Looks very interesting. However, I don't find it appealing to me the same as way Athena. Portability factor is not as attractive as Athena. I prefer no keyboard (I like a tablet) and size no bigger than Athena. I like the storage capacity though. I don't know if running Vista on it would be sluggish and taxing on the battery, so let's wait and see. I wonder how easy it is for the phone to respond to incoming calls under Vista.

yea dude...thats the htc shift...that piece of crap is tooo darn big for a pocket...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] jmdrizen:
Is this not like the cPC thing that flopped on a major level? With a dual boot between standard Windows and Mobile Windows?

Although, the fingerprint thing would be interesting for me with some of the software I'm using, but not for a major price increase........
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Who says I can't have both? I have two pockets. Just have to make one pocket bigger than the other. ;-)

I'm trying to decide if I want to order one or not. My deciding factor was the built in GPS. Since I see that the Shift may have built in GPS, it's becoming more attractive to me. Just soooo damn big. 7" screen. I have a PVR that has a 7" screen with a 100gig HD and it won't fit into my pocket. Just too big. I leave it in my back pack. I don't want to carry my back pack just because my new phone is too big. Still deciding.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wgary:
Carrying the Athena? (let alone anything bigger)

With respect to size, even the Athena is plenty big. I still haven't found a solution I like for carrying it with me. If I'm wearing pants with large pockets, that sort of works except for looking kinda freakish. And it really won't fit in some pockets.

I have also tried a camera bag that clips onto my belt. That lasted about 30 minutes. Just too dang bulky. So much of the time I carry it around like a little purse, which irritates me because I'm always afraid I'll forget it. (How do women do this??)

None of the commercial cases I've looked at have seemed like they will do what I want. The best solution I saw was a metal frame that hooks on to the stock case with a belt clip that this guy posted pictures of, but he hasn't responded to my inquiries about making me one!

So... what are the rest of you doing? Any great ideas?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Abram:
My sentiments exactly! I need to carry it so I can have both hands free, ALWAYS. :( That means a belt case. My latest addition (3rd attempt) was a nintendo DS lite case. Guess what, it doesn't fit! Maybe we could persuade that guy with the metal clip to have a go for us, and give us a quote?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wgary:
He hasn't responded to PMs and his email is hidden. Hopefully he'll check back some day and notice we're looking for him! For me, this might be the best approach. I really like the stock case (know I'm a minority there), but it does work for me. For example, sits flat for tabletop typing, EZ in/out of case to use it in tablet mode, keyboard pops right into place while still in the case, etc... EXCEPT for the missing belt clip.!!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
I have absolutely no issue in carrying the unit around. This is what I have. I can either bring the keyboard with me or leave it behind.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDarrenGriffin:
Good afternoon. This is my first post so please excuse any noobishness.

So i just bought an LG G4 and i am so in love with it. I used to use a Nexus 5 and was excited to see the new features that lollipop 5.1 brought to some of the existing features. Espicially the wifi and bluetooth quick connect functions on the pull down menu.

I want the stock pull down menu from what i use on my nexus, on my G4. I am willing to root as i really liked the Xposed Framework. Is this possible?

I really love some of the other lg features like the knocklock. But if I were to just install android 5.1 over the current AOSP, will I loose features such as knocklock, IR remote etc?

Thank you :)

hello, i recently broke my z3's digitizer and a replacement is on its way, but i have some concerns, first of all, i noticed that there's a glue between my digitizer and my screen, i know how to remove it, i got some isopropynol , but i don't have the same glue used between the screen and the digitizer, will that be a problem ? i tried looking for it online but the only thing i was able to find is the adhesive stickers which i ordered.

has anyone did this before with their phone? i can barely find any useful videos that actually separated their digitizer from the screen .
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
There is only one type of glue that gives the best results and that is Loca Glue.

To change just the glass takes skill and patience, Lots of it.

Make sure u have the tools for the job. Demands a steady hand and the risk of cracking the lcd in the prosess is very high. I suggest a heatgun to make the process easier.

Good luck.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexBlomkvist:
Hi everyone,

Until recently I've been using a KitKat based ROM and I was pretty OK with how my NOTE 3 SM-9005 was performing. However, a few days ago I decided to try a Lollipop based ROM and the problems started. I had similar problems with 3 different ROMs with great reviews. My battery went, for example, from 100% to 15% in ONE HOUR while streaming from YouTube. It never did that before. Also, It sometimes gives a "system stopped responding" error or something like that (it's like the equivalent of explorer.exe crashing on Windows) and after a few seconds it starts working again. Other system apps crash as well every now and then and sometimes the phone just decides to restart by itself.

I initially used Philz recovery and after the initial errors I switched to TWRP and started from scratch. I completely wiped my system internal space before flashing and, of course, I wiped dalvik cache and cache before and after flashing the ROM. I only used recommended gapps. Also, I did not restore any system apps. I started from scratch after the installation and the problem is the same.

To be more exact, I tries flashing so far the following ROMS, experiencing more or less the same problems on each:

temasek's UNOFFICIAL CM12.1

AryaMod V5.4 TW Lollipop Official BOB6

BlissPop 3.5 Unofficial

I also tried the Dirty Unicorns v9.4 ROM from the Original Android Development section but this one went on a reboot loop initially after the first restart so it never really even installed.

At this point I believe I might have done something that I should't have, but it seems strange because this is not the first time I am flashing a new ROM and I never had problems in the past. Also, my NOTE 3 SM-9500 did not have any problem on my previous KitKat ROM. Did I miss something? Should I have used another kernel? If I understood correctly, the ROMs come with a recommended kernel already. If this is not the problem, what could it be? Should I have done any additional thing before flashing a Lolipop ROM after using a KitKat ROM?

I now installed an app for trying to find out what exactly drains my battery but this is not the only problem. The system itself is really unstable.

I would really appreciate some help, suggestions, or opinions. I really don't know what else should I be doing at this point.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexBlomkvist:
Apparently is the media server eating all that battery (currently 68%).

I will format the SD card hoping this fixes the issue.....but could this have something to do with the system error and, sometimes, restarts?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Well I really don't know what to say! A lot of people report battery problems on 5.0 just because they didn't wipe the phone while coming from KK! But you did, so that's no go. Battery life on LP is much better than KK for me, at least 20% better if not more. And I didn't face any system crashing issues either! Don't really know what's going on with you mate.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexBlomkvist:
Someone suggested that maybe I shoud update the bootloader and modem to a Lollipop version but I really couldn't find any info on how to do that.

Formatting the SD card just slightly reduced the battery drain. The phone is still discharging like crazy. Any suggestion on how to update the bootloader and modem?

Thank you.

[Moto X Q&A] poena:
Forgive me here. I have a VZW dev edition.

Currently running 4.4.4 stock rom. I had it rooted before and I think I recently lost root. Forgot why but I didn't really need it.

EDIT: I remember now. I did a factory reset. Did I lose root?

anyways the OTA that came a few weeks ago the small one will not install. I have enabled my apps again that I had disabled. I do not remember if I did a tether hack before which was just replacing a file. Bootloader is unlocked still.

So after the OTA downloads and reboots the android shows up the bar starts to move and then red exclamation mark.

Update unsuccessful.

What do I need to do? I also do not want to wipe data.

The OTA alert is annoying me to no end.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
It sounds like the pre-flash validation checks are failing for some reason.

A few things don't add up in your post...

You have a Dev Edition, so to root you unlock the bootloader, flash TWRP, boot into it, and when it prompts you too, allow it to root (or if you don't get rooted, install SuperSU while booted to TWRP). IN that state, a Factory reset doesn't remove root. So did you root by some other method? If so, that is why the OTA is failing.

Next.. you say you did a tether hack that was just replacing a file. Did you put the ORIGINAL file back? If no, that will cause the OTA to fail.

The only way to really know exactly why is to NOT install the OTA, instead just download it. Move the OTA zip from /cache to your /SDCard (which takes root) after it finished downloading. Again Do NOT install it the "normal way". Make sure you have a working STOCK Recovery on your phone. Manually boot to stock recovery and apply the update zip via the menu options. When it errors, it will pause and tell you why, what caused the issue. You need to correct it and try again.

One final option... See -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/faq-how-to-prepare-ota-update-carriers-t3126425 you can take some time and read the first post... then skip to Post #2, and use the Requirements section, and Option 2.

Have you tried looking in the Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Android Development sub-forum for a ROM with the word Noterized in the title? Then flashing it like all the other ROMs you've flashed, through TWRP?

My honest opinion is you should have done a lot more reading and learning before trying to change the operating system of your phone. But since you have already started my advice is learn to use the XDA search function and Google. Find all you can about issues like yours and how, if possible, to solve them.

After all, the point is to learn how to solve problems yourself, isn't it? Because XDA is not a fast-food drive-thru of modding, you are expected to put in the effort to learn.

My main complaint with the stock camera is that it seems to only support two resolution settings (and I am guessing they are the really the same resolution, just one is cropped to make 16:9 aspect ratio). Am I missing something? Is there a way to take lower-resolution photos (e.g. for web posting or faster email upload) using the stock camera app?

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acreo Aeneas:
Your phone has to support Google's Camera2 API in order for the app to even function. Right now only a few devices even support the official Google Camera2 API. The ones I know of are: Nexus 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy S6, LG G4. Since the camera hardware is the same as my Nexus 6, I'd expect this app to just work, but Alcatel's software side probably isn't even written with Camera2 API in mind.

Hello community from XDA

I recently got an S4 GT-I9505 from my sister because I needed to return my last phone. I never really had a Samsung before and I don't really hate it atm but also don't quite like it yet. I am looking for a rom that can support wii mote pairing without a bluetooth adapter(something that stopped working from 4.2+). So I either need something like a trimmed stock 4.1 rom or something that can actually support pairing with wiimotes. I also would like better battery life because it seems to drain the battery really fast. I was browsing the internet with almost no brightness at all and I lost 20% in 30 min and mind you I have no extra app running its pretty much stock lolipop. I hope you guys can reccomend me some roms or if there is any trimmed 4.1 stock rom for the s4.

I have seen a few post where people were having issues enabling NoRefresh.

This is a complete install pack to get NoRefresh working.

In the pack is:

The default 1.2.1 kernel - should work with any official B&N ROM/Based ROM.

Clearscreen app. Handy to get rid of shadowing.

ReLaunch launcher. One of the few Home launchers that doesn't crash NoRefresh settings.

NookColorTools. Allows you to install 3rd party apps/sideload.

NookTouchModManager. Lets you set the hardware buttons to apps, such as Clearscreen/ScreenRotator.

ScreenRotator

The pack also enables SU/Root. This is needed for NoRefresh.

To help with performance the pack also enables init.d and includes CPU and Kernel optimization scripts.

It also enables busybox.

In the Attachments I have also included MXPlayer and the Codec pack to test NoRefresh.

Working NoRefresh settings:

NoRefresh Settings

Start Service on Startup

Current Service State > Enable

App Whitelist > enable the apps you want to use NoRefresh.

Contrast Setting > Appear always

This install pack does NOT work with Fastmode/Fastmode2
