[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Some very good starting points provided within XDA so you can get an understanding of basics before diving head first into device specifics:

http://xda-university.com/

Android Development and Hacking

Get familiar with github and understand how to navigate it and find things within it.

And of course you can look in the device specific Development Sections. (Hint: Go to the old posts when the sections were first started and you'll find "discovery" threads. Meaning when people were figuring out how to do "x" on this phone for the first time.)

Also, get into each dev thread and read through them. Often you'll find Easter eggs of hints and tricks since sometimes info is buried.

Remember to start at the basics. Starting at the wrong point will lean you toward skipping the fundamentals and you won't know why you're running a command, you'll just know you have to.. I always like knowing the whats and why's.

It takes time. Good luck.

waaaaaaaaaaarghhhh i bought xperia acro s last year in december 2012, and today, 27/3/2013

i just realised that my xperia acro s made in china in the box, is this just the same as everyone else?

or mine is china made?! i bought it just like the original price. :crying:

look at the attach files, please :crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Yes my ion also was manufactured in China..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SonyXperiaFan:
is this normal, because i want the original sony xperia acro s, not china
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mharckk:
i think you shouldnt be worried,

cause my XS too is made in china. but it doesnt mean its not the original one :D.

dont be a racist.hahaha.. :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SonyXperiaFan:
some people said anything that is "made in china" is not good
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] auni:
They are wrong, These days most Manufacturers like HTC, SAMSUNG, SONY, LG are producing there units in China. All these brands have their own manufacturing plants in China.

The reason is because that the manufacturing cost is very competitive/ low in countries like China, Vietnam etc.

And if you search the market then you would find that most of the devices these days are made in China. And all of them are Grade 1 product.

btw, I am not Chinese :silly:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Onionstrike:
Almost every current smartphones are assembled in China, this is far from surprising. It doesn't mean that you bought a knockoff either.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sarkissmae:
mr. auni is right. most of the devices now are made in china because of the very cheap labor cost. even iphone is made in china. even if your phone is made in china, it doesn't mean that it is not original. it is just manufactured in china because of the very cheap labor.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] abcdjdj:
Absolutely right. 100% true.

I bought my XS in Hong Kong, also made in China

but in China's Mainland, it spends RMB ￥4000 to buy a XS in the offical shop , when I bought my phone for a RMB ￥2500 or less in Hong Kong

i think it's too inexplicability that buy a phone from the place of production are more expensive than i bought abroad...

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Homey:
OK, this may just be a Pocket PC thing rather than a specific XDA II thing but I'm not sure.

Can anyone tell me if their XDA is learning frequently used words that are not in it's dictionary. For example, my name's Ravi and after a couple of weeks of typing emails, letters etc all ending '... Ravi', it's still not learnt the word. All it suggests is 'Ravaged' (!!)

This morning, I got a bit fed up of this so I created a note and typed in 'Ravi' about 100 times and guess what, it still doesn't learn it.

Is there a trick to getting the dictionary to learn new words or is it just my name it can't stand !!

Maybe someone else can try this and see if it works !

Ravaged
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ashby:
Ravi,

Did you ever sort this out?

I would love to enter a few words (including my name!) in to the database

Check out Fitaly. 60 days trial. You will be able to build own shortcuts. And I think it's a much faster SIP then the others.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] tadzio:
I'm not sure if the XDA learns new words by itself, but you can add words. Not sure if there's a simpler way, but this (rather complicated one) works:

- open any transcriber-aware application

- write the word you want to add, using keyboard or transcriber

- mark (highlight) the word

- switch to transcriber; if the second row of icons is not visible, tap on the hand icon

- tap on the icon with the red check mark to open the "corrector window" (not sure if this is the correct translation for "Korrekturfenster" :-)); the highlighted word will appear in the new window

- double-tap anywhere inside the word.

- in the menu that (hopefully) comes up, chose "add to dictionary" ("Dem Wörterbuch hinzufügen")

Voila, you're all set!

