Hello Guys,

I had a little trouble back there Installing the fastboot drivers with Windows 8 x64 system.

It looks like Windows 8 Only Installs the driver after verification on signature check.

I solved the problem after much reading... thought a guide would help others.

In case if you are facing the same problem, follow the steps below.

______________________________________________________________________________________

The steps to install a unsigned driver on windows 8 is as follows.

1. From windows 8 control panel choose General –> Under “Advanced Startup” –> Restart now.

Now the system will restart and might take some minutes to show up the boot menu. Wait for It patiently.

After some time you will be prompted with a menu with following options.

1. Continue

2. Troubleshoot

3. Turn off

Choose Troubleshoot

Then the following menu appears.

Refresh your PC

Reset your PC

Advanced Options

Choose Advanced Options

Then the following menu appears

System Restore

System Image Recovery

Automatic Repair

Command Prompt

Windows Startup settings

Choose Windows Startup Settings, then Click Restart.

Now the computer will restart and the boot menu appears.

Choose “Disable Driver signature Enforcement” from the menu.

Now windows will start and you can do the installation of the driver that is not signed.

thank you! used the guide for another driver but worked :) :good:
[Android General] Jamesdbritt:
This guide needs update. It should be on the side bar click settings. Then at the bottom click pc settings. The option is not in control panel

Thank you, it's work perfectly ;)
[Android General] Open Mind:
Thanks for guidance. I have also find very good tutorial alongwith images at:

Kindly, include the said link in your above post.

[Android General] lordofazeroth:
Is this still valid in Windows 8.1?

After installation of the driver, will it stay installed?

Means: After reboot, will it still be useable or do I have to choose “Disable Driver signature Enforcement” again?

Hello xda,

Before I get to the point, I'd like to thank this awesome community for the astonishing amount of custom content made available to everyday guys like myself.

Now, I'd like to know if there's a way to change the Xperia default menu Icon (the 16 squares square). If it's possible, a tutorial would help me a lot.

Best wishes,

STUPID Google play incompatibility.

I have an unlocked international N7100. I was on AT&T and am now on t-mobile.

It makes me incredibly annoyed when I see apps that work "fine" on my "AT&T N7100"

and are marked incompatible with my "T-mobile n7100" even though it's the SAME FREAKING PHONE. @#*$(#@&($@@#

Hi, my girlfriend had just bought me a tomtom 3 bluetooth for my Xda2 for christmas and i was looking to sign up for the traffic updates too but wanted to know if its any good?? I have seen that the service for 1 year is 29 euros between 1st - 31st of december. I also know it downloads traffic updated from my gprs connection, how much data does it download?? prob would be no point of i had to spend loads on a big data tariff. :?:

Cheers in advnace

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edsub:
do check http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/ on this
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] koponet:
It depends....

TomToms does not send any information about route location or route to the traffic server. So, it will download all Traffic information for the map that you currently using.

For the german map, a typical download (~ 200 messages) is 5k (>1k sent, 4k received).

Some screenshots are here:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Resonance:
Thanks for the advice, so if i got a 5mb per month data tariff that should cover it (as i use gprs for the web and stuff)

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] griffog:
Yes that would be plenty. FWIW the quality of data has much improved in recent months and it is extremely useful if you spend much time on our congested roads.

For some reason my camera app on CM10 can take about 3-5 photos but then suddenly stops and seems to save just a corrupted file.

It looks like this

I'm using Hurtsky's kernel but I don't think it makes a difference because I had the same problem on a stock kernel. My SD cards are swapped though

Has anyone experienced anything similar, or can help me get rid of the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] geniusboy93:
Maybe your sdcard is corrupted? I don't know. Try to format your sdcard:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] sorenzoren:
I think theres a problem with ur sd card. Try to format it
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Yeti12:
I had the same problem with my old 8 GB memory card, I just moved onto a 32 GB one from sandisk, but i'll try formatting and see if that helps. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] dodora3d:
i was face same problem but no don't face may try change ur rom !

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rehnubis:
My phone ever since I got it has not turned off the screen when in call. my cheek keeps pressing against the screen and presses thing while in call.

What allows the screen to know when to turn off? eg.sensing cheek on screen or the light sensor being covered up or the way the phone is held.

Is there a setting I should look into?

I have the phone as: rooted, s-on, faux kernel, ruu rom, twrp recovery.

Thanks

Also when I put the phone face down to activate the speaker, the speaker does not turn on.

I went to this site: htt.....p://androidforums.com/htc-vivid/606680-screen-shuts-off-during-phone-call.ht....ml

and they said that it was some corruption with the phone. I hope that not the case and that there is a fix.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GaMeOvErBaBy:
If you can't solve this problem try to go "Phone" app then press "menu" then "settings" then find screen off when phone or type of,and put a check! Or if this can't to help you, take wet wipes and clean the part where the sensor is located! NOTE: If you have screen protector take away your protector and clean there then call and try without screen protector! ;)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rehnubis:
sensor

I had a screen protector, so ill take it off. Where is the sensor? What does it sense (heat,light)?

Thanks
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GaMeOvErBaBy:
Remove your screen protector then clean the entire upper part of the phone to the middle. Then try to call and tell me did your screen shut off
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rehnubis:
negative

It didnt work. actually the feature where i flip the phone upsidedown to activate speaker phone during a call doesnt work either. I think sense is messed up. It used to work though. I am stock with faux's kernel at the moment.

I did check the setting for the phone flipping and its enabled too.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ipagan10:
The sensor is located at the upper left side of the screen and detects changes in light, I'd recommend u RUU, try to see if the sensor works and the flip for speaker and then root again cuz it could be an unidentified bug of that kernel with that specific stock rom.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rehnubis:
negative

i install the ruu (RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_Rogers_WWE_3.43.631.2_Radio_3.05.4740.21_34.30.701040.22_release_264282_signed) its still does not work. The kernel is 3.0.16-g25afef7 htc-kernel@u18000-144 #1 smp preempt
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rehnubis:
additional info

I also tried using the app to recalibrate the snesor but it doesnt work, gives me some polling error. (http://allmobilsoft.com/android/a_system/2177-dhd_proximity_sensor_recalibrator.html). I also got a app from the play store to recognize my sensor, but my sensor is unresponsive at 9cm. im not sure if the app works or not on htc raiders. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS50aWdlcm1vbnN0ZXIucHJveGZpbmRlciJd). maybe my sensor is busted. I know if the sensor starts working then the screen will turn off during call and the auto speakers should work. so I managed to nail down the problem maybe.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ipagan10:
Ahg my friend then it sounds like your sensor is messed up, since you flashed the ruu maybe, if you have warranty they'll give you another vivid cuz it's a hardware error from what I understand. And yes that app is compatible with the vivid. Also they don't check the bootloader when its a hardware error so if they ask you if you rooted your phone, say no, but make sure you've relocked and flashed the ruu. Normally if it's your firs incident like this, they replace your phone for free. Good luck :D
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rehnubis:
sigh

Well this sucks because my warranty is up 2 months ago and im stuck with it till 2015. Meh Ill live without it. Thanks for your help though.:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ipagan10:
Actually i think htc directly can help you with that, I dont know about rogers, but when I had my evo 3d I had problems with signal and they told me it was hardware malfunction and told me and told me to call htc and they did help me with the issue. it was two years ago though but you should give it a try.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Actually... its a proximity sensor that turns the screen off... it sucks... i don't know how to word it... its boolean... so its either on... or off... no in between... I personally tried all the build.prop tweaks trying to get it working faster... no dice...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bugeyeblue:
I am trying to decide on either keeping my new s4, which I'm having a ton of fun with and really like, or returning it and going back to my iPhone 5. The iPhone is always supported my developers and by Apple to keep the phone working well throughout the 2 year contract. I'm mostly worried about how fast android manufacturers are moving and just don't want to get stuck using a phone that doesn't have any support after 6 or even 12 months.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dseda86:
Look at the galaxy s3! Been out for quite some time and is still fully supported, by Samsung and the rom community. So stop deliberating. You have a flagship phone, they tend to be supported for a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BzBz:
forever!

...well maybe not forever, but at least for another few years. it's mass produced with very good hardware. and it has AWS (the next gen wireless technology) which is the first of it's kind on the verizon network. those things should keep it in people's hands for a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
^this^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bugeyeblue:
How long do you all plan on keeping your galaxy s4? Do you all keep your phones for the 2 years that most of us sign up for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tbgreen89:
I think I get a new phone every 6-12 months! I just like new technology.. I just ditched my s3 yesterday and just picked up the s4. Couldn't be happier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
It will be officially supported for at least 18 months, and most likely longer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Many galaxy s2 phones just recently got updates, so that would put Samsung atleast a 2 year support window. It was supported from gingerbread to ICS now to jellybean. I wouldn't worry about getting manufacturer support during your contract. As a bonus, Verizon has been improving its own update timeline. I think we will be golden.

Of course that does not take into account the ROM dev community support. The galaxy line of phones typically sees amazing adoption and continuing support. Unless Sammie and Verizon really crack down on locking us down, our devs should be able to keep us moving forward.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evilm:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] spotmark:
Other than Jailbreaking, for non-Apple sanctioned app stores, what kind of developer support does the iPhone get? Seems to me like you're stuck with Apple's version of iOS, no matter what.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bugeyeblue:
Thanks for the replies. I guess I'm just worried about having a phone that in a year or so will be out of date and just don't want to be stuck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Caveman419:
I hear you....iust got the S4 and only had my Note 2 since February. Gonna run with both for a while or until the Note 3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
Hopefully not TOO long since they screwed the S3 up with their most recent update. We got extra bloat and some of the fluff from the S4 like the resource hogging multi window (perhaps not the best app for a dual core). Not to mention radio reception got worse along with battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] middmd:
Samsung tends to give good support. With a flagship across all the major carriers the s4 will see amazing dev support.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Being a Galaxy device, it won't get dumped in less than a year like an htc device
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jacobk:
yeah, this worked out so well for the htc thunderbolt

i know its apples and oranges, just sayin that anything first gen shouldnt be a deal-maker
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Just noticed this and had to clarify that the S4 is not Verizon's first AWS device... not even close. It's one of seven that they're currently selling, and came to market a good six months after their first.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Super Sam Galaxy:
Until the S5

It will definitely be at least supported until the next Galaxy, and following the pattern that is likely to be next year. In addition to that, it will likely be supported for quite some time after because not everyone can get the new devices as soon as they come out. My guess would be at least anther six months, probably more. So if you are wondering if the S4 will last you until your next upgrade, I would say it is very likely that it will.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BzBz:
apples and orangutans. the aws implementation is just one of the reasons this device should see a wealth of support for a while.

i should have said one of the first. you're correct there are several aws devices on verizon, but no handsets yet. the s4 will be in the first batch of phones to be lte and aws compatible.

the great hardware and large number of s4 sold (in user's hands) will be the main driver for having this phone supported for some time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] number3pencil:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sdnick484:
I picked up a S4 from a corporate store last Thursday on release and grabbed the Incipio Dualpro case in white with it. Unfortunately I've noticed a pink discoloration of the outer shell already starting to occur around the parts that my hand comes in contact with the most (i.e. near the power button, below the camera, etc.). This is my first Incipio case, so I was wondering if this is a known issue or if there's a way to clean it (wiping with water isn't making it a difference).

The material of the outer case is marketed as "Plextonium" (some sort of polycarbonate). I'm an engineer and don't really come into contact with any strong chemicals so I believe the discoloration might be from natural oils in the skin. The phone is kept in jean pockets whenever it's not in use so I don't think it just rubbed up against anything (the fact that the discoloration is on the parts I touch most often also supports this).

This is quite a shame as I actually really like the case otherwise.
[LG Optimus G Pro] MrNa5ty:
1st i want to say that ATT told me that LG didnt put the water sticker on the 1st 1000 pro's that were shipped out. So they couldnt tell if it was due to water . lol :P even though it wasnt ....was due to a dumb app....

anyways.. bricked the phone try flash and bunch of other things no work i was so frustrated plus wanted to see how warrenty worked after 14 days... soo ATT is sending a new one and I only have to pay 14.95 for 2 day shipping and 4-6 days would have been free.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
WHYY did you pay for that extra shipping???? If you ask they ALWAYS have gave me free OVERNIGHT shipping..
[LG Optimus G Pro] MrNa5ty:
Lol .. i guess your right ..could have hustled them into getting me overnight shipping all good ... I do got a question mayb u or someone might know ...do i get another 1 year warrenty on the new phone im about to get lol ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
No, It will have the SAME amount of time on warranty as if it was your first.
[LG Optimus G Pro] MrNa5ty:
Ok cool only had phone since 5/11 lol thanks good to know
[LG Optimus G Pro] RaiderDuck:
My wife used to work for AT&T warranty service and that was the first question they asked people: "Please remove the back cover and look at the AT&T logo inside. Is it red, pink, or white?" If someone said red or pink, then it was water damage and not covered. You'd be surprised at how many people would hang up, then call back five minutes later, say it was white, and be positively shocked to learn their previous call had been logged. Oops.
[LG Optimus G Pro] hyelton:
LOL! Thats a good one! But some reps wont read the logs ::D
[LG Optimus G Pro] kevace1:
I don't think it matters as even when you send the phone back and they see the red sticker they will send you right back to same phone with the red sticker and tell you your not covered....tried it a while back with a HTC Tilt2.....,does anybody remember those? lololol

Thanks Graham
[General Topics] interestingfellow:
sd card reader is the only way i know of.
[General Topics] xda-rocks:
If you want to start transferring large files, you 'must' get a card reader. They're dirt cheap now and will transfer your files in a whiz. It will take what seems like a lifetime doing it through AS.
[General Topics] icarusbop:
If you must se AS, right click on the green AS symbol in the systray and select explore, from there you can navigate to the memory card and just drag/dropv the file as always in windows.

Heed the previous warnings though, it will take a long time; a card reader is about £6 and will speed the transfer up by orders of multitude.

Also, if you are going to be transferring a lot of big files you could try my new software which is underdevelopment, it sunchronises any files on the PPC to the desktop including memory cards, and will very soon have the capability to do the sync over a card reader to the memory card.

Unsure if it is the done thing here but I'd like to thank all those who have helped - I used the Explore feature as I didn't have a card reader & you were spot on as it took ages.

The 1st time I tried it crashed half way through I then had to reinstall Activesync which then interfered with my cordless mouse so I had to reinstall that.

On the 3rd attempt I finally got it done so I shall be buying a £ 6 card reader ASAP as it took 2 hours to sort LOL..
