Would I be able to install windows 8 on my apple IIE? Its a computer too after all :D:p
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
What a sad responses. If I am not mistaking this is XDA, a developers forum. Do you guys remember the HTC HD2? That one has WM, Android, Meego and WP running on it. The devs there developed everything themselfs. Bootloaders, kernels etc.

I would wish someone to port WP to our S4. It is possible, but extremely unlikely that this will be achieved.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
Not really anymore...its now a 'fix my fone naow, I want the quick fix' forum
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You are forgetting the "devs" that unzip a rom, theme it and apply other peoples mods, rezip it, open a thread, upload it and ask for donations because of all the hard work that they have put in. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DSA:
True..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
The HD2 was a unique phone. It's a bit more difficult now with proprietary drivers and such, that would require extreme reverse engineering. It's like our S4's can run CM & AOSP etc but it's very difficult to port a closed driver to take advantage of the full camera abilities for example, the TW camera is miles better than the AOSP ones but with closed drivers it's near not possible to port this to fully take advantage of it.

One day, wishful thinking, we will have the ability to buy a phone and load whatever OS we wish like we can with our desktops to some extent but that's wishful thinking.

Is there an easy way to enable / disable flight mode?

For example, run an .exe to enable, and another to disable?

Hi Noodleman,

read the thread http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=34831&highlight=

See my posts there (Conchas), and the .exe turned available by Koksie.

Just what you're asking for.

The same .exe toggles between enable/disable.

It is really great :D

[G2 General] itaylubo2:
Hi,

First for the managers, it's my first post here in XDA, so if i did something wrong please fix me and dont lock the thread, thnx :)

Ok so lets begin:

I'm debating between the Nexus 5 and the LG G2.

I know it's LG G2 forum but i need your recommendation, so please answer seriously.

Usually i use the phone to play games like FIFA 14, Modern Combat 4, NBA 2K13 and more heavy games.

I need powerful battery that will hold 8-10 Hours at least.

I know that the G2 have powerful battery, but is it wroth the price of him?

I'm liked the Nexus 5 interface, does the G2 have some launchers that change it like the Nexus interface?

The G2 and the Nexus 5 is almost the same phone.

The only thing why i dont buy it right now it's because the software updates, i heard that it gonna be something like 2-3 updates for him and thats it.

Is it true?

Thank you ! :)
[G2 General] MobileNick:
Might be helpful to specify what country and what mobile phone carrier you plan to use it on, and also how much of a price difference you would have between the two phones (since that can change depending on country).

Personally, I *love* my G2 - especially it's battery life. But ... I also got it for $150 on contract. If I were comparing direct prices it would be like $600 for the G2 and $350 for the Nexus 5. For that kind of difference, I would definitely go for the N5. I cannot find enough reasons to pay such a premium for the G2 no matter how much I like it. Lose some features and battery life, but you also get Qi wireless charging which can make it more tolerable, and the regular updates is a nice bonus! :)
[G2 General] matheus_sc:
i think g2 with asop is the best device!
[G2 General] itaylubo2:
Ok, thank you !!

btw, nice price for the G2 !

Can you explain why?
[G2 General] Mandelbrot.Benoit:
You didn't answer MobileNicks questions. It looks like you are in Israel? What's the price for YOU? In U.S. the price is a major factor as it may be for you. Since you didn't mention it though I'm guessing price is no concern for you and your money tree?

And what carrier bands are in Israel? If you want band 13? Like Verizon in US then Nexus 5 is out. You didn't mention using it as a phone so is it just a gaming device?

If you want updates get the Nexus 5.

Do you ROM? Nexus 5.

Battery, screen, camera G2.
[G2 General] matheus_sc:
more than 5 horas screen time with asop, beatiful screen quality and lg camera works with asop, only lacks sd card to be perfect.
[G2 General] itaylubo2:
Thanks for the prompt answer.

Actually i dont know about the band but i know that it is not an issue here. About the price, well in Israel the price is almost the same (LG is 50$ more expensive).

I want to buy it in US.

Maybe i will root him, but not sure.

The usage will be more of gaming then phone...
[G2 General] Intub8:
How do you expect a mod to not close this thread. All you need to do is read the rules and use some common sense. Like maybe posting a question in the thread for questions and answers. I think you would be better off with a nexus 5 only so you can post in that forum.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRUMSBH:
Hello! Has anyone ran into roaming issues on their G2? I have everything setup for roaming but I still often times get the grey triangle in the status bar saying I lost data because I left my home network.

I do remember back in my HTC days that even though you told the phone its Ok to roam, it still wouldn't enable it unless you added the data widget and enabled it through there.

Any help would be great, I've attached my settings for you guys to see.

Im trying to install CM 11 via PhilZ and CWM and it gives me an error while installing, something with metadata recursive, status 7...

Anyway, I figured I should install the CWM from Odin, can anyone tell me which one to download?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxPixX:
If you currently have Philz kernel then download for example Raw Kernel (any version) and flash it through recovery. You won't be able to boot into your old ICS after this but you can flash straight to CM 11 with Raw. Don't forget to do a full wipe though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthropostar:
I believe error 7 often indicates youre using an old/incompatible recovery-version.

Try updating that first. (install a different kernel..)

