[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobblack:
Google Play now ignores "Never Update Automatically", just updated EVERYTHING!

Just now, I noticed that Google Play has conveniently "forgotten" the setting I have had in place for YEARS, that prevents my phone from being taken over by sluggish new versions and impossibly invasive new permissions of my apps. I turned on WiFi on the phone about an hour ago, and just now when I checked, it updated ALL my apps automatically.

WTF.

How can this happen? Google Play Store was being overly invasive with the constant "do you want to auto-update this" and "do you want to auto-update that" question every time I ever installed a new app since the new version got rolled out... isn't one time enough, you idiots?

And then it STILL decides to completely ignore my explicit denial of the question, and to simply auto-update everything in the background. When I checked, it had set itself to "auto-update over WiFi".

WTF.

This is making me so mad because it cannot even be undone anymore.

- I'm running some older versions of apps that are 100% stable and great, but their developer decided all of a sudden that he wanted access to my calendar or contacts in an update, or whatever. So I never updated those apps ON PURPOSE, you idiots.

- I could roll back to backups, sure, but now with the new versions installed, the permissions are not reversible for the app. Oops! Here, take my contacts. Take my calendar. Being a stopwatch app, I'm sure you need those things from me.

- I'm running some other older versions of apps that are running very smoothly in their old versions. One example is the Opera browser - since they switched to Webkit, everyone and their mother reports that it's slower than their grandmother. I just tried the glorious new version and it's slower and more sluggish than my grandmother carrying your grandmother. I don't want to "upgrade" to that, thank you very much. Well, now I have. Thanks Google.

This is outrageous. I'm now seriously considering dumping this goddamn thing that Android has become in favor of something else. Windows maybe, or Ububtu. Or even Firefox OS when it comes out.

W.T.F.

I don't know what else to say. I'm furious.

/rant

* When I say "idiots" above, I mean the genius devs over at Google who managed to **** up a good thing so badly. I don't mean anyone of you nice gentlemen on here. I just needed a place to rant. Thanks.

Mine says No Service. I hit Menu button. Wifi is the only thing that really gives me any options. There is a Wifi Power Save toggle switch for On or Off. What does this do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] autoprime:
unfortunately i dont have this device yet so I can't say exactly what everything does. I'm just sifting thru dumps and roms to find fun stuff.

on a different note... I've updated the OP to include a script to enable diag mode on the GS4. Diag mode can be used to write new PRLs to your device while on an AOSP rom(using DFS or QPST etc)... or diag mode can be used for other fun things... but if you don't know what it does then you probably don't need it ;)

what are all the commands aosp roms will take?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ecs87:
Been trying to work on learning AT commands and found some in the modem.bin of the NAE tarball like AT+MSLSECUR and AT+SIMDETEC however NONE of the commands in this list do anything. I've tried a ? after the command and a =? after the command, still errors out. I'm connected to the modem port (not the port used for flashing phones but for sending AT commands). I think this port is labeled /dev/ttyUSB0. I've tried downgrading to MDC baseband. Still nothing. How the heck am I supposed to send these other AT commands to the phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] E:V:A:
@ecs87 The AT commands shown on top of this thread are not correct, because:

1) they are device dependent

2) they are service provider dependent

3) they are mixed "fake" AT commands, as interpreted by RIL daemon, and "real" Modem AT commands, as we like.

I have several posts and threads on this subject, please search. In addition, AT port may not be accessible if

already used by RIL daemon in some cases.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ecs87:
I figured it out EVA. Apparently you MUST be using a UART cable. I think it's just the regular USB cable with a resistor on a line. I didn't do too much research on it because I was able to simulate the same thing using a GSM service box and a c3300k cable then accessing the box port using a terminal type application. I was then able to use the "exteneded" set of AT commands I found in modem.bin. The AT+AKSEEDNO does have me stumped though. Well...I guess the AT+MSLSECUR does as well. I'm able to get an output, but it must be calculated and returned. I was able to logcat the default MSLSECUR password for the G900P but I wasn't sure how it was calculated. Same goes for the AKSEEDNO. And considering how the AKSEEDNO changes every time you call for it, logging does nothing to help.

