[XDA Assist] OfficerJimLahey:
Hello, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

I find those things inaccurate, as the notification area estimate (including percent complete) rarely matches (or comes close to) the Play Store app estimate. That also begs the question on responsibility...are you talking having time remaining within the app, or in the notification area?

Right now for either, it's a fight against time. With the former, you are dealing with an older version of Google Play and Google Play Services, the responsibility of Google and that version (guessing 6.x where current is 8.x) is critical security updates only (if any at all) - no feature requests allowed. The latter scenario, probably relies on the former for information, but if not, it would be the responsibility of your ROM developer (e.g. Samsung Touchwiz 4.2/CM10.1/et cetera). They are in the situation of getting only critical security updates (if any at all) as well. After all, Android 4.2.1 enters it's fourth year of existence in November, and the attitude of Google is once a new codename has been officially released, all attention goes towards the new version (so the older stuff quickly becomes "abandonware").

CyanogenMod has been good on keeping older Android versions alive. Not so much for themselves, but for the older ROM's that borrow their code. The recent StageFright problem (dubbed SF1.0 as there is now a new batch of vulnerabilities) CM went back as far as 10.1/4.2.2 to patch the problems. With latest SF2.0 and the recent release of Marshmallow/6.0 I don't know if CyanogenMod will go that far back for their fixes this time (I am watching, as I have some Android 4.4.4 stuff to patch and plan to base off of CM11).

That was the long. The short being, since 4.2.1 is no longer a priority, I don't see it happening. Sorry.
[HTC Vox] RpR:
I've been flashing around with english roms to see if it changed the bloody problem with the phone going into a reboot loop if a SD card is inserted.

This didn't fix it, and now there's apparantly no danish rom available from Telia, and since this isn't a Dangaard branded phone I dont have access to the ROMS on www.qtek.dk :-(

If anyone has a nordic rom of sorts, please save me from binning the phone :(

Edited the title to make more sense now :)
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
If ur phone only reboots with sd card inserted it means something on the sd card is causing it. Format your sd card on a PC and try again.
[HTC Vox] RpR:
That's obviously the first thing that came to my mind aswell. I've tried formatting it, I've tried using a different card, etc. No use. Ends up in the reboot loop with a card inserted, boots fine without it. I can then insert the card after the device has booted without problems, but next time WM6 hangs or whatever, same problem.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Have u tried resetting the device by pressing left and right softkey simultaneously and then power on? Alternatively try the clear memory program in the experts folder.
[HTC Vox] RpR:
Tried hardresseting it and using the clear memory program yes :(
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Well then it can only be a hw defect. Get it serviced.
[HTC Vox] RpR:
I've read others have this problem aswell on some of their phones. I can't really turn it in for service with a non-nordic rom anyway, so if noone has a nordic ROM they can share I'll prolly end up whacking it with a hammer...
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Is your device CID unlocked and can you flash any ROM?

Have you tried flashing the Dopod 1.19 ROM?

What exact ROM version was on it (version#)? Did you then down- or upgrade it and to which version? Did you make a backup of the ROM using pdocread as described in the wiki?

I would leave the hammer in ur toolbox for now. I'm pretty sure the thing can be rescued if it is indeed caused by a bad flash.
[HTC Vox] RpR:
The problem wasn't caused by a bad flash, I bought it secondhand only about 2 months old, and it's had it straight out of the box. Obviously the seller didn't know anything about it having this quirk...

I tried flashing it with the 1.19 dopod ROM (Had 1.14 nordic ROM initially), still same problem. I did a backup with pdocread, but can't make pdocwrite work, complains it can't write to the filesystem.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Since your device is obviously CID unlocked, it looks feasible to create a flashable file from your pdocread backup. Take a look at my bootloader thread, there is a link to another thread where that is covered.

I personally believe the previous owner CID unlocked your device and maybe it didn't completely work in the way it should. Please make a backup using "bkondisk" and post the IPL (128kB) and the SPL (512kB). I can check these files, perhaps the hw is not properly set up by any of these.
[HTC Vox] RpR:
Isn't the IPL and SPL replaced in the standard RUU flashes?
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Normally yes, but in ur case maybe it is skipped.

Why don't u dump it so we can check it.

Radio is also interesting.

would be nice if you upload it to XDA developers FTP site
[HTC Vox] RpR:
Great! I've sent you a PM, can't get your email from this board :-)
[HTC Vox] RpR:
I've now flashed it back to the danish rom, and done some further testing.

I've found out that the phone boots fine with either the simcard OR the SD card inserted, but not both at the same time.

I've also found out that this problem seems to be a problem with 64k simcards, and not 32k simcards.

With a 32k simcard everything is just peachy.

Anyone got suggestions?
[HTC Vox] RpR:
Edited the title to make more sense now :)
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Seems that both 64k sim and sd cards draw too much current.

Looks like a HTC design flaw.

Did u try other sd cards?
[HTC Vox] RpR:
Tried another 1gb card, they're both Kingston though. Both work fine in my P4350 / Herald.
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
Try with another brand and smaller sd card.

And now that you have your nordic rom back on, I'd also request service from HTC.
[HTC Vox] RpR:
If they draw too much power, how come I can insert the card after boot and it'll work fine?
[HTC Vox] jockyw2001:
It's just speculation. It may also be a driver issue or both.

It can be that HTC is already aware of the issue and will release a rom update some time.

It also happens with a 2GB no-name sd in my s710. Actually it usually boots fine if I reboot right after it happened.
[HTC Vox] RpR:
Ive had mine lying around in the reboot loop for over 20min without much luck :/

Too much hassle, it'll be delivered back to the shop i think, I'll stick with the Herald.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
I'm considering upgrading from the VK810 to the VK815, and when looking at the specifications all over the Internet, it shows that the VK810 has GLONASS reception but the VK815 doesn't. Since much(most? all?) of the specs on the Internet are simply copies of data from another site, my question is, did LG leave it out of the device, or just the specs?

One sure way to find out, is for someone with a VK815 (LG G Pad X8.3) to install the "GPS Status" app, start it, let it run for a few minutes in a good reception location, and then note if any of the satellites displayed on the compass rose, are squares (for GLONASS) rather than circles (for GPS).

The specs also seem to suggest that the VK815 lacks a compass, but I doubt that. At any rate, the above app will show that as well.

Edit: Having now ordered the VK815, I will answer these questions myself in the next few days.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
Dumbass marketing

Answer: It has a functioning compass, and it's receiving a strong signal from FIVE GLONASS satellites at the moment.

Why doesn't the marketing arm of these companies understand that there are quite a few people out there that understand the importance of specifications (eg, "battery life" is not a specification, "battery capacity" is) in making buying decisions? Just because marketing bimbos (I use that term in its equal opportunity sense) don't understand them, is no reason to leave them out of publications (like manuals?).

Good afternoon all you XDA-ers out there, so ive been looking to see what the PUK code is and how it can be used on our devices. Im trying to network unlock it, and i have the PUK code, just wondering if that can be used somehow to unlock it. Thanks in advace for any/all help :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
Ok, so sprint told me that the device is unlockable with the msl. If the phone is deactivated, you type #7465625*638*# in the dial pad, and the phone will ask you for a code which is your msl. Once entered it will be network unlocked and usable on any network. If you reactivate it on sprint, it'll network lock back to sprint, but you should be able to repeat the process to unlock it again :) this is untested, but this info came directly from sprint so take it for what it is. If anyone is brave enough to try it, just know that its UNTESTED at this point still
[Moto 360 2015] mched:
Anyone planning on putting a screen protector on there 360?

If so which Brand and Type?
[Moto 360 2015] maurico0o:
Definitely, I'm scared to death when walking past a brick wall or any hard object at the height of my wrist.

As a matter of fact mine just arrived today: The Nillkin Ultra clear AF. Which is for the original moto 360.

This is the only one available in my country and it fits, sort of. The protector stretches to the end of the glass, but i'm afraid it may be 0.01 mm too wide and come off easily... Only time will tell how it holds.

UPDATE:

Original moto 360 1st gen protectors fits and works like a charm.

It's really good for the price.

I've used one on both the new and the old Moto 360 and I'm sure that I have saved my display several times because of the damage taken by the screen protector.

I am using Watchmaker Military Digital v3.2_pro by Iguana. On the watch information screen, it shows Motorola 360, Huawei, Huawei watch. Does this mean that it is a Motorola rebranded as Huawei?

Nope. Don't think so. I think the watchface just doesn't recognize the Huawei Watch as a watch and somehow classifies it as a moto 360.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nomoclutch:
I have 2 files that keep showing up in my root directory:

interface_type.txt

protocol_type.txt

I delete them, bu they come back. Strange thing is they seem to grow over time. They both seem to be some kind of log file, but I have no clue as to what program is creating them. Eventually they both get to around 4 or 5 MB and it locks up the device when memory runs out. I do a soft-reset, go to file explorer and delete them and all is well for several days.

I could start deleting programs until it goes away, but I was hoping someone might know right away from the filenames.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weedy2887:
First off, I run linux. This isn't a problem of drivers (at least it shouldn't be).

I've had Slim 9.0 on my tablet for what seems like forever. I haven't needed to plug it into a PC for over a year. Couple months ago I wanted to change what I had installed so I tried to plug it in. My laptop sees nothing at all.

It's normally really obvious when I plug in ANYTHING USB, example:

==> /var/log/kern.log <==
Oct 23 00:50:09 localhost kernel: [1566149.116799] usb 1-4: new high-speed USB device number 41 using ehci-pci
Oct 23 00:50:09 localhost kernel: [1566149.241670] usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=6765
Oct 23 00:50:09 localhost kernel: [1566149.241682] usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
Oct 23 00:50:09 localhost kernel: [1566149.241689] usb 1-4: Product: A0001
Oct 23 00:50:09 localhost kernel: [1566149.241696] usb 1-4: Manufacturer: OnePlus
Oct 23 00:50:37 localhost kernel: [1566178.011617] usb 1-4: USB disconnect, device number 41

Now, my USB port felt kinda poop so I've ordered and installed a new USB board. Still nothing on my PCs.

Now the tablet will show AC/USB on the battery page depending on where I plug it in to charge. So I thought it might be the kernel but I swapped kernels and that didn't help. It doesn't show up in the bootloader or in fastboot either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Where do I go from here?

Is USB just dead?

[Samsung Gear S2] JazzMac251:
I recently bought the Gear S2 after using my Gear 2 Neo daily for almost a year.

I used my Neo for:

- Occasionally taking calls via Bluetooth when my hands were otherwise occupied (e.g. carrying stuff).

- Occasionally controlling the TV via IR blaster

- Tracking my sleep habits, how much I was getting and how much tossing/turning I did that night

- Timekeeping

- Notifications

For reasons I can't really fathom, the Gear S2 only does the latter 2. I can't really understand why Samsung would remove those features from their flagship smartwatch line. What's more, I REALLY can't understand why this watch is getting ABSOLUTELY RAVE reviews across the board. It's almost like people didn't know the Gear 2 Neo even existed.

I guess it has something to do with the fact that sleep tracking, IR device control, and accepting phone calls via bluetooth are things MOST watches are incapable of for various reasons, so it's not much of a drawback from a reviewer's standpoint when those features are removed. As someone coming from the Neo to the S2, I have a hard time getting past the fact that I have an older, cheaper device that is far more capable sitting in a drawer unused. :/

Don't get me wrong, though. What the S2 can do it does do very well. The screen is gorgeous. The rotating bezel is brilliant. This version of Tizen is lightning fast and very intuitive. The "always on" feature is great, and notifications are handled much better. But I can't really escape the feeling that, while the Neo was a smartwatch, the S2 is just a $300 watch that can send text messages and receive email. :rolleyes:

Am I missing something here?

Oh, and for some reason I can't get mine to vibrate when text messages are received. Calls only. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Samsung Gear S2] obsydian:
I sold my lovely Gear 2 in readiness for the S2 thinking it would finally get better app support and a better UI on top of the camera and ability to make and receive calls.

What a disappointment, apps are worse or as bad as the prior 3 watches, no camera or calling !!!
[Samsung Gear S2] sefrcoko:
If you get a 3g model then it will have a speaker...therefore allowing for calls over bluetooth even if you don't have a sim card for the watch. On the sport models there is no speaker though. For the other functions like ir blaster, I guess they figured people don't use it as much and they had to cut something out to include new things like a different form factor, NFC, etc. Not defending, just saying they evolved to something else. Personally, I love my original gear s which basically has everything but the new round size of the S2.
[Samsung Gear S2] joshm.1219:
Yeah it's pretty crazy our Gear 2's are the still the most capable smartwatches on the market.
[Samsung Gear S2] supersoulfly:
Tends to happen when you strap a phone on your wrist instead of a watch.
[Samsung Gear S2] SRZ1977:
I don't understand. You say you have a more capable watch sitting in the drawer unused, yet you recently bought a new S2 that is less capable and you are using it. Why not return the S2, use your Neo and save $300 bucks. Just because the S2 is out now, doesn't mean that your Neo can't be used again.

I had a Moto 360 V1 and Gear Fit, I returned both of them after a while because I didn't like them for one reason or another. No point in keeping unused depreciating assets like phones and wearables IMO, it's not like a classic Bugatti or classic Rolex that you can pass on or will gain value.

As far as the S2 is concerned, I think it will outsell all other Gear watches combined easily. The general public just doesn't want the whole entire kitchen sink in their watches. This is evident by previously poor Gear sales. Sure, they will lose some previous Gear customers, but they are gaining many more. That's the way business works unfortunately, maximum unit sales for maximum profits. I will say though that the BT version of the S2 really needs a speaker and Google voice recognition.
[Samsung Gear S2] CehowardNote3:
Ha, you cannot stop the inevitable. That point that most of the posters in this thread are making, is that Samsung DROPPED a lot of features and that didn't go over well with a segment of Samsung smartwatch users. I was in the thread where they were saying the S2 was selling out in Korea.. Wow, I figured that was just plain sales talk or there must be users that don't care about the PAST features that were on past Galaxy Gear Watches. Gear 2 was nice, but I even went for the Gear S, I am fully independent of my Note 4 if I choose to be.. They have put the S2 out there without a speaker, and they downsized it..

People are not talking against the S2 just to be talking, that's for sure..

Back to your comment, why don't Samsung just make a PLAIN WATCH, and leave all Tizen, email, and small tech stuff that you can do on the S2 alone?
[Samsung Gear S2] supersoulfly:
Get the S2 3g model if you want an independent experience. (why do people keep acting like this model doesn't exist and doesn't address most of the complaints prior S users have?)

As far as making a plain watch? I might consider wearing that before the monstrosities Samsung has put out before. Gear 2 and Gear S, lots of cool tech, but the only place I'd be seen wearing one is if I went to a Star Trek convention.
[Samsung Gear S2] GeorgeP:
This thread reminds me of a book I read years back: "Crossing the Chasm." It's about the challenge technology companies have selling to different kinds of customers: technology enthusiastic early adopters vs. the pragmatic broader market. According to the author, Geoffrey Moore, the former are an important way to launch an product in a new space, but represent a very small market. The latter are a much larger market but are not going to buy a product until it reaches a level of maturity, refinement, and clarity of purpose.

I usually consider myself an early adopter, but I gotta say, I really like the S2, but I had no interest whatsoever in the Gear 2 or Gear S. But for those who like that sort of product, hopefully there will continue to be options in future.
