[LG Optimus G (International)] carlosjcar:
In my opinion the core experience and visual changes are improvements and to the regular Joe they might seem ok but I'm concerned about the hability we will have to modify this new version. Seems to me Google is locking it Down some to make it more "secure" and now it will be using Knox tech on that front. If we start getting qFuses ala Samsung we are going to have a hard time modding out devices it's not going to be impossible but very hard. Look at the Verizon and AT&T latest Samsung Models, they just now got rooted and beyond rooting custom roms might be possible but kernels and recoverys will be very very hard with the locked Boot loaders. And Google now wants to be like Apple and lock it all down. That part I don't like.
[LG Optimus G (International)] guidoido004:
No, they may want to lock the source. Tho, you can run any modification you want, if you know how to do it. In 1.5 it was a hell harder than it is today. So seeing people complaining about being hard to put a mod because you have to move stuff through folders, give permissions, and use a terminal, make me incredible nervous.

Still, I highly doubt they will lock the source. Android growns due the freedom of its open source. So no, it will stay opened, what the OEMs does is problem of the dumb people who gets their devices because they want a trademark logo instead of a good device.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Gilbert_Sarip:
Android L is like a revolution upgrade, not by looks, by the API's they put in it & ART will be default.

As a android developer I'm really surprise how much easier some API's have become, and ART is a big deal in developing for android.

Can't wait to start using those API's.

Q: Will LG release Android L for our E975?

If so I'm stick with this phone, love the Optimus UI, its really easy to use.

else have to buy a Nexus or G2 or G3.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Javier_Vzla:
Well, i think our Optimus G officialy die with KitKat 4.4.2, i don't believe that LG will update our device to Android L, or almost near in the future.

RIP Optimus G with Official updates, now its only on the hands of the developers!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Galileo:
Am I the only one who doesn't really like the new UI? I didn't even like the Kitkat UI tho, so incosistent.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Are you talking about the L? Then no, you are not the only one... I find some new functionality quite impressive, but the UI is just ugly (to my taste). Also, can't understand what the big deal is about the new animations, shadows, etc. (basically, the whole Material Design thing)...
[LG Optimus G (International)] gboos:
Happy to get the regular ART, but Android L is just to a version to sent older smartie's into retirement. Will see how CM's work is done with L. Don't think L is featured that well. Just to make it compatible to Wear and TV and so on ? Do I have to buey a new TV now ? For what ? Don't see serious graphical improvements. But everyone has his own opinion.

For me it is just creating a hug bubble with nothing serious in it.

Regards.

[LG Optimus G (International)] guidoido004:
It has a lot of new features. Some even from PA. Paranoid Android devs themselves loved L because is finally getting where they wanted it to be. Also, I loved the UI, looks better, tho as I'm a oem firmware lover since my Xperia s, it may have helped a lot. Never liked stock aosp Ui anyway.
[LG Optimus G (International)] akahroba:
I don't like the new UI either. It's more like a custom launcher than a standard one for daily use.
[LG Optimus G (International)] tietganFTW:
IMO I think the new Material Design looks pretty cool. Features like lock screen notifications are also long overdue
[LG Optimus G (International)] Javier_Vzla:
I've been following the porting of Android L in the nexus 4 and almost ready, but missing some details, I wonder if there will be some developer who carries the Optimus G, after completion of porting this

Im wondering if anyone has gone from the Desire Z to the Galaxy S Relay 4G in Europe.

I ask for Europe to make sure it is compatible with most networks over here.

I see there is even ROM development over here with 4.4.4 running :) I imagine codename "Android L" will probably run as well

I went from Desire Z to Galaxy S Relay, it works well in Norway.

You need to unlock the phone from T-Mobile, see this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2255892.

Be aware that this phone is not enabled for 4G (LTE) network, only 3.75G (HSPA+). HSPA+ is marketed as 4G in USA, not in Europe.

900 MHz 3g doesn't work!
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] sorgo:
I upgraded too from Desire Z to Relay, didn't even realize any 900 Mhz problem. I get always an H or E icon (HSDPA or EDGE), so 900 MHz should be working.

According to specs, the phone should work with these networks:

2G Network	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network	HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100

I have it in Telekom in Slovakia and in the meantime I travelled to NY and got no problem at all (I had it set to manual network selection to save roaming charges).

The phone I bought via ebay was locked (even the seller described it as unlocked) but after firmware downgrade I easily unlocked it. I recommend LiquidSmooth ROM, you'll fall in love with that phone! :)

My other finalist was Moto Photon Q, it supports GSM but lacks SIM card slot. If you want, there's a guy in Prague, the author of the sim card mod instruction post on xda, that can do it for you. But I chose the easier way. Now I have a small problem with display flex cable (probably too much openings/day) so I'm considering buying another Relay before they're gone with no decent qwerty phone around. And I can leave the current one for spare parts. I had to put away my DZ because of the keyboard. Some keys started to write several characters instead of one and there was no easy way to fix it.

FYI ebay deals in your name with customs, so they charge you immediately and the phone is delivered to your door without customs holding it for a week.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Emil Borconi:
T699 in the UK

Hi.

I did not owed the HTC, I used an Xpreia Pro prior to my S4 Relay. However I have the S4 relay for almost 1 year and I had no problems using it in the UK. I have traveled in Europe (France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania) and I was able to use it without any problems. AFAIK it works just fine on 900 Mhz but in 2G. The big question is what freq of 3G is your network provider using. For example, in UK I'm on EE network which is using 2100 Mhz for 3G and 1800 Mhz for 2G so the device works perfectly. Ifyou are on Movistar Spain than your phone will work fine, since the company is offering 2G on: 900/1800 MHz (both supported by S4 relay) and 900/2100 MHz UMTS ( from which 2100 is supported by the device). In very simple translation 2g will work everywhere without any problem, it might happen that is some places you will not get 3G signal.

Hope it helps.

Emil
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmemario:
Please show mercy,

I already googled and searched xda for some time now, but I couldnt find any satisfying answer.

I own a Optimus 3D (p920), which is now rooted, has wkpark and cwm. Tried PACMAN and nameless KitKat 4.4.4.

Its fun !!! ^^

I dont have gapps, no games, no email push apps etc. Just the clean ROM flashed.

That leads to my question my question :

I learned that the wkpark bootloader (sometimes) drains a lot of battery, especially on flashing a ROM.

I learned that you shall flash a ROM only above 70%. Sometimes after a flash I have 12% left, sometimes only exactly 1 %.

Sometimes even a simple restart takes my battery from 60% to 20%.

Google wasnt a big help here and Im not a coder/programmer.

Id like to understand what exactly is going on, if there would be any advices I could follow or if there is even a solution out there, that I might have missed.

Noob friendly answers welcome. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmemario:
Had to add this seperatly :

While sometimes a restart/re-flash made my battery down from 60% to 20%...just like today...it jumped from 60% to 20% and is now on 20% since 5 hours already...on normal use...which is not normal.

If I attach the power-cable, it jumps from 20% to 44% and starts loading. If its at 1% and I attach the powe-cable, it will start charging at 1 %.

And I thought battery (re)calibration is a myth ?

What is it that I dont (want to) understan here ? :rolleyes:

Hi everyone, I have a huge problem in my hands and wanted some guidance from you guys.

Recently I bought the GT-I9505 in the US and then I moved back to Brazil, once I got here I got an update OTA from 4.2.2 to 4.

After this update my network signal was gone , then after some research I found out that my IMEI number is lost. When I dia *#06# it appears that the IMEI is Null. My question is , is there any way of fixing it or is my phone gone forever? If I send it to mobile phone service is it possible that they fix it?

Thanks in advance guys... This forum is incredibly helpful

I also had a orange rom without messenger; you can get rid of this with any other ROM like cingular or dopod for instance. Please note that with a cingular rom with a bootloader > than 1.04 you will not be able to use another rom that do not match your cid in the futur

I have a HTC TyTN and it comes with Messenger loaded as well as Hotmail. I think the network locked devices have Messenger removed to force you to use the system they impose on their consumers.

Hi All,

I'm trying to do a full backup of an N5 but I can't find the nandroid backups anywhere. I can see them from Clockworkmod (though it's called '1970-03-07.17.53.47' for some reason) but I've used xplorer and ES File Explorer to look in /SDCARD/ClockWorkMod/ and the folder is empty not even a backup folder. I've tried doing a system search for the '1970-03-07.17.53.47' I mentioned it's named at as in CWM but no luck.

I want the file so I can download it to my pc along with other backups and make further backups as i am on a custom rom (omnirom) now.. How do I find where the backup is saved? I need to move it to my pc and delete it to make further backups. Also, Can i delete it from that location and can i save it in the regular clockworkmod backup folder location for further backups? I am losing about 4.17 gb data for that backup and want a simple backup without all the apps and data that wouldnt be so large.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axopro:
Ok this phone was running out of space, so my friend attempted to delete one of her exchange email accounts from work to free some space and then the phone went crazy crashing every second. After pulling the battery out, it boots and gets stuck in the ATT logo.

I have searched this forum and google endlessly and the most reasonable solution i found was trying to access the storage using ADB.

so this is what happens:

1. Windows does not detect any hardware being plugged in the computer if the phone is in recovery mode like in the attached pictures.

2. Windows DOES detect an MTP device when the phone is stuck in the ATT logo, and plugged to the computer, but the driver fails to install and i get the yellow exclamation mark on the device manager under portable devices.

3. I waited and clicked on scan for hardware changes but still get the "Device cannot start (code 10)" in windows.

4. I wiped the cache partition to no effect.

5. Everything is stored on the internal memory, she never had a micro SD card installed.

All i know this is a stock phone. My friend got it with ATT and no one ever played with it (rooting and stuff). I have no clue about what software version was installed other than the numbers you see in the attached pictures.

I know "wipe data/factory reset" will get rid of the problems, but she needs to recover pictures, and work related SMSs that she never backed up. Losing this data will set her back very badly with customers and more than a year of work.

Any tips are much appreciated and i hope there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks a lot.

I don't know if tempered glass will have the same problem; but I placed a plastic screen protector on the back and I noticed that if you cover the flash then when you take a picture, the light from the flash will travel along the protector and cause an annoying blue glare in all your night shots using the flash.

i was worried why my photos with flash looked weird blue. thanks guys for the heads up. the only thing which was keeping me away from Sony phones was lack of Gorilla glass ( dunno why they are so stubborn ) . now because of introduction of tempered glass i switch over to Sony from M7.
