[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cal:
I got an answer for a Asus Transformer 101, but nothing to verify the same with the LG G Pad - and the LG tablet is the one I'm using at this time.

Reason I'm asking - the nightlies that are coming out on various Roms (by various builders) have updated things in the nightly issues...but I don't want to have to go through the hassle of 'starting over'. ;)

At this time I'm running the SlimKat 4.6 which I take is the most stable and nothing new out as of yet. I need to comfirm that I can overwrite this Rom with TWRP with a weekly or nightly build of SlimKat and not loose what I have saved...that is if they come with a update.

Thanks loads in advance! :fingers-crossed:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruibing:
You're asking about dirty flashing? Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it depends on the rom and its release strategy.

For example, CM nightlies can be flashed over existing ones, and same for snapshots. But they advise not flashing snapshots over nightlies or vice versa.

I usually do a TWRP backup before a dirty flash.

Hi is there any mod to switch external memory to internal like on previous HTC Phones and Samsung phones where everything by default is saved to the external sdcard?

+1 I hate that the recovery and backups went straight to the internal storage. I prefer recovery and backups on the sd in case my internal storage gets wiped.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
Yes that's right, although philz backup allows u do save to external sdcard, however app data for gameloft games and other apps quite quickly fill the internal sdcard, on the Samsung s3 and HTC one sv I had a mod which allowed all downloaded app data to go straight to external memory card, the mod showed the external memory as internal to all, it allowed unlimited apps

From past experience in HTC and some Samsung Phones the following file is modded "vold.stab" to switch the memorys.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
To be honest I've had a sgs3 for 2 years with the mod on from the beginning and it hardly made any difference to the speed, the app itself is stored on internal memory but any external data the game or app downloads stores itself on the external memory card, and the HTC m8 being a BEAST i dnt think we Shud c any lags

Hi,

I had an OTA update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 and some days after that, when I was using google maps while on roaming network, my phone stopped getting signal from carrier. Since then, I have followed many posts on xda and did these things using NRT (Nexus Root Toolkit):-

1. Unlock

2. Flash + Unroot

But, after doing all these, my phone still does not get the signal. The current problem (I'm not a very technical person):-

1. About Phone --> Status (copying only those properties which might be relevant):-

Network: Unknown

Signal strenght: 0 dBm 99asu

Mobile network type: UNKNOWN:0

Service state: Out of service or Radio Off (this keeps on toggling every few seconds)

IMEI: UNKNOWN

IMEI SV: UNKNOWN

Serial Number: <some number>

2. Phone info available in *#*#4636#*#*:-

Set preferred network type: Unknown

Turn On Radio or Turn Off Radio (This keeps toggling every few seconds)

Actually, after reading so many posts on xda, I can conclude that the efs partition is lost. If I'm goig in the right direction to pin point the problem, please let me know where I can download EFS and change it to point it to my Phone's IMEI.

Will the above step solve this problem ?

Any help is much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saishyamk:
If you have a Nandroid Backup, just restore it. Ur signal will be back.

If ur EFS is gone, U'll have to do one more step. This thread might help you. I had the same problem (IMEI lost) and fixed my phone by doing this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47045295&postcount=6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sescasystems:
Actually, I don't have a Nandroid backup.

And, the steps mentioned in the link you provided also do Not tell about how to fix an unknown IMEI

PS: I dont have a generic IMEI now. My IMEI as seen from *#06# is empty. *#06# shows IMEI (but no IMEI number next to it) and then an OK button.

XDA is a development site not a support site. As the term "Best" or "Most Stable" is a very subjective term, such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is "Best/Most Stable" for them.

The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be "Best" or "Most Stable" for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength.

Please take the time to read through the development threads, and interact with the members there, to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.

Where is the Sprint PPC 6800?

I talked to a Sprint rep on Monday and he stated that on Friday the PPC 6800 along with the released Treo 755P was on some list of upcoming handsets and that on Monday it was gone but the 755 came out as expected. Apparently they get some renewed list every Friday. I also asked if the 755 was going to come out in a windows version but he stated that a WX version was not listed.

I gave up and kept my Cingular account, also gave up my 8125 and got an 8525(GSM TyTN Hermes) instead.

