Hey,

I was recently using my phone that i got a couple days ago ( Bought it unlocked at my local Electronics store ) and i popped in my T-mobile sim card and after 1 day I looked at my status bar, I had H+ on the top right corner. I tested it out on my browser ( I was at a park while this happened ) and the data worked fast like on a T-mobile 4g phone. But it later went away after a couple minutes. I was trying to take a picture with my other phone to prove that it wasnt photoshopped or anything but i was too late. Can someone help me on this situation? Is there a way i can keep it at HSPA+? Please don't take me as a cellular noob :) i repair phones and setup for plenty of people.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
That could be some bizarre glitch.

The AT&T Samsung Infuse should not have the hardware to support T Mobile HSPA+
[General Questions and Answers] Andrew10567:
Yeah, thats what i was curious about. I was happy for the moment being, but when it went away i just had to go with it since its supposed to be at edge speeds.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
I'm actually really weirded out by the fact that it actually worked at all for a period of time, and that you got speeds at that speed. So the question is, what exactly happened?

One may never know:p
[General Questions and Answers] Andrew10567:
Basically, I was in a neighborhood next to the park ( thats the way i get there ) and i was looking at my phone and saw my H+ sign up there so I got pretty excited and tested it out and it was indeed HSPA+. I will go back to the same neighborhood and check again. Also it happened while i was at the gym a couple hours before. Weird stuff.
[General Questions and Answers] gfunkzero:
Probably a bug, sometimes mine thinks it doesnt have a data connection when it actually does, or displays E (for edge) when its actually on 3g

If you catch it happening again do a speedtest - I doubt it will be 4G speeds
[General Questions and Answers] PhotonTorpedo:
I would assume you were seeing an area where T-Mobile has 'refarmed' their HSPA+ network onto the 1900MHz band, which according to Samsung is possible with the hardware.:good:
[General Questions and Answers] Andrew10567:
Refarming makes a lot of sense. And I will definitely speed test it for sure.

I have done adb reboot bootloader

my bootloader is unlocked

but here is where it gets weird for me...

I am trying to install SuperSU-v0.87.zip

and it says

Use the volume keys to highlight Recovery Mode,

Use the power button to select it.

which is easy enough, but when I do this I get an android with a triangle and exclamation mark...

which blocks me from the next progression;

Once in recovery, select Install zip from SD Card

Select choose zip

Choose SuperSU-v0.87.zip, then select yes to install

If I press vol. up and power I get clockwork screen but cannot access default recovery - is there any way to get rid of the CWM I have installed and start over?

Or even better - any way to access stock recovery mode without getting the dreaded android-triangle-bang?

please help

just trying to get superuser to add stickmount :(

thx
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the dreaded android-triangle-bang is the stock recovery. reflash your custom recovery via fastboot and delete the recovery-from-boot.p file in /system/ so that your custom recovery doesnt disappear.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khoikn:
I was messing around in Rom Toolbox Pro in the "Boot Animations" section and decided to change my boot animation.

However, after installing the boot animation and rebooting the device, it's just a plain black screen.

The black screen doesn't allow me to access anything on the device. The screen just remains black. I can tell the Android has booted because I am still getting notifications and all of the LED's still light up.

At this point, pushing any hardware key makes the phone act like it's at the lock screen but still stuck on the black screen.

I can still access CWM and I tried doing a restore of a previous backup but no luck.

Help?

[HTC One X] struff:
I'm surprised I didn't see this question already when I searched. Maybe I am blind.

I want to get a One X (or maybe a One X+ depending on price and release date), I have been dragging my feet because I swap phones often (I have a really old Nokia GAIT phone that pop my current SIM into so I can I take that phone with me out on my JetSki so I won't ruin a good phone and I keep my teeny Aria in my bag for when my Inspire battery dies).

I have seen adaptors for sale online and I've seen videos how to make adaptors, but I have seen mixed reviews on them. Does anyone here have personal experience?

Thank you.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
The two SIMs are the same thickness but the adaptor has to increase that, so you get mixed results depending on how the SIM fits into the phone and how much space there is.

I tried several before finding one that worked in my phone.
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
Like the poster above me said, it depends on the adapter and phone. I bought a cheap one from a local shop for a couple of dollars, looks very similar to those found on eBay, it has a very thin plastic layer where the micro SIM fits, so doesn’t add much thickness. Has worked fine with the few devices I tested so far (2 phones and a USB mobile broadband modem). With one of the phones it was a very tight fit, but managed to push it in and take it out. but be careful not to put too mush pressure, otherwise you might not be able to get it out.
[HTC One X] gtmaster303:
When you cut your regular sim down to a micro sim, save the pieces and just tape it back to together. Worked fine for me. Make sure you use a strong tape though, otherwise you'll have pieces of sim card stuck in your slot.
[HTC One X] Quiksilver78:
Go to Vodafone (or your local carrier's store) when I went back to regular SIM, all I had to do was ask, and they gave me a free adapter. Worth asking :)

Otherwise, I think they go for 50 cents or maybe 1 euro at your local electronics store.
[HTC One X] struff:
That's exactly the kind of concerns I have. Can either of you recommend what worked for you?

Thanks!
[HTC One X] struff:
Presumably a new phone would come with the proper SIM so I wouldn't have to cut mine (I have a small stack of old ones from every new phone purchase). But even if I did have to cut my own, I'd rather try to avoid the tape idea because of that exact reason.

Hmm. I hadn't even thought of asking my AT&T store about that. The girl I usually talk to there is awesome so if there is a way to get one from them, she would know. Thanks for the idea!
[HTC One X] BenPope:
I just wandered into a local phone accessory store and told them I'd buy one if it worked, she wasn't pleased but by about the third one we got one that fitted.

Hello all first of all i installed all versions of hypersensation rom's on my own way. I come from different rom's like sense4 LG3.0 and FXP and Remics and Feralab. I personally adjust my build.prop for the assert(getprop ro.build.device etc.) Then i boot into cwm and wipe/format everything but NOT the sdcard. Then mount manualy system/data/cache and sdcard, now install any ics rom u want this is working for me all the time. Forget fix permission because it isnt working from cwm for a long time now on our x10i's x( . And a small heads up on hypersensation update3 it does not have a home launcher app and also no browser app. < u can flash stock gx homeui from vashista post. Or like i did i installed seclauncher.apk extracted from latest Remics rom. Because default one needs library's like dlna and few others declared in manifest in app. So deleted that1. And i installed/extracted browser from hypersensation update2 and placed in system manualy with correct permissions. I hope that this post was usefull for anyone xP.

I'm trying to install the 4.1.2 update using the adb sideload method from Android Central but my Windows cmd window states a message saying

* cannot read 'sideload' *

Any ideas to what I'm doing wrong?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aletheus:
Rightclick in the adb window, choose 'open command prompt here' that way you don't have to manually navigate to the right directory. Once the command prompt is open, type:

adb sideload {name of file}

NOT a developer here, just have some experience with the basics. Good luck to you.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rip93:
Ok. Real noob question. How do you get to the adb window to right click?:o
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aletheus:
You dont. Navigate to your adb platform tools folder, right-click in the window (just anywhere in the empty space), and select "open command prompt here" --in the same folder that adb.exe resides in---

Then you can type (in the command window)

adb devices

just to make sure you're connecting to your device, if so then type

adb sideload {name of file}

don't type {name of file}, just type the name of the file you're wanting to sideload, including the file extension (the 4.1.2 update I'm guessing) --make sure the file is in the same folder as adb.exe so you don't need to type the path name...

Hope that helps

The side load command seems to not be included in older versions of adb. The list of adb commands comes up because an invalid command was typed. I had an older version of adb that could detect the n7 but didn't recognize the sideload command. A newer version of adb I have works fine.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibakle:
I had the same problem. I typed "adb sideload file" and the output was the same as if you typed adb only. I only have Nexus Toolkit. I solved it by updating the Android Platform Tools with the SDK Manager.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aletheus:
You have to issue the command from the platform-tools folder (or the directory in which adb.exe resides). You can do this in one of two ways. Open cmd.exe and navigate to the platform-tools directory using the cd command, or open the folder in explorer (win), right-click n the folder window (anywhere there's empty space --just make sure you're not selecting a folder or file--) and choose "open command prompt here." Then type

adb sideload {path to file/name of file}

Where "path to file" is the directory path to the file you're wanting to sideload, and "name of file" is the filename+file extension. No spaces between file path and file name, just the slash.

It's easiest to just put the file in the folder with adb.exe ad you can omit the path to file, and just type the file name.

If i do adb devices i got

so the connection should not be the problem right?

Eurika!

I had the problem also, I was trying to do the update from a Mac.

I found that even with the update zip in the same folder as the adb executable you had the provide the full path AND filename for the update zip in order for adb to be able to find it and read it.

Probably not an issue for PC users as the OS will look in the local directory by default whereas OSX and Linux will only search according to the values set in the PATH environment variable.

My wife has been talking about the Kindle Fire HD to be a Christmas present to our children. Now I'm a Google Nexus phone owner and enjoy the rooted and custom ROM's very much.

I'm comparing the KFHD and wonder if another Android device like the Google Nexus 7 wouldn't come with the same stuff as the KFHD and give me a more open system to fiddle with.

What are the main reasons for going after the KFHD over any other android tablet (considering the KFHD and Nexus 7 almost have the same price point)

Will things like Amazon Prime not work on android tablets? From the Prime web page I only see an iPad support but nothing generic like an android tablet.

I would appreciate any feedback or experience.

I do have an original kindle, but hardly use it anymore, since I can do the same stuff on my Thrive android tablet.
