VoLTE is the same as Avanced Calling 1.0... All markets have Advanced Calling.. Its the software upgrade on the device that is behind.. After the software is available it will allow the feature to be added.. VoLTE will be able to support both voice and data..

Moto X, Turbo and N6 are experiencing the same on the VZ Network

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo770:
Rooted stock Kit Kat tablet (V500) 2 weeks ago, and all went well. Used ioroot24. however 3/4 days ago started tablet, and tablet in boot loop.

Have searched and tried LG Hard Reset , gets to android robot deleting (only for very short time) and restarts in boot loop

Also Used LG mobile support tool which d/loads recovery file, appears to load on tablet (in d/Load mode) and reboots in boot loop again.

Button set to factory reset does not work either. Nothing shows up on screen. Have all drivers on as recommended. Adb etc.

Should I install Linux distro and use adb/fast boot commands? Am using win 8.1 x64 at present.

On starting shows LG logo, seems to boot for 15/20 seconds then reboots.

Point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Have searched everywhere, however, no solution appears to get tablet out of boot loop.

Thank you in advance.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltadroid:
It sounds like you should go back to stock with the LG Tool and root it over again. You are better off using a downgraded 4.2.2 ROM anyway if you want to use CM 11 because CM 11 needs the 4.2 base partitions to run properly.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mekoneko:
I'd personally stay with 4.4.2 base and use RedKernel instead of downgrading to 4.2 base.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltadroid:
When I closed my magnetic case to put the device to sleep, I was getting reboots with redkernel under heavy load.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo770:
Thanks for your reply. I have tried LG Tool several times to no avail. Restarts in boot loop every time, and buttons do not get me to factory reset.
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
I have an htc droid dna running cyanfox 4.4 its locked and i cannot get into it, it also has fast boot enabled so i cannot reboot into recovery, what do i do? Ive looked but cannot find anything like it.
[HTC Droid DNA] ngriggs:
Plug your phone into your computer. open a command prompt in your platform-tools folder, and type adb reboot bootloader. This will reboot your phone into bootloader, and from there you can access your recovery to do whatever you need to.
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
Sorry i forgot to mention but my usb debugging isnt enabled. And it being locked i cannot get into it to enable the usb debugging or disable the fast boot.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
You are running a custom rom?

In any event, hold down power until it hard reboots. Once the screen shuts off, keep holding down the power button and press the volume down button at the same time, this should boot you into bootloader to access recovery.
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
Yes i do have a custom rom. I tried your tip but it did not help. When i tried (while the phone was on) the phone shut off and the second the screen went blank i pushed down the volume. But it did the same thing as always. Htc logo flashes twice then it boots up.
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
Can anyone else give some insight?
[HTC Droid DNA] mopartonyg:
what do you mean locked? bootloder locked?
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
No, password locked so i cant get into the phone and change settings. And i cant do a factory reset because the phone has fast boot mode enabled, and i dont have usb debugging enabled. So im in a corner here. I was hoping disconnecting the battery would work like a hard reboot and kick off the fast boot but it did not work.
[HTC Droid DNA] dottat:
You don't need usb debugging enabled to do fastboot commands.

Fastboot oem task 28

Should wipe data for you.
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
It just says waiting for device. And it doesnt appear in the adb list of devices, though it does appear in the computer list of devices
[HTC Droid DNA] dottat:
That means your PC isn't loading then right driver for it in fastboot mode.
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
As ive said before, the phone is not in fastboot mode for programming. The fast boot im talking about is the mode on some phones that makes it boot up faster because it doesnt turn the phone completely off. Because of that i cannot reboot into my recovery or fastboot.
[HTC Droid DNA] dottat:
Holding power and volume up until you detect the reboot and then switching to holding only volume down overrides that. Make sure when doing this you are not plugged in.
[HTC Droid DNA] robertmoore208:
Soooo, why not just input the password to unlock the phone, just a shot in the dark OR give it back to whom you stole it from?
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
I did not steal this phone. It was stolen from me. That is why i know everything on the phone, except the password. And the volume up and power method did not work for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] Uzephi:
It is volume down. That could be why it didn't work.
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
That method still didnt work. Is there something i can do thatll maybe do a softbrick to the phone and allow me to flash it or get into bootloader?
[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
So am i screwed here?
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:

[HTC Droid DNA] lolkidz:
is there maybe anyway that i could touch 2 spots together on the motherboard to do some sort of hard reset? or would anything like that fry the board? im at the point of desperation

[HTC EVO 3D] WillJitsu:
I have been away from the EVO 3D scene for a quite a while. I dug my phone out of a shoe box and decided I want to sell it. It's currently running some AOKP ROM and I'd like to return it to the latest stock rooted ROM. It has HBOOT 1.40.1100 with S-OFF (picture of bootloader attached). What is the proper way to flash a stock rooted ROM without losing S-OFF?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
You can't lose s-off by flashing. If you flash RUU your bootloader will be locked, but s-off will remain. And since you have s-off your bootloader can be locked and you can still have custom recovery and flash everything you like
[HTC EVO 3D] WillJitsu:
Thanks. Is there any reason to unlock the bootloader?
[HTC EVO 3D] donkeykong1:
No. S-off is all you really need

The mods and admins have discussed this long ago. The idea was nixed due to the fact that most major sections already have a subfora for accessories. We also dont want to be responsible for deals gone bad. We decided that ebay or something similiar is the best place to buy and sell (there is a lot better recourse if a deal goes bad).

Settings greyed out. Stock ROM. I tried old Cingular APN settings but didnt work. Can i disable LTE somehow??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fmstrat:
Hi all,

I'm testing out a raw AOSP ROM with a few customizations (App Ops, 180 degree rotation, root, busybox) and I've noticed that the Miscellaneous bug seems to still exist in the android-5.0.0_r7 tag (lollipop-release branch). This was the closest thing I could find from Google that appeared to address it:

https://android.googlesource.com/pl...6793771cedb47aed72f1c64f870b70357746938^!/#F0

or easier to read on GitHub, found in another guy's ROM: https://github.com/C-RoM-L/android_...mmit/e6793771cedb47aed72f1c64f870b70357746938

... but it just seems like they're hiding that entry in release builds. Could this be why it's still showing up on an AOSP compilation? And if so, how do we negate it?

Thanks.
[Verizon LG G3] Cothek:
Here's my dilemma, I have a UDP and ordered a new phone from bestbuy and had it shipped to my home and swapped sim cards from my GNex to the new G3 (this allows me to keep UDP while taking advantage of contract pricing). I turned on the G3 and everything went as planned, including keeping my UDP (which I verified on my account on the VZW website), except that my G3 will not connect to LTE. It will connect to 3G and I have tried changing the network type to LTE/CDMA from global, and resetting the phone, and removing the sim, and putting the sim back into the GNex (which connected to LTE just fine). At this point I'm lost, any ideas?

Oh, and I'm afraid to ask VZ because they may make me switch to a "standard" data plan.
[Verizon LG G3] :
I also came from a Gnex :) ...and the g3 hasn't let me down at all. I've swapped sims with no issue btwn the 2. If your sim gives you LTE on your Gnex it should just be a matter of getting your g3 settings in order.

Have you tried manually entering apn settings? If not, that may be your issue. Here's a link: http://apn-settings.com/verizon-4g-lte-apn-settings-detailed-configuration-steps/

Also, you may want to search for 'Verizon apn settings' in XDA forums as well just to verify everything is correct on that link & because XDA forums tend to provide instructions and user feedback as well.

Good luck :)
[Verizon LG G3] Cothek:
So there is no "plus" to add apn settings on my phone...am I missing something?
[Verizon LG G3] gregbradley:
Please use the QUESTION and ANSWER sections to get ANSWERS to your QUESTIONS

Thread moved
[Verizon LG G3] :
Rrr...no you're no missing anything. Sorry about that. It only gives you the option to "reset to default" on the stock ROM.

