I have

1. Flash Stock ROM through ODIN

2. Install CCW via ODIN

2. Root Via CF Auto Root

3. Installed a bunch of apps via .apk package (for testing purpose)

Reboot, no problem.

4. Flash GAPPS

reboot, every non system app I have installed will goes through "android is upgrading...optimizing" every reboot

Any idea why?

I love the hangouts app on this phone, and I have an unlimited plan from T-Mobile. I just switched over from Verizon.

Anyhow, yesterday I was able to video chat in the hangouts app on mobile, but today it doesn't work. Switch to Wi-Fi, bam it magically works.

Are there any other Gflex users on T-Mobile that could test this please.

Thats strange ? Hmm

Works for me no matter what but the city i live in has full lte 24/7 so never need wifi but i just tried both ways and works fine for me? U rooted?

Nope, not rooted. I'm on full LTE also.

Root the beast :p then install xposed and wanam xposed. It's for touchwiz anyway there is an option under security-> enable hangouts over 3g

Give it a try it's google related and should work. I use also tinted status bar, circle battery, and burnt toast looks awesome! PM if you need the link!
[LG G Flex] generic.imitation:
Thanks for posting that info. I have root on my phone and the app says that Hangouts video chat is enabled, but it still doesn't work.

This is actually occurring on both mine and my wife's phone. She has the Note 3. We were both able to use the video calling feature as of the 25th while on LTE, but as of yesterday neither of us can. While on WI-FI it works fine.

I just tried this method also, but it didn't work either. It's the same as the other times, all I get is just the other parties Google+ profile picture. It says I am in a video hangout, but there is no sound/video.
[LG G Flex] HiroMasaki:
It's definitely not phone specific. No love on my HTC One in HSPA+ or LTE. Nobody on Skype to see if it is Hangouts-specific.
[LG G Flex] generic.imitation:
You're having this issue also?

I just talked to T-Mobile tech support and opened a ticket with 3rd level engineering and should be getting a response within 3 days. Hopefully this gets fixed.
[LG G Flex] daggar87:
I tested with Skype over LTE. Works Fine.

Hangouts on my Nexus 5 also fails on LTE but not WiFi. Groove IP calling also does not work on LTE but no problem on WiFi (Google Voice).

I think it's isolated to T-Mobile and Google. Hopefully will be corrected soon :(

Hi all,

is there any possibility to downgrade s4 firmware from 4.4.2 to 4.3 or 4.2.2? Even activating knox counter.

i need to reflash on my s4 gt-i9505 the non contain knox-bootloader firmware. Is there any possibility?

Thanks to all you
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
From what I understand, the bootloader part (as downgrade from 4.3/4.4 to 4.2) is impossible, but firmware, I think it can be done, but maybe need custom CWM flashable one
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rling:
Once you have the Knox bootloader, there is no going back.

Flashing other non official ROMS and downgrading is possible, but it will all trigger the KNOX security flag. Make sure the ROMs you are flashing has the KNOX bootloader, or is compatible with the KNOX bootloader, or you will lose a lot of functions.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joecool666:
okay
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m52go:
I see what you're saying, but I'm not asking for the 'best' ROM. I'm asking about the most mature ROM. That's not a subjective question.

Most phones with a decent following have official CM support. For example, since CM 11 is under development, one can usually go with a stable version of CM 10, but that doesn't seem to exist for the Z1?

I went through the threads here on XDA and couldn't find a definitive answer.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mas5acre:
I still think it's a little subjective as certain people don't know how to flash it correctly and then something appears buggy. Modified honami is a great room if you want stock based. Personally, even though beanstalk is beta, I find it extremely stable and it's cm 11 based. The only issue I had was getting Netflix to work and that's just because the Netflix app doesn't like kit Kat roms. There's a work around though.
[AT&T LG G2] derekedw:
Just have to vent my frustration at LG for leaving this out of kitkat where HTC put it in. I've always been a huge HTC fan and they seem to support their customers rather well compared to the others, but I gave LG a chance with the G2. This is a very big deal for me and some others, but to see my buddies HTC One on Stock KitKat update with Tap to Pay enabled is really bothersome.

I'd typically blame AT&T for this, but since HTC put it in there, don't see why LG couldn't.

#LGFAIL

/rant off.
[AT&T LG G2] jthein1989:
Actually, it is partially AT&T's fault. They do not want to process wallet transactions if the phone doesn't have a secure element for the NFC (which the HTC ONE does have).

Sprint G2's will support Tap to Pay without a secure element.

Every Sprint phone with NFC and KitKat will support Tap To Pay.

