[Moto X Q&A] mh0520:
The update for search is probably a staged rollout. It usually is. I didn't see it either but I downloaded the apk and sideloaded it. I can't recall from where, though.

I'm still on 4.4.2 and I can uninstall updates. I'm not sure how far back I can go though. I guess they didn't remove this blacklist on hotword in 4.4.3. Here's hoping maybe they'll consider it with the L version of android.
[Moto X Q&A] rupterr:
Ok..thanks, I still don't see it yet. If your on 4.4.2 you can certainly go back to a version of Search that still has the option to enable hotword. My only recourse is to wait for L or an update to Search that lets you enable it on the Moto X. I still have "Ok Google Now", which is fine, but I prefer Google Hotword in some instances.

I'm noticing in language and input that the default android keyboard is missing ? Now there's only the 2 google options. Could this have something to do with it ? I'm on 4.4.4 with my Droid Maxx. I lost all touchless control about a day after joining the soak test for 4.4.4( Ive spoken to moto and they are willing to send me a new phone. However Im unlocked and don't want a new phone. I've tried every single fix i could find online and none have worked. I also just noticed there's 2 Voice recognizers. Is this normal ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ApokrifX:
Guys,

I’ve spent some time trying to figure it out, hopefully somebody finds it useful. :o

Adding 1st one is no brainer, obviously.

To add another one use Setting | Accounts | Add account on regular android.

I’m on rooted 8.4.3 with all gapps (AccountAndSyncSettings.apk is installed of course).

Use adb to get to the same screen:

adb shell am start -n com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/com.android.settings.ManageAccountsSettings

You’ll see familiar Accounts & sync settings screen with Add account button at the bottom.

Alternatively, you can follow this thread

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Someone has done a Transplant Surgery. Put the motherboard of T999 into a I9300 case.

You need to treat the phone as a T999 despite what it says on the case.

We seem to be seeing a lot of these "Franken-phones".:silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Probably a lot of people are replacing the housing (few bucks on ebay and elsewhere) so they can sell it as "like new" or something. Thats my guess anyway.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Farooq Ch:
is there any way to know its body is changed or not ? i think its a refubrished phone ? should i return this phone because shopkeeper challenged me that its not a refubrished phone
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Doc! Good to hear from you man :D

You just confirmed it by flashing t999 firmware in Odin, otherwise it would've failed or bricked the phone, it was either the motherboard or housing as Doc said
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I wouldn't bother with trying for a return if it were me. You know it's a T999, so as long as you treat it as such, you should be fine. Up to you of course, but seems like it'd be a hassle and not much fun or return. And it could be that it is new and simply was a mistake at the factory. New employee grabs wrong box of parts type scenario. ...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Farooq Ch:
when this phone came it was rooted and model no showing in the about phone was " gt i9300 ". now i flashed stock rom 4.3 for t999 it shows t999 in about phone.. ? is this possible that t999 having rom for gt i9300 ? or gt i9300 have rom for t999?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It's easy enough to change what it reads in the about phone menu. I believe simply changing the build.prop value will do that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
This^^ very easy to do do, I am currently running a ROM for i-9505 and changed it to show my original M919.. Now this two phones you can flash Roms vice versa, i9300 and t999, will brick!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Good to see you back Doc!

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] Best if you treat the phone as T999. I know you can make it look like I9300. But don't ever accidentally flash any of the I9300 stuff.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Farooq Ch:
i have tried flashing i9300 rom when i didnt know the orignal model .. nothing hapend i tried many time to flash i9300 stock rom but it didnt brick my phone . it just get off and dont show any thing .. i tried some methods from internet it went to download mode again ... i think flashing other roms for all s3 model dont brick your phone. ? i dont think flashing t999 to my mobile confirms it that it is t999 motherboard.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If it's a t999, only T999 firmware will flash. Official firmware from any other model should fail.

And you cannot just flash any other S3's roms. I9300 and any US model are quite different from each other. The most compatible is the I747 from ATT. Other models require more work to port to our T999.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zhinkk:
Woah. This thread just opened my eyes. I bought a I9300 phone off of ebay in a "unopened - new" condition. It came in the original box and everything (which I now know he/she just repackaged it). When I got it, I tried to flash a stock I9300 rom on it. It failed, saying "wrong dev" type. And I soft bricked it.

Now, I thought this was all my fault. I booted into download mode and it said "T999" so I thought I installed the wrong bootloader and messed it up. I opened a support thread, which had over three pages of replies. Everyone told me to get a new motherboard because I installed the wrong bootloader. Everytime I tried to flash a stock I9300 rom, it said "wrong dev_type" in download mode. Nothing flashed. I thought my phone was permanently screwed up so I returned it to the seller and he refunded me. So I didn't even have to return it... could have just flashed a T999 stock rom (maybe..).

