[Nexus S General] hooah212002:
I started with Simple Mobile last month on December 5th. I went with the $50 Unlimited everything plan. I only get data coverage whilst at work (which is fine for me because I use WiFi at home) and I pretty much knew better than to download or really stream anything due to the numerous "horror" stories about MVNO's having shady practices, cutting off your service out of nowhere or having unspoken/unwritten data caps. I typically just surfed the web during downtime at work and this was all I used as far as mobile data is concerned. I installed data monitoring apps to make absolutely certain no rogue apps were using data without my knowledge.

I was absolutely floored with how good my 3G speeds were, especially considering I was coming from Big Red. I regularly was getting ~3Mbps download and similar for upload, strangely. I check my DL speed frequently and especially so after installing new ROMs (just got my Nexus S and I have spent the better part of this month finding a suitable ROM/Kernel combo that I like).

Jan. 3rd rolls around. I try updating an app and I notice that it is taking an extraordinarily long time, even though it is only a few MB's in size. I do a speedtest and, sure enough, my speed is limited to 200Kbps. I then log into my account and see that my data usage was at 2090 mb's (just over 2gb). I check the forums (both the Simple Mobile forums and numerous others found via google search) and confirm through multiple posts of people reporting similar things with the main difference being that many other people get an SMS notice, then cut off, only to have their service restored upon account "ReUp" (when you renew your plan). 2gb seems to be there unspoken/unwritten data cap.

As I said: my account ReUp occurred on the 5th. I still have garbage DL speeds to this day. I have called Customer Service a couple times a day for the past 3 days and they have claimed to have reset my data (or something like that) only for it to do nothing. Today I called the "Corporate Escalation Line" and it seemed to simply be another Indian call center..... They have had me reboot my phone and the whole nine yards. Multiple times they have claimed that my phone isn't even compatible with 3G service on their network (which is false, but whatever).

I am but one person and I don't expect this to serve as a "absolute proof you should never in a million years use Simple Mobile", but instead as a cautionary tale.

Secondly, I would like to reach out to anyone who has possibly run into this (unlikely) and what they did to rectify it (besides switching MVNO's). I will be going to T-Mobile next month, but I will have to do much better at monitoring my minutes.

I am currently on AOKP MS 1 (or however AOKP delineates itself. It's Android 4.1.2 because I don't like 4.2) running Matr1x kernel. I am about to try a different ROM just so I can say I tried everything....

I have a csv file that has my contact book of thunderbird, how can i add it to my phone contact?....just see viewer and export.

Can not use anything that need google play cuz is not working well with the custom rom.
[Motorola Atrix 2] joelangley:
MailDroid reads from the local address book on the device. There are a few free apps on the play store that import CSV files into the local address book.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Waiting4MyAndroid:
You can import your csv file into your Google contacts, then sync your address book. It should work.

So, this is an amazing phone. I just came from my Nexus One and I absolutely love it. However, the fact that the screen scratches so easily bugs the living heck out of me. I mean, it's just from when I pocket it and there is nothing I can do about it. How come it scratches so much compared to my phones in the past? I've reverted back to my Nexus One until my pouch comes here.

Also, anyone able to recommend some screen protectors that actually feel like glass that cover the whole phone? Would love to use those, but can't find any that don't feel like rubber or something, and I prefer that glass feeling.

I came from the Nexus One as well, but I haven't had any problem with the screen (or any other part of the N4) scratching. No screen protectors, but I am using a pouch from Waterfield Designs. Not saying OP is wrong; just saying that it's possible to do just fine with naked phone + pouch if screen protectors aren't your thing.

Hey what's up guys. Not sure if this has already been discussed but I was wondering if there was a way to activate the pop up browser without actually clicking on link. As many of you know we are somewhat limited on the applications we can use in split screen mode. But I noticed if I already have pop up browser open I am able to navigate to almost any application on the phone. It would be great to quickly look something up while already in a game or in an app that does not support multi window.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riiidaa:
Hi

Christmas before last I got my parents an Archos 70, not the version with the HDD. I also got them a 32gb micro sd card.

Here are the About Device details:

Model: Archos 70 Internet Tablet

Firmware: 2.4.83 (Android 2.2.1)

Board version A70S-V6

OMAP: ES1.2

I'm in the UK, it was bought here via e2save online.

