who knows how to port an application of an android phone to another?
[LG Optimus 2x] scooter42:
Hi, I am thinking of getting the LG 2x because it comes with the bootloader already unlocked, so does it INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTEE to flash the Rom?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I'd imagine so yes, but you can revert back to stock very easily.
[LG Optimus 2x] scooter42:
Oh BTW, if anyone can answer tonight, I would be grateful, cos experia offer ends midnight! ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] scooter42:
Lol! - you must have posted that while i was typing! ;-)

Also, do you know if there is a Rom with HTC sense 3 for the x2??
[LG Optimus 2x] GoDzPlaY:
There is no rom with sense 3 ui !!

Try for MIUI ROM it has a sense theme which gives little bit similar ui as that of htc sensation !!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] gregor40:
It depends on your country LG policy whether it will invalidate your warranty or not. At best ask your local LG branch.
[LG Optimus 2x] felipegeorge:
The bootloader is locked or not in lg O2x?

The bootloader is locked or not?

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader as in lg g-slate tablet?
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
It is not locked.

for those who want to get rid of google voicemail, uninstall app then *73 from ur phone..

google voice jacked my voicemail until I did *73...turns all forwarding off
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
I used to love Google Voice, but the pure amount of RAM it gobbles up was a deal killer for me. Once I uninstalled it, I could never get my VM back. Surprisingly, a verizon rep helped me get it back over the phone. This is good stuff to know though if I ever try again...
[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
Really? Never uses a lot of ram for me. Like maybe 10mb, which is pretty dang good for a cloud to device app with VMs, texts, etc. And 10 isn't much. I have been using Google Voice for two years. Never give out my real number. Ever ever ever.
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
Yea same here, even though you don't need the app to call forward to your number, I live in a bad reception area so texts over wifi is definite plus too.
[Motorola Droid X2] xerotix:
thanks, very helpful
[Motorola Droid 3] yus4eel:
I did a factory reset after my phone was being a bit glitchy and now it wont connect to 3g or send text messages...help? Should I just go to verizon or what
[Motorola Droid 3] pplude:
yeah, that looks like a malformed recovery. Call VZW
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
Have you tried *228 and update programming?
[Motorola Droid 3] spacecasespiff:
Yes do the 228 it will get your 3g back. Most of the time when you do a factory reset it will automatically give you that option of dialing 228 but if it doesn't open up your dialer and do it.
[Motorola Droid 3] royolpunk:
This is the exact same thing that happened to me when I did a reset. You have to reactivate your phone

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shingonati0n:
This may be a somewhat noobish question, but...

Can I update directly to WB TW V4 from 3.6.0 without full wipe data??

I ask based on Wolf's post, since it says does not wipe data.

thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kat-CeDe:
Hi,

as far as I know it should be possible. I did it from 3.9 and it worked perfectly and all data still there.

Ralf
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gadgetz:
If Wolf said it doesn't wipe data, why are you asking?

But to answer your question again, it does not wipe data and yes you can flash v4 right over v3.6....but like always, make a back up of your apps/data/contacts just in case.

So I tried connecting to my wifi today and my Shift stalls out at the obtaining IP address from router portion. Any fixes for this?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdrury88:
Try setting up a static ip adress. Run command prompt as administrator on a computer on the same network and type in ipconfig. You can use the info from that to set it up
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jesusice:
Are you on a custom ROM or kernel? If so, which one? Have you verified it's not the router's problem? You tried resetting it first, right?

I'm actually running a stock Shift, stupid OTA GB update, anyway it seems that after a couple resets and forgetting the network a few times it works now, but thanks for the willingness to help!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
the GB stock is very unstable.... ive had CONSTANT CRASHES... after every app i close the nice lovely white screen with green HTC pops up. its highly annoying. i just pray they perm root this or im updating. the Wifi is very picky. some days it works and others it dont.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
The reason your having these issues is because on GB the Memory values are too aggressive. You could try V6 SuperCharger to change the memory values. I have used it in the past with great results.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyhassen:
Last i checked or thought..... that was more towards the rooted phones. i could be wrong. but something like that i would assume it would be for rooted. and you cant perm root 2.3.3 which i doubt will be any time soon...
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
You can temp root. Which will better than being dealing with the stock OTA BS. It will at least give you more options.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodries:
can this antivirus increase battery drain?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Raviteja:
I think it won't drain Battery
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamRwoo:
Any additional app/service that runs in the background will increase battery drain, there's no way around that. The only relevant question is how much extra drain a particular app will cause.

