[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Yeah...but don't you do that with everything else?? Your new car?? A new laptop, PC or Tablet? At least you got a key chain....

But ...the big question really is.....From where did you hear that about WP8 on latest Gen older devices?? I work very close with friends from Microsoft on Windows Phone. Never, never ever never, have they ever hinted, to me, that WP8 was going to be a broad update, or even work on old devices.

So, if you have some Steve Balmer, Terry Myerson insight...please share....:p
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Words of wisdom and people please stop mentioning Apple's methodology. The lumia 900 is way newer compared to the 3GS when the 4G came out.

3GS did not get all the iOS4 feature but it was already old in the market unlike the 900!
[Nokia Lumia 900] JamesAllen:
Take a Deep Breath

If you are like me, you bought the Lumia 900 hoping that, since it is a high end phone, it would be upgraded to WP8. You didn't know that for a fact, you either guessed, relied on others guesses or hoped. You rolled the dice based on a feeling that MS and Nokia would do the right thing, based upon your desires. Well, they did the right thing based upon their needs. I love my Nokia 900 on WP7.5, I'll love WP7.8 even more. It will take me a long time to grow out of WP7.8. At that time, I will upgrade my phone to WP8.x. Like most of you, I am not at all happy about this. The highest of the high end WP7 phones, just released, and not upgradeable to WP8. Sure I am mad, but mostly at myself for taking such a chance with no facts to backup a future upgrade to WP8.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
Agreed, pretty much sums it up for me. I took a risk, banked on MS to not depricate a "flagship" device like they HAVE NOT done so often in the past and took it in the a$$. Like I said, fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.
[Nokia Lumia 900] sitizenx:
Call it what you want. The phone was FREE here in the US. It was cheaper than some feature phones. I had no expectations. I got a nice very capable smartphone for free. My expectations were met.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
I'm locked down on contracts for the next 7+ years since every time I get a phone from my provider it breaks, so I extend to get another one discounted...

I bought the Lumia 900 outright for $600... And It's not physically busted, but now is obsolete :(

There's just no winning...
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
That's somewhat your fault mate! Why would you do that?!

MS messed up for sure, but let's not blame it for all our problems. :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Zhariak:
I'm so mad at the whole WP8 thing, I think I am going to blame them for all my problems... And my cell provider (which is another story I'm not even going to get in to), heh :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] tabraoui:
I don't want to disrespect anyone, but how could any Lumia owner not feel screwed.

Don't forget poeple that every device, comparable to Lumia 800 or 900, with different OS can run Skype, viber and other VOIP apps in the background... It seems Lumia 800 and 900 will never be able to do so.

How could you just accept that.

$135 androids have VOIP while we ($500/$600 Lumia owners) don't?!?!?!? and you're ok with it?!?!?!?!

Now I know that most Lumia owners are MS or Nokia loyals... I am one... And when others critisized the lack of apps and the inability to run Skype, I always defended both saying that apps will come and skype will be updated... "just a matter of time"... Do I feel stupid now!

I'm not saying I'm chaging to other OS... I'll probably get a new WP8 device and a surface tablet... But i can not NOT feel screwed.

BTW, I got my Lumia 800 in January... was so happy with it that I ordered the 900 about 2 weeks ago... (both factory unlocked cause we don't have contracts where I'm from)
[Nokia Lumia 900] darren486:
i just got my phone less then 2 weeks ago, i'm piss... but what else can i say, i like the design, and the support from nokia seems good enough. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a WP or Nokia fanboy. Just like what JamesAllen says, i put my bet and i lose it... nothing more, nothing less, but i still like the phone, i'm gonna keep it until i feel a need to change to another :)
[Nokia Lumia 900] xsever:
Same boat as you except I got mine free as a replacement to a Nokia X7. Will wait and see what comes up.
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Point of interest. Our L900s won't be obsolete till it stops getting updated. As far as I know there are at least two updates in the pipeline; Tango and 7.8. My guess is there will be at least one more before the 18 month window (April 2012 - October 2013) expires. That would be three OS updates, more than I have (officially) gotten on my Surround in 19 months. Works for me.

Lets look at the alternative. Nokia releases no phones at all till November 2012, by which time Nokia would be non-existent. No Focus 2, no Titan 2, and no low end, emerging market phones till November 2012. Where do you think market share would be? Of course, a few of you would be happy. Be careful what you wish for.

[Nokia Lumia 900] skirtsfly:
As long as existing bugs are being addressed, more/new apps are being added to Marketplace and the phone continues to function as intended, it is not obsolete! I, too, am disappointed that my Lumia 900 won't be upgradeable to W8P; however, I bought it to use NOW. No one promised me it would be able to run W8P before I laid down my money.

Hello folks,

idk if anyone of you guys had a hard time with the same annoying 'feature' on ics roms which forces you to set a PIN/password/pattern lock when you try to install enterprise certificates into your credential storage.

As for myself I need some of these certs to log into the WLAN at my university (which is 802.1x protected). But I don't feel the need of locking my phone.

So I exploited this to go around setting a password for the secure lock screen.

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

Prerequisites are a rooted phone, a root file browser or adb tools and apparently your certificates.

I tested this on AOKP build 38 and 39 on a rooted HTC Sensation XE and will check this on two other devices the upcoming week.

UPDATE: seems to work even easier, I made the changes inline since the previous workaround did not work in every case.

Step 1:

Download the certificates to your SD card and/or install directly via browser/email etc. Do as you are asked and set up a PIN/password/pattern lock. Remember it ;)

Step 2:

now with your root file browser go to /data/misc/ and recursively copy the folders keychain and keystore to a save place.

These are the folders containing the certificate files.

(See [System settings > security > Trusted credentials] for installed certificates)

With adb tools you can for example do this:

adb shell
su
cp -R /data/misc/keychain /sdcard/certificates/
cp -R /data/misc/keystore /sdcard/certificates/

Step 3:

Go to [System settings > security] and click [Clear credentials] at the bottom of the menu. Now your previously installed certs are wiped and you are free to set the lock method to [none], [slide] or [face lock] again.

Step 4:

Finally fire up your root file browser again, set /system as read/write and copy the in Step 2 backed up directories back to /data/misc/. They are now installed as the before but since CertInstaller.apk does not get involved, noone forces you to lock your phone.

in adb shell:

cp -R /sdcard/certificates/* /data/misc/

Now you should be able to find your newly added certificates in the System list under [System Settings > Security > Trusted credentials] in the [User] tab and thus be able to log into your desired WLAN.

I hope this helps some people out there. When I get deeper into developing maybe I will find a 'cleaner' method for this.

have a good night,

.eXa
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] grievous2004:
Thank you for sharing! I have been really looking for this kind of hack.

Sadly I can't use it as my certificate has a different structure: it seems to install 3 files in /data/misc/keystore/

The files are 1000_USRCERT_Polimi ; 1000_USRCERT_Polimi and .masterkey

I tried copying these files to the new directory and even changing the file extension but it did not work.

I don't know if this issue is rom or certificate related.. anyway I am using a stock rom on samsung galaxy s3.. perhaps samsung manages differently certificates..

Have you any clue on this? Thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] .eXa:
hey, thanks for the reply.

alright, I figured something new, maybe try the updated version of the tutorial and pls tell me if that works for you.

greetings
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] grievous2004:
You were fast! :D and I think you made it: I can now select the certificate in the wifi options dialog (so it's correctly installed).. but I can't test the access to the network until monday.. Anyway I am convinced that it made the trick and it was really simple, I must say.

Thank you so much , this will be useful to many people!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Grgur:
Your trick helped me only partially. It allowed me to install the certificates just fine. But as soon as I try to connect to any 802.1x protected Wi-Fi network, the phone bugs me again with setting the screen lock. So I need a workaround for accessing the key storage.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] grievous2004:
I tried it and sadly it does not work: it asks me a password to activate the credential storage.. only problem is that I never set a password for it so I can't insert it and use the certificate. Too bad but I think it depends on the certificate.. anyway thank you very much for the help provided!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] .eXa:
so, back from vacation.

