as far as i know XDA v1.2 will not touch your Radio, it will just replace your old CE ROM with the new one which has lots of cool stuff.

Newbie question on upgrading please

Hi,

I've just run the EXE upgrade from http://www.ali.nildram.co.uk/xda/ and it worked great. I don't quite understand about the RADIO UPGRADE (ie. 4.20.00 and 4.21.00). Are theses meant to be separate upgrades? Do I need to run them separately?

I am in Canada, with AT&T. Will I be able to run the radio upgrades without causing any problem? Thanks!

Mikie

Do you know if this will work on a UK o2 model. I persume that the only difference between the different providers devices is the outer casing?

Cheers,

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Rudegar:
if you install an American radiostack i think your device will try to

use 900/1900 GSM insted of 900/1800 this could cause your phone to stop working all that well
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] xda-rocks:
I installed the OS via SD card and it works fine with Radio version 4.21.00 on O2 XDA
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] luke:
How would i do that? Do you mean that you installed the os to your SD care. Or you ran the rom upgrade .exe from your SD card. If it was the later could i ask what the benefit are or the reason for installing from SD?

Does ali's upgrade also back up the old rom. i'm kinda of worried that if the upgrade fails i have wrecked my xda. If not do you know how i can back up?

Sorry bout all the questions, i have searched but could not find anything device specfic.

I currently have:

ROM VER:3.17.03 ENG

RADIO VER: 4.21.00

PROTO VER:32S54

Cheerz,

Luke
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] luke:
*Ok Update

Found out abit more now. I have wallaby 5.14 so i backed up CE OS to SD. Now when i reset the XDA with SD card in the unit and start the bootloader it Prompts for SD download Card type:CE OS

I have ali's PROGRAMME A V1.09 exe file. If i go ahead and upgrade the rom and its does not work can i restore my old rom using the above "SD download Card type:CE OS" option.

Does Ali's exe upgrade or affect the bootloader in anyway. Do i have to change any links that point towards the active partition, or does the upgrade look after that? In other words if i was to restore the old rom from the bootloader would it also reconifgure the bootloader to tell it where to boot to i.e the restored rom?

Sorry to keep asking so much, its just theres now way i can afford to buy a new XDA!??!!

Many Thanks,

Luke

[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] DdcCabuslay:
How couldnt you extract the app from the zip? And isn't it better to post it on his thread rather than starting a new one?
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] blakstar:
What I mean is that if you extract it and install it NORMALLY, it won't install.

I didn't post it on his thread because there are a lot more people that posted this app as a flashable zip, as you can see on his thread, he probbly didn't port it by himself, so it's not his app :)

I agree with you except for the part about plastic. I don't really care what it's made of as long as it has the other features - but plastic is certainly the easy way to go in that regard.
[General Topics] bar_rodoy:
Totally agree with you. I have the Galaxy Nexus, which doesn't have expandable storage and it suck sometumes to have only 16gb. I don't like cloud storage, if you are on the go you need to download on 3g and it takes a lot of battery life.
[General Topics] JayDroid412:
The SD card thing is beyond me but the battery I can live with
[General Topics] Chromium:
just a question for people with phones without a removable battery...is it ever an issue that when your phone freezes and is completely unresponsive that you cant do a battery pull?

i have an old htc desire and in multiple situations (flashing roms, stuck on boot, bootloop etc), the phone will completly freeze, and the only solution is to do a battery pull and restart the phone.

so if one of these phones without a removable battery froze, what would you do?
[General Topics] Pennycake:
There's usually a button combination to hard reset so it's not usually an issue.
[General Topics] rickerbilly:
agreed. must have both. I have a 64gb in my Note 2. plenty of room for electronic hoarding. ;)

[General Topics] shashivydyula:
I guess some companies are trying to give competition to iphone by making mobiles with non removable battery and no sd card.

as per my personal opinion even I don't like this kind of feature. A removable battery is very much essential for people who go on for long journeys. They can replace the dead battery with charged one.

Regarding SD card, this will be a blow to people having interest in photography, watching videos and playing lot of games.

Anyone have or know what's that Facebook (build 140579) is? Just popped up awhile ago
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VernonG:
Yeah, mine's doing the same thing on my s3. It's annoying and I can't get rid of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pallain:
mine too

Rezound and I even uninstalled facebook. Still trying
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] begadkepat:
I got rid of it by long-pressing on it, going to App Info, and force-stopping the service. I don't know what it was, but I didn't like it.

EDIT: It was actually Downloads, not Facebook, that I ultimately force-stopped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicoydg:
The same thing just happened to me with my VZW Galaxy Nexus, stared at about 3pm EST, can't figure out how to get rid of it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michaelo147:
I held the notification until it said App info, then it took me to the download manager where I did a 'force stop' and then it went away.....then came back : /

but then I cleared the download manager data and it seemed to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pallain:
THANKS worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abhinavseth92:
Ya even I had such an issue on my s3.... what I did to stop is:

1.Get into settings

2. Application manager

3. Openn Download manager

4. Clear data and then force stop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bob_Beard:
Ditto

Yeah, same here. Pretty fishy since I don't have auto updates turned on. Just noticed it running in my notifications. I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S2 (Epic 4 G Touch) on Sprint. This thread was the only mention of "Facebook (build 140579)" that Google turned up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nicoydg:
That worked for me! Thanks begadkepat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paradox35:
Forced stop dl manager and clear data worked here. Odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mannyloona:
Looks like it has something to do with Google Music app. When I force quit it, it stopped my music. When I kicked my music back on, it started trying to download it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droid-Eye:
It's the Download Manager

The app you're Force Stopping is Download Manager. Among other things, it handles the streams for music, video, etc. That's why it's affecting (and being affected by) apps like Play Music.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cerides:
Same on my DNA. I did the force stop on the download manager as well. Facebook must just be screwing with our privacy again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kick069:
same thing just happened on my s3, i let it do whatever it was for a few but then decided to clear the data and force stop. Odd little thing no one seems to know what its doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SanDiegoSteve:
Same issue on Motorola Admiral (rooted).

