using Verizon Note 5 on T-Mobile?

Is this possible?

I just picked up a Verizon Note 5, put my T-Mobile sim in (like I have for tons of verizon devices in the past) and expected it to work, but it does not.

I get no bars with a little X on top. No service. No text/calls/data. I have tried multiple APNs. I've tried global mode, lte cdma mode, lte gsm umts mode. I experienced an issue similar to this on the Verizon Note 4 once it updated to lollipop. However for that Note 4, I put a verizon sim in and that of course worked, so then I took the verizon sim out and put my T-Mobile sim in and it finally worked, as if the verizon sim had to "activate" the phone.

I tried those same steps on this Verizon Note 5 (Verizon sim first - checked internet and it was working with the verizon sim - put in T-Mobile sim - no dice)

I thought all LTE Verizon devices were unlocked? Is anybody here actually using a Verizon Note 5 on T-Mobile or AT&T??

[Help] Using LG G3 Verizon model on Sprint Network

As the title implies, I've tried my own research and came up with nothing on the matter. The Verizon model does not work with a Sprint SIM though it is claimed to be unlocked off the manufacturer so I'm leaning towards compatibility being the problem, is there any way to solve this? Maybe something can be done if the phone is rooted and using TWRP? Thanks for any help.

Wrong location when using high accuracy

I'm running stock 5.1.1 on the LMY48M build and when I have high accuracy enabled in location settings, it shows that I'm in Houston, TX. I'm on the other end of the country in Michigan though. If I go to Google Maps, it shows my correct location. It also shows the correct location if I switch to Device Only in location settings. But in Google Now and Chronus, with high accuracy enabled it shows Texas. Has anyone experienced this before? I've searched all over and couldn't find any information.
E: Also, I'm on Verizon.

Anyone tried using their samsung 2.0 amp charger?

Plugged my phone into a 2.0 charger from either b my s4 mini or my n3 before going to bed, woke up and phone wasnt fully charged. Didn't think anything of it, just went on my way. Now my phone just died completely went to use that same charger and didn't charge.

Downloaded a galaxy battery current charging app and it shows negative amperage when plugged into 2a charger. Also with the screen off it only shows one green dot instead of the trail leading to the battery.

Install Custom Recovery, Bootloader and Modem for S5 (g900f) using LINUX

Hey there,

I'd like to install a custom recovery as well as Update my S5's modem and bootloader under linux. How do I do that? The thing I actually find is that I could use Heimdall - but that's one is pretty old and doesn't work out. I'd really like to avoid using Windows since it annoys me any time I use it. >.<

I'm pretty sure some of you might know where I could find propper information. Please be so kind and provide me a few links on where to search!

Thank you!

My Note 4 freezes when using Facebook

Hello
i have just got myself a Note 4 and unfortunately it freezes pretty much every single time when i use Facebook. After a while the pop up shows that Facebook is not responding.
I have had a look online and found that some people have this problem which had Facebook preinstalled on the device.

Now, i am wondering if this would go away if i just install some custom ROM which hasn't got preinstalled Facebook.
The Note4 is a normal international version, not the Sprint or AT&T one
TIA

My Firephone Hangs then Reboots Often when using Mobile Network

Hi guys, I just recently bought a new FirePhone now on CM11 however what I noticed is that it keeps on rebooting like almost every time an application uses the internet connected to mobile network.

Has anyone experienced similar case as this? I tried not to use mobile internet and instead used Wifi and internet connection worked fine and there were no reboots.

I am using CM11 release of 09/15/2015. I followed well the steps on installation. Performed clean install and even installed GApps pico but still same outcome.

I hope someone can share what was done to prevent the sudden reboots when accessing mobile internet.

Notifications from Google Voicemail & using 3rd party SMS app (phone)?!?

Will the watch receive notifications from Google Voice(mail) app on the phone?

Also, has anyone been able to use a 3rd party SMS app (phone) with this watch without issues? I'd prefer to use Google Messenger instead of the factory SMS app.

Thanks!

Need help flashing device and using CWM and flashtool (First time user)

Hello
I am attempting to flash my Xperia Z ultra sol24 variant for the first time. However I am running into problems and cannot seem to make any progress.

Ultimately, the goal is to root the device, unlock the sim carrier (au_kiddy) and flash the device to the c6833 Global rom, whilst keeping the 32gb internal storage that this latest variant (sol24 Japan only) comes with.

I am following the guide here (Its in three steps):

1. http://tealic.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/1663/


2. http://tealic.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/1664/


3. http://tealic.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/1665/

Firstly (http://tealic.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/1663) I was told to backup and make a ftf backup using the sony PC companion and flashtool which I have done. The ftf file I had created is SOL24_14.3.C.0.239_au_KDDI.ftf

Then after doing so, the guide says to download the android SDK and adt bundle, then download the latest xperiaRootkit (rootkitXperia_20140719.zip) and extract the rootkit to platform tools folder of SDK and connect my XU to the pc using usb debugging the run the bat which will essentially root my device.
After doing so I downloaded the SuperSU app and finished the root.

I was then told to download the two files from (http://htcsoku.info/htcsokudev/rudim...aledition-rom/)
SOL24_Xperia_Z_Ultra_GlobalEdition_1.20.973.4.zip
SOL24_Xperia_Z_Ultra_GlobalEdition_Baseband.ftf
And place the GlobalEdition_1.20.973.4.zip onto my SD card, then using the XZU&Z1recoveryv4Windows tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...8#post45149758) boot into CWM mode and install the zip.