It came Tuesday with very old software and a radio package that really sucked! The stereo headset is a modified USB not a 2.5 and the mic is absolutely in the wrong place . . . So much for my expensive Shure headset . . .

Anyway, the HTC/Cingular upgrade works great and the phone's use experience is a tremendous improvement from the 8125. Thumbwheel with OK and Menu buttons are a very big help. There appears to be some adapter cables for the mic and there are several rumors about a factory upgrade to Mobile 6 upgrade. There is already one expected on the Europe HTC site and now on XDA-developers.com.

So for additional upgrades besides the phone:

No case

Need 2.5 or 3.5 headset adapter for Mp3 or wired voice ($15 ish)

New micro SD (only goes to 2 mg) ($35 ish)

No built in GPS unlike Sprint

No cradle like in Sprint and Canada pic’s ($50 ish)

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Bil Edwards:
Dear All

Please be patient with me - I've read so many different threads and tried so many things that I am losing the will to live. I am a complete novice and have broken my Kindle Fire HD

I originally rooted it and installed CM, but it wouldn't boot. The screen comes on showing kindle in white writing and fire in orange writing. The kindle fire logo then flashes on and off slowly, but doesn't do anything else. It isn't recognised by my PC.

I brought a factory cable from eBay. When I plug in the kindle the kindle shows "fastboot kindle fire". I've tried several different fix utilities, but nothing changes the state of the kindle. They just hang with a message "waiting for device". In device manager the kindle is shown as TATE-PVT-08 with no drivers installed. When I try to install drivers I get an error "Install Failed".

Any suggestions please?

I apologise in advance if I have posted in the wrong place or breached any forum protocol - I am desperate :crying:

Many Thanks

Bill
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
OK well what os is your computer running because I can think of a reason or 2 why the drivers would fail. I'm going to guess windows 7 or 8. If it is windows 8 you will need to disable driver signature enforcement. I've heard the same for windows 7 64 bit but I have it myself and it only prompts me if I want to install anyways.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Bil Edwards:
Thank you for that. I am using windows 8.1. I've followed the instructions and disabled driver signature enforcement. I've installed the drivers and tried a couple of the "unbrick" utilities. One, KFHD_SRTv1.3.5 says it has unbricked the Kindle, but I still don't get past the flashing kindlefire screen. Other utilities say they cant find the device. It is showing in device manager with the drivers correctly working.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
This could be a simple or complex Question/Answer...

Throwing the LTE bands out on the table for non-Spark devices (such as M7) vs. Spark devices (Such as M8)

M7: 1900mhz

M8: 850/1900/2600 MHz

Now those who had an M7 know the fallbacks with the 1900 spectrum. While driving around depending on your area, or limitations of wall penetration, it's very easy to loose LTE and fall back to 3G. Then it's no fun waiting to get back to LTE when your streaming music or video.

The reason I am posting this question is because I don't want to assume, I'd rather have feedback for someone with an M8. If you're inside a building, or driving, have you noticed an improvement with a spark phone?

For instance, is it possible to be on the 850 spectrum and NOT the 1900? or as soon as it looses the 1900 will it still fall back to 3G? I'll be honest, I love/hate LTE on non-spark phones. Love because its unlimited data, hate because of how easy it is to loose LTE. I've had several non-spark phones and had this issue between all of them, and I also have a Verizon phone which is on LTE over 99% of the time. I live in the Tri State Area in NY.

So the bottom line question... If only one band is available (say the 850 because it should theoretically have better wall penetration), will it use that band? Or.. is Sprint Spark all three bands or bust..back to 3G?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] reinaldistic:
im pretty sure from what ive read that spark uses all bands at the same time, so if you lose one youll still be connected on the others until you lose them all. my area doesnt have 850 yet so i couldnt tell you but i definitely feel the diference between having 2500+1900 and only having 1900... when i have both i get aroung 35Mbps then i lose 2500 indoors and i get 5-8Mbps but my phone never "disconnects" from lte when im testing that
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] skizzled:
Yes, if only one band is available, the M8 will only use that band as long as the signal is strong enough to stay on it. Spark enabled phones have the ability to connect to all 3 bands as you have mentioned but can only connect to a single band at any given time as far as I'm aware. Unless it uses some modulation technology. I haven't read much into it, though.

The 2600Mhz band offers the highest theoretical speed out of all of them. Sprint just calls all their Tri-Band phones, Spark enabled for simple identification and as another means of marketing both their network and devices.

I haven't noticed any issues when I'm driving on my normal routes with the M8. Though, with the M7, I would sometimes hit points where it would drop to 3G and Google Music would buffer slightly and resume playing shortly thereafter. I'm not entirely sure its due to the phone, though as it might just be Google Music caching more data or Sprint has worked on the towers recently. I also haven't paid much attention as to which bands, if any, it has been connecting to as I believe this area is still limited to 1900Mhz LTE.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
ahh. I was under the impression sprint was able to bond all 3 channels together to get a lot higher speed. but if it only connects to one at a time, that's a different story
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] skizzled:
That might very well be the case, I'm not entirely sure how the Tri-Band works on Sprint phones yet but will definitely be looking into it moreso since I have a M8.

Band 41 (2500Mhz) will offer higher theoretical speeds at the expense of less range and wall penetration.

Personally, I'm much more interested in Band 26 (800Mhz) as this will hopefully greatly increase range and improve reception. I've been on Sprint long enough to realize that I mostly use data services which don't require huge amounts of bandwidth and when I really need a fast connection, I have access to Wi-Fi more often than not.

Evidently KitKat does not allow third party apps to move, copy or manipulate files anywhere on the microsd card unless those files are in a subdirectory path that matches the name of the application trying to manipulate the files.

App developers just have to update the permissions of their apps and they work fine.

[General Topics] Ouzo:
Aren't such apps using a rather flaky loophole to do this which Google will surely close in due course? I can't remember where I read it but if an app is doing anything more than creating its own app specific individual folder on the SD card and writing to that, it's using a workaround that wasn't intended.

Personally I'm ready for a change from Android now. The rot really started when Google forced people to sign up to G+ to leave reviews in the Play Store and it has gradually got worse from there. I seem to recall a certain company called Microsoft got into all sorts of trouble for bundling their own web browser on PCs, but now Google seems to be forcing all sorts of restrictions and conditions on people (wanna use the Play Store fully? You need a G+ account). Daft changes to the GUI that put frequently used items on large screened devices out of reach for single handed use, the demise of the menu button, changes to core apps that either remove functionality or put it further out of reach (e.g Maps) and now KitKat's war on SD cards really make me wish I had kept my old HD2. I would honestly rather go back to Windows Mobile 6.5 with HTC Sense, Co0kie's Home Tab, Task Façade, TomTom GB and a few other apps at the moment. Sorry, rant over, my blood sugar level must be low ;)
[General Topics] zelendel:
Well you also have to remember that google wants to do away with SD cards for android devices all together. Then even removed the coding from the base OS so now OEM have to re-add it for devices with them.
[General Topics] Ouzo:
Yes, from my point of view that is real a shame. Of course, if OEMs started releasing 128GB devices at a sensible price and using the cloud became reliable for people like me who like to venture outside of urban areas where network coverage is good, I wouldn't care about micro SD cards or USB OTG. I still like Android, but hopefully Ubuntu Touch will provide an alternative, or maybe Microsoft will keep adding features to Windows Phone (though after the way they dumped 6.5 for 7, then dumped 7 for 8 with a 'fresh' start each time I'm reluctant to give them another chance). If Apple launched a sensibly priced device with a 5" screen I would give that a go too now. Who knows, perhaps I'll go back to having an iPod Classic and a feature phone. Back when I had an HTC Elf my hopes for the future of owning an all in one device that had all my music stored locally, provided sat nav, gaming, web browsing and PC functinality when docked were high, but all these years later we're still not quite where i'd like to be. I accept that I'm in the minority here and most people are probably happy though :)

That is strange. Because of knox my galaxy note pro is not rooted and on an external sd card Es File Explorer can’t rename a file. "Cut and paste" is not really "cut and paste" (I mean it doesn’t work as it usually do when source and destination are on the same drive/sd card. Just rewriting the path of the file without moving the datas) but "Copy to destination then delete source" so it takes a very long time to move a big file from a directory to another.

What I understand is that even if developers update their apps with the last api problems will not be fixed. Files Explorer will use turn around where they can and edition apps will not be able to edit files out of their directories etc.
