hi all, im new to PDAs and have no idea. im trying to get my XDAii on the net, network, email etc using my wireless SD through my router. the router is set up right as my friend brought his PDA round and his connected fine

on the router im using a shared key, my XDA is at out of the box state. no settings changed apart from my contacts which has been added. i know its not the SD wireless card as it worked in my friends pda. and also my router it tiptop as it worked on my friends PDA also.

Basically what im after if possible is a step by step guide how to set it up. i have the default drivers as to be honest. i cant find a site with spectec drivers. and i have the WLAN software installed. when i soft reset the card is picked up as settings/connections/advanced/network card its showing connected. but i cant get my email, internet or anything internetty to work or use the wirless setup. it tries to connect via gprs etc. i dont understand all these network profiles. all i have in there is MMS network, my work network, and my ISP

I have gone into each of these settings to try and edit these to accept my wirless(dont know why as im clueless) but there isnt anywhere to say. wiless card. it only says cellular line etc in the set up modem

Bottom line i dont know what does what. im new to PDA's

So if possible could someone give me a step by step guide on how to set it up?

wireless card is spectec 802.11g model

Hello Everyone.

Let me just start by saying I AM NOT a developer and do not take credit for this information. Just did some Googling and came across it and I haven't really seen this in the forum here and I really found it useful. It is a link to an article with instructions on how to set up ADB without the massive developer download that comes packaged with the standard Android SDK. Written by Lalit Indoria on the "Hack My Android" site.

Basically it allows you to easily run ADB commands without ANY complicated set up. Remember you will still need the proper drivers for your device and always follow instructions so you don't bork anything up. I followed this to both flash the new 4.4 image and also root my Nexus 4. With it being the weekend I don't suspect we will get any OTA until Monday at the earliest so for those of us that are growing ever impatient.. here you go. Enjoy. :good:

[Nexus 4 General] fredericve:
Also on recent debian distributions (currently debian jessie - testing - and debian sid - unstable), or ubuntu quantal and newer, you can simply install adb and fastboot by installing a few packages:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
Mini-adb comes with adb.exe, fastboot.exe and two adb .dlls needed to run adb in windows. So basically to run adb all that is required is 3 files. Also fastboot doesn't require anything except the executable. Mini-adb has been out there for about 2 years that I know of on androidforums.
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
If you do that, you also need to do step 1 from here: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/245-ubuntu-precise-install-android-sdk
[Nexus 4 General] .Harshit:
You can install the Wugs nexus toolkit. It has all the features you need.
[Nexus 4 General] fredericve:
That was not necessary on my debian Sid install. Yesterday I simply installed the packages, Co nected my nexus 7 and used adb sideload to flash the kitkat ota.

The steps seem to apply to Ubuntu precise. Maybe it is not necessary in newer versions.

Hello everyone, I'm new in here and I'm using Nexus 4..

I really want to flash custom ROM, i need better performance and battery life..

I don't care about features or costumize anything except performance..

So what ROM should I use? And I'm planning to flash custom kernel too. I heared Franco kernel is great..

But besides that, I'm totally noob with root and flashing rom..

Thanks before. Your suggestions really appreciated . :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blinde:
Stock. Simple and no need to flash it over and over again with pretty useless nightlies.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3act:
If you want a few basic custom options such as configurable tiles, battery percentage, torch, and a screen-off button to save your physical power button, I would go with Cataclysm ROM. This is stock with those few options added. I feel it's like what Peter Alfonso used to do with Bugless Beast in the past.

I'm waiting for Cataclysm 4.4 which will be out soon now the factory images are released...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaka88:
Thank you!

But it not satisfied with my battery life. I want to flash custom ROM and kernel because i want to improve my battery life and performance also..

So what should I do?

I heared there's a mod to raise battery life and performance..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3act:
Really; try Cataclysm ROM. It has battery saving features such as smart 3G, do a search and read about it in the Forums.

I usually use Primal. But so far Stock 4.4 is as fast maybe even faster. Haven't really got a good battery read on KitKat yet. I would get 5hrs screen time out of Primal. With calls, surfing, txt and camera.

IMO Carbon based ROMS seem to be the best.

if you're new to the whole flashing thing dont start.... once you start it aint gonna end. i started with my N7 and have flashed waayyyyy too much roms to end up right back at stock 4.4. on my nexus 4 i have not yet flashed any custom roms cause i found that stock rooted roms have the most reliability,stability,better battery life, and most usability from all others.so far with my 4.4 stock i have 12h39min. and 19% left. thats through talking,surfing the web downloading,and playing games. slightly heavy usage today. i think 12 hours is good enough for me. my advice flash 4.4 stock,root it and dont flash custom roms. its fun with all the features but stock is always better. my opinion.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaka88:
Thanks everyone! I'll consider it..

[MENTION=5182870]podagee[/MENTION]: i thought that custom ROM can improve batterylife..

After reading your reply, is root improving battery life? And which root app that you installed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torstenconrad:
I think this is what you want: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47439423&highlight=battery#post47439423

Best battery might be Semaphore kernel + Purity ROM 4.3

Good luck!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] podagee:
root doesnt improve battery life it gives you privileges to all areas of your device. i use mine for removing apps that are built-in the rom,bloatware. the ones you couldnt remove now can be removed when rooted.i usually keep my device simple by removing playbooks,magazines,youtube(replace with ogyoutube) google currents...etc.... anything i dont use. i install cleanmaster,to clean up leftover cache and to free up occasional ram space.

as for rooting the 4.4. follow the guides they have in the Q&A section if you use adb&fastboot.unlock your phone. install your 4.4 stock.flash a custom recovery,i like twrp. then flash superuserv1.65 in custom recovery and your good to go.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedgess:
There is no certain ROM/Kernel you "should use", your use may vary to someone else or vice-versa so battery life may not be as good for you as it is for someone else. There is no best, head over to the development section and see which best suits your needs.

