Thanks again all.

I've ordered a free giff gaff sim and paid for the T-mobile sim. I "think" the quidco deal is no more, but I ordered it via there anyways as it doesnt hurt.

Hopefully this thread will also help anyone else in a similar situation.

Hi all :)

With my N7 3G I'm using a free service (in exchange for watching ads) called Samba.

Very happy with it so far. :)

Wouldn't it be best paying £12 for unlimited internet texts and 250 minutes from giffgaff, and like not use the minutes and texts? Or you could put it in your phone for an emergency? Or use giffgaff as your main provider and tether so there's no extra charge?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashyphotos:
Technically its a breach of GiffGaff rules, iPads/Tablets are excluded from use with the Voice/Data packages, although a lot of people do it, they are supossed to be tightening up and blocking this type of use and unauthorised tethering as well, although only time will tell.

Orange SIM option

Another option for low data users is this Orange SIM with £5 credit for 99p.

It's only 240mb per month but lasts 12 months. I've yet to use the data from it but others have reported success in their Nexus 7. I simply put the SIM in the N7 (in my case, the very first time I switched it on) and shortly after I received a message on it that the SIM was now active. I haven't even had to activate the free £5 credit as yet, though I'm going to of course.

There doesn't appear to be any downside (assuming your data use is low enough) unless anyone knows better. I only intend using the 3G very sparingly when out and about so I hope that it will be enough for me. If not, I try a SIM with a larger allowance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
Go to ovivomobile.com, order a £10 data sim and get 500mb of data per month without ever having to top up. I have been using them for the last 2 months without any problems.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droideka77:
So, genuinely 500mb per month "for life"* for a one-off £10? Not bad if 240mb on Orange isn't enough.

*Where "life" means as long as they decide or as long as the company survives.;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simacca:
It does seem to good to be true, but has been working fine for me. They also do similar with minutes and texts. They use the Vodafone network and you can buy top up packs if you need them.

Edit: I also use one in my back up phone and get 100 mins, 100 texts and 300 mb of data every month just for the price of the sim card.

Anybody know how long it takes to activate the 12 months free web on T Mobile after sending the text to 441?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetCon:
I think you have to phone them up. I did that and they said it would 24 hours before the free web is added to the number. However, I think you may have to leave the SIM in the iPhone. My mistake was I borrowed my sisters iPhone and pulled the SIM out for obvious reasons. So I assumed it would have been added on after 24 hours so I put it straight in to my NEXUS, Big mistake, I didn't get the free web.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rackers:
Yep, I phoned them up. You need to give them the IMEI number of an iPhone (luckily I had one spare) leave it in the phone until they activate the data and once you get the text confirming pop it into the Nexus.

Not sure how long it'll last though as T Mobile in the US have been blocking IMEI no's of Nexus 7s using non data packages.

Nexus 7

Hello Guys,

I will receive my new Nexus7 today from US.

I have some points that I can clarify:

1). Yes it is a 3G device but does not support voice call only data is supported.

2). All Indian 3G sim cards will work (micro sims).

3). Though, sms can be used using sms apps like GOSMS Pro.

4). The device has a voice calling chip enabled but it is locked on the radio level and till now developers have not devised a way to unlock it or get it to work, you all can find lots of discussion on this on different user threads here on XDA.

I tried the following

1. setting up APN manually. but n7 doesn't save the APN settings that I enter:(

2. choosing cellone network manually in the mobile networks section. but it says cannot connect to this network, try again later.

After you enter APN settings, before going back you must click 3dot menu and click on save for it to save settings. Then go back and select that APN.

I've had quite a few apps that would never convert to system apps. I've found these all to have lib files.

To convert them do the following:

1. Determine lib file location using link2sd.

2. Navigate there in Root Explorer.

3. Move lib files to system/lib

4. Convert to system app using link2sd.

5. Reboot.

Hope this helps somebody out.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] mitchst2:

If you get an update to an app, check the update in Link2sd for new lib files.

Hi,

on my last tablet (3G)

I has an very useful app, but since I sold it, I forgot the name of this app.

It was like:

You are making groups of contacts (Home, Work etc.) and adding gps location of these groups.

When you are at home, the Work group is just vibrating, without any noise.

If you are at work ( and gps located you) your Home contacts are not allowed (if you choose this )

I hope it is understandable.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The same way you got your first one, I believe. I'm fairly sure you'll have to reload all your sideloaded apps too.

That being said, I don't think there's been any official word on this, and since it hasn't been out for a month I don't think anyone knows for sure.

There is some stuff online about Microsoft revoking your dev license if you abuse it. Not sure what constitutes abuse, though.
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
The terms of service explicitly notes that using it to pirate apps is grounds for revocation, but that was the only thing I saw that definitely constituted abuse. They may have other qualifiers too. It also says that they can (and do) send info on whatever you sign to Microsoft, which I'm not sure if I like or not. I can see why they're doing it, but it still feels wrong to have them looking at what you're doing in such a manner.

Is it really that difficult for people to understand the basics? Also, learn to search.

Read the rules of XDA. First Rule;-

I pointed out to you that you posted in the wrong place - Dev forum is for DEVELOPMENT work, not for people to ask questions.

I also pointed out that you should search first. Believe me, your exact question has been answered before - you are not the first person to ask this.

There is no point simply telling you the answers because then you won't understand what, why or where and if something goes wrong you will be lost. Much better to read, learn and understand exactly what you are doing and why.
[HTC Desire S] remusator:
Actually, simonTS is right.

Don't expect help, when you are incompliant to read forum rules.

This section is dedicated to custom roms etc.

Check other forums sections. There is plenty of stuff about downgradeing.

Dear Guys,

I have bought a Xperia Mini Pro two weeks ago & yesterday I have unlocked the bl and flashed the KernelPanic 1.25, everything was fine, then I installed an LED Fix with CWM, but it end up in a bootloop. I tried to fullwipe it, to flash the kernel again with flashtool etc

Finally, I relocked the bl & flashed the .587 firmware with the PC-Companion. After that at starting the phone only the LED blinks three times, but I still can go into fastboot mode & flash mode.

I've tried everything but nothing worked & or I'm just too stupid for it.

Do you have any idea how to bring it back to life ?

P.S.: Sry for my bad English, I'm from Germany.

I only have found the stock fw but not the stock .587 kernel, could anyone post a link here ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
The kernel.sin is included in the ftf. After you flashed the fix you needn't relock bootloader, just flash the rom again. I recommend to do a nandroid backup in cwm before flashing anything, just for sure. Try to flash the stock ftf again.

If this doesn't work and you can enter fastboot mode, unlock the bootloader again, flash a custom kernel, boot in cwm and mount usb storage, push a zip of any rom, install the rom, reboot (the kernel must be the right one for the rom of course) and you should be done :good:

EDIt: You can PM me if you want, and we can talk in German ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ManthanRB:
Have you check your battery?

If the LED blinks in RED color for three times, that means battery is empty:o

Hey guys,

About two years ago when the Droid X came out, I came out with a one click root app for it that was pretty popular. Since I have the Galaxy S3 now and wanted to root me phone, I decided to make it ridiculously easy for people.

I simply packaged it up into a Qt app. I will be releasing it on Linux tomorrow and if I can somehow get a Mac (or someone has one) that wants to compile the Qt app for Mac, we can have it working on all 3 main operating systems.

Here's the download: http://www.mediafire.com/?g4mfv432lzk2pj0

all current root methods that work for ics will no longer work for jellybean. so when the jb ota drops this will be kind of null and void. not saying you couldnt odin back to a ics build then root and upgrade back to jellybeans, but thats alot of extra steps. the best method imo is to odin mr.robinson's pre rooted stock j1 update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sil3ntki11:
Yeah, I know that. But within a few days a new method will be up and I will update it! If someone finds it useful, then great! When the 4.1 root method (non-odin) is out, then I will put that up!

But yeah, most people after updating won't need this :(

I'm having problems compiling on my laptop.

I keep getting the error that my version of OS X isn't supported. I'm on 10.7.4, should I be on 10.6 or something?

Anyway, I have an app built, but the bundle doesn't look right. It doesn't contain any of the root tools, and the main executable is way too small.

I don't want to post it here, cause I doubt its functional.

It looks nice though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sil3ntki11:
Hey! Thanks for trying! So I used Qt version 4.8.3, the open source SDK. You need three libraries to run the app, QtCore4, QtGui4, and QtWebKit4. They have to be in the same folder as the executable if Qt isn't in your Path. The root tools are in there, "debugfs", "debugfsinput" and "su" and "Superuser.apk". I didn't include the Mac adb tool, as I couldn't get it. That should be named adbmac and be put in the tools/ folder of where the executable lies.

I have changed the source to make this customizable for anyone's root methods, if you look here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2000988

Here is cleaner source attached, basically the same. So, in order to get this work:

Build the code

Find the folder it was built into (please use release, not debug)

In that folder, find the executable. This is the main folder

Copy the /root, /tools, /html, /device folders that are in the zip into the main directory where the executable is.

Copy your OSX's adb into /tools and rename it adbmac

Make sure Qt is in the PATH variable, if not you need

QtCore4, QtGui4, and QtWebKit4 in the same folder as the executable

For others to use it, they need those libraries in there, or else they will need to have Qt installed

You can statically link the libraries if you so desire but I didn't want to deal with that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alquimista:
Ah, that's my problem. I'm still on Qt 4.7 cause the QtADB tool requires the 4.7 libraries. I can update to 4.8 , but it will take a while cause Macs are dumber than Linux.

Question, can't we roll the libraries into the app itself? I know Avid MediaComposer 6 and up have Qt pretty much rolled into the app to run all of the GUI, they even use some python to run some of the GUI for them (its crap for code but its better than FCP X). I'll look into it while I'm waiting for Qt 4.8 to download and install.

I'll keep you updated.

Ta,

tplawi then

Hey! Thanks for the effort. So I actually got a VMWare image of Mac OSX Lion going on my machine and got it to compile. What you are referring to is called static linking and can definitely be done, I just have to compile from source with the -static argument. I'm trying to decide if I should not use WebKit for my GUI as that is the only library that is quite large. I'm going to compile it statically and see how big it is. I might put this up on a private GitHub repo if you want to help work on it.

My idea is that this can be used by anyone to make other root packages. If you noticed in the other thread I sent you, I basically have a very simple custom batch language for them to create for the root method and the rest is taken care by the program. This way it won't discourage people and we can have a one click root truly. Let me know if you want to help me improve it!

Hey everyone.

A few months ago I dropped my phone for the first time. It turned out that the screen had gotten a large crack down through the middle, running all the way from the top to the bottom. I tried using it, and the touch capabilities didn't seem to be affected, so basically it was just cosmetic at first.

But this afternoon, after having used it lightly since morning without issues, the phone suddenly started responding weird to touch. Whenever I touch the screen, it registers touches all over the screen, and I'm not even able to dial in my pin code after rebooting.

Does anyone have an idea what might have happened, what is broken, and how much it will set me back to fix it?

BTW, the phone arrived with a red pixel, I noticed it once when booting up, but thought it was just a bug or something. Later I found out that is actually a fault with the phone, and most companies have dead pixel policies, I'm wondering, is it possible to return the phone for a new because of the red pixel?

Thank you for your time.
