[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revnu:
HI

I just bought me the g pad 8.3 (updated to kitkat) and asking myself how far Im going with costum-ROMs, rooting etc.

From my Galaxy S2 I know, that costum ROMs are a good choice, but with that old smartphone I had no concerns about warranty.

With my G Pad I now asking myself if I only root, or if Im going to flash a costum ROM on it. I really need the xposed framework and some apps with root,......so perhaps xposed will be enough to add some mods.

Im just a little bit concerned about warranty issues so can someone plz tell me what I have to watch out for to not void it ?

In case I have to use warranty I could simple unroot and factory reset ? Or should I flash back orginalimage I backed up before ?

How is it if I use ROMs?,.......from my galaxy S2 I remember that you had to watch out to not increase the flashcounter, etc

Can someone plz kill be concerns by updating my knowledge about this.

thx 4 any help.

I know the question sounds a bit general,....

...but it would really help me if someone can tell me a safe way, how I can first backup the stock image, so I can reflash, after rooting,etc, then turning back the device for warranty.

any tips are welcome

thx revnu

Warranty

You can't root or flash ROMs without voiding warranty, but you can restore it with the LG software and then your warranty is back.

Hello! Today i wanted to update to the new 4.4.2 ROM from E-team (DN3 v5). So after i format data, system, internal sd, wipe cache and dalvik cache, i install the new rom. No problem, when the install is finished i wipe cache/dalvik cache and i reboot. After that i'm stuck on boot (samsung logo). Can anyone tell me what did i do wrong? Before updating i had DN3 v3.2 and i had no problems.

P.S. I am using the latest TWRP Recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamertr:
Hi. I suggest you to format the internal storage with TWRP Recovery. This is a full wipe procedure. After that install the ROM again and reboot. If that does not work check your bootloaders version. Reinstall the boot loader or install a never one. But first try the first step.

Good luck...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkn3ss88:
Thanks for the reply! I already formatted internal storage when i installed it. I don't understand the thing with these bootloaders. How can I check which version i'm on?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
Switch to philz ,re do all the wipes for your internal sd card by clicking on "wipe to install a new rom" and wipe cache/partition and by going under advance wipe dalvik cache as well.Flash your rom then. You can switch to philz from twrp by flashing the philz.zip file from here just transfer the zip file to your external sd via card reader and just reboot into your recovery.if you dont have a card reader on you then you can flash philz .tar file in download mode via pc odin.

Philz
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myk1709:
do you have the latest TWRP?

if not then you need to update it is has to 2.7.0.0 or above
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkn3ss88:
I already tried with the latest TWRP but didn't manage to get it working.

I just installed the latest philz and bang, it worked! Before installing latest TWRP i had an older version of philz (5.x) and maybe that was the problem. Thanks man, thanks a lot for your help! :)

EDIT!!!

I tried using windroid but i get "Device: not found" when my phone is plugged into the USB cable, i have HTC sync installed and it fins my phone, USB debugging is also enabled but still "Device: not found", why?!

Hello

I have a HTC one X(from Sweden) with Android 4.2.2 installed on it and i want to root it to upgrade to 4.4. I downloaded "OneXRootOneClick" but when i run the file to root as administrator in windows 7 i get "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command "

i then got the newest Android SDK and unpacked it @ > C:\temp\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools

i then ran the following in CMD

set ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="C:\temp\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools"

set ANDROID_TOOLS="C:\temp\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\tools"

set path=%path%;%ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS%;%ANDROID_TOOLS%

but when i run the file in OneXRootOneClick again i get the very same thing once more, do anyone know why or how i could another way root my android(possibly without a reset)?

Open a command window inside the platform tools folders and place the phone in the bootloader, you should see fastboot USB in red text. Type this in the command window :

dont know if this is right place to ask but, on http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/Dispatcher?menuid=plans_webnwalk says:

do they mean msn,icq etc? if yes i'll cancel my order and tell them stick it to somewhere :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] adam_beasley:
Yes, I beleive that is exactly right, MSN, ICQ etc etc are not allowed at the moment. Under my terms and conditions it says this is to provide a decent experience for other users.

I beleive its purpose is to make people use the sms and voice features of t-mobile, rather than the mainly free use of internet services instead. It is after all there intention to make money on you as a customer.

