i can't give any information my phone now its stuck on "firmware upgrade encoutered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again" all i know is the previous ROM is :

N900XXUBMI5
[Galaxy Note 3 General] alom5:
Goto samfirmware and download the MI5 room for the region the phone was Orchard in and flash the firmware. .... If that dissent work. .. Try the latest firmware for the region the phone was bought in MJ3 or even newer. ..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rdewa:
tnx for replay can you explain little bit more about MJ3 thing
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] if you are on the new bootloader already, that is MJ6 and later, then u should flash MJ7 from here - http://hotfile.com/dl/256069079/57ba279/ILO-N900XXUCMJ7-20131122134515.zip.html

BUT! If you still have old bootloader (THANK GOD!!!) then flash Rooted Stock firmware (NO NEW BOOTLOADER) from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2461580

Cheers! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rdewa:
how do i know if i have new or old bootloader ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
Reboot into download mode. If you see a line there that says 'Warranty Bit' then my friend, you are 'ducked' :p if not... Rejoice! :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rdewa:
yes i see warrant bit which means ?????
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
You have new bootloader, can't flash ROMs earlier than MJ6 and.... Ur warranty if you had any, is void! PERMANENTLY! Once you root ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] rdewa:
how about that ROM : N900UBUCMJ7 or N900XXUCMJ7 ??

sorry for bothering :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
This is exactly what I have 'INU-N900XXUCMJ7'. Indian one! :) I will flash it tomorrow just after i do a hard reset. It's 11pm here already...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BLuFeNiX:
I live in the Baltimore, MD area and I'm using Boost Mobile. I'm running JellyBAM android 4.2.2 currently, and plan to switch to CM11 if/when data is working.

Any suggestions for best modem for 3g speed/reception?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
Just try different ones... make sure they are ICS modem's though or you won't have data.

Remember... just because we all have the same device... doesn't mean that they run the same. So what works best for you might not work best for another..

Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BLuFeNiX:
I've heard this before, and it doesn't make much sense. Yes, location matters, but two of the same phone in the same location will likely produce negligible differences in reception when using the same modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
You sound upset... that wasn't my intention buddy. But I can tell you that I have had two epic's and my first one hated JB modem's and my current one gets great signal on JB modem's... and yes it's the same area and no new towers.

Maybe it was the difference in ICS and JB, I'm not sure.

But fl24 is the newest ICS modem and that's what I get the best signal with when I'm running any cm/aosp/aokp based roms... and I've tried quite a few different modems. That was in the Chicago area and Springfield area... both in Illinois.

Also... this current epic runs aokp roms great.. where my first one wouldn't... all chips are not created equal or maybe I just didn't now what I was doing then...

Hope somebody in youre area jumps in with some info for you. Good luck..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BLuFeNiX:
No, not upset. My apologies if I came off that way. I work with radios on embedded devices and my experience has been that they all perform within <1% difference of each other when running the same software. Now, it's quite possible to have bad chips, but then all sorts of things go wrong and no amount of software can adequately compensate.

My guess is that ICS vs JB did make the difference for you. And as for AOKP roms running better, maybe it was a different version of the ROM?

Thanks for the input about FL24. I'll try it out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HighxVoltage:
I have two Epic 4G Touchs in my possession

One of them I can't even get data working on Any AOSP ROMS even though I was using ICS and GB modems.

I now use it as a media device so it doesn't really matter.

My daily driver is the complete opposite.

I get the best reception using FC14 modem.

Unless someone lives in your area with the same phone, they can tell you which modem works best for said area.

I found another hack on the web.

This time it's to speed up the display menus. I tested it & it's

really better =D

To do this you have to modify reg keys. So install a reg browser and follow the instructions :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=0x1000(4096) instead of 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=0x1(1) (1 is "in theory" already the default value)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=0x1000(4096) instead of 0

Soft reset the ppc !

A cache is used for menus and apps, so the first time you execute a software or a menu, the speed is normal but the next ones are much faster !!!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] XorZone:
Got Soundbot SB1000 as gift. Never heard of one before.

