[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] tragicshadow:
Is it too late?

First of all, I am not an android mobile technician.

I am also learning how to tweak android phones by studying from this and that forums.

In our country, Myanmar, we use mostly Huawei handsets and especially CDMA ones.

Secondly, I hope you haven't thrown away that P6 C00.

I think it might be possible to overcome some of the obstacles you are currently facing:

Q3:Unlocking China Telecom lock and MCC and MNC editing

Q1 & Q2 shall be answered once we can solve Q3.

Thirdly but most importantly, you are going to be needed to have to unlock the bootloader and root access both of which are not really difficult.

There are a lot of Myanmar/other forums giving tutorials on this and I think P6 C00 is likely to be rootable and its bootloader unlockable.

Going back to Q3:eek:nce you got root access, you just need Buildprop editor installed from Playstore.

Then run it. Create a backup first. Then Edit and scroll down until you see ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=46003 and change it to your mobile operators MCC and MNC. Save and Reboot. And go back into your APN settings. You will see that the MCC and MNC were changed and also editable.

I was frustrated for this for like a month and I just find out accidentally.

Of course, you should have a backup of your firmware, recovery and various other tools ready.

I think I should warn you that following my advice might brick your phone and if you do follow, it's at your own risk. Don't blame me.

Good luck Buddy.

If my advice were wrong somehow, I hope some other admin or technician would please kindly correct me. But I just got it working that way.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GaZ:
I just upgraded from an XDAii, and obviously there are many advantages, but also many disadvantages. Let me run through a few of my qualms and see if you can help with any.

1. Less "toolbars" in programs

For example, the photo album app in XDAii had a row of buttons for slideshow, start, stop, full screen, rotate, etc etc.... Most of this is accessible through the menu system, but full screen seems to be missing comletely.

Also the calendar comes to mind. The row of buttons for day, week, month and year was a godsend

2. speaker screech

Anything over a certain noise level seems to come though in a really piercing way that I have to hold the phoneawayfrom my ear

3. Phone pad not working in messaging

The phone pad entry method, the one that replicates the keypad of a normal mobile phone, cannot be used for the thing it would be most commonly used for - SMS messaging. WHY?!?!

4. Phone "themes" missing

Remember in the photo contacts app, where you could apply different themes to contacts when they call, like the row of carrots, or the glistening heart? What happened to that?

5. Less hardware buttons

The contacts and calendar hardware buttons have been replaced by an extra row on the screen. Yes, there are buttons on the keyboard which link to them, but that doesn't help me when trying to configure 3 control buttons in Worms, does it.

6. Add ringtones?

Ok we have ups and downs here. On the plus side, MP3 ringtones are now supported. On the flipside, you can't file them into folders, they have to place in the My Documents route directory in order to be accessible. Is there a way round this?

I hope someone can help me. Any info you can give will be much appreciated
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anjow:
This is an annoying one and I don't know of a fix for it. The first part is down the to album program I think, if it is just called 'Pictures' then it is the one which came with mine too and it isn't very good at all. I replaced it with Resco Photo Viewer. As for the calendar part, those buttons you mentioned are accessed through 'menu' - again, annoying and takes more time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GaZ:
Anyone? :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GaZ:
I realise there are many side steps around my issues, but they're some of the thing that made me love my XDAii. Like the hardware buttons, made it so easy to use PocketSNES. You turned it sideways and instantly had a d-pad on your left, and 4 buttons on your right (just like a SNES pad). And calendar, I know it has the options on the menu, but I miss the quick functionality.

Oh, and yes my Exec obviously does have the QWERTY keypad, but this isn't always conveniant when walking, or holding many bags, or drinking in a crowded pub. The phone pad was the texting solution I've been waiting for for years, and doesn't work in the application it's needed most in :x

Thanks for informing me of the windows\rings folder. That's one bonus at least.

So what are your qualms with the Exec? I'm guessing deeper things like memory useage and stuff?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
none really, I am happy thru n thru

weight n size perhaps. the price for a double thumb keyboard...

I just read a lot of negative comments and complaints and few people saying how good it is overall for price n quantity of gadgets in such a small package.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sub69:
Ok, The toolbar thing is a bit annoying at first, but you get used to it and I prefer the aesthetics of a 'cleaner' looking screen without all sorts of icons at the bottom making everything look untidy (personal preference though). Lack of hardware buttons on the face of the phone when it's in PDA mode is not something I've even thought about, but I can see how it would cause issues for game-players. Bit of a shame, but I doubt if it's a consideration for many OEM's, they don't really build WM phones with gaming ergonomics as a high priority issue...

Not had problems with the speaker, and sticking ringtones in the \Windows\Rings folder is good enough for me - why would you need to sub-categorise them? Unless you have dozens of them that you change on a daily basis?

