Dammit! finally a question on this forum I actually had the answer to and several beat me to it! ;-)

Hopefully my musings will help someone or two setting this up anyway...

GMM seems to rely on the PPC "telling" it that it has a GPS, and where it is, instead of GMM "looking" for it, like most GPS software does.

The reg hack posted above will restore the GPS icon in Settings > Connections. Then you tell the utility what port your GPS is really on, and then setup what virtual port you want software to think it's on. (You can select "COM0-COM9" or "GD0-GD9- I assume the "GD" stands for GPS Device" and not what the hell is a G** D*** GD port?") Once you do this, Google Maps finds the GPS no problem.

I tried it GMM after "fixing" the GPS problem yesterday, and almost had my 8-year old son convinced the sat picture he was viewing was "live" until he noticed there was no snow in the on-screen "live camera" view of the Denver suburbs! ;-)

As a bonus, the GPS manager in WM allows you to use multiple GPS programs at once- (usually when a program connects to a COM port it gets exclusive access, but this virtual port is available to all programs.) It was a hoot switching between Mapopolis, GMM and MS Virtual Earth and comparing. (V Earth is slower downloading data over GPRS/EDGE compared to GMM, but I like having the street names superimposed over the aerial image.)

Weird heads-up in case you run into this- my usual GPS Nav software (Mapopolis) wouldn't see the GPS on the "fake" COM port unless I used one of the "GDx" ones. Any other "COMx" (other than the real one) wouldn't work. I suspect this is because Mapopolis probably checks the hardware directly for COMx ports rather than going through the OS, but is forced to go through WM for the virtual GDx ports that don't really exist in hardware, so sticking to a GDx port is probably best (it will also avoid accidentally selecting a virtual COM that conflicts with a real COM port like your IR port, etc.) I suspect the other major PPC Nav programs probably do the same as Mapopolis and go to the hardware directly since this virtual GPS port stuff is fairly new...

Hope I helped someone! ;-)

Today Samsung made a new update available of the Gear Manager with version 2.2.14110499
[Samsung Gear 2] LiamS:
Genuinely surprised by this, didn't think i'd see the day!

Lets just hope they list their updates, and what they have done. Because currently I don't see any update history on any apps etc (reason why I turned auto update off so I could know when an update needed running)! It's only been 2 months since their last one :l

So if it brings nothing new to the table i'll be slightly peeved.

<!--- edit --->

They didnt include updates, shocka! Now how do I know what the **** has been added.
[Samsung Gear 2] Uniquebarbee:

I did the update and when I want to manage my list of notifications it crashes. It happened before and I had to reset everything Gear related. I wish there was an easier fix to this annoying bug.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nic2112:
Hi,

I've had the same problem with my M7 and now my M8. I can do HTC backups no problem, but when the time comes to restore, it never works, it'll get to about 37% and stay there for hours until I reboot. Some stuff gets restored but not much.

I tried:

- Skipping the restore at first boot and restoring after - Same problem

- Skip the restore at first boot, kill all the apps, manual restore - Same problem

The sign-in to Google plus works, it does find the backup each time, it just stalls completely when I restore.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Titanium backup, if your rooted. Can't beat it. ?

Sorry for indirect solution... But I froze HTC backup on day one. ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerndM14:
Yeah I also tried HTC Backup once and froze it, didn't want to properly restore for me either. I rather make backups of the entire data partition and just number it appropriately. For example: Made backup on 1 October, Place it in a folder named "Data October" next backup at 1 November in a folder named "Data November" <With that backup in the folder I make a text document with info of all additional programs/changes I made since last backup, in other words, a mini change log. Will make it easier to restore to a point prior to a point where I had an "incident" (Even though I never had one *touch wood* ). I use Titanium rarely if ever, used to do it a lot but I prefer backing up the entire data partition, as big as it is.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Yup, a good way to go! ?

I just prefer Tb. I have control over each app that way. But I have a Data nandroid also... Just in case. ?

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HabueN:
Hi, i have some questions about the s off method and the sense to gpe conversion process.

