[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
so i gave my brother my rezound, and its rooted on ConRom and he's having the OTA try to update in recovery every monring at 3am and wakes him up because it's really loud even if the phones on silent lol...although i find it hilarious, he doesn't.

therefore, i went through, deleted the otacerts.zip, and the updater.apk and everything mentioned that could do it, but it's still coming throguh.

does FOTAKill work on ICS?

android market sorry. Will get a link when im out of class. School blocks market.android.com lol
[Android Apps and Games] dmarchant:
What a great, practical app. All I could do with is it working with UK and / or Euro coinage.
[Android Apps and Games] DMD9:
Brilliant idea! Any chance of a Euro coin version?
[Android Apps and Games] markp1989:
I was gonna ask if a £ coin was possible.

it does sound like a good idea!
[Android Apps and Games] adecker:
Sure guys! Ill add the euro in there! Would you mind posting what your coins are called. Like here in America they are called quarter, nickel etc?
[Android Apps and Games] forceu:
Yeah, Euro support would be awesome!

The English wikipedia doesn't have the exact size, but the German one does:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euromünzen#Beschreibung_.5B1.5D

"Durchmesser" means diameter and "Dicke" means thickness
[Android Apps and Games] adecker:
Adding the coins right now guys! Thanks for you support and spread the word!
[Android Apps and Games] forceu:
Awesome!! Thanks a lot! :)
[Android Apps and Games] adecker:
Thanks! Mind telling me what they are actually called? All wiki says is 1 Cent 2 Cent... Do they have real names such as Nickel?
[Android Apps and Games] forceu:
They don't have an extra name. We just call them by "1 Cent" or "5 Cent"...

Btw, it would be nice to have an option in the settings menu to ask every start which coin to use - in most cases you don't have the same coin (at least for the Euro region, as we have more coins then you guys do ;-) )
[Android Apps and Games] TweakMyDevice:
What a brilliant, useful idea!

Very nice work. Patent it, sell it to Home Depot to use in their app, profit, then move on to your next project.

Well done sir ;)
[Android Apps and Games] adecker:
Thanks. Added. Only issue is I cant test it. Ill send the update and would you mind testing it for me?

Thank you! Did you try it out? If you did please post a review of it and tell your friends! Or and tap an ad haha! :P
[Android Apps and Games] pervert:
Canadian coins too? This would be awesome for me, but i rarely have american change :) though our coins are very similar size, i'm not sure they'd be recognized. We also have the Loonie and Toonie as well
[Android Apps and Games] adecker:
For sure! Will add tonight! :)
[Android Apps and Games] noonereallycares:
Looks great.

Any chance of adding AUD coins?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coins_of_the_Australian_dollar

Note: We don't use 1c and 2c coins any more and the 50c coin may be a pain to detect.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] adecker:
Yeah, will do when I add the canadian later on!

Thanks everybody for your support! Please spread the word and if you like it there is a paid version to remove the ads :)

galaxy nexus not working

Hey there I like the promise if the app however it is not working on my galaxy nexus lte I don't get the picture after I take it to size the circle. Hope it gets fixed and I may purchaser the app. Also you should link to a hands on to show how it works on like yotube.
[Android Apps and Games] adecker:
Make sure you open the settings panel and choose a reference, could you post more detail about what is not working. Does the program force close? Does it give you a error? It works fine on my Galaxy Nexus LTE and other peoples....
[Android Apps and Games] stylobic:
hey ! great app but i just installed it and don't have euro ref in settings :-x

You may add version n° in your app, so we'll be sure to talk of the same one.

cheers !

I would love this app but need it to have UK coins

I would say most prominent is the UK penny or the UK pound,

see wiki / info here and here
[Android Apps and Games] adecker:
I doubt this would work due to the way the app calculates size.... Its possible though.

Thanks! Will update tonight, also working on a redone UI

[Android Apps and Games] cavey8500:
does this also do pitch? when working on my 3000gt vr4 im constantly going to the hardware store to get bolts and mesuring them with calipers is a pain. if this also gives you the pitch that would be increadable!!!! if not this will still cut down my needs by atleast size and length =) thanks man!
[Android Apps and Games] hlcounterstrike:
This is a brilliant idea! Good work!
[Android Apps and Games] adecker:
As of now it only does shaft and bolt head; however , I am working on length and pitch. As of now there is no eta but should be soon...

i have cyanogenmod 7.2 and pansi program but i don t able to sens any mms also if i tryed to use messaging default programs of cyano.

is there any setting i have to do?
[HTC Wildfire S] kenny47:
Check if you have mobile network turned on. It doesn't work if it is off. If it makes it good but you don't want to have mobile data enabled always, you can find some app (e.g. APNdroid) to control it. (For me this works..)
[HTC Wildfire S] dolphin11:
of course i had mobile network on . i can try using this app apndroid :) i hope it will work
[Hardware Hacking General] besmir001:
Hello guys,

it will be great if someone from you can help me. I have a XDA lls but when i have shut it down it doesn't turn on anymore. I send the phone to a technician and he said that the hardware is crashed (respectively the processor doesn't work).