It is wood looking alarm clock with temperature display, qi charger, nfc tag, bluetooth and speakers built in. Wood is either real wood or good fake.

I have light version which looks great.

Speakers quality is ok for a bed side, but not as good as they could be judging from its size. My left speaker quacking on highs, but anyway good enough for the low to mid volume, which I'll use it most.

Bluetooth connection works fine with my old Galaxy s2, had no chance to test it with N5, but I do not anticipate any problems here.

Time and temperature digits shine through the wood, super nice.

Qi charging works great, see attached screenshot for the charging history. I had 5 min poll time, therefore it always shows 100 once charged, but from -10 to +5ma charge and battery temperature is going down. Guess it is how trickle charge should work.

Small dot blinks in top-left corner when phone is charging.

I'm not a big fan of sensor buttons, but they work fine.

Had no chance to test NFC yet, will post an update.

Built in alarm is not useful for me, but looks like you cannot change it's sound.

Found it online:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00COR1RTK/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Conclusions:

1. Great accessory for my needs, but audiophiles will be disappointed.

2. Awesome for free :laugh: , but even for $49.99 price currently on Amazon I would buy it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] zoglog:
Looks kind of neat and price is decent but reviews are mixed.

Also make sure to ignore that ridiculous 199 retail price.

It's been $80 at most and $49 for awhile

might have to grab one for my wife. really cool find.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
Looks pretty interesting. Almost like the Android accessory dev kit in a wooden box.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Dani897:
i was wondering if something like this existed... i'll look for alternatives with better speakers but that's pretty cool. it only seems logical to pair Qi with bt and a speaker.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EmperorX:
Has anyone found alternatives to this? I love the concept but want something higher quality
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
Higher quality? Either diy or spend four times as much...

[Nexus 5 Accessories] unvaluablespace:
I have been curious about this alarm clock, so I have a few questions:

how loud do the speakers get? im a hard sleeper, so most generic alarm locks don't wake me up so easily. im not expecting SUPER LOUD, but a decent audible sound from across the room would be nice.

can the alarm clock on my phone, ring through the speakers via Bluetooth on the clock? It would be cool to have the clock across the room, and set my alarms for my phone, but to ring via the clocks speakers instead.

when paired via Bluetooth, and taking calls, does the clock speakers work?

does the clock provide its own separate alarm? as in can I set it like a regular alarm clock?

how bright does the clock get? can it be adjusted? some pics make the clock look like the time would be bright an annoying in the dark lol

thanks. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EmperorX:
I'm willing to spend more. That's why I asked, because I haven't found one myself. Thanks for your input.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] kidgenius:
Yeah, sorry about that response. It was a touch snarky

I edited to provide a link to something that may be out early next year, but pretty steep (+$300)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] gambrinusboy:
I have the same clock/charger and it seems to be pretty good all around.

I have used it with my N4, N5, and N7 and they all charge fine and do the NFC pairing okay.

The NFC is a little bit too touch in most cases and you have to be in just the right spot to get it to work, but it does work when you hit the sweet spot.

The qi charging area is a tad on the small side, but you learn the sweet spot pretty quick, plus there is a light on the front that shows the device is charging.

Last the bluetooth speakers sound much better than expected. In fact they are better than my Jambox for late night bedroom use.

Overall, if you are looking for a qi charger, get this, as it's a good value plus you get something that looks half decent on the nightstand, and is more usefull since it has the other functionalities.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] var1126:
I wish I could get this in Canada (Toronto) area...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] XorZone:
Ok, tested it for you.

1. Speakers are pretty loud for their size.

2. Alarm sounds both in speakers and in phone

3. Yes, surprisingly this thing have mic and you can talk through it, range to the mic is limited though.

4. Yes, clock has its own alarm, that can be set on the back of it.

5. Clock have 2 brightness settings, you can toggle it using snooze button. I always keep it on low.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] XorZone:
Update: charger died yesterday for mine, luckily my friend still can return it. Will try to replace with seller.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] EmperorX:
And this is why I am willing to pay more. Good luck on trying to get a replacement, keep us posted.

