[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
I don't know much about this but I don't think that's true. SIM unlocking the phone doesn't happen over the networks so AT&T, other than having the correct code, doesn't have much to do with it. Also, nothing is permanent on the phone other than /system which requires root to change. I think you could solve your issue by factory resetting the phone. That should clear out what ever file or app is saying you are permanently blocked after incorrectly entering a code.

You could also try clearing data for certain apps that have to do with the SIM card and phone app. But I have no idea which ones and it could cause problems.

EDIT: I saw whoamanwtf's post. I have had my phone sim locked before and yes contacting the original carrier will get you the code. I thought you were talking about sim/network unlocking.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Miguel_Martins:
I am talking about SIM/network unlocking.

I bought the E970 while in the US, but I live overseas in Europe. I used the phone in the US with a AT&T Sim card, when I returned to my country in Europe I tried to unblock the phone so I could use it with Vodafone, but the code didn't work. The phone is already rooted and have the bootloader unblock all by me.

That's when I used the code 2945 # * 970 # to enter in the SIM Unlock Process, and on the Network Lock option it says "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked".

The previous owner must have tried to unblock the phone using Internet codes, you can only insert 10 wrong codes, before the cellphone locks itself for good, meaning it stays blocked to AT&T. My question is does anyone know how to remove the setting of permanent locking? The phone works fine, but I cant change the SIM card to my carrier, it won't accept the SIM.

I was told that those kind of setting are in a different part of the phone, in dedicated chips and you need to use special tools like the SE tool box, or the Z3X box. But none of those boxes currently support this phone.

Does anyone know more about this? I really need to use the phone and I can't because my Vodafone SIM card is not accepted.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Would installing a custom ROM reset everything so you could try unlocking again?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
This is just guessing, but no, I don't believe so.

This isn't a ROM issue.

The only thing that I can think of that MIGHT work is lgnpst... or maybe even the n4 conversion and then back to the stock OG.

The only reason I think that may work is it completely overwrites some partitions that are otherwise untouched by recovery/flashing/etc.

Mind you, the process is really dangerous and not supported by most of the devs (including those who pioneered it).

OP - either try and sell it for ~$100 and get another one... or try those methods since it doesn't do you much good atm.

Or go to the irc channel and see if the much much (much much much) more knowledgeable people in there know a fix.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Miguel_Martins:
I'm using the Base 0.7.3 with Nocturnal LE MOD

But the phone was already like this even with stock rom.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Miguel_Martins:
Where can I find the lgnpst?

Usually this kinda of problems can be solved using dedicated hardware/software, such as service and repair tools.

I'm sure LG have them, since they're the ones who made the phone, so it's a matter of time until someone makes a commercial repair tool.

I just need to know if someone as ever tried to read/write or at least located the EEPROM with the hard network lock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
You'll have to use the links here to get them from IRC, it is not allowed to be posted on XDA.

(I would ask somebody in there if it is even possible).

LINK.

But again, Idk if that will do the trick or not, it is the best chance though.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Miguel_Martins:
Does anyone ever tried to find were the phone saves the information about the sim card? Or about the carrier?

Maybe it's possible to fool the system.

Does anyone know where the information is written?

Does the phone uses a separate chip or is it in the internal memory?

Sorry about all the questions, I just want to understand why the sim lock can't be removed.

If AT&T can remove the lock, it's just a manner of finding were that information is.

The phone searches for the sim card only after booting, right?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ChefAnt:
LGNPST it and see if it fixes it. or like Bleached said, do the LGOG conversion then fastboot erase everything.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
I believe I read that there are some partitions the conversion leaves intact.

So since you have to go the irc anyways to get lgnpst, I would ask them there if that would even fix your issue. If it won't they can save you from performing a few hours work and risky hacks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Miguel_Martins:
I flashed the original AT&T ROM using lgnpst and it's the same.

From the experience I have from old phones (especially Nokias) the permanent lock is written on a special chip.

Normally you need to use special software/hardware like the Z3X-Box or SE Tool Box.

They can repair almost everything on a phone, but right now they don't support the LGOG. I think it's because they're from Europe and E970 is America only.

Anyway I'm going to send the phone to America, maybe the guys at AT&T can repair the phone. But I have my doubts since I purchased the phone on Ebay and don't have any type of receipt. And if you permanently block your phone that's normally your fault, so they refuse to repair.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
One thing you could try add a last ditch is to pull the battery by opening the case. Then factory reset and start over by root freegee.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cemilture:
Are you solved problem. I have a same problem like you please help me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bodson66:
I have the same problem, tried many thing sbut just can't seem to unlock it. When I put cm10 on it its asked for a code but the codes i bought doesn't work
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cemilture:
Yes unlock code doesn't work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bodson66:
Before I put cyonogen mode on I could even get a prompt for the pin. This is very frustrating lol

[Motorola Photon 4G] T3HG00GLEG33K:
As a long time fan/user of ubuntu based desktops (in reality ive only been using it since i believe fiesty fawn on and off of course) Im very excited to see this

Now, im having trouble seeing it stand out above the crowd, we've seen mobile os's come and go over the years.