When i pay the 25 $ for the s off, will i unlock my phone right away, or do i have to wait til the transaction is finished? After i obtain s-off, hod do i know if i have a GSM or a CDMA version of M8? Have searched but not found the answer to this.

And last, when i change the CID to GOOGL001, my phone will be a stock HTC M8 GPE? It stood that it was unknown if the MID must be changed as well.

This is maybe some stupid questions, but its better to ask than not in my experience.

Than you in advance :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nic2112:
- You get S-OFF right away

- You need more than just changing the CID, you need to do the conversion. The MID needs to be the one than ends in 12000 or 17000 I think.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HabueN:
Sweet, thanks for answer :)

Of course, the RUU installing is essential :P

I have a EU (Norway) version of the phone, is that a GSM version? Tried serarching for difference between GSM and CDMA, but couldnt find anything.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mpenfold1987:
STOP

DO NOT i repeat DO NOT pay for s-off its FREE!!!!!!!

"When i pay the 25 $ for the s off"
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
......on the latest firmwares firewater fails and you need sunshine. And sunshine costs 25$.

Firewater is still free to try but fails a lot lately for the majority of the users. Trying won't hurt but when it does you need to pay for sunshine.

So please stop telling people in capital text that s-off is free, because it's just not that simple.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HabueN:
Have tried firewater without any luck, to new version of hboot or something i thing. And since there is no other alternative, the 25$ must be paied. But what the hell, it`s not that much if you look at all the time those people have used making that for everybody else!

Personally i think they both look terrible, but i figured i'd share with those of you who haven't seen it yet. Honestly, i'm surprised that this wasn't posted yesterday when i first noticed them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jcarlm:
I want to like the clear case but I don't. It looks cheap and Google is asking 35.00.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] polke45:
Too expensive for such a decent case when there are much better case for better price
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rubi76:
These are just Case Mate cases sold on the Play Store... I bet they will be cheaper if bought directly from Case Mate when they come out...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] h0bnail:
I don't think I'd pay $5 for that plastic case. Just doesn't seem like it would have nice feel at all.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jmo742:
I don't think these cases will have high sales because of the Spigen cases, which are better in terms of quality. Also, they're all cheaper; Spigen's most expensive case for the Nexus 6 is $34.99 while the clear case on the Play Store is the same price. And for the flip case, Spigen has a similar one that's considerably cheaper: http://www.spigen.com/brands/google/nexus-6/nexus-6-case-wallet-s.html . Surely Google knew this beforehand because their sales will suffer. On 2nd thought... given that they jacked the prices up on their new flagship, I don't expect them to suffer at all as a matter of fact. Still, they may want to consider lowering the prices; no company wants their inventory to go to waste.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] bradputt:
I love thin cases, but 35 bucks for a piece of plastic is ridiculous
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sanjsrik:
I was wondering as well why these are so expensive when others are selling them for 1/6 the price? Wonder what Google is thinking.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] h0bnail:
They did the same thing with the N4 bumper, and I assume N5.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mk92595:
I remember using the poetic bumper on my N4 and they kept replacing it for free without sending the broken bumper in
[Nexus 6 Accessories] chrisjcks:
I'm avoiding cases.

