[Moto X Q&A] edthesped:
maybe the answer to your question can be answered with the answer to another question. How much disposable income do you really have? If the price of the Moto x is negligible to you then by all means update. I updated by necessity and am extremely happy with the phone but I would't pay ~$400.00 for the, dare I say, minor improvements or benefits gained by moving to the x as I feel the s3 is in pretty much the same league as the x (I honestly don't see a big difference in speed or smoothness but will admit the x is faster, again not $400 faster). OTOH, if I could do it for $100.00 I'd be all over it and would update phones more often but I can't in my cheap mind justify the high cost for what I consider to be minor improvements covered with major hype. Again, I'm a pretty frugal person and therefore expect major improvements when I spend $400 on something. That is my honest opinion.
[Moto X Q&A] larry62:
I've gone from a SGS3 to a DE Moto X. Ok, the screen is a bit smaller, but gladly give up that small amount of screen real estate for the much better ergonomics. The Moto X feels great! With full screen mode apps it's basically the same. The SGS3 feels too big and awkward in my hand now, and can't believe the rumors of a SGS5 going to 5.25". HATED Touchwiz and replaced with Nova anyways and then moved to CM as soon as my warranty had expired. The Samsung seems to be full of half baked apps with the primary emphasis on chasing Apple's tail. It's nice having warranty active root access on the Moto X, but don't feel like it's necessary to move from the stock ROM. The several add-on's that Motorola has added to the Moto X are generally useful and don't get in the way. With the GSM DE you also don't get the carrier bloat. Always thought bloatware like VZ Navigator were really social science intelligence test experiments.

Battery life wise is night and day. I was getting at most 1.5 to 2.5 hours of screen on time with the SGS3 while getting 4 to 5 with my X. I feel some of that is how the CDMA based SGS3 absolutely eats battery when cellular signal is weak, whereas the GSM X doesn't seem to act in the same way. Don't know if this was a CDMA vs. GSM issue or a difference in radio implementation between Samsung and Motorola. A year ago I swore I'd never buy a phone without a micoSD card slot. Frankly, my experience with the SGS3 microSD was mixed, and often times felt like it was either a poor implementation or the OS really treats it like a second class citizen (beyond the issues of moving widgets to SD). Buying 32GB up front is making my desire for an embedded microSD a moot point (and when needed just use one of those little Meenova OTG adapters). Also prefer the virtual screen buttons on the Moto X vs. the physical home button the the SGS3. The SGS3 has a slightly better camera, but find the Moto X a serviceable camera with a simple UI. I don't have very high expectations for any smartphone camera, and rely on it solely for quick documentation type shots rather than anything important. When the shot is important, I have a host of much higher quality photo equipment starting with the very compact Sony RX100 which includes a sensor ~17x larger than seen in smartphones. Overall, the Moto X has been the best phone I've ever owned. Just wish they'd allow Motomaker DE phones.
[Moto X Q&A] alpha-niner64:
The only thing I really miss from the SGS3 is the higher volume levels. It is definitely noticeable when moving between the Moto X that the volume levels just aren't up there. The lower end of the audio frequency is a bit lower as well: GSMArena confirms it as much. The frequency difference between the SGS3 and Moto X is mostly up to preference as some people prefer the flat-sounding SGS3 or the de-emphasized lower/bass of the Moto X depending on music-taste. It's really hard to ignore the lower volume levels though: it's not 'bad', but I'm not yet used to it. I hope Faux123 can implement his FauxSound function into his Moto X kernel, which solves the volume level problem by providing additional 'volume' (or headphone amp).

[General Questions and Answers] bbaskin:
Yesterday at around 4:15PM I plugged my Samsung Galaxy S 3 phone to charge. When I looked a few minutes later, the screen was showing the android reinstallation screen. My phone performed a full factory reset by itself, it even formatted the external SD card.

The crazy bit is that around the same time yesterday my brother (who has an iPhone 5) also happened to plug his phone in and the exact same thing happened to his phone. It did a factory reset by itself and when it finished, itunes did not recognise the phone.

Even crazier, the exact same thing happened to a 3rd guys iPhone yesterday (although his was not plugged in at the time).

When it happened to me, I originally thought it was just bad luck or something I had done (as I was close to running out of free space on my phone at the time). But as soon as I heard about my brother's phone and a work colleague, at roughly the same time as mine, something did not sound right.

None of the phones have been rooted/jailbroken

Does anyone know what this could be?

Could it be a virus that all 3 of us picked up? (2 on ios, 1 on android)

Could it be some hack?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpmartinson:
I am continually getting errors -173 everytime I submit my unlock code through HTC. ANyone have similar problems?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rzgomba:
I am also having this problem..

Now it is saying unlock limit passed Error : 300
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpmartinson:
that's actually good news

I think this sort of thing happened before and the problem was on the website. So, we can safely assume that HTC will correct this in a day or two.
[Sony Xperia L] sherry_94:
U Gus have Xperia L in hand..... Cam you compare screen size to say galaxy s2..... S2 has a wider screen i guess and XL has a narrow screen.

