As far as I know...there is no way to delete the imei on an HTC (unlike Samsung's that have it located in the eds folder in root) from what I've read its kept in its own partion that no app or file explorer can access...

Here's my advice...download the stock rooted rom, flash it

If you can find a pc to use then use a ruu (yet another reason why I hate macs and apple all together-programs either are programmed for them last or not at all)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SuperStoner:
After hours of waiting for answers from Samsung both online and over the phone, nobody in the technical department has any idea what AllShare Cast does or what it is capable of doing (if anything). I have the Samsung Galaxy SIII SPH-L710 from Sprint and a Samsung UN55C7000 LED Smart tv, and a Samsung HTC-C6930 3D bluray player. I can connect all devices via allshare and share videos photos and music but if I try to activate the Allshare Cast via settings menu on the Galaxy SIII it proclaims that no devices are found. In the allshare settings menu on the tv it shows the phone is allow to share screen images however I am unable to get the phone to recognize the tv via allshare cast. Their is very limited information about connecting these devices without the allshare dongle offered by Samsung because it is my understanding with a Samsung smart tv that is capable of allshare then the dongle would be pointless so please any help you can provide to help me mirror the images from my phone to the tv without the allshare dongle or without additional cords/accessories.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
Allshare cast is basically a service that mirrors whatever is on your phone to your TV.

I don't think you can use AllShare cast with a smart TV since many people have tried and the TV did not show up. They also didn't even add the AllShare cast menu option until after the dongle was released, so I doubt any compatibility with smart TVs was intended.

Samsung would rather have you pay more and also buy the dongle which is pretty much your only option if you want to mirror the phone to the TV. There are still many other solutions for just sharing movies/pictures to the TV that are free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SilverTipp:
Where is the option at? I have been waiting for this option to appear, but I still do not seem to have it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jasweb:
You need oneof the newer (newest?) firmwares to have the Allshare Cast function under Settings, More Settings.

The if rooted iu also need Triangle Away (and the you have to "fiddle" a bit to get it working).

But mine was stable last night. It is a bit of a Timing thing (pressing the rest button on the dongle and then turn on allshare cast, etc). Also sometimes yu have to restart the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a67543210:
There is a firmware update in the Samsung app store for the allshare cast dongle, available today. So far, there is a rapid connection established to the unit, stable. Sound issues also are resolved so far. Great update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Marridi:
simple question, i have a friend in the US, he is about to get an AT&T contract, and he doesnt need a new phone, if i make him buy me a samsung galaxy s 3, would i be able to sim unlock it to work on networks in the middleast, like Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Israel?

if yes, how can i do that?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PMentior:
Yes you can get an AT&T GS3 unlocked (Just unlocked mine today), If your friend is an existing member of AT&T and in good standing he just needs to ask for the unlock code. I just used the online chat support and told them I was traveling to Europe for a few months and needed my phone unlocked. They needed my IMEI and they gave me the unlock code. The whole process only took 10 min or so. Then I went to a T-Mobile store and ask to borrow a SIM so I could enter the code (You need to put in a non-AT&T SIM card for it to ask you for the unlock code)

Now the question is will the phone work for your network. For that you need to know if it uses the same network bands. Here are the bands that the AT&T GS3 supports: GSM Quad-band: 850/900/1800/1900MHz; UMTS Tri-band: 850/1900/2100MHz; LTE Dual-Band: Band 4/17

Is your networks use them then most likely it will work but the only way to know for sure is to find someone who has used an AT&T GS3 on your respective networks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Marridi:
thanks a lot, that was very helpful, but my friend is not an existing member of AT&T, he will get a contract soon though, dont know if they will give it to him. any other way to get the unlock code if they would refuse to give it to him?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PMentior:
There are places that sell the unlock codes for a small fee (around $30 I think). I don't know how well they work as I have never used these services.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Marridi:
thanks a lot, how is your transformer btw? are they really good? can they replace a laptop?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PMentior:
It is better than the Transformer Prime I had but still has some issues. The screen is really nice though. In the end mine is going back as I have the new Galaxy Note 10.1 coming tomorrow. The S-Pen is a killer feature for me, I'm a student and being able to take handwritten notes on it trumps the Transformer's superior resolution.

I don't know if it can replace a laptop as I never got the laptop dock for it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _PaPaUpA_:
I recieved this phone from a friend and when I turn it on he ask me for a google account, I try with factory reset but nothing happens, what can I do??

Thanks

Sorry for my bad english
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
That is normal. Android phones require you to have a google account. The phone uses google for the play store, contact backup, gmail, and more. Most roms let you skip this at first and only ask again if you use an app or feature that requires google. If the rom your on will not let you skip it, you will have to create or sign in with an existing google account.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _PaPaUpA_:
cmlusco look at this

the phone dont let me create a new account, just sing in and emergency call
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Ok after dooing some translation with google, i see the issue. Who ever gave you the phone had a pattern lock setup. You tried to many wrong attempts at solving the pattern and the phone has locked. You need to enter a google account to unlock it now. However im not sure if any google account will unlock it, or if you must enter the google account info previously registered by who ever setup the pattern lock. You can go to google.com and register for an account. If your google accoumt info dosent unlock it, you will need to get the info from the person who gave you the phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srsparky32:
he never did a factory reset. if he had, then that screen wouldnt be popping up. i've had lots of clients come to me with that same problem and a factory reset always fixes it.

what im concerned about is if someone gave him the phone then why is he guessing the pattern lock or password lock?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanidex00:
Hello,

I just bought an N7 (16GB) a couple days ago.

Rooted with stock rom and Faux kernel. However my CPU Temperature is at 110-122 degrees F. Is this supposed to happen.

Haven't played any Tegra games since I've rooted it, but that's seems a little high to begin with.

Mods, feel free to move this if it is not in the correct forum.

Thanks,

Cyanide
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMavic:
I am not sure how tablets work but in the PC building community, 122F (about 50C) is not hot at all, it's actually a decent idling temp. Like I said, I don't know how tablet CPU/GPUs work, but at that temp you shouldn't have to worry much.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanidex00:
Thanks Mav,

Doesn't feel overly hot, but looking at the actual temperature just worried me a little bit. :D
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airmaxx23:
Have you changed the max clock speed? If you're not playing graphic intense games 110-120 degrees is pretty high. The warmest mine has gotten even while gaming is 104 degrees.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyanidex00:
I use System Tuner Pro to change the SysCtl options. I just used the recommended settings, I don't adjust anything.

Since both SetCPU and STP have clock adjusters, is that going to make a difference or will it cause problems?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
Often times two CPU management apps running together will cause overheating and performance problems. I can't say if that's what yours is or not, but I would eliminate the possibility if I were trying to reduce heat, by clearing the app data on those apps and uninstalling them, rebooting, and installing only the one you will use.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
50C is normal. 100C is the nexus 7 safety shut down temp(itll shut off when reacing 100C). 40-65C is a normal range when cpu is active, maybe higher when using cpu intensive games.

***Disclaimer*** This only occurs if you HAVE NOT enabled Google Now when setting up for the first time.....

If you use Google Now and are getting the temperature of any City you voice search for the weather showing up in the Google Now cards in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit, this is the fix I discovered:

You must first have Google Now "ENABLED" in order for the fix to work.

1. Go to Setting in your Google Now and enable it on the top left hand corner and choose "Yes I'm In"

2. Now, go to Settings on the lower right hand corner gain.

3. Then you will get an option for "Weather" under Google Now that is not listed while Google Now is not enabled. Then go into the Weather Settings and make sure "Weather units" is set to Fahrenheit.

4. Do a search for a weather temperature for whatever city you choose to verify it shows up as Fahrenheit.

5. Now you can go back and disable Google Now if you choose to. From then on, you will get Fahrenheit to show up for weather inquires....

[Eee Pad Transformer General] javidben:
Hi everybody! just a newbie coming in to ask a question. I'm new to the transformer. Got it used form a friend and only used it for a week. So the problem is I tried to root using the Universal root tool kit 8.0 it shows in the steps that I had to have the ADB connected, but after trying everything I could find around the forums, I still couldn't connect the ADB. So right now I'm trying the razerclaw as well as PERI.

Just a reminder of the Universal Root Tool Kit 8.0

- I couldn't connect to adb

- the clockworkmod on the file is still v 3.1 so it's kind of hard to use, and I didn't really know how to update it

- the flash rom for the asus stok roms work great, I've flashed the .24 and .27 a couple of times already

So if anyone has any suggestions please reply, and I'm still a newbie to android devices, but I've fooled around with some iphones, ipads, windows phones and blackberries. So i'm still new to android and I hope the PERI root is a success ;)

Final update

Finally managed to root it, I had to uninstall asus adb, and the portable device tf101 first, then reinstalled using the drivers from Universal root tool kit 8.0, works 100% by the way. SO thanks a lot :)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xoom1:
I have never rooted a tablet or phone before, but I am not stupid when it comes to hacking and modifying electronics. I just have some questions since I have been trying to root my xoom yesterday with no luck. First off, my xoom is running off of 4.0.4, which I believe is ice cream sandwich. I did not update to jelly bean yet because I do not know if that has protection against rooting. I also have an 8 GB micro sd card.

I first tried using Lord AIO tools to make it easy, and it worked for unlocking my bootloader but not for rooting. I was also using this guide, but it is outdated and I am also confused about a few things.

First off, it seems like everyone uses CWM Recovery to root, but obviously it needs to be rooted before you can install the Recovery tool. Is that why you have to first install the "fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img" file? Also, will anything not work now that I am on 4.0.4? If anyone can give me a noob guide just like the one above, but for 4.0.4 it would be greatly appreciated. Also any tips would help.

I know I have more questions, but I have to go to a friends baby shower so when I get back I will post any new questions I have. Thanks for any help and tips you guys have! :laugh:

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
the defy architecture is SoC (System on Chip - not to be confused with the SOC module for the green lens camera) which means the GPU scales with the CPU, so if you overclock the CPU, you overclock the GPU too (not sure about the GPU default frequencies though).

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Selim873:
When I'm not using the internet or playing games, I literally set my max speed to half stock using the OnDemand governor, I always keep WiFi off unless I'm home and keep 3G unless I check my facebook or upload an image, 3G usually reactivates then deactivates itself with MMS I believe, not exactly 100% on that, correct me if you'd like. My stock battery lasts for about 30-35 hours under constant texting plus the way I use my phone. When I play games, I set clock speed back to stock and keep 3G off, whether I overclock or not depends on the game.

The UI loses a little FPS but I'm cool with that, and onscreen keyboard response is a little sluggish but that doesn't bother me either. I might try setting my max clock a little higher and try a different governor. My ROM and Kernel are in my signature.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
Never really had to "try"... on stock 2.3.4 I usually get incredible game time/usage time just from keeping auto-brightness on.

I am going pretty minimalist on widgets though; nothing but LP Sense's own widgets and a clock., so that may also contribute.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
How much brightness do you keep ? is it half or more ?

And.... any other tweaks you do ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
I keep the bar on maximum brightness, but AFAIK, that setting is ignored by the auto brightness.

And no tweaks. TBQH, only tweaks I know how to do is maxing camera quality and spoofing R800a to be an R800i.

No not so much apps I no longer use. But apps I use regularly but don't want to update.

It just annoys me that everytime I go to the Play Store and look for updates to other apps, the Go Keyboard is begging me to download it.
