has anyone tried using the d3d wrapper as described in http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42277354&postcount=29 ?

I don't have a surface, but i've been quite interested in getting one as the prices are < $200 now.

If the surface only had STEAM support I would have gotten it day 1.

Hi guys,

Currently my small company is planning to launch our own brand of smartphone which would be manufactured and marketed in China.

The only problem we're facing now is how do we create firmware updates for our smartphone users ?

As our company is small and none of us are developers.

If you know how, we can hire you too.

Thanks in advance for your kind replies.
[Acer Iconia A500] rezsoka:
I have a fully bricked Acer A500. It works only APX mode. It isn't rooted and there isn't USB debug...

I tried repartitioning with the Badblock (A501.bat) but it didn't work. I get an error message, when it tried to format the partition 2 (BCT): BCT write failed.

After that I tried A500 APX flasher. It didn' work too. Same error in the debug window.

After that I tried manually upload the bootloader, boot image, ...etc. The error message was same. (Downoad sucessfully. BCT write failed)

I tried to use the root-3.2.1-V4 DotNetDetecter.exe but the issue was same....

Of corse I have UID and SBK.

Does anybody have any idea?

I'm not understanding it!
[Acer Iconia A500] rezsoka:
solved

ISUE solved!

It was a hardware problem. The flash memory chip's solder was broken. I resoldered it. After that it works again!

Nice work m8, I think I can safely say, you're one of kind....I've not heard of anyone else attempting this fix:) u should edit the title to reflect yr tabs new found status...like mmc chip fault repaired...there are a couple of dozen folk i know of who would probably attempt this....dont spose u happen to have photos of said fix????
[Acer Iconia A500] zardoz99:
If I understand the A50x service manual correctly, the eMMC is a BGA chip. This is going to be a real hassle for anyone to work on that doesn't have a hot air repair station available.

Having spoken with Acer about my failed A501, they are not interested in a warranty repair, even though its only 14 months old. The EU 24 month warranty only applies if I can prove that the fault existed at time of purchase, which obviously I can't.

They want £55+ just to look at it and then presumably much more if I want it repaired. As it's a 64GB motherboard, the costs would be very high, so I am interested in a DIY repair. I have nothing to lose.

Does anyone have an ICS (4.0.3) EUU for the A501?

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] mkmonkey:
Hi all ,

Just got a brand new Xperia V from my mobile service provider . It is really nice and I wish to switch the whole system from my Neo V to the new V .

However , I've figure out that the only storage space for the program is about 3.8 GB , and I've got a 16 GB card directly removed from my Neo V , But most of the software will not read the backup content in my SD card (e.g. SMS backup , bookmark backup , etc) .

So , is there any solution to change the default storage location from the internal storage to the SD card ?

Thanks very much !

Regards,

Kurz
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] spida_singh:
You could try the following application

Root External 2 Internal Storage

or tell the app where the default path should be, most apps should provide this option.

[General Questions and Answers] jasechiu:
I've recently bought a Lenovo K860 from Bangalore, India. There were two issue.

1. After every SMS our service provider (TATA Docomo, India) sends a pop up message stating the charges for your last call/message. This message comes up with gibberish letters, completely UN-readable. I've called up Lenovo Customer Service and explained the problem to them. Now they are coming up with a patch to fix this issue.

2. Trying to send TEXT messages to another user is becoming a pain. When I try sending a text message, sometimes it just displays "Sending" and had to wait for a long time before it fails to send. When I try again to resend it, it eventually gets sent. Now this is happening quite frequent. I didn't face this problem when I had used the same sim card on any other phone.

Question: Is it a network problem?

Or is there a problem with my OS?

My guess would be.. it cannot be a network issue since I've tried using the same service provider on another phone. I think it would either be a software (OS) issue or settings. If someone can help me sort this out, I'd really be grateful and very much appreciated.

[Windows Phone 8s by HTC] funboy27:
So, i've received right now my new HTC 8S from Telecom Italia Mobile in substitution of my old jailbreaked iPhone 4.

So i want to obtain its best from this hardaware, is my first time i've a Windows Phone 8 Terminal and i want every root right and attribute to installa whatever i want.

What is the correct procedure to do this ?

It's sim operator locked, so i've followed the link cellunlocker.net and i use my IMEI to unlock the phone. I'ts works.

