[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ronin4740:
I'm on Ota (kies) 4.3 with cwm custom recovery and rooted via cf-autoroot. Knox is part of the rom but isn't installed - you have to run the app and let it install.

So far no issues other than the allsharecast dongle not working. This is probably because triangle away doesn't work right in 4.3
[Nexus 5 General] myorks1127:
So this is a well-known trick that has worked since the N4 but I wanted to share it anyway. If you go to check for the update and it still says up to date, try this method as it has just worked for my N5 and my N7:

Settings>Apps>All Tab>Google Services Framework>Clear Data>Go back to check update and it should work, if not try the steps again.

Like I said, this has worked for my previous N4, N5, and N7(2013). Each time, I tried the check update button alone at least 5 times in a row with no luck, then trying the trick and checking it worked for each device.

Oh and BTW, this trick if done EXACTLY like this DOES NOT invalidate the tokens like some claim. My play store and GMAIL are completely fine on both devices.

PS: Do this at your own risk/if your new to Android (Butthurt syndrome cured)
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
A Google employee also explained why you should not do this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/com...ear_data_for_google_service_framework/cdiymrp
[Nexus 5 General] pranavt2000:
Oh no you didn't.
[Nexus 5 General] whosgotlag:
You're wrong, you shouldn't do that. A quick Google will tell you why
[Nexus 5 General] myorks1127:
I read that post before and have yet to find a single issue with my devices and never had an issue for my N4 when I did it so I don't see what the big deal is...there is another very similar method that does indeed mess up the tokens but it IS NOT the same by any means.

Please prove me wrong, I will check anything on my phone that you think isn't working now because I did this the quick and easy way instead of wasting my time sideloading...
[Nexus 5 General] Lucke:
i'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you don't work for Google, specifically the Android/Mobile division. but since you don't see what the big deal is (going against what a Google engineer says) we should all believe you.

this may not mess up your phone, but it wrecks havoc on the back end of Google's servers... when a Google engineer tells us all not to do something, then thoroughly explains why, it's probably best to heed his advice.
[Nexus 5 General] yabbb:
Tried this, took five data clears and it gave me the update. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] myorks1127:
It doesn't wreak havok on my end so why would I care?
[Nexus 5 General] TiltedAz:
I'll go out on a limb and say if it caused that much grief for Google the clear data feature would have been gone a long time ago.
[Nexus 5 General] laker666:
Its worked since the nexus s btw

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

I've done it with every update since ICS and never had an issue...and its always worked
[Nexus 5 General] myorks1127:
Glad I finally have some people backing me up lol, my brother is an engineer for Amazon and he thinks he knows everything too...
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
And this is how people who don't know better come here to XDA and mess up their devices because they follow bad advice that they read. Don't do this. It can have unintended consequences and according to Google has absolutely no effect on when you will receive an OTA.
[Nexus 5 General] myorks1127:
People who don't follow the exact directions you mean..and are you saying that this trick worked for 3 Nexus devices I own completely by chance after trying to update over 5 times each before doing the trick and then it working after the trick?
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
What I am saying is that it doesn't matter how many people like you swear that it works. The people who actually work on Android say it doesn't and that it can have bad consequences. And anyone who actually wants the update can simply sideload it with absolutely no ill effects if they want to force the update onto their devices early. There is absolutely zero reason to do what you swear works.
[Nexus 5 General] myorks1127:
The reason to do it is to save time and hassle of doing all the steps needed for side loading, but no worries, I got the update faster and easier than anyone who side loaded with ZERO consequences to me..:good:, your Google knee pads must be pretty worn out by now huh?
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
Or you can just wait for the update. I'm still on 4.4 and happy about it. 4.4.1 brought radio issues, and 4.4.2 also seems to have a few bugs. Hopefully by the time I get the OTA, the bugs will be fixed.
[Nexus 5 General] muyoso:
Yes, I am sucking Google's **** because I am telling users who don't know better that Google specifically said not to do this. You got me. My secret is out.
[Nexus 5 General] bozzykid:
The problem is you don't know if it does. Because the GCM id changes, things like push messages from different apps will likely stop working (maybe permanently if they don't properly handle a changing id). You might not of noticed this much in the past because not a lot of apps utilized GCM push messages. However, more and more apps are using them today.
[Nexus 5 General] fallout0:
It's amazing that people will ignore advice from the people that have written the actual software. Just don't do it. The worst part about doing it is that you may not even know that something has messed up because its not obvious.
[Nexus 5 General] jojoluton:
Thanks worked for me

