[General Questions and Answers] Papi1986:
So I talked to samsung representative on online chat and she advised me to send the phone to samsung service center in US (that means to someone in USA, and that person to service center, when it's gonna be repaired it will be sent back to that person, than that person will send it to me - it costs around 50$ each way - that makes it 100$ - so it's like 1/3 of the price I paid for the phone. If others methods will not solve my problem I think I'll do it.

My question here is - the things I done before - like unlocking the bootloader and rooting plus flashing to oldest firmware - probably may have voided the warranty - but it's possible to get everything back to the original status - do I only have to un-root the phone and re-lock the bootloader to send it back to warranty? or I need to do something more? I understand that the apllications I had (rootexplorer, terminal or the superuser) won't show up when I'll do the factory reset or factory flash and later won't connect the phone to my google account?

This will cost me loads of money (for me it's a lot) - so I need to be sure that if I decide to do it they will accept it...

Best Regards and Thanks in advance for any advises

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
My mother has a Nexus 7 and wants to "put some CD's on it." Now I could do it for her, but I would prefer to show her how to do it herself.

Problem is, I have yet to find something simple enough to do so. She shouldn't have to concern herself with what format to encode to, where to store them on her PC, it needs to rip, encode (including album art) to AAC/M4A and then copy.

Anyone know something like this?

I personally use MediaMonkey, but that's FAR too much functionality for her needs. I did try Windows Media Player, but it only ripped to MP3 or WMA and didn't do a very good job with regards to embedding album art.

There must be something better, a 1-click, but I have yet to find it...

I have extensively used AUDIOGRABBER and always found reliable and easy.
[Motorola Atrix HD] shanghei:
I have plans on doing this mod, but was wondering if anyone also has tried and had either success or failure. Wondering if I should waste my time.

As far as I know the mod is done by using the Palm Pixi coil and connecting the VCC from the phone to the positive terminal on the palm pixi and grounding it somewhere on the phone.

I checked the internal of the phone to see an alternate spot for VCC that would make it easy to route the wire from the phone to the pixi coil terminal and I found a small part that would give me just enough space to run a small wire.

I am not a professional so if anyone sees me saying things that arent gonna work, let me know please.

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix HD] shanghei:
As a test, I am going to cut one end off a micro usb cord and plug the other end to phone.

I will solder the +5v and Ground to the pixi terminals and see if that atleast works.
[Motorola Atrix HD] deeje00:
What do you mean wireless charging?

Sent from my Atrix HD MAXX 4.1
[Motorola Atrix HD] popfan:
Far as I know we do not have an induction service on this phone to do wireless charging. It would require a different battery and some extra to get that to work.
[Motorola Atrix HD] shanghei:
I am talking about doing a mod, not something natively.
[Motorola Atrix HD] popfan:
Good luck then. Most likely the average reader will not be able to install something as complex as wireless charging into their phone.
[Motorola Atrix HD] baberswallet:
Hate to break it to you, but it wont work. I attempted the mod and it just wouldnt work and I did it perfectly. I work with integrated circuits, so I know what I am doing. See the photo, I used copper tape to go the two positive and negative prongs on the battery to the Palm Pixi coil.

Too bad, I really wanted it to work.
[Motorola Atrix HD] shanghei:
That is not how you do the mod at all, not sure why you thought it was done that way.
[Motorola Atrix HD] baberswallet:
No, you are wrong, the way I did the mod is the correct way to do it. You connect the positive and negative terminal of the palm pixi to the battery like my picture shows. The reason why it does not work is because the battery doesn't have the wireless charging chip in it like the Galaxy S3.

The wireless modding chip is called "NFC". They do sell some NFC stickers I saw on ebay, by putting one of those stickers on battery it might work but I dont feel like messing with it anymore.

Before you say I did it wrong , remember who you are talking to, I did 100 PS2 mods back in the day.

NFC is not required for wireless charging to work. For the Palm Touchstone charger, all that was replaced on the phone was the battery cover. The Palm did not have NFC.
[Motorola Atrix HD] baberswallet:
I bought the palm pixi phone trying to get this mod to work with the AHD and I remember seeing the NFC
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
No no no.... NFC wasn't in the palm pixi from two years ago.

All the mod is is a little coil that goes on the inside of the battery cover. Our inspire/dhd phones even had the mod and there was most definitely not NFC on board.

That being said is there enough room with the battery in there to do the mod?
[Motorola Atrix HD] ranova:
theres definitely enough room if youre using the stock eb20, maybe not with the eb40
[Motorola Atrix HD] baberswallet:
Even if it doesnt have NFC, you can buy the NFC stickers on ebay to add function.
[Motorola Atrix HD] cajunaggie87:
I had a Palm Pre Plus with the touchstone charger, and it did not have NFC. NFC is not required for this type of wireless charging to work.
[Motorola Atrix HD] shanghei:
Ok guys, I did the mod tonight, and could use some assistance.

I hooked up the positive of the palm pixi coil to a +5 on the Atrix HD board, and when I place the coil on the charger, it does send power to that +5 spot on board but it doesnt actually allow the phone to charge unless the phone detects an actual USB port plugged into phone.

Anyone know some way around this ?
[Motorola Atrix HD] cajunaggie87:
So, if you try and charge with the touchstone, and then plug in a USB cable to the phone (but the other end of the cable is not plugged into anything), then it will charge?
[Motorola Atrix HD] shanghei:
Yes, exactly.
[Motorola Atrix HD] cajunaggie87:
It sounds like the process of plugging in a USB cable creates a short across 2 (or more) pins that tells the phone that a USB cable is plugged in. You test for continuity when the usb cable is plugged in to see what pins are connected to each other, and then create a permanent short across these pins so that the phone thinks that a usb cable is always plugged in. But, this could also cause other problems. So, if you were to do this, I would create a short that is temporary (so that it will stay, but can be removed) and test other functions of the phone (see if data on SD card can be used, see if the phone can be turned off, etc)

I hadn't realized Google stopped selling the Galaxy Nexus, interesting. Depending on the state you live in the Gnex used to cost $360-400 after shipping and tax from the Play Store. You can still find it for $360-375 shipped on Amazon or Google shopping.

* If you want to delete a app by Root-Explorer, don't update it by Playstore first before removing it. (Facebook)

* Some apps can be removed by Settings - Apps etc.:D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] LitoNi:
Well on tx stock, I got the following apps disabled. ;/

my phone is running fine. From start up to everyday use.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
This all depends on what functions you use for the phone. Deleting apps stops their functionality, so you always reduce the functions of the phone when deleting apps. It is persona l preference on which apps you want to delete.

However, there are plenty of apps that are "safe" to delete and still keep your phone working as a phone. The best way I have found of doing this is not by following other peoples list but by using Titanium Backup to "freeze" apps and then test the phone to see if it still works the way I want it. Then I could delete the app. If I ost some functionality I would defrost the app and no harm is done.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] baz@gmx.co.uk:
What Greg says is right, but to add to it:

Apps that you can "disable" will not effect the functionality of the phone, you will just lose the function of the app in question.

Secondly, if you are using titanium back up to freeze system apps, and you are not sure what the app you are freezing does you might stop your system from working, so before you freeze anything you are unsure of, take a full backup first so you can restore it if your system becomes unstable.

Please post your results in this thread for others to learn from.

There is also a system app cleaner in flashtool, although I have not used it with the T yet.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] schaggo:
As for the first part of your post, I'm fully aware of. In fact thats the reason why I'd like to have some of useless stuff removed (numerous FB clients/apps/agents for example) :D But thanks for putting it here as other users might not be aware of the possible issues.

The part in bold is of most interest to me. I'm totally not an Android novice, I know most crucial system packages. Derping around in relatively pure Android releases like AOSP and CM10 and reading the same package names over and over again gives a feel what is Android related and what is vendor specific. For Sammy/Touchwiz I know which package does what, but with Sony I'm new and dont know which files are safe to remove without breaking the system. Hence this thread.

Of course same as above. I do not use TiB though, I use an app called System App Remover. I know TiB very vell of course, but then, who doesn't ;) But again, I'm not interested in getting informations what removing or freezing apk's means in general, I'm interested in which are essential to Sonys UI and will break the system if removed.

I'll have a look at the link provided to the Arc/X10 forums.

Yesterday I found out that disabeling Setup Guide resulted in me losing all APN settings and the phone refused to (automatically) recreate them. They got recreated without any fuzz after enabeling the setup wizard and running it.

Well, it looks like you have an error on line 24 of styles.xml.

That needs to be taken care of, before you do anything else.

It also looks like you need apktool 1.5.0. And you're not doing the process right. If you sign a system apk, it won't work. You have to keep the signature from the original file.

There's a sticky in the Themes section that tells you how to do all this.

Or..you could try Tickle My Android, which has the latest apktool and aapt files and can create files properly for you.

I have a VZW SGT2 (SCH-I705). I've got it rooted and I'm quite happy with it from a hardware perspective. I'm having a problem with OTA update notification however. I get nag notifications daily and with CWM installed, I cannot perform the update unless I go back to stock.

All of the roms I'm seeing are for the various wi-fi/retail models (GT-P3xxx) However, as stated, the VZW device doesn't carry the same model numbers. It is simply the SCH-I705. My question at this point is; can any of these GT-P3xxx roms be used on the VZW device? I would love to put one of the new JB roms (Paranoid) on it, but none appear to apply to this model. If I can't use any of these roms, is there a reliable way to disable OTA updates? Thanks to the community for all the information!

I just got this tab from verizon for the 99$ black friday. First tablet and i am kind of up in the air about it still. Really like it so far but I too would love to run paranoid and the lack of development for this tab is the only thing that has me discouraged. As for the price though who can argue that it was a bad deal. Anyway what method did you use to root?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel644:
99 dollars is a good price till you factor into being forced to there new family share data plan (if you still use a "dumb" phone it might not be so bad) but if you've got a smart phone then your data cap has been slashed to crap and is now shared with a tablet you are forced to pay an additional 10 dollars a month for 2 years MINIMUM, what your paying in "tablet on your data plan" fees is more then the cost of the wifi only version and if you have a smart phone new enough you can wifi tether them together using Foxfi and not have to pay that additional (outrageous) fee for using tethering. I would never consider buying tablet from a cell company.

I've been with verizon since they bought the company we had our service thru like 12 years ago, and I've never had a problem with them or there service but this new ripoff data plan with our current phone setup would cost us 180 dollars a month for a measly 1 GB we have 2 smart phones that each have 4 GB of data and pay less now then what we would under the new plans, hell 3 separate phones from straight talk with unlimited EVERYTHING is only 135, i'm sorry verizon but when it's time to replace these phones we will be parting ways, because I refuse to get rapped like that.
