[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crsdr37:
That's crazy I don't even use 4 most months. Most I think was 7 and that's because of downloading some large files for work. I use Pandora, Facebook, XDA and YouTube everyday with no issues. Does he use google+ at all maybe he has it syncing photos over 4G? Why not just turn on the data restricter in settings so once he gets to a certain amount it cuts him off. He has to be unknowingly doing something maybe a 3rd party messenger app that uses data instead of mobile network
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BreatheALittle:
Thank you for the suggestions!! I will pass them along. :)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
That's a nucking futs amount of data. Does he torrent from his phone? I've accidentally left something seeding before.

Tethering which someone else is using?

Any apps from outside the store?

Iffn it was me I would consider a reset and then only add a few apps back at a time as he needs them while watching data usage.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catnamedog:
Hi

I understand that in order to seamlessly use the 32gb SD card I have in my Android dongle as "proper" storage, I need to root the dongle. Is this so? I'm also a bit baffled by the availability of a 32gb SD, yet "buffering" still happens. Can't the SD card be used as a buffer?

Upgraded to CM11 KitKat 4.4.4 and I am unable to update any apps because it fails to read the free storage and my SD card (sdcard1).

Does anyone have a fix for this issue yet?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
for now clear cache and dalvik cache, reboot or clear permissions then reboot

if those dont work search XDA am sure there is an answer for everything (sorry am too busy to do along search) but once i get CM11 on my phone then i can help you better
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Cynster:
Same problem on my Huawei Ascend P6

I've got the same problem on my Huawei Ascend P6. I installed a custom rom of CM11. I got root and TWRP installed.

I tried the following, and none worked:

Clear cache and dalvik cache.

Change default install location for apps via fastboot; 'adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2'.

Clearing cache of Google Play (and services).

Fully reinstalling the rom.

Formatting SD card.

Deleting the folder: /data/app-lib/

Moving apps to external storage via Link2SD (See screenshots).

Used some 'KitKat External SD Card Patch' app.

I'm running out of ideas. Is there a fix for this?

I would be very thanksfull. :angel:
[AT&T LG G3] rickaysen:
Not as tech savvy as most on this forum, so please excuse me if this is too basic. I have an AT&T model and understand that while LG baked in an FM radio and Qi charging, AT&T, in their typical way, disabled both. Would rooting my phone allow me to get back these functions? I really wanted the wireless charging cradle and disappointed it won't work with my phone. FM is nice, but less important. It would let me listen to music without data charges though. TIA
[AT&T LG G3] Pilz:
The only model that has the FM radio is the D855 European/International mode. As for the qi charging, this phone does not support it on the hardware level, however you can use power-mat via the quick-circle case from at&t. If you really want you can also remove the coil from the case and transplant it into your stock back cover to use wireless power-mat (PWA) wireless charging.

EDIT: I also put in a request to move this OP to the at&t G3 troubleshooting section.
[AT&T LG G3] rickaysen:
Thanks for the info. I was under the impression the FM radio was still there, just disabled. Not really interested in a power mat since I like to have my screen at an angle I can see while it's charging. The Qi cradle seemed ideal for that.

[Windows RT General] tonystuck:
I was picking up my surface rt last time for some bedtime surfing when ***WTF***!!! there was a prompt saying we've just applied rt 8.1 upgrade do you want to restart in 1/2/3...hrs?? really sleepy, i hit 5 and thought i'm going to handle this tomorrow.

next morning my tablet has already rebooted itself. darn it.

so starts my quest to downgrade. it is remarkable how scarce the resources are on the internet. all hail microsoft.

here's how i did it in case anyone is in the same predicament as i am. or until 8.1 jb comes out.

you will need:

1. usb drive with 4gb or more.

2. the rt 8 recovery image. get it from:

http://www.microsoft.com/surface/en...-recovery/surface-rt-startup-error-0xc000000d

The second one took a bit of hunting. All posts on the net seems to point to a page that has already moved on microsoft support. Okay enough *****ing. Follow these instructions carefully.

1. Backup your usb drive and format to **FAT32**.

2. **EXTRACT** the zip file you downloaded to the root of your usb drive. I had a hard time figuring out because nowhere on the microsoft support page did I see any mentioning that the zip file needs to be extracted.

3. attach the usb to your surface. Power down, hold the volume down (-) rocker while press and release the power button. Release the volume rocker when you see the surface logo.

4. choose language and keyboard.

5. ***DO NOT*** key in your recovery key. From the bitlocker screen, tap "skip this drive".

6. Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.

7. Choose ***Windows 8.1***. Yeah I know...

8. The next screen asks you whether to keep the existing partitions. I chose to reset all the partitions because I want a nice factory image. I reckon either choices are fine.

