[Nexus 5 Accessories] VOLTAGEROCK:
Have you considered using this charger in the car? From what you're saying, the hold issue seems to be the charger itself. Using double sided 3m thick tape may solve the issue.

The reason I'm curious is because I and many other previous Palm Pre users used to use the touchstone wireless charger in their cars and the phone never fell of even on extreme bumps. It was great being able to simply place the Pre on the charger and if you were lucky you could put the touchstone right in your line of sight (I have an 06 civic so the touchstone fit right next to the steering wheel, to the right. Look at my profile pic or do a search for palm Pre wireless charging in the car and you'll come up with hundreds of results and pics).

Do you think the charger's internal magnets would be strong enough to hold the nexus 5 in place while driving? Right now, I still use the touchstone as a place holder for my 5 as the internal metal discs on the 5 line up nicely with the internal magnets in the touchstone. I did modify the touchstone slightly and added magnets every 90° starting at the 45° position and then the other 3 were 90°apart from the initial magnet. I'll try to post a pic or a video of what I mean. The touchstone is not a qi charger so it doesn't charge but it certainly makes for a super convenient spot for the phone to be especially when using navigation. Also the nexus has not fallen once while driving over some pretty harsh bumps.

What do you think?

[General Questions and Answers] ggtheseventh:
Hey everyone, I'm looking to upgrade from my S2-ICS, With a budget of $200, I was thinking a moto g or Nexus 4.

I compared phones on phone arena, basically it's a tie..

What would you buy a moto g or Nexus for for a budget of $200,

Thanks for the input guys.
[General Questions and Answers] Olycius:
I'd go for the Nexus 4. It has twice as much ram as the moto g which will come in handy for later updates of android, and a better higher clocked processor. Plus it's a google phone so you will get updates first and they will probably discontinue updates for the moto g before the nexus 4. Only trade off is no storage expansion on the nexus so your stuck with 8gb.
[General Questions and Answers] dixliu:
I second olycius. I'm a nexus 4 user. Bought the moto g recently too but returned it. Imho nexus 4 is better value. Not that the g is bad phone. And if your on xda i guess u will be modding. So go with the 4.

Hello Guys ,

I have the international galaxy s3 version ,

i'm now runing cm 10.1 with googy max kernel but i want to revert back to stock , but when i go to sammobile and choose my country from the list (Egypt) the latest version is 4.1.2

so my question is , can i choose another country like UK for Example and flash their 4.3 firmware or not ,

my dad also has a stock s3 which updated itself to 4.3 OTA , so can i download any version and flash it or not

although can you tell me what is the latest one i know its 4.3 but the one with the latest modem and csc and stuff as i cant read the firmware letters and searched for a describtion and didn't find any info (XXELLA , XXEMA2 , .. etc )

another question , is there any mod that switches between 2g/3g networks , like the one in cyangoenmod that switches between network types with one click , i searched but all i can come up with is the play store shourtcuts to network setting

last simple question , what is the best kernel for 4.3 ??

Sorry for long post and questions
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirTor:
For your rom question: yes, you can flash any unbranded rom (GNA7 build is considered the latest one), but if you're planning to root your device, then I suggest flashing a custom rom (there are a lot of GNA7 builds available in 'android dev' thread)- they also come with a variety of modems to choose from (I personally prefer the MK6 modem)

About kernel- there is no 'best' one, it depends on personal requirements...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexanderbridges:
If you're going back to a stock ROM, then the 2G/3G settings can be changed in the Mobile Data options, I can't remember the exact name of the options as it's been a while since I even looked at it, but you'll know when you see it, hope this helped.

I just want to extend a HUGE thank you to lj50036 for bailing me out of an extremely deep hole I'd dug for myself. I managed to get my TF300T to a point where it would only boot to the bootloader menu and not respond to ADB or fastboot.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vonis22:
Hi,

Today I tried to unlock my bootloader on Xperia T, because I recently downloaded android 4.3. When the bootloader was unlocked, I tried rooting the cell through usb debug. But it didn't work, I decided to look at it tomorrow, or at a later point. But when I restarted my phone, it was been factory reset. Some of the photos were recovered, but ALL my notes are gone and a lot of apps are gone, I never chose to format my phone or anything.

