[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitekidney:
EDIT:

I just talked to Rayman and this won't work for you, TF101G devices have another SBK. I'm sorry.

Hi there.

I made this tool for you.

http://www.mediafire.com/?5wi7ga8c7b4wz1p

Unzip and start EasyFlasher.exe

1. Put your tablet in APX mode (Hold down Power and volume up)

2. Install APX drivers if needed

3. In EasyFlasher, click on the "Wheelie" button, this prepares your tablet for nvflash.

4. Click Flash recovery.

This should work if you have a SBK2 device, I have heard that newer TF101Gs have a newer SBK, if you have a newer SBK, this will not work.

EDIT:

This tool will only work with any SBK2 device at the moment.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcbyte_it:
Question is about this app: Verisign VIP Access

Currently my bank provides me with a Verisign hardware token to generate OTP during sinin and operations, but recently they started to offer also the access using the software version through the Verisign VIP Access app for smartphones.

I already installed this app few months ago to use it on another site that supports it, and I have my credential ID, and I would love to use it also for my bank.

What I am asking for is:

This is a software solution, and the Credential ID was generated when I first started the app for the first time, will this ID change if I change ROM or change device? I already have the app+data backed up with Titanium Backup, and it seems that restoring brings back the same ID, but can anybody confirm this?

I can't risk loosing the ID for my bank account....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmcrash:
Obviously an old post, but for others' reference:

Yes, changing ROM causes VIP Access app to use a new "Credential ID" (even restoring with data from Titanium Backup), which is no longer in sync with your bank. I have to call E-trade for this reason every damn time I change my ROM. If memory serves, even dirty flash (not nightly) causes VIP Access reset.

Google Authenticator does not have this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atistang:
I mean is this as good as its gonna get? I got it set to 2.4ghz. Bluetooth off. It still sucks, I can barely go outside of my house without dropping my connection. My iPod and evo3d would go to the edges of my yard and then some. Same at work. IPod (first gen) streams all day long without a hiccup. I can be right next to it with my gn and if I do get a connection it is very short lived.

Are there any kernals or rooms that can help with this? Anything else I can try?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
You can try franco.kernel, the control app has an option to increase wifi strength.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atistang:
Thanks I might give it a try. Wanna make sure its not an issue with the phone before I root
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Blacksceada:
Maybe the Widget, called in the first post in this thread will help...

The franco.kernel option works also very well for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jokies:
It may not be want but I would still like to let you know phones are small so they can never get the same Wi-Fi signal strength like computers do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atistang:
thanks.

I know. But my evo3d and my iPod both maintain wifi where my gn will not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I don't believe the Franco.kernel will give you better wifi signal.. I believe it's only keeping the wifi from entering low power mode when the screen is off. Hence it saying "useful for streaming media with the screen off".

There is no rom/kernel combination for a wifi deficiency, sorry OP :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atistang:
Good to know. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Just some input here...

I have a Droid X.

And my Laptop.

And my GNex.

All connected to the same wireless router.

I just jumped into my car (where I've streamed netflix before...as I smoked a cig) while parked in the street...same spot as always.

Laptop holds "weak" signal here.

Droid X: One bar.

GNex: One bar.

(All three devices are connected to the same extent that I'd expect them to be)

MAYBE you're radio is faulty.

Maybe not. It's hard to say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P3aK:
I read somewhere that setting your 5Ghz band router settings to a channel below 48 could help eleviate some connection issues.

Gonna try this myself when I get back home since I´m having a very hard time connecting to my 5Ghz band.

But perhaps experiment with changing channels on the 2.4Ghz band could help? If you have access to the router perhaps give it a go. Might help, might not.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darengive:
Since upgrading my S2 from 2.3.5 to ICS 4.0.3 XWLP7 firmware, i have been having an issue with contacts.

I have the same contact with same number but different names on both my SIM (Eg. Alex/M) and Google account(Alex). In the contact app, i selected to display only Google contacts. Now when i select the Google contact(Alex) and call, the call is made using the SIM contact and the dialer app displays Alex/M instead of Alex. This happens for incoming calls also.

How can i fix this and ensure that the calls are done using only the google contacts?

