[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] akwingnut:
Thank you all for your suggestions, I know I can install it another way its just Why is there a Made in China sticker instead of Made in Korea? What did I pay 300 for a knock-off from ATT? What isnt there a S/N on the sticker where there should be one? This is the reason of this post to see if anyone else has the same issues with there Notes, are they really Samsung Made in Korea or a Knock off Made in China? Thanks for your opinions...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
did you get a new or a refurb? my refurb (I warrantied mine due to issues) doesn't have the original samsung sticker which irritates me to an extent. Mine does say made in Korea though. no S/N on mine though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
+1 here

Made in Korea although remanufactured, without the s/n on it

Edit: Black with blue battery cover here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
I have a referb, and an original in front of me. Both have identical stickers under the battery. The referb has an additional sticker on it saying ATC. They both are black, made in korea, and have s/n numbers. So that rules the refurb idea out. Do you guys with missing s/n's have white phones by any chance? I'm wondering if the white version was made in china and the black version made in korea. Not trying to be racial, just curious cause wingnuts with the missing s/n is white and made in china and mine with the s/n is black and made in korea.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
it could also be different referb shops too. To think Sammy only contracts to one in Korea seems a tad naive. but that's a valid question about white vs black. mine is black and from Korea. also no ATC sticker on mine

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestK00345:
Well, just now, I did a battery pull (for no real reason) and under the battery in the lower right hand corner appears to be a sticker. This is outlined by two lines that form an "L". Now what is really concerning is that the sticker appears to be pink. From everything I know about those water damage indicators, if this is in fact a water damage indicator sticker, they are supposed to be white.

I've had this phone for a week..and it has not even been in a humid room or anything, so somebody please tell me I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing.

What color is your sticker that I referenced above?

Weird question:

Is there anything that I can do to my phone to get my cell service reception more quickly?

Let me explain....

I work in a hospital with horrible phone service.

Whenever I go to the parking garage and leave the hospital, it seems to take a long time to regain the bars for my phone service. it is like I go into the basement, lose service and have to wait a long time to regain it. I use Sprint.

Sometimes I have to put it into airplane mode and right back to get the phone service to work.

It eventually will come back, but it is taking too .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mahgnillig:
Does anyone know if you can turn off the super loud T-Mobile jingle that plays when you shut the phone off? Most of the time if I turn my phone off it's because I need it to be quiet (no interruptions, not even vibrate). It kind of defeats the purpose of trying to be quiet when the phone is so loud every time you turn it off!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ss429842:
1. just delete shutanimation sound file from >system>media

{[work for rooted phones only]}

2. see any settings of turning off that in sound settings(nonrooted)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rwt4jc:
Eliminate loud shutdown sound.

After I rooted my phone I installed root explorer and went to System/media/audio/ui. Scroll down from there and find the PowerOff.ogg file. Look up at the top of the screen and tap the grey "Mount R/W" button. I just did a tap and hold and selected "move" and backed up one directory to the "audio" folder and pasted it there just in case I wanted to replace it.

When you did these two installs, did you wipe cache, dalvik, system, and factory reset?

I have two HTC One

In the Screen, one of them have a bluish tint or I can say, the other one is less bluish

Analogous to Cool vs Warm Display in External LCD Monitors.

The problem is I own only one of them and the less bluish one is in exchange of more bluish one.

I am replacing because of gap between Beezel and Chassis.

hiya

recent convert from mobile to pda

does anyone know if we can stick smilies or ems pic on our sms

or even receive them :?:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
no the sms recieve part of the OS dont support ems and cant be made to wihtout rewriting parts of windows ce

but people said that it could be made to send ems if parts of outlook were changed to made those ems codes

you can of cause make manual smilies like :)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] chriswo:
Is the change really that serious? I thought the SMS receiving function was only handled by one DLL called SMSReceiver_DLL.dll.

I have tried sending an EMS from a Nokia phone to Xda II, unfortunately I got no response from Xda II at all, I mean NOTHING, no notification, no garbage characters SMS in Inbox (tmail.exe), not a single sign of any incoming sms or anything!

I suspect that this SMSReceiver thingy is written to handle SMS only, and anything with a header which does not comply to a normal SMS, namingly EMS -- IT DOES NOTHING! This is most unfair. :(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
yeah that might do it

of cause you would also have to make some application to make then

and possibly view them something like mms compose

i dont think that outlook and display pictures like that

of cause i could be wrong

also composing them would also prob be an issue with outlook

i think that phonecompany's and cellphone makers are pushing mms these days so i doubt that it will be in the xda3

do the newer nokia and sonyericsson even support the std anymore ?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] chriswo:
there was a program by eMood soft which handles EMS message (sending & receiving) but it's not designed for Phone Edition. I installed it, it looked good but too bad it can only work via Com ports, IR, Bluetooth etc ... Can't use it on Xda II at all. And the website for this eMood seems to have shut for good. No sign of any other software that works under WM2003 Phone Edition. :(

Well, as you said most providers are now pushing for MMS ... but in many Asian countries, EMS are still widely used for leisure. And for new Nokia phones or SE phones (even P900), EMS seems to be pretty standard.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kobalt.Kitsune:
I would use cwm normally, but I am trying to flash backtrack on my data partition so I have to use odin. I don't know why it won't work though... It could be a problem with my .tar file (I just got the data and boot image in it) but I doubt it.

