Hi all,

I want to flash the Qtek rom onto my vario as it's giving me nothing but grief, could someone please tell me how do i backup my t-mobile rom so that i can restore it at a later date?

I see talk of this r2sd command, but how do i send that to the phone? how do i then restore this backup from the SD? is there an app i can run which will save the backup to a file so i can save it on my pc for restoration later?

Thanks in advance

P.S : I have unlocked the phone using the software at imei-check.co.uk

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hidden Username:
Recently, I was overhearing a few geeks on the Metro. They were saying that Google can remotely disable your phone, one guy tried doing a chargeback(stupid scammer) and his phone wouldn't work. Is this true? Can Google really brick/make your Nexus 4 a non-usable phone?

In my opinion, that is too overpowering for Google, I mean if they can do that what else can they do that we don't know?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Technically they can, it's technology. They can push OTA updates, there is the google services functionality that allow users to remotely locate and wipe your device, so why not do more? I am using Cerberus app, it can do a ton more things, and have you read about CarrierIQ (they still put it in phones in some form or another, its just not covered by the media).

I think you should check with more reliable source before believing rumor from random nerds on the metro. Sounds like the device is labeled as stolen or some other infraction and the IMEI got blacklist, or he just did something dumb to break his phone. I haven't read Google pulling anything like this, if it was Apple abusing something like this I wouldn't be surprised though.

If you read recent news about the NSA programs then you'll know all bets are off. There are more harmful tech entities out there to worry about in this respect than Google, like Microsoft or Facebook.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMillerNL:
I'm with you on the first one, I see no reason for Google to specifically disable one phone. That makes no sense.

Even Apple would not do that. Simply because they don't have the manpower to check everyone. And if they wanted to disable the device for someone they would only be able to block Google Services, unless they blacklist the IMEI.

And the idea that you should be more worried about Microsoft and Facebook is ridiculous. Google knows so much more about you. Everything most people do online + whatever you do with your portable devices is in their hands. Making them in my eyes, the single biggest harvester of personal information in the world. Is big too, but they only control their social network. Google could get Facebook data, but not the other way around.

Microsoft on the other hand, can spy on everything you do on your PC. But not your mobile device. That makes their data uniquely for games and office. And that last bit is not really exclusive because Google has Drive.

Hi people.

I think we could use this thread to talk about new Omni nightlies. Now the (in fact OT) discussion is carried out in two threads at the same time (under the DevSwift1 build and under dre1178 build), neither of which is official.

So i suggest that we discuss the OFFICIAL nightlies build here to avoid fragmentation and OT in Development threads.

I am using the official nightlies and for now (nightly 05.12):

no multiwindow feature

glitch in the notification drawer (the top being cut) is finally solved

in previous builds, i sometimes had difficulties in connection to wifi once in a while, we'll see if it's still there

Cheers :)

please fix this app2sd issue

i play lot of games and it is difficult for me without swapping memory cards to use them
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
Honestly, I've abandoned the standard app2sd in favor of using foldermount. I've moved all my big games to my external sd card (over 10gb) and anything under 100mb I just leave on the device. I now have close to 7gb free on my phone.

The great thing about using foldermount is that after you flash a new rom, you simply remount the folders within the app and when you download the game again from the app store, it only needs to download the app, not the huge asset files which go along. Using app2sd you lose this handy trick.

I found this mod a while back and it still works. Credit to whoever found it, I'm just sharing.

"First, you need root access and a file manager (I use Root Explorer, as I've found it works the best consistently)

-Open up your file manager, in this case it's Root Explorer

-Enable R/W at the top (cannot be R/O)

-Go to /system/csc/feature.xml (hold down on feature.xml and open in text editor)

-Scroll down to the end (on my phone, the line we are looking for was the third or fourth from the bottom)

-Find the line that looks like this:

<Cscfeature_Launcher_DisabledPageRotation>true</

-Change "true" to "false" (without quotes). It should now read:

<Cscfeature_Launcher_DisabledPageRotation>false</

-Save changes and reboot

-Profit"

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] finikas:
I select a ringtone I used to have for my i-mate and now i loaded it for the jasjar, I select 'Set as Ringtone' it gives me the message that it has been copied and set....BUT if i go into the phone or if I call the ringtone selected is the Windows Default.....

any ideas?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sh500:
Is it a MP3 ringtone? If so, if MP3s are associated with a program other than Window Media Player than this will happen.

I have Pocket Music on mine and I had to unassociated .mp3 with this program and now the ringtone stays set all the time.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dalamario:
I had the same problem on my pda2k wm5, finally to solve it i changed manually the registry where ringtone are written.

If you want to try, you need a registry editor, then go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\

Under RingTone0 you have the key "Sound" that is your actual ringtone and the key "SavedSound" that is still your ringtone (it's needed when you go to radio off to remember your ringtone).

