[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cacoso:
Hello!

I have been looking for it some time and I couldn't find anything specific.

I know that is not possible switch between 2G and 3G in a stock ROM except from Settings.

But I also know that some CyanogenMOD have a button than can switch in the status bar.

Why isn't possible switch between 2G and 3G using a widget or an app (even being root!)? Why is not possible emulate the Settings button? Is not possible even recompiling some parts of Android (and making an apk or something to install via Recovery)?

I know the short answer "because Google doesn't allow it", but I'm looking for a technical one.

Thank-you very much.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigSamE:
Thats a rather advanced feature, and most stock ROM's are set up for noobs. They dont put that feature in there because they dont expect the majority of users to use it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cacoso:
So, is it possible to make a custom STOCK rom that allows a widget or a program (like Tasker) to switch between 2G/3G?

Where could I find more information about this topic?

Thank-you very much for your answer and your time.

[Sony Tablet S] EeJay:
Is anyone working on a way to root release 6b?

I would do it myself but I wouldnt have a clue where to begin xD

I miss root because it used to allow me to connect my ps3 pad to the tablet using the sixaxis app which was a huge improvement to the tablet (gaming-wise)
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Your signature says "Xperia Tablet S (UK) Rooted (Release 6)", so you should be able to install prerooted 4.0.3r6b by using Condi's S.onyTablet.S [FLASHER] tool.
[Sony Tablet S] EeJay:
Sorry, I havent updated my signature since I last updated my tablet.. I dont actually have root access on it :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
I've just bought a used HTC Desire on eBay. I've tried to connect it to all of the three (!) wireless access points in my house, and it won't connect to any of them. It gets as far as trying to obtain an IP address, but then gives up after a couple of minutes and disconnects.

The routers/access points are:

- Draytek Vigor 2920n

- Buffalo WHR-G54S (running Tomato)

- Belkin Play Max N600 F7D4401

I've tried a factory reset on the phone and it made no difference. It's running stock (as far as I know) Android v2.2.2, and is locked to the Three network.

Can anyone suggest anything?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sywats:
Myn does that sometimes, switch the wifi box off and on that works for me

What, you mean all 3 of them??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terpi74:
Maybe you should try to change the channel in router settings...example for channel 4 or 5.I have the same problem few months ago and for mw it works
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
I already have a spread of channels - the 3 routers are on Channels 4,6 and 10. If the channel were the problem presumably the phone wouldn't see the access point in the first place??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sywats:
Might b a problem with the phone,try connecting to a wifi hot spot c if that works
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infozerich:
Hi itm,

Can you provide details such as what ROM, Recovery and Radio you are currently using on your HTC Desire? The post is framed around networking so I will be focusing on that. However, it is possible that the issue is with the smartphone. Can other wireless devices on your network connect to the router? Some ROMs may be missing critical drivers or perhaps it simply does not support the configuration you have on your router/wireless access point (WAP).

Also, being able to detect the wireless SSIDs being broadcast does not mean that the problem does not reside with the smartphone. If it cannot perform a handshake with the WAP then the problem could be because the HTC Desire does not support the configuration of the router.

Suggestions from most likely to most unlikely and the decision to change.

1. Human error when inputting passphase

Check your wireless passphrase is correct when inputting it in your smartphone or temporarily set it to a passphrase that you can easily type in to rule this out.

2. Passphrase is too long or uses unsupported characters.

Try using an alphanumeric passphrase and make sure it is only 63 characters or less.

3. Using a supported wireless encryption (router side).

Try setting the wireless authentication algorithm to WPA2, WPA and WEP and unencrypted (last resort).

As you are running the Tomato firmware, only set it to WPA2 and not with TKIP (unsupported in official build).

4. Problems with DHCP settings

Sometimes the smartphone may be unable to obtain an IP address from the DHCP Server, so setting a static IP addresses is a workaround.

Try setting a static IP address by going to the WIFI screen in Settings and long-press on your Wifi SSID (name), select modify and setup a static IP address. It should be within the IP Address subnet on your WAP, e.g. if your wlan0 is broadcasting on 192.168.12.0/255.255.255.255, setting a static IP Address 192.168.12.5 will work, but 192.168.1.5 will fail.

If there is no 'modify' option, press the Menu button and select Advanced. If that option does not exist, select Other Network and manually input your wireless settings.