That being said, I haven't used this particular app (yet...considering installing it now), but I imagine that any anti-virus software is going to place a relatively high demand on the battery; meaning you probably will notice a decrease in battery life.

You may be able to mitigate the effect by tweaking some settings within the application, but if you turn off too much you defeat the purpose of having the antivirus in the first place.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Do you really need an Antivirus in GSII?

I will never install one anyway.

[HTC EVO 3D] culljosh:
I posted my first post in the wrong section but I will try it here:

This is my first post and, I am truly sorry if I did not see anything already in General about a Rom Selection.

My first root is going to be a EVO 3D. I have found your page on doing so and it was very useful. (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1192245)

I just need suggestions on what ROM to take on. I saw that the biggest are the mikG and Viper rom. If my understanding is correct you can get better battery life with Viper? Thats what I am aiming for.

Also once flashed could I go back to the original stock rom, lets say if sprint found out? or my phone broke and I needed to get a new one? I am sure some sort of warranty is not valid.

Also would Windows be the best option to root with or could I just use my iMac?

I greatly appreciate your time and if I am overstepping my bounds then I would be glad if you could point me in the right direction.

Thanks much.

Culljosh
[HTC EVO 3D] moosh3:
Hey culljosh! You seem like a pretty nice guy :) I own a macbook pro but for using revolutionary its soooo much easier to hop on a windows machine, I recommend that if it's possible. When it comes to Roms I have ran steel, supra, viper, and virus and my favorite is virus because of the lack of sense and 12 hours battery. Viper is my second choice, I love the developers and the control script rocks! After you use revolutionary you can flash twrp, which is a custom recovery. After you flash that you can use the option called nandroid back up which copies your whole phone and then gives you the option to go back to it if something goes wrong. So do that right after rooting and you will be good to go! Throw anymore questions at me, and welcome to xda :). If you want instant support the channel #htc-evo-3d on irc.freenode.net is active with some really nice people. If you don't know about irc, googling will help you out. I typed this from my shooter so sorry if something is messy :D
[HTC EVO 3D] CheesyNutz:
every phones different test some roms see what works best for your phone simple run each one 2 days that's normally a good amount of time to see how the rom will perform
[HTC EVO 3D] culljosh:
Thanks guys. I am rooting for the first time and selected the viper rom cause I read it removes bloatware and battery life is a better. Any other suggestions?

CHEERS
[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
Just like Cheezy said Rom is a personal choice and all phones perform a little differently despite having the same hardware. You really have to test each rom out and see which one is for you and your phone. I prefer virus airbourne, but you may like something else. My battery was at 66% when I went to bed last night. That was after 16 hours of light to moderate use.
[HTC EVO 3D] culljosh:
On the rom you are using is the 3D cam working correctly?

I actually installed viper 1.3 and the bloatware is missing but no 3d Cam action ;/

Kind of sad at the end of it.

CHEERS!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corizo:
Hey guys,

I seriously need your help. I can't receive MMS (S!Mail) with my Nexus S and the japanese carrier Softbank, no matter what I try. Last year the same problem with my old Motorola Milestone.

Android 2.3.5, CM ROM #167 nightly

Baseband: I9023XXKD1

In 2009, I bought a silver USIM Prepaid from Softbank (still valid) with a Softbank 822p phone.

Until now I tried the smile.world and openmms APN, different Apps (Handcent SMS, Go SMS Pro, Softbank Mail), but I can only receive notifications. It shows a download button, but if I hit that, I get the instant error "download not possible. Please try again later". Wifi turned off.

This didn't help as well:

If anybody can help, that would be great! Every little hint is appreciated.

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...arp-Android-phones-with-Softbank-(Go-SMS-Pro)

i can confirm it works on my DHD
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrixl:
The key is not only getting the right apns but also getting that user agent string in your mms app.

Cyanogen mod can do it, or go sms pro too if you don't want to run cm.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corizo:
@SQ3.0dotJP

Not even the Softbank Mail App works, giving me the same error message as other apps. The solution you quoted wont work as well.

