[Android General] Lokifish Marz:
There are thousands of complaints made of the past couple years about old devices/apps showing in Market/Play with nothing more than "we're looking into it" response. Being one of those people I contacted Goggle about this and continued to do so until I received something other than the typical run around. After multiple emails back and forth between myself and Google about old devices (or in my case, the same device multiple times) and unwanted/removed/no longer available apps listed in Market/Play accounts, I have finally received a solution but it's not what you think. Google's solution;

"If you create a new GMail account, you will have a clean record of

apps. You could also switch to another phone (outside of the Android

ecosystem)."

So create a new account and repurchase your apps or leave Android. Umm...thanks?

Emails and support forum posts accomplish nothing to resolve this, submitting this to portal may make some progress towards a solution.
[Android General] MikeyMike01:
I'll choose the latter option. Maybe if enough people do, Google will make at least some attempt at fixing their product.

[Android General] Lokifish Marz:
If this does make portal and spreads to the other sites with no resolution from Google then that may be the only option left.

The excuse that there's no way to purge/clean the DB is laughable at best. If there was no way to do so then purchased apps released by dev's who's accounts have been closed would not have auth fail issues. This happens because the app/dev DB has been removed/purged from the system. This means the functions to maintain the DB are already in place.

I can see one reason they don't want to enable this feature. But it's not like they are admitting this is a reason.

If you can delete devices and someone compromises your gmail account they can delete your device.

I'd say a viable solution would be to be able to delete a device if it's been inactive for >6 months

And at least one of my first phones has fallen off the list, but that was a long time ago.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
So, i've seen a few pics of the dongle both assembled and disassembled... my question: if i disassemble my dongle and plug it into my dock can i use it? Physically it looks like it would fit, im just wondering if it will function... any ideas?

Edit:

To avoid confusion, i want to go [Prime] -> [Dock] -> [GPS]

The dock has both a male AND female connection.

Aparently it does not function as of yet, might be software? What pins are being used on the gps and what pins get passed through on the dock? If were lucky its just a software thing, or maybe it requires some pins to get passed to the dock connector.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
We had the first person who opened up said it didn't work when he plugged it into the dock. The pin layout might be different or could be a software thing. If a software issues, developers here should be able to modify the file path or whatever that the GPS software in prime looks at. Instead of looking for dongle at the prime 40pin connector, maybe it could be rerouted to the dock 40pin connector. Or software change that'll detect either and link it up accordingly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mubble:
Plug it in to your keyboard dock you mean?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>i disassemble my dongle and plug it into my dock can i use it?

Mating connectors use the male-female concept. Tablet plugs into dock, so one is male, the other is female. Dongle plugs into tab, so it is opposite gender of tab, and same gender as dock. Ergo, dongle can't plug into dock, coz like-gendered connectors can't mate.

---------- Post added at 02:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

BTW, for those who want to mod toys at the chip level, might as well get well acquainted with your soldering iron. Little bitties in dongle means SMT fun. Contrary to popular belief, you can do SMT stuff w/o fancy tools. A vid primer, then:

[YOUTUBE]3NN7UGWYmBY[/YOUTUBE]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
But doesn't the dock also have another 40pin female connector on the side of it? This is how it gets charged with the prime power adapter that has 40pin male adapter on the end. Plus someone who opened it up already said they plugged it into the dock but it wouldn't work.

I know what you saying about like gender adapters not being able to mate but I believe the dock has a male adapter, to go into the prime for dock connection, and another female adapter on it so it can be charged at the same time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
demandarin is correct, the dock does in fact have both a male connection to connect to the prime and a female connection which the power adapter connects to.

Guess i would have to look into if the dock passes through all the pins or just a select few, however data at least should work, i connect my computer to my prime through the dock all the time to transfer files (instead of undocking the prime and connecting that way)

Edited the first post to include information thus far.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>But doesn't the dock also have another 40pin female connector on the side of it? This is how it gets charged with the prime power adapter that has 40pin male adapter on the end.

If the port is only used for charging, there'd be no data lines going to it. There's no reason to daisy-chain the charging connector to the docking connector. If you want to do that, then you'd have to figure out the pin-out. Even then, the odds of something going poof is still pretty good. This ventures into the territory of "if you have to ask, then the answer is no." It's not a good idea.

If you want working GPS and working dock at same time, ditch the dongle and go with active GPS antenna mod for the built-in GPS. It's simpler and more straightforward. If you're good, you may be able to have an inset port for the MCX connector and have nothing sticking out. Not sure if there's enough space to do that, though, so you may have a slight nub sticking out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lolento:
Also, the fact that you can't turn off the dongle is another issue with a Daisy chain solution

Are you talking about the beer can mod with wire or did I miss a thread along the way.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
>Are you talking about the beer can mod with wire or did I miss a thread along the way.

I'm talking about an aftermarket GPS antenna like these below. You'll need to mount a SMA or preferably a smaller MCX port, then jerry-rig some power for the "active" antenna (because GPS signal is weak, it needs an amp to compensate for signal loss, which needs power). Come to think of it, since cable length isn't excessive, you can try a passive ant and see what happens. The key is to get the antenna element outside of the metal case, and replacing the crappy internal PFA one. The connector is intended for quick-on/off use.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwazytazz:
The port isn't just used for charging on the dock. I can plug the USB to the dock with my tablet attached and can transfer data fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
No but the 40 pin on the dock may well just be used for charging .. data may be connected to the SD/USB sub board

^^^ What he said.

You'll need to do that if your phone is running 2.3.4. I know it looks complicated, but it's not as bad as it appears. I did only the first part and was able to use root apps, even flashed a few custom ROM's. Later, as I got more comfortable with stuff, I downgraded and got s-off. The guide is very good, but unfortunately a guide is only as good as your reading of it. Read it very carefully and follow it even more carefully.

The only problem I had when I rooted mine (it came with 2.3.4) was that unrevoked doesn't work right when Windows is running inside Virtualbox. I had to dig out a computer with a native Windows installation to get it to work.

Hi guys

For some reason I can no longer send SMS, I have gone into *#*#4636#*#* in the past and may have stuffed up some settings, but im just not sure...im using liquidsmooth 1.25 so I could've messed something up whilst customizing here and there...any help is much appreciated

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leonironchef:
Okay, did a bit of research, finally everything is fixed...found this thread really helpful..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412261

Essentially, there is an ICS bug such that if you go into the hidden menu, your SMS carrier number is wiped...

To fix, one needs to obtain your telco's SMSC however this cannot be entered as a normal number, rather you need to go here

http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode

to convert it into a Hex number, is just simply the way SMS is transmitted...so what you do is at that site enter your SMSC in the bottom left hand corner including the + sign if your telco uses it, don't worry about the receiver or message, hit convert, grab the first 16 characters, note it may contain letters this is okay, but only take the first 16. You can backsolve and check if you did it correctly by using the first converter to reconvert back...

Go back into the hidden menu...type it in the SMSC, hit update, then refresh...wait a few seconds, close the prompt, check by sending an SMS again...it should work :)

Btw, any third party SMS apps also work as long it let's you manually enter a SMSC like GoSMS

Dunno why we don't have this option in our SMS stock app

[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
I am sure there is a list somewhere.

couldn't tell you off the top of my head though. I think all of sprints bloatware/shyte is uninstallable. there are certain things you need in order for you to get access to their networds and crap, or make quick calls to customer service....

but there are stripped ROMs on this forum that have all of it removed, and they run fine.

just go to your /system/app directory with root ex, mount as r/w, multi select, select all, hit delete...

I'm kidding... don't do that. ever. bad things will happen... you need those apps for your ROM to function.
[HTC EVO 3D] Cyber Akuma:
Thats what I thought at first too, but I noticed that I have manual updates available for a bunch of junk on my phone like Blockbuster, Sprint TV, Nascar, etc that I could REALLY use the space they are taking up, but have no uninstall option.

Before everyone starts pointing me to the router - its not the router. I was able to connect to my router both at home and at work, but because I was having some other issues, I had to do a factory reset.

Now, I cannot connect to the wifi. I keep getting the message "Obtaining IP address ..." and nothing changes. I have searched high and low for a solution for this problem but I cant seem to get anywhere.

I am running Froyo stock, but before I did a factory reset, I rooted my phone with the SuperOneClick application. Now, I still have the Super User app after factory reset.

So - to reiterate - I have run the factory reset and I am currently have Froyo on my Captivate. However, once I did that, I am no longer able to connect to the internet.

Hi everyone, I this problem has been driving me nuts. I looked for similar issues, but non exactly like the one i have.

Since about a week ago, My photon keeps dropping the signal meter to 1 bar or occasionally 2. If I toggle to 3G from 4G i get more bars for a little while.

The problem seems more prominent when connected to 4G. If I make a call with 1 bar, as soon as I hit the CALL button I get more bars on the meter. When I hit the END button, it goes down to 1 bar instantly. This is always repeatable and sometimes backwards. on the rare occasion that the phone is showing 3+ bars, If i make a call, it will drop a bit, then when i end it, it will instantly rise back up.

The signal in dbm ranges from -95 to -85 inside my house according to an app and the stock android "About" menu. Surprisingly If i watch the dBm in real time, I notice that a stronger dBm, most always results in my signal meter(bars) dropping to 1.

The phone is fully stock, running 198_6. I have tried to SBF and no dice, still the same.

Sprint says there is no problem in my area and that my area should have close to full bars or a great signal. I get 3/3 for 4g inside my house too.

Im a noob at this, If anyone knows a solution please give a shout.

thanks!
