Don't apologize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm grateful for the research and the time you put into helping me!!!!!! If you were in my shoes and stuck with the rezound then would you go back to stock via http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2509770 (since SMS/voice/data at least worked with ICS), try different 3rd party ROMS until I find one that works with SMS/MMS/voice and data (in hopes of finding a better OS) or try to find a fix for my TWRP recovery-gone-wrong?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
I would flash a custom ROM, then go s-off, then go through that procedure. You have to be s-off before you can do that. Honestly, if it was me and I needed to use GCI I would restore to stock and sell it, to be honest the Rezound camera on anything but stock is just marginal by today's standards. On sense roms the camera is much better
[HTC Rezound] mdugger:
Thank you for your advice! I have another issue for you...seems I can do no right. I started the S-Off by Rumrunner and during "pour 2" the phone got disconnected from the computer and now it is stuck in a continuous bootloop. It will show the HTC screen and then the LS intro screen, then turns off...keeps doing this continually. Is my phone now bricked?
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Pull the battery and boot into Hboot... Does it show S-On or S-Off? There is no partial s-off, either way, wipe and flash the ROM again it should be OK, if S-off your done, of S-on start over with rumrunner. You only need the ROM, no gapps or anything
[HTC Rezound] mdugger:
It worked! And it is S-Off!!!!Awesome!!!
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Now you can go through the downgrade/upgrade tutorial... I know there are steps that say it has to connect to Verizon's network, I'm not sure that's essential. TBH, all you really need to do is skip directly to step 2a step #5... I never did the "fastboot oem lock" at all (being S-OFF it should be irrelavent), the full procedure is usually for people with overheating or other "strange" issues.

EDIT: Really once you are S-OFF, if you are going to unload it, just wipe everything except external SD, flash the latest firmware and radio file, and then this ROM. Remember you are now S-OFF, so you can flash stuff via the PH98IMG.zip method... Put the firmware file on the root of external SD card and rename it to just PH98IMG.zip and reboot into Hboot, it will automatically flash, then delete the PH98 file... then fastboot boot TWRP and flash the ROM, no need to worry about fastbooting the kernel anymore either, then once it boots up and everything is good, format the SD card, and your done.
[HTC Rezound] mdugger:
Awesome! That took maybe 10 minutes to complete! Thank you for your guidance!!!
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Glad I could help and you got it all done... So are you going to get a new device, make any decisions yet?
[HTC Rezound] mdugger:
Not yet actually, I'm sitting on it until after the holidays and I have some time to do some research. Merry Christmas btw!!!

As we know, xda has recently allowed us to post best threads. Thats a difference from their policy before, which didnt allow best threads. Also, as we all know(well, most of us) that best roms and best kernels do not exist. Best would be whatever fills your personal needs and wants. As we all differ, our needs and wants also differ. Since all our needs and wants differ, its not possible to have a "best rom" or "best kernel". Whats best for you, could be the absolutely worst for me. So, even though xda now allows best threads, "best" doesnt actually exist. What they will turn into, if no arguments or fighting occurs, is just the same list of all roms and kernels that exist on xda. My question is whats the point to this? As in we reply in each thread with the truth, there are no best roms/kernels.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
I agree with you sims. The best out come of a "best" thread is opinions. I also pm'd a mod with the same concern as you.

[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Kj, I have to agree with you more than the mods in that thread. I just don't see how "best" threads contribute to one of the old tenants of xda of learning and helping others learn about their device.
[Nexus 5 General] Darth:
But they make the rules....so I take it as it is what it is. Lol
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:

[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Code of conduct
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
ahhh..

but what does the RC code of conduct have to do with answering what the best rom/kernel is with the truth???
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
nothing, as long as we're courteous, kind, and obedient
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
right :)

i just thought of a comparable question(without a real answer, since we all were raised differently).. whats the best color?
[Nexus 5 General] Darth:
And follow the rules. If best threads are allowed, discouraging them isn't.

That's my point.

K.....we should stop the RC talk there. ?
[Nexus 5 General] theesotericone:
LOL. I'm none of the above. Notice how I've been refraining from these best threads? Last thing I need is another infraction. That's why.

Simms,

Can you even prove to me that we all see color the same? Studies have pretty much proved we don't. For what it's worth I'm with Johnny Cash on this one. Black. Though technically that's the absence of color.:cool:
[Nexus 5 General] Darth:
Black is the best color. And yes, it's a color.

Thank you!
[Nexus 5 General] upndwn4par:
I think these threads are a bad idea.

Besides, everyone knows Graviton is the best. :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
no way can i prove that we all see colors the same, i dont think we do. we might call the same colors the same names, but thats just because we were taught to. do we see them the same, probably no, but most probably see the color similarly.
[Nexus 5 General] El Daddy:
Ok guys. You have made your points over and over here. As i said before. If you have nothing to add to these threads, don't post.