If i go to the dialer app, select menu->Contacts it displays my SIM + Google contacts, but even on selecting a google contact and making the call, the SIM contact is displayed...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hughfollett:
I think that the only way is to modify the name your sim contacts to match the google contacts.. and I think that contacts are always referred to the SIM, as you can make calls,sms and use internet only with SIM

Sent from my hybrid SII with the power of ParanoidAndroid and Fluxi kernel
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chef_Tony:
or you could just delete the sim contacts. if you don't use the sim in another phone where you can't access your google contacts, you really don't need them anymore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i360*:
You can either sync your contacts with Google or delete your SIM contacts (remember to back up!)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darengive:
important contacts on sim

I don't want to delete the SIM contacts as i store only the important ones and if i use another phone i would still have these contacts.

Is this a bug in ics as i have not faced this issue in gb 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kroz:
it happened to me before, even on sms, sim contacts were being displayed, i noticed it because my contact pictures doesn't appear on sms, and when i click it, it shows that it is the sim contacts

i solved it this way

1. make sure that every contacts on sim were imported on your google contact

2. delete all sim contacts

3. now export your google contacts to your sim

4. finally when making a call or receiving sms, google contacts were being fetched

hope this will solve your problem :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] shreedharcva:
Well , I'm sorry to say this but I seriously feel that Chevron was/is a utter failure on the face of WP7 community.

As a WinPhone7 User I expected Chevron to

1. Unlock to install as many apps from Marketplace.

2. Unlock /Activate my Phone to enable it to use with Marketplace.

But at the end it turned out that,

He released it as a Subscription tool with payment, (Although I agree that the infrastructure to unlocking costed the developer).But selling up you service to Microsoft in turn spoiled the little meaning .

Atleast not making the process or idea behind the hack open source after going broke with the earlier idea really hampers or insults the xda team.

Learn from iOS hackers who released Cydia,Cinject,Redsnow,Absynth. you can find it opensourced and its legal.

:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
What are you talking about? You can install any Marketplace app but of course you should pay for the apps first!

Chevron was designed for developers, who are not students and can't afford $99 annual subscription (but definitely not for regular users who want to pirate and sideload apps).

P.S. BTW, it's completely wrong forum, you should "cry" in General, not in "Development and Hacking"
[Windows Phone 7 General] stackover:
You are completely lost man. LOL

What the f** are you talking about?
[Windows Phone 7 General] VECTUS:
Moved to General...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ren13B:
Chevron unlocking was intended for developers and not hacking or pirating software. The only reason Microsoft agreed to it was to try and get people that were on the fence or located in countries that the marketplace didn't support to start developing for WP. In that regard, it was a failure and shut down because people used the service for something it was never intended for.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sinister1:
What phone do you have? Have you checked the forms to see if there is a custom rom avilable for your phone? I did and I found it; went and cancelled my stupid dev account right after that too. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] juzz86:
Spot on.

If you were using Chevron simply so you could pirate apps, you're doing it wrong. As an RD mentioned above, what it was designed for and what it ended up being used for (in some cases) are two different things.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adil1508:
I think the problem was with your partitions. When you partitioned your phone with a 220 mb partition, maybe due to bad blocks, a bit less was partitioned. like maybe 210 or 200mb. For desire sense roms the partition size is 220, i think, so you may want to flash a 230 or 240 mb partition.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ZoggaP:

but before i complete build and test i want to make sure everything works and it boots correctly.

any help is welcomed and thanked.

[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
I'll throw in my $0.02...

I really don't see the need for both beats and dsp manager (especially since both offer very little noticeable difference to the end-user experience... be honest, now :)).

Also, think twice about adding big bloaty apps (like Titanium) especially if you are de-odexing the ROM. Internal space on this phone is at a premium. If you must include it, throw it in /data/apps... at least users can easily rip it out if they so choose.

Good luck, and lookin' forward to your work.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dream of Electric Sheep:
We all know -- getting the user feedback is essential, but it's hard. At least I find it so.

For example, judging from data gathered from random Android app and game samples, on average:

about 10-20% of all users that have downloaded the app, have actually reviewed the app,

about 10% of those that reviewed the app also leave a comment (making the number of comments approximately 1-2% of all downloads),

about 1% of users communicate via in-app channels,

about 1% of users respond to social posts.

As I mentioned already, this is based on a random sample and the rather small sample size (10) may be biased by statistical error. Nevertheless, it "feels" right ;)

Now, let's say that your user base is wide enough to get the accurate feedback about your product, but only if you could motivate more users to respond to Rate and Leave Feedback requests... but let's leave that for a separate discussion.

