can someone plz help me to change my status bar to full black or transparent?
[LG Optimus G Pro] fastwanabe:
Hi, looking for this also. Thanks
[LG Optimus G Pro] pallcsa:
That would be good...:)
[LG Optimus G Pro] ricco333:
Do a search for Xposed Framework and Xposed Modules and I'm pretty sure you will find the answer.

Erik
[LG Optimus G Pro] Frankie_Ho:
i hv tried several but they dun work:(
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Using Xposed + modules don't work fir me either. It'll work fir a while, but soon, it's like SystemUI restarts and the stock grayish color just comes back.

The closest I've ever gotten is making the status bar transparent. Its not what I'd like to do though, which is to turn the status bar solid black.
[LG Optimus G Pro] solaris2k:
are you willing to flash a custom rom then? that's probably your next best bet

Hey guys, I have released my new app called Calculator for Minecraft. It is a helpful app for every Minecraft player and features:

- Circle generator

- Color codes

- Durability of armor/items

- Nether portal coordinates calculator

- Redstone ticks calculator

- Server hosting slots calculator

- Smelting calculator

- View distance

- XP calculator

To get the app, search for "Calculator for Minecraft" in Google Play, scan the QR code from attachments or just simply download APK that suites your Android version from attachments (I have 2 APKs, for Android 2.2+ and one for Android 4+) :)

I will be very happy if you check it out, and maybe find it useful If you have any suggestions, please feel free to leave me a comment here :).

Does anyone know about the SyncML capabilities of the Wizard? I need to sync it using linux and multisync/kitchensync.

And hopefully, with its WLAN module, it wil finally be possible so sync a businessphone using linux without hours and hours of try and error.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] theRealAfroman:
If the manual is right, the Wizard supports only ActiveSync and has no SyncML implementation. Can anyone confirm this? Anyone who successfully syncronized his evolution/kontact application with ActiveSync of the wizard?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] eendje:
Hi there,

There's no SyncML functionality in activesync, It's Microsoft, they don't like openstandards. :(

You can use the synthesis syncml client (http://www.synthesis.ch/ )

and try it 30 days.

We use it to sync with Novell GroupWise, works very well!

Greetings,

Wouter
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] theRealAfroman:
Thanks eendje. I searched for more applications like this and found http://www.sync4j.org/. Sounds like a GPL Version which works with Windows Mobile, too. Experiences are appreciated, but I think I will try it out and post mine. If it does not work, it will be an expensive tryout. :?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lambretta:
Hello Afroman.

Did you have any luck using sync4j. I have tried to use it but only get error (on my BA). I have used synthesis syncML (Pro editioN) and it works very well with mobical.net. Check it out.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] HoOnZ:
I checked the other speaker questions but didn't really satisfy me.

As you can see with our Z Ultras the earphone and speakerphones look to be the same (symetrical). It reminded me of the HTC One which has the best front forward speakers when watching a movie, and also have symmetrical speakers.

Is there a way we can boost the left earphone to match the right when watching a movie like the HTC One speakers? I am hoping it's not a limitation of the hardware earphone because if we could boost the left speaker to match the right it would be awesome!

Anyone know anything about it?

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Getting audio from anything other than the person on the other end of the call is not possible. I'm also pretty sure the earpiece speaker would break if you pumped the volume up that high (the conference option while in a call will activate the "big" speaker, i.e the speaker at the bottom).

- Mono = 1 (Ultra)

- Stereo = 2 (HTC One)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unk_damnation:
Dude, they are not symmetrical at all. You're confusing the speaker with the microphone. The loudspeaker is at the bottom side, near the corner. Try playing some audio and cover it with your finger and you'll hear difference.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] HoOnZ:
D'oh! I didn't realize that wasn't the speaker. I think the next Ultra should follow what the HTC one did because it would be perfect!

Thanks for the clarification, unk_damnation!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I realized now that i failed in my previous post. I though you asked if it was possible to use the second - in-call ear-piece, as a regular speaker :p I'm a little slow today.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AndroidOSFeen:
Hello All,

So I recently bought a Used T-Mobile Galaxy S3 that was Unlocked for use on Metro PCS, My problem is that Metro won’t connect it for Me because the previous owners information is still on it. Is there a way to wipe it so I can connect it to Metro without waiting two months to be able to connect it? The previous owner factory reset it infront of me and erased his lock codes etc. but I guess it still shows his info. Can anyone help?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What info exactly is still on it? Do another factory reset as that should wipe everything back to the oob state.

You could also Odin flash the Stock or root66 firmware, then factory reset again.

What model is this phone exactly?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AndroidOSFeen:
My S3 Info.

My Galaxy S3 T999 was Originally from T-Mobile but unlocked to be used on Metro PCS. My OS is 4.1.1 and The Previous owner had the phone activated under metro and his plan doesn't end for another week or so, which means Metro will not let me activate the phone until 30-60 days after cutting his service. But since this was the only phone he had, I have no way to contact him. The only other thought I had was maybe just going to Virgin Mobile since the phone is already unlocked, But is that possible since it's still registering with Metro PCS? I'm sorry, I don't know much about unlocked phones and so forth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
That's strange. Once you put your SIM card in it should automatically associate that phone with your account. Without his SIM it shouldn't be trying to access his account to begin with.

Go to a store and ask them to test your phone with one of their SIM cards. If it works you may just need a newer SIM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
T-Mobile phones don't need to be unlocked to be used on metroPCS so it may not even be unlocked, also you can't use it with virgin mobile because I think they're CDMA.. Try doing what doc said
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jacktay94:
I woke up today to a bootloop. After pulling out the battery, I cant turn it on, it was stuck at the google logo. I thought it was some rom issue or something. When I had the time, in the afternoon, I just boot to recovery, and wiped data+sd card. Turns out sd card was not wiped.

Just now, I found a way to boot it. (AFTER WIPING DATA) I used the gnex toolkit and boot with insecure image, and guess wat? My old rom boots. Everything was the way it was, and then it crashed and stuck on the google logo again.(I made sure i wiped things two to three times, data and sd) I did a few experiments:

1) Flash using ODIN

2) Flash CWM using toolkit--it changed back to twrp after reboot

3) Changing the icon on my homescreen after boot--- everything was the same again after booting

4) Flash stock image using toolkit

5) Wipe data using manual adb

6) Try to lock my bootloader

Everything I tried changing, change back to the original state after reboot. What is the problem?

Device: Galaxy Nexus

ROM: Purity 7 sept release

Kernel: Fancy r42

Logs in twrp are showing updating partition, not FAIL. So I really don't think there is a need to show the recovery log.

HELP ME!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
are you flashing your recovery or just booting the recovery?

fastboot oem unlock

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

use ClockWorkMod. I've heard nothing but problems with TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jacktay94:
umm, i can boot recovery. i cannot flash cwm. i tried, but when i reboot, it went back to twrp.

what is oem unlock for? coz its smth i havent tried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
Oem unlock will unlock your bootloader and wipe the internal storage in the process. I saw you didn't use fastboot. You could try that. Flash the Factory image via fastboot. If that fails try omap flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jacktay94:
Yup,I tried it already thru toolkit. Not working either. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SoHaunted:
Dude the toolkit blows, flash back to stock manually via adb command prompt. There are tutorials around here on how to do it. It's guaranteed to work if you don't screw it up.

Honestly flashing back to stock via adb should be something everyone should learn if you plan on flashing roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jacktay94:
i did adb bro, its the last thing i tried, i learnt and try.

Sent to Samsung centre, they told me its my flash IC thats blown. sobs

[Nexus 4 Accessories] convolution:
Hi XDA! convolution here with another review on a product. This time, it's a privacy screen protector:

http://www.tmart.com/Privacy-Screen-Protector-for-LG-Nexus4-E960_p171644.html

I actually just wanted a normal screen protector, but I didn't read carefully when I ordered the product, so when I opened the package, I was really surprised that it was a privacy screen protector. Pictures are below. It comes with one small microfiber pad, and one screen protector:

RIGHT: WITH PROTECTOR

LEFT: WITHOUT PROTECTOR

The screen protector affects the screen color and brightness a tiny tiny bit when you look at it straight on, but one gets use to it really quickly. If you tilt the screen 35°-40° left or right along the vertical axis, you will not be able to see the screen anymore. I actually had a man comment about how he was trying to look at my phone but couldn't, even though clearly he could see me texting away. He was standing about a meter away on the train at the time.

