I have several Qtek 2020i units, and I decided to use one as a test unit to guage which ROM is best for our business needs.

I grabbed the latest files from the FTP and got to work.

Once I had radio 1.04.0 I decided to flash it into the one that I use as my regular phone, with contacts and programs installed to make life easier.

I have done this on my Universal and updating the radio didn't cause a hard reset, I just hit the soft reset and all was well.

I followed the same procedure on the Alpine and when I hit the reset it went into an automatic hard reset.

I don't know if this information is mentioned anywhere in the ROM upgrading threads, but I think it should be.

Glad I had a backup, but some people doing this might not.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Benjamin Anonymous:
The title should explain some of my problem. I have not met the owner of this device, he did something to his device and messed it up, he gave it to my friend, who couldn't fix it, and then gave it to me to fix. I have NO IDEA what they have done, what software version is was originally on, and what they tried to do to fix it. The owner doesn't know himself.

It won't boot up, depending on what firmware I decide to use, it either boots to the Samsung logo and gets stuck there, or says "Fireware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

It does have Odin installed an I've used versions 3.0.9 and 3.0.7 and 3.0.6. I have used the following firmware packages:

I605VRUEMJ9_I605VZWEMJ9_I605VRUEMJ9_HOME.tar.md5

KIES_HOME_I605VRAMC3_I605VZWAMC3_1098177_REV04_user_low_ship.tar.md5

I am worried I may have destroyed the device, I used the re-partition option multiple times with different combinations of firmware packages and Odin versions.

Odin on the phone says:

Product name: Sch-i605 (duh)

Custom Binary Download: no

Current binary: Samsung Official

System Status: official

(then in gray, don't know if that means anything)

Knox warranty void: 0 (Does this mean that he did the 4.3 update? or does this mean he flashed a rooted version of 4.3?)

Ap swrev: A2

Can you guys help me or is this to obscure? ( or did me re partitioning the device ruin my chances?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Benjamin Anonymous:
Oh yes, I can't boot into recovery mode either, any ideas why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] akellar:
At no point did you mention what the problem was or what the device is doing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Benjamin Anonymous:
*facepalm* I'm so stupid....

Depending on what firmware I decide to use, it either boots to the Samsung logo and stays there, or says "Fireware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"

Like I said, Odin is installed and I can't boot into recovery.

So sorry!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomul:
Hey there

got a really strange problem with Android starting from 4.3

Every number with two or more numbers is shown as a link (like a telephone number) but it seems like this is just the problem when the language is changed to german.

Switching the language to english solved it but i want to keep it in german.

so any suggestion how i might fix this problem?
[HTC One X] Carlos Faria:
Hi guys,

I'm using the nightly version of CyanogenMod 11.0 and was wondering what the best way to upgrade to the latest versions (nightlies)?

1) Update by the settings ("CyanogenMod Updates")

2) Update by flashing CM 11.0 zip file and boot.img

What is the best?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
1: probably yes

2: update a rom by it's boot.img ? That's not possible. If a rom gets updated via OTA it can never affect the kernel (boot.img) because it can't be flashed without manual fastboot commands.....
[HTC One X] Carlos Faria:
I wanted to say to make flash CM 11.0 zip file and boot.img , sry

So I think the best option would flash files.

Thanks again! :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ah oke, that i misunderstood then. Updating depends also what is described to do. If you follow the thread for a bit it will be said if it's needed or not. But yes it is always safe to do both ;)
[HTC One X] athulele:
Yes. Do both.

[Defy General] gooodly:
I had some issues when I tried to update from 2.2 to 4.4. The description in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515036 is good, but the zip files can not be flashed to a 2.2 Defy with standard recovery. The more or less helpful error message was "E: Error in /sdcard/update-recovery.zip (status 0)". So there are some pre-requirements.

