[Galaxy Tab 2 General] feralicious:
Just got home with a brand new P3113 running JB 4.1.1. I saw a notification symbol I hadn't seen on the one I had just returned, a garnet red p3113 that was also running 4.1.1. It says "Software update - confirm that you have read and understood the..." and when I select it it asks me what country I'm in, then asks me to accept Samsung's terms and conditions for Software update.

So, I assume this is an OS update (have never had a Samsung phone or tab before). Anyone know what it is? 4.1.2? 4.2.1? Is this really brand new as of today? Anyone else gotten it?

I didn't go ahead with it as I want to be sure I don't end up not being able to root or anything. Any reason not to do it?

ETA: How do you take a screenshot so I can take one of my current firmware?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ze0:
power + volume down

That is may be 4.1.2

We wont be getting 4.2 that easily
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] feralicious:
So I should have no future problems updating to (presumably) 4.1.2 as far as rooting and custom ROMs?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ze0:
Yes , There are workaround methods to OTA update your device even after rooting , do search general thread and u will find one
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] feralicious:
Thanks but I'm not rooted yet. What I'm wanting to be sure of is that if I take the OTA now, before rooting, that I will be able to root on whatever the new version turns out to be. I haven't found any documentation on what this OTA is.

I thought there would be more interest that there is an OTA for a P3113 running 4.1.1 since I didn't find anything about it and the Tab I just exchanged didn't get the notification so it must be a brand new OTA.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonOfTheRain:
Hello gentlemen,

I was thinking to buy a Samsung ATIV S device, i am a Windows Mobile User currently (HD2), i thought i would write some apps for myself or for fun etc, then i could test on my phone so i would buy that handset. I made a little search in the internet, but realized that I have to have Developer account to test code on my device (99 USD / year).

Is there a way that we can unlock ATIV S and remove max apps limit (they say 10)? I have found results that only look like for Windows Phone 7.

Sincerely, this situtuation looks like a little absurd for me :) I would feel like i have a car, but behind the steering wheel someone else is sitting...

Currently you can't developer Unlock a WP8 device without having a Developer Account. You can get a Developer Account for free if you're a student through the Dreamspark program.

edit: ***Forgot to add I'm looking for TW***

That is

1)Inverted

2)Doesn't have people's pictures taking up all that space in each individual convo

3)Has emoji support

To me that is the perfect messaging app. I can only seem to find apps that satisfy 2 out of the 3 I listed. Most of my contacts don't have a picture and the emply picture square annoys me. Emoji's are that big of a deal but I'd like to find something that is inverted and has the contact picture removed. Any help is appreciated!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brawndo89:
Yeah I know but there is an AOSP version and a TW version. Pretty sure the person that made that mod didn't put as much into the TW version, which is why I was wondering if the screenshot that was posted came from the AOSP version. I've searched the TW version and that option isn't in the settings.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cehf:
the second link I gave you has to tutorial which, when done, allows you to use an aosp mms.apk so you might want to try that.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strausd:
Hi, I am a recent iPhone convert thanks to the Nexus 4. So obviously I am new to rooting, custom ROMS, and custom kernels. I am currently rooted and am running a recent CM 10.1 nightly. However, battery life isn't all that great.

A friend of mine told me that a custom kernel can drastically improve battery life without hurting performance. So here I am hoping that someone can help me. Can anyone recommend a good kernel that will improve battery life without hurting speed?

Also, what are the steps for installing a custom kernel? What about going back to stock in case I have to send my phone in for an RMA or something like that? Is that easy to do?

Thanks in advance for the help!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berz:
Try Franco or Harsh or trinity .

Custom kernels are more about under clocking a few things here and there to get best balance between performance and battery life thats and some tweaks which are generally inbuilt .

But tbh not all phone's are same what works for me and few others might not fetch u the same results, i've experienced this over my previous nexus device .

Some combo of ROM/kernel might work for u and not so well for other's i would say try out all the main stream kernels and some more if your'e feeling epxerimental give each kernel 2 to 5 days and see which u like the best.

Personally i've had good results with harsh kernel and franco and trinity .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strausd:
Do you have one that you would suggest for a first time newbie? Also, what is the process for installing it and potentially uninstalling it back to stock?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfshouldidonow:
Everything is easy to do. AS LONG AS YOU READ FIRST before doing anything :) You can start by reading the guides found here in the Nexus 4 General thread.

So far, the best for both performance and battery for me is Trinity kernel.

By the way, to install a custom kernel:

1. Install proper drivers for nexus 4 in your pc.

2. Unlock your bootloader.

3. Install custom recovery like CWM or TWRP Recovery

4. Start flashing your choice of kernels!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strausd:
Thanks for the advice! I am currently using CWM and have an unlocked boot loader. Is it as simple as downloading a zip, going into recovery, and installing the zip from "sd card"? If so, where can I find the zip for trinity? And how can I go back to stock in case something goes wrong?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayo234:
There are post on xda and you could Google it. Just download it on your nexus and flash it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfshouldidonow:
If you want to be always safe and sure, then BEFORE flashing anything, go to CWM, choose backup and restore, then choose backup. That is called a nandroid backup. It might take a long time depending on how much apps you have. After the nandroid backup takes place, then you're free to flash the zip for trinity that you've downloaded.

I also suggest that you do backups often and delete old ones (you can delete old backups in the "backups and restore" part of CWM). So that incase anything goes wrong when you flash something, just go back to recovery mode, then restore your latest backup and you can undo your wrongs :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strausd:
So nandroid backups also backup the kernel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imeem:
bump. i also need to know the answer to this question.