BUT - if you take out your sim, power up the phone, then go to the APN setting, hit the 3 dot menu and it'll say "new apn", click on that and set up the APN from there. That SHOULD work. If not, unfortunately, you may have to get a different SIM from Verizon. Shouldn't they keep your plan if you just tell them the sim wont read on your phone? With Big Red though - who knows, right?
[Verizon LG G3] Cothek:
So i switched SIM's with my wife's phone and LTE fired right up meaning my SIM was "bad". I was advised to go a Verizon authorized retailer and to buy a new SIM there because they won't try to change my UDP. I went to a local VAR and got a new SIM without a hitch ($15) and no change to my UDP. LTE is working perfectly now. Thanks for the help.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DavidGGG:
I was transferring a stock S3 from an other carrier to VZ. However the phone shows up with the roaming triangle over the cell bars and can't make or receive calls even though the SIM card has been activated. VZ store rep said that since the phone wasn't originally an Verizon phone it can't be activated to work on their network. However the VZ tech guy indicated that it could be flashed and would then work.

I have used ODIN 3.09 to flash I535VRUDNE1 onto the phone. After that i had UID inconsistent error and did a factory reset and the phone appears to work fine. In the "about phone" confirms that i am on version I535VRUDNE1. However the original problem remains that "roaming" triangle icon is there and i can't connect to VZ cellular service. When it factory rebooted there was a VZ screen that noted that this sim card has been activated and verified my phone number but it is still in roam mode. Should I be trying to flash a different or more basic ROM to get VZ to recognized and support it? I am completely lost on what to do next.

Background is that the other carrier was a VZ partner and they shared towers but the phone spent 99% of the time on VZ towers and network so I know it works on their network.

Thanks

David

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viki412ag:
Help! I cannot flash a custom recovery onto my phone (Verizon/RAZR Maxx HD). I used to have SafeStrap installed and it worked fine. One day I took a OTA update and lost root. So I used RSD Lite to re-flash my stock partition so I could take advantage of Towelroot and Motopocolypse while they still worked and was successful in doing both. So my phone was unlocked and rooted again and I was so happy I just used it as is for a few months. Later on, on decided it was time to try a new ROM, at which point I attempted to flash CWM recovery and it failed. So then I tried flashing SafeStrap again, and now that also failed. Then, in the process of troubleshooting failure to flash a custom recovery I managed to unroot myself (thanks to someone's bad advice). :( ... And of course this happened after I already took the OTA update that patched the towelroot exploit. So now my phone is Unlocked but not rooted anymore. I still cannot flash CWM (which is what I'd like to do) and use a custom ROM. Any helpful advice or constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Are you sure you are unlocked? Boot into your fastboot screen and tell us what it says. If you are unlocked, it's easy to regain root. Flash a recovery (try TWRP since CWM seems to not work) and flash a SU zip.

Apparently they slipped in a fix for towelroot because I losr root. Still have an unlocked bootloader thanks to motopokalyse. I actually jacked my stock recovery and am working on fixing now. I'll let you know if I get it fixed and can flash a recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kirkers:
A forum thread about repartitioning or cleaning internal memory for the T-Mobile version of the Samsung S4 exists here: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2344939

Could a Recognised Developer review this and determine if it really is too risky to attempt on an i545 VZW version?

If it is feasible, how could it be done? What is the real level of risk? How to avoid disaster?

The posters on the T-Mobile thread suggest that just changing to a custom ROM will NOT free up the partition, so reformatting the internal partition appears to be the only way.

Would ADB on a computer with the i545 tethered via USB be a viable way to deal with clearing the partition?
[MX Player] bithajcsar:
Hi KTSamy,

I installed latest player and ARMv7 NEON codecs as it was advised by the player. However, it still not works properly.