What I wanted to ask you all is:

Which questions would you ask your users if you knew they will answer truthfully?

Think survey!

Think user satisfaction!

Think best loved feature!

Don't think girl's/boy's phone numbers! :P

In the end, I'll try to compile the result in a single survey separated in categories (and based on the popularity of suggested questions) for the community to use.

Let's start asking :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dream of Electric Sheep:
<placeholder>
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dream of Electric Sheep:
Starter

To get us going, here're some example questions (courtesy of zoomearng.com):

What Features Can You Not Live Without? – Asking people what features they must have on your upcoming product is a great way to find out what is in the highest demand. In short, this online survey question shows you, overall, what features you cannot leave out.

What Is the Most You Would Pay? – Understanding your potential customer’s price range can help you better understand what you can realistically afford to include, and exclude, to hit those price points.

What Did You Like Best About Our Old Product? – If you had an older version of a product and are updating it, finding out what features your customers liked best. Use this online survey question to find out what you should not change in future versions of your product.

What Other Brands Would You Consider? – This online survey question helps you quickly locate and understand your possible competition. Knowing what you’re up against will help you better gauge where your energies should be focused for your product.

What Else Should We Know? – Let your online survey respondents have the floor. This question gives them the opportunity to sound off about things maybe your online survey questions missed. Find out all you forgot to ask about with this question.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dream of Electric Sheep:
One thing that I was not sure how to proceed is the personall, demographic questions. How deep to go and what are the limits?

I believe that the answer to this is in type of survey, but also in giving the user the possibility to opt-out or to make those questions non-mandatory.

What's the safe zone with demographic questions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
I think you can safely ask for:

Country

Age

Occupation

Service Provider(if any, or if necessary)

Another question that can be considered is "Do you primarily use this app for business or personal use?" Obviously only certain apps would use this.

Just a suggestion, but since a lot of questions could vary between apps(like between recreational or utility apps) maybe if you made a tool that allowed app developers to customize and then compile a survey which can then be added to their app with minimal effort it would be awesome. That way developers could ask more app specific questions alongside the more general ones you mentioned above. The hardest thing about that would probably be making it compile into a universal format that can be copy pasted into any apps code, but I'm sure it's not too hard. If the tool automatically created the proper classes along with each survey then it literally could be copy pasted into whatever part of the app the dev wants it in.

Just my 2 cents.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dream of Electric Sheep:
Good suggestions, AlanB412.

The Country and Service provider are quite well covered by Play Store statistics (though, should be considered in case app is not published on Google).

Other "personal" stuff, I compiled into one (multiple choice) question for the survey I'm creating for m-parking:

The details of occupation, like industry and field of work, deserve a dedicated question, if needed, of course.

Ideally, the availability of questions should be dependent on previously made choices (e.g. occupation industry should be asked only if employment status "employed" or "self-employed" were previously selected). That kind of branching should make the survey more engaging as opposed to presenting the user with irrelevant questions.

The idea about the "tool" for developers sounds interesting.

How I'm looking at is a library project that has many out-of-the-box available questions, but that allows also for customizations and works dynamically with any question specified in standard strings dedicated resources.

The tricky part is actually not the inclusion of such Survey-library in apps or its dynamic handling of question-answer configuration. It's in (collecting) the reports part. For that to work seamlessly out-of-the-box, a third party "cloud" reporting service should be available -- to collect and provide access to reports.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDMpire:
I was just thinking about how roms that dont' come with the google stock apps for licensing reasons, are there any restrictions on what gapps can be installed?

For instance, the last time I had to do this was for my Acer A500. The rom in question didn't include Gapps, but in the thread there was a link to the app in a flashable zip. Would I need to use that zip, and that zip only for that particular rom? Would that zip work with other roms?

If not, what is the stipulation? Do the apps themselves need to be at a particualar version to work with a particular version of the rom... Lemme explain if your confused:

Would an ICS rom, version 4.x.x need a gapp, say the play store, to be at version 4 also, or a version compatible with ICS?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsd_raul:
you need to flash a compatible package, for example, there are diferences between 4.0.XX and 2.3.XX on google play

i think every 4.0.XX gapps package is compatible with every 4.0.XX custom rom
