[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
If you say you have no ROM installed, then it means you do not have a working phone. Your only option, therefore, is indeed to download a stock ROM and flash via Odin or (custom) recovery. Whichever option you choose, you would need to make sure that you download and flash a compatible ROM, i.e. one that would not brick your phone. Your best bet would be to revert to the same Android version you were on prior to the ROM being uninstalled.

I just put this on my watch. Thought I would share. I like the look of the metal and didn't want to cover it. So I ordered this off ebay. So far it holds up.

The brush metal on the face and the clasp scuff easily. This protection keeps my watch looking new. When a new watch comes out, I can sell this watch in like new condition.
[Samsung Gear 2] plecebo:
BUMP! What works well for everyone?

Yeah i noticed that about my brand new Gear2 already. The brushed metal especially the metal on the clasp area has gotten some scuffs. No scratches on the face metal, yet at least. Also top of that the glass has two very small hair line scratches already! Prompting me to look into a really good dependable screen protector and possibly all around protection setup. Seeing as this one has only had 5 days of use so far.

Did they use gorilla glass on the screen or is it just straight up glass? I also advise buyers to buy a protector lest they end up with a large scratch in 2 years or so.

Thinking of making a thread devoted solely on gear 2 protection but I want to bump this one up some first!

Guys recommend what you got and tired so far and how well its worked out so far. ;)

BUMP!!!

[Samsung Gear 2] Tyboy4U:
I use 2 layers of Scotch Tape on the clasp, one layer on the lens and on/off button side, packing tape on the face. Works just as good. Cost me nothing. Use a hobby knife to trim the excess tape.

If this product was available when the Gear 2 first came out, I would have bought it, but they don't ship to my country anyway.

As I have not had a phone I could use before in Europe, I was wondering if I could get some opinions as to which way I should go. We plan to be in Europe for about 6 weeks. I do not plan to use the phone except for special circumstances like reservations or emergencies. Nor do I plan to use data except for special reasons.

So I have read some posts about using my phone in Europe, but under my conditions was wondering what someone with recent experience might recommend I do.

Thanks,

Bob
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] moonknightus:
On the newly released ND8 KitKat ROM, the full signal icon for the 6-bar indicator is slightly larger than the other signal icons (40x40 vs 40x36). This causes the signal indicator to appear to jump around or enlarge when you have a full signal and is especially annoying when you have a signal that constantly fluctuates between 5 and 6 bars. This mod replaces the full signal icon with the correct size. I have used criskelo's modified VRTheme installer to accomplish this and since it only swaps out a single, non-patch9 PNG file, it should work on both ODEX and DEODEX versions of the ND8 stock ROM, but it's only been tested by myself on the ODEX ROM.

EDIT: Removed due to some extra stuff being included. I'll get an updated one posted tonight. Fixed and uploaded. Thanks to tdunham for pointing this out. For anybody that used the original zip, just restore your SecMMS.apk from a stock backup or stock ROM and you should be good to go.

I use to have gmail working fine, then all of a sudden it stopped working one day. I've since deleted and re-added the account several times now and still nothing. It says it connects, and it takes the time to download all of the headers etc. however nothing shows up in the inbox? Is there a way to browse the system files to view if it's actually downloading the headers at all?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] 0REDEYES0:
Weird...The exact same thing happened to me. I did what you did...created a new account on the phone and it says downloading headers, but nothing appears in the Inbox. I'm stumped and a little ticked off that since it was working so well, I started to rely on it more than I should.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mcwarre:
use smtp rather than imap. works fine
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] fr4gm0nk3y:
There is no imap feature for google mail, you have to use pop3, which is what I use. Regardless it was working fine before... now it just doesn't work at all.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dangerous_dom:
Welcome to the world of gmail. Now that the dust has settled, people are starting to see that this really is a beta.

My advice would be to wait patiently. There is probably nothing you can do, it's an issue with gmail. I have had all sorts of problems with gmail, especially with pop3. I reckon it will sort itself out soon enough.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] masr1979:
Did you double check how much you set it to download from the message (The screen where you pick to download either headers or full messages) and made sure that require ssl and outgoing mailserver requieres authentication are checked?. It sometimes doesn't work for me, but it's cause of my GPRS connection, I have the $6 t-zones manually set up. Sometimes when I'm trying to check it it won't open the connection, but if I go into connections and open the connection manually it works fine. That's not very common place though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Starcruiser1229:
When I used gmail pop3 it always seemed buggy (on the wizard...), my solution was to have gmail forward a copy of all mail to a free mail2web exchange acc't, and it then gets pushed to the phone. Works flawlessly for me, however, deleting messages read in one place won't effect the other, and outgong mail from the wizard will be from your mail2web address (there may be a way to spoecify a diff sending address, not sure...)

I know this is not really the answer to your problem, but It is what I did...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bhang:
my prob. seemed to be to many msgs

i just changed the pop setting that says"all mail"or "just mail from now on" to just from now on and it seems to be working, before i had 249 headers to display, i also changed storage to my SD

There is a gentleman on this site who has offered to setup people on an exchange server that he has setup. It's free, but he does take donations.

