[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maurice5813:
No, it wont work until you flash it to a provider in your country. Sense the phone was activated in another country, your not going to be able to use networking because the provider is out of range. Also if you get signal, and the provider from the phone's country has retail stores in your country, then the networks in your country could be blocking your phone from receiving networking, sense its using a different area code, ip,etc.

You best bet is going to your local service provider and getting the for unlocked or flashed to that service. They will give you a new SIM card and everything should work awesome:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ah.khiang:
Hi, thanks for your reply, i would like to flash it, but the problem is i can't get any rom/custom rom for Lenovo S696 ...

I did try go to the local operator office, but they can't get my phone work either ... :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarry86:
You have to root your phone first using SRS Root application, then install an application from Play Store that called HiAPN Global, use that to set your default APN settings, about "Unknown Type Card" just rename your sim card to a desired carrier.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ah.khiang:
Hi thanks for reply, i will try it as you mention above later, because the phone is sent to lenovo local service center for help. i hope its works

No idea if I'm in the right section.

I am using an Note 2 for a few month and now I was interested in installing a messenger. I knew before that I would never use whatsapp because it is copying your contacts list and that is something I don't like.

So I was looking around and it seems, virtually every messenger wants to have my phone number or access to my contacts list.

It is really annoying when someone ask me "do you have whatsapp / do you have line messenger" and I all I can reply is "no, I would be forced to give out my phone number and/or send all my contact to some faceless major corporation"

Now you would ask "why did you get an android phone in the first place?", well... because my 3 year old phone felt very slow (1 touch on an icon, wait 1-2 seconds until something happened) and very restricted with audio and video support.

The hardware on this new phone is just perfect, no complaints at all. I also never registered to google play and have no plans in ever doing so.

So why is every messenger so interested in my personal information? I don't want to share this. Is there an alternative that is not so interested in your personal information?

I am on the internet since 2000 and haven't given my phone number to any company since, why should I start now?

I won't.

Answer

If you don't want to give your phone number to any applications,

then you better say that you don't have a online chat/message service installed

There are apps available online to make a lock in whatsapp so that no one can view it except you.

Hello all,

For the 2nd time in 3 years I have bricked my phone. I was using Cyanogen 7.2 in the past and today I have decided to try MIUI.

After a flash i was geting reboot before Android was loaded to I decided to install the base OS.

Installed RSDLite5.6 -- shashed one of the oficial Andro for version 2.2.1 I think (closed page and I don't have it in front now) and device is all dead.

I know in the past I have flashed a chinese ROM and was working again...rooted and all of that but I can't find a download link for a ROM to do this.

I am not shure how to proceed also.

Can you guys help me, it will be much apreciated.

I can't flash a custom rom now because I don't have recovery. The only thing I can do with my phone is to enter download mode.

As far as I know I have to:

- flash a new room that I can use it to boot device and work on it.

- root device and install recovery

- install cooked rom

My problem is that I don't know what to flash so that I can boot my phone --- now it is in the dead phase :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
You have to flash an sbf, not a ROM(that's what you will flash once you get back recovery). Read the defy beginners guide to get the steps. Basically:

Get sbf (search and download)

Get rsdlite and Motorola USB drivers

Flash it (from boot loader mode)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marius.roibu:
As mentioned already I have flashed sbf with RSDLite and still in trouble. Please point me to a correct sbf file to use. This is what I need

Go Santa!

Christmas is coming and aren't you XDA guys waiting for something christmas special? Oh I have just the news for you! As titled there's a new game by GameEon titled 'Go Santa!' on PlayStore.

It is a side scroller game with delicious graphics and has a simple concept: Santa gifting kids! Controls are also pretty simple, touch lower left of the screen to jump, touch lower right of the screen to walk.

So much simplicity and unique concept of Santa having a list of children from A to Z is just simply amazing. For this launch version there are names from A to I and in updates there will be more levels with different names.

Following are the levels:

★Alice: Cute little girl is the first one on Santa's list to give gifts to!

★Ben: Ben has demanded 5 gifts from Santa

★Cindy: Cindy requested 10 gifts from Santa Claus and is eagerly waiting for him. Santa finds her the cutest of all kids!

