[Q] "Recently Added" Playlist as a mistake

Hello guys,

My HTC One is synced with iTunes via TuneSync app. As you may know, iTunes as it's own "recently added" playlist.

From day one I have noticed that Sense 5 stock music player app has also recently added playlist, but it's having some issues.

The native playlist shows songs that have been added months ago, and those I have synced lately - no showing up at this list at all.

Does anybody know why this is happing? Is it HTC software mistake, or a problem with TuneSync app?

i tried this but not worked for me: http://www.droid-now.com/2013/10/fix-working-fastboot-drivers-windows-8-1-x64/

there is no more solution?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] jimilegolas:
I was wondering too.

How do developers work? They have just stayed on win 8 or 7?

Anyway, I am running on dual boot (8.1 and 7) but I would love to be able to do fastboot on 8.1

UPDATE - response from Samsung Engineer...

HELLO AGAIN guys - I have an update...

I was so pissed by all of this - mainly because I was SURE there was something that I was doing wrong, and that I couldn't figure it out.... SOOO - I called Samsung, and went to tier 3 support and spoke to an engineer (called the main support line, got to the Mobile device department, then Galaxy Gear), and they said that they were aware that the notifications with Microsoft Exchange accounts, even those set up within their stock app, were temporarily broken and would refer the user to open the mail on their phone.... but an update is being released at any time now again to the Gear which fixes this issue. By taking the Exchange authentication/security out of the loop, this is why my manually set IMAP version of the same email was working. He assured me that they received a large number of calls on this specific issue, mainly because of all the business users who rely on Exchange as their email method, using the stock mail app. So he promised this was being addressed asap. At least, I now KNOW that this was not just me, and that I was not nuts. If it's "supposed" to be broken right now, and they are addressing it, then I'm fine with that and can use my IMAP workaround for the time being...

Thanks very much everyone - have a great rest of the weekend!!!

Anyone know if the current crop of KitKat roms for our phone plays nicely with Buzz Launcher? I've put together a couple of homepacks for the launcher which I like. Would hate the hassle of upgrading rom, radio and bootloader to find Buzz gives me problems with FCs and so forth.

Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hurrycanger:
I am not sure if this is just my unit or is it a general issue with the Mega 6.3

I have the i527 (at&t ver.). And in this post, I am using specifically about the front camera. The quality looks pretty decent in the camera app, but the taken photo is just so blurry. I tried taking a screen shot while in the camera app to compare, and it looks a lot better.

Anyone experiences the same issue? Is there any workaround to take better photo with the front camera?

Thanks

Is t mobile galaxy s4 bootloader unlocked? How can I check??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Yes as of now T-Mobile GS4 shipped with unlocked bootloader.

☞ Sent from here☜???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dreseansr:
As of now? So it was locked before? I got mine about 2months ago.. How can I check?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
It was unlocked then, as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dreseansr:
How are you sure? Is there a way to check? I dont want to get stuck in a bootloop, I'm new to rooting
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] VeryCrushed:
It has always been unlocked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dreseansr:
Where does t mobile state that though?

Yeah I should have worded it differently. What I meant by "as of now" is all M919 up to this point (from the start):D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tgyberg:
Anyone found one that works well after the update? No ads on my phone (rom'd Note2) apps but they are all over the place on the 7!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AlderCass:
AdAway works for me, works via the hosts file so it blocks ads everywhere
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] johnomaz:
Same for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tgyberg:
Yea I tried AdAway and it was wonky for me. Maybe bad download? Where did you guys get it? Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buckeye_jeff:
Try, making sure your SuperSU binary is up to date then clear the adaway's data in settings. Launch the app and download and apply the host file. I had to do this step a couple of times but once it updated without stopping/crashing everything has been working.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AlderCass:
I noticed if the screen goes off while AdAway is updating the hosts file, it'll hang and the only way to get it up and running again is force stopping and clearing the app's data, but keep the screen on and you should be okay
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tgyberg:
Worked! Took a couple of tries for me as well. Thanks :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ConradTDI:
Both Adblock Plus and AdAway are working fine for me - I use both, since they use entirely different methods of blocking ads. They never conflict for me, and whatever tiny loss of efficiency exists is a terrific trade for NEVER seeing an ad, anywhere.....ever.

They survived a non-OTA 4.4 upgrade and re-rooting for me. I lost wifi manager and the Xposed framework, but nothing else.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dalelane:
I've emailed O2 support (O2datasupport@O2.com) to ask about a problem with my Exec losing email accounts.

Despite emailing them twice, waiting over a week, I've heard nothing from them - not even a confirmation that my mail was received, let alone a proper response.

What experiences have others had with O2 support? Is my experience typical, or have I been unlucky?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] knowsleyroader:
It all depends on who you get. I had a terrible time with them this morning, needing to speak to 3 different people before my problem was solved. One woman put me through to another department without even telling me.

I would email again as you usually get an automated response almost immidiately.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mikealder:
I have had no problems with O2 support, OK sometimes its best to demand tech support (depending on the question) as for your e-mails going missing they (02) have had some computer problems recently - last week, I spoke to them and they explained this - Mike
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dalelane:
do u mean the normal O2 support, or the o2datasupport advertised at www.my-xda.com/

cos i've normally had very prompt responses from the regular O2 support, but they said I'd have to try O2datasupport@o2.com for specific problems with my Exec. and they're who i was talking about when i was saying that I never get any reply.

ah well, third time lucky - tried emailing them again this afternoon, i'll see what happens!

[Nexus 5 General] parmend:
i live in fort worth and set 41 to 1 and the others to zero and i have lte , so does mean i have tri band in my area? and will the other bands set to zero still be used when needed . thanks
[Nexus 5 General] mevensen:
True enough, but you need to get the right logcat app, some don't work as well as others. I initially tried aLogCat, but didn't seem to work. CatLog app worked great, however.
[Nexus 5 General] lilotimz:
Just saying. No one has been able to get a B41 (TDD-LTE 2496-2690) connection with a Nexus 5 and that's with actual maps of Clearwire sites that's been upgraded and knowing where each site is located at. I've personally visited over 24 sites to no avail and know of others that visited many sites as well. Looks to be a much bigger issue than just changing up the LTE Engineering settings and may be network related.
[Nexus 5 General] nsxla:
Just got the phone but I'm pretty disappointed with the LTE speeds 1/2mb down, outside it's a bit better. Went downstairs and it disconnects from LTE altogether. Anyone know if it's a radio (hardware) issue with the phone or firmware radio? Some spots of my house won't even catch LTE, whereas my s2 would get wimax.

I've tried spark but it makes my connection more unreliable more pocket loss, but indeed it does seem to make it faster, placebo? I'm in Los Angeles don't know if it's been rolled out. I tried updating prl/profile to no avail. My next choice would be to try the LG 2 in hope of it having a better radio.

GPS is spot on, and wow this thing is fast!
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
Just a question, but wouldn't prioritizing band 26 make more sense since that is the 800MHz frequency band?
[Nexus 5 General] uh60james:
No, band 41 has the most capacity so you would want to connect to that if you are actually in range of it. It will automatically drop you down to the lower frequency bands as you move out of range of the higher frequency bands.
[Nexus 5 General] jxr94:
Sweet, thanks for the explanation!
[Nexus 5 General] ggoomani:
Hello, I tried this on my N% for Sprint today. btw. I live in N. OC, near Los Angeles. If I happen to be in and out of spotty LTE coverage areas. Will these adjustments cause more battery use or or worse performance?

When viewing HD youtube videos, it seems to play smoothly for a while, and then pauses as it the speed is going and up and down or being throttled.
[Nexus 5 General] guoting2409:
About Band 41

So you means the Band 41 is unopen under default setting?

we need to open it by manual?

You know, the biggest mobile carrier China Mobile's 4G is TDD-LTE, and also use the band 41

But if I use the 4G sim card, it still work in 2G.
[Nexus 5 General] nsxla:
I am with uh60james spark seems to offer more throughput and less disconnects.

I drove to Corona from Carson the other day and i was shocked how much coverage sprint has improved on. I wasn't able to stay connected to LTE on my the entirety of my drive but it is impressive how Sprint has extended lte coverage around corona at least on the freeway.

Spark works better for me, less drop offs.
[Nexus 5 General] jtangm04:
I am in Naperville. Will check this out and see if tri band goes this far out west from chicago.
[Nexus 5 General] tyler.durden:
I haven't heard anything about DFW having Spark anytime soon, so more than likely not. I live in Arlington myself, and would love to see this area Spark-enabled sooner than later.
[Nexus 5 General] sbslammer:
Enabled this on my n5 a couple weeks ago .... dismal speeds on lte in downtown Los Angeles as usual around 4 down and 2 up.... Yesterday for the first time spark kicked in and I got 44down and 14 up. BUUUUT today its back and slower than ever. around 2 down/1up on LTE
[Nexus 5 General] dr2001:
Seems that due to Nexus 5 lacks TD-SCDMA for China Mobile 3G, it is very hard for Nexus 5 auto connect to LTE.

