Wait for the new htc one as i guess it should've better battery..

I agree with the g2 it is horrible, skin wise inside but the look of the phone is good.coming from htc sense or touchwiz you wouldnt appreciate g2 unless with a custom rom..

Ive had htc one and swap it with g2 now im back with black htc one with a bigger capacity.64gb despite the fact that it is poor in battery category...now my htc one is already for sale as i am waiting for the new htc one+
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
If you buy a phone and use it right out of the box (w/o modification), get the G2.

If you buy a phone and intend to "rip" it apart then you can buy any phone, it just happens those Sammies seem always having huge ROM development at xda.

Note: if you want to mod, prepare to READ and READ and READ before doing anything. Also read ALL the issues that others have.

Hi buddy, i have had the HTC ONE, damn loved that device. The ONE is great for random tasks such as fb, videos etc.. In music its the best in class. I switched to the g2 i really like the g2.

What i miss from htc on.

Sound

Lowlight camera performenc

Build quality

Sense 5.5 my fav android skin, even better than the pure android.

What i dont miss

Buttons, damn thees to buttons were stupid placed

Battery life was horrible on the one

Stupidly slow at charging

Overall the g2 is a faster device, better performer in camera when its in good lightning

The pure android fits better on the g2 i think. One htc one pure android i think its useless, personal opinion htc one without sense is nothing.

Good luck

I actually have the Xperia Z1 and the camera is... Meh. My brother's phone took a very similar photos and only have 8 MP.

Even without the camera, the xperia Z1 ( at least for me) is a beautiful phone with a lot of issues inside. Some lag with stock rom, touchscreen issue, bad speakers sound...

Tomorrow maybe i will have the LG G2 ( i replaced the Xperia Z1 due to the touchscreen issue, 5 phones replaced and all with the same issue ) and i will tell you if the phone is better or worst than the Z1.

Wait for the new HTC M8(rumored name is the "One+'') to be announced. The new Snapdragon 805 has 4 Krait 450 cores and DX11.1 graphics powered by the new Adreno 420 GPU. Tasty if I do say so myself...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
Bonjour OP! I agree with what Koopa says. It looks like waiting could be it. However if you need/want a phone right now my advice is buy a phone cor what functionality best suits you. I have the G2. My wife has the HTC One. In my case Im more tech savvy. I like to root, optimize, and tweak as I see fit. The G2 fits as it has the latest/greatest processor etc... The HTC one is a beautiful device but its in my opinion more geared to multimedia users. The sense UI is very socially centered and the audio experience (without headphones) is superb. To me its the perfect phone for those that love media and interactivity of apps with social functions. Sense makes it all tie in nice. Im absolutely jealous of the HTC remote software that has a full program guide for whats on tv. It makes the G2 infrared remote look bad.

All that said do not underestimate those same functions on the G2. It may not have beats audio, but it capable of much better audio playback than the One. The screen is larger on the G2, and frankly better... marginally. For video out... G2 wins. Where the One utilizes MHL for 720p output, and only upscales to 1080... the G2 can use slimport and has can support true 1080 native playback. The G2 multimedia wise beats the HTC one hands down in more ways than these... the differencein using those functions rests on the user interface for each phone. As far as UI goes... HTC with sense is easier and more intuitive. It flows better and its good for those who need more of a dumbed down phone but still want a great media experince.

The G2 does ALL the functionality better, and is capable of far more than the One. It just isnt as pretty or intuitive. However spend about a week with the G2 and you wont care about it not being intuitive.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higgins12:
If you love a huge bezel free Scrren, then surely go with the G2 if it doesn't matter much to you go with the HTC One. From features and speed they don't differ much + HTC (might) be faster with OS Updates, if that's what matters to you. The Camera in both Phones isnt the greatest, the G2 one is kinda slow for my liking but I'm more the DSLR type anyway.

Just stay away from the Z1 unless you want be stuck with bad viewing angels.

I owned all 3 Phones and would put the HTC One and the G2 almost on the same level.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
I have had the HTC one since it came out. I bought the G2 a couple of weeks ago as I was getting bored of the one. I found the g2 to be rather laggy and made me realise how smooth the one is. The one is the smoothest Android in existence. I read reviews saying the camera is great on the G2 but I found it quite dissapointing.unless you take very well lit pictures outside, zooming in to crop makes things look like they have been painted. I think the one produces better results even with it's 4mp camera.