Is there a fix for this issue?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: my phone contacts seem unlinked from WhatsApp too... So the contacts are there, but WhatsApp doesn't recognise them.... I think the internal memory and the phone memory are corrupting each other

EDIT2: the contacts don't even seem to be there now, not even on Google, while I am 100% sure I saved the contacts to my Google account
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
I never heard of this issue before, but a bootloader unlock always factory resets the phone. Are you sure that your bootloader can be unlocked, and that it is still unlocked now? For unlock just follow the instructions on the official Sony page, they're clear enough.

I don't know a method for recovering data after factory reset, other than restoring your nandroid backup.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vonis22:
I am sure the bootloader unlock is possible, it might be that I unlocked the bootloader, while it was unlocked already. I don't know if this is the problem.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Did you unlock your bootloader before? If not, then it is still locked. However, the status now is a bit unsure ;) Did you check in the service menu? ('call' *#*#7378429#*#* (*#*#SERVICE#*#*) and check Service Info -> Configuration -> Rooting Status, what does it say?)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vonis22:
Thanks for the reply, I did this, my phones bootloader is UNLOCKED, I was confused and did it again, so i double unlocked the bootloader, this seems to be the problem. Is there any way to get the data back?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
Well, good to see your bootloader is indeed unlocked ;)

If you didn't make any backups, there is almost no way to recover your data. The only thing I can think of is trying to recover something with data recovery software like Recuva (from Windows, not an Android app), but you should stop using your phone immediately, because if sectors on SD or internal storage are overwritten with new data it diminishes the chances of recovery of old data.

Now would be a good time to start backing up regularly, or at least before you start flashing roms, unlocking things, etc. There is a reason why we say 'always make a nandroid backup!' :angel:
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] vonis22:
I am afraid that I lost my data. I am going to try a root in the afternoon, I will update this post if any problems occur

[HTC First] Daniel Zapata:
Greetings all,

I am writing to solicit help, because my phone is having failures to charge the battery, the battery indicator appears with a exclamation symbol and check the status of it indicates that it is "unknown". When I make the battery charge with the phone off the charging LED blinks red to green constantly.

Is there any chance that the problem is software for mobile?

I realize the question since the phone is not in the United States and can not make use of the guarantee (the phone was purchased about two months ago).

Android version is 4.1.2 and the kernel version is 3.4.10. Additionally since I ran a factory reset.

Truly appreciate all the help you can give me, because I can not make use of the guarantee (the phone was bought from amazon and was transferred to Venezuela).
[HTC First] russian392:
Um...if the phone is off software has nothing to do with it.

Did you look on Google already??

Um...it could be a defected battery. I had one before on my old phone...it just would never charge.
[HTC First] Daniel Zapata:
The problem persists

Hi all,

I am writing again because I could not fix the problem with my htc first. I bought a new battery and the problem persists. When you charge the battery with the phone off, charging for a while until the LED flashes red to green constantly. When I charge the phone is on, the system indicates that the battery status is unknown, being even slower charging (almost 6 hours he was charged, only advanced 6%).

Among the actions that I have made are the following:

1. Changing battery.

2. Updating the operating system.

3. Changing charger.

4. Temperature I checked the battery and it never exceeds 35 °

What do you think that may be failing?

el adaptador no es original? eso puede a ver dañado el puente de carga... sin embargo puede intentar restaurar el telefono con RUU files para dejarlo original de fabrica.... si eso no lo arregla entonces no es de software...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadilloben:
hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me with installing the latest build of xnote 10.0 for my n9005

i am currently using the xnote 7.0 rom which is 4.3

my baseband is n900AUCUBMJ5

kernel is 3.4.0-1625098 se.infra@SEP-121#1

and my version of xnote is XXUDML2

i currently have safestrap installed as my recovery

i am rooted as well

the xnote note instructions read as the following

"

[SIZE="1"[SIZE="3"]]ONLY IF COMING FROM ANDROID 4.3

FIRST DO THIS, SKIP IF ALREADY DONE CLICK H E R E

So you need a 4.4.2 official firmware already installed, a working KITKAT recovery and ROOT to backup EFS (use chainfire root for KITKAT)

