[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxhoundep3:
hello everyone,

been out of the scene for a while, and I just sold my dell streak, however, the new owner cannot use his new dell streak as its locked to AT&T. I obtained an unlock code from them by calling them, but the streak is on MIUI and the menu that ask for the unlock number does not come up, is there any other way to do this? do I have to flash an original android firmware to it? Thanks in advance.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
you said it is sim unlocking... therefore (usually) it is phone related locking... not from at&t... there should be a menu for security > sim card lock
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxhoundep3:
im just trying to unlock the phone to be used with TMobile, it is locked to AT&T not sure if it's phone or sim. AT&T gave me a code to unlock it but when I insert the sim the menu to unlock it doesn't pop up
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deysmacro:
open Settings > Security and search for something similar to sim card lock... you should get something from there...

if you get nothing.. most probably the phone is network locked... my phone is network unlocked where i can insert any sim... and it does have sim card lock in case there is someone else want to use the phone and use another sim card in it...
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManii:
If you mean CARRIER unlocking and not the sim card itself, you have to install a stock rom. Sim unlocking isnt exactly something that can be easily tested on a custom rom, so that's your only reliable way of doing so.

If you mean the actual sim card itself, cant help ya

Which is better?

I'm using CM7.2 right now, and what I want to know about swedish snow is:

- Has better performance?

- Has better battery performance than CM7.2?

Thank You.

Agreed, KonstaT is a bloody genius and the work he put in with SS was incredible. THAT is a true dev.

I'm running his ICS build right now and it's the best ICS there is, if i can get this damn dualboot to work (i can get grub to boot but since the SD card isn't mounted i can't start anything not in internal memory) i'll be running his JB too.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ILuvRice:
Should be very similar as how you flashed the rom you currently have. Not to be a smartass but the op also posted instructions on how to flash. You just need to download the rom and the current gapps for jb and flash using twrp or cmw. Great rom too. For me not quite ready for a daily driver but really good.

I did do exactly what he said to do. I used GooManager. It still didn't work.

Just download the ROM and gaaps you want put on your SD card(internal SD is fine) whipe data, cache ect. Use twrp to install. I prefer twrp because you can install everything in one shot. Hope you figure it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jayRokk:
People shouldn't be flashing anything if they're asking how to uninstall a ROM...

If you have no knowledge then why risk it??

Read read read read read

And idk how much I can emphasize this but READ

This isn't a help hotline or a help website with walk thrus.. there is YouTube for that..

The OP of every ROM or port or hack or mod has detailed instructions on how to flash a ROM and the requirements.

If you can't figure it out by reading and having a some what knowledge of what's going on....stay away from flashing..

That's how we get all the "I bricked my phone help" threads...

Subject say it all

Im confused between I9100 and Motorola Atrix 4G

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3709&idPhone2=3621

I dont care about screen size or performance as both is dual-core or battery

All i care is the Solid Build cause i considered to be a bad user and its very likely to drop the phone and i want a phone can handle a bad Handler

I already have Motorola Defy but i want i a better performance and a phone equiped with 1GB ram and dual-core cpu
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Well based on the link you gave, the s2 is a better device. But if I was you, I would go to the dev section of both devices and see which one is better.

But if I was choosing, I would get the s2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanmillet:
consider this...

With whatever phone you buy you need to remember it is a PHONE... it will break.. the i9100 is an EPIC phone and was my best phone purchase to date.... Motorola builds a damn strong phone... BUT I promise you will enjoy the i9100 more.. it is one of the most developed phones on xda and has an awesome following.. you will get better OS support and faster releases... get the i9100, invest in a nice case.., root it, and flash Resurrection Remix Rom... you will be a happy camper..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarekh020:
I highly appreciate your help and feel grateful

Im also feels good towards S2 but i wait for Atrix Opinions as you advised ,

Honestly Motorola Defy is the STRONGEST phone ever bought , simply life proof and if you want to break it ,you wont have success easily.

For the Motorola opinion I would recommend that you post this in their forum too. I don't know anyone who has both devices

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezesolares:
I have both phones and the s2 is way way better than the atrix 4g if not only because of the screen. I also tested both devices running cm10 tho you still don't have a proper camera or hw accel on the atrix.

now about the build quality, I always loved Motorola for this and the s2 feels like it could break with anything but with a good case and some care, you would be safe.

All in all, I would go for the s2

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaithCry:
The problem:

I will leave my tab unattended for several hours for reasons such as sleep or work and then come back to turn on my tab. I'll start typing or replying emails and then I will go to the settings via the notification bar. Then I see my keyboard being ghosted in the gradient background for about 10 seconds. I continue to write my emails and hit settings back and forth quickly to see if it persists, and it does.

But after a couple on/off flicks over the course of half an hour to an hour, the ghosting will stop....such that I write an email in the same fashion as before and then hit settings but I won't see the ghosting off the keyboard.

Had anyone experienced the same phenomenon?

[NFC Hacking] Amanoo:
Possibly a bit of a dangerous thing to ask about, but I heard about a researcher named Charlie Miller uncovering an exploit through which he could do some fancy hacking on Android phones just by having them scan a NFC tag. I am interested in these hacks, using the old saying "it's not a bug, it's a feature", it could not only be used to perform malicious activities, but also enhance the possibilities of NFC. I seek to use this enhancement. My biggest idea in mind yet is use a tag to make a phone connect to wifi. It may seem like a simple idea, but you need additional software just to make the phone connect to wifi, since giving the command to connect is not standardized. This does impede the potential of NFC a bit, and me being the sort of person who keeps on messing around with his phone ROMs (believe me, my S3's flash count is skyrocketing), computer hardware and Linux distro's because it is never good enough simply can't just leave untweaked hardware and unremoved limitations alone.
[NFC Hacking] x10man:
There should be a command to turn wifi on? That's the closest you can probably do without installing software

[NFC Hacking] Amanoo:
As far as I know, officially the command has to be launched from an app that has the permissions to do so. As far as I know a bit of hacking is required to do it in another way.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Esra:
Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but is anyone else having issues with their case blocking sound?

Seems that without a case, the camera sticking out a bit means that when you put the phone on it's back, the speaker is clear of the table etc.

however with a case on, the case is flush with the table and blocks the sound from the speaker getting out.

Means that ring tones, music etc are all very low compared to if the phone is on it's front.

Don't really know if there's anyway to fix it except for not having a case.

I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket battery cover (stock is too slippery) and maybe ditching the cover.

i use the phone for music a lot and having to choose between sound volume and seeing the controls is annoying.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rirozizo:
i'm a real idiot when it comes to creating a code... i can read and understand code, but not make it.

what i want is to change /sys/class/leds/jogball-backlight/brightness file...

this file controls the trackball light... i want it to be flashing (smoothly) constatly, even when asleep to know that my phone is alive...

so, default briightness value is 0 (as in OFF)... flashing smoothly is 7. so i just changed the file from 0 to 7... the trackball became flashing... so far so good.

i locked the phone and let it go to sleep... the trackball suddenly stopped.

i checked the file again, and it got replaced from 7 back to 0.

so what i want is a script that periodically sets the value to 7 to keep the trackball flashing.

any help?

This sounds like a bad idea that is going to ruin your trackball led and drain the hell out of your battery. Why would your phone ever not be "alive"? What is the point of this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rirozizo:
the point of this is because i use beta/test mods and ROMs, i sometimes see the phone "dead" as in i should boot it again and remove the beta mod to fix it... so i should at least know that the phone is alive only with looking at it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
going in via adb shell seems like a less destructive way to know if your phone is "alive", since if you can't get in via adb, then the trackball led indicator is rather pointless even if it keeps looping.

If kies says you that u r on the last update (and u r having a stock rom from your location) is because it isn't released it yet to your location.

try flashing an ICS that is from a nearby location via ODIN

Root doesn't matter.

If you installed the sounds with a flashable zip then when you're actually pushed a ota it will fail to install automatically because of the custom recovery. It will install manually though as long as the ota doesn't check the stock roms sounds. Not sure if it does but you can just look in the updater script in a ota and look to see if it checks for the sounds.
[HTC One X] RabbiDreed:
Because of horror stories in the UK about HTC warranty response I decided to attempt to fix the WiFi issues myself. I did it and the signal is now infinitely better. But... in the process I somehow managed to break the MIC.

Here are some details:

MIC not working through handset when making phone call.

MIC is working when recording video (different MIC?)

Audio test using test code *#*#3424#*#* shows MIC is NOT working

Other forms of MIC input, e.g. BlueTooth are OK

This makes me believe that in the process of fixing the WiFi, either through heavy handedness in case removal or some accidental misake when phone was open, I have invoked a hardware fault.

Dos anybody have any ideas on how to resolve? What visible circuits (when open) affect the MIC for calls?

Any help welcome. I don't really want to write off the investment in this phone. :crying:

1) wiped everything (data/factory reset, cache, dlvlink, formatted /boot)

2) installed the rom (install from zip)

3) rebooted into recovery

4) installed gapps

5) reboot into Miui

6) installed play store apk,
