[Moto G General] SynUnlimited:
For those of you that can't receive MMS messages I have found a fix that worked for me at least and apparently others with various other phones.

I used the standard APN Settings that Straight Talk tells you to use:

Name: Straight Talk (or anything you want)

APN: tfdata

Port: 80

MMSC: http://mms-tf.net

MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com

MMS Port: 80

Everything else default.

The next part is what fixed it. Since I ported my number from Virgin Mobile to Straight Talk according to another thread I found on the Google Support Forums (http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/hangouts/IQGICsHMFHA[1-25-false]) that there can be a bad port and which you cannot receive MMS.

So since the standard Bring your Own Phone Sim card plackage I got from Walmart came with 2 AT&T sims (Micro and Full Sized) I cut down the full sized sim to be micro and then transferred my existing service to the new sim through Straight Talk's website. Then a few hours later I was able to receive MMS messages again.

It is also mentioned that waiting for the next bill payment period can also help fix MMS but I didn't want to wait another week to see if that would work when I could transfer in a few hours.

Hope this helps others that have had this issue.
[Moto G General] shanesxe:
Just to clarify...

The Moto G IS, in fact, flashable to Straight Talk?

Now is this the GSM or CDMA version?
[Moto G General] SynUnlimited:
All you need is a GSM Moto G and the Straight Talk sim card kit.
[Moto G General] shanesxe:
I don't have any interest in paying double for the same phone on a different tower. Now, as a last resort...I will.

After browsing the forums for a while I decided it was best to just start my own thread. Thanks for the info though!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ma$etas:
I am going to meet up with someone later today to buy ATT NOTE 3

how do i make sure its not a fake /clone

What do i check for..

Ive seen some phones that are clearly clones but i know there is others that are very almost exact copy but are not original

i dont want to have a very expensive mp3 player...

I am going to ask the seller to meet me at a ATT store: if he doesnt want to meet there then i know something is wrong..

I already checked the IMEI with ATT and they said phone is good and can connect service with them.

Also im obviously going to check to make sure the phone im buying comes with the exact IMEI on the back

but is there a way to check software wise like in settings, phone info??

all help is appreciated...

*MODS Sorry if i posted this in the wrong section but it is a question and this is the question section also i did a search already and could not find any good answers..**
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
Just go into settings and about phone and verify the baseband version. A real AT&T Note 3 will have either MI9 or MJ5. To my knowledge none of the clones or fakes have official versions.

From what I know go into camera mod and see if you can zoom in or out with the volume button.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ma$etas:
thanks to both of you that replied..

I met up with the person at a local att store..

I got there before the seller got there and ask one of the store reps if they could help me out with a deal i was about to do and help make sure that the phone was paid off not currently connected to any account and if he could prevent it from being blacklisted later...

When the seller got there , the store rep checked the imei made sure it was clean then verified with the person when he bought it..

and with the sellers permission went into the sellers account and found the NOTE 3 and placed a Comment/note on it saying HE was selling the phone to someone else

to prevent him from later calling and reporting it stolen.... Store rep was truly helpful and went out of his way to make sure i didnt have any issues later...

I made sure phone imei matched the box imei , made sure phone was good, not damaged etc...

all in all was a good deal.. $400 for it but selling my note 2 for $300
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfaega:
Glad everything went well. Most sellers would never take that kind of time to sell something. Hope you enjoy your new note 3.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ma$etas:
thanks Xfaega..

im going to connect it to Go phone Service which is the same service as ATT and includes the LTE service...

I just hope it does work everywhere i constantly travel..

It will be my first time using att service.. i have always had Sprint, TMobile , Verizon..

Hi

Can someone please tell me If I have the correct modem etc as I am still experiencing loss of data when my phone locks! Not sure if it is the modem or something else that causes my signal to go.

I loose signal 60% of the time when I lock my phone and I have searched everywhere on here and cannot find a solution. I updated my modem which improved slightly BUT I still am experiencing data loss when I go into lockscreen

I dont want to have to go back to original software but im beginning to9 give up with this issue and it leaves me with no other option

