[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
If only you had followed all the warnings saying to never downgrade....

I'm sorry this happened to you, but let this be a lesson to all others: LISTEN!!! Don't attempt to downgrade! It is literally posted ALL OVER this forum. Don't do it unless you don't value your phone and/or you have plenty of cash lying around to buy another one.

Unfortunately, I don't have any suggestions for you EXCEPT to maybe try this:

But....that also appears to require QHSUSB_DLOAD to be working as well. At this point though, since your phone is useless, can't make it worse! Although I'll give the disclaimer anyways: DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Good Luck

You really need to do some research before attempting things. Moto X's bricking after downgrading is a well known issue. A search on downgrading would have warned you of this quickly.

Hopefully you can work it out. And hopefully this will remind others what can happen.

[Nexus 10 General] Harris2508:
I don't know if it is unique to my Nexus 10 but I've observed that it charges much faster if it is on (not turned off) during the charging process. I've verified this with the provided charger as well as with several others. All the chargers had at least 2.0 amp capacity. I use a Pogo cable normally but this is also the case with the micro USB socket.

This seems to be counter intuitive but it's certainly true with my Nexus 10. Currently it is running Android 4.4.4.

Nexus 10 has a 9,000mAh battery, while Nexus 7 (2013) has an almost 4,000mAh and Nexus 7 more or less 4,350mAh, that's why there's a big difference between the charging times.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftnoon2:
I'm new on the N 9005 and was badly surprised by the new Samsung politics with Fonts in Settings.

As owner of an oooold Note 1, a beautiful N 2, I saw, sadly, that the "progress" or "improvements" aren't no so glamorous as the N3 phone itself.

And one of these "improvements" are the impossibility of apply any of my dozens of fonts stored this years. They are "not compatible".

But, the worst is that Samsung provides an online link to..... Samsung Apps, to download new fonts. And I retrieve there some of my fonts that I've payed previously on Play Store, but with a price... That stinks.

OK. I found out "iFonts" on Play St, but that's not exactly what I want...

Is there some workaround, some app or tricky thing to install any "com.monotype.xxx" font, as I did on previous phones?

Thanks!

Can anyone suggest a good stable stock ROM with an over clock kernel for my unlocked version GS5?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cquinn:
Used fastboot to install 1.55.605.2 full firmware. Install seemed to go normally but at last command - fastboot reboot-bootloader - screen went blank and never came back.

OK. So I connect to computer then Power + vol up and I get a splash - release power and slide to vol down and I get HBOOT. So far so good.

Try - fastboot oem rebootRUU - and get "waiting for device". Fastboot does NOT show fastbootusb. So try going to recovery and I get a splash but no TWRP screen just a battery with a red triangle and red exclamation mark.

In the past few hours of trying to locate a solution for this problem I found "Red triangle means that no custom recovery is installed."

Well it WAS installed and working just fine. I have TWRP in my fastboot directory but the phone isn't being recognized so I can't reflash it.

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be ever so grateful

UPDATE - Took my original RUU (0P6BIMG_M8WHL_1.54.651.8_firmware.zip) renamed it to 0P6BIMG.zip and put it on my external sd card formatted to fat 32. Booted into HBOOT and got the following -

It sounded like your twrp recovery needs to be flashed again, as the red triangle is usually with a stock recovery. Re flash the twrp recovery. Are you using the newest 2.7.1.0 twrp recovery ? If not I"am adding a download link. I think it sounded like your recovery was messed up.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cquinn:
well after hours of repeatedly trying this and that I finally got fastboot usb to appear. I'm still not quite sure how I did it but no matter. I was able to flash twrp again and restore a nandroid.

I use a pc and the easiest way I've found in this situation to get to the bootloader I found because someone else posted how to do it (sorry I forgot who I learned it from). Make sure your system sounds are on. When you plug the phone into the computer you should hear a tone or sound of some sort. Then when you hold power / vol up you'll hear another sound. Keep holding power/vol up till you hear another sound. Then slide your finger to vol down and release the power button. For me that works every time. Not much you can accomplish without the bootloader so that's important.

Just a note to anyone who might find themselves in a similar situation. DON'T GIVE UP. It's understandable that you might be a little freaked out and impatient but just - don't give up. Keep searching the net for little scraps of things to try and eventually you'll get it back to normal.

You can download and install them. Tried it by myself and i'm stock, not rooted and no custom recovery installed!

All you have to do, is download what you want, install as normal apk (don't forget in settings-security to active 'unknown sources').

After you installed them, in the settings-display-front touch buttons-color you find them.

If the 'original' appear on homescreen, just deactivate 'transparent background'.

Sorry about my English.

Thanks for that. Yeah I've been trying to explain this is safe. Not a mod just normal apk's. I probably should have mentioned in the OP that you don't need root.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] varxtis:
This method is amazing! Thank you so much. IDK if you're very experienced/intouch with VoiP, but I after trying out the app you suggested I noticed an option to make a call. After trying it I realized it sends a signal to the phone to intiate a call. Which was awesome too, especially since I have my BT Headset always on. But then the snowball started rolling and then I though... wouldn't it be amazing to get rid of the phone all together. So I had a couple of questions. Can Data plans be activated on regular tabs like mine (Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-N5110) ordoes one has to have the 3g/4g model of tablet for it to have its own Data Plan? Next, assuming one could have a tablet with its on Dataplan... Are there any VoiP with reasonable monthly charges and reliable service that will allow calls/txt to not only other users of the same app (like skype to skype) but from app to landline etc?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
The WIFI only version GT-N5110 has no internal capabilities for data plans, The GT-N5100 and the GT-N5120 both have internal abilities for data plans.

One option for home use is a Verizon share hot spot that is a box for Internet only and requires a data plan. As for portability, you could get car DC to AC adapter that will allow you to use while driving. As long as Verizon towers are available. You would then need to use some Internet phone service that fits your budget and requirements. Knowing that Verizon is limiting data even though they are doubling their LTE data rate, makes me skeptical on how much you will be able to use monthly even though you have a fast connex.

That is as far as I am with such a question, there are other types of data plans and share devices, Sprint seems to be the best deal for getting what you want, but it will be a wee costly, and not all areas are Sprint friendly.

Now if you can get a great deal on family shared data, you can look into getting dual hot spot devices that will double your data rate when setting them up to be bridged, via a robust router... Home routers are limited to one connection to the internet, so looking for such a router will be in the $150.00+ range. Depending on the brand and model, you can have 1 to 4 data connex. That is if your budget allows for such an extravagant option. Portability will be limited to transferring one device from the bridged network when needed, thus allowing internet to be active at home.

As for skype... they do allow calls to land line... but I have tested Text Plus with my AT&T version in the UK. It works well for an app, and even gives you a real phone number for txting and calls. There is a charge for calls but depending on how much you talk, it may less expensive than $9.00 per month VOIP options with apps or hardware to plug in between your existing network.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] afblangley:
What you're considering is totally doable, but you don't have the right device. My previous device was a Verizon branded Tab 7.7 that I used as my primary phone via VoIP on their LTE network. Overall, it worked 80-85% as well as a cellphone. When I accidentally destroyed it, I replaced it with the N5100, which I have on a smartphone plan with AT&T.

In order to be a practical replacement for a cellphone, the tablet itself must have built in connectivity, otherwise you'd also have to carry around a hotspot device. Dealing with two devices, battery issues, etc. makes that impractical in comparison to just using a smartphone.

There are many VoIP options, and the cost range from free to expensive. It depends on your needs. Most allow calling and texting to anyone anywhere. I can't make specific suggestions without knowing more about your needs, but I'll describe the process. The first issue issue is the phone number and who has control of it. Do you have a number that you're attached to or are you ok with any assigned number. This influences the second issue, do you want an all in one integrated solution like Skype, or a modular solution, which allows more flexibility. Third, is this going to be used across multiple devices and what kind are they. Lastly, how robust/reliable does the setup need to be (ie. is it your primary phone or just something to play with).

I was initially attracted to using a tablet as a phone to save money. Tablets cost less than smartphones and data only plans are cheaper than smartphones plans. Then I quickly got addicted to the screen size. A tablet makes almost every task easier or more enjoyable compared to doing it on a regular size phone. But using a tablet as a phone did have drawbacks. The lack of an ear speaker meant always having a headset readily available (and charged) or using the speakerphone. Most VoIP apps drained the battery rather quickly. Call quality is highly dependent on network latency, no problem on WiFi, more of an issue when out and about.

I couldn't go back to using a regular phone as my primary device. I'm not saving any money by going this route, but for me it's worth the premium to have a tablet with built-in telephony capability on a smartphone plan. The N5100 is an awesome 8" smartphone.*
