[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] deathshead:
Same here, North Eastern PA, Nothing touches VZW for the network, and having UDP..

The mic holes thing i referring too was in regards to the other thread here, where the mic holes at the bottom of the device

are moved a few mm off from the rest of the variants, thus creating a case problem.

Verizon is well known for these types of shenanigans which drastically cuts down on accessories,

they did it with the gnex, the G2 (but DID offer qi charging as a bonus.) and not it seems the note 4.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Rippley05:
My phone did not come with replacement S-Pen tips or the removal tool. Samsung and Verizon are trying to ping-pong me back and forth between each other. How freaking hard would it be to send me some.

I think I have a buddy with the note 4 that still has his tips from the note 3..should be the same?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ryan2215:
nova + disabling samsung/verizon apps have mostly solved any software issues i was having. i am still going in on the root bounty though ...

Were you able to remove everything that you wanted gone? I was looking at a Verizon Note 4 in BB this afternoon, and there is a TON of crap on it. Of course it's a demo phone, so some of the stuff on it might not come on the phones that they sell.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] nuket74:
My Verizon note 4 came with the extra tips and removal tool. You should ask who ever you bought it from if that is an issue.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] theoretically:
^this. My vzw note 4 also came with tips/removal tool
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] ajgates92:
There's a nifty feature where you can disable almost any app you would want gone. I disabled all the bloat and love my note 4
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bbeelzebub:
I went in today to pick up two Note 4s and obviously there weren't any in stock. The black one would come on Wed, the white one on Friday. I decided to just go ahead and do two white ones since it was only two days later. I was kind of shocked they didn't have anything in stock.

Mine came with it n3 and n4. Let me check if they are the same from the look the tool is but haven't checked side by side yet.
[Nexus 6  General] brent_77:
i have a problem with saving money and since i don't usually have $740 in spending money in a paycheck, i bought $100 in gift cards the other day to "save" for this phone. the writing on the cards says it can be used for more than just apps, games, music, and movies. it mentions the Google Wallet app, so that's what i tried to use to redeem them. the section for gift cards is just a place to make a note of the gift card code. i called customer service and was informed that they do not allow gift cards to be used for device purchases. it does list a link on the back for full regulations, but the rest makes reading that seem unneeded. the store will not take them back even though they were not redeemed, so i am disputing the charges. i just wanted others to know in case they had the same idea. someone at Google should really send out stickers that tell people up front that they are not good for devices.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
common sense really... just because it doesn't say you can/can't buy devices doesn't mean you can. Knowing Google if you push hard enough they might refund you and disable the gift card.

It does suck... next time if you're going to spend that much money on something do a little research and it will help you in the long run.
[Nexus 6  General] funkyboy1281:
I work in retail and I can tell you no store will ever take gift cards back. We make absolutely no money on those purchases. We are just the middle man. It's always recommended to check the full limitations of the cards before purchasing them because stores can't return them.
[Nexus 6  General] hutzdani:
Wow that smacks, but it really sounds like a case of no research done, i mean really i don't think anyone uses gift cards except in small amounts and during holiday season for novelty gifts.

Also if you can't save money in your current account why did you not set up a direct debit to another account ?????
[Nexus 6  General] smalltownbird:
The stores make a commission on the sale of the cards, so they do make money. I manage a store, I see it on my bottom line at the end of each period. But we still don't take returns on them, but that is more the gift cards rule than hours because there is no way to deactivate a card.
[Nexus 6  General] funkyboy1281:
Well it's nothing really huge on profits, at least for my job, but yea the returns are slim to none. I've done them on very rare occasions
[Nexus 6  General] joshndroid:
i would get into further contact with google regarding your issue, if you speak to a regular rep, request to speak with a manager. Obviously they want your money in one for or another. If you apply yourself you may be able to strike some sort of conclusion to your problem
[Nexus 6  General] Ulver:
I remember someone trying to do this before. Like you realized, it's a no go. Hopefully Google can do something for you, but at the end of the day, you might be be stuck with the gift cards. Maybe you can take a hit, and sell the gift cards for $90?

Sent from my Xiaomi Mi4
[Nexus 6  General] Poke_N_PDA:
For those saying do research, it's only because you already knew. I knew because I had read it before. I mean think about it. Who would think a store would limit what you could buy with a freak'n gift card? This isn't the OP's fault. It's a stupid rule and google should refund him.
[Nexus 6  General] Lucke:
just a couple thoughts on this...

maybe you should start trying to save money instead of blowing it on a phone? there are these really cool things called savings accounts, they let you transfer money into them so you can save money, and some even earn you a tiny bit back too.

why would you ever think that buying something is equal to saving? the two actions are complete opposites.

gotta love fraudulently disputing charges because you made a mistake. sounds a lot like "the boy who cried wolf"

it's called "fine print", it details everything that you can and can't do with the card that they sell.

sorry for being an a-hole... but you brought this on yourself, and are now committing a fraud by disputing charges that you willingly made.
[Nexus 6  General] RedBlueGreen:
Exactly.. we know because we have read it.. something he should have done.

