These kinda threads always make me laugh. If you want privacy, lock yourself in your house and never go outside, never go online, never use your phone, send a "trusted" person to buy your groceries.

What are they gonna do? Sneak in, steal the hot pics your gf sent you on whatsapp? Attempt a home invasion and rob you of your playboys? Or heaven forbid, forward the hot pics your mistress sent to your mom and your wife/gf.

So what if they serve ads? Dont like it, use another app. These developers need to earn a living too, they use a model that provides you with FREE software for your phone, to use at your discretion. Go Launcher is by far the best launcher out there, it kicks the pants off anything that comes at a price too. If you dont like ads, dont use themes which push ads. Its that simple. Or use an app like adfree

Threads like this hurt the OSS/FS community. The privacy issue is actually pretty moot since most users sign up for forums and trial software and gladly hand over personal information. If you silly enough to keep your bank account details on your phone (which you going to hand out via using your credit/debit card at your local convience store anyway, where for all you know al queida has planted sleeper agents) then you deserve to have your wife see what you and your mistress get up to

Go launcher is the best launcher, if there are ads, please support the developer. Tell me one thing that you could do with any other launcher that you cant with go. This ad method is least intrusive, must be encouraged as means for developers to permit core functionalities free

Yeah, exactly, the crappy notification spam comes from themes via AirPush. Nice to see some antimalware apps start detecting this crap.

I really have no idea why you expected better. This phone is technologically "old" now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 8525Smart:
$145 sounds about right, actually. A Skyrocket goes for about $250-$300 on CL, so $145 is about 50% of secondhand market prices, which is in the range of where quotes usually fall from my experience.

I've seen this brought up on other forums already and people are saying things like it's too old or because it's devalued thanks to newer phones, but frankly, I think the answer is just that this is standard pricing range. How many of these type of promotions popped up already? I know all four major carriers do it. T-Mobile is using the same source as Samsung so you're getting the same prices, Sprint and Verizon is giving even less, and AT&T doesn't seem to have a quote system, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

When selling your products to large company or B&M places (pawn shops, specialized buyers, wholesale buyers, etc), a big part of what they do is convenience. Thanks to that, you're probably never going to see a major promotion that offers good prices.

If nothing else, it should be noted that demand/how easily they can get rid of inventory/etc may factor into pricing. As noted by CNET, the only smartphone to get the full $300 is an AT&T iPhone 4S 64GB. Mind you, not just a 64GB 4S, but specifically an AT&T one. If you choose the CDMA 64GB 4S, the quote suddenly falls $50.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fortune090:
Awesome insight 8525Smart. Very well put and yeah, it's definitely true. You never will get as much from a quote than what you will somewhere like CL or eBay, which is why I never sell anything otherwise, unless it's here in the marketplace. I'd just stay away from anything official if you're trying to resale, honestly.

[Networking] streppuiu:
I am using a Fujitsu-Siemens N520 PocketPC connected to my router on wifi as a web radio player. The incription I use for wireless is WPA/TKIP and the application I use is GSPlayer. It works fine but sometimes it disconnects from the station and stalls. I have to double click he station in the playlist again to restart it. This wouldn't be so annoying if these disconnections would be occasional. But usually after 15-20 minutes it disconnects.

I know that Android shuts down the processor and wireless after a while even if the wifi is in use by an application after some idle time. I had to install an application to prevent this. Is there something similar for WM6 ?

Is there an application that would automatically restart the station if let's say no network activity is present for a specific time interval?

Hi all!

I'm sorry if this question been asked before! which i see it has ! But I'm confussed to what to do! As there are several different answers to the same question ???????

So this is my problem!

I have a Galaxy s2 i9000 which i updated the ROM to Resurrection Remix ICS v1.0 by westcrip. a few months back!

All went ok. Rooted phone using odin and “CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar” from galaxy s2 root.com.

got it all working and all great till It came to other day! I wanted to udate to Resurrection remix 2.6 or v3.0 ??

But when it came to CWM - it kept coming up with

This version of CWM Manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. It appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled.

including the backup and recovery! I've tried ROM manager too. that says that I have CWM 2.5.1.2 and also CWM touch not available for this device. my phone is rooted. I have Su0.93,busybox v1.17.1

BUT NO JOY !! I tried to backup on there too and just takes me to CWM with no backup on the menu..

I always like to do a backup in case of problems! But cant in this case!

I read that flashing kernel could work! But as I'n not 100% which one to use! I'd be happy of any advise! I really would like to update now! As Res V2.6/v3 look great! so does the Salman ICS ROM..

I was thinking of flashing Siyah Kernel v.3.3.2 for Galaxy S2 i9100! [ICS] - but read somewhere this has problems with Res v2.6..

Can some1 please just tell me in simple terms, What is the best way to go about doing this! and if have to use new kernel which one and where?? I really would be most grateful of the help !!

Many Many thanks in advance .. A person who don't want to mess his much loved s2 up !!!!

Let's try again...

"Fastboot" and "ADB" are two completely separate things, unrelated to each other. One is not required to use the other.

[Hardware Hacking General] GeekyScott:
Trying to understand why I have 4 wires coming from a 3 pole audio jack?

I am going to convert my stereo headset with mic (3.5mm) into a mono (2.5mm) with mic connector by soldering them and in-lining some 10k resistors.

Currently I have this:

3.5mm Stereo Headset (currently STEREO + Mic)

Green = Right Audio

Red = Left Audio

Brown = Ground

Blue = Mic

Pic: View attachment 1245150

2.5mm Audio Jack (currently MONO+Mic)

Black = Ground

Red = Mic

Yellow = ?

Green = ?

Pic: View attachment 1245149

Could anyone explain the 4 cables? Are there 2 grounds? is one redundant or? and how i could possibly connect them up (assuming i have the resistors on the left/right on the stereo headset.)

Thanks in advanced

Scott
[Hardware Hacking General] euslider:
genius!
[Hardware Hacking General] Renate:
The best way to check out this sort of thing would be to use a meter, voltmeter, DVM.

Since you are connecting a stereo headphone to a mono source you don't need any resistors.

The black on the 2.5 mm is clearly ground.

The red is the hot, the positive of the mic (yes, polarity is important).

Either the yellow or the green is the hot of the audio output.

The other one might be a ground or also connected to the audio output.

A meter could quickly tell you, but just trying will work too.

Connect the microphone up.

Connect the green and the red of the headphone together and

try connecting it to either the green or the yellow wire, leaving the other one unconnected.
[Hardware Hacking General] GeekyScott:

Black + Brown

Red + Blue

Hi all,

I have succesfully rooted my phone using the toolkit by mskips

After that, i noticed that my internal memory is occupied by CWM (under miscelleanus) with size 3.6GB. Since this is too big, i want to ask:

- is this normal? This tool and custom roms size are only around 1GB

- can i safely delete the folder/file? How?

- if cant delete, can i move it to external sd card using such as data bind?

I remember that went to recovery mode n backup my app. Could this be the issue? I also chose backup to external memory though

I also backed my data using titanium backup, and it stores more than 1.5gb backup data. Can i move this to external sd card?

Edit: i checked clockworkmod folder using ES explorer and found there is a folder named "blops" which contained files with total size 3.6GB. Can i delete or move this folder?
