[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Just to comment on multitasking/recent apps, there isn't a need to clear all as Android has significantly improved how this is handled. Only a small part of the tabs you see in lollipop recent are actually running. Android will automatically close apps to keep the appropriate amount of free RAM available. By "closing all", you are actually causing a longer start time when you reopen the app and causing apps that auto run to restart. Thus causing more battery drain and system resource consumption.

Thanks for that, how stupid of me, all these years I was fanatic about closing all apps as soon as I was done with an app. But in the long run yes you are right, it does actually consume more resources this way.
[Asus ZenWatch] GrandAdmiral:
Wondering if anyone else encountered this problem. I am no longer able to reply to text messages via the Zenwatch. Cards are only being presented like regular cards with only the options to open the app on the phone or block it. This is now happening using the native message app and GoSMS. I've tried resetting the watch and everything. Anyone experience this and was able to fix it?
[Asus ZenWatch] flamestang977:
I had the same problem. I downloaded Google messenger and now everything works fine.
[Asus ZenWatch] GrandAdmiral:
Does Messenger have to be your default app?
[Asus ZenWatch] flamestang977:
I believe so.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bmeek:
I currently enjoy my Verizon M7 with an old "grandfathered" Verizon unlimited data plan... I really have no complaints about the service level, phone calls are clear and don't drop, LTE data speeds are great... Nonetheless, I dislike Verizon's increasingly-successful efforts to lock-down their devices to an unbreakable degree, I dislike the fact that Verizon STILL hasn't released Lollipop for their M7, AND I feel I'm paying way too much money every month for my line and 3 other lines for my wife and kids (they DON'T have unlimited data - I pay for 2GB per month for each).

So, T-Mobile's month-to-month plans, their offers to buy out Verizon contracts, and the fact that their LTE coverage is reportedly faster than VZW's in 20 USA major metros is tempting...

Questions:

Does modern GSM on T-Mo devices still buzz through every nearby speaker?

How solid are telephone conversations on T-Mobile? Are you happy with their USA network? I'm working around the greater SF bay area with business travel to major metro areas - few road trips...

Are T-Mo's "unlimited" data plans truly unlimited, or do they throttle down speeds after a certain threshold?

Dare I keep using my m7wlv (verizon's HTC One variant) on T-Mo's network? Presumably I can just swap out the SIM, but I suspect limited band selection, etc. Likewise with my girls' iPhone 5ses...

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
If you get coverage in your area with T-Mobile, then the choice is yours. Nobody will blame you for the cost and device support issues... Not having T-Mobile ever (because their coverage is horrible in my area) I can't vouch for the call quality being any better than AT&T, which was terrible on gsm.

If you travel outside of major metropolitan areas, your 4g will probably have a bad time. Just judging from the few friends that have T-Mobile service asking to borrow my phone to call or look something up...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
T mobile lied to my wife about their coverage before she got the device and then tried to say she didn't send the device back when she decided to switch back to Verizon. Plus they have probably the worst customer service ever. It took nearly five days worth of phones calls just to get them to refund the $600 they charged her for the device she sent back. After this experience I wouldn't suggest anyone use t mobile but some people like it I guess.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bmeek:
Still haven't tried them - can our m7wlv work properly?

Thanks [MENTION=4310221]disconnecktie[/MENTION]. I hear you, although I expect there are many similar stories from former Verizon customers...

But yeah - I walked into the local T-Mobile store yesterday and it felt a bit slimy in terms of the say-anything sales force looking to have me sign up for a phone. I left without so much as a SIM.

I'll still probably try them to out, but I thought I should look into whether or not my m7wlv can be made to take full advantage of T-Mobile's network; or if the only fair test would be on a proper t-mo phone...

I've heard that our phone won't pickup the LTE bands used by T-Mobile by default, but I've also heard that with the MSL code one can enable all LTE bands for use. Has anyone messed with this and gotten their Verizon M7 to experience those kick-butt LTE speeds on T-Mobile I've been reading about? I'm also impressed by T-Mobile's deal with Google for Project Fi...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] disconnecktie:
As far as I know the Verizon phones get locked out of the other frequencies at a hardware level which means no amount of software modifications will change anything.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bmeek:
I'm pretty sure it's set at the baseband firmware level, likely above my pay grade to edit...
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Most likely because of the model number difference, it is hardware dependant. You RUU a dev/att edition m7 (same model number) to a tmo edition, and you still will not get aws hspa. I am going to attempt doing some edits and see if it will work as a friend of mine gave me his tmo sim to test this over this weekend. I have read it is hardware locked and nothing software side will enable those frequencies. If I do get it to work or not work, I will let you know. The other variants of the m7 will not save NV edits upon reboot. Hopefully the vzw one will.

Edit: Tried QPST and QXDM... Odd thing is our NV shows all bands unlocked. Well, I did the same edits another user did for his Vzw M8 and still rebooted with only Edge. Checked NV and some bands were now disabled, so it did change the NV values. Sadly I would assume our hardware will not support GSM bands at the NV level. I could try to flash a T-mobile radio, but I would think it is different hardware, so hopefully I don't have a heard brick on my hands after that. I will update when I get some more testing done.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Flashed the 7.x T-Mobile radio. Phone would boot and wouldn't get signal and reboot after about a minute. Still had the NV edits in place. So it must be hardware related on why we cannot get US carrier (ATT/TMo) HSPA and LTE.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] psone1:
Oki thank you for trying
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Ran into something interesting today. So after my radio Flash, the edge in my area has been wonky and odd. I did an ruu to hopefully fix any damage to the partition the radio Flash did. Reinstalled nusenseven. I use the traffic monitor. Most of the time it caps out at 35 kbps as it is edge. Some rare times I will see it wig out and pump 500k to 1.5mb for about 3-5 seconds. I do not know if it is software glitching or if the phone is on a refarmed edge band and only doing edge because of software limitation.

I live in a big city where there is refarmed towers all over the place.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mthomas:
I have had intermittant problems with tethering my laptop via an 8525 since the release of the att2.15 rom. sometimes it would work correctly, sometimes intermittantly, sometimes not at all. After trying numerous combinations of proxies on and off, and various connection settings, I have finaly isolated what i believe to be the problem. When my wifi adaptor is turned on, IE on the laptop appears to prefer to connect to the internet via wifi instead of the usb connection to my hermes device. I do not have an internet connection on the wifi router/hub at my home. Is there a simple explanation for this that one of you network gurus could educate me with? Does anyone else experience this?

There is no broadband access at my residence (rural area) other than satellite or cellular. The wireless router is functioning only as a network for several computers and printers at my home. It is a hassle to lose my tethering connection every time i need to access wifi to print, or get data from another machine.

Any info would be appreciated.

I attached poll because i wondered how often people are using this functionality.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thetaxi:
mthomas,

I just flashed up to the 2.15 ROM last night. Internet Sharing would never stay running on my laptop. I had my wireless card active on the laptop as well. It worked fine before I updated the ROM.

Edit:

I turned off my wifi card and still have the problem. After a few minutes of internet sharing, my laptop cannot recognize the the phone.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvanWasHere:
I love my Tab S.. I am running the IronRom and everything looks great..

Except the video player while in web browsers like the stock browser, Firefox, Chrome, and even apps like Relay for Reddit.

Youtube has a crappy interface.. but then other sites that offer videos are even crappier.

For example, LiveLeak.com won't play unless you "switch player". For sites that don't allow you to switch players, you are sh*t out of luck. And then even when you can play videos, the maximize video button doesnt work. Nor is there any option to improve quality.

It feels like it's converting the video to play in some crappy player.. instead of in the site's default one. I am coming from an iPad and never had this problem. Video sites that worked on the iPad don't work in this player on the Tab S.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way out of this player?

Here are 3 sites. Streamable and VidMe.. Both work work, but you can't maximize the screen or improve the quality. The NYTimes one won't load at all.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamesyboy:
I'd like to root...and i'll likely need recovery as well...so, to Lollipoop or not to lollipoop? Should i take the OTA update? Or should i root and TWRP to backup KK? Someone mentioned in one of their roms that you needed the lollipop bootloader to install their rom. I'm used to the eee pad transformer and Nexus 7 where you could be bootloader-unconcious. Not used to this BL sort of thing.

For now i'll probably stick to the stock rom.

For bonus kudos: Why don't i see OTA .zips for install in TWRP? Whenever there was an OTA for my other devices, shortly after the update was released, .zip files were made available and again, no need to worry about the BL. What makes this device different? Is running a KK rom after updating the BL to Lollipop possible?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
You can run a kitkat Rom with a lollipop bootloader, they are backwards compatible, but not the other way around.

You keep asking about rooting and recovery, already I gave you a link for that. Just read that thread.

My advice is to install it, then immediately do a full backup of your kitkat system before upgrading to lolliop.

To upgrade to lollipop read the lollipop thread and DONT skim read it. There is important info that you WILL need.

If you don't like it simply restore your TWRP backup.

Also note that anything custom that you flash to your device will trip the Knox bit and void your warranty.

I already went back to stock but it was on kitkat. The thing is when using this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 it says i have to go into download mode (i already did this once when going back to kitkat) but now i cant go into download mode. I still have the recovery so i could change to a kitkat rom and then run the autorec to fix the download mode but im not even sure if thats gonna work. Helps please. i tried running the autorec on lollipop and now when i try turning it on it says security error and turns back off.

Recently i updated my firmware to 4.4.2 . Before the update my camera did not exhibit the magenta cast so common on HTC One's cameras. Something I noticed last night is that when using a couple banking apps that allow me to deposit checks. The banking app images using my camera are not tinted magenta like the standard camera app shows. Anyone know if I can get rid of the magenta problem?

No. From my understanding and personal experience, it tends to happen when the phone is hot and only shows in darker pictures.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] n33raj18:
I searched for this but couldn't find anything which could solve my issue. So here goes...

I have I-9082 while my friend has the L variant, Grand Quattro. He wanted me to help him get Lollipop in there so I..you know...tried. Because, how hard it could be? I was running CM 12.1 without issues!

So this phone was running on 4.1.2 and I was required to first upgrade to a 4.2 bootloader in order to install a custom recovery. I went to sammobile, searched for I9082L and downloaded a Uruguay zip because for some reason there was no 4.2.2 for region India.

While the monstrous zip(tar.md5) was downloading I decide to play around and install a custom recovery. Because why not? So I use the one meant for 4.1.2 using ODIN and BAM! It's a success. No sweat. So I decide to boot into recovery. But for some god forsaken reason, there's no recovery there. Just a BLANK BLACK look.

I then tried to update the phone to 4.2 anyway. Using the Uruguay zip. But no success. Odin just gives up on me after a while and it Fails! In my desperation, I tried the zip for Chile but to no avail.

All I can do now is go into Odin mode somehow after wrestling with the 3 buttons.

Any help would be appreciated. Could I be using the wrong recovery? Or may be the phone, which also goes by I8552, is entirely different! Sammobile has different ROMs for I9082L and I8552, adding to my confusion.

I found a reg tweak to get a simple battery icon in my tray. Worked just fine. I did a hard reset and can't find the tweak now. I've searched for the past 30 minutes and found a bunch of crap related to 3rd party apps and the time and date in the tray. I found:

HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon

and set that to 1 and did a soft reset and it didn't work. So, how the hell do I get the icon to show up? Right now, I have 2 icons for connection (E for EDGE and signal strength), volume, and the time, and I want all those, plus the battery icon. Thanks

[Wing, P4350 General] the_matrixx:
In the Task Bar

Ok, so how do you remove the battery icon from the task bar? Somehow something I installed or changed put it there but I have no idea how to undo it since it's never shown up or done that before.
[Wing, P4350 General] freakingwilly:
Haven't figured that one out yet. I never liked the system tray on the bottom, so I removed it altogether with a simple reg tweak. Navigate to...

HKLM\init\

There you will find several keys, but the one you want is Launch92. This contains the location of where Windows will look for the tray app. I just modified the registry from "TrayAp.Exe" to "oldTrayAp.exe" Prevents the app from starting up altogether. You can then use BatteryStatus to create its own system tray and from there, you can add all your own icons (including a battery icon). I believe the battery program is powerexe.exe in the Windows directory.
