[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Den Den:
Flashed ADL using odin, somehow got the menu to work(couldnt budge for some reason to umts), went thru all the steps, it rebooted, put it back to download mode, and flashed it back to nb4. Put my simplemobile simcard in, still nothing, am I supposed to put a different sim card in like ATT or something for it to work? Confused why it didnt work, yet it still detects the MTC european version simcard(not in service, but it had a pin set on it, so it always asks you to unlock the sim with the sim pin u put on it to view ur files on it, etc). Am i doing something wrong? I could give you more info on the phone...

Edit: Just checked on Swappa.com of my imei and got this =/

Nvm, Looks like i think its blocked on Tmobiles network, but i put in the H2O sim and it worked.(under ATT) phew....

Hi,

I've been a happy user of a Qtek S100, but after 1½ week of normal usage, the phone has now started to crash at random intervals, spanning from 1 to 24 hours.

To my horror, the store where I bought the phone states that it is running i perfect order...

Any experience with stability problems (or any comments regarding my situation) would be greatly appreciated. I'm not happy with my choice right now!

bumpy-ty-bump

anyone ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DaniD:
whate means crash? The soft freezes, it cannot be started, can you receive calls when crashed? I have a problem with my spv m500, it seems that when is could outside (below 20 C, unfortunatly) it doesn't receives calls, and can be started only with soft reset.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ph0ton:
Hard Crash should be understood as the screen goes black, the led doesn't blink anymore, and sometimes I need to repress the powerbutton 3 or 4 times before it turns on again. It always happens when it is in my pocket, so I haven't seen the crash, only the aftereffects.

I have a theory now, that it may be the battery indicator reporting wrongly that the battery isn't inserted, while it actually is.

I bought it. Absolute waste of money imo.
[G3 Accessories] shook187:
Why you even started a thread and miss titled it without having the product? Really placeholder?
[G3 Accessories] bobbarker2:
Wtf type of BS thread is this?

---------- Post added at 01:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 PM ----------

I hot it for less than $1, haven't used it yet. Why do you say it's a waste of money?
[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
I second this, the fit is anything but good. There are rather large gaps around the screen which defeats the purpose of having a screen protector.
[G3 Accessories] IXChicharitoXI:
It has poor fitting(large gaps on the side). Pretty thick compare to other protectors. Are you sure you got the temper glass protector? I find it hard to believe you got it for $1. I paid $6 and it's a waste.

I paid $16 for a flexible glass protector by iloome. Now that's worth the money. Great fit.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
I have 0 gaps on mine, I think it's user error. If fits perfectly & I even have a case on mine. I purchased 10 of these for 10 different devices & good investment.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Actually I do have the product sir, the video was rendering. The audio was out of whack, so I need to re-upload it.

[G3 Accessories] avid.aria:
I have the spartan glass on the galaxy s5, and by far its the best one I've tried! I was planning to buy the same for the G3 but they are out of stock and then I see the negative reviews!

More to the point, the video actually shows the flaw everyone is talking about: Even though you have pushed the glass further from one side, the other side, still has a small gap! even ignoring that, the fact that you have left space on one side but the other side hasn't gone off the screen means the fit is not perfect. Don't get me wrong, it's still a great value but I can see where the complains are coming from.

Thank man for the video review nonetheless.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
I saw no issues with it & fits fine for me. But if worse comes to worse, I'll just contact them & get it replaced. Their CS is AMAZING!

The edges of the screen protector don't go over because the gap is very minimal when I attached it, if I would have removed it & put it on again I'm sure it would have fit fine.

I'm just glad you don't even notice it with a case on it & it doesn't lift at all.
[G3 Accessories] bobbarker2:
I don't know where all these rave reviews are coming from, maybe I got a bad unit from XtremeGuard. The glass protector is very thick, it feels sticky to the touch, it doesn't line up well and there's no cut out for the camera. If I hadn't ordered it a month ago for 90% off I would have sent it back. Now it will just sit collecting dust.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Contact them, they'll replace it free of charge for you!
[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
It can't be user error because if there are gaps its a manufacturing error not a user one. A user can't make the protector smaller.
[G3 Accessories] kthung:
Exactly. If you have room to push the screen protector over and it leaves a gap on one side then it doesn't fit. :eek:
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
All the protectors I've had that have the "gap" makes them case friendly. I prefer that myself, but to each their own I guess.

