[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] DonQuichotte:
It seems adap is right. It turns out the Ext_ROM is'nt accessable after one more softreset, strange but true. Shame on me!

So be warned!!

Hello!

Been fiddling around with a Prophet today and found this tutorial to unhide and unlock the Ext_Rom of the Prophet. So I wonder if this will work on our beloved device too.

Well...what can I say...IT WORKED!!!

Ext_Rom is now visible under the name given, it's 8 Mb of size and full read/write accessable.

Just follow the the steps HERE.

[EDIT]

To safe you from trouble the changes don't work...keep in mind to turn off (standby) the PDA for a few seconds (30 s will do) before softreset.

[/EDIT]

Credits go to the guys from the Prophet section of this forum.

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] apap:
It would certainly be great if we are able to unhide and unlock the extended rom.

Since we have had problems in the past with theories of unlocking the extended rom that turned out to unhide the rom for a short while only to be hidden after a soft reset and with irreversible problems...can anyone say for sure that it works and stays ok after a soft reset?
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] apap:
I tried it and at least on my device it did not work. It revealed the Extended Storage card but it was not possible to view contents or to copy contents onto the extended rom. I should note, that I had tried earlier to unlock/unhide with a cab file so I may have messed up my extended storage.

If any one succeeds please let us know.

Hello Thomdac,

I have followed above procedure and am able to see contents but they are not editable and I cannot copy cabs to the external rom. Actually the behavior is somewhat quirky...I have managed to copy some of the files from external rom to another place but I cannot remove any cabs/files from the external rom or copy new files to the external rom. In short it seems possible to unhide the external rom but not to unlock it. Please let me know if this is your experience.

Thanks,

same here. very strange thing
[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] DonQuichotte:
Hello!

With the above procedure I was able to rename files in Ext_ROM + copy a file from \My Document to \Ext_ROM.

But after a further softreset the Ext_ROM was gone.

Will try the methode to recover the Ext_ROM soon.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] gadarius:
I opened up my s4 extremely carefully to replace a blown ear speaker but when I put it all back together my gps doesn't work anymore. It picks up zero satellites. I figure it's a spring connection or something but I've checked inside twice now for loose or missing connections and I can't find anything. Anyone know which side the antenna is on and which springs they are or how to diagnose where the fault is? Rather not take it in to have someone go click... it's fixed that'll be $100. Lol..

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] parcou:
Fam...

I bought a LTE Samsung 10.1 P605 from Verizon some months ago. It came with 4.3 already on it factory. I have been able to root it but that is all. I would love to get to a custom rom but with the Verizon boot loader issue not sure if totally possible get around the lock with 4.3.

I have read P605XXUCNE2 has been made available for the P605 LTE 10.1 models but my device does not show from it for update. I have gone to Sammobile and downloaded the P605XXUCNE2 (Nomadic) download listed for it.

Issue:

- Kies does not show for an update nor I see no way to push this rom NE2 manually

- Odin fails each time I try to push P605XXUCNE2 I assume due to boot loader

- Odin will not let me install TWRP (openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-lt03ltexx.img) posted for the LTE model

So I cannot install a OEM firmware like NE2... How can I force or push a firmware to this darn device if ODIN fails? Am I locked in no mans land since I pushed a model that has 4.3 already on it? Am I stuck since it is a Verizon LTE model...?

Anyone can provide any steps who know a little about this model how I can get NE2 on it or TWRP even though OBIN says fails each time I try??

Model came as 4.3 with firmware P605VVRUCNC2
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] blindmanpb:
I'd guess the issue is that your device is not an SM-P605. Your device is an SM-P605V. The latest firmware SamMobile is showing for the 605V is NC2 (which should be 4.4.2, not 4.3).

I am pretty sure you are screwed if you want to flash Roms. Probably best bet is to sell it pay off what ever you owe or break contract and go to T-Mobile or buy WiFi (better for flashing Roms if you can handle not having LTE)

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jprep:
Is it safe to say this phone is future proof? I'm in the market for a new smartphone and the X has been at the top of my list(Pure edition). They've already confirmed it will be receiving Lollipop so thats a plus. I know the 801 processor is no slouch, but i'd have to imagine everything moving forward by 2015 should be carrying an 805. Although its still early, the lack of development (based on threads) kind of turns me off. I don't want to solely rely on Moto to push updates to my phone. I'm a flashaholic, so not being able to mess around with the latest drives me nuts lol. Aside from that, the specs on the phone seem great it runs fluid and its a great size. What do you guys think?
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sthpaw01:
I think of this phone like a "Nexus+", its pure stock android with very useful features. Dev doesn't seem like its going to take off any time soon for this phone. By the way people are talking on the forum...we should be one of the first to see Lollipop on our phones so that's a plus for the X.

The only downside I see on this phone is the camera could be better and an SD card slot would be great. I'm sure a future update will take care of the camera issue.

And nothing is future proof. ;)
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Wong:
Motorola phones have been pretty "future proof" as I still have plenty of support for my Razr Maxx HD. If you have an unlocked bootloader (pure edition) then you are good to go. As far as processing power, the phones are much more capable than anything software developers can throw at it. I have a lowly S4 in my Droid Maxx and everything runs smooth. One thing to consider since you are a flashaholic is that the stock rom will be better than any other rom out there since the software that makes a moto x a moto x does not work on other roms, ie. the active display and touchless controls. Of course there are alternatives but they are no where near as polished and well executed. The twist to launch camera feature is so simple I can't believe it is a moto exclusive. Makes you laugh at those other developers and say wtf, such as wtf Samsung, their software is awful, so much so that you can't even be mad at it, just have to laugh. That is the reason why development for the og moto x and droid ultra/Maxx is so slow or in the case of the Maxx, CM dropped it completely. It is not because of poor sales, but because there is a lack of interest. I've flash many ROMs on my razr but I always end up switching back to stock, debloated of course.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note10.1Dude:
No current phone is future proof...

