Help please

Thank you for your fast reply.

I use totalcommander that run with superuser permission.

With a long press on the file, I go to property and set up with all permission ( 777)

After I hit OK to confirm the change, nothing happens but when I check again, it is still (rw-r--r--)

I have superuser installed.

I am stuck now.

Is there a way to browse and copy overwrite via windows or before the phone is up ( using usb cable)

Help please
[General Questions and Answers] Skreelink:
If the permissions are not sticking, then the app you're using either does not have root privledges, is not performing correctly, or your root isn't correct. Try updating your superuser binary via the superuser app. Although, rw-r--r-- should be just fine, 777 would 'pose' a security threat since it would allow any app to modify it. Long as you replace it with the one required for GSM, rw-r--r-- permissions should work.

Sorry, didn't see this until now... getting the Razr M on pageplus is a real pain, though T-Mobile would be simple. It's a matter of getting the computer to read the diag port (you have to manually select the driver) and simply editing ONE NV-Item, then any GSM sim will work (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc).

Here is one of my posts with a quick guide about unlocking a razr m for gsm.

THANK YOU

I install Rom Toolbox Lite, it failed to verify root.

I check in SuperUser app and found a check mark "Temp Unroot"

I clear and run update for superuser.

Then I remove Rom ToolBox Lite and install again.

I then use Root browser from its link.

Each time it prompts permission of su.

I copy and paste sucessfully.

Reboot the phone and it work in T-Mobile NOW.

It WORKS now.

Thank you so much.

According to your answer in my first post, I can use this phone with GSM oversea without modification ?

Can you help on the link to the instruction of the phone model that can toggle between Pageplus/T-mobile.

I am much appreciated your help.
[General Questions and Answers] Skreelink:
The Droid 3 requires flashing the radio and build.prop to swap between CDMA/GSM

UNLESS it it is a foreign GSM network like Rogers in Canada, then the stock radio works without modification. The XT907 Razr M can do a software toggle between them (Network mode under Mobile Networks like the D3) but setting up PagePlus requires a lot of work for data, though GSM is a lot easier to get working than the D3. You can still go ahead and activate the D3 on pageplus, just after you flash between radios, you have to OTA program each time.
[General Questions and Answers] macarong1:
question for help

Thank you.

I think I can do the same process with the image file from the original and overwrite the build.prop with original.

I did back up the build.prop but not the radio.img

Where can I find the Droid 3 radio.img of 906 version?

I want it simple as a reverting from what I did because I already removed all Verizon apps and install my apps in the current image.

A recovery task can bring back the original image.

** Oversea I meant is Vietnam

Thank again,
[General Questions and Answers] Skreelink:
I will see about uploading the stock radio when I get home.
[General Questions and Answers] macarong1:
THANK YOU

I am waiting.

Thank you sir ( my guess)
[General Questions and Answers] Skreelink:
Sorry it took me so long, I had a long hectic day, but Here it is.

Just flash it like you did the XT883 radio and put a stock build.prop in (you should have backed up the original). Then you should be able to OTA program with *228 if it's activated on pageplus.

Hi,

is there any 'lock homescreen' mod for HTC Desire C?

Thanks
[HTC Desire C] dhakalanil81@gmail.com:
Which ROM you using
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
I am with the stock rom (Virgin, Canada) - not rooted yet.
[HTC Desire C] dhakalanil81@gmail.com:
No lock screen mod for you
[HTC Desire C] dr.pythagora:
Alright ... but if I root, I install a custom rom ... then is there any such mod for one of custom roms?
[HTC Desire C] dhakalanil81@gmail.com:
Yes like xperia ,Samsung circle ,blackberry z10 ,aosp,and others but there ate lots of bugs on custom rom

THIS WILL RESET YOUR SETTINGS APP

1. Download this zip

2. Put on phone wherever and install via recovery.

3. Reboot.

4. Wait for titanium to do its job.

5. Reboot again.

5. Open Settings->Power->

6. Enjoy Power Saver!

EDIT: Only works for Sense 5 Roms.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] iAmSilvercat:
Thanks, Will try later and let you know.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
I literally just tested this before I upped. Quit messing around mike -___-
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] iamscott1:
not working for me on my GPE rom. is it sense only? any way to uninstall if so?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
It's only for Sense. The settings data was from a GPE rom so you should be fine.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] iamscott1:
Yeah just reset all my settings. Does it do anything else?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
Didn't know it'd do that. I got the data from a fresh GPE install so that's probably why.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Nice job bro!

what if I don't use TitiBU?

can I still use it? without having to install titBU or how should I approach this if I say wanted to add to my ROM without having to add TiBU?

thank again homie!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
Ironically I was just writing a PM about putting this in bonestock. Lemme go decompile some stuff and I'll get back to you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Awesome!!

thank you bro!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
Install this and lemme know if it works. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52569571/SettingsProvider[1].apk
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
Replacing the SettingsProvider.apk keeps my phone from booting. Anyone know where this apk stores data? I would be able to extract it and post it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Sorry took soo long to test, on my ROM I flashed it, it booted fine, but nothing changed :(
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
This is why nothing happened for me. I am running BoneStock.

BoneStock probably has some dependent app removed.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
Nah I posted the wrong file actually. Using the one I wanted to use causes the phone to not boot.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
Anything removed is in Aroma, unless found on play store, these apps can be simply added back through Aroma, even after you installed the ROM.. you can choose MOD only and pick the .apk(s) needed, and doesn't touch user data. :cool:

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Another way of getting this is to add the toggle. This will allow you those extra settings. Of coarse it's not as nice as having the true settings in settings.apk, but it work. :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Sonic2756:
Can't get it to work without titanium. I'll work on it more over the weekend. In the mean time, use what I posted in the OP.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blunt_eastwood:
Could someone provide a guide or maybe tips on things I should be doing to keep my S3 optimized? I purchased All-In-One Toolbox and deleted all of my old SMS text and call history and it really sped things up. I was wondering what else I could or should be doing to keep it running well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] extremeodd:
With the text thing just set a limit of 2-500 to keep things a bit tidy. Made the mistake when I first got my s3 to set it to unlimited. After 20k+ of buildup I wasnt able to delete messages anymore, had to let a program run for 5-6 hrs to delete them all. Also like any computer an occasional wipe can do wonders for performance (after backing everything up), whenever my s3 starts acting up I do a clean reflash of my rom and its back to 100%
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tomster2300:
Get rid of Touchwiz asap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carngeX:
If you're rooted, and not on 4.3, get the Lagfix app.

It runs the fstrim commands on your flash storage partitions which help quite a bit if performance seems to be sluggish while loading apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Simonna:
Remove all unnecessary bloatware, install some custom rom (if you want better performance than touchwiz one+more available RAM), clean your cache using cache cleaner apps, don't use task killers 'cause they are unnecessary and eats RAM. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Decantur:
I found using Greenify on apps like Facebook really helps preventing slowdown and improves batterylife as well. However, it needs root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blunt_eastwood:
I should have mentioned that i'm not rooted and would prefer not to do that as I'm completely new to it.

This sounds like the only suggestion that doesn't require rooting, correct? Any other non-rooted suggestions?

How do you set the limit on text messages? Is there any app that will allow me to delete messages that are older than a certain date? The ones I've found so far will only do all or by sender.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
Try go sms pro txt app i know that has txt limit setting nver did like the stock mms haven't ben on stock in a long time cant help u much ... U can always do a factory reset from time to time.. Not have many apps around if u notice u dnt use an app often then just delete it .. Not much u can since stock has a lot of bloatware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Flamingice1668:
Root your phone and flash a new ROM, kernel, and modem (If you're not on the latest one)!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blunt_eastwood:
Okay I will give that app a shot.

I really don't know what any of that means as I'm completely unfamiliar to rooting. Won't that void my warranty?

How can there not be anything I can do unless I root? My phone was plenty fast when I first got it and there was bloatware on it then too. There must be other ways to speed things up like cleaning out my cache and the like.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blunt_eastwood:
I downloaded go sms pro but I can't figure out how to set the text message limit. Could you assist?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carngeX:
Menu > Settings > Advanced tab > Application Settings > Scroll to the bottom, and check "Auto delete old messages" then set your Text and MMS limits just below that.

I have mine set to 500 SMS, and 20 MMS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blunt_eastwood:
Thanks I figured it out.

Ultimately I ended up uninstalling the app though because it was too slow and I didn't like the ads.

I've been using All-in-one Toolbox and just periodically deleting messages.

So does anyone else have any advise on speeding up my device?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Just throwing it out there, but if you don't have root, you will never REALLY be able to optimize much. You're stuck with what Verizon and Sammy gave you... Rooting and installing cyanogenmod brought the lag next to nothing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackwolf77:
The stock messaging app allows you to set how many messages it keeps. You set x number of text messages and x number of mms messages. Open the message app and the click the settings button and there are the settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blunt_eastwood:
When I cleaned out my old SMS messages it did make a difference though. Why is rooting the only way to restore my phone to it's initial performance?

Thanks for the tip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
You can always restore it to its initial performance by factory resetting, independent of what ROM you are on. I just don't think touchwiz is as responsive out of the box as cyanogenmod. And I think cyanogenmod holds up to lots more apps and data being on the phone better compared to touchwiz.

People will argue that as always, its just my personal opinion :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
For pure stock rom 4.3:

1) Disable unused apps (bloatware)

2) limit SMS, MMS - no more than 500 (mine set to 200).

3) install cache cleaner app and schedule to clean cache weekly

4) Reboot your phone once a week or once every 2 weeks.(I do it before I hit the bed)

You phone should performance well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blunt_eastwood:
I guess resetting the factory settings would give me the ideal result, but it's not very practical.

Thanks. Could you tell me how to disable unused apps? And also do you have a recommendation for a cache cleaner app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
1) For user download apps, just uninstall them. For system apps go into settings-> application-> tab on the all, this dispaly all the apps, if you selected a system app, open it and select disable, to the right you also see a tab for all the apps that you disabled and to re activate just open it up and tab on enable. Note: Not all system apps can be disable. If you don't see the option to disable then it can't.

2) You need a cache cleaner with a scheduler like:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mobi.infolife.cache or

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bazinga.cacheclean
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
I never said factory resetting was the only way to get results, this is actually a good list of suggestions, so thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] wdwray:
What happened to the voice dialing on my I4G? I just acquired it and was surprised to learn there is apparently no voice dialing (Gingerbread 2.3.5). Puzzling, since my HTC Status with Gingerbread 2.3.3 had the feature and it worked quite well. This seems like a basic requirement with use of a hands free device.

The redial also seems goofy as it redials the last call - whether it was outcoing or incoming, which causes problems if the last call was from a number with a blocked caller ID. Likewise, the redial feature is a basic feature for handsfree use and worked flawlessly on my Status.

Is this HTC's idea of progress? Are ther any viable workarounds?

BTW, I've tried two custom ROMS without complete satisfaction. The Gingerbread ROM had the same problem, the Jelly Bean ROM correctly redialed, but did not do voice dialing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wdwray:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Obsession5:
Hey in running slimbean 4.3 and I'm looking for a note 2 type keyboard. I thought when I use to run this ROM I had a keyboard with the 5th row. I don't like the PC version of the Google keyboard. If anyone knows of one I would approximate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tp2215:
Check the ported apps thread in my signature. There are a lot. The note 2 keyboard requires the touchwiz framework however in my opinion the next best is the Xperia keyboard which works great on aosp ROMs.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] frazer:
I know this question of satnav on the XDA has caused much gnashing of teeth, but I am trying to get TomTom5 working on a XDAII, WM 2003, using a TomTom wired receiver.

Everything works - and works perfectly, I might add - as it should EXCEPT I cannot change the basic defaults - e.g. home address. If I do, next time it reverts to the address previously used.

Equally, it will accept favourites, but not save them. Next time I fire it up any new entries are gone.

Can anyone suggest a way of changing these defaults?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Modder_J:
Doubt this is a usefull reply ....

but it sounds like, where ever TomTom is writting to, to hold the Home and Favourite info ... is not staying put.

Is everything as it should be ? no missing files from folders ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] frazer:
I thought that too, but as far as I can see everything seems OK as far as files are concerned. I am reluctant to use the restore factory settings button in case I do more damage. I can live with the default problem and enjoy the pleasure of a John Cleese sound alike!

But it would be nice to solve this problem.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] gugi_sat:
Hi Frazer

you have to change the following file in your storage card\ Great-Britain-Map folder

Great-Britain-Map.cfg

to Great-Britain-Map.cfg.old

then start your tomtom and change you rhome address then you will able to store your home address

hope this help

Got my new Nexus last week. Setup my profile, and activated my T-Mobile Sim. Wife is going to take it on a trip this weekend, so I thought I would utilize the profile feature. Set her up a profile, configured apps etc. When I go to Data under settings, the ability to turn on Mobile Data is not there.

Is it a per profile thing, or am I just missing something simple?

Hi,

Was wondering what to people use for "Do Not Disturb" (DND) ?

Coming from Apple, sorry, I really want to just enable DND when I go to bed and have no notifications until my alarm goes off in the morning. No Facebook updates, no email notifications, no blinky light, just the alarm.

