Sense and GPe have supposedly the same audio driver so they should sound the same. AOSP has a different driver and there's definitely more distortion with bass heavy music. Be careful with higher speaker volumes on AOSP roms, they might damage the speakers.

I need the original LG "Google Play Services" file. Can someone send it to me?

I uninstalled the app using TitaniumBackup and then installed the version from the Play Store (an idea from another thread) but it's causing terrible partial wakelocks. Plus I overwrote my backup version accidently! I tried downloading the stock verizon ROM but can't find this file located anywhere in the .zip file..

According to TB, the package name is: com.google.android.gms.

It says the APK path is: /data/app/com.google.android.gms-2.apk

The package version I am running (which I think is the one causing the horrible partial wakelocks): 4.0.34 (924341-38) (4034538)

Can someone please point me to where I can extract this apk from? And/or send it to me?

:good: A million thanks to whoever can do this for me!!!!!!!!!! :good:

Hey guys!

Who own a z1 and note 3 (9005)

which is better?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
I'd personally say the Z1 anytime over the Note 3 however, if you add the LG G2 to the mix, its tougher.. I've had the Z1 for 2 months now and personally, I'm regreting not waiting for the G2..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guddu2011:
Both are good at their places

Note 3 = display quality, stylus, removable battery, 4k recording, microusb 3.0

Z1 = camera quality, water/dust proof, build quality, (DoomLord :p:D:laugh:)

these are my opinions :p
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ara.armagedon:
The only thing N3 has over the Z1 is a better display which by the way is very critiqued by the reviewers. I myself liked the N3s display better

but the Z1 is the better device in every important aspect, buying the N3 was the biggest mistake I made in the last 6 month so don't you do it...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davenewlove:
I had the note 3, build quality was crap, got red hot, purple tint to screen and the home button moved around, only thing I would say was the battery was removable but I've always had enough left over on the z1

[General Questions and Answers] MikeAlfa:
I am buying a smartphone for the first time, and I am getting it unlocked, since unlocked devices don't any warranty, I should check everything while I still have time to return it. so besides scratches and visible defects, what else should I check when I get a new phone? I also like to know how can I make sure that it is a new device, and not used?

I am going to get something like Note 2, if it makes any difference.
[General Questions and Answers] wsw-wyatt-earp:
I've bought a few used smart phones and it's gotten easier every time. Visible defects happen with any used device, be sure of the obvious, it turns on, the screen works, buttons work, battery charges, sound works, head phone jack works and that it can be activated with your provider.

This mod removes the red text that shows up in HBoot (while booting).

This hboot 2.21 from k2u update. But it was tested on k2ul and its working for it, too.

But if you flash it on k2ul, do it on your own risk!

When you use this, you need a new recovery, which you can find here.

Credits:

- to russellvone for building it for k2u

- to radarga for building it for k2ul

- to jmztaylor and Facepalm crew for getting S-Off and for his tips

- the community where it did a lot of research

Notice:

I tested this myself on a european non-lte phone and it works. But as always bricks can happen and i am not responsible if your phone is dead afterwards.

Don't do this, if you are not experienced enough! Flash it on your own risk!

This works only if you are S-OFF!

How to install:

1.) Download

- PL80IMG_hboot 221 red text removed_k2u.zip for device without LTE

MD5 Sum: cbf2c906afedf29b930c5c01b70d5d29

- PL80IMG_hboot 221 red text removed_k2ul.zip for device with LTE (flash it on your own risk, as it is from k2u)

MD5 Sum: C24CBD64613FDF16BBA59440A3260D3C

2.) Rename the file to PL80IMG.zip

3.) Copy it to your sdcard (external not internal)

4.) Reboot into bootloader and hit volume up when prompted

Have fun!
[HTC One SV] Omarod:

Did you teste it on k2_ul

I don't have a k2ul.

AND DON'T QUOTE THE WHOLE FIRST POST!
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
[MENTION=5507031]Omarod[/MENTION]

I do not recommend you using this mod. The reason for this is because you are inexperience with the HTC One SV device and taking away that red text can lead to you forgetting about the mod in the future which may or may not lead to future problems depending upon what you decide to do with your device personally. I recommend you leaving the red text there as a reminder to yourself until you become very familiar with your device inside and out.

Hboot number can vary from yours (not sure if it is exactly 2.00.4444), but its definitely 2.00.

I did this yesterday with k2u: back to 2.00, and again to 2.21.

just looked at the specifications for the xda atom,

wm 5.0

bluetooth 1, 2 compliant

including A2DP & AVRCP????

how did they do that????????? :?:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] CodeMonkey:
Correct me if I'm wrong (and I'm sure someone will), but isn't that hardware compatibility?

