[HTC One S] compta5:
Just wondering what color options are available for the one s t mobile.
[HTC One S] syntropic:
In the US, pretty much gradient blue. I guess in India there is a black certain.

Also, though I have not seen it brought up for a few months.. There were rumors in February that HTC was going to release a red version (like anodized aluminum darker red, i.e. Iron Man red. However, that was supposed to be this month, and I have not heard anything about it since I first red the unsubstantiated report in February.

[HTC One S] compta5:
Interesting ......a red one would be nice. In going to have to look that up. Thanks for the reply
[HTC One S] syntropic:
Sure...and also, if you are really interested in color, etc. I found this case at TMO (but don't buy it from there) which is hard and snaps against the back. I don't think the protection it provides is all that significant, but one style they have is a white acrylic/plastic, with solid chrome-plastic (meaning it's not chrome paint that will just wear ofG)... Still, you may or may not like the plastic, but I ordered one from the web and got it (was cheap .. <$10 at Ebay or accessory stores), and it fits perfectly tight, and it makes it a bit easier to hold...

Plus, if I am going out with my low IQ Apple fan friends, it has the benefit of looking just like an iPhone!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] jeff_roey:
I'm just starting to get comfortable with my Maxx and there's a few really trivial things that I just don't like too much. One example for instance is I really like the LG 3D Picture Gallery App from my last phone compared to Moto's Photo Gallery App.

Both phones are rooted and I thought I could just pick up the .apk and .odex for the app off of my LG and drop it in my System/Apps on my Maxx but nothing doing. Even if I click the .apk on the SD Card using ES FE, it tells me I can't install it.

What gives? Is it a matter of apk permissions? How do I "port" the LG app to my Maxx? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Man, that's a million dollars question!

You can try simple get the files .apk and .odex in your system/app folder but it will most likely not work.

System apps have dependecies and libs that cant be ported so easy.

Good luck

you can also try astro file manager, it can make a backup of an. apk

After I read that not all S's had the same chips in them i wondered if there is an app which can tell you exactly what cpu/soc etc there is in your phone?

(As usual googles market is just full of games)

[LG Optimus Black] skalicc:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
I had my s3 supplied by orange UK and thought that it would probably be locked to orange although there was no branding on the box or phone.

Started looking over the net to see how I could check and found that if you enter *# 7465625# and they read off or disabled then your phone is completely unlocked.

Mine is which is a real bonus so well chuffed.

Sorry if this was already known to everyone but was new to me and thought it might be useful for some people.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
This is what I mean
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechAttack:
Got mine direct from O2, presumed it was locked down tight but using the code you provided it shows as fully unlocked.

Bonus!

Thanks for pointing this out :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delsus:
Could be due to the delay just to get the phones out the networks haven't had time to put their code into Android, perhaps when they get all the preorders out future ones will.

Mine is from Affordable mobiles so I know it will not be locked :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
I was told that I had a version of orange software on here, although no orange apps etc. But phone was really buggy so flashed with the latest release, been really good since the.

Just pleased its not locked also, helps in the event I don't remain happy with it and decide to sell it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hal752:
mines from O2. Its locked :/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:

Got mine from 3uk on release day but had to get a replacement 3days ago and that come network locked :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechAttack:
It certainly looks that way! I got mine on preorder and it came unlocked, whilst other O2 folks who waited till after release got a locked phone.

I asked O2 what benefits there were for preordering with them but they didn't mention it being unlocked! In fact, they didn't mention any benefits! :P

Is T-Mobile batch unlocked? If so, would it work abroad?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
Got my rather wonderful Galaxy S3 on Vodafone contract.

Unfortunately that USSD code doesn't seem to work on mine.

The phone and firmware is unbranded though.

So I'm guessing its open to all networks?

Plus the phone arrived in a Samsung white box, and not a Vodafone one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh0wst0pper:
Im i the only person where this code doesnt show anything?

No, you're not the only person, loads of us have the issue with this and other codes.

Orange UK had some stock issues so pure SIM free devices were supplied (cc: btu)

Congrats lol

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Like some other carriers there is no OTA agreement with Samsung for the s3, you could always debrand it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
It seems not.

Like I said in my previous post. That USSD code doesn't do anything on my S3.

I'm in the UK on Vodafone pay monthly.

But like I said, I'm guessing my phone is unlocked, judging by the phone being unbranded, alongwith the firmware seemingly unbranded. And lastly the firmware version.

