[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy48065:
(on Net10) On the road I can usually get a browser to open but not much else seems to work the way it should. Navigation, Places, Latitude can't seem to determine my location, or find anything I search for, using towers. If I enable GPS I get my exact location but still can't find destinations (searching...goes on forever). Voice searches always end with "Connection problem". These problems occur whether I'm showing 4 bars of H+, or anything less. In other words--always.

If I'm in a place with wi-fi then all works fine and without hesitation.

No problems with calls, SMS, or MMS.

Can someone please clue me in to the different types of wireless data so I can understand what's not working?

Error msg from Google maps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy48065:
An update for future Google visitors: It's taken me lots of time and many calls to the mostly-inept reps at Net10 to get to the bottom of my strange on-road data behavior. I still don't have an answer to my question about

different "types" of data but after a full day of .08Mbps dl speeds I made yet another call and it was finally discovered that when Net10 ported my phone number the rep created a new account for it. When I called to register it it was incorrectly provisioned.

The many calls to Net10 where I was constantly assured "my account" is properly set up was a waste of time--they were looking at the wrong account.

This hopefully is rare so might not be any use to anyone but don't give up bugging them till you get the performance you were promised.

I installed latest orange ROM and observed (other than MSFP)

NICE THINGS

* UI is very nice which shows everything on the desktop screen

* It has PVplayer builtin to run movies including 3gp in full screen mode

* contact management has built in seperate voice dialing icon

* ownname, Date and operator name is shown by default on desktop screen.

* Very stable despite of heavy installations on 2GB card

BAD THINGS

* No A2DP

* very slow in responding especially after power on
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Tuningszocske:
I tried it too and I found it very slow compare to the i-mate new ROM. So I'm using this now (i-mate)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] diggy:
Is PVplayer in the extended ROM

First upgrade was to the iMate test ROM. Fast but was only test so still had issues

Next upgrade was to all new Orange ROM I have an M5000 so this seemed sensible. Still better than original but radio version was only 1.03

This upgrade lasted about 3 days then kept ROM just updated radio to 1.09 due to call and signal issues.

I was using this ROM like this for about a week. I nearly threw it out the car window several times. I rang my phone on 2 occasions and watched it do nothing. Twice I waited 30 seconds until it hit my voicemail still no ringing.

I have now done my last (I hope) upgrade to the iMate 1.30.76 ship ROM. This seems so much faster and to date it has not managed to test my patience.

Does anyone now if PVplayer is in the Orange extended ROM if not any one no where I can get it?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] pierrelp1:
Yes PVPlayer is in the Orange extended Rom

Fourth .cab file when unlock the extended Rom it starts by

MP-Shortcut-MMS1-JAVA5XX-CV-VOICE-PVPLAYER

PVplayer

Thank you. Luckily before I bombed off the Orange ROM I unlocked the extended ROM and then backed it up.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talboy:
HI all,

I have just bought an open box nexus 10 which means its new but has been opened and apparently been tested to be working. the company i bought it off say they tested it working before sending it out to me..

I got it today and started it, it loaded fine then asked for me google details and wifi..

Once done it loaded fine and i was on the home screen, it then rebooted itself and then since then it has not been able to reboot, it says the white google then some colours start to come in from the sides and it reboots again..

I have tried to go into recovery and factory reset both cache and data but that didnt work..

I am just trying the nexus toolkit now but i have no idea of which version of android it is actually running right now or have any idea if USB debugging is activated but i assume it isnt as i have not had a chance to do it..

Any help would be greatly appreciated, i dont really want to return it as it is from a friends company and i got it at cost price and he has no stock left!

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Do the colors make 4 circles and twirl around in a circle? If so your on KitKat. If it names an x shape your on jelly bean. Just use the toolkit select the version your on. I'm guessing your on 4.4 or 4.4.2 KitKat. Then select flash back to stock or whatever the option is. IRS all the way on the right.

Please press the thanks button if I help you.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talboy:
I have managed to go through one full cycle of trying to flash the 4.4.2 from the toolkit but it says failed remote - locked use fastboot oem unlock. then after that it simply says booting up your freshly flashed device...