9. Choose reset and wait for the magic to work. Make yourself some coffee.

I still do not know how i got upgraded automatically. but just to be safe i hide updates kb2871389 and disabled the win8.1 upgrade nag screen:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\UpgradeNotification::UpgradeAvailable 1 > 0

ps/. finally nailed down the culprit: kb2973544. automatic upgrade to 8.1 ***without prompt***. is this even legal???

ps2/. if you don't want to upgrade to 8.1 too, uninstall and hide updates kb2885699 (nag screen), kb2871389 (nag screen and store). it seems that kb2973544 can't work without these 2 updates already installed.
[Windows RT General] domboy:
Thanks a bunch for this write-up! As I mentioned in the thread on KB2973544 I got luckier than you and won't have to downgrade. But I will be uninstalling and hiding the updates you've listed.
[Windows RT General] leo5111:
hmm i wonder if i can do this with my nokia 2520 but where would i get the image i would need?
[Windows RT General] tonystuck:
I thought 2520 comes with rt8.1 right? Then you are probably out of luck...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brooklynyte:
OK, here's an interesting problem... My phone can turn on fine, but once it's on the power button refuses to lock the screen. If I long press the power button, it acts normally by bringing up the power down / reboot menu. Not only this but somehow it is also linked to my wifi to get stuck on "Checking the quality of your wifi connection". The first time it happened, I took off my case, removed my s-pen and it suddenly worked again, and at the exact same time the wifi kicked right in as usual and all worked fine again. I assumed my case was putting pressure on the button yet the next time I restarted my phone (incidentally my case was already off) the same problem happened. Power button wouldn't lock screen but long press functioned fine, wifi stuck. I figured maybe my s-pen being taken out may somehow so something, trying to recreate the solution that worked the first time around, but it didn't work. About 10 seconds later I tried the lock button and it worked, and subsequently the wifi kicked in again. I haven't done a factory reset or tried a restore yet, I was hoping to avoid that if possible... just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas as to what could cause something so strange. I don't see any link between the power button and wifi functioning.

My phone is a T-Mobile Note 3, stock KK rom, stock kernel

rooted.

I appreciate any insight, advice, or opinions anyone may give me. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read about my issue!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vid200:
I did a hard reset, put everything back on, but I can not find or create a MMS account or folder.

Any Idea?

10x
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Blue Puma:
Ugh. That happened to me, and I did a hard reset to get it back....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vid200:
Funnyy thing is that I have had it before, but after hard reset there is non.

As I recall, when I first turned on device I had the same problem, but this is nonsense.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vid200:
Solution

Ok, With fit4cat twik I unlocked the extended rom , where the MMS*.cab file was, so I just run it and MMS here they come.

Just in case somebody needs it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
As I'm trying to get rid of the MMS folder without a hard reset, I'd be curious to know what you did to make it go away in the first place... any ideas?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vid200:
Can't say really, I think when I hard reset the device it did not install from extended rom, so mayne you can delete it from extended rom and then hard reset.

But save the file in case you will need it later.
[Verizon LG G3] emplox:
It seems as though everyone else can open the camera....touch the screen anywhere....and snap a picture. I don't know if my settings are weird or what's going on, but when i open my camera...i need to touch the screen to focus...then i have to actually press the shutter button at the bottom. How can i turn on touch to take a picture?
[Verizon LG G3] parapluie:
Have you tried doing it without the side menu open? You can only tap to shoot if the menu is hidden away and the screen is clear. Hopefully that helps!

I touched my tab with my wet hands a few hours ago and now it's crazy.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thisguy81:
So I flashed a Hex Edited HBoot screen and now my phone doesn't have a boot screen. It goes to the HTC w/ Powered by Android at the bottom screen. It stays on that screen for about 10 minutes then it is just on the Android homescreen. Not sure what to do from here. I have the HK Edition. Flashed back to the stock HBOOT and also reflashed ROM. Flashed a boot screen as well, and none of it fixed it. Any help would be great!

EDIT: About to RUU. Really hope that fixes it.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] mcwups1:
I wouldn't. If you did the firmware update with WiFi calling, flash the hboot version and wait for the updated hboot edits to come.

Check thoughtlesskyle's thread in Android Development. The newest stock version.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thisguy81:
So basically this happened because I am an idiot and flashed the wrong HBOOT file?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thisguy81:
Figured it out. Flashed OMJ's stock firmware and that fixed it. Thanks for the heads up about the RUU.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] jfcooley:
I did the same damn thing and planned on flashing the ruu after work. Can you link the exact file you flashed? I tried firmwares but none will work. Maybe I missed the omeyou used. I have a regular M8.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] thisguy81:
I wouldn't be comfortable linking the exact file w/o OMJ's permission. But the thread is here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2729173

Go to the bottom of the first post and pull the full firmware w/o the hboot removed. I think you have to change your CID as well. The instructions on how to do that is in the first post as well. Hope that helps.

EDIT: BTW I used the Fastboot flash method. Had to do it twice. Got an error about flushing the file the first time.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] krepta:
I can confirm that I had to SuperCID to do a modded hboot flash, otherwise the flash didn't actually happen.
[G3 Accessories] jaythaovadose:
I didn't see a earphones thread so I wanted to start the topic. In my opinion LG did great with the 1 watt back speaker but kinda dropped the ball with the earphone Jack. I feel like it could be louder or maybe it's the earphones I'm using. I'm using the monster DNA ear buds and I just wanted to see what other user recommend for this sweet device.
[G3 Accessories] czechu01:
Yeah, my HTC One's loudness was massive compare to G3's. And I'm using Sony MDR1-RNC headphones. The sound quality is ok but could be 2-3 steps more on the loudness scale.
[G3 Accessories] Jocelyn:
The sound quality seems pretty good with my VSonic GR07 MKII , but more quantity (volume) is needed to drive them. I'm sure everything will be great after root is acquired and audio mods are applied.
[G3 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
I use the Shure SE846 IEMs, so I have a lot of isolation going here which means the volume is MORE than adequate, even for hip hop and metal. What really amazes me is just how CLEAR the sound is. No Viper4Android and even Spotify's "high" setting sounds great. MAN this is an upgrade from the Nexus 5.
[G3 Accessories] mitchell4500:
Hey dude so do I hahah. Mitchell4500 from headfi. Just got a g3 yesterday!

Also I have to agree with you on the clarity, it's quite amazing. This and my 64gb micro sd means no more sansa
[G3 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
Ha HA! Howdy friendo. Yeah, this is a diesel device for audio.
[G3 Accessories] robertc88:
Volume through headphones depends on their sensitivity, does it not?

I have too many pairs of head/earphones to list. I just wait for good prices. I don't post over at Head but so many good recommendations there cost me much coin, lol!

I'm digging the sound quality no doubting that. Anyone know what DAC is in the G3?
[G3 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
It does, but raw output power is what it is and the G3's isn't nearly as much as the HTC M8, but honestly with a good pair that isolates well these have plenty of volume.

I used to have more than I have now, I'm keeping it simple because once you spend $1000 on headphones it's time to re-evaluate your life. :P

As for the DAC, I have no idea. There was a Wolfson DAC in the G2 but apparently not in the G3, but the tests I've seen on the G3 show that it's got the clearest audio output of any android device currently so who knows what's in there.
[G3 Accessories] Dubhar:
I just use the ones that came with the phone and there alright. I have used my K701's with the phone (directly) and i get a pretty decent sound out of it, loud enough though not super loud obviously.
[G3 Accessories] jaythaovadose:
Att version didn't come with any. I may have to commit a cardinal sin. Thinking about the Apple earpods. Smh sorry
[G3 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
I have a crazy-ass idea. Instead of getting an amazing device and using the terrible stock headphones, get GOOD ones.
[G3 Accessories] jaythaovadose:
That's the problem. They didn't come with any at all so I'm looking for a low priced pair to use. My next big electro purchase will be that moto 360 so I'm tying to save some coin u kno
[G3 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
So basically you're spending all this money on devices and then skimping out on the audio, ensuring that your expensive devices sound absolutely terrible when you actually use them for music. Good job.
[G3 Accessories] jaythaovadose:
Ok thanks for your help.
[G3 Accessories] sprintrjm:

Good to see someone has good taste in headphones.

I have the gr07's mk1

Great sound for the moolah
[G3 Accessories] AhsanU:
My main qualm with my old Z1 was the fact that it was way too low in terms of sound volume. The G3 is definitely louder, but not quite as loud as I want it.

There is a quick fix if you're rooted though, the thread can be found here.
[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
The LG quad beats are actually quite good fit stock headphones. They are much better than apples ear pods. I normal just use my Boise free style in ear ones because they are comfortable she have decent sound quality. I just hate how all headphones are made for apple and you can't use the volume toggles, but the center button works for Google now.
[G3 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
That is weird that more headphones don't come with android-capable controls. It's not like the company needs different controls for every model, and there are a LOT more Android phones out there.

So I've tried my SE846, my VModa M100, and my Final Audio Pandora, and yep. This phone sounds awesome. Every single time.

I am an avid Head-Fi'er and love the threads over there about the hype IEMs. They are always looking for the best budget IEMs that blow away others at many times their price. The VSonic line are always some of the best at this. The LG Quadbeats are very high on many of those guys list as well. They are rated very highly.

I personally use ADDIEMs (Apple Dual Driver In Ear Monitors). These are the $79 in ears & not the cheap earpods. They have Dual Balanced armature design. They isolate very well and response excellently to EQ. I am rooted and use Viper and can get them to sound better than IEMs costing many times their cost. I have used Shure 535s, UE900s and others costing well over $400. I kinda "got my priorities right" when I picked these up and started fooling around with Viper. I haven't looked back.

Another side benefit is they do not have the humming or hissing sound in the left ear.

It's a shame that the US models don't come with decent earbuds. Then again, it's more likely they'd come with cheap ones instead.

Personally I buy SOL Republic JAX. They look a little cheap, but they sound real nice for under $40. I just wish the volume controls worked with the G3, they don't. :( But I haven't found a better Android compatible alternative for a similar price yet.
[G3 Accessories] SomeGuyDude:
I wish they never came with earbuds. That way people would take a look and find a product worth a damn instead of settling. Make the device $15 cheaper, let people buy their own 'phones.

Considering JVC makes a lot of earbuds I think we'll need some more info before trying to pinpoint which ones you got, LOL.

Is there a model with Android compatible controls and an in-line mic? One thing I like about the SOL Jax, I can use them for calls also.

That and a flat cable really does prevent tangling. But I might rather have working volume controls...