I found the battery to be superb on The G2, I can get 5 hours screen on and 3 hours on the one.

I've decided to go back to the one and put my white 32gb white g2 up for sale. Pm me if you've interested!

Enjoy whatever you get :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheiPhoneKiller:
apart from the waterproofing and premium build on the z1 having played around with the misses g2 ,the g2 is better so thats why i recently got one to,the camera on z1 was suppose to be amazing but in truth g2 has better quility,more natural colours,even xperia T has better camera than z1 from xperiance and its not much faster than T either only in benchmarks,htc,nice device but camera lets it down a bit,G2 is the one to go for
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inyrfacebiatchh:
Thank you very much all, i've tested the Z1 in a store just 30 seconds, and i was blufed by the smooth of the phone, the G2 and the One aren't available for testing.. I don't open a game or other, just open the browser (Google Chrome) and scroll into the homescreen, this is very fast, but i love Sense and i don't want wait 3 months for the new HTC.. The G2 is not very beautiful, so i pass on this phone. The Z1 have many problems (reviews from buyers), so, it's better i go on the HTC One who is a great value or the Z1 ? If i buy the One, will i have Sense 6.0 with ROM Cutom or Official updates ?

You have convainced me for go on the HTC One, but only if i will have Sense 6.0, because i don't want to wait 3 months, thank you all :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fox_Soul:
you could test if the Xperia Z1 have the touchscreen issue... I can tell you that the touchscreen issue is too much frustrating ( if you have a lock pattern you will kill the Z1 in 3 days )

Buy an HTC One is buy an old phone. Buy G2 and if you dont like the look you always can buy a case.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inyrfacebiatchh:
I think i pass on the Z1 i don't want a phone which is have a problem every 10 minutes.. Yes i also think the One is too old now, so i will go on a G2 because he is a new phone and he was elected "phone of the year 2013" so i think he is good. But i think i will miss Sense.. Not a big problem because i will put a ROM :) Thank you !

Hello guys,

I am new here not too familiar with all this stuff but i can handle them, the last two days i am trying to root my phone with doomlord's tool kit but no luck, i have tried everything but in the command window it stuck in the first commands

"--- STARTING ----

--- WAITING FOR DEVICE

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *"

Then in i go and see my running programms i see 2 adb.exe if i delete the one who "works" the most i get the error, "error: More than one device or emulator" and if i delete the other .exe(A little observation: i think that 2nd adb.exe it's not stable it stops and it beggins again and again) i get the error "error: Device offiline" Despite my phone's build number says .587 it's .562

Do you have any idea what is wrong?

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokerman:
your phone is connected and with usb debugging on? use the tool and wait a bit..it should reboot itself and then its rooted....but at this time why you dont unlock your bootloader?;)

that way you can flash custom kernel and custom roms easier..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Do you have Flashtool or any other Android-related app running in the background? If yes, close it.

Also, questions must be posted in Q&A.

No nothing is running in the back. Is it normal that a 2nd adb.exe runs too?

This issue happens when one instance of adb.exe is already running.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baher4ever:
I purchased my mobile from Egypt with the country set to Egypt and software 4.1.1, before my one year warranty expired my phone suddenly restarted and never started again. I sent to the local warranty and they said it needed motherboard replace. They replaced the motherboard and everything was fine. My phone after receiving it had the United Arab Emirates as the country and the android version 4.1.2. The phone was okay till I received the OTA 4.3 update. After updating my phone I got "not registered to network"message and lost my IMEI to be a dummy number. I sent back to the official service shop and after 3 days they said it need a motherboard replace. This time they will charge me for this. !!!!

Can you please recommend what to do and how to deal with this case?

Don't the official local Samsung service shop have the equipment to restore back my IMEI ?

I don't have efs backup simply because I never changed the stock ROM

I feel they are not speaking the truth and trying to charge me for nothing

Hi folks,

I was interested in upgrading to WM5.0 from WM2003 on my SPV M2000 (=XDA 2???I'm told it's a blue angel...). However since I've come here i've got the impression that it could be riddled with problems. I'm a total n00b and I've been overwhelmed with different ROM versions and fixes....I wondered if you folks could help me a bit.

Is it worthwhile to upgrade? What has your experience been?

