Sprint CDMA is different. On sprint all I had to do was make sure that phone wasn't tide to an account and like u said activate on ura and ur good to go. But gsm is different since all u do is put in the sim
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No. This is why I suggested a picture of him handing the phone over. That is more security. A picture of the licence plate proves nothing except identity (if that) and certainly does not prove the op didn't steal the phone

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
Hmm..maybe a little bit of misunderstanding due to the geographical differences. When you say license in the USA, you are talking about a drivers license. He took a picture of his identification with his name and address on it. Having a name, address, email traffic discussing the transaction, and the phone in question would be more than enough evidence to charge someone with fraud.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moldovanos:
Ok, then what? Dont be naive. If Sprint or Tmobile does not believe you that you bought that phone, you gonna hire a lawyer and pay thousands of dollars to prove that you have bought it? You really are in mercy of the phone representative you get on the phone. I've bought tons of phones on Craigslist and resold them on Ebay. If Craigslist seller wants to screw you, nothing will help you out, because its a cash transaction.. Even if you have clear evidence on your hands police wont do ****, simply because its not worth wasting their resources for one phone.

But yes, if he let you make the picture of his license, then most likely he wont try to report it lost/stolen. But then again, if he got it from Tmobile for $50 and did not pay the bill, Tmobile will block the phone, like Sprint and Verizon always have done and you still can be screwed even if the phone is not stolen.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janbong:
I've seen some people having trouble with the "Mediaserver" sucking up their battery on the Moto g. I found out what is is, but I don't know how to fix it.

It's caused by a wakelock called "qcamera2factory" and it always starts when I use Snapchat, an app most of you guys should know and probably use. So the "qcamera2factory" starts every time I open Snapchat for the first time after forcing to "kill" Media Server with an app called "Mediaserver killer" and if I don't kill it that way, it just keeps on adding time to the "keep wake" on the battery screen.

It sucks that I can't use Snapchat and I really want a fix for it. Can someone on here help me with this?

Thanks in advance, I would really apreciate it!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miklosbard:
fyi: I don't have snapchat but the last 2 days I had the same wakelock from qcamera2factory, solved by clearing data on media storage, force stopping camera and gallery and a reboot, since I don't have root atm.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janbong:
What do you mean by clearing data and forece stopping gallery? Thanks for your reply
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miklosbard:
settings/applications/all, search for the names I mentioned, and click on them and you will see the 'clear data' and 'force close' buttons
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unlinker:
It's not caused by Snapchat, it just appears sometimes when you use the camera. I had this wakelock twice and in both cases I was just making photos, I don't have Snapchat installed.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unliyo:
Happened to me with Focal (beta) camera, and skype. Seems to be something buggy with camera apps
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grockstar:
Had this wakelock as well. Turned out to be Skype. Uninstalled and everything Is good.

Who'da thunk a Microsoft app would degrade the performance of an Android phone? :rolleyes:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guillembonet:
a motorola agent told be that skype is working bad now and causes this bug, but he said that in 4.4 it will be solved

Any body help me
[Android General] shimp208:
Are you talking about custom device drivers, such as the ones that interface with the Camera, Graphics, Sound, etc.? What type of device driver are you looking to develop (What function is it for I.E accelerometer, gps, light sensor, etc.)? If your talking about custom device drivers I would recommend taking a look at this documentation on Android Low-Level System Architecture. Additionally because Android is based on the Linux Kernel this is a great book to understand Linux Driver development. Let me know if you still have any questions.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nfsplayer99:
Hey there, so my phone randomly decided to stop working today.

Whenever I put the battery in the phone or plug in the charger, the Samsung screen loads then nothing. This all happens without me pushing the power button btw. Then the power button doesn't work, nor can I access recovery.

Like I mentioned, this all happened very suddenly and unexpectedly. I haven't flashed a rom in awhile so I'm not sure what caused the problem. One tidbit worth mentioning is that my phone would randomly reboot on the rom I've been using, but it wouldn't happen too often.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Not exactly sure what I should do in this situation. Thanks for reading.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andy_nu:
try to be quicker to access recovery, power off the phone. then press the power, vol up, and home then AS SOON as you see the blue text on the left top side of the samsung logo screen let go of the buttons, it should boot into recovery then wipe data factory reset and reboot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nfsplayer99:
Yeah, I was able to do that once, but then the phone just goes to a black screen and doesn't load anything
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andy_nu:
flash this recovery attached with odin by booting into download mode via power vol down and home, wipe data factory reset and reboot

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390275921635705049 (odin)

place in pda with only f. reset time and auto reboot checked. it SHOULD only take about 10 seconds to flash. as soon as your phone reboots hold the recovery combo and it should go to it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nfsplayer99:
I can't really access download mode either.

I'll get to the screen that asks if I want to go into download mode, then push the up on the volume rocker, get to the next screen, but then it goes black about a second later.

