Okay, thank you very much for clarifying that my phone's bootloader was not actually locked, I just assumed it was because I couldn't find anyone else with that baseband version. I have also read the thread you linked, I am going to try TWRP.
[HTC Desire 610] DaniGonCer:
hello goodnight my question is this I have a desire 610 at & t the problem is that I have enabled the NFC in the rom at & t and characteristics of hardware if I have, nor does the hotspot goes wrong vendor because I'm not used and I use my cell with CLARO Ecuador, my question is that with this other rom have nfc? and the hotspot was solved?
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Not sure about hotspot, but I don't think our phone has NFC capability at all. It doesn't have the chip in the phone, does it?
[HTC Desire 610] loplo:
NFC is in and working.

I just beamed something from the 610 to my Nexus 4.
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Beam uses wifi doesn't it?

Also, at&t or international version of the 610?
[HTC Desire 610] loplo:
"Android Beam is a feature of the Android mobile operating system to allow data to be transferred via near field communication (NFC)." source Wikipedia.

Phone is International (EU Vodafone) version.
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
That's why. AT&T version does not have NFC.
[HTC Desire 610] prucho:
European Desire 610 has a different hardware or AT & T ROM hotspot is locked

Enable AT&T Hotspot on Unlocked HTC Desire 610

If you still need to unlock the hotspot feature, you can download root browser(root required) from the play store and go the the directory /system/customize/ACC. Long press on the default.xml, touch open with, and select the RB Text Editor. From there, look for Tethering_provision(towards the bottom of the file) and insert a 0 after the >(it will look like Tethering Provision>0<). I also looked for Tethering_guard_rule and set it to 0 as well. I couldn't find any specific way to do it by searching google, and I finally figured this out and got my AT&T hotspot working on T-mobile's network. Hope it helps! :D
[Samsung Gear Live] jalchemyst:
Hi all. Was just wondering with notifications, is there anyway to view each notification in full? For example, if I get one text from one person, I can read the entire thing, but if I get 2 or more texts from the same person, they are all grouped together and you end up only seeing the first few words of the text. This is even more noticeable for whatsapp. Is there any way to solve this issue? Thanks.
[Samsung Gear Live] Brendo:
It all depends on the app supporting wear

Latest couple of whatsapp versions support wear and show each individually (can even reply via voice)

I would like to see more that a title of an exchange email but I think it has something to do with exchange.

It is the same if you have a Pebble, Gear or Android Wear, with Gmail you can read the email, with exchange you can not
[Samsung Gear Live] Brendo:
It all has to do with how the notification gets delivered by the app itself, nothing to do with the watch
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midi_Amp:
Hi all, I just bought Nexus 4 (please don't lynch me) and having a great clean Google Nexus experience. But one thing bothers me a lot though... It seems my local language (Indonesian language) doesn't have a spell check feature. Coming from Samsung and Sony devices, all can spell check Indonesian language but not the Nexus 4. I'm currently using Smart Keyboard (Trial) with a separate Indonesian language dictionary download. Not liking it though, weird presentation and auto correction logic.

Just wondering if I missed a step here, since Samsung and Sony has a local language spell check feature but the Nexus 4 has not.

I have successfully removed the film that gets scratched on the camera lens but I noticed my lens still has a lot of hairline scratches that don't seem to affect the picture quality like before. Is this normal?? Or are they remnants of the film that I have not properly removed?

Can anyone confirm that their lens have hairline scratches as well after removing the film?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzzyWozzy:
What did you do? which film did you remove.. on the inside or is it on the outside.. I got suddenly scratches on the camera lens, but don't know where it came from... same what you are saying: due to the film on the lens?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofthebraves:
Just wiped it off with polish. Scratches on the outside.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzzyWozzy:
Ah allright. I got the problem that my camera and dual camera got blurred by unknown scratch-like things, but suddenly, afer a few weeks, they dissapeared. You know maybe what it is? I searched, and many thought it is due to damp or moisture, but I never use it in moisture environments.

Maybe someone else know this problem?
[Android Apps and Games] heihei_ivan:
Black Box is a biased decision maker. You just have to tell it the choices you have, and give each choice a score. Based on the choices and the weighing, it will pick a random choice for you.

It is called “Black Box” because it comes with an invisible hand. Apart from the choices, you can also create rules to manipulate the random draw, and that’s why it is a biased decision maker. It never makes a fair draw.

Features:

Create multiple Black Boxes for different kinds of decision

Allocate weighing for each choice, and the weighing will affect the chance of the choice being picked

Create rules to manipulate the random draw, by setting the result directly, or changing the weighing of a particular choice

Provide statistics showing how many times each choice is picked (only valid for each application session)

Types of rules available:

Autocracy (The rule will always be valid)

Weekday (The rule will be active on specific weekday)

Day of Month (The rule will be active based on the current day in the month)

Background

When working in office, it's difficult to decide where to have lunch, especially in urban like Hong Kong where huge amount of restaurants are densely packed in a small district. So during my last job I had an Excel macro to randomly pick a restaurant from a weighed list. And since I left that job and I wasn't able to bring that Excel file away from the company, so I wrote this app for the same purpose. And this is my first app and therefore it does not have many features in this initial release, but the idea is here - make a choice with your own manipulation.

The Chinese name of this app literally means the same as "Black Box Operations", pretty much describing what is happening in Hong Kong.

Make sure you turn off security on the lock screen first, set the effect and then turn security (pattern etc) back on.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Someone posted this about the Z2 and why you need to root it in order to get the best camera resolution:

Basically it gives you the option to do things you normally couldn't. Install custom software. Delete apps that normally can't be deleted. Modifications to things like camera (eg the phone currently only uses 8mp in superior auto, but the mod allows it to use 20mp in superior) all kinds of tweaks and stuff that without root access, you wouldn't be able to install.

So does anyone know if the Z3 will have this issue resolved or will you still need to root it in order to get 20MP in Superior Auto Mode? I think it's so stupid that you have to root it in order to get that. It should be a choice, not forced. Hopefully it won't need to be.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thank You,

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Yes. because 20/21MP is standard on 4:3 aspect ratio.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Hey Electrash,

Sorry, did you mean yes it's been resolved on the Z3 or yes the Z3 will still need to be rooted in order to get 20/21MPs in Superior Auto Mode?

Thanks,

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Yes, you will need root to use 20.7 in SA.

But why do you need it, you need to have screen like cinema paper to watch 20.7 mp in native size.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Ugghh ok. lol Thanks Electrash!

I just want the best. :cool: lol

Well when I transfer those pics to my pc and view them, I would think the difference would be noticeable? I mean 8 vs 20.7 sounds like a huge difference to me, even if both are still Sony-based. It's not quite cinema size, but my PC screen (21") is still much bigger than any phone screen I'll ever have.

What u guys think?

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
http://web.forret.com/tools/megapixel.asp?width=5400&height=3600

Check this site 75inch*50inch is size of native picture at 19.4MP.

Also I doubt that you have 5600*3600 screen resolution, that means half of this pixels won't even be shown, unless you zoom in a lot.

But again, who takes picture to zoom like telescope. :D
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Ok took a look at it. Thank you.

Well that's the thing....... I wouldn't say I zoom in a lot, but sometimes I do. It's just nice to know that when I do, the sharpness won't fade away.

So you think the quality of Superior Auto Mode at 8MPs will still be really nice? I just don't get why they can't let ppl choose for themselves? I hate being forced to choose stuff. That's one of the main reasons why I stick with Android over like Apple is b/c of the choice, the freedom. If I got it I may root it, or not. Who knows.

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
8MP is more then enough for everything that we "little" people want to do with pictures. Trust me, I was against that, but since I research a lot, I found out that I don't need more then 8MP.

In my situation, I have 15.6inch HD screen. That means even 2MP are enough to be shown in native size, everything beyond that is for sharpness.

Why they don't let you choose, well I don't know, but I heard that SA downscale 20mp in 8MP for better image. But don't use this as true because I didn't search for this one.

Take a research if that is true, and then try to research how downscale makes photo.

(lumia 1020 Downscale her 41mp to around 15 as I remember)
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
lol I dunno....... I have a Sony camera, 16.2 megapixels.......... and it's a fantastic camera! Carl Zeiss lens and everything! So I am picky about that stuff.

How does downscaling a 20MP pic to 8MPs make it better?

I actually tested the Nokia Lumia 1020 this past week for a phone survey/focus group I'm doing. It wasn't a bad phone really, but 41MP camera? It's a joke man. The pics came out like nothing special at all. Obviously when it comes to cameras, there's a lot more than just MPs at play (focus, light sensitivity, flash, etc). But Sony knows that and incorporates a great deal of that knowledge into their cameras and phone cameras too. I'm not surprised you said 41 to 15MPs for the Lumia, because I swear, the pics I took on the 1020 LOOKED like they were not even 15MPs. I don't get why they advertise 40MPs if it gets downscaled? At least with the Z3 you can get 20.7MPs if you use normal mode. I just don't know man. We'll see what happens.

RockStar2005
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Even worst, 1020 take pictures in 5MP in their "Superior Auto" :eek:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockStar2005:
Electrash.........I think I got my answer:

Saw this review on the Z3. Some interesting things on the camera on page 3. Sample pics at bottom look pretty sharp to me, even when zoomed in: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Xperia-Z3-Review_id3795/page/3

The Sony Xperia Z3's camera user interface is mostly easy to use, especially when you're sticking with Sony's Superior Auto mode, which attempts to automatically pick the best settings for you, depending on the scene you're trying to photograph, and tends to be pretty accurate most of the time. By default, the Sony Xperia Z3's Superior Auto mode shoots at 8 MP. It does use the full resolution of the 20 MP sensor, but scales the pictures down - this way, the user ends up with high-quality 8 MP photos of 'easy-to-share' size that don't exhibit less visible artifacts when viewed in actual size.

We were, frankly, surprised to see how natural the color representation of images taken with the Sony Xperia Z3 is. Sony usually boosts the color saturation and contrast a bit (or a lot), resulting in flashy hues, which are not representing the scene in front of the lens in a completely credible manner. With the Z3, however, Sony tweaked takes a what-you-see-is-what-you-get approach, producing natural colors. The automatic white balance measurements are valid with most every shot, leaving no weird overcasts in the scene. Last, but not least, the phone is able to grab a fine amount of detail..

Changelog for the NI2 update being pushed today:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/galaxy-s5-091614.pdf

Looks like we're getting ready for Advanced Calling 1.0 i.e. voice over LTE
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] skiddingus:
My VOLTE is working fine on NHA. I noticed the support in the phone when this update was released a couple weeks ago. You need to log into your verizon account and activate the VOLTE feature. It will be working almost immediately after that. I tried a few video calls between my S5 and my wife's and they seem to work OK on my weak LTE signal at my house. You need to turn off wifi before it works too.

I plan to do a manual upgrade to NI2 today. (flash backwards and OTA to NI2 then re-root)

Hopefully, a working version of NI2 for the Developer Edition comes out soon because I want to enable VoLTE for my phone..

Hey everyone,

Im new to rooting, so my fault for the dumb questions. Im. Currently on NE9, rooted with towelroot, Still on stock Android 4.4.2. Do I take the OTA to N12? Will it mess up my phone?, Ill just root it after I update, So Im not worried about losing Root.

I have a Verizon Samsung SM-G900V which I did run Towelroot on to root on the original.

Verizon pushed out the NE9 OTA which I accepted and it broke root. I haven't yet gotten around to following the directions to take it back to root.

My problem is they are trying to push out the NI2 update over the last few weeks to me and every time I try to apply it the phone errors out when trying to apply it. Of course no additional information as to why.

I haven't seen too many people having this particular issue so figured I would ask to see if I should go through and root again then apply the NI2 to the system through a different method than OTA, or if there is a particular file I should check to see what the reason it is failing might be.

Thanks for any advice.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] warpedmind0u812:
When you were rooted before, did you freeze or uninstall any applications?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] absamide:
No. I didn't that I remember specifically, but it is possible that I did freeze something and just don't remember.

When I start the phone it boots up then presents me with an error saying "Unfortunately, VZWAVSService has stopped." Otherwise everything seems to be fine.

I didn't have any problems applying the OTA for NE9 so found it odd that this one wouldn't push out correctly.

Heimdall might work with the smaller kernel files but honestly I haven't tried it yet. Give Jodin a try, you can run it from the website or off your computer. Jodin uses heimdall so it won't work with large tar files but should be ok with the smaller ones. Here is the NCG PIT file you will need also. Don't worry it is the same pit for all the versions so far.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jpcalhoun:
You're extremely lucky you did not lock your bootloader. I understand a rooted phone with a custom recovery will normally prevent an OTA update from successfully installing. But, to be on the safe side, I would NEVER allow an OTA update to be installed on my Developer Edition phone. Just a suggestion...if you have a Developer Edition S5 do not take an OTA or ODIN/Flash a retail firmware. If you do, your bootloader will get locked and you'll be left with a very expensive retail version of the S5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Echo_Platoon:
The Developer Edition of the phone doesn't get OTA updates like the retail phones do. I don't plan on flashing the firmware on my phone ever; never planned on it because I don't want a locked bootloader. I only flash a ROM and the modem, which is fine on the Developer Edition.
