[General Questions and Answers] 10k35h:
There is no official upgrade for your phone. You can try to google if someone has rooted and tried to upgrade to ICS. You might face issues if you root it and upgrade though.

Hit thanks if this helped!

I set all my sms/mms/notifications to nothing but "Display message on screen" because I'm using phonealarm which handles all the vibrating/alarms but every time I SR my device the settings go back to default, the only thing that stays is my Incoming Call setting. Does anybody else have this? Anyone know where the settings are in the registry? Maybe i can do an import on startup. I know that some settings are in HKCU\Control Panel\Sounds but these seem to be just for the ringing sounds and not the notification settings.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PW_Irvine:
The notification badge on my stock Messaging app icon is incorrectly showing 1 unread message.

I have a totally stock Droid RAZR MAXX HD running 4.4.2. My stock messaging app is version 4.4.2-10. SMS is set to "Messaging" (not "Hangouts"). All settings are default. Verizon Wireless is my service provider.

From my own troubleshooting, I have concluded that the problem is probably KitKat-related since stopping, disabling, and clearing (data, cache, and defaults) the stock messaging app has no effect. Also, this problem started after my OTA upgrade to KitKat (never had it before). Further, after completely disabling the stock messaging app, I alternatively installed GO SMS Pro, chomp SMS, and Verizon Messages and experienced the exact same problem with each.

Any ideas about how to fix this problem, without FDR'ing or rooting the phone, would be greatly appreciated.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncsuwolfs:
clear dalvik?

you try clearing dalvik cache?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PW_Irvine:
Great suggestion, but how do I perform it? Can you direct me to instructions on how to clear the Dalvik cache on a stock RAZR MAXX HD running KitKat? I can't find any that don't require a rooted phone. Thx much.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
i never have stock recovery on, so i could be wrong, but i dont think you can do that in stock recovery.

which means you would have to put on a custom one and root, which i think you said you didnt want to do.

it is somewhat common to have random issues like this on a major software upgrade, especially one that jumped so many other builds.

i know you really dont want to do it, but clearing the corrupted data is really the best course of action, and it may be the only one honestly.

and if you are going to go that far, it is really best to just re-flash the phone encase something in the system is corrupt. just no point in going 1/2 way just to find out you still have the issue later.

sorry thats not the answer you were looking for, but sometimes it is not avoidable.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baldbob:
Have the same problem - I find that if I delete a recent MMS message sent from me, then it goes back to normal.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bweN diorD:
nice suggestion :good: i have never heard of that.

thanks
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncsuwolfs:
yeah dont think its possible on a phone that isnt rooted or has a custom recovery, whats the reason you dont want to to root?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PW_Irvine:
Unfortunately, deleting all SMS and MMS messages did not solve the problem either, so I just FDR'ed the phone. Problem is gone on reboot of course, but so is 13 months worth of app configuration. I would root the phone this time except that the screen is also acting up on me and the phone still has 4 months left on the Costco warranty that I got (for free) with the phone. Wouldn't it be great if Android "L" allowed you to back up app settings along with apps without the need to root the phone first! Thx to all.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PW_Irvine:
Follow-up: same problem occurred following FDR. It is related to MMS messaging and it is solved by removing all MMS messages from phone. I did not have this problem with JB. It showed up after OTA upgrade to KK. Too bad for those who like to keep their MMS messages.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbamberg:
OK, I've checked all the "older threads" and none of them seem to have an answer, especially one that applies to the M8, so I'll ask again:

I understand that the earplug headset must be plugged in to act as the FM antenna, but rather than listen through the earphones, I'd like to use a Jawbone or other BT system to listen to the output.

Is anyone doing that already? Is there a special app I need?

Thanks for any help.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Opinion_Prime:
I've been out of the android scene for what seems like an eternity ( 2009 ). I recently changed jobs and I now am the proud owner of a Sprint Note 3. I am looking for help on deciding "where to go" from here, other than just rooting the phone

Suggestions on roms?

You can flash the radio now?

Tripping Knox worth it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Check out my XDA post on Debloating your device. Here is the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2770729 this will give some insight on what apps to remove/freeze, to speed up the phone and increase battery life.

---------- Post added at 01:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

Knox is an extra layer of containerized security between your phone and other devices for the transfer of data. That's the official definition, actually its written by the NSA for Samsung. Can you say SPYWARE? This info is right off the Samsung website.

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 AM ----------

I run 4.4.2 NC5, stock, rooted, with Philz custom recovery. I disabled and removed KNOX, and flashed Philz recovery ( which voided my warranty the second day I owned the device ). They are working on a way the reset KNOX warranty counter.

