Hi, I know there is a dedicated thread for these questions, but its too long and is supposed to be very generic.

Request moderators to please keep this thread for just a week and then I myself will delete this one.

Coming to my question....I am looking to buy a new smartphone after my HTC Wildfire S has started showing End Of Life signs. I just loved my phone but its now no more capable of handling new versions. So I have decided to move on. I got my eyes on Moto G and it looked a perfectly suitable candidate and I have waited for it since last 2 months to launch in India but its yet in the same waiting state....even Feb 5 is just a date to announce the updates on launch....and also slightly skeptical on after sales service from Moto considering its current status in India.

I like phone that are not big but small in size...one moderate camera with flash(preferably), should have good navigation capability and a decent sound. I rely a lot on google for my contacts, so sync capability is must.

I have just loved the HTC Sense but now a lot HTC is only focusing on premium category so am a little dissappointed and also HTC is least bothered about providing updates to there old phones...

I am even considering Windows Phone 8 as an option but not sure if it has the syncing capability and how serious is the lack of app on Windows Market?

Looking forward to a this entry level smartphone buying discussion across different OS categories (except iOS, as its not a entry level category :p)

Sorry Sir, but there are several of these threads created everyday so we need to keep them all consolidated into the two existing threads, otherwise this section would be filled with dozens and dozens of "what phone should I buy threads", within just a week :)

Just make your post at the end of one of the existing threads sticky threads. You will more likely get opinions/responses in them since they are stickied and are always going to be near the top of the list and won't become buried after a couple of hours under a bunch of other threads.

Good Luck!

I'm trying to download the apk file for paypal here (the free app) but it will not allow me to use apk downloader. does anyone have access to the current 1.7.4 apk for "paypal here"?

I have compatible devices but Google seems to believe it knows better, I just got the card reader but cant seem to pull the apk to install it from ANYWHERE.

thank you! :)

SOLVED!

I am exploring Hands free options other than a bluetooth headset for when I am driving.

I am contemplating between a a pioneer Audio Head unit CD player and can pair with 4 phones. Feed back from a few owners of this headset s very positive with excellent sound quality when using the phone.

( I have not a chance to test my qtek 9100 with this head unit)

The alternative would be a Tom Tom 500/700 - It offer bluetooth handsfree mode with phones and would give Navigation aswell. Does anyone have any experience of the call/sound quality an user experience with the wizard?

What other suggestions are there?

regards

Jass
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] itsmewhoelse:
I have no experience with either of these. I use a Parrot, and it works flawlessly. It can pair with 4 devices at once. Prolly the best $199 I've spent on gadgets.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] CodeMonkey:
I can highly recommend the Parrot Rhythmn n' Blue MP3 CD Head unit.

I treated myself to one which arrived last Saturday and I fitted inside of an hour on Sunday. It is supplied with an external microphone which connects to the rear of the unit and has a long cord for routing behind fascia and carpets. It paired quickly with my iMate KJam running iMate's latest ROM, synchonised the phonebook (160 contacts) inside of 2 minutes

Note that it doesn't seem to like synchonising multiple numbers for contacts with very long names.

Callers report clear conversations and I'm thrilled with it - the MP3 CD unit works well and has no issue with folder depth (tested with Artist - Album folder structure), the radio supports RDS and Traffic Announcements, and the Bluetooth Firmware update facility is smooth.

Colleagues who've used the TomTom GPS units with Bluetooth as handsfree suggest that an external microphone is necessary for clear conversation.

I have a xda mini s and this does not work with the Pioneer Blue Tooth Head Unit.

If anyone else actually got this to work, please let me know.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] imascara:
Hi,

I tried my Audi navigator plus with both the Blue Angel and now with my new Wizard. It connects and can talk .... BUT ..... after some time the unit get into sleep mode and bluetooth is lost.

My solution ... car charger. I can set up the telephone to be up when connected. It does not go into sleep mode and the connection remains for ever.

This solution is anyhow a pain in the back side ... with my small and simple siemens I got in the car, got connected ... now I have to find the cable connect the MDA.

There is lot of information (and for the time being no solution) in the blue angel forum.

Regards.

[Sony Xperia M] akram139:
Hello Guys :) i've a galaxy ace :eek: and i was looking for a new phone and i really liked the xperia m i was just asking about anyone who owes the phone about the call quality of the phone as i've read about how bad it's so is it real that it has a problem with the call quality or not :rolleyes: Thanks :highfive:
[Sony Xperia M] WoJtOn:
Honestly, as an owner of the device after a few calls I can say, that the quality is a bit dissapointing. I mean, its not terrible, but I owned Xperia Neo V before (which at the time of release was around the same price as Xperia M is today) and I feel like the call quality was a bit better on that phone. So far I had no problems in understanding what the person I'm talking with is saying, but I haven't tried it in a really noisy environment. Don't get me wrong, I think M is an awesome device and a great value for the money, but personally, I wouldn't recommend it to someone that uses it mainly as a phone :)

Well, I kinda liked hellscore in N4 but I can't find it in N5, and I can't read German.

