[NFC Hacking] Fennem:
So I bit the bullet and bought a second hand Nexus S. Its all working grand but it has a small crack on the top of the screen. It doesn't effect the touch screen and everything else is in working order so I'm happy with it. I only got it today but I plan to flash it with one of the cyanogenmod 9 nightlies from jan-feb. According to the defcon presentation by Eddie Lee, I need to flash my phone with a version of cyanogenmod before the api was reverted to the public api. If I cant find a working zip I'll have to recompile my own.

[General Questions and Answers] SacTappingUni:
I remember hearing about phone scandals like this. Sometimes, they charge you a ridiculous fee for random things like that. Contact your service provider and ask them if you've gotten any weird charges to your account recently, and make sure that you compare your phone bill with that of earlier bills (before you got the strange texts).

Also, have you been flashing ROM's lately. I think it might be related to flashing ICS ROM's.

Or it could have something to do with the carrier. Do you have an HTC Evo 4g?

Here's a link to a "sms watchdog" website that might give you more info on your problem.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kegli:
I've been pretty gentle with my Atrix 4G, took the dog for a walk today and when I went to check half way through the walk, the screen looked like this. I've rebooted, pulled the battery out, every time I get this screen. I can click on the power button and switch from screen on/off.

Now a little bit of sand got into the case (I work at a camp in the summer, lots of sand in my pockets) could this be the issue (maybe on the motherboard?)

I can't imagine it's from a drop or a hit.

ok i have a bunch of mobi books i want to convert using calibre. i would like to view them using the google play books app. i like the page turn graphics and it looks like a nice app on the N7. my question where is the folder to put the books in so the app recognizes them? sdcard/android/data am i warm here?

i think play books uses the epub format but i'm not real positive on that either just yet. i know there is a kindle app because i have it installed but play books blows it away.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logan_M:
They may not be pirated books, I have quite a library with Kobo (I have a Kobo eReader) but I can't stand the Kobo app. So I download the ePub from Kobo Books and remove the DRM.

The thing is, do we know what format the books are downloaded in when you download them to the Play Books app. When books are downloaded to the Kobo app, they are downloaded in KePub. Which is Kobo specific.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsuppa:
I really cant belive no one has figured out where the books are held and how we can get stuff in there. I know there's a ton of apps that can read all types of files I just really like the widgets that display google books as well as I like to just use google play apps for everything....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Just an educated guess...

/data/data/com.google.android.apps.books/....

but there are most likely stored in a database rather than in individual files. Would need to obtain another book to see what changes.

I also love the look, feel and responsiveness of the Google Books app. None of the page turns of other apps come close to how smooth that is. It's always awkward and laggy. Really wish we could add books to the stock app. Until then, I hope one day one of the other readers copies it's page turning.

I need Traditional Chinese, not sure how I will be able to get chinese display though. Kind of new to Windows Phone, not sure how things work.

Oh, and another question, I'm using this phone on AT&T network but unable to use internet tethering. I get a message telling me to contact AT&T (611) to enable the feature. Is there anyway around it?
[HTC One X] indial:
Was just in the process of installing CWM after unlocking bootloader via HTCdev.

Had the HOX connected to PC while flashing via fastboot using "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img"

Got a download fail message on the pc and now the HOX is stuck in HBoot.

It is s-on, hboot 0.95.0000.

Bootloader is unlocked.

Whether connected to pc or USB cable unplugged it is stuck in HBOOT, fastboot USB screen.

Does not respond to any pc commands, vol toggles or power buttons not working.

adb devices command gives me, no devices attached.

How do I sort this out?
[HTC One X] dragonesdenano:
U should rename recovery file to "recovery" so u get recovery.img only. Then use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Never heard that problem. First thing I can tell now is to unplugg device and try "power&volum-".

Or wait to discharge battery, then charge and start again.

Htc One X Venom ViperX Rom + faux123 s kernel + Rezound Mod
[HTC One X] indial:
Thanks, file was reneamed before the flash, sorry just posted the instructions from the cwm page.

I get no response from the device or any of the keys, whether plugged in or not. - Stuck at the HBoot screen, "fastboot USB" whether plugged in or not.

I guess I wait untill the battery goes flat. Who's idea was it not to have a removeable battery.

I have not seen this either having rooted three Desire's, three Desire HD's, two Wildfire S' & a couple of Sensations before this. I hope a haven't bricked my new HOX.

Keep your power button pressed at least 10 seconds.
[HTC One X] whynot66:
Pull the wire and hold power for a while, the button lights will flash then it will kill the power, keep hold of power and volume down. Should open hboot down to fastboot plug in usb and try again, adb devices always shows blank for me on hox.

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If no response try fastboot or adb (can't renember) reboot bootloader
[HTC One X] lmnope1:
If you flashed a good ROM and your stuck in hboot, use fastboot and use the following command 'fastboot oem boot' that will force your phone to boot.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Hboot usually locks if you enter an incorrect fastboot command.

Just keep holding power&vol down and it will reload and you can try again

I'm trying to get Verizon Visual Voicemail working on CM10 on SGS3. I have 3 different apk's:

Verizon's Visual Voicemail from the market (pulled from my DInc)

Verizon's Visual Voicemail Nexus from the market (after a few build.prop edits)

Stock Touchwiz Visual Voicemail (Thanks to NoSympathy)

Both market versions install without a problem, but have connection timeouts when trying to verify my vvm subscription.

The Touchwiz version won't even install.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm digging through the apk's to try and find why both market versions time out. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
I would try stuff from the gnex since it is built for AOSP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badseed767:
The Visual Voicemail Nexus app from the market is for the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

I was digging through the code last night until about 10:00 and I'm starting to think it may be an APN problem...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
You are correct, however - I think what con's trying to refer you to is what I'd try first - go online and search "verizon galaxy nexus visual voicemail apk", find it, download it, transfer to your phone, and install from "unknown souce". It may work right off the bat, but it may not also. If not, it sure will give you a good starting point with where to go with it since A) its already build for AOSP and B) already built to communicate with the Verizon network.

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hesh.monster:
Rather than beating your head in trying to get it to work you could save the 3 or 4 bucks a month and just use Google voice, is kind of irritating through the initial setup but in the end works well and does the same thing. Just my 0.02
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Could you post the apk for the Stock one? I've been trying to get my hands on it since synergy ROM doesn't have it included and now I can't even see any of the voicemail apps in the market. Short of flashing back to stock ripping it and then re-flashing the ROM I don't know how else to get ahold of it lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pickle3782:
With the Droid Incredible I had to do these steps to get Verizons visual voice mail to work with CM7.2

Use file manager and go to "/system"

Mount the folder R/W(Read/Write

open build.prop in Text Editor

look for "ro.horizontalVvvm = True" and chenge it to False

look for "ro.horizontalBUA = True" and change it to False

save your edit, and back out to thr "/system" folder. Once again switch the directory back to R/O, exit your apps and reboot.

You shoulkd now be able to install your Vvm.apk without it telling you to uninstall it because one is already installed.

Note I am using Virtuous rom however it should work for most roms I would imagine.

If you do not have a Vvm.apk here is one from the Droid X but it works great on my incredible. Looks almost like the stock incredible version.

The stock vvm app installs fine, it just hangs while trying to verify the subscription. I thought it might have been the ro.horizontal.vvm line in the build.prop like on cm7, but that line wasn't even in there. I added it just to see and it made no difference. I switched to Google voice and I'm loving how it integrates directly into the phone app instead of having to run a separate vvm app. Thanks for the post. :)

Btw, anyone wanting the stock tw or old Verizon apk, feel free to pm me and ill send it to you. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eDUB4206:
Sorry for not being too much help, but is Verizon's VVM better than Google Voice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badseed767:
Even when it was working on tw, no. Google voice is infinitely better, especially once you have it incorporated into the aosp phone app. The voice mails show up in your call log. Only problem is had was recording my greeting. After the initial setup, it's totally seamless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] captainwtf:
The only problem I have with using google voice is that it like stores all my text messages. Not cool.

otherwise I'd use google voice. Unles there is a way to turn that off.

I'm having a weird issue. On my Nexus 7, I use Google Voice and I placed it's icon in the dock. The weird thing is that after sometime, it magically gets smaller.

I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it. It's stays a normal size for a while, but after I put it down and pick it back up a couple hours later, it's magically shrunk again.

I've also noticed that when I restart the tablet, the icon stays the correct size for a couple seconds, and then gets small again.

So i decided to buy my galaxy nexus! whoop i use to own a nexus one but i went to a non nexus device lol bad choice... now i value the nexus line. i didnt think the nexus one had good development back in the day considering people were still jumping on board to android. but now wow galaxy nexus has great development support considering android is 4 years (almost 5?) old now instead of 2 when the nexus one first arrived.

so i bought it from the google store on friday night at 11:27pm and it says its being shipped from mountain view cali. well i live in cali too...in around ventura county. 50 miles north of los angeles. still no word on shipping confirmation but i heard some crazy stories on xda where people got their galaxy nexus or nexus 7 tablet delieved to their door 1 hour before or after receiving their device. since i live relatively close to mountain view should i expect my galaxy nexus to be shipped early? instead of 5 days just 3? maybe

im starting off college this Saturday i want my nexus before then

Greetings XDA community.

I have been using Maverick 3.0 on my Droid 3 for severial months, and I did not have any issues. I installed Maverick 4.5 a few weeks ago and I've been having a problem where if my phone is idling for a while and I try to wake it up, I get a blank screen and I can't do anything but pull the battery to restart the phone. Today, I booted into recovery and restored a backup I made while Maverick 3.0 was installed, and now I am still having exactly the same problem - I try to wake up the phone and I get the same damn black screen again. This never happened before with Maverick 3.0. I'm assuming this is a hardware problem? Any comments or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's a known issue. To my knowledge there is no specific solution. What Endoroid suggested above works to an extent, but it did not work for me with those exact same settings.
