[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] RaptorRVL:
That is correct, well.. when you upgrade you cannot downgrade to put it down in short.

HTC is the manufacturer of the phone and they sell it to other companies who put their name and logo on it and then sell it to the end user. Such as O2 who put their branding and software on it etc.

But Qtek is also a company (which is actually the direct selling point of HTC) that sells the devices. And they also bring out updates for the device.

So *ahem* in short, Qtek is nor a provider nor a manufaturer but actually a company owned by HTC to sell their devices. hmmm.. so actually they kinda are the manufacturer :D

If you don't want to have all the extra stuff O2 automaticly installs then you can always do a hard-reset. At some point it will install the software automaticly and you can cancel that.

Another way is to install the qtek rom, and then you get the basic stuff qtek put in there :) But that all kinda depends on your personal preferences. Personally I like the qtek roms which are quite bare regarding programs that are automaticly installed. Then again my phone is from Qtek, so I don't know it any other way :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] s0urce:
much thx Raptor, this is very intressting.

i think, i want to cook my own rom - not sure what it means, but i think, its just extract and repack different roms and ext roms.

i am informatik, and quite sure i am able to do this, now i ll just look for a thread or person who can explain me how to do this ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quiksandjesus:
Hey all.

I have a nexus 5 that refuses to charge wirelesslly in Kit Kat. I have 2 wireless chargers (not the google one) that work fine with my wife's Galaxy s4 (with the add on).

Every time I have tried my nexus 5 the lights flash from red to green over and over again. With these chargers the light is red when not charging and they turn green when charging a phone.

Anyway, here's the kicker. With the Android L preview it works fine. No issues. Went back to stock 4.4.4 and they no worky.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] draa2711:
Have you tried a 4.4.4 custom rom?

I am using two qi-chargers (original nexus 5 at work and a noname-orb from ebay at home) and can't reproduce your error... Both are working flawlessly with either stock or latest cm-nightly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave2metz:
Very strange. I have a cheap ass qi wireless charger that works flawlessly with any Rom. Hope you figure it out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quiksandjesus:
Agreed that it's super weird.

At first I thought my wireless was pooched but seeing it work with L made me wonder if there is another issue.

The chargers do recognize that something has been placed on them because the leds change for a second and then flash and the phone doesn't chime or indicate charging.

Also I can't use a custom rom because I need a stock rom to test work on for my client.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RokRovan:
I had this problem recently, probably out of different reasons. I removed my N5's back cover and did the GPS antenna fix (LINK if anyone needs it), and when I put it back the wireless charging didn't work. The charger kept flashing from green to red.

After some googling I found this:

Sorry if this doesn't help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quiksandjesus:
Fixed my problem. I installed multiboot to see if L would still work. My bootloader was locked so I had to wipe everything. Did a fresh 4.4.4 setup and then installed multirom and L.

Setup L and tested wireless charging. Works. Reboot into KitKat. Works.

No idea what happened before but it works now.

Thanks to all of you for the input.
[Moto X Q&A] fupingfei:
Hi, my moto x is with at&t locked bootloader. BL vision is 30.B7.

My moto x can connect with my pc but not RSD. So i have to flash it with cmd on my own.

I flash the 4.4.4 firmware http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/fxz-moto-x-4-4-4-att-xt1058-t2866752 .

Unfortunately, when i flash system.img , it always failed.

cmd saying: error: write_spare_skip_chunk: don't care size 89386544 is not a multiple of the block size 4096.

phone fastboot saying: mismatched PIV partition name for system.

how can i do ?
[Moto X Q&A] Transmissiontech:
I would advise you to read that thread you linked to or better yet post your problem in that thread instead of making a new thread.
[Moto X Q&A] fupingfei:
Thanks. I did both :laugh:
[Moto X Q&A] gregbradley:
Please post questions in the Q&A section

Thread moved
[Moto X Q&A] me myself and i:
firstly i advice using RSD but its up to you. try different sync cable, different usb ports install drivers, uninstall drivers and reinstall them reboot pc etc. drivers for moto x try one of these roms make sure you use the one for your device. open the .xml file and remove any line with "oem" and "var" in it
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
Are you using the command mfastboot to flash your system.img? The system image is too large for regular fastboot.
[Moto X Q&A] johnhauhnar:
Moto-X: Manual flashing system image

For the system image, you will have to use mfastboot instead of the regular fastboot command.
[Moto X Q&A] Mahesh8348:
can delete that particular line in xml file? i mean delete following the line in the xml file (Open with note pad)

<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />

if you have any doubts please check here i was unrooted using this method in my moto X.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Piteras00:
Hello there.