But if i try to reboot it does the same thing, problem i am having is that the bootloop doesnt even allow the colours to merge from the sides it reboots even before they meet in the middle of the screen??

ANy idea what to do now?

ps thanks for the reply!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
OK. Open up the folder with the downloaded factory image from the toolkit. You'll find it under data/factory images I think in the toolkit files. Extract it. Are you familiar with adb? Because you'll need it. Copy the system, userdata, boot, and recovery images that we just extracted and paste them in the data folder. From there (I'm assuming you use windows) open a command window by holding shift and right clicking and you'll see the option. After that type "fastboot devices" then enter without the quotations and you should see you're device listed. (It needs to be connected in fast boot mode via USB cable). From there you need to use the commands "fastboot flash system system.img" repeat this with the boot, recovery, and userdata. But replace the system and system.img with the appropriate word fur example "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without quotes. That is a manual way of resetting. it should fix any soft ware issues. If that Durant work it might be a hard ware problem b and you might need to return it but in pretty sure it should.

Good luck and of you need any help or explanations just ask.

Please press the thanks button if I help you.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talboy:
Massive thanks for this explanation..

I am not sure what ADB is? do i need to have any specific software or do i simply follow the instructios that you have given?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
Just follow the instructions. Normally you'd need to download a package but that comes with the wug tool kit so your all ready to go.

Also If you want to unlock the bootloader beforehand type in "fastboot oem unlock" it'll make it easier if you ever want to flash a custom rom or recovery later because it wipes all your days and since you have no data you might as well do it now. But if your not interested in ROM then don't bother.

Also please press thee thanks Button if it helps. Thanks

ok flashed all of the .img resterted it and now it just says google on the screen with an unlocked padlock at the bottom, been like that for 30 secs so far, seems to have done somehting as previously it was just going into the animation and restarting..

Should i be doing a factory reset?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
If it shows the Google image then there's a kernel so the boot image was successful but if it doesn't go past it means you have no ROM so the system flash must have failed. Terry flashing system again. Sorry for the late response

Please press the thanks button if I help you.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talboy:
no problem thanks for the help so far!! just reflashed system this time it it is coming up with the google sign and unlocked pad and its doing the same as before now...

its just starting the animation for a milisec then rebooting...

any idea?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abdel12345:
I'm not sure why it isn't working:confused:

Well now that your boot loader is unlocked you can try the toolkit again and see of it works. Use the option that says factory reset or unbrick or whatever it says and choose stuck in bootloop. Then follow the instructions if that v doesn't work is recommend locking the bootloader using "fastboot oem lock" and trying to return it.

Or you could wait a little and see if someo else has ideas. Try the toolkit again first though

Please press the thanks button if I help you.

thanks man you have been super helpful an di appreciate it a lot, hopefully it starts to work if not at least we gave it a chance.

Ok, this is driving me nuts. I cannot perform a VPN connection using WIFI, but it works fine with GPRS. So, the VPN server is fine.

Whenever I do an activesync, or click the link to connect my VPN server... it says "Connecting to <VPN server>"... and then after a few seconds, nothing! No error message.

Am I missing something here? How can I troubleshoot this problem?

I am using Pocket PC 2003
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ckiddo74:
Fixed it!

Ok, so I was wrong: there is no error message because it does connect to the VPN server - except that it disconnects after 2 seconds.

I was using the latest T-Mobile ROM 1.42, and so I downgraded to Orange 1.40: same problem... and finally... back to... 1.31!

And it works! The VPN is stable, and works as expected.

Has anyone been able to use a VPN connection using ROM 1.40 or 1.42?

Hello to every one, I purchased LG G2 2 weeks ago and i can say there is also and not also issue withe the touch screen.

2> When i remove the screen guard then on bed or in hand the screen use to respond properly and efficiently.

Any suggestion will be helpful to me and others also.

HooToo® HT-UH010 7-Port USB 3.0 HUB with 2 Smart Charging Ports

Manufacturer Description

Smart Charging Port Adavantage: 2 smart charging ports provide full-speed and sufficient powers to charge all Apple and Android smartphones, tablets and other USB charged devices with a 5V charge input. The iPod nano and some GPS and Bluetooth devices are not supported.