So I guess bottom line is, if you're a girl who gets creeped on all the time by guys, you will definitely want to get this. If you want to watch porn on your cell on public transportation, get this. If you like sharing the screen with friends, you would want a maximum viewing angle, and this is definitely not for you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kgptzac:
this can be useful if it can be peeled off and reapply again... which is what the product cover seem to suggest?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lokenok:
Hmm screen protector to have bad viewing angles ! See people not everyone wants good viewing angles ( Sonyhaters)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] neonlite:
i ordered the exact same one, got two both have dents. screen protector is not perfectly clear of bubbles. very thick and indeed very bad viewing angles (well it is called privacy protector).
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xperimentul:
Is it normal for the screen to like this after applying the screen protector? Or should it disappear after some time?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
So I read some threads about backing up the EFS folder. Most said to do this BEFORE flashing a custom ROM. What's everyone's opinion on this? Is it necessary since I've obviously flashed a ROM? Have you done it? Is it as important as everyone is stating? Thanks for your advice beforehand!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] justinmg:
I have tried lots of times to set up my XDA to get picture messages. I has never worked. I can surf the net, and get (but not send) e-mail(POP3).

Sometimes I have had an error message that says "Cannot connect with current connection, to change your connections press settings". If I press settings it goes to a page with: My ISP name and My work network.

As I have changed stuff sometimes, I can click download MMS and a yellow icon says receiving, and it stops!!!

I know someone will just say do a search.......but i have tried, the best settings I got were:

MMS

APN - general.t-mobile.uk

IP Address - 149.254.211.010

User Name - user

Password - one2one

URL - http://mmsc.t-mobile.co.uk

The first page of options in the MMS composer says

connect via: What goes here??

In the MMS composer setup there is no space for username or password, so where does it go??

Can someone explain the process in really simple step by step instructions , as just giving settings, and not explaing where to put them is not helpful for a dummy like me!!!

Thanks!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
many operators require you dont make a connections like you did for the

gprs with all the same settings and use a different accesspoint name

often mms

and use that

i'm sure if you search excluding to the networking it forum and use the search string

Tmobile AND mms

you'll find some guides

the AND part mean that you will only get results which include both the search words
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] justinmg:
After further fiddling, I have found out I can send myself a MMS, just not get one from someone else.

Any tips?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Here, service is comparable coverage wise and getting even better by TMobile as time goes by. Verizon has had good LTE coverage for several years. I don't travel much any more so that is not as big of an issue as it has been in the past.

I'm currently on Verizon and have been with them for a long time. My current agreement is up on Oct 22 and I am going to get the GN3 to replace my still very usable HTC Rezound. So near the end of Oct I will make the change.

So my options are open. Stay with Verizon or switch to T-Mobile

Pros for VZW

o Existing Service

o Existing Emp Discount

o "free" calling with many family members using VZW

o Solid service for both data and voice.

Cons VZW:

o Past devices GN2 for example were crippled

o Locked bootloader

Pros for T-Mobile

o Emp discount available

o Unlocked bootloader assumed

o Devices tend to be full (not crippled like VZW does)

o Less expensive service plan

o Better device upgrade plan.

Cons T-Mobile

o could cost other family members more for calls (don't really care)

o Unknown Service available though it looks good

o ???

I am really looking at porting my number over and moving to T-Mobile...

Curious what others are doing.

I have had very good service with T-Mobile in the Phoenix area. T-Mobiles LTE in phoenix is very fast. Here are a few speed test screen shots taken from the Chandler, AZ area. (Only one of the speed tests were taken with GPS on Lat 33.28753 Lon -111.97256)

Until you drive through a rural area late at night and break down, with T-mobile you will be hitchhiking for miles.

that is surprising. tmobile sucks bad here
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dixonwa:
I do agree that some remote locations does have poor data speeds on T-Mobile but I have never had an issue were I could not make a call. I travel a lot between Phoenix and San Diego and have never had a problem (Other areas may be different). I believe T-Mobile has come a long way in Phoenix. I made the jump from Sprint 1 ½ years ago when T-Mobile started offering their unlimited data and have been happy with them since. Every person uses there phone differently and I am just giving some information about my personal experience with T-Mobile.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badrsj:
Even if Data is gone - the Voice Calling is Not

I second this - even if data is gone voice calling is not. I have switched to T-Mo - because it is very workable. There is cheaper family plans. There is greater device freedom. Please do not think any device will work. One has to look for the 1700 / 2100 mhz bands - notably - the S4 Google Version and possibly the Nexus 5 will have them.

Now to devices on Verizon - you know how restrictive that is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staryoshi:
It really depends on what kind of price you can get with your discount. I found an awesome discount for T-Mobile (no activation fee, $50 credit, 10% off service), so the Unlimited Everything plan from T-Mobile is $36 cheaper per month (Before the phone is paid off, then it becomes $57 cheaper) than what I'd pay for Verizon's 4GB plan. At that price it's crazy to go with Verizon, despite their generally great voice/data network (IMO). Anything is an improvement over Sprint in Colorado for me, at least :P

If the difference in price is small, maybe $10/mo or so, I'd opt for Verizon. If the difference is $20+ I'd opt for T-Mobile. If money were no issue, I'd opt for Verizon.

I live in the Tampa Bay area of Florida and left Verizon for Sprint (horrible choice when it came to coverage) but now I'm with T-Mobile and could not be happier.

If T-Mobile has coverage in your area I say make the jump. I can't stand Verizon's politics! I believe they were the only carrier in the world to lock the bootloader on the Galaxy S3.

Wifi calling is a bit of underrated feature. You can travel abroad, connect to wifi and use your phone to call, send SMS, etc... Used it on my vacation in Roatan and it worked pretty well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dixonwa:
I agree, WiFi calling works great. I have found it very useful in the large office building where I work. Cell service in my office has been horrible with all 3 of the carriers that I have been with over the years. Now that I have WiFi calling I have great signal all over the building.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leyvatron:
The rezound is an old phone with an old antenna. I had a gs4 that I sold so I can get the Note 3. Currently, I am using a galaxy nexus, and the speeds are not the same. The GS4 speeds are much faster and more consistent. In places I had LTE with the S4 the Galaxy Nexus has 3g speeds. You may want to check on that before making the switch. If you are doing it to save money and speed is no concern, then T-Mobile is your best bet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systoxity:
Hey, if any of you feel like it, can you tell me about t-mobile's wifi calling? Is that something they specifically endorse and works with your phone's phone number? Heard of wifi calling before but never used in conjunction with T-mobile.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boshindo:
Wifi calling is a home grown Tmo app that lets you place calls over a wifi connection instead of cellular network. Works great if you get a spotty signal. Downside is it's proprietary like Samsung's TW apps. Once you flash to another ROM you lose it.

To the OP, all I can do is reiterate the point about Tmo coverage in your area. Coming from ATT I love Tmo's prices but I find a lot more deadzone here in NYC. Seems to be a problem with penetration. In my apartment I get 87 dbm ATT signal but zero Tmo without a repeater attached to the window. Many buildings in midtown Manhattan have zero signal which is weird since it should be a well blanketed area. Leaving the city is a crap shoot. But then again it forces me to live life like its 1999 ;p
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] systoxity:
wow, that's really nifty, thanks. Does it affect battery life when it's on? Or in other words does it prevent deep sleep when its running? I'm not sure how it keeps listening for calls over wifi.

If you got good coverage of T-Mobile LTE, then I will suggest go with Tmobile with their Unlimited data plan.
