Thanks for the write up...

You said that with the macro lens you DON'T need to use the supplied magnetic ring?

That's good news for me then.. Lol

Also you said that you are going to keep the ring on... Even though its unsightly... What about painting it or plastic dip black?

Now off to find a macro photojojo lens :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] abbz123:
that rainbow...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ralphwiggum1:
Gotta be Hawaii.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] WangLung:
That's right the macro lens worked well with or without the magnetic ring supplied by Photojojo!

I thought of painting it but it would eventually come off so I'm just gonna leave it.

It's our winter haha

You're right!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rayz93:
Great review,

from the shots you've taken, it seems Macro lens is the only one worth getting. :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] WangLung:
Thanks! Haha its up to you but remember that the macro lens does not come by itself it comes with another portion that doesnt do anything by itself but when combined with the macro lens it becomes the wide angle lens!

Ill get more macro shots uploaded soon then...

in the mean time enjoy this!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jcarlm:
My question would be is after removing the magnetic ring the resin left on the lens itself. How hard would it be to remove?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] wyrman:
Where do you buy the lens?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] WangLung:
I have applied and removed 2 magnetic rings on my nexus and there is no residue or scratches but please do be careful

I believe amazon might have them as well

i just installed 4.4 gummy 2.1 rom and i cant get the data to work i was want to know if any body else had that problem and how did you fix it
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
I had this problem with CM11. I tried everything. Finally I did a factory reset and installed it again and it worked fine.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
I take my previous post back, I was out and about today and I was not able to get mobile data.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
You both probably just need to manually set your APNs. It's different for every carrier so you'll need to Google your carriers APNs.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dmroeder:
Aah, thanks for the hint! You were exactly right.

Luckily my ROM on system 1 works fine so I booted into it, backed up Phone/Messaging...(SMS/MMS/APN) with Titanium Backup, then restored it in my 4.4 ROM. Working like a champ now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hYpercrites:
Hello,

first of all, i'm not good in english, it's not my native language. I hope you guys understand me anyaway.

Since a week now i'm using Cyanogenmod 11 (beta 2 atm) for my Xperia S, included unlocked bootloader and stuff (i did it only because of CM 11).

And i have a USB OTG cable from "Decrescent", the Amazon description says it works with Sony Xperia S ...but nothing! :(

I tried different USB-Sticks, keyboards, other thinks but nothing works (only the LEDs from some USB-Devices flashing).

I googled about 2-3 hours now, tried different thinks, many playstore apps but ...no, still notghing. :(

Yesterday i tried it on a Galaxy S3 from a friend, all works, no probs. :confused:

EDIT: ow, only a USB-Stick from a friend works, but not more.

Now my question(s): does the kernel for/or CM 11 don't have OTG support? what can i do/try?

I hope, somebody can help and i'm in the right section here to ask thinks like this. :)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Frank Westlake:
Here's what I had to do to get MTP working on Slackware Linux.I'm providing the method as an update archive but it is a simple task if you wish to do it on your own, just read the internal script.

Instructions:

1. Place 'mtp.zip' on your device.

2. Reboot into Recovery.

3. Choose Install.

4. Find and select 'mtp.zip'.

5. Reboot.

6. Plug the device into Linux.

7. Wait until the Verizon CD Installer has unmounted.

You may need to install something on Linux to provide MTP . This is probably the simplest:

https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs

The text at the bottom has a link to pre-compiled binaries.

Here is the script I use to mount/unmount MTP (usinf 64-bit binary):

------

#!/bin/bash

delay=0

if [ "$1" == "on" ]; then delay=1; go-mtpfs.x86_64 -allow-other=true -android=true /media/mtp&

elif [ "$1" == "off" ]; then fusermount -u /media/mtp

fi

sleep $delay

mount|grep "/media/mtp" >/dev/null && echo MTP is active. || echo MTP is disabled.

------

USAGE:

mtp on # Mounts the device at /media/mtp. The directory must exist.

mtp off # Un-mounts the device.

mtp # Reports the state.

Merry Christmas!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] christianpeso:
Not trying to be funny, but what is the point of this? My Note 3 already mounts as MTP after you chose to do so. Meaning plugging into PC, pull down notification, and chose MTP. Or Plug into PC, wait about 30seconds, and then phone will automatically change to MTP and you can see both internal storage and your SD card under explorer. Am I missing something here?

Now if you can bypass that Verizon CD Installer and go straight to MTP, than you would be on to something.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Frank Westlake:
Mine did not, nor did any when I bought it. Which version did you first have this ability with, MI9, MJ7, or MJE? Did you add any support applications on the PC which added this ability? I am still using MI9.

Working on it.

Frank
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] christianpeso:
All versions I believe. When I 1st got it, that's how I was transferring data to my phone. Also how I transferred the files needed to root my device onto my device.Used Stock, Hyperdrive and Beanstown ROM and they all varied from MJ7 to MJE and they all had MTP just fine. I believe all Samsung phones have MTP built in. How else would they expect us to plug the device into our PCs.