I have 0 complaints about the screen protectors :)
[G3 Accessories] Pilz:
I understand your point, my only issue is the size of that gap. On other screen protectors it's almost non-existent, but this one has a big gap in comparison.

[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Why don't you like it?
[G3 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Too small, abysmal adhesive.
[G3 Accessories] iazybandit:
The tempered glass is $50 retail. That's more than what Spigen charges for theirs ($30). Even at $5, I'm a bit hesitant. All these big name companies rarely offer 90%. At most they'll offer is 20% with coupon.

Makes you wonder how much it really costs Xtremeguard to make these and their profit. Sell for $50 retail but have discount for 90% off. Might as well just give it away for free.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Cost for almost all companies is around $7 depending on minimum quantity ordered, the more you order the lower the cost.

Most companies order from same few factories, the more they sell the faster they make a profit and can give good discounts.

For $5 I don't care how much it costs them, I like their products :)

[G3 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Have to send an image to them of my current protector (which isn't even on the phone anymore due to the abysmal quality) so I hope they see it's the old one and will send me the new (and improved? hard to make it any worse) version.

In the meantime also applied their protector on my Nexus 7 but took that of in a matter of seconds. Hard to believe but it's even worse than the G3 one.

So far extremely dissatisfied and a complete and utter waste of time and money.
[G3 Accessories] shook187:
I'm patiently waiting for mine which should be arriving early this week.. The OP clearly has an incentive to pump this product or maybe he just doesn't know what a quality screen protector is about.
[G3 Accessories] shook187:
Wow I just received and installed it.. What a bargain.. Crystal clear, perfect fit, rounded edges, no loss of touch sensitivity... A++
[G3 Accessories] dustinb17:
While the fit may not be perfect I have nothing but great things to say about their customer service. I'm not as picky as others I guess but overall I'm pleased with the covers I've received. Hard to complain about any glass screen protector when you pay $6 for it though.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
My incentive is a good deal, I have purchased screen protectors from them for years. I've never had issues with them, if a screen protector is cut wrong or has issues I just email them and they take care of the issue.

I don't get free stuff, I pay for all my screen protectors from them!
[G3 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
True that. They will resend me a glass protector for the G3 (hopefully the improved (?) version) and will credit the plastic Nexus 7 foil. Now that is nice :good:
[G3 Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Had mine in my pocket with my money clip and dammned if it didn't scratch the protector
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
There's a new sale going on :)
[G3 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
If price >= $0 I would skip it.

Using a Nillkin now, few dollars more, immensely better :good:
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
I have no issues with them :)
[G3 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:
Possible, however Nillkin clearly is superior. And also immensely cheap. No-brainer also.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
Superior in which ways?
[G3 Accessories] Pfeffernuss:

Good deal, I just bought one for me. When I receive it I tell my impressions...
[G3 Accessories] xjav01:
Can anyone that has recently purchased the tempered glass tell me if it has a specific cut out for the ear piece or one big cut out, I cannot find one that has the specific cut outs. Thank in advance!
[G3 Accessories] dustinb17:
The latest version of the protector is a cutout that goes from the right side of the earpiece to the left side of the camera and it's open to the top. Hope that makes sense

What browser do you use? What is your main browser? I use Chrome but it seems to be somewhat slow sometimes, and it also crashed.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] My Beer Belly:
For those same reasons I switched to Dolphin. With a few add-ons you can get all the functionality that Chrome offers between it's mobile and PC browsers without any slow down in performance.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M8)] PunishedSnake:
Chrome for obvious reasons but dolphin would eventually stop working so I always went back to chrome

I use the HTC browser. Works great for me. In the rare instance it acts up I'll use Chrome, but that's been rare for me.

Hey Guys,

Sorry for posting help question in the wrong section.. my chromecast hasn't received OTA update yet since last three months.. I am dying to use as cast my screen to the TV. The current firmware build is 15250 and country code- IN (India). :( Any possible to update ota quickly

Thanks in advance!

P.S - i don't have nexus devices. My device is Galaxy Grand running CM11 4.4.4
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
Try rebooting your Chromecast. They usually check for updates on reboot.

EDIT: If that doesn't work, try a factory reset of your Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] Parth2187:
Sir, I tried your method but that doesn't work... Can I flash latest stock chromecast firmware to my chromecast ? Is it worth to flash it?
[Google Chromecast] r3pwn:
If those two don't work, there is no other way to go about updating it. Try contacting Google and seeing if they have any suggestions.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
If you're using a VPN or DNS abstraction, try connecting Chromecast to plain "regular" Internet for a day or two and see if it updates. It should.
[Sony Xperia L] Emannxx:
Hi all,

I've been searching like crazy for the past week, looking for info on the bootloader/fastboot systems on the Xperia L.

I've read in lots of threads that the Xperia L's (and SP's as well) which cannot have their bootloader unlocked (Bootloader unlock: Not allowed) don't have the so-called "fastboot mode" which is accessed by pressing the volume up key and plugging the USB cable.

Now, my Xperia L, bought in Portugal, SIM-Locked to Vodafone, has this "BL unlock: Not allowed" - which means I cannot unlock it nor do I have access to the fastboot mode. The twist here is that it appears that I do have fastboot.

10 minutes ago I switched off my phone, pressed the vol-up key, plugged the cable and the phone wake up with the characteristic blue LED and my computer recognized a device being connected to it.

What I'm asking right now is - where do I stand? Is is possible to unlock my BL having access to the fastboot mode? Is there anything I can do to verify that I actually do have it?

I'm sort of desperate right now because I really want to flash custom ROMs on my L and all I see is closed doors due to this BL thingy. I've been told there are ways to mod a ROM in order for it to be flashed on locked BL (this info came from one FXP dev!) but I really don't see anything anywhere regarding it.

If anyone has any knowledge and/or can help me anyhow, please do so.

Thanks in advance! :)
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
have you tried unlocking the bootloader??

Why don't you use flashtool to give it a try
[Sony Xperia L] Emannxx:
If I try to, wont it brick my phone? I thought of doing it before but was sort-of afraid, because I didn't backup my TA partitions etc.
[Sony Xperia L] abhi007.john:
Though I haven't tried it, I don't think it will brick your phone.

You can first backup your TA Partition and then proceed.
[Sony Xperia L] TakuyaZ:
Unlocking bootloader can't even be done with a Non unlockable bootloader

And do try to flash a kernel, it should say not allowed

You never know; althought I find it hard to believe that Vodafone's "customer services" making a call to tech support would make that happen. I'm sure it isn't beyond the realms of possibility, and could well happen... it just seems unlikely.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkiieh:
I wasn't trying to look good haha, but I did call them I spoke for about 20 minutes explaining that a carrier locked device will not update until the carrier (in this case vodaphone) has give it the green light..

They where obviously undertrained and where either reading from pre made scripts on there computers or googling everything..

In the end the woman spoke to her floor manager and he said to me that he was sorry for the miscommunication and that I was correct..

He then went to say I will get someone to contact tech support as is their department that deal with this area of work and give them the heads up..

I don't know maybe I did push the boat out.. Or it was just a coincidence but I did make that call ;)

I ain't paying £24 a month for a phone that the carrier are too lazy to push updates out...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sometimes I dont:
Hello, I bought my Nexus 4 about a year ago and was always hesitant on trying to "root" it. I am completing new to this and have no idea what to do. The only thing I have come close to this sort of thing was jailbreaking an old iPhone. It was extremely straight forward, I download & install 'X' app. Reboot, app runs and I simply follow the instructions on screen (a series of button pressing). The Nexus 4 seems more complicated but with all the feedback, I'm really curious to see what can be done with a rooted android.

I've read through a few threads but I'm still unsure whether I've successfully completed each step properly. The mainly followed the "Ultimate Nexus 4 Root guide"

1. I installed the ADK onto my computer. (Have no touched the folder ever since)

2. Unlocked bootloader using the no-data-wipe method.

3. Done every step until the "install custom recovery"

It feels like most of the guides are a little outdated because I can't seem to fully follow each step. One example is when I was installing towelroot, the next step is supposed to reboot my device. However, the towelroot app itself indicated my device was succesfully rooted despite not having anything appear on my screen or my device restarting.

Basically, can anyone help/provide a step-by-step guide for a brainless monkey like myself? A video would be a lot better so I could pinpoint where my mistakes are exactly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
It's right that your phone is rooted now, with the latest version of Towelroot it's no longer necessary to reboot the device (afaik). If you want to have a step by step guide check out my guide on how to root the device without wiping data, you may find the link in the stickies ;)
