Hi All,

I use my vario and prophet on wifi at work and home. In some parts of my house when the signal from my Router is weak, it will automatically keep trying to connect to my neighbours Router.

Is there any way to disable this auto search so that my device only connects to my router and no other ones?

Hi guys,

I have a chinese, SM-N9008, note 3. It is possible for it to be rooted, then have twrp or cwm installed, and download cyanogenmod ( or some multi carrier rom) onto it? I am not sure if this model has an unlocked bootloader or not.

Sorry for the noob question! I can't find anything about this model except on chinese forums that I barely can read xD.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahad233:
I have an Xperia Z C6616 (Bell PentaBand LTE model)

For the longest time I was running a generic UK C6606 ROM on it with no problems.

Recently I went to sell it so I flashed the stock Bell ROM again.

Unfortunately after this flash something seems to have gone haywire.

Everything works fine except for calls and texting.

I can even browse the internet using H+ but I cannot complete a call.

It tells me that it is connected to the Home network but yet it shows me the notification of 'Selected Network Unavailable'

Here is what I have tried so far:

Reflashing generic UK ROM

Reflashing Bell 4.2.2 ROM

Reflashing Bell 4.3 ROM

Returning to stock via Sony PC Companion using 'Repair my phone'

Nothing seems to have worked. I still cannot make phone calls or send/receive texts.

It tells me that the 'Mobile network not available' whenever I attempt to make a call.

What have I done?

Is this recoverable? What else can I try?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahad233:
Bump. Please help.

Bell won't honor warranty because I dont have an account with them.

And they told me that even if I did...

Because I unlocked the phone, I have voided my warranty.

Wtftftf?

I just have $350 paper weight now.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cookie Ninja:
TL;DR reply: No!

Standard reply: The 6616 is a North American carrier-specific handset, in your case, Bell . The bootloader status of your phone must have been LOCKED, with Bell specific bloat pre-loaded with your ROM. If you've flashed GB 6603 ROM, then you have got the bootloader unlocked (whether by Bell unlock code or from any other paid service). The phone was sold subsidised by the carrier with a precondition that you/the original owner accepts a two year locked-in period with Bell (contract phone). Unlocking the bootloader simply voids your warranty or any hopes of getting a replacement/refund/service from Bell. The best option for you is to obtain paid service from Sony, (dunno if that may work or not). My sympathies.....

Dead Cookies leave no trails...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fahad233:
So firstly, thanks for the reply. Appreciate it.

I'm not too concerned with the warranty refusal from Bell. I'm working to do something about it.

I have NOT unlocked the Bootloader. I have only loaded Official Sony ROMS which do NOT require a locked bootloader.

This phone does not let you unlock the bootloader.

I just did the network unlock which they said also voided the warranty.

My main concern is whether I can try something to fix this.

If there is a HARD reset or something.

Is there anything from my side that I can try?

In terms of rooting the phone or looking at some diagnostic tool or loading some other official Rom?

Thanks once again for the reply.

I am setting up a workout log page, using zooper pro, on my nexus 7. I have a strength training calendar in the bottom left corner of the screen that reads off my Google calendar. On google calendar, I have the description typed up as a list of exercises for that workout. In the widget, it displays the list as a single line and not as a list. Is there anyway to get the widget to read out the event description as a list? I have attached two screenshots; one is the main screen, the other is the module setup in the widget displaying the event description.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev510:
Contact name doesn't show up when they call - using Straight Talk AT&T on Verizon N3

Hello,

I am having some problems with my contacts after switching to a verizon note3 from an AT&T note 2. I had no issues on my prior phones (t-mobile HTC One, AT&T s3, etc) and all of my phones get their contacts imported automatically from my google account.

For some reason, when my friend calls, their number shows up as "+xxx-xxx-xxxx" with the plus sign in the front. Unless I go in and change all of my contacts to have that + sign in the front, my contact's name doesn't show up.

I also had trouble calling them back by pressing the missed call because of the plus sign (I get a voice message saying something like "the international call you are attempting to place is not possible". This has been fixed by an app called "prefixer" which can take out the + sign everytime I make any calls.

Other than changing all of my contact phone numbers, is there any way I can make my default contact app ignore the +?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhullIT:
International Prefix

I have the exact same issue. With a Verizon SIM it works just fine, but with a GSM SIM the calling number appears (incorrectly) like +212-555-1212 (rather than simply 212-555-1212, or even, correctly, +1212-555-1212)

Can this be fixed in the ROM or kernel, or better yet, by the user?

