I wasn't really quite sure where to put this thread, but I thought people might use a service like Shipito more often than not when purchasing accessories, so dropped the thread here.

Basically I've written a guide as to how to go about having electronics shipped from the US to any location around the world - it's how I got my 64GB micro SDXC card from the Sandisk US online store for example. I actually had quite a few people asking me how to purchase the SDXC cards, hence the thread.

Anyways, if anybody needs it, the guide is here.

[Thunderbolt General] t_reax:
Is the anyway that someone knows of on how to stop autodating from the market for SU? I had 3.05 installed but uninstalled and installed the SU 3.02.apk and for the moment, no problems... I have removed 3.05 over the week end and went to the market and unticked the "allow automatic updatiny"... double checked twice to make sure it was not checked and somewhere between then and this morning it updated automatically anyway. I keep all of my apps updated, but this is one that I don't want updated until and newer version or the bugs are removed from this one. Question: can anyone tell me how to stop SU 3.05 from updating even though "allow automatic updating" in NOT checked? Thanks!
[Thunderbolt General] Stratejaket:
I had the same thing happen. I am positive I unchecked it, restarted rechecked it, the auto update was still unchecked. Then it decided to do the update anyways.. I found that odd. I just uninstalled the updates again to make sure I don't end up with the Force Close issue again. Auto updates is unchecked again, see what happens...
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
Download an older, working copy to your SD card. Uninstall 'su' from the Market. Now, install the copy from your SD card. There will be no link to the Market this way and therefore no auto-updating.
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
I want to protect myself from this issue. How would I download an older working copy and how do I install it from my sdcard?
[Thunderbolt General] Stratejaket:
The first install of SU on my phone was through a downloaded zip and installed while in recovery, when I did revolution. It automatically linked itself to the market somehow. My auto update is still unchecked so all is good for now. Not sure how it linked itself, and auto updated.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
My copy of "su" was also installed similarly, via recovery (following revolutionary.io's instructions). I see no indication that it is linked to the Market though. When I look at "My Apps" in the Market, it's not listed.

My version is "Superuser v3.0-beta3 (33)".
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
Mine also installed through revo but it is listed under my apps - in fact it is listed as wanting an update.
[Thunderbolt General] nl3142:
If you have Titaniumbackup Pro you could try severing the market link that way.
[Thunderbolt General] recDNA:
How specifically?
[Thunderbolt General] t_reax:
After auto updating last week to SU 3.05 was nothing but a pain with all the fc's... So I followed the suggestions of another member of this forum and uninstalled the update. D/led SU 3.02 and placed it on my SDcard and installed com.noshufou.android.su-3.02.apk on 10/17/11... Worked great for almost 2 completed days. Not 1 FC's... "Allow automatic updating" was NOT checked. Re-booted and checked again, NOT checked... About 30 minutes ago I pulled down the "notification bar" and SU along with 3 other apps had been "Successfully updated"? How in the **** did that happen. This **** is getting old... After uninstalling the auto updated 3.05 and manually installing the 3.02.apk file, and without a doubt in my mind that "allow automatic updating" for SU was NOT checked. What is allowing the SU 3.05 (FC City) to update from the market? I might add that whenever I uninstalled the 3.05 update I was left with SU 2.3.6.3 at that point I used Root Explorer to install the 3.02.apk, ran ROM Manager "fix permissions" and for several days the market didn't auto update and my system ran fine. Unchecked "allow automatic update" for SU it was pushed to my phone and now I'm back to square one. Why the **** is android market ignoring this and pushing the SU update anyway? Is there any way that anyone knows of to stop or prevent SU 3.05 update from being pushed to my phone without my permission? Thanks!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nightbox:
Hello

I'm trying to install Android on one of my friends HTC HD2 on SD Card.

The problem is that the screen is stuck to Jumping to kernel (custom).

I've googled this problem and I've only found things irrelevant such as change Radio, change path.

The phone is Stock.

Thanks.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnerz:
Remove all partitions on the sd card and reformat as fat 32 primary partition,

then hard reboot into win mo and start again

If that fails then also task 29 and reinstall a stock rom

No signup fees, only it wants $8.50 for me to sign up ?

Looking great :-)

Is the charge = $8.50 (fee) + $???? (Shipping costs)?

Couldn't quite work that one out?

Thanks :-) :-D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] comfort69:
NZtechfreak,

You might want to mention you are a shipito affiliate and you are getting $5 of that $8.50 charge. I dont think people here would care that much if you are open about it but I think you should be more transparent on this sortof board. Anybody will pay the same whether they visit from your site or not and you have created a great guide but you are an affiliate...correct ???
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loodachris:
I plan on trading my tablet so I reverted back to stock last night using the info I found on these forums (Thank you). Everything is looking fine except when I try and add my zip code or city state for the weather that's on the main screen it keeps saying can't find. I even erased all the ones already on the list and even those can't be found. I can get on my wireless network no problem and I even downloaded a weather app and even that app can't seem to find where I am. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere? Everything worked fine when it was rooted and using the weather channel app but I would like it stock so the person receiving it can choose what to do with it. Anyone have a clue on what it could be?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loodachris:
Nothing huh. :( phone support sucks and I'm at loss here
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvduchovny:
Do you have the locations setting checked? Since there isn't a GPS in this tablet, it has to rely on location via your wireless to determine where you may be.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loodachris:
Thanks for the response. I am not able to locate that option in the settings. I rooted the tablet again and everything works great but I doubt I could sell it like this.
[Acer Iconia A500] deathofkai:
My friend deleted everything off my Iconia via Clockwork Recovery v5.0.0.0(thor......etc) and now I can't restore (i do have original backups) or install any other custom mods. PLEASE HELP!

(I've searched and there's NOTHING on this, that I can find)

What can I do? I'm in the Recovery (Power+Vol- Mode) now....
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Find a stock 3.1 ROM ( so you can root) here, and flash it using power/volume.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113878

;)
[Acer Iconia A500] deathofkai:
When I say there are no files I literally mean that there in nothing on the internal drive. lol

When I click "install zip from sdcard" it tells me there are no files found. nothing in the "/" (root dir) :'(

I'm assuming there needs to be at least a folder like "/mnt/external_sd" for the Recovery Mod to access the external sd card?!

The above link requires me to access the official acer recov, don't know how to do that seeing as CWM is there.

I don't understand why they would put options in the Clockwork Recovery that could format the internal drive completely...there's no "/mnt" or "/system" or anything...

Kinda sh**ting myself as my tab is now less than a doorstop:(

PS. it also says "can't mount /sdcard"
[Acer Iconia A500] deathofkai:
HAHA.....ok, jokes on me....I just noticed that the reason for the device not picking any files up from the "sdcard" was because the damn thing formatted my EXTERNAL CARD.

So, kids...what have we learned today, beside that I'm (in the great words of Red Foreman) a dumb-ass, it's that CWM read from your EXTERNAL sdcard and NOT, i repeat, NOT your internal.

Sorry, and thanks anyway
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Ummm yeah, I assumed you had no files, even before you apparently knew it. That's why I provided the link for you to d/l the stock ROM of your choice via PC, copy the files to SD card and flash using stock recovery :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
This is pretty common knowledge...
[Acer Iconia A500] deathofkai:

[Acer Iconia A500] KILLER_K:
We all do stuff like that from time to time as we are only human. I seen people not unmount the sd card and it make the card unreadable and you can't get the files off of it then. You have that grayed out sd card, when you try to use it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EggRoll53:
I just got my g2x and installed EagleBlood on it immediately.

But I noticed there wasn't a stock GPS app?

Is it broken?

If not, what GPS app do you use (that uses the GPS signal since I don't have a data plan)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Not quite understanding your question? Did you download Google Maps from the market...?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EggRoll53:
Does it have turn by turn GPS?

Do I need wifi or does it use the GPS signal thingy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dustinscottmiller:
Google Maps has turn by turn navigation, but it uses data to load the maps. You'll have to find an app that downloads the maps entirely to the phone if you want to use navigation without data, and they're most likely expensive. Not to mention it'll take up a LOT of space on your phone's memory.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] matrix0886:
I believe what he's looking for is the navigation app (separate from google maps). I think you may have to install google maps first. Never really looked into this before. Might have to check out google mobile. Gotta eat dinner, then i'll take a look into it if nobody else has by then.

EDIT: Ok, yeah, according to Google, all ya gotta do is download google maps and navigation comes with it. If you don't have a data plan, then yeah, you gotta download maps and get a pricey navigation app (that i'm aware of)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] newtothisthing:
Try CoPilot Live. Turn by turn directions. Loads the maps onto your phone. It can be done state by state or the whole U.S. It does take about a gig to load the U.S. It is the best GPS program I have used. Much better then Google maps does not need a data connection and does not constantly loose the GPS signal like Google Maps/Navigator.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
Navigation by Google works wonders. Needs a data connection at first to cache route but then its good.

It downloads all layers and surrounding areas around your route if you get off track. Also grabs POI info along the way.

I tested it on a recent trip and was impressed. Had Airplane mode on the whole way after it synced up.

I've used iGO in the past. Still got a copy that I've never touched in years since Google maps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dvin211:
I brought my phone to the Sprint repair store to have it looked at. I was having crappy data speeds and poor phone signal.

The tech took it and ran some tests, he said it failed the data speed test.

After 45 min he said he changed and separated the voice and data profiles. I asked if I was to reset the phone would the changes be gone. He said no it's done server side to the account. He said the only thing I might notice is a little lag when I push emails to the phone.

My phone signal does seem a little better and data seems a bit faster. My question is what he said make sense? Or did he just blow smoke up my ass to get me out of the store.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] monadzback:
i would like to know this too...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wase4711:
check your underwear for smoke stains, bro...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Can resetting the data profile and so forth on their end improve/fix some provisioning/data issues?

Yes.

Is it going to fix the current problem with Sprint's data speeds and/or LOS?

Absolutely not.

LOS is a problem with the firmware on your phone.

Data speeds are a result of an aging network that cannot support the amount of data users are using. [Although with Sprint Network Vision that is changing]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dvin211:
I wasn't having LOS, it's was more crappy data speeds and low call signal strength. In my case I came from using the Epic 4g and where I lived I was getting 3-4 bars compared to none to 1 with the ET4G.

With my old phone my upload/download speed was twice of what I'm getting now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
I understand that, I only mentioned it so everyone was clear on that.

It's possible that a re-provisioning could improve your situation but it pretty much just sounds like your reception is just Samsung's crappy radio firmware.

You may want to take the device back to Sprint if the low radio reception continues and maybe they can swap it out.

The data end of it is just what I said above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
I know there are quite a few things that they can do server side (for example, your voicemail can become corrupted on their servers, which only they can reset. Long freaking process.) but this seems to just be a load of smoke.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] poppygt:
Bars don't mean much from phone to phone, I've made calls and sent texts with no bars. I've also seen my phone side by side with other Sprint phones with mine showing 1-2 less bars but having the same dbm. Data speeds HOWEVER have just sucked since day 1, sometimes I'm lucky to be faster than dialup.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Hmm...I've been a sprint tech since June when I got hired, and I haven't heard of something like this yet. AFAIK, voice and data provisioning are already separate, using two independent programming menus. I'll ask my fellow techs tomorrow when I'm in if this is indeed something possible.

Keep in mind though, there are A LOT of internal tools/sites at our disposal, so many that even experienced techs are discovering them for the first time occasionally. They only cover so much in our training. Many are redundant (old tools that instead of being revamped with new features a new tool was released), but a lot of times they have one or two unique pieces of functionality that still make them useful.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wraith04:
I just picked up a lightly used Captivate from a friend that has had the sticker removed from under the battery. The phone isn't stolen, I was there when it was purchased, just a little paranoi involved from PO.

Any reason I need them?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armadadrive:
I'm no expert, but unless that voids the warranty I'm fairly sure that those stickers just contain information like the phone's IMEI number, it's make/model numbers (i.e. SGH-I897, etc) and probably a serial number of some sort. This information can mostly be found in the device itself, SGS Secret Code is a fun download from the market that will provide dialer codes to find out alot of information about your phone.

[Blade General] RyDeRgr:
Hi guys,

My brother will sell his blade (bought from here in Greece with 2.1 onboard) soon so I have to revert it to full stock state, so the next owner has full warranty.

Is there any guide and files around to do this?

Now it's running the latest gsf, modded to be gen2.

Thanks.
[Blade General] wbaw:
You can't get fully back to stock because Greek blades sold with 2.1 are limited to 256mb ram & we don't have a copy of the appsboot.mbn which does that.

A custom rom shouldn't affect the warranty & you should get a better price for a 512mb ram blade with Gingerbread.

Reselling the phone will probably invalidate the warranty, as warranty claims should be handled by the retailer that sold the phone (which would be your brother - but he'll be exempt as a private seller).

Apologies if this is the wrong forum.

My wife has wanted an Inspire for a while and with her Atrix falling foul of a 3 year old and a swimming pool and it was a day or two of her birthday I went and bought her one.

Within 22 hours the same 3 year old had managed to break the screen.

Glad to say it is the screen only so I have ordered a replacement screen and started to research youtube etc but have not really found anything that is that helpful.

Has anybody found a decent walk through of this process ?

probably international tho, as the US variants mostly have capacitative buttons

i think it's fine, but it totally depends what you compared the button in question to.... not too many android device with similar physical home button

[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
When it gets broken then complain. I don't see the point of ranting that it feels flimsy when it's working fine. Besides most likely it would be a cheap part to replace.

[Galaxy S II General] fomofo:
It's definitely a cheap design and that stuck on faceplate doesn't help.