I'm interested in your comment that the "Phone pad" doesn't work in the Messaging app though? Mine works perfectly well...is this something that others have problems with? Maybe you have a dodgy ROM or something?

Oh, and I never knew that the theme could be changed depending on who was calling? Didn't that take aaaaages, and slow the response of the phone down to a crawl!?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GaZ:
I never knew about the windows\rings folder before posting this so that answered that one.

As for phone pad, it definitely isn't working in messaging, so I may try a newer ROM, but only if it can be downloaded from the official O2 site.

The phone themes, did indeed slow it down, but I thought rather than exclude them they'd work on it and make them better.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] beachmeat:
Seriously, you must be the only person on this planet that was wishing for that - you have a keyboard and a keyboard on the screen... what the heck :shock:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GaZ:
As you may have read if you looked at my previous reply, the keyboard is no good for one handed use (ie: whilst holding a pint in a crowded pub)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] speedsolve:
Hi xda,

Im thinking about rooting my nexus 7 2013 but the problem is that I also want to be able to update my device with google's ota updates. Is there a way to root your device and still recieve ota updates from google? If there is a way, does that mean that you could update your device and still keep root? What im trying to say is that is there a way to update the device while keeping root on stock rom and stock kernel?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] charesa39:
Being rooted has no effect on getting OTAs. If you are completely stock (w/ stock recovery), you will still get an OTA notification. If you're using SuperSU Pro, there's an OTA survival mode that should keep you rooted even after updating via OTA. Worst case scenario is you lose root, in which case, all you gotta do is flash SuperSU again in recovery and you're good to go.

Check this out: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217

It's in the Nexus 5 forum, but still serves pretty good insight on how OTAs work.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gc84245:
Yes and no. I've updated before with custom recovery and root and had no problems, but another time I got an error message because one of my system files may have been unintentionally modified even though I was careful not to modify any system files. So it usually works, but no guarantees.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] charesa39:
In that case, all you would have to do is flash the system.img from the factory image, then flash the OTA update zip in recovery.

If there is light and the object is still the ISO is low and noise is down, but if the ISO goes up then as always with any mobile camera the noise gets in there. Not something that can't be removed in post processing though. As said before, no phone will match a compact camera, physically impossible. And even most/all compact cameras suffer from noise at higher ISO.

root to 4.4.2

hello i want to ask if i can update form 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 android .:confused:
[Android General] Legdotus:
Have you found any method to root the phone? I bought one as well, and I need to root it, but haven't found any method to do that so far.
[Android General] YCkcaJ:
Thanks, I might try it as the initial lock does take some time that I think shouldn't be necessary.

Dunno, I have not had the need to mess with the phone on lower than application level yet.

What would the advantage of having 4.4 kitkat be?

4.2.2 is the most common, all apps work.

I don't think there are any Chinese Kitkat phones, or only a couple of questionable source/quality.

Let me check, I have not rooted it since I found I don't need root really, maybe when I do more with the phone from a programming POV.

Any tool used for MTK6592 should do the trick to root it.

Often they are chinese tools, I downloaded some for sure.

There is a thread about Jiake X3S, I think there is info about rooting MTK6592.

I have VRoot here from several sources and also MTK Droid tools. Probably the most reliable for MTK phones. Also framaroot but don't know about it. Search and you will find, it should be the same for all MTK6592 phones to get root. Shops often sell phones rooted or with optional root.

---

Phone works fine so far. Real racing still is not as great to control on occasions, no idea if it's a game issue or the controls freezer sometimes as I may lose steering or holding the gas down turns off. But the screen works fine anywhere else.

Most draining is when one fiddles with the phone, not even as much playing a video with HW acceleration, but moving screens and starting, opening, closing, browsing. Apart from heavy 3D gaming of course, that's the biggest battery eater.

Oh BTW, the charger works fine, got a socket adapter from US to EU and works really well, better than USB charging from a computer I think. There must be some trick to allow fast charging over 500mA. Probably the data wires shorted but haven't tried that with my home made USB power supply.

Trying to update the files manually. Like this.

► How to fix / repair GPS on Chinese smartphones - MTK6592 6589 GPS FIX - S4 jiayu G4 Umi X2 [HD]

Doesn't seem to do anything. Had to create the data folder and I doubt it check the data folder for EPO updates.

The MTKGPS app needs root.

The only thing I find dissatisfactory is the initial fix delay. But I bet it's present on any other phone in this area. Still get an alright signal of 25-35 in GPS test and in debug it does list around 9 satellites.

Guyz ..... :(

i have Neken N6 and i really love this device, but accidentally broke the screen glass and the top left corner ,, everything is extremely working but im not liking to use the device with this small scratch on it , i looked around to but screen assembly but i didn't found, does anybody know where can i get the screen replacement ?...

