[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VodkaPlease:
so a factory reset is recommended before installing a custom rom?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
Yes but i never do, i just install not had a problem with it yet
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VodkaPlease:
i see sorry for bothering but right now i am backing up my version before installing the custom rom but the factory reset will delete the back up?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
No but i would put the backup on external just in case
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VodkaPlease:
where is the backup located ill throw it to my desktop
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
Should be cwm /twrp folder then backup, just backup the backup folder
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VodkaPlease:
i see thank you very much but installing a custom rom such as X note i will notice a performance boost also is it odexed?

EDIT:its asking me which CSC selection to choose

BTE

DBT

ITV

XEF

XEO

which one i need?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
Yes you will a little bit., if you are stock you definitely don't need to wipe just install

If you want fast flash a custom kernel you can overclock the cpu and other stuff

[LG Optimus 3D] Bbaghi:
Hello guys.

I made a backup some time ago with TWRP manager. 3 files (system, data, and another one)

Now everytime I try to restore this with TWRP restore mode I get stuck on LG logo and it costs me headaches getting it unbricked.

Phone is rooted, bootloader unlocked and sitting on stock ICS. I have to say I made this backup when sitting on a custom ICS rom made by OptimusRS.

I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, anyone can point me in right direction?

thank you!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] odyseus:
Hi All,

I just got a MDA Vario (HTC Wizard) from T-mobile (UK) and installed Activesync 4.1 OK (well it caused my Windows XP machine to crash before I updated the Nforce2 Motherboard drivers!).

Now, I can install & remove programs OK.

But I can't get my emails and contacts etc from Windows Outlook 2003 (Office Pro 2003 SP2) to my Vario - even though activesync does a synchronisation??

Also contacts generated on the Vario don't end up on the PC outlook 2003 either??

Any ideas ? Before I have to manually enter all my contacts & addresses??

Cheers

John
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] colonel:
for me active sync works first time out of the box.

you chould have a look at all the options and make sure they look sensible. Under options-->sync options. make sure contacts is ticked and settings look correct to you.

As your device is new, I believe you are entitled to free support from microsoft for 60 days and for tmobile for the life of your contract. I don't know about tmobile support but I have always found the microsoft technical helpline extremely good, and surprisingly few consumers use it!

rgds
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] odyseus:
Thanks for that - it must be something to do with mt desktop PC as I loaded Activesync 4.1 on my centrino laptop and got my contacts onto my MDA without any problems? Both are using the same Windows XP Corp so I don't think it's a windows issue and the only real difference between the laptop and the Desktop is that there is a ADSL/Router with Firewall connected to the Desktop, which may be upsetting the transfer of data from Outlook?

I did try a Bluetooth connection but that didn't work either??

Strange that I can load/unload programs, browse my PDA through Activesync but I cannot exchange data from Outlook 2003 to the PDA??
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] colonel:
this could also be a problem with your outlook profiles. i.e. it could be that it is syncing, but with a new profile that does not include your old data. Have a look at the outlook options.

The extreme way to deal with it, is to export or backup all your outlook contacts and diary and other data. Uninstall outlook, rebnoot and make sure you delete the folder under program files. Then reinstall fresh. Setup to sync with PDA and then reimport all your old settings. Although this is a last resort.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] odyseus:
Well do to a corruption of my root hard drive MBR I had to reformat and re-install windows (A nice long job!) - and would you believe it, that the newly installed activesync is now working properly - ie emails and contacts are synchronised on both the Desktop PC and my Vario???

Oh well I'll know next time !

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LSGio:
I have 2 questions:

1.can i root my lg p768 with locked Bl cause i just wanna tweak it on the stock rom (V20C)

2.if the answer to 1 is yes so what is the difference between having locked or unlocked BL (what are the benefits)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] jufece:
1. Yes.

2. L9 with Unlocked Bootloader can install custom roms and/or kernels
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LaDY Vengeance:
2.5 Unlocking the bootloader is like winning the lottery....lol.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LSGio:
but i also saw a thread called Locked BL recovery installer

so can't i use it to flash CWM and then flash roms?

here is the thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2095825

and this thread is what brought me here to ask the same question again:

if i can root my phone and flash recoverry on it without unlocking my BL so why should i unlock it?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] noob.gamer:
Yes you can root your phone with CWM on locked BL but there is no possibilty of changing ROMs in future.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] LSGio:
So you mean an unlocked BL gives me the ability to flash roms?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] noob.gamer:
Yes that is correct. However, re-locking the bootloader is currently not possible which means your phone will be out of warranty, so proceed with caution.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
that one? i only ever really use 3g and want to permanently disable this warning.

looked under the download app - no options, nothing in play store, data under settings etc.

any ideas?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
here is something.. but why am I seeing your screenshot in this one year old thread? :rolleyes:

http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/help-google-play-wifi-warning.17287/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
I have a hazy recollection that this is actually delivered from Google play online rather than the app. They used to have it triggered for any app over 10mb, then when 3g became mainstream they upped it. My memory is pretty crap most of the time so this could all have been a dream.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
How about you un-check "Download using WiFi only"? Aaand it looks like you've used a screenshot from a MIUI ROM, which isn't a crime, but strange :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tommo123:
i found a thread re same issue and that had the screengrab (same thing, wrong rom).

unchecking it works for that 1 time and 1 time only which means every time you update a large app you have to manually do it. it's pointless and a waste of time

there was a fix for the miui rom but doesnt apply to ours (in the downloads app but there's no options for it on our phones)

Trying to use the otg for trail camera pics off an sd card. Used "otg helper" and "stick mount" both with same result. Does not see a device to mount. No power to card reader (led indicator on reader). Piggy backed a second standard USB cable to use power from laptop to verif operation. If it worked I was going to get a portable power supply for use in the field.

Anyone been able to use the otg?

Any thought on on why my setup doesn't work?

Suggestions on things to try?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justice™:
I remember having to enable USB OTG with an app like kernel tuner before running USB OTG helper, maybe that's the case for this ROM

Tried a kernal tuner app. Didn't see an option to turn otg on. There is a lot of different things to adj. not gonna fiddle with anything until I know what things do. Do you recommend a specific app? What to look for in the app if its not plainly stated in the app?

Try just otg as in no y cable n try otg helper. No pc cos hdd failed and no dhd I am the unluckiest person ever. I'm getting a hdd replacement but my dhd isn't back!!!

Seny from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using xda app-developers app
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollywoodsmokeshow:
Nope that didn't work either. Tried just otg helper, just stick mount, kernal tuner with both kernel versions, with and without y cable. No device found in all scenarios. Now back to original Random Rom kernel. In kernel tuner with both kernel versions the turn on otg would not stay selected on. With patchas there was a fast charge option I selected to verify that a selection would stay as requested, which it did.

Does it hurt the phone to be flashing multiple packages?

Hiya guys,

I have been using an S3 for the last year or so and then recently migrated to an S4. I was using Wanam ROM until he recently announced that he was no longer gong to support phones he does not own. i understand this standpoint but am gutted all the same by his decision as i found his ROMS suited me very well indeed all round.

I am looking for something as functional but bloatfree and something that performs both in power and battery terms.

Is there any suggestions from you guys as to a new ROM choice for me bearing these requirements in mind?

I have had a lok around the forum and am looking at CM and Echoe at the moment but am very unsure as to my next move, im sitting here itching to flash this new phone and would appreciate your input.

Best rgards

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dohclude:
Hello all,

I just began experiencing something weird on my phone today. It has been working fine for a month, no real issues. I was using it this morning and data worked fine. I picked it up this afternoon and tried to do a search in chrome, no connection. I have 1-2 signal bars (which is normal in my area) and I am connected to LTE/4g, but there is no connection to the net, almost like a firewall or something is blocking the connection. If I switch to wifi I am able to connect to the internet fine. Could this be some kind of weird outage on the tower in my area, or did something else break in the rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
T-Mobile is doing a lot of Tower work. We had poor connectivity from the time I got the phone until last Thursday and then all of a sudden it started working a lot better. Even in the innermost room of the house which normally has poor connections.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Rookz:
So my bone stock Note 3 phone all of a sudden started eating up battery. Up until a couple days I could leave it for 9 hours and maybe 2 or 3 percent would be gone. Now after 5 hours it eats up 10 percent. I checked battery use details and it says Android OS is keeping it awake the whole time. So I installed Better Battery Stats and it shows that something called SMD_TTY_DS_RA is keeping a constant wakelock on my device. I'll include a screenshot and a dump file from BBS.

If anyone could help me figure out what this is or point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] parter28:
I see where you're coming from, I'm mostly interested on buying a good tempered glass screen protector. That being said, the most I would pay is $40 US and a decent $10 case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BrannonJB:
I like it!

I also like the looks of this case, but I have no experience with this brand. I'm a long time Otterbox user and have absolutely enjoyed peace of mind with a rugged or semi-rugged case on my smartphones in the past. I just ordered my N5 and I'm really looking forward to it as it will be my first Nexus devise but I knew that my accessory options would be limited for awhile. If a decent rugged case does hit the market I'll be all over it though. I tend to use my phones for three to four years so the investment of a high end case is well worth while in the long run. That being said...to each their own...some people are a lot more careful and don't need to worry about everyday drops and fumbles but I'm a frequent dropper.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] burgerpimp07:
If element does come out with a case I will probably buy the fake version for 25% of the price tbh haha.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] scandalousk:
I don't think you'll ever see a "high end" case like that for the nexus phones/tabets since there simply isn't enough demand for the phone/case. Meaning the manufacture(s) simply aren't interested.

For all the millions of accessories out there for the iphone/galaxy series, the nexus line only gets a few accessories in comparison. Couple of bumpers and a few cases of which a lot go by the same design. Nothing to "high profile" or anything.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] busab:
Dang. That is a sweet looking case!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] emo72:
yeah its sweet alright. for that type of money it should be. i guess i started this thread to see if anyone knew of anything coming out soon for the nexus 5. surely someone could make something around 40 euro that was really well made and looked good. maybe the nexus 5 will sell a lot better than the 4 and manufacturers will be interested.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] bornoxt:
The Spigen Neo Hybrid Case and the Spigen Case Slim Armor are really high-end cases.

I've purchased them via Amazon together with the Spigen GLAStR Screen Protector and they look and feel much more high-grade than other cases like the Cruzerlite or the Ringke Fusion.

The Neo Hybrid fits extremely well and the screen protector is awesome.

It's much more smoother than the Gorilla Glass 3 and swiping and touching is just a dream.

Give them a shot if you search a high quality case.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] BeerChameleon:
Yep the hybrid case is great! It looks nice the power and volume buttons work flawlessly. My only gripe is the headphone hole. It won't work well for fat plugs like computer speaker plug for example. But since I don't use it that often it isn't too bad.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] krabman:
I have the Neo and rate it as simply ok. It will keep the phone from getting scratched and doesn't look cheap and you have the feeling the phone may survive a drop. Or not. And yes, it is more slippery than the bare phone with a poor feel in hand. I also have the Seidio Dilex which is a little better looking and more likely to get your phone through a drop. That one has good feel in hand. There is still some hope that Casemate will come out with a tough case which I would buy in a heartbeat. Easily the best of any of the cases mentioned here all of which I've had in the past.
