[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Putrid186:
Successfully rooted my device from 2.2.1 after referencing the multitude of disaster tutorials to finally discover a process that would work.

After flashing ESPRIMG, booting into recovery and loading up ClockworkMod Recovery (v 5.0.2.6) I performed the following steps in order:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

installed cyanogenmod

installed gapps

mounted SD card and made older ClockworkMod Recovery (2.5.0.7) update.zip

rebooted back into recovery and loaded ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7

installed the newest radio

rebooted

However it appears that gapps did not install. I have no market, no voice search, no gmail, no youtube, nothing. I attempted to install again from all 3 possible sources: CW 2.5.0.7, CW 5.0.2.6, and the stock recovery. All show successful installation, yet none complete.

It almost seems like the %$&!# protection is re-writing /system every time the apks are moved there. Help! :crying:

Edit: I used this reference and attempted again. However, using root explorer, even when the "Mount R/W" appeared to be successful, whenever I copied a file into any folder in /system, it would not show up. If I try to create a new folder within /system, it says it fails. This further reinforces my idea that /system is being locked down. WHY? Why in god's name is this happening on Cyanogen?

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] meatydoom:
If I had to choose between the two phones, I would choose the S4. The HTC One's issues with battery life is my biggest concern. I am probably not going to get either phone as my contract doesn't end till June 2014. If I was going to upgrade I was thinking about getting the Blu Life One, it is half the price, comes unlocked and there is no overlaying OS on top of Android.

While the one looks impressive, after having 3 HTC phones and **** support for all 3 including the major issues devs have had with the devices I'm def going Samsung next.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirosaw2:
Hello There

I Have a Galaxy S2 I9100G Bricked

The Phone Not Starting When It's Not Connected to Power Source .. When I Press On The Power Button Nothing Happen .. Just When It's Connected to Power Source (Charger or USB) it's Starting but Not Booting .. I Can See The Logo Then it's Enter Something Called #Manual Mode#

And Stuck There for 3 Sec and Restarts Again in The Same Way.

I Can't Enter The Recovery Mode or Download Mode or Anything ..

When I Connect it To The USB it Just Do The Same .. Odin Can't Detect it.

I Tried to Put it into The Download Mode While it's Connected to The Charger and The USB .. But This is Not Working.

As I Said Before #THE PHONE IS COMPLETELY DEAD WITHOUT ANY POWER SOURCE#

I Need Help

I don´t know any sd-slot based gps-module.

Why you don´t use a serial connected gps?

If you want to use it in a car you need an gps near the windows or outside the car for a good satellite connection

Hi Alex-Zero,

thank you for answering my question.

I'm actually looking for a more portable device, because I need to use it meanwhile I'm walking in the street.

That's why I'd prefer a "single" object, like a mobile phone with a slot in gps, and not a mobile phone wired to a periferal...

Did you finally obtain a Pharos’ Pocket GPS Navigator SDIO and did it work ok with the XDA II. I am thinking of getting one and it would be good to know someone who has bought one and is pleased with it. Steve
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Old Man:
Hi,

I'm sorry I didn't buy it yet. I sent to them an email, asking for information, regarding specifically the XDA II, but they didn't reply !!!

I will keep in touch if something would arise on this matter... will you?

ciao ciao
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] Steve Grunnill:
If I buy one I will let you know if it works ok. At the moment I am undecided between Bluetooth GPS and the SD GPS. SD GPS will leave me with no memory expansion and Bluetooth is possibly still a problem although I believe that Towas has a patch that makes it work ok. If anyone is using Tom Tom Navigator 2 Bluetooth aith the XDA II and got it working OK, I would love to hear from them. Does anyone know if using a Bluetooth GPS will still allow use of a Bluetooth Handsfree Car Kit like the Parrot CK3000, at the same time i.e. using 2 Bluietooth devices witn the XDA II simultaneously?

Best regards Steve

Will they request the original spen when we claim warranty?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Pretty sure losing something doesn't fall under standard warranty. I think you can get a new spen for 30$
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bigjim1488:
It's worth a try to ask I guess. If not you can buy a replacement on amazon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Intub8:
they will send you a replacement first, the replacement should not come with an s pen so they will not expect one back. It also will not come with a battery, backplate or charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ReggieSmith:
So you LOST the spen and want to file a warranty claim as opposed to just buying a replacement from Amazon?? Too funny... good luck with that...

Fyi.. they check the contents on the back end so when the pen is missing they will charge you for it and who knows what inflated price you'll get hit with.

Hi, I'm getting a galaxy s3 tomorrow. I was just wondering if someone would give me a run down of anything I should know. My last phone was an inspire 4g. I don't know what a modem is. I was wondering what people are talking about "tripped flash counter" is it important? What is it? Any thing else like that, it would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the the dark side!!! Well the tripped flash counter is a Samsung can check to see how many times your flashed a non Samsung kernel on the phone using Odin or heimdall. Its important to have it at 0 if your sending your phone back to Samsung for repairs or if your exchanging for a new one with att.you can look up chainfire on xda. He has a app call triangle away which is can reset the flash counter.if you find his thread on xda he explains the flash counter a lot better. The only other important things I believe you should know is you can flash some T-Mobile galaxy s3 roms (search the thread to make sure tho), as you may know every phone is different so some kernels may work for you others may not and the root method is different from HTCs so read the stickes and theards or find a update to date video on how to root. I hope you enjoy this beast of a phone!!! Once again welcome
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] trh1341:
Thanks alot! I have one more question. The "casual" root method..will that install cwm or twrp or 4ext? And lind of recovery? Or dobi need to do that separately?

Look over the link in my signature. It can guide you from start to finish and ensure that you cover all your bases as safely and smoothly as possible.

Unlike your HTC you have to try really hard to brick a Samsung phone...other than that make backups of your EFS, IMEI, and keep a nandroid of rooted stock ROM on hand and you are good to go. Like more Galaxy S phones its fairly fool proof and if something happens you can get out of it. Don't flash anything for the international version. I prefer TWRP for recovery because its user interface is a lot better but to each there own.

Okay, I am sure this has been talked to death by some people here....but....I have been trying to get WIFI Tether to work between my HTC One S (rooted TMO) and Wifi Galaxy Note 10.1, no such luck until tonight. Now it WORKS!

I have spent days searching threads and everyone had the same advice, go with Barnancle or Foxfi....I downloaded both...Barnancle never would run right and I could never see it on my Tablet. Foxfi...well, after I read that I had to download stuff to the tablet, I gave up on using it. So, back to square one....Wifi Tether has worked for the IPOD and I decided to give it another try....

I went the route of downloading Google Chrome to my HTC

I downloaded User Agent Switcher Chrome addon and changed User to XOOM

I then started Wifi Tether made sure my setting was Generic ICS(JB)

I also checked on Routing Fix

Then restarted Wifi Tether

The tablet recognized it and connected!!!!!!!!!

I was able to access the internet!

Now, here is my question.....What am I missing?....This seemed to easy and I fear I am missing something, am I supposed to run Chrome on the Tablet? User Agent Switcher on the Tablet, too?....Keep Google Chrome open on HTC while WiFi Tether is connected?...These are the details I never found answers to....

Otherwise, do I just turn on Wifi Tether and connect my Tablet as I would to any Wifi?....and this should be the usual process... I spent so long looking for an answer I feel that this is too easy of a solution, not that I want it to be more complicated :).

I don't use tethering too much, but it comes in handy when trying to keep the kids quiet in non child friendly places.

Any advice would be great. Thanks:fingers-crossed:
[HTC One S] lampel:
I believe tmous gives a courtesy 200MB now before they redirect you to buy a tether plan. And their new price tiers include 500MB with the option to buy more. Wouldn't be surprised if they're allowing it to get people used to it so if/when they lock it down more people will buy it.
