Thanks for your instant replies. I tried all the above methods except for the last one i.e. usb jig method. None of them worked. I think my phone has no sign of life. I will have to try with USB Jig and then lastly jtag repair.

Hi,

A frind has a Nokia 6630 that he uses to retrive email.

He can set it so that Monday to thursday it will check for new mail every hour, starting at 8pm, then finishing at 5pm. On friday it checks every 15 mins from 8 till 12. Then It will check a few times over the weekend.

I have my exec set to retieve every hour, but its a pain to keep turning retrieval off at night (or be woken at 3 am by spam!!!) and reativate it in the morning.

Are there any email retieval applications out there for the Exec (and Mini s for my brother)?

Thanks, Paul.

im looking for the route to go from here

ive successfully rooted and rom'd phones a few times no issues there but there are so many things going on im lost

i have a few issues i hope i can get help with and a few questions that will come out of them issues

my phone gets pretty sluggish after time the phone wont open and using it makes it get hot pretty quick

i dont play any games on it or install many odd apps

mainly i use:

phone

camera

video camera

facebook

sms

and email i have 5 accounts i use 3 gmail a yahoo and an exchange from work

should i use a different kernel?

is the newest android the best thing i should use on it ?

i see that the non working features of some of the roms is things i need to use like the camera or hidef recording.

also i see different things on different forums i know its a strange question because im on here but is there a forum best suited for the razr maxx ive used xda for my lg my galaxy tab10.1 and now the maxx just curious

also is there a way to make it send the pictures to the external sd card using it fills the internal one up and it sometimes locks up completely as it gets close to full, then i have to connect it usb and move the pictures to my PC

ive included pics of my system
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
Looks like you're running it on slim bean with 4.3.

If you want features like HD recording, then I suggest try some stock 4.1 based ROMs.

For storing images, you can find the option in settings. If you don't find it there, then you can swap your sdcards.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] saintanthony:
One big question to ask is do you use MMS (picture messaging)?

I say that because a lot of ROMS do not have it fully functioning, so that is something to keep an eye on. I am currently using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2535920&page=45 on mine, and it is working pretty well, but some people are experiencing issues with MMS and bluetooth (I am not facing those issues. Also, take some time to look at kernel upgrades, like JBX http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2223517, these can greatly alter the performance of your phone for the better and add things back in like 720p video recording.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rexxxlo:
thanks for the answers

i do use mms from time to time i have noticed that a rom i used in the past was one of the ones that didnt mms after a few fights with people that i didnt ignore them lol

last night i tried flashing eclipse 1.5 but it wouldn't boot i think i was using the wrong version maybe? so today i reflashed slim spyder 4.3

why is it that the android 4.1 stock roms will work better than the highly modified custom roms ? isnt the idea of developing new features to make the best of the OS and hardware and have all the features without the BLOAT ? ( i made it look fat for effect hahah)

how do i swap the sd cards ? maybe a link, and will it help? im not sure because it saves them to the internal storage not the internal sd card i think and the phone gets all filled up nd then goes completely haywire

im really unsure on what of those 2 links would be the best way to go

i also not sure how to know if im on a stock -based rom
[Motorola Droid RAZR] saintanthony:
It looks like you are on SlimBean, so not a stock rom.

I don't know that I would go as far as saying that stock roms work better than highly customized roms, but there are a lot of "unofficial" or "alpha" build roms that just aren't finished. Those will inherently have issues.

Can you post the links to the threads that you got the rom from? There are a couple different options for your phone, depending on your carrier. It looks like you are on CDMA, so you need to make sure you are downloading those builds, not UMTS builds.

As far as the links go, use the first link to get the new rom, and load it through safestrap. If you need a tutorial on that, you can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2427125

When you boot into safestrap, you will create a partition and install the rom, then reboot and enjoy!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
The answer would be a very long story but I'll cut it short as much as I can.

Everything you said is absolutely right. But some of the reasons the custom ROMs doesn't work are locked contents by the manufacturer.

Locked bootloaders, locked libraries and many more. We're lucky that some devs actually devoted a lot of hard work to even make custom ROMs work on this device.

So our phone has a lot of locked stuff which is necessary for things like HDMI and HD recording to work. The custom kernel cannot access it.

