[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neriyous:
Hi, i like to try new rom's and i have tried badly one. Flashed Hero-Eclair-Sense-v0.2 to my SE xperia x8. Than i saw, wi-fi and mobile network is not working. Then i decided to remove current rom replacing backed up rom. Now i can't see my backed up rom. When i'm connecting pc with mobile phone, computer plays plugged in sound and the telephone says that usb debugging is enabled, but still i can't enter to my phone memory card. I don't know what to do? I'm scared a little. Could someone solve the problem or help me to solve.

Sorry for my english, i'm Lithuanian.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Just restore with Sony PC Companion and just so you know, that ROM you installed is an ancient relic and has been abandoned for a long time. Install something new such as MiniCM or GingerDX.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kyosuke215:
Hi everyone, I'm sorry if the question I have had already been asked before, I looked the forum thoroughly, couldn't find an answer. so I apologize for the repeat post.

I have the HTC Vivid (AT&T) about week or so ago I upgraded to Android 4.0.3(ICS) and since then I could no longer find the options that allow me to install app from untrusted sources. whenever I try to install an app on my SD card it would pop up saying "Install Blocked. For security. your phone i set to block installation of applications not obtained from Android Market." then I will have the option to cancel or go to settings, but when I go to settings it brings me under security menu and I do not see the option to check install from untrusted source. I know I had the option before when i was on Android 2.3.4, but I lost it after I did the upgrade. FYI I did not root or flash roms. the Android 2.3.4 i was on was stock came with the phone and 4.0.3 I downloaded and installed from HTC website. is this HTC's doing? or AT&T basically just screwed me?

thanks in advance for any type of suggestions.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquiett:
Under security there is a device administration at the bottom of the screen when you first open the security settings options and it had a check box labeled unknown sources
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kyosuke215:
all i see under security are

Screen Lock

Sim Card Lock

Set up SIM Card lock

Passwords

Make passwords vivible

Credential Storage

Trusted credentials

Install from storage

Clear credentials(Grayed out)

so it's safe to assume basically AT&T screwed me over
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
There have been a handful of other users who's option for this disappeared after doing the OTA. Running the RUU fixed them I do believe
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
i'm dumb and already posted this. Please delete
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kyosuke215:
so run the RUU from HTC again might fix it??
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
You are missing the Device Administrators section between Passwords and Credential Storage. See screen shot in earlier post. I may have this because I had set my phone for unknown sources before the upgrade. So, the setting may have carried over from the earlier settings.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Probably where I'd start - it will wipe data FYI. When you upgraded, did you upgrade OTA or did you run the RUU?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kyosuke215:
my phone was set on install untrusted source before the upgrade as well, but after the upgrade that option is gone. i'm trying to reinstall the RUU from HTC website again see if it will fix it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] djsizzle:
I had the same issue when I did the update this afternoon. All I had to do to fix it was to activate your phone’s USB Debugging mode by going to Settings > Applications > Development then check the box next to the USB Debugging option.

Turn off your smartphone then boot to bootloader mode by pressing the Volume Down key while holding the Power button.

Then perform a factory reset.

Lookout Hid Phone Administration

I had the exact same symptoms and I finally figured out that if I disabled "Advanced Protection" in Lookout app, it un hid my Phone Administration options under security and I could then put a check mark in the tick box. Are you running any "security" oriented apps that might have done the same thing to you?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jtsurfs:
In security the option you are looking for is unknown sources.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Danny 0311:
I've never used any other market to download apps, however that option has always been on my Vivid, even after the OTA upgrade to ICS. The Device administration, with the unchecked box, is right there in the security section.:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
Yeah, mine was similar. I had untrusted sources checked before the upgrade to ICS, now the option is gone. I can still use untrusted sources, though, so I am OK, at least for now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
I've just discovered as soon as I setup my work exchange account is when I lose the untrusted sources option. If I remove the account, it comes back. Here's the kicker - if unknown sources is checked before I setup the account, unknown sources are still allowed, even though the option is not there. If the box is not checked before setting up the account, I lose the option and the ability to install from unknown sources. Anyone else? Try..if you have an exchange account setup and have lost unknown sources, remove the account and see what happens
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
Brilliant! I verified this on mine by deleting my Exchange server account (hey, I'm not working there anyway...). Untrusted sources reappeared in my security settings. I then re-created the account and the untrusted sources disappeared.