I fear putting a case on & then off will indeed scratch that metal trim.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pablomoca:
These finally became available. Even though it's over priced I went ahead and ordered the clear one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] djpingpong:
Dropping it will scratch that trim though lol. I think I would like maybe a bumper or something that just wraps around the bezels to keep them from getting damaged would be cool.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pablomoca:
If anyone is still interested in these cases. I would try T-Mobile, I cancelled (at least attempted to) my Google Play order. You can get the case at T-Mobile and save some money on shipping.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pilz:
A tpu case won't scratch the phone inside of it unless you never take it out to wipe off any dust every now and then like you should.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] kylez64:
The naked tough case is available just ordered.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ekerbuddyeker:
The tough case is available at tmob?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] pablomoca:
I purchased what looks exactly like the tough case at T-Mobile for the same price as the Play store (minus the cost of shipping). The clear case with the kickstand. Honestly the kick stand feels super flimsy. It almost seems as if the weight of the phone alone is capable of breaking it. I'm not confident it's going to last that long.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] digthemlows:
I like the look better than the cases on Amazon, I went ahead and ordered the Clear one today...... we'll see........
[Nexus 6 Accessories] MrJesseJay:
Just got my clear bumper case from google play store. Better than expected. Feels nice strong and thin. I previously had the nexus 5 with the google bumper case which saved my phone many many times. Hopefully this works just as well. Feels good in my hands and am very very happy with my purchase. Ordered this two days ago and it arrived today with normal delivery. Fast shipping from google.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] twig49:
Got the clear Naked Case on Friday when I got the phone as it was the only thing they had available in store. Better than nothing I suppose, but I'm not at all impressed. It holds fingerprints worse than the screen. It's smooth and slick feeling for me and doesn't provide much confidence against dropping. Overpriced IMO, just as the ZaggGlass that didn't work would have been.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sn0warmy:
I bought the Naked Tough Case at T-Mobile to hold me over until my ringke slim case came. Don't waste your money on it. It's hideous, finger print magnet, and the button covers make pressing the buttons more difficult. I can't believe they charge $35 for this.

I just ordered a cruzerlite tpu case to use when I need more protection, like while snowboarding. When that arrives on Tuesday I will be returning this case to T-Mobile and getting my money back since they have a 30 day return policy.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] plaktoets:
Can anyone confirm if the nexus 6 has a smart on/off functionality? I have this lg smartcover for the play store on my Nexus 5 and I'm so used to not having to switch my phone off and on.. But from what I've seen so far Nexus 6 doesn't have this :(
[Nexus 6 Accessories] forgeek:
Please check the casebase nexus 6 wallet case. It looks Identical to the folio wallet case which is shown on the play store at 35usd

I brought mine from amazon at only $6.99 and read somewhere it is a special launch price offer and the case will go up to 19.99

its worth every penny and im happy with it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] digthemlows:
Just got mine today. I like it, the kickstand is thin and we'll have to see how it lasts, but the case is nice in the hand, not big, quality is great, it's classy and as long as it holds up it will be $35 well spent. Not seeing the "fingerprint magnet" that was posted above.....again, it's only been on for an hour. I have NOTHING else to compare it to on my Nexus 6, so take my opinion with a grain of salt! ....
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidballer:
How do you like the naked tough case? I am waiting for it. Does it protect well, and also make the phone less slippery and easier to hold?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] digthemlows:
So far I like it......it feels a little slippery and yet it doesn't slip......It looks great, protects well and doesn't feel to bulky. Again, I have nothing else to compare too with the Nexus 6 so I don't know if something is better, but I'm happy with my purchase and have zero interest in trying anything else. For whatever that's worth :) ...
[Nexus 6 Accessories] androidballer:
Great. Did you spring for a screen protector with that case?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FoneWatcher:
I got the clear Naked Tough case, open box, on eBay for $15 - plenty of them for sale. I was surprised that the bumper goes inside the case, but I am loving it. The fit is perfect and doesn't add much bulk, yet I am confident it could save it from a moderate drop.

Very tight manufacturing, too, with Al accents and textured power button like the one on the unit - this is definitley not like a clear $8.95 generic case for the N6.

The kickstand easily supports the phone and had Al hinge. I wouldn't rest my elbows on it, but it does a nice viewing angle for desk or nightstand.

Of course, the clear shows off to everyone the glorious, massive N6 in its natural beauty, but it does, as earlier stated, attract a lot of finger smudges. But that's its job, so I', okay with it.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] RaptorMD:
If anyone is still looking at this case its available on Amazon.com (US) for $15.65 so I picked one up to try. If I don't like it, back to Amazon it goes, most I lose is a few dollars in shipping.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slm4996:
I got one of the clear tough cases from amazon, I like it. It's slim, fits great. I personally do not like the hump caused by the kickstand they added, I could do without that. It was a bit tricky to get assembled as it wanted to snag when pressing it together, but works great with my glass screen protector.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FoneWatcher:
Don't those glass screen protectors fuse permanently to the display?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] slm4996:
No, at least not in my experience. I've had 3 on 2 phones, excluding this one, and have removed at least two of them with no issues. One of them I even removed without breaking the protector.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FoneWatcher:
Interesting. From what I've read at some sources, they are permanent, which contradicts my goal of preserving the display in pristine cond.

