[LG Optimus 2x] Genie's:
This recovery will prevent Op2x from incompatibility with future's ROM.

This recovery is builded by my friend, Puri2013@xda (Puri@Naver) who can't upload this because of his travel to another country. (Because of this, he can't build AOSPA, too.)

What's New from 2.6.0.0 to 2.7.1.0:

- Improved Scrolling

- You can know how much of files are backuped/restored during backup/restore.

What doesn't work:

- You can't flash files from external storage: if you try that, a recovery reboot will happen.

File Download:

http://mega.co.nz/#!28MR3ILZ!_-2seCw_tTyQg9ZDfLRNaSIdZ8LgbZpkC2dvJ0XIHaA

(You should install MEGA app first if you try to download in phone. In PC, I recommend Chrome browser, not IE.)

How to apply:

- Just flash that .zip file in any recovery.

- Only for New Bootloader!!!!

If there any questions or another bugs, tell me.

I uploaded file in Android Development in SU660, too.

[Moto X Q&A] imbatman1982:
I have recently switched from Verizon to Straight Talk. For the first month I just used a cheap ST phone that I bought when switching. I have a Moto X that I love and want to be able to use it on ST. I used a Straight Talk AT&T sim in the Moto x from one of their BYOP kits. It worked, somewhat. With the AT&T sim I seemed to be running off of Sprint towers. Is this possible? I thought an AT&T sim would run off of AT&T towers? The reason I believe it was Sprint towers is because my house sits in the middle of approximately a 1 square mile area that Sprint does not cover. My Moto x picked up a signal as long as I wasn't in my neighborhood. Coverage was spotty on outer city limits too. Obviously this won't work for me. Any suggestions? I would be willing to buy another non Verizon Moto X if I knew that it would work on AT&T's towers using ST but don't want to risk spending the money. Thanks in advance.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Not possible at all to run off Sprint towers on a GSM phone.

If the Moto X isn't picking up AT&Ts towers, another device won't either. You are likely in an AT&T dead zone. If your Moto X is the 1053, 1058, or 1060, they are all quad-band gsm devices and support all frequencies AT&T uses (for gsm voice, at least). That's as good as its gonna get.
[Moto X Q&A] imbatman1982:
That's odd because AT&T has good coverage in my area. I guess it's a little different coverage for ST than if I had an AT&T contract plan. The reason I thought it was Sprint towers is because I was with a friend part of the day and when he didn't have a signal I didn't have service. He is never able to get a signal at my house. I tried the T-mobile sim with the same results.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaaKey:
Hello there, since I've had these issues with my s3 for quite some time (6 months or more), I never really cared for it's issues probably because I was not aware that at some point it will start bugging and it will fall behind the latest software upgrades (thus enhancing the various bugs etc which will make my device run faster and smoother)

Anyway, I would like to say that I am certainly no expert on this matter, so I will give my best to try to explain the problems that I have with this device:

1. I cannot connect it to Kies via USB cable (tried 2 cables, two diff pc's, both running win7 tho). It recognizes the device and I can clearly see GT-i9300 but it won't connect. It does connect to Kies wireless (after 10min+ so it's super slow, airDroid is lightning fast compared to it), tried diff sets of USB drivers (from old to newest ones - doesn't work).

2. When i bought the phone it was on chinese (I found out which language, software etc by regional code in the attachment below), so it also had some already installed apk's like UC browser for chinese market

3. I can not upgrade my software, even tho I get notifications all the time to upgrade it, the warning it gives me after trying to upgrade it is :

``PROCESSING FAILED``

In the end don't know if it's locked or smth

This is rather annoying, and I don't know what to do anymore... Of course my last option is to bring it to an expert but I thought to share this problem with you guys, and hopefully someone can shed some light on this matter

P.S. Info on the device on the attachments

Kindest regards,

RaaKey

[Sony Xperia M2] ReznorNInchNails:
I have problem while trying to create ftf. I downloaded Swisscom CH firmware via XperiFirm, it went ok, but after making bundle with FlashTool I get ftf file with only 49.9 MB? I included everything (no .ta files), selected phone from list, and it went ok, but size is not right. What else should I do?

I have to flash another firmware, because Sony update has left my phone without service. So I am hoping that another one will fix my problem.

My phone is Generic D2303 (unbranded, SIM free).
[Sony Xperia M2] ismithx:
I've downloaded the Customized MY version of the firmware, and I'm having problems creating the FTF file as well. The process stalls when the bundle is being created, on the boot_delivery.xml file. Not quite sure what to do, can anyone else bundle the firmware?

Thanks, I found it. Apparently problem was in bad download (I downloaded both 4.3 and 4.4 Swisscom CH firmwares and there was the same problem), and now I tried another firmware Vodafone DE and it seems to be ok, size is around 1 GB.

And it does not solve problem with SIM card.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickNothom:
I'm building a "Smart Mirror" that's running off of a Galaxy S4. Here's a picture of it: http://i.imgur.com/P92PPPm.jpg

I'm building connectivity to each of the device sensors so that when I start building content for the mirror it can access them. I have had success in getting the access I want to the proximity sensor. Basically when I put my hand over the device it displays a toast. I would like to do the same with face detection.

I don't care where or how many faces there are, I just want it to show a toast when there is a face.

Most importantly, I do not want a view of the camera anywhere at any time. I want this to be a completely invisible function to the user.

What is the easiest way to accomplish my goal?

[General Questions and Answers] UKTone:
http://www.informationweek.com/wireless/drop-your-cell-plan-and-still-use-your-phone/d/d-id/1107537?

Is there a way to talk and/or text without a phone plan or for free with a plan like freedompop?

If so, how could you receive calls? Is it possible to keep your number?

I typically leave my phone at home, so it's always on wifi. I'm currently paying for data and have unlimited everything with a family plan ($55/m for the three of us, with T-Mobile).

I do not like contracts, especially this one since upgrading phones cost, that used to somewhat offset the fact they charge more for contracts than no contracts.

If we can get rid of the $165 bill all together, that'd be wonderful.

Thank you all in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] macallik:
If you live in US, then Google Hangouts is now your best friend.
[General Questions and Answers] Merudo:
If it is on wifi only then you don't need a contract in the first place... you get your data from your home internet, and as was said you can use hangout + google voice number to send texts and receive/make calls via Hangouts.

If you add FreedomPop (Sprint phone only) you will be able to get data/texts/calls without wifi.

My setup is a S3 on FreedomPop with a google voice number & Hangouts, without the FreedomPop app installed. Instead I have Hangout set up to make and receive calls through voiceip.

[RAZR HD Original Android Development] 2useless:
I tried the manual version, but no luck on my RAZR MAXX HD with a stock ROM.

After rebooting, I initiate the 'Mobile Hotspot' and the text goes grey for a bit and then goes back to normal without activating the hotspot.

UPDATE: I took the 'build.prop' from the '183.46.15_xt926_tether_twrpinstall.zip' and used that instead of the one in the '183.46.15_xt926_tether_manual.zip.zip' and it worked.

UPDATE2: I think (and I could be way off here) the one in the manual version doesn't work because it is missing the line:

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Does that sound about right?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] Topsnake:
Yes you are correct. Don't know what happen there. Fixed the zip for the manual install and reuploaded. Thanks

[RAZR HD Original Android Development] Trebuchette:
Just wanted to say, this has been working like a champ until this afternoon. I ended up installing an Xposed module to get tether back, but the only change I had made was trying to install Nova (launcher) and, like an idiot, Firefox again. XPrivacy usually stops anything funky from happening, but I had quite a scare when I'd lost native tether for a bit.

Anyone else? —Anyone else even using Razr HD anymore? I got my latest new replacement from Asurion earlier this year, and it's been smooth sailing until today. I don't take OTAs (obviously: my build is ancient), but not sure why this exploit stopped working on my phone so suddenly.

Oh, still appreciate the exploit! Danke! :good:
[Samsung Gear 2] Assimilated1:
There are many good watch <-> phone camera apps available now.

I'd like to see something that would admittedly be applicable to a relative few, but has a high "cool" factor.

I recently bought an off-camera flash device called Nova (https://www.novaphotos.com/presskit/). It works VERY well, but their primary focus (pun intended) is on the iPhone platform. They have released a bare-bones Android application, but what I think is really important is that they released an Android SDK as well: https://github.com/nova-device/nova-android-sdk

I was wondering if any of the Tizen devs would be interested in adding this functionality into their apps? Although this would be a much needed accessory for a Gear 2 with built-in camera, what I am hoping to see is one of the apps on my Gear 2 Neo take a pic with my S5 using this flash and/or the built-in flash. I understand that the time involved would not be worth what little income it may generate, but it could be good for bragging rights or just to learn as well.
[General Topics] szturchen_pl:
Hello,

I was wondering if there is a possibility to know when a call is forwarded to me. For example on Nokia phones there is a sign ">" before the number of caller, and by that I always knew when a call was forwarded to me. Is it possible to do something like this on WM5 ?? I think it would be universal to all WM5 equipped pocketPCs with phone, but if not I'm using TyTN.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions :)

[Moto 360] Ichibahn SLC:
My bluetooth range on the 360 is pretty amazing to me. My phone is downstairs in my room and I receive notifications upstairs in my kitchen. That is about 40ft in a straight line with the floor and one wall in between. Anyone else with amazing range?

Ps. I have the pebble steel band on mine.

