My retail Verizon store reps are a bunch of stupid ****in **** suckers, I'm solo pissed

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

Yeah I already know how to do that. That's not my issue. I don't have a device to activate my new micro Sim card.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooofest:
That was my issue in the thread referenced - after failing to get beyond the website, people on the phone (including Tech Support) and people in the store, I obtained someone's Moto X in order to activate the nano SIM on my line and then swapped it to the Nexus 6. The other option was to wait until Verizon recognizes the phone (hopefully soon), but I decided to do it early because their SIM activation process is more of a hassle than it needs to be and wanted to thwart Verizons controls, in just this little way :) .

And yet, some folks - especially towards the current end of that topic - have been saying that they found friendly and helpful Representatives who helped them activate directly with the Nexus 6. I don't know how that was accomplished due to the system checks in place, though.

Finding someone who can lend a phone just to activate the SIM on your line might be a consideration.

Iv asked everyone that I know if they had a Verizon 4g unactivated phone I could use to activate my Sim with and no luck. Just to be sure the phone that I need to borrow needs to be unactivated meaning if its already activated then it won't work right?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooofest:
Hm, someone else might know better than I would, but I've moved phones temporarily off an active line - replacing them with an older 3G backup phone with completely different SIM - in order to use the newly freed phone to activate my new SIM on another line on behalf of a different phone. Then I just reactivate the 4G phone back on its original line after putting its original SIM back in.

For the Nexus 6, I still have the Moto X on hand from the nano SIM activation and it no longer shows up in my account for the line - instead, I get that "unrecognized" phone message from Verizon with no picture. For all I know, this Moto X is no longer considered active on my line or in this account, so might work for your line activation purposes if you're in the NY metro region, actually. PM if interested.

I live in KY,I really do appreciate the offer I would take u up on it if I lived close by were I could meet up with ya and activate my Sim then hand you back the device. It will probably take me a week or so to activate a Sim because my local Verizon store reps are assholes.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadedNature:
Same Issue Today

My finance saw Verizon cutting the data plan by $10's so she jumped on it and kicked my phone off the Verizon network in the process. Had to go to the Verizon store and get the guy to grab a return phone, program said SIM and pop it into a phone. Too bad my backup phone doesn't take the small SIMS...

So, i have just purchased an unlocked brand new I9005 in my country (Romania), and i was surprised that it came with 4.4.2 out of the box. As i saw from gsmarena, for my country android L is available, i checked the sammobile site, and it's true, for romania there is a version of android L for i9005, but it's Vodafone branded. If i flash that firmware with odin:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moseso:
I've had my N5 since Nov. 2013 -- running stock 4.4.4, rooted. I've never had a battery problem, until last Sunday.

Thinking some update or another had changed things, I restored a week-old Nandroid and did not update anything from that state.

I recharged the phone and let it sit on my desk. In 1hr. 40min. battery is down to 75%

Google Play Services has gone crazy. It's kept the phone awake for 1hr. 16min. of the time since I took it off the charger.

What has changed? How can I turn it off? I can't even get a day of idling the phone at this rate -- much less actually use it.

Any suggestions appreciated -- and, yes I did Google first, but nothing really helped...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Settings -> Accounts

Remove your Google account

Settings -> Apps -> Google Play services

Clear cache & data

Reboot to recovery, clear cache partition and dalvik cache.

Reboot and add your Google Account again :)

Did you use the Disable Service app by any chance?

Thank you! Tried it. Won't know, for a while if it works, or not -- but I'll check in later, and let you know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moseso:
No.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Okay, much luck! I guess that some background service accidentially stored corrupt data and thus doesn't stop syncing or something like that :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moseso:
It's only been a short time, but, this doesn't seem to have turned the trick. Phone is still very warm to the touch. Battery is dropping like a rock -- about 10% in 5 minutes -- and Google services is adding wakelocks and awake time at an alarming rate.

Does this pic give you any useful info?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moseso:
It took me a couple more tries to get it, but I did get my phone back to normal. What worked, in the end, was:

Settings-> Apps -> Google Services -> clear data

Settings -> Apps -> Google Search -> clear data

Reboot to recovery -> clear cache & Dalvik

Reboot.