Thanks

Keep a look out for Tv Portal. Much like MovieDroid it's hit or miss on the mp4 format; however, I've peeped out their 2.0 version (which is in beta and has zero functionality). Once released, tv portal will rank up there, maybe even surpass, showbox (current epic app ever).

Try amazon app store or SlideMe Marketplace.

After many failed threads out there that are posted by folks in my similar shoes. I have decided to post mine here in the generic section.

Goal: Back up folders under /data/sdext2 <--- ext4 partition on external SD Card, to local PC.

I am already in my destination folder: So the command should be simple as follows: adb pull /data/sdext2/ but obviously it can't find anything for some reason. But via adb shell, you can tell there are many files there.

Also

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] K3m0k3:
Well hello guys. I tried to flash cwm5 using the stock recovery on my gio running 2.2.1 and it seems to have failed the flash and whenever i try to enter recovery its just stuck on the initial samsung logo. For a few times i could have booted normally but after trying to enter recovery via rom manager im stuck on the samsung logo permanently. The only thing i can do is enter download mode but im running win8.1 and it seems this particular phone drivers dont like win8.1 so it errors out with device enumeration failed. I tried everything removing battery for up to 20 minutes, leaving it on for a while, reconnecting download mode repeatedly. Can anyone share some insight on this.

Edit: i managed to flash via odin on xp, fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Nikiz:
Funny, I had the same exact problem and I tried to find a solution for a week. :D I accidentally flashed CWM6 for ace to my Gio and it got stuck to the Samsung logo. I got the error too on Windows 8.1. The problem is, well, Windows 8.1. It has something to do with how Windows 8.1 handles device validation. I would sen a link, but I don't have enough posts to do that. What I did was, I installed Windows 7 to a VHD-image with VirtualBox, copied the image to C:\ root and added it to the boot menu with EasyBCD. (Boot menu editor) I tried to connect the USB and it worked! So, try to flash a new recovery with a computer running Windows Vista/7/8, not 8.1.

I've been trying to get this wifi direct feature working and I'm stuck. I have an N7 2012 and an N7 2013. In Settings/wifi/wifi direct, I can see both of my devices and it shows that they connect. Then I go into ES file explorer and open up the Net Manager in one N7, find the other N7 and click on it to connect but it asks for a WPA/WPA2 PSK password. What password do I use? Or how do I set one up, as I have never applied one before. Not even sure where in the Nexus I would do that.

On a side note, I'm having trouble connecting the two using Superbeam as well. Not sure if the two issues are related.

[Omni Q&A] lozohcum:
Hello,

As in the title, how can I build OmniRom (KitKat) with CWM based recovery instead of TWRP?

I don't want TWRP, a lot.
[Omni Q&A] Skripka:
All 4.4 ROMs only flash properly with CWM or Philz. Using TWRP will result in radios not working.
[Omni Q&A] Pons:
Well, that's just not true. I use 2.6.3.4 to flash my ROMs (and radio when I don't RUU), and those ROMs are all 4.4.2.

But to answer your question OP, I don't know since I haven't looked at that part of the source. But I believe TWRP is the only supported recovery, so keep that in mind when thinking about bug reports and error messages.
[Omni Q&A] Skripka:
Don't mind me...I forgot I was in the Omni boards and not my local device sub-forum ;)
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
No. TWRP's configuration is more "self-contained" in terms of many of its build dependencies. CWM requires tentacles throughout the entire Android source tree over 4-5 or more projects that I'm not merging unless they can be proven to be needed for more than just CWM.

Um, TWRP is the only supported recovery for Omni. Most specifically, OpenDelta is GUARANTEED to fail with official CWM since Koush blocks advanced recovery scripting by anything other than ROM Manager.

TWRP works to flash Omni on every supported device I know of that's receiving nightlies. If this isn't the case on ANY device it's a pretty big bug the maintainer needs to address.
[Omni Q&A] Skripka:
Yea well TWRP fails at flashing any 4.4 build (CM-base, Omni, etc) on at least the L900 Note 2 and possibly other Note2 devices. Whereas CWM/PhilZ is the only way. Been that way since CM first started pushing out 4.4 builds.
[Omni Q&A] lozohcum:
Thanks for reply!

