[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adikhan:
i got xperia z2 yesterday ,my ist android phone .the only issue i am facing is that it doesnt connect to my wifi router. while all my other electronics are connected and working properly. i have tried restarting the phone and also the factory reset but it didnt work. i made hotshot on my iphone 5s and tried xperia z2 to connect with it and it did connect and worked perfectly fine. but with my home router it doesnt connect .so anyone has any idea what is the issue? is it phone issue or software bug? as i am very stressed
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikrh:
I had this exact same issue but after all it was just a brain fart (mea culpa!); it turns out I had my router configured to not accept new terminals automatically so the phone was never going to connect to the router, so I just turned off the option and that's it :D
[Verizon LG G3] just4747:
There haven't been any leaks or info specific to the Verizon version yet, but do you think Verizon will be the only carrier on Earth again to force their awful logo on the upper front bezel again...misaligned and horrible looking? This would, even moreso than the G2, ruin a beautiful phone. I will be very upset as I am planning on buying it.

Not to mention, will they change the back pattern/look or rear buttons again? So far, there have been a few Amazon case leaks supposedly with all carrier versions fitting the same case...so hopefully the buttons will not change this time. But no guarantees on anything :(

I'm really hoping it's exactly the same as the others this time.

[Verizon LG G3] AngryDinosaur:
but there is very little bezel real estate for them to put a logo on, the most possible place is the bottom, but that will touch the LG logo.
[Verizon LG G3] 20degrees:
They will just watermark it on the actual screen this time around.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
I don't know where they can put a logo on in the front, there's no room. They certainly can't touch the LG logo at the bottom. Perhaps it will be like my S4 where it just says OEM name on the front and the "Verizon 4GLTE" branding on the back. I'm okay with that as long as it doesn't take up 1/2 the back.
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
I hadn't even noticed the VZW logo on the front of my G2 until the OP mentioned it.
[Verizon LG G3] just4747:
U serious? Lol. Its the most obvious and ugly thing a phone could have. Just compare to any other G2 version. How can they ruin the beautiful seamless, black front..aside from the LG logo which looks fine.
[Verizon LG G3] rfarrah:
If a vzw logo is the worst thing about the G3, I think I can handle it. I'm trying to work up a "give a ****" about it. Can't.
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
I see an empty space on the top right..... I can see Verizon logo there again.... I am already expecting It just hoping it has one of those same day announcement deal
[Verizon LG G3] VivianC:
My Verizon GNex had the logo on the back. It was on the battery door. Hopefully they will go that route.
[Verizon LG G3] scy1192:
There isn't really any place for it on the front... I'd be fine with it on the back though
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
There is plenty of room on the top bezel for It just like the g2. It'll be there
[Verizon LG G3] leyvatron:
The note 3 has it on the back. Lets hope its in the back.
[Verizon LG G3] dadsterflip:
Lol yep.... Verizon logo on the top right corner ......
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
This falls squarely in my 'who really cares' category. If it bothers you that much, don't buy the phone. Good grief.

I mean, OMG! It says LG on the front, too. How gross!
[Verizon LG G3] Ascertion:
I'm kind of in agreement to this. Sure, I'd prefer it to not be there, but I'm looking at my screen - not the bezels. Although I did cringe a bit with the Verizon icon on the Galaxy Note home button.
[Verizon LG G3] ikenvape:
I think it's rediculous to have branding on the front of the phone, directly in our faces as a constant. Not only is it an annoyance but it feels the phone falls under the flagship category and in with the other no names. Sammy or Apple flagships will never get caught with one in the front.

Did any of you notice the vzw variant doesn't carry the new signature 2 tone face?

It just looks like a g2 with a fancy back now. Pretty pissed as this was going to be my go to.
[Verizon LG G3] Ascertion:
The Galaxy Note 3 (or 2) had the Verizon branding on the front button. And instead of having it in a physical location, Verizon decided to add their logo to the Status Bar of the iPhone. I don't see the phone of any lesser value with an additional Logo on the front. You don't even look at that part of the device.

