[Motorola Droid Bionic] oakieville:
im pretty sure it is possible i know a dude that say he does them but wont tell me how he wants 100 dollars yes the sim has the progrmming but if you connect to cdma workshop change from ruim only to nv only

you can program everything and write prl but in nv only the meid wrong this phone has meid pesn and imei in nv only meid shows as wat is really the imei and esn is different in nv only oh and if you take the sim out before you program it has no signal but after you write prl it does get signal i can dial out and all and when i program everything sticks my problems is i dont know how to get it on metropcs network the meid is not really a meid number its 990000832785887
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
I didn't think of changing it to nv, let me look into that meid, I've seen a weird meid on a previous phone I cloned, I wonder if its similar..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
I can't seem to find my bionic box but did you check to see if on the side of the box or bottom where the serial is if it has a meid or esn? Where the barcode is.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oakieville:
box only shows imei that 990000 number but with sim in and in ruim only cdma shows normal meid dont remember the whole number but it starts with 2701 like normal and in nv only i do have an esn is it possible to add esn to metro instead of meid
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
I'll send you a pm how to get the esn on metro, I don't wanna people having a fit over the method lol
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oakieville:
anyone else got any suggestions
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GdsSrv:
It is possible to chang the prl however getting the esn into metropcs system is going to b the real trick how to....

iwas able to to semi flash the bionic but wasn't able to get the esn into metro's system
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oakieville:
prl and programming is no prob i can fully flash it just cant add it to meteopcs
[Motorola Droid Bionic] metriod:
I have no problem doing a full flash on Thunderbolt with 3g and another lte phone.

But I look everywhere and can't find a way to add the Bionic esn to metropcs. I need help on this one too.

if you can't write it here due to some user making a fuss, can you pm me or guilde me to the right place?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
I pmed you and everyone else that pmed me i, apologize for such a late response, haven't logged on in a while
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
No offense but why do people want to take nice phones and gimp them on MetroPCS? The service is garbage. If you want prepaid, then get it flashed to PagePlus if anything (many times you don't even need to flash anything, it will just work after activating and programming OTA). There are a couple decent phones on Metro (LG Connect or LG Esteem, namely), it's easier (and probably cheaper) than getting a Verizon phone finally working on their network properly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
Well from previously working for MetroPCS, i can honesty say there are some area other carriers don't have any service in that metro does because they have their own towers, and if there in MetroPCS 3g coverage then i don't see how they would "gimp" there phone plus if they wanna pay 1/3 of there monthly price on Verizon i don't see why not..

An alternative people could use is unlocking there bionic and use a prepaid gsm carrier like simple mobile.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] brandogg:
Simple Mobile is also pretty terrible (I am a Simple Mobile dealer myself). Does Metro even actually have 3G? I remember when their 4G LTE started (which from my testing is slower than Sprint's 3G coverage), they only had 1x and 4G, but no 3G.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:
Yea they've put 3g up almost everywhere they have coverage. They used to only have 1x which was terrible
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oakieville:
Have u or anyone got anywhere with this bionic issue not sure who u meant u pmed but I'm still stuck on this
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Haze69:

PM me the same if you could... Thanks Haze!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Joocid:
I'm trying to flash a couple of bionics to metro as well. I have looked everywhere on how to get the esn on metro but it seems it's a big secret. Can someone pm me the solution as well please and thanks.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oakieville:
Dont think there is a secret appears it cant be done it used to be possible but metro will no longer accept those esns
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Joocid:
I went into a Metro corporate store and tried to get my MEID added just to see for myself. She said it wasn't normal 'e.g. 990000' but she would try anyways. It didn't work of course and she said I would have to flash it. It seem's she might be trying to jack money from me, but it could be possible? According to her she couldn't manually enter it but their MetroFlash tool would add the ESN. Has anyone tried this for themselves?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oakieville:
Yes I tried it wouldn't take the esn even thru houdini
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Vaughnking:
Droid Bionic on Metro

Do you mind sharing. I am having the same issue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oakieville:
Wat phone u have the problem with a bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Vaughnking:
Droid Bionic

Yes, I have a Droid Bionic XT875. I took it to Metro and they were able to flash it with Houdini, but they cannot program the phone. They assigned a Metro esn in thier system, I tried changing the Phone Number and MIN with CDMA Worshop. Everything and seem to work fine, but I still get a message that my device is not authorized for use.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] oakieville:
Call *228 say switch phones go thru after redo programming with cdma workshop should work if ur meid is really in metro inventory not sure how they got houdini to accept it i have tried several times
[Motorola Droid Bionic] scottyd035ntknow:
Seeing as how T-Mobile just bought Metro and is going to start re-provisioning their spectrum... might not want to use Metro. Although their CDMA network isn't going totally bye-bye till 2015... I'd think you'd rather be flashing to boost or Virgin anyway if you were going to flash to anther carrier. Those are CDMA and use the Sprint towers which have WAAAYY better coverage than Metro. But their 3G is ass, like... 300k down, 80 up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcusVanSciver:
Hi all,

I purchase my Samsung Galaxy Nexus from 3 (Three) UK Store last Thursday. It has been faultless bar the odd hang which taking the battery out has resolved. Im using it on Orange.

However, this morning I picked up my phone and was notified I had the volume bix fix update.

I downloaded and installed the update and all was well for about 20 minutes.

Then my phone started going crazy!

I think its something to do with the screen as it keeps popping up the google search bar and flicking through some options, then the screen stops responding.

Sometimes the phone flicks between home screens partially and make them jiggle!

Locking and unlocking the phone gives me 5-30 seconds of normal use, then the phone goes crazy or just doesnt respond.

Ive turned the phone off and on, removed the battery and even reset it this evening.

It doesnt do it ALL the time, and whenever I try and do it on queue, it doesnt!

Luckily tonight I got video of the phone going crazy.

Can anyone help?

The phone is bog standard, ie no roms/roots etc.

Should I take it back or is there something I can do?

Also, since ive just reset the phone, ive had to set up my mail. Once the phone behaved I put in my account details and then it started popping up the menu button at the top of email, ie to change folders or accounts etc. Deffinately seems to be something with the top of screen.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
Maybe download the original shipping rom from Google and fastboot the image onto the phone and see if the behaviour continues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
This.

There's links to the original roms with or without the volume fix in place which can be found on the development section. I used this to update my gun and its working just fine. I'm also on Three UK and the reason I did this is because even though the volume bug doesn't affect us three users I still like being 100% up to date.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
I discovered that the middle button has a screen protector. I carefully removed it with a knife. Without it became much nicer and easier to press button. And most importantly - squeak has gone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mrglass86:
hahaha, after 2 weeks i thought my middle button looked like crap.... i looked closer and was shocked i missed that, i LOVE ripping off protective plastic, and i couldnt understand how i missed it, unrelated i saw i did the same on my microwave buttons like 2 days later
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] grasshoxda:
lol cant believe i missed it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vessk0:
I discovered it when we meet with SGN but now is full of scratches :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carhigh:
I found mine after having the phone a week. It looked like it was cracked because it was off set just a tad, then i realized what it was and pulled it off
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
My sister had a similar issue with a phone camera a few years ago. She couldn't understand why every picture was blurry...Yep, the protector over the camera lens was still on the phone LOL.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Mine looks pretty flushed in w/o any bubbles but you can tell there is a protector, Im leaving it there coz my S1 had scratches galore on the home button.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
Because it's just simple plastic, where as the screen is scratch resistant glass.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cushcalc:
Who knew? Plastic over home button and camera lens!

Son of a gun. My Note has plastic over both of these spots, until just now after reading this thread!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sibere:
Untrue. I pay a very good attention at avoiding scratching my screen but I made a tiny one :-(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] speedofheat:
I was wondering why the middle button on my Note had started to look yellow after barely three weeks of use. Awesome find! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Strategist:
Ha I hadn't noticed that as well.

Hadn't noticed the protector over the camera either. There seems to be a second smaller circular protector over the camera lens. Is that supposed to be removed as well? To be honest I haven't noticed any blurriness in the pics so I am wondering if it's better just to leave it there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] torkel_b:
Good find, thanks!

I wish I could start a thread saying that there is a black protective tape over the brightly colored S-pen button but unfortunately I can't... :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oneiricl:
I found the camera lens covering half a week into owning my Note and felt kinda stupid for that... so I looked over every surface to make sure there was no more plastic...

And now I find, 3 weeks in, that I missed out the home button... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RomBox:
the protector is too small to find...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] avetny:

Hi Guys

Ive recently been trying to sort out my wife's SGS its run like a dog since she got it.

Ive updated to the latest firmware kies advises 2.3.5 XXJVT and have now rooted the phone with a view to installing fixes for the phone.

