[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] J2DaEf:
I got almost just the identical problem... However, I checked my phone and my IMEI number is still intact... yet im stuck on EDGE

story was that I brought my rooted S3 from ATT (but not unlocked) to China 2 weeks ago hoping to use the phone on China Mobile's network (though knowing that China Mobile doesnt support the same band for 3g/4g as the US).

It wasn't til after inserting the sim that I realized I havent unlocked the phone yet... and since ATT won't give me the unlock code, I ended up trying to use the *#197328640# method, which was unsuccessful because I was still on ICS and this method requires Jellybean.

So in a hurry I used odin to upgrade to a jellybean version that apparently wasn't compatible with my I747.

After taking to a local shop, the dude repairing my phone was able to get the OS running again but it was weird in that even with an ATT sim card the phone would ask for an unlock code.

So finally after doing the re-flash of the official ATT I747 Jellybean rom, I was able to get into the *#197328640# menu and unlock my phone using

the second method mentioned in here: http://www.wikihow.com/Unlock-Samsung-Galaxy-Siii-(S3)

I was happy to get it to work with China Mobile's sim even though I can only use EDGE over there, but I also realize the dreafully long wait time for the phone to get a signal from power on.

After coming back to the States today and inserting my original ATT sim card, I noticed that it still takes a long time for the phone to get a signal after power on and after it acquires the signal from ATT, Im only getting signal (feels almost like the phone is stuck in the international setting...)

I have tried to reflash to z999 rom with cwm, tried to reflash the modem firmware, nothing is working.

My IMEI is still showing up in the "status" under about this phone, and its the same number as it appears in the back of the phone...

but for some reason I feel like this might have something to do with the fiddling of the secret code menu during my unlock oversea... since I had to go into the UMTS menu (which I believe is for EDGE)...

Since my IMEI isnt lost... anyone have any ideas what could have been the problem? This is getting beyond frustrating... would really appreciate the help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
Per the subject, the application AutoStarts (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en), which can be used to disable apps that starts automatically (boot time, auto) no longer updated since 2011.

Moreover, it does not seem to work in JellyBean, as some apps I know starts in the background is not shown in the AutoStarts app.

I tried Gemini, but it doesn't tell me WHICH service is starting, so it can actually break the app.

Anyone have recommendation for AutoStarts replacement?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngbrod:
Try Disable Service https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice it receives timely updates and finds services a lot faster than AutoStarts.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lanwarrior:
I tried that, but like Gemini, it doesn't tell me which services are started during boot or auto start.

I actually had an issue with the app that it won't stay since I turned off all services. I then have to manually try it one by one to see which one is required for the app to function.

ROM Toolbox Pro does what you are looking for, plus lots more. I'm not sure if the lite version does it also.

Anyone genius ??

Why I see the same apps appearing muliple times in Autostarts ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] partyman66:
Does anyone know if you can Freeze the AutoStarts app after making changes to the system and it will still work, or does the AutoStarts app need to actively be running all the time to function?

I'm just basically asking if it's a process that always runs and monitors for these processes starting and stops them, or if it is just something that modifies some Android files and runtime parameters and triggers so that the blacklisted processes don't automatically start on their own in the various specified situations.

Can you be a bit specific about your device?and also make sure you search in the forum once..you can get anything there

Like I already said, I already looked through the forums for the combine MTK and android version but there is none. Also what specifications do you want me to post about the device?

First device name...and brother there is no android 4.0.5...its 4.0.4 ics and next is 4.1 jellybean
[General Questions and Answers] StwartMad:
Well according to the "build info" if you are talking about the device name as what would be found under "Device" then it is a hsdroid. And there is an Android 4.0.5. here is the display pic of my phone in the attach file
[General Questions and Answers] Dark Wraith:
Problem with such types of phones is that its difficult to find a proper rooting method for it as it is one of its kind and finding the drivers for it.Above all,Stock firmware for such phones is mostly not available.So in case something goes wrong and your device gets bricked,its hard to find the stock rom to flash again. Try this link,there are some root methods here,,,be careful...and try to install cwm on it if it gets rooted..once cwm is installed...make sure you make a recovery image of your phone and then i'd suggest you try to go for some custom roms for your phone..So that if something goes wrong while flashing a different rom you can restore your backup and try again..