Also, I had the same issue with installing the Naked Tough clear - tricky, but worth it once it's on.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thacounty:
I think you are mixed up. The glass protectors adhere with a clear adhesive and do not become permanent. They come off pretty easily. I think maybe you heard that the glass and digitizer are fused together.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FoneWatcher:
I'm aware of the difference between screen protectors and displays/digitizers, but thanks anyway ;)

Here's a guy talking about some types being semi-permanent. Seems whack to do that to my N6. I'll stick with regular film ones.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] thacounty:
That guy is wrong. There is no permanent screen protector that I know of except the kind you paint on. I've installed every type protector including 100s of wet installs while working at best buy. You don't need any luck to get them off. They're also not water activated. The ones he's talking about aren't even tgsp, tgsps don't use water for the application.

Whatever you choose is obviously fine, but I'm on my second tgsp and it would come off with minimal prying right now if I wanted it to.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] FoneWatcher:
Interesting, thanks. I'm also basing it on other data (I just remembered what put that idea in my head - a phone I was considering buying on ebay and it had a tgsp - and I asked the seller how it came off, and he said he wasn't sure if it ever came off), but there seems to be a dearth of specific info on the descriptions I've seen of these apparatuses as to their removability. That is a deal-breaker for me.

But again, thanks for your info.

Also, as an aside, these are the best privacy guards I've ever used - no bubbles, durable, I like the way it looks and feels. [disclosure - no connection excpept as satisfied customer]

This might help other people..

Basically, I've been banging my head trying to get Windows Vista X64, WMDC 6 (Final - X64), and my TYTN working...

Everytime I plugged in my TYTN, it was being detected as a "Remote NDIS" device and all hell was breaking loose. Basically, those drivers are EVIL -for one, WMDC still wont' be able to see your device. The second being that if you try to do a "Scan for Hardware Changes" in the Device Manager (after plugging in the TYTN), the window "Scanning for Plug and Play Devices" will never go away, and shutting down the machine won't work (the shutdown process looks like it's waiting for something).. Moreover, if you try to use the "remove hardware safely app" - same thing will happen.

After searching around on the net, I read that if one does the following on their Windows Mobile

Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC

then UNCHECK enable advanced networking function, then Soft Rest.

Your device will start working with WMDC (it get's detected a Serial / TYTN instead of that Remote NDIS device), and no more issues.

Read it somewhere on the net but it seems this issue also happens on other devices.

I have a S4 and the charging port went bad. I though my warranty was up so I bought the charging port online and replaced it myself and was working again. Now my mic doesn't work and I said screw it, im going to just go buy another phone, but while at Verizon I found out that I have 3 weeks before my warranty was up and they are sending me a replacement for free.

My question is that the phone is free as long as there is no water damage or other damage to the phone, Will Verizon know I changed and charging port and charge me for the replacement?

Seems that I can find every other parameter I can change except Inbox sync frequency.

Does anybody have Exchange Email configured in your phone? Could you check if you have that option?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worwig:
Settings -> Accounts -> Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync -> Settings

There select the account you are interested in, then go to sync settings, then sync schedule.

Set the schedule you want, and don't forget to set or turn off PEAK schedule.

On a related note, I have found the using PUSH not only consumes a HUGE amount of data, but it keeps the processor alive and kills the battery.

My Galaxy S4 had the same settings, and push would only wake up the phone when there was a change that needed to sync.

That plus my exchange contacts are not getting synced properly. I used to only sync with my exchange contacts. Now I have to rely on gmail contacts.

There is some kind of glitch there on the Note 4 for sure.
