The fact that it has high end specs mean nothing when it comes to phone holding value over time. Google will never drop the price via the playstore but as the previous guy said, many users who will get it via contract subsidy for $200, will sell it for $550 new on ebay.

Wont that result in you buying a phone that is tied to someone else's contract and whatnot...?!

Ive never phone a phone from those circumstances so i would assume that to be the case and you would have to go and check to make sure its clean and ready to go. seems like a lot of time/work...but idk

There is a risk that the phone you buy is blacklisted. I normally check the person's feedback and look at their EBay rating. Most people that have a long history of selling stuff on EBay want be looking to scam you.

I hide the update notification for 4.4.3 a while ago and have been unable to find the thread that described how to do this. I believe it involved editing a value in SQLite and maybe renaming an apk too?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
Hi guys

Unfortunatly my time has come to have a possible hardware issue.

Yesterday my N5 was connected via USB (like I usually leave it resting at work / charging) and out of the blue, rebooted. Google logo shows up, and reboots right away. Trying VolDown + Power shows up the menu but I hardly have any time to select bootloader or recovery, and when I do, it eventually reboots again after a couple seconds.

I'm able to turn it on and have it on if I avoid touching the power button, when I do, sometimes it works (screens just turns off), sometimes ir shuts down after a few seconds after doing so. It's not always, but happens three out of five times.

Connecting the USB cable has the same behaviour, sometimes it's alright and I'm able to copy files and so on, sometimes it shuts off and there it goes into bootloop again.

So, I got home, opened it and I looked like a donkey looking at a castle lol. I had a disconnected brown wire on the right side of the battery which I was able to fix, but that doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem.

The power button feels ok, it's not exactly rattled or anything, it has on/off feeling. if you know what I mean.

Problem is, I bought this in second hand in london about 6 months ago, would be hard to RMA and probably they would give me the finger.

Anyway, suggestions? Anyone went through anything like this? I doubt it's a software issue (rom) cause the same behaviour happens when on recovery / bootloader. Sometimes it holds on and lets me do things, sometimes it doesn't. Most often, doesn't.

Any help or tips are greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Back to my LG 4X :(

I have used the G3 Cloudy Rom for some time but I just went back to stock...

I´m rooted with custom recovery and I run a Stock Rom ODEX. I also have Xposed Framework and G2 Tweakbox

I have seen some different Navbars that gives the Android L-look and I also used it on the G3 Cloudy. But I can´t find any similars to Stock Rom. If I use the "NonRoot" I only get the customized Navbar in settings and in apps... not on my homescreen. Is that supposed to work like that?

Even use a Lollipop as a controller.

App Description

A motion sensing game that precludes the need for an exclusive Kinect kind of motion sensing input device.

An android camera phone, and an object of your choice for a joy stick, are all it takes to play ‪#‎Semmagame‬.

For best performance, connect your android phone to large screen using slimport or MHL, always keep the phone at 90 degrees to surface, do not have reflective surface or mirror behind you (controller or player).

Please note, this is a processor intensive game. It works best of devices with 2GB Ram, 2GHz processor, front

camera, and a GPU.

Adding a new controller

Align the phone so that the front camera is not obstructed. Please see the video, before you start playing.

Use the settings Menu to add a new controller

Place the controller so that it faces the front camera, and occupies the red box on the screen.

Wait till the red box turns green, and the controller turns white on the screen.

Hit the play button

hi i'm a new one on this forum and i wont your help please

i have a Samsung galaxy S3 sprint i bought on ebay and this model of GS3 doesn't has GSM Sim Card slot.

i'm looking for motherboard that it has sim card slot and i wont to change the motherboard using all part of GS3 Sprint.
[XDA Assist] Perseus:
So Effectively you want to gut the phone and use just the body to transplant into a GSM Phone. The motherboard of ATT SGH-I747, (ATT GS3) is available on Ebay as well. But you have to understand a large part of the money you paid for this phone was to wards the motherboard you don't want. Also even if you did buy a motherboard from Ebay or elsewhere, there's no guarantee that IT'S IMEI is not blocked.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slash5bmw:
Is there anyway to increase the signal strength of the Note 4?

I have to put the phone up in my upstairs window to get the Spark icon to come on. When I do that, it sometimes switches back to 3g.

I know the Galaxy S3 had an external antenna test port near the battery when you removed the back cover. I don't see any similar ports on the Note 4. BTW, I never used the test antenna port on my Galaxy S3 since I heard it could damage the internal antenna.

There seems to be some electical contacts under the cover of the Note 4. Any ideas on what they are?

