[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamareebjamal:
Tried already

Disappears randomly
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
Is this problem still occurring for you iamareebjamal? I'm having the exact same issue, using the same ROM and scripts. Sometimes a reboot will kill my imei, sometimes it won't
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamareebjamal:
Move Galaxy Toolbox to Phone via Settings

And then try to restore before Media Scanning starts. Because Media Scanning resets network and IMEI is lost again if Media Scanning starts. After restoring, Reboot ASAP

However, by this method too, I loose my IMEI after every reboot. But by this method, it gets restored in one go.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaimo:
Thanks for the tip :laugh:

Tried reverting back to Jelly Blast today (went back to stock via odin, IMEI was there and appeared to stick) and not suffering the IMEI loss. Strange to think it would be a Simplicity specific issue for us. The reason I left Jelly Blast was because of recurring GPS issues.

Oh well, if you could let me know if you find a more permanent solution in the future it would be greatly appreciated :good:

I need some help with a batch file. I am going to run the batch file on a usb flash drive/thumb stick. What I need it to do is copy three files from the usb flash drive/thumb stick to a directory on a computer. The three files are drivers. A Netgear N150 WNA1100 drivers to be exact. I have been looking around different websites but they have been no help to me. :(
[Windows 8 General] nightfire37:
No help?

@xcopy "%~dps0\driver_blah_blah" "dest_drive:\path\"
[Windows 8 General] stevedebi:
Actually, xcopy has been depreciated in favor of robocopy.

--------------

Usage :: ROBOCOPY source destination [file [file]...] [options]

source :: Source Directory (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).

destination :: Destination Dir (drive:\path or \\server\share\path).

file :: File(s) to copy (names/wildcards: default is "*.*").

:

: Copy options :

:

/S :: copy Subdirectories, but not empty ones.

/E :: copy subdirectories, including Empty ones.

/LEV:n :: only copy the top n LEVels of the source directory tree.

/Z :: copy files in restartable mode.

/B :: copy files in Backup mode.

/ZB :: use restartable mode; if access denied use Backup mode.

You can get these by opening a command prompt and typing robocopy /?
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
Robocopy isn't present on all Win boxes. There are still a lot of XP boxes out there. Xcopy isn't as robust, but for copying a few driver files from USB, it doesn't need to be.

I assumed OP is informed enough to know basic copying syntax. His difficulty is with the USB drive letter, which is dynamically assigned by default. The %~dps0 is what he's looking for. Syntax to this is in an unlikely place, for /?.

Speaking of deprecating, *.* wildcard has been out of fashion since the DOS days.
[Windows 8 General] stevedebi:
Oh, well, it is a Windows 8 Forum, so I figured he was asking for this OS. I haven't tried xcopy on my Windows 8 machine, but it still works on Windows 7.

Speaking of color: Personally, I like to change the screen color when performing long copy commands, so that I know how far along the CMD file has progressed.

The OP does not have to worry about the drive letter if he is running the cmd file off of the thumb drive (which is my assumption). all he needs is to provide the name as the source; it will assume the drive letter and current directory. If he is trying to use it from the computer, that could be a problem.

EDIT: Sorry about the color comments. I was picking up the text colors in the quote box! (but I still like to color my screens on long cmd files).

EDIT again: As far as the *.* goes, I was simply pasting the result of the robocopy help command. You'll have to write MS about that one!
[Windows 8 General] nightfire37:
thanks e.mote I needed to write the batch file because my dad works for my ISP and he has to install the wireless USB adapter manually due to microsoft saying that any program not on the marketplace is illegal to install or run. I will make his time and install easier.

Edit: The batch file is gonna be used on multiple machines. So drive letters are way out of the question.

Edit 2: It is only gonna be run on windows 8 machines.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
That is completely false. Windows 8 will allow installation of any software, not just store software. Only windows RT restricts software installs and your drivers on a USB will not function on windows RT due to it being an ARM device and the drivers being for x86. And why use a batch file to copy another file, isnt that what Control-C and Control-V are for
[Windows 8 General] nightfire37:
My dad wanted to me to come up with a solution to make the job easier and so i did and the guys that supposed to be helping the guys in the field that do this kind of stuff arent helping at all and inside the corporation, there are people that can barely know how to open up emails, let alone run an app but they cannot install or look onto the Local Disk because they will get lost and not understand it. i fully understand the differences of RT and the x86 versions of Windows 8. The machines my dad works on are x86 based. I did mess around with it and i was not happy at all with the changes Microsoft has done to it. I will never understand Microsoft's move to make there OS a touch screen based computer when almost every single computer that OEMs sell do not have touch screens. I'm getting off topic but anyways thanks for telling me this guys.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Frankly, if you're just copying a couple of files whose names you know, and they aren't directories and don't need special attributes applied, you may as well just use the old "copy" command. As in,

copy thefile1.sys, thefile2.inf, thefile3.cab C:\thedestfolder\

You can make it a bit more specific if you want to handle things like the case where the file already exists, or the destination folder does not... but the basic form is very simple. For help, you can use

copy /?
[Windows 8 General] nightfire37:
but dont you still need to worry about the drive letters?
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
copy "%~dp0CHANGEME1.ext" "%~dp0CHANGEME2.ext" "%~dp0CHANGEME3.ext" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\path\to\folder\on\host\OS\drive\"

This only works from a batch file (It will produce erratic results if ran from a plain command prompt), and you can test what it will send as paramaters by putting an 'echo' before the 'copy'. It will use absolute paths to the files in the same dir as the batch script, in case the working directory is not as expected (such as if it is ran as admin).

Here is the output on my system:

C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\test>test.bat

copy "C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\test\CHANGEME1.ext" "C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\test\CHANGEME2.ext" "C:\Users\Nathan\Desktop\test\CHANGEME3.ext" "C:\path\to\folder\on\host\OS\drive\"
[Windows 8 General] stevedebi:
If you put the batch file in the same directory as the drivers, you can simply run it from there, providing only the file name as the first argument, and the target drive (should always be C:\Windows\System32 - or whatever).

copy AAAAAA.dll C:\Windows\System32

copy BBBBBB.dll C:\Windows\System32

copy CCCCCC.dll C:\Windows\System32

xcopy and robocopy are really meant for copying large numbers of files.

EDIT: The former post is correct, using %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32 would always find the system drive, even if it were not the C: drive. But I suspect the vast majority of computers are using C: as the system drive.
[Windows 8 General] netham45:
If you right-click on a .bat and run as admin it will change the current dir to System32, so your method won't work unless the user has UAC disabled/is an admin, or if they do some horrific permissions changes to System32 to allow it to run as a non-admin.
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
There are other instances where the logged dir isn't the same as the calling script, eg when you drag-drop files onto the script to be processed. Granted it's not the case here, but it's good practice to assume as little as possible for Win shell scripting (which survived mostly untouched from DOS). There are enough quirks in it to already drive you crazy.

Speaking of quirks, I prefer %~dps0 (or simply %~fs0) over %~dp0 because the console buffer can be exceeded in case of really long path names, which results in an error. The 's' switches to the old 8.3 short-name format and obviates this problem. It also avoids the problem of pathnames with UTF-8 characters, which some Win versions can't recognize (I'm not sure about Win7, but Win8 can handle UTF-8 in the console fine). File/pathname is the most common issue in Win shell scripting. Always use double-quotes to enclose them.
[Windows 8 General] stevedebi:
Most of my batch files use full paths, so I would not know. I just opened a cmd window as administrator, and it does go to system32. I never noticed that before.

I think then the best way to run would be to do a search for cmd (from the start menu), run it as administrator, and then change to the drive containing the batch file. From there it would execute.

Or try the other method described above.
[Windows 8 General] nightfire37:
thanks guys for this information. its much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gmann001:
Both my wife and I have the SG3 and we both use the stock Samsung Keyboard (because we like using Google voice). Within the last couple days, both of our phones were updated to 4.1.2. These phones are not rooted or anything else like that. The issue I have noticed is that when I type text (SMS, Email, etc) if I backspace and select a spell corrected word, then all of my text gets replaced.

Example... If I type the sentence "This is a teat sentence" and backspace all the way back to the last "t" of teat (just behind it), I will get the suggestion to replace with "test". When I select the word "test", then my whole sentence turns into "Thisteatteat".

In order to get this bad result, it seems like I have to use the backspace. Because if I stopped typing immediately after the word "teat" and selected the suggestion of "test" then everything works fine.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has seen this and if there might be a fix. I tried googling the internet for an answer and just haven't found anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gmann001:
Anybody have any thoughts?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ffc:
Does anyone know if there is a hidden menu on the XDA that is similar to the Network Monitor that can be enabled on Nokia Phones?

For exampl on Nokia phones when activated you can:

Carrier number

MS RX Level in DBM

Received signal quality

MS TX power level

C1 (Path loss criterion, used for cell selection and reselection). The range is -99 to 99.

RTL (Radio link timeout).

Timeslot

Indication of the transmitter status

Information on the Network parameters.

TMSI (Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity).

Cell identification (Cell ID, Number of cells being used).

MCC (Mobile country code)

MCN (Mobile network code)

LAC (Location area code)

Ciphering (On/Off)

Hopping (On/Off)

DTX (On/Off)

Discard cell barred information.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Peter Poelman:
We have been looking into this. All we know is that this is not low-hangiong fruit on the XDA. The information seems to be available inside the modem chipset only, and it seems like it's not communicated to the PDA part, or we haven't found the way to ask for it yet.

