To connect Bluetooth you need to go to Settings and Bluetooth. To pair you need to keep on that screen to have it "visible". Now depending on how the car stereo is supposed to pair, you might have to pair it from the phone or pair it from the stereo.

Yeah, cars are weird.

To tether internet to your nook, you'll have to make sure you have a tethering plan. If you do, just go to settings and internet sharing and flip the switch.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sher_dil:
I have only used dumb-phones until now and plan to get a smartphone.

I did a little surfing and found Adreno 320 is better than Mali 400 GPU and Qualcomm Snapdragons are better than Samsung Exynos, right?

But in real world they say Note 2 is considered better phone than Nexus 4. I don't understand this.

Different phones top in different benchmarks, and still some things like display quality are not considered in benchmarks i guess, right?

Now I haven't used any smartphone before, and the I would be using it for gaming or watching videos/movies only most of the time as I'm a student.

Which of these phones that I mentioned (all in 23-29,000 INR range) are better than others in reality?

Those who have used these phones or are techsavy might be able to guide me in making the right choice

Just found S3 in India has different specs than in US, Canada etc.

India: 1.4 Ghz Quad-core Exynos 4412,Mali-400,1GB

US: 1.5 Ghz Dual-core Snapdragon, Adreno 225,2GB

Which S3 is better?

Is it possible to make a video call (tango, skype, etc) and stream from the camera on your wrist ?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] roadwarrior69:
I would think it's possible, but would a bit awkward with current position of the camera. Gear2 might have a camera on the face.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
You can. Requires Bluetooth tethering. Skype smashes the battery and doesn't behave particularly well. The problem with camera apps not designed for gear is that the default screen is turned 90degrees. Native Gear apps have this accounted for
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lopan2000:
Wonder if the Xposed module App Settings will display the camera correctly in portrait if you force the app to always portrait mode.... ? Seems to do the trick for other apps that default to lanscape mode. i.e. Netflix, games , etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
I haven't tried. Would assume it would just stay at 90' to the natural direction of the app
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lopan2000:
Yeah, it may just work. Netflix for example, launches in portrait mode, then when you start playing a movie the screen rotates 90' to landscape. When you use App Settings and force portrait mode, it keeps the screen from rotating when you start playing a movie and displays it the correct way.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Brendo:
Nope, tried on snapchat and camera is always 90' rotated regardless of orientation
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lopan2000:
Ah.. that's a bummer then. :(

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garveymk@googlemail.com:
Hi All, I have an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. The mobile provider here in ireland,will be releasing 4g. When I check the network settings, I do not see any reference to lte as an option. Looking on the internet, it seems I may have a hong kong version and they used a rom that did not have lte in it.

My queries are:

1. Will the lte option work on this phone, even though there is no option in the network settings menu?

2. Is there a way of getting this lte to show up in the network section?

3. I have seen a few answers referring to the service menu and here you can supposedly add in the missing lte. I did try and follow it,but nothing happened.

I am not very phone technical. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure what other information you are looking for. It is a Samsung Galaxy S4, I9505 with 16gb. It is 3g/4g capable. When I go into network settings, I do not see the lte option. I have looked on the web, and it seems that this is an issue with these phones sourced from Hong Kong.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
That is the problem with xda.People give 10% of the info, and someone like me is expected to guess the rest.

You should be putting down exact phone model, firmware, sim provider, country, phones csc/country of origin.

All I know about hong kong is that is where you get all that cheapo copyright infringement crap stuff.

You could possibly flash a stock rom for your country/carrier, or see if theres a secret menu to get it.

As you suspect, there should be the 4g/3g/2g option like I have on my uk 19505.

I am in dublin,ireland and three, Mobile company, has lauched 4g. I bought my i9505 last june. I cannot access 4g. When I go to look at network settings, 4g lte is not listed. When I ordered the phone sim free, it must have been sourced from hong kong. This is a known issue on the web

The phone is running android 4.3, with a bsseband of i9505zhuemk2.

If i flash my phone with kit kat, as i have seen on this forum, will it give me the option for 4g? I have factory restored the phone but with no luck. If i follow the instructions to flash my phone, using o

SAmsung Galaxy S4 I9505 still missing LTE Option

Hi,

I have flashed the 4.3 android btu onto the phone, as suggested and it has gotten rid of some of the apps. It was working fine until it would suddenly reboot. I have just factory reset the phone to see if this solves the problem. But the lte 4g option is still not showing in the network setting section. The area I am in cannot access three's 4g signal yet. Does the 4g option in network settings, only show up when you get a 4g signal? or should it be there regardless.

Will upgrading to kitkat fix this issue? I believe samsung will be releasing this version in the next few weeks. If it does, do you think that when I update the os, will make this 4g/lte option appear?

Also is there a link that I could flash to get kitkat that won't invalidate the warranty? TIA MArk
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpwrf:
I also don't get the 4G LTE option on 3 UK but the option appears when I put an EE SIM card in. I think it's because 3 hasn't yet activated 4G on your SIM. They should activate it within the next month or so.

Edit: I have just checked the 3 website and it says a software update is required for 4G to work so upgrading to KitKat might fix it.

See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2601067 for KitKat.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NickFu400:
The phone: HTC vivid, s-on, stock ICS rom unlocked, rooted, faux kernal

The problem: WiFi doesn't seem to scan. It will turn on, get past the "turning on..." phase, but then just flashes between "Scanning" and "disconnected" and doesn't find any networks.

The first mod to the phone a long time ago was to root on the stock ICS rom. Everything worked fine. Eventually I decided to flash Jellybean, then decided to go back to the stock rom because of the call volume issue. Since I've gone back to stock rom, I've been having this wifi issue.

I saw another thread recommend to flash faux kernal. I did that, and had the "turning wifi on..." sticky issue. Fixed that, and now i'm back to the scanning issue.

I also saw a recommendation to flash boot.img but haven't tried that yet because I'm not sure if there is a special one I have to flash to match the kernal, rom, or...?

If someone can tell me which boot.img to flash, or any other suggestions let me know please! Thank you!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
You might think about trying Albinoman's KitKat nightlies. Many people (including myself) are getting very good in call volume, and the rom is really good.

My two cents...

Is there not a boot.img for the stock ICS? This is the guide I've been using.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ernestriderxx:
Wifi scan problem fix

What you need to do, if your phone is S-Off, is to flash the boot.img in the .rar file of the ROM you flashed

1.place the boot.img in root of your SD card or internal

2. reboot to flashboot

3. plugin usb (should say flashboot usb mode)

4. run adb from adbtools (google this if you don't have it) and type in the following commands to CMD

-NOTE: Run CMD on the same folder as the adb files

Command:

flashboot flash boot boot.img

5. restart phone

6. Voila! Fixed Wifi, and other problems u may have
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] projectisaac:
I'm pretty sure you only need to flash the boot.IMG for of you're s-on. S-off will automatically flash it from the zip file.

Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, this is how I have mounted system.img files:

mount -o loop raw-system.img /mnt/system

But this doesn't seem to work with the Moto X. How do you mount the system.img from the Moto X factory image?
[Moto X Q&A] Tsjoklat:
I have the same problem. I tried to mount the image as a loop device, but the filesystem was unrecognized.
[Moto X Q&A] hobbiest:
Has anyone figured out how to do this? It seems the Moto X system.img is some kind of encrypted image that has a "MOTO..." magic/signature.

I'm screwed up with Safestrap (I think) and can't get a working bootloader, with the boot process looping. I can manage to get into the stock ROM somehow by fiddling with the USB cable (to get into some bail-out bootload?) and get into my rooted OS.

The directions for manually uninstalling Safestrap recovery is:

u

mount -o remount,rw /system

mv /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh.bin /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh

rm -rf /system/etc/safestrap

rm /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt

ln -s /firmware/image/q6.mdt /system/etc/firmware/q6.mdt

mount -o remount,ro /system

but I don't see a /system/etc/init.qcom.modem_links.sh.bin file, which seems to indicate that the original stock .sh file got deleted. I need to manually restore it back from the stock system.img (I think). I assume Safestrap uses its copy of init.qcom.model_links.sh to execute safestrap, and renames the stock .sh to .sh.bin.

I don't know why I get stuck in the boot loop, but there's some warning about encrypted images.

Thanks for any help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rsguy:
Hi, possibly a noob question, but I have searched and searched all forums but I am unable to get a complete answer.

I have my AT&T Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337) simply rooted, no custom ROMs or anything. I don't recall the method I used for rooting. Root checker confirms device is rooted. It's on Android 4.2.2. It initially showed the custom unlock icon during bootup and device status was "custom". I followed the directions from a forum and installed SuperSU which updated the SuperSU binary and now the unlock icon is gone. Device status shows "official". I was unsure of my binary flash counter since it did not show in the download mode. I purchased and installed Triangle Away, and it shows binary flash counter is 0, binary is official, system is official, so I did not run the "Reset Flash Counter". Download Mode also shows custom binary download: none current binary: Samsung official.

So now my question is can I get an OTA update in this state? I have checked for updates and there are none. Do I need to unroot to get an OTA? My wife's Galaxy s3 was also rooted, yet it got an OTA update to android 4.3 just last week while rooted. If I need to unroot my S4, what is the safest way, given the status of my device?

Thanks for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] anomy13:
I suggest you to not to get the ota. I got the ota and the result was less than impressed. If u want touchwiz 4.3 just download it and flash it. If u update to 4.3 via kies or ota it will install a knox bootloader which will not allow u to downgrade os anymore as well as void ur warranty because it keeps track of custom settings.

Triangle away will no longer be useful as it is a seperate counter beside the knox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
What anomy13 said only applies if you have the MDL firmware. Check your baseband/build number and reply with it. If it's MDL, then you can have a custom recovery and flash the StockUp ROM to update without losing the bootloaders, but if you're on MF3 then you're just as out of luck as on MK2 as the knox counter can be avoided easily and is not the same as the custom system checker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rsguy:
Thanks anomy13 and DeadlySin9.

Mine has a baseband version I337UCUAMDL, so I guess its the MDL firmware.

Build Number: JDQ39.I337UCUAMDL

Do you have links to instructions/files to get my phone updated to the latest android version?

Can I go from 4.2.2 straight to 4.4.2, now that it is out, or do I need to update to 4.3 first?

please point me to the right direction if you can. there is so much info out there, I don't know which set of instruction is the right one for me.

Appreciate your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:

You would need drivers to tell the Note 3 how to run the touch screen part through USB just like on a PC. It does not know by default how to use an external touch screen. So you would have to develop the driver yourself since none exist.

are these newer android phones giving more reasons to stay stock? I have found with the G2 that I have no want (or need) right now to root/ROM this phone. Usually when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it, clear all that carrier crap out, or simply flash CM for that stock android experience; I just have not found that need with the G2.

So, what is the point of this thread?

I want to know everyone's thoughts about this. Are you rooted...are you stock....and why you are or are not?

If you are rooted, I would also like to know what ROM/Kernel/etc you are running.

Thanks!
[G2 General] andydumi:
I am rooted but on stock everything else.

I mainly rooted for Titanium Backup and other root enabled apps like AdBlock and Greenify. Beyond that, stock is sufficient for me.
[G2 General] vPro97:
Stock unrooted. Since greenify is avaliable without root I kinda found no real reason to root. The only thing I really want is the dual window option from LG g flex. Maybe also to try out dorimanx kernel for undervolting and messing around a bit.
[G2 General] tylerjames09:
The main reason I usually root/rom is for speed and battery life....as we all know the G2 doesnt lack anything in either. I use the greenify beta as well and have noticed a huge difference in my battery life.

I have 3x VS980s. Two are happy with being 100% stock.

I rooted mine from day1, but stayed with stock-based ROM for a month as I was happy with stockLG (I can satisfy my flashing urges with

my N7) ... Then I decided to explore the latest/greatest of Android on this phone... I would never go back to stock and don't even care when/if LG

would release a stock 4.4.x (OK, maybe we need the new OEM kernel source).

ROM+gapps are normally ~200MB instead of a huge download.

I get to try so many features out .. I can switch to other ROM (or even my Stock) Backups in a few minutes, if my mood changes.

Not that I fully need those features ... just the feeling of doing things freely.
