[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosmastr:
hi everybody

Friend of mine gave me this phone with the unlock code.

The phone keeps going to the hands-free activation screen ( which fails of course because it's either got no sim or a T-Mobile SIM in there)

Someone said it said enter double hashtag and then the msl code followed by hashtag

That just takes me to a screen where I can enter the "NAM info" T-Mobile's nearly worthless support told me to put my phone number into both the mdn and msid fields. Obviously this didn't work.

I tried the double hashtags 72786 hashtag to reset the radios, no joy. But before it should no signal at all any of the time where is now it does seem to have a connection to Sprint.

I found other sites that said that I need to enter the UICC unlock code, tapping that option or update PRL or pretty much anything else on that settings screen, just kicks open the hands-free activation screen again, before I did the step above to reset the radio I kept getting a 407 error.

Something that's probably complicating this whole process is that this phone did have a custom ROM on it and still has TWRP on it. The custom rom was wiped and I grabbed the Android 6.0 debloated stock ROM from on here and installed that to get this thing unlocked.

I'm open to trying custom roms but I need one that's going to be as stable as stock.

I would appreciate any help you guys could provide I've wasted probably about six hours on Google already. I got a lot of what appears to be pretty low-level information off of the hands-free activation menu though I've posted those photos.

One thing I find curious as you can see in one of the images that says that the Linux version is 4.0.4. But the ROM is definitely a 6.0. I'm an IT guy but I'm pretty novice when it comes to cell phones, is this something to do with the kernal?

I've been trying to download Dr ketan mod but while there's instructions for the p varient, there's no ROM download for the P version of the note 4 on his site.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron74:
I can't really help you but I can give you some info.

For 1, to unlock it correctly, you should be on stock firmware. You use Odin for that. There are plenty threads here that explain how.

2. Even if you do go stock. I've seen multiple people that can't unlock this phone, even with sprint help. It's like they don't care.

But yes, I've always heard what unlocks the phone is the uicc unlock code. But good luck getting it or getting it to work.

3. I wasted a week trying to figure out unlocking my phone. Not because of $, just wanted to try to figure it out. But i said, F#&k it. And paid Idone apps to unlock mine. Worked flawless!

Good luck!

As far as roms. There are plenty that work great.

Requires xposed and custom ROM that supports xposed such as unlegacy 6.0.1 ROM etc

Install root if ROM doesn't include it

and then install xposed per the SDK your ROM is mm is SDK 23 etc

Then install xposed installer apk official or unofficial

Install busybox

Then install YouTube app and also install yourtube+ app in xposed installer app

Then set your tube plus with these options then reboot

I also use YouTube background playback and YouTube adaway xposed modules

Ps You may need to increase GPU clock speed and CPU clock speed to get smooth playback and also remember higher quality videos require a faster internet connection

Pps I also used a developer preview GPU driver I can provide download if anyone is interested

Edit I had to use performance GPU and CPU governors to get some 1440p videos working not all work

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RhodesExe:
So i've got this old XT1064 that i ended up passing down to my brother, but he managed to brick it a while ago. A few days back my friend's phone got stolen, so i decided to try and fix this old brick that was sitting in my shelf. Its the Canadian version XT1064. It used to have a custom rom when it got bricked (no clue wich one, long ago.)

Anyways, the problem is; Its constantly in the booting animation. Its not rebooting over and over as it usually happens in a bootloop. The animation just never ends. It doesn't restart, doesn't start into system etc. The only way to get out of the booting animation or powering it off is by hard rebooting it (holding power for 10 secs.)

I've tried a number of stock roms of different versions for the XT1064 and absolutely nothing seems to fix it.. When i try flashing a rom with fastboot, everything shows up as "OKAY [ #.###s]", yet when i reboot it gets to the same animation as before..

Here's a youtube video of the booting animation: /watch?v=HoSds0LULH4

My friend has no money to buy a new phone for a few months and i really want to help her out.

Thanks in advance!
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerClark:
I presume you cleared all the caches and user data and tried again.

Just installing ROM's won't clear caches, you need to use the mfastboot erase command to clear them.

I my case, I had a bootloop, which was not fixed by just flashing a stock ROM.

I had to erase all the caches etc as well
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Siva Mk:
Hey guys,

Having been here for sometime, I find development of our device is very slow. But there is progress. I mean the fingerprint was resolved, root was resolved. Almost all critical requirements are stable or near to stable.

Keeping that aside, may I ask why VoLTE is not available in any custom ROM? While it works perfectly with stock considering the fact that stock is actually near to stock Android.

With my previous device(Redmi note 3), a wonderful device, VoLTE bug was solved by restoring the correct Radio, Firmware and the EFS partition (mentioning so that it might become useful).

