[NFC Hacking] diigibio:
Really sorry if this post offends anyone. I have checked this section of the forum plus google search to answer my query without any luck.

My question is: Is there any way to extend the NFC Transmission Range? I have recently bought a battery case for my HTC One X and it adds half a centimeter to the phone which NFC can't transmit through (I understand this could be interference with battery if the battery if located behind NFC Sensor. I only need an extra centimeter (maybe even half a centimeter. I've looked in app market and can't find any NFC signal/transmission/booster app. Don't even know if possible. But just thought I would ask my good friends at XDA. If not no big loss.

Thanks
[NFC Hacking] NFC Guy:
As far as I'm aware, there would be no way to extend the range other than adding your own antenna extension. This would obviously require taking apart your One X.
[NFC Hacking] diigibio:
OK, thank you very much for your answer. :D
[NFC Hacking] irish.iolar:
Why would this offend someone? j/c
[NFC Hacking] Entropy512:
The battery case (which has metal in it) is likely acting as a shield.

NFC transmission distance is highly variable. When reading smartcards it's only a centimeter or so. When in card emulation mode it depends on the reader - most payment terminals only have 1-2cm range. However, a larger reader (such as the ones at the gates where I work) have 1-2 foot range.
[NFC Hacking] diigibio:
I thought that it could be because of the battery but wasn't completely sure. Great piece of information though. Thanks :)

@Irish.iolar I'm pretty clued up with many things technology wise, but there are still millions if not billions of things I'm either totally clueless about or unsure off. And everything I have learned has been through reading, searching (self-taught) or thanks to the great people on this forum. I have tried searching the usual places for this bit of information and was surprised to find so little on it to be honest. The reason I usual start when asking such a question like the one in this topic is because I have seen countless people being flamed etc for similar questions. And I'm not talking about "billy" I no nothing about tech but got my new device and I'm gonna just ask something we deem silly. I'm talking about other guy/gals with some experience getting slammed. "But if you don't ask?"

I would have thought the top of the phone would have been a better place for the NFC chip but maybe space re-straights. Will just have to take phone out of case when I need to NFC something.

Thanks for all your help and useful comments.

Your friendly XDA member.

Phil ;)
[NFC Hacking] sysadmn:
On the HTC One X, where are the antennas? Are they built into the battery, the phone, or the back phone cover? On my Nexus S, they're in the phone's back cover. If you buy an extended battery for the Nexus S, you have to make sure the battery cover has NFC antennas, or your range is really, really bad.

[Motorola Atrix 2] shkrs:
Could you please help me how to make my music player/ galley recognize media files placed in root folders.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
what do you mean by "root folders"

if you mean the internal storage, like /data and /system, it really just depends on the app. I think poweramp will let you select other folders, but others may not.
[Motorola Atrix 2] espeyboi:
Jet audio also let's you select other folders
[Motorola Atrix 2] shkrs:
Yes, i meant internal memory. Is it possible to make music player/ gallery recognize media files placed in internal memory....

Currently i can use internal memory to save data just as in a flash drive. And if i want to play any media, i have to manually browse to the media location using an explorer and play.

Simply put, Is it possible to play music/ videos in stock apps without an sd-card inserted?

I want music files preview to be shown in music player, pictures and videos preview in gallery.

And poweramp and jet audio are showing a message that an sd-card is not inserted.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
There is no way. The internal storage is for apps only. You have to use a external sd for all media.
[Motorola Atrix 2] shkrs:
Im just curious to know how developers of htc-one-x without an sd-card and others like samsung-s2 on at&t carrier have managed to make the same possible.
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:

[Optimus One, P500, V General] lipe082:
HI O1 users KDZ is bricking a lot of phones around here i hope this guide and files i provide help avoid that.

to learn how to use LGMDP use this guide and read it more than once if necessary:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1149530

Now when you need to flash recovery ,baseband ,system or all partitions use LGMDP not KDZ

the safest way so LGMDP dont touch NV file that can result in a useless phone you guys put phone in emergency mode and conect to pc and LGMDP

following the guide above "Click Image Folder button" you choose the folder i provide with V20I to flash by LGMDP and if your phone already have custom recovery, just uncheck the recovery.img after you select path and all partitions that will be flashed appears, so you flash a stock firmware unrooted but with custom recovery already...

LGMDP V20I UPDATE: http://www.mediafire.com/?yz00j0whx9sxck0

for those who just want to flash stock and have custom recovery i provide a zip to flash by recovery

v20i for flash by recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?ppoz93nsf8wns4r

hope this help avoiding bricks but use LGMDP with phone in emergency mode is more safe because dont toutch NVFILE but you can do it by normal way if are already using the software

just my 2cents if this helps someone just press thanks and maybe i will add others versions of stock roms maybe...;)

TI processors are sold in sets of 10,000 last time I checked so in terms getting hardware it may be difficult to say the least.

I would love to do this myself but it just seems so expensive to get the hardware, I wish dell would do with phones what they did to computers.

Imagine if you could pick your cpu, ram, radio etc then choose your case.

Alas I wait for said company

So in short I don't think it's possible
[General Questions and Answers] system.img:
You can if you want. You will need to buy the specific hardware from the vendor and have very good electronic knowledge.

Then you can compile an Android rom for the specific hardware.

But my only doubt is whether the hardware company from which you buy the hardware will provide all necessary drivers and codecs(which are mostly closed source)

In short, it is possible but it is not worth the effort!

parts of the device which will come from different country, assembling and developing rom for device will cost you more than actual device available in market plus your time wasted in waiting for parts, assembling/developing rom then testing your device on both hardware and software level

its better to buy device rather than doing all this..

Hi guys, there is a wifi problem with my phone currently. WIFI randomly disconnected and reconnected in about 5 seconds, and I am afraid it is a hardware problem, so I decide to handover it to the vodafone repair center. However, my phone has been rooted before, so I was wondering if after I install the TriangleAway and reset flash counter then the repair center wouldn't know I've rooted my phone? Do I have to do anything else to make sure? Thanks very much.

Hi Dr Ketan

The guide is great. I have a question. I'm on a stock rooted 4.0.3 and would like to upgrade to 4.0.4. How can I do it using mobile Odin pro and keeping my data intact? Can I use the non wipe ROM in your other thread and then check on the everroot and inject superuser option?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Just follow STEP C in above guide.

All ICS ROM are non wipe. yes keep ever root and super user inject enable.

Just wipe cache and delvec cahe post flash to keep ur data intact.

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

Is there anyway to do the full process using only PC Odin and eliminating the need of Mobile Odin Pro..

I personally dont like to spend money on the app ..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
PC odin will erase root. you will have to flash safe kernel with PC odin, that will raise counter and you need to reset it using Triangle away.

Okay .. got it .. Will give it a thought .. Thanks again :)

Thanks Dr Ketan.

Another question. For custom kernal, any ICS kernal in the chasmodo thread will do?

---------- Post added at 02:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

Another noob question...

Why do I need a custom Kernal? The stock ROM file that was downloaded already have a kernal inside right? If needed, I have chosen the official CM9 kernal "Kernel_CM9_20120806_CWM_Flashable.zip". Is that ok? i've repack this to .tar using filzip software.

Also, can I select the inject Mobile ODIN as well when flashing?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Fixed :)

You hav to go for TW based ICS kernel

CM9 won't work

as i said mobile odin need kernel in .tar file. zip format won't work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kevinhwc:
Hi Dr.

Can I not choose a kernal and just flast the stock rom with everroot, inject superuser and inject mobile odin selected?

---------- Post added at 06:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 AM ----------

If I must choose a kernal, can I use Notecore 12?

I'll be upgrading to the ROM below. Will the kernal from Notecore work?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
If you don't choose kernel, then your device will be rooted but won't have safe kernel. So you you have to not to wipe anything b'coz your kernel will not have emmc brick bug driver disabled. In short i don't recommend it.

yes notecore kernel .tar version will work

Thats usually just caused by difference in kernel/cwm. If you reflash the previous kernel you should be able to restore the backup.

Hi,

I've got some trouble to get a proper root mod on my phone. After i used some of the hints which can be found in this forum i didn't managed to get it running.

History of my mod-trys:

I got it running until i patched my stock Rom to the latest version via fota. (the feature pack for German roms)

Then i tried to go back to a stock Rom here at the forum - but with little success. I installed it but important not able to get the root mod running without errors.

This is a screenshot of superuser:

If i try to update i am getting an error.

Sadly i don't know what to do now to get this fixed. Iused many fresh installs / cleanup etc but everytime i install the update.zip via recovery - its messed up.

try to flash CWM with ODIN.. do not use adb shell because it needs root.. the try flash another ROM.. IT'S VERY RISKY.. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKED
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Ndysilon:
i've got cwm at the moment installed. As far as i understood the "root / unroot" thread it's not recommended to use this while rooting via recovery.

i used cwm to create a backup of my system and i rolled back it many times - so - thats working fine.

But my problem is that i don't find a suiteable custom rom for me - because it has to be "as stock as possbile". Meaning - i'm doing much development and testing with that phone - so it's not good if the mod can do things which i can't do with a stock rom. (Rooting is ok - i can handle that "mod" - if it works :) )

But i'm not firm enough with android core development to fix the root problem right now. Are there any manuals to use the "USB Debugging" Shell? I'm able to use that, too.

OR - if exsists - is there any _german_ stock rom out including the "value pack" addon? I just found a stock rom which is missing that. I guess there's coming with the value pack that causes rooting via update.zip going mad :(
