Yes you will lose root and you will neednto re root unless you flash a pre rooted ROM and yes your bootloader will still be unlocked the only thing that can relock the bootloader is restoring the TA partition
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] logicaldeveloper@live.com:
I've been using PAC Man 4.2.2 rom and then switched to CM10.1 4.3 ROM.

Am a regular and heavy phone user .. I was away from these forums for sometime and now i need to know the best 4.4 ROM which i can use. I know HDMI & FM will not work but atleast rest all key features should work. Kindly suggest.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You can go for v5 of Carbon ROM. It is smooth and very suitable for daily use. Note, I'm saying v5 as v6 has many bugs. Or if You can wait, The Developer is soon going to release next version which will sort out bugs of v6.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] logicaldeveloper@live.com:
I was waiting for next release as you said and now they released 2, which one should I pick 7 or 8
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] crashoverride2786:
Carbon Rom!

Carbon Rom is very good! Still WIP but stable enough for daily use!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
Both are having some issues currently. v7 has random boots and some ui freezes. v8 is very smooth but has problems with video players, none of them (mx player, vlc,etc ) work. Although the default video player works fine. And there is a constant call waiting sound while being on call even though there is no call waiting. The Developer has the solution for the false call waiting sound issue and will fix it soon.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] logicaldeveloper@live.com:
Thanks for the update mirhawk will wait. Jus waiting for one stable version to taste the kit kat flavour.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mpulock:
I personally love Carbon ROM. But, as the v8 has the bugs, i am looking forward to next version. If it can get rid of the bugs, It'll be golden. Right now I am using PureSlim-KitKat R1(4.4.2). You can flash it. I haven't seen any bugs yet. Nice and Smooth. Best for daily use. You can play some games too! :fingers-crossed:

If you love kitkat on your XS like me, I'll say, try it once.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] logicaldeveloper@live.com:
Sure, Gonna try that now..

When you have your speaker volume very high and play a video, does the back of your nexus 5 vibrate to the sound? Mine seems to vibrate across the whole back.

Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
sounds generally do make things vibrate, since it travels in waves.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hypersnake:
Okay, I guess this is normal then. Thanks for the reply.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joannn:
See if it vibrates a lot and abnormally loud so that you could even hear a rattling then you should call up Google, they most probably will ask you to do a factory reset. But in case it's low then its normal.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newr:
I've read about this region lock and hope someone can help clarify my situation.

I am getting a T-mobile from ebay (supposed to be clean IMEI)...I plan to sim unlock as I am using in Canada. I read about the region lock...and some say as long as you use it with the same region sim it's clear....so does it mean if I use a Canada SIM it will be ok since it's same region (North America)...or does it have to be T-mobile or US sim? Some of the unlock code providers says you need to unlock with original carrier...does it haev to be?

Also, is there anyway to tell if it's region lock if you're using in your original region...i.e. if sim unlocked and I use in Canada (assuming that's consider same region)...how can I tell if region lock has been disabled if I don't have a foreign sim to check? Is tehre a way to see?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete4k:
T-mo phones are region locked, but not as much as some international phones, I think there were somewhere around 15 entries , where normally you would have around 40. If you root your phone, you can use Chainfire program to get rid of region lock if your phone is on Android 4.3, not sure about 4.4.2 update. You can see list of region codes that are locked on your phone inside customer.xml (network lock with numeric code), file is located inside /system/CSC directory, but you need root to see it. Your bigger problem may be a SIM lock (I don't think Canada is region locked on US phones anyhow), but some people claim Chainfire unlocks SIM as well, but I have no way to confirm it. Otherwise T-mo can unlock the phone if it was fully paid for or you can use paid service to unlock the SIM.

I hope you understand risks involved with buying phones on e-bay? If the phone was not fully paid for, it may not be locked in Canada, but if it was reported stolen, I think that info may be distributed to other carriers? Phone could have some defects or may even be a fake, so just be careful and understand the risks. And finally make sure frequencies are compatible , but I can't help you with that.

Anyway, good luck if you decide to go ahead with it, Note 3 is awesome phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newr:
But the idea of region lock is if you use the sim from the same region the first time, it will not activate the lock anymore according to Samsung. So if a t-mobile (north america) phone is activated on a canadian sim..would that prevent the region lock? I am aware of the Sim lock issue...had bought t-mobile phones before for here....trying to see if I should root or get code this time. HOpefully won't be problem with the IMEI...seems like more problem nowadays than in the past..guess lots of people are scamming T-mobile by paying $200 and taking the phone and run.

It always a little arrogant to ask for help, but this is driving me bonkers.

In the Samsung link app, when viewing images of my tablet that's linked, some pictures have a letter N in the top left corner of SOME images . Again the same is true when vice versa. What does it mean!?

http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-r...gh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/

1) I did everything in that tutorial and it worked without any flaw.

But when I rebooted the phone to enter CWM, my phone instead booted into stock android recovery.

How can I make CWM permanent?

2) When I look through custom roms on this site I have noticed the different labels(D2lte, D2tmo, D2usa).

