[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r_caceres:
Galaxy Nexus can't read SIM card

I'm facing a similiar problem but I can't find a solution. Anyone may help me, please?:(

I bought my GN in France (GSM version) and it was unlocked to SFR, Orange and Bouygues but my carrier is Free Mobile. Trying unlock to the carrier I tried to unlock, root and download a ROM using Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit 1.3 and I probably did some mistake... Every time that I start my mobile it is asked the PIN code (not the carrier code!) but when I type the correct code it always shows the message "incorrect pin code". I've put this SIM card in another Mobile and it works, so the SIM card is not blocked...

I downloaded an oficial version from google and I used Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit 1.3 to download boot.img, recovery.img, system.img and userdata.img in order to try to "restore" the original version. The download apparently was ok, but the problem continues...

The process using the option "flash stock + Unroot" and after "OEM Lock" (in GN Root Toolkit 1.3) works but the message "incorrect pin code" continues.

Any clue to solve this? Thanks a lot for helping!

Hi, I have looked to all threads but not one's is for the Huawei 8510, is anyone done or in the making of android 4.0 for the above mention phone?

Marco
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] MtG92:
To be honest with you that is unlikely, since the u8510 is a pretty low-budget phone with low specs...

However, in a portuguese forum called androidPT there's a link for two roms (MIUI v4 and CM9) for the huawei sonic (u8650). In that thread, someone CLAIMS the hardware of both phones is quite similar and that the roms should be compatible with the u8510 with few changes. Note that it's just what I read there, I don't know to what point it is true, but you can try it at your own risk.

Sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet (less than 10 posts), but I'll PM you the links ;).

or how i can clean the internal memory
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Rushyang:
Provide some more info plz. Which ROM you're using? If you're using CM7 based custom ROM then I suggest to go for S2E.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] subha632:
Install any app2sd script, then move all dalvik cache and data to sd card.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] -RDR-:
Either u flash cm7 or use link2sd ...both require root ...they will save your internal storage like anything ...and s2e is pretty gud too but link2sd is better ...

[HTC Desire S] t0x1n:
Thanks, I'm familiar with that video. However, it only shows how to remove the digitizer, not how put it back...

I would think that if I melted that double-sided sticker glue, I'd have to replace it with, say, a new double-sided sticker (or some other adhesive) ?

Or do you mean I can just reuse the same sticker that's already there ?
[HTC Desire S] knockedx:
Not how put it back??

Reuse the existing glue, then. Got it :)

[HTC Desire S] dan281082:
seems the video is suggesting you just use the original glue after heating it, i suppose it still has some sticky left, but when replacing a digitizer surely you need some glue. maybe two sided tape?
[HTC Desire S] shadfurman:
I removed the tape...

I removed the tape as part of the cleanup. If no one has any other suggestions I'm gonna try contact cement and just be super careful. If I remember to ill report back how that goes.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
I don't think that will work. The whole point of using the correct double-sided tape is that it actually leaves a small gap between the digitiser and the LCD screen.

Maybe get some good double sided tape or sticky pads and cut it into strips as needed

I'm making a purchase within the next day or so. Can someone give some in depth thoughts on either phone? Hardware, housing, software, camera, root and ROM potential, etc...
[General Questions and Answers] Zorigo:
Well overall, i'd recommend looking at their stats on gsmarena and comparing, its pretty much got the summary you need, but i'd say nexus.

its got much greater ROM potential, and therefore pushes itself ahead of the droid razr. the Razr is awesome, but the nexus rom scene seems better to me.

However note i dont own either but as a spectator i think the nexus has better ROM potential.

[General Questions and Answers] sumit28june:
Google Nexus. :) won't go wrong with it. Then Galaxy. Last choice would be Razr.
[General Questions and Answers] darthvader88:
RAZR or NEXUS

I have owned both; I would say depends on how "mature" you want your device to be. RAZR is really robust regarding it's skin; copy and paste capabilities; RAZR is really darn easy to ROOT too; (don't remember how hard / easy the nexus was but I had it rooted as well).

I did get to play with the NFC (not beam but wallet) and that was a very cool thing to have; the screen is bigger than RAZR; but RAZR (the phone) is very robust physically as well (screen feels stronger in your hand).

Sorry to go on a tangent there; but again mature "stock" rom with root I would pick RAZR; for the feel in the hand (HMI / GUI) RAZR; external capability (HDMI / Micro SD) RAZR; movie watching (on airplane) NEXUS; NFC payments (obvious winner here) NEXUS;

bottom line; ICS when I had the NEXUS was too darn immature; bugs bugs; and poor nexus was freezing up every once in a while. you're going to ROM it anyways....

From a camera perspective.. I really liked NEXUS quick response time ( shot shot shot shot); however, if you had quality time to take a shot... the RAZRs quality is better....

datawise... (I'm a grandfathered unlimited data person) it always seemed my speed tests the RAZR would always get better results... again both phones were rooted and tethering / downloading constantly... Are you going to drop your phone ( yes - > get RAZR) from a battery perspective... I would pick Nexus.. but...

what was neglected to be mentioned was "RAZR MAXX" now that phone is what I would get.

I'm porting my Sprint numbers to Verizon and don't want to spend too much money on phones after my wife and I just bought brand new ones last year. I considered the Maxx but it's still $200 everywhere I look. I'm getting two phones from either Amazon or Wirefly. Either the GNex ($100) for me and a Bionic (free) for my wife, or two RAZRs ($50/phone). I'm very undecided and need to make a decision within the next day or so. I really want the GNex and my wife would be more than happy with the Bionic, but I'm leaning towards two Razrs

[General Questions and Answers] oOMavrikOo:
Just how bad is the battery on the original Razr? How does it compare to the GNex?
[General Questions and Answers] armus:
I'm a Razr Maxx owner and can give you my impression on the device.

The basic Razr is sleek and well built. It feels like a solid device though it is very slim. The battery time on the latest rom (.173) is good. You can standby for 12 hours and still have 70% battery life. I almost kept it, but I was offered the Maxx in exchange. Now, the Maxx is not as thin. It's solid and slightly heavier. I'm a bit spoiled I think from having the slim Razr for a while. But battery life is insane. I can go a day or more without charging, and regular useage, easily. I really have never ran the phone all the way down yet because I'm so use to charging often and it's hard to get it so low. I'd have to forget the phone for the weekend to give it a good test.

The OS is fine and fast. I use SPB launcher right now for some extra fun but it's not necessary. I do wish I had a few more widgets and stuff like ICS but it's still got plenty to do.

My only experience with the NExus was to see it in the store. The manager told me it was the most returned phone they had because of all the bugs. It was a large phone - twice as thick as the Maxx at least - and made of cheep-feeling plastic. The big thing for me was the removeable SD card slot. The Razr has it. The Nexus does not. Such a basic feature I felt was a deal breaker for the Nexus.

I'm happy with my Maxx. It does everything I want though I can't wait for a full fixed working version of ICS. I just think the Nexus is too cheaply built and was pushed out too soon.

There's actually a good thread on that here in the General Forum, on Page 2.

Or, I'll link it to you here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426244

Basically, it walks you through removing the CM partitions, resetting the default ones to 3.0.0, then you can upgrade to 3.0.4 (or 3.0.5 like I did), and reinstall Android that way.

Hope it helps you, mate !

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exitprogram:
I've read an article recently (forgot the link and where, my memory is horrible) stating that creators of viruses (Malware specifically if i remember correctly.) are starting to focus in on the Android OS more and more ...

Windows gets major viruses because its easy to write viruses for, and the amount of people possible to infect is outrageous.

People don't usually write for OS's like Linux/Unix because its more difficult and they don't affect as many users...

I know most responses to these types of questions are "It's a matter of opinion", so I'm looking for responses from people that know a little something about malware, how it works, and what will work best to protect my Samsung Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch.

I want to know what experienced programmers and developers think the best Mobile Security would be for our android devices.

I don't care about how much system resources it uses.

I've been using ESET Mobile Security as the 30 day trial and i likes its options. Plus, it has advanced heuristics, which helps catch viruses that are not in the virus definitions received when updating.

I'm looking for an antivirus that has a high detection rate, but low false-positives. I did some research and it was found that Avast! is one of the most trusted, plus its free. But i also go by the motto "You get what you pay for"...

Another thing I want is an antivirus that will protect Operah Mobile, and not just the stock browser. Avast seems to only protect the default browser.

Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
In my opinion it's not worth it to run antivirus on our phone unless you are going to be doing alot of piracy of apps .... If you only get apps from market Google catches must stuff t really fast .... Read descriptions on apps you download and don't pirate games and such you should never need avast out such to slow down your phone ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exitprogram:
I use my phone for both business and recreational use. If i get a movie file sent to me from a friend and i don't know where he got it from, i want some kind of protection.

I understand that an antivirus on Android phones is usually an overkill... But i will be kicking myself in the ass if a password to my email ends up being compromised.

I understand that Android phones hardly ever have apps that contain viruses, but based upon that article i ready (I really wish i'd have kept it) its becoming a problem, although not a big problem.

I just want to be protected. For all i know, i could open an excel spreadsheet that i received from a spoofed email address that contains a virus.

You see my dilemma.... So lets start talking about which anti viruses are the most effective.

Regardless,

Thanks for you response.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Anything malicious can only be in the form of an app, because of the Linux structure. Permissions have to be enabled for any R/W access. So the prior recommendation of staying away from pirated apps will suffice.

Also, news articles prey on sensationalism to encourage reading the article. Don't believe everything you read.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] flight01:
What the last person said!!! If you get a movie file that has a virus most likely its written for windows anyway and will not do anything to you're phone. Also no movie file, pic file, or file in general can gain permissions that the app using it does not have. So the biggest thing is making sure the apps you download are legit.

There are a few bugs and flaws like with htc sense where a malicious app can gain access to things because HTC sense logs things it should not. TW does not have those problems now that CIQ is gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdsnyder:
I don't run any kind of anti-virus. Even on my PC. If you stay away from anything shady, keep a throwaway gmail account for anything online you're not 100% sure about and pay attention to where things are coming from, you'll be all set. Unless there is some reason that somebody would want to hack into your phone specifically, then it's just random crap that will hurt you. If you don't know where the movie file your friend send you came from, don't open it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exitprogram:
Ok. So everything that you guys said I about apps being the main way to get infected, I completely agree on.

But what about websites? I'm sure sites, especially mobile websites, have some kind of way to get in through some type of Malware/spyware.

The best way to never get a virus is to watch where you download from and be wary of any sites you go to. I know this. But i use my phone frequently, browse the internet frequently, and I know that all kinds of sites have crap on them. All of them can't JUST be for windows OS. What about websites that specialize in stuff for Android phones?

Also... Can't QR Codes from websites contain malicious things?

Call me paranoid. Call me OCD. But i like things a certain way and i'm just trying to find out what I can do to ensure nothing happens on my phone that i don't approve of.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
I don't really think so, since it's basically pointing you to a webpage. If it points to an app you have to choose to install it from there.

It's very hard (if the end user pays attention) to actually give someone a virus.

If your downloading all your apps legit from the 'Play store' you're going to be fine 99% of the time.

I think the worst we have seen so far is status bar spam anyhow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
The only thing that an antivirus is gonna do is use up more memory on your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exitprogram:
So what you guys are telling me is...

#1 Antiviruses of any kind for an Android Phone are completely useless.

#2 These companies wrote Antivirus/Security Apps.... FREE, for no reason.

#3 Their is no possibility of anything getting infected when connecting your device to a PC or Mac.

Well. I guess I was being either way too paranoid, or you guys are wrong and don't even consider the fact that you could already be infected. I mean, how would you even know your phone hasn't been compromised and people are waiting for you to make a credit card purchase? If they want it, do you think they'd advertise it and TELL you or let it be KNOWN they've written something for it? No. They will keep it quiet so they can steal your information without you knowing it. I mean, We can't even get updates on unreleased ROMS! How do you think the hacker community deals with the viruses that they create? Make a forum about it and let Norton add it to its virus definitions? As I've said, i read an article about it, and where there is smoke, there is usually fire.

There are exploits on every device out there. I don't care what it is. People just don't take the time to write them all if the user base isn't big enough to justify the effort. But it doesn't mean they aren't out there.

Did you know gas pumps have been tampered with to save debit card transactions, along with PIN numbers, and then downloaded wirelessly by the criminal via laptop? This was not a small amount of numbers, either.

Sh*t, i didn't even know my gmail got hacked until i checked my sent box and saw spam messages being sent from my account.

I guess this is why people say it is a matter of opinion.

Didn't mean to start a "Politics" type of debate.

I will just keep using ESET Mobile Security since that is what I deem fit.

Thanks for all of your guys's input.:D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Most virus for Android will request su permissions to actually do any real. Damage considering only a small portion of. The Android users ever. Root their devices the time it takes to write a virus is almost wasted by the cracker, not hacker as hackers are actually coders crackers are the malicious form of hackers, coming from cracking the securities/passwords to steal info, and most ppl who root know what to look for and what to do if they get infected.. Mobile security companies don't write their apps for free, they get ad revenue from the ads in the free apps or you pay 1-10$ to get rid of ads so nothing is. Done for free, the worst virus ever created for Android was CiQ as it logged and sent almost everything you did on your device to who knows what 3rd party companies. So more or less your best antivirus for Android is you

They are "tampering" with credit cards at gas pumps and ATMs, by creating a separate magnetic reader and putting it over top of the reader already present. Not by any software hacking.

No one has said that PC's and Macs are immune from malicious apps.

GNu/Linux is a completely separate security suite vs a PC.

On a PC, any app that is "clicked" will immediately have access to the registry. By which you can change user permissions and application permissions. And the filesystem is immediately available to do whatever the code wants to do. And by proxy, any file accessed by the application also has no limitation to the damage it can wreak. That's how mp3's carry viruses. They are attached to files that would normally have access to the more secure registry keys. Firewalls are made to limit access to the registry. That is a necessity and why people trust security programs. Their software requires it.

Whereas, in Linux, the kernel is seperated from the OS and applications are kept in a sandbox completely seperate from the OS's filesystem. You have to physically allow "permissions" which dictate how far that application can reach. Files do not have any R/W access to the filesystem. The OS just reads and views them. It is not impossible to get in this way, but it is highly unlikely and no known exploits have been found in the wild.

So for anything malicious, you are allowing the corruption, and the only way to know is to only deal with trusted sources.

And to answer your question, Security companies make the software because they can. They are making ad revenue just for you loading the app. And it helps with piece of mind having a repository of known malicious apps. No one has said they aren't what they are advertised, they are. But they are also resource hogs, and unneeded if you understand what is going to be bad content.
