[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oliverpeabody:
So i tried flashing back to stock from PA 3.99 RC2 via odin this morning and am now stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo. I flashed LK4 via odin, Odin said the flash was a success and the device rebooted but won't go past the samsung logo. I'm capable to get into download mode but not into the stock recovery. I have tried flashing LK4 3 times and each time i get the same issue. My GS3 is from rogers.

UPDATE: Managed to final get into stock 3e recovery, from there did a wipe date/factory reset and phone booted up just fine. Sorry for this post, if mods feel the need to delete it go ahead.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] patt2k:
Hey guys I have a droid razr from one of my old lines I wanna fix it up and give it to someone in Europe. I actually do have T-Mobile.pl(poland) sim card with me.

When I do factory reset for a second it shows Roaming triangle i also went into the service mode and changed it to WCDMA for GSM usage.

Still shows no service at all when I put the same sim into my S4 it shows T-Mobile roaming and it gets service.

Can anyone help me out where on what to do?

PS. it's the Verizon one.

EDIT: installed CM 10.1.3 , in status it shows phone number as European but signal strength shows:

2147483647 dBm 255asu

shows signal just fine with same SIM in 4S.

If i can't fix it this phone becomes useless so someone please help me out :) I heard this phone might take a while to accept the SIM Card so I will give it like an hour maybe.. also mobile networks set to GSM auto

I'm looking for an anti-theft app. I don't know if it exists yet.

Is there an equivalent to the symbian phone apps "Anti-thief" or "EzProtect"? It has some nice features to let your pda "phone home" when someone is tinkering with it, or you can remotely disable your pda by sending a password though sms.

I've been searching over the net and found "Kill-pda" but that can only erase the device completely by sms. Thats a bit overkill :lol:

I hope someone knows, because i learned the hard way that you really need an app like this. My phone got stolen once and I got a Huge A$$$ bill for calling to egypt en italy :(

edit: I found this description for EzProtect:

The application sends an SMS to your specified number as soon as the SIM card has been changed. By this way, you receive SMS on your friend's (or whoever's number u defined) cell with the thief's cellnumber and SIM number (IMSI) so it becomes very easy to track the thief.

I definately want an app that can do this. And I can imagine a lot of people wanting it too.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sunseaker:
There was a discussion about this on HoFo in Oct ober when people first started receiving their Wizards. I think BTT (BeyondtheTech) mentioned something about it. I'll see if I can track it down this evening.

It certainly would be cool.

Hope this works. I have not tried this myself.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leploep:
Thanks a lot for your help, but that was the program i mentioned in the threadstart "PDAKill".

The only thing it can do is erase the device completely when you send a sms to your pda containing a predifined password.

But when the thief takes out the simcard and puts in his own, then this program would be useless.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
Guys, if I've seemed distracted for the last few days, this is why:

I've been working on a program called VJAccioPhone.

It is used to detect if your phone has been stolen and to permit remote use of the stolen phone. Your phone doesn't have to be stolen, eg if for some reason your wife is likely to discover your "niece's" affectionate messages to you, you can send a password protected remote keyword to format your phone and hardreset it. I'm sure you can think of better examples!

It's an expansion of some code I wrote for my unreleased plugin, VJEphemeris, which you can read about here. The release version allows you to do pretty much anything you can do with the phone when it's in your hand, all remotely. Destructive and constructive control.

This is a pre-announcement. I don't like preannouncing, but unfortunately this week I've been on a very limited programming quota due to the ministrations of my better half. So although the code is finally finished, it's being beta tested while I'm away on holiday. If all is well when I get back next week, hopefully I'll try to get it released!

Don't tell anyone else, but you can read about VJAccioPhone and see screenshots here. Please note, and don't ask, there is no download available at the moment.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Finraziel:
Aside from that a program like this would be very handy, and I'm quite curious and will keep an eye on it myself, I advise everyone to activate the pin code on their simcard, and always call their mobile operator as soon as the phone is stolen so they can block your number to avoid getting high bills as the topicstarter said... You should also be able to get your number back easily by requesting a new sim card and having your mobile number set to that simcard again.

This may seem obvious to some people, but I just wanted to post it anyway since a lot of people are still not aware of these simple ways to protect yourself.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
Absolutely true; in England, the police aren't interested in persuing phone theft, but for you own benefit, you must always have your IMEI blocked and the phone reported stolen immediately to prevent you being charged for calls.

VJAccioPhone will be able to report back to you even if the IMEI has been changed or it's being used abroad etc. It's more for protecting your data on the stolen phone then getting the phone back. Frankly, any thief would do better to throw the phone away then persue cracking strong protections. Stolen phones are easy enough to come by! However, at least a nice passer by might be able to get in touch with you!

