[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
Gionee have stopped working on any updates for E7, their engineers simply can't support Snapdragon chipset and have only limited updates to Mediatek based devices now. I've moved on and bought OPO instead and waiting for it to arrive to me. Gionee can't be in leagues of flagship grade phones anymore and are now another crap provider just like other Indian brands viz. Micromax, Karbonn, Spice etc. I hate them for raising my hopes so much by delivering so good hardware but with worse software support I've ever seen in my tech life and would never ever switch to this crap company for any future phones. E7 would be used by my wife now since she is not bothered and just want a working Android phone.
[GiONEE Elife E7] GTARaja:
dont loose hope man..but its better we are not getting updates since many updates to mediatek phones results in buggy OS..ill suggest u try taiwan rom. its almost bugless as far as i knw
[GiONEE Elife E7] 1manshow:
@ GTARaja

Can you please send me the latest version of Taiwan ROM link in PM? I tried to join Nori Rom group on Line but was not able to for some unknown reason. I've not given hope but I can't wait for so long to enjoy flashing new ROMs to this beautiful hardware. There is still no answer from Gionee, and they have simply stopped promoting this phone as flagship anymore. This shows they won't be supporting this phone...

First my apologies to Ravikirancg, perhaps because this is not the place for these questions. ;)

I installed "Dodo launcher" and its corresponding lockscreen and notifications come and look at the perfectly although very small. I have frozen before with Titanium Navi launcher and Navi locker.

Sorry for the delay.. The source that is used currently is completely outdated. Its not very easy to reabase it now and update the kernel. That along with the fact that I screwed up my linux OS, well, we need people good at C and being kernel development, and not having even the basic functions like display that are not working, Its quite hard to get things moving..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaDroid:
Hello, I feel I own a fairly popular phone and a lot of other people across the internet own phones from this company. It seems there is a wide interest in custom ROMs but a severe lack of developers owning these products.

I am new to android -- and smart phones all together. But I am quite handy with linux and after 2-3 weeks of owning my Blu Studio 5.0 D530 Dual Sim 4gb smart phone, I feel pretty comfortable with the device. My last text message on my old phone was May 16th; so that was the day they came in the mail after work. I've rooted it with many methods, installed custom CWM, fried 1-2 sdcards, factory reset a dozen times, and bricked my device for two days. We've been through a lot.

My wife owns the Blu Advance 4.5 which has even less information and she fears even letting me root it at this point.

If a category for this specific company is made, I would really enjoy getting more involved with the company and sharing my experiences, fails, and successes. I've acquired a large, hugely undocumented, and unorganized collection of tools and applications for my phones, as well as a plethora of book marks.

I'm getting to a point where I can organize and begin documenting/referencing these tools to share with the community here on XDA. I'm sure we can find more people with much more knowledge than myself who might become interested in purchasing one of these phones.

They are highly affordable and well designed (other than the low internal memory). Also, I've recently learned that since they are an American company, they are required by law to provide sources for their products, and have already received multiple requests to do so with a couple of confirmed positive responses.

Thank you for reading my post. Please comment if you agree.

Just now I was watching a few videos on my XZ, the battery went flat and I charged it for awhile. I tried turning on the phone after that and I could not power it on at all. I tried using the volume up/down + power hard reset thing and it would not reset. What can I do to save this phone?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St.Jimmy90:
Charge it for 24 hours
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
if anything does not workout try flashing stock rom
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emiglet:
Leave it be for 24-48 hours.

Plug it in the charger, if nothing happens, unplug it and try again a few hours later. If after 3 tries nothing happens, just plug it in and leave it be for a day or 2 and see what happens.

Li-Ion batteries are known for their safety circuit that is built-in, which prevents an absolute discharge of the battery, which would damage the battery and make fireworks as soon as you would recharge it. They prevent it by stopping the current flow, and usually it's really no big deal, unless you have a sealed phone like we do... :(

In the worst case, a phone service would need to open up the phone, and boost the battery with a diagnostic tool such as those from Cadex.

It will cost you a service fee + back cover gasket (gasket costs approx 5 - 20 dollars, depends on how hard the shop wants to rip you off).

The reason for you to wait, is because the battery can regain some charge, as in collect the last bits. Remember how dead batteries would still give quite strong light in a flashlight that was completely empty the day before? Just that little amount would be enough to unlock the battery again and you'll be able to charge it.

Be patient, otherwise try a service and ask for a battery boost, in case they find out it's a sleeping battery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wing-zero:
Sorry if this is a repost, but is there a 4.4.2 KitKat yet for the T889 model aka Tmobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
This is the only TouchWizz KitKat Rom that's been posted on the Development Threads. Built from the Nordic Based Firmware.

But you can use AT&T Roms on our T889 and they will work.

