[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] te5ter:
Rooted Vibrant running Helly Bean 2.2. Camera wasnt opening so i rebooted my phone. Get stuck on cyanogen loading screen and does nothing. I pull battery, reinsert, volume down+power and i get nothing. The samsung vibrant screen flashes, and either turns off or goes into infinite cyanogen loading screen depending on how long i hold the power button. I cant get into download mode either. How can i force it into recovery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] te5ter:
I had unbrickable mod applied to this device already, so eventually i forced the phone into download and reverted to stock and started all over again. I wonder what broke what :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugartibbs:
If you can get the boot cyon, keep working it, there are several methods. Pullbattery # button then plug usb, change ports, I know but sometimes it works, if you have a boot screen, you can get download, if you do this enough you should invest in a USB jig, my old skorkin jig works on my S3 to force download, good luck, you'll get it. Itsd a soft brick,Be Odin ready...

So I was tinkering with roms, and then suddenly my last reboot is now stuck at the sony logo. I tried a hard reset but it didn't help.

Tried flashing stock ftf, but it gets stuck at checking header.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
I know you all say if you get a replacement phone, you shouldn't restore a nandroid of it, but what if I just restore the data, would that mess it up? I head that if you restore a nandroid, from one phone to another, it messes things up. Is that true?

I have to take my phone into sprint and was just wondering, or should I just play it safe and re set everything back up.

^^^^^^^^^

Can't say how Sprint insurance treats their customers, but I sent back a phone with a cracked camera lens when I had T-Mobile and their insurance company charged me almost $100 for what they called a cracked screen and was not covered by insurance.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No, it normally shouldn't mess anything up. Try restoring the entire backup, sometimes data doesn't play nice when you restore on a "different" rom. Since the data backup was created with a certain ROM snapshot, it may work better to restore the entire backup.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnabJ:
Hi. Am no noob anymore yet have a small confusion regarding Licenses in Android apps.

I am workin on a wallpaper chooser app for Stock Roms based on Cm Sources.

The CM SOURCE CODE IS licensed under Apache Common 2.0

THE APP THREAD FOR REFERENCE : http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=43270728

So is there any special requirement to distribute such apps?

If yes then what are the extra/Special requirements n how to enforce them in my app.

Its free but am not thinkin of makin it opensource if not necessary to do so.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
You only need to let to users know that you've used code licensed under Apache 2.0 License, but you don't need to make your work opensource (even more, you don't need to license your work under the same license).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnabJ:
Means just writing that the app source code is under apache 2.0 in its play store description will do na??

Do I also need to link to the licence through app??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Yep.

No, only if you wish to use the same license (of course is recommendable add again the notice about the code and its origins).

Is there any gps map/app that uses handphone data and do not require use of gps satellite?

I need it so that when I reach places that I cannot connect to gps satellite, I can use the handphone data plan for gps.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] mha93:
You can choose how the map/gps app locate you in the location settings. Google maps is usually more than adequate for me as a map/gps app.
[General Questions and Answers] alearn:
If I have unticked "GPS satellites" can I still use Google map like a GPS? Does it have turn by turn prompt? I think it is called Google navigation or something?

I am using in Singapore.

Thanks for all help. I am a newbie in smartphone.
[General Questions and Answers] mha93:
Hmm I think they will probably prompt you to enable it and then revert to your data plan after that. I live in Singapore and personally, I've never been successful when trying to use the gps satellite here even in an open area and usually have to revert to my data plan. For the other question, I can't really say much since I don't use Google navigation and instead opting to manually find my location in Google maps every few minutes.
[General Questions and Answers] alearn:
Do mean unsuccessful to use gps satellite for google maps? Do you mean you need to untick "GPS satellites" so that Google maps can work? If i understand correctly, you only use Google maps to find how to got from point A to point B.
[General Questions and Answers] mha93:
Yeap, that what I meant. Google maps will usually tell me 'My location is unavailable' when I use gps only and I have to switch on my data plan. You don't really need to switch off the gps for google maps to work, its just that switching on gps would waste the battery since I can't reach the gps satellite and yes, thats what I usually use it as. I use the directions settings in the app instead of google navigation
[HTC EVO 3D] HappyBirthday:
I started having problems when making outgoing calls yesterday. I'm getting a signal and am not having any problems receiving calls but when making a call my phone just sits on the dialing screen and doesn't ring and is acting like there's no signal. If I let it sit the call eventually goes through but will sit anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes before it does.

I've tried flashing a variety of different ROMs including Harmonia and ran all updates on it. I've also tried changing to 3 different radios with no difference. Anyone have any possible fixes, appreciate any help?

Currently on Virgin Mobile running Harmonia with 4Ext recovery, jbear s-off 1.58.

I had a similar issue where the battery showed charging, but the battery was not actually charging. I was able to determine that certain rom/kernal combos would not work properly together.

I changed my CID according the directions in this thread in order to switch to S-OFF and update my firmware.

