[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2jdmbfan:
Everyone,

I setup an advance replacement with HTC USA as my unit was randomly freezing and having camera issues. I setup the advance replacement, hasn't shipped to me yet, but the unit I am sending back has a few minor nicks on the back and on the top corner and one little tiny dent, nothing major. Happened in my pocket, I am usually more careful, but had it in a pocket with my keys. Should I worry about them giving me a hard time when I send this one back? Anyone sent one back with minor damage before?

Thanks,

Y2J

Hi Guys, I was wondering if any of the DEVS have found a way to force the phone to stay on usb3 Mode and not switch back to USB2, i found it charges faster while tethering/ and while connected to a PC. I also noticed Tethering is smoother and better for some odd reason. Does anyone know how to tweak the setting?

Much Appreciated

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imapanther:
I purchased a Global GSM 16 GB Moto G from Amazon back in January, and have been using it purely as a WiFi device these past months. I bought it to use as a travelling phone, as I already have a phone but needed something unlocked to use when on trips. I am in Mexico for a month and have been having trouble getting a local SIM card (from a company called Movistar) to work with the phone. They only had full sized SIM cards nearby, and I didn't want to travel an hour to pick up a Micro SIM, but I had brought along a SIM card cutter just in case, and quickly trimmed it down.

I popped it in and the phone quickly recognized it and picked up signal. I tested sending and receiving messages, calling and receiving calls, all with no problems. However, the next morning I saw that the phone had disconnected and was no longer recognizing the SIM card. I did the usual restart, which worked for an hour, then I had to resort to taking the card out, cleaning the contacts, and putting it back in. It worked for another couple hours, then quit again. Whatever I try it tells me my SIM card is invalid or doesn't recognize it anywhere from a couple seconds to a couple hours after I insert it. I have tested the card in an old unlocked RAZR V3 with one of the Micro to normal SIM adapters included with the SIM cutter and it works just fine, with no connection problems even after a couple days of use.

This leads me to believe that the problem lies within the software of the Moto G itself. After a bit of research it seems like this might be a problem with Kit-Kat. I've checked the SIM contacts inside the phone with a flashlight for damage (though I'm very careful with my tech) and they all appear to be just fine. I've attached a screenshot of my lock screen with evidence of the "Invalid SIM" message highlighted in orange.

I would appreciate any help figuring this out!

same things happen to me also.

when I cut down a normal sim to micro . some days itss working then same invalid sim problem.

only solution to re insert sim.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imapanther:
At this point my phone will reject my SIM card every couple minutes to every couple hours. Sometimes it will not even recognize it immediately after a SIM re-insertion cycle. Right now it's pretty much unusable as a cellphone.

I just tried on my Mac running mavericks. (2012mbp) It synced great, but my mouse ran to the bottom left corner perpetually, it was difficult to stop until I remembered the controller's got batteries. Syncs with windows 8 and works great on "The wonderful end of the world", no obvious problems.

Hello all,

About one year ago, I switched to PlatinumTel's PayGo service (https://www.ptel.com/plans) which includes talk, text, and 4G data. At that time I had my phone, the Optimus L9 P769, unlocked by T-Mobile. Everything worked well.

About two weeks ago, the data stopped working for some reason. I use data very little, so I didn't mind. But now I am donating my phone to a relative who never owned a smartphone. I tried everything I could to fix the data, from adding PTel's APN to installing kuma82's locked bootloader ROM. Nothing worked. I suspect the part of the phone receiving data broke after I dropped the phone. If there is any way to verify this, I would be happy to learn.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mattecko99:
So I'm having issues with the App helium, an app that backs up and restores app data. My saves and stuff like that. I installed maladus 2.0.2 and I have the dorimanx kernel, and ever since I got the ROM I always get this message when trying to backup. Any ideas as to what the issue is? I don't have any password set.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
I find there is a huge battery drop (ex from 50% to 10-12%) when I reboot my phone. It even gives a low battery notification and all. With time the % status increases and stabilizes around 40%. It happens irrespective of the Roms.

A search on xda resulted in multiple threads with 2 outcomes -

1. Faulty battery - which can't be the case as sometimes it even gives me 2 days of backup.

2. It's a known issue

Could not get anything concrete on searched threads and hence this post.

Now my queries are below -

1. If it's a known issue, does everyone else face it?

2. What can I do from my end to avoid it? Except, of course, changing the battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
It only seems to happen to me when I have to force reboot by long pressing power button (say if I get a rare complete freeze). If I reboot normally I don't get the issue. However, I've seen members post that if you reboot to recovery, and then boot from recovery that you won't get the drop.

That being said, remember that it's only the reported value that is wrong. Your battery voltage is (relatively) unchanged before and after the reboot. In other words, rebooting doesn't eat 40% of the available voltage, the available voltage is being incorrectly reported.

Sent from a galaxy far, far away
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
So its the reporting from the hardware to software which is incorrect. Is there anything which we should/shouldnt do to avoid this discrepancy? asking because I remember I never got it for almost 2 years, it started almost since 2-3 months only.