★Derek: Derek is suffering from cancer and has prayed to God that this Christmas Santa should gift him 20 gifts. Santa is more than glad to help bring a smile on Derek's face

★Emma: Emma demands 40 gifts from Santa this Christmas. Santa just can't refuse her demand.

★Flynn: Flynn has been waiting every Christmas for Santa to come and so his list of gifts has increased. He demands 50 gifts!

★Gail: Gail has some really innocent dreams and has written to Santa about them. Santa is on his way to make Christmas more special for her!

★Harry: Harry is a sporty kid and has high demands. 90 gifts!

★Ivy: A 100 gifts for Ivy will make Christmas special for her.

Collect gifts, collect candies, beware of pumpkins, stay away from mimes and go through an interesting level design for each level.

This game will definitely make your Christmas more special

Denise, my wife was a fun loving person but, for 2 years ago she got her psoriasis disease. It has broken out of one on the other day and no one knows why.

It has become so bad that they can barely walk. Her hands and fingers are affected. Depending on the load burst onto the finger and foot and start to bleed. Likewise, her complete head is affected and the psoriasis is partially 5mm thick.

It looks as if her head with a thick layer of stone coated.

She was already with many doctors and hospitals but nothing has help her.

The only thing that helps is our holiday in Spain by the sea. After the 2 weeks holiday, her skin looks so much better.

After we told them our doctor, he just said, "then they have to emigrate to Spain, if they want to get rid of their disease!"

It's really sad what the doctors say one instead of helping correct.

Of course we can not even emigrate just to Spain;)

For this reason, she remain only two possibilities:

1. longer make a holiday in Spain like 6 weeks

2. go to a special clinic, which is not covered by health insurance.

For both options, we do not have the money to do so.

I would like to send my wife to the special clinic, since it has focused on the psoriasis disease.

The cost of the stay in the hospital are about 4500 €.

For more Infos and Pictures look here.

If you want to help my wife and bring the fun loving person back, then donate something to support.

controllin psoriasis

Hi Chris,

I have had psoriasis for 20 years now but for the last 2 years I have been able to keep it under control. My heart goes out to your wife who has a very sever case of psoriasis. I have had 2 extremely severe outbreaks in my life where it covered over 90% of my body, but thankfully I am in a lot better place now.

By the way my doctor told me to moved to a Mediterranean country too, and guess what... I did! But even though my skin did improve a small bit I still couldnt get it under control until I did the following

1. sorted out my diet

2. added some supplements to rectify my nutrient deficiencies

3. make a few minor changes to my lifestyle to control my stress levels.

anyways I have a psoriasis blog over at bestdietforpsoriasis dot com where you can find exactly the 8 steps I took to get my psoriasis under control. I hope it can offer some inspiration to you and Denise.

thanks for reading and happy new year.

Best Regards,

John Redfern

After failure, keep Universal connected to PC (with weak visible USB screen) and just retry to flash after soft reset of Universal. Use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe in flash directory on PC to start. I sometimes have to restart MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe if no luck with flashing and to reflash radio only if Universal is stuck after flash. Good luck. NB. I flashed my MDA Pro succesfully this night after several retries and it is faster, better now.

I run in the same problem, the procedure bellow help me to solve the problem ...

1. Make sure your i-mate™ device is not Connected to the PC and remove the dummie card or SD/MMC card

2. On your Desktop PC, open Microsoft ActiveSync, then go to File > Connection Settings > Remove the Selection from “Allow USB Connection with this desktop computer”

3. Reconnect your i-mate device to the Desktop PC using the USB Cradle and the Charger MUST be Connected to the Cradle (Don’t use the IrDA or Bluetooth for the Upgrade)

4. Run the Upgrade again and it will work fine without any problems.

Fingers crossed to work with you as well..

type (dont copy&paste):

set 14 0

then reboot Universal.

it should boot normally.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dah54:
Have you tried the various ways to reboot the universal?

Like holding down the two white dashes on the top of the keypad, while pressing the reset button?

Just a thought, but somewhere here is at least three different ways to wake up the JasJar. And reset plus power is not one of them. Note don't expect to get a screen light anymore. Any way that you might have access to a charge battery? If you allow the battery to fully discharge it can be hard to restart the charging process, your battery might just be uncharged.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] dude_super:
The battery was fully charged when it died, and i have tried all the ways said on the forum to get it to wake up again, i think it was the error i got when it was flashing the rom and stoped half way through
