[LG Optimus Black] cookiepuppy:
So if i reboot, and then change perms, will it work, coz i really dont know how to make a flashable zip (i have to look for it), i wonder why i was able to change perms after copying the files? After i copy to system folder and chose the file i was able to set perms to RW R R.

The funny thing i started all this mess coz i went back from ultrasound v4 to marvel v12 beta, and i wanted to have the sliding brightness option and also the ultrasound FX to work on marvel. I manage to set the sony walkman, but the brightness and ultrasoundFX didnt work. I think the best thing to enjoy all of this is going back to ultrasound v4 and try different kernel, to get more juice of my freaking battery hehe
[LG Optimus Black] ykumar00:
A reboot should solve it, if it didnt, then it is a different problem.

Maybe the files from Ultrasound And Marvel aren't compatible with each other. Sorry Couldn't help.

You could try making Dalvik and Cache wipes.

Hi,

is there something know if Windows Blue will be a new Version you need to buy, or if Microsoft brings Christmas forward and all Win 8 users get the new Update??

For PC it doesn't matter for me, i'll get the new 8.1 but for Surface??

Also it would be nice to know if a complete reinstalle is necessary.

Would be great if someone has some Information about this
[Windows 8 General] Ndaoud360:
I assume everyone gets the update if on Windows 8
[Windows 8 General] Tel864:
Almost surely it won't require a complete reinstall. The are going to bring back the Start Menu in a limited form. It will just be a link to the desktop and not include the full Start Menu. This follows a planned move: a boot to desktop option. Microsoft will add an option to allow users to boot directly to the traditional desktop.

That sounds great. I'm really looking forward to the 50:50 dock
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
8.1 is interesting. Per MS' new "devices & services" direction, it would've been a paid update in normal circumstances--as also denoted by the "8.1" designation, since only "service packs" were free updates under the old regime. But I agree with others that it'll be a free update, as circumstances are definitely not normal. Win8's foothold is tenuous at best, and the antipathy it has engendered would be nothing compared to the sh!tstorm that would occur if MS decides to charge for this one. I doubt even MS is that oblivious.

As for the "menu or button" thing, it's not cast in stone. We'll see what happens. It may seem a little amusing that such a trivial change is even debated over, but that is how delicately Metro's fate hangs in the balance.

I like the turmoil. Turbulence is good, as it rouses the monopolist and forces it to compete on other than sheer inertia (which there still is plenty of). That usually means a better widget or a better price, and either way the consumer wins.

It's safe to guess that Wintel toys will be cheaper come this holiday season. That would not happen if Win8 was a breakout hit. Thank Apple for its trailblazing, Android for its lowballing, and MS for its usual ineptness. Tomorrow is another fun day.

No It's A Big Update.

You can update your windows 8 pro or RT to win 8.1 pro preview by downloading 9 MB from win store then while installing the 9MB pack it will download immediately 1GB or more...

If you are running other vertion of windows (other than pro or RT) you have to download the hole windows 2.5 GB (32bit) / 3.5 GB (64bit)

Hope I helped you :D
[Windows 8 General] xWolf13:
Not just Pro. Also RT.. But if you upgrade to 8.1 on your RT device you will lose your legacy apps meaning you would have to wait for another jailbreak for it.
[Windows 8 General] XEROling:
Thanx

Thanks for correction :D

(I have corrected my answer)
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The update is greater than 9mb, the 9mb file from the store is just the installer, the installer then downloads something like a gb or so on top of that.
[Windows 8 General] HandyBesitzer:
thanks i allready read, that all win 8 user get 8.1.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harddisk_wp:
Hey all,

for some reason I have a infinite boot loop on my rooted Note (the boot animation plays, but then it restarts); firmware version is stock XXLSZ with root and CWM Recovery 6.0.3.0/PhilZ Touch 4.

I have not done anything to the OS since I fixed it up the last time a month ago; and once again I have no backup of the data on the internal memory.

How can I find out what is broken, and how do I get the data off the phone with CWM recovery? adb shell works and the data in /data, /system and /emmc still appears to be there, however I can't mount /sd-ext - cwm says "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /sd-ext (no such file).

dmesg shows this here:

To me this sounds like a dead SD card (can't test though, no other SD reader), but even without the SD card the phone refuses to boot :/

Any idea how to get at least the phone booting again or where to look for errors?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
No. It will not be. Try cleaning the internal storage by mounting it in recovery using the mounts and storage menu and then mount usb storage. Then connect to pc. Check for drives

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spikestrip:
You're right about that. The chip supports it. But they only support radios in their own regions, for the most part. It would need radios capable of picking up all those networks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toadsurfer:
Be very careful about buying from Korea. I'm in New Zealand and had to return my LG Optimus G Pro as some of the 3G frequencies were not supported despite the inter national specs saying they were.

Also apps like gosms did not work as a go around for the 80 sms character limit.

I really wouldn't bother risking it for a marginally faster phone. Get one at home where you know it is optimised to work on your home networks.

Hi folks

I bought a korean sgs-iv 32gb at XXX link removed due to forum policy XXX

I use it in germany on e-plus network and it works fine. I haven't tested LTE cuse I don't need it.

I could switch the phone and input to german language and almost everything is like a standard german s4 only some widgets remained korean and sms only support 80 chars. I'm optimistice that i'll be able to fix those small problems (with some help from YOU at XDAD).

btw the korean s4 has an antenna for dvbm, it's useless in europe but I use it to distinguish myself from the other standart s4 users and say: "size matters :)".

I'm fully sattisfied with my purchase. It took about one week till my device was deliverd, the shop informed me abut every step in the delivery process (e.g. device arrived in europe..).

if you got any questions about the korean version i'll try to answre them... i'd say go ahead and get one...

Unfortunately those are part of the stock rom so we won't be able to change the korean language for all system apps. a work around on the 80char sms would be to use 3rd party apps such Go SMS. ive been using it since day1. by the way make sure to backup your STOCK rom for SHV-E300L, there aren't seem to be any roms like that available even here in XDADevelopers. incase you encountere software problem its always a good idea to have a backup on your pc.
