[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xxeddixx:
Hey guys need some feedback before I hurt myself :(

I bought a Cingular 8125 with 2.25 on it, I want to upgrade to 2.26 so I can try faria's 3.3

Now, The phone was bought off Ebay and im using a Fido (Canadian Service provider) Sim Card on it and I can make calls perfectly (Theres Cingular Branding on it still too), This must mean the phone is fully unlocked RIGHT?!?!

I was thinking instead of going the scary route of DOS screens and 1.x buttons Roms , Can I just just Skip to the T-Mobile 2.26 Updater ?

I havent done anything so for all I know the first time I run it will probably tell me bugger off :)

need feedback asap as I want to do it right now
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
The FIRST thing you need to do ASAP is to figure out if you have a G3 or G4. Then read. When you're done reading, read some more. Unless you want a $400 brick, your choice.

btw, yes you need to unlock if you want to flash an unofficial ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xxeddixx:
Well I didnt say 2.25.0000000000000

So obviously its a G3

anyways,

Ive already done my reading, Im asking in my case specifically , can I just run the T-Mobile 2.26 Update program on my Cingular G3 2.25 Wizard Because I have reason to belive it is already unlocked as I am using a FIDO Sim on it and it works prefectly

please reply asap as my curiousity always wins out first and I'm about to do it anyways
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
That means that your SIM unlocked, not necessarily CID unlocked.

Go ahead and upgrade to the 2.26, then to the WM6 or whatever. And if it doesn't work all you've done is waste yours and my time.

When in doubt, unlock. If you're that concerned about unlocking then you should stick to official ROM's
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xxeddixx:
How do you check the locks on the phone? (especially CID)

Service Code?

thanks for your time :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Dr Puttingham:
You have not read enough my friend. Last chance from me.

There are TWO things to unlock.... SIM is so you can change SIM's... CID is so you can change ROM's. To my knowledge there's no way to determine if your unlocked. It would appear your SIM is unlocked. I don't know if your CID is unlocked. I DO know however that I could have downgraded to 1.05, unlocked completely with lokiwiz, installed 2.26 and then WM6 in the amount of time I've wasted here.

<poof>
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xxeddixx:
alright Doc thanks, but loosen your grip on my balls next time, more of a yelp than a cough :p
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] newbie2:
Actually, you got off MUCH easier than some with your first post here without reading the information first. A LOT of the forum's members would have dragged you through the coals before they hog-tied you for not reading and searching for the answers first.

Dr. P was kind enough to give you some direction. Others -- including myself -- chose NOT to respond to yet another "noob" post where there's obviously not been NEAR enough effort put forth to find the solution FIRST.

We're all willing to help around here -- AFTER you've exhausted all other resources. That includes reading the stickys dealing with unlocking and upgrading and reading the WiKi. Between the stickys and the Wiki, there's no reason to post the question you posted. Yes -- some of the threads are long, but to know exactly what you're doing and what you'll encounter by NOT following the instructions, they need to be read -- each and every post.

Live and learn, my friend. I've always said there's a reason God gave us TWO eyes, TWO ears and ONE mouth -- it's to spend twice as much time looking and listening as we do talking and asking.

So my note 2 blew up on me this past weekend so I got my daughters MT4GS. it was running stock and I couldn't handle it. I had been a little turned off by the wire trick that needs to be done with the current method. I would have attempted it if that team had not pulled their links for the windows version. After cruising some other htc threads I came across rumrunner s-off. Turns out the universal method works just fine on this device. I am currently s-off and flashing roms with no issues. If anyone needs more info or thinks I should write it into a guide just let me know.

[Samsung Galaxy Music] Alonso1398:
Hello. I'm sorry but actually there's no lollipop for our device, however there is cm 11 with kitkat 4.4.4 but it isn't 100% stable. There's also cm 10.1, the android version maybe be a little old but it's more stable.

To flash this roms, you need this CWM

And for rooting, I think the easiest way is using Cydia Impactor
[Samsung Galaxy Music] weedmaan:
Boot loop..

Hi. I got a Samsung GT-S6012 that keeps rebooting the Samsung logo and doesn't start. At first I got the phone stuck on the very first logo with Samsung model name. So I did some search. Downloaded Odin and latest 4.1.2 official firmware for that phone model flashed it. Everything worked for a few days but then the battery ran out and phone shut down and when I turned it on again it got stuck on the very first logo and nothing. Then I flashed the same firmware again to get it running and when I checked it the flashing didn't really fully wiped the internal memory cause the data in it was still in tact. So I thought I need full wipe to fix the phone. So installed custom recovery, rooted it and flashed CM 10.1 on it. It was running very smooth everything seemed okay but I wanted the stock rom. So I went to recovery wiped whatever was possible and flashed the stock firmware in download mode again. And now I got stuck on the second Samsung logo and it keeps rebooting it self. I recognize that I cannot wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in now stock recovery cause it gives me android logo within it a red flag. The wipe cache supposed to fix boot loop problem but it's not an option for me anymore. All I can do now is just enter Download mode. I'm downloading 4.0.4 firmware and gonna try to flash that one see if it works but I doubt. Can anyone suggest me a way to fix it? Please I'm really desperate. :(

If you have trouble getting the bootloader and/or Modem to stick, install "Triangle Away" by [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] and follow the directions to reset your counter (even if it says zero), then boot into download mode, and re-flash them with Odin and they should stick. NOTE: It has also been noted by several people that booting directly into download mode from a powered-off device and flashing the BL/Modems will make them stick as well.

To verify, you can download "Phone Info - Samsung" and make sure that all 4 items say N900TUVUENK3 (Bootloader, Baseband, PDA and CSC).

