[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiriddin:
In the past several people have reported problems when taking an OTA update with a rooted G-Pad. Rather than risk it, I have always done a completely clean update with a wipe of the device using the LG Tool Upgrade Recovery with my V500. Once that completes I re-root the device and continue on.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal Jun:
Even if you don't have a custom recovery installed? Because I saw that some people with root only updated their G Pads ota with no problems with only root removed afterwards! They may have lied however!

I think this ota update with root problem applies to most android phones, right?

Thanks for your help :)
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hugo-PT:
In my case, I have root on stock recovery, and always do the updates via OTA, without any problems, and without losing root after that!
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiriddin:
Excellent, it is good to hear that root without changing recovery could work when taking an OTA update. I was only quoting what I had read, not what I had personally experienced. If it were to fail I would assume you could always use the LG Tool and do an upgrade recovery to reimage the entire tablet.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
I did the latest OTA update (while drunk) and it updated fine and I still had root when I woke in a panic the next day wondering if I had soft bricked it.

A few months ago my g pad was root and I successful updated it to kitkat via ota update. But recently it showed up another update on the tablet and when I tried update it, it failed giving an error. I think if u are running kitkat and are rooted then ota update won't work.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fullmetal Jun:
Thanks for your feedback guys! The G Pad community is awesome! I'm happy I bought this excellent tablet with awesome specs! Nothing can beat its value for money and great design!

I rooted with towelroot and hope I receive future updates! Never thought towelroot would make rooting so easy as with my previous phones, had to do some steps while connected to pc.

I have the US Cellular variant of the S5(G900R4). Do i have any options for roms? I already have the phone rooted with towel root but it seems like there are no native or AOSP roms available for the US Cellular S5. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
I believe that USC is one of the carriers that lock their bootloaders. CDMA carriers are noteworthy for being very restrictive.

As a result you won't be able to use a custom ROM, kernel or recovery in a conventional fashion. You can probably use Safestrap to emulate a custom ROM. Look into the details of that. There should be a current Safestrap thread in the Verizon S5 forum. Verizon being another CDMA carrier that feels they need to lock their bootloaders.

USC

Yes I am aware of that but the question that was originally asked was pertaining to a US Cellular (the cell carrier) Samsung S5 (KLTEUSC) not just simply a united states version of a cell phone. Plus I think if the opposite was true the the correct response should be to ask what carrier and/or model they had.

Are there any touchwiz ROM's even across other variants....I'm using alliance build 2 right now
[Sprint LG G2] sirhc:
*YOU MUST BE ROOTED AND USING AN AOSP ROM*

CM11/PA/PAC-MAN/LIQUID SMOOTH will do the trick.

*Pop in a US Sim card (Tmobile, AT&T, H20, Family Mobile etc.)

*Open dialer app

*Dial *#*#4636#*#*

*Choose Phone Information

*Scroll down until you see the Network Type

*Click the box and choose GSM ONLY.!

And that's it folks. You will see the service bars appear after about 2-3 seconds. Set your apns if not already set and enjoy GSM carriers on your Sprint G2.!
[Sprint LG G2] rogconnect:
The easiest way.....just install any cloudyfa ROM with your SIM. You will get GSM network out of the box.

[Sprint LG G2] kevindontcare:
It really works!

I didn't think it'd work at first, because of all the other unlocking methods out there, like changing carrier files, unlock codes, T-Mobile ROMs, but I can happily say it works (: I tried it with an old Metro pcs sim I had. I got the "No service" signal because it isn't activated, but at least its detecting the sim card (: Thanks for the info! Oh, & I was using the CloudyG3 ROM version 1.2 & it still worked (:
[Sprint LG G2] ejlmd:
No LTE, since the needed bands are missing from the phone. But yes, 4G (HSPA+). Several weeks now on Cloudyfa G3 ROM v1.2. Pick "WCDMA preferred" in the mobile network settings, and choose the T-Mobile APN without LTE, although the LTE one seems to work OK as well. If you have any issues kick-starting the GSM radio you can download Radio Switcher from the Play Store.

The only issue is that some of the T-Mobile towers haven't yet been "refarmed" or "unlocked", so on this device in that case you would only get 2G data. For example at home I get HSPA+, but at work only Edge/2G. Hopefully that will change in the coming weeks to months as T-Mobile continues to upgrade its towers. The same issue applies to a Sprint iPhone 4S and Republic Wireless Moto X that I unlocked and am running on T-Mobile as well.

Guys I'm new to this rom update business, I mean I have done plenty of windows phones but none of the newer androids.

I have an LG G2 32GB Sprint (bad esn), purchased from ebay, but I'm in the UK.

Any idea of how to get it working with the UK?

