[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Well... if you freshly flashed a Rom let's hope that dev had usb debugging on. If not this is all am exercise in setting up adb...cause even if the device isn't bricked without that setting on, adb will not communicate with the device.

Install java runtime environment and add to variable path.

Then you can install the android sdk.

Once installed open a command prompt.

Cd (change directories) to the "platform-tools" folder of the sdk install.

Once the prompt is there type:

Adb devices (enter)

If you get a device and then an alpanumeric id, your device is alive

From there type:

Adb reboot recovery (enter)

To boot into recovery and flash a working Rom.

Or adb reboot download (enter)

To boot download mode and use Odin.

If adb says device offline, usb debughing is off but your device is still alive, try the button combos for recovery, or invest in a jig to force download mode.

And finally if that gets nothing.... you're bricked.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thunderzhao:
thanks a lot for your detailed instruction!!!

unfortunately, computer cannot recognize the device, it just goes on and off endlessly, and asking to format the drive, Adb devices doesn't show anything either. probably have to send to repair
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The usual cure for flashing a ROM for another device is a JTAG service. cris mentioned it -- www.mobiletechvideos.com. It takes a week for the repair and costs you about $50.

The phone is returned with your carrier's stock ROM ICS 4.0.4.

Sounds like a plan, Thanks

Hey, does anyone know if they have stopped development of CyanogenMod for the Sprint EVO LTE???

there has not been a nightly for it since the 12th of March :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Art2Fly:
No bro. There is still active development. Right now it's on getting the 3.4 kernel working on cm10.1. All development is done on the evo lte irc. Link is stickied. Deck is the main developer so if you see him around, call him a bish and ya relax

If you are buying dev version, are you purchasing insurance or any protection plan? If you are, will dev version can be replaced?? What do you think?

Co-Sign I would like some info on this as well
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Becool0130:
There is always www.squaretrade.com :)

I personally would never get insurance from the phone companies anyhow. Why? $10/month added to bill and its outrageous. Why not buy it in full in the first place and save some money while at it? Also, insurance from phone companies or any other 3rd party will have to be mailed and wont be in store so there is no difference in customer service btw :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iraqgsm:
squaretrade.com

FYI: GO TO SMARTPHONE SECTION 125 FOR 2 YEAR PROTECTION

What does a SquareTrade plan cover?

Drops

From cracked screens to broken internal parts, we cover the big damage that can come from even the smallest falls.

Antenna/Wi-Fi Failure

If your phone can't get a signal where other phones can, there might be a problem with the antenna. No worries, you're covered.

Spills

Doesn’t matter if it's one splash, one spill, or full immersion in a swimming pool—we've got you covered.

Broken Dock Connector Port

If you need to wiggle the power cord or hold the cable in place to get a charge, it might be the port, not the cable. If so, we've got you covered.

All Mechanical or Electrical Failures

We cover complex internal parts that can fail during normal use, even years after your purchase.

Touchscreen Failure

We cover broken touchscreen digitizers, which can result in a display that looks active but doesn't respond to touch commands.

Display Failure

We cover dead pixels, white lines, or total blackouts that can make an LCD screen unusable.

Won't Power On

You're covered if your smartphone stops turning on or its battery stops holding a charge (50% or more).

I know squaretrade, but what i am curious is that will theu be able to send developer version specifically? I guess it is hard to answer.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expertzero1:
if they dont have the phone in stock, which they probably wont, you purchase the dev version, and they send you a check full price.

How much is the deductible then?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expertzero1:
straight from squaretrade is a bit more expensive, but i think its 125 online and a 99 deductible so its a really good plan.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] daniel178:
Hello all,

I am not really any kind of coder or developer myself. However, I am looking for someone who is -- maybe someone new to the game, to help me with an app I'd like to have on my phone (HTC Thunderbolt).

It's basically a time-card app, pretty simple. There are numerous of these out there, but I'd like to have one specifically geared towards my industry. There are already a couple that exist for the iPhone, but none that I can find for Android. Below are examples of what I'm talking about:

http://www.crewtimecard.com/

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wrap-time-time-card-for-film/id335510869?mt=8

I'd like to make a better one, and one for Android. Really, it would be just for my personal use, but I'm sure many others would be interested as well. Perhaps if someone out there is a developer as a hobby, looking for more practice, etc., this might suit that person. I'd love to talk about collaborating on such a project.

Thanks!
[Other Tools & General Discussion] jpepin:
Not to be rude, but I'd be surprised if anyone bites on your offer. Developing and testing apps properly takes a significant amount of time and dedication, and the examples you gave indicate that the app you're looking for could be quite complicated. Unless you come across a developer that happens to need the same thing, or that you are willing to pay, you may be SOL.

Of course, this sounds like the perfect opportunity to learn how to program! There are plenty of great websites out there that will walk you through the entire process form scratch. Good Luck!
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Setati:
Is there a list of them somewhere?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] CAG-man:
Not really.

These 2 site can help you from scratch.

http://www.codeacademy.com

www.code.org

Google has their own site to teach people.

Sounds like you might need to learn several languages to accomplish your goal. Not sure of one particular one to meet your goal.

ok so i have started to use synergy rom and i really like these roms but my recently added music will dissapear and it wont be on my sd card at all does this have anything to do with synergy or could it be something else
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PaulG1488:
Are you sure you didn't wipe it by mistake when installing the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amebiasis:
I can confirm this too, I noticed today after doing a reinstall music was gone randomly. I didn't know what to think but glad to know I'm not going crazy Lol. Amazing Rom though still, well worth having to redownload a few songs any day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] corbn89:
Two of the three wiping options in the synergy aroma installer will erase your internal sd card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Meaning what? Its actually files removed from the SD card or just not showing up in the music player? if you have a lot of music it takes time, sometimes a long time for the media scanner to refresh after a new install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jbeard540:
Meaning not on the sd card at all
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] greentaloy:
Almost all know the features of the 2013 top brands Android smart phones from the reviews and comparison, it's dazzled and hard to make the final decision easily,here just an simple investigation on which mobile will you take among HTC One/Samsung Galaxy S4/Sony Xperia Z(L) ?:highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] deathxlive.lx:
HTC one is the best in my opinion
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] thatbimmerkid:
HTC build quality is excellent...

but the S4 is more popular therefore there will be more accesories for it, plus is running the latest android version 4.2.2 the HTC ONE is not.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] choboii:
Thinking about getting the HTC One and was wondering if you rooted it, would you be able to get 4.2.2 on it?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Cryosx:
You won't be able to. All current sense based roms are 4.1.2. Once AOSP based ROMs come out then yes, you'll be able to get 4.2.2.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] BAM1789:
Koush has an ATT One. CM will be coming and I can not wait..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] choboii:
Thanks for the quick reply.Probably just wait until the ROMs come out then.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] choboii:
Can't wait either. Hopefully don't have to wait too long because I'm loving the look of the One, but the software part is what's killing me.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] doxy-LS:
What are you missing?

Coming from a Nexus S with a CM-based 4.2.2 - I was worried about two things on the 'downgrade' : Bluetooth skipping & the 'swype-style' keyboard.

The One has the swype capability & I haven't have any BT garbles yet... so I'm OK with the 4.1.2 core. Just getting used to Sense.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] raqball:
4.2.2 is obviously a MINOR update and IMHO does not offer much.

For all I care the One can skip 4.2.2 and just get 5 once it's released..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] penskyc:
While I somewhat disagree with this as I think the lockscreen widgets and the new quick settings in 4.2.2 are major updates and add a lot. That being said, I upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus running cm 10.1, and I was concerned about the 'downgrade' as well.. The one thing that is killing me is no way to get to the camera from the lockscreen, yes I can add it to my dock, but i dont keep my camera on my dock.. so i really miss that.. Also I cannot fathom why htc would forgo any type of quick settings in the notifications dropdown, I installed renovate 1.0 custom rom that has them so all is good..

In conclusion, its not a big deal at all, its somewhat refreshing to use Sense 5 in my opinion.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] agalvin13:
coming from a nexus 4 on 4.2.2 i do not miss it at all really. You can swipe your camera icon from the lock screen which mirrors the functionality of 4.2.2 lock screens. The quick settings feature would be nice but i have always used nova launcher and power toggles widget so it essentially accomplishes the same thing.

4.2.2 has all sorts of bluetooth, wifi and wakelock issues on the nexus 4 so i am perfectly happy being on a 4.1.2 using faster, sexier version with LTE. I am scared that 5.0 at google i/o is going to bring babel and some other awesome features which we wont get for awhile. I guess we will have to wait and see.

