Lately from the past 2-3 days I am getting some really annoying pop up ads which almost render the site unusable.the moment I click a link to a forum one these crappy ads come up with no option to dismiss and before u know it I am taken to their webpage.I thought xda had some amount of decency when it comes to earning revenue but the latest ads are making me look for substitutes for this site .please disable the pop up ads at least .u already have ads between posts and to the right of the screen always but the new pop ups r really hard to put up with:mad:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobile88:
My phone suddenly shutdown while browsing. I was on CM12 build 19feb w Franco kernel. Restarting it only lead to auto shutdown after bootup. I install another rom Temasik n similar - phone bootup successfully n than shutdown. Than I tried restoring from 2 rom backup n also later flash back original firmware - in all scenarios phone bootup successfully but goes into auto shutdown mode. Appreciate any help on this. Phone now cannot be used
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAW_JOK3R:
Force shutdown is a stock firmware's issue, not of custom ROMs. You're the first one(in my knowledge) who is reporting about this. Can you give a try by flashing stock firmware? :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobile88:
As said I did tried flashing back stock firmware from Google and after successful bootup it immediately shut down. Thereafter I flash another kernel Franco n similar result too. I am really at wits end n no idea what can I do next. Could this be hardware issue?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
I've been searching far and wide.. Each theory to understand the failures that's inside. DUN DUN

So, anyways I have an AT&T unlocked and currently using it for TMOBILE.

I've read things from build.props changes to flashing band radios such as .33 to try to obtain 4gLTE.

Also changing APN settings. Went through t-mobile services at least 5 times through live chat and calling.

Went through AT&T live chat. EVEN WENT AS FAR TO CONTACT SAMSUNG.

Every attempt failed to help me achieve 4gLTE for Tmobile using the unlocked AT&T s5.

People said they are able to use their AT&T phones and have LTE for Tmobile.

But on the other hand people said it is not possible because the 2 carriers use different bands or radio towers or whatever.

So, can someone please tell me is there a solution to having and keeping LTE for T-mobile using an unlocked AT&T phone. It's been about 3 days of search after work and this search for the philosopher stone is tiring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mickey1999:
I have a unlocked stock AT&T 4.4.2 g900a running on T mobile and have no problem getting 4g LTE. Are you sure uou have 4g lte in your area. Have you checked your APN
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
trust me. I did about everything people said. My gf has am s5. For t-mobile. I copied her an settings. I ran both our speeds on speed test just to see if the icon was glitchy. My apn settings isame exactly the same As hers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Geek007W:
If your GF has a TMO S5 G900T phone its modem has all the LTE bands used by TMO. My S5 G900A and yours do not have ALL the TMO bands. But mine works just fine on TMO LTE. You need to check your baseband and android version. The last and best is G900AUCU2AOA1 and 4.4.4. If you don't have this, you must get the OTA update on your S5.

Search the XDA threads started by muniz_ri on how to root a G900A.

Good Luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
Thanks! I just seen the thread and currently downloading the files for that thread. Lets hope it works!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
So, I got everything under that thread to work. I was unable to get the OTA update on my phone, but following that thread I was finally able to get 4.4.4.

Stilll, I cant recieve LTE. Checked my apn settings and they are fine. Changed my build.prop to kltetmo (since it said att). A worker at this phone store said it might have been my baseband because it was at ND3, so I got it to Ng3. still didnt fix it and got 4.4.4 which changed it to oa1. Nothing is working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Geek007W:
Congrats on getting OA1 and 4.4.4 installed...no small task. :D

When you say "Nothing..." is working, what specifically do you mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
Sorry! I meant that I have tried a lot of methods to obtaining LTE and all of those methods seems to fail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Geek007W:
If your phone:

1. Has G900AUCU2AOA1 and AT&T 4.4.4 installed and your Network Mode is set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM auto; and

2. your GF's G900T phone sitting next to yours shows About>Status Network = T-Mobile with Mobile network type= LTE and yours does not; then

Your AT&T modem does not connect to the TMO LTE channels used in the area. OR there is something broken in hardware or software on your phone.

Sorry, but have little more to offer because of my limited toolset. Perhaps others can help.

I began with totally stock ATT G900A and moved to TMO last October in Nor Cal. Had LTE from the get go, no problems other than poor coverage compared to AT&T at my home. Rooted in early February and installed Safestrap. Then ran stock AT&T with LTE until I upgraded modem, kernel, et al to OA1 and 4.4.4 last week with muniz_ri threads. Then installed Alliance B4 and now have faster phone with better reception and wi-fi calling! LTE solid the whole way where I had coverage.

