how strange ...

the DB is only 40Mb ... this fits on 10% of my stamp size SD card ...

and yet, with just 2500 db-access (and how many posts? probably 100kb)

we get Giga bytes of traffic....

Just think how wasteful we're with current technology....

This goes double for a Pocket PC with two wireless communications,

100's of Mb of data, 400Mhz cpu ... and all that it does is displaying

who is calling your phone :-)

Hmmm ....

[About XDA developers] Peter Poelman:
Looks

No worries: this is temporary. There will be some proper design-work done on the entire site.

This is a good opportunity to say "Thank you" to Mario Giambanco, whose ideas and kind offer to work on the site prompted me to do some cleanup first, which resulted in the changes you see. Between him, myself, and hopefully some other volunteers we can now start to do a major overhaul concerning the looks and stale content of the main site.

The new 'main site' is going to be database-generated (from the phpBB database), and will have at least 'News' and 'FAQ' pages, pointing to topics on the forum. This will mean the 'main site' will be much more of an up-to-date tribute to the collective work of all of you on the forum, instead of a somewhat stale collection of some cool stuff we did way back. Creating layout in the way we did it before is just too much work.

Hacking it ?

I written quite a few custom applications for the XDA and your site has some interesting infomation that has helped me.

I have replied a couple of times too with some code snipits.

All was very professional.

Now the Programmers Corner is under Hacking it, so I must of now become a Hacker. An interesting term, that I will have to add to my CV and see if it effects my future software appointments.
[About XDA developers] AE:
At last! Your decision to migrate to 2.0.6 is very welcome :)

If you interested - I can suggest two mobile adaptations for phpbb:

- read only version optimized for using as Mobile Favorites/Avantgo channels

and

- fully functional version for using from mobile devices.

These versions were developed and tested for one of the mostly visited (264,100 messages currently) PDA-related site in Russia http://www.handy.ru/board Unfortunately, all of the site is on Russian, but you may look though the following links just to smell it:

Mobile Favorites/AvantGo version:

Setup channels (Controls translation: forum name; timeframe; pictures (all/smiles only/none); link conversion mode; signatures on/off)

Ready-to-synchronize channel link (two days plus vacations, smiles only, links converted to text, without signatures).

Online mobile version: (banners should be visible from desktop PC only)

Forum index

Forum page

Topic discussion

All security is the same as in desktop phpbb version. Almost all functionality is implemented except site administration, advanced moderation panel (topic joining/splitting/mass deletes) and profile changing/private messaging.

These forum versions not include support for skins or language resources (sorry, but I develop them as fast as I can). So translation to English and slight adaptation to your mods (if any) needed. But I'm ready for this job.

The only main forum changes needed are:

- adding 4 lines to template variables array initialization;

- modifying 4 template files to add links to mobile versions;
[About XDA developers] Peter Poelman:
Re: Hacking it ?

It seemed like a logical term to combine 'Programmers corner' and the little used 'Other techie stuff'. We think of the term 'hacker' as meaning a benign and very advanced programmer or techie, and not in any negative media-sensationalist terms. (Even though some of us do smile when we take the SIMlock off.)

Ofcourse if you think the rest of the world would see this differently, you're welcome to say 'Programmers corner' in future job applications.

I sincerely hope this linguistic issue will not keep you from continuing to benefit and contribute in the future.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TNR-KL:
I Have a SGH-I747 from rogers but I signed a 3 year plan. I am in Asia at the moment but my SGH-I747 wont work. I was thinking of buying a GT-I9300 in Asia and using it in Asia and in Canada considering its a "international" version. I know the GT-I9300 is not a LTE phone, and since SGH-I747 comes with micro sim is it possible to switch from micro sim to regular sim using an adapter?

I know the GT-I9305 is also international and lte but I don't want to spend extra money for the lte versions. I'm happy with 3G as it is. So is it possible to switch from micro sim (SGH-I747) to a regular sim (GT-I9300) using adapter.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Fallon:
A normal SIM and micro SIM are the same except for some extra plastic. You can trim a normal SIM to fit in a micro slot. Check around and you can find a fancy square hole punch to do just that. They usually come with tiny plastic sleeves to make a micro SIM fit a normal slot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Check the sim first if you can cut it. Not all SIMs can be cut.

Why can't i add the more than a few contacts..? I have 543 contacts and i sent all contacts from my old phone to the n4 via Bluetooth as .vcf files.. Now when i import from Storage it imports only 400 contacts not anymore.. How much ever i try it wont let me import more even one by one..

Any solutions ?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damaddy:
Perhaps try backing up contacts data with MyBackup from play store, export backup to new phone and import them.

Do a backup from your new phone before importing the contacts ;)

Dont know if it works, or why the N4 can't import more than 400 contactc, just a possible solution

[Asus Transformer TF700] matt11601:
Hi everyone. I'm trying to figure out why my power profile in Tasker is not working.

Device: ASUS TF700

ROM Version: CROMI 3.4.6

Kernel: Stock kernal by _that v4

Bootloader: Jellybean

Tasker version: 1.3.3u2

Accessories: TF700 is plugged docked into ASUS Connect Dock. This is plugged into a power strip. I use the ON/OFF switch on the strip to control power.

Other Settings: Allow External Access is granted in Tasker Preferences. Tasker is a Device Administrator Access.

Objective: When tablet has power, display timeout changes to 23 hours . When screen loses power, display timeout changes to 15 seconds.

Here's how I set it up:

Profile Name: Power Status

State: Power > Any

Enter Task:

---Display Timeout: 23 hours

---WiFi: On

Exit Task:

---WiFi: Off

---Display Timeout: 15 seconds

PROBLEM: This profile works perfectly once. After the charging cable is disconnected, the Exit task successfully works. The problem is, when the charging cable is plugged back into the tablet, the profile is not triggered again. It runs once and then never again.

I also get the following error message in Tasker: http://goo.gl/XA5fs

There is little documentation on this error message and I'm trying to get help from the Tasker Group. I wanted to ask people here in case someone has some experience with this.

Has anyone experienced this problem before or have some advice?

Thanks a lot.

-matt
[Asus Transformer TF700] matt11601:
Hi sdbags, thanks for the reply. And thank you for a great ROM.

I am using stock kernel v4 by _that. Also, fsync is enabled and I did not install any kernel tweaks while flashing CROMI 3.4.6. I am not using System Tuner.
[Asus Transformer TF700] matt11601:
Something else I noticed sdbags, Tasker does not recognize when BlueTooth is connected to any device. But, it does recognize when WiFi is connected.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like tasker needs updating for JB 4.2.1. CROMI is stock based and I haven't changed any functionality that would break blue tooth or power detection. Email the author of tasker. He is very responsive.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Hahaha, Sbdags, are you just woke up? In his post he already stated, he's using _that V4 and he already contacted the author and what's up with "Sounds like tasker needs updating for JB 4.2.1" ??? I didn't aware that our tf700 had JB 4.2.1!! lol.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Oops :) Thought I was in the TF300 forum :silly: :o

I do have a copy of tasker as i use it on my phone. It has some problems with that as well though. Doesn't seem to be great on jelly bean.
[Nexus 10 General] nxss4:
Hello everybody,

Since a few weeks, i had 'only' 1.6gb of internal storage free, my nexus 10 was slower then before, it took around 5 seconds before the screen turned on and the launcher was regularly stuttering. Now, i have cleared the cache, site data and cookies ( chrome app > settings > advanced > privacy > clear browsing data) that was about 500mb. After that all the problems were gone. Has anyone else experienced this ? Let me know if freeing up space fixed the problem.

Greetings,

Inse
[Nexus 10 General] CWalkop:
I find that very strange, considering that the Nexus 10 has some of the highest-scoring I/O benchmarks around. This kind of issue is obviously I/O related (at least, it seems so). I don't get mine until Monday so I'm not entirely sure, but that shouldn't be happening. I've heard reports of this on the Nexus 7, obviously due to the sub-standard I/O, but not on the Nexus 10.

