[Nexus 5 Accessories] sosquidtaste:
Yikes, I was hoping to find exactly this thread about a couple of weeks ago before I ordered the very same.

My experience with the charger has been largely the same. Seems to charge just as quickly as my official Nexus Orb, the LEDs are not super bright, and while my phone does get slightly warmer, I would be surprised if anyone considers it hot at all.

As far as comparisons with the official Nexus Orb, the materials look the same. If anything, I think this one is *slightly* lighter. Both orbs are identical in terms of the sticky materials. My N5 has never slipped a millimeter on either orb.

EDIT: Oh one big difference is the power adapter block itself. On the knockoff, the adapter is one of those stupid, massive bricks that takes up like two and a half outlet spots on a power strip. It drives me crazy. I brought my Nexus 5 adapter into the office so I can have those other one and a half outlets back. That's probably my only big gripe with the knockoff.

Official vs Replicas

Not sure if others have had the same experience but I've been using the official Nexus 4 Orb for almost a year now. I bought one of these replica's about 4 months ago for half the price of the official. I have to say, it's pretty neat. I've always been a fan of docks on my desk but the orb is brilliant as it serves a dual purpose for me (dock/stand plus charging ofcourse).

Anyway, all in all, they both work great as mentioned above. However, the stickiness of the replica isn't quite the same after a few months whereas the official nexus 4 orb is still perfect for me. Having said that, people had different experiences with even the official one so it could just be me. A great device at the end of the day and well the good news is that it still works after 4 months! (I'm just not very confident of the phone sticking on it overnight/for long periods as I have seen it slip/slide whereas the phone stays perfectly on the official one overnight).

I tried to write the 337_AWS.qnc file to my i527. No go! "COULD NOT RESET THE PHONE. COMMUNICATION ERRORS OCCURED". Device would not reset. If it helps, I was able to backup and save my current NV memory file. But even when trying to write that back up file to the device, I would get the error. So it seems that I can’t write any file to my i527 with this method? Which leads me to believe if I could have written the 337_AWS.qnc to my device it would have worked. No? Any help here?

Can We Start a bounty for a AWS.qnc file for the AT&T SGH-i527? I will gladly start the bounty at $100.00 !!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] curgervending:
I thought they were compatible by default. T-mobile and AT&T now run on the same frequencies for both HSPA+ an LTE. So as long as your phone is unlocked, you should be able to put your t-mobile SIM card into the AT&T mega and get HSPA+ and LTE. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:
My phones are unIocked and they work yes, but only if I'm in a refarmed area that has been refarmed for the 1900mhz band. I need to enable the HSPA & AWS bands so I get tmobile everywhere there is coverage for tmobile otherwise I will get 4G only where it is refarmed and edge other places.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:
Metro (T-Mobile) is coming out with the Mega Next week. Can we back-up and save the AWS.qcn file from the Metro Mega and use it on the AT&T i827 Mega seeing how Metro is T-Mobile now?

How to set/change your preferred network on the i527

I guess I am all alone on this one huh???

I may have found the Answer to one of my issues anyway.... :victory:

I could not for the life of me find the Network type setting which is suppose to be under Mobile Networks, like every other phone...This phone is set by Default to "LTE/GSM auto (PRL)" I did not know that. So After Unlocking this device, I was getting 4G in 90% of areas then dropping to E (edge) in some areas, I was just living with it until I could get the .qcn file to Enable T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands on AT&T Galaxy Mega SGH-i527. But now that I changed the preferred network type to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) I no longer go to edge.....

I'm not sure if I still need to Enable the T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands by changing the qcn file when I get it or if this is good enough. Anyone? :confused:

Okay, how to set you preferred network. On your i527: Just dial *#*#4636#*#* then Select Device Information then Set your Preferred Network Type. BE CAREFUL IN HERE !!!! You can do some Damage if you cahnge a setting that you can't undue or forget how you got there.....

If this helped, please let me know (and hit the Thanks Button, it's 4am here and I gotta call it a night, er... morning) :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
Just for information what is wrong with having LTE "on" and what's bad about dropping to edge when the faster data connections are unavailable.

I know its slower but it gets me by if I just wait?

