[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastSilmaril:
I am still using the KitKat firmware. Band 13 most definitely works with it - when I made that comment months ago, Band 4 was simply preferred, and I just didn't realize it. I think it's preferred since the 1700/2100 spectrum of Band 4 (billed 'XLTE') allows for higher speeds than the 750 Mhz of Band 13, even if Band 13 is easier to pick up. I have no reason to believe that it doesn't work with the newest Lollipop fw, as long as you enter the APN settings manually.

You say you're going to use your number with a pageplus phone - how exactly is that kind of forwarding set up? Just curious. I am using my number with Google Voice and while that works well with two LTE bars or more, the situation becomes precarious with anything below that. Wi-Fi is also hit and miss unless you configure QoS in your router for VoIP properly, which I never got around to doing (but still, like you, having unlimited data anyway, I rarely have Wi-Fi on unless necessary for whatever reason).

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

I'm using a rather helpful app called 'LTE Discovery' to identify what LTE band I'm using at a given time, and to switch between them (by power-cycling the radio, though it will autoswitch back to Band 4 if it is strong enough and detected - I'm not sure how to modify this behavior.) You'll also need to manually disable every radio other than LTE using the built-in tool for that, but there are many 'shortcut' style apps for that purpose, like 'Phone Testing'.

And one thing: I found reception on this phone to be inferior to that of my Moto X. Otherwise I'm quite happy with it, with the exception of the camera and general ergonomics of a more squarish thing without a tapered back. My only mistake was in getting a drab color like white. Tried to fix that a bit with a case, but it ain't the same.

The phone will show up in your account as 'NON-VZW DEVICE' but they haven't given me any trouble over it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastSilmaril:
Sorry I missed your post. Did you ever try this? There is no reason this won't work as long as you disable all radios other than LTE (presumably so that Verizon detects it as an LTE device and bypasses their whitelist) and manually enter APN settings.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christopher Price:
Thanks - I had figured it was just preferring Band 4... which actually is Verizon's preference because they want non-XLTE devices prioritized to Band 13. Band 4 is faster because it's less congested currently. Looking forward to mine.

On Verizon if you all *72 + Forwarding Number it will forward your Verizon number to another line. If you then SIM swap to a LTE-only device (like a tablet, etc), on Verizon that will insta-forward your line to another phone. For me, that's a Page Plus device.

One important note, on Verizon postpay, call forwarding counts as airtime minutes... even if the Verizon line is not used for the call. This is preferable for me as I never use all my minutes, and it's much cheaper than per-minute call forwarding fees on other carriers.

I then have that Page Plus number as setup with Google Voice, so I'm basically using my Verizon line as data-only at this point.

My plan is to carry a Z3 Compact for data and an iPhone 5S for voice on either TracFone BYOP or PagePlus. My OG Moto X will then be in my go bag for swapping in to either line when I need it for either coverage or battery reasons.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janine Belle:
I got a new LG G2 and I noticed that it is quite laggy and slow when opening menus and settings etc.

I run stock rom with android 4.4.2. I rooted it and I have only few apps installed.

I'm also running Greenify.

Also the battery life is quite poor with screen on time of only about 4-4.5 hours although brightness is on minimum.

How can I make the LG G2 smooth and last at least 6 hours with screen on? I expected more from this phone :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redduc900:
Go into Developer options and change Windows animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale to .5x or Off. The Developers options menu is normally hidden, and can be unlocked by going to About phone--> Software information--> Tap "Build number" 7 times. And under Location, check to make sure the mode is set to Battery saving instead of High accuracy.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Janine Belle:
thanks! now it's much better! The lags are gone!

why did those dumb developers from LG make such a crap
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redduc900:
LG caters to more to the folks that prefer fancy animations over performance. Something else that can cause lag is the stock weather widget on the primary homescreen.
[Wear OS General] NekoCode:
Hey guys,

If Apple will not release iWatch this year, I'll buy Moto 360. But I saw that Android Wear is not working with iOS. So after googling information and looking into THIS thread I came up with an idea.

We have Facebook API ( and another ones, why not ), what if try to make application for Android Wear and iOS ( I am not talking about publishing it into App Store ) which syncs with Android Wear. Umm, I think it is possible, why not. What are your suggestions?
[Wear OS General] Charlus97:
Well, during a certain time (maybe it's still the case), Android phone weren't able to connect by bluetooth to an Iphone to make any file transfert, etc.

Just because Apple put security on the bluetooth to avoid non IOS devices to work with them.

So, even if Google wanted to make Android wear compatible with IOS, I'm sure that Apple wouldn't allow them to do it.
[Wear OS General] FindingForever:
Perhaps not officially, but the community could absolutely develop something like this. Hell they already did it for the galaxy gear. Just standard notifications would be fine for me.

[Wear OS General] MakeBeatz:
The ignorance lol, yeah because Apple has never ever supported anything google ever before:rolleyes:
[Wear OS General] javispedro:
Actually, Google has refused to open the Wear protocol, which puts them in the at least as evil as Apple camp.
[Wear OS General] Charlus97:
Isn't Android wear open source like Android is ? Or this protecol is "secured" in the play store services (that is closed source) ?

But yea, if they refused to open the Wear protocol, they are in the "bad" camp too. :/
[Wear OS General] javispedro:
Play services. And the only parts of Wear I've seen opened is the kernel (which they're forced to open) and core stuff (which is the same as in other androids). Nothing remotely wear specific such nor user facing programs.

Not a good moment to be looking down at Apple.

HELP!!?

I have this problem too. I was flashing the stock 12.1.A.1.266 ftf using flashtool and i did not have enough battery maybe because my phone was permanently in flsh mode. I somehow managed to flash the ftf by trying again and again But now the center led is always on and green. It blinks when A notification comes. It stati on even after switching off the phone. And i even flash Cm11 in case it could have been A kernel problem. Can anybody help?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rmorby:
Hi all :)

Does anyone know if there is a way to control the length of time that the phone vibrates for? I rarely use my phone with the sound on (meetings etc.) and I realise that it is easy to recognise the difference between an incoming phone call and a notification by the length (and repeat) of the vibration going on in the phone's holster....

The notification vibrate seems to go on for about 5 seconds, whereas the fone ringing vibrate is much shorter and repeats at reasonable intervals.

Is it possible to modify this so that it does short pulses instead of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!! I don't know what the battery consumption is like if one would receive say 30 notifications per day as opposed to just a few. It feels like a reasonably serious motor that is turning for this vibration.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mnez:
I had the same thoughts, but little research as I am struggling with more serious issues of my TyTN...

Registry does not seem to have anything concerning vibration length.

It would be surely nice to control vibrations... some much less complex devices have such a feature from ages ;)

Hello fellows. I recently *revived* a Samsung SII after a really long time (before that, I had dropped it in the sea and it wouldn't open :P).

Or that's what I think so...can anyone tell me what's that battery's use? What is is useful for? I tried to google but I found no answer. Thank you in advance! Cheers! ^^

well first youre not supposed to use adb in the bootloader thats what fastboot is for. ensure that youre in fastboot and not hboot mode and if your drivers are installec properly you will see fastboot usb and is you run fastboot devices your device will appear when plugged into the computer. also you dont have to be on a stock rom to sim unlock just have to be on a sense rom.

Thanks I have gone through the tutorials and sim unlocking doesn't work. Its not the same as when unlocking an AT&T or T-Mobile phone when you put in the new sim and it asks for a code to unlock, enter code ----- Done.

So right now my TWRP is frozen basically can't use my touch to use it it's frozen.

Should I just RUU back to 5.0.3.6 stock....?

Yup, listen the video from 21.00 mint.

He told past version can also expect/ will get the next L upgrade after New Moto G update:good:.

What i think is "Probability for Legacy Moto G upgrade is more, since New & Legacy version have same base H/W configuration, Except Camera & SD card slot (On major end of change) so If 2nd Gen is updated than it will not be a big deal for Motorola to upgrade the legacy product also.. "

[Moto G General] djpailo:
I thought he meant how long will it be supported til rather than when the L update would be released. Anyhow, either way, the L update would probably occur after the Moto G2 so dec/ Jan does seem reasonable. Of course it might take longer if you're locked with a carrier as we've already seen with 4.4.4.
[Moto G General] sonygoup:
Sorry I meant how we'd still get support for the device as seen in the pass where a lot of Moto devices lose support quickly
[Moto G General] bozzykid:
They will at least support it as long as L is the active release. I'm guessing at least another year. And since the new Moto G is the same basic chipset as the current version, maybe even longer.

So I can see many people are happy with the moto g, I just got mine and actually felt bad, like I was a trader to Sony! They have always been my favorite since cell phones first came out pretty much, I am however enjoying the G for the most part, only thing is....I thought the G was the x I think. Is the X a better phone than the G? Should I stick with the G, or get the X? Honestly tho, I'd really like if the G had T9 as well, any apk suggestions for good t9 keyboards? The ones in play all suck.

Thanks everyone! I am kind of glad I made the switch from Sony,? lol
[Moto G General] GoneTomorrow:
The Moto X is the higher end phone to the Moto G. Not necessarily better however. Better for some people might not be better for you. The Moto X has a faster SoC and more RAM, a slightly larger screen and additional always-on voice functionality. Software wise they are essentially the same.
