well basically the way I would conclude is , the modem acts only as the trigger to boot other aspects of the phone (even if its powered OFF), which can be retrieved / activated by and with such a tracking technology . So its just not a GSM loophole but an all inclusive tracking technology.

sorry to inform you, that technolgy has already been developed that it can be powered on by the internal battery and topped up by a wireless source, by those whose intention is to spy on targeted individuals when necessary. So even if external battery is removed its internal clock battery is active to do the job.

and as for iphone , you cannot even remove the battery as already mentioned by klau1

[HTC Amaze 4G] Gr1771n:
so my amaze has been out of commission for a solid four months and i now have a nexus 5, but today i tried something. I originally thought my amaze's screen ribbon was messed up (it also has a missing contact in the headphone jack the left one to be exact, and both speakers are shot -prior to demolition-), but as it turns out there is actually a short somewhere in the circuitry. I took the liberty of completely tearing apart the phone (literally the plastic band around the glass is destroyed now). so after I have a pile of phone guts i start to put back together what I can. basically I had the screen, circuit boards, and battery sitting in it's shell. I also cleaned off a little corrosion on some of the parts too. then I plug it into my computer and bam the screen comes on! I almost had a heart attack, I honestly didn't expect that, and what is more interesting is that I was able to everything fine until it came time to flashing a ruu to get it back to stock, it wouldn't do it. but I kid you not, after multiple failed ruu flash attempts and a re-lock of the boot-loader I push the power button (more of a squishie than a button now) it started booting up CM10 like it was the day it died on me four months ago! Then when it finished booting up, the touch screen started freaking out and thought that I was touching it everywhere (i'm so glad I always turn on show touches in dev options) then it died again, I guess the short became active again, but here is the weird part, when I had it plugged into my pc and it started glitching I would unplug it and it shorted my pc and made it do a self-save power-out. I just thought i would share this with you guys to see if you have had any hardware probs out of you'r amazes.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ezdi:
I'm sure plenty of people have them.

Screen bleed is the most famous.

Randomly shutting off is common too.

HTC has crappy power buttons on a lot of devices.

I got bit by all 3 of those (but my power button wasn't quite dead yet) before I got bit by the bug that our flash chip has. I was trying to use my phone as a USB drive and copied a ton of stuff over, the progress bar stopped moving and the phone didn't seem to be running right, so I rebooted. Somehow it bricked and now the charging light wouldn't even come on. Started from the unbrick tricks, but I was way worse off than what they are for and near as I could tell something had disappeared really early on in the bootchain process and it was unfixable without direct access to the eMMC to rewrite the whole image.

Later found out once I got a pantech burst (which has very similar hardware) to replace my amaze that the MMC chip we have can get confused and randomly swaps blocks of storage around. It's easiest to trigger if you have lots of writes pending and the operating system tries to deallocate a block (like trim on a SSD); sometimes the chip will de-allocate the wrong block. Mine happened to garble something really close to the beginning resulting in my brick.

Much later I got a broken phone off ebay to rip apart to see if I could get the many gigs of data I MOVED to my phone immediately before it died only to find it just had a dead battery...maybe. It was well used, but didn't look physically damaged. It turned on but the screen was just static, like an analog tv with no channel. Couldn't get it working, but on other phones it looks like this is what happens when the chip in the LCD dies.

Combined the two broken phones to make a working one and find that this board has something going on where the battery drains when the phone is shut off, thus explaining why the battery that came with it was completely toast. Maybe I screwed up the rebuild, but I don't know how.

tl;dr: Yes, I have had some hardware problems.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Gr1771n:
Yeah I had that power button issue ( the problem is it splits apart and gets corrosion in it and its awfully wobbly) I had had that problem with my galaxy Nexus's volume rocker too (I had it for development) , i split it open and scraped off the corrosion and closed it back up it didn't come apart after that either it was fine. I also had the reboots , random extreme power drain from 100% - 30% - then dead in minutes ( it was a rare occurrence though), the LCD short, bad charger connection, and like 1/2 inch of the touch sensor didn't work( it was just at the tip of the twrp slider too so I had to use clockwork). You know its ironic looking back before I got it I was looking at reviews and they all said it had that "unmatched build quality" and it ended up being one of the most hardware plagued phones of its time, quality was a key factor when I chose it, though I did slightly overuse it, i think it shouldn't have been so badly designed, I only had mine for just over 1 year of my 2 year contract and I didn't even get it from the contract, I broke my T-Mobile g2x after 6 months with it and got the amaze through insurance [which was BS since i paid monthly for it, had to send my broken phone to them (which I could have fixed for less), and pay the difference between its price and the price of the amaze. I ended up paying full price for the amaze and the monthly insurance bill, I would have been better off not getting the insurance because it limited me to only getting the amaze and the sensation "phones of equal or lessee value" ($250 more than the g2x), they screwed me over]. Even though its in pieces and will most likely never work again I will probably hold onto it forever because it was a great phone, even if it let me down a few times. I learned around 90% of everything I know about android developing and software developing in general from that phone and its really sentimental to me. Lolz all my broken and worthless stuff is sentimental to me, I think I'm may be a little bit of a hoarder but oh well. :rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Gr1771n:
Uuhh this post was a mistake... My bad, I done messed up
[HTC Amaze 4G] Gr1771n:
Here are pictures from after I tore it apart to get it working and it booting up after it was dismembered (after it booted it was fine, It would pick up touch from the messed up side but at the same time it went crazy and picked up "touches" everywhere, even when I wasn't touching it so everything almost worked but then died again) sorry the last one blurred I was riding in a car

