Hello everyone,

Sorry for the n00b question, but my search on Google gave me some very old, and very muddled results.

How do I sync the Android calendar on my Thunderbolt (not rooted) with my Outlook calendar events that I type into and save on my PC (Windows 7)? Which is the easiest way (not hardwired/USB'd)?

[Nook Color General] Subtleone:
The problem is that the price is nothing special. You can get the same or better at Amazon for example, and that is for non-sales. On sale I got mine for $11 with shipping, and sold directly from Amazon.
[Nook Color General] woneil:
Yeah, but can you get a Sandisk for $11? From what I have read on this board, Sandisk is the best bet.

I just want to add (learned it on a hard way :crying:), before uninstalling/deleting system apps your not sure, freeze it first using Titanium Backup (a very handy and useful app).

Freeze one or two apps at a time to remember easily. If problems occur you can unfreeze it back. A day or two without having any problems/FCs go ahead click uninstall. :)

Deleting Phone App

It says NO to deleting the Phone app, saying that we can't make calls anymore. Is it OK to delete this app if I intend on replacing it with the stock Google Dialer?

Also, can we delete the stock contacts app if I'm going to replace it with the Google Contacts apk? Thanks!
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] nishant_713:
I think that should work fine. i suggest you place google dialer/contact in system/app then, with the permissions. I suppose you've ensured already that these apps are compatible with the device. I no more have a galaxy 3.

Hi [MENTION=4162344]nishant_713[/MENTION] OR anyone reading this message,

Cant we replace the Settings app with another one within the system folder?

Long story:

I have an android based tv running on Kitkat 4.4.4, and it has a china based motherboard and very simplified version of ROM (mstar). I want to replace the stock Mstar settings apk with the "google" stock settings apk within the system/app/ folder. I have root access to the TV.

Things I've done till now:

- Downloaded google stock "Settings.apk" along with "Settings.odex" matching to the android version and ROM style (i.e Tablet type as the board is using tablet rom, not android tv rom)

- Copied both the files to /system/app/ folder

- Provided them with read/write/execute permission (via: chmod 777 command through adb)

- Restarted the TV, but still no luck.

The new settings app is not visible anywhere. Maybe, the old settings app is still overpowering them and needs to be disabled. BUT, will disabling the stock settings app will revoke every access to the TV??? Will I be able to connect to the TV again via adb?? ANY INPUT IS HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

FYI: I connect to the TV via ADB wireless, where TV is connected to my network via ethernet cable.

Delete Samsung Account system apps on Samsung Galaxy Note 4

How if I want to delete Samsung account app cause it stuck there. Cannot sync/log in/remove account/clear data and so on . What will happen to the phone if I did that? And the function I not use any of them like Samsung pay/ Samsung health and so on. Ya before this I always keep in use that Samsung Health apps but suddenly after a lot of new model of Note coming into market then they stop it on Note 4. So no update and if you want to install the apps apk from outside play store, it will says it cannot be anymore. I worry if I delete Samsung Account system apk like using 3C Toolbox Pro or Titanium then if I do a hard reset to factory setting, at the time to start setrting as a "new phone" I think they will as to log in to our Samsung account and if not it will stuck until that section only like what happened to me before which is even I can open and log in from other phone on browser to their website, but my "new" phone cannot. Sent to technical staff to repair, they also failed to resolve it until one day I found the answer by my own which is we have to delete all our devices list which is link with that account or atleast just delete that the problem one only. After that then the setting on that setting on log in part section will be done successful. Meaning this "new pone" is not the same as what in the list on Samsung account website even though it's the same and only !

So if I do an uninstall of that Samsung account system app, maybe it won't be there ( in that last section part of the setting ) anymore in first time setting after we done a factory reset.....and it failed totally until we have to solve it like I stall a new ROM or what they called it as good as if they wanted to do ROOT and upgrade android version which is not a standard version anymore.

So what do you think? My problem is I only have this pone and no pc or laptop to operate like a technician. If I have for sure I will do it without asking here cause I loved to explore and experience by trail and error.

Oh ya..Why I want to do that ya?

Because I cannot put my email cause it's there but cannot edit do whatever, only can see. And failed to sign in. Seems looks like error password like that but I so sure it's a correct one.

When I go through 'about' section and then 'version' for that Samsung account app is ;

version 2. 1. 0201

Last Updated : 1970/01/01

(*&^/$#@=_€$)

What the HELL !!

Not even Samsung, I also not borned yet on that date !!

That is why the problem came out by.

How if I did a hard factory reset, then when at the last part it says "failed to sign in"..doesn't it's gonna be a big trouble ever??

Today I got in my inbox an email from Smith Geiger concerning a survey for my phone, supposedly to help t-mobile. It even features prize drawings! Anyone else get this?

I still have my doubts about how legit this thing is :-\
[HTC Amaze 4G] gregb882:
Nope, but I'll keep an eye out and report back if I do.
[HTC Amaze 4G] brocco99:
It looks like an illegitimate phishing email to me.

A real survey from a company the size of T-Mobile would at least be sent with T-Mobile branding, sent from e-mail addresses at least made to look like T-mo, and ideally containing info T-mo has on file, like your phone number; this message isn't at all like other T-mo messages.

Anyone who has clicked through on this please let us know what you found!
[HTC Amaze 4G] droidemere:
I got the same email yesterday. I opened it but didn't take the survey. Something didn't seem right.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fistertondeluxe:
I received this a couple days ago. Was bored at work so I went ahead and did the survey. It took about 5-10 minutes. Most of the responses were on a strongly agree to strongly disagree scale of 1-5. Examples of questions were what preloaded apps do you use the most? these were the T-Mobile mall, highlight and all the other bloat. There were a couple questions about what you would like to see in the replacement of the Amaze. Other questions were about the feature and which 3 are your favorites. Examples of the feature are the camera, watching TV/videos, video chatting.

It also asked if this is your first HTC phone, what other phones you considered and how satisfied overall you are with the device. When I picked somewhat dissatisfied it then asked why.

After completion of the survey, it mentioned that my answered met the qualifications for a longer 3 day study and if I was interested in participating. If I participate and complete the study I would get $50.

[HTC Amaze 4G] brianbmb:
Smith Geiger is a legit marketing/research company. No reason to be scared of the survey as the information it is collecting is completely related to your thoughts and feelings about the Amaze, HTC, and TMobile. In other words, it doesn't ask/require any personal and identifying information to be submitted.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps] cbnash:
Is an unbelievable experience. Like having the printed copy right in front of you!
[Atrix 4G General] matthew5025:
1.Bootloader!

The bootloader of the atrix CANNOT be relocked after it is unlocked! Yes, I know if you flash a stock SBF file the "Unlocked" text will be gone, but it is not relocked!

Explanation/Elaboration: When you flash the pudding file, what you are flashing is a bootloader. When you key in oem unlock ******, you BLOW a fuse. Non-reversible. Hardware based, not software. So, when the 'pudding' bootloader runs, it sees the burnt fuse and knows the phone is unlocked, thus printing the "unlocked" text. When you flash back to stock, the stock bootloader doesn't even care about that fuse, and WILL NOT skip signature check in fastboot aka locked.

This WILL NOT REVERT your phone back to stock, the stock bootloader just doesn't care if you are unlocked or not. Motorola can easily check if your phone is unlocked, but USUALLY will not. DO NOT BLAME ME IF THEY DO FOR YOU! Now, stop going around saying "my phone can be relocked" =)

2. Hard brick

If you OTA to Gingerbread, and downgrade back to FroYo, you WILL get a HARD BRICK! Also, updating to v4.5.141 and than unlocking the bootloader will also cause a hard brick!

Explanation/Elaboration: Yes, it the damn fuses again:rolleyes: When you update to Gingerbread you will BLOW a fuse in ReservedOdm[1]. If you downgrade to FroYo, you will get an Error "SVF:105:1:2" Mainly what that means is that at the lower part of the Odm[1] called 105, the bootloader expects the fuse to be '1' but found out its actually '2'. It then refuses to boot, sending the phone into NvFlash mode, which we cannot use as we require a SBK from moto.

Reference:Thanks eval-!

3.Xoom ICS release

The release of ICS for the Motorola Xoom does not help in any major way to the development of ICS on the Atrix.

Explanation/Elaboration: Yes, we do need the ICS kernel for Tegra 2. Yes, the Xoom uses Tegra 2. No, they are not the same. The atrix uses the Tegra 250 AP20H while the Xoom uses the Tegra 250 T20. Yes, the one on the Atrix is slower, but more importantly, different! (Thanks live4nyy!)

4.Carrier Unlocking the Atrix (NOT BOOTLOADER UNLOCK)

This is less of a myth, more of a guide. If you CANNOT unlock the Atrix even with the code provided (I can/will not provide), do NOT keep trying. All you are doing is wasting the number of tries you can try before the phone will not accept any more tries. What you should do is flash to an AT&T rom/radio and try again. This is assuming you want to unlock the AT&T version of the Atrix of course. Once unlocked, the Atrix can be flashed to your hearts content and will not be re-locked. (Thanks Abu-7abash!)

Any other widely mistaken facts about the atrix you want corrected?
[Atrix 4G General] G-Man.:
Nice, straight forward write-up. Hopefully this helps some of the n00bs get this info through their head :)
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I got one.

Myth - The Xoom having ICS will help in the development of the Atrix.

Fact - Just because the Xoom is a Tegra 2 device and running ICS does not help (or is very minimal* :confused:) development to the Atrix.

* I don't know the exact details but I'm sure this is the gist of it.
[Atrix 4G General] ifalldownalot:
UFOs > Bigfoot
[Atrix 4G General] stang5150:
I'm curious. So this fuse that blows in the phone when flashed, is the only purpose of this fuse is to identify an unlocked phone? Is this fuse added to the phone by Motorola or are they required by the carriers to install these fuses?
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
eFuse is an IBM invention. I posted a lengthy explanation of this a long long time ago after verifying the Atrix was using eFuse technology. When you read eval's explanation it is very accurate, except that you cannot "burn a bit". You could "set a bit" which sends the signal to overload the hardware circuit.

Carrier can specify they want a locked bootloader or not. I believe the method could be up to the manufacturer, but carrier may also specify type of bootloader lock. Of course, manufacturer may have an internal policy that all phones have a locked bootloader, but include provisions for unlocking it.

eFuse does not blow a fuse per se. This implies there is an actual fuse in the phone. eFuse (electronic fuse) is a circuit built into a chip inside the phone. When you unlock the bootloader a very small electrical charge is sent to that circuit and simply overloads it and burns it out. eFuse technology is not solely used for bootloaders. They are in many more electronic devices than you may think. eFuse is both software and hardware based. Software sends the signal, hardware circuit is blown, software checks this circuit on boot-up, when the circuit cannot be completed the software knows this, and reports, in the case of a phone, that the bootloader is unlocked.

Now, that said, this thread just serves as another one for idiots to read and ignore. All the info posted here has already been posted in a hundred other threads. Giving "myths" their own thread will just serve to create more inaccuracies as people post "myths" that they really know nothing about. Who is to say that anything posted here is any more accurate from one person to another? Sorry OP, but "myths" may actually become myths in here.
