I think he was going off the release date that was only listed via the mobile site that stated7/8. It is frustrating there's no place to get this brick and mortar or Amazon. Best Buy is obviously not sold out on both items, so it must just be a placeholder until they know more and actually have product in inventory.
[LG G Watch] mhoepfin:
Yeah this stinks, was expecting to be able to order on line pick up in store today.
[LG G Watch] nxt:
AT&T stores will have it on July 11. AndroidPolice.com and others reporting it.
[LG G Watch] newtonfb:
I just called around to my local best buys and they dont have it. WTF i wanted to go pick it up today
[LG G Watch] PaulG1488:
Best buy mobile app now shows the release date as 7/13/14
[LG G Watch] mhoepfin:
Ordered from Google Play and got it next day. They have a good return policy too. Decided this was a better alternative than trying to chase this down at Best Buy and AT&T.
[LG G Watch] pokey9000:
Bought one at an at&t corporate store yesterday.
[LG G Watch] PaulG1488:
So ymmv but I managed to find one best buy near me that had 2 g watches in stock and I bought both. Most stores in my area aren't receiving any till the 20th. They aren't on display yet at the store I bought from they were just boxed up in the back. So give your local best buy a call and hopefully you get lucky. They should be able to check inventory for stores near you as well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthBayBruin:
Hello,

I'm currently running a rooted HTC One (m8) with a stock recovery and stock sense 6. I simply booted into TWRP using the fastboot commands to flash the SuperSU .zip file. I am currently running SuperSU version 1.94 and I noticed there was an update to SuperSU version 2.0.

Is it ok to update to the latest SuperSU app? I'm not very familiar with SuperSU and I don't know if the updated SuperSU changes anything for root binaries.

I figured I should ask before I just go ahead and update the app.

Thank you for your help.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
It's perfectly fine to go ahead and update to it, I myself haven't noticed a difference and i've ran both versions for unspecified extended periods of time with no problems.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SouthBayBruin:
Thank you. I was really asking is it ok to update the app through the google play store or if I should flash the zip file in TWRP recovery. I went ahead and played it safe and flashed the V 2.01 SuperSU app. Everything appears to be working properly right now.

Thanks for the help.

Hello

I received a Galaxy Express 2 SM-G3815 as a gift today.

The phone is new and I want to install a custom rom, this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2771661

I root-ed the phone, put the rom and the ClockWorkMod 6.0.4.8 on the sd card and tried a few times to install it.

When i boot into recovery mode, I only have

reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

I wipe data/factory reset but there is no /format system to do as required in "how to install" steps

When I try to install from external storage, I get an error, failed to verify whole-file signature but it says install complete and the phone restarts. But when it restarts, the stock rom is installing apps.

Please help.

I've just got myself a Vario II as a replacement for my Vario. If I put the sim from my VBVario in, will my internet access automatically be 3G or do I need to ring someone? Is there a way to check?

Cheers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kevino:
If its a SIM issued in the last 2-3 years it should be fine. You will see a 'U' (or perhaps '3G' depending on ROM) instead of a G when you are in UMTS (3G) coverage.

You may or may not need to telephone them to get HSDPA turned on. The only way to see if this is working is to do a speed test (search this forum for url's) when in UMTS coverage.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Izzard-UK:
Good tip that!

I have put my lovely T-mobile UK SIM into a new Orange SPV M3100. Speeds were going up to standard 3G level (384 kbps).

I rang T-mobile on 150 and found a human, eventually, and asked for HSPDA service to be enabled on my account which was done straight away. My next speed test got me neary 1 Mbit/s, so I'm happy!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kevino:
Cool, thanks for the thanks :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yannyb:
Hopefully you guys can help me out with this HSDPA related query on t-mobile.

I've just got my MDA VarioII (TyTN) and have taken the web'n'walk package with it for £7.50 per month.

I'm getting the 3G speeds of around 380kbps but started reading threads like this one and thought, crikey, I'll have me some of this HSDPA malarkey!

So I phoned t-mobile and asked them to activate the service on my account and after eventually getting passed to their technical department, I've been told that to get HSDPA you have to have either the web'n'walk plus or max package.

