[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbdudek:
Whats excruciating to me is the fact that on my Galaxy Note 4, I could be on a call and surf at the same time on the 4g network. On my Verizon Galaxy Note Edge, I cannot. Thats nuts!

I may have to turn on advanced calling if I want this feature.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oilfighter:
I call using Google Hangout dialer. Voice and data works fine like that.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsweetness:
It's due to the antenna setup.

In order for voice and data to function simultaneously on Verizon without VoLTE, there has to be two separate antennas - one for CDMA and one for LTE. Some of Verizon's recent devices (such as the Note Edge and Droid Turbo) only have one shared antenna, meaning that only CDMA or LTE can run, not both. It's certainly frustrating for many users, and while Verizon's reasoning for this makes some sense, it's still not great at this time for those who use the feature. With the network moving toward LTE-only with VoLTE, Verizon's reasoning is in part based on this - why include additional hardware at additional cost and space (a second antenna) to run voice and data simultaneously when the same feature can be achieved with one antenna and VoLTE? Of course, VoLTE isn't completely ready for prime time, and they're still working out issues, so for many it's not a true replacement at this point. But that's a big reason why some of Verizon's recent phones can't do simultaneous voice and data without VoLTE - Verizon is trying to pave the way for VoLTE adoption.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenix85013:
Which NEW phones support Voice and Data (WITHOUT) using VoLTE... I have a 2013 Moto X that supports this, and refuse to upgrade until I can find a new device that does support this -- where can I find this data? I would imagine some phone (like a Nexus 5X) might support this since it's not made specifically for Verizon? And before it gets asked, VoLTE is too unreliable for my needs --- when using it on my work iPhone 6S calls drop constantly, so I've had to disable it... but still need voice AND data at once. Any resources / sites listing which devices support this feature would be really helpful.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
I believe the last phone on Verizon to support it might've been the S5 (feels like I'm forgetting one). None of the newer Android phones have the proper dual antenna setup to handle it without VoLTE. And the iPhones never have and never will have the proper dual antenna setup. We left Verizon for this reason alone as I had similar problems to you... and LTE is strong in my area. VoLTE takes the reliability that made Verizon the top carrier and throws it down the toilet (not to be too dramatic).

GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile have a fallback so you won't actually drop the call when using VoLTE if you lose LTE. Though their VoLTE rollout isn't near as expansive as Verizon's. The only benefit I can see to VoLTE is the HD calling, but that's definitely a luxury more than a necessity anyway, and not worth the reliability trade-off on Verizon.

Also, the 5X (and 6P for that matter) will have the exact same problem on Verizon.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenix85013:
Thanks, that's pretty much what I thought, just figured there had to be at least one newer device than the S5 that supported this... I think the term we're looking for is SVLTE... I can't find any site (like PhoneScoop) that has this attribute listed.

Yes, leaving Verizon is an option, but not really -- I travel to areas where only Verizon has coverage, on a daily basis.. It's only 3G, but better than nothing at all with AT&T / Sprint / T-Mobile... It's sad we take one step forward, and two steps back. Verizon is too arrogant to think their LTE coverage is as good as their 3G coverage, it just isn't yet, and I've not seen any improvements in over a year in my market (Phoenix area) sadly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jntdroid:
We switched to Cricket which mimics 99% of AT&T's coverage - for us that's been just fine as AT&T's HSPA+ is extremely widespread. But I definitely understand if you have unique areas you have to travel to. Verizon's 3G is rock solid and literally everywhere. Prior to LTE we never had voice/data at the same time on Verizon, so maybe everybody should just disable VoLTE and stick with that mentality while still having their rock solid reliability... Like you said, one step forward, two steps back...and it definitely seems like an arrogance thing on Verizon's part!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigRedUmpire:
Support CDMA

Unfortunately I've yet to find a compiled list of last generation, so to speak, of phones that use CDMA and 4G LTE technology. You can however, type a manufacturer and model into google, or sometimes view on the shop phone page for your carrier, and look at the line in the specs for the phone that says network technologies. It'll tell you if the phone supports CDMA, LTE, GSM, EVDO, HSPA etc.

I know the S5 is the last of the Galaxy S series, The Galaxy Note 4, is the last. I believe the iPhone 5 is the last

The LG V10, and G4 still have CDMA antenna in them.

No-Go's are

Motorola Droid Turbo, as is the Droid Maxx 2

iPhone 6

Galaxy S 6 and Note 5

That covers what one might consider Verizon's top choices

So far LG is the only one Verizon carries that has not gone 4G LTE only.

Verizon will tell you the change is driven by the manufacturer due to cost and space, but since non GSM phones are essentially custom made for Verizon and Sprint, that seems not likely.

My question is how do they plan on handling the fact that not everyone has access to 4G LTE? Currently we're trying to determine if we're going to be forced to AT&T because we can't run our business. If I can't take a customers payment while on the phone with them, that's a problem and more often then not I do not have 4G LTE service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] machv5:
My girlfriend dropped her Nexus 3 GT-i9250M and the LCD drifted into black. The digitizer still works tough as I have gotten haptic feedback (vibration feedback) from randomly tapping away at the screen after booting and hearing the start up chimes. But I have been unable to put the phone succesfully into the bootloader and then recovery to factory reset the device.

The reason I want to do this is so that I can strip it for parts sell them on eBay and then use the money to buy another Nexus 3 for her. As the LCD & digitizer assembly costs only about $30 less than a full working used nexus, Yet all the parts sold individually including the LCD if bought separately cost about $300. If I part out the working parts like mobo mic speakers etc... the return would either greatly reduce or pay entirely for the working model based on current prices.

The other frustrating aspect is that USB debugging is disabled and so I can not use ADB to do the work for me.

So what I need is a kind user with the same device go through the steps (bar the reset I'll leave the phone alone for 10mins to ensure completion) noting the times and button presses through all the menus so that I can do this. Rather than leave it up to the new owner to search through or recover via a rooted app the boob shots of my girlfriend etc...

In closing, why it only costs $30 more for an entire phone is a sad state of affairs to say the least and blacklisted Canadian devices can be had for $20-$60 when they can be found. The fact that smartphones with screens made of so called gorilla glass or similar (aka chipmunk glass to me) rarely stand up to falls of more than 2ft and in the case of my S3 less than 2ft onto concrete. This coupled with the extortionate cost for replacements is one of the worst aspects of having a smartphone without encasing the sleek device in bulky non-pocket friendly and paper money puller armor, which also doesn't guarantee saving the screen from shattering as with one of my old EVO 3Ds

Guys this question have been haunting me for long

so i had to make a thread about it.

I rooted my spice dream uno. My questions are.

What if i have rooted my phone and inatalled CWM.

Will i be able to update my phone via OTA?

If not then what is the method? (without ota)

Thanks for any feedbacks in advance.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] DC07:
You will need stock recovery to flash the OTA :)
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] littleromeo:
Though this is a usual case, sometimes the ota overwrites cwm.

If you can get hold of the OTA zip file you can flash it from cwm without losing custom recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babaTrain:
I've scanned a lot of posts and tried many things but can't get tethering to work on my Verizon phone with jellybean 4.2.2.

Here is my latest attempt. I rooted phone with saferoot. didn't touch the recovery system i.e. its stock. Installed wifi tether trevi mod.

In wifi tether settings:

- Device Profile > Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)

- Setup Method > Netd-Mcd (master)

- checked 'Send Netd Max Client Cmd'

- checked 'WiFi-driver reload 2'

- checked 'MSS clamping'.

- checked 'Routing fix'.

When I try to activate tethering I get "Tethering started with errors! please check show log.".

When i click show log i get message "Unable to open log file. File does not exist"

Is this an old solution which no longer works? If this won't work for my phone can someone suggest other ways of getting tethering to work?

Thanks for any help.

[Sony Smartwatch] lisabrite:
After a Google Play store update, I am not able to access the SmartWatch 2 app through Smart Connect. I suspect one of the updates is causing the problem, but I'm not sure which one. I keep receiving the error message "Different certificates of Host App and Smart Connect. Host App cannot start. " Trying to launch the SmartWatch 2 app from Smart Connect crashes Smart Connect. I'm running stock Android 4.4.2 on my LG G2. Is there a way to download matching apks so that Smart Connect can access the SW2 app? Which versions of each are compatible?

Any suggestions would be helpful. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling both apps, and unpairing / pairing device and SW2. Nothing seems to fix the error.

[Xperia Z2 General] Hossam.Abdelsalam:
Hello Folks,

to make it short, i had a problem updating to 4.4.4 (23.0.1.A.0.167), after lots of googling and digging i decrypted the files i downloaded using PCC Companion and what i got was really shocking.

the old version rom (.314) was the one included in the downloaded files, I LOVE YOU SONY, you didn't even bother to check the files you are sending to us.

Seems that the same problem happens in several regions, as lots of talk i found when googling the problem.

And that explains everything, the PC Companion downloads whats on the server as the new 23.0.1.A.0.167, while actually its the old .314, then when the mobile shuts down to the flash mode the error happens

Also here at the GENERAL forum the ROM posted twice, and they reply "its the old one", unbelievable ...

please check the attachment
[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:

as for i, i have had 3 Defective Devices from sony and they Were all Z2 replacements, any other xperia i have ever used or owned has been fine, as for the firmwares for each currently supported device they are in my eyes getting better, security is getting better and other Devices which recieved 4.4.4 were rocket fast, the NeW UI is first to come to z2 aside Z3

as said previously Ranting here will not change anything, i doubt it would detour other people from buying from sony all too much.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrievingJosh:
Hello people, first off lemme say I'm not necessarily new to this forum, I for sure have used it a hell of a lot in the past and I know roughly what goes on around here, I've recently created my account in order for me to actually be able to be able to plead for the amazing help the XDA is known for.

Anyway, long story short, I don't know what the hell happened, but allow me to start from the beginning. I went on a camping weekend with my OPO, phone worked flawlessly all weekend and lasted the whole time, everything was fab, went back to a mates house and asked if I could borrow his phone charger (He has a Lumia 625 incase anyone was wondering), we then went out shooting and I left the phone there for a few hours to charge. Came back to it and it was fully charged, but had turned itself off? Because it was on the power off charge screen when I came back to it, and was on lock when I left it, nobody touched it in that time. I took it off charge, powered the phone up and it must of boot looped about 3 times? Eventually it got into CM but there was no lockscreen, went straight to the homescreen. This is where it went nasty, the capacitive keys outright weren't responding, the device wasn't slow as such, nor was the CPU running hot or doing anything intensive (I have CPU load display enabled), but the date was set to Jan 1970, and the phone couldn't pull a signal at all. WiFi outright wouldn't switch on either. So I tried rebooting it a few times, to no prevail. For some reason, I accidentally tapped Bluetooth in the quick settings panel, the phone crashed and rebooted, and wouldn't stay on for more then 3 seconds? Before crashing and rebooting. I've since gone into recovery and tried a factory reset, cleared cache and media too, but to no luck. Phone still doesn't stay on for more than about 3 seconds once it actually gets into CM (The welcome to CM screen, it crashes 3 sec immediately after boot).

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do, can anyone try shed some light on this? Much help would be appreciated and I sincerely APOLOGISE for the wall of text. Many thanks. :)

You say you're G4 is CID-unlocked. You can flash every rom from aku2 and above on it now that doesn't contain IPL/SPL. Never flash a rom that contains IPL/SPL. So, if you want to flash the "original" rom back you'll have to remove the IPL/SPL part manual.