Massive expansion, provide 7 USB 3.0 ports for home and work users

Premium 12V/5A AC power adapter makes full use of all 9 ports

LED indicators for each USB 3.0 ports and power supply. 18 Months Warranty.

Plug and play. Supports hot-swap function and no driver needed. Built-in current protection system effectively protects hub and connected devices from electronically accident.

Size

Length - 5.71 inches

Width - 1.73 inches

Height - 0.91 inches

I'm sure a lot of you guys are like me and probably have a charger and a usb hub on your desk/table/workstation. Everytime I used to look at my usb hub, I used to get so frustrated that it only had 0.5 amps for charging and that simply didn't cut it with most phones/tablets. Now comes this handy little savior of a device and it combines a usb 3.0 hub and a 2 port charger.

There are 7 usb data ports each numbered and 2 charging ports (a 1 amp port and a 2.1 amp port). So it can charge most devices under the sun.

Build Quality

It's made out of plastic, lightweight but not flimsy. Does not bend or creek that I've noticed when trying to flex it. Seems like a good well built usb hub.

The number on each data port lights up when being used. While the Charging port has no light notification that its being used.

It is to note that t does slip around a bit. This is because the bottom doesn't have any anti-slip feet or rubber pads at the bottom. Easy fix for as you can get them for a few bucks on amazon or ebay.

Performance

I won't talk too much about the usb 3.0 read and write speeds; But I was able to get:

on a slower usb 3.0 usb drive:

21 mb/s write

31 mb/s read

the fastest USB 3.0 drive I had:

45 mb/s write

153 mb/s read

so its safe to say that the usb 3.0 hub works well with data transfers. The speeds will mostly depend on your peripheral you're using

The ports were able to charge an array of devices. Different combinations of the following were able to be charged with no problem:

Nexus 5

Nexus 7 2013

Ipad 2

Ipad 4

Sansa Clip+ mp3 player

Galaxy S3

Galaxy S2

Conclusion

For what this little gadget does I think it's a no brainer to have for us tech geeks. Small, functional and multi-purpose.

Hi All,

I'm in a critical situation. I was using Catch notes for few of my personal data until today, unaware of the fact that it is no longer supported. I mistyped my passcode, and ever since it wont allow me inside and access my notes. i tried searching through individual folders, just in case the notes are in plain text. No Luck!!! As per other xda user, i checked in the folder Android/data/com.threebananas, still found nothing.

I terribly need the information. So I'm thinking of breaking the app and try by passing the passcode/password check. i know this puts a moral question. But based on my situation I'm convincing myself saying its ok, as it is no longer supported!!! and nobody will be impacted, expect myself and of course I need the data.

I have little experience in trying to look through software/apps and tweak them for my necessity, with little success. Now I'm not even sure if this break-in is possible. I'm totally out of date with respect to these kind of stuff. So any help ANY HELP will be very much appreciated.

(3) untar the backup.tar & locate notes_pad.db

(4) uninstall & reinstall the "Catch" app

(5) back up the data from the newly installed app

(6) unpack the backup file

(7) open the backup.tar (do not untar; just open it), and replace the notes_pad.db with the original one (should be in backup folder)

(8) pack the backup file

% java -jar abe.jar pack backup.tar backup.ab

(9) restore the data

% adb restore backup.ab

Hi,

I lost my phone. I forgot to note down the IMEI number. However i took TWRP backup of EFS Partition. I can open the EFS partition file through winzip software in my computer and see various files (like nv_data.bin etc). I want to find out the IMEI number from the backup, so that i can request the mobile tracking agencies to help me out to recover the lost mobile.

The only reason I come to XDA any more is to check back, in anticipation, that there is a new section for the 1520. Since I traded my GS3 for a 1520, I seem to be spending all my time at "other" websites.

I was annoyed at first by not having a 1520 section, but I am liking the other forums and community. Same WP information I could be getting here, but more colorful layout and less haters. I figure XDA just has too much revenue and wants to give some of those ad-click stats away.
