[LG Nitro HD] KronicSkillz:
one of the fixes is to set wifi policy to never sleep, although for me, even tho i had wifi set to sleep when the screen was off, i was locking my screen on and it was still cutting out the download, so i think there is a seperate issue.

edit ----> today i had wifi set to never sleep and it still cut out, wierd.... it can't be my internet cuz i have never had a single cut out when downloading from PC.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akatsukiaashish:
I have recently flashed my Xperia S to a Global official release of Jelly bean 4.1.2 using flash tool.

However, there is one software much needed for me, called "proxyDroid".

The wifi Network in my campus is proxy protected and this app is necessary to allow all apps to use general proxy settings.

However, this app wants my phone to be rooted before installing it.

i googled about "How to root Xperia S with JB 4.1.2" and found doomLord's page with prerooted version of JB,

But the instructions were too complex for a first timer like me.

Here's the page:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2302631

Kindly simplify it for me, or please let me know if there's a simpler way to root my phone. I do not want to brick my phone so I am not taking any chance on things I don't understand. :)

Please, provide necessary guidance.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akatsukiaashish:
It says I need ICS installed. :/ While I already flashed by phone to JB 4.1.2 :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akatsukiaashish:
i do not find hose turtorial simple enough :/

What is exactly rooting of phone? Do I void my warranty if I root my phone? If yes, can I un-root it to restore warranty later?

Is there chance of bricking the phone?

In your tutorial your first lines are,

Unlocking bootloader on my phone is allowed. Do I still need to follow the same tutorial?

What is LB? (locked bootloader?)

I don't have ics installed, I have official JB 4.1.2. What is cwm? How I root with it?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akatsukiaashish:
I have this idea

Can I still factory format to stock OS from settings?

I can follow doomLord's guide here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2302631 if yes.

Also, what does he mean by "make sure that the /system partition is unmounted, i have noticed that in some kernels the /system partition remains mounted"? How do I check it?

Also how do I reboot my device in recovery mode?

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
All of those. Either Google or Search here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akatsukiaashish:
I understand that I might be asking too much. But I have flashed my phone recently. Just tell me if doing factory reset is safe for me or not? I'll take it up from there. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
All the steps in the DooMLoRD pre-rooted ROM thread are safe if you follow them. I know because I followed them and my phone is fine, dandy and, best of all, rooted.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akatsukiaashish:
Thanks

But, I already have generic JB 4.1.2. i just want to root it, should I still go for it?

Also, what doomLord he mean by "make sure that the /system partition is unmounted, i have noticed that in some kernels the /system partition remains mounted"? How do I check it?

I am posting here because I still have less than 10 posts. :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ThaweK:
Why do you give him root way with unblocking BL? Are you crazy? To author of questions : DO NOT OPEN BL! You are to amateur to do that. Root isn't void your guaranty. Check out posts how to flash ICS again, and then install JB PREROOTed

Maybe before spouting off personal attacks you should learn to read. I never even once mentioned unlocking bootloader.

Have a friend that has that for their S4, looks pretty nice and does its job. Moshi also sells something similar that's a few bucks less.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] edthesped:
I've had one on my phone for a few weeks and for the most part am smitten with it. I can't imagine not having it on my phone. I do feel the need to point out a couple of shortcomings though.

1. I get a rainbow effect in the center of the screen but rarely notice it unless I'm looking for it but I really wish it wasn't there.

2. There are little dots on the bottom of the glass, I am almost completely oblivious to them but some people can't stand them so I thought I should mention them.

If/when something happens to this protector I'll surely purchase another.

ive tried something like this on the iphone a while back

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ARCANAAA:
Could you also post a picture where ypu can see the edges of the glass.. i wanna know if it completely covers the screen..

[HTC One S] cuiltheory:
Until I get the supercid working , I have no way to have the s=off ( to mine best knowledge). I try many time to change the cid and fail as I am on the new jb stock rom(OTA). From what I did observe, the problem is the write protection, but I can not figure out if it is the /dev /block or the single file. I try to change attribute, but with no success. I did not try to rename the file. What will happen if I could rename the file(mccblk0p4) and copy the edited one. If I could rename the file, then not only my cid will be gone but the IMEI too and that would make the phone unusable. Checking with Root Explorer, the /dev /block and the files are in rw and should be writable. I am going to install Linux Mint ( my favorite) and see if I can change attrib in LInux. Any other suggestions?. Thanks.
[HTC One S] cuiltheory:
I found program for windows called "Android Commander". It let you access the phone file system, but when I try to copy my cid I got message that access was deny. Still looking.

I installed adbinsecure and shows root in AC. Will copy the file and stay in phone until reboot. Look like the AC copy to memory, not the physical dir.
[HTC One S] cuiltheory:
Update:. Writing to /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 will not work. I was able to copy mod file to /block and stay there until reboot. I was able to copy using AC. Restart the program and the file was there. On phone, I use Root Browser and the file was there. I use Total Commander and the file was there.

After rebooting the phone - the file was gone. Getting supecid this way will never work. The question I have - why do we need to change the carrier ID to have s=off?. If we need it to change then will not be in that file. Still looking.

Hi guys,

my name is Daniele and i'm the developer of PureContact.

I want to talk about my app.

With PureContact you can contact your friends through the use of gestures (swipe up, swipe down, swipe left, swipe right) or through double tap.

Through these simple actions you can recall the whatsapp conversation with the selected contact, send text, write an email or call.

Just long press on blank screen and add your favourite contact. Then you can choose the default photo contact or select one in your gallery.

Pick up one numbers and one email (if the contact have more than one) and just press save.

Go to the settings menu and choose the actions for the swipe.

Now you can use gestures to send text, whatsapp, email or call.

The app was released last night. I already have in mind a few features to be included in the next updates (such as the ability to write messages via facebook or twitter, add themes and other options), but in the meantime I would like to arrive at a stable version and a zero bug (I hope there aren't, but as all the early beta versions of any application I'm afraid that something will come out).

PureContact is free and is available on the Google Play Store.

If you have questions, found bugs, suggestions or requests, just ask :)

Thank you for your help and support.

Daniele
[Android Apps and Games] prycem:
Installed it. I like the look of the app. Will try out and give feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] keith456:
nice app !

hope you consider doing a widget or a dialer to the app in the near future

imagine a launcher with youre app intergrated into it that would be nice ...
[Android Apps and Games] orda2000:
Thank you! With the next updates i want to add widget and theme features :)
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 4123551:
I'm wondering, all my contacts are on Google's servers. Does this app support downloading / editing / updating these contacts? Furthermore this looks like a brilliant alternative to the boring stock people app.

~ djpbx
[Android Apps and Games] eakav:
Awesome!!!

I like your idea about how to interact with the icon, very clever!

just only one issue from me;

the (circle)border of people icons seems not smooth right now, the thumb(contact image) inside the circle is not smooth also.

Another thing, I suggested that the size for the contact icon might be bigger.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePureHeart:
It looks stunning, I must say!

I'll be closely following development :)

Very nice concept, good work. Any way you could possibly squeeze in another row to have a dozen contacts?
[Android Apps and Games] ashisharia:
Nice UI. Downloading. Great Work
[Android Apps and Games] obaidr:
Nice App but what it needs:

- Automatically add favorite contacts to the screen

- Make Icons moveable. Choose apps for "left", "right", "top" and "bottom" and than just move the contact to one of the sides

- Add dialer

- Add Call list

[Android Apps and Games] kmelkon:
This app is really awesome .. but I want to know why is the whatsapp shortcut not working with any of my contacts ?

and if you could improve on the starting time of the app that would be great for the main purpose of the app..
[Android Apps and Games] chrismast:
Looks like a promising start!

Two things would be great to add:

(1) an option to add all contacts instead of adding each manually 1-by-1 (of I missed the function to add all at once)

(2) more messenger options (e.g. Line, Skype etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] -Jesco-:
very very nice ui
[Android Apps and Games] Bishopandme:
In test now...

Thx!

B:silly:
[Android Apps and Games] tatkovladko:
Very nice!

Suggestion!

Make the contact pictures larger and/or with square/rectangular frames (maybe an option to choose too). There is just too much white space between the contacts.
[Android Apps and Games] cluttered_butter:
Lags?

the stock contacts application is seems quite laggy. Sometimes I have to wait close to a minute when I want to make a call. very frustrating when I have to do that in front of someone also carrying a smartphone. Takes the charm away.

My Question: Does this solve the problem of laggyness usually seen on ICS/JB phones? I currently have the Munjeni JB ROM for Xperia Sola.

Thanks in advance. :o

Thanks in advance

It will work fine for making and taking calls; not internet though.

Check the rates though - isn't it £1 a minute or something stupid like that for prepay roaming calls????

Hey guys

I want to start off by offering my immense gratitude to all the amazing devs who make this phone so amazing. I have a really noobish question. ::EDIT:: Sorry guys, I truly am a noob with phones. I asked the wrong question, I meant to ask why don't the 4.2.2 kernels have all the features of the other kernels, like overclocking, sweep2wake and that kind of stuff.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Because they're designed for completely different bases. The AOSP kernels don't have any of the code required to run Sense elements.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] r3xx3r:
Sorry, i should have been clearer in my op. I meant went do the sense based custom kernels have so many more features like overclocks, and sweep to wake and stuff like that. Is that stuff sense related? This is my first HTC phone, my last phone was the atrix 4g, very different.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
The aosp kernels have those features also.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] r3xx3r:
Oh, you know what. You're right. I'm an idiot, i was thinking of why don't 4.2.2 kernels have those features?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
They do...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Yep there's a couple at least.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] r3xx3r:
Well, i know Jacobs kernel has some of the features, but I've tried it but I remembering it having a bunch of issues, and rohan only has a test kernel that's worse (no offense rohan, your work is amazing) and I think those are the only 2.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Jacobs was rock solid for me. Never used rohans. I used vz linaro which is just missing s2w but was also rock solid and in fact my favourite in terms of performance.

Hello Friends,

I am facing issues with my Micromax A110 Canvas2. After trying 'n' number of times and 'n' number of ways, I am unable to use call conferencing while calling.

I have 2 questions:

1: Is this feature present in this phone model with standard ROM.

2: If not then what are the possible ways I can use voice call conferencing because it's a basic feature which is required most of the times.

Details:

Phone: Micromax A110 Canvas 2

ROM: Standard ROM

Version: Android 4.0.4, Ice Cream Sandwich..

Kindly revert.

Regards,

Harjeet Grover
[Motorola Droid RAZR] raypapa:
I have a Motorola Droid RAZR XT912. I was rooted on 4.1.2 and tried flashing a custom rom. Everything went good, when the phone rebooted the red Motorola logo came up, then it went to a black screen where it stayed. I have tried rebooting several times, same thing happens. I am also unable to access Fastboot. Any one have any idea how to fix this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TXKSSnapper:
Hold both volume buttons and power until the screen turns off. Press and hold them again and you should get into the bootloader menu. Choose ap fastboot, and then connect to your computer and fxz. If you truly can't get into the bootloader menu, you are pretty much screwed. But if you can get to the moto logo you can almost always get to the bootloader menu.

I must not have had the right timing when I tried that before, but I just got in! Thank you!

[General Questions and Answers] J. Clarkson:
Hi everyone,

I have checked the site http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_desire_x-4951.php and it states 'Browser: HTML5' most of them on GSM Arena do have 'Adobe Flash' there as well, I have checked on other sites and some places do say the HTC Desire X does support Flash, and some say it doesn't.

What will it be? Can anyone that owns this phone or used it before confirm if it supports Adobe Flash?

This is taken from the official HTC website on the Desire X handset.

Please help me clear this up, it's one of the features I want my new phone to have and the other phone I have looked at is the 'Samsung Galaxy S Advance' which states 'Browser: HTML, Adobe Flash', so an advantage for the HTC would be that it is HTML5 what ever this means.

Please help me clear this up, thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] noahthedominator:
The easiest way to get flash is to use a browser that supports it. For example my favorite browser is dolphin browser and it supports flash. So download dolphin browser from the play store and that should work.

Press thanks if I've helped u
[General Questions and Answers] J. Clarkson:
Thanks, but in terms of the Browser on the HTC Desire X does anyone know or tested if it supports Flash at all? Would appreciate it, if someone who has used the phone before could give me there input here, cheers.

If I understand correctly, I am able to change APNs in Beans to get sims from other providers to be recognized. I will be travelling to Barcelona in a few weeks and would like to purchase a local, prepaid sim. What do I need to look for with sims? How do I know what to change the APNs to?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
When you get to Spain buy a prepaid sim at one of the kiosks either at the airport or downtown (I would go with one of the big players as the coverage is usually better (Vodaphone, orange, etc) and then you need to add the appropriate APN data based on the card you buy. Here are a bunch of the APNs for Spain... that should cover you. I would link you to the thread where this came from but I can't find it right now (I copied the whole list awhile ago so I wouldn't have to dig for it).