Could you try doing some I/O benchmarks with AnTuTu or similar app in your N10's current state, and then again with lower storage? That might help diagnose the issue.
[Nexus 10 General] espionage724:
I heard of this being an issue on the Nexus 7 on 4.2, but it was fixed I think on 4.2.1 or 4.2.2, haven't heard anything on the N10 though.
[Nexus 10 General] nxss4:
Thanks for the replies, do you guys think i should send my nexus 10 back ? I have several other issues as well:

-overheating

-very unstable (freezes a few times a day)

-strange 'sssssrrrt' sound from the right side of the rear camera, i think that it is the processor. (That place becomes hot while playing games. When i say hot i mean very hot, my finger almost hurts when i touch that place)

[Nexus 10 General] 3DSammy:
Before sending it back, as written in the previous post, are you using Android v4.2.2? That android version dealt with a number of issues that plagued the N10. If you are on that release and still have the described issues then send it back. My own N10 is on v4.2.2 and does not have any of those problems.
[Nexus 10 General] Arcano:
With the symptoms you mention I would definitely exchange it.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mgolanlan:
I'm new to this PPC biz (HP 100LX -> Treo180->Treo270->XdaII)

So now that I've played with my XDAii for two weeks,

I'd love to hear what other people use. This is my current setup:

1. MagicButton - this change the 'x' application hide into a real close

and show an actual bar (like winXP, but on top). It is free, small,

doesn't work too well with Phone Edition :-( but is much better

than Battery Pack 2004. There are many ways to do this...

2. cLaunch - allows setting up icons on the Today to run applications

directly (like a desktop on WinXP). Again - this is free and seems

better than Battery Pack 2004 (which combines too many features)

3. GPRS Monitor - by SPb. cute. works well.

4. TotalCommander - files manager. free, looks good, seems to have

no bugs, allow zip/unzip...

4. Multiie 3.0 - allows multiple windows, full screen, save pix, view

source in pocketIE. Also Macromedia Pocket flash 6 addon to IE.

5. WorldMate 2004 - gives world time, misc data for travelers,

and weather forcast. Promblems: won't update via GPRS,

doesn't show sunset/sunrise

6. In conjuction with WorldMAte, I'm also using Pocket Earth which

shows a neat earth display and gives sunset/rise/distance etc,

and citytime, which is much more practical but with less data...

7. PocketTV of course, to play mpg files

8. myipconfig, pocketping - simple network utilities

9. ruler, rangefinder - neat utilities

10. Calculator - the free Engineering calculator by Agang

Summary:

working the OS: MagicButton, cLaunch, TotalCommander

Internet Explorer: MultiIE, PocketFlash, GPRS monitor

multimedia: PocketTV

world time etc: Pocket Earth, WorldMate, Citytime

network utils: myipconfig, pocketping

misc: engineering calculator, ruler, rangefinder.

Still looking for: a good regeditor,

battery/memory/etc display like Battery Pack w/o the other gadets,

show all processes/threads/memory status utility,

maping tools for GPS and scanned maps,

impoved contacts (like Palm's search), calander (allowing change of

date when alarm turns on), phone (dial with one finger / big letters).

Please post what U are using!!!

A note to XDA I users: I'm sure if you all meet it will be clear most

of you learned, a year ago, which is the best RegEditor, File finder,

etc etc... but us newcomers don't want to download every little

software ever written and test it ourselves ... please guide us!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpark3711:
Hello all,

I initally used the Wugz root toolkit to unlock, install drivers and root my device. I flashed CWM and a ROM. Once I flashed the ROM, it wouldn't boot, but would flash the google logo, go black, then go to the google logo and open up CWM again.

I searched for backups, they were gone. So I tried a few things and now I can't even get to CWM.

