[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Yes you will be able to install OTA updates. You can either.

1. Wait for the OTA to come to you.

2. Download the OTA zip (posted on the forums) and manually flash it in TWRP yourself. Which is great because you won't have to wait for the OTA to come to you which can take days or weeks.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Under developer options untick Update CM recovery as well before flashing the OTA

I hope this is not the wrong place to ask.

Both of them are very powerful and gorgeous, so I don't know which one to get. Maybe I have to narrow down to the build quality and experience. If you guys had a chance to use or at least hold them in your hands, pls give me advice.

Thanks a lot :)
[General Questions and Answers] mingolianbeef:
Depends on what you are looking for. I had an M7 on Sprint, and my friend had an M8. The highlight of the device is the clean UI and the magnificent sound! (Nothing beats those boomsound speakers on the market right now). It also holds well in a slight scuffle with water if needed (ipx3 rating).

Cons: the big bezels and capacitative buttons. Repairs are next to impossible if you want to do them yourself. And honestly, if u aren't a case person, it doesn't take long for the aluminum to show a couple battle scars after a scuffle with your cupholder or kitchen table lol.

I cannot speak on the Z3 from experience. However, it is definitely waterproof, and if you are a flashaholic or a dev, Sony is a dream company, as they have already release android lollipop builds for a lot of devices. And Sony Xperia devices are supported update wise for a long time. The bezels are nice and no antiquated buttons!! Oh and Sony cameras are to die for on phones, compete with iPhone cameras (considered to be industry leading, and rightfully so) on any day!

Can't really give cons because idk about the phone all that much.

Hope this helps :)

Edit: excuse my mistake, the m8 does not have capacitative buttons, it has on screen buttons, it just has that horrible bottom bezel as if it does have the capacitative buttons like the m7

When trying to turn it on the only thing that happens are green flashes on the screen. Can't boot to recovery mode, no device shows up when connected to computer.

Is it possible to use JTAG to recover pictures/etc from the phone? If yes, does anyone know someone reputable who would do this and how much they would charge?

[HTC Breeze] cupertino:
Hi,

I got a Dopod 595 from Taiwan with updated firmware

ROM 1.15.709.3

Radio 1.06.00.10

Service Pack 3.709.1.7

http://www.dopodasia.com/Dopod/Singapore/En/Products/SmartPhone/595/spec.htm

From the spec, it says it is HSDPA, Edge enabled. However, the Cingular store here in San Jose, CA says otherwise. That's why I can't get on the Cingular 3G network or Edge. I can only get on internet via GPRS.

Is that true, if not, can someone please let me know how can I get on Cingular's 3G network ?

Thank you

Hi All,

Taken delivery of a new one plus one today. Delivered and shipped by Amazon, but supplied by a company in China.

All elements of the phone work except the cellular. (wifi is fine)

Followed all the You tube clips to ensure sim is plugged in the right way. (i did manage to receive 1 message regarding a vm - thats all.)

No Cellular. BTW its on Orange / EE . In the settings the hardware does not appear to have the radio switched on.

Also no IMEI....

Does any one know if this can be fixed from a software perspective ?

I have upgraded other phones in the past but no experience with this one.

Any help greatly appreciated otherwise its going back to Amazon....

Thanks all.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] slidesear:
I got this (http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/shell-holster-combo-for-galaxy-note-4/) at the Verizon store for my AT&T Note 4.

First of all, the s-pen, charging port, and heart rate monitor are all easily accessible with plenty of finger room. The case has a very nice soft touch feel to it and feels comfortable in hand. The buttons are left bare so you can keep the nice clicky feeling. It's completely open at the top and bottom so it allows at least some of those sexy chamfered edges to be seen (some might not like the missing protection.)

Leaving the most unique part of this case for the end... The kickstand. It handles both landscape and portrait orientations but the balance is a tad bit off in landscape (not by much.) The kickstand is nice and definitely comes in handy for watching videos and making video calls.

Not sure about the edges being scratched as I am not planning to take it off anytime soon.

EDIT: I don't use the holster at all.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] CavyS:
I believe what he's saying is that if you have an unlocked (international) version of the M8 you wont get updates from AT&T just because that's the carrier you're using. You'll get the international models updates.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Wonders_Never_Cease:
So I bought the device from some guy from Canada

it's unlocked at&t device (I'm not at&t carrier)

This is why you wont get updates from att,your not on their network,doesnt matter if phone is att based,the updates come from the carrier your using. Unlocked/US Developer devices are different they are supported directly ftom htc not a specific carrier. If your cid is CWS__001, You have an ATT branded phone,unlocked or not you wouldnt get any updates from ATT.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2udCrRAZdK:
This is probably something I've done that is really stupid but I can't figure it out. My Nexus 6 is completely stock. Just got it, haven't unlocked the bootloader and haven't rooted it.

I have gone to the Security settings and enabled "Unkonwn Sources". I have even install Fdroid after doing so.

I'm now trying to install other apps (Amazon app store, and others from fdroid) and I can't.

It opens the install screen, tells me all the permissions the app will use, and gives me the "Cancel" and "Install" buttons. However, I cannot press the "Install" button. The cancel buttons works fine, but not the install button.

Anyone know what I've done wrong?

Thanks in advance folks.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jocelyn:
In my experience, this is usually related to third party screen related apps that control screen brightness. In my case, lux creates this behavior, and needs to be disabled to install things. If you don't have a third party app like this installed, try temporarily disabling ambient display or auto brightness.

[Nexus 9 Original Android Development] minnieman:
Hello all!

I am going to start work on adding a usb micro sd card reader to the nexus 9. I started off by taking off the nexus 9 backplate (very easy, just need a finger nail to get the clips undone) and you are immediately greeted with the internals of the tablet. The first thing I noticed is an indentation for what I believe to be where the micro sim card would go for the LTE version of the tablet, it could also be a place were they were going to put a micro sd expansion slot but may have ruled it out in the end. I also noted that there is some grooves for routing wires down to the micro usb slot, which would definitely make it easier to keep the wires clean looking. the micro sd card adapter I was thinking of using is this one: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Nano-Mo...6610073&sr=1-10&keywords=micro+sd+card+reader

I would end up tripping of the usb connector for the reader and soldering wires straight from the read to the mobo.

Take a look at the pictures enclosed and let me know if you have any suggestions.

Stay tuned! More updates to come!

Hello.

I've installed Lollipop on my Nexus 5 and I wondered if there is a way to get the pictures for my contacts who have Whatsapp to be displayed as there contact picture in the contacts app. On Kitkat if a contact was on Whatsapp it would use that image for there contact picture. I can't seem to get this to work on Lollipop. I'm not sure how I acheived it on Kitkat.

Another question is at the top of the conatcts app there is a contact called ME which has my name. On Kitkat this used to display my Google account picture, but no Lollipop it just displays a letter. Is there a way to sync this contact with my Google account?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ricorico:
Hello to all professional user:

As I check the informations of the softank with mtty.exe and device infomation, found some questions for CID, radio and rom upgrading.

On device informatin show as following:

Rom date: 07/24/06

On boot mode:

Softbank SPL1.04, IPL1.01

mtty.exe shown the CID is HTCSVODAK801??HTCEUSB, and Level = FF,

(Not SuperCID)

Think the seller in H.K. only did changed the rom from 1.33.761.4 ?? to 1.23.708.4 07/24/06, but didn't made it SuperCID.

I'm wondering how can I use it in H.K. without SuperCID ??????:confused:

Because of bootloader version 1.04 is allow to flash rom without checking CID, and the rom date is before 12/01/2006, I assume it can be upgrade to new radio and rom versoin (as XDA reminder: X01HT which sold after 12/01/2006 is not allow to upgrade) !!! Am I right ?

