That's a whopping 8.6% discount. But it's still a savings of $30.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Duffmantp:
I went and got it for $349. Pist, but I got the $25 play credit. Im s till hopping for a price drop to see off they would honor it, from what the best buy guy said a few posts back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] 95Z28:
I wasn't going to update my 7(especially after just getting a nexus 5). But then I saw googles free shipping offer +$25 store credit and seriously started considering it since my old nexus 7 felt so slow compared to my new phone.

Then I saw 32GB on sale at Nebraska Furniture Mart on black Friday for $225. At that point I decided with all the OT I've been putting in at work I deserved it.

While it doesn't compare to my phone in fluidity, speed and smoothness, it's definitely a nice upgrade from the old 7.

I've noticed on a few occasions that my home button nolonger takes me back to the launcher. I can hold it down to bring up recent apps, but thats it.

When this happens, the only thing that seems to fix it is a reboot.

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm running Go launcher ex. I can't confirm if that could be the issue or if it's happening on all note 3's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] noobtoob:
I've been running multiple ROMS and Launchers with the exception of Go , and not a single issue,

Hey I tried installing a 4.4 rom, got a boot loop recovery keeps crashing and I can get into fastboot now.

The computer is recognizing the phone and I can use fastboot to flash a new recovery but CWM and TWRP recoveries continue to crash on reboot... What can I do?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
S-On or s-off ?

either way your best bet is an RUU. the GPE RUU if your s-off or the proper carrier/region RUU if your s-on.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopardroid:
Thank you for the reply, I believe it is s-On the top of the bootloader screen shows tampered & unlocked..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
if it doesn't say s-off and you don't remember doing S-off then you're s-on.

What is your CID? you'll need to track down an RUU that matches. Also since your s-on you can only go up in versions, not down so you have to match the mainver.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopardroid:
Yeah it says S-On, how would I find my CID and mainver from fastboot?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopardroid:
Alright I found my CID: TELUS001 and main version: 1.29.661.5..

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopardroid:
I cant find any RUU's that match that Main version # but I found a nandroid with the matching CID and Mainver.. is there anything I can do with that?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopardroid:
Ok so I used fastboot to flash a bunch of different recoveries the only recoveries that will work are the CWM Sprint and TWRP sprint recoveries.. I can get into the recovery without it crashing but I am stuck there... I have tried to adb push a rom to the phone, that worked then the install failed.. any suggestions?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InflatedTitan:
What hboot do you have

1. Download a fresh copy of the latest twrp 2.6.3.3 from here ------> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7

2. Throw that recovery image into your fastboot folder and rename it twrp

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot reboot-bootloader

Sometimes that erase cache command does the trick
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopardroid:
Thank you very much I will give that a shot in just a moment. I checked my Hboot and it is 1.44. This is killing me I really appreciate the help.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopardroid:
That recovery worked without crashing. ADB is recognizing the device.. im going to sideloading a rom now, is there something else worth trying if that doesnt work?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InflatedTitan:
Not really bro. Try to sideload any ROM, I'd shoot for a GE ROM since its a little smaller. As soon as you can get into an OS I hope you try to s-off lol. If you were s-off your problem would be fixed
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopardroid:
Well sideload got to 100% then the phone shut off and when I turned it back on it just looped back into recovery again... going to try again :/ hope it works
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopardroid:
Thank you SO much man its finally working and I can go to bed honestly I really appreciate the time you took to help!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] AznInertia:
From what I understand so far, there's no real NFC payment solution for HTC One Verizon

- Google Wallet needs a secure element which HTC One on Verizon does not have

- ISIS doesn't install on my phone, says not compatible

I saw this article on Android Police, does it mean when Android 4.4 Kit Kat comes out (Jan-Feb) we will be able to use Google Wallet because there's an emulation workaround for the secure element?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...uire-secure-element-use-emulation-workaround/

I followed that and was able to successfully make an NFC payment with Google Wallet on a 4.3 ROM (Viper ROM and VanirAOSP). There was a vending machine where it did not work, but I suspect it was because it was ISIS exclusive.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

Yes it works.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] LoveNFC:
Because the HTC One is still incompatible with Google Wallet, except for some specific variants, and some random outliers.It'd be interesting to see if you're one of those outliers, so I'd like to see proof of a recent payment made via Google Wallet on the HTC One.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Chilidog:
Nah its the modded Google Wallet that makes it so anyone can use it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
There are lots of phones that are technically incompatible with Google wallet...like ALL Verizon phones. But that's what xda is for, people have modded it to be able to work. Modded Google Wallet works on HTC One, as well as other vzw phones.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
I posted a screenshot of a receipt for an NFC purchase I made with my Verizon HTC One with Google Wallet a few posts back. It CAN be done.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Mike02z:
I have used Tap to Pay on 4.2.2, 4.3 and now 4.4 with no issues using the modified APK. My phone did come with the NFC enabled SIM. My understanding is some don't.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] LoveNFC:
You can't mod out a hardware requirement.

This is what's happening: Sprint versions of the HTC One have a hardware secure element. It would seem that Verizon variants also have a hardware secure element. This makes sense since they're both CDMA variants, so it's perhaps a cost-saving exercise via reduced production lines. That's why all the reported cases of modded versions of Google Wallet have come from Verizon subscribers.

However, international variants of the HTC One do NOT have a hardware secure element. They can't currently make payments with Google Wallet, no matter how hard 'devs' try.