You need *#*#4636#*#*, change mode to "LTE Only" and wait connect to band 41/38 cell and then change it back to "LTE/GSM Auto (PRL)".

After it, you will on LTE until one of following happens: no LTE cell signal; incoming call; make a outgoing call. If fallback to GSM, you will need another round of "LTE Only" settings. Please check some chinese forums, there are plenty of guides.

It seems N5's baseband firmware did not implement some directly GSM to LTE function and do not support China Mobile 3G, so ...
[Nexus 5 General] finalhit:
Don't compare lte and wimax. They are using different frequencies (higher frequencies less capable of penetrating walls) and possibly broadcasting from diff towers.
[Nexus 5 General] Lake56:
How do you know which band you are connected to? Is there an app?
[Nexus 5 General] ElementR:
Thanks for the guide. I'm getting speeds of 20 Mbps now in Tampa, a HUGE improvement of my usual speeds.

I was able to obtain my MSL without ADB and a PC by doing the following...
[Nexus 5 General] jtangm04:
Anyone know if the 4.41 update affects the tri band settings?
[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
I checked the settings after the update and all bands were still enabled. I still have the problem of the band priority never seems to stick when I change it.

I also noticed they added "Recommended" next to LTE in the mobile settings, or maybe it was always there and I just never noticed it?
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
That is definitely new. It wasn't there before the update.

I'm going to give it a little bit of time, but I feel like my LTE speed is slower after the update in all areas. I am in a location that's going thru upgrades though and isn't an official LTE site though, so it could be that they're just working on things.
[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
I have noticed my phone not connecting to LTE as often as it was before the update. I live in a market that has not been officially launched but we do have LTE popping up like crazy. I work in NYC and I have always had a good LTE signal but horrible speeds, today after the update my LTE signal seems weeker but I have slightly faster speeds.

I think something was definitely done to the modem that is affecting LTE in some way.
[Nexus 5 General] lilotimz:
Thew new modem dramatically decreases the radio reception for the Nexus 5 on Sprint by about 5-10dBm. Before the update the Nexus 5 was at the top of the pack and arguably was the best RF performer. With the new radio, the N5 was knocked down to the GS3 / HTC One level of RF performance which is far inferior.

Flash the old radio if you want to keep the superb RF performance.
[Nexus 5 General] testinguser:
Anyone in Kansas City getting spark to work?

EDIT: Only getting band 25, no sprint spark in the city that has the sprint HQ!!
[Nexus 5 General] metallized:
My preferred network is set to global by default... But LTE is recommended.... What's the difference and which is better ?
[Nexus 5 General] nibrwr:
Sprint reps told me Global
[Nexus 5 General] Atticustrd:
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but seeing as it's a Sprint thread I'll ask... Using a custom ROM and disabling mobile network makes me lose network and service can't get it back. I have to flash my efs backup to get service again. Could this just be a ROM issue? I like to turn data off when I'm not using it.
[Nexus 5 General] mrjeff2:
yes

[Nexus 5 General] charlie95113:
Foreal I work around corona any ideas on the bands you have on and off
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
Have any of you had an issue where when you turn WiFi off the phone connects to 3g instead of LTE even when there's LTE available? This had been happening for the last few days on multiple ROMs. It's to the point where I either need to reboot or toggle airplane mode to trip LTE on and then is fine for a while.
[Nexus 5 General] Raistlin1:
Is this on an N5 or a different device? I am in NYC which is supposed to have Spark and I cannot get speeds faster than .5mbps let alone 20 or 50.

Edit: Duh, NM, I see the device type on the graphic. So then it is not true that we need a "software" update to get the benefits of Spark, all we need to do is enable all the bands. If that is the case I wonder why I cannot get Spark speeds in NYC.
[Nexus 5 General] limeaid:
This is a well documented issue. The same thing happens to me all the time in nyc. I'm giving sprint until the end of January to get this fixed otherwise I'm jumping to T-Mobile

http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...-due-to-circuit-switched-fallback-technology/
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
Thanks for that info! Hopefully it's really fixed in a couple months like they say. Glad it's a known issue and not my device.
[Nexus 5 General] EvanA:
We have to get a software update to enable the bands. Normal consumers do not know how to.
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
One more quick question for y'all.

