[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadgalaxys2:
Hi All,

Recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Gumtree online. It was only working on o2 network so got at unblocked from a guy at a market stall so that it works on all network sims. It was working fine for about a week but then randomly came up with a message saying "emergency calls only" and I coulnt make or recieve calls or texts even if i changed the sim to o2. The internet was still functioning correctly however.

Called network provider and have been told that there is a bar on it by an insurance company. Tried to get back to the seller but have not been able to contact him. Have reported him but I would just like to know is there any way to unblock this phone at all? Dont want to lose out on all the money spent on it. would it be worth downloading any unblocking applications if the phone has a bar on it?

Please any ideas, comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Apologies for the long message

Thanks

So after a few months of stock, i jumped into some of the roms available for the Photon. Kudos to the Devs, I enjoyed your work. But I decided to come back to stock because of stability, and the HDMI mirroring which I use a lot for Netflix.

Now that I am back to stock, it seems that the resolution of the HDMI output has been reduced. I am not filling up the screen with a full 1080p, the aspect ratio is wrong and netflix no longer fills up the whole screen. I did flash jokers latest rom that has the new version of webtop.

However I flashed 198-7 with RSDLite and that should have brought me back to stock, no? is there something i need to do to get this working properly?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bradleyw801:
So, you did an SBF back to stock, and this is what is happening? Also, you are using the same TV, same app, and same everything as before, and you are getting a different result right? I just want to make sure.

It's possible that even though you reverted everything back to stock, there was still a file that was edited to change your resolution. I would try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198230. Hopefully.
[Motorola Photon 4G] studentjunk:
That's for webtop. I think he is talking about simple mirroring. If you flashed the sbf, then that would fix it. What resolution is your TV listing as the input? I had the same problem last weekend. Didn't do anything memorable. Was stuck at 480p. reset data, redid the sbf. Finally, after giving up, I thought I would try switching the hdmi cable from port two to port one (in the tv). It worked fine. I then switched back to the way it was, and it worked fine. I apparently had somehow loosened the cord I think.

Just a thought.

Ok, I just rooted my ASUS Transformer, then, I got paranoid and there was an OTA update, so I updated, cause I didn't want to be rooted anymore. I did the update, and after the update, Superuser is still there, and my market looks messed up, is there anyway I can remove superuser, and/or fix the market? I'm really paranoid, and it feels like the end of the world. For the market issue I tried clearing the updates for the market, and that did nothing. The build number is 8.6.5.21, now, I previously did the Razorclaw root on 8.6.5.19.

Please help.

Hello,

I have a Kindle Fire running Cyanogenmod 7. When I put the device to sleep, the Wi-Fi turns off. This is, at most, an inconvenience, however I would like to know how to solve it. Is there a way I can do this? I have already gone to Settings>Wireless & networks>Wi-Fi settings>Menu>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy>never. That did not work. Is this a bug or is there a way to solve this? Thanks!

I am getting the same thing suddenly. This just started in the 2days though. I am running 100% stock also.

I'm having same problem only recently on my Kindle Fire 8" 7th gen. Don't know what those programs are, or how to flash, but I've rebooted both device and Spectrum Arris modem/telephony/router more than a few times. I've deregistered and reregistered the Kindle, which means re entering all passwords and downloading apps. I've looked at device, wifi advanced and display settings and there is nothing set that shuts wifi on and off. It literally connects to either 5G or 2G as I choose and within seconds, wifi disconnects. I'm at my wit's end. Is there a workaround or fix for this?

Question Answered

Thanks!

So, I have gathered the following source from the link provided above.

What is a partition?

A partition is an area of allocated space, a division of the whole overall area of space. In this case our partitions on the Epic 4G are /System, /Data, as well as /Cache. All with set permanent sizes.

What is a partition map?

A partition map is the configuration of our partitions, it's what in a vagueness sets our required sizes for the divisions of our nand also known as flash memory. A partition or partition map should not be confused with a file system. An example would be BML and MTD.

What is a file system?

A file system resides on the partition map and governs the data being read/wrote/moved/etc by the Operating System, in this case Android. Changing a file system is less complex than an overall change in partition mapping. They again, are not the same thing.

What is MTD?

MTD is an Open Source Partition map. It allows those who are using it control over how their partitions are sized and how much space is allocated here and how much space is taken away from there. Currently on MTD we have 689 megabytes of space allocated to our /data partition allowing more to be downloaded from the market as an example. MTD as a partition config has YAFFS2 as a file system residing on it governing how data is transferred and the speed of which it is done. EXT2 through 4 aren't possible on the MTD platform, just as YAFFS2 may not be possible on the BML proprietary platform.

What is BML?

BML like MTD is a partition map, however it is proprietary in nature, Close Source if you will. The size for /System /Data /Cache is set and permanent and makes opening up space more of a task for Developers. Stock the Epic 4G comes on BML, and is running RFS as it's file system, once rooted you can leave RFS for EXT4 (Journaled or Un-Journaled) as long as the kernel you use allows for EXT4. But in the end, changing a file system on BML does not lessen or enhance the control you have over your partitions.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
It does matter whether you get Android 2.1 and 2.3. Android 2.3 is (on most devices) faster, more stable, supports more apps, has many bug fixes and optimizations than Android 2.1. Recommendations: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161270 (not Eclair :p). CyanogenMod is also very good.

I got my KF as a gift and wanted to avoid amazon all together. I used superoneclick and put cyanogen7 on. Have TWRP working also. Everything works great for me right now. I never let the KF do an update and was wondering if it is recommended to put the update on. I can't tell from the about screen which version I am at but It is the original firmware. I don't plan on using amazon for anything. If I should update, what order should I do this?
[Kindle Fire General] MarMed10:
from what i know, once you install cyanogen mod on the fire it will not need the update, because you completly moved away from the amazon firmware.

You could try unlocking it: https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode&hl=en.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] a.key:
Unlocking (simunlock) wont help, besides you already have it sim unlocked.

This phone is blacklisted in your country and from what you said it was due to insurance claim. If I were you, I'd call the original carrier that the phone was in and report it. Maybe they'll send you to the police or something but through the carrier you could get to the seller as they still have details on who originally bought the phone.

Alternatively you can sell it further to somebody outside of your country who is not planning to visit your country ;) as the phone will be blacklisted only in your country and nowhere else so it will work fine there only not in your country.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Snakeforhire:

My technophobe, not-very-young parents just bought two HTC Desire S handsets as I drag them into the smartphone age.

I'm going to install CyanogenMod 7, firstly because it's what I run on my Desire HD, and secondly because I think it will be clearer and easier for them to get to grips with than Sense. If you feel I'm wrong, please speak now. :)

They currently have a single Google account which they use on their PC for mail, calendar, and Picasa. (They do most things together.)

Would it be an intrinsically bad idea to let them both use the existing shared account on their new phones? the only obvious downer I can see is that if one of them reads a new email, the other will see it as read in the list but they tell me they can live with that.

The alternative is to set up two new accounts and:

1) Set the old email account to forward new mails to the two new accounts.

2) Perhaps set the new accounts to Cc each other whenever mail is sent.

It feels clunky though. Any opinions on whether they shoul both use the single shared account for all, or just for some services e.g. calendar?

Hi guys,

I'm a noob and a hate myself... yes.... but, I found this video on youtube (please put youtbe and . com before the link, because, it's my first post and I can't post links) /watch?list=PLCF2B1FFAF3E0BA85&feature=player_detailpage&v=LBb-OzkPNsc and as you can see, there's a guy playing with Xperia play using something like a tv out feature. I saw this, and i went to the Sonystile e bought a IM820 cable. Sadly, the cable is incompatible with my Xperia Play (R800A). I am from brazil, but I saw some European sites selling this cable that was compatible with XPLAY.... I don’t known what to think about. Any ideas of how that guy on youtube video was playing on TV?

Plus, there's another thing that I would like to share with you. Here in Brazil, we have a site called reclameaqui.com.br that allows users to complain about companies. At this site, I've found a guy complaining about Sony Ericsson, because he bought his phone after watching a commercial. But his phone wasn't able to use TV-out feature.

Sony said to him that the versions sold in other parts of the world are not identical...

I found it all very strange. I would like to hear from you.

Thanks.

Sorry for my poor English.

The ones with TV-Out are DEVELOPER handed Phones.

So, YES - there are XPlays out there with TV-Out .. but those are extremely rare and were only produced to show what can be done on a big screen for a load of people.

some efforts were made to get us to that stage with our 'common' devices, but they - so far - all failed.

No factory reset just deletes all user data, the only possible option without s-off would be a ruu as much as I know, but with it there could also be problems unfortunately.

And the way to go back to a previous version is this. I have used it myself, works 100 %
[HTC Desire S] RicardoAlves27:
That is a safe thing to do? It`s realy the stock version that we have when we by the phone? Have Portuguese language? I need to "unlock" the phone to do that?
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Messing with your phone always can turn out badly. If you read the guides, know what you are doing and follow the instructions strictly the change of getting in trouble is minimal. But there is always a risk.

The stock version of your phone can be checked in Settings -> About phone -> Software Info -> Software number

you will see a number like this 2.10.401.8

the third group of numbers (401 in the example) is your specific version.

According to this number you will choose a RUU for your region, which is an official HTC software and should contain your language

The guide that I linked in my previous post does not require any unlocking.

Root it and flash a custom ROM. Most custom Roms toss the bloat for you if you just root it then you can freeze certain APKs but make sure you do your research because certain APK's will mess up other things. For example freezing the Yahoo APK will not allow you to view your contacts. (weird, but true)

I'm noticing that as of recently, at least in my area, it seems that Sprint 3G and 4G incoming connections are blocked. I assume this is the work of a proxy on the Sprint side.

Where I was able to use KWS Webserver, SwiFTP, and remote Web Desktop (server applications on Evo 3d) and connect directly to the application on the phone before - it appears that has changed relatively recently.

I've done the ##DATA Proxy Change in hopes of remedying the issue but still see the same problem. I've tried different ports as well as scanned the reported phone IP externally with nmap and don't see any reported open ports.

When checking my network connection - I'm seeing two IPs:

Local: 21.15.56.* & Public: 66.87.68.*, neither appear to be directly routable from Internet --> Phone.

Any one else have any experience with this or know of any workaround methods to get out from behind the Sprint wall?
