[General Questions and Answers] Senpai Cat:
Hello everyone, I do believe I have officially broken my phone, however, something tells me I shouldn't give up quite yet.

My cool-story lookin ass decided "Gee, I have done a lot with my phone, and I really want to try and use Cyanogen Mod on it because I am cool!"

Well, I am definitely not that cool. It failed, and then after sadly being turned to my stock ROM, I decided to try Clockwork Mod, it seemed that some were doing it quite easily, so I attempted this myself.

Another failed attempt there, so I figured, well, the Clockwork Mod app had some cool stuff to it, maybe I will just satisfy myself by trying to change the bootup animation to Nyan Cat to make myself feel better about it.

The original purpose of me flashing a ROM over was to allow me to install apps to my SD card without having to go though a Myriad of things. Turns out, that was probably the better option.

Allow me to tell you the current symptoms, and let you know what methods I have tried.

Stuck on LG boot screen, does not load OS

Now no longer will power on or even try to without being connected to my PC (not sure how that came about)

Recovery (Power + Vol Down) does not work, freezes when telling me to wait (gave it a good 30 minutes)

Factory Reset does not work (freezes after second confirmation gave it about 30 minutes)

Methods I am trying but have so far had no success with:

LG Support Tool - (Tells me it stopped working at the beginning of the 3rd step in Upgrade Recovery) (I am letting it sit right now and is still there after about 20 minutes or so)

Unsoft Brick (OneClick Unbrick Java tool) - Flat out fails.

The Connect.img for VMWare fails ultimately

KS360 Util ENG (So far no luck. It crashes douring the upgrade.)

LGFlash Tool - I got it to say Ready and then boom, I unplug and replug in (as per instructions) and no dice, I get no "PASS" on it.

What I can do

Get it to the Download Mode screen.

So far I have tried these methods with and without both the SD Card and SIM card.

The phone IS out of service right now and I did soft-root it at one point using Ngyuen Root method King User, so I don't believe I will get any support, even if I do take it into Sprint (Got it through Boost Mobile).

What I am thinking I may be able to do (no research on this yet)

Is be able to run Linux Distro Ubuntu, force wipe it, and then force the stock ROM back into it to make it run again..

But so far, I have mostly broken down far and needed to post a thread about it here.

If any of you have any suggestions as to what I might do in order to get my phone back up and running (loss of data is irrelevant and already happened) again, that would be fantastic.

Much appreciated everyone.

(Thread posted by myself in Android Forums as well so as to prevent any confusion)

[[ SIDE NOTE: I wasn't sure where to post this, so when I searched for a thread regarding this device, it was posted here, and I scrolled and saw other device support threads. I hope this was the way to go! Sorry if I didn't get it right. ]]
[General Questions and Answers] Senpai Cat:
Just a quick update on the goings on:

Yesterday I was able to get it to try and boot without it being plugged in but it did only attempt so ONCE. I do know that after all of the tinkering I have been doing the battery should be at least 90% if not 100%.

This was also a great excuse to bump the thread and let you know I am still watching and hopeful ;)

Im sorry how Can i install a rom for a Trevi phablet 5.3 q? There is a tutorial?
[General Questions and Answers] kragebein:
Looking for an app that allows me to hide an app (Lets call it "Q") from the system, maybe in such a way that it doesnt appear to be installed either, is this possible? (i have root).

And I also want to password protect Q, all password protectors i find just popup a screen with a enter password-request whenever Q is opened, but Q is very clearly visible with its contents on the multitasking menu of the Galaxy S5, and this isnt good enough.

Its would also be a bonus if the app will not allow itself to be un-installed.

I want real security on this application. Military style. Willing to pay for it.

Does anyone have any tips?
[General Questions and Answers] NOOK!E:
As for app locking, I'd highly recommend AppLocker. Very secure, very reliable, just plain good all around.

As for app hiding, I'm not aware of any apps that do this. However, if you'd like to have it available on your homescreen, many custom launchers (like ADW) offer app shortcut label and icon changing. For example, I use ADW Launcher with the Minimalist theme, and I have my email app password-protected and labelled "Light Bulb" with an illuminated light bulb as the custom icon.

Hope this helps! And if it does, don't forget a thanky! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Rb03:
Get Hide it pro from play store. It has an option to hide apps using root and it won't even show up under Apps in settings.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartanuj.hideitpro
[General Questions and Answers] kragebein:
Unfortunately AppLocker is the first app i tried out. This just pops up a window infront of the screen whenever it notices that Q is open, but it doesnt really help when the recent apps list is up, all the contents are easily visible from the menu :/

When it comes to hiding Q, I was hoping i could make it dissapear from the "Installed applications" list in settings->Applications menu.

If someone steals the phone from me, they are not supposed to be able to find out that this particular app is installed.

Its already hidden from app drawer and is password protected. But if anyone checks the list of actually installed applications, it shows up there, and it also shows up in recent apps list. I want it to vanish :p
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] RonZombie:
What is the best deal going on for the Pre Sale?

Best Buy with the $200 trade in sounds good but it is $50 more than Amazon.

Anyone else running anu Pre Sale deals?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkManX4lf:
I went with the Amazon one. Saves myself $50...but I do have to wait for Samsung to send a check...
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kul_dood:
Does best buy price match amazon for cell phones on contract?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JadedFan:
I agree. And did the same.

$299 is better than $349. For some reason my shipping, even one day shipping chosen, is on Monday September 20 instead of friday the 17th through amazon as well. But for $50 I can wait a weekend. Add in the Samsung $200 promotion on my Note 2 and you get the phone for $99.00. You can't beat that.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkManX4lf:
I selected to say shopping and I'll only get it on the 21st

Amazon releases the phone on the 17th...and I guess it doesn't deliver ok Saturday or Sunday... But lately amazon/UPS has been using USPS to deliver stuff on Sat/Sun so you never know..
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] JadedFan:
17th, 18th, 21st, honestly those few more hours or days are meaningless. If it is worth $50 to some to get it on the 17th for sure, god bless them. I am fine either way, even though I plucked down the extra $3.99 for one day shipping. I may change even that. To each their own though. I bought the Note 4 for a myriad of reasons, but the main one that I am looking forward to is the VR headset by Oculus/Samsung which uses the Note 4 as its brains and screen. THAT is the real game changer among the new cell phones this year. There is not nearly enough attention to how big that will be. And that doesn't come out until November sometime. So I am fine with my Note 2 a few extra days.

My Note II + $398 = Note 4 + Samsung Gear VR.

Slap me and call me Mary, that is sweet.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] cartertucker:
I pre-ordered at BB yesterday. They said they would match Amazon, which surprised me. They also said I could use the $200 trade-in GC to pay for the phone.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] hardingn88:
Best Buy

I pre-ordered thru best buy. They are going to give me $200 for my Nexus S 4G!!! (It normally only would get $14.00 trade in) I also signed up last year for a $50 discount on my next phone at best buy. So if the honor amazon at $299, after $200 trade in and my additional $50 discount. I'll be paying $49.99 total with contract which I already paid into a gift card to pre-order it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Kul_dood:
How did you get the $50 price cut from best buy a year ahead of time?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkManX4lf:
Yeah I would like to know too [emoji1]
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
Ok... Pre-ordered. BB will give me the $200 for my ancient LG Optimus (heh heh). Here's my gripe... I was told I would have to pay the tax on the full price... $799 =$80... Arrgh. Total out of pocket = $164.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] cartertucker:
hmmm. BB told me specifically they don't charge tax on the full amount but only on the $299
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jfg69:
Lost my Note 2 back in August and have been waiting... using my Epic4G since and its killing me,lol.. And no one wants a trade in for the Epic.. :crying: Guess I'm shelling out the 299 if I want to play, unless I can wait for a few more weeks and see if I catch a deal on Amazon AFTER release.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] jhill110:
I hope that's the case. Maybe the SR was wrong. Doesn't even seem legal.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Mediocrates:
I'm really surprised if BB matches Amazon on cell phones, since on their price match page it states:

Our Low Price Guarantee does not cover:

The online prices of retailers not listed

Contract mobile phones sold by

any

online retailer
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] shabbypenguin:
put 50 down for two lines on my account, wife wanted white while i picked black. Luckily bestbuy agreed to take 2 ZTE avids i had bought off ebay for 10 bucks each for the $200 trade in :D.

While this wasn't my first (or even second) choice of device this year, but it seems it will be the best one available and will be my first 'Note' device. Will be fun to see if there is anything new dev wise.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] woodyth:
I'm stuck, do I do the best buy deal and get phone for 99 bucks BUT have to pay for their geek squad protection plan 11 bucks a month for 24 months (+$244) or do I wait and hope Costco gets it, pay 299 for it but only have to pay 99 bucks for protection plan that has no deductible so $400 up front? What do you guys think?

I just pre-ordered the Note 4 from Sprint....$329 total....can't wait !!!!!!!!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Plonko:
It really depends on the state / tax jurisdiction you live in. California, for example, requires retailers to charge the sales tax on the full retail price prior to discounts / subsidies. Other states may only require tax on the final amount paid to the customer.

[X 2014 General] Johnny Wong:
I am coming from an ancient Galaxy S2 HD LTE and a Droid 3 so switching to the Snapdragon S4 was a huge improvement for me in charge time, guess they have Quick Charge 1.0. With the Motorola charger that came with the wife's Moto X, I can get to 90% in around 2 hours from 27% which is pretty damn quick in my book considering the size of my batteries (3500 and 3300 mAH). I'm prepared to be impressed with the 30 min charge to 90% when people start posting their screen shots! LOL

However I received another m8 as a swap from HTC and this phone in the boot loader shows locked and not relocked which means its fresh. However the phone already had 4.4.3 installed on it. Should I even bother and try doing Firewater with this phone or will it not work at all? Anyone know the odds ?

6603: penta-band 3G, LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 13, 17, 20

It will work fine, on 3G. No LTE. D6653 LTE bands are utilized in India, Asia etc. North American LTE bands are not active on this device with the exception of band 5 which is supposed to be utilized by AT&T in some areas of NYC. AT&T uses bands 2, 4 and 17 elsewhere for LTE.

Is it possible to change the model number from 6653 to 6603? And if so how? Will it make a difference if you can?

So I received the update last night and then let it update over night while I slept. I woke up and my phone was off, I tried to turn it on and it would just go to a white screen and turn off again.

The same day, I took it to the Verizon store and they "tried" all they can think of to fix the issue but no dice. Unfortunately my USB port doesn't work properly (I use wireless charging to charge it). My warranty is out, I really don't know what to do. Help me!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
What was the status of your phone prior to the update such as whether its stock, rooted, unlocked, custom recovery, ROM, etc.

For now charge it so it will be ready to be troubleshooted.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
Without the usb port working, not much we can do to help. Your phone will not charge while off unless plugged in. (Someone correct me if I am wrong, I don't think wireless charge works unless booted into a Rom).

Have you tried contacting HTC support? Even though it is out of warranty, they should be able to help troubleshoot.
[HTC Droid DNA] Khalil_y:
Sorry for the late reply. The phone was completely stock. I've never done any software changes to it. I contacted HTC and they said that I have to pay for shipping and repairs, but if the phone is non repairable, I still have to pay for getting it shipped back to me as is. Dafuq!?
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
Have you tried calling a local repair shop like youbreakifix? If HTC says it needs Tue USB port repaired, there may not he a way around fixing it. I know my local shop was a fraction of the cost for HTC to repair my DNA (it had a bad power button and shattered screen) HTC quoted $300 because it was also s-off. The local shop was only $50 for the labor and then I provide the parts.

I was hoping HTC might know of a way to use the wireless charge with the phone being dead, but looks like you need a new USB port to manually charge your dead phone.

How does this app work to show history alerts and content of stacked alerts?
[Moto 360] aleekwen:
Augmented

the app basically keeps track of notifications and provides the history (prior alerts) as a scrollable view on the Wear.

It basically is a proxy for any notification from your android to your wear - with the ability to customize things (like vibration and sender pictures ) that the original app may not yet have done (for the wear).