EDIT: I know I enable "Developer Options" on my phone by going into the "About" settings and tapping build number about 7 times or so. Then went into Developer Options and enabled "USB Debugging". That might be it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Frank Westlake:
Yes, you are correct. When I got the Note 3 I was on Windows and did not use MTP because I could not access the files with any program, only File Explorer used MTP. After I switched to Linux I was not able to use MTP until I applied the method here, so maybe this is only useful on Linux.

What I really want is UMS enabled.

[LG Optimus G Pro] iamVhox:
So I tried to search for a way to unlock this device bootloader but it seems impossible as of now, rather there's a workaround to flash a custom rom even though it's locked thru freegee's CWM with loki exploit. Reading the thread at E988 v5 rom, some users are having problem as to what particular version of the said CWM to use for that rom to work on their device, some just boot back to recovery after the process while others are having some issues when others said it's perfect. Now, if there's somebody out there generous enough to share their idea as how to do it, please help us F240L users,we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Happy new year!
[LG Optimus G Pro] iamVhox:
Freegee's CWM 6.0.4.5 for F240L!

Ok, so I asked one F240L user here, stfly, and he confirmed that it worked on his device!

1. Install freegee's CWM 6.0.4.5

2. Reboot to recovery using halo reboot

3. Backup current rom and copy to another storage

4. Wipe system then install the rom followed by the baseband

5. Do factory reset and reboot system

Hope this will answer our doubts F240L users!
[LG Optimus G Pro] iamVhox:
Successful flashing!

Ok...so I just want to share this...following above procedure it worked very just fine with my F240L, no problem whatsoever. So don't hesitate at all, flash that E988 v5 rom now!

NATIVE FREE TETHERING FROM THE HOTSPOT SETTINGS WORKS 60$ UNLIMITED plan ON- - ->

AOKP CM11 PARANOID ANDROID ONLY !

"Not stock ROMs ",Unless you pay for hotspots 40$ OR 50$ Plan .

I wanted to make one conclusion for those that "Mainly use metro PCs and want to get free tether on the 60$,unlimited plan .In which you can't tether under 60$,plan its blocked unless you pay for it .

T-Mobile plans not sure there are some bypass tricks out there and treve mod tether apk that work and some that don't ...Its tricky business .

This is all due to integrated tether upsell apk. When you try to tether to anything on stock ROM and your data plan isn't provisioned for tethering another words

"Your not paying extra " when you try to tether the upsell apk triggers and it wants to check to see of your plan is provisioned for tethering. If not FAIL if so you can tether the amount your allowed .

These are ways metro has figured how to block tethering .. Same for tmobile ..But metro particularly is hard to get around .

This also applies to T-Mobile devices in a sense .

THE FIX...any aokp cm11 or paranoid ROM should work

It doesn't trigger any upsell apk or include the framework and crap that blocks this .

Has to do with using a Aokp cm11 Roms that are pure android debloated.

I've tried many fixes and bypass attempts with metro and its hard with the stock ROM to tether on

"Any of there devices Period".Unless you pay for it.

THESE ROMS ARE ONLY MAINLY AVAILABLE FOR GALAXY DEVICES ON METRO .

Lg and such won't have original development ROMs made

Metro PCs phones usually gets the development shaft !!!Sorry guys!

The reason we get any love at all is only cause our s4,mega and s3 are compatible and almost same devices as tmobiles devices .

Flash the aokp ROM cm11 specific made for your metro pcs phone ,and tether away using the built in tether under Menu/ settings /more /tether hotspot .

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] joe1blue:
Wow very thankful for the information I was planning to root and apply the free tethering apk lol I would have been scratching my head for hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Wingnut79:
caution urged

Be careful with your upsale workaround, I do believe metro has wormed in provisions in it's service contract that allows them to not only shut off your service but block your IMED number from ever being activated on the network again if you're caught bypassing their paid tethering app. Personally, I feel it's very poor sport to not allow those willing to pay the extra ten bucks for tethering to pay the additional ten bucks for unlimited data. "You can either have one or the other" is B.S. ESPECIALLY considering I was billed for both for approximately three months yet didn't receive unlimited data, and when I caught it, customer non-service made great attempt to charge me ANOTHER ten bucks to take one of the services OFF my plan. As for the money I paid for a service I didn't receive...... gone.

Another serious issue I have with metro is data speed on it's "4G LTE" network where I'm at. A block away from the tower, line of sight with no obstructions, my max download speed EVER has been 2 mbps. Generally it's around 70 kbps. i've filed a complaint with the FCC.... though I don't have much faith in anything being done about it. Nothing but a bunch of corporate crooks......

The phone works fine,but now i cannot go back to stock anymore in order get the OTA,it returns a error everytime i try to flash it,officialy or not.

There is no root or recovery to be able to change anything so im kinda stuck...Any suggestions from people with more knowledge would be really helpful.

