[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] juliancarney:
Is it possible that your S3 LTE comes from another country? If it so then maybe the 3G/4G bands defined are not compatible with the frequencies in your country.

Oh, BTW I forgot: you can download a stock ROM (Samsung) from here (4.1.2 and 4.3):

samsung-updates.com / device/?id=GT-I9305

I tried the stock 4.3 and it drains my battery as crazy so I've ended up with Cyanogenmod (now 4.4.4, nightly) that works great.

And if you look for "modem"|"baseband" I9305 you will also find a list of software modem/basebands to install to your ROM.

Having what seems like an odd one...

I was running TT Navigator 5.21 on my Blue Angel (as you've probably read already!) and have now got it running on my Wizard.

However some PoI icons are not showing up on the map!

If I serach for the PoIs either as somewhere to navigate to or in map browse the PoIs are there, but no icon is displayed for them.

Some of these PoIs are ones that I have added myself through TomTom itself, some are ov2 files that are created by my website at http://www.gonmad.co.uk/satnav/ , and some are PoIs that are built into TomTom Nav 5 (eg Petrol stations).

The ones I have created have their own bitmap images that worked on the Blue Angel, and are displayed correctly in the PoI lists on the Wizard as well, they just don't display on the map!

They are definitely installed for the correct map (as I say they are searchable through the navigate to and browse map screen), its just the icons.

And as I say, the built in Petrol stations PoI list (which is not an external ov2 file with bitmap, its built in to the map files from what I can tell) don;t display either. Airports, Hotels, Restaurants - no problem. Even one of my speed camera databases (an external ov2 and bitmap like my stuff) displays correctly.

I've even looked at the bitmaps to see if there is a pattern to the differences between the bitmap files and can't see one....

Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Feel free to try downloading the PoI files from the website I've linked above to try them on your machine (if you have a GB map) and please let me know if they are working for you (you might even be kind enough to add new PoIs if you know of any Disabeld Parking places!).

Cheers,

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mlj11:
I ran into a problem with the recent update to the Google Text-To-Speech app.

I was testing out and trying to decide between the new high quality US and UK English voices. Somehow my default language for speech got locked into UK English: I can no longer change it to anything else, even though my default device language is US English and I have downloaded both the low and high quality US English voices.

See my screenshots - despite me changing my chosen language to US English in the Google Text-to-speech Engine settings in the 1st screenshot, once I hit the back button (or exit via the home / recent apps buttons), my default language reverts to UK English as per the 2nd screenshot.

Is there any system file I can edit to change this absurd behaviour? :eek: I'm rooted and willing to get my hands dirty...

UPDATE:

I played around with settings and managed to resolve the problem.

Clearing data from / un- and re-installing the app / restoring data from another device didn't work - what did work was choosing another default device language (NOT the voice language under Text-to-speech output). This somehow released the "lock" on UK speech and allowed me to choose US instead. I then reverted the default device language to US English.

All is now good in the world :victory:

This should work for you http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53176897
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
I bought a Huawei Mediapad X1 recently, (model 7D-501U) so here are my thoughts after a few days in comparison to my Mega 6.3.

1) While the Mega's size is just the right side of the Too Big line for use as a phone, the X1 is just the wrong side. It's too wide to comfortably hold securely in one hand, and it's too big to comfortably fit in my pockets.

2) While having a bigger screen is always good, it's 1920 x 1200 resolution doesn't make high resolution photos or full HD videos any sharper to my eyes than on the Mega's 1280 x 720 screen.

3) The camera on the Mega takes significantly better photos than the X1 despite being a lower resolution (8MP vs 13MP). Photos on the X1 are dark and under-exposed. Using HDR mode helps in some situations, and adjusting exposure and brightness helps in others, but on the Mega you can just snap away in Auto and know that it's going to give a better result first time, every time.

4) The GPS on the X1 can see the same number of satellites as the Mega, but can't use as many of them. It's still useable, but the Mega consistently uses twice as many satellites for significantly better accuracy, (e.g. 10 feet vs 30 feet, or 30 feet vs 70 feet etc)

5) The X1 doesn't have MHL or Miracast for mirroring the screen to your TV. It should work with Chromecast though and I believe you can mirror your screen to Huawei's own MediaQ device, but that's another £100.

6) I find the button placement on the X1 more awkward, with both volume and power buttons on the right hand side. The layout on the Mega works better for me.

7) The X1 has significantly better battery life than the Mega

8) The X1 has a slightly better CPU and graphics than the Mega, which does make a difference in games like Real Racing 3.

9) Although the X1 says it can only use SD cards up to 32GB, it works fine with a 64GB card once you reformat it in the device, so there's no difference there.

So in summary, for me the size, poor camera and weaker GPS rule out the X1 as a replacement for my Mega. It still makes a good 7" tablet though, since the camera and GPS are not important for me in a tablet. I'll keep it for now but it won't replace my Mega, which is still a great device that can do anything.

If you have any questions about the X1, let me know and I'll do my best to answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
Correction to the above - I believe the X1 does have Miracast, but I couldn't get it to work with Samsung's dongle.﻿
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vnuh:
Thanks for your comparison. I tried to grab the version 7d-501l as I read a page saying it's the LTE version and the 501u is 3G version but I couldn't locate a local vender that carry 501l. Can you please confirm if your is 3G version?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] mingonn:
Sounds similar to my experience with the Huawei Ascend Mate. Great battery life, nice screen but terrible GPS and camera. Still loving my Mega after 6 months, haven't seen a phone yet that I would prefer. Maybe if they release a 7 inch Mega...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
That's correct. 7D-501L is LTE and 7D-501U is UMTS, i.e. 3G. There's also a 7D-503L model that's also LTE, but I'm not sure what the difference is between the 501L and 503L. I suspect it's just a difference between the LTE bands that are covered, but I'm not sure which one covers which LTE bands.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] acuratlsfan:
Reason why Mega gets better location lock is because it has GPS and GLONASS
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] D4dan:
Moandal, can u pls upload some full size photos from x1 camera ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
You'll find 3 photos in this folder. One taken with the Mega, default options, full resolution (8 mega pixels). One taken with the X1, default options, 13MP, and one taken with the X1, with exposure, brightness and saturation each adjusted up by 1. I hope that gives you a useful comparison.

I've decided that even though the default settings give rather poor results, with the settings tweaked the X1 does actually take pretty decent photos.

https://app.box.com/s/afu6275h9bejuzyz36r7
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
Yes, I'm sure you're correct. I thought it wouldn't be able to see the GLONASS satellites, but I guess it can see them, just not use them.

However after more experimentation, even without GLONASS the GPS accuracy on the X1 is still pretty good (20 feet or better), as long as you've got a good view of the sky.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
As you'll see from the above two posts, I've changed my view on the camera and GPS on the X1 - they're both better than I thought, even if I still think the Mega has the edge in both departments. I'm also getting more used to the idea of using it as a phone despite the size although I'm still not keen on the button placement which forces me to hold it lower down the phone than I'd like. So for now I've swapped my SIM cards round and we'll see how I get on with it as my main device.

Also I've ordered a Miracast dongle, so I'll report back to let you know if it works with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
I can confirm it does support Miracast, although I needed to install WiFi Display Helper to get it to work, since the setting for wireless display mirroring is hidden for some reason. Still doesn't work with the Samsung dongle though.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vipfreak:
I'm seriously considering the X1 am I taking too much of a risk on being disappointed? My main worries are they don't have an app drawer in their stock modded os if I added a launcher would I get that functionality back? Does 4G work? (I'm assuming it will work on Straight Talk) Is the battery removable? Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
Lack of an app drawer is no problem - a launcher will indeed give you that.

The battery is non-removable, but the battery life is superb.

I've got the 3G version so I can't help you with your 4G question.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vipfreak:
Thanks for the info. Thought of another question for you. How is the Bluetooth? My Mega has this annoying tendency to have the bluetooth cut out briefly and then reconnect with my headset. Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
Bluetooth is fine. It occasionally disconnects and reconnects with my Sony Smartwatch 2, but then the Mega did the same, so I suspect that's the watch rather than the phone. Also my wife's car won't connect to the X1 for some reason, but it works flawlessly with my own car, bluetooth speakers and everything else I've tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] acuratlsfan:
United States will not be able to us LTE with this phone. With Straight Talk AT&T sim u will get HSPA+ which is marketed as 4G in the US... But it is really known as 3G worldwide. If you have straight talk with Tmo sim...u will be able to use HSPA+ in areas where they refarmed their towers to 1900mhz....unless straight talk has a roaming agreement...which I'm not sure if they do or not.

I have the 503L and using it with ST. Replaced cracked international Note 2 (which has no LTE).. But im happy with HSPA speeds.

---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 AM ----------

Huawei seem to have implemented a car Bluetooth blacklist of some sorts to prevent automatic pairing in cars... Dont know why.

If you are rooted...you may want to edit the file to see if it will connect to your wife's car. Use a file exporer program goto \system \etc \bluetooth... Open file " auto_pair_devlist.conf " ... Remove or comment out # the blacklisted address line.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] vipfreak:
Cool, thanks for the info guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] aniym:
Thanks for the info.

Where are you guys purchasing this from? It doesn't look like Huawei is selling them internationally. I'm in Canada and I'd rather not buy it through AliExpress or one of those shops.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Moandal:
I got mine through Ebay 2nd hand from someone else in the UK, so I doubt if that helps you much.

ok here is the thing i rooted my phone. it works but i believe i that i used the wrong baseband version which was m919uvufnb4 instead of M919UVUAMDL. also kernal version is 3.4.0-g4224a08-dirty fenny. i did not know about the knox counter. and my problem is i cant hear my phone ring, can't make a call, can't listen to music. i would like to just get it back to it's normal state can someone help me please:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MoodSwinger:
I would guess the best thing you could do is flash (thru Kies) the stock NB4 firmware, that should get everything back to standard, then you can still root and everything from there, but it should get everything back up and running right for you. As far as Knox goes, if it's tripped (0x1) I don't think there's anything you can do to really reset it. I know at one point you could use triangle away think it was and that could reset it but I think I remember that's not working so well anymore, tho I could be mistaken.

good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] warreng6x:
thanks for some insight MoodSwinger now i have kies but it's not reconizing my device
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MoodSwinger:
do you have the stock firmware full DL, It's something 1.5GB IRCC? If not, get it.

do you have a custom recovery installed? You said you were rooted so I'm guessing yes. Can you boot into recovery?

if you can do those try flashing the stock thru the custom recovery.

search how to fix a softbricked device there's a thread and answers in this (T-Mobile SGS4) section just find them, and you should be able to recover at least to get back to stock. Then you should be back on track.

You did flash the tar file right? If so try flashing it a second time and don't use mobile Odin.. If it still doesn't work you can try flashing a 4.3 or 4.2.2 ROM and see if that helps.. If all this fails its likely a hardware problem

- Phone tweaks/smart radio : Connecting to WLAN => 2G only : works fine. Disconnecting WLAN => 3G+2G (auto) : often I get no network at all and I have to reboot, clear (Dalvik) cache before it works again. Using modem S.920.V17 for P780 but had it on other modems too.

Mainly used lot of statusbar, power, display, phone, media tweaks.

Over the course of months of flashing, I have noticed that my battery life drains really fast. I'm currently running AOKP. I think I calibrated the battery correctly yet I still have terrible battery life. I charged it to 100%, used an app, Battery Calibration, to reset the battery stats, let it drain to 0%, the plugged it back in. The battery said 57% so I charged it back to 100% yet the battery life is still awful. My brightness is at the lowest setting, my WiFi is off, and I am using Greenify to hibernate applications. I've attached pictures of my battery life (from GSam) and pictures of what my software looks like. What is causing the drain? How can I fix it? If anybody can help, I'd be very thankful.

Edit: I have a Hyperion 4200 mAh battery. I replaced the stock battery but it didn't seem to make a difference. The voltage reads at about ~4200 mAh when at 98%.

Edit 2: My battery was at ~60% then I shut it off and plugged it in. It is now at 2%... Should I charge to 100% then reset battery stats?

There are a couple of programs which modify the way the today screen appears:

1. No Plugins Today: toggles on/off items/plugin on today screen for a fresh looking today screen (http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/)

2. Vijay555's Toggletoday which enables a 16% larger screen

Is there way to combine the functionality of both programs into one. The purpose of this program is to:

1. Lower memory usage and mabe even save a little battery power

2. Allows for clear view of the today image
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
It might be possible to combine No Plugins Today with VJToggleToday, but is it necessary? It seems to me that although their usage is complimentary, building it into one program doesn't really help. Just run No Plugins Today when you need it, or my app when you need it.

If there's demand though, I'll consider building it in perhaps.

No today --> multiple today

Hi Guys,

I don't know if this is an idea. The no today screen plugin seems like a good idea. But how about switching between 2 different today screens. So it's possible to have for instance an today screen with the calender and tasks and other usefull plugin that have to do with dates etc. and a second today screen where you get all the information about ur pda e.g. battery, birthdays, overclocking, etc. or even communication today screen versus datebook today screen. I think you will understand what i mean.

I'm currently using the Orange homescreen plugin, but would love to have a hardware button assigned to switch between the trad. today screen and the orange one.

Maybe it is possible with no today screen haven't tested it yet. if it is disregard this message.
