A convenience store or airport, probably not. At the airport though, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't at least a kiosk or even an actual store within the airport, or at least very close by.

I honestly don't know how activation would work. I imagine it differs from company to company. From what I gather, activation with MetroPCS when buying a device or signing up for service is free. But if you do it at an "authorized retailer", they might charge a fee. I don't know if they charge for a SIM card or not. Cricket, for example, charges $10 for a SIM, activation in-store is $25, but free if you do it online.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobreak1970:
I've traveled and a lot of the major ports offer Sim card kiosks/machines or you can find them in a store at the international terminals

Usually its from carrier mvno mostly that specialize in this type of thing.

Last time I checked, WAAS is a hardware component. The chipset either has it or doesn't.

I did everything.. wiped it many times and flashed the correct kdz through my imei and nothing changed..

I'm still on kitkat hongkong..

rom version v10d..

thanks
[LG G Pro 2] ray-lee:
which app is using the most battery % when you check in the settings?

if it's varying that wildly, it sounds like media indexing or something similar.
[LG G Pro 2] AhmedMaxX:
nothing abnormal i assure u...
[LG G Pro 2] Ahmed Xperia p:
If nothing abnormal in battery stats , your battery gone bad. Replace and see
[LG G Pro 2] AhmedMaxX:
purchased a new one still the same problem
[LG G Pro 2] sinoako123:
I think this is due to that the battery usage settings is based on the 3-hour usage pattern.

If you leave it on standby for 3 hours then check the estimated time remaining, it would give really high numbers.

If you use it heavily for the past 3 hours, it would show low time remaining.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbnsade:
Have searched the forum and Google and haven't found anything yet. Usually good at performing obscure random searches but not this time. First off, I am running stock rooted 4.4.4 NI2. Running xposed and wanam but haven't found anything pertaining to my dilemma there either. Onto my issue...

I noticed after I got the phone a couple of months back that it wouldn't be at 100% when I woke up. Usually would be around 97 or so... No big deal. I tested chargers (my wife has/and had an s5 before I purchased mine) and cables with no real difference that I could see. I figured it was some type of protection built into the phone so when it achieved a full charge, it would stop charging until needed. I was perfectly fine with this, but that wasn't the big issue. I have also noticed that if I plug my phone in to charge and end up having to move to another outlet or get into my vehicle, when I plug it in again it won't charge.

The screen will come on acknowledging that it is plugged in, but it will not charge for an extended amount of time. It is almost like the phone has protection built-in so that if there is an issue with a charger/port connecting and disconnecting continuously, it will inhibit the charging until it has a consistent current. I, for instance, am about to head to the gym and wanted to charge my phone before going. It was at 13%, plugged into my nightstand charging. My wife and son got home and are going to take a nap so I unplug and go into the living room to continue charging. It was at 31% and when i plugged it back up a few seconds later it would not charge. I kept it plugged up as i was typing here and it didn't resume charging until is over halfway through writing this post. (5-10 minutes maybe? Haven't tried counting it exactly... Yet) Haven't heard or seen anything like this previously on multiple devices (Samsung, htc, 3 nexus devices, etc.) and haven't been able to find anything online so thought I'd ask here.

Also, sorry if anything isn't stated in a way to describe things perfectly. If anyone has any questions or thoughts, I would truly welcome them.

Thanks in advance.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaStark:
I updated to lollipop about a week ago. At that point in time everything was working fine. However randomly today the vibration function in my phone stopped working. So I can't get haptic feedback or vibration when calls come in or through normal notifications.

I'm running the international stock version of the sense rom. No root or anything.

I've so far tested the vibrator function on the phone via the *#*#3424 number and it didn't work at all.

Did a factory reset and the same result.

Is there any workaround to this or would I need to root and install a new ROM?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaStark:
So I retried the test and what I did was hit my phone on the palm of my hand. It vibrated then but didn't work again after.

Is there any easy way to fix this or am I going to have to live with spending a lot of money on a phone that didn't last 6 months?

[LG Optimus G (International)] ClarkOwen:
So lately, I've been thinking of selling my LG G for a Note 2 just because note 2 has a bigger screen.

The problem is, how does note 2's Processor and GPU put up with LG G's. They say Note 2's RAM and processor is better at multitasking tasks than into raw processing power for games while LG G's processor is mainly for raw power but not too much on multitasking.

What do you guys think? Should I sell my LG G for a Note 2?

Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Druakan:
I cannot boot the device into Recovery mode. If I attempt to the device stays on the Samsung boot screen. Since I have gotten the device all I have done is rooted the device and it is running android version 2.2

When I put the device into download mode it is not recognised by my computer (tried using Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 build 9926) and Odin (v4.38) does not register that the device has been plugged in. In Device Manager I get Unknown USB Device (Device failed Enumeration). Re-installing drivers and the device does nothing to fix this.

Any assistance with this issue would be welcomed.

~Edit - The device is not booting at all now. It is stick on the Samsung Boot Screen.

~Edit - For some reason putting the device into Download Mode then plugging it into a my laptop and allowing Windows Update to find the drivers worked and allowed ODIN v4.38 to detect the device.

Then by following this guide I was able to flash CWM to my device. After doing this I was able to boot the device normally and I was able to boot it into the custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] acdroid:
The best way to boot to recovery in case you aren't able to.

The best way to boot to recovery in case you aren't able to is using ADB. Use the command adb reboot recovery and for sure you will either know what the exact problem is, or will be taken to recovery.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabGuy:
Here's the situation...

My wife wants to listen to music at work without using the data plan. She would like to have all of her music on the phone at all times. When she rips CDs (yes she still buys CDs) or buys new music on Amazon she'd like it to just show up on her phone. The CD rips and Amazon purchases go to a folder on a PC which automatically gets uploaded to Google. She has 9500 songs and a 128gb card so there's no space issue. I have tried two plans but am not happy with either one. If you have any ideas I'd appreciate it.

Plan 1:

Use Google Play Music. The only way I could figure out how to get all of her music to her phone was to create a playlist that had every song in it and then click on the download icon. That works but it's static. Any new songs aren't downloaded and she must manually go in and download any new songs. That doesn't make her happy. (Happy wife, happy life.)

Plan 2:

Use any other MP3 music player. Lots of good choices out there. However, maintaining the music is a pain in the buttocks. To get the files there initially I just put the 128g chip in my computer and drag all of the files to the chip. That works. But I can't find out a way to get new songs onto the chip without manual intervention. I thought I could use a folder sync application but none of them have the authority to write to the external SD card (thank you Google) and new files won't get to the SD card without a lot of manual hand holding. That's a no go. I guess I could root and then use a folder sync application but this is her phone, not mine, and I'm not going there.

So, if any of you have any brainiac solutions, I'd love to hear them.

What's Up everyone?

I updated my Cingular 8125 to WM6 Faria edition and installed the radio patch 02.61.11; however, for the past 3 days people have been sending me text message as well as calling me and leaving me voicemails which do not come in.

I do not know if this is due to the radio version i installed, so i thought i'd asked you guys and see if anyone knows of a more stable version.

Any suggestions will be appreciate it!

Will V.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] calouro:
All radio roms above 2.19.11 have missed call and sms issues with WM6! The best one for WM6 so far is 2.19.11! Try it; it should fix your problem. Keep on mind the reception is not as good as later roms.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Zer0:
In the next few days i was going to make a thread to try to unify all the "problems with WM6 on Cingular" and "missing calls, no voicemail notification" threads into one thread. This seems to be a major issue but is largely Cingular specific.

The goal of the thread will be to focus on why radios over 2.19 (including Cingular's own 2.25) get the issue and what can be done to fix it and allow upgraded radios. Be it registery fixes, .dll replacement, or perhaps even cracking open and comparing radio roms.

The thread will NOT be about "I have this problem what do I do???" nor will be about solving issues with providers other then Cingular. However any good leads or fixes may aid in helping others with other providers.

I'll keep searching around anyways but thanks a lot for the heads up!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mfrazzz:
There is no US version of the 2.19 radio that I know of. You just use the UK one on the ftp site (thats what I've been running for about 3 months now and it works fine on Cingular here in the US).

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TabGuy:
I went with plan 1. Turns out that to download music a playlist can only have 1,000 songs. I created 10 playlist to get all of the filed to her phone. Sending new music is relatively easy as there's a "recently added" playlist to use to download new music.

Plan 2 doesn't work well as KitKat and external SD cards are not user friendly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crowmallet:
I use SyncMe Wireless to transfer all files to my phone anymore. You can set a schedule to automatically sync any file from a shared folder on your PC to any directory on your device (not sure about an external sd card, i just use the internal storage). It's worked seamlessly for me. I just drop files in my "Send to Android" folder I made on my computer and in the middle of every night it will check to see if files need to be sent over. It can work in reverse too and send files from your phone to your PC.

Also, If I want to go back to a NC2 roms will I night to flash that kernel back?

I am confused, please lmk. Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajaks:
No need to flash kernal.

But, If your developer of Rom said that custom Kernal is required then you should flash custom kernal....

For backing to stock rom you need SP TOOLS (Smart phone tool) & Scatter file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pathera:
Every custom Rom does have its own kernel included which works perfectly with it. You don't need to flash any kernel. Just if you want to change the kernel you can change it afterwards. If you want to go back to your rom you have had before, just backup your system folder with twrp for example recovery and then you can restore it back. Hope that helped.

The wifi signal is excellent, the stamina mod is not on, only the low battery mode(when battery drops low), phone is charged. I updated it today to 14.4.A.0.157

I'm really tempted to buy the moto 360 but MWC is just around the corner. Should I hold out for the second generation? Anyone know when itl be released? Wanted some advice from current owners. Is there anything you feel the first gen is severely lacking which might be in the second generation. Battery isn't an issue for me as I'll happily charge everyday. Anybodu used it with a nexus 5? What is the perofrmace like? Any problems with it disconnecting?.

Any thoughts/advice greatly appreciated.
[Moto 360] mo123456789:
OK so I've decided I'm going to buy a second hand moto 360.

Anything in particular I need to look out for apart from general wear?
[Moto 360] Tower1972:
Look out for? As in things that can go wrong? Oddly enough I am on my 3rd Moto 360. The first one had a dead pixel and didnt play nice with any other Qi charger aside from the Moto one. The second one, 2 dead pixels, and yep I returned both. Sure a dead pixel isnt a HUGE deal, but on a 250.00 watch that had this issue right out of the box, I didnt agree with that. Not to mention that once I seen the single or double dead ones, I knew they were there and my eyes constantly gravitated to it! . Oddly enough, both of these were gray banded and silver watch. After waiting a few months, I decided to pick up a black one (Yay tax returns!) , and not 1 single dead pixel, and my old wireless charging mat actually works fine

So check for dead pixels and the infamous cracked back that people are reporting on theirs (which I think would come from using a different band thats not made for the 360)
[Moto 360] mo123456789:
Thanks for your insight! I have a 1 dead pixel on my 40 inch TV and because I know its there its probably one of the most annoying things!

I will be checking the moto 360 out later on today. It is the black one and comes with both a leather and metal strap. He currently has the metal strap fitted. Are the cracks easy to see or will i need a magnifying glass?! Are there any reports of the vibration motor not working correctly or any thing regarding software which I should check before buying?
[Moto 360] Tower1972:
I havent heard much about the motor crapping out and as for the cracks, just search google since they seem to vary in size. But also as I mentioned, they "seem" to stem from the use of 3rd party watch bands. I just got the official 360 black metal band to go with my black watch, and seeing how Motorola included these little plastic tabs that fit into the slots to fill in the gaps, I can see how aftermarket straps could possibly damage it.

FYI, if the metal strap that comes with the watch is the one for the Pebble watch, be prepared to have any and all hairs on your wrist ripped out!