I knew about changing the network in the coded menus (actually I think it's choosing the bands that the phone responds to) and when I change to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL) I loose data connection all together.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
If we do this, we lose LTE right?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
Well I do!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Christogq:
Just making sure I'm not the only one lol. The only difference is that my battery life is a lot better, but I lose the LTE speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:
Actually... I had to set my Mega to WCDMA Preferred (My carrier does not support/provide LTE Yet). and I am still getting Edge in areas. I will Definitely need the .qcn file to Enable T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands on AT&T Galaxy Mega SGH-i527. I will post it with instruction as soon as I have it.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mingkee:
Why don't you wait for modem ROM from MetroPCS version Mega which practically similar with T-Mobile?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:
Should have a Metro PCS Mega within a week...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:
As soon as the Mega is out for Metro PCS, I will post the AWS.qcn file for those interested in Enabling T-Mobile HSPA+ AWS Bands on their AT&T Galaxy Mega SGH-i527.....
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:
When you write the .qcn file it writes the IMEI as well, how do we edit the IMEI From the .qcn file that we back up from the Metro PCS Phone? Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ysr84:
I have tried the qcn for tmobile device i9200 I believe and it wont work....

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:
Sweet... I will send yo the file ASAP. The Mega Arrives today. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dque:

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 PM ----------

You should upload the file so all interested Devs can take a shot at the file and we can all work it out together if you dont mind
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:
I absolutely will! I will have it posted Monday. The phones were suppose to be in today and they didn't show, they will be in on Monday, and I will post it Monday for sure.

In the meantime I need the IMEI removed from the qcn file that I backed-up from my i527, can someone remove the IMEI from this file? I will post it now.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rekamyenom:
File would not attach as a qcn file had to zip it

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crusindownthestreet:
Hey guys, I've had my G2 for about a month and a half now. The battery was absolutely fantastic for the first month. I could go 20-25 hours without needing a charge. Now a days I can barely get 15 hours on the phone. I did a complete factory reset on the phone and that did not fix the issue. I did not install any other apps since the reset, kept the screen at 40%, switched off all bluetooth and NFC options, yet I still lose 5-8% in my pocket every hour. My question is, could it be a physical problem with the battery itself? What are my options?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbeitel:
From what I read it can't be done because of the way Verizon has the nfc/secure element on the sim. My reason might be off but I know I read it cant be done. Isis works as an acceptable replacement

Does anyone have the corrwct apk? It's not compatible in Google play anymore with the N3. One Verizon rep told me the other day it was.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybhunter:
Possible solution

Unless the device is running 4.4 or CM 9/ 10.1 , the Note won't have the required NFC libraries to allow for HCE. Rooting doesn't rellay make any difference as the libraries were needed at the time of compiling the image file.

Hope this helps

Availability of patched Google Apps Device Policy for Android 4.2/4.3 +.

This is another method of force securing the device to have a PIN/Encryption when using Google Apps.

Though you may have access to Google apps email via IMAP adding Google apps email account requires you to install and activate apps device policy app.

Wondering same way people have patched Email and Exchange Services apks, could we think we can patch App Device Policy app so we could continue to use the features the way we want in our beloved phones.

Purpose of this thread is to bring some attention to the App Device Policy app patching.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhumble1:
Greetings all-

My coworker got a shiny new Verizon LG G2 last Friday. He knows I am a phone geek so he handed it to me to check it out. I booted it up and fell in love within about 3 seconds. You know what it was?? The notification LED.

I have been using a HTC DNA (powered by ViperDNA) for the past 5 months and I REALLY miss having a functional LED. I use LightFlow and got so used to being able to determine notifications with the screen off thanks to the LED on my previous phone (GNex). So I played with the G2 a little, checked the specs online, and decided to get one myself. My company has plenty of phones that qualify for upgrades and there was a special that made it cost a whopping $0.

I immediately started researching available ROMs and recovery methods. I know this is one of the new hotness phones out so I knew there must be some sweet dev going on.

So I get the phone, root and install TWRP, and install my chosen ROM (a very popular one here). I am not gonna name it because I know all devs here do excellent work and I don't want to seem like I am talking bad about a ROM by name. The ROM does what it says, it runs well with no real bugs, and it is fast as hell.

