[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaoJie:
Hey guys, recently I have been trying a custom ROM called Doctorz Rom v2.0 based on JVS 2.3.5, it was pretty good, stable but had to fix some glitches myself.

To my dismay, I switched on the Mobile AP, some call it wireless tethering or just wifi hotspot, and there was an error. I could still connect other device like my mother's LG Optimus 7 to my phone but it couldn't connect to the internet.

I did a search on google and there seem to some issues with the wifi hotspot with custom ROM, well there are a handful who are on the stock JVS rom and it worked out well. I have used this mobile AP in 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1 and 2.3.3 and it all works fine except on this Doctorz ROM based on 2.3.5.

Just a check if anyone who is on custom JVS 2.3.5 ROM, ODEX or DE-ODEX, is also having an error with the mobile AP or anyone who is on stock 2.3.5 JVS ROM with fully functioning mobile AP.

Thanks in advance :cool:

Ever since i started using wp7 i noticed that i have been getting a lot of scamming calls, and these people know my name, an idea of which borough i live 'my location' and they check ur FB using ur name and guess ur age group and direct a call to you accordingly.

US residents, NY residents, be careful. I just searched my number on this WP7 app called 'number guru' and damn, my full first and last name showed up.. for my blackberry friends, nothing.. total privacy... no names.. just a 'wireless user'..

i think the damage has already been done.. my name and number is out their for all these scammers to lynch on.. i just have to be careful now about the calls i recieve.. last week i recieved a call from someone pretending to bank of america and they started with 'Hi am i speaking to 'MY FULL NAME'" and i was like this must be legit... than i got call from someone pretending to be a university.. one more stating i signed up for working from home and start a business .. atleast now i know that my number, my name and my location is out there and anyone can buy it..

i have been using same number for last three years and never got such calls before.. but in last two months i get one such call every 2nd week..

Edit: BTW i am dead sure its from WP7 because once i confronted the lady pretending to be a university offering me admission if i answered some of her 'personal questions' first.. i asked her is she really know me or is just calling a random number..? and she said : 'oh i know you, your name is this, you live here, and your email is 'MYLIVEID@live.com' ... which i never use for anything else other than my wp.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Maybe its the first windows phone virus, that would be cool.

I remember when people said Linux and apple is weren't more secure, they just weren't targeted by virus writers because there was no value in hacking such a small number of computers using it....but now with ISO and android, I don't hear that anymore...hmmm

Anyway, have you nailed down the application that is leaking information yet?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Its not any virus or any malicious program.. its people.. i have downloaded 100 apps and games.. and everyone asks for owner's identity, location.. they just save it in their database, pile it up and sell it to marketeers...

these guys calling me all know just three things about me: my name, my neighborhood and my live id.. they dont know my card details which i use to pay for apps.. neither my exact address (like zip code, or street name) ..

i ran a few iphone numbers of friends i know who use it.. and all their names show up in 'number guru' app.. i dont know anyone with android.. but none of the blackberries numbers have their names flashed for world to see like this.. i thought one's cell number is one of most private thing to have.. next to full residential address.. how can they publish it with my name like that.. its not fair.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
You do know that cell phone numbers were all public until a couple of years ago, and you had to opt for them to be private. Many people still have theirs listed as public and don't even know it. It may just be a coincidence... I looked up my number, still private... And I install every single app just to check them out, especially ones spoken about here
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
Sorry, but there is no systemic "WP7 privacy violation" going on. I have installed many apps that use location and even owner identity (probably more than most people in this forum), but Number Guru has me listed as an anonymous user. My wife, who uses a Blackberry, and has essentially no 3rd party apps installed (other than official ones, like Facebook), shows up in Number Guru by name.

Oh, and I still get lots of spam calls. Most of them are coming from criminals who have gotten copies of the US Do Not Call list, and are using it to spam people. There are forums popping up all over the net to talk about this problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Than how come they have my Live ID listed as my email id? That email i just created only for phone and have not used even once anywhere.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I don't know. But you missed my point. Sure, there may be an unscrupulous app developer out there who is harvesting personal information and selling it, but that is no different from any other possible environment where you might either intentionally or accidentally provide personal information.

My point is that there is nothing specific to WP7 that makes this any worse than anywhere else in our lives. My ID is still private on Number Guru, despite the fact that I have installed well over 500 apps over the 10 months that I've owned my phone (most have obviously been uninstalled later), many of which asked for owner identity permission. By contrast, my wife, who has never owned a WP7 device, is not private.

Vote for suggestion that, call and SMS filtering should be provided inbuilt in Windows Phone 7 as it is necessary feature.

Kindly vote here.

