[Verizon LG G2] chegue4:
hello guys

i juste wanna buy an LG G2 VERIZON, but used, and it's now unlocked it can work with all operators

but i really plan to update it to a lollipop, so will it be relocked again after update ? because i don't have the unlock code, and also i don't know if it's officially unlocked or by another method, how can i check that if there is really another method

i ask theses questions because it happened to me with a SONY XPERIA SP, it was unlocked and everything ok, after update fail i tried repair with : pc companion, and i get a phone simlocked grrrrrrr

so i don't want to live an experience like that again
[Verizon LG G2] theFume:
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was a requirement for Verizon to unlock these phones due to some FCC settlement over spectrum? I think you'll be fine.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoran81:
Hello to all.

I have some data issues with my Z2.

I'm on t-mobile HR (croatia).

So, if the phone is set to preffer LTE data network and when I leave WiFi network the phone can't connect to data network, if there is no LTE network. Than I must set the phone to preffer 3G, phone connects to 3G or 3G+, and than to 4G when I set it to preffer 4G again.

When the phone is set to preffer 3G than if I leave WiFi the phone immediately switch to 3G.

In both casses, after the data network is found (3G, 3G+) and I set the phone to preffer the LTE phone switch to 4G.

I foud this problem since the phone is updated to 4.4.4 Kitkat and now I'm on 5.1.1. Lollipop (.264 version) and the problem still persist.

Please help me to solve it because it's really annoying.

And yes, the whole area is covered with 4G signal, but sometimes is weak.

Hi all,

I am thankful to zeroepoch for the root, it worked right away on W10.

But now my hassles start.

I want to make the AFTV4K my Living Room HTPC which displays weather information while idle. Also I would like to add NAS functionality via SAMBA. Besides checking Google Now, GMail, Calendar of course.

Now my first problem is getting the Google Play Store to work, the way it has internet access and it can download and install apps. Right now I got it installed following a German guide on aftvhacks.de but it has no internet. That is where that forum got stuck. They claim it is normal when not rooted. But I have root (SU).

Second one is mouse and keyboard. Anyone have an idea how to connect a USB keyboard and mouse?

And the launcher. FireStarter does not start after rebooting. Anyone got a status on that issue? How would I make Google Now the default launcher.

By the way, 5.0.3.1 is which Android exactly?

Best regards,

Ricky40

Hey Ricky,

a couple of these issues have been covered around here somewhere, If I felt like being a good XDA member, I'd link em to you, but I don't feel like hunting the answers down.

autorun FireStarter on boot:

You can use Tasker to auto run any app on boot, if you are not familiar with tasker, I recommend putting it on your phone and playing with it a bit before putting it on your AFTV2 it is just easier to work with on the phone until you are comfortable (I am by no means good with it, but I've been able to get it to do most of the things I wanted and just learned about autoinput and autovoice, which if they work, will be awesome on the AFTV2).

I have a wireless mouse working on my AFVT2 right now, and intend on validating the KB at some point today too. I am using a Logitech cordless wave MK550 (although that is the current model, mine is 10-12 years old and does not appear to have the model number on it)

I've been working on getting play store working as well. I have a feeling it's because the Amazon build prop device id is black listed on Google play.

Should be able to change the I'd to the Google nexus player and get it to work but have not attempted it yet.
[Fire TV General] BagiMT:
I have been working on this too. I tried replacing the DownloadProvider.apk and DownloadProviderUi.apk with an AOSP version and a patched version (patching the checkInsertPermission function) but Google Play Store still can't connect.

Good start.

I think the best bet is to pull apart ( unzip ) the xposed module that fixed play store on the fire tv gen 1 and see what files it modified and possibly just moving those to the ftv2
[Fire TV General] BagiMT:
No need to look at HDXposed code from the .apk file. The source code is on github. Link to the source code here:

Just realized that there are patches for both DownloadProvider and ContentProviderProxy. There should be a way to patch those two files and replace them.

