[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
First you MUST remove android using acmeuninstaller before allowing webOS to update.

The latest version I thought is 3.0.5 which can be downloaded as webOS Doctor 3.0.5 and installed at your convenience. I also think webOS updates can be turned off.

What version are you currently running?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I'm pretty sure you don't have to remove android to update, at least I didn't. You will lose moboot, but you can reinstall it easily.

I updated OTA, but you can also run the appropriate webos doctor (webos is at 3.0.5).

In webos, just follow the on screen instructions to update. After it's done, reinstall moboot using acmeinstaller3. I think you can also install it using recovery (I use cwm).

If you haven't already, update your moboot to 0.3.8, and your cwm to the 6.xx one. Here's the link for cwm (use the 12/15 one) : http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/recovery

Here's the link for moboot : http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing

There are several good guides here which a search will turn up. Also, do a little reading over at webos nation forum, there's lots of good information there too.

Good luck.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitsunisan:
Thanks for the answers. I believe sstar is correct, removing Android is necessary. :( The update always fails because it can't get itself into the appropriate recovery. No big deal I guess, just do a nand backup, remove it, update, redo the acmeinstaller3 and restore.

I'm still running 3.0.4, it's been that long since I've used it. I really don't know why, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with WebOS, and when I'm on it I like it, it's just I'm so used to Android, I guess.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicle_11:
I did some reading over at webos nation forum and you don't have to remove android. You do have to remove the preware patches and whatever kernel you installed (if any).

Once updated you can reinstall the patches and kernel.

I strongly recommend you do some reading over at webos nation forum, it's really informative.

Like I said before, you will lose moboot, but all your android files will still be there. Once you reinstall moboot, you can get back to android.

Edit : to remove the patches, use EPR (you get it in preware). Once you run it, it removes the patches and also itself once it's done.

Webos is great. I actually like it better than android, but the app selection is severely limited, android does a lot better in that respect.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
When i did my updates from 3.0.2 to 3.0.4 and then 3.0.5 I never removed any of my preware patches, although they were gone afterwards and had to be re installed. All of which were done before I even new what android was.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gradular:
I think the update to3.0.4 was the only one that messed with boot folder and partitions.

how do I do this?

I found I can send a google maps link to my phone and it will open it relatively intact in google maps on the phone but when I goto navigation for turn by turn it completely ignores everything except A and B routes the way it did if I simply asked to go their and ignores waypoints past B

suggestions?

So yesterday i have flashed the pacman custom rom via CWM and it works fine.

However, I cant play a game that requires unroot, so I decided to flash it back to the ICS

From that, I tried to flash a OFFICIAL ICS ROM I9103ZCLPD via Odin, however, it stuck on flashing the file "Factoryfs.IMG"

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harddisk_wp:
Hi,

one can have multiple twitter, email etc. accounts on Android (running 4.1.2 on a Galaxy Note), but only one facebook account. However, I have two of them and I need *both* their contacts sync'd to the contacts database (one is my "private" profile for close friends, the other is for work colleagues etc). Also, the built-in facebook authentication has the same problem as the contact sync - I don't want to run games like Real Racing under my "public" FB profile.

Any way to make two FB profiles on one device? Maybe with something like a "virtualization"?

In my opinion the only way to root is to unlock your prime, when you are on JB. I did that and I am very with it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Ok. Are you using the AT&T version of the SGS3? What settings are you doing manually and they are not sticking? Do you mean it does not change at all, switches automatically after certain amount of time, or resets after reboot or airplane mode? There is not an app that I know of that does this directly. Most are more or less shortcuts to your "mobile networks" in settings and the Test menu found under USSD "*#*#4636#*#*". I have not found one that works the way you mention for myself (regardless of which phone I use) unless it is baked into the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Copied from some post here n backed up on my drop box. This should work on TW ROMs.

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

From the phone dialer enter: *#197328640#

Umts -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Lock -> RAT_FREE_SUPPORITNG ON <- once you choose this option it will say "Now RAT Free Supporting" - this will allow you to change bands freely (no need to pull the SIM card) until your next reboot.

You can save *#197328640# in your contacts. I wasn't able to call the contact directly but from the dialer you can dial *#1 and it will pop up as a suggestion - you press that and it launches automatically. You can then go to Umts -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control <- this leads you to the screen you'd find in my original method with *#2263#

From here you can freely swap to whichever band you prefer and it will connect without a reboot required!

Note: After disabling RAT restrictions you can hit the menu button and choose back, twice. You'll then be at the menu list that includes "Network Control" aka *#2263# which is a little faster.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turnipz:
Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my nexus device, I was watching youtube on it and it froze and now doesnt boot. I can access hboot, but recovery just shows the X logo and restart. I've tried reflashing boot.img, reflashing the recovery, reflashed stock hboot, flashed new roms from fastboot. I've also tried passimg.zip, and flashing a different radio but it stops 90% the way through, and it gets stuck in loading passdiag.zip if I use the volume down button to boot instead of the trackpad button.

The graphic abnormality is like an artifacting. If you search youtube its called "Nexus one stuck on X, can't boot to recovery.", I cant however post a link.

Anyone encountered this before? Any insight is appreciated.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] pdhenry:
On my US TMobile XDA there's a way to tell the network to disable caller ID.

Start/Settings/Phone/Services Tab/Caller ID - Get Settings.../

At this point the phone reads the settings from the network and then responds with a screen to select sending Caller ID to everyone or no one.

In addition, by prefacing the dialed number with *67 I can turn off caller ID for that call. So if I'm calling 212-555-1212 I'd dial *67-212-555-1212. This is the same code that I'd use to disable caller ID from my home phone.

Edit: Of course if you're not in North America I have no idea whether any of the above holds true or not.

No Idea why the post doesn't include any paragraphs. I typed it with them...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Looking Glass:
Your'e right pdhenry!

GSM carriers should support all the mentioned services, plus, if this is the case, you can request your carrier to allways OMIT your number (Except when calling to the police and so on, or where it is mandatory by law in certain cases)

Should your carrier do not support this service, most networks support enabling/disabling this feature on the fly, but be aware THIS IS NOT YOUR PHONE OPTION, IT'S YOUR CARRIER'S who support the feature.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artcarney:
I have a stock 32 gb wifi only Nexus 7.

I was in Vegas last week to get married, placed the Nexus 7 in the room safe and when I came back, it was gone. Strange part was the thief left several thousands of dollars in wedding rings, pearl necklace, etc in the safe. All they took was my Nexus 7.

I discovered it missing scant minutes before we had to meet the limo to take us to get married. So we got married and when we returned to the hotel I reported it.

Security came up to the room after we did a report in their offices and searched the room thoroughly at my request. I opened the safe and we emptied it, security searched the safe and all around it with a flashlight, it was not in the room.

My wife and I left with security after the room search, security went back to work (I suppose), we went to dinner.

A few hours later we returned and I noticed the closet doors had been disturbed. The maid had been to the room MUCH earlier in the day. So I opened the safe and lo and behold, my Nexus 7 had "found it's way home".

I can think of no good reasons why someone would steal a Nexus 7 then return it. I can certainly think of a few bad reasons why they would do such a thing.

So I left it in airplane mode for the remainder of the trip, just used it to read a book on the Kindle app.

Of course I took a LOT of security measures with my banks, etc.

Since this has happened I returned home and encrypted the tablet. There are two levels of passwords you have to go through now when it boots just to get to the "desktop".

I also installed AVG after the theft and did a complete scan, I made sure to tell AVG to scan EVERYTHING.

The scans came up clean.

ALL my passwords where I bank, etc have been changed. I always use passwords of 15+ characters and when I can I also mix in special characters such as !@#$, etc. Often banks won't allow those though. Curious.

So, I do use this tablet to login to my bank accounts sometimes.

Do you feel I'm safe to do so again?

Should I do a complete wipe of the tablet?

I do have the correct version of Android and the correct build number that I downloaded. They are for the wifi only Nexus 7 and they match what's on the tablet now.

If you feel I should do a complete wipe, where can I find a tutorial? ... and will my apps including the paid ones automagically reinstall?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppetermann:
You shouldn't have touched the tablet at all, but called the police to take evidence, such as fingerprints and an analysis of whatever might have changed.

Now that aside, using a probably Compromised device any further is not the smartest thing either. It does not matter if you change the password of anything, if you then enter the password through the compromised device, since there you are giving away the new password again.

Wipe the device, reset it to factory and restore from a pre-vegas backup. Then change all accounts again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Maybe its someone you know or room service. BTW the reason they returned it because they realized its not an iPad mini. Next time you need to spend more money on hip devices of you want it stolen.

You might want to wipe the device not just factory reset which is not wiping, since it will retain the system partition. I don't know how to write zeros to the partition and doing it wrong probably perm brick the device too, but someone else might know. But you can be more thorough by using fastboot to flash the factory image which will format all the partitions, then encrypt afterward. Just use the sticky thread in this section on hour to factory reset and use the fastboot links in my signature.

Also I don't use antivirus on Android, but last time I heard Microsoft once pulled AVG from their app store because it doesn't do anything but run adsware. Not saying that it's useless, but there are other good ones to look at: http://www.av-test.org/en/tests/mobile-devices/android/jan-2013/ I heard good things about Zoner as well. Just throwing a few suggestions out there, use which ever you prefer.

This is also a good time for you to check out the app Cerberus for theft prevention, but it required sending hidden text message so I guess you will need a 3G version to receive SMS, but still recommended for phones.

Also make sure to turn off USB debugging when not using it.

If I've got this right, if I unlock the HTC One through the HTCdev site, I will not be able to get OTA updates and that with S-on we can't flash radios.

Does this mean that unlocked devices are stuck for now on version 1 of the radio software? I ask this because other handsets have benefitted from radio updates. Or can a radio update be applied using a RUU?

Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ichi2k:
If your using a custom Rom, you can wait for the developer to update the rom. Or you can restore your phone back to stock with bootloader relocked and do a OTA update.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nniicckkss:
I can't remember what HTC Dev site says about updates after being unlocked, but if you're unlocked you're probably going for root, S-OFF and want to use a custom ROM, and rooted custom ROMs shouldn't be upgraded OTA or by official updates.

Yes, you need to be S-OFF to flash radios.

However, you will always be able to get the updates on XDA, so don't worry about missing out on anything!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
The OP has a point. Right now there's no way you can get S-OFF so you can't unofficially flash radios. And you can't update also while unlocked so you can't flash radios officially. Anybody here with experience with the One series could enlighten us here how they deal with this? I'm not sure yet with the relocking of the bootloader as I came from a Sony device and as far as I know relocking bootloader & flashing OTA = Permanent Brick.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drspikes:
Plus the other problem is that on the One X, if you were fully updated, they patched the only method of getting S-off. So it was a choice, don't accept any update while still S-on or remain on current official software and possibly risk loosing the chance to S-off later.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leerage:
I'm pretty sure you have got it figured out. If you are unlocked, you cannot take any OTAs that contain the software updates along with firmware updates (radio etc). You will have to RUU back to stock and then take the OTA.
