[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varund7726:
I recently got my lg g2 d802 intntl

And I noticed my network seemed to drop a few times.

My network used to go and my phone stayed on emergency calls only for a long time

I rebooted several times ,pulled out the sim card etc

I thought it was a SW problem but I realized its happening due to a faulty sim card

Now what I realized was that the back of the sim card (the golden part) gets a 3 scratches on it every time I pull out the sim card along with the tray

And it gets worse every time I do it.

Anybody else have this issue?please let me know
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
why wud u pull the sim out so often?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wargreymon89:
Gotta love how this thread got moved to the development section coz it has a [D802] tag for whatever reason the OP put that there.

Your simcard might be old or too scratched up, either by this phone or another. I have only taken out the tray once to put my card in. I would reccomend you get a new sim card, usually you get them for free if you go to a store. If the problem persists, it might be something in the phone, if not, be happy and dont take it out every 10 seconds to check how scratched it is.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] megapixle:
I've seen a couple of threads today about blocked IMEIs from people buying used devices off of Craigslist. This can be a risky adventure but can also be done safely if you take your time and do it right. This is my advice:

1. When you call them ask the following questions:

-if they're the original owner (the more times a phone has changed hands the higher likelyhood something is amiss, or if they're selling it for a 'friend' that could be a red flag)

-why they're selling

-where they purchased the phone (no shady dealers)

-if they own the phone outright or if it's on a payment plan (see step 2 if it's on a payment plan)

-if they have the original box and all accessories (phones that are stolen commonly don't have the box and accessories)

If they offer any reluctance or defensiveness to the questions, move on, don't waste your time, something is shady with the device.

2. If you made it past step 1 and you've found they are on a payment plan, meet at a T-Mobile store to have them pay off the remaining balance of the phone. If they're unwilling to do this, move on.

This is the process I went through to buy my Note 3. I didn't make it past step 1 for the first 2 or 3 tries. I would ask questions and they'd get defensive, so I moved on. Ended up buying a pristine 2 week old Note 3 with all accessories, box, bag, etc. for $550. Buying outright with tax would have been $750 for me. Met the seller at the T-Mobile store, she put my $550 towards paying off the phone, and paid the remaining balance using her credit card. The rep factory reset her phone, put my SIM in it, and I was good to go knowing I have no worries of a future blacklisting.

Probably common knowledge to most everyone here but maybe it will help someone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
No. All you the buyer has to do is call the carrier And inform them that you will he using this new phone imei with your number at the time of sale . Once they assign this and it's clear at the time they cannot all of a sudden black list this phone on your account. The only time they do this is if you don't let them know and hope for the best..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Techngro:
I don't understand why people go through all this hassle nowadays. I bought my last 5 phones off Craigslist (well, 5 out of 7 phones), but ever since these scams have increased in frequency, as well as the fact that your phone could be blocked/blacklisted months after purchase, I no longer use Craigslist. It's just not worth the hassle or the risk. Even to save some money (and I do love saving some money).

Try Swappa for a less risky adventure.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coltonbauman:
Hey all, I recently purchased a galaxy tab 10 off kijiji, and I'm wondering which version I have. It says it's a gt p7500r which I believe is the Rogers variant here in Canada. It has a sim slot and wifi. Is there a more generic name it has, or a code name. I'd like to know what to look for when getting accessories or flashing roms. Thanks.

Hi boys!!

do I have a problem with the battery, (how is he seen by the pictures) less 51% the phone power off him and the battery goes to the 0%, has it already happened to you? possible battery problem? i have flash factory image google (android 4.4) to remove software problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathshead:
Hey gentlemen.

Verizon Variant still has no bootloader bypass to flash kernels and development as of 11/19/2013 seems to be a ghost town.

While the G2 scene compared to ours is on fire.

Anyone thinking about moving to the G2?

The white VZW G2 renders I have seen look pretty hot.

Right now the G2 has Loki, so they can flash kernels, etc and with it being the Nexus 5's sister phone

kitkat and 5.0 should come quickly.

thoughts?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bsmith0731:
If I was in my 14 day window I would try out the G2.

Im fed up with the radios on Samsung phones.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigillz:
Kinda. I guess if you're after AOSP stuff, I can see how the N3 situation would be depressing. Having many roms for many years, we're not in a bad place. KitKat will come soon, we're otherwise one of the few devices that is/was on 4.3. Custom kernels rarely amount to anything worthwhile but a bit of extra battery life. I haven't gone back to look at Note 2 stuff though I still have the device laying around, but I'm not sure how well they integrated the S-Pen in any of it.

The G2 is somewhat appealing, but the N3 is still the top device on the market (specs alone, not to mention battery size + removability and microSD). We have custom roms now (you can even safestrap beans, back it up, restore it over stock, delete the old rom slot and run completely custom with no issues). I came to the Note 2 and now 3 because of the S-Pen, and no other phone is on the horizon with anything comparable - otherwise I might have a more normal sized phone - except, again, the N3 is the top specced phone on the market, so I might have it anyway.

If the new HTC One/M8 met or exceeded the N3 specs, plus microSD and removable battery, I'd strongly consider jumping ship. HTC build quality is still so much better than Samsung/LG, and they are continuing to make camera a priority. It's a shame we can't get a Lumia 1020-level camera device on Android. I'd leave the N3 for that, for sure.

Edit: And yes, radios! My HTC Rezound had so much better radios than any Samsung.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabGuy:
I'd say that the Note 3 is the best phone I've owned. I'm not looking into a change at this time. I live more in apps than the OS so I'm OK with Touchwiz for the time being.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
I was at sprint the other day checking out htc one max and the white g2 is sharp except it feels like crap in hand and ui is awful i think. and buttons on the back get out. on a side note wish verizon has a red htc one cause it looks hot!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathshead:
I used to be a AOSP/AOKP Gnex guy. But I DO really enjoy touchwiz believe it or not!.

However, the option for true Hybrid roms would be great, plus having the leg up on waiting ages for either Samsung OR LG to update

thier devices once Android 5 or whatever comes around the Devs are always first.

Kernels are a pretty big deal for many features other than battery life.

Idk. I just think back to the Droid X days where the bootloader/Kernel really crippled the device in terms of making full use of the hardware.

Kinda torn. the Note 3 is a beast.

but so is the G2, while feeling better in the hand.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigillz:
Like I said, if it weren't for the S-Pen, I doubt I'd have had a Note 2, much less a Note 3. With the leaks of the HTC One replacement/update, I'd probably have a G2 right now and be waiting to jump to the HTC .. assuming I could get over not having microSD/removable battery.

And don't discount the Galaxy S5. You have to figure Samsung has some solid upgrades in store for that, likely above what the N3 has.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haza12d:
Have you thought about getting your phone replaced? Maybe you have a defective unit? I have two Note 3s at home , 3 co-workers have it, and my cousin and his fiancé have it and none of ours have signal/reception issues. Hoping your radio problems are solved soon, sir.

But the soak test hasn't happened yet?!
[Moto X General] JFMFT:
There is no direct causative evidence pointing to the fact that the NDA was broken and if that was why the soak test was cancelled. However, yes, the soak seems to have been cancelled.

It is plausible that the test was cancelled so that they could begin the general rollout instead; which, if true, is actually a good move by Motorola. I don't see why anyone should be angry that the soak is cancelled in light of the news of the general rollout. Once we have our hands on the update file, we can ADB sideload and profit!
[Moto X General] j2cool2012:

So far I think all of the 4.4 releases for the Moto X have had the random unlock lag. I found them worse on the tmobile leak then the AT&T leak but after several days of testing it seems to be present in each build.

Based on the build versions and compile dates I believe the AT&T and tmobile leaks to be nearly identical to the released Verizon 4.4 firmware.

Major bootloop

I've got a boot loop issue. I was rooted and on the latest OTA (camera update). I made a backup of everything using Titanium and copied all the backup files to my computer. Made sure SuperSU binaries were up to date and set up OTA Rootkeeper just to be safe. When I clicked to install the 4.4 update, I just get a bootloop every 30 seconds. I can't even boot into recovery, I'm assuming because of PwnMyMoto. I'm a little concerned at this point, anyone know what I can do next?

[Moto X General] chaoslimits:
Anyone notice a slight decrease in vibration intensity?
[Moto X General] jimmydafish:
That will not resolve your issue or get you to the point where you can install the update. You no longer have a recovery b/c the root method installed a boot.img where the recovery existed. to get into recovery and the ability to install the update you will need to flash the 57-1 recovery.img file.
[Moto X General] stillthisguy:
It would most certainly resolve the bootloop issue, and then unrooting, which just needs a flash of recovery.img, system.img, boot.img would get someone to the point of installing the update.

[Moto X General] Cst79:
It's clear to me that now that Google owns Motorola Mobility, they are trying to do everything they can to help the company succeed. One thing that they can do is to ensure that Motorola smartphones get the Android updates ahead of others. Of course, this also implies carrier deals but I think that carriers are happy to do this as long as Google offers to help them and this is what probably happened.

This is probably why the Motorola phones get the updates ahead of the other (even Nexus) phones: Google needs to ensure Motorola's success.

Unfortunately, this comes at some expense: not all manufacturers get the same knowledge at the same time. Motorola is probably privileged.
[Moto X General] piccit:
I'm pretty sure part of the whole deal is that moto isn't allowed to be privileged. I think (tho I could be totally wrong) that all manufacturers got access to 4.4 at the same time.
[Moto X General] Cst79:
Deal between who and who ? I am pretty sure that Google did not cut deals with anyone, besides writing a terms-of-use warranting that the Android will always be open-source and royalty-free. Since Motorola is Google, you can't stop Google from getting access to its own code, even if some agreement would exist.

[Moto X General] jimmydafish:
Your conjecture is pure, supreme Bovine ****, all mfgs are given access same time, nice try in stirring the muck.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

It will not, as the method to root installs the boot.img onto the recovery partition. Thus allowing you to make changes on the /system partition. If you have no recovery on the recovery partition then how do you suppose that the update is going to install?
