gps fix is fast and stable? i am reluctant to install the rom. i use the b634 for now,. has awesome battery life 1 day or so.. how much battery is on this rom?

I think all kitkat roms are the same about consuming battery,I have solved gps fix and stable problem with an anohter network location apk,copy system/app by any root explorer,change permission and restart phone,and then gps will be okey, use any kitkat stock rom network location apk

works Threema on your P6 with MIUI V5 Kitkat 4.4.2? WhatsApp works but Threema can't send or receive messages. the link-icon is always red also.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henridoug:
Hello, guys!

I'm facing a real hard issue with a brazilian Galaxy SIII GT-I9300. (international model)

Last night I did the CWM tutorial, and then I installed a custom ROM based on 4.4.4 KitKat.

Everything works great, but I lost the IMEI in this process.

I lost the entire night reading about ways to get my original IMEI restored, and I tried to use some tools from the XDA fórums.

Anyway, I had a serious problem with USB debugging function, and after a few tries, I got the phone being connected with Windows again.

Now, every time I try to use NV-items reader_writer, I can get the phone connected but it still can't read the phone.

the message "Failed....Phone does not Answer" shows up when I click the Read button.

I used the *#0808# in the dial app to get USB settings but when I choose the "RMNET + DM +MODEM" option, Windows says that could not install drivers for my "Unknown Device", and the RV-items reader_writer could not access the phone.

Please, I beg you help me!

I lost an entire night trying to solve this, but I can't get over this point.

I got Null IMEI values right now!

EDIT: If I force the DM mode via USB settings, Windows says that can't install drivers for the device. NV item reader_writer still saying that the Phone isn't responding for the Restoring Process

P.S: I already did the 226.txt with the phone original IMEI for use with NV item reader_writer

EDIT2: I just found is a Factory Mode in the last reboot!!! What it means?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henridoug:
Not even Kies can help me...

Even with Kies, I'm facing problems!

There's nothing in the world that makes my recent installed Kies connect to the Galaxy S3.

I was trying to make a restore with Kies!

But even this is not working...

What should I do? Please, help me guys!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
Take it to a service center for repair. Nothing here can fix a corrupted efs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitiin92:
I had a similar problem last week, and if you don't have a backup there is nothing you can do but take it to the repair service. However, you can try in some phone stores. Some of them has a device called box with which they can restore your IMEI and it's way cheaper than Samsung's service. It worked for me.

Good luck dude.

PD: I've heard that when you flash CM roms it backs up you efs automatically to your internal memory, but I've never found it, give it a try if you want.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darke5tShad0w:
No this is not true. CM does not touch the efs or modem so it has no need to.

To backuo efs you need to manually do it from recovery or with apps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semo.pz:
I know that this handset is not release yet but I'd like to know if there would be support for it from the community. I'm excited about it because I've been waiting for a handset that seems to meet all my niche requirements:

Medium size screen (4.5")

ARMv8 instruction set (Snapdragon 410)

Removable battery (According to quick set up manual)

MicroSD slot (full size SD would have been nice but this is good enough)

Dual Sim (not sure if it will be available in the UK though :( )

I know the screen is not the best and it probably won't support Qi charging but I don't think any other handset has all the aforementioned features. I'm not trying to sell the handset but this is in anticipation of posts like "why not get a Nexus" or "just get a Moto G"

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imTos:
Solution?

So, I was searching Google for OT 5042 root (the internal name of Alcatel OT Pop 2 or Orange Roya (NOS Roya in Portugal)), and I've found these instructions on a russian forum. I have not tested them myself, but they do seem very legit, so if anyone who knows exactly what he's doing or has no fear of losing the phone can follow it up.

Disclaimer: The procedure that follows has not been yet tested by me. Proceed at your own risk. You are fully responsible for what happens to your phone from now on. If you have some knowledge on russian, please help translating the board mentioned on the Youtube video description (/watch?v=8tD4kR33vVE).

Note on translation: This post was initially writen in russian and translated with Google translate with some fixes here and there made by me. I'm not a native english speaker and therefore some engrish may be present. Please forgive me for it.

Note to users: This tutorial is regarding the dual SIM version of this phone. It may not work with the single SIM one.

Root dual SIM Alcatel Alcatel OneTouch 5042D POP 2 smartphone

Author: ruslan_3_ from 4pda.ru

Procedure:

1. Download the attached .zip file and extract it to some folder on your computer.

1.1. Install the phone's adb drivers (not needed under Linux or OS X; Windows drivers are available on the phone as a CD-ROM);

1.2 Copy update.zip to the root of your phone's internal memory or SD Card (one of the two may not work, and there is different feedback regarding this issue)

2. Turn on USB debugging

3. Turn on the phone in fastboot mode (press and hold both power and volume down buttons);

3.1 Connect the phone to your computer and wait for the drivers to finish installing (when applied);

4. Open a command prompt where you first extraced the files and type:

fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices

It will list all devices connected to the computer on fastboot mode, for example a409dc4d.

6. Install CWM Recovery:

fastboot -i 0x1bbb flash recovery image-new.img

7. Enter recovery mode (power + volume up)

8. Install update.zip

Once again, please be very carefully when executing this procedure. It can go really wrong.

If you're using Mac or Linux, paste the specific android SDK tools in the extracted folder and run fastboot with the command ./fastboot if you don't have an alias for it in your .profile or .bashrc (if you don't know what this is, ignore it :P).

[MENTION=6308906]imTos[/MENTION], Thanks for information, but you know if there is any custom rom (CM or MIUI) for this equipment, specifically for the version of the 5042A one SIM ??

Thank You ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imTos:
Regarding the root procedure, I was told on a portuguese board that it works for any 5042 model.

Hey. I am not aware of any alternative ROM currently on the Internet, especially since Alcatel has not released the phone's source code yet. What I do know, however, is that there are three ROMs for this device: Alcatel's original ROM (build 010 03 single/dual SIM), Orange ROM (single SIM) and the portuguese NOS ROM (build 010 06, single SIM). Between the three, as far as I know, the portuguese one is the one that most ressembles AOSP w/ Google Play and with no bloatware installed by default, from what I've seen in pictures. I don't know if it is possible for the users of the different ROMs to make NANDroid backups and share them online, though it wouldn't be a full help. Keep in mind that both chinese and russian ROMS, from what I've read (and I have no way to confirm if this is true or not!), have a function to report stolen phones, and this text messages a foreign number if you're living outside these countries.

Offtopic: I waste more time trying to guess the captcha than replying to a post. Google, where's the new noCaptcha function?

in the "russian" tutorial they tell you to copy "update.zip" to your SD card - that did not work for me !

instead update.zip was only found once it was on the INTERNAL SD card !!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imTos:
Hey guys.

I've found very useful information like stock recovery, stock images, and user custom images for this device on the same board I found the root method. I still haven't had the courage to root my device, though, and I feel kind of an hypocrite because of it, but this is my only phone, and if something had gone wrong I would have no money to buy a new one. I know I'm not the only one in this situation, and I do feel really bad for not helping users that have requested for my help.

I need to know if Mobile Upgrade Q can recognize the device and reinstall the ROM if anything goes wrong. To those who had any problem, was it able to fix it? Were you using stock recovery or CWM when you tryed it (I'm not sure if this is relevant)?

I will update this board (or create a new one?) regarding this device with useful information I've found online, and since stock recovery is already available (that was the main reason I didn't root in the first place (warranty)), I will provide a (not rooted) factory image of the custom build 010 06 when I have time to do so.

Hi Pauleta91, I just got hold of a Pop 2 (4.5) Dual SIM [5042D] yesterday. Consequently, I went online to search for things I could do with it (custom ROM, rooting, etc). It was offered as a prepaid pack promotion in my country for ~EUR89 / ~USD96. I didn't know what to do with it after buying it. LOL! So I found this thread. I will try rooting it tomorrow.

How do you suggest I transmit the nandroid backup to you? I imagine the files will be pretty big and I am constrained by a 512 kbps upload DSL connection :((

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------

My 5042D (Dual SIM) variant from Malaysia has a "Find my Alcatel" function in the settings menu. As this feature overlaps with Google's own similar function, I did not bother to activate it - not especially when it requires me to register an "Alcatel username" and such.

[Verizon LG G3] TonikJDK:
On number 29, I believe after ten it wipes your phone not lock you out. So ten might be a good idea.

On your overall list I don't see anything that is a big deal except maybe the display seems to bother you quite a bit. All the rest of the stuff are just the usual annoyances. Might not see the exact same issues on another phone but there will be just as many.

That said if the display really bothers you a lot you should return it.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
Oh yay, a "convince me" thread. Show some sack, and make your own decisions. If there are things you don't like, only you can decide if you can live with them. How is anyone supposed to convince you?
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
If you don't like stock screen brightness use Lux.

You can use any other Launcher that supports Gestures and set up Knock Off with that without any issues.

You can try changing your DPI to gain more screen real estate.

You can use Flex Multi Window app to add whatever apps you want to the Multi Window.

You can change your LED for notifications with various apps and mods.

My WiFi works far better than it did on my S4 so not sure why yours isn't?

I think most of your dislikes could be fixed without getting a new phone. Every phone will have it's list of " annoying things " I think the G3 is a great phone myself even without a custom recovery and Roms. Although I'm excited to get that going as well

[Verizon LG G3] JMooney5115:
I've got until next Thursday to return mine. All of my problems deal in the LGDroid software. If the phone's bootloader is unlocked I will be happier than a hound dog eating steak.

There's an app for that Lux

I haven't noticed this.

I can't live without onscreen nav buttons. There's an app for that: Ultimate Dynamic Navbar

^^^^

Root and install XPosed. You can turn screen off with 2 taps to notification bar (top of screen).

May have been caused by installing all your apps.

I agree. I disabled the volume and brightness slider. I like the AOSP experience here.

Me too. And I have about 3 USB cables that won't charge the phone.

No experience here

There's an app for that, or root and modify a system file to fix.

I agree. You can root and install XPosed framework with G3 app to modify those shortcuts.

Isn't there only the share option in AOSP?

No experience here

No experience here

It worked for me, but after the Hangouts update I look at voicemail in Hangouts.

Yup.

No experience here

Yup. I've switched to Google Camera for my picture taking.

No experience here

No problems here.

No experience here

Yup. There's an app for that: Light Manager

No problems here.

I hate the clip tray.

IR is not powerful. I have to point my phone directly at the devices' sensor I want to control.

Lame.

Me, my phone has no lock screen security

Just because there are many things I don't like about the phone doesn't mean I won't keep it.
[Verizon LG G3] digitallure:
I'll buy it for a dollar.

I didn't say you weren't going to keep it. I simply stated that you're the one who has to live with or without it, so how is anyone supposed to convince you, one way, or the other?
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Fair enough. But I'm use to having spare batteries that are as good as the original for $26 and come with a travel size wall charger. I don't think I'm going to get that with the G3.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
On Amazon now you can get an OEM Battery for $30 or you can get the Caseology or Trendon 2 Battery + AC/USB Charger for about $30 as well.

Those ones people are saying are about 90% of what the OEM one is I guess.

- Tapatalked from the G3 -
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
Links please? All the batteries I see on Amazon that have supposed good reviews are stuffed with fake reviews that turned out to be junk when I researched them elsewhere.

I know a lot of Anker batteries aren't all that great but their warranty is fantastic and I have first hand experience with that. It's the reason I have 3 reasonably well working batteries and two compact wall chargers that work more than well enough for traveling for a measly $26 for my GS4. That option doesn't even exist for the G3.
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Well a friend of mine has the Caseology ones that he ordered right from Amazon. I'll look for the link but it's the ones with 2 Batteries and a Charger.

And I've spoken to a few here on XDA that got the OEM LG Battery off there as well and they've said that Battery is just the same same as the one that came with the phone, even though the writing on the Battery differs a little from the stock one... Same Battery and it's made in LG factory I guess.

I'm with you though.. I miss having my Anker Battery I had for my S4. That Battery was awesome.

LG and the other companies haven't made it easy to get a good spare at all.

[Verizon LG G3] krazy_smokezalot:
Root it and just about all your complaining will go away even the on screen buttons
[Verizon LG G3] d0n s4sh:
on #1: maybe you are wrong about what is way too dim. when you are in a dark environment with the fone beeing pretty much the only light source you should keep it as dim as possible. give your eyes like half a minute to adapt to it. otherwise you possibly damage the low light reception of your eyes in the long run.
[Verizon LG G3] ericzhf:
You already made your choice since you list 30 problems.
[Verizon LG G3] LaTropa64:
That might be true. Maybe my old phone was just way too bright and needlessly killing battery since I can see this one just fine. It's just a shock and something I noticed right away.

Not at all. I only listed the negatives. There are plenty of positives about this phone and that's why I needed to point out everything I don't like about it to try and convince myself to save $599. I want to keep it, but not if there is something out there as compact with as big of a screen as this. I'm afraid I won't find it so I'll be "stuck" with this G3.

I'm test driving a iPhone through T-Mobile right now and I absolutely hate everything about it except the fingerprint scanner. It's amazing. I hope LG can copy that tech into the G4 as a back button. It's even better than knock code IMO.