Edit: One more thing that might help, in odin, it crashes on "File Analysis". I think it might be a problem with the data.img. I don't know what it could be to cause odin to give that error though.

[MENTION=5102294]Joe0113[/MENTION] You posted this on another one of your threads;

"I just LOVE 4.2.2 not even the "AOSP feel"; yeah it's cool I will admit but I'm on an AOSP ROM 95% because of 4.2.2. Love the lock screen widgets, quicksettings tiles especially, come in very handy at times. Also some of the features the Dev has put into the ROM is awesome. I guess I'll see over the weekend if I'm gonna stick with AOSP or go back to TouchWiz with M.O.A.R."

Here is the definition, hypocritical - professing feelings or virtues one does not have; "hypocritical praise"

I think it means that it prevents your phone from going into deep sleep. :)

Not entirely sure though, you might want to wait for someone to confirm what I said or tell you what it really means.

Regarding your question in post #1:

What have you been doing on your phone (i.e. playing games, phone calls, watching videos)? Do you have GPS and Bluetooth on? WiFi? 3G? How many (and which) widgets do you use?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinesh690:
Wakelocks stop your phone from entering deep sleep which therefore causes battey drain. The app will tell you what is causing the wakelocks so you know what is draining your battery and can deal with it. However, it might just be that your phone usage is causing the battery drain e.g 3G and GPS always on as the battery life isn't exactly amazing on the nexus 4

[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
So something very simple. Just a little batch file I made but I thought is useful.

NOTE: The point of this batch file is to be able to sign apk's and zips from anywhere in any of your directories, without needing to have the signapk.jar and key files in the same directory. It will not perform any magic and sign system apps with the system signature, or non-system apps with the system signature.

This will sign whatever you give to it...just put it somewhere that is in your path and edit the line that says this:

set signdir=[U][B]C:\eclipse-adt\cmdtools[/B][/U]

Change C:\eclipse-adt\cmdtools to the path of wherever your signapk.jar file is (your keys should be in that same folder, named publickey.x509.pem and privatekey.pk8).

Example:

set signdir=[U][B]C:\bill\android\signing-tools[/B][/U]

Anyway, usage for the batch file is as follows (also tells you usage if you pass no parameters to the batch file, e.g. just call signapk).

Signapk.bat: Sign files from anywhere

Usage: signapk inFile [outfile]

Examples:
signapk mod1.zip [implicit 2nd parameter of mod1-signed.zip]
signapk mod1.zip finalMod.zip
signapk frameworkTW.apk softkeyHack.apk

First example will output a mod1-signed.zip as the signed version of mod1.zip.

Second example will output finalMod.zip as the signed version of mod1.zip.

Third example will output fsoftkeyHack.apk as the signed version of frameworkTW.apk.

Note that if you only pass ONE parameter to the batch file (e.g. the file to sign), then the output file will ALWAYS be named <fileName>-signed.<extension>, as mod1.zip created a mod1-signed.zip output in the example above.

So yeah. Very simple, but I was getting tired of copying my files to my signapk directory and then copying back...so just thought I should share.

If you don't feel like downloading the file, you can create it yourself by copying the content from here: pastebin.com/u6Zj3rsH and pasting it into a file named "<FILE_NAME_HERE>.bat".

[MOD] Camera during call and shutter sound on/off Enabled

Very easy mod to do just make sure your rooted and have root explorer on your phone.

Go to root explorer scroll down to system click on it scroll to CSC click on it now scroll down to Feature XML. Open it in text editor. Look for <CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>True</CscFeature change the text from false to true that will open the option in the camera so that you can turn the sound on and off. Now look for <CscFeature_Camera_EnableCameraDuringCall>True</CscFeature change the text from false to true. Take note to the pic below. Once you do that back out and save than reboot your phone and you're all set.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SAShady:
I posted this in the picture thread but while in the camera app you can say "SHOOT" to snap a picture. That way you don't have to fumble with the camera button while holding the phone one handed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] travisw0204:
You have to turn Voice Control on first in Settings. Then click to the left of the On/Off toggle where it says Voice Control and make sure the Camera selection is checked for this to work.
