that case is OK. I'm referring to a key being totally unresponsive unless I press really hard or somtimes a key kinda "sticks" and doubles/triples the letter...

It's stopping any quick typing as you finish a word only to see that it has doubled or missed out a letter in the word!!!

If anyone has a solution, even if it means taking the dang divice apart..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Neverwork:
i took mine apart the other day for this problem

it looked all fine

i cleaned out the membrane and the board that the membrand touches

worked better for a good 2 hours

and then right back to the problem....

we need a permanent fix lol

Fellas, I've switched from the Black Majik rom to the Black Satin rom and now all of my kes are responsive as on my old device. I don't know if this is a permanent fix since I've only had this rom for a week or so, but I will update the forum in another week.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I can understand different ROMs affecting the overall responsiveness of the keyboard. However it does not make sense to me that different ROMs would affect the responsiveness of certain keys only.

I would certainly urge folks to be sure their problem is one of

specific individual keys only

before attempting the physical fix in my post above. In other words be very sure the problem is NOT one of a laggy keyboard response due to ROM/software.

[Moto 360] aussieinjapan:
Was browsing the web and thought Id take a look at moto's Japan site.

So since XDA wont let me post links, go to motorola japan to look.

Motorola recently updated their Japanese webpage and the Moto 360 is the start page.

Good news (for me) considering Motorola has zero presence in Japan.

For example; the phones they have on the page include razr and razr HD !

Does anyone have any info on this ??
[Moto 360] Cst79:
What is so interesting in the fact that Moto 360 is available in Japan ? You could buy one years ago from eBay or from one of the online US stores, if you wanted one.
[Moto 360] aussieinjapan:
Well motorola hasnt sold anything in Japan for years. If you look at the webpage, youll see !

Getting stuff from ebay is a hassle if you live here - the fact that they seem to be back is a step in the right direction
[Moto 360] aussieinjapan:
Plus the range of android wear watches is very limited here. And I dont want to be rude but this would be interesting to people living in Japan who are members here - whats so interesting about stuff coming the the US or UK ???
[Moto 360] tom1807:
Ahem, are you talking about the fact that Motorola is selling it directly or about the availability?

Because I bought the Moto 360 last year already on Amazon Japan.

Cheers

[Moto 360] Cst79:
I don't want to be rude either. And believe it or not, I do understand your position. I live in an UE country which never gets the goodies launched in US and UK. And yet I can easily manage to buy the things that others are getting first, at good prices. We live in a global market, prices are similar, warranty indeed is a problem but I for one don't think that I needed warranty work more than 2 times in my dozens of devices purchased.
[Moto 360] michaelsammler:
I will be rude....

Just kidding. The moto 360 is way overpriced on amazon.co.jp because it is imported (from us amazon?). I think 2nd gen is $500 (¥49999) right now. This is great news cause I can get one cheaper and with a warranty and maybe with some google goodies, like play store credit or something. 1st gen is like $250 right now, but $150 on us playstore.

Edit: Looks like a $150 moto 360, gen 1, is only 6-12 bucks to ship to Japan from us amazon. Not bad, but with the weak yen, we still take a hit, so it would be better if priced at ¥30000 on the jp google store. But, I do not see it on the store here in japan. Really want a 360 2nd gen. hmmmm......

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spokzers:
2 weeks ago i went out for a swim with my Xperia Z1 Compact

after i came back the phone had water droplets on both the cameras

I tried to dry it as quickly as possible during which the phone started to malfunction (the ambient light sensor stopped working, the touch screen started to do things on its own, the front camera stopped working)

And now after 2 weeks of trying to dry the phone from inside everything is back to normal

the light sensor works, the front camera works, the sound works

the only thing that doesnt work is the touch screen, i cant touch at any part of the screen

Can someone tell me what the problem might be and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s4mielis:
seems like the touchscreencable is shorting out. could be because of residue liquid behind the panel.

best guess, grab a heat gun and some spudgers, remove the display assemly (look for youtube guides) and let it dry.

after that look for any dirt , clean it with isopropanol and attach it again.

1. if it works, buy a fitting self-adhesive foil and glue it back together.

2. if not, im afraid you will have to buy a new display assembly somewhere. (they are at about 75 € in germany, i dont know what it will cost you at your location.)

should be doable with a little bit of patience and about 20 $ in tools.

[Verizon LG G4] dslappy:
Hello all!

I've been a creeper around here since 2010 (obviously not on the G4 forum), and I have just now decided to register. I got into rooting and ROM'ing with my Droid X, and now I'm a "phone enthusiast" (I suppose that's what you can call someone who irresponsibly spends money on different phones).

So I'm a third year Computer Security student at my University and I know languages like Java and C. Java, being the language that Android is based on, and C, being the basis for Linux systems, I would imagine to be very beneficial to me in Android development. Basically, what I'm trying to find is a good resource to tell me how all of the system image files work. I've had to reflash firmware plenty of times and know of the system files like system.img, boot.img, etc. and I want to know how they all work and work together.

