it makes me remember when i had my old nokia 5800...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat9v:
To each it's own, I guess. I paid enough for my phone to not endanger it more than I have to. Personally I would sooner buy bigger battery than flash older firmware with known bug and hope for some miniscule battery saving advantage.

From Samsung perspective $ are more important and anything that lowers servicing costs is golden.

The incompatibilty may also be a side effect of other changes, fixing of bug(s) we, as community, are not even aware of or some other problem we know nothing of. There is no apparent reason for Samsung to close a path to flashing old firmwares unless they have some need to do it (maybe new spyware in new kernels?). We are an additional service cost because we flash and sometimes break our phones.

Changing kernel across many platforms suggest either fixing some bug (again), creating some new spyware or some strange change in software policy. Do you have a better idea?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semantsen:

This reminds me of difficulties faced flashing my Nokia N8 to lower grade firmware
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kremata:
You probably had a brand new battery when you where on 4.1.1 and now your battery has wear out a bit so it's not as efficient as at the begining. Thinking the battery life was better on 4.1.1 is a myth. Ask anyone who is not on XDA and use stock ROM all the time. 4.1.1 was buggy and not stable and Sammy quickly upgraded to 4.1.2. the lastest XXMDG1 is by far the most stable Rom ever released by Samsung and the battery life is superior too.

I believe they prevent downgrading because of some security patch.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewTo:
about a year ago Sonyericson xperia Arc has ICS upgrade and eventually this ICS upgrade made the phone completely not functioning in the moderate use level. hardware limitations and etc....

and of course, absolute no way to downgrade unless root + flash rom

I don't really understand why either... maybe this is to force us to pay for a new phone, and abandon the most updated but not compatible nor usable old devices. Marketing strategy? :silly:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muppetmania:
Probably to stop people being able to easily unlock their phone, especially with the the qualcomm versions there was a service menu hack that allowed it.

Same reason Sony didn't allow PSP firmware downgrades, older firmwares had exploitable holes.

There are very few hardware vendors that allow downgrades, mostly because older versions often have more bugs, so the prefer people to be on later versions. It reduces the surface area of firmwares their support staff have to troubleshoot.

If you think Samsung care that you can't downgrade, you're living in a dream world.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sierramike:
Hi,

I just got my HTC One which seems a real excellent device, but first thing that I miss (coming from an HTC One X), is that I don't see the contact's picture when I receive a SMS notification on the lockscreen, which was quicker to identify than needing to read the contact's name ...

Is there a way to change this ?

On missed calls I see the contact's picture, so why not on SMS ?

Thanks !

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
Go under google acct, and turn off all of the sync items you don't need, especially the picasa stuff, that happen to me a few times, I turned that off and it never returned, now that might be the exact fix for you, but a real good start.

Good luck.

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] zopostyle:
Hi,

I could successfully install mms from CM10.1 on Sense 4.2.2, there is only one feature that is not working..

When I try to create a shortcut to direct sends sms to someone, the application opens but the TO field is empty.. Anyone knows how can it be fixed?

I choose to use this mms app because of it's layout and quick reply dialog..
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] joho5:
Does this apk have the bubble theming and emojis built in?
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] zopostyle:
bubble theme? don't know..I just downloaded CM10.1 from get.cm, extracted mms.apk and copied to /system/app folder..
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] pmeinert:
Does the dark theme works for you? It didn't when I tried... Have reverted to Sense SMS now, so I cannot test your shortcut problem.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] doode2011:
It also has issues with MMS not sending properly. I've also tried it with AOKP mms app too.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] zopostyle:
Yes it worked!
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] pmeinert:
Ok, thanks for confirming. I just reinstalled and now I can't even find the dark theme option :-/.

Anyhow. I tested shortcut to direct message and I there is already a thread for this recipient in the sms program it goes directly to it. If there is no previous messages for this recipient it goes to empty to field as you descripe..
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] zopostyle:
I use this mms.apk... Then go to settings, check the option Use dark theme.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] pmeinert:
The one I had, was from the 24/7 nightly and strangly the options is not there, though I have an older where it is, but not working.

Thanks for the version which works for you. I will keep for later. I have in the mean time download the mms from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2376846

It is already dark (but light seems broken). It has the same problem with direct message shortcut, it only works for recipient already in the message list.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] gartner83:
You must clear data of mms apk from Application Settings and delete the mms database - > go to /data/data/com.android.providers.telepohony/databases/ and delete the mmssms.db file. Reboot and mms sending will work.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] doode2011:
Thanks! I'll try that ASAP and report back :good:
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] zopostyle:
Nice, now there is just the sending from shortcut problem...
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] doode2011:
I tried that, but it's still stuck on sending. I've been trying to fix for it since I got the HTC One. I'm running ARHD 12.1 Rom and I just want the MMS apk from AOKP/CM10.1 since I'm used to it with my DesireHD. Thanks for your help :)
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] gartner83:
I am also on ARHD 12.1 and I did the following procedure.

