Did you read or post first?????????????????

As you can see Guest and firebird say it worked to some degree for them on the PDA2K (MDAIII). Since I didn't have a BT headset to try myself I thought I would help you by pointing you to someone who had.

Subject: BlueTooth manually updated on PDA2k to 1.5.081

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=11729&highlight=widcomm

Since I didn't see in any thread about someone updating their PDA2k to the latest widcomm drivers... Just an FYI, I copied the files from the other thread onto my PDA2k. Seems to be working. Will test further to see if I'm still getting memory issues like before.

NOTE - I used Resco to copy the files over. There were several warnings that I was updating a file in ROM.. but I went ahead and did that anyway...figured I could hard reset the device if need be.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] nvgear:
just a warning, the ROM files he was talking about overwriting, cannot be restored by doing a hard reset, it is permanent. if it messes up you will have to re-flash your pda with a new copy of the OS. that's what i had to do since i couldnt get it to work

I have 25.4 gb on my SD card when I plug it into my computer. Is the other 6.8 gbs reserved for firmware and system? Is there anyway to repartition for max utilization of space?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syaoran68:
6.8 is used yes. and no theres no way to utilize less unless you swap to AOSP the sense framework and everything else that goes along with it are just that big.

be lucky the GS4 is 8.5 gb used space.
[HTC Desire X] subcoccinela:
hello, my english is not so good but I hope that you will understand me, because I used google translation :)

can anyone tell me whether this smartphone too much battery consumption if I turned 100%, then:

surfed on the net ten minutes

played medium demanding game twenty minutes

Runtastic worked a 2 hour (GPS and mobile internet)

1 hour listening to music

and watching a series of half-hour*

at the end battery status was 60%

Otherwise, I noticed that for about ten minutes surfing the internet battery falls to around 5%, so if it's ok or not

Thanks in advance for your reply :)
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
I think that's ok. Just surfing the net does consume a lot of battery, gaming and watching videos as well.
[HTC Desire X] subcoccinela:
Thanks,but since I'm new with android I thought that the battery can last longer :)
[HTC Desire X] sushant6786:
To preserve battery-

Turn brightness to lowest.

Turn off unnecessary app sync.

Increase duration between sync of weather and mail and other apps.

Turn off network data connection n GPS when not in use.

Uninstall useless apps which you installed but never use them.

sent from my HTC DX
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
90-100% of batter never gives right amount of battery, under 90% its much more precise

this battery consumption seems fine, apps like runtastic or google track eats a lot, games acctualy too (fpse is the worst, its like vaccum cleaner), movie player... dunno, i dont use them, but they wont be battery-friendly
[HTC Desire X] subcoccinela:
Recently I tested a lot of my HTC Desire X, so I can say that I am generally satisfied with all, except that my surfing over 3G networks too quickly consumes battery (recent example: 20 minutes on Tapatalk battery drains about 10%).In the first days of use I even thought that the smart phone serviced(or maybe I should), but it seems to me that I have to get used to it, and use the mobile internet to a minimum.

Hey guys, I'm researching the Galaxy Note II and Android. I'm interested in any common or frequent problems that may be affecting users? There was stuff like the Galaxy S I9000m having a bad batch of internal flash memory that would get corrupt or the HTC one with a bad wifi chips that would drop connections; is there anything common like this that happens on the Galaxy Note II? (or any other popular device these days). If you guys provide insight into this or point me in the direction as to where to read up about this it'd be great :D

I am following this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980157&highlight=bml3

And I can't find the find in using the andriod emulator,

I have used the ls command, went around checking if bml3 exists. With no avail, and yes I have the superuser permission. I got root explorer and tried to search then as well, but I only find this file "bml12" ?

I need to unlock this phone by tomorrow, any help would be really appreciated ? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] meekazhu:
Found the solution

The emulator terminal was not working for me because the bml3.bak file didn't exist for some reason, Insted get this from file nv_data.bin from efs/root/afs/settings. You can use this app OI file manager to easily copy it, also if you can't find this file you can Root explorer app.

