From what I've heard from Boy Genius, they disabled it on their network, so unless someone can figure a way out, it's not going to work.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chymmylt:
True but I spend a 3rd of the year in Europe where I can use it (not that I have but I have a number of friends who have phones capable) and it'd be nice to have the ability if I need it :)

Anyone managed to downgrade from Cingular 1.31 (bootloader 1.06) tried all the tricks on wiki but without success. Probably its because of bootloader version, as from 1.04 is quite easy to go back with rom. Do You have any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
@lukjod: you need a rom matching your CID with bootloader 1.04 to be able to downgrade.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] westm003:
The question is were to get it.... and in the past i remember with the s100 to hack the files and put t-mob003 (my device code) in the files to flash even a rom that was not correct... Any chance doing this also?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
The video call feature is still there (pressing soft button that says "Video Call" on the Phone app works just fine). You get this back when you reload the TyTN extrom instead of the Cingular. Just no link to the physical button. I need to play around on a ROM that has a working video call button to see how it's done before I can fix this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chymmylt:
So if I upgraded to Cingulars rom but used the extrom from the TyTN it would look and have all the functions of the TyTN roms (except the 2 keys with mapping issues - one you've kindly fixed) but the benifits of a more currently tweeked OS? Aside from having the mapping issues and having to downgrade to upgrade in the future (but being a TyTN I shouldn't have problems with this right?) are there any other downsides to doing this?

Thanks :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
Nope... other than the fact that the upgrade process itself is a bit risky. This is because it takes 25 minutes to accomplish and any interruptions during the process itself can brick your device.

Close all apps, disable screen saver and use a rear USB port when flashing then walk away and go do something else for 25 minutes or the suspense will drive you nuts..... :rolleyes:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chymmylt:
Hahaha - I don't sweat the firmware upgrades any more (I do reconize the risk) but after 15 years of firmware upgrades I'm used to the hold your breath and don't breath until the flash is done process - of course 25 minutes is a bit longer then most of them but I think that's similar to when I flashed my iPaq. The phone itself is still new enough I can return it if something goes wrong with it so I will wait that period out first (for legit problems - if I brick it - that's my own stupid fault!) then I'll see what I want to do :) Is your current rec. the Cingular 1.34 rom with the original tytn ext. rom? (course that may completely change in 2 weeks I know)

Thanks again :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
pretty much, 1.34 w/TyTN extrom. Or load 1.31 if you want to boast that u have AKU2.6.... 'cause there's no actual diff that I can see.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chymmylt:
Hey sleuth - quick question - how come you are still running radio rom 1.13 and not a new version - just curious :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pietrucci:
No you can't (can you?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Sleuth255:
I've had no complaints with 1.13.00.00 and there are no earth shattering new features that I've been able to determine in the newer radio ROMS. I have also found in the past that mixing radio roms sometimes leads to unusual behavior. In short, I'm happy with the combination I'm running FTTB.

AKU3.x will change all this of course...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tschabo:
I have a TyTN and use it on Cingular's 3G network with the following ROMs:

HTC TyTN (Cingular)

ROM version: 1.18.255.3

ROM date: 07/22/06

Radio version: 1.03.03.10

Ext ROM 1.18.255.106

Last night, I tried to upgrade to a more recent radio ROM to see whether that allowed me to have a simultaneous voice/data call since it currently doesn't work while I am connected to Cingular's 3G network. Unfortunately, my bootloader is 1.06. Hence, I need to flash a brandnew ROM in order to upgrade the radio ROM later.

Can anyone suggest which ROM to upgrade to? Any idea when the new HTC ROM is going to be released?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gravejoker:
WTF .. Dude .. Are you sure you have 1.06 bootloader ? You seem to have the original HTC WWE ROM ..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] tschabo:
I know, I was amazed myself. Based on the configuration chart, I should have bootloader 1.04. However, pof confirmed this morning that I indeed have the 1.06 bootloader. What a bummer since I was only interested in the radio ROM
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] gravejoker:
The other guys can confirm this (pof, Sleuth255, goestoeleven) .. but I think the newer Cingualr ROMs have bootloader 1.06 .. That's when people started to notice that they couldnt downgrade to other ROMs because of the bootloader issue .. pof's working on a patch for downgrading your bootloader to 1.04 but it might take some time ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] chymmylt:
I know that the 1.31 rom I upgraded to has the 1.6 bootloaded and I'm 99% sure I remember reading the 1.34 does as well.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] software_samurai:
FYI