1- Untick reactivation lock in security settings

2- do a EFS backup from your KitKat firmware

3- check the MD5 of your downloaded X-Note zip

4- reboot recovery

5- wipe data (don't do other wipes)

6- install zip and choose the rom in your sd

7- follow aroma, wait for first boot, done.[/SIZE][/SIZE]"

so my question is do i need to follow those instructions in order to flash from the old xnote 7 to xnote 10 and if so where do i find the download link for the 4.4.2 official poland firmware. (will the langauge be in polish) and will it completely wipe my device in any part of this process and do i need to install a different or newer recovery

thanks for all the help in advance

Is there a question?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Yes > >>

theres a couple of threads in the general section of this forum to download 4.4.2 - The language won't be Polish as you get to choose on setup wizard.

It won't wipe your device using Odin to flash it - although it's advisable you do wipe.

Lastest CWM by Chenglu - PhilZ Adavanced CWM - TWRP are all Kitkat compatible now. -- remember you don't need to root to install a custom recovery.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Which Note do you have? region/model I mean, defo an N9005? -- on first look at that I assume an ATT N900A - possibly wrong tho -
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadilloben:
its an att sm n900a so US and ATT
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Ah OK thought so, due to the bootloader being locked you can't write to the device hence the error. I wouldn't advise trying to write N9005 ROMs for now. I'm gonna guess however that due to the BL lock and since no 4.4.2 is out yet for the ATT version you won't be able to upgrade because of the requirement for the new 4.4.2 BL to boot up xnote 10.

Your really better off asking on the safestrap thread though as most people in this part won't know due to us having the international model.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadilloben:
so your saying that even though i installed the xnote 7.0 that 10.0 wont work because i need the bootloader unlocked. and how the hell did i install 7.0 if it was locked in the first place?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
7 used 4.3's Bootloader IIRC, 8 onwards uses the new KK bootloader. ATT has the JB bootloader, but doesn't yet have access to the new 4.4.2 bootloader.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
In regards to CM - I honestly have no idea if it's compatible with the ATT model - but from having a quick glance around the ATT Note 3 forum I can't see that it is. And checking the new unified build tree it shows it's only compatible with "hltespr(Sprint), hltetmo(T-Mobile), hltevzw(Verizon), htlexx(N9005) - However, that's not to say that there is no definite method. One may come via Safestrap or possibly already and I have just missed it.

No problem with helping, just sorry couldn't help you get xnote 10
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadilloben:
its alright not your fault and alrighty i mean ive searched around for cm for att and didnt find it either.

in all reality i just wanted 10.0 to get 4.42 because i assumed that my battery drain would be better on it. i love 7.0 its a great rom i just wish there was a real fix for my audio out wakelock issues that suck my battery dry. i have a 10,000ma zero lemon battery on my phone and it still only lasts me about a day. like its at about 20 percent when i charge it before bed every night

Hello, I have rooted my stock Galaxy Note 3 T-Mobile 4.3 and now I heard that Samsung is rolling out soon KitKat update for the Note 3.

My questions is, do I have to unroot and return to stock then update then root the exact same way I did before ?

Does updating to KitKat require a different root method ?

Can I restore my apps and how ? I dont seem to know how to use Titanium backup and I even purchased it!

Please help me and thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Liquorsicc92:
I believe that you can update to Kitkat via Odin when the official update comes to T-mobile while rooted but you will lose root in the process. As far as rerooting, I believe you can flash recovery with Odin and then flash SuperSu in recovery to get rooted again, although, I think I read somewhere that it wasn't recommended anymore?. Not sure though. I used auto root method which I'm sure would still work just fine with kitkat. For restoring apps I would recommend the App backup and restore from the play store. Very easy to use. :)

I generally NEVER accept OTA updates until Devs have a chance to look at it and okay it, or see what others feedback is after accepting. Don't take for granted that you are rooted and have unlocked boot loader access. And until official KitKat is released its all hearsay as to when it'll come out.
