[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahanddeem:
Might work or might not !!! backup all your data and apps first then use the shotgun method lol

But what I am sure of is that Nexus S phones are always unlocked and SIM free..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knuffibaer:
Hi.

I purchased a 9100 from ebay. The problem what the phone has is, that if i put in a sim card it can not connect to the gsm net. It always switches from the signal bars at the top to the stop sign. Aprox. every 10 sec.

When i look in to the network settings, i recogniced that the offline switch always switches from ticked to unticked. :confused:

I tried the following things.

# Unlocked the phone with "galaxy s 2 unlocker app" code and tried a different sim.

# Unlocked the nv_data.bin backup with a hex editor and tried different sim card.

# Restored nv_data.bin bak file

# flashed 2 different one file roms.

# flashed a 3 file + pit with repartition on

# did several factory resets

# tried to disable fast dormancy

# checked imei -> ok

Update:

# Hex edited nv_data.bin from product code dre to dbt (open germany) and deleted nv_data.bin.md5

# changed product code to dbt

# Tried 2 different stock roms

# started clockworkmod and wiped data/cache and dalvik cache

# fixed persmissions with clockworkmod

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knuffibaer:
I did open the phone now and took a look at the anenna cable and the antenna pins. They look fine.

I do not have an idea what is wrong.

do you mean the apn settings? i do have problems with the gsm connection.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:
May be you phone was stolen and now is in black list? If you are living in UK, I now network which is belongs this phone just blocked, and you can use just outside of country.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knuffibaer:
i do not think that it is blacklisted because i live in austria. in this country we do not blacklist phones as far as i know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knuffibaer:
Just to make sure that it is not blacklisted, i deleted nv_data.bin and did get the developer imei.

Same problem.

What I can say is that it looks like it is not an imei problem. Because i tried to copy over my nv_data.bin from my galaxy s 1 with hex edited name. I did get a unrecogniced imei and my network was permanently not working.

After i did put in the correct imei it was "working " again, but i can not make calls and my signal symbol is interrupted every aprox. 10 sec with a stop sign.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knuffibaer:
Today i tried to update the bootloader to an older version. I also checked the clear rfs option in odin. To my surprise my imei was still there after the flash progress.

I still did not find a solution I would be happy about any idea that i can get from you guys.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Knuffibaer:
Still no success.

I tried to update to ics but i still can't get a network connection.

I also tried to restore my original locked imei and tried to unlock it with the galaxy s unlock tool which gives you a code to enter. But it did not work because the hardware version of the phone is 1.4 and from what i know is that the unlock code find method only works until 1.3. So I tried a different tool which simply removes the lock bit. (Technically the same like i did with a hex editor before, but just to make sure)

It did not work.

Then i tried to take a different nv_data.bin but it was from a hw 1.3 version phone and the phone did not take it. It displayed the developer imei.

So where are the expert tips? :rolleyes:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] coraxe:
Hadn't used my tablet for a couple days, when I woke it up it was down to 3%. This occurred while it was plugged into the charger the entire time, now the power button is flashing and the charge seems to be stuck at 3%. I've done a reboot and reset with no change. Anyone else experienced this behavior?

Thanks!

I had the same exact problem a few days ago I'm running ics I had even called Acer to send back then the next day I decided to to move the charger to a different place in the house I had already reset it through settings then. Kept pushing the little reset button in the pin hole and I left it off for a little on charger next thing it said 24% and wow hope you figure it out

I lost my data for gta 3, I have a fully completed save game but that gets boring quick. I already started over once and don't really want to again..if someone with about half way progress could share their save game that would be nice. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chuckhriczko:
I'm not sure which files are for saving but they'd be in /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fadownjoo:
Yea it would be in /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3/files/GTA3 and they would be called something like GTA3sf9.b or GTA3sf1.b .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] theking_13:
Since you guys seem to have the game, would you recommend I buy it? I usually buy games/apps that I like, so money isn't an issue. I just want value for the money I pay.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fadownjoo:
definitly worth it. I never played gta before this lol and this game has hours and hours of gameplay...its the full game!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LostInNorth805:
I would recommended buying since it plays very well on the g2x. Its only 4 or 5 bucks you can't bet that price. Since this game cost triple the amount when it first came out 10 years ago.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dabesiv:
im a noob at hacking etc. and i have a few questions if anyone is able to help at all that would be great. I just got a Dropad A8T. I was able to Root it with GINGERBREAK but am still having some problems with it. I have a very limited market, low hundreds, and im sure thats because its from China. I learned how to edit the files so it will use all apps but after each reboot it always goes back to the original file not the edited. there are a few firmware links ive found around the net but they are on a Chinese website and google translate only goes so far and i can't seem to find a good firmware when i actually find one.

so i guess my questions are, how can i fully open the market and keep it open, and where can i get a new firmware? sorry if these have been asked before i searched for them but didnt find anything helpful.

[Touch Cruise General] lonefoxking:
Hello,

I can't manage to make my polaris boot, When I plug it in the charger it does not show that it is charging, however, I removed the battery, plugged the charger and tested the contacts with the voltmeter and it showed that there is power reaching the battery.

I can enter the bootloader & MicroSD flash mode normally, I even flashed a new Hard SPL, default radio, and the official ROM, but nothing, it does not start!

I tried the hard reset (IE icon + gps & restart) it successfully did the hard reset, but failed to boot.

I assume & summarize with the following:

1. If the battery was failing, it wont be able to go to bootloader and flash the ROM.

2. if the USB contacts are not good, power will not be able to reach all the way to the battery contacts.

