To get the bubbles back just use a file manager app (I use root explorer), go to System->CS, and rename the file customer.xml. Reboot the phone, and your text message bubble will be back. I don't know if it works for missed calls, as I haven't had any since doing it.

Once you do this, you'll get the help message every time you have the bubble appear. It's annoying. Using Titanium Backup, freeze help, and it will go away.

Needless to say, you have to have root access to do any of this.

How exactly do I freeze help in TB?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usmaak:
Go into TB.

Go to the backup/restore tab. There will be a big list of files.

The name of the file isn't Help, but it is close. On my phone, it was the only file with Help in it. Tap on that file. A new window with buttons on the top will open. Tap the Freeze button. That's it.

I don't have my phone with me right now, so I am doing this from memory. Sorry for not knowing the exact name of the file to freeze.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LtZKilla:
Alright, thanks. I got the bubbles back but I can't find anything with help in it to freeze. If you get a chance, tell me what the name is.

EDIT: The closest I found was "Package Access Helper." Is that it?

Ok I got my phone and signed up and got a Tmobile sim today and at home I use wifi and on stock my wifi and signal take forever to turn blue and just stay grey. When they finally turn blue I still can't connect on the play app it just times out everytime. Websites load fine but not play, I even unlocked and rooted and flashed cm10.1 and had the same problem. I try to use my data and it does the same thing but at my house I only get E so I don't know.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
Possibilities:

+bad and/or cable connection => try with another wifi network

+bad radio => try somewhere with good 3G connections.

If you can't connect at all, time to RMA.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C-4Nati:
My wifi works fine on my laptop and my galaxy nexus. I won't be in a area with good data until tomorrow. Even if that works and my wifi still doesn't should I call google? I don't know what RMA means exactly or what to do if I need too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
Even if your laptop and galaxy nexus works fine, it can still be the router. I think it is worth to try.

If wifi or data does work, definitely call Google. RMA = return merchandise authorization. short for: return the sexy phone :)

How to improve gaming performance on Nexus 7?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try trinity kernel, its a great gaming/performance kernel.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billchen0014:
choose your rom wisely, some roms like aokp has heaps of features but it may slow your device down. others like leanrom has less features, but in turn you get very good performance from a much more stripped down system. also, i suggest you do a reboot before loading an extremely intensive game such as GTA Vice City. THD optimised games also improves performance compared to non-optimised games by Lameloft, cough, i mean gameloft

I just bought a Nexus 7 from walmart for my nephew for christmas. But I also want to get a good coverage insurance for it that will cover everything. Even in case he cracks the screen. But im clueless. Walmart is selling one for over $20 bucks but i dont know if its good or not. or should I return it and buy the n7 from another retail store. I also dont think that my tmobile insurance will not cover it. because its the wifi only.

If you have insurance on your n7 what insurance do you have and where did you bought it from? I know that the n7 comes with a 1 year warranty but I dont know what it will cover.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedricemaster1:
Background:

Hi my HTC hd7 which until now has had no issues and is running on stock just recently went through a phase where it continually rebooted when i charged it. Then when I finally got it to turn on normally, there was a constant clicking sound coming from my speakers. I was also unable to place calls and texts would only send half the time. Since then the phone has refused to charge and when i plug it into a power source the charging light no longer turns on, meaning i can no longer use my phone. I first started talking to my girlfriend when i got the phone and for our 2 year anniversary i was going to create a book out of screenshots of our entire text thread, but apparently ive hit a very formidable roadblock.

Problem:

is there any way to restore my texts from the internal memory? from what ive read, it seems that the internal memory is stored on a microsim inside the phone. is there anyway to retrieve the conversation? Would it be possible to just buy a new HD7 and swap the old microsim onto the new one?

Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated. Theres so many memories and so much history in our texts i just cant bear to lose it. Thanks!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faustolg:
If your HD7 has a custom ROM you can use WP Backup to backup all the personal data and appdata from the phone to a computer and restore it when you flash a new rom, do a hard reset or migrate to a new phone (after you installed a custom rom)...

your only option now is to unlock it(you can find how here on XDA), and then use WP Backup.

Best luck.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sijarvis:
I too have a HD7. It's running windows phone 7.10.8779.8 updated just before posting this message.

Anyway, as far as I know, it's not running a custom ROM, so am I able to use WP Backup?

I can't find anything in the market place, unless of course i'm being really stupid and not using the correct search term.

I've searched SMS Backup but get a list of apps that don't appear to be for backing up SMS texts.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faustolg:
Install Dynamics v2.0 and you can use WP Backup and SMS Backup, no problem.

