I'll loose root

sent from my Beniamin Xperia Sola MT27i limited dark black ed.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] halman:
Hi,

I don't know how to make the flashable zip but I have uploaded the files you want inside a compressed file. DONT FLASH IT, instead since you are root you can copy-paste the files to their appropriate folders and check/alter the permissions to rw-r--r--. Then make a restart and wipe dalvik cashe just in case (although it might work without the wiping - not sure).

Hope it works for you:)

PS: the "com.sonyericsson.audioeffectif.xml" is inside the /system/etc/permissions folder.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
If u can root once.... U can root once more :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] beniamin24:
It worked

I'll give it a go, and report back, thankyou

Later edit: it worked >:D< thx a lott >:D<
[Nokia Lumia 920] pencilcase:
Is anyone else noticing or getting dust-spots in the front-facing camera? seems it's not quite closed up entirely and some is getting in ...
[Nokia Lumia 920] emckai:
All Lumia 920 are having this issue.

Test units at AT&T, mine and my friends.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Poecifer:
You can't rightly say that all 920's have it. I have 2 and have 0 issues with either aside from missing xbl games. On a side note though, I have seen it occur on two of the glossy ones. (I have a cyan and a black) I don't think glossy is quite as well put together. I squeezed the screen on a yellow and it distinctly popped into place.
[Nokia Lumia 920] TitusO:
Well, you can, because this issue is caused by a design fault. It's just a matter of time, until this will reach you too.

All devices I know have this issue und I already wrote a mail to the nokia technical service.

Cheers, Titus
[Nokia Lumia 920] n7slc:
I've had mine for two weeks now and it got dust inside yesterday.
[Nokia Lumia 920] cfhuk:
Mine too. Annoyed.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ryan09266:
My first one had a lot of dust in front of the sensor in about a weeks time, started noticing it the third day. Had to return it for an earpiece issue, had the second one for a little over a week now and not a speck under there. Perhaps someday but not near as quick as the first.
[Nokia Lumia 920] driftnut56:
Me too. My issue wasn't ear piece though.
[Nokia Lumia 920] idloco:
Anybody knows how to remove this dust?

It's getting annoying mostly because the proximity sensor is getting affected too.. and at night it just stop working correctly...
[Nokia Lumia 920] F[3]AR:
Nokia care is your best bet mate.. :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] Kuturgan:
my solution of the dust-gate

So if we are able to identify the reason of the problem then we can do find the solution. :D

We know that the dust comes from 3.5 jack socket. Then just put the 3.5 jack stopper into the jack socket and that's it. No any dust in you phone! :laugh:

You can find it on ebay.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Xeon:
Have 4 units and none have this issue.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Kuturgan:
Anti-dust fix

YES! IT WORKS! Today I tested the rubber stopper on my Lumia 920. Rubber stopper works fine and it doesn't silence the earpiece, BUT first of all, you should cut off two-thirds of the stopper (be careful not to loose the piece when you cut it off because it is so small) and plug-in only the hat + about 5mm of the base with the ring on it. If you cut off the ring the stopper wont be properly hold in the socket. Hope you can see it on the image. Hat+base+ring
[Nokia Lumia 920] mmian:
This happened to my red glossy Lumia 920 on ATT, but ATT replaced it under warranty. I got a black matte one, so we'll see if it has the same problem. But you guys should all get it replaced under warranty. At least that will help Nokia realize this is a widespread issue
[Nokia Lumia 920] voluptuary:
I have a Black ATT Lumia 920 and I had to send mine into Nokia Care US to get it fixed under warranty. My wife also has a glossy white one and I got a dust stopper in hers (had to cut it short because it would trip the headphone sensor otherwise) and hers is still great.
[Nokia Lumia 920] mmian:
so where is the dust getting in from? The headphone jack or the earpiece?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Xeon:
There is a very little gap between the screen and the frame above the Nokia logo.

Blowing air inside the device will only make things worse.
[Nokia Lumia 920] TitusO:
Dear fellows,

I've got dust twice. I bought my phone in 11-2012 and sent it in in 03-2013. I got a brand new one four days later and have now dust again within two weeks of use.

Nokia seems to be still struggling with this issue.

See an artikle in german language: http://www.windows-smartphones.de/22909/staub-bei-der-frontkamera-eures-lumia-920-annaherungssensor-defekt-hier-ist-der-grund/
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Ottorbox Defender and all your dust worries are over.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Bjd223:
The prox sensor is sealed seperatly from the FFC which is in a U shaped cut-out, with the opening at the top which lets the dust in. The 1308 firmware update fixed similar issues for me.