Sent from my LG-LS980
[Verizon LG G3] ikenvape:
Not necessarily, the GS4, GS5, Note 3, MotoX, and all of Apple does Not have the branding on the front bezel. I understand when you use the phone, vzw wants to show their logo on the back so people can see it. I don't see any reason for them to constantly shine it in our faces on the front. It's BS that they would squeeze in into the tiniest bezel. It just screws up the design and gives the optical illusion that it's larger. G3 owners should receive a discount for advertising! I wouldn't want dealership stickers all over my car as much as my damn phone. Slick wraps will have to cover it in any case.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

Exactly, forget the nasty cow branding. Them screwing with the design (again) is what really is pissing me off. The designer made a work of art and here comes verizon big **** swinging having to put on their beret and modifying it. I'm thinking on taking tmobiles offer and letting them buy me out.
[Verizon LG G3] Jilxz:
That Verizon logo doesn't bother me. I really never notice it and neither do most people.

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

I didn't either and as I said in a post . I don't think most people notice the logo. I certainly don't. I am using my phone , not sitting staring at it.
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
I can understanding people not liking it. But realistically, if you don't like it, then don't buy it - or change carriers... Griping does nothing.
[Verizon LG G3] Tallmedic:
i Think that i can handle it >< :)
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Anyone know how hard it is or if its even possible to remove branding like that? I guess it depends if it's under glass or something but if it's just a label printed on their it should be possible with a sugar cube or alcohol I think.
[Verizon LG G3] Kawaisa:
Not unless you want to destroy the glass.
[Verizon LG G3] CB620:
Logo on front and back.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
I don't care about the logo..but I am disappointed that the front isn't 2 toned. Sprint version got it right
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
actually i like the all black on the front; gives it a nice clean look...the 2 toned looks kinda odd with the black bezel at the top and the body colored bottom bezel.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
It's all about preference. The 2 toned looks very clean because the black goes around the edge of the actual touchscreen making it appear to be connected to the top bezel and separate from the bottom bezel. The solid black front makes it look...well, like every other phone with a black front. I like the different look for a change.
[Verizon LG G3] Badouken:
Am I the only one that finds it frustratingly stupid that the LG G3 is the only 2014 phone at Verizon to have a logo slapped on the front of it? I went to a Verizon store earlier this week and noticed that the HTC M8 and the Galaxy S5 both dont have logos on the front of them... (which suprised me/made me optimistic for the G3) and now Its on the $%#&%$ front of the LG G3!? I know it isnt THAT big of a deal but its just freaking annoying... Im sure ill just end up getting the G3 and learn to ignore the logo over time but still... the fact no other carrier has it on the front is just salt to the wound.
[Verizon LG G3] Fede37:
You poor things! Verizon put their logo on the HOME BUTTON for the note 2! That doesn't happen here, (Argentina) luckily
[Verizon LG G3] big70tom:
For the record in 4 years my kids graduate and my wife and I get to relocate. I am counting the days I move because I will finally be able to drop Verizon. Where I live now its the only option. I'm moving to ask area where Sprint and Tmo both have Exclent coverage. Hell by them they may be one company.

Anyway Verizons version not popping up to me is typical. I'm sure they have done something to change the shape so we get dikked on cases again. I think all of them are wirelessly charged this time though. Just warrior they will screw it up

That image is way to choppy to be considered proof of anything.
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
actually Verizon might be keeping the two-toned effect. Looks like their twitter page just shows the white and black phone. The Black phone has a black bezel on the bottom, but the White phone has the white bezel. Both have black bezels at the top.

[Verizon LG G3] kirdroid:
Lol.. Useless Verizon as usual craps up phones with the ugliest logos and huge amounts of bloat. What a bunch of morons as usual.
[Verizon LG G3] rushless:
It is what Verizon does. I could care less if the logo is pink as long as VZW offers the 3/32 version. I suspect they will low ball with the 2/16 model and charge the 3/32 price. That is also what Verizon does. If the OE offers a lower spec model, that is what VZW sells. One of the reasons VZW dislikes Apple- so many SKUs to manage and they can not force people to buy just one and just sell the 16GB for a 32GB price.
[Verizon LG G3] Rippley05:
What phone has Verizon done that with? I've never seen them carry only a 16gb model and charge a 32gb price if there was a 32 available for that phone.

---------- Post added at 11:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Nice find. I hope so
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
There is no chance Verizon will only offer the 2/16 model. T-Mo and Sprint have both confirmed they will be getting the 3/32, Verizon and AT&T are not going to be left behind. The only way something like this could happen is if a carrier somehow secured a deal with LG to be exclusive for the 3/32 and since 2 carriers have already said they will get it, that's very unlikely.

I have no idea what you're talking about when you say VZW charges the price of a nicer model for a lesser one. **** like that can't happen, the prices are set at a specific value. Verizon just had the M8 with an exclusive week early deal and they only sold the 32GB, I don't think they even offered the 16GB at my store.

And you can't compare what a carrier does with Apple to what it does with Android phones, Apple products are a completely different universe.

I'm not a fan of some of VZW's practicies, but the stuff you're saying is completely ludicrous.
[Verizon LG G3] CisternaChyli:
Lets hope LG sticks to the 32GB/3GB model, like how Tmobile and Sprint are doing.
[Verizon LG G3] KachowPow:
The thing that bums me out is that Sprint is SUPPOSE to be the ONLY CARRIER to receive the Shine Gold colored device. I'm sure everyone has heard about that. Which means we get a choice of Black, White, "Pink" or "Purple."

​

Oh, yeah. Don't forget LG is releasing a Developer Edition of the G3, which they did a preview of it for T-Mobile.

I think this thread has run it's course... We all know US carriers like to put their names in front of as many faces as possible. This is not something new or surprising.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashbang173:
If you are rooted you can go into Titanium backup and Freeze SDM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BoulderGeek:
I just got my i545 and had the same issue. The new phone (bought off Ebay) has MJ7 and the 4.4 update was beating me to death.

I rooted with the method in the General forum sticky. Then, I paid for the Titanium Backup registration key. With that, I could freeze FWUpgrade.apk and SDM.apk. No more prompting.

I added Safestrap after that. use the 3.71 version linked in Hashcode's thread (Safestrap-JFLTEVZW-3.71.apk). With this, I could get the 4.3 to activate Hotspot tethering ( I am still on grandfathered Unlimited). Voila, everything works just the way i want it to.

I am unsure if I want to go to 4.4 at this point. I would eventually like to have CM11. But, with 4.3 and tethering working, I am pretty satisfied with this phone already. It is miles ahead of my HTC Thunderbolt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You don't need safestrap for tethering but if it works it works right? 4.4 isn't anything special anyway and you'll probably never be able to flash CM or any AOSP ROM anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
no route to flash any CM or ASOP based ROMS unless you have a mdk base S4...

OK had the Universal for a year now....

Only just started using true VGA so really didn't get much advantage from that VGA screen.

Love the fact that the Universal protects the screen but still like the idea of a smaller device with keyboard and lovely scroll wheel (slurp).

So has anyone gone from a Universal to a Vario II????

Is it an upgrade/better/what's your feeling on the change?

Mmmmm shiny new toy's
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Slave1:
I'm toying with the same idea. The only advantage I can see is HSDPA.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bydandie:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] El_Mar1ach1:
Yeah...I sold an exec to buy an hermes! I'm very very happy! However, It has some problems...wich? voicemail notification, screen alignment, keyboard, a2dp and notification. Somebody has camera problems too...so I can say that this unit is a great unit but it still has some bugs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
Re: Upgrade from Universal to Vario II???? I did..and happy!

I've had the Universal, Wizard & Prophet. It's down to personal preferance, but I for one prefer this device over the others. If size wasn't an issue I'd say stick with the Universal for that raw 520Mhz CPU and VGA screen and very user friendly keyboard. But as size is an issue, the Hermes does have a couple of added benefits i.e. superb 2MP Camera and Camcorder and pretty good one-handed device which with its many buttons and AE button (3rd party appl) is extremely customisable. Additionally, for a QVGA screen, the display is pretty damn good, but not comparable to a VGA screen.

Finally, you won't be getting much bang for your buck in switching, it's just down to preferance. Good luck.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Codeus:
I have gone from O2 Exec (Universal) to HTC TyTN (Hermes / Vario II).

The Universal has the faster CPU as mentioned elsewhere but the internal memory of the TyTN is faster. I did some rough tests which I have posted below for info.

Over all the TyTN looks faster but its worth noting it has an easier job to do graphics-wise with a 320x240 screen instead of the Universal's 640x480 to render all the time.

That said - none of this is as important as which device best suits you. I love my TyTN for it's (much) smaller size, 802.11g wi-fi and fast browsing. Your needs / preferences are bound to be different.

