Lmao. I have a kindle fire 2 with an unlockable boot loader.

Boot loader still locked. So.... You just load a SECOND bootloader.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
I just replaced my glass with a glass kit from Amazon. It was quite easy. However, it seems this glass is quite inferior. The display is not nearly as vivid, and the glass seems to reflect a lot of light. The screen is almost completely washed out an unusable in sunlight. I'm assuming it's the kind of glass this cheap $25 thing used.

Is there a known good OEM quality glass I can use that doesn't suck?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheSocalGuy79:
I replaced my glass as well. However I went on eBay and ordered a complete OEM LCD+Digitizer. Only because I've read reports that the glass alone is a cheaper quality.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
The original screen and digitizer is bonded (glued) to the OLED display. I don't know how the original bonding is done, but I would guess that the method and bonding material has a lot to do with how transparent and free of reflections the display is. Seems like something that would be really hard for a do-it-yourselfer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
Ya there was optical glue between the display and the glass. The DIY $25 replacement glass doesn't have that. Just the tape around the edges. It looks like other have had the same result as me. I'm going to be sending it in to Samsung for their $178 OEM repair/replacement. This cheap glass will get me through the week and I'll send it in on Sunday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBKBurger:
I had the same issue and I ended up just paying Samsung for a replacement because it was so bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
You know what's funny about this. For the 13 years I've owned a cell phone (always with sprint), I had the $7/mo total protection thing. Never once in 13 years did I ever break a phone. When I bought the S3 in the fall, I said screw this waste of money and dumped the total protection plan. Of course, I then promptly drop my phone off a ladder and smash the screen. (@&#$.

At first I was annoyed. Then I realized that total protection plan has a $150 deductible. It's only $178 to send it in for repair. Now I'm not as mad at myself. Although if I totally destroyed it or lost it, that would probably be a different scenario.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
So my sister just got her S3 and dropped it. Screen had multiple cracks in it. She thought it would be easier to order just the top layer since the screen still could be touched. But when she tried to repair it the other screen came off and now it's just a black screen. I'm wondering if the most we would have to pay is 150$?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MCL1981:
It is $178, not $150. I'm not sure if that will cover the cost of the display too, or just the glass. I think it might cover the whole display and the glass.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ikonz0r:
Are there any places that sell the Gorilla glass version of the top glass and not the cheap glass? I've found several chinese sellers on ebay, but they all look like the knock-off version of the glass.

hi people. I love my nexus 4 but lets face it they was pretty stingy on the memory side of things. does anyone have the schematics of the nexus 4? im thinking of the idea to take the phone apart and replace the internal memory with a bigger memory. or if that's not possible then maybe branching another memory to it? need some tech minds behind this so love to hear peoples input
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eminembdg:
Use cloud storage. Clean up junk files and apps you don't use.

If you really want to mess with your phone that's your business. But it's not simply a matter of actually having a removable flash memory chip in your phone that you can replace.

You can easily Google the parts of your phone. There's a nice breakdown with pictures of the internals on ifixit.com

I have a crap tonne of stuff on my phone like roms, mods, themes, fonts etc etc. A whole bunch of stuff and still don't come close to filling my 16 gigs.

I have about 120 gigs of free cloud storage that I use

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeinessex:
cloud isn't a option. its based on data transfer and it cost to have it aswell. I understand it wil have to be desoldered and new one soldered on. that's not the problem an engineer. what I need to know is if I did do that then would the phone still function after installing a new rom. or even function to install a new rom. when Samsung started with smartphones they advertised as internal sd. not internal memory. which made me believe that we have infact got a memory on the board plus a soldered on type sd card inside in which case it shouldn't have any effect being changed?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ptesmoke:
Challenge accepted Mr.Engineer.

Your first step is understanding flashing a new ROM has nothing to do with installed internal storage. This happens at a much lower level, you'd need a flash programmer that can read and write our specific N4 storage chip to pull the firmware off the old storage chip and write it to the new one...or know someone at LG with all of the hardware and software to program it. So your first bit of work would be finding the chip part number and finding its data sheets.

Also assuming you have the equipment to even desolder and solder a chip at that level.

