[General Questions and Answers] JosephDamien:
I currently use a Motorola Atrix HD cell phone . The Android version is 4.1.1 and it will not update to a newer version. It is probably 4 years old at least. I want to get a newer phone but really was trying to avoid signing another 2 years contract with AT&T so wondered if I bought an unlocked phone that is AT&T compatible, can I just move the SIM card to the new phone and then use it as my new phone? I am older, 75, and need help with this decision. I don't need a phone with all the bells and whistles, just a basic smart phone to call, text, do email and other basic online functions. I did go to Best Buy and selected one of their unlocked phones but my SIM card would not fit the new phone so had to cancel that. Any help, comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Yes. Switching your current AT&T SIM card to another unlocked phone will work. There are a few things to watch out for:

1. Don't forger to somehow transfer your contacts to your new phone. This can be done with Google account sync or (easier) you could export your contacts from your phone to your SIM card.

2. There are multiple SIM card sizes (as you notices). There is standard size sim, micro sim and nano sim. Make sure your SIM size is compatible with your phone. If it's too big or too small go to AT&T and ask for a different size SIM card. Just don't ever use SIM adapters. They can break the phone's SIM tray permanently.
[General Questions and Answers] JosephDamien:
Thanks Janekmuric. I'll have to take out my SIM card and see what type it is. Also will try to see if there is a way on my phone to put my contacts on my SIM card. So moving my SIM card to a new phone (assuming it fits) will then enable me to begin to use that phone as my normal phone. I just can't believe it's that easy and that AT&T won't have their claws in there for some kind of fee or charge. I'll have to look for a phone then and want to try to get one that is at least version 6, I think that's Marshmallow. I've seen a number of these on Amazon that are unlocked and compatible with AT&T and not very expensive. I just need as I said earlier a basic smart phone to do calls, text, email and some basic internet. I do not do streaming or use my phone for music and all that.
[General Questions and Answers] Ciprum:
Good luck with finding a new phone. You can use GSMArena Phone Finder to find a phone you need. You put in what you want from the phone, what android version you want, what battery capacity, price, size and so on, and it returns a list of phones that fall into that category.

Samsung Galaxy J7 is good for what you need. It's responsive, fast, stylish and costs 220 USD on Amazon.com
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] dirtydime:
Hi guys. New here on xda. Just wanna know if anyone else has this problem. Seems that randomly when I toggle airplane mode my phone suddenly hangs up/freezes for about 20 secs then restarts. Afterwards when the phone boots, I wont be able to access recent apps (Tried binding it to other keys to no avail) and developer options goes missing (tapping the build number didnt do any good on it) I hope I could send some logs to show you guys but I dont know what to send lol.

1. What I know is it randomly triggers when I toggle airplane mode(sometimes it doesnt happen)

2. I only experienced it with the 2nd builds Cm,aospa,aicp.

Anyone else experiencing this on mm roms? Any fixes?:crying:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mennao:
This happened to me also. Not just with airplane mode toggle. The other toggles set this off to. the phon also lost the ability to go to home screen by pressing home botton. During the first time that this happened to me, switching users restored the developer settings; and the notification drawer if it also disappeared. But now it doesn't work.

You can substitute omni switch for the recents.

Flash again and use banksgapps instead of opengapps, there seems to be a problem with opengapps.

Link are in thread Paranoid Android Jiayu S3+ first page.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] dirtydime:
Thanks, but I already tried that to no avail. It seems to be something with the modem of build 2 since it only happned to me when I toggle airplane mode and once when I tried to turn hotspot on. Wifi and bluetooth are ok though.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] shiiinichi:
Did you try this?

adb shell am start -n com.google.android.setupwizard/.SetupWizardTestActivity

Even Nexus phones experience this. It's some kind of a MM bug.

Here's the link where I found it: https://www.virag.si/2015/08/home-button-not-working-after-flashing-to-android-marshmallow/
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] dirtydime:
Do adb commands work without developer settings enabled? Gonna try this anyway though im a bit skeptical. Developer settings also disappears along with the recent apps after the reboot.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] shiiinichi:
You can also use Nova Launcher to start the SetupWizardTestActivity. Just drag the Activities on the homescreen and search for the SetupWizardTestActivity. No need for adb.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butneveragain:
Hi all,

My m8 is rooted, with CWM. I was having issues with it, so I decided to wipe it and flash the marshmallow GPE update to see if that would help (since my OTA alert was there). However, it's now stuck in a bootloop, and I can't get into recovery, or get a computer to recognize it.

If I hold the power and volume buttons down, it will restart, I can get the white screen with HTC logo and red writing stating the build is for development purposes only, but after that it goes right to the loading screen again, instead of going into recovery like it normally would (and like it's done a thousand times for me in the past). I'm not the techiest person, but I thought I'd done enough research on this to do it properly.. apparently not :( I've tried everything I (and google) can think of, but everything seems to rely on getting to recovery to flash a new rom/wipe the cache/etc or hooking it up to a computer, neither of which I can do. Do I have any other options? This is a "new" phone (bought it refurbished from tmobile to replace my old m8 which I also had issues with... obviously a bad choice), and the thought of buying a new phone again just really kills me. Any help would be SO greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
One big problem with what you are doing is you are using CWM. That recovery hasn't been maintained in about two years now. It's obsolete. You need to flash the latest TWRP instead. Also, you should make sure your firmware is up to date. You can find that in your bootloader listed under "OS"

Let's get you out of your bootloop first.

Hold down power + vol up until your phone reboots. AS SOON AS THE SCREEN GOES BLACK switch from holding vol up to vol down. This will take you to your bootloader. Check your OS version. It should be 6.xx.xxx.x

Now that you are in bootloader, flash TWRP with fastboot.

When that is done fastboot reboot-bootloader and go to your phone. Navigate to hboot on the bootloader menu, and you will have the option to boot to recovery. Flash the ROM again, and all should be working for you.

Go to this link to get TWRP. The downloads for the M8, and instructions on how to flash it in fastboot are all there for you.

Good luck!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butneveragain:
You are a lifesaver! Didn't even think about trying to switch from volume up to down, but that did it.

Ok, so now I have TWRP, but my OS was definitely NOT 6 (it was 4.something). I assume that was one of my issues? Honestly, at this point, I just want to go back to stock lollipop, like I had before.. I bounced around a few stock marshmallow roms before my bootloop (realized I hated GPE, that HTC transfer didn't support my device on those versions, CWM wouldn't restore any of my backups--which now makes sense, etc), so I think I just want to quit messing with it at this point and count my blessings. I've had issues finding stock roms though, obviously. Could you point me in the right direction? I just want stock tmobile lollipop, with sense. I didn't think it'd be so difficult, but I'm clearly not very up-to-date on this stuff. Thanks SO much again!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
Okay. 4.xx firmware will actually work with 6.xx ROMs, but I'll instruct you on getting back to stock lollipop.

Backup anything important to you, such as photos and stuff, because this is going to wipe your phone. Don't worry about the apps. Google takes care of that for you. You might lose a little data from the apps, but if you want to be completely stock, this will do it. (you will probably get a prompt to update to Marshmallow via OTA eventually afterwards, but it will be the official stock version of it)

Also, this is assuming that you are T-Mo US, not a European T-Mo version.

Download this RUU onto your PC.

When the download if finished, hook up your phone and get into fastboot. You'll have to re-lock your bootloader first. The command is fastboot oem lock, then fastboot reboot

After you have re-locked your bootloader, double click on the RUU download and follow the prompts.

If there are problems with the RUU flash, try again while booted to bootloader. Sometimes that is needed for some reason.

That's it. You are now on stock T-MoUS 4.20.531.4

Good luck!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butneveragain:
Thanks so much. I still have everything backed up from before (well, my CWM nandroid is useless now, but I'll live). I read about the RUUs originally when I was trying to get the stock rom, but some people were saying you had to be S-OFF for them. I'm S-ON--is that a problem?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xunholyx:
No it's not a problem, and something that I have already assumed.

If you were S-Off, you wouldn't need to re-lock your bootloader before running the RUU.exe

Those "some people who were saying" are incorrect.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Yeah, people need to stop saying that. Its completely false. RUU is an official HTC recovery tool, and its intended to work on stock (s-on) devices.

You only need s-off to flash RUU as unintended by HTC, such as:

- flash an older version RUU than what is on the phone ("downgrade")

- Change CID/MID to flash another version's RUU

- Flash RUU with unlocked bootloader

- Flash a hacked/unsigned RUU

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sputnik767:
Hi guys

Recently I developed a problem where the entire screen is dimly lit when the night clock and always on display are used. It seemed to just happen out of nowhere, nothing that I did that I can think of but it sort of defeats the purpose of having it on an oled display if every pixel is lit. Phone is on the latest update, never rooted, and the always on display is at the latest version. I have tried everything up to a full factory reset. Any help is greatly appreciated.

One thing to add, I even tried flashing a new firmware through odin

I'm having the same problem. Did you manage to find a fix?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] sputnik767:
No. Seems that we're not the only ones with the issue but nobody seems to know anything about it. I was hoping the latest update would fix it, but no. My current theory is that it's a bug in the always on display driver, but that seems to be updated through the galaxy app store. If anyone knows how to revert to an old version of always on display, it may be helpful.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ballroomblitz:
Can anyone help me with steps for upgrading my unlocked bootloader gs5 from pb1 to this rom?

I've been running jrkruse's 5.1.1 note 5 port. I like it, but am interested in trying a 6.0 rom.

I've done a lot of reading, but still lack a little confidence in deciphering the correct steps for updating bootloader etc..

Thanks for any help.

Can anyone confirm that I can update my firmware from the note 5 port to a rooted 6.0 rom?

Can I follow the upgrade/downgrade firmware instructions that I've seen in other threads?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Stammis:
I had this problem before I flashed the ROM, but that was several years ago so I can't compare between now and then, but it is clear that my device drains battery abnormally fast. I would say it lasts about 2.30 hours and it gets very hot over time.

To give a perspective, the miscellaneous battery drain went from 33% to 71%

Granted, I was installing new apps during that time, but I still don't see why it should drain so much, especially when it is miscellaneous that drains the most.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Buddy! You got a rom on there for just 4 hours! Way too soon to tell anything about battery usage and forget the on board battery statistics. Might as well read your coffee grounds...

Plus, tons of stuff is going on in the background after flashing a rom, indexing is one of them, AND Katshmallow is overclocked which makes the tablet run on the hot side anyway and eats battery. That's the price to pay for speed.....

Run it for a week, install Battery Battery Stats, maybe Wakelock Detector too, then we can talk about battery drain....
[Sprint Note 7  Questions & Answers] reekotubbs:
Help. My camera will not open.

Just got my Note 7 during the middle of this week and waited until the weekend to start setting it up. As I was setting up Samsung Pay and trying to add a card, the camera failed to open. I went to the home screen and click on the camera app and it FC'd with "Warning Camera Failed".

I hit youtube to see what's going on and find that this was a common issue with S7 and S7 Edge. I attempt all the fixes that worked for those devices (force stop, wipe cache, wipe & reset data, start in safe mode), but no luck. I take it back to my local Sprint corporate store, no luck on full wipe either. They state its a defective device.

Sprint already has a replacement being mailed out, but has anyone else experienced this and if so, where you able to solve your issue?

Hello again.

Last time i was able to try HTC Vive and My God it was amazing. So i want to have some budget VR system for myself in home. I know it will be much much worse but still want to try.

BTW if you can afford for HTC Vive just buy one.

Which is better betwen Mi Vr and Vr box 2.0?
[LG G Flex 2] YourComrade:
Mi VR is more oriented on chinese market,but no one says there is not quality content even for non-chinese,but i guess they are both pretty much same as they use display of phone. I think Mi VR has more potencial for future because of community and brand. Also VR Box 2 is up to 6 inches,Mi VR is up to 5.7 inches and VR Box 2 has extra jack,but i dont think its that important

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedikalimero:
I have a Note 4 and I was very satisfied with the performance until a few weeks ago, an upgrade to Android 6.0.1 was downloaded and applied.

It seems the update failed and despite I'm now in Android 6.0.1, the phone is working very erratic. Sometimes it freezes for a while (10 seconds, 30, 1 minute, 2 minutes) and then just continues as normal (when it freezes for more than a minute, it goes directly to lock screen ). Sometimes it says some app or system process (touchwiz and the like) has failed and sometimes it simply reboots without any reason. I have restarted it in secure mode but there is no difference.

I have uninstalled all downloaded apps but there is no difference. I have reset it to factory defaults but keeps failing.

I have downloaded latest 6.0.1 Firmware from Sammobile and flashed it with Odin but the fail is still there.

One thing I have noticed is when I start in recovery mode (power+home+vol up), instead of the recovery menu, the android robot appears and the text installing update. It goes for a while, then crashes (robot with red triangle) and then the recovery menu appears. This happens every time I start in recovery mode so it looks like there is some update that was applied (since I have 6.0.1 instead of 5.x) but only partially.

Any help?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedikalimero:
Tried Emergency Recovery but phone doesn't show up in the list, so I tried Update Firmware. It told me the firmware I have would be replaced by current version (The SAME version) but I went ahead anyway. Firmware was downloaded from internet, phone booted in Download mode and Smart Switch copied the firmware to the phone, then restarted, installing... Error Message: "No Command", nothing else.

I removed battery, rebooted and error message appeared telling there was a problem with firmware update and I would need to use emergency recovery from Kies (I understand I have to use Smart Switch, no Kies). So I connected it again to Kies and opened Emergency Recovery but once again, it doesn't appear in the list. So trying again with Firmware update. If this doesn't work, I'm afraid I have a very expensive paperweight :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedikalimero:
Failed again. At 25% update, Download screen showed:

A window in Smart Switch tells me something went wrong and offers me Emergency Recovery. It also tells me I have to write a recovery code if using another PC. The recovery code is blank. not a good signal.

Again, Emergency Recovery is showing nothing in the list of devices :(
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedikalimero:
Ok, I finally downgraded to Firmware 5.1.1 using Odin and the phone is alive again, but I don't think everything is OK. First time I tried to update the firmware with Odin, it failed at the middle of the process, just like Smart Switch did. But second time it completed the process and rebooted. I will leave it as is a few days for testing and if no issues appear, I will allow it to update OTA. In any case, if update OTA fails again, I always can go back to where I am now.

Restarting in recovery mode now shows the android guy with the blue thing spinning (no text) and after a while the fallen android guy with the danger signal and then the recovery menu. That's not what should appear. It should go directly to recovery menu, so I think it is still not 100% good. :(