I *think* they also frown on using your device as a modem for your laptop or pc. Tho i may be wrong on that as they sell the laptop web'n'walk card, but thats on there PRO service.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nolovelust:
how much data can a chat consume anyway, 500kb an hr? at most! bad thing is they might just close msn or icq ports on their network and thats it :(

i dont use to much of it but i wouldn;t like to be prevented from being able to use it

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :evil: :x :roll: :( :shock:

I got My TM vario II this morning.

Fired up w&W then MSM and it works. I await the email telling me to stop.

I the meantime I'm usin it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mattie01:
seems strange they would ship the device with msn instaled if they didn't want you to use it...

maybe they are just reffering to skype and the such but got there terminogloy wrong...

best thing to do i would say is call them up and ask...

worst they can say is no your not allowed..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] adam_beasley:
I think there may be a couple of reasons

1) By letting people use msn or skype you avoid using the networks features. The features t-mobile make money on and are in business for.

2) To see how the network performs with so many people on web'n'walk and payg users also having free access.

Maybe if they think there network is coping well with so many users they may remove this from there terms and conditions.

While breaking the t&c they can cancel your account, your more likely to get a letter asking you to stop it, and only if your causing a problem to other users or congestion to a cell tower.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Al66:
I'm fairly certain that web'n'walk pro is the service used by laptop data cards, they have probably enabled restrictions here to stop heavy usage by laptops, I think the normal mobile services will be safe!

MSN on WnW

In my many calls to T-mobile customer services I have never hidden the fact that I wanted to connect to messenger, and I have never been informed that I cant.

My usage never goes over 2gb, so there is no need for them to look into my account in any depth, nor are there any means of definitively knowing if I am using Messenger anyway!

If you wish you can add the web n walk PRO bolt-on to your account for 9 pounds as opposed to 7.50 for the standard bolt-on. Though all it does is give you peace of mind if you wish to use you phone as a modem, and free access to T-mobile Hotspots.

There is no advantage to upgrading to pro in terms of network speed/usage allowance.

I have been using messenger since april with my web n walk bolt on and have had no issues whatsoever, so read into that what you will.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fil:
Re: MSN on WnW

and just to back up what he said, ive been doing the same since april too!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cseilern:
they dont want you to use any IM not because of traffic, but because of lost revenue.

1 sms is around 10p.

1 sms is 160 bytes max.

1 megabyte is 1'048'576 bytes.

i.e. 1 megabyte carries more than 6500 sms

so: for transporting 1 megabyte of data, an operator has revenues of more than £650

imagine how terrified they are of you overloading their network (i.e. their megabyte trnasport facility if you will) and only give them a miserly £8 every month for it.

basically it is a disaster for them if you do more IM and less sms. Hence the T&C's that say they can boot you from their net if you do that (i dont think they will, but their contract gives them option should they choose).

they are living in never never land if they think they can sustain this for any period of time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nolovelust:
well not sure about msgr but real media streaming banned by t-mobile
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] skipjack:
OK just to clear this matter up.

The MDA VarioII Does NOT support MSN messenger or windows Live Messenger on T-mobile web n walk.

This is a big shortfall in my opinion. It doesn't even allow messenger to run even when the radio is turned off and you have USB or wifi connection!

hence the blocking might not be on the 'T-mobile network' but within the registry of the device!

Anyone got any workarounds/ideas on overcoming this?

BTW: Skype™ for Pocket PC works fine!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fil:
but others above have posted it does work on there vario 2s?

maybe somethings not installed / set up correctly on your device?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Nicky:
I have got an MDA Vario II which I purchased direct from T-Mobile via their Website a couple of weeks back on one of their Web'n'Walk tarriffs. MS Messenger was pre-installed on it and I have had no problems logging on and chatting. Surely if they don't want you to use Messenger, they wouldn't include it in the software bundle.

I don't see any problem using it as long as I use it fairly and make sure I don't exceed their fair use limits.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] undergrid:
Not only was it installed on my Vario II, the t-mobile customized manual actually tells you how to set it up. I did query this on a number of occasions and the responce I got was always the same, IMing is not allowed on either web'n'walk or web'n'walk pro.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrleoni:
I have a T-Mobile MDA Vario II, which came pre-installed with Mobile messenger. I installed live messenger mobile, and it worked fine, as it did on my MDA Pro until Microsoft threw a spanner in the works. Messenger is NOT blocked on the Vario II - that is total Bo***cks.