Took me straight from 4,4 to 4,4.2 after 4 attempts
[Glass General] zoglog:
Signed up for an invite on the site. Picked it up today. If you get an invite and live close enough to one of the pickup points I recommend going over it with a glass guide.

It's definitely not worth the price for most people but It's very very interesting to see the potential especially with some of the applications are there. I feel like it's definitely the path for the future of portable device accessories.

Biggest shortfall is the battery life currently so I'm planning on getting a portable charge device to run a little extra juice into it. Second one is making sure I have a solid mobile internet connection thanks to sprint's crappy network. Good thing though you can fix the battery by having a portable battery unit. Not optimal but a simple workaround that works well.

Yes you can watch Freddie mercury videos while in the car :)

[Moto X Q&A] aooga:
Well this is odd, when I turned my phone on this morning, "Motorola Contextual Services" force closed about 3 times and hasn't done it since. Then when I was driving to work, it didn't read my incoming messages or calls, which was weird. So I went into the Assist app and I saw that the "Driving" tab wasn't there anymore. I (reluctantly) reset the phone, and it still doesn't show up.

I took the screenshot before I reset, so it still has a xposed on it, but I used RSD lite so it reset everything.

Do you install through custom recovery?
[Nexus 5 General] GabbyWC:
In case anyone had any doubts, the name and checksum on the zip file is indeed the same as the update on Google's servers so it's all good. I don't use a custom recovery but stock recovery works fine if you sideload from Android 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 as I did.

[HTC One Max] imex99:
Has anyone connected to band 41 for Sprint, if so, how?
[HTC One Max] bitslizer:
yes, its done automatically, but you need to be in an area that have band 41.

To check goto the sprint coverage map, zoom pretty much all the way in, and see if the area have "Spark Turbo" from S4GRU Spark turbo are B41 with upgraded backhaul, you maybe able to get B41 in none Turbo (can be B41 without upgraded backhaul) but in my experience I have not seen B41 in none turbo area.

if you need to see what Turbo area looks like on the coverage map, check out downtown chicago zoomed in

btw HTC one max reception is not that great, and pretty much if you are in a building away from the window you won't be able to get B41 (single family house maybe ok depending on how far you are from the tower)

oh just notice you are from S4GRU also lol

Yes, Columbus, Ohio had phase 1 b41 but no one has connected to it yet and had done phase 2 completed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jimgreco:
Hey guys, I updated to 4.4.2 but I cant seem to get root back or recovery to stick. I had no problems with my N5.

Maybe its my procedure?

Updated to 4.4.2 using the latest CWM Touch

Flashed CWM Touch using Fastboot

Install the latest SuperSU zip in CWM Touch.

Restart and no Su binary is found.

When I try to restart into Recovery, I get the android with a red explanation point.

*Edit* I've tried regular CWM as well as TWRP but same issue

Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidshadow:
I have seen it before where the device gets rooted but you have to manually download super su from the Google play store. Try grabbing super such to make sure that you are in fact rooted or get a root checker...

CF-auto-root is the way to go...

Have fun with 4.4.2
[HTC Droid DNA] ADRogers:
Can someone please post an RUU for the DNA? The servers used by Santod (only servers I have found) are based geographically too far away and the server ends my download after one hour downloading. It takes about 1.5 hours to download. I live in Georgia and my download speed is usually ~1.5 MB/S but when using the servers for the RUU, they are ~150KB/S. My DNA does not recognize my SIM card and reads my phone number as 000-000-0000. I was hoping returning to stock would fix this, or at least allow me to take my phone to Verizon.

