How to connect PC to the internet through PPC? Assumed that I can normally browse the internet with my XDA over GPRS, I have a USB cradle and WinXP.

My connection goes down quite often, so I wanted to know how to make a modem of the XDA - slow but better than nothing! :wink:

Edit: already beat me to it thx lifehacker.

Karl these are the rules its the way it is.

Go to your device forum and start learning. If your super dev genius then earn your ten post by helping others.

Its not such a big deal the ten post thing.

Why not introducevyouself in the general forum ?

A word about OT spamming and using OT to get your 10 post up is frowned upon by everyone and is against the rules.

You may even get your post count knocked back down.

PLENTY of ways to get your 10 post count and doing it in a positive constructive way will earn you xda "street cred" .

Crying about the ten post rule...not so much.

Welcome and be sure to read rules.

Check stickies too because a lot of the device forums have similar but sometimes a tad different rules.

Enjoy your xda journey.

I expect tjis thread to be closed soon

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemonium.666:
Hello,

I bought recently one galaxy s3 mini with defect from ebay. The defect is weird, because it don´t allow me to press the number 7 8 and 9 (it enters the above or the ones down in the keypad. What I find really odd is that when the keyboard pop-out (browser) i manage to enter all the letters I want in that particular place where it should not recognize touch.

(BTW, When I dial*#0*# and use the touch test it don´t recognize touch in the 6th square in all 3 rows, i never see it say pass).

Is there any way of putting the android with the level of accuracy and precision of the keyboard for all the time and screens?

Thanks for you help,

João Azevedo

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daemonium.666:
Well, the first thing I did was a full wipe. I´ve already flashed different ROM with ODIN, so that won´t help (unfortunately). I manage to dial, I simply have to turn my phone and I´m able to use it... And when a button of confirmation appear in that area also do that or use the rotation locker app to force Landscape.

But I´m sure there must be a way to put all the touching with the accuracy and precision of the keyboard... The difficult is to find it.

Thanks anyway for the ideas.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] r0bot:
Since we have several leaked ROMs, recently, Jelly Bean with very stable support for the Xperia S devices, does this mean the driver issues on custom ROMs like CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, AOSP, AOKP, MIUI, etc. is resolved for Jelly Bean? Meaning, are we getting the same driver support as the original firmware from Sony, based on these leaked ROMs? Are the custom ROMs utilizing these drivers in anyway? Or do we still have to wait for Sony to officially release the source code for Jelly Bean?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
They need the kernel source from Sony, which should come shortly after the official release. It will make 4.1.2 AOSP (and based) ROMs really faster. Might help 4.2.2 ones also.

I have problem on developing a flashlight app

I tried the solutions that provided by Eclipse but none solved the problem

or even make any sense to me :angel:

every "Void" statement on the code appeared as an error

Examples of the errors:

private void turnOffFlash() {

and .. etc , i got an error on every "Void" !

so.. i'm waiting for your opinions

Thanks in advance :))​

Hi,

It is impossible for us to tell you what you have done wrong if you do not post your source code.

It could be just one character missing somewhere or one to much.

We need your code to help you. ;)

(If you do not want to release it completely, copy your project and remove those parts you do not want us to see. This could also help you with finding the error yourself. ;))

[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Does it work on other projects?

It is working for him, so I guess that the errors are not in the code but maybe your project setup or your installation of Eclipse and the Android SDK is the reason for that.

So to quote myself :P " Does it work on other projects?".

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Oh no, there are mistakes with the brackets.

For example you set a listener somewhere inside a methods. However, you forgot to close the bracket (I mean these ones {}). So it ends with a semicolon. It wants more lines of code.

So check your brackets.
[Java for Android App Development] Eztys:
Void methods should not return anything. So you can remove all 'return' words in the void methods.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
These returns ARE allowed. They are not necessary but allowed. You can stop the method by this.

It is really a problem with these brackets {}.
[Java for Android App Development] M. Sherif:
the same problem with the Void errors !! -.-

i tried the code on a new project but i got the same errors

also i don't think there's any problem with the brackets ?

the return is not the problem :)​
[Java for Android App Development] M. Sherif:
i just solved the void errors but the app is not running on the virtual device !

