[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mluciotti:
Hey all. Sooo I recently obtained an unlocked verizon G2 and am using my ATT sim card in it. I absolutely hate it, primarily because I miss my 4G LTE. So I am supposed to be trading for an S4 tomorrow and just wanted to clarify something:

The guy that gave me the phone said to not factory reset it or it will need a Verizon sim card to boot up. Is this true? This is my first experience with an unlocked phone.

If it is true, is there an alternate way I can erase all my content before trading this phone away that doesn't involve a factory reset?

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
yes that is true but you can still factory reset and use this guide to bypass the dumb Verizon sim activation

I looked at the sellers feedback though and he only has feedback from the 16th all selling .01 items and now he is selling $700 phones for only $250?

[General Questions and Answers] CrazeXDA:
Hello guys, i rooted my device like 3 months ago and i felt like it really disabled my OTA update. Whenever i checked for such, it always says my system is the latest version. My question is, HOW DO I KNOW IF MY OTA UPDATE IS STILL WORKING OR NOT? I've searched for answers for like days. I think maybe its time to ask for answers here. :)

Your replies are well appreciated. Thanks in advance. :cheers:
[General Questions and Answers] elanimal1234:
ota is for stock only

if you've just got a rooted stock then when you do ota you lose root access, if you got a custom rom forget about ota altogether, rooted users are supposed to update their firmware/rom manually through custom recovery or flashing software(such as odin) always keep a couple backups around, be it nandroid or titanium bakups, now there are some apps out there that say they'll let you keep root after ota but i do not know how well they work, if you've just got a rooted stock, go back to stock, update to latest version, enable usb debugging, and use kingo on your pc(google it) for hassle free 2 second rooting process that works on just about any android device, and wouldnt take mor ethan 2 seconds to do again if you lose root after OTA next time :)
[General Questions and Answers] pinkLeviosa:
no you cant have a OTA update because youre running a custom rom.. mostly only stock rom and kernels can run OTA.

pls. take time to read this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2603064

[General Questions and Answers] CrazeXDA:
Thats specifically my problem. I dont know if i can still update to latest version now. I updated this to latest version before i rooted it. I've waited for like a week for a new update but then theres none, so there i was, i rooted my device. I wanna know if i can still update to latest version even though im rooted now.
[General Questions and Answers] pinkLeviosa:
Well im sorry ok? :) I thought your using a pacman rom because of yor signature...
[General Questions and Answers] elanimal1234:
when you're not sure, back up and start all over :D

well if you just rooted, no custom rom, then the software that handles OTA must still be there, however, depending the method you used, the OTA might not work anymore or even be disabled on purpose so that you do not lose root upon update, simply, backup, flash back to a regular stock, then use kingo, then do an OTA after root to check if it works, then once you're certain your phone works fine and has OTA, restore your apps, data, contacts, and settings from your backup(make sure you backed all those up of course) as well as your sdcard and/or internal memory files, back those up too since depending on what flashing software you use or how you **** up(it's normal we all do it :)) you may delete its contents, and there you should have a rooted stock phone that has OTA and you can root back after rly quick and easy..... :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akenis:
Looking for opinions.

Ordered my 5 on day one. It had a stuck pixel and a little bleed. Probably should have RMA, but wanted to wait a bit. As luck would have it I cracked the screen before I got around to it. So I replaced it myself with this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HKL3DEM/ref=oss_product

After 2 months use, the screen has rapidly deteriorated. I can even notice the defects in TWRP and on the boot screen. Doesn't TWRP kind of load it's own kernel? That kind of rules out any kind of software problems. Any suggestions for where to get a more reliable screen replacement? I sent the following to the seller:

Hi,

I carefully read the reviews on this product. Some claimed that the screen may not be OEM equipment and was not as pictured in the display. It seemed like a risk, but I needed a screen.

I have replaced many screens several of my devices and my children's devices. The swap was effortless. When I booted my phone with the new screen, it appeared to be a major success again. There were no dead or stuck pixels and minimal back light bleed around the edges. The only noticeable issue was a very bright area around the soft keys. Particularly on white pages.

