Anyone else hate the screen protector that comes in the box for this phone? It has a misty look to it so you can tell its on the phone. Is this the same for everyone or have i got a dodgy one? It doesnt seem to effect the screen quality when the screen is on.

My girlfriend has a z1 compact and the screen protector that comes with that is perfect. It just looks like the screen (shiny/glossy)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theredspecial:
I just got a Verizon G3 last week and love it so far, but I'm looking for a specific type of TPU case. I received my Diztronic case today, but it's way too slippery. I'd like a case like the ZooGue case I had on my S III, one with ribbed/ridged sides to prevent it from sliding out of my hand. Does anyone know of a good quality TPU case like this? Failing that, what are some TPU cases with good grip? I'd still like something have provides good protection, but I don't want it to add too much bulk.

I've seen the Cruzerlite Bugdroid posted, but it appears to be more of a gel/transparent case and it also has smooth sides. I also found the Spigen Ultra Fit that boasts an anti-slip feel, but I don't like the fact that the top and bottom are open.

Thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed2560:
The cruzerlite cases are made of the same material as the diztronics, its just slightly thinner. But as you said, it does appear to be smooth on the sides.

This case might be more what you're looking for. They are super thin, and have a textured side for grip. I have the smoke and clear and they feel great.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theredspecial:
Thanks for your reply. I might end up going with the Bugdroid then. I had (several) S-Line cases on my Thunderbolt, they are garbage. They split and fell apart every few months, but they kept sending me replacements.

This is what I'm looking for, something with sides like this (but for the G3 and black):

Ive just had hsdpa added to my account but CS didnt seem like they knew what they were talking about.

Will it say on my account in my t-mobile somwhere that i have this feature?

Thanks.

If it does could you let me know where abouts in my t-mobile it would be ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] athiqueahmed:
Somewhere in extra services or something like that, there should be a feature called 384k Uplink and it should be enabled if T-Mobile have enabled HSDPA on your account.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] se4me:
ok thanks, cant see it anywhere on my account i called t-mobile got through to a tech they said its enabled on my acc and i wont be able to see it on my t mobile as its a free service,

I get my vario ii back tomorrow went for a software update missed the post on sat :(

whats the best place to do a speed test and what speed should i get that i know hsdpa is deffentley enabled?

Thanks again
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] timbouk:
Can you tell me what version you had prior to your upgrade. Were you having problems? if so what with?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] athiqueahmed:
Just checked mine and the exact name of the service as you should see it on yours will be 'HSDPA 384k Uplink' and it should be enabled.

In any case, to do a speed test browse over to http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1 on your device and select an amount to dowload. It's a speed test page for mobile devices so you might want to save it in your faves if you ever want to check the speed.

As for the speeds you should be getting...

3G - Max Uplink Rate - 128Kb | Max Downlink Rate - 384Kb

HSDPA - Max Uplink Rate - 384Kb | Max Downlink Rate - 1.8Mbit* (*Current theoretical limit on T-mobile)

I usually get around 1Mbit speeds with 2-3 bars of signal.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] se4me:
I have checked again nothing about HSDPA 384k Uplink but a techie said it is enabled

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a1745:
Hey,

I've tried to update my Kindle Fire HD 8.9 to the newest CM11 version, but I wasn't careful enough to update my TWRP 2.4.4.0 beforehand to the newest version, resulting in a Kindle that is stuck in recovery (TWRP).

I managed to load with ADB the newest TWRP version (2.7) on the device, but I can't seem to be able to install the file from TWRP (it only recognizes the CM11 and Google apps files in the folder, but not the kfhd8-twrp-2.7.0.0-recovery.img file I loaded).

Any chance anyone knows to make this happen so I can get back to using the Kindle?

(unfortunately, I failed to do a backup and I don't want to wipe everything since I have a quite a few files that I won't be able to restore)

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] JoshuaForTheWin:
Can someone give me a stock 4.2.2 gallery2.apk.. It seemed that the apk I tried to install was the google camera.. I tried everything to fix it. I didnt know it would replace the Gallery2.apk. Since it replaced that apk my camera doesnt work.. The flashlight too doesnt work... Until I finally decided to delete the gallery2.apk which was the google camera with photosperes and etc. Now... I dont have a gallery and a camera.. Its missing in my app drawer now. And I cant seem to change my wallpaper using the google now launcher. Can someone please give me a gallery2.apk.. With no photospheres.. Just a really stock 4.2.2 camera.. My camera has gyroscope but I dont think it supports photosphere. And oh by the way myphone is a rooted Starmobile Octa.. A good help would be really nice if someone out there has the same problem with me

additional info.. my camera UI looks like this... so if anyone out there that has the same look with my camera please send me a gallery2.apk
[General Questions and Answers] supergerrit:
Hi,

Just download a ROM for your device and unzip it. Look for the system apk files in the /system/app folder and install it. Try also installing as system app.

Or just flash your ROM again. Google for some tutorials to do this.

Hope this is helpfull.
[General Questions and Answers] Vierkantdel:
I had done something similar on my S3 Mini GT-I8200N trying to replace the disgusting SystemUI on the stock ROM (No 4.4 ROMS available yet unfortunately), after I pulled out the SystemUI.apk from a random CM10.1 ROM for the GT-I9300.

Now I deleted the original SystemUI and I pissed Android off, as the new systemUI would crash on a attempt to launch.

Now to begin with, what phone do you have? Are you running stock or anything?

That would be a decent help in case anyone has the tools (and the privilege) to tear the camera and gallery application out of a package.

HI.. im kinda newbie.. and I download a gallery2.apk from a kitkat rom.. i dont know where to find a gallery2.apk that is really for my phone since the gallery2.apk i download keeps crashing and camera wont open.. and the gallery opens but it never gives me a preview of the front picture of the folder of the gallery.. its just plain black.. i removed my new gallery2.apk... and I hope someone out there has a stock gallery2.apk if not... a much better gallery2.apk that makes my camera work again... and also my flashlight wont work

Im still running on stock since i dont know how to flash a custom rom to my phone if someone could just give me a download link of a rom to flash and then teach me how to flash... then thatll be easy.. by now.. i just want a stock gallery2.apk since my new googlegallery.apk is always crashing... it wont open the camera.. it wont open the flashlight.. it never gives me the preview of the pictures of the front folders.. is just folders with blank image on it.. and if you could give me a stock gallery2.apk for my phone.. i would be so happy.. and if you could give me a custom rom to flash to my phone.. much much better... hmmmmmmph. the name of my phone is Starmobile OCTA... its a rebrand from Indias. IQX Mobile OCTO... I hope you could help me through the process.. and oh.. by the systemui.apk problem... i encountered that problem too... I just gave it to the company and they gave me a last chance to use my warranty eventhough I was rooted at that time
[General Questions and Answers] supergerrit:
I don't know if it works but in the attachment is a *.zip file. In the zip file is the gallery2.apk and camera2.apk from a kitkat ROM. Install it as a system application.

[General Questions and Answers] supergerrit:
I don't no anything else than flashing your ROM again. You have to google a lot to find a stock/custom ROM for your phone.

After downloading the rom, look at google for some good guides to flash ROMs. There are lots of them.
[General Questions and Answers] JoshuaForTheWin:

Thanks master... If only its easy to find the rom. I would flash a rom to this.. But i cant seem to find a rom.. Can you give me the keys in finding roms and how would i know if my device is compatible with it and whats the requirement?
[General Questions and Answers] supergerrit:
It is not easy to find a ROM for non common devices (your device). You have to look everywere... One thing, the ROM must be made for your device. I cannot help you finding a rom.

Look also at the manufacturers site.
[General Questions and Answers] JoshuaForTheWin:
I found a rom for a phone thats also a local brand.. With almost all the same specs and kernel and even the camera.. And ui.. The difference is just that the hardware design of the phone.. And 2nd.. I dont know how to flash a rom.. It was a kitkat rom. I just dont know how to flash it.. It was a zip file with systems and boot.img. can you give me a process on how should i flash it through my phonw ans how should i back up my phone before flashing it?
[General Questions and Answers] supergerrit:
- install titanium backup and backup everything

- boot into the recovery mode and make a nandroid backup.

- do a factory reset

- flash the zip file

- restore all user apps (NOT THE SYSTEM APPS)

It might be nessecary to install a custom recovery.

Again, look at google for some guides. Flashing is the same on almost every device. There are lots of them

Just to say it: i'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biazoto:
hello everyone, I would like to know how to configure the hardware keys in Gpe / AOSP / AOKP ROMs to only turn on when pressed and not all the time, for example, when the screen is touched. I have found ways to completely disable, but not exactly what I'm looking for.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tkkg1994:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biazoto:
I already have installed Xposed and use several modules, including gravitybox, but what I seek is a way to configure them so that only light up when they are pressed, as is by default the official ROMs tw and some GPE like the kangakat. in all ROMs I have tested in recent days, by touching the screen, the buttons light up and not thought it was cool. In tested ROMs, as well as in gravitybox, there is only the option to permanently disable the lights of the buttons and that is not what I seek. maybe there is some file or script that can be changed to that setting?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frnorke:
Hi,

I recently obtained a GS5 (t-mobile). If is running Android 4.4.2 and appears to be the stock ROM from T-mobile. No matter what I do, I am unable to get the GPS to lock onto any satellites. When I use an app that requires location (yes, I've turned on location services and shared it with google location services), it just continues to show "Searching for GPS". I have experimented with this at various locations in my geographic area and it simply doesn't ever connect with the GPS satellites. Therefore, apps that need location information are extremely inaccurate because they're only getting information from the cell towers.

My service is straight talk. The phone is unlocked and I'm able to make and receive calls without issue/problems. Has any seen this issue before and/or have a suggested fix? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
There are existing threads where this has been asked and answered. A valuable resource for those who look there. In short, start by ruling out software issues - check settings, factory data reset, write a full stock firmware image. That will resolve the issue for most users.

If not, then you would presumably have a hardware problem and need to have your phone serviced in or out of warranty.

Ever since installing the Mahdi rom, my Google Music app errors out when I try to play over bluetooth. Says it can't play that file, or something of the sort.

Hello brothers, I have a little doubt. I'm really loving the LG smartphone, since now I'm thinking about changing my LG optimus g PRO, for G2 LG ls980. Well, I had read many topics on this model G2, and say there is no unlock for it through IMEI, now my question is: Is it possible to unlock LG LS980 G2 via IMEI, and android 4.4.2?

Another question: how to put android 4.4.2 ls980?

I await your response, and if I can help much better. Thank you very much!
[G2 General] Nigglenuts:
I also came from an optimus g pro... Are you saying that you wish to unlock it to use on another carrier? Or root it? If you don't have a custom recovery installed, you should be able to take the ota to get 4.4.2. Its much easier to root when on Kit Kat. Use TowelRoot. Its literally a one-click-method.
[G2 General] XxZombiePikachu:
I am pretty sure you are speaking about doing the sim unlock, now yes it is true that it cannot be unlocked via imei but there is a way to unlock, you can ota to kitkat or you can grab it from here and then sideload it from stock recovery afterwards just follow this guide to do the permanent sim unlock

p.s. all questions go in the q&a section
[G2 General] WellTrainedVC:
I am writing this on my SIM unlocked LG G2 LS980 working on AT&T. 4G speeds aren't that wonderful, but it is working well otherwise. I didn't do the IMEI unlock; I simply followed the instructions that you will find by searching the threads. Sorry I don't list the redirect. I too fell in love with this phone after purchasing one for my son. I'm using it more than my Note 3!

[T-Mobile LG G3] m3lover1:
Nandroid doesn't back up anything on the sdcard, internal or external. It only backs up your rom and apps and system settings. So any files you downloaded, pictures/videos you took, will be gone if you lose your phone and didn't back it up yourself either to another computer or to the cloud.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschloe101:
I have an HTC One. I was using it normally today, but got home and it was one percent. I plugged it up to charge and went to check a notification I had, and it turned off. It has happened before, and the charge light was on and it went straight to the screen where it shows the red battery and percent below it. This was normal - like I said, it's happened to me before. Then, it completely turned off instead of charging. A short time later, the orange charging light went off.

I plugged it up into the wall as advised a forum I was looking at for this problem, and apparently it is a common thing with these phones. I've let it charge for about an hour and it still isn't turning on and both the charge light and the red LED light have not come on at all. I tried to trick where I held it under my lamp light and held the power button and both the up and down volume buttons but it still hasn't turned on. Maybe I just haven't left it plugged up long enough?

Any advice? I use my phone a lot, so I really need it!