And also the 010 hex editor is know 010 editor now, and the modified settings is Line width>custom width>set to 32 . You can then find the 8-ASCII digits on the third window panel .Thank you for all the help ,
[Acer Iconia A500] CurtisMJ:
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm a bit noobish(most experience is on desktop linux)

I have an Iconia A500 tablet which I rooted. Later I became a little bored of the default android shell and decided to replace it with bash. It worked fine. Unfortunately, I later required the default shell again(bash wasn't routing it's output to adb for some reason) and rather stupidly fired up Root Browser and deleted bash from system/bin, then closed it. :eek: I had followed the instructions in the first post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=537827 to install bash as the default shell. But now it doesn't exist and I can't get into a terminal. The SuperUser app depends on the shell to give root permission so I can't even get back into Root Browser to restore bash. So now I basically have NO SHELL. The default shell still exists as sh0, but with no way of gaining root permissions I'm now stuck. Is there anything else I can do to restore the shell? Luckily my device isn't bricked, so a factory reset isn't out of the question, but I really don't wanna do that.

UPDATE:

Turns out flashing an update.zip replaces system binaries :D

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] kevp:
Hi all,

I'm working on a BMW Steering Wheel button interface for my XDA2 in its car kit (E-Leads). I am a hardware kind of guy and have built an interface that will read the codes that the car generates when the buttons are pressed. I can then generate my own serial codes over rs-232 to send to the XDA2 when in its car kit cradle.

I'm after some help from someone who can / has experiance / is willing to give it a bash... and write a new phone dialler app that not only has the usual buttons on the screen, quick dial list etc but will also listen to the com port and when I send in serial codes from the steering wheel buttons into it, it can then answer a call, hangup, move up and down the speed dial list etc.

I'm only doing this as a personal project but if said programmer wants we could try and sell the package as one hardware + software ???

Like I say I'm not a programmer so I'll leave that up the an expert...

So anyone up for the challenge ?? ? ? ? ?

Cheers

[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehSmoogs:
I've had a couple of PM's asking for an FTF of the 10.1.1.A.1.253 SGP321 LTE firmware, but I've already unlocked the bootloader (rooting failed), so when I use PC Companion to repair the device, it give the "modified software bugger off" message.

Whats the fastboot syntax to relock the bootloader? I'm guessing something like "fastboot -i 0x0fce oem lock", but pls advise.

Some posts I've read seem to indicate that after relocking you have to reload the firmware, but will PC Companion allow the repair? Or will it detect that its "relocked" and tell me to bugger off again?

Guidance would be greatly appreciated.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehSmoogs:
Relocking via Flashtool 0.9.10.2beta6 worked fine, didn't wipe device.

Using PC Companion, Sony Update Service, or Sony Bridge for Mac failed to repair (no updates available), so firmware cannot be downloaded.

However, Sony Flashtool (EMMA) does allow firmware to downloaded & installed to devices with unlocked bootloaders.

FTF for SGP321 10.1.1.A.1.253 will be available soon.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
Hey guys,

I want to unlock my bootloader so that I could try some of the awesome ROMs the devs have made/ported to the RAZR M.

I wanted to find out if I could RELOCK my bootloader in the case of needing to take it back to Verizon or Motorola in the case of it being damaged or something. I know how to unroot on the RAZR and how to do it all on my Nexus 7, just cant find hardly anything for this phone.

Thanks in advanced!!!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon71:
Nope it's impossible to relock and once it's unlocked all your warranties are void
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
Is this true for any device? Or just certain ones at this point?

Because I can Relock my Nexus 7 and my DROID Incredible just fine, in fact Verizon has accepted one of my former phones that was previously rooted and had the bootloader unlocked, then all was returned to stock of course.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:
It's specific to this line of devices so far (RAZR HD, RAZR MAXX HD, RAZR M, ATRIX HD). The unlock method (both on the dev. and consumer phones) invloves blowing a physical fuse in the phone which cannot be repaired. Google qfuse if you want to learn more.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukkypuggy:
thanks!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimyv:
yes! it is!

was unlocked now its fn locked and stuck in ap!!!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantomsniper773:
Yeah, I can confirm that Motorola released an update or something that relocked my previously unlocked boot loader (before anyone asks, yes it was definitely unlocked before :p ). Unfortunately the update failed on my phone and now I'm stuck in AP Fastboot with an error about "downgraded security version" and "update got_main version failed" errors.

So yeah, definitely possible for Motorola to relock the boot loader.

Attached is a picture of what it looks like now. I don't know of any SBF that would work to fix this.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:
Well, that picture speaks for itself, but I have to imagine that your situation is the exception, not the rule. It almost looks like somehting else went wrong with it. The qfuse is a physical fuse from what I have read, so maybe it got bridged, or the system isn't even making it to that check because of some other error.

