I've been searching this and other forums all day...

I found something from "crash xxL" here

xda-developers Motorola Droid Ultra Droid Ultra General Droid Mini/Maxx/Ultra Root [SU6-7] by CrashXXL

But its all greek to me. I can't "run" anything, or "start a shell", I must be retarded, lol. The SDK Android studio app might as well be Greek as well - I've look thru all the menus but its obvious I'm way out of my league here. I used to consider myself somewhat of a techie, but not after this exercise!

Is there hope for us mere mortals?

If the method on my last post seems viable i'd like to try it. Otherwise I figure I'll just have to pay one of those websites, rather than pay VZW another $30 monthly for the privilege of using the data I've already purchased.

Really need that tether back. Even if i get it rooted, I'm not sure how to "fix" the tether problem...sigh...

ANY help is appreciated :)
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] MGA2009:
Just to check... I have a Droid Maxx XT1080M NON ROOTED. I am using it in a GSM network and I can tether without problem (USB, WIFI and BLUETOOTH).

This is not available to other Droid Ultras/Maxx??
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] Steve.X:
Semi-Solved

I Solved my issue of trying to use my unlimited data via hot spot. Apparently Big Red V corrupts android OS with an added subscription process for the hot spot function. They want us to pay an additional $30/mo to use our hot spot. Technically that's illegal & against FCC rules, so they call it a "device feature" instead - which actuality is a device hobbling practice (read extortion) imho. FoxFi app has circumvented this subscription process in the past, but the carrier breaks this with each and every update. Android 4.4 has pretty much locked down the boot loader most commonly used to ROOT. What's a user to do but choose a phone with unadulterated Android OS, which was my solution. Moto has come to the rescue with the X pure edition! Now turning the hot spot on and off is super simple -- right in the pull down menu of android 5 and 6. Yay for unlocked, pure Android phones that are free of carrier manipulation! No Root Necessary! Thanks Moto!:good:

How do I disable the orange box outline?

Ever since a factory reset, I've been having an orange box highlight whatever elements I tap when I use apps like the default browser, Gmail, Chrome, Google Search, etc. It also narrates whatever is selected unless I turn the Media volume down.

Hi all, new to rooting. I rooted my Sprint GS3 running the Wicked Sensations Rom and love it so far,thanks to the team. However my battery life seems to have gone down hill big time. It was mentioned that maybe my kernel needed to be adjusted ( I have no clue when it comes to this, I'm still learning). My question is,how do I "adjust/tweak" my kernel,or is there a better one out there for me? Can someone please explain..Thanks..Phil

Do you happen to know what kernel you are running? If not go to system settings/general/about device and take a screen shot and post. I personally don't mess with kernel settings but this will give someone better knowledge to help you.

If you haven't made a kernel change then your running dkp kernel. You would maybe ask for suggestions in my thread on best setup or visit decimalman thread in the original development thread to see what others are doing. You could also experiment with other kernels until you find the right setup for your phone. All phones play different with kernels in my opinion so you just need to play around until you are satisfied.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] schlepprock:
Yeah its the dkp kernel. I've read a couple threads on kernels but none actually say they're great for..... ya know. I know nothing about kernels which is why I was hoping that one of you heavy hitters could say oh kernel??? Is perfect for this rom. Anyway..I'm gonna do a clean flash of WS Rom tomorrow (talked about in my other thread ) and maybe try a battery calibrator and see how it goes..but thanks to you guys..Phil

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] orangekid:
That's actually a good sentiment, and I commend you.

But to single out one kernel as being "the most amazing" when there are more kernels out there that users may prefer is not really what XDA is about.

We encourage all users to try out each kernel on their own and decide which one they personally prefer.

Therefore I am closing this thread down.

In the CMD I get an error while rooting my LG G2 (AT&T).

~See Attatchment for CMD error screenshot~

Can anyone help me fix/troubleshoot this error?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
probably usb debugging needs to be on.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwissCheeseHead:
Make sure you have USB debugging on.

If it's the VZW variant, when you connect it to the PC, make sure you connect it via Ethernet.

Again for VZW variant, when you plug it in, your computer will prompt you for an action with the phone. I found that connecting with LG's software was the trick in allowing you the computer to communicate with the phone (at least for me).
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leomd333:
I think this happened because you ignored/didn't see the step about unplugging the device and plugging it back in when the program tells you to. Just re-do the root and read the steps in the program carefully. You have done everything else correct, De-bugging is on and you have chosen the right connection mode, otherwise the program would not have been able to even start rooting your device, as it wouldn't see it. So it must just be the unplug part you missed, just try again :good:

Hey All,

I recently purchase an aluminium bumper for my white nexus 5. Here's quick quick review :D

Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-CHAO-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item1c3b6ff83c

Pros:

-Slim! This thing fits really nice in the hand

-Looks sexy and High Quality feel (solid).

-All the corners are well covered ( what I really look for in a bumper.) On the inside has thin rubber lining to prevent phone from scratching.

-Has a lip that would raise the screen a little bit if you place your phone face down.

-You can take out the sim tray w/o taking the whole case off.

-Comes with extra screws + tool.

Cons:

-Signal strength is slightly weaker. I don't have time to run numbers but I do notice gps takes a sec or two longer to lock and 1-2 bars drop in some areas.

-All the ports are nicely cut except for the headphone jack. It can be tight on some bigger plugs or doesn't fit at all.

-Screws, This case requires a tiny phillip to take off the two screws that holds the case together as shown in picture.

-Doesn't protect the back/camera, due to nexus 5 being curved out.

Conclusion:

Overall, I really like it despite the signal drop in some areas. This thing is sexy and minimal.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tboy2000:
In my time owning a windows phone 8 handset, I have had to do a few hard resets. I have noticed straight after a hard reset clean of apps, standby time can be around 1 day and xx hours. After reinstalling all my apps and maybe a day or so of use, standby drops to 8-10 hours.

Why is this? Could it be a rogue app which is significantly draining the battery in the background? Does this huge standby drop happen to others?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Apps that update in the background (including, ironically enough, things like battery monitors) do have a non-trivial impact on battery life. The bigger problem is like the configuration of email and social network accounts for automatic synching, though.

You can, as always, check the Settings -> Applications -> Background Tasks to see what runs in the background...

Sorry for double post, I had trouble with the Captcha...maybe this maid that it was double...it was not on purpose so that's why I close this one.

______________________________________________________________________

Hello,

I got a Galaxy SIII GT-I9305 from my insister from France. Then Phone is branded Orange, is rooted it, change firmware 4.2 to 4.1 Orange, I removed the Simlock via the service mode.

I inserted my Softbank nano sim card (from IPhone 5) with an adapter. I used the following APN setting:

-APN: jpspir

-Username: sirobit

-Pass: amstkoi

-AuthType: PAP

I runned a Sppedtest and my result are really bad:

Ping 123 ms

Download 0.12 Mbps

Upload 1.77 Mbps

I know that the GT-I9305 use the 800, 1800, 2600 MHz LTE Band and the Softbank network works with 2100 MHz, but even with 3G or H+ it should be faster than this?

Did I miss something? Any idea, comment?

Thank you in advance!

I have noticed that the touch vibrations are less intensive. That the screen is snappier.. I don't think its a sensitivity issue as changing the sensitivity in the ROM still make it snappier, but lessens the sensitivity. So not sure what Sony did there. But I like it.

(not that this is me currently not using a screen protector on my brand new unit)

There are a few more apps included but thats probably an FTF issue. i.e. European apps.
