I was looking through one of these "Rom Kitchen" sites and noticed there was mention of a bug in WM 2003 in regards to resets getting slower and slower as time goes on.

Well I installed the tmobile 4.00.21 from Yorch yesterday, and just curious if this is an issue I will be facing? Any ideas on how to determine if this is an issue I need to resolve and any tips on resolving it?

Hey XDA,

Is there a way to port the blocking mode from the SII or the S3 firmware. I don't know if it is in the S3 Mini.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] downloadonlyaccount:
AW: [Request]Blocking mode (S3, SII)

what is blocking Mode btw?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Sami Kabir:
Blocking mode is a feature evolved from the disable all notifications feature found on ICS and Honeycomb devices. It is a cool feature that allows you to block calls and other notifications without the need for Root access... Blocking Mode is useful in a number of ways especially turning off all notifications, calls and even SMS when you're asleep. It's a great way to conserve battery overnight when you need the phone least.

As far as I know, most Samsung Devices running Jellybean out of the box also has this feature...

Hi

any progress on this bro.. I tried a port from s3 mini a theme I could get blocking mode on the notification toggle when I long press it takes me there all option are there everything fine... but it doesn't work... any one know how to install it in firmware... I could manage only in system ui... means only visibility no functionality??
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] amitnv:
hi ppl

posting here after a long time..

to get blocking mode try this:

1.install a custom launcher like nova or apex

2. go to activities by long pressing on the home screen

3.navigate to settings or something like services

and i'm sure you'll find blocking mode there...!!
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] galaxyfitankit:
man you are genius :).... can we port on touch wiz bro
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] amitnv:
I know how to port this on touchwiz but I'm not free at the moment ...

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] amitnv:
no need to wait for me ...

i'm surrounded by loads of assignments..

u can try it out just add a toggle called blocking mode

and enable it using sql manager,,

u just need to change the value of blocking mode to 1 and reboot

hopefully it will work

in a similar manner i activated information ticker on my phone...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] galaxyfitankit:
done bro only was needed that 1 and 0 thing ported the toggle was not working all option used to come thanks that 1 I have to add...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] Jeroenvk94:
Where will the option be seeable? And where is that 0 u need to change into 1? I need blocking mode
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Themes and Apps] bobfrantic:
If you don't want to install a 3rd party launcher, go to google play and search for quickshortcutmaker. It has a search option that should find blocking mode. It found it on my phone and made a shortcut. Hope this helps some :)

[Microsoft Surface] BarrieSimpson:
Is there a programme to do this? I mean one installed on the Surface RT. I have a CD/DVD writer with external power supply that seems to work on the Surface but I put a cd in it and of course the format is not recognized.

Cheers,

[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Just go into My Computer, browse and copy the CD contents manually.
[Microsoft Surface] BarrieSimpson:
But Surface does not recognise the format.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Then you wont have any luck. Rip it on another machine, convert it to MP3 or WAV and then copy it across on a thumb drive or something.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
I'm not even sure a Windows Store app has the necessary access to do this. It should be possible using a ported Desktop app, but I'm not aware of any such app having been ported yet.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] hell_lock:
I had the same budget and these were the phones which I finalised:

Galaxy S advance:

Great phone but I dont like samsung build and wanted to try something new(it looks like Y)

Official support till JB but no dev support

Multimedia is bad

Closed source GPU

Desire X:

Same specs as s advance but with no front cam

Phone built for multimedia and has beats audio(original one)

Active dev support and the hardware is 100% opensourced

Official JB confirmed but no dates given by HTC

Xperia sola/go

Weird build

JB unconfirmed(I am not sure)

Closed source hardware

These are the best phones you can get in that range. I bought Desire X
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Imranabbas22:

[Nexus 7 General] kevin1961:
Hi. I was thinking if the Nexus 7 3G would be good as a replacement for my mobile phone. I have seen a few demos on youtube and obviously you would need a bluetooth hands free "In Ear" type, but what about whatsapp, sms messages, emails, etc does all this work well ?. Just interested to hear back from people. I think the battery would drain quick having to have data connected all the time as well as bluetooth for phone calls. Any feed back would be great. Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
There is no way to use as a phone yet, as it cannot receive true mobile calls like a phone can. Read the thread on this in the N7 3g dev section. Sms is working. For whatsapp, look in the themes and apps section of this forum, as there are install instructions. All the info you are looking for is already well documented and readily available right here in the n7 forum.
[Nexus 7 General] minnemike:
I just got myself a refurbed N7 on it's way... looking to do similar, but just for wifi.

From what I understand, since google voice and chat can pretty much replace a phone completely on my PC, I assume you should be able to do the same on a N7?

I tried to get google chat to work as a phone on my EEpad trandformer, but for that device there are serious hacks involved to get there.

