[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jacquestrapp:
First thing: if you want better reception, try a Touchwiz ROM instead of CM. I love the AOSP look and feel but the sad truth is that on this phone, a Touchwiz ROM will always have better reception that an AOSP one thanks to the fact that Samsung has never made the RIL available to devs.

I'm in the same boat and there aren't many options out there if you want something that gives you the option to install your own ROM (has a root and/or bootloader unlock method available). My wife's GS3 died a few months ago and we got here the original Moto X, its reception is better than my GS3. Of course, the most recent firmware version of it can't be rooted and this late in the phone's life it doesn't look like it will be. But it is relatively inexpensive if you don't want to wait for the X+1. Jumping carriers is always a nice thought but I've been on all the major carriers at one point or another and Verizon is still the best when it comes to coverage. They have to be, otherwise there's no way they'd get away with offering the lackluster range of phones that they do.

What I'm doing: hanging on to the GS3 and running a TW ROM, waiting for a new device which:

1. Is a significant jump in specs from the GS3. The GS5 doesn't qualify IMO, I don't want a screen any bigger than the GS3.

2. Has a root method available.

3. Has a removable battery and microsd card.

Of course, not many devices match that description.

I am new to the note 3 and did a full wipe in the 'advance options'...Coming from the s4 that was standard and it apparently soft bricks the phone here.

I am able to get to download mode. It just hangs on the Samsung screen.

Do we have the odin files for 4.4.2? I was on N900 I think. (Literally just got the phone so cant remember)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orphan203:
See if you boot into recovery by holding power, home and down key. If so download a custom rom on your computer and put on a sd card and try to install that way. Otherwise try to odin back to stock. Good luck
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colbur87:
Yeah i can get into the stock recovery. But how will i be able to install a custom rom through there? Im looking for the stock Odin files for NC2 but I dont think they have been leaked. Thinking about trying this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2703006&page=1

He said he's on 4.4.2, so he most likely has the A3 bootloader. You cannot restore back to MJ5 once you're on the A3 bootloader.

Looks like the only way is going to be Best Buy

im guessing carl1961 fix should be good for the ones stuck on a3 bl's but not sure. if you softbrick again after that then a reflash of nc2 is the way to go.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-alz:
Let me guess. You wiped your stock slot clean then rebooted? LOL

You need to get with [MENTION=3271517]carl1961[/MENTION] and he'll get ya back and running. Don't even think about the "restore to mj5" thread. You have the locked bootloader and it wouldn't work for you.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colbur87:
Ill try that if BB fails. I just want stock NC2 so i can root and safestrap away...

Cant believe I soft bricked a phone lol. This is like my 6th droid and ive never bricked b4.

At least im on MLG now. I bet BB can update it to NC2. I tried to sideload the update but it expects MLD.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K-alz:
I wonder why it soft bricked since you wiped then flashed a rom!?

from my (not anymore) locked note 3!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colbur87:
I have no idea. I was attributing it to the fact i did a full wipe in advance. I cheeked all expect micro SD then flashed Dynamic Kat and the theme. Then it wouldn't get past the Samsung Logo screen.

Maybe it was an MD5 mismatch...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawhide85:
First, we're you useing Safeway? And are you sure you didn't have "wipe sd" checked.? Sounds like you need to do a full restore. Follow the instruction to a "t" and you should be fine.

Theres a thread to restore to mj5. Your gonna have to do that<br />

So how will i be able to restore MJ5 when i updated to NC2? And yeah im sure I was on safestrap b4 i bricked.

you cant use the restore to mj5 method, different bootloaders. your best bet is bestbuy to reflash the official until somebody figures a method.

This will work

I soft bricked my phone last night after root, so had to follow that link to fix it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colbur87:
I just wanted to update and let everyone know who is interested how it turned out.

I was able to get MLG flashed via odin. Towel root doesnt work for that kernel so I took the phone to Best Buy and had them flash NC2. (Walking to my car, i rooted w/ Towel root and now im good to go).

Alternatively, I think it is possible to update the kernel on MLG and use towel root. Then you can SS to NC2.

Good luck

[Fire TV General] elmerohueso:
I'm sure you all know that Amazon locked down the ability to install apps from "Unknown Sources", which is why the only current method of sideloading apps is to do so over ADB. The following will let you enable "Unknown Sources", by directly changing the entry in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db, so you can perform app installations directly on the FTV (which will come in very handy for installed Xposed modules and other things).

The FTV doesn't have sqlite3 installed, or else this would be much simpler. These steps show you how to change the setting using the SQLite Editor app.

Note: Navigating the SQLite Editor app may require a mouse

Root your FireTV according to the steps here

Install SQLite Editor via ADB

Launch SQLite Editor, granting it SU access

Select "Settings Storage"

Select "settings.db"

Select the "global" table

Highlight the record "install_non_market_apps"

Hit the Menu button and select "Edit Record"

Change the Value to "1" and save the record

Reboot
[Fire TV General] droider137:
After I edit the field to 1, how do I save? There are two boxes at the bottom of the screen. When i highlight one it turns yellow. There is no text displayed. I don't want to do anything wrong.
[Fire TV General] tavery:
it's the button on the left.
[Fire TV General] alwaysbless:
This looks like it will probably be useful for editing a lot of things. I havent looked into it at all yet but one other thing i wouldnt mind changing is the dang on mouse icon from that weird little circle to an actual cursor.
[Fire TV General] highgear:
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. Does this get any sideloaded apps to show up on the main firetv menu/screen?

If so, do the apps need to be reinstalled or will it just show up? Wondering for xbmc. Thanks.
[Fire TV General] elmerohueso:
No
[Fire TV General] droider137:
Thanks I'll try it. But... Is there wrong with mine for not displaying? Or something that I should enable?
[Fire TV General] Hrodriguez77:

[Fire TV General] troby86:

[Fire TV General] troby86:
Lol, thanks.
[Fire TV General] fireTVnews.com:
You shouldn't worry if you followed the instructions above. SQLite Editor seems to be one of the good apps. I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly which SQL app is causing issues, but several people have reported using SQLite Editor without issues.
[Fire TV General] davekaz:
it does not work anymore I guess with new firmware update as that file is no longer there

I'm rooted and even went into es explorer and enabled show hidden files and couldnt find it in there either.maybe i could search for setting db file

Hi,

Every one the settings apk does work and you can check the unknown sources box to allow installation of any apk without sideloading!!

You need the settings.apk and you have to tweak a system app. Will provide a tutorial for all XDA community members in the near future. Right now looking to raise money for charity through paypal donations. It works I can install apks from any market, drop box or even when downloading from a web browser.

Fire TV is the stuff!!! Hope fire tv 2.0 offers HD audio and 4k compatibility and of course more memory
[Fire TV General] inwisso:

You ABSOLUTELY need XPosed (http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk) and HDXposed (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2830675&d=1404399174) module installed and even then, some Settings will kick you out of the app. But it does work (tested) for enabling "Unknown Sources".

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sephstyler:
Hi all,

On my M8, I have a couple of push email accounts, plus your usual array of push notifications from social media and IM apps. Typically, with WiFi on, I consume about 5% per hour of battery (per GSam) - Phone is connected to a LTE network, despite being on WiFi

Now, usually, when im out and about, I have 4G LTE enabled, so I get great speeds. I've noticed, that if I turn LTE off (and put it onto HSPA), my standby battery goes to about 3% per hour.

Given that most of the work day is indoors with WiFi, i'm looking for an app, or a method, for my M8 to switch to 3G WCDMA when its connected onto wifi, and when wifi disconnects, for it to switch to 4G LTE....

Anyone know how I can do this with minimal manual intervention? IFTTT doesnt seem to be able to, and whilst "Intelli3G" looked promising, it requires root, and I'm not rooted for the time being.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shudder123:
You could try Tasker and set up a profile to do that, but I believe you may still require root to do so..

A bug has been discovered in the Wiko smartphone, not only the Cink Five (clone of A116), but in all Wiko.

The bug:

When a Wiko received an sms with just:

=

The smartphone make a soft reboot and will not ask you pin number if you have, so there's a security issue with this bug.

It have been reported with original apk or similar, for me I'm using 8sms and also have the bug.

EvolveSMS and Go SMS have been reported without this bug

Can we have some reports to see if this bug is all Mediatek device with stock app for SMS, if you can write type of the phone and type of soc will be great.

Just talk to a friend with an A919I and there's the bug, report also on a MT6582

[size=+1]Edit 25/6/14:[/size]

An app have been published on the play store until we received a patch:

The application allows to avoid the bug "=".

It intercepts sms, remove it and indicate the number of the sender.

Yes nearly all Mediatek have the bug as it seems to be in the smali of framework.jar and Mediatek provide code to the seller.

Guys, I think need to take contact with seller to ask for a patch, like Wiko will provide here in France.
