DRM gets nuked because they are allowing you access to stuff you aren't supposed to be able to change. Breaking the MPAA DRM rules, I'm sure. I'm not sure which app(s) it affects but Netflix still works.

You really have no clue at all what DRM is all about, and therefor very likely also have no clue as to why most devices now use MTP instead of just connecting as a mass storage device (like a USB thumb drive or external USB hard drive).

"Streaming" services for music or videos (like Netflix or Hulu) have no reason to ever use DRM simply because the video/music is never kept stored on the device. Services that actually do let you download and keep any video/music on your device (your tablet or your computer) use DRM to prevent you from being able to copy that to other un-authorized devices... and that's where that horrible Microsoft MTP crap starts coming into things as a way to prevent syncing or copying things from one device (computer to computer, computer to phone or tablet, or between devices).

Say you purchased and downloaded a bunch of music files from say Rhapsody paying (actually renting it) per month on your computer. To be able to play that on any other device requires that it can use MTP to not only transfer the music file, but also does sever other things also. It checks the date/time and how long it should still be playable and double checks and sets that stuff up on the device you are syncing to.

If you do not connect the device before the (rental) month payment is made the device (and the computer it came from) will not longer be able to play it. Simply installing SDE should NOT have anything to do with any of the DRM stuff, nor should anything with 'rooting' a device. It's rather clear (if you understand the how's and why's of things) that Archos simply decided to nuke DRM as a way to make it less desirable to install their SDE (and/or any 'experimental' or 'rooted' firmware).

I have no intention of ever installing the 'official' Archos SDE (which they don't support anyway) just to find out how many more things they may have screwed up (they've don't bad enough screwing my tablets up with the worthless crappy 4.0.2x firmware updates as it is). I'm totally happy with the 'UN-official' SDE that I've been using. Unless somebody can tell me any real advantage to using the 'official' SDE...well, I just don't see any reason to mess with it (at least not on my end).

Hi I do have HTC Desire with stock rom 2.3

Problem is that for about last 2 -3 weeks phone keep freezes , and does not react to POWER button, or any other action, till I remove battery. When I put battery back it does not turn on.

It even does not go into bootloader.

When I remove battery again and plug charger , there is led is on just like with normal charging , but after when I push power button led is off and phone does not turn on.

Phone freezes when I do the phone call, use the web, wifi marker, gallery, , when booting on HTC logo, etc.

I thought it was the problem with android system, so I install revolutionary and CM7.2 , but I even had problem in bootloadre -> recovery / revolutionary. Phone keep freezing when system is not loaded yet. But I manage to install CM7.2 with success but phone still keep freezing when using the phone, on loading CM7.2 system, on HTC logo, in menu settings, in market with wifi, etc.

After freeze I remove battery and put it back and phone does not turn on, after 1h it starts up normal , but it get freeze again Sad

When I remove battery SD card slot and SIM card slot is little bit warmer.

What might be the problem ?

Please help, any tips or advices ?

Is it a PVT1 by any chance? Your phone is overheating. Try keeping it in the freezer for 10 minutes once in a while.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stmartin82:
Hi, thanks for replay.

What it is this "PVT1" ?

If my phone is overheating is it problem with hardware some how ? mainboard , or battery ? Any tip how to resolve it ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Boot in hboot ( while powered off, press and hold the power+voldown buttons until a white screen appeares) What pvt does it say at the top?

You may be having a motherboard problem, and PVT1's are known for overheating issues. Only way is to replace your motherboard.

I have put phone into fridge for few minutes and phone has started with CM7.2 but after one minute has freeze back again and does not want to start up.

But I have take out battery for about 1 minute and put back and wait another minute and it start up, but freeze after when system is loading or when system is loaded when I try to access menu or what ever.

I have notice that touch screen is warmer on the same level where SD cars and sim card slots are.

I think it behaves just like PC when CPU is overheating.

Is it the battery that might cause this overheating ?

If so I will try to look for other new battery.

I don't know if it works but I don't have any other ideas.

I am still open for any tips or advices. Please help.

Thanks for info, will call service and try to get more details about it.

One more thing, when my phone freezes and after it gets back running its date is reset to 06.01.1980 and time to 00:00

I have put it into a fridge for about 20-30 minutes and it is still running it is over 1h.

Is there anything else I could try out to fix the issue ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grokit:
I have a strange SMS related error. Perhaps someone knows a fix?

I receive SMS from a House Alarm device. That device connects to the mobile phone provider via modem and sends SMS with the UCP protocol to my Galaxy S3. I do receive the SMS, but it only appears in the pulldown/notification area (similar to a flash SMS).

When I click on the message in the notification area, I am ending up in the active SMS application which is empty.

I am usually using Handcent, but the effect is identical if I deinstall Handcent and/or make the stock messaging app the default again.

The S3 will alert me again with the same SMS message after a while, depending on the reminder setup. Anyway, even if I cannot see the SMS messages on the mobile, they are received. And I can actually access them with the PC application MyPhoneExplorer. The SMS properties there show me that the SMS message does not have a sender address. That is the only thing which makes it different from other SMS.

Any other SMS sent to my S3 is received normally.

If the House Alarm device sends SMS to any other mobile, it arrives as normal SMS. If I move my SIM card to another phone (I tried another stock SGS3) it works as expected as well.

So I must assume that there is a setting in my phone which makes SMS from Unknown Senders behave strangely on my phone.

Anyone have an idea?

or maybe if were lucky in a year or 2 they will, by then...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakorres:
Hello and please let me give my personal experience.

I think it is a matter of modem.

It depends on country/carrier.

I had the same problem exactly, I flashed a XXLQ6 modem [even though it is for 4.0.4 firmware - I don't know if I did something dangerous for my phone, I am a newbie], signal is much better and battery lasts longer.

3G - H - H+ : smooth and stable internet browsing with the new modem.

My country is Greece . Carrier is COSMOTE. Stock Samsung XXLS8 firmware. PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel v4.00-b39 from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1877270

I hope I was helpful with my 1st post here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plod72:
Yes the modem is one of the possible problems you can have and flashing a modem that works better for your area is the best option if the stock one does not work well as you have done.

The OP says nothing is using his battery but yet the battery goes flat so it is not possible to help with that as something is draining the battery else it would not go flat unless the battery is faulty but then it would not last for any ROM.

I use XXLQ6 modem as well

Congrats on the 1st post...

[General Questions and Answers] tangys:
Anybody knows how to root this? bin4ry method did not work.
[General Questions and Answers] tangys:
Hi everyone,

I found these instructions for rooting the Lenovo S686 from Chinese forums, you can try and see if it works. Below are the instructions which I translate from Chinese.

You need to install a 3rd party recovery, because S686’s original recovery cannot install unsigned update.zip. There are 2 kinds of update.zip, smaller one, about 1-2MB, is for obtaining root. The bigger one is for flashing the entire system. There is no 3rd party recovery for S686, but after looking at some other models’ recovery, I think we can use A765E recovery.

Turn on USB debugging. Connect USB wire. For desktop PCs, it is better to use the back USB port.

Download this: ht tp://pan [dot] baidu [dot] com/share [slash] link?shareid=415868&uk=4130114971

After uncompressing, you will get 2 files, update.zip and Lenovo_A765E_OneKeyTools.exe. Do not uncompress the update.zip. Just put it on the TF card.

Make sure the drivers are installed. Most of the time, if it doesn’t work, it is because of driver problems. You can check whether drivers are properly installed by going to Device Manager.

Installing fastboot driver: without disconnecting USB wire, turn off phone, take out the battery. While pressing ON and VOL -, connect USB wire. Most likely fastboot driver will install automatically.

Run 刷入中文Recovery (Chinese CWM recovery). Phone will reboot 3 times.

Entering recovery mode: Turn on the phone. Red LED will light up, before it goes off, press VOL + and -, hold until Lenovo logo appears. If you see Android recovery, it means the above steps did not work. If you see Chinese CWM recovery, flash in the update.zip that you put onto the TF card.

After this post on the Chinese forums, there were many people saying it works, and many people saying it does not work. I (tangys) could not get it to work with my S686. So either I am an idiot, or the guy who wrote the original post is an idiot. So please try it and post back here whether it works for you or not. Thanks.

hi.from where i can find kernel or some ROM for lenovo s686.thanks
[General Questions and Answers] shuttlefan:
This following method worked for me. Got ride of the bloatware that Lenovo put on there.

got the files from

www lenovohome net/thread-137736-1-1.html

some detailed instructions to setup here

lenovo zol com cn/177/1763_1767961.html

I'm a noob at rooting/changing firmware so took some extra time.

Need to setup the ADB drivers. This was slightly involved as the drivers from the phone ITSELF showed up as not properly signed. So I had to go and turn off the win8.1 check to get it properly installed. You end up with Lenovo ADB Device in device mgr and a few other Lenovo items.

Basically, there's an exe that you run (name has chinese char in it.. so it may look strange). It's an automated CWM installer. My version now shows CWM 6.0.1.5. All the text in there is in chinese.

Lastly, you flash in the update_v2.zip and when done, you get a root enabled , bloatware removed CYANOGENMOD system.

One note: when done flashing and you choose reboot, there is actually a prompt for you to "repair root". I've found that you must say yes at this point. Otherwise, root is not working when rebooted. You'll have to repair root later.

That's the good side. Now the bad side:

This phone only has 3 keys (pwr, vol+ / -) so there's currently no way to get menu button.

There is also no store in the version flashed....no sure how to install any apps

Need to resolve these issues.

This is looking like it’s going to be a great device; this just may be the next big thing. Hopefully we will know a little bit more soon. As soon as I can get the device in my hands, I will post my review of the Find 5. I have been in contact with Oppo about receiving the Find 5, and have received a very positive response from them. Hopefully I will be able to give you more information soon. The device is packed with the latest and greatest hardware, but we all know that the hardware alone will not make a good/great phone. I think that we as a community need answers to some very important questions, and I plan to get as much info as I can answered for you. I know that the community has a lot of questions about the device, but please be patient. This might take a few days but I will update the post as soon as I can get my hands on it so I can make a complete thorough review.

I am working to get the answers to a lot of the questions that a lot of us would like to know before we consider to purchase this device. Such as the following questions which I have asked Oppo are the following.

1. The first and very important question is how open is the Oppo Find 5 going to be to the community and its developers?

2. Will Oppo release the source codes, and if so will it be in a timely manner?

3. Will you have an unlockable or unlocked bootloader?

4. Is Oppo going to release up to date software and push it out in a timely manner?

I will also put a video on YouTube with a detailed review of the device including its software and hardware abilities. Stay tuned because I will post a link as soon as possible for the review. Hopefully Oppo will have the device sent out to me so soon as I know that a lot of you are interested.