I have updated to 4.3 originally when it come out for T-Mobile USA. I didn't uncheck power saving mode to be off before the phone updated. Now, power saver acts awry. I also have terrible battery life on 4.3 yet my battery is rated in good health by HTC's battery test. My screen acts unresponsive at times at night when on charge as if it has terrible sensitivity, but I calibrate it to no avail. Do I need another phone or do I need to reset the phone? Do I need to send it to HTC for repairs?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
I would be worth trying a RUU before sending it back

whats your MID and CID and firmware version?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nviz22:
Android version: 4.3, software number: 3.24.531.3, kernel: 3.4.10-g1cbcae4. baseband version: 4A.21.3263.-3_10.38m.1157.04L, build number: 3.24.531.3. Broswer Version: Webkit/534.30

HTC One M7 UL (PN07130) - T-Mobile (unlocked version bound to switch to AT&T in a few days).

I don't know what an MID and CID are and how to check for them. What's an RUU? I am on stock and never rooted my HTC One since rooting my sensation was terrible. I only root my Galaxy phones normally.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
Hi here's your info

T-Mobile

Firmware version: 3.24.531.3

modelid: PN0713000 MID

cid: T-MOB010 CID

Here is the Rom Update Utility (RUU) to reset your phone to Stock (you will loose everything) Simply run the EXE in windows and it will guide you through the rest.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nviz22:
Questions, if I never rooted my phone in the first place, will this method work? It should also probably solve my issues too?

Yes this is what they do to your phone if you take it in for repair.

it's a True Reset
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nviz22:
I should still have my phone unlocked right? How good is the battery life under the current update of 4.3?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
no you may have to relock the bootloader the command is fastboot oem lock

here's a tutorial of using RUU

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nviz22:
My bootloader is locked already anyways though.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nviz22:
The RUU did not solve my issues, so I am sending it back to T-Mobile.

Yep, now it's time for a repair.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] profarcity:
Hi there,

I am having an issue with my MK808B connecting to my home network. I can connect fine to numerous other hotspots (samsung galaxy nexus, ipad, mifi, etc), but for some reason it just does not want to connect to my home network.

My router is a Cradlepoint MBR-1000, and I am tethering it to a Pantech UM270 Modem for Verizon LTE internet. I can connect fine to this network on several other devices, including the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

The MK808B shows strong signal, but every time I hit "Connect", it will say connecting for a few seconds and then just revert to saying "Saved, Secured" but without any connection being made. I have of course tried all the normal stuff about rebooting routers, etc. I have tried "Forgetting" the network several times and re-connecting - no luck. I tried setting a static IP address to my home computers thinking there might be an IP conflict issue, but that doesn't seem to be it. I also tried taking off all security on the network, but it still does the same thing.

Some of the other forums I have looked at suggest going to some "Advanced" wifi settings on android, but the MK808b doesn't seem to have that option that I can find.

I looked into my router settings and I do not have any unusual permission settings that I can tell - i.e. no "MAC address filtering" or "Access Control" enabled.

Admittedly I am no network expert, and it seems like there must be some simple issue that I am overlooking.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks!
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] profarcity:
bump -- any ideas?
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] fbueller:
Stupid answer, but have you rebooted the stick? I've seen that happen on multiple Android devices randomly, and a reboot always fixes it. You can also forget the network and try reconnecting and retyping your password. Either/both of those should fix.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] profarcity:
Yup, tried both of those ideas. Thanks for trying to help, though!

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GusIsBoosted:
Sooo I really need some help.......

This is becoming extremely hurtful for my nexus 5 experience.

Iv'e had the phone for about a week now, so far loving everything about it.

have been extremely surprised at how awesome the phone runs on Straight talk... $45 a month.. what more could you ask for.

Now the only issue im having is the fact that the download speeds on the play store are stupid when im on wifi.

I mean my home internet is not amazing by any means... its only running at about 6mbs and the rest of my apps make full use of it.

But for some odd reason the PlayStore downloads at about 20 kb/s........

Iv'e read a few other people have been having this issue and I was wondering if any one has a solid fix for this?!?!?!

Thanks for your time,

Gus
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riekr:
I'm fairly confident that play store does some QoS (dscp) tagging on his traffic lowering the priority so if you have other applications consuming the bandwidth there will be much less available for your phone.

If your modem supports QoS you can assign dscp 0 (best effort, which is the default) to all traffic coming from your phone or assign a lower priority to the other bandwidth consuming services.

This is my request for all the INDIAN owners of Ideos X5 Pro (u8800pro).

I am badly in need of the stock gingerbread 2.3.5 that came out of the box installed on our phone. Either a CWM/TWRP Backup of the ROM or Huawei's flash package will do.

If you have the TWRP/CWM backup, you can rest assured that I will not misuse/open your google account or apps, I'll factory reset the phone right after restoring the backup. Trust me.

Please help me. :(

P.S.- I do not want the International or Chinese firmwares, (i.e., B521, and all). I want the B8xx or B7xx (I don't remember the exact number) that came with Indian phones.

I request the moderators to NOT to move this thread to "Quest. & Ans. & Troubleshooting" or "General".

I'll change the thread subject to "PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD" after I get even one backup/package.