But please be careful - I didn't yet find a way to remove words from the dictionary... :-)

Cheers

Daniel
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ashby:
many thanks,

ashby
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Homey:
Never sorted it out - everyone I spoke to said that the OS doesn't add new words. I'm just about to buy Calligrapher - I tried the demo and it's amazing - I'm not sure that this feature is available on this program either though. I guess I've just given up adding new words but I will try Daniel's method outlined above.

BTW I tried Fitaly and what the hell were they thinking ? Is it supposed to be an easier input method than what we have already or is it just designed to fry your brain ?!!

TenGo's pretty decent though !

thanks all

I've been trying out custom kernels on couple of different roms with little to no luck. I've tried Meanrom v3.09 with ElementalX kernel versions 3.3 and 4.1 beta and I can't get the rom to boot. I've tried Arc reactor with Blues and Jazz V1.7 and I can't get the settings to stick for all versions. At this time, I am on Meanbean V3.09 and flashed Arc Reactor V03 maxoc and this is what kernel tuner is showing

Am I flashing the kernels incorrectly? I have my rom flashed and I wipe cache/delvick cache and flash the kernel, follow instructions on AROMA and wipe caches again before rebooting. Than I go into kernel tuner to check the settings and I even change the settings and reboot hoping for the settings to stick. They don't and they look like the picture above

Thanks for any help guys.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Aganar:
So a few days ago I noticed by phone was off when I woke up, even though I had plugged it into the outlet. When I turned it on, it promptly drained the whole battery within an hour. If I left it on the charging stand, eventually it overheated and turned off.

I thought perhaps the battery was to blame (the thing spinned like a top on my table), so I bought some Anker batteries off Amazon, which arrived today. Having let them charge and put them in, I'm running into exactly the same problem--this thing is dropping battery like mad and the back feels hot.

I'm noticing now with CPU Spy that for the 20 minutes it's been on, 78% of it has been in 1200mhz mode. That's definitely not good. That might explain what it causes it to overheat. Despite having BetterBatteryStats, I can't figure out what is causing the processor to be stuck at max frequency like that. I've taken a look at the "Running Apps" and I don't see anything out of the normal, except for the fact that I see a handful of apps like Youtube, Evernote, Maps, and a few others pop up and then disappear from the Running Apps screen.

Any suggestions as to what I should do? I'm making sure my Titanium backup is up to date and am going to try a data wipe and reflash the my ROM.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Teekay1:
Hello everyone,

A device of mine fell into the hands of someone whom I'd rather it didn't. This person is computer literate enough to try something. I have encrypted my phone, which is running CM10.1 (an android 4.2.1 variant), and have employed a password (not a pin code).

I wonder how secure the encryption function is. From poking around the net, I've learned that if one can obtain access to the phone's system partition, one can grab the password database/hash, desalt it, and run a brute force on it. This is assuming that one can get into the phone and grab that file, which is not possible from recovery at least (mount operations are apparently protected by encryption). My bootloader is unlocked. I wonder how worried I need to be.

Note that I'm not asking for instructions on how to crack through a phone's password screen; I'm merely asking if it would be possible so that I can know how secure my data is. What do you guys think?

Cheers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manasgirdhar:
If you had Enabled USB Debugging then he can easily get access to your Files.He Just needs to pull them on his computer which is very much possible.Or if you had a custom recovery he can create a Nandroid and then get access.But if you dont have a Custom recovery or USB Debugging enabled then it should be hard but not impossible.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Teekay1:
Hi, thanks for that.

I flashed ClockWorkMod recovery so that I could flash ROMs to the phone. It's possible to reboot into the recovery menu, but because it's encrypted, there's no way to mount the USB storage and push files to the phone. If USB debugging is disabled, would it suffice to keep CWM on the phone?

Doesn't it say that you are connected with a little 'gprs' in the top left hand corner of the screen?

If it does hold the stylus on the symbol and uncheck the gprs line that is checked.

one silly way that works with XDA I and not sure it does with XDA II. Press and hold the RED phone button till the phone is off. Then turn it on again and don't perform any GPRS action ... It will stay off :roll:

Anyway, if it doesn't cost too much, I like the "always connected" feature :D

With the XDA II you hold down the end button fo 3 seconds to disconnect GPRS.. it doesn't turn off the phone (only way to do that is tap on the connection icon, and hit turn wireless off.