Clearing the data on the Download Manager got rid of it (didn't force stop).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluizzo:
Sorry for the lateness. But yea I did the same thing and it stopped for me. It's weird too cuz when I checked the download app, there was no source

auto-updates are not turned on. What is this ****?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
This is a behind-the-scenes update that Facebook is pushing to the Facebook app. Unfortunately it's not properly downloading for everyone so just go into your app drawer, select Downloads app, select Other Downloads tab, check the facebook download from that list and select to delete it. Hopefully it will push a working update at a later time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gillgrylls:
Update

got home and as soon as my WIFI kicked in it started downloading. Tapped on it and it took me to a screen saying that i need to upgrade to the newest build as the old one is no longer supported and gave a blue button to install the new build.

New version is 2.2.1-g2. Others since last week have reported getting this notification and it installed 2.2.1-g1 on their phones. I would guess this has something to do with the new timeline features they mentioned on the news last week. I did notice when recieving a message a dark gray box up top displays the users profile pic and name as well as the message. Cosmetically nothing new but obviously some new features.

Still very odd that this Facebook update came as a notification rather than a Google Play update. None of my other apps have notified me in this manner. Oh well all seems well so no real reason to be alarmed. I would guess!! lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2xtreme:
Yup, have to DL via wifi. As soon as I turned it on it downloaded the update for the FB app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shchiam1978:
Thanks for the info. Will try it when i saw the update again as i delete it from download manager the moment i saw it come back.

But i didn't connect to Wifi earlier.

cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sambahb:
I have this too. Even after killing it, it will turn up again. I hope it is not some kind of malware.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faxman:
I see lots of conjectures and theories here and on the web, but nothing official from Facebook to explain this odd behavior (and nothing saying it isn't them). I think I'll hold off until it becomes clearer and am advocating the same to friends and family. Not worth the risk.

Facebook 2.3

i think facebook push a limited test to random people.

I'm one of the early adopters of New News Feed they've just launched and enabled in my fb account already

so i think they've chosen me to test out new Facebook app in android.

One evidence i found is i've unpacked the fb4a_new.141046.apk file which i've found they've been downloaded into sdcard (one of the deep folders, and i've forgot the exact path. i'm using Astro File Manager).

I've inspect the AndroidManifest.xml and found that is is version as 2.3 and current latest version is 2.2.1

and their version control meta data in xml shows that it is set for release on March 18

<meta-data android:name="com.facebook.versioncontrol.branch" android:value="releases/release-fbandroid-2013.03.18" />

GS3: Sprint: Avatar Rom

Yes, same for me as everyone else except mine says build 144481.

I suppose it's not quite clear at this point exactly what this is... but, if this is indeed Facebook pushing an update this way (and I'm pretty sure that is the case) then they have one hell of a nerve. Every other app goes through official Play Store. Oh, Facebook is so damn special they make up their own rules. They know quite well that certain people would see this behavior and react just as we have in this XDA thread. They don't care.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eickmeye:
Installed the update

The version being pushed to me was also build 144481. I turned on WiFi and it downloaded in about a minute, then I received the following screen:

"Upgrade Now (with a Cancel option to the right)

- Change your profile picture.

- Hide stories and report spam in News Feed.

- Fewer taps to start a group message.

- Get app updates automatically over WiFi."

Followed by two buttons: "Install new build" and "Retry download."

The text continues: "When the download finishes, open your notifications tray or the Downloads app to install it." Followed by a button "Uninstall app."

So apparently this update is being sent out automatically over WiFi, then, per the 4th upgrade "feature," we will continue to see these in the future. I installed the build 144481 and it took me from FB version 2.2.1 (application size 20.27 MB) to version 2.3 (application size 21.24 MB).

Just remove your battery, plug the fone to the computer through USB, you will hear some sound repeating from computer, so open devices and printers you will see Omap device appearing and disappearing, just click right on it you will get properties, so inside open drivers, inside the opened pop-up windows click on change settings, so now go click on up-date drivers, don't let Windows choose it for you, click on the second one when inside the pop-up click on floppy disk it will let you pick drivers from where you put it on your computer it should be this one usb_drv_windows,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] default159:
I have ported a rom t-mobile from the N7100. Almost everything seems to work as intended, with the only issue being those that are recognized in the original rom. Data is even working.. To an extent. My baseband and imei are present, data is visible and showing that is connected to t mobile, and displaying 3g-h+. I can receive calls and texts, use the web, and download things. However, I can not make calls myself, or send texts. Calls just hang at the dial, and texts just fail.

I do still get the 'insert sim to access network' upon reboot (even though I have done the steps to unlock the phone via the dialer). But that can't be the problem as the network is actually recognized, right?

Any suggestions?

I have tried flashing the t mobile modern again also, with no luck.

And his thread that got closed sounded more like a complaint about the lack of kernels rather than a contributing discussion.

To OP, kernels are harder to build than roms, it's not surprising that you'll see less kernels than roms. To be honest, there are great kernels out there for this device already, like saber, persus.

If you really think that we need another kernel, then feel free to build another one. I would be excited to see what you can build.

Geocoder is what weather service you pick to figure out your physical location, there all different, some don't show all small cities or towns, while others do. Fancy Widgets has the ability to use the weather channel for weather, and google for geocoder, or use weather channel as weather and weather channel for geocoder, and so forth. For me the weather channel geocoder finds smaller cities and towns that Accuweather does not.
