[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndb86:
Hi all. sorry to revive a few month old thread, but at least I'm not creating a whole new one!

I have a Motorola Defy. Generally I'm pretty geeky, but I decided to root it at install ICS 4.0.4... it all went well... eventually. However I have no conectivity to my network. It will not send or receive texts calls or data to the network. Wifi does work still.

Honestly I'm done screwing around with it. I just want to restore it back to original factory settings and admit defeat. Where can I find the original firmware that will work In canada on the Telus network? This is my only phone, I have no other cell and no landline so I'm kinda in a pickle and would appreciate anything you could do to help me get up and running again.

If there is any more info you need just ask, I'll try to get it for you.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vicsa:
Try it with this baseband switcher. Maybe it will help you.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndb86:
Thanks! I actually just saw your post, but I figured that out all by myself! It did work though! I appreciate the reply!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndb86:
ok new problem... everytime I shut off my phone it reverts back to the wrong baseband. any idea on how to keep it on the new one? every time i reboot I have to swithc baseband then do a restart. it them switches and works perfect. If i shut the phone off it reverts and I have to go over it all over again.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vicsa:
Try to convert defy baseband switcher to a system app with Titanium backup.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndb86:
Thanks Vicsa! Used Apps2ROM (ROOT) instead because I'm cheap, but had the same effect. You sir are awesome!

And now that my phone is working again perfect I'll be leaving the F***ing thing alone now unless i'm absolutely 100% sure what I'm doing. Generally I have no issue doing things like this to computers, but it would seem that phones are a whole new breed... Anyways THANK-YOU!!!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vicsa:
You're welcome mate. Glad I could help you :)

Just reflashed stock 4.0.2 on my GN, but when I tried backup in Clockworkmod recovery 5.5.0.0 I keep getting an error message:

I have some zip file in the root but I can't access them either. Please help, I had ARHD 2.1.2 rom but was having issue with my camera app freezing on me, so I went back to stock but now I can't backup or see the zip files on the phone.

Thanks

Got it, was flashing the wrong file. Needed 5.5.02.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
Where is game / app data stored / folder location in Ice Cream Sandwich ICS?

In GB, it was stored in: /data/data/

But that folder is empty in ICS?

I'm trying to find a way to backup the progress of all my games before having to reset the device in order to root it. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I think you need to use root explorer to copy and paste the file somewhere else so you have access to it. Don't know for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
My phone is not rooted but I did installed ES Explorer from the market and it does let me look at system folders.

I looked in the /data/data folder where game/app data is usually stored/located but it was empty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Shameless plug, but I have a guide for this here

If you have a specific game you want to back up, you can just do a command such as:

If you add the flag -apk to the command, it'll back up the APK as well. Basically, just add the package names in order that you would like to back up (the downside to this is that you have to know the full package names for the apps), or just do a -all backup to backup everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
Thanks! Still will be nice to know where Google moved /data/data/ to in Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
It's still in the same place.

Data isn't viewable if you aren't rooted...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
I am rooted. I looked in /data/data/ and that folder is empty on the Gnex, but on the Evo3D, there are tons of folders where the APK's have stored their app data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beatsleigher:
YOu need Root explorer by Speedsoftware for this!!

It is still stored in /Data/Data

Use TT backup/Root Explorer and don't forget to remount as R/W!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Your earlier post said your phone is not rooted.

Have you looked in /data/app-private?

ES may need to have the root option checked in settings...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
I have since, been rooted! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antonio.v.s:
I am looking for the data in my phone but I can't found it,

My phone is rooted,

In the root folder I have and data folder, but is empty,

I also have an datadata folder and is also empty.

I have the OI file manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
There's apps for that lol

EDIT : I forgot but it backups your data as well.

I use App Backup Restore by INFOLIFE religiously every flash, I actually back them up to an external HD because of the numerous times I'd forget and flash anyways.

And as for your actual question mine are located in /sdcard/Android/data/

I use Root Explorer and File Manager(free) and they both seem to work great when it comes to locating files howeverrrr! I did just come across a bug myself, I usually ADB my game data files with no problem but when I tried a big file size (ie. The dark knight rises), it said it was on the phone (settings/storage) but I couldn't find the file for the life of me with any file manager which resulted in a re-flash. I hope you have better luck!

You all need to keep in mind that the SD card is simulated! As are most of those folders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] christopherrrg:
Also the root directory for games/apps is usually data/data/(appname) sorry didn't realize it saved in two directories.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsmouse:
I have several spare droid 1 and 2 phones, I have been playing with, and I have been looking for a way to disable the radio simi-permanently.

This is the best way I found so far:

1: get a root shell or explorer

2: remount system RW

3: edit /system/build.prop

a: change ro.telephony.default_network=4 to ro.telephony.default_network=0

b: comment out rild.libpath=/system/lib/libmoto_ril.so

4: remount system RO and reboot.

After this, I get 0 bars, so I think it works, and wifi still works.

My question is just a sanity check: am I doing something stupid that will bite me later?

[Nexus S Accessories] 309041291a:
Herro peoples! :D

I want to buy a skin for my Nexus (not a "case").

I was wondering if there is a skin out there that is pure white. What I mean by that is a skin that is just white, with no menu button designs, NOTHING but white. If there is a white skin with cut outs for the menu buttons (so that they appear black when not turned on and glow white when active) I would be more interested in that though.

I desperately want to turn my "white" nexus to a completely white phone :mad:. If there is another way to do this besides skins, like changing the face cover or whatever please tell me.

Thanks ahead of time! :)
[Nexus S Accessories] withinsea:
...Could I suggest a spray paint bottle :D?
[Nexus S Accessories] polobunny:
You can buy a bezel online and paint it white. You can also get an already white back cover. That's the whitest you'll get, since there's no screen with a white portion.
[Nexus S Accessories] 309041291a:
LOL. Naw I'm good. Some other guy tried that on the forums somewhere... I'm not that desperate...

My phone is already the white Nexus S from Telus so the battery cover won't be needed. I might try the bezel.

Unique skins (http://www.uniqueskins.com/Products/Samsung/Custom+Samsung+Nexus+S+Skin?t=c) and decalgirl (http://www.decalgirl.com/category.view/Samsung-Google-Nexus-S-Skins) both have a white skin... Unique skins also let's you make your own skins so I can make a solid white one. I'll try that before anything else. Only worries are that the skins won't cover the 2 sides of the front screen that are black, only the other areas (only the top speaker area and bottom buttons area). I'd get upset if that happened lol. So I am going to end up getting a pure white case too
[Nexus S Accessories] polobunny:
The decal girl one looks like it has sides (and there's a solid white one). Dunno about the uniqueskin one. Since you already have a white back cover, there's only the bezel left.

Edit: It has the buttons though. >_>
[Nexus S Accessories] 309041291a:
Eh I;m actually not that upset about t having buttons I'd still get it LOL. Tough choices... I either make my own solid white skin on unique skin without (assuming) buttons or get the decagirl one with buttons... Which would look nicer?
[Nexus S Accessories] Drike19:
Just to help you out some, I was trying to find actual pictures of the Decalgirl skin on a nexus s, I found one review. Here is a good idea what the phone would look like with the skin on, you just have to imagine it white :) Like I said in my thread about Decalgirl skins, when mine arrives I'll take some pictures. Hope this helped!

http://mommysmemorandum.com/decalgirl-giveaway-revie/
[Nexus S Accessories] 309041291a:
+1 (Wish I could give you +3 lol)

I was looking for something to show what it looks like on the phone screen but I couldn't find anything. Probably just being lazy. Thanks man, now I REALLY want that white skin XD ... + A white mercury silicon case ;P they be bawse :p

Hm I wonder if it is possible to get rid of the menu button print on the bottom... White-out/marker or paint O.o....? Or would it look nicer with the menu buttons... decisions decisions....
[Nexus S Accessories] Drike19:
No problem always willing to help!

I believe when you get the skin you don't have to use the cutouts, you can leave them on to cover up, we shall find out tomorrow or Friday.
[Nexus S Accessories] 309041291a:
Can't wait XD

***** EDIT:

I went ahead and bought one too and a white case. So when they come in the mail I'll slap them on and post pics in the thread I opened up.

The pics are already posted, here is a link to my thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447778

Is anyone else having trouble with sprint billing in the android market? I lost the option to bill my Sprint bill.
[General Questions and Answers] HelloThere1:
Hello, I live in the UK and I got a Samsung Galaxy S for Christmas, but now I'm returning it to Amazon for a refund because I paid £250 for it and it's only a single core, so I think that a Dual Core phone would be a much more worthwhile purchase, and would last longer. (and I had the lag issue on SGS).

Now, the problem is I'm not sure which one to get. The Galaxy S II is off the list because of price (£400+), and the HTC Sensation is good but I'll probably have to wait a bit before I can afford it (£330 at the moment).

This leaves me with the LG Optimus 2X - only £250, however I'm really skeptical about this one, as people keep saying it keeps rebooting and freezing etc etc. It's a shame because my mind was set to go for the LG :( :( :(

So yeah, I'm really confused now. Can anybody give any advice?
[General Questions and Answers] ranjan.alva:
How about Galaxy R ??

Same as S2 but with scLCD Display
[General Questions and Answers] HelloThere1:
Thats still insanely expensive...
[General Questions and Answers] _ax3l:
I'm seriously considering buying an MI-ONE.

I watched some reviews and i'm impressed by quality/price of this phone (~£250).

It has an Snapdragon MSM8260 dual-core CPU 1.5 GHz with the Adreno220 and 1Gb of Ram with an MIUI based ROM and unlocked bootloader.

The only thing that stoped me so far is the lack of support in my country (must shippit to china 4 warranty).
[General Questions and Answers] ashishling:
Galaxy S+ is also a good single Core option
[General Questions and Answers] kemaro30:
i suggest a Samsung Galaxy Wonder, although it's also just single core it's not that big and has a really good appearance. all phones do lag my friend and it can't be avoided, even an i3 computer lags too, so i would say it's a part of devices and you shouldn't worry about it. better choose the one with the looks ;)
[General Questions and Answers] 340DartMan:

Hi guys,

It seems like it is impossible to get a Transformer Prime in Germany within the next two weeks, during the weekends I live in Germany, during the week I do study in the Netherlands - so my question is:

Can any of the Dutch guys here recommend me a store/online shop where I can order the Transformer at the moment? My Dutch is not that great so I kinda fail at searching the net...

Dank vooraf!

UPDATE:

As you can see in my last post, I ordered from mycom.nl, and they already shipped it! If didn't place an order yet, check out this website: Tweakers Pricewatch

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] h0l:

Another question: They do ship the keyboard dock with the international keyboard layout in the Netherlands, right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
I'm not telling where yet, in fear of all of them being ninja'd right from under my nose before I can finally go there in the afternoon.

Nothing personal. ;) Will share location once I secured mine.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Standard QUERTY except things like the euro sign on the 5 and such id guess. ;)

And sorry no, its not in Drente. ;) Its in Brabant.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] h0l:
That's because the Swedish use "non-english" lettes on a daily basis, like à, ë, í, ñ, I guess. The Dutch use almost no umlauts and so on, I never bought a keyboard in the Netherlands (I live there since one year), so I was woundering if they'd even bother making a special keyboard for a relatively small market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fedefedefede:
Just to let you know that I bought 2 hours ago a 32GB Transformer Prime incl. dock at the Cali Electronics shop at Shiphol for 579 Euro. I was told that they currently only have the Champagne-gold version available as this was anyhow my preferred color I grabbed one!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Sokonomi:
Mediamarkt in Bergen op Zoom still has 5 available for Monday pickup.

Not sure which models exactly, but its minus one 32gb champagne one for me. :D

Shame as for €539 it is a good deal. Hopefully DSG shops in Edinburgh will have some stock...

Would someone who bought the Prime in the Netherlands please take a photo of the dock keyboard and post here? I'm thinking of buying one but would like to check the keyboard layout first as it is not my native one.

I also owned an atrix. Its a no brainer.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PopG:
I'm currently using both and I'm quite happy with my Note. Probably the only reason I still use my Atrix is when I require more pocket-ability even though the Note is quite pocketable. Performance wise the note on at&t 3G is almost the same as the Atrix. Also, the Note will supposedly get ICS and I highly doubt that Atrix will.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Viamonte:
Atrix owner here. I can doubtlessly state this phone is far superior. The screen is incomparable, not only because of the size, but because u can use it with ease under direct sunlight, something you can't even dream of doing in the Atrix, and it's a worthy gaming/reading machine. The Atrix had extras, but they are, after months of use, easily identifiable as worthless.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Krshaw18:
I'm going to piggy back what everyone else is saying here. I also owned an Atrix from day 1 of its release and it was a great phone. This device blows it away. Batter life is actually better than it was on my Atrix! (and it was incredible for me on Atrix) The screen resolution and colors are incomparable, the Note is simply in a class of its own, the colors and images look painted on the screen, I remember when I first turned the phone on it took me by surprise. The more I use this phone, I find the diverse it actually is. Playing games, reading books/pdf/documents, watching video, streaming music, this phone does it all and does it amazingly. Wouldnt trade it for any other phone in the foreseeable future. Go for it, you will not regret it, and neither will your wallet :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] onin1911:
Thanks for the replies. Ill get it this coming weekend!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bcroc:
While I didn't own an Atrix (had a Desire before), after all the reading I came to one conclusion: as long as you can live with the size, the phone itself will be your best choice:-)

Love this thread because its about the 2 best phones of 2011.

Samsung NOTE - best performance, best screen, best battery + pen

Motorola Atrix - hands-down best phone of Q1 and Q2 and currently a great contender
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
I thought about buying an Atrix because of the accessories and then decided that it still would not replace my laptop so couldn't see the point. The Note doesn't try to replace a laptop but it does replace a phone and a tablet and that is what most people want. You will be able to carry the Note everywhere like the Atrix and enjoy the much better experience.