Thanks to all who replied / helped!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Thanks for letting us know. I think the general storage cache clear is what tends to fix this. I have resolved it myself using Settings > Storage > Cached data and rebooting.

Hello my friends,

now it happened to me. My OPO bricked after I installed the ColorOS port. I wanted to restart it after a succesful installation of the 2.06 port in TWRP. Now it doesn't start, neither gets recognized by windows as QHSUSB or something like that. Any ideas what I can do? It doesn't vibrate even if I hold the power button for 2 minutes.

Please help!

Thanks in advance,

To follow these instructions the device has to be recognized by the pc, which in my special case isn't.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] harry6:
I have a Data only account on my Galaxy S3 through Sprint MVNO Freedompop.

If I try to make a voice call through the native dialer - I get an error message from Sprint saying that calls to that number are not supported.

Sprint does not recognize me as having a voice account.

Freedompop, my data only MVNO, provides voice calling through their VOIP app, but the VOIP app works poorly when the data connection is slow.

Since I have no voice service on Sprint, is it possible to have a second Sprint MVNO at the same time on the same phone to provide voice only?

In other words, to get only data through my Freedompop account, and voice only through the other MVNO.

At present, my GS3 has a rooted stock kitkat rom.

Thanks so much for considering my question...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
I don't think you'll be able to do that because that would mean you would have the same device on two different activated account.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] harry6:
Mattzeller, Thank you for responding! It is for the very reason that one MVNO for and data and another for voice would mean having the same device on two different activated accounts that I am asking whether it is somehow possible.

The reason I wonder if it it might be possible is because each account would be for a service that is not activated on the other account - thus no overlap.

So I wondered if there might be a way to "trick" the phone/ sprint into using the appropriate setup to connect with right apns for voice when voice calling, and using a different set for the data connections.

I know it's a very noob question that reflects my lack of understanding about how accounts are registered to the provider.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
It's doubtful, because it's not activated by what services it has, but by its unique MEID.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] harry6:
Thanks!

Thank you again for taking the time to reply mattzeller..... I do appreciate it very much!

[Q] "Android is Upgrading" after full wipe and install Lollipop ROM - Normal?

I've noticed that after doing a Full Wipe of the phone and installing any lollipop-based ROM, on first boot-up i get the 'Android is Updating" screen pop up for a couple of minutes - the one that if you usually get if doing a dirty-flash, or wiping the Dalvik and rebooting.

It sits there 'Optimizing Apps' for a couple of minutes, and then boots normally. The amount of apps it 'optimizes' is about the number of apps i had installed before i did the wipe.

Is this normal? Why is it happening, and is there anyway I can 'properly' wipe the phone so that it doesn't remember whatever it is that its optimizing?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
That's normal because System needs to rebuild each app profiles after wipe
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SelfDestructPro:
For lack of a better place to put this, I decided the Android Q/A was probably best. Anyway I'll get straight to the point. I'm attempting to create an HMD using an old Android phone. The problem is, even on a local network, all of the possible Remote Desktop apps seem to have unbearable lag. I cannot fix my network. I'm using Powerline Adapters. I put a WiFi router directly in the room I want to use the phone as an HMD and I've got a direct connection to the main router via Powerline on my PC. It's really as good as it's going to get. And yet I have noticeable lag even just moving my mouse around. So I don't really want suggestions on how to get wireless working better.

What I really want is a true one to one display. Almost like the phone is acting as a secondary monitor to my PC. So whatever my PC is displaying, my android shows with zero lag. That means directly connecting the device I'd imagine. The problem is, EVERY single possible way of wording this in my research seems to provide the exact opposite results of what I'm looking for. Google loves doing that to me. I say "Use Android as PC Monitor" and I get "How to display your Android on your PC monitor". That's just one example of the many different ways I got those same exact results.

So anyway, I would appreciate any direction someone could give me to figure this out. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SelfDestructPro:
As an update, I just wanted to say I've found two apps that seem to do what I want, but they seem a little iffy. The first Twomon USB - USB Monitor, claims it does precisely what I want. However, the reviews are mixed with some saying it doesn't work. I'd rather not spend almost $10 on something iffy. I'd rather read things like "It connected with no problems and there's NO LAG."

Then the other one is ExtDisplay extend via Wifi/USB. This time it has a free version ExtDisplay Extend PC Display, but I hesitate to try it because of it doesn't have good reviews. I guess I'll try it and come back to this, but I just figured I'd give a little more details on what I'm looking for. These apps claim to be exactly what I'm looking for. Just don't seem to deliver.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SelfDestructPro:
I ended up switching over to a program I'm sure all have heard by now. Trinus Gyre. Well now it's called TrinusVR. At any rate, it worked very well for a while, but my android phone's display is terrible. Trying to play anything is extremely pixelated to the point that I can't read text. I have however been looking out for a program with the same functionality for my iPhone because it has a much higher resolution. I did find one called KinoConsole. It works great and while currently I will use it from time to time for movies, I still can't really use it for gaming because again, text isn't easy to read. At this point I'm just holding out for a professional headset that won't break the bank. I kinda have my heart set on PlaystationVR because of the specs, but still don't know how much they're going to try to sell this thing for.

But, if you're still set on using an Android device, definitely try out TrinusVR. It's worth the money especially if you have a decent resolution.

:confused:I apologize for newbie confusion - i am trying to understand - but not finding anything step by step with Sprint Samsung note 3 NK4 4.4.4 version - or anything step by step in the past month.

Here is why i want to root :mad:

1. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM:my phone keeps telling me i'm about out of storage and my spotify downloads keep getting lost - prior to some update - i was able to put spotify cache on external 64gb . but now - it is on the 32GB internal- my spotify is about that huge - 32gb - i don't get sprint everywhere so important. and it won't move (i've downloaded file moving apps - none work for kitkat 4.4.4) I have 96gb of space on my phone ! I have enough room ! why did developers make external drive so difficult to use ?!?!?!??!?!!?!??!?!? :(

2. I had the non root modification for free hotspot working back in august/September - again - an update and it no longer works - not as important as number 1. but was nice - i pay $100/month for unlimited plan - i don't want to pay for the occasional use as hotspot for ipad

My PROBLEM: :confused::confused::confused::confused:

trying to go through this forum - or to begin to root - my first problem - I have a Mac computer (though access to windows) i've bricked a router - i really don't want to soft or otherwise brick or Trip Knox on:mad: my phone - I want to be able to upgrade if i stay w/ sprint - and don't want to void any warranties

I can't find Specific NOTE 3 4.4.4 NK4 root information - when i search forum it is for the Galaxy S5 .

i am not understanding odexed and deodexed ? -

most all i read is for Nh7 - ?! and NH7 seems to go w/ 4.4.3 or 4.4.2 not 4.4.4

I just want to be sure i do the right thing for my specific phone - would really like to NOT trip knox - would love a one download step - and for it to work - i'm not a programmer - i know just enough to get me in a lot of trouble - so the step by step w/ my specifics so i know it actually worked as i follow steps of someone else.

i would prefer not to root - but the storage thing is really driving me nuts. if you know of a simpler route to make phone use storage like RAID - would be great - but everything on play store is for rooted devices. thank you for patience in helping me.:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
All I can give is info, first no free hotspot/or WiFi tether without a rooted phone. Second, there is NO rooting process for 4.4.4 NK4 that will NOT trip KNOX, as yet. The only option available to you is to downgrade your phone to the version of KitKat 4.4.2 NC5. Then you can use the TowelRoot app and root your device WITHOUT tripping KNOX. Once rooted this will give you the ability to run WiFi Tether Router app ( what I use ) to run internet for my PC.

As for your not being able to write spotify to external storage, there was an update that stopped us from doing this. Here is an app that fixes the problem http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2684188 however again it requires a rooted device.

Since your spotify file is so big, the cache in the device can't process/move it all at once. Is there a way to create a new spotify folder on your on your Mac/ PC, then move small amounts of spotify to you computer till it is all there. Then create a new folder on your device where you want spotify to be, and move small amounts back to the new folder. ( you should be able to do this via your charging cable connected to your computer, once the auto play comes up, choose to view files, then create a new spotify folder in either the internal sd card music folder or on the external sd card create a music folder then inside that create a new spotify folder ). Then move it back in small amounts, you can do this without being rooted.

Now restart your phone and the new folder will show up. Here is my thread for more info http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/general/samsung-note-3-rom-flashin-basics-t2896440 Enjoy !!!