@grgur: in your setup it is the 802.1x wlan that forces you by corporate policy to lock your phone. i am still trying to figure this out, i will try and search the system where stored wlan access points are stored. update will come as i find a solution to this.

@grievous: which version of android are you on? try clearing your credential storage first, then set up the password and then add the certificates. after that proceed with my tutorial.

since i am in the middle of learning for my exams i have really no time to go on with my android studies... it seems like in the long haul someone has to "fix" the app that handles phone lock and device policies. i know who the bad boy is but i am lacking time right now, so hopefully i get this done by the end of august.

i'll keep you up to date with my progress.

I was using a samsung stock rom 4.0.4 and the tutorial worked but when trying to connect again it asked me for a credential pwd (that I never set). Now I'm on CM10 so there should be no problem. As soon as I get to Polimi I'll try ;)

doesn't work for me (SGS2 AOKP JB)

Hi!

I've tried to apply this solution to my device (SGS2 AOKP JB), but after clearing the credentials and copying back the keystores/keychains the user credentials cannot be found (Trusted credentials > User is empty).

Could anyone please help me with this one?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bubr3g:
I have found the permanent solution !!!

I hope this will solve everyone's problem here.

These are the steps I have done after installing Eduroam certificates from my university:

1. Obviously I have installed CA

2. I had to choose which lock screen style will I use (I only could have choose between pattern, PIN, and password), it doesn't matter which lock screen style you choose between those three.(FYI I have chosen pattern)

3. After that I have failed to swipe my lock pattern correctly 15 times

4. The "Unlock with your Google account / unlock with your PIN/password" screen appeared.

5. Choose the "Unlock with your Google account" and type in your username and password

6. After that the "Choose your lock style" screen appears. DO NOT CHOOSE ANY OF THEM, since swipe still can't be chosen

7. Just press back to exit this menu.

8. Lock your screen and unlock it ---> You have swipe unlock enabled along with the CA certificates !!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TrojanPL:
It won't work for me. After 10 failures it says that I have to wait 30 seconds for another try. I have Samsung Galaxy SII with Omega v21 (based on Samsung-stock Android 4.2.1).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raven_raven:
Same thing here. Although files are backup up, there is no certificate showing up on the list. It would be great if someone found a solution, this lock is driving me nuts.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] astarothcy:
Hi, this seems almost too easy, and it's more of a workaround than a solution, but it works:

Try to login to your network

Accept the request to set up the mandatory screen lock and set one up (any kind)

Connect to your network

Go into Android settings/Security and change the screen lock type to None

Your network credentials are now saved and there is no longer a screen lock.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] System of a pWne!^:
The last time I tried this with my CyanogenMod install, removing a pattern/password/pin was not possible because of the certificates. Only after removing the certificates, the screen-lock-type could be changed to a non-pattern/pin/password type.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] astarothcy:
Well, for what it's worth, this must be build-specific because I am running stock ICS on my HTC Droid Inc 4G LTE and this works for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gian569:
you crazy man it really works!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bubr3g:
Well of course, when you fail you sholud have a button in bottom right corner, something like this on the picture

Btw, after you reboot your device it could stop working so you should do the whole thing from step 1

bubr3g's solution worked for me without the need to modify any files! Great, this was an extremely annoying thing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zwoniar:
I tried both solutions, either of them does not work on Lollipop if I did it correctly. When I copy files to the system I don't see certificate on this list [System Settings > Security > Trusted credentials] and Wi-Fi is not working.

bubr3g's solution seems to not working also because even after 30 bad attemps I don't have option to input google password.

Is there any way to achieve this on Android 5.0?

I believe the most secure way of updating the phone would be through the Samsung Kies software

[Captivate General] jmtheiss:
I would suggest that you look into downloading one of the Heimdall-based one-click files here, specifically the one in the "I897UCKH3 Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread" section labeled "With Bootloaders - Link 1 / Link 2 [With CWM Injected Kernel from Boog]". That will flash your phone with the Gingerbread stock rom (the most current Android version officially released for the Captivate), with a kernel that will give your phone root capabilities and ClockworkMod Recovery.