It may have to do with the administrative things that are required for the Exchange account. I believe that is some sort of security setup for the server, but I suspect that is what hides the untrusted sources.

As you said, it hides it. If it was checked before, it still acts as though it was checked. If you remove the Exchange account, the option reappears and is checked. Therefore just hidden, not removed. That is good, because it means you can delete the account, check the untrusted sources, then recreate the account and everything works.

Oh, and by the way; I use Enhanced Email instead of the default Email app. In fact, I uninstalled the default Email app. Therefore, it is not the app causing the hiding, it is the security administration option that pops up after setting up the account.

Enhanced Email, by the way, handles Exchange accounts much better than the default Email, and is much easier to set things up. I got if free from Amazon on their App of the Day. Highly recommended.

Great find, thanks for that information!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vinceweis:
I also use Enhanced Email. It is a very good alternative. I could never get settings to stick with the stock email and exchange.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] adnankamal851:
No unknown sources available

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and I recently bought HTC Vivid unlocked phone from my friend. I noticed that I have the exact same problem where I am missing the unknown sources check box and unable to install any outside play store apps. I tried everything given here in this thread but nothing helped. I havent done running RUU again as I dont know what RUU is. Also I think my phone is not yet rooted. I have NQ Mobile Security app installed on my phone, & even after uninstalling this app nothing helped.

I've attached the screenshot of my phone Security Settings. I'd really appreciate if I can get help in this regard.

Thanks.

Install from Unknown Sources for HTC Vivid ICS

Thanks bilibox for your reply (as this post is really old I didnt think anyone would even reply to it).

But as I told you that my phone is not accepting any app or game installed outside from play store. That's really not good.

From your reply of "Settings > apps" ... I am sorry to say, I didnt understand what you are saying.

Thanks again and hope someone would help me out with this.

Take care.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] feenixtroy:
I am not familiar with that security app, but if it behaves similarly to Lookout mobile security, you MUST disable device administration in options (or advanced options) in the security app before uninstalling or you still won't see unknown sources option even after uninstalling.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] adnankamal851:
Install from Unknown Sources for HTC Vivid ICS

Hi, I am using NQ Mobile Security and I searched there's no option for device administration. If possible can you please look into it and give a solution for this. Its really important as I have few apps that I get only from outside Play Store. I am still not sure if the issue is with the security app or the AT&T brand because few people had complained about the upgrade to ICS from AT&T and the option for outside installation was removed.

Thanks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
go into settings then the app settings and it should be in there. i cant remember how sense looks like but i think its in there

It looks like youre on GB

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
OK... Your fancy security software is whats messing you up... It has hidden options you 'shouldn't' be playing with...

You might have to uninstall your security software to find your setting... But its there...

Install apps from unknown sources on HTC Vivid

Hi there, i've already uninstalled the security software as soon as i started reading this. so presently my phone doesnt have any security software but still I am facing this problem with the phone.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
You may need a factory reset then... Or an RUU if your not unlocked
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] adnankamal851:
Install apps from unknown sources on HTC Vivid ICS

I hope that should work. Also I would like to know how I can do factory reset.

My phone is unlocked i guess coz this phone is specifically from AT&T and I am using it in Saudi Arabia with another carrier.

But still can you please explain what is RUU and how to do it?

Thanks.

Is the bezel replaceable? If so, is there anywhere I could find a replacement bezel?

Thanks for the help in advanced.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
at the moment, only through Asus, this is possible. can you post a picture of the damage?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vsilva1993:
I can't take a picture until the weekend at least because I have nothing else to take a picture with (cellphone broke -__-.) But basically its on same side as the volume rocker towards the bottom edge when holding the tablet horizontally. I was walking down the concrete stairs in my residence hall when it slipped my grip and hit the edge of the very last stair. Luckily, no screen damage but I would really like to fix it. I guess ima just have to wait until parts are more easily found.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawke84:
I think the bezel has got things attached to it inside so it wont be as simple as just replacing.

Ive seen some other parts appearing on ebays slowly so you might get lucky and be able to find that soon... fingers crossed mate :)
[Nook Touch General] Cheswick:
I'm working to develop an application to use a rooted Nook STR as a handheld data input platform, which then sends the data to another Android device (tablet or phone; TBD) acting as a hub. From what I've been able to determine, the options for communications between the devices are:

Bluetooth

-Possibly available using a dongle, USB OTG cable, and enabling USB host mode as described here. This doesn't seem practical within the time/budget/scale of our application.