Rom Of Thrones
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bruce lee roy:
Yes there are a few of them. Look in the development section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2Quik:
Which AT&T roms work on T889?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
Pretty much any AT&T Note 2 Rom posted in the AT&T Development Thread. But read the threads OPs first just to be sure... Ive flashed atleast 4 AT&T Roms and 1 N7105 Rom on my T889.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2Quik:
Out of the AT&T roms you have flash which did you like best?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wing-zero:
i cant seem to find a stock 4.4.2 note 2 rom for ATT

also since im tmobile, do i need to find a modem/radio to flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
Im on DN3 Beta 2 right now. So far I haven't had any black screen freezes which I had on Beta 1. I like it a lot.

The other Rom I liked before DN3 (4.4.2 base) was released was a test Rom. It didn't have a name. But you can find it on the AT&T General Section by bsbachert.. It was only Beta 1 at the time. It's now on Beta 2 but I haven't tried it.

The only reason I like these Roms are simple. Transparent AccuWeather and Colored Emojis (its standard now tho) Everything else is just a plus.

DN3, to me, is feature rich and most of them I don't use.

I might go back to that test rom and just add the Note 3 Launcher because the launcher on that Rom wasn't sized correctly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] 2Quik:
you are referring to correct?

[4.3] DN3(Ditto Note 3) ROM for SGH-i317, SGH-i317M, N7105 from Electron Team (E-Team) 10-12-13

I could not find a stock 4.4.2 rom either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
The only US carrier to release a Note 2 OTA is Sprint. AT&T hasn't yet. The ones floating around on AT&T and Tmo forums are based on the Nordic N7105 rom.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wing-zero:
will the sprint 4.4.2 rom work on TMO T889 Note 2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Not as is. It would be a train wreck. Sprint roms don't translate add well to GSM devices. You won't get anything more from theirs than from the existing work on the Nordic releases. Try ROM of Thrones from mattlowry or eZCAT from ezdubzitmk4. They are a decent option. They are a bit quirky simply because they are based on TW. TW kitkat broke some functionality by design.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pyraxiate:
I'm using ezcat right now. Running pretty well with no issues. Lots of neat features. I recommend a full wipe, then flash rom, keyboard fix, then s5 keyboard, modem and then go to first boot. Then reboot into recovery and flash supersu.

I also like the stock ui so I flashed that mod as well after flashing supersu.

No issues as of yet :) liking it so far.

Hi all, community

First of all, I've got a 2½-years experience with flashing Android ROMs, so I know how to flash a recovery, how to use fastboot and all that stuff.

I wanna try CrDroid ROM but I don't know if I have to wipe the SD partition too, and if I should backup my music, photos, videos and WhatsApp files, because I didn't understand well the f2fs - ext4 thing ?

My question is, coming from stock KitKat (XT1032, 8Gb, single Sim) what do I have to do before actually flashing the ROM?

Thanks a lot to everyone who's willing to help me :)

in my experience with the excat same model as your, i couldnt installl any custom rom till i downgraded to 4.3 then i could flash what i needed. for the backup problem exernal storage is your answer, for instance i have a micro usb flash drive 16 gb storage that i have a 4.4.2 and a 4.3 stock rom backup on as well as a few titanium backups of apps i donwt want to keep having to redownload.

you can flash a rom without formatingg sd card partion ( idid it when i flashed the xperience rom, i couldnt get su to work after that and i thought it was bnecause i didnt wipe data but it was really a known bug,with a simple zip fix, point is shi...t happens so clean wipe)

but the rom may be buggy we should always try to flash roms as clean as a wipe as we can to not bogg down the developers thread with uneeded problems stemming from that one omssion.

Guys this topic is very important to me so please read entire text

Please help me, today on earlier hours my sd card unmounted and mounted again, at first I've not noticed any thing but now i noticed that some of my folders names are changed and it shows empty

For example i had the music folder and about 200 songs on sd card but now folder changed to "µUSIC" and it says folder is empty, the weird thing is nothing has been deleted, i mean folder is empty content is gone but still same free space on sd card, before this i had 2 gb of free space now i have 2 gb too, i think it's just corrupted or something weird happened with utorrent because all other folders starting with u, like note2 to µOTE2

so guys please help me, the gone files are very important for me i can't download them again please does somebody know how to fix this or recover these files

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mblacki:
Long story short:Phone dropped in water, immediately removed, rice dried and now turns on, charges and works fine.