[HTC Jetstream] alphamike27:
Hey guys,

I got an HTC Jetstream as a gift recently and its lovely! I was successfully able to connect it to my WiFi and browse the internet and stuff but for some reason the Play Store is not available. It still has the old "Market" app which does not connect to the internet even if I put in my Google ID and password.

It comes back with an error stating my Internet connection is not reliable. However, I am able to download stuff and video HD quality YouTube videos. I am not able to log in to any Google apps as well.

What seems to be the problem?
[HTC Jetstream] finniest:
Does it let you log into a Google service (i.e. Gmail) via a browser on the Jestream? If not then you might want to troubleshoot using Google Dashboard on a different computer.

Otherwise, this might be a time when performing a factory reset fixes things. Is losing all of your data acceptable?

Hey guys just wanna ask, is it possible to be Rooted but running fully stock with OTA updates? I just want to have root on my One without customizing it.. Simply Rooted and full Stock with OTA updates.. Thanks in Advance!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dt2462:
if im not mistaken once your bootloader is unlocked you cant receive OTAs anymore. At that point what you can do is manually flash the new OTA.

I'm not sure if its that simple though, I've never done it like that, just custom roms.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rouvenkutter:
As long as you have stock everything, besides the root of course, you can sideload ota updates through adb. i sideloaded kitkat when it came out.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipfreelytech:
By stock I assume you are running a Sense One and not a legit GPE?

When you unlock the bootloader on Sense it wipes a few apk files (no clue why, seems idiotic) and thus OTA will be broken as the expected APK will not be present.

So you have to unlock bootloader. install recovery, flash super SU. then restore missing apk files and then flash back stock recovery. A bit of work but it can be done. here's a thread about it.

It is with great pleasure that I share this with you today.

As I had mentioned the first time around this community has provided me with endless knowledge and support over the years and this is my contribution to the wealth of information found here.

Soon after creating the Retro gamer adjustable mobile stand I acquired a tablet. Naturally I wanted to create an adjustable tablet cradle but I didn't have the parts to scale the design to accommodate for the size and weight of the tablet. Forward few years I got my hands of the 42008 Service truck. Using parts from this set (along with two pieces not in the set) I have created the motorised LEGO adjustable tablet cradle.

Hello Everyone

I have a newb question so please dont judge :D

I have an unlocked and rooted T889V which i got from Wind Mobile. I have decided to gift it to my wife

as she is fed up with her little S3 mini and the crappy camera. She is currently with Rogers however she

does not have data or plan on using the internet. She will be sticking to Wifi as she either uses it home or at work.

Will this phone work with Rogers to make calls and send text messages or do i need to flash a different modem?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Byangmang:
Yes, but the phone will need to be unlocked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Just unlock it. Insert Rogers SIM. Done.

No need to bother with enabling LTE since she won't be using data on it.

Although I am *very* curious to know if the (upcoming official) 4.3 update activates it since Vidéotron should be flipping the switch on their own LTE deploy soon-ish.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vseslija:
Yup its already unlocked she just needs to buy a micro sim card cause hers is the regular big one. Thanks for the help guys.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Mobile:
ok so in the past i have had HTC devices and Samsung devices.. and when there is a OTA sent out we always had to either unroot and flash back to complete stock to take the OTA.. Or wait for a dev to make a firwmware/radio zip with the junk takin out... so then i would just have to flash that and then flash a rom thats on the new OTA and i would be good.. So my question is how does this work on nexus phones? say google sends us an OTA.. how would i go about updating my phone to the new base? would i wait for a dev to make a zip with the new firmware/radio?? or does just flashing a rom thats on the new base work also cause i really dont want to unroot to take an OTA.. if i have i i guess i will... so how do us rooted folks update when a new OTA comes along :confused:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCreazy:
I would just wait for a rooted rom of the update and flash that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You need a stock recovery and nothing more than root only. Any modifications to the rom what so ever, do NOT OTA.

