Just wanted to say thanks and also contribute a bit of info. I noticed you hadn't mentioned TWRP recovery as one that works. I have been using it with no problems.

Cheers.

I have MDC root with TWRP and Hotstpot fix. If I nandroid backup before and then perform all the necessary steps to go to stock then update to MDL and root again and reinstall TWRP, can I restore my latest MDC nandroid backup or will that mess everything up?

Thanks...

I managed to port a rom from T-Mobile to AT&T, and it worked very well aside from the default APN's

are T-Mobile still. How can I change the default APN so when the rom first boots, it uses the proper Telus APN???:o

Edit the default APN to Telus settings.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Adizzzle:
I know how to change the properties and make it work, but I want my rom to load Telus APN's by default, so that people who use my rom dont have to waste their time switching their APN to Telus again.

The backstory first:

I have a Nexus 10. I like to plug it into my TV via HDMI and watch videos or play games, or what have you. Since the aspect ratio doesn't match the TV I get black bars on the sides. In a command line, one can type

am display-size 2560x1440

to change the resolution of the screen and get rid of the black bars on the TV completely (at the cost of adding black bars on the top and bottom of the tablet.)

am display-size reset

Sets it back to normal.

Rather than typing this into a terminal /every time/ I want to do this, is there a simple widget or app that will let me set up a shortcut on the homescreen that I can just click on to toggle instead?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechMasta:
There isn't a utility that does that, but i made one in dos for you. too lazy to upload, will give you the code. :p

Make a batch file by making a new file in notepad and saving it as a .bat extension for eg. filename.bat

inside the file, copy-paste this code :

@echo off

ECHO Please enter x for screen resolution of 2560x1440 and enter y to get back to default resolution
SET /P res=Please enter x or y:
IF "%res%"=="x" (
adb shell am display-size 2560x1440 ) ELSE (
adb shell am display-size reset )

ECHO Done!

Hit save!

if you want to set your resolution to 2560x1440 , type x and hit enter. if you want it set to normal hit y.

save this file and adb in the same folder.

I haven't tested it, so test it and tell me if it worked :good:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazz:
I never thought of using a batch file on a computer to do this. I have one hooked up near my TV, I could just plug the tablet in and set the batch file to a hotkey and it would be just as good as running from the tablet itself.

It seems "am" needs root permissions for some reason

It throws:

java.lang.SecurityException: Neither user 2000 nor current process has android.permission.WAKE_LOCK.

I tried to modify the code to get root access but then it gets stuck in adb shell. perhaps there is a way to run more than one shell command per line?

"am" does work from adb shell when it has root permission. This is strange since I don't need root permission from the terminal emulator on the tablet itself. Maybe there is something corny going on with my tablet.

This looks like it would work as well, except for some reason the Play Store says it isn't compatible. Perhaps I can download it on my phone, and then copy it to the Nexus 10.

Thank you both for your assistance! :D

We'll get this going somehow!

IS there any way to use the HTC One as a remote for my Nikon D7100? I know I've got an IR blaster, Bluetooth, esc... But I'm not sure if there is any way to go about using it as a remote shutter activator. My camera does not have Bluetooth, however it does have to inferred receivers.

Let me know if you guys have any idea.

Thanks

you can

not true. using it with my D7000 and it works just fine. you just have to create a new remote then when it says choose tv brand you select unkown manufacturer and then you go an manually teach the phone what you want to do. now,providing that you already have a remote compatible with your camera you just pres the remote button and set it to whatever button from the remote you want. there are 26 of them so there are plenty :laugh: i set mine to the OK one because i think it is the easyest one to hit. enjoy!

This app looks interesting for stuff like that: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy2&hl=en but I wasn't (yet) aware you could train the built-in remote from HTC as described in the above post.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Ricapar:
shameless plug

Shameless plug here, but I put together an app that does exactly this :)

There are a few on the play store, but search for "SLR Camera IR Remote" for mine (been a long time member here, but been lurking a lot.. so I don't have enough posts to post external links).
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] armorized:
I wish the remote app was a bit simpler. Having to bounce all over to control my tv and dvr is rather annoying...

It should just need an update to add the capability to recognize other things such as cameras that have IR sensors (personally I didn't know such a thing existed)

The app needs a squeeze to put as much control as possible into one screen so you don't have to bounce back and forth. A toggle somewhere to swap between as well. Won't happen unless someone makes an app or HTC decides to see their folly.

Still, it's unique, so it's nice to use when I don't feel like gettin up for the actual remote lol.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batphilt:
Hi everyone,

Today I updated my CyanogenMod Rom to the nightly of 05/13, coming from a nightly that was approximatively one week older.

Once I updated the Rom, the phone asked me 5-7 times for my Pin code, and I didn't succeded in acquiring cell signal . As I read from suggested in a thread (can't find it again sorry), someone suggered that the Modem wasn't right and to update it with the GetRIL app', so I did it, and the app' told me that indeed my radio modem wasn't compatible with my baseband and that I should download the modem it suggered. I did it, (the app' also proposed a backup of my current radio in case of bad flash, so I was kind of reassured), the flash was succesfull, and to try if the pin was working again, I rebooted my phone.

