[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Darkman:
I have been using my XDAII for a few weeks very successfully with the TomTom3 navigator software and a GPS receiver connected to the serial port (on COM1). Then I decided to install the Bluetooth tools from http://bluetooth.i-networx.de to try and use my phone with a Nokia bluetooth car kit. Unfortunately it didn't work, but now COM1 is unavailable.

When I run my TomTom navigator, I now get the error message 'COM1 is unavailable', and I've noticed in ActiveSync that if I go File>Connection Settings, it shows COM1 as unavailable and greyed out in the selection box.

Performing a Hard Reset hasn't cured the problem.

Does anyone know how to make COM1 available again?

Hey yall I am trying to restore my Sprint VVM and I have downloaded a few random APKs from xda and pushed them to system and they are fizzling out in the long run. Glitchy and not working properly.

If anyone has some files they know will work on JB, CM10 or CM10.1 please post up or point me in the right direction. I think others will find this info useful as well as most people prefer VVM to google voice and the loss of VM in CM builds is unbearable.

Can someone pull the file from the soak test? Is there a link to the soak test file still where I can try and pull it?

TIA
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Did you check this thread? OP says it works on CM10.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I've tried both of these, one comes from the post linked above, and neither of them work. The 3mb file at least stays open without crashing but it never retreives any voicemails.

Anyone, be sure and let me know if/how you get these to work.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arbosus:
I just copied the one that was on my stock ics seems to work fine for me.... i remember it upgraded once cant remember if i was onn the jb soak or not
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gtownswagga:
Matt2k12 i got an apk off of google in pushed to system/app. Its works but a work around persay. If you receive a voicemail. Your notified through the text message. It says call 605******* but doesnt work. What does work is hold down 1 in the dial pad. It calls your voicemail and you enter yur password and then you get your voicemail. I also got the 9016 message with it as well. But regardless you have the ability to listen to your voicemail. I have the apk that im using for this to work but dont now how to upload it to xda. If you know how to please tell me.my vvm is version 5.3.0.30
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] matt2k12:
I went into my stock asanti C zip using Solid Explorer and moved over 2 apk files that were both in the system/app folder. First was SprintVoiceMail.apk @ 64.78kb. Second was VVM.apk which was 3.58mb. I thought I needed them both since they were both in that zip file. But when I rebooted I had 2 voicemail apps. The 64kb one direct dials VM and the 3.5mb one obviously is the VVM app. I successfully sent the activation text (activate@VVM.sprint.com) and got some sort of confirmation message on screen (forget now) and then I even sent a VM to myself to test it. It took a few minutes to come in but it did. But then I got a call a little bit later and the guy left me a message cuz I got the 9016 but I never got the VVM notification. Indeed, its not in my VVM inbox either. Can you please confirm which of these files you have in your system/app folder? Did you install or extract to those files or simply move/copy to from the zip as I did?

TIA
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gtownswagga:
I just copied the vvm apk to system/app and rebooted. When i get a voicemail i dont get a notification in the app either. But i get a text thst says the phone number that left the voicemail. Then i hold 1 in the phone dialer and it calls voicemail and i listen to the voicemail. I know its eritating not being able to use the app itself but at least you have the ability to listen to voicemail

Ok I've got a Sony Xperia Z, so the phone I'm about to buy isn't for me.

I'm looking for an Android phone that costs about $100. The only thing I'm(Well not me) going to with the phone is call/text/whatsapp.

Any suggestions what to buy?

I don't want to be too picky the things I'm looking for in the phone is an upgradable phone (In terms of Android version) Not that important though.

Not too small screen, but also not too big, about 4". That's about it.
[General Questions and Answers] Chromium:
check out the htc desire. You could probably find one for around $100, it has a 3.7 inch screen, and theres a lot of active developers and support for the phone.

Android for under $100

Hi ya,

I'm new to the XDA but i've been a long time user of Android since the G1.

You didnt mention what carrier you were going with but I did a little research and there are some decent $100 phones from Metro PCS.

I did some digging for you and found a few contract free phones you might want to look into.

XDA won't let me post links so go to the Sears website and search: LG Optimus NetPre-Paid Mobile Phone NTLGL45CP at $49.99 on sale now. It was $99.99. So with the savings you could get it unlocked for the carrier you use. It's CDMA on NET10 wireless so it doesn't use a sim card fyi.

And one more deal that's pretty good but above your budget is: LG Optimus L9 Android 4.0 Prepaid Smartphone $180

Its from Slickdeals and actually its a bit above your budget but a very good phone that has no contract and uses a sim card. We got one for my Mom for Mothersday.

Go to slickdeals and search: LG Optimus L9 Android 4.0 Prepaid Smartphone $180

I hope this helps alil.

Read carefully the details... it's now a free version for Sense 4+ means only JB ROMs with full Sense.

It won't work any version of mySENSEdx (RC1.0, RC2.0, RC3.0, RC3.5) which is Sense 4.1.

It works on mySENSEdx+ which is a Full Sense 4+; soon to be released once hTC release OTA JB update for my region HTC__044

Gotta go now... be back on 7th May... enjoy your stay with XDA :D

Alright so actually i should wait until you release this rom ?? Then upgrade my phone to 4+ and then install your rom ??. But ckpv5 will the rom be like mysensedx3.0 based on htc one sv ?? Or like mysensedxrc2.0 based on htc one s. Because i think the size of all widgets from mysensedxrc2.0 loook sooo much better thats why i pmed you for mysensedx rc2.0

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9070P
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
If you don't have backups you can't recover it, you will need a service box or send back to samsung, but that's risky, because that's not covered by the warranty.

Which files/folders have you copied exactly ?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skarllot:
I've overwritten entire EFS partition thru dd.

I do not had backup and the partition was already corrupted.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaaan:
The original imei should be available on the box in which the phone is shipped. Search it. Then you will have to dd the efs partition as an image file and edit the imei in it using hex.

It's difficult, but your original imei can be recovered!

I do not respond to tech support via PM
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
I tried it on my phone (ace 2 - same novathor chipset) but after I flashed a new efs my imei still was the same.

Are you sure you didn't changed anything else ?

Also you can try this: *#197328640# in dialer, and search for "NV Restore" or "NV Rebuild" option (for me it's under "Common") I'm not sure how it works, but maybe the phone has some backups on a different partition.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skarllot:
I've tried to delete every file on /efs but cloned IMEI remains.

I think that IMEI is stored or cached anywhere else.

I already tried that option (NV Restore).
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
Modemfs also contains some files from the EFS partitions RFHAL.DEF/RFHAL folder.

Have you flashed a JB or any firmware with repartition ?

I noticed from a log file in /efs/pre_recovery.log, when the device is repartitioned there is an additional check if the imei is valid or requires a restore.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skarllot:
Exactly, my 3G stopped working after downgrade using Philippines ROM and I tried check repartition.

My 3G started to work after I copied modemfs partition from my friend device.

Do you know how to recover from that?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
Well if you don't have backups it's difficult because I can't even tell where the phone stores the imei, or how does it work.

Of course it's possible to reverse encryption and edit the files from your friends phone but it's VERY difficult.

It's clearly uses a different method, because there is no nv_data.bin (on other Samsung devices the imei/simlock/product code are stored in this file).

If I find anything I'll let you know.

The cheapest sollution is offered by this guy: http://forum.samdroid.net/f70/repair-imei-s2-5729/

Or a very risky sollution: Brick the device and send back to the repair center if it's still under warranty.

Edit: Try flashing that rom again with repartition and see what happens, also check the efs/pre_recovery.log, for me says "valid IMEI & skip restore" so obviously there are at least 2 places for the imei, that's why for me doesn't changes even if I wipe the efs.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giagia96:
I've lost the imei some months ago and i've solved flashing the italian GB firmware, but you can also use another firmware.

Inviato dal mio GT-I9070 con Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szaby59:
You probably flashed a wrong modem, but basically you didn't lost your IMEI, just the modem part wasn't for your device and it couldn't get the info.

This usually happens when you flash a firmware from different region, for example i9070L rom on i9070 device.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skarllot:
There's no way to regenerate/restore the modem part?

I wrote this to giagia96.

In your case I don't know why the phone "decided" to change the imei.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
I'd have asked this in one of the dev forums, but this doesn't refer to a current app. It could down the line, but not now. So I hope this is the right place. I gather that it does from the intro posts for those forums.

I need to communicate with a N4 from a remote device so that it has some information that it would use under certain conditions. The remote device could be another mobile device or a computer. This may require that I develop an app for the N4, but it's very possible, maybe even likely, that Tasker could be sufficient for these needs. The need may be to push some .mp3 files to the device or indicate to the device which of a set of .mp3 files are of immediate concern or to pass along some programmatic values to the N4, which would then respond accordingly. Those details probably don't matter that much at the moment. It's more about communicating between the devices than what the communication happens to be.