There's an OTA helpdesk thread here somewhere that can help you

thats what im asking.. on other phone u would have to flash a fiwmware/radio zip that a dev would make.. then flash the new ota rom... so your saying that when a OTA comes all i have to do is flash a rom that the OTA is based from?? i dont have to flash a new firmware or radio??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Mobile:
so what happens when google send out a new OTA... how would i go about updting to it?? do i have to wait for a dev to make a firmwre/radio zip for rooted people??? or is it deffernt with nexus phones??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
You should never have to flash a radio if you don't want.

It gets confusing when you use the word firmware though. Most android handset manufacturers will refer to a rom as firmware. Although to me, this is technically incorrect - im not going to argue with them.

However, some US carriers for some phones deliver their updates in "firmware" and / or "apps". This confuses people even more so I prefer not to use "firmware" as a term.

An OTA update could include any of the following

- bootloader

- recovery

- radio

- kernel

- apps

- part of the rom

Every ota is added to an updated full rom though so if rooted, best sticking with those

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
thats not entirely true.

you can still have a custom recovery, but when the OTA asks you to reboot to install, it only takes you to the recovery screen and you need to find the file and flash it manually.

it will install fine however using a custom recovery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Mobile:
i still dont understand.. what i have to do when a OTA comes.. how do i update my nexus to the new OTA?? so i just flash a rom thats on the OTA thats it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepius:
it depends on how much modding you have done to your phone.

1) just root and still stock recovery - nothing it will download and install properly

2) just root AND custom recovery - it will download correctly, but when the phone reboots to install, you will need to manually find the OTA file and install it

3) any system modifications - the ota will not install and you will need to go back to the stock rom

4) custom rom installed - you need to either a) wait for the rom to be updated to the OTA version or b) return to stock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes this I know but an ota also can include an updated recovery. Im trying mainly to convey ota +root not a good idea if you don't know what you're doing

thanks.. so this is waaayyy dif then any phone i ever had b4... i had the gs4 and the htc one... dont kno if u ever had any of them phone but when an OTA was sent out... i was always rooted with custom recovery/rom... so what we would have to do is... wait for a dev to make a zip for rooted folks.. they would take out the stock recovery and anything else that would change the hboot..... so i would just flash that zip with would have new firmware/radio/prl ect.. then i would flash a rom that based on the new OTA...im rooted custom rom.. custom recovery.. if and when a OTA comes... all i have to do to udate to the new ota is wait for the rom dev to make the rom on the new ota and im good.. that seems so easy!! it was always a project on other phones.. u could never just flash the new ota rom thats it.. u would have to flash a zip with firwmware/radio/prl ect.. so when google send a OTA out with a new radio.. i dont need to uodate my phone to that radio? it will be in the rom thats on the new ota?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No that's exactly the same. If you have a CUSTOM rom, wait for dev to update his rom and flash it.

If you have a stock rooted but unmodified rom, you can have ota (but wouldn't recommend it). This is same as S4, S3 etc...

Hmmm much confusion in this thread. I come from Samsung and HTC. What I have said is universal. I cannot understand what you have read to the contrary so lets just forget it now - but in regards to flashing custom roms, flashing radios and receiving OTA updates - the principles of this phone are the same as every other android phone.

Probably have a read of the sticky thread at the top of the q&a. Lots of root information to help understand things

Just got the OTA update message for KitKat but haven't yet installed it (currently on 4.3). I much prefer Google Maps 6.x to 7.x (for My Maps, proper offline caching. etc).

Thanks for the reply. I'm not allowed to post links here, but a thread on Google's product forums (title: "Warning: KitKat comes with the crippled 7.x Maps app (no going back?)") claims "Installing KitKat installs the crippled 7.x version of Maps...The trick of just not "upgrading" to any of the 7.x versions or uninstalling a 7.x version after it's been installed does not work." - so presumably the poster is mistaken?

Are any of the other Google apps (e.g. Gmail) included in the OS upgrade, or are all left untouched?
