[Microsoft Surface] トロワ:
i my self want to see a surface pro thread.

i am already buying a 64gb micro sdxc for it and when the page is live ill order the following

surface pro 120 GB

type cover (i think i might also order the touch cover just to try it out)

screen protector

the touch pro mouse

StarCraft ][ Heart of the swarm.
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
I just want to at least order the bloody thing....
[Microsoft Surface] Hardcore73:
I agree about a new thread for Surface Pro

I keep looking at the threads everyday and I still don't see a thread for the Surface Pro.

Help us out and set one up!
[Microsoft Surface] Kraize:
You probably won't see a surface pro section because it's not a mobile device. It runs the full Windows os unlike the devices on xda-dev (if you don't count the Linux ports)
[Microsoft Surface] StarLog:
Then why is there a RT section, is it because it is a arm cpu
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Is there an RT section? I see Win8 general, Win8 dev&hacking, and Surface (sans qualifiers).

With that said, the distinction between Win8 and Win RT that makes RT more of a "mobile" OS is much less about the CPU instruction set architecture than it is about the way that RT is locked down.
[Microsoft Surface] adiliyo:
it would make more sense to change this subforum name to windows RT. i wouldn't see a point to a surface pro subforum when it's just an x86 tablet. from a software standpoint it's nothing different from any other win8 computer.
[Android Apps and Games] ladiko:
As Tencent is not going to release an english version of the popular QQ Messenger, i made one on my own. Most of you might think "What the hell is QQ?" Yeah, it's one of the most popular messenger apps in the world and has more active users than ICQ and MSN / Live Messenger together (according to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_messaging#User_base) So why nobody (in the Western world) knows it? Because it's mostly used in mainland China, even Hongkongese or Taiwanese don't use it that much. So just think about it: If 50% of all inhabitants of China would use it, it would have even more users than people live in the European Union or in North America - but as not many people outside of China are using it (except they have connections to China), nobody cares or knows about it. That might also a reason why Tencent only released a version in simplified chinese. So here's the google translated version. i just decompiled it, threw the strings.xml and arrays.xml into the google translate toolkit and png-optimized+compiled+compressed+signed it again. it's the version 4.0.1build 1547 - should be the version you get on the Play Store as of the 29th January 2013. If you have a newer version, pm me the apk-file and i will translate it.

Ohh and again: It's *Google Translate*-translated - so don't blame me for the wording, at least it's not just a funny bunch of strokes :)

Chinese Version in the Play Store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tencent.mobileqq

Btw. i noticed it shows "Appid is invalid" for some seconds but works then.

edit:

seems like loggin in doesnt work anymore, so you need to do this:

* Install QQ from Play Store

* Login

* Backup with Titanium Backup

* Uninstall QQ

* Install QQ from this thread

* Restore "Only data" with Titanium Backup
[Android Apps and Games] v0ujiemq:
Will try this later. Thank you anyway but it shouldnt be a problem to find a native chinese speaker for a good translation if you publish the necessary words here. If you cant find a chinese speaking user here send me the text and I will forward it to a chinese friend.
[Android Apps and Games] tariq2kn:
This app contains malware and has affected over 600k phones in china. I read this yesterday. NQ has solution to this.
[Android Apps and Games] v0ujiemq:
You mean the original QQ or the translated QQ version he offer here?

Use the original QQ Android for over one year. If you switch of the location permission its pretty ok.
[Android Apps and Games] muhski:
Please don'r spread half true news!

http://en.nq.com/blog/

Here you can read what CAN happen and how to avoid it! As most of the people download QQ from the play store, the version is safe!

If this version here is safe or not I don't know because I didn't tried it yet.

Back to topic: I will be in China next month, so if you can't find somebody to translate it properly until that time, I will translate it with my girlfriend.

Shouldn't be much of a deal for a native speaker!

You should also send these translations to tencent, maybe they will use it :D

But I really don't know what their problem is, because they already released a very good translation of "WeChat", the chinese version of WhatsApp, that is pretty awesome! Much more functions and u can also use it to chat with your QQ accounts. Only reason why I still use QQ mobile is, that you can't check the online-status of QQ users if u youse WeChat... But beside this, WeChat is the better QQ (and made by the same guys!)
[Android Apps and Games] v0ujiemq:
Btw a translated qq version is not really necessary, the client dont have so much functions. Publishing some screenshots with with a explanation should be enough for the most people.

What I really dont like is that the client become more unstable in each new version. qq 2011 was perfect, the new qq is not reliable, always lose connection if the app is in the background.
[Android Apps and Games] muhski:
I can't share this opinion.

I only feel the old Version were more smooth because they did not use too many ressources of the phone. Are you sure you only have the connection issues with QQ? Maybe it's some ICS or JB related power-saving function?!
[Android Apps and Games] v0ujiemq:
Yes I'm sure. Maybe every second or third time I switch into the App I can see how the app connect that moment. Friends told me i was indicate as offline before. No problems with Skype or Facebook same moment.
[Android Apps and Games] ladiko:
Hello v0ujiemq,

thank you for the translation offer, but as you said - there are not many words to translate/understand and in general the translation is acceptable at least to use it.

"Publishing some screenshots with with a explanation should be enough for the most people." <-- That's what i wanted to avoid. Maybe i will offer a chinese+english-side-by-side version later to learn the words.

So i will just update it if there is a new version but beside that, i just leave it as it is. I just did it for my own cause i cant read chinese and it's ok for me. On the other hand i thought someone else might find it handy, so i offered it as it is. I'm not going to put more effort into it.
[Android Apps and Games] argh159:
hi, thx for the version.

sadly i cant login because im stuck at: verifing login.

could you do me / us a favor and post screenshots of the options ?

the rest of qq is more or less self explained.
[Android Apps and Games] ladiko:
What happens if you install the version from the play store, login and then install the english version on top without deleting any data?
[Android Apps and Games] argh159:
doesnt work.

error: app already installed.

"same appname - different signature"
[Android Apps and Games] ladiko:
Ok, you're right. The only thing that worked for me was:

* Install QQ from Play Store

* Login

* Backup with Titanium Backup

* Uninstall QQ

* Install QQ from this thread

* Restore "Only data" with Titanium Backup

But I am pretty sure i could normally login with the english version some days ago.
[Android Apps and Games] argh159:
works !

many thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] thommy5583:
Is it really working? Cause it always tells me appid invalid or something like that.

I is ok for a first time user to install this directly (I mean without going through the google play install and back etc.) ? I dont have anyone on friends list or any kind of QQ data.

OK I thought its better to follow instructions.. so did the same procedure.. but when I open titanium backup.. and try to restore it gives only 2 options.. Restore "App" "App+data" there is no "Data only" option. What do I do ?
[Android Apps and Games] ladiko:
trial + error.
[Android Apps and Games] shivaraman:

Good one

All done.. everything installed and data recovered.. but people dont receive messages from the App. Ultimately Its not working...

Status change works and all seems to be in place but the app does not send message

The new version of original QQ2013 which is available in google play (4.1.1) isn't working good for me. Very slowly and there is no icon in the status bar anymore. Anyone have a *.apk of the previous one?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AussieHusky:
I'm curious how launcher icons start to look at screen resolutions as high as the Sony Z (443PPI), the current android standards list extra high density screen icons at 320PPI (http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/icon_design_launcher.html) a long way off what we're now getting on the new crop of 5" 1080p phones.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ambroos:
Android supports XXHDPI too, which has a baseline density very close to the Xperia Z's 443 PPI.

Icons will mostly be upscaled. There are some apps that already have XXHDPI icons since the Nexus 10 uses those icons, but for others and for in-app graphics you'll probably just get XHDPI graphics upscaled. You won't notice the difference. The main quality increase of 443 PPI can be found in text rendering.

I read that you could change the search from bing to google? However I can't find it anywhere?

It's the only thing not making this update perfect. By the way I'm in uk and used the disconnect trick to update but only had 3 updates the last being 7.8 am I missing something?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Manneman32:
In Internet Explorer you can change it in browser settings. To change the physical "searchbutton" to search Google instead of Bing you need to hack your phone.
[Nokia Lumia 800] carrd:
How do u do it in ie there is no setting in settings?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Manneman32:
Open IE... press the three dots on the right to the adressfield and choose "settings". At the bottom of the settingspage you have the ability to change searchengine from Bing to Google

[Nokia Lumia 800] ibjaredu:
My Telus [Canada] 800 is 7.8 updated via Zune and it does not have this option. It may be because you are in Sweden... The E version of Windows 7 was required by the EU to give you the choice of web browser and this may be a similar situation.
[Nokia Lumia 800] setheyp:
I have the HTC Titan and live in netherlands....I dont have this option either. So frankly I think that it has to do with the phone.
[Droid 2 General] lcallahan7:
Still holding on to that Droid 2? Looking to root it, but it's hard because it was updated to 2.3.4? Well, good news for you! I've found a way to root the Droid 2 on 2.3.4 in seconds! All you have to do is:

1. Download SuperOneClick 2.2 and the Gingerbreak exploit files.

2. Extract SuperOneClick.

3. Go to the folder where that is installed.

4. Put that to the side and extract the Gingerbreak files.

5. Copy the Gingerbreak.c file.

6. Go to the SuperOneClick folder and open the Exploits folder. You should see two files, zergRush and psneuter.

7. Paste Gingerbreak.c here.

8. Connect your Droid 2 to your computer. Make sure it is connected to adb by opening command prompt and typing "adb devices" without the quotes. If you see a string of numbers/letters and device, then your phone is connected. If not, then make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone, and make sure you have the correct drivers installed on your computer.

