How to get RUIM to work on an unlocked sph l720. Gsm.SIM works, but cdma sim can't. Please advice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Maybe because with CDMA it is locked to Sprint no matter what ? So when you unlock its only able to use the GSM network? Just a theory.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] pvinodnayak:
In the GSM unlock thread, one person had claimed data to work on RUIM, after unlock, he changed mode to RUIM only using DFS cdma tool. I have tried that too and all other possible ways, no luck.

I had an 8GB flash drive which was formatted to EXT4, it was useless for me as Windows didn't recognize Ext partitions. I searched a lot and luckily found a Windows application which can format EXT back to FAT. Below is the link:

[General Topics] s1m4an:
You can still format the drive using Windows built in tools like diskpart. Not sure, but I think that it's still possible to format the drive even from the Management Tools.
[General Topics] harontas:
tool

mini partition tool pro it can detect all kinds of partitions and format to any also.you can move resize and whatever you want to a drive:cowboy:
[General Topics] 1DerkaDerka:
There's no tool needed. If Windows does not detect the drive then most likely the drive is bad. If the drive is detected then you simply right click and format from the My Computer window.

Hi all,

I have a strange problem: bluetooth manager works fine after a soft reset. I can my PPC the whole day and it will always start normally (read: the screen that shows BT shortcuts shows up). The problem occurs when I turn off the phone over night (flight mode). The next day I can't get the BT manager to show the shortcuts screen - BT can be switched on and off but neither the BT manager or the BT settings screen will show up (there is no error message!!!). After I do a soft reset everything starts working...

Has anyone come across this kind of a problem in the past? I couldn't find anything using search on this forum...

My device info is (DutchRetail ROM):

ROM: 1.40.00 WWE

Radio: 1.13.00

Ext ROM: 1.40.556 WWE

I have tried uninstalling almost all extra software that I have installed after a hard reset but the issue is still here.

Thanks for all suggestions on what else I can try.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] AndrewB:
Hi Poga,

Yep, I get exactly the same problem :-(

Do either of you have Goodlink software on your device?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] moose_nz:
same problem no goodlink

Same problem but no goodlink software :(

I also get another funny problem where sometimes I go to connect to my bluetooth access point from my phone and it just has the little pie icon saying it's doing something, then it stops and it hasn't connected (the connection icon stays the same) and I can't make any sort of connection. It then does this everytime I try to connect.

I don't know how i fix it, but I combination of many soft resets various flight mode turn ons and fiddling it eventually works. It's very frustrating and it's happened on every software version. Right now i"m running 2.04.00. I have a CDMA from Telecom NZ running radio HA_01_151 right now (but I've tried other radios).

Somebody else had this problem I noticed but nobody replied to his posts.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] imablackhat:
I've got the same problem I hope someday that someone makes a fix for it. I run the XDA IIs BlueAngel 1.40.00 Asian O2 ROM WWE. =/.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] helpsnic:
Same problem here - only solution I had was to go into settings/memory and then stop all programs running - then the bluetooth manager appears without the need for a softboot..

Pain in the arse. :!:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] devis:
I do and I have the same problem. I've been suspecting that it may have something to do with that because when I reset and I can start the manager just fine before I start Goodlink, but after I start goodlink it's a pain. Once, I tried to start BT manager then it didnt... i forgot all about it then suddenly some 11 hours later it just popped up by itself. Goodlink had been running continuously.

Any ideas???
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] steiner1234:
I sometimes have the same effect.

What I usually do to resolve it (without soft reset):

- I installed PocketNav (kills programs which run in the background)

- I select 'Close all but Ative' in PocketNav

Then the Bluetooth Manager works again.

Hope it helps.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Hemant:
This is due to memory limitation in WM2003SE. When it finds that the memory is not sufficient it wont run Bluetooth Manager or Wifi. I had this problem a lot until i have shifted to WM5 which has more than 100 mb when the device starts. I guess that is why M$ has built WM5 for that reason and also for persisten storage of course.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cw6447:
The "memory limitation" is indirectly the problem. The Goodlink, which is more than three times the memory hog as any other 3rd party app out there, is the direct problem. I could write a college discertation on the amount of bugs in this awful software. And yes, it is good for push email...but at the expense of everything else that is good about these multimedia devices we own. The typical "close-when-you-tap-the-X" software utilities don't shut down Goodlink on my device even though they successfully shut down every other software I own (over 40 titles). So I have to use MemMaid to kill its process. But Goodlink will restore itself in a matter of minutes as it ventures out to the server looking to synch mail, calendar, contacts. If there was ever a reason to bring back public hangings, it would be for the Goodlink windows OS development team.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] devis:
I don't really see any issues with Goodlink eating my memory. Then again, I've converted from a strictly fun user to a strictly business user so the whole gaming and multimedia thing doesn't quite do it for me anymore.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cw6447:
Steiner,

I tried PocketNav to see if it would truly close GoodApp.exe. Although it does seem to shut the application down, the 6+MB exe still is open in memory. Using MemMaid it shows that it never really closes.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] poga:
I also didn't have the Goodlink software installed . My solution to the problem was: I installed the Sprite Backup software and set it to automatically restart my PPC @ 6 am after creating a backup. So in a way, this problem was very benifical to me - I now have a fresh backup of all the software every morning and the device reboots every morning without my intervention (no BT errors, no WiFi errors, etc).

Hello ppl i could really use your help.

About a few weaks ago i installed a nightly version of cm 10.2 all was working fine until my phone didnt wake up at some point. So i tried to reboot phone with holding down power button until the 3 buttons start flashing but it didnt work out my phone didnt reboot. So i tried to do it again with holding down power button but now the 3 buttons didnt start flashing but the power led went of for a second and came back up so i waited after that. my phones screen stayed black for like 15 minutes and after that the htc quitly brilliant screen comes up. When i wait another 15 minutes it will start to boot into cm.

Now i get the following problems: Sound on my phone doesnt work anymore, Camera doenst work, Cant play videos, Gps doesnt work etc etc.

I tried to install stable version of cm 10.1 flashed new boot.img but didnt seem to solve the problem same problems as with 10.2 remain.

does anyone know how i can fix this?

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] kuma82:
You have to let your battery drain some to get the offline flash working. The best thing to do is get back into the bootloader (fastboot) and install the omap4430 driver.

Issue the same command you used to unlock

adb reboot oem-unlock

Look for lelus fastboot thread.

Flash the non touch cwm for p769. You can find everything you need in carloswii5 thread on unlocking bootloader. Look at my post in that thread. And look for lelus touch screen fix. While you are at it, flash a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AcostaJA:
My S4 was stolen, I'm disappointed with Android Device Manager and Samsung FInd My Mobile.

No way I'm sure why can't find my S4 neither service can contact it, I assume they (the thief) do a hard reset and switched SIM card, no way I can confirm the wipe commands I Sent where achieved.

So I now changed every password
[Galaxy S 4 General] NaveenKumarXDA:
That is sad to hear.

Thats why no company uses lockdown software. Now you are forced to buy new handset from them. Its only their win.

Only security they work on is to force no software changes by the buyer but not the thief.

Rwgister a complaint with the police. IMEI tracking is possible.

My friend was mugged and the crook was caught a couple of months later using IMEI tracking.
[Galaxy S 4 General] venki5star:
This feature relies on WiFi/Mobile data. May be the thief turned off the data.
[Galaxy S 4 General] body150165:
Not sure about that. You can reset the phone with a sms. So I guess it doesn't rely on mobile data alone.

I don't know which features the op enabled, so everything is unclear. Maybe the thief just turned off the phone and waits until the owner gives up.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Yuna:
Is there any software capable of installing itself into /system and working after system reset in hidden mode?

+ store those photos in /system (so no gallery can show those photos)

Or better - be installed right into bootloader/(and|or)kernel?

[Galaxy S 4 General] myname70:
If I take your phone and immediately remove the SIM card and immediately flash / wipe a new rom - no way to track it by the Samsung software... (by the way - even it is very easy to change the IMEI ). So, the only option is to send the SMS wipe command before the phone is reflashed
[Galaxy S 4 General] Yuna:
Easy to change imei? Please, make proof-of-concept.

Can i change my IMEI to 1234567890123 or even 666666777777 in my sgs4 (i9500)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Primokorn:
With root and Terminal Emulator you can change IMEI but I'm not sure that giving proof is a good thing to do on XDA!

BTW sorry OP... I don't care about Samsung or Google tools because after several tests I also deduced that they are useless.

p.s. OP sorry to hear about your loss :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] MichelN:
Point is if you do a hard reset everything gets wiped and the thief has a brand new phone to use. The user who lost it cant find it by imei via samsung.

I also wonder why we are not able to set a password in recovery mode (like a bios for pc would allow us).
[Galaxy S 4 General] AcostaJA:
I both registered , activated and tested Google ADM and Samsung FMM , I hoped both being similar to Apple's Activation Lock, but isn't its very easy for thieves to overcome just doing a hard reset thru boot loader.

Also the Imei at police I was informed that mafias have IMEI repair tools that in fact are service tools for repair centers but capables to change the Imei number, so is very possible my S4 now lies on a new box with new accessories and new imei and is being sell as an new s4 w/o complaints neither evidence was stolen.