Codeus
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jah:
@supermoocow

I have both and I would recommend the TyTN because of its portability. The keyboard and screen of the TyTN obviosuly are not as good as the Universal but the TyTN is faster in everyday usage and there is no delay when there is an incoming call and the device aletering you. Also I am sure the TyTN has a lot more free RAM for user apps (will need to check when I'm home tonight); the TyTN has at least 32mb free.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] battletank:
Yes - I've got both, and find the Hermes is far better as a 'phone' - not only is it smaller and more portable, but little things like successfully answering or placing a call just work, which is nice.

It's not just HSDPA; I find the radio is much more stable; I used to be frustrated by the Universal not having signal in many areas, whilst now I rarely lose UMTS connection, nevermind having no connection at all.

There are compromises, but ultimately it feels like a true upgrade to me. Maybe with future ROM's, the Universal will achieve parity on some areas, but it will never feel comfortable in my jeans pocket...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] supermoocow:
Hi guys,

yep got a vario II just over a month ago :D

Yep its one sweet device. Had to change first one due to screen alignment however second one seems fine (although seems slower at picking up 3G areas than 1st one for some reason...).

Vario

Nice comfortable size to take to work/client sites etc.

Actually works as a phone (i.e. picks up calls before they hangup...etc...)

3.5g is cool

tmobile web n walk is sooo much sweeter than o2 data plans ;)

Universal

wifi seems better....I know is only b but gets signals better & doesn't drop so much

keyboard a lot better

VGA screen :p

So I use vario II day to day and still use the universal in the house for internet browsing (yep have a tablet pc but its just so cool using the universal ;) ).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dajtw:
I bought the Vario II on T-mobile contract mainly to get the web'n walk feature and my contract with O2 was running out. I didn't see myself as being able to fully give up the VGA screen (indispensable for Tom Tom) as well as the speed of the Exec (only on paper, never found it stunningly fast)but was thinking maybe I can use the Vario II every now and then. Well as it turned out, my Exec's now sitting around gathering dust with the Vario being with me everywhere.

Apart from the size factor which turned out to be a massive factor, one major point that the VarioII has which Exec doesn't is full compatibility with the 3G networks in Japan; apparently with the Exec, it only supports one particular 3G frequency or something but Japan's Docomo uses another band which the Exec doesn't support. Given teh Vario's operation in Japan, it makes it (personally) the clear winner; anyone want to buy an Exec? :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vijay555:
Hermes is very nice.

Fast, good form factor, usable keyboard.

On Orange UK, the button layout is perverse, bags of free space on the front, but they squeeze the buttons into 0.8cmx1.5cm of almost unsuable space. I don't use any of the front buttons now - product testing must have been done by Kylie Minogue or someone similarly digitally challenged.

However, it's very nice, slightly chunky but worth it.

Use VJLumos and get a very bright screen as well.

I don't use 3G, but would certainly have bought it if I had access to web n walk - it's getting to the point where there's no point having these phones without an unlimited data contract.

Design is generally ok, although Vario II does come in menstrual colours.

Audio+mini usb is bad :( and unjustified.

I sorely miss VGA, and can't understand why they don't accelerate introduction of VGA screens across the line.

But generally, fast, good form, loud, bad buttons (on Orange 3100), does the job, best thing available right now from HTC that isn't Artemis or Trinity.

I'm trying to help an uncle out that lives a ways away. I don't have a Windows phone so I am not able to help walk him through over the phone. I'm wondering if there's some kind of cloud or something that I can setup and login for him if he sends me the old phones, and put everything on the cloud to sync to his phone?

Situation:

He has a Nokia 1020 that he uses daily.

He also has an old flip phone and a HTC 8X that he doesn't use anymore.

He wants pictures and a few numbers from the 8X, and some numbers from the flip phone onto his Nokia. How can I help him get it all taken care of without him manually typing everything in.

Ideal scenario would be me setting him up some kinda Windows Live account that I can login to, and I can just submit the numbers into a database, and he can just sync. Is this something that's possible?
[Nokia Lumia 1020] hotphil:
Yep, that's the thing - just create/use a Microsoft account at Outlook.com, sync the Contacts etc.

Forgive me for asking a question that I'm sure that has been addressed her many times lately.

I woke up this morning to my GN3 on Verizon telling me it wants to do the KitKat update. It's stock right now, but my concern is that I'm still on the unlimited data and don't want to lose the ability to run FoxFi and get a hotspot without paying the extra $30 a month.

If I update to KitKat, will I be able to root and will I be able to continue getting the use of the hotspot feature without paying the additional fee?

Thanks.
