Hi,

I don't know where to post my questions. Today I have received my new Smartphone directliy from China. The ZTE U950, but there is only language chinese and english in it. And also no Google Play. I tried to install the newest Google Play, but it won't open. Is there a german custom Rom with Google Play available?

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] ssj3hulk:
Hi!

I have a problem with my ZTE U950. Games are freezing or restarting my phone!

Some games freeze/restart the phone/force closes after ~20 minutes, some at about ~1 hour into gaming and some run fine even for 1 hour and 45 minutes (battery run out).

Played Shadowgun THD, the phone restarted after 5 minutes, but I tried this game again and it runned fine for a hour when I exited. NFS Most wanted froze after 20 minutes (it was running on maximum settings). GTA 3 force closed after a hour, the Bard's Tale's graphics broke after a hour (picture was flicking but the game was running because I heard the character move and interacting).

Ofcourse they are all legit games, purchased and downloaded from Google Play.

What can be the problem? After playing Dark Meadow for 1 hour and 45 minutes the battery was 55C warm. Is the phone defective or it is a software issue?

Because this is the only device that ever was made that is so perfect it needs no Rom to be perfect. ￼ and lg also made specially so that you have something to complain about because otherwise life wouldn't be perfect. ￼
[HTC One X] admirall:
After rooting the HTC One X (after received OTA JB) I installed custom recovery CWM and SuperSU (not on my phone). Now I need to install busybox, but the ones from Play store does not want to install. Is there any installable zip of last busybox, that I can install through recovery?

Thank you.
[Nexus 10 General] jofi62:
Recently purchased Nexus 10, overall very impressed but have had issues with trying to transfer .mp4 files. thinking it's probably the encoding I trialed pavtube converter with the nexus 10 patch. Success at last, so pleased with myself, bit the bullet and purchased the software. I converted a divx film and an episode, feeling pretty pleased with myself tried to transfer the files in windows to see error copying file, not compatible message, how gutted was I. after a few more attempts at encoding with no success, I transferred the file I done in the demo version of pavtube back to the pc, and deleted the copy on the nexus 10. When I attempted to transfer it back I got the error copying file message again. Sure that I knew this file was ok, I decided to rename the file extension to .mp3. This time when I tried to transfer the file to the movie folder, it went straight across, I then opened ES File explorer on the Nexus 10 renamed the file extension back to .mp4 and the video played perfectly. I did the same with the other files I previously encoded, all played without issues. Just thought I'd share my experience in case anyone out there is having similar issues.
[Nexus 10 General] craigacgomez:
That doesn't sound like a problem with the tablet... sounds like a MTP transfer issue, probably specific to the version of Windows you are using... I have no problems transferring any file types (including mp4) via Windows 8 or Ubuntu...

Guys which version of the kindle app works on this device?
[Nook Touch General] ladykayaker:
I didn't enjoy Kindle on the Nook. Instead I use Calibre.

Download the kindle book to your pc, add to Calibre, use Apprentice Alf's plug-in to remove the DRM, convert the kindle book to epub and load to nook.
[Nook Touch General] putnum:
Yes I was doing that but as of late whenever i try and convert a mobi file to epub using calibre the format is all wrong. Have you ever had that issue?

Can you be more specific about 'didnt finish installing'

What exactly is or isn't happening on the nook.

Also do other apps install? Or is it just the kindle app?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
Hello all,sorry to open such a thread in Dev section,it's only temporary and to be deleted as soon as it's stated useless by your reports or by moderators but i think there's a general issue with /datadata partition on CM10.1 based roms and i'd like to see things identified as soon as possible.

Question is simple:

If you're then on a CM10.1 based rom,approximately post 05/12,could you check you're /datadata partition and report if it is empty/unused?

"Chances" for that to happen: Having done a factory reset after 05/12 and not come no wipe from other rom than CM10.1 sources based ones (so not coming from Pawitp's aosp preview as /datadata works fine with it,only cm10.1 sources based roms).

Thanks for help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franzyroy:
Since that I am Helly Bean (base CM 10.1), I have never made of factory reset, however, my "datadata" folder is empty. I don't know when and how, this has begun! :(

Otherwise, all works correctly, it's good, fast and smooth... Go to understand why! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] KSLevel11:
Try to use "df" command in terminal emulator, and check used space of /datadata.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
Yeah,that's what i want CM10.1 based roms users to do and report ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franzyroy:
This one of Wingg to compare! datadata is OK for him...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tictico:
/datadata is a protected folder. You can't view its content with a simple file browser. You must use a root file explorer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] !n0x:
Viewed using Root Explorer. My /datadata seems to be fine. Tictico might have a point.

