Thnx for the quick reply.

I got it at an incredible price and it runs superbly.

Really happy and keeping it.

Antutu I got 15k scores whereas default HTC one mini is around 10k.

I just hope I can root it. Any recommendations ?
[HTC One Mini] engwee:
By the looks of it, it seems that you've bought a 2nd hand phone and most likely have a custom rom on it, just go and check it out in About - Software Information.
[HTC One Mini] xlr8me:
By the looks if it the software version is all legit for 4.2.2 jelly bean.

Not sure why update software is not visible though.

Phone runs brilliantly.

Very happy.

[HTC One Mini] AnGrY sCoTsMaN:
I explained why software update was not visible in my first reply
[HTC One Mini] xlr8me:
Yeah I went into the bootloader and it says S-off and locked.

So not sure what it all means but thanks for the replies.

Hey all,

been searching all day and just more confused! I am currently running X's 2.26 rom and am pleased. I want to set up push but not sure what I need . Direct push is in comm manager but it's greyed out. Question is if I flash with msfp off tmo's site, will this revert my rom back to tmo's rom or will I retain X's rom. R these just "add-ons" from tmo's site, or a complete rom?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] GldRush98:
Directpush is set up in the activesync app.... you don't need to go to tmo's rom unless you want to... in which case, it will over write all of your current rom.

[General Questions and Answers] Hesperian9x:
Greetings all and thanks for any help offered.

I come from the world of pcs. I have several android devices, however have never tried to dive into the deeper workings of them. I am used to the pc world where if you want to install a new operating system you go buy or down load it then you install in. Brand of pc did not matter nor did the model. So I guess I am having a hard time understanding the concept of hardware specific roms. Can't I just get a stock kit kat rom and install it, and if not why not.

on another note does a stock kit kat rom even exist? All I find are things like cyanogen mod, or clockwork mod. I assume that these are essentially someone taking kitkat and adding stuff to it to customize it and then naming it.

I am looking to make a kindle fire hd look and feel like a nexus 7 with nothing but android 4.2.2 (or what even the number sequence is for the lates version of kitkat).

Thanks again for your replies
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
Same question i also want to ask...... they say android is open source.....where can i find the original kitkat

...and can i flash it to my device or not.......why does every phone/tab model need specific rom version.....

I think ram and cpu are enough......what is the deference between all device....
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
Getting a new OS (in this case we call these OS's: ROMs) on android is a little similar to PC installation it just has a few things we have to get past. so if you know what Linux is (another OS its almost like OSX for macs) that's what android is built upon the only problem is is that we don't have Admin access or in other words, super user, rooting your Android device gives you root/admin/SuperUser Access so there are lots more things you can customize about your device in this case a New operating system. Clockworkmod is almost like booting into your Bios on a computer, its pretty much a fail-safe if we break something or want to install (our way of installing is called "Flashing") a mod or a new OS.

Now there are a few different types of ROMs its all the personal preference on what you want most roms are AOSP which is pretty much Stock android (Nexus phones/tablet look) with a few mods here and there. Cyanogenmod is one of the type of roms as well (most popular), its is basically pure android with a little here and there stuff that you wouldn't need to worry about and i would recommend if you do flash a new ROM on any device i would start with Cyanogenmod first if its available, it has the most work put into it and is stable for the most part. (not that other ROMs developers don't put hard work into their own ROMs but still Cyanogenmod is getting bigger and bigger) be advised that flashing a new rom deletes all of your data, its just what we have to do to make the rom install properly, if you bought kindle books you can still get the books back by downloading the kindle fire app on the play store when you do get a new ROM. WARNING: DO NOT Flash roms that are for other devices, it will brick your tablet making it unrecoverable.

Seeing that the kindle fire hd is a very popular tablet and does have a few kitkat roms. (Android 4.2.2 is Jelly bean, Android 4.1 - 4.3 is jelly bean as well, Android 4.4 is kitkat) so pretty much it looks like the kindle fire hd has a locked bootloader which can be a problem but seeing that there is custom roms it must have been unlocked. a locked bootloader pretty much means we cannot flash a new OS but we are still able to root it. so pretty much see herehttp://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hd (there are two kindle fire HD's 7" and a 8.9" which is yours?) ask in the Q&A where you can start, i imagine you would need to do this stuff in this order: Unlock bootloader, Root the tablet, install a custom recovery (like Clockworkmod or TWRP) Wipe Data/Factory reset, Wipe Cache (these two actions are done in your recovery) flash a new Rom.

