TmobUSA official wm6 releases

If im not mistaken, tmob U.S. has a wm6 rom for the mda(wiz) and the dash(x-caliber), I just flashed my wifes dash the otherday, but I haven't checked out the mda version, Im happy with NBD8.3 (for a week or 2) But they may not have been available at the time ...

Im an old school pir8, from the days of 1200baud, bbses, and the ARPANET, I have never given M$ a dime and I never plan to, I do buy some apps, but not many :)

In the eyes of M$, we are running a pirated os, when we bought our phone, we got 1 license to use the wm5 rom that came with our phone.

Anybody know the exact terms of the license?

How are the "official" upgrades handled?

Has M$ ever charged for upgrades on a PPC OS in the past?

considering checking out rom flashers anonymous,

If the owner of the software, M$, isn't going to seek to protect their copyright then its a moot point "you can debate this all you want". It's not going to be piracy until M$ pushes the issue.

I disagree. First of all I buy my computers in parts which means that I get to choose my operating system. True, if I purchase Windows 2000 I don't have a valid license for Windows XP. But I can go and buy one if I want to use it. I don't have to buy a new PC for that. On the other hand, Windows mobile is not being sold separately, so my choice is either stick with my original (and really buggy and sluggish) Windows Mobile 5 that came with my Wizard, or install Windows Mobile 6 or 6.1. I don't see how Microsoft loses from this, apart from the fact that I am not buying a new smartphone, in which case they would benefit. But I wouldn't buy a new one just for that anyway.

Finally, I really don't believe Windows Mobile 6 is a new version of the operating system, I see it mostly as Windows Mobile 5 SP2, because most of the things I get are improvements and a few new features.

Now Windows Mobile 7 or 8 is a completely different story, and it won't be compatible with my Wizard anyway. They seem like NEW operating systems though:

Hi all.

Im trying to create a digital product catalog using some chinese android tablets.

I got root on them and they are running 4.4.2

I need an app that could possibly lock people inside a specific website with no option to enter website or such.

And to leave this they need to enter a password or similar.

Anyone know if here is such an app?

Or what apps i could use to achieve this?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Xeroman0:
Hello all, i have thoroughly searched the forum, but what i found sent mixed messages.

I currently own a moto x 2013 and have a pretty tight budget. I have found that the only phone that will fit my needs and is an upgrade is the droid turbo. (Not the moto maxx as it is too expensive)

Now, the problem is that i live outside of the US and i have gotten mixed messages about potential problems activating the phone. I have found a refurbrished unlocked one on ebay, but im afraid that it will not activate without a valid verizon sim card...

Does anyone have experience with this matter?

Thanks!

Does anyone have the stock OEM rom for the sm-n910a?

I have to do a factory flash, I ran into an issue with my unlock code and locked the phone on the network.

The ATT rep said that doing a factory flash will reset the counter and I will then be able to unlock the device.

I looked on Samobile and didnt find it.

I AGREE WITH EVERYONE ON HERE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR ATT IS HORRIBLE. I've called 3 times and the guy i bought the phone off of who was the original owner of the phone has had to call 3 times. im starting to check and see if i can get a different version of the note 4 to see if it can run on Straight Talk because the whole way that ATT has this note on lock down is B.S. and even going through them for the unlock process makes me want to throw the phone out the window.

Hello,

I'm running a Verizon 2013 Moto X with its bootloader unlocked by SunShine. Will the Lollipop update that is getting pushed out relock the bootloader? I'm anxious about taking the update without knowing if there will be a way to root again afterward.

Thanks!
[Moto X Q&A] billycar11:
they never relocked the bootloader with any other phones with updates like the razr hd so they probably wont on the x and its easy to root when you are unlocked just flash super su through a custom recovery

[Galaxy Note 3 General] KartofeLone:
That's right, I have solved the unsolvable :P

I had very poor battery life, worse than on my old Note 2 (and I was on custom ROM and kernel, cpu running 1,92 Ghz and GPU highly OCed)

I tried stoping Samsung Apps, Unified Demon(EUR), turning BT, GPS off, brighteness down

I tried deleting cache partition

I tried Factory Wipe + deleting cache partition

I tried GSAM app and Snapdragon BatteryGuru

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING worked... :mad:

System Android + Core System was always draining battery the most

and then I tried to flash newer ROM with ODIN and faild miserabely (briked the phone LOL :P :silly: it was turning on only to Download Mode :mad: ) then tried different ROM and faild again

Lastly :fingers-crossed: I flashd the same ROM I was on before which is: N9005XXUGBOB6 and GAME ON, SCORE, WIN :D BOOM all is fine in the universe again and battery is lasting as it should last !!! :victory: :cool: :D

OK the important thing here (I think) is to flash the ROM by ODIN. Previously Lollipop was installed by OTA and IMHO it is somehow buggy method and screwing the battery life.

Enjoy and let me know if it worked for you too.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] PlutoDelic:
Im afraid you havent told us anything new. I remember D4 of 4.4.2 being the most battery efficient release, but no release has been the same for me battery wise. There are releases where i got 2 days of battery with 4 hour screen time, and a single day with 2 hour screen time.

We never know wtf happens on those sammy roms tbh. Root seems to help in a few cases, but that's not a solution for all of us.

Hi All

I am truly desperate.1

I was wondering if anyone could assist me with this proplem.

I rooted the phone with kingroot and I did it straight from the tablet.

ROM manager installed and one of my kids deleted a MTK folder. Since that deletion I am unable to load up and is stuck in a boot loop. Seems the XTOUCH has no back up which was performed hence the continuous boot loop experienced. Operating system is Android version 4.4,2.

Is there anyway of recovering the operating software or making the system boot up?

The tablet goes into reset and load from memory but there is none.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks

[Sprint LG G3] Dragour1041:
I successfully installed CyanogenMod 12 on my LG LS990, but I'm having some problems involving the SIM card. My carrier is Cricket (or AT&T), and I am able to send and receive calls and text messages, as well as download and browse the internet. The speeds are very fast.

However, it gets wonky most of the time. On the notification menu for my G3 as well as the phone setting, it is still listed as Sprint. It will also turn off randomly and show an "R" at the top and will glitch out. On several occasions, a pop-up will show up and say something like "com.phone.android has stopped working" and the bars at the top will disappear all together. This seems to happen when I turn the display off or put it to sleep

On the mobile data settings,I have put data roaming on, LTE, CDMA roaming to automatic and "NV". I am not sure what most of these settings mean, but on the access points menu " cricket" is checked. I cannot change the NV setting to SIM.

I receive notifications from Cricket. Texting and Calling works completely fine. I'm wondering why it stops working for a while when I put the phone to sleep or why everything is listed as Spring when it isn't. Thanks.

Hi

I just booted my Galaxy Note 5 SM-9208(Made in China).

However, I am seeing something that I feel is not normal. The wallpapers look like as if they have been spray painted(need to look a bit closer). This is some sort of graininess or pixelation over the screen.

Is it due to Pen Tile Effect which is natural for an AMOLED display? Or it is my eyes? I had Galaxy S6 for 2 months but this thing was not visible on S6. Even if it is Pen Tile effect it should not be visible at QHD resolution in my view.

It is most prominent over grey backgrounds. Here are my snaps:-

Hi, I know this is a fairly repeated topic, however I am really desperate to fix this as I have really important info in my phone that just won't start after the battery died.

A bit about my device:

Bought in March 2013

Could not switch on at all, after the battery died last Tuesday 9 Sept 2015

Past few weeks it has been charging intermittently (I thought that it was really a loose cable) but it charged normally on other cables including plugging into my iMac. This time it actually turned off completely whilst I was charging it on my iMac and I still can't get it to turn on.

Tried solutions: Replaced my phone battery with a fairly new battery from my mum's phone (she uses the same model) and it still won't start. Recovery mode also didn't work.

I am afraid if it had bricked itself? :( :(:confused:

I have thought about going to Samsung service centre, but I am afraid that they will wipe off my data, I really really need to retrieve all my info, at least to jump start the device. I have a lot of precious information in there. I am thinking of removing the board and putting it into a new S3 mini case, to see if it could actually start, or try to read the NAND chip? Yes I've been reading up on all sorts of solutions. I'm really feeling anxious. If anyone has any advice, please help share. Thank you so much. I'm very desperate :(:crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] O's:
Trying to save some sentimental photos and videos, so formatting isn't an option.

I'm wondering what other methods I can try to mount an SD card and copy the media files. I don't have a Note right now, but the card was last used on a T889 running DittoNote3.

The card hasn't worked since the phone, and I haven't had an opportunity to test it on another T889. I don't know if it's as simple as a permissions issue from using a custom ROM, or if something worse has happened.

Whenever I put the card into a full-size SD adapter and insert it in a PC reader slot or card adapter, the PC prompts to format it.

Trying to mount it on other Android phones brings up a "file system not recognized" message.

Is there another way to mount the card and retrieve the files? Anyone else with this?
