Having a roku is great but the limited hulu+ is a killer. would it be possible to create a sideloaded hulu app that could play all web content to install on your roku box?

i know there was a hacked flash for my android phone to access full hulu from the browser which was awsome.

I am no programmer but was just wondering the possibilities.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nutankumar:
Hi Team,

I have heard lot about this forum and hope to get some gud suggestions from you guys.

I bought my Samsung Galaxy ace GT-S5830 with android 2.3.6 Gingerbread OS 6 months back but slowly I started facing few problems when my friends noticed and told me that your phone sometimes says switch off.

I also realized that sometimes even if the airtel network is there still i get an error message that mobile network not available I had to switch off the phone to get it normal.

Again people text me but it goes on pending and gets delivered after hours. I showed this problem to the service center they flashed my mobile but the problem persist I also tried changing my sim card but still all in vain. Now i am literally fed up with this phone.

Please assist me I dont know wat to do :crying:

Note: The phone is not rooted.

Thank you
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] musf:
err, are you sure this is because of the phone..? not the network..? because i never face any of the problems you mention..

may be you should try flashing stock rom with newest baseband for your region, find it on sammobile..

Hi Guys !!!

Thanks for sharing your views

@demiorkan

The mobile automatically does not gets switched off but i need to do it manually as it keeps on prompting the error message "Mobile network not available" though I can see full network on my mobile.

I would really appreciate if I get any suggestions from your side.

Let me know if any more information is required.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QNBT:
If you dont mind you could try flashing another stock rom and see if that works out. If it did not, then it's probably a hardware problem OR the network (as mentioned). Try your SIM card on another phone as well, that should prove if there is problem with the network or not.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsyGik:
Mostly it might be a firmware problem. Service center might not have flashed a new firmware but simply wiped and gave back. (can't be sure on that). So I recommend on using ODIN and flash new firmware. Google is your best friend on this.

Secondly about the network, Turn on flight mode once and turn it off, you'll get the signal. You can even do some debugging by going to the testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and toggle the radio and the preferred connection type and stuff. But if the place where you are is such that you get low signal, then don't try any things on phone as it's ultimately the network problem. Trust Me, the place where I stay, I rarely get proper reception and Even I'm on the same network. Flight Mode trick saves the unnecessary reboot.

We don't have softkeys mate! We have hardware buttons.

I assume that if the logic in the code is reversed, a developer would be able to enable these however it would be fairly pointless!
[HTC One X] mattmanwrx:
Correct, we don't have soft keys... Well, the menu button is a soft key, but who wants that anyway... :-P

In the framework-res.apk the "NavigationBar" is actually set to true, so it is "enabled" anyway, so not too sure how to actually get it to show the soft keys... But as said, would be kinda pointless (unless your hardware buttons fail, but the phone is so new, I doubt that would happen at this stage)..

Sorry in advance - I know there are a lot of guides for unrooting and re-flashing stock ROMs, but I've so far had no luck with any of those. I rooted a while ago and since then have been locked out of OTA and stock ROMS – I’m using a modified version of stock Gingerbread. I have downloaded the ICS update.zip and was hoping to flash this, however I understand this isn't possible (but tried anyway) with my current set up.

I know I can wait for some kindly soul to produce a 'cracked' version of the update but would rather be able to use stock and OTA a lot more easily. I think the issue is the root method I used, was the first available for Inc S at the time, so I think it was Unrevoked, although if not it was Revolutionary. Have had to update Hboot since then to get my GB ROM to load on.

My current boot info displays as:

Vivo Pvt Ship S-off RL

HBoot-7.00.1000 (it’s the 4pda.ru one)

Radio_3805.06.03.03_MeMMC-boot

I’m on 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 and the software number is 3.08.405.3

If it’s relevant at all, when I first get in to bootloader I am greeted with some img32 errors.

Don’t think (read: hope) I’m not being too much of a noob here, although would love a quick fix! Does anyone have any suggestions or know of a guide to follow for this? Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pepperami1964:
Hiya guys!

First post, so hello to everyone reading this :)

Ive got a Samsung Galaxy S3, and I did ask if it had been rooted or played with, and the guy said NO definitely NOT, but when the phones put into DOWNLOAD mode, it most definitely has had something done!

Count is on 1, ODIN is at the top, and CUSTOM is displayed in the last two fields I think, might not mean its rooted and I am new to these, but think it may have been

It was "OPENED TO UNLOCK ONLY" and was a T-Mobile UK Handset, I needed one that works with TESCO MOBILE and I did a swap with the guy next door to me for a broken iPhone 4s and to be honest I was sick of the Apple crap anyway!!!

So, my questions in no specific order are....

1) Is it rooted?

2) If I UNROOT it, will I lose the UNLOCKED to all networks that I need?

3) Is there a way to update the software on the phone if its rooted as I think I read somewhere that the firmware cannot be upgraded on a rooted phone?

4) How easy is it to install a new firmware?

For now, I think lol, thats it, so please any help appreciated!!

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
[1]

The phone needs to be rooted in order to network-unlock.

So yes, at one point it was rooted.

However that does not mean it still is rooted, most probably the seller reverted it back to stock after rooting. Flashing stock does not increment the counter (since it's official) so it's quite possible.

[2]

No. Networl lock and other details are stored in the /efs/ folder which has nothing to do with the ROM and kernel.

[3]

You can upgrade a phone if it is rooted without further customizations. However you'll loose root during the process.

If [1] is true, you're on full stock anyway.

[4]

Depends. If you want to switch to another ROM, it's of course harder than upgrade within a given ROM (stock, Omega, CM9, ...)

But by all means hard does not mean impossible, it just takes some time and preparation.

Some afterthought: your seller should've just used the (free in XDA, paid in Play) TriangleAway app which resets the Download counter to 0.

I'd recommend resetting it if you're planning on staying on stock since it'll make warranty claims far easier or even possible. You'll need root tough to get it working.

Btw: network-unlocking a S3 means flashing CF-Root (rooted stock kernel), installing a free app, running that app, installing TriangleAway, running Triangleaway, flashing default ROM and factory-reset.

All-in-one that means less than half an hour, so I hope you haven't paid much extra for that feature.

Hi,

How is Google Play Store upgrade delivered in HTC One X? I found a post on 3.7. 13 upgrade (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1744651)

Does T-mobile have anything between 4g and edge network? No 3G? Mine is either 4g or edge.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chamberc:
4G on TMobile is the 3G network with enhanced back-haul. So Edge is the fallback for 3G.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Yup is more like 3.5 or 3g on steroids, really fast but when you on edge is more like sprints network sometimes (at least where I am)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chamberc:
I did not find Tmobile to be very fast at all, not compared to Verizon. I had a Tmobile Dell Streak 7 and it was extremely slow compared to my wife's Razr.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
Well is not as fast as lte but much better then Verizon or sprints 3g from personal experience it does really good where I use it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] logicmarselis:
been on tmobile for 4 years. the fall back is Edge. 3g appears very rarely
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
I was on Verizon until last weekend. I had a Galaxy Nexus, and wife had a RAZR. Neither was as fast as this (when Im on 4G)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] davwman:
Holy crap that is fast. Hopefully my speeds on long island are that fast. So technically being that tmobile is 3g on steroids and not true 3g, battery life doesn't really suffer then?

No compare to wimax or lte but it does compare to edge tho
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djricekcn:
Tmobile has the best download speed but the crappiest upload speed where I live (Los Angeles area). However, upload is enough for normal internet usage since you usually don't upload stuff over cell phones..at least not I and most other people I know

Thanks for posting that. So my question then is how come I've never seen "3G" on my phone?its either "4G" or "E".
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Because T-Mobile thinks people are stupid and like to call their 3G network 4G. 4G is HSPA and HSPA+ combined to them.

Also it says "only seen while roaming" so they must not roam over 3G much.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wrath_Fred:
Hello,

I tried to flash Revolver 4.1.0 on my tablet and got stuck at Asus logo (with the circle)

my device is a TF101 B80,

I used CWM 3.2.0.1 and wiped everything prior to flash Revolver 4.1.0 then the update 4.1.1 without getting out of CWM.

The installed ROM before was SPARK ICS.

Should I flash a new Kernel? If so, should I flash it before or after the ROM and update?

Fred
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Flash the kernel over the ROM. Try doing this procedure..

1) wipe everything

2) flash 4.1

3) boot once, reboot into recovery

3a) wipe cache!

4) flash 4.1.1 patch

5) boot into it again, then back into recovery

6) wipe cache!

7) flash kernel

8) reboot, OS should work.

9) ???

10) Profit!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wrath_Fred:
Thats the kind od stuff I already Tried! But good news! I gave a try to "superwipe" and it did the trick for me!

so my solution so far was:

1) Superwipe

2) flash 4.1

2) flash 4.1.1 update

3) Boot succesfully!

4) Flash Guevor Kernel 22.6

5) ???

6) Profit!!!

So in other words this is a thank you to all devs that are here, all supporters that stick with the phone and all the people who make an impact. It is you who made me go back to the fassy over thunderbolt or buying a new phone (was gonna get a "Droid 4").

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tuffluck:
my company blocks cell signals for some asinine reason, but the worst part is that there is reception sometimes, so my phone is constantly searching for a signal throughout the day. i'm certain this is causing some unnecessary battery drop, and these days i'm awake and active for 16 hours a day and really want my battery to last that long. it wasn't a problem on previous phones of mine, but this phone uses a lot of battery in general.

is there an app that disables constant searching? i wish it could be automated...either there is a signal or there isn't, but if there isn't then there is no searching for one. or maybe it searches every half hour, i don't know. right now my only solution is to live with it or turn on airplane mode every time i enter my building and turn off airplane mode every time i leave, which i must admit is a big pain in the arse.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Rippley05:
Man, it should be illegal to block cell signals :-\ I get the idea of staying off the phone at work but if something happens to my kids and I have to wait however long to find out I'm gonna blow something up.

I think this phone is extra harsh when searching for a signal.. After a work night my "time without signal" varies from 30ish% to 50ish% and my battery is unforgiving as well.

I really don't think anything can be done other than turning off stuff like data, sync while roaming.

Typically they are blocking all RF signals, and it is a security measure to block "outgoing" signals, but impacts incoming as well, can't really effectively and cheaply do one without the other.

:D

Since stock Samsung Galaxy Ace rom's don't include a torch, I've decided to do a thread with all the torches I know work with Samsung Galaxy Ace. These apps enable the LED light (the camera one). Sorry I can't post images, so the link to the images will be posted instead, or just scroll down and see ANDROIDCUSTOMIZe post. (delete the space between the dot and the org, same for Google Play links).:P I know this isn't very useful, I'm only bored (as my name says :P). So let's get to it:

1. - LED Light

My favorite one, light, fast and does its job. :D It's really simple, it has a widget (1x1). Has some settings.

Images:

postimage.org/gallery/g44vhyg/ab53ba12/

Google Play:

tinyurl. com/7a8gqyq

2. - Tesla LED

Again, light, fast and does it's job quite well, problem is that, Google Play says it's not compatible with Samsung Galaxy Ace running some ROMs, if that's the case, find yourself an .apk file and install it (sorry, I can't provide apk's, XDA rules) :P. Has a widget (1x1), and a lot of settings. To get it to work, go to Settings, go down until you can't go more, select LED Method, and select setFlashlight (if this doesn't work, try other LED Methods).

Images:

postimage. org/gallery/15r9j3jo/cba11607/

Google Play:

tinyurl. com/cab3dps

3. - Tiny Flashlight

Same as before, few but useful settings. 7 different widgets all 1x1.

Images:

postimage. org/gallery/6jm3l1a/48449db3/

Google Play:

tinyurl. com/76kqb5j

4. - Flashlight HD LED

A bit slow, widget opens the app instead of turning on the LED directly, which makes it even slower, but does its job. You can also turn the display as a torch.

Images:

postimage. org/gallery/lqbdtie/a312d59d/

Google Play:

tinyurl. com/7rx9865

5. - Brightest Flashlight Free

Peculiar design, and as long as I know, doesn't have a widget. :S

Images:

can't screenshot the app, don't know why. :(

Google Play:

tinyurl. com/6t7mffw

6. - Flashlight LED Genius

Pretty smooth, and beatiful design and widget. The widget opens the app to turn on the LED, which, again, delays the turn on of the LED.

Images:

postimage. org/gallery/zr4l2lw/4b3e6f78/

Google Play:

tinyurl. com/7haxc3d

7. - MIUI Torch

Light torch, pretty nice UI, but you need to be root to install it.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] ImSoBored:
thanks for nice comment :P.

CM 7 is a very good torch indeed, but trouble is that stock roms and many other non-cm roms don't have this app, and I think you can't install it. Moreover sometimes, CM roms don't include the torch, or the torch simply doesn't work (my case), and if you try to install it manually you can't, it says "Application not installed", and no, deleting files in android_secure doesnt fix this, hope that helped... :P