So these features work with stock Moto kernel only which was based on 4.1

To swap sdcards, you need to edit the build.prop. I shall post the steps as soon as I have access to my laptop.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] rexxxlo:
that's awesome

i truly respect the people devoting time to developing it does make computers mainly my phone more of a personal thing

id love to try the swap sd card thing thank you

ill be waiting
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
To swap sdcards. You will need a file explorer with root (E.S. Explorer or Root Explorer).

Go to system and open build.prop for editing.

Search for the line

#persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1

Change it to

persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1

(remove the #)

Save the build.prop

Reboot

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheArtiszan:
Hello all,

I was just wondering if anyone knew since I don't have access to one of these devices.

Does a google play edition of this phone have Knox in it too?

Or in the bootloader at least for the newer 4.3 or 4.4 versions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] badboytw:
mostly no bc its just like all Nexus

Knox is a Samsung Security Feature
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
That may not be the absolute case here. For the Google Edition S4 it's still a TouchWiz framework ROM.

It's basically TouchWiz with an AOSP theme on it. They had to do it that way to get all the additioanl features to work right like the "it watching when you look away and stops the video" stuff.

It is NOT exactly like a true Nexus.

So it may very well have all the Knox BS on the bootloader. Don't assume.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] badboytw:
but dont you think we would have some info that it came with Knox?

What about the people that have the GES4, something about it would be on XDA saying bc when updating due to Knox, UPGRADE on your own risk and since its on 4.4 dont you think we would've saw it on 4.3?, GE is more Open Sourced imo so if they did that, we wouldnt been able to unlock so easliy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Yeah, there probabyl would be info on it on XDA. I'll go so far as to guarentee it's here somewhere.

But don't just assume that it's not included because it IS a TouchWiz ROM made by Samsung, not Google Nexus.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Newerabs:
I bought a Kindle Fire HDx on Black Friday (got a good deal).

So far I really like it, but not having my Google apps is almost a deal breaker (YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Play Books, Music, Chrome, etc).

I read a few posts about how you can sideload google apps.

I did that and I was able to get YouTube, Chrome and Gmail on my Kindle Fire HDx.

But it's really buggy, Youtube won't let me sign in and I keep getting an error randomlly that the Google Play services has stopped responding.

The biggest thing is that the apps I sideloaded look super low res in the carousel next the HD icons. Is there a way to fix that?

I'm really having misgivings about this device. I really love the specs and the screen is gorgeous but not having access to all my Google stuff is tough.

I noticed there is root for 8.9. Will 7 get root access soon? Will that help with some of the issues I'm having?

Any help/advice is welcome!

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] shimp208:
Google Apps are a work in progress and as you mentioned there are bugs to work out. I would recommend taking a look at this thread for the latest joint progress on them.

Let me know if you still have any questions I'll be happy to help you out.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Newerabs:
Thanks a lot. This is very helpful. I'm wondering do you know of there 's a way to make the icons in the carousel HD? Right now the google apps look super low res?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] shimp208:
I unfortunately don't how to make the icons HD, I have that same problem it's because Amazon expects people to just use their ecosystem apps which all have HD icons, there may be a way to modify the Amazon home launcher code to do so but that would be a lot of work for relatively little gain but might be fun to attempt.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] altrenda:
Right now I think that if Google apps are real important to you, you would be better off with a Nexus 7. You trade the better hardware for seamless Googleness.

You have to hope that the Play Store is coming soon, but if the Amazon world isn't enough, then I would make the change to the Nexus. For me, the limited google apps with Fire OS is not a problem.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zahir32:
Vire Launcher

You could install Vire Launcher, which is one the few alternative home screens that work well on the HDX. It eliminates the carousel and uses higher res icons similar to those on a regular Android home screen. It also has its own wallpapers which work on the HDX, unlike other launchers.

It's been said a few times that SELinux settings have an effect on mobile connection on some phones, not all, but some. Mine being one of them, that theory has also been criticized, ironically by those who's phones do not suffer from the issue. Anyways, if your trying a 4.4 ROM and have no APNs, no baseband, IMEI etc grab SELinux mode changer from the market, set to Permissive and be on your way. Why or what causes it is beyond me but changing to Permissive solves it. It takes a few seconds after boot for supersu permissions, a few seconds then for your APNs to be populated and baseband, after that you will get mobile connection working.

Hope this helps someone else fighting the same issues. Here's a video showing before and after, a little wait at the APN screen the second time for them to be populated. Also, sorry for the quality, just easier to record the screen directly compared to holding a camera.
