[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] okmd:
I've searched for a solution to this and not found a clear answer. I apologize if I missed something obvious.

I loaded CyanogenMod 11 (cm-11-20131126-unofficial-t0lte) on my AT&T Galaxy Note 2 (I317) last week. No problems with the install. The first time I was away from wi-fi I noticed it would drop the data connection. Didn't do this prior to the install. I was last using JediX19 (with no data connection drops, but the phone would occasionally shut itself down). Looking for a solution, I found a similar problem someone was having with T-Mobile and making a phone call resets the data connection. I've been loading the nightlies as they come out and they all work fine, but the phone still drops the data connection regularly.

My questions are: should my AT&T phone work with the t0lte version? Do I need to go back to CM10.1 or 10.2? Could I keep using CM11 if I update my radio? If so, which version do I want to choose?

Thanks,

OKMD

hi guys i have a Rogers sgh-i317m and recently downgraded it from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 and got it to work with Wind Mobile, I now want to upgrade it to 4.3 , if doing so will it kill my unlock with Wind Moible? and if not should i use odin to upgrade it or over the air?

My Last question is in regards to a thread i saw somewhere that said you cannot downgrade your sgh-i317 to 4.1.1 once you are on 4.3 , is that true? thanks alot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Unlock is permanent and you can downgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SaHiLzZ:
So far I have read is you can not downgrade from 4.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
You can downgrade. Make a nandroid.

I recently got the OTA 4.3 update and accepted it, but i felt the need to root it which i but after the rooting process was finished i booted my phone and instantly got a message saying superuser has stopped working. So i kinda panicked and decided to flash the stock MD4 rom and once it finished i tried to reboot the device but didnt get a response from it. I then pulled the battery out and tried to boot into recovery but still nothing not even a vibrate...Im most likely thinking its bricked but just to be sure im asking for your help. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenexusgeneration:
You hard-bricked it. When you update to MK3/4.3 via the OTA, you update the bootloader, which adds KNOX which prevents (by bricking) downgrading to anything lower than 4.3 versions. Good luck my friend.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WoodenDiamond71:
Yea i figured i did lol. You think my bestbuy total device protection will take care of it? Also thanks for the clarification.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thenexusgeneration:
I could say go in and play dumb, because they won't be able to get it to boot under normal circumstances. I also could say be honest and see if it's covered. Your judgement call. Glad to have helped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BIGSAMDA1ST:
By chance can you get it into download mode?

GS4 Stock Rooted MJA 4.3,Philz Touch CWM,HotSpot Mod,Transparent Weather Widget...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WoodenDiamond71:
Nope nothing like I said the phone didn't vibrate when trying to boot it up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FallenZen:
If you can return it to Best Buy as defective or DOA and have them replace it on the spot, do it. I doubt they've got the gear to check out the software/firmware status if it doesn't power up. However, if you are forced to go through Samsung directly then you may or may not be SOL. Good luck amigo.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:
Call Samsung and tell them you tried to root and bricked it. They won't care. they will reflash it for free. They will email you a return label and all.

I know this because I just bricked mine yesterday too....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WoodenDiamond71:
Want to say thank you to all who've given me even the slightest amount of info. I just got a new one today so the first thing im doing is flashing cyanogenmod and staying there lol

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rred:
This is an unmodified AT&T Atrix4G, which is supposed to be unlocked, but it was a warranty replacement and I believe it was carrier locked by the first owner, before ATR&T gave it to me. Last year, AT&T's unlock code didn't unlock it, and they and Moto both claimed to be stumped when we found this out last year. The phone did recognize AT&T NVMO SIMs, but would only say "network error" when I tried a T-Mob SIM.

So this week I went back to T-Mob, thinking maybe the phone IS unlocked but needs a T-Mob APN entered to work with a T-Mob SIM. Phone was working fine, and the T-Mob guy tried to boot the phone with a T-Mob SIM card in it. The phone asked for an unlock code, we put in the one AT&T had previously generated (and confirmed, no error there) and instead the phone rejected the SIM and said "emergency mode only".