Best wishes!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] illusion916:
Yeah my GF had to switch in her phone and got an unlocked AT&T phone and she has LTE. This is sad, maybe I can try and go trade my phone for another at a local phone store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] alexsoin:
Struggling with the same issue. Bought S5 G900A locked to AT&T a couple days ago. So I rooted, updated to OC4, bought unlock code for $2 on ebay and inserted TMO's SIM - everything works but no 4G LTE (only 4G and it's definitely slow HSPA speeds) no matter what secret code or APN settings I use. I don't have "network mode type" or something like that in menu. BTW, in the same areas (SF, Berkeley, Sacramento) LG G4 D850 att model on same TMO's SIM showed 4G LTE all the time...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adam_ky:
Open up the phone dialer and enter

*#*#4636#*#*

When you enter that it should bring you to a device service menu.

Check the preferred network settings there.

Make sure it is on one of the lte auto modes

Try that... maybe change it and see if it helps...

There is also some settings there in the menu on band selection I believe

Also.... it could be a problem with the tmobile Sim card... if the Sim card is not for lte then lte won't work.. maybe try a new Sim at tmobile if all else fails
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeldean:
I want to permanently disable my Samsung Galaxy S4's internal antenna. I know doing this seems a bit unorthodox but I have my reasons why I want to do so. I will be connecting an external antenna via the L1 port using a patch lead cable. No I don't want to use the internal antenna ever so I'm wondering how it can be disconnected; I don't want any responses asking me why I want this to be done I just want possible solutions. I was wondering if I could open the phone and somewhat remove the antenna or mess with the antenna contacts so it could stop working I'm not sure though so I need either a hardware or software solution.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The antenna is simply a wire running down the side of the battery compartment. Open the S4, disconnect that wire, and you should be able to achieve what you want.

Just one thing. Telling people you don't want questions as to why you're doing this is inevitably going to lead to people asking questions as to why you're doing this. In the future, if you don't want to pique people's curiosity, either come out and say why you're doing it, or don't make such an announcement.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeldean:
Okay thanks I will get a technician to pull the device for me. The reason i am doing it is that I am electrically sensitive...WiFi...cell signals they make me sick. The condition is relatively rare in some countries but it's increasing worldwide. Most times when I mention it to people that I am a 22 yr old electrically sensitive software engineer there's so much skepticism and ridicule because most people don't believe in the harmful effects of wireless radiation because they haven't experienced it first hand.

So my aim is to disconnect the internal antennae, then have an external one that's a good distance away that I connect to my device so I can use cell services without the radiation affecting me. I have a radio frequency meter that I use to measure the signals.The source of radiation is from the antennae so I have all other wireless features disabled and I would like to use this particular one that I can isolate/control.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If it makes you sick, that's understandable. If you want to do it yourself and not bother with the tech, taking the back off to get to the antenna wire is a pretty easy task. Nine screws and popping a tab or two and the back comes off. In your case, you want to completely remove the wire from the device as even if it's disconnected on one end, the other end may still be able to transmit. The wire snaps in at both ends, so again, it's a simple thing to do.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeldean:
Alright thanks for the info. I don't have the screw driver so I guess I will have to make a technician do it. I am all the way in Jamaica so it's easier to go to a tech than to ship a small package here. I know about the antenna wire but I am wondering if its the only antennae ( apart from the WiFi, bluetooth etc. that can be disabled ) because I saw on a website a picture of the insides and there are two antenna contacts at the top that connect to an antennae thats on the shell. So is this wire the sole antennae mechanism for the GSM?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Honestly, I don't know.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAX 404:
hi mate ,

The wire connects the antenna at the bottom to the module where the GSM/EDGE , WIFI , BT, etc chips are , that cable seem to be the only physical connection between the antenna and the respective controlling chips

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RW-1:
You went to an ATT store to try to get an unlock, or by phone?

I say go by a store and see what the service techs there can do for you, while awaiting the code you paid for ...

As far as it being MCP, that has its ups and downs to me, the upside is that is's special, won't look like everyone elses.

The downside is that it may not be the same HW inside, which may hamper you in flashing the current image for it, or even future releases, but I'll allow for, and hope I'm incorrect there.

If you didn't, try a good store and talk to the service techs, not the sales reps.

