[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowbutt:
A little history; my first Android phone was a HTC Hero back in 2010. That lasted for a couple of years, but a few rough edges, lack of Internal Storage, and being stuck on Android 2.1 meant I seized the opportunity to upgrade to what was, at the time, widely regarded as a super-phone that fixed all the problems I'd experienced with the Hero - the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Unfortunately, I've found it to be far more troublesome than the Hero; dozens of firmware bugs, regressions and some hardware bugs as well. Consequently, I'm extremely disinclined to give Samsung any more of my money, ever. The CyanogenMod port is permanently stuck on 'Nightly' status and seems to have problems remaining usable, in part due to Samsung (legal) withholding of source code and/or programming information from the CM devs.

I'm looking for recommendations for a suitable Android device to replace my SGS2. I like to carry around my music on an micro SD card, so I want an SD card slot. Due to the tendency for apps (even respectable ones like Opera) to go crazy and drain the battery, I also want a user-replaceable battery, so that I can keep a fully-charged spare with me and pop it in if I need longer airtime. I'd like to run something as close to stock Android as possible so as to get firmware updates and bug fixes as quickly as possible (e.g. a device favoured by CM devs might be acceptable). Not being much of a gamer, I don't think I care that much about performance, though I do install a large number (hundreds) of apps.

Google's Nexus phones are out because they don't believe in SD card slots or user-replaceable batteries. The Google Play Edition One and S4 (I know, Samsung) were looking interesting, but I'm not sure if they'll ever launch in the UK. I had an eye on the Archos Platinum 53/Karbonn Titanium S5 but it looks like their WiFi drivers are buggy (it's also taken longer than I expected for them to actually be available to buy).

Are there any current or forthcoming devices I've missed? Or am I fated to give up on Android and switch to a Nokia Windows Phone?

Hi,

Uninstall it, go to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, then install it again and then boot into recovery again before you try to use the keyboard; fix permissions, reboot.

See how it goes.
[HTC Sensation] mido_eng5:
how to uninstall and how to fix permissions ? :D

sorry i don't know so plz guide me in details.

oh.. where did you get it from? you can use Titanium Backup to uninstall system apps. :) then download the keyboard from Venom Hub.

and fixing permissions can be done through recovery

Hey guys,

My brother in law owns an Optimus 3D and he said that his screen went nuts and tried pattern lock on its own and locked it. Now the screen is asking for Google uid/pass but entering it doesn't unlock the screen. Can't really do factory reset because the phone contains loads of pictures which he is unwilling to part with.

I think it's still running GB and bought from Rogers Canada.

What can be done to unlock the device or at least retrieve the data on it? It's running stock everything.

Any help be great, thanks

Hey Guys ...

As already might know, the Motorola Razr D1 and D3 is unique to Brazil, and I live here ^^ (unfortunately :\ )

Finally, I have a D1 and D3 future, but by the lack of developers here in Brazil, we were deprived of some things, but mainly roms, locked bootloader ...

Yes, the Razr D1 and D3 have the bootloader locked, it hinders rather the work of those who want to create a rom, or even something you more .. now why I created this topic?

call for developers to try to unlock the bootloader with me, the hardware of both smartphones has great advantages, one single core 1ghz is excellent, and a dual core 1.2 ghz then? Our .. Finally, they both have good use of hardware, the performance ... and motorola postpones this and promised future upgrade to the next version of android .. switching to roms is better than expected ... is it
[RAZR i General] sky0165:
RAZR D3 uses an ARM Cortex A9 processor. You should search for some phones that uses this processor and see if there's any development going on.

There's a huge discrepancy between RAZR i and D3.

The biggest problem: D3 uses a MediaTek processor. Don't know about D1. MediaTek is know for not releasing any source-code to developers, only for its partners.

The SourceForge link it is useless, since it doesn't have everything needed to build a kernel. Essencially, this device is a no-go for developers and doesn't support any custom ROMs;

Can anybody suggest a foolproof way of cleaning and fitting my Martin Fields overlay plus ??
[General Accessories] mtbsoft:
Get some Sellotape - the opaque, easy to remove stuff. Take a length (about 4 inches) and fold it in half keeping the ends apart to form a 'T' shape and stick it to the middle of the screen protector (not the removable protective film side).

Clean your screen as well as you can. Now remove the protective film and place that on the screen to lift off any remaining fine dust, then quickly remove that and place the protector on the screen, holding by the 'T' and starting at one end pressing into place.

Once you're happy, remove the tape.

You can also remove the protector easily use the same tape technique but placed near a corner instead of in the middle.
[General Accessories] Zincubus:
Thanks a lot.

Any ideas on cleaning a nd drying the overlay.

Simply using running tap water doesn't really clean itproperly AND drying it is a real problem.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suspect008:
Hello,

Today I have flashed Slimbean into Nexus S and it has the Holo Launcher HD as the stock launcher and I dont like it much.

Also I have bought NOVA Prime and its the main launcher I use on all my devices and I want to intergrate it to the system as the stock launcher and remove Holo HD completely. what im trying to achieve is save some ram that native launcher using while its in background.

I have read couple of articles says rename the NOVA apk as the native launcher and place it in system/app folder. but almost everyone replied had said that it leads to force closes. and also I think there's something missing too. what about the app data folder? shouldn't it be replace the native one too?

so can you please guide me on how to achieve this correctly?

