[NFC Hacking] 7175:
This is a script I made, "NFC_down", for init.d and cron that disables NFC by turning the power off (there's actually a sysfs file for this :D ) and restricting access to the ttyO3 device. The device and locations might vary from one device to another, so just double check. You can find any "nfc"-related file in sysfs though by running "find /sys | grep nfc". From this script, you'll probably just want to use the power file and echo 1, double check the permissions on the other files with "ls -l", check security context with ls -Z if you're running 4.4.

#!/system/xbin/bash
## NFC Down

sync && (sysrw || mount -t ext4 -o rw,remount /system)

### Disable nfc binaries ## add chattr if stderr
for i in "/system/bin/nfc*"; do [[ -f $i ]] && [[ $(chmod 0000 $i) ]] &>/dev/null 2>&1; done

### Disable NFC device, default 0755
chmod 0000 /dev/ttyO3 &>/dev/null 2>&1

### NFC POWER OFF
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/nfc-power/nfc_power 0<&- &>/dev/null 2>&1

sync && (sysro || mount -t ext4 -o ro,remount /system)

Just change [[ ]] to [ ] for POSIX/ no bash

This was pulled directly from the latest HTC Sync Manager (2.4.11.0) installer.

HTCDriver.exe.part1.rar and HTCDriver.exe.part2.rar are the executable driver installer. The other files are the drivers for the individual platforms.

Note: The last zip is labeled Win2k, but I suspect it is also intended for use with Windows XP.

Note 2: An earlier version of the Windows 7 driver was reported to work with Windows 8, so I suspect that is also the case with this version.

Note 3: This version of the installer included two versions of wpdmtphw.cat for Windows 7 x64, but I only included the first in its ZIP, so if you have any trouble with it, try the installer EXE.

Older Versions

4.2.0.001

4.0.1.001

3.0.0.007

Misc

HTC Sync Manager 2.4.11.0 (EXE, directly from HTC, found here)

Android Platform Tools r19 (adb and fastboot, ZIP, directly from Google, found here)

Google USB Driver r08 (ZIP, directly from Google, found here)

To find it yourself

Download the latest HTC Sync Manager from the HTC Support page (HTC Sync currently contains an older version of the driver).

Uninstall the old HTC Driver Installer (if installed).

Run the HTC Sync Manager installer.

Monitor your %TEMP% directory for a folder to be created containing the driver installer (HTCDriver.exe).

A similar process can be used to acquire the individual platform drivers from the driver installer.

Anybody come across this? Put my note 10.1 2014 to sleep last night and now I can't get the display to come back on to the home screen, I get the sounds if I volume up or down, the menu and back light up if I touch them, I can toggle the switch in the middle but my display stays black.

Hey xda memebers,

short question about google opinion rewards. As the app is normally not working in Europe, I wanted to ask if there is any possibility to get it working?

I tried myself to get it working by:

1. installing orbot and forced an us exit node

2. editing my google account so us is my home country

-> but still not available for my account :/

Please do not start a discussion about 'Why to do that!?', pleas only give your opinion about how this could be possible.. or if at least it is not.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Meyhemg:
Hi everyone

I installed about two weeks ago the United Kingdom BUT MJ7 stock rom and from that moment my battery life is horrible.

I tried to disable everything I could, here's a list of what I disabled:

- Wifi

- GPS

- Bluetooth

- Reading mode

- In Wifi settings: Always allow scanning

- Air view, Smart scroll, Smart pause, Smart stay

- In software update: Wi-Fi only

I tried also disabling the "Remotely locate this device" in Android Device Manager under Google settings but it also didn't improve the battery life.

I set the brightness to auto and the Power saving mode is off.

I don't want to enable the power saving mode because it feels later that... I don't know how to explain, I don't like it.

I don't use any bombastic applications, I use Facebook, news, workout app and antivirus. That's about it.

I don't play games and don't mess with big applications.

I charge my battery everyday and in most cases now (after the update) twice a day. For example: last night I had my battery on 80% or such and in the morning (after 6.5 hours) it was around 60% (~20% per 6.5 hours).

Also, during the day, when I use it I just go to facebook and such silly stuff and I start my day with 100% and end it with 60% (and again - no playing games and no stuff like that which require maximum graphics, CPU performance and such).

In settings>Battery the Screen is shown to be the most "heavy" process but I already set on automatic brightness, the screen timeout is 30 sec. and everything is disabled except from "Auto adjust screen tone"(but it's written in its description that it saves power). Oh and also I have adapt display turned on.

I also wanted to say that before the update my battery was OK and only after the update to 4,3 that happens.

Thanks in advance for any of your help

This mod can be flashed via TWRP or CWM recoveries on odexed and deodexed stock based ROM's and will enable SMS and Tethering options in Settings. By default SMS will appear in Hangouts as per the Nexus 5.

Revert is only for stock odexed users. Should you need to restore a deodexed ROM simply reflash it.

Did you have KRT16S or KRT16O on your device before you flashed? This is for KRT16S.

I used Google's stock images to flash boot and system from KRT16S. Then I went into TWRP recovery and rebooted in order to re-root. Then I went back into TWRP and flashed the zip.
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] saroman1:
Sorry for my English that is terrible :(

I used Google's Stock KRT16s

Course

- Fastboot OEM Unlock

- run Flash-all.bat

- after reboot : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img NOT TWPR

- reboot recovery and install supersu69.zip

- reboot in recovery ans install KRT16S SMS WiFi Tether

After Reboot did not start the Nexus and i see only the four balls

[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] saroman1:

[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] cmstlist:
Just to clarify what you did:

When you flashed the OS images from fastboot, did you boot into the OS at all before trying to install this zip?

Anytime you erase data or reflash userdata.img (which it sounds like you did), you must boot once into the OS to regenerate the data partition. If it's not booting, flash system back to stock again, boot once completely, and then proceed with trying the mod.
[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] saroman1:

Flash the Stock with flash-all.baz, then Recovery and boot the OS completly and than flash the Mod

So considering what ive heard about the Unbrickable mod if i buy another device off ebay with a broken screen i should be able to just replace the main processor board correct?Or is it the harddrive as well perhaps? what exactly happens when it becomes unbrickable?How much of the device is actually affected?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
I...I... don't understand this question?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Brasstire:
Basically my device is bricked almost beyond repair, theirs something called Unbrickable mod that you can do but you actually have to take the whole thing apart and short some resistors together or something.I don't understand the mod well enough to do it myself so im really just asking instead of modding it if i can just replace the whole board, but i dont know exactly what part of the device is making it bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
The only thing I've ever heard of with "unbrickable" in it, is the "Unbrickable Resurector" here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1386669. The Galaxy Player 5.0 is considered "unbrickable" because there is nothing you can do "software wise" to brick the device without being able to bring it back. The only way, I know of, to brick the Player 5.0, is for there to physically damage the hardware of for the hardware to fail.

I haven't heard of any mod where you can "short some resistors" unless your talking about JTAG....;)

Why do you believe that your device is bricked beyond repair?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Oh sure you can totally brick it in software. I've done it twice. You have to corrupt the SBL without corrupting the PBL. That way it still tries to boot from eMMC, but fails, instead of trying to boot over USB.

He's talking about http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1206216. Apparently AdamOutler's friend's device was PBL corrupted, so he only needed the Resurrector to fix it, and hence has never looked for the OMx pins (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236273 - nobody's tested it).

[MENTION=5560029]Brasstire[/MENTION], the broken part is the bootloader on the flash memory chip, which is between the CPU and the mainboard, so you'd need to replace the mainboard. Or you can get it JTAG'd for $40 from mobiletechvideos (http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-player-5-0-jtag-brick-repair-service/).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Brasstire:
Thanks for the conformation, i assumed it was the main board but wasn't sure that was the only thing affected.I think ill just end up replacing the main board, JTAGing and fixing it myself will be about the same price but i think ill do it myself so i have some extra replacements parts when im done.

Looking and searching for days on this topic. Could not find word on anybody working on it.

It is pretty heavy handed for Google to issue an update that reduces to functionality to their device. I use Adobe flash may be 5% of the time on my phone, but still, if I don't use it at all, I will just use an iPhone. No point in letting Google make money from my searches.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] k3lcior:
Yes, because Adobe is no longer updating it.

This is what Dolphin says on the developer's website (https://dolphinbrowser.desk.com/cus...id-4-4-how-do-i-enable-flash-player-?b_id=317) --

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Bogdacutu:
As someone else already said, it's not Google's job to keep Adobe's app updated.

You're basically relying on old technology that should have been gone for a long time already. If you think about it that way, ask yourself, why doesn't Windows rely on MS-DOS anymore (it was there in older versions, so why isn't it there now)?

And I don't see how switching to iPhone would help in any way, you can't sideload apps or have Flash at all actually. Do you really want to go from a 7" screen to a 4" one? And wouldn't you use Google on iOS too?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Lolento:
Your argument is exactly why I will not longer consider Android as my next whatever device. Even when MS no longer base windows on DOS, the underlying DOS commamds are still supported.

Google is pretty heavy handed in trying force users to move away from flash. There are better tech available, I agree, but there asre still tons of websites using flash exclusively. These websites are completely essentially to the people who use it.

I also want to ask, aside from flash, objectively, what makes Android better iOS. Nothing, imo.

I believe App vs App, the quality of Apps on iOS is better than Android, even the Google one. I dont really sideload anything aside from flash, which i use to access sports websites.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Joppykid:
Android gives you customization where as iPhone pretty much tells you how your layout is going to be. A lot more freedom on Android, that is the biggest difference for me. You're definitely on the wrong forums to start an iOS vs Android debate though.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] milordblackfyre:
So your willing to go pick up a new over priced device which gives you next to no freedom on it for customization, for a old, out dated, inefficient system of flash? Even though that device also has no flash support ? Glad we settled that.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Lolento:
This is not even an iOS or Android debate, I can pick up a Windows device, who knows.

Google removing flash support is the last straw for me. And I am surprised that no else see it as getting escalatingly worse.

Here are a few things that Google did this year.

1. Gmail exchange active sync support removed

2. Youtube comment ties to Google+

3. Google dropping voice support for third party apps

4. And now removal of the killer app, adobe flash, that brought me over from iOS in the first place

Also, i have been using android for the past three years. The level of customization on Android is more of a toy box than anything else. With the removal of adobe flash support, the core functionality is identical and i would even give Windows Phone an edge over both iOS and Android.

Lastly, btw, this thread is about whether any dev is working to bring adobe flash back to 4.4. I didnt start this debate.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lanwarrior:
Couldn't agree more... If only iOS have a 5" phone, I'd have jump ship.

The customization advantage is getting lesser by the day...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Joppykid:
How is comparing pros and cons of two competing operating systems not a debate?

You asked "what makes android better than iOS, nothing IMO" I told you what I liked about Android over iOS. And you only mentioned iOS and Android in all of your posts, nothing about windows.

I understand that flash is a big deal for a lot of people. I am unaware of any devs working on it. Sounds like it may be tough with Google removing the framework needed for flash. I doubt many devs want to put time in to developing something that is starting to get phased out. Good luck in your quest to find flash.
