Can someone explain me what is this?Isn't whatsapp supposed to be free???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2am:
hmmm, maybe a troll post but I'll bite...I don't use the app, but I'm pretty sure that it's free for the first year and after that its $.99..

from the app description

"WhatsApp Messenger is a smartphone messenger available for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Phone and Nokia phones. WhatsApp uses your 3G or WiFi (when available) to message with friends and family. Switch from SMS to WhatsApp to send and receive messages, pictures, audio notes, and video messages. First year FREE! ($0.99/year after)"
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrux.chirag:
Yep i agree. I am a whatsapp user and it gives service for one year only. After that it charges some fee for you to use it. That fee is this. So all you can do is pay the fee or buy a new sim. Hope i helped :) .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0057:
This. And 99 cents per year for the best messaging app available is ridiculously cheap.

I really don't get the whole fuzz about What's App... if you have 3G or Wifi... you can connect to all your friends via GTalk, Skype, etc, etc.... If you don't... then you cannot use it either...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeyn Karim:
Because those actually use more data than whatsapp, not to mention whatsapp is always on and less resource heavy than most apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Whatsapp is tied to your mobile number, so you don't need to re-add your friends one by one again, and get their emails/Skype IDs (sure, you can search for them using Skype, but it's not always accurate and everything being automated is easier).

Plus what the above poster said.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hemantshah3:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bunnybugs_007:
Found a news thread that said that Whatsapp is going to be paid. They extended it for free because there was no general method to pay the small fee. Seems like they have found it... Paid mine, just to make sure...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lemonek:
I Didnt found anywhere ansewr to this question and i'm not sure if its obvious or none asked it...

Question same as in title:

How to flash flashable zip to Android installed using NativeSD - for example gapps - when i flash zip using 4EXTRecovery its flashed to NAND - how to puch it to System on 3/4Ext partition on SD Card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lemonek:
Let me answer to this quiestion by myself - i have two remarks....

1st remark. Answer to his question is - If you are using NativeSD method - you will need to use "profiled" zips - so in short - there will (most probably) not be any one common updatezip for all roms (if menu for Aroma installer cannot be created dynamiclly) becuase:

When you are installing NativeSD rom in one of installer files you will find such lines:

1.	mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /ext4p

2.	mkdir -p /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/system /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/data

3.	mount --bind /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/system /system

Which means:

1. Mount ext3/4 partition to dir called /ext4p

2. Create dirs: /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/system /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/data and do not throw error if they already exists

3. Bind /ext4p/$ROM_NAME/system to /system

As you see last two commands contains parameter $ROM_NAME defined before like this:

ROM_NAME=PAC

export ROM_NAME

Conclusions:

0. Every rom puts its files to a different locations:

1. If you have only one NativeSD this would be quite easy to create common packages (update zips) for all NativeSD roms ( pick first dir on ext and install there everything)

2. If you have more than one NativeSD it might be (and might not - i really dont have idea and time to check Aroma possibilities) possible to create dynamic menu in Aroma which will be based on your installed NativeSD roms - and you will be selecting which one you wish to update/flash

3. Typical update zips for sure will be aplied to NANDs

2nd remark I'm more that suppriesed with low knowledge / skills of people reading this "Q&A and General" - i was hoping to find more helpful asnwers ;) - no offence
[General Questions and Answers] Roan_Smeets:
I got a problem I am stuck in a boot loop with my Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus (GT-S7500). I updated my software because a message popped up with: 'There are software updates for your phone' So I as a new rooter updated it and now when I try to boot my phone it goes to the ClockWorkMod and I searched on the forum and I tried a lot of stuff and it didn't work. (I rooted with Odin, thought this could be useful)
[General Questions and Answers] electrux.chirag:
I think when you updated your phone you or the software bricked it. Hence it is having a bootloop. If you can, i would recommend you to get a latest -STOCK firmware for your device and flash it with Odin.

P.S. Use Stock rom and Odin ONLY(atleast for now) because if you use another method or non-stock rom/custom rom, it might brick your phone even badly.

Hope i helped :)

It’s been great to see the shipping of the nexus to people in limbo but for us on Back Order this is nothing short of torture giving us little real information on our position, I know a couple have had their sipped but they were very much a one off

So, how is that whenever I flash a new ROM, my MEID always ends up being 0s!?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tim5133:
Does this happen on all ROMs on your phone or only on certain ones? The few I've tried does not but reading the forums, some others do. (Just fyi, my MEID got reset once because I clicked "Check for updates" by accident. It was a bugger to fix back, guh.)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
Haha. Well, it only happens on the ones that show it others show IMEISV and that's 0, but I'm pretty sure that's not the same thing. How did you end up fixing your MEID before?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JimiGEE:
I have searched through XDA, and google...I get issues similar to mine, but for other devices it seems. I have issues with the proximity sensor. When I am on a call, intermittently the proximity sensor will fail on me. More times than not, when I pull the phone away from my face...it delays really bad before the screen comes back, and sometimes the screen wont come back at all. I either have to wait a few minutes after the other person hangs up or if I get someone's voicemail for example, and I dont want to leave a message...I have to pull my battery so I can hang up. The proximity sensor does turn red, and at times will stay red after the call is complete. I tried downloading DHD Proximity Sensor Recalibrator - I found online, but when I go to use it...it tells me that my Kernel is not supported and to my knowledge I havent changed kernels. I was on bone stock GB before I even rooted...then I rooted the stock firmware...flashed a JellyBean rom (AOKP JellyBean 4.1.2) and everything is perfect except the PS - I did a restore of stock firmware before I flashed and when I restore and go back to stock, I still have the issue. There is no screen protector, case, debris etc blocking the PS. I cant figure it out. It may be faulty, but was hoping to find out if anyone had a fix or soultion. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
You can just hit the power button to bring the screen back on.and to restart the phone you don't need to pull the battery just hold power till it reboots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JimiGEE:
Unfortunately, thats not my issue. Like I was saying, my screen wont turn back on at all. Yes, I have hit the power button the get the screen back on and at times it will work, but more times than not...it doesnt. The only reason why i pull the battery is because its quicker than holding the power button. My issue is just the proximity sensor not working like it should. One i am more than 5cm, screen should come back and it doesnt
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudaltsov:
I am trying to restore the original state with 4.1.1 firmware. Downloaded I9300XXDLJ4_I9300OXADLJ4_I9300XXDLID_BTU.zip, unpacked, the installation goes without problems (Odin 3.07, Auto Reboot + F.Reset Time). And then... I am getting the unrooted phone with the same settings and apps I had before. How is that possible? Some of those apps need update (looks like some old version is "recovered"). I suspect that might have happened because some while ago I used Titanium Backup to create update.zip and "flashed" that update.zip using bootloader. But how can I make the phone "forget" about that? How can I get the "clean" factory-state phone, without those apps/settings? And, what is also annoying, straight after Odin3, the Device State is Modified (without even rooting it!). What can I do about it?

Any ideas are welcome. Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exynoss:
Because when u going to flash your firmware through Odin before that u have to do a wipe data factory reset from cwm / stock recovery.

In your case u just flashed new firmware over your old one without any wipe.

maybe I did sthg wrong, how do I install the content of this file X8_ADB_drivers.zip?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BeatnikBandit:
IDK if this is ever an issue for new users but When I search I never find the exact thing I wish to know but much close to it.

In all My 16GB phone as of yesterday with no media or installed apps my phone had only 1 GB free and the filesystem was full of folders from old apps. I had installed and uninstalled many apps and flashed many roms, Which I believe left many leftover files. So I was told to format the System Partition and either restore or install a new rom. Since my latest nandroid was ICS based I decided to start fresh (also to clear up as much space I could.

My question now is, I still have many extra files from uninstalled apps. My phone now has 6.8GB of the available 11.8GB according to Windows 7.

So to completely START CLEAN what is the best method? (I will have a nandorid backup and a rom to install both on my pc and on my External SD Card)

Using CWMR,

Format System, Then Format SdCard? Then the Steps Required to install The Specific ROM you will now install.

Is the SdCard partition the usable space? If it is then the System Partition Contains all System Files and leftovers from flashing Roms and Kernels? If that is correct then Is the SdCard Partition basically the Users Space for apps and Media and what Shows up on the PC and The user Directory once Rooted?

Is this The Best way to do it? I have Seen Superwipe although have not found a page specifically about it. I have found versions of the script for many devices. Since their seems to be one available for the Samsung GS3 should i just flash that (I see it on the page for installation of the Xquizit Rom) and on an older post for another device said that it would "wipe /boot /data /system /cache and /devlog" then it says your phone is ready to install the rom (on the page i forget the rom or device it was for).

So to Clean my phone to the point that it is as close to possible as being new and this is the first rom to be installed and the first apps to be installed, when i install apps.

To accomplish this Should I? Use CWMR and manually format the system and the sd card partitions? or use the Superwipe script from the Xquizit Rom page?

Lastly but Most Importantly to use Superwipe do I simply just flash the zip? Also if i do it manually Have i described the correct way to do it?:confused:

Last of all Thank you and Sorry Its I just have never done this and as i still haven't even paid off my phone I don't want to Brick this phone at ALL.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BeatnikBandit:
Since this post has no reply's but some views that means i either asked a question that either A. has been asked and answered and i have not found it. or B. This is something that is so easy its never really been an issue.

If its A. Could someone be kind and just link to a post, or post the correct search term as I have been unable to find it.

If its B. Then to close this will I have a problem formatting the SD-card the same way I formatted the system partition

Also is their a Superwipe how to? and does it do what i think it does (basically format your hole phone in one easy step by running a script via your recovery mod?

I just don't want to brick this phone when it comes to formatting it just scares me for the first time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcbofkc:
Use the Odin software for a clean install. It wipes partitions, radio's everything. You can choose to intall a rooted Tmo update with Odin so that way you are ready to go. Just flash CWM with Rom manager after using Odin and you are ready to flash any rom you want.

I just go my n10 today and really like it. Just ran a dead pixel finding app as my n7 had loads. I got 1. Its there in bottom right corner, a black dot that keeps staring at me now.

Is this considered "acceptable" or would you get it replaced?

So far everything else is fine, I could end up with

A: A worse one

B: The same again with dead pixel(s)

C: A 'perfect' one

That assuming Google don't have a minimum acceptable dp level

Any thoughts?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitemare3219:
Depends on how visible it is to you. If it were me, I'd be exchanging it. Displays with dead pixels aren't all that common, at least in my experience. I've got a 2560x1440 monitor and it has no dead pixels. My older monitor which is 1920x1080 had one black pixel dead center, and I asked my friends what I should do. They instantly said replace, and I'm glad I did. Got a perfect monitor back from Newegg and I probably would've regretted keeping it. Once you notice the defect, you're always going to notice it.

I see so many posts from people who go to all kinds of trouble to find things wrong with their devices so they can return them.

If you keep looking for things that are wrong, you are going to keep finding them and never be happy. I received my Nexus 10 yesterday. I haven't run any tests on it, didn't check for light bleed, didn't check for dead pixels, etc. I just used the tablet.

And you know what? It's awesome and I love it. If you had never checked for the dead pixel, you probably would have never noticed it. But you did, and now it's all you can see.

Sorry, this is a trend that I have noticed with devices lately that kind of bothers me. My suggestion - get a new one and don't go over it with a fine tooth comb! Just enjoy it!
