[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nidhish91:
You surely know nothing about One Alliance protocol followed by all the companies who use Android OS for their cell.

Its a guideline stated by Google that OEM must support a device that they bring out for 18 months since the time of release.

Now this is a very good guideline as it helps us sort good brands from stupid brands..for eg- motorola

Also google cant force any company to release updates. The company is at fault if it doesnt and they are responsible for getting a bad name then.

As a user who uses both Apple and Android (Samsung) devices, I find that this is still quite a major flaw for android phone manufacturers. My father still uses an iPhone 3GS and that is still receiving updates from Apple, nearly 4 years since it was released.

This is the first time i've heard of the "One Alliance protocol" so hopefully it's a step in the right direction.

Other than that, I'm sure users of older phones can hopefully flash custom roms of higher OS releases for their phone.

Sorry if i sound like a noob

4.2 was released 3+ months back. Currently my nexus 7 is running on 4.2.1 and this week would be 4.2.2 . Now then why is wrong to ask a question that samsung has not been keen on releasing 4.2 updates instead of stupid increments on 4.1.x which have been a major letdown.

Battery life has gone down from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 while i was expecting the opposite. 4.2 has much more refined codebase for battery and performance.

Now am I being unreasonable for asking the question?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
Who would buy the s4 if note 2 had 4.2.2 already:p:D

They would update the note 2 two months after they sell 20 million s4

If you want 4.2 for the dash clock ... flash aokp or Cyanogenmod rom

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Android OS upgrades are completely unrelated to what you just described about Windows. I purchase my windows and get updates free of charge throughout its product life cycle which stretches to even a decade. Going back to topic its Samsungs obligation to support its devices sold and keep them up to date atleast while the phone is relatively recent. Its what consumers want its why most people buy the latest phones. I bought my note 2 not because of its hardware alone, let alone its cheap build quality, but also because i expect to get the latest updates soon and not when its outdated.

I keep getting this several times a day. Usually when I do the pull down menu. I've flashed back to stock to fix it, rooted again, and it still there. Then after the update from VZW, reflashed the update with the unlock process. So two reflashes and it's still there.

It did not do this when the phone was new and just rooted till I started trying to add wifi toggle to the pull down notifications. I thought the two flashing methods would fix everthing but it seems not all files were updated.

What is the best way to get my phone back to stock, but need root. I'd like to flash back to factory and see if it goes away. If it does, I'd like to then root.

Something is not right!

I just did this:

Section 1b: How to return to stock 4.1.1 Jelly Bean coming from any rom with Odin

Step 1: Download and install Odin3 from section 1a if you have not already done so.

Step 2: Download this stock VRALJB image and pit file to a windows based pc.

Official VRALJB 4.1.1 12/9/12- http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2040264(This will wipe data and return your device to factory stock like the day you purchased the device. Unlocked and Locked devices may use this to return to Factory Stock conditions! Also, folks currently on the latest L4 OTA only use the alternate restore file as it does not contain a bootloader!)

SCH-I605_16gb.Pit- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?05cj895zu3tls7z

I have no memory card installed.

Step 3: Power device off, hold the volume down/home/power keys until you see a yellow triangle, then press the volume up key to access "odin or download mode".

Step 4: Open Odin and connect the oem usb cable from pc to device. The driver should automatically install( it did for me on windows 7 64bit). There should also be a "comport number" in upper left hand corner of Odin indicating communication between the pc & device.

Step 5: Click on the pit function of Odin and select the sch-i605-16gb.pit file.

Step 6: Click on the PDA function of Odin. Select the stock VRALJB image you downloaded in step 1, then select start. This operation should take less than 8 minutes before Odin will say pass/reset.

Step 7: Your device should boot back up into factory stock 4.1.1 android!

Well, it worked, have to log into google, setup account, screen tuturials are back, looks completely factory.

However, it just connected me to my home network without asking and it is password locked! How can this be a clean install if it is WPA/WPA2 PSK security and I never entered my password?

This cannot be a factory clean phone.

Please help.

Google backs up your Wifi connections as well as contacts and apps and other BS. I've noticed the google restore of wifi settings to be a bit spotty, but I also found that google thinks I have numerous instances of the same devices, so I think that it starts to get confused. Anyhow, there is no witchcraft going on. After you log into your google account during setup, it downloads wifi ap's and then starts restoring the rest of what it can on wifi.

Later,

A few days ago I flashed a vanilla 4.2.2 ROM to my Nexus 4 and restored the Titanium backup to it.

Today I realized that when I get apps from the Play Store website, they never get downloaded to the device. Downloading via Play Store app works fine. I followed these suggestions but nothing helped:

Any ideas?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack Jake:
Have you tried re-linking your phone to your Google account?

First you will have to add a different account to delete (and later re-add) the old one

Go to Settings<Accounts<Add Account.

After you did that delete the old one that you are having trouble with.

Reboot is recommended.

Then go to the play store from your computer and make sure you login to your new account synced with your phone. Now try downloading a app from here. If it works then go ahead and add your old account back in and delete the new one.

Easy.

Hope it works!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domi_niku:
Thanks for the tip but it didn't help. The apps download automatically when I use my second account but when I went back to the primary one nothing happens.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domi_niku:
Problem solved!

The ID of my phone changed after flashing the fresh ROM and apps purchased through the website were being pushed to the old ID.

If similar thing happens to anyone: go to Play Store and scroll to the bottom, click My Orders & Settings and go to Settings tab. Make your current device visible and uncheck the previous ID.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsd2000:
After updating (OTA) to 4.1.2 mobile data connections started to drop a lot.

Basically it works fine after a reset and most times after switching airplane mode on and off.

When keeping data connection active, there is no problem either.

However, after some idle time the connection is switched off doesnt get on again.

Even if I turn off/on the mobile data connection option.

Most of the time I would have to reset the phone.

This was fine before the update. (4.1.1)

Is anyone experiencing anything like this?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Why wouldn't it be on the battery? Usually the battery include a temp sensor for their onboard charge/discharge protection circuit to prevent self-heating mode and thus fire or even explosion of liion batteries.

It would not make sense to add a second sensor if there's one readily available.

Noth that sensor values are not necessarely degrees and thus apps may show incorrect values if their lookup table is wrong.

[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I was trying to sign into a department store website so I could submit an order I forgot to put in before going out for the evening to get that special sale, and I tried 3 browsers on my Rezzy and they didn't respond when I clicked on the "sign in" button. Nothing happened. It would give the pull down to select sign in, register, etc... but when I selected sign in it showed no change. Didn't highlight or anything.

I was originally using the stock browser then downloaded Boat and then Chrome when Boat didn't work.

While out with my friends I asked if I could try it on their iPhone and I logged right in with no issue whatsoever.

I have avast! on my phone but I don't think there's anything set to block logging in since I can log in to my internet email if I want to.

hi not been around here for a while and but i have a question for all you devs out there

ok ive asked the question before and i get the message unless you add it to the kernel you cant edit /boot

but my question is why not...

why does /boot have to be in mtd-parts on boot , why cant i just map it through android itself ive got root...

basicly my problem is this i have NO usb infact it snapped strieght off

i currently chage my phone by a piece if plastic between the battery and the testpoint for the usb port found next to where the usb used to be...

sooo this means NO flashing over USB and i hate it , will get a new phone soon

but i would love to try and gain access to /boot well i would like to access everything lol

Q , is it possible to remap the mtd layout whithin android itself

or is there anyway to kind of directly access the nand andread write it raw ie

pull an image of the partitions, edit it and flash it back all on device

i cant understand why i cant just use something like mtdmount or load the partition by using offsets and then access it like a data recovery app ignore all flags and so on and just copy out the data ...

so then devs any idease i mean

DO NOT WORRY about my device if it bricks it bricks my u20i is ruined anyway

random freezes / reboots eversice usb problem so

use your imagination , any way i can gain access,

i remeber when i unlocked the bootloader i saw something about remapping partitions in the log , is this the same?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gnrlbzik:
Hey all,

I just rooted my ATT Galaxy S2 first time and I think the first time android phone in general. I have successfully got to where i want to be. I have internet tethering, uninstalled all the junk, I still sticking with base rom, as I am trying to figure out why CM10 would not boot up beyond loading screen, but thats another topic.

What i don't understand is why you would not be able to move apps to external storage sd card. I used to have htc, and was able to do that, but that was before ICS. I have done some research but not as successfully as i wanted to do.

I have come across "ICS SD Binder" on play.google.com. But I dont completely understand what exactly needs to be done. Or rather bit unsure which drop down item to select and how it might effect my sd card as well as how to move apps afterwards. I assume just relocating them into that folder.

So can some one tell me why is it such a pain to have apps on external sd card and may be point me to right threads on how to point to external sd card and move my apps there or how in general i can get my apps on my external sd card.

Much appreciated and thank you in advance everyone.

I just used grooveshark and audible for my listening and educational needs. Though audio books library isnt bad at 2 gigs. Audio files that i offline are about 6-8 gigs. And thats hits my SG2 internal storage limit : /

Much appriciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Why do you want them on the external? They're easy to replace. Store other stuff on the external

Gps is use for more then navigation apps. Location based apps like facebook can use wifi to figure out the precise spot you are.

And google maps can track you inside certain buildings. I know in a home depot you can figure out how to get to whichever dept. Some big malls and airports have the same set up with google. Wifi undoubtedly helps.

I'm not sure what I expect by posting this, but I'm kinda at a loss and figured I'd see if anyone else had this happen.

Last night one of my throw away email accounts(yahoo) sent out an enormous amount of both texts and emails with some spam links. Some were to people in my contacts(phone numbers) and others were to email addresses in my sent folder(including random craiglist anonymous numbers) and the rest were to completely random strange addresses I don't recognize. The only reason I know this happened was when I checked my phone this morning, I had 35 Mailer daemon failure notices in my yahoo account(plus I got 1 email from a friend warning I'd been hacked).

I checked my laptop, my T889, and my t959v and none of them have records in the sent folder of anything being sent. I think it might have been my phone since there were links sent via texts also (or possibly google?), but I can't pin point it.

Is there a way to see if my phone has been compromised? Also I should say, I have no contacts saved in my yahoo account. The emails were sent out to addresses that were in my "sent history" or to some phone numbers in my contacts on sd.

I'm root, stock, 4.1.1 Uvalk8 No updates since the multi-window

I have installed a few "questionable"apps on my phone, but I don't think uninstalling and wait to see is going to help. IDK?!

Check your sent box within Yahoo email. If no sent email that is part of this spam, then the spammer just might had spoofed your email.

But just in case:

First thing to do is to change your password in Yahoo. Then change your password with any services that you used the same password that you had with Yahoo.

I don't know if Yahoo does verification by cell text message before changing password. If they do that then activate it. Any other services that provides that service activate it.

Also activate ssl in the settings. That will help in securing your sessions within Yahoo email.

Believe you me, there is no virus within your devices that caused this.

But if you want to check your Android devices for such a virus then use an app like Lookout to scan your Android devices.

I guess I got a little nervous because some apps that I've installed seem a little too in my business... for example: Craigslist notifier, meetup, ustv free etc. The ustv free had a tricky adware that makes it look like you're closing the ad, but really you're opening it. Looks like Lookout has good reviews. You have used it? I'm looking for the sll option in the settings on Yahoo right now.....

Ssl in Yahoo mail. Go to Yahoo mail from your browser. Within the mail options, general, ssl option will be at the bottom.

Yes, I use Lookout. Lookout got a few bad apps.

A role of thumb I use is: Paid apps are less likely to have virus, worms, notication ads, etc. Not always true. But more true then not.

And you less likely to get virus, worms, notication ads, etc when you use apps from trusted source and trusted developers.
