[HTC Wildfire S] mgsdude:
Hi all i seem to be having a problem with the GPS in my phone, I have tried numerous roms and also edited my gps config to change the server to the nearest one to me (uk.pool) and also the port to 7276 like in modpunks config, but it always shows me 77 + miles from my original location, I have tried leaving GPS status (and GPS test running for hours but it hardly picks up any satellites (done this outside also) it just shows 1 green ring (not a dot like it did do one time) and doesn't lock on at all it just drains my battery. Is there anything at all I can do?

EDIT: I am running MIUI v4 (latest release from this forum)

What are you using as a solution to the lack of Flash support from Jelly Bean?

Or is there a solution? I watch some streaming TV from a Korean website, but it's all Flash based.

I see on the Nexus forums that they have the APK. I wonder if it will work on our Notes?

You should not flash them. Just unzip it, transfer the .apk in your sd-card, and install them via a file manager. Make sure you have enabled install from unknown sources, in the settings ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ccrobin:
My USB connection is FUBAR. Computer won't even recognize when I plug the device in (though the prime will charge when usb plugged in).

Until I figure out what is wrong with my USB connection (many others seem to be having this issue as well), I am wondering if it is possible to get root?

I'm on US .28 (I have not unlocked my bootloader). I have tried the debugfs automated root, but without my USB connection working it is useless for me. Can I put the files on my SD card and run the commands from a terminal on the prime itself?

Since I've updated my firmware my wireless tether does not work. I have tried several different roms. I have ICS generic check along with fix and whatever the other is. My computers will connect to the phone but, the phone will not retrieve any information from the web. I have check on several computers running different OS.

Does anyone have any ideas that may help.

If you're going to say, "thread closed. please post in the existing firmware thread", please be a bit more helpful and give a link to the existing firmware thread you're referring to.

Hmm...what?

Edit: You are right. I don't see any existing lg6 thread.
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Do you mean the existing firmware thread that all firmware posts are supposed to be put in .

The one called Stock Official Firmwares even the Guides and Roms official firmware makes it only a choice of two .

Message to mods should go via report thread if you want them to read it .

jje
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
i didn't even bother to request the mod to not close that one because that happened to blfb thread when it was new then they reopened it since the official firmware thread is getting cluttered thus i thought they would do the same for this one.

since that didn't happen, i'd like to request to re-open that thread and rename it to XXBLG6 new features so as to save the other main thread from clutters and this one will be specific only to new xxblg6 ; it will be easier to search what's new.

All I'm saying is what I said - it would have been *more* helpful to have put a link to the thread chrisd1a1 (which ever of the two you're on about, I dunno, I'm even more confused) in the "closing" post. Simples, no?

Re. second part, I'd rather open the issue up for discussion than keep it backroom, ta very muchly.
[Galaxy S III General] veyka:
Closed, if you have a problem with a mod, feel free to PM them.

Also, take a look at the rules

There is two stock firmware thread, stickied in this subsection, just open them and read, one is more of a guide as well, the other just a list of download links, but you would know this if you had clicked on them.

Also there is a sticky that should help guide you to which forum subsection you need to be in to find stuff.

Also.. as mods we have multiple forums to look after, do you really want us, as well as moving misplaced threads around, keeping the peace, and everything else we do, to do your research for you? I think not.

If you have a problem with this post, or anything else, feel free to PM me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leighto.:
Hi All,

I'm looking to publish a pay for version of my free application. It's all ready to go and I foolishly thought I'd just need to set the price I wanted to sell the thing for and Google would sort out all the tax concerns etc. What a fool I was and after searching online I'm not the only one to have fallen into this quagmire.

I'm hoping that amoungst the wonderful people in these forums that there is a UK app developer who has been through this (what looks to be a) traumatic step and can give me some brief advice/guidance as to what I should be doing to do this properly.

An idea of questions I have are

1. Do I need to register a business before diving into this?

2. As a UK resident do I need to be gathering and paying the US (or other) buyers tax as well as my own VAT? If so, how?

3. What else don't I know about?

I realise that this advice should come from a trained professional accountant but as I don't know any (or think this current app is going to generate a revenue worthy of paying a professional) I'm hoping the developing community would be willing to share their experience. I'm happy to take this offline if need be, I'd just appreciate any pointers in the right direction.

(I have seen a few topics on this site vaguely around the same theme but not from a UK perspective, if there is a thread I should see then please direct me to that, but I have tried to find one already, honest!)

Thanks in advance,

Leighton.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
I'm not sure what quagmire you refer to, google take fees and taxes out for you. Just specify the price of your app and upload it, they even automatically set right tax for you.

It was a year ago I set an account up but if I never registered as a business, don't think you have to.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leighto.:
This is not the impression that I get from their T's and C's. It explicitly says that google pass on the tax to you and it is tour responsibility to ensure this is dealt with correctly. Am I misinterpreting that or does it not apply to the UK? Does everyone else agree with Dave and I'm making something out of nothing? :confused:

Cheers,

Leighton.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leighto.:
Just to show you why I'm thinking that we do need to take notice of the tax. Here is a link to one of the latest notifications I had in the Google Play publisher site.

{linked removed due to newbie status/possible spam risk}

It explicity says, "Keep in mind that Google will continue to pass on the entire tax amount collected to the developer, and calculate the 30% transaction fee off the net price of the product. For example, if your tax inclusive price is 10GBP and your VAT is 20% (as set by the developer in the Google Merchant Center), then Google will first calculate your net price (8 GBP) and then apply a 30% transaction fee to that amount (2.4GBP fee). The developer would then receive 7.6GBP (includes tax collected)."

I'm pretty sure this is something I need to atleast understand properly before continuing.

Leighton.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
My apologies, because I only have one for sale app and don't have to pay taxes (falls below minimum level of earning at which tax is applied) I knew google add the tax rate automatically but forgot that the developer pays it to tax office.

Here are the uk vat rules.

http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/start/register/when-to-register.htm

Basically you don't register to pay vat on your apps unless you earn £77,000 a year or more from them.

So if you are earning more than that you pay them the pounds per app sold that you owe as tax but not otherwise. In my case I don't have to pay vat.

A thread about the browser "Dolphin"'s security issues brought me to the question if there is an easy way to determine weather apps are sending critical or sensitive data somewhere?

Or what possibilities there are at all to determine it.

And unfortunately there is no app by the bank to do it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SachinShekhar:
Detection by own:

1. De-compile the app with apktool and analyse its source code. You should de-compile even if the app is open source.

2. Use WireShark to analyse whole traffic.

Causions:

1. Use Permission Fix app to remove suspicious permission of app.

2. Use only popular apps. Popular apps are monitored by community and security companies. So, you'd never need to do detection by your own. Just, make sure you've subscribed to security mailing lists.

3. Use a nice Anti-virus. It can notify you about privacy risk, too.

4. Install only trusted apps. Many companies provide Trust seal for apps. For example, TrustGo Anti-virus and Amazon App Store.

Sprint does not want to work a plan to pay easily monthly or they will charge me fees . you know for great costumer service I myust say they suck big time. any suggestions
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tgruendler:
Ummm....pay the fees and deal with it? You cancelled the contract, you have to pay the fees.

Edit:

Better yet...sell the phones that you kept and pay your fees. The only reason your bill is that high is because you have atleast 2 smart phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] majmuni:
you work for sprint is that it sprint service sucks buddy and you will see one day when you need your phone the most
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Compusmurf:
Why would you expect them to work with you? You broke the contract, you KNEW there were fees attached to breaking the contract.

There's dozens of ways to get out of the contract without paying a dime, but you chose the FEE route and you expect them to work with you?

You owe them $, they want their $, what else is there? If you want to fight with them, easier to take it to small claims court, which, you will probably still lose and have court fees at the same time.

Your alternative is "don't pay", and you'll screw up your credit after it goes to collections and you probably won't have to worry about cell phone bills any longer because most other providers won't touch you after they see you defaulted on another carrier.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arionfrost:
Yeah here's a suggestion:

Learn to read and write beyond a sixth grade reading level. If you could read and comprehend words clearly typed out on that piece of paper commonly referred to as a contract and/or Terms of Service that you got when you signed up for your service, you would come to understand that if you decided to cancel your contract you would owe sprint an early termination fee for up to $350 per phone, plus any outstanding balance tied to your account.

If you could read the posting rules for the general section of the Samsung Epic 4g Touch forum, you would understand that this isn't the place to talk about contract issues, sprint customer services issues, or billing issues. Nobody cares. Take it someplace else.

Also, learn to articulate, whether you post on this forum or any other. :rolleyes: Watch me. I am virtually rolling my eyes at your atrocious spelling and grammar.

Mods, close this thread please.

Don't work for Sprint, sorry.

I have had Sprint for over 10 years in the St. Louis area and never had any issues at all with them. I am sorry that you had a bad experience with them and I wish you the best of luck with another carrier but once again, you signed the contract and then cancelled. You cancelled for a reason (not sure what, you didn't enlighten us) but you still cancelled. If Sprint wasn't holding up their end of the bargain, you could have called numerous times complaining and opening tickets with them and probably could have gotten out of your contract ETF free, but from what I am suspecting, you didn't make the effort to do this so you are stuck.

Once again, good luck with whatever carrier you go with and have fun paying those ETFs.

First, you may install Betterbatterystats, so it's easier to understand apk consume battery in the background.

Then you may install the new kernel siayh, the 3.4.1, it seems more parsimonious.

Finally install EXtweaks, excellent utility to set various parameters of the kernel.
