[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Binah:
Hello fellow androidians

I am here because I desperately need to play Baldurs Gate on my Note 8 but Kies won't update my device - as far as I can understand, the Italian model is not exactly looked after and it's still running 4.1.2. So I won't be able to move stuff to the sd card for a while.

I have a few questions regarding this issue:

Can I safely root it?

And if I root it I can still use the base android or am I to flash a custom rom?

I would like to keep S Note which I use a lot, so any suggestion here is highly appreciated.

Will rooting mean loosing all the stuff I have in my galleries or will it be possible to root without a backup?

After years of Android use I collected a lot of memorabilia, which position and time of download is very precious to me. Call me ocd and you won't be wrong.

In case I will go for the root, will the tips provided here work on my model baseband version N5100XXBMC8?

I would be much happier if I had the possibility of updating to kit kat straight away, but this seems unlikely :(

How silly of me thinking Italian carriers would update my little treasure!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] User_99:
Normally you will not loose any data when you root your device. Base will not change. No need to flash a Custom Rom. So root your origunal 4.1.2 and finished.

Hi all. I can't connect to the APs at my work in my building. It is using 5Ghz

The video in this link shows my issue exactly.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...uble-connecting-to-5-ghz-wi-fi-access-points/

We have APs in another building with the same SSID, login and password and I can connect to that fine. My iPad and iPhone also connect to both APs fine.

A friend of mine has the same issue with his AP at home using CM11S, but he was on Color OS before and didn't have the issue.

I was hoping yesterday's updates would fix it but it hasn't :(

I've raised a case with IT support at my work, but I'm not hopeful they will fix it if I'm the only person it's affecting.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadarr:
I have same problem.

For 15 days everything was fine, no connection problems, no signal drops or disconnecting. But few days ago I can't connect anymore.

I didn't change Wifi setup or mobile setup.

Still waiting for solution.

I even thinking about re flashing Color OS, then flashing back to my Slim Rom...

Check you 'Region' in WIFI settings
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zadarr:
Update: Last few days i tried everting. WiFi Region settings, different kernels, different Roms, Color OS included. Nothing helps. Yesterday I have to install two WiFi security cameras on the same AP. Both cameras has same problem like my One. That was interesting discovery, because I was sure I am only one with connection problem. I made AP factory reset, problem solved... Both cams and my One now are connected...

So you gave your kid your old phone and would like to play a head to head game together?

But the phone is not activated (so no data) and you are in the car (so no wifi).

Bluetooth becomes your only option.

But since I haven’t been able to find much yet (including searches here on xda), I’ll post what I have found and hope that you can post what you’ve found.

*Let's keep wifi games for a different thread; this is just for Bluetooth (or any other means of direct communication with 2 non-activated phones).

And for any parents, this also allows brother and sister to play against each other.

That way they can fight with their phones, not with their fists! ☺

-Slot car racing (my favorite so far) *it has a 3d in car-view that is great!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobialia.slot

It also has a build your own track option.

-Umz mini Games (my daughter likes the balloon pop one)

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.umzgames.umg&hl=en

-Bluetooth games (these are poor quality but do provide competition)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Themes and Apps] unvaluablespace:
cool. wonder if theres a tweak out there or if someone could make a mod of sorts to have Bluetooth emulate wifi for wireless play like this? would enable more games id think. probably much easier said than done though.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Themes and Apps] Mortitheon:
There's also POU. Various PvP games playable via bluetooth.

Umz Mini Games - THANKS

:D WoW ! I'm really glad you liked the games and HAPPY to have made the list :good: That's Great. Really Great.

Well there will be a major update coming near the end of this month, give or take so I hope you keep it and continue to enjoy!

:laugh::victory::highfive: It's so great seeing things like this!!

Thank you very much!

I'd recommend Blobby Volleyball - very popular.

Pou is also a very good one, already been recommended.

That's awesome. Please post here when the update is available!

UPDATE Out!

:D OK I've just posted the update to the market, it should be available now.

I've made major changes to the UI and game engine so I had to remove alot to rebuild.

Give me your opinion and let me know what you want to see back in the game, or new in the game for the next update in 2 ish months :good:

Does Galaxy Note Pro LTE version have Gorilla Glass? I was trying to find info on this but found lots of contradiction.

According to Corning Gorilla Glass site the Note Pro does have one, but i do not see it under spec on Samsung site and the tablet is surprisingly light.

Does anyone have details?

Thanks:cyclops:

Has anyone noticed how slow the g3 charges without the oem cable.. If so what did you buy for a spare for fast charging. I need 1 for work and for my cars. Ty Matt
[Sprint LG G3] cervantesmx:
Some cables just suck. I haven't even used my OEM cable, it's still in the box. My wife has a G3 as well and she uses it. My two non OEM charge our phones just as fast as the OEM.

Try a different cable, that's my recommendation.
[Sprint LG G3] matt406regal:
I wish mine did
[Sprint LG G3] Triram123:
Did you check the output rate on your chargers Man? :)
[Sprint LG G3] matt406regal:
Yea i have one at work that's a 2.1a from my old galaxy tab 10.1
[Sprint LG G3] Killa357:
What kind of cable were you using? You could have the best charger in the world but if you are using a weak cable with thin wiring it will not charge quickly. The G3 charges very quickly with OEM cables and with OEM Samsung cables.
[Sprint LG G3] matt406regal:
I also have a Samsung cable and htc cable with the same results. Fast charging for me only with the oem cable and charger
[Sprint LG G3] NeoMatrixJR:
I had issues with this too, but I've had a lot of cables go bad on me recently for some reason. Galaxy S3's stopped charging on sammy OEM cables too. Eventually I think they just wear out. The LG OEM seems like a nice heavy duty cable. Go to banggood or dx.com or something and pick up one of those USB Charge Testers. They show Voltage and Amperage. I have a LOOONG, cheap USB cable that I bought from one of those sites. It showed it was only outputting 0.23A. My phone was dead on the charger the next morning. OEM cable puts out almost 1.5A or a bit more on my sammy & LG chargers. I have a sammy cable that was showing 0A. Dead cable. Buy one...great way to tell if a cable's bad or the whole charger and they're cheap. Someone recommended the monoprice cables with the ferrite cores (not the 'premium' ones). Have yet to order any.
[Sprint LG G3] durandetto:
I use my Samsung galaxy chargers for all of my devices. They have the highest charging rate and the longest cables plus the cable comes out at a 90 degree angle for lower clearance.

Lost one once and found an oem one on eBay for $10.
[Sprint LG G3] BioAndriod:
I noticed that my phone charges slow when I don't use the usb cable that with. Specially when I'm using a traveler charger
[Sprint LG G3] gorillaz1:
It's funny, my best charging cables are the ones that came with the 2012 Nexus 7 tablets. I was really sad when one of them started to fall apart.

But finding good cables is the absolute worst.

Anyone know what the instore price is for a "25 pm tarrif?

I called O2 today and to upgrade my exec on a £25 tarrif they wanted £259 pounds. Nearly fell off my chair laughing, PAC code on its way to me hello vodaphone
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] tomcoleman:
i just upgraded to 02 orbit for free!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] wertert:
I just upgraded to o2 200 £30.00 / month ( same as I've been on for ages ) - phone cost £99.99.

I think if i'd gone for £35.00 / month the cost drops to £49.99
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jstubbings:
Best deal on t-mobile (who needs wifi)

I went for an MDA Compact III (I dont use wi-fi).... I got it on 18month contract UFIX for £15 a month (this is the UFIX) then £7 a month bolt on for web and walk (unlimited connection).... The t-mobile web site is in fact more expensive than the shops... I went into my local t-mobile shop and picked up two with my girlfriend... the guy said they usually would be £40 for the phone but we could have them for £20 each... so a 18 month contract for 22.00 a month and £20 for the phone which we both thought was an excellent deal!... the boxes were unsealed (but) the phones were intact and not touched just shown to customers... there is quite a few t-mobile shops with ones opened and you can get a good deal on these handsets, I did go to another t-mobile shop before hand but the Artemis looked like it had been dropped so I didnt touch it !....
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ezman:
free of charge at o2 shop - i am on £30 per month tariff but had my qtek s100 since june last year.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vo1968:
i got mine 49.48 on T-Mobile Flext web 'n' walk 22.50 a month for the full 18 month contract. was on T-Mobile website for 79.99!! So better deal on the High Street.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] wth:
Thank you, so basically they were trying to rip me off :-(

Shame the t-mobile version doesn't have wifi as I do use it quite a bit with my xda exec

Will try a local store next and see if they give me a more realistic offer, I think my problem was I don't normally go over my minutes so O2 are probably not that bothered if I move.

