How about flash google play edition ROM?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssreynolds:
I know, but then everytime a new update comes out I have to flash another ROM... I'd rather convert and be done, that way I can still OTA updates
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davtse:
No two ways about it. Either buy a google play edition or do it like everyone else does, flash roms.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssreynolds:
so the answer to my question is "no"... you can't fully convert a gs4 to a gpe like you can with the m7
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
I guess it's something related to modem , bootloader or kernel.

Devs have to make changes to make it installable on our 9505 , and by doing so , it breaks OTA ...
[General Questions and Answers] rm_2:
i am currently using a nexus 5 on the china mobile 2G network. now that china mobile is rolling out their TD-LTE (aka LTE TDD), i would like to use it. the american nexus 5 (D820) does support one single band that china mobile is using (band 41). but this only works "occasionaly" (like, 30% of the time, and that's in beijing, which should have rather good coverage).

there are, however, a couple of devices available that do support this - but they all come in the "china mainland" version, i.e. no google apps, no google accounts and so on.

samsung - galaxy note 3 (n9008v and n9008s)

oppo - find 7 - x9007

htc - one m8t

htc - one max 8088

sony - xperia z1 - l39t

sony - xperia t2 - x50t

lg - E985T

my question now is this:

does anyone have an informed opinion on how possible it is to flash international ROMs on any of these phones - especially the few that are comparaively small-screened (in this lineup, 5" would go be "small"), and with a extra special eye on the htc m8t.
[General Questions and Answers] colinabroad:
Hi there, I have the M8t and have so far managed to unlock and root using a variety of instructions and a 'special' CWM modified for the CHinese version - which is unfortunately only Chinese, but the commands are the same, so it was simple enough to flash superSU. I went through MANY different twrp and CWM recovery images that did not work before finally getting my hands on the one that did. I am not confident enough yet to try either the Google play or other international ROMs out there - as I need the phone to work! However, rooting was my aim and this CAN be done. Not sure yet what a new ROM would offer over and above the HTC one - it is easy enough to remove the CHinese blaotware with Titanium backup - anad it is wise to keep the Chinese browser, as Google and the stock browser are well filtered over here! Good luck with your choice - I would advise using a China Mobile LTE rather than an American one as they now default to 3G/2G automatically on the China Mobile network without the need for a separate number (two years ago you needed a change of phone number to get 3G!!- - not good when you want to keep your number) you also get seemless transition rather than a jump from 4g to 2g

Hi

New on here so sorry if I don't know to much

I have a Nexus 7 2012. Install Timurs kernel and Rom on my tablet and installed it in my car, and it worked great for months, then the other day it shut down. When I rebooted it, it gets stuck on the Google logo.

If I try boot into recovery it once again gets stuck at the Google Boot logo

I can get it into Fastboot mode but it wont connect to the PC. I am sure the Drivers are ok as I have another nexus 7 and i have today flashed a new rom using the WUGs Nexus Toolkit

Any Ideas anyone as at the moment I would class this as bricked as it wont boot, wont go into recovery and wont connect to the PC

Any advice would be hugely appreciated

Cheers

Aaron
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
You can't go into your recovery?

Install ADB and try to connect your Nexus to your PC and enter "adb devices". See if your tablet is recognized like that.

How to setup ADB

Do not use toolkits with Nexus devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronthew:
cheers for the advice but nope no luck still wont connect
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
When you plug your tab in, does it even attempt to load drivers and just fails or does it not even recognize that you plugged anything in? Make sure by checking the Device Manager as you plug / unplug. If it just doesn't load correctly, then attempt to load the Naked Universal Drivers manually and then you should be able to get things back on track at least with fastboot flashing the stock img files back to it. If the Device Manager doesn't change or show any differences when you plug in the tab, then that's a bad thing... If you can boot to the bootloader still, most likely it can be fixed. If it only boots to a black screen and when plugged in shows the APX driver, you're boned. That problem IS fixable, but only if you would have saved your blob.bin and wheelie blobs before it went down, which I am certain you didn't do as it is not a common procedure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronthew:
Hi

I can get to the bootloader screen and it says Fastboot mode on the tablet.