[Glass Q&A] jaxst3wart:
I'm using Google Glass with a few other people as we explore development. I have some private text messages and e-mails on my phone. I noticed that when I connected Glass to my phone, the text messages showed up in Glass. Does Google back up these text messages or share/save them in any other way? Can the other users see these messages? Or are they only displayed in glass when my phone is connected? Any ideas?
[Glass Q&A] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
AFAIK they are only stored on your timeline until you either delete them or they fall off at the way way end. Not sure of the card limit in the timeline, but I have messages and cards going back 2 weeks. That doesn't say a whole lot either, I just don't use it as much as others might. I certainly am not positive but my guess is they will fall off and diminish after some time. As far as other users being able to see the messages, the only way I can think of is by letting someone use your Glass, or to be demoing using screencast and you hover over the message.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidlosernoob:
I've gone through many screen protectors it's annoying. I had Xtremeguard, which ended up peeling off. I bought it again, in hopes of a different batch, but it kept peeling off! Then I tried Tech armor, which also peeled off! I have a crappy $2 white TPU case from eBay, but I'm thinking of buying the Ionic Guardian. (Please give me your opinion on this case, does it add any bulk? That's my main objective with cases) But the brands I'm considering to buy as a screen protector are SEIDIO, Spiget, iSmooth, Skinomi, Sir Lancelot (as a tampered glass, are these effective at all?) and Armorsuit. Oh, and I'm trying to stay under $30, Thanks for all the help!

The setup I use comes in at around £10 pounds (u.k) I like to do things on the cheap.

It includes a cheap tempted glass screen protector and a good quality case for the price.

You need a case that covers the phones edge to stop your fingers catching the sharp edge of the glass screen protector it also helps to keep it flush and stops dust/dirt getting under the glass.

Sorry its took a while just seen the post.

The screen savour doesn't lift because its a smaller diameter then the screen by a good 3 mm . That's why a case that comes to the edge of the screen is really needed but when on with the case it looks o.k. . If I can find a decent camera I will post a few shots if you haven't already got yours.

I want to build an app that requires me to store and remember locations. I'm not sure if it's possible to remember and distinguish between different Wifi but that would be ideal. I am confused about how to start this and where to go. I read the Android guide on developer.andoird.com. Few question:

1)Firstly when I get the location what do I exactly store/remember?

2)Should I create a database like SQLite to store this information or are there other practices for this sort of work?

Sorry I am very new with Location and Network on Android ... Thanks!

At first you should search and read developer.android.com tutorials and documentation

second- there is several very good tutorials.

And your questions:

1) you can decide what coordinate you want to store (latitude, altitude, longitude, speed, direction, and several others)

2) it's depend of purpose of you app. If you want only log your position, I think at beginning it would be enough to save this data to files (csv file or any other)

If you wish I can send you my example of app which shows your current location

I have a a number of questions so thought better to put in one post - if any particular point should go to a different section please advise.

Got a Galaxy Note 10.1 for Christmas and rooted it.

Managed to damage LCD screen. Outside glass screen is in perfect condition. Underneath the glass around 3/5's of the screen is not working.

I'm assuming this won't be covered by warranty but I have a number of questions and would appreciate any answers.

1. If I get replacement LCD on eBay is it safe enough to follow YouTube video and attempt self repair or should I take it to phone repair shop? I'm assuming Samsung won't do anything as it looks like accidental damage.

2. I was thinking of using multiscreen so i could still use it in the meantime and change a few things and possibly unroot before i sent in for repair. To set this up I'm thinking id have to share the screen to a monitior or laptop or something? Is this possible?

Thanks in advance for any advice, much appreciated. Should have got the damn insurance!!

So I tried to install CM11 on my player 5.0, from another KitKat rom, but I kept getting a status 7 error.

I tried to install another rom, but then It got stuck on the samsung screen.

I used download mode to try and turn it to Stock, but KitKat changes partitions.

So now I can only get the Android System Recovery <3e> and Download mode.

I'm trying to repartition with the PIT file and Odin, but it is stuck on Set Partition.

Can I get some help so I can get it back to stock again?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
This is not true, KitKat does not change the partitions...

First, Let's check to make sure that your partition table is still in order.

NOTE: You should never use a PIT file when using ODIN unless you know what you are doing. If you want to repartition, just check repartition and ODIN will read the PIT out of the PIT Partition.

I did the 4.1.1 root injected flash, and the service menue stops at network lock option and from what I have tested and read its already sim unlocked anyway. I put an active att sim in it and it worked just fine although with this phone you can only get EDGE network on this phone with a att sim or straight talk sim. Its rooted, BL unlocked custom recovery, and JellyBeans ROM installed. Still no matter what I do or try it is stuck on edge. If there is anything else I can do to make 3 and 4g work on this Verizon GS3 through GSM straight talk for the love of God someone please fill me in.