Today I've noticed that the left speaker of my headphones doesn't work when I plug them to my Mini Pro. I moved from CM10.2 to SJB 8.0 and found this out while testing stuff out. It's been some time since I've used my phone as a music player last time, but I never had any problems like this. Reverting to CM didn't help either.

I can't really find out whether this is a hardware or software issue. I think connector isn't dirty, wiggling the plug doesnt make any difference. Is there anything more I can try, besides flashing stock firmware? Did anybody have a similar problem?

EDIT: I've connected my PC to the phone as a BT headset, both channels work fine there.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fundre:
What headphone do you own? Most new headphones with mic won't work correctly on 2011 xperia. Those new headphones use CTIA, our phone uses OMTP. Long story short, you can only use stock headset or the ones without mic. You could buy OMTP to CTIA converter though. Look up on eBay.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Piteras00:
I use only standard stereo headsets, namely Creative Aurvana Live and Creative EP630.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] fundre:
They looked compatible to me. Maybe cleaning phone jack with alcohol would help, I don't know. Sorry
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Piteras00:
Thanks for your input either way. I have tried cleaning the jack with isopropyl alcohol, and also just in case left the phone without battery for some time (because why not).

The strange thing about this is I'm getting absolutely no sound whatsoever on the left channel, while the right one works like a charm. If i'd get any noise while moving the jack around, it would be pretty obvious sign of bad soldering, and therefore a HW problem.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Piteras00:
I still struggle with this problem. I have tried downgrading software to stock GB, didn't help. I've took it to some service centre, the folks there have replaced the jack, but it didn't help either. I wonder if i should pump any more money into this.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
I noticed this today and figured I would create a new post so that many of us who are sick of being messed around by Google who simply refuse to acknowledge the issue, can actually do something about it.

The only way big companies like Google actually do anything is when it becomes public. They hope that they can just sit out the warranty period and then brush it all under the carpet. If you are frustrated and think that they owe you a simple software fix (this is agreed to be the most likely culprit affecting the noise cancellation mic), then put your voice where it's heard and have them fix your phone so that it actually works the way it should have from the start! It's pretty clear that in the 'L' preview the issue still exists, which essentially means they don't intend to do a thing about it.

https://www.change.org/p/google-fix-microphone-issues-on-nexus-5-phones

Or sit back and let them screw you over for $400 and take your money for a new phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
So, what is the issue you're having?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
something affecting the noise cancelation mic?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
It's all in the link......

Quite surprised that with around 36,000 posts between the pair of you that you haven't come across probably the most talked about issue with the N5?

Really?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Well [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION] hit the nail on the head so not sure why you're including him in your 36,000 posts. Its pretty high profile issue. Hard to miss. There is a thread on page 1 of this forum every day.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinninbsod:
I haven't noticed that there's to many other software problems with this device☺ I tried this phone on stock two days and I said yeah it needs to be rooted or it's going out the window custom ROM with custom kernel is how this phone should be out of the box.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i just pointed it out to jd1639, im staying out of it past that. that removes the majority of the posts there, in one shot :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Anything that makes this phone even better is worth supporting. Best of luck.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdapimp:
The point is LG doesn't know how to perfect the Noise cancellation algorithm

Look @ their G2 and G3 same issue
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globespy:
The post was simply to give the numerous people with this issue a potential avenue for a fix. I didn't mean for this to be a debate.

Change.org does some pretty good things, and raising public awareness of a major company who is absolutely trying to ignore an issue that most of the support people know about when you call is just wrong.

Sign the petition,or don't. If you have a problem with the phone then you most likely will be interested.

Thanks.

[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:

Check this Reddit thread for more info

[UPDATE] 9.12.14 Here's the email I got, looks like I qualify. Just need to submit the info & wait for shipping.

[UPDATE] 10.12.14 The batteries are shipping
[G3 Accessories] IamPro:

way to screw the early adopters LG that made this phone a success.
[G3 Accessories] pimfram:
I'm tempted to Photoshop my receipt because they clearly don't care about us people who purchased earlier.
[G3 Accessories] bigkevbosky:
Something is wrong with the website anyway - I tried to submit and it goes to an error.
[G3 Accessories] iazybandit:
Same here. Bought 2 Verizon LG G3 for me and my wife and a AT&T LG G3 to send to China manufacturer to try and make PMA chips. So I would be able to get 3. Lol.
[G3 Accessories] pimfram:
I did a little magic and submitted mine. Guess I'll find out how stringent they are in checking before sending the items out.
[G3 Accessories] TKG26:
sucks no love in canada. And no love for early adoptors who paid full pop for the phone..... Since it launched at 179 it has dropped to 79$ on contract. So now those that waited get lower price and free battery and charger... that sucks

I got a free circle case from LG.ca at least....
[G3 Accessories] Jammin72:
It's obviously in response to the iPhone announcement today. Don't get so off-put by most likely very necessary marketing.

Hi everyone. I thought I would share what happened to me regarding this offer. I purchased the LG G3 on 9/4/2014 and so I called them and told them to give me the free battery and cradle or I would return my phone as it was not fair. They took down my info and a day later they called me and told me that since they have been getting a lot of calls they were extending it to customers who purchased it prior to the promotion. Give it a shot.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
I'll have to call about my other line, I'll see what they say :)
[G3 Accessories] oadam11:
I mailed the form in. I bought it 8/10/14 so hopefully what they told you on the phone will hold

Sent from my LG G3
[G3 Accessories] iazybandit:
Anyone else call and can confirm the same?

If they received a lot of complaints, you would think that they would change the terms and conditions. "prior to the promotion" is pretty vague. Is it a week before the promotion started, since launch?
[G3 Accessories] theredspecial:
I have a hard time believing this, I'm also interested if anyone else can confirm....
[G3 Accessories] TKG26:
Canada anyone call to ask for it.. Should cost them much. I dont thing theybsold many ;)
[G3 Accessories] UCLA1:
Why would I lie. Here is the email they sent me.

Dear Mr/Mrs. XXXXXXX

Thank you for choosing LG G3 for your mobile purchase.

After reviewing your case about the LG G3 Promotion, we are excited to extend the offer to you.

We will need some information from you. I have attached a template for you to fill out.

Please complete the template and send the email titled “LG G3 Battery Promo – Previous Purchaser” along with the attachment to lgg3promo@hsadusa.com

Also along with your email and attachment, if you could provide the proof of purchase with the email as well.

You will receive a reply within 48 hours upon receipt of your email.

Thank you and Life’s Good.
[G3 Accessories] theredspecial:
I really can't tell you why people feel the need to lie on the internet, but it's pretty common.

Thanks for posting that, I just called their customer service and it was like talking to a computer. The CSR couldn't comprehend what I was asking, so I'll try an email. I'm still within 30 days of my purchase so maybe I'll be in luck.
[G3 Accessories] Richieboy67:
It means what it says. In other words it means your status has not been determined.
[G3 Accessories] sweets55:
I got this reply yesterday after sending in my info a week ago. "We have received your request and are currently working on processing it in the order it was received. Even though your purchase date is out of the promotion period, we will be happy to review and let you know of the submission status in the next 3-5 business days." Guess mine is not determined as well. I wonder why some people are getting that.
[G3 Accessories] PedroDaGr8:
We all got that email. Give it a few more days and you will get an approved email. Don't worry!
[G3 Accessories] ElBeaner:
I called, they approved me sent me an email while on the phone and I resubmitted my info and got my approval email now.
[G3 Accessories] RyanEJ25:
I would guess in. Shipping takes about 4-6 weeks if I remember correctly. .
[G3 Accessories] sweets55:
I got approved today. I was confused on how it works. Seems like they send ya a extra email but I'm not complaining. lol

Thanks WinDroidGuy!
[G3 Accessories] digitaldroid:
I was just approved, had to do it again made a mistake the first time, but my promo is on the way in the mail!! Thanks for making this post!
[G3 Accessories] southern87:
Mine was approved today. Got the email from smsrebates that said 3-5 days but if you take that number and check it it will tell you. I had to submit mine twice because I sent a blank excel file back lol.
[G3 Accessories] inkdup102586:
Still no shipping confirmation?
[G3 Accessories] big70tom:
Anyone of you guys who really knows how to do this well , and wants to make some money, message me please. I'm for some reason not mentally strong enough to do this , but I'll gladly compensate someone who can get it done. Please don't criticize me, I love my phones, but I'm not very good with this stuff. I can make a Caterpillar D10 rip up some ground though
[G3 Accessories] Angus66:
I'm still a little baffled that I was approved a week ago (according the the online status page) and I've yet to receive any email stating the same.

Hats off to you sir! :good: It's pleasantly surprising to see such honesty on the interwebs.

Although I can't personally help you I'm sure someone here can/will.
[G3 Accessories] sweets55:
I think you can call or do live chat. Just read the 1st post a few times. If someone helps ya on here I wouldn't want them to see the information your sending LG. Can a friend help ya. I would type up the steps but I forget exactly how I did it and how LG replied back.
[G3 Accessories] Richieboy67:
I'm sure if you can operate a a d10 you can do this. The d10 is way more complicated friend.

All you have to do is submit a picture of your box and receipt and fill out a very short form with your info. Just use the link posted here in this forum or search Google for lg free battery promo.

After that if you still have an issue I'm glad to help personally.
[G3 Accessories] big70tom:
My problem is I bought mine on day 1, and don't have my receipt anymore, so I'm screwed. Anyone want to sell there charger?
[G3 Accessories] sweets55:
If you bought the phone at a store you should be able to get the receipt online or at the store. If you paid with credit or debit card you can get your bank to print it out.
[G3 Accessories] marv_in_lbc:
Exactly like sweets55 stated. I bought mine prior to the promo. I contacted LG and gave them a song and dance about how this is the best phone and I really like LG products yadda yadda... Anyway, I downloaded a copy of my credit card statement and used that for proof of purchase. They accepted it and approved my submission. Just waiting now to get it ... and a $50 rebate as well.
[G3 Accessories] psycho_asylum:
Mine was also day 1, at Verizon. On Verizon's website, you can go into Documents & Receipts on your account and pull up pretty much everything. That's what I used and was approved for the promo. Not sure how other carriers work but you can call them or go into the store and ask for a copy of the receipt if it isn't available online. All of the purchases are tied to your account provided you didn't buy it outright without activating it in store.
[G3 Accessories] jfriend33:
Lg people are very nice. I was away from laptop and rep actually filled out spreadsheet form for me and emailed it to me then I sent it in.

Still waiting on shipment confirmation. Haven't read one post where someone's received their battery.

Tom, why do you want the stock charger? I have a few recommendations you'll like better. I'd suggest Amazon, Sewell Direct mos spring micro usb cable 6' long. Pair that with an Anker AC charger.

Here's some links:

MOS Spring | Micro USB Cable - Aluminum Heads, Steel Spring Relief & Exoskeleton Braided Jacket - Deep Grey, 6 ft. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K0OVJHO/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_o3nnub0T24ASD

The last one comes with tons of cables. If you only have one device I'd probably get the lg original and the mos spring.
[G3 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
I was dishonest and it paid off. I scanned my receipt, then edited it in Adobe and MS Paint to change the purchase date from 7/16 to 9/16, and just got my congratulations confirmation overnight. Now all that's next is to wait for shipping confirmation.

Take that, LG!

I really didn't need this, though, but the dock seemed cool. I've had, for a while, the TrendOn brand battery charger and two spare batteries and they work just as well, if not better than the OEM battery.
[G3 Accessories] sweets55:
LoL
[G3 Accessories] BOOMHAUER1123:
Why would you need to? I purchased day one and sent in the correct info and they accepted. LG has been very good on this issue. Why the "take that"?
[G3 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
Because it was a light hearted comment? Lighten up.

And I changed my purchase date because because the promotion was for a very specific time frame that my day one purchase fell out of. It was a lot quicker than than giving LG a sob story and hoping they'd give me what should have been in the box in the first place.
[G3 Accessories] southern87:
So you are to lazy to submit original data? Pretty sure everyone outside of the time frame got it that is from the US.
[G3 Accessories] partylikeaninjastar:
Lazy because shopping a receipt is less effort than submitting a receipt that is two months out of the time frame for the giveaway.

What's up your ass?

Lighten up. Have a beer.
[G3 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:

[G3 Accessories] big70tom:
Finally got it . had to buy it from Amazon again. This time I paid for 2 day shipping, and it actually arrived. First time, 30 days after I ordered, still didn't get it. Anyway, really cool piece of equipment
