[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hey_joe:
If you want the ability to flash back to 4.3 from 4.4, install custom recovery and roms and keep your Knox 0x0, head over here and do some reading ( if you haven't been there already ).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thaelern:
Hi guys!

So I too, like many on this forum started my adventure of rooting and throwing a custom rom on my device, because the grass is always greener on the other side, right? :)

In my particular case I threw CyanogenMod 11 onto my SM-N9005, and though it took a great many tries I finally did it, but lo'n behold did it bring an ocean of troubles to my device. I believe the whole issue is my phone has a bootloader 4.3, and the CyanogenMod 11 is KitKat 4.4.2. I am not sure if this is what is causing my trouble, but I believe it is. Both my wifi, bluetooth and MMS have all stopped working.

I know this forum is usually great at helping out people, as I experienced in my first thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50821847 ( Big shoutout to Rosli59564 who was being very patient and helpful! )

I've now fooled around trying to fix my wifi, but I've come to accept I simply cannot get it to work, and now wish nothing else but to go back to the stock rom for Note 3, bootloader 4.3 compatible. I really hope there is a kind soul out there, who could point me in direction of it, it'd be so very much appreciated!

- Sincire, the Dane.

- Edit -

To clarify.

I have the international model, SM-N9005

Bootloader is 4.3

I live in Norway, if that has anything to say.

- Double edit -

I am not interested in custom roms or anythign anymore. I just wish to get my device as close to stock as possible. I've found a ton of information about going back to stock rom, but they all talk as if I had 4.4.2 already, and that has me confused, as my bootloader is only 4.3, cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] powerwill:
Is there a way of giving any Android device OTG support even if it was not manufactured to support OTG.

I have a kobo arc and it does not support OTG, but I would like to be able to connect keyboards, mouses, flash drives etc to it, is there way hoping it does not involve custom roms as I have no idea what Roms would work with my tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] repat:
No, OTG has to be implemented by the manufacturer.

You can however use e.g. a bluetooth keyboard. I'm not sure about the mouse. A USB Stick is not possible. The way to go would be an SD card or cloud.

Which tablet do you have?

These looks interesting

Not sure of the speeds of this but probably sufficient for viewing on tablets.

Can't find any detail on the weight of it, hoping it wouldn't be too heavy and place stress on the connector in landscape mode.

Only USB 2.0 though.

For those that want USB 3.0, there's the Patriot stellar

Then for those that want to use their own microsd, there's the Patriot Cosmos

[Nexus 5 Accessories] dave2metz:
The Imation looks pretty cool. I like the little swivel that makes it one piece. I ordered the Meenova and got it a few weeks back. This is my first experience with any OTG, so I really have nothing to compare it to. It took me a little bit to get it working correctly, but that was my own fault for not having a compatible rom/kernel. After I flashed SlimKat, and downloaded Nexus File Manager from the Play Store, it works perfectly. So far, I am really happy that I purchased the Meenova. I'd be interested to hear about someone who has used any of the products linked in the OP.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dave2metz:

[Nexus 5 Accessories] 3DSammy:
I've have a Meenova for about a month and can't recommend it enough. Price and functionality make it a huge winner in my books. Here is a link to my initial experiences with a Meenova. It includes pictures with my N5 and Spiegel Ultra Hybrid case. Also with the announcement of 128GB micoSD cards there has been many sales on all sizes of cards including 64GB which the Meenova supports. So far I have not seen whether the Meenova can handle the 128GB cards but their Web site had an in brackets comment beside the 64GB stating "largest available" and the reader supports the same standard as required by the 128GB cards.

I think this might be one I'd be interested in, given the small size. USB 2.0 doesn't bother me that much, as long as it does max out the write speed at 30MB/sec or so, and not the typical slow speed of kingston datatravellers at 3-5MB/sec

Hi All,

I had TWRP recovery on this LG D802. Because download mode wasn't working i flashed a stock recovery. Since that moment i don't have:

- Recovery mode

- Download mode

- Fastboot mode

The phone is in a boot loop though. It flashes the LG logo on and off. The phone isn't being detected by the computer.

I hope someone can help me.

Kind regards.

Hoessein
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjskraju:
This is not to dampen your spirit but if it is not detected by computer then it is very hard to get it back to life. But I guess it is not detecting by computer because it is not fully loading(at least some of the necessary files loading). If you aren't able to get into download mode or fastboot mode, I guess you may try the method explained in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

Hope your device get back to normal following that thread, you need Ubuntu for that method to try, but that's(installing ubuntu) not a difficult.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hoesseinm:
Thank you for your answer. Onfurtantely that is not helping because for that manual the mobile needs to be detected by the computer.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjskraju:
Then I suggest you to completely switch off the phone(I hope you already done that) & leave it for some time and then try it after some time. Did you use the proper stock recovery when going from TWRP to stock recovery(I mean the recovery that is intended for your phone model)?. What I think is that as long as it is seeing some sort of life(it is going as far as LG Logo), there is a hope that it can be recovered. I think some thing is messed up in recovery or boot or one of those partitions that are checked during the boot.

I'm curious about switching from lte to 3g, will i really save any battery? Or do I need to install a custom modem?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i get my best battery life on lte. i had the n4, it doesnt officially come with lte, but can be enabled. anyways, as soon as i started using lte on my n4, i gained an hour of screen on time as opposed to using 3G(hspa+). i want from 4 hours screen on time, to 5 hours. and on my nexus 5, i use lte exclusively, i dont even ever use wifi, and i see 5-6 hours screen on time every day. then again, it would depend on your signal quality.

In my house I have 4/4 bars signal with H and 2/4 bars with LTE.

In that case LTE is still the best option?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it can be. generally, when using data, lte is more efficient. it spends less time downloading/uploading, therefor uses less battery. if data speeds are better using lte than they are with your 3g, then lte would be better to use.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leviatano:
I have more battery drain on lte... I think 3g is faster enough
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
The fastest connection with the best signal should save you the most battery.

Wifi is much shorter range so needs less power to maintain a connection. Considering most people have fast Wifi it will usually be the most efficient.

I had the best battery on LTE when I went to London for a few days. Gained a hour screen on time easily with very strong coverage throughout most of central London apart from the underground obviously lol
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i did an experiment on lte/3G battery life in the trinity thread a few days ago, same usage and setup. on lte i had 5.5h sot, on 3G(h/h+) i had 4.5h sot. using lte gains me an hour sot, using 3G i lose an hour sot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
When using a 3G connection does it constantly jump between 3G and H+ for you also? Seems to be based on load and I'm assuming normal operation.

I need to keep testing this but lately I am finding 3G/H+ (7-15Mbps) connection to be similar in battery use to my older wireless G (15Mbps) network.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
for me it jumps from h to h+ when i access data, but thats how its supposed to work. the 3G/H will be used when not needing to access data, H+ will be used when accessing data, unless H+ isnt available. besides that, it doesnt jump back and forth at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thesebastian:
In my case I'm having better battery with HSPA than with LTE.

The thing is...here in my house I have yellow/brown 4G signal and green 3G signal.

In a long deep sleep time (at nights) 4G consumes a bit more than 3G.

But during the day the difference is a little more significant.

I can get 4 hours of SoT with 3G. But 3 hours with LTE (or 3 hours and half).

I'm pretty sure that with a perfect LTE signal I would even have better battery life (like almost 5 hours of SoT).

But here is still experimental.

i'm looking for a nice 3.5mm male to male cable with mic and controls(play/pause, volume up/down, next/previous track)

it must work with android phones(i have the d802).

this is the "best" i have found yet, it is branded(not chinese cheap) and has mic + controlls, within my price range:

I have tried a couple and ended up 3 different times having to restore to factory to get my kindle to boot back up normal. What I would like to do is have the ability to use the google play store as well as keep my amazon loader and amazon store just because i think its easier for what i do. I know i need to root my device and prob add a 2nd bootloader. My problem is i don't see one that says that it will work with 8.4.8 or im just dumber then i think i am. I have seen some posts that say they have been successful in this venture but used different options then are stated that really makes it more confusing. I can follow a procedure just need to know which ones to use. Thanks For anybodies help....

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
The old procedure works with 8.4.8 so don't worry about that, the problem with it is that the current freedomboot image is incompatible with 8.4.8, it will bootloop into twrp, so you have two options, don't install 2ndbootloader+twrp until a update comes out, or the easier option, flash a rom on it like cm. If you decide to flash a custom rom on it then remember to put it on the device ahead of time or you will have to push it onto the device with "adb push" from a command line.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
You can still use the Google play store as long as it is rooted, also as to the method there are 2, one is for people not familiar with command line, while the other is purely from command line. While I am completely comfortable with command line myself, I used the fire flash method, the only thing you have to make sure you don't skip is the part where you check the box either above or beside the red warning text or you will have a nice red screen brick on reboot that usually you can recover from. Somehow people don't see that checkbox. Either way the bootloader has to be downgraded first, if you do it the command line way you will definitely want to md5sum the file to make sure it is a perfect downloaded copy of the original or risk a hard brick. The guides on how to do it are here:
