KEEP AWAY FROM MERIMOBILES

I bought a newman N1 in octomber 2012. The device came to me two weeks later but it was defective. No signal at all. I send an e-mail to them and they answered tons of e-mails just trying not to change it. After a month they told me to sent it back (I paid the fee) and they didn't change it as they should. I waited three!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! months to get it back repaired with another cover. they send me back my old phone with the red buttons but blue cover. CIRCUS. Last week the same thing again.

The phone is dead again and they send me the same b****it. I have to send it back to them , they will sent it to the manufacturer etc...

Another three months waiting just for a no good phone.

WARNING: STAY AWAY FROM MERIMOBILES. DANGER

I do need to clarify a few things, The warranty is provided by the Manufacturer and not by us, and they service/repair

the items, they only replace the items if deemed necessary as stated in the return policy When we receive an item back for repairs the item is really with us for a maximum of 48 hours, as we simply forwarded it to the manufacturer so that it can be serviced under their warranty. In your case it took longer than usual as you sent back the item in between the chinese new year holiday. The speed as which we get it back from you is out of our control at it depends on the shipping method used and shipping company you used which we have no control off.

Prior to sending the item back the Manufacturer test the item, and we double check it prior to sending it back. All Smartphones are covered by a 1 Year Manufacturer's warranty.

he Warranty process with Manufacturers.

thank you

Hello,

I enabled the mount option in BusyBox (it wasn't checked in the list of apps) in my rooted MK808 android TV and tried to mount a NFS share from my LAN using the following command in the terminal:

busybox mount -o ro,vers=3 -t nfs /192.168.0.10/storage /mnt/sdcard/cifs/storage

but I get the following message:

mount: permission denied (are you root?)

Does anyone here have any idea why this happens and how to enable the NFS mount?

Thanks a lot,

David

Thank you for your help. I think that you're right about the syntax (separate problem).

Unfortunately, I still get the same "permission denied" error message :(

Regards.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heiNey:
did you ever figure this out? i just got an mk808 and i'm having a different issue.

i solved the permission denied by typing 'su' at the command line to get root on the mk808, but trying to mount says that the share doesnt exist.

my ubuntu box sees the nfs shares without a problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasanthtcs:
I have a MK808 running finless 1.7 ROM.

the nfs mount command does not work.

When I checked

\proc\filesystems

nfs is not supported.

What ROMS are you using that supports NFS in MK808 ?

I am able to mount my nfs shares without issues in all my other unix devices [WDLXTV etc]
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
I am thinking of putting SWAP file* on my phone inside its internal memory (for example on Data partition). I know that in theory a swap file will reduce lifespan of memory due to frequent r/w access. However, what is the realistic degree of that reduction likely to be?

Assuming an internal memory chip lifespan is ~20 years, would the swap reduce it to:

- 18 years?

- 10 years?

- 5 years?

- six months?

These are just examples. I am looking for a general estimate, but based on some sound arguments and not unsubstantiated hearsay.

* - swap file size: 64mb, total size on Data partition: 200mb - which means on every boot swap file would be placed in different physical sector of the partition, thus decreasing the potential wear. Average swap file usage ('free' command in terminal: 4-12mb)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kajojo:
I am running a Citrix client on my S2 to connect to a Windows system. When I hook it up to a monitor via HDMI I get the same resolution as the phone screen and that is not very usefull.

Since the S2 can output 1080p when playing HD videos I guess it must be possible to somehow make it do that in other cases as well? Would this require modding/hacking the Citrix app, kernel, drivers or something else? Anyone got any clue?

Hi to all!

Im having difficulty in having the sim tool kit icon appear in the app drawer in a 4.2 aosp custom rom. Stk.apk is located at system/apps but it is disabled. Proper permissions have already been made but still of no success. I think the app compiler has defaulted it to "false". How can i set this to be "true"?

Anyone who can help me with this problem because i need the sim tool kit very badly anytime of the day?

Thanks in advance...

My GN I9250 When i purchased had 4.0 in it.. it came from abroad therfore i cant claim its warranty

it Says "Camera Not Found". sometimes it works and sometimes it stops functioning i don't know the reason why ?

Could anyone help me please ?

I upgraded to 4.1 then 4.1.2 and then 4.2 .. In Every update it has same camera problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] guillermo1996:
This may be because the camera isn't connected well to the phone. If you have warranty, you just have to send it (don't ask me where :confused:), if you don't have, you may want to repair it by yourself

Mentioning Credits in OP is very important !

Yeoh Sahil bro, thanks for coming in clean...Personally, i have nothing against you & if not mistaken, i have seen you in one of my thread too, right... ;)

i would be gladly to withdraw my message on both of your threads with the condition...

1) Update appropriate credits to your OP

2) Come here & hit the thanks button, that is the least you could do to show your appreciation to Master Shifu bgcngm for using his unpack/ repack script. Or you could spend him a beer since you are wrongdoing to him not me !

To an end-user they wouldn't have know or wouldn't even care if you mention credits. However, to fellow DEV/ modder/ programmer, it means alot to them...When you mention credits in the op, it means you appreciate, recognise, respect & you truly honored to the original DEV for their work that you have taken from...When you don't include credits, end-user will think you are doing all this work by yourself...You can also notice, even great/ well known DEV/ modder/ programmer all mention credits in their OP b'cos they give recognition to the original work/ person they have taken from too...

Most importantly, Point taken, lesson learned, thats all as i wouldn't want to involve forum moderator on such minor case...

As for you, afkfurby. i don't think Master Shifu bgcngm or for that matter of fact, anybody at all, would like their work hacked & replaced with your name in it...Or you could ask him directly yourself...

Fyi, Kadan, the DEV for Logobuilder has started a thread here at xda here too... ;) Credits to fellow xda member EGY_STARS who inform me that he manage to 'track' down Kadan from russian site & most probably b'cos of that Kadan started his new thread here & share his updated tool that unpack/ repack logo.bin/ logo.img & boot_logo too... :good:

And i bet you guys haven't see this sticky by MOD Tom recently too...

No hard feelings

Cheers...

[Miscellaneous Android Development] x1123:
Do you mean custom rom ... ? I think need time to wait custom rom will available for public. I have similar phone with different brand. I bought in Bangkok in the last December 2012. Brand is MXNEC. Im interesting to this phone due to serve dual sim card. I do like Android dual sim phone and fit with my need. During couple days searching, I just realize the phone is MT6577 base (Mediatek). Many phone in Market based on MT6577 under various brand. I'm pretty sure they use similar kernel sources. Someone know where we can obtain kernel source for this device (MT6577). This device is declared as Galaxy S3 clone. How to ask moderator to open up NEW THREAD for this device MT6577 whatever the brand I believed we hold exactly similar device

CWM for Xperia Miro beta

​

Installation

Download the attached zip file

Unzip It

Connect you phone in usb debugging mode to pc

Windows users double click install.bat

Linux users use terminal to run install.sh

How to use

Connect the charger to your phone

Power off

Now the phone will shutdown and automatically boot to offline charging mode. When you see the sony logo press vol - button repeatedly.

Now you should be in cwm recovery

Warning : I have'nt tested installing any rom using recovery since no custom rom is currently available for Xperia Miro.

Warning : Do not install any custom rom that doesnot support this recovery. If you do so you may endup with a phone that cannot boot to recovery

Warning : Do not format system partition. Since this cwm is installed inside system partition, cwm will also be erased

For ROM developers

copy sh file inside files folder to system/xbin

Copy other files inside files folder to system/bin

Go to META-INF/com/google/android/ and you will find updater-script

Add the following lines to it

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/recovery.tar")
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/battery_charging")
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/bin/battery_charging_help")
set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "/system/xbin/sh")

Donot use custom kernel or ramdisk. You should not modify boot partition