When i plug the tablet into the Pc, device manger does not refresh and the computer makes no acknowledgement at all when I plug the device in
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Hmm. Very odd. Typically if the bootloader is still there, the rest is easily solvable. What happens when you choose the recovery option from bootloader? Unfortunately you have to test some more things to eliminate the easy stuff. These include trying different cords, ports, and computers. If possible, see if you can try a Linux PC as well or at least a Live CD. If TWRP still loads at all and supports USB OTG, you might be able to load something from it as a long shot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronthew:
if i choose recover, to gets stuck on the google screen

Tried different cables, Pc and PC ports no luck

I could try get linux on vm when i get home? never used it thou
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Sucks man. Such a random thing and not typical of most Nexus issues. This is the only other option I can think of then: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/asus-nexus-7-2012/ - Brick service. These guys are legit. They have a great reputation and I've personally used their services twice (different devices) and one was fixed while the other was a lost cause, but Josh was nice enough to refund some of the money since it didn't work. I'm guessing they would need to do what's called a JTAG service where they hook up (usually solder) a special cable to a specific port on the board and it kind of circumvents the other issues and reloads the OS back on.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladebuddy:
You may need to flash the radio , recovery and bootloader flrst but what I did was flash the official update from Google

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

That's the link to the site update via adb there's loads of info on hear and youtube on how to do this.

Then flash a custom recovery and root again there's loads of info on how to do this.

Doing it this way makes everything on official 4.4.2 recovery, bootlader and radio so you shouldn't run into any problems later.

In January there was an article saying a software optimization has increased battery life on the s4 by 50 %. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Luci...promises-up-to-50-longer-battery-life_id51164

With the s5 out , which is reaching great battery life while having 'only' 2800 Mah it seems that Samsung has implemented this software and having better battery life than many good tablets

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Gala...lagship-has-the-endurance-of-a-tablet_id55077

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogi19:
If you had even made the effort to read the article , you wouldn't be writing that. People like you will never make progress in anything because everything that requires thinking out of the box seems impossible to achieve if you start like that. The PowerXtend algorithms change the way how software and hardware interact and optimizes it. The battery life is already tremendously improved on the s5 which is a fact, so you don't have to start with talking about your friends cousins sister and so on.. This by the way doesn't require some extreme CPU throttling , and I honestly don't know why anyone should have a 100% CPU-usage while surfing on the Internet for example. That's what optimization is.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoddex:
^^^^ LOLOLOL
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamtrash:
I fully agree with you. For internet browsing, the power is not needed by CPU, but by the WiFi/3G/LTE. And, most of battery capacity goes there in such case.

But, 100% CPU is needed to keep alive in the background you email, tweeter, facebook, google and samsung sync plus any other app you may have.

For example, using the NavXtend.The outcome is that my position jumps around when I'm turning or suddenly stopping/accelerating. This is caused by the redirection of part of GPS requests to loop which predicts my movement.

But, you are absolutely right, I did not read the article. Instead, I went to the manufacturer portal, where he clearly states that any savings may be "up to" something.

And, exactly as with NavXtend, I will TRY any solution instead of sending excited posts that someone wrote something somewhere.

im stock rom zva, rooted, cwm recovery

can i flash stock recovery without loosing all my data?

or does that mean i have to flash a total stock image and go back to like when it came out of the box?

i dont mind loosing root for a while with the new update, and i know you can update with the other recovery. i just went with cwm cuz im used to it from every other phone ive had

any help would be great.

thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
You would have to flash stock recovery and unroot, but it is always recommended to do a factory reset after an OTA update anyway, as you may experience issues. The easiest way is to make a backup with titanium and copy all necessary files to your PC, then flash the ZVC tot using LG flash tools. Root after this with ioroot25 and restore your files and data with TBU. Keep that backup on your PC as you never know when you'll need it. You'll have a reliable update this way and minimize or eliminate any update problems.
[Sprint LG G2] majorahole:
i realize i would have to unroot.

titanium doesnt backup everything tho correct? like sms/mms?
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
It does, sms/mms will be in yellow and there are 2 options, select the one that says XML and you will be in business when you restore them.

Edit: By 2 options, I mean don't confuse it with "Messaging" app. Been there done that.
[Sprint LG G2] majorahole:
i ended up flashing twrp and using that method of update rather ethen wiping everything and having to restore it all from titanium.

it worked great! and i still have twrp recovery and root

Pretty much when I first got my phone I rooted and put TWRP 2.6.3.2 on it. I haven't really done anything with it since - I was waiting for a stable 4.4 ROM and then just got busy and didn't have time to play with my phone.

Anyway, now i'm having radio/4g issues and I'd like to update to 12b and possibly even 24a.

From my understanding, using xdabebb's method here, I should be good to go to 4.4.2 as long as I can find a way to upgrade TWRP 2.6.3.2 to 2.6.3.3 (any flashable zips?) otherwise I can use the .tot method and get to 12b.
