[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stedrocklp:
I am a big fan of the HTC One. I have used the S4 and although I like it, it didn't feel as good the One to me. The issue you face is the both the S4 and One are aging and HTC is working on the M8 and Samsung on the S5 respectively. To me the Moto X has very lackluster specs and not a phone I would look forward to owning. It is all about personal preference. Decide what factors mean the most to you and pull the trigger.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] storm007:
go for a Moto X

if size is a big bother, I suggest going for a Moto X...the hold and feel of it is superb!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amebiasis:
I've played with a few of the phones the Motorola X feels great, I also enjoyed the G2. If you can wait it out a few months the GS3 and HTC One version 2, and GS5 should be out soon you might consider.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyjumpman:
I like the g2 but it needs to be running a custom rom, cannot stand lg 's changes

I came from an s3 so the leap to the s4 isn't big enough for me

Love the construction of the one but seems like old news

It's hard to believe I'm saying this but go with the moto x. It feels a lot smaller in hand while still having a decent screen size. The specs are admittedly mid tier but every review I've read seems to indicate the experience transcends the specs. Super cheap right now too (even off contract), only $50 more than the n5
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneandroidnut:
do not i repeat DO NOT buy moto x. screen is awful!!! if you care about screen at all dont buy. htc one hands down. i personally dont think at that size point there is anything better. of course g2 has better specs but feels like crap in hand to me and those funky buttons on the back....pass. Htc one gets my vote that is why i am currently using htc one max over note 3 right now. feels better and ui and software is buttery smooth
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redjax:
Hey AJ! I'm going to tell you a quick story before answering your question, so if you just want the answer in my opinion, I'll answer it in the last sentence.

I upgraded from a Razr MAXX to the Note 3, switched to an iPhone for 5 days (hated it more than I expected to, I went in with an open mind), and came back to the Note. It was simply too big for me. I'm left handed, and it's a major pain to try and hit the back key when using it left handed, so I downloaded an Assistive Touch app similar to the one found on iPhone, but having a blob float around the screen just to hit back was also not a reasonable fix for me. I bought a Moto X for Christmas and used it for 3 weeks. I absolutely adored that phone, but the battery life just wasn't enough for me (it's great battery, but so far the Note 3 is the only one comparable to my old Razr). The features on the phone were amazing, and for its specs, performance was unbelievable; in fact, I really shouldn't even say "for its specs," because the phone was SERIOUSLY fast, very, very smooth, and all around a joy to use. I loved the phone, but decided to switch back to the Note because development for that phone is just not moving, and probably won't for a while because of how locked down it is.

Anyway, after coming back to the Note, I was searching through Xposed, and found the Gravity Box (GB) app. My issue with the Note 3's buttons being too hard to reach is remedied by the ability to set button actions through GB. There's an option to set a double tap action! So now when I double tap menu, it acts as the back key, and vice-versa for the back key. That completely fixed my issue, because now I can use the phone 1-handed, and it's perfect for me again.

So, TL;DR: Of all the phones you're looking to switch to, I can personally recommend the Moto X, if you don't mind that there is not much development, and not much prospective development either. But, if you want to stay with the Note, you can remedy some of the issues you have with the "too-big" screen with Xposed and a couple apps like Gravity Box, or an Assistive Touch app.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the input guys. I think I am leaning towards the G2. So I can turn it into a Verizon Nexus 5. With a better camera.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeighR:
It arrived today. Had a play and set it up as I wanted. Following the guides here, rooting took about 30 seconds (had to do it twice though) and I used flashify to flash the twrp zip. All super noob simple. No driver needed for me but I've had both LG P920 and Nexus 7 drivers installed already.

Issues so far:

Bleed - none.

Blue line - none.

Yellow hue - none.

SD card with TiBU etc - works perfectly.

Dim screen - no and in fact I set it to 60%. Full brightness is too bright.

Thin black border around screen - yes but how could it bother you?

Poor speakers - yes, they sound tinny/echoey below half volume. Fine above that. Think it's the aluminium back.

Battery drain - yes its quite fast. Set CPU to 1.1ghz and removed some bloatware its much better.

I'm sticking with the stock ROM for now. I'm familiar with the LG system and the apps are quite cool. TV remote works far better than those crappy 3-in-1 remotes from poundland.