I was hoping to user my T-Mobile sim with Vonage Mobile until I found out T-Mobile block data for this device (for prepaid sim). I will have to try Go Smart next month to see TMobile also block it through that. I don't want to use Straight Talk due to their throttling.

I use Viber instead of WhatsApp

Since not everyone is happy using non-free apps, I instead use Viber on my N7.

Just as with WhatsApp, you have to go to their website to download the apk, since it is marked as incompatible in the Play Store. Also, you can not have it active on your mobile and your N7 at the same time. Which is the same as with WhatsApp.

I also couple Viber with MightyText, so any regular SMS I get on my mobile, I can respond to on the N7. Of course, I can also send new SMS from the MightyText app on the N7, or from my computer.

What is everyone's opinion on how the call quality is using 3g I have good and bad.. a lot of echo problems and such? BC I have thinking of doing this as well but I was considering the n4
[Nexus 7 General] eksasol:
It depend on the app you use. I use Vonage and I don't get echo issues like with Google Voice's clients.

Also I just sucked it up and go with the T-Mobile Mobile Broadband $35/month for 3.5GB. Will just disable data on my Galaxy Nexus since I only use it to make calls now. But I also found tethering 3G from the Galaxy Nexus to the Nexus 7 with the screen off doesn't use up much battery and can go for hours.
[Nexus 7 General] lacoursiere18:
But can't you only call people that have vonage as well? I don't of anybody really that I would that has that... so it wouldn't be effective
[Nexus 7 General] eksasol:
I think PlayStore doesn't let you download Vonage on the Nexus 7, you'll have to download it from a phone then sideload it on the Nexus 7.

Using Vonage, can make free outgoing call within USA and Canada, it will use your actual phone number you activate the app with. It however do not receive incoming calls, unless the other side is also using Vonage.

Since the Nexus 7 do not have phone feature, when you activate Vonage on it, don't put in the "mobile number of your Nexus 7 sim card", put in your regular phone number, when you make outgoing calls it will display that number you activate it with to otherside, that way people can call you back to your phone.

Or if you want to receive incoming calls via Google Voice apps, then activate Vonage with your Google Voice number. I find that during activation process, when Vonage tries to sent an SMS text message with activation code to the Google Voice number, nothing will happen, but then you can select the option to receive the code via call, then shortly you will get a voice recording of the code if you log into your Google Voice account.

I like Vonage more because of better call quality and machines will recognize number inputs, which tend to fail through Google Voice's apps. Also Vonage allow free video calls now if both parties use Vonage app, though yet to be updated on iPhone version I think.

[Nexus 7 General] Dannyada1988:
Google Voice or Skype is very helpful to do the voice message.But for replacing the real phone, maybe we should expect the next generation supports phone calling just like the Asus padfone.
[Nexus 7 General] knucklehead_11:
I have the wifi only nexus. I use a wifi mobile hotspot for Internet. Call quality is good. Texting works great as well.

I work in the middle east and use line2 to keep in touch with friends and family in the US.

I've used Google voice in the past but call quality is not as good as line2. Line2 is well worth the money.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] impoverish:
I was wondering. You see, I have successfully installed a custom ROM and it is working really fine. Now, what I want is to explore more of it, knowing that it has lots of features in it. There are I think two interfaces in the same installer and I wonder if I have to flash it again with the same kernel, or if I have to wipe all data, format everything again in order to use a different interface but still using the same custom ROM.

Can I just run the installer again and choose a different interface? Will that make it work properly? Or do I have to wipe everything and start from scratch again? Thank you so much for your time in reading my question. I know I should not be writing this one here but I cannot post my questions to where my custom ROM is posted since I have not made at least 10 posts yet. I am sorry. I truly am.

This is not really an immediate question, still I thank you if ever you are to spare enough time to answer my questions. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mnishamk:
To reflash a rom based on the same base,(since in your case its the same one, its true)

you don't need to wipe anything, just wipe cache and dalvik though.

so your apps and data won't be lost
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] impoverish:
I did it! Thank you so much, again dear sir. :D what about if example there is an update to the custom ROM that I am using, do I only need to do that as well?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mnishamk:
Since the base of the rom is not changed, you need not do complete wipe

But if in the update, the dev changed the base(very unlikely) u'll have to wipe it.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] impoverish:
I see, I see. Thank you again, so much for helping me! :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slider112:
Hey folks,

Just a quick question I was hoping to get some clarification on:

Like many, I got the 4.2.2 OTA on Tuesday evening and everything went fine with the download and install. That being said, I'm having some signal issues that are a bit strange. For the most part the signal quality is fine. Not really having any connection issues, but I've noticed lower bars being shown overall. After doing some digging though I've determined that apparently 4.2.2 reports signal quality differently than 4.1.1 did... representing a much truer value based on dBm and not overly inflating things for constant 3-4 bars. Essentially it's like I remember way back with 4.0.2. I still find it a little odd that I can show -85dBm and only have 1 bar, but if that's how things are reported in 4.2.2 then so be it.