And forget any stupid official ROM, they are only useful to create Custom ROMs... LOL!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sijarvis:
Ok, what custom Rom do you recommend? I'm a relative newbie, so wouldn't mind a bit of advice
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeff parker:
I have the same need. I have the standard/official 7.8 ROM and want to extract all my SMSs to a file (text or Word - including images would be nice, but not essential) by thread/contact before I upgrade to a WP8 handset. Many of these are official business communications, which I want to keep on file.

My understanding is that if the ROM is replaced, then all your data and settings are deleted, so the advice above from faustolg is not very helpful.

Is there a step by step approach please that can be followed to do what we want?
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sijarvis:
I think he means that if we install Dynamics v2, that will allow us to use SMS Backup. I believe his comment about custom ROMs is just his opinion on ROMs.

I could be wrong. Perhaps he'd be kind enough to clarify the matter.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sijarvis:
Aaah yes, Dynamics 2 is a ROM, so not the answer I was hoping for.

Anyone recommend a way to back up my SMS data? I DON'T have a custom ROM installed.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sijarvis:
Can anyone help? How do I back up my phone texts?

I don't have a custom ROM installed, just the standard HTC factory rubbish....and i'm starting to hate HTC...how can they agree to make the hardware for a crap OS?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
There is no diff B/w the I9100 and the I9100T model as far as hardware is concernd ma8, all the roms and kernel meant for I9100 will wrk on I9100T for u:)

regarding ur IMEI issue well u have to clarify the same with the Seller:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If he IMEI blocks it after he sells it to you, it's a hassle to get it unblocked. You'd have to go thru dramas to prove who you are/that you're the rightful owner of the phone to the carrier who did the blocking.

Why would you be scared that he'd IMEI block it after he sells it to you tho ? Apart from ****s and giggles, doing so brings no benefit whatsoever to him.

The only major difference between the I9100 & the I9100T (I have one; Voda) is the output of the radio; the I9100T is designed to work better with 850MHz networks. Modems specifically for the I9100T (I.E modems supplied with stock roms issued by telcos who sell the I9100T) tend to work best with it so far as getting the best connectivity goes.

I have spent many hour today try to sort this one out and i am stumped.

I noticed when i checked my data usage this AM that i was a few hundred MB over where i thought i was. Now i am coming from Sprints unlimited plan so ive never really paid attention to how much data i was using (Nor did it matter since sprint was horrifically slow). So i shrugged it off and made a point of not using as much web on the phone.

Now i notice a couple hours into my morning that it has jumped about 100MB, idling next to my laptop at work. So i check the data usage, and low and Behold there is GMail sitting uptop, nomming on my data like a koala bear on some eucalyptus.

So i bring my case to you, i am at your mercy XDA please else me solve this riddle!

Relevant configs/specs etc (To the best of my Knowledge)

16GB N4 (nominal bin CPU if i tmatters)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anum86:
I have had this phone (HTC 4G LTE) rooted previously but reverted it back with RUU. I decided that after using Jelly Bean for a bit I would re root this phone. Everything seems to be working great, when apps need superuser access I can give it. The problem is when I open the SuperSU application a message window pops up saying "The SU Binary needs to be updated", I click continue and the phone just resets. So I cant go in and deny access or grant, unless asked by a program..

So far I have tried going into recovery and clearing the cache and dalvik cache to no avail. I read online to install superuser and grant supersu access, which makes no sense to me but I tried it. I also tried downloading a new zip of it and installing it again in recovery.

I have read in a couple places that some other have had this problem but nobody came back with a solution..

I am by no means an expert just a person that likes to play with their toys in their spare time. Any help would be appreciated.

So I've got the first batch of 8gb N7s when it was released. Seeing how they don't make them no more I was thinking of possibly buying another N7 32gb (aren't they $199 now on sale?). But was thinking maybe just adding a couple hundred more dollars and getting the N10 instead.

I just don't know if either would be worth it though since I rarely ever leave the house and even more rarely leave the computer room =/. And I'm the only one in the house who would even know what to do with a N7 so plans of giving it as a present to a family member may be kinda slim.

What should I do?

It is really not a hard decision tree.

If you have no need for a tablet, keep what you have or sell it and get nothing else.

If your current tablet meets your needs, keep it and get nothing else.

If you need more storage, sell what you have and get either a 32GB N7 or N10, depending on which size you prefer.

There is also a 3G consideration in there which might be a factor - but I prefer tethering anyway.
