Whaaaaaaat? So you're saying it could just be good customer service? You are probably right, but this thread kind of freaked me out: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/word-warning-calling-verizon-t2966775

I just didn't know if they had bits in their bloatware that set off alarms when they are disabled or detected something fishy.

I was really ready to jump the Verizon ship and go off to T-Mobile or ATT - I stuck with my Galaxy Nexus on VZW for over 3 years because I wanted to have the freedom to have control over my own phone. The fact that the G3 was rootable (and free on Black Friday) made my decision to sign on for 2 more years. I just don't want anything messed up or have them know I'm rooted in case something does go wrong with the phone.

So even if it's paranoia it would be great if we had a list of apps that are safe to delete/freeze.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I read that as well, but we're still not completely sure about it. But, any time I ever called support for a phone (which as rare) or Verizon for support with a phone, I always returned it back to stock, unrooted before doing anything.

In fact, it appears from other posts and confirmation from the OP that he run the My VZW app and it asked for root permissions. I believe that's how they knew. Otherwise, they don't scan your phones, so I think you're safe.

I've been rooted ever since I got my first Android phone over 4 years and never once has VZW called me to say "Hey your phone is rooted. Your warranty is voided now."

They may be "Big Red" but I don't think they're "Big Brother". ;)

I just got the Maps 9.2.0 update (officially from the Play Store)

You can read about it here:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...oice-level-auto-corrects-misspelled-searches/

There's supposed to be an option to adjust the volume of the guidance voice called "Voice Level," but I don't seem to have it on my Z3 (stock firmware 77). Does anyone else have this option? To check, go to Maps > (hamburger) > Settings > Navigation settings > Voice Level.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Themes and Apps] tocirah1:
Bump?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Themes and Apps] RSchris:
Same here. French version, stock rom.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Themes and Apps] shkrmkr:
I do not have this option when I open the maps app. I searched the help section in maps and voice level is listed as a beta feature only on *some* android devices 4.4 kitkat and above. Instructions for use in the help section state "while navigating". Perhaps you must actually have navigation going (select destination and route>start navigation) in order for the option to appear in the settings?

*edit: the tilt option is there while NOT navigating. I will have to test my theory next time I am in the car.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Themes and Apps] tocirah1:
Thanks but the option unfortunately still doesn't show up. I assume I could get it to work with a build.prop edit, but I don't want to unlock my bootloader =_=

Hello guys!

unfortunately ! i broke my Galaxy Note II screen and now it's not shwoing anything.

in this phone ! i need to restor my picutures and videos saved in internal memory.

I cant via the cable and comtputer only because i have a password in the phone. and it's necessary to tap it before have access to internal memory on computer.

So ! i decide to flash the phone to remove the password ! but if i flash it !! I'll lose the pictures and videos in the internal memory or not ???

Please i need an answer :(

I cant change the screen cauz it's very expensive.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimateAnas:
If you flash using odin then no your internal storage won't be affected, however to get it to boot up you might need to do a wipe data/factory reset from recovery (doesn't delete the photos/files on internal memory card) otherwise it will just bootloop. Are you able to see anything on the screen at all?

help me i am stuck

hi team xda developers. i am stuck in a loop with my note 2 N7100.

I did root successfully to install dn4 rom. then i tried installing dn4 rom with twrp 2.3, which was latest updated. but not successfull. it gave error status 7. then read on some forum that new version is needed, so I flashed twrp 2.7. This time the installation of rom went successfull. But after successfull installation when i click reboot, it boots and open twrp again. tried going back to 2.3, tried cwm. but Now it is booting only in recovery mode and I cannot go any further. Please help

I have also tried clearing cache after successfull rom installation
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimateAnas:
Right okay, well in that case I don't think you'd need to do a wipe, just try flashing it like that and see what happens.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

You can use download mode and flash a stock rom and then try doing this whole procedure again. I believe you need to be on 4.3+ bootloader in order for it to work properly. Did you do a wipe data/factory reset before flashing the rom or not?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AchalMaloo:
not done

Hi. Thanks for reply.

I flashed stock rom 4.4 from Samsung website. Then tried the whole thing again. It boots this time then displays new animated logo like note4. Plays the sound and then does not not further. I am now stuck on stock 4.4 rom

Did you go into recovery and then do a wipe data/factory reset or not? If you didn't then try that and it should then work

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capaints:
I need some help here, We (the wife and me) bought two s4's New a year ago and both was MDK, I Rooted and loaded a custom Rom, All was good until a few months ago when I wanted to put a Newer Rom on my phone, I started flashing this Rom and that Rom and then I had this problem! I had loaded a Rom or ????? that Locked my Bootloader and Now I'm unable to Flash Rom's

I'm really a Noob at this I only root my own phones and Need help here So I don't do it again to my wifes phone which Needs to be updated, it's on 4.2.2 MDK She has a New s5 and I'm taking her phone.

(1) Please tell me what I need to know to NOT Lock the Bootloader ???

(2) What is the Newest Debloated Stock vzw Rom Need Wifi Hotspot ??

(3) Steps for Flashing, I want to be sure I'm doing it right......

Thank You for your Help in Advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
Are you sure her s5 is mdk bootloader? The mdk bootloader was on the first released s4.

Essentially once you have a custom rom and and u locked bootloader, never take a verizon ota update. That usually patches known exploits to your phones bootloader and locks it down. What was the last rom you flashed that locked your bootloader?

Also, did you have a custom recovery installed? Can you get back to your custom recovery? If so, you're bootloader is not locked. You will have to wipe your phone clean and flash a new rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Capaints:
I will be working on her older phone, the s4 with the MDK bootloader and Now has become mine, Her new phone is the s5 and it's happily Rooted with S-S and a custom Rom.

I followed this guide, and everything seems fine, except for one thing, sometimes, when people try to call me, it shows to them that my phone is turned off or already on a call, I tested this a few times, and my signal is full, it doesn't matter if i'm on wifi or mobile data, it just not receiving calls, the only fix that I found is activating and deactivating the airplane mode, but just works for a while, the worst thing is that I don't know when actually is not working.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] old fox:
Hello, i have two problems with my Xperia device. I use Android 4.4.4 (14.4.A.0.108)

First, i have a problem with Sony Smartwatch MN2 and connecting them to my phone.

My previous phone was HTC One S, and my Smartwatch worked very well with it.

Now, i set up my Smartwatch with my new Sony Xperia Z1 compact. But i have a problem. I connect them with my phone, but when i run app on smartwatch like missed calls, or messages, it loads normaly, but when i try to run weather, or smart camera, or any app like this, it takes veeery long time to load so my smartwatch turn off display or if i still touch it with my fingers, it loads after 20 seconds.

I know this is not normal, i still use stamina mode and other baterry saving features from Sony, but i also tried to turn them all off, restart phone, but smartwatch dont still work as they should. Can you advise me something?

I have one else very strange problem. I do not have pre paid datas from my service provider, so i have turned them off, and i in NoRoot firewall denied all IP adresses that can be connedcted to with mobile datas. When i turn them on, i cant load anything, so i know NoRoot firewall works. But when i am on the wifi, after sometimes one minute, there comes a message from my service provider, that i have to pay for downloaded datas 0,0009€ (so i got this message 10 times a day and it is together 1 cent - 0,01€), it is not much of course, but, when the message comes 10x a day and wakes u up at night, it is not very good. But when i am not connected to wifi, these sms don´t come from my provider. It is very strange. Where can be the problem?

And last little question - is there any free offline app, for example i scan a barcode from my loyality card, and it will be stored in my phone and ready to use in store?
[YotaPhone] wihushae:

Yotaphone has anounced a loyalty program existing customers. As a proof that you are an existing customer you have to enter the imei of your old yotaphone.

Hi,

Out of the blue, I can't find any WiFi networks. NONE.

ALTHOUGH, if I enter my network's ssid and p/w manually, it will connect.

I just recently flashed stock, but when I did that it worked flawlessly. I also edited build.prop and deleted some bloatware, but I restored everything back the way it was and it still fails working.

No WiFi network is found. Anywhere.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruttix:
I hadn't.. Do you think that could really cause it not to find any networks?

Also, is there a way of erasing that now? Or do I have to reflash?

Either way I'm going to have to use TB to get my apps and data back.. Do you think maybe that has something to do with it? (I only restore user apps though)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well, no. The best way is to make nandroid backup, then factory reset the phone. If this works, you'll restore apps via titanium and add google account manually. If it doesn't, you'll just restore nandroid backup.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruttix:
I've tried restoring with nandroid (via TWRP 2.8 for G3) a while back and it failed..

But anyhow, TB is good enough for me.

Should suffice, if it's not ROM fault.

For anyone who had this screw up, what I dis flash a new ROM and NOT add a google account right at the start, but add it manually later on. That fixed it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schaggo:
Problem usually relies with wpa_supplicant file which indeed holds the information for configured networks. It lies in the data partition.

A wipe/factory reset clears the file and thus eliminates the problem.

The wpa_supplicant gets filled upon configuring the google account on the device, as google restores the known wifi networks to your device, which means nothing else but filling up wpa_supplicant. If it gets corrupted, you'll get the symptoms you had.

I'm at my wits end trying to figure out if this phone is repairable or not.

Dropped the phone and cracked screen, now theres no power. LED isnt working, computer isnt detecting the phone when I plug it in, but the phone/battery gets warm. Maybe alittle to warm. Im assuming that since it wont vibrate or show any sign of powering on, theres more to it than repairing the screen/digitizer. Just not sure how to narrow down the issue.