Stock-based 4.3 is still better and more solid for me, I tried other custom Roms like CM and they are still buggy atm(hope they improve in time). They have low volume sound, random freezes, nav bar laggy, etc.

And btw, my nova launcher has transparent status bar and nav bar on that stock-based ROM. Give it a try.

Hi,

I am trying to unroot my phone since 3 DAYS!!! :crying::crying::crying: and whenever I follow the steps it gets stuck at about 9% and says that it cannot connect to my phone. I have downloaded the drivers and my computer does recognize the device when I plug it in. I have tried windows 7 and windows 8.1. Does anyone have any idea?

It says:

CDC Serial : No driver found

MTP : No driver found

LGE Android Phone : No driver found

This only shows when the phone goes into the firmware update mode its at 0% and this comes up.

These are the steps I have taken:

1. Installed drivers

2. Downloaded .rar and supporting files

3. Installed the LG Mobile support tool

4. Installed the flash tool

5. Reboot in download mode..follow steps. Doesn't recognize phone is plugged in (even after you can hear it make the noise when I do plug it in to go to download mode)

I have followed the automatic .vbs script from XDA LG G2 Back to stock thread.

Thank you in advance!

I'm in the market for a case as i just ordered my M8 a few days ago. I'm mostly concerned about the case not scratching up the metal casing and enough elevation around the camera lens all while not taking away from the thin frame of the phone

One thing I would possibly be worried about is it blocking the IR blaster. From the photos it seems like the power button, and the top bar is completely covered with rubber. Not sure... just an observation.

I337ATTFNB1 firmware? Is it worth switching from MLD to NB!?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
Only issue is warranty. But, if you got MDL that may be mute. Otherwise, you can flash NB1 or even NC2 roms. I see no reason not too--:good:

Oops, misread--thought you meant the early MDL build. I don't remember MLD as I rooted back in April/May 2013. You have to find change logs. I still think newer is usually better though--:)

I experienced an issue with maps on the FMLD leak.

If you are currently on the FMLD 4.4 leak you can upgrade to NB1 or even the latest NC1 firmware while maintaining the option to Odin flash back to factory stock MK2. Just don't flash the NB1 or NC1 bootloaders. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692825

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
That rom can be flashed with or without SafeStrap. So, if you are on the MDL bootloader you can flash whatever you want. If MF3 or higher there are restrictions to certain TW roms and no aosp/aokp roms.

If you are using SafeStrap, go to General and read up on your bootloader and what roms you can use. There are different SafeStrap versions too. I am not up on newer BL's and SafeStrap. Just the basics with it--:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jsimsfour:
I'm on mk2 4.3 but I'll look for it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
OK, if that's your bootloaoader then you are using SafeStrap. So will need to check out the General threads on builds mk2 and higher.

Also, someone will probably give you exact info here that has that experience--:)

Hello,

If asked can Google block a device by its serial number to prevent it from ever being allowed to use Google services?

If so, does that mean Google can help users locate a device if it is connected to a WiFi? whether from existing user account or from a new Google account?

This doesn't only apply to a stolen devices but in case a seller decide to screw around with a buyer of a used devices.

Would appreciate some feedbacks.

Thank you.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uberNoobZA:
If your phone is network locked, then flashing a new ROM will not unlock it, as it is the IMEI that is network locked, not the firmware on the phone.

I got my phone from Vodafone UK and unlocked it the next day using a code from www.unlockunit.com. Cost about $25. I did not have to root / flash the phone, as I simply put in a SIM card from a network other than the one my phone is locked to and the phone asked me for an unlock code.

I have no idea if ATT firmware will stop working once you unlock your phone. but I can confirm that the Vodafone UK firmware on my phone is still working fine.

I recently updated my I9300 to 4.3. The file I used to flash was obtained from sammobile.com:

TEL-I9300TDUUGNC1-20140418172117

I updated using Odin and all appears to have gone well. The phone is working and reports the correct version, expected baseband etc.

However, since I flashed, I am unable to get Odin to recognize the phone in download any more. The PC does not acknowledge the device was plugged in and no COM boxes light up. In short, the device seems to have the USB port disabled when in download mode now. Odin no longer seems to recognize the device.

Does anyone know why flashing 4.3 might result in Odin no longer recognizing the device?

To avoid clarifying questions:

- I'm using a Samsung original cable. It's the same one I used to flash the device to 4.3 with.

- I've tested this cable with another device, a GS4, which shows up just fine in download mode.

- I've installed the latest Kies.

- I've tried Odin3 v1.85 and v3.07

- I've tried looking at the PC and phone with a stern expression.

So i recently installed Themer on my brand new Galaxy s5. I press the home button and selected themer. My phone turned black and didn't turn on, so i turned off my phone. When i turned it back on it passed the galaxy startup image and went to my Verizion screen. There it froze. I had to remove the battery and it turned back on.

Hi deathadder7,

Please try this method, as it should help fix the issue:
