Hello

In India we are rolling out tablets to students in classroom in batches of 50.

We have identified a set of 20 offline apps, with data (example "Simple English Wikipedia" 50 MB, Dictionary etc)

on stock Android tablets with 4.0.3

What is the best way to preinstall these apps for students, as market wont allow us to download apk files?

Should we talk to the developers of the apps, and get the apk files?

The reason we want to preinstall apps is because we want them to have a lot of offline content (Wikipedia, Dictionary etc), as internet is very sporadic or not available for many of these students.

[General Questions and Answers] Shawn:
You can connect each tablet to a PC and copy the apk files to the tablets manually. From there, just open the apk files and install. You can find the apks online, at least free ones you can.

re, preinstall android apps

A simple example is wikidroyd, Google Drive

The websites does not allow us to download the apk files but points us to the market/play.

So if i hack or find the apk files online, to preinstall using an SD card is it legal?

Is there a way to legally download the apk files for free apps.
[General Questions and Answers] a.cid:
Well, you can download the free app from market on one of the devices, adb pull the apk...and then adb push it to the rest of the devices...

I'm quite confident this won't be a problem...

If you still want to be on the safest side, you can email the developers asking permission to do so...

re, Distribute free apps in India

So finally we decided to bundle a 1 GB USB Drive with our tablets.

Preinstalled a bunch of Apks in the USB drive, showed students how to install apk files.

Pointed them to

torrapk, google play and appbrain.

Thanks for all your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bebebullet2:
OK so I couldn't find a similar thread to my issue..but I have galaxy nexus lte 4.0.4 imm76q and I tried rooting phone last night which ed worked only half...I used c drive command on window to run the zip file and unlocked the boot loader and it worked perfect then I ran root and the phone restarted and whiped data super user was installed when it booted up but busy box was so I tried to install both versions off the market but none of the apps will work they won't install so I used root checker and it says root was not fully achieved I know busy box usually should come with the root so my question is since I have the boot loader unlocked what should I do try rooting the phone again with a different zip file or one click method or do I have to unroot Back to stock then re root? And if I do have to flash back to stock does anyone have the link to the imm76q I don't wanna use imm76k I'd rather keep the latest

help me out please with some advice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
I'm not sure why you wiped data or mention Busybox. Those have nothing to do with gaining root. Looks like you might have done a few steps in the wrong order. Try this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26328017&postcount=123

OK imma try this well the device gets wiped the way I rooted it wiped meaning all person stuff but imma try this way now thanks for the link I'll try it and get back to u
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Ah right, you mean the bootloader unlock step. Yes that will wipe it indeed. Anyway, use the guide and you'll be fine.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lfeuln:
One complaint I have about my Nexus 7 is that while the form factor is perfect for bed at night, the screen is brighter than I'd like even at minimum brightness. Is the Kindle better in that respect?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdblaze:
Try an app called screen filter. It is in Google play market. My fire was too bright at night also. This allows you to darken the screen more than the default settings.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrexus:
Yes. The Kindle Fire HD is able to be turned much darker than the Nexus 7. In auto setting it won't go as dark so you have to use manual setting.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebobx:
Any US owners of the i9300 (that's the non-US/International) version of the S3 using the Straight Talk service? I've been looking into them as a way to get some 3G data access for two weeks, but their customer service folks just replied saying that my S3 won't work because it's not a US model.

Looking at the specs seems to show that my S3 will support their frequencies, but I'm wondering if there's some kind of clever device block in place.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
I'm using it, it works fine. You need to choose AT&T-Compatible SIM when you buy a SIM, otherwise most of the time they'll send you a T-Mobile SIM if you choose for them to pick it automatically. Also, this wouldn't affect whether or not you get 3G/HSPA+, but make sure when you fill in the APN, you don't fill in any proxy information except for MMS proxy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebobx:
Many thanks. :good: I think their CS folks are about as good as the ones for the carriers over here - since their emailed advice contradicts what the website says:

And according to http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/smartphones/android/GT-I9300MBDBTU-spec the International (UK spec in my case) S3 supports "850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100".

