It's that time again!

I spent 0 to get the screen fixed on my LG Optimus G and it hasn't work properly since. Unfortunately U Break It won't continue to tweak the screen issues because I have since dropped the phone again (a couple of times actually) but the problems existed before that.

The drops are caused by it's Gorilla Glass back, it's slipped out of my hands if I don't have a firm grip on it.

Anyway, I was waiting for the Moto G to drop and have had my eye on the 2GB/16GB model since my LG has has similar specs. The LG does take great video and pictures (on a tripod) so I will continue to use it in some capacity.

But I need a new daily driver and I want to save money. I don't mind paying 0 for the Moto G, but I have started to look at some other devices.

So should I just get the Moto G or -

Blu Studio 5 C Super Camera
Blu Studio X Plus
Asus ZenPhone 2 (16 GB version)

I don't want any former flagships (G3, etc) I want a fresh device, not a dethroned flagship...

Thanks

First time rooting. Own MOTOROLA DROID TURBO from Verizon. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,Im first time rooter and i have a problem to understand the whole story about this. I found all the step by step instructions how to root it to 5.1 lollipop(as much i understood i need to root it on kk and after to flash it to lollipop) but my concern is how to downgrade firmware from 21.21.15quark_verizon.en.us to firmware 21.44.12. so i can do a rooting after. I was digging all over internet especially on this forum and i couldn't find any instructions how to do it. I will need step by step about this. Please if there is anybody that can help me i would appreciate his help. Thank you

Think I screwed up big time...

I'm trying to send my Galaxy Note 2 in for warranty. It had accepted 4.3 OTA but I had rooted it afterward. So I went to restore to stock and unroot so I could send it in. I had just recently done another Note 2 (My dads) back to stock without a hitch so I figured it would be no big deal. Except I forgot one minor detail that his phone didn't take 4.3 OTA and still had unlocked bootloader. So I opened up Odin 3.07 and put PIT file in PIT and VRAMC3 firmware in PDA and hit start and the flash failed. Took me a few seconds to realize that I flashed the wrong firmware and should've been VRUEMJ9. I was panicing and downloaded VRUEMJ9 and attempted to flash that and it wouldn't even start the flash just failed right away. Now ODIN isn't even recognizing the phone anymore. Am I totally screwed here? I've been googling furiously and it sounds like maybe cause I selected a .PIT file it may have hard bricked my device? I just instinctively did that because it was required to make it work correctly on the last phone I did just a few weeks ago.

I can still access download mode but ODIN doesn't show anything in COM window. Trying to boot phone normally shows "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please use Software Repair Assistant & try again" I've tried repeatedly restarting phone and rebooting PC and reinstalling USB drivers.

Any help GREATLY appreciated. I really really really don't have the money to pay full price for this bricked phone :(

[Q] wi-fi reconnects one time after sleep... annoying...

ok, i started to get a bit pis**d off by this bug...

i've tried several roms (cloudy3.3, somboons stock, somboons thai food ones) and i still can't trace what is causing this...

here is the situation:
device is in screen off/sleep mode, wi-fi is turned off in sleep (no data is turned on - and that is ok)
when i turn the screen on - wifi turns on after few seconds - that is ok

after a minute or so - wifi turns off by itself, and reconnects again - and it stays on until i turn the screen off...

at first - it didn't bother me much, but it just started to get annoying and it pis**s me off because i can't find the culprit of that bug...

i've tried several things:
- reflashing the roms (clean flash)
- removing xposed mods one by one (i use 3 of them - g3tweaksbox, flat style indicators and xtoast)
- stock and dorimanx kernel
- changing wifi router channel (i'm running dual band router - 5ghz/2.4ghz, it makes no difference on which band i'm connected)

did anyone else notice this bug?
i googled like a MF and the closest thing i've found was connected to nexus devices on lollipop (similar reconnection issues, but worse)

thanks in advance...

Samsung Pay will NOT work for ANY unlocked phone at this time

I did the stupid mistake of buying the G921i thinking Samsung Pay would work with it but apparently it only works with USA certified versions =/

Is M8 the right phone for real time stereo image processing?

Hi everyone, it's my first post and it's great to be here.

I'm really into image processing and I want to go with 3d reconstruction (like Structrue From Motion aka SFM or stereo matching).

I know that HTC One m8 has 2 camera on its back which is great for stereo matching but even though there is an sdk is it possible to work on the depth data / both camera feeds in real time?

That will decide if I am going to buy M8 :)

Thanks

Bricked HD6 4th Generation, bought Christmas time 2014.

It's definitely bricked. I messed up the recovery, then proceeded to mess up the boot trying to fix the recovery without researching the possible side effects. Constant loop now.

Is there a way to utilize any standard warranty to replace my device? I've read that some people have good experiences with Amazon customer service with their HD Fire's. Is there anything I should omit about what's been done to the device or something I should say that has been done?

Audio Equalizer - Phase - Time Alignment

Hi
I'm usally listen to music linking my Samsung S4 to car stereo by bluetooth or wire. My car stereo has not a great equalizer, so I prefear to set equalizer directly from my audio player (poweramp).
I'd like to know if exist any apps, plugin or media player who allows to set "Time Alignment" parameter. May be some equalizer could name it "Phase".
This parameter make a little delay in left/right speaker for getting the best listening in relations to your position inside cockpit.

How could I get this kind of function?

Okay, it's time to ask for help. I can't flash anything!

Well....Almost, I have CM11 "working"

I have a (bestbuy) refurb HTC One M7spr ... I'm wondering if the CID may be incorrect o.O but I haven't messed with that on any of my previos phones.

give me a sec, I'll get back to my chromebook and edit this with a few more details (I'm in an office on a win pc at the moment)

I gave up and grabbed "rom.zip" from the %temp% folder, I'll detail my struggles in a few.

Here is my fastboot session (for my info and anyone willing to help figure this one out)

Wifi, time and root

Hi there,
I'm using CM 12.1, 20150817 version. It's working well, apart from one really annoying thing:
My wifi will not reconnect to networks. Or at least most of the time.
If I set up a new network, it all goes very well, but as soon as I'm out of reach and come back in reach, something goes wrong. My phone sees the wifi network, but doesn't connect. It's in the list of available networks, but just doesn't connect at all. If I manually tell it to connect, nothing happens. The only way to get wifi data again is to tell my phone to forget the network and hook up to it again.
It's not just my home network. It also happens with the work network.
I told it to not avoid bad connections, so that can't be it, besides, the connection is typically very good. Other devices hook up without problems.
Any clues as to what could be going wrong here and how to fix it? My mobile data is going through the roof because of this.

Another thing, less annoying, but probably quite important to the developers is this odd phenomenon:
I traveled to China recently (from Holland) and after I arrived, I set the timezone manually to Chinese time zone. After doing that, time is in sync with local time.
After I did a reset, the phone's clock had shifted on hour back. The local time was off by one hour, and so was the time my phone showed for my home timezone.
I had to manually set the time to the right time, for things to be normal again.
Same happened on the way back, but the other way around. After a reset, the phone's clock was suddenly an hour ahead.

One other thing; somewhere in the last update I managed to loose root privileges. How do I get it back? I would like to give some apps root access.

Cheers,
Menno

3.Screen_off_timeout_rollback and Screen_off_timeout

4. change 30000 to 45000 (or whatever sec you like...15000 (15 sec) 20000 (20sec))

5. done :) you shouldnt need to reboot but do it anyway.