That is where my problem started, and upon installing the SOL24_Xperia_Z_Ultra_GlobalEdition_1.20.973.4.zip I selected the "reboot" option and upon reboot, it was stuck at the SONY logo and the phone would not boot any further.
I hard reset the XU and tried using the flashtool to flash SOL24_Xperia_Z_Ultra_GlobalEdition_Baseband.ftf as that is the next step, however the device was still stuck at the sony logo. So I attempted to flash my pre-made SOL24_14.3.C.0.239_au_KDDI.ftf file back to the device, which worked, but took me back to where I started.

I am trying to redo the steps above but I am getting an error, I have re-installed the XZU&Z1 recovery v4 Windows tool to the device, however it will not let me enter CWM mode on startup (The phone does not vibrate, nor does the green led appear) it just skips straight to the xperia logo and boots.

Is it possible that I have somehow flashed my pre-made SOL24_14.3.C.0.239 ftf incorrectly? There are three columns, "Wipe" "Exclude" and "MiscTA exclude" on the side of the flashtool that I have played around with, however after flashing a few times and going through the steps I'm still unable to get the CWM tool to work, and am ultimately stuck at the moment.

I feel this can be easily resolved, however I am not sure which ftf to download or even how to properly flash the ftf(What do I need to exclude from the ftf flash?)
Can I please request some assistance?

Need help using an email server

Hello,

I am trying desperately to have any email server working. I purchased ultimate pro and tried few other with no success.

All I need is to send an email to gmail via smtp2go; the request is to come from local net wifi and should be serviced via the phone data.

The application is to enable a robot to send emails via the phone data as a redundant route when the cables/isp are broken; the client robot would access the server on the phone by it's local ip

Many thanks in advance for any guidance

Relock bootloader + DRM restore - Z3C (D5803) using TWRP

Hi,
I just want to share my observations with you:
In just a few words: restoring TA (Trim Area) with TWRP seems to lock bootloader and restore DRM functions.
Of course: restoring a TWRP backup made before the unlock!!!

Details:
1) initial I'm on Stock KK (23.0.1.A.5.77)
2) root using giefroot_v3.1
3) install XZDualRecovery
4) flash latest firmware 23.4.A.0.564+root+XZDualRecovery (packed with PRFCreator_v0.9)
5) perform TWRP backup !
ACTUAL STATUS - decided to unlock.

6) unlock bootloader (phone reboots and performs a factory reset!!! )
Attachment 3476604

7)Restore backup from step 5 (including TA)
Attachment 3476605
Attachment 3476608
Here you can see Root status changed back to: "Bootloader unlock allowed:Yes" and all the keys are back.

How i notice this? Soft bricking my phone :D .
Just wanted to use AndroPlusKernel so I unlocked bootloader, restored backup, flashed AndroPlusKernel and..... didn't boot.
After revived my phone went testing why....

I hope it helps!

What Screen Protectors Are You Using?

Saw the Tempered Glass thread but wanted to see what other screen protectors you guys are using? I've been looking for a full edge to edge screen protector that feels hard for my new Edge+ I got last night! Never was a fan of the soft, orange peel, vinyl-like feel if you guys know what I mean. Ordered ArmorSuit and TechFilm off Amazon to test them out! Will post back when I get those in tomorrow.

G2 not detected in windows when using flashtool in download mode

Hi, first of all, I don't have my phone bricked, I'm on aosp and I want to test cloudy 3.3; I know I don't need to use a kdz method but as I didn't update official stock lollipop rom, I wan't to make a clean install.

The problem is that using any of the guides (kdz,tot method) I can't go further than entering in download mode, beacuse windows 10 isn't detecting the phone in download mode, I have installed the driver (different versions too) and nothing.. I'm desperate.

Has someone an idea??:confused::confused:

Using a Bluetooth selfie stick with zoom buttons and the LG G4

I have a problem with my G4 since buying and beginning to use this bluetooth selfie stick. The problem is that I cannot use the stick's zoom buttons with my phone, as they both act as a shutter button for some reason. Why is that happening and how can I resolve that issue so that the zoom buttons will operate as needed?

Thanks.

TWRP flashed, but still using android system recovery?

I'm trying to install TWRP on my Galaxy S6 (920F) running android 5.1.1

I've followed the steps (method 2): http://androiding.how/how-to-root-ga...-all-variants/
When I start up in recovery I see the android icon, after that I get a menu that looks very different than what TWRP should look like (saw some vids on youtube) and there is no option to flash the kernel..
The top says it's Android system recovery 3e, so I'm assuming the TWRP wasn't flashed..

I'm really confused, flashing my old galaxy s3 and rooting it was quite easy but Samsung really ****ed it up this time :eek:

Does anyone have a good tutorial for this? There is tons of tutorials but most of them are outdated, for the edge version or for some stupid branded US carrier phone.

Update: just tried this tutorial: http://galaxys6root.highonandroid.co...twrp-recovery/
Which resulted in a boot loop, so I did the CF auto root as suggested. Now my phone wont work at all. It's stuck on the Samsung Galaxy S6 powered by android screen.

Is there an app that opens certain apps using a certain date instead of system date??

I'm looking for an app that can open the apps I want using the date I specify always..

Something similar to RunAsDate software that we have for Windows computer..

Like for example, I always want to open WhatsApp using a certain date.