Will a fuel-gauge reset work here? have seen it in stweaks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
That's the logical conclusion I've come to, yes. Like I said, to avoid it, you can reboot to recovery and then boot from there. Personally, I ignore it. It goes away if you charge back to 100%, and battery voltage is unchanged as I said. It almost seems random to me, it used to happen a lot to me. Now I haven't had it for about 5-6 months I'd say. And I don't know what's different, nothing that I can put a finger on anyway.

I'm not sure, I've never used reset fuel gauge. If I remember correctly, that will end up in even more screwy battery values once you press it until the next charge (I could be wrong). But search for a proper explanation of what it does, and maybe give it a try. Post up here if you find out anything from your experiments :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
I slightly disagree to what the member advised/concluded. To my experience this drop happens when you battery is about to die or needs replacement. Get a new battery and no drop will happen.

It would not drop if you hootboot it, the reason behind this is that it does not completely shuts down your phone hence cpu does not work heavly like it does on reboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
I had tried that twice in past when I was on Dorimanx kernel which screwed up the battery stats for a charge. It came back to displaying normal battery status after a while. Though I did not notice anything specifically good/bad on that matter.

Now it brings me to another doubt.. did i make the matters worse by resetting fuel gauge?

Cant agree with you on a dying battery concept, mate. I am getting such awesome battery life(depending on ROMs) (sometimes 2 days) that I do not think its something related to age of the battery. Its 2.5 years old but still going good, no heating, no sudden deaths.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
I think your lucky with the aged battery i would say. Yes, rom plays a big rom here but then i have also noticed if your rom has lot of boot services to start then your cpu will be much active which puts load on battery for power and if battery is weak it will not be able to execute the requored power.

This problem is more with sammu phones
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
The battery is 2.5 yrs old ?!

This is absolutely the cause of the problem you're seeing (beyond the misreporting stupidity suffered by all Samsung phones already discussed). Replace it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
Replace it just because it misses on reporting correct charge info on reboot? Don't you think it will be a little harsh on current battery? :P

Jokes apart, it has to give me more signs of aged battery like atleast low backup to start with.

Yeah. Maybe lucky. Not on Sammy roms Btw. Beanstalk, AOSB and cyanfox have given me very good battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishal11in:
Ya as i mentioned all sammy roms are full of junkies which custom rom keep away. As a result it demands less power on boot and keep users happy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Nope, as MistahBungle said already, apart from the the 'usual' Sammy battery reporting issues, a 2.5 year battery is the root cause of your problems.

And I don't agree that the reboot is actually using 40% battery to complete (or that a custom rom with its fewer processes will alleviate this). As I said, the voltage is being reported wrongly. However, you won't see the situation improve without buying a new battery. I suggest you buy a genuine Samsung replacement off eBay or similar, IMO there's no point stuffing around with fakes which aren't their claimed capacity.

Hi,

Have a T-Mobile MDA/HTC Wizard.

Is there some GPS software which can connect via Wifi/T-Zones or Internet and do the same routing/function such as a GPS Device?

I dont want to spend $600 to buy a GPS device and then connect it to my MDA. Rather buy some GPS software which can work on the MDA by itself.

Thanks.

No GPS software is going to work properly without a GPS receiver from which to extrapolate your current position.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markgamber:
If you want GPS capability of any kind at all, you will need to get a receiver, period. There's nothing GPS related on the phone except for a settings applet that is disabled by default and only lets you set the port of a bonded receiver. There's also no way a network connection is going to be able to determine your position and software that attempts to do so using cell towers are only accurate to within a few miles, if it works at all. There's a bunch of receivers available on ebay (and elsewhere) for cheap...I got a Holux GPSlim236 for a little over $100 and it works great with the wizard via bluetooth. They are your options....getting a receiver or forgetting about it.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] markgamber:
Depends on what you want. If you have the phone already, $100 for a GPS unit and maybe $100 for decent mapping software is a whole lot cheaper than $500-$800 for a decent Garmin unit. Plus you get a phone and a PDA out of the deal. I went on vacation a few weeks ago and the mapping software plotted a route and told me how to get there. Once there, I used slingplayer to watch my home cable channels while sitting on the beach, I used the camera to take pictures of the beach and whatnot, the network connection to upload those pictures to a phlog, IM with friends and coworkers and check the weather and news with IE. Oh yeah...and it rang when I got a phone call or text message. Then it plotted a route back home (presumably the same way backwards but I didn't really check) and told me how to get there. Depends on what you want. :-)

TomTom can work with other bluetooth receivers. Works with my Holux, at least.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] icecrime:
I strongly advise you to check the type of GPS chip used in the receiver. The best one for the moment seems to be the Sirf star 3.

It's not as much of a detail as you may think : older chips can take a very long time to get fixed (which means that you might wait for dozens of minutes before even getting a GPS position), and are usually more power consuming.
