[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dej0e:
I have been using Nexus 4 for like 4 months now and I have stumbled across this weird problem.

The TTY Mode is always ON, no matter if I toggle it to TTY Off in Phone settings.

Removing the sim card and putting it back inside, at times, switch it back off but then after a reboot, it pops up back again.

I wonder what's wrong!

When I make calls, I can't hear anything through the earpiece and the volume buttons interchanged functions (volume up reduces volume and volume down increases volume).

I tried switching it to TTY VCO and TTY HCO, doesn't do anything.

I use the phone in India and the phone was bought from the US. Help!

hi guys,

I have used the torpedo method on the photon 4g - made sure all the commands are executed.

Just FYI, here is what my /system/bin looks like

-rwsrwxr-x root root 26264 2013-08-01 13:26 su

however, running su gives me permission denied. I even tried "chmod g+s /system/bin/su" and "chmod a+s /system/bin/su" but nothing works.

Does anybody know what to do ?

In essence it allows you to put shortcuts to widgets on it your home screen. When selected the widget appears with an attractive animation.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bratboo:
Hi!

Can I ask what is "no context file" or was it "no file_contexts" when I reboot to recovery? Do you guys have this warning on CM 10.1 as well when in recovery mode? This warning doesn't show on TW based kernel.

I tried flashing JellybeerROM from a fresh install then after I reboot to recovery I saw this text under "warning no context_file" then re flashed to TW based ROM and tried latest CM10.1 nightlies and this warning text still exist. On latest PA rom this warning isn't there.

Is this safe or do I need to avoid something or do something about it? Anyways I went back to TW based ROM for the meantime. Hope someone could answer me if I can just ignore this warning text.

Many Thanks!

Besides from Zone related releases, What are the differences on F/W?

I saw that roms and F/w are model depend on the model? And you cannot flash roms for 6503 for 6502 ?

My phone is a 6502 so just want to make sure!
[Sony Xperia ZL] yamen-1991:
The only thing that I know is c6503 and c6506 works on 4G networks LTE

But c6502 is not a 4G compatible...

I know also that c6506 is much more expensive and not available widely in every country... But why? We will see other's response ;)
[Sony Xperia ZL] TheTofu:
There's two differences between the C6502, C6503, and C6506. What network frequencies they support is the main difference, with the second difference being that the C6502 has a barometer and the C6503 and C6506 don't.

C6502: UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV),

1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I)

GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900

C6503: UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 2100 (Band I)

GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900

LTE Band I, Band III, Band V, Band VII, Band VIII and Band XX

C6506: UMTS HSPA+ 850 (Band V), 900 (Band VIII), 1700 (Band IV),

1900 (Band II), 2100 (Band I)

GSM GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900

LTE Band I, Band II, Band IV, Band V and Band XVII

In terms of price, the C6506 is about the same as the C6503 in america, whereas the C6502 is about $50 cheaper, the reason being that the other two have LTE, which presumably costs more to implement what with licensing fees and whatnot.

Now, the main reason you can't flash C650* specific firmware is because, as far as I know, each phone has a different chip for network radios, plus the C6502 has a barometer.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dj_richard05:
I am currently using the latest firmware 10.3.1.A.0.244 that I downloaded from cad yesterday which was c6503 specific and flashed it on my c6502. Everything works like a charm :)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodSlayer:
I flashed Philz recovery using Mobile Odin. It rebooted and got me to the recovery, but it didn't stay there. I rebooted and there was no custom recovery.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esgie:
Some roms are injecting the default recovery every boot. It's something with preload partition or something.

All in all, the easiest way to flash recovery is to use dd command from terminal emulator plus it does not increase a flash counter.

su

dd if=/sdcard/filenam.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6

Don't mess up the last digit or you'll flash the wrong partition = brick.

Common Commands used in Linux.

Since, Android is based on Linux, there is much possibility that there is a need to use a Linux based OS. For such use, UBUNTU

is favoured, for its easy and more user friendly.

Today, I am going to Post a few commands that are very useful to the newbies to development :D

I myself am new, and have faced many problems with this, so I am posting a this thread, to help all the noobs/newbies find what they need in a single place :D

Okay so, lets start with some basic commands, which can be classified as general commands, and each Linux user MUST KNOW ALL OF THEM !!

sudo

It simply means "Superuser do". It requires password.

sudo apt-get install APPLICATION_name

This installs the application finding it on the internet, and gives you the suitable output(If the app exists or not).

sudo apt-get remove APPLICATION_name

It Removes the application

sudo apt-get update

it updates the repositories

sudo apt-get upgrade

upgrades your installed application with their latest versions from Ubuntu repositories

killall APPLICATION_NAME

kills (terminates) an application

ps -e

displays currently running processes

kill APPLICATION_PID

kills an application; where APPLICATION_PID.

NOTE: YOU CAN FIND "PID" USING EARLIER CODE.

wget http://path_to_file.com

downloads a file from the web to current directory

cd /PATH/TO/DIR

changes current directory to DIR. Use cd to change the current directory into any dir

cd ..

Like ms-dos, goes up one directory

dir

OR

ls

lists directory content

man COMMAND

Displays manual for command.

eg: man sudo

cp ORIGINALFILE NEWFILE

Copy a file

mv SOURCE DESTINATION

Moves a file

NOTE: YOU CAN ALSO RENAME A FILE WITH THIS.

EG: mv old_filename new_filename

mkdir FOLDERNAME

Make a directory/folder

Miscellaneous: Level 2

du -sh folder name

This calculates the size of the folder

ps -aux

This shows all the running processes

chown -R User:User dir

Change owner of files and directories

chmod 777 yourScript

This makes a shell script ".sh" extension

netstat -anltp | grep "LISTEN"

See all open ports on your machine

sudo apt-get install ufw
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
sudo ufw allow 21/tcp
sudo ufw enable

Ubuntu provides a uncomplicated firewall (ufw). To install it and only allow SSH, FTP, and webtraffic use the following command.

Network Commands

ifconfig

Shows the network connections

WILL UPDATE REGULARLY AS MUCH I COULD.
[General Topics] S0AndS0:
passwd

Run after installing Linux when you see "root@localhost:~$" to set your root pass word

adduser

Replace and run to add a new user

adduser sudo

Replace and run to add that user to sudo

sudo apt-get purge

Replace and run to purge your system of that package

apt-cache search

Replace and run to search for new packages to install

Note: "wild cards" eg "*" are acceptable

find -type f -iname 'some-compressed-file*' -print0 | xargs -0 sudo tar -vxpzf

Replace with at least the "root" directory you want to search through and Replace " some-compressed-file " (leave the single quotes ' ' and the wild card *) and run to find every file under the given directory that has that name and the pipe " | " it out to tar so that'll extract to your current directory

Note: "find" does the finding, the "-type -f" tells find to only look for files, the "-iname" tells find to search parts of file names, the ' ' around "some-compressed-file" keeps the * from doing bad things, the "print0" tells find to "scrub" for spaces and such before outputting a result, the " | " pipes the results of find to xargs, the "-0" is because of "print0" in the find side of the pipe, and "sudo tar - vxpzf" is where tar extracts the findings of find.

find $HOME -type f -iname '*zip' -print0 | xargs -0 ls

Run to find and list every zip file under the home folder

Say you want to make a file to contain some notes wile in the command line

sudo cat > $HOME/someNotes.txt <<EOF
# place a command here
echo "hello world, I update aptget"
sudo apt-get update -q
EOF

Try editing the part after $HOME; type it in or write a file that contains the combo of " cat > $HOME/someNotes.txt <<EOF " some text or commands " EOF " and you'll find making custom scripts of varying complexity to be easy.

.......