Check this 2 keys and if are not your ringtone, write it manually: \windows\rings\xxx.wav
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PalDragan:
thanks for the solution :)

I had this trouble sooo often,and i didn't even realise it starts after installing Pocket music player. In the control panel setting where you choose your ringtone,i couldn't even set another ringtone,no audio preview no nothing,if i choose any and click okay,it goes back to default. i did what you said and file association for mp3 went back to wmp and eeeeveerything working fine as it should be :) thanks

I would think not. The thing that makes the N3 more than just a big phone is the SPen and if you root and put anything other than a Touchwiz ROM on it, the SPen just becomes a boring stylus. Unless some major breakthroughs have been made, all the SPen features only work on Touchwiz ROMs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cena500:
Hello everyone,

I recently received an Innovatek Inno Pad 10 (chinese android tablet) as a gift and the problem is that the tablet does not boot up. When I got the tablet and turned it on, it showed me an android bootloader screen and then it brought me to the android logo boot screen where it would basically go into an infinite boot sequence. I have tried charging it fully and then turning it on, I have tried un-plugging the battery and plugging it back in. I even tried re-flashing the firmware on the device using a software supplied by the company (it was very hard to find and the company's support is not that great). The flashing process was completed successfully but the tablet would still go into an infinite boot loop (I even tried re-flashing it again with no luck). Here is the worst part, there was a u-boot-nand.bin file included with the program and I decided to try and flash the tablet using that file. Now the tablet's screen won't even turn on, but the power and charge buttons still light on. I think the bootloader got messed up. Does anybody have an idea how to get this tablet working? I have posted pictures of the tablet and its specs.

Thanks

John

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boogerburns:
Its either in the Kernel of the Macbook, or the Kernel of the GN3. If its the Macbook, well it will probably never happen. If its the GN3 kernel, you just have to be paitient and wait for custom recoveries so we can flash kernels and roms that support FastCharge on USB. USB 3.0 can supply the juice, it just has to be told to.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b00mb00mchuck:
Think in milliamps yall... Your wall charger that came with the note is 2000mA... The usb3 port on your mac is 900mA... that won't even charge when the screen is on... just enough to keep it from draining... it will charge very slowly (less than half speed) if you power down the Note3.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ManOfBusiness:
This...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrBoondy:
That's correct, but newer Macbook Pro's have a neat feature. They can provide up to 1600 mA additional current (apple devices e.g. iPad), wich adds up to 2.1A. If there was just a way to disguise a Note as an iPad.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielbollom:
Hey guys,

I have a galaxy s3 (I9300) and I've had it rooted for some time now. I started using CyanogenMod 10.2 nightlies a few months ago and they've mostly been fine. The odd issue comes up but I've been able to work it out. So, a few hours ago my phone just turned off of its own accord and started to bootloop, but on the "Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-19300" screen, not the CyanogenMod screen (to clarify, this screen comes up first then the cyanogenmod one usually). I've tried booting into recovery (CWM 6) but it just shows the CWM boot logo thing (that cog with the hat) and then loops back to the galaxy s3 page. I've also tried putting it in download mode, and it seems to stay on the warning page longer than it does anywhere else, but it wont let me actually put in it download mode from there.

I had a look around google and saw people have had the same problem, but everything I could find was when people had flashed a new rom/kernel etc. and something had gone wrong in the process. The weird thing about mine is that I haven't changed anything, even downloaded any new apps, for maybe a week, so it's not like something suddenly changed. I also wasn't using it when it started, it was just sitting on the table next to me.

Usually I can work these things out, but I'm stumped here. Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielbollom:
So I contacted samsung and they gave me the link to book into a service centre etc, but I just realised that when I try to go into recovery mode, the CWM recovery logo comes up before going back to bootloop. Is there any way to get rid of that so that my root is completely untraceable?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
If you can't flash anything with Odin (stock software) then you're screwed. Eventually you can try to enter recovery and flash "eraser" of recovery, but this requires working recovery... So if you actually can enter recovery then you can also flash anything, which will literally delete everything.

In other case, no, no way. But if you're lucky enough you may break it just by leaving your phone on for some hours in bootloop, haha.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielbollom:
Is there any way to wipe it with magnets or anything? hahah I'm clutching at straws now, but otherwise I'm just left with an expensive paperweight so I'm trying to find anything I can :P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
To be honest think twice before physically crashing your internal memory, as it may void your warranty at all.

I'd try flashing stock firmware through odin, if it doesn't work I'd try flashing anything through recovery. If both of these methods fail just leave your phone in bootloop and hope that it'll automatically destroy everything... :laugh:

Seriously though, you can either physically destroy internal memory or leave it in bootloop and hope for the best, eventually send them device in current status. Up to you, because you won't have a possibility to do anything else.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielbollom:
If I send it back to them as it is now it'll take them about 20 seconds I reckon before they see the CWM logo, realise its rooted and send it straight back, so I dont know what I'm gonna do hahah