To get the zip-files installed I did install (maybe step 1 and 2 are not needed):

2ndInitDefy

TWRP-2.1.1

CM10 (I think with TWRP-2.6.1.0)

update-recovery.zip (TWRP-2.6.3.0), then CM11, then gapps.
[Defy General] Proverbs2:
Even better:

1) install 2ndInitDefy

2) flash defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0

3) reboot into TWRP recovery and flash safewipe, then CM11, then Core gapps (NOT full or standard gapps)

[MENTION=513620]Quarx[/MENTION] -- perhaps you could add this to the OP of your CM11 thread, so that the forums don't get spammed by noobs who didn't install properly.
[Defy General] pgreed:
1. root with framaroot

2. install 2ndinit 2.0 not 2.4

3 boot in recovery and do a cache and dalvik wipe. Install twrp 2.6.3.0

4. reboot in recovery twrp. Install recovery update. reboot in recovery twrp

5. Install CM 11

Enjoy
[Defy General] Proverbs2:
Why do you recommend this method instead of the steps I gave in the previous post? Your method doesn't give a clean install, because you didn't wipe the system partition, so it may lead to problems. You can wipe the system partition in TWRP, but doing so will also wipe recovery, so if a problem occurs during flashing you'll be stuck without recovery and have to go back to sbf. That's why TJKV created the safewipe script, which I linked in my previous post: it wipes the system partition but leaves recovery intact.

And why do you recommend such an old version of 2ndinit? I've used version 2.3 without any problems.

Also, TJKV's defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip, which I linked in my previous post, already includes the updated recovery, so installing the recovery update afterwards (your step #4) does nothing.
[Defy General] pgreed:
I use myself this method. If you wanna wipe something after boot into recovery you can install safewipe before installing TWRP (to convert partitions from ext3 to ext4).

Why 2ndinit 2.0? Because is all you need and is much smaller than 2.3 plus is safer.

From my experience the twrp 2.6.3.0 without patch failed to install CM11.
[Defy General] Proverbs2:
2ndinit 2.0 is smaller because it doesn't include the actual bootmenu; it just downloads it from the web during the install process. Version 2.3 doesn't require internet access during installation.

It worked fine for me, and other users reported it working as well. Are you sure you installed the latest TWRP (version 2.6.3.0, using TJKV's zip), or did you perhaps install an earlier version? Version 2.6.3.0 is the version used by Quarx's CM11 builds.
[Defy General] pgreed:
V 2.3 is reported to not work on some machine (green lens) -this version is made especially for Defy+

I used a TWRP 2.6.3.0 I dunno if is TJKV's and w/o Quarx patch it doesn't work.
[Defy General] lfuentes:
Reallocate Partitions

I have a question (may be off topic): exist a way to reallocate space in partitions?

I´ve installed cm11, and tried to add gmail.apk in /system/app with adb and i get: "no space left on device"
[Defy General] Proverbs2:
No. One very talented dev (Epsylon3, who helped develop CM7 and CM9 for the defy) hardbricked his device by trying to resize the system partition.

To save space in system, delete ringtones (which you can put on the SD card instead) and any system apps you don't use. See here and here for lists of apps that are safe to remove.
[Defy General] Proverbs2:
*delete* (wrong thread)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OverDub:
[SOLVED]

Some apps like contacts+ mess up the lockscreen so you will have to enable lockscreen option in the status bar slider, then disable lockscreen and re-enable the lockscreen again.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hey there,

So I was flashing a couple of ROMs but I wanted to flash cm 10.2 nightly for a couple of days for testing reasons, the ROM works like a charm but since yesterday, I had No lock screen, when I press the power button the screen closes, when I repress it (even after hours of idle) there is no lockscreen, Directly opens where I left, I tried changing my pattern and nothing happened, a very weird issue that I haven't found a fix to on the interwebs.

With regards,

So as of beta 3 the immersive bar is screwing up..

It disappears sometimes sooner almost I dare say immediately..

Is that an interval you can adjust back to previous versions ?

It used to be alright..

Sometimes it also appears as the full black bar..instead of the classy transparent one..

Oh uhm Nexus 5 your beta 3 no kernel mods or keyboard mods aosp your Google full modular gapps..
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byproxy:
So I don't get why this has started to happen and am hoping someone can help.

My phone has started to face dial while I'm on a call. The screen is off... so I have no idea why it's doing this... and it didn't do it when I first got the phone - it just started about a week ago.

I am rooted and running a "custom" rom - it's the debloated OTA (12B). But otherwise it's a "stock" phone.

Any help much appreciated. Thanks!