All I can get to is the Recovery menu and Stock Recovery. My computer won't recognize the device in adb fastboot but will recognize it when I put it into sideload from the stock recovery.

I've tried to flash the 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 images from the Google developer website but when it verifies the installation package it says installation aborted.

Is there any way I can fix this just from the Stock Recovery sideload? Is this hopelesss?

I have a GT-9100 galaxy s2 that I use with the media net unlimited data plan and wondered if this phone works with it or not.

I have read that the S3 and HTC one unlocked get pushed to the smart phone plan just wondered if AT&T has done the same to this phone.

Thanks

I just wanted to know if any one here has tried it yet. I am guessing LTE won't work under the plan, but H+ still does so for unlimited it works for me, then when T-mobile's LTE/H+ grows a bit I can come over to the pink side. LOL
[Sony Xperia ZL] ebaul:
Are you using it on at&t? How is the H+ speeds u/d?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] 4ktvs:
Yea I am using it on AT&T. My speeds are on avg 3-5mbs down load and 1 upload. I can get 6-9mbs down load at night some times and in a few places was able to get over 2mbs upload, but that's rare. The highest download speed I ever got was 12mbs download and 2.6mbs upload.

Sadly even with 21mbs H+ built in the phone, AT&T only uses H+ 14/7mbs. So that really sucks. But on the good side I have gone over 100GB two times with out issue. No throttling or any of that.

On avg I really only use 5-20GB a month, I only used the 100GB when my ISP failed me. ( Screw you time warner Cable, will be glad to be rid of you soon.)
[Sony Xperia ZL] nurav666:

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A_U:
​

STEP 1 : Rooting MAC

If you have a mac, apk manager doesn't work on macs. So, you must use apktool. To set up apktool, you must have root mode enabled on your mac. To do that, simply follow these steps:

Open system preferences

Open accounts

Go to login options

Hit join next to network account server

Select open directory utility

Click the lock at the bottom of the window that pops up and enter an admin password

Then, go to the top bar on your mac, hit edit, and select enable root mode

STEP 2 : SETTING UP APKTOOL

Once you have root mode enabled, you're ready to set up apktool :

From the apktool website, download apktool-latest-version.tar.bz2 and apktool-install-macosx-latest-version.tar.bz2

Next, open terminal type :

[B]su
tar -C /usr/local/bin -xvf <zipped file name>
tar -C /usr/local/bin -xvf <zipped file name> (for the second file)[/B]

Now to confirm it worked, type "apktool" no quotes

You should get a help menu for apktool

If you got it, you're good to go to next step.

STEP 3 : USING APKTOOL

Now, once you have it set up, you're ready to go! After typing apktool, you'll see the help menu which'll give you the commands available for apktool, but I'll go over the basic ones here.

For installing frameworks or apps

apktool if

This command will decompile the apk

apktool d "apk path here"

This command will build an apk from a previously decompiled one

apktool b "decompiled apk path here"

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

​

Download the apktool.java file along with other files, as shown above. Extract them to the desktop.

Now open terminal and type line by line :

Note : "android" in all the below commands is my username. So it changes according to your pc name ;)

We are giving root permissions for the 3 files that you extracted above.

chown -R android:android '/home/android/Desktop/apktool.jar'

press enter

chown -R android:android '/home/android/Desktop/aapt'

press enter

chown -R android:android '/home/android/Desktop/apktool'

press enter

Next make all 3 files executable by doing the same thing one at a time pressing enter in between each one:

sudo chmod +x '/home/android/Desktop/apktool.jar'

after the first it will ask you for your password type it, you shouldnt need it after that for the rest

sudo chmod +x '/home/android/Desktop/aapt'

sudo chmod +x '/home/android/Desktop/apktool'

now we need to move all three files to bin folder to do it type this command and enter your password:

gksudo nautilus

a new window should pop up on the left click on "filesystem/usr/local/bin, then drag all three folders into the bin folder and close it.

APKTOOL is now ready and make your modifications on a linux distro easily :)