If you sign a contract for something then get f**ked over because you didnt read it all.. whose fault is that? Yours of course.

You can't have everything dished out on a plate for you in life.
[Nexus 6  General] harrison121:
Savings????

I know that Savings are important but if you get addicted to purchase something, it is not that easy to save money.....

Although Best of Luck with your savings.

https://play.google.com/about/card-terms.html

The terms aren't that long. And it's stated pretty clearly.

Chalk it up to a lesson learned and be glad it was only a hundred bucks and not a car, home or other large purchase.
[Nexus 6  General] clninja:
That's like buying an iTunes gift card and trying to buy an iphone with it.. Just seems common sense

Anyways.. Your fault for assuming with such a large amount of money
[Nexus 6  General] nextelbuddy:
not to play devils advocate but Ive never understood the thought process behind not accepting gift cards as cash.

If you pay $100 to get a google play gift card.. google gets that $100. $100 is $100 regardless of how its paid so why would google say Hey we will take your $100 in cash/credit card/paypal etc which has credit card processing fees associated with it and not take gift card balances which were paid the same? they already have the money so what gives? Maybe I myself dont understand how gift cards work with Google and iTunes. Is there more to the actual money exchange and where it ends up then most people know about?
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
Give him a break, he wants to buy this phone out right. Is it the smartest thing in the world? No, but what ever we live in a capitalist society.

He made it quote clear that he want to save just enough to buy this phone. People save a set amount of money with full intention of spending it on a purchase they can't afford upfront.

I think you should be able to use these cards, but you can't so nothing you can do about it?

---------- Post added at 02:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 AM ----------

There are a few options, t mobile prepaid, any prepaid debit card, savings...in the meantime I would sell these cards for cash and expect a loss....or go crazy google play store purchases lol

Very sorry that your purchase did not work.

Bell has recently replaced their "Self Serve" app with one named "My Bell". Opening the old app tells you to update and uninstall the old one. Seeing that the app is pre-installed, there is no uninstall option. I don't recommend uninstalling it because if they try to patch the app in an OTA update, you won't be able to apply the OTA because of the missing app. Freezing it until OTA time should suffice.

Hi im a total no0b to android dev and such..

what im trying to do is unzip an icon pack apk, change some pngs (keeping the same file name) and rezipping or pasting the files/folder back into the original zip and renaming file back to apk

i transfer it to my phone, i can see the apk has the official logo but when i try to install it on my phone (oneplus one) it just says "X App not installed."

can someone help me? or show me where i can find a tut to use some of the existing apk/or make my own?

i appreciate any help
[Android Themes] upndwn4par:
You won't be able to do that with a signed apk. It might be possible to replace pngs without unzipping. Try opening the apk as an archive and dragging in the new pngs.

already did that and it didnt work aswell...

[Sony Xperia M] Sai Bhasker Raju:
Easy there, this will Help

hey there,

i think i have a solution to your problem,

Download Androxyde XPERIA Flashtool

Install the software(let it install in c:\\)

after installation go to C;\\flashtool\\drivers\\flashtool drivers.exe . double click it.

Check fastboot and flashmode drivers when asked and another important thing is if u r using XMS/XMD plz checkmark Xperia P,U,S drivers too. then click next or install

Usually the fastboot button for XM is volume up button, power off ur phone and plug ur phone into USB holding volume up button(search for ur phone again before doing)

Wait for the flashtool to detect and u"ll see a Blue LED glowing

click on the flash icon on the flashtool and select fastboot mode when asked, then click on "kernel to flash" and select ur boot.img/recovery.img(it will usually be in the custom ROM u want to flash or search XDA u"ll find it)

thats it, its donw unplug ur phone and power on and when the Sony logo appears LED will flash , then hold volume up button and u"ll see it changes to BLUE,

Congo u entered into recovery

plz tell me if u got it or not, plz feel free to ask me . thnx :good::good::cowboy::cowboy:

Hi

i got my phone back from repair an i realized that the latest firmware got installed.

Nice but. On the latest FW the Wifi and bluetooth aren't working.

So i unlocked the bootloader, backuped TA. ... (see install notes of iHackers on locked Bootloaders)

When i first run iHackers 5.1 every thing works but the baseband (FW 133 with wifi and bluetooth workin)

So i flashed the Kernel and Baseband FtF and boom Wifi & Bluetooth are not working anymore.

So i reflashed 534 FW - (DE) Everything works (Wifi / Bluethooth / Mobile) But i realized .. the Camera is not working. Freezing in every possible application.

What the heck?! Now i am on 534 (rooted with cwm / twrp) with working wifi bluetooth and mobile but no camera..