If you just let the threads be, they will fall off the front page and die a natural death. Instead, you're posting your same responses over every thread and pushing them to the top.

I am familair with all of you and I respect your opinions, but please respect me and just let it go for now.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] MattMJB0188:
Had the opportunity to play with the device today at Best Buy. First impression is picking this device up feels amazing in the hand. The build quality is superb. It feels very premium and solid. I haven't felt any device like this since the iphone 4S. Its also nice because the device isn't freakishly thin and actually feels comfortable in your hand.

The screen is the next thing you'll notice immediately. No other smartphone even comes close to this baby. Color accuracy is spot on and OMG is it bright! Text is so sharp and clear it just bounces off the screen. I actually think it was a little too bright, but that's better than not being bright enough these days.

Touchwiz seemed, for the most part, pretty zippy, definitely faster than the S5's UI. Of course Best Buy and Samsung's demo mode constantly running helped bog things down a bit, but it wasn't really that noticeable. I saw some lag with the Samsung keyboard, but again, nothing major. The new multitasking thing was pretty cool, and seemed pretty fluid, but there is always room for improvement here.

Seeing both colors in person, I probably prefer white. I am still a little undecided, but the white just stood out more, I don't know.

Enjoy the pics...

Unleash the best :D

Happy I got mine unleashed at home :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kawaisa:
If it actually looked like it does in the pictures then I'd get the black but instead, the black looks grey in real life.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MattMJB0188:
Yeah I noticed this too. I wish it was really black. Oh well.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] *Emix*:
White looks SO good.

Btw. I am not sure did you paid attention but when you touch back cover of the white how it feels compared to the blac? Is it the same exact soft plastic or different?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MattMJB0188:
It felt the same.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
Final decision im going for the white.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MattMJB0188:
Yeah my pictures did justice for the white lol. But I went with the black, preferably because I've had a white device for a year and I miss black.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
Once you go black...

Thanks for sharing the photos. Cannot wait for the Canadian stores to get a demo up!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
I hope the white back cover feels the same like the black one. I want rubbery feel not plasticky
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I'm not sure if the other guy actually has held both in his hands, but they don't feel the same. It's just like the Note 3....the white is more slippery and the black has more grip and is more tacky. I've held both and there is no doubt they are different.

It doesn't, please read above.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] americasteam:
+1 White feels nothing like the black one.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MattMJB0188:
I held them both. I didn't feel any difference between the two that was noticeable.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
Thanks. That would be enough. Even if the white is plasticky i would still go for it because of the looks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
I went to my local best buy just now and the back of the white is slippery and felt more plastic. Similar to the white note 3. There was a black note edge next to it and the back of it was grippy like my note 3. I could only assume the black note 4 is the same as the black edge.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] borijess:
I saw the note edge today and really liked the look. If it was mass produced I might of jumped on that one rather than the regular note.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
Maybe they did it on purpose so that dirt wont easily stick on the back of the white note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
I thought about getting it too but It was a good 1/4 inch wider so it was more harder to handle that the already hard to handle note 3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] d12unk13astard:
Thanks for the pics and mini review, after seeing how much space the system takes (over 11gb!!!!!) and only having 17gb useable ill stick with my note 3 til n5 comes out.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
WTF really?! Where did you see this? I must have missed this photo... That is horrible, 11 GB for Touchwiz + OS?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pcman2000:
Note the demo phones have the samsung demo software and sample videos loaded into the OS, making the demo phones have larger OSes. Since the Note 4 is 1440p, I would imagine the demo videos are very high resolution and therefore takes up a lot of space.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
I have read somewhere there is 20+ gb of free space on a new note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] d12unk13astard:
Still tho i prefer the note 3 storage over note 4, hoping the note 5 will have 64gb option. I have around 26gb free before installing any apps/games on my note3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
That sucks. Hopefully we get root so I can maybe use folder mount and take advantage of my 128gb card.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] *Emix*:
Thanks to everyone! I would go for the White even if it's harder plastic, i like it more and i didn't really liked plastic of the back cover on the S5, it was even "softer" than the Note 3.

No matter what i like White Note 4 more.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bladefrost007:
Me too im going for the white note 4. Its just more beautiful
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nomojo:
side atensas

I was able to play with the white note 4 at the store and I was not a fan of the back, it felt like plastic and was slippery. There was no black N4 in the store, but the back of the black N3 felt much nicer.

I also thought the metal surround was a little uncomfortable on the edges (the edge of the surround, not the Edge...that wasn't in store yet).

I would go with the black if the back is grippy like the N3.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] corrupteddata:
I ordered the black one for this reason. There was no black Note 4 on display at Best Buy, but a Samsung rep said it's back cover has the same material as black Note Edge on display which has soft plastic back cover.

Hey you guys if you are having trouble getting into recovery mode using the hardware keys use these instructions..

Master reset with hardware keys

If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys.

To perform a master reset with the hardware keys, follow these steps.

Power off the device.