Now i want to know if it exist a way to change the processor and if yes the question is:

1. where can i buy the processor

2. If doesn't exist a way to change the processor, then where can i buy the hardware (motherboard) ???

p.s, i need also a new battery.

Thanks in advance,

Besmir
[Hardware Hacking General] showlyshah:
Think ur technician is an expert? Think he said the truth? Think he wants to avoid the repair so that he cant make it?

If ur ans are yes,yes,no respectively, then dont read the rest...

If it is no,no,yes then u may proceed...

I said because i am a technician for years.. and wont agree 100% with the fact that your processor is damaged. Coz 95 out of 100 phones that goes dead is not due to processor damage.( atleast for my experience) .

Well that may be due to damaged charging/powersupplay section, or may be due to a dead non retrievable batt. Or in worst case, a dead processor or aged soldering.

Repairs goes this way..

1) check with a good charged battery( batt should be charged via some external charger, never ever a dead li-ion batt can be charged in a phone or so, coz the pda/phones batt charger section have restrictions to charge a completely dead batt)

2) if u have ensured the first step, now open the pda, and check if the rest of the board get enough and proper supplay from charging /power supply section of board( get online help like circuit diagrams / repair manuals etc.. to know which one is which and how much should be the voltage leavels).

3) if u have proper voltages, and yet the phone is in coma, disconnect the main board from every thing, and heat up every soldering joints with the help of a hot air resoldering station( the too dangerous job, unless u r INDIANA JHONS.)

4) Reconnect every thing like as before. And if its still dead, go for motherboard replacement( u can never get the processor unless u r STEVE JOBS)
[Hardware Hacking General] amu_cpln:
True, i too get a feeling that our technician doesnt have enough knowledge or expertise to repair your XDA lls

he may have checked your device to look for some burnout or physical damage but when he got no clues .. he simply told you that the processor is bad ..

The hot air soldering is a very good option .. it is not uncommon for PDA's to stop working all of a sudden due to dry solder and a nice hot air can fix it well .. make sure you donot exceed the hot air temperature and resolder time ..

i donot expect an end user to have a hot air station .. so another option i can suggest is to visit other technicians .. and get more opinions .. but make sure that the technicians donot mess up with your device ..

if none of the technicians come with a solution .. and you have no options left .. you may ask the technician you trust most to try the hot air re-soldering to be done for you
[Hardware Hacking General] besmir001:
@showlyshah

Thank you very much for your response. I will try your methods and see what i can get. It is my interest to fix with your methods (in this case i don't have to buy a new main board), but just in case if something goes wrong, does exist any place where i can buy then a used or maybe new main board??

And if yes how much does it cost approx.??

Now i want to ask you for something else. My battery is dead, i don't remember very good, but i think that my technician has try to turn on the phone directly from adapter with direct connection. (i hope very much if he doesn't broke anything with this).

Since my battery is dead, what kind of battery should i buy?? (i.e. how many amph. etc etc).

I want to thanks you in advance for your time and answers.

p.s. Can you kindly give me your e-mail, skype or msn or something, so we could chat or write directly. Many thanks.
[Hardware Hacking General] amu_cpln:
Testing phone with an external power source may not work with all phones, teh 3rd battery pin BSI is also used by the phone to turn ON .. so if not turning ON with external supply is the reason the technician says it is bad .. he is wrong

The standard battery is 1490 mah i think .. but u better check behind your battery, there are batteries available with higher mah for longer battery life

a question about your old battery - how old is your battery, had it been too weak or couldnt be charged even before this problem (is your battery really dead)

.. has it been unused/drained for too long? how long is it not in use?

if a Li ion battery voltage falls below its lower threshold it will enter dormant state and wont charge with the normal charger

the solution is u need an external dc power supply where you can also control the output current

keep the voltage4 constant at about 4 volts and increase the current till you see a rise in the battery voltage (start with a few 100 milliamps and increase till 800 to 1000 milliamps)

if your battery is simply unused or left uncharged for too long this will help

once you have a good battery you can run additional tests on your PDA

BTW without a good battery how did you figure out that your PDA is bad ..

do you have a multimeter to measure your battery voltage directly

it is possible that all goes well after you have a good battery, All The Best!
[Hardware Hacking General] besmir001:
@amu_cpln

Thanks very much for the explain. The battery is unused for 3 years, so it's practicaly dead (i've not give a try to fix it from three years because i thought i am not able to find a new processor or motherboard). When i send the phone to technician i thought that he might have somehow a new battery or maybe something else to turn on the pda and to see whats wrong.

I call that technician today and i asked him to describe me how he get that conclusion that the processor is dead and his response is:

I try to clean the phone inside and try to turn it on, since the battery is dead, i try to connect the phone directly with adapter (through direct connection with cables, i.e. like a car when you try to turn on with cables). He said also that when i try in that way, a red light it's turn on on both of sides (maybe just in the right side...he don't remember well).

Then he cames in that conclusion that the processor is dead.

Now after i read what you've write, i hope he doesn't mess up and destroy something when he gave a direct power supply.

I will try to find a new battery or someone who have xda lls, and then if doesn't work with a new battery i will try your methods as described.

Many thanks.
[Hardware Hacking General] amu_cpln:
exactly, the lights he saw was just power lights (but the phone didnt turn ON because no proper battery was connected

dont worry about using the external supply .. it wont damage the phone as long as the correct polarity is used (which should be correct since he saw lights

yes, you should first look for a good battery .. and if you dont find one just let me know ..

i will tell you how to fake the BSI pin and start the phone from external power supply
[Hardware Hacking General] besmir001:
i tried to find someone who have xda lls but unfortunately i didn't find anyone in my city. Can you tell me how can i try from external power?

Thanks in advance.

Also i think on the motherboard is missing something, vibrator and microphone, so i will need to buy those two (any webpage where to buy it will be very much help for me).

I will do some photo tomorrow and i will post so you might see what else is missing. :(((((

I were before a year to another technician and i think he might stole or loose those things :((

p.s. The bad thing is that i came from Kosova (Ballkan Country). And we do not have here any "very professional store".
[Hardware Hacking General] amu_cpln:
I was also looking for more info about your XDA IIs failure and i found some useful info

your phone may really not turn ON with a good battery, the internal backup battery also needs to have a charge on it

At first you need to charge your internal battery .. (though it may not be in a good state) atleast to the level that it allows you to boot up

Do you have your docking station at hand, it shall be handy for this purpose

leave your XDA IIs on the docking station overnight to see if you can charge the internal battery

you also need to examine the internal battery if there is oxidation which prevents it from charging

You need the original battery to check for the polarity of your external power supply

check for + and - signs on the battery to find which pins on the phone are Positive and GND

Do you have an external power supply, in that case you could still try to revive your battery as told yesterday (using current source) to the extent that it can allow you to turn ON your PDA - You also need a multimeter to check if your battery is revived and good to use (atleast to boot a couple of times)

If your external battery fails to recover, You shall need to use the external power supply to boot your phone

I found XDA IIs power up pinout without battery at http://pinouts.ru/PDA/qtek_power_pinout.shtml but verify it with your battery first

Connect the Positive and GND with polarity as indicated on your battery and leave it for some time for your internal battery battery to gain charge

Your phone may still not boot correctly with all this power setup .. you need to boot it in Bootloader mode - power+reset+camera to start it in bootloader mode

Yes do make a picture of your main board and post here shall be useful to check

and Do let me know about your results
[Hardware Hacking General] besmir001:
I found a battery to someone, i put the battery but it doesn't turn on. Now i think is for the reason of back up battery.

since the phone is not turned on from some time, the back up battery has no power. I let the "big" battery on it, maybe will charge the small (back up battery) and then would turn on. I will let for some time in this condition and will see what will happen.

If again it doesn't turn on, then i will buy new back up battery, but the question is can i use a "traditional" battery of that size, or it have to be a special back up battery????

Again if this will not work then i have to send to someone to heat the motherboard parts with a heater, and if unfortunately again doesn't work, then i would buy a new motherboard :(
[Hardware Hacking General] amu_cpln:
Good !

Now that you have a good battery, you are a step ahead

But donot just leave the good battery in there .. it will drain much faster

Connect the charger to it .. or put it on the docking station so that the good battery retains its charge

I too shall look for possible replacements of the backup battery - will let u know as soon as find some info

From what i learn from you so far, i least doubt that the motherboard may be defective

Do u have a multimeter to measure the voltage on the backup battery

And remember when you sure that the backup battery is charged and is ok .. also try to boot into bootloader mode (power+reset+camera) since it is also possible that the PDA software is corrupt

Once it starts in bootloader mode you can flash to restore the software
[Hardware Hacking General] besmir001:
Ok

I did what you told me, i also put the back up battery in multimeter and i found that the battery is dead, what i did is that i look for a battery with those diameters and i found the exact match, so i change it.

When i try to turn on, again hopeless nothing happen. Now i will recharge the big battery again and try again after a while.

I hope this time something will happen....and of course if nothing happen again i will try power+camera+reset button...hope this might work :)

I will post the results soon :))
[Hardware Hacking General] besmir001:
Hello,

I've try with good batteries but nothing happens :(, i try Power+reset+ photo button but again hopeless.

I uploaded photo of motherboard. please take a look and tell me if you might see something wrong.

Hope that this might help me to fix something :))

I also try to heat with hair dresser (fan) but nothing happen again. I will start again to think to buy a new or used one.

Anyone who has and will to sell it, please make your offer.