We are all suffering the same problem. I just hope hey bring out the new CAB soon because Agile is just soooooo rubbish in comparison.

I'm waiting with baited breath.

Which programs run?

Hi guys,

sorry for reactivating this old thread. However, I was just wondering if some of the T-Mob UK WnW users could tell me which communication programs they can use without trouble. I experience the following situation:

1.) Live Messenger runs without any problem

2.) Can't get ICQ to work

3.) Skype is possible, though text chat with Skype is not

4.) Couldn't get Fring to work

Can someone please confirm these? Additionally, I'd like to hear whether or not someone managed to use VoIP with the standard WnW bolt on.

N.B.: Don't want to stirr up the "legal" discussion, just want to talk about the technical aspects...:)

Cheers,

Hi there,

I use a gt-i9505 S4 with xposed framework and kt custom Kernel.

Since some weeks my s4 shuts down and there is a jump in the battery:

Is there any way I can find out, what is causing these spontaneous shut downs?

Because I absolutely have no idea :/

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeGerard:
Hello everyone.

I'm running on cocore 9.8 and ikaster's pure vanilla rom, with hungarian baseband. I would say I'm moderately satisfied with the phones performance most of the time. I mean apps run smoothly, except when I have a program running(lets say WAZE, facebook, clash of clans, or even poweramp) and I get a call. This makes the phone lag hard, if it manages to proceed to showing the dial screen in time, and I get to actually pick up the phone, it still lags for about 5-10 second while the calling party is waiting for me to join the conversation. What I must say could be really embarrassing and annoying. What I am looking for is a solution for this. What I thought about, is to set up a process what clears my memory, or exit the application running right when the call comes in. Since 95% of the time I'm not doing anything uninterruptable on the phone (clash of clans or facebook) I wouldnt mind shutting down Everything for a call. Because it's a phone afterall, and I want to be able to pick it up.

I'm also ready to switch rom's if it is necessary to obtain better multitasking or prioritizing, if it's worth the hassle. I've been reading the hyped roms lately, but the responses are pretty mixed, and I'm not confident enough it is worth spending hours on installing a different rom(i know installing takes minutes, but costumizing, installing applications, and generally getting familiar with the new stuffs could take a whole bunch of time), I would love to try them all, but I just dont have the time to mess around with it. Besides I have work calls to make quite often. I'm aware that you are not allowed to recommend any rom (try it for yourself is the policy), but I would like to know if you think I could get better experience if I switch maybe to the indian baseband or the latest italian, or go with cm 10.2, even if there is any way to fix this problem.

How i got along with the phone is that I clean the background applications mostly after I'm done using the phone for now, this way it responds fine, and works alright. But sadly I can't do that when a call comes in. I don't even understand why this is have to go this way, since what I've read is that the OS should deal with the background applications and ram management, but somehow it doesnt seem to work as smooth as it should and it often requires manual cleaning. Also i do not use task killers (i've read they do more harm than good), I do it manually long pressing the home button.

again what i see as the easiest and 'best' option is to find a way to make the phone do this automatically whenever a call comes in, and possibly do it before the ram gets filled up and the phones goes numb.

Thank you for your help in advance
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soul TKR:
When going to bed tonight do these steps.

1. Put your phones brightness display on the lowest setting

2. Plug your phone in for an overnight charge, do not "turn off" your phone.

3. Wake up in the morning :D

4. Click the power button on your HTC ONE M7

Did the screen turn on? Are the Soft Keys the only part that lights up?

I've been able to replicate this problem over and over on 3-4 different HTC ONE M7's. For some reason the phone's display will not turn on in the morning. The only way to get it to is to either hold down the power button for a few seconds and the restart screen will pop-up which activates the screen again. Or, to do a complete restart.

Eventually the screen starts working again like normal after fiddling with it for 15-20 minutes...

I believe this is either a KitKat problem or light sensor problem or both. I do know this issue was never around before the KitKat upgrade months back.
