[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hosamhoz:
I have a Vietnamese manufactured Samsung Galaxy SII and I noticed that the battery drains really fast even though I have no background apps running, Wifi, 3G, Sync off and brightness minimum so I started to think the guy at the store swapped the original genuine battery with a cheaper one when I compared my battery with two friends who has the same phone and found out that theirs say "fabriqued en Vietnam" while mine says "Fabrique en China" So I want to know if there is any difference, and if my battery is a false one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wishmas7er:
well check the mAh of the battery

1650 original

anyway first check your connection to the operator network, could be a drain (so you might just have to flash another radio)

Read this article.

only when the phone is new after you get a replacement phone it can be unlocked by the carrier still.

You can also still purchase unlocked phones directly too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
That still is too restrictive look how at&to has been about unlock codes for the skyrocket. The government is catering to big businesses again mainly because of their lack of understanding. You may be OK with it but once I own a device who the **** are you to tell me what I can and can't do to a device its just like cars man.

I just spoke to at&t Rep yesterday and they were not knowing anything about this.

Has anyone else talked with their carriers?

It's hard at times to shell out 400 or 500 dollars initially although overall you'll be spending more on carrier plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
My thing is if you enact this law then carriers should be forced to offer the unlock code if bought outright at full price or after the price of the phone has been paid through your bills allowing people the option to terminate their service.

Much agreed....

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 PM ----------

Bit of clarification, unlocking without carrier permission is illegal. Unlocking by the carrier is not.

I guess the carriers would like to make more money and hold you hostage for the 2 yr contract. It's unfortunate, but this is reality of capitalism and big businesses.

I have a newer outlook on this now and I would have to agree to purchase unlocked device... Rather then buying phones that are discounted.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tjsooley:
and only new phones that are carrier subsidized. If you pay full price for a carrier phone off contract they will still legally give you the unlock code or once you upgrade your phone after the 2 year mark. this also still doesn't effect factory unlocked phones like the SGS3 international and nexus 4 directly from google.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kt-Froggy:
...all the while here in Canada it's just the opposite. Just read the news yesterday that CRTC is pushing for a new code for carriers, with more provisions for customer protection. And the carriers "are cooperating". Among the things to be included are requirements to clearly spell out unlocking fees in advance, and make it a rule to unlock phones on contract after 30 days. But the most interesting thing is that carriers will be required to unlock phones not on contract at no charge. Meaning that if you buy a locked phone off someone, the carrier will have to unlock it for you for free.

Glad I live in Canada... :)

[HTC One S] lieve:
I dropped my brand new HTC One S in the toilet when flushing (yep) but was able to quickly get it out. Dried it off and put it in a bag of rice for 36 hours. I did not remove the battery though since it's not removable.

The phone still works, except the screen is green. In the beginning, it stayed green for about 5 to 10 seconds and then the color slowly turned back to normal. Now it just stays green...

Is there something I can do about this? What exactly could be causing this that I could replace? The entire screen? Or maybe just a connector?

Would placing it back in the rice for a longer period of time help?

HTC won't repair it because of the water damage...

Thanks!!

Lieve
[HTC One S] Mr.Nigma...:
Just put it in a bag of salt leave it for two days as salt is a very good absorber... or you can also use silica gel... If you want fast results put it into the oven in 50 degree celsius leave the door open and put the oven in the mode that it blows air..
[HTC One S] beats4x:
In the oven huh? Have you tested this method? Cause if it works fast like you say that's a pretty good alternative to a bag of rice.

[HTC One S] Mr.Nigma...:
yes i have tested it with my "ex" Lg Optimus 3d! but in the oven with low temperature (50degC) and the door open i left it there for two hours! and it was ok! so the case is: what type of oven do you have?? :PP
[HTC One S] Spastic909:
I dropped mine in toilet one..luckily before I handled my business. When I tried to make a call people said I sounded like I was under water lol. After leaving it in a bag of rice for a few hours it was fine. Possibly because I had a case in it. Took it out of toilet within 2 seconds and immediately wiped it off. Didn't put it in rice for about an hour though
[HTC One S] Goatshocker:
I would disassemble it and clean each part individually. There might be some dust that have clogged up and is short-circuting something.

That was the case with my laptop which I spilled a glass of water over (0.5l).

[General Questions and Answers] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Your best way to get traffic from this site is to have your site linked in your signature as well as being an active user. By active user I mean someone with genuine answers, questions or development related content. People will get to know you and likely follow on to your site.

You'd be better off for advertising using Google+ or Facebook and gaining users via that route, far easier and quicker at gaining a user base there (included Facebook tough it is not as useful any longer due to the targeted posts, I know longer use it myself either).
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Simple answer is no. Had you read the rules you would have known that you can not advertise here.

​

Hey! Thanks for checking in! I came up with an idea for a product that I think will be a great addition to this community. My idea involves producing hardware for specific Android tablets and smartphones to increase their storage capacity, this device is currently not on the market anywhere in the world. Their is a need in the market that is not being filled, the truth is from ios to android everyone wants more storage for their mobile devices.

This device would be low profile and connect seamlessly to your smartphone or tablet. Everyone knows you can buy an otg cable for extra storage or purchase the Kingston Wi‑Drive, but who wants to lug around a wireless hard drive the same size of your already large smartphone or worse have an otg cable dangling around to fall out or break your micro USB port.