[Fire TV General] BagiMT:
You will need to install four apps for the Play Store to work:

com.google.android.gms.apk (google play service)

GoogleLoginService.apk

GoogleServicesFramework.apk

com.android.vending.apk (play store)

Look as step 3 here:

http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-install-the-google-play-store-on-the-amazon-fire-tv/

and at discussion here:

http://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-hdx/themes-apps/how-to-install-gapps-root-t2954372

This will allow you to add your Google account (and possibly authenticate purchased apps that you sideload) but Play Store is unable to connect. For that we will still need to patch the system files or install the Xposed module (which is not possible due to the locked bootloader).

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jdc:
So, after discussing the options to repair my old blue angel (cracked digitizer :( ), the accountant (AKA The Wife(tm)) gave me the green light to get a hermes.

My question: Which one to get? I know of the first generation having the touchscreen problems and loose keyboards, but I can't seem to find anything that identifies the models that have these problems.

I see on ebay and various places the occasional Softbank. I am aware of the "dangers" of getting a softbank that is not unlockable/flashable, but with a price usually considerably lower than the other versions of the phone (HTC, Vodaphone, etc), they are tempting, but if they are already unlocked, I question the ability of the unit to accept different ROM's.

Anyone have any advice on what to look for/versions to avoid? Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JR_de:
Why don't you get the HTC TyTN II aka HTC Kaiser?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] PPCNUT:
I would wait until the Kaiser is out and get that. It will be the latest and no need to upgrade for a while.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Toleraen:
If you're sure you want to go with a Hermes (nothing wrong with that) instead of waiting on the Kaiser, take a look at this wiki page for problems with different models. At this point I don't think there are really any major problems on the newest models.

Also, when I shopped around for mine the 8525 was generally the cheapest available here in the states. If you go with an 8525, maybe look for an AT&T branded phone, as that should be one of the newest production models (won't get stuck with an old one with alignment issues).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jdc:
Well, as much as I would love to get a Kaiser, the cost is high enough that it is not really an option. I'm seeing the Hermes going for around $400 to $500 used, with pre-orders for the Kaiser for almost $800. I may try to go that route still. :)

I've looked at the wiki, however, as is the case, sometimes people don't have the time to update it, so I thought I'd check with those who are currently using them now.

And the 8525... I've avoid that one. Something about AT&T/Cingular removing features from the phone and the fact that I'm seeing a more of those for sale over any other model kind of worries me.

I really like the look of the softbank, I'm just worried that if I get one unlocked, that it was done in a way that would prevent me from flashing a custom ROM on it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Ragart:
Well, I recently bought a Softbank X01 for myself. The stock I got seems to have been made in July and so far it's performing nicely. The ebay seller said it was unlocked for use on the networks in my area (Rogers Canada) and sure enough it is. It also came flashed with a Dopod ROM of WM6 which was a bonus for me, as I 've never flashed ROMs onto things before.

The only problem was the keyboard layout didn't match what the software thought it was -- that is to say, I just had to tweak which keyboard version I had installed and then all symbols on hardware keyboard were in correct position.

If it helps, here's the seller I got it from. I did the local pickup, but they apparently have shipping too.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/New-SoftBank-X01...ryZ64355QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Toleraen:
For the record, the only thing different about the 8525 is the lack of the front facing VGA 3G video camera. Since there is no 3G video call capabilities in the US, there's no need to have it. The 8525 is a HERM100 device. See here for an explanation.

The likely reason that they are available all over is the fact that AT&T subsidizes the cost of the phone. For instance, I can buy the phone through my business account for $300 with free activation, free shipping, etc. If I wasn't lazy, I'd pay the $300 and sell it on ebay. Also, the 8525 is the only one available from a carrier in the US. So if you're looking on ebay.com, that's just what you're going to see. Just like you'd probably see a lot of Dopods in south east Asia.

There's nothing wrong with the 8525. Other than the front camera, the only differences between the 8525 and any other Hermes is purely cosmetic. I've had mine for 6 months, and it's been rock solid.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jdc:
*snip*

Thank you, that's good to know. I do have to admit that the price difference is considerable enough that it is tempting.