Or you could just wait a month for a 32gb N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aanonymoushuman:
I am not a tech so don't judge, but if you want to do something like this first find the most similar device and in this case I would suggest the opt us g e975 (it has 32 GB storage)

Hello, I am using a Droid Razr Maxx CDMA (XT912). I have Android version 4.2.2. I am using Cyanogen mod 10.1.

I am having problems opening ADB. When I turn my USB Debugging on under my dev. options, connect my device in PTP mode using the terminal emulator commands:

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage

reboot

I run the ADB program and a window comes up for a brief moment then closes. I am unable to open ADB. I have Java.

Thank You!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nathanielhall929:
ADB Troubles Cont'd.

Did adb kill-server and adb start-server several times in cmd with no avail. The device serial number shows up under adb devices, but ADB Program will still not open. I've tried to open ADB up in cmd also.

I also tried typing in the terminal emulator:

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage, adb

reboot

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nathanielhall929:
Can someone please help me with this?

I even tried installing the Universal naked drivers and that wouldn't go through.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tobdaryl:
I copied your command and pasted here. setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage, adb

And what I find is posted here. setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

And reboot afterwards.

Notice the extra space in your command before adb?

I found this command structure several locations and only one that reports failed has the space.

For ICS it also shows adb shell as in

adb shell setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

adb reboot

I hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nathanielhall929:
Tried it without the space and still not working

I just tried it without the space, rebooted, and nothing
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nathanielhall929:
I don't get it

The ADB Program just won't open up on this computer. It opens for a second spewing command info then closes. Is it my Java program?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tobdaryl:
Are you getting an error?

This is the other method I see being used but I'll break the command as I believe it should be.

adb shell

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb

exit

adb reboot

My problem is I know nothing about your unit and I don't know whether it should be mtp or mass_storage. I see people failing with mass_storage are being told to use mtp.

in terminal it shows

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

reboot

or

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb

reboot

To retrieve this info I used the top search that says Search All Forums and typed in your command then hit search. You may need to do the same and only go to the threads that suit your situation.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Are you opening cmd and going to the directory with adb and issue your commands or are you trying to click on adb and use it that way?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nathanielhall929:
I'm trying to run it in cmd

I've been trying to fix this for two days now. I'll be back tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nathanielhall929:
Figured out

Ok, now I feel like I'm a real noob. I just realized that I was thinking too hard about all of this. Adb doesn't open up in a new window as a regular program would. I thought it did. Oops. Maybe I should have been more thourough in my research. I should have realized that I already opened adb by using the cmd prompt.

This is why my device was recognized under adb devices.

So I'm relatively new to Tasker and have been generally just searching for write ups on certain tasks/profiles I'm interested in but am running into a wall. Basically, I want to create a task that turns my screen brightness up to 70% when I'm driving, then back down to 25% when I've reached a destination (which will not always be predetermined). For now I just have it so when I'm at home my screen brightness is 25%.

Any advice?

Thanks.

Do you connect to bluetooth or is there something you always do in your car?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sirdowski:
Hmm... Not that in can think of. I don't use blue tooth that often.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Darn, I'll think about it then. I have driving profiles, but I always connect to my blue tooth in my car so that's the trigger for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sirdowski:
Thanks, I appreciate that.

Is there anyway to adjust the gps from updating once every 3 minutes to see if I'm at home? Killing my battery.

Edit: The best solutions I have found are A) Using Net instead of GPS . It's accurate enough for my needs and doesn't really effect the battery. B) setting my brightness to dim when at home and brighten when leaving home. This allows it to brighten any time I'm on the road but dim when returning home. Any other locations -such as work or other places I frequent- will have to be added in a similar manner to my solution for home.

Thanks for the input!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sirdowski:
I have a new issue. If someone wouldn't mind chiming in I'd appreciate it.

I have a profile set up in Tasker to turn on gps when I open maps and turn gps off when I close maps. I installed secure settings, the secure settings plug in and have tested it and have confirmed it is working well. The issue is, when I turn off the screen or switch to another app, despite the fact that maps is running in the background, gps still shuts off. I'm still very new to Tasker and only have a vague understanding of variables, but I can't help but think there's a solution involving a variable.

Thanks for any input!

