[General Questions and Answers] Yogi.B:
Hello all,

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find any device-related subforum for the Samsung Galaxy Rugby (GT-S5690M). If my questions are in the wrong section, please move it to the right place (mods)?

So here's the story: I just got my first smartphone. Since it's locked to Bell, it has some bloatware and need for sim-unlocking. I did a lot of reading and through some tutorials I managed to root Android and got rid of some bloatware (just four Bell apps). So far so good! Then I tried to unlock the phone. There are some apps in the Google Play that state that they can unlock the phone for free ("works on various Galaxy models").

I tried them out, but none of them could provide a solution. The last app I tried (Galaxy_S Unlock) requested that BusyBox were to be installed, so I did. During the installation the app remarked that already some BusyBox version was installed, but not the version that it was trying to install. I was suppose to try another type of installing (I used the normal/safe mode). But it said it was already installed, so good enough. Right? I tried the unlocking app again, but it still said it had errors getting to communicate with BusyBox. None of the unlocking apps gave me the impression that they changed anything in the system.

I figured that maybe a reboot of the phone would fix this. However, now the phone got several issues:

- booting takes forever (18 minutes) It does the animated Samsung logo (though, not with sound any more) and then keeps on slowing the glowing Samsung name.

- the speaker doesn't seem to be working at all

- it can no longer check for updates. After agreeing with the disclaimer, it says it can't connect.

- KIES doesn't see the phone any more.

- the phone is generally very slow now. Even when typing a password the phone sometimes hangs for about 5-10 seconds. Loading the disclaimer for the Software Updater takes 10-15 seconds.

I tried to reset to factory defaults and reload the rooting zip file again, but to no avail.

I've been trying to read up on the isolated symptoms, but I'm simply starting to feel overloaded with all the info, especially since I'm a Android newbie.

Does anybody recognize these symptoms and, more important, has any tips on what to try to restore whatever has gone wrong?

Additionally, I would really be interested in knowing if there's a way to force-upgrade to Jelly Bean. It appears that this firmware hasn't been made available to Rugby users yet through the regular update channels. But are there alternatives?

Thanks in advance!

Installing ViperOneS 2.1.0 I noticed and selected an additional feature for mail exchange accounts. I hoped that it will let me to cheat Exchange account Administrator and remove requirements for PIN and/or encryption.

Could someone explain this feature to me, how to find and use it, please?

Anyone installed the Exchange mail mod toggle addon?

Oh, really? This sounds easy. Thanks a lot mate! :laugh:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wolberine:
I recently upgraded my Galaxy Tab GT-P1000 to CM9.1 from the stock Gingerbread ROM and the microphone in the headset stopped working. I've tried CM 9.0, a Nightly CM10 build and an AOKP rom as well... still no luck. When I restocked back to Gingerbread it starts working again.

I've done a ton of google searching and read a lot of forums and I haven't seen many threads listing similar issues (or fixes), so I'm wondering if it's just on my unit.

Has anyone experienced anything similar to this and does anyone have any ideas how to fix?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
Hi everyone!

Yesterday I bought my Galaxy S Advance.

After using some Android 4+ devices I am used in using folders on my desktop.

Is there any app that allows you to use ics styled folders?

I cannot find anything interesting. The most are bad copies of the iPhone folders.

Thanks in -S- Advance
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Hmm.. What "folder" are you referring to? Are you talking about the "circled" ones on the Homescreen which keeps a bunch of apps in itself?

Try some different launchers, some have this feature....
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobfrantic:
Holo Launcher HD does nice job of folders imho. Lots of settings like background and icon and text sizes.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
Thank you both guys for replying, I haven't find yet anything :crying:

Yes! Thats what I mean. I do not mind if it will be circled but the stock gingerbread folders are really bad. :( I would like to keep on using the default launcher because I like it very much.

If it is possible I would like not to change launcher. Touchwiz is very nice!! But there isn't any good app for creating folders..
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
You can upgrade to Jellybean if you want.. as Jellybean has a more "modern" UI than the outdated Gingerbread...

On JB, you can use Nova Launcher, which has the Feature you are looking for :)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
I will, but in my country the JB rom has not been given yet.

We are waiting for it, up to the middle of March it would have been released.

So, for now I stay with Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sami Kabir:
Yeah, thats up to you....

But if you want it now then you can Root your phone and upgrade to Jellybean.. it still didn't release for my country too (only released for Russia) but I have using it for more than a month now... :)

But then again, since you bought your phone just recently you might not want to void your warranty by Rooting it...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -bat69-:
It's the default style of TouchWiz in JB.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinarahimpoor:
Is finally a day can have a stable custom Android 4 ?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhonnyx:
Actually the most Stable Android 4.x rom is EPinter's CM10, which you can find in this thread.

