how well does the exec handles games. I am mainly looking at worms, might be playing some 3d games.

and mainly will be playing playstation one emulator.

5- is it possible to unlock the phone i.e. using diffrent networks? how much would it cost?

thanks for your time

edit: mod feel free to move it if its in the wrong place
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Killbillprime:
Hi I went for the XDA exec because it looked better in black then the other SP versions.

answers for you.

1- does skype work fine like the pc version, if yes then does it work over Wifi and gprs?

>>Yes have used it over WIFI not used it via GPRS- quality is still not all that.

2- can you play high reolution videos, since I would like to watch movies on my exec, can you divx, at what resolution\ bitrate.

>> Yep I use The Core Media Player (TCMP) works great for Divx etc

3- is there a problem with tom tom 5?

>> You can get tomtom5 working but needs alot of tweaking, loadz of info on the forums.

4- now the most important question, how well does the exec handles games. I am mainly looking at worms, might be playing some 3d games.

and mainly will be playing playstation one emulator.

>> I play worms world party works a treat no freeze ups or lags.

Havent tried another realtime stratgery game (cant remmber the name sorry) worked great.

5- is it possible to unlock the phone i.e. using diffrent networks? how much would it cost?

>> Most of the Execs that have been bought come already unlocked I bought mine from o2 online and it was unlocked, but mate bought his from the store and it was sim locked, so depends on were you buy it from, dont know if the ones now being sent from o2's website are sim locked or not.

I belive O2 charge between £20-25 for the NUC- but not to sure on the price.

There is work being done on this site for an unlocker.

thanks for your time

>>My pleasure mate iv got no complaints so far on my device and im geting my monies worth out of it.