Thanks for all the help so far though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Andy_nu:
kinda odd. never had that happen before. ,maybe you could try to reflash the download mode into your phone using this method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2369125(make sure you use a debrick.img http://d-h.st/iEy for att not sprint BTW)

or use a jig. since your phone can still access the boot interface.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] indymx:
Have you done this and then connected the USB to see if ODIN will recognize the phone? it's entirely possible that you are getting into download mode, but just can't see it..

It's certainly worth a try.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] violentmind:
I was so excited when I saw this ROM posted! I got it all working wonderfully, until I restarted my phone, and it wouldn't get past the Exhibit screen. Pulled the battery, did another wipe and re-flashed the ROM, got it going again, but the same problem upon restart.

Any ideas? Anything I could have missed?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jfbs:
Which recovery are you using, because you will need at least 6.0.4.5.

Edit: 6.0.4.4 or greater.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
That's not a recovery problem, it happens to me when I restore all my apps, reinstalled them manually and problem is gone
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] violentmind:
I'll give that a try next weekend and see if it helps. Thanks for the tip!

For jfbs I'm running cwm 6.0.4.5

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karine:
On the Verizon Note 3 is there any way to enable the read aloud feature in Play Books without having to turn on Talk Back? Turning on Talk Back is very cumbersome, otherwise makes the phone very difficult to use, and disables Smart Screen and Air View options. I thoroughly enjoyed the read aloud feature in Play Books on my Note II and it did not require the use of Talk Back. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archaleus:
Read Aloud

I use it all the time without talk back being on. When you are actually reading a book in play books, hit your phone menu button and there will be an option that says read aloud. This works for me until I hit menu again and stop reading.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Karine:
Do you have a Note 3? On my Note 3 the read aloud option only appears on the menu if Talk Back is on. If you have the Note 3 and you have the option to read aloud without Talk Back turned on, what accessibility options do you have turned on?

I am using a custom Rom for android 4.4.0 and recently got an OTA alert for 4.4.2.

First was when I used a rom to stock android 4.2.2 and then used OTA to get 4.3 and it worked fine, but the second time was 4.3 to 4.4 and it messed my phone up big time and took a whole day to sort it out.

Would it be safe to go through with using OTA for 4.4 to 4.4.2?

Sounds like you guys are volunteering, make a nandroid and find out, I mean this ROM is smooth and more stuff works, but as far as the exact context of your question, does it matter?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] mallman:
it matters because certain games and/or graphic types are performing poorly in CM. If they are not performing poorly here there may be a possible solution tucked away in PA. That's my guess ....

But downloading very slow, it would be a good idea with a BitTorrent mirror :o

Ok, I froze it in tibu. Gonna see if that helps. I am not even using it though. I use Nova prime exclusively.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
This Rom rocks! Just flashed it and the only issue I have is with the SD card. All my apps seem to work either as good or better than the lg version. So far I'm happy, hopefully no serious bugs pop up ?

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Regardless if you use it Google search is known to kill battery for no reason. Sometimes you can fix it by uninstalling Google play services in titanium backup and reinstalling it with Google play store. That has helped me in the past. It's hit and miss for some reason

Edit... Don't do that, apparently it doesn't work the same as an LG Rom. You won't be able to download it back and will be forced to refresh the gapps
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] naruto.ninjakid:
Is anyone willing to post a few screenshots?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] joshuadjohnson22:
It just looks like stock... See below:

For those having battery drains you may want to disable Google search also not just the Google launcher.

I found another bug, when I reboot I lose the Icon in my dock on the right... Doesn't matter what it is... Odd

XBMC?

Is it just me, or is the elephant in the room with all these 4.4 roms the fact that XBMC doesn't work (no screen touches registered) ? People go on about smart covers, notification bars and little hiccups here and there, meanwhile this major piece of software seems to be broken on every custom rom for our device except for the one based on the stock firmware.

Oddly, I am running XBMC on Kit Kat on my Nexus 7 just fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] woody1:
Might be a major issue for XBMC users, but I don't know how many people are running XBMC on a tablet. I've never used it, but doesn't it make more sense to run it on a stick computer? No offense, just asking.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] zahir32:
XBMC on Tablets

If you haven't tried XBMC (properly set up) on a tablet, you're missing one of the delights of owning a media consumption device. There is a cornucopia of high definition movies, documentaries, TV series, music shows and news programs waiting to be had. The convenience of having all this media content at your fingertips on a tablet can't be overstated. Stick PCs chain you to a TV screen - that's what they're for. XBMC sets you free - at least on every other tablet I own except the LG Pad running custom firmware!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Meisterqn:
I love XBMC on my tablet, too.

With a plugin for my favourite streaming service for HD movies and series, it's great on every place with WIFI.

I'm waiting until it's running on custom roms.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] woody1:
Good to know. I'll give it a try!
