[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belalahmad28:
Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply :)

I just tried this and downloaded the OTA update for the latest version of sense and android but when I installed it my phone just restarted and nothing was updated.

Am I flashing the ROM right? I'm a bit rusty on how to do it, I have clockwork mod I believe so could you please give me a step by step on how to do it?

Again, thanks for the help :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Download and install TWRP 2.6.3.3

In bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Boot into Recovery

Select Install from sdcard

Select Guru Reset M7 2.24.401.8

Follow Danny201281's instructions after the Reset flashes:

In the Aroma installer options choose

* * Stock recovery = Yes

* * Stock radio = Yes

* * Root = No

Now you should have stock recovery & stock rom on your phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
You can't jump strait to the latest update you need to install all the updates sequentially.

To flash the reset Rom put the zip on your internal storage. Boot to clockwork mod and do a Factory reset. Then choose Install zip from sd card. Choose the guru rest Rom. When the install starts you'll be taken into the Aroma installer choose the options as outlined in my previous post.

When the Rom is installed reboot the phone. Go to Settings>About and select "Check for Updates" you should get a notification for a "System Update" Allow the update to download and you will be prompted to install it. Select Install now. The phone will reboot to Stock recovery and install the OTA. When it's done reboot and check for the next OTA update

OnePlus one any day, provided you are patient enough to wait for an invite. Seeing as loads of people will have invites after their preorders from the other day, you ought not to have any problems.

Although the Meizu MX4 is a very respectable phone, the OPO has greater support here and qualifies for everything you have suggested. Moreover its cheap as chips!
[General Questions and Answers] ozal5:
The Meizu isn't powerfull like the One?

I heared that the battery is better and also the camera but i don't know about the Procssor's (Snapdragon vs MediaTek).
[General Questions and Answers] htw1:

[General Questions and Answers] crunchor:
No human would want a yellow monitor phone, base on what I saw on forum, yellow monitor happen for at least 90% of all OPO phones. So take your own risk if you guys buy OPO.
[General Questions and Answers] Itay2108:
Ok man to make something very clear-

If someone has a yellow monitor he will ask about it in the forum, right?

So if like 2% of the first batch OPOs have yellow screens, and 95% ask if it's ok at xda, it doesn't mean 95% have yellow monitors.

BTW the problem sorts out after two weeks of using the phone.

Here is a good tip for cheap factory unlocked NEW Galaxy Alphas:

At $ 549. From Canada GSM .

The question like Giant Neutron Stars vs. Black Holes and questions about whether Dark Matter really exists is :

Samsung's complicated inclusion/exclusion of different Radio Bands on dozens

of Models.

GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

4G & LTE

LTE 2100, 1900, 1800, 1700, 2600, 700, 850

Above are the Radio Bands for the Specific Model at Canada GSM.

How does this look for full coverage TMobile USA ?

Here is a Link to Canada GSM Alpha page:

http://canadagsm.ca/products-Samsung-Galaxy-Alpha-SM-G850W8-Metal-Unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Alpha] stevebui85:
Anymore info on this on whether it'll work on T-Mobile's 1700/2100 bands? I'm thinking about getting one to see if it works. Hope it's not a typo in their specifications that's listed.

***UPDATE***: DO NOT buy from CanadaGSM.ca website. They are fraudulent. I received a blank confirmation page upon order completion and the chat line said I needed to give them my CC's 3 digit security code even after they've charged my bank account. They also said my product will not be shipped. The number listed on their website is fake as well. Google... beware CanadaGSM.
[General Topics] Googlr:
Seeing that a lot of ROM development is done using Ubuntu is cool, as I have been an Ubuntu user for the last year. This is my first guide on XDA, I plan on posting a few in the future. Sort of a Beginners Ubuntu collection of guides that cover simple, yet useful subjects that new users to the Ubuntu OS might find useful.

This particular guide covers finding out the version of your Ubuntu kernel.

Finding out the version of your Ubuntu kernel can be useful in a few ways. Every now and then there are vulnerabilities that affect specific kernel versions, and being able to check and see whether or not your kernel version can be affected can be helpful. Also, certain features and hardware support will only work with specific kernel versions.

Finding out what Ubuntu kernel version you have is very simple, to find it just follow these steps -

Open a Terminal window (Go to your Dashboards > Search for “Terminal” > Hit Enter)

Type in this commmand in the Terminal -

uname -r

And that's it! The uname command can give you information about the kernel you are currently running, including version, system hostname and more.

When I get home later I will add a few pictures, I'm posting this from my phone right now.

Even though its not much, let me know what you guys think.

Hopefully someone finds this helpful or useful.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AhkuDroid:
Some are saying they cannot use data while on a voice call, yet some claim they can. The official VZW response is supposedly that it won't happen until the Advanced Calling 1.0 update "by the end of the year".

Would those of you with one in hand please confirm if this is different depending on which network type you are on. i.e. 3G, 4G LTE, or 4G XLTE?

I was ready to pick one up until I saw this since this is a very important ability for me. It's like it is 2008 all over. I'm pretty shocked they would release a device "temporarily" with less ability than the previous generation.

Thanks
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] synplex:
No you can not :(

We'll have to wait just like the Moto X.

The Sony Z3v also can not do Simultaneous Voice+Data .

I wonder if the Nexus 6 will also have this issue?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
Is this just 3G and data? I'm not understanding why u can't use 4G and talk at the same time.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AhkuDroid:
From what I've read, the Moto X (2014) and the Droid Turbo share the antenna for the 3G and 4G radios opposed to previous generations to cut production costs. Older phones would use 3G to talk and 4G was used for data I believe. If you set an older 4G phone to LTE only, you couldn't make a phone call, but could surf the net. Until they update the software that administers VoLTE to handle data at the same time, we are stuck back in 2010.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
You can't talk and use data at the same time, unless you are in a VoLTE market.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Schaweet:
Ugh. My OG Moto X can do this. Think I'll just wait to get this until the VoLTE update.

Sent from my Dev Edition Moto X
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tfly212:
Wow...that is terrible. How do you launch a phone in Oct 2014 without a key function from 3 years ago???
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinginavacuum:
So this mean I won't be able to use my navigation (Google maps / Waze) while talking on the phone?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joderme:
Actually you can use voice and data at the same time... When using an AT&T sim card :)

It is only on 3G but will do voice and data. Until VoLTE for VZW this just won't happen.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] xdadevnube:
Just to confirm. Few phones can do EVDO and 1XRTT Voice simultaneously (Rezound, Thunderbolt, S3(I think)), but every Verizon 4G phone to date that I am aware of can use LTE and 1XRTT simultaneously. It would be ridiculous to drop LTE when making a phone call!

Please tell me this thing can use LTE on a phone call.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] dano1282:
No. There is no simultaneous voice+data. Unless you're connected to an active WiFi.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
Nope. When on LTE, I made a phone call and the data went to grayed out 1x.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] ap3604:
Isn't it where both phones need to be Verizon VOLTE enabled and both parties need to be in Verizon VOLTE markets?

So lets say when the Droid Turbo gets VOLTE... can I talk & surf at the same time while calling my sister who is on AT&T? Or am I screwed unless she gets on Verizon and her area allows VOLTE? :(
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] s_u_n:
I find this hard to believe.

Does this impact users outside US (and hence not on VZ network)?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rajuabju:
I'm going to shoot myself. I cant believe I didnt check on this before ordering. Every phone I've had in the last few years starting with my old Thunderbolt could do simultanious voice/data using the different bands. I thought the issue was basically limited iphones.

They better enable the VoLTE and fast. I cant go too long without it. May have to return the phone and re-order once its been enabled. Its too important a feature for my daily business needs.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
Yeah this is a key feature where I'm like WTF. Im gonna hold off for a bit and see what happens and pray the Nexus 6 won't be like this since its a phone that is designed to run on all carriers.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
If the Moto X and DROID Turbo are like this, I bet the Nexus 6 will be as well, they are all very similar.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
Well i was thinking that to but being that the nexus is a one device for all carriers unlike moto x and turbo i wondered if that antenna would be made the same.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] steve0617:
Stolen from the comments on a long Droid Life thread about this exact thing:

Moto X 2nd Gen does not do voice/data. Z3v does not. Droid Turbo does not.

These can do LTE data and voice: DNA, Moto X (2013), S4, G2, One M8, S5, G3, Note 4. (and most other phones pre August 2014.)

Nexus 6: Don't know yet but not looking great.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jrcbandit:
Once VoLTE is enabled, how does it work? Will I be able to get voice and data with anyone as long as I am on LTE? Will it be limited to only other Verizon customers who also have VoLTE enabled? if it is the later, I need to convince a manger to let me return this phone, ie, it was a mistake to switch from the Note 4 if true.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] steve0617:
Once VoLTE is enabled, it'll work the same way the older phones do now. As long as you're on LTE, you'll get phone calls and data concurrently. I do not believe (if I understand what I've read) that the other person you're calling must also have VoLTE. available and activated. One doesn't require the other.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] redddog:
This is amazing.

Wonder why no one has mentioned this in any of the reviews. It's so 2008.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tfly212:
Totally agree! I need voice and data way more than waterproofing, but that gets mentioned all over.

Guess my note 2 is staying in the game a bit longer.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cpufrost:
Definitely the case here.

On a voice call got the dreaded message telling me data isn't available!

Haven't seen that in ages!

So right now I have a top of the line phone that 1) cannot function as a mobile hotspot which is part of my plan, and 2) I cannot take calls if I'm using email or need to look up something, maps, etc.

That is simply unacceptable for a top end device!

If number 2 was an issue with the iphone these sites would be all over that like flies on horsecrap!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mobilehavoc:
I'm coming from AT&T so this is new to me but I don't use voice+data that often. My main concern would be if I'm navigating and I get a phone call.

Didn't VZW and Moto say it's coming later this year though?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] cpufrost:
Yes once VoLTE is supported you will have the ability to have simultaneous data and voice. Should be by year's end! ugh!

TBH, I have an ATT account with a 100GB/mo limit and I can use that Sim (tested, working) in the phone when I need it. No LTE support but HSPA+ is plenty fast and better than nothing.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] jughead75:
So far I'm not sold on Volte. I have Volte capability on my Maxx. I found that I would drop calls in certain areas or buildings. I disabled it (advanced calling) and have not had a problem since. I don't know why, the 60 square mile area I live and work always has 4g.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
Here's Droid life's post on it. http://www.droid-life.com/2014/10/30/fyi-droid-turbo-cant-currently-do-simultaneous-voice-and-data/
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] bturkel:
What I was told that the new advanced calling it will only work if both users have advanced calling. They told me the newer devices will not support the 2 way like the older droid phones. I need a need a new phone dropped my maxx like 20 times - it works but all beat up and now this. I have the 64gb version and I have to leave town tomorrow - I may return it when I get home
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
Yeah I was hoping for a miracle but droid life just shut that down. They have comfirmed the Nexus 6 works on Verizon and when he goes to make a phone call u can see the LTE dissapear then re appear after he hangs up. This is so BS. Whoever came up with this idea needs a bullet n their head.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-cD_Avne2k&feature=youtube_gdata_player

On a good note for people like me deciding between the Turbo and Nexus, looks like the Nexus can be bought from the play store and be put on Verizon, so no bloat and fast updates through Google, not Verizon.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] rajuabju:
I've been using the phone all day today.

I'm borderline ready to return it until the simultanious voice/data is enabled. Its even more critical in my daily busineness needs than I had thought.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlach:
They had separate radios for LTE and CDMA.

Now the radio is combined. This saves a bunch of power (remember the older phones used to drain battery quickly when on LTE?) but it has the drawback that traditional voice will not work at the same time as data UNTIL Advanced Calling patch is released.

Temporary workaround, call using google voice? :p
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
You should return it within the 14 day window, it's a hardware issue.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinginavacuum:
So what's the likelihood of this being resolved relatively soon?

Did verizon mention a timeframe?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AhkuDroid:
Until they update the VoLTE software for the phone, correct. However, you also have to have VoLTE enabled in your market as well. In Pittsburgh this is not the case yet. I am highly disappointed in VZW right now. I don't blame Moto though.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AhkuDroid:
VoLTE runs on 4G, of course, but anything before that runs on 3G. I believe Verizon's CDMA bands (i.e. 3G and older) have longer wavelengths that can penetrate buildings better. The shorter LTE wavelengths bounce of materials more opposed to penetrating them. This may change as they transition the older wavelength to use 4G.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Restola:
Yeah I've read people complaining about that. Even once it's available I'll keep advanced calling off unless specifically needed. I don't need to be dropping calls every time I drive somewhere or walk into a building.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AhkuDroid:
The official typical noncommittal response is "by the end of the year". We should spam Verizon on all social outlets until this becomes their first priority and is resolved. Taking a technological back step is absolutely unacceptable.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
Are you talking about VoLTE or fixing the no voice and data at the same time? As far as I know, the issue is because there aren't two modems, one for CDMA and one for LTE, so there will never be a time other than VoLTE when you can use voice and data at the same time.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AhkuDroid:
I am referring too the VoLTE software fix, which is the "by the end of the year" update for the Turbo to have Advanced Calling 1.0. However, it still will only work if you are in a market with VoLTE activated, not just any 4G area. My area, as of this time, is not turned on for it.

Honestly, I may just buy last year's MAXX off Craigslist at this point. So many poor choices have been made in regards to this launch. I need navigation and the ability to check facts when on a call. Not having it isn't an option.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] livinginavacuum:
Yeah, I'm in the same boat in regards to having it as a mandatory requirement. I'm unfortunately going to have to go back to my GS3 (my Note 4 is just too big although it is a stellar phone).

I'll either wait for this issue to be completely resolved (along with the poor wifi signal others have mentioned) or wait for a better phone in Q1 of 2015...

So when VoLTE comes out - if you're going from a VoLTE area to a 4G or 3G area the phone will revert back to not being able to use voice and data simultaneously? That sounds absolutely ridiculous and nonsensical. Or am I just not fully comprehending this transition Verizon is going through to VoLTE?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] xdadevnube:
I really fail to see how vzw will get enough coverage with LTE to actually have full VoLTE rollout. There will be rural customers who can't get 4G. 4G is pushing the limits of what can be packed into a given amount of spectrum.

VZW would have to get way more towers to fully replace CDMA because CDMA will generally out-range LTE.

Maybe they do plan on a more aggressive rollout.

Also, I need to read more about it, but it should be possible to adjust multiplexing variables to make LTE optimized for better range with slower speeds. I'll have to check and see if the specification for LTE advanced has any requirements of that sort.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jhall8:
I think you'll be happy with the Droid Maxx if you decide to go that route. My Maxx is running very well after the recent update enabling Advanced Calling 1.0. I'm very happy with the Maxx. The Droid Turbo is on my list for a future upgrade. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to Android 5.0 in the coming months (and next week for my Nexus 7.)

Oh, and remember that the Maxx had 32GB at release, but more recently manufactured units have 16GB. The newer ones have chrome accents around the camera and on the circle with the M.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] NegativeOne:
The same people complaining about this being a step back also complained about why we didn't have voip (volte does this). And they also complained about battery. Sounds like there is a lack of understanding of technology
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] piccit:
Is that a joke? iPhones have never had simultaneous voice and data on Vzw
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] distortedloop:
That's a good suggestion for those of us on unlimited data plans, but for those on lower GB plans, would the days usage true voip calling eat through their allowance too quickly?

I'll have to make some voice calls via Hangouts Dialer and check the data usage.

Edit... Just did a thirty minute test call using hangouts over LTE. It used about 10mb data. Shouldn't be a big issue unless you're on a very low data plan. And if course I could surf the web simultaneously.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mastermindjb:
Pittsburgh is definitely a VoLTE market as I had it on my G2. I saw that mentioned earlier in the thread.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlach:
Yeah, I know some of you go crazy on the data, but I only have a 3GB data plan for two lines, my Droid Turbo and a 2013 Nexus 7. (I used to have 2GB, but in my previous upgrade there was a promotion, so 2 became 3 for the same price)

I usually hit about 1.2GB of use in a month, and that is while being on facebook, browsing the web, doing email, navigating with Waze and streaming spotify in the car.

Used to consider myself a bit of a power user, but I guess I'm not after all.

How do you guys rack up so much data usage? Constant tethering? Video streaming?

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 PM ----------

No iPhone hasn't been a "top end device" since early 2010 or so (and even that is debatable) :p

The iPhone 6 is the first generation of iPhone with "Advanced Calling". All previous iPhones have - on CDMA carriers - not allowed voice and data at the same time.

Not an issue on GSM carriers though.

Either way, it's a little annoying, but as I see it it's only a temporary inconvenience if Verizon and Motorola deliver on the "Advanced Calling" update as promised.

I will quickly go from being patient to incensed if they don't and are delayed though.

It's simply a more efficient design than having separate radios for LTE and CDMA, and the correct engineering thing to do both from battery consumption, design complexity and cost perspectives. It's just unfortunate that "Advanced Calling" wasn't ready by launch.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] distortedloop:
I use 2gb JUST for streaming Google Play radio stations at work. Another couple of gigs with high resolution youtube. Picture and video uploads, etc. Adds up fast.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] INCREMENTAL:
So this worked? I'm lost cause I thought Google voice still used the CDMA radios to call just like a regular call???
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlach:
No, as I understand Google Voice is all VOIP, whether you use it from your desktop/laptop or phone.

Back when cell plans had minutes, I used to use it from my house over WIFI to save minutes.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] geoff5093:
Google Voice uses the cellular radio for voice, not VoIP. Hangouts is VoIP.

Google Voice never had the option to use VoIP, if you wanted to make calls without using minutes or only with a WiFi signal, you had to use an app like GrooveIP.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] mattlach:
Interesting.

Just tested and you are right.

I guess I always assumed it did, because it uses VOIP from within desktop Gmail, and it shows up as from a different number (the number I ported to google voice) when I call using it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] xdadevnube:
Unfortunately, GrooveIP and Spare phone (g-chat workaround apps) no longer work. Hangouts is the only way I know of now. Maybe Google will allow 3rd party apps, but I'm bit holding my breath.