I can flash only K firmwares now...without giving me errors.Tried to flash a 4.2.2 K firmware tho,but it was stuck at boot,after flahsing it.

Hello and Happy holidays to all , I am currently on 4.2.1 stock rooted . Do I fxz back to stock and get ota then root , or is there some other steps I have to take. I am reading and hearing that My boot loader will get locked or I wont receive update phone will say it has been modified.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
If you take the official OTA you will definitely get a locked bootloader, and lose root. Root may be possible down the road but there are no guarantees.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Foots:
My question is I think I want to jump to 4.3, but I'm not sure how. I am stock rooted with locked bootloader. I'm still on 4.1.1 with VRALJB. I was always satisfied with the stock rom so never saw the point in unlocking the bootloader. What is the easiest way for me to update since I'm really not interested in root access anymore?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geekcop:
My question is why would you want to go the VZW 4.3 OTA? As previously mentioned, you'll lose root access, end up with a locked bootloader,and likely get a bunch of bloatware. There's plenty of 4.3 custom ROMs out there that will do much more for your device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kkemp31:
I dont want that. I'm new to the note 2. I've been on moto phones with locked bootloaders. So I've not had to worry bout locking down my bootloader until now. Ive rooted my note 2 and installed roms on it. Im just trying to find a update that I can use with out installing a rom in order to get to 4.3 1.

I've never used odin and don't have access to a computer right now. In starting to think that i can't get to 4.3.1 with out a computer. Was just hoping I could use twrp to flash a mod version of the update to get there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
So far I have not seen any reference to a recovery flashable firmware file...odin only. That said, with a computer, odin is really easy to use so when you get to a PC you can do it in about 3 minutes.

So can I just do the mod update and not have to install the rom or it a package deal ? Just asking cuz with the razor all I had to do was the update .

Hello,

When I charge my Nexus 5, the battery icon keeps on showing it is charging even so the battery is at 100%. Also my USB charger (not the one LG one) indicates that the device is still charging. Is this normal ? Would this damage the battery ?

Thanks

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
I understand what you're saying but it's not a charging icon, it's a connected to power icon. If you were to use something like the dashclock extension it would show that it actually stopped charging once it reached 100%
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarat:
Thanks for the reply.

The thing is that I have this charger http://www.portablepowersupplies.co.uk/portapow-quad-usb-mains-charger/) and the LED indicates charging (albeit I did not measure the current ;) ).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
Nice unit!

Are you connected to WiFi while charging? I had the really bad battery drain issue while connected to WiFi after the 4.4.2 update. I lost about 30% of charge after 4ish hours while connected. Currently I'm at 92% after 3 hours.

The WiFi battery drain could be causing your phone to not fully charge or at the very least make your charger THINK it's not fully charged. No harm should come of it either way but it's always best to pull your phone off the charger once it gets to 99-100%
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rarat:
Thanks for the reply. I had Wifi activated; it might be the reason.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devhux:
My wireless charger LED didn't shut off when my N5 was charged in a powered off state. Usually it does once the battery is full.

That said, I don't think it's over-charging the battery, as that would be really bad
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria807:
Don't worry about it. This isn't the 2000s where constant charging is an issue.

Just tried with the Wifi Off. My USB charger then indicates that the unit is not charging.

Thanks for the replies and great help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
Don't worry about it. The charger isn't the thing that determines how charging is handled, it's all done on the phone side. The phone knows how to take and stop taking power.

In the case of the Nexus 5, it most-likely stops charging the battery but continues using the power from the charger to actually power the unit (thereby no-longer using the battery to run the device, but not charging it any longer).

Hi guys! Fist of all: Merry XMas to everyone ;)

I'm now posting here for the first time. My employer gave me a KFHD 7 for xmas, and now i'm looking to turn this device's os into a good Android version (just found Pacman :D )

The problem is that, obviously, now my device has Amazon OS v7.4.6.

Following this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909) to get my device ready to be flashed, i read that is proper to start with a device with v7.2.3.

Ok... i get back and found this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1951254

Just before to buy a factory cable on ebay to downgrade my KFHD, i want to ask you about some thoughts i have:

To downgrade to 7.2.3, do i need a rooted device? And how can i root my KFHD 7.4.6?

Reading first guide, seems not too hard to get Android on my KFHD, i learned that the process is:

Install on my PC Android SDK, in order to be able to run fastboot & ADB commands

Root the device

Install Bootloader & TWRP

Flash choosen rom

Is that the correct procedure?

Buying a factory cable, i'll be able to recover any kind of brick?

What is the difference between Official and Unofficials ROMs?

Just to ask you ( :D ): wich kind of rom do you advice as the more stable, eyecandy and usefull, based on 4.3? Do you think the PACman can be a good choice?

Thanks a lot, i'm new in this world, i would like to use my KF with a more flexible and usefull OS than the Amazon's one, but i'm a bit confused reading all the guides here :D

Once again: Merry XMAS!