I just bought 2 HTC TyTn (one for me, one for my wife), and both had the 1.18.225.3 ROM with the 1.06 bootloader. But just downgrade by loading the HTC ROM available here (with the 1.04 bootloader) and you're good to go.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] digitalfx:
Is this the latest Cingular rom:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] digitalfx:
Thanks,

I am on Cingular network in U.S.. Would you recomend this upgrade or should I wait for the new HTC ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pjbongco:
How are you Sleuth? I dont know if you can still recall me but I consulted you in the Kaiser forum regarding my problem with my Tilt. I want to activate its video call and installed the HTC rom. But after seeing the posts here I was thinking if the ExtROM cab for Hermes will work with my AT&T Tilt so that I can use the video call option. I already installed the HTC Rom in my Tilt so that it will have the video call option in the dialer. I was able to have a connected 3G/video call from the other line using a nokia e90. However, my Tilt could not send/receive video image to/from the other line despite being connected. Is there an ExtROM file for the Tilt? Will installing it enablemy Tilt to send/receive video image/calls?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] XtreMe_G:
well, shouldnt you be asking this in the kaiser forum then? besides.......the tilt doesnt have a front camera, so how are you gonna get it to send video
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pjbongco:
I already did. Unfortunately, I didnt get any favorable response to my query. I just thought that since Cingular 8525 has no front camera similar to the Tilt Cingular 8525 owners had already found a fix/remedy to activate its video call capability, if indeed possible. Even if without front camera I think you can still use the back/main camera to send video for purposes of video call similar to Nokia 91 and Nokia 6630 which has no front camera but uses only the back camera for purposes of video calling. Thus, its not automatic that if the device has no front camera it could not send images for video calls. What is important is the device has 3G and the network operator supports video call thru 3G.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GXGOW:
Stock ROM doesn't support USB on-the-go, so you aren't able to pair it. Most KitKat ROMs made by Maclaw do support it, but it's still in beta. You can check on how to use it here:

http://novafusion.pl/tutorials/how-to-use-usb-otg-s3-mini/

You can use it in combination with Sixaxis controller (on Play Store, supports PS3 controllers but I'm not sure about 360).

Hi,

I have rooted old phone with low internal storage and Link2SD installed.

The problem is, that even if I have almost all aplications linked (by Link2SD) to SD card, I've got low free space on internal storage.

I've executed "du -h -m -d 1" command to get sizes of all subfolders in "/data" folder (which I suppose is internal storage) and the results are in attached file.

Whole /data directory size is 297 MB.

/dalvik-cache + /sdext2 is 207 MB in total. Other folders' sizes are negligible.

My question is: Where is the difference of 297-207=90 MB?

Thanks for replies

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyManR32:
Gday All,

I realise that this topic has been mentioned in a few threads, but from what I could find, there is no definiteve fix.

Is there a way to disable this so that a non-genuine charger will work once the screen turns off, or if I was to root the device, is there then a way to do it.

Please dont flame me, I'm a total newb to android, and I dont mind admitting that.

Bit dissapointed that Samsung has sunk to this.

TIA!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Not sure what issues you are having but I have been using a few different chargers without issue. Which exact charging method are you trying to use (cable type, charger type, charger rated output voltage and amperage)?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The problem isn't that the charger is 3rd party.

The problem is that the device requires a 5.1V 2A charger or higher.

Anything lower than that is simply not powerful enough. You can find these specs in small lettering on the charger. Most cheap 3rd party launchers are 5V 1A.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericbergan:
I was one of the ones having problems with it needing to have the screen on to charge. It was a problem with the charger (yes, it was marked as a high amperage charger), changed to a different one (Anker 40W 5 port) and it's working fine.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Huge second on the Anker. I love that charger by the way. With various devices I would get irritated with some refusing to charge on certain chargers (my BlackBerry Bold in particular). I've since switched to the Anker 5 port 40 Watt and no longer worry about which cable I'm reaching for. Every device gets the power it needs with no fuss.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyManR32:
Initially i was using a belkin 2 port, 2.1amp per port charger, which would start charging but stop once the screen was off.

