Hi Doc, can you help me with the same problem?

I bought a T999 and it is unlocked because I can use other SIM cards but only on GPRS, not 3G. And also don't have data. Access point name is correct. Today i checked IMEI and it displays just /12 instead of the long number. :confused:

I don't really know how the IMEI was lost but i have tried flashing the firmware via ODIN and still the same. No IMEI.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Check swappa, and other sites and call T-Mobile to see if the imei is blacklisted.

Also, what is your firmware and baseband version?

Hi, this is my first post here. I'm not sure if its in the right section but if it isn't can a mod please move it.

My Girlfriend picked up a tab sometime ago last year for convenience at school and light internet usage but as of recently it has developed a problem.

The battery drains very fast, within like 5 minutes after being unplugged from the charger. While on the charger it will reach 100% and stay there but as soon as its unplugged it starts dropping drastically. The model is a Maxwest Tab - 9100.

If anyone can shed any light on the matter it will be nice.

Thanks, Lyn.

Hi guys.

I flashed a Paranoid Droid ROM on my HTC One recently and I've been loving it so far.

However the speakers are no where near as good as they were on stock.

Is this because I've lost the "Beats" technology?

And is there a way I can flash something like this back on to my current custom ROM to restore the amazing sound quality these speakers are capable of?

Thanks for any help!

I don't use any of the sound mods since I'm on a sense based ROM, you'll have to try them out. I've been using insert coin for about three months now, and I've never felt the need to use anything else. ARHD is also pretty popular. Just try the different options and pick what works for you. Some Roms have options to de-sense without going to a full AOSP ROM.

IS it possible to flash roms like the new official cm10.1 which is made for the e975, but instead onto my canadian e971? the only difference between the two phones is the frequency used for lte, so it shouldnt be a problem right? im bored of the few canadian roms available for this phone on xda, and im looking to flash some of the e975 roms,
[LG Optimus G (International)] ronasimi:
The E975 has a 13 MP camera, so your rear camera won't work on an E971 if you flash a ROM for the E975. OTOH, you can use ROMs from the E970 (AT&T LGOG) and the only thing you are likely to lose would be your green notification LED. I'm running dvhexer's alternate CM 10.1 build for the E970 as my daily driver. He even included E971/E973 LED support in the 7/13 build.

Hi,

Good day

I'm looking for an android app which is basically a NOTIFIER that is always on top of any running applications

(like Floating Notification, GO Toucher etc) but what I am specifically looking for is a function that:

For example - I am playing games, when someone SMS/FB Chat/Email/IMO etc... me, it pops up on my current screen then what I want is I can directly reply WITHOUT closing or alt-tabbing the game. Hope it is clear enough.

I don't know what search tag should I use because typing "pop up notifier" seems too broad or it does not have what I am looking for.

Hope you can help me

Thanks!

I am using Galaxy S3 Omega ROM v45 if you must know.

Hi heslo,

This is a very useful info.

But you know, if its an APP pre-loaded in Paranoid ROM, I think I can extract that and install in mine?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henslo:
Don't think it will work with stock type ROM. Installing another ROM is not hard to do Lol. Just remember to wipe data/system/cache/dalvik cache. Once you install a Paranoid Android or any other AOSP/AOKP ROM you will like it much more. Halo is a great app, plus all the other great features.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] implodeme:
It used to be the market would separate apps that were approved for auto update from those that had disabled auto update set. One could then simply hit the Update All (for the group) button and it would update ONLY the apps that were auto update enabled. Over the past few months Play Store has changed their behavior in that it no longer separates the apps and will only enable auto updates for everything or nothing.

How can I hide or otherwise prevent these few apps that I do not want to update from being in the play store update list? As it is now, I have to selectively update each individual app from the list, skipping the few apps I do not want updated.

Thanks,

Currently on a Samsung GS3, rooted, stock.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParishM:
did you ever find a solution to this ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] implodeme:
Actually yes,... I think. I'd suggest making backups of your apps (TitaniumBU or other).

Open Play Store

Menu: Settings

Enable Auto Updates (Mine is set to when on WIFI only)

Go back to main Play store page.

Menu: My Apps

Under Installed, locate any app that you wish to change and select it, this opens the App Details page.

Menu: Auto-update untick the checkbox.

Still trying to confirm this condition: Seems that if you manually update an app that is not set to auto-update, it will possibly reset the auto-update flag to 'Enabled'
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greg T Pal:
Hi!

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I am kind of fighting with a similar issue, my problem is,

the apps I don't want to auto update are google apps(Keep/Youtube/Gtalk), which are replaced

by black counterparts from Team Blackout(with exception of Gtalk, I just don't like Hangouts)

and of course there is no "disable auto update" option with google system apps.

As of this date, I can see no valid option for selectively update the installed app catalogue, this

might be a decision from Google's part to push out the obsolete apps by force, which is understandable,

but I think there should be an option to have this feature.

Now at this point I am updating the apps manually app by app, and of course

with about 200 plus apps installed a complete PITA.