I see there are scipting apps and others out there but I wondered what people generally recommend.

Thanks!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
There is in Android 4.3 and I'm using it every day on my HOX.. Was a bit disappointed that I didn't find the feature in stock rom.

Eh Im waiting for cm10.2 rom, until then I just have to live without it..

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Do you have the dock? If yes, you can use "Smart Connect". It allows you to make several profiles for when you dock/undock, like "From 23:00 -.06:00 set to silent" or "Publish a status update on facebook at 08:30", or even "Connect to the wireless speaker across the room at 09:00 using bluetooth". It's much like "Tasker" actually.

Either way, there are third party apps on the Play Store that does allow you to make a DND profile.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] dropofdreams2:
This can be triggered automatically with Llama or actively with an nfc tag as well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cmclaughlan:
Thanks Lord that's a really good idea as I do have a dock at my bedside.

How to Check DND Status online easily

The DND is an abbreviation of Do Not Disturb function. The DND is an initiative taken by TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) to prevent the customers from unsolicited calls and SMS. Some Do Not Disturb attributes contains directing the call to a pre-allotted extensions, busy signal, DND signal or recorded message generated by telephone switch. Fewer switches permit the call to go via the extension, but banned the response to a visual indication. Several PBX systems permit the assignment of DND circumvention codes to supervisors.
[HTC Desire C] arvin2212:
Hello guys,

So a friend gave me her HTC Desire C as it was slowing down. I decided to unlock it and install a custom Rom.

I installed the CM MIUI rom and i passed the phone to her. After using it, she noticed there were quite a few bugs and if she taps on any option in the middle of the screen, her touches are never registered. This happened after the ROM upgrade.

After 2 weeks, I took the phone again and installed SensationalRomv4. Cleared the cache and everything else and proceeded with the installation as instructed. I noticed that the middle part of the screen isn't registering my touches as well.

I believe it might be a hardware issue. Is there a way to relock the phone so we could send it for warranty? Or will they be able to tell that the phone had been unlocked and would deny the warranty?
[HTC Desire C] vkt1989:
Same problem happened with my mobile. when I installed custom Rom first time, after 2 days centre part of the screen wasn't working. So I reverted back to stock rom & gave it to service center under warranty....I was surprised as they repaired it under warranty even though bootloader was unlocked.
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
Warranty shouldn't be voided if you mess with the software. The thing is that if you drop it or overheat it or submerge it in water, several indicators inside the device mark that. Software wise, if it isn't hardbricked there shouldn't be a problem with returning it. My friend returned his Desire X to HTC because of a faulty motherboard and they repaired it for him without any trouble. Go ahead and try handing it to your provider if not to HTC.
[HTC Desire C] arvin2212:
Guys, thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

When the phone boots up, there is a warning text in red at the HTC logo. If I were to revert to stock rom , the warning may still be there during the bootup. Is there a way to remove that warning , or did you not do it and just flashed a stock ROM and sent it for warranty?
[HTC Desire C] LaKsHaY1997:
Flash stock Rom and then Flash Stock Kernel...Stock kernel will only work with stock Rom and it will also Remove the Warning at boot...

SO therefore you will have to flash Stock Rom as well as Stock Kernel :)
[HTC Desire C] me4488:
I am not really sure what the policy is on that. Try flashing stock ROM kernel and recovery and it shouldn't show the text. Then again I'm not interested in the stock stuff and haven't been using them 1 year now so I can't really tell you for sure.

Edit: Hit post 3 hours late. So do that =3
[HTC Desire C] vkt1989:
It goes only after flashing the stock kernel.
[HTC Desire C] arvin2212:
Thank you.

I found this post for stock recovery: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2035480

However, is there anywhere else that I can look for, that provides stock recovery and kernel? Perhaps one for Asia?
[HTC Desire C] LaKsHaY1997:
Here..I think it works with all CIDs...I am from India And have used it and it used to work perfectly...Stock kernel is provided inside the Zip...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NovaStark:
Lately for some reason my phone's display screen seems to be using too much power. Normally my phone would reach at the lowest battery level of about 60% (for about an 8 hour use - using whatsapp, fb, internet browsing,e-mail,etc.). However lately I get to about 40% now. GSam indicates that most of the power is going to the display however my brightness isn't on automatic or past the halfway mark. Is there any way to return my phone's battery usage to how it was before?

(I am using the RGUI V3 ROM with Android 4.2.2 if it helps)

Below are some screenshots from GSam.
