help?

I currently have a Sim unlocked dash. I used the Surreal app unlock and that ran the SPL and received "ERROR 294 INVALID VENDER ID"

"This update utility cannot be used with your smartphone. Please check your update utility"

What should I do? Do I have to flash my phone to HTC wm5 instead of Tmobs wm5 than do the update? ANy help or links would be appreciated.

Thank you ahead of time.
[HTC Excalibur] chaznet:
Has to be CID -- read through the topics related to the upgrade.
[HTC Excalibur] baza23:
All working now. :D
[HTC Excalibur] TheBlueOne:
Works great!!!

:D

I waited to unlock my excalibur til yesterday, did it with gsmliberty, their service is so fast, I had my device unlocked 15 minutes after I paid, I had the same issue a lot of people has, Invalid vendor, model, etc, so I went to use another computer, with Win XP instead of Vista, and it worked perfectly.

I´m loving the changes, the battery runs longer, the sound is improved, and the HTML friendly inbox is great.

Good luck to those who are still having trouble with the update, try on another machine like i did!
[HTC Excalibur] m1keh:
Just did the upgrade as well, and all is looking good so far (46% - configuring device in the cold boot config)...

For the less-useful Y!Go app, cant you just remove the executables, and the link? And even in the registry cut it all out?
[HTC Excalibur] powerbook:
I think I will download this as my webmail is Yahoo.

However someone mentioned that it doesn't have Mobile Office. Is this likely to change? I've had to install a poxy TXT editor just so I can make notes. Being able to write word AND excel documents would really help me.

Any advice gratefully rec'd

debes hacer un hard reset. Me paso lo mismo y asi pude volver a usarlo

Apaga el celular, luego presiona las dos teclas programables y dale un click al boton de encendido, no lo dejes presionado, solo un click. lee la pantalla

you have to do a hard reset. It's happen to me, was the only way to use again.

turn off tour phone, later keep press the two soft keys and click the the power bottun, just a click. Don't keep press. then read the screen.

Do I need to CID Unlock my phone for this?

Well basically that's the question... Do I need to CID Unlock my phone for this ROM to install?

Hello Folks.

I have tried adding my various devices to my profile here - but it just does not work EXCEPT for the poor, tired Nexus 7 tablet which I barely even use & keep powered off, mostly.

My 'daily drivers', sitting right before me, in cradles are:

- An LG Optimus Dynamic II (LG L38C) running v 2.3.6;

- An LG Optimus Fuel (LG L34C) running v 4.4.

Lastly=>

Just sitting here, powered off (patiently awaiting a de-lobotomy) is an Alcatel One Touch Pixi Pulsar (A460G, TCL, mt6582) running 4.4.2 .

I wish I could somehow add these devices into my profile info here ?!?

Best Wishes to All.

poor nexus 7, why you don't use anymore?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtsnaab:
My main uses for my devices are VOIP over Wifi, and SMS vis textPlus.

I haven't quite decided what I'll use the Nexus 7 for yet...

It was a gift from a friend with a broken screen which has been repaired - but its case is touchy so it has to stay in the cradle or it does some odd stuff (like not powering up).

Also - it has downloaded the latest OS update and I am very hesitant to allow it to install as I've seen too much that I do not like about v5.x - whereas this tablet is already rooted v4.4.x .

I may just set it up to get weather updates and such so that it gets some use - it is just not a priority right now.

Thanks for replying !!

What are the things u don't like about lollipop? I upgraded my n7505 yesterday.... I feel it very responsive and clear... In my case Samsung added a lot of new stuffs :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vtsnaab:
Frankly - I tend not to trust 'updated' s/w - and after reading how many apps were not ready and/or not compatible with it, my thought was centered upon what I may need it for anyhow - and my answer was...AFAIK, nothing.

So I let it stay as-is, for now.

My bigger priority is getting my Alcatel phone rooted somehow so that it can be useful to me.

i want to buy Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML and i want to ask if the phone is good and recommended to buy

(sorry for bad english)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squo_85:
I can't see no better phone in this price, with this feature, so fast and smooth.

In my opinion its much better than Huawei it other Chinese and for that price its even better choice then Samsung or Sony (the last one -Sony - I was huge fun boy and I am still), but Zf2 is a bit chipper and still very, very ok.

If it was waterproof than it was perfect.

Seriously I recommend Zenny ZE551ML - works like a charm.

Just take it and enjoy.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohnad12:
the phone can live(work) for a 2 or 3 years ? and how about build quality
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squo_85:
My 2 years old son already tested few times.

Its still in one piece, without noises it looks like hard one.

Also few times had emergency drops out of hand and I can't see nothing wrong with it. I recommend to put it to silicon case at list - my silicon is helpful.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohnad12:
now i have a iphone 5s Which is better iphone 5s or asus ?

thanx for helping
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squo_85:
Comparing iPhone or even Sony to Asus isn't appropriate. That's obvious. But ZF2 also looks like should handle 2 years of using (even hard)

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiongkia:
Go for zf2. Its good and cheap. Definitely better than iphone5
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiXERH20:
Highly Recommend

I love my ZenFone 2 (ZE551ML). I was very upset when I screwed my phone up after rooting it. I thought all was lost because I had voided my warranty. I was able to send it back to Asus via the RMA process and I was presently surprised when they restored my phones firmware to their specifications and returned the phone to me free of charge! I only had to pay to ship it to them. I recommend this phone to everyone because frankly you get a lot for the $199 price tag! The support process was wonderful as well. I haven't tried to root it again because I am quite happy with it as is. I figure if I am not doing anything that requires root then why run the risk of me messing it up again. :good:
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewasathya:
I suggest you buy this phone. You will not get a phone with this features on other phone on the same price range. And don't forget to mention, this phone will get Android M (6.0).

For build quality, the phone is quite sturdy. The back cover feels like metal or high quality plastic. The volume buttons position is perfect on my hand. Although, the power button's position is really bad (top of the phone), it's hard to reach it.

However, the phone still have some issues, like:

Back camera lens can easily get scratched (Solved with a good phone case)

Phone speaker is not loud (Nothing we can do, except deal with it)

High RAM usage on my phone (2GB RAM Model), I always get 200 - 300 MB free RAM (Maybe upgrade to Android M will fix this?)

Sometimes, Asus put useless notification on your phone (Movie Maker's new sticker or something like that, I don't read ads, just swipe them all)

And some suggestion if you buy ZenFone: Get a phone case that support Asus Cover and a screen cover.

This is just my opinion.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeidiDent:
This phone is currently one of the best bang for the buck.

You can root it easily and there's a good variety of custom ROMs for it.

It has a great hardware and performance.

Also, even though the ZenUI comes with a lot of bloatware, some of them are unique and very useful and the interface is very beautiful and smooth.

So yes, I recommend it.

But the camera is not that great and the screen resolution is 1080p. So, if you want a great camera quality and a higher display resolution, there are better options in the market, but they are way more expensive.

Who thought it was not possible to dual boot the Optimus L5, I'm sure many, for I will now teach a reliable method to perform this process. Remember that no one is responsible for any damage on your device.

Without a camera to film(If anyone can, I accept a video of dual boot)

Downloads

CM10 & Stock JB zip

Gapps for CM10

1. First download the required files in the link.

2. Start in recovery mode, go to Advanced - Partition sdcard. Select the partition sizes: ext - 512 MB and swap - 256 or more. Expect the process to end and restart. Do not forget that the process ERASE all of your memory card.

3. After you download the files and move on to your memory card. Reboot into recovery mode and do the flash CM10 Dual Boot.zip, Stock JB Dual Boot.zip, Gapps for CM10.

(Don't flash other gapps for CM10, and stock comes with gapps.)

4. Ready! Now, switching between the two systems will be through SystemChanger program, and he is installed in both rom.

PS:The network operates in both ROM, the basebands used were V10b Brazil E612F and E610 V20a EUR. If you do not work for you replace the zip of the baseband ROM folder to their respective baseband, in the CM10 folder is baseband V20 (/system/baseband/) and Stock JB folder is baseband V10 (/system/baseband/).

[Huawei MediaPad X2] Aznbull:
I've falling in love with the mediapad x2.

But before I buy anything, I have some questions that I hope you guys can help me with.

Which version should I buy GEM-702L or GEM-703L, and do you know where I can get them in EU ?.

Is it possible to remove the factory installed apps on the GEM-703L ?, and lastly What's your experience using the mediapad x2 ? Is it possible to install apps on the SD-card ? is the picture taken with the camera stored internally or is it possible to store them in the external SD-card? Will the homescreen rotate vertically and horizontally like other tablets, or will it stay vertially like a phone ?

Thanks alot.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] astuntas:
I have bought x2 a couple of weeks ago. I love it, it's perfect. The size has not been an issue a single time. And everything else is also very good - thought the camera might be better.

1. 702 or 703, or even 701 - make sure you purchase the right model for the radios in your region. Search this forum for more info - you will find it. There are endless list of distributors where you can buy them, and even more shops on the internet. And remember - there is no actual support for software for 701 and 702 - it is still on B003 firmware, though 703 had many updates, and is even announced to have update to android 6

2. No, mostly you can not remove preinstalled apps without root, but there are not many - so don't bother about it

3. My experience is a joy :)

4. Installing apps on sd card is not related to X2. It is related to the certain app. For example, google has forbidden installing it's apps to sd card since android 4.something. So, unless the author of the app allows you to, you can not install/move an app to sd card.

Read more here - good explained article:

http://phonetipz.com/android-why-is-the-move-to-sd-card-option-grayed-out-on-some-apps/

Though you can do it if you root your device and put some effort. You will find info how to do it if you google

4. Homescreen does not rotate, but the menus and certain apps do rotate - depends on the app I guess
[Huawei MediaPad X2] VillaRegina:
I have the 702L. I didn't root mine... It came with Google Play Store and most of the Google suite pre-installed. I have no bloat ware as far as Chinese apps go... My Home screen doesn't rotate... I am definitely not a techie but will try to answer any questions you have about the 702L. I am not sure what the story is on the software updates. I am bummed that I haven't gotten any software updates...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] astuntas:
703 is the only model which has updates - other two don't

Sorry for misleading you about rotating home screen - I use nova launcher and there is an option for enabling home screen rotation. I tried, It works, I now use it. And there are more reasons for using nova, I say you give it a try
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Aznbull:
Thanks every1 for your feedback, I'm waiting for my Gem-702L from spain. It cost me 260euro which is pretty good.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robn30:
My Galaxy S4 had no issues connecting to the network in Canada. Not sure which one it was connecting to but it worked fine. My MXPE will not connect to anything at all in Global or CDMA mode. It shows the available networks, Rodgers, TELUS, and BEll, and I have Automatically select preferred enabled, but it won't pick up any of them. Is it because this phone is unlocked and not a Verizon branded phone? This is a bit frustrating, how do I make it work? Must I get a SIM from one of their carriers? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
Well why would you overpay for roaming charges with Verizon. I would suggest get a local prepaid sim in Canada. I learned that every country you visit it will be always cheaper then paying Verizon.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robn30:
I don't want to use data, just texting. I can't even connect to one of their networks. My Galaxy S4 had no issues at all. As soon as I am in Canada with the GS4, all I had to so was set the mode to LTE/CDMA and it would pick up one of their networks and I could call and text all day. Of course the calls would cost me money but the texts wouldn't. Again I am on Verizon and with the GS4 I had no issues. I didn't need to get a different SIM or anything, it just worked. My MXPE sees all the available networks but will not connect to any of them. My friend I am travelling with has the Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo and his works perfect too. Automatically connects to their network no problem. So what is the deal with the MXPE? I looked at the SPECS and it seems to support the correct LTE bands. If it didn't, I don't think it would even see any of the networks here in Canada. This is a little frustrating and disappointing.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
Maybe you need to activate roaming or something with Verizon. I read some people had problems with this because it shows as non-vzw device.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robn30:
I am on a chat with Verizon right now. We will see what they say.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robn30:
No joy, she said everything looked fine on Verizon's end, with my account. This is really pissing me off. I guess you get what you pay for, and buying a carrier unlocked phone gets you no service outside the US, unless you pay extra for it. Guess the GS4 will be put back into use when I come up here, unless someone can shed some light onto something I am doing wrong.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
Sorry man I wish I could help some more. Maybe you can also try to go into the hidden menu and force it into LTE/CDMA or LTE only or something similar. I am unsure if any Canadian providers use CDMA though. Might be worth trying LTE/GSM only or LTE only.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robn30:
Where is this hidden menu you speak of. Is it the one you get to using *#*#4636#*#*? I have tried all of the Network options under the cellular networks-->Preferred network type setting. I have Global, LTE/CDMA, and LTE/GSM/UMTS and I have tried them all. No luck, it simply says can't connect to network try again later. Like I said my travel partners Droid Turbo connected without issue.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
Yea it's weird and yes that is the one I was talking about. What about if you scan for networks and manually connect? when I was in Europe my sim allowed to roam on all networks (local sim) and I could switch networks like that.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robn30:
I've tried selecting each one manually and it doesn't work either. It's very frustrating, I am really annoyed with this and it sucks to have to break out my old phone just to be able to come up here to Canada and have service. This to me is a major fail on Motorola's behalf. Unless there is something wrong with my SIM, but my phone works fine in the US. I think it's a Motorola issue since it sees all the networks perfectly fine but will not connect to them. Sad to say but this would happen if I had a Samsung device. It shouldn't be this difficult and if Motorola dropped the ball here that is a shame.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
Sorry then that I couldn't help . I'd say it's more Verizon issue because it shows as non Vzw device 2-3 months later,even with nexus 6p you would have that until Verizon fully has it in their system.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robn30:
On my account it shows as Motorola XT1575. It doesn't say unknown. It just doesn't show a picture of the device. The Verizon rep said everything looked good on their end. Even had me power down my device and restart it. They said they were resetting something on their end to see if it would work, of course it didn't. Not sure what to think. It would be nice if others could chime in with experiences outside the US with their MXPE and state whether they had any issues.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robn30:
Solved!! It was a provisioning issue. They needed to turn on USA and Canada pay as you go roaming. It was that simple, I just need to get a Verizon Rep that knew what the heck they were doing. As soon as he turned it on my phone started working. Thank you Andrew at Verizon, you're the man!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patt2k:
Yea like I thought it was something on Verizon side. I was close :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] death_skt:
Hi All, I've being trying to find something related to this, but so far didn't find any solution. Since a few days a few apps like Facebook, 20 minutos, Resultados de futbol, etc, simply stopped working (when I open the app it just closes in a few seconds, and no "Error" message is displayed). I though that it was a problem with my Samsung S4, so I changed for a new one, but the problem was not solved. So I changed my phone again for a Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) and noticed that the issue still happening. I had the idea of restore the phone and change the google account for another new, and... BANG!! all the apps work now. So the problem is with my google account, seems strange for me, maybe you know about this issue and can give me some help. Sorry if posting in the wrong section.

Guys,

I have an S5 running Cyanogen Lollipop and Philz Touch 6.26.2 as the recovery. I was experimenting with flashing a new camera .ZIP earlier today but BEFORE doing so I used Philz to create a backup. The flash of the .zip for the camera went wrong and ended up prompting the phone to hang on boot.

I booted into Recovery and restored my backup...restarted the phone and it then booted as normal BUT as soon as Android had booted, it was unusable as I just kept getting the "##### has stopped" error messages, one after the next - the launcher doesn't appear and the phone is completely unusable.

I have tried a 'Factory Reset' and wiping the Dalvik cache, on boot it optimises all apps but then does precisely the same.

Please help as I'm travelling tomorrow and need to sort this tonight!!

Cheers

Backup restore also system apps and sometimes there are problems. I think you must flash the rom without backup.

[Samsung Gear S2] HiroboFreak:
Hi all,

I have been having trouble with the inbuilt alarm on S2.

I have it set as a wake up alarm for weekdays only and sometimes it just simply doesn't go off. Totally random.

I wear it at night and it's set to Do Not Disturb mode (alarms still work in this mode) when I go to bed.

I have had the watch since release date here in Australia (late October) and the alarm has failed mamy times since then.

I have done a total of 5 light resets and 1 factory reset since I've had it but it hasn't resolved the issue.

At first I thought I may have been sleeping through it so I set it to long buzz and it worked fine for 16 days straight, (I included weekends as a test) but then it failed twice within a few days.

The most recent time it failed was this morning and I know it definitely isn't me as I was awake and purposely monitoring the time on my bedside clock to check and sure enough it simply didn't go off.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Is anyone willing to set a wake up alarm and try it out for a few weeks?

Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
I use a daily alarm just on weekdays with no issues as far as I can tell. I've had the watch for about a month and I wear it at night as well.

[Samsung Gear S2] HiroboFreak:
Ok thanks.

Do you have it set to Do Not Disturb mode at night?
[Samsung Gear S2] changepas_39:
I have experienced the same issue. I have a daily alarm set for 8pm. The alarm is very random.
[Samsung Gear S2] ffarber:
Yes, I set it Do Not Disturb and the screen to a brightness level of 1 (probably has no impact for the alarm). I especially paid attention this morning and the alarm went off.
