Darnit... only 4MB was in contact storage... and it didn't seem to affect my system data.

I guess I'll start preparing to start over. I think I may have done a backup after i fresh installed everything... perhaps I could reinstall that and see what things looked like! :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
Thunderbolt adds a sqlite_optimize script which defrags databases. That may help reduce the size.

Any time I use Titanium Backup to restore my apps, I do it in chucks and never restore system data since I'm always changing ROMs. For chunks I mean restore apps+data only for apps that need it, then restore apps without for all the rest. Any apps which I don't run never save any data so it saves space.

How can I do this with out rooting or modification

Is there a App
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Can't do this without rooting, you'll need a kernel with backlight dimmer.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyn00b:
Is there any way to actually *disable* the buttons themselves, and not just the backlight?

I really want to convert my Nexus S to a "pure" ICS device with the onscreen buttons only. The problem with simply disabling the backlight is that you still get accidental touches yanking you back to the homescreen at the worst times!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkilla:
damn I just want galaxy nexus look there has to be a way

People say screen filter works but doesn't shut of the

Back light I heard people say a app called tasker works

But I haven't try it
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkilla:
So is this possible!!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragnarokx:
Don't see why remapping the keys incorrectly, essentially making them not function, isn't possible. The file(s) to edit should be in /system/usr. Try a Google search on "Nexus S remap."

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
You can do as ragnarok said and remap the keys incorrectly (or not at all). Then if you have a kernel which enables backlgiht dimmer (BLD) you can set the delay to 0 and effectively have the always off.

I've noticed that it does flash SOMETIMES even with this setting, but thats because i'd be using them to navigate since i'm not using the onscreen buttons.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] bracca:
Hi.

I rooted and froze a few laps. Besides the following issue everything is working great.

I'm not getting The notification in the status bar at the top when I get a new text message. I have to go into the text messaging app to see if I receive any messages. What do I need to unfreeze so that I can receive text message notifications?

There is only a few things I froze on the razrx rom. NotificationManager is not one if them.

Thank you!

Posting a list of apps you froze would most likely help in getting a faster answer.
[Bravo General] AgniusLT:
Good day,

I just have bought an Motorola Bravo phone of the ebay and it has one strange issue.

When I call to someone they can't hear me, but if I turn on speaker, they hear me fine. :(

What could be the cause of the problem ? I have dissasembled the phone and saw that the microphone is not replacable ( it is soldered to the mainboard )

Can you guys help me ? Thanks.

Also the android version is 2.3.4 with non working camera (dunno the rom name)
[Bravo General] snnyby:
Did you try a factory reset?

I would not bother flashing stock since doing that would give the seller grounds to deny your refund claim

Just contact the seller and return the phone. I think ebay covers all your purchases including shipping charges.
[Bravo General] AgniusLT:
Too late, I just have flashed stock 2.2.1 rom with RSD Lite and the problem is still there.

But I do not get why there is totally no voice when I speak but when I turn on speaker everything is fine. Is it really hardware fault ?

/update

Tried factory reset, nothing.

Also after reflashing to stock rom I did notice that the kernel version is still the same. Maybe thats the cause of the fault ? before there was strange chinese rom in my bravo, I thouht it messed up microphone and stuff
[Bravo General] FanDroid09:
If you flashed a stock 2.2.1 and it didn't fix it then I think it would have to be a hardware problem... unfortunately it sounds like someone tried to unload a messed up phone on you, hope you didn't pay to much for it.
[Bravo General] AgniusLT:
But one thing I do not understand, clearly there is only one microphone in this phone, I have disassembled it, but one sure thing I can not understand, WHY MIC WORKS WHEN THE SPEAKER PHONE FUNCTION IS TURNED ON DURING THE CALL ? It works flawlessly, but if you turn in off, no sound at all at the other end.

What part of the phone software is responsible for hardware ? Is it Kernel ?

Thanks for answers guys.
[Bravo General] FanDroid09:
I agree that its really weird... I honestly am not the best person to advise you on this particular subject I don't know much about the hardware on this phone besides specs... so if you don't get any good help on this forum (we have low dev activity) you could try a more general and active forum.
[Bravo General] betmen7:
Did you solve your problem?

I have a similar problem, I can be heard good only when I speak over bluetooth.
[Bravo General] AgniusLT:
Hey mate.