1. Moved Mms.apk to /system/app/

2. Changed permission of Mms.apk to rw-r-r.

3. Deleted the htc messaging apk.

4. Deleted the mmssms.db file

5. Restarted my phone,deleted dalvik and cache in recovery.

6. Booted into system and deleted all cache and app data from settings-app settings-Messaging.apk.

7. Rebooted again and it worked.

Worked on GoogleEdition Mms.apk and CM10.1 Mms.apk.

Try to do it all over again,delete everything and redo my steps,it must work.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] doode2011:
Hmm.. Messaging stops working when I try to add a contact when sending text message. First, it says Messaging stopped working (when adding contact first), then "Com.Android.Mms" stopped working (when adding text first, then contact).
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] gartner83:
This is really strange, I have never had a single issue. Did you use the exact procedure?

Maybe you can try mms apk from the ge edition first. I used the one from ARHD GE 2.0.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] doode2011:
I used the exact procedures with different MMS apks (AOKP and CM10.1). Are they the same or different? I'll research first. I know it's weird,

[Android General] Smo0thK:
Use any 1 of the following methods.

I have personally tried these on 2 of my china android phones.

1. Using linux {Recommended}

Install Ubuntu or Debian

Either

Install the android-sdk.

dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86-20130717.zip

<==x86

dl.google.com/android/adt/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20130717.zip

<==x86_64

or

Just get the standalone adb and fastboot executables

texasice-cream-sandwich-mirror.googlecode.com/files/adb_fastboot.zip

​

Install ia32-libs

Run this in a terminal

sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 lib32gcc1 lib32ncurses5

Now download the files required for root and put it in the same folder as adb

mir.cr/GDEPZT4V​

After you finish installing the files,

Connect your device with debugging mode enabled

Run

cd path/to/adb

where "path/to/adb" is the directory of your adb file

Now run

sudo chmod a+x adb
sudo chmod a+x fastboot

>>Root

./adb devices
./adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/
./adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
./adb push su /data/local/tmp/
./adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp/
./adb shell

Chmod and run the exploit under adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp/
chmod 755 psneuter
./psneuter

Now re-engage an adb shell to check if the exploit worked.

./adb kill-server
./adb devices
./adb shell

If you see a # sign, the exploit was was successful. Otherwise repeat from >>Root

Now run these on the same adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp
./busybox ash
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
cp /data/local/tmp/su /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
cp /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 777 /system/app/Superuser.apk
cp /data/local/tmp/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/busybox

Now reboot your device and open up SuperSU. Let it update the binary.

Your device should be rooted. :)
​

2. Use Windows + Moborobo

Method 1 {Recommended but hard}

Download Moborobo from

moborobo.com

This software can Install drivers for many china phones and other branded phones.

After installing Moborobo download the files required for root

mir.cr/GDEPZT4V

Extract the files to the installation directory of Moborobo.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Moborobo

Run a CMD window under that directory and type

xcopy AndroidInterface.exe adb.exe

Connect your device in debugging mode & Open up Moborobo, It will install the drivers.

Keep Moborobo open & Follow the instructions mentioned in >>Root

P.S- the linux commands begin with a "./" remove this in windows or else it won't work. Note: Wherever I mentioned a terminal, the windows equivalent to this would be cmd​

Method 2 {Easier}

Download and Install Moborobo just like above and run this under a cmd on that folder

xcopy AndroidInterface.exe adb.exe

Also download UnlockRoot or SuperOneClick

To make sure the adb files are of the same version, Copy over

adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll

to UnlockRoot's tools directory or SOC's ADB directory

Connect your device in debugging mode and open up moborobo.

Now keep Moborobo open and Run UnlockRoot or SOC. :)​

Good Luck :good:

Hi,

Yesterday I was on my Xperia Play - because we were on a day out.

However, and the my surprise, we weren't even halfway there (to the destination which was a 1 hour journey) where my battery went from 100% to around 40% with only occasionally use and using my data. Then, once I was there, my battery (without even using it!) went from 40% to around 20%. Once I finally got home, using things like turning off WIFI and data, lowing the screen brightness and turning off GPS - I only had 4% battery left!

Is it normal for my battery to only last 10 hours - even though I'm not a heavy user!

(My friend's iPhone still had around 60% after doing the same things I did!)

Has anyone found a hack to increase the speaker volume when holding the JAM to your ear. My hearing is not good at all...remember when mom used to say "turn that music down, you'll go deaf" turns out the old girl was right. ;)

The volume on the JAM seems even lower to me since doing the latest ROM update. There must be a registry setting to increase the volume. I've not seen anything that jumps out, but I'm willing to bet that there is a way.

hi paragon,

I fully support your criticism about the poor audio level at max setting. There must be sufficient potential in increasing the audio level since there is the loudspeaker function available.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
Unfortunately it's generally considered that it's not possible to activate speakerphone programmatically, which will mean that automatically switching to speakerphone isn't going to help too much.

I tried setting up a profile to turn the volume down to a reasonable level, and then activate speakerphone and use that as the earpiece. That way the screen doesn't get sweaty and you've got better sound straight to the ear. However, some people on the other end of the line say the recieved sound isn't so great. I don't see why it should be any worse. Play around with AGC in the settings panel. Anyone else care to report on this idea?
