[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkubus77:
Hi&thanks for the reply!

Well... it's cm9-special, ain't it...

This was also one of my first thoughts. But (see first post):

1.) The phone itself works fine... There MUST be the IMEI, just the apps can't read it (i CAN make calls and data connections)

2.) Whitout installing the kernel-zip the IMEI can be read...

Well - it seams to...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackergnome:
No it doesnt actually I think froyo kernel zip is from -179 and is same for all Motorola froyo rooms!!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icore7:
I never meet the situation.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inkubus77:
After going back to stock rom (and deleting / wiping everything that smelled like cm) and installing cm9 (same procedure as before, obviously) the problem persisted.

Frustratedly repeating these staps a couple of times (don't ask me how often & why and with which aim!) it finally worked. Don't ask me what makes the differnce - it just and simply finally works.

Anyway what I don't understand: How the hell can I make calls and connect to gprs/umts while the phone doesn't have an IMEI -:confused:

And if there was (and I suppose there was) one - why did the phone refuse to show it or to pass it to the apps...

Thanx a lot and praise the developers (NO irony here!!!) !

[General Questions and Answers] mobileN00b:
I recently bought Android phone HTC ONE V and i am suprised how business work around Anroid OS + apps. I see some major problems :

1) Is there any trusted authority which inform users that application is 'safe' ? (see article : android-malware-spreads-via-website-injection-campaigns) Malware apps are even on Google Play market. I suppose that solution for this problem is to download just from e.g. TOP 10 apps from each category and just *hope* and *believe* that there is no malware contained just because these apps are soo much popular.

2) How to control permissions/app starts/firewall is there any good app for that ? I have unrooted phone. (I cant have Cyanogenmod 7/9 installed on my HTC One V because it was not ported yet) What would you recommend to me ? I see a lot of recommendations for "LBE Privacy Guard" app but then i found thread here on xda forum that this application is maybe suspicious/dangerous etc... I just want to have full control over my phone, why is that choice so difficult ?

List of apps, often recommened by 'The Internet', are these ok or not ? :

Wifi Protector

Droidwall

WhisperCore

WhisperMonitor

SSH Tunnel

Titanium Backup

ROM Manager

Tasker

Perfect App Protector Pro

This exactly describes my situation, many choices -> i expect to get the best from the Android :

The opportunity costs associated with a decision and the time and effort that go into making it are "fixed costs" that we "pay" up front, and those costs then get "amortized" over the life of the decision. The more we invest in a decision, the more satisfaction we expect to realize from our investment. If the decision provides substantial satisfaction for a long time after it is made, the costs of making it recede into insignificance. But if the decision provides pleasure for only a short time, those costs loom large. Spending four months deciding what stereo to buy is not so bad if you really enjoy that stereo for 15 years. But if you are excited by it for six months and then adapt, you may feel like a fool for having put in all that effort.

Dont you feel the same about these Android 'choices' sometimes ?

Tell Me What Kind Of Apps You Are Looking For And I'll Give you Some Recommendations
[General Questions and Answers] cassenn1:
From the list of apps you have provided I can see that all of them are trusted and reliable.. so go ahead..
[General Questions and Answers] :
1. Well google aded some security in market so before they upload app they check if it is malware-free. But for more security you can download antivirus

(I RECOMMEND AVAST!)

2. For managing apps permisions im using LBE Privacy Guard is the top app for permisions and firewall managment.

Titanium Backup, Tasker-- awesome apps 100% excelent!

Have a nice day :)
[General Questions and Answers] matt4321:
+1 for avast! excellent at keeping viruses out, keeping data secure, doesn't slow the phone down and has an awesome anti-theft feature which if you're rooted is even better!
[General Questions and Answers] IceTe:
Did anyones avast actually find anything that is not a false positive?

