[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pac-mannan:
I have a note 3 locked to 3 carrier..if I download the leaked update and flash it using Odin (my fone is not rooted) will it cause any problems?

Since my fone is carrier locked and 3 haven't pushed an update yet.

Thanks in advance

P.s I'm a total noon at flashing so sorry in advance for dumb questions.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I think it is not a 100% safe thing to try to update a carrier-locked Note3 - given that you also do not have a lot of experience I would suggest waiting a little more (and in the meantime reading in the many threads around and searching for somobody else with a carrier-locked Note 3 from the same 3 UK carrier).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butts126:
You can get a free unlock code from three, got mine installed polish kit kat no problems.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lembo:
Just to mention that some 3rd party apps still require updates from developers to work on 4.4 so if you don't mind waiting a month or two this should also give them time too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pac-mannan:
So if I get it unlocked, then its OK to flash the official update?

Basically I just want yo know the effect of flashing an official ROM on a carrier locked fone.

Yeah I've been reading the threads so I know how to flash it using Odin.just wanted to know will it be OK or will my fone go KU-KU :D

Sorry if I'm eating your brains :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alom5:
You can flash even if it's network locked. It will stay network locked... But won't be a problem. You can also get your phone unlocked free from three.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladehawk:
You will loose root unless you use mobile odin with the keep root feature, and boot into download, then flash the bootloader. I don't think there's a de la vega style root on 4.4.

Hi,

I think on the stock TouchWiz, shortly after I bought the Gear.. I believe Media Controller app was displaying album art as a background.

I have pure black background on Null. I'm using PowerAmp on my Note 3 to play music.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
Don't ever remember seeing album art on the gear, I also use power amp.

.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] pcpimpin:
Cover Art only seem to work with the Samsung music app.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
I'm using the normal player on my S3 and it works fine.

The cover must be named albumart.jpg.

​
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdlejade:
how do i rename the image file embedded in mp3?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] almulder1092:
Aw dang. Do it does not detect embedded album art within the mp3?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
I don't know, I'm only using FLAC files (at 99%) and my covers are in separate files. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
I think it needs to be embedded in the MP 3 ...

Got a handy app for it...

[Google Chromecast] smrsxn:
Chromecast does not support miracast.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Nor AllShare Cast.

Answered your first post. ;)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
CCast is capable of mirroring but it does not use Miracast to do so and currently Google has not supported the feature yet.

We KNOW it is capable of doing it as it does it on the PC side in the Googlecast Ext for chrome.

I do expect they will support it in the future and if not them then some 3rd Party Dev will make it and Google will hopefully white list it.

Mirroring has some concerns over Privacy and I'm sure Google doesn't want to allow an unsecure implementation that could get the bad rep of being a privacy problem and send the concept into the scrap heap.
[Google Chromecast] cannondaleV2000:
If anybody would use this thing called google search you would see that Google is working on enabling it for android
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
LOL it's hard enough to get people to read and search for previous posts that have solved their problem here... you expect them to start using Google too?

Just FYI to everyone....we KNOW the CCast can do Mirroring as the GoogleCast Ext for chrome does this already on the PC. Unfortunately the holdup on seeing this on the Android side is not the Chromecast but Chrome itself!

The Mobile versions of Chrome do not at this point support Chrome Extensions which means you can't run the Googlecast extension at this time.

If you have a PC click on the Googlecast icon, Look in the upper right hand corner of the menu it presents click on the little down arrow, and see that you can Cast an Entire Screen (noted as Experimental).

So the CCast has this capability!

Just a matter of creating an App for Android and iOS that does this, Making it secure for Privacy concerns, and Whitelisting it.

The fact they are experimenting with it on a PC tells you everything you need to know about Google's Intentions regarding Mirroring.

It's coming the only thing we don't know is when!
[Google Chromecast] cannondaleV2000:
Google is working on enabling android screen mirroring like the Apple TV and an ipad can do butu know for androidones
[Google Chromecast] rdd0512:
phone to pc then pc to tv mirror threesome

sooo. while we (im)patiently wait for googhell to implement mirroring for android, i just mirror to pc and then mirror pc to chromecast.. but its laggy because of the 3 device wifi bridge.. hope this helps :cool:

There's an appliation that comes with dell devices romupdate tool called EnterBootLoader.exe. It reboots the device to bootloader in the RRU monitor mode:

In RRU monitor mode only 3 commands are available:

rru_r - restore image.

rru_b - exit the rru monitor.

