[General Questions and Answers] frank604:
First of all, slims rom you close all recent app by pinching it. There is no button. Also, with gcm push abilities, apps like Facebook and whatsapp saves battery by hibernating and using greenify to act as a proxy when a push notification comes in. Google gcm greenify for more details. It isn't about the battery loss in restarting an app but rather what that app is doing while on in the background. Hope that makes sense.
[General Questions and Answers] ebertshay:
Thanks for the response, I'll have to research a little to wrap my head around it entirely, but I think I understand. Just for reference though, here is the link to the slimrom thing I mentioned:

http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/414-will-you-add-the-kill-all-in-recents
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
I use LiquidSmooth, which is based on SlimKat, and the pinch to kill all works on it. That said, it really is better to simply kill only the apps you don't want running in the background. If you keep killing apps you frequently use, your phone has to re-load them from storage each time, which takes time, processing power, and battery juice.

Similarly, Greenify is indeed best used to hibernate apps that you don't want running in the background. For example, frequently use Facebook, Words with Friends, Wikipedia, Dolphin, RealCalc, etc. I want to keep these running. Other apps, like the T-Mobile account app, or my banking app, I don't want/need running constantly in the background, so they get Greenified.

Another way to go about this is to use a task killer like Clean Master, but whitelist apps you frequently use.

I looked around for a bit, but couldn't find any solid answers to this. If a Verizon Note 3 is on this version of Android, is it rootable?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirBindy:
Yes, 4.4.2 is rootable with TowelRoot. 4.4.4 is not, currently.

This is correct.
[Sprint LG G3] Ducalion:
Hi guys,

I spent a lot of time trying to do this and would like to share my SUCCESSFUL efforts with you all!

First let me clarify some of the terminology. Sprint and other carriers program their hardware EPROM to their network specs and lock access to it. This lock is called the MSL code!!! [Master Software Lock?? :-p]. You would need this code if you want to make any changes to it.

Electronically Programmable Non Volatile (ie a fixed value chip)ROM which is also called NV Rom (NV in short) is where the carrier customization are stored and read from when the phone boots up. The unlock process changes the carrier data to be read from a SIM card instead of from programmed NV. Also note that CDMA or GSM SIMs are actually called RUIMs in the tech world (<--Wiki this). Something I learnt the hard way...

Second, this is not rom flashing (i.e putting another OS on your phone's SSD card and updating the boot records). You will be programming the phone and if you mess up mommy wouldn't be able to help you :). There would be noway to unbrick your phone so check your USB cable (most common culprit) virus scanners running on your PC etc etc.. before you try this.

Please thank Vinod Nayak at Rimweb for putting this all together for us. I am in Tokyo and have followed these guides to successfully unlock my Sprint LS990 to work on AU by KDDI (albeit only with 3G speed). So if you are still reading get a cup of coffee and head on to the sites below and read on. Please note you may need to register on their forum to see the screen caps (recommended).

You need the MSL code to reprogram your phone. Follow this guide to obtain it first and keep handy.

http://www.rimweb.in/forums/topic/37104-lg-g3-sprint-ls990-cdmagsm/

There were other guides found on XDA that will find your phone's MSL code. Once you have this go to the next step below..

UPDATE:

I updated to CM12 based ROM 10 mins back and data works without any APN setting!!!
[Sprint LG G3] sd_N:
so...???

So, this will allow me to take my Sprint LS990 to Verizon?
[Sprint LG G3] Ducalion:
If you get a sim/ruim from VZ I think you should me able to. Try it and share your experience.....
[Sprint LG G3] Kyusaku:
If I do this will my Sprint service stop working until I change back to NV_Only?
[Sprint LG G3] Ducalion:
You can select RUIM Preffered setting instead of ruim only. That should allow the phone to default back when a ruim is not present in the slot. This is what I actually did.
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
This seems to be the closest thing we have to a proper carrier unlock, especially if the RUIM preferred option sticks and allows continued function on Sprint (if desired). There's a thread in another form (can't remember where) that has a method for unlocking all the phones radio bands. These 2 things combined could make a true world phone, increasing the dollar value and function.

I jacked around with DFS on my old LGOG with an embedded SIM and no bootloops, although RUIM preferred wouldn't stick, it gave me a chance to look around. Has anyone successfully unlocked their G3 to use a SIM or any CDMA carrier with this method?