Regarding error messages: the only thing I can achieve is that either I get an instant error message (cant download...) or a timout error message (trying to download...after some time: cant download).

I think it's a minor detail, but I cant figure it out.

@patrixl

How to configure the User Agent with CyanogenMod? The only option I know is within message apps like Go SMS Pro and Handcent SMS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SQ3.0dotJP:
The user agent code is in the line i posted. You tried it in go with no results? Wish i could help. Where are you BTW?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travisler:
Hi guys,

I've spent the entire day trying to get this to work.

Just FYI, I have a Nexus S, rooted, Cyanogen mod 7 and just got a prepaid sim from softbank.

I've followed the instructions given here to the letter. Go SMS Pro is certainly a better app than the Softbank crap.

I can received messages, as in I caan see the title, but when I click them it says "Currently Unable to Download. Please Try Again Later". The same thing happens in the softbank app or another mms.apk I got where you could change the User Agent from a list. I also cannot send any messages, it just sits there with the little circle going around and around.

I've tried both the APNs that came with the Sim (Softbank(open) and Softbank(smile.world)) with no luck at all. I also downloaded the App the guy in the quoted post suggested, but it fails with any APN or web proxy combination.

I've also looked at other APNs online and tried a whole bunch.

I don't understand what setting is wrong. I've literally spent about 8 hours on this now, and I think I may be going a little crazy.

ANY help with this will be rewarded with knowing you have made my year (or at least my month).

Thanks very very much,

N.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tanjierong:
hey travisler just wondering - is your Nexus s a cdma version? I've been trying to get prepaid s-mail to work on my samsung captivate and it hasn't really been working. I'm just wondering if it's a hardware issue like whether the captivate just can't connect to softbank's mms network
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travisler:
Hey tanjierong,

My phone is from Korea so is GSM I'm pretty sure.

It is all still working fine, if you can connect to softbank (ie. you can make a call or recieve) then this hack should work for you. It has worked for a few other friends here too now with random android phones.

Hope you get it sorted.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeROboneZ:
Thanks

Omg travisler... I've been cracking my head since one month in Japan. Using Xperia s and I just can't get the app working. Tried several methods like pushing through mms.apk file using adb still doesn't works. Until I came across your post, works like a charm dude. Thanks a lot. Now I don't have to carry two phones at once :P :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J0ckie:
Great bit of info you have provided here travisler.

I have put my Softbank 'dumbphone' (708sc) grey SIM into my Motorola Milestone, Cyanogenmod 7 phone. I want to use it like a 'dumbphone' that can use wifi so I have no need for a 'smartphone' data plan. It works as a telephone and I am in the process of getting 'text messaging' working. I have been reading quite a bit online and there is much information about getting MMS to work.

When one enables data as the APN guide instructs, this will only apply to MMS and not accidentally lead to huge bills for someone without a smart-phone data plan will it?

I followed the 'GO SMS' guide but not the 'APN Settings' guide and I ignored 'Softbank Mail', then rebooted. I get a new MMS sender and title notification in GO MMS Pro but when I try to download the full message I get the warning "please check that the network is available".

So I followed the instructions in the 'APN Settings' guide. There were already a couple of Softbank APNs there, they had a radio button beside them but my new one didn't. After a reboot there was a new icon (3G?) in the notification bar and I could download MMS but the first SB APN was still checked - I suppose the phone was using that SB APN and not the custom one. I removed both the original 2 SB APNs and rebooted and now I am back to receiving the warning "please check that the network is available" when I try to download MMS.

My MMS address is ****@q.vodafone.ne.jp as I already had a Vodafone subscription when Softbank took over and I cannot change the address to ****@softbank.ne.jp, would this require a tweak on the MMS settings I inputted?

Or perhaps my SIM card is the issue. It is not a 'pre-paid' SIM but one from my contracted 'dumb-phone'.

I'd appreciate some help please.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasabah:
Thank you very much!

This worked for me with the white prepaid SIM.

I did all the steps you listed and used the first APN settings that you recommended, except that I had to set the APN type to "default,mms".

If I only enter "mms", I would sometimes get the 3G icon, but I could not download the messages.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dharkness:
I tried this and still no go. I have a sh203 sharp from softbank. I added the apn but i cannot edit the stock apn since i cannot find a way to root my phone.

[Acer Iconia A500] BAlGaInTl:
I'm loving my A500.

I was wondering if anyone had explored getting a USB Smart Card (CAC) reader working on these?

It would be great to be able to get my work email on the go in a pinch...

I currently have the following USB readers that I can use with various computers:

SCR 3500

SCR 331

I prefer the SCR 3500 because of its portablility, but would be open to just about any USB reader.

I can't post links yet, but specs and more info can be found at

Not even some speculation on this one?
[Motorola Droid X2] Xeno62277:
I've been noticing (especially since a little after the GB update) my battery dying very quickly... sometimes not lasting more than 6 hours of moderate use.

I started reading threads here, there, and anything a google search would bring back. Apparently the battery drain is caused by the system's suspend process going rogue. I installed the full version of System Panel to monitor my usage, and sure enough suspend was taking up a lot more cpu cycles than anything else on my phone.

From reading further there isn't any specific phone setting/app that can fix this bug. Then I read something interesting... someone said that they only see the problem if they plug their phone in (usb or wall charge... doesn't matter), then unplug it without a restart.

Since I sit at a desk all day I frequently plug my phone in (nandroid backups, moving files to/from my sd card, etc.). I decided to do a test. I already have Tasker kill my ringer when my phone is plugged into any usb, so I added an exit task to reboot the phone when I disconnect usb.

I disconnected my phone from usb, and it restarted automatically... exactly what I wanted. Since then I haven't seen suspend do a damn thing. I have turned wifi on/off, killed data sync/turned back on, etc... all the things people have tried to fix the issue. Still nothing over the past couple of hours for suspend.

I will continue to monitor... so far it looks very promising.
[Motorola Droid X2] Sam0883:
Look forward to seeing your results!
[Motorola Droid X2] Loswave:
Yeah, I'm betting that will work just fine. I've been seeing it go nuts after being plugged in for a while and did mention it in another thread. I was suspicious of suspend but hadn't had enough time to be sure. Now that I know its that well have to see if there is a more elegant fix than restarting every time we unplug. That does work though. Good job point out the exact problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] colonel187:
What are you using to auto reboot when u-plugged??? I can't find that option in system panel or task manager.
[Motorola Droid X2] les017:
Appliation called TASKER. It allows your phone to autoperform routines based oncertain events
[Motorola Droid X2] ferg40:
How did you set up the profile? I've been missing around for a bit and i cant figure it out...
[Motorola Droid X2] colonel187:
I tried the reboot trick and im going on 16 hours at 70% battery. Plus system panel shows cpu under 1% when device is suspended.
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
Thank you for finding this out. I tried this on my DX2 after full charge and its at 62% going on 11 and a half hours with moderate use.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
Will deff. do from now on, would love to know wtf is up with this.
[Motorola Droid X2] colonel187:
Seems like every phone has there bugs. I came from htc incredible and ut wont charge to 100% while on. You have to bump charge it while off to get the lost 10%
[Motorola Droid X2] stick1300:
So, are you supposed to unplug, then restart or shut down (while still plugged in), unplug, then restart? I understood it as the latter, but you're making it sound like the former. I tried method two today and I'm at 50% after 13hrs of moderately heavy use (1-2hr streaming music, a lot of texting, etc.), which I'm pretty happy with. It's a definite improvement over the last few days.

[Motorola Droid X2] Erockk:
does it have to be a full reboot or can it be a hot reboot?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
So far this seems to be working for me. I did the reboot after unplug this morning. Will update later on. Battery hasn't dropped nearly as quickly as it has before when going through these forums using the browser on the 3g network connection. It used to flat out suck the life outrageous my battery in what seemed like 2hrs flat before when browsing on 3g...

If its as simple as rebooting my phone after every charge im cook with that as i have read it's good to reboot at least once a day anyways and that seems like the perfect time for doing it. Thanks to the info. VERY useful
[Motorola Droid X2] colonel187:
Not sure. If you can hotboot and it works. I would like to know.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Sry but what exactly is hotboot? Is that when u reboot with option on power button instead of just power down wait and power up?
[Motorola Droid X2] Xeno62277:
After a few days I can definitely say that having Tasker reboot my phone after unplugging from USB has GREATLY improved my battery life. Tasker is kind of expensive as far as apps go... you could always get a free reboot widget from the market, and just remember to hit it when you unplug :)