My invention will allow for flexibility and mobility, you can workout or even go jogging without the use of a flimsy otg cable or an unnecessary WiFi hard drive that has a limited battery capacity. One of my biggest achievements is allowing you to have all of this tech with a very small footprint that connects seamlessly with your target device. Files are stored locally via SD or microSD without the use of cloud storage (Cloud storage can be your worst enemy if your not on a unlimited data plan). All of your movies, music and pictures will be available on the fly for local commutes or long distance traveling.

With the rise of HD content and smartphones being effective laptop replacements, having more storage has become essential. My biggest concern is to make sure this product if affordable, and in doing so i will not include any additional storage due to high cost flash memory. I feel its more beneficial to the end user to use his or her already owned SD or microSD card, plus you can find amazing deals on SD cards just about anywhere in the market.

Device details:

- Maximum Storage capacity of 256GB not including your internal storage

(Depending on your device you can can max out your storage capacity to 384GB).

- Change SD or microSD on the fly (SD SDHC SDXC microSD microSDHC microSDXC)

- Unit will allow for flexibility and mobility

- All your data will be stored locally

Other supported products in the future:

- Samsung Galaxy nexus

- Nexus 7

- Nexus 10

- Samsung Galaxy S II

- Samsung Galaxy Note

- Samsung Galaxy Note II

- Droid Razr

More Devices to come...

I want to start an open discussion about the future of this device, please leave your feedback and any insights you have. This product will be in the market in 3 months time starting with the Samsung Galaxy S III for all carriers.

All feedback is greatly appreciated to bring this product to market, I wanna personally thank everyone who helps with this exciting process!
[Android General] DanceOff:
Good idea but how will you give its start...
[Android General] Blakroc:
I will have the first fully functional prototype ready to go in one month. I will fund the first 50 to 100 production units myself. I feel the demand will be very high, so i will look at taking donation along with investors and possibly a crowd funding campaign with Kickstarter.
[Android General] DanceOff:
what would be the cost of making it?
[Android General] Blakroc:
Not including labor, between 20 to 35 USD. My biggest concern is to make sure this product if affordable, and in doing so i will not include any storage with this product due to high cost (I feel if i added my own storage the cost of this unit would be from 70 to 100 USD). I feel its more beneficial to the end user to use his or her already owned SD or MicroSD card, plus you can find amazing deals on SD cards just about anywhere in the market.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoober:
Hello to All

I want to Buy the latest version of the Archos Video Player (V7.1.3) from the Google Play Store for my Archos 101G9 Turbo 250GB Hard Drive Tablet. Unfortunately, Google Play Store tells me that "This item is not compatible with your device". Google Play Store states that it is compatible with my Galaxy Note phone however.

I know my Archos has the "Media Center" (looks similar to Archos Video Player but an older version I guess) installed by default. I really want to buy the latest version.

I have made the following modifications to my tablet:

Installed a 512GB Samsung SSD

Installed the unofficial SDE

Installed the Android 4.0.4 Firmware 4.0.26 with Root access.

I cannot believe that Archos software is not compatible with Archos Hardware. Could it be due to the modifications I have made?

Can anybody help?

Thanks

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoober:
Thanks for your answer but it is a no go. Archos Video (TI) - this application is only for Archos A101XS with JellyBean firmware. It won't install on my Archos 101G9.

Oh well...I guess Google/Archos do not want my money :(

Thanks Anyway.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 55mls:
The one you were looking would be the Archos Video Player (SA) which is meant for use on OTHER devices (not for any Archos devices).

There are 2 other ones also:

The Archos Video Player (TI) which is ONLY for the Archos 101XS with Jelly Bean firmware.

The Archos Video Player (RK) which is ONLY for the Archos 80XS and the Archos GamePad.

There is nothing new or improved in any of them. All they are is reworked versions of the exact same one that is already in the Archos 4.0.26 firmware upgrade for the 80 G9 and 101 G9 tablets. So, even if you could get one of these and some manage to get it to install, you would not be gaining anything (other than shelling out $4.99 for something you already have on your G9 tablet).
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shoober:
Like you say, if there is nothing new in the latest version then there is no point wasting money on it. I will try a few free versions and then buy the one I like.

Thanks for the info.

Is it possible for me to turn a cheap android phone into either a wifi drive or a wireless hotspot, i know its possible through the usual setting in android (turning it into a hotspot) im not a noob, but i was wondering if anyone is particularly good at writing operating systems and if they could guide me into writing one that is just a wifi hotspot without any of the phone capabilities (i.e. texting and calling), and if the same is possible for turning it into a wifi drive

Couldn't you just delete all the other applications?

You can delete almost everything. I think this would be the easiest way to be honest, especially if using titanium backup, at least you can experiment with what you can remove, if you break something, restore it back.

i think its looking like the best option, I'm going to look into writing some code that makes the chosen app run constantly and then once ive deleted all the apps, just turn that into a ROM, looks like I'm going to have to learn some more javascript...

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

You are over engineering this.

You can make a specific app stay on by making it a never kill priority. You can also set it up to auto start on boot so its always on' even if you get a random reboot.

Making a new ROM with just 1 app is completely unnecessary. Just remove everything through titanium that isn't absolutely required to make the device boot and stay active.