This seems logical, but it does work when i use the genuine charger from my sgs3 which is a 5vdc 1a charger. Takes all night to charge, but charges non the less.

Thanks for the info mate, ill see if i can get hold of one of these in australia, that being said, it appears that these are also 5v rather then the 5.3?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
That's because the retention rate of the S3's charger is higher than that of a generic cheap 3rd party one. Where the S3 charger actually delivers 0.8-1A, the cheaper ones usually average around 0.5A.

This is why charging over a usb 2.0 port without any power boosts also (usually, there have been some exceptions) doesn't work.

I usually charge mine with my Note 3 or S5 charger, as the three are all the same charger.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the81kid:
Good morning

I have:

LG G Pad 8.3 with LG's custom interface OS

Android version 4.4.2

Kernel version 3.4.0

Build number KOT49I.V50020b

Software version V50020b

Here is an image of the software information:

http://s30.postimg.org/taiyvu2k1/2014_06_28_14_31_41.png

I have already:

The LG drivers installed and updated -

Rooted the G Pad with towelroot's tr.apk (many thanks to the guy who made that method!)

Root checker and SuperSU installed and verifying the device is rooted

Google USB drivers (after rooting, the device refused to be recognized through the USB - installing the Google USB drivers seemed to fix that, although occasionally it dissappears again and I have to unplug/replug the USB cable)

Google ADT Bundle (adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140624 - although to be honest, my knowledge of using this program is limited)

Flashify (and Rashr - uncertain which is best to use, although both look good)

My goal:

Install TWRP

Use TWRP to install Cyanogen Mod

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit. My G Pad has a micro SD card, which it can also write to (thanks to the G Pad being rooted). I'm a competent Windows and Android user, but by no means a hacker. If I want to upgrade or fix something, I read read read and try try try. But installing a new OS on my tablet is a new experience and I don't want to turn my tablet into a permanent brick! I have done all my homework, and think I know all the concepts, and generally the procedure. Now I just need the specific files and procedure for my G Pad.

My questions are:

1) Which TWRP recovery/boot image should I use to flash my device? (I tried a version, and briefly turned my G Pad into a brick! Fortunately I tried some power+volume combinations that I discovered, and that seemed to return to the original system.) My best options I have found seem to be:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2551499

plus using step 3 here (a loki-exploitable ABOOT and TWRP)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698267

...or only:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/213

2) Do I need to use an aboot/loki file first? (Apparently 4.4.2 doesn't have a loki exploit? I'm a little unclear about this tbh.)

3) Can/should I use ROM Toolbox or ROM Manager?

4) If you try to flash a TWRP, and it doesn't work, does/can the device just return to the standard OS? (This is what seems to have happened with my G Pad.)

5) Should I wait until the community has more experience TWRP-ing and modding the G Pad Kit Kat 4.4.2, V50020b device? (There seem to be a lot of posts with people installing TWRP and installing another OS.)

Many thanks in advance. And while I am decent with computers and technology in general, I humbly ask to speak/explain it to me including steps you probably already know are obvious(!) - I don't want to miss anything, and it is probably not obvious for me, as this is more or less my first time! If I can make this question clearer, or can provide better information, I will update this comment. Again, many thanks in advance!
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komos:

With this recovery you can flash LG based ROMS like LRS G Pad http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2621904

If you want to install an AOSP based rom you have to downgrade to a 4.2.2 rom or bootimage http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2621904 (flash the 4.2.2 zip from recovery , reboot again to recovery , and then flash CM or AOSP based rom)

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
It's just bad luck m8, I feel for you but the fact of the matter is the devices now cracked and it'd be impossible to convince Sony or your provider of how it happened and to get a sympathetic ear, looks to me like you'll have to either fix it yourself or claim on insurance.

Did you insure it? How old is it if not? You may be able to add insurance on from your provider, I know EE in the UK offer this service at any time.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_max:
It's actually Dragontrail glass. But both Gorilla and Dragontrail are NOT unbreakable: they are harder, so they are less likely to scratch, but that makes them more prone to break. Diamonds, for example, are the hardest material known; but they break/chip very easily. Our phones are like that, if there's a light impact on the wrong angle the screen will shatter easily.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blud7:
