[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pTeronaut:
So AT&T have given me the unlock code for my Note, which for me to use, I had to revert to a stock ROM.

Prior to reverting, I used TWRP to backup my current configuration.

If I restore from this backup, will I keep my unlock?

If I flash my modem back to an earlier version with a more reliable GPS, will I keep my unlock?

I won't be able to tell if the unlock is working with the backup until I really need the unlock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Unlock is permanent. To enter the code you need a sim from another carrier to activate the unlock dialogue box, so you'll have to borrow somebody's. Restore and enjoy your unlocked phone. Then test the unlock with the borrowed sim card.
[Asus Transformer TF700] grinchyboy:
Maybe thinking of returning my infinity. So far I see no difference between this and my android phone. I only bought it a week ago. Would best buy return in even if its unlocked and rooted?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
I'd say its pretty unethical to return an unlocked device unless its defective, as they'd just put it back on the shelf and whoever buys it next would be conned out of their warranty. Its why many of us wait for our return period to expire before doing such things.

For that reason, the unlock might give you trouble if the staff there goes out of their way to look for it. In this case, your success would be completely dependent on luck.

Root itself shouldnt pose an issue as it can easily be undone.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BKinney:
I used to work there, best buy wouldn't even know that it is rooted/unlocked. They will most likely send it back to the manufacturer anyways. Very rarely is it open boxed
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
They would know if its unlocked since it will indicate it on initial boot on the top right or left from what I've read here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Yep, it says something like"This device is unlocked" in the upper lefthand corner.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
I think the indication was that they literally don't even turn it on. They take what you give them and mail it back to Asus without looking at it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
From my experience returning tablets/electronics from BB, they check to make sure it works. With tablets they almost always attempt to turn the device on to see if it works regardless the reason for the return. Its pretty much the first thing they do after taking it out of its box. When I swapped out my Infinity, they turned mine on to check. They were going to do a factory reset but I had already done it prior. So in the end they will more then likely notice that it is unlocked. I hope they don't resell your unlocked tablet. I wouldn't want to get one already without warranty.
[Asus Transformer TF700] madsquabbles:
yes, will turn it on. but just don't turn it off and they won't see the unlocked message. put to sleep instead.
[Asus Transformer TF700] almostinsane:
Bestbuy won't know what the unlocked message means anyway and also wouldn't know it's not there on a retail TF.

FWIW, I returned a TF300 and TF700 to Bestbuy and both were unlocked. No issues with the return at all. They didn't even ask if anything was wrong with them.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
Best buy will let you return it, but like others said unless it's defective they may well resell. However if it's defective i would have no qualms returning it.

Instagram and Twitter apps are unable to find the GPS location on my phone. But, Google maps and Foursquare apps can track it.

Phone: International Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100)

OS: 4.0.3 (XXPLB)
[General Questions and Answers] HelectronSoft:
I am developing an app that uses gps service and in my test phones is Galaxy S2 .

i ve seen some weird things in S2 GPS(for example even if ask for location every x time or every x meters it still gives location every 2 sec) but i m allways able to get the location if Gps is Active and locked.

I cant think that its a bad implementation of gps service in Instagram and Twitter because its something pretty simple

Maybe a bug of ICS

Try to reboot your device to see if the problem is solved (An other issue in many devices)

[HTC Wildfire S] dhairyaparekh1989:
I bought a sandisk ultra 16 gb memory card.. its class 10. I was gonna try it In wildchild 3.3 Rom. First I inserted in card reader and partitioned into 12.8 gb fat32, 2 gb ext2, 512 swap using mini partition Tool...all partition. Are primary... After that I transfered data in SD card from my backup using card reader. As I installed d Rom n inserted D card d phone said card corrupted. I tried to format from phone but couldn't. Connect ed back and formatted my partition fat32 partition . Now the phone detected d card perfect. But as I connected d phone using data cable and send the data it says CYCLIC REDUDENCY ERROR. DATA ERROR.. and d transfer stops. D phone automatically unmounts d card. I tried my old SD of 8 gb in phone and its just perfect . And also tried putting the partition new card in card reader and transfer data and it allows transferring d files .that doesn't happen in phone which shows error n unmounts. so can anyone guide me on where m going wrong. D card is brand new. I tried it in wildchild 2 Rom also... Same problem. Formatted using SD formatted. Have also tried checking for diskerror and defragmenting. Using dos I also checked for errors but all was perfect. Finally I removed all partition n then tried in phone and ttransferring data . Using card reader it works. Using data cable it shows error and un mounts... Help ppl.. how to solve d mistery
[HTC Wildfire S] sukhjit321:
Funny story I got the same problem with my sandisk 16 gb class 4 card. :/

I called flipkart (from where I bought the card), they asked me to contact san disk service center as I had passed the replacement period. They said that sandisk will take care of all the warranty and stuff now. Its 1.5 hour ride to nearest sandisk service center from my place so kinda have it on hold. But i guess the card is faulty.
[HTC Wildfire S] chicle_11:
I may be wrong, but I seem to remember reading that you shouldn't have an sd-ext partition larger than 1.5GB.

Try partitioning it to 1.5Gb or less and see if that works out.

Hope it works for you. Good luck.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
I've had 2 Primes including a very early model that I had to RMA and eventually got an ASUS refund. My 2nd tab I got from BBY in May and recently exchanged for an Infinity. I think the Infinity is ok, but my 2nd Prime was finally just setup right so it was running fine.

For me, it was actually kinda fun tweaking the Prime and playing with the numerous mods that were available. I was enjoying the active community and the challenge of getting the right combination of tweaks to make it scream. Of course, I just got it dialed-in and running great when the Infinity exchange option popped up. I was within days of unlocking to play with Motley kernel and Androwook ROM.

Now the Infinity is a great piece of kit, but the options for mods are very limited (it seems). Other than the screen, there is not very much difference. Now that GPS works, I really find it quite useless. There is not much difference in performance compared to my dialed-in Prime. There is really not very much real world difference in wifi for my daily use. There are very few ROMs to consider, and overall the dev community has not quite ramped up yet. Also consider that several purchased games no longer work - Asphalt 6, Madden, etc.

Oh well, the grass is not always greener. Maybe I will feel better once JB comes out, but things are pretty slow so far.

No - for now I'm not interested in trading for your Prime. I'm gonna hope JB comes out before my return window expires.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SolInvictus:
Well done for sharing that with the group, don't you feel better now for confessing? :p

I'm really looking forward to jellybean on my prime. Can't wait to see how it improves things. Even as it is, I wouldn't change it for any single tablet out there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drherron:
Yeah I gotta say the Tf700 development section is still pretty quiet, this is balanced by many less complaints in the general section. For those less interested in in the fight to perfection the infinity is a better choice, but if you like having to earn that last 10% with research and experimentation, I agree, the prime was better.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] frozen-solid:
When I bought the Prime, I did so knowing full well that the GPS didn't work and the Wifi was spotty, but it's never once been an actual issue for me. Between tethering the GPS from my phone and the dongle I've been fine, but I've actually only ever used the dongle once since I got it. All it's current issues can be fixed with firmware updates, and most likely JB that's coming soon. The Prime really is a great tablet and I personally prefer it over the 300T despite it's IO and gaming issues. A quick reboot has been enough to fix any of the games I wanted to run.

All the hate for the Prime is overblown because no one who's actually happy is going to post, which makes this forum turn into a cesspool of complaints. Everyone who's enjoying their Prime has been long since pushed off the forums by people who just want to raise a stink. The only reason I come here anymore is for updates from Gary, which while infrequent are at least enough to tell me that JB is on the way and our IO problems have been fixed in the kernel that's coming as a part of that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
I always assumed that since the Prime and Infinity were so similar, development would just carry between them- obviously not the case. What a strange situation for everyone having gotten refunds...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
you forgot increased Quad Core processor speed.

Working Wifi (as GPS)

HD MP front and back camera that blow the Prime's away.

, although I didn't have major problems with my Prime than the weak Wifi/no GPS. I don't miss it a-bit.

In part because it was easy to back-up all my apps and transition them right into the Infinity without missing a beat.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] green750one:
Think the 300 has the same I/O issues the prime has. 80 seconds for a simple 1000 insert transaction!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CeeJayII:
I miss my prime too! The infinity looks nice but runs no where near as well as my prime with androwook and tweaks. I feel kinda hand cuffed at the moment with the infinity. Some games dont work, animation isnt as smooth on ones that do, probably because of the resolution. General performance is slower, and it is currently incapable of copying large files to the microSD. Sometimes I think I should have stuck with the prime, it gets a bad rap.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brantje:
Running JB nightly on my prime, and have to say: WOW, its smooth as butter.

Since the install no ANR of FC
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Used my Nexus 7 for about 2 weeks until I realised there was nothing I could do with it that the Prime doesn't do

equally good or better (I'm not a gamer). Selling the Prime was never an option, so now it's top dawg again with

the N7 relegated to wife-device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tamaniro:
Love my prime

I'll jump out there and join the folks praising the Prime. I bought the Prime in April and was impressed with what it could do, despite its well documented shortcomings. It was not until I unlocked it and started flashing custom ROMs that I really got into this device. I love tweaking it and discovering new things about Android that I never even knew it could do. Plus, being able to use Google Now on cm10 is pretty slick. Unlocking, flashing, etc. is very straight forward, unlike my HTC Evo 3D which apparently requires nothing short of an act of God to root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ironlion45:
The Prime is a fine piece of equipment. And if you're into custom roms, right now is a

good

time to own one! If you're new, get an infinity now, obviously, but if you have a prime there's little need to upgrade; your options with the Prime to enhance performance are pretty solid.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anoneemooz:
I enjoy my Prime much for the same reason I enjoy (and still enjoy) my Samsung Galaxy S (i9000). It's just a lot of admittedly geeky fun to experiment and tweak things. It's that constant striving and searching for perfection that has kept me preoccupied and always learning new things.

The SGS is a really old device and yet the development scene is still really active and something I always look forward to checking out everyday. Before the dev scene picked up, there really was a lot of dissatisfaction and complaints surrounding the SGS as well. GPS was awful, lag all over the place, internal storage issues and what not but those mostly are all things of the past. The only issues now just come with the phone's age I guess so it's getting harder for it to keep up with newer games, but then again I'm no hard core gamer though but I haven't encountered much issues with all the games I've tried.

The Prime's development scene isn't as active as I had hoped, but I guess it's better off versus some other newer devices for now. Don't know if that will change soon enough as people start defecting to other devices, but for now I'm happy. Sure, there's a lot still needing to be fixed and I guess with a new kernel coming along with official JB on the Prime sooner or later many issues will probably be resolved. Running JB via TeamEOS's JB ROM has been an excellent experience so far for me except for a few missing features (camera issues)..and that's with it still on an older kernel too!

Of course people like me are actually a minority since a majority of consumers probably just want to use something as is and works well out of the box. Nothing wrong with that, but I guess it really just depends on the user attitude and preferences. Not a lot are willing to or have the time to research and go about doing some admittedly risky things to their expensive devices. I'm a perfectly girly girl btw but I love this geeky side of me.

The Prime could have definitely been a better device than it is, but I love it and the whole experience I've been having with it none the less. If not for development and the constant search for satisfaction, I'm sure my Prime would end up collecting dust somewhere.

Sorry for the long post. Just wanted to share :)

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
using aroma installer for any mod installation is cool. you might want to use it to install your rom. however, only a few member here know how to use it correctly. this thread is intended to introduce aroma installer to any rom devs here. I've made a simple aroma installer to install rom and kernel for any dev who want to use and learn about it. please don't expect any "wow" thing from this stuff. if you're a rom dev you should learn aroma installer by yourself. this stuff is only something I hope could help you understand the structure of aroma installer and how to make it by your self.

long story short. here is the link

how to use:

1. open/extract the zip file

2. put your rom system file in /system folder as in your usual zip file

3. replace boot.img with your kernel

4. rezip the zip file

some guide related to aroma.

PS:

1. I won't be here for a while. so please don't ask any question related to aroma in this thread. google is your friend.

2. the boot.img inside this zip file is my test kernel.

3. installation only work in CWM

4. there's a bug in v1. please use v1.1 instead.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] manoranjan2050:

3. Zip and install via CWM:confused:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
yup...its just as simply like that. replace the system folder with yours, rezip, done. the kernel is a test stuff so you might want to replace with something else. if every rom here using aroma installer, the other forum will be so envious. let's go up!!

you can modify the script by yourself. if you don't want to make one, you can use the slot used to install busybox.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] cartmenicus:
Okay thanks! ill try it but i want ot have like options to choose which rom they want to use??
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
did you mean choose the running rom at boot or something like that?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] cartmenicus:
Nonon just when aroma starts theres like a menu and say theres 5 roms there is 5 option thngs and whichever one you press installs that rom??
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
that would be simple. you only need to edit the config file and the updater script. btw, this aroma is only working on sgy's rom and only intended to flash a GB rom. you can't use it on another device without modifying it. at minimum, you should edit the updater script for the rom and kernel installation. the easiest way to make it as multiple rom installer, you can copy the updater script for the rom to the updater script of kernel, busybox, etc. after that you can edit the config file's name to match the updater script.