Again, thanks for taking the time out to reply. :D Maybe see if I can use a local Walmart's click n' collect service to get the SIM+minutes card when I get over to Orlando.

edge

Has anyone done this with an i9300 and gotten anything othere than 2.5g edge?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shakes27:
Accidentally thanked you.

Yes, you have to make sure the SIM card isn't for T-Mobile's network. Until recently Straight Talk was only offering this SIM, so your best bet would be to buy an AT&T compatible SIM from their website.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrojas:
att sim.

Thats what I did. I put an att compatible gsm sim in a locked Verizon gs3 assigned apn settings but it will at best go on edge. Never 3 or 4g

This is a stock 4.1.2 jb untouched no root nothin. I was under the same assumption that it would work. but Nada. any widom from the masters here?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shakes27:
<rant> Verizon and att use different networks, that will never work, especially with a LOCKED phone. Also, this is the forum for the international s3 (i9300), not the verizon s3. </rant>

Pick up the straight talk activation kit, Verizon uses CDMA signal, not GSM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
The Verizon S3 supports GSM though (their LTE devices from the Rezound [2010 or 11] onwards do). Their LTE devices also come factory unlocked out of the box due to a deal that Verizon made with the FCC in order to be able to use the 750 MHz LTE spectrum. Long story short, Verizon LTE devices will get EDGE and HSPA+ (no LTE) on AT&T. It supports the same bands as the i9300.

I had no idea, last Verizon phone I had was the OG Incredible. Thanks for the info good sir.

Did you consider Galaxy Ace 2? It's not too expensive,the camera is 5 Mpixels,but can shoot 720p video+Jelly Bean coming soon too.
[General Questions and Answers] ItzCrooK2UxD:
The HTC EVO 3D has a CDMA and GSM variant and neither is too pricey. It features 2 5mp cameras on the rear and one forward facing camera (1.2 MP I believe). Hardware specs are nice and it features the same Snapdragon S3 chip as the One S (the One S is overclocked from Qualcomm default clock speed to 1.7 GHz). I have had my CDMA 3D for nearly a year and have been happy with it and ROM/Development support is definitely there.
[General Questions and Answers] r0man.de:
Thanks a lot for your answers!

The EVO is too big and a bit too expensive. But the Ace looks quite interesting.
[General Questions and Answers] RalfvdEnden:
I'm not sure if it's available everywhere, but the Galaxy S Advance should have slightly better specs than the Ace 2 for almost the same price.
[General Questions and Answers] blacklce:
Not sure what you consider Mid class, i assume less expensive? I would look into the droid Razr (original or Maxx) you can get the original for around $50 if you are doing an upgrade and i have seen it go refurbed for $99. It has an 8mp camera and a 1.3mp front facing camera, dual-core processor and the whole thing is thin and beautiful. Battery isnt the best but still get about 8 hours normal usage 12 hours low usage. It comes with 8GB built in storage and an 8GB sd card for a total of 16GB which is awesome if you use the camcorder or camera a lot. You can check out and compare a few prices on Amazon or verizonwireless.com

[Motorola Droid 3] GuyWithDroid:
GPS doesn't work for me on hashcode's ISC build. Simply can't find satellites. I used several applications, and two builds — issue persists.

Is this expected? Any thought? Any fix?

Also, is it possible to set up "multiboot" for two roms (namely Maverick, and Kexec ICS)? May be by installing Maverick instead of stock rom, and ISC in the safe system? Sorry, if it's a dumb question, I have bought the device only recently after lots of happy years with the original milestone.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
GPS works well for me with the 20120905 build. I use it with Google maps/navigation and CarHome Ultra regularly.
[Motorola Droid 3] GuyWithDroid:
Any ideas how to troubleshoot the problem? The device is Verizon xt862, apps and some data were ported from previous installation via titanium backup. Google location services work decently, but once GPS is on, I am lost. Can it be hardware? The phone is refurbished, so...
[Motorola Droid 3] jellman:
i am also curious as to why my gps isnt working on stock/mav/cm9 i tried gps fix, sbf, 906.

edit: works just swimmingly now no problems.
[Motorola Droid 3] djbolden:
Sorry, no. Mine is also an XT862 and it "just worked". I think I did re-install the apps from the Play Store instead of restoring them from backup.
[Motorola Droid 3] bennyjg:
Restoring apps from Ti backup across different ROMs is asking for trouble IMO, as is restoring data: the few times i've tried to a fresh install of the same ROM it seems to turn out I've been dealing with an app data corruption issue all along... I am getting sooooooo sick of installing 50ish apps from play store each time. Not as painful as on the old laggy-as-fk 600mhz LG phone though.

Somehow my last install went bad when the gf chucked water on my phone during an argument. Dried it off, started it up... all my google accounts and associated data were gone from the phone (still there on tab/desky)... and playstore FCed constantly on opening, even on safestrap restores. On ROM reinstalls setup.apk would FC as soon as I touched anything (both the android or the corner of the screen) on CM7,CM9,CM10, stock, darkdroid... had to SBF it. Again.

Tell me how a few drops of water can cause that issue... bizarre. No HW damage or non-system corruption at all. :confused:
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
Titanium doesn't work well for the kexec ROMs in my experience.
[Motorola Droid 3] RoadToNever:
Maybe it was unrelated?
[Motorola Droid 3] GuyWithDroid:
It doesn't work on stock rom either, so it's not ti-backup. I will try to clean-install the next build to be sure.

Hello!

I'm begging You to help me with this issue!

I don't have so much knowledge with network/wifi issues...

So to start here... I have a samsung galaxy s 2 and I also bought a home cinema HT-E5500 (samsung) wich have wifi, dlna, wifi direct and allshare feature.

I'm struggling for days to use the wifi direct and the allshare feature and cant find an answer even on many forums....

I have a "cursed" belkin f5d7234-4-h v5 router... The home cinema and SII (ICS4.04) have the latest updates...

At the direct wifi: I enable it on the phone and than I search devices on the home cinema... I find the SII and I connect them (it says connected to SII and on SII it says its connected to home cinema) but when I try to send a photo music or video through wifi direct from the phone I cant find any device in the list...

What could it be? They don't use the router here and they also CONNECT to each other but I cant send files....

At AllShare feature: I connect both devices to the router: ( in the router settings at LAN > DHCP Client List I can only see my SII listed although the home cinema is on and surfing the web) I enter allshare from home cinema and when I open allshare from SII it says again no device found...

I don't understand the problem... The devices aren't broken since both can surf the web....

I also read the manual for home cinema and SII and followed every steps...

I also want to mention that I my PC is connected through wire to the router and I tried the kies, allshare, and share manager softwares without success... They dont detect the device....

I also tried to connect the home cinema wired to the router and try allshare with SII but, without success.

Should I forward some ports on the router??? If yes... What are they and on wich IP address should I forward them??

(I saw some suggestions on some forums but without specifying the IP address)

Please.. If someone have suggestions on what else should I try please don't hesitate.... I'm searching for an answer for days.

Thank You,

Alex

Hello, I have a problem with my Razr randomly shutdowns. I have an official RSD Retail Brazilian ICS installed. The device is from Rogers Canada but used in Europe. I am the second user, bought it already used. I do not have warranty, if so, I would send it to be repaired but it is not possible.

What have I tried: Wipe the whole device. Wiping the cache. Installed the ICS over the RSD and did not installed any apps but the shutdowns still occured. Pushed the sim card in to the slot, so it does not stick out. I love this device. It is gorgeous, but the shutdowns are really annoying. Please, if you have any advice it is welcomed. Thank you in advance. Bye.