Links and instructions would be most helpful

Thanks in advance :)
[Sprint LG G2] Sp_Ark:
U

Sorry cannot provide links I m on the go. First you need to check if you are on latest ota which is zvd. If you're on zvc root with latest iroot. If on zvd search the forum there is an apk which you just install to your phone and run it (called towelroot). It roots even without reboot. Then search the forum for ls980 permanent unlock and follow the guide. Just use any root explorer to copy the files, restart and you are unlocked but with no speed data icons on status bar. The other way, is after rooting, install autorec (search for it - it's tricky, you might brick). Autorec is needed to install custom recovery. Then just pick a rom from cloudifa (g3 port is great with no bugs). His roms are made for gsm and you will be already unlocked. If you prefer aosp based, only one that worked for me after changing some settings and restarting is Omni. Couldn't make carbon (discontinued), vanir and mahdi to work. They didn't even recognize that a sim was inserted. Before flashing a custom rom, make a full backup via custom recovery and make sure you get familiar with how you enter recovery and download mode with hardware key combination. Keep in mind there is always a chance to brick and then you will have to enter download mode and flash back to stock with lg tool. If you are confused ask any questions and I ll try to help when I get home on my pc. Did all above a week ago and ended with cloudifa g3 port and is working great so far (I'm in Greece).

Permanent SIM Unlock for LS980 (OTA, APN) JB 4.2.2, KK 4.4.2
[Sprint LG G2] MonsieurX:
Bought this phone on eBay few days ago and I started checking around about how to unlock it(though it'd be simple as any other phones, but I guess I was wrong). Found few threads talking about how to unlock it for US GSM carriers but barely find any information about using it in Canada.

Looking to root\use a custom rom and read that the CloudG3 rom will actually GSM unlock the phone,but will it work as well for Canada(will be used on Telus network)

Thanks.
[Sprint LG G2] sirhc:
As long as the band's are supported it should work.
[Sprint LG G2] sirhc:
There's a Rom on xda that converts the spring variant to the T-Mobile variant by flashing the Rom. It's basically a T-Mobile variant g2 cm11 Rom but with a Sprint boot.img and a few other Sprint files to make it boot. But if I'm not mistaken it has the T-Mobile radios in it. That should get you their full network experience.

Has anyone in the UK who got their phone from CPW which included the free case, got the case - if so is it the QI charging capable one

thanks
[G3 General] H_Mark:
Yes, and yes.

Sent from my LG G3
[G3 General] walkerx:
thanks I'm just waiting to hear from CPW as to what is happening as according to them I should have a case as the contract I took out included the case - but on the sales invoice it is not listed - they then said the store would get one shipped out to me, but then when speaking to a store manager in a local store I was told this would not happen and I won't get the case and was disputing everything I had been told by their CS staff. Says the cases were not included in any contracts until recently and would put something on my account to reflect I won't get a case.

mind you the store manager I spoke to was a bit off and didn't really have a clue about the cases - reckons that CPW are not selling them separately as there is a problem with them - and the case he wanted to sell me at £45 (which should be the Qi Case) he then said it's been reduced - when I asked if it was the correct case (Qi Charging) he was adamant it was until I pointed out the reason for the cheaper case is because it does not have the charging capabilities. He opened the case and then found out it wasn't the charging one and mentioned the bit about them not selling them because of a problem.

He asked me why I wanted the wireless charging one and then questioned whether or not I had a wireless charger and if I knew how to use it.

Overall for a store manager I thought he was a bit rude
[G3 General] Southern_yid:
The one I received from cpw is the one that clips over the back of the existing back plate, so not sure if it will still work with wireless charging or not.

Hello, I recently updated to TIZEN and I must say that I LOVE IT NOW!!!! Wayyyyyy more apps, clocks, features, customizations and and enhancements, plus it seems to be faster!! Android OS had Very little apps/clocks etc, so it got boring real fast, not much you could do with it, plus there were not going to be anymore updates or apps added so i figured i would go ahead and update to tizen.. Just wanted to share my experience if your thinking about upgrading or not..
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] flashred:
I am about to do this....

I unraveled my Rooted/Custom Recovery/null ROM'd Galaxy Gear today and went back to stock in preparation for this update. I was wondering how it is and have been looking for some related reviews, etc.

Good to know a little bit more about this before I take the leap.

Thanks.:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fortissimo:
So you need to revert to stock in order to do the update to Tizen? I still haven't decided yet. I need to read up what Tizen can or cannot do compared to Gear stock and then Null ROM; and working non Samsung phones as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] mjrshark:
I havent played with it as android OS , bought it and went direct to update to tizen , its watch not phone , it so tiny cant do alot , and Samsung Market got most of things i want.If its works alone without phone , you may need to do some tricks and roots for it , but phone always be with ya , play with phone and keep watch stock :)

didnt find anythin interesting to go android that beats Tizen for That gear
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] titi974:
No you don't, upgrading to tizen will erase EVERYTHING as it will also change the bootloader of the watch ;) You'll have to update from Odin while entering the watch in download mode, so again NO you don't need to revert :)

Hope this helps ;)

In the mean time check out the app Sprocket on xda http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-gear/themes-apps/app-sprocket-sms-mms-file-transfer-t2804294 . The Dev has been updating it and just dropped an update the other day, I also have an Alpha of the next release which should be any day which fixed some FC issues for me. Anyhow he has the notifications from the device showing up on the Gear and most of them are interactable like music apps and my remote app. Basically if it has functions and stay on your phone notification, then you can control them via Sprocket. Also on the next release he has the Whitelist so you can turn off unwanted notifications. Right now I have Google Now notifications on the gear. Plus you can transfer files and install any apps from your phone on the gear. And a full sms/mms function on the watch, but it's not very easy to type on the gear unless you have google now working offline or you tether to your phone.

