[Galaxy S 4 General] Vrayhem:
Dec 2014 ETA for I-9500 so probably March/April 2015 for I-9505. We are still on 4.4.2 officially. Samsung traditionally slower than an injured camel with OS releases. Last Samsung phone I will ever buy. Overpriced, cheap materials, slow, battery faulty too often and laggy.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
Go buy nexus and stop crying then...
[Galaxy S 4 General] paulssp:
Hope this is true

I really hope the S4 gets the Android L update by December !! I dont know why Samsung didnt update to the 4.4.4 version for these devices! Why so much of a delay in releasing the updates. It's still stuck on 4.4.2 for most devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nitinvaid:
Testing? how it can be

and since when samsung is this much fast
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
i just hope whenever i9505 gets L we also get new touchwizz :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] galaxys4s5:
from kitkat to android L its a big update im 90% sure we will get the new ui

but i hope it will be soon and not half year
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
its not even released yet, december is too early, may be feb or march
[Galaxy S 4 General] Beefheart:
Mature.
[Galaxy S 4 General] hare89:
Well i am sick of people writing same stuff for million times ,nobody is forcing anybody to buy samsung or any other phone...If somone really likes updates/clean ui nexus should be their choice,but imo samsung isnt that slow in updating their phones compare it to other brand phones maybe not the best but not the least either...i just hope when they update to L we just get newest ui ,art and performance updates
[Galaxy S 4 General] braulio_holtz:
I think Samsung and other manufacturers will make fewer modifications of pure Android, this will speed up the updates.

Google wants the ecosystem is characterized by UI, example is the Android TV and Android Wear

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...r-oems-here-are-some-of-the-interesting-ones/

I think Google wants to close the year with a marketshare of Android L as the largest evolution. The manufacturers should have received the Dev Preview build and maybe other's internal and Google have forced manufacturers to release updates sooner
[Galaxy S 4 General] ryn888:
This is the problem of samsung always delay in updating firmwares. Very fast when it comes to accepting our payment but very slow when it comea to updating.
[Galaxy S 4 General] devilyuri:
Why do you want to wait official L from samsung

If good devs will come here we will have Pure stock L like nexus
[Galaxy S 4 General] mazbot:
Because sometimes devs need sources from samsung too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] andreas1996:
Also the i9505 has Google Play Edition :D :)

The ROM can be ported to stock i9505
[Galaxy S 4 General] Me Gusta:
Who would want Android L with the TW skin on it.. This would take away the point of having android L.. It will be the same laggy experience all over again.. Just wait until the source is released and let the developers do their thing.. Just have patience

Me Gusta!
[Galaxy S 4 General] nitinvaid:
For me all TW ROMs are same like android 2.3 and 4.4 all looks almost same TW is crap

And Samsung development is getting **** that's why i haven't bought the galaxy s5

And for those who likes to upto date really don't go for Samsung I was also using samsung from galaxy s1 and till s4 my last even galaxy s3 development is better then s4.

And December it can't be possible for galaxy s4 android l may me next year December

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] floepie:
Just wondering how many of you update your ROMs so frequently. Do you attempt a restore, and if so, do you use Sprite or SPB?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Voxyn:
I am using SPB Backup but occured an error while restoring 2.3 contacts on 3.3 AKU. Contacts won't open after that, so you have to backup it via .csv
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] floepie:
Well, I have all PIM data on Exchange server.... how about apps? Does that usually work fine?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] levenum:
There was a thread here somewhere about pim.vol format being different in AKU 3.x from 2.X

I believe this is the source of the error with contacts.

Just thought you should know...
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] RaptorRVL:
Sprite backup has a tool which can do a backup and then restore after a rom update.

However, before you do that you have to run another program which scans the whole OS or something. And then when you restore it looks for certain changes.

Reading the forums over on Sprite backup site should give more information about this subject.

However, don't do like me. Backup with sprite and forget to make the OS upgrade thingy :P
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] MrMiguel:
Sprite is currently the only app that restore after a ROM upgrade, I suggest you read the FAQ on Upgrade mode on their website BEFORE you upgrade your device, as most ppl who have issues dont read the FAQ and upgrade before finding out they have to do some preparation. THe user guide also has instructions on upgrade mode but you still need to download the util off the website
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] CapeNick:
Trying to play the preview video in the play store results in a connection error. Videos play fine in the YouTube app, but will not load from the play store. I've crawled the Internet for an answer, but I appear to be the only one suffering from this issue. (I would like to point out that just because I looked, doesn't mean it isn't there, just ask my gf).

The video previews used to work fine, when they were located with the screenshots, but since they moved them to the top of the play store, like a banner on the app/games page, the will not load. I can't be the only one experiencing this.

BTW, it's an EVGA model, if that makes a difference. Not rooted.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] ZeroWingUK:
I also have this problem and have had for a while now, it also affects videos embedded in other Google services such as Newsstand. The only way I have found to 'fix' it is to uninstall updates to the YouTube app and then to ignore updates in Google Play for youtube app.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] CapeNick:
Well, that's both disappointing and releaving lol. One the one hand I'm glad it's not just me or just my Tegra note, on the other hand I would really rather not have to ignore updates to YouTube.

I would then assume that this is a YouTube problem, or as the least a problem with one of the updates. Oh well, it's a pain in the arse, but it's not the worst thing to have go wrong.

So far my only complaint about the tablet is the shi**y build quality and God forsaken micro USB port
[Moto 360] theoreticaljerk:
Sometimes when I'm in a dimmer area, my display will be so dim I can hardly see it. This doesn't happen in brighter areas.

For reference, it is far far dimmer than brightness setting 1. I have the watch set to auto brightness and ambient off.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Moto 360] jt3:
Yeah, it seems that the 360's auto brightness setting is (at least sometimes) pretty aggressive in low light conditions.
[Moto 360] kandelai:
Same here, and I hate that. I always have to go into the settings when the room light is dim, and switch off auto brightness and change to the 1 setting.
[Moto 360] v3ngence:
I'm almost positive it's a bug, the low brightness of 1 isn't too bright for very dark situations and the dimmed mode is simply too dim.

I'm pretty sure auto-brightness should turn on at level 1 (if it's dark) and then go to the ultra-dimmed mode before the screen times-out just like in normal brightness.

I don't think I've seen this bug happen in the daytime though, so it does seem like a bug at brightness level 1 only
[Moto 360] lifeisfun:
Any solution to this problem? Drives me crazy.

Thanks
[Moto 360] guarionexp@gmail.com:
Smart Brightness for Moto 360

Try Smart Brightness for Moto 360. This application allows to set auto brightness with a minimum brightness to avoid a dimm screen on dark situations.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genkiness:
Hi all,

I have a previously rooted DHD that won't boot beyond the white HTC load screen.

The problem is that a number of things were tried on the phone to get it working again, and I think it may have made things worse, like unrooting it.

I can access the stock bootloader, this is what I get:

When I select Recovery, ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.1.0 starts but also has some error messages:

I think these errors are because unfortunately the SD card was wiped when trying to fix it :eek:

I've tried connecting it to a Windows PC to run the RUU but got an error about the Customer ID.

I don't care if the phone gets unrooted, or if it has an old stock rom, I just want to get the phone working again.

Does anyone have any hints for how I can fix this phone?

EDIT: I found out that this is my CID: VODAP102. Maybe I just need to correct RUU? Does anyone know which one that may be?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gatosbil:
You have a Vodaphone German CID so if you don't find a Vodaphone German RUU for desire HD that is the same or higher from your misc version you won't be able to fix your phone.You could try to extract a rom.zip from an {RUU}.exe and you add or change your CID number with yours by editing the android-info.txt file inside the rom.zip in order you be able to flash it from your sdcard or by using the command fastboot flash zip rom.zip.(If you would like to follow this path I would suggest you to make a goldcard before you flash the zip).

If you have not a working rom or at least a working adb shell in order you make a goldcard you should try to install a custom rom to create the goldcard (I don't know if you can create a goldcard from recovery).

If any of these can help you I think the only solution you could try (and the best in my opinion) is to S-OFF your device and you change the vodaphone crap cid with SuperCID or one of your choice.After that you can install any RUU you like.

I have answered a lot of times how to S-OFF this device.You can find the answer here.

The situation you are not rooted is not a good thing because you won't have a root shell either.You could try rerooting your current rom from recovery by flashing a Superuser or SuperSU zip.You can find the latest flashable zip of SuperSU here.

** However if you want to make this proccess you must have enabled USB debugging (at least to create a goldcard as the manual describes) **

We could also help you a little bit more if you gave us the results that prints the command fastboot getvar all.

You can find Desire HD RUU's here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ionakr:
Hi, was looking on the forum, but my english is not very good, so i dunno what to exactly search, and i'm sorry if this is a repost. By the way, i was thinking to buy this phone, and i wanna know if i may transform my normal Z ultra into a GPE, because i love nexus, i own a nexus 5 and i wanna play with a new phone while i wait for nexus 6 :p

Thanks in advance, and i'm sorry if this is a repost and for my bad english
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ludoo:
Hi, I did exactly that: there's a port of the GPE ROM that can be installed on the ZU, with locked or unlocked bootloader. I've been running it for a few days and it's working very well. The ROM post is here

Mandami un PM, c'è un porting della ROM GPE che va molto bene, io la sto usando da un po', chiedimi quello che vuoi sapere. Il link sopra è alla ROM, la versione UB per bootloader sbloccato, LB per bootloader bloccato.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamdaschmu:
Hi,

the search function doesn't work right now, and I'm looking for a solution for hours now. So please excuse me if this is solved already and please redirect me to the solution if so. If its important on any level: My phone is rooted and I use Nexus 5 Experiance rom 9.3 CAF

At work, we have a NFC key tag to open doors and use our copymachines. I would love to copy the Tag on my Nexus 4 and use it instead.

So, what I have done till now: I can read the NFC Tag (with NFC Tools and i can make a copy of it with NFC ReTag), and its a Mifare Classic 1k (NFC Tools, tells me, the Technology is "NfcA" and the serial number, which are 4 hex digits, one ATQA and one SAK number). Also if I hold my Nexus to the NFC Readers next to the doors, they respond to me, that they can't read it (which makes sense, because its just a Phone with NFC enabled, but without the needed information of the key). Summary: I can read my tag, can copy it to my phone, and the Readers also respond to my phone.

But: I can't come up with a solution to use this information, to use my phone as the key instead of the tag. As I understand, I need to copy the information on my phone and than tell it to be a tag instead of a phone (emulate). Now I read, that KitKat introduced HCE(host card emulation), which sounded like the right thing, but after reading a lot here I found, that this feature is specificly designed to money transactions (which probably was only implemented for Google wallet).

Now, dear community: I know, that this is indeed a security risk for the company, if this would really work (to copy the key), and this should not be possible in theory. But thats another topic. We use this system for 6 years now and maybe there is a possible way now.

So my question is: Is this possible at all? That means: Can somebody redirect me to the solution? Or is this NOT possible at the moment? Or will this not be possible at all (also in the future) with my Nexus 4, because of some technical differences, and I don't need to bother searching any longer?

edit: So I just found NFC Taginfo and it tells me, that Mifare Classic is not supported by the device. I still don't know, what to think, because NFC Tools had no problem of reading the Tag

I just order too. I did Upgrade and pay for the whole thing, but I get this below. I did an upgrade on my phone. Why "add a line" ? Do I need to call in?

Fees Add A Line charge $10.00
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jamesrick80:
You were suppose to go into my tmobile and login in there...then choose upgrade phone on the line that you wanted to upgrade. It will give you options and you would choose the phone number that has to be upgraded. Otherwise, you may have just added another line. Call them and confirm your status on this order.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dsims0250:
The lady i talked to told me.. cause i added another line back in JULY thats the fee im seeing... but all my stuff looks correct she said..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] morphiend:
what is the deal about getting them in stores on release day? I don't want to wait for shipping time. I don't think they've ever done pre orders before, at least I don't fermenter it for the note 2 or 3. I'm thinking stock will be low. what do you guys think?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
I did. I choose UPGRADE. I don't know what the $10 add a line is about. I didn't choose any new number. This is weird.

Apparently the T-Mobile website doesn't want me to use my Jump upgrade with the pre-order because it's giving me all kinds of issues. Might just have to stop by my local T-Mobile store @ lunch to put it on pre-order.

I pre ordered mine yesterday morning at my local Tmobile

a more or less "thank you for your purchase" and so on.

hmm.........

I am in california if that means anything.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] hyl4me:
How is everybody doing the trade in? Instore, phone, or online. So you get any kind of proof/receipt? I did it through phone and has nothing.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Will Rickards:
When I ordered the service in the tmobile store, they evaluated my trade-in and said that when I get my new phone, I'll have to ship the trade-in back. The trade-in is on my paperwork but the receipt looks like he just printed a website (some parts are cutoff).
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Kawaisa:
That's how T-Mobile trade in works. They're pretty much just doing what you'd do by yourself by going the online trade-in route.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mugenfa5:
I did the same thing and I got a quote for my Trade in and the pre-order for my Note 4. Do we technically have to shipped the phone to Tmobile? I was trading in a Galaxy S3 and was quoted $49, I rather keep the Galaxy S3 as a spare than selling it for $49. Can I just submit the pre-order form to Samsung and get the remaining $151 rebate from them and decide to whether shipped the phone to Tmobile to claim the rest of the funds?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] GMAN1722:
I doubt it as i think that they want the physical phone (for whatever reason) . Besides I wouldn't chance it because they'll probably look for any excuse not to honor the rebate (just the skeptic in me from past experiences):rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Will Rickards:
No one really knows what the promotion site wants yet as proof.

I'm guessing that they'll need some sort of proof of the credit to your account, not just of the evaluation.

[Moto 360] tlxxxsracer:
So just getting the black 360 2 days ago, I was asked if I wanted the protection plan offered by Best Buy. I gave it some thought and still not sure.

Seeing as its a watch, more probably to get hit or damaged, the screen shattering or issues with pixels, battery loosing the ability to hold a charge sooner, etc.. for 2 years they'll give you a new replacement.

Did anyone decide to get the plan? Share your thoughts as to why you did or didnt. Is it even worth it?
[Moto 360] jt3:
A warranty like this is basically a gamble that you'll use it. If you do, then you win. If not, you lose. I tend to steer clear of this kind of warranty unless I think there's a high possibility that I'll use it.

In this case, the watch will almost certainly be obsolete (meaning, no longer sold) or otherwise unavailable within that two year period. Once that happens, it means purchase price refunded if I run into any issues or anything I can no longer live with (like the battery no longer holding a full day's charge -- something that is also likely to happen after 700+ daily charges over two years). That's $250 plus tax toward the purchase of whatever the current model would be at the time.

That makes the warranty a little more desirable, since it gives me an out if I run into a "Galaxy Nexus" scenario, where the 360 wouldn't be upgradable to the next version of Android Wear, or otherwise becomes unusable. For that reason alone, I purchased the warranty.
[Moto 360] chaco81:
how much was it? what plan did it fall under?
