[HTC Amaze 4G] Konowl:
I have a question - is this step necessarphoy to install the custom roms on a Telus phone? I was really hoping for something "easier" to get a custom ICS rom on my Telus phone instead of going through the wire and super cid tricks.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
Wind and mobilicity had released their ota update
[HTC Amaze 4G] Petronoid:
Yeah right, I was foolish to update to ICS and guess what, issues with camera and no longer able to connect my bluetooth headset. Called Mobilicity and HTC with no solution. Asked to wait for another update.......!

The only reason I did not want to root and install a custom ROM was the warranty.
[HTC Amaze 4G] JMeister234:
Warranties are frills. Would you buy a computer if they told you that you couldn't upgrade to the latest OS version?

"Sorry, if you upgrade past WinXP your computer's warranty won't be honored.... "

Besides, you can always take it back to stock, relock and then try your luck that they won't notice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Petronoid:
That's a good idea. I had DHD before and loved the ARHD on it. A question though, I haven't seen any stock ROMs for mobilicity. How would I return to stock if there is a need to send it back for warranties.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Shivammcool:
You would have to make a backup, or else...
[HTC Amaze 4G] garveygibbs:
GOOD BYE

Sorry to say but am leaving you guys..got a ONE X today...sold my amaze:crying:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Petronoid:
So, finally I voided my amaze's warranty :) rooted s-off on first try and flashed first Energy and then Mike's AR. Both are very good ROMs. The major gripe I had with stock ICS was the bluetooth range, which was way poorer than stock GB. Sadly, It's same with both these ROMs as well and couldn't find any solution as well. I guess I might have to revert back to GB. Is it possible to flash GB Rom with my current OTA ICS HBoot?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You're s-off, no restrictions to what you can flash. So your answer is, yes you can.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Petronoid:
Thanks Dark N. I was not sure when I did the s-off although it gave me the option of going modified hboot. I am still at stock 1.93.0002 and the latest radio. Should I keep it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
S-Off basically mounts your entire system as rewritable, therefore when you flash back to GB, it's gonna put everything back to the GB versions, no sure if it's a good idea to pull the files and use it alongside GB, might cause conflicts with the software. You can keep your original hboot, though it may be downgraded when you flash back to GB, sometimes it doesn't charge, every device varies, but I wouldn't advise you to mess with the radio, chances of a brick is kinda 50/50.
[HTC Amaze 4G] silverbullet1013:
I left mine as it is in 1.93 and everything is working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadrage:
Hi, I've got a noob question here: How do I properly remove Super User from my GSM Galaxy Nexus?

I used Wugs Root Toolkit and it applied some "permanent" superuser method. My question is, how can I go about deleting the files so that the APK is no longer on my phone? I don't mind rooting again if that's what is required to remove it.

I searched around and didn't find an answer--that said if this has already been answered somewhere before I apologize--maybe I just all around fail! I saw some posts that related to the Hero but yeah... pretty sure it doesn't apply to the GNex.

Thanks! Oh, and don't ask me why I want to do this, yeah yeah, I know I must be out of my mind. A follow-up question though, would be that if I decide to root again after this, is there a method of pushing superuser where it will be removed whenever the stock ROM is updated?

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mild7intl:
Just use root explorer to delete it from system/ app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadrage:
I was under the impression that, that would not completely work? Isn't there another file somewhere that has to be removed as well? Thanks for the response!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
This is another example of the pitfalls of trying to take shortcuts by using toolkits. Toolkits are fine to save time for those that understand what the toolkit is doing, but if you don't have that knowledege base, yo really should do things manually first, in order to learn. (In school, they don't let you use a calculator until you can add/sub/mult/div for a reason).

Take a look at this post, specifially method 2. See if you can figure out what those commands are actually doing.

I will help you out: you are essentially mounting the system partition as read-write, copying two files to the system, changing permission on the system, and then mounting the system as read-only.

So, in order to remove root, you need to mount the system as read-write, remove those two files (command is rm) and mount the system as read-only. [EDIT: depending on where the toolkit you used place su, it could be somewhere else than /system/bin, like /system/xbin or /system/sbin -- yet another reason not to use toolkits...]

Toolkits don't teach you that.

And for you follow-up question, the answer is no (if you are talking about updates). If you update using an OTA update, the update does not delete those two files, but it does change the permissions on them to disable root access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadrage:
Thanks Efrant! I'll try this out. Yeah, being lazy definitely didn't help me here :)

I used to flash my Vibrant all the time, but I got the Nexus so that hopefully I wouldn't need anything besides stock (for which I love the experience), so I'm just trying to stay as pure as possible :)

Thanks again, appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Give it a shot, and if you are having issues, post here and I'll guide you through it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadrage:
Appreciate it! I'll be fiddling around with it either tomorrow or the next day--pretty slammed this week.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodnerb:
Let me know

shadrage, let me know what you figure out, and how you went about it, I'm stuck trying to figure out the same thing. If I figure it out, I'll give you instructions here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It's very simple. If you still have root, just use root explorer and delete two files:

1) /system/app/Superuser.apk

2) the second file is su, and it could be in one of three places, depending on how you rooted:

/system/bin/su OR

/system/sbin/su OR

/system/xbin/su

That's it.

If you do not have root, go to the dev section and find an insecure boot image for the version of Android that you are running, download it, rename it to boot.img (if it isn't already), and place it in the same directory on your PC as you fastboot.exe and adb.exe files. Then boot into fastboot mode, plug your phone into your PC and type the following:

fastboot boot boot.img (wait for the device to boot)

adb remount

adb shell

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

rm /system/bin/su

rm /system/sbin/su

rm /system/xbin/su

Done.

Now if you do not have root, and your bootloader is locked (and you are running 4.0.4), then you are out of luck. You will need to unlock your bootloader (which will wipe your data), and do the second method above/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodnerb:
Thanks

Thanks Efrant.

I'm trying to learn the ins and outs of adb, and it confuses me to no end. I'm slowing remembering playing with my dad's DOS computer when I was a kid, so command prompt and shell type work is coming back, but not easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simba501:
Exactly!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pepemosca:
And how to only remove Superuser data?

I mean, I want Superuser to ask me again if I grant or not superuser-permision.

I need this because I have in Superuser 5 times Titanium Backup.

All has the same id but only one has the Titanium Backup icon and the other doesn't.

And if I try deleting the app from the list... the app just go to "Denied" but still there.

So, I want to delete the whole data so I get a clean list of apps.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
settings >> apps >> all apps >> super user

clear cache, clear data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pepemosca:
Thanks man! I cannot believe I did not try that before.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] USA Prime Credit Peggy:
Having the same issue (I'm about to return the phone for a replacement so I want Superuser gone).

Can you maybe possibly kindly point me toward a good boot version of the file you're talking about? I'm running a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and I'm on version 4.0.4 Build IMM76K.

I found this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631796 ...but I'm unsure what I should be downloading, renaming and throwing into my fastboot folder.

I understand I'll have to unlock the bootloader, but I'm going to wipe anyway since I'm sending it back. Any help with that part would be appreciated too.

Sorry if this is an unauthorized thread resurrection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Follow the instructions in this thread. It will take you back to stock, and there are instructions on re-locking the bootloader as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Silversun634:
Had to restock my Nexus as well. but my USB didnt work so I decided to take my losses and just return it, rooted with Superuser.

I had spend 2 days trying to restock it. and then this Tech Guy from my Carrier Tells me...

O you have rooted your Phone. Well that might be a problem with the insurance... unless you got a Nexus Device.

I was like what do you mean.

wel with all nexus devices you are allowed to root your phone.

So I think this is the best Solution there is . just take it back and save yourself some time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] QuitterKiller:
this really works!!!!

1. after you have or have not unrooted, search up superuser on playstore

2. click uninstall, if it says uninstalling........, ignore that and go to home page

3. go to folder and delete cwm-root thingy(the zip file you copied to your folder when you rooted) and delete that(seriously, thats important)

4. make sure you have the root remover file in your external sd card

5. turn off device, reboot by holding power and down/left

6. select install zip from sd card and install the root remover file

7. reboot and superuser should be gone lol:D

keep in mind that i did this on my galaxy tab 2 10.1 so it will definitely work on that

should work with any device

hope this helped

lol:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
wow, old thread...

I have use root explorer to delete the Superuser.apk and system/bin/su

but once i restart my device, those two thing happen again and again.

[Nokia Lumia 800] andy1969:
has any 1 else had this problem with screen turning black on a call on the lumia 800

i have to turn phone of to end call.

i have spoken to nokia uk who said the new update fixed this so when he asked for my version and told him it was 12070 he seemed to be shocked as this update was supposed to fix this problem.

he told me to reset phone and its still not fixed problem so he told me send phone to nokia for repair or replacement, this is a bit of a hassle as i need my phone for work is there anything i can do to fix it myself or does the phone have to go back to nokia.
[Nokia Lumia 800] breakneck001:
I'm too having this issue. Any solution guys?
[Nokia Lumia 800] andy1969:
fix from nokia worked from me

i just spoke to nokia again and spoke to a tech help

he told me take my screen protector of the phone and it will fix the problem as the protector is blocking the proximity sensor.

i was scepticle at first so i thought ok ill try it not going to harm

and it fixed the issue the phone no longer turns black on calls and is working fine.

try it it may fix the problem.

but its also a bit stupid u cant put a screen protector on phone if it causes this problem but also told me to not cover top right hand corner of phone if applying another that is were the scensor is located its bloody stupid if u ask me nokia need to get this sorted
[Nokia Lumia 800] breakneck001:
I shall try that. Kinda funny solution though :P

Thanks for sharing. :)
[Nokia Lumia 800] rohitsingh05:
Its not nokia's fault. If you cover the proximity sensor in any phone, you are going to have this issue. I'm not sure what screen guard you are using, generally device specific screen guards are shaped keeping in mind the location of the proximity sensor.
[Nokia Lumia 800] shardnet:
look at the phone at an angle in good light. You'll be able to to see the proximity sensor then.

Also after you apple the screenguard, run the nokia diagnostic tools. There's a proximity tester as well.

Overal seems like a bad screenguard problem than a problem with the phone. The proximity sensor is in a good place.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mrsaccess:
Hello, I read this forum daily but not participate very often.

Two days ago I uninstalled facebook because with the latest update its camera process would always stay open in the background, no matter what I did.

Since then my Galaxy R transformed, it is like I got a new phone, there is no UI lag, all aplications' effects work perfectly and fast, apps open instantly etc. :eek:

I was really surprised by the difference so I thought to share it with you.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
That's Facebook for you , stays in the background so you can receive notifications from them .

You can also try force app close with Settings > Development > Stop app via long-press . Tick that and you can now close any app just by holding the Back button .

The iPad 2. Revolutionary. (jk)

No I don't care if you're anti-Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mrsaccess:
I had completely turned off notifications and synchronization for the facebook app. Most task managers showed it as closed, yet I could see from time to time that it used system resources through BetterBatteryStats.

The thing is that it didn't just use memory, it made any non OpenGL animation on my phone slow.

Opening the drawer of GoLauncher? Slow as hell. Opening the weather of beautiful widgets? Slow as hell. Browsing photos through QuickPic gallery? Slow as hell compared to the stock gallery.

In the stock camera app, whenever I pressed a setting, the transparent menu with the available options would take 3 or more seconds to appear.

Since I uninstalled the Facebook app all these lags are completely gone.

I haven't seen a difference in battery though. It is just like facebook was keeping a hardware resource for itself, not letting other apps use it.

PS. The setting about closing apps with long press isn't available on the stock ROM. I think only CM has it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ck.chunkeat:
I wanted to post at arconium thread to ask but xda wont let me,so i thought i might as well just post it here.

I'm using arconium 2.1a with stock kernel at the moment.

And i came across a few problems,not sure whether if its ICS related or arconium related.

1st:I cant seem to have any contacts at the contact bar.BUT i can see my friends name under the call log bar as well as in the sms sender,i can see who sent sms to me,their name is displayed with their phone number.(I imported my contacts using the backup on my sd card).

2nd:I enabled touch sounds under settings>sounds.and its suppose to have a sound whenver i touch the screen,but the problem is i cant seem to control the volume of the sound.Its too loud in my opinion,is it possible to control the sound?

3rd:I enabled screen lock sound but the sound is too squeeky..I notice this during gingerbread too,and i thought my phone is faulty or is this the default sound?Anyway,before i come to arconium,i was using cm9 and i love that screen lock sound.Is there anyway to change the screen lock sound?

Last but not least,hope somebody will be able to help me and forgive me for my blocks of text.:)
[HTC One X] spongmonkey:
Hi all. I've got a minor but very annoying issue that I hope someone can help me with.

When I open the day view on calendar, it initially says "Tue, 24/04/12" or whatever the day/date happens to be. As soon as I move to another day it immediately drops the day of the week thus showing just "25/04/12" and when I move back to the previous day that was showing the day of the week, it's gone there too.

Is there a way to get it to always show the day and date on every day?

Hope that sorta makes sense!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] molesarecoming:
im looking for a developer with some android background who could help to implement some changes regarding per app dpi as explained here.

what this will do is break free what many have come to call "tablet mode" but this time without blowing the phone to bits. we could have the best of both worlds: tablet UI, tablet apps (gapps, settings, youtube, everything tablet HD & related) and normal apps running in their default layouts. the problem is that google created a hole between tiny phones from 2005 and big tablets. all our phones fall in it. it makes no sense that a nexus for instance runs in 1-column layout, its ridiculous actually for such a huge screen. tablet mode, as it is right now, helps, but it forces non-tablet apps into tiny layouts.

now we've had some success with our manual mod and even some dev's jumped in to adapt their apps, nova for instance is now tablet mode ready. but we just need to dig further. without per app dpi this will only be interesting for a small audience. with the setting in check it will probablby blow over and re-define ICS as we know it.

i managed to compile cm9 and im learning how to deal with it but its so much. a simple grep for stuff takes like an hour because its gigabytes of code. it grows way over my head right now. i think i've found A. the position where the treshold for the tablet switch is implemented which could be lowered and B. how to implement individual DPI but there's stuff missing. anyone who's interested to help or lead us in this, please contact me.

ps. what we'll get will look like this:

with that setting it could be like that on all phones, not just high density ones like nexus.

thanks!

I try viber but the voice arrived with a delay of 4 5 seconds, it is so difficult to use it to phone. I use it on 3G Italian network, tim.

Skype has less delay.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Viber Team:
Sometimes 3G reception could be low, and this is something we cannot control. Naturally this affects Viber's call quality and results in disruptions and broken sound.

We are continuously trying to improve our handling of 3G, so you can expect better performance as newer versions of Viber are released.

Please note that having full 3G reception doesn't mean your internet's bandwidth is at the maximum expected. When you see a "full reception bar", it merely means that physically, your phone is covered with the cellular signal.

When it comes to the bandwidth itself, your connection could still be slow due to various different reasons, such as being in an area with many other users from the same provider, thus congesting the network.

Meanwhile, WiFi- WiFi calls on Viber sound generally clear and are free of such disruptions.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] kmarci:
In a "brave new world" ;) everywhere is a free wifi signal. But we live in the real world... But 15 years ago I could only dream about limitless internet connection and didn't even know what wifi is.

I hope you guys, can find out, how to improve Viber's 3g handling, but altough I didn't experience really annoying problems. :)

So thank you, and keep up good work! :D

(And hope that the app will stay free... ;))