Either way: this frustrates us more than it could possibly frustrate any of you, so stay tuned. (But don't hold your breath...)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason4656:
ok so i have moved away from htc for the first time, not sure if it was a mistake or not but, i just cannot hear anyone on my experia z, i was at a conference at the weekend and trying to take a call somewhere busy is just impossible, i have tried all the settings, sound boost the only way i can hear someone is with them on loud speaker, and upside down.

I mean the only time i can hear my phone on normal speaker is if i am sat in a silent room, is there anyway *surely there must be?* to improve this, turn the volume up?

thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
Try a factory reset, if that doesn't work return the phone and get another one.

I don't have any problems like that (Or problems at all)

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason4656:
factory reset hasnt done anything, took it into shop and they claimed nothing wrong with it, cos you can hear someone when your in a quiet room, however, the quality to me is crap and the sound is very very quiet, nowhere near that of the previous htc but obviously if the place i got it think there is nothing wrong, then they wont change

Headphone speaker on XZ is very tiny and close to upper edge. Try to reposition your phone while taking a call, it dramatically improved my talk quality.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason4656:
thanks, my original question was, is there anyway to make it louder?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanndoth:
Speaker Boost. Or any similar app that works on JB(I can't find any yet). There's a small issue though. Sometimes it's not active even though it's supposed to be. In that case, just open the app again and it should be fine.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcgear:
Have you been into all the settings and tinkered about there are a good few options

Sorry miss read about you checked all settings
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpsauce37:
might seem stupid but you havent been showing off to all your friends your new 'waterproof' phone have you?

seen somewhere that when this has been done it can take a while for the speaker etc to dry out properly and quality is reduced....just a thought.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason4656:
hi, yes i have tried the enhancements they dont seem to do anything at all, i guess i could listen to a recorded message or voice mail with them on differently see if i can notice anything but to be honest, none of them were noticeable.

i have poured water on phone yes but it didnt make difference this has been bad since fri and the water didnt make any difference

i will try and find an app although when i looked couldnt see anything

speaker boost doesnt work, but thanks
[Off-topic] peikojose:
Days ago I installed "DD-WRT v24-sp2 (10/10/09) micro" in my Linksys WRT54Gv8 / GSv7. Everything was working fine. Good speed and coverage.

The problem I have is with uTorrent, I haven't been able to make it work while I want to browser the web.

It starts fine ( I can browser) but after some minutes, uTorrent keeps working and downloading fine, but I am not able of browing. Websites don't load! with any browser!

The only way to fix it, is disconnecting and connecting again the router! But if I leave open again uTorrent the same happens.

I have tried almost everything!!

I have tried so many options in "IP Filter Settings", and nothing!

Can someone please helpme!

I didn't have that problem using the stock firmware!

I believe its loud volume mod kinda hack...i remember it being there as.a mod in foxhound rom installation settings...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uf21:
You don't know what the loud volume hack is? I thought it was a pretty popular mod.

It basically just replaces the default_config file with another edited one and makes the phone twice as loud.

Just the problem is its not working on one of my friends phone. It's worked on mine (i9300) and a workmates (i9305) but it's not working on my friends i9305.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
It will work if its the default gain file and has actually replaced the existing file .

Or just edit it yourself .

Suggest you ask in the louder vol hack thread if its a known problem .

Hi there,

I too cannot get the volume hack (editing default_gain.conf file) to work (originally here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1722136).

I think its because I have an I9305 (SIII LTE), and the hack only works on I9300.

Hey all,

Nexus 4, complete stock. I've been playing around with my location settings and cannot figure out why GPS will ALWAYS keep running regardless of my settings. The GPS Timer will keep ticking up no matter what, even force closing Maps application.

Settings -> Location Access

Settings -> Google account -> Location settings -> On/off

Maps -> Settings -> Location Settings -> Uncheck all / Not reporting

Only solution I've found is to restart my phone, anyone else experience this or know how to fix it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesInsights:
Go to settings > Location access make sure everything there is unchecked and/or turned off.

If your problem still persists, you can use Greenify from the play store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify

This helps to stop GMaps from running in the background.

If you rather not root or your problem still persists you should try doing a factory reset.

If all else fails, RMA!

Good luck :)

After themeing almost 99% of all the Samsung system apks, I am stuck.

I am trying to change all blue images/ text, well eveything that is blue to green for all apks, these are the 3 that are driving me crazy and I just cant seem to find.

1. Is in the ClockPackage.apk

I cant find the xml that controls the blue color of the selected text above.

2. Next is when you crop a picture, I have looked all through SecGallery2.apk and SamsungCamera.apk

I cant find the xml to change the bars of the crop square...

3. Is the SamsungCamera.apk, I have gone through every file located in res, and cant find how to make the text in the menus green.

Looked through all files, to get rid of blue text, can't find what controls it. Please help!

I have looked and looked, I must be missing something...