Just wondering if this is really necessary...
[General Questions and Answers] onebornoflight:
My avast detected the one click root and androot files on my sd card as malware, which I mean they could be lol but the process of identifying them as false positives was a pain. Other than that... Avast is amazing.
[General Questions and Answers] :
Yes, sometimes it does its an antivirus so... he thinks that third-party apps are suspicious, but there is nothing to worry about when it comes to root.
[General Questions and Answers] newbie1908:
antivirus is no good for performance :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] rilorolo:
Antivirus overrated

Antivirus is and will never be any good for performance. You have to decide what risk you are willing to take. With good common sense, you can filter out the obvious threats. Review apps permissions and (try to) install only apps you and the community trust. If you don't trust it, ask around in this forum :D

Also - obviously - don't visit suspicious sites, click on links in emails and never download programs you don't know. :rolleyes:

Personally, i do not use virus protection. I do use DroidWall and LBE Privacy guard for a few apps, but more for data and performance issues.

But i also regularly whipe my phone to install new ROM's and let my (trusted) apps freshly reinstall and restore only game user data. :cool:
[General Questions and Answers] koneX:
+1 here. I think that there is no need to use an Antivirus. Just have a look on the permissions when installing an app and you will be OK.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadka:
Hi guys .. I want to try out the cyanogenmod 7.1 stable ROM on my Desire Z, but I want to still use the Virtuous Unity V9 kernel, which I'm using right now ... I dont know if both of these will be compatible with each other or not ..

I want to continue to use Virtuous Unity V9 as it supports the 2-way call recording which I need ..
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Kernels work very specifically. Unless it says it can, I doubt it will. Be careful because your phone can be messed up by flashing the wrong kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadka:
Okay ... so then how can I know which ROMs work with some specific kernel ?

For example, in Virtuous Unity ROM's description, the Virtuous Unity v9 kernel was explicitly mentioned .. in that its needed for the 2-way call feature to work ..

When I upgraded to Virtuous Affinity, the same Unity v9 kernel was not mentioned anywhere in Affinity's description .. Still I assumed it would work, and it did ..

So how do I know which kernel is compatible with which ROMS ?

Also, if I flash the wrong kernel, would it result in any permanent damage that cannot be fixed ?!

And lastly, are their any other kernels out there which support 2-way call recording feature, *without* activating the speakerphone during a call ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Kernels tend to work like this

Froyo kernel - froyo firmware

Gingerbread kernel - 2.3x

Ics... you get the point

Also sense tends to need sense

Aosp and cm tend to be interchangeable but not always

If you swap kernel between these guideliines will usualy be fine

If you flash the wrong kernel usualy won't boot if it does boot things may be messed up

More than likley won't cause any permenet damage and you could just flash properly kernel on top and it will solve your problems, sometimes might have to full wipe and start over

Chance of major damage is unlikley
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmadka:
Hmm ... okay thanks .. So I guess in order to keep using Unity V9 Kernel, I would need to remain with the Virtuous team's ROMs ?

Also, are there any other similar kernels which allow 2 way call recording without having to activate the speakerphone ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well that's a sense kernel right? Probalby any sense that is the same version will work, not necessarily needs to be virtuous

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] webie323:
Check: "Settings" > "Mobile Network" > "Network Mode" > (And change to "CDMA only").

I was experiencing the same issue yesterday and changing from "LTE/CDMA" to "CDMA only" solve it. Maybe it's a tower/radio issue since we don't have LTE On yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dwntwnall4u:
Tired changing the settings but still have the problem. But just noticed as soon as I left my house I started to get the 3G signal back, though very slow. Never had this issue with the EVO 3D.

Hey guys.

My girlfriend has a rooted sony xperia play and I am wondering if there is any software/hack available to unlock it so she can use a different carrier? Her service with the current carrier is horrendous and she really wants to switch to the same operator as me (where my signal is a lot better)

I am running on a mac.

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
You can just ask from your carrier the unlock code. I know, sounds dumb, but if you insist they'll give it to you.

[General Questions and Answers] zackonmac:
Unfortunately that isn't an option, here in Ireland they are extremely strict about this
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Sorry to hear that.

