[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sizzlechest:
I was thinking of something along those lines. I suppose the heavy solution would be to use a separate computer with asterisk, but I was hoping to find something with just the phones as hardware. The Android 4.0 software has wifi p2p built in, but I'd hate to limit the solution to that environment.

I did find something that seems to work, but is buggy and requires root access: Serval Mesh

This looks like an incredible project and I hope it continues to progress.

If anyone knows of something similar, please reply.

I love the number of levels that snote gives you to organize your notes, but I need to be able to view my notes on a pc and would prefer the notebooks sync in total and not be forced to export each time.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cheapxj:
I'd like to replace my Droid X2 with the Razr MAXX, I see this is one of my options on verizon for a "world" phone.

I never expected my career to literally and figuratively "take off" as it has, and now I really need to adapt.

I want to be able to just use prepaid SIM cards when I'm in europe, but being the nerd/geek/technomancer I am (depending on who you talk to)

I just want to be sure that I can still screw with this thing without inhibiting my ability to use DATA and VOICE overseas on a GSM network.

I see that these roms are GSM/CDMA specfic, and if I switch to a GSM network, do I also have to switch to a GSM rom?

and yes, I will void this fukker's warranty the day I bring it home, I can't remember the last computer/tablet/phone that I haven't done that to.

I REALLY like my Droid X2 with the extended battery + CM7, It has been without a doubt the single most reliable phone I've ever owned. (so many people complain about it, but I think they just suck at technology) There isn't a single thing (aside from flashing a new kernel) that I haven't been able to do with/to it. Right now, my biggest dislike about it is the cracked digitizer (it fell out of my pocket onto a concrete slab approx 50ft below me, and all it did was crack the digitizer, thing still works FLAWLESSLY) so I'm pretty sold on motorola despite all the hate.

so are there any globetrotting verizon customers out there that have experience with this or am I going to have to just go out on a limb and do it? if worse comes to worse, I'll just buy a galaxy note and use that in the EU when I'm here, and use my razr maxx when I'm not.

I always have been and forever will be a fan of anything motorola that has the ability to Tx/Rx... they do radios right!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dany.Zam:
I think that you can't change CDMA to GSM, both are different technologies, that's why there are specifically ROMS for CDMA and GSM.

Enviado desde mi XT910 usando Tapatalk 2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ooohhaaahh:
i believe lots of over seas people would buy the verizon maxx and use it via gsm because the gsm maxx took a long time to be released.

so data should work fine (and voice to) just no US gsm carriers.

and Dany.zam

both versions have the same radio, it supports cdma and gsm, gsm is just blocked on the verizon one (for us use), and i believe cdma is blocked or not given an esn number for the gsm one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MindlessLeadership:
I don't think the GSM one has a CDMA radio at all, as it would be pointless in markets where its sold.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cheapxj:
well, I can always SBF it if it comes down to it, or just have two phones. I like the galaxy note better anyway in terms of hardware/features (I like having a stylus, keeps fingerprints off the screen surface and is good for some of the dirty nasty sweatiness that work gets me into)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cheapxj:
Ok, I'll be back in the states in less than a week, Gotta buy a new phone anyway (was using my Droid X2 as a camera and I broke it, dropped it off the top of a fully extended genie lift onto the concrete below) so.

I see there's "2nd system" support using the webtop partition, so I can keep a "daily driver" rom and have another one to experiment with correct?

anyone know of roms that work well on BOTH CDMA and GSM after the radiocomm hacks?

I will be buying this thing full retail from a verizon store.

I give zero fukks if it works on ATT or any US GSM carrier, I only need GSM for european travel.

can I use prepaid sims in europe or should I "rent-a-sim" from one of those sim rental outfits?

if anyone has any real world experience with flashing/hacking this phone and globetrotting, POST UP!

it must work for in-country voice calling, and be able to provide wifi tethering everywhere I have signal.

I will be mostly in germany, the netherlands, france, great britain and spain outside the US. (in order of frequency/importance)

This is a world phone stock, it contains both GSM and CDMA radios, I'm more concerned with how different custom roms interact with the radio and if they work properly for Voice, MMS, SMS and Data on prepaid sims vs. "contract" sims in the european union.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opiujn:
Hi =)

Many ICS kernels has this "brick bug". But its nothing to worry about at all and you can keep running your rom on it without getting bricked. The brick will happen if you "wipe" while still on an unsafe kernel. So if you from some reason want/need to wipe (a common operation before installing new roms) you will have to install a safe kernel first. If you have to wipe then install Abyss 4.2 (it is so far one of the kernels proved to be safe over a long time) first and REBOOT recovery. After you have installed Abyss 4.2 and REBOOTED recovery you can safely wipe and install another rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
its the emmc chip that has the bug, the kernel triggers the bug. The kernel is not the bug. A safe kernel doesnt trigger it:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opiujn:
That is correct :) bug is in the chip, my mistake writing it as if it was in the kernel itself. Sorry for that. However, it will anyways be easier to get a safe kernel than replace or fix the chip to avoid the brick I guess :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
no need to be sorry m8. I agree its easier, I guess not a lot of bricks happened due to the bug, when phone still had warranty.

