Hi Moderators,

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodroweBones:
Hey guys, ran into an odd issue... on my tablet I have myself setup and then added my Wife as another user. The issue is that my Wife's account seems to be "limited" as she is unable to change some settings (such as "Unknown Sources"). How can I either enable her account to change those settings or have that app show up for her as it does on my account?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodroweBones:
Nobody else? Pretty simple to try. You just need an apk file (i.e. download an official google one from apkmirror.com) and a second user setup on your tab. The first user can go into Settings -> Security and turn on the "Unknown Sources" option. The second user when going to that setting sees it as greyed out and cant do anything with it (and hence cant install the APK)
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
It doesn't surprise me at all that there would be limitations for secondary users. It seems prudent for security issues
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodroweBones:
When I say "Secondary" I simply mean a user I setup after my initial account. It seems ridiculous that adding another user means that user does not have full access to the tablet (thats what restricted profiles are for). If the solution is to buy another tablet Google is just as bad as Apple
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aindow:
Is there any way to make my apps available for a second user? For example, I would like to set it up so my daughter can use Netflix without worrying about her going in to other things. She's only four.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WoodroweBones:
Yes. When you add a user choose "Restricted Profile". I'm not sure on the specifics of setting it up but thats what you are looking for
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aindow:
Thanks, that worked a treat for me.

[Moto X Q&A] deboyz1014:
Here is a brief history of my wife's Moto X

About half a year ago, kid threw it in toilet, wife took it out and decided to use it, it went black later on in the day. Did the whole rice trick and after several days of different methods, finally got it back to working condition without any issue.

Sometime last week, wife decided to use my Acer Iconia A500 high charge USB car adapter to charge her cell phone. Screen went black. No amount of volume +/-/power combo could bring anything up. Plugged it into wall charger, got the infamous green light indicating battery is pretty much crap. Tried charging via computer, wall charger, factor cable etc, all the same.

Went on ebay and bought a replacement battery which arrived yesterday, took a lot of cursing and prying to get the back off of the moto x to change the battery. Everything went smoothly, plugged in charger, no green light/response/nada. Swapped the battery back to the original one, green light came on, swapped to one bought on ebay, black screen. So I left the new battery in and plugged in the wall charger with factory cable overnight, next morning now I see the green light but phone still wont power on.

Any suggestion or ideas on what I can do next other than chuck it into the trash at this point?
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Have you tried holding the power button for up to a minute even?

Sounds like the charger may have fried something... Other than the battery.
[Moto X Q&A] deboyz1014:
hold power down for more than 1 min, nothing
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Unfortunately it's sounding dead. Or try another cable and charger and leave it over night.

Not much other Troubleshooting to do if it's powered off.
[Moto X Q&A] deboyz1014:
guessed I can leave it on the charger for 24 hours and see what happened. Tried different factory cables as well as wall chargers, all the same results.
[Moto X Q&A] dtg7:
Try the solution suggested here (post #6) , i.e. take everything out of the phone, battery and Sim, and hold down power button for ten+ seconds. similar to what you'd do to a laptop to discharge residual charge or reset battery related things.
[Moto X Q&A] deboyz1014:
Tried it, still have Green Light of Death. I guessed its time to move on, thanks for all the suggestions.

[XDA Assist] Totalrapture:
Hi Everyone,

Im using an att LG G2 with Paranoid Android installed. I believe it to be PA version 3.4 and Android version 4.3.1 from looking af the about phone settings. Basically Ive had this phone on loan to someone for about a year and it is just bogged down with shovelware. Netflix wont even load. I was comfortable playing around with ROMs before but ive been in the Ios scene lately and am out of practice.

My main concern is having the phone back to its speed from before, getting rid of all of the apps, and starting fresh. Id like to keep PA, hopefully upgrade to the latest version, but if i can just factory reset that works too. I'm pretty sure i could reinstall PA starting from scratch with a clean phone. I've been through the forums different times and I really do find that the info is all consolidated well. I hope I don't come accross as lazy or unwilling to search, I just had a bad experience flashing my Galaxy S2 so whenever I'm not certain on the process I try to consult with people more involved.

Thank you all for your time,

Andrew Rapp

I(m currently switching between GSM and 3g - however i gprs seems to work fine for browsing however 3g does not seem to be working for browsing but ok for calls!! Im in the birmingham area where 3g coverage is normally superb - is anyone experiencing similar problems or know a possible way to resolve? I soft reset doesnt resolve the issue!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tony.wheeler:
I am in T-Mobile UK and have no problems so sorry cannot offer advice - is surfing with GPRS OK? I have found T-Mobile customer support very good - give them a try. Their tech support people seem to know what they are talking about which is nice too - much different to O2. Good luck

PS - if not tried then take a look at the excellent plug-in by Daniel Herrero here. I doubt it will fix this problem but it saves lots of battery power and is very configurable.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] phatphat:
I have exactly the same problem. 3g is really slow for surfing and GPRS is so much faster. In fact a lot of the the time on 3g I just get error messages saying the page is not available etc but if I then switch to GSM it loads in a second.

I have found something weird though: If I switch the phone off or go in to comm manager and switch the line connection off then try to surf or download on 3g it will not work.

If however, I switch the phone or the connection on then switch to gsm, and then to UMTS/3g it will surf on 3g.

For this I use Daniel Herrero's excellent program to fast switch.

but even this method sometimes doesn't work.

What I've resorted to is surfing on GPRS and when I need to download something, quickly switch (using Dan's Program) to 3g.

Am I right in thinking the no 3g connection after being switched on is a known issue with the Hermes?