I'm not ready to pull the trigger on it but am thinking about picking up a used G2 to mess around with and see what I can do.
[Sprint LG G3] treezy26:
So with this method we will be able to flash any ls990 ROM and still have data?
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
It's still an LS990 at the end of the day so I think there needs to be some built in ROM compatibility.
[Sprint LG G3] treezy26:
Will this method improve my signal? I'm currently on gsm by way of build prop method.
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
I don't know about that. I think you're looking for a corporate PRL which allows faster speeds when roaming. I'm looking for someone who is in the US and still on Sprint but tested the RUIM preferred method with other SIMs and back to Sprint domestically to see if it works forward and backwards.
[Sprint LG G3] 1619415:
Make a cm 12 guide and I will try
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
Just curious...Why would a CM12 guide matter? Are you not able to set Diagnostic ##3424# in CM?
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
Anyone who is currently on Sprint try the RUIM PREFERRED setup? Curious if we can just go ahead and set it up and swap SIMS from Sprint to other at our leisure.
[Sprint LG G3] iancarnation:
I'm wanting to try this with Ting (since it's BYOD blacklisted until August), but I'm curious about the "only 3G" issue the OP had. It wouldn't be so bad, but it would be nice to be able to revert back once August rolls around to get on the 4G. So my question is:

- Does this process change things that can be backed up / undone? (I'm guessing not, but would love to be wrong)

Incidentally, Ting is rolling out GSM support as we speak, so I may try to go that route first, though I think I might only get Edge speeds...
[Sprint LG G3] MikeDroid:
3G issues (LTE not working) might have something to do with the bands. Unlocking more radio bands on the qual comm is another process that is documented in other forums. Very detailed and you don't want to mess up.

Here's something

Interesting, thanks for the tip. It does look a bit scary, haha -- we'll see if I get to that point. I posted a question on the forum the OP was referencing about the possibility of undoing / reverting to a backup after doing that process. I'll post here if I find out elsewhere.
[Sprint LG G3] Almith_:
I've got everything working on the stock rom using this method with my AT&T sim. (However, I have RUIM only enabled) But I can't seem to get cm12 working. Radio acts like it wants to work, but it's very slow with sms, and the dialer doesn't work at all.

I have my "Preferred network type" set to "Global." I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how you have CM12 working. Also, I've tried a couple other compatible ROMs. Do you have any other information on what you did to get it working?

Any luck switching CDMA carriers? Wanting to use G3 on virgin, already had HTC 816 (but I want more POWER).
[Sprint LG G3] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
The second link is the important one... The first one just tells you how to get your MSL.

Also AFAIK to use a sprint phone on another CDMA carrier (virgin,boost) you need to change the imei, meid, and esn. Which we are not allowed to discuss how to do here.

P.S. why do you use virgin mobile instead of boost? Virgin and Boost are pretty much the same but virgin is more expensive as far as I can tell.
[Sprint LG G3] HasH_BrowN:
I have the $35 plan, which they bumped me to unlimited minutes. I've been with them since 2012. The HTC 816 ($149), but if I can get the MSL I want to try a LG G3 32gb ($179). If I can't then after Christmas I'll switch services.

So I guess I'll have dig in some nefarious places to get the other needed info to switch carriers.

Lg ls980zvi

hi vinod ji,

I have seen your precious inputs in XDA developers.com and riweb.

really thankful to you.

I have LG LS980 sprint phone and its works fine since 2 years with GSM network. It's already installed SuperSU.

Now I want to use it with Reliance CDMA network so I have followed your instruction of NV to RUIM conversion. After doing this its work but after one call network is disabled and I need to restart it.

I have tried to disable bloated apps from sprint but not succeed. after reboot my phone shows Hand free activation message continuously.

I tried to root it also but I think its already rooted for GSM and because of that it is not going to root. Also I want to inform you I updated my phone with lollipop version.

Please give me proper instruction so I can use my phone with CDMA as well as GSM network.

I am waiting for your reply. you are only one who can help me out of this.

Thanks & Regards:

Hi

I have LG ls990 sprint and i called sprint and they unlocked it so i can use it at morocco with any carrier.

But it doesn't acknowledge my morocco sim card .plz can you help
[Sprint LG G3] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
they probably unlocked it for GSM
[Sprint LG G3] yumax131:
CDMA or GSM

To unlock your LS990 to any CDMA and GSM you need:

1. Get root;

2. Unlock GSM with the script (if you don't need GSM it brings working "Roaming" folder with working APNs);

3. Type ##4324# in the dial pad and enable diag mode, connect your phone to PC, use CdmaDevTerm to find out your SPC/MSL code:

4. Use DFS Cdma Tool to activate RUIM Only option:

5. Use DFS Cdma Tool to unlock data on CDMA (you need to zero NV-Item 39939):

Reboot the phone and check it, NV-Item 39939 should be "0"

6. You can unlock data on CDMA another way, useshortcutmaster application to find hidden "com.lge.sprinthiddenmenu.iot.datasettings" process, launch it and set "ppp carrier" to "undetermined":

7. Insert your RUIM or SIM, choose the type of the network in the settings and create the apn if needed!

CDMA+GSM

1. Repeat all the items besides the 4 one, you should left NV-Only option;

2. To use CDMA you should get and write next parameters into NV:

Phone #

MIN

Chapss (password)

Akey

PRL

SID/NID

3. Insert SIM card, create the APN for CDMA (use mcc/mnc from your GSM SIM)

4. Simply switch gsm or cdma mode in the settings:

[Sprint LG G3] AndroidNazi:
Thanks much for this guide, I had to zero the 39939 in NV about 20 times before it finally stuck on reboot, now my phone uses a sim card.

Oh well that will teach me for playing, i have an xda mini s on 02 which was happily running the MB custom rom, i had to use shell tool to do this as it's a G4 device, i have done this twice now with no problems at all.

So i thought i would try a newer rom version

Which is posted half way down on this page http://ppcwarez.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=18670&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

I used the same process as before, but instead of taking 10 -11 mins to update only the os, it finshed in 1 min because i got the activesync disconnect noise.

So i dont know what to do now ? if i turn it on it just sits at the blue 02 screen with all the ipl and spl and radio versions, obviously there is no os on there now.

How do i fix this please ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks..... :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] mfrazzz:
Please provide your current IPL and SPL to help us here, but based on what you are saying you need to put your phone into the bootloader screen (hold down the camera button while you turn it on, and get to teh "rainbow" screen). Then you can flash your carrier's official ROM onto your phone. Once you've done that, you should be good to go to play again.

Note, Activesync will NOT connect while you are in the bootloader screen, but you can still flash the official rom this way (do NOT try to flash a custom ROM, only an official one).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] corky:
Ok many thanks for the quick reply, i did get the official rom but did not know about getting into bootloader and flashing it that way.

I have put it back to default 02 rom now, and i will make sure i do not flash a custom rom this way, good tip.

I am off now to flash again this custom rom and try again.

I currently have a white N9 16gb with moderate light bleed and volume buttons aren't the best but the back is good. It bugs me cause i would rather have the volume buttons work cause double tap to wake and my sleep/wake case means i can do with a bad power button. Light bleed isn't horrible but noticeable. So I am gonna just return it and try to get a 32GB. I came across the warehouse deals for the N9 on Amazon and its $380 for the 32GB plus 10% off. I'm really tempted to do that. I'll get it for same price as I got the 16GB. The condition says used but very good. Do you think the chances are I get a bad unit? Are they refurbished in any way you think? Or am I better off getting a new one?
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3mncln3r:
Full disclosure: the only knowledge I am basing my opinion on is from posts and discussions in various threads on this site, plus my own experience.

I think the chances are high you'll get one that has the "bad" power button and light bleed. Some users have reported that Amazon is no longer considering light bleed a defect because of so many RMA's. This is a warehouse deal, meaning it probably consists of all the old (bad) stock that people are returning.

However, $380 - 10% is a really good deal, so if you can live with the so-called defects, than go for it. You might even get lucky and get a gem. Personally I wouldn't do it, even for that price, because I really don't want to deal with those issues.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Infamous512:

N9 White 32GB...

Just picked up a white 32GB N9 from Amazon Warehouse for $250. With all the unfavorable reviews I was going to pass on the N9 after owning N4, N5, & N7. Couldn't justify the $479 price. Especially when my N7 runs great with lollipop.

At $250 the N9 is a good value. After the 5.01 update and a factory reset, the device is performing well. Just a word of advice when setting up the device, set it up as new and don't restore from a backup. Everytime I restore from backup I have issues.

My biggest complaint with the N9 at the moment is the weight. It is significantly heavier than the N7.
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:

This second "like new" N9 is in perfect physical condition, but I'm having several problems: The auto-wake/auto-sleep doesn't work with the case (the case worked great on the other N9), and now I'm discovering auto-rotation issues.