Will that method​ work for our device? I mean has anyone tried that? Or should we wait for official source release from Lenovo or is it that we've live without VoLTE ?

Sorry for the long post, Thanks for your patience. :)
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] nandakis4:
Hi, we have Volte code in Lineage 14.1 intial builds.. but later its Gone..!

dont know why.. hope someone answers your question.. !
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Siva Mk:
Not sure if developers are aware of it since majority won't use VoLTE. In the case of Redmi note 3, it's popularity in the Indian market (demanding Reliance Jio) forced devs to find a fix.

Well clearly that's not the case for P2. As we lack popularity and most ROMs are ported rather than built from scratch (I assume. pl correct me if I'm wrong). As a result no one has actually gone into it. If Lenovo has not released the source code then restoring some partition related the radio bands from stock ROM should solve the issue right? Atleast that was the case in RN3.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] reality1234:
I am also skeptical to buy p2.The development is not great while RN3 has the best development I guess.Thats why I am stuck in between rn 4 and p2.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Siva Mk:
If you're crazy for developing then P2 is not for you. I prefer not to do any mods as of now cuz I'm doing all my experiments on RN3 ;):cool:

So I bought this having no plans for development... Root yes... But custom ROMs... Nah... RN3 keeps me busy with that.. having said that, I wouldn't prefer RN4 just for the fact that it has better development. Look for other features too.. like the battery and display for instance... And camera too... Honestly I completely disagree with the fact that many complain the camera sucks... I don't really see a reason why as in its a Sony exmor sensor with an f2.2 aperture. Yes it's an f2.2 aperture so low light will be bad it's obvious. But under normal lighting, or sun it's perfect top notch.

Only feature they missed out was an image stabilizer. They could have added any image stabilization tool but then.. for the price it's pretty much over featured I'd say.

Goodluck
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] philje123:
This is actually my first phone in a long time that I have no desire to root.

No bloatware to get rid of and have a nice non-root as blocker.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] reality1234:
*F2.0
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Siva Mk:
Yehp f2.0 my bad... 2.2 is for the front one
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] reality1234:
I am actually deciding which to buy.This is for 13k at Flipkart but development is worrying me so I May go for note 4.What do you suggest?:(
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] Siva Mk:
Like I said, I wouldn't normally put features above development, but considering this phone specs features and having used it, I'd definitely suggest P2.

But then there are other factors..

1. Bored to bones with MiUI

2. Redmi feels cheaper and delicate (not sure if I'm alone on this). Holding my RN3 and P2 I could easily pick P2.

3. Camera.. MiUI camera app is ugh.. there's no need for explaining I literally hate it.

4. I'm enjoying P2 without any mods.. not even​root. Clearly not my type.. but i was able to blend in..

That pretty much sums it up. Posts are bit lengthy because I've been through and did a lot of thinking... Hope I was able to help..

Bottom line, you want development go for RN4 else P2 however you can pretty much stay without rooting.

Another option is recommend is the zuk z2
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] reality1234:
Thanks:)

I an getting more battery, amoled display,fast charging with fast charger and almost stock rom.Thats why I am leaning towards p2.AND i personally like p2'a design.Hope development catches up because 2 devs are here doing all the work for this device.I actually kinda feel sad that p2 didn't sell much.Lenovo should have advertised it.RN4 isn't that great in front of this device.And Xiaomi hasn't even released the sources for RN4 still it's so well developed.I really want this device,but I am a guy that flashes roms like every week.Trying out different roms is my passion:silly:.Had it been Moto P2 instead of Lenovo p2,You could have seen a lot more sales:(
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] pat7:
:o Hello.

I have my P2 for a month,

it is the first phone I do not try to root !!

I would like that LENOVO is a true follow-up on this P2. Better than they did to finalize Nougat 7.0.

As said above, if it to a default is the lack of photo stabilizer.

Can I expect a pass on Android 8.0 :fingers-crossed: ... A dream ?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dannytgt:
Hi guys, I'm in a little dilemma right now, because I'm happy with the mate 9 but the lack I developing, and after 1 month of use I thought battery life is not as good as it's seems for a 4000 mha battery.

So I want to ask to the mate 9 owners, that also have tested or own an Oneplus 3t or the LG G6 or even the galaxy s8.if you will switch the mate 9 for one of this phones.

For the Oneplus 3t in my country I can get only a trait switching phone by phone.

For the lg g6 I've have to pay some extra 250 dollars plus the mate 9.

And for the galaxy s8 I'll have to pay a ridiculous extra amount of 500 dollars plus the mate 9. And thats the main reason, right now I'm not switching to the s8. It's absolutely insane to pay almost 500 dollar plus a 600 dollars mate 9.