HOWEVER there is a bad stutter sound of media and it clips in and out making music unbearable. This happens with the speakers and with the headphones so I can't just buy a replacement speaker. This effect only happens with music and videos, not ringtones. Is this Motherboard damage? So far I've found nothing that improves it.:(

So Youtube and internet youtube both sound flawless, it's just music applications that skip and clip songs...how?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mblacki:
Well turns out it was partly the usb connector. Even though it charges when I transferred songs over, they became corrupted and thus wouldn't play correctly. Using Airdroid fixed this so...yeah. If anyone is curious if that can happen, there's your answer. :D At least music works now!

Once they get your phone they will see the IMEI doesn't match what you told them.
[Moto X Q&A] A man on a forum:
Well my problem is my moto x is completely shattered so I can't use it or check my imei which is why it won't work. I am trying to request a repair but you cannot request one without an imei. Since my moto is broken I doubt they can see that imei dosent match. If you could share yours with me it would really help man.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
[MENTION=5793338]A man on a forum[/MENTION]

Do you have the box? the IMEI is on the label affixed to the end flap.

Did you join for the Moto Feed Back Network? if so, your IMEI is in your Moto profile.

Does your phone power up? If so, put it in fastboot mode. then on your pc... mfastboot getvar all will report your IMEI.

And sorry, I'm not comfortable sharing my IMEI.

EDIT: another possible way... visit -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/home/ and sign in. Use the My Stuff icon in the upper right.

And last but definitely not least... sign into -> https://www.google.com/settings/dashboard and scroll to ANDROID section, your android devices should be listed under there. You can view its IMEI there.
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
Your provider should also have a record of the IMEIs you have used with your account. Regular customer service may or may not have access to the list though.
[Moto X Q&A] overthatscreen:
Its either you're lying and trying to steal someone's IMEI.... Or you and Customer Service are too dumb to check the IMEI printed on the Sim Tray.

Pop out your Sim Tray, the IMEI is printed right on there.

Discussions about sharing or changing the IMEI number is not allowed on XDA.

[Xperia Tablet Z General] Bupsss:
Hi,

I need to buy a tablet, mostly as a replacement pc for office work (and sofa media entertainment).

I like the Z and I just found a very good deal for this tablet but I'm a bit worried about it.

I've read a lot in this forum, but not exactly what i need to know.

So I've some questions.

For example, right now i use the note2 and it's excellent for my daily use.

Therefore my comparison will be with this one.

First, is there any airview like the spen? Browsing websites with popup menus it's a great help. The pen works like a mouse and i find it very useful.

Then, any multiwindows? Or split screen?

I've also seen that the sony ultra can be used with pencils, does this works the same way? Having the possibility to use a precise pen would be great, good alternatives are welcome ;)

Thanks

[Xperia Tablet Z General] Felimenta97:
I wouldn't recommend it as a office replacement. There is no better tool than a Windows 8 or more device with a physical keyboard and Office 2013 for that purpose.

The Tablet Z doesn't support pencil support, neither airview. It is meant to be a media consuming device, mostly, not a office tool.

first thing I would say is, do odin to your new firmware, and the out the system, without installing or restore apps, and app data, see if everything is working fine, sometimes by restoring older app data you might run into some problems..

What do you mean with "do odin and the out of the system"?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdiaz33685:
Use ODIN.. what I mean to say is do the full firmware via ODIN,

And use it like that, a fresh install, see if everything is working well, you should have no problems.

Then see when the lag starts if you are restoring your apps with data.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricardo2256:
No, my lag does not start with the app restoring. It is a full lag in everything. Even unlocking the main screen. PLEASE HELP. I have flashed my phone with 5 different ROMs and nothing works..... :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
you didn't answer to my question earlier. Did you do a full wipe ?

by default, any flashing of firmware won't wipe your device. It has been suggested by most ppl here, and other forums website, that if you face any trouble with the new firmware, always do a full wipe. It helps most of the time with most of the funny funny issue.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drashrafsabry:
no i didnt do a wipe as i got it OTA not through odin

can you tell me how to do it
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
are the 2 of you the same person ? LOL

[MENTION=5291021]drashrafsabry[/MENTION] : very simple, if you done the OTA already, now try to do full wipe (I assume you are not rooted)

1st of all, you will need to backup your contact (if you keep on your device), you can do by exporting it to sd card, or merge with google/samsung account.

2nd thing you need to backup your sms (if you still need to keep it).

3rd and most important : full wipe from stock recovery, it will delete the entire internal storage. So, if you have any data (photo, movie, songs, etc) which you keep it inside internal storage, you must copy first to your sd card / or your PC / laptop (somewhere else other than internal storage. :)

Once you finish with all that backup, you may shutdown your device (wait until vibrate to make sure it shutdown completely).

Once it is shutdown, press the 3 combos (vol up + home + power) to go into recovery.

Once inside recovery, choose wipe data, and after finish choose wipe cache.

when it is finish, reboot.

PS : you will need to re setup your initial setup after that.

Good luck.