Normally the green bar that the arrow is pointing to is red, but since the time specified in the variable matches the time in the status bar it turns green. So something is happening, it's just not sending the message.

Hello, Im new to the XDA forum but I would like to present a way for Windows RT jailbreakers to easily install non-MS signed ARM programs to their tablets with ease.

I have been working on a program called the Homebrew Hub which will allow users to setup repos like the popular Cydia for iphones.

The program will cache the repos and allow the user to install ARM compiled software to your Windows RT device.

I was also wondering if the creator of the actual jailbreak would be willing to incorporate this into the jailbreak itself so the install process is easy.

I would very much like to use my MDA II for both personal as well as business phone-calls using a dual SIM adapter (one SIM on 1 network is for personal use, the other one on another network is for business use).

To achieve this I would like to hear any experiences on this subject, but most of all:

1. WHAT Dual-SIM adapter (apart from the ones where you have to cut the two SIMs to fit into 1 adapter that in its place fits into the SIM slot of the MDA II) fits into the MDA II / XDA II / QTek 2020 / iMate well???

2. HOW do I get the phone application (or any replacement) to display the appropiate operator logo (just like I could with my old nokia for 1 operator) instead of the operator name? I tried the registry setting explained somewhere on the forum for the XDA I, but that appears not to work on the II device.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] j_metselaars:
For your XDA 2 it is more easy for an operator logo! Just make a gif file with as maximum 20 pixels high! Then name the file carrierlogo.gif and place it in your /windows folder and softreset!

Or buy Netphone Logo from Jgui
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
The carierlogo.gif 'trick' will only support 1 logo AND it needs a soft-reset.

I want to use multiple logo's (one per network my MDAII connects to). When the MDAII detects a new network, it should show the correct logo.

This is especially useful together with a dual SIM (most adaptors switch SIM after of/on of the phone (which of course can be done on the MDAII to go into and out-of flight mode . . .
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] j_metselaars:
Sorry, impossible for sure!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
mmm, thats a pity.

The registry trick for XDA I seemed to be able to handle this . . .

That leaves me with the question WHAT type of Dual SIM adapter should fit into the MDAII.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
Hey Perry, thats the one I did try allready.

It was originally for the XDAI (but WM2003)

Maybe I made some mistake before. Also I have a new rom now.

I'll try again

In short:

1. Create a picture you want to use (it is claimed gif, jpg, bmp and png are valid formats, format must be max 20px(H) x 150px(w))

2. Create (if needed) a registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\CarrierLogo

3. Create a string value

Name = Operator code, just the digits (lookup: http://www.mobilforum.hu/main/operator/operator.php or

http://www.techgsm.com/page/gsm-provider-codes/network-provider-identify-codes.html )

Value = path to the picture

4. Restart phone

BTW I found a dual sim: King of double card, type MAI-E (on ebay, less than 10euro)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
:(

No luck again. Seems that this simply does NOT work on my device.

BTW, what DOES work is to change the operator name shown:

You can customize the Operator names:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames]

Name = operatorcode

Value = Text Shown

Examples:

"20408"="NL KPN"

"20620"="BASE"

"20810"="SFR"

Of course this is only useful if you want the name shown to be different from the standard.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] superperry:
To "edsub" Thanks for trying! And for now I guess I will used the carrierlogo.gif trick that you posted above that works for me.. ;) And maybe if I get tired of logo that I could used the hack that you mentioned on how to change Operator names. :)

Thanks mate!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
Superperry: WHAT carrierlogo.gif trick are you referring to?

I know of one: copy a operatorlogo picture as carierlogo.gif in \windows.

But that does not work either with me . . .
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] superperry:
"Carrierlogo.gif in \windows" the one you posted/suggested on very beggining, that works for me. Maybe you missed type the spelling of carrierlogo.gif? (just incase) ;)

But this one trick "

doesn't wok for me when I tried it. I am using Resco registry editor and should I use "new string" on OperatorNames?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] edsub:
mmm, I must have been typing errors more than once. Indeed the carrielogo trick works with me too.

To change the operator-name shown you need to create (for every operator you want)

a "Value name" containing the operator-code (5 digits)

a "Value data" (string / REG_SZ) containing the name you want to display