I use a file manager capable to connect to my SMB shares and I initiate the playback from there. I tried to use HW+ decoder but I got a message stating that it is not supported. Using the recommended settings for HW decoder (software audio) I am still missing the sound. It worth to notice that audio channel selection contains 6 entries with some strange characters in them when in reality there are only two audio channels. As I found, others maybe some built-in subtitles, but there is nothing to do for them among audio channels. In this situation playback of a HD video is smooth enough, but there is no sound.

Switching to S/W decoder during playback solves problems with sound, and audio channel list shows the correct number and names of really existing audio channels. But in this mode even a SD video is painfully lagging. Impossible to see... If i switch back to HW decoder than sound remains and audio channel selection is also OK if the software audio decoding is selected. But the video still lagging. Not so much as in case of S/W decoding, but all my HD videos are rendered useless by that. Disabling sound in audio channel selection improves much the video playback, but again, without sound.

I think that the PAD2411 is a quite powerful device at least it should cope with HD video playback. Unfortunately it has numerous compatibility issues with almost all other video players due to the absence of its' own display. (Playback must go directly to the HDMI output.) MX Player is my unbeatable favorite and I use it on all my other devices without any problem. Do you have any idea how could I optimize the playback? Maybe the codec or the app should be adapted?

Thansk in advance!

Regarding audio issue on H/W decoder with S/W audio, Kindly collect the log immediately after playing the video & Upload here.

Regarding S/W issue, Your processor (Cortex A9 Dual Core) is a very old processor & not a powerful one. So, it can't handle many videos smoothly.

Note:

Kindly create a separate threads for your issues.

General issues are not to be reported on Custom Codec thread

[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
I was busy with my work. So, I was not much active in XDA from the last few weeks.

Actually, In network playback MX Player won't use software audio with H/W decoder to avoid authentication issue.

If you H/W+ is working on your device, you can use it as alternative.

If you still wish to use H/W decoder, if Switch to H/W+ & Revert Back to H/W decoder it will bring the audio back.

According to the information provided by the developer, MXPlayer major upgrade v1.8 will resolve network authentication issues.

[Nexus Player General] WhiteWidows:
Hello Fellow Nexus Payer Owners! I have started a dev project to get MPEG2, VC1, and WMA hardware decoding working on the Nexus Player in hopes together we can enable this. I have never attempted anything more than built roms from asop with slight modification so Im going to need some assistance on this project

Description of Issue

The Nexus Player had great possibilities had it not been rushed to market with buggy applications and lack of hardware codec licencing. To me this product would be the perfect HTPC if Plex had worked with 5.1 audio (DTS/AC3) pass-through and MPEG2 hardware decoding for use with my HDHomeRun Prime for live TV. But Asus or Google dropped the ball as this is not enabled so the HDHomeRun View app has to fall back to software decoding which make the stream very choppy. Most cable companies are still using MPEG2 for now.

Here is a discussion on the Nexus Player over at the Silicon Dust's Forums:

http://www.silicondust.com/forum2/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=17894

Research into MPEG2 on Android

Searching Around the fourms I stumbled on this post enabling hardware decoding on the Nexus 7 2013 and other ARM devices.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2517925

It seems they pulled libOmxCore.so from Cyanogenmod 11 on various devices and edited the media_codecs.xml. Ive contacted both contributors in hope I can discuss this with them. Im not sure there is any x86 CM12 Devices we can extract the libOmxCore.so from to test on the NP and thats if they have even merged they media codecs in CM12 yet.

Here are some projects and discussion for building ffmpeg into android which may enable MPEG2 decoding:

Ffmpeg on Android x86

https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/blogs/2013/12/06/building-ffmpeg-for-android-on-x86

As of right now Im just gathering information to get started on this project so anyone with any input will be appreciated.

Once I get my Nexus Player the way I want it and if there is a custom recover (ahemm TWRP) I will post my personal build for you to try out.

*EDIT* Google has pushed Android 5.0.1 (build LRX22C) to AOSP with reports that it has fixes for "video issues". Fingers crossed they enabled MPEG2 hw decoding so I don't have to ;)
