[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chintuvishnu:
Hi Guys,

I am really disappointed with this. I got a new HTC desire 601 on koodo and unlocked it. When I insert wind sim card it says (windaway) and it doesn't work. what I learned is wind operates in different AWS band.

But when I went to wind store and checked out their version of wind mobile, it shows same model and same frequency.

I suppose there is some software tweak for this to enable the frequency for wind mobile to work.

Any help would be appriciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Vishnu.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopperCNC:
I know it's several months late, but here's what I found...

I have an HTC One M8 (from Koodo) and on the stock ROM, it wouldn't show any AWS networks.

However, after I installed CM11, they appeared in the list of available networks.

So, if the Desire 601 is anything like the M8, it may just be the stock ROM preventing you from using the AWS band.

I dunno if it's safe to flash Wind's RUU onto a Telus device (given it's S-OFF), but it may be worth a try!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nikalsaki:
I didn't feel like browsing through a ton of pages on the rumrunner forum. And I'm posting this in the Q&A section as this is a question.

Has rumrunner been updated to work with the Verizon HTC One with OTA 4.4.2? I am aware that I probably should have rooted before I accepted the OTA 4.4.2 update, but if I knew that it'd be awhile before I was able to root, I would've rooted and installed a 4.4.2 stock ROM.

Thanks.

No it has not and it mostly likely will not untill August.

In the same vein...

In the same vein, does anyone know if Firewater is supposed to work with the same version (4.4.2, Hboot 1.56)? I haven't had any luck, but I'm not sure if that's because of my set up or just because it's not supported.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
it wont work, the temp root that firewater uses was patched int he 4.4.2 release.

for firewater to work we need an unlocked bootloader from HTC (which VZW asked nicely to remove)

Going to have to wait for another exploit to surface.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Vidfreek:
Yeah I've tried every thing and nothing works, I got my HTC One exchanged a couple of weeks ago because the one I had just shut off and fried itself, I got the new one with 4.3 not realizing that it was actually rootable and I ended up taking the 4.4.2 update since I figured it wouldnt matter, sucks I was wrong and now have to wait quite a while as well. shame that something is there but they are waiting almost 5 months to do anything with it, but what can you do?

What ticks me off the most is Verizon, every other carrier has no issues with rooting the HTC One, why does Verizon care? I'll just never get it, its our fault and we void the warranty and we know this, other carriers know this and dont care, why Verizon WHY? :mad:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nty123:
you could do what I'm leaning forward to doing, just call verizon and say that you have a purple camera tint problem and its really annoying, they should send u a refurbished one free or charge. of course, you have to send your current one in but it's not like they check or anything so it's pretty much full proof. got many refurbished phones that way, but it was not to get 4.3 or any other "rootable" software.the phones actually had problems.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
this plan has worked for some members here. remember to tell them that you would not like them to update the software because that was the root cause to the purple tint ( not the truth but they will honor your request)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nty123:
Ha ok sure will, thanks.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Kitkat can now be unlocked for the vzw using the weaksauce exploit to get temp root. After getting temp root firewater will work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Can confirm. Did it a few hours ago.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Youngtusk:
I've been trying for days to get it to work. Temproot works(verified with Root Checker), push and chmod works, but then when trying to run temproot I get this error:

The fact that it worked for you gives me hope, but any idea why I'm having trouble?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nty123:
are you running the temp-root method? weak sauce is the "temp-root" therefore you should be using the normal method of firewater s-off
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ccarr313:
Install weaksauce apk, get it here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2699091

Then use firewater to get s-off. Profit.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Youngtusk:
I've tried both methods, with weak sauce and without it using the temproot method. So far, no Bueno.

Think it would make a difference if I reset my device to factory? Maybe I've messed with it too much for these simple processes to work?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
Might not be a bad idea. You can always backup the sd card before you do that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mgullvik:
I was hoping the ATT S5 would get UMTS 900 and LTE Band 20 (Europe Digital Dividend 800 Mhz), I was disappointed to see that it does not.

I live 45 min. North, Northwest of Philly and AT&T is the best carrier in PA - HANDS DOWN! I also travel every week, all over the US for work - and I'm very happy with AT&T in general. One thing I noticed on my S4 is that I could not get LTE in Burlington, VT on it - but I had full bars of LTE on my iPad Air. Side question; What band does ATT use for LTE there that the S4 don't support?