I contacted Wilson Electronics and a rep there told me that they aren't allowed to boost or amplify the Spark signal. The FCC won't allow it and Sprint in clamping down on this technology because they want to stay ahead of their competitors.

http://www.wilsonelectronics.com/

I remember people using Pringle cans in the old days with their wireless routers.

Is it possible to extend the Note 4 antenna with a wire? I'm just shooting in the dark.

Thanks.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpvlog:
I have an issue where I will be getting LTE when the phone is sleeping and as soon as I wake it, the phone will drop to 3G. As funny as it sounds I used a plastic ruler to wake up the phone so I my hands or arms would not interfere with the signal and it still does it. This must be some kind of software thing because I used Open Signal to monitor the bands and it legitimately connects to LTE while the phone is sleeping and then switches to 3G when it comes out of sleep. So if I am ever downloading big files or uploading files I usually do it overnight where I will not bother the phone.

I get 2 bars LTE at all times and full signal 3G.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kwazytazz:
Same problem here. Drops to 3g like hot potato...nexus 5 on my other line holds on to lte b41 like it's life depended on it....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk8882:
I don't have the note 4 currently (Note 2).

However, with LTE or 3G a "corner reflector" works with the Note 2.

Basically, cut out a box so you're left with only 3 "sides" in a corner, and line it with foil. (Trial and error on the size, I think 12" would be overkill but should work, although a smaller one would as well).

Then, you use a block of foam or such to prop the device somewhere within the corner and also "aim" the corner reflector towards a tower. By trial and error, you can find the best position. It's helped if there's a dialing code (like ##DEBUG# on note 2) that lets you monitor signal strength while you move things around. The trial and error can take some effort...

Wikipedia page on corner reflectors

Example of DIY corner reflector instructions for WiFi antennas

Adding the corner reflector makes the omnidirectional antenna act more like a directional antenna.

If you knew exactly where in the Note 4 the antenna(s) are and what frequency(s), you could calculate out the ideal size of the reflector and position for the device inside the reflector, but I found it easy enough to just experimentally move things around with trial and error.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
I've got the same issue. What sad is my area is spark enabled so I should be able to connect to Sprint's 800 mhz (or 850 mhz?) lte network or all. Three frequencies and be on spark. But nope, I'm on crappy 3g but my Note 3will connect to lte.

My Note 4 will connect to lte but it won't hold a connection as good as the Note 3.

I'll give that a shot but I'm not sure it makes sense.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jauger:
Most people confuse LTE with Spark, two totally different things. I see in your profile you are in NYC where Spark has rolled out. A lot of forums there's talk about the N4 having a problem switching bands, one work around is setting Band 41 to 1....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
What I meant was why make the 2.5ghz band the higher priority? Why not make band 26 (800mhz)the higher priority?

Since my issue is indoors and 800mhz penetrates walls better than 2.5ghz, I figure the priority should be band 26, 25 and Last would be 41?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jauger:
My thought as well, but seems to be the way to make the N4 switch bands like it should. Like I said I'm reading this in other forums so I figured it might help ya out....:good:
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
Ah ok cool. Thanks. I'll try out both configurations and see how it works out.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninoriff:
Because Band 26 has not rolled out extensively as of yet, Go to antenna search and see what is rolled out in your area.

NEXTEL LICENSE HOLDINGS 4, INC. Towers are generally listed as such (Band 25 and 26) look at the operating frequency 1900 (Band 25) 860 (Band 26) (if live)

Clearwire Spectrum Holdings Iii, Llc Towers or Sprint Spectrum LLP is Band 41, if dual radios exist in your area or if you area is completely converted.

Change Band priorities is an excellent idea, especially if you are in a Spark area.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkManX4lf:
I'll take a look at antenna search but based on Sprint, my area is Spark enabled, which I thought means all 3 bands are available. Or am I wrong?

Changing band priority does not work..I've tried it..

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilotmills:
The network will ultimately decide where to put your device based on load balancing and bandwidth/airlink saturation. It typically goes B41,B25,B26. All that changing band priorities does is change what your phone scans for first. Once connected, it's up to the network what band you end up on.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak2pacalypse:
I think something is wrong with the note 4. I am in downtown baltimore., which is supposed to have excellent SPARK coverage. I'm sitting here in my apartment and very very rarely the phone does somehow connect to LTE spark. When it is connected I get somewhere between 6mbps - 35mbps and the signal is -90 to -100 which is pretty good for LTE. As I'm flying along enjoying my 3 minutes of LTE spark, my phone just decides that LTE sucks and it should switch to the 3g signal which gives me 0.12 mbps (f***ing sprint). Then no matter what I do, how many times I do ##72786#, how many times I restart my phone, or turn mobile data on/off it still wont get LTE back..until randomly a couple hours later. Is my note 4 retarded?? The reason I don't think it's a signal issue is that I often get > 30mbps when I am connected. This has to be some software issue where the note 4 thinks that the 0.12mbps 3g signal is somehow "Stronger" than a 35mbps LTE signal.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisnia99:
I agree, I'm in Chicago-land and when i get Spark I always get 1 bar and than it switches to 3g
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
By default the band priority is Band 25 - 1, Band 25 - 2, and Band 41 - 3. So the phone is already set up correctly as far as priority.