Many people asked about the Expanded Desktop option not working properly on the Yu Yureka.

I will explain why & how to FIX it.

What is Expanded Desktop:

Expanded Desktop hides the status bar as well as the navigation bar or any one of them that u want. It can also be referred as FULLSCREEN

SOLUTION:

Expanded Desktop has 2 options - whether to hide both Navbar & Status Bar or only Nav bar. To choose them, u have to follow these steps:

1. Enable "On Screen Nav Bar" from Settings - Buttons

2. Go to Settings - Display & Lights - Expanded Desktop Style

Status Bar Visible - This will only hide the Navigation Bar

Status Bar Hidden - This will hide both Status bar & Nav bar both

3. Tick anyone u want.

You are done. :highfive:

Now u can disable "On Screen Nav Bar" from Settings - Buttons if u want

For shortcut of Expanded Desktop u can add it to Quick Settings (Notification Drawer)

[Galaxy Note 3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RecklessTurtle:
I share the same concerns. So far, there hasn't been a single ROM out there that'd convince me to try out. I check the few custom ROM threads regularly and the last comments are almost always about bugs and not just small ones as well. Some ROMs can't connect to WiFi's, others loose 3/4G connection for no discernible reasons, many have missing features (like clearing the notifications with one button etc.). Seems to be that these ROMs are really on their Beta stage right now.

For my customization needs, I switched to custom launchers and theming. Works for me for the time being. Hopefully, there would be a proper CM ROM for the N3N sometime in the future (although I wouldn't hold my breath for it).

Okay, I've searched for several hours so I don't act like a true newbie and ask a dumb question that's been asked a hundred times, but I can't find anything definite on this, so here goes.

I have a new Cingular 8525 and have Cingular's PDA Connect Unlimited data plan. I am in a 3G area. I have an out of the box phone with Windows Mobile 5 with no ROM updates or hacks on it.

I would like to take my laptop in the car and hook my phone to it and have my laptop use the 3G connection that my phone is providing. I know you can setup a modem connection, and I've done that, but it only connects at 115k, which is the fastest setting the modem driver and bluetooth dongle have listed. I would like to be surfing on my laptop at the 3G speeds.

I know there are implications where Cingular may or may not charge me, because I am supposed to possibly have something called the Laptop Connect plan, but lets assume that's not an issue.

Also, whichever way is easiest, I can either use my USB cord to tether my phone and laptop together or use my Bluetooth on my laptop and connect that way.

Anyone have the steps on how to make this work?

Thanks
[Networking] DanD911Phx:
Did you ever get this working?

I have almost the same situation: a Tom Tom GO 720 device that will talk to the 8525's Handsfree service via Blue Tooth, but says that the phone is not advertising the DUN service.
[Networking] DanD911Phx:
Got it working

I did two things to make it work.

First, I got Internet Sharing working by using the cabinet called UPRREY-ICS[1].cab that you can find on this forum site. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1564979#24. This will install a link to the Internet Sharing application and show it under Programs.

That made my laptop able to use the GPRS connection. This uses the Bluetooth PAN to tether the laptop and the phone. (but be careful - your plan might not allow large data transfers).;)

Second, I found two files, also on this forum site, called WM6_DUN.zip (or separately as BT_DUN.cab) and MODEMLINK.zip.

http://xdaforums.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=314371

MODEMLINK.zip has a .rgu file in it that I didn't have to mess with .. I just copied the other files to the windows directory and restarted. :D

Now my TomTom GO 710 finds the handsfree connection, the phonebook/object connection, and the DUN service so it can get on the internet when it needs to.

Thanks to URPREY, The.Drone, and MUN for their previous posts. You rock. :cool:

Hi

I have a tomtom gps 720 that I am trying to conntect to a HTC touch diamond, downloaded the software and have placed it into my windows directory etc.. which seems to have helped as it now shows on my tomtom that my phone supports wireless data transfers, the problem I am having now is when putting the setting in the tomtom for the wireless settings my mobile of phone does not appear so I am getting up to 65% through setting it up before I run into a wall....

any further ideas?
[Networking] Carty:
I would suggest using the data cable method without bluetooth headaches. Diamond has a ver poor battery, so when ised with USB cable it can stay alive but ultimately your laptop battery is drained :)

Diamond should have built-in internet connection sharing option. Does the prompt that appears when connecting to PC have that? If not try the HTCtoUSB PopUp cabs taken from Raphel.
