[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdfgsteve:
Ok, I tried the MB2 modem from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2031575 , but that didn't make any difference. I also tried changing one of the build.prop settings for the downswitching, and that didn't work either.

Anyone got any ideas? I really don't want to be stuck on the crappy Samsung software :(

[Networking] buuster:
I have the T-Mobile MDA and thinking of getting their $29.99 unlimited internet plan. Can it use my phone as a modem with this plan on my laptop to get on the net?
[Networking] Rudegar:
sure a google for "xda as modem pdf"

gave this

http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_spec.html

but it may be flatrate but that dont change the fact that

it's soo slow it's close to useless imho
[Networking] rambo6:
You can use your phone as a modem with settings you can get over the internet. However at 60 to 130 kbps, its pretty slow.

I was with Verizon where I could hook up much higher speeds.

One good thing about T-mobile is that with the $29.99 plan, you can use their Hot Spots. If your laptop has WiFi, you can hook up directly at broadband speeds without the phone. Software and instructions are available at their website. This is not bad as their are hotspots in all FedEx/Kinkos, Starbucks, and many hotels. In Germany, the hotspots are everywhere.

Hookng up your laptop via a DUN (Dial Up Networking) connection with TMO works if you're in a pinch but it's slow. If you're going to hook up often, I'd go verizion with an HTC Apache (xv6700). The data plan will cost you about $49 per month.
[Moto X Q&A] kicker22004:
I have the RW version and unlocked with the China man... My question is once I take the OTA will it relock my bootloader?? And if I relock it can I use the same code to unlock it again? And last can I still use the sbf file on this phone or must I manually flash the partitions? Thanks guys
[Moto X Q&A] southern87:
No it will not relock it it. Once the flags are triped there is no going back to locked. Just relocked
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
I've been wondering this too. The last phone I had (Google Galaxy Nexus) was unlocked and rooted running CM 10.1 and then CM 11 so it never received the OTA's. But mine and my wife's Moto X Developer Editions are both unlocked and rooted but running stock 4.4.2.

As I understand it we'll still receive OTA's correct? Once we do there is a chance they will lock back up and we'll lose root correct? The reason I say chance is because both phones are setup through Titanium to "attempt" to keep root and I know it doesn't always work.

I'm assuming the bootloader gets relocked? If it does how do we go about unlocking and rooting them again? Will the codes we got from Motorola work or do we need to go through the entire process of unlocking then rooting?

Sorry for the newb questions. Like I said, every phone I ever unlocked and rooted I put custom ROMs on them so I never got the OTA's.
[Moto X Q&A] kicker22004:
Yeah I've read about it going to relock if I do it.. But can a ota update relock it.. And if it did.. Will my code still work.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Yes, you can flash using either RSDLite or fastboot/mFastboot

If you do relock your bootloader, yes the same code will work to unlock it later.

And... already said here -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51363645&postcount=394
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
So, I'd need to reinstall all the bloatware that came on the phone originally? That's pretty much all I took off the phone was all of Verizon's crap that I'll never use nor have any interest in. The only other thing I did was edit the navigation keys out using the build.prop, but that's easy enough to turn back on. My phone as well as my wife's are stock aside from the removal of the bloatware and taking the nav keys out of my phone.
[Moto X Q&A] kicker22004:
Thanks kid. I've just read mixed messages about bricking my device from ota updates and sbfs. Thanks again.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
When it comes to taking OTA's, yes.

Inside the OTA is a manifest file. It contains a list of files and their check sums it expects to be on your phone. If the files are missing, or the check sum for a particular file doesn't match (because you've replaced or altered the file), the OTA will fall. Because of this, you must be "stock" (or as close to stock as possible). Any bloat you deleted, needs to be put back. Any files you altered (like build.prop) need to be reverted. Any apps you froze with Titanium Backup or the like, may need to be unfrozen.

Apps disabled via the phone's Settings -> Applications -> [select app] -> [disable] can remain disabled and should not impact the update.

---------- Post added at 06:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------

Yes, there are some cautions and warnings about bricking... They usually relate to if you've taken 4.4.2 and try to downgrade your rom to 4.4 or lower. Or if you flash only parts of a rom using mFastboot and get into a state when you have "mixed" versions on your phone...

Due to changes in the bootloader included with the 4.4.2 Update, under certain circumstances when trying to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.4 or lower, you could either brick your phone, or set it up to brick in the future when you take an upgrade. So it is suggested you just stick with what is on your phone once you get on 4.4.2.
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
Well damn, I'm kind of screwed then as I deleted all those dumbass Verizon apps that I have no use for and didn't bother making backups of any of them. I'll have to check the "Apps" folder and see if the .apk files are still there so that Google Play can redownload them at some point.

I don't even think the backup I made via TWRP has them. Although I think Motorola's website does have the system image so I can probably just reflash that when the next OTA comes out.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
TWRP.. then you have an unlocked bootloader? If so, you do have the option to flash the SBF to revert to stock, or unzip it and just mfastboot flash system.img onto your phone, because you can always re-root later.
[Moto X Q&A] The Tallest:
Yes, my boot loader is unlocked. That's good to know that I can do that, thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] kicker22004:
Wait... Did I miss read that... You can flash sbf in TWRP?? sorry but I've been on Gnex and haven't had a moto since the droid x... Things have changed a bit.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Yes, you miss read.. I was saying that he could just flash the SBF (implying RSDLite) or unzip it and mfastboot flash "part"

because being unlocked he could still root afterwards
[Moto X Q&A] kicker22004:
OK that's what I thought. Thanks again for the info..looks like I'll sit tight with my unlocked bootloader until RW gets 4.4 update.

[T-Mobile LG G2] loaded!:
anyone else having terrible battery life since the 4.4.2 update?

I can't believe how fast my battery drains now with average use. I used to get through the day and would usually be at about 70% left when I plug in at midnight. It's 4pm now and I'm already at 52%.

I've really noticed over the last 4 or 5 days after doing the OTA update on the 22nd.

I am connected to wifi all day, bluetooth is on, gps off. reallly only used for a few short phone calls, some texting and bluetooth streaming on my commute. This is the same usage and settings as was before the update with excellent battery life.

Looked around but couldn't see anything about this... am I alone here.

thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2] demoncamber:
I'm also noticing what I think is bad battery life. But I just got the phone and updated to KitKat before I even played around so I have nothing to compare to.

But I'm getting close to what appears to 12 hours on moderate use. This is my first full day with the phone so I'll know more in a couple days.

[T-Mobile LG G2] unciviilized:
Has anybody found a solution for this battery drain? Im at 59% with 2hrs sot . My nexus 4 battery is better than this.
[T-Mobile LG G2] AspenSTi:
So far my average is around 2.5 hrs screen time at the 50% mark.

Today it was at 3 hrs screen time at 50% (14 hours total). This is my first day being rooted also. I've only had the phone for 8 days now however, not sure if it's normal or not. Coming from my gs4 it's a ton better!
[T-Mobile LG G2] unciviilized:
This is my second g2 the first one was on 4.2.2 and i remember that gave me almost 8 hrs sot on same settings

Hola Comrades,

it's my spring break and i thought i'd start a project to keep me busy.

I purchased a Sony Xperia Z - unlocked, and I'd like to figure out what I need to make it work on my boost mobile network.

I'm new so i dont have much except for time. would you know what I need to start to make this dream come true?

-cheers
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
for all i know you would need to take apart the phone and possibly change the components on the mainboard, which would be quite a difficult task ;S
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thetruejayj:
Do you think if i ripped out the old assembly from my original phone and inserted into the xperia, it would work?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hellscythe:
I highly doubt it. even if you did manage to piece it together, you would have to make kernel modifications yourself to compensate for the unorignal hardware. not saying it is impossible, but it will be A LOT of work. Also, i don't think anyone else has done this before, so you will have to think and design everything yourself!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00328:
Unless I'm mistaken, can't you go into the phone and type *#*#4636#*#* > Phone information, then change the network type?

It's in the drop down list, if that means anything? Not that I can test (UK doesn't use CDMA at all).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeokk:
I dont have any suggestion with Xperia Z. However, Xperia Z1 has SOL23 variant sold by "au" in Japan that has CDMA radio. I saw some unlock SOL23 being sold on the internet. If you get this device, you may have to modify only software related stuffs (since unlock ones have only GSM/LTE unlocked, not CDMA).

