Vario II - Modem Use

I have been using the Vario II on T-Mobile W&W package very well indeed. Good speeds when on 3G (incl 3.5G) when available and surfing is faster when on the laptop via modem link rather than on Vario II direct on PIE. The basic Web 7 Walk package (1 Gb @ £7.50) does not allow modem use but....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mab981:
Its not so much whether or not you use it as a modem - its a question of what traffic you put through it. 1 gig per month at 3g speeds is quite a lot - if you are browsing the web or doing emails they are going to be hard pressed to work out if you are doing it from the phone or from a laptop connected to the phone. I use my connection to remotely manage computers and am often linked to my remote network through a VPN - they could detect that relatively easily by monitoring the port numbers in use - but they have not noticed yet!

Quite honestly, the only two things which are going to make them complain are excessive traffic or lost revenue - hence the 1 gig cap and ban on VOIP.

ok thanks guys for your replys, sure has answerd my queston ;)
[Moto X General] Jacquestrapp:
Thanks for the info. I wish more options existed for recording phone calls on Android, whenever I mention it as something I'm looking for in a ROM people usually jump to the conclusion that it's for surreptiously recording conversations but it has plenty of legitimate uses, in journalism for example.
[Moto X General] rsromano:
Installed the trial from the link in the description in the play store. You get it free for 2 weeks. I did a test call to my answering machine at work, and it worked flawlessly. Not sure when I'll actually use it outside of maybe calling Comcast to cancel my service soon.
[Moto X General] skulldreamz:
Also talking to people that are very special to you and maybe you don't speak to them but very rarely and they pass away. You have they're voice to comfort the memories. As i lost my brother and best friend to suicide lately and there is not a app on Google play that i would have wanted more on my phone. Anyway thanks for the app [MENTION=2859866]skvalex[/MENTION] and thanks [MENTION=2509024]samwathegreat[/MENTION] for the thorough heads up as you always do for our community friend..

It's one of those app's that you might not use everyday but when you need it, you really need it or could really use it...IMHO

I have a XT1080M Droid Maxx 2013.

I'm assuming since my phone is basically the same as your Moto X then Call Recorder should work on mine as well unless:

1) Yours is rooted and you're using one of the root methods (Mine's stock).

2) Differing Android version (Mine's 4.4.4).

I'll give the trial version a go if yours is running similar to mine. If not, I'll wait to see what the future brings as far as unlocking my bootloader first! ?
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
[MENTION=5802858]duwest[/MENTION] :

Sorry, I forgot to mention that ROOT is required. I will add that to the OP. Other than that, it should work find on the Maxx. Hope you are able to unlock soon.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
OP Updated with instructions on how to get the Call Recorder app to work with temp-root (TowelPieRoot) on 4.4.2 with locked BL.
[Moto X General] Palauv:
My phone is not rooted,BL locked... kitkat 4.4.4 .. I installed the trial version,chose the only option available which is "standard api" as recording method for unrooted moto x. audio source -microphone/DEFAULT. BUT ALL RECORDINGS ARE STRANGE! THE VOICES ARE DOUBLED!!! EXAMPLE- HELLO,HELLO..WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? like that.. :(

I tried all varities but failed... its not working for a unrooted moto x! NO CALL RECORDER WORKS FOR unrooted MOTO X . MINE CAME WITH 4.4.4 SO TECHNICALLY i CANNOT ROOT AS WELL AS RECORD CALLS!!!! :confused::(:(:confused:

[Java for Android App Development] Rick Clephas:
Hi I want to start my service after it is killed by the user or the system.

I thought about creating a second app and monitor if the service is running and if not then start it.

The problem I have with that is

- I need two apps

- It drains more battery

I hope you can help me find the best solution for my problem :)
[Java for Android App Development] hiphop12ism:
Yeah, I think if you override the onDestroy method on your service class, and then you can send a broadcast from there.

In your broadcast receiver you can start the service again.

Though i have never tried it myself, i think this should work.

Tell me how it goes

Happy coding!! :thumbup:
[Java for Android App Development] Rick Clephas:
I thought about that too but unfortunately when the app is stopped by the user the onDestroy methode is not called...
[Java for Android App Development] hiphop12ism:
If yu are using android version less than 4.4.2 then returning start sticky should do it
[Java for Android App Development] Rick Clephas:
That is only if the system stops the service not if the user does....
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
I believe there is no such way... otherwise android would be very insecure for malware that just does this ;). You can only restart your service once the user restarts your activity, there should not be another way (and START_STICKY for the system of course). And please don't do two apps which listen for each other, if the user willingly kills your service they usually have a reason and expect that your app is not working right until they restart it.
[Java for Android App Development] Rick Clephas:
I have heard that a lot but does that mean that all the security apps available on the play store can be killed by the user? :what:
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Sure, why not? I could uninstall my firewall on my PC if I wasn't using Ubuntu and thus don't really need one ;)
[Java for Android App Development] Rick Clephas:
Well that is a pitty. I really thought I had seen an app that could do that... :confused:
[Java for Android App Development] Rick Clephas:
Look this app says it can't be killed by task managers https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.domobile.applock
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Just an idea, it might be possible when your app is a Device Admin with the APIs that you get with that. Though you have to read it yourself, I have no clue about how it works.
[Java for Android App Development] Rick Clephas:
Thanks I will look at that. Most people have my app as Device Admin because that way it can't be uninstalled :cool:
[Java for Android App Development] Rick Clephas:
Well I found the solution.

When device admin is enabled the app can't be force-stopped or uninstalled. Then the user can only stop the service and then the onDestroy methode is called so then I can restart the service again. Tanks guys :thumbup:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pichu0102:
For some reason, I've got a strange bug on my HTC One that causes random apps to do the strange behavior seen in the attachment. I talked to the developer of the app, then realized occasionally the stock HTC apps like gallery and calendar menus would do this too, as well as the old Quora app which would almost always have every menu option after hitting a button to open a menu have nothing but ... on each menu option. Sometimes a letter or two would survive, like "Pr..." or "M..." but I chalked it up to Quora being buggy. New Quora doesn't have this problem. Thinking further, the older version of Sleep as Android and SleepStats would do this with the menus too, before they had the options in the left drawer. Once again, no screenshot of this.

However, this issue only occurs in portrait mode, not landscape. It seems to happen on apps that have a similar feel to their UI, with a menu button in the upper right. Sorry I don't have more information, I should have taken more screenshots.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
have you tried wiping cache for the apps that are affected?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Pichu0102:
Still doing it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SynisterWolf:
if you're 100% stock and this is happening, you might need to do a factory reset.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Reboot to bootloader (hold down power for approx 10-15secs and when screen shuts off hold down the vol down button also). Use volume keys to select "recovery" press power button to select recovery. When in recovery, select wipe cache and then reboot. If this doesn't work, you might need a factory reset, which will clear data partition. All apps, texts, etc will be reset to factory defaults and should be like almost just out of box condition.

Edit: to back up your data while not being rooted, look up PC apps like "Mobile Go" to back everything up to your PC.

[AT&T LG G3] kinjo1023:
I was about a day away from upgrading my AT&T Samsung GS3 to the LG G3 until I heard whispers of the updated Prime being released for the US at the Berlin IFA show. Anyone else hear anything else more substantial about it? Best Buy has the G3s on sale for $99 right now but if the phone is going to get a prime version I'd rather wait for that to see what they update....
[AT&T LG G3] arcticrobot:
Every phone will eventually be replaced by better version. If you are going to always wait like this you are going to have bad time.
[AT&T LG G3] bolillo:
Honestly this phone has everything i need, honestly a phone with more power right now is a bit overkill cause i don't think there is an app in which you need all of this processing power but if you haven't upgraded yet and you can wait until it comes out then more power to you cause i can tell you that this phone is awesome and with more speed it will feel better if not the same, but a newer phone might also mean that the bootloader unlock will take longer to achieve and root to cause they might fix everything that was good to exploit right now we are looking close to bootloader unlock or at least there is solid progress, but it's your pick man get an awesome phone at a discount or get the same phone with a bit more power at a later date at a more expensive price
[AT&T LG G3] breathtakingevil:
I disagree with some of these statements.

First you have to ask yourself, what will you get out of a new device which your not getting in your current one?

Now that you've answered this, browse the phones that meet these prerequisites.

Read reviews, see which one has better res., faster processor, whatever meets YOUR needs, not necessarily the markets.

Look at the manufacturors' credentials to get a feel for how well they provide things like updates, support, etc.

Once you've made a decision, go for it. I came from the S4 to this since I bricked it... but typically I will wait a processor generation(1-2 years). Went from having a single core, to dual core, quad core, but f*ed up my phone, so I got a beefed up quad that was appeasing.

WHAT ARE YOUR NEEDS is my main point, sometimes there is never enough processing power for someone who has 5 email accounts, all of the common social networking apps && a high-process running launcher. It all depends on what you do with your device, but 3-6 months after the release of the first generation processor of it's kind is my rule of thumb...

My personal opinion & 2 cents worth. If I knew there was a prime coming out in two weeks from the day I was about to get this phone, I would hold out as well lol
[AT&T LG G3] Raz12:
Lol well i just bought the phone and im not up for renewal until 2 years again so i have to stick with this amazing LG G3 regardless .
[AT&T LG G3] kinjo1023:
Pulled the trigger on the G3 and I'm definitely happy with the phone. Especially since it was only 50 bucks with the best buy sale and a gift card. Love it so far.
[AT&T LG G3] huskerkate:
Personally, I think you made a sound choice. From what I've been able to gather, the only difference in the Prime version, if it is even made available in the US, is that it will have an 805 processor. It was designed for the markets that use the cat6 lte band, which the US doesn't have. The 805 is supposed to have a better and more efficient graphics processor, but that doesn't mean a whole lot to me be a use I don't do much gaming. You might see a slight bump in performance and battery life, but we're probably still months away from seeing it in the states. By that time, the G4 will already be close, as well as devices with the 810 (I saw an article about it on DL today). I'm perfectly happy with the G3, and once the bootloader is unlocked (which appears to be soon, according to posts in the Bounty threads), I will be entertained for several months until we see the next gen devices.
[AT&T LG G3] 3's&7's:
Agreed. Don't get caught up in semi generational devices. You don't get your $'s worth, your off meaningful product cycles, and frankly creating a satisfaction hole you will never fill.

As soon as this boot loader is unlocked. I'm selling my M8 GPE and sticking with this until next year when my "Next Plan" with the carrier is finished.
[AT&T LG G3] chillsen:
this phone will last you more than those 2 years with Android L, ART, + root.

hoping for Xposed version compatible with ART and this is one smooth phone
[AT&T LG G3] kinjo1023:
I'm probably not going to even root it until an android L ROM comes out. I don't mind the optimus UI.
[AT&T LG G3] Pilz:
There is no reason for LG to release it in the US. When it was released LG said they have no plans to have it outside of Korea. I think it should come to the US but I don't think it will. I have one coming from Korea in a few days which is what you should do if you want one. Also if you order it from Korea you get a spare battery, battery charger and headphones with the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adobe7:
Usage is going to be 95% web browsing, 5% Emails and Texting.

Or any other device in the same price range? (Don't want non-removable battery devices please.)

Xperia ZR internal memory of just 8GB seems an issue to me while in Note 3 Neo's case its screen being prone to scratches, poor processor chip, and a price difference of about 10k more than xperia zr doesn't see to be worth (18k v/s 27k). No updates, no kitkat for it yet either.

Any suggestion would be a great help. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cr4zy.b0y:
Poor chip? Dude , the performance is very close to snapdragon 800! You will get kk with note 3 neo , it's just a matter of time. Performance is better than zr. If you can afford note 3 go for it( difference in price should be small enough )

I bought it because of note features and samoled screen.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] koker93:
Quick story: I rooted my note 2 about a year ago. Ran Paranoid Android for a long time. got it in my head I wanted to revert back to stock. So I did, successfully. I then did all the updates, including the dreaded knox firmware. I then went back to PA, but with knox on the phone I was never able to get root access. I did get PA to stick somehow, but for the last 2 months i've been without my LTE. So I decided to revert again, successfully. Because I'm a glutton for punishment I allowed the stock update to kitkat 4.3, which soft bricked my phone. This was after it had been working on 4.1 for a half a day. A really nice guy in this thread showed me how to unbrick my phone and get it back to the bootloader. From there I was able to run the revert to stock again and my phone is again happily running stock 4.1.

All of that is leading to this, the actual question. My phone is constantly hanging when the OS asks if I want to upgrade. I've tried it a couple more times at this point to see if it was just a fluke that the update didn't take. Is soft bricks the phone every time...how do I get the phone updated to 4.3 so it stops asking?? At this point I am stock. I also tried running the auto root but it runs into knox (i think, something goes wrong) and wont take :(

Dont care what I have to do at this point, the knox counter is already tripped. Although it doesn't show up after running the revert to stock rom.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetaNova:
I had the Google Play edition of the Moto G running the nightly builds of Cyanogenmod, and all things considered, it was going pretty well. However, after a while I noticed that my GPS seemed unable to get a lock. Later, it seemed unable to connect to mobile data, though all the other cellular functions worked just fine. I assumed this must have something to do with the CM nightlies.

The real trouble came when I tried restoring Motorola's stock firmware. Considering there aren't really any releases of the Google version of the Moto G firmware, I thought that was my best bet. I followed the instructions found here, rebooted, and found I was unable to use any of the cellular features, along with a helpful "No Service" icon in my status area. I have since reinstalled Cyanogenmod, and still have all the same issues.

Here is the About and About > Status pages for your reference:

I have read that similar issues can be caused by having a corrupted IMEI. However, I've pulled the pds partition off the device, mounted it, and found the following files:

batt_health bt camera factory lost+found pds_formatted_v10 public security whisper wifi wmdrm

and I see an IMEI in the phone status, so I would assume that it is fine.

Is it possible the firmware for the modem is not functioning properly? As a rather low priority, any tips on debugging GPS would be helpful too.

Thanks!

You probably haven't reflashed the correct GPE firmware...On XDA, there are many GPE firmwares most of which are modified to convert xt1032 and xt1033 to GPE by changing the radios and the fsg.bin file...Make sure you choose the original GPE firmware...

Second question: Even after the above fix, my mobile data didn't work until I manually added an APN with the data on my provider's website. One of the reasons I had started flashing roms in the first place, before I managed to break it, was that one day my mobile data stopped working.

When I set up my phone, the APN's seemed to pop up out of nowhere and everything worked just fine. Why did I manually have to add one now?

Thanks again!