OK, if you root your phone with Towelroot it will NOT trip the KNOX warranty counter. Here is the link https://towelroot.com/ this will give you the ability to run certain apps like WiFi Tether Router that needs root.

Now, if you flash a custom recovery ( highly recommended and needed if want to flash other roms ) here is the link to PhilZ CWM recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 I would use hltespr version 6.12.9 .tar this is the latest Sprint version. This will definitely trip the KNOX warranty counter. But think about, did you root your phones in the past? I have, and Sprint never gave me a problem with the warranty.

The Note 3 is an awesome device !!! Enjoy !!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Srambo217:
I have a couple hardware issues with my device, the power button will trigger itself and awake my device or open a reboot menu out of nowhere and now no right speakers will work when using the headphone jack (earbuds, aux cables, etc.). I really don't want to trade it for a refurbished S3 with a locked bootloader but these issues might force me to. Should I just run this thing until the wheels fall off or take the replacement?

I'm also eligible for an upgrade but I don't think I'm ready to say goodbye to unlimited data just yet, plus I've been so out of the loop I have no idea what the current flagship devices are.

Thanks.

If this is the only phone (daily driver) then you should trade it in. You would rather have a stable locked bootloader and 4.4 is not bad at all.

Yes, 4.4 is rootable very easy and safe. Go here towelroot.com download the app to your phone, run the app, tab on the button, let your device reboot, then download Supersu from Playstore install it, and you're done.

I called, they said my device was out of warranty and I'd have to pay an insurance deductible of $100. I ordered a new jack/speaker peice off Amazon for $7 and got it in 2 days. Swapped it out in 5 minutes and it's working good as new.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wargear:
I've been using a note 10.1 with cm11 but want to upgrade to the 12.2 as the price drops. Touchwiz has so much overhead and lard built in I'd rather run an aosp ROM curiously even though it's been on the market now for almost a year why isn't there more custom ROMs avail?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrage23:
It came out in February so more like 5 months. The reason you do not see more roms or development is mostly the high cost of the device. Other than that why would you pay the high price for a device like this just to run CM and lose all of its best features.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
This basically nails it I think. While a Galaxy Note phone or smaller, cheaper note tablet is within a reasonable price range moving up beyond $500 is a bit of a stretch. Sure refurbished and used Wi-Fi versions of the pro can be had for less but that doesn't mean developers will come in droves.

In terms of difficulty of developing I doubt it differs from the 10.1 inch 2014 version.

I personally wouldn't want to run CM on this thing if it meant losing some of the s-pen integration like popup menus and pen window. Don't get me wrong, there's a lot I hate about touchwiz but there's some functionality for the notes that are critical IMO.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wargear:
Legitimate points all round.. However, many of us could care less about s-pen functionality and want a larger crisper display for streaming and things not related to notes etc..

I have an ATT i317 note 2 that is rooted and unlocked with stock ROM. Att is pushing an update to KK 4.4.2 via OTA.

Does anyone know what happens to my rooted phone if the OTA goes through? Does that "unroot" it?

Is it possible to "turn off" this OTA update and prevent it from coming through? I've heard that KK will screw up my apps ability to access my extSD.

Can I do some sort of backup of my current ROM and restore it after the OTA update?

The last time they pushed an OTA to 4.3, it re-locked my phone.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
It will unroot your phone but you can root it again and the sd card works fine if you flash a custom rom the ota will go away but since your rooted to do the update I would downgrade to 4.1.1 and do the ota without rooting to get to kitkat ill post a link In a sec on how to do it

You can't do that after the 4.4 ota something with the bootloader that it won't let you go back but you can do it before as many times as you want

Thanks terpin32. This really helped me. Sorry for my delayed response here...family dropped in.

If I just unroot it, will the OTA work? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] terpin32:
No at least I couldn't get it to I had to go back to 4.1.1 then just keep doing the otas til I hit to 4.4 but when you do the first ota it will freeze at the note 2 screen and will have to flash the mk6 bootloader and it will boot and then do the ota after that and you should be in 4.4 just follow that link exactly and you'll be good to go ive done to get to 4.4 so I know you can do it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] davidj92110:
So, when I get back to 4.1.1,..then there will be a series of OTA's working it up to 4.4?

The instructions look easy enough. I'll send my note 2 back to the future tomorrow. ;)

Thanks for all your help and your wisdom.

Now just remember after you do the 4.4 ota you can't do this method well you can flash the older firmwares but they won't boot even the 4.3 won't "for me anyways it won't" but I haven't tried doing it then flashing the newest bootloader but there is ways around this problem don't worry ill help ya if you get stuck again

do i need to flash new ROM? or is it possible to download and install correct apk. please help

thank you

I think anyshare is in playstore... you can install it, then odex it with an other app of your choice... the error must then disappeared but you may run on other errors like that if you have unistall other apps too.

Why don't you just flash a rom of your choice?

Hi all,

Just back from holiday and my new toy has arrived - an external aerial for the Exec...

Not sure if this has been covered before (I tried searching for 20 mins and didn't find anything) but after experimenting I have discovered the following:

The left hand aerial socket only works for GSM.

The right hand aerial socket only works for UTMS.

Guess I always wondered why there were 2 sockets!!!

G
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adamdon89:
Aerial sockets? Can we see some pics please?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pug:
I'd be interested in more info on this as well.

Do you know what type of connector it uses?

Any ideas on the reliability of the connections, they look as though they could be flimsy?

Have you tried to see if they improve the Wi-Fi signal at all?

And the ultimate question, what aerial is it that you bought?

Thanx in advance,

Pug.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jasonkruys:
I think you are mistaken!

One socket is for an external GSM antenna (2G and UMTS), the other socket is for an external WIFI antenna.

And are these avaiable off the shelf yet??

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gquipster:
Aerial I bought and more...

Well to answer the important question of what aerial I bought it was this one:

http://www.mobilephonecrazy.com/modeldetail/xda-exec,Signal_Enhancer.htm

I mainly bought it for the car - driving through Windsor Great Park the signal is a bit dubious at places so bought this to improve it.

I've actually downgraded the radio stack on the phone to 1.09 recently as 1.13 seemed to have problems with the UMTS signal - in places where everyone else was getting a good UMTS signal I was getting 0 to 1 bars at most - and it does seem better now, but the built-in aerial of the Exec doesn't seem very good at all - hopefully the successor will have a better antenna!

The above aerial I think is a fairly standard aerial but the important thing as far as we are concerned is that it came with a 50cm fly lead that has a socket for the aerial at one end and a plug that goes into the back of the Exec at the other - it came in a little plastic bag marked "SPV M5000" - I'm not an electronics expert I'm afraid so can't tell anyone the actual type of plug but I'll photograph it tonight if anyone is interested.

Right I have to drive to work - have a good day everyone!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xqizit:
Hi,

It looks like a great find. Can you comment on how good the aerial is? Does it really do a good job of increasing signal strength and if so by how much on average?

Does it give you a signal in places you didnt used to get a signal before?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] edeplano:
It would be great if you can post the results of your "discovery".

I have a really crap signal in my office and need to balance my phone on top of a lamp to get just 1 bar....

Also you might want to move this to the accessory board?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] edeplano:
Any chance on some feedback for this aerial?

I really want to sort my reception problem out and would like to know how your aerial performs before wasting money...

Thnks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gquipster:
I'd love to post some performance reviews of this aerial however some blaggard on Friday stole my car, laptop, phone and aerial so at the moment I'm kinda incommunicado :-(

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mavrik64:

Sorry about the uni

Dude sory to hear about the uni getting robbed. I also live in windsor so will keep an ear to the ground for anyone selling/getting rid of a uni.

But back to the thread.

I work in a second world war hangar with 3ft thick walls, so reception is nill.

After looking into wifi a little while back, I was making an external wifi antenna for my uni for use around home and work (very basic just a pice of wire and a wooden pole). When I plugged it in to my uni I found that the network signal (not the wifi) reception went up to 3 bars from nothing.

I have plugged the antenna in the wrong connector.

so after cocking up I have solved a problem with the signal but not the wifi.

All I used was a 10mtr pice of coax (50hm). A standard female uhf tv conector and this is the important bit, a 36mm copper rod from the centre of a power cable. Fit this in the uhf connector and point it upward like an aerial. connect the coax to the uhf connector.

Then on the other end strip the coax down to the centre core strands and snuggly slot them in the connection on the back of your uni.

Thats it!!!

Now i said it was basic!! but it does work despite the amount of cable.

If anyone would like photos I will take them toinight and try to pop them on my web site. But for now I can e-mail untill its up and running. gingerchristopher@hotmail.com

If anyone would like some of the coax (I get it from work) and are near the Windsor area, feel free to e-mail me and we can sort getting some to you. (free as we are all in the same boat here).

My next project will be a car mounted type. watch this space!!