[HTC Desire V] AMD_90:
Hello there,

first of all I tried searching for the topic I want but can't find anything similar to it. Anyhow, I am a new user and I bought the HTC Desire V just yesterday. It came with Android 4.0.3 but apparently there is an update which is 8 MB big. It's stock firmware, nothing rooted or anything. I try to update my system, it downloads, everything goes fine, it reaches the installing part. It goes till 1/2 of installation then gives me some weird red triangle icon with an exclamation mark on it (!) and then restarts, doesn't update. May I know the cause & solution to this? I am not ready to do any risky stuff with it since I have this phone temporarily only.

Thanks

P.S I am not sure whether it's a firmware update or just a security update because its size (8 mb) doesn't seem to be a firmware update... Anyway, please help me

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endrancer:
Hey, I've done a full wipe as well as return to stock, then proceed to install jwr66y from scratch, after installing i proceeded installing twrp and superuser, everything seems to run fine with root and all. The only thing which has been bothering me is that some apps are displaying force close error immediatly after starting them. Examples are Adaway, Adfree and Yelp.

Anyone knows what's going on there?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCDillon:
Same thing with me, some apps just crash immediately. I'm glad I made a backup before I installed. I installed the ota through a zip to preserve root/custom recovery and also just installing it normally. Same thing happens with crashes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endrancer:
Yeah i also installed though a Zip which was supposed to be vanilla with added busybox and root.

I had my nexus 7 running so i was backing up from there which fixed the problem. However i am really wondering why apps which were downloaded straight from google play messed around.

I hope they won't mess around later.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
I was completely stock and the same thing happened to me. I had to erase recovery, data and boot loader through fastboot and then reinstall everything new from the factory image on Google's site.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCDillon:
Oh wow. I had to do that with the initial 4.3 release. Don't think I'll do it for such a minor update unless I have a lot of free time. Though, the software update notification is in the way most of the time.. In surprised this isn't affecting more devices.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] d-d:
Hey yall. As the title says, I finally busted out my upgrade and went from a Gnex to a shiny new (RED!) HTC one.

Been living the dream recently with the Nexus. (So much development!!!). Since I'm new to the One, does anyone have any suggested favorite ROM's? Coming from the Nexus which is supported by just about every rom it seems like, I'm a bit worried the HTC one (especially since its CDMA and not GSM) will be quite lacking in development. So like I said, what do yall recommend?

I also have a few questions I was hoping could be answered.

- Has anyone tried the official CM10.2 nightlights yet and how are they?

- Haven't rooted yet. Hell, i haven't even unlocked the boot loader. But i read that in the unlock process it wipes the phone's data. I just finished setting everything up so this would be quite a bummer. So does it really? and is there any way around this? If not is there any decent non root backups? (I was considering looking into helium, thoughts?)

- I was always interested in the Paranoid Android Roms but never did try any of them out. I see the unofficial version of 3.97 available for this phone. How is it? any bugs or broken things? And any side effects of the rom being unofficial?

- Also just a general question. The aluminum sure is purdy but is it actually durable? I actually have a case on mine (first time EVER) because I'm so afraid of dropping it or of it getting scratched. Does the metal make the glass easier to crack? (generally speaking, the more brittle a thing is --> the less "give" that thing has ->- around the screen is metal --> does this mean easier to crack screen?)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
You're right. Compared to GSM phones, this one has less development. There's still plenty of stuff like PA, PAC, CM, AOKP, and a host of Sense ROMs, but there's gonna be a lot more in GSM.

There is a CM 10.2 thread. AFAIK, it's not bug free, but it's OK.

And I'm not sure if unlocking your bootloader wipes the phone. I don't remember. I remember Go backup was nice until they came up with a paid version. I've never really had any luck with non root back ups.

The black does scratch somewhat easily, so you're gonna want to be careful with the red. The phone is more durable than most, but if you're gonna be dropping it at all, I recommend a ~$4 clear TPU case. A completely transparent one that'll protect from drops and scratches.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Indirect:
for wiping your phone using an unlocked bootloader just back up your storage data then backup all of your apps and settings using:

adb backup -all -system -shared -apk -f Phonebackup.ab

then after you do all of it just use adb restore Phonebackup.ab
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Edde3d:
I just flashed the slim rom yesterday and seems to be running great. Android 4.3 and lots of features minus the bloat junk so makes it run pretty smooth. Id try that one in my personal opinion. As far as wiping the data i dont really remember even thought i just did it Sunday. I think it did but i could be wrong. Here is the link for slim beam rom below. Good luck and enjoy your phone

I have the original XDA-II and have an upgrade opportunity in a few days. I was thinking about going for the XDA-IIi. I was wondering about a few points and thought maybe people here might be able to help:

1) The camera has been upgraded quite a bit, can anybody supply me with a picture taken from the XDA-IIi so I can see the quality?

2) Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 2nd edition - Is this much different from the 1st edition on my XDA-II?

3) I am moving to the USA in jut under a year, I know that 1900MHz works in the USA. Can anybody tell me if there is an advantage to having 1800MHz (one that is available on the XDA-IIs)

4) Are there any plans for another XDA release soon? i.e. should I hang on for a few months to upgrade?

Thanks,

[General Topics] bryson:
hi,

I can comment as follows.

Wait for the xda EXEC (Universal/MDA4 other names) which is due out any time soon in the UK on carrier o2/Europe. Its a 3G phone, so may not offer the benefits/compatability in the USA over 'edge' etc. I suspect that the USA will realease a tweaked version to suit the carriers of edge.

The camera on the 2i is crap when compared to the 2. seriously. dont listen to anyone whom says different.

2003SE is nice, landscape mode etc, slightly slicker menus, but over all so little difference, again, wait for the EXEC (or MDA4 as its known in europe) Wifi on board is the only reason i got the 2i, and in some ways i wish i had stuck the the 2 and the wifi card, and saved some cash and waited for the exec.

Hope that helps, in a nutshell the 2i is so much the same as the 2 , i would wait for the exec/mda4.......

heres a link for a review, only differnce been that in the UK it will be known as the EXEC as mentioned above and will be in Black as is the 2s currently by o2.

Roll on the Exec!!! I'm upgrading early from the 2i to it, as well...

Does anyone have any idea of the approximate fine for upgrading early? Is there one? I'm on a staff account contract if that makes any difference.

The XDA Exec is massive its simply too big to be used as a phone anymore.

The Blue Angel is still the device to go for, 2s. Simply becasue it's smaller than the Exec, also has a qwerty keyboard, and will be getting a WM5.0 upgrade in the future. Camera quality is also better than the 2i.

also please dont hate on me for having windows 8 jk i dont care :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vono123:
I'd have to say that your drivers are all scrambled. Look up "android SDK" here on xda and install that for a bigger variety of drivers. Or just download Google's USB driver and manually install it through device manager which always works for me. Windows 8 is new and very complicated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apples723:
I will try this when I get home from school this afternoon but i have tried downloading android SDK(adb correct?) and then going into device manager and then going to downloads/adb/sdk/exstras/google/usb drivers and it never finds anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vono123:
Android SDK is installed in the main drive right? local disk c?

You have to click the folder (usb_driver) and then click update.

In the android sdk folder there should be and exe file called SDK manager. There you will be able to download all the drivers for your current android version also the latest Google drivers and SDK tools etc.

I was stuck on this process for a long time because it allways works different for everybody. Just keep me posted on what you do I'm more than glad to help.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apples723:
everything is up to date in the sdk manager do i need to reinstall it? also it still wont find the drivers i have atatched some png files take a look the picktures and it will show you the where the drivers are and what im selecting

EDIT****

I forgot to mention i tried it at school on a windows 8 computer and it worked fine its my crappy computer thats only five months old
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vono123:
So what exactly happens when you click update? What does it say?

Is your PC up to date? (update wise)

Do you have the the drivers for the phone itself like samsung drivers?

And did you try rebooting your PC after installing your drivers? <-- that is important. You should always reboot after install or uninstalling drivers otherwise you'll end up scrambling them.

From the pictures it shows you have the drivers but I'd also try going deeper than usb_driver, try clicking on i386 or amd64.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apples723:
i have the latest update from microsoft and yes i have the drivers for my phone itself and i rebooted a right after i installed the drivers and then unisntalled and i have gone into i386 and amd64 give me a second and i upload a picture of the error

OK make sure there are no HTC drivers on your PC. When you hook up your phone does USB storage work or anything like that?

Check those out and then I want you to go to Google, download pdanet latest version via pc (dont install yet) and go to the play store and install on your phone turn on USB debugging and the install non market apps and hook your phone up to the computer. Then install pdanet via PC and see if that works. HTC drivers get in the way of Samsung's BTW.