These are either £12.50pm or £22.50pm which is obviously a good bit more.

Can you confirm if yourselves have these packages or if you've been able to get HSDPA enabled on the standard web'n'walk?

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] athiqueahmed:
That's just them talking rubbish. I'm on the £7.50 WnW.

I had to argue for an hour on the phone, which got me nowhere, they were spouting crap about how I had to upgrade my plan. Even tech support was telling me this.

Afterwards I called back and luckily got put through to someone who actually knew what I was talking about. It took a second to have it enabled.

A lot of people have experienced that problem...so you just might as well. It seems we know more about the technology they're employing than the networks themselves...which is absolutely disgusting on T-Mobiles part.

Just remember...you're right, they're wrong.

Also...an easy way of checking is if you're signed up to My T-Mobile...you can check the additional services bit for 'HSDPA 384k Uplink' which should be enabled...after they enable it that is.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] busterboy:
Totally correct..:) I had the same problem only 4 days after taking out the new WnW account with my Vario 2. After 2 seperate phone calls I still had no luck so I told them the phone would be returned fully boxed as I was in my right as other peeps on the £7.50 WnW package had this enabled. After 4 hours they rang me back saying that it would be enabled as they didnt want to lose me as a new customer..

The moral of this story is...............PERSIST UNTIL THEY GET IT ENABLED...;)

It does make a lot of difference too..:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] yannyb:
Thanks for the info!

Sounds like they're chancing their arm with this.

Apart from citing customers like yourselves are there any other arguments I can put to them in case they start to play hardball?

I've had my contract for a month now so I'm out of the 14 day cooling off period but it seems to me that this could be argued as a treating customers fairly issue...

I prefer to go into these battles with as much ammunition as possible!!

Thanks again

draging up an old thread, how do you see what speed your running at?

and hmmm, 345kbit/sec, dont look like im using hspda, dam it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] KK43:
Just got my Vario2, called CS and they said HSDPA is already switched on, tried a speed test with dslreports, speed comes back in the low 300s?!

Also when it's downloading, the 3G sign doesn't change to a U or H (read in a few posts that it's supposed to?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] agentp:
tmobile, and many other roms, sets it to stay as the 3G icon at all times.

HSDPA speeds are variable, though that is a little low - mine with 2bars reception at midnight just now got 1048kbps
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] kevino:
3G is exactly the same as U. Just some ROMS have one, some the other.

In most WM6 ROMS the 3G will change to H when HSDPA is being used.

Other than doing a speedtest you can check whether HSDPA is working by using the fieldtest application.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] KK43:
Thanks for the info. What's fieldtest application & how do I use it? By the way it's a WM5 device, not WM6
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
Fieldest is the HTC engineer tool which shows advanced network stats (which you have to be a geek to understand, as they're not presented in a user-friendly way at all). It's available from the XDA Wiki.

T-Mobile are being covetous as to who gets HSDPA enabled now - unless you're a business customer it's probably 50/50 as to whether you can get it enabled on first call. I only got it enabled when I got through to a tech engineer as opposed to a regular CSR.

You can use the fit4cat Hermes Tweaker (from fit4cat.de, registration required) to check whether HSDPA is enabled on your phone or not. If it's not enabled you'll have to do the ring-and-pray with TM cust services.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] forlornity:
any chance we could get a bit of a guide on how to ge t-mobile to enable it on your line?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] forlornity:
I just tried them on 150, they said that it's not available on the flext 25 + wnw prices plan, apparently i'd have to upgrade to flext 35, is this true?

does anyone have it enabled on anything less than flext 25?

thanks, Forlornity
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] forlornity:
sorry for the triple post, but I've _apparently_ already got HSDPA enabled, but when I run a speed test on dslreports.com, it comes out with my speed being 44kbit/sec every time.

Is this due to something I don't know about?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fil:
ill try them sometime in the week, tho im on a pre flex-t tarriff?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] forlornity:
I think it's the web'n'walk that counts, you just gotta have web'n'walk on your price plan, according to customer support, they've started putting HSDPA on all web'n'walk phones as long as they're capable.