9. After your phone is connected, open SuperOneClick.exe and click on the exploit drop-down list. It will be set at Auto by default. There will be four options, Auto, zergRush, psneuter, and the file you added, Gingerbreak.c.

10. Select Gingerbreak.c.

11. After that, just click root. The process will complete in seconds and then it will ask if you want to test if your phone was rooted properly.

12. Click yes, and a SuperUser request will appear on your phone if it is rooted.

13. Disconnect your phone and you're done!

[Droid 2 General] lcallahan7:
I restored my phone and tried this again to make sure it worked and it did. You may want to try using one of the other Gingerbreak files you downloaded, too. If this doesn't work, make sure your phone is connected and online. To check if it is online, open command prompt and type adb devices. It will show some numbers and then device if it is online, otherwise it will show the numbers and then offline. To fix it if it is offline, try rebooting your phone, rebooting your computer, or using a different cable.

Droid 2 to Cricket

First off, I am new here. Name is Dennis, but my nickname has always been Skeezix, "Skeeze" for short. If this post is in the wrong place, feel free to move it accordingly. I recieved my Droid to in a bricked state of mind. (the phone, not me) Now let me resurrect the dead. I found this forum via a google search for flashing a bricked droid. ezSBF/linux worked wonders. ;) 10 starz there!!Then I went to this link..

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881883&nocache=1

...to flash to Cricket. I felt it was too far above my head, as I had just gotten the phone awakened to GB 2.3.4. So I found this...

http://www.robpol86.com/index.php/Flashing_Motorola_Droid_to_Cricket

Real simple for a bumpkin like me. I followed the instructions to a "T". Which leads me to where I am now....(there are more things I've learned in my quest, but I'm not sure they are pertinent. ie: framaroot works and z4 doesn't as far as root goes.)

The present:

Droid works fine on wifi as far as internet goes. What I don't have is 1x or 3x when not on wifi. I can text, (but not pictures), I can call on the phone without wifi. I did change the prl to 35045 from the directed 42900, but nothing changed. I tried to access my apn setting via shortcut using bettercut, but the shortcut says apn app not installed on this phone. I found the app APN manager, which lets me remove, and edit apn, but still no luck. When I go to settings, about phone, status, all the changes are there, but under network, it says unknown.

I'm afraid to go any further for fear of bricking again and starting over without experienced guidance. "The stupid question is the one you don't ask, and you screw up." (My Dad) So here goes...

Do need to start over and try and install a new rom to fix this? or have I missed something simple? I can use the phone for now, so I can be patient for educated responses. I can give any more info if needed.

Stuck on step 11!!!

I'm new here -- I've searched all over for hours trying to find answers to root my phone and using different methods, but yours is the easiest to understand as I'm pretty computer illiterate and I have hard time understanding what other folks mean by things. I apologize in advanced for being long winded.

Trying to root my 2.3.4 LG Optimus Slider. Things I've done:

-downloaded and installed SDK bundle from the Android website as well as the Google USB drive

-followed all your instructions

-had some issues with typing "adb devices" into command prompt, kept getting: "ADB is Not Recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file"

-followed a tutorial from zack's tutorial's (not sure if links work here or how, but: http://zacktutorials.blogspot.com/2013/04/adb-is-not-recognized-as-internal-or.html) and got the same results that the blogger did (thought ADB issue was fixed)

-tried to root phone and got a message from SuperOneClick: *daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*

*daemon start successfully* and rooting process stops right there

-forums suggest there is an issue with the ADB (with the whole daemon thing) and the command prompt is now going back to the whole "not recognized as an internal or external command" spiel

I keep going around in circles here, uninstalling and reinstalling, trying new methods, and getting confused. I could really use some guidance please!!

Thanks

Root/Bootloader unlock not working on Xperia Ray Android 2.3.4

I basically want to root my Xperia Ray to upgrade it with a custom ROM but all the methods I have found keep failing! Is the problem with unlocking the bootloader?

The official procedure to upgrade my Xperia Ray from Android 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 keeps failing!

I have TWO Xperia Ray ST18i with Android 2.3.4 (build 4.0.2.A.062) which have manufacture date codes 11W37 and 12W03 (about 2.5 years old). Both were on Orange and are now officially SIM unlocked but it says “Bootloader unlock allowed: No”, which means that Sony’s official bootloader unlocker will not work.

Sony has officially released Android 4.04 (build 4.1.B.0.587) for Xperia Ray, but both the latest download of Sony Updater and also its PC Companion keep saying it has the latest software and have only allowed me to re-install 2.3.4 each time!

I have tried SuperOneClick 2.3.3, Gingerbreak, Easy Rooting Toolkit 4.0, and Flashtool 0.9.16.1 but I can’t get them to work either. Am I doing something wrong or is there some clever way to unlock the bootloader?
