[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hans Schmucker:
AndroZIP has a function to export installed APKs to SD or if you're familiar with ADB you can log in and get the files from /data/app/. That is, if you still have the phone... I'm a bit unclear on that from what you're saying in your original post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimcarroll:
Thanks Hans. I used "my backup" and saved app and key to SD card and then put SD into new device. It was very easy.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grant Barker:
Thanks for that info. I took the Better Keyboard 8 info down from my Keyboards page because I thought it was discontinued. Had I known, I would have just relinked to Amazon and SlideMe.

i am wondering if i need root on my Asus Transformer 3.2 to use the sixaxis app and dualshock 3 controller. I do not own one and might consider it but i need to know, since i do not want to root it. Thanks :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] super-6-1:
If you can, wait till tomorrow thats when i get my TF. Ill be doing this first but in theory you DONT have to root, there is a application in the market, search sixaxis and it should come up as two version, the paid which is what you want and the comparability checker.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nullinvoid:
clearly says root IS required, try reading the app description
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryguymoeller:
It will be a great buy for you. Let me know if it works for you :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
By cable, it just works, (3.1 onwards), no root needed, no apps needed.

By Bluetooth, you need root, and to buy an app from the marketplace..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yod-b:
I have a question, and you people seem to be experts ;)

So, I have a Prime, with ICS, and I've read that I don't need root anymore. BUT! How do I map the buttons for the different games? Do I need an app for that, or it just works out of the box?

Thanks :)

[Xoom Accessories] silverball.slayer:
Why do these manufacturers insist on putting magnets in a case that holds a gps device with magnetic compass?! This completely throws off the compass heading and probably affects navigation too. The Incipio kickstand case is pretty nice, even if it does add a little too much bulk. I may just write the company and request a replacement case that does not have magnets, or otherwise try to remove the magnets myself.

Rob
[Xoom Accessories] bobblack:
Well I'm about to get a case for mine, had been looking at one with magnets... Thanks for this thread, I wasn't aware magnets would cause such problems. One would assume that case manufacturers know what they are doing... geez.

Xoomed from my xda app using send.
[Xoom Accessories] silverball.slayer:
There is definitely a good chance that the magnets would interfere with the compass. Incipio replied and offered to exchange the case for one of their other ones, but I really like their folio case even if it's a bit thick. You are right though, the manufacturers need to be more aware that putting magnets in a tablet case is a big no-no! I don't know how much an inaccurate compass reading would affect navigation, but it does affect initial heading position when you get a gps fix. The compass in the xoom works really well though and doesn't always need calibrating like some others. Yet in a car with all that metal it can still throw the compass off..... I am just debating on attempting to remove the magnets from the case or just leaving it alone.

Rob
[Xoom Accessories] bobblack:
Yeah it's really hard to find a good case that doesn't use magnets... I still haven't decided which one to get because of that lol.

One question came to me earlier - are you sure that the Xoom has a magnetic compass at all? I really don't know, when I first read your post it made sense, but now that I think about it - isn't the compass simply using two consecutive GPS positions (i.e. "1 second ago" + "right now") to determine the vector / direction of travel?

Apart from that, I'm not questioning the effect of magnets on computer hardware in general. I don't think that a magnet as tiny as the ones they build into cases could have any ill effect on hardware though.

It would be great if someone could chime in who has made an experience (good or bad) with a magnetic case - or maybe shed some more light on this...
[Motorola Droid X2] d-style:
I'm just puttig this out there for those people that have problems with streaming audio. I bought my Droid X2 about 3 weeks ago. I listen to music and news every day at work on my X2 using Pandora, Slacker Radio, and TuneIn Radio. With all 3 apps audio streaming would work fine for 15-30 min then stop. When I woke the phone up the streaming would resume or I would have to restart the app for it to resume. It's as if the phone would stop the app from streaming when it turns off. I use Widget Locker and Power Strip and even when i turn both of those off the streaming stops. The only workaround I have found so far is to use the Nolock app from the market to turn off the lock screen completely. So far i have had no problems streaming.

I hope this helps someone that might be having the same problems.

FYI i am running stock gingerbread unrooted. This was also happening on stock froyo rooted and unrooted.

[LG Optimus 3D] vpamir:
It's possible then. Only someone has to figure out how. Is it really that difficult to get the bluetooth related files/drivers/whatever from the CyanogenMod and make it an installable zip package which then we can use to flash over a stock rom?

Hello,

Ive bought SGH-T959V in the USA. Actually, i live in Poland, Europe. Is there any way to install Polish language? Can i for example, flash the phone with Android which supports Polish language? I have 2.2.1 Froyo installed now. Downgrade/Upgrade will brick the phone? I could for example downgrade to 2.1 Polish firmware. Is it possible? Thanks in advance

Um your in the wrong forum, this is the SGH-T959 forums, the SGH-T959v is the 4g version, and strange as it may seem, they are very different and you probably wont get too much good help here.. not that we vibrant owners arent nice people :)

Speaking generally, yes, you should be able to up/downgrade to a version of android that supports polish, likely without bricking ... but thats the beat guess i can fathom

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] togekk:
Hi.

I'm using an International Atrix, and I flashed this ROM.

(ROM)STAR WARS ROM ULTIMATE 2.0 Ginger Blizzard HOTH edition(amazing battery life)

The battery life is very amazing, but it shows my total RAM is only 371 mb, and 98 mb left. Is this the kernel's problem? Do I have to change the kernel? But I really like this kernel. Or is there any way to fix it?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neer2005:
You have to flash an international kernel such as faux123's or kholks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnetox:
I'd actually recommend edgans over both of those kernels. It has great battery life and speed.
[Nexus S Android Development] thekurrgan:
This is nothing more than a download and compile of the code from android.git.kernel.org compiled with target=crespo

It has absolutely no mods, and 1 file was added to the build to fix the accelerometer. (Many thanks to BuglessPete for informing me the file I needed)

Again, it doesnt get any more basic than this.

I was looking for an unmodified AOSP build, and couldnt find one that didnt seem to have some mods, so I figured i'd build it and share incase anyone else is looking.

Instructions:

Download the zip file.

You will need fastboot and adb for windows.

once you've got these files, extract everything into one directory.

eg, fastboot adb AND the rom files are in the same directory.

If you've never modded your phone (really?) you will need to unlock it.

open a command prompt and go to the dir you extracted everything to and run:

THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA. BACKUP FIRST.

Turn on USB Debugging.

Connect the phone to your computer.

run these commands:

adb reboot bootloader

wait until android BL screen appears and then type

fastboot oem unlock

You should now have an open lock below the google logo when the phone reboots.

Let it go through its paces, then when the screen comes up to the "Welcome to Nexus S" and skip everything, and go make sure USB debugging is enabled.

then run:

adb reboot bootloader

when at the bootloader, you may do:

fastboot -w flashall (This should flash the entire phone, boot,recovery,system & userdata)

If the doesnt work for whatever reason, use these commands:

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (omit this if you have CWM and want to keep it)

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

This should get you a basic, straight AOSP of GB 2.3.5 WITH NO GAPPS.

I used the latest from CM7.

Other considerations:

If you are on a 9020A (ATT) 2.3.5 will not allow you to flash if your baseband is UCKE1.

This baseband doesnt allow HSUPA, so I recommend ditching it anyway.

Go here and install Radio KD1 (NOT UCKD1!)using window7's instructions.

Obviously, I am not responsible for the any planetary damage done by this, to your phone, or subsequent brickings that may occur (has any one bricked a Nexus S?)

Credit would go to google, and BuglessPete.
[Nexus S Android Development] matt2053:
Thanks so much. I built this the other day, but I hit the same problem with the accelerometer. Please share how you fixed it.
[Nexus S Android Development] thekurrgan:
BuglessPete informed me the file that needed to be added. It is libakm.so

I pulled it from CM7 nitely 159 (this is 2.3.5, not sure if they got their hands on source, but figured if it works on theirs and is the same version, it was the best bet rather than using 2.3.4 version that was on my phone)

The file resides in a build rom in /system/vendor/lib

Extract this file and place it in vendor/samsung/crespo/proprietary

then edit vendor/samsung/crespo/device-crespo.mk

add the file to the list of files to copy in the PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \

then add

vendor/samsung/crespo/proprietary/libakm.so:system/vendor/lib/libakm.so

this is my edited file:

# Prebuilt libraries that are needed to build open-source libraries
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES := \
vendor/samsung/crespo/proprietary/libsecril-client.so:obj/lib/libsecril-client.so

# Samsung blobs necessary for crespo
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
vendor/samsung/crespo/proprietary/libsecril-client.so:system/lib/libsecril-client.so \
vendor/samsung/crespo/proprietary/samsung_mfc_fw.bin:system/vendor/firmware/samsung_mfc_fw.bin \
vendor/samsung/crespo/proprietary/libsec-ril.so:system/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so \
vendor/samsung/crespo/proprietary/libakm.so:system/vendor/lib/libakm.so

That should make the accelerometer work.

I have searched the photon forums with no complete answer. Is there any way to unlock it to work with At&t.
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
Sprints past practice on world phones is for the GSM to be unlocked but to have the radios blocked for any US GSM carriers

[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
No US Sprint phone will EVER work on AT&T, TMobile, or Verizon... period. This is a timeless question with the same answer every time. Even if the phone supports International GSM... it doesn't support domestic GSM.. and will never
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Uhm...why. please explain.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lynyrd65:
A better question might be why unlock this phone for use on AT&T. I switched from AT&T to Sprint because Sprint is better. You should too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
Aside from Sprint being better :)

There are US communication laws. You'd think by now they would make a single phone and just put all GSM and CDMA frequencies in the same phone and be done with it... let it activate anywhere..

But carriers would never be able to keep a customer if they were flipflopping the signal of the moment. Sprint especially would never risk losing customers to another carrier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] myphone12345:
The Photon's hardware does support the US GSM frequencies. I am sure at some point someone will figure out a way to reprogram the phone to get around not being able to register on domestic GSM carriers.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sndtubes:
Wrong. The HTC Touch Pro 2 was a int'l phone like the photon. It also had the US GSM carriers locked out. Eventually there WAS a hack that got the phone working with att et al.
[Motorola Photon 4G] unsane:
Just as the last user pointed out, you are incorrect. I personally Had a Sprint touch pro 2 which I used on both Tmobile and Att networks. You could simply make a few screen taps to get from network to network. There is no doubt that as the photon gets more popular the Devs will figure out an unlock.....
[Motorola Photon 4G] migpol08:
So does it mean that if it gets unlocked it will be able to work not only on at&t but with other carriers also?
[Motorola Photon 4G] franckpascal:
When Unlocking, always use unlocking codes. There are many sites providing unlocking codes. I had a personal experience in unlocking my BB 8900 phone from ClassicUnlocking.com which is a reliable service unlocks the phone within 30 minutes and also cheap.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sndtubes:
I am hoping so. My new wife is with AT&T and where we are going to live, Sprint's data is HORRIBLE. My 3G speed never exceeds 400 kbs where her 3G speeds will top 2100 kbps. Also, AT&T DOES have 4G in the neighborhood. So, I'm hoping to be able to pop her SIM card in and use the faster data once in a while, but still retain the unlimited (slow) data from Sprint.

So, unfortunately, there ARE reasons to choose AT&T over Sprint. Personally, I wish Sprint would improve their network.
[Motorola Photon 4G] twolostminds:
Umm...I've used my Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 with AT&T, Boost & GoPhone SIM's here in the US.
[Motorola Photon 4G] autoprime:
the sprint blackberry tour had a sim slot that when unlocked worked on tmobile/att. so sprint hasnt locked out EVERY gsm capable worldphone ;)

any update on getting this to work with tmobile/att?
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I am also looking for an answer to this. I am with AT&T and can't really move with Sprint at this point but I'd love to use Photon on AT&T :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
No luck for you. Still waiting on a magic fairy to give us a radio that unlocks domestic gsm. :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] noefects:
I wouldn't hold your breath on GSM. you could always get an atrix if you are tied into a contract, same hardware essentially, I think most of us are pushing for custom roms like cm7 and a boot loader that doesn't loose 4g. I'm sure at some point it will happen on the photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ffttgghh:
this isn't an issue of a sim lock, which unlock codes are generally good for. This is an issue of the photons gsm radio being blocked from using domestic US gsm service. There are other threads where people have used unlocking services (after being told it wouldn't work) and found out that in fact...it did not work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
I remember I had to do the hack on Droid2 Global to allow US Bands and I was hoping someone would or could do the same for Photon where you just change couple of hex entries and your radio is ready for AT&T.

So, you are saying that there is nobody at this point trying to look into the current radio to see what exactly is blocking US Bands? I have no experience with radios but tethering and google talk over 3g are just basically db entries or flags that can be flipped. Can we not isntall the Motorola Electrify's radio since they are essentially the same devices?
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
sure, i wont be the one to test it. any idea on how to pull the modem file off the electrify? and then figure out a way to flash it?

ive noticed some things say they can withstand 1 meter for 30 minutes.. after converting that to feet, its about 3. 3 feet.. why the hell would something be rated at 3 feet for 30 minutes? i cant see a time that will ever be relevant, short of me lying dead in a kiddy pool, and wanting to make sure my text messages survive.

is there a way to convert this to something useful? like how far down i can actually go? assuming i feel like taking my phone for a swim, or actually do fall in a pool/water, id like to know i can hit the bottom of the pool and come back up without my phone breaking.. so how does 1 meter for 30 minutes convert to something like 3 meters or 4?

Maybe it's 2 meters for 15 minutes and so on? Not sure

[Off-topic] brahmy:
The Wikipedia article for this is pretty interesting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Resistant_mark

There is an international standard that dictates the language used to describe the water-resistance of things like watches and phones.

Think about your watch or phone (or other waterproof device) like a balloon filled with air. If you submerge a balloon in the water in your bathtub, it probably won't pop, but if you take one down to the bottom of a swimming pool, the water pressure may be strong enough to crush the balloon.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
That's because you don't go diving. Usually, it's for about 10 meters or so for 30 minutes. That's enough for a shallow dive. 1 meter for 30 minutes will be appropriate for water-resistant watches. That means if it rains (bar cats and dogs/hail), your phone will probably survive it.