Ta
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ezman:
just to say it seems some shops have been getting the price confused on this handset, when I phoned the store (to see if they had any cheap microsd cards) the day after....they said they gave me the phone free by accident as the pricing hadn't been sorted with them by o2. Reckon they had to pay upgrade charges for me :) thanks o2:p
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Pete.:
I phoned up for a PAC code and they upgraded mine for free £35 tariff.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
I tried O2 earlier today, the local shop didn't have any Orbit's in stock, they wouldn't offer any decent sim only tariffs to use GPRS so I decided to move elsewhere (T-Mobile Web and Walk).

O2 wouldn't issue a code over the phone to move networks - I have to wait for a text message, T-Mobile account and device is set-up, just waiting to port the number across.

I can live without the WiFi to be honest, if I need it I will use one of my other toys, both my main phones (Artemis and MDA-III) still feel lighter in the pocket than carrying around either the Exec or IIs both of which are bricks using extended batteries.

Ten years plus with O2 - goodbye, you really need to address the mobile internet costs, your tariff is beyond a joke - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] JC#79:
O2 are not selling the Orbit sim free as it is there "baby" and will only be released with a contract for now.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] rosco1011:
on my £20 contract o2 UK told me that i did not spend enough to justify a cheaper upgrade - the £200 was too much for me, considering they would have given me £100 to stay with my old imate jam (so £300 upgrade then).

so i cancelled, in writing. would have gone with o2 online.

i just received a text giving me a finishing date when someone from o2 called asking why i was quitting. he offered me a great deal:

100mins 400text £15/month and £100 for the orbit.

chuffed!

moral: i don't think o2 are so prepared to offer better deals if you just threaten to quit with them - but maybe if you get more serious....
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Well I left O2, and when contacted the chap was most reasonable when I explained the reason for leaving was due to the high cost of the GPRS usage. He inquired which provider I was switching to - when I mentioned the Web n Walk contract he said little more, my mind was made up prior to the call.

No offer they could make would come close, there again it all depends how you use the device, at between 15 to 25MB per day when mobile I had to address the cost of GPRS - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jdoherty76:
Can anyone tell me if the T-Mobile version of the O2 Orbit has Wi-FI I seen from an earlier post that this may not be the case. But I am not sure this is correct? thanks Jd76.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] meschle:
Hi jd76 - it has not i am afraid - why they have done that seems madness but there you go :confused:
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
The T-Mobile MDA Compact-III as it is known does NOT have WiFi when supplied in the UK, certain other European versions of the T-Mobile MDA-C-III do have WiFi, so I guess its rip of Britain time again! that said the device is very good and combined with the GPRS Web & Walk you have internet where ever and when ever you like (its just a bit slow) - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jdoherty76:
Thanks Meschle & Mikealder but I would prefer Wi-Fi built in so looks like O2 when time for upgrading...thanks..

O2 Best Deals

I went into the Watford store in the UK and said that I had my pac code with me from Vodafone and immediately got a free XDA Orbit (which comes unlocked) on a 12 mnth tariff for £35 a month (400 mins, 100 txt), and after 6 months I can lower my tariff. Just waiting for a 2gb micro sd now. £39.99 from play.com
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] spangelsaregreat:
Hi,

It may worth noting that other than for one month in last years contracr o2 never logged my GPRS usage.

I had a 6mb usage limit and according to their site I never used any of the allowance! Though in the one month they did log it they stung me for an extra £20.

As I never used my Wifi on my JAMin it was a no-brainer switching to T-Mobile and I got the same deal as one of the other posters @ £49 for phone Flext20 (£22.50 per month with WnW).

I was paying £24 with o2.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] roy4355:
Well I've just managed to get the XDA Orbit with Sat Nav software for free with 500 minutes and 900 texts for £20 per month (12 month contract). Wouldn't stretch to a free bluetooth headset though. This was through retentions and took 4 calls, each time getting a little more offered. Just waiting for it to arrive now.