Now, it won't recognize any SIM card, not the original AT&T card (AT&T also supplied a new card in case the old one was the problem) nor the T-Mobile. All it wants to do is boot to emergency mode, or ask for an unlock code again.

I've tried the factory reset cold-boot, that didn't help either.

The phone has just gone psychotic and doesn't like ANY SIM card. Is that nuts or what?

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get the phone working again? With AT&T or T-Mob, I don't care, I'd just like it to work as a phone again, even if that wipes all the data from it.

AT&T's store, and their local "tech center", were both dumbfounded. They claim they've never seen a phone that just won't work, won't unlock, won't take any SIM card before.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallovag:
I just got this as my first smartphone, so excuse the newbie! I just bought this phone from The Phone Cellar on eBay. I am on Page Plus' Talk n Text 1200 Plan. I cannot seem to send MMS messages on my phone and wonder if this is an issue with my plan or with my phone.

When I try to send a text message, the phone automatically tries to send it as MMS. I get the error "No data connection. Please check your MMS APN configuration in mobile network settings." But on the phone settings page, the only thing that shows up under Mobile Networks is a System Select option -- either "Home Only", or "Automatic." (I've tried both, and I still can't send MMS).

After I try to send a text, it fails, shows the error message, and the phone then reverts to some non-MMS format (the "MMS" indicator goes off - maybe that's SMS?). I can then send a text. So every time I want to send a text, I first just send a one-letter text that fails and then send the text I want to send! Picture messages never work.

I called Page Plus and they reset all the data features on my account and re-provisioned my device into the network, but that didn't work.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Ok, so let's say I'm willing to experiment with the "test" WWE rom here, BUT I have to be able to get back my T-Mobile one - including all the customizations - if I don't like it.

How do I go about this? Are there "gotchas" trying to reload things like there are on some Motorola phones where boot loader versions prohibit reloading an older image?

Can I "r2sd all" to the SD card to get the entire image off the device, bit copy that to a file on my PC (now its safe), and if I don't like what I get reload from the SD card? Or is that potentially dangerous?

I've got the T-Mobile MDA and I'm willing to experiment so long as I know I can go back...... The missing JAVA capability is what's driving this, although there's probably more I'd like to get rid of / add.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolkingler1:
I have a HTC One already, but for some unexplainable reason I have this insane urge to buy the Nexus 5.

Have the money required to go out and.buy it but common sense is stopping me.

It's not for showing off reasons, on the contrary, people would criticize me for having 2 phones (even though I do love phones.)

My dad has the Nexus 5 and so I had the chance to play around with it a lot and I have to say, it's a great device.

Is having 2 phones just unnecessary or is it okay?

Also I don't have enough reasons to buy other than I do a fair amount of media consumption and I like to have a backup phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpvu:
They're both great phones. I don't know why you would want to carry around both but it's your dollars. If all you're looking for is some stranger on the internet to tell you it's okay to have 2 phones...

It's okay to have 2 phones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
It's OK to have 3 phones. Hell if you keep it up long enough you could start a phone museum in ten or so years. Although I'm sure there's folks who have a huge head start on that. It's your money so it's your call.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolkingler1:

I'd love to have an HTC One, but got the N5. Had the choice of going with the One but I just love the Nexus devices that I got the 5. I still have my N4 and still play around with it. You can have your One and N5 and switch them out depending on your mood when going out. Have the One for work and the N5 for going out or something
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Honestly, having had both phones, it isn't much of an upgrade in my opinion. Plus, the HTC One is Sexy and doesn't look like cheap plastic build.

yeah, stick with HTC.

no point getting another similar phone.

If one phone is for personal use and the other for business is definitely ok. If both are for personal use then it could be too much.

