I think it doesnt contain his IMEI info... instead we have to extract a backup for our device first and then restore if needed... it is clear that THIS METHOD WILL NOT WORK WHO HAVE NO IMEI AVAILABLE..

You are right. However. This will help to who still have good efs partition for preventing lost of imei. Especially now we have Lola great ROM for flashing.:p

[Windows 8 General] DripleX:
Is there a way to activate or create a two fingers scroll on desktop apps, like for a PDF-Editing Software?

Because I want to edit a PDF document and when I want to scroll I have to close the edit modus in the Software first.

On an Ipad there is this feature. You can edit a PDF file and if you want to scroll, you have to use two fingers.

Is there an app to create this multitouch gesture or to activate it on windows 8?

PS: I have an ASUS VivoTab Smart.

Sorry for my bad english but this is not my native language.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Just to be clear: scroll on-screen, not scroll on a touchpad, right? Because the latter is already supported on pretty much everything.

I guess I've never tried to scroll on the screen in "fingerpainting" mode. The worst I've done is accidentally tapped a word and selected it (or click a link) and had scroll attempts just change the selection area. THe rest of the time, one-finger scrolling works for me.

That said, there is an entire Windows control panel devoted to tablet behaviors and gestures. That's a good place to look. Try a Start search for "gesture" and look under Settings.
[Windows 8 General] DripleX:
Yes I mean scroll on-screen.

One finger scrolling works for me too, but when I edit a PDF file it would be easier to scroll with two fingers without tabbing the scroll-bar.

I found nothing to change or edit in Touchscreen options...
[Windows 8 General] devalian:
want to find out this too. how do i select text in excel or word when drag gesture is already scrolling and not selecting. quite frustrated.
[Windows 8 General] spiderbirdy:
You can mark text, just tab with one finger/pen fast/Short on it. Two moveable small circles are appearing to mark what you want. Works in IE, Office, and so on....

Hello,

I'm building my custom rom from AOSP grouper sources on my nexus 7.

Everything is working but not the GPS...

I did something wrong or is it normal, I have to do something else ?

Thank you

Did you add in the Broadcom proprietary binaries? I suspect that your answer will be yes, but I've never looked in the AOSP tree.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renehasekamp:
Hi,

I cannot find this through the search function on this Nexus 4 forum, although it is very weird.

I have downloaded (with my browser) several MP3 music files (from the web and from my own dropbox) to my Nexus 4 phone.

I can play them by clicking them from a file manager and choosing Google music player to complete the action.

But ... they do not show up in the Google music player. Neither do they show up in a few other music players I have installed (and removed again).

There are two exceptions:

- All music files do show up in the built in music player of the ES File Manager.

- I have set one downloaded MP3 as the standard ringtone on my phone. That file shows up in any music player.

What do I do wrong? Why does a downloaded MP3 not show up in a music player, unless I set it as my standard ringtone?

I live in a country where the Google Play Music store is not supported. But the ringtone-mp3 does not come from there!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Did you move the songs to your music folder?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PR0XiMA:
I have the exact same problem. I have also moved the files to my Music folder!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia file in that folder
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PR0XiMA:
But one thing that i thought was very weird was that, if i added an other song, it would show up...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renehasekamp:
That is right! Just after I added them, I could see them! Very weird.

And yes, I moved them to the Music folder, but the ringtone I use (also a downloaded mp3) is still in the downlosd folder, and I can nevertheless see it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
A ".nomedia" file is hidden. You would need to have show hidden files enabled to see it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renehasekamp:
[SOLVED] Use MTP from your Pc / laptop

Well, the problem has solved itself for me in the following way:

I am an Ubuntu user, and I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 yesterday evening.

Ubuntu (Lubuntu, Kubuntu etc.) 13.04 supports the MPT protocol Google wants us to use with our Nexus 4 'out of the box'.

I have read that Windows should do so too, but I cannot check that.

You connect your Nexus 4 to your PC or laptop and choose MTP (Media Tranfer Protocol) as the protocol to transfer files (I believe your phone chooses the other protocol by default). You do this from the notification area (where your notifications for new mail and app updates also appear).

Then you can copy music files from your PC / laptop to your phone to any directory in your phone. I suggest the Music directory. And, surprise, surprise, if you do it that way, the music files also appear in your Google Music Player!

The strange thing is, however, that you cannot transfer music files from your phone to your PC. It is a one-direction traffic. You also cannot delete files on your phone from your connected PC.

So if you want to make the invisible files on your phone visible in your Google music player, you have to delete them on the phone (from a file manager on the phone). I would copy them to Dropbox first, however. Then get them on your pc / laptop (by downloading them from Dropbox e.g.) and then copy them through the USB cable from you pc / laptop back to your phone. Strange, but that is how it works!

Do I understand this strange procedure? No, but it works. Enjoy!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PR0XiMA:
Negative! For me, using Windows 8 Pro x64. It works just fine using MTP, the only problem I am having is making folders. Then Windows Explorer crashes.

On Linux on my laptop (Linux Mint 14), i use ADB, which works just fine.

I only have this problem with two mixes from Never Say Die Records. But other songs works just fine...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OnTheMF:
I often do live streaming of events and from time to time I am forced to tether my cell to my laptop for internet access. This actually works better than you would expect. Anyway, back in the ICS (Task650 AOKP) days anytime I needed to do this I would use the old *#*#4636*#*# code and select "LTE only". This worked great, it disabled CDMA (so no calls or texts), and most importantly it prevented the phone from switching between CDMA and LTE (which obviously would be disastrous during a live stream).

Now that I am running JB (tried CM10.1 and Task650 AOKP), this doesn't work anymore. Even though LTE works perfectly fine under normal circumstances, when I select "LTE Only" the phone simply disconnects everything and I never get data back. It seems like there was a change in the modem options or something. When I go into Settings->Mobile Networks->Network Mode I can select LTE/WCDMA, LTE/GSM/WCDMA, GSM/WCDMA. If I select any of these options and go back to the phone info screen using the *#*# code, under "preferred network type" it says "Unknown."

I've tried two modems with the same results:

I747MUMLL1

I747MVLLH1

Any ideas on what I can do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OnTheMF:
A quick update. I did try the stock modem firmware. No change. I went back to a stock ROM, which no longer accepted the *#*# code, but did accept the *#2263# code which allowed me to select LTE band preference and locked it into LTE. Is there a way to get into this menu from an AOSP ROM? Is this specific to the dialer?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Maybe a APN change could help this but I don't think you can perma lock LTE as it's not available everywhere.

Also, mind if I ask why you wanna have LTE only? It's already set to use LTE when needed, therefor, you don't need to lock it on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OnTheMF:
Hi BWolf,

I had mentioned it in my first post but the reason I want LTE only is so I can prevent the switching of bands between LTE and HSPDA when I am live streaming. Anytime a switch occurs there's a down period of a few seconds which causes the live stream to freeze. Even with full LTE bars, the phone seems to switch every now and then.

I know it's possible, because I can do it on the stock ROM, and I could do it with the older AOSP ICS ROM's. After decompiling the stock FactoryTest.apk file it appears that everything is controlled using invokeOemRilRequestRaw commands. I'll dig into it a bit further, I'm sure there's a way to replicate the functionality.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OnTheMF:
Ugh. I was hoping the setting was actually achieved using some sort of simple command send to the baseband. That is not the case. Apparently the whole menu system resides in the baseband, and the serviceModeApp.apk app simply provides a dummy interface to display the choices and respond back with selections.

I think at this point it's a little more work than it's worth. I can always flash a nandroid of a stock rom for the streaming and then flash back afterwards. Not ideal, but it'll have to do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OnTheMF:
Ironically I just found in the source a c program that connects directly to the rild and issues commands to select certain radio options. Path is hardware/ril/rild/radiooptions.c. It connects to the debug ril socket to issue commands. A potentially super easy route to issue commands in the future would just be to modify that and run it as a command with superuser from java.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] kjhman:
I've been debating whether or not it would be worth it to upgrade to the one from my Verizon DNA. I know there are talks of a "supercharged" version of the one.... But I also like the fact of being able to go down to AT&T and pick up one tomorrow on my day off ;)

Anyone here come from a dna? Any thoughts, comments, ect are welcome. I don't usually post to forums. So here goes. Lol

Thanks

Keith
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
DNA has the same screen just bigger, same feel and look. Now with mods probably the same features. I guess it comes down to if you want to go with the metal or not. Plus doesn't the DNA only have 16 GB? those are the only upgrades. Plus a features here and there. Might not be worth it unless one of the above is a big deal to you.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] kjhman:
Thanks. Your right. I'm wondering weather it would be a waste of money or not. Thanks for putting in perspective for me.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keith843:
I'm wondering if you do upgrade, since the hardware is very similar if you soff, unlock, and flash an eng hboot if we could flash the current DNA vzw radio and use on vzw?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] kjhman:
That's way over my head buddy
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keith843:
Mine too, Lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
I don't think so, Verizon uses different radios. This MAY be possible with the sprint version but the DNA was special and had both CDMA and GSM. Just wait for Verizon to release, may take a while but it will be worth it. Remember that verizon won't activate just any phone. Usually it has to be one of theirs. It's not like GSM phones where you pop a sim in.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] keith843:
That's what confuses me, on my razr and the dna, the settings always change to gsm settings on vzw, and since I've had more freedom now I have an unlocked bootloader and soff, I flashed a eng hboot and able to flash a different radio. so with that being said, is the radio your speaking of the hardware radio or the firmware radio that comes out in software updates?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] joshuadjohnson22:
No it's hardware as far as I know. The devs confirmed that the CDMA and GSM versions are different. I would just hold off a month or so if you need it on Verizon
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SirSigma:
I would say upgrade.

Considering Verizon doesn't really play nice with HTC, you'll probably see a gimped or watered-down version of the One in a few months on Verizon if you're lucky. It'll likely have Verizon branding everywhere, a different hardware design so you need to buy new accessories just for it, and 16GB of storage with no room to grow.

I came from Verizon just for the One, and I think it was well worth it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Marcismo55:
+1 I do not regret the switch one bit especially with the traveling I am planning to do in the future.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] surge27:
I'm coming from the DNA and I say upgrade.

IMHO... Nothing wrong with DNA except storage space. I don't need external storage but over time...32gb is a minimum requirement for me. The One camera is perfect for me as well. A lot of my shots are taken in low light and there's no smartphone on the market that compares in this aspect.

Lastly, the dev support is awesome right now and will only grow in time.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ilogik:
Not true, put them side by side and you'll see that the One screen is brighter and "whiter". I like the screen on the One a lot more than the DNA, I dont regret changing phones one bit.

Also, if you have short stubby thumbs like me you can actually reach the other button, I had to use both hands on the DNA for that :)
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] omarabdelaal:
I upgraded from the DNA, and I haven't regretted it yet.. The camera is a big difference, I love blinkfeed, and I love the new aluminum body.. plus I get lte, so way faster
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] unctucker:
Was thinking about switching from Verizon for the one but both of my lines are unlimited and was kinda worried about loosing it. Now Verizon is offering its customer's the option to buy a new phone with a down payment plus monthly payments and I keep my unlimited. Plus I have an inside tip about Verizon's version of the One.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nattoleon:
not so necessary to change a new phone. my old phone was broken,so i got the htc one.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SiAvenger:
I'm using the DNA and the One right now.

Storage is a huge plus for me. LTE is nice, especially with unlimited data. And the One looks better.

But, if storage isn't a big deal for you, I wouldn't switch to the One. The two are very similar. Especially in performance.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] HiddenSanctum:
2020 mAh battery vs. 2300 mAh battery <- this might be a big factor?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nuprotocol:
THIS. The battery life is better, believe it or not the screen is actually more crisp. The phone feels more high end, it does operate faster, no more WiFi notification spam, you can delete all bookmarks w/o rooting. Root is currently available, where it isn't for the current software on the DNA. More space, you get LTE and mms w/o GoSMS. This is all assuming if you were using the DNA on att like I was. I didn't think it would be much of an upgrade but after a day of use it is and worth it. I liked the DNA so much bc I was willing to use it on att w/o LTE and mms, but the ONE is for sure an upgrade.

I was doing pretty well:

got su in place

then I did something stupid...I was planning to install custom rom..but I forgot to transfer it to the phone...

I did a wipe of cache, dalvik and system and suggested by rom poster...

and now I'm supposed to install the new rom..but oops..it's not on phone, and since its not removable, I dont know how to mount it...? i tried adb..but it doesn't seem to see the phone..and I'm really not sure what to do next?

Go to twrp website and they have directions on how to adb side load. Ill find a link I used on my DNA that gives clearer directions also. Adb sideload works the same on all devices that use twrp if in not mistaken
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thehungrymonkey:
hmmm, I went to the site and followed instructions...but....

when I run ADB sideload from phone in twrp...it just sits forever at starting ADB sideload feature and doesn't actually start....any suggestions? thanks for the quick response..I was a little panicky, but knowing that there is a possibility is very reassuring!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] keith843:
For you /path/to/file.zip, you need to put it in an easily accessible place like on the desktop.

then your path would be : C:\Users\*your user name*\Desktop

So your total set of commands with your phone in recovery and in adb sideload mode would be:

1. cd C:\Users\*your user name*\Desktop

2. adb sideload rom.zip
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thehungrymonkey:
My current problem is that the phone is stuck trying to start the ADB sideload feature. When I type ADB devices..just to make sure I wasn't actually connected, it lists no devices :( ... I think I can manage to transfer the file over if I could actually get the sideload feature to start.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] keith843:
Do you have the sdk downloaded to your pc?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thehungrymonkey:
yes, this seems to be a problem with twrp as sideload just wont start on the actual phone..just sits there saying starting....is there any other way to transfer a file?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Sloth:
Did you use my thread to unlock/flash twrp? If so run your commands from that folder and put the rom zip in that folder

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] keith843:
I do have a question tho, since the dna and ONE are closely related, if I had an unlocked, soff, eng hboot on the one, could a vzw radio be flashed and it work correctly or is that the hardware radio that determines if it would work?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] thehungrymonkey:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mahalocat:
Dario - If you can't figure out Sideload or how to ADB push - you can just run the RUU.

That will bring your phone back to an out of the box state. Then you need to go back and HTC unlock etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninadk:
I have searched a lot through web but just cannot find a solution for this.

Before taking the pill:fingers-crossed:, when everything was simple, I was able to access all my files and folders, that were visible in my file manager, on the PC.

Everything changed, after rooting the device and installing a custom ROM, it's a bit complicated. Not all folders from my phone are visible on the PC.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100. When I connect my phone to the PC, I can see 2 folders, Internal Storage+SdCard. Just recently I took a backup of everything using MyBackupPro and now I want to copy that backup to the PC. But it just wont show me the folders!

I am using Root Explorer on the phone and the paths are something like "/mnt/storage/sdcard1/rerware/.."

Now I copied this folder to "/mnt/storage/sdcard0/rerware", which is my Internal storage I guess. The folder is still not visible! :confused:

Please advise.