I think they will definitely fix it by the January update but I wouldn't expect more than what they did for the Moto X.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neugenusis:
I'm guessing unlikely. Unlike the Moto G, those other phones got fixes because they were premium devices and have capable hardware, which caused turmoil among their user base pre-fix.

Mostly no one expects a budget phone such as the Moto G to do better than it already does.

Bought the Moto G for £99 here in the UK and was a choice between the Sony Xperia L for a similar discounted price and the camera on the Moto G is worse than my HTC Desire from several years ago! I'm still within the 28 returns period so could possibly buy the Sony to test at home too but even with the new camera update, pictures have so much noise I have actually checked the glass covering the lens several times for any plastic etc they might have left on it for packaging. Apart from the camera the Moto G feels like a £300+ phone but I think the Sony Xperia L which has 8MP Camera as well as MicroSD slot etc might be the better phone for the same money.
[General Accessories] KoRRo89:
hi. first of all i've read the forum rules about questions but i'm still not sure if i should post here or in q&a since this is both a question and it's related to accessories. if this is the wrong section please move the thread.

anyway i'm going to buy a bluetooth hands free for my car to replace my old headset. since i always listen to music from my phone when in my car i was thinking about buying an hands free that also supports a2dp. i searched for some time both here in xda and on the internet but i'm still not sure what to buy.

firt of all a list of what i'm pretty sure i will or will not need on it:

integrated microphone, possibly with noise cancellation or a mic in connector or something similar, anyway i prefere not to use the phone mic

integrated speaker is not needed at all, i plan to use it only with the car speakers

keys for music control on the receiver are not needed

integrated voice controls or any other integrated function are not needed at all, i prefere to use the phone functions directly

now a list what i'm not sure about.

first of all is bluetooth 4.0 needed? i heard that if both the phone and the receiver have bt 4.0 i will have better audio quality and less battery drain, is it true?

i'm not sure about what i prefere about the internal battery and the cables. i prefere to have less cables as possible, but usually this kind of decives have unified cables only if the cable is built in both in the device and in the car charger. also they usually don't have internal battery. even if i don't think to use it outside my car i don't like the idea to have fixed cables. also an integrated battery will allow me to use it even if the engine is stopped.

i had tons of other questions before starting to write this post but now i forgot most of them, anyway i will update the post as soon as i remember them, in the meantime can you post both suggestions about my doubts and product suggestions?

anyway at the moment my best choices are:

GOgroove SMARTmini AUX

Kinivo BTC450

what do you think about them?

Just to let you guys know, there's an Xposed module called App Settings that works pretty good with the Gear.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2437377

Since most apps aren't optimized for the Gear's small screen, we can resize the DPI, Font, etc. of individual apps to our liking with this.

I tried this with Tablet Talk and works great. The app's default text is still pretty small even if you set it to "Huge". With the App Setting module, I set the font to 120, and also checked the "full screen" box. It makes the text much easier to read on the go.:laugh:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] the1onewolf:
Hey Guys,

New Nexus 5 owner and former Nexus 4 owner here.

I’m checking out new cases and I’m wondering what you guys would recommend. I’m looking for cases that:

•	Have a clear backside.

•	Have good button feedback (Especially not the stiff volume buttons)

•	Don’t ruin the feel of the phone.

•	Don’t damage the phone (The irony).

The things that seem to fit this criteria are

1)	Bumpers (feel free to recommend some good ones you like)

2)	Spigen Crystal Shell (heard it may possibly damage the phone)

3)	Spigen Case Ultra Hybrid

4)	Ringke Fusion (I remember the nexus 4 version of this case had stiff buttons and created air bubbles on the backside if you had a back skin protector)

5) SUPCASE Google Nexus 5 Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case

Do you guys any particular feedback and experiences with these cases? Having used or tried these cases, would you pick one over another? Are these cases compatible with the rear screen Skin protectors (do screen protectors create those annoying air bubbles)?

Thanks for your help folks.