Anyways,

on the S4 I was able to activate AWS freq. for UMTS by flashing it. I need to do this for UMTS 900 and/or (pref. AND :) LTE Band 20, since I travel to Northern Norway all the time - and there is only UMTS 900 and LTE 20 some places there.... If I cannot have the phone flashed to have the current bands AND the wanted bands - would there be a way to flashing it back and forth from ATT to "Euro/International" mode?

M:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
AT&T uses bands 2, 4, 5, & 17 for LTE. Band 17 (700mhz) is what most of their LTE is on. That's why the signal is always good. I am starting to see Band 2 (1900mhz) in some areas. I saw Band 4 (AWS) in Chicago in a few areas (probably were capacity is weak).

Yes, with the S4 you could unlock the AWS frequencies. I do not know if you could flash UMTS 900 with an S4. You will not be able to flash anything with frequencies on the S5 as AT&T has locked down the phone entirely. It will follow in the Note 3's footsteps.

I think they discourage people unlocking their devices and using them on other networks. AT&T is forgetting what GSM is all about IMO. If AT&T LTE is not that important to you, you may want to consider the international variant which will support your European frequencies. It will NOT work on AT&T LTE though.

Hope I helped. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mgullvik:
AT&T is most important, as I am in the US 95% of the time. At least the S5 will have LTE 1800 and 2600. My hometown in Norway should get LTE 1800 later this year. So at least I will have GSM 900, UMTS 2100 and LTE 1800.

Do you, or anyone else know if AT&T will unlock Phones on the Next plan? I got the S4 full price, but I'm using the Next plan for the S5.

M
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
They'll unlock it if its paid off entirely. But that doesn't mean you can't unlock it yourself.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hathalud:
So I've been play with Android for a few years now and I love it. Got the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 in the fall of 2012 and had a custom rom installed not long after. Periodically I check XDA to see if there is a new custom ROM I want to try. Finally there is, OMNIRom. It says I need a recovery image that can handle the new SELinux. After poking around for an easy way to update I findout that the goo.im has a new recovery that it will install. And that's where things go south. I installed the new TWRP v2.6.3.0 via the goo.im and then reboot into the recovery. I go to flash the new ROM and it fails. I try downloading the ROM again and flashing it. It fails again. Okay, shouldn't be a problem... I'll just flash my prior rom. It too fails. Uh-oh.... If I try to boot normally, it just loads directly to the faulty TWRP. If I try to boot to the bootloader so I can use Heimdall to flash over a new recovery, it boots to TWRP....

I found a new recovery in a ZIP format finally and tried to use that, but it fails too.

Any advice? Suggestions? Please help.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Crooke356:
I just had mine swapped for three backlights on the right side of the screen shining through. When compared to the display unit, you could tell that in those 3 spots, the display was adhered to the glass. I could tell because where the lights were on my screen, there were 3 black tabs where the light ever so slightly leaked around. So, mine must not have been adhered properly, hence the light shining through and slightly lighting up the right side of the display when viewing in the dark. At first, when I explained the why I wanted to swap, they began to protest. Once I explained the depth of the defect and how it effected my experience, they didn't hesitate. I think that as long as you go in with a good explanation and a way to make the pixel most visible, you shouldn't have any problems. Also, you have a defective device. Is that your fault? Why should you pay to have a brand new defective device replaced. Even if they try to raise a fuss, if you bring up the point that you didn't just pay however much you paid to get a device with defects, you'll walk out with a new, non defected device. Also, check the new one in store, right in front of them. Just a heads up, the rep I dealt with today, said they would be reselling my defected device as a like new refurbished device. According to the rep, there would be no repairs. The defects have to be a "certain amount of noticeable"... I don't want to believe this but you never know. Good luck!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tonytownsend:
Yeah, I'll try it, I was reading that when the screens are inspected they let one or two pixels slide by for European and American markets. In Asia people are very picky about dead pixels and they don't let any slide.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Crooke356:
Lol, they shouldn't let them slide..or I should join the Asian community. I pay $650 for a device, I'm not gonna live with a dead pixel.. I do admire those who can.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tonytownsend:
Got it replaced, this one has a little spec of dust under the screen. I can live with it I guess. Oh well it sucks. 5 phones later I guess I can live with this one.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Crooke356:
Damn dude. That sucks. I know it's not the biggest issue...but it's there. You've been through 5? I went through 5 Nexus 5's . Took 2 months because of shipping. I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna live with the bottom of the right side of my speaker sticking out above the screen. I saw guy who works at VZW say that half the M8's he's come across have that. So I think I'll just stick with this one... Where's the dust at?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] tonytownsend:
At the top middle can't tell if it's a pixel or dust looks more like dust to me
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] seven30:
Just noticed a stuck pixel on mine in the upper left hand corner. Stuff like this drives me crazy so I'm going to try to exchange it today. Hopefully it goes as smoothly as yours did (without anymore defects though lol).
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Kabimaus:
I am wondering about how the GPS performs on the Tegra Note 7 in comparison to Nexus 7 (2013). I read on occasions that people were unhappy about how long it takes for the Tegra Note 7 to obtain a fix and that it more often loses position. Is this an issue that has been resolved in the meantime ? If so, do you have to update the ROM to get it to work well?

