[Fire TV General] tarvoke:
ok here is a slightly-less incoherent form of the senior-moment-reply I posted earlier

several days ago it occurred to me to alternatively use sshd for terminal access, because:

-a) I feel a little unsafe leaving adb wifi enabled all the time (ok it's only a small thing to turn it on and off, but still) - and for security reasons there is no way to enable/disable it programmatically e.g. from a script/shell/terminal/app (well theoretically this is not exactly true, but practically it is)

-2) some people (i.e. me) would like to do shell/terminal remotely sometimes, rather than on the AFTV (and other people don't have/want a keyboard)

ssh access makes a great alternative to Term.apk, but the problem is:

- Term.apk and/or (pick your favorite android ssh server) don't have permission to run e.g. "pm install foo.apk" - it will fail. (btw 'pm' is a great command, take a look sometime at all the options. it shares a lot of functions as the adb command itself. 'am' is another fun command...)

- so, the hilarious workaround of enabling adb wifi, "adb connect", and then finally "adb shell" or "adb install" etc., is still required. (b/c the adb user is in the 'shell' group, among others - giving it permission to run /system/bin/pm) - oh well.

for random reference:

127|shell@android:/ $ id
uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),1028(sdcard_r),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)

uid=10009(app_9) gid=10009(app_9) groups=1015(sdcard_rw),1028,3003(inet),50009(app_40009)

(also note it appears the adb shell user might possibly have 'mount' abilities, but since the /dev/block/sd* nodes permissions' are really locked up, who knows...)

I accidentally clicked erase internal storage in tmrp recovery and deleted the whole os on the phone as well.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vasi.utziu:
Hello XDA!

After reading here that all verizon S4''s are network free, I bought an almost new one to use in Europe(Romania).

But even after i checked global everywhere , the phone says"NO SIM-insert sim card", and refuse to work at all, no voice, data wtatsoever. Also, i cant change the APN (but since there isnt even voice or sms, it isn relevant at this point)

Is there any tutorial for a newbie that i could folow to get the phone working in 3G?

Thank you very much. P.S. I'm on 4.3 stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tojikjon:
I have the same problem. It says no SIM when I put my country's SIM card. When I put ATT sim, the phone shows that there a SIM inside the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vasi.utziu:
its odd, since it is supposed to be a global device. Maybe flashing a custom ROM should remove the restriction?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
Sounds like you have a bad SIM, or perhaps something wrong with the way it's cut. My i545 works fine with European SIMs (other than the annoyance with the "Non-Verizon SIM" warning).

You can't change the APN since you don't have a SIM installed, and you can't use GSM without a SIM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vasi.utziu:
I tried three different sims, so this is not the problem...can you tell me exactly wich EU carrier sim you succesfully used?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
It's from eKit, which is Jersey Telecom (UK).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vasi.utziu:
eKit is CDMA? I tried a Giffgaff UK sim and it dont work-still no Sim error:( Frustrating
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
BTW, eKit is also gosim.com.

No, I'm not using CDMA - the service in the UK is all GSM. You install the SIM then set the phone to GSM mode to use it. I've used the eKit service for years, starting with my incredible 2 which is another CDMA/GSM hybrid phone.

When moving about, I get service from Vodaphone, O2, AT&T UK, and probably others. I really don't understand why your phone isn't recognizing the SIM.

Is the service in your country CDMA by any chance? You don't use a SIM to activate a CDMA phone, so perhaps what you have is some proprietary thing that's not a standard GSM SIM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tojikjon:
I fixed my problem by using a different SIM card. When I put it, it picked up the network automatically.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Dory2:
My Xda II connects fine to my laptop (HP dv1000 running on XP) using the USB plug from the cradle. I just got a Xda IIi on ebay that runs fine but won't connect! When I put it in the same cradle a message says "USB Device Not Recognised", Device Manager shows "Unknown device" and Activesync can't find it. The battery charges so the physical connection must be OK. I can't believe that the Xda II cradle doesn't also work for the Xda IIi. Any suggestions?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] christopherwoods:
From what I understand, the physical wiring of the USB section of docking connector differs between the XDA2i and the XDA2, so you're straight outta luck (unless you fancy doing some nifty resoldering to your XDA2 dock... But then you wouldn't be able to use your XDA2).