The thing that's bothering me though is this: at times my signal will read 0dBm 99asu. I'll have zero bars showing, but it will still show 4g in the notification bar and will say connected to the network in status. I can make calls, text, surf the web, download apps, even run speed tests without any problem (although not great numbers, they're not horrific either) Eventually bars and dBm "come back", but the amount of time for that to happen varies. Again, nothing seems to be affected by this, but it's just a little disconcerting to have happen.

So, has anyone else experienced this? Google searches show some talk of it but otherwise haven't turned up much. I've done a battery/SIM pull and that didn't change things. Is it possible something may have gone a bit sideways in the ota download? Was thinking a factory reset may help too but not looking forward to wiping my device only to find out this is pretty normal.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iLeopard:
It's possible that the OTA updated the baseband, please look into that as I'm not entirely sure. If that's the case, then it might just be that the new baseband is not suitable for your coverage area in which case I'd suggest you flash a previous release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slider112:
Thanks for the reply. I'll fully admit I'm not as up to snuff on this as others, so please correct me if I'm wrong... but the 4.2.2 OTA did in fact contain new radios from VZW, so shouldn't the baseband have been updated for everyone who took it?

Mine is: I515.10 V.FK01/I515.FK02

As I understand it that breaks down to phone model (I515), HW rev 10, with the new radios being FK01/FK02

Wouldn't every VZW GNex that was on the 4.2.2 OTA have the same baseband; outside of having either HW rev 9 or 10?

Currently I'm locked, stock, not rooted... yeah, probably one of the last ;) Thinking I may unlock and root and try the 4.1.1 radios again. Do I need TWRP or CWM to flash those or can that be done if I keep stock recovery?

As always thanks for all input, much appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
My Gnexus is the same . but despite that it actually performs better oddly enough
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
Do/can you update roaming (*228) with the Verizon nexus? Or is that just something I could do with my old fascinate (yes, a fascinate and then nexus... I am a glutton for VZW punishment).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slider112:
You can, but as far as I know you'll then have what is considered a 3G PRL pushed to your phone, something beginning with "5"... if you just let the PRL update and push on it's own like it's supposed to you'll have a 4g PRL, and will begin with a "1" Both work the same and pick up both 3G/4G signals...not sure what the true difference is honestly. I've been on 15192 for ages now and it's been fine up to this point... Think I'd just as soon keep it. Thanks for the suggestion though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
I Read some where online. That if you take out the Sim card let it for like a minute or so. Slap it back in and there you go. It work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slider112:
Yeah, did that... battery pull and sim card pull... left it out for 30 min then back in... no difference. Like I said, it's not that I'm having a huge problem with my data connection, it's just acting... strange... kind of all over the place. Lots of fluxuation, odd readings/bar equivalents, and the whole 0dbm 99asu thing with still being connected. However I've also now started seeing higher than normal "time without signal" percentages... Just flakey. And frustrating... no issues at all until the 4.2.2 ota.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 4151041:
mine is not really a problem but I had way more bars of coverage in a multitude of places (work, home, gym, etc) on the old radios. I havent looked at the dbm's but visually it's different. might be something for someone interested to look into.

btw, im in fresno, ca.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wh1t3Rose:
Well Google changed how the signal is read visually through the bars to provide a more accurate reading. You should look at dbm

Toro | Xylon | Diamond
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Having the same experience here (Whidbey Island, Washington) where the 4g signal clings on until it absolutely had to fall back to 3g. New radios may be contributing, but the change in coding to report lower signals may have improved the ability to hang on to a 4g signal. Hand off seems pretty slick too, but that's likely a function of the new radios that came in the OTA.
[Nexus 4 General] CodemasterRob:
This is a thread where you can post your experience with Nexus 4 repairs. Please include the damage that your phone has had, the time it took LG to repair/process your phone, the cost of the repair, and if you received a new model, refurbished model, or your own phone back.

I'm creating this based on the different stories I've read on how LG repairs phones, and based on the returns other have gotten. I also am curious as to if there is a universal replacement price, or if they price it based on damage. My initial impression is that the standard for repair is $140, and they either send a replacement device back and refurbish your old N4 for resale or they send you someone else's refurbished phone.

Note: This is will help others and myself determine the pricing for repairs and if a home repair is more cost effective. I recently got deep scratches on the front and back of my from from a passer-by, so I'm in that situation where a price would be good to know without sending it in.
