Hi Guys,

Does anyone have a clue how the new N7 messures the battery level?

I mean, does it use the old ways through the battery stats file or like the Galaxy S3 with a chip measuring the voltage?

This would be very useful the know while flashing.

Cheers

Hi, yesterday I installed link2sd app and removed an app called Samsung homepage or something like that. That app is the desktop of my mobile.

Now I can't go to menus, or my desktop... Well, now I can't do anything!! How can i solve this problem?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frtlr:
Hi there,

My friend has a I9100 international model which is never been modified. This week it starts to loop in S2 logo and never go forward. As i saw from his gmail account that his contacts are never been synced and stored locally. He also has some recordings in internal storage. I can access to recovery mode but not tried wipe options aince it is possible to lost all data forever. Since usb debugging is not selected i can not access to phone with adb.

I made many googling but could not find a proper answer.

Is it possible to retreive contacts and recordings?

Does wipe will remove all user data including contacts and recordings?

Will wiping make the phone to boot normally.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmze:
If you wipe user data then yes, but there are the following wiping/clearing options available:

wipe data/factory reset - this deletes all user data

wipe cache partition - generally - what you have isnstalled from Google Play

wipe dalvik cache - which is a virtual machine cache

You can try fixing permissions - if something went wrong with that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Yes. Here's how:

1. Root it and flash CWM recovery

2. Enter CWM recovery and make a nandroid backup.

3. Mount as USB Storage in CWM.

4. Connect to a PC.

5. Copy nandroid backup and the recordings in the internal memory.

6. Extract contacts from nandroid backup (should be /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db)

7. Do a full wipe or flash a stock rom to exit the bootloop.

8. Root phone again if needed.

9. Using a root explorer, replace contacts2.db and set permissions.

10. Reboot.

Yes, it will remove your contacts. But it will not delete your recordings, or any other media files.

It should boot normally after a full wipe. if it doesn't, you would have to flash a stock ROM. :good:

From what people have posted here, the Verizon HTC One will only come in Silver.

I was wondering if there was a way change the body color of the phone after I purchase it? I was thinking I might be able to purchase the black case of the phone, take apart the Silver HTC One and then put it back together with the black parts, creating a black Verizon HTC One. Is this something that could work?

from what i've read, the speaker grilles on the front of the phone are glued on pretty tough- so those would be hard to get off. there is a breakdown from an XDA member in either the TMobile One or the One General forums, and i believe that he said it isn't too hard to take the back off.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] samveen:
After hunting around and not finding any dynamically linked Bash executable created using the NDK, I (as usual) decided to do it myself.

Here I give you dynamically linked bash 4.2 compiled using Crystax NDK r8, along with patches from http://dan.drown.org/android/src/bash/. The process to build it is documented on this page. The API version used was Android-8 (Froyo and upwards) and the toolchain used was gcc-4.7.

To use, place in any location where executables can run from (eg. /data/local/tmp or /data/data/jackpal.androidterm/app_HOME), gunzip it

gunzip bash.gz

, change permissions

chmod 755 bash

and run.

Please note that if you run it without root, it will give the following error message intermittently:

chdir: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied

This is because without root access, "/data" is inaccessible (Default permissions 771 with owner:group as "system:system").

As alternatives, there are statically linked bash binaries available from multiple sources, for example this by mzet.

Thanks for this!

I've been so pissed at Verizon for taking so long to offer this phone, that I was contemplating waiting and getting from Amazon or, you know,

else.

But, $50 off on Day 1 and getting to [FINALLY] have it in my hot little hands today??? Too alluring. :)

Thanks for sharing. --xari.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] crazyg0od33:
no problem! I still need to wait till tomorrow :(

I am in disney on vacation, and I was going to go to a vzw store down the road for in store pickup, but because my billing address is in NJ, they wouldnt let me buy it. I said, screw you vzw, I'll wait a day and pay less. Also, amazon is still $200 unless you make a new line, so it's pretty much all the same. Now all I need to get is the squaretrade warranty for $99 on amazon tomorrow and I'm set!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] josh995:
I'm not 100% sure but I'm going to guess no. :-/

The cool thing though is you can do it online, and select to pickup at a Verizon store. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
I did it last night and selected in-store pick up. Then, I learn of this promo code this morning. I called VZW customer service and they told me I'd have to try to apply the coupon in store.

I asked if I can just cancel the order and I'd redo it but apparently I have to cancel in-store too. Makes no sense to me but I'll find out in 40 mins when the store opens.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] eleazar123:
Could you also ask them if there is any way to get the discount off the retail price of the phone? :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
Will do! I'll report back from the One hopefully!