Finally I found out that Motorola Bravo has TWO microphones, one for calls, other is on the back near the camera and it is used for video recording/speaker during call.

So I think I have faulty microphone. But not 100% sure. Still dunno which part of software drives hardware, specifically microphones.
[Bravo General] AgniusLT:
Anyways I receive no answers to this problem. So generally I think my front microphone does not work but the rear one works perfectly.

So maybe there is a way to change the usage of the microphone during the call ?

That the rear microphone would be used and not the front one.

Cause some recording apps let me do this like "TapeMachine Recorder"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Yamuu:
Is there -- any way to set the default volume level for when headphones are plugged in?

Whenever I plug headphones (or a stereo cable) in it defaults to a lower volume level. If I increase the volume to max and remove the headphones it remains at max.. but when the headphones are plugged in again- it again defaults to the lower volume level.

I use one of these in my car and listen to Pandora whenever I drive.

I hate routines/ repetition/ anything that prevents me from just getting in my car and going.

Place phone in dock.

Attach charger extension cord to phone.

Attach auxillary/ stereo cord to phone.

Open Pandora.

Set volume on device to max.

Press and hold the CD button to switch to Auxiliary.

Adjust car to preferred volume.

I have an Eclipse '07- it doesn't come with an auxiliary connection so you have to connect one manually to the harness (unused pins) and press/ hold the CD button to get to it. Also, whenever the car is turned off/ on it switches to the Radio on default. This is pretty annoying considering the radio is a LOT louder than what the device outputs- so every time I start my car it blasts annoying sounds if I forget to turn it down right away. :mad: Maybe some day I'll rip that thing apart and figure out a way to change the default.

It's been the same 'routine' since September 2010 when I bought an iPhone-- and now (since I switched to a E4GT) I have to set the volume every time.

Taking items off that list will make me a very happy person. Perhaps one of these days I'll buy a new head unit w/ blue-tooth and install a custom script that will do everything I need on the device with a touch of a button.

** Edit **

I tried finding an answer before posting and had no luck.

Apparently this thread was hiding in plain sight.

Yes, you can lock your bootloader again. Look here.

yes you can go back just use Flash Tool and download then Arc firmware and everything will be back to it's default state or if you did a nandroid backup you can restore it.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Keefo:
Hi all!

My friend was bought a Lumia 800 for Christmas, but its locked to Orange and he does not have an Orange sim.

I have had a look on a few sites stating they can unlock it, but 2 have failed to do so so far!

And having to wait a week+ each time to see if its worked is just getting on my tits!

Anyone know of a place I can get an actual working unlock code O.o

Cheers

Keith
[Nokia Lumia 800] pLUSpISTOL:
Check ##782# in the dialer and it will tell you if it's definitely sim locked or not.

Get him to contact Orange and request them to unlock it. Maybe say you're going on holiday somewhere for a month...

This site could unlock it.

As it is early days it is expensive to unlock it due to certain technical restrictions. See this thread for an explanation and more discussion on sim unlocking.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Keefo:
Will check if its locked in a min, but im pretty sure it is.

Will try orange if the current unlocker i have orderd from does not deliver the code today!

I have tried UnlockLiberty.com and currently trying unlockitnow.com!

I expect it to be expensive to be honest but as long as we can actually get it unlocked in the first place would be a start :-p

Cheers matey
[Nokia Lumia 800] Limblee:
Bought mine from the pcw and tried your # thing. When I dialled the # code it says its already unlocked :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bebida:
Orange can unlock it as long as you know the original mobile number that it came with. It will take upto 30 days and cost £20.42p. So if you can get it done elsewhere it'll be quicker and cheaper. ;)
[Nokia Lumia 800] Keefo:
Ok, so everywhere i have tried so far have failed me!

All said "sorry, not on the database, cant unlock"

One offered to send me an unlocking sim?

God knows what they is, never heard of it before!

Also tried to phone orange, but don't know the original number it came with, and they told me i would need to be on orange for at least 3 months before they will allow me to unlock... which is a freaking ball ache!

ARGH!

Need this damn thing unlocked lol
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bebida:
Oh yeah forgot about the 3month thing. Hmmm only thing I can think of is back street market type stall. Obviously this would mean waiving bye to the warrenty tho.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
It's a small circuit board that sits between the SIM and the phone, they generally cost a couple of quid, and somehow do work.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_SIM
[Nokia Lumia 800] Keefo:
Not botherd about warrenty to be honest!