NOW I realize, my phone was probably ACTUALLY a T999. I could have probably fixed the soft brick by just flashing a stock T999 rom. Woah. I was just flashing the WRONG stock rom the whole time? Because I thought I had a I9300?

Maybe I'm getting this all wrong, but nobody in the 3 page support thread even brought up the idea of me having a T999. This is just mind blowing.

Regardless, I now have a brand new T999 phone. That I purchased as a "T999 phone" not a "I9300-actually-a-T999-phone".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Well I guess recoveries have been updated to prevent the bricks between this phones, but this was definitely a problem before, saw too many people bricking their phones because they flashed i9300 ROMs on t999.. Either way it just won't work
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grafgever:
Hi there,

Long time lurker on the forums here, and have been browsing around the whole day to find a solution to my problems without luck :(.

Yeasterday I received my Galaxy Note 3 (N900T), but I had very poor reception, I thought this was because the N900T was appearantly a US model which I wasn't aware of, but since hardware was the same I decided a custom rom might fix things up.

I installed the latest CM 11 nightly and appropriate google apps but without any luck (reception still bad)

Then I decided to install the origional 4.4.2 firmware for T-mobile N900T, now the reception and everything works just fine, but I get a bunch of errors that google app x (youtube, playstore etc) have stopped working, so I get alot of these pop-ups and can't use the playstore.

I thought: Ok I just need to install the latest Gapps for the 4.4.2 version, there's where the problem comes in. When I booted into recovery it would boot into the standard android recovery and not CWM recovery. I couldn't do anything in the normal recovery mode to install gapps. So I managed to download the rom manager through my browser and just installed that without the playstore, after this i installed the recovery, found out my root was undone after the patch.

I then downloaded the chainfire thingy and flashed it with odin, which all worked fine and I managed to root my phone again. When opening SuperSU it says there was some 'KNOX thingies remaining which I said ok take away. After this I installed the CWM recovery, and said: Launch ClockworkMod recovery so I could install the new version of Gapps there. However: This is where it gets stuck in a loop trying to launch the bootloader, and I was unable to get into the bootloader. The only way to stop the bootloader loop was to take out the battery, boot into download mode and cancel the download mode after which my phone would continue to boot normally.

After this I tried to flash the 4.3 version of android with odin, and even reflashing the current 4.4.2 version, but I can't flash any roms with odin anymore as it gives me the Fail! Auth. error everytime in odin.

If anybody could help me that would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grafgever:
Just to clarify:

I am still working on this, I downloaded Goomanager and installed TWRP recovery, but no luck, my phone will simply get stuck in a loop when i try to boot it into recovery. I can still startup my phone normally, but it's quite useless without gapps.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, I really feel lost on this one :/
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaimyLuca:
Maybe its too late but I wonder if it would have helped if you install another kernel when you had CM11. Maybe that would have had solve the problems with the reception? I'm a total noob at this, so I don't know, its just something that I thought of.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] locn:
Not sure but when i upgraded my N9006 to KitKat and tried to root it using cf-auto-root for my phone it went into a boot loop. I ended up using the one designed for N9005 as it specifically stated it was made for the 4.4 boot loader. I'm guessing the other ones are for 4.3?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grafgever:
I managed to flash the philz recovery with odin, I got the phone working now, except when I make a call I'll loose all mobile network signal afterwards. Unsure how to solve this. Could I flash a European stock firmware to my n900t?
[HTC One SV] austin316281:
I got my one SV k2_cl from boost a little over a month ago and got the bootloader unlocked and rooted, working fine until one morning it wouldn'tmake calls or texts. I tried to factory reset and when I tried to boot got stuck at the HTC logo. Took me 2 weeks to get it to even flash a Rom on here that will somewhat work. I've got WiFi and partial 3g 4g connectivity but no voice at all. When I try to use the phones its activation tool-error, tried manually programming phone- nothing. I'm stumped. Can someone please help me out here. Don't want to have to buy another phone if I can help it. The only guess I've got at the moment is that if I could get a stock original rom to flash I'd be good to go probably and just hold out on doing anything else to it until after the kitkat ota is launched. The few stock roms I've tried either wouldn't download for some reason or just won't flash right. Thanks in advance for any help guys. I've always been more of a hardware geek more so than software but I can usually muddle through following guides of course. :)
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
I'm not much into boost, but did you try to flash the available RUU?
[HTC One SV] austin316281:
help...

