[NFC Hacking] siemz:
With NFC you can read data on different things, on some NFC stickers you can set this data and on others you can just read it.

Now for example if we take an subway card, you can read the data with your NFC phone, device and edit it.

If you can find the right strings you might even be able to hack it.

When changing this data you can actually change things that matter, you're one trip short? No problem!

Article about subway hacking :

http://gizmodo.com/5945669/some-nfc-hackers-managed-to-develop-a-free-train-ride-app

With various free apps and paid apps on our phone we can read data on NFC cards, stickers, badges etc.

But also on some credit cards.

For this there also turned out to be an app :

http://bgr.com/2012/06/21/android-app-nfc-credit-card-data-theft/

Meaning you could hold your phone up to someone's wallet, and gain his card information ..sorta

The app is now taken offline but you can find it on githhub , so with a little experiance you can re-create it :

-What do you think of this actual NFC Hacking and how do you think businesses will take actions against this (if possible)?
[NFC Hacking] madfish73:
Until now, as I know, there's no effective android app that can actually hack a Nfc system with secure protection.

Of course there are also some kinds of dumb system that use Well-Known Keys to protect there tag.

These are actual HACKING :)

NFC hacking... never really crossed my mind. Hopeful for things to come from xda in this region haha
[NFC Hacking] priddyma:
Most OEM Android builds have NFC polling disabled when screen off. Just leave it that way and you are fine.

The only builds I've seen the option for are CM based which give you three options: Only on screen on and unlocked, When screen is on but still locked, or even when the device is sleeping.

Keep this to one of the first setting and they will not be able to access your NFC.

But with the link above someone can steal your contactless card's info. That is why I recommend one of those RFID blocking wallets or even a magnet or some kind of foil stuck in your wallet should stop it right? EDIT: Looking into this it seems that foil does not stop it. I guess even RFID Shield doesn't work: http://www.omniscienceisbliss.org/rfid.html

Neither device charges via NFC is a different antenna /coil. Both devices charge via the qi standard which is a thicker coil than NFC.

I've had my tf700t for a few days now and have been assuming the mic was one of the tiny holes on the left or right sides of the tablet, when in fact the hole on the back is the actual mic.

So my question is: What are the holes on the left and right sides of the tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ronniereiff:
Just found an online user manual and found that the hole on the left is a reset button and the hole on the right is a mic and also the hole on the back is a mic as well.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
Hello!

Am using Samsung Galaxy S i9003 running on android 2.3.6

My phone is not fetching any cellular signal even though sim card is inserted in it. It is asking me to insert sim card when I check for mobile networks. After a thorough check up what I found is the IMEI number is missing. It is showing blank pop up when I check in for IMEI (*#06#).

Also what I've found is:

PDA: I9003XXKPQ

PHONE: Unknown

CSC: I9003SERKPQ.

So I thought this cellular signal problem could be due to missing "phone" file in the software of the operating system. So I flashed a custom ROM (Jelly Bam). I was successful in flashing but am still facing the same problem. No IMEI and "PHONE"

I flashed it back to official stock ROM and I still see the same. No IMEI and versions as:

PDA: I9003XXKPQ

PHONE: Unknown

CSC: I9003SERKPQ.

NOTE : I Have flashed the Stock ROM finally with ODIN with all the four files by appropriately selecting them.

Is this happening due to software error or is this a hardware problem?

Why the IMEI number is missing?

Please help me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] MR.Volkf:
you EFS folder is missing,restore any CWM Backup,or restore your EFS
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
efs folder is present. it is not missing.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
the data present in your efs folder which includes files like "nav_data.bak" "nv_data.bin" they assign IMEI number to your phone... these files might be missing or corrupted... better try any previous restore to fix this problem
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
Tried that!

I guess you are correct but the restored file on the sd card is corrupted one, I guess. Because the same problem occurred after restoring the previous backups. Can I get any custom restores online for efs? I don't want any warranty for my mobile, I just need it working. In case if it works on a fake IMEI by flashing a custom EFS it is fine with me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
you are on froyo right?? if yes then you simply flash another stock rom of base froyo or gingerbread through ODIN and this should restore your IMEI
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
No. Am on gingerbread. I've tried Jelly Bam though. But it is of no use. So I reverted back to gingerbread official ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
hmmm... actually stepping up for some custom roms based on CM 9 and above solve the IMEI problem.... I recommend you to first download a stock gingerbread ROM and flash it via ODIN... if it doesnt work then download a CM9 based ROM (4.0.4) wipe data/cache/dalvik/ and flash it via CWM recovery then wipe cache/dalvik... it should work and there is like 30% chance to get your IMEI back
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
But my main point is how u lost ur IMEI suddenly?? You must have flashed something which lead to missing IMEI.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
Will Try this once!

I will let you know when am done!

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
No. Once I gave it to my friend. He came up with this issue. He has no knowledge about all these. He said it just lost signal and stopped working!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
IMEI is lost when you delete/edit efs data or when you flash a firmware ,but the chances of loss of IMEI are during firmware flashing are very slim
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Frankly speaking ur frnd must have flashed something which caused loss of IMEI. Anyway in internel memory card look for backup folder. Tell us whether it is there or not.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
Backup folder is present but it is empty!:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
yeah your "nv_data.bin" is missing... did you flashed a CM9 (4.0.4) rom?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
No!

Could you please provide me the download link to that?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449649

download this ROM... wipe data,wipe cache and wipe dalvik.. flash the ROM.. wipe cache and wipe dalvik and reboot and see if got back your IMEI
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
I will let you know when am done!:good:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
not working!

No IMEI yet

:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
dont worry you still have a couple of options left but to try them you should be calm so that you dont further mess with your efs data.

try thisLink 1

and if you still fail try this Link 2

I hope you recover your IMEI.GoodLuck
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
I've followed the procedure provided by you in link 1.

Didn't worked out.

I don't know how to execute the procedure described in Link 2.

Can you please explain a detailed process about how to execute the procedure in link 2 provided by you!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
I have followed both procedures described by you.

No use.. :thumbdown:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
did you followed link 2 correctly??.. because the procedure given there definately fixes your IMEI
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shashivydyula:
Yeah I've followed it correctly. But still I couldn't fix it. :confused:

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] adesalis:
It's happened again - I have no volume on my xda (I can only hear with the headset plugged in). This is the second time now, and it's off to the shop for another replacement (at least I get a new casing - I can forget about the huge scratch last time I dropped it!)

I'd be extremely interested if anyone else has had this with European O2 xda's. Maybe there is a design flaw in the headset socket that wears out (yeah, but in less than a month?). I do listen to music on the train to and from work, so it gets plugged/unplugged twice a day.

rgds,

Alex.

Hurrah!

Every cloud has a silver lining - They didn't have any 32mb xda's in stock, so they gave me a 64mb one. Hurrah!

This is now my third handset!

Other good things are it has 3.14 ROM, radio stack 4.08 - the splash screen to start up looks very XP'ish, and the default today screen is the XP Bliss wallpaper.

Apart from that, it looks pretty much the same. I'll let you know if anything else behaves differently.

Looks like I'll have to work out how to break the sound so that everyone can go and get a free upgrade! :D

Hey,

Is there any way to permanently enable developer settings in AOSP Cyanogenmod 10.1 so they stick after a reboot? Disabling HW Overlays is necessary on the EVO 4G LTE with 4.2 AOSP roms, so after each reboot it is a bother to have to remember to enable it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanusDC:
I have my keyboard setted for 3 languages (English, Spanish and French), but the spell checker can only be setted for one language, which is quite annoying. Is there any app/ROM/whatever allowing to select several languages for the spell checker such that it synchronizes with the current keyboard language?

I have found lot of people annoyed by this since 2011 at least (see here), but not yet a solution.

Update: I just disabled the spell check, and after using the phone for some hours, I enabled it again and it works! Spell check is set to the language on the keyboard. I guess the expected way to set it is to first set the languages for the keyboard and just then enable the spell checking.
[HTC One X+] anyen:
To change font for one one x+ u have to ROOT your phone...and the software is font changer...I know it is dangerous because you can brick and have to install ruu again...so can we list fonts that compatible and maybe kind enough to post screen shot..and the name of the font...so that we know it is compatible with our one x+

I am using digistrip.ttf and it is compatible
[HTC One X+] nchantmnt:
just one question: why not just unlock and install custom recovery. then you can just backup, mod whatever you want and restore if it fails.

and you can install custom roms.

otherwise if you still want to stay on stock fw and it fails you can possibly reinstall stock font via adb? did you try that yet?
[HTC One X+] anyen:
Well if you install the wrong font your device will bootloop...backup you must...but if like my case I have 150 apps...and 20 gb storage ...it is just wasting time if happened to restore..

Font get bored easyly...most of the time we install font after you put all l the apps and etc...

So no one here with custom font? Or can show what font is compatible...with nice looking font?
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Well just backup your font folder then :confused: If you get a bootloop, push stock fonts.....
[HTC One X+] anyen:
how? and with what software to back up?
[HTC One X+] nchantmnt:
AW: Compatible font

Pull and push stock font with adb

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X+ mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X+] anyen:
and what command...if i push from the recoveries...will it overwrite the folder name font...because you cant choose directory from recovery
[HTC One X+] nchantmnt:
AW: Compatible font

You have to specify path and directory with your command parameters.

First remount system r/w then backup your stock font with

adb remount

And then

adb pull /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf DroidSans.ttf

Next rename stock font of device with

adb shell mv /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf.orig

Then push the one you would like to have on your system with

adb push /path_to_new_font/newfont.ttf /system/fonts/DroidSans.ttf

Last but not least you have to reboot with

adb reboot

Gesendet von meinem HTC One X+ mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X+] anyen:
i taught the name is roboto??

do you have to have root...or just regular phone can install from hboot?

adb is that like command prompt fastboot?

sorry i just newbe
[HTC One X+] nchantmnt:
AW: Compatible font

Then before you brick your device and don't know how to get it back working read the tutorials in this forum. Then you should understand why I suggested using an unlocked device and recovery. And yes you must be rooted since you are going to make changes to your system partition.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Heavy Metal:
I am thinking of getting a note 2....

Do I have to flash a prl to roam or is this like the photon 4g just go into settings and set it to roam and it picks up any cdma? Or gsm or either?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
It's automatically set to pick up any available signal. But it's not a bad idea if your in a new area to go to settings, updates and update prl. Other than that go into settings, more settings and mobile network and make sure it's on what you want it and also go to roaming options and select automatic.

Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
It will only roam on cdma in the US it can roam gsm and umts internationally. Lte is limited to sprint only and can't roam yet due to the frequency differences. US gsm/umts roaming is blocked tho so in the US you'll only be able to roam on other cdma carriers.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Heavy Metal:
Is Note 2 Lte?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] PoorHomey:
Yes. Note 2 is LTE

Photon 4G is WiMax
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
What is the per minute rate? $5 ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
For international roaming? It's like 5cents a text and like 50cents a minute with some carrier's that sprint has an agreement with. Those they don't can charge whatever they want up to a certain point, so $5 a minute could be close. But that's still cheaper than using a landline/payphone cuz it's like $7.50 a minute for those with a calling card and almosy $10 without in most European countries. Not as bad in some asian countries tho.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sandy_33R:
Let me start by saying this is my first post, but I'm not new to this forum. I have searched these pages for past 3 days and tried a bunch of different things but I can't seem to figure out my problem. I flashed the stable cm10 release and it worked without any issues. I enjoyed it so much that I tried 10.1. After the flash to 10.1 I was stuck in the bootloop (figured out this problem later), and decided to just go back to cm10.0. At some point, I'm not entirely sure when it happened, I just lost service to my phone. I still seem to be getting the data connection, and wifi works no problem, but I cannot make or receive calls, and no sms. I flashed back to 2 different backups I made, it goes fine, but the same exact thing, no service. The status of the phone shows the IMEI, and all other values look correct, but under Network it says "Unknown". I have tried the things below, but nothing is working, and I have given up trying on my own.

1. flashing back to 2 different backups, same problem

2. flashing to an old ICS rom, same problem

3. flash back to 10.1, same problem (it doesn't seem to be rom related)

4. tried pulling the sim and reboot, no effect

5. tried full factory reset, no effect

6. tried fresh load through ODIN, no effect

7. tried flashing different radios found on this forum, no effect

I'm sure I'm missing some other things I've tried, it's all blurring together now. I apologize in advance if there is an easy fix to this that I overlooked, or for posting in the wrong place. Any help at all is appreciated.