Also as has been stated LTE and Spark are not the same thing. They are two seperate bands. By default the phone tries to use Spark. If it can't it then switches to LTE and if it still has issues it switches to 3G..

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wachy:
I am the proud new owner of a Wizard (in the form of a Cingular 8125) :) .

I have been scouring these forums and the wiki and learning all sorts of useful stuff. I've compiled a list of "things to do" to my Wizard and was wondering what I'm missing.

Anything is appreciated.

Here are my goals: I want to optimize my 8125 for performance (speed, internet, stability, and usability) without sacrificing too much battery life. I have a G4 chipset, but don't want to flash any ROMs.

Here is my list so far:

1. Overclock the processor to 235 mhz (it seems like there are a few choices for how to do this, I'm not sure which is the best for me).

2. Open my wi-fi to allow 802.11g (is djvw's optimizer the best choice for this?)

3. Make my 8125 actually close programs when I click the "x," to save resources.

I appreciate any tips you give me :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hiimcliff:
magic button works well for closing programs. it also has a built in task bar that I cannot do without.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Vectre:
Advice...

1. Overclock the processor to 235 mhz (it seems like there are a few choices for how to do this, I'm not sure which is the best for me).

Most people seem to use OMAPClock to do this. Check out OMAPClock plus. I keep my wizard (TMobile MDA) at 240.

2. Open my wi-fi to allow 802.11g (is djvw's optimizer the best choice for this?)

This is done with a registry edit. There are several programs that will allow you to do the edit (resco explorer, total commander, ...). and at least one package that has most of the usual edits in one place. (registry wizard). Do your research before doing this since one wrong edit and you will have to hard reset.

3. Make my 8125 actually close programs when I click the "x," to save resources.

There are several programs that will do this for you. Research to find out which will do what you need. (HTC X, smartskey, magic button, pbar, GSPocketMagic)

HTC X - nice, integrates very well with WM5, maybe originally done by HTC

smartskey - most consider this an almost required install on your WM5 device, remaps your softkeys to make them more usefull and will help keep your phone overclocked.

magic button, gspocketmagic - both have a taskbar and will close apps for you.

pbar - newest one I have seen, program closer with taskbar, even has an area for favorites on taskbar.

Now for caps, DO YOUR RESEARCH, look up the features and problems with each program and especially before you even think about doing any registry edits. You will have to find which works the way you want and feels comfortable.

------------

Forgot to mention, all of the apps I mention are free downloads except Resco Explorer.

Hi there,

Unfortunately I have little understanding of the working and making of applications. A friend and I came up with an idea and participated with a ING and Google Jumpstart event in Amsterdam to expand the idea. Unfortunately there was no contact who could help us answering questions regarding the making of an application. Simply explanation of the idea: The FriendsZone app, an application for events like festivals where everybody loses their companions on the event once in a while. With this app you can find your friends and family on the event site.

At the moment I am very busy with my own study Leisure Management and I am unable to find someone in real person who can help me with this idea and maybe help me with further contacts.

I am hoping I will find the right person on XDA but any question or hint is welcome!

Thanks for your time!:D

A bit more explanation of the idea:

We have been going to events and festivals for many years. And once in a while everybody lost their friends, boyfriend, girlfriend or even a family member in the big crowd on the event site.

Why are we always trying to reach them by calling them even if we know you are not able to hear them because of the noise or the music? You are looking forward to the event for days, weeks and sometimes even for months and on the particularly event you are wasting your time with useless searches to find the person you lost earlier. How useful and nice would it be if you know where they are in just a couple of seconds!?

The FriendsZone application will resolve one of the biggest irritations on events. With this application you are able to find your friends on an exclusive map of the events by GPS and Wi-Fi. You can accept people and place them in your own group like "Friends" "Family" or other groups that you can rename. You are always able to block your GPS system so you are in control of your own privacy.

On the event map you can place a self made meeting point to meet with another person or a group and continue the party!
