[Nokia Lumia 920] dirtybudha:
This isn't a fair comparison. What it REALLY comes down to is the UI experience. Personally I like Android, and I own a Note 3. I like the customization and the UI of it. I’ve preferred, and will likely still prefer, Android as my mobile OS. Keep in mind that I root my phone and install most robust versions of the ROMs.

I’m not as familiar with the WP OS. I bought a 920 from eBay for fun and to give it a go. From what little I can tell there isn’t as large of an app selection but the WP base is growing with great phones being sold. The UI seems simple but not in a bad way. I’ve worked with a guy that preferred the WP OS over the Android but as I say it’s a personal choice.

Play with both phones and see which is best for you.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneshaq:
Hi,

I've recently formated my SD card from NTFS to EXT4 format, since, neither my pc or phone can detect it or re-format it.

My Note 3 is running CM11, and i've heard it should support EX4 format but it doesn't, i'm actually trying different ROM's to try to detect my SD card but since i've started, none has worked.

do you guys have any clue to help me?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijom:
Check whether shows up in Device Manager in Windows. Never looks like a problem with ROM
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amk19:
It shouldn't be a Rom problem nor Kernel.

Something must be wrong with your sdCard.

Because my Note 3 N9005 detects exFat, Ntfs, Ufs, ext4 and few other format (*After Rooting*) hard drive without any issues.

I am on Stock kernel and Stock recovery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vndnguyen:
Note 3 support Ext4 format for internal partitions only, not for the external sdcard.

Remove your card from the phone and insert it directly to the PC (via Card Reader/Adapter) to reformat it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moneshaq:
The problem is that the SD Card have always worked for now more than a year, using the ExFat FileSystem.

i can't reformat it because windows don't detect it since it's ext4 FileSystem and my linux or Gparted live don't detect it as well. i'm using an external card reader (cheap i recognize it) but it has always worked as well and still work with another SD card or PSP card.

have to say i feel pretty ****ed up since i had my SD card full and my internal memory too all the time :crying:

-------------------------------------

i'm actually using S5 base / Note 4 style Tweaked ROM DEODEXED and it has detected my SD card, the problem is that it is detected as a 0,00 octet card and it can't be formatted, tried the command format with terminal but it isn't available on android.

Welcome to the community...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who isn't sleeping lately ;) .

Congrats on your having the patience to read and study before simply diving into the deep end.

I want to say thank you to all our Rom Chefs as well. I just want to run through the streets skipping and singing.

You guys are so awesome. One day we're wondering if we'll have roms at all, the next day we have WM6, the day after that 5 versions....

How sweet it is......
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] derek.melton@gmail.com:
Agree!

Yes, I have been a long time XDA user, started with a Blue Angel, then went to a Wizard and how I have the Hermes. On all of them, without exception, these forums and the Dev's that make them worthwhile have been essential to me in order to get the most from these devices. My latest device, the Hermes, had HORRIBLE battery life out of the box from Cingular, I'm talking less than a day on normal to light use. After upgrading to first Kyphur's WM6 and now LVSW's WM6 and going to 1.34 radio; my battery lasts about as long as my Wizard's did. Thanks fellas, nice work, you all make our devices what they should be.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lpsi2000:
@kyphur,

Congrats on your soon purchase and I hope all goes well (watchout for last minute changes or details). My heart was hanging until I got the keys, walked out of the lawyer's office, and got in my car. Moving was crazy but not stressfull. Good luck with everything and looking forward to .30.

Thanks again guys.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ionutz6:
although it may seem boring for other readers, I MUST say, as well, thank you from all my heart, not only for allowing us to uncover the inner beauty of these devices, but as well for the opportunity to spend time with you gyus, by reading the forum and trying all the different combinations, softwares, aso.

Its becoming addictive, and for that, Thank You!

Appreciation

Well, I have been sitting here most of the morning reading all of the chaos and hubbub over Black 2.0 and it's decommissioning, and I realize how torn I am.

I was very lucky that after a few days away from the boards that I happened to come back on Tuesday and was actually able to download Black 2.0 before things got crazy. Of course I immediately installed it. It is quite literally PERFECT in my estimation. It installed quickly and Flawlessly and has been Lightning-Fast and Rock-Solid since then. I didn't think it could get any better than it did when I got Black 1.2. I was so ecstatic! I immediately ran to paypal and pumped $15 into your wife's shoe fund, JasJamming. (Us shoe loving women gotta stick together! ;) Yes there are indeed a few of us women hanging around the techie boys.) I have spent the past 2 days literally bouncing off the walls with joy over my now, nearly, Perfect Cingular 8525.

To my shock when I popped in this morning, just to see how everything was going, I saw the horrible news. Though I honestly don't see why there are so many redundant questions on the board, it's not my place to question it either. I simply enjoy looking and learning from all of the other great minds across the world. True Globalization at its finest. How sad it is that in an age when everyone can literally find out anything if they choose, most prefer to simply sit back and let other people do it for them.

Here is where I am torn. On the one hand I understand the frustration you and the other Chefs must feel, Jasjamming. It must be absolutely infuriating to spend so much hard work and a ton of time doing something you really enjoy doing and offering your work up for FREE public consumption, only to then be treated as though you just unleashed the plague. So I can see why you choose to not continue the public advancement of your Black VI build for the Hermes.

On the other side of the coin however, I have found your work to be truly addicting and amazing and am thoroughly annoyed and frustrated that I will no longer be able to have your input and foundations upon which to build my perfect Phone. Truly heartbreaking indeed.

I do hope that one day things settle back down enough that people can once again use theses forums in the spirit they were intended and fun can continue to reign supreme for those who enjoy modding their phones.

In the end, after venting all of this on my keyboard, I realize that it is of course your right and your decision to pull support for Black VI. But I am sad, and your contributions will be sorely missed. I am not sure of the exchange rate between the US and Australia but I hope my little drop in the bucket does get your wife a cute new pair of shoes and that you can still sneak in a cold one with my thanks.

Namaste,

Melanie Boucher

@excessdivide

Jas will be back... things have gotten better, and you havent noticed the redundant posts due to some heavy house cleaning that i have been doing.. things are looking better than just a few days ago.. so just sit tight and enjoy the ride!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RemE:
I'm also new to the forum, found it days after getting my 8525 and it saved me from having to return it. I've been completely fasinated every day with the tweaks and enhancements that continue to roll out. That and the occasional f**kwit floggings delt out keep me comming back for more.

People will plunk down $100 for a Nav prog, $20-50 for any number of simple commercial apps. So dig deep folks into your hearts, if you like this forum and take more from it than you can give (like me, I'm a hardware guy, no programmer), please pop some "buckage" to the Chefs and the Forum. I shot some $$ to JJ for Black2 simply out of respect, this weekend I'll flash to it and if it's as good as I've been reading, I'll be sending what I feel an op system is worth.

I thank all of you for simply taking the time to document what you do, so others like me can share in your world.

shogunmark,

Thank you. I feel I should tell you, it was actually your name that first came up on Google many months ago when I started looking for help with my Cingular 8525. I don't honestly remember the problem which sent me searching but I do remember the advice you posted was dead on and very helpful and had me back up and running in an instant. In essence, you were the one who got me addicted to the crack which is XDA-Developers! ;) LOL!

But again, I do want you and all of the other advanced users to know how much your advice and input is appreciated. If I could, I would donate to all of you guys and fund your efforts completely. Alas, it is not my lot in life to be independently wealthy, so my adoration must suffice. :)

Many Thanks,

Wow, I thought I was the only one! It's good to know other women are interested in modding their phones as well. I have been coming into these forums daily and have really enjoyed reading about all the new updates and tricks and tips. I feel the same way as you about appreciating the rom chefs and other contributors and feel the frustration also of everything else that has been going on here. I can see the housecleaning has been going very well too and that some tempers have settled down and things may be getting back to a more normal environment.

Thanks to all the rom cookers and those that made upgrading much safer and easier.

Funny you should say that since he was also the one who got me to come in here with more interest than I had before that point. For me he had said some really decent stuff on another forum and I wanted to see what more really decent things he had to say here ;) LOL, nice meeting you too! Oh, and I know what you mean by the people around me not understanding why this stuff interests me too.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] bdjace:
Thank you to all the XDA Developers

Usually I just sit back and read but I felt compelled to take a moment to thank everyone who is actually contributing to making the Hermes an even more incredible device then it was to start. There are quite a few whiners that like to come to this forum grab some stuff cram it on the device without doing the research and then complain about it when it doesn't work for them. I for one am very exited that so many people have taken their valuable time to create and tweak for the Hermes. So sound off if you would like to show some appreciation to everyone that has spent their time helping, developing, tweaking, and documenting. And for anyone that is not doing one of the things previously mentioned please read and think before you write.

More Thanks

All of the compliments to the cooks, mods and experts are so well deserved. I have been reading and learning from this site for well over a year now and I have learned so much from reading that I have never had to post a question. I found this site a long time ago when I was trying to figure out how to change the localization on a Korean PDA. I never did get that task accomplished, but I was so amazed by what the developers were doing that I just stuck around and kept learning. Now I only use HTC devices because I know there is a great "read it yourself support site".