Even the XM 4" screen seems smaller than a typical 4"
[Sony Xperia L] Hnk1:
I have both devices and I can tell you the screen size of S2 looks a lot bigger. I am not sure if it's the shape or anything but it looks big. However, I can assure you that both screen size are of 4.3 inch and both are equal. Measurement of screen is always taken diagonally and thus our mind plays tricks on us!

I guess it more has to do more with bezel size than actual screen size

Thanks a lot

4:3 aspect ratio is different thing , very few phones have that aspect ratio ! 4:3 is no longer a standard now , HDTV broadcasting and all are in 16:9 aspect ratio !

[General Topics] carlo_gx:
Mates, sorry for another question on this topic, I'm a very newbie and I couldn't orieent in this mess...

I Have an I-mate (still not able to understand whether it's an Andes or Alpine... BTW, what's the difference?)

I tried to connect via bluetooth both to the car handset and to a GPS receiver, but other than bonding the device, no connection was started.

I realize I have to upgrade something, and being extremely prudent in doing so.

I read in some place I need to upgrade to WM5, some other post referring to update Bluetooth but referring to many different stacks.

- Rom Version 1.66.00WWE

- ROM date 02/20/04

- Radio Version 1.1.10

- Protocol Version 1337.18

- ExtROM version 1.66.131

- Microsoft PowerPC V 4.20.0 (build 13252)

- Processor Intel PXA 263

Any help and pointer to files and instruction how to upgrade would be extremely appreciated

Has anyone had anyluck using a controller on this phone if so on what ROM?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HdMsTrTeCh:
Game controller? I use a MOGA pro on both stock and AOSP
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
And it works?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HdMsTrTeCh:
Yes with the moga games it works very well.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nwsteeze:
I also use the Moga Pro and use it to play Pokemon with an emulator and it works flawlessly.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hazedabeast:
What about modern combat 4
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nwsteeze:
If Modern Combat 4 supports bluetooth controllers then it should work.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmlape:
Ready to root my Note 2 currently on 4.1.2 MC2. Is twrp 2.3.1 and supersu 0.96 still good to use? Thanks in advance for any answer I can get.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jiangjunxia:
There is a pc software named Root Master could easily root you 4.1.2 Note2. No matter what is the version of twrp and supersu...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louiestl956:
pretty sure you could but if you intend to flash roms or other zip files most recommend an updated recovery.

also supersu will update in the play store after install recommend you do as many things have been fixed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
probably. I would flash the current TWRP which is at 2.6.3 (I think), just like any other flashable rom. It has some bug fixes. Plus, I'm not sure if the version you have sees the SD card or not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan3719:
Currently stock rooted. Using a Meenova adapter and a 64 GB SanDisk card that I have formatted to FAT32. This device and card work perfectly on my Nexus 7 2013 which is also stock rooted. But when i try to use it on my Nexus 5 Stickmount fails to fully mount anything. No notification in the status bar. and can't unmount it either. Keep getting a "mount service is busy, try again later" toast. Can't kill it or unmount. Have to three finger hard reboot my device. Is there compatibility issues with the Nexus 5? Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doukeyakusha:
There is another app that you can try such as: USB OTG Helper

Did you ever solve this problem?

Reporting Issues

:

Do NOT report issues here if you're running a non-stock kernel, Xposed and/or modules, or any other non-stock mods.

For bug reporting (stock Slim ROM/kernel/GApps only), please use the Slim Bugreport tool, accessible through Settings > SlimCenter > Bugreport to produce a zip file in the phone's storage which you then can upload to the SlimROMs Skyrocket Subforum for review. Please see Reporting Bugs on the Slim web site for more information.

Any issues please explain with specific details, how to reproduce the problem, and provide a Slim Bug Report (preferred, in the ROM), or a logcat. Good feedback is ESSENTIAL. :)

Installation Notes:

Radios

: Make sure you are running the UCMC1 or UXUMA7 or newer radio, and follow the installation instructions linked to in post #1. Thank [MENTION=4565578]mohan_kr[/MENTION] for his flashable radio contributions ;)

Recovery

: Recommended recovery is philz_touch_6.41.6-skyrocket.zip (flashable), or philz_touch_6.41.6-skyrocket.tar.md5 (Odin). Check out the PhilZ's Skyrocket-specific thread here: [skyrocket][CWM Advanced Edition] PhilZ Touch. Look for updates in PhilZ's goo.im Skyrocket folder.

You can also use TWRP Recovery if you like, but I haven't used it for some time:

[RECOVERY][skyrocket] TWRP 2.7.1.0 touch recovery.

Superuser

: The Slim Team has made it so the Superuser App is not enabled by default, requiring users to intentionally turn on Root access. To enable it, navigate to Settings > Developer Options > Root Access and choose Apps and ADB (even though it may appear selected). For this to work, you need to first go to Settings > About Phone and tap on Build Number several times to gain access to the Developer Options.

