[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigbalaboom:
Hi everyone

First of all I gotta let you know that my phone is in a special condition: the CID (mmcblk1p18) has been cleared and is also not able to be restored (backup corrupted).

Most of you probably haven't been through this: usb mass storage will completely not work when CID is cleared, device will not be recognized under adb (adb devices returns not found).

Fortunately I can use BootMenu Manager ("Cutom init" ticked in 1st system) to get my usb mass storage back to work, this seems to be the only solution in my case.

So now whenever I add/delete/update files on phone (Moto XT910 MAXX, ICS 4.0.4), the content will not be updated in Windows explorer (Win7 x64), unless, maybe after a phone reboot.

I'v tried to unplug and plug the phone, it's the same thing, content not updated.

I remember this did not happen before I cleared CID.

Could someone please confirm if this happens on normal phones (with CID)? If it doesn't, it's probably because I'm mounting usb mass storage using BootMenu Manager.

Or is this a bug of Windows? Android? And is there any way to refresh content manually?

Any info/advice is much appreciated.

Hey all I was just woundering if there is a free way to sim unlock my phone yes I know its cheap to buy on eBay but for me it is the principle. I found that if I stick my similar in I can use the phone by refreshing the service under the mobile network menus but I can't seem to save my apn for 3g internet or any network for that matter.

Your help would be greatly appreciated everyone ..

Why are u asking in LG 2X's thread? Ask in general.

You can by turbosim and use it with yiur locked simcard.

[LG Optimus 2x] chrisdeger:
Because the phone in question is a lg p990 .... the Samsung galaxy s series has a sum unlock app so I was seeing if anyone could provide more phone specific information.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
From my experience, some Android phones can be SIM unlocked entire by a software hack, and others can't.

It depends on the hardware and the ability to exploit the power cycle and other jargon I'm not familiar with.

I know for sure I was able to unlock a Galaxy S2 and a HTC Desire Z without paying for a code, but for the LG Optimus 2X P990 I had absolutely no such luck and had to buy a code. Same with a Motorola Backflip.
[LG Optimus 2x] chrisdeger:
I am able to txt and make phone calls does that but not 3g or data is that normal for a locked phone or am I just doing something incorrect to set up apn
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
If you can text and call but not access data, then yes, you may have an APN or baseband or RIL problem.

Download APN Manager and GetRil.

I had the same problem with my P990 after unlocking it and using GetRIL to match the baseband properly solved my problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] chrisdeger:
OK you are correct my baseband and rihl don't match what should I do from this point
[HTC Sensation] beyondx4:
Hello guys, I've been having unusual problems with my recently purchased 2nd HTC Sensation 4g (it was supposedly brand new). I already have one HTC Sensation 4g running on Revolution HD for almost a year and regularly update it. Anyways, onto my issue with my new HTC Sensation...After I attempted to put on a new 3.33 firmware and the RevolutionHD 6.7.2 ROM, I was unable to boot it (stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen). I then tried to put on the latest T-Mobile RUU and again, it got stuck at the boot screen. I then superwiped again and repeatedly try out a bunch of the complete big ROMs (OrDroid 9.0, Elegancia Pegasus, etc) without any success. I was about to give up and figured my phone is bricked, but then decided to try out the more simple CM9 ROMs (Extreme Sensation Power-2) and was shocked it was able to boot and fully function! I then tried out similar ROMs and currently running Infinity's TouchCream 2.1.

I would appreciate if anyone have experienced similar issues and could give me some advice on how I could address it. I will have to do more experimenting to find out what's being going on. I have a feeling it could be a much more complicated problem than just simply mismatched/outdated ROM or Firmware. The reason why is because my 1st HTC Sensation (the control) was tested using the exact same configs without one single hiccup.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Reflash the newest firmware and then ARHD
[HTC Sensation] krazykipa:
I assume you are s-off with the latest 4EXT. If not, do that first.

I would download the latest 3.33 universal package: http://d-h.st/bCV, along with the latest ARHD 6.7.2: http://goo.gl/QDuTC

Run the firmware update through HBOOT (place PG58IMG.zip on root of the SD card, VOL DOWN + POWER, accept update), and then reboot into recovery.

4EXT should warn you that it is in safe mode due to a change in your HBOOT/partitions (if not, reboot recovery again, and if still not, you were already on 3.33 with revolutionary HBOOT :D), so do a format of all partitions except SD card.

From there, reboot recovery again, and do a full wipe again to be safe, and install ARHD. Leave it for 5m to boot, should work.
[HTC Sensation] beyondx4:
Thanks for the advices guys. Unfortunately, none of the methods changed any of the results of my 2nd Sensation. It would still not boot the bigger ARHD or Elengancia ROMs (what appears to be Sense ROMs). However, it boots on CM9 ROMs (like TouchCream or Extreme Sensation). I have an identical phone that's a little older, which I've used as the "control" in my experiment. I've been using pretty much the exact same files and steps that you've mentioned, but my 2nd Sensation wouldn't go past the boot screen, even after 30m of waiting (meanwhile, my 1st Sensation has already finished its first boot within 5m). This happens every single time...frustrating! Please note that my 1st Sensation is also going through the exact same steps, just so I can eliminate obvious software or user errors. Anyways, I'm pretty happy at least I'm able to run TouchCream2.1 on this phone and enjoy pretty much all the functions that the HTC Sensation has to offer after I install the suitable apps & widgets. Thanks again!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] acidtreat101:
So I have been considering the Ion as an upgrade from my ATRIX 4g but I have one criteria than the next phone I get cannot fail, or else there is no point in upgrading my phone because overall, I am happy with my current phone. I was wondering if the ion has the ability to natively decode hi-profile H.264 encoded video in an .mkv file. I have literally thousands of files on my PC and I don't want to re-encode them, especially because most of them have subtitles and that makes them extra hard to re-encode.

So if someone could find and test out some h.264 hi-profile encoded mkv video in 720p or 1080p, and report back the results of how it played, I would be super grateful! (Just FYI most .mkv files are h264 and most videos encoded in h.264 are encoded in hi-profile, so the files aren't that rare in case it seemed daunting to find a file like that) Thanks so much!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] popfan:
I have tried a few like that and they seem to work just fine using MX player on the Ion. The files I tried were at least 720p mkv files and h.264 encoded.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tribalartgod:
+1 Confirmed. MX Player is the jam! I have yet to try 1080p personally, so I can't report on that. But all of my movies that are MKV H.264 720p, play just fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
I use dice player and 1080p .mkv's are smooth as butter and even send to my bravia TV flawlessly
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] acidtreat101:
Cool thanks for letting me know. The Ion is a definite possibility. It's either the Ion or the Samsung Galaxy S3.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] acidtreat101:
Well, if you don't mind answering, for you, what are the things you find to be a negative aspect of the Ion? What about the phone arent you happy with?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cHoLoCoY:
i uploaded this to my phone,......and it runs pretty smooth on Hardware mode and Software mode,..... via MX Player

if you want me to test one of your own video / movie...... send me the file or link
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeriku:
The only thing that I don't like, is while on a head set call, the phone screen turns off at call end, even if you're using it during the call. Other than that, I love this phone.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] acidtreat101:
Could you go to http://www.h264info.com/clips.html and download the clip titled Serenity – 720p “On HD DVD” Trailer and tell me how it runs on the phone. On my Atrix, it lags a lot and the audio gets totally out of sync. Other videos, even in 1080p, I can play fine- so long as they aren't encoded in high-profile. Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] josemald:
I just tried this file, first video I play on my phone, and it played very smoothly, no lags or out of sync. Later I'll try it at home to the TV with the HDMI cable.

=============

It played perfectly to the TV through HDMI. Surprisingly, I was able to control the phone using my Samsung TV remote control.

Cool thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] paspro:
I think that Samsung posted the open source code for ICS on http://opensource.samsung.com. There is a zip file there marked as Update2 for ICS related to GT-P7510. Is this the source code required for the front camera to work?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Ackoman:
Strewth..........
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] paspro:
It does contain the 3.1 kernel source code used by the recent official ICS firmware! So, this is the missing code required to have a complete CM9 firmware with full camera support for the tablet. It was posted on the 10th of August. I guess the developers will be all over it!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] John NHT:
(deep inhale...) Mmmmm, I smell cookies & beans & jelly & ice cream with a lotta Cyan spice thrown in!!

Is something burning or is it the porn burning up the screen over there?? It's both! :silly: :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
1. This is not a Dev thread, nothing is being Developed here - therefore it should've been posted in the General section.

2. There are already a number of pre-existing threads on exactly this subject, so any further discussion should be continued in one of them.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] n8w:
Bricked (and fixed) my razr yesterday thinking reverting to .211 would fix my compass. Didn't work. Seeing that it seems to be common. I'm wondering if anyone else has had issues with their compass, and if there's been a fix.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] percevalknight:
Just passed to ics and compass doesn't work. Any idea?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] madcapbaby:
osmand work like a charm, gps status doesn't work sometimes, google maps simply refuse to turn. don't know what's going on.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
I had this issue on gb and ics, has something to do with the magnetic field sensor getting stuck or the metal trim around the edge of the phone getting magnetised. I was able to get it to work again by pulling my sd card, doing a hard reboot (vol - and the power button, keep holding after the screen shot), reboot, open a compass app, I used smart tools, take something magnificent (be sure you have removed the sd card and not to use a very powerful magnet) then start moving the magnet circular around the phone at a great distance, moving closer until you see the compass start to move. I wouldn't touch the magnet to the phone or get closer than 1 1/2". It's risky. But if it's stuck, it may work it loose. You may also try degaussing your phone. Just do your research, because this is all very dangerous for your phone, and can render it useless.

Edit: you may want to check if just the hard reboot fixes it before you try anything else.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] n8w:
Degaussing?

I may have to give the magnet trick a cautious try as I already damn near bricked my phone trying to reflash the firmware.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rigbyrobot:
If the magnetic trick doesn't work, if you could find a tv repair shop or something similar that have the tools for degaussing (de- magnifying) and have them do it for you. There are tutorials online that show you how to build degaussing tools, but it's not a job for the faint of heart or something you should do with out understanding what you're doing.

The magnet trick worked for me, I used a magnet I use to magnify/demagnify screw drivers. Laid my phone on a table and went around my phone at about 1/2 foot away from it brought it in to about 3/10ths of a foot and all the sudden the compass started spinning with the magnet and my compass has worked ever since. Your biggest danger is 1. Magnetising the metal trim around the screen or 2. Corrupting the flash memory. Our phone should be shielded, but obviously not too well if were having this problem.

Let us know what happens, what you try and what ends up working /not working. Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] n8w:
The magnet trick kind of, worked but not really. I used a fairly strong magnet that I had on my fridge, and got it close enough where I could feel it tugging on the phone. Then, and only then did the compass move a bit, but it wasn't loosened into working. Did a reboot, no change.

Edit: I gave this a few more tries using the phone tester app to see if the values would register, then some more hovering my magnet over the compass app. It finally dawned on my that my pc speakers, which were no more than 8 inches away from the phone might be interfering. I moved to the middle of my room, and kept hovering the magnet around while using the smart tools compass this time. It registered a couple times, but nothing promising, then at some point it just started freaking the f*** out, and kept doing so even if I backed out of the app. Opened the other compass app, and whatduya know...it works! Went back to smart tools, reset that, and all is well there too.

[General Questions and Answers] skylab7:
Hi guys,

I'm a newbie who doesn't know anything about android apps, but I need help creating a simple application. Here is the image to visualize it.

[I was not able to post an image]

I want this to be extracting the information from an .xml file. Something looking like:

cat, a small domestic animal, cat.mp3

dog, a medium domestic animal, dog.mp3

cow, a big domestic animal, cow.mp3

I want the image to be clickable, once clicked an audio will play. The audio name will always be similar to the name of the object (cat, will be always cat.mp3) ... I would really appreciate any help I could get.
[General Questions and Answers] Furitu:
Did you download the SDK?
[General Questions and Answers] skylab7:
Yes I have the SDK downloaded and I can manipulate it. But I need to create this app which basically has 5 pages.

First page is the welcome page

Second page contains an image of a cat and a title [Cat] and under the image there is the description of the cat.

Third page contains an image of a dog and a title [Dog] and under the image there is the description of the dog.

Fourth page contains an image of a cow and a title [Cow] and under the image there is the description of the cow.

Fifth page contains a thank you for visiting our page.

Each page is connected to the other pages by click <next> and <back> buttons. When you tap an image, you will hear the audio of that image. (which is similar to the title but with extention .mp3). I hope this helps.

Sadly hello views is missing from the google site but you can play with it here, http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/android/devguide/guide/tutorials/views/index.html .

The People calendar options is simply not available anymore, how do I get it back? Thank you
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
not a lot of info as are you rooted etc

if rooted restore a nandroid, or fresh flash of rom, wipe system, and all else

if someone has the apk, you could push it thru adb then change permissions, all thru adb
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Perhaps just clearing cache and data in the Apps settings for calendar?
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
that would be a good first choice

but, unless I misunderstood, I think he lost the whole calendar apk-

I checked the HTC calendar app and it has one named "People"...I'm guessing you'd get it back clearing data.

Hey guys,when I flashed cm9 primou the second time there isn't bootloader anymore also its very slow this time but the first time I installed it it was really really fast but now the important why isn't there bootloader anymore??its booting to recovery quickly without bootloader
[HTC One V] hlavicka82:
Let your rom boot. Connect the phone to your computer. In your computer go into command line. Then in command line navigate to the folder where the adb.exe is stored. If you have adb.exe in C:\android then you will type "cd C:\android". Then type "adb reboot bootloader". Type without quotation marks. This is the most reliable way how to boot into bootloader. You should have known this by now if you seriously want to be a developer.

You can also create a .bat file to execute the script. To do this create a text file and type there first line: "adb kill-server second" line: "adb reboot bootloader". Without quotiation marks of course. Then save the text file. Then make sure you can see the known extensions in windows and change the extension of the file to .bat. Put the file in the folder with adb and you only need to double click it to reboot into bootloader. You can create a shortcut to the file that you can put into your desktop.

[HTC One V] donhashem.dh:
Look dude I'm sorry for being rude but I was a little angry for what was happening to my phone.please accept my apology
[HTC One V] 1ceb0x:
That will kill the first server IF you have one opened, in order to let the new one to work (the one to reboot bootloader). It is a safe state to say the least because if you have one adb shell opened and you want to run the .bat that will open another shell, it won't work. And that's why you need the adb kill-server second :).