It didn't work at all, so I decided to revert the modem to the old one using the backup the app' created.

It was a disaster, I lost my IMEI, my baseband, and so on. I then decided to flash a stock firmware to repair that using ODIN, and it worked, I regained access to my IMEI, and to my cell phone signal. I then decided to flash the cyanogen nighlty from 05/11, but it broke my IMEI and connectivity again. Am I the only one experiencing such issues? It's not my first flashing a ROM and I followed scrupulously the procedure on the Cyanogen website, so if someone had a solution about it, I will be very glad.

Thanks for reading :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3nG:
Let me start off by saying I am a huge HTC fan and have owned the HTC Hero and EVO 4G before switching to the iPhone 4S. I've always loved the open system of android but many things about the platform frustrated me. However, I am super intrigued by the HTC One and think now is the right time to make the switch back. Before doing so, I wanted to get a check with the community on whether these issues with android have been resolved...

1. Quality and consistency of apps - Two years ago Android apps were a half-@ss reincarnation of their iOS form. Developers made terrible ports and there were a lot of UI inconsistencies. While I still strongly believe it will be years before the Play store meet or surpass that of iOS, how is the quality of apps? In particular, the thing that bothered me most about Android years ago was how a lot of the apps weren't optimized for all the display resolutions out there, so the app images were blurry on certain hardware/resolution.

2. Battery life - I'll be honest, the HTC Hero and EVO 4G had terrible battery life. For my particular usage style, the iPhone 4S performed marginally better. Understanding that battery life varies from user to user, I am asking those who has owned an iPhone 4S or 5 to share their experience so far.

3. Overall UI Experience - Probably the most important thing for me. My EVO 4G stuttered and felt jerky all the time; whether it was scrolling, typing, etc. Even worse was that for every iteration of Android people proclaim, "It's fixed! Android is now as smooth as iOS." However, the experience is still no where close to that of iOS. The last device I tried was Galaxy S3. Scrolling isn't as smooth as iOS and the touch keyboard didn't seem as responsive. Where does the HTC ONE stand in this regard?

Closing comments: This post is not intended to troll on Android. I've tried going to BB to try out the HTC One and it was absolutely pointless. They disabled wifi and it had no internet connection. So I couldn't test out anything. With that said, I am looking for an unbiased opinion from someone who has had experience on both platforms.

Just to balance my comments a bit, I will share a few reasons why I want to ditch iOS: Stale interface, overly restrictive OS, iFanboys, and uninspiring iPhone 5 hardware design.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
The UI experience whilst the best I have had on android still isnt as smooth as iOS. Especially in 3rd party apps. Ones like facebook stutter a lot when scrolling. The battery life for me has been fantastic. Far better than my iPhone 5 and the app selection is great. Some optimisation for 1080p needed. But the black bar that appears at the bottom of some apps may bother you. Id go into a spring store and try a demo model to compare. Use some of the 3rd party apps and see if it does satisfy you.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
Answered your questions above in the quote in bold. As I said i recently used a iPhone 5 first iPhone ever I used it for about 4 months two periods of 2 months. That is a really long time for me to use a phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arikah:
Many apps that are available on both platforms look and perform the exact same for the most part. Games like temple run or apps like tunein radio won't feel different if you are using the same conditions (same service provider). There are unfortunately a few notable offenders, and they are big guys: twitter and facebook are generally awful and better used on their mobile sites. I feel like android apps are generally more useful or productive, ios stuff can be as well but it seems more entertainment focused.

Battery life has hit a plateau, all new phones get roughly the same battery life (expect the iphone5/5s to get the same battery life as the one/s4). They will generally get you through a normal day. I find that my One still needs a quick charge in the car if I'm going to have a long night to make it.

UI by itself is great, when you have 9 other apps open at the same time it can bog down. It's just the nature of android, it does proper multitasking at the cost of 100% UI smoothness. Under normal use however, the One is powerful enough to handle your typical apps all being open without a sweat.

This is the best Android I have ever owned. Tried the iPhone 5 for a couple weeks but missed Android. Have not had any lag issues at all !! Great device, screen is awesome. Get it, you won't regret it!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahagersr:
I switched to the iPhone 4S when I was having service problems with my HTC Inspire at work. I will admit that once I had the iPhone on hand for a lengthy amount of time I was thoroughly impressed.

The major difference you'll notice is the keyboard. The stock keyboard is horrendous. I use Jelly Bean Keyboard found on the Play Store for free and it is marvelous for me.

The scrolling within the UI and apps themselves is by far the smoothest I've ever experienced on an Android device, let alone one that's running Sense. My prior experiences with Sense were horrible. I've always loved plain old AOSP and MIUI, but Sense is pretty remarkable this go around, even with all of it's flaws.

My battery life varies, because my day to day usage is never the same, but my shortest cycle thus far was 16 hours and that was a lot of Pandora, a lot of music that I've pushed to my device, and constant data connection the whole cycle.

