Zylo, I agree with you in one regard. The post is perfectly legit insomuch as it is helpful and technically related. But only for people without a conscience. Bret, you are symptomatic of this new generation of kids with no personal accountability in life. To pretend that you can guess that a software company doesn't mind you giving away their software for free is ludicrous. madcap probably got ahold of some sales guy who thought it would be nice to do him a favor. Do you think the owners, investors or developers would have told him to feel free to post it on forums around the internet? Why not take that info and sell it for a profit on eBay? Or better yet why not just sell the software as your own? If they were giving you a free copy then they wouldn't mind you doing whatever you want with it. Right? You see, you keep blurring the lines of common decency to the point where eventually anything goes. You won't understand until someday you actually become a responsible citizen, start your own business, and put your hard-earned money and time out on the line. I bet when the leeches and thieves come after your product you will have a whole different attitude. The "right thing" to do in this case is so easy and obvious. I fear for a world where people can't make that distinction.

Sorry if what i said came across as a flaming. It was not intended as such. I'm just aware that softweare companies have many employees, from designers to developers to marketing people to managers. Of all these people the ones who seeme to have the most alturistitc (read non commercially-minded) approach always seem to be the developers. They are typically just concerned with writing good software and makng it work. If you asked a developer for a free copy of his/her software for 'testing' they'd probally give it to you without complaint! If, however, you asked them if they'd like their contract to end at the end of its term becuase you were going to make the software they wrote completly unprofitable by telling everyone how to get it for free they might be slightly less generous!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Bret:
Your points have been taken on board but for the record, I work for a small, local mobile phone dealer. How much business do you think we lose from people unlocking phones, and therefore not returning to us?

I'm not saying that is right or wrong but what I am saying is that it is illegal. It is stealing from the provider and taking profits away from independant dealers. Also, how are you to know that my own business did not fail due to non-payers? You obviously open your mouth before engaging your brain. I could not recover the debts owed to my company and it resulted in the business closing. Is that not also theft?

If you want to target anyone go for the real criminals who sell ripped off software and DVD's on the Sunday markets. They are the real problem, not one guy who has made a very small post who has admitted to have lttle understanding of what he has done. I'm sure you have now all alienated him so he will never return to this site again.

Talk about a mountain out of a molehill.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] tintoy:
Yeah. Can we consider this conversation over?

Please don't be offended by my posts @madcapmagician, I was just making a point, not trying to demonise you! I would imagine there is even a fairly decent discsussion that could be had about what consitutes ripping off software and what consitutes fair use...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] madcapmagician:
I found my original e-mail and SPB’s reply:

Bret, perhaps I should point out that you can download SPB Clone for free from their website, as a demo version. Corporate customers, if they liked it, would then buy a licensed copy for $199.00 – I have “stolen” nothing.

Chris - As far as the ethics of posting said information in the public domain are concerned, my conscience is clear. This information is for single users, like myself. If an unscrupulous company wishes to make use of this information then it’s their ethics that are at fault, not mine.

Tintoy – I’m not offended. It was Chatty’s immediate, condescending, demeaning post that riled me. Zylograth said what I should have, instead of replying as I did:

And that’s that!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vijay555:
AFAIK I think it's still open to debate whether we discuss cracking. I'm happy to talk about cracking, but not cracks.

Odeean makes a good point that cracking and reversing is part of the education of programming; if you're a commercial developer, or would be one, it's worth knowing weaknesses and pitfalls.

People shouldn't come on here and say "wantttt - crack for thai-g" etc. That's just silly and damn lazy. If you don't know how to get warez, you should be using a Motorola, not even a Nokia. But you should be rewarding programmers, or you should understand when there aren't programmers left to program because they've all gone broke. (And I'm not just talking about cash.. we don't all program for the $$)

But if you want to learn how to crack thai-g, search, ask nicely, or learn and tell. But don't distribute cracks (at least publically). There are other boards for that, and we have enough trouble keeping this board clean enough now-a-days :(

I just bought a a c6802 from a person on Craigslist it already has the .290 firmware installed. I little confused how do you root this ? do I download grade to .532 then root ? the Bootloader is Locked

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] x2beach:
I watched that Video but your BootLoader has to be UNLOCKED and i dont want to unlock mine till i can do the TA_Backup. which requires root
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Then you will need to use flashtool to downgrade to .532 then use the offline root method, then use the TA backup tool.

Whether you will need to upgrade back to 290 before the unlocked bootloader root method, I am not sure.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
flash 532 firmware...

root using a tool

backup TA

then follow this video
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] x2beach:
when i flashed to 532 now my imei is ooo and i told it not to update baseband
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mathurmatt:
Did you flash the right firmware you lost your imei due to a wrong ftf flash back the 290 you will get back imei then flash the genric ftf which is of your region ...................I lost my imei also agter flashing a wrong ftf although many says it did'nt affect whichever region ftf you flash but it happened in my case mine was also a 6802.............
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] MEGAX91:
flash 257 or 290 FTF with flashtool will solve youre IMEI problem.

if you want to root your ZU on 4.3 you need to unlock youre bootloader but before you unlocke your bootloader first downgrade to 257 and then

downgrade to 510 ( you wont lose your IMEI ) root your ZU and get ta backup.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landous:
There is an option in SuperSU, assuming you're using that for root privileges, that can hide it from all or certain applications. It effectively disabled the ability to obtain elevated root permissions, but should allow the app to run if it's checking for a rooted phone.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talonsoes:
Hi all,

I'm desperate since I received my new microSD 64 GB (samsung).