Shoud I be chuffed?;)

wow.

i should have pushed a bit harder then !
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] shadowman:
I just upgraded to an orbit. I am on Data 5 only, and also have o2 insurance. My monthly spend is £14.39 inc VAT.

I went into local o2 shop expecting £149 upgrade fee. They plugged it all in the computer and it came out at £99, then I traded an old Nokia handset and got a further £30 off. so actual upgrade was £69 !
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] capcrackers:
That's a great deal. I called last night and got the 500 X-net mins and 500 txts for £20/month over 12 months and the orbit with co pilot for free. Thought I did well.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jamin100:
I still have 6 months left on my o2 contract so i brought a brand new orbit from eBay and collected it last night. Paid £210 and probably £15 in petrol collecting it so £225 total. Very please seeing as they are selling for over £300.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] CoolGadget:
Where did you find this for £ 225??

Thats a good deal.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] jamin100:
Off ebay. The woman was listing it at BuyItNow for £250 and i emailed her to see if i could collect. In the meantime it was brought by somebody else. So i thought oh well i'll keep looking. I then recieved an email back from her saying that the purchaser was in a country she didnt post to and that if i was still interested i could pick it up. After a bit of bartering i got the phone down to £210 as i said i would have to travel 100 miles but could pay cash. The petrol cost me £15 so i work it out at about £225

Anyway collected it Wednesday it was an unwanted upgrade and still had the security seal on the box. I was very happy. It was well worth the 100 mile drive.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] robboy:
I managed to get mine for £49 with O2 as an upgrade, Im now on a reduced O2 500 for £20 a month it should be £35
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] gollyman:
I got the T-mobile MDA Compasct III but the spec I had seen from T-mobile DID include WiFi .. They have let me cancel my vcontract, refund the money I payed for the phone AND I am switching to the O2 Orbit .... T mobile might have strange ideas about phones ( removing WiFi in Britain ) but their customer services have been brilliant.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jack_Sc:
Hello people,

I have the LG Optimus G Pro from at&t, but I am using it with PureTalk GSM. It was working great for about a month; I was able to call, SMS, and use wifi, but I didn't have mobile data, because I didn't need it. For some unknown reason, all of the sudden I am not able to hear anyone who calls me, and they can't hear me either. Everything else still works, so I'm still using it for texting, but no matter who I try to call, there is no sound whatsoever. Not even static. But I know the call connected because the phone I call will ring, and when they answer it, my phone vibrates once to let me know when the call connects, but while their phone is ringing, I don't hear a ringing noise in my phone. Also, I've tried using speakerphone, and that doesn't work, but it will for any other audio. I can hear the dialing noises through the earpiece if I use the keypad during a call, so the earpiece works. I've also tried connecting to Bluetooth and it pairs and connects successfully, but still no call audio other than dialpad. And I've also tried connecting headphones, but still nothing. I called my service provider from another phone and they reset my account, but that didn't help, so I restored my phone to factory settings and that still didn't help. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen?

Thanks in advance!!
[General Questions and Answers] droidagnostic:
So a friend has a stock Samsung Galaxy 2 on T-Mobile and and is using the stock email app to get her biz email from her website provider GoDaddy. I believe she has the latest OTA 4.4.2 installed.

She cannot get (receive only) email sent to this biz email account, she can send OK and sends and receives fine on the 3 other different email accounts (Gmail, Live Mail and ?, POP3 & IMAP) set up in the app.

She's been back and forth between the customer reps at T-Mobile and GoDaddy, each one helpfully pointing the finger at the other.

I somehow got volunteered to help (as have you now, TIA:fingers-crossed:) and I have discovered that this is a duplicatable problem.

I am able to recreate this on my phone with both a GoDaddy POP & IMAP email account.

I have a rooted Samsung SPH-L710 with Wicked-X 7.3 on Boost Mobile and today I re-tasked one of my GoDady junk mail accounts to the stock Email app (the one that comes in the ROM) and sure enough I can send fine but cannot receive an email on the phone through that account.

Added the K-9 Mail app to my phone and set up the account as POP3, everything works fine.

The issue seems to be how the stock Email app plays with GoDaddy email.

Any thoughts on why? Or how to fix?