[Google Chromecast] weldawadyathink:
So I got a chromecast over the vacations and it was working perfectly. Then yesterday it stopped while I was using it. I tried again to cast anything (youtube and Netflix) and it gives me an error message. I have tried factory reseting it twice, and nothing has changed. I have never rooted it or anything. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Can you tell us the error message shown in the application(s)?

Also would help to know your make/model of router.
[Google Chromecast] weldawadyathink:
So of course. I try everything I can think of, then ask here, and the second I post it starts to work again. Thanks for helping me out even if I didn't need it. In case anyone still cares, the error said something like "error sending video to device", and it is an att uverse router.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Hahaha keep an eye on it. If it got a firmware update it might have been something related to UPnP or DHCP as those addresses are cached for a short time by the router. Let us know of it shows up again, otherwise have fun!

[Google Chromecast] weldawadyathink:
So actually this is still a problem. I cannot play more than about 3 minutes of a youtube video without it giving me an error. Netflix still works fine though. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this might be happening?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
If you can tell us the make and model number, or point to the manual maybe we can find some probably settings that need adjustment, if the router isn't already listed on Google's known router issues page.

Otherwise, look for options that mention

IGMP

IPv6

Multicast

QoS

I added my mac address to the exception list as per Google instructions for 2 wire routers, but I am too tired to try anything tonight. I will post soon letting you know if it helped.
[Google Chromecast] thanatos_evo:
Same issue. I'm on 15250 with an actiontec c1000a modem. I can see the chromecast on all my devices but its being very erratic.

All this started with "test a" - I queued 2 videos from my phone, played 1 full 3:30 min video, and the 2nd video made the chromecast hang after 30s or so. It was unresponsive to all other devices and apps.

Did a factory reset, set everything up again. I played several videos under 3 mins, then switched devices, then switched to play music - all worked. Then I went back to "test a" and same problem.

edit : turns out it's always 1 video that does the "killing" as such. Prodigy's stand up (labelled "best quality") on YT. I don't want to link to the video really, but can anyone see if the same issue happens to them?
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
I've got an Actiontec c1000a, found the Prodigy video and will test it out later today.

Do you have WMM turned off on your Actiontec?
[Google Chromecast] thanatos_evo:
Don't know. I'll check once I get home. I'm guessing I'll find it in the modem admin page?
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
WMM is usually in the Advanced Wireless settings for most routers.
[Google Chromecast] weldawadyathink:
I did what Google said to do on the page you linked for a 2 wire modem, but nothing changed. Do you have any more ideas? It worked fine before the update, but now on YouTube only, it can't play more than about 3 minutes. It is an att uverse router, and I can get the exact model if needed
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
First try power cycling the router, then Chromecast. If that doesn't help please post model, sounds like something RTSP related maybe.

[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
Couldn't get this to fail, sorry for the delay testing it.
[Google Chromecast] weldawadyathink:
It seems to me that my chromecast just hates these videos. Every other youtube video works fine except this audio book I have been listening to on YouTube. Thanks for all the help anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hkbladelawhk:
I recently took up the T-Mo deal to switch from VZW. My mom kept her Note 2 and I rooted it and got it working on T-Mo with H+ and Edge. The issue I see is that it bounces from 3G to H+ every few seconds, What can I do to force it to stay on one band? Or even just limit it to 2 bands?

I tried Phone Info, but it force closes. It's running the Stock Rom 4.3 with a locked bootloader.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hkbladelawhk:
Really? No one has any input?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jcollier:
From what I read when trying out Straight Talk, that is the standard operating mode of those types of network. Basically is scales down when higher speeds aren't necessary and then ramps up to H+ when utilizing the bandwidth. I never found a way to do anything about it, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] synapsesboob:
Yeah I couldn't find anything myself. I was going to do this also with my note 2. Honestly have you ever considered using swappa.com to get a T-Mobile Note 2? That way you get full network speed benefits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xdadevnube:
Try the app Advanced Signal Info.

Go to additional settings, Phone Information, then try selecting a network mode.

With CDMA, I can lock in EVDO on the Note 2, but it won't let me lock LTE like some other phones will.

Just wondered...

