[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zen0s:
Hello, I recently un-rooted my S3 and set everything back to stock but I ran into a little issue with unknown CSC and FCing Messenger. After searching the forum, I did find couple downloadable CSC links but I wasn't able to find "PHE" Spain CSC. When I do type in *#272*IMEI# I do see the sale code PHE at the top and I have one selection BUT it's not even named... it's just blank selection as shown on attached screenshot. It seems easily fixed problem but I have no idea where to find this PHE CSC file.

How do I go about fixing this issue?? Please any advices would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] resolved:
Water damaged Amaze probably just needs LCD replacement (phone powers on, vibrates, makes sound, bottom of LCD screen makes a weak attempt at glowing).

Bought LCD screen from ebay, decided I didn't have time to attempt the repair myself. Took it to a phone repair joint who has given the unit back, claiming that their attempt to separate the LCD/digitiser (the heat applied) caused the glue to bubble up and they didn't think it'd be a clean repair. It looks like they attempted to pry at the chassis in 3 places, so I have no interest in arguing with them.

Essentially, I'm in Australia but travelling to SF in a month. Can anybody (privately?) recommend a place to have the phone repaired within a few days? Will discard the new LCD screen and simply have someone replace the LCD+Digitiser combo for simplicity.

I read the forum rules and seeking advice on a commercial repair place in SF doesn't seem to break any rules.

Appreciate any advice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bos2333:
If you're going to replace it as a combo it's really not all that hard. The separating the LCD from the digitizer is the only really dangerous part, as long as you can follow instructions...should only take an hour or so.

I downloaded the new Nexus 4 system dump into my external sd card, so what do I do now?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
You don't install the system dump, you'll have to wait until source code is released for your device before a ROM comes out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desirech4cker:
Flush it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihahn:
It could work, but you would have to port it and flash it through cwm. See a guide on xda how to port roms, create your own updater-script, find a working update binary and hope it boots ;)

I would wait until google releases it officially...

So. Now that we have root we can manipulate the system ui and frame work correct? Just adb pull them, apktool them, make changes and build and push back to phone. Number one thing i want to fix is this annoyance:

Its due to the big ass lte icon att uses.

Also I hate having the carrier on the status bar iPhone style. It should be above the drawer pull in the notification drawer like stock ICS. Anything else we want to try and change people?
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
No need to pull or push anything via ADB, you have root, use a root explorer. No need to use apk tool either ;)

[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
Well im talking about modding PNG images inside the SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk files. That would allow us to say have 5 bar WiFi icons to match the 5 bar network icons. Also redo the lte indicator because its crazy huge and that gap between WiFi and network is awful
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
Yes, so am I.

Why would you need to use adb or apk tool to do that?
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
Here's an example. I just changed my wifi icons to the way that I like them using root explorer, winrar, and photoshop, nothing else.

You cannot properly edit XML and the like to change colors etc without extracting it with apktool... plus I prefer to not have to do the tedious work of replacing numerous pngs on my phone
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
I'm sorry, I thought the title of this thread was "Modding system pngs".

Forgive me for trying to save you time, and effort.

As you were bro ;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
Ya I didn't know what else to call it at the time. But extracting with apktool also properly extracts 9patch pngs... I don't know if you've ever worked with them before but that or the 9 patch tool is the only way to so that. I appreciate the help
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
Actually that's not true either, it's not "the only way", and once again requires much more time and effort.

You obviously have your own way of doing things. Whatever is easiest for you bro.... have at it, and good luck! ;)
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
K now I'm curious what method do you use to work with 9 patches. The "own way" I have is the way I learned from the pros who wrote the manuals on how to theme ... to get a 9 patch extracted correctly you use apktool or a 9 patch tool.
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
Stick with your "pros" bro, once again good luck with your "project" ;)

Sent from my A H Delicious Maxxx!
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
No seriously you say that that isn't the only way. If you don't extract 9 patches correctly then you can't work with them. Just Google it up... I know you can swap in a few pngs here or there like you've done but it doesn't look very complete... what about changing colors etc?

I just don't understand your attitude whatsoever. All I was saying in my op was asking confirmation that we could do that and asking for others opinions on what they'd like to change... you turned this into a pissing match by not wanting to admit that the preferred way to theme properly is by using apktool or something similar to not just theme but theme elegantly if you will... I've created whole themes that change entire system colors... etc. Try doing that with your root explorer...

Again thanks for "your help" :rolleyes:
[Motorola Atrix HD] ATGAdmin:
Pissing match? Wow!

Was offering help, as it seems you're a bit behind the times.

As I'll say again. Good luck with your project ;)

Sent from my A H Delicious Maxxx!
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
Again if I am behind in the times please enlighten me bro. All you've told me about so far is replacing pngs using your phones root explorer. The last time I looked at the theme tutorials, apktool and 9patch compiler was what we used. What do you use if I'm behind in the times? Seriously.

[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
And I have never had problems before with people in xda... your style of "help" is unorthodox and not how we did things in the desire HD forums... just goes to show you how different things can be from device to device.

An example of what I would have expected a normal person to say to the part about me saying that you have to use apktool or something similar to extract apks to edit XML etc is oh ya your right. IF another way existed then you would say what is was at that time.

Unbelievable.

And i truly got pissed when you undermine me by saying that I had my own way of doing things, when that's exactly how the rest of us have been doing them. And to keep speaking down to me since you know of better ways, but then never telling them... and putting quotes around my project like its something freaking retarded... and as far as the adb pull goes, it worked very well for me on my desire HD for doing my work. I see you're not very experienced using it then?

adb devices

adb remount

adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk

That is the accepted way of getting your sysui onto your work folder at least where im from. But I'll bet you have some secret amazing way of doin that as well.

Good riddance.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wing_addict_usa:
Yeah I would forget the 2.4 but I need that range sometimes when I am in a different room. Its true though, even right next to the router, 5 ghz is much weaker.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farfromovin:
Yeah, 5ghz sucks unless your in a super crowded wifi environment and need the separation. Speaking of suck, the Note 2 wifi speed is generally disappointing to me I have full strength on my laptop and my phone in a room next door to a router and get 23mbps with the lappy and 11 on my Note2. Sometimes it'll be the same speed, but only about 25% of the time. Usually it's sub par...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Grift-:
er no you dont need root....

1. Download any version of CWM from here

2. Get desired rom (kernel too if you want)

3. Place everything in Externel SDcard

4. Boot into stock recovery (Power+Home+Vol up)

5. Use stock recovery to flash CWM

6. Backup Current stock rom

7. Wipe the usual

8. Flash Custom rom (Or just kernel)

9. Reboot

10. ?? Profit ??

Now you got Custom rom or Kernel + Full stock rom backup (can always get stock rom from sammobile if you lose it)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayk32:
Ok, but I figure if your going to flash a Custom Rom you might aswell be rooted. :)

I've searched a little bit around about the Samsung Apps Store on a rooted device and I think it's only compatible on TW-based ROMs so CM10 might have some problems. Any ideas on how to get the .apk of Samsung Apps Store for a ROM that's not TW-based? Or if there's a way to get the Shadowgun and Asphalt 7 .apk's for Sg3 for free.

Those of you in Canada, did you have to pay tax? Or is it $309 outright?

One more question, can we preorder the phone or do we have to wait til Nov 13 to buy the phone online?

Thanks~!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_86:
I'm sure there will be taxes collected somehow... as for when we order I'm not sure. Hoping earlier then the 13 so we get it on that day. So in other words a pre-order.

Thanks~!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_86:
Doubt it. Maybe 2-7 days after. There hasn't been any leaked info about anyone carrying it in stores in Canada yet. Same with carriers. The only carrier that I have seen that has any info on if they will be carrying it is tmobile. That's it.

I could be wrong tho.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aDVnatgae:
Buying from bestbuy/futureshop will be more expensive.

And you will have to pay tax on it aswell.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcheung28:
Oh how come they won't sell it for the same price?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanBSTi:
For profit. They know people will pay $20 or 30 more because they won't buy it online. You might be able to price match it if your lucky.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_86:
Profit. Cover costs like shipping. Marketing etc. Wouldn't be surprised if I see if for 450+ in stores.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanBSTi:
Not really. They get bulk discounts. You will be surprised on how much bestbuy/futureshop actually gets them for.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcheung28:
Well hopefully it won't be too expensive... When I got the nexus 7 from best buy when it first came out, they charged the same as play store (259 CAD).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James.UBC:
$403.20 after tax

btw, anybody here on wind/mobilicity?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MakoVince:
As an employee of best buy in Canada I can tell you that the company won't be selling the phone outright. (Galaxy nexus wasn't sold either) Makes absolutely no profit (all profits come from activations not phone sales) so your best bet, and mine, is the Google play store.

UK buyer here. I was under the impression that the £279 for the 16 gig included tax.

After having another look on the "Devices on Google Play Terms of Sale (Great Britain)" page it states:

All prices include VAT.

All applicable taxes will be presented at checkout, even if they are not displayed on the product page.

So what is it, the price shown includes VAT, or it doesnt and an extra 80 quid will be thrown on top of the 279?

Short answer no

Long answer: they run their networks on different technologies. Sprint uses CDMA while AT&THE uses GSM. The devices are not compatible with each others networks.

You can however use the AT&T note on T-Mobile. It actually works quite well. Of course it has to be unlocked. You can use it on any carrier that uses a sim card when its unlocked.

It's been said that the human ear can't differentiate anything above 160kbps. But I'm not a scientist. 128kbps is what I would use, if space was an issue. Even less for ringtones. 92kbps, probably. On my PC, I use 320kbps. Because I can. Or 256kbps if it's from iTunes.