Anywhom, to any dev's wishful thinkers, Do you think it will be possible for us to eventually build it for our photons?

I dont see it happening right away, but as someone who appreciates what ubuntu is about, and has been doing, i think its something worth working on if possible.

Hopefully its no flop like that firefox OS thing, looked and felt like a plastic doll house from china.

I guess we will find out more as it progresses, but, Im excited to see if it is a possibility.

Essentially looking at the basic system requirements, it seems the photon could run it somewhere between starter, and high end, so, who knows.

Lets get cookin! (obviously not yet):eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
I saw that as well and as a recent adopter of Ubuntu myself, I'm very interested to try this.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
It's not a Mobile OS as the world knows mobile os's. It's Ubuntu 12/13 Desktop for ARM with a "Phone" desktop environment. On official Ubuntu phones, you plug it into a display (TV/Monitor) and it switches to Unity Desktop.

The best way to think of it is Ubuntu Desktop ARM. From there you get the idea as to how big this really is. There hasn't really been anything like this since the Zaraus C3000 from 8 years ago.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heifzilla:
I am having an odd problem where I cannot get things to default where I want.

For example, when I click on a link in an email, the phone will ask me to "complete action using" the internet browser or the popup, and will ask me if I want to use it "once" or "always". If I choose "always", I get the following message: "clear default settings by going to settings > applications manager > all". And then the next time I click on a link it again asks me which to use and we repeat the process. If I click on a link for a forum thread, I get the choice of Tapatalk or internet browser, and the same "always" or "once" selection, rinse repeat. It just doesn't seem to understand that I want it to always open links in certain apps even though I am telling it to. When I go into the settings > application manager as directed to manage defaults, apps show as "no defaults set". I also can't get it to default to youtube or any other app for that matter.

Am I missing a step, or doing something wrong? It's really annoying that this comes up for every single link I click on.

TIA.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marshalleq:
Well, I have been having a similar problem. I got my Note II (N7100) in November and various things won't set default. One of them is the 'stay awake while charging' feature which is very irritating when used in a car cradle. I've done a factory reset and no improvement. Your specific issue I don't think I'm having, but there have been other areas too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didik.wahyono:
Guys,

Recently i have received a notification from my galaxy note says, "Storage space running out".

I see in the application manager in the "All" tab, the memory usage is 1.8GB used and 200MB free.. The interesting part is, if i sum all of the application listed, it hardly reach 800MB. So there are arround 1GB lost space.

I opened the Setting>Storage there is also a surprising thing. Under Device Memory there are 1.9 GB Total Space, Application 860MB, and the available space is 200MB !!!.. So where is the 1 GB lost? i believe its being used by some sort of logging program. Because the space is keep decreasing by time, even when i don't install anything new.

Do you guys experience the same thing? Or how can i list the usage of this 2GB Device storage space? or what is the folder to check? :confused:

I'm running on RR JB v3

Thanks in advance..

Regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbolivar:
Try to check if you have corrupted files in the lost+found directory (if it exists). Your SD card might be going bad. Other option is to use another file explorer like ES File Explorer, which has lots of options. You can use it to calculate the usage, and if it matches, investigate each directory. One tip: with ES, you can long-press over a directory and select Properties, to get the usage for that particular directory. It can help you narrow-down the investigation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didik.wahyono:
thanks for the reply. But ES file explorer is not helping. it can't detect circular dependency. For example, in the /system/xbin there is a folder called "bb" this folder has no physical memory. Its just a pointer to /system/xbin which in this case is his parent. This create circular dependency, when i click properties in that xbin folder, it show me like 8GB of data and keep increasing.. its impossible right? because the xbin is mounted on a 2GB partition.

yesterday after learn about android partition, i have an idea to monitor /data partition using x-terminal. But i can't find the problem, because i have factory reset my device.. ahahah... lets see.. if this problem happen again, i already know where to start..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flomexico:
I have a Kenwood head unit in my truck. I stream Bluetooth audio and calls to it just fine, but there's no ID3 tags. It just says "No Title". Now here's where it gets interesting. Using an AOSP ROM, I have ID3 tags and even a cool little "SMS received" message. Is there any way to get that functionality on a Sense ROM?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Im fairly sure that the metadata (ID3) relies on a certian version of bluetooth AVRCP. Also sense has been known to have one of the worst bluetooth stacks known to man, although I admit it is getting much better. It could just be that the bluetooth stack in AOSP has a higher version of bluetooth AVRCP profile than sense. To clarify, AVRCP is the part of the profile that controls play, pause, and metadata. As of last, the latest AVRCP was version 1.4 and that allows, browsing and manipulation of multiple players, browsing of media metadata per media player, including a "Now Playing" list, and basic search capabilities (thanks wiki). The only AVRCP profile that does not include metadata is the basic AVRCP 1.0, this version just has play and pause capabilities only. Hope that helps somewhat:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x Jumpman23 x:
so, I'm some what of a flash addict, but the only thing holding me back is when I flash a new rom, I don't have all the playlists that I've had saved over from my CleanRom backup which took me hours to set up. I tried using TiBu and backing up the whole music player app, but once I restore it doesn't restore the playlists... is there anything else I can do? I use the stock music app btw.