3. If it is a software problem, I have did the Hard SPL, New/Default Radio & Default/cooked ROM.

Can anyone please tell me what is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thank you in advance...

[Optimus One, P500, V General] freddysam:
The last working version of the chase mobile banking app was v2.1 for me. Ever since then, the updates have broken some aspect of the app for me (including taking clean images for check deposits). Chase requires you to update if you want to use the app. So using v2.1 doesn't work anymore. Here I took the v2.1 of the app and tricked it into thinking it is v2.4 (the current version).

The only files that have been alerted are:

AndroidManifest.xml

res/values/strings.xml

So by changing the version number, the app doesn't try to force you to update and will work just like v2.1 used to. You can verify the changes by comparing the original v2.1 of the app (with the correct signature that will install over your current v2.4 of the app) to the fixed version that I am posting (that has the test signature that will require you to uninstall the official app before you can install it)

Original v2.1 app: http://www.mediafire.com/?66kfstrbsb1hvvb

Fixed v2.1 (shows up as v2.4): http://www.mediafire.com/?qdd65g9dy8odjr2

Requires a clean install. You cannot use the upgrade feature.

Enjoy!

Hey guys,

So i found my new favorite case!!! the ringke from rearth is sincerely the slimmest of them all..yes yes..the protection it gives is not as good as other cases but if you are a careful fella you wont have an issue at all..the look is legit.

Here you go enjoy

Great review! This case looks perfect. I have the barely there and I'm not liking the fit for the GSM. On the website it says it fits both the GSM and LTE version. Which version do you have?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DevinLeFevere:
I went to go order it and it's not on their website. :confused:

Edit: Found it. Bummer though.. "However, the case itself is design for the extended battery so when it is use with the standard battery pack the spacing near the battery will vary." =[
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Case is slick but the screen protector on that nexus is atrocious. Hopefully the rinkge is a better fit and you apply it properly ;)

I have an XO and wondering how the SP compares.

Ringke also is taking preorders for the Verizon LTE Extended battery model. The original is for the GSM standard battery.

Asus TF101 ICS 4.0.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheKaz:
So buy an extended battery - they are cheap :) if you're gonna spend this much on a case, you can't complain about spending about the same on an extended battery.. I've actually found I like the feel of the phone better with the extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
it is the same version for now...however if you have an lte there might be a very tiny tiny tiny gap..I reccomend you to wait as they are coming with one that will provide a perfect fitment for the lte 2100 battery that way if you plan on extending your battery this case will fit like a glove
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
devin do you have a gsm or lte?

im using my gsm and there is no gap with the regular battery...but if i put my extended then a small gap happens

I am rocking the regular battery on the video and it fits nice for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
im never serious on my screen protectors cause i change them so much when i review them ..but just to let you know its an incipio one that came with one of the case..not the best quality to be honest

Its time for me to change screen protectors hehehe..im waiting for the plus from rearth to review it as well that way i dont rock it naked

yep they will be sending me one for the extended lte one so i can compare side to side , seems that the demand was too big and they pulled the trigger
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbl77451:
Greetings to all!!!

I'm interested in buying a used Galaxy S2 that from a seller in my town but before committing I need some advice.

The phone is bricked and from the carrier Claro in Puerto Rico (SIM locked). The seller says that he was trying to root the S2 but somehow it failed and turn off automatically. Now, it won't turn on. Asking price is $160 but he can negotiate a better price. Reason for the sell is that he does not have time to repair it and got a new phone.

So, I was thinking on getting the phone and try to repair it myself. If all recovery methods fail, there is a company that will do a JTAG Brick Repair for $50 plus S/H.

What do you think? Should I buy it?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjcks:
Wouldn't trust the reason for its bricked state.

Personally, i wouldnt risk it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Buy a new one. What if it can't be JTAG'd ? You're out $160.

Doubt Samsung would touch it, and even if they did it would cost you at least what you paid for it for them to repair it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattcfk:
What if it is not a brick? If the screen is broken, that will cost more than that.

Sounds very risky.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
The phone is bricked and from the carrier Claro in Puerto Rico (SIM locked). The seller says that he was trying to root the S2 but somehow it failed and turn off automatically. Now, it won't turn on.

Probably thats an easy repair instruction found online and repaired in half an hour using a USB recovery Jig but if that fails it would need a JTag repair .

That would make me suspect the sellers claim not to have time to repair or investigate a repair on an expensive phone .

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] otisw:
Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img is 3,974,103,040 bytes, the card I have formats to 3,956,789,248 using partition wizard. Thus, win32diskimager fails due to a slightly larger image (about 17MB).

Is there a way to resize Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img to make it fit? Any other method than to use a different card? I would suspect the original SD card was just imaged directly and it was a bit bigger.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
I had the same problem when I planned to give the SD version a test run. I tried to write the image to my 4GB cards. The image was 3.70GB and my SD card capacities were 3.69GB. Not sure if Celtic and the guys know this or not.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
SDFormatter by Trendy (a small, free app) has a function to try to reallocate lost space when formatting. That may be worth a try. Also writing the image to a freshly formatted disk with a regular card reader may help as the Nook automatically adds a number of directories as soon as the card is inserted.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
I just tested on digital warfare using wifi tethering with and without wifi sharing and wifi manager frozen. It works both ways. I do not know if this is the case universally because I know tdj took tethering manager out by default and I don't know if he made mods allowing to use wifi tethering without removing those apps. Bottom line: removing those does not compromise your ability to use wifi tethering. But to be safe, you should just freeze them instead of remove so if you do find they do something critical then you can restore them
