[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] diziko:
Okay, thanks for the first reply. I'll try to install this ROM, but does that mean that I have to install some official Android version first? It doesn't say anything in that topic, but for some ROMs it's mentioned, and usualy the added links are broken, etc.

And about the SIM lock, I don't know if it was a misunderstanding, or I'm missing something from that website. My SIM isn't locked, but it looks like that my Network adapter is, or however should i call this, I don't have the phone with me atm to exactly describe it, but still. I get the message that i should enter a PIN for my network something, not for SIM unlock.

Is this resolved with installing a new ROM, or do I still need to do something else about it?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] tejas_:
Please clarify

I don't think so. I installed it over Lewa ROM. It installs its own kernel, so there is no such dependency.

Just take the backup using recovery to be on safe side.

Did you purchase the phone from specific service provider?

Does it ask for pin when you try to insert another SIM card?

Did you manually set some PIN/PUK code?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] diziko:
Yes I did purchase my phone from a service provider. I didn't have a chance to try another SIM card, but, I've installed a 2.3.5 android version now, and the system is stable, at least I'm fine with that, but the WIFI and bluetooth aren't working. For wireless it says Error when I try to enable it, and bluetooth simply isn't enabling, without giving me any errors.

And no I did not change any PIN/PUK code settings.

At least the phone is working now, but I really have to get the WIFI working, any ideas?

"kernel" - 2.6.35.7-perf

android@localhost #1

I guess this localhost thing has something to do with it? But I've no idea about those things, on phones at least.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ivo_pinho:
your emei is correct?

if you have used custom partitions you could have lost your emei.

go to defenitions and see if your emei is correct.

and have you tried to install an official rom again and see if everything is working?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] diziko:
I've checked the IMEI, it's the same as on the back of my phone. It also says "Wi-Fi MAC address / Bluetooth address - Unavailable".

I'll try to install fresh rom later today again. Should I install the same version as I did the last time (2.3.5), or some other one?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] iakoboss7:
if your wifi and your Bluetooth are closed it will say this... if you open them it will show the addresses as normal...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] diziko:
What do you mean open them? I can't enable either of them, as I described in one of my previous posts, I get error trying to enable WiFi, and as for bluetooth, nothing happens.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msflsim:
Hi all, I want to check something with you.

On my N3 the S-pen as well as the little blue circle do not appear in the lower right corner. Its a very small area but nevertheless it does not register.

Note 2 users have had the same issue, see THIS thread.

Can you check on yours so that I can rule out a faulty N3?

Thanks!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
Even the *#0 menu, the spen test ignores that area, the same with the note 2.

I guess it's to avoid interference (if you noticed, it's the same corner where the spen slot is.)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonDzibudon:
Hi everyone,

I am having the same issue. I noticed it today when I played a bit with the Microsoft Remote Desktop in the landscape mode. The X button to close a window is at the exact spot. I was I bit annoyed that I couldn't close a window with the s-pen, but I could with a finger. So I checked in the test menu and I saw the problem there.

I was thinking of returning the phone as I also have the multi-touch problems experienced by multiple users of this forum. I will probably contact the Samsung support to check what they have to say about those issues. I really like the phone and those might be minor issues, but they can be quite annoying if you have an expensive phone like Note 3. I will check in the local shops if the phones there also have the issues.

EDIT: I have attached an image of the s-pen test menu. Don't mind the pink tint, as I used a crappy phone camera. You can see that the s-pen isn't detected in the lower right area. In my case, there here is also a small area in the lower left corner.

EDIT 2: I have spoken with Samsung support. They have told me that the inability to use this area with the s-pen is due to a design constraint. I have also asked about the multi-touch problems and they have told me that it is not intended to use more than two fingers.

Greetings and have a nice day.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beowulf_pt:
I'm going to unbury this thread as I've noticed that my Note 3 (bought at 10 March 2014, so probably a recent built) takes considerably more pressure to activate the digitizer on the bottom right, pretty much above the speaker.

This is noticeable for instance on the . key on the Samsung keyboard. Apply the same light pressure as on other keys and nothing happens. Push it harder and it triggers. This becomes quite annoying while typing with the pen, especially for people coming from the N2.

If you like to use your fingers you'll be OK. No difference at all.

I have installed a few of different the CM10 based ROMs and noticed that the LED Notification light is not working correctly with MailDroid.

Things I have noticed:

Notification light seems to work with Gmail and all other programs just fine

Notification light

does

work when phone is plugged in, not sure why this is

Notification light works fine with Bonestock ROM

LED Notification is enabled in settings

I contacted the maildroid dev and he thinks it's a CM10 issue.