3G connection issues on TMobile-Vario2

Dear all,

Appears the south-east also has the same type of connection issues. Everything appeared well until about 7-10 days back.

I e-mailed T-Mobile support and they advised that there were some network issues which could have impacted the service. I did notice that their on-line account services had also been upgraded around the same time period - maybe a coincidence - but every since then the phone doesn't seem to surf properly on the 3G service. AND, battery life goes down dramatically - I only now manage to get about a day's use out of the damn phone!

I've got a replacement battery from T-Mobile - but same thing happens. I think it's all inter-related!

So what's the solution anyone? 'cos I am getting rather hacked off with it all!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] phatphat:
I'm getting hacked off with really bad now.

My grps is faster than 3g. Period. Regardless of reception. Anyone got a solution???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nolovelust:
try disabling hsdpa with hermes tweaker and reboot your phone.make sure you are not connected to gprs while disabling it. it has solved my problems.

3G connection issues on TMobile-Vario2

Same here in the Canary Wharf area for the last 7-10 days. First I blamed my radio rom - I have upgraded to 1.34.00.10 when the problem started. But then I have also tried 1.27 and few older ones - all the same problem. Fast grps, but no 3G. The battery also dies quite fast on 3g, so I have now switched to GSM only. :-(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] variotwo:
Don't know if any of you have done this already but I was having the 3G problems for a couple of weeks and battery was draining quickly, I phoned up T-Mobile and asked them if HSPDA was turned on on my account which it wasn't, since they turned it on the problems have disappeared and my connection speed is now at least 750 kbs.

3G issues

i have had my t-mobile for over a week now, but in the shop they said there was no 3G in edgbaston, birmingham but when i got it home i connected quite easily:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] bobbyelliott:
No 3G in Glasgow. Was fine until 7-10 days ago. Phoned T-Mobile and the guy said they knew of problems. Asked for HSDPA to be activated, he claimed to have done this but no difference. Another post implies that they might not actually enable HSDPA first time of asking.

I bought the phone for 3G. It clearly has nothing to do with the handset since it worked fine for 3 months. Can I make a claim against T-Mobile?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JPHCCFC:
i activated HSDPA and this resolved the issue for me!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shenhua1337:
Hi

Just like the title says.

I'm trying to flash a Chinese i9500 4.4.2 with GT-I9500_sboot.tar hopefully to get rid of the nasty China Unicom boot logo (not animation, logo like it should say "Samsung Galaxy S4" but shows the carrier on my phone.

But I wish to have a backup in case sth goes wrong, so how does one dump the sboot bootloader block into backup for later use in odin?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shenhua1337:
Well I've decided to give it a go without backup... and ODIN failed to write the bootloader (possibly the one I wanted to use from another thread, which is used to restore to stock is earlier than 4.4.2) with

invalid magic string error :(

This sux... is there really no way to change this crappy carrier logo now?
[Sony Smartwatch 3] CommanderROR:
Hi,

I have a strange and issue here...

My Smartwatch 3 won't let me set an alarm via voice command. The exact same words create an alarm just fine in Google Now on my phone, but on the SW3 it understands correctly, but only throws me card with a google search result. What is wrong here? It should behave exactly the same, shouldn't it???

Also, vibration is really weak. Most of the time I don't even notice, especially while walking or biking. My Pebble had a much better vibration motor apparently. Is there a way to increase the intensity?

Anyone else seeing this?

which one to use at any particular time?

Just voice on Verizon - no SIM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightfire:
Looks like there are 100 other people who are just like me - don't know.

It looks like this would be possible with just a switch of APN's and checking a choice under "networks" or possibly it would auto choose the APN based on networks choice. But in practical application would it work?

I know i have switched b/w AT&T, T-Mobile, and VZW and it would recognize the network. Only network that wouldn't work for me was Sprint.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dualityim:
Verizon LTE phones require a Verizon SIM to work with both its CDMA network and its LTE network. If a Verizon SIM is not present in one of these devices, it won't work with either Verizon's CDMA network or its LTE network.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightfire:
Yes, my question though is, for voice only on Verizon - without SIM just CDMA activation - Can a person have both and switch easily between them by activating the 3g data - voice via phone identification no SIM required with Verizon (pageplus) and a SIM for at&t (straighttalk or redpocket).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dualityim:
Ah, interesting. I hadn't thought about using a CDMA MVNO on Verizon. I know that if you are just using Verizon, CDMA activation without SIM won't work because Verizon is using the SIM to authenticate to its CDMA network on LTE-enabled phones. But for Page Plus, you may be able to manually program the CDMA activation without using a SIM? Have you manually programmed CDMA phones to work on Page Plus in the past, and if so, how does it work?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightfire:
Yes, I have a Moto-G activated on pageplus. I called them up, gave the ph ID then called a Verizon activation number. Worked well.

My problem is I am on the edge where Verizon works a bit better (have to walk outside and find a reception area) at my home with AT&T not picking up except occasionally. If I had the cheap pageplus plan for Verizon (not LTE) and Redpocket or straighttalk activated on AT&T it would give me a bit of flexibility if I could do it on one phone.

I just don't know if it will work. Perhaps the Nexus 6 being a LTE device won't activate on pageplus as a 3g device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightfire:
I may just activate an AT&T MVNO SIM on data and just use hangouts and hangouts dialer. Use wi-fi at home and data SIM when about. Redpocket has a T-mobile 1 GB plan for $10/month; haven't yet tried Tmobile reception. I live in a cellular black hole.