Thank you for your time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123go!:
If you go to "slimcenter" in the phone settings, there is a place where you can delete system apps. There should be one that is called "launcher2.apk" that you can remove, then you should only be left with nova.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suspect008:
Force Closes repeatedly

Thank you very much for your reply. Slim 3.1 didnt have that slim center. but I managed to do this from using aroma file manager in CWM.

but as every other one said, it leads to force closes every time. After the boot, nova repeatedly closing itself.

is this the only method? what about the data folder? would it be the reason?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123go!:
I have no idea what could be causing the FC's. I have not done this myself. Maybe what I would suggest, is to leave that launcher there, and just disable it from the app menu. I don't think that program uses too much space if its just sitting there.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suspect008:
for now yeah I replaced it and now working fine and nova set as default. you know our nexus dont have much ram. with marmite bigmem and after disabling all the unnecessary google apps and even by disabling hangouts, moving youtube like those to sdcard, I only free ram around 160 at startup. however thank you very much for your advices.

Pleas help me, every rom(ICS) shows same thing, it stucks on htc logo. Please Help. My phone is useless
[HTC Wildfire S] MiCeltic:
Sounds like you're saying you can't do a factory reset anymore and you didn't back up something you could use.

I can't talk you through the whole process, but when you're stuck on the HTC logo it usually means that the ROM you're flashing requires a custom kernel. Check where you got the ROM for more info. Be sure to do the wipes before flashing a new ROM, cache, dalvik-cache, and data/factory reset.

Hope you find a ROM that will work and that you like.

[Shield Accessories] Edwii:
So I'm thinking to myself, this faceplate should be more useful then just a cosmetic attachment.

If you were to carefully cut out some small chamber into the back side of the faceplate you could probably make a way for storing Micro SDcards.

Seems like a simple enough an idea I thought, not sure if the magnets in it would effect the cards tho?

Why do this? 128s are still pricy, even 64's of a good brand are too. You could store a ton of movies/videos on a bunch of cards and always have them handy.

If your creative enough you could probably make enough room in the back of faceplate to glue in 2-4 of these:

I wish there was an OEM solution but I'm very tempted to attempt some sort of mod.

An other idea for modding the faceplate would be to some how instal a small camera, tho, not sure where someone get the hardware to do this tho... A professionally made HD camera attachment that would replace the shield however would be cool tho!
[Shield Accessories] kieso:
I think its a good idea but I'm wondering if the magnets would corrupt the card also. Electronics and magnets don't mix well.
[Shield Accessories] dark42:
Flash memory isn't really affected by magnets because there are no magnets used in it. You're thinking of floppies and HDDs.
[Shield Accessories] SixSixSevenSeven:
Correction: not affected *as much*.

I would expect the card to work fine still. But magnets moving near any electronics induce a current, this can be the wrong polarity for the card and damage the gates, it could just enable a card read (with nothing to read to), it could reset a memory cell or it could do nothing. The latter is most common but the prior 3 are feasible and can occur.
[Shield Accessories] Doodle210:
I would try this, but the fact of the magnet may cause damage scares me... Right now I have 3 32GB cards, one inside and 2 in a little cardboard cut out taped to the back of my shield, pretty easy to move them in and out...
[Shield Accessories] ricardo85x:
I would like to see this.

Can you post a Image?
[Shield Accessories] Doodle210:
They fit pretty good, easy in and easy out, best part is it doesn't get in the way.
[Shield Accessories] aDigitalPhantom:
I looked this up to see if I was correct, and I was.

The only major problem with magnets and data storage comes from the hard drives that are not solid state drives. The problem is caused by the fact the this type of hard drive uses a magnetic field to read and write to the drive.

Under normal conditions moving a magnet past a coil of copper magnet wire by hand will only get you millivolts.

EDIT

Dug into browsing history and found the page for this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_read-and-write_head
[Shield Accessories] Edwii:
I am of the opinion that the shields magnet is so weak that even if a micro SD card could be affected by a magnetic field that it would need a much more powerful magnet to damage it. To be realistic the magnets in the shield faceplate can't even hold on to the fridge. When you take a piece of metal and drag it across the back of the faceplate, you will notice that there are actually too small separate magnets in the top and bottom centers of it. Giving you plenty of room to create a cavity or two, away form the magnets themselfs for the micro sd's.
[Shield Accessories] Kwongger:
Nice observation, I will test this tomorrow when I get mine! I'll leave one of my ancient 256mb cards in there for 5-7 days and then test. I think that under there could be a sweet place for SD cards great idea!!!
[Shield Accessories] intel352:
Yeah, the magnets not only affect the data itself, but were also bad for HDDs w/ platters, as the spindles could then damage the drives due to the magnet, iirc...

Regarding the faceplate, is the magnet in the screen or the faceplate? (Or both?)

If it's in the faceplate, could 3d-print a replacement faceplate to hold microsd cards (or even have a cable running from faceplate to back of Shield if rigging up something even more complex), and then fashion some non-duct-tape method of attaching the faceplate back to the Shield.
[Shield Accessories] nex86:
there are magnets in both, plate and screen.

They are placed in the upper and lower edges, but not in the middle.
[Shield Accessories] aDigitalPhantom:
I have had 0 issues with magnets and memory cards/ssd/flash drives. The link from the post you quoted tells why in better detail then I will.

HDDs use a magnet system to read and write the to the HDD, flash drives/ssd/memory cards don't work that way.
