[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenif1983:
I just bought a Xperia Arc S from Phones4U (UK).

I am an orange PAYG user, I paid for a orange phone.

The box I recieved had no orange branding, the phone has no orange branding and the phone has no orange apps installed.

Normally with orange phones - everything is branded and there are a number of really ugly orange apps.

I don't have any other sims to check BUT- is my phone sim-free?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatit1011:
go into the phone app and type *#*#service#*#* then a menu should come up, pick service info then sim lock if all of the numbers say 0 then Im pretty sure its unlocked
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenif1983:
Whilst unlocking my bootloader I got the service info with them all 0.

Nice.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordcookies:
Mine has all zeros, but Network says : Unlimited.

Does that mean that i am carrier unlocked or what? :p

Edit: Just checked with another carrier sim, and no, i still have to insert the sim unlock code xD

So how did you get an sim/nck unlocked SE XAS and lordcookies didn't???...

I have a basic understanding of flashing and rooting but I'm stuck on one thing. I'm about to flash Glorious Overdose V2 and I noticed it said the modem version is KJ2 and I have KD1 on my phone. Now would I have to flash the modem by itself first? Or when I flash the rom will everything change over by itself? Anyone's help is greatly appreciated. Lol and this may sound funny but I also have a hard time getting into recovery mode. I do the button method however it never works for me. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you for your time
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
Flash the rom and it will switch it to kj2. And if you struggle with the button method, download quickboot from the play store and you can just hit recovery from there and it will boot you into recovery.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cartisdm:
Someone gave me their Galaxy Tab yesterday and said, "Here. If you can fix it, it's yours" The only background I have is one day it charged and turned on like normal, then it just stopped.

I've already done all the known fixes such as holding the power and volume buttons for a REALLY long time in all the known configurations. No luck. I took it apart and there's no signs of physical damage. I only have a wall charger so I don't know if my PC will detect it or not.

Is it possible to get a replacement from Samsung? I have no idea what warranty is on it (I'm sure none) but I know there are often still ways of getting replacement stuff from companies. Any suggestions? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] thecoach1999:
I was in the same situation and I tried the following.

Plug Tab into the USB port on your computer, and make sure your have the Samsung drivers installed.

Hold power button for 30 seconds and release.

Now hold down the power button and vol down button for 30 secs and release.

Now hold the power button again and this should put you into fastboot.

Hit vol down then vol up. If tab is rooted, it should go into clockwork, if not, it will take you into Samsung restore.

Select factory reset.

Once completed, the tab should power up.

It took me about 4 tried to get this to work so I can't guarantee:o it will work for you, but just offering my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cartisdm:
Thanks! I will try that. I don't have a USB cord for this Tab. It appears to only have a wall adapter. Do you know where I can track one down easily?

EDIT: I'll just order one via Amazon and try this out once it arrives
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cartisdm:

hey, I could use some help.

im theming currently, but dunno how to set permissions in an updater-script for my modded touchwiz.

the command should be :

set_perm(uid, gid, mode, "pathtofile");

so I made it:

set_perm(uid, gid, mode, "/system/app/touchwiz30launcher.apk");

but where do UIT,GID,MODE stand for?

the permissions should be rw - r - r

[HTC One X] NBB823151:
Having come from a Samsung S2 with the MicroSD card, I am a little concerned that with the HTC One X having internal Phone storage It may get wiped when installing a full wipe custom Rom. The manual says if you factory set it gives you the option of wiping the phone storage, I have no idea if that will happen if you install a custom Rom and perform a full wipe.

Anyone know for a fact please

I've tried to compile a bootanimation.zip it has 180+ image in it. I edited the bootanimation that i have downloaded. But it didn't work. It just gone black screen instead. And about the desc.txt with it. It contains:

480 800 24

Some are 480 800 15.

Can the image files with part 0 and part 1 be 160~180 images? And what should i change for the desc.txt? Thanks in advance. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Modulüs:
Have u only written 480 800 24???

Coz it must be something :-

480 800 24p 1 0 part0 p 1 0 part 1

where the first two numbers are resolutions, next is fps, p means change line, 1 means how many tyms to play ( 1 means 1 time and 0 means infinity) , the next 0 means after how mych tym to play it again, and p again, and so on

Hi guys,

I just found that the following combination of keys works also in our HTC One X:

It brings up an app for testing few things of the phone (audio, sensors, vibrations, backlight, buttons, etc). By pressing "More" there's also a battery test, but I didn't want to start it because it takes one hour.

I don't know why but my phone just cut off the call even incoming or outgoing after 15s sometimes about 46s.

I try not to touch the phone when I call but it still cut off like that!!!

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
Man I though people searching for ringtones was a thing of the past..:) but anyway a couple of simple options is get the zedge app from the market, or a ringtone maker app from the market, I have saw a few free ones. With zedge your options are endless, and with ringtone maker you can take a clip of any song you want...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmanmostafa:

I had Cyanmobile Initial A on my galaxy mini. I restored Cyanogenmod7 RC 5.7 using CWM restore.

After that, my mobile never had signal.

When I dial a number, it says ' No mobile Network available ':confused:

Signal strength is zero on status bar. With a x i.e. no signal

2. I then did a clean install/ flash of CM7 RC 5.7 still same problem.

3. I also did system format through CWM, still same problem.

4. I then flashed 2.3.4 Russian stock ROM using ODIN, coz it has some MODEM file when flashing through ODIN. Still same problem.

When I try to turn on FLIGHT mode, it gets stuck there, i.e. the option is faded always ( like its trying to go to flight mode) and after sometime( may be screen off, ) the fade goes away.

Call Settings in Stock 2.3.4 is faded, i.e. cannot select it ( like what happens when phone is actually in flight mode, but in my case even flight mode is unchecked in settings, but when I long press power button, I see Flight mode is ON, but it is faded option.)

I stock 2.3.4, my phone is always in flight mode, status bar shows airplane icon, but when I long press power button it displays flight mode is off HELP:confused:

I have attached screenshots for you to see. See Plane icon on status bar, but power menu says flight mode is off.:confused:

What do I do? Please HELP me to solve this problem.:confused:

Solved! Sim was damaged!

I found that sim card is damaged.

I suspect that all the process of restore and flashing did some damage to my sim.

And does anyone in XDA know how to restore a bad sim card. Or I just buy a new sim. And I started a new thread because no other related thread answered such question. So I guess restore and flash may have a potential to damage sim card.

Anyways I'm keeping this thread alive for other people who may have similar trouble. Or moderators may delete this thread if they wish.

Thanks for anyone who answers to this post.

New twist! My sim is locked!!!

Thanks all for posting on this thread.

Today I put back my old sim in galaxy mini, then I went inside Location & Security > Set up Sim lock.:confused: I found that sim lock was on ( checked ). I never set up a sim lock, and my old sim was never locked. but now its locked.:confused:

I live in India, and I have a BSNL sim. I don't know sim unlock/ lock code, I had tried 0000, 1111, etc, but couldn't unlock.

I think, if I'm able to unlock the sim( may be PUK, or by lock code), then maybe my sim somes back as normal.

May be this explains that flashing process may have locked my sim.:confused:

I put the same sim in sonyericsson w200, it screen stuck at saying 'Insert Sim'. But Galaxy mini, shows I'm in Flight mode.

PUK help? Not working.

I got PUK from BSNL carrier.

I put that sim in and in dialer dial this:

But it does not work. It says

Connection problem or invalid MMI code:confused:

See screenshot.

So PUK does not work.:confused:.

What is MMI code and how to get a valid MMI code?

Please suggest some help.

Solved!!!

My sim was locked. maybe Cyanmobile Initial A locked it, I changed the sim, (PUK wasn't working), now everythings fine.

[HTC Sensation] Gav456:
I just found out why this is... It only seems to happen with face unlock... I reckon it'll have something to do with the fact that the camera app bypasses the security for faster shooting, but either something is wrong with the face unlock coding, the camera is just trying to do 2 things at once, but either way, I'd like to see HTC offer a fix as I like face unlock and Always have really important stuff I have to photograph instantly =P
