[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Lennyuk:
it's been up there for weeks! it's very buggy, has major sleep issues (and thus terrible battery drain issues) and many other problems.

and the red triangle you refer too means it is a leak rather than an official release.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zaslamel42:
Ahh, thanks! I had thought that. It sucks that the LTE version is getting 4.1.2 first. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nordemoniac:
Hi!

I have a couple of devices (f.ex. Harmony Link from Logitech) which needs an Android app which is only available in the US play store.

I found a link however, which directed me directly to the app in Play Store, where I could download the app.

I've also downloaded it through the APK-extension in chrome with my user and ID.

If I now want to share this app (which is marked as "private" on the phone), will it contain any of my information?

I mean the APK which I got from play store after using the APK-extension.

Also - can I rename the APK-file without causing any installing issues?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
The APK doesn't contain any personal information. Anything that the app stores is most likely in the relevant folder in /data.

You can call the APK whatever you like. The app information won't be changed if you do that, so it will still install with its correct name.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nordemoniac:
Thanks!

Will I be violating anything on this forum if I share a free app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrux.chirag:
Better to ask an admin or heads of these website.

I think you can share as long as you keep the credits. But i am not sure about it.

Hope i helped :) .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pizzlewizzle:
Hope I dont get flamed for this but i guess getting flammed on the internet is better then messing up my girlfriend's phone :p. I have a Sprint GS3 and all the ROMs on the forums over there are made specifically for Sprint phones. I'm just curious as to how it works having AT&T, Rogers, Bell ect. in the same forum? Do all ROMs work for all carriers in this forum? Should I only be flashing ATT ROMs? Im nervous to have her flash something and mess her phone up...I just did the no trip root method and bumped her up to Jellybean. I'm glad y'all finally got some JB love over here! Any tips or advice on what not to do would be appreciated.

Thanks

Edit: Also see people having issues with loosing their IMEI...how are people doing this? Looks like its mainly from installing custom ROMs... Looks like you can back up your IMEI, but what are these people doing to have this happen to them because I'd like to avoid that also...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pizzlewizzle:
really...nothing?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amzi:
nope only flash sprint ones. i heard that tmo ones work with att. but other then that you gotta flash your own model
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pizzlewizzle:
No i understand that... My girlfriend has an AT&T GS3 that i just rooted for her. I was wondering if theres anything i have to worry about flashing Rogers or other carriers listed in this sections development forums? I've read something about changing APN's and other stuff that is foreign to me being on Sprint.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
if it's in this section, you're most likely safe to flash it.

as for the 0 IMEI bug/glitch/thing... that's just a random thing, there's really no way to know if it'll happen the next time you flash a ROM. you just have to take precautions. backup your IMEI. if you flash your first ROM, and your IMEI is there, try to stick with that ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pizzlewizzle:
Appreciate the response. Damn... so now every time you flash a ROM you need to not only make a nandroid but also back up your IMEI? also... i don't have an ATT GS3 in front of me...How hard is it to change your APN settings? I heard you need to mess with that sometimes if you're having LTE issues. We don't have an option like that on our phone
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhomiec:
once you backup your IMEI, it's backed up. just don't lose your backup. so make a backup of your backup. :)

as for APN settings, that varies as well. it all depends on ROM, location, signal, provider, etc. but it's rather straight forward. go to your network settings, and you'll see a menu for APN. you don't need an ATT phone to see it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amzi:
How important is having a backup of the IMEI i havent lost it and ive been flashing back and forth?

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

Sorry didnt understand your question...

Yea hardware on i747 and i747m are the same therefore you can flash the same roms on each device. All you have to do is flash the correct modem and fix the apns for your carrier att, telus etc
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebrit:
Has anyone else received their nexus 10 with the black "do not accept if seal is broken" stickers ripped? I'm in the uk if that makes any difference. The battery was at 65% (though it looks like this is normal/common). It might not be an issue except it also has light bleed in the corners so I guess I'll be returning it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4nt:
nope, but the screen looked awful when I got mine, covered in crap with a scratchy bit in the middle, then I realised it was a peel off cover and it was pristine underneath

You should be able to send it back, I'm sure they'll know if someone else opened it, was quite suprised when I booted mine up and I was greeted with my name on the log-in screen.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yeria:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsachdeva:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdevega:
My replacement had one broken seal. So I guess its still okay since it wasn't opened and tampered with.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tosh3004:
Yes mine was delivered yesterday by tnt. Bag torn and seals broken. Not accepting that. Disgusted.

Rang the number for returns and an American answered. Very slick on the phone and offered apologies. No way am I having that. Play store should be ashamed of themselves.

Will never deal with them again. How are you supposed to give that as a gift ffs.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyronnster:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnyguy:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikehulme1983:
My seal was also broken and box was ripped on one corner, Im too impatient to send back and wait for another.

battery was about 65%
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joebrit:
I'd be interested to know why some peoples' seals were broken. Is it being a return the most likely explanation? Was there any light bleed? I really don't expect to pay £400 for a return.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty2k:
I've had 3 Nexus 10's so far - one purchase and two replacements for various problems.

There were plain white seals on the first that were in tact, but the two replacements both had black Samsung seals that were broken.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yannouc'h:
I had 2 seals

One broken, other one not

Battery was also discharge around 65%

No issue until now :)

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risktaker:
Original had packing tape seal but no Samsung Seal. Second nexus had 1/2 the seals broken.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoInSTL:
I ordered mine the Friday after the Tuesday launch and only had clear packing tape on the short ends of the box.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tosh3004:
Replacement arrived and just one of the black seals broken this time. These people are utter garbage. I have never paid for anyhting worth £400 before which has been tampered with before i even get my hands on it. Again i cannot really give as a gift so a third one is going to have to be ordered. Another freeze on my debit card of £400 meaning over a grand in a week which has been held onto by Google. And no returns stickers for the first one menaing i will have to ring them again in the USA to discuss.

I am wondering, have they found a way to get into the box by just breaking one seal and tampering with the device. I suspect it is easily doable.

Never have i dealt with any company so unprofessional.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharp910sh:
I would give up you know. They are just passing around rma devices. I would return them all. And wait for a month till new devices are made. I have the same problem.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
You sure the Play Store is to blame? Maybe customs is opening them in some countries? I know quite a few places that open items to inspect them, especially if it is electronics.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty2k:
Random checking on consignments perhaps, but there's no way customs in any country would open 90% of the devices in a consignment.

This is clearly the logistics handlers (Computer 2000 in the UK) being told to recycle RMA'd devices.

Utterly shameful IMO.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4n6science:
I just got my nexus 10 today and had them install my user info. When I opened the box, both black seals were intact.

[HTC One X] Long Lunatik:
I'm working on a project for my university, and I intended to use the One X as the main camera. The problem is, when I import the videos captured by the One X to After Effect, it says that the Frame Rate is only 14.237 ??

I saw many people complaining about the FPS issue, but not this bad. So what I want to ask is is this a hardware or software problem ? I'm using the Ordroid rom and stock Camera app.

If it's a software problem, are there any apps that you would suggest ?

Thank you !
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Getting solid 23fps @ 1080p with android 4.2 stock camera. I think the stock 4.1 camera would perform quite similarly
[HTC One X] killa12222:
Seems to be the same for me when I use Sony Vegas because the One X doesn't have a constant frame rate. Stock unmodified camera app should be filming in 24fps so try using 24fps as your export settings.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] csmall:
Is it normal for the Google Play Store to ask for my password?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erik077:
Do you have active gmail account on device ? Did you recently wipe cache or something ? Again, can you access your email on gmail (or did you change password on it) ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] csmall:
I have an active gmail. I've been using android for years. I've been on tons of ROMs etc... I've never had the store specifically ask me for my password before. My gmail is working fine etc.. no prompts for the password anywhere else in the apps/ROM.

I flashed a cm10 nightly from 11/26 to 12/3 and then it happened. Weird.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If you just flashed a rom without wiping data it may have reset the pass when you flashed the gapps if its actually the playstore asking its fine it will just redirect you to accounts and sync in settings and have you sign in. Are you sure its not asking for your PIN to purchase apps via sprint bill or a credit/debit card?

Sounds like Google is adding some security to app purchases.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Its a security measure for Google wallet so someone can't pick up your device and use it. Next is 2 part authentication. Don't panic its to protect your moneys. It was in the terms and conditions on my playstore update, yes I read those :cool:

Edit: 2 part isn't mentioned in the t&c this came from a friend of mine who works at Google the plan is to have you put in your account password and then a PIN for all wallet purchases which playstore now uses wallet to authorize purchases. Annoying as hell but will prevent alot of fraud. Its actually really easy for someone like me to steal your cc# and info off of an nfc enabled device as long as nfc is on. All you need is a simple program and bump into the person with your device in range of theirs, gives a whole new meaning to pick-pocketing don't even need to go in your pocket anymore

[HTC Sensation] mueslihippie:
Hi, I'm experiencing serious problems if I install a Jelly Bean based rom on my Sensation 4g (TMOUS). Although the other party can hear me clearly, I can't hear them, but the sound is lagging, distorted or there is no sound at all. I only experience this on calls (both by cell network and by VOIP apps). If I'm using a headset the problems are gone. Media plays back fine too.

All problems disappear if I install an ICS rom (currently Revolution).

Does anybody else experience similar problems or know a fix?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
I'm using jelly bean paranoid Android by Dragun Korr and my calls are all clear. Perhaps this is rom related. The issue could lie in the rom itself. Have you tried other jelly bean roms to test and see if it's that particular rom that's causing the issue? I would experiment and see if call quality returns with a different jelly bean rom. If after installing a different rom, the issue still persists then you will know this is device related. Do some experimenting and see. It's likely that once you flash a different jelly bean rom, the issue will disappear.. but do some experimenting and see. It's strange because on different jelly bean roms my data had terrible issues, once I flashed this jelly bean rom those issues went away. So do try another jb rom and see if the issue is still present or fixed. Best wishes.
[HTC Sensation] mueslihippie:
realsis, thanks a lot for pointing this out - I've already tried different JB roms, but I gather they were all based on Bruce's CM10 version... I've installed ParanoidDragün now, and call quality is flawless again :)

I'm still curious why I had those issues with Bruce's Kang and similar roms, as nobody else seems to run into this issue... I've already tried different radios and firmwares, but nothing helped.

Guess I'll just have to avoid this rom, although I really like it (ParanoidDragün seems nice too though).

Anyway I'm happy now realsis, thanks a lot :)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Your welcome, you know I was also wondering the very same question. I have terrible trouble with the Cm roms myself. I thought I was the only one? I can't receive data on anyone of them. I'm so glad you got your issue fixed! I've never had any trouble myself with paranoid Android. I'm using kernel 3.0.53 and battery life is wonderful! Data is strong and calls are clear. There must be something in Cm that's messing with our data quality. For me, I had no data at all so, yes it's very strange that some can run it without issue, while others like you and I can not.. well, I'm very happy you are able to run jelly bean now without problems! Take care:D

The best way to find out the signal strength is to see the device information but not through the signal strenght indicator bar. If you really want to find it out, press *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone information,at there u look at the signal strength, comparing only with the -value dBm by change it either GSM only or WCDMA only base on your current location, please take note that the the lower the negative value will be more good (it involved some mobile satellite communication cell strength math calculation). basically what i try to tell is in this artical http://www.tested.com/tech/android/557-how-to-measure-cell-signal-strength-on-android-phones/

what you can do is flash the radio version accordinglly and check the signal strength based on your location where you use your device as daily use.

Feedback here to share your findings with us after you test out the signal.

For me, i tested 28M [ i tested with HSDPA] is more suitable to use on my location where is my house, university and office. The best way if you can is test with the radio version which is released in your country for the incredible s device in the RUU rom.

[Nexus 7 General] cgorki:
Hi guys didn't find this topic anywhere on XDA and maybe it's a general JB Problem, but I experienced it on my Nexus 7.

After adding a second user account (I'm on MoDaCo's N7 3G ROM) my N7 was having extreme lags and was running choppy.

This guide (Method 3) seems to have it fixed for me.

So try it out and post your results here!
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
erm, I have no idea why all those steps.. the second user seemed laggy, but I think it was partly because it doesn't kill other apps that are running, or doesn't seem to.. And overall seemed laggier.

I deleted the second user, done, back to normal.

No fooling with su.

Okay, I read it again.. Basically you can ADD users without being rooted and it's okay.. Seems weird to me, I'd like to hear the reason, but interesting.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidws:
Loving the Nexus 4 (stock JOP40D + root) although I'm having some issues with the phone sometimes rebooting randomly (1-2 times a day)

and today it turned itself off during a long call (after about 45 mins) and would not boot again.

I pressed all combinations of buttons, plugged into the charger and it would not turn on.

Left it aside for a few mins, pressed power+vol and it booted normally as if nothing happened.

I then went to check the battery settings, and noticed a strange gap (screenshot) like the ones I was getting on my S2 after this kind of reboot.

Any ideas of what could have caused this?
