hm crazy idea: There is no O2 net reachable. thats the only reason i could think of.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] belfast-biker:
Re: M5000 unlocked, but doesn't accept o2 sim, why??????????

Do those O2 sims work in other devices, apart from the exec and the original phone they were in?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] markd66:
Just a though..... type of SIM perhaps?

AFAIK O2 only permit access to their 3G network with a USIM.

Voda permit any SIM to access their 3G network

3 only have USIMs

So maybe it's a GSM O2 SIM in a phone that's looking for a 3G signal?

Try the following:

Phone -> Settings -> Band -> Select your network type = Auto (or GSM if Auto does not work). Also ensure that GSM Band is set to EGSM+DCS1800

Cheers, Mark.

the sim cards I used are all working on normal phone.

and I have tried changing setting. it doesn't help anything.

I really don't know why.

:cry:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] markd66:
So the O2 SIMs don't work even if you have Network Type set to GSM?

How did you get Orange to unlock your phone?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fluffcat1:
Doubt it. IMEI's have to be specifically, individually blocked, they can't block a range of numbers and all use the same database in Dublin, so blocked by one = blocked by all UK providors.

M5000 Unlocked

Hi,

I got my M5000 unlocked from Orange for the O2 Sim (PAYG) and it worked fine. It's not 3G just normal GPRS connection.

What does it say when you reset the device? I'm running a ghost dual simcard with Orange/O2 and sim switcher software. The software recognises Orange but says "Invalid Sim" for O2, but it still works.

Get back onto Orange, you did pay them £20 for a service :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] marquis:
Re: M5000 Unlocked

I have tried even hard reset, it still didn't accept o2 card.

Do you mean it must run o2 with sim switcher software?

Where can I get such software?

Cheers

How do you make to unlock the SPV M500 for use with all providers ? Is there any tools to unlock the M5000 ?

I didn't find or I didn't understand how to make this :?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] yohanson:
M5000 Unlock

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay, been off line a couple of days.

First of all marquis the phone should work on all networks without the sim changing software, the software just saves you from reseting the phone everytime you need to change networks. I got the software from www.wivit.com and it's called "Sim Status Switcher" works great.

One thing I remember from orange saying when I got my phone unlocked was that you had to insert the other network sim and only had one chance at entering the code.

Lonlyboy2003, the number for Orange UK customer services is 00447802092150, I don't know if they'll be able to help as you need to be a registed customer and have a contract with them, but it's worth a go!

trmkwm, you need to phone Orange and for £20 GBP they will send you an unlock code for your phone.

Hope that helps

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaktrot:
Could someone please direct me to the file in the manta source code what decides if the tablet should be charging or not?

I am trying to learn how to do some kernel hacking, and would like to start with a simple project.

I just got a Nexus 10 for Christmas, and I love it. I got a powered OTG cable and usb hub. Keyboard, mouse, and gamepad work flawlessly in CM, but the Nexus doesn't charge while I'm using them. I also have an Atrix 2, which I'm not very fond of, but it charges just fine under the same setup. The source for the Atrix 2 isn't available, so I got the source code for the Droid Bionic which I believe is close to identical if it's not the same phone. Once upon a time, I knew how to code, and I want to re-learn. I have plenty of manuals laying around.

What I'd like to do is re-compile the kernel with better behavior for OTG. I want it to check for incoming voltage, and AC charge if it sees it.

The only problem is that I'm completely unfamiliar with the kernel and system sources. I see the source for manta here:

(woops! Can't post links. Github. android_kernel_samsung_manta)

and the Droid Bionic here:

(Ditto. Sourceforge. droidbionic)

I was hoping someone could tell me whereabouts in the CM code it actually detects that a USB cable has been plugged in, and decides what actions to take. I can look back and forth between the two and sort it out, and learn a bit about how it's plumbed together. Additional commentary on how I should proceed would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha-ro:
First of all, sorry if my question is one of many repetitions, but i just want to make sure i'm doing all well

So, a week ago, i decided to stop flashing custom roms since i never got satisfied with any of them...mainly because i always lose some of the samsung goodies such as smart stay, Settings Menu Layout or even if the included stock samsung camera were missing the default 'long-press to multiple shots' ability. So i'll keep the stock S3 JB 4.1.2 rom, but i installed siyah kernel to have more control over the low-system settings.

At an initial point, i thought that my phone would be safe if i didn't play with several custom/aosp roms everyday..., but i've encountered many apps that say they could break or bootloop my device, so i don't want to live a 'don't touch anything' life because i think that would be really boring and i just want to get my S3 to my very own 'best' state.

Now, the last (well, the ONLY) time i tried to make a nandroid backup, i was using the philz_touch_5.06.1 recovery for GT-i9300, but...since then, i'm afraid of nandroid backups...

The problem is that the phone got into bootloop, but for me it was ridiculous, because that happened JUST AFTER the completion of the backup, i admit that i before i went into the custom nandroid backup settings and checked the option 'backup /preload'..., do u think that was the problem? i feel like every noob that ticks something without even knowing what is it about..., forgive me plz.

Now, my phone is working ok, but i would like to make a full backup (including kernel if possible) just without getting into bootloop, so, what would you recommend? swithing back to the original CWM? which options may i disable/enable before making the backup?

I would test it by myself, but i'm afraid of having to reinstall everything again...