But I could be wrong:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh0wst0pper:
OK thanks. So is this a region thing then? Do you know of any other codes that can check the network lock?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Install this app

It will tell you if your phone is locked and will be able to unlock it if needed
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sh0wst0pper:
Cheers for this. Although i dont want to root my phone just yet - i like having skygo which doesnt seem to work on a rooted device. Also im still new to android having just jumped ship from IOS!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueeagle69:
Welcome to Android:)

Come to think of it. This S3 is my first Android smartphone :) And this one is very smart :)

I finally retired my Symbian Nokia 5800, and gave it to the Mrs.

Although I have got a 7inch Android tablet.

Which now plays second fiddle to the S3.

A bit off topic here. But has anyone read the news about Samsung's offer.

If you trade in your iPhone4S, and get an S3 or Note. They will give you a free Galaxy Tab.

Lmao. That is priceless by Samsung :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E_Goldstein:

Thanks, I have 2 Galaxy S3s on Three UK, not sure why the code didn't work from the dialer but this app worked (after going through the faff of borrwing the neighbour's orange sim from his iphone to test if network locked)

Both handsets bought on Three UK contracts through tesco phone shop and both handsets are unlocked :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azy77:
Thought mine was locked to t-mobile, but then I got the JB update earlier than others whi h caused suspicions of it maybe being unlocked. I tried the code in OP previously from another site and it didn't produce any result so I ordered a free micro sim (with zero top-up) from o2 which worked. Pleasently surprised it's unlocked :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cirian75:
I think a few thousands of the first S3's were shipped branded but not locked

Slight foul up by Samsung and the carriers in our favour.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
Let me start my saying right now I found my "daily rom". (Wicked sensations). I have tweeked as far as performance wise. (Eg taken out more bloatware). Now I want to tweek the appearance of it also to have a little me in it. This is where I need help. I would like to take the sprint logo off the pull down menu. And also off the lock screen. Replace both with my name. Can someone tell me how to do it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Decompile framework-res.apk open res\values\strings.xml

Search for Sprint it should be in there three times.

<string name="zz_roamingText1">Sprint</string>

<string name="zz_roamingText99">Sprint</string>

<string name="zz_roamingText123">Sprint</string>

Change those and recompile. That should be it.

Hey guys i have recently bought gnex

i m newbie to android world

do i need to root gnex if i want to install downloaded apps and games on gnex ?

my friend told me that i dont need to root my device for that

is it ?

and how to install apps in that case
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Nope... just go into security and check allow unknown sources. You will need a file browser as well to find the apk you downloaded and then tap on it and install it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
dont pirate apps/games.

buy them on the market. without devs being paid, none of this is possible.

if you were asking in general.... play store is where you get it from, there are also alternative markets (amazon app store, slideit)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tanker01:
Unless you really need Titanium Backup or custom rom, you don't have to root. Every phone is make to work out of the box, rooting is for developer options, or access file-system.

Enjoy your Gnex ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolqf:
99.9% of apps work on the phone without a problem. If you want to use other stores **** the Amazon App store then just follow the earlier posts instructions. Apps that require root are mostly apps that can have unintentional adverse affects.

Why is it that HTC still not releasing it?! Sensation has it already! No wonder HTC revenue falling short huge. Samsung SII released it already too.

The Amaze is relevant anymore to them. If they suppress the great likes of the amaze, after all it has the best camera of it's generation, they can push customers towards the one series which has source.

[HTC Amaze 4G] invisiblefire101:
So basically promote the one s n then after a while they would release the kernel for ics n the amaze would really amaze people
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
You should express this to htcdev and their Twitter acct
[HTC Amaze 4G] shekki:
Yes please express this to HTC through htcdev and their twitter account. I've already told them how I felt, but it's going to take more people to really get them to pay attention to us. Please be professional and if you need help on how to go about this look at Hasoon's thread on releasing the drivers petition.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustusIV:
So i was told that unlocking the bootloader breaks DRM(wildvine).

Does anyone have insight on what is actually happening here?

How is the DRM tied to the bootloader? With android being open source how is this not easily bypassed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalFLAVOR:
WideVine

Ive been looking for that answer too. The fancy thing about WideVine (WVM) is that it monitors for screen recorders and audio capture programs. The closest explanation i have received is that rooted devices can run screen recorders or kill the DRM running in the background.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ricky54326:
Hey everyone. It seems that our friends at CNET have some more information for us - hopefully a bit more valid than the last info they gave us:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105...nfirms-android-4.0-for-droid-razr-on-the-way/

I too got this text message saying that my phone will soon be upgraded to Android 4.0. I also received an update for my MotoCast software from v1.2.9 to v2.0.19... coincidence? I think not.

http://screencast.com/t/eUT02Xll7oO

Thoughts?

Also, according to https://forums.motorola.com/pages/00add97d6c (Motorola's upgrade chart)

They started rolling out the ICS update for the Xoom with WIFI AND 3G now instead of JUST the wifi one. This means that now they should be focusing solely on the RAZR/RAZR MAXX.

Let's hope for ICS soon!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ExtraDan:
Have no thoughts, every confirm will be a lie.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] daniel644:
That article only "confirms" its coming not that it will be here by the end of the month, there is no official date and on the MOTO page now updated 2 days ago (and 9 days AFTER ICS began pushing to XOOM 3G) we are still listed as PHASE 2 development and have yet to move to PHASE 3 testing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisjm00:
I have learned from the past that the only confirmation I will believe at all, is one from Verizon, Motorola, etc DIRECTLY. I just have no faith in outside sources.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisjm00:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] hihipunkt:
What the actual **** is going on in this forum? :D

Why is everyone so impatient, I'm from the Optimus 2x xda forum (just read, didn't post) because I owned one before I got my razr. Over there, nobody cares about the official update because everybody knows that LG will fail (again) to update in the near future.

You guys should consider doing that too, one day Motorola will eventually release the OTA ICS update and you can get it.

If you get excited about something, you want it so bad that you get disappointed when the expectations don't become true.

So just relax and wait. On my razr, GB runs really smooth (smoothest android I saw ever on a phone, even the Nexus of a friend of mine had serious and annoying bugs), so don't get so upset about it.

Just my 2 cents ;)

Just install the leak. I finally did and should have a long time. Its incredible.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kyfredrickson:
Thats what I keep hearing... I suppose I can just do that. Iv been samsung, htc... now moto... this entire thing is new to me now. No need for root right? Im on stock .181 never messed with anything sooooooo just follow the below steps?

- PUT THE UPDATE FILE ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD FIRST.

You will not be able to use your RAZR to put the files on the SD card after you begin. Please do so beforehand.

- Turn on USB Debugging (pull down the notification panel, tap the wrench, go all of the way down to developer options, tap that, then make sure USB debugging is checked).

- Open the Droid Razr Utility 1.6 Modified .bat file.

- Press any button after ADB starts up. Then type in 15 and press enter, and follow the onscreen instructions to reboot into AP Fastboot (bootloader).

- Return to the main menu.

- Type 1 and press enter twice.

- Follow the onscreen instructions to Fastboot to .181 using Modified Droid RAZR Utility to make sure you're completely stock and the update will go through.

- Turn your phone off.

- Turn your phone back on, holding VOL UP + VOL DWN.

- Use VOL DWN to go down to "Recovery", and then VOL UP to select it.

- Press VOL UP+VOL DWN to bring up the recovery menu once an image pops up after the rebooted phone's Motorola logo.

- Use VOL UP+VOL DWN to navigate to "apply update from external storage", then press PWR.

- Use VOL UP+VOL DWN to navigate to the update file (named BlurVersion____________ unless you changed it.), then press PWR.

- You should get no errors, and the phone should install the update successfully. Congrats, you're on ICS!

- I recommend factory resetting here to be safe, but you don't have to.

- Use VOL UP+VOL DWN to navigate to "reboot phone", then press PWR to leave recovery.

- Reroot if you want, using the guide at the bottom of the post.

Is this all I need to do? I knowwwww its all over xda if I search... but while im asking things I might as well just ask here to save some time for myself. When the OTA does come sometime eventually soon.... What needs to be done to get the phone to take the OTA update?

Thanks guys... and Im liking the moto community

I used Root Explorer/root browser to do this.

Navigate to the system/app folder

set to Mount R/O

look for the Phonesky.apk file and delete it

copy the attached Vending.ap to the system/app folder

set permisssions of Vending.apk to rw-r--r-- (owner: read/write, group: read and others: read)

reboot

you can download the Vending.apk here

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Q9Nap:
was going to hold out for the razr hd, but now want to burn an upgrade on the maxx before the new price plans take effect.

Anyway, I'm trying to deodex 181 and have all of /framework done except services.jar, which is essentially empty with no odex file. none of the other /framework files need it but some /app files do need it.

so how do I deodex without services.odex?

Looking at other fxz files, most have services.odex. only other system I've seen without it is the latest droid x 621 sbf...

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Q9Nap:
Thanks for the reply! I could deodex the 173 services.jar which would probably be a better match, but would like to use only 181 files if possible.

Kinda thought this was developer related since deodexing is the first step toward creating custom roms, just sayin...
