[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elliander:
I have an unlocked Xperia Z2 tablet with ATT. The data plan works perfectly, and the tablet has its own phone number. The IMEI number is that of a phone and tablet so I have to pay a higher charge for the line and it supposedly has unlimited calls and messaging.

Here's the problem though. All of the apps that come with the device which could conceivably be used to send an SMS message or make a phone call are Verizon exclusive and require a contract with Verizon to use. I attempted to install message or phone apps, but the Google Play Store sees it as a tablet and not a phone and won't provide those and I'm unsure if any apk files would work around it. I don't need to be able to make phone calls, but I do need to be able to send text messages to the tablet and not to any other device. Simply spoofing the number isn't going to be enough. It has to have its own unique number. I know that the hardware is supposed to be capable of doing that, but I can't seem to get anything on it that will work.

What are my options? I know once I get it properly rooted I can delete those apps, but how do I get them replaced?

Also, something I'm curious about. The only 4G bands this is tablet gets on the AT&T network are H++. Why doesn't it go any higher for the latest high end tablet?

EDIT: I used this tool(I'm not allowed to link anything here, even though I was allowed to link in a previous post?) to download the APK for handcent and then moved it to the tablet and installed from there. It had no problem installing, but when it asked to be made default it got stuck in a loop trying to allow it. After I eventually selected to skip it said certain features won't be available until it is default. (I hated the whole default thing that was added in 4.4. On my phone it keeps me from using multiple messaging apps properly) and I was able to SUCCESSFULLY send a text! I checked the phone and it was send as an SMS message from the phone number of the tablet. I was also able to reply without any problems.

The only issue now is declaring the default messaging app, which I don't appear able to do. The Verizon message app is the default and probably locked itself as such. ugh. Anyone have any suggestions?

Oh, and it told me "Voice calling not supported" so I don't know if the tablet itself is incapable of making calls or if it's another bug introduced by Verizon.

One question which ROM are you using?

EDIT: oh I see B513, then I have another question will this also work on AOSP-based Custom ROMs like Paranoid Android? And is our phone then still getting so hot when playing these games?

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Mfsto:
Looks good! I'm going to test this right now :) I've noticed that using FolderMount for games with lots of data, boosts the FPS quite a bit! So I'll try to use your tweaks and I'll tell you how it does with and without FolderMount :cowboy:
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ikroll:
Thanks , i am waiting your results :)

I have changed somethings in thread :

- Added one more settings for more FPS

- Added some notes about settings , they are important for your games.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RICKROCKER:
I'm having problems with editing build.prop (changes doesn't save) I'm going to post my results as soon as I get over this problem.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ikroll:
You must use Root Explorer (Pro) and change R/W to R/O while editing build.prop :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RICKROCKER:
Yep I know. You cannot even open build.prop in text editor if not mounted as r/w. I can edit and save it but as soon as I open it again changes are gone.
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ikroll:
Copy your build.prop to your computer then change your build.prop on the computer.After that change it with your build.prop in your phone.It might work :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] RICKROCKER:
Tried that too, I'm getting error not enough space in system. I got that error when tried to paste and replace old build.prop (only difference between these build.prop files was powersaving true/false)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] blueIBI:
have you checked your file Explorer and set it to r/w in system?
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] ikroll:
Try without changing build.prop .I think it impress only 1~2 FPS because P7 has better hardware than P6 :)
[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] Mfsto:
Following the guide I modified Real Racing 3 and from about 11 FPS I gained 8/9 FPS. Because of the lower render resolution I preferred to only optimize the graphics a bit. From previous experiences I learned that using FolderMount to store big game's data, makes the game a lot faster gaining about 10/15 FPS...So with Real Racing 3+FolderMount (storing on a 32Gb class10 microSD)+GLtools (Look the pictures for settigns)+Seeder, I reached 37 FPS without compromising graphics...

try holding down the power button and the volume up button at the same time. The tablet then goes into recovery mode and it will give you a list of options to choose from. Use the volume up and down to toggle from each choice and then use the power button to confirm.

Does anyone know if the Hermes dialer will work on the Wizard?

I have the Cingular 8125 version, and absolutley hate the defult dialer - buttons too small, etc...

I have tried the zombienexus, eten and d9 dialers, but while the skins are great and look nice, I just want a default blue plain jane dialer...

Here are the dialers I am talking about for the Hermes:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Dialers

Also - does anyone know if the Hermes default Comm Manage will work also?

The Comm Manager is the worst looking piece of default software on the Wizard, and I would like to change it if possible...

I have searched the Wikia and forums, but no luck...

I know no one has skinned it, since the files have to be signed, and it seems there are pieces of it in the registry that no one has figured out yet...

If the Hermes Comm Manager won't work - does anyone know of a way to get another comm manager type program and install it? (then I could re-assign the Comm Manager hardware button to that program)

Thanks

Maybe no one knows...

What about using the Hermes default Comm Manager on the Wizard?

Does anyone know of a screnshot of the Hermes Comm Manager - does it look the same as the Wizard one?

Anyone wanna try to answer the original post? Or point me in a different direction?

Thanks

Hello,

I have a question for anyone into designing Android Concept Phones. I have an upcoming meeting with some exec's at a OEM I can not release the name due to being under a NDA. I need someone to come up with a design off of what i have as far as idea(s),some rough specs and another older concept I have. The design can be branded by you just have my name at the bottom of the image/design. There is a 90% possibility that the phone will be going in to production. What I can say about the phone is if it goes into production it will be a GPE device. The OEM will be filing all the certification with google. Please reply and I will get in touch with my email in private.

[MX Player] bleu8888:
MX Player uses external ffmpeg library instead of MediaPlayer java object for video playback depending on user settings.

If a player is designed to use only MediaPlayer, it would be hard to make a workaround.

Check menu > settings > decoder > h/w+ decoder (network) and s/w decoder (network) to enforce ffmpeg for any video streaming.

Wait, people have actually gotten this to work on a Verizon G3? Because I haven't. I add one app to the list and reboot, but the list of MW apps doesn't change.

Meanwhile, changing build.prop to enable all apps works perfectly, but navigating that list is a pain.
[Verizon LG G3] Threetailsdeep:
I got it to work perfectly. I picked the apps I wanted rebooted and they all work.
[Verizon LG G3] jdellingson7:
I edited the build prop and ended up soft bricking. Can I ask you what you used to edited it? I couldn't get Root explorer to do it so I pulled the build prop and edited it with Notepad++. I kind of like the list deal since I really don't want every app that I have available in multi-window.
[Verizon LG G3] gotroot801:
Ugh, this is maddening! I do the same and absolutely nothing changes. You're rebooting immediately after tapping "Apply", right?

I wish someone would publicize the manual method of doing this. I really don't mind mucking around in filespace.

ROM Toolbox has a foolproof build.prop editor. Which is good, because I could screw it up easily.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_canadian:
Hi guys,

I have an LG G2 from Bell Canada (D803) and I'm currently in China. I bought a 4G data plan from China Mobile which uses TD-LTE. I can sort of understand why I can't connect to the 4G network (is it because the G2 doesn't support TD-LTE??), but I can't understand why I don't even get 3G service. It's EDGE only currently.

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I've spent the last 2 days trying to figure it out by myself but I'm not getting anywhere.

[EDIT] 4G data plan as in a phone number/data plan microsim (not the WiFi hotspots).
[Asus Padfone X and S] DJBensch:
Hey guys,

I just got the Padfone Friday, and I seem to have an issue with the stock launcher.

Everyone once in awhile when I dock the phone, the tablet will flash between some screens, and I can't do anything. So I pull the phone out, and it tells me that the systemui has crashed.

I have root via towelroot, and I froze some apps, so I did a factory reset earlier in case it was from something I did. But this is still happening sometimes.

Is this a common issues, or is there something I could be doing wrong?
[Asus Padfone X and S] whyjaybee:
Have you found a fix yet? I have the same exact problem. I have the same symptoms you do. I can't put my tablet to sleep because it won't turn back on. I have to take the phone out and put it back in but then it glitches and seems like the systemui isn't working right.

Got the phone a couple weeks ago. Worked fine until recently. I haven't done anything abnormal. I did change my wallpaper on the tablet (I saw on another forum that someone thought this was the problem) but my problem didn't arise until a few days later.
[Asus Padfone X and S] DJBensch:
I did a factory reset, and didn't change the background on the PadStation, that seems to be doing the trick.
[Asus Padfone X and S] cbass:
Try disabling the lock screen. Mine would get whacky when putting the phone in the station, bouncing screens and/or telling me systemui had crashed until I disabled the swipe security on the lock screen.
[Asus Padfone X and S] osifervic:
.. .. another thing to watch out for is that some widgets don't play nice with this device. I had a weather radar widget on my phone and it worked well. When I would dock it in the padfone station I would get multiple crashes. Android would crash, Asus system ui would crash and tablet would freeze up.

Removing the weather widget from the phone home screen solved the issue.

Hope this helps
[Asus Padfone X and S] treojoew:
Well, that sucks. As far as i can tell it is the lock screen that is the problem. SLIDE lock was the culprit in my setup. I tried setting it a couple of different ways on the handset and also tried setting it from the station. The result was always the same; the station screen would blink on and off with the default text that instructs you to touch and hold the screen to change the wallpaper. When taking the phone out there is a message about the system ui not responding.

I assume this will be fixed via an update soon.
[Asus Padfone X and S] Makivante:
I was plagued with this problem of system ui crashing non stop when using tablet with a lock screen.

The solution I found was to update my Asus Launcher to 1.4.0.150213 and I havent had the problem anymore.

how did you update the launcher?
[Asus Padfone X and S] Makivante:

I had to use the Aptoide app marketplace to get the needed APK. (they have all the updated Asus apps for some reason)

Worked perfectly and now I have everything updated and running smoothly with the new features.

So this isn't really a problem but it's just weird, I flashed cm11 on my T-Mobile note3 but then I went back to stock with Odin but when I called someone I noticed I didn't get the HD voice like I usually did when calling that person, so thought to to turn on the aws wideband that was required for HD voice/VoLTE with pimpmyrom I since it may have been disabled, sure enough it was and I turned it on and HD voice works again but I want to know why it got turned off in the first place is it because I'd previously flashed cm11 or what's the reason?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RatePC:
Ok, so this was my first attempt at trying to root and flash a device, and somewhere along the way, I screwed up. I installed TWRP on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi only tablet (GT-P7510 32GB) via Odin, and rooted the device with the SuperUser and everything was gravy. Then, I tried to flash CM onto the device, and something went wrong. Bad install file or something along those lines.

OK, I'll just wipe it off and try again, went into TWRP "Wipe", and did all of the wipes. Which is where I went wrong. I did ALL of the wipes. So now the only thing still on the tablet is TWRP. Luckily I can still boot into that, but that's it.

So, this is where the real problem comes in. I need to be able to load the ZIP onto the device root so I can use TWRP to install it, but for the life of me I cannot get my Windows 7 Laptop to recognize the device. I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the Samsung drivers at least 4 times, being extra patient to reset both the computer and tablet after each attempt, i've tried turning the computer on with it already plugged in, i've tried waiting to plug it in until after the computer is fully booted, everything.

The USB port on the computer recognizes other USB flash drives just fine, i'm using the OEM cable, and everything worked fine to connect the tablet with Odin before I did that wipe, so we can rule out the cable being bad.

I've been reading a lot of forum posts both on XDA and elsewhere and I've seen people talking about needing to uncheck the USB debugging in Settings, but obviously I can't get there, because there's no OS. This must have been unchecked before the wipe though, because it connected fine then.

Help :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RatePC:
Interesting addendum.

I actually CAN access the device with Odin. It will allow me to reflash the TWRP .tar file onto the device. Not sure if that's helpful at all though.