So if I'm on cm 12 I need to get back to stock firmware or touchwiz ROM to flash using Odin due to the stock kernel? I'm trying to use mobile Odin on cm 12 and the files won't stick. I tried using triangle away but it says stock kernel is needed.

You'll want to flash the entire package using desktop ODIN in that case, since AOSP/CM kernels won't boot TW and vice-versa.

The other thing you can try is using desktop Odin. Power off your phone, take battery out, put battery back in and boot into download mode, volume down and power button.

Once you are download mode, flash the modem and bootloader separately. Then reboot and profit.

No need to flash full stock image from my experience.

Kies update

Hi..

I updated my note 3 using Kies..

But I see that the build number says N900TUVUENK3, but the Baseband version is still N900TUVUDNF9.

Is this normal?, if not, how can I update just the Basband..or should I flash the whole thing again?

Download the bootloader and modem+nonhlos from this thread.

Shut your phone off completely. Pull the battery for about 15 seconds. Put the battery in and boot directly into download mode. Odin over the bootloader and modem and let it auto reboot. Everything should be happy.

Dear All,

My M8 became too slow. Everything lags even opening apps,launcher, music and camera etc. and I was wondering what is the reason,

Yesterday I unmounted my SD card from the Storage Setting, and the phone got fast again.

The SD Card is:

SanDisk Extreme 64 GB MicroSDXC UHS-1

18GB used and formated (By default) as exFat.

It is faster a little bit, but the lag still exist, and the difference is day and night when card is unmounted.

Any other tips?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazelem37:
Is anyone experiencing terrible phone battery life on the Nexus 5 with the Moto 360 connected?

I see a lot of other posts about Nexus 5 battery life on Lollipop and as luck would have it, my timing is such that I just got the Moto 360 the day after I got Lollipop installed. For that reason I'm not ruling out that the Lollipop upgrade could be the main cause. Currently though, my battery life is roughly half of what it was pre-Moto 360/Lollipop.

I am typically a very light user of my phone and with the Moto 360 even less so,especially with screen-on time. I'm always on WiFi except when driving to/from work, get around 10 texts a day, maybe 30 emails (mostly work, which are through an Exchange server) and some Play Music/Audible listening with wired headphones. I would return home with 60-75% battery just 2 weeks ago and now it's closer to 15-25%. I'm completely stock, no-root and not very many (10-12) aftermarket apps other than stock Google. (No battery drainers like Facebook, etc.)

I'm admittedly somewhat of a noob when it comes to battery tracking apps such as are mentioned in all the other posts I've looked at, so I now have GSam installed and will look to get better stats before posting pics.

I will second the notion that I have read elsewhere: The battery tracker in Lollipop is flat-out wrong! I would get a really good idea in KitKat of anything that was going on with an app/service that was a battery drain and manage it accodingly. That's the main reason I never went looking for battery stat apps. Now, however, getting half the battery life I was, I almost never see any app or service jump above 7% and the most I've seen is 9%. That is a lie unless everything on my phone is using almost 50% more battery life across the board, including 3rd party.

I just wanted to throw this thread out there until I get some good screenshot stats from GSam to see if I was the only one seeing this issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I'm a similarly light user, during the working day I barely use it, and it's always on WiFi (3G reception where I work is terrible). Both my 360 and Nexus 5 were taken off charge at 7:30 this morning and as of now (4:25pm) my Nexus 5 is on 87% and my 360 on 83%. App wise I only the 360 for notifications on the phone and I only use Google apps bar a few extras on the phone (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SoundCloud, etc.).

If you're getting bad life then chances are an app is the culprit
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazelem37:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of right now GSam has been listing Android system services as the main battery culprit, but I know it's still early since it's only been installed for a few hours. Battery life on my 360 is great for me! I pulled it off the charger at about 4:00 AM (MST) and I'm at 81%. I have only turned on my phone screen three times for less a minute each time since it was 100% charge around 2 hours ago.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's funny, I never use any sort of battery monitor. I just use my phone as designed. I have all sync options on default settings. I've never needed to as I don't care about getting 6 hours SOT - if it lasts from when I get up to when I go to bed it's all good :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
It most likely isn't to do with your Moto 360 and more to do with some of the issues certain users seem to be experiencing with 5.0. Doing a factory reset or fresh install seems to help most of the time, probably because it gets rid of any offending apps.

Others have reported bad battery life in 5.0 until they updated to the latest Play Services, for instance.

If it is related to your Moto 360 it might be Google Fit acting up but I doubt it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazelem37:
Thanks. I have done a factory reset...twice actually, because I had read the same thing. If this is what Project Volta and 5.0 have brought us then Google can have it back! Well, just Volta cause I love Lollipop in all it's glory; I just need

decent

battery life.

Maybe I'll try disabling Google Fit and stick with Moto Body for ****s and giggles.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Worth a shot. For the record, my battery life is great before and after the 5.0 OTA. Better than KK using Auto Syncs, the same otherwise. There is still hope for your battery life and Project Volta

Also if you're doing a factory reset but letting it restore all your apps that might not help. The theory being you may have some apps or services which are not completely compatible with 5.0 causing issues. If you haven't already, perhaps try starting fresh and then slowly adding back apps.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gazelem37:
Good tip. That's something I hadn't given much thought to since I was so impressed with how far Lollipop has come and restoring all of my apps, folders, etc. I might have to give it another try.

P.S. EddyOS - I stole your signature because I liked it so much and it matches mine exactly. Hope you don't mind.

Hi,

on my Sony Z1 (I think the same of Z2) with 4.4.4 android. I want to connect two devices:

- one BT car device

Is it possible? I mean: can I connect the headset and then (when I enter on my car) connect with the BT car device? I think I could do that just using two different BT channel

Am I in the right way or not?

And, if yes, how can I choose a particular channel to connect with a particular gadget?