Very strange indeed.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skreelink:
Unless the tiny update did something with the bootloader to possibly IGNORE the qfuse state and simply keep it encrypted, blown qfuse or not. Maybe the final 'hurrah' from Verizon to try to kill off the Razr M development. Kinda reminds me of what they did with the Droid X and Droid 2 when they released the system version .621.. the ONLY thing the update did, was patch the current root methods and change the bootloader a tiny bit (version didn't even change) so it couldn't SBF to ANY previous build. TONS of Droid Xs and 2s were bricked until eventually a 621 SBF was released, and after forever, another root method.

EDIT: I found This thread which describes the same situation, but SBFing back to an earlier version seems to fix it. Apparently, the latest OTA REQUIRES a locked bootloader, unless flashed by other means (possibly TWRP or manual fastboot of img files?)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coronado is dead:
Interesting theory. I personally had to RSD back to 4.1.2 (q66) to install since I had removed the Audio Level Warning apk (which just restores stock apps, kernel, boot image and boot animation but leaves data intact). I then let the update installer run on its own with the stock recovery and it remained unlocked.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Yeah, I've only seen this occur on the few devices that had the update fail. I think it's striclty a software thing because it goes back to unlocked after the indviduals were able to recover the phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Confirming my dad's phone is still unlocked after the update. He didn't do anything with root but I did manage to convince him to root and unlock. Updated yesterday and he's still unlocked. It's gotta be related to the flash failures...

EDIT: stock recovery too...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantomsniper773:
Yeah, possibly. Does anyone know if RSDLite works with a locked boot loader? I tried it earlier and it wouldn't flash, giving an error about GPT partition or something. I didn't really look into it much though, because my phone is still under warranty.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
RSD will work, but you'll only be able to flash the most recent update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hamzer11:
I have a straightforward question but I haven't been able to piece together a complete answer from the various threads. I held out doing the AT&T update. In the meantime I have:

Rooted

Updated my stock Email apk to bypass security

Replaced my system.ui to get custom icons on the pull-down menu

Run xPosed Framework with APP settings (to adjust DPI) and Nottach's module.

Can't recall what else

I'm quite happy with everything but I wanted to get updated and prepare to install recovery and all other goodies that are to come with Loki. So, what is the best way for me to get up to date, keep root, and my mods so I can follow along with the progress that will be happening very fast now? Do I have to start over?

I'm sure others have this question also so I appreciate any feedback.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Go to the TWRP thread and do EXACTLY as they thread says to install the recovery, or use goo, it is there now. I was rooted on the MDB stock, and I had root after I installed the recovery. no issues. Did a successful backup, did get a error that required me to delete or rename the KNOX apk files. You will have to that also. Answering your question, I did some minor mods and they were still there perfectly.

Good luck sir.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hamzer11:

AMDL updating instructions and information should be found in one of the links included in the "Root" sticky in the general forum or in the "motochopper" post in the Original Android development forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alacrify:
KNOX doesn't work yet, but the APKs are there and cause issues - I'd freeze in TiBu rather than deleting - threads are out there on what to freeze.

And I strongly recommend that you open up a note app and list what you did so you know what you might need to back out or re-do if needed. On the GS3 I have a notepad file with over 60 lines of things to do if I want to full wipe and put everything back JUST the way I had it (including hex codes for colors, ringtones, etc.).

Knox is in the system, but not implemented yet - they're aiming for July based on the last new release. But the hooks and APKs are still there.

[MENTION=3802385]TheAxman[/MENTION] or anyone that knows, I was able to use Goo manager and load TWRP. Made a backup too and rebooted without issue. Where would I run into the KNOX issue? I haven't had any issues.

Hello, simply I would like to know which is the best app (low ram consumer and pretty straight forward) where you set up the amount of time you want the data to be disabled after switching off the screen of your phone

In the STOCK ROM and roms like MSGINGER they have the option to turn data off after 15minutes or so and only do it at specific times

Can this be found on cm7? It is really strange for me that cm7 has so many customizations but not this which is pretty basic!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MSmithXDA:
My understanding is that when device manufacturers customize Android, all they're doing is removing the Stock Launcher and Lock Screen and replacing it with their own. Take the S4 as an example...touch wiz is just a launcher and lock screen, right?

If true, then since Android is open source, how come no one hasn't packaged the stock launcher and stock lock screen into an APK so that people can side-load it and bring back their phones to as close to stock as possible? I know I can download launchers like Nova, but I want the Google one. Can't it just be thrown into an APK?

Thanks

About Stock Launcher, try this one. About lockscreen... I dunno if there is a port out there, but you can use Holo Locker.