Its not like its just a diary from samsung... Hard to read through because your text view seems to be showing line feeds as an undisplayable characters, that box thing, whatever you want to call it.

But yeah that is one of your system files, that is data the OS uses. If you change it it will most likely just break what every thing you change from being specific code/information to random gibberish.

Just looked up the file... Thats not just a plain text file that is interpreted by the OS. I think you would have to get the source code to make changes then compile your own version.

Use hex editor or you'll corrupt the file

Don't just open I with 'generic editor' and modify it and expect your device to boot properly. Use a GOOD hex editor from market and modify the values to retain proper structure or you'll regret it. You can be brave and add props not in use BUT they must present in the device for that to work. You can accomplish a lot in that file though or soft brick your device.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chnomanc3r:
Since I have too few posts to join the "[DISCONTINUED] Team Venom presents: ViperDHD 2.3.0 | Sense 4.1 | 4.0.4 | Smooth | OTA" thread I have to post here...

Everyone who uses this ROM knows there's been an OTA update message popping up due to supposedly not legit ROM. Caveat is I know I have legit but I am sure much of my updates & tweaks would break whatever is used to validate. Since it is EOL anyway I had chosen to disable the OTA but it didn't seem to stay off.

Fast forward 2 months & I find my phone dead at a blank screen. Reboot, same. Clear cache & Dalvik, reboot, same. Factory reset, same. So I use Ext4 to make a backup & then restore last months image, working again. Interesting is that the name of image made of the faulty ROM contains "unknown" rather than ViperDHD.

So question is: Is whatever OTA update being offered by TeamViper's server FORCING itself onto DHD's now despite not being correct? I mean from what I read we're not supposed to accept the update because it bricks devices yet we're still being alerted over & over to accept the OTA update.

I find it a bit nervy to have a ROM ***** about not be "legal" (I assume point is anti-kang?) over & over when I know I got my image from the official thread AND then if it did force an update that crashed my phone that would be over the line. Concern here is that I will face the same issue again since it's happened once.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chnomanc3r:
Perhaps but there is activity on the ViperDHD thread, I just lack enough posting rank to post there and figured this port would kill 2 birds one stone so to speak.

Not looking for active development and it was fine the way it was until these bum OTA's started up recently.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chnomanc3r:
OK, so no takers & no helpful input? Seem this ROM has more than a few serious issues despite having some great features & what would appear to be a serious developer base for the various "Team Venom" ROMs.

Would be nice if they would make one last update to DISABLE their broken OTA check, flawed anti-kang detection, and some the of "tweaks" that simply don't work like umm... the all CPU tweaks or the backlight that lists crazy values? Funny, click donate in Venom Tweaks, crash the app consistently!

Seems a bit drastic that I now need to dig the file system to try and rip out the hooks that enable the above problem "features". ;)

2. In ur phone - Tap Settings.

3. From the settings menu, make a selection pointing to Accounts.

4. Tap the select Back up and reset options

5. Quickly locate factory data reset and tap it

6. Relax while phone is rebooted.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] secretkloud:
Hey all,

I noticed many people seem to be having problems with the new OTA update (174.44.1 US). I also tried to update and my Moto G went into a bootloop. After much tinkering, I found a possible solution.

As far as I can tell, the update problems are caused by:

- Xposed modules like Gravitybox (not really sure why)

- Hacks like the H/H+ hack that replaces SystemUI.apk

- Any other mod that changes something in /system

This is what I did:

(Note that I have 4.4 Stock, rooted and PhilZ CWM recovery. Xposed, Gravitybox, H/H+ hack and Logo hack)

- Downloaded the zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2653978

- Placed it in the SD of the phone

- Unchecked all modules in Xposed and rebooted

- Rebooted again, this time into PhilZ and installed the update zip from the SD

It showed me an error with SystemUI.apk (and I remembered changing it for the H,H+ hack). So I went and restored the original.

Then I tried again. It went smoothly. And I still have root :D

Now I'm just waiting to see if the new SystemUI.apk is different from the old one before I restore the hack.

NOTE: For those who can't remember any/all changes made to /system, the stock system.img should be flashed in fastboot mode.

Hope this is useful...

(FIRST THREAD!:laugh:)

[UPDATE]: I have included my stock SystemUI.apk and .odex. Copy into /system/priv-app, overwrite existing files and set permissions to rw-r--r--.

All Xposed tweaks can be undone by unselecting the modules in the Xposed framework and rebooting.....before rebooting again into recovery..

UPDATE: Added the version of Philz recovery I use, for those with the "this package is for falcon_umts devices : this is a xt1034" error.

Extract into your fastboot folder and issue command:

fastboot flash recovery PhilZ.img

That should set all that straight...