I'm still getting GPRS speeds though, anyone got any thoughts?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] forlornity:
Left Blank on purpose.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] KK43:
well all I know is that CS said it's switched on (apparently already was when I called to check), but speedtest shows low 300s, although it seems fast...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] agentp:
are you doing a speed test from a cold start? i.e. freshly booted phone, IE opened new rather than navigating from another page/browsing session.

i've noticed that my speed decreases the more i do the test, but shutting IE and starting the test again bounces it back up to about 1mbps.

you should be able to see that HSDPA has been enabled on your my tmobile account settings iirc.

and obviously you need to take into account number users on your cell/signal strength etc - saying that i am in central london and able to get about 1mbps at lunchtime in a busy area
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] forlornity:
I have my answer now :)

Problem is signal strength, I was trying it in my room in the bottom of the house, which is halfway up a hill, if I go to the top of the house I can get 2 bars of HSDPA reception then it works fine :D

I suppose I'll have to use HSDPA only when out and about...

Problem Solved, T-Mobile ARE turning HSDPA on for all new Web'n'Walk customers it seems.

Happy Surfing :) Forlornity
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] benbranson:
It should be turned on as standard now...

I'm probably going to regret putting this but....I work for T-mobile (not in Cust Servs, in a store). If you get any major problems...feel free to email me and I'll see what I can do!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fil:
mines not turned on still, havent phone t-mobile tho, ive had w&w since day 1 1st of spril 06 i think, but only a 2g device upuntil now, i live east london / essex so sould be well able to get hsdpa?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] terryd1980:
T-Mobile are terrible at CS level

Hi Guys, just thought I'd throw in my two cents...

I rang TM CS a few months ago asking for HSDPA to be enabled, they first told me that it would be a £2.50pm additional fee to the WnW package, I said fine and they told me it would be working within the hour.... nothing happened.

I rang a second time and was told that it was a £5pm charge and that it would be working within the hour, I accepted.... again nothing happened.

I rang a 3rd time, I was told that it was impossible on my Relax 25 package and that I would have to change my tariff to £22.50 business thing to get HSDPA... I was not amused.

4th go I was once again told that the £2.50pm charge was correct, I then lost my data connection for 9 days!!!!

I was told in that time that there was a data issue with several Vario II phones and that if I waited I would eventually see it work. I exploded!!

After 9 days of waiting impatiently I finally found a bright spark amongst the sea of idiots (I wish I could remember his name) and he re-enabled my data connection which someone had severly screwed and enabled HSDPA for free.

Basically if you want it done properly you have to keep badgering them until you get past the morons and the clever **** arrives.

I'll get off my soap box now! lol

Kind regards and very good luck.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Wam7:
If you think T-mobile CS are bad you should have tried Oranges of late... you don't want to know!!

When I spoke to T-Mobile CS I tried 5 different people who told me the same thing... that HSDPA wasn't enabled on my WnW and I would have to upgrade to WnW plus. In actuality I did have HSDPA (just had to enable it on the phone) and also I did NOT upgrade to WnW plus. I think they just tell people that to increase revenue!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] benbranson:
If you register on my t-mobile (just goto www.t-mobile.co.uk and click on register!) you can check (and I think add) the HSDPA service there. what you need to look for is HSDPA 384 uplink - that gives you the 1.8 mb downlink (soon to be upgraded to 3.6 by the way!).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ribdool:
The t-mobile site is pretty sweet.

check all your credit.. send the configuration settings to your phone. so you dont need to search xda devs for a cab..

Dunno how they knew but there system identified my phone as a varioII. and has a picture of it.

I cant find this enable HSPDA setting though.. which menu's must we click through ?

Also t-mobile offer mobile e-mail.. what exaclty is this? cos we can allready get mobile e-mail.. is it some kind of exchange/push service ? - Its a free option to add onto your price plan.. just I have no idea what it is exaclty.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fil:
interesting, probably worth starting a new thread for this, or having a search incase there is one ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fil:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] agentp:
mobile email in the settings menu is just a guide to help you set up your email. in the account settings iirc it's a placeholder for their blackberry service - which is about £10 or so a month - it's valued at zero as you need a compatible device etc

Yer unfortunatly there isnt much you can do about it. The t&cs state its not allowed now :(

Do you have a copy of the t&cs when you signed up for the contract?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Acuum2:
yes/no, i will post back tomorrow with a report of what has happened...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
cool.