Can you please tell me which label is with my Wind SGH-T999V so that I know which rom I can and cannot install.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
1) Uncheck auto reboot in Odin, After flashing cwm passes unplug cable, remove battery, reinsert battery, and boot straight into recovery..

2) any in this forum should be ok
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deleted member 3550812:
1) I did exactly that. The first time I got into CWM I flashed the superuser.zip file. After that I rebooted the phone and confirmed root was established. Then when I rebooted the phone to install a custom rom, I was instead booted into stock android recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
You don't need to flash superuser zip if you're gonna flash ROMs, they're all prerooted
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deleted member 3550812:
I dont think you understand what I am saying.

This was a unrooted phone. I flashed the PDA file via odin. Then I booted into CWM (for the first time ever) to flash the superuser.zip file (to get root).

Then I turned the phone on to confirm that the phone had been rooted, which it is.

Then I rebooted the phone to install a custom rom, but I didnt get CWM recovery I got stock android recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
There is a way to fix it if you search, but what I am saying is that you don't need to flash superuser even if it wasn't rooted.. It seemed like you wanted to flash a ROM so as long as you can get into cwm just flash the rom and you're good
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Or flash root66 firmware, then install recovery whichever way you prefer. Just another option.

[Moto X Accessories] mechanical tool:
I have tried the Garmin USB2 ANT+ stick with my Moto X and I wanted to share the results in case anyone else is looking for this info.

-Tested with the Garmin ANT+ HRM strap and Endomondo sports tracker app.

Set up was quite easy:

1. Connect USB2 stick with USB OTG cable

2. Open Endomondo, ->Settings -> Accessory Settings -> ANT+ Sensors

3. Follow prompts to install three ANT+ Services from Play Store (ANT Radio Service, ANT USB Service, ANT+ Plugins)

4. Put HRM on - it seems like it will only turn on and connect when it is broadcasting your heart rate

Notes:

- Garmin USB stick must be version 2 (labelled USB2) for it to work

- I took a quick look in the Runtasic app settings and I don't see anything indicating support for ANT+ sensors

- I have don't have any other sensors to test (pedometer, cycling speed, cadence, etc)

- Moto X is running Android 4.4.2 Rogers/Fido release, not rooted.
[Moto X Accessories] tdiman:
The beta version of endomondo supports Bluetooth smart. It would require an upgrade of your hrm but it is cleaner.

I bought a new One M8 from ATT last week, but didn't have them activate in the store, as I wanted to root it and install a ROM, and play around with at home for a week first, before making it my official phone.

I am coming from an ATT Galaxy S4. So today I am ready to my the M8 my phone now, but I feel like an idiot or a rookie, not knowing how do activate it :( I forgot that my S4 has the bigger SIM card, which doesn't fit in the M8, which has a tiny nano card. Well the nano card is in the M8 already, I just need to activate it, but really not sure how ?

I dialed "611#' on the M8 and it says something like the SIM card is not provisioned ? And then turning the card out, and putting it back in says " SIM not provisioned MM #2 "

I do have a little sticker that came in the HTC box from ATT has a bunch of serial numbers on it, etc...

Any help would be greatly appreciated here.

Thank you.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] nash2000:
Umm...you need to go to AT&T and have them set you up with a micro SIM card. Won't cost you anything.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] darkkterror:
Just call AT&T (not from the phone line that you're switching phones on), tell them that you have a new phone to switch over, and provide them with the IMEI for the phone and the ICCID of the SIM card that came with it. There should be stickers on the box that have both the IMEI and ICCID numbers.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] an0ther:
All you have to do is dial 611 from your other phone. no "#" needed. They will activate it for you. Cost $10 on your next bill. Or go to the store and you can talk them into doing it for free usually, if not, it will be $10 also.

Thanks, I just dialed 611 and they walked me through the setup. No charge, and took a couple minutes.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Allen`:
Not true, AT&T will never charge you for activating a new SIM card. Just walk into the AT&T store and tell them can I please get a nano SIM for my HTC M8, they will just go check your account and print out a receipt and give you the SIM card. After that all you need to do is call AT&T support give them your phone IMEI number and SIM card number and activate it within minutes. Your getting that error message due to having no active SIM in the device.

"Google play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device, please contact the manufacturer for assistance". I cannot connect(sign in) any game to google. I've even flashed my ROM again but the problem still occurs. This happens only after rebooting the phone. How do I resolve this issue?

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Yup. I have no issue with OnePlus' relationship with Oppo. Actually, I have issues with how much they are trying to distance themselves from Oppo, considering that Oppo's reputation in the west is overall positive and how close they still are to Oppo despite their claims.

The OnePlus One is a slightly modified Find 7a. In fact, in addition to manufacturing the device, Oppo appears to have done the initial BSP bringup prior to handing off development to Cyngn - the source code drop for the Find 7/7a also has defconfigs/code/ifdefs for a "find7op" which differs from the Find 7a code only in the few cases where the One and the 7a have been definitively documented to be different.