Unless you want to disable the feature of hovering over the screen.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
I was surprised when I launched the new Samsung stock browser and it lacked flash support!! Well, shouldn't say surprised since this phone released with JB 4.2.2 which does not support flash... so not much support given in the thread of flash playing, just for getting it installed.

So, with root... I solved this issue and now so can you!

I used the files from from Nexus 7. As soon as we get something that is more for our device, I will change the source.

Requirements:

1) ROOT - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2252248

2) Grab the Browser - http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1753139&d=1361590018 ( thanks to sikagoon7 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38356096&postcount=354)

3) Grab ChromeBookmarkSyncAdapter if you want it - http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1980058&d=1369154901

4) Grab the flash apk (current: 11.1.115.58) - http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html

Steps to do:

1) Push the files to sdcard

2) Rename Browserproxyprovider files by adding .bak to end of the file name (or remove the file) in /system/app

3) Push Browser.apk to /system/app and change the file permission rw-r--r--

4) Push ChromeBookmarkSyncAdapter.apk to /system/app and change the file permission rw-r--r--

5) Install flash

6) Reboot (IMPORTANT: purpose of Browserproxyprovider is to block other browsers so AOSP will crash if you do not reboot after install)

7) Launch browser

If having issues, grab terminal emulator and clear dalvik cache and reboot

su
cd /data/dalvik-cache
rm *
reboot

Can I rename Browserproxyprovider back after I reboot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
Hit thanks instead of reply ;)

You can certainly try and see what happens, as far as I know the purpose of the file is to block browsers (that's the behavior on my nexus 7). So it might crash the AOSP browser if it loads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ChronoReverse:
Okay tested. If you rename Browser.Provider.Proxy.apk back to normal AFTER you've confirmed Browser runs properly, it won't cause a crash.

Is this safe to delete altogether? Does anyone know what it does?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
I have it removed on my devices. I haven't seen any repercussion yet in removing, only with it installed (AOSP browser not running). Afaik, the real purpose for the is just to be annoying not allowing for extra browsers in /system partition. :silly:

i got browser parsing error when try to instal manually. flashing doesnt work too. i am on thaidai LT6 (stock deodex ver)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
It is possible the parsing is due to either a bad download or the API level between 4.1 and 4.2 are different. I don't have a 4.1 device to test against.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ahhl:
i reinstall secbrowser and it works. i think browser. apk cannot run in 4.1. but flash support still there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
The browser is using the 4.2.2 which API=17. You are running a ROM that is 4.1 which is API=16. Hence the parsing error. Flash will work nevertheless. If you grab a browser.apk for 4.1 then you will have a working AOSP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Misterjunky:
re: flash player

Don't really know why this AOSP browser is needed, it plays the embedded flash video just as good as the firefox browser,

both require adobe files installed and I cannot see any improvement using this browser or firefox, both play the embedded flash

within the websites but firefox has many more options in settings compared to this aosp browser.

My phone is not an AT&T it is a Tmobile M919 but I doubt that that should make a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] nakedninja42:
Because the great part of using Android is the fact we have many choices when it comes to what we want installed. I prefer using the AOSP browser over Firefox because I have never had a good experience using their software (on the phone and desktop). But my experience and choice doesn't necessarily mean it is the same for everyone else.

So the point being, it is about choice and I prefer AOSP, so here is my thread to share with others that might feel the same. :silly:

They work, but you have to go so far to the edge to activate them that if you have a case on you phone (as I do) you'll have to actually push the edge of the case back w/your finger to get the quick controls to come up.

I do like this browser's rendering better than others so I'm going to keep using it, but unfortunately the quick controls are not very usable for me due to the tiny activation space with this on the S4.

? and bluetooth not working doesn't cut it ?

when you post a question like here is my rom and my Bluetooth doesn't "sometimes" work no one can help you. The only thing is you have to go back and look at your question, and see what it tells people reading it.

Now I'm wondering:

What troubleshooting steps was taken?

When did the problem appear? (after upgrade to a new ROM? after ...)

What is the other device's compatibility issues with my device?

Did it work fine before I came to this ROM?

Did you check the known/reported issues for your ROM before you updated?

If those issues did/didn't affect your performance/appearance on the rom then why did you update?

Things along those lines.

Does this help? I hope so ... :good:
