[Sprint LG G2] nmoreman:
Thanks for th info, but that was what I was questioning in my post above. I had found that link, had seen these 4, but none end in my ---d, which is what makes me nervous just choosing one.

Logic says C before D, so if I get to stock, it might upgrade normally ota.

I know the overt is preventing this, I just hadn't kept up on android techniques, so nervous.

It's my husbands phone, so will try this next week. Told him the worst that can happen is I brick and he gets a new shiny phone! But he's happy with this one, so trying to be sure I don't break it for him!
[Sprint LG G2] :
I understand, here are all the updates in chronological order starting with most recent:

ZVG	04/27/2015

ZVE	10/20/2014

ZVD	07/21/2014

ZVC=ZVB	03/31/2014

ZVA	01/27/2014

ZV8	12/06/2013

ZV7	11/08/2013

So if you download the ZVC file from that link, then flash it using the lg tools found in the tot method, boot phone up, let it do it's activation and bloat up, it will offer the ZVD update afterwards. Then after that update it will offer the next and so on. I think there is a way to remove the update reminder somewhere in the forums.

As far as why the ZVD file wasn't in his download directory is that sometimes people don't take the time to make all of them available for redundancy sake, since the only thing that was mentioned as to the difference between ZVC and ZVD was "Knock Code."

Hello everyone, i could present you my live wallpaper which show battery percent at screen.

At free version is available one theme with unlimited color customizable.

Important information: Wallpaper call redraw only when battery status changed or or it is necessary, like return from other full screen app. Not redraw every 16ms like typical animation live wallpaper. And it is reason why it not consume to much power :)

[IMG="Get Flat Battery LW"]https://developer.android.com/images/brand/en_generic_rgb_wo_60.png[/IMG]
[Android Apps and Games] marketa83:
Looks amazing! I 'm afraid that will be takes a battery isn't it? And what about colors of themes can i change it?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I think it just listens to the event of battery change:

http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/battery-monitoring.html

So it's not polling it all the time or something like that. Should be ok.
[Android Apps and Games] jiri.sykora83:
Yes it is use just Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED and also skip drawing when screen not visible :)

I think it not consume to much battery. And Draw on nexus 5 is around 500ms (if you have enable long shadows). But is only once for long time I think it is not bad.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Half a second to draw something?

How could it be that slow?

Does it at least do it on a background thread?
[Android Apps and Games] jiri.sykora83:
No it not necessary because it not have any interaction (live wallpaper native run in background). It is not using any static bitmap everything is rendering via native android Canvas and it is reason why it "slow" but allow many customization.

And why it slow. Simple answer Long Shadow when you disable render is 50ms max.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Oh, ok, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] marketa83:
Ok, thank you guys for specification :) anyway do you plan any changes and news in app?
[Android Apps and Games] jiri.sykora83:
Sure I will add some widget (like circle themes, but currently I work on update my other app). Do you would add as tester? :)
[Android Apps and Games] marketa83:
Yes, please.
[Android Apps and Games] marketa83:
How can i be a beta tester?
[Android Apps and Games] jiri.sykora83:
Nice!

first add on testing community: https://plus.google.com/communities/111910344061988012156

after them: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.sykora.flatbatterypercent

Now you recieve beta testing version from google play. I glad for your bugs reports :)
[Android Apps and Games] marketa83:
I'm in :)
[Android Apps and Games] flowersand:
Hi, looking awsome. How can i set set it as wallpaper?
[Android Apps and Games] jiri.sykora83:
Dependent on your phone. On most case just long press on home screen and select "set livewallpaper" or it just in other classic wallpaper.

And also when you run Flat Battery LOW first option is for redirection to live wallpaper settings.
[Android Apps and Games] flowersand:
Thanks for your advice. But when i'm in app and want to set as wallpaper .nothing happened
[Android Apps and Games] jiri.sykora83:

Hello I've seen videos on YouTube on straight talk using Verizon lte and there data speeds where like 16+ and I get only 5mbps. Even with full bars of 4gLTE ? When I do speed test I see it say 13 but Gos to 5mbps?
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Is this a serious question? Are you really comparing LTE speeds in your area with speeds you see in some youtube video from whoknowswhere? Unless the uploader of that video happens to be your next-door neighbor, you can't be making this comparison.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rubilicious:
Hi, I've done goofed

Was trying to update this s2 to ICS from GB using the simple updater from samsung, but had a problem and the device became softbricked.

I could go into download mode only, else the soft brick icon would pop up

I was trying to charge it so i could go and try to recover it... But apparently all it did was discharge the battery :/

Now i can't even get into download mode. The only answer i get from the cellphone is when i plug it into my usb port, he turns on for 2 secs with the softbrick icon then goes off again...

How can i fix this? (Don't know anyone else with an s2, and all i have is an s4 to change batteries)

Thanks

which is advanced way for modifing on mobiles settings, but once I enteren on:

LTE-ONLY> Modem Setting > LTE Band Selection

I tried to repair it by choosing these bands: (band3=1800Mhz & band40=2300Mhz) sence it's our bands here in Saudi Arabia for STC company, but it didn't work.

In my city the only ban activated is 40=2300Mhz.

Do you have any solutions? let formatting be the last solution.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Willixel:
Hey guys, ran into a problem with my G2 today. Either Google Play Store will crash as soon as you try to open it, or other Gapps such as Calendar, Gallery, Contacts, etc. will crash when you try to open them. This started happening after a dirty flash of CloudyG2 to fix audio issues. I have tried clean flashing, factory reset and then clean flashing... Basically everything I could think of. The only thing I haven't done is try a new ROM.

I have tried both minimal and modular Gapps for Android 4.4.2 as well. I'm at a loss as to what to do next.

Has anyone tried downgrading? Does it work? If you downgrade then take the ota again, does it brick?

I am thinking about flashing the EU firmware then upgrading to kitkat, but want to be sure if I can downgrade since I would like to later install the firmware from Chile instead of EU.

Sent from my XT1095
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
The only thing that can get you into trouble is the gpt.bin. And maybe it doesn't even get u into trouble. The gpt.bin was the only one that got flashed in the update.zip that can break the phone afaik.

So downgrading to JB should be possible. But for the safety, remove the gpt.bin. If u can get the chili ota after it i don't know.

Off course this is at your own risk :P
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gromoboi:
Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me with this, guys.

I have Note 1 and due for an upgrade with AT&T. I've repaired this Note 1 many times and changed a lot of faulty components. I have unfixable problems with GPS and power button sometimes (1/month) not working until full disassembly and a lot of cleaning (usually takes 2 days offline). I also have to go overseas for some time in June and wanted a new phone without problems and a better camera.

So here comes the Note Edge. I wanted to buy it but I need the root and don't want to get stuck for two years without it. I am looking for a phablet, so the Notes seem like a good candidate

So the question is: Is it worth to buy AT&T Note Edge now and wait for the root? Or should I hold out, wait until Note 5 comes out and risk having a broken phone overseas?

Thank you in advance,

G
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
I don't expect root any time soon. If you absolutely need it, you could always get a T-Mobile model and unlock it.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gromoboi:
Thank you for the replyI was going to buy it through AT&T's 2 year upgrade program with a discount, so T-Mobile is probably out of question :(
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
Yeah, then you're probably out of luck with root. Otherwise you could try to find it used somewhere. Maybe in the future, there might be root for ATT, but don't hold your breath.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wgary:
Hi everyone,

Well, I finally made the plunge and am loving my HTC Advantage. Truly delightful. I'm slowly making progress but there but I have a few issues that perhaps someone can help me with.

--Note: I am on TMo USA and migrating from a MDA (Wizard), just couldn't find any love for the "Wing".

--Also note that I have thoroughly read this forum and tried everything I can find. Also lots of googling.

1. I am running MrVRealVGA as widely recommended. This is great, and I've got lots of things working. EXCEPT:

a. I've tried the suggested skins for the dialpad, but none are at all functional with RealVGA. Any suggestions?

b. Likewise, hard to find a good Wisbar skin. I have one that "mostly" works (SWDeluxe) but the folder icons are way big, as are the icons on the task menu.

c. The Comm Manager is also an issue, but I use PhoneAlarm which can mostly handle these chores. I'm using the SWDeluxe theme which looks pretty good.

2. Buttons. I would really like to add additional assignments to the OK and Start buttons since they are so handy. Neither AEBPlus or DoubleLauncher seem to be able to work with those. Any suggestions?

3. I am having the same problems with GPS as others report. Will try iGuidance tomorrow, see if I can get any love. No luck at all with Google Maps. Will report back...

4. Also no luck with TV Out using the 4-in-1 cable; but I haven't really spent enough time mucking around.

Otherwise, the transition has really been easy. The keyboard is not as bad as some suggest, although backlighting would be a plus. Browsing the internet is great and VueFlo is "interesting." Solid signal reception (GPRS and WiFi) compared to the Wizard, and it seems reasonably responsive, even with VGA. And that huge, bright screen is great!!!

After lurking on this forum for a few weeks, I'm glad to now be a full-fledged member!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wgary:
OK, I got the answer to question #1a, from another thread. VijayBigPhone does the job! Nice solution from one of my heroes!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Osir1s:
Welcome to the boards, I would suggest for number 4 you just need to play around with it a little more.

I just tried mine then and love it, quickly connected it to the LCDTV (VGA input) then settings, TVOUT > On > VGA output > OK > LCDTV in PC Mode > Voila....beyond presentations I didnt think it would be a worthwhile feature, but I might I actually read ebooks now that I can see them in full glory of 5" VGA (which is nice) or 32" LCDTV.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wgary:
I'm happy to report success with iGuidance. It would not autodetect GPS, but I manually selected Port 5 and it did work. Acquisition is not as quick as I was used to with my external hockey puck. Seems to be a cold boot each time. On the other hand... no time for trying to find where I put my hockey puck the last time, no time for setup, charger, etc., and no messing around with BT connections, so this will definitely work!

Still no luck with Google Maps.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] AL904:
I tried to install iGuidance 3.0.1 on my Advantage yesterday. I tried installing to both the Microdrive and main memory. The program seemed to install normally, but once installed would not run.

What version of iguidance are you using on your Advantage? Where do you have it installed?

TIA (from a Newbie)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] AL904:
I will answer my own question (in case anyone else has the same problem.)

I received an email back from iNav Tech Support saying:

I had already installed iNav maps on my SD card.

I installed the iGuidance program on the SD card. It wouldn't run. So, I set my Advantage to Flight Mode, and tried again. Sure enough, iGuidance started right up. I turned Flight Mode off, and iGuidance ran normally. Now, iguidance will start up without having to shut down the wireless connections.

I still would be interested in feedback from anyone who has upgraded to version 4 of iGuidance. Is the upgrade worth the expense? Have you noted any significant changes in the program?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] miterb:
Re: Iguidance - another option

I have 'Destinator' installed and running with no problems on my X7501. I note that IGuidance may no longer be selling maps for Europe although this may only be in the USA. I used Destinator in the UK on my Dell Axim this summer and in the USA earlier this month on my Advantage.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Ninja1:
For those of you using iNav...the shortcut for iNav points to a "starter application" that detects the resolution, chooses the VGA or QVGA version to run, and deletes the other version. This can cause problems if you use RealVGA and later change the system resolution, as the appropriate executable has been deleted. The solution is to use a File Manager and change the attributes to "Read Only" for the VGA and QVGA iNav applications.

Also, if you use 128dpi and iNav...the starter will open the VGA version, but the QVGA menus work better in 128dpi. For this resolution I created a shortcut that directly points to the QVGA version.

HTH.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Ninja1:
Open Google Maps...Menu--Options--Track Location Settings. Select Set by Windows if you are using the WinMo External GPS applet. Select Set Manually and set your com port/baud rate (Com 5/9600 for x7501) if you are not allowing WinMo to control the GPS. I have Google Maps installed to Main Memory.

That having all been said, I find that Windows Live just plain works better, and allows me to set the map cache to the SD card.

Enjoy.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] hobbitgod:
I have had no issues with Google Maps other than the location off, but until I discovered Com 5 using the HTC GPS Tool, I couldn't get any of my other applications to use GPS. Having discovered Com 5, GPS is working just fine. Though I would like to figure out how to GPS stamp my photos - I don't have a P10 in my registry for the camera.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] lakeman:
Google maps has been working for ages.

You can easily enable the GPS photo by using schaps advanced configuration tool version 2.

If you use michys roms you can install this over Schap advanced config3.

Hope this helps
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaTrEd360:
I'm running the latest Alliance rom on my VZW S5. with NE8 firmware like it said to install. Ever since I installed it last week I noticed my MMS doesnt work. I can't send or receive. From what I've researched it's supposed to set automatically. I have mobile data as 3G and 4G work fine I just can't do pictures. SMS works fine. If I go into APN settings, everything is nulled out. I can't even add another one or reset to factory defaults. Most of the options say "Not Set" and since I am on a custom rom I doubt taking it to Verizon will do anything.... any chance someone else knows how to fix this? I tried using 8sms and that didn't work either. MMSC and the proxy settings need to be set as far as I can tell but I don't see any threads or anything on Google about this. Surely I can't be the only one with mms issues....

So is there a solution or am I SOL? I might just have to go back to stock but I love this rom :(

That means touch wiz bugs out and makes everything huge like on kk. This fills up the whole screen and looks real slick. Tab A ish. Awesome right. This means that some apps support multidpi but bugs out in a way that makes it huge.