So, can I make it SuperCID with " HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a " software pack and SSPL-HERM.exe under the above conditions ?

If not, is it possible for just bypass the procedure of SuperCID and go ahead for radio and rom upgrade ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ricorico:

I just wanna know, base on the existing hardware and software conditions, does my machine can/need unlock or not?

Since then I have flashed it with the SA HTC rom 1.35 then downgrade the BL to 1.04 and have now loaded aku 3.3 HTC Test rom. All in english. I believe if you spend sometime reading the upgrade procedures contained in the wiki you will have no probs however I cannot comment on the chinese roms. This is a great site with some truely clever people working on these devices :cool:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ricorico:
Thanks the reply !!!

What is your SPL at first ??? does it unlocked before your flash the new rom ???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] BlueAnt1958:
Originally it was SPL 104

When I flashed it with the SA rom 1.35 it went to SPL 109 so I downgraded back to SPL 104.

Now I have flashed it with HTC test rom aku3.3 and it is SPL 109 again

My Galaxy Nexus (GSM) seems to be unlockable, every time that i type "fastboot oem unlock" the phone shows the warning screen and everything, i selected YES and the bootloader gets unlocked..

But every time that i reboot the bootloader its showed LOCKED again, this is automatically.

Obviously i cant flash anything because bootloaders its autolocked every time, so if i want to flash a factory imaged i get stucked after this autolocked thing.

Also i cant flash another recovery, wont "stick", i dont know why but im reaally tired of this.

i tried via fastboot, odin, galaxy nexus toolkit, even NRT.

[MENTION=6180894]Hongdae[/MENTION] since the latest samsung rom update I also reach *#0808# through hidden menu app only, not via dial pad.

I'll update the OP accordingly.

I had the issue of QPST connection dropping but was able to reestablishe after several attempts.

Try to launch nv manager, you should be able to select the 3g bands from the check boxes without the need of edit nv values manually.

Also check if your phone shows a valid IMEI number that also equals the one printed on the back of your device.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hongdae:
Okay. Yeah the IMEI is the same as the one printed on the back, so I guess it is valid. By now I'm trying to fix the QPST connection but it is not working yet.

Maybe KIES recovery could fix my phone, but I think this problem comes from EFS folder and I don't know if KIES reinstalls that content.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Yeah maybe a good idea to do a full format and then use kies recovery.

I can upload my EFS folder backup for you if you want to check against your existing folder and see if there're any major differences.

Though mine is a G906K model if it makes any difference.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hongdae:
That would be awesome, thanks! I made a backup of my NV values with QPST but the restore is not working, so I have no backup of mine.

Actually, what I modified are these values, following the procedure on:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/how-to-add-rf-lte-frequency-bands-to-t2886059

17. In the NV Browser window, scroll down to ID 01877 (aka NV 1877) > Read.

Then write "0" to NV 01877 with QXDM. This initializes (write enables) the item for QPST. We need to do the same for several more NV items.

18. Select ID 00441 > Read. > Write "0" to NV 00441 with QXDM. This initializes (write enables) the item for QPST.

19. Select ID 00946 > Read. > Write "0" to NV 00946 with QXDM. This initializes (write enables) the item for QPST.

20. Select ID 02954 > Read. > Write "0" to NV 02954 with QXDM. This initializes (write enables) the item for QPST.

21. If you do not intend to add any new LTE bands, skip to step 24. Otherwise,

Select ID 06828 > Read. > Write "0" to NV 06828 with QXDM. This initializes (write enables) the item for QPST.

22. Select ID 06829 > Read. > Write "0" to NV 06829 with QXDM. This initializes (write enables) the item for QPST.

23. If you wish to add LTE bands and have already calculated a custom value from the instructions in the thread, then use QXDM to write that value to both ID 06829 and ID 06829, writing one item at a time.

Otherwise, write (decimal) "17592185995263" to both ID 06828 and ID 06829, writing one item at a time. This will enable all LTE bands.

Maybe I made a mistake when changing them.