For me its too big as a phone. My BA is just about as big as I like. I normally wear jeans and don't carry a briefcase of a "man-bag"!!!

Im wondering, does anyone here use it as a pure, connected PDA and have a different phone for voice and texts?

If so, which phone do you use?

How do you fit wallet, phone and Uni about your person?

I'd love to use it more but for the mo, i just use my BA and have the Uni as a mini laptop....

Maybe I'll just wait for the hermes but i'd miss the vga and the full size sd card!

p.s. pse dont flame me with another "why did u get it if you know its so big" rant. I got it free and would love to use it more. Just looking for practical suggestions!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] belfast-biker:
If it rings, I put it to my ear. It's not too big as a phone. Or, now that I'm sorted for bluetooth stereo and MS Voice, I make a call by pressing a button and saying the name. Easy peasy.

I keep wallet and all else about myperson using my backpack, which is with me 95% of the time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
Making, receiving calls (with BT headset)

Browsing & sending emails, while commuting (as now) or at home over wifi if the missus has the laptop

Playing music on the move

Watching films on the train

Organising my life using Pocket Brezee

Remembering all my friends' phone numbers

Taking reasonable pictures of life's happenings

ok it's not the smallest phone around and wont go into a jeans pocket, but it's not too large to fit in a jacket or combats pocket and does virtually everything I need in one. (would prefer an external screen for easier calling though)

oh, and even though I don't carry a "man-bag", since I mostly travel by motorcycle, I'm normally wearing a jacket that's got pockets big enough to carry the thing. :)

I'll be getting mine within the next couple of days thanks to work.

The points which justified getting one when all but the lucky few are stuck with crappy Nokia 6310s is to review WM5/Exchange & Blackberry as an e-mail solution for senior management (have my own XDA2i) and also test out RDPing to work's network for out of office support.

The uses that didn't get mentioned to management are using it as a MP3/WMA/Divx/Xvid player; checking the footie scores; using it as a calendar, phone book and voice recorder (lousy memory) and basically because I just wanted a new toy ;)

I didn't find the size of the XDA a problem and I expect this will also fit snuggly in the inside pocket of my jacket. I enjoy the versitility of these devices and expect my SPV M5000 will just be more so. :D

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] All4Sky:
I think if someone is willing to carry both a universal and a separate phone for voice/text, they should just carry a universal and a reliable bt headset (still two devices, but at least all info is carried on one device). Then the universal won't seem so big as a phone. I actually feel like the universal is not as bad holding to my ear as my nokia 9500.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Osir1s:
Well I use the jasjar for everything I did my mini and more. I dont think its too big as a phone, its slightly bigger than most, okay I grant that but ive had mine for little under a month and ive adapted to the weight of it.

Personally I love it for phone calls, best clarity on both ends I have ever seen in a mobile. And sms and emails are easy as now, with the keyboard.

I wear jeans or a suit depending on if im working or not, and I fit my jasjar in one pocket, and wallet and keys into the other no worries.

I use mine for games, music, calls, pda, organisation, e-reader, email, limited surfing, and not a high priority but this units additional camera features are handy.

I guess my signature shows allready how I use my Universal.

For me it's just to cumbersome to be a phone, but it can be a reasonable micro notebook/tablet. Browsing (Opera), notes (PhatPad) and also office (Text Maker, Plan Maker) in Full VGA is nice, and coupled with BT mouse quite usable.

Now that I have ACU2 ROM with A2DP, it's going to get even more use, as media player - I'm just not sure if current 1Gb card is going to be enough...

As for PDA stuff (contacts, calendar, mail... and also ) this is handeled by Wizard quite nicely.

Wouldnt it be great if someone made a mini bluetooth handset that you could dial from? Universal stays in pocket but you only need to touch a little candybar (say, 100mm* 50mm*10mm) to make a phone call! I guess that would be the best solution for me!!

As for the size, I bought a new coat for work and a jacket for home with inside pockets large enough to accomodate. I was slightly embaressed using it as a phone at first, but whilst using it as a Laptop on the train and then closing it up and bringing it to my ear when the phone rings, complete strangers are always asking what it is and where they can get one instead of carting a heavy laptop to work everyday. I would be lost without it!
