Can some please tell me how disable Pullup Fakejap from the DN3 V5+ rom. I just cant seem to find the setting for this. :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warlycastro:
1. HOLD THE HOME SCREEN (LIKE IF YOU WANT TO ADD WIDGET ON IT)

2. THEN YOU WILL SEE THREE OPTIONS WALLPAPER, WIDGETS and HOME SETTINGS (LAUNCHER SETTINGS).

3. NAVIGATE THE 3RD OPTION. YOU CAN SEE THAT YOU CAN DISABLE IT THERE.

dear all,

i want to root & install recovery

without unlocking bootloader

i had read in below link can someone replied on it

http://motorola-g.blogspot.in/2013/12/how-to-install-cwmtwrp-custom-recovery.html?m=1
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
You can't root without unlocking the bootloader. Bootloader is a sort of a security lock to prevent any messing about with the firmware.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azhar.munshi:
Can u check link that its guide for installing recovery then if I flash kernel through recovery then it will root on lock boot loader

In Sony its possible that we can root without unlocking boot loader

Please reply

I don't want to lose my warranty

Thanks in advance
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
Even the method in the link requires an unlocked bootloader. You can't root without unlocking the bootloader. Either way of you root you'll lose your warranty.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metpolds:
[MENTION=3939323]azhar.munshi[/MENTION].... It can't be stated more plainly than [MENTION=5585603]rudi_j7[/MENTION] has put it ----YOU CANNOT ROOT OR INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER ---- it is no use trying to quote links stating how it is done to Moto G devices because those links don't exist, and what is the point of quoting "Sony" devices when we are dealing with the Motorola Moto G.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marco_nx:
Owners of Moto X and E are able to root without unlocking bootloader
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
Rooting without unlocking the bootloader usually involves an unpatched exploit of some kind. An OTA could make you lose root on a permanent basis, and you may or may not be able to flash kernels, which would be an issue for custom ROMs.

Either way, no such method has been posted for the Moto G yet.

is there any solution, that i can unlock my phone to use different sim card currently its looked at Telenor Serbia? i know s2 has some programs, etc but is that legal i don't want to brake my warranty or phone? and if its possible how to do that i mean in anyway, but not brake anything? i will backup i just wanna be sure its safe... and btw my phone is i9105p
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mijalkocar:
anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Zeljkoa:
Hi my friend. I think that you can't unlock your sim card without losing your warranty. You just can go to the near mobile service and pay 1000RSD for unlock SIM
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mijalkocar:
okay but there isn't any application like for s2 to do this simple hack and u have unlocked phone? if i wanna pay i wouldn't ask here
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] Zeljkoa:
There is no app for that. Like I told, You just can do that in service.

Edit: logically if newer devices was possible to break the sim.unlock, note that this 2 devices has same BCM processor too, keep tryin'

OrdinaryNoob
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] mijalkocar:
one more question, if i try different firmwares that wouldn't brake anything on my phone? i am thinking to flash serbian telekom firmware, maybe it will then work, now i am downloading Italian firmware, and i will try it
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] SH1M4BD3:
Its just software based, nothing to worry about, language problem, may its not containing your local language. Make sure that you better try firmware which its not containing any provider/carrier even other carriers

Thanks for the review :)

I don't have a TyTn (not fond of the headphone connector or microSD) but I just ordered a case for my device, based on your review! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] warmkiwi99:
do you know if you can get a windscren suction mount that will conect to the belt clip screw on the back of the case?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] jasjamming:
Hi

Piel Frama have a windscreen suction mount that attaches itself to the belt clip screw. Its great as you do not have to remove the TyTn from the case.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] sn00x:
I've alse bought this case two month ago. I think it's the best case available!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] basilrsa:
I also ordered this case based on the great review, but was dissapointed when it arrived.

1. The fold over flap is very loose due to the press stud being incorrectly positioned.

2. The phone casing has no protection from the press stud base. this could cause danage with time due to the movement between the case and the phone casing

3. Velcro would have been the answer in place of the press stud and magnet.

But hey, maybe I got a Monday case!

I have gone back to my OEM case.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] mikegoldnj:
How is the phone held in the case? Is there a plastic band of some sort as there is in most of the other cases?

XDA Orbit PDA case

does anyone know of a leather case to fit an o2 XDA "ORBIT" PDA (in UK) I want one that sits "portrait" style on the belt, more like the Motorola V3i flip - I have found nothing worth having yet, even the KRUSEL case which is the closest design has a plastic belt clip that adds far too much thickness to the phone and is also breakable, not like the spring steel type as per Motorola !

Please help as this is stopping me from using my ORBIT PDA as the Motorola is far easier to use - you can take it off your belt, open it and use it ONE HANDED its so easy. wHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN MADE YET ??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scheirere:
Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting my brother's GS4 to work with his Ford Sync system in his vehicle. According to Ford, the GS4 with ME7 firmware is compatible. However, his rooted phone is on MDK firmware. Can I install that firmware on his phone and will it limit what rom's I can run on it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
If that phone is on MDK it can run anything really without an issue. A ton of options are available for it. I'd suggest a Kit Kat ROM myself... Unless your in love with a certain ME7 based ROM .

Does that phone have a custom recovery on it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scheirere:
Yep, TWRP 2.7.0.1 recovery. It currently is running the AOSP Google Edition ROM, which he is happy with. Can I just change the firmware to ME7 and keep everything else the same?

Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scheirere:
BTW, that rom is a kitkat 4.4.2 based ROM.

Also, I forgot to ask......If I change the firmware, can I change back if need be? Any downsides to changing from the MDK firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
I'm thinking that maybe Ford Sync works with everything from ME7 and up. I don't think you need to specifically be on ME7.

I've seen others on here running Kit Kat ROMs and having no problems with Ford Sync.

Your list of ME7 based ROMs isn't going to be that big. However you have many many options of 4.3 ( MJ7 & MK2 ) and 4.4 ( NC5 ) ROMs to choose from.

What ROMs have you tried? Some have minor Bluetooth connectivity issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
If you flash a firmware. ..you will lose the mdk. ..so don't do that...you can flash others roms and kernels that won't effect the firmware.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] scheirere:
Thanks a bunch guys! That's what I was afraid of, regarding the firmware. Hmm......he was running a different rom before when he had all the issues. We just went to this rom recently and he went back to his GS3 until I could sort this phone out. I'll have him try the GS4 again with this rom and see if it works any better. Thanks again!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
My GS4 has worked with Sync when running ME7, MI1, MJ7, MK2, and NC5. Never had any issues since I got the phone.

(Sure wish it had been a MDK phone, of course.)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SooSpecial:
Hi all,

I just got the Z2 for my fiancé as she wanted the best camera in a phone. All is going well except for call quality.

She hears everybody just fine but people complain that they can't hear her well. I've been reading online and some people are having the same issue even after replacing the phone.

Is it something to do with positioning the mic or could be a faulty hardware? She has an average (small) female face/head size. Could it be because the mic is just too far away from the mouth? Or something to do with noise-canceling mic?

EDIT: updated the phone to 402 and still she still has the same issue

I don't think it's a issue with the mic because it's exactly the same when I use a headset.

I'm going to try a factory reset, and if that doesn't solve anything I'll return it under warranty.

What carrier is everyone using? Im using T-Mobile and am in a great coverage area, but have heard T-Mobile sucks for voice quality. I just attributed it to that. Could it really be the phone? I've used the handset, speakerphone, noise-canceling headphones and Bluetooth headphones. I've even used Google Voice over data, and used Google voice over phone. I'll try to track it better and see what the results are.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ripan:
For me there seems to be two things affectin quality. Noice reduction is very aggressive, especially when I move phone even a little away from my mouth and when in bad reception area. If signal gets below 2 bars(3g) it's very bad.