Let hands free activation finish or call sprint and have them provision it again this happens to a lot of folks after getting S-OFF

My problem is that hands-free activation isn't working or doesn't appear to be working at all.

I tried calling customer service and they gave me a 6-digit programming code (053448) and an MSID to manually program my phone, but when I dial ##053448# I get the usual message about my phone not being activated.

The ROM I'm using is CM10.1, is there some way do this from within the phone settings?

[General Questions and Answers] MajorFoley:
Hey guys, im pretty much new to the android scene, last week one of my parents friends changed their carrier to Telstra and my plans came into the conversation, and i said that i would like to get an android phone in the near future (probably the nexus 5 depending on whos making it).

Anyways he said he could give me one of his old android phones, a HTC Velocity 4G to see if i liked it or not.

Now my previous phone was a Nokia N8, not exactly great for apps n stuff but it was good at browsing the net using Opera and its battery life was amazing especially with music in the background it could last for quite a bit. If you werent using the browser and it was just sitting there with a few tabs open it could last nearly the entire day, if you actively used it with music in the background i think it lasted about 2 -3 hours

So here are a couple of questions i would like to ask regarding the phone itself and the google play store n such.

1. Do all android phones seemingly have bad battery life? i put some music on this phone, and it didnt even want to last a damn hour, that im wondering if it really is the phone or if the battery was stuffed up during the time they had it (understandable)

2. Do all android phones come with this task manager and can you only fully close apps from this app itself? i mean the N8 all you did was hold a button it would have the open apps and you just touched the X button.

3.. The Google Play store. Do you have to sign in with a google account? i mean i have a youtube account with a gmail but i dont think i want my phone to get all these email notifications or store my contacts on this account, mainly because this account gets alot of spam, in the spam folder and in the inbox folder that and i dont really use google plus except on a few occasions that i dont really wanna receive those kinds of notifications. Is it better just to create a new gmail just for my phone?

4. If i want in the future, can i remove my android phone from an account and decide to move it to another account due to unforeseen circumstances and keep the apps i might buy in the future?

Please remember im still new to the android scene, pretty much using Symbian my whole life (well only nokia 6300 and nokia n8 but they were both great phones) so dont judge me to harshly.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] jdubya42:
Regular Android User Trying To Help

I am by no means an "expert", but I can try to answer your questions.

1. I currently have the Droid Razr MAXX HD and I can easily get 2 full days of use, and if I try, 3 days of full use. This is taking pictures, using 4g, playing games, texting, you name it. I also know they just released a 5000MaH battery for the S4, meaning it will last longer than my phone. Also, most phones have an optional extended battery.

2. Mostly, you don't need to close your apps. If you use the back button to navigate all the way out, or simply hit the home button, it will stay in your ram, but it won't normally interfere with the speediness of your device; since android apps are run in their own virtual device. But, in the settings you can force close any open app, and custom roms allow you a "kill" button for open apps.

3. I think it is better to create a new gmail for your phone. You have to sign into a gmail account to really even use an android phone, and I find it quite nifty. The one account lets you log into anything Google, the playstore, gmail, keep, etc. I have my contacts synced with my Gmail, so I never lose phone contacts, and I have really switched over to gmail because of my android phone. I just find it better to use than old school yahoo. Plus, I use drive, keep, and calendar frequently. Try all these Google apps for yourself, they can be very useful.

4. If by account you mean google account, then no, because the apps you purchase are synced with that account. If you mean carrier, then yes, because the apps are synced to the google account. You can also back your apps up with a rooted phone with certain software. Someone else might be better at answering this though.

Hope I helped.
[General Questions and Answers] Trozzul:
Mostly what jdubya42 said but heres my word on it.

1. Battery life. Battery life can be bad on any device, it depends on what you use and how much you use your data or WiFi Bluetooth etc. Also like jdub said the new s4 is getting a 5000mah battery, that's a lot of juice normally android phones will have only around 1000mah-1800mah, your lucky if you get 2000mah. Android tablets get somewhere around 7000mah, so 5k on a phone should last you all day. Just think of how much the nexus 5 will get.

2. Most android phones nowadays come with a task manager. On some of the Samsung phone all you would have to do is hold the home button and will show you all the apps you have opened, and keeps them running. Its a nice way to switch between apps but keeping apps in the background can drain your battery fast so you should close the ones your not using (the task manager for android only comes with android 4.0 and up devices lower versions of android close the app when exited out), for this I would recommend a phone that would have more than one core, the s4 comes with 1.6ghz quad core which is more than enough.

3.as for the gmail, yes you need to make gmail account or use existing one, android is open source, the way google make money is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer, HTC Samsung lg etc) makes the phones sells them, profit for OEM, and people buy apps movies music and books from the Google play store, profit for Google.

4. If you get a new android phone you are able to still use all the apps music etc you bought on your previous devices and use on future ones, you won't have to remove your gmail account from your old phone.
