You are right! The vital link to check the MEID and zip code on the Tracfone site : https://www.tracfone.com/byop_cdma/index.jsp still works. I will be using it to check my second Moto G arriving from eBay tomorrow. Thank you for sharing it!

wws12,

If your refurbished with a clean esn purchase-to-be is a prepaid CDMA USED Verizon Moto G (1st gen) 3G smartphone it should work on Tracfone's BYOP program. Most people go through the activation without a hitch. If your device meets the cited specs & there is a problem getting Tracfone to activate the phone, call them and go through the process again and again until it works. Don't quit.

I just got my phone (1 day) up and running so have not tried MMS. Have not sent any texts yet, but received several just fine.

The Tracfone service is good so far. Calls are crisp and loud.

The device is VERY FAST, and what surprises me most is how good it is at surfing the web bringing back results on 3G (a joy) and very easy to read on the screen. In comparison, my Samsung 7" tablet is somewhat clunky at the task. (A note: to make the Moto G faster, I disabled all unwanted apps keeping them from draining resources, e.g. residual Verizon apps, Google News, etc. )

It is in line to receive the Android 5.0 Lollipop update soon.
[Moto G General] Emarian:
Has anyone here been able to activate a Moto G (XT1031) on StraightTalk (owned by Tracfone)?
[Moto G General] Tersanyus:
Interested in this too. Got a brand new Verizon Moto G at Walmart for $39 (Black Friday sale). I bypassed the activation screen easily so it has not been activated on Verizon.

I was sure that PagePlus would not take the ESN and it didn't. The Net10 site accepted the ESN though and showed what kit to get in the store to activate the phone The Tracfone site, well, that MEID and zip code link does nothing. I put in the MEID and zip and nothing happens clicking Continue. I'd rather have Tracfone as I only need pay as you go, not monthly.

I know they sell Net10 Bring your own phone kits at stores, does Tracfone sell those in stores?
[Moto G General] wws12:
betty-

will this one work?

Thanks,

wws12
[Moto G General] ST Dog:
Then it will still be listed as a prepaid device and you won't be able to activate it anywhere other than Verizon (on the $45 ALLSET plan).

I haven't see the TF kits in stores yet, but it won't work.

On the TF site, after you enter the MEID and zip, =press continue and the page reloads. Should grey out the items you entered and give a selection box below them labeled "*Is your phone currently active?" with yes or no choices.

Selecting yes gives you a note about porting and a box to agree to port the number or deactivate the phone first. Then select that you have a NAC (purchased elsewhere) or you need to buy one.

Selecting no, gives the 2 NAC choices, and and option to "upgrade" from another BYOD device

If it fails at any point it means your phone is not compatible, even if the error messages don't say that.

I just checked it with a known compatible MEID and it was working fine.
[Moto G General] bettyhills:
wws12, Its specifications appear to exactly match Tracfone's requirements. It matches the one that I purchased (http://www.ebay.com/itm/361116794967?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) that Tracfone activated. No guarantees, but it should work fine. Best wishes.

A caution to others who are tempted to purchase a NEW Verizon phone. Do not do it if you intend activating on Tracfone. Tracfone is very clear that the phone must be USED. With thanks to the authors, here is a link with more information about using a Moto G on the Tracfone BYOP Program: http://tracfonereviewer.blogspot.com/2014/11/use-moto-g-with-tracfone-byop.html

[Galaxy Note 4 General] CorruptionDee:
Are any in depth Galaxy Note 4 benchmarks. We all saw early benchmarks on GSM Arena, but I haven't found any Antutu, Geekbench, or Quadrant scores, to name a few. I know that benchmarks aren't everything, but as a Note 3 owner I'm excited to see performance enhancements brought to us by the Snapdragon 805 with the Adreno 420.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Better to wait for the actual reviews, as benchmarks and performance can still be tweaked for the final software version.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Magnesus:
Knowing Samsung the first firmware might be a bit laggy. I remember worrying about Note 10.1 because in reviews it was slow as hell - first update fixed all that. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] CorruptionDee:
That makes sense. The Korean model will be released relatively soon, so I expect some more info. I'm almost certain that the software the showroom floor was fully optimized.

As for the Note 10.1 2014, I still have mine and can confirm that it has gotten better with every update. I'm running Hyperdrive, and it runs as smooth as butter. The benchmarks reflect that as well, with numbers only slightly lower than my Note 3.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookdav:
Ok, making phone calls just isn't ready-for-prime-time yet

Even after several more days, no one at a couple of different Verizon stores could come up with

satisfactory workarounds for the 'Phone' app's bad behaviors.

And, meanwhile I noticed several more negatives with trying to make a 5-inch 'phablet' meet

my needs. Such as:

(1) On day 1, the "Otter" holster that I bought with this Galaxy got snagged as I was getting

into the car, and broke the clip. (Luckily, that vendor gave me a new outer-frame w/clip, no

questions asked.) But, the seat-belt covered it which wasn't comfortable. And, when standing,

with the phone horizontally on my left-front, I couldn't even bend down comfortably, to stretch

or when exercising, etc.

(2) On day 3, I happened to need to lie down under a kitchen sink to make a minor repair,

and the only way to be comfortable, was to completely remove the Galaxy from my belt

and lay in on the counter. Whereas, the flip-phone that I've owned for the last 5 or more

years, comfortably has NONE of those issues...I never have had to remove it, in any of

those situations.

Long story short, I have now returned that goofy too-large-to-wear 5-inch phablet, and

upgraded to a brand new LG VN170 FLIP-PHONE, that works just like the flip-phone

I had (so there's nothing that I am required to learn to use it), yet it has lots of new

software features and subtle improvements over the LG VX6300 that I'm replacing.

Note: I strongly considered Google 'Glass' for quite a long time. Conceptually, that

product is closest to my needs (now that I understand them better) ! :cool:

So, to summarize:

Flip-phones rule (for low-cost portable/wearable devices to make phone calls with) !

I love my 7-inch Nexus-7 Android tablet, and will continue writing apps for Android.

What's the point of this thread?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imtiaz3:
Hi everyone,

yes this may seem at first similar to several other posts, but rest assured, I have googled from one end of the galaxy to the other and so far no solution has helped me.

Basically, my N7 a month ago was bootlooping loading android, this has happened before and usually i just re-load the factory image and i'm good for another few months. This time however, I was busy and said, no problem, i'll load the image in 2 days or so. By then, my N7 appears off and does not react to me pressing the power button or plugging in the charger. My assumption is it was in my bag and kept bootlooping and eventually drained the battery.

On my google searches, i've noted that there is a huge issue where when the battery drains completed, it is a pain to get it to turn on. Most people seem to be okay letting it charge for a while and holding the power button for 30 seconds or so. I've looked at google's official video about this issue and their steps to fix it, and i have not gotten any of this to work. I've held the power button for not 30 seconds, but several minutes until my finger became sore and it won't turn on. I've also done this holding down the power and the volume up button, volume down button, both etc. all combinations. I've left it on the charger for days and when i unplug and re-plug the charger, i don't get a hint of the screen powering on, let alone the battery charger icon you are supposed to see. I've tried this with my other chargers as well. The n7 charger is fine, i use it for other android devices no problem. If i plug this in the computer, i get a driver install failed error as well.

I've gone as far as taking off the back cover and double checking the battery connection which apparently gets loose quite easily and this is fine. I know my charger is fine, because i use this charger for other phones and they work fine, i've also tried using the usb cable to the computer and that does nothing either.

I would rule out an issue with the usb port on the device itself, because i have the dock which can charge the nexus 7 from the connections on it's side, i think it would be highly unlikely that both these pieces failed.

I am at my wits end, i really liked this tablet and want to salvage it as best i can. Only thing is i can't really do anything with it, all my google accounts are saved on this device and i'd rather not reset all my passwords if i attempt to sell this for parts.

I'd like to know if anyone has any other recommendations on what i could try, even if it is swapping out hardware inside the device. If i can salvage and sell this for something, i am willing to do that, i'm just not sure if it's something with the hardware at this point or if it's that dreaded battery drain issue.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VarkTheShark:
So, I rooted my Sprint GS5(4.4.2) but unrooted it. Im about to re-root it but thats not the question(s).

I just wanna know if GravityBox (KK) is good to use on my Galaxy. I heard its not a great idea to use it because it may clog up the device. If GravityBox isnt a good idea what other mods would be a good similar one? I know Wanam and Xblast are but I want to know if there are others that are good.

Also, what are the best mods in general to get once I re-root my phone. Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Squege:
Hi. I just recently upgraded my Sprint 4g Touch from running Stock Gingerbread to Jellybean using a stock restore application.

The 3g still appears to work but when I send messages it says they are failing, same with calls. I took the phone into sprint and they said that I needed to restore it.

The filename for the application I used is 'SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Rooted_Restore'. Everything else runs fine and I still receive messages but cannot reply to them.

I'm thinking it might be a setting that is stopping calls from getting through, just looking for some insight from someone more experienced with phones than I am. Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
A few things here...

1. You flashed Rooted_Restore... Is that the one that keeps your old data? I would backup your apps in /data with Titanium Backup and then flash the GB27_No_Data version, then restore apps after boot and Google setup.

2. It might be as simple as just updating your Profile and PRL.

3. Are you still on Sprint's network? If not, then you might be needing some edits and whatnot in your ROM... that could very well be causing your issue.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Squege:
1. I tried the no data version before and I would only get stuck in a boot loop before any of this, not sure if it would make a difference now.

2. Yep, that worked. Thanks!

3. Yes I am still with sprint.

Don't have too high expectations running faster by installing custom ROMs.

Which ROMs do you wish to install, stock nased or others?

What firmware version is installed, and is it bootloader unlocable?

The tutorials are out there, you can search for them.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] admiral_k:
As i had this problem after having updated to the new german O2 ROM 1.25.207.2, maybe it is of help for somebody else:

The problem was that everytime i activated DirectPush on my xda Trion, it connected just fine and synched my device.

But after some time (10-30 minutes), the data connection (GPRS or UMTS, no matter) dropped and could only be re-established after a soft reset of the whole device.

I GUESS that it could be the CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_Suspend_Resume_Null.CAB in the extended ROM of the new O2 ROM.

Judging from the filename it is setting the following registry entry to NULL.

This MAYBE causes the problem described above.

Nevertheless, the fix for me was to enter the following in the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings]

"SuspendResume"="~GPRS!"

This is of course an old tweak from former Windows Mobile Versions - it works nevertheless also on the new Trion ROM - at least for me!

Has anybody else had the same experiences?

If so, maybe this is worth to put in the WIKI, as it took my some time to find this old tweak again somewhere.

Best regards - and have a good start into 2007!

Klaas.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Mac.uni:
Yes i had this in a similar way. It worked for some hours with some reconnects. But then a reconnection was not possible. So once or twice a day a reboot of the device was needed. I set the connection to alwayson to solve the reconnection problem. That works too. But I think this is now responsible for calling problems.

I have to do telephone calls twice to get a connection. Or in UMTS networks (mainly in one special location, could be an HSDPA problem) it happens, that the connection freeze. So I can't hear anything from the otherside and other way round also. I also can't close the connection.

Maybe that tweak from you is a better solution.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] admiral_k:
After having testing it for nearly a week now, all i can say is:

It works!

No disconnects, no failed reconnects, no calling problems.

Device runs even more stable as with the previous ROM - and, although this maybe is only misperception, it also runs faster!

So if you have problems with your GPRS/UMTS connections to stay connected - try this tweak!

Maybe somebody could add this to the Wiki?

Regards,

Klaas.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnarizbeast:
Hi all!

I just got my T-Mobile G3 today. I immediately rooted it using StumpRoot and then proceeded to start ripping out TMobile & LG bloatware.

I saw the OTA update which after some research must be D85110M. It seemed reasonable so I went ahead and hit update, planning to reroot afterwards. I looked back to my computer.

About 5 minutes later, I look down, only to find my phone rebooted. I go to system settings, and notice that my build version is still D85110C, which is what my G3 came with. In addition, the OTA update notification is nowhere to be found. I have tried going into settings and searching for a new update, but it appears my phone thinks the update was installed, but it clearly has not been. I cannot imagine there was any errors in the process, as it should have just ran while plugged in.

Any ideas?

as said before, when a rom is ported the file build.prop sometimes is not changed. if tou prefer to see the name of your smartphone instal "es file explorer" go to local/system and open file buil.prop.... then edit the file and change where you find the name of the other device only....

save the file and reboot your device

your phone must be rooted

if you want to instal another rom ou must search only for those who are made for your device

[Q] System boot hangs with "Android is upgrading..." and "Starting apps"

I'm sure this is familiar to many, but I have yet to see a solution that is more intelligent than a simple whitewash of the apps.

I have had the same problem several times on my Nexus 10 and once on my Galaxy S2. Each time I have spent several hours looking for advice on line and poking around Android trying to find why it has hung. I seem no closer now than I ever was.

Surely someone has some insight?

I am running stock KitKat 4.4.4 KTU84P with TWRP recovery, and my strategy has been to

Wipe Dalvik cache

Wipe cache

Wipe data

Each followed by a "Fix permissions" from recovery.

I have never had any success until I reach the third step - to wipe the data partition and reinstall and reconfigure everything from scratch.

Surely there's a better way?