My original thread for this is http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f83/note-3-imei-writing-questions-1828950/ Keep in mind I'm not trying to CHANGE the IMEI, but rather write the original one WITHOUT a box or EFS backup (I like to tinker...what can I say?). I got all the way down to the AKSEEDNO...then I hit a brick wall lol. Makes sense considering that's the absolute last step before I get to send the AT command to write the IMEI and sign the IMEI with a certificate.

Unable to access diag mode in AOSP

I've got a Galaxy S4 on SlimKat 4.4.4.

I've saved the script for AOSP diag mode in Script Manager, and ran it. I also tried running it over an ADB shell. Neither reports errors, but nothing ever changes. The phone remains the same. I've tried unplugging/replugging USB cable to no avail. The phone never shows as a different device in device manager. Are there any known reasons for this not working?

Hi, i know the most people have jumped to ICS ou to the new JB rom, but iam one of the ones who will stay in GB....iam using a GB rom based on the 6.0.B.3.184 and i need a kernel with some memory tweaks and the Overclock feature (1.15/1.2), i have searched the forums, and a find ONE kernel based on the 6.0.B.3.184 fw, but it dont have overclock, and the wifi tether was not working, and it was not a very good kernel, so if someone could make a "basic kernel with OC and some minor memory tweaks" it will help me, and others member (i think)

[HTC Amaze 4G] UhmierSmith:
Ok i am thinking about buying an amaze 4g but i do have a few questions:

1. I noticed the amaze has a special usb charger, will i damage the port by using a regular microusb, or will it all be good?

2. Can this phone operate on AT&T 3g/4g frequencies?

3. I've read around but i seem to get mixed answers, does the amaze 4g have gorilla glass, or just Scratch resistant?

4. Are there OEM docks for this phone? htc doesn't have any on their website and i cant seem to find any on amazon.

Thanks in advance :)

P.S. Wasn't sure if this should go in general or Q&A:p

First of all, yes, I know there are other threads with this issue, but they didn't solve my case.

I have the famous problem with the shared user id. Whenever I try to install it, it says "Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID". I have tried putting it directly to /system/app, and I also have followed this guide (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1219029&highlight=services), but with no result. It seems to rebuild this file in the reboot, so it's useless. I have a chinese phone without CWM recovery, so I can't flash anything, but I do have root.

Please, help me install Google play services in any way! Thank you so much!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Your issue is that China devices dont have the rights to run Google apps. That is why they are not included.

But I have installed gmail, g maps, and all of that, but not play services. I can install hangouts now, but without play services it won't work
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
Please, anyone could help me? I can't use hangouts without play services...! :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Its because play services are not autherized on China based devices. You are gonna have to make it think it is another device. I did some searching and found that this is due to Google not allowing the play store on China based devices due to their lack of respecting copyrights.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requeiperrechon:
Then, how you explain that my phone has installed google play store, gmail, hangouts, google maps, and more? It is JUST play services what I can't install! I doubt the error related to "shared user ID" is caused by a country restriction

try to put it in a thread:

}

}).start();

You do this for anything that might take the system a long time to execute and isn't directly needed for the UI.

If it is needed by the UI try an AsyncTask:

AsyncTask<Params,Progress,Result>() {

[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]
protected Result doInBackground(Params params) {

}

protected void onProgressUpdate(Progress progress) {

}

protected void onPostExecute(Result result) {

}

I never used Content Providers so I'm not sure what you would put in for each thing on the Async but here is the Android Docs perhaps you can figure it out

[Java for Android App Development] Acela1230:
You fill the array then you fill the list? This might be what's causing our crash as the list is trying to setup before the array is done.

You could just use the async to do the lookup and set the list item info in the list adapter and as the async finishes each lookup it will enter each item in the list
