Just thought I'd let ppl know that the "Magic Sim 29th A Cut ultra slim" does work in the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Interestingly I only found the 29th cut on the eurodualsim site. It wasn't available on the dualsim site. I emailed them and they said 29th cut works with android 2.3.x

Its a bit fiddly but it works.

However you will need an older phone to set the sim adaptor to the correct mode. On stock settings, it did not work in the galaxy.

It comes on default in "stk" mode which will only work on non android phones Im guessing etc. I loaded it up in my old nokia and found the dual sim menu option.

These are the things I had to do to get it working...

1. In the nokia phone, I put each sim card in separately before cutting and saved in contacts on each sim.... 001 as contact and number in sim 1 and 002 as contact and number in sim 2.

2. I then cut the sims to fit into the adaptor. Booted up the phone, accessed the dualsim menu and changed the mode to 007 mode (which means changing by entering key codes and no menu). I did have to cut a very small amount of the metal part of the sim.

3. Put the dualsim into the Galaxy. There is a slight delay with logging onto the network of the primary sim. To change sim you type 002 and dial and then hang up. A pop up notification says it is changing sim.

4. I found switching back to sim 1 that the network sometimes said it was still on network 2, even though it was actually back on network 1. A reboot fixed this.

Its very sensitive and sims have to be sitting in the adaptor quite precisely, other wise it won't work and you have to adjust the sims a bit. So now I have my main sim (Telstra) in sim 1 and a calling card sim in sim 2.

My Telstra sim had the old large metal chip which was bigger than the space for the sim in the adaptor, so I got it switched to a microsim.

The 29th gen doesn't actually exist. There's a 28th gen PLUS. If you email magicsim directly you'll find i'm right. You've either been sold a fake product or its been misrepresented as a 29th gen unit.

Hope this helps
[Galaxy S II Accessories] desire888:
Thats interesting....

Just checked eurodualsim.com again...and it clearly states 29th cut...I will email them to see what they say...

Im guessing its the 28th plus then... Just got a reply email they state "there are 2 names for magicsim 29th - 29th is firmware generation, 28th plus is the commercial name" so question answered

Anyway...just an update...

I was trialing a lot of different prepaid sims to see if they worked. In the end the adaptor stopped working. I followed all the instructions about pressing certain points on the cover and not go. So emailed them and they said to post it back and they would check it. However if it was broken due to "bad manipulation" then no go.

On the site in the faq in very bad English they state "Magicsim dual sim card use the most toughness and soft plank with the resistance to enfold and compression. Please trust to use it. It’s under guarantee except human factor and nature loss"

I had to post back at my own cost. They checked it and sent me an email saying there were traces of "heavy manipulation". Of course there was as it states in the faq..."Use a ball pen to press 12 round points on the back of cutting dual sim card"

However they replaced the adaptor free on charge and said to be more gentle on it next time! I did not have to pay for postage to send back to me.

The new adaptor worked out of the box, no jiggling, no pressing etc I think the original one I had may have been defective as it was so sensitive to placement from the beginning.

I have also discovered when pressing on Sim Toolkit the dual sim menu is there!!! Im sure this didnt work in the first adaptor.

So all in all a great product and great customer service!!! Definately a safe place to buy from.

Autoswith ?

Hello,

I can see that you are using this kit and since I have the same I would like to ask you, if you had the opportunity to use the Autoswitch function, if that works for you. I can only switch manually from one sim to another.

Thanks

Hi all,

I saw in the Android development topic that it's possible to unlock the bootloader.

Why would I want to unlock the bootloader? What are the (dis-)advantages?

Greets,

Jarcol
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ishan Sardar:
The bootloader in our phone lock us down from pretty much doing anything to.the phone. But when we unlock it we are then able to control the phone ourselves. (theoretically) we are able to do what the hell we want to this phone now. For example unlocking the bootloader simply allows you to flash unsigned/modified .sin files.

Now. This will not happen overnight as there is a lot of things to it mate. What you need to remember is there is hardware to think about and and a hell of a lot more.

Hope this helps!!

yes it is unlocked.

but is that doon kernel not the one that causes the phone not to go into deep sleep and has serious battery drain issues?

i think u should go back to the stock kernel or just use the Doom stock kernel. that one has just xrecovery put into it, and nothing else, meaning its practically the same as stock kernel.

shame that the bootloader unlock is coming at a time when all the Devs are moving on/have moved on to other phones. a week now and nothing new to report about for X10.

I want to wire up a 6V 4A cell to my x10.

So i need to drop the voltage to 3.7 volts using a resistance.

Other than getting the right voltage what would be a good way to connect the device to such a battery.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkkeks:
Uhhhh... Do you understand anything from electronic? My first guess is "Let it be!!!"

I could expand this but you should not turn your phone into flames with that. Do me that favour. Please
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreatBigDog:
You can't go directly through a resistor because the voltage that you would be getting would be variable depending on the amount of current your drawing. You'll need to use a couple to create a voltage dividing network. The problem with this approach though is that as soon as the cells voltage starts to drop so will the output voltage from the network.

Best thing to do would be to pick up a 3.7volt regulator. With this, as long as your cells voltage remains above about 3.8volts you'll have steady regulated power.

I've never tried it but I'd bet that a car charger would work off of 6volts as well. All you would need to do us pick up an automotive style auxiliary socket from your local electronics store or junk yard and attach it to the cell.

Anyway, good luck with your project :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punkkeks:
And always remember, your warrenty will get lost after this.

And as said. It isnt a good idea.

Voltage is U=R*I that means you dont have a continues current from your battery -> voltage change. Also the resistence of your device changes while using it -> voltage change.

The easiest way to do it is with a (sorry could be a german expression) linear voltage regulator with one resistor.and a trimmer. The other way would be using an advanced voltage regulator with a coil, an cap and an transistor. More efficient but not that cheap.

Again. It's highly risky and your phone could blow up. Dont try anything funny with your phone battery as well because they are really care sensitive!

Best way. Dont do it.

Btw: why do want to build it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmegaRED^:
Thanx.. picked up a regulator and added a heatsink.

I took apart a old battery and removed the controller on it.

So far in testing i get 3.7 even with 1.2A drain.

I'm using crowbar latch protection if anything goes wrong the fuse on the battery side should blow first.

It's for a rather large robotics project.

Did you ever think about how powerful android phones actually are?

Consider that phones can perform facial recognition of several targets, has GPS, and all the motion input technologies it may need.

Now what if i put lets say a nice 1ghz phone in a smart missile?

Same goes for other technologies.

Consider that soon quad core phones will be around.

Now install that phone inside a small buggy and outfit it with a weapon "i used a paint ball gun"

Put up targets "in this case i used a triangle 'friendly" and a square "target" '

And used facial recognition to pick out targets using a high tolerance 90% setting for a target matching.

I used built in images for comparison.

I am working on seek and destroy code and i am working on building a second bot.

To work on team Coordination and Tactical team work via wifi communication.

Eventually: mapping, information collection, planning, execution.

So i needed to get a much longer life battery for the phone.

And i didn't want to tap from the 12v cell for the motors since there's a lot of voltage dips and noise from the motors and the servo driver already.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AyDee:
Whoa, Red I want videos once you get it running!:eek:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
Tapping into the 12v line for the motors should be fine. as long as you have a decent dc-dc power suply. alot of the gear i work on (sub sea electrical) has 1 power line for everything. and then little dc-dc supplies to filter out the noise. i mean i'd almost garentee the 12v line isn't gonna go bellow the cutoff for your 3.7v Out dc-dc sup unless you short circut the suply.

BUT!

you could jsut have a simple 12v to 5v suply and put usb plug on the end. power it that way :P would be safer and easier than tapping the battery. if the power does drop out then it will drop to battery and keep going. and when it comes back it will start charging again.

thats how i would do it! love to see some of your projects!

Initially it was great but lately it has become very slow- I got another phone and called mine and it was ringing for nearly 10 seconds before my phone started to ring.

[HTC EVO 3D] xieg2xi:
Hi 3D user.

So basically, My phone will start overheating while i talk for 5minute or more.

I'm just wondering if anyone has this problem or maybe can get this fix? It

get so hot at a point that i can't put my face on my phone. So i have to keep a

inch gap between my phone and ear.

Swapping the ROM doesnt fix the issue. I'll used 3 different types of rom and

still have the same problem.

As in right now, my Evo 3D is running on 2.3.4 SynergyComb. S-off. Using clockwork recovery to flash. I never updated to latest htc software.

also like to add. I'm running on two bar at my house. maybe it trying to find signal???? if it was. they needd to fix this ****!!! how i can enjoy this phone if its overheating and killing my battery life. :mad: yes!! my battery used up a quarter life for talking for half an hour.
[HTC EVO 3D] 2k4mach:
no problems here, it will get warm but no warmer than any other phone ive ever had.

i talked on it for 3 hours straight last night with no problems. only thing i can think of was your phone is jumping from tower to tower trying to get the best signal. i have that problem at work and the phone will get a bit warmer than normal when using it but never so hot that i cant rest it against my face.
[General Questions and Answers] shreymehta:
what is the difference between factory reset and hard reset??

will my phone lag go away if i do a factory reset?

what all will remain in the phone, like which apps(pre installed or all?)

i'm using a motorola defy (running 2.2)
[General Questions and Answers] T-Macgnolia:
A factory reset makes your device just like it was when you first took it out of the box brand new. It is done from with in the Android OS it self via Settings/SD & phone storage/Factory data reset. Any apps you have installed, your contacts, bookmarks, any personal settings you have will be removed. If you go into Settings/Privacy and check backup settings your settings will be backed up to google. It is also a has a Automatic restore option there that will automatically restore your settings for you if you have backup settings checked.

A hard reset does the same thing a factory data reset does, but you have to use the external buttons to do it. Each device has it's on combination of buttons to preform a hard reset. Some devices have it as a option in the Hboot/Recovery screen. Some say a hard reset does a little bit more thorough or deeper cleaning, but I have found no one that can answer this for 100% positive.

you can also preform a factory reset using Clockwork Mod Recovery by choosing the factory data reset option in the main menu of Clockwork Mod Recovery.

As for it solving your issue with lagging. I can not say proof positive it will as I do not have a device like yours and do not exactly what is causing the device to lag. But a factory reset has been know to help solve a lot of issues, one is laggyness. I suggest you do it as it is no risk involved in doing it. Plus with Android it is easy to restore your device to the way you had it. The market keeps track of the apps you had and you just open the market, press yhe menu button and then my apps. this will let you get your apps back.

If it's trying to replace your current launcher, then I'm assuming that it's currently incompatible with x10. Guess it's not supported and installs Active Launcher as Arc Launcher for backup.

So over the past few days I've flashed a new rom. After doing so my connectivity hasn't been so good. This also included running a nandroid restore at one point.

So to try and fix my connectivity issues I wanted to run a PRL update. I'm using decked mod, so when I went to the settings menu there was no option to update the phone software.

After some poking I found a few threads that suggest making a nandroid backup, flashing a sense rom, updating PRL and radio there. Then restore from the nandroid backup.