Probably due to the chance a normal user happens to do a factory reset/ wipe or deletes large files. Even then there is a chance of it not occurring. I guess those chances and costs to fix determine the business case for a global recal, which in all likelihood is way more expensive then simply fixing the small number that do get bricked by it.

So Op, dont worry about the brickbug, just be safe when doing stuff.

Because of the small number the brand damage is also low. I myself, despite Samsungs awkward dealing with this dont have the feeling, never a Samsung again. I guess If I bricked my phone I would be feeling differently. So I am glad I didnt, at least yet.

Hello,

I have a Prestigio MultiPad 9.7 PRO tablet that I got for free. The device itself is not bad, but it could do so much more if it had root access. The tablet is not so popular, so there aren't any tutorials on the web. That is why I'm asking for help here.

The device is getting updates via the OTA Service app. It downloads a system.img file onto the SD card, and then it asks me if I want to install it. Now, I'm asking is there some way to "inject" SU and BusyBox into the IMG file, and then install it.

Any help will be grateful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Full HD:
Hi! :laugh:

I rooted this tablet with a modified rom, you can find it here

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17482271/PMP5097CPRO_V1.0.3_20120418.rar)

But it is "only" version 1.03 which is rooted but t works flawlessly. Decomress the .zip file and rename the file to "update.img" and put it directly on your internal sd card of the tablet and restart it. It will ask for an update. You will get a rooted rom v1.03 without loosing any data. When you update to the latest firmware you will loose root. Tried by myself. I also tried to modify v.1.06 and to implement Superuser & Co but without success. I am a totally noob in linux :p.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meishkov:
So I charged my phone last night, went to bed at 99% n woke up to it at like 76%. Sync was turned off as usual, so no idea what would cause it to wake constantly like that. I remember using spare parts on my OG there was a option to see what apps were causing wake. I'm still stock right now, not even rooted. What's the consensus for background processes in settings-> development? Standard limit or limit to 1 or 2 processes? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Little side note, what's the preference on using the power saving option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unique77:
I do not use power save and my phone will only lose about 8-10 percent at most. I'm all stock as well so I can't tell you why..... but if you are setting your phone in an area at night that gives you low signal it will eat your battery fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sageDieu:
yeah signal strength and background data can hurt battery a lot, even when sync is turned off a lot of apps will still update automatically, for example weather, news, and the like. The easiest way to check that is to disable mobile data next time you leave it overnight, if it still has high drain then you have an app putting it in a wake lock which you have to use another app to find the culprit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meishkov:
I stay connected to WiFi the entire time that I'm at home. Probably the only times I use it. Then I'll turn it off walking to my car. That's one of the reasons I use it, so I know I have a steady signal and not connected to data so that a fluctuating signal would cause overnight battery drain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meishkov:
Dang it. Tried installing spare parts n when I try to open battery information to get to that 1 option where u can tell what.app has been waking your device, it just hangs and then crashes. So I deleted it. Anybody have any other suggestions to tell what caused battery drainage overnight in that pic I posted in the OP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
Just so you know even with mobile data turned off your phone is still connected to the network for phone calls. So if you are in a bad signal area it can still cause serious battery drain.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meishkov:
Yea I know but where I'm at I get a steady 3-4 bars. I shut down internet in that built-in task manager so that couldn't have been it. Maps perhaps.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
Its mean that your modem is fine and all you need is to correctly set your carrier Access Point Names (APN) in Settings - more settings - APN. There should be at last two entries. Internet and MMS. Both have own slightly different Settings inside and botha are carrier specific.

My simcard wrights this configuration itself, but maybe you need to do it manualy.

Just check it out because if it showing H or 3g than your phone is logging to network (HSPA and HSDPA) correctly an all you need is right settings.

You can try to remove your SIM from phone, boot ones, shutdown, reinstall the card and boot with it on the board. After that it should reenter this configuration and mobile internet must fly.