That being said, I can't help to be disappointed. The ViperDNA ROM is AMAZING. I mean, it is everything imaginable in a ROM. Every element of the thing is customizable, removable, colorable, and everythingelse-able. This ROM for the G2 is missing a LOT that I assumed would be built-in. I can't even move the clock in the status bar, or remove it, or color it. I can't make the navigation bar transparent, or the notification bar. It is driving me crazy that I can't even change the notification icons. They are ugly as hell. The battery icon does not even show the remaining percentage. Also there are no Settings options for overclocking, voltage regulation, CPU governor, or IO Scheduler. Sure I can check these with other apps from the Market, but I like having Settings options too. These tweaks are not important to everyone, but they are important to me.

I did try another ROM that is more of a CM10-ish variant, but that looks even worse. Plus I like a lot of the LG apps (especially the email camera) and I want to try to keep some of the identity of the device.

Make no mistake, this G2 ROM is very good. Please don't think I am hating on it. I know the dev is still working on it and is very active here and helpful. I am pretty sure the next versions of the ROM will focus on newer version of Android (4.3, 4.4) so I am not sure if any of the things I want will be in there.

So what's a guy to do?? I am so spoiled by the amazing ViperDNA ROM. Do any of you know if there are any ultra-customizable ROMs out there for the G2? I know the phone has not been out more than a few months, so maybe it is just too early.

Thoughts???

So I installed Xposed and I bought the associated Settings app from the Play store. It does allow a few of the things I want, but it's just a taste. I still have very ugly battery, 4G, service, etc icons in the notification bar, and the notification icons for apps also look bad. Baby steps... at least now I got rid of the clock on the notification bar and made the navigation bar smaller.

I still have not mentioned the name of the ROM I am using now on my G2. I am hoping that eventually there will be skins/themes/mods available that will allow me to make things prettier.

Thanks for the info guys.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakestimac:
I mention in that review that the face of the device is covered in Gorilla Glass 3. This doesn't necessarily mean that it's on the lens. If it's anything like the G2's build materials, the lens could be covered in crystal sapphire glass, but Google doesn't specify this.

Apple has not confirmed to anyone whether they use it and they are not listed on Corning's website. They have not used it before and there is a chance they still aren't. The sites you looked up are just making guesses.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
Well.... Apple has never really been one to let the cat out of the bag when it comes to details about their phones. Kind of like how they filed suit against Samsung because their S-Voice software was a lot like Siri.... with a lot of people apparently failing to realize that both Siri and S-Voice were based off of voice recognition software created by the same company.... Nuance.... who also just so happens to be the creators of the software called Vlingo.... which is freely available for iPhone and Android. :confused:

It's a messed up world we live in.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eliad Kimhy:
I doubt it's sapphire. It's not the actual lens on the camera, it's a large circle of glass covering the the camera module and the rings around it.

I'd think this would already be answered by now, what with camera being all protruding and vulnerable to scratches. My suspicion is that since it hasn't been brought up by Google itself, it is regular glass.

P.s who cares about the iPhone? If we need a point of reference for gorilla glass there are tons of other devices out there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GunninZombiesdown:
So you chose to ignore the 3 quotes I had from companies in the industry to post one from a no name person on an Apple forum? Probably a good idea. Did you not realize there are other Apple forums that "confirm" it. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2753001?start=15&tstart=0

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] molive:
Just going by my own experience, when upgrading to a new ROM version, I have had to set up a new partnership in ActiveSync.

By default the Contacts were not selected to be synchronised, so I had to go into the ActiveSync settings and select them myself.

After that they all copied across no problem.

Hope this helps,

Matt.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Moandal:
Yes, one of the many bugs in Activesync 4.1 seems to be that even if you select contacts to be syncronised, the first time it has a habit of dropping contacts from the sync list.

Thankfully for me, when I selected them again, they copied across fine 2nd time onwards.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] yohanson:
Still no luck:-(

Thanks for the replies. I deleted my partnership and synchronised the whole lot again....still missing the selected contacts. I wouldn't mind but they're the main contacts I use.

All the contacts that won't sync either had photos or notes attached...odd!

I've had all the spv's that have been released and i've never ran into this problem:-(