As a matter of fact I have tried that and unfortunetly the installer locked up on a reboot of the phone because the phone wants to do the "Android is upgrading # of #" on every boot. That was why I was thinking since adb/fastboot and the HTC One Toolkit all sorta work that if I could get ahold of a working stock rom to flash on there and I have a stock CWM backup still on my laptop from when I first got the phone rooted and everything working. But of course thanks for the tip anyway. I wish that would work. It seems to be the easiest way to install back to stock.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
Do you think it's a possible that we will get a Google Play edition? I'm hoping yes, there's already a Google Play edition of the Z Ultra, but I think it hasn't sold well, so maybe Sony won't bother anymore? What do you guys think? :confused: Sony's skin is not bad per se but the only thing they do better than stock android is the camera app , which is horrible on nexus devices :crying:

It would be nice to have stock android and quick updates, sony is maybe the worst of all major android manufacturers when it comes to updates :/
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyleSforza:

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
But it's just bug fixes, they haven't proved they can bring android updates quick .

After I played around with a One (M8) , I gotta say I'm really impressed by sense 6 ,with the launcher being the exception I would say I like it more than stock android and that's saying a lot, it's cohesive and it looks modern ,unlike Sony's ui, it looks a bit dated :'( it's cohesive (unlike stock android ) but it's just me, the only thing that makes it look good are the comparisons with Touchwiz and LG's ui (they're both beyond ugly )

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatguy666:
Haven't used the Z2 but I did have a wee play about with the Z1 and it was pretty close to stock Android so can't see why Sony would bother releasing a Google Play edition.

I used CM on my S3 as I hated Touchwiz but don't think it will be necessary, for me at least, to do that with the Z2. Maybe root it to get xposed framework running but that'll probably be as far as I go.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
There will most likely be a Google Play edition. But honestly, I think a google play edition of a Sony phone is pointless - you loose all the best features that make an Xperia device, well.. an Xperia. If you want a pure google experience, with no Walkman, Album, X-Reality, Bravia etc. - you'll probably be better off buying a Nexus 5.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chad_Petree:
I don't care about any of those things to be honest :( but I do care about the battery life (which with my use is terrible on the nexus 5) and the camera quality

Hi, I want to know if anyone has a mod or a guide how to maximized the highest manual brightness above the limit.

Auto brightness with direct sun-light accomplishes to make the screen a lot brighter than the maximum manual brightness.

I read on the internet that there is some build.prop modifications that increase the brightness but no luck of finding specific guide how to do that.

Thanks in advance!

Hardly, I need to make the manual birghtness to increase above the limit of samsung. The screen is a lot brighter on auto-brightness when there are sunlight on the screen and I want that 100% brightness will be that value and not a darker one.

If it helps there is a file that called "actual_brightness" on "\sys\class\backlight\panel":

If I'm at maximum manual brightness the value on this file is 300,

If I'm at auto-brightness (+5) with strong light on the sensor, the value increase up to 400.

[LG G Flex] deadenz:
with the flex not having external sd card capabilities, is there a way to partition the internal storage so I can save things to that partition and not lose anything on that particular partition if I soft bricked and had to go back to stock with lg flash tool? I hope you guys understand my question.. or if any other option to accomplish what I want please inform me. or would my best option be to save everything to dropbox? or something else better if you can recommend something.
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
Not sure what you're asking. When you lgflash to stock you dint lose anything unless you reset after and then it's just user data and not pictures, music, etc. In a side note I use drop box with my 50gb I got from having my note 2
[LG G Flex] deadenz:
think about it like it's a computer question.. partition a hard drive so I have 2 partitions. one to keep backup stuff on and when I format the main partition with windows I don't lose anything from the other partition...
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
I understand what you're asking completely...without a custom recovery, custom Roms, etc there's not gonna be a mod like that available. Dropbox is your best bet and has the auto upload feature for all videos and pics taken with the option to only do so when on wifi/Or data. I personally use the hell outta of online storage like that cuz I'll download an album, file, movie etc on the fly, upload it to Dropbox and then download it to my tablet later or my computer to sync with various devices and so on
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
I get you now op.

This right here. I love some dropbox, plus with only 32GB (20ish) user available you would run out of space very quickly. Again though if you're mainly worried about losing everything with a soft brick the lgflash tool doesn't touch the data partition it your sdcard so you'll be okay there
[LG G Flex] deadenz:
What SD card ?
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
The internal sd card. The phone already has 6 partitions. This is a good read for basics of how it's set up.