I do however miss inductive charging :(
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] doxy-LS:
I'm using Elixir 2 to get quick sets in the dropdown - mute & volume profiles are key, and I also put a shortcut to KeePass there. It's a non-root/non-ROM option for those less adventurous. Elixir also lets you make widgets with tighter packed icons - I thought the 4x4 was a little loose for a screen this big & high res..
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] choboii:
So you're saying you prefer the HTC one over the Nexus 4? And Sense have something that the Nexus 4 has instead of the blink feed?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fix-this!:
any word on when we may get 4.2.2?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Daman09:
Some guy on reddit said that iy should be coming to the international build in about a month. He said he had seen some test builds, and at the rank they were being pushed out made him think they were almost done.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] fix-this!:
http://androidcommunity.com/android-4-3-jelly-bean-is-coming-soon-not-key-lime-pie-20130427/

if this is true i hope htc skip 4.2.2 and go right to 4.3.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] vitallish:
please delete, my apologies
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] WA_Bob:
Considering 4.2.2 is still new and rare in production models (the SGS4 is the only phone I know of that has it) I don't see anyone jumping over it to put 4.3 on anything but a nexus very soon. If HTC is close to pushing out a 4.2.2 build, they won't have time to retool for a 4.3 release for a bit.

Hello, all fonts I've found so far (I want Ubuntu, to be exact) don't work with bold text. It either just falls back to the usual font or doesn't bold.

Can someone point me to a version of Ubuntu that works with bold and other formatting?
[Galaxy S 4 General] jk0l:
Edit:

Sorry. Never mind. I have looked for more videos. And it is not always true that black is for Black Mist and white is for White Frost

The result is mixed.

Maybe there is a setting somewhere. This is just so bizarre.

Once again, I am sorry about this false info. My apologies.
[Galaxy S 4 General] JaeKay:
Mindblown.

Anyways, more reason to get the black version.
[Galaxy S 4 General] thatbimmerkid:
What?
[Galaxy S 4 General] kirdroid:
That is weird so they have two different version of touchwiz based on the model? Can't possibly be so there must be a setting somewhere to set black or white. By default they might be setting white on the white models and black on the black ones.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ronj1986:
I believe it was/is white on the GS4s that haven't received final production firmware. After the firmware update the settings menu will be black.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MajorTankz:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TheAtheistOtaku:
i dont think you can. never heard of anyone doing this, on any android phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MajorTankz:
You can easily change the firmware on a TW ROM with the Samsung app or with zips that are posted but these options don't work with AOSP ROMs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Firmware doesn't change between roms. Only system files and kernel changes. Firmware isn't even in an easily accessible partition and the only way I know to change hardware firmware is via odin flash or OTA updates. If you want the most recent firmware flash a GB27 oneclick then flash back to your aosp rom after flashing an ics modem.

Note 8.0 is a fantastic tablet!

But it's price is a bit steep. So Samsung decided to sweeten the deal a little bit.

So beside various pre-installed apps and the 50 gb Dropbox bonus storage they are offering a $25 Playstore gift card.

How to Claim Google Play Credits

- You need to register your Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 by visiting Samsung register.

- Fill in the first name, last name, email ID, Zip code, password, device model, purchase date and

serial number, WiFi Mac Address

. (the later can be found in Settings->About->Status)

- Once you have filled this, verify once again.

- Done? Click on Submit.

You will get an email consisting Google Play Promotion code to the Email ID provided in the above step. Usually it will not take more than a day for the mail to arrive.

___________________________

*The Offer is valid only for US purchases.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jntdroid:
Unfortunately I never received the email. Not sure why... Also didn't get the Dropbox bonus, but I've had a few of those in the past, so maybe Dropbox just cut me off...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bungadudu:
You know that for Dropbox you must complete those tasks from the "Get Started" section.

But I'm assuming you did that allready.

Don't know what's with Dropbox lately. I connected a HTC One which should also come with 25gb bonus storage, but... nothing...

For the Note 8 problem, try contacting Samsung on their facebook and tell them your problem.

"For questions or concerns registering your Note 8.0 device to receive this offer, please contact Samsung Support at www.facebook.com/SamsungSupport."

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kgb_swe:
Worked fine for me, both the 50Gb Dropbox and $25 giftcard.

However, even if it states the gift card only is valid in the US, just use a US proxy and redeem the gift card yourself instead of giving $25 away.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Idan73:
Code would be useless to you as the us models are specific and WiFi and serial show as error and there's no way to select Canadian model which is axac. Vpn and proxy do not help as it is simply model, serial and WiFi that have to match in Samsung database.

I bought the NOTE 8 the weekend it was released and registered immediately. Roughly 2 weeks have gone by, and I've contacted Samsung 3 times thru chat (only because they said I would be contacted within 2 days) and still nothing. I'm not sure why Samsung is dragging their feet with this. I mean, as Note 8 owners, we paid a premium price for this tablet and as early adopters we were told that we'd receive a $25.00 play store credit, yet why do I see so many Note 8 owners still waiting?

Samsung, get it together please. How hard is it to identify the product, see if the play store credit was given, and if not yet, release it to those who registered...yes, its that simple.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ExploreMN:
