[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techngro:
Ok, it looks like there is always confusion when you go to a Sprint store and try to get a SIM (UICC) card (see the first link below). That's because the overwhelming majority of Sprint devices don't use SIM cards (at least not accessible like they are for GSM devices). The good news, however, is that you CAN get a SIM card for Sprint, but you either have to go through Sprint's international customer service or order one from Amazon or a similar place (see links below).

I hope that helps. I am interested to see what your results are with testing the device on Sprint (if you ever get the SIM card). I probably won't ever use Sprint, but it's good to have options.

Edit: If you read this thread, you'll see how much of a pain it is to try and get a Sprint SIM card through their regular customer service or store.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzchen:
Bad News!

I tried to research this for you. The short answer is that they were not lying to you. It is true. They have SIMs in their LTE phones, but don't seem to provide SIMs for phones that are not "Sprint" phones.

The idea of getting Sprint service does not look good. While LTE is GSM and their newer phones have SIMs because of this, they still use CDMA to verify/allow each phone onto their network. So I searched if they have any Bring Your Own Device plan. What I could find is that they have a Bring Your Own SPRINT Device plan, meaning, it had to have been a Sprint phone in the first place. I checked the Huawei Ascend Mate7 spec page on the Huawei site, and it does not list any CDMA frequencies, as well......
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getmobilephone:
Thanks to sanjsrik, Techngro, jzchen.

We have limited knowledge about LTE service providers in USA. Your answers make this very clear to us.

B4 AWS seems being ignored by most Chinese phone makers. Under the current situation, then no service providers in USA could enable the LTE function on MT7-TL10.

Thanks your valuable input.

Something for the O2 UK and Movistar Argentina users out there.

I use the TU Go wifi calling app quite regularly, and decided to make it fit in better with my inverted rom theme.

Still a couple of small issues that need fixing, that I may or may not get around to - this was a spare-time project, not planning on spending a lot more time on it unless the app itself is updated, so there won't be any aggressive bug fixing going on :) Just figured since I'd put the effort in, might as well share it with anyone who wants it.

I've tried to include the required edits for all screen resolutions, but it was tested on my HTC One M8, so there may be the odd glitch on lower resolution devices.

Download here: AFH | MEGA - Playstore version v2.2.0.2990 (6th October 2014)

Just download and install like a normal apk.

Please note, this is only a cosmetic mod, the functionality of the app remains the same. So if the Playstore version isn't compatible with your device/network, this won't be either.

Note to moderators: this is a free mod of a free app, so shouldn't break any XDA rules. Hopefully Telefónica Digital won't have any issue either!

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stu5797:
Mind me asking what the difference is between the 2 cm11 Roms?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
CM11S is an outdated CM11 ROM meant to be an official OEM release. It comes with Hexo CM11 theme.

CM11 updates every night, bug fixes fixed real-time pushed to you every day.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
CM11S isn't really "outdated" its just the most stable release that passes the QA (Quality Assurance) test and is certified by Google.

CM11 more or less gives you a preview of what will be available in the next OTA. You can add your CM11S apps onto CM11 nightlies. http://www.cmxlog.com/11/bacon/ for the changelog.

To OP, you could have simply Google searched your answer.... next time please do that.

http://www.cultofandroid.com/67917/oneplus-ones-cm11s-rom-regular-cyanogenmod-11/
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Only reason why I call it outdated is because when CM11 had the latest touch fix to fix ghost touches, I'm all up to my friends saying "THE TOUCHES FEELS SO GOOD U SHOULD TRY IT OH WAIT HAHAHAH".... Yeah... I'm weird.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Well... to be fair, you can use CM11S and use a custom kernel to have the new touchscreen firmware.

It just hasn't been updated because they're still working on other things other than the touchscreen firmware.

I do agree that they should do a small hotfix on that part, instead of waiting for everything all at once.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
That's true, but it's more of a reason to convince people to switch from 11S to 11 or just AOSP custom roms in general.

But you're still missing out on newer potential features for the phone still only available to find on AOSP over 11S....which required a rom upgrade, like the screen artifact update.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Actually CM11S XNPH33R + kernel with the new touchscreen firmware has no problems... strange right? :p

No screen artifacts whatsoever
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
But that's the thing.... It doesn't have screen artifacts because it doesn't have the partial display commit update in the room so kernel developers don't add that in... Right? o.o

Okay, well the forum says no n00bs, well I am a n00b in ways when it comes to hacking the MTK6572, but I figured it out, it works, had others test on their own MTK6572, one a THL and the other ZTE Mini Q and it worked.

There are some bugs to work out in the Mini Q, apparently it does't like the mod, won't mount the external storage, can't figure this one out yet, so any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I wrote instructions on my blog, the latest is the most stable, flashing will not force you to recover your settings, backup is important but this latest mod has made that unecessary, as long as you download only the EBR1, if you format or flash an old backup of your system.img, cache and data.img, well then you will have to do everything again.

Hi guys,

Just got a Wizard (over the moon with it, great device).

I'm sync'ing with my mac using Missing Sync 2.5, however when I'm copying files to the wizard it keeps disconnecting.

I just noticed the WMStorage utility, however when i activate it and connect it to the mac nothing happens.

I have transferred files via bluetooth but its painfully slow and as the files are copied to My Docs I'm limited to the size of files I send.

Has anyone else experienced the same probs, if so please help.

Thanks in Advance,

I'm posting this in General/Q&A because I'm new but I feel this is a legitimate question so hopefully someone can assist.

I have a Korean (LGU+) G900L with CWM 6.0.48 recovery and rooted with CF-AutoRoot. I decided I was sick of the Korean bloatware and set about flashing XtreStoLite v1.3.6.

I flashed the updated Bootloader (KLU1ANI1) and Modem (KLU1ANH2) provided by edgarf28 through Odin 3.09 and verified success.

I then flashed the ROM through CWM Recovery using the Modded Stock option for the G900L (vs KToonsez) and UK CSC with success (boot).

After boot and initial setup (WiFi, Google acct, etc) I noticed there was no mobile signal. I verified APN settings and set the mobile network to auto select (and it found LGU+) but still no connection. I also tried to access the network/frequency menu via the secret code but just got a "Mobile Network not Available" message.

Has anyone had this issue? Or more importantly, has anyone SUCCESSFULLY flashed XtreStoLite on G900L?

TL;DR: Flashed XtreStoLite on G900L and can't get mobile network to connect.

[MENTION=6030358]Wing126[/MENTION] bro

For CM11 or CM based roms u need a unlocked bootloader. And for other Sony stock based custom roms u can install in Locked Bootloader.

Unlocking Bootloader will void ur warranty ( in some countries) and also u will lose ur Bravia Engine 2. So if you have any plan to unlock ur bootloader means kindly backup ur TA partition. U can get TA backup tool from Sony cross development section. Best of luck.. Take care of your lovely XZ...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShindohKun:
Device: LG Realm (LS620)

yesterday was searching the ye old internets to find ways to increase the volume of my phone (mainly with headphones) and found a video about using ES File Manager to edit mixer_paths.xml (Device/System/Etc/Mixer_paths.xml) and the lines i edited were

<ctl name="HPHL Volume" Value="9" />

and

<ctl name="HPHR Volume" Value="9" />

when i tried changing the both values from 9 to 15 it would let me put one character for every character i deleted so i removed a space from behind the "<" in "<ctl", (which was a bad move obviously) and i saved it, rebooted it and noticed my phone was lagging like hell and when i tried doing anything that required sound, sound wouldn't play and it would freeze up, i also tried with headphones.

so i tried editing the file back to normal and all i did was change 3 characters so it wasn't hard to remember what i did, so i put it back to normal, saved it, and rebooted my device and it did the same thing so i said **** it and factory reset my phone

it wasn't lagging anymore but my sound isn't working at all now.

i have no idea what to do, and there aren't any custom/stock ROMs for my phone on the internets

Better hope that one of those suggestions would work for you, 'cause the internal nand is not replaceable, unless you have some quite hi-tech equipment. If need be, you have to replace the whole motherboard. True, when the nand cannot be physically written on anymore, it would show those symptoms. Yet imputing fault to hardware is a guess in most cases. Because I don't hear people complaining about the Nexus 7's NAND being a dud much(compared to the Acer A500, for instance).

I'm always experimenting with my U, but this time it happened something strange.

After one of my many tests i reflashed transcendence kernel and when i was about to leave recovery it asked me if i would like to make sure that other recovery didn't reflashed after reboot automatically and i said yes.

The problem is that now i can't get rid of this kernel!!

I enter recovery and flash another kernel, everything ok, but after i reboot i still have the old transcendece kernel.

Already relocked bootloader and flashed stock fw with sony pc suite and unlocked again and nothing, the damn kernel is still there!!!

What can i do? Anyone knows what this is?

I first noticed an issue with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (well documented as it turns out) where the default controller map on the NVidia controller is ... wacky. I understand that the software company is responsible for generating these maps and that many older games will not get updates anytime soon (if ever). NVidia Gamemapper seems pretty decent and I have customized emulators to work well with the controller; however, I do not know how to bypass the software's "detection" of the controller to allow me to remap it to something better. Are there any work-arounds, obvious answers, or great apps out there that can fit the bill?