When I try to copy pictures or videos from my old 32Gb microSD to the new one the file become corrupted and it can't be seem in the new device (the picture becomes partially blocked or becomes file not supported in any viewer). It does not happen for all the pictures, it randomly happens to a percentage of pictures and video. I'd say 60% more less.

Pictures are really OK in the former SD and when I copy those files to a external HD still OK (all can be seem perfect in the PC from the HD connected by USB). The problem appears only when I try to copy to the new SD and it only happens with the videos and pictures. I can copy to the new SD documents and APKs and files work.

I've tried almost all: format the card several times, copy from the former SD to the new SD directly, from the hrad disk to the new SD but the problem remains.

Any help please?

Thanks in advance,
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landous:
Yes, you got counterfeit/fake memory. The same thing happened to me. I bought "Samsung" branded memory on Ebay. It came in very convincing retail packaging, yet it was fake. The problem is that the memory card is most likely not a 64GB card, but it's been tampered to look like one. I have a friend at work that bought Kingston memory on Ebay as well and had exactly the same symptom.

As soon as I complained to the Ebay seller, he returned me the money and said that he was out of stock and couldn't send me any new ones... Uh-huh...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talonsoes:
uffff maybe fake too

thanks Landous.. seems I have the same problem. Microsd bought in eBay at a very reasonable price.

I'll try to format again and try to copy the pictures in lots (last opportunity) and if it doesn't work I'll send the sd back to the seller..

Thanks. . I'll keep posted here my news

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Punkiderma:
Hello! I just wanted to share this very easy modification I've made today to my S Line cover.

I like this model of cover because I think is has the best quality-price ratio.

However, since I've started using PIE controls I noticed that the borders of the cover made the swype from the edge of the screen a little less comfortable.

Also, I think the Gnex is a very comfortable phone despite is big screen size (nowadays even not that big...), but the cover adds a little bulk that make reaching some part of the screen a little hard compared to using the phone "naked".

Since I've wrongly ordered two identical S Line covers, and I don't think I will ever broke one, I decided to try this simple mod.

Using a pair of electrician scissorsi like those:

I've simply cutted off the side part of the cover (the one with the grippy texture), starting from the power button side and simply following the groove of this part of the cover:

Then, with 3 small pieces of biadhesive tape, I placed the cutted part on the other side of the cover, so I could use it as a template for cutting ( because this side of the cover doesn't have a groove around the grippy part):

Well, the cut on this side came out less accurate.

Before doing this, I was almost sure that removing the sides of the cover would have made it too loose on the phone, but after putting it on, it seems to be as stable as the normal cover.

The upper and lower front borders keep to prevent scratches on the screen when putting the phone on surfaces facing down.

Volume buttons are easier to reach and push ( and, if you want to consider the other side, to get accidentaly pushed).

The bulk on the hand is reduced, and swypes are now very very comfortable

Here's some photos:

Hope you'll like it and find it useful! I know that probably already exists cover that are made like that, but I wanted to try ;)

In the next days I'll see how it will react to normal usage (in/out the pocket...)
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akI*:
Today i changed my device (mako) from cdimage-touch to ubuntu-system.

I had to use

phablet-flash ubuntu-system --system-image-ready

because

phablet-flash ubuntu-system

gives me an error code.

So i added my contacts, pictures, videos on the device and made it writable

sudo touch /userdata/.writable_image

After that i did an apt upgrade

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

rebootet

sudo reboot

and got stucked on the google dev screen.

Im not sure what i did wrong but ubuntu isnt booting anymore, any help would be very nice :good:

P.S.: i noticed an error message after i applied the upgrade but it was to short to remember exactly what kind of it was. I saw it after i executed the

sudo reboot

above after the upgrade. The only thing i can remember was something about udev.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akI*:
I reproduced the problem. The following error appears after making the ubuntu-system writable:

Hello everyone,

I own a Microsoft Surface RT 32GB. But since i got it, it's always falling out, and when i press the on button,

it does not turn on, but after a vew times trying, it finally turns on and works perfectly fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Rinse
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
I have no idea what you mean by "it's always falling out". What is falling out of what other thing?

As for the power button, you have to press and hold it for about a second if the tablet was turned off entirely. You should also make sure it's up to date, including firmware updates, as some of those have altered the behavior of the power button.

By the way, this is a hardware thing more than an OS thing, and therefore should be in the Surface forum rather than the Windows RT forum.
[Windows RT General] ctitanic:
I would recommend you to do a refresh, that will not completely fix your issue but it will help. MS still working in a fix. Basically what's happening is that the display driver becomes unresponsive and on that stage you can't fully operational. The only way to get it back is to fully turning it off. And that's what you do when you are holding the power button for 10 seconds.

AT&T unlocked my HTC One so that I could use another sim card when traveling overseas. I was able to use my HTC One for voice and data, with the Mobifone sim card in Vietnam; however, I was not able to turn on wifi hotspot; when I tried to turn on wifi hotspot, I got the following message:

"To enable wifi hotspot, go to attwireless/..., or call 611"

This is the same message that I got before I added tethering to my AT&T plan. Any idea how I can re-enable wifi hotspot?

Thanks.

You must first unlock your bootloader and root then install a ROM like ARHD only then you can re enable or use wifi hotspot.

Guys,

On my E980, I have installed official CM-11 nightly build(s) but did not see Personalization->General setting where I could change my desktop settings (Change icon size, hide icon captions etc.). This setting was available in CM-10.2. Other than that ROM is pretty smooth.

I'm using latest PhilZ recovery.

please let me know if I need to do anything specific.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bandersnatch:
I have the tmobile MDA USA version. I am supposed to have 128 MB ROM. My device shows only 47.46 MB total storage 34.15 in use, and 13.32 free. I have SPB pocket plus, Avantgo, Agenda Fusion, and SK tools in main memory. Not many things want to go on the storage card. I am new to WM5, but I have had 3 Ipaqs so I am not a total rookie. Where is my storage, and whats hogging it up?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MeatPopSci:
the marketing blurb never said you'd have 128MB free memory. you have to account for the OS and registry plus all installed apps.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Yep... basically, depending on the ROM/ExtRom/Radio Stack, etc. installed there's...

128MB total ROM

of which

44MB is available for storage of applications/user files

the rest is the operating system, extrom, etc.

and

64MB total RAM

of which

49MB is available for running programs/ memory

the rest of which is the PIM running in the background, the phone running in the background, the radio stack running in the background, etc. All stuff that either the OEM or Microsoft decided you wouldn't want not running :)

The real issue is that there are program that dislike running from the Storage Card. Write to the developers :)

( Of course, as the persistent storage is a form of flash memory, I don't see why we're not seeing phones with 512MB or 1GB built-in yet... )
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bandersnatch:
That is kinda what I thought. It came with all the voice dial (which I am liking), and clearvue pdf (which I am not sure I need) bells and whistles. I guess I need to see what I can remove and what I can't. SD support seems to be lacking. I hear you when you say give the developers hell over it, but a lot of it is an OS issue I think.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
I don't know if that's true... accessing files, which is pretty much all you need doing, on the MiniSD card is just fine. The only problem that I'm familiar with is that the driver starts after other bits, so any applications that run on startup may have issues. That much might be the OS's fault, but it might be the OEM's fault for putting the driver initialization where it is...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bandersnatch:
Leave the technical stuff to you guys

If you look at my profile, you will know that as soon as we start getting more than 6 inches deep into the thing, I am gonna start to get in trouble. My OS comment was intuitive and a gut feeling. I have no idea if it is accurate. I kinda understand about the memory, but I am imagining it as physical substance using physical space, etc.

[Moto X Q&A] shaneaus:
I I apologize if this has been answered somewhere else. I did a couple of searches without finding an answer.

I can not get my MotoX to be a recognized device via adb. I am running Windows8 and I'm trying to get adb access to my ATT MotoX (DAMN, I wish I had a dev verstion!).

- It shows up under "other devices" as XT1058.

- It will not show up as an adb device in win8 device manager.

- I have tried different usb cables with the same result (and, different usb ports)

- I have changed the settings on Win8 to allow unsigned drivers.

- I have installed Moto Device Manager - didn't help.

- I have installed the Universal Naked drivers and "latest_usb_drivers_windows"

- I have uninstalled the device in device manager and de-selected/selected usb de-bugging and still comes up under "other devices"

- I have entered the Windows/Inf folder and deleted several inf files in an attempt to remove references to other drivers to get win8 to access the correct ones... hasn't worked so far....

Can someone please assist me in getting this thing recognized via adb?

I know fastboot is a separate issue - but, I can access fastboot so I'm fairly certain it is not a hardware issue (cable/port/etc).

------------------------------------------

Ok, I entered the folder Windows/Inf and opened up every single "oemN" file (N being the number following "oem") and deleted every file which had Android drivers... I then re-installed the Moto drivers and it worked...

Now, it says the device is "offline" - I need to research how to change THAT!

--------------------------------------

Ok, solved the "offline" issue... Updated the adb in "platform-tools" manually to 1.0.31

This caused the MotoX to FINALLY provide the pop up window to verify access to my computer's identity (which it refused to do previously).

Used this file: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1724500&d=1360704125

and copy/pasted the zip contents into the "platform-tools" folder to update the adb files.

I'm searching for a "simple" App, but can't find one.

Maybe a XDA Dev can create one!?!

In the winter it is sometimes tricky to pick up a call with swipingfrom left to right.

It would be great if there would be an app where it is possible to configure a button (e.g. 2 times Vol+) to pick up a Call.

Would be great if someone with Dev-Skills could make such an App.
