re: phone issues

It looks like your phone is really messed up, the fastest, best and easiest way

to get rid of all your issues is:

#1: Make a nandroid backup of your rom.

#2: Find and download the official STOCK 4.3 or 4.2.2 Jellybean Odin flash firmware.

#3: If your baseband is MDL you will need the 4.2.2 official Tmobile M919 odin flash Jellybean rom.

#4: If your baseband is MK2 then you will need the 4.3 official Tmobile M919 odin flash Jellybean rom.

#5: Either way just make 100% sure that the firmware/rom is specific to your phone's model and baseband.

Once you have the right firmware/rom TAR file flash it using ODIN in PDA slot/tab.

Good luck getting any email help about your phone issue. LOL
[AOKP Feature Development] SecUpwN:
Dear Developers of AOKP,

first of all: Thank you so much for this awesome ROM which I am using since 3 years by now! Since security has been in the media periodically for quite some time now, I feel like this is the right time to ask: Would you please harden AOKP to include the very latest security enhancements? What bothers me in particular is that it seems even though so much development is being done, vulnerabilities like Mempodroid still seem to be present in the latest builds (using AOKP 4.4.2 for M7UL). A good way to check this is to use the X-RAY Security Scanner. Please fix these vulnerabilities.

Furthermore, would you please implement a feature to toggle hardening like triggered with the app SecDroid? This neat little project unfortunately has been abandoned, but yet the idea should be clear. The developer of SecDroid also released a Guide on how to harden Android. Maybe AOKP can use the Source of SecDroid somehow?

For me, AOKP always will be the best ROM out there. I can proudly say that having donated to the project makes me feel great and I'm looking foward to see AOKP implementing the latest and greatest security enhancements out there. Thank you ahead!
[AOKP Feature Development] BytecodeMe:
A few of us are interested in this and we'll see what can be done :)
[AOKP Feature Development] SecUpwN:
Awesome! What are you planning to do?
[AOKP Feature Development] Romanbb:
Even if every vulnerability fix was included in source, (for now) it will still not be secured. Unless you compile your own builds with a different platform key, your builds will not be secure. This applies to nearly every AOSP-based custom ROM.

We've talked about it, and we might implement something for milestone releases. But security is a huge huge problem to take on with custom ROMs and there are a lot of heads to the dragon to take down :)
[AOKP Feature Development] SecUpwN:
True point. But I'm sure that folks who can add unicorn sparkles to a ROM will even discover and implement some really cool security enhancements & fixes for the already known vulnerabilities. ;) After all, this is a suggestion and to be seen without pressure. Waiting for your next awesome release for M7UL, [MENTION=2033984]Romanbb[/MENTION]! You're doing a great job!
[AOKP Feature Development] Romanbb:
For sure. I'm definitely not against security enhancements by any measure.
[AOKP Feature Development] pan.droid:
Why isn't it possible to create a tool that can repackage ROMs with custom keys, say, using a Windows computer or Xposed Framework?

Also, isn't Mempodroid what allows us to give apps SU permission?
[AOKP Feature Development] SecUpwN:
No. Mempodroid is an EXPLOIT and a vulnerability, please don't mistaken it with SuperSU.
[AOKP Feature Development] pan.droid:
Okay. Just so long as you don't *mistake* 'SU' with SuperSU=)

AOKP Kitkat Rom

The Android Open Kang Project (AOKP) team has released nightly builds for a number of Android running device which bring Android 4.4.2 KitKat update for these devices. One such build is also available for Sony Xperia Z, which runs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
[AOKP Feature Development] SecUpwN:
As you might have guessed, AOKP runs through all my veins. I'd probebly never use anything else, if not forced to. As soon as a new nightly is out, I'm using it. But what exactly is the AOKP team doing to make their build more secure?

One of the features that I'd LOVE to have would be encrypted calls between AOKP builds without having to be online or installing additional software. Would such be possible somehow?

i have the usa tmobile MDA and i just flashed my rom to the most recent I Mate rom. Now my GPRS wont connect. can someone please help me?!?!?!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Genesis3:
Yes. See the FAQ entry on Howard Forums - I wrote a piece on how to fix this. I am running the Imate ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lanrover:
Can you point a link to the download that you mention in the FAQ.

I have the updated ROM but unable to get the GPRS working for T-Mobile USA. Many thanks in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] j2tha82:
alright i got my GPRS back up and running.

i just added a new connection, called it T-MOBLE GPRS and set the access point to internet2.voicestream.com.

most people on this forum mention how this particular ROM seems to run faster, but i havent really noticed any performance increases yet
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Shep:
Possible help GPRS, etc

This might be of benefit to some with the GPRS trouble after update.

1. I did the Imate ROM update and had lots of trouble with GPRS MMS etc..

2. Didn't know how to fix so - I started over...

3. I installed the Qtek ROM and had the same connection issues.

4. Called T-Mobile - got a 3rd level tec and he suggested something I had not heard before. Now keep in mind that I had reset several times hard and soft. He had me go inot Comm and hit the phone icon - and turn it off and on. I am not sure exactly why - but it worked! His explanation was that since I was going back and forth between work and home that the phone (which is supposed to switch automatically didn't and) got locked somehow. I am pretty new to all of this but already did 3 ROM updates - so learning a lot.

5. Now all my connections work the way they are suppose to. Only ONE connection and that is wap.voicestream.com as it should be. My WiFi connection is blazingly fast! I am a happy camper - but I went around and around with this for about 2 days before getting a tec that gave me this advice.

Perhpas someone can tell me which is newer (better) the Qtek or the Imate ROM??

Thanks,

Shep
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] j2tha82:
ok i have searched all over howard forums and here about the GPRS settings for T-Mobile USA.

in one particualr post it mentions you have to set the appropriate access point for your type of internet service. Personally, i have the T-Mobile total internet for $29.99.

I have applied both of these setting as my access point

internet2.voicestream.com and wap.voicestream.com

both of these settings allowed me to connect to the GPRS network, so i guess my question is which setting should i be using????
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Genesis3:
T-Mobile is shipping all these devices with wap.voicestream.com, and has opened the ports for people on the "real" internet service using it.

If you use "internet2", you will have problems with MMS, since you can't send MMS through that AP. There are workarounds for this but they are messy. My recommendation is that you use wap.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i4GS:
Sorry, if this is asked already...

But I couldn't find any answers, You see, I'm planning on rooting using

Kingo, and installing SafeStrap to install stock android (Getting rid of TouchWiz ^_^!!!!)

But I want to know is it possible with these specs:

SELinux: Enforced

Build: MJ5

Note 3: N900A

AT&T

Thanks! , hopefully I will be able to mod this phone back and forth.

And if this has been asked before, sorry, again, I couldn't find it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carl1961:
same phone I have, I used kingo and safestrap, no problems, knox still ok never triped
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i4GS:
So, even if its SeLinux enforced I can install Safestrap safe and fine?

Sorry just making 100% sure.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i4GS:
So, Safestrap fine even with SELinux enforced? Interesting will try tomorrow. If not, Best buy, heh.

100% sure ? I just want to try to not fail at something.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
Safestrap does nothing to the kernel or the original stock ROM so it does not affect any of the secure features. It is similar to a dual boot on a PC.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmyhawk1983:
so im assuming everything went OK no problems .. i was looking to do the same but im on MJ5 att completely stock havent even tried to mess with this phone yet

your doing right to be cautious, less chance of messing up
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azz72:
Was it hard using kingo to root it..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
Kingo is just one click and it is done. Just download the program to your PC. Connect your phone and run the program. it tells you what you need to do and all that is, is to confirm a couple of phone responses.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jyazzie110:
Do you need to be connected to the Internet when you run kingo?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carl1961:
I think so, when it determines your phone it seems to download the needed file
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
The phone does not need the internet for Kingo. But the PC does and the phone must be connected to the PC.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i4GS:
I have rooted with kingo and tried the SafeStrap 1.6/7.0 , It was a great sucess! , i installed setCPU and Xposed Framework, XPOSED works FANTASTIC! Of course (created a backup of the stock rom first), I can't thank you guys enough!

MJ5 Rooted Kingoed and SafeStraped!

Now all i can't wait for is Cyanogenmod or AOSP ROM for HLTEATT Note 3 ^_^ I want stock Android !!

Hope you guys have a great day/night !! Again, thanks!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carl1961:
I think our SafeStrap is 3.71
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregko1980:
Are you aware of any efforts to port CyanogenMod or other high quality AOSP build to hlteatt? I tried the latest build of CM11 - see http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/90429-cm11-samsung-galaxy-note-3-att/, as the 'assert' command in it's install script specifically permits installing on AT&T variant of Note 3, but without much success. My other favorite - OmniROM, does not support Note 3 at all.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duhbanjopicker:
I have OmniRom on my Asus Tab and I love it. I wish we could have it on the Note 3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rukbat:
If you want to play with the stock ROM, I suggest that you restore the backup to one of the slots. Then make another backup before you do anything you're not sure of. If you mess anything up, just restore the last backup. If you really mess it up, you have the stock slot to boot from.

I don't think we can do that (yet). The ROM has to be a modification od Samsung's stock ROM. But I feel the same way you do. I'd love Cyanogen and a dozen other ROMs to play with. And one that's super fast and doesn't use much battery. I'm trying X-Note right now. It's fast according to both benchmarks. I'll give it a few days of settling to see how it does on battery.

Darkfang, i am guessing you are referring to the app panel. The only way i know for it to show is if it is set to pop up when, ie: dock phone, plug in headphones, usb storage. I never use it and dont know another way to make it pop up. You can find the setting for what i mentioned under settings-->general-->accessory.
[HTC Droid DNA] blkhrt13:
So, I've been trying to flash a kitkat ROM, and every single time, it fails. I've tried at least 2 different ROMs, including the new beanstalk and ose ROM. Both fail. I noticed that you have to flash with either cwm recovery or the latest version of twrp. Fails with both every time. Wtf!!! I don't understand! What an I going wrong??? I've read and read and read and can't figure it out
[HTC Droid DNA] GrzlyAdms:
Here's another recovery option. I haven't tried it yet, but it is based off the latest cwm so it should work for 4.4 based ROMs. It's getting good reviews so far.