EDIT: nvm found my answer, it backups the kernel too.

admins can delete this
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
nandroid backs up everything. it basically takes a snapshot of the state your device is in when you back it up, then restored your phone to exactly how it was before the backup.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justthefacts:
Coming from HTC One S (and a whole lot of HTC family before that) and not having to deal with S-Off dilemma is a whole new free world for me (you can say i am institutionalized).

If I want to flash a rom and not the kernel included in it, can I just remove the boot.img file from the rom's zip and flash it? Or is that not a good idea?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
no. you need to flash the whole zip. without a kernel, your device is an expensive brick. the kernel control pretty much everything and connects the hardware to the software. you can always flash another kernel after flashing the rom zip.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justthefacts:
Thanks for the reply.

Are all kernels pretty much compatible with all roms?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
all nexus 4 kernels are compatible with all nexus 4 roms. if you flash a non nexus 4 kernel onto your nexus, you will most likely brick it.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
Hi there!

I live in France and I go often to California. I always had a spare GSM phone tri-band for the US and Canada.

Last March, I bought an O2 xda in Australia, in a Telstra shop, thinking it was a bi-band phone. Back in Paris, I found this site and learned how to access tho the GSM menu (I had found myself how to access to the Wallaby bootloader 5.17, but I didn't press any other key after the message "GSM OK").

I've just come back from San Diego and while I was there I changed the band to "1900"... and the xda worked perfect!!! Back in Paris, I've switched back to 900/1800 and I'm using again the European networks :D

Thank you!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
What?

We've always believed the phone had physically different hardware for 900/1800 and 900/1900 operation, and I seem to remember seeing negative test results.

The O2 XDA you bought for sure is 900/1800 and not 900/1900 ? (remember: it would work in Paris if your provider is on 900).

Let's all follow up on this one carefully. For now, let us not imediately assume the units are tri-band.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rustek:
I have heard that O2 are likely to release a tri-band version with 64Mb internal RAM.

This will be called the XDA 64i and is likely to sport Bluetooth also.

Any further news on this appreciated.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Silversurfer:
Hey ArtZ

Let us know if your carrier is a 1800 Mhz Carrier.

If the XDA is triband that would be absolutly awesome.

:lol:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Tekflow:
Hey guys

Now this is VERY IMPORTANT NEWS

Can we have more info and more confirmation (more experience in this ?)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
My carrier, SFR is a 900Mhz carrier. In fact SFR (Vodafone) and Orange (France Telecom) use the 900 Mhz but in some places to avoid network congestion they use also 1800 Mhz band. BOUYGTEL (Bouygues Telecom) uses only the 1800 Mhz band.

I've just made a test. I have configured the phone as 1800 Mhz only. I couldn't find my carrier SFR. Then I tried to select manually the network and I only could see BOUYGTEL (1800 Mhz). I have tried in the past my XDA with a BOUYGTEL car also and it works fine. So my phone is configured for 900/1800 carriers.

After this, I changed network again (1900 Mhz) in Wallaby bootloader. Then I cannot see any carrier. In California I was connected to Pacific Bell using the 1900 setting.

As I told you before, I bought my xda in Australia last March with the latest firmware. It's a 64 Mb internal RAM

I'll be back in California (on vacation) on June 30th for 10 days. If you wanna make tests...
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Silversurfer:
Hi ArtZ

This sounds great.

Sorry to bother you, but can you tell us please which firmware U are using for the PDA and for the phone?

Thanx! :idea: :o

PS: for me it will be end of the year, so this is a long time... :oops:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
I forgot to tell you the versions installed (I haven't updated them yet) are:

RUU 3.14.17

RSU 4.17

I don't think my xda is the XDA 64i. It has no Bluetooth. I think the 64Mb version just came out in Australia when I was there in March. There're are maybe harware changes with the 32Mb version and the 64Mb is a tri-band.

Hope that helps.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
It's me again, sorry to bother you.

I run all the tests from the Wallaby bootloader. The version I have is GPRS 4

It will be interesting to check if you have new versions over there.

I found out that the xda has just arrived in France by Bouygues. I will try to get more information about it but I think it's the same model I have. Bouygues doesn't say if the HTC iPDA is a bi-band or a tri-band telephone

Hi,

My version is GPRS 4.1332s54 What ever this means? :shock:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
how to change the frequency?

HI Artz,

Great news you have given. Can you please clarify step by step how you changed the network frequency of the phone?

Thanks

Blurr
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] vpreHoose:
DANGER

Look on the back of the device, the part number will tell you if it is a 1900 unit or not.

PW10A1 is the 900/1800

PW10B1 is the 900/1900

The Bootloader is identical. CE is different as the option to chose the 1900 band (which you have to do manually) is only in 1900 CE versions.

The hardware is different between the two versions. The radio circuits and filters are different. You "could" switch the radio of a 1800 unit to try and do 1900, but your coverage would be extreemly poor as the 1800 filter is actually filtering out half of the 1900 band.

Your 1900 operator will NOT like you.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] :
superblurr, lazy boy! :roll:

All information is here, in xda-developers.com. Just take a look at this page :P

http://www.xda-developers.com/bootloader/

It will be nice if someone from the States comes to Europe and try his xda here. And if you go to the States (or Canada) take your xda with you. It's the only way to find out if there're different models

My version is:

GPRS 4.1332s54 (as silversurfer)

RUU: 3.14.17

RSU: 4.17

Model: PW10A1
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Carlos:
Anybody got a spare XDA they want to send to the US for testing for a few days? It usually only costs me about $12 to ship something that size to Europe, and takes about 5 days. I would imagine it to be similar the other way.