Will old WM2003 programs work on WM5.0 (I have loads of them)

Are there any bugs I should know about or will everything run smooth?

What are the disadvantages?

How do I go about upgrading? I upgraded my ROM once before using an update released by Orange. But the .exe file did it all for me. All I had to do was connect the device via the cradle and click next (pretty much).

Cheers folks! Much appreciated.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bluetba:
Like you I also have an SPV M2000 (yes it is also known as the Blue Angel), and I am still running WM2003, I have done a few ROM upgrades etc so have a very basic understanding but even so am still holding back on upgrading to WM5, my main reason is that my phone is for work, and so need it to be reliable. saying that it sounds like that they have done some fantastic work porting WM5 onto the Blue Angel and one day I look forward to running it (which may be very soon).

Sounds like to me though before making your decision you should read this..

And I REALLY hope you have read the Wiki page which is here...

As with any upgrade there is a chance you will turn your device into a brick, so you need to read thorugh all the previous posts, there is a search tool to allow you to search the forum (USE IT!), I am sure people here would love to help you but have a bit of respect and search the forum first, I expect every question you could think of has been answered before. :)

Somewhere there is a list of software that has been tested on WM5, cant be bothered to search for it, but I have seen a post on the forum somewhere!

EDIT:

Sorry didn't read the bottom part of you post, that will teach me!! :oops: Hope the links I have given you get you started though!!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] starik:
Dont bother with WM2005 yet. I tried it a month ago and found little glitches. Overall it was good, but eyecandy doesnt justify the upgrade. Speedwise it's the same.

Also, there's still not as many WM5 programs, as there are for WM2003. Old progs may have issues with WM5. For me that's reason enough to stick with WM2003, since I need stability.

If you hard reset your phone, install only progs that you really need AND use, you'll be amazed how quick and stable it'll be. Yes, BT and WiFi are flaky, but that happens right across the board on all OSes/ROMs.

PS. Avoid any crap that goes onto Today screen.

Google Now "okay google" voice command not working with GE launcher (Jellybeans ROM)

Last night I rooted my Verizon Galaxy Note 3 with the King application. Installed chainfire's SuperSU and then installed the latest Jellybeans 4.3 ROM.

After I installed lots of apps and changed my settings how I like I was looking at the Jellybeans OTA section and saw where you could download the zip for the 4.4 kitkat Google Experience launcher. I downloaded both it and the Google boot animation and flashed them with safestrap one at a time.

Both of these mods seem to be working just fine, except I can't seem to use the Google Now, "Okay, Google" voice command. Google Now itself works just fine by swiping to the left but whether I am on the home screen or actually in Google Now, when I say the keywords "Okay, Google" or just "Google" it doesn't do anything.

I tried going into the Google Settings where I saw the switch for Google Now was turned on. I went into the voice section and saw the option for "Hotword detection" was turned on.

I tried toggling these settings off and back on again with no apparent effect. In my general settings voice controls were turned off but turning them on didn't help either.

I was wondering if anyone here has had and similar problems getting the Google Now voice command to work using the Jellybeans ROM or if there is anything else I can try. When I had my stock build I could enter Google Now and say "Okay, Google" and it would start listening. I wanted to be able to use the command from the home screen. Now it appears I can't even do it from within Google Now. When I hit the voice search button I can still do that fine so I know the mic is working.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] londo:
My Motorola Atrix, (Android 2.3.7, CyanogenMod-7.2.0-olympus) seems to eat external SD cards.

What happens is as following - my previous SD card died, so I have a brand new external card. The PC reads it perfectly fine. I copy files there without any problem. The files are readable on a different PC, so everything works OK. Then I insert the card to the phone. The phone fails to mount the card, claiming that it is corrupt. At this point, PCs are also unable to read the card, and I need to format it. After I format it, the card works fine on PCs, but not on the phone.

I tried formatting it both to FAT32 and exFAT. "Erase SD card" from the Storage option doesn't help. Booting into recovery, and trying to format the card there gives me an error message (something generic, "error formatting card" or something like that), and the same practical results. Does it mean that I can't used sd cards anymore, or is there an idea on how to revive it?

And, if the reader is fried, then how can I make the camera, the music player, and some other programs to treat /mnt/emmc/ as a legitimate storage space? Both the camera and the music player refuse to work claiming that there is no sd-card.

Thank you all in advance.