The handler for "rru_r" command just shows "Image Restore" instead of "Image Update" and then just calls the "rru_u" command code.

Does anyone know how to switch to "serial debug" mode?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThumbDriveCorps:
Ok, so my issue is that I have TWRP and CWM recoveries installed on my N2.

My question is, can/how do I remove/uninstall CWM and "only" use TWRP recovery?

I ask this because I mainly see ROM devs saying to use TWRP as of late, and if this

is the case, I don't want to have CWM no more because... I CANNOT boot into TWRP,

it always boots me into CWM when I do the key combination to boot into recovery. It never

gives the option to boot into TWRP recovery.

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrebo:
You can only have 1 recovery loaded. It's personal preference but if flash 4.4 kitkat you need CWM or philz.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] a.t.e:
hello

I just want to know , when come 4.4 for Ascend P6?

Huawei said 4.4 come for Ascend P6 in jan 2014...
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
EMUI 2.3 beta testing got pushed back a few days, it will appear soon to the closed beta testers and we will know if it comes with 4.4, if it does not, then we will probably not get 4.4 on our devices at all. Expected emui 2.3 launch is in march/april.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Rossyyy:
If we don't get 4.4 that would be pretty shocking seeing as the P6 came out after the Galaxy S4 and that will certainly get 4.4
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:
Huawei only cares about their little emotion ui to be honest. Going from 4.2.2 to 4.4 requires alot of extra work, so its easier to release a new emotion ui version than compile one based on new android version.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
The new released B199 and Mate 2 comes with stock Android 4.3. So they are in a sense working on android upgrades too.

Is it possible to port the firmware of B199 (minus the kernel) to p6 ?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Zdravac:
It is very simple. I'm satisfied with my P6, but if it doesn't get 4.4, I will NEVER buy anything from Huawei again. Today we have an option to choose.

"Fool me once - shame on you! Fool me twice - shame on me!
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] warea:
Im certain p6 would get android 4.4. This android 4.4 news was made public by Richard Yu himself and highly improbable he would make a total bluff about it. P6 is their flagship phone even till today so attention to software upgrade would be there. Plus, if they dont plan to upgrade android, there is no reason why they haven't yet released the Emui2.0 at least, despite them doing beta tests on the P6 way back from august last year.

But yea i understand the frustrations and the total secrecy policy of Huawei gets really frustrating.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] meilbox:
but thats the most exciting part for all of us ;p will or will not be 4.4 for P6 that is the question ... ;p

im betting that we will get 4.4 in 3 weeks time ... from test leak or CN build ;p

as we can flsh and downgrade to any build it really doesnt matter
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] YrnehZ:
Whats the problem? Huawei said the update will come in January, it's not February yet. You can complain when it's February.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Sequenzed:
Coming from HTC One S it's pretty easy to say that Huawei is doing a great job with it's updates. It's pretty nice that i lost my One S while i was drunk and got P6 because it's so cheap and nice looking phone and the specs are awesome too. Kit Kat will come when it's due. Im totally happy with surdu_petru's CM 10.1.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] eldavor:
It's nearly February :rolleyes:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ZuperStyler:
it's here, well...actually out there, the testers have a version of the ROM. In Febuary it's safe to say that it will be officially released.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tauio111:

You are complaining without purpose, go read the threads yourself.

It doesnt matter if it says locked or unlocked. You just turn on adb and then adb reboot fastboot and then you flash the recovery_twrp.img from there. It will be successful.

Try things out before you start complaining.

Hi all..

I am new to the Arc forum and have already tried searching for any troubleshooting steps but in vain.

I had bought an Arc S from eBay. The problem with the phone is that the network drops after the phone is locked via the power button OR the backlight goes off..when I say network drop, i mean that the phone goes not reachable. However while the display is ON then no problem, I can make calls, send SMS, access internet..everything works till the phone is locked.

(Note: I am unable to contact the seller of the phone on eBay..)

Have already tried hard reset, flashing stock ICS via flash tool, custom ROM etc..I assumed it might be an hardware issue..but the technician couldn't do much..he just replaced the antenna..which didn't solve the problem..

Currently I am on a custom 4.4.2 ROM via CM.

Any help would be greatly appreciated..
