Hi there....oooeww I must agree with Saksham, for the really new guys it all very hardcore. But let me hand a first topic:

I'm getting my T-Mobile locked MDAC next week. I already no how to get it unlocked for almost 30 euros. But what is my next step to boost the Magician? I think it is something with the extended rom...I know, i know....forgive if these questions are so basic...it's just that there are starters on this forum too...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] 1471:
The thing to do is read the manual (except where it's wrong) and look for sites that have "newbie" guides. Your product site such as http://www.clubimate.com will have them, and independent sites like http://www.modaco.com , http://www.compactjam.com and http://www.imate-user.com also have excellent beginners' articles. Look for subjects like "FAQ"s (Frequently Asked Questions), or "Sticky" threads in forums, which usually contain information most often asked for.

XDA-developers, as its name suggests, began life as a site for people who already have a basic working knowledge of HTC devices and wished to push those boundaries further. That does not mean to say it doesn't welcome new users, but the momentum here is to not get bogged down in rewriting product manuals. So you will probably not find as many FAQs here as on other sites.

Then again, sometimes it's hard to get past the first post even here, when some people can't understand the difference between a cellphone and a PDA, or the basics of how to turn their Magician on and off! (Not intended against saksam by the way, for asking a very valid question).

But I do see the need for a FAQ section on XDA-Developers to bridge the gap - even if it only points the new user to more relevant resources. All it needs is someone with the knowledge, time and inclination?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] RafRaf:
Tnx for the info. I understand the thing your saying and I agree. Your idea of putting a FAQ online, even if it is to redirect newbies to a place on the net were first time user can interact with more experienced user is a good one.

I'll check the sites you mentioned!

Does Google have an app that will sound an alarm when a specific wifi signal turns off or it cannot find that signal?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
You do realize that substrate, if actually taken advantage of, will completely blow away xposed and the need to flash zips and would allow us to do a lot more when it comes to modding android? The one thing jailbroken iPhones have over android is the tweaking and modding is actually better because of substrate. I still have my old iPhone 4 jailbroken and the tweaks and what not are a lot better than android. Though because jailbreaks are harder to come by now and take a long time to make, I left that scene and joined android. Very happy with my decision but still, substrate is amazing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altimax98:
I had it installed and it practically made my phone unusable. I installed winterboard and rebooted and it made every single app on the device crash. Nothing would open at all. Thank God for the holding volume down on boot trick because otherwise it would have required a new install. Not even safemode would work
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lojak29:
Wow I didnt wanna start a debockle. It was just a question, and I agree if it worked which I assume In time it will.. cause evidently there are more people pro for it then apposed to it. And if it worked for apple as well as it does it could make android awesome .

Cydia ui tweaks and mods are very unique for what they do for a iPod and if that same concept opens it's doors for android it's all good from there .

Saurik, wouldn't have waisted his time if he had not planned for success at this .He clearly succeded with cydia and apple.

Anyways lets not sit here and bash and get off topic, the topic and question was just a moderate simple one.... and already blown out of proportion

[Sony Xperia ZL] dirt_squirrel:
Here's my issue:

I have a Bell unlocked ZL that i currently use on fido. I have matched the band specs to other lte enabled devices on fido roster for lte compatibility (1700/2100mhz specifically because that's what my ZL has) but i'm not getting lte.

I ran in to this problem with my unlocked s3 and note, but for some reason I was able to get lte with my Nexus 4 (purchased from fido), which technically doesn't even support lte.

I have the correct answer settings and everything, but my phone just won't catch an lte signal.

Can anyone shed some light on this situation for me?
[Sony Xperia ZL] nutzuTo:
Maybe u dont have the lte simcard,cuz my lte works nice on fido
[Sony Xperia ZL] dirt_squirrel:
That's the only thing I can think of at this time. Gonna go get an lte sim tomorrow and see what happens, but for what it's worth i was under the impression I had one already lol
[Sony Xperia ZL] rfg13:
I';m with Fido, and there is no problem with LTE after upgrading to 4..2.2

from your screenshots i see the difference with my settings:

Name: Fido LTE

APN: ltemobile.apn

the rest is okay

MAY be it's case sensitive. can't guarantee that.

I had to set it manually.

the LTE sign appears when data is chosen.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dirt_squirrel:
As it turns out, the twat that sold me a "LTE sim" actually sold me a regular sim.

After buying a proper LTE sim and swapping it out, (no apn settings changed) I now have full LTE access.

With dual shock 3 support built in and the IR blaster for universal remote functionality, I'm 100% satisfied with my Xperia ZL.

Bugger all the haters that chirp about the screen and viewing angles. It's a tight ass phone and the tech behind it is well beyond par.

Hi all! Running PAC ROM JB 4.2.2 LOVE it.

I utilize a root-only app, a swapfile RAM expander. Utilize my extermal SD to create a 1.8GB swapfile that the system uses as VM.

Any thoughts on this, does any other DInc developer/modder use this as well?

My phone's memory capacity now reads at 2.5GB. Runs that way too!

Bring on any and all feedback.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoRelation:
As a bit of background, I've been a kernel developer, embedded developer, and security researcher for 10+ years. I recently bought a Nook HD+ in BN's fire sale, mostly to teach myself about Android.

Does anyone know which branches of which repos are needed for CM 10.1 for the HD+? Likewise, manifests? I found the thread in the dev forum with build instructions for CM 10.0, but that doesn't necessarily help with 10.1. I found a number of repos that seem related, but I'd rather not guess. I'm particularly interested in pushing my own kernel and device driver builds.

Also, if the build instructions vary substantially from either the instructions in the verygreen's 10.0 thread or CM's standard build instructions, let me know how it's different.

Thanks in advance!

Very green is the guy to message about building for the HD+. He figured out the proper method to install to internal memory. He's very active on the forums so message him. He's looking for another dev to take the pressure off.

That cm10 thread is more applicable to SD card builds which are far inferior (mostly slower) to the newer emmc builds. He may have newer instructions for you.

noviiremote

The best sw for xda2 is noviiremote 2.1 (download trial version from novii.com).

Operative range is within 2 meters for almost all tv to remote;something more for sony cd player in my experience.

Noviiremote has a wonderful learning section to load your own original remote (if not already included in the list); otherwise you can try to find it (ie if your original remote is broken) in its forum.

Remember to check the box for receiving all incoming beams in setting/connection before launch the sw.

Hello everybody, i have a problem with my hox lately, its driving me highly insane, the thing is, the phone turns off, it does not restart, it just turns off, at first seemed random, but i realize it was when there was some kind of "heavy" procces, like shooting video, taking a phone, but never has happen it while calling, once it turns off, it gets hot and if i try to turn in on, it does turns on, but turns off as soon as the home launcher shows, i dont know what it might be, i though it was the kernel when i was on the paranoid android, i changed it, it worked, dont know why, but yesterdat happend again, now i switched to viper rom, and my phone turned off as soon as the phone booted, anyone might know what it is? also the battery percentage seems random, when my phone turns off showing 49% battery, then i turn it on and manage to keep that way, then shows 60% or sometimes less than the original, and well, when the android system says it has 60% battery, the bootloader says the battery level its to low to flash, recovery says a totally different number, sometimes even 100% , can anyone give me any clue? does the battery went bad? shall i buy an iphone or a samsung phone?

---------- Post added at 04:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:21 AM ----------

or you can try pressing the power button for 8-10 seconds when ur phone is powered off and connected to the charger...it resets the battery and then keep the phone on charging until it is full without using it :) maybe it might help you...
[HTC One X] omar.adel:
1. What is your Hboot version? see it in the bootloader..

2. Did you do a full wipe before flashing the ROM ?

3. Did you "fastboot flash boot boot.img" for you ROM or Kernel ?

If your Hboot is 1.36 or above and you did a full wipe and flashed the boot.img and you still have that problem then definitely there is something wrong with the model you have from HTC.
[HTC One X] hopeless12:
thanks for the reply.

yes my hboot is 1.36, everytime i flash a diferent rom i do a full wipe, i did flash the boot image from the respective rom, since i get the radios

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtrader:
Hi, i'm travelling to the states in a week for about a month from canada and was wondering if anyone can link me with a cheap prepaid pay by minute plan. I am travelling most big cities like washington, vegas, sans etc and need service throughout.

What i currently have with my canadian provider is if im roaming in us, it will be .20c/minute outgoing in states, .20c incoming in states, and with a $5 addon it will go down to .10 per minute.

Im looking for something that is comparable to what i have and cheaper, including cost of microsim. Im using my nexus 4 so most provider will work. Text could be extra if its cheap, i get .15c/text out and free in currently with my sp. and Data could also be an extra if it have fair rates (currently mine will be $1/mb in states and with addon .50/mb)

I am not looking for too much minutes like 300+, anything below that will work. and also i prefer if its not prepaid by the day or month.

thanks in advance
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphantomx:
Since you're staying for about a month, I think it would be cheaper if you get a prepaid by month plan from T-mobile. For example the $30 1500mins + text 30mb web. After that you can just deactivate it. You can check the prepaid plans here http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans

I am not sure about the coverage though.

Edit: you can get the micro sim online from tmobile for $0.99 if you use promo code 99SIM