On a side note: I broke the back on one of mine. Not sure what to do. Should I call moto to see if they will fix it?
[Moto 360] daijizai:
And it works in the inverse! With my phone upstairs in my room, I receive notifications downstairs in my kitchen!
[Moto 360] ekarelis:
I noticed that too. The bluetooth range is excellent. Also, I love how it warns you that you may have forgotten your phone when you do get out of range. That has spared me at least 2 missed calls this week...
[Moto 360] pjwoohoo:
Huh, weird....mine ends up disconnecting when I leave my phone in the room and I go into my office or vice versa. It's a one-story house, so mabye 30 feet away? But I've noticed that it tends to disconnect from my phone at times even though on the Android Wear app on my phone it still says connected. But I end up not getting any notifications or can't use the "OK Google" feature. I have to either reconnect it or reset the device.
[Moto 360] Ichibahn SLC:
I've noticed range is better on the nexus 5 than the lg l90. Much better.
[Moto 360] pjwoohoo:
I have a Nexus 5 as well...I wonder if it's because I'm running Cyanogenmod. The only reason I did that is because my battery runs a lot better than with the stock Android for some reason. Usually it'd be down to about 30% by mid day with bluetooth on and I tend to have 15 hour days at work.
[Moto 360] erikiksaz:
Do you notice if the watch takes longer to recognize your speech with the L90 than the N5? Does it mess up more often with the L90?
[Moto 360] Ichibahn SLC:
I believe mine does. I just sold my n5 in preparation for the next one. Seemed to also run better on android L.
[Moto 360] furiousgtz:
yeah the range is very good.
[Moto 360] 3phemera1:
Seems great so far. I'll be about 40 feet away and I'll still be able to reply to text messages. So far, in fact, that I'm wondering how far it takes for me to get a notification that I may have forgotten my phone.
[Moto 360] pjwoohoo:
Should i get in contact with Motorola? Today mine's disconnect twice while my phone was in my pocket. I was thinking of contacting them either way since I've found about 4 dead pixels.
[Moto 360] jt3:
Wait, it warns you that your phone is out of range? Are you talking about the little cloud icon, or an actual warning? I never got a warning, so I downloaded Wear Aware, but if the 360 will do that out of the box, I must have missed something.

As for the thread topic, I noticed the excellent range on my first night. I can leave my Nexus 5 in my bedroom on the charger, and I can use my watch from practically my entire house. I don't live in a mansion or anything, but it's still a rather large 2-story home. At first, I thought Wear Aware wasn't working, but I tested some voice searches, and sure enough, I was still connected. I really didn't expect that kind of range! Heck my wi-fi barely covers my entire house! (Although, I still do get the 3-4 random disconnects per day, where Wear Aware will show an alert when I'm literally within arm reach of my phone.)
[Moto 360] Qbancelli:
I also would like to know if the watch does this without a 3rd party app.

I had to install an app to alert me when it is disconnected.

I was at a subway with my friend and we were testing out the Pear app. I told him to keep walking away until bluetooth went out. He went all the away into the bathroom and it still didn't go out. I'm guessing 20-30 feet range.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this in because this is my first post as a member but here we go. I noticed that when using my mono earbuds with my nexus 5 they work perfectly fine, but the stereo earbuds don't work at all. Is this a problem with just me or just a limited feature of the phone? The stereo earbuds sounding better to me than mono and I prefer them. Also, the stereo earbuds worked perfectly on my nexus 7(2012 edition). Please help, I'd like to use the pink ones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marleyfan61:
First of all....Mono earbuds? I've never even heard of those. Anyway, I've never had any problem with any headphones I've used on the N5. There may be something wrong with either the headphones or the headphone jack on your N5.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemetriusGotGame:
Mono are the earbuds that transmit the same sound through both earbuds. Stereos transmit bass through one and treble through the other if I'm not mistaken. You can tell the difference between them by looking at the Jack of them and counting the number of rings they have. 3 rings=stereo 2=mono
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koragg618:
I'm pretty sure Stereo actually has independent sound on each side (Left and Right).

Try this app to check if your stereo is working: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasonfarrell.stereotest
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I don't think you understand stereo.

Mono plays the same through left and right speakers

Stereo plays the left channel through then left speaker and the right channel through the right speaker.

To play stereo , you need a stereo recording, stereo amplifier and stereo headphones. Stereo was invented in the late 1800's and industry released recording, stereo has been the norm for many, many years.

I've never in my life come across mono headphones and I haven't seen a device produced that only plays mono (that isn't a single speaker radio or centre speaker on a 5 channel audio setup) in my lifetime. Some headphone jacks have additional sleeves above and beyond the number required for stereo. A mono jack has one sleeve, one ring and the tip like this

As you can see, the other end of this is stereo. You cannot plug a mono jack into a stereo socket because stereo socket will have a left and right connection which a mono jack would bridge together because the mono sleeve on a jack is the same size as the left AND right on a stereo jack combined.

So, yes the nexus 5 is stereo. All your headphones are stereo. Every "media player" with a headphone jack going back to the first ever Sony walkman in the early 1980's is stereo

Looking at HiFi speakers, some are bi-wired to separate the bass and the treble to different cones within the same speaker cabinet. You still get left bass and right bass if you're playing a stereo source. Maybe that's what you're confusing.