Hey guys. I'm hoping one of you can help me. I'm having issues getting my Bluetooth to work. I'm running SHOstock in the stock slot on safe strap. I never had a problem with the phone connecting to my headset using my old stock ROM. However, it has never been able to connect while running SHOstock or Google play edition ROMs. My phone will see the headset but when I try to pair it says incorrect pin or password,but it doesn't ever give me an option to enter a new one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 04regency:
Hello,

My wife broke her iphone 4s so she bought this samsung galaxy nexus off of someone on facebook. The phone is working fine but there are just some little things that are kinda annoying. The phone doesn't have the factory text messaging app and it doesn't show up even after we did a factory reset. So we were kinda just dealing with that, but when we tried to do the verison backup assistance and it wasn't on the phone and we couldn't find it on the app store I called verizon and they said it was supposed to be in the factory software and there is no way to download it. So I asked what the phones info was supposed to be and this is what she said.

build number: JDQ39

Baseband version: I151.10 V.FK01 / I515.FK02

kernel version: 3.0.31-g9f818de

This is what the phone currently is

build number: KOT49E

Baseband version: I151.10 V.FK01 / I515.FK02

Kernel version: 3.0.72-ShinyROM-g7a04904 christian@christian-ubuntu #5

I just want to put it back to factory and from what I've read all I need to do is download the tool kit and it will restore it to factory software and unroot it?

Also since she had an iphone before she has had problems with people with iphones replying to her text messages. We already got on her iphone and shut the imessages off. is there anything else we are suppose to do?

Thank you in advance for all the help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stupendousman2012:
Try the Nexus Root Toolkit. There is a flash stock and Unroot bitton that will do it for you.

As for the Iphone, I've heard that it can take up to a day for the messages to stop routing through iMessage. Has it been that long for you?
[G Pad 8.3 General] ash99:
Hi,

Has anyone been able to actually compare the real world performance of the v500 and the v510. For anyone that doesn't know these are the non-Google play and the Google Play editions.

The hardware seems to be the same but one runs Android 4.2.2 and the other Android 4.4.2.

The original v500 seems run the chrome browser a bit laggy and I'm wondering if if the v510 does the same or does running on vanilla Android KitKat 4.4.2 help it.

Thanks

Ash.

I am so over this app bullsh*t in every android review.They were suppose be comparing the two tab's not the apps or icrap.
[G Pad 8.3 General] clemson77on:
Well it was Verge. I'm sure the article was written on an iPad sporting a picture of Steve Jobs wearing a black turtleneck for a background.
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
Agreed. I can't even read that crap anymore because it seems like every Android device review has an agenda. Their scores are all over the place, make no sense and are arbitrary and worse yet, they don't even add up to an average. They have the absolute worst scoring system of any website I've ever seen. The comment sections are even worse, full of Apple apologists. They have such a double standard, too. I stay far away from that website at all costs.
[G Pad 8.3 General] testadeferro:
The review was not so bad. Anyway I saw the site is a fan boy site. I've a I pad mini and for me the gpad it's miles better...
[G Pad 8.3 General] ASW1:
The review is not that bad really.

And as for comparison between the LGE and GPE this is mentioned:
[G Pad 8.3 General] shadowgolf:
My experience with the non GPE version as regards Chrome is that it opens near instantaneously, if the GPE version was half a second quicker it would be opening before you tapped the icon :)
[G Pad 8.3 General] kerheol:
+1000

Best comment I've read in days XDDDDD

I agree. Non GPE version is pretty fast.

Enviado desde mi LG-V500 mediante Tapatalk
[G Pad 8.3 General] TonyBigs:
To be fair this comparison is not quite equal. The hardware may be the same but the OS is 4.4.2 vs 4.2.2. If LG released a version of its 4.4.2 for the G Pad we'd have a much more equal comparison.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ASW1:
That's very true yes.
[G Pad 8.3 General] Tqpolo:
I have the non GPE and it is slow. I also have a Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013. The LG G pad is so much more laggy moving around the UI and opening apps. Chrome is frustrating to use and unbearable.
[G Pad 8.3 General] jmill75:
Not sure about unbearable, but I did return mine a month ago because of small lag issue's.

I ordered the Google edition this week, cant wait for it to get here. I prefer the smoothness of stock personally.
[G Pad 8.3 General] shadowgolf:
I have a Nexus 5 and that is absolutely not my experience. Just been comparing Chrome on both devices using the BBC website and there's very little to choose between them. The Nexus is marginally quicker at loading pages but scrolling is as smooth on both.
[G Pad 8.3 General] mustbepbs:
Same. Scrolling is super smooth, but then again I'm on a PA 4.4.
[G Pad 8.3 General] ash99:
Strange , I find it a bit jerky on the v500 .....
[G Pad 8.3 General] le grande magnetto:
Are you trying to say, that the one with 4.4.2 is better than the other?
[G Pad 8.3 General] testadeferro:
You must see what's happening with your gpad. I don't have this issues and in benchmarking I get 24k my s4 scores between 25k and 28k but has we know Samsung devices cheating benchmarks.
[G Pad 8.3 General] TonyBigs:
No, I'm just indicating the the comparison is more different than just the LG skin.

I switched to T-Mobile just little over a year ago. I am saving around $110 per month on two lines with unlimited 4G/LTE, calls and texting.

I never had Verizon but I'm expecting you to save more money if you move to T-Mobile.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TecmagDiams:
EDIT: Many apologies, I now see this belongs in a different thread, specifically the "7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" one... very sorry. I don't know how to move/delete this, and I don't want to repost it there without deleting this one, because double posting = bad. I don't know how to ask a mod to do it, if you can. Sorry for not knowing the forums. Many apologies.

So I'm pretty sure I Soft Bricked my Kindle Fire HD 7". I'm not too mad, but I would like to try and fix it. To be exact, it redscreens on boot.

I was attempting to install TWRP and was at the last few steps when I did it, which seemed like the ones that would brick it. From all my looking around based off what was going on and the log I have from the command prompt.

These where the last steps I took before the problem. pastebin.com/BqGGKziP

My questions are:

Is this a soft brick?

Is it fixable?

If so, any ideas?

I already know if this is fixable to expect to be told I need a developer cable, but please tell me anyways if I do.

EDIT: If I do need one, which I assume I do, where can I get one? Sorry for being a newb, I knew I would probably brick my device, but I really don't know too much about these things and would like to make sure I am getting the right thing.

I apologize for being new and not knowing my way around this forum, and if this is the right place exactly to post this, as well as if I accidentally broke any rules. I'd simply like to know if anyone who knows much could help. Again this isn't a big deal to me, but I would like to get it at least back to it's original state. I will do my best to provide any information asked for.

Get a tip for your USB cord here to http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm otherwise get a fastboot cord from ebay.

Download the SDK package https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Take take your SDK file and look for the folder that has the ADB.exe in it. I think this is the tools folder. Now open it and stick the drivers stunts has in that folder. Drivers here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477379

Now go install that driver for the Kindle in the device manager. Remember that where ever you CD from, that USB driver has to be in that folder as well. Now open that folder with the drivers in it again and stick the stock Amazon images needed in it (get from restore tool if want or Hascode has some in his OP for this) and hold shift and right click on "open command window here." Now you are in CD cmd. You can probably just as easy CD from inside the system restore tool as well (unzip it.)

With your tablet in fastboot, open a command window and type "fastboot devices" with no quotes and you should be able to see a number and your device. This is good and means there is communications. if not then you need to install the proper drivers.

You need three files. boot.img, recover.img and system.img get them from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

issue these commands

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot "your boot image name here."

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash recovery "your recovery image name here."

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system "your system image name here"

Make sure you end the commands with .img

Wait a little bit for it finish

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

Your bootloader crashed and that's why the red screen. You forgot to tick the the option to flash Amazon OS 7.2.3. always works better to downgrade to 7.2.3 first (for 7" KFHD)