Do you use Global or LTE (Recommended) and do you see any difference between them?
[Nexus 5 General] robber:
That is insane, pure fantasy number even as recently as a 2-3 years ago.
[Nexus 5 General] nibrwr:
I like to specify LTE or 3G. When my phone is on Global, I notice more "Searching for Signal"
[Nexus 5 General] mjs2011:
Man. This is just really frustrating. I actually just got 1x signal in an area where I consistently get 25mbps down. And this just started happening a week ago. It hasn't always been this way since I've had this phone.
[Nexus 5 General] sbslammer:
Ya all I did is enable the extra bands for lte. Its also noteworthy that the coverage is very limited. I only get spark on one bedroom of my loft - not the other. So there's really just pockets of spark coverage. I'd say 95% of dtla still has normal slow 2-4mbps lte.
[Nexus 5 General] nsxla:
Same here I use to get lte in my room but now it just jumps to 3g, WTF sprint.
[Nexus 5 General] busyychild:
Enabled 26 and 41 last night in the Boston area. Now I get limited LTE service. When I do its a weak signal. Same issue now when I disable 26 and 41.

Has any one force a prl/profile update after enabling them. I'm going to try right now.

Also, can anyone get the priority in this order:

41>26>25

Best I can get is:

26>41>25 or

41>25>26

How can you tell what band of LTE you are connected to?

Update:

Updated the PRL. Now have 55017 from 55016. Not sure if they profile updated or not.

Has this been working any better recently?

Ill have my N5 on Monday and will be able to test it out in the Needham/Dedham area which have had pretty decent LTE coverage.
[Nexus 5 General] busyychild:
I work in that area. There is no Spark signal in Mass as of yet. Confirmed by my experience and through Sprint reps. I was told they aren't even testing in the Boston area.

I'd hold off until its confirmed.
[Nexus 5 General] zivan56:
FYI I've added the ability to enabled the LTE bands without MSL in my app if you have root access. Link is a few posts above this one.

Just go to Menu -> Root Settings -> Advanced LTE Settings.

Nobody uses those bands over here, so I can't test it to work for sure. But settings stick after the mandatory reboot. All it does it bypass the MSL dialog, it doesn't write to the EFS or anything like that.
[Nexus 5 General] CRIME INC.:
So you can enable spark without msl code?Is that what you're saying? And what app are you referring to?

sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus
[Nexus 5 General] zivan56:
It should in theory. As I mentioned, no such service/provider around here, so I can't test it for certain.

[Nexus 5 General] zivan56:
I have only tested it on pure 100% stock rooted Nexus 5. I can't say what the author if each ROM will include...generally if they built it from AOSP it wont work. If they took the Google ROM and tweaked a few things/didn't remove the Sprint APK, then it will work.
[Nexus 5 General] graffix31:
Works on cataclysm. Anyway to add a do you want to save dialogue? I just wanted to see if I had the option and when I tried to back out even without changing anything it made me reboot. Great app though
[Nexus 5 General] zivan56:

Has anyone pulled the LG proprietary code in the RIL to create a flashable zip that one could flash on top of any ROM to make these dialer codes work? Just curious.

[Nexus 5 General] Den9696:
Love the phone and haven't seen any spark signals yet. Boston shouldn't be far behind. Seems like this area gets updates quickly.
[Nexus 5 General] AdamLeonard:
I find this thread confusing. I enabled bands 41 and 26 and set 41 as the priority band and it made no difference (I'm in Austin which was just announced and I'm right downtown 2 blocks off the main highway). So I was doing some research on it and the guys on S4gru.com said that you can enable the bands but until Google issues a firmware change that adds Sprint's Spark protocol, you won't be getting Spark (which my experience certainly seems to bear out).
[Nexus 5 General] Ep3n3wp:
Got my msl from sprint chat today and confirmed by running adb logcat...

Went ahead and enabled all bands and set priority to band 41.

I'm in So Cal(orange county area) which I believe is the La Market... I drive and go all over so cal for work so I'll try testing every now and then and give any updates when I find "Spark" network.

Is there an app or map that would show potential spark towers or towers that could be spark enabled?

---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

Downloaded app and am able to bypass msl and change settings..

Thanks for the app.. Made it a little easier to switch settings on the fly..

Also what are other uses/options in the app? What's field test?
[Nexus 5 General] nerv8765:
I live in Orange County, too, and I've been getting pretty good LTE speeds, but no Spark connection just yet. Granted, I don't travel too far away from my home area. Definitely let us know if you find anywhere that has it, I would like to try it out. (LA county is fine, too, since I live close to the border)