Also see here: How do I enable Root?

Kernel

: The kernel is based on the Moretz CM-11.0 kernel, but overclocking has been disabled to enhance stability. For sweep2wake, fast charge, and CPU freq/governor control features, I'd recommend [ROOT] Kernel Tweaker from the Play store.

Wi-Fi

: Wi-Fi connection dropping issues? Check your region code in Settings > Wi-Fi > (menu key) > Advanced > Wi-Fi region code. It may be set to Europe by default, which uses a different set of Wi-Fi channels than the United States.

DPI

: For information on changing the screen DPI, see here: How to change the screen density (DPI). Beware that some apps may not play nice with custom values, although normally the Slim GApps are modified to tell the Play Store and a couple other apps that the phone's DPI is always 240. ;)

Enjoy!

If you press and HOLD the power button to force a reboot - The screen will turn on - It's seemingly somewhat random - I've been able to power off / on the screen repeatedly

- But then it fails to respond again... And have to force a reboot again..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Same here.

Although it doesn't work for alpha builds, and I don't know if it is an automated build that has the same display issue or not, the SlimCenter OTA tool shows 4.4 Alpha 1.3 is available.

I also noticed:

The Display>Light Options menu has an entry for Pulse Notification Light, but this is also listed first in the Notification light options.

Activating the Volume Wake option has no effect on the black screen issue.

I couldn't find the TRDS options mentioned in the OP (most everything is black & white in the base theme anyway).

Fast and smooth :)

Hey [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION], do you and/or the Slim folks have enough debug info about the BSOD issue? I nandroided my SlimKat install for later troubleshooting since I didn't have a chance to grab a logcat when I tried it and needed my phone. If you want another, just let me know. I'm thinking it's kmsg you might want, but idk... ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
A logcat and kmsg of while it happens would be great. I have 2 logs but i havent had a chance to take a look at it. I hope to have time tonight or tomorrow night :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
OK, I flashed back to SlimKat here and reproduced the black screen issue. Pulled dmesg, /proc/last_kmsg, and logcat with adb.

Interesting note is that the phone is not completely dead when this happens. When I plug into and remove the phone from my workstation, I hear the charging sound but no screen wake-up or response. I tried to guess where my PIN numbers would be to see if I could unlock the phone with the screen off (and hear the unlock sound), but I couldn't get it.

For dmesg, I get an error "klogctl: Operation not permitted". I tried to save it to the phone but I couldn't define the local phone path correctly (tried /storage/sdcard0/ and some others) but I kept getting "The system cannot find the path specified". If I run adb shell, I can navigate to that folder/storage location and I get the same error message... I'm kind of a noob with adb here. ;)

My free pastebin account is limited to 500k per paste, so hopefully I've captured the errors in the logcat. I saw a bunch of E/qdoverlay lines...

http://d-h.st/nqA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION]. I've been hacking away at it until just recently when CM updated the camera wrapper and a ton of other things. Unfortunately, I've been struggling with build issues. It's good to see you've updated this... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Yeah this build is running good. GPS still doesn't lock when set to Device Only, but Camera does record and LTE is now working in Network Settings! I am not sure if the whole Camera wrapper is included in this as 1080p still is corrupted. On gerrit though, David and Dave mentioned that the -next branch of the kernel must be used at the time to make it record fully. They are trying to incorporate it into the main cm-11.0 branch. Also to enable root with SuperUser, you need to go into SuperUser and select Apps only option. If you don't do this, apps will keep on saying there is no root. [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION], do you have the option of adding the "Performance" tab into the rom, you will have to use a CPU Control rom to control the CPU speeds if you don't.

Even with the issues mentioned, this rom is awesome! [MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION] deserves a lot of credit as he was working on this for awhile and made awesome strides to getting the Camera to record! Let me know if you need anybody to test future builds as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
I wonder if they'll be any improvement if we use sultan's kernel with this? I tried it with PAC but the rom wouldn't load (he said it should work with any cm based rom, assuming PAC is CM based lol).

I'll give it a shot when I get a moment and see if it even loads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Ok, the one thing that I've noticed with Sultan's kernel is that if there was corruption in recording 1080p in the stock kernel and you flash his kernel, it wouldn't fix it because the -next branch includes additional merges that help fix the camera that the kernel doesn't provide. Before the media-caf merge was provided to fix the 5-second delay, flashing his kernel would fix that though. Also with using that kernel, if you flash an update that restores the stock kernel, I've noticed that you get no vibrate whatsoever in the rom, so just be careful.

Edit: After trying to adjust my governor to ondemand from a CPU throttle app, I get random reboots every so often. I use "No-frills CPU control" and use stock values, anybody else? Strangely on a CM 11 test build using the -next branch, I got the same thing, so this rom must be using some merges from -next, just not the specific ones that allow the camera to record at 1080p with stock Camera. Google Camera I just found out record 1080p perfectly.