Thanks for any answers at this point, and this is my first post here btw, please be kind.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedlever:
I found this thread looking for a way to selectively disable auto-update. I found that by going to the Play Store on my phone (under settings, I already had auto update on wifi only enabled), selecting apps/my apps, then choosing a specific app, then touching the soft menu key brings up a checkbox for auto -update. Uncheck to disable auto-update. This works for Google apps too like Hangouts, GMail (2 apps that I checked), etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DLCPhoto:
Up until a day or two ago, I found the same thing - I could hit the soft menu button in the Play Store, and there would be an option to check or uncheck Auto-Update for that specific App. But I just checked again, wanting to take advantage of that, and it didn't come up any more.

Can anybody confirm that this functionality is gone again?

I'm on Verizon, with a Stock 4.2.2 Galaxy Note 3, non-rooted.

Thanks.

ETA: I rebooted my phone, and the ability to check/uncheck auto-update with the soft menu is back. Strange, but at least it's there again.

Disable updates for specific app - COMPLETLY

Hello,

I have Google Maps 7.5.0 installed, therefore it's listed in "Updates" all the time.

Is there a way to disable the listing of Google Maps in "Updates"?

I don't think you can disable that display in Google Play. It knows what apps you have and will let you know when there is an update for them, whether you want to know or not! The main thing is that you can generally decide whether you want the update or not. I prefer it that way. It gives me a choice.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krmtvm:
Disable update method

I think I have found the simple answer:

1. In Google Play Store settings enable all applications to update automatically on wi-fi.

2. Next, individually click each of the apps you do not want to update automatically. On each app's update page, there is a menu button on the top right corner. Click it and deselect auto update for that app.

Now all these disabled apps will not auto update along with the other generally permitted apps.

Cheers.

This recipe works, but it should be pointed out that the steps must take place in the Google Play **app** and not in the Google Play web interface.

Remove Update Eligibility

If I'm understanding properly you only want the black counterparts updated by Team Blackout. You wish to not be eligible or receive constant notice of update. This worked perfect for me but I didn't use it on a system google app just on a file manager I wanted the version frozen for. You need the .apk's for the blackout apps you use. You need to backup with Titanium the apps you're going to remove from play store's monitoring. Then get the app ZipSigner and sign the .apk's of the blackout apps with your own signature. ZipSigner also comes with signatures. Then uninstall the apps (remember you've taken a Titanium backup) and re-install with the custom signed apps. Now go to Titanium and restore the data (data only) for the blackout custom signed apps. Upon opening the app for the first time you'll probably get a notice telling you how to get an official version of the apps. For me I was never bugged by play store again. The app was identical and I could now just automatic update with play store all my other apps. Hopefully for system google apps the result will be exactly the same. If not then just restore from Titanium but do a full restore (apk and data). Best of Luck. The solution is mentioned a couple times in this thread, I was just more verbose. I've only ever posted a couple times so perhaps you can forgive whatever glaring errors you may find.

The easiest method that doesn't require root:

1. install an apk editor from play store

2. open it and select your apk. Choose "common edit". Change version name to a high number (ex: from 1.2.9 to 100.0)*. Hit save, wait for the processing to finish and install the app when prompted. Your source apk won't be permanently affected, that's why it's important to do it when prompted to install.

3. done.

*This way, it won't matter what version number the playstore will have, you'll have a bigger version number.

Only apps which you have installed from the google playstore will show up in the playstore list.

When you uninstall the app, and install it from another source (not Playstore) it will not show up in Google Playstore.

No root access needed to do so.

The other way, as already mentioned, is to resign the app and remove the playstore sign.

I think this should be possible with Lucky Patcher, or simular tools.

This method needs root access.

Another way, which I am using, is to delete you google account from the phone, clear data from the following apps: Playstore / GoogleAccountManager / PlayServices / and GoogleFramework. Then clone the system inkl. the installed apps (e.g. with OnlineNandroidBackup), and install it on the phone with another Google account.

This way none of the installed apps will appear in any playstore list until you once update, or install it manually from the playstore. ( the Playstore "thinks" that all the apps are installed from another source)

Needs root access.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Little Rooster:
hide apps from play store / exlude apps from play store update list

ps:

I have tested with LuckyPatcher (method 2). It works!

Do it like this:

Open LuckyP, choose App from list, tap "Menue with patches", tap "create modified APK", tap "new sign with test signature", a menue opens … tap "go to apk file", a menue opens … tap "install", tap "confirm", now an error message is appearing (because the original app is still installed), tap "yes". DONE!

This app will not show up in playstore updatelist anymore, (until you re-install it manually from the playstore).

Note: If you want to resign an app which is granted Admin rights, you must first disable the Admin rights before you can uninstall and install the resigned version.

Once again XDA comes up trumps, even after five years.

I've just updated BT Whole Home ( an excellent mesh network system), and BT have unanimously decided that it can't run on a rooted device? Say what? Who the hell do they think they are? Not even any warning - just an immediate "Won't run on a rooted device" and close. BT buy some great hardware, yet time and time again they foul it up by stupid and incompetent software implementation. I had to restore a two-day-old TWRP backup to recover a working version.

I was looking for a way to prevent app-specific updates. I knew about the overall no-auto-update option, and even the app-specific "Don't update", but frankly I don't trust them - since Whole Home continued to appear on the Play update list, I wasn't going to risk pushing the "update all" button.

So all kudos to [MENTION=4601239]cosma.m[/MENTION] for this Titanium idea, which works a treat. Another reason to spend the price of a coffee on a good app.