I've lost substantial battery life - can't get through a full day now. Everything you mention is useless if it's sitting in the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lilstevie:
I would probably check out whether you have a faulty battery, the general consensis is battery life is better on tizen. My gear rarely saw more than a day of battery life on the stock kernel with android, but with tizen I frequently only use 30% per day.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] noellenchris:
I've also just moved back to Tizen and was getting not so good battery life. I followed someone's advice to reset the gear in recovery and it actually worked perfect. It's 200% better after doing that. I also reset in Tizen, then booted to recovery and it automatically resets. I did the recovery reset 2x though just to be sure. Anyhow good luck. And if you haven't done the reset in recovery please try that.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] hurdleman:
I also face some problems with battery life. But the problem appears not always. Sometimes it use 30% per day, but sometimes it discharges in couple our hours. Seems like some of the processes drains battery. Any ideas what?

Anything that may be using the camera or motion to wake would drain battery. Also I do frequently double tap and hold with 2 fingers to bring up the task manager and close all running apps just to be sure.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] andrebotha:
Good day. I have Gear 2 and is on Tizen and my battery life on the stock standard and standard watchfaces is 1.5 to 2 day. I have recently changed the watch face with a nice custom built one and then this change drained the battery within one day. Thus my conclusion, the fancier the stuff you load the more operating power it use and then it drains the battery. Also I had the Gear1 on Android. Android in my opinion use more battery life by meas of operating power.
[HTC Rezound] -touche-:
I got a new rezound 2 years ago and after a month it stopped working. I got 3 replacements, all did not work. Got a Galaxy Nexus instead. . Just got the HTC One M8 on my new contract. I was afraid to get another HTC, but it's been great!
[HTC Rezound] loonatik78:
I got the Rezound shortly after it came out and used the hell out of it for nearly 3 years until a partition got corrupted and it ceased charging, at which point I ante'd up for an M8. The M8 is far and away the best phone I've ever owned, but the Rezound faithfully held it's own all the way up through Android 4.4.4. The Rezound was my third HTC after the original Incredible and the Thunderbolt. The

Rezound was better than both of those by a wide margin. The Incredible simply devoured it's battery to the point I broke down and bought a massive extended battery. The Thunderbolt really did need that, too, but given that the Thunderbolt was a beast in every regard, I didn't think it needed to be even more heavy and unwieldy to haul about. After those two devices, the Rezound struck me as the phone HTC had been trying to build for years. That said, the M8 is truly a different kind of beast. Aside from being a physically gorgeous phone, it's extremely capable, too. It makes an SGS5 feel cheap and flimsy, and it's faster, too. Let me say that again.... The M8 is FASTER than an SGS5, bone stock device compared to bone stock device. Think about that for a second. A phone running HTC's 600 pound gorilla of a user interface called Sense 6.0 is actually faster than an SGS5. That is nothing short of amazing. I love the M8 because it runs Sense faster and smoother than the Rezound ran CM11 while overclocked to 1.72 GHz. If you would have said HTC would make a phone like that 3 or 4 years ago people would have laughed in your face.

I got my very first cell phone last Thanksgiving, a cheapy mediatek. Within a few weeks of having it, I stumbled across an article about rooting somewhere. To make a long story shorter, a week after that and ty to finding this forum + Kingo I had that cheapy China phone rooted lol(and it still sucked). A month after that I got nokia lumina 525, on x-mas, which was a notch better, but yet worse haha. I quickly learned that MS's play store just sucks. -.-

TYG soon after that a friend gave me their old phone. A very well taken care of, almost pristine mint Rezzie. I had greatly abused and put it thru hell while I learned what I can do to it + fell in love with it at the sametime. When my Rezzie isn't happy, believe me, it makes damn sure I realize it isn't. The past few months I believed it has been happy for the most part. Now finally and very belatedly I have begun to realize it never was happy since the day I got it till just the other day ROFL.

I found a new interesting app to try on it, \play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=artur.m3rv.myszka.speedupswap and 1 nano second later and ever since I swear my poor 5+yr old rezzie is now as fast or even faster + smoother than all my friend's great new phones are.

Plus the history here on this very forum + the story behind the making of them is in the least is interesting if not downright engrossing.

ATM, I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of my otw eBay order... a dead Rezzie lol. Seller said it won't do nothing, no boot, but it's LCD light lites when charged. It's been in a box since 2012/13 supposedly after 6ish months of light use. :drooling: As I'm typing this on my non-OCed S-on rezzie.

Yea you can call me a belated fan of them I suppose. I wish I could turn back time and was given a chance to change your bad experience. -sigh-