If you have any other questions or i left something out please ask :D

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

Do you have a kindle fire HD as well? Android is sorta open source sure we can root it and install new OS's and other mods but Google allows OEMs can lock boot-loaders and cause awful lot of mess by not letting us developers do anything. You CANNOT flash a rom that is not for your device, it has to do with the other Devices Specs.

what do you mean here?
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
Sorry dude....... But I just want to say that on PCs I just need windows or Linux or any os image...... And I can install it on any brand cpu ram motherboard........ It doesn't depend on brand..... Then why they made android or phone devices like this.... I m not saying that they would have make android free but.. It should be installable on all devices with better confg than minimum requirement.... Thats all.
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
that a little harder to explain, from what i think its mostly because of the CPU drivers, these ROMs are non professional, anyone can make a rom but its a harder to make your own OS for a computer. i cant explain the most part of it for you but we just cant do it right now. you sure can port roms but it has to be from a similar device with almost every spec the same.
[General Questions and Answers] Killwish:
Thank you sir......
[General Questions and Answers] Hesperian9x:
I understand that the roms are not professional. That is why I asked for the "stock" kitkat as google released it. shouldn't the "stock google release work on any android device?? if not why not?? this is nothing like pc world ans mentioned above.

I have installed linux on pcs. It runs the installer and does its thing and a few minutes later you have a shiny new system to run. Why is this so different in the mobil environment since as you already mentioned android is essentially linux. None of this device specific ROM stuff makes any sense to me.
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
as for why Roms dont work on all devices and have to be made for specific only i cannot answer, i think it has to do with specs being so different, i think its the CPU that ruins it all because today there are so many different types of partitions for each kind of CPU given out, Rockchip, mediatek, samsung exynos, TI Omap, qualcomm there is quite a lot i cant list lol.

There sorta is a "Stock Google release" for some devices but that is only for Google play edition devices like a Samsung galaxy s4/HTC one M7/M8. if you bought a Non-Google play edition S4 or m7 you are able to install a official Google rom (different process not like flashing stuff in custom recovery's) please dont think that Just because Roms are non-professional does not mean that they are broken or dont work as good as stock material because Custom Roms most of the time get the bugs worked out and everyone is happy. i would recommend a custom rom over Stock kindle firmware, its very limited plus you dont have access to the google play store which has so much more stuff.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reva1ation:
Hi guys, does anyone know how to turn off knock on on the G3? Tried looking for it in gestures settings like in the G2 but can't seem to find it. The g3 keeps waking while in my pocket making it feels constantly warm. Anyone else experiencing this? I don't mind just using the button at the back to wake it. The placement for the button is quite comfortable actually.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rancur3p1c:
I'm sorry to hear this is a problem on the g3, I have this problem on the double tap to wake code on my Nexus 5 and so I just turned it off. I know for the galaxy 2, sorry g2, voice dictation, they released firmware fix for this I think
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20degrees:
Can you tell me how you did the wake code on the nexus 5?

And to the op, isn't there a setting in the screen gestures section of the phone to turn it off?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spewy1:
You can turn it off in the hidden system settings menu

Dial 3845#*855# to access it.

Sorry, could u let me know which setting exactly do I need to disable in that menu? Many thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spewy1:
It is the very last setting in the list, just scroll all the way down to the bottom.

If you have the Korean model replace the 855 with 400
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutley:
I turned this feature off as it will save battery life too as it needs to keep the screen driver awake happy using the back button.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reva1ation:

You need to scroll down there are more options below it's the very last one.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rancur3p1c:
we don't have that functionality by default, it's patched into custom kernels and eats 2-3% battery per hour (another reason I turn it off)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turt:
Just so you know, I had issues with Knock On unlocking my phone in my pocket so I turned it upside down and the issue is 100% gone !

I think it's due to the light sensor not being 100% in the dark then the taps on the lap unlocked the phone. When it's upside down the light sensor is kept in the dark :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reva1ation:
I just can't find that setting... Ive looked everywhere. My phone is rooted with towelroot. Is that the problem?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indurus:
Is it really the light sensor? I think the proximity sensor would make more sense in this case! Otherwise you wouldn't be able to use the knock on feature in the darkness...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spewy1:
Screen wakes in my pocket whichever way up I put it in and I don't want to have the screen face outwards. This is very annoying and didn't happen on my G2 - The screen is clearly very sensitive. I don't want to turn off knock on and I don't really like knock code.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indurus:
Same here. Upside up or Upside down makes no difference for me. Display from body away seems to be the only real solution...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reva1ation:
Looks like a few of u are experiencing the same problem. I have been facing the screen away from me as a solution but it feels so awkward when I m so used to have the screen face in. And I can't find the hidden settings to turn knock on off. They really hid very well I guess.

I have same problem with carrying the phone in pocket.

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/help/knock-keeping-g3-pocket-t2807465

I've disabled knock on and switch to knock on code. At least, if it wakes up it doesn't immediately go to a home screen and starts to launch random apps or move icons around.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rancur3p1c:
now that's a clever idea. using the light sensor
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaNaRkI:
I'm doubting that either the proximity nor light sensor is used for "backup." but for those having difficulties with the dial code or finding it in menu. Just get "Any Cut" from the market. You'll get access to all that menus features plus tons more.

In Any Cut: new shortcut > activity > knock on. Either brings you to the removed page of the settings app.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squasha:
I tried dialing that code and it just said Connection Error or Invalid Code.

I even tried changing the last numbers to 850 and 851 for different models.

I am super anxious to turn off this feature...

Any ideas?

This worked great for me too. Thanks for letting us know about AnyCut. Pretty cool app IMO.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chr0m3:
TY for the AnyCut suggestion, anyway ... after having disabled the knock the circle app still wakes up on knock (circle case). :confused: waiting for a patch I guess :rolleyes:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icon71:
If you disable Knock on via the hidden Service menu, then a much more serious Problem occured: serveral times a day, the Touchscreen doesn't respond at all, especially when wake up the phone from standby via the Hardware button. There is another threat here, with People having the same Problem.

So I really hope, LG is Fixing the knock on Problem quickly.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReggieSmith:
Had this same issue.. disabled the KnockOn feature (mostly to stop the battery drain it causes by keeping the screen "awake" all the time) but then I would have the unresponsive screen issue.

I believe LG knew this was an issue before they released this phone. It's the only reason I can see them putting this setting in the hidden menu. They are probably already working on the fix but didnt want to delay the launch.

Switched to the Knock Code for now and hope that is acceptable in the short term.

Question though, for those of you using the KnockCode, did you still DISABLE KnockOn? Or is that necessary for the KnockCode setting to work?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mathsmart:
Sometime because of that too when starting a sms I was not able to press any letter exept the numbers , I think its due to it since it wake up by itself in the pocket really annoying
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doublen1:
Pocket lock fixed this issue for me. Locks the phone automatically when in the pocket so no more pocket unlocks. The one caveat is that it will lock on you sometimes while you are using it, but that's a minor gripe.

Pocket unlock is fixed with version 10h which came out in the UK today and other countries in the last week or so.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icon71:
You had the issue before and can confirm this or did you only read the changelog of 10h and assume, this is meant by "knockcode optimisation"?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spewy1:
Yes, I had the issue before. And now it is fixed.

I also had it and it hasn't happened since the update.

It also happens on my M8 and Oneplus One but it never happened on any of my Nokia phones. All the phones carried in the same pocket(shirt)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turt:
Just installed 10h on my phone, still have the pocket issue with it.

It's interesting to note that it only happens with one of my pants, the other ones I have no issue with. Must be related to the fabric of my pants...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craPkit:
Hi,

I'm getting endless kernel wakelocks from ipc*_sensors.qcom.

On my G3, the hidden menu doesn't have any KnockON entry, so I disabled it using AnyCut. Although the feature is displayed as _disabled_ in both "KnockON" Activities, I can still wake the device by knocking.

I'm running the "3"-branded, rooted Stock Rom on model LG-855.

Does anyone know another workaround?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craPkit:
I found the reason myself: Even though KnockON was disabled, I was still using Knock Code to unlock. Now that I disabled the latter, I cannot wake the phone by knocking.

While playing with it, I found that the Knock Code can be triggered while the Screen is still off, in order to bypass the lock screen completely. Now that is _really_ awesome. It's kinda sad to see this feature go.

With everything disabled in standby (and Greenify enabled in Xposed) I'll re-evaluate system wake locks / battery life and post my results.

Can you turn off the locking knock mode on an LG3 with this? :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrey268:
To turn this feature off do the following:

- Open your dialer.

- *Type in for D855: 3845#*855# to open Hidden Menu.

- Go all the way down to Knock On/Off Setting and tap it.

- Turn the switch to Disable, you should see a toast message.

- Press the back button acoupple of times to return to your home schreen.

- Turn off your schreen, and double tap your schreen it should not turn on.

Worked for me: D855, on rom V20W-GLOBAL-COM

[LG G Pro 2] scpion:
Anyone experience the above before?? Mine disappeared somehow....

Edit: I did the changes many times to cfm this is happening to mine. Changing the edited build.prop back to 480 does not solve this. Only way is to use back the original build.prop.

I am sure nothing else is edited so it's quite strange this is happening.
[LG G Pro 2] scpion:
Did a hard reset didn't quite solve the problem. When the phone restarted with the sim, it defaulted to 4g. But once I enter the network selection menu, it jumped back to 3g again as there was no 4g selection available.
[LG G Pro 2] scpion:
I realize what is the problem. I was using the built in editor of root Explorer to change the lcd density in build.prop. When I make changes and reboot, the lte options in network settings will disappear. Using back the backup build.prop solves the issue.

Can anyone verify this?
[LG G Pro 2] Planet X:
Yes I can. I had the same issue after editing bulid.prop with editor from Root Explorer. The only way to edit your build.prop is to copy it to Downloads folder on storage and than copy it to your PC to edit it. After editing copy it back to Downloads folder and later with root explorer to /system folder and change permissions to rw-r-r. And reboot. That works everytime.
