Ah, thanks, that makes sense. Is there another thread that has an up to date version? Or once this is installed, can you update it via Google Play? I mean, I doubt there's many/any new features in newer versions, I just like to keep up to date. If I need to use this slightly older version I can live with that.

Not sure if this has already been discussed but I just installed the Dialer app from the play store, it was still listed as one of My Apps since I just was using the Nexus 6, and so far it's been working fine. After adjusting the permissions to allow it to use the location it finds local businesses and calls fine.

[Shield Tablet General] JuStAdsor:
Hi,

I am starting this thread hoping to find a solution to backup the working tablets so we will be able to revive them despite the kill switch being triggered.

The only solution so far seams to be by using nvflash in apx mode.

So far I have managed to boot my tablet in APX mode, but I have not done any other testing.

The tablet (still not killed one) is recognized by computer as being in APX mode.

Requirements:

1. Rooted tablet

2. Terminal app from Google play

Commands issued for APX mode:

1. Open terminal app and write "su" followed by enter to get root

2. Write "reboot" and press enter while keeping the volume up key pressed

Let's continue!

[Shield Tablet General] doomedromance:
I just received my replacement tablet a few days ago. My device has never been rooted or anything prior. I turned on the new device and started using it. I went back to my old device (connected to wifi and everything) and it still boot and i was able to use it all night. 2 days later I tried to use it and it powered on and everything was fine. I just rooted the mofo and installed a custom rom. I never seemed to have received the "kill switch"

The note in my package said to dispose of the device. So... I guess I now have 2 shields. My battery has never gotten warm, I dont use it very often though.
[Shield Tablet General] deltagreen88:
I don't really understand the issue here, can you confirm that the tablet is still active cf. not hit by the killswitch? Why would you get an apx connected message? On a working tablet you would be directly send to an adb/fastboot interface? Usually only the killed tablets would be recognized as apx when you then connect it to a pc.. People are looking for a solution on how to nvflash via apx mode, which is an nvidia proprietary protocol and probably won't be pushed any time soon, if ever.. Possible solutions are moving to linux at the moment, where people try to connect their bricked tablets in apx mode hoping that linux would recognize the drivers, eventually, and maybe use open source universal flashing tools to recover their bricked devices..

Yes, your tablet is still alive because you flashed another rom (and that's exactly what you should do to be sure to never get hit by the kill switch) - it is very likely that the kill switch isn't triggered immediately, and than the silent update might not hit immediately neither, you're very lucky, most of the people were hit in very few hours, they couldn't even get their research done before the trigger - that said: the best way is to root the old tablet before setting up the new one, and deleting tegraota.apk and its parent directory - as explained in bogdacutu's thread in this very forum, and/or flashing a new rom to not have any nvidia apps anymore.. You can do both if you even use multirom port for nvidia shield tablet.. I can manifest that all this is working since i did it - i tryed it all and do have 2x tablets now like many others too ;)

This isn't cool man, why steal from Nvidia? Or from anyone. Stealing is not OK.

Sent from my SM-N910T
[Shield Tablet General] wun_fiish:
not stealing XBlack, my tablet was getting hot before recall...I did researched and spent time and efforts to fix the issue which i did. Nvidia sends new tablets to cover their ass for potential law suites in case of a situation happening again. Specifically states to dispose or return and why return if they will dispose for you? Why dispose of a tablet when the user fixed it by the user community. Is it taking advantage YES, we are smart people, we fix it. It was their choice to send new tablets without having to receive old ones prior. In no way is it stealing, tucking it in my pants and walking out of a Best Buy or FRYs without paying for it is stealing. We as a community with fixed tablets can be looked at as beta testers who get to keep their prototype and are given a NEW updated consultation model. Pretty much sums it up you can look at it in any way you like but we as a smart community in no way are criminals that steal from NVIDIA. Thanks NVIDIA i will forever be a loyal customer who buys your products since i think they are great. thank you for my new updated tablet.6
[Shield Tablet General] ou2mame:
The problem is if you "fix" the tablet and then give it to else, and it catches fire, will nvidia be liable? They want the defective devices off the street, not disassembled and reassembled with non spec parts by potentially incompetent consumers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixaxis94:
My phone was running CM12.1 (a week old build). Obviously rooted and runs TWRP.

I texted someone and left my phone with the screen turned off for about an hour. When I tried turning on again, nothing happens. The battery was about 80% the last time I used it.

Things I've tried to get it to work:

1. Charging it with the wall charger. [Nothing happens. LED doesn't turn on, phone doesn't turn on]

2. Plugging it into my PC. [PC doesn't read it. LED/Screen unresponsive]

3. Tried vol down key + power to boot into the bootloader. [No response]

4. Tried vol down key + power, then plugged it into my PC without leaving the buttons and waited for a minute. [No response]

Can anyone explain what the hell went wrong with this? I just use my phone for calls/browsing/texting. Didn't overclock anything. It's been rooted since day 1 (2 years back), and I last installed the CM rom a week ago so it wasn't due to a bad flash.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NissanskylineN1:
Hey guys,

So as many of us know, 3/4g is not available on SIM 2. However I'm not sure if its a hardware or software restriction. Often, these are disabled via software due to compliance of wireless licensing. Is our SIM 2 hardware or software handicapped for SIM 2? If it is software disabled, can't we enable it unofficially through software just like 4G LTE on the Nexus 4?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glock24:
The phone has 2 modems, one for each SIM card. For SIM 2 the modem only supports 2G networks with GPRS data, although or phones are limited to voice only for SIM 2.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moyses:
It's a Hardware limitation
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sierramike:
Is it possible to get incoming calls from either SIM card or do we need to enable only one SIM at a time ?

Same question for the ZD551KL (Selfie), I read something like standby dual sim but I don't know if I misunderstood ... Not having the ability to get phone calls from either cards at the same time would loose all the pros for having dual sim ...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glock24:
You can have two calls at the same time, at least with the ZE551ML.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] floridaman:
I do believe the selfie is dual active LTE on both sim's. The zenfone 2 ZE551ML however used subpar hardware and therefor is only LTE on one sim and 2G on sim2 with even data being blocked by software. The Laser is dual standby with LTE on both sim's. The selfie is less money than their supposed "flagship" ZE551ML, you'd be better off with the selfie than you would this model, it has better up to date hardware. 2G is already being shut down, so what Asus sells as a dual sim phone is in essence a single sim. Asus makes no apologies for using subpar outdated hardware and their customer service is horrid, as is their person Khang who represents them online.

Dual Active is able to handle 2 calls on both sims at the same time. Dual Standby is 1 call at a time on each sim.

If you bought the ZE551ML sorry, but you got suckered like I did. If you didn't buy it yet, don't there are plenty of companies out there in the same price range offering up to date hardware. I would love to replace my sim2 modem, but Asus said that is not an option.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanagawaben:
2G data (edge etc) may be being shut down, but I haven't heard of gsm being shut down completely. Far too many handsets still out there that can't call on 3G or LTE.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sierramike:
Thanks for your reply. You're not the only one telling that 2G is being shutdown, but from my researches, it should not be shutdown in France before 2021. And I understand, still so many appliances using 2G connections ! And eh, I'm not buying the smartphone of my life, in 2 years I'll buy another one ...

Also, I searched, searched and searched again, cannot find another smartphone with dual sim, 4 Go RAM, 5,5" Full HD display for as little as 249€ ... And also a decent camera for that price ... I also read the audio part was great on this phone!

You're right, the Selfie seems great, would be a good choice for some magic selfies with my little son, but it lacks NFC and quick charge ... Also I read a review where the writer complained about poor audio quality : people called told him his voice wasn't clear ... That makes me a little bit afraid, for 299€ ...

Am I wrong on any concern?

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sooty84:
3GPP and GSM have notified all telcom around the world that 2G network (call/EDGE) will shutdown in order for rollingout bandwidth for 4G and above. this WILL be on the year 2017.

guys i work in telco for a living, my old company which i still keep in touch with also confirmed this. i'm in their rival company though but we are good friends.

the reason being it is going to shut down also because of every node in the telecom network is going toward a PS and CS is basically obsoleted.

PS=packet core switch, CS=circuit core switch

at this very moment, all telecom are doing a lot of changes to their core network, most are trying to change the sigtran to a TCP/IP kind. ok enough said these are the facts.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sierramike:
Sooty84, what country are you talking about?

I checked again, in France there is a contract between Orange and Free running until Jan 2018 for 2G/3G (more than 2 years from now on), and plans for 2024 ... New licenses are still renewed for 2G, I don't think carriers would pay for something shutting down in a year ... And there are a lot of M2M devices out there only supporting 2G connexions. I'm pretty sure 2G will survive for some years in France.

Anyways that's not the main subject of this thread.

And I finally ordered a Selfie, because I saw a photography comparison where picture quality was much better on the Selfie than on the ZE551ML. Hope I'll be happy with it !
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sooty84:
I'm in Singapore M1, previously i'm with Starhub.

3GPP told us to crease 2G network service by 2017, we are already preparing that. (moving MSC towards packet switching instead of ss7/sigtran link set)

I think you have to check again with your local telco again, the front line guys won't know about this, the sales guy probably won't tell you either.

BTW you stated 2G/3G, in my case i meant 2G only. 3G itself is a packet service and it will be telco fundamental. 2G gonna retire.

as i stated, they are cleaning this out because of limited radio bands,

they are making way for 4G and above to use these 800mhz 900mhz 1800mhz bandwidth. or at least cather extra for the 3G. this depend on what 3GPP want. all we know is to convert to packet switch due to retirement 2G network.

perhaps you wanna check with sorg, he is from chuanghwa telco in taiwan?

I have pTravelAlarm installed on my Treo 750 and whenever I set up an alarm (and I usually set up 3 or 4 alarms as I have bad habit of stopping it instead of snoozing), but if I dont wake up and press either stop or snooze, the pocket pc goes "dead".. it just stops responding... it just doesnt wake up no matter what key I press, it doesnt go off for next setup alarm, if ppl call me, it goes to voicemail after ringing, whereas its not actually ringing..... the only solution is a soft-reset and after that a message comes "Notification Error. Could not execute windows/pTAMgr.exe".. or something like that.....What could be the problem for this error??? I use Memaid and keep deleting the duplicates many times...

[Verizon LG G3] android-incredible:
A friend of mine wants to sale his unlimited data plan and I not sure if that is possible. if its possible what is the procedure to transfer his unlimited data plan to my account? He is on Verizon and he is going to leave Verizon to go to Google's project fi.
[Verizon LG G3] 6Binford:
It used to be possible. Now it's much more difficult. Sometime in the past year or so (was it when the Iphone 6 came out?) the computer ordering snafu allowed people to buy phone with unlimited data. People started doing this and selling the phone with the unlimited data plan. Once Verizon caught wind, they changed the rules so that if you did a 'transfer of ownership' they would force you to get a new data plan.

I haven't heard if anyone has found a way to work around this. Maybe add your name as co-owner, then a couple of months later remove his without doing the 'transfer of ownership'?
[Verizon LG G3] tech_head:
According to the data from the VZW website:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/my-verizon-faqs/#item7

It is still possible, but you must take over everything, including the number.

You cannot port the number out and just take the line.

His account must be current and you will be subject to a credit check.

Now you can change the number later, but he will lose that number forever.

I actually purchased this case in black. It just protects the back not the screen at all. In my opinion just finding a really good screen protector for the phone should be good. You can always replace the back. My experience working in the cellphone department at best buy has proven (to me atleast) that the cases that just cover the back and corners of the phone end up doing some damage to the phone themselves (as far as scratches on the corners and some wear) but I guess its better than the actualy drop would be

I did search both for this device and rooting in general, and there are a few threads; most with no responses, so I thought I'd try.

I'm looking to root a stock Ematic EGQ-780. Two possibilities came up via Google, One-Click-Root and KingoApp (which is also mentioned in a thread here). KingoApp is mentioned here as being a solution; but when I contacted them, they told me the EGQ-780 is not supported. One-Click-Root also has a page saying they support this tablet; but when I go through the procedure it stops when I'm told to select the correct model and build number and they have not not returned any attempts to contact them for the last 7-10 days or so. The tablet looks to be a pretty standard set-up of Kit Kat 4.4. My main reason to root is that I'd like to be able to change the settings so apps can access the SD card as the on-board storage is only 8 GB. This is a secondary device so it's not crucial; but it would be much more useful if I could root it. Thanks.