Like most of us here I love KitKat combined with the Google Experience Launcher BUT that 4x5 appdrawer is a waste of screenspace with those BIG icons! Been playing around with changing DPI and discovered it only takes changing the default 320dpi to 316dpi to trigger a 5x5 appdrawer!

320 to 316 really is nothing, doesn't give a weird tiny look to the status- and navbars and it all looks great! I'm using a free app called texdroider-dpi (Playstore) but you can also edit build-prop...

Hi i've just moved from a P910 to a MDA Vario. The device is Great so far expect for one thing. Unlike my P910 i cant seem to add multiple mobile numbers per contact. Is there anyway way of doin this without havin to use other fields like business etc. Also how can you change the ringtone for sms. Thanx for any help in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] _mlk_:
Change MMS/SMS incoming ringtone:

Windows->Settings->Personal tab->Sounds & Notifcations

Nofications Tab

In the Event combo select "Messages: New MMS", and change the value in the Play Sound combo.

Same for "Messages: New text message".

How many people have multiply mob numbers? And I'd guess each mob no would be for a spersific use (like biz, personal, etc)?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silentvisitor:
Hello friends,

I am considering to buy a Note 2 to replace my main device as Sensation's touchscreen failed upon me.

I have few questions and I will appreciate your valuable replies.

1. Is Note 2 hardware good enough for next 2 years? I don't play much games and mostly Subway Surfer, Real Racing, MC4. Maybe half hour a month. But I want to be able to run all upcoming Android versions (atleast till developers support this device).

2. I read about SDS somewhere few months before. Is every Note 2 affected? I can't afford to have an expensive paper weight.

3. Does Note 2 have some dual-boot kernel?

4. Any ROM with Note 3 features esp that circle popup thing (or its my wishful thinking ;)) ?

5. Otherwise which would be recommended Custom Stock ROM, Recovery and kernel (dual-boot is definitely preferred)?

6. Any other major hardware bugs?

7. Btw, could someone guide me as how to check if I decide to buy my friend's old Note 2? How I check it for faults esp hardware? I am getting tempted as I could save some good money for other accessories ;)

If there is something else which hasn't come to my mind but is important please feel free to add. I would be much obliged :)

Thank you so much !!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxDroid86:
1. Im fairly sure the phone will be extrwmwly adequate 2 years from now (obviously no one knows for sure) but the quad core processor is very capable of playimg the ges you mention. Although there are devices out that already have octo core processors, they all are only usong 4 at any one time and the differences are bare noticable at best.

2. As long as you are getting your phone from an authorized dealer then you shouldnt worry about SDS as that comes with older models and should come with a warrenty that would allow for replacement (one way or another)

3. The guy that built the (either S2 or S3) dual boot kernal was receiving donations to help him fund the tools to make it back in Jan-Mar of this year and I havent heard anything since... nor have I seen anything about it anywhere (atleast not on TMO LTE version. Youre more than welcome to search around a bit yourself)

4. Yes and No... there is but Team E (or whoever) has certain restrictions (really just permission only use) on alot of the Note 3 features that have been made for the Note 2... not really stone walling development, just protecting their hardwork and asking for proper credits, no alterations without reporting back to them, etc... it will be in every new rom eventually

5. Really a matter of who you ask and personal preference. I myself love Ptmr3s Jedi series (Master for TMO WiFi calling or X for other Note 2) but thats because 4.4 isnt out and I love the functionality that TW has for the particular device (samsung hasnt open sourced their SPen, MultiWindow, etc) so theyre not on non-TW BASED roms.. if you prefer AOSP, AOKP, or Paranoid Andriod, or PACMAN, etc than there are carious roms to pick and choose from. As for Kernal... each rom will provide (or users will post kernals that are compatible (I.e. dont use just any kernal on any rom... only what has been tested and proven).

6. Nothing major that isnt morw than an isolated incident at best... obviously of roms are newer or in nightly stages there will be bugs but nothing really hardware related... should mention sometimes on calls, the person your talking to will here themselves (echo) but that is sorta sparatic at best and most roms its not that bad and nothing major (again not really hardware related)

7. eMMC bug checker app. Download from play store, (look up the thread on here) and it will show you what to look for

Hope this helps...

Ultimately the Note should be continued to be developed for some time and able to withstand another 2 years of updates and new handsets. Already have 4.4 on TMO (omnirom - though not a daily driver) and carriers are pushing out stock 4.3 ASAP

Thank you for detailed reply.

So if I am buying new deice I wouldn't have that SDS bug. Right?

I am little surprised (and disappointed) that a powerful device like Note 2 doesn't have dual-boot functionality. That way I could run both Stock (I love various TW functionalities) and AOSP/AOKP/PA, etc ;)

Could you plz provide link or name of the ROM with Note 3 features? Does it have that circle thing?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxDroid86:
Find out the model of the note 2 amd visit that particular xda thread for further info on uograded custom roms amd updates... also (in case you dont know better... dont flash a rom designed for a dofferwmt device (model number) unless you know what to do.. youll lose cell service and have a bunch of stuff to do just to fix it (some people have ecpensive paper weights)