Reason why I'm asking is that I'm a pilot and I would like to use it to display maps. I hear the Nexus7 has excellent GPS performenace and does a great job in the cockpit because its brightest screen among all tablets but I'm really into that stylus function and so I was hoping the Tegra Note 7 could compete...
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] tsbrewers:
While I have never used a Nexus, the GPS on the note is horrible. I literally have never gotten google maps to find me. I have had 3rd party apps like gpstest and similar to work, but I am not kidding when I say it takes 10 minutes out in the wide open to work. As of right now, there are no roms or updates to the tablet that improve the GPS. Some people's work ok, but I think the majority of the people are not happy with their gps.

Side by side with my old Evo3d, the phone takes literally about 3 seconds to find me, the tablet takes 10 minutes if at all.

Brew
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Kabimaus:
Thanks a lot, that's a very convincing reason not to consider the Tegra Note an option for GPS related applications.:rolleyes:
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] tsbrewers:
No problem. after I posted that I did spend about 3 hours playing around with it. I did get gps to work better, but still not anywhere near where it should be.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] philje123:
I have found it gets a signal very quickly even inside.

Did you go into settings>location and enable high accuracy?
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] tsbrewers:
Yup, it is on high accuracy. I did just download a hacked, older version of maps that does actually work, but it still takes about 3 minutes to lock on. But at least it does find lock, unlike the newest version of maps.

It is more the principal of it then anything. I doubt I will ever pull the tablet out to use gps on it since my phone works well with the Igo app and my vehicle has built in gps too, so it isn't the end of the world, but it is still annoying.

Brew
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] rowan45:
Gps problem on Tegra Note 7

I bought this tablet primarily to use for gps mapping and also have problem. If the tablet is turned on and a mapping app is opened before the screen display is allowed to shut down it finds the location quite quickly unless it is a long distance from its previous location when it can take a good few minutes, maybe 10 to find its location. I think the latter is not uncommon in gps devices. My Garmin is similar.

Once it has started tracking it will keep a gps fix for about an hour before losing it provided the screen display is kept on . If the screen display is shut down by timing out or by closing the dedicated case/ cover the ONLY way I have found to restore a gps fix is to shut down the tab, re-boot and start the app up again before the screen display shuts down, which is quite irritating.

My presumption is that GPS and screen display are linked somewhere in the system but whether this is hardware or software I have no idea.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] :
Hello,

I recently purchased an i9305T 2nd hand but I am continually getting network errors with my Vaya (Optus) Sim.

I have not been able to get mobile data to work at all, using various configurations.

I have tried flashing a custom rom (CM Nightlies) and flashed various modem packages but still the same problem. I can send & receive texts and calls for a few mins, but then it comes up with network unavailable and nothing will work.

I'm not sure if the phone is locked, and at one point I figured it was locked so I purchased an unlock code but I can't use it as I am unable to use ANY USSD codes (I have tried heaps) except for the one to check my IMEI (Which is fine).

PLEASE HELP ME!!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttheodorou:
i can confirm that it is the cable. just go buy a new one but have in mind that you need a quality cable. the reason is that the usb 2 standard outputs about 1 amp, so most cable is designed with that in mind. the nexus 4 charger output is 1.2 amp so if the charger cannot output 1.2 amp it outputs lower amp thus the connection with the charger is recognized as usb. if you go and buy a quality cable then you will have no problems. i just use the cable of my old phone (optimus black ) and it works like a charm. another cable that i have make the usb thingy.

the lg cable of nexus 4 and all the new lg's is ****. it break down very easily. a friend of mine bought an lg g pad 8.3 and the cable died the 4 time that he used it!!!

P.S. when i say quality cable i don't mean a 30 euroes or dollars cable. i mean a cable by a known brand and not an ebay 1 euro cable. that didn't worked for me. if i knew a brand of cable that worked i would but i use an old lg cable

If you have a custom kernel that supports forcing AC charging, give that a try. I think the latest Hells Core/Doctor kernels offer that feature.
