[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbelzapf:
Hello everyone!

I have a usb HDD connected to one of these android HDMI sticks (MK808, to be precise)

The drive itself works wonderfully, I just noticed that it never sleeps.

So there's always some random access going on in the background (mediaserver?) and/or android just does not spin down usb drives.

I have no idea what android is even doing on the HDD all the time. If it's the mediaserver, can it be configured to ignore usb devices? .nomedia files don't seem to help as I already had one in the drive's root when I noticed the issue

I'd love to get some help on how to solve this problem.

edit: sorry, I did not notice the sticky -.- If a mod could move this to Q&A, I'd be thankful

Exhuming this thread: I face the same issue. The USB HDD never sleeps with android standby. Apparently it's a dual boot device. Running windows the HDD sleeps perfectly after a while of inactivity. Hence the hardware is not the issue. How to convince android to let the drive sleep?

Are there any that actually work? Google Skymap won't change position when I point the device anywhere else. SkEye changes position, but can't find the moon when I'm looking right at it.

My compass is working fine.

These types of apps would help with nighttime landscape photography, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] compact_bijou:
Hmm, Google Sky, InvisiVerse ans SkyEye all work fine for me.

If you're in the UK I think TPE and Rainwatch would be a better suited to night time landscape photography :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Mr_Bester:
Thanks compact_bijou,

I have and use TPE a lot, I was just wanting to use something to help me find the north star and milky way and constellations before it gets dark so I can set up my composition while I can still see. I'll look into Rainwatch, unless it's UK only. I couldn't find InvisiVerse.

I'm running stock, so I don't know why Skymap and SkEye won't work correctly. On my captivate, neither work, but I think that has to do with the Rom I'm running.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi guys,

I have a Verizon galaxy S3 and have a ROM installed that allows me to use any sim card I want. Just had to set up the company's APN

and walla.. any network with any GSM sim card.

Flaw .. this ROM is not so stable.. and doesn't remember my widgets after a reboot.. or I cant use internet during a phone call (I.E Google nav/ waze at the same time as a phone call). and also it keeps searching for GPS constantly while in one of my map apps.

I'm using JellyWiz_RLS7_Hybrid

Does anyone know of a stable ROM that will allow you to use it as a world GSM phone?

Thank you in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] levilib:
I believe it can be done on any rom as long as you are rooted. You will need a 3rd party app to edit the APN. I tested my phone with a T-mobile sim today and i have not installed any custom roms, just rooted my phone and it works. see here for the instructions that worked fine for me!

FAQ:

Q: What is Zeus MOD?

A: Zeus MOD comes from Ihftp69's Sense 2.1 GB Skyraider ROM, this MOD Removes the notifications/Quick Settings tabs at the bottom of the Status bar, and now to switch pages you simply tap on the carrier label header. (where it says Verizon Wireless).

Q: Can I still use the Horizontal Quick Settings, and do the long press functions still work?

A: Yes, all functions of the Horizontal Quick Settings work as they should (long press carriel label to have them show), just make sure to disable the "QUICK QUICK SETTING" toggle when using them.

EDIT: delete
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
horizontal quick settings require a long press on the carrier caption to activate
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Thank you, Sir.

the horizontal quick settings work, you just need to disable "quick quicksettings" toggle. u can still get to the vertical quick settings though at all times by pressing header, so it breaks the one tweak.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niffum:
The N7105 is the 'LTE' version but I guess you a already know that one. The only thing I can think of is the modem is different. Seen a few posts about dumping a N7100 rom on a N7105 where you have to then send it the lte modem.

Indeed it is funny. I've been searching for 2 hours trying to find how to see what stupid words the keyboard ha added to my dictionary, like passwords, no luck.

I also searched for days trying to work out why after I installed CWM I couldn't boot into it. Never found a solution on here or Google... But if I hold volume up(instead of down), home and the power button it will start in CWM.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayabusa08:
No FM radio on 7105. 7105 is lte aka 4g. All others is the same.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtdc:
judging by slowness and non-maxmimization of even 3G, i see no point in shelling out more for the 4G model.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onslaught86:
N7105 also supports 42Mbps DC-HSPA+, where the N7100 does not.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speculatrix:
I used to think so, but here in the UK, the 3G services all run on 2.1GHz (properly called UMTS-2100, sometimes WCDMA). The problem is that 2.1GHz is a really stupid frequency for good propagation over distance, it's fine in an urban area.

the european/ETSI-specific LTE frequencies will be 2600 and 800Mhz, the idea is that the former is for urban, the latter for wide areas.

so my theory is a double-win: LTE data rates and better coverage for data.

of course, the problem being that mobile operators haven't provisioned enough backhaul circuits so even if the radio interface is capable of 10's of megabits/s, each cell's uplink and downlinks are not capable of that.

backtracking now to see which part borked it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] crazy talk:
these might be the files we need. hard to say for sure. but i'm not making any progress. so i give up.BTW, pushing just the libs alone was enough to lose NFC in the settings, and cause some other weirdness like 'shell' gaining superuser permission over and over again.

did all my testing with root explorer, might be the cause of the problem. don't have ADB setup infront of me..

I tried to do an adb shell push and it keeps messing up my NFC. It weird because when I lose my NFC I can start the sign in process on wallet but when NFC works I get that stupid release keys... ISIS it is then lol

Hmm, I'm not sure what you did. Worked out fine on my phones. Actually, I have 2 Galaxy note 2 phone. 1 with Cmenard's rom & other with jedi 12 rom.

first, did you clear data uninstall wallet from your phone? and reboot? It worked out well for ssenbonzakura!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
I am so frustrated with this!

I have tried every frigging method, on stock and Jedi master.

I have wiped everything a hundred times, and no matter what method I try, I always get stuck on "setting up wallet for purchases"

Even my old reliable VALK8 backup, which used to have a working wallet is getting stuck at this point.

I tried reseting the app, flashing the "forget wallet" zip found on the link above, wiping everything, doing fresh installs, nothing. Always get stuck at the same exact place.

What gives?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
So after reading and reading about this issue, it seems my secure element is shot, and I will never again be able to use wallet on this phone.

I don't suppose tmo would give me a new phone just because my secure element is shot.

After all I think wallet is the only app that uses this, and it would be a bit suspicious that I would know it is shot.

In other words, I'm screwed! :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PapaWangsta:
Hmmm how did ya diagnose your secure element is shot? From what I read there's internal circuitry prevents it from damaging the secure element.

Have you try the post #18 yet? You should start from scratch, clear wallet's cache/date, uninstall, reboot and flash the zip. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MarkP80nj:
Yeah, I've tried that. I've tried all methods available in these and other forums.

Since even the backup I have that was once working, isn't working any more, it seems my secure element being shot is the only explanation.

I've read from a few Google searches that wallet can indeed damage your secure element.

Not sure if it's true or not, but since this all started after I soft bricked my device, I dunno.

It would be great if the was a fix though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PapaWangsta:
weird, that's the easiest method to flash. If that don't work, don't know what to tell ya. BTW, what does the wallet say, when you tried to flash?

Yep, once your current wallet isn't working eventhough you trying to restore a previous working wallet backed is not gonna work. Wallet always syncs with google.

Good! Now your bank account is safer. Great news!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hurrpancakes:
I'm pretty sure that Google Wallet does not work with the screen off, and to use it, you need 2 taps on a sensor. One to activate Wallet (and then you enter your app-specific PIN), and then another to actually pay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] agrumpy1122:
Right the screen has to be on for NFC to work...plus they don't have your bank account...they have your debit card number at worst case. which if something was to happen the large banks can return within 24 hours..just like if someone steals the card number. Either way your protected.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Catch22-:
Yesterday I flashed the JB rom by Crash (oh, ze irony). It worked for an hour, but then it rebooted and hung at the Samsung logo at boot. When going in to CWM i saw that the /efs could not be found, and I dont have a backup of my efs folder.

After trying nearly everything today, i cant seem to get my own IMEI back. First it was empty, now its the generic one (0049****). Currently im back on GB because i cant get on my mobile network with ICS or JB with the generic IMEI.

I tried most of the tutorials to get it back, tried the GSII_Repair tool, none of them seem to work.

I also tried the .nv/.nv.bak removal/backupping/replacing, but that doesnt seem to help either. Problem in some tutorials is that i have to move the imei folder and the .nv_data file, both of which are not present in my /efs folder.

Can anyone help me out? The phone runs stable and fine now under GB (with the generic IMEI it can work with GB apparently), but i would really like to go to ICS again
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThaiDai:
You can use (I have a developer IMEI and I use this workaroung right now.) it with ICS or JB. After a reboot you have to change the pin number. After this you'll get your network connection. That was one reason why I used GB a long time - but today I switched to JB (eybee) and had to use this way.