V
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] frigit:
Sounds great! Would it be possible to enable the phone ID (Where you can enter your name and contact details) thought this might be good if it was ever found (or part of the hard reset).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] leploep:
Wauw, this is great stuff Vijay!

If you need a beta-tester on the wizard platform, i would highly recommend myself :D

This would be excactly what everyone needs 8)

Would it be possible to save the configuration settings? Because my idea would be to include the cab file in my extended_rom, and thus make it install itself even after a hard reset. This would mean that the configurations settings also have to be loaded after the hard reset.

Keep up the great work Vijay :) :P :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
frigit: if you mean enable password screen, yes, should be no problem. however i'm thinking of writing a better custom password screen using some strong encryption, with optional destruction on failure.

leploep: of course, it's designed for extended rom etc. right now protection works as a ta k, for the demo, but i'll be writing protection into an invisible app. Remote control is already complete and works transparently when triggered, so the thief won't even realise what you're doing ie there's no sign of the control smss being received to the thief.

eg you can background call the police from the stolen phone :)

more when i'm back from holiday next week!

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alfredtv:
vijay will this work on all the wm5.0 devices??

i.e. I have the pda2k with wm5.0 and have been looking for a prog like this since i got my device, also is it possible to keep this program after hard reset ?? as you know if a hard reset is done the data is gone, but the user now has an expensive device to start playing with
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
it's not been tested on wm5 at this time, actually because the guy testing has a wm2003 motorola - gulp! but everything i write is normally wm5 & wm2003 now. there is no reason why it's not wm5 compatible but i'll ensure it is before release. i can certainly say, to my pain, the hardReset keyword is very wm5, i activated it by accident in testing.

retaining it after hard reset is only possible, as far as i am aware, by using a custom ext rom or rom.i've not tried it on my magician or universal, but hopefully your device in particular ext rom customisation is possible. at this time it uses registry & normal exe/dll files to run, so no reason it can't be ext rom'med. hopefully this will be confirmed in testing shortly.

if anyone can think of any particularly useful remote keywords to incorporate drop me a line. as it is, the full version will permit remote .exe launching so it can do pretty much anything :)

vijay all the best mate so far your app looks very promising iv got the exec running WM05 so if you need a beta tester let me know:) LOL

and guys if you report your phone as lost make sure your service provider is also going to blacklist the device!

I work for Vodafones in a call centre in the birmingham, UK,but the amount of customer services that is outsoursed to other non vodafone call centres based here in the UK its unbelievable! the amount of complaints I deal with and customers accounts that I come across where the outsourced twats

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] RELAXXD:
Hallo liebe Community,

Ich habe mir letztes Jahr im sommer ein Samsung Galaxy Gio gekauft und habe probiert Cyanogenmod drauf zu packen. da ich aber Vergessen Habe ClockWorkMod zu installieren ist alles in die Brüche gegangen! Mein gio war gebrickt und ich konnte es nicht mal mit Odin Retten.Heute habe ich mal so aus spaß probiert es neu zu Flashen. Es hat zu erst gut funktioniert und ich konnte es wieder booten ohne dieses brick Zeichen. Aber beim Ersten einstellen hab ich festgestellt das das Touchscreen nicht Reagiert darum habe ich mal weiter geflasht ohne resultate. Jetzt habe ich dann mal probiert es zu rooten und CWM zu installieren was auch geklappt hat danach dann Cyanogenmod 9 und gapps drauf. Hat dann soweit funktioniert BIS auf den touchscreen. Es will einfach nicht Reagieren. Kann mir da einer Helfen oder ist hat das mit dem brick zu tun? Dazu kann ich über den normalen recovery modus nicht rein weil da die ganze zeit "RAMDUMP MODUS" steht.

Danke im voraus! :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Caproid:
Dude,only english :/... First of all, go with your Gio to a Samsung Center. The problem is that you need to replace the Touchscreen (Gio is a weak phone ... I had one too, and it just died )

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] architekt666:
I ve noticed the same issue.

Maybe it's because the names of the apps are not dictionary based so any suggestion or correction of the spelling is goin to guide us to different results and that, is not "fair" for non dictionary-based named apps.

My guess

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Highhbrid:
Ever since about May when Verizon pushed an update out, my WiFi functionality has gone completely down the ****ter. I will describe my symptoms to you.

If I connect to a known WiFi network, I can connect to it if I am in the same room. However, the moment I step into a different room I loose my WiFi icon on the status bar and if you go into your WiFi settings it will say "Authentication error". When you tap it to reconnect to it, sometimes it will bring up the password entry page and presume to say "Authentication error", sometimes it will do nothing.

The moment you walk back into the same room again, though, you have to open the WiFi settings but once you do it will connect back and say so at the bottom of the screen.

I have read that lots of people experience this only after a certain Verizon update, like me. I have gone as far as to load the original factory .tar file that Verizon first used, before any OTA updates applied.

There are numerous accounts of this problem relating to my specific model, multiple responses from Verizon reps on the Verizon forums, Samsung responses on there forums, and I have still not seen any kind of actual fix.

Is there some sort of remedy for this? I want to sell this phone soon, but not in this condition.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
I also have a weird issue. I can't connect to any 2.4GHz networks at all. I have no problems connecting to 5GHz networks though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Highhbrid:
It's crazy man. When did it start for you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
I just noticed a few weeks ago when I tried connecting to someone's wifi and it just wouldn't. I did notice when I first got my phone that the speed on my 2.4GHz network on the phone was very slow, so I just used my 5GHz network. But now it won't even connect to any 2.4GHz networks at all. It sees the networks but just won't connect. It is a verizon refurbished so probably gonna have to unroot, return to stock, call and get another refurbished unit. Just didn't want to go through the hassle of there was a fix for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chubbrock:
It's a known issue with the Note 2. I restored my phone back to stock, unrooted, did a factory reset, and still had the issue. So I called verizon and they said it's a known issue that lots of people have called in about. They are sending me a replacement, which I should receive tomorrow. I'd recommend doing the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dja2k:
I had to do the same just yesterday, so my replacement should get here in two days.

Hello there,

I installed the ULTIMATUM ROM and first of all I want to congratulate the developing team, this ROM is really really good.

Until now I just found one weird and boring bug. My device doesnt vibrate when receiving a call. I already checked some topics and followed some advices but nothing.

Silend MODE is On, Vibrate always is ticked but nothing happens. My vibration module isnt broken cause it is vibrating when I get a text or any other notification.

I really hope you can give me a hand here, it'd be very appreciated.

Keep up this awesome job, this forum is the best thing I've seen so far :)

Rooting problem PMP 5297C QUAD SOLVED

Hi,

I found a solution thanks to this web site:

http://androidforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=815&t=48237

Translate it with google translate to english. I had some problems installing the right driver on my windows 7 x64 machine but I succeeded.

Basically it goes like this:

1. Download the zip from the link on the web page and unpack it.

2. Start the RKAndroidTool.exe (in the status bar it will say "No found RKAndroid rock usb")

3. Shut down your tablet and disconect the usb cable from the tablet that is connected to your pc.

4. Press the volume up button and hold it for 6 - 7 secconds.

5. Still holding the volume up button plug in the usb cable that is connected to You pc. (At this point in my case nothing happened)

6. (If nothing happens) Go to control panel - device manager and there You will see an unknown device.

7. Right click on the unknown device and select update driver. Point to the folder where You unpacked the downloaded zip / Drivers folder and select the search in subfolders checkbox. press OK button. Windows will install the drivers. After that if the tablet didn't start automatically boot it up by pressing the power button.

8. The RKAndroidTool.exe now will recognize the device.

9. Set the checkbox next to rom/recovery.img and press "RUN"

10. The tool will do what it has to do.

From here on just follow the instructions for rooting the tablet from the website.

Hope it will work for You as it worked for me.

Hi all,

Has anyone already done this, or does anyone know if it is possible... to power both the XDA IIs and the Tomtom Bluetooth GPS receiver from a single cigarette lighter plug?

I have a cigarette lighter power lead for both the XDA and BT Tomtom and I'm thinking about cutting the leads in half and joining the wires so that they are connected to just the Tomtom BT GPS cigarette power cable.

e.g.

________ tomtom
/
<==------
\________ XDA IIs

Does anyone know if this should be okay? and does anyone know which wires should be soldered to which? I presume the devices will still be protected by the fuse in the Tomtom cigarette lighter plug which is good. The tomtom adapter is 2A so I expect it should supply plenty of power for the two devices, I just need know which wires to connect :-)

From research I understand that the Tomtom cable has three wires, red, black and white. And the XDA cable has four wires red, black, white and green.

Can I connect just the red and black and ignore the others???

Thanks,

~S
[General Accessories] sh500:
I also required the use of two cigarette lighter sockets; one permanently used to power my Magician and the standard car one to be kept free for ad-hoc devices.

I bought one of these from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Additional-Ca...840814193QQcategoryZ14932QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

It has a socket on one end and bare wires on the other, which can either be spured of your existing socket or directly from battery. This way your devices are still protected by the fuse of the charger.

Another benenfit of this is that all cables are totally hidden under the centre console of my car- no wires to get in the way.

Of course this is a semi-permanent, 'tidy' solution; if you're not too fussed with that then just use one of those 2-1 cigarette socket adapters.