Anyway, it seems to me that the screen issues have been resolved, at least with mine. I'm very happy with it. Any questions, fire away. Injustice is much nicer than on my phone.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bry5o:
What did app/software did you use to limit the cpu and cleanse bloatware?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeighR:
I used ROM toolbox and titanium backup. I like SetCPU cos you can set voltage levels with a custom kernel but I don't think one has been made for this device yet.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
As I mentioned in another thread for bleed there are 2 issues with this tablet. Traditional bleed which my latest tablet does not really exhibit, and edge light brightness. This is something only noticeable when brightness is at 20 and below. It is always on the bottom screen area in portrait mode and seems most visible on white background (i.e. white picture or browser page when turned into landscape to the button bar(when set to black theme) is not obscuring it. You will see about 7 bright white spots at the very bottom tablet in a row. I suspect this is a limitation of the used display technology. If you look at this video by another owner on youtube you will see what I am describing under the above conditions:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmiSEC3rbHI

Am curious if you have it.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeighR:
I do not
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Canadoc:
Hmmm now I am not sure what to do.

First one I bought was a white one. It had traditional light bleed in 2 corners and had this bottom edgelight issue at low brightness.

Returned it for a black one. This one is better in that it has no light bleed except the bottom edgelight issue. This occurs at brightness below 20-25. IT is not an issue during day time as I am needing brightness above 40 to comfortably enjoy the screen.

But for night time use I have to kepe the tablet a bit brighter than I prefer so as not to see it under some circumstances, I.e. landscape viewing.

I am trying to decide if it is worth returning as I love everything else about it. I am on vacation in the US and do not have the time to keep going back and forth to various best buy locations hoping for a better unit. Especially since seems the black model is in limited supply with nearest store 30 minutes away. However also given the exchange rate on my credit card, Returning it will likely cost me 20$ based on how the Credit card companies charge....

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith456:
what bloatware is installed on the tablet just curious ?

about to buy the tablet real soon, in regards to what you have said about battery can it last a day o more at least ?

does setting the cpu require root on this device ?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeighR:
Bloatware: Well I guess that's personal preference. Stuff I won't use is some LG stuff (home launcher, LG back up etc), live wallpapers, stock browser and video player, Google books, music, movies etc.

Tablet has no chance of 1 day battery life unless you aren't using it very much. It's not horrible though, I've had 3 hours constant use this morning and I'm at 50%. Screen is under 40% for night time use though.

Not sure if you need root to underclock. I always root every device so I've never checked. I guess theoretically you do not.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigeon3:
Hi Guys

My GT-I9100 S2 currently runs on the leaked firmware 4.1.2, baseband version is I9100XXLS6, build number is JZO54k.I9100XXLSJ and CSC is LS1(COA).

I'd like to fix the buggy wireless and frozen screen when locked hence I want to know if I can replace it with an official firmware from any other region? So that it can get updates from OTA or Kies?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigeon3:
Figured it out, flashed with the Hong Kong TGY official JB 4.1.2 firmware and managed to change the CSC code to TGY as well. It fixed the above two issues and I can now get updates via OTA and Kies.

I was able to make all xposed gravity box features work except for the statusbar shortcuts of quicksettings. No matter what i do the stock ones of sony always shows in statusbar instead of Gravity box ones (i would like to have torch shortcut).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aldo6:
Hello there, you need another module first for this to work.

1. Go to the Xposed Installer.

2. Enter the Downloads section.

3. Search for Xperia Flip Settings, download and install it.

4. Go to Modules and activate it.

AOSP Settings should now work. If this helps, hit the thanks button :D.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TWong1200:
Have an XT926 Maxx with an unlocked bootloader. I can wipe partitions and flash custom ROMs just fine. I can also fastboot back to stock images. But for some reason, I can't get past the boot animation. For example, on the stock rom, it'll display the 'DROID' image upon boot and play the 'DROID' sound but then suddenly freezes, then reboots (over and over again). I've gone into factory recovery and wiped data/cache and still have the same issue.

I've searched the forums and was not able to find anyone with the same issue.