[HTC Droid DNA] AndroidSmitty:
I got my boot loader unlocked successfully following the step by step instructions. I successfully installed twrp. I tried flashing the superSU file using twrp I downloaded from here but every time I try it fails. I've flashed the boot.IMG I got from here and still can't flash the supersu files and cant flash pre rooted roms to get successfully rooted. I even tried rebooting into recovery to flash again but no success no matter how many times I try. I used every tool that is released here and nothing works. Does anybody know why and am I the only person? I have the us version of the Droid DNA from Verizon. I just upgraded to it on 1/13/2013 and its 100% new & not refurbished.
[HTC Droid DNA] AndroidSmitty:
I did a Google search and I read a little about s-on and s-off . If my Droid DNA is s-on how do I convert it to s-off. I don't know for sure but that maybe why trying to get my phone rooted is failing for me. Is that what my problem is?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
You can't. Everyone has s on.
[HTC Droid DNA] AndroidSmitty:
Thanks But what do you mean i can't convert to s-off or i can't get this rooted? I never had this problem before. This is my first HTC I came from Motorola I was using Motorola from my first phone droid up to the razr. I love this HTC droid DNA.

If there's an error message, post it for more help possibly.

I've also heard some have had issues with TWRP recently.

[HTC Droid DNA] AndroidSmitty:
Yes when I flash the supersu files it said failed md 5 not found or something like that and when I tried to install a prerooted ROM it was over 800mb in size and it was taking more than 15 to install so I stop it. I tried another ROM and it started to install for about a second and it just stopped and rebooted my phone.

I don't know how to use the cwrm because it will not install anything from the internal memory so I can select the supersu files or ROM. I dont know anything about side loading but I tried somebody's tool I got from here to side load a ROM but it would not work for me.

Did you watch video on YouTube. That helped me a lot.

[HTC Droid DNA] Kasab:
You can always just flash a stock rooted Rom if you can't gain root.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
You can't get s off. But you can have root access.

What happens when you say flashing the file fails?
[HTC Droid DNA] AndroidSmitty:
Thanks I'm fine now. I got rooted and got the pre rooted stock installed. I don't know why I was having all that problems rooting. I keep getting the message failed every time I tried flashing using the twrp but last night I successfully got root after flashing using twrp. I thought I was dreaming and almost fell over when I finally got rooted. Also the superSU dont update the su. I launched the SuperSU and it said to update the su file but when I did it also failed. The superuser is working better than SuperSU so far. Thanks y'all.
[HTC Droid DNA] AndroidSmitty:
The message I was getting was just failed. The text on the twrp is so small its to hard to read.
[HTC Droid DNA] baller2007:
I had the same issue, my phone would constantly freeze when trying to flash a new rom, or if it went through i would get an infinite boot loop. i dont know what i did to fix it, re-stocked my phone with the RUU, and flashed the battery plus rom, it went through and has worked beautifully since. so maybe try that rom and see if it works for you like it did with me, i tried HATKA and CODIS with no luck

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric0668:
With regards to resizing wallpapers, I am aware of the 3 preferred sizes, 1280x768 , 1440x1280, and 1536x1280

First , with the last two dimensions I gave, the 1440 and 1536 are the width of a wallpaper meant to scroll correct? so why wouldnt the actual dimension of the first one be 768x1280?

As far as resizing all sizes, I have heard a few things. I use either Paint or FastStone Resizer.

I had first heard it's best to keep it the same resolution.....and then I read on the phone somewhere that, for instance a 1920x1080 image (which I would resize to almost the exact dimension (if I had time and calculated it), and then back to someone saying just keep the original the Nexus will resize or crop as needed

Is that true. I guess the basic question is should I not mess with them, or should I change them to the next lower resolution, closest to its dimensions.

Thank You

PS. Is there any app can detect battery capacity other than Android Tuner?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaHandy:
Hi,

Asus says the capacity is 22 Wh and TF300T uses a voltage of 5 volts. With these we can calculate the mAh:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shotlivermutton:
I have been having strange issues with my compass while running Ingress. If I have the app open when the phone is in the car dock, the compass either gets stuck (it thinks I'm always facing a certain direction) or twitches erratically. The compass works perfectly fine in Google maps while in the dock so I'm not sure I can blame that, and I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue with the app. :eek:

Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jgulig79:
I have no idea what's causing this either but it happens with my phone too. I've used both TW roms and AOSP roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybfmv96:
Yeah same here. I thought my compass or gyroscope was broken but looks like it's a common problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shotlivermutton:
Further experimentation results seem to point to interference from the engine (em interference?). The compass works perfectly fine even when sitting in the dock as long as the engine is not running. And moving the phone further back into the cabin away from the engine seems to reduce this effect. I'm going to try to re-mount my dock so that the dash is between the phone and the engine and see if that helps.

Google maps seems to counter this effect by taking the roads and vehicle movement into account. Ingress is more like google maps in walking directions mode, so I imagine that it does not include the same correction methods.