Besides my thanks to all the experts, I guess the bottom line of this, my first post, is to let the new folks know that all the information you need is already in these threads, they aren't hard to search, and the confidence you will get from reading up on an upgrade or problem and understanding it before you start making changes makes this hobby a lot more enjoyable. If you fear an upgrade, or don't understand what you are about to do, all you have to do is read first and it will become clear to you.

Hat tip to the mods who had to clean up after the explosion, things are looking up around here again.

Thanks to all!

I have been around here for some time now and have been reading and not posting as I have found the answer to any questions (Mainly in the wiki). The work all of the dev's and cheifs do is great. I am still trying to find out which ROM I like best and I am flashing every couple of days. I am leaning towards Black 2.0 at the moment but am looking forward to WMXL 0.3 to see what kyphur has done in his latest NIGHT of cooking.

any way my point is I want to add my THANKS to the pot for everyone that spends many sleepless nights trying to improve our devices for the better.

Contribution

As a show of respect of a more than part-time partcipant here, I've dug not so deep and popped a donation off for bandwidth to help keep this site alive.

To the chefs, your work is much appreciated (you know who you are).

To the mods, I don't have the patience for dumb questions, but am quite glad you do.

I'm fortunate to be able to contribute knowledge (mostly Exchange) as well as some $$ now and then. If you can afford to, give up a pack of cigs or a six-pack to XDA. It won't kill you, and it actually felt good!

For those less fortunate, learn, search and try to give back to someone who's struggling to find the answer.

Not knowing the answer (ignorance) leads to ignorant questions. I was on this board for several months reading and searching before I even signed up. Then it was probably another month or two before I posted. By then, I had enough background information to sound somewhat intelligent.

If we all take the attitude to learn first, post last, the boards will stay cleaner and the mods and chefs will stay happier.

Hello everybody i have a moto g XT1032 16 gb, bought on amazon. after unlocking bootloader and rooting my device, i used a guide on youtube (Convert Moto G (XT1032) to a Google Play Edition) to try the gp edition .... i updated to kitkat 4.4.4 and after that i received the update to lollipop 5.0.1, i updated it but now my device is stuck on bootloop

please someone help me!!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobDiaz:
Can you give us more details?

Like if this is really a bootloop (in wich you would see that white image with an exclamation mark for a loooong time) or if you just can't switch your phone on?

I've read about it and, in a situation like yours, the phone usually bricks...

______________________________________

Edit:

When it happened to me, I did the following:

Download and execute the .bat of this topic after installing the phone drivers.

http://xdaforums.com/moto-g/general/guide-xt1033-downgrade-lollipop-5-0-to-t2969729

After this, my phone went to the GPE but it could not flash an stock rom. Than, I did this:

xdaforums.com/ moto-g/general/guide-moto-g-xt1033-android-5-0-lollipop-t2979623

Follow this steps exactly the way its written and it should work.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stechiocca:
Thanks for your reply, basically is stuck on the boot with the google logo and a lock unlocked that i think it's for the unlocked bootloader..And when I power off the device by pressing for a long time the power button, after 2/3 seconds it reboot automatically....

now i'll try with the guides you gave me! I hope it will works

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: I did execute the .bat file and it did work! Thank you so much! now,i can't understand the second link you gave me... do i have to do that process' or it's fine like this? and now if I download the lollipop update, am i supposed to have the same problem?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobDiaz:
When you say "it work", did you mean that you can boot normally or that you can flash any rom that you wish? Or you didn't try that? The second link helped me because I couldn't flash any rom except GPE's (the partition table of these are different). If you wish to revert to your stock rom, you'll need to do as the second tutorial said.

I am now with an 5.0.1 Lollipop running well.

Please, give-me a feedback of your situation.

:good:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stechiocca:
So, first of all, now I can only boot normally and use it as gpe 4.4.4... This morning I received the lollipo 5.0.1 update, I did it but when it was at half of the installation, it stopped and there was the little android with an "ERROR" message.. if you want I can attach a photo with the error, so you may know how to solve (I did it when I had the stock recovery)... Now I tried to flash a ROM, so I put the CWM and rebooted into recovery, but when I tried ti install zip from SD card it said me "error: can't mount /sdcard" (I had this problem already when I used the guide to convert into gpe) So now what I have to do? I would like to try Lollipop, and I would like also to be able to flash any rom whenever I want!

--------------------------------

Edit: I just attached a photo of the problem so may be you can understand what happens!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobDiaz:
So, like I said above... Just follow the second link.

The first one give you a temporary solution. It main objective is restore the capacity of mounting the partitions and booting into /system.

The second one open your horizons again, letting you decide which rom you will install. Just follow this and you'll can feel the sweetness of the Lollipop! ;)

DO NOT try to install ANY actualizations over the TEMPORARY GPE edition. If you want do go back to GPE, do the second tutorial before.

Gimme your feedback and click ThankYou if it was usefull!