Sim unlocking depends on the IMEI number of your phone. Carriers have the unlock codes by law (for when your contract expires they must release you into prepay if you don't want to stay) or if you want to cancel said contract.

I'd read through the ''How this contract doesn't apply anymore" part.

Also there's online websites that sell unlock codes for around $10-20 consider it as well. My advice though is to buy smartphones unlocked, and maybe a dual sim to keep your other sims from expiring.

[General Questions and Answers] pnrakesh:
Hi all,

I own a Motorola Defy+ GB 2.3.6. Recently (sometime in April '12) got a official update from Motorola. I want to root my device, tried many tools available in this forum like Superoneclick, DoomLord, etc.. But these tools were not able to root my device. I read many posts mentioning successful rooting of Defy+ DFP-231 BL7.

When I checked my device BL version, it showed V9.10 (in the boot menu). I am wanted to know if I could be able to root my device.!

Since I am not able to root my device, I was thinking to flash the stock sbf with a rooted SBF using this method.

I want to know the risks involved in this method. If I flash a custom ROM without taking a backup of the stock ROM (I'm not able to use nandroid woithout root privileges), and something goes wrong, will I be able to restore my device to previous state (stock ROM) ?

Any answers/suggestions are appreciated..

Thanks..!

Hi, folks

These are tips for improving the battery life of your SGS2 :

1.Set the wallpaper , with dark or black images

Set the brightness to 10%

2.When you are not using data , please turn it off . Using 3G data will suck lots of juice !!

On the other hand Wifi doesn't suck so much juice

Now the next steps are the most important

3.Please do keep charging between very short intervals ,

Let the battery charge drop to 5-10% then charge till it reaches 100% , this will considerably , increase your battery life .

4.Do not let your phone keep charging for a very long time ,even after it reaches 100%.

This will damage the battery .

Actually when your phone shows that it has been fully charged (100%),it has only been charged for 95% , so plug in for a few more minutes ,for some extra juice .:p

5.Do not install lots and lots of unused and useless apps ,as they will not only occupy memory , but will also suck the juice out of your phone !!

6.Delete unused widgets from home screen

7.Close unwanted apps running in the background.

Go to task manager and press the ,'clear memory' button frequently .

8.Do not use the charger of other mobile phones , even if they have the same pin ,as this will slowly damage the battery ;)

9.Use only original Samsung battery made for your SGS2 , duplicate or other battery will not only be waste of money , but will also damage your phone !!

10.Sugesstion are welcome , you can posted it , so that i can add it !!

11.If you know a few extra tips , please post it or PM me :)

12.If you like this tread please rate it !! :)

13.Please press the thanks button , if you like this post and if i helped increase the battery life of your SGS2 :D

These things helped me improve the battery life of my SGS2 ,I hope it also help you considerably increase the battery life of your SGS2 too :)

Cheers ,

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lidavid:
Hello.

I'd like to automate XAP deployment from my development environment to WP emulators running for testing. WP emulators are running as Hyper-V VMs and they have a valid IP. As much as I understand communications between MS tools like Visual Studio 2011 Beta and WP are TCP/IP based. So, I wonder what is hiding behind the "Deploy" button? Some PowerShell command? Anything else? For starting I'd like to upload the XAP and install it on the Emulator and eventually the device.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There are third-party deployer apps, so what you want is entirely possible. You'd have to look at the source for them, though, and then write your own that listened on a network socket for the file that it is supposed to install.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lidavid:
Due to security restrictions I still cannot post to developers forums, so I'll try to ask here:

are these applications like Tom XAP installer or Multi-XAP installer Open Source, or what? They are distributed in a compiled form so how I can ask their developers for the source code?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There are any number of programs that can decompile managed assemblies (JustDecompile, for example, but there are a bunch and many are free). It's nice to ask for source (and some of the apps are probably open-source; you can look for the tag [SOURCE] or similar in the thread title) but unless they obfuscated the assembly for some reason, decompiling well enough to understand what it does is easy.
