Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 contacts question

when I go to phone book I have options speed dial, recents and contacts. In contacts they are all duplicated, showing phone and SIM. I have gone into the contact app and in the settings 'contacts to display' have ticked Phone-only, unsynced. It shows only phone contacts in the app but going back to the phonebook still shows both phone and SIM.
How do I show only phone contacts in the phonebook??

Note Edge to Note 3 question about cell signal

So just went from a T-Mobile branded Galaxy Note Edge to a AT&T branded Galaxy Note 3 and first thing I noticed at my home was the signal isn't as great as it was on my Edge, getting 1 bar less and sometimes 2 bars less.

Did the Edge have a better hardware antenna? (I'm still using T-Mobile service on Note 3)

Plus side I guess would be this Note 3 is actually faster with less bugs like my Edge would reboot everytime after turning off Bluetooth.

Zenfone 2 factory reset and backup question.

I just started a factory reset on my phone after doing a full Asus backup to fix the battery life issue, then while it was rebooting to start the erasing process, I realized that I haven't backed up my photos or files.

It booted up, started to erase, I just held the power button to shut it off. Tried rebooting again, or booting into recovery mode, but it just boots to "erasing" every time. So I have these questions:

1. Does the factory reset in the Zenfone 2 (the one in setting sunder backup and reset) clear the contents of internal sd and erase all files?
I remember I took it to get repaired and they told me to save all the files because they will do a factory reset and that will erase everything, but I'm not sure if it's their special reset or just the normal one in the settings.

2. If yes, does the Asus backup save files or photos? Or just apps?

3. If no for 2, then can I somehow interrupt the erasing process or connect to the phone with ADB without booting into the erasing process and save my files?

Thank you very much for your help!

KINGROOT QUESTION. Need input

I've got other post started but there confusing the hell outta me. I'm use to one-click.

My question is...with my phone coming outta the box with a unlocked bootloader,is it possible to gain root with king root or any other one click method? It's confirmed.... My phone is unlocked. Would it hurt to try king root???

Development question

I just bought an S6 edge plus. It was between that and a Note 5 but I'm already thinking about going back and getting the N5. I've never bought a phone so close to its release date. Will the N5 enjoy the same great selection of custom roms from a variety of developers as its predecessors have? I feel like the edge plus will have little to no development. I guess that's about 95% of why I'm thinking about switching to the N5.

Thanks!

[Question] OTA Update

Hello, so I have an ASUS Zenfone 2 (4GB Model). And everytime an update comes out, I download the firmware wich is basicly at least 1 GB and I have to flash my device and lose all my data everytime an update comes out. But now I heard of a new way I could use wich is OTA Update. And it is basicly a lot less than the firmware size, and it also won't make me lose my data. The question is, when I want to apply the OTA Update, let's say for example I'm runing 2.15, and the latest one is 2.18. Do I have to update each OTA version seperatly until I reach the latest one? Or directly skip to the latest one?

Restoring Nandroid Question

Pardon my ignorance on the subject, i have not dealt with nandroid to much in the past. I have been pushed the new monthly update, and I am rooted. (I Know I cannot update while rooted! and am fully prepared to flash the files) My question is this, I have made a nandroid backup using TWRP, it is obviously for a different going to be for build, after I flash the updated files. I get that I can flash that and can go back to the previous build, but is there anyway to just restore apps from a nandroid backup, and not have to go back to the previous build? Or would I have better luck using something like Titanium w/ a pro key?
Thanks

NOOB Question - OTA after rooting and TWRP

Hi all,
Sorry for the noob question.
Can I receive and install official OTA updates after rooting and installing TWRP ?
Thanks.

First question for the section? Google Project fi (5)

Any one know if the Nexus ^p or what name it is called to be Google Project 5 compatible? Rumors are always welcome.

Simple noob question.

Hey guys, so this is a total curiosity question! How is it possible to flash a new bootloader FROM the bootloader? Or a new recovery FROM the recovery? I've done it a million times, but TECHNICALLY, how is it even possible? Just curiosity haha thanks guys!

Question about baseband versions.

I am still running a KitKat ROM and I recently returned my phone to stock because I was about to trade with someone. That fell through so I rooted and installed an NI2 kitkat ROM again. Service at my house seems a little worse and I'm thinking I may have flashed a different baseband before.

Currently on NI2 and wondering what other baseband I can flash while on KitKat?

Bootloader question, Android Pay related

I am currently running an OG5 based ROM, with the OB7 bootloader.

I had been keeping the OB7 bootloader, instead of upgrading to OE1/OF5, because it allowed me to go back to Kit Kat NK2, after evaluating the initial lollipop release.

Now that OG5 is out, I am pretty happy and can't imagine going back to KK.

So I've been trying to get Android Pay to allow me store a credit card and no fix has worked. I am thinking that it might be because my rom and bootloader don't match up (OB7 & OG5)?

I was going to give it a shot, but now wondering if there is any reason to keep OB7 bootloader, other than having the option to downgrade?

If I decide to go all OG5 (ROM and bootloader) is there any easier way than starting with the OTA?


Thanks,

Question on 5.1.1

Quick background. So my note 4 is currently on 5.0.1 boe1, stock rooted knox flag tripped so I cant update via OTA to 5.1.1 which is fine, I'm already readying myself for a manual Odin update


Question is that if there is a 5.1.1 firmware avail on my country for my provider, if I flash the stock 5.1.1 firmware does it also flash the 5.1.1 bootloader or will it retain my 5.0.1 bootloader? I'm pretty sure it will also update the bootloader but wanted to ask anyway to confirm.

Main reason for asking is that I know you lose root when you flash stock firmware via Odin. I'd still want to attain root after upgrading to 5.1.1. Not sure if there are any methods to date to root on 5.1.1 bootloader, or if its safe to flash the 5.0.1 bootloader after the 5.1.1 stock firmware flash.

TIA for those who would answer. [emoji1]