Ahh, and just another question..., i got a 32gb microsd Class 10, so i would like to use 'ExtSd2InternalSd' solution to automatically install big games and other involved things to the extSd and leave the IntSd just to record FullHd and maybe, a litte bit of swap, would this procedure break the corresponding External/Internal Sd/storage in Philz? (or CWM : P). For example, i don't know if after this, i would try to format the internal sdcard and philz would just format the external one...

So, here are my system specs:

ROM: (Stock) I9300UBEMH2_I9300UVOEMH1_ARO (from Argentina)

Android version: 4.1.2

Kernel: Siyah Kernel 1.9.1

Recovery: philz_touch_5.06.1-i9300

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha-ro:
Thanks! It worked, i've made a full backup to external sd and then restored it, the phone (at least within the same rom) boots ok :)

[General Questions and Answers] AnttiV:
Hi, I have - or more specifically, my dad has - a rather uncommon problem (at least that I've noticed): Skin is too dry/hard/tough for most touchscreens.

--> tl;dr: Is there a screen protector/other thing that can enhance the screen touch sensitivity? <--

Long version:

I bought myself a Moto Defy some years ago (when it was released) and though I'd give it to my dad, who back then was using a Samsung Xcover non-smart phone. He needs a durable device, because there's too many "accidents" where the phone just lands *somewhere*. Anyway, he wanted a smartphone and I thought Defy would be a good choice. Alas, that didn't go well as it just refused to register his touch in any way, shape or form if he didn't lick his fingers beforehand. Yeah, weird. My SGS2 worked, but obviously that wasn't a phone for him. I ended up giving that Defy to my oldest child. After various tests, I bought a Galaxy XCover for him and it worked... adequately. Not brilliantly, and not always, but it worked. But as you know, the first XCover is a rather limited device, even for basic use. The memory on it is ridiculously small for today's applications, and it fills up with only Facebook + Whatsapp + Hangouts installed. So out the window it goes (well, not literally, dumbdumb :laugh: ) finally, after serving faithfully for over two years. I bought him a XCover 2 (the newer/red version that has that nice rubbery back) and he likes it a lot more than the old one. Problem is, that screen is not as sensitive as in the first one (or some other reason, I don't know really) and it rarely registers his thumb at all and the rest of the fingers just barely. If he moistens his fingers before using the phone, there is no problem.

Also, I remember back when I bought my first HTC Desire (the original, AMOLED one) the screen was quite smooth and "glidy" and after I bought a ZAGG InvisibleSkin, the touch improved much. The skin gave it a liiiiitle more feel and "resistance" (not really, I just don't know the right word) and I felt like it was a much better user experience with that skin.

So, the question is: Is there a screen-overlay-thingy specifically engineered for this kind of application, or should I just buy a regular ZAGG skin for the device and hope it improves the touch? As he likes the phone and I can't figure out any other phones with features needed for him, I'm willing to pay for the overlay so it doesn't need to be the cheapest out there, and I'm not looking for those cheap ebay-chinese 10pcs-for-€1 -screen protectors (that admittedly work for the purpose of protecting the screen, but they rarely improve the feel of the device...)

ps. I'm not averse to tinkering, so if there's a perfectly viable product, but for another device, I'm willing to go that route and modify it for the XCover 2, if it is indeed possible (obviously not possible for the tempered glass products, for example).

Hi.

Accidentally dropped my s3 i9300 ( ofcaurse at day when i don't had lifeproof on in ) and front screen has a one crack from top to the bottom.

Im ok with replace it by self together with video from xda user http://goo.gl/120AwW

This was created in 2012. I wont to ask you noob questions:

1. Is this the best way to replace it?

2 . Do i have to replace digitize or only front glass ?

3. Which glass/screen is the best to buy as replacement ? ( is possible to buy better then original - like for s4 or better ? )

Thank You for any help.

Yes but u ve to be very careful when u remove your broken screen. Make sure you get the screen hot enough without frying yr lcd. What u are replacing is only the glass, the digitizer is a film glued on the lcd.careful not to lift it up when remmoving yr glass also be careful of the flex cable for menu and back button. Never start from bottom. One thing for sure yr phone will be the same again as the original does not have a gap between the glass and the lcd it is filled with glue.Its better to buy the complete assembly from aliexpress cost abt $90US.

As I am an htc one s user, I have spent countless hours doing research on just about everything.

If you have any other useful thread you think would be important for beginners to see (mainly fixing issues as I myself have not experienced many), do let me know and I will try my best to make a concise page summing everything up. In the mean time, here is what I have...

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] GuestK00243:
I haven't worked on this in a while however to resolve your issue can you try the below solutions:

1. Edit an existing APN setting and change the settings to your provider settings (works 99% of the time)

or

2.Create an new APN setting name only and save it without setting any preferences - then open it again and you should be able to set and save the settings! (works 100% of the time)

or

3.Root the device - APN editing can be locked on some devices if not rooted

Ever hear the saying beggars cant be choosers.. ;)

I did further research and it appears that the search & google now apps are being detected as widgets.. not entirely sure why, If I have time to dig a layer deeper I will..

My suggestion is to try manually editing the wapplist.xml and changing the search & now entry's.. or simply adding two additional new ones which will point to the apps themselves.

On another note this method actually allows other custom widgets to be used on the touchwiz launcher also, which is pretty cool.. I know it worked fine for zooper widget... I dont see why it wouldnt work for others also !
