hi all new poster to the xda community i have been a avid android ever since the htc magic (mytouch) rooted with cm 6 then moved up to a x10 now i have the xperia go its a nice phone just a few niggles the fact that its stil sitting on gb and there are no custom roms for it .what happened to the time of my magic where phones didnt have set roms it was a free for all i would reali like to see so dev bieng done on the go. mainly because sony screwed up the sd mounting points i have been on to support and they keep trying to fob me off that its the way apps are written there is not going to be a fix when they finally release ics so i no how knowledgeable people are on here i changed the mounting points and that worked utill i plugged it into my pc the internal mem (thinking its a sd card wont mount to the phone anymore) any news or advise would be good i think alot of people would be very happy with cm9 or 10

thanks in advance

I'm with you nosmaster. I'm about to pick one of these up and have been waiting for a while for the US release of the Advance (BLT claims they just recieved the first release of the phones today so I'll be ordering when I get home). Would love to see a nice simple instructions on rooting this phone and a stable CM version of ICS to go along with it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nosmaster:
There is a thread I read on here that I used to root but things are very limited I have found a tread on here of how to port from what it says most xperia ones can be ported to the go there's a Tut but I'm not to sure about it but it seems very simple for someone that's done it be for a hour max would realize like to use cm10 but no one seems to be interested

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] auxilioabalto:
Hi all,

First of all, I want to say thanks for all the help and knowledge I've found on this website - it's amazing.

I've come to you because my sister bought an i5500 from a girl who was on the Telus network in Canada. My sister is on SaskTel, and I believed I would be able to unlock it after looking at xda-dev for some time. After several hours of rooting and attempting unlock, I finally got the BML5 file and opened it in hex editor. After several more hours, I managed to locate my SIM unlock code - 01234567 (Which I find odd, by the way).

Anyway, my sister has since gotten a SIM card from SaskTel and when we insert it, no SIM code prompt appears. I then tried it with my Fido card, and it did the exact same thing - the phone acts as though there isn't any SIM card in. It does, however, state that there's no signal.

Does this mean that the phone is already unlocked? If it is unlocked, I don't know how it happened - the girl that originally owned the phone never hacked the phone or anything. If it is unlocked, why won't my Fido SIM card, or my sister's SaskTel SIM card work?

The other issue I've been having is that the phone will suddenly turn off every 5 or 10 minutes. Could it have happened when I rooted the phone? I used SuperOneClick to do it, then command prompt to pull the img file to my laptop. Did I partially brick it?

Thank you so much for any help you guys can give me; I'd like to think of myself as fairly technically apt, but at the moment, I'm completely at a loss as to how to fix this.

Again, thanks.

---------

EDIT: Found some new info: Whenever the phone restarts, the date, time, and time zone are all reset back to standard. Does this mean that the battery is shot? The phone is less than a year old...

useful thread

Well I don't know about the rebooting, but what I recommend you read this thread,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1335548

specially the last part, which states:

• Useful Codes
Quote:
*#7465625# - Dial code to check if phone it's network locked.
#7465625*638*UNLOCK-CODE# - Replace UNLOCK-CODE with your 8 digits number, then dial. Phone might reboot.

If you have reached the end of the tutorial and you wasn't able to obtain the unlock code( find numbers like 00000000 / 11111111 ), then it means that your phone it's "Hard Locked" or doesn't have the unlock code provided with the phone. I don't know any solution until now for this problem. For most of the people here, this works flawlessly, for some doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] auxilioabalto:
Thanks for this. I used that link to root and get the code for the phone, but now I'm confused with the lack of PIN unlocking screen. Does that mean that I'm going to have to backup/flash with stock ROM? I'm totally fine with flashing it back to stock if it's not, in fact, I've looked for a stock ROM in case that was the issue. Since it's a Canadian model though, (GT-I5500M) I can't find any. There's a list somewhere on XDA with all the I5500 ROMs, but it says that there aren't any from Canada. Options? Ideas?

Thanks again for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] auxilioabalto:
Anyone with any other ideas? Right now I'm trying to decide whether or not we should just sell the phone and get a new one, so any advice/help would be appreciated so much.

Did you check on samfirmware.com?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] auxilioabalto:
Thanks, I did, but there isn't anything for Canada on there. A new problem just cropped up: the WiFi won't turn on. So, even if I wanted to flash it with an official firmware, I don't think I could - I have to use the market to download an app to flash, right?

Hello

I'm just a begginer in this and my english is not that good, so sorry if i dont make sense...

The issue is that im receiving all the sms in separte threads. I did this same thing with ICS and CM9 mms app and no single issue.

I replaced SecMms.apk and the SecExchange.apk cause i remember something similar back in the days with the official ICS for the SGS2 and aosp apps.

So the question is, what im doing wrong? What else i need in order to receive the messages in one single thread?

Thanks in advance for all the help that you guys could bring me in here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
That is the problem..the AOSP MMS app when used in a stock ROM leads to unthreaded messages..you need to port the apk properly to be used in Stock ROMs..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverstone787:
Thats why im asking, to see if some one knows wich .apks are needed besides the ones that I already move to /system/app. In ICS I just move mms.apk from CM9 and no problems at all.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaner123:
Hi,

I tried taking notes with Supernote,but it has one HUGE bug which makes the app nearly unusable for me. When using the physical keyboard, after reaching the bottom of the page, it bounces around so I can't see what I am typing. I believe this is a known bug, but I don't think there is any solution.

In Freenote, when adding graphic annotations, they do not "stick" to the page. So if I type up some stuff, then add in a chemical formula or whatever, and resize the page... the annotation will not change size with the page. So it ends up on top of text or whatever. It is annoying and I don't know a solution.

Any ideas, or any ideas for a better notetaking app? Anything that can use the physical keyboard, and can also use handwritten text.

Thanks

So I am tired of using preview builds and custom roms,glitchy software and such, I was using a custom ROM, so I go online and search how to go back to stock rom, I found an article that said for the galaxy s3 you just need to do the same thing that you did when you rooted it, go to odin, and flash [PDA] thing to stockbell66.tar file, and I did so, but after the phone rebooted it stayed at the samsung glowing logo forever, I have to OS on my phone now, I tried flashing the stock one and it is now stuck at the samsung logo, I am still able to go back in download mode, and even recovery, but what do I do next? how do I install the stock bell firmware back on to my phone? and how do I fix the soft brick?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] twanskys204:

[HTC Rezound] richii0207:
As many of you know, there are high numbers of so-called "tweaks" you can add to your build.prop for "performance". However, after testing some of them I noticed quite a few actually hindered performance. I am not a follower of these "placebo" affects as many are consumed by. I stumbled across this article which was written by someone who shared the same results. Sort of a MYTHBUSTERS but for build.prop edits.

[LG Optimus 3D] wesley14:
hi to all,

heres my question

i installed a custom rom in my optimus 3d su760 and it is overclocked, i noticed that batt life is shorter cause of the overclock kernel in the rom.

i have a backup of my stock rom and using recovery i restored it,

now im on stock , and my question is, will it still be overclocked? or it will be set to stock again? do i need to do anything else?
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
No it will not be overclock it reverts back to the stock clock of 1GHZ.

You can use custom rom and set the clock to 1000mhz with apps such as No-frills CPU Control AnTuTu CPU Master and SetCPU for Root Users

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/ci/documents/detail/2/motorola-jelly-bean-rebate_en-US

Basically, if Motorola doesn't upgrade your 2011 Motorola smartphone to Jelly Bean they will (most likely) give you a $100 credit towards a new phone. Limited details right now but I signed up for alerts. Rumors are X2 will be one of these phones.

So if you are looking to a new phone I would wait a few weeks. I'm probably going to be switching to the Razr Maxx HD (complicated name!) when it comes out and a $100 credit would be amazing!

Opinions? Anyone still use an X2 besides me?
[Motorola Droid X2] raymond513:
I'm not so sure if it would be worth it. You need to trade in your old phone and the x2 is selling for at least 100 on swappa and other sites so why not choose cash over a gift card?
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
It's tempting...the $100 plus I do like how strong the build quality of this motorola phone is and the razr's do seem pretty tough as well, but I will probably pass and get something like a samsung note 2 or an htc incredible x that does/will have an unlocked bootloader. Plus I dont want to trade in my X2...rather keep it as a backup or wifi device that my kid can play on.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
We're definitely not getting JB. $100 is nice, but it's probably towards only moto devices. Which is fine. Razr HD for me when my upgrade is active.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jauk:
Wow that much? I paid $100 for mine...
[Motorola Droid X2] raymond513:
Well I checked a few days ago and the were going for about 120 or 130
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
How long does the offer last? My upgrade isnt available until April of next year. $100 off a $550 phone is still expensive. I'll probably end up switching from Motorola anyway when the time comes.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
Your upgrade should bring it down to $200, plus the $100 off. And since you have moto now, they should honor it well into next year. My upgrade is in March, but I might swing in around January and see if I can get it a month or two early.

Definitely sticking with moto. I've had numerous Samsung devices that I've needed to have replaced. Not a single problem with my DX2, and it takes a serious beating. Moto definitely makes the best physical handsets, period.
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
I agree about Motorola phones being built well. My x2 is over 8months and still looks new. I had the LG Ally before this and it was a good phone too...it looked brand new when I gave it away it just needed a new battery.
[Motorola Droid X2] jbzcar:
My DX2 also looks like it just came out of the box. :)

We still have an Ally getting used everyday in our household. It looks a bit worn, but not bad. It even survived a run in with a toilet, lol.

with the work of DZK its made me want a phone capable of full Jelly capabilities. :rolleyes:

Droid X2 CM10 A2
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
I got my $100 credit towards the razr HD and it is sick. It is probably the best choice out there from Moto, and it makes the x2 look like a joke.

[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
Tempted to bite, rep said I could keep my unlimited data and same plan
[Motorola Droid X2] Not_A_Dev:
Just to clarify, does the phone have to be returned to VZW in an unrooted state, for them to honor the $100 offer?
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
I showed the sales rep that I was running CM7 and they took it no problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
That may not be the same for everyone though. You just may have gotten lucky.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
Why would Verizon care though? VZ isn't losing money. Moto just parts the phones out for refurb units. The process has very little to do with VZ. Honestly, I can't think of a single reason why they would deny a rooted or totally custom phone. If you upgrade and turn it in, it's not the carriers problem, and it's not even Moto's problem as they wipe everything anyway.

However, I have dealt with some real asshats before at VZ. If you keep it turned off, you should pass no problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
That's just what I'm saying though. There are so many Verizon stores and all it takes is just one of them to be an "asshat" and deny someone because they are rooted and all. Not saying it will happen every time. But its just safe to avoid it a wipe it anyway. Plus, I believe in wiping everything before ditching your phone anyway. Its the safest way to avoid someone getting your info.
[Motorola Droid X2] Not_A_Dev:
And by wiping, I assume you mean sbf'ing to an unrooted state?
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
Might as well do it the most effective way possible.
[Motorola Droid X2] phoenixs4r:
This only applies towards another Motorola phone? That sucks, I will never own another Motorola phone again. The D2G and the DX2 are the worst phones I've ever touched and the bionic was decent but blur ruined it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
Suit yourself. I'm loving my RAZR HD. Moto knows they screwed quite a few people and they are really trying to make things right. The difference between the X2 and D3 compared to the HD and M is practically night and day. Not only in specs, but also quality. Blur almost doesn't exist on my HD. True story.
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
I think I'm going to do it, nobody can deny moto makes great hardware. I really liked my HTC TP2, but this is a more solid piece of hardware. And $100 for a Razr HD, I get to keep my unlimited data and my current plan? no brainer.
[Motorola Droid X2] Not_A_Dev:
Just got back from my local VZ store (which is not a helpful place ever). My upgrade date is March 19, 2013 and I wanted to play around with the Razr Maxx HD. Sales rep claimed he knows nothing about the $100 credit. Said VZ would give me $28 for my X2. I laughed and walked out.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I would have shown him the link in the OP and made him get on the horn. Novice sales reps are both a pain in the rear and fun to amaze.
[Motorola Droid X2] rsswga:
maybe if the 100$ would go towards something besides a moto device...good find thou, thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
The point of the $100 is for moto customer loyalty... I doubt they would buy back their old POS for $100 so you could pick up an iPhone.
[Motorola Droid X2] joesherman19:
How do you get to keep your unlimited and only pay $100? For that price, you'd have to upgrade, and that includes limited data, right?
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
Not if he's grandfathered in.
[Motorola Droid X2] three west:
well, I didn't do it, because my wife is using her own upgrade now, but the guy at Verizon said I would keep it. I was very clear and asked him multiple times.

Hello everyone

So I've been using Xscope and boat browsers. When I click on a download link, it would show a download dialog, in which I confirm to download the file. However, I just installed FasterDownloads, a download manager for android, and now when I click on a download link, the download dialog would pop up with the option to "open" the file, or to "download" the file. When I choose "download", the native browser download manager would dl the file. When I choose to "open" the file, Fasterdownloads would open and download the file. However, this only happens when I click on .pdf file link. When I tried other formats such as .zip, it doesn't give me the option to "Open" the file. (in other words, the only option is to download the file with the browser's native download manager)

So my questions are:

1) How do i make it so that there would be an "open" option for other file extensions such as .zip?

2) What is Fasterdownloads doing that the browsers wil give such an "open" option? Is there any other way that I can set other programs to "open" the download? For example, maybe I can get an PDF program to "open" a pdf file when I click on a pdf link.

thank you