I might be wrong, but my (crap) memory seems to remember that the wiring differs (something I thought very odd, too).

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] samsat:
So I went into AT&T today with a view to getting the M8.

The M8 was along side the S5 and I though it strange that the screen on the S5 was so much brighter than the M8.

I went into the M8 settings to set the brightness to maximum but found it was already set.

As I turned the phone slightly sideways it suddenly got brighter.

I wear polarized glasses and in their wisdom HTC have made the polarizing of the display such that it is very dim when held in portrait mode.

This is not the case with my vivid or any other HTC phone I have owned.

Damn, I was so looking forward to getting the M8 but this of all things would be a deal breaker for me.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] bdpyo:
It's not that great out doors either
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TheEmpyre:
Hah, wow very interesting they did indeed polarize the display. Just went and tested myself. Being in Seattle doesn't lend itself to wearing sunglasses often but sure enough rotating the phone to landscape changes the effect.

Oh and outdoor usage isn't bad Imo just take off automatic brightness and Max it out and you're good. Automatic brightness on every Android phone I have owned has been nothing short of garbage lol. So manual adjustment is the way to go. Sorry you decided against the M8 it's a hell of a phone (coming from someone who switched from the S4)

Sent from my HTC One_M8
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] samsat:
Yes, it's a great pity. I have owned HTC devices for the last 7 or 8 years at least.

I have +2 magnifiers built into the bottom my sun glasses that I use everyday for driving and very often when I am out fly fishing.

I just happened to dash into the store this morning wearing them instead of my readers.

I would have been really unhappy if I only discovered this post purchase.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Moose3:
There might be two manufacturers for the screen? I've seen a few threads like this now.

I have no issues with any of my polarized sunglasses. Two are Maui Jim and one pair of Raybans.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Vcolassi:
I used my M8 today in the bright sun. I had no trouble seeing the screen at all. I don't wear glasses and have perfect vision though :o. It's much better than the AMOLED was on my Note 2.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] samsat:
Interesting. I think the other threads have been to do with color saturation/contrast issue variance between batches of M8's.

I think what we are dealing with here is not the display itself but the protective glass over it or a laminate which may have been applied to it.

My Vivid does not suffer from this problem at all. It would be interesting to get HTC's comment on this.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] c5satellite2:
Try different sunglasses. 3 different types of polarization mostly. Horizontal, vertical, and circular. Let's say the screen is horizontally polarized and the glasses are vertical, that would yield a very dim screen. Just try turning your glasses 90° and see if that works. Instead of blaming the phone, blame your glasses, or both:D
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] samsat:
Same prescription sun glasses work fine with all my other HTC's, Iphones, Samsung and others.

They don't work fine with the M8. What conclusion would you draw?

I was just in touch with HTC "technical" support to see if there could maybe be an issue with some screens and not with others.

I cut and paste my OP for them to read. This was their response:-

"The brightness on the phone by default is set to Auto-Brightness, which actually adjusts the brightness based on the lighting in the area at the time. Depending on where you are and how much light, the screen will be dimmer or brighter."

I had already explained that the brightness was set to max and not auto, and asked if he understood how polarizing works:-

"I'm sorry, but all I can say is that the screen is designed so that it can be viewed from nearly any angle. As such, the screen very thin against the body of the phone. Which could interfere with the polarization effect."

"I'm sorry? the M8 is available in different colors. But the screen is always the same"
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] samsat:
Today I popped into and looked M8's at both Best Buy and AT&T.

Neither had the polarizing issue that has been reported by others here and elsewhere on the web.

I took more time to compare the M8 and S5 side by side. The S5 does appear to have more usable screen space and it also has a few other things going for it. However the cover over the charging port will drive me around the bend specially having to access it every day. It is not easy to open at all unless you have long nails. Wireless charging would not work for me as I will put the phone in a rugged protective case.