The device is slow I think primarily because it's running out of space, I don't seem to be able to install apps to the SD storage of which there is plenty of free space...

The device settings > Manage Applications has mentions of:

System storage

Internal storage

I don't see mentions of SD storage for apps??

A colleague said that as of Android 2.2 Apps can be put on to SD card, I cannot see a way to do it...

Tonight I installed App2SD ver 2.72 (1739) [sam lu] via the Google play store and although it has given me a list of movable apps it STILL only gives me the option to go between internal or system - not the SD card??

I've got about 27gb free on the sd card, it has photos etc on it. Do I have to manually create some system folders or something for Android to twig that it is available for app usage?

Please help. (Thanks in advance)

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] clandor:
Hello, I recently rooted my Viewsonic Viewpad 7 and put on a custom ROM. I noticed that wifi was not working so I tried some fixes, which none of them worked. One of those fixes involved formatting the sd card. After formatting, I realized I made a huge mistake as my backups are now all gone.

So I have the clockwork recovery installed (v5.0.2.6) and I think it is causing problems. I tried using Software Update Tool L3 (SUT L3) in order to restore the firmware back to normal using the .nbo from the Viewsonic site but I think I need the original <3e> recovery. Whenever I try to recover using the tool, it reboots the device into Recovery mode and after a few minutes I get the error:

Error Code: 0xc60e

Error: Download fail,

Error = SE_ERR_SUT_DETECT_DEVICE_FAIL (0xC60E).

I believe this is because it is expecting the original 3e recovery and doesn't recognize the clockwork recovery. I tried to find a copy of the original recovery.img but I can't find it online anywhere. This thread is the closest I've gotten. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this. Or if anyone has a copy of the original 3e recovery, it may help me out.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fndpena:
Hey everyone.

Here is the deal:

I want to theme my statusbar to make it look like stock jelly bean (from nexus). It's possible to do that using apps such as "ROM Toolbox", but the problem is: The rom must be deodexed and mine isn't.

So I found this "how to" to deodex an apk in another forum:

Thanks all. Have successfully done what I wanted now

For info, this is what I did.

Created a new folder called 'system' in c:\android-sdk\tools. Obtained the odexed framework folder and placed that in the system folder. Then created a folder called app in the system folder and placed the Rosie.apk and Rosie.odex inside.

Then via cmd, entered the 'system/app' folder, so for me it was...

c:\android-sdk\tools\system\app

From there I ran the following command to end of that path: baksmali.jar -d ../framework -x Rosie.odex

This produced an out folder will all the decompiled .smali files etc. From there I was able to get to the Launcher.smali that i wanted, but to recompile to a classes.dex file you simply run the following command: smali.jar out

This produces an 'out.dex' that you can rename to 'classes.dex'

I am sure there are other commands that you can use to name files accordingly etc but this is what worked for me for what I wanted, so hopefully it will be of some help to people... if they can understand anything I've written.

Is that simple as it looks? I was planning to deodex only the file needed to customize the statusbar. I think it's the framework-res.apk.

Is there any other way to do that?

As I'm new on this deodex stuff, I would appreciate some help.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fOmey:
The statusbar is SystemUI.apk.. framework-res.apk deals with all the system pop ups etc.

I would recommend starting off with a deodexed base rom, for eg. wanams..

I would also recommend using apktool rather then baksmali.. iv had great success with apktool..

EDIT: You can find deodexed wanam base rom in general section of this section of the forum.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fndpena:
Unfortunally, flash a new rom is not an option for me right now.

Is that OK to deodex only ONE apk in order to do what I want? In this case SystemUI.apk.

I just have to deodex it using apktool and put it back to android system?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] XxeAgLeAnGeLxX:
do what fences do, compile it and put in the split test system, remember it is a system app
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] fndpena:
Sorry, but what is "split test system"?

EDIT: Nevermind... I did some research and now I'm running an AVD on android emulator.

I'll soon test the deodexed SystemUI.apk and post results. Thanks for the tips...

I'm not electrical engineer, but it sounds like your charger did something to mess it up. If I was in your position I would probably disassemble mine and, while I don't know if this is possible, disconnect the battery, and plug in the USB to the charger that you got when your Nexus. Whether this will permit your device to boot, and allow you to determine whether the battery is fried is unknown to me, maybe someone else who has more hardware hacking knowledge could give some input here.