The skype thing kinda makes sence since you would be using the 1GB fair usage per month to make freee phone calls lol! Tmobile would lose quite a hefty ammount from that.

The IM stuff isnt quite as obvious because you could IM instead of txt...but IRC isnt really a person to person solution like texting so i would argue that should be lifted from the restriction

I can understand why MSN is blocked though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] agentp:
i think irc could be reasonably construed as 'instant messaging', which is the term they use to forbid msn and other things on the basic plan.

When i signed up 12 months ago this was all fine, and there weren't really any terms that i remember other than 'fair usage policy applies' - it seems pretty dodgy on tmo's account that they've suddenly massively expanded this policy to make you upgrade to a more expensive w'n'w or stop using services you're used to.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
Yer i agree, surely they would have to send out a revised t&cs for existing contract holders?? When wanadoo changed thier t&cs they had to send out a letter to everyone informing them.

My contract started about a month ago so my t&cs are the same as thos online but surely this can be counted as something dodgy for users who signed up before they were changed??
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dave_uk:
It's always been like that....

I signed up to the basic WnW, soon after release, when it was the only one available. At the time, the t's & c's were actually more restrictive than they are now, banning voice and messaging over IP (Skype & MSN), as well as all audio and video streaming, p2p and use as a modem. There was, however, no one gig usage cap, or in fact any cap at all.

I presume, since you said that you were an early adopter of WnW as well, that you are on the same package, in which case I would save yourself the aggro (as T-Mobile are perfectly within their rights) and upgrade to Plus (£12.50/month) which will allow you everything except Skype and a 3Gb usage cap or Max (£22.50/month) which has no restrictions and a 10Gb limit.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pope523:
I didn't actually crap my pants.

Netflix was working for a couple of months, then it stopped working. When I try to play any video it says it can't play it and to try again later or watch something else. I uninstalled and reinstalled Netflix, I cleared the cache and data for the app, I created a new Netflix account, nothing has helped.

Anything short of a factory restore I can try? Netflix support has been unsuccessful and referred me to Amazon. But I just rooted the Fire TV and I've got XBMC all set up the way I like it and I don't want to lose all that crap.

Thanks

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falkien:
I have had strange problems with my Netflix. Whenever I exit XBMC and launch Netflix it will start to load the video I want to watch, then it gives me a similar message. Pull the power and reset FireTV and it works fine. I wish there was a simple reboot app that I could sideload. A reboot always fixes any weird problems that I am having with Netflix.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htpcforall:
Netflix??

I know this a matter of opinion and add-ons installed, but I would say ditch Netflix and use XBMC exclusively. :confused:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pope523:
Yes, I'd be perfectly happy to do so. But my kids want to unending supply of idiotic animation that Netflix provides and I don't want to fill my file server up with it.

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roustabout:
Have you tried using the amazon app control to uninstall it and then redownload? I had both the Amazon and the Play versions of Netflix on my ftv at one point, and had some issues loading Netflix videos. I uninstalled both, then reinstalled just the Amazon one and have not had problems more than once or twice since, and rebooting cleared the issue each time once I'd done the reinstall.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realtuxen:
Sure you exited XBMC properly, or killed it.

I get this problem if I start playing something in xbmc press home and niether prime or netflix will play, seems like it's because xbmc is holding on to the video layer still.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pope523:
Yes, I had done this early on.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pope523:
I would think power cycling the FireTV would clear that up.

In any case, I came into the living room the other day and Netflix was suddenly working again. Perhaps the clearing Data and Cache for Amazon Video did it, but it needed to reboot and I didn't do that part?

I hate not knowing for sure how something got fixed. But hey, the kids can watch the friggin' Power Rangers and My Little Pony again.

Thanks everyone