So, I guess it's the M8 for me and a continued loyal HTC owner!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ronii1123:
My phone doesn't polarize either, with out without sun glasses, if that is what the OP meant. It might have been an issue with the in store unit? Wouldn't be the first time I've seen issues with in store phones.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] greenman13:
Just got 2 M8s from T-mobile last week. Mine has the polarizing issue and my wifes does not.

As far as the color issue in other threads they both seem to be on the cooler side as they look identical without polarizing sunglasses on.

My guess is they have two versions of screen filters, one vertical and maybe one circular. I think most phones are circular these days since they do not affect sunglasses which I believe are mostly if now all linear polarized. I have a circular polarizer for my camera lens i will play with tonight to see what I can come up with.

Probably going to try and exchange this phone in store to get one that I can see while I have glasses on. It makes navigation useless with this issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] andrewnelson:
I used my M8in the bright sun. I had no trouble seeing the screen at all
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] P05TMAN:
M7 was the same way.

Solution: Don't hold your phone in landscape when wearing your polarized sunglasses. Easy enough fix for me.

Slap any descent screen protector on it ( not sure about the glass ones, but the normal ones from SPIGEN I know work ) and it will correct it. Had the same issue when I mounted my N7 in my car in landscape mode, could not see it when i had my glasses on. Slap on the screen protector and it was clear as day.

Just tested my M8 by laying a second protector still in the package for an S4 over it, and tada.. i can see it again with glasses :)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] johnnyutah22:
Can you specify which spiegen protector you're referring to, there are several on amazon and this issue is driving me nuts.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] rkennison:
Try these. I had an extra s4 one, it was in the blue package. I would imagine any descent one would work though. For those not seeing the issue, make sure your glasses are polarized. If you don't see it, turn the phone 90 degrees and it will show. Happens to Any device. All glasses, that are polarized, are polarized horizontally to avoid reflection glare. IPads all do the same etc etc etc.... Google polarization and how it works for why.... I'll let the experts describe it

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Only LCD devices. Far as I know, AMOLED devices do not display any change due to polarized glasses. Polarizing filters are used in LCD screens, its a requirement of how they fundamentally work. AMOLED screens don't require/use such filters.

I have a Nokia Lumia 1020, product type RM-875. It is a Singapore country variant, but I know how to flash it with different RM-875 ROMs thanks to these instructions posted by anaheiim: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515453.

My problem: it is not compatible with my carrier's LTE (SaskTel). I only get H or H+ in the top-left corner of the screen, and about one quarter of the download speed as other phones. The RM-877 is meant for North-American markets, as I understand; it works with the 700​/850​/1700​/1900 MHz bands, while the RM-875 works with the 2100​/1800​/2600​/900​/800 MHz bands. My carrier uses the 1700 and 2100 bands. I am wondering if the RM-875 can be made to work better with my carrier's LTE service by flashing it with a different ROM.
[Nokia Lumia 1020] roblxskye:

[Nokia Lumia 1020] DilanChd:
This is not changing the ROM that you change networks frequencies.
[Nokia Lumia 1020] nikozzzzzz:
##3282#

Try opening the Field Test menu, ##3282# . Try playing with settings over there. There is a 4G frequency selection section in it.

p.s. changes are lost after reboot

p.s.2 If you have RM-875, you can't flash a rom for RM-877 as fa as I know. You can flash ROMs for one RM, but for different regions, but the RM number should stay the same. RM-875 has hardware different from RM-877. Its like trying to flash a rom for GSM networks into CDMA phone. Different hardware, different ROMS. But you still could try via Nokia Care Suite.
[Nokia Lumia 1020] katiecakez:
I'd also like to know about this. I have the singapore variant (what the amazon seller sent me) that I am trying to use on Tmobile. I get H and H+ but the ##3282# bring up "something happened and we couldn't complete this action" every time. (On WP 8.0)

Would love to know if there is a way to get it to run even faster...or even get the amazing WiFi calling feature from samsung phones. hah. A stretch I know.

The Nexus 4 does not support all of the AT&T LTE bands. It lacks the most commonly used LTE bands for AT&T and therefore can only be used in a couple of cities. If you do live in one of those cities, you need to unlock the bootloader and flash a hybrid radio.