I could upload files to the N4 via ftp as long as a server is active on the N4. Not ideal, but potentially doable. Some other wifi communication could work, too. I suspect that the N4 with Tasker could act upon a SMS message with certain content, too. I'll look into that. But I'd prefer not to be dependent on a network connection as it may not be reliable in this case.

Is there any way that a remote device, be it another mobile device or a computer, can directly communicate with a N4 without benefit of wifi or a mobile data connection? In other words, a straight peer to peer connection?

Any info about what forms of communications are potentially available would be very useful to me.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
bluetooth could be used to transfer data from one device to the other.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
Thanks. I'd like for that to work. I've had trouble making successful pairings and when I have made them, I've been unable to make reliable bluetooth communications between devices. I gather that I'm not the only one who has encountered such issues. But I'd like to think they're surmountable.

I had trouble getting my N7 and N4 to pair, but that was probably my own fault. I have them communicating now. File transfers are slow, which could be an issue for me. But there are ways around that in this case. I'll play around to see how consistently reliable it can be for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
my n4, n7, and gnex pair very well together. via bluetooth not being as fast as a connection as a wireless hotspot, but the connection is solid.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
Good to know. I think the problems I had were due to my own errors. It seems good now. Just over 100 kb/s transfer rate, though. That's too slow for some aspects of what I need to do. But I can work around it by having the larger files on the remote device all the time and just let it know which of them to use based on variable values.

Any reason why I can't program one device to transfer files to another via bluetooth? It's easy enough to use a file manager for this, but for the purposes of this project, it would be better to do it from an app interface in which the user makes a few choices and submits them. Then, the appropriate file transfer takes place. It's a proof of concept. In the ultimate application, a file manager wouldn't be appropriate, so we need to mimic that to a simplified degree now.

I'm a dev, but not much of an Android developer, so I'm either going to learn on this project or get someone else to do it. So I am partially in the dark on some of these matters.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you should be able to program one device to send to the other via bluetooth, there shouldnt be any restrictions.

How about setting up an SSH server on the nexus 4?

That way you could manage it remotely, even if you're away from home.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
There's no need for a connection from a remote site in this case. Somewhere within 150' maximum is fine. But even Bluetooth range is quite adequate for now. SSH would require a wifi connection, too, which may not always be available in these circumstances.

I will probably go with Bluetooth for now, even as slow as it is.

Is it possible to connect two devices via a USB cable and communicate directly that way? Would they recognize each other?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rickjs:
I currently have CM10.1 flashed on my GS3, but in order to swap numbers with a dialer code I need to temporarily go back to TouchWiz. I try flashing a TW ROM but it keeps giving me bootloops and I have to restore back to CM10.1. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix this issue? Please and thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Did you wipe /System (in addition to a factory reset) before flashing the TW Rom? When going from an AOSP (4.2.x) Rom back to TW, you should wipe system 'cause there'll be leftover files that can prevent TW from booting correctly.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mart-xda:
I've had my first S4 for 7 days. Needed 3 hard resets in the first week - UI freezes, hangs etc. Took it back to Telstra, confirmed bad hardware and gave me a new phone. Second handset has been fantastic - fast, smooth, stable.

Most Samsung features work pretty well - drama shot for junior sports coaching is an excellent idea. Love the fact that I can upgrade storage via SD card, link with Dropbox and can swap the battery for higher capacity if needs be. No need as yet - heavy use and my battery lasts more than 10 hours.

If you experience any interface issues, get the handset swapped: probably just a rare lemon. Thanks to everyone who responded on this thread.

Initial issues: features are unstable (gestures, air view, smart scroll, interface and keyboard hangs).

Now I definitely don't regret this new phone having used many different types over the years (Blackberry, HTC TiTan Windows mobile, iPhone 3, iPhone 4, now Android).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mart-xda:
Of course it will. When you have all your music, pictures and some data sitting on a slow device (like an old sd card), then indexing slows down (picture gallery, videos, music. map data). Like any IT system, a fast phone will be slowed down by the slowest link - if that bottleneck is the sd card, then it needs to be remediated.

Will definitely update the thread title to more accurately reflect my experience with the device. But surely I need more than 3 hours for the device to prove itself??

Flash performance, and SW performance degrades over time, so I'm giving this phone 48 hours to prove it's stable, before changing my mind.

I'm not convinced yet, but at least the signs are positive in the first 3 hours.

Of course I will, once satisfied this was just a bad piece of hardware one-off. But performance degraded over time, I will post updates over the weekend and hopefully change this title to "satisfied" on Sunday (ie 48 hours to ensure it was just an anomaly)
