The next one will be awesome when I get it on... Call of Duty: Sentinel logo...
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
Oh yeah. That's sexy.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
Hi there.

I am currently using a clear case and a glass screen protector... Now I am interested in buying a completely clear skin case to add some grip while still showing the metal finish, do you have those?

Cheers
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
I just have the clear carbon fiber skin, which is pretty clear. There's a picture of it a ways back
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
I am sorry, probably it's because I use Tapatalk, but I can't find any clear (transparent) skin photos, can you post a link?

Cheers
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
Nah, those pictures disappeared apparently...
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
Thanks. Looks good... But that's white and not transparent, right?
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
You can read the verizon and 4G logos, and they are actually quite clear and legible.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
I am sorry but I don't understand. Where's the metal finish then?
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
I thought the metal finish you were talking about was the phone itself.

You can't have a metallic finish and be transparent and clear. I'm pretty sure that's impossible.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
What I wanted was a fully transparent skin. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear
[One (M8) Accessories] Lopan12:
And I'm trying to tell you, this is what I have and it is fully transparent. Because the skin has a carbon fiber texture and pattern on it, you see the texture depending on the angle you view it at, and it reflects light. While at the same time, it is fully transparent, what you see is the color of my phone, and logos on the phone, clearly visible, because it is transparent. The area inside the batman logo, is my phone's aluminum back.

Here is what the vinyl looks like against a wood grain, with and without direct light.
[One (M8) Accessories] Badelhas:
Ah, Ok. I think I understand now. :)

So it's possible to order it without any batman logo or anything. How much would it be?

Hey Lopan12, just wondering if you would be able to knock up a clear one with this logo (Iron Man arc reactor) on it below the HTC logo?

Maybe I'll do an Avengers one or something...haven't had any cool new requests though...the CoD one was hard enough and awesome looking enough, that I haven't taken it off yet!
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
Skin arrived today, many thanks. Looks pretty cool! The fit is great, you've got that fit down to precision. I didn't use the top and bottom pieces but thanks for sending a complete full body skin. Only gripe is the glow in the dark is pretty weak! Literally have to hold it up to direct light for a little while to get even faintest of glows! If I was honest I'd prefer a smooth transparent skin as opposed to carbon effect, though that said it does provide some grip. Otherwise happy mate, thanks ;)

I really like the red shiny carbon fiber with the design a user posted pics of. Is there a blue one. Like that?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteRage:
Hello my names Aaron, I rooted my galaxy tab 3 (sm-t217s) a little bit ago then unrooted just because my wifi wasnt turning on.. I had to do a stock restore through odin to get it all working again. When I did that I got the new kitkat update and gladly updated it. Now again though I want to root it so I can again do all the great things you can do with rooting!

So my questions are:

Can I root it running 4.4.2 the same way I did when I was running 4.2.2? Will it brick it if I just put on a custom recovery the same way as before and let that install superSU?

I would just like to know and if not then is there another way currently to root it?

I couldnt find anything about it that is why I am posting about it.. must not be a very common tablet?

Anyways thanks for your time and help!

Either use towelroot to root from within android or you can still flash twrp from Odin and root that way. Twrp may set warranty bit, mine was was already tripped so I can't say dor sure if it does.

I used towel root on4.4.2 update worked great, and yes twrp does set set warrenty bit

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenesis:
I was rooted with towel root fine under the June 2014 update to 4.4.2, but I mistakenly took the update to NH4 while rooted. My device seems to be fine, but I lost root and Towel root will not seem to root me again, no way, no how. My warranty bit is clean, and I don't want to trip it, but I'd love to have root back. Is there anyything I can do on NH4 from within Android to get root back? TIA
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlesmanpr:
How did you do an unroot through Odin and which version of Towelroot did you use to root it again? I have the same tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsJay88:
I have SM-T217S running Kitkay 4.4.2. I've tried almost every root app there is (Kingo, Towel, ect.). They all say my device isn't compatible. And when I go to update under settings, it says that my device is running unauthorized software and that I need to use Samsung kies to flash. But it has no root & no custom software, everything is normal. I have tried using computer to root but still nothing. What could I do to fix it?
[Verizon LG G2] _tyler_:
I clean flashed it and in TWRP it said done and I clicked reboot and it was rebooting for at least 20 minutes...not a bootloop...just the boot animation playing over and over and over. I tried force rebooting and my SIM wouldn't be detected so I reflashed it (again, clean flash) it and now I'm waiting on the boot screen for an hour+...I know first boots usually take longer because it has to setup the OS...but an hour..? Did I do something wrong? Anyone know why this might be happening?

EDIT: I got into the ROM. No cell signal though. Anyone possibly know why?
[Verizon LG G2] Esteway.619:
Might have a bad download. I know u did a back up of your previous ROM? U should re download the ROM again make sure u select the correct variant and see what happens then.
[Verizon LG G2] _tyler_:
The download was fine because the MD5 matched what he said it should be. I selected the correct variant all 3 times I tried installing it.
[Verizon LG G2] Esteway.619:
Hmmm strange cuz it worked fine for me. I would say download the ROM again and try again.
[Verizon LG G2] _tyler_:
I tried this a few times already :/ I tried redownloading the 12B baseband, flashing CM11, everything worked fine. ReDLed the KK baseband and ROM, no cell signal (SIM not even recognized). I think I'll wait it out till CloudyG3 1.1 :(
[Verizon LG G2] chepelepe:
Does it worked finally?? I had that issue yesterday trying yo install versión 2.0
[Verizon LG G2] mjones73:
Considering his post is from June, I hope so. You may want to post your full issue here or in a new thread or the G3 thread itself.
[Verizon LG G2] player911:
Well since this thread is here, I want to ask some questions about CloudyG3's rom on the Verizon variant. Basically how it is? I really like the stock experience of the G2.

I've used the Flex port with good success before but there were several issues that I came back to stock. I know the stock SMS app refuses to work, which kinda sucks. I really like the popup SMS/MMS feature.

I'm just looking into whether it is worth it before I take the plunge. What are the steps to making CloudyG3 work the best?

1: What SMS is a good replacement that is similar to stock?

2: How to get the radio working?

3: Knock Code won't work, correct?

4: What issues/bugs to expect?

Hi,

In wm5 , I try to change the default saving camera photo directory into \Storage Card\ , but it still provide me a directory \My Document\, like this-> \Storage Card\My Document\

The value of this registry will change back to \My Document\ whatever the value I modify after the exit of all program and reboot. So strange??

Which value of registry should I change? My aim is to change the directory of saving camera photo taken into like this \Storage Card\Pictures

because when I sync with pc, the windows media player will copy the files to \Storage Card\Pictures not a default \Storage Card\My Pictures\ (If I can set the sync directory, then it's great.)

Thanks a lot.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Salik89:
I was wondering if it is possible to transfer files from my Z1 to a linux desktop without installing any softwares?

Currently I think I am unable to do so because the option of USB Connection Mode is greyed out, rendering me unable to do anything about it unless I install the software (as depicted here)

And thus, are there any 3rd party apps that I can install or tweak some settings in my phone so that I can transfer files?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B1nny:
Most devices nowadays (if not all of them) use MTP to transfer files from and to the device. MTP is not well supported under Linux as far as I'm aware, there are a couple of guides out there to get it working, you shouldn't have too many issues finding those by using Google.

Personally I prefer to use ADB to transfer files between my device and my desktop, you'll have to have some experience working with the terminal, it's not hard though.

[XDA Assist] mahomeless:
Hi everyone. This is my first post but I've been using this website as a resource for years. I'm struggling to find something and I hope you can point me in the right direction.

I just bought a Galaxy S5 right after it came out. Within a matter of days I managed to shatter the screen. I was working on my car and must have left the phone on the trunk/spoiler. I ended up driving away. I came home later figuring I just left it in the house... but I found it in the street with a broken screen. The phone amazingly works just fine, except the screen is completely unusable. I'm figuring out insurance right now...

In the mean time I would like to be able to check my phone and at least reply to anyone that has text messaged or called me and let them know that I will be waiting on a new device to come in. The phone is rooted, but USB debugging was not enabled when this accident occurred.

I read a couple of threads on connecting and controlling your phone over usb. The main requirement I can't get past is that most of them mention that USB debugging must be enabled for this to work. So I'm at a loss there. Another route I have been looking into is installing a VNC client from the google play store. Then connecting to that via my laptop. The issue with this route is that I cannot turn the remote server on.

I have seen a few threads but I have not been able to find one that allowed me to remotely control my phone without USB debugging enabled. That is my biggest problem.

If there is any possible way control it without the screen, please point me in that direction.

Thanks

Thanks.
[XDA Assist] bhiga:
Hey there. Sorry about your screen. Normally we'd point you to a thread to help but this is quick.

Most remote control solutions need some kind of verification or configuration, so my best suggestion would be to get a MHL adapter to get HDMI output from your phone. Galaxy S3 and newer require the newer 11-pin MHL so ensure compatibility if you're ordering online.

The HDMI will show what the screen would and as long as your touchscreen is still working you can operate your phone that way.

[XDA Assist] mahomeless:
dang. That was my last option. The touch screen does not work at all. So I can't control it. I don't know what to do..
[XDA Assist] bhiga:
:( That's unfortunate...

If you have a spare phone, I would put your SIM in there - you won't get any of the already-received messages/etc, but at least you can get and respond to new stuff.

I recommend replying to the [SUPPORT THREAD] The Galaxy ~S5~ All in one support thread!**NOOB FRIENDLY** or create a new thread in the Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section.

I'm sure there's someone smarter than me in there that will hopefully have an idea. Maybe there's an S5 dock that will let you use a USB keyboard/mouse or something? (Bluetooth would require pairing, which requires touchscreen interaction)

Good luck!!

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

UPDATE: I happen to have some accessories on-hand, so I just connected a USB keyboard to the (Samsung) USB OTG cable, and connected that to my S3 and it responds to input - at least if Samsung Keyboard is your default input method (it prompted me, as I usually use Flex T9). Can't swipe to unlock with the keyboard, but if you can at least get your phone unlocked it might get you somewhere.

Since I assume you can't see your screen in a usable fashion, you'll still need to combine the OTG keyboard/mouse with HDMI output to get both input and a viewable interface. It may be different on your S5, but at least on my S3, this requires a MHL adapter that has a micro USB port that accepts the OTG adapter and a

powered

USB OTG cable so you can plug the power into the USB OTG, and plug the USB OTG into the MHL adapter, and plug the MHL adapter into the phone.

I tried the Samsung OTG cable (P/N ET-R205UBEGSTA / UPC 635753495546) - it is not a powered USB OTG cable - with the Samsung MHL 2 adapter (P/N ET-H10FAUWESTA / UPC 887276848013) - and it did not work.

Just the USB OTG alone worked, but in your case that wouldn't give you an interface to see.

So definitely look into either a dock with USB and HDMI output or a

powered

OTG cable combined with MHL adapter with USB input.

Make sure the MHL adapter has a 5-pin USB, otherwise the OTG will definitely not work (the Samsung one I used does, but I can't verify since I don't have a powered OTG cable on-hand).

According to this thread, Samsung Smart Dock Multimedia Hub, the Samsung Galaxy Smart Dock, P/N EDD-S20JWEGSTA may do the trick! At least people reported it worked for the S4, so I would hope it works for the S5 as well.

I should note here that the additional testing I did above is

not

normal for XDA Assist... XDA Assist is not a troubleshooting forum. But I just happened to have the stuff handy so it was quick test. :)
[XDA Assist] mahomeless:
Ok sweet thank you. I will take a quick trip to best buy and see if they have any docks on hand. I do have another phone that I could use. It's not mine but I'm sure I can borrow it for now. I can't get the sim out the s5 though. It feels like it's glued in place. I also have a macbook with bluetooth. So if I could some how enable and access the phone without configuring it... I would be able to pair through bluetooth.
[XDA Assist] bhiga:
If your local Best Buy has a Samsung Experience (most non Mobile BBYs have them) hunt down the Samsung rep and see if they have additional advice and ideas.

[XDA Assist] bhiga:
Also, for SIM removal I have found it convenient to get a piece of removable tape (Scotch Magic - the not-so-clear one) to stick on the SIM, then pull the tape gently sideways. Otherwise when you try to push it with your finger you usually just bind it in the depression it sits in.

Good luck, and if you have further questions or need additional assistance, please follow up on the appropriate links above. :)

Hey guys

Got me sim-modded photon q on ebay.

Thing is, it keeps disconnecting voice calls and showing me it lost the network (the reception strength bar icon goes black on the inside) and then not finding it again until I restart the device. It drops out only during calls, don't seem to have that problem when using internet/data

I'm using CM11 msm8960 on congstar germany (aka t-mobile)

Things I've tried:

Resecuring the sim

Toggle NFC, wifi, bt

Got any ideas?

material for thought.... might be related to low battery... *seems* not to happen during battery at over 80
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
In the earlier revision of SIM mod done by CornholioGSM, the SIM ground was taken locally from the phone shielding and not wired directly from the ground pin of the original embedded SIM IC.

Some SIM cards work fine with this, but some are not stable when it's wired this way.

In my case, I had the same issue - occasional loss of SIM connection, usually during calls, needed to reboot to reinitialize the SIM.

You have too options:

1. Fix the SIM mod by adding the missing ground wire between the SIM slot and the embedded SIM IC spot.

2. Ask your network provider for a SIM replacement. In my case, I persisted bugging Vodaphone CZ until the third SIM I've got from them finally worked without issues, despite the ground being connected locally at the SIM slot. (I've got it fixed this way for me before we realized that the issue is caused by not using the SIM specific ground point. So I'm still on the earlier SIM mod variant - I haven't found the time for the SIM mod rework yet and I'm not pressed to do it now, when using the SIM that works fine.)

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] niko99:
is you asking about hard fix look on this below picture missing conneciton is mark on green

"missing" this may not be the correct term because ground is connected.,.. but is not taken from original embedded SIM IC what is mark on this photos ( but from other place on the phone) and that is a reason of signal issue

(sorry for my eng.)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gurila:

[MENTION=4792239]comstyle[/MENTION] is the guy i bought the xt897 from, and he opened it for me yesterday and we took a look inside... the grounding was already there. so it seems not to be the problem... he did put in new wires and clearned them up,... unfortunatly it has since it has gone from bad to worse :(

so FYI, the grounding seems not to be the problem with this bug.

I have ordered a new sim from the provider, let's see if that helps.

I DOES seem that the problem occurs when the battery is lower (no problems above 80%, somewhat at 60%, constant uder 40%)

nico, i will try the WCDMA trick... thanks... update once I have it...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] stasila:
Hi, guys!

My photon is affected by same issue. Sim mode have done together with colleague of mine.

Ground is connected properly.

My observation is: this issue occurs only with my main sim card from simqadrat - product of sipgate.de, MVNO based on eplus network. This happens mainly in areas with poor network coverage. Such area in my case - workplace. At home i had never such behavior.

BTW, i contacted cell provider already, and got sim card replacement. same issue. BUT: after i've put O2 sim card into the phone, issue disappeared.

Furthermore: i have also jolla handset. Jolla had also strange behavior with sim card from simqadrat. Handset los network, and had immediate reset. My Galaxy Note N7000 work perfectly with than sim card, and have no issues.

[MENTION=449970]gurila[/MENTION]: you have congstar, it's MVNO too, based on T-Mobile network.

I'm not GSM expert, but i assume that MVNO is root cause of our both cases. Just try to use any sim-card from e.g O2 or T-Mobile directly.

I'm really disappointed. Photon q was big hope to get long awaited qwerty slider. :(

Regards!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
No, it's not MVNO, it's the SIM card.

I had the same conditions - poor Vodafone network coverage at my workplace.

T-Mobile SIM - zero issues, anywhere.

Then I switched from T-Mobile to Vodafone and troubles started.

At workplace, every 2nd or 3rd call has been interrupted by the SIM error.

Then I've got a replacement SIM from Vodafone and things got even worse, now I couldn't finish even a single call at my workplace.

Then I've got another replacement SIM from Vodafone and I have zero issues since then.

As you can see, no MVNO has been involved in my case. But I needed to get 3 SIM cards from Vodafone till it was right.
