[Atrix 4G General] sheva850:
HI !

I explain my situation, hi I had an Atrix American AT & T, bought from a user on already unlocked ebay for the Italian carrier. he had the root and bootloader unlocked. Then arrived in my hands and i installing a previous sbf and the result is an hard brikk like a perfect idiot .

Now the telephone is in assistence, options if everything is ok are two, the first is change the motherboard for 150 Euro, in fact they inserting an Italian motherboard with the last one gingerbread but without root and bootloader unlock :(.

The second option is it, if they can, they can maybe reload us the original software or original firmware and so my Atrix return to me with the block operator AT & T, so i must unlock with codes for my gsm country (ITALIA) without root and bootloader, value for 19 euro. Now, for you, what i can do? First or second option?

I am ignorant in matter, the operator unlock i can do online? What's the best and affidable site for unlocking? If i unlock the GSM carrier, the phone work perfectly? or i can have problems with wifi and bluetooth?

Best Regards

Giorgio

Ciao a tutti;vi spiego la mia situazione, avevo un Atrix americano AT&T, acquistato da un utente su ebay già sbloccato per le reti italiane, aveva il root e bootloader sbloccato.Poi arrivò nelle mie mani e io installando un sbf precedente l'ho brikkato da perfetto deficiente Ora il telefono è in assistenza, le opzioni se tutto va bene sono due, la prima è che mi cambiano la scheda madre a 150 euro, inserendo quindi una italiana con l'ultimo gingerbread, ma ovviamente senza root e bootloader bloccato.La seconda opzione è che forse, se riescono, possono ricaricarci il software originale o firmware originale e quindi mi si ripresenterà con il blocco operatore AT&T, senza root e bootloader bloccato, prezzo 19 euro.Quale delle due scelte mi consigliate?Poichè sono ignorante in materia, lo sblocco operatore lo si può fare online in uno dei tanti siti? qual'è il migliore?Se sblocco la parte GSM, non è che poi mi rimane un blocco wifi e un blocco bluetooth?Salutoni a tutti Giorgio

You might as well go for the network locked one. Half the time you can get the unlocked code for free or little money.

[Atrix 4G General] sheva850:
Ok, but if i unlock my phone for GSM part, the phone work well or my wifi and bluetooth are locked and i see the message error when i use they ?

Please ask my question
[Atrix 4G General] RobKort:
Bluetooth and WiFi are separate and the carrier lock has no effect on them so you will be fine.

Mmmmmmmm well ... you know any site for unlock ? What's the best ?

Because i don't know they :(
[Atrix 4G General] sspa:
Other people talked about "sim unlock" a lot; please use search function of this forum. I believe you'll need to pay for the unlocking code, if it's from other sources than your carrier
[Atrix 4G General] pjcons:
If u search eBay for "Atrix at&t unlock code" u will find a guy who does it for $2.

Cheap as chips. Unlocked mine this way and using on telstra Australia now fine. Love my Atrix! :-)

Hi,

About the .23 version , how can i know which version i installed - for XE or the original sensation?

I forgot :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The 1.23 hboot works for both sensations.

It's the ROMS that are particular to the original or XE versions.

:)
[HTC Sensation] incident:
but.. there is 2 versions of this file (XE and the original) and i forgot which version

i installed on my phone :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] animal_he:
My SGA is on GB 2.3.6 (Russian ROM) and I have installed No-Frills CPU, but I am not able to use it to full potential. The Developer says I need some custom Kernels for this.

Which Kernels are these? Is it ok to use diff kernels?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
what do u mean by "full potential"?

afaik for changing cpu scaling freq, cpu governor or changing disk io scheduler, u can do it even on stock kernel. maybe the selection is a little bit less, but it'll definitely works.

i dont know if cpufrills can also change cpu voltage, even so we dont have any kernel that support cpu voltage changing yet.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] animal_he:
You might have seen No-Frills cpu, but few users are getting more governors than me using some diff kernel.

anyways, I want some other way, so that my cpu cuts down frequency really down when phone is locked, and jump up accoring to requirement. (Just like Cool'n quiet in AMD)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
then u might wanna install cfroot kernel. it contain smartassv2 and interactiveX that do have automatic cpu down scaling when screen off.

but u can also set up profile to do it manually on other governors using setcpu.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] scoffyburito:
What about the kernel by squadzone supposedly optimised for gingercruzt but it works for cm7 and has 6 IO schedulers, but cf-root is best for stock
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] animal_he:
My phone is already rooted and got busybox. So if I use cfroot, what would the affect on previous root and busybox? How do I backup current kernel if I need to go back.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
no, it wont affect root as it also give root.

and just use clockworkmod recovery to create backup of ur whole rom. and if u just wanna restore kernel use the advance restore to restore just the kernel itself
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Hey, I'm using ICS Final and I only have the InteractiveX and normal Interactive options but not the smartassV2. Where can I get it? I'm using the Smartass governor out of all of them. What is the difference between the two? (V1 & V2)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] animal_he:
Thanx a lot for all the info mate. Can u just help me find one appropriate for my phone?

im sorry if ive missed something out but how did you connect your play to the tv? do you have a dev model once again excuse me if ive missed something out
[Xperia Play General] AndroHero:
It's an xperia arc, with all the play apps and a PS3 pad :p
[Xperia Play General] CZroe:
Too bad the actual Xperia PLAY doesn't have a working HDMI port. :(

That said, is there an official way to use a SIXAXIS/DualShock 3 or do I have to do it the hackish way that any Android device with Bluetooth can do?
[Xperia Play General] DeanBoro:
that is not the play.
[Xperia Play General] poo-tang:
I am working on a semi official way as tablet s has it officially. Am trying to port it but will be useless on play. But on arc hope to get it fully working including pairing controllers with otg. We do how ever think in Sony's scheme they will be making ps3 pads compatable officially with any PlayStation certified device to promote sales of both pads and games but that's in the future.
[Xperia Play General] CZroe:
Why would it be useless on the PLAY? I've already had some coworkers who wanted to play some 2p games on my phone. :) Yes, we'd both have to use BT controllers because it would be on the dock stand.

Been searching for a while and couldn't find any info. Since upgrading to ICS (the alpha from cyanogen) my market apps do not seem to be syncing, every time I flash a new rom I have to re download all of the apps, is this a known issue? and before you say anything, yes I know it is only alpha, but as I cannot find any info on it I am not sure if it is related to that fact or not, also sorry if I am posting in wrong section etc, I am new here, thanks.

[Nokia Lumia 800] scarlet_pimp:
I like to have my phone so that I can hear it when I get a text or phone call, so have the volume set to 30/30 and on ring and Vibrate.

Problem I have is that when I open an app or youtube vid it comes blasting out so I turn the volume right down, then I forget to put it back up when I exit the app, so I don’t hear my phone ringing.

Am I missing something or is there no media volume setting? Also is it possible to get new notification sounds and ringtones or to set your own, I’ve not put any sounds on the phone yet, and is possible to make the keyboard vibrate when pressed rather than make a noise?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Frosty3k:
Making the phone vibrate when you use in general is called haptic feedback and as far as i know the Lumia 800 has this only for it's 3 capacitive buttons.

I would search for an app that gives you haptic feedback for the keyboard.

Regarding the sound volume issue...all i can say you are not the only one complaining about this. Nokia/MS should have made two sound profiles. One for the ringtone/notifications and one for the rest. You could try searching for an app...my guess is that some talented dev. will fix this problems much faster than Nokia/MS.

I'm sorry i couldn't give you a better answer, but the thing is the OS is still in its infancy and things will get fixed in time.

I'm confident that you wont have to live with this issues for much longer.

Cheers
[Nokia Lumia 800] scarlet_pimp:
Thanks for the response.

I absolutly love the phone by the way in every other way besides the volume issue it is superb.

Hi guys.

I searched on google and on xda ahs well and i found many people claiming that Rom manager does not support galaxy ace. Is it true? If yes how can i backup my rom ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CNghost:
Your Ace is ****ed if Rom Manager invades your phone. To backup roms, you need to flash clockworkmod 4 or 5. Browse the dev section :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] evil_penguin:
don't use rom manager ..Instad of that use clockworkmod(CWM)

First,download the CWM 4(official ) or 5 (works good) into the root of your sdcard

then boot to recovery mode

then go to apply the update something like that ,

then choose cwm 4.xx or 5.xx

install it ...

reboot......

again go to recovery mode

then now you will notice you will have CWM 4.xx or cwm 5.xx

now go to > back up and restore

press back up ...

it will take 5 mins....

done?

now reboot:)

enjoy.....

To restore :

boot into recovery mode go to > backup and restore >restore >find your previous backup rom.choose it...

it will take 5 mins to restore...

reboot done :)

Are you able to fill up the entire card with data?
[HD2 Accessories] TheATHEiST:
Never buy SD cards from ebay, especially if they are from a low rated or a Chinese seller as they will always be fake and lower size then advertised.

Only buy them from high rated sellers.
[HD2 Accessories] Axel85:
I bought it from an italian topseller in ebay.The auction was for a samsung class 6,so it s not my fault.I mailed the seller,and he offered me a replace for an official samsung with logo printed on.

The fake card is a real 16gb card,but the speed is not so great.I want the original one for the 10 year warranty,and for security of my data

I'm having an issue w/Market and I know why(robust hosts file) but I'm trying to figure out what the image preview host source is so I can whitelist it in Ad Away.

I've run adb logcat and been through it every which way I can but don't see a line where it's sending a query for the preview images.

Any insight, besides ditching the hosts file, is appreciated.

I don't seem to have this issue, but if it is calling the image from one of the blocked sites in you host file then you may have to remove each one of the sites one by one till you find where the image is hosted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
OK, I ran adb logcat w/no hosts file and of course, the images loaded. However, there's nothing in the logcat that indicates where the images are being served from.

I pulled my hosts file and searched it for the only line that indicated activity when opening the previews and it's not there.

I guess I need to get with Google and find out where they're being served from.

Any other suggestions are welcomed.

Hi guys

i wanna make a simple question and i hope i can get the reply i want

basically i was planning to ask if there is an easy way to root my phone and i had found it on this section so i cover up my 1st question

the second think i want to ask is that since i am planning to root my phone and start playing around with roms and apps i would like to ask before i go ahead and root the phone how can i backup the original firmware of the phone so if in case i screw it up at list i will be able to go back to the original state by flashing the original image of the phone. the reason i am asking that is because i had destroy my new Atrix 2 and till now i haven't manage to get the Asia Pacific version so i was forced to install an ATT version and sale the phone half price instead keeping it and just looking at it, so this time i want to follow the safe side

the details of the phone is as follow and i just bought it today morning

Model: LT18i

Version:2.3.4

kernel: 2.6.32.9

Build: 4.0.2.A.0.62

i will deeply appreciate any response and advise from you guys

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laziepig:
Don't think there's rooting kit for your build yet..

if you happen to root it, download SE Extreme Tweak Installer.. this will install CWM Recovery where you can backup and restore your firmware before bootup.

Then you can start messing around.