Also, it depends in what you call "stable". Many people would want a Stable Rom but does not care about Bluetooth, other ones won't care about HW Acceleration, others won't mind about battery life if they recall ROM is stable.

I'm using CM10 from EPinter's with dual boot with Neutrino 2.9 and I don't have problems; except for the known camera issues (laggy camera, unresponsive, no hw accel). But I don't use camera nor use hw accel, so the rom is mostly perfect for me.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NordicMan:
If you're willing to wait just a little while, the developers here are making huge successful strides in creating a stable Olympus ICS/JB Kernel, which if successful will be the foundation of a whole new era of stable & optimized ROMS for our beloved Atrix! :cool:

i Recently flashed my ATT samsung galaxy S3 to the Newest ParanoidKANGdroid ROM (2.01) and i Cant seem to receive MMS. Please Help. Tried Everything (almost everything) but im sure there's a fix out there. Help is EXTREMELY Appreciated. THANKS:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Without know what "almost everything" there isn't much to suggest...

Can you send MMS?

Cab you make a call?

Did you clean flash?

Is it only on that ROM?

Is your imei still there?

Did you check your APN settings?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wordplaydopeaf:
Just had to flash back to Stock since i couldn't quite get it right. I Could make calls, i checked my APN Settings and everything looked normal,my Imei was still there but i never tried sending MMS(although i knew i couldn't receive them). If i ever wanna flash back to this Rom(not sure if i did it right the first time) any good tips on how to do it correctly without having this problem again? Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
without knowing what caused the problem we can't tell you anything new to help you prevent it.

you're going to keep hearing "clean flash, full wipe, see if the problem's there still" because we don't know everything about your phone and what could be causing your problem, and a full wipe solves many problems.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wordplaydopeaf:
i Did a Full wipe. Flashed back to ParanoidKangDroid and problem still persists... what Vital information could i share to help me fix this?

i Personally LOVE this rom and would like to keep it but this MMS issue is definitely a problem. if Logcat is needed ill try to post one. Im still a little noobish so please bear with me.

**NOTE. Last night when i flashed it i was able to send and recieve mms. & now i Can't. This Also happened yesterday afternoon before i posted this thread. It seems like it only works when it wants to...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Are you using a third party messaging app or the stock one?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wordplaydopeaf:
i Used both ChompSMS and Stock messaging. As Of right now Everything appears to be working im Able to send and receive (FOR NOW, Atleast) ... Earlier i went into CWM and WIPED ALL DATA (Factory Reset and Dalvik Cache) and Rebooted my phone. Not sure if thats what got it to work... but usually the MMS stop working (from what ive noticed). Will continue testing Sending\Receiving mms throughout the day. Thanks. Ill be back if problem Re emerges.:good::D

***UPDATE. Spoke WAYYY too soon, Problem Persists -__-**

Seems like after i Got all my Apps setup and running MMS fails.. idk if im Correct but just an observation. I can Make Calls,Use data,receive/send SMS. but Cant send or Receive MMS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
This may sound tedious but I'd reinstall an app at a time and try to send a message. Something is interfering. Are you restoring through Google or titanium backup? Are you restoring system data if you are using titanium? That can cause problems...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
you could try Settings > More > Mobile Networks > APN and choose Reset to default (which should be read off your sim). Restart your S3 and test your data connections.

i'm assuming you're not using straight talk or anything but at&t on your phone, correct? mms dont send over wifi
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wordplaydopeaf:
Ive been restoring through Google... Tedious but worth a Try. Thanks for that suggestion. Hopefully i can get to the bottom of this.. i Just went back to Stock. Will try again later when i have a more time to keep playing with it. hmmm i Wonder what could be interfering :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wordplaydopeaf:
Correct. Ive messed around with the APN settings on previous installs (Reset to Default and Reboot) and the problem is still there... Might have to give it another try after i flash this rom again. Although there was an Occasion where i did that (Reset to Default and Reboot) and it worked but only for a short amount of time then MMS fails again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wordplaydopeaf:
PROBLEM SOLVEDc:D:good: No longer having issues, Thanks for all the Help.

Does signing in through amazon make it cheaper with shipping? Cuz it comes out to 50$ with shipping and tax. Wondering if you got it cheaper than that?

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
i have made a collection of many tweaks more, my old tweaks work but i dont have my tablet to test this, i think this tweaks should work, some are sound tweaks, other are battery and speed tweaks and some others are net and some system tweaks.

this tweaks arent flashable, some are really good tweaks, but i dont know if this tweaks works in the kindle fire hd, because are init.d tweaks and no a recovery or a system file if this fail is easy to get back reflashing system.

instructions

1.download them from the link below

2.put them on you kindle fire hd sdcard

3.extract them

4.copy init.d folder files and paste them in /system/etc/init.d

5.set permision to all files in init.d to rwxrwxrwx

6.reboot

Have a happy tweaking
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
one thing, please, when you try this tweaks, post all, the bugs, if one not work or anything, or send me a private message
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
anyone tested this?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] miztah1999z:
I will test them when I come home. In about 6-8 hrs.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] cramamarshall:
I'm testing it

I downloaded the file this morning and I am testing it now. It installed fine and the system rebooted properly. So far so good. I will keep performing various tasks and continue to monitor how it goes! Thank you for your tweaks I have noticed a difference in the way my KFHD responds now it seems a lot snappier than it was out the box. :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
good!, so they work, ok, when i get my tablet i will modify them, then add them to my tweaks so my tweaks will be more complete. tested audio? any difference?

that tweaks are the future, not old tweaks, very new tweaks that were made by some developers that i asked to take them, so if they work i think all tweaks must work
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
use this tweaks with my other tweaks, and see if work. and tell me if it is more faster
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
for a faster device install chainfire 3d, mine fps in the soldier test went to 59 one time with it!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] cramamarshall:
Yes I have your other tweaks installed as well and it does make my device faster. I ran a Antutu benchmark a few minutes ago my score went from 6973 to 7058 after installing this tweak and Chainfire 3D ! I have to step away for a moment Im going to watch some Netflix and tryout Shadowgun to test the sound quality to see if there is a difference! This is great so far!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
downloaded when? because my tweaks from persano´s tweaks post were updated yesterday.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2116243 this one were updated yesterday. redownload if you dont updated this tweaks
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] cramamarshall:
I was on here last night and downloaded your other tweaks. Yes I'm subscribed to the other post so I get an email when its updated. I saw this post this morning so I'm just now playing around with them. Actually I downloaded them again because I saw where it said updated but I had originally downloaded and installed last night or yesterday evening!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
the performance is better with these tweaks or the same, any battery drain ?

use kinology rom + my tweaks = lighting, he fixes some errors, my tweaks too, so no more errors. its very good, test that rom with my tweaks
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
redownload, new version, i have deleted some tweaks that i had better in my persano´s tweaks, this is more heavy because some tweaks were updated for 1024 mb ram devices like this! redownload, now its compatible with all ram values thanks to the new update :D

then, i will make no a init.d and build prop tweak pack, i will make a full tweak pack with xbin bin and some etc tweaks, and others tweak too but i need my tablet to make them

and future tweaks that load modules, yeah i found how, but i have to try
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] cramamarshall:
So far so good on the battery drain I will let you know right now I have it charging once it is full I will test and see how long it lasts during use/sleep etc. I have not did the tutorial on installing the 2nd boot loader as of yet but will try it in the future then I will check out the Custom ROM once I have done that! Thanks again!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
redownload again please, the new version its even better :D, and yeah, that rom is very good
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
when i get my tablet, more tweaks will be added and some removed, so performance will be better, and rpengine will remplace mpengine, that is even faster!

if want to test if this drain battery, here you have a better build prop, this one have some increase dalvik values so its even faster, what version are you using of kindle fire hd?

search for this values

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=48m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=68m

these values repeat two times

change the values, they have to see like this (all the lines with this value, there are 2 lines in build.prop with the same, some change the 2!)

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=10m

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=50m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=100m

and see if battery draining is higher, if not, i will remplace my old values with it and reupload my tweaks (persano´s tweaks)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
the new version that is coming is going to have some bug fixes and adrenaline boost, if you dont want to use adrenaline boost simply dont type

su

boost

in terminal emulator.

and i will add adrenaline engine! yeah, rpengine + adrenaline engine = AIRCRAFT ENGINE xD

really, its very good, when i get my tablet i will make it, i pray that my tablet dont burn with this xD
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
test if that build.prop tweaks make the device faster, run bechmarck and run games, and tell me if the battery drains faster please
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
man, do you tested it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmarkxd:
Well then... now that android is a major contender in the mobile OS wars. Had the G1 from day one.

My only complaint from android... is the quality of apps. Also, repeat of the same apps over and over again in the play store. Recently I've been scouring the market place and I noticed that there are a lot of apps that seem kinda... a waste... For example... just how many weather apps and widgets do you need? most of the time they copy HTC, Samsung, or Sony apps (weather, clock, calendar etc) and slap on a generic name onto it.

Now Im all for "oh android is OPEN" but at least put some effort on making an app :o

this raises the question... should android have a tighter quality control over apps? Im not saying to make android "closed" but anyone that wants to submit an App on the play store needs to follow guidelines so there isn't repeats of apps that makes android fragmented. I mean there's 700,000 apps on the play store right now but prlly only a few 100 are only worth using because of how polished they are.

What do you guys thing? does Google need have tighter control of the play store?
