[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] skyhigh73:
One of the major Samsung`s disadvantages is the poor support and updates for their whole products starting from smart phones to tablets.

For example Galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition was released in October 2014 with Jelly Bean 4.2 and just weeks ago Samsung started to roll out 4.3 for that great tablet. While they have released the Note Pro 12.2 with the kitkat 4.3 on January 2014...

"If you wanna the recent updates and software go and get their new product or you have to wait for a long time till you get the updates"

I think this is Samsung`s Policy.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
Samsung does often appear to be neglecting devices when it comes to updates. Fact of the matter is, 99% of the time the cause is a significant problem in the software adaptation.

The Note 3 was the very first non-nexus device to get 4.4.2, so it's not always the case.

You can't measure the release by Nexus standards. The Nexus-release is a glorified beta-test.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] skyhigh73:
I don`t think so...

Simply there are 2 devices with almost the same hardware specs (Note 10.1 and Note Pro) the first one (10.1) has recently started to get the 4.4.2 update while the Note Pro was released with the Kitkat 4.4.2 on January 2014.

Another example, the upcoming tablets 10.5 S/Note 4/ Tab 4/...etc will be released with the recent updates 4.4.3 which is still not available for any other Tab/Note/Smart Phone...

I think it is not the matter of software adaptation but the priority goes for the upcoming products not those already released....
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Dragoon Aethis:
OEMs can access Google's internal Android's sources before they're open-sourced. Nexus isn't a benchmark - it's a public release of already finished firmware, and patching up the final issues, OEM's updates should follow within one-two months, not 6+ months or more. Since Note 3 is still one of their top phablets with no successors, they had to update it quickly enough to make people stay on their devices - if you'd spend 650 pounds on a device and then wait 6 months (if you're lucky) to get an update, you'd probably be pissed off (and rightfully so). They abandon their low-end devices or older flagships quite quickly.

For example, Galaxy S2 (which I own) was updated to 4.1, but not any further, despite being perfectly capable of doing so. According to Samsung, it's because they ran out of memory with TouchWiz bloatware 99.9% folks never use features, despite the fact that S3 was updated to 4.3, and had 1GB RAM - just as S2 did, S2 /system was 512MB, /preload was another 512MB. S3's firmware was ~800MB. So, really, it's just them having crappy business practices.

Another example? Galaxy Mini 2. It's moderately popular in Poland - it's cheap and "just works", and was released with 2.3 - had a couple of point releases, but never got past Gingerbread. There are 4.x ROMs for this phone here, and they're fast and fine. Capable - just Samsung's not interested. Okay, they were - and eventually announced that no update will be released.

I'm honestly admiring Microsoft for their WP8.1 upgrade policy.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Been there, done that. . My experience with a Verizon galaxy tab 10.1 was enough to convince me not to buy another Verizon variant of a Samsung tablet. If samsung is slow at releasing updates it only gets worse on carrier versions. Look at AT&T... they put in their FCC application at around the same time as Verizon for the Note probut are only now announcing it. In a world where refreshed hardware is released yearly having a 4 month lag in release is a bit concerning.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] Arnold Burian:
That's a systemic Android issue. Apple puts out updates to their 7 year old devices, but Android devices are always abandoned in less than a year. Hopefully, we'll get better support for this device.
[Moto X Q&A] mug2k:
Hi

I currently have a Moto G and I like it alot apart from the camera and the sound quality via headphones. I had the Galaxy Note 2 before this it was way better on clarity and low end. I understand that it's a much more expensive phone so not really a fair comparison.

I just wondered if anybody had any experience with the Moto G and Moto X and if the X has noticeably better sound quality of the two?

Thanks,
[Moto X Q&A] hovax615@hotmail.com:
I like the sound quality of my headphones on the moto x. I have my old sgs4 headphones but I used my old apple headphones as well and sound quality on the s4 headphones are better than the apple headphones. But it would sound a lot better with viper4android as well

MOTO X
[Moto X Q&A] mug2k:
Thanks for the insight.

Anyone else with an opinion?
[Moto X Q&A] Henrique Belaz:
I do really like my Motorola headphones, but I'm now using my old Samsung ones, as they seem to have clearer sound quality.