Heimdall works on Mac, unlike Odin.

One quick note - if you do flash that file, MAKE SURE TO BACK UP ALL OF YOUR APPS/PICTURES/MUSIC ETC.. I emphasize that because when you flash the stock rom you'll lose all of your apps, and if something bad were to happen during the flash, there is a chance (albeit a small chance) that you could hard brick your phone. This is because that file flashes bootloaders.

Just makes sure you have a good cable and good connection to your phone and you should be fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r3dpuma:
Ok let me start my sad story. Months ago i upgraded to ICS and all was fine untill the phone started giving me that error " charging paused voltage to high". I used my nandroid to go back to GB and it was the same. Since then i changed Ics versions, now im on Cm9. I used contact cleaner spray and it actually worked for a few days. Then i got the problem again. In the last month there was no more "voltage to high" error but the phone was not charging anymore, usb or ac, unless i reboot the device. Then it says its charging but it doesnt say USB or AC, just charging. And today it stopped charging period. No matter if i reboot or not. The thing is that i bet you will all say its the USB port, and i might agree but if the micro usb port is broken tell me why odin recognize the device instantly in download mode and flashing goes smooth or why when i use my USB OTG cable my flash drive connects flawlessly and the copy operation runs perfectly? I dont get it, thats why i need help because i love my Sgs2. If there are other threads i appologize but im a seaman and im sailing alot hence my online time is either very limited or expensive.

Thanks in anticipation!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Obviously a problem with the charging circuitry. You can replace the board yourself apparently (not something I'd try), you can send it in for warranty repair or a local non-Samsung authorised repair shop should be able to repair it fairly quickly I would have thought. We see this problem on here all the time.

You could always try another battery and/or charger if you still think it isn't this problem. If you do have the same issue with a new battery/charger, then it's definitely the problem.

You've done everything you possibly can to rule a hardware issue in/out (you've gone back to stock, back to GB, cleaned the contacts), there isn't a great deal more you can do other than the above.

And are there any good games I can use for them too?

Well i've overclock till 1.5 ghz with Tegrak Overclock on Gingerbread but now on ICS i overclock till 1.2 ghz with rom control from aokp.

But i do it when i'm going to play when i finish i underclock till 800 ghz

Anyone else have any questions on how Tegrak works?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Every custom kernel here is clocked at 1.2 ghz ..it is enough for any game ..if you want more tegrak overclock give you 1.3 ghz and paid version even more but 1.3 is just enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
Overclocking the cpu on the SGP 5 does nothing. I have GenericGinger with Entropny's (I think that's how you spell his name) and the only thing I have noticed is the booting is quicker and it charges faster due to the kernal. My solution for you is to get Chainfire3D. The SGP 4 and 5 are able to play Nvidia Tegra games with the occasional fps drop. I can play Galaxy on Fire 2 THD on it thanks to Chainfire3D. Install that app and it will literally bring the retarted Apple devices to it's knees. Android FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] kfirbep:

And sometimes when i exit a game it takes time to the widgets and the applications menu to be loaded.

Ipod is much more faster than this device becase of the processor and because of the ssd
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
I use adw launcher ex and when game is memory hungry lucher redrows when i exit game but it is few seconds...but i did not yet play a game that have lag...nova 3 would probablu lag on maximum setting but i have no way to check it because game runs in low settings..but i have fifa 2012 ,gta 3 ,ME infiltrator,sims free play ,real racing 2 and 10 more games and they no lag at all.My all games are storred on external Sd card class 10 and u use app call "GL to SD" which is free on the market which bacisly mount android data folder to external card ..with out that internal 5 gb would run out very very fast with this big games.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nightfire37:
This statement is absolutely false. Ipod's processor is the same processor inside our SGP but slower. Apple (retarted) underclocks the processors which is very stupid and the ssd is nand storage. Still, the same as the SGP. Do some research before you say the Ipods are better. I am not starting a flame war but this is true.