My end goal is to be able to unlock the bootloader (which I imagine is decrypting the file and editing something within it) for the community. But, I can't even try to do that without knowing how all of this stuff works together and what exactly it means in the technical sense to unlock the bootloader.

Are there people on this forum who know or a resource to learn about this stuff, or a user who is experienced enough to explain to me how this all would work?

PS. I know there are some really smart people working on unlocking it, and I'm certainly not trying to jump in and act like I can do it. I'm just purely curious in trying to do this.

Thanks in advance!

Hi

So I changed the PIN on my tablet and forgot it. Now I am trying to get in and I cant, I assumed there would be an option to log in with my Google account, but I do not see that option anywhere. There is no forgot password button like most phones for some reason. Is there no option for this at all on this tablet? I've already entered the incorrect PIN 60 times, hoping it would pop up asking me to enter my Google account info but no luck. Is factory resetting the tablet really the only way to get in now??!

Thanks for your reply but I suppose that guide also won't be help because the ALL in One tool depends on Revolutionary for doing the main thing. I feel the purpose of that guide is to be able to run revolutionary because in the ICS revolutionary exploits are patched. It still needs revolutionary though for s-off thing.

Following is an extract from the steps...

27. Download this ROM This is the .19 ROM from the All IN One Tool. Thanks to Trter10@XDA

28. Place it in the Root of your SD Card and install in hboot (like a radio).

It will install the radio's first then it will reboot by itself and install the rest.

If all goes well you will be on .19 ROM and back to Normal.

Go to the All-In-One Tool and let it do it's thing.

First of all I don't know where to download the .19 ROM, the link is dead, do you have it?

Second, All in One tool in step 28 requires Revolutionary?

Is my understanding wrong or is there something else?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShapesBlue:
It took a small amount of searching but I think I found the roms. I remember using santods deoxed ICS rom way back when. The links are dead for goo.im but they may not be dead for other places. Did you unlock the bootloader and root the device?

And I was indeed correct. Santods uploads still exist at AFH(android file host). Just verified this via the infected rom website. If you need help getting the files for the rom let me know or post here

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijhawank@yahoo.com:
I found the files, thanks.

However can you confirm my understanding regarding the all in one tool dependency on revolutionary. If that is correct then I can't Complete the main step that performs s-off.

What about the old psneuter/wpthis method? Do I have to be on a specific rom version for that method?

Good news guys -- although it seemed that all hope to ever use revolutionary again was gone, I was able to get to it and generate a beta key. It seems that the site is still up, and it is just the domain name that expired. So if you open the hosts file on your windows machine (located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc, and also be sure to run Notepad as administrator in order to edit it), just add this line there:

176.9.40.155 revolutionary.io

Testing out the Galaxy Tab S2 4G LTE version. So far I will be keeping the Tab S2! I wasn't going to upgrade from my Tab S, but after these last two days of using it on the road, it is a premium tablet! Samsung has come a long way from previous builds, not that I didn't like them just has stepped up.

Here is a look at the Galaxy Tab S2 4G LTE, it is a bit long as I was testing out the 4G LTE with Verizon SIM and AT&T. Also some web browsing and overall look.

it's good to have a tablet with the phone features, though sometimes it feels not so convenient as a phone.

nice video.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Brittany_Menton:
With Google Voice, pretty much anything with access to the internet and a microphone can place calls and receive them. It does come in handy at times.

Honestly i don't see much a point for a tablet to place calls outside of google voice, because that would mean you have a separate phone number.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ElCamino:
Thank you...
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ElCamino:
Thanks... Yes this wouldn't be as convenient to use as a phone, but would work if someone wanted to use a Bluetooth headset and a Smartwatch.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ElCamino:
Yes I don't think I would use the tablet as a phone, maybe only as backup with a Bluetooth headset. Maybe I can see using it in the car as a phone where you can pair it your car or just use the Bluetooth headset.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] jetbruceli:
I have the tab s 8.4 lte version and when my S6 was sent in for repairs, I used the tablet as a phone. It was great! The size wasn't that bad to hold up and with the built in ear speaker, I may have looked weird talking on it but it worked just fine. More so, I purchased the LTE version because its great to have Data anywhere.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] blue13x:
Also got the the LTE version. You can also whatsapp on it. It basically a giant S6
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ElCamino:
What carrier you using your Tab S2? I call my Tab S2 9.7 the big Note 5++ ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ProStreetCamaro:
Just got mine today. Took the ATT sim out of my ipad air 2 and slipped it in and it shows the network bars but wont connect to any data. 4G lte worked fine in the air 2. It is an add on line for our mobile family plan. I guess I need to call att and have them provision the sim for the S2? The sim out of my S6 active works fine it the S2.

EDIT: Ok they set it up with the new imei and it is working fine now with just one issue. It shows 4G and not lte like it did with the sim out of my S6. It is getting the same LTE speeds as my S6 it just wont show actual LTE like it did with the sim from the S6. Doesn't bother me just kind of odd.

How do I access the phone call feature on my AT&T LTE 9.7 in version ? Don't see an icon or anything to make calls or is calling limited to certain tablets ?
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] mac231us:
I do not think carrier versions have calling function that is cellular..this is standard practice as on t705/707?, t325/320 etc...the carriers fault...not Samsung's just as iPad has no cellular calling just data capability..same as t335/337?, t230/231?/235/237? and so on....

I may have carrier model numbers wrong but my point remains

You need international version for cellular calling
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ElCamino:
Make sure the SIM is provision for LTE. For a Galaxy Note 5 that I had done a video for, it would only stay at H+, called and they changed it on their end. In the Tab S2 I have, it shows 4G at top but checking in settings, about devices, status. I can see that it shows its on LTE.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] ElCamino:
For model number it only shows SM-T815 and FCC A3LS MT 815.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] rwcherry100:
Just a few comments in defense of calling capability in a tablet.

There are several reasons you might want this:

1. You are carrying around a tablet and a smart phone, why not just carry one device, a tablet?

2. Smart phones are too small, you need something bigger for your eyes.

3. Your new vehicle demands a phone connection and you constantly forget your phone, both at home and in the vehicle. You plan to install a small tablet for a phone & also other uses so it is there permanently.

Comments:

1. No where is there a law that says your phone must be held up to your head. In fact, it is probably better that you don't do that (radiation). Modern technology allows other ways of communicating.

2. T-Mobile has the 'DIGITS' feature in progress where 1 number (your number) can be used for multiple devices. Hence NO NEED to get a second number.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] YrrchSebor:
I have the T719 and it is my only phone at the moment! I am liking having a large device for my apps and internet, and the only really hurdles have been not being able to pocket the device, and calls in public can be cumbersome without a headset. But in the car with Bluetooth it's exactly the same, and it's not an issue at home at all.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] rwcherry100:
What is the exact model of your T719 including the letter if any after the 719? I am still looking for a model to install in my car to use as the car phone, same number as all devices using T-Mobile Digits.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] YrrchSebor:
It's simply SM-T719, no carrier affiliation at all. It isn't sold in the U.S. except online. The guy I got it from gave me the link to a great site that ships to the U.S. very quickly. It's in another thread here, couldn't find it just now but will find it if you're interested ? Oh, and it seems to have full Penta band LTE, so it even supports T-Mobile perfectly. Between all that, and the snapdragon processor. I couldn't be happier with it.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] YrrchSebor:
Update: I found the link to the site where my friend got his(the one I bought from him): http://ngpstoreusa.com/product/samsung-galaxy-tab-s2-8-0-t719-factory-unlocked-gsm
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Limeybastard:
I loved your comments. I feel the same way. Any advice on which model to get that will work on T-Mobile USA would be much appreciated. So far the international sm-t819 is the only one that comes to mind. However I was disappointed when I realized that it also misses another band as well as band 12 for use with TMO USA.

I was using the Sony Z4 tablet prior which had all the t mobile bands Inc LTE 12 for data albeit not VoLTE supported on network.

Was almost going to pull the trigger on a smt819 .
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] YrrchSebor:
I have the T719 and absolutely love it. Using it as my big smartphone on T-Mobile, I believe it has all the bands? No VoLTE tho.

http://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/6cb73c1c
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Limeybastard:
So the bands the T719 uses is same as T819

2G

850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G

850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

4G/LTE

1/2/3/4/5/7/8/17/20

So its missing AWS 1700 also? I just thought it was missing LTE 12.

EDIT:

From a little research I just did it appears the two below models have AWS band UMTS (3G)

SM-T819YZKEXNZ

SM-T819YZKEXSP

Which means support for all bands in USA Tmobile except for LTE 12. which I can live with.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] YrrchSebor:
What does this mean for actual coverage/performance? Maybe ignorance has been bliss for me, but I've had perfect LTE performance on T-Mobile, as well as cell calling and texting. Granted I am in Los Angeles and haven't been covering a tremendously huge amount of ground, mostly been sticking to a 5-mile radius lol.
[Galaxy Tab S2 General] Limeybastard:
I contacted the seller via their ebay page, they never got back to me asking for the full model number. I dont think I will be buying from them. I also contacted another member on ebay selling these and they simply stated the model was SM-T819, which I call bull**** since there is more letters of the numbers.Probably just dropshoppers.

With respect too what I originally mentioned, the SM-T719 nor the SM-T819 fully support all of the T Mobile USA bands. Example band 12 LTE is not present, nor is the UMTS band 4 AWS 1700/2100. Currentlyyou will be using band 2 and 4 for LTE which is sufficient for data as well as 2g band 1900Mhz for voice dialing and UTMS band 2 1900Mhz for data also.

That is my understanding, hopefully anyone else could correct findings please do.

The closest model to support all the T Mobile USA bands was the Model New Zealand version Singapore,which has the added AWS 1700/2100 radio. to the above. None have band 12.