The screen was installed in early April, and recently I have noticed it become gradually duller with an increase of bleed around the edges. Then yesterday, things got much worse very quickly. I noticed greenish bleed/band around all edges. The bright white around the soft keys is brighter. There is a 1/8 inch band around the top of the screen that is very dark. It is not very bright and the colors are dull. From previous experiences, I know that these are signs that it will only get worse.

One of the reviews talked about a similar situation: Looked great at first, and deteriorated after a month or so.

I would like to request a replacement screen for my Nexus 5.

Thank you.

The other night, I was in the middle of sending a text and my phone died. So I put it on the charger and went to bed. When I woke up and turned on my phone on the service bars were empty. When trying to dial a number it says, "No network available".

This does not go in an out like 99% of the issues I found here and on google, it's just gone, period. 24/7 No network available. But yet my sim works in another phone.

Upon googling I tried the fix to set network to automatic in settings, I get "Cannot connect to network right now, try again later."

I tried to flash a new radio, same results.

I flashed my 4.4.2 up to 4.4.3 with the 4.4.3 radio, same problem.

Before the antenna went out I was running basic stock, not rooted, not unlocked. It is now unlocked, from flashing a rom.

I cannot afford a new phone. This phone is all I have. I've had it almost a year now and it still looks like it is fresh out the box. I take VERY good care of my phone. Please someone help me...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugoftee:
Now that the Xperia Z1 Compact got Android 4.4 updates:

Is there support for touch to focus while taking photos.

Is there support for 120 fps video recording?

I am thinking about buying this phone and both these features would seal the deal for me.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] einfachgaer:
120 FPS recording is about to be ported (work in progress!) so in a few days maybe it's going to be fully functional. But you gonna need to be rooted for this!

What exactly do you mean by touch to focus? You mean to tap on an object on the screen then it focuses and takes a picture? If yes then its available!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugoftee:
Hi einfachgaer!

So it's not officially supported but ported from Z2? Can you please provide a link where I can follow the progress?

I'm afraid I didn't use the proper term. What I actually meant, I just realized this, is "touch to set exposure". Basically if you make a photo with backlight you can touch the dark object and the exposure is increased or you touch the sky and the exposure gets decreased. I watched this* review and the reviewer was showing this feature on the Nexus 5 and then went on to say that the Xperia Z1 compact does not have this feature.

*I can't post links directly. Use this in a Youtube URL: watch?v=mgKzbCdIVto#t=795 (it's in russian, but the timecode is directly where he shows what I mean)
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] einfachgaer:
No it's not officially supported. You can follow the progress in this thread. Right now it's almost fully functional only bug is the steady shot feature in 4K mode, but I can live without that to be honest.

Sorry to tell you, but I don't think this is feature is available for the Xperia Z1 Compact. It may be software sided so maybe if you install the same camera app it will work? I don't know.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thot Ctrl:
Have had my Note for almost 2 yrs now, rooted many times. Had the motherboard replaced and currently on extended warranty.

Problem is I have been experiencing sleep of death (phone randomly turns off). There is no frequency to this SOD. Sometimes it happens everyday sometimes in a few days. I thought maybe its a fault stock ROM so I rooted and flashed a custom but the problem is that the problem still exists.

So my question is do you think that the new hardware is causing the problem? If yes can i get it replaced since I am on extended warranty? Ofcourse after unrooting and going back to stock.

But I fear that they will just send it back incase they dont see it happen
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackwu696:
Hello.

I used to share the same SOD problem. even though at that time my device was still brand new with 4.0.4 ICS. When I went to CS to complain, all they did were a factory reset. After just 1 day, the problem came back. My wife who bought the same phone also experienced the same problem. we're at loss that time and I even considered selling it. But one day, my device heats up so much that it spoiled the speaker, and I furiously went back to the CS and really gave them a piece of my mind. They replaced the broken parts and also gave me a new battery. ever since then, no more problems.

In case of my wife's, the SOD persists untill I decided to flash her a custom rom Ultimate JB and combined with speedmod's and the problem disappears.

What I was trying to say is, it's possible from the hardware AND Battery (as in my case) Or also from ROM/Kernel Related problem (As in my wife's case) Hers still have SOD's but after a few battery cycle, it srated to lessen n lessen n it hasn't happened in the last 6 months. (Ours also almost 2 years)

When I call a number which is busy at the moment the busy tone is always delivered through the external speaker even though the external speaker is not on. HTC support says they have never heard of this problem and I should send the device in. I hoped that the ROM update HERMIMG_O2_1.25.207.1_SHIP.nbh whould solve the problem but it does not.

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Mr.Moo52:
Good evening everyone. I have a bit of a conundrum and I'm hoping the community can help. A buddy of mine recently gave me his HTC One (M7) to fix. According to him, he attempted to install the latest GPE rom for the phone (his is the Tmobile branded version) and it failed to install. Afterwards it would only bootloop on the HTC logo screen. I took a look at things and here's what I found:

When I first boot the device I see this:

I can hold down the volume key on reboot and get into the bootloader. This is the screen:

Initially I couldn't even get into recovery. After a bit of futzing around (and installing the HTC drivers) I was able to use fastboot to push CWM touch 6.0.4.6 onto the device. After that, I was able to fully boot into the CWM environment and navigate around. However, when I try to do basically anything that touches the partitions, the device reboots. I grabbed a screenshot of the mounts and storage page:

The top option which you can't see says mount /system.

Initially I thought I could just copy a ROM.zip over to the device and flash it, however, when I attempt to mount the USB storage, it doesn't do anything. I also noticed two directories that I'd never seen before in CWM, the /firmware/mdm and /firmware/q6. It appears that somewhere along the line my buddy attempted to install a different radio or a rom he was using attempted to. In any case, I can mount up the various folders with no issue except for the two /firmware folders. I just get an error. Any time I attempt to format any of the other folders, the phone simply reboots.

I tried also to install a ROM.zip by sideloading with ADB, but the device isn't recognized by my computer when I do so. I've also attempted to flash TWRP recovery, but any time I try to boot into it, it just bootloops immediately.

I've spent days scouring these forums and google in general to no avail. I'm sure I'm missing something simple or misunderstanding some kind of direction, but at this point I'm so frazzled that I might end up chucking the phone out the window. The end goal here is to just end up with a working, booting phone in any way possible. Once I get it to that point I can handle the rest.

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Sieze:
the phone dosnt have an OS on it and its still on hboot 1.44 somehow.... but you can recover it with a otg cable and a flash drive. you cannot mount the One through recovery. but with an otg cable and a flash drive you can place flashable files on the flash drive and flash them through recovery to get the phone in a working state.

Edit:

this should do the trick. CLICK MEH! you will ahve to obtain S-off ofcourse. jsut put a stock ROM on it then use a s-off method then proceed to do GPE conversion.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Mr.Moo52:
Thanks for the idea. I've got an OTG cable on the way from Amazon right now, so I'll give it a shot when it gets here and report back.
[LG Optimus 2x] LEDAHGRIM:
I just bought a $20 gift card (200 mxn since I live in mexico), And I have currently $16 in funds.

I was gonna buy deathsmiles since I love CAVE games but nooooo, The godamn app always

fails the freaking authentication when launching (authentication failed, please install again from google play!)...

Luckyly I was able to get a refund since the error appears before the app starts downloading data,

Lesson learned; "Don't buy games made by CAVE on android", I saw other people on the store complain

about that too...

So there go my "Mushihime Sama Bug Panic" and "Espgaluda II" potential purchases too... *SIGH*...

Soooo... Is there any other game not made by CAVE that doesn't have crappy authentication system that is

worth buying?

Anything within the $16 value is fine, I prefer RPG's, Shooters (Like Espgaluda), And anything that doesn't look

like crap made for elementary schoolers (80% of the store apps sadly...).

And of course any game capable of running in our Optimus 2x, So no 3D super intensive games please... I tried

Ravensword and it played great but would shutdown by itself randomnly too often...