I specifically had issues with the prox sensor re-activating the screen. It would always work to turn the screen off during a call, but hardly work when trying to switch to speaker phone, etc during a call. I could never hang up on anyone I had to wait for them to end the call. Sometimes hitting the power button a few times would bring the screen on. After the latest update it seems to be working much better for me, and I have seen a few others say the same thing.

If you have not already you can use navifirm to update (but it will wipe your phone) if your FW is available, or wait for an OTA update which will not wipe your phone. If you are not on ATT in the US it might take a little before you get the update OTA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] intelli78:
Hey everybody :D

One of the most useful mods I have performed on my Note 2 is a PPI adjustment, which effectively increases the resolution of the screen. I'm not sure why this isn't more commonly discussed, because I think it really takes advantage of the phone's size and tablet-like qualities (especially with the new MultiView update, if that appeals to you). I know many users of the original Note did this mod, which is how I found out about it. I suspect that many other Note 2 users may not be aware of this trick...

WHAT IT DOES

It has the same effect as increasing one's monitor resolution - more content is able to be displayed on screen. If all the icons, text, menus, etc on your Note 2 just seem really BIG to you, this is the antidote.

Look at the two before and after screenshots attached. I would have posted them in line, but as a new user I am prohibited from doing so. :cowboy:

REQUIREMENTS

ROOTED Note 2 - there are other Howto's on XDA that cover this

ROM Toolbox Pro (other apps may work too, possibly including the free version of ROM Toolbox, but this is what I used)

HOW TO DO IT

Root your phone and install ROM Toolbox Pro. Go to the performance tab, and click "build.prop" editor. There will be two entries called "ro.sf.lcd_density"

Within each one, change the property value and the default value to 240. That's four numbers you're replacing. On the last change, go ahead and reboot. Done!

OTHER NOTES

With the original Note, it was common for this mod to break the Market. This is no longer the case. But, there are a few things that break to varying degrees. They're easy to fix though...

TouchWiz: The default launcher will not adapt to the new settings, and you will have a lot of blank space. Fix by installing another launcher. I use Nova.

The Clock app breaks completely. I replaced with Alarm Clock Plus.

The dialer, like TouchWiz, will remain small. You could replace with a custom dialer, but I actually left it as-is because a side effect is that it's really easy to use with one hand.

The Camera app has the same problem. Camera Zoom FX makes a good replacement.

the Samsung keyboard breaks, thus taking down handwriting input with it. Swype works fine, as does s-note.

Aside from those minor issues, everything has worked fine, including all the 3rd party apps I have.

Hope this is helpful to some of you guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ricekrispytreats:
Seriously, this phone is amazing at 240
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamice4u:
I have been using this since I first got my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mhoepfin:
This is great. One other app is the email app only takes half the screen on portrait. Really need to figure out how to install the AOSP JB Email app on here....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mhoepfin:
Another benefit is Swiftkey Tablet keyboard now does the split keyboard on landscape which is easier to type on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkPhoenix:
The only problem is that you can't use the handwriting mode with the stylus with the ppi set to 240 because the Samsung keyboard keeps fc'ing. That's my only complaint so far with this phone is that the handwriting mode is tied to the Samsung keyboard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrush:
I had problems with apps saying they weren't compatible with my device... cleared data in the market app... still no dice. Any insight?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkPhoenix:
I'm not real fond of the way the dialer looks so I'm using Go Contacts which has a pretty good dialer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mhoepfin:
The market is probably filtering since at this resolution it is probably now considered an x-large device.

Really like this resolution, will need to use for a while to see which apps decide to crap out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skyjedi:
you can also edit the build.prop with root explorer. If you edit the it to be =160 it switched to tablet mode, but crashes a lot

=170 i think its still tablet and doesn't crash
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] intelli78:
This is true. I forgot to mention and will update the original post. Hopefully devs will fix at some point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrush:
To be honest, with jelly bean letting us choose "tiny" text now and the screen size being so big, I'm not as inclined to change the Res on this thing anymore... in the past with my S2 that was the first thing i would do whenever I flashed a new rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dioscorus:
installed, set to 170, put on nova launcher, and downloaded a jellybean keyboard. so far so good, but how do I get the "hold home to bring up all running apps back" feature? It looks like Nova doesn't support this...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] intelli78:
Hmm, which rom are you using? I have stock rooted with nova and this feature still works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dioscorus:
I also have stock/rooted...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] vwgti18:
Fixed the dialer problem for me just got exdialer it work great and looks good too!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] weehooherod2:
Technically the Galaxy Note II does have a higher screen res than the Galaxy S III since the Note 2 does not have a pentile display. Paranoid Android in the future will also let you completely customize the size of everything on your phone without messing up the market due to DPI issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigE-evo:
Do you think PA will come to this phone? If so, it will be a great addition and will fit this device perfectly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] onebelo:
anyone with issues sending MMS? I had taken a pic and tried to send MMS but got a unsupported file type or something like that and wont attach the picture. reverting back to 320dpi works.

hopefully the samsung keyboard will work with this in the future, it looks sooo much better with the dpi change .. specially with multi-view (although the menu and border of it doesnt stretch all the way across the screen).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
bala gamer is hopefully going to take a shot at FIXING the bits that don't work right at 240dpi !! I especially hope he can fix the keyboard as I LOVE the keyboard.

for the multi window just drag the menu to the TOP OR BOTTOM edge and it displays correctly at 240dpi (the separator is not wide enough but thats not an issue)

Zoom FX is no good since it uses "smaller" images (really small) in burst mode NOT 8mp. I found that out the hard way after I shot some really nice shots and later discovered the res was so small it was useless to me :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
WOW Exdialer is simply gorgeous (bought the STEEL theme GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS)

I love it. best $5.50 I have spent this week.

I am not even worried about getting the stock dialer fixed now I LOVE this new dialer and contacts. wish I could double the picture size (just in contacts) and create TWO columns :) plenty of space for it :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cruecu:
Probably a stupid question, but does this affect the dpi or resolution when playing videos. Would a 720p rip look better after this change? If not, I can't see how this changes much unless you need more space on your home screens. Setting font to "tiny" has same effect to a certain extent, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iceman19631:
To me and my eyes, videos show even better. As if they were in fact blueray played on a hdtv. As far as sizing...there's no difference. This phone really is better at 240dpi/ppi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] madsquabbles:
increasing the dpi not only changes font size but the every element in apps. it allows you to use the space more efficiently.

---------- Post added at 07:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 AM ----------

no changes since you're not physically changing the resolution of your screen. you will be changing the size of the UI however.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] iceman19631:
Ok...after using the phone for a few days, I've found that rom toolbox breaks a couple of my apps. Clock is broken and so is one of my favorite games Kalahari Sun. Even the I'm loving the hi-res, I will have to revert back to 320ppi.

Edited: Thought I'd try another setting and found that 280ppi works with no ill affect.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
romtoolbox is not breaking it your "PROGRAMS" are breaking because they are not "scaling" to the DPI right. as you discovered sometimes you can find a sweetspot dpi that makes all happy.

bala_gamer is making mods for the stock apps to make them work at 240dpi properly. your individual programs you would have to see the vendor for that program.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mhoepfin:
Agree that 280ppi seems to be a much better middle ground for me than 240....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Masterface7:
I love the samsung keyboard and i can't figure out why people don't like it. It can do swipe input, the voice button uses the stock voice dictation, it remembers words i use and suggests them back to me, AND it has a dedicated number line.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
oh I love the samsung keyboard I love it a lot but I like 240 DPI more so hopefully bala gamer will get around to fixing the stock keyboard
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] intelli78:
nerys you already know, but for others, most of the stock apps are now working in 240. Keyboard is among them. Check here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2001143&page=7
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] weehooherod2:
240 is looking great on my phone! Haha my favorite side effect of changing the DPI is how the status bar toggles no longer move when pulled down. I only used the first 5 toggles anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revjonnyflash:
Amazing!

Best tweak yet! Can't wait for the native rom :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] llckll:
Definitely subscribing as this resolution is how it should have been!

Some things still don't work but hopefully it'll be fixed.

issue when editing with a text editor

Hi, thanks for the amaizing tip I've always wanted to make use of all this big screen :)

However, I just wanted to point out to those who might decide to edit build.prop with a text editor that supports root (an issue happened to me when I did so just posting for future reference for anyone who happens to be in the same situation :) )..

I used 920 Text Editor and updated build.prob (it supports root mode) however, for some reason it changed the file permission from 644 to 664 ... this has led my phone to keep replaying the video of "Samsung Logo" after I restarted it. I connected my phone and entered it with ADB shell

adb shell

then I gained root and had to remount the /system as read write partition and finally updated the file permission to 644 again, restarted the phone and tada :) ... I'd strongly recommend doing the edit with rom ToolBox rather doing it with a text editor like I did :D

su
mount -ro remount,rw /system
chmod 644 /system/build.prop
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Quis89:
Anyone use Hulu? Not sure if this tweak is the reason it no longer works or if it's something else.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankind_18:
I thought that all of my videos can be played perfectly on Note 2, but it wasn't the case, I think :rolleyes:

What makes it weird is the video that can't be played are .avi files.. It's my first time encounter the problem with .avi files (it always with .mkv though :silly: but surprisingly all .mkv files works perfectly, even the 8GB ones :p)

It will only play the audio files and the video are completely blank.. I've tried with stock video player & MX Player (please don't suggest to use another video player :D) but they'll only show the thumbnail (in stock the thumbnail won't move as the other vids;static)

I've attached the media info of the .avi that won't play.. Should I convert that into .mkv, maybe? :confused:

Just in case, not all of my .avi files can't be played.. Just this one :p
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darshan9:
If you don't want to use a different media player, then I think converting it or re-downloading (if possible) could work. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankind_18:
Well, I'm quuite thinking to convert the video, because I'm note sure re-downloading will solve the problem (since the video didn't have a problem playing in my pc using klite media player :p)

I'm just curious, is there something wrong in the mediainfo I've attached that makes Note 2 can't play the video..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emprize:
have u try force software decode in mx player? have u try play it on pc?

if u can handle the conversion, convert always is the best method for me
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankind_18:
have u try force software decode in mx player? --> no, I haven't.. I wonder if it will work since the stock can't play it too :silly:

have u try play it on pc? --> yes, and it didn't have any problem.. :)

if u can handle the conversion, convert always is the best method for me --> can you suggest me about the conversion? :o
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emprize:
maybe u can try force software decode first, sometimes the hw dont have the correct codec for that,

i stream movie from my home pc instead of put it in phone long time ago, so forgot the convert software, sorry

Hi,

Is it possible to root or do something to the Samsung S8003 Jet to make is run Android or is anyone making a custom ROM for it.

Please give the names of ROM's which this phone might be able to run.

Thanks :D

Yes you can!

CyanogenMod 7.1 & MIUI ROM.

Search in Google: "android for jet"

(I can't post direct links thanks to XDA < 10 posts limit)

Your first hit should be from code dot google dot com, that's the one you're looking for.

It has plenty of videos explaining what it does and how to flash it.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] itspb:
So where do I get an insurance for my coming Nexus 4. I;m kinda skeptical about the strength of the phone and need a backup is something happens.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] LaviLoki:
Only from Shop

If you bought it from a third-party store, you'll have warranty from the shop.

If bought online, no insurance. Just buy a case, and don't damage it, it really isn't that hard if you take care of it and not throw it everywhere.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] laptopfreek0:
SquareTrade but you will end up paying for the device in about 2 years. If you feel you might break it in that time go right ahead. (Note fine print has a $99 deductible.)

Honestly I will just do my best not to break it, and if I do, just buy a new one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Spitfire:
Yeah problem with squaretrade is that with the upfront fee plus deductible, you're almost at the price of a new phone. This probably goes for any insurance on this phone since it's relatively inexpensive.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] marsdta:
Would like to add that square trade will have a 40% off sale for black Friday. See their Facebook page to sign up. Makes it a more reasonable price. Now if only in can get a hold of a nexus 4 lol
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hbkmog:
If you buy from Google, you don't need a insurance. Just be careful of accidental damage which can be prevented if you pay attention.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CoCoGirl886:
Ohh thanks for the info. The website states $7/mo or $125 for 2 years. The only difference between the two is paying up front or monthly right (aside from the discount)? Or are you able to cancel at any time, say after a year? I'm contemplating on whether it's a good deal since there is a $100 deductible (wil there be tax added on?) and the value of the phone will go down overtime as well. But with the 40% black fri deal, I would probably get it :).

Also... this only covers damage and not lost/stolen phones like Tmobile insurance right..? :confused:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] marsdta:
Well I know for the lump sum one that if you cancel you get a prorated refund. I haven't found anything saying that you can't cancel the monthly plan but I would contact them to be sure.

The deductible shouldn't have any tax added. And yes it does not cover lost/stolen phones.

Usually I'm very careful with my phones but have dropped them from time to time. I did own an iPhone 4 for only 6 months though so still not sure about the longetivity of an all glass phone.hence contemplating square trade. But with the 40% off I would be looking at 175 if I do file a claim.

Another option I saw a fellow xda recommend is going threw werth Ave group. Its an actual insurance company(think auto,home,etc) they have a 50 deduct and covers theft. But know nothing about them
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sparta507:
Would these insurance policies cover if the micro USB charging port on the phone gets messed up? it happen on my sprint OG Evo4G, the USB got completely separated from the board itself... (I have no clue how that could happen) and i had to go through my insurance to get it taken care of, (and shell out $100 for a replacement)

But how about if by accident the phone get bricked or something software related? Or if they battery doesn't charge good anymore and it needs to be replace?
