Type in dialpad

*#*#4636#*#*

Press phone info

Scroll down till SMSC and press the right update button. You should get it populated with the service center of your carrier. If you get an error message then you have a bug in your system that cannot be fixed. The solution will be flashing another rom.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lakinsdaddy:
yeah when i went to all that my smsc was blank. typed in the number they told me and hit update and it tells me update error. so what do i really need to do to fix? how can i get the OTA ICS update? or should i get a cooked rom?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lakinsdaddy:
ok so i flashed the arctic rom and everything works except text still. going to the dialer and typing in *#*#4636#*#* will not pull anything up so i can go change the smsc setting. any other way to get into that info?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] akaSlack:
I cant help you much either, but I tried the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing came up to me.

But I`m pretty sure the smsc number follows your simcard, so I think there is something wrong with your simcard not your phone!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
You need to flash a stock rom to get a new kernel. This is a system defect.

where can i find a stock rom for my phone? its gsm, and im in the united states. the phone is factory unlocked unbranded. so far i seem to only find cooked roms and stock roms from over the world
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lakinsdaddy:
ok so now the phone is stuck in what i believe is the boot screen. it stays on the motorola screen and wont do anything. i can however get into recovery but its the factory recovery. cant do anything. i have wiped everything and cant boot. cant even go back to reinstall the arctic rom. am i bricked now? what else could i try? really want to get this phone working again

Hi,

I was looking into an app called screen filter on the PlayStore/Android market and decided that it was really useful for my ICS-running Kindle fire. I was wondering if there was any way to make a similar app like this on Windows Phone 7 where i could have custom levels of brightness that would go below the "Low" mark on my windows phone.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] officerhacker:
guys sorry about posting again, but this thread is continues to the old one but with a different problem.

note: i tried to delete/close the old thread but i didn't know how.

any way, my problem is the volume of the person i am speaking to is extremely low

any way i tried many ways:

*apps like volume+ and equalizers.

*changing volume from service mode.

*changing kernel

*changing firmware

*updating firmware to the latest official

the funny thing

i use grooveip to call through google voice

the app has an option to increse speaker volume

when i increesed the volume i started hearing the voice a bit louder and then i noticed that the volume is coming from the back cover.

when i flip the mobile to the other side and i put my ear on the cover, i can hear the voice a little better but still extremely low :eek:

note : mobile lout speaker working correctly and when i plug the headphone i can hear very clear and loud. so the problem is only while i am on the ear speaker

i am confused, is it a hardware or a software problem ?

if the speaker is broken will there be voice coming out from the speaker ?

please advice and thanks in advance :good:

I have AOKP Milestone 6 installed and I love how it looks, especially the Hide Notification Bar option because it makes my TF feel more like a netbook when I have it docked. The only problem is that the long press shortcuts don't work on the keyboard (ex. long pressing the home key doesn't give me the recent apps menu, it just brings me to the home screen).

I was wondering if there was a way to re-map some of the shortcut keys in the top row (bluetooth toggle, camera, internet, etc...) to my own custom actions such as launching the recent apps menu, killing a window and bringing up the notification bar. I know it's possible to do this in Linux since I just did it for a remote that I use with XBMC (the remote emulates a keyboard), I just didn't know if they feature is extended to Android or not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
its possible but not easy. Some things can be remapped in the users/ect files such as ausec.(c something) but other more complex things like recent apps have to be done in framework-res.apk as far as i remember
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjlim:
Check out /system/usr/keylayout/asusec.kl.

I'm not sure if you can map keys to specific things like killing a window or bringing up the notification bar. However, recent apps is accessible through alt+tab (try it!) and so you may want to swap the Search and Alt keys.

EDIT: Some useful key names to look for and replace:

ALT_LEFT: left alt

ALT_RIGHT: right alt

SEARCH: search key

FORWARD_DEL: delete, as opposed to backspace. not mapped to anything by default

ESCAPE: escape key. I have this bound to the wifi key because I always accidentally hit it, and sometimes escape is useful in terminals or remote desktop
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
Thats right usr/keylayout not user/ect don't know what i was thinking there. I know there is a way to exchange the stupid alt-tab icon recent apps to the cards recent apps but i don't have time to do that right now. I was also going to work on getting a guide set up on how to remap everything because it seems to be a pretty common desire.

This isn't the first time I've flashed but this is the first time I've encountered this much trouble so here's the story:

I've put in a CWN-Based recovery, and I've tried to flash OverDrive ROM, when I boot into the ROM I get a blank screen and nothing happens. I've tried adding the PicaSticks Kernel to is as well, and I get a red "Hello" (not the a full startup screen) and then back to the blank again. I also tried one other ROM (the name escapes me), both ROM's claiming to have the blank screen fixed.

Also, If I flash to a Gingerbread, and my phone has been activated once before (it's off right now I have paid it yet this month), do I still need a Froyo before I can upgrade it to Gingerbread?

Any help at all with this is appreciated, thanks in advanced.

Update: I got Xionia to flash into it and I've wiped all the things it says to do prior to installing, then I'm installing Overdrive 2.2 (Android 2.2.2) de-odexed and I get a blank screen still. Not sure what to try from here. I also cannot even flash a different kernel. I feel so stupid here.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] joseluisbz:
Hi team

I want to know if is possible to obtain an apk file from xxxx.tar.md5 file.

I want to interchange files of image (firmware) without install process.

Thank you.

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] dhananjaipai:
Yes u can get it :D

Well, THis is the First thing you should do.

Here are the steps:

-> Download a Firmware of your choice from the above link.

-> If you Firmware is in .zip format, be sure to extract the FW to a folder.

-> In the folder, you should find a PDA file ( The file which use put in the PDA place when you flash using ODIN)

-> Install 7-Zip if you dont have it, if you have it...Proceed to next step

->Right Click on the PDA file and open the archive using 7-zip.

-> Now, you can see a file named "system.rfs" or "factoryfs.rfs" or "systemFS.rfs", just copy the file to your C:\ (YOU CAN COPY IT ANYWHERE. I am taking C:\ as my base location)

Part II - Extracting RFS

-> Download and Open MagicISO.

->Click on File-> Open and browse to the place where you have your extracted system.rfs or factoryfs.rfs or systemfs.rfs.

-> Now, you should be able to see many folders like lib,system,xBin,vendor,etc.

-> Copy ALL the folders to your desired location. Be sure to put all of them in a folder called system. For example, In C:\ , create a folder called ROM and create a sub-folder called "system" and put the files there.

First, Go to the folder where you extracted the ROM and then go to \System\App.

Here, you can find ALL the applications which are un-installable by the user.

So, If you want to REMOVE apps, you can remove them and their .odex's. But, be sure, For what apps you are planning to keep, DONT REMOVE THE ODEXES.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] joseluisbz:
Thank you...

It's possible extract all files in charge of 3G connection (HSDPA) for take them and put them in other mobile?

if you mean a different model phone then nope, i guess mini would work but surely not any other device

I would REALLY appreciate some help with this please, because after 10 reflashes, I still can't find the problem. I've been trying to flash the Darkside Evolution ROM ( latest T-Mobile version ) on my phone. Everything seems to work fine, until I start restoring my text messages, at which point, all hell breaks lose. My stock messaging app just brings up a black screen and eventually FCs, Google Play keeps FCing as well, and occasionally, no keys typed in any of my keyboard apps show up in the fields selected. Reboots don't help.

Here's how I've been flashing ( running CWM 5.0.2.7 non-touch ): 1. flash darkside super wipe. 2. flash ROM. 3. flash darkside cache-wipe. 4. let system sit 10 minutes before toying with it. I've also tried flashing the cache-wipe after the 10 minute system sit, but I still have issues.

Here's what I've tried, with no success:

1. Searching the forums for any possible solution, but to no avail.

2. Mainly use GoSMS to backup & restore texts, but also tried SMS Backup & Restore and GoBackup instead, with same results, if not worse.

3. Re-ODINed to stock, rooted and flashed CWM again .

4. Checked MD5 checksum of all files I've said I've used; all are verified as correct.

5. Tried Settings->Applications, and deleting cache / data for troubled apps. Only fixes issue with Google Play.

5. Tried different ROMs ( Juggernaut v5.0 and Darkside Digital Warfare v2.7-( my somewhat stable DD until now) months ago, and Infamous 2.6-(worked after a couple of tries, but missing features I need) and Darkside Evolution v7 the past few days ).

TL;DR - Restoring SMS breaks any Rom I flash. Help please?

I used to use Titanium Backup to restore sms & mms. But now I use Go Backup and hadn't had any issues. Every time I've used SMS Backup. I would get issues of the app freezing. I'm using TWRP for my recovery. I know some Dev's say not to use it but I haven't had one issue with it at all.

When you do restore your SMS & MMS are you rebooting your device right after?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DIMENSIONAL:
Thanks for the reply. I've mostly used GoSMS Backup, but I've tried SMS Backup & Restore, Go Backup, and TiBu ( with "Migrate System Data" checked ) this week, but all of them cause random issues. I've been hesitant about using TWRP because a lot of people don't recommend it, but I don't mind giving that a shot if it won't brick my phone. Is there anything I should know about using it?

And sometimes I reboot right after an SMS/MMS restore, and sometimes I try to access the messages before rebooting. With TiBu, I always reboot first now. Either way, I still have issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LBN1:
I'm also on DarksideEvolution.3.v7, and have used SMS Backup and Restore without any issues. Also used SMS Backup+ without issues. I've restored anywhere from 400-800 +/- messages. How many text messages are you trying to restore? My only thought, was if your backup has thousands of messages, it may cause a memory issue that causes the hang ups.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DIMENSIONAL:
I'm trying to restore about 12,000 text messages... :rolleyes:

I was able to get DarksideEvolution3v7 completely working once, except that my GPS wasn't working, so I was going to wait until TDJ releases an update with a GPS fix until I try Darkside again. I haven't used SMS Backup+ because I don't want to use cloud services, and SMS Backup & Restore is one of the best working ones right now. I just tried GoBackup again, and after about 65%, it force closed with some kind of unknown exception error, and no texts showed even after a reboot.

That's your issue. Had it happen to me awhile back. Had to do some manipulation to get it to work. I forget the details exactly unfortunately. However, I do recall it was related to The max limiter in the messaging app and had to go with handcent, adjusted max sms settings higher prior to SMS refresh. Then had some issues with mMs which is the part I forget
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
Tb has the xml backup feature now, that might help since the backup file is smaller, so maybe memory isn't such an issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DIMENSIONAL:
I was afraid it might be something like that. I've had issues with previous phones restoring texts when I start hitting around 10k messages, but nothing this severe, and I figured that our SGSII's processing power should be able to handle it. I've been making sure that under the stock messaging settings, "Delete Old Messages" is always unchecked, but I'm not sure if that's what the max limiter is.

And do you know if there's anything special that I have to do to activate that TiBu feature? I saw it in my changelog when I updated, but I wasn't sure.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
As anyone with a Tegra 3 powered device (Transformer Prime here) knows, the tegra includes a pretty powerful h264 encoder that's used by the video camera to produce 1080p videos. My question is, would it be possible to utilize that encoder for transcoding? I've spent the past few hours googling and can't find anything. What do you guys thing?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuzzifikation:
You are looking at serious kernel hacking - IF it is even possible. And then you would need to know the internals of the Tegra 3 - plus I would assume that the C compiler doesn't support all these individual parts of the encoder. . That might mean direct assembler writing without documentation. BUT.. I may well be wrong.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parastie:
Hmmm...I was hoping a simpler solution would be possible. Since all camera apps are able to access the coding, but I suppose that's built into the camera api itself. It's a shame the encoder isn't exposed as well as the decoder part is.

My thoughts were to 'trick' the camera API into reading the frames from a video as frames from the camera. You'd just have to make sure the frame rates and resolution match what's supported, then do the audio separately. Would that be easier?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] quattro_driver:
Noob alert. First post, first rom.

Thought it about time I had a go at hacking my Hero and thought I’d better start with a rom that seemed stable. I chose the ArmSense_XE_0.6.130 Android2.3.5+sense3.5 on this forum.

Root and install of the custom recovery was painless.

Flashed this rom and all seemed well. The first thing I thought I’d try was maps, as I want to check gps functionality, but no maps app to be found. I then remember reading in this forum that custom roms rarely contain the Google apps. I found, downloaded and flashed the 20110828 version of gapps (in the same way as I flashed the initial rom, but without doing a wipe first, I hope this is right).

Still no maps. I know they can be downloaded from the market (play), but the market app seems to fail. When I select it the screen goes white for a few seconds and then returns without displaying any error. Not wanting to give up I visited play via the browser, but this would not let me download directly to the phone either, as it reported that I must use the phone app to visit the site first.

I’ve obviously visited the market many times before on this phone, and am sure I set my Google account up properly during the setup. (though googlemail has changed to gmail during the time between I originally setup the phone and now).

The upshot of all this is that I have these questions:

Generally have I done the right things?

Should I have the maps and come to that gmail, which I now notice is also missing?

Any ideas on the problem with the market app?

And lastly, I was sort of expecting the same clock as shown on the op of the ArmSense_XE development thread be the default, but this is not the case. I quite like it. What is it and where does it come from?

Restored to my original stock 2.1 configuration for now.

Thanks in advance