5. Check the signal strength on your smartphone. A reasonably acceptable range is an RSSI of around 60 for wireless. Are you moving to areas with poor reception or where there is interference? For example, a running microwave or other electronic equipment running within the same wireless frequency will cause problems; 2.4GHz, 5 GHz.

6. If you are using wireless-N, that is 802.11n (full or draft), try using 802.11g or 802.11b instead.

7. Try disabling mobile data and attempt to connect via WIFI again.

8. If all else fails, I would be flashing another ROM. I ran into a similar problem once, and flashing another ROM allowed me to connect to my WAP. Turns out it was an issue with the kernel, though.

On a possibly related note, why not upgrade to Gingerbread? It has better power management and there is an official release by HTC if you are wary of developer ROMs.

I rooted my acer a500 using Skrilax Cz bootloader v8 and CM10-flex v6 rev 2.3. I also installed the gapps apk that was recomended. Everything seems to work except when I try to open google by taping the search bar on the main screen or the google icon is the apps area, the program starts, loads a couple of images and then shuts returning to main screen. this happens everytime. I have wiped data, cashe and have tried updating from the market. interesting enough when I tap the Browser button (not google) everything runs fine. Any ideas or tips I could try would be appreciated.

OK so here goes..

Butter fingers here was getting my phone from my pocket and I didn't have full grip of it and it flew out of my hand on the floor and the screen smashed. No problem I thought i 'll just phone the local places to get it sorted... No! Both places have said they won't touch the one x screen for post fix problems. Is this a general thing? Are the screens and lcd's out in the wild inferior?

Anyone else had similar issues with repair places?

Does anyone know how much HTC charge for the work?

Sent from my arse crack.
[HTC One X] androidino95:
They wont touch it because hox screens suck, i had mine replaced 3 times in htc repair centre:

1) ripple, loose screen, dead pixel

2) ripple, yellow spot, light bleed

3) ripple, wont recognize touch until tou press it harder

3 screens!

See? It would cost THEM more money to really fix it than it would cost you to pay for the repair.

And.. my hox is on repair for 4th time now, ive had this phone since july 2012, ive used it for maybe.. 2 weeks in total? BYE BYE htc

[HTC One X] BlueSingA:
HTC repair centers or shops that are accredited by HTC is your best bet anyway.. repairing it locally comes with the risk of them having it replaced with the chinese screen which is significantly worse, or even the SLCD1.

androidino - Not sure but I think it's 28 days after purchase that you can replace the device instead of messing around with repairs, effortlessly, you just say the word.
[HTC One X] ace9988:
lol this might be the reason why insurance just gave me a new one instead of fixing the old one
[HTC One X] XxVcVxX:
Because the digitizer and the LCD are stuck together, and nobody can really seperate them.

[HTC One X] mando508:
My local repair shops won't touch this phone too. They say it's way to complicated and expensive phone + it's hard to get genuine parts. You want it repaired - pay htc if your warranty don't cover the issue.

There has to be a certain amount of dead pixels in a panel to make use of the warranty.

I'm not sure about the Nexus 4, but i guess that 6 dead pixels should be enough to RMA it.

[General Questions and Answers] g4illou:
Based on what I experience right now (flashed leaked jb kernel) I'd say that you can't but maybe it depends on phones and roms.
[General Questions and Answers] RCantw3ll:
No ICS and JB Kenels are different and thus need to be specific to the Android version you are using. The case is slightly different with the verizon GNex on 4.2.2. They are still having to use 4.2.1 blobs since the device tree hasnt been updated with 4.2.2 blobs yet. This makes it to where most ROMs will still use 4.2.1 Kernels with the exception of the GSM OTA Port to the VWZ Gnex until the device trees are fully updated (assumign that happens). Cheers!

Thanks for sharing!

"The phone doesn’t have a home button, a slider-based lock screen, a "settings" tile, or an app switcher toggle. Instead, a user accesses these functions by swiping various edges of the screen."

Reminds me a lot of the BB10 gestures. Did anyone have a look on mashable where they gave 10 people a BB10 to use to figure out very basic things like unlocking and finding apps?

Let's just say the UX may take some getting used to, that being said if the value proposition is there I think people will be willing to go the extra mile for a new experience.

[General Questions and Answers] Kornelia:
Hi,

I wonder whether anybody can help me with my Sony Xperia Go, because I habe nothing but problems...

I have recently both two of them (one for me, one for my husband) from O2 shop in UK. We are O2 customers for over 6 years now. We usually use our phones in Poland twice a year (after unlocking sim first).

Now the problem starts... I can't unlock new phones anywhere.

I've tried to get a code online first, without success. Then, tried to get it from my carrier, O2 send email back saying I have to wait 12 months, before they supply me with unlocking code.

Then, I got in touch with their technical support, they promised to send me codes, but again, I got email back saying "wait 12 months...."

Not quite fair O2, not quite fair...

Then, I've tried Sony Tech Support, but they said it's nothing to do with them, and I need to contact O2.

I'm a bit fed up now...

Is there anybody who could help me unlocking them phones?

I have searched the forum, trying to find the answer, but coudn't get it either.

Thanks a lot to anybody who would try to help...

PS. Sorry for my english!

This is a security feature.

If it wasn't there you could have got an error or even though it restored normally you would have a soft bricked phone.

Md5 mismatch means that the backup is corrupted. I don't think it can be helped in any way.

This is common issue, particularly if you have moved /rename folder

Sometime it happens without any reason

Just to note if your backup is corrupted it may restore corrupt data,
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamso:
With a root explorer, go to the backup folder of clockworkmod. Then in your backup folder you have to delete file named nandroid.md5 which already contains entries and create a new empty one with the same name. Then you can restore your backup without md5sum checking.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rabydanimal:
I wanted to try an AKOP ROM or two on my completely stock, never rooted Note 2 running the OTA UCALK7 update. I followed the guide here (flash the SU injected stock UCALJ2 image) to root and now my note gets stuck at the Samsung logo. I have tried the following:

Downloaded the completely stock UCALJ2 unrooted image and flashed via ODIN.

Tried flashing both stock and rooted ROMs on another computer using the stock USB cable.

Flashed CWM touch via ODIN after flashing rooted UCALJ2 image, it can boot to CWM but fails miserably most likely to the lack of root.

My guess is it's bricked because sammy closed the root hole in the UCALK7 update and flashing back to rooted UCALJ2 isn't enough to bypass the patched exploit. Is there an ODIN flashable complete UCALK7 image that I can try (I've looked to no end, all I can find are rooted zips flashable via CWM) or am I really up the creek?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shakabra:
Pull the battery.

Hold the Center Home Button + Vol Down + Power

Slide the battery in.

If you do this right you can get into odin before the Samsung logo. I just had the same problem because I flashed the wrong recovery. It worked for me.

Thanks but I can get into Odin and flash the stock ROM just fine. It then reboots and gets stuck at the Samsung logo.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
It's really simple..download firmware from Sammobile.com flash it in Odin.. u might get stuck on the Samsung screen, if that happens factory reset. Make sure your downloading right file...u r now messing with Odin and it doesn't forgive
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rabydanimal:
I know what you're saying, I'm definitely using the right file and process. I'm a pretty seasoned veteran when it comes to rooting/odin/RSD/fastboot, etc. I've run custom ROMs on dozens of phones since the G1. What's happening to me is apparently not a common failure with the note 2 or GS3. Is there a PIT file available for the AT&T Note 2? I see one for the Verizon Note 2 but I wouldn't dare try to flash that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
There is a pit file around but I really don't think it's that.

And also just checking don't mean to insult ur intelligence but if u are using Odin it will be a .tar, if it's a recovery its I .zip
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rabydanimal:
Yeah, it's a tar file I'm flashing through Odin, got it from SamsungUpdates: Samsung-Updates.com-SGH-I317_ATT_1_20121005095854_bpaaavv07o.

I also tried flashing the stock ROM in deodex'd zip form after I got a custom recovery on there, still no dice. The non-functioning modem and lack of proper root/storage affects both Sammy and CM/AKOP based ROMs. I don't know about the modem part but I've seen weird things like this when the NAND starts going bad and things written to it don't "stick." I don't think that's the case here since it's only on its 4th or 5th flash. More than likely the latter problem is a file system issue. I have no idea about the radio.

I'm going to try and exchange it tomorrow. At least I got the flash count cleared and I'm back on a stock ROM (with the same problems).