For $50, I have no problem cancelling in-store and redoing it online and waiting the extra time for everything to process.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] crazyg0od33:
the people I was chatting with said no way to do it in store, which is why I have to wait an extra day until I'm home. But definitely let us know!

My local vzw was beyond rude to me on the phone when i called for info on the stock of the phone, I'm trying to get them to waive the upgrade fee or something.

We'll see
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] SubliminalME:
Good luck with that. That fee is a tough one...I've yet to hear of anyone getting it waived.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] karn101:
Cancelling the order over the phone now with the store since they can't add the promo code. They aren't sure if they can cancel it though; as per VZW's site, the order automatically cancels if you don't pick it up within 4 days. Hoping I don't need to go that route.

Also, no-go on that coupon for full retail at the store.

EDIT: Nope, they can't cancel. Have to wait four days. Time is money, and I'll just eat the $50. An hour of overtime will cover that!

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] xari228:
I had used the code successfully online and selected in-store pick-up, but when I got there, the code didn't come up in their system!

Fortunately, I had taken a print-out with me (showing the discounted price) and when they asked where I'd found the code, I pulled up this thread in our forum(:)) to show them, so they were very nice about it and honored it. [Again, YMMV.]

I was polite throughout (which I'm sure helped) and then thanked them several times.

Good luck everyone. She sure is a beauty! :D

did anyone have to pay tax in stores? If paid online I don't see tax on the total amount.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcardona1:
I'm in CA too. I think it's because I used two codes on my order:

FIFTYRMN and VERIZON30 and it came out to $139.99

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] pjd2011:
I got into it with a guy at my local store about the code. Said it was against policy because it wasn't advertised. The usual BS. I told him I'll see him real soon. Did the in store pickup and got the email it was ready in less than half hour. Went back in and the guy was just silent and set it up.

The code worked but after the $30 upgrade fee and tax it was $192. Still saved, though!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Mikes30000:
I got it to work. Used Verizon30 code for $60 off! I had to go into my family account and switch to a family share plan and lose my unlimited data (prepared to do this anyway). Once account changed I was able to upgrade my phone with the promo code and final price was $182 after tax. Picking up tomorrow.

hey did you place the order online for yours for store pickup or used the coupon in stores?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] raichur0xx0rz:
You were able to enter in two codes? VERIZON30 takes the device down to 139.99. Whenever I try to enter in two codes, the second one just overwrites the first one.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] jcardona1:
Yeah online. But it wouldn't let me do instore pickup. Some folks were saying the codes wouldn't let do that. So I opted for shipping. But now that it's here, HTC unlocking doesn't work. DOH!

Yup, both codes worked for me. I got the phone by adding a new line to keep unlimited data.

since I'm new in developing apps,I have a request.

I work in a sale store as an IT salesman,and I have lots of tablets and phones exposed on a stand...I wanna create an app that keeps the display always on,and which shows a little presentation of our store,like the Retail Mode application the one Samsung has (http://retailsamsung.com)

Something like

- a presentation,and when you touch the screen,you can use the tablet normaly,but when the screen is off,the presentation should start by itself.

I would really apreciate some help :).Thank you

(I know this isn't the place to post this,but didn't know where to.so if a mod can guide me to the right topic or something,it would be great)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] someone755:
First: this should be in the Android development and hacking section.

Second: I say, make a video for your store and play it on every device with Repeat: ON. You don't need an app for that. :P

But then again, every device I've had in my hand has a 'store demo' app installed. Look into that, might come in handy :3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Switiz:
thx.I used an video as a presentation,but ppl keep closing the video and tested the tablet,and when they were done,I had to start the video again.and trust me it's not easy to do that 32438 a day on 57 tablets and phones....that's why I wanted an app that started by itself.

I'm gonna look on other apps,but I'm not that good :(

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] xclub_101:
Also a very similar and IMHO simpler method is to use ADB with a very similar command line (it is also much simpler since you will be typing on your computer on presumably a normal keyboard and big screen).

To do that in ADB you need to have USB debugging enabled in your ROM (and very likely you need to be rooted). But even simpler/nicer is to actually use ADB with a smarter recovery (I am using Philz on my i9300) - in those ADB is enabled and you are rooted by default :)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] newsboost:
I don't understand you. Why do you think my questions are not for the I9305?

I have

NOT

- I repeat:

NOT

edited anything in my original post, but as you can see the original post was in the wrong location and it was then moved to the correct location where it is now. I have no idea why you think my questions are not about the I9305 ?

Ok, now I think maybe I can guess what you mean:

The first question I ask is not very clear, agreed. I write: I think it's unclear how I exactly get these 4 backup files aka "partition backup of the efs folders" + "I don't really see any headlines regarding "partition backup of the efs folders"? " - so sorry about that. But my first question is: What do I do now, because the instructions seems unclear?

The next 4 questions are actually also for the I9305. Maybe you think this shouldn't work on the I9305 but AFAICS I would guess all the mentioned methods are valid on the I9305. Maybe you don't know the answer then - that's fair. My problem is that I haven't made my EFS backup yet, because I wanted to hear you guys first. I write that I'm stuck because the instructions are unclear to me and then I searched the forum for alternative methods. Am I supposed to use the "new EFS Professional v2.0" program and is this the recommended method for EFS backup on the I9305?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] newsboost:
Ok, so you agree with my theory that all the mentioned methods are equally good and basically no method is better/worser than the others as long as you have a backup on your pc harddisk?

I think you understood the questions correctly - thank you very much for that. This implies that I can use all methods and there's no difference and nothing is "recommended" in favor of other methods, is this correct? I've never bricked my phone, so I'm a bit unsure here...

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] newsboost:
Sorry, but I don't understand you. You only linked to a page which I already linked to and you didn't write any explanation or anything. I then explain that I already linked to this page - this page is what my 4 questions are about and I'm asking about how to proceed with making the EFS backup, because I think the page is unclear. I ask which tool is recommended. I ask what you are trying to say with the same link to the same page I already linked to?

I also wrote that I did all the steps except doing the EFS backup - did you read that? At least I don't understand your answer, because I don't think your reply answers any of the 4 questions about EFS backup. Then you deleted your link again (which I already posted to in the first place) and you write that you "give up" - sorry, but I don't understand a word of that. I'm very sorry - not trying to be rude or anything, but I don't have a clue about what you tried to say.

Another problem which I forgot to state earlier is that when I run the program "EFS Professional 2.0.68" I get this message:

This makes me afraid of making the EFS backup using this tool and this is also why I ask these 4 questions, before I actually do the EFS backup... Again: Not trying to be rude - so if I'm a noob, asking noob questions or something. I had the I9000 for 2 years and never really had any problems, forgot how I rooted the phone and how I made EFS backup. Now I get this "busybox"-warning, which I don't like... If I try to backup using this tool I use the "Backup"-tab + under "Backup Options" + "Device Filter" I select "*** All Partitions ***" and then I get:

What now? The program hangs and nothing happens and I have to kill it - this made me post the 4 questions in the top. Sorry that I didn't give these details before now - now you got the whole situation I'm in and the background for my questions...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] newsboost:
Preliminary answers to unclear instructions (I edited this post and add the busybox question to the EFS-thread where I think it belongs):

Answer 1: xclub_101 proposed ADB and/or Philz? I haven't tried this yet - not sure if I want to try it.

Answer 2: I would like to hear other opinions.

Answer 3: I don't understand it - using the "root explorer"-method provides a backup of /efs around 2-300 KB. I then tried the "Samsung Galaxy S3 ToolKit" - it produces "efs.img" around 20.480 KB + efs.tar: 205 KB. The "terminal emulator-strategy" gives also a 20.480 KB efs.img-file, but not exactly the same size as the one produced by "Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit". So I must conclude that not all applications/methods produce the same /efs-backup. This is pretty weird, I think...?

Answer 4: Now I have a backup using 3 different "strategies"/methods. By the way, I found out ktool is only for I9300 - weird in my opinion because the /efs folder is the same on both I9300 and I9305 and both the 20.480 KB files are produced using commands that work on other phones than the I9305 too...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] xclub_101:
All methods are very similar indeed - the only thing that you need to keep in mind is HOW you are going to restore the backup if things really go bad.

The "partition physical image" (with dd or similar) is IMHO simpler under all "normal" circumstances (and it might also hold older deleted files that other methods might not even see) but results in a slightly larger file. The only drawback that I see is if somehow you get bad sectors just in the middle of the memory for that partition - but as far as I know that is not really possible with modern NAND setups that have wear-leveling incorporated in their firmware.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] newsboost:
Thank you very much - I'm almost satisfied and relaxed now ;)

I'm very happy with the "dd"-method, because it produces a file around 20 MB - the bigger the better, IMHO - better backup too much than too little! :D

If something happens to my phone, e.g. the /efs-partition gets corrupt, can I always expect that I can boot up the phone, put the backup on my external SD-card and start up a terminal emulator program and then use the "dd"-method to restore /efs? Or should I use the ADB-commands (not exactly sure how to do it). Most important: I have the impression that my two 20 MB backups are fine...