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has any suggestions to get the notification light working correctly with maildroid?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] alireza7991:
what is XZ Utils

XZ Utils is free general-purpose data compression software with high compression ratio. XZ Utils were written for POSIX-like systems, but also work on some not-so-POSIX systems. XZ Utils are the successor to LZMA Utils.

The core of the XZ Utils compression code is based on LZMA SDK, but it has been modified quite a lot to be suitable for XZ Utils. The primary compression algorithm is currently LZMA2, which is used inside the .xz container format. With typical files, XZ Utils create 30 % smaller output than gzip and 15 % smaller output than bzip2.

Android port

XZ Utils makes managing .xz and .lzma (LZMA2) archives possible in Android APPs or tools .XZ Utils is easy to use and powerful . you may use it in your app or use it with terminal emulator ( push binary to /system/bin and set permissions to 755 )

This binaries support ALL Android based devices with Bionic C Library .

Download

You may download lastest binaries for Android-ARM here :

XZ Utils 5.0.5 – ARM – Android

Development

Main development of XZ Utils is running by Tukaani .

And git repo :

git clone http://git.tukaani.org/xz.git

Licence

The most interesting parts of XZ Utils (e.g. liblzma) are in the public domain. You can do whatever you want with the public domain parts.

Some parts of XZ Utils (e.g. build system and some utilities) are under different free software licenses such as GNU LGPLv2.1, GNU GPLv2, or GNU GPLv3.

de

compression. :good:

Thank you in advance! :)

Sorry for download link,I'm gonna fix it ASAP.

UPDATE: fixed (link is available in OP)

UPDATE2: oh, It seems there 's a problem with new executable, I have to fix it. I just need some time.sorry.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
Hey. I just wanted to thank you again for your work but I managed to make a static native compile (~765kb) of xz-5.0.5 using my N7 and a kbox build environment I set up. It's available in my ARM Android Image Kitchen linked in my sig. Cheers! :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] munjeni:
Since xz binary for android is missing I have compiled one static armv7 for all you, enjoy! ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
[MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] [MENTION=4825267]alireza7991[/MENTION] Hi! Can you share the commands you used to get xz's ./configure to cross-compile to android? I'm trying to set it up on Cygwin using the NDK's standalone I made but I'm having troubles. :)

Edit: I think I figured out my main issue: the toolchain bin path needed to be added at the beginning of the PATH, not the end. :silly:

Now to generate configs for arm x86 and mips and figure out how switch between them and build.. (any tips here would be appreciated as well!) :good:

Edit 2: Another snag with the toolchain.. configure grabs the Windows path for ld instead of the Cygwin one, so we run into multiple targets due to the :'s. Starts happening around the libtool detection. :confused:

Edit 3: It appears I can force it to use the one in PATH with LD=arm-linux-androideabi-ld :D

Edit 4: Getting it to make a legit static compile is stumping me now, I've tried adding CFLAGS="-static -s" to the ./configure commandline but it doesn't work in L, meaning it's not actually static (maybe due to zlib or something?). :eek:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
[MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] Can you please explain how you statically compiled it? Configuring with --disable-shared --enable-static doesn't seem to work. Neither does inserting the -static flag various places into the built Makefile.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] munjeni:
Try with LDFLAGS
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
Thanks for replying! Cool stuff, but I don't see xz in there, and am struggling to see any lessons I could apply offhand from it. :)

Tried adding it with -Wl,--gc-sections,-static but that results in "checking whether the C compiler works... no", trying it separate now.

Here's my setup, under config (before): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54510825&postcount=277

Here's what I'm trying now (simplified):

savedpath="$PATH";
ldflags="-Wl,--gc-sections -static";
cflags="-g -O3 -ffunction-sections -s";
export PATH="~/x-tools/arm-linux-androideabi/bin:$PATH";
cd ~/xz*;
./configure --host=arm-linux-androideabi --disable-shared --enable-static LD=arm-linux-androideabi-ld LDFLAGS="$ldflags" CFLAGS="$cflags" CPPFLAGS="$cflags" CCASFLAGS="$cflags" --disable-xzdec --disable-lzmadec --disable-lzmainfo --disable-lzma-links --disable-scripts;
export PATH="$savedpath";

I feel like I tried it in LDFLAGS before, but fingers-crossed. :fingers-crossed:

Edit

: [MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] Still no luck, unfortunately. It statically links liblzma but not libc or libdl: :(

Chris@Homebase ~
$ ndk-depends() { ~/x-tools/$1/bin/$1-readelf -d $2 | grep NEEDED; }

Chris@Homebase ~
$ ndk-depends arm-linux-androideabi xz
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so]
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libdl.so]

How did you execute configure, and/or alter the resulting Makefile to get a true static compile?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] munjeni:
I had problems with xz and sorry I forgot how I solved them, probably (I think) I have linked with static libc! Or probably (maybe) some of the depended libs was not static which caused me failed xz static compilation so maybe I have compiled staticaly other dependencies and linked with xz! Bionic is realy an sh*t :( Hope this help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
Tried adding --with-sysroot= to the ./configure command-line and -lc -ldl to the CFLAGS (and LDFLAGS) to try and get it to find/link them all but still no luck. :(

[MENTION=4120742]munjeni[/MENTION] If you ever do remember/recreate what you did to get xz to compile statically, please share it here/somewhere on xda and mention me. It's actually applicable to all autotools (./configure) built sources, so would definitely help a lot of people with a lot projects. Especially with Android L coming along, requiring everything to be static or PIE (with static preferred for backwards-compatibility). :) :good:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] munjeni:
Put your libc.a and libdl.a to the new place. for example put them to new folder caled /tmp/compilationfolder, than try flags:

LDFLAGS="-L/tmp/compilationfolder" LIBS="-lc -ldl"

to make sure it get linked with static libs! If compilation fail to find other libs than locate missing libs and move them to these folder and try again until...

EDIT:

If I remember corectly I think now I have removed shared libs in sysfolder of the toolchain just for compiling xz!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] E:V:A:
[MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] : What toolchain are you using? I really hope you're NOT trying to use the MentorGraphics/CodeBench/CodeSourcery garbage. Only trouble with their stuff. Also, when using Cygwin for these kind of things your putting yourself in deep water or trouble from the start. Use a VirtualBox VM. The list of problems when trying to compile any *nix stuff on windows is nearly endless.

Check this:

"Cross-compiling: Building_the_Kernel_using_Cygwin"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] osm0sis:
NDK all the way. Yeah I know I should fire up the Ubuntu VM, but I was having such fun (successfully) getting it all to work in Cygwin so far until this roadblock in making xz static. ;)

Either way, I think munjeni was using Linux and ran into the same problems until he started messing with the toolchain sysroot, so it's not just Cygwin. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Modding.MyMind:
I believe you are on the right track with this idea but my concern with it now is that there are multiple definitions upon compiling against liblzma.a and a few others. Causes errors. I then took a shot with just libc.so libdl.so and this went fine without any errors but they still appeared as dynamic when checking with: objdump -p ./xz

---------- Post added at 01:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 AM ----------

[MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION], if you wish to compile xz statically then the following example will do the trick. It's so SIMPLE I about fell out of my seat. Pay attention to what I have in bold:

./configure --build=arm --host=arm-linux-androideabi LDFLAGS="-static"

Then, when you go to run, make, just do the following:

make LDFLAGS=-all-static

Update:

After some tests with [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] we learned that using configure will ultimately overwrite the original flags ordained by the source. Running the configure normally then applying your flags using "+=" will insure the ordained flags do not get overwritten as well as including your own additional flags. This will ultimately be up to the user what they want to do and their ultimate goal at the end of the day.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conchas:
I wish I could get some clarification from the experts here.

Sorry if I didn't pick the most suitable forum to raise my question.

With displays resolution increasing on high-end android phones (now FHD) and some tablets too, I'd expect the browsers to take advantage on that.

Although this is some thing where I can't see any progress even with the newest hardware.

The same webpage as seen on a FHD laptop, or on a FHD smartphone, doesn't show the same thing.

The minimum zoom for a smartphone seems to be set in such away that a significant part from pages with most content is cut, in respective to what's seen on a FHD laptop.

Some could argue that once the smartphone screens are much smaller, it doesn't make sense to have same zoom level settings as it won't be readable. Although smartphone screens are getting bigger, and many tablets have big enough displays to show it in a different and still readable way...

Furthermore in many cases if you turn a smartphone in portrait or landscape you can see exactly the same content displayed wide-wise, which doesn't make any sense.

Landscape mode could make better use of the larger horizontal display resolution and show additional content.

I've tried many browsers on Android, but all seem to show the same limitations and no settings to decrease the default zoom level, neither it is possible to manually zoom-out further in any way.

Does anyone knows if this is an Android OS limitation and when this foreseen to improve, or if there is some browser that gives further control on the minimum zoom level?

I should say this has been the main reason why I've not seen a justification to change my device for a new one with better HW and larger screen... :p

The browsers on my qHD device, show exactly the same thing as the newest FHD ones. :(

Thanks in advance!