Any suggestions? Am I screwed? Perfectly good phone otherwise!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
If all you're doing is wiping data/cache, there's a possiblity that there might be some bad data in there still. I would also format data, as this will get rid of everything. Wiping data doesn't always get rid of everything. If you are fastbooting stock ROMs, always FDR after you flash, prior to booting into OS. Also, since your BL is unlocked, you need to load up an aftermarket recovery like CWM or TWRP. None of the new ROMs will work on stock recovery.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TWong1200:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I know about the need for TWRP/CWR when flashing custom ROMs. I reverted back to stock recovery when I fastbooted the factory images. Using stock recovery, I wiped Data and Cache so not sure what you mean. What's FDR?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
FDR is Factory Data Reset. It's generally a good idea to boot back into recovery and FDR after fastbooting.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TWong1200:
Ah, yes....I've done that numerous times. Still will not boot. Is there a way to erase the partitions and rewrite them? Perhaps they're corrupted or something.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TWong1200:
I was, for some reason, able to get it to boot up once today. I was able to get to the 'Power off and Insert SIM' screen. After powering off, though, it would no longer fully boot into the OS. Still bootlooping.

Less than an hour later, i got it to boot up yet again. Not sure how, but it's booted up and now with my SIM installed. I know if I reboot, it'll happen again.

Anyone have a clue what it could be? Anything I can do before shutting it down that could help?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] smegma2004:
Quick question, I need to periodically send a contact via text message. I currently have an HTC and can send the contact as an mms. My wife's galaxy 3 will only send them as a .vcf file which needs to be imported in to the receivers contact list. This does me no good. Is it possible to send just the contact info, ie: name and number in the message like the HTC or does Samsung only allow the .vcf file? I plan to purchase a G4 in the next few weeks.

So I've been doing some poking around and I've come to love Google's full screen album art during music playback but I also now want to have a different wallpaper than my lock screen.

I'm on CM 11 and there is no option within to get what I want done

And while using apps like go ex locker I can get the separate wallpapers but then I lose the album art during playback

Tldr; is there a way to get a different wallpaper on lock and home screen while keeping full screen album art during playback?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] desihaxx0r4life:
So I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S4 and when I used sprint's new web based activation method I think it bricked my old phone (HTC EVO 4G LTE) in the process. It's amber light flashes when connected to a charger. Anyone know of an unbricking method?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Did you let it charge for awhile before trying to power it on? Usually the charging light will flash when the battery is very low. Leave it on the charger for awhile, then try to power it on. If it doesn't power on, connect your phone to a PC and see what the device type is once it's connected. I can't imagine how activating another phone could brick your EVO LTE:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] desihaxx0r4life:
Well the thing is I was running S-OFF and rooted on MeanBean. I actually turned it off after my S4 was activated so that I could sell it later, but now it won't turn on and when it's connected to a charger it's amber light flashes. I'll charge it overnight and see if anything changes. Probably going to have to use this method to unbrick if no changes after fully charging. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1940512
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] desihaxx0r4life:
So quick update. LOL so apparently if you don't charge the EVO 4G LTE and let it completely drain it'll do that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] pljwebb:
I need the help of the forum, I feel this could be a tricky problem to solve.

The other day I was given a new toy to play with, a Nokia digital pen (model SU-1B). It looks like it’s going to be a very useful tool for me but there’s a problem. It doesn’t like working with my MDA Vario.

I’ve done some reading and some testing and I’ve discovered that it works perfectly with phones like the Samsung D600 because they are Bluetooth “phones” but it wont work with my Vario because it’s not a phone but a “pda” according to it’s Bluetooth identity. It seems that Nokia, in it’s infinite wisdom, has limited the pen to operate with handsets that identify themselves as phones. So that means I have a problem.

I want to know if anyone here has any experience of using the SU-1B. How did you get it working?

I also have a theory that if I can change my Vario from saying that it’s a pda to saying that it’s a phone the problem might be solved. Is there a way of doing this, an application or a registry hack perhaps?

Help me XDA Developers, you’re my only hope!

[Firefox OS General] VenomMOD:
Based on my knowledge, the ZTE prelude 2/Whirl 2 has write protected software that makes it nearly impossible to root. I've seen people root it temporarily, but that's as far as they can get. So, that is most likely why you're getting such error.
