[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeepTriin:
Thanks for the responses. As Tasker isn't free I'll stick with the "Mute" app and add that to the lockscreen for now.

The whole point of this was so that I don't have to unlock on the way in/out of appointments etc... I can just wake the screen and swipe left to mute/unmute the phone. Granted it's not a huge amount of effort to unlock and use the power widget in the notifications screen, but it is an extra step and we're all about efficiency (or idleness!) :)

It just seems odd to me that this should be something that's inbuilt on the lockscreen, but I guess the developers take a different view nowadays. (It would be nice to have options for both camera and mute in the lockscreen options)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeepTriin:
I'd like to have a go at creating an app to do this for myself.

Can anyone recommend any threads on how to start development - I'm reasonably ok with programming though I'll freely admit that java's object orientation will be a bit of a learning curve. I'm hoping that this will be a relatively simple task - All I want to do is to mute/unmute from the lockscreen without changing anything else...

I've found these bits of code to play with:

http://stackoverflow.com/a/7318028

http://stackoverflow.com/a/10921268

but where do I start in trying to create an app around this and packaging it? adb? Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm looking for an "android how to write apps" or something like that...

Thanks in advance

[edit] - found the android developers pages now and am starting "my first app" - If anyone has any hints and tips though, they'd still be appreciated. Thanks

whats the best android phone to do so for 50-100 USD only real requirement is similar in physical looks to apple products :S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
You won't get an android phone as good as an iphone for fifty or a hundred dollars.

It could look similar but no apple fan would get rid of iphone and switch to low spec android phone it would just convince them apple was better not show them android can be better.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elesbb:
I disagree, Samsung Galaxy S is a great phone for the price, also if you want something on CDMA i recommend the Droid 2 and above. I personally might get the droid 2 global as a backup. They go for 50 bucks on ebay and can be unlocked and used on any network, just wont get 3g with T-Mobile.

EDIT: Plus it depends which iPhone you are comparing to. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
My mistake, I assumed he meant new phones though not sure a galaxy s would compare well to newest iphone.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] swordsman74:
Before I begin - yes, I know I'm being ultra-picky. I'm still looking for the "perfect" case, or as close to it as I can get. I don't have a dock so I'm not distinguishing those which also cover that, and I'm not counting sleeves. Despite finding hundreds of cases on Amazon and eBay, it appears there are only a few different types - with slight variations.

Here's what I found, with my $.02 below...

Silicone

Won't protect the screen

-------------------------

Asus origami front cover

Horrible reviews, won't stay closed

-------------------------

360-degree, velcro or snap mechanism

Bulky

-------------------------

Another type of 360-degree case

Bulky

-------------------------

Tab-style folding mechanism

Keeps slipping out of tab in nearly-flat mode

-------------------------

Folio with kickstand

Bulky

-------------------------

Three-position stand

Had one, returned it - the hard clip that holds the

cover to the device hits the screen before slipping over

the edge. It will likely scratch the screen eventually

or cause wear on that edge.

-------------------------

Multi-angle stand

Stand not stable, don't like material covering the bezel

-------------------------

Triangle-fold

don't like material covering the bezel

-------------------------

Flap style, no stand

No stand

-------------------------

Sikai leather/plastic

Not bad, plastic/leather combination is ugly

I know there is a member here working on a plastic back case that looks promising, but I don't think that will be available any time soon. Have I missed anything else?

Let me know!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShelW:
BobJ is coming out with a silicone case, that works great! (I have a prototype, and he's told me the changes he's implementing, some of which I had recommended)

He's very conscientious about making quality cases, as is obvious from his Amazon reviews on the BobJ Toshiba Thrive cases he sells.

No, it doesn't cover or protect the screen, but if you feel the gorilla glass is sufficient, or if you don't and get a screen protector, it should be an issue.

All ports and openings will be accessible, and it provides excellent protection to the device.

Should be available in one to two weeks, hopefully.