[HTC One X+] hgn842001:
Hello ...

My AT&T HTC One X+ has just started to freeze up constantly and it seems to start with a short buzzing sound.

When it does this the screen/phone gets frozen and hot to touch with the display showing some white horizontal/vertical lines. If I had to guess I would say there is a short somewhere in the device but I have no idea where to start.

The phone was stock with latest official AT&T ROM when this started and now I have unlocked and loaded a custom ROM on it and it seems to have the same issue (Eelegancia 6.2.0).

Anybody pointers?

Thank you in advanced ...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctcx:
It seems that whenever I install application updates for my installed applications the ram, or internal storage is consumed, until the point that all is used and doesn't allow me to download more updates, nor install more applications. Moving some applications to SD just leads to the same result: the ram is eventually saturated again.

And it seems to happen either with stock rom and Cyanogenmod. I'm with CM right now.

What a friend did was uninstalling all apps, leave those really useful and avoiding updates at all, but I don't think that as a solution.

What can I do? Thanks.

Try using scripts like Cronmod to increase your internal memory by creating an ext partition in your SD card. That should solve it. Here is the link

What I tried to mean is, why are updates consuming always additional amounts of ram? Aren't they supposed to work by replacing old files with new ones?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackbox421:
First of all what your are talking about is storage, not RAM.

And in most of the cases it doesnt need more storage. The reason why it's consuming more is because it downloads the whole application and then replace the old apk. After a reboot you'll have your old amount of storage.

I carry a Siemens SX66 with an extended battery but I haven't been able to find a HARD CASE or even a SOFT CASE.

I am currently using the Krussel Flip Top case. It holds the phone together by holding it against the keyboard area. Due to the extended battery, the case is stretched out and wears at the tips.

Siemens SX66

Lion Battery

Extended Life Battery V3

I really wanted to get a soft holster style case so that I don't have to have a leather case on it or a hard case with a belt clip. I haven't been able to find one myself and was wondering if anyone out there has found one.

Please let me know! Thanks in Advance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Accessories] leek:
I use the same flip-top Krussel with my SX66 and a 3550 mAh battery, and it works fine. Most of the wear is at the top (PDA view) from stretching when closed, but even that wear is only noticable close-up. I use black shoe polish to keep it shiny and moist. I keep the SX66 in my pants pocket most of the time.

The flip-top Krussel comes with a holster belt clip (multidapt), but I don't use it. It is too hard to remove the clip. You must leave the clip and case on if you want to use it holster-style, and the SX66 may be damaged easily by bumping it. It spins around and gets in the way of compfortably holding the PDA in your palm.

You can attach the Krussel to your belt by undoing the inside buttons and slipping your belt under them. But then you must remove the phone from the case to use it.

I looked around for several cases, and this is the best I found which would work with the extended battery. I wanted a case which stayed attached to the phone, rather than a case which could get lost if you took the phone out of it. I also wanted it to fit in my pocket.

You might look at digital camera / mp3 player / walkman cases. Some have belt strap holes. They are generally the right size. But without being able to test them firsthand, it's hard to know which one has the right fit.

If it's just quickly answering the phone that you need, then a wireless BT headset might be better. Then you can certainly store the SX66 in a digital camera case, and attach it anywhere that's convenient and within range. Voice command software can be used to dial outgoing calls.

Hey,

i am currently galaxy S4 owner. I am interested in buying nexus 5 black 32GB model. If i order now, has the manufacturing improved with regards to microphone issue, speaker issue, and some buttons rattling? I am more concerned about microphone and speaker though. My friend has N5 and there is a microphone issue - no one can really understand him .

Also, any improvements over galaxy S4? I am using cutomized TW 4.3 UEML6 (got updated from samsung two days ago), so its pretty good so far. I just have storage issue with S4 and having snapdragon 600. battery life is medicore, i mean everything is debloated - no samsun crap, not much google crap except gmail and youtube and google settings. GPS + Location is always off. i pull 23 Hours on avg with 2 hrs 58 minutes on screen time. This is when almost everything is off, and usage is few youtube videos (10 minutes) HD, web surfing, texting, and 20-40 min HSPA+ calls.

Is it really worth switching?

I am not having loss going to N5, i mean i dont have to input extra money.

Note: I am a university student that commutes a lot : trains and buses. Also, my carrier uses HSPA+ AWS band (1700/2100) so i am not sure if that has any influence over the battery performance..

Thanks!

the battery life is not bad about the same as your s4 perhaps better with the location power savings android 4.4 brought. so if you got the money for it might aswell get the latest and greatest from google :)