But from the German thread I roughly saw there is a N5 build b1, but I can't download it.

If anyone have a copy, can you PM me or send me a link? Much appreciated, thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4nth0ny:
I am pretty sure there is no Hellscore kernel for the N5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bm19981217:
That's what I found on pocketpc.ch. i'm not sure about it but have a look at the ZIP before flashing. On android-hilfe.de is a warning that you have To extract Boot.IMG and flash via flashify/fastboot.

http://d-h.st/users/hellsgod/?fld_id=31631#files
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Don't post kernels you aren't sure about. Flashing kernels for other devices can brick it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bm19981217:
I'm sure it's for hammerhead. It was posted in the nexus 5 forum of these sites and the headline says hells core kernel für (for) nexus 5. I'm not sure about how To flash.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Then maybe you should ask there ?

Asking for help on software not found in XDA seems very inefficient. ?

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

And be careful.

I'd be suspicious of anything not found in XDA. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bm19981217:
I didn't ASK for help here. I just told him he should have a look at the ZIP before flashing. I don't know if it's dangerous. Many guys there confirmed it is working.

I'm gonna try as soon AS I have time myself.

Btw: is it dangerous To flash a kernel on a secondary Rom? Will my device break if I flash a Nexus 4 kernel on a secondary Rom?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Flashing a kernel doesn't flash it to ROM. It flashes it to it's own partition. Flashing a Nexus 4 kernel on the Nexus 5 is known to overwrite the bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
...which is a brick
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bm19981217:
I mean in multirom. You can flash a kernel To secondary Roms. They should install To the multirom folder I think. So it should only make the secondary unbootabke?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Pretty much, unless you manage to boot into the secondary bootloader

Nexus 4: /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 - kernel

Nexus 5: /dev/block/mmcblk0p6 - main bootloader

---------- Post added at 07:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 AM ----------

Wouldn't risk it regardless as such a thing is stupid and idiotic to do.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bm19981217:
Just wanted To know. I'm not gonna do it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
To me.... It would have to boast super magical mystic power for me to risk flashing anything I didn't get from XDA, or at least a very credible source. There is so much here on XDA... I don't understand the desire to look for things elsewhere. I guarantee even if it works, it won't do anything special or be any better than the many kernels here on XDA.

But it's you're device and your choice. ?

And flashing anything that isn't 100 percent made for your device can cause lots of issues... Up to winnIng you a pretty and expensive paperweight. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wangdaning:
While I agree because English is my first language and the only one I am fluent in, it must be understood that not all developers speak/write in English. Some really good stuff out there on other sites that cannot be found here because the dev cannot use the forum (English posts only). I agree with the rule by the way, just saying.

I would also add, if getting something for another source in another language, make sure you understand that language enough to know what is going on.

Also agree, plenty of nice kernels on here with lots of helpful devs and users.

Welcome to CMB Roms- CM done Better... Dark Themed for his/her Pleasure

Why CMB?

We are just better :), in a nutshell we set out to give you the best of CM, with none of the annoying features (see list below), all this wrapped in a custom black theme. We used the KISS principal when deciding what to offer, we based our frameworks on CM alone (not FrankenFrameworks like some others out there), enabling us to provide updates and bug fixes as soon as CM does. This doesn't mean we are only relying on them for development, it just eases merging.

Features

Based on Android 4.4.2_M2, CM11.0

All current features CM11.0

Customized Dark Holo Theme With Gray ActionBars

Dark Mms

Dark Calendar

Dark Contacts

Ramdisk security tweaks, you can adb as root now!

Bash "tab to complete"

Remount helper, in adb shell

Old

mount -o rw,remount /system

New

remount /system

Better Right?? :)

We plan to add more features, suggestions are welcome (but sometimes ignored :P)

[Kindle Fire Android Development] 47th_Ronin:
I only get half of a screen...

Tried with couple different gapps and with no gapps and still got the same thing.

Also when it first comes up there is some sort of fc going on but cant tell what it is due to it being cut in half. And it's only in landscape that you get left half of screen, in portrait you have nothing.

Never seen this before.

Any ideas?

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
My install booted up. The wireless worked after being persistant. (Same for other 4.4.2 distros) I note that when the keyboard sounds start, the wireless will connect., so I keep doing it until it wotks, 4-5 tries. Setup is quick and loading my programs from the store works well. Something I like to do is make the status bar and the navigation bar translucent and reduce visability to zero. That way I only see the elements and not the black bar. So far, I can only do thus with twa_priv's build.

New Full Zip

Going to be uploading a new full zip... I would recommend a full wipe before installing....There are a few new things, The big one is the integration of trebuchet launcher... We are merging AOSP code with CM code... What happens is that google tries to keep us close to AOSP and CM tries to keep us as close to CM... So merging some of these changes can be a pain, but well worth the effort... We had to add CM's account login on first boot as we are CM based this should not come as a surprise...There is an option to skip this process, so I will just leave it to you, on what you would like to do with this new feature..