The last year has seen very little advance in ARM-based phones. That won't be true of the next year. In a year, only low-to-mid range phones will be 32 bit. New chips will be on 20 nm process with better power management. I've ordered a Moto X to be a 2-year phone, but in 2 years, the current technology is going to be quite dated. My hope is more effort is put into power management than processing power for the next generation. I think the X will be updated regularly making it last better than an S5 or G3, but it won't stay current for capabilities a year from now.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdubya42:
I loved my Razr MAXX HD, just like Johnny Wong said, and it can still hold its own ( What I mean is that Moto phones usually have great support for long after they have been released). I don't necessarily think the phone is "future proof" because its hardware will certainly be outdated by next year. But, I do think this phone will be useful for years to come. I get that pretty much means future proof, I just wouldn't exactly use that wording. I have the VZW edition, so I don't have an unlocked bootloader, and I will be upgrading in a year. If you get the pure edition I think you will be set. I agree that this is almost an update to the Nexus 5.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyHal:
I would like to purchase the Nexus Player to replace my old Roku box.

One of the things I liked about the Roku were the assortment of channels in the store. A lot of them were crappy but I was happy with the foreign movie channels and some that were viewer provided.

Will the Nexus Player have such channel selection and user provided content?
[Nexus 9 General] fallen2004:
I have been waiting for the nexus 9 for over a year and was very happy with the outcome my issue is that the price premium for the 32GB model is too much. I have attached a comparison of the nexus's, ipads and tab s's.

I originally completed the comparision to see how the conversion between $ and £ was working out, which apparently is about $1.25 per £. This is in line with the competition, and makes sense bearing in mind the UKs higher VAT. I have to note that the conversion for the 32gb model was not as good ($1.20), so I compared the storage premium.

The new IPads jump from 16gb to 64gb for the same price that the nexus 9 jumps from 16gb to 32gb. This means that the cost of each extra GB for the nexus 9 is $5/£5 , whereas the ipads are $2.10/£1.67, which is less than half the price.

I am really annoyed at google for doing this, no way is 16GB of extra storage worth £80, but as the tablet has no expandable storage, I will have to pay the extra. If for £80 the storage jumped to 64GB like the IPads I would be a lot happier.

What do you guys think of the price difference of the models? Do you think there is any chance of google dropping the 32GB models price to make it more in line with Apple (I didn't think I would ever say that apple gives better value than google but that is the case).
[Nexus 9 General] Firesail:
I really think Google gone mad on pricing the Nexus line up this year. Most of the people bought Nexus Devices just b'coz of the competitive pricing.
[Nexus 9 General] Migamix:
good pricing, and because of the price, last years chips. to my understanding, the new devices use the new chips and if we don't get the annoying screen issues plaguing the N7.2 , will be worth it. I've already told them to take my money, even though I have very little of it, and swore I would not get one so soon due to the issue I have with my N7.2

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

a comparison of just ram specs alone is not enough. its like comparing cars just based on their trunk space alone . toss in chip (engine) and battery (gas tank) and a few other specs to make the comparison more realistic.
[Nexus 9 General] fallen2004:
I know that the tablets all have different features. This was not meant to be a comparision of which tablet is the best value, I was just demonstrating how google has completely overpriced the 32GB model compared to the competition of which the IPad is the major one. The main point was the nexus 9 is the same price as the IPad mini 3 in the UK for the 16GB models but you can get the 64GB IPad mini 3 for the same price of the 32GB nexus 9.

So google should either bump the storage of the 32GB nexus 9 up to 64GB with no price increase or should knock £30-40 off the price to be more inline with its competitors. I have noticed that the price premium for the extra storage is not as much in the USA where the nexus 9 32GB is $20 cheaper than the IPad mini 3 64GB. I do not understand how there is $20 difference in the USA and no price difference in the UK.

The Nexus 9, specifications wise is meant to compete with the iPad Air 2. For an extra $80, you got to 32 GB from 16 GB while on the iPad Air 2, you go to 64GB from 16GB, but the base price starts at $100 more. The selling point over the Fire HDX, is accessibility and freedom.
[Nexus 9 General] fallen2004:
I didn't think of looking at amazon.

So apple, samsung and amazon all charge $50 for a storage increase from 16GB to 32GB, whereas google is charging $80.

I am very disappointed in google for this, why did they not do the same as everyone else and charge $50 for the storage increase, which would have made the 32GB nexus 9 $449.

I'm trying to understand device encryption. If I encrypt my device, do I need to use an alphanumeric password each time I unlock my phone or only when it powers on? I'd rather use a pattern for regular use but am happy to enter a passcode on startup.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Iruwen:
You have to use a PIN code as encryption is tied to the PIN code by default. With root, the boot password and PIN code can be set independently and the unlock PIN code can be replaced by a swipe pattern or nothing at all based on your location (using Xposed and the No Lock Home module for example).

Well, I should say - there are none...that support a EXT4 'userdata' partition that GPe uses by default.

There is another option that will let you use custom kernels with the GPe ROM.

You need to convert your 'userdata' partition to F2FS and may possibly need to reflash the GPe ROM. Then you can use any custom kernel that supports non-GPe stock.

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone here could help find a solution on how to power on a phone without actually pressing the button? Is it possible with some signal, maybe wifi or usb? Is it possible to tweak bios (does it even have a bios) so that phone will power on when power comes back (phones will be connected to NPS)?

Any recommendation will be very appreciated, thanks.
