Technically, I should but Tmo was (my guess) nice enough to allow those who know about the simple workaround to tether for free with JB. And when you pay for unlimited data, that's huge.

Now with KitKat, they've stopped this and want me to pay for the service... an extra $20 USD per month when I already have a bill out of budget of $65. I may have to either buy a new phone or restructure my entire internet-based budget/life because of this.

Anyone want to swap a never been rooted/unlocked JB N4 for my same condition KitKat? Uuuuuuugggghhhhh!
[Acer Iconia A500] pominnz:
I've been banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out.

I've successfully managed to root my A500, and I've installed CWM rev 1.7 for ICS Bootloader using Acer Recovery. When I reboot into recovery a messages displays "recover verified failed ..."

Now, as I understand it, it because I have a locked bootloader.

I've retrieved my CPUID and have a SBK.

But for the life of me, I can't find a valid download for the nvflash tool anywhere.

If anyone can help with unlocking the bootloader, or pointing me to the nvflash tool, that would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi All,

I would like to share one of I think most useful apps for me in my O4X:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mangelow.network

It is free, it is small, and very useful ^ ^

We can use it as a shortcut to the settings to select our preferred network (wcdma only, 2g only, etc)

I come across this cause there is no shortcut for it in the ROMs that I have use so far,well except for cm based ROM but even in the cm it is located only at active tiles and not so obvious :p

I'm not the creator of this app, just another happy user :)

Hope it can be useful :)

Hello,

I just bought this tablet on Newegg with their 50% off promo code and now I'm trying to decide if I'd want to keep it or gift it. 16gb is a little low for my taste as I am using 20gb for apps on my Nexus 7 at the moment, and I was curious if Apps2SD was on this tablet or not? That's the deciding factor for me, otherwise it looks about darn near perfect for my taste!
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustbepbs:
We've got root, so you can use apps to achieve this. There was someone who moved data from a game onto their SD card and had success, but nothing too conclusive.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbb77:
A better tool is Foldermount. You can find this in the Play store. While not automatic it does allow you to move apps to an SD card. Its pretty easy to use and has worked flawlessly on my Galaxy tab (still waiting for my G Pad to show). In any case give it a try. Free version allows setup of 3 folders. Any more requires purchase but its only $1.99 so small investment.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
My orig phone is running Liquid SMooth 2.10. I backed up wiht TWRP 2.6.3.0 to a 64GB ext sd card.

I got a new SGS III (insurance replacement for bad connector for charger). I rooted, installed TWRP 2.6.3.0. When I go to restore, it does NOT see the backup., I went into File Manager in TWRP, and it sees it.

It looks like TWRP in normal mode thinks the card is 32 B.

I decided to try to use File Manager in TWRP to copy the TWRP directory to the Internal SD. But during that process it rebooted to recovery, and never finished rebooting. Had to pull battery and reboot. It did go back into recovery.

What does anyone suggest I try?

[EDIT]

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
ive heard complaints about overheating nexuses but mine only get up to around 34degree C which is something like 90deg F. that's with a case on the phone as well. i read a little about the Qi standard and the phone is supposed to command charging current so external interference or losses in the reciever coil don't cause the charge current to be lower than the the transmitter is regulating. so maybe some batteries are subject to inductive heating, maybe some phones have a short in the reciever coil. but mine charges to 100% and never gets hot....
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bo0gietrain:
I was charging with a Nokia DT 9000. Threw it on at 30 percent. A few hours later I felt it with my hand and it was rather warm so I checked the temp and it was 44C so I pulled it off.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:

ravPower charger. Went from 80% to 100% in 40 minutes. So half as fast as the stock USB wall charger but still better than I thought it would do. Temp never exceeded 90 degrees.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
ok, seems the battery actually cooled while i was installing the app. i installed smart battery monitor. since i posted that, it went up to just under 96 degrees F.still no 108 degrees. but it has been on the charger for over 30 min strait and wasn't off the charger for long before that.

either way i have no problems with heat on my phone, it never feels much warmer than other phones ive had on usb chargers. the charger i'm using is a generic chinese charger. the box has no name brand. i also have a samsung charger but haven't checked the temperature with it. it doens't seem any different.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
30 mins is not long enough to test it. You need to let it go from about 50% or less to full. The battery temp will vary a lot depending on the full capacity. My software captures the highest temp achieved during the charge because as it reaches full it will already start cooling down. You need to look at a temp graph of the entire charge cycle.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1:
I just received my Nexus wireless charger and installed the free version of the app the OP linked, will charge overnight and see what the app says.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Sure it's enough. If you plan on charging from 50% or less to full then your battery will get hotter. Wireless or wired. It's just how charging works. More time=more heat. Your still well within the safe zone at 110 though.

http://www.mpoweruk.com/lithium_failures.htm
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
Then why not charge it for 10 seconds? I'm just trying to get in a full charge cycle to see the max temp. And actually at the end of the cycle your temp should go down due to the way lithium chargers scale down at the end of the cycle. So charging a 95% full battery wouldn't tell us much.

Your linked article says damage starts to occur at 120F. Well, that depends entirely on the particular battery formulation. It's not something you can generalize. Lithium batteries are definitely not all the same. What you can generalize is that more heat means more wear even when below the damage threshold for the specific battery.

Official Google/LG wireless charger, phone was on it all night last night and highest temp reported was 101.5F and today while on subway and or roaming my battery temp hit 102.6F. This is with the bumper case on and phone in my shirt pocket under a jacket. I am inclined to think that if the phone gets that warm when roaming or searching then the charge temp is just fine.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NCguy:
That charging temp doesn't seem too bad to me as compared to the data from the other chargers reported so far. Keep in mind that high battery temp as a result of charging is much worse than rise due to ambient or discharge.

I think the jury is out as to how much affect high charge temp will have on the Nexus 5 battery. No one seems to have any specs and I think experience is going to be the only way to really know. I think we can safely say the temp rises significantly more than with the usb charger.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
from what i've read about Qi i dont thnk the problems are with chargers unless they are just ignoring the charge controllers requests to lower current. the 5w charge power is supposed to be regulated by requests from the receiver (phone). so if the phone is heating it may be a phone defect like a short in the coil causing eddies and heating the coil. but i guess there can be factors with the charger...

ok second (this time proper) test with my generic chinese $18 charger.

30-37deg C, graphed out with Battery Info app. 27%-100% screen on the whole time with the phone in a case. thats almost a worst case scenario.

¿Is there any hardware difference between MT15i and MT15a? I mean, HW differences in frequency bands they can use.

I have browsed forums and the answer is not completely clear.

If the hardware is capable of accessing the same bands, I can flash a MT15a firmware in my device and get to use 3G in Mexico.

Am I rigth?

Thanks in advance,

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 17th_angel:
Te lo digo en español

Sí, la diferencia está en la antena y en que frecuencias puede esta misma agarrar. Las versiones "a" son para America y la "i" para el resto del mundo. Lo curioso es que se comparten frecuencias, pero lamentablemente para México, donde la frecuencia para el 3G es 850, sólo la puede agarrar la versión "a".

Igual lo puedes usar en 2G, aunque la velocidad para datos en internet estará bastante reducida.

Please use English.

The fact that your device is MT15i already means that your phone is an international variant and so the hardware is the same.

MT15a is the American variant of the phone and the software may come with a network lock. Other than that, both devices should be the same.