[Windows Phone 7 General] slimshady322:
Have you maybe signed up to any website using this email?

As far as I know apps can't even see your Windows Live ID.

The only thing I could imagine is that an app promted you to send an email and you sent this email using the Windows Live ID you created.
[Windows Phone 7 General] elcapo24682:
I don't really get any calls of this sort that often. so fail on blaming wp7 as the cause.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
I have never sent any email using my live.com email to anyone.. my sent folder is empty.. I only created and used it to sign into my brand new wp7... thats it..

i also get a lot of nigeria type scam emails on this mail account, even though i absolutely never used it anywhere to register or to send any feedback .. nothing.. but thats not important for me.. i just dont like the phone calls which come with a good degree of accurate info about me ever since i started using wp7.. i have been using this phone number for last 3 yrs.. but these calls started coming after two-three months of wp7.

here are some numbers i get call from:

866-901-9856

213-725-5387

602-602-6000

877-759-4409

Several other 800 numbers..

I just want to warn everyone.. thats it.. wp7 has started these calls, i know it for fact.. many iphone users have complained about the same on number guru..

Edit: i think developers can see your live id once you review their application.. i am not sure about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
I am pretty sure that you have a spy app install (or had one at some point) that sent your email, phone number, location, etc. back to the app's author who then resell this info to other people.

This type of apps are a huge problem on Android and to some degree on iOS.

So my suggestion is that when you install apps and you get a prompt that the app is accessing your location, phone number, etc., don't just click "allow" "allow" "allow".

Also, make sure to reset your password just in case your Windows Live got hacked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Snake.:
No they cant
[Windows Phone 7 General] zaki aziz:
hi guy's..

just wondering. it's happen to friens of mine. He receive call from his own number. But then end of phone number with additional "0000".

It was malaysian phone number. exp: +6019 xxxx xxx 0000.. anyone knows about this?

Thank anyway..

Samsung Galaxy S2

When I look under "Settings" - "Accounts and sync" I have an account called "Samsung-account". It is not an account I have created and are therefore incomprehensible how it got there and what purpose it has - someone who can help?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjoma:
Maybe you need it to log in when you use Kies air or if you want to use the Samsung tool to find the phone when it's lost or stolen.

I don't think it does anything important (strange that it's there although you didn't do anything, can you delete it or does it just want you to set up the Samsung account?
[LG Optimus Black] FatherD:
Noticed since updating to v10d that my call log shows numbers, not the matching contact name, any one else seeing this?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SparkyRih:
So yesterday I installed the latest asus update, everything went fine...

So I took the awesome device with me yesterday, and tried to read an SD card from a camera, but it didn't recorgnize the card... After rebooting the tf, it recorgnized the card again...

Today I tried to use a USB stick, it didn't recorgnize (and power) the usb stick, I tried a micro sd (with adapter) in the dock: nothing... but when I tried the micro in the tab itself, it did work....

But again, after I rebooted the tf, both the usb and micro-sd are recorgnized in the dock...

I don't know if this is a known bug, but it is pretty annoying :S
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ghott:
Hi guys my problem is I can not open the clockwork when I press the buttons Vol up and power together. when i try to open phone like that, when i try to reach recovery it stucks at the IDEOS screen and nothing more coming up. I tried 4.0.0.5 and 4.0.1.5 versions of clockwork. But same result. Can anyone has an idea about this ?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
I have an idea. Your phone might be u8800pro, not u8800. There is no CWM for the pro version yet
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ghott:
How can i understand this is pro version or normal? I don't think i've got a pro version of this phone. I read somewhere in this forum pro versions have got 4gb memory but I've got 2 gb. Anyway that i can see if it is pro or not?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ghott:
I tried the 3.0.2.8 version of the clockworkmod and it worked. But as i said 4.0.0.5 and 4.0.1.5 versions not working on me. is this 3.0.2.8 version will be enough for me? I mean can i load the custom roms from here with this version? Also anyone who knows tell me how can i use newer versions or versions that i tried is not working.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] NForce25:
If 3.0.2.8 worked then it's ain't pro version. You can use it, if it was fully working, it isn't any worse than 4.x.x.x
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Odinforce:
The Pro doesn't have 4GB of internal sd, just 2gb, if you want to know which model you have check if it has built in radio. Pro have it U8800 doesn't.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] voiceofdeath:
internal nand memory capacity is 4gb in total ,but sd partition is 2gb
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ghott:
My phone hasn't got radio that means this is not pro version. But why these versions not working. that's what i am wondering :D
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mkr17:
i too had problem with clockmode , after u have installed does holding a vol up or down continuesly takes u 2 pink screen ?

if not then tell what happens .
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ghott:
if i press vol up + vol down + power pink screen is coming. When i press vol up+power normaly clockwork must appear but it is stucking at the IDEOS screen and nothing happens. But when i just turn on the phone pressing only power button it is opening normally.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mkr17:
alright i had same problem . now here is what u need 2 do -

google clockworkmode on youtube for u8800 n u will find a video with simple steps , ur clockwork will definately work !!!

here is d link 4 u ( actually had bookmarked it )

I know how to install cwm. My problem is different i think you didn't read my messages. I am installing cwm right theese steps. But when i install it's not working. I try 3.0.2.8 version it is running. Then i found 4.0.1.5 on genokolar's site. But normal 4.0.1.5 didn t work. I try another 4.0.1.5 version at the description section "this recovery only used for second system" was written. that work too. but not properly. when i try installing CM7 rom. I am doing the right steps nothing but the right steps. but after selecting the rom's zip then reboot phone restarting itself ıdeos screen is coming but no action then restarts itself again and again i wait lots time for maybe something happens but noting show up. Then i try miui rom. i did the exact right steps. when steps over and restarting the phone it worked. I can not understand what's happening and hoping someone helps me with this. I tried all of em with 3.0.2.8 and 4.0.1.5 that i found.

And for the records when I try to backup with cwm. When i hit the backup cwm says "Can't mount /system" so i can not backing up my system too.

http://code.google.com/p/u8800-cm7/downloads/detail?name=recovery_4.0.1.5_en_sys2.img&can=2&q= that's the link that i installed, the others not working on my phone i mean the cwm screen is not coming up with others only with this and 3.0.2.8 version that i can see the cwm screen.
[LG Optimus 2x] bobanm:
Hello guys,

sorry for my English

Is there a program that allows to swapp memory on lg optimus 2x?

I tried the swapper 2 but not working. Any idea please?
[LG Optimus 2x] juanicoenfer:
It's not only the program. You need a kernel that support it, and lg optimus 2x no need swapp memory in a swap partition.
[LG Optimus 2x] spica1234:
Swap is not neccessory at all. Evenif you want then if you're using cyanogenmod then it has compcache which is superior then swap:)
[LG Optimus 2x] bobanm:
In any case I think it's necessary. When I open multiple applications (opera,

gallery, androzip-unpacking files), phone always kill an application, usually

OPERA.

In that case ram memory fall out below 30-40 mb.

How to stop OS force kill app? I think only way is memory swapper.

This is my first android phone, maybe I miss something?

thanks for reply :)
[LG Optimus 2x] fajarep:
swiftextreme rom that i made include swap using zram, it helps when you're doing multitask switching a lot..
[LG Optimus 2x] bobanm:
Thanks man. I will try.
[LG Optimus 2x] bobanm:
OK, I flash the kernel. Everything is o.k. Swapped memory appeared, but phone is not use it. SWmemory is always completely free, and app force kill is still present.
[LG Optimus 2x] fajarep:
i don't know what you flash.., but swap is fine here...

Dell Streak 5 16GB Latest Android 2.3.5 OS Gingerstreak

really surprising but then donno how true it is, it claims that he had a perfect 2.3.5 running on his streak.....
[Streak 5 General] (InsertNameHere):
Its possible, but i suspect its a typo and its 2.3.3
[Streak 5 General] kiwimalayalee:
that's what, one of the images show android version 2.3.3

just making sure y i didnt see a 2.3.5 elsewhere.... ;)
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
without hard proof that it actually is 2.3.5, keep in mind that changing what version is displayed in build.prop is extremely easy. as 2.3.3 -> 2.3.5 didnt add much it would be pretty difficult to spot the differences
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicaricacy:
since upgrading superuser to 3.0, I can no longer access Titanium Pro

It says it has root permissions in superuser, but Titanium Backup says it cannot acquire root priveleges.

I ununstalled and reinstalled both programs, then TB would hang at the asking for root permissions screen first time. Next time I go in, it gives me the error about no priveleges. If I click switch Profile, I get asked to give it su permissions, which I click allow and tell it to remember, but it still gives me the same error. After a phone reboot, it goes back to sticking on the 'asking for root access' screen.

I used Rootchecker to check my access, it tells me Busybox is installed correctly and that I have root access. Juice Defender continues to work fine as well in the areas requiring root access, as do the adblock programs

I have no idea at all what to do! Please help…

Keiron
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bgs_piece:
Try this...

I just checked mine and everything works fine. I would try deleting Titanium and then re-install it and see if that helps, or try going into SU and erase Titanium's permissions and then try to run it again so it has to ask for superuser access again.

Hope that helps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicaricacy:
Solved

just sorted it... Seems it was an app called application protect, didn't like the update. Disabled it and all good now. I had it set to ask for pattern logo password on su access... Worked before, not after...

Hi guys,

I'm from NZ and I just read unlocked version GT-i9100 has got 2.3.5 update today on pocketnow.com

My one is GT-i9100 and it's from Singapore as far as I know but I haven't received any update through kies software.

Please let me know how many users here have got it:)

Oh, I'm still stuck with 2.3.3...t.t
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lummujaj:
you can get it via downloaded package and import that with odin ! i got 2.3.5 on my sgs2 but it seems im having problems with usb connection !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Hm I have already updated by odin but it seems slower and more buggy(oh screen scrolling only) than 2.3.3 so I returned to KI2.

Actually I preferred none overflow scrolling so I want to update to 2.3.5 but I don't like laggy when scrolling the homescreen so I came back.

Anyone have same problem as me after updating to 2.3.5?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruflot:
Remove the Running Applications widget.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jorkobe23:
Nah.

It's just laggy regardless of widgets.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmcsilva:
Hi! I have used the Revolutionary: S-OFF & Recovery Tool and got my phone S-off, rooted and with a custom recovery (ClockworkMod). Now I want to install an app that alows to transfer apps to SD without all the limitation of the native Android 2.3 app. I would prefer to keep my stock HTC rom and not having to instal a new rom. Which app do you think is the best for this?

I have searched a lot, and Link2SD https://market.android.com/details?id=com.buak.Link2SD&feature=search_result seem to be the best. Can anyone confirm or suggest better apps? What are their addvantages/disadvanages comparing to Link2SD?

Thank you a lot!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
Yea that app is quite ok for beginners, but the best solution would be a init.d script that symlinks like on any custom rom.

However the init.d folder is not initialized by the stock kernel on boot, so if you are not up to tinkering too much the above solution should be ok :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decmk:
Disadvanages are there's no linking of data to sd and libs need to relink on boot.

Data of every app remain on data (user) partition and soon or later you will get warning low space.

I currently have installed 135 apps, 128 linked to sd and 7 on sd, and have free 52mb.

There's no better app.

Better is rom with data2sd

Gingerbread 2.3.3 RUU Rooted S-Off with Link2SD partition 512MB
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Borat38:
There are rooted Stock HTC roms pinned in the Everything Desire Section where you could just pick a ROM that supports Data2SD (like SuperNova or LeeDroid or Oxygen). I'm not sure if Data2SD works on CWM, but it won't hurt to try flashing the Data2SD script on top of the ROM itself.

If you use an app to "transfer to SD", you will still run into "memory space low" problems soon. I have 180 apps on my phone, and still have 1.3 Gb of free space because my Data2SD partition is 2Gb. Never encountered lags or bootloops (I'm using Oxygen, as my sig shows)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmcsilva:
Any more experiences with Link2SD? Thank you!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnamak:
I tried this app, it is performing not bad so far, this is good choice if you want to have stock ROM and more internal space :) Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmcsilva:
I´m quite happy with it too. Working 100%. Highly recommended!
[HD7 General] aramadsanar:
Hi Everyone.

here i come again with a "new" (maybe not) trick......

this trick is to pass the chevron unlock to Mango official....

First, you need to put CustClear.provxml (exactly)

then, download the BGMagic.cab on my another thread (my way to force mango aka 7403 way)

and, download those files (for english)

MainPackage

English MUI Package

DPI262

and, apply it, i assume everybody knows how to apply update to your device ;)

if it's finished, restart it

then, run connection setup, and, voila, you got it....

NOTE: Maybe you'll say that this is a usual update steps, but, wait, this is not the usual way of updating, because you didn't install the hTC update, it keeps your SPL and radio, and it also removes the "67mb" limit of XAP Deploying........
[HD7 General] sunnyo_ola:
thank you but connection setup has been removed from htc apps marketplace, any alternative to run the setup
[HD7 General] aramadsanar:
yes, it's removed from marketplace, you need to reflash ur phone then :rolleyes:
[HD7 General] sunnyo_ola:
yes i reflahed it but htc connection setup is still not in market place
[HD7 General] laigdotcom:
very useful instruction
[HD7 General] Ttblondey:
is this will unlock with official mango and can we do any sideload?
[HD7 General] aramadsanar:
exactly, this is what chevron made for :P
[HD7 General] maclean_cherry:
Or just follow these instructions... Worked perfectly for me...

http://www.winrumors.com/how-to-force-official-windows-phone-7-5-mango-update-onto-your-device/

Funny that simply disconnecting your Internet whilst it checks update validity tricks the update system...