After that I've downloaded this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2094384 <-- I dont know if that is a modifie rom, that allow to run alternative store or homebrew software, there is no tescription, but, i've tried to flash my phone whit this, but it return an error, somhting like an error with CID. What's wrong ?

I know, i'm a noob, and my procedure it's uncorrect, but, were i can find a guide with the correct flux diagram to obtain best by my phone hardawre ?

Tankyou for fast reply.
[Windows Phone 8s by HTC] mooves:
Hi, I'm not sure if you've already managed to unlock your phone but here's what I did to unlock my two HTC 8S' locked to Telstra (Australia).

It took me a little bit to find out if the online unlocker sites were legitimate. The first one I tried which was legit but didn't have a code for my 8S was HTCSimUnlock.com. They offer a full refund (which I'm still waiting for) if the code doesn't work or if one is not available in their system.

I then tried cellunlocker.net, again they offered a full refund if it didn't work so I gave it a go. Success! :) Within 10 minutes of my order I received an email with the 8 digit unlock code which I entered and could then use my Vodafone SIM.

The part that sucks is that the first 8S died after trying to install an update. I got it replaced and was had to pay for another unlock code. Anyway. I'm happy to say it can be done.

I'm in the process of uploading a video of me unlocking the 8S but if you have a look on Youtube for unlocking HTC phones, the process is the same.

Simply the process is:

1. Order an unlock code using the IEMI on the phone or box.

2. Put in SIM from a carrier you want to use.

3. Power it on, it will prompt you enter the unlock code.

4. Enter the unlock code.

5. That's it enjoy!

Good luck!

Maybe Galaxy s3 phone owners are happy for their updated phones. But next year things will be different many people gived too much money for their phones like us but next year same problem they will say in here. So galaxy s3 owners please thing about that.

Easier said than done my friend. Updates should still rollout to us next year.. not sure about the Note but.. asking for source for one device and saying .. and we want source for THIS device too! ..is probably not gonna work in our favor.

I mean if we will be together we can change something. I know s3 will take updates that must be but if we wont push for updates, source codes thay will make habit. Maybe in future for marketing strategy they wont give update only source codes i dont know.

Hello,

I am pretty new on WP(came from WM6.5) and Rom Flashing.

Now I was able to see different stuff regarding my p4u(Orange) build version in Navifirm+.

Company network didnt let me download the stuff though. but my actual question is:

can i somehow flash new roms without "starting from Scratch" and basically force the phone to update to the new released WP version 8.0.10211.204?

Or do i have to wait till my carrier pushes the update? Should i flash a "stock" version to always get the push by nokia like with vanilla android builds?

Mate you are forgetting an important,essential difference ,although it is a sammy device the chip is developed by broadcom so it is broadcom whon is reponsible for such stuff.In our case our chip is exynos developed by sammy itself so it is sammy itself who.has to provide us with such stuff and not any 3rd party manufacture and as we know sammy are what they are.

This is the same issue that there is between international and usa galaxy s3 .International one uses exynos while the other uses Qualcomm chip

Hi all,

Got my nexus 4 last week - very impressed with it (then again (as my username says) i came from Sony X10/Arc land so a big improvement was easy!)

Having problems using handsfree on the phone - i'm using my existing handsfree cabled (3 bands on connector).

If i plug in the headset before making a call and dial someone, the call instantly ends and goes to google now

If i make the call and then plug in the headset, the quality is genuinely terrible.

Anyone else have any experience with this? Call quality without handsfree is genuinely perfect...

First of all....i have had a jawbone since the first model...love them...they worked great on GB and ICS on my galaxy S and all the roms i tried there...now i have the JAWBONE ERA.

Since i recieved my n4 from the original US shipping batch the bluetooth / headset combo has been very poor. I know this has been on here, but i don't seem to know how to search just the n4 forum on my phone.

The bluetooth audio stutters during almost all calls. It is not all the time, but more than half of the calls i make i have to turn it off. when it works...its perfect. The stutter makes it to where you can't tell for 3 seconds what someone is saying. Sometimes it is one time on the call...or it continues every few minutes stuttering for 3 seconds.

this happened on Stock, Stock rooted, Stock rooted but upgraded to 4.2.1, Paranoid Android with stock kernel and Franco kernel 10 thru 30, and now JellyBeer with franco (did not try jellybeer's kernel).

does anyone have a link to a thread in the forum that may help me learn more?

What can I do to properly diagnose and get this diagnosis data to the forum? I'd love to help fix this!