And yes, you definitely should install Viper4Android, it's just the best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] snowin:
So I was attempting the tbackup fix posted here and here and lost my internal sd card as described here:P

Any help appreciated - text of the last post linked above as follows:

OK - so after re-booting my internal SD card seems to be "lost". A bunch of apps FC including titanium. I can access my external SD card using ES @ /storage/extsdcard but the /sdcard/ & storage/emulated are all blanks. Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm running ezkat 2.0 ROM for Note ii

Am I looking at a wipe/re-flash - might a dirty flash fix?

When I reboot recovery I can see it @ /storage/sdcard1/ and everything appears to be there still

When I usb to PC it loads as as follows:

but both show empty when I try to open them.

Note - I also posted this question in the eZKAT Q&A thread...hopefully this is ok?

Thanks in advance,

~snowin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Yes ...try a dirty flash first.

If that does not correct the file path then a clean flash may be needed...

TIBU is a good resource...but it also has risk...in that it may restore file information and data that breaks current installations...

That includes the restoration of tibu paths using the fix...

Try a cache wipe then dirty flash....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] snowin:
Thanks for the reply [MENTION=3927388]gregsarg[/MENTION] . I did try a dirty flash earlier with no success - gonna try right away with wiping cahce after I finish re-packing eZ's zip file with my modem (save some time later). If that doesn't work I think I'll try formatting /system then flashing?

What is TIBU?

Thanks,

~snowin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] infamous916:
Tibu is titanium backup

Sent from a 4.4.2 TW Note 2. Jealous?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] snowin:
Problem solved. Ended up having to clean wipe (did it x3 using philz to be sure) and re-flash eZKAT again. Thanks for the help!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
I tried to do a search but didn't come up with anything entirely on point. My issue is when I plug my Z2 into a pc it goes crazy. A whole lot of lag, and any program I use constantly crashes/refreshes and the screen becomes very unresponsive (i.e. if im typing a text, the keyboard drops down and back up every 2s, or a website will flicker and reload, games will load then crash and reload). Eventually the screen turns off and won't come on again until I remove the plug. It also won't charge off the dock charger. It pops up a msg saying battery is draining faster than it is charging. Here are the the things that lead up to this:

1. I was trying to charge it at work with a sony magnetic charging cable ( I hate opening the flap), and it wouldn't register the charger but the screen would come on when connected. It was previously working fine up to that point with the charger. So I was messing with it to see if the contact points weren't touching and the whole phone shut down. I couldn't get it to turn back on until I got home and used the wall charger, everything else just made the LED flash red but not respond to power + volume up or down (which worked after putting on the wall charger for 20m)

2. I got the OTA update for .402 this morning. So when the initial crash happened I was on .69, but I never tested it on the USB before the .402 update. I've tried a few different USB cords, including the one it comes with. Tested the dock charger on both .69 and .402, neither worked. The charging icon just flashes.

Going to try a repair in PCC.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
Well I did a repair. First time around it got half way through updating and auto restoring apps, and it then started failing updates and installs. Rebooted and it boot looped. Redoing the repair, but I'm not hopeful on getting it working properly again :(

I know its under warranty, but since I got imported it from Taiwan are they going to give me a lot of grief to get it fixed/replaced?

EDIT: No dice, still can't use usb to pc or the magnetic charging dock. Really disappointed. No one has any ideas?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
Contacted support via chat, they had me call and they said they don't have parts or the phone in the US to service me yet, and so my options are to call long distance to UK or Tiawan or wait an unspecified time for them to have the phone/parts in the US to service it. Not sure I want to call long distance, who knows how long i'd be on the phone and how big the bill would end up being >.< Pretty sure this will be my first and last import.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
Are you using the original USB cable ?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
Yup, I've tried the one it came with and 3 others.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defsix:
oh.

I'd an older xperia that would get upset when I wouldn't use the original cable. It would cause random touch screen interactions.

If you've tried everything it probably time for a a warranty repair / swapout
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hanano17:
Yeah, that's pretty much what the US sony rep told me. Its just going to be a hassle to contact someone outside of the US. I'm gonna try to email or e-chat before trying an expensive call :/
[Moto G Accessories] Kwipper:
Is it possible to make a Moto G case that connects to the MicroUSB port, which in turn gives it MicroSDHC/XC card support (cards would be plugged into the case itself) and Charging capability? I'd imagine that the case would be a tad on the thick side, which could be beneficial for the sake of protecting the case.
[Moto G Accessories] KDB223:
Nice idea!

I would've bought it if it actually existed. :D

-sent from my little moto beast
[Moto G Accessories] Kwipper:
I know. I am actually surprised that one hasn't been made yet. I am no engineer of any sort, but I am hoping someone sees this and actually gets inspired to make one. I am sure that they would make a killing, because I would buy one for my Moto G in a heartbeat.
[Moto G Accessories] Kwipper:
Borrowing the idea of the battery charging cases that I've seen made for iPhone devices, why can't there something like this be made with a similar design for the Moto G? Just replace the lighting connector with a MicroUSB one, and then add on a MicroSDHC/SDXC card reader slot to the pack somewhere? So now you have a case that is also an extra battery AND has the ability to mount and use MicroSDHC cards.

http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F8W292/
[Moto G Accessories] LEX404:
Yes, it is.

On my old Wildfire S i replaced the battery woth other bigger one, and with a new case.

Look around XDA, somebody put a microSD inside moto G :D
[Moto G Accessories] Darkshado:
The tricky part is doing both at the same time. OTOH the USB-OTG standard is meant for the host device to power the guest and not receive power while doing it. Just tried my OTG adapter with a powered USB hub on my Note 2 to be sure and it's not charging.
[Moto G Accessories] nupi:
There sort of is. It's called the Moto G LTE.
[Moto G Accessories] satanas17:
very nice idea...i'm wondering too...

OTG Case "only" could be a nice solution...

of course...when you want to change every 3 month !!!

C'mon, third party's devs... ;)
[Moto G Accessories] rvail623:
My previous cell phone, a Palm Pixi Plus, had an officially supported Touchstone wireless charging option, which simply replaced the standard back cover with a magnetic charging back cover. And worked very well. To me, something like that would be the ideal solution for the Moto G. Motorola currently offers no officially supported wireless charging solution for the Moto G. The only 3rd party (QI Wireless) charger requires using the miniUSB port for connecting the charging adapter.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IQ2GUFI

There's a web site and youtube video of someone re-wiring a QI Wireless Charging Receiver, so as to not occupy the miniUSB port:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i95W7oI0a80

But: the Touchstone type replacement back cover would be ideal.

[Moto G Accessories] dethrat:
Wireless charging wouldn't work as we have no receiver within the phone and if you put one in you'd need access to the battery. Any wireless charging case will have to use the micro USB port.

[Moto G Accessories] lilrob1213:
I suppose this is more complicated than what you are willing to do? But on the topic of a case with a microsdcard reader built in, has anyone found anything like this?
[Moto G Accessories] lightning.thb:
I was thinking about the theoretical possibility of doing this and I found an image of how to make an OTG Y-Cable. You need a resistor (100k) to the Sync pin, and that's it.

Therefore, what the cover circuit would need is: a small Wireless Charger receiver wired to the Y-Cable's +5v and Ground and a MicroSD reader without the USB plug, connected directly to the wires. Additionally, I would recommend to add a small hub to support, together with the MicroSD reader, two other MicroUSB ports on the cover: one for charger-only, and another to have an useable MicroUSB port, as the one on the phone would be occupied. It would have to be at least 1.5mm thick to fit the microUSB female ports, which would be the biggest parts.

Well, in theory, it is possible. But I don't know if the Moto G has a big enough market share that would make any company produce something like that... Maybe I'll try to do one myself someday, just for the fun factor. ^^

anyone else having a problem with hangouts today? I haven't touched my ROM at all but all of a sudden, my hangouts app wont open. It goes to a white screen for a few seconds, then full black, then back to the home screen. I tried wiping data, uninstalling, reinstalling...no go. I found an older version online and it worked for about an hour or so, then same thing again.

I then tried another ROM with same results so its not ROM related.

anyone else getting the same thing or is it just me?

mine is fine

was gonna suggest the things you did, plus

did you clear both "cache" and data in settings/apps

try removing your google account and then resign in, depending on rom you are on you may need to reflash gapps

and do same for Google Services Framework

nandroid first

These are just thoughts, not sure of outcomes--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nyydynasty:
thanks for the suggestions. I think I figured out the issue, though. i think it was an xposed module I recently installed that replaces the smiley key with an enter key. The module was working fine until today and i guess the latest hangouts update is incompatible. I completely forgot about that module until now.

anyway, i uninstalled the module and its working again.

i feel like a noob, forgetting about a module I had installed but thanks anyway :)

[App Stores] ferdiado:
Hello everyone,

I come to you file a new application we've developed.

Not a Novelty in the market. It is a simple Torch, that turn on or turns off the camera flash on the devices that have Led and for those who have not used the screen.

Something that most of the difference is having a widget from which we can turn on and off the LED. ONLY WORKS FOR DEVICES WITH FLASH AT THE REST DOESN'T WORKS, WHEN SHOWING A MESSAGE.

The application is available in Spanish, Catalan, English (U.S.), English (UK). In the future we will be adding more translations. If anyone wants to contribute any please contact by mail: soporte@ferdiado.com

Note that the application is free and especially no annoying advertisements.

The application allows the user to choose the type of use that best suits your needs. Some simple preferences are available. You can configure:

•The torch turns off when the display is suspended.

•Activate the button that gives you access to the full screen using it as a flashlight. This option also allows us to select 3 submenus, where we will select the amount of red, blue and green, to show background color. THIS OPTION IS THAT ACTIVE FOR DEVICES WHICH DO NOT HAVE LED.

•Don’t entre the Stand by display mode.

•And there are other preferences that are for donation, PRO version. Still in internal test mode.

The application works perfectly on many devices Nexus (Nexus 5, Nexus 4 Galaxy Nexus), is something that many others similar apps do not do.

It can be downloaded from Google Play Sotre in the following link:

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fadad.linterna

I add some screenshots for you to see the design.

I hope you enjoy it and the link to download.

Hi all,

I'm trying to find the telephone number to call HTC to discuss the alignment problem with my TyTN. When I look at the USA site, it says to call your carrier, but obviously the US carriers don't have this phone.

Any ideas on a good number to call?

Thanks!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rrentrop:
I e-mailed HTC USA regarding their ability to repair the HTC. They replied that since the TyTN is not officially marketed in the USA they are not yet prepared to repair them. They went on to say that a repair center will be opening soon in Houston.

I am in the same boat. I took delivery of a TyTN last week and the screen alignment problem surfaced yesterday. I e-mailed HTC Europe this morning and received a canned response that this was a known issue and that I would need to send the complete boxed package with all parts to the HTC repair center in the U.K.

The HTC USA website is www.htcusainc.com. Telephone numbers and the CSR e-mail address is on the Contact Us page. Good Luck!

Same problem here phone was rooted and then installed CWM and for some reason lost root. Its not a CWM bootloop.

When the root step requires "Apply Update from ADB" I cannot because CWM doesn't have that option.
[LG Optimus G Pro] HD2FORNICK:
I got bad news bro. I had to re TOT the phone and start from scratch. There is a CWM 6.0.4.4 floating around causing this issue. The phone loses root but it constantly boots into CWM when trying to root.
[LG Optimus G Pro] HD2FORNICK:
ROOT achieved, now need recovery!

OK, so I had to re TOT and get the phone back to factory state with 4.4. Then I was able to root successfully and now I am wondering how and which recovery to use. Could someone please post a link to Philz recovery and can I flash it with the same root toll with ADB sideload? THanks.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mk3:
Ok I figured out how to get root back on my phone! Yay!

Run the same F240 root tool as usual, it will reboot phone into CWM recovery but you can't choose "apply update from ADB" so instead pick INSTALL ZIP, then choose INSTALL ZIP FROM SIDELOAD. Press any key on computer to load root files then at next step in CWM choose GO BACK, then choose REBOOT SYSTEM NOW. At next step in CWM will ask "Rom may flash stock recovery on boot. F1 This can not be undone." here I choose NO. Phone will reboot and root is restored. I think before I was scared and chose YES on this step and that's what lost my root.

Root Check Basic and SuperSU both show I am rooted and back to okay.