All in all I'm pretty happy. Happier than I expected to be, to be quite honest.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawman:
It's great it's as smooth as you can expect, when scrolling through a bunch of texts it lags when it loads(iOS stops at the top and asks you if you want to load more)

Most of the big name apps are there, and there's a ton of apps that just make things work better for you.

Battery life... why does everyone ask that, these days you can expect to make it through a day with a flagship smartphone.

Personally I left iOS 2 years ago and never looked back, until I held an iPhone 5 and wanted a metal phone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Honestly I don't feel a lack in smoothness at all when it comes to anything. Even when I have a large amount of apps open with power saver on its as smooth as can be. Not even my iphone could do that. Couldn't multitask at all and still was laggy after a while. I think that most apps actually look better on android. Like the twitter app for example. I think that Web 2.0 style of UI bars are hideous. I don't like it at all and having nearly every apo like that it's just ugly. Just didn't like the style either. All the tabs on the bottom just doesn't seem as nice. Same with the dropbox app. Much better experience to me with most apps with no lag. Also battery life for me has been way better. I had to charge my iphone twice a day. My One usually lasts all day depending on my usage. Also school tends to kill my battery since many parts of the school signal is either edge or nothing so the phone drains a lot from trying to get a signal.

I had the Hero > Evo 4G > Nexus S > iPhone 4S > Galaxy S3 (hated it) back to the 4S > iPhone 5 > HTC One. So I think I have some middle of the road experience. Really the only thing the iPhone has on the One is that it's smooth and every thing works. What it doesn't have is everything Apple does not want you to have. At this point in time Apple would have to blow me away to switch back. The HTC One is an amazing phone I enjoyed my previous HTC phones and glad I made the switch back.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
HTC One for me is as others have also said, the closest thing to smooth and lag free as I believe you'll get. It always seems perfectly smooth to me.

Ui and apps are excellent, I honestly have never seen what others see in iphone apps though and they have always looked god awful to me so can't comment more than I think the apps on the one look great. Although I must say, I believe apps are overrated, as I never install more than 10 or 15 that I use regularly anyway.

Battery life is very good, around 5 or 6 hours screen on, and 24 hours standby ish. Comparable to S3, but with none of the lag of the S3 (and s4 for that matter).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ataft:
My One hasn't arrived yet, but I think I can still give an idea of what to expect.

I am coming from the One X. The One X might not be the One, but it did work very well in my experience. I can only imagine, and is confirmed by reviewers, that the One is an improvement across all fronts. I switched from being a long time iOS user to an Android user with the One X. The only things I did not really like about that phone was the battery life and the camera bump on the back. With a custom kernel and Rom, I was able to address the battery issue. With the One, the battery is larger, the processor is more battery friendly, and there is no camera bump. So the two things I did not like were addressed straight from the factory.

As for app selection, I did not notice any problems switching operating systems. Android had about 90% of the apps I used on iOS, and the ones that were missing were more or less covered by a similar app. Most apps looked good, with a few free apps having frustrating menus.

The UI on the One X was great. I liked Sense for most of the time I used it. I never had a complaint about smoothness, but when I started using Nova Prime I noticed it was quite a bit faster. Had I not started using a separate launcher, or a custom Rom, I would still consider Sense to be fast (especially after Jelly bean). From what I've read, Sense 5 is quite a bit better than 4+. So if Sense 4+ was already fast and smooth, and Sense 5 is even faster, you should be confident that you will have a good experience with the One.

The default HTC keyboard was pretty frustrating when the One X first launched. The autocorrect/prediction wasn't so good, and the space bar was so small; I often miss typed. With Sense 4+, the keyboard was improved with a larger space bar. With the options in the Play Store, however, I don't see a need for anyone to be using stock keyboards. There are Developers out there that focus only on making keyboards. These keyboards, such as SwiftKey, are so much better than anything you will get stock from HTC or Apple.

So in summary, I'd say your concerns were almost all covered by the previous generation's flagship HTC phone. With the current generation's flagship phone, the One, your concerns have been fully addressed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muck:

android still doesnt really come close in polish to ios.

ios apps just look nicer i feel, android still feels a bit clunky.

if apple allowed default apps and nitro java across every app out of the box, the iphone would be pretty unbeatable.

as it stands the one makes a pretty good iphone replacement. quality of materials feel just as nice as the iphone.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdingene:
I just recently switched from iPhone 5 to the One after having been a iPhone user and fanboy for 5 years. On the whole I am very happy with the One and don't regret my decision. I love the customizability and being able to do all the cool stuff Apple wouldn't let me do.

But there are some things I miss and where I think android still falls behind ios.

The UI is just not as smooth. In a lot of apps (looking at you facebook) there is a lot of lag and others a lot of micro stuttering which some people woukdnt notice but I do.

Quite a few apps seem to have been ported from ios as an afterthought and just aren't as polished. There are some really great android apps to be fair.

I miss the centralised notification centre on ios where you can control all notfications in one place. I also miss ios lock screen notifications. Please don't say you can use the notification shade on the lock screen because you can't if you use lock screen pin.
