[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
I am currently a t-mobile customer and love their customer support and their service. I am thinking of switching to ATT for the 3G since it looks like T-Mobile may not have 3G available for the TYTN II in the US. Any thoughts? Advantages/Disadvantages of each carrier?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JonnoB:
I also have a TyTN II, but am keeping it on T-Mobile. The reason is that I have a great family plan that cannot be beat. We have 5 phones. I pay the base rate plus $10 for each additional phone. I have the unlimited data plan at $20 and the other 4 phones are getting push mail with the T-Zones 5.99 plan. Someday, T-zones may not work anymore, but until then - this is a great deal. I also get unlimited text/mms for $10/month that covers all 5 phones. With 3 of the 5 phones in the hands of teens, that is an awesome deal. If AT&T could get me unlimited push email and web access, unlimited texting, free mobile to mobile, free nights and weekends and 1000 shared minutes over 5 phones for less than $100/month - I would jump ship.

To be honest, EDGE is not that bad and at the times where I find myself needing greater speeds (Sling Player, etc), I have access to WiFi (grocery store, gym, around the house, office, cafe, etc)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
my edge is fast but i just wonder how much faster 3g is. Just found out that 3g for att isnt available in my area anyhow :( What is push email? I put my pop email settings in to get mail and it updates every 60 mins and if i have deleted mail from my outlook it will no longer show up on my phone. Can I setup push email this way since i am assuming push email is where it goes to your phone as you get it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JonnoB:
From Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_e-mail):

Basically, instead of having your device poll every hour, you get email the moment it comes in. Also, if you get email less frequently than every hour, there is no reason to waste battery and poll when none is there. It is now considered the holy grail of always connected mobile devices and the reason why devices like the Blackberry have become so popular. Now that it is built into WM5 and above to work with Exchange, WM devices are quickly becoming a standard work tool in the office. I could not live without it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lavachild:
so if i use a pop email from an isp then i cant use this feature correct? i would have to setup an exchange server?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] flexte:
the only reason i use the kaiser over my nokia e61 is because of its ability to stream music and tv with its high speed data capabilities. I tried the att's speed for 1 day and had to bite the bullet and sign up with them. i still have my tmobile plan because i get so many minutes with my plan. once my rollover minutes start to accumulate i can leave tmobile.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ir0r0:
So I'm trying to follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/pixel-c/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-install-custom-t3307183

However, I have no idea how to install and open the adb prompt. It's not really clear in the guide on how to do it, it sort of expects you to know or have it. I'm very new to androids, and have no experience with this but need to root my Pixel C. Please, no comments saying "You shouldn't be doing this" or "You have no idea what you're doing." I would appreciate helpful answers.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ir0r0:
I get an "error: device '<null>' not found" when I try using the minimal ADB and Fastboot to enter in the command in the very first step of the guide. My pixel c is plugged in and recognized by the laptop.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ir0r0:
An update: I went through all the steps and followed them. In the end, when I typed in "adb install Superuser.apk", it said "Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]". I downloaded Busybox but it also gave an error message that something was wrong or that the device was rooted improperly. Help?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ir0r0:
So sorry for this spam. I just keep running into one problem after another and eventually finding the fix, but I can't find my way around this one.

I successfully rooted and everything, but HiroMacro doesn't work for me. None of the action keys work; I can't figure out how to pull up the popup from where I can record and play back scripts. Works on my rooted LG Optimus Exceed 2, but for some reason doesn't on my Pixel C. Does anybody know how to fix it?

Will huawei give any trouble if we unlock the bootloader, does anyone think its worth it? I would like to try cm when it does release and right now I'm thinking of trying the mod to turn on and off swap
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] elessarelfstar:
Turning on and off swap is the main reason I want to unlock the bootloader at the moment. Just haven't had time yet.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] ZeRo2o9:
Yea was wondering about that and if I ever needed any repairs, I ended up doing it anyway everyone here seems to be unlocking anyway
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] qbanlinxx:
Silly question, but what is swap?
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] glockman4519:
Is there a tool made for this device yet for flashing adb fastboot? I used adb fastboot to unlock my L24 but when trying to flash the recovery.img that is where I hit a wall. I am not to up on adb fastboot besides simple commands for logs and unlocking a bootloader such as this. when I open a comand prompt it doesn't see the img file and give me a fail message. I just thought I would check to see if anyone has made their own tool yet. Thank you for your time.
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] glockman4519:
Yes, that was the post I was using as a guide. All the commands worked great to it came to the part where I had to flash recovery in bootloader mode. It wouldn't/couldn't find the destination file. I will just have to read some more and figure this out. Thank you for your reply. I'm almost done, just have to get recovery flashed now and I'll be good to go.

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Mister B:
Probably 70% chance of having some hassle with warranty with bootloader unlocked, they will also blame any glitches on software or roms you using.

I scenario where phone 100% power dead they likely never look into bootloader or rom status so won't matter .

your region & person dealing with it will make huge difference on the day ...
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] glockman4519:
Thank you Sir. That is exactly what I needed. I needed to know where to put the .img TWRP file, the destination, and his to access that file then with the command prompt.

Yes, my bootloader was unlocked successfully and adb had no problems picking up my device. It just couldn't locate the file that I was typing into the command prompt window. A lot of the roles that are out for use have spoiled me and that is all automate because everything is located in the same folder. I need to learn this though.

Thank you again.

"Chance Favors the Prepared"
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] glockman4519:
Again, thank you. That was all I needed. It worked great once I put the TWRP.img file where it needed to be. I am unlocked, have custom recovery installed and am now rooted.

i was trying to update to 5.1.1 but the software update aways saying error during DM session? what's wrong?
[Xperia Z3v General] GigaSPX:
Are you on 5.0.2 or 4.4.4? You need to be on 4.4.4 to successfully update.

Do you have a sim card in? I have the Verizon z2 LTE tablet and you cannot update without both WiFi and a sim card inserted.

Hi,

Will it work if using Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant via PC without Verizon SIM ? I'm currently not in the US right now. No Verizon SIM card here.
[Xperia Z3v General] StanleyZU:
i have a verizon sim card but still error during DM session issue
[Xperia Z3v General] StanleyZU:
i can't even download
[Xperia Z3v General] JediDru:
I really dont know. That is the same error I got when I first got the z2 tablet. Reading up I found if I had both my phones sim in and on WiFi it would update from 4.4.4 to the z2's tablets official 5.0.2. When they released 5.1.1 I had to do the same thing again.
[Xperia Z3v General] nealecj954:
I've had it happen but it cleared up on its own. Just make sure you are bone stock and reenable Amy disabled apps.
[Xperia Z3v General] iambedook:
After I rooted 4.4.4. along with 5.1.1. and reverted to stock, 4.4.4 I also had issues receiving updates. I had to reflash the stock ftf files 3-5 times repeatedly, checking after each reflash if I could get the updates. Also, make sure to configure wifi, along with having your sim enabled. The first update, which is minor, appears to require wifi. The other updates will apply with or without wifi in my experience.
[Xperia Z3v General] Rukiano13:
solved

hello.

i use to have the same problem with this phone!! i had two of them (xperia z3v)

now i been able to get android 5.1.1 with the next steps:

1.-download the Xperia Companion

2.-you have to save any data of your phone (video, fotos, music)

3.-open xperia companion and select "software repair" ans then the option that says "here"

4.-follow the steps until it told you to power off your phone

5.-then press and hold the volume down key and plug it with the USB still holding the botton

6.-then you just have to wait until is done, it will take a while (but it only was with the first phone, the second was very quick)

7.-then you have to power on your phone (this will take more than the regular but it is normal)

8.-now you have android 5.1.1 and you have to put your gmail acount again

So Far came this far with the chimera tool
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Prfndhatrdofman:
This didn't brick your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Russ77:
It didn't root mine, but it didn't brick it. Device status is custom.

And... I lose my wifi connections on boot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] maheshwar:
Havent gotten to rooting mine. Because i am using the trail version, i used it to check my phone info. Now i have to wait 3 hrs to use the root functionality.

more info on how the trail-license works:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Prfndhatrdofman:
Man, that is some shady looking **** right there. Let me know how it goes haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] sultan.of.swing:
Tried root it failed on me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] maheshwar:
My guess is as of right now it only works for the N920AUCU1AOGG firmware, it is the original firmware that came when the phone was introduced. Now everyone is rocking the N920AUCU2AOJ1 firmware that came out some time in between September - December.

If you search for the firmware available in chimera root tool, the one they have is the original one OGG. I guess the only way for this to work is to downgrade then run the utility.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Russ77:
how do I stop the now constant security warnings, and dropping of wifi on reboot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] sultan.of.swing:
Getting the same myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Russ77:
maybe I'll try the unroot option after my 3 hours runs out? don't see much harm in hacking this thing up anymore...

factory reset via recovery and restoring from smart switch did nothing. other than wipe away my screen and app drawer settings :'p

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:53 PM ----------

package Disabler pro is your friend for the security warning thing. just disable security log agent
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] sultan.of.swing:
That works for the message, Thinking about trying to Odin to OGG and try root again when the 3hrs is passed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Russ77:
supposedly chimera can flash OGG.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] jellybear456:

Welp, lost my EFS/IMEI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] maheshwar:
if nothing boots up, take it to the local best buy they can re flash the whole os.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] sultan.of.swing:
It boots into the OS just fine but there is no IMEI and the baseband now says unknown

Whew, Complete ODIN back to the newest firmware fixed it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] maheshwar:
Apparently a quick factory reset will restore it , back up your data doe.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] sultan.of.swing:
Yep, doing that now, LOL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] meraz9000:
thats is my video but factory reset wont help you in this case...just flash the latest stock firmware and that will fix it. Link HERE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] maheshwar:
:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] sultan.of.swing:
Yea I already did it and it did fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note5] Russ77:
could you post a brief refresher for those of us that haven't used Odin in a while? isn't there a way to flash the firmware without wiping data? and what version of Odin?

edit, never mind... I was worried over nothing :')

You can just use smart switch by Samsung
[SuperSU] Kodalades:
I'm not sure where the appropriate place for this would be, and I apologize in advance if this isn't it, but I need some assistance.

For starters, I'm an absolute n00b when it comes to anything root and I don't understand the language and procedures to it, only how to do it by following instructions. Hence why I'm currently on a 4.4 untethered root.

I'm due for an upgrade this month and am torn between getting a later device with Lollipop or a newer device with Marshmallow. The deciding point is if there's any kind of walkthrough on rooting Marshmallow, preferably a dumbed-down version for nondevs like myself.

I know there's currently an experimental one provided by Chainfire, and I skimmed through it but couldn't really understand it.

So any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] If you could weigh in, that would be very helpful.
[SuperSU] KevinX8:
What are you on about untethered root this isn't IOS. Also it's just two simple steps:

Get a recovery for your device (TWRP preferably)

Use either the stable zip from this forum or beta zip thosent matter and transfer it to your device.

Flash it in the recovery done you're rooted
[SuperSU] Kodalades:
[MENTION=5168296]Xmaster24[/MENTION] I appreciate the response. I was losing hope on getting an answer as I had already gone with the newer device for my upgrade.

In jcase's pie thread for the 2013 Motorola line, that's what the 4.4 root was referred to as. Wasn't confusing Android with iOS.

And I apologize for being so n00bish, but how would I go about getting TWRP recovery? I do know how to flash the zip from there as I used Safestrap on my current device (but I already needed root access for it to work).
[SuperSU] KevinX8:
Depends on your device just tell me what it is and I can send you some info. Safestrap seems to be dead for at least a year thosent sound very safe lol.
[SuperSU] Kodalades:
I'm getting the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Considering it's not out in the US yet (I have it on preorder), I'm not sure if you'd be able to tell me anything at the moment.
[SuperSU] KevinX8:
Oh dear yes it has just been released probably no rooting info available for quite some time considering samsungs stance on root and open software. Maybe check again in a few weeks or months
[SuperSU] Kodalades:
Bummer. Kinda expected something along those lines though so I'm not surprised.

Would getting TWRP or some other kind of recovery still be possible at the very least?
[SuperSU] KevinX8:
Flash fire could work but it requires root already. Doubt there are any easy exploits on a flagship just released phone
[SuperSU] Kodalades:
Makes sense. I really appreciate the help. If you happen to learn of anything more, please let me know. :)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcdader:
I have been trying to solve an issue with the top microphone while using speaker phone. The mic is working but I have to talk right into it to get it to pick up audio and then it is still very quite and distorted on the receivers end. I have verified there is nothing blocking the pin hole. I have tried full wipe, stock and custom roms with no luck. Now starting to look at the Mixer paths to see if I can boost the sensitivity, but not sure what setting to look for. I have tried changing settings in build.prop, did not help. Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. Mainly trying to get this working because of Skype, (maybe change mixer-path to use bottom mic).

Issues seemed to start after android 6.

Hello,

This is my very first post, so please forgive me if this does not qualify as a good post.

My problem is that I set a screen lock password, and now I want to go back to just a swipe, BUT..... The password I set only works to open the phone! When I try to use the exact same password to change the lock screen type or password, it does not accept the password!

How is the password I set for my lockscreen different from my lockscreen type password?! This makes no sense.

I am on OI6.

I used this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62536311 to root my note5 with Beastmode 1.3 and install TWRP.

I set a password with special characters.

I can follow instructions very well, and I would like to update to all of the latest stuff and get the maximum performance and benefits from my phone, but I am pretty much a newb with mobile technology.

If there is any pro's out there that can teach me or point me to the right tutorials, I will sincerely appreciate it.

If it is possible at all, I would like to have root with the latest kernel, 0 bloatware, and maximum control.

Sorry if my post changed topic, thank you for any help at all.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stierney:
You'll be lucky to get the Sammy one on the list as I don't think they make it any more... They are probably working on a new one if the whole VR thing takes off. I'd guess the freebie games won't need controllers to play (controls are on site of headset) BUT having a controller is definitely worth it if you wanna go and buy some of the other games available. I've got a cheapskate mate who went with some cheap option and couldn't get it to work so be careful if you pick something not on that list