Ive attempted to run the lag fix. Ive used CF-Root-ext4-v1.3 app to do this. It work on all partitions apart from /system where is says "cant restore files - not enough memory ?" then rolls back to an RFS partition. Since doing this the quadrant score comes in at around 2300.

Can anyone advise me on what to do to resolve the issue with the /system partition or advise of any other tricks I can use to make the phone preform better ?

Thanks

You need to remove some system apps...like Aikedo books and Daily brief, allshare....one you dont use....use an app from the market like absolute sytem to remove these apps...its free on the market. Once removed you will have more space to do a full conversion to ext 4.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richie1888:
Is there any other way around this ?

Is there a list of safe apps to remove ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanisleryan:
a way around it? No, you need more space on your system to convert to ext 4...everyone that has a stock rom needs to make space to convert to ext 4 otherwise they have the same result you did....unless you want to keep aikido books and allshare for what ever reason. Those are the ones that most people remove. Its perfectly safe, you just wont have those apps anymore....those apps arent running your system.

[Android Apps and Games] chillfancy:
I was looking for an application that would encrypt and decrypt SMS, so that the carrier, or anyone else listening in, would be unable to monitor SMS traffic. To be clear, I am referring to a shared key system for SMS traffic, not encryption of saved messages.

The real question seems to be, could a plugin be created for GO SMS or even the stock msg app that would allow this feature. It would be important to make encryption strong ENOUGH without increasing the size too much like PGP would. Also, one must consider the original developers of GO SMS (Asian dev team) and the right to create plugins for their software.

Any ideas?

I have many tablets and have/had many Android phones, but my wife is wanting an e-reader for my 9yo daughter. I have a color Nook with CM7 on it that is about 6 months old but I want to buy her a new something for Christmas..

I got a Dell Streak 7" from Best Buy on BF for $170 and will give that to her unless there is some advantage to getting a Kindle/Nook.. I thought any books or apps that the Kindle could get any Android Tablet could get, but I am not 100% sure, also not sure if the screen is somehow better for reading books on the Kindle.

So my question is..... Is there any reason not to give her the Streak as an e-reader or should I order her a Kindle?
[Kindle Fire General] Semantics:
If you have Amazon prime, she can stream all the kids shows/cartoons to her hearts content. The kindle app for Android is much different than the reader built into the kindle. The kindle has a million more features native to the device.

Hi All, I have attempted to flash clockwork mod onto my G-Tab using This guide. I put the update.zip into its proper place in the internal sd card, and then booted to recovery where it looked as if it installed and then it rebooted, I then went back into recovery where now it is stuck at the Viewsonic Birds screen and says in the corner "Recovery Key Detected" "Booting recovery kernel image". It never made it to clockwork. I know that it is not bricked, I can still boot to the normal OS but would like to get it to clockwork and then to a custom Rom. Any Suggestions or help for this?

I have done several samsung captivate root's and flashed them with custom Rom's so this is not my first rodeo.

That CWM version is for 1.1 bootloader. Boot to Android, go to Settings, About & see which TapNTap version you are on. If it starts with 1.2 you are on 1.2 bootloader. If it starts with 1.1 you are on the 1.1 bootloader & you flashed the wrong version.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvh2k:
Hey guys,

Was trying to de-Carrier IQ my phone today when I made a serious rookie mistake. I renamed the following two files and rebooted, and now only get the "Samsung" logo at boot:

/system/lib/libiq_client.so -> libiq_client_old.so

/system/lib/libiq_service.so -> libiq_service_old.so

I also renamed the "/system/bin/iqmsd" daemon (to iqmsd_old), set "setprop service.iq.active 0", and "pm disabled" the various CIQ services but I don't think these changes are related (successfully rebooted afterwards).

My restore plan was to flash ACSRecovery5 using Odin (not previously loaded) and then mount the /system directory, renaming those libraries (.so's) back to their original names. While Odin reports success in flashing ACSRecovery ("ACSRecovery5-1.0.0.0-epic4g.tar.md5" under PDA), when I boot into recovery mode (VolDown-Camera-Pwr) the stock Samsung recovery menu still appears :-( Also tried experimenting with ADB--"adb devices" reports the phone as "offline" during normal boot (where it freezes at the Samsung logo) and doesn't even show the device in download or recovery modes.

PHONE DETAILS:

Samsung Epic 4G (Sprint)

Stock Eclair (DI18)

Rooted using z4root

Apps + Data backed up to SDCard via TitaniumBackup (not sure if this captured my SMSs and notes)