Wi-Fi

-Wi-Fi Direct would be ideal, but requires either Android 4.x or a patch/hack to enable it, which I haven't seen anyone working on (correct me if I'm wrong about this)

-Separate Wi-Fi hub to manage communications between the devices

Is there an alternative, implementable within reasonable time and cost, to facilitate device-to-device communications wirelessly and without additional separate hardware? My research hasn't turned up any solutions that aren't extremely awkward, but I'm relatively new to this, so hopefully someone has a better idea or knows of an obvious possibility that I'm missing.
[Nokia Lumia 800] apollo15rover:
This is weird..

According to Nokia, today and over the next four weeks they are rolling out..

1600.2487.8107.12070

http://conversations.nokia.com/2012...convowk13_0x0-na-facebook-g0-en-1todtmt3e4ae4

However, I cab'd this onto my phone about 3 weeks ago and there are a jillion posts about this version.

Could this be a newer build?
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
No, 12070 is 12070. We have it for about 3 weeks indeed, but that's because we ripped off the Singapore build. It was released there to test it out. Apparently it has got green light, and is now distributed globally.
[Nokia Lumia 800] surya467:
word dat new update is coming out next week with WIFI hotspots!!
[Nokia Lumia 800] _Madmatt:
Actually it isn't ;) Tethering will come with the WP Tango update. Tango will be released after the Nokia Lumia 610 hits the market. Will still take a couple of weeks...
[Nokia Lumia 800] voga06:
http://mynokiablog.com/2012/03/28/wifi-sharing-tethering-found-on-chinese-nokia-lumia-800/

[Nokia Lumia 800] alecksander:
Some days ago, there was a meeting between Nokia and H3G Italy, they said tethering will be released before the end of march...
[Nokia Lumia 800] jenesuispasbavard:
Yeah when I plugged in my 059J3G4 Lumia 800 in to the computer, Zune told me there's an update available. I'm guessing it's 1600.2487.8107.12070, but has that increased-volume-after-incoming-call bug that was introduced with the leaked Singapore 12070 been fixed?
[Nokia Lumia 800] microhaxo:
No its not... I cant play my favorite games because of this issue.. RANDOM VOLUME SPIKES to full blast isnt very discrete.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Feenik:
So there will be any changes against the one rlsed month ago?
[Nokia Lumia 800] whitealien:
Like we said, 12070 is 12070, BUT! When you check Nokia suite servers you can see small label in file name, like V1 to V5, so my guess is that there are different versions of 12070. Also I think those version numbers are more related to different carrier and country limitations, like not being able disable shutter sound or whatnot, but it will not affect list of fixes officially announced by Nokia.
[Nokia Lumia 800] mdsharpe:
No, they are rolling it out to everyone with that horrible volume bug.

I can barely believe it myself.
[Nokia Lumia 800] whitealien:
It takes about 2 month to wefoundNEWbugs-makingAfix-testing-rollingout4carriers-updatearrivesonzune

AND very often new updates fixes known bugs, but brings new to the table, like in this case.

NOKIA devs is already working (at least I hope) on a new patch, which we can expect in next 2 month.
[Nokia Lumia 800] apollo15rover:
Well even with the bug - which I have yet to experience - I still like the phone much better with 12070 than before. With heavy use and gaming I don't get a huge amount of life, but the battery has improved to the point where I don't have to be nervous or looking over my shoulder to see if the battery's about to conk out..

Also, I have been following a poster's advice on another thread I read awhile ago - when playing games or music with headphones in, simply turn the ringer to off but leave the volume wherever you want it.

Shouldn't have to be like that but at least there's a workaround available..
[Nokia Lumia 800] EroThraX:
The Lumia phones launched with Tango/Refresh in China, gotta wait for Microsoft to okay the international release.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
I'm a heavy user, too. Will stream audio via bluetooth for up to 3-4 hours in a day, depending on how long I spend on the bus and wandering around. At home, I love to play games (go DODONPACHI and Wordament!). I get a full waking day out of it. I'm sure that if I didn't do as much as I do, that the battery would last much longer. I'm pleased, nonetheless, since I decided yesterday that I don't like the 900 at all, due to the choice of glass over the display.
[Nokia Lumia 800] olumite:
^

They aren't using gorilla glass?
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
It's not the type of glass, it's the style. The 800 has that sexy, curved glass that keeps perfectly inline with the design aesthetic. It's such a smooth transition from glass to housing.

The 900 has a flat slab of glass whose bezel actually raises slightly up before dropping back toward the housing. It's flat and sharp edged. For me, it completely destroys the smooth, rounded intent of the design. I think the 900 was more of a rush job than the 800.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Itaintrite:
I agree. The 800 is overall a much better phone in terms of design. But boy, that LTE sure is enticing.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
As enticing as LTE can be, I can't go there. I have a $20 unlimited GPRS plan. It's essentially throttleproof and I just can't give it up. I'm fine with HSPA speeds. They're more than adequate for my needs.

[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
OK so, I was getting ready to flash to a new rom. I performed a factory reset, wiped cache, data, dalvic, etc...twice. But not paying attention, I accidentally selected reboot system before flashing a different rom...

...it rebooted normally, except as a fresh install. So by wiping the system, I'm really only clearing user data? How do I get rid of the rom entirely? Let's say the new rom I try to flash is considerably smaller with a lot less bloat. Wouldn't simply overwriting old rom still leave behind all of that extra data?

Is it possible to completely wipe the system partition and flash a new rom with cwm and have it boot?
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
new roms usually format the system partition - so nothing is left behind
[Kindle Fire General] eldarerathis:
In addition to what b63 said (which is correct), I think you're just getting hung up on some of the terminology. Doing a factory reset only wipes out userdata (data, cache, .android_secure) and doesn't touch your system partition. The ROM itself is still completely intact after a factory reset.

If you want to manually wipe your system partition you can do that, but you usually don't need to. In CWM go to "Mounts and Storage" and then select "Format /system" to do it. TWRP has an equivalent that I can't remember offhand, but it's something to the same effect (might be under "Advanced" or something). If you flash a ROM after you format /system manually it will boot fine, but obviously it won't boot if you format and reboot without installing a new ROM.
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
You're right, I just misspoke. The rom is only contained in the system folder, correct? I just couldn't understand why it would boot if I presumably wiped everything.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
yes - if you look into the zip file of a rom you'll see there is mainly the system folder - that is /system

some have a data folder also - that are additional preinstalled apps in /data/apps

if your question is answered please mark the subject of the topic (edit first post) with [Solved]
[Kindle Fire General] eldarerathis:
Yes, the ROM's applications and binaries all live on the system partition, which is why it has no trouble booting after a factory reset. The data partition is basically reserved for user settings, apps, and other files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sunshines4u:
Hey folks,

If you are on Rogers network with i717, please let me know what you think of the network performance.

Before switching to galaxy note, I used iphone 3g with Rogers. To be quite honest with you, I haven't noticed any speed improvement with my new device on LTE when I'm surfing the net with stock internet browser. I also tried Dolphin HD and Opera but loading times are pretty much the same with my previous experience with iphone on 3g network. (If not slower!)

I don't know what to make of it. Is Rogers LTE network not so good? Is it my Note having issues???

FYI- My area is for sure within Rogers LTE coverage. I get full bar with 4G on it...

Thanks for your input.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gotshoaib:
Did you change yor plan to LTE when you upgrade it.

If you changed, is it gonna be active next billing cycle or now. Call rogers and make sure.

Make sure Rogers LTE area again.

If yes then, check your apn settigs .

If yes then, in phone, settings. Wireless and network, mobile network, network mode, make sure its LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HAK Devil:
Loving the LTE speeds on my Note. Make sure you change your plan to support it. Only downside is the massive drain LTE is on your battery so I usually just keep it at HSPA unless I need the extra speed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ambrosios:
One thing I found out is that those Rogers csr at the store doesn't know what they are talking about. They would tell u that LTE and 4G is the same thing. Seems like they don't understand that 4g is hspa+ and LTE is different.

Just call them on the phone and ask them to make sure u are on an LTE plan.

My squealing sound only happens when I have an audio cable connected from my rezound to my car's headunit and when I have the USB cable connected to my phone. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using the official car charger or using a standard USB cable to charge via a USB port on my headunit. IIRC it happened on GB and it also happens on ICS :-/ I think it's actually the issue of the audio cable being crappy because I don't notice it while using headphones.

That is a seperate issue that is caused by your cars electrical system. I have both issues and I believe they are due to the same problem from different sources. Both are ground interference/feedback, one from the car, the other from the phone itself. This phone just seems to be really sensitive to interference. Thank god it goes away in both cases when the music/audio starts playing or it would have to be returned.
