[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmwh0r3:
Are you downloading to a pc? If so which browser are you using? As far as I know to download a stock rom, go to sammobile.com . It's a pain in the butt to log in and everything but once it works, you can download the stock rom from them and flash it via odin. I just did that with my note 10.1 to return it to stock.

[Verizon LG G3] juntistik:
Hey everyone,

I did a search on this and couldnt find anything in the forum - forgive me if this has been covered.

I tried using the stock Wifi Hotspot app today expecting to be greeted by a message about needing to pay for it. My phone is 100% stock, not rooted. I pressed the icon and it instantly turned on without any mention of extra charges or provisioning, has anyone else seen this?

I dont believe my account is provisioned for using it as a hotspot, i've never even attempted to use stock tethering in the past as I am coming from a rooted SGS3 running custom ROMs

Anyone else using Wifi Tethering without paying for it? Oh, and im not on unlimited data, not sure if that matters.

Thanks!:laugh:
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
Since you are not on an unlimited plan, it should be provisioned out the box.

The standard app should work no problem. For you they don't care. Actually the FCC made them not care.

Unlimited, they care.
[Verizon LG G3] juntistik:
Makes sense - the more i use it the more I pay them, thanks for the helpful response

2 days ago I dropped my phone and outer glass is broken. (from bottom left part) I went to service provider they said we can repair it for 450 Turkish Liras (208 US dollars)

If I buy this (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-...-Glass-Lens-Outer-Touch-Glass/1897497974.html) and replace myself will it be okay? and these are the picture from my nexus 5. (sorry for bad quality)

If you know what you're doing sure why not you will probably save tons of money
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Everything is fused together.. Replacing "just the glass" will be next to impossible without the required tools. Besides that, the crack has hardly breached the display area.. if I were you, I would just ignore it and move on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koolthing:
Yeah I watched the videos about dissambling, you need to disassemble almost everything to replace the glass. I've some friends who capable to do that fortunately. There is a crack on the display area it's really thin and I can see it from a certain angle.

I won't rush to replace it but if the glass in the link is enough, I won't give my money to service provider. This was all I need to know. Thx guys.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokke9191:
The glass is bonded to the digitizer, even if you manage to separate it using heat, you have a huge chance of breaking the digitizer in the process. If done successfully you still have to use loca glue cured with a uv light to attach the new glass to the digitizer. This needs to be done with zero bubbles or defects or the touch won't work. Even if the loca is applied and the touch works and you don't ruin other components with the glue, it still won't be 100 percent perfect. Don't waste your time. Just pay to have it replaced imo. Or buy the digitizer, glass, and bezel assembly and just swap out the internals it'll be much easier. Unfortunately that assembly is 150 dollars, might as well pay the extra 50 and have lg or a repair shop do it for you and warranty their work.

Precisely this. Well said.

[Windows Phone 8 General] agonzalez1010:
Yup, you read it right. About 2 weeks ago I came across a post on WPCentral.com about a Newegg.com deal on a Nokia Lumia 1520.3 CV that contained AWS and other LTE bands that T-Mobile uses. I got the phablet on Friday. After changing the language to English and running Phone Updates I was able to get to Cyan Windows 8.1. After I reinstalled Preview Dev, it jumped up to WP 8.1 GDR1. I'm getting a solid T-Mobile LTE Signal with download speeds between 15mbps to 22mbps. Internet Sharing is working just fine. The only thing that won't work for obvious reasons is WiFi Calling which for me isn't a big deal since i'm on the unlimited plan. The Phone on Newegg ran me about $494 bucks

If you are on T-Mobile user and like me was sick and tired of getting low to midrange devices and you want to upgrade to the beast head on over to newegg.com and search for Nokia Lumia 1520.3. Notice the .3. It's the .3 that makes it T-Mobile compatible. Has for color selection it was black but I didn't care about that either.

I hope this helps any WP user who is on T-Mobile and wants something bigger and better.

Cheers,
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Very cool! Does the Internet Sharing feature work for you? The current unlimited plans include some tethering, so it *should*, but phones that aren't explicitly for T-Mo have been having problems.

If at all possible, could you follow the steps here, especially if it does work?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rancho454:
I have recently rooted my Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 with the Restl3ssroot.zip. It worked great and I have removed/deleted the stock applications that I wanted to. However, this tablet is shared within a workgroup and I need to remove root as an administrative security precaution. What is the best way to unroot the device and preserve the application changes/removals that I've done? I'm new to Android Tablets (and this forum) so I'm not able to post to the developer forums and Restl3ss' rooting thread, so I'm hoping someone else has ventured into these waters. Device info:

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bangjr:
Hello everyone,

I just rooted my beloved G Pad, as I'm fed up with the SD card issue of unmounting, mounting, ejected, removed by itself.

I am running 4.4.2 stock - no ROM, stock but rooted.

Installed SD Fix, ran the app. Was good for one day and this morning - BAM! I noticed that message saying - card was unmounted improperly...

So - correct me if I am wrong but I thought rooting my G Pad and installing the SD Fix app should have addressed this.

Am I missing anything? Such an annoyance this SD card issue.

Appreciate any inputs.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiriddin:
SD Fix solves a permissions issue, not the unmounting/bad removal issue. In my case my bad removals dropped dramatically when I got a different sd card. However that fix doesn't work for everyone either. LG will tell you to factory reset, but please make sure to complain to their support line anyway since it might make them wake up to the issue and then try and address it.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bangjr:
Thanks Muiriddin for setting me straight with regards to SD Fix. :good:

I had replaced my SD card once and yes, it was not unmounting/mounting for about a month then BAM - dismounts, removals, etc, etc.

I have also called in LG Tech Support - they wanted me to ship my tab to them. The person I spoke said that they were unaware of the issue. I said, does this call make you aware of the issue now? Silence...LOL!!
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muiriddin:
If it was not happening at first and is now try reformatting the card. That can help sometimes...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemisis7654:
Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had run into the same issue as I have. I am attempting to access the bootloader of a ViewSonic VSD 241 (http://www.viewsonic.com/us/vsd241.html). This is a large 24" device that has no hardware volume buttons.

Now, I did "adb reboot bootloader" and the device turns off, acts as if it is about to turn back on but does not. When I press the power button, it brings up a screen that says:

"Press <Volume Down> to select, <Volume Up> for selection move:

bootloader (this is highlighted)

continue

reboot-bootloader

reboot

poweroff"

This screen stays on the page for approximately 5 seconds then turns off. Since there are no hardware controls, I am unable to move the selection. So, it seems as if it turns on, waits for user input, then selects the currently selected (which is bootloader) and since I cannot get into the bootloader, it is continually doing this.

Does anyone have any advice or experience with this happening to them? Is there something I can do (or am missing) to get into the bootloader, such as some sort of combination or softkey button presses I can use?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nemisis7654:
Okay, so it seems after a while, it will just boot correctly.

Now I am able to get back into the OS. However, I am still unable to find a way to get it into the bootloader so that I can talk to it via fastboot. Has anybody been able to do this?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dqle:
Sorry if this has been answered in another thread (I tried!), but is there a way to update nightlies through the Settings, or must we download each build and manually install them from there?

As I'm about to install CM on a friend's Touchpad as well, would nightly builds be a good idea? She's not technically inclined, so if not a nightly, which CM 11 build would be the most user friendly and/or most functional for everyday use? (heck, even a non-CM build might be worth considering if no easy option exists)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryatherton:
Milaq has an easy to use updater built in. It is not automatic. It is very stable and you would not have to flash the nightlies to have a good daily driver.

Love my camera on my phone and the sheer number of photos I take proves it. From time to time I have seen advertisement for smartphone "Zoom Lenses" and i was wondering if anyone had any or had any recommendations for them or even against them.

I'm sure you all know what I mean but i'm referring to this.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jucytec:
If you are actually going to BUY a lens for your phone... Spend the money and get a real camera.

you use cam phone because it's portable and you can pull it out for a quick shot... once you put a lens... you lose both. + you end up looking like an idiot when you missed the shot.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] slight22:
Have a real camera, it's at home. This i can throw in my backpack. i'm obviously not going to use it for rush shots, but things like the view from my office etc. Besides 40 dollars for the zoom, 1400 (give or take) for a good DSLR.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] jucytec:
Right, and my 6d, which was 2000 takes much better pictures then s5. But who am I to say anything I buy anything that I find mildly interesting.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] slight22:
Thank you for your opinion I will take it into consideration. I'm curious if anyone has had any practical experience with them.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Tenchuu:
If it works a a regular telephoto and not a zoom lens you will experience a black circle around your shot until you zoom in to only the telephoto area. Here is someone else's experience with adding a telephoto to a camera:

- Install the lens.

- Turn on the camera.

- Oh my God, it's just a big black circle. What's wrong?

- Zoom in.

- As you zoom in, the circle gets bigger and bigger until finally the entire picture is visible in the viewfinder.

- Ah, that's better.

- Turn off the camera.

- Turn it back on.

- Oh my God, it's just a big black circle. What's wrong?

- Repeat.

- Then you decide you want to take a picture of something that is nearby.

- Zoom out.

- Oh my God, it's just a big black circle.

- Remove the lens.

- Can take your close up picture.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tisdadd:
Was searching around online, and saw one or two places that the sprint 4g lte data is on the same waveband as the 3g, so any dual band 800/1900mhz antenna should work, but haven't seen in confirmed by others. If I am going to get one, I want to know that it really will work and figured this is the best place to check.

I have an older one I picked up a while back, but it was for in the car... reading the specs they frequency is TX:824-849MHz and 1850-1910MHz

RX 869-894 MHz 1930-1990 MHz. When I tried it in the house it doesn't really seem to help much, even with the antenna set up out the window. At one point I had a metal bunk bed that I set it up as a contraption on and it helped with 3g very slightly.

Was looking at the zBoost ZB545 setup, but was considering a wilson if need be. Figure an external antenna should help either way. Currently sometimes get a 4g signal (very rarely), even though the map says I should get great 4g. Usually in house have 1 bar of 3g.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bryguy9021:
if you have poor reception in your house, sprint will give you a booster for free. however all it really does is route your cell thru your high speed internet. meaning it requires high speed internet and its really not boosting at all just rerouting. i dont know if this will help you or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tisdadd:
Thanks much. I have no internet available here other than dial up or on my phone, so that doesn't work. :(

Ended up going with the ZBoost one, just finished setting it up. As long as I am in the same room, voice is staying ok. If I leave the phone on the booster I can get 4g. :D

We did make an extra "non-metal antenna" for it though to put it extra high above the house.

Probably if I shorten the coax it would work even better, but this is great for the moment.