So guys, do you think it's worth the price to pay extra money for the lg g6, or switch for the Oneplus 3t without paying extra money. Thanks for your responses. It will be greatly apreciated.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] vikramdhani:
Never not changing it for G6 or 3T they are not even a competition from my perspective
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dannytgt:
Thanks for your response. I'm agreed with you. But here in my country the mate 9 it's really underestimated and underrated, it's ridiculous but here the re sale prices of the OP3t and mate 9 are the same.

I came from a s7 edge and a Oneplus 3 and I miss the battery efficiency from the s7 edge, and the extra features and developer support from the Oneplus 3

I think I'll keep the mate 9 at least the Oneplus 5 come out.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] vikramdhani:
Yes that's correct and I was not sure about the mate 9 till I decided to give it a try and it's awesome I don't care for 4K screen on the phone so for me it's all good especially battery life
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] vista1984:
mate 9 is on par with g6 and 3t, if not better. if you upgrade to s8 when i understand.

but if you are very into flashing 3rd party roms, then 3t maybe is a way to go.

i got mate 9 so i can have a stable android experience that don't require flashing all the time.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] catalindobre:
I've had same dilemma, but I think Mate 9 is the best option at the moment. I've had the 3T, but in terms of speed the difference is bearly noticeable, but the camera of 3T is a no-go, very bad focusing compared to the Mate. Only thing that I can consider it much better on 3T is headphones sound. The LG G6 doesn't seem to be much an upgrade, and it's slower than the Mate. The S8 too expensive for what it delivers and prone to accidents, even if Gorilla 5 , bla bla ...

For the moment there aren't too many options better than the mighty Mate, maybe second half of the year will bring us more.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] dannytgt:
Yes I think the same, switching to the s8 will be an upgrade, for the Oneplus 3t is like a downgrade and for the g6 I thing it's almost the same as Oneplus 3t but with the same lack of support as the mate 9, only plus I see in g6 is the screen. But not for paying an extra 250 dollars.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] RR-99:
The Mate9 is a pretty good phone, even with its known problems. IMO there's not another phone out there at the moment that is significantly better and worth trading for.

But when the Note 8 comes out, that may change. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rowihel2012:
No only for mate 10

Or my mix 2 on note 8

---------- Post added at 05:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Mate 9 is near perfect

I had

One plus 3t

Nexus 6p

Note 7

S7 edge

Zte z11

Mate 9 is better in performance and sound and cpu is amazing camera is great with manual
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] zayidhs:
I was in your dilemma (before buying the Mate 9) after days of careful research which included watching countless comparisons (speed, spec, durability, camera, battery etc) of Mate 9 VS O+3T, s7e, ip7plus & others 9n YouTube, I went with mate 9 & I'm super happy anytime I remember I almost went for others most especially, O+3T.

I don't know why you're complaining about the battery cos I'm a heavy user and I always get about 30% charge left with 8+hrs SOT when I get home by midnight or 1am.

My only pain is not being able to install nethunter from official sources and I don't want to try a workaround for fear of bricking beyond repair.

I love this phone.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] intruda119:
Wouldn't get the LG G6. It will be in the $300 range in no time. they do not hold their value.

Oneplus if modding community is important.

I personally would go for the 6p if you can find a good one but that's just me though. Until next round of phablets come out.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] ilbambino:
i wouldn't change it for any of the phones you mentioned maybe for note 8 but even when is out I will have to see it and tested it first in the store, my mate 9 has been working really nice even without fully integration with google (i have chinese version) battery life is great almost close to 24 hours under heavy use, regarding your problem I experienced some issues after the last fw upgrade and after doing the following it went back to normal:

1) wipe cache

2) apply any missing updates, restart and delete your google account

3)re-add google account, reapply permissions for phone access and notifications, deplete the battery (until phone dies on your hands)

4) charge and start using it, in my case after this all issues with google apps using a lot of battery and notifications and autosync not working was fixed.

hope this helps, good luck
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] hackdrag0n:
Meh flashing roms gets old after a while. Mate 9/P10/P10 plus already offer a very nice experience out of the box. There isn't really any need for root on them.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Styleshman:
I have come from Samsung series. Things I enjoy on Huawei Mate 9 are,

> Best Battery Life (I don't know why you are not getting good battery life)

> Large screen and better screen to body ratio

> Good customization options

> Smoother software experience

> Fast Charging (I never miss Samsung fast charging)

But Things I miss of Samsung Series are,

> Camera... Although Huawei Mate 9 has dual camera setup and offer many manual controls but due to f/2.2 in main camera i.e. 12 MP it does not gets much details in regular shots. As we use cell phone for capturing instant shots so Mate 9 is not a perfect camera phone. Like in Samsung flagships we just take the phone out of pocket and take far more better shots in auto mode. More importantly the low light photos are really noisy and poorly detailed.

I am not an engineer but instead of using 20 MP monochrome and 12 MP f/2.2 color sensor Huawei should have assembled mate 9 camera as

12 MP monochrome + 20 MP color sensor

or

20 MP monochrome + 12 MP f/1.7 color sensor....

Well no long details, in short I really don't enjoy the camera of Huawei Mate 9

> Capacitive navigation keys (it varies from person to person) but in my opinion on screen keys do take a noticeable part of your phone's screen
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] superandroid2011:
No way, the only candidates are Mate 10, Note 8 ou Mi Mix 2, none of them exist yet.

S8+ is a beautiful phone (S8 regular is just too small), but with so little edges all around, I think it is hard to operate it, also not a fan of these new taller screens (G6 and S8).

Mate 9 is very good all around (screen, performance, battery, camera, price), my only complaint (and not much of a one) is his weight. Just that.
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Hey all,

I've wanted some kind of casing even before I had my TC.

A leather thing would be most protective, but mostly that will be in book or booklet form, which is very unhandy to make phonecalls.

However there are a bunch of metalic or silicon cases available too. I was wondering which one to buy, for example http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000220&products_id=7161 seems pretty good except for the awful "With transparent plastic protection.". Which pretty much ****s up the total TouchFLO thing.

What do you think?
[Touch Cruise General] Rudegar:
well the screen is the most sensitiv part of the phone

it would break more easy then anything else of the pda
[Touch Cruise General] butzchan:
The only ones that I have found are from pdair. I would like to see a glove fit or skin that would leave the front open for the touch flo.

case

Hey SabbeRubbish, I have bought a case for my X800 its not designed for wither the TC or the X800 but it does the job it’s a slip case from Ted Baker London its black with a purple lining its quite cheap and real leather so it might be in your interest to see it. And it covers the screen completely meaning no scratches and accidental unlocking the screen?
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Sounds good, can you post a few pictures? Thanks :)
[Touch Cruise General] dr_s:
Touch cruise comes with a lovely, very classy, black velevet/suede pouch (slip case). Very elegant and protective. I don't think you need another one.
[Touch Cruise General] JNGold:
Since the Cruise is a relatively new device, there's not much in "specific" cases. You can get pouches that are fit for device that are similar in size and shape. Here are some of the ones that I found that are "compatible" with the Cruise.

[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
Thanks for the reply, but I was looking more for something to hold the TC, rather than to burry it in. It's a phone, and I should be able to answer it withing 10s, not having to get it out of some kind of pouch.

I was thinking more like:

http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000220&products_id=7160

but that's somewhat too unhandy to call with (I think, any experience?).

Maybe something like:

http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000220&products_id=7161

?

Thanks!
[Touch Cruise General] JNGold:
I don't know, opening a little flap or pulling out a device out of a pouch shouldn't take anyone that much time. The flip cases are a PIA (IMHO) and most other cases add bulk to the device. The Cruise is not that small to begin with.

Of course, preference is the key when selecting a case.
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
True, but I don't want the hassle of a pouch when risking the TC to fall out if it all goes quickly. Therefore I was thinking of the aluminum casing in which it is tightly held. That way impact damage will be less. But I think leather protects best against any falling damage. And no I'm not planning on dropping it a lot or giving it to friends or children ;)
[Touch Cruise General] t_rik:
http://shop.carphonewarehouse.com/a...o-ordinary-designer-phone-pouch-slippy-black/

there it is sorry i took so long to post i had 2 days off so i spent them away from anything electircal lol except my touch which arived monday morning. its the one thing the shiny screen surround but an almost like brushed aluminum keys. really happy with it other than vedio quality.

but anyway that the case ive got but instead of green its purple. and ignore the phone inside the case in the pic its a universal case but it fits the tc slightly losely which is a really nice fit in my opinion then again ive never really liked tight fiting cases.

Thanks for the link, I had seen it before, but one big issue:

Which makes me wonder: will TouchFLO work?
[Touch Cruise General] Bodisson:
Ummm... What is standard screen protector made of? One which comes with TC?

Plastic?

Just curious...
[Touch Cruise General] SabbeRubbish:
I'm not sure, and can't find anything online about it, but it feels like plastic, definitely not glass or rubber :p

I guess that it *might* work with this kind of cover, but it should almost stick to the screen like the screen protector. And then again, if doesn't really stick to it, it doesn't protect the screen from filth coming through...
[Touch Cruise General] Taninpv:
