Ive got it working in the UK. I flashed the app from here and factory reset, then opened Google wallet with a non-Apps Google account, added a new prepaid card and its all working, paid for a coffee at starbucks this morning in London. Only problem I have now is how to top up my prepaid card. Only US cards are supported.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juniorbattle:
My dream is to use it as my Oyster card here in London. Do you think it's gonna happen anytime soon?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
That would be ballistic, bumbastic, amazing :cool: :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
I doubt it, because

The simplest way would be to super-glue your Oyster card to the back of the phone. But that would impair other NFC uses.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
I paid with my Visa PayWave card today at Greggs.....the lady there had absolutely no clue what just happened, she kept telling me to insert my card even though I told her that I've got a contactless card and the payment has already been authorized(according to what was displayed on the terminal). She had no idea if that's normal/allowed so she had to ask the store manager. What an embarrassment. I can only imagine what would have happened if I tried to pay with my phone - panic in the shop? It would take me 5 minutes to explain what I did. It's nice to see contactless payments being accepted in more and more places, but in most cases the staff has no idea what is going on. I even had it in McDonald's once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Maybe I'm strange but I'm quite looking forward to that :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
They would probably think you hacked the payment system or something if you used your phone. :P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sinbad_NI:
Anyone link it with their Barclay card, or is that even possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
I've been trying.

The registration page in My Barclaycard asks for phone number and SIM serial number. It expects a SIM serial number that is 19 digits. The number written on my T-Mobile SIM is 12 digits. I contacted T-Mobile and they gave me my full serial number - 20 digits. So now it is too long. The best they could suggest was dropping the last zero. It didn't work. So I still can't link my Barclaycard to a contactless account.

Even if I managed to do any of this, I still wouldn't have the necessary app that comes pre-installed on the Samsung Tocco Quick Tap from Orange. So I wouldn't be able to do anything with the account. Maybe it is possible to port the app from that phone onto the Nexus.

Are all Orange SIM numbers 19 digits? I guess the Barclaycard/Orange Quick Tap thing really does only work with Orange.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappslock:
This is probably a stupid question but i'm running a 2.3 rom (serendipity 7) so do i have a gb bootloader?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
yes 10char
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
If i remember correctly, I think they are i9000 bootloaders though, for what it's worth. If it says i9000 on the very first boot screen, they are i9000. If it says AT&T, they are i897.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
+1 Its usually a good idea to have i9000 BL for I9000 roms and same goes for I897. But it isn't a must.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappslock:
yeah its says i9000 on the boot screen but does that also mean its gingerbread bootloaders
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
If you don't see a weird screen after the I9000 one that looks like white noise. Or if you can get into recovery AT ALL without JUST that white noise then yes.

Also the I9000 boots never made an appearance on the captivate until gingerbread so if you see I9000 at all then they are gingerbread...:rolleyes:

thank you

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BJT:
I have been making a few bucks doing small time repairs, mods, etc...I bought this particular Vibrant ( standard 50-80$ craigslist cracked screen/LCD broken) knowing I had two good Digitizer/Screen replacements. After replacing everything works but the screen. The phone boots, audios good, lights and buttons/touchscreen work fine just with a blank screen. I have tried everything I can think of...I don't know what could be causing this on the motherboard? There are no visible problems or missing/discolored resistors etc on the main board, the USB mounts and charges well, I know the digitizers are good so I'm stumped? I've done this replacement many times and have never seen or can find any instance of this online.

[Kindle Fire General] kvizz:
Is this possible? I don't feel like ordering a micro usb cable if I don't have to.

I have an iPhone and am able to SSH into it and access documents and etc...

Is it possible with the Kindle Fire? All I would do is just add books/comics. Right now I'm using dropbox, but it is slow at syncing. :(

Thanks guys!
[Kindle Fire General] gloos:
I'm not sure if its possible with one of the market applications available after root right now, but you can also email yourself documents using your kindle email address (go to Manage my device in the Kindle section of Amazon). You get 5GB storage for free.

Not sure if the cost of the usb cable is stopping you but you can probably get one on eBay for 3$, shipping cost included.
[Kindle Fire General] thangskyline:
you can use WebSharing app on the Market to share everything between your Android devices and PCs.
[Kindle Fire General] Carld256:
I use Wifi File Explorer. Run it, and enter the IP address it gives you into your web browser and you can exchange files between your PC and Fire with no problem. It works great, much more convenient than dragging out the USB cable.

The paid version is $.99.
[Kindle Fire General] kvizz:
Thanks guys!

Will try WiFi File Explorer. and I'll just go ahead and order a cable off amazon, they are cheap anyways and I got prime :D
[Kindle Fire General] devilot:
This is definitely possible using File Expert from the Market or Appstore via Samba connection. You just attach via WiFi like any other device on your network. I have never used a cable to transfer anything between my Kindle and my machines at home because it works perfectly for me. =)
[Kindle Fire General] spunker88:
I like File Expert, it does a lot and its free. The latest version has tabs so you can have the network share open in one tab and a local directory in another. Makes copying files really easy.
[Kindle Fire General] pendave:
There's no developer published wpa_supplicant replacement for Kindle Fire's system/bin/wpa_supplicant till now.

So I find ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher.apk is so well to switch Kindle Fire to support Ad-hoc WiFi.

download link:

ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher.apk(174.35K)

http://dl.dbank.com/c0qlpiozc1

A lot of ways to setuo WiFi hotspot with laptop, but Bzeek is the most useful one and it supports both Win XP and Vista.

Bzeek(supports XP & Win7)

http://www.bzeek.com/static/index.html

download:

http://www.bzeek.com/static/bzeekPlugin/bzeekPlugin-setup.exe

I met a problem with Bzeek as well as lots of guys met that after restart the Windows, Bzeek is alway Off instead of On, even you can't turn it On.

So I check google and found that

Admin reply:

It's a BUG for Bzeek due to their lack of maintance?

So manually if you like, you should go to

Start > Run > services.msc

Open Windows System Services

Get Bzeek Service and make it START

For easy use I build .bat file to TURN ON or TURN OFF Bzeek Free WiFi service effeciently. You can download them here

BzeekTurnOn.bat(18B)

http://dl.dbank.com/c04pwaal9s

BzeekTurnOff.bat(18B)

http://dl.dbank.com/c04pwaal9s

included scripts are simple so you can build your own:

for START

for STOP

Install ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher.apk

Before running it you'd better ROOT your Kindle Fire for higher user ability.

Run ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher

You should see Switch to Infrastructure mode / Switch to Ad-hoc mode button.

Click Switch to Infrastructure mode and it turns to Switch to Ad-hoc mode then you can click Settings button to set SSID and WEP password if possible.

I put into Bzeek Free WiFi as SSID as I'm using Bzeek and WEP is not selected for Bzeek. If you use other name and with WEP, just do your way.

Now the button display Switch to Ad-hoc mode, just click it and turn it to

Ad-hoc Mode, click Enable WiFi button and it will connect to Bzeek Free WiFi rapidly :)

Then it will ask you put in your Bzeek username and password, finally you can share the internet with WiFi Ad-Hoc from your laptop happily!:)

I post this method to a Chinese forum and you can check screenshot images and download links there better.

http://bbs.mydoo.cn/thread-54577-1-1.html
[Kindle Fire General] pendave:
I post another tutorial for Laptop/PC + Kindle Fire WiFi connection to abandon USB line in a Chinese forum, which will be more convenient and less damage to the USB port :)

http://bbs.mydoo.cn/thread-54740-1-1.html

You can check images there.

Build up your laptop a WiFi AP is not difficult, you can check so many tutorials.

The key for Kindle Fire is ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher.apk which makes Kindle Fire switch to Ad-Hoc Mode to access to your laptop :rolleyes:

While you can install some virtual connection app for Kindle Fire, let it be an FTP server in your small LAN (local area network), and then you can visit the SDCard of your Kindle Fire with ftp clients such as Explorer/flashFXP/filezilla etc.

