[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kpence73:
I bought my Qtek 9100 from an electronics store in London, they get them from a company called SmartDevices (also a UK company).

To start off with, I tried to register my phone (via the IMEI number) at qtek.nl, qtek.nu, qtek.se, and any other qtek site I could find that allows you to register, but was told by all of them that my IMEI number is not valid. I thought this was odd, and I have seen a few more posts where people have said they were told the same thing.

I also was concerned by a few posts that the 2-year warranty doesn't seem to have a phone number or company to call when the phone needs repair. Well, I carefully read every word of the warranty and found that I am to contact a company called Teleservices at the website www.teleservices.com. They are the authorized Qtek service center for my warranty. I emailed them to make sure they were in fact my service center. I even quoted the line in the warranty that says they are the service center. They responded and told me that they are a Dangaard Service Center only for the Qtek phones distributed by Dangaard and that my IMEI number is NOT a Dangaard phone. They admitted that was confusing because why would my warranty card give me their information if my phone's IMEI is not one of theirs. I was then asked if I had bought a refurbished phone that had had the motherboard replaced (because that would have changed the IMEI number). I called the shop I bought it from and they told me they only deal in new, not 2nd hand phones.

It seems that the majority of the Qtek sites are Brightpoint which is the other Qtek distributor besides Dangaard. This could pose a serious problem for many people who are finding that their IMEI numbers are not Brightpoint and they aren't Dangaard, then who? And why would the warranty cards give wrong information.

I have a feeling that my 2-year warranty is void.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ccsnet:
Intresting story which I will follow but 1) Contact Qtek directly - see what they say 2) Your covered by 12 months min any way by law how ever you need to take that up with where you bought it and 3) There is always Trading Standards... but it sounds like its the supplier that has the problem not the shop where you bought it.... may be they have other more legal options they can bring to bear.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kpence73:
There isnt acutally any way to contact Qtek directly. Their websites are acutally fronts for either Dangaard or Brightpoint. Both of which are the service centres/distributors themselves.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ccsnet:
Then take it up with the store... if no go Trading Standards for false advertising...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Edge-Case:
I have been going through the cm10.1 source all day looking for where it mounts my external sdcard (not the emulated external/internal "0" dirs)

I tried grep'ing a few thing across the source tree "/mnt/fuse/sdcard", stuff like that and havent found anything,

I found a "sdcard.c" next to a "fuse.h" file, the sdcard.c file pretty much tells me that they didn't want anyone executing anything from there.

This is the relevent part from 'mount' over adb...

/dev/block/vold/179:33 on /mnt/fuse/sdcard type ext4 (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,data=ordered)
/dev/fuse on /storage/sdcard1 type fuse (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other)

I am wondering if the */179:33 is a variable cuz if it is I can't rely on it to mount if the numbers change, but if they aren't variables then I guess I could use em.

What I want to do ( I have it formated to ext4 already as you can see) is mount the external sdcard (is a wimpy 1.8 GB card holding some kick ass software) to say "/mnt/linsys" and then bind mount to dirs init creates during boot. I already got the perms set in another file somewhere like /system/core/include/private/android_*.h and set up a "postgres" user AID_POSTGRES with id 1061, I also need to make sure it can open sockets.

Can anyone help me out:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Edge-Case:
Damn, well after trying it out, it didn't work, got stuck in a reboot loop buring boot.

So I removed the mount part and it boots, but also the directories I added arn't being made in / , like what the **** man, the changes I made made it through to init.rc that I see on my phone, the list of 'mkdir' enteries are there, but the the directories didn't get created, I was going to try to mount after boot since I rarely turn my phone off anyway but ****, why arn't my changes taking hold.:crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
vold.fstab is where you wanna focus your attention

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 PM ----------

Also if you take a look at the recovery.fstab, it mounts the sdcard from /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Also, if you want the folders to be there on boot, just stick empty ones into the boot.img ramdisk lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Edge-Case:
Thanks C

I ended up doing something a little different, I add the folders I needed to a list of dirs that get created in (TARGET_ROOT_OUT)/ or some variable like that, short-term mem loss. Anyways it was in an Android.mk file in system/core/ I believe and when I went to build it said something about grandfathered modules, so I added those to a file (like it said not to do :laugh:) in build/core if I remember correctly, and it built with the directories in place with the correct perms as I added in system/core/include/private/android_*.h (I can't remember the whole name), sweet.

I did brunch, I still haven't figured out those boot tools , :cyclops:

Now I gotta figure out mounting, I tried changing the mountpoint for the sdcard in vold.fstab but it didn't mount on boot (not in 'mount' or 'df') I can do that manually for testing out glibc based daemons, I have problems with sockets and some to run, Apache2 works, rpcbind works, and a few others but not postgresql or nfs-common, the two I really want, I wonder if a program can connect to a db on another host?). Editing /etc/fstab is easy to do, I gotta figure out these little differences from Debian that I am familiar with. This is not normal thats for sure, its like they micro managed all the permissions and different partitions/mountpoints.

I've backed up and restored quite a few apps using Rom Toolbox, and I love it.

Any ideas why this would be?

I've tried doing them in a batch, as well as individually. I have plenty of storage space left as well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exodus_phoenix:
So I've been flashing new ROMs to my Neo L device lately... The ROM installing was smooth.. I can see the interface going here and there after following all the instructions from A to Z (Unlock bootloader, flashing kernel etc etc). The problem is, after all the ROM trying experiment, I won't be able to use touchscreen on my phone. I tried flashing .ftf file back as a kernel, and suddenly "com.android.*something something" appears to be broken (even though it fixes the touchscreen problem). How does both files differentiate as a kernel actually? Did I miss something?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ShimmyShimmin:
I'm pretty new to Android. It was tough, but I left my beloved iPhone about 3 weeks ago. I've begun my Android adventure and I've gotta say I'm absolutely loving it so far and I kind of wish I had done it sooner.

Being a huge fan of jailbreaking in the past - so much so that my iPhone is still running iOS 5 to ensure all of my JB'd apps still work - I rooted my S4 before even syncing my contacts & music. I've found some amazing stuff for my rooted device, but I've recently been searching for something specific, to no avail. I'm hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

I am looking for a way to customize the grid layout (of my homescreen pages) per page. For example, have a grid of [6 rows]x[4 columns] on my default homepage and a grid of 8x6 on the next page. Maybe it's a weird request, but I think it would be nice to have Page_1 with just a few of my most used apps with large icons, then have Page_2 with a lot more apps that I only use occasionally.

I am currently using Nova Launcher Prime. Since I've put money into this launcher, and spent a good chunk of time getting it set up how I like, I'm hoping I can accomplish this using Nova. If it is only available with a different launcher that's OK - hopefully it allows importing settings from another launcher.

I'm really excited to start getting involved in this community. I hope to get to a point where I can offer as much help as I might ask for soon. I'm also looking forward to getting into application development since Android uses a language I'm actually familiar with :good:

Thanks!

You could try a folder-organising application that allows you to place folder widgets directly on the homescreen. Those tend to have customisable grid layouts. I think there are even widgets with invisible frames that would make it look like there was nothing there but a different grid. I used to use this one:

Thanks for the quick response! You answered my question exactly and would be getting repped if that was a thing here :highfive:

I've been looking at videos & screenshots. It looks like it does exactly what I want. I wouldn't want the semi-transparent background or the label around the box, but that might be optional anyway. Also, unless there are more options on a screen I haven't seen, it looks like there isn't an option for specifying the number of columns and rows. There is an option for "large icons", but they are way too big for my taste. I might give it a shot, I know you can get a refund for paid apps if you return in under like 15 minutes. Not sure if it's worth the hassle though.

You want to change your launcher, I use xperia launcher, you can find it by searching the S4 forum. It will only let you set columns/rows for all screens though not individually, Nova launcher also another good one.

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mtrex90:
A lot of it I think stems from the fact that hisense hasn't released the source code for the kernel. It hasn't stopped developers from working on it. I myself am running a custom kit kat ROM I found on xda. There are forums on here for the sero you just have to search for them!

[Hisense Sero 7 Pro Questions & Answers] mtrex90:
The kernel has a lot to do with the hardware. It is basically responsible for transferring the data from the hardware (touch screen buttons ect) to the software. Like a middle man. And of course each kernel is different from device to device. There have been people trying to get his sense to cough it up, but so far no luck, but it does appear people are making a lot of noise about it so hopefully we will see some progress in that area.

The ROM I am running is a little rough but hey, its kit kat! The audio and sensors are the biggest things that don't work, and some other minor bugs, but the WiFi is excellent, battery life is good, and apps install perfectly. Do a Google search for sero 7 pro kit kat and the first result should be a thread about jellytime 4.3 ( another great jelly bean ROM I highly recommend) links for the kit kat sero 7 ROM are on pg 16 I think

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarsunspot:
The default countdown timer on the phone has the most annoying sound when the countdown has completed. I have attempted to find the file assuming it was a simple mp3 or other sound file but I'm guessing it is not.

Has anyone had any luck finding this file and changing it? If so, can you list the path name?

If it isn't a simple file, does any one know how to change the notification?

Just to clarify, this isn't the Alarm function on the phone nor the stopwatch. This is the countdown timer (represented as an hourglass within the app). I use this quite a bit when cooking and could really use a way to change the notification sound.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opt05:
My suggestion would be to use a 3rd party app as the built-in one will require root to modify that notification sound.

I've actually already rooted the phone as I assumed finding the file was just a matter of looking in the correct place.

If that is your suggestion, what app would you suggest? The 1 thing I need is to have a clock and date widget on my homepage. When I click the clock widget, I need it to go to my alarms, stopwatch, timer, etc. When I click the date widget, I need it to go to my calendar.