It seems, as soon as i flash the Kernel & Baseband FTF (i also tryed different fw) i loose Wifi and Bluetooth.

kind regards

Thomas

Flashed

C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_DE.ftf

..Mobile working / Camera working (rooted)

Wifi and Bluetooth dead

So now what can i do?

i am thinking about flashing only the baseband from C6903_14.3.A.0.757_Generic_DE-1277-0154_R2C.ftf

but i am scared because i trashed one z1 by excluding every but baseband for flashing with flashtool

Thank God i got fast internet.. I downloaded some ftf to see how the different fw are working :

C6903_14.1.G.1.518_Generic_DE_1277-0154.ftf - > ANdroid 4.2.2 -> Wifi & BT working but camera crashes (mobile working)

C6903_14.1.G.2.257_Generic DE 1277-0154_R7A.ftf - > ANdroid 4.2.2 -> Wifi & BT working but camera crashes (mobile working) BB -> 8974-AAAAANAZQ-102700011-22

C6903_14.2.A.0.290_Generic DE 1277-0154_R2B.ftf - > ANdroid 4.3 -> Wifi & BT NOT working but camera works (mobile working)

C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_DE.ftf -> Android 4.4.2 -> Wifi & BT NOT working but camera works (mobile working)

Now i have to decide whats more important camera or wifi & BT

I think i need wifi & bT more than a cam but this sucks.. What is the Problem???!!!

Is it the kernel ? Is it the Baseband?

I now flashed C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_DE.ftf over C6903_14.1.G.2.257_Generic DE 1277-0154_R7A.ftf with baseband excluded .. Wifi & BT not working... BB : 8974NAZQ-10270054-51

So the Baseband Exlude Checkbox in flashtool is not working?! Because the Baseband version changed.

I am installing iHackers 5.1 again to see that Wifi & BT & Cam are working on Android 4.4.4 than it is settled to be a Kernel+Baseband (ftf) issue

I have no wifi mac adress and from the log i can see a bluetooth hardware init error. But bt is working on the 534 fw. I tested it. Also wifi is working on that fw.. is this some kind of driver issue?

I will try tomorrow restoring my TA from before i sent the phone to repair.. man am i pissed off. Send the phone to repair because of a broken battery and getting it back like this.. aaarrgghh
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyX235:
I have attached 2 log files containin possibly the error for wifi & bluetooth not working..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyX235:
Is somebody able to tell me if it is usefull and possible to extract the bluetooth and wifi drivers from a FW 534 backup and install it to the FW 133 maybe then my BT & Wifi will start working again.

"10-27 07:58:34.663: E/WifiStateMachine(1463): Failed to load driver"

BT a similar message .. =)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomascus:
you just don't simply mix these files for different firmware versions, they are not compatible with one another.

what i suggest you try is flash the entire FTF for a single version (.133 or .108) excluding TA and wipe everything
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyX235:
Ok... I flashed the Firmware :

C6903_14.1.G.2.257_Generic DE 1277-0154_R7A.ftf -> wifi & bluetooth working .. camera crashing...

Flashed C6903_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_DE.ftf with TA and BASEBAND excluded -> wifi & BT not working ->> camera does..

I also tryed it he other way around flashing only BASEBAND and TA from the older version. Still the Baseband is the one

from 108. - 8974NAZQ-10270054-51

It not seem to be possible only to flash the Baseband or to have the baseband be excluded. I alsways get the Baseband version according to the firmware.

I not sure BTW if the Baseband is the real reason for this error. I will try the iHackers 133 version again installing over the 534 FW. If then the Wifi and BT is still working on

FW 133 i have a phone with BT and Wifi and camera without a "phone".
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyX235:
I am also impressed that my phone is doing the flashing etc very well. You only have to keep an eye on the battery then everything is going nicely.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyX235:
So it is officially the Baseband!

I now flashed iHackers 5.1 over the FW 534 (where the cam not working)

I have a working cam (very smooth) and Wifi and BT on Android 4.4.4 but no mobile.

The BASEBAND is 10270054-56 (instead of 11- 22 (FW 534) or 54 - 51 (FW 108))

And MY IMEI is ZERO!!!

So now what? At first I am makeing a Backup of this configuration and try to get the Baseband of the 534 Version into this Rom.

Does anyone know how to do this?! I know that the BASEBAND of the FW 108 && 133 (see above) are NOT working) But the one from FW 534 is.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyX235:
I DID IT!!!!

YAY I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started from the combination with iHackers 5.1 with working cam / wifi / bluetooth without Mobile..

I flashed the Kernel & Baseband package for (provided in the iHackers Thread) and EXCLUDED the KERNEL!!

NOW everything is working!! And my IMEI is back again!

Quickly booted into Recovery (Phil's CWM) and made a Backup and pushed it to my PC!

What an adventurous journey! =)

YAY!