So I found this awesome app that converts your phone into a simple one menu interface that makes it really easy to navigate and use your phone in the car. It's called frontend car launcher. The download link is below, it's free by the way. It's highly customisable at looks pretty good too.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. bird:
After I updated my phone to 4.4.2 I lose service and have to restart my phone multiple times a day to get service back. I called T-Mobile and after resetting the phone they said they would replace it. Then I called Samsung and they said to bring it to best buy to have it reflashed. I can go there but I could also flash it via Odin at home. Now my question is, if I flash the stock rom via Odin will it trip the Knox counter? I read that it won't and I read that it can. I just want to make sure it won't before I flash it incase I have to have it repaired or replaced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Did you update it officially or via a ROM flashed in a custom recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. bird:
I updated ota. I haven't rooted this phone yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
I would try flashing the stock official update through Odin. That's pretty much what best buy is going to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. bird:
That's what I was thinking. I just wanted to make sure that wouldn't trip the Knox counter going through odin. I wouldn't think so but I read somewhere when I did a Google search that someone said it did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
So long as it's a 100 percent stock ROM it shouldn't. It only trips if system partition or a custom recovery are detected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. bird:
Well I flashed the stock rom from sammobile yesterday morning and so far so good. I haven't had a problem since. Tmobile said there is no way I could flash the firmware again even though I knew I could through odin, just wasn't sure if I used odin if it would trip the Knox counter. I didn't want to replace my phone that is in mint condition through tmobile and get who knows what in return so I called Samsung and they said to go to best buy to have it reflashed. I saved myself a trip by doing it myself. thank you elesbb for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Yeah, i hate getting replacements from them. I no longer have insurance as any repairs (aside from shattered screen, this denotes an upgrade :D ) i will just do myself. I have gotten replacements for my S3 through them and they ALL were horrible. I ended up having to take apart both phones when they sent me the new one and made a good working one out of it and reassembled the bad pieces into a bad phone and sent that one back. Ha. It was pathetic. lol.

Always come here before swapping out your phone or anything. There is so much information available and helpful people anyone can really solve their own problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. bird:
Well I spoke too soon. I had to restart my phone again to get service back. The problem is still there. I had data but no cell service. Even if I turn airplane mode on then back off to reset it it still doesn't work. I have to restart my phone. Do you think it could possibly be a simple card issue? It started the day after I updated my phone when 4.4.2 came out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
It could be a SIM card issue. Do you have another phone you could test the SIM card with?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. bird:
I'm going to go to the tmobile store today to get a new one and hopefully that's it. I tried to get a replacement for my girlfriend's phone and got 3 that I sent back because they were worse and just kept hers so I don't want a replacement from them
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr. bird:
After replacing my SIM card on Friday, it's been good. I figured I'd give it a few days before I said something this time. It's weird that it happened right after I updated to kit kat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 6stringbass:
I've had SIM related issues before. Sometimes an older SIM card won't work correctly with a system update. With a new card problems disappear. Let's hope this is the case for you.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] madhitsblog:
in the same boat

Ever since I got the OTA Kit Kat my phone is in nightmare mode. Wifi wont stay on or ever even come on. Wake screen freezes and numerous other issues. I got same responses from TMO and Sammy and have spent 100 hours on here searching for HOW to fix. Ive used Odin 307 and 309 with various files CWM OUDHS, etc and never get anywhere. Just fails with "no PIT" errors every time.

Ive rooted phones before with NO problems , G2, and other HTCs, but Sammy driving me nuts.Im assuming its because I have 4.4.2

So your saying using Odin with a stock ROM will work? or errors again? samobile the site you need to pay to join right?

Ive seen THOUSANDS of people with SAME issues, various carriers as well as S4s and Nexus

Im so stinking frazzled from this

Hello. Months ago I debricked my device using a Riff Box JTAG.

Since then, my HOX won't turn on if I simply press and release the power button. Now I need to hold it, then the touch sensitive buttons area begins to flash 15 times. When it stops flashing I release the button and just press it again, then the phone turns on.

Eventually (1 out of 100) I notice this procedure is not needed and the phone turns on conventionally.

Have anyone else experienced this behavior?
