please give me a clue!

thank you
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rudegar:
bluetooth tools does that

it try automaticly to direct the call to a headset

it should give you back sound when it's don trying

you can set the time in the reg or not use bluetooth tools
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] himalaya:
Other solution is keeping the bluetooth connection always on (click on the little clock on the ad-in of the bttools. The problem with this is that the battery goes flat very fast.

the easiest way would be installing htc sync and then uninstalling it....htc sync will be removed but the drivers will remain...or you can download the all in one toolkit..it has the driver setup of vivid

No the easiest way is to download the standalone HTCDrivers. The file can be found using a simple google search.

[Micromax A116] mehulboricha:
Hello Friends,

i have found many queries regarding how to get stock recovery back...therefore i am presenting the solution of it....

->Requirements

Stock Recovery Image(in attachments)

Scatter Loading File(in attachments)

Micromax A116 Drivers(32bit/64bit)

SP Flash Tool

A computer

A Micromax A116 (obviously)

->Steps

1. Install drivers for your phone using Micromax drivers.

2. Extract the Stock ROM folder and replace recovery.img with cwm recovery.

3. Extract and open the SP Flash Tools.

4. In SP Flash Tools, click on Scatter-Loading and the program will ask you the location of the scatter loading file for your device.

5. select the file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc" which is our scatter loading file.

Check only recovery.img and uncheck all others.

6. Switch off your phone (Remove the battery to make sure it is switched off).

7. In Flash Tool, go to Options and Click USB Mode so that it is enabled. Click options again and then go to DA Download All > Speed and finally select High Speed.

8. Click the Download option (present on the right of Firmware

> Upgrade option) and the flash tool will start looking for your phone.

9. Connect your phone now. The Flash Tool will start the flashing process, the progress of which can be viewed from a yellow progress bar at the bottom of the flash tool.

**Don't interrupt this process as it can potentially brick your device.

**Make sure no power interruption takes place. (Use a laptop to ensure this).

10. After the process completes, a green ring will appear on your device signalling that the process was successful.

11.Disconnect your phone.

Setting keyboard "show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show" doesn't work

There is a problem that we are experiencing for long time. Please, star it in order of Google devs see it. Thanks.

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39729

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Make sure the Android Keyboard is set as your input method.

2. Navigate to settings > Language & Input > Android Keyboard Settings

3. Set "Show correction suggestions" setting to "Always Show"

4. Open Google Now and tap the search box

5. The Android keyboard is displayed, but does not give suggestions

What happened:

When using the Android keyboard, suggestions are not always shown to you as you would expect. A proper description of current "Always show" implementation is "Always show...with some exceptions"

(Note: This is presumably because textNoSuggestions and/or TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS is set for the inputType in the apps where suggestions are not shown)

What you think the correct behavior should be:

1. Keep the current implementation of "Always Show" but rename it "Show when enabled" or just "Enabled" (or anything that doesn't have the finality of "always")

2. Add new implementation of option "Always Show" that ignores the app's preference for showing suggestions and actually ALWAYS show suggestions.

for anyone still looking for a solution there is the Kii keyboard on the play store which offer the option to keep the correction bar visible while retaining the same look and feel of the original Google keyboard.
[Android General] Maverick617:
Need some help with this Feature!!

I struggle to have this option work correctly on any of my keyboard apps not only google. Allot of times theres no suggestions and what happens is the auto-correct feature kicks in instead. Now i rather have the correct way to spell a word or options for similuar words above the number keys on my keyboard. But instead theres no suggested words at all and my typing becomes etrocious and words get spelt with numbers randomly placed around and nothing corrects however words do, I guess you say the oppisite of correct? I might type "Thanks" allot and because ive hit "5hnks" hitting "5" by mistake makes the keyboard think "thats a new word, let me add that to my dicitionary" and now "thanks" becomes "5hnks" and many words that begin "Th" are now replaced to "5h" because the keyboard has auto learned Incorrectly thinking its being smart to learn how you type, Does this make any sence? its anoying when i dont cath the mistakes.. I want a better working "Sugested words" Option?

Here is a thread with radio and firmware from the ICS RUU: [RADIO] [FIRMWARE] ICS firmware and radio from WWE RUU. Also there are a threads with radios here and there. But where can i get older firmwares than the one from ICS RUU thread?