Thank you
[Android General] YCkcaJ:
I got it from Neken via Alibaba/Aliexpress so if anyone is going to have replacement parts it's going to be them since they make and sell the phones.

If I were you I would look there and their homepage to find their contacts and talk to the people, they will not have it listed for sell in the shops probably but could offer it to you if you ask.

I got that way the bigger battery and cover instead of the stock one when ordering my phone, you just have to ask.

Anyone saw an Android update to higher version? Probably not but doesn't hurt to check.

I have been using SIMPLE MOBILE for two years

But all the sudden for this month my data is not working....

It will pop up the Tmobile screen saying that "You data plan does not work on this device, click here to sign up for a new data plan"

But I am not with tmobile now so what can i do?

I called simple mobile tech support, they are not helping, just keep asking me add an APN and I did, and I used to have the same APN so I have no clue what to do now.

My data plan is $40 unlimited talk / text and 1G Data

is anyone has the same issue with them currently?

If so, are you able to resolve the problem?

I am using T-Mobile Galaxy S3

Thank you for the help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
If you are concerned the issue is on your end, try factory resetting, and maybe flashing your firmware via odin.

It sounds more like an issue on their end though, especially if you haven't made any significant changes recently. How long has it been giving you problems? Maybe ask if they can reset your account or something like that. Or maybe a new sim card could help...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexke:
hey guys

just flashed my sony xperia tablet z wifi to liquidsmooth beta 3.0,and now i got the taste of it... took me a while before starting to unlock my bootloader due to the drm keys and other stuff we loose...

but now i'm starting to get the hang off it and trying out more and more...

so now i flashed a custom rom,by flashing boot.img and then installing the rom from .zip file in recovery...

now im looking for more and maybe even better roms,performance wise,luiquids rom is really great but i'm looking for roms that are already tweaked for games without lag,stuttering and so.. feel free to send me some links to such roms...

but,and thats really the reason i started this tread is,after flashing these custom kernels(boot.img) if i want to get back to stock rom (sgp_311_10.4.B.0.577_Generic Nordic,do i have to flash the kernel for that rom are is the .ftf file enough to get back to stock..

i could try it out but asking it here takes less time if it would not go...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
You need to flash the whole fw, not just the kernel...
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexke:
so flashing only the .ftf file isnt enough to get back to stock rom?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felimenta97:
The ftf contains the whole fw, including kernel. If you flash just the kernel, like you said in OP, you'd have only the current ROM you're using with the stock kernel and, thus, a soft brick.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gotnoypi:
As soon as I received my AT&T S5, I wasn't happy to know that our dear carrier AT&T has disabled Download Booster. Having said that, I am really convinced to return the phone and switch over to T-mobile. Luckily, my area is pretty covered so coverage is not so much of an issue.

However, reading around the forum and chatting with Samsung Rep. It was confirmed that only AT&T features carrier aggregation. Although LTE-A is only in Chicago as of the writing, there are plans to roll it out in my area (SF).

As I'm not sure how much of an impact will this do to my service or over-all experience. Which would you rather have or be more beneficial -- given you can only pick one.

1. Carrier Aggregation -- stick with AT&T

2. Download Booster -- switch to Tmobile
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nizbot:
Man if you have the option, switch to Tmo. I'm not sure what would keep anyone from switching really. I would if I wasn't on a corporate plan. So I think a better question would be, what keeps you on AT&T? :cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gotnoypi:
I might switch in the end. I'm contemplating on either paying ETF and keeping my ATT phone which is cheaper option for me.

Thats why im figuring out which feature is more important to keep
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nizbot:
You know Tmo will pay your ETF if you switch right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] scott14719:
Why not buy a T-Mobile S5, unlock it and use it on AT&T's network. Best of both worlds?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gotnoypi:
The question is will tmobile S5 do carrier aggregation.

Is that actually a phone feature or a network feature?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] scott14719:
This thread in the general section tells how to check the phone for it. If someone with a T-mobile S5 can see if the menu is available and what it says we will know.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
As someone who is currently contemplating switching to TMO, I can tell you its easier said than done. Yes, they are paying ETFs but I'm not trading my iPhone to them and getting ripped off. The coverage is good, but not great. My entire neighborhood is EDGE for some reason. I also worry when traveling, especially on interstates. Now if the entire country was going to benefit from Verizon's 700mhz spectrum, then I would definitely switch, but that's not the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] 21cdb:
I'm on a T-Mobile phone and that code doesn't work for me. I'm on an international ROM though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] scott14719:
You would probably need to be on the stock ROM to know for sure. It might also be tied to the radio / modem.

I have a T-Mobile S5 unlocked on AT&T. Here's my screen shot of the CA status with stock ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gotnoypi:
Interesting...

having it disabled might mean there's a chance for it to be enabled.

For the ATT variant, I know there's a switch for the download booster using Nova launcher but it seems like its just a ui and not the actual switch.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garvani:
Anyone else having issues with this? Short story is im not getting DD+ through netflix/amazon, yet will get DTS/DD through xbmc.

Im having issues with dolby digital plus and my fire tv. I have a new LG home theater system BH9530TW. Ive set the firetv audio settings to play dolby digital plus over hdmi and have the firetv plugged into the receiver, the receiver is set to multi channel pcm. When ever i play a netflix or amazon prime movie with 5.1 i get no sound, i have to change it back to stereo for any sound. Ive tested xbmc and get DD and DTS through movies on that, i don't have any DD+ files to test that, im not sure if xbmc will passthrough DD+ anyway.

Taken from the specs of the receiver:

Audio - LPCM

Audio - Dolby Digital

Audio - Dolby Digital Plus

Audio - Dolby TrueHD

Audio - DTS

Audio - DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

Audio - DTS HD-Master Audio

Audio - MPEG 1/2 L2

Audio - MP3

Audio - Audio - ID3 Tag

Audio - MMA

Audio - AAC

Audio - FLAC
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeebuspwnz:
Strange, I can confirm that my Onkyo properly plays Dolby Digital + from Amazon and Netflix. I also have no trouble with DD or DTS via XBMC. My FireTV is connected the same way yours is, via HDMI straight to the receiver.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garvani:
Damn, i was hoping it was an issue with the firetv lol. Must be a receiver issue, hopefully a firmware update may resolve it in the future. I will test it with an optical cable and see if i can atleast get DD 5.1 out of it that way. The "virtual" surround it produces is extremely good however and i may stick to that yet.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltjessec:

Is not your receiver, AFTV DD over optical doesn't work.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ars_92:
I have an LG 7540tw home theater and DD+ doesn't work for me too. What I did was set the dolby digital plus setting to Auto for the Fire TV, so now the receiver plays DD 5.1 which is downmixed from the DD+ 5.1 of Netflix thru HDMI, I don't have an optical cable connected from the fireTV to the receiver. There are others with this issue too, but I cant find the amazon forum's link anymore
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneid:
DD+

I ran in to this with Netflix from a Roku3 via HDMI to a 54" Vizio 5.1 sound bar. All issues with DD+ involve whether or not something in line can decode it. Also, DD+ is HDMI only so Digital Coaxial or Optical won't work either. I came to FireTV as it will output DD via Optical which my soundbar will handle. The Vizio sound bar only is capable of DD and DTS. DD+ results in silence.

To do DD+ you need an AVR that decodes it.

BTW, I do not recommend the Vizio sound bar. It does do rear surround and sub-woofer via bluetooth which works well. The downside is that it has only one HDMI input and supports only DD and DTS. I bought it as I didn't want to drill my new house. By the time I paid $500 for it, $50 for an HDMI switch, and $100 for AFTV I would have been much better off buying a more capable traditional AVR system for much less money.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garvani:
I will have to give this a try, i would have thought i had already but possibly not. DD5.1 is adequate enough.

To clear things up i have the AFTV connected to the receiver via hdmi in, then receiver connected to my projector via hdmi out. I only mentioend optical as possible alternative.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garvani:
Its not that simple either as my AVR has support for DD+ but ends in silence as well. Theres something weird going on there, im glad im not the only one with the issue.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneid:
Have you tried another HDMI cable?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce7373:
Maybe I'm missing something, but if you have your AVR set to multi channel PCM, doesn't that assume the FTV will do the decoding (which it can't). Shouldn't you be sending the DD+ as passthrough for the AVR to decode?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneid:
I agree, FTV decodes nothing. An AVR of some sort that has paid the licensing fee must be in the mix. If the AVR is DD+ rated, I'd take a hard look at the HDMI cables. Don't have to be expensive but do need to be capable of handling the standard being pushed through them.

Hi I hope you can help me because I am running out of solutions

I have a galaxy note GT n7000 that started getting laggy so I rooted it first with Philz JB Rom. That went fine for half a year then it started shutting down now and then. I don't know why.

I then installed the latest Asylum omni rom 4.4.2 together with a new CWM and Gapps from the SD card. Worked fine for a week then started comming white stripes running over the screen until it shut down or sometimes freezing the screen and tiny dots getting brighter on the screen until shout down.

I reebooted and wiped sevaral times and reinstalled - no change

I then changed the battery (not original Samsung, but brand new) , but the problem is the same.

My warrenty just ran out :(
