[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cranny:
Landscape

Hi. It can be done. As far as I know you have 2 choices:

1) There is a piece of software developed by members of this forum. Try a search using the keywords SRS and Landscape. Read through the thread carefully because lots of versions were developed. I found one which worked really well for me ... but sorry I can't remember which one.

Advantage: Works. Quick & simple upgrade. Can easily be uninstalled.

Disadvantage: A number of your applications will not display correctly in landscape, notably the phone dialler (though you can still use it in portrait).

2) Upgrade to WM2003SE (second edition). A number of upgrades have been developed by members of this forum. I am currently using ROM version 2.06.00WWE with the UK extended ROM optimised for O2 users (put together by Finalzero). So far so good with this one for me. Your choice of ROM should be based on your locality and possibly your network. Again, do a serach - but make sure it is for the xdaII/Himalaya and not one of the newer versions.

Advantages: Works well and with more (but not all! - especially ones you add yourself) applications.

Disadvantages: Involves a ROM upgrade (I've been lucky so far but there are some horror stories around). Will invalidate your warranty. The 2.06.00 ROM is not official and not supported so you are moving into the unknown (though my experience has been good so far).

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nudr01d:
Can anyone tell me where to locate the default wallpapers which VIRE Launcher uses please? :confused:

I wish to have a custom wallpaper, but want it 'fixed' so that it is the same on all homescreens, not scrolling and therefore only showing part wallpaper on each.

I cannot see the option in VIRE Launcher settings to set the option of scrolling homescreen wallpaper or not, so, seeing as the default ones that VIRE provides are fixed I would like to source them on the internal storage and overwrite one.

Cheers

Hello everybody

My cousin from the USA bring me a Verizon Galaxy S4, I putted a local gsm carrier sim card and it worked fine, I have rooted it and installed hyperdrive on it, but the problem is that it's always on the gsm 3g network which consumes a lot of battery and I can't force it to use the 2g network since this option isn't available unlike the international version of the galaxy s4

Is there any way to force it to use 2g gsm network?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
Verizon does not use any form of GSM. You are more likely on a CDMA network.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsangwc:
Maybe install Elixir 2? Maybe choosing network priority if there is any. The guy above has no idea what you are asking about.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xfantome:
Verizon network is cdma but the sch-i545 does support both cdma and gsm and my carrier is gsm

The problem is there is no option to force the phone to use the 2g only like for the i9500

I have installed the liquiezmooth Rop which is Aosp rom and it has this option, then i went back to my nandroid back up and now it use the 2g only !

I had no idea that the Vz S4 supported GSM. That's great to know. Thanks.

Download the app from the store called phone info. Open it and select gsm only. This way you'll force the phone to work on 2g(gsm).

Hi,

My uncle has got me a new Verizon S4 from USA in India. He did not turn it on in USA neither he has activated the phone. He simply got me the box packed phone.

I inserted an Indian GSM SIM card and switched it on, it did recognize the service provider and then asked me couple of questions to select languages and all.

However it does not select a Network Operator. My Network operator is Airtel. It shows a List of Local Network Operators but when i select any of them, it says "Registering on selected network operator" but then it fails.

Can some one help me over come it and how i can use this phone in India?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] seemcity:
Try to add apn for your provider and chose to search for the network automatically. Should work.

Restart to factory, when ask for language just tap the screen left bottom, right bottom, left bottom, right bottom and vol up.

The phone will activated, left bottom and right bottom mean just above the soft key, vol up is left side button for increase the vol.

yes voip calling is cheap compared to GSM calling. there are a number of voip Providers with Good Calling Rates.I have used Jumblo, VoipDiscount and actionvoip coz thy have cheap calls to where i want to call. basically it depends on where u are calling.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] DANDANA:
I use VOIPRaider (Mobile VOIP is the Android app for them), but yes, it does depend where you want to call.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] phownage:
If you're going to call the Philippines (your ID), I would go with Global Call. I actually use it to call one of my cousins who is studying there and the rates are way cheaper than skype or the other similar voip apps. You also can charge credits as you go along so you dont have to keep checking your bill.

Here is the link to the app if you want it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] filipinnaheart973:
I appreciate all your suggestions, I think I will try to see which one of these is suitable to my needs and I'll get back to you about my experience. thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] filipinnaheart973:

You pretty much get bonus credits based on the amount of credit you purchase.

depending on the phone you are calling, if it's smartphone to smartphone, there are many free apps but both parties need to download the same app. for landline or non smartphone users I'm using Global Call.

there are several ways to buy credit but you still need a credit card for that. Although there's the option of getting your friends to send you credit via the send gift menu.

If we talk just about calling apps then there are many apps in market to download free, and as every body knows "Skype" and "Google voice" are best for connect freely by using there app. But when it comes to make a cheap and quality call from Land-line or from an older phone. I,ll suggest you to use "Yello" they have VoIP app as-well for Smartphones. For more detail can visit Myyello.com hope that was helpful for you. :cowboy:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
I have a samsung galaxy tab p1000 tablet. It has froyo. Build version : FROYO.XWJJ7. I want to install cm-10.1-20130623-NIGHTLY-p1.zip.

I want to root it, install cwm, then do full wipe in cmw, then flash that zip I linked.

So my questions:

Can I root it with super1click? If I can't root it with that, then how can I root it?

When I rooted it. Can I use the cwm app from playstore to flash cwm? I read that it is better not to use that app to flash cwm for certain android phones/tablets. If I can't use the cwm app, then how can I flash cwm?

Is there anything special I have to care about? Like change bootloader or etc.

I need a simple step-by-step tutorial how to do these things. I don't want to brick my tablet.

Tried to search for the answers to no avail. In the contacts page, you can beam a contact to another person through irda or through bt. But another way is to send it through SMS like what most mobile phones do. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] tetragrammaton:
It's not possible. Unless you're using a nifty PIM software. :lol: Just copy and paste it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] snorbaard:
tetragrammaton's right. There is no built-in way to do this.

I think there's a utility that allows you to send vCards floating around on the internet somewhere, though.

Best way is to just go to your contact, select the number, copy, and then paste it into your sms. Most (not-so-smart) phones will recognize the number automatically.

Have anyone noticed that the Windows Mobile Phone Edition just 'swallows' certain types of smses?

Nokia Business Cards and Picture Messages never reach me, and I also never get any indication that the phone ever encoutered them, either. :shock:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] rollyblu:

So far I've tried it only with Nokia 7710, 6100 and 3120. I can send vCard to those phones, as well as receive vCard from them. For SonyEricsson, I haven't conducted a test yet. But I think it should be the same.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cayotte:
Forgot to mention that I can also send vCard using my IIs to my own number (my IIs acts as the sender and recipient at the same time).

Thanks for the feedback.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cayotte:
I tried it on SonyEricsson T610, the result is a bit dissappointing. Sony can received my vCard and display it correctly, but my IIs received vCard as a plain SMS (not in normal vCard format).

Who can edit to get the white theme

Enviado desde mi LT25i
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] dully79:
Creating a white theme is a massive task as you need to invert all the dark apps, and that is a lot.

On any given ROM the majority are using a dark theme. You only have to look at the work [MENTION=4579013]steveboss[/MENTION] has done inverting the white apps and the time he has spent doing so.

If your bootloader is unlocked try MIUI, they like it nice and white.

One other thing, if you use a white theme, be prepared for your battery to get the s&*t kicked out of it.;)
