[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmericannomad:
Okay, so not sure what I did here.

I have an LG G2 ATT version with 4.2.2 installed.

I was trying to install CM, which I already have on my Nexus 7 and love. But the LG G2 doesn't have a nice one-click install app like the Nexus 7 does.

So, I managed to root it, and got SuperUser installed and Clockworkrecoverymod.

At one point I also had TWRP installed, and I think that is where I went wrong. I went to flash a new fastboot / recovery mode and think I selected the wrong one (LG G2 International).

Ever since then, attempting to reboot into recovery using the hardware method (volume down + power) doesn't work. If i force it into fastboot mode using Clockworkrecoverymod or ioroot, I get a strange message.

All the phone shows is white text on a black background:

[830] Fastboot mode started

[940] -- rest --

[950] fastboot; processing commands

then, if i unplug the USB port, I get a few messages. If I replug it in, I get the above message again, with different time stamps.

If I boot normally, it pulls up the normal stock OS, but any attempt to boot into fast mode gets me this message. I can also boot into download mode, but it hangs at 0 %. I tried Flashing a new Recovery using clockworkmod, and it says it worked, but booting into recovery just results in ending up in the same Fastboot mode deadend.

I see the same message if I try to factory reset the phone through the normal software method in options.

So, it is great that I didn't completely brick my phone when I idiotically installed for the wrong mode, but without being able to get into fastboot mode, what are my options for getting back on there and back to stock so I can try again?

And yes, I tried to make a backup on my device, but when I went to go back to it, clockworkmod said it isn't there. Not sure how I messed that up, but anyone have any suggestions on what I can do going forward?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
As I understand; If you're trying to boot it to recovery mode, it goes to fastboot mode, right?

If I understood right; you need just flash recovery to your device.

G2 has a different boot process from other devices. If bootloader failed to boot the thing you want to boot, it goes to fastboot mode. That's why it goes fastboot mode when you try to boot it to recovery.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAmericannomad:
Ah yeah, i just couldn't figure out how to get it out of Fastmode. I was a little confused about the difference between fastmode and recovery.

I seemed to have fixed the problem by AutoRec, for whatever that is worth. Now it boots into TWRP's recovery mode. Shouldn't be hard to get cyanogenmod now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladmir:
if you want go back to stock and you can't enter in download mode you can try follow this but USE THE CORRECT FILES FOR YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!!!

I'm buying new battery via Ebay (I would like to order it from EU). Any good and cheep links?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] smeddy:
Always a fan of the MPJ ones. "MPJ note 3" should bring them up on ebay.

Around 10-20% more life than the stock, a lot cheaper, and in my experience over 3 years, no major drop in efficiency over time.

I also like their 8000mah extended battery.

People also like the Mugen ones, but they're pricey, and naturally official ones are great, if you find a good deal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] M-XXXX:
Mugen is overpriced yes...

Hm I'm lookig at MJP ones but they are not cheap either.... On ebay for about 25$.. any cheaper alternatives?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] steve_togo:
Would you know how good are these with NFC and also QI wireless charging?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] smeddy:
I cant answer on NFC (but will endeavour to check).

Funnily enough I've spent the last month trying to find a QI add on that will work with the battery, but none of them are flexible enough to work around for the battery, so that's a no go I'm afraid. If I was better with solders and copper wire it would be a doable, but there's no easy answer in that I'm afraid.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] petryrety:

this is the best battery i ever found for Note 2/3 and the prize is very good.

The latest WhatsApp feature is generating a lot of duplicate threads on XDA, drowning other threads in the process. Many are also posted in the wrong section. We're closing down all invite threads to keep the clutter down to a minimum. Instead, please use The Consolidated WhatsApp Calling Thread as a consolidated thread for all discussions related to the WhatsApp calling feature and invites. Thank you!​

Hi folks,

As we saw last days , a fellow guy here discovered a hidden activity in whatsapp that has calling feature.

even if you didn't get an invitation for the feature you still can get this hidden activity and amaze your friends

or maybe you will be a lucky 5.0 lollipop user that gets an invitation

**This method is not like the old ones at all**

**This method makes the calls activity your home of whatsapp forever**

By editing AndroidManifest.xml of whatsapp

Requirements:

Latest Whatsapp apk

ApkTool (HERE)

Basic knowledge of decomipling

Basic knowlegde of editing xml files

notepad++

Steps :

Decompile whatsapp

open AndroidManifest.xml

search for :

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode" android:hardwareAccelerated="false" android:name="com.whatsapp.Main">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.MULTIWINDOW_LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

change it to :

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode" android:hardwareAccelerated="false" android:name="com.whatsapp.Main"/>

Then search for this line

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode" android:label="@string/app_name" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name="com.whatsapp.HomeActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.App.Home"/>

change to :

<activity android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode" android:label="@string/app_name" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:name="com.whatsapp.HomeActivity" android:theme="@style/Theme.App.Home">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.MULTIWINDOW_LAUNCHER"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>

Now compile and sign

Uninstall the old whatsapp

Install the modified one

Voila !

**If you are lazy a modified version is available HERE (Thanks [MENTION=6393840]Uncertified Robot[/MENTION])**​

[Android General] sumeetchopra89:
Screenshot please
[Android General] luisfl97:
Went through this method on my Moto X. What I have to say is:

1) Strangely, it didn't make "Calls" the home of my whatsapp. The home is still chats.

2) Nevertheless, now, there are three tabs that appear on top of the app. CALLS / CHATS / CONTACTS

3) When I click the calls tab, it shows a phone button on top, where it usually is the "New Chat" button, and clicking it would let me make a call, but it doesn't show any contacts, not even my friends with iPhones who got the call button already.

4) I've tried to force stop the app a few times already and the calling contact list is still empty.

5) I'm on Kit Kat, so I don't know if it's because it's not Lollipop.

tl;dr: I can confirm this method makes the Call menu accessible, but I don't know if it works, because the calling contact list is empty.
[Android General] android.zealot.fervor:
Awesome job :)
[Android General] naresh9:
confused

If WhatsApp block :confused: bcus of modified version
[Android General] mosabajaj:
i found somewhere that to enable whatsapp call just past this code

su
am start -n
com.whatsapp/com.whatsapp.HomeActivity

to Terminal Emulator and it will enable it.

is this will work?
[Android General] muhammadsultan:
Can you pls uploade file
[Android General] trax2:
thanx for hardwork

can you put here modified apk pls .........because im still folk to do this . REGARDS:p
[Android General] Ecchii:
Yeah that works but the call feature disappears after a while, so you keep needing to input that code, which is really annoying.
[Android General] EasyGoingXD:
Please uploaded the modded apk :)
[Android General] t3chg33k:
It works to the extent of enabling the 3 tab interface including the 'Calls' tab, but none of the contacts are available for making a voice call. So, the entire act is kind of pointless at this moment.
[Android General] androiduser44:
modded apk would be nice :)
[Android General] mosabajaj:
even if you do it in 2 phones?

maybe no contact available because all of your contacts haven't this feature
[Android General] wesam.j.b:
I'll upload a modded apk tomorrow

Just wait. .​
[Android General] priyam basak:
But i got the calling feature ?
[Android General] AppsAndroidMx:
STEPS:-

1- Install the latest apk (Of course)

2- Open any root explorer (es file explorer preferred ) and navigate to /data/data/com.whatsapp/shared_prefs/com.whatsapp_preferences.xml

3- Add these 2 lines anywhere in the file but within the <map></map> and save

<boolean name="call" value="true" />

<string name="call_allowed">all</string>

4- Then go to Settings/Apps/Whatsapp and force stop it !

Open the app again (duh!)

You have now enabled calls !!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!
[Android General] rgshah3:
Can you please share your shared pref file? Want to see if I can do anything to activate it
[Android General] priyam basak:
It is server side feature for now.

You can enable the calling UI by adding some codes but will not be able to Call anyone over voip.
[Android General] rgshah3:
If you can share it, want to try something
[Android General] joeben1:
If this method does not work, check the file com.whatsapp_preferences.xml for the entry

<boolean name="call" value="false" />

You need to delete this entry and add the new lines.

A new trick

Those who got the calling UI by modification of .xml files ask your friends who got calling feature to call you and receive the call

Then force close whatsapp and open again.

This trick worked for a few but you can try atleast.

[Android General] farhannadaf:
Whatsapp v2.11.531 out but no gross changes seen (no call)
[Android General] gurudev32:
Being aware that calling is still a SERVER END ENABLING feature, I still keep the tab enabled by xml tweaking.

One thing I noticed in recent compilation (131) of whatsapp is that they have further restricted the versions of whatsapp which would support calling feature.

In simple, now I see less numbers in call contact list than earlier versions.
[Android General] priyam basak:
UPDATE: whatsapp call feature is down 'YES IT IS DOWN FOR SOME REASONS' we, those who have the feature already now can't place call via WhatsApp over voip.
[Android General] gurudev32:

To be on 528/530/531 is a must now, so just asking...
