It happens to other smartphones too - for example Motorola Moto G 2014 (2nd Gen). It's annoying because one of the SIMs of Moto G can work only on 2g network and the other - on 3g and 2g. So this buzzing sound is always heard on one of the SIMs.

Hi folks,

I am trying to write a simple Spell Checker Client for Android based on HelloSpellChecker sample, and for some reason on different Samsung tablets, it does not work - newSpellCheckerSession returns null for whatever locale I specify. On an Asus Nexus 7 it works fine. They are all running 4.4.

I researched a lot and found some posts of people using Samsung devices not getting the red error marks for misspelled words. Some solutions suggested rooting the device and changing some hardcoded values there.

I really don't want to root or depend on a rooting for solution for this.

Anybody has an idea how to get this to work?

Thanks!

hi guys im new to the lg g3 (well any lg phone) just a couple of questions

from what ive read there isnt many roms due to the locked bootloader will the bootloader be unlocked in the future?

i have the D855 uk vodafone model is they a working TWRP or CWR for the g3?

ive rooted so does this mean i can at least remove some bloteware?

Yes, you can... , or freeze it. If you will the cause softbrick, use LG Flash Tool 2014 and flash in NORMAL mode latest stock ROM you used or use LG PC Suite. After this you need to re-root it. (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-unroot-ota-using-lg-pc-suite-pc-t2802286)

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaarky:
Not sure I understand you question, but if you mean, whether you will be able to update the phone via OTA in the future, it depends.

If not or if it will not work, unroot your phone, install OTA and the re-root and you should be fine.

But still - all of that is already described in dedicated threads, don't be afraid to take a look around. :fingers-crossed:

As for the development - I guess when it will not get unlocked, it will be from my perspective one of the most wasted money on Android phone for many.

I don't think so, but someone else should confirm it.

Eg. you can download FW based on IMEI (http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download-firmware.php?f=YOUR_IMEI_HERE), not based on whether it's branded or not.

But still you have option to use the tools like LG Flash Tool 2014 and simply flash latest firmware you want (for your variant)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ProFragger:
Hi Friends,

Long story short, I am over all the Samsung specific features on my Note 3, and am ready to have a bit more performance and speed by moving to an AOSP/AOKP ROM. Last time I flashed was a LONG TIME ago, so I need your help in getting me there. Appreciate the help in advance!:

My Setup: Knox 0x0, ROM/Build: N9000TUVUDNE6 (T-Mobile Stock) - (Rooted with CF-Root, I believe), NO CUSTOM RECOVERY

1. I HAVE TO install a Custom Recovery to get an AOSP/AOKP ROM installed, correct?

1A. If yes, which Recovery would you recommend installing?

1B. If no, what are the ROMs that I can install those and links for it?

2. If a Custom Recovery is required, this will trip my KNOX count to x1, correct? And there is NO way to avoid it?

2A. If it CAN be avoided, how do I do it?

3. What is the BEST AOSP/AOKP ROM available out for the T-Mobile Note 3 right now? I am looking for the balance features and performance.

4. Are there any outstanding AOSP/AOKP issues that are big and NOT working right now, like Camera, GPS, Bluetooth and etc?

5. Do I have to install a special Kernel or firmware to move over from TW to AOSP/AOKP? If so, which one? Link?

6. Lastly, if a Custom Recovery is required, do these steps sound right for this transition:

1. Backup everyone on my TW phone RM, TitaniumBackup and etc

2. Install Custom Recovery

3. Do a Nandroid of my TW ROM

4. Wipe all Caches, System like 3 times

5. Install the AOKP ROM

6. Install GApps

7. Profit

Did I miss anything? Thank you for your help in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ProFragger:
Folks, anyone? Appreciate your prompt help the TW ROM is killing me LOL!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] skadude66:
1. I HAVE TO install a Custom Recovery to get an AOSP/AOKP ROM installed, correct?

Yes, you need to install a custom recovery.

1A. If yes, which Recovery would you recommend installing?

Usually people recommend TWRP as their recovery of choice. You can download it at https://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hlte/ Download the .img.tar and you can flash that as AP in Odin.

1B. If no, what are the ROMs that I can install those and links for it?

2. If a Custom Recovery is required, this will trip my KNOX count to x1, correct? And there is NO way to avoid it?

Yes, it will trip KNOX to 0x1. There is no way to avoid it, unless you have a Canadian Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900W8)

2A. If it CAN be avoided, how do I do it?

3. What is the BEST AOSP/AOKP ROM available out for the T-Mobile Note 3 right now? I am looking for the balance features and performance.

All user preference. I like CyanogenMod for frequent updates, Carbon for the UI. Currently running Temasek's CM as it is a good mix of both Carbon and CM, imo.

4. Are there any outstanding AOSP/AOKP issues that are big and NOT working right now, like Camera, GPS, Bluetooth and etc?

Biggest issue seems to be the S-Pen not working after a while (requires a reboot) and NFC is not functioning, but some users have reported it to work with the SM-N900T

5. Do I have to install a special Kernel or firmware to move over from TW to AOSP/AOKP? If so, which one? Link?

You shouldn't have to install a special firmware, provided you're on the latest build of KitKat for the Note 3.