Also you can use HFS to build an http:// way as a site for your Kindle Fire to visit, download ...

Hello , I have a samsung captivate with rogers and am having an issue with the phone calls. When I aswer the phone I can hear the person on the other sode but they can not hear me, when they redial the same story over again. I have to call them back so they hear me. Sometimes it catches the phone call right away. I haven't noticed any pattern of when or which calls has ot been doing it to. My roommate has the same phone i896 and his phone sgarted doing it a week later after It happened to mine. As I flashed cmd7 woth the hope that itl change I was dissapointed as it kept on doing it. He was with the android 2.1 software untill two months ago then he installed 2.2 and now 2.3 it just keeps on happening. Called rogers, they told me to call samsung and from samsung I was told ots a rogers issue so they have to deal with it. Has this been happening to anyone else and if so how did u solve it? Any odeas as I'm clueless from now on.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anachronizer:
What I mean is, on the stock Motorola rom when the phone is unlocked there are two buttons 'Accept' and 'Decline' for incoming calls which changes back to sliders when the phone is locked. I was wondering if there was any way on a rooted phone this could be changed so shows those buttons always instead of the 'slide to answer' even when the phone is locked?

Right now I'm using the app Advanced Telephone. It pretty much does the job but gets a bit buggy sometimes. Thanks in advance.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] itrustno1:
My Zio has a mind of its own! Force closes! Goes back! Google search! Menu options! And all while it lays flat on my desk, or my nightstand, countertop, anywhere. But only between 55%-85% battery. PLEASE HELP!

Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] itrustno1:
Now it just boots up, shuts off, boots up, shuts off. Its basically a landline smartphone cause I can only use it if the charger is plugged in, like right now. All the pages and pages on rooting but very few out there to fix lil problems while rooted. Feel like rolling my window down on the freeway and toss this zio out, THEN ILL HAVE TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE! That'll sure fix the problems above. Unless anybody's got a lil advice that would help me out?

Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] 3ncrypt3d_Droid:
Have you dropped the phone? The reason I asked is that my buddy brought over a HTC Droid incredible and it has similar problems after it was dropped...I rooted it and flashed a few different roms and some of the problems diminished but didn't go away...what rom are you using?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] itrustno1:
Dropped, yes, 2hrs after I first bought it over a year ago. But this has recently started happening, like yesterday and today. I am rooted but not rom-ed (hu, I said rom-ed). I'm too scared to change rom's cause I'm still researching how to do it.

Now I'm so broke i can't even pay attention!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] 3ncrypt3d_Droid:
Hmm.. well I would try flashing the open zip rom and see what that does for ya...its not hard to do that, maybe that will help. Other than that i dunno. I've done some tweeking on the open zip rom for my girlfriend and daughter, haven't done any theming for it besides some uot kitchen work, but have been able to apply alot of various build. prop tweeks and some other tweeks that seemed to help with battery life.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Mattix724:
Not to take this thread off topic but do you mind sharing your tweaks?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] 3ncrypt3d_Droid:
There mostly from developer KNZO, he's got a list of build.prop and init.d tweaks.. he's done alot of developing for the optimus p500, I think he's developing for the optimus black now...anyways, most of his tweaks are now standard for custom roms for the p500&p509.. so i tryed to incorporate them into the Sanyo zio.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkativity:
Hi, sometimes while I am using my phone, the screen turns off on its own, but the touchscreen still works and (obviously) pressing the power button doesn't do anything. I have let it sit this way overnight to see if the problem goes away and it doesn't. I have to remove the battery to make it go back to normal. This problem started about 3 days ago and has gone from happening once a day to about 10 times a day, which is getting me worried. I was running cyanogenmod 7 when the problem started, but I switched to liquid gingersense to see if the problem would still occur and it does. I apologize if this has been discussed already, I did a couple of searches and couldn't find anything that seemed to be my exact problem though.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratplayer:
Have a Galaxy S2 that I broke the screen on moving heavy equipemnt at the weekend. It is insured, but I want to try and get my data off before replacing it.