Hope some of these are also found to be useful for others.

Thanks for starting this here thread.

Useful variations of ls command :

Show dir content in a list

ls -l

Show dir content in a list sorted by modification time (newer first)

ls -lt

Show dir content in a list sorted by modification time (older first)

ls -lrt

Show subdirectories recursively

ls -R

If you want to show files starting with . (hidden file), you can add -a option.

More options with command :

man ls

Useful variations of grep command :

grep is used to print lines matching a pattern.

Find the entry for current user in file /etc/passwd :

cat /etc/passwd | grep $USER

Find all the entry except current user entry in file /etc/passwd :

cat /etc/passwd | grep -v $USER

Find all the numbers in file /etc/passwd :

cat /etc/passwd|grep '[0-9]*'

Add color to grep command :

cat /etc/passwd | grep --color $USER

(You can add

Create archive_name.tar from dirname :

tar cvf archive_name.tar dirname/

Create archive_name.tar.gz (compressed) from dirname :

tar zcvf archive_name.tar.gz dirname/

Extract archive_name.tar.gz :

tar zxvf archive_name.tar.gz

Useful variations of mkdir command :

mkdir /tmp/test_a
cd !$ (equivalent cd /tmp/test_a)

or,

mv /tmp/a /tmp/b
ls !$ (equivalent ls /tmp/b)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tedmm:
My 6 year old son threw a tantrum today and destroyed my SGH-1337m's LCD. I'd like to replace it with a Google Edition S4, but I'm having a hell of a time getting to the US google play devices website. I live in Canada and somehow Google manages to detect that I'm not from the US. I have a US credit card available and I can get it shipped to a US address - I just need to be able to order the damn thing and for that I need the US Play store to think I'm in the US. But I'm having a hell of a time tricking it into believing that.

First, I tried signing out of my gmail/google account and creating a new one with 'US' as the country. No good. I still get the "Unavailable in your country" web page.

Fair enough - they're doing IP tracking, I guess, right? So I tried connecting to play.google.com through a VPN into San Francisco. This is a VPN connection that has never failed to spoof a service or website into thinking that I'm in the US. Hulu, Netflix, whatever. And yet Google still tells me that the site is "Unavailable in your country".

Someone suggested that it might be that Chrome itself is somehow tipping play.google.com off, so I tried Safari and I tried Chrome in incognito mode. No good. The GE S4 is still "Unavailable in your country".

I think to myself that this is getting kind of crazy and I look around the net for more suggestions. Someone in a stackexchange post suggests that Google is figuring this out by IP-locating not just the request that your https request came in over, but also the DNS request for play.google.com itself?

I noticed that play.google.com is just a CNAME for www3.l.google.com. When I dig for the IP address in Canada, I get play.google.com resolved to a range of addresses from 74.125.225.193 - 74.125.225.206. When I look up the DNS from the US using a website DNS lookup tool, however, play.google.com resolves to a range of addresses from 173.194.46.0 - 173.194.46.14. AHA!

So I edit my /etc/hosts file so that play.google.com always resolves to 173.194.46.0. And yet somehow, the US Google Play devices store and in it the Google Edition Galaxy S4 is still "Unavailable in your country".

Does anyone have anymore ideas?

:confused:

If you can get it shipped to an address in the US, have that person order it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tedmm:
Alas, I'm ordering it myself. I'm getting it shipped to Hagen's of Blaine (which is a shipping company). I live in Vancouver so I can drive over to pick it up when it arrives. And for the credit card I'm using entropay.

At this point I could probably just order a vm on a hosting service like Azure and pay from an RDP session to the VM - that would be fool-proof. But I'm really interested now in how Google is figuring out that I'm not in the U.S. Accessing their US IP addresses from an incognito window going through a VPN that's spilling my packets into the internet in San Fran should really be sufficient. But somehow they're still catching me.

I guess this is why they get paid the big bucks. :)