It was bought at a 2nd hand shop with limited warrenty anyway.

Hmmmm strange!

May have to give one of these a try...

The Lumia 800 uses a slim sim similar to the iPhone 4's dont they?...
[Nokia Lumia 800] Rusty!:
Yes, a micro SIM.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Keefo:
hmmmm, cant seem to find any for Micro Sim's other than the iPhone ones!

Not sure if they will work with other phones...

Sure for a cupple of quid i could give it a go though haha
[Nokia Lumia 800] Bebida:
I know when orange send them out for iPhone and Nokia there from the same pile mate.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Keefo:
Well i have orderd a GEVEY TURBO SIM adapter to see if it will also work in our Nokia.

They do say for all versions of iPhone, but i cant see why it wont work in the Nokia...

Worth a shot anyway! haha
[Nokia Lumia 800] fonefun:
the reason no one is getting unlock codes from the suppliers mentioned for lumia on orange or tmobile uk is because the lumia is actually locked to a new hybrid orange/tmobile mcc+mnc network.

phones locked to this network are not locked to tmobile or orange, they are actually locked to both networks, try both sims and you will see for yourself, that the phone will take sims from both networks, but not any other.

T-Mobile and Orange UK have merged recently.

They have started locking newer NOKIA handsets to a new MERGED network MNC+MCC

NEW T-Mobile / Orange UK Merge Lock uses MNC+MCC = 2343300190233141

Older Standard Orange UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343300000000000

Older Standard T-Mobile UK uses MNC+MCC = 2343000000000000

*

Known models with hybrid lock

Nokia Lumia 700 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile

Nokia Lumia 710 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile

Nokia Lumia 800 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile

Nokia E7-00 locked to UK Orange or UK T-Mobile

*

What About Other Nokia Models?

There will be more models released soon that will require this service too.*

Remember these are newer Nokia handsets, you wont need it for older models.

*

How to Check if Other Nokia is Locked To This New Network.

There are 2 ways to check orange and tmobile nokia handsets. to see if they are truly locked to the new orange/t-mobile uk network or are actually locked to the standard Orange UK or standard T-Mobile UK networks

*

Method 1.

Try both a t-mobile sim and an orange sim in the nokia phone

if the phone accepts BOTH SIMS = locked to new T-Mobile/Orange hybrid network

if only the orange sim works = locked to Orange UK network

if only the t-mobile sim works = locked to T-Mobile UK network

*

Method 2.

Read phone info using usb cable and this software

(software requires nokia pc suite installed first for drivers, full video guide @ the bottom of this page: http://www.imeicodes.co.uk/instruction/nokia.php)

If it displays config key 2343300190233141 = locked to new T-Mobile/Orange hybrid network*

If it displays config key 2343300000000000 = locked to Orange UK network

If it displays config key 2343000000000000 = locked to T-Mobile UK network
[Nokia Lumia 800] stevie_j_b:
Which begs the question, are there actually any solutions yet? If we can't get unlock codes off Orange nor T-Mobile, as the 800 is locked to both, who do we get the codes off?
[Nokia Lumia 800] arvin1:
Ive tried sim-unlock.net and unlockdata.co.uk with no success. anyone else have other places to order from?
[Nokia Lumia 800] RHodgett:
fonefun, thanks for the update on the carrier situation.

Does this mean that the database is only accessable by T-Mobile and Orange at the minute or do unlocking sites have access to the algorithm/codes too?
[Nokia Lumia 800] fonefun:
we have tested around 12 imeis before we put the service live. so yes you will start to see this service on other codes site as our resellers catchup to speed on this very new service.

the service is online already for single code buyers for the tmobile/orange hybrid network locked nokia handsets on the imeicodes website mentioned earlier in this thread. they take about a week to process at the moment. look for the "Special T-Mobile UK / Orange UK Nokia Unlock Codes" service on the prices page
[Nokia Lumia 800] LdnJon:
Hi Fonefun,

Got a Lumia 800 from e-bay not sure if Orange or the hybrid network.

I can't seem to get the Nokia BB5 usb utility to read the phone config key. I tried the 2.5 version too.

The lumia doesn't use the nokia suite but Zune. I installed both with no success. I tried on both a Win7 and Win XP machine. The phone is recognised in Zune but not the utility.

Any advice would be welcome.

Jon
[Nokia Lumia 800] fonefun:
all lumia on orange or tmobile are hybrid

you wont be able to read the lock area using that software, because the lumia is different and cant be read by anything at the moment.

we read an e7-00 ok though with it, this is how we discovered the hybrid. after trying 2 sims in the e7-00 we confirmed this was the case.

so we got the lumias and tried orange and tmobile sims in them, and yes both worked, but any other sim did not, so we sumarised that the lumias are also locked to the hybrid network, we got the new hybrid codes for them and unlocked them, we tried on 800 lumia, our sources tell us all lumia are the same lock types for tmobile and orange also.

we put the link on for the code reading software to enable people to check newish handsets too because we simply dont have the handsets to try ourselves, so there may be more...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrNago:
Hi!

For those of us with SBK v2...should we just upgrade to last OTA?

As in those working on achieving root will focus on ICS

What do you think?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjfriend:
If root is important I wouldn't upgrade until you know for certain ICS can be rooted. You'll simply lose your options if it's a problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildestpixel:
its the bootloader that needs cracking, not the OS.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjfriend:
This is a question, not a statement but wouldn't keeping to a rootable rom with SBK2 still make sense? I could use Razorclaw with my tab until 8.6.5.21 but had to downgrade (a struggle) in order to reroot after update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildestpixel:
This is and has always been the solution for a device so difficult to root (you don't just oem unlock from fastboot!!!!).

Never flash anything that itself doesn't contain :

- Insecure kernel

- Superuser.apk

- Superuser binary

- Busybox

- FOTAKILL.apk

Which is essentially a custom rom even if otherwise stock.

For ICS - wait for the download to be intercepted from cache (OTA) or available on ASUS website in full and then let someone do the rooting of the ROM - just has someone like daoist has for TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildestpixel:
ICS is just as simple to root as any other Android OS as far as the ROM goes. New kernels ranging 3.08 through 3.16 at present have the same structure for ro.secure=0 for making them insecure - they are the only real different bit. The ROMs vary little to GB or froyo in their build up.

I've rooted and insecured a couple of Nexus S ROMs on the Nexus S forum just to help people who don't want the pain of going back to stock, reinstalling CWM and root just to be able to use ICS (along with deodex, zipalign and small systemui.apk tweaks).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrNago:
Thanks, you are a great source of knowledge!

Very much appreciated.

So I have SBK 2, on 8.4.4.11

Should I stay there?

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildestpixel:
I would get root ASAP and go to something like Prime 2.11.

Use the 8.6.6.19 update bought to light by pjfriend get rooted ASAP I suppose. Do it whilst the tools are available to do it and then protect it by going to custom ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrNago:
Thanks, whenever I star visiting a new Subforum I`m so lost!

Gonna do that now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMyers:
Hello,

First, DO NOT Apply ASUS's ICS Upgrade when it comes out, let the development community work on it first.

Almost EVERY Android Device has been rooted, even when it is unrootable. It just takes time
​
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daoist:
Don't rely on the devs to help you when you already have the tools to help yourself!

For a while now people have been used to applying the OTA update and then relying on the dev community to root it again and reinstall CWM. This is pants-on-head retarded, guys. Why root it and install CWM in the first place if you're not going to use it? You have the powah!

First, get yourself to 8.6.5.19 (or 8.6.6.19, depending on your model)

Root it with Razorclaw.

Install Clockworkmod.

NEVER EVER APPLY AN OTA UPDATE FROM NOW ON

When ASUS releases a new update, someone will make a CWM version of it (that someone lately has been me :) ). All you have to do is wait for it to be posted, then flash it via clockworkmod. Bam! You get the update and you get to keep root.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osho741:
I think what happens is people get antsy when a new update comes out and go all willy nilly installing stuff just to have it lol. So people dont go all willy nilly just wait a day or 2!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RambJoe:
Can we use these US roms on UK devices though?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildestpixel:
Like daoist says in every instance patience.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daoist:
Probably not!

I need the dlpkgfile for your device in order to make a CWM package that will work. Lots of people are interested in the WW variant, so I've been able to do those. There's a few other variants I know of, like DE and TW. I don't think they make a UK; you're probably on the WW.