The phone appears to work, but obviously there is nothing on the screen. When I connect it to the PC it keeps asking me to enter the password on the phone. I had a numerical password setup (not the slider).

How can I get around this in Kies? Anyone got any ideas? The phone wasnt rooted.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobellza:
i reckon you could try my way :

2) go into CWM > mouths and storage > mouth usb storage

3) copy whatever files you want to PC

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uraj:
Can you access your phone via adb? If yes, you can install a VNC server in the phone and then you can have a remote screen on your computer, which allow you enter the password by computer keyboard.

I haven't ever installed a VNC server, so I don't know whether your phone needs to be rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorjess:
Problem is that his screen cant display anything so how could he navigate on cwm? Let alone booting into recovery..

I might had a solution, I once messed up with chainfire's night mode and it makes my screen go blank *duh* so i use android commander to copy my precious data before restoring the fw.. its a decent app and it could access your phone without having to mount it to usb storage.. (i think root is required) give it a shot!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
1.You can blind boot into CWM, and connect the mobile to PC, then you can use the adb commands to copy your data.

2.Specify the kernel you are using, so that others having the same kernel can tell you the number of blind press needed and the direction to mount it in your pc.

I dropped my phone and the screen is toast. With the latest version of Kies(2.0.3) there is an option to "View in Explorer". Both internal and external memory is accessible.

To get there, click on you phone in the left pane and you will see basic information about your phone with the "View in Explorer" buttons next to the bars showing how your internal and external memory is allocated.

Thx to everybody.
[Acer Iconia A500] bfoster:
I know this has been asked but i am new to Android. This is my first device i am tring to root and cannot root i have tried using Iconia root and Gingerbreak. Both do not work on my device. I don't want to take my device (Acer Iconia A500) to a older android software. and was wondering if somebody can point me in a direction of a valid way to root HC 3.2, i would be in your dept.

Again i am sorry for making this tread i know it has been asked and asked and asked but there is alot of bogus things and/or solutions for older software for my device.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Unfortunately, to root 3.2 due to the new acer bootloader, you first have to rollback to an older version of HC.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276227

Not that it can be a little bit unstable, but most folks were able to work with it, and have success.

After you get your root, you can flash most of the 3.2 roms in the dev forum for the 500.
[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
It seriously is not as bad as it sounds to roll back to the 3.01 software, root, and then install your custom rom. once you get the files downloaded, you'll be good to go in less than 30 minutes (probably less than 15 if everything goes flawlessly).
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
Yea I was surprised at how quick and painless the process was, and some of the custom ROMS are far better than the Acer OTA one. The rollback to 3.01 I believe is the simplest but I think I read before of someone rooting 3.2 without rolling back. It was a very complicated procedure though and I wouldn't recommend it.
[Acer Iconia A500] bfoster:
yea

This is what i feared is i had to go back to a older system, but i understand and i may do it. All i need to know is does going back to the old software delete all my files on here and if so whats the best backup program to use? by files i mean apps, music, and settings.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Anything on the sd card is safe (if you keep your music and fotos there). As for apps, the Market always remembers paid apps, and the newer market usually remembers most of the free apps you downloaded (I believe the apps are synched to google), so when you flash a new rom, it usually (in my experience) starts to download them all once you login to your account on first boot.

Out of luck on settings though. Installing a different rom will wipe away all user data. App settings, etc. You can use a backup app like Titanium backup, and backup like game data and app settings, then restore them after flashing a new rom, but really, I feel it's better to get a fresh start on a new rom :D
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
If you are worried about backing up your apps, there are free apps in the market that will create backup files of your APK's. As for music and files, i find that flashing a new ROM they are still there, but just to be safe you can transfer them to a usb stick or something if you are worried about losing them. As for settings in the apps, you might be out of luck. I don't know a way of keeping them, but at the same time I never really cared to.