6. Lastly, if a Custom Recovery is required, do these steps sound right for this transition:

1. Backup everyone on my TW phone RM, TitaniumBackup and etc

2. Install Custom Recovery

3. Do a Nandroid of my TW ROM

4. Wipe all Caches, System like 3 times I have never seen accurate reports of this doing anything useful. Do the full wipe in TWRP, it will do everything you need to wipe.

5. Install the AOKP ROM

6. Install GApps

7. Profit

Essentially that's everything you need to do. If you want, you can install a custom Kernel, or install a flashable zip of SuperSU if you want to use that (compared to the built-in Superuser)

Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ProFragger:
Ska, that was very helpful bud, thank you for responding!

Two follow up questions:

1. In an AOSP ROM why would one even need the S-Pen?

2. What are the main differences between CM, AOKP, PA, Carbon and etc and where can I find their best, baked versions? By best I mean, most updated developer support and popular?

Thank you again for your help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] skadude66:
People use the S-pen as a stylus for their phone, without any if the features that Touchwiz provides.

As it stands, CM is updated every day with a nightly build, and our device maintainer has been on a tear recently. Carbon is updated frequently too.

My recommendation would be to try out temasek CM11, it has a good mix of all the AOSP features. Tons of stuff to customize!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ProFragger:
Thanks bud, I'll give them a shot. Was thinking about the SlimROM 4.4.4 or Pac Man... Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] skadude66:
Never really tried it. Like I said, it's all a question of preference! Try it out, if you don't like it, just flash another one!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
Also important: You will lose Wifi Calling and Voice over LTE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ProFragger:
Don't care about WiFi calling, but what is voice of LTE? Is it anything related to having data connectivity WHILE being on the phone as well? As in, will it switch to a CDMA like behavior, where data does NOT work, when you are on a call?

Cause I can't have the latter. What does Voice over LTE mean? Thanks for your help!

P.S. Any direct links to some of these ROMs you guys are using? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
Normally on a phone call, your phone will go from LTE to 4G. This allows the phone to be on LTE the entire time because it makes the call go over LTE (as data, but it doesn't count against your data). If you wanna see what it's like without it, go into the dialer, hit menu, settings, and set it to never use it. Then make a call.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ProFragger:
Ah, I see what you mean bud. But I am assuming that this feature is likely only native to T-Mobile? Is it?

I use my Unlocked Tmo N3 on AT&T. I don't think this would affect me, just like WiFi calling... thoughts?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
AT&T has VoLTE in limited markets, but I believe that you can only use it by flashing an AT&T based TouchWiz ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jeep447:
Ok just thought I'd throw this out there at the risk of being thought of as "rude", even though I'm actually just trying to help. I've been a member of this community for a really long time now and it's an excellent source of information along with a lot of great people who are always willing to help, and you can definitely get the most out of it but you also have to be willing to help yourself. Helping someone who doesn't understand something is totally different from helping someone who says "fetch me a link because I don't feel like doing it myself". I'm certainly not saying that was your "intention" so hopefully you don't take it that way, I'm just trying to put it into perspective as to how it can come across to those who are taking their own time to help you out. Odds are people who are willing to help also don't really care for doing menial work (like searching for links, etc.) which basically everyone is capable of, so I'm just saying that it might help to keep that in mind. Another thing to remember is that 99.9% of the questions you'll probably ever think of have been answered or solved already, so when you do take the time to become familiar with stuff like the basic forum outline, searching, and how to rate and subscribe to threads, it's actually surprising how self sufficient you become just from learning those things. Anyway like I said I'm not trying to be ignorant or "bash" you whatsoever, just thought I'd throw that out there because most people on here will always be willing to help whenever they can, as long as you're willing to help yourself! Hope it helps man :D

Before you go and install other roms, what issues are you having with your phone? If it's just the touchwiz launcher, you can always install Nova Launcher and use Titanium Backup to freeze touchwiz and any bloatware that's in the way.

There are definitely different apps you can use. Most people use Evernote, CM S-Pen Addon and Note Buddy. I don't think there's a way to get it to work right on stylus removal though.

Hi

I think this is different to the much discussed sim issues following CM11 flash.

In my case CM11 won’t boot with sim in the phone as opposed to boot but no network. I know about Galaxy Y etc to restore sim etc but my issue seems. Take the sim out and CM11 boots, put it back in and you just get black screen.

Can’t see this specific issue anywhere.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Dear All,

I am planning on moving onto the Universal very soon. I have been using an Imate for over three years now and have through their different models (Pocket Pc, KJam, Jamin). i am presently using the Jamin or the Prophet and although the form factor is something that I am used to now, I have decided to switch because the device's screen presently a lot of problems.

My question to my fellow forum members is whether one can use the EDGE - GPRS facility offered by different networks on the Universal. If I am not mistaken, this facility was not offered initially but maybe a software update might have taken care of it. Also how many official roms have come out so far.

Thanks and best regards

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Menneisyys:
It doesn't support EDGE (I think it's hardware-related because I don't know of any ROM that would). Either UMTS (3G) or GPRS. This is a big problem with the device.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] niketkumar:
Ya thats rite u cant definately use edge but AFAIK GPRS it works on it , even many of us use it..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Develo:
@%@#%^#$ !!!!!!! I bought my uni believing that 3G is a superset of EDGE, which should mean that they are compatible... crap!! i was gonna test this next week :o(

According to the wikipedia, Edge is sometimes called 2.75G, and depending on the implementation of the service provider, it can meet the 3G standard or even go beyond it...

This sucks!

D.

Edit: Just found out that my current service provider has EDGE, competition1 has EDGE, and competition2 is implementing 3.5G =o so it should work there.

expensive tho...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] michal.kreslik:
"It can meet the 3G standard" was probably meant as "EDGE can be as fast as 3G devices".

I don't understand why Universal doesn't have EDGE, neither. My newly bought Universal is on the way to my home right now. I have discovered the lack of EDGE in Universal just yesterday :)

Anyway, I don't see it as an issue as wherever UMTS is available, there's no point in using GPRS or EDGE. Just like there's no point in using UMTS where WIFI is available.

So I guess that HTC Universal creators were aiming to the future with UMTS while providing the user with just a basic data access as a backup in case that for some reason you can't connect to UMTS.

I dropped a line to O2 support in the UK if it's possible to equip my O2 XDA EXEC (Universal) with edge. Let's see. I'll keep you updated.

Michal
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SOG:
Cool, will wait for ur reply then :D after all I hope we can add EDGE to the universal :o even though I think GPRS is good enough, but it's always good to have one more function :p

I though EDGE will use more battery power when compare to regular GPRS though?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] michal.kreslik:
Unfortunately, the reply is as follows:

By the way, I wonder whether there really will be any successor to HTC Universal. The Athena (X7500, Dopod U1000 etc.) is not a successor to HTC Universal as it has a completely different form factor.

On the other hand, the i-Mate 7150 which has got the same handy form factor doesn't seem to actually exist as no one has ever seen a working sample.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Goldry:
Not that I'm defending O2 but I guess they'd argue that there's no inconvenience to their clients - you can get a free 3G SIM from O2, so why worry about EDGE?

i-mate 7150 = scam?

There doesn't seem to be any successor to HTC Universal yet. i-Mate 7150 doesn't exist:

I've been researching this device on the internet for quite a long time and I haven't found a single review where the reviewer would have a working i-Mate 7150 in his hands.

It's easy to make a non-functional model with the screen showing a static bitmap (which is the case of the above shown device, most probably).

What are we looking at is actually a very good joke of someone. What puzzles me is that so many sites have adopted this joke as a real thing.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fallenczar:
the "joke" as you put it was perpetuated by imate
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] michal.kreslik:
i-Mate is not making any devices all by itself. It's merely rebranding devices made by the primary manufacturers (like HTC, for instance).

It's very suspicious that these other manufacturers don't offer any such device even on a "coming mid 2007" basis.

That leads me to think that i-Mate made up this device merely to make its "stock" more valuable at the moment. I'd be the first to buy such a device, but that's not likely to happen as you can't buy vaporware.

Michal
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] michal.kreslik:
By the way, if you look closely at the i-Mate 7150 pictures, there's always a time of "11:13".

That means that the device is showing just a static screenshot on its display.

Imate i-Mate 7150

I-mate does not have a factory making PDAs. All of them are just labels for marketing purposes. For example Qtek, Imate, Dopod are just labels, the real company that makes PDAs is HTC and Asus. Even Dell and HP PDAs are made by HTC.

This i-mate 7150, well, everytime when we meet a label, they will be shown a couple of models. Its up to those companies to choose which model they want to market. This I-mate is an interesting concept. But then again to launch a PDA cost a lot of money.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] michal.kreslik:
They are presenting vaporware. I've been researching this "Ultimate" series, namely the 7150 one, for six weeks thouroughly on the internet. I'm the first one who would go ahead and get it. I've had PDAs from 1997. Now I've read dozens of articles on i-Mate 7150. Not even one presented the device as a real, hands-on one.

i-Mate does not actually manufacture any devices and they never did. They are just rebranding devices from the primary manufacturers. That's OK. But there's no word about any single manufacturer getting ready to release any similar device.

Why would i-mate present a series that's not going to be released or that's only going to be released partially? What about their stock going up after presenting the new series?

I'd suggest you should be more careful when handling words like "moron". Especially when taking into account a fact that you're a blonde.

I've seen all the three articles you are pointing to. Not a single one of them shows a functional phone. The screen is just a static image - something like a digital photo frame.

Let me take a quote from one of the "hands-on" articles that you cited. This article is actually the most cited one on this theme and the one that probably started this whole frenzy. Partly because the majority of people don't understand what's written in the article as it's written in Slovakian. Which is one of the languages that's I can speak. So, let me cite from

http://www.mobilmania.sk/Dalsierubriky/AR.asp?ARI=7704

"na stánku nebol k dispozícii funkčný kúsok."

This means "there were no functional devices available on the stand".
