GPRS Settings

This worked for me using Molski's 3.2

Goto Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Add new ISP...

Give it a name (T-Mobile)

Select Cellular Line (GPRS)

Next

APN = internet2.voicestream.com (whichever you like)

Next

Next

Finish

Be sure to leave username, password, domain, etc... all blank

Using just this will work sometimes.

You need to also add wap.voicestream.com and an auto picker will install and based on what you're doing, the proper data connection will be used.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] peraltah:
This is strange I never had to use the internet2 apn. I just use the wap.voicestream.com and it works fine. Is anyone that is using both noticing any type of difference in connection?

ondemand, change down_differential to 70 .. this slows down the 'race to zero' effect of the governor.. setting can be changed easily with an app like trickster, the default setting on kitkat is 10

this will smooth stuff right out, especially games and general scrolling.. unfortunately will eat battery a bit

try a simple game like original temple run to see the difference before and after
[Moto G General] Meuuks13:
Yes, I am a noob...

'change down_differential to 70 .. this slows down the 'race to zero' effect of the governor.. '

Whaaaat?
[Moto G General] meangreenie:
basically it makes the cpu governor wait longer when cpu usage is lower before clocking down the cpu.. remember this happens in milli seconds.. sometimes jumping/jerking/lagging in a game can be because the cpu is constantly being down and up clocked.

Oh..I got it..I appreciate your effort but here we are looking for exact battery and CPU stats :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djollofman:
Hello guys !

Last Sunday I bought a LG G2 D803 (Canada Telus version). Phone had jelly bean installed in it, was rooted (didn't know at point), was accepting any sim (made a few call with it). When I got home I connected it to the wifi and did the OTA update to kitkat. I found the phone stuck upon reboot to the lg logo. I used LG flash tool to put it back to stock and I have the phone now running kitkat (root lost). Now here is what is happening:

- Phone doesn't recognize any of the sims I have tried (Tried Rogers, ChatR, and Koodo). It doesn't everything else but says "No sim card"

- I checked about phone and I can see the IMEI and baseband and all that (it's not null nor void)

- I turned it off several times removed the sim for a while put it back and turn it on again no luck

- I used the flash tool to try to downgrade to jelly bean and no luck with that.

I am pretty sure that this is not a hardware problem (at least I hope). I am out of ideas though. Any suggestions as to what is causing the phone not to read sim cards and possible solutions?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djollofman:
Got it to work

This is what I did (I hope it helps someone who is stuck in the same situation):

1. Rooted phone by using Kingo App

2. Installed TWRP 2.7.0 with the AutoRec App

3. Rebooted into custom recovery

4. Did a wipe (except for data)

5. Fixed permissions

6. Turned it off

7. Removed sim for a couple of minutes

8. Put back sim and boot

Working now!!!

Has anyone been able to backup using Titanium. Titanium Pro tells me "Backup interrupted...not enough space." I have lots of space. I have tried all the google search solutions and none work.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] iammudd:
I have the same problem. Initially, I thought that the sdcards were not mounted (for su root) but that wasn't the issue.

TB will currently backup VIRTUAL items (e.g. Accounts, WiFi access points) which have the TB logo next to it. It seems to fail for all other items.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] cr2069:
Same problem here. According to this post:

the small app called sdfix could solve the problem. I haven't tried yet.

Sorry, I've already tried sdFix along with other possible fixes.

(see rooting thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55286180&postcount=55 and http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55339398&postcount=85)

sdFix fixes the issue with not having write permission to the EXTERNAL SD card. TB is able to write to both INTERNAL and EXTERNAL sd cards -- for VIRTUAL items but it may not have sufficient permission for backing up apps, etc. I sent a log to TB support a few days ago without reply.

Too bad, seems to be TB's problem. Waiting for any progress...The main reason I want rooting is to use TB, but it's not working...
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] iammudd:
TB will now work if you RE-root your device:

Use SuperSU (settings option) to fully un-root.

Use Modding.MyMind's TWRP custom recovery from http://xdaforums.com/ascend-mate2/orig-development/2014-09-22-teamwin-recovery-project-t2885144

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot TWRP_MT2-L03_RECOVERY.img

Backup your stock recovery.

Backup your stock bootloader.

Backup your system.

When you reboot, TWRP will notice that you're NOT rooted and ask if you wish to be rooted. Choose YES.

Reboot to System.

Start SuperSU and follow the prompts to update SuperSU binaries.

Good luck but you assume all risks. If there are errors in the above instructions, please reply in this thread.

Thanks again to all those involved in bringing TWRP to this device.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] foltz61:
Shouldn't it be "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_MT2-L03_RECOVERY.img"?

I like the above method though because you get to back up the original recovery first. Just reboot to bootlloader and do "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_MT2-L03_RECOVERY.img" after the backup.

On another note, Titanium Backup still fails for me.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] iammudd:
Yes, fastboot boot TWRP_MT2-L03_RECOVERY.img allowed me to try it out first. If it had failed, then hopefully I would still have had the stock recovery. (After playing around with TWRP a bit, I DID eventually flash it.)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] iammudd:
Just now, TB failed again (insufficient storage error).

Had to rerun SdFix to check the platform.xml modifications, FULLY UNROOT and then RE-rooting with TWRP and reinstalling SuperSU again.

Now TB is working again. Very strange. (Will report back if I find out what triggered the problem.)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] gale2000:
TB still didn't work for me after flashing recovery and rerooting. What did work was:

Set backup path to /data/media/0/TitaniumBackup.

Had to change owner on data and media and 0 to Root.

Changed permissions to read write and execute for owner, group, and other just to be safe.

I don't know if all of this was necessary, but it it working now.

I tried the same thing for the sdcard1, and Titanium said backup successful, but I couldn't find the backup on sdcard 1???
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] arcadesdude:
Same problem and this also fixed it for me thanks
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] iammudd:
This workaround has been made obsolete. See next post:

I didn't know what the drawbacks are to using this folder so I was initially reluctant but I've given up and went down this path as well. However, I've reduced some permissions and here's what appears to be working for me:

Use ES Explorer to create the new folder and change its permissions to rwx for group and others. (I didn't need to change owners for any of the folders.)

Use ES Explorer to TEMPORARILY add read-only permission to /data for OTHERS.

Change TiBu backup folder location by manually navigating to the new folder.

Once the new folder has been selected, I restore /data to its original permissions. (The read permission was only needed temporarily for TiBu to find the new folder.)

Copying the files back to my PC, I can see that the zip files for the apks appear to have "reasonable" apk sizes (i.e. not zero-length as before).
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kemonine96:
I ran across this thread while digging into a Titanium Backup "Insufficient Storage" error and digging into an error thrown by Helium backup. In newer versions of SuperSU there is an option "Mount namespace separation" that's enabled by default. Running su and ls in a terminal shows that the /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/sdcard1 mount points don't come through into the root name space. Unchecking this option and rebooting will let both sdcards into the root namespace fixing the problem with Titanium backup.

Still trying to figure out what's going on with Helium. I have a hunch it may be due to use of a password without encryption, not sure yet.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] iammudd:
Thanks, this appears to have done the trick. It was very baffling when TiBu would work for some tasks but not others. Glad you stumbled onto this thread.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kemonine96:
And another follow up for those using Helium or looking for an "adb backup" based solution

This device does not appear to include the full adb backup stack. From some limited testing tonight the pop-up prompt when running "adb backup' or using Helium Backup does not produce prompt on the device so it just fails. This is a known problem on some devices and it's too bad Huawei decided this wasn't a necessary inclusion.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nrfitchett4:
helium has never worked right for me. I bought it sight unseen since he's such a great dev, but just could not get it to work either rooted or unrooted. I did learn how to do adb backup though because if that.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kemonine96:
Were you able to get adb backup to work at all? I never was able to get it to work.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Nitefire77:
I solved my titanium backup issues by going into SuperSU, then settings for SuperSU, and unchecked the mount namespace seperation box, then reboot

It worked just fine for me. Used it to backup kids unrooted phones. That's been a couple years though.

I see on Toast you have to use the Skin with the name exposed 'TOAST' on the bottom.

But its more customization and much more options than the DBRAND.

I receive now my DBRAND skin, and It fits with perfection and are really good quality, the wood seens to be real because the skin of 3M have details in high relief. Very good company.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Modify_inc:
I have been using Unlock with WiFi on my Galaxy S3 using a 1 letter password with no issues. Please don't judge me for using such a simple password :)

Anyhow, I now have a Galaxy S4 and just got it all setup last night. Installed Unlock with WiFi, entered my 1 letter for the password, and now I appear to be locked out of my phone.

At the lock screen, when I type just 1 letter and press the return key, it just erases the letter like I didn't type anything. This continues up to 3 characters. If I type 4 or more, then I get a message, Wrong Password. So this tells me the S4 must only recognize 4 or more characters, yet Unlock with WiFi still allows you to enter one 1 character for the password. I have sent an email to the developer, but I was hoping someone from here might be able to shed some light on the matter. I 'm curious why or how this could have happened.

How do I get back into my phone? I have already tried the Android Device Manager, but my phone never receives the new lock. I know this because it allows you to enter a message that will be displayed on the lock screen, and I never receive the message. I also tried AndroidLost but no luck. It apparently thinks my phone is offline and none of the commands sent are successful on my phone.

Also, my phone is rooted if that helps. Just rooted it last night thanks to the help of this forum.

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Modify_inc:
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think any of that is going to work. It either requires a recovery partition to be installed or USB Debugging enabled.

I had USB Debugging on, but after I had everything setup on my phone I turned it off. I didn't install a recovery partition.

I have decided to just reset it and wipe it clean, since it's still like new and I have no data or pictures on it. Though I do dread fine tuning all my settings, reinstalling all my apps and setting everything back up the way I had it.

Anyhow, not sure how you reset the phone though. I thought after you enter the pin code wrong so many times, it will ask you to reset the phone. Anyone know the limit?

When I enter the code wrong after 5x, it tells me to wait 30 seconds, and then tells me a total of how many times I have entered the wrong code. I currently have entered the wrong code 30x and all it says is wait 30 seconds and try again.

Seriously, that sounds like it's going on indefinitely! If so, what can I do at this point?

I'm still waiting to hear back from the developer of the app that contributed to all of this.

Thanks

Hi,

I was all set to buy the Oppo Find 7a, and then the Moto X 2014 got released. Now i'm in two minds. I'm looking for a good camera and a good battery. HELP!
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] DroidSK:
Oppo find 7a is still on jellybean 4.3. From what i have seen motorola's support for devices is better and have the mist recent android. Since it is almost stock android software experience is much better.

I have been using oppo find 7a since may. Color os which it is shipped with, is a fork of android 4.3 and is buggy. Only redeeming factors are an awesome camera app and maxxaudio. Additionally coloros also drains battery. I have been using cm11 for almost a month. With viper i dont miss maxxaudio. Still looking for a good camera app.

On the other there are a bunch of custom roms to choose from if you wish to go that route.

Given my experience i would choose the moto x for a better software experience. .

Not sure where you are located. One more reason for me to choose oppo was their support for td lte, 2300 MHz which airtel uses.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Uh60m Pilot:
I would wait till reviews tell how well the 2300mah battery will fair in day to day use. The oppo is not the best, but it has a user replaceable battery.

I am all about the find 7 camera. I could not accept anything less.

I completely agree with the software on the moto. Much nicer than oppo. I am on 1.2.5i due to touch issues and do not have bugs. I do miss my nexus 4 though.