Big issue here
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung's introducing consumer-centric features for Knox with the N3. It includes the abilitiy to prevent wiping the device. You can also hide your porn in a seperate secure container that only the phone owner has access to. ;) The SGS4 h/w as it relates to Knox should be the same so hopefully the 4.3 update will push the functionality to the SGS4.

From the N3 press release...

The new GALAXY Note 3 comes with enhanced privacy and security protection provided by Samsung KNOX. Users can activate Samsung KNOX with ease which allows them to run and store security- sensitive applications and data inside a protected execution environment called “container.” The security inside the container is strengthened by system-level protection of Samsung KNOX against malware and phishing attacks as well as hacking attempts on physical devices when devices are stolen or lost. For instance, important personal pictures or video can be stored in the container with no worries for data leakage due to hacking. In addition, users may choose to store enterprise applications and data such as corporate email, contacts and calendar and allow the IT department to manage the container through EAS (Exchange ActiveSync Server). These features make the GALAXY Note 3 an ideal device for BYOD (Bring-Your-Own-Device to work)

Furthermore, the GALAXY Note 3 is equipped with an improved Find My Mobile feature that allows users to disable the phone when it is stolen or lost. With the enhanced user authentication, the technology prevents stolen mobile phones from being reset to factory settings, and allows users to remotely track or erase the data from their lost or stolen mobile phones.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toonhead85:
** I will post some pictures later today - I'm at work currently **

The Nillkin Fresh case came about 2-3 days ago and I was quite excited. But that was short lived. The case is a faux-leather flip cover case with a thin plastic shell on that clips to the phone. It looks decent enough, but I have some problems with mine (possibly QC problems):

The case though didn't completely fit!! Along the right side (near the SD/SIM) it is a bit warped - not bad or noticeable unless your looking right at it and for it.

The case is held closed by a magnet, but the magnet on the flip cover is quite small which then requires it to be precisely over the other pole or it does nothing. Not a big deal, but I wish this was thought out better.

Additionally, one of the main features of the case is (link below) how the case being used as a stand. The flip cover is a tri-fold design which should act as a stand but I haven't had much luck with it. The inside of the seemingly leather flip cover is a soft touch, almost suede, material that is quite slippery. This plus the fact that the case seems to be needing to be broken in makes for the "stand" feature unusable... it falls right over currently. (I have tried multiple configurations).

Over all, I bought the case on eBay for $9.99 with no shipping cost (ships from china - companies home country) and it took about 15 days to get here (in the US). Not bad, but I am already looking for a replacement that will make my device feel premium again rather then cheap.

Would I recommend this case? Yes, but only as a temporary case until more come out - like the official Sony cases or a case from Incipio (link below).

** Complete side note: I had a Nillkin case for my old Nexus 4 which only lasted a few short months because the leather started to peel away from the flip cover! I knew this would be a temporary case when I bought it, so keep that in mind!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dobygot:
I was fortunate to get to try that case out and many others (being in hk and china) - and I posted about this case. It's unfortunate you didn't read my post and what case eventually went with in the big Z ultra case thread.

This case is definitely not recommended if you want one to work well with desk stand, and want to use the trifold ipad style cover as a stand.

The snap-in style plastic mounts doesn't make it easy to pop in and out of to use the desk stand, and the plastic mounts are shiny thus looks and feels cheap.

Finally, the cover doesn't even come close to the quality and feel of the ipad cover, even the vinyl kind. The material is stiff and plasticky and most importantly doesn't fold together to function as a working stand at all. It will unfold/collapse and fall over.

In addition, there's an issue with the the magnet. With the magnet closed, there is a gap between the last third of the tri-fold cover and the phone's screen. This gap exists because the case (mold or design) is not the right fit - the wider flap makes it essentially unable to align with the opposing magnet. If you try to push the flap down to get rid of the gap, you inadvertently push/slide the magnet off and the cover comes loose. In practice, the magnet will never be engaged because you'll always push the cover down somehow (pocket, bag, stacking something on top).

The only Nillkin I recommend is the http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=13&id=3516&page=1 shield case. I ended up buying the black one for scenarios where I don't want a flip cover. The fit is good, texture is good (good grippy backside), and it doesn't look too cheap (no shiny plastic). It's decent protection for rougher than usual situations. There are sections where there's a thin piece of plastic on the edge of the phone (like over the usb flap) where it feels weak, cheap and easily breakable. Besides that only issue, I like this case as a back-up.

For a flip cover case that works well with a desk stand, actually stands up, and feels decent quality - I recommend Kaso and Krussell. I went with Kaso as a cheaper alternative for now.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] toonhead85:
So I guess it's not just me... which is kind of a bummer, but I have already found a replacement. Now if only October 22 was here (my Birthday) I could get a new case!

Thanks for the replay, some good thoughts there!