ROM: BeastROM 12/07 build
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ts1506:
Lame , you can see that Franzyroy has run the 'su' command already which allows complete root access to that app.

Also , I tried Hellybean 2012/12/08 today and my datadata is 8.5MB used , but it is empty inside.

If 4.2 doesnt use datadata , then maybe Fishears build without datadata and 1.8GB /data is actually beneficial, as we get extra space for apps without losing speed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franzyroy:
I know... I uses Solid Explorer or Estrongs Files Explorer with root activated, and also show the hidden files.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

Good seen! ;) But to confirm with su command.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
I was wondering what point but i got it now,no i'm used to that stuffs and not just reporting my own issue,it's just that i see many concording reports here and there and see peoples complaining about lags,reflashing,wiping data again thinking it's a specific rom issue and not knowing why their device COULD be laggy (not every phone acts the same with /datadata></data/data symlink broken).

Reports must come with little background please,the main point is "wiped data at least one time since approximately 05/12?"

By the way there's is two Beast rom 12/07 builds,yours is 4.2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
Indeed as Fishears build doesn't use any /datadata partition it is not concerned but i don't think it will be 4.2 on sgs cm10.1 way.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] franzyroy:
It seems to have seen a Rom without datadata folder, I was wondering why, but I haven't reported it. I won't know to say which it was!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ts1506:
No lags

I always flash with full wipes of /data , /datadata , /cache , /system , and I dont face any lags with Hellybean 05/12 or 08/12 . Also , I tried GNex 4.2 ROM by Elite F7 build, no lags . :D :D

Without wiping from CM10 , there are some lags , but they are easily solved by only cache , dalvik cache wipe.

All is well on my end. I use CM10 daily , but will test Hellybean 08/12 from tomorrow in order to find lag issue, if any. Will report findings.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
You may not face any lags with unused /datadata partition,check Fishears thread to know that first:

And even if as me you're on MoviNand you still may not face any visible lags on your device,mine does as many others,a choice has been made on cm10 to keep using /datadata as it was the better solution for the majority of users.

Keep using /datadata + lvm for best performance/storage balance for majority.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ts1506:
My Galaxy S has iNand, maybe thats why my phone does not lag, but one of my friends have Galaxy S with moviNand , with Elite F7 4.2.1 , his phone also doesnt face any lag( this is installed with full wipe ).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
That's why,at least the main reason.

Fishears build could be a good choice for you if you need more /data space ;) (among others things like following a cool dev and enjoy rom's specific features and all...)

The bug,if exists,is only concerning CM10.1 recents builds.Elite's rom is aosp build.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Szighy:
so datadata should be anything else but 0.0?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
It should be filled with some app's data (cache,libs,...) It should have the exact same content as what you have in /data/data,it's a symlink.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Szighy:
for me says only 2.3M in terminal emulator...i guess that's not good then :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bejda:
No good in theory ;) If you're not feeling lags on the rom you are then don't worry.

Wich rom btw?Helly user too?

For now i tested 3 rom with same behavior,Helly 05 and 08/12,Mackay 08/12 and matt73300's 05/12 unofficial build.

I would like to thank the developers your great SGSII JB V10.1 ROM, it's just perfect, but it would be nice if it would have Full Arabic support, because a lot of my friends (me included) love this rom but can't make use of the English language as they text and receive texts in Arabic. If there is a way to install the Arabic language (+Keyboard) manually, then I would be glad to know how.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stevessvt:
I really, really think its gots nothing to do with Samsung, and everything with TMo. The international S3, Note 2 (note 1?), the Verizon note 2, the sprint note 2 and now the S2 have all got it, or about to get it.

TMobile? Not a word.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
Yes it is tmobile its not samsung. I just find it amazing that we cant get an update period and all these old phones are getting it...I mean its just backwards. I understand that it takes time for tmobile to port over updates and what not...but this is stupid.

I mean the note 2 is where multiview CAME from and we dont have it ON OUR NOTE 2'S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PsychoSane:
This is getting completely stupid and I'm generally a patient person. I'd still be patient but for the fact that the other carriers have released multiple OTA's while T-Mo can't manage to pump even one out. Hell, it would be cool it they even leaked it so we could unofficially beta if we so desired.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ericshmerick:
I contacted T-Mo's support on Twitter, and they responded with something like "we are working closely with Samsung, etc and stay tuned."

I reminded them it's not Samsung that's the delay - it's T-Mobile. They conveniently didn't respond.

I'm new to T-Mo and don't like the way things are going so far. WTF is their delay??

Cospiracy theory ? Watch this video bro.

And *I* can't disable it because im not rooted. So it is a definite concern for me. Serious watch this . Dude runs a real time log cat and CarrierIQ runs code for every button pushed as well as each number dialed on the dial pad . This is even more than *I* thought it did. Scary stuff.