I had problems with compiling libm, finally fixed by replacing bionic/libm folder with CM11 one.

I thought OmniRom is friendly source, now I've changed my mind, it's much more complicated than CM. I had no such problems with building CM11.

[MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION]

Can TWRP damage my device? I don't know if my config is correct at all or if it's enough. This is my BoardConfig

Or can I use boot.img from CM11 instead of the one compiled with OmniRom?
[Omni Q&A] kl3:
I've been flashing OmniROM on my Note II since the very first day only using TWRP. Before that not a single nightly zip of CM 10.1/2, PA or PAC was a problem.
[Omni Q&A] yvolk:
Today I installed OMNI ROM 4.4.2 on Galaxy Note with CM 10.1 + CWM (6.0. ...)

- it works Ok.

Generally I followed the "Installing Omni on your device" instruction at docs.omnirom.org

- excluding TWRP installing

- I downloaded Google Apps for Android 4.4 from CyanogenMod site (gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip)
[Omni Q&A] Entropy512:
Only thing I can think of is TWRP is out of date and needs updating for that device, or there are updated TWRP builds and you're not running one.

What does that have to do with this thread?

libm compiles just fine as it is in omni - if it didn't, then none of our nightlies would build
[Omni Q&A] dibblebill:
Complicated? Breakfast your device, and brunch it. Maybe use DonkeyCoyote's device binaries repository if needed (IIRC, even CM needs this), and that's about it. If you MUST use CWM, get PhilZ's, I hear he unblocked the advanced function calls.
[Omni Q&A] lozohcum:
So can I just replace PhilZ recovery with TWRP?

Like he said in his thread just sync to bootable/recovery?
[Omni Q&A] dibblebill:
That'd be my guess- don't forget to remove package in your local manifest.

EDIT: I misunderstood your question, so I apologize if I was overly harsh.
[Omni Q&A] lozohcum:
No problem. Thanks for replying, it helped me.

Once the first build is finished I'm going to change recovery.
[Omni Q&A] dibblebill:
If setting up the local_manifest gives issues, let me know- I can try to sort one out for you. I've replaced packages like Calculator, but never the recovery.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Sarrus25:
Hello,

I recently purchased a brand new Motorola RAZR XT910S (from Canada), the Korean edition of the phone. I live in the USA, and have been wanting to use it with T-Mobile, my GSM carrier / provider. I have had a few issues with the phone which have prompted me to look into a custom ROM, like the international version (Chinese?), or perhaps Cyanogenmod-- if there is a stable, functional version out for this device.

Here are the problems I've had:

Phone Issues

- Will not send SMS if data is turned on

- Always converts to MMS if text goes over 80 characters

- No setting to change the SMS splitting rules (when it decides to send an MMS VS splitting up an SMS)

- Will not allow connection to my university's Wifi; incomplete list of Wifi login options

- Will not allow install of APK files manually

I am a new poster on this website, but I have dabbled with the HTC G1, HTC G2, Droid 2 Global, Droid 3, Droid 4, XT912, and a few others-- and have been able to successfully use custom ROM's with them.

Anyway, I have searched for days and have not found a concrete tutorial for running a custom ROM on this phone. Would love to write something up if somebody can lead me in the right direction.

I understand that the CID partition has to be deleted, and a few other things have to be done-- but I just would like to know for sure before potentially bricking this rather expensive device.

Thanks,

~Sarrus

Keep watch on slickdeals.net for the iOttie. It's meant for iPhones, but my phone fits fine. ~$10 is a good price for it.

Like other mounts, it secures the phone confidently, but I chose the iOttie because it has a very sticky suction cup. I've got a leather dash, with tons of little ridges and bumps, and my mount has adhered without dislodging for the last month. It's doesn't use a glue-like adhesive. You can reuse it if you run the cup under warm water, and it sticks like new.

They make the iOttie in XL, but it's a few bucks more.

Just hit up Amazon for reviews and pics.

I orded this Mountek nGroove CD slot mount off Amazon and I love it. My dashboard mounts always fall off, especially harrowing on a long road trip (not to mention, potentially damaging my phone). But I'm very happy with this slot mount. You put it in your CD slot (and yes, you can have a CD in there), tighten the wing so it keeps the slot inserted tightly, place the phone in the mount, and close the arms. It's secure and easy for me to see. It blocks my Sonata's clock, so if I need the time, I have to look at the tiny print on my phone.