I think they still need to have the WM5 AKU2 updated ROM for the software side just like the rest of us.

FYI: I've been informed by iMate Tech Support that AKU2 for K-Jam is in

(as at 18th Jan 2006).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] aliendad:
i thought the delay was compatability with wm5

cause 2003 se users can download an upgrade for a2dp

i've done it for my wifes s110.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mmm_ok:
Yeah if you have an XDA 2i you can install the Broadcomm stack update to get A2DP.

This doesn't work on phones that use Microsoft stack though (this applies to the Wizard)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] CodeMonkey:
That's what I was trying to get across yes :lol:. The specs for the O2 Atom referred to in the OP indicate the hardware compatibility with Bluetooth A2DP, but the Microsoft stack pre AKU2 lacks software compatibility.

Sorry if I wasn't clear - my caffeine levels need adjustment.

Hey guys,

I am running Legacy Xperia latest build (Android 4.3.1) on my Sony LWW. I have installed BBM on my phone...

Today I decided to move back to Real ICS v 6 ROM, but to my surprise my BBM Pin gor changed even though I was using the same user id and password. To solve this I tried CM9 and with the same id I got a another new pin....so now I have 3 BBM PINs with same id & password.

Now I went back to Legacy Xperia (4.3.1) and installed BBM using a new email address(hotmail) and got a PIN...to test again I installed CM9 and used the new email (hotmail) and got a message that the "current android is associated with another username and if I would like to associate it with this username" (the message was referring to old email address used in CM9) and it gave me again a new PIN. (now I have 5 PINS :mad:)

Since I have taken backup of my android which I restored and I was back on my original PIN...

PROBLEM: is if in case I change my ROM to Kitkat in future (hopefully in couple of months) or I switch to another android phone (wont go for iphone) I will end up with a new pin which is a big problem and will have to add all contacts again...is there a solution to this? There is something which changes everytime a new ROM is installed, but don't know what it is)...........PLEASE HELP !!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karandpr:
Every time you flash a new ROM ,your device ID changes ...In fact every time you factory reset the phone ,you change the device ID

I wrote a post on how to maintain the device ID across ROMs and devices !

It requires a little knowledge of SQL though ...

Check it out

Backing up the original ID from the Backup/ROM

$su
#cd /data/data
#cd com.android.providers.settings
#cd databases
#sqlite3 settings.db
>select * from secure where name='android_id'
xyZ(this is the original android id)
>.exit
#reboot

Note down the xyZ

Restoring the ID on new ROM

$su
#cd /data/data
#cd com.android.providers.settings
#cd databases
#sqlite3 settings.db
>select * from secure where name='android_id'
ABC(this is the new android id)
>update secure set value='xyZ' where name='android_id'
>select * from secure where name='android_id'
xyZ(Mission accomplished if done correctly :yay:)

Didn't you restored ur android id after changing the ROM?

Below are the steps which I have understood, is this what you exactly did?

2. Flash new ROM

3. Boot into new ROM

4. Install Titanium backup pro as first step (without connecting internet ?)

5. Restore BBM

I used to be able to bring up a contact card by just saying my contact's name in Google Now but now it just does a Google search. Also, I could've sworn that I was able to navigate to a contact's address by saying "Navigate to [CONTACT NAME]" but that also just brings up a Google search.

Anyone know if that's something they changed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I believe you still might be able to do it. It's just that Google has changed the phrases you have to say. One example is before you had to say " ok Google " . Now you just say " Google" .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Right but I was talking about the actual voice command to bring up a contact's info or to navigate to a contact's address.

For example, I used to be able to say "Melissa" and her contact info would come up. Also, I could also say "Navigate to Melissa" and it would start navigating to her address. Now, I'm just getting a Google search for "Melissa".
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PVL_93_RU:
Hello, everyone.

I am in a search of a 10" tablet, and ever since I found out about Nexus 10 - I have been wanting to get one, and this time seems to be a good moment to get it, especially since its price has dropped since it's official launch a year ago, and I'm not even looking at the prices for used devices.

But what currently concerns me is a chance to gen in an awkward situation of getting a Nexus 10 and a few months later Google could announce the second generation of this tablet, just like with Nexus 7 when I bought it back in December only to find about the second generation which is FAR superior, and I just couldn't resist to not buy it (probably my best bought ever).

First I guess I should get it straight for every one who shall post in this thread - even despite N10 may be behind the rest of the tablet market compared to the latest and greatest 10" devices out there, I really dislike the Big Four (e.g. GNote 10.1 2014, iPad Air, Xperia Tablet Z and Transformer TF701) for various reasons, mainly being the OEM logo on the front and some design decisions I don't quite like.

So I guess you could consider this thread as "Convince me to get the N10", and I have several questions about this device:

1) How is the screen compared to N7 2013, if there are any owners of both devices?

2) How well does it perform? Do you face the lack of available RAM? Does it perform well on latest Android versions?

3) How good it this tablet for gaming? Is Mali GPU powerful enough to run Real Racing 3, Asphalt 8, Dead Trigger 2, Dungeon Hunter 4, Galaxy on Fire 2?

I was also thinking about an option of getting a used N10 + used iPad 2 if I am lucky with money

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
Well there were some rumors that LG will release a 2nd Gen nexus 10 but there's no official announcement yet. I'd say it's pretty close so you can wait a month until the holidays.

Either way, this is still a great tablet, kit kat brought a lot of under the hood improvements and the device is running very well, especially if you root it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jideay:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bipedial:
We're only talking maybe a month at most at this point so I'd just wait, you can go ahead and buy a refurbished one to save money though
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeaFractor:
Love my N10. I had thought about purchasing a Samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition, but changed my mind after using it for over a week (borrowed one from a friend). Nice performance boost, but no where near enough to make a large enough to warrant $500 when I have a decent tablet that does everything I need. S-Pen was really nice, but I stopped using it two days into the trial.

As to the questions.

1. The N10 has a super crisp 320ppi display. The resolution is higher than the N7 2013 tab, but the N7 has a higher price rating. One very important note: Kitkat 4.4 has made a significant change on the N10. Improved the color calibration. See the color calibration thread and check the posts post 4.4. I have an N10 and a N7 (original) and the color really improved on the N10. Someone who has the new N7 as well as the N10 will need to confirm, but I believe that they close to parity now.

2. Performance is great! I'm able to do whatever I want without lagging performance. The Mali God used also does a great job. Sure faster GPU's have since been released but the one selected was a top performer at release and still holds it's own. 4.4 also brought a boost in my benchmarks so the driver is better optimized than prior.

I don't know of any lack of memory. The 2GB does have a portion allocated to the GPU's, but I multitask a number of apps and have yet run into a problem related to a memory constraint. KitKat has also improved memory handling, so even less of an issue than previously.

3. Gaming? This tab really rocks. I have Asphalt 7 and Batman TDKR, Nova 3 and several others. Very smooth and perform well. Would like to see options to change screen resolution as the few times there is any reduced fps would be improved at a lower resolution.

iPad 2? Why? So that you can repurchase your apps on both platforms? Makes little sense to me.

A refurbished tab makes sense as you still get the warranty and save even more.

I disagree about one month at best. Media hype started this trend. If pattern follows suit, it's more likely in July 2014.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bipedial:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyroo54:
Those that are saying it is only a month away etc are PURELY speculating, or citing those dodgey link bait troll sites.

There has been NO credible evidence that a second gen N10 is even in existence.

It could be 1 week. It could be 6 months, OR they might NEVER make another 10 incher again!

I'll just happily plod along with my HP touchpad until it is released.. but I CANT STOP SEARCHING FOR NEWS ABOUT IT. I don't know what it is but I want a 2nd gen N10 so bad.. I think because I saw how good the 2012 N7 was, then the 2013 N7 blew it out of the water..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nigelhealy:
I got a 90 warranty refurbished delivered for $314 and I expect the new N10 when it comes out soon will be like $500+shipping+tax and so be heading to $550+, will it be twice as good as the $314 I paid? Doubt it.

Is there anything wrong about the current N10 which justifies delay? I'd say the biggest problem it has is probably battery life.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PVL_93_RU:
I guess you're talking about Ebay and the like now, right?

Why refurbushed and not just used? Is it any different from a regular device somehow?

Well I'm not using my first gen iPad as my main device, and I am not planning to do so with iPad 2 either - it's just for few exclusive games and Tap Tap Revenge stuff, so no need in buying anything again

Hmm, so if I get a N10 for christmas or my b-day (both of which are in december) - I'll still have 6 months until the tablet is announced and a couple more until it arrives to Russia, which would be pretty similar to my N7 -> N7 2013 scenario

True, about speculation and yeah, maybe it does not even exist in the first place, but why would Google ditch the 10" market? The Nexus line needs devices of every popular size there is, and Google delivered just that with N4, N7 and N10. I see no reason in leaving that particular category by not releasing a second gen N10

What about it? Is 9000mAh battery not enough for a whole day of moderate usage?