At the same time, press and hold the Volume Down and Power keys until the LG logo appears.

When the LG logo appears, quickly release the Power key and press and hold it again.

Release all keys when the Factory data reset screen appears.

Use the Volume keys to select Yes and then press the Power key to confirm.

For there it should take you to your custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) I used this tip yesterday and it worked for me, I had used TWRP to restore my phone.. (It's my first time using TWRP and I'm really liking it so far)

Anyways have a good one you guys, be sure to leave a like for me thanks.
[LG Optimus L90] rsilvawashington:
Didn't work so well for me. It actually performed a data wipe, giving me a fresh install of CM11. Glad I backed up first.

Change to one of the newer recoveries. Factory reset has been deactivated because of the key combos needed to enter recovery.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyrosA:
Hello Guys,

I would like your help with an issue that i have with my LG G2!

I have updated to version 4.4.2 android version without problems (no root phone).

The problem that i face has to do with GPS. Generally, i have location settings off in order not to consume battery etc.

When i want to use my Navigation Software i enable location services but the phone need restart in order to work!

Even if i have enable the location the phone don't recognize the GPS as turned on and need to be restarted. The it works normally.

Can anyone help me how i can solve this problem?

Have i to put always on location services? In the past i didn't have this problem. Is this a hardware problem?

Thanks a lot,

How can I install a recovery (TWRP)? Mind that I cannot do any tricky boot with vol-up because the power button doesn't work.

Is there any other way to install TWRP? (maybe TWRP.apk)

[Captivate General] ssurell:
Upgrading from Cyanogenmod 11 Milestone 7 to M10 has greatly improved battery life and GPS funtionality and was a much better transition than moving from CM 10.2 which took some work to get it to run stable and not do random things.

I still miss the feature found in older versions that allowed the button backlight to turn on with the screen, but backlight notification works.

The native auto rotation does not work with the homescreens, dialer, and contacts which is annoying due to the location of the audio and charging ports on the phone, which lends to a reverse portrait orientation if you don't want undue strain on them while connected. Fortunately, the Screen Rotation Control app in the play store patches this issue when set to 'auto'. But then I also had to install the Auto Start app so it would at least be the first thing I see after the phone boots and can manually turn it on each time. Not convenient, but better than trying to dial while upside-down.
[Captivate General] dawgdoc:
Is the improved battery life and GPS function in comparison with earlier releases of CM 11 or with 10.2.x?

I've been keeping my Cappy on 10.2.1 and using it as a music player and sports tracker. The device has been decent with the GPS function, as long as nothing else is in the same pocket of my bicycle jersey.
[Captivate General] ssurell:
Better from M7 to M10. I don't notice much difference from 10.2, but I still might go back to gingerbread: It seems my gps still goes haywire under realtime stress. I probably have the wrong modem.
[Captivate General] ssurell:
bad radio hardware

After fighting with the GPS to no avail, I pulled the sim and in-effect put the Cappy in airplane mode. It's been in and out of sleep for over 12 hours while I set up a different phone and the battery has barely budged. I have pretty poor signal where I live and the wifi radio isn't great either. So the battery drain has everything to do with the hardware and modem firmware (if this helps).
[Captivate General] dawgdoc:
I had a memory lapse in my first response, my Cappy is on 10.1.3. I leave it in airplane mode full time. This does not interfere with GPS or wifi. I get about two days per charge, but that is with eight hours of GPS use, the screen is off during that time. I guess I will leave it on 10.1.3 and not upgrade, since the GPS is working acceptably and I am not using the device as a phone.
[Captivate General] ssurell:
Bad GPS, good Dev board.

So I flashed back to stock UCKK4 to see if the final Samsung firmware for the Captivate had a working GPS and it was worse than CM11, meaning it completely failed to lock on a sat standing still outdoors on an overcast day. Played with the sensor and wifi location accuracy settings, ran gps fix to point it toward North America/US but it utterly failed to get a lock. Now I know why they turn these in to dev boards. If it weren't for the gps flaw, I would use this phone as a daily driver because CM11 runs so nice on it.

anyone know the score on this??

been looking into this myself, trying to find where the tv subscription details are stored, but not much luck, managed to find the tv channel and radio station tiny images for the program, and changed channel 4 shortcuts to just the channel 4 logo, easiest way i found to do the tv for free on payg is using any old virgin sim cards (got about 4 a while back when they were free thru virgin site, so worth keeping ur eyes peeled for them, and when ur subscription runs out, chnange the sim to the other one, activate subscription for tv then swap back again, and then that will give u another 90 days free as it will be the first time its been registered for tv services, that will give u thirty days then swap again when that month subscription runs out, then again for another thirty then again for another thirty to the full 90, then try and get hold of another, and repeat again, meaning u will only need a sim every three months, the spare sim fits perfectly inside the back cover of phone too so can be left in there until needed, that will work until virgin gives the first ninety days for free, must be someway to hack into where it is stored properly tho.
