[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragoncoder:
Hi everyone,

I am a noob in this flashing world, but I am willing to devote my time to this. I am looking to get a nice phone to use at Pageplus. I found a good price for Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (Sprint version) ($145 total for a brand new one) and I am wondering if its even possible. This is a phone without any kind of contract to Sprint but I am guessing it is locked to be used only within Sprint network (correct me if I am wrong).

If you guys think that is possible, I am willing to devote my time (and money ofcourse) to make it work. I am pretty sure I will need help from you guys for silly questions and I hope you will go easy on me and looking forward to learning the process.

I am not exactly a newbie in terms of technology and actually code for a living, so hopefully this should not be a very difficult journey but I'll need all your support in this endeavour.

Thanking you in advance

Hi,

I have a Verizon Moto X Dev. Edition that I would like to use on T-Mobile network. So far I'm only able to get voice and data by disabling LTE and usting H+. Is there a way to use my XT1060 as a XT1053? in other words are the two models hardware different? or can i install the T-Mobile software and my phone so that I can use T-Mobile's LTE and have voice and data?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Ok so I decided on buying a moto g and while googling prices i spotted this.

the verizon prepaid moto g is 68.99 while the unlocked moto g is 199.99.

why is it so low?also is there a way to make the verizion prepaid phone accept a tmobile sim card?

I feel like these are stupid questions but hey i wanna learn :cool:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NWKENT:
The XT1028 Moto G can ONLY be used with Verizon prepaid, no SIM card, 3G only..this model was/is on sale for around $50 now, its a gimmick to lure ones in to purchase a device, that MUST be used on Verizon only..

TIP..Purchase the new Moto G 4G LTE..it can be used almost any carrier..

Hello to all,

I have an imate KJAM with ROM 2.16.9.1 WWE, Radio Version 1_02.20.11 and ExtROM ver: 2.16.9.108.

I have noticed when sending an MMS that you can only send an MMS of 5 sec. duration. But other MMS capable phones can send for 8secs, also I can receive these 8sec MMS and it will play for 8sec.

Is there a way to alter the length of the sent MMS from the KJAM?

Can I change it to whatever length I want?

I do realise that the carrier has restrictions on the size of messages sent and my particular carrier only recommends 100k, but I also know that if you have good signal strength then you are able to receive and send messages of a greater length.

Thanks.

I have tried both of these, the reg edit does hold, but there has been no change in length of message I am able to send.

I currently have:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\UI\SizeLimit] Decimal

"SendLimit3"=dword:0003E800 512000

Which is 4 times higher than the orginal for sendlimit 1&2 and twice as much for sendlimit3. Since there has been no change in the displayed time I don't think there is any point in going further.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robalboa:
I found that I was getting bad battery drain and consistently I saw Google play services as the culprit.

All you do is go to Google play services in app manager (under the all section) and uninstall updates. Make sure play store is not set to auto update apps. Then reboot.

I got one error message when first opening maps but then no problems and most of all no more battery drain. Something is wrong with the updated services. It was repaired in 4.4.3 but this will fix the battery drain without issue.

Here's a article that's more

In depth

http://www.product-reviews.net/2014/05/25/google-play-services-battery-drain-fix/

The drain was real. There's supposed to be an app that fixes it called gservicesfix

But the play services is only for update checks etc. The method I show works perfectly

Nd8 deodexed Rooted and modded
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DurhamHusker:
Thanks for the tip, Robalboa. Worked well. Only issue was that I kept getting the error when opening Maps.

Out of curiosity, I went a couple steps further. After uninstalling the updates for the Google Play Services system app using your suggested method and getting good results, I used Titanium Backup to make the update-stripped Google Play Services a user app. At that point, I allowed the Play Store to update to the latest Google Play Services. This also appears to fix the battery drain problem for me but has the added benefit of having the latest version of Play Services for proper operation of Maps and other Google apps (with no error messages).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Robalboa:
Hey thanks I used titanium like u said and converted to user app. And that alone took away the error message. Thanks alot.

ALL that services apk does is check for updates when u use a gapp but what sucks is the apps won't work If you disable it.

Thanks alot

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyquil:
So I'm planning on getting a Moto G, the 16GB version. The question is, which one?

I'm not from the US, so the XT1032(single sim) has to be bought by a friend/relative in the US then given to me. Now, there's an XT1033 which price has been recently lowered to $205.00 locally.

So the question is, which one should I get? I'm not entirely going to use the second sim slot so a Single sim would be perfect for me, although if I were to get the XT1033, what am I to lose, what's being compromised? The rom I intend to flash is CM11, which to my knowledge is already unified.

XT1032 = $199.00 c/o Amazon

XT1033 = $205.00(converted and rounded off) locally available

Any and all opinions will be greatly appreciated.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
I guess you should go for the XT1032, since quite a few ROMs don't support the XT1033 if you change from CyanogenMod. Also, the second sim icons are pretty annoying if you're using only one sim. Plus, from what I see, you'll be saving 6 dollars! :p
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyquil:
Great. I guess I'll be going for the XT1032 instead, else if I couldn't get someone to purchase it for me then I'll be falling to the XT1033.

The case options would be limited too since I wouldn't know where to obtain a trident or otterbox case locally.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
You can use the same case for both phones.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyquil:
Well, that's the beauty of it.

Scratch the XT1032, I might get the Moto G 4G LTE instead. It's got LTE and expandable storage:silly: Now, if my carrier doesn't support any of the LTE bands, will the phone be still useful? Also, in your opinion, how long before CM becomes compatible with the device too? Considering that it's unified but only the dual-sim variant -- XT1033.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
They'd probably have to build separately for 4G LTE because of some of the hardware differences, whereas for the XT1032 and XT1033 CM11 is virtually stable. At least for me.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lampemi:
Hello,

Since a few weeks a colleague mentions me I'm calling him a lot during the weekend. I thought it came by the flipcover and not closing the dialer app properly. He's on the favorite screen, so maybe by closing the flip cover the cover touched the image and the phone started dialing.

But....this morning my mother in law called me at 6.30am why I called her? I was a sleep so didn't call her, I checked the call log and indeed, a call went out to her a few minutes before. As the phone is next to me, I'm sure nobody touched the phone.

Anyone had this experience or knows what I can check?

Regards,

Michel
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pisherthefisher:
That's pretty weird. You're using a flip cover right? Do you usually keep your phone app open when you turn your screen off?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lampemi:
I'm calling a lot, I try to pay attention the phone app is closed.

This morning I'm sure the Moto g started dialing out of itself because everyone was still a sleep and it was just beside me on the nighttable.

Pretty anoying when he's calling people at night :mad:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
Same thing happens to me when I keep my phone in my pocket and I forget to lock it. It randomly starts calling my friends, and when I check the recent apps, it shows that my phone opened a large number of apps..... So I guess it's because when the phone isn't locked and something touches the screen, it triggers strange behaviour. That could be the case with your flip cover.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liveroy:
I gotta say that this sounds very creepy.

Anyway, it happens to me very rarely because the dialer is sort of stupidly made, wherever you press in the recent calls it dials directly (besides the contact picture).Same goes to the 3 favorites in the gray squares.

i was thinking of s4 but all advise me to get note2 but now i see many peoples telling me its 2 years old phone !!

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhousibo:
Just saw this thread and had some random thoughts about how to answer this. I got my note 2 on recontract 2.5 years ago and was the latest and greatest at the time. I've installed a new Rom (Thanks Ditto Note) which has the latest 4.4.2 version of Android and the applications for Note 3 and S5.

This is pretty cool (makes my phone feel brand new) but the reality is that Note 2 is not the Note 3. I think the screen is a big upgrade from the Note 2, bigger and crisper as well as better battery life. It sounds like you may be worried about the latest and greatest. I don't see many people complaining about Note 3 and going back to Note 2. Also Note 4 is supposed to be in the wings.

The only thing I would not recommend is if Note 3 IS NOT 4G/LTE (personally unless your network doesn't support, 4G/LTE is way to go). You may not use it but eventually, 4G speeds will be rolled out soon and good to have option.

Maybe someone who has gone from Note 2 to Note 3 may chip in and give their perspective.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guptam:
I agree with Zhousibo, that flashing DN3 does make the Note 2 awesome and brings many features from new devices like Note 3 and S5 to the Note 2.

I have a Note 2 with DN3 v5+ and it is working rather well, so personally I don't feel the need to upgrade to Note 3 yet. I'll wait and watch for Note 4.

However, you may not want to root and flash an alternate ROM immediately after purchase, especially if you might want to keep the warranty.

Also, Note 3 has better hardware like 1080p screen and also includes an IR sensor that can be a useful add-on with some of the new remote control applications in the market.

[Hardware Hacking General] Eddiesteveee:
Hello guys, I'm trying to interface android tab with peripherals. Problem is, it is having only one micro USB port which is used for charging and otg/host, only one function is possible at a time .But I need to charge the tab and simultaneously transfer data to peripherals, say for example I need to use external mouse and charge the tab at same time.

So, is there any way to do it?

I know usb has 4 pins 5v,d+,d-,gnd. I thought to wire charging input power to tab pin 5v and gnd and pin D+,D-of tab to mouse D+, D- and giving external power supply to 5v and gnd pin of mouse.

Is this a right method? To charge and transfer the data at the same time?

Kindly help me. Suggest a better way to do it.
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
(mini & micro) USB connectors have 5 pins: Vbus, D-, D+, Id, Gnd.

For OTG, the Id pin is connected to Gnd.

It's like the old adage, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink."

You can connect a peripheral to an OTG host and have it work fine.

You can then connect an external power supply across the Vbus and Gnd.

The problem is, how does your host device know that it can "drink"?

There are basically two ways.

If the host detects power on its input before it switches into OTG host mode it may continue to charge.

If the host is in OTG host mode, device-specific commands to the charging circuits may convince it to charge.

There may also be non-standard Id resistor values for signalling host & charge for some devices.
[Hardware Hacking General] E:V:A:
I think your mileage would vary very much depending on what devices your using. AOS was not meant to deal with people hacking on the USB port, and probably the code to implement those features depend on your HW/FW.

If its a Samsung, you can play with some resistor values like these:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25532839&postcount=2

I think the USB "CarKit" specifications should allow you both to charge and "connect" in some way.

A more easy solution would be to use a BlueTooth mouse and keep charging as usual.
