Maybe only if its signed by Samsung put in sd card and boot to the stock recovery.. Im not sure if samsung has a install from there or not....

So the answer is Root does not let you install a update.zip Its the Recovery that does.. Custom recoveries will flash any complete .zip . Stock recovery only samsung signed files.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Paul Warren:
Hi,

I've managed to upgrade my MDA I with the new T-Mobile 2003 ROM Version: 4.01.16 ENG, Radio Version: 6.25.02

Any idea how I now unlock the thing so that I don't need to use a T-Mobile SIM?

I know I could install a different version of 2003, but I actually do want to use the T-Mobile one.

Cheers

Paul.

UPDATE: I now think that my problem is not that I have a sim lock, as it is not telling me that my O2 sim is not supported in this T-Mobile device. I think this may be an issue with the radio version. I have tried going back to my old 2002 install and also the XDA developers special. But no matter which one I install I always have the new radio version of 6.25. Does any one know how to "downgrade" my radio to an older one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ShadyWTT:
I recently flashed the cyber s4 rom and i like it. The only problem i have is that everytime i turn my phone off, it wont turn back on unless i connect it to a charger, even if the battery isnt dead. Also my battery has been dying quickly.

Is this a hardware issue, battery issue, rom or anything?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
Did you do full wipes when flashing the rom, try reflashed again and do full wipes, clear cache and fix permission.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathblade:
i agree with super, but to clearify a FULL wipe is doing the following:

wiping cache

wiping d-cache

factory reset

wiping system

then you flash the rom, it is so far one of the "cleanest" ways of rom installation
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ShadyWTT:
I did a full wipe and i was just waiting for an upfate on the rom to flasg since i rarely turn off the phone. New update is up so im going to flash and see if the problem persists.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] infamous916:
sounds like you needed to factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache/fix permissions before you flashed, some people say fix permissions isnt needed but in my experience it helps with things like this

[HTC Sensation] OKors:
I'm really tired of long incoming and outgoing messages being split up into multiple messages. The only way for me to prevent this is to "attach" a photo or blank subject line to each outgoing message. This unlocks the character limit, turns the message into MMS and allows it to be sent unbroken.

Some phones do this by default, others do not. I've heard its a combination of the way your carrier handles the data and the way your phone handles messages. Of course your carrier will never admit that its a handy 'tweak' that allows them to charge you for each broken up message rather than one long one.

I'm running a old gb version of MIUI but recently switched to JBMIUI (switched back because I love the stability of the gb version)

To be more specific.

There appears to be a hard limit of 160 characters. Is there a way to everride this somehow? Software mod or app tweak? Go SMS pro still breaks up the messages.

Are you on 2G or 3G? Back in my Desire says on 2G it used to split my texts up.
[HTC Sensation] Shree.bhagwat:
Hi

Greeting,

According to my knowledge as we go typing the character limit increases from 160 to next(whatever it might be) and the single message gets converted into 2 message n so on but when you send those message they go packed together and the receiver get all the messages packed in one message(you will be charged for every message) . As the text increases the phone converts it into mms if your message size is about 1 kb ( I might b wrong about mms size never used it) ,

So basically you keep typing and the msg will get converted into mms. No need of subject (look my Attachment their is no subject but still its a.mms)

2. Even if you send multiple message packed in one msg it also depends on the receivers phone how to accept it if his multiple msg text limit is for eg. 1000 characters it will convert the renaming message into message no.2.

Its confusing if you havent understood I can make it simple
[HTC Sensation] consolation:
On CM 9+ there is no issue with long SMS. They appear as one long text. Converting them to mms in NZ would cost a fortune as SMS are essentially free but MMS cost.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d00mz:
Hey folks, just picked up Tasker when it was on sale a few weeks back. I've been playing with it, and it's pretty great. Extremely flexible and powerful. I've run into a bit of a snag though and my google-fu has failed me.

I've created profiles

-to turn on my WIFI when I get within my home cell tower(s) range

-to start google Music when I plug in a headset

but what I really want to be able to do is

detect when WIFI is on

and is not connected

and has been that way for X minutes

In that case, I want WIFI to turn back off

I've started with the following:

Profile NOT WifiConnected

task "Set Variable"
Variable Clear %WifiOnNotConnected
IF %WIFI ~ on
Wait 5 mins
Variable Set %WifiOnNotConnected to 1
END IF

then I have another profile
Profile Is It Set?
%WifiNotConnected Matches 1
Task
Wifi Set to OFF
Variable Clear %WifiOnNotConnected

what is odd is that it works if I manually run the tasks, it does NOT work unless I do that.

Can anyone help?

Hmm I've been using tasker today. Bought it few weeks back on sale. Same as you.

I followed the instructions and even this video

but it doesn't appear to turn off the wifi. I saw that it removed the Network Notification (to notify me when there's an open network available). - I tried disabling this setting in the wifi settings.

strangely, turning off the wifi, will immediately turn it back on. I reduced the time to 1second to test it.

I've taken screenshots of the profile and task.

Any help would be appreciated. thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mechanimal82:
There's a thread called "ultimate noob/beginners guide to tasker" which is generally used for help using tasker.

However, maybe just a single profile using 2 contexts should be enough.

Context 1: %WIFI = ON

Context 2: WiFi not connected

Task 1: Wait 5 minutes

Task 2: WiFi off IF %WIFII does not match *connection

*Note the IF is referencing %WIFII

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

No need to kill mobile data when WiFi is connected as the system already does that.

Take a look at my post above. FYI you don't need a stop exit task.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMastodon:
Just in case there is somebody out there still having problems with this, here is my solution:

First setting a variable for connection state:

Profile: Wifi Connected

State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:* MAC:* IP:* ]

Enter: Anon

A1: Variable Set [ Name:%WIFICONNECTED To:1 Do Maths: off Append: off ]

Exit: Anon

A1: Variable Clear [ Name:%WIFICONNECTED Pattern Matching: off ]

Then the profile that does the magic:

Profile: Wifi Not Connected

State: Not Wifi Connected [ SSID:* MAC:* IP:* ]

State: Variable Value [ Name:%WIFI Op:Matches Value: on ]

Enter: Anon

A1: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:1 Hours:0 Days:0 ]

A2: WiFi [ Set: off ] If [ %WIFICONNECTED ! Set ]

Exit: Anon

A1: WiFi [ Set off ] If [ %WIFICONNECTED ! Set ]

As you may notice, wifi set off comes twice, both in enter task and exit task. This was an accident at first, but I discovered that this was the only way I could keep WiFi from turning on immediately after it was turned off. Why this happened I don't know,but this way it works as intended.

Thanks for the update, I was having this problem but the link mentioned earlier includes:

* Turn off "Restore Settings"

* Turn off "Enforce Task Order"

I think the "restore settings" is what was causing our trouble. If what you say is true, apparently exit tasks aren't effected by the "restore settings" option anyway (good to know). Defaulting this to on makes tasker very unfriendly to n00bs...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IceTwig:
Just to be clear... is this profile is when you have left a wifi spot and are no longer connected and have been disconnected for X amount of time, this turns wifi off? How could you have it go back on to scan if there is a preferred AP to connect and if not keep off but if there is leave on?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toka1232010:
Hello everyone.

First of all, I don't even know if this question is noobish or not, but I just can't solve this "problem" (or not?)

So, the thing is, I don't like color "fading" on my GS3 display. I see layers that fade out one below eachother, and it is deffinitely not right. For example when I start some app like Solid Explorer, the second before the main page loads I see these annoying "layers". And also on any image where the color has to fade out into another color, it is also noticable. Then, as I guessed, it depends on kernel.

As I said, I don't know what kind of question is this :)) and I don't know if someone knows about that but still, do you know something about that?

PS. I attached a screenshot of solid explorer before it loads the main page so that you could know what I'm talking about.

Thank you in advance

Thats the thing. No one can tell you what one will work for your device as each and every device is different. So you will have to test them out.

As I understand, the part of the main aims of this website is to share our experiences about different devices. So, there is a big chance, that someone has had a problem like me, this is why I asked? Why are you so aggressive towards me?

In addition, I am not from USA/UK and I'm not native English speaker, but this "GD" thing I hear everywhere, so I didn't know it is that "big deal", specially, when I do not offend anyone.

Anyway, if you don't have any suggestions, you should just leave and put your hating anywhere else.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok first you may want to rethink how you come off to a moderator of this forum. I was not aggressive in anyway. If I see anyone use that term they are told the same thing.

Now someone may have had the same issue but what worked for them may not work for you. That is why you were told to try out other kernels.

This is a developers forum not a support site. Most things here will always have a bug or two as we enjoy trying things out and breaking things to see if we can fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toka1232010:
To be honest, I really thought twice before posting the last comment, but still, I don't understand what you're saying at all. I said i'm trying lots of kernels to find the perfect one for me, but what is wrong with asking? What worked for them may actually work for me right?

I don't know about you moderators, but we, mortal users, sometimes support each other, so yes, this forum is somehow support site too.

Have a nice day.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] exFAT:
Hi all

I'm quite sure some of you had seen my previous post on trying to find out your cpu variant. What this shows is essentially how much voltage is needed to keep your CPU running at a certain frequency. The less the voltage needed, the higher your CPU variant. This is essentially CPU binning. CPUs with higher variants tend to be of higher quality (i.e. more stable at higher frequencies) so this could help us with undervolting and overclocking on cuatom kernels.

Variants run from 0 to 3, with 3 being the best variant. After digging around in the kernel source, I found out a way to determine your CPU variant.

The command is this (in root shell) :

cat /proc/last_kmsg | grep "CPU Process"

Make sure if you have busybox installed. Remember, CPU variant is not a big deal, they are all equally capable of 1.4GHz quad core. You cannot change it, you get it by luck/lack of luck. CPUs binned as low variants might actually be better than their assigned variant since these are tested in batches and they take the average of the whole batch.

Example output:

u0_a118@android:/ $ su

root@android:/ # cat /proc/last_kmsg | grep "CPU Process"

[70:01:01 00:00:00.000] Tegra Revision: A03 SKU: 0x81

CPU Process: 0

Core Process: 0

The number after the words "CPU Process" indicate your variant.

Remember: this is only meant to serve as a guideline when undervolting/overclocking comes about with custom kernels.