They can actually cut this back on when you clearly unchecked it. Don't know if it was because of reboot or they saw it when I was arguing about my bill.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
1) you should be scared if you are doing something that you aren't supposed to be doing

2) They really can't use any personal information (that's against their privacy policy and if someone did find out, they'd get the **** sued out of them, especially in this litigation-happy country).

3) You can turn it off... which, if you did a simple search on these forums has been posted at least 5 times by now (I've personally seen at least 3 posts about it)

4) The video you posted is by the original "discoverer" of CarrierIQ. The software itself is programmable, meaning we don't know exactly what T-Mobile is collecting, many phone simply have it to note mundane things like signal strength, etc. Also, here's an article on the guy who blew the whistle:

http://www.dailytech.com/Carrier+IQ...hart+Works+for+Tracking+Firm/article23511.htm

As many have known for a while now (it's been almost a year, and no one has died). It's hype and poor implementation by HTC (which has also been discussed on previous "OMG CARRIERIQ" threads).

I'm just tired of the sensationalism that surrounds CarrierIQ.

Hmm, interesting, mine's still checked off, since the day I bought the phone (10/29). I don't think T-Mobile has the power to be able to re-toggle a switch that a user explicitly un-toggled... not to mention this is one phone that has it, imagine having to code that up for all phones and adding it to their system, etc. Even if they did, the information they collect really has nothing to do with you and you should have no worries unless you're doing something "illegal" like tethering your laptop without a hotspot plan, although that's probably caught by their backend servers sniffing your packets using pattern recognition software which is the same software that Google uses to direct ads to you on gmail based on your e-mail contents, but I don't hear many people complaining about that... maybe because it's "free"... (Go here to see the real "price" of Google: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb, it's google's ad preference manager which tells you who Google things you are and what you're interested in, so they can sell that info to advertisers)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bipoler:
Ok my issue with lack of updates is lack of communication. T-Mobile clearly has an agenda for when it plans to release the update. Perhaps one big update turning on LTE, 4.2, etc some have speculated, but to reply something so generic is what's annoying. Finally people this is America's, hell this is planet earth. Do you REALLY think carrier iq is preventing companies and government from seeing or doing anything that they choose? Please don't be so comfortable in your false safety nets.......Lol at removing and disabling carrier iq lol trust if they need to know something, record audio, take pictures from your phone without your knowledge it's been done
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mojorisin7178:
I think they are talking about the internatinal s2 and s3 in that article. From what I heard and I could be wrong the international note 2 already has the multiwindow thats how we got it ported over. Everything over here in the good old U.S. of A ( land of the free home of the brave) bulcrap always comes way after the rest of the world. If google went with samsung for there newestr nexus device I would have went that way but I just cant do lg. My first android phoine was the g2x and I lucked out and got one of the good ones but with all the problems and lack of support by LG and tmo left a bad tast in my mouth. BUt I really with samsung would make a AOSP note 2 like the g2x but it will never happen.

The flip side of this is we have some real kick ass devs in the tmo fourm alone and I am sure that the rest of the carriers have them too a phone like this is bound to attact the best of the best. If you look in the dev only sub fourm we have some eleite recongnized devs working together now. So with that and the fact that all the different varents are so close in similarity we will have some real good stuff. Dont worry about what tmo and samsung does we will do what we always do which is do it ourselves. Or i should say the devs will do it themselves people like me will support them in any way possible.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stevekixs:
I spoke to a representative from Samsung today, and a rep from Korea. They said we should be getting the multi window update very very soon. Basically waiting for tmobile to shoot out the OTA.

Check your phones over the next week or so, because it should start coming out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ssCISengineer:
I understand your point ' it means international phones'

But.man please...we dont even have it and other OLD phones are getting it. Its just backwards.

You people give these carriers way too much slack and credit.

This is why we root and go with custom ROMs

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ebatr8:
Some people are so skeptical about there phones, if your belief is that they can monitor everything you do on your phone then I'd doubt they would stop at something so simple as CIQ. If you want to feel safe just don't own a cellphone live in a cave with no electronics, or move to a third world country but be careful, those satellites are still tracking you. On a more serious note, the update is being tested people need to relax. Your phone works, nothing you could use when you bought your phone has stopped working because you don't have the update. Tmobile is taking longer to release it then maybe other carriers in the end it doesn't matter because in the past other carriers have slacked with other phones just ask people on vzw who had the thunderbolt, the fascinate, and other crap phones that got abandoned. Almost every carrier has slacked or hung there customers out to dry with a particular model at some point at least the update is being tested so we should have it at some point, I've seen a test device with it.