Offtopic: I flashed this firmware with radio (because i wanted the newest, and i had the oldest after downgrading to get S-OFF... i expect i'll get some hatred from the forum for flashing radio without strong reason). It was said in thread that it contains touchscreen drivers. I also flashed cyanogen 10.1 rom. The thing is I feel scrolling and especialy it's "kinetics" are weird, compared to stock rom i had before (i have problems controlling scrolling speed, it's either too slow or too fast). Sadly, i can't remember had it changed after i flashed cyanogen or this new firmware, therefore can't tell the reason. I was wondering what if i had to downgrade firmware - i don't know where to get it. Or maybe i should start a thread about scrolling issue?

You can try extracting it from ruus, that's what someone did (from the Ics ruu) in that thread you got it from. But I doubt the extra firmware being upgraded is your problem anyway, haven't heard of anyone else with such issues.

CyanogenMod does feel different scrolling etc. than sense roms, maybe you just have to get used to it

[SOLVED] [temp. fix] IMEI Null , Unknown Baseband

Confirmed working with i337 and i337m

Original problem:

Hi

I have received an i337 s4 with imei nul/nul and with no baseband (unknown) - see attached pics.

The user stated that he played with some menu from Samsung secret codes.

It's on stock recovery, download mode doesn't show any flash counters, binary and sys status as 'official' and write protection 'enabled'

Also the home screen shows a certain menu with a notification 'update device information' see attached pic.

I have done a factory rest via stock recovery, still showing the same issues.

How can I solve this hopefully?

update SOLVED:

Thanks to Colonel Sander aka Quasimodem for all the help, here and over hangout.

After having problems with QPST/ EFS pro etc, in repairing, I flashed his efs.img , this removed the home screen error notice and the phone was working normal - still with IMEI = null / null and baseband = unknown

Today he made a flashable zip, which helped me fully flash his efs,

package_extract_file("flash_image", "/tmp/flash_image");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/flash_image");

ui_print("Installing EFS...");

assert(package_extract_file("efs.img", "/tmp/efs.img"),

run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10", "/tmp/efs.img"),

assert(package_extract_file("m9kefs1.img", "/tmp/m9kefs1.img"),

run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p13", "/tmp/m9kefs1.img"),

assert(package_extract_file("m9kefs2.img", "/tmp/m9kefs2.img"),

run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/tmp/m9kefs2.img"),

assert(package_extract_file("m9kefs3.img", "/tmp/m9kefs3.img"),

run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p15", "/tmp/m9kefs3.img"),

delete("/tmp/efs.img"));

delete("/tmp/m9kefs1.img"));

delete("/tmp/m9kefs2.img"));

delete("/tmp/m9kefs3.img"));

delete("/tmp/flash_image");

After the flash I got back my baseband :victory:

My IMEI has changed from null / null to a 0 / 00 this is not a problem over here, and my network is fully active and amazingly still UNLOCKED.

I would hopefully inject my original IMEI with Z3X box service if I couldn't repair over the QPST and other similar softwares.

Thanks all.

UPDATE:

I have added the EFS zip, this works confirm with i337 and i337m

But this does NOT work with i9505 (I would not advice to flash it on i9500)

Follow all the procedures before going for a flash.

Thanks to [MENTION=2624398]Quasimodem[/MENTION] for the original zip.

I will watch this for awhile, and see what happens. Just trying to figure out what you guys are trying to accomplish...carry on.

My suggestion is be careful with IMEI as if you let someone have your #, and at any point that person plugs in that # in his device and hits the network, you will get both devices blacklisted from the carrier. I am hoping you guys know this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dogmatism:

Yep... It was mainly just a show of good will, and to be able to mess around with an untouched EFS backup. I'm having issues finding the IMEI in any of those files.

I use riff-box, this is the reason this phone ended up with me, but I do not wish to have a soldering procedure on the board... and still even if i were to place a whole dump and repair efs I would still need to fix the correct imei, and I have access to phone/ eMMC/ bootloader (so why jtag) it would be better to buy a Z3X box instead.

Just an update with sanders:

We didn't make much progress,

- qpst tool doesn't seem to work (to get .qcn) and also show an error abt wrong "SPC"

- efs pro also is not writing the IMEI

So seems like no choice other than z3x box.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dogmatism:
Go to i9500 section or get a working i9500 phone and backup / make an image of the efs partitionS (notice the "s") and flash/restore it.

This is the basic principal. You may need to ask technical details from someone as I am noob on lynx.

Btw To be honest, i don't think anyone will be willing to give you a copy of the efs partition. .. as it may forge their imei. (Though the unmatched imei seems to be rejected when flashed as in our case above.) People like Sanders are rare. So you may need to work by yourself to get a copy from a working phone from a friend/otherwise.