I would just hate to get one then tomorrow T-Mo/AT&T/some new carrier named grasshopper ;) announces that they are rolling it out in my area.

I'm sure the chances of that happening are about as much as a little man dressed in red starting a brisk trade in ice skates, but one never knows. :D

Is there any software that makes use of the front camera if one is not using it for video calls?

Oh, I can't seem to find an answer on this one either: Can the hermes make/take a voice call while the data (GPRS/EDGE/whatever) is active?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Doom Tints:
The 8925/"Tilt" is coming out on Monday. The price difference will likely only be $100 to $150. I'd probably go with the Tilt instead if it is within your budget.

It can take voice calls when the data is active. Most of us probably keep the data connections active all the time.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Toleraen:
You can take a call while using data, but if you're on GPRS/EDGE the data will disconnect while you're on the call, but automatically reconnect. If you're in 3G coverage you can use both at the same time. I'm pretty sure that's true for any phone though. I don't believe T-Mobile in the US has rolled out any 3G coverage either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jdc:
OK, thanks for all the info. It's given me some things to consider and think about. :)

[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
I have the same problem (the band actually separated from the mechanism that attaches the band to the watch, it is not actually separated from the case) and am bummed I did not get the sport version. Since I was using one large and one small strap, I have reversed the ends and can still wear the watch but who knows for how long.

However, I am using the failure as an opportunity to try and fashion a way to adapt the spring loaded mechanism to attach a standard watch band. I am still in the planning stages and will post something if I actually make it work.

Gear S2 strap problems

Give it time - I have had mine for 2 months. Strap separated 2 days ago. Having a lot of problems getting Samsung CS to replace it under warranty. I would reccomend that you definitely buy the Classic. This watch band problem is not going away. New bands are $49 equal to the price of a Classic when you add the watch cost.
[Samsung Gear S2] fluidj:
Could the people having strap issues please provide a tad bit more background on their use patterns?

Did the straps fail when removing them from the watch case?

Had the straps previously been removed just to determine which size worked best for you?

Do you wear your straps tight or loose?

I think this will help get down to exactly what the failure point is and if some are going to be more susceptible than others. For instance; I'd ordered a warehouse deal one from Amazon and when it arrived it had the small size strap on it. So I attempted to switch out the band to the larger size but the buckle side band was nearly impossible to remove. Ultimately i got it removed, but the band pulled away from the metal bracket on one side. Eventually i had to return the watch anyway because the previous owner turned on reactivation lock :( But I can definitely see these bands prone to damage and failure when switching them out.
[Samsung Gear S2] jez924:
I like the classic watch but for some us its not an option as we need the 3G, GPS and speaker which does not come with the classic.
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
I think mine broke because I wear the watch when I sleep and I move around a lot and probably was dragging my arm under my body or something. Anyway, I could see the band separating from the mechanism for a few weeks before it actually came apart. Normally there is no separation between the mechanism and the band but it slowly started showing a gap between the strap and it's mounting point.

I do wear the band tight. Definitely had nothing to do with removing the band from the watch.

I have been traveling all week and have not had time to try my idea for a retrofit to use a standard watch band but I have a strategy. Should cost next to nothing (<$2US) but it may not look great. I will try tomorrow.

[Samsung Gear S2] Sophia Emma:
Hello, I am looking for a SmartWatch for Huawei Honor 6. Suggestions?
[Samsung Gear S2] droidnew:
Mine did the same thing. I did take the band off and noticed 2 small screws holding the connector part of the band to the rubber band itself. I was able to tighten those screws and the separation issue was fixed. However, I don't think I should have to tighten things that are coming loose on a watch that costs this much :)
[Samsung Gear S2] Bladder61:
My Guess on this sizing is: When you buy the watch the factory box comes with S & L straps. The additional bands will only be available in one size, Medium which will fit both small and large wrists.

Compare your new red M band with the original S & L bands that came with your watch. I wouldn't doubt they have taken a large band and possibly put more holes in it so it will fit most wrists.