[General Questions and Answers] mrtaim3:
You have installed the rom which is not basically configured for ur country.. download stock firmware of ur Phone.. Make sure its of ur own country.. then in the zip file go to system/etc/firmware and copy the modem.img file and make a flashable zip file using this guide. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2163974

After creating zip file.. flash it through CWM or TWRP recovery.. then reboot your phone :)

Hey there, thanks for replying. So, do I make a flashable zip of only the "modem.img" file? and then just flash it normally like any other zip through cwm recovery.. is that what I should do? also, i don't quite understand the procedure described in that link.. do i just replace the modem.bin file or what? sorry but i'm really not sure how to go about this??

Hi yes it's probably better with a picture, today i succeed by replacing the black latch on the zif connector.

I replace the ribbon on the connector, and i the ribbon seems fasten when i pull on it.

I reassemble all pieces of the nexus 7, but the screen is still black.

When i connect it to the Pc, i can see the nexus 7 but nothing on the screen totally black.

I try differents thing holding power and volume + etc...

And the nexus is alwways black, i heard some sound when i put my hand on the screen so the touchscreen works.

I probably need to change the LCD ribbon ? something to check compatibility of the LCD with the Nexus 7 or this the ribbon ?

I tried to rattle my power button and barely hear anything. I tried to see the light leaking and bleeding and once again nothing. I was so paranoid about dead pixels and dust lol that i spent 15 minutes examining and cleaning the screen with a micofiber cloth under a powerful flashlight to see if i found anything and nope. I'm glad to say I got one of the perfect units since I was so paranoid that my 32Gig Stormtrooper was going to have dust under the screen.

Just for people who think they have no faults, might be worth checking with a dead pixel checking app, might surprise you!

No dead pixels (I can notice ;) I returned an HTC One for dead pixels).

Bluetooth Quality

The only issue I have with my Nexus 5 is Bluetooth Connection Quality. This issue was persistent from brand new out of the box, and through flashing of custom roms.

With my Nexus 4 I would connect to my speakers in the next room via bluetooth while in the bathroom taking a shower. Connection quality was always perfect. With Nexus 5 it will connect and sound great, but will get the occasional static and distortion you find when going out of range of your bluetooth receiver. The problem is that the distance this is happening over is between 10-15 feet. Never had this problem on the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Used 2 dead pixel apps and a magnifying glass as well. I was really paranoid lol. Only thing is that the speaker volume actually is low and I'm coming from a Galaxy S2 and I'm disappointed in the speaker quality.
[Nexus 5 General] F123D:
Loose power button but everything else perfect. Not worth RMA'ing for. Slapped a case on the phone and power button now firm and solid.
[Nexus 5 General] -A-P-M-:
Mine is also perfect. Yes power button rattle a little if I shake a phone close to my ear, but I dont care about this because normally I dont do that..
[Nexus 5 General] bloot:
No faults that aren't already known (low speaker, slow camera focus...)
[Nexus 5 General] chk27:
I really quote you.

Using speaker in a car is useless.

My unit is perfect, from a technical point of view, it is the phone itself that has some flaws i didn't expected, one is the speaker
[Nexus 5 General] ggoomani:
Same here 16gb Black one arrived yesterday. It is thankfully fault free... the button not being machined to the same size as the button opening on the side.. is literally the only part of the phone that could have used extra attention... certainly half a step below iphone build quality.. But very satisfied. Next to my wife's Note 3, I am very happy with my choice. They made a plastic and glass phone look as solid and premium as could be. Certainly an advantage over Samsung phones.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

Speaker... Yes. it is lackluster, but serves its purpose. I have not noticed issues as severe as others in watching youtube videos... Everything is clear enough to be understood for spoken sounds and voices..... But, will need external speakers to fill up a small room. especially for music listening. Clearly, Google and LG were not aiming high in this area. It was the biggest issue when I decided to switch from the htc one. Clearly one area where htc is superior. It almost did not require external speakers to enjoy. My old Samsung epic (Galaxy S 1st version).. actually has a better quality speaker with more range. I guess it is understandable to cut corners to meet a price point... I wish they spent an extra $2-$3 on a better speaker (oem cost).
[Nexus 5 General] budwizer:
The speaker in mine died within 30 minutes of getting the phone. It'll occasionally work for a second or two then cut back out. Contacted Google and have a replacement one on the way.

[Nexus 5 General] Ady1976:
Already checked mine with a dead pixel app and can't see a single dead pixel, however i still wouldn't be bothered even if i did see 1 dead pixel in the app testers but couldn't see it in normal use as lcd screen are not guaranteed to be 100% free from dead pixels it's part of the manufacturing process.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
If people haven't noticed it just using the device and they are enjoying their N5 why would they bother doing this? What would it accomplish?

It is one thing if you are using your device and notice it and, it bothers you but another thing if you go looking for it when you otherwise wouldn't notice it. Odds are you would then return it, get another one with more dead pixels and keep looking for that perfect one and when it comes to dead pixels it is so hit or miss it is like a never winning battle.

People should not go looking for problems. Let the problems find you and if it doesn't then it really isn't much of a problem then.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Even with light bleed the device is still fault free. It is part of the tech. Light bleed is normal on a display like this. Some can have it worse then others. Either way it is not a faulty device. It is like the black spots on a Amoled screen when you look at a black screen in the dark. It is part of the tech it is not considered faulty.