The introduction of 4.4 brought support for payments without a secure element via HCE, but this is currently only possible with Broadcom-based devices. The HTC One is NXP-based.

As far as I'm aware, until Google updates the Android 4.4 code base to support HCE in NXP devices, GSM variants of the HTC One will be unable to make NFC payments via Google Wallet. They'll be able to install the application, and it'll claim that Tap and Pay will work, but payment terminals will simply not recognise the phone.

If somebody with a GSM variant of the HTC One can post proof that they've successfully made a payment with 4.4, then that would mean that HTC/NXP/Other manufacturers have collaborated with Google over the past few weeks to get extended HCE compatibility into Android or their builds.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
Well, this is the forum for the Verizon HTC One. If you're asking about any other version other than the Verizon version, you're in the wrong forum.

Google wallet works for Verizon HTC One. That's all I can tell you. I don't know about other carrier versions, as, again, this is the Verizon HTC One forum.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dalelane:
those of you who've had a chance to play with TomTom Navigator on their Universal (very cool, by the way!) will know that it needs an Activation Code

this code is provided by the TomTom website - generated through some combination of a product code that is provided with your purchase of TomTom, and a device code that uniquely identifies your PDA

this (and the fact that the TomTom website only give you one activation code) means that you cant give your tomtom software and activation code to someone else for a different phone (with a different device code)

unfortunately, when i switch SD cards in my PDA, it sometimes needs me to re-enter my Activation Code. that would be fine, except it comes up with a different device code - which in turn needs a different Activation Code

took a lot of persuading to get TomTom to give me multiple activation codes - they were very suspicious! - but i've got them now, so all is well.

has anyone else had this, or is my Exec being a bit special? :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] apple_power:
Hi there,

right I have got 3 legit copies of tomtom and ithey were a pain in the ass to get working on my execs and kjam amd other wm5 devices.

I also have a duff copy that worked first time stright away has no crashes or issues. So I will hazzard you a guess which I use. I paid for the product three times and tomtom support was slow, lacking and I had to keep faxing copies of invoices to them. I get a new pda/phone every month. Its a life choice I have.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dalelane:
in it's defence, my experience has been fine - once i enter the activation code. the tricky bit is just digging out the correct activation code from the ones i have to choose from! :)

yeah - i had to send them all sorts of stuff to convince them that i was legit. they are a little paranoid about piracy, arent they? :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] apple_power:
Yes indeed they are I have 3 for personal use and a further 20 copies for my employees. I wish to god they would make it easier. Oh well such is life. Glad that yours works though.

Just as a warning the device is pretty low on my priorities list - it's kind of in automode. Of course, submissions to Omni gerrit are always welcome!

And if any I9100ers drop by and wonder why there is no I9100 yet - I don't own one, and I'm not sure what happened to xplodwild's... I think his might be dead.

I'm running the 1127 nightly with PA-Gapps (Modular Full).

When you're playing music on either the built-in player or Google Music, you get a ~1sec audio error (not a skip, more like a digital stutter) when the screen goes off and when you unlock.

I also switched to ART to see if it made any difference in the above. It didn't.

Not huge, just reporting.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
[MENTION=369266]phillytemptation[/MENTION]; you'll have to flash the whole stock firmware package, then framaroot, mobile odin ajk, cm or carbon, omni, restore

-You can find the UCMD8 firmware package in creepy's download repository

-It may be possible to extract the bootloader from that file and flash it separately, but I haven't tried that method. maybe [MENTION=2916435]creepyncrawly[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4608191]SteveMurphy[/MENTION] know more about a shortcut?

otherwise, it's the regular tedious process:

-twrp backup data and system

-Odin to UCMD8

-framaroot

-mobile odin to AJK 4.9

-flash latest cm or carbon (this step is only to get cwm 6.0.4.4+, no need to boot the rom, just reboot to recovery from within ajk-recovery)

-flash cook wipe

-flash omni (reboot to twrp from 6.0.4.4+ cwm)

-twrp restore data and system

Shorter process (verified working, skips all of the cwm flash steps):

-twrp backup data and system

-twrp factory reset

-Odin to UCMD8

-framaroot

----!!! gather all necessary flash files before performing next step.----

-mobile-odin flash Omni's boot.img

-reboot to recovery

-flash cook wipe

-flash omni

-twrp restore data and system

you should be right where you left off, but with the latest bootloader.

Your mileage will vary. you should try it for yourself.

Battery life has everything to do with your user preferences, and very little to do with the ROM. Using the google now apps and the google experience launcher WILL notably decrease your battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
your baseband says UCMD8, but your initial boot splash reads galaxy sII, which tells me that you're using the latest radio (ucmd8) but are on the earlier bootloader. You probably got the UCMD8 radio from flashing cooked.

Just for reference I have older bootloaders (that say Galaxy s ii) and open delta worked fine for me. I did have some issues getting it to download at first, but then once it downloaded it flashed fine. I was on 1208 and used open Delta to flash 1209. It seemed to download the whole ROM rather than just changes (~200 something MB file once I looked)

Edit:

For reference I've never had issues flashing anything. I've mostly stuck with cm ROMs, my device was only on the stock ROM for about an hour before I put cm on it (and other than omni I've stayed on cm, but I've used other kernels at times). Also my flash counter is still at 0 somehow and I've never used anything to reset it. I've had my i777 for about 2 years now (got it in December 2011) and to my knowledge never updated the bootloaders (at least not that I remember).
