[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rezic:
Hi everyone.

I've been spending a lot of time now searching the forums and google for answers regarding a problem I am experiencing with the Pixeldroid Android 4.2.2 NAND ROM. In case you are wondering I'm really bad at all this and in case I have to reflash or something like that I would be glad if it's possible to explain to me in detail what I have to do :)

So. I installed the ROM via magldr and clockwork mod, and to my suprise (cynanogen 10.1 jellybean 4.2 didn't work out for me) the OS booted and everything seemed to be ok. However when I wanted to check out the app store, I wasn't able to turn on the internet. I've seen people having issues where a network simply doesn't appear on their list, but I can't ENABLE WiFi connection! The slider that says on/off is greyed out and I can't interact with it in any way.

If there is any additional information needed to solve my issue I'll be happy to provide it. Keep in mind that I am very new to all of this and that I am still learning :)

Hello, I only published one app and was hoping it would at least get me my 25$ back.

I'm from Romania and I don't find 25$ to be a cheap price. The other problem with me being Romanian is that I can't open a merchant account, so I can only post free apps. My option was to use AdMob to get a little income. It wasn't much, having only gathered 4.40$ in 3 months. On top of that, my admob was suspended and I don't know why, I read the rules and as far as I know I didn't do anything wrong. I suspect someone purposely made fake clicks in my app just to mess with me.

I now decided to try Amazon App store, they let me publish paid apps even from my country. I know there were some people who asked for a paid version with no ads. I don't know how to deal with this situation now, I have the google play app which is free but it has a Donate popup. And then there's the same app (not yet approved) but without the donate links on the amazon app store.

Have you ever tried Amazon app store? Do people really buy apps there?

What do you suggest I do?

I had bad experience with Amazon store, they take long time to approve apps.

Amazon app store is an avenue that developers are still figuring out how to utilize optimally for their purpose.
[General Monetization] aiaran:
I agree with most of what has been said here... I don't get even 1% of the amount of downloads from Amazon as I do from Play. In my opinion it is just not Amazon's focus as Play is "THE" store front for apps. I think like most business ventures, it has a lot to do with timing. What kind of niche are your getting into. If super saturated, you may need to create a category within a category in order to reach new users.

[General Monetization] tom.mleko:
True, but ARPU on Amazon is far better than on GPlay. Of course GPlay is x10 (at least) when it comes to its reach but if you have a good app, use Amazon's APIs (ads, inapps, etc.) and talk to them, you might get featured. My experience is they actually respond to emails :)

Amazon Appstore will not make you uber-rich but it's a valid option, much better than GetJar imho.

well... I am German, but I live in the US... anyhow...

Hi guys, I need a very BIG HELP...

first of all, I'm a bit new with the flashing,,etc

I had the latest update on my Xperia Ray 4.0.4 ICS,, then I decided to flash it,, my bootloader was allowed unlock but i did not unlock it

i followed the walk through where you root without unlocking the bootloader

I flashed my phone to 4.1.A.0.562 kernel,

then flashed again to 4.1.B.0587 kernel,

went into CWM and installed Xperia Ultimate HD 3.0.2 from sd card,

then i saw the MOD 4.4,

installed it from sd card by using CWM

all worked well

then i messed up everything

i wanted to remove the MOD

I went into CWM recovery mode

I had "wipe data/factory reset",

then had "wipe cash partition"

then install the Xperia Ultimate HD from sd card...

after installing, the phone remained on the Sony logo screen without loading...

I tried to flashed it but on flashtool it said "need to root"

I used fastboot mode,, and unlock my bootloader successfully..

I flashed it again to 4.1.A.0.562 kernel and then to 4.1.B.0587 kernel,, but still nothing happened :'(

my phone is still stuck on the "Sony" logo screen and I cannot enter CWM recovery

And i think that my phone was not on debugging mode or unknown sources checked

Dont know what to do....... :'(

PLEASE HELP...................
[General Questions and Answers] ravenwing_15:
did you follow the instructions of the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1924291 correctly? you also said in the end you able to unlock you bootloader, so flash at fastboot any kernel that is compatible with the rom you want or the one the provide.

OR

IF you want to repeat all the procedures from the start flash back your stock ICS ROM then root it the way you know how to root it..install CWM then GO follow the instruction carefully of the ROM you wanted to try :D just be careful not to brick your device by flashing rom not intended for your device :D

GOOD LUCK! :D
[General Questions and Answers] leegethas:
Hi,

I also ended up with a bricked Xperia Ray. If you did not unlock your bootloader, you should be able to restore your phone with Sony Update Service. That worked for me, until I unlocked my bootloader. Once unlocked, the software refuses to do anything with your phone and you're forced to take more drastic measures.

The method demonstrated in the video worked perfect for me. However, you'll have Android 2.3 running. If your bootloader is still unlocked, you should be able to update with Sony Update Service. If not, you can try do download a more recent stockrom and flash that with flashtool. That worked for me. I still had to flash another kernel though, to get Doomlord working again and root my phone. I used RecoveryX to flash CWM recovery on my phone.

I also recommend Iced Bean 3, it's work really well on my phone. Don't make the same mistake as I did and do format /system, /cache and /data, as instructed. And follow these steps to update to 3.5

Hi,

This might not be the best place to make attention for developers, but here is my app idea

Since Vine is here for android, I have been thinking we can show the middle finger to iPhone users once more,

What I want to try to do is try to re register the Tablet / Phone Camera with my DSLR Camera using USB OTG. So when I use my phone to record or capture anything, it actually use the external connected DSLR Camera to do that rather than the Internal Camera.

Since DSLR Camera Controller is there already, and since there are people who tried to use external webcam with some moding, now the question is who can make this dream come true to me and other photographers?

This idea is highly possible and awesome if someone can make it happen.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrtcwlvl:
After a 3 year stint with Windows Phone I've come back to Android with the purchase of a Galaxy S4, however the transition back hasn't been entirely smooth.

One source of quite a bit of this ire, is from how android organizes the photo gallery. Doesn't matter the app, they all seem to organize in a similar way - find all folders with photos in it, list every folder as a separate album. That's great, but I don't want that.

On my Lumia 920 I had my photos organized like this:

And on the device, they show up like this:

I have folders with only subfolders as content:

And they retain this organization in the photo viewer:

For the life of me, I cannot find a single app that does this. I've tried Scalado, QuickPic, Just Pictures, Android ICS Gallery, Samsung Gallery, Customizable Android 3D Gallery - nothing.

Is this just how the mediascanner works? Does anyone know of any way to organize into subfolders within a gallery app? Is there any app that allows me to custom define my own setup? I wouldn't mind having to configure a text file to my setup, I just want it organized.

I've been searching all morning and have found countess threads with no solution. This is how BB, iOS, WP, and almost every other mobile OS organizes photos.

Thank you for your time.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Solution thanks to GermainZ.

The application F-Stop Media Gallery on the android marketplace allows the construction of custom albums. Although you cannot specify covers for the empty albums containing subalbums, I've found a decent workaround.

Now my album view looks like this:

With subalbums looking like this. In order to get some form of album cover, you need images in the folder. However it will take the top 4 images and use those, so if you want a phone for the whole cover you'll need to split it up into 4 quadrants. Or just do 1 image and deal with it being small. That is what I did because I got lazy.

Also, albums within other albums don't take on covers for some reason. I contacted the dev and he said this was intentional but they were looking to change this in the future.

Albums need to be manually defined, which is a tad irritating but it works alright once you have it set up.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I have not seen any that will do that. To be honest Android is supposed to be different then all the other OS

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrtcwlvl:
That's a particularly silly reason to have a system that lacks features every other system offers.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
TO be honest it is a perfect reason. I mean really think about. Linux is different then every other OS on the planet. So it only makes sense that Android would be to.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
It's perfectly possible to make an app that does that. Difference doesn't have to mean inferiority.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Oh I am sure it can be. But to be honest I have no issues with how Quick pic works. It separates my folders just as they should. So inferiority is in the eye of the beholder.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yoinx:
So your position is ... what?

Android gets a pass on not having a pretty basic feature or any apps with the feature... because it's based on linux?

Well then. We might as well not even expect future version of android... or apps. They've all already gotten as good as they're gonna get, since they're based on linux.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No I point is you should not expect it to act like any other OS. If people want this feature they are more the welcome to make it. That is the great thing about android. Your free to make anything you like
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Unless I'm reading it wrong, that wasn't the impression I got.

He was simply giving us examples to clarify what kind of apps he wants. I still don't understand why you're talking about how different Android is as an OS.

EDIT: To make myself clear - If you don't know about such an app, that's cool. But going back to how the OS is different to explain how a perfectly possible to make application doesn't exist yet doesn't make any sense to me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The point was that you can not expect one OS to act like another. People come here and start asking well why doesnt this app do this or that, when the IOS, WP, WM ect apps do it like this. People should not expect the apps to work the same across different platforms. Can it be made to act like said app? Yeah most likely, just dont expect a stock app to work like other apps on different platforms
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Of course, and I totally agree with this. However, I personally didn't see the OP doing that, but giving us a precise example of what he wants. That's all. :)

[MENTION=1124468]Scrtcwlvl[/MENTION]

I searched around a bit - Check F-Stop Media Gallery, it has nested albums.

Otherwise, I think your best bet would be to get a file manager with media support. FX does that, but I don't think it does it for free.

Hello,

I'm curious what software/app you use for dialing with your S4.

Most of the time my phone sits in my pocket and I use BT for voice dial. I've found the current voice dial seems to be a lot more tedious than my S3. Confirming who I want to call and half the time on confirm - e.g. call Mary Smith at work - there are two numbers what number would you like to call - I press the work number and then it says do you want to call Mary Smith at work and I will say YES and then it goes I can't find yep in your phone book and I have to start all over.

Is there a way to switch off confirmations? Is there a way to switch which voice dialer (I tried VLINGO but it no longer supports BT dial).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
I use the headset that came with the S4. Long press on the bottom button and make my calls when driving. I haven't hooked up my S9 to it yet but then again that one is a stereo headphone headset so it goes in both ears.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] boe:
Thanks. I should have been more specific. I'm curious about the voice dial software people are using and if there are any options within the S4.
