[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Ed the Lame:
I received the OTA update to 7.3.0, and it destroyed everything.

I did a factory reset, and tried to root with the same process I used before the update.

RootQemu tells me

"You must install your device speciffic drivers so that the device is visble to ADB"

In my pc's device manager, under "Kindle", it says "Android composite ADB interface"

I have deleted, downloaded and installed about a dozen different drivers, and have seen the "correct" Android composite adb interface in the device manager with about a third of them, however, no matter what,

RootQemu tells me:

"You must install your device specific drivers so that the device is visible to ADB'........

WHY?????????????????
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Are you sure you still have adb turned on in settings....

I'm guessing you're making a mountain out of a mole hill and just neglected to re check that step
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Ed the Lame:
Yeah, ADB is on. I wish it was that simple.

Actually, it probably is something that simple.

Just can't figure it out.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Have you tried using ADB to do anything else, such as pushing a file to the sdcard?

A short video demonstration for the Music player on Galaxy S4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8OYwE6W7lc

It displays large and beautiful album art, you can see new features and also you can check the sound quality.

Also you can find a new button on the notification bar "X" - to close the app - very useful

I hope she responds to you. I was personally concerned with the speaker for watching videos normally. Sounds pretty loud which is good.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MADNJPN:
I bought my Xperia S last year in May, and unfortunately I'm very upset with the phone, the design is very good but battery cover started moving in 3 months after that soft touch on the battery cover became glossy and not soft anymore,I had to buy one from Amazon, now looks as new. As for the phone it's very laggy, luckily I don't have any yellow tint or other problems with the phone, the major problem is dust coming through camera hole and touch buttons at the bottom sometimes lag. So I want to get rid of SONY Products once and for all, I don't even wont the new Xperia Z, because I know that it will disappoint me soon, I had almost 20 Sony Ericsson Phones including X10 and Arc, and I got disappointed in all of them, I was thinking of HTC one X+ but in the end I understood that there is nothing special in it, the best choice for performance and style would be Nexus 4, because it has great CPU, GPU, Design, Camera, it's the best phone for it's price. And if someone has an opinion about this please feel free to comment. I'll appreciate your help!!! :cyclops:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nrdl:
If you want an opinion... at least ask for a realistic challenge!

Nexus 4 is comparable to Xperia Z, Galaxy S3... not with Xperia S.

It is completely ridiculous to compare a model from 2013 with one from 2012, doesn't make any sense.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FanDroid09:
Xperia z is the only one of those phones thats from 2013 haha.....

Anyways... Nexus 4! Theres not even a debate. Aosp, great specs, gigantic dev community, haha I wish I had One.

Unless lte is a deal breaker of course.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cities516:
Nexus 4 is the best phone in Android developers community:

Not expensive, good specs, lots of resources!:good::good::good:

I really wish N4 is available in my region:crying:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Jackmax32:
Get the Nexus 4... Its not available officially in India and unofficial (online store) price is too much.... I would have bought it if it was available here.

Nexus 4 is better in almost every way compared to XS. Every tech site gave it a high score..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] nrdl:
I was obviously referring to S4...

But the rest remains...

For me the choice would also be Nexus 4
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MADNJPN:
Thank you everyone for your opinions! I'll definitely go for Nexus 4 and forget SONY forever.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] BelzIgoh:
Go for nexus 4, but dont forget about sony forever :p

who knows maybe next will be sony nexus 5 or 6. :good:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kartik.kayz:
Xperia s is worst my friend bought it 2 months ago now he wants to sell it I asked him the reason but he is always numb. Its led flash is not bright as compared to my sgs2. Nexus 4 is immortal. If you have few more thousands to spend go for htc butterfly or droid dna.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] vinodh3:
Gor for Nexus 4!

I got fed up with this sony mobiles. My xperia s not yet completed 7 months. It already died. I got it from UK now i cannot get the replacement also. It was already went two times for service. What the F mobiles it is. My previous mobile motorola is way better than this one. Don't go for beauty Look for how much it worth for long life.:(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MADNJPN:
Yea, you are right, just waste of money, you buy Xperia S in two weeks comes out Xperia S something with almost same price but with better performance, this drives me crazy! In 2011 I bought Xperia Arc, and Arc S came out in 2 weeks without announcement and I had to live with it. Don't trust sony!!!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rokus:
Dunno what's with you guys I've been a Sony user for the past 10 years and never had problems with em.I've had the x8 which was great and also the arc S (smart phone era). 4 months ago i bought the S and so far it has been rock solid.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxCripe:
Alright, I'm considering buying a Padfone, Padfone 2, or Padfone Infinity and the only thing keeping me from buying is the fact that the 3g/4g for AT&T and T-Mobile will note work. I heard some success stories about being able to flash a custom modem to the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note for use with T-Mobile's HSPA+ and was wondering if a similare process could be done with the Padfone?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ironfin:
i was wondering if theres anyway to turn off active sync when you want to?

like i keep it in the craddle to charge and it will automactically turn on to do a activesync which is starting to get annoying.

and no i don't want to just charge it using the DC plug :D

also on a unrelated issue... has anyone been able to get the bluetooth chat program proximitymail to work? it says something about not detecting any bluetooth stacks.

Hi, i was wondering if any could port samsung 4.1.2 rom because its amazing!! ...... ?????
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
It is possible but it is like mission impossible.

It is a lot of work from what i've heard.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandman303:
how would we do it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
To be honest i have no idea.

I know there are some tuts about how to port a rom but the SII and S are two completly diffrent phones so it will be a hard an long job to do so.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandman303:
ok, thanks but i was wondering how some people ported samsung ics from s2?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
That would have taken extensive coding, reworking of the whole framework and the system as well as a hell of a lot of rearranging. Even then, essential features such as video recording, the microphone and the vibrator still don't work.

However, no reason why it should be a dead end. The devs on that project showed that a semi-functional SII ICS port was possible. Just that its incredibly hard to do.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmacia06:
So I convinced my aunt to get the nexus 4 a while back. Unfortunatly its now not able to make calls correctly. Everything works on the phone without an issue just that There is no sound incoming or outgoing without having to put it on speaker mode (while in a call). This is a already know issue but there is not true way to fix it. We got around it by install the aplication called soundabout and unchecking something about the headphones. That got It to work... for a while. Now it is not working and am going to have to have to downgrade it back to 4.2.1? I read that was the only way. But I wanted to find a real solution. Or at least a reason as to why it happens to maybe figure out a solution?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Are you on 4.2.2? If so, you need your radio baseband upgraded to .48.

If that's not the case, then it could be a hardware issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
there are a few ways to fix this. technically its not broken, they want you to use the newest baseband/radio, since it disables lte. easiest way is to flash the .48 radio, which was already stated. there is also a method that involves editing a certain file(found in the original dev threads).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmacia06:
When she brings me the phone ill have a look at it. Thank you for the replies. Ill probably upgrade her baseband seeing as how she doesnt need lte. I flashed the 4.2.2 images available on the google developers website. All of them. Do those images comes with the baseband that is needed? It came with the radio, recovery, and a few other things... I forgot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmacia06:
Where can I get the 4.2.1 Images seeing as how it was taken down from the google website. And so the .48 boot loader image

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mineturtle33:
Alright, so I have had a nookcolor for some time now, and have used Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 for some time now. I really like it but I can't help but to remember when I was using CM 10. CM 10 was good, I liked the newness feeling it gave to my NC, but it was a bit slow for my liking. So now I have CM 7. I really like the interface (adw launcher) CM 7 has to offer. I have saved the ADW launcher APK to my SD. I feel like I would like to get a newer android on my NC, but I don't want it to be as laggy as when I first used CM 10. Should I stay with CM 7 or go back to CM 10?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mbinic:
Since this is probably my first post, I'd like to say hello and a thank you and good job to all the contributors to this forum, it has helped me get up to speed on many interesting and useful things. I myself would very much like to start doing the same, however my efforts seem to be hindered by my x-of-a-kind very-special-phone ;) Here's how it is:

The very same night I bought my phone I tried unlocking the bootloader (S1Tool and msm7227, or something like that), and bricked it. Everything went well until the restart - it couldn't turn on or even charge. The next day at the service shop they "hooked it up to the box and reset the software" (their words not mine), and everything was fine.

Since then I've rooted it (SuperOneClick), installed the dual touch driver, replaced some apps (e.g. Maps with a newer version), installed Clockwork recovery, and successfully tried out some roms using the stock kernel.

Now that I want to install Jellybean, and I need the bootloader unlocked, I went to a couple of shops, and they said it can't be unlocked. Though these are experienced people, the best reason I could get was "my phone was manufactured in a specific week, and those phones cannot have their bootloaders unlocked".

My question after all of this is: Is this true?

Being a developer and knowing how computers work, I simply can't believe that such a thing is not possible :confused:

Here are my phone specs, feel free to ask for more if I forgot something:

U20i, (bought in January of 2012, QWERTZ keyboard)

firmware: 2.1-update1,

build: 2.1.1.A.0.6,

kernel: 2.6.29 SEMCUser@SEMCHost #1

baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
There should be a sticker inside your phone with a manufacturing time-stamp on it (not the one on the battery, the other one)

That timestamp looks something like this: 11w42, where 11 is the year of manufacture, and 42 is the week. The numbers will probably be different on yours, but if it's on or after 11w29 then you are out of luck.

Sony Ericsson changed something in the phone after that date, which means the method we use to unlock our bootloader bricks those phones. (Not always, but most of the time)

I'm not saying it's impossible to do, it's just that no one has figured out how to do it yet, so with the current tools available, it will brick your phone again.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mbinic:
Thanks for the fast replay :) So that's where he got that...

Well, I seem to be in luck, unless I'm reading the wrong sticker, mine reads 11W17. (this one is upside down, in the bottom right corner of the phone).

So, what do I do now, try again with the same tools (from the bootloader post linked to by almost all ROMs), or are there any new/safer ones?

I'm sure I used the S1Tool and msm7227 script correctly, so I'm pretty much expecting the same outcome. Is there maybe a way for me to unbrick it myself? The first time it wouldn't even turn on, or charge, let alone get into flash mode...

The whole sticker reads:

1.8

P/N: 1237-6807

REV: 5 SAA

DATE: 11W17
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Just out of curiosity, what's on the other sticker?

I don't want to be responsible for bricking your phone :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mbinic:
Nothing good, of course.. I had to look ;)

The other one was below the battery, so I didn't see it the first time. That one reads 11W44 :( There's some other info, see attachment.

I don't know which is the right one, but I feel that's it. So, there are no tools for unlocking these phones yet?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Hmmmzzzzzzz yes, that's the Sony Ericsson product sticker, sorry mate :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mbinic:
Seems I'll be sticking with stock kernel ROMs, for now. Anyway, shout if you come across an unlocker that works ;) Many thanks for your help! :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Emperor.dk:
I also got two dates inside mine.

One behind the battery and another at the buttom (upside down)

Mine are also different! Better take the newest (latest date) in account.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] mbinic:
Yeah, after the first brick I wouldn't try the same tools again ;)

I would like to make a tool, or at least attempt a manual unlock, but I don't even know where to start...

I'll look into custom ROM making, maybe Jellybean can work with the stock kernel, or I maybe spilling nonsense; I intend to find out :cowboy:
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mrjraider:
Hi,

I do like the stock Bootanimation from Samsung Galaxy S and S Plus so I was searching for Stock Samsung.

The one from the Note II/ SII and SIV is one i do like so i was searching for it.

The Samsung Galaxy SII (mini) has the same resolution as our device (480*800) so its bootanimation works perfect!

At the attachment you can find the entire bootanimation (only for Stock GB atm = both files are qmg.. not supported in CM or CM based).

How to instal:

- Download ZIP

- Extract ZIP

- Put both files on your SDcard

- Move both to /system/media replacing the original ones (make a nandroid or backup from both files)

- Change permissions to RW-R--R--

- Reboot and Enjoy

What needs to be done:

- I cant get the Bootsound working from when changing it. I think it is kernel related but even with a kernel which supports custom sounds its not working..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sqeet:
Just recently installed the latest Swype beta. After I did so, upon trying to open my phone, I noticed that I have no keypad on the Enter PIN to Unlock screen.

I've tried power cycling the phone. Tried wiping cache and dalvik. Even re-ran the rom install hoping something would jar Swype into displaying the keyboard on the lock screen. All to no avail.

I'm wondering is there a way to make the keyboard / keypad appear without having to wipe data on my phone? I've savvy enough to handle messing around with adb/fastboot/etc. Just trying to do this without having to wipe and re-setup my phone all over again.

**EDIT**

Nevermind, I solved the issue. Just used 'adb shell' to remove the /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwype...

Reboot to recovery, wipe dalvik and cache, and you're good to go.