You can go to www.bobjgear.com to check out what they'll look like.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BBKB1217:
there are 2 that I know of:

Sikai also makes a Microfiber case that is available on ebay. its essentially a tri fold covering the bevel but made out of microfiber.

great reviews from people on this board, but to me the way the stitching sticks out on each side is a deal breaker. and there is no way it wont start to stretch out and eventually the prime will have room to wiggle inside.

the Noreve high end leather case.

http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/pro...ormer_Prime_TF201_Tradition_leather_case.html

its a three position case made of high end materials that seems to deserve its own category. only issue is the price, which matches the high end materials.

its a shame marware hasnt come out with their 3 position case for the Prime. great materials, the bottom corner clips are felt on the inside so tbey dont scratch the screen and its half the price of the Noreve (based on ipad prices).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I have been using the Sikai Microfiber style case for a few months now and it hasn't stretched out at all. The material the case is made from isn't stretchy, it is a firm synthetic material similar to the material used in Apple's iPad Smartcover.

The seams are heat sealed as well as stitched. The edges are slightly flexible and are very comfortable in your hand, much nicer than the Prime's somewhat sharp edges.

If you are looking for a thin and light case to protect your Prime, it is one of the best ones available right now.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigkevbosky:
To any developers who may know :

Any way to edit the registry or any other manner to remove the title of the tile? So I could just have a picture of the phone instead of the "AT&T" underneath it, or just have the date on the Calendar tile. I know its the calendar, I don't need the word "calendar" on there.

Or instead of removing it, maybe the color of the title could be changed to match the tile background color, "hiding" it instead.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Interesting question, but I don't know of a way to do this for built-in tiles. There's a place or two in the registry which might hold the title of the Phone tile, but I'd be careful (as in, take a full backup first) about poking any of them as some are connected to things that break the phone in really nasty ways if messed with (DeviceTargetingInfo, I'm looking at you...).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dongster:
Hi all,

I accidentally flashed a Galaxy S2 rom onto my Galaxy Note via ODIN. Now my screen is black, although the buttons lit up when i press it.

When I do a reboot, i do not see any boot logos. Just black screen. But I still do a Vol Down + Power + Home and can be detected by ODIN. I proceed to flash the Stock ICS Rom (PDA file only), but after it is done and reboots, it is still on black screen.

Appreciate your advice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emerl:
You should be able to get back into download mode and then flash the right rom through ODIN. You aren't bricked or anything

Remove Battery

re-insert battery

press and hold power + vol down + home buttons

wait for maybe 5 seconds

press volume up

Try flashing.

Hi Guys!

I looked in all threds that are dealing with this problem but they don't solve my problem!

OK, what i need is the german generic firmware 4.0.2.A.0.42

I know the wotanserver is one solution to find this but now you have to pay for it and i find it isn't worth because flashtool do the same for free!

(But it hasn't the FW)

And before you comment this thread "why the german one you can also use the uk one...blah blah" I know it but it is for the warranty!!

So does anyone have the FW(.ftf file) I'm looking for?

[HTC Desire S] 13th Dev:
I currently have a desires s (S-ON, not-rooted and bootloader unlocked), I am not sure if I should downgrade to hboot 0.98 as S-OFF for this is not available right now and as the title says I want you all to tell me what to do !

I could either keep this hboot and simply unlock the boot loader, root my phone and install a custom recovery to flash roms. But that way I won't be able to S-OFF my device and hence I wouldn't be able to install all custom roms such as virtuous saga which requires S-OFF .

And If I downgrade my device, I am not sure if the kernels,radio, and other things would be that efficient plus I doubt if I would be able to install all roms, like ICS Sense 4 roms

(kinda new to all this so I don't know if I am being a noob, but I seriously need your reply on this)
[HTC Desire S] Funky_Funked:
I can tell you what i did:

I unlocked my bootloader at htcdev right away when i got my desire s, then got superuser access to my phone. It was pretty fun, but I couldn't do EVERYTHING ;) Plus, I lost parts of my warranty.

I really wanted s-off to be able to flash all roms available.

After a month or so, i did a downgrade of the hboot, with this instructions.

It worked flawlessly, although it's an hour of work or so if you're new to android. Terminal/ADB looks weird and complicating at first, but hey, you just need to copy the lines off the tutorial, it works perfect if you do as told ;)

My advice: DON'T unlock at HTCdev (gives yo FULL warranty, even if you flash a custom rom), and just simply follow the downgrade instructions. Then you'll have full access, full warranty and no limitations at all, it's absolutely worth the downrade/s-off!

I'm running ICS now and couldn't be happier with my phone!
[HTC Desire S] 13th Dev:
First of all thank you for your help on this, even I have had the same thought that its better to downgrade my phone and S-OFF it rather than keeping it S-ON.

Btw I came across anouther doubt which I guess its better to ask here instead of creating a new thread every time, : if I have to use an ruu to downgrade ny device, should my current radio (as seen in bootloader) match the ruu's radio ??
[HTC Desire S] uqadwe:
No
[HTC Desire S] lippylion:
Have changed my Rom twice not touched the radio firmware at all.

If it ain't broke don't fix it, also read on xda somewhere radio firmware is a local thing it may work in your area but not mine
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
IMO, there is not much need for you to flash radio.. most of the time you won't need to do so..

and HBoot version can be changed if you are S-Off..

but i have to disagree with your statement that if you don't S-Off you are not able to flash all custom roms.. yes, some may fail to boot up, but mostly they will boot up without problem..

I am currently at the same Hboot as you, HTCDev unlocked and i have tried many roms without problem..

the only thing about having S-On for me is that i will always be dependant on my computer to flash ROM.. other than that, there's no problem generally.. Oh, maybe there is one thing, HTC may know that your phone has already been unlocked since you are using their unlocker.. but there are some ways to relock it and restore the "RELOCKED" in bootloader to "LOCKED"..

I am a newbie, and that's why i unlocked it with HTCDev, but if i were to do it all over again, i would have spend few more days to learn how to downgrade the Hboot and S-Off instead.. you can always flash newer Hboot later anyway..

So my advice, don't worry so much about the radio, or the Hboot version (you can tweak that later) at the moment, then downgrade the Hboot and S-Off it..

IMO it's much better than using HTC unlocker..
[HTC Desire S] 13th Dev:
thank you guys for all your help and advice, finally after spending a couple of days,I successfully downgraded hboot 2.00.0002 to .98 one.

once again, thankyou all :)
[HTC Desire S] doghous:
I assume that you're revolutionary S-OFF by now, you can now easily upgrade on the latest re-engineered hboot :)
[HTC Desire S] 13th Dev:
@doghous exactly !, I'm thinking of changing my hboot to the new re_engineered 2.00.0002 by vampire36, or if someone could suggest a better one....... :-)
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
I have successfully S-Off my DS from HTC Unlock using the method by Skanob, it's pretty straight forward and noob-proof.. (not that you need that now :D) and can be used to revert back to stock, S-On, Locked (not Re-locked) if you ever need to repair..

As for Hboot, i have upgraded the Hboot to Eng Hboot 7.00.1002 (the one you mentioned above) so that would be my recommendation, too!
[HTC Desire S] anchemis:
Does anyone know what the differences between the different versions of ENG Hboot?

ENG v0.98.2000 vs. ENG v2.00.xxxx vs. ENG v7.xx.xxxx

Any benefits of using v2.00 or v7.xx over the v0.98?

Thx.
[HTC Desire S] chninkel:
This one isn't an eng hboot. Better use 2.00.2002
[HTC Desire S] 13th Dev:
A good question actually, even I have the same doubt and would really appreciate if someone could post the answer !
[HTC Desire S] anchemis:
This is what I've gathered from forum trawling...

v0.98.xxxx: the original hboot for 1.x roms

Has the partitions: /system, /cache, /data (all ext3 or ext4)

Fastboot support, supports Revolutionary S-OFF

ENG v0.98.xxxx: engineering version of above

v2.00.2002: the new hboot for 2.x roms (Sense 3.0 etc.)

Has the partitions: /system, /system/lib, /cache, /data (all ext4)

NOT supported by Revolutionary

-> apparently, some Sense 3.0+ roms need this new /system/lib partition to work (stability issues), but I'm not sure which ones though...

->Note Revolutionary is NOT supported, so to S-OFF you need to downgrade using TacoRoot, ZergRush/Misc_versions, XTC clip or some other method.

ENG v2.00.xxxx: engineering version of above

RVL v6.98.1000: hboot that comes after you S-OFF with revolutionary

It is of a higher version number so breaks overflashing functionality, so you CANNOT revert to RUU (for warranty returns etc.)

-> Note: This can be overflashed with v6.98.2000 (OverARX), which then allows you to overflash a stock or engineered hboot.

v7.00.1002[\B]: modified 2.00.2000

NOT ENG BOOTLOADER

But are there any real life benefits of one over the other?
[HTC Desire S] 13th Dev:
for example I have the Rev v6.98.1000 hboot, so what you mean is that I could have problems while flashing roms (occasionally), and hence I should change my hboot to the engineered one ?
[HTC Desire S] ste_vlad:
I got really frustrated with being S-ON and found the HBOOT downgrade instructions dubious so I found someone in my area with an XTC CLIP device and S-Offed the bastard :), don't care much about warranty at this point however.
[HTC Desire S] 13th Dev:
@ste_vald well done there !, having an s-offed device is surely much better :D
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
No, you should be fine installing most of the ROM's (unless specified otherwise in the OP of the ROM).

However, ENG Hboot is recommended so that if required later you can easily flash new radio's / Hboot.
[HTC Desire S] 13th Dev:
Thank you, but can't I flash radios on this rev hboot
[HTC Desire S] Tapur007:
No, i believe you can't! You will require an ENG Hboot...

Just get eOS FiRE

After so many years it is still the best in stability and usability!

There is nothing useless in eOS FiRE because he didn't cook anything that's not necessary, while so many other roms are sooo outdated today with their old apps that are cooked-in and you can't remove. I think I flashed each and every rom I could find here and I always came back to eos fire, trust me on that if you too want clean and really stable rom.

I really cannot remember when last time I hard-reset my eos fire, 1-1.5 year ago or more :D

Go read entire rom's thread and you see from last version there are no problems with it at all, actully someone just posted thanks after 4 years hahahaha :D

[General Questions and Answers] kiario99:
Hello,

It all began when I updated my Nordic 5690 with Kies. With the April update of 2.3.6 the free scrolling in browser did not work, locked to up/down and left/right. And the G in the blue box was gone on the google search.

Anyway, I decided to roll back to 2.3.6 dec version with Odin 1.85. Flashed the single md5 file and got a fail on Arbel_CP.bin. Rebooted phone to test anyway. Worked fine now. G was back in blue box and free scrolling worked. BUT, there was no CSC in the phone when checking with *#1234# meaning no Swedish keyboard. And with no CSC Kies does not manage to get a connection so I can not update through Kies anymore.

SO I am stuck in this situation. What I would need is a separate NEE nordic CSC to flash that separately.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Sideloading, it's called a DEV unlock. MS stopped supported it a little bit ago.

http://labs.chevronwp7.com
[Nokia Lumia 900] lovenokia:
actually you can still dev unlock your nokia lumia 900, just there isnt much you can do that way.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
I think you might be a touched mixed up here. Dev Unlock is still available. It requires registration with MS via marketplace, and does cost $$, though there are several options. The Chevron unlock took advantage of a hole in the OS Scheme to produce a similar unlock. Microsoft did close that hole in NODO I believe. For a short while a variation of the Chevron unlock was available, with support from MS. I believe this has now expired and is no longer available.

Whether or not a true jail break will be available for the lumia is unknown. MS appears to have put a good deal of effort into this type of security. This is not to say it won't be broken. Also, to say the great minds of XDA are on it. Maybe some of the great minds, most likely few to none. Most of the great minds of XDA are android based, where hacking, modding and rooting, though not exactly easy, is common.

With all that said, I'd like to believe, nothing is really impossible...except may be the Cubs winning the World Series.
[Nokia Lumia 900] danmoz98:
It is somewhat ironic that the most secure platform (to date) is the least supported. You'd think developers would be more inclined to produce for a platform where their software isn't likely to be pirated. Obviously there is the issue of WP selling less than iOs or Android phones but that's due to lack of apps!
