I have had an SPVM5k since November. I have put up with missed calls, poor signal strength, memory issues, slow downs etc like the rest of us, whilst eagerly awaiting the new Orange ROM, which was going to solve all my woes. Having upgraded, I now have a great converged pocket PC, that just misses calls. It makes calls OK, it just misses incoming calls. Occasionally it will ring instantaneously, with no delay. At other times it will give one ring only, and my caller complains that I never answer my phone. I have hard reset, I have removed all software except PI, I have selected GSM only, and extended the ring time to 30secs before voicemail. My next plan is to have the first barbecue of the season, with the M5k as the main course. Any suggestions before I get the charcoal out?
[Hardware Hacking General] Robcis:
Hello people. I have a question regarding connecting a usb dongle to a tablet. I'm not a developer and I'm not a hardware expert either so easy with the terms. :laugh:

I saw a thread where Bhaskar1109 explained how to connect a dongle to any Android tablet but it required root access and that's not something that everyone can manage.

So the question is; is it possible to set up a specific dongle model in cooperation with a specifically designed Android app to get it working without any fuss?

I would really appreciate your replies.

Thanks,

Rob
[Hardware Hacking General] karlsdroids:
It may depend on your tablet. I've got a tab 2 and I can just plug the dongle in and go.

Click the menu key that is to the far right on the same row as 'APN' and add your APN settings from there.

[Moto X Q&A] maxminzer:
That's the problem. There is no way to add anything there.

The only option is "Reset to Default" which, when you do it, does nothing.
[Moto X Q&A] maxminzer:
I learned from tech department (after 1 week of talking, calling and researching) that it is 100% that Moto X has defected software if it doesn't have any APNs or options to add them. I had to have APNs from Verizon and I had none. Talk to Motorola to try to replace the device. They got you and me defected software devices.
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
The OP flashed Verizon firmware on a non Verizon Moto X. I highly doubt Motorola cares that an option is missing. They will generally want you run firmware and hardware that matches.
[Moto X Q&A] mailxd:
I have the same problem with a stock Verizon Moto X (cannot add APN). The phone works when I plug in att sim, but I hope I can set APN as I know some foreign sim can't work without setting APN.

I saw that with a previous phone, there is discussion about Verizon blocking APN setting. Does this apply to Moto X? Does the solution also apply?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] talktosamson:
I'm starting this thread in hopes some people will read this and realize some of the issues they may be having with slow charging are actually hardware related and not rom related. I had my phone preordered which meant I got one of the earlier models, whether or not this makes a difference, I don't know but it's worth mentioning.

I tried many different cables, and charging units as well as the white OEM 2.0A charger and white cable that came with the phone. Same result everytime. 6-8 hour charge time from 10% to full. Even worse with my gorilla gadgets 6200mA battery. Anyways, I looked into the issue and found some apps that would report the charging mA value. Mine was always reporting 1698 from the stock charger/cable, and variances around that from others. Not the same issues others were having reporting low numbers and whatnot, so I began to think the issue was deeper rooted than the battery/chargers.

I took the plunge and contacted Samsung via the chat system on there website. I explained everything to the tech. He said I would need to factory reset before we could go any further. I jumped through his hoops and got a service ticket and free shipping. I restored my phone to stock and sent it in hoping they wouldn't find some sort of damage and claim it was my fault. I've kept the phone in an otterbox the entirety of it's life and take care of my stuff. I should also add that I bought the phone the end of Nov and they said I was under warranty. Not how that worked, but I'm glad they said it was.

I've now received confirmation that they replaced 3 components(via the online ticket system).

Just wanted to put this out there to add the wealth of info available, because I figure someone might find this useful.

I just noticed after today's update of Motorola Assist, that I no longer have an option to select the Driving Assist function. Has anyone else experienced this?

FIX - I was wrong. I had frozen "Motorola Contextual Services" using TiBu, which was causing the issues.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] DeadEagle:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordTough91:
I received a Text message sent from an E-Mail and I was wondering if it was possible to find the individual file on the filesystem holding the metadata for the E-Mail.

If so, would I have to root the phone? And where would that file be located?

I'm a techie, so no need to warn me that I could hurt my phone or files - I'm only looking to READ, not WRITE, and I'd be making a copy of that file beforehand anyways and porting it to a PC in order to check it with whatever program is necessary to decrypt (Probably only need a hex editor, but if someone knows better, feel free to pass that information along, too :P)

Anyways, is it possible?

Thank you for your time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can get access to system files by using a file manager. To edit files, you need to root your phone.

If it is *.txt attachment that was attached in that mail, go to downloads and look for it. :p

Now, serious. Why so serious? :p

If you are looking to decompile that mail app, use APKTOOL to decompile. Search on xda for the links. :good:

The apk file can be found on the device in: /system/app/ here

If the apk file is odexed, then you have to first deodex it to make it as one apk file Search on xda for the tutorials. :good:

If you are asking to decrypt mails, ask NSA :laugh: :laugh: :silly:

I am a newbie here. So I don't know where that file is located exactly.

Press thanks if I have helped you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FordTough91:
Just to reiterate, the person sent me a TEXT. I open my text app and I read their text. I want to find the file containing that exact text. (Extra info, info you don't really need to know and MAY have confused you: The text was sent via an E-Mail... Meaning they logged into their E-Mail, typed my phone number, and my phone received a TEXT from that E-Mail address straight to my SMS inbox). I'm not sure if I was clear enough on that. But I am trying to open an SMS sent straight to my phone AS IF from another phone.

What did you mean why so serious? I'm just trying to seem professional in my question. Hate to confuse people. Also: Decrypying a file should a) not be necessary, but MAY be (still highly doubt it), and B) Does not require NSA lol. I can do it myself, and if not, I've got a buddy who could do it for sure. But ALL I'M TRYING TO GET is the "metadata" from the SMS that'll HOPEFULLY give me the metadata for the E-Mail.

Thanks for your time.

I think I have found a solution to your problem.

This is the absolute path to SMS and MMS DB on most android devices:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kricketmaster:
I ran into troubles when I was trying to upgrade my cwm to 6.0.4.4 from 6.0.3.3 running Wild For The Night

So I restored my phone to Rooted Stock FL24. From that point I followed every step going back into Wild For The Night, including El29 Directboot to flash the rom. I have followed multiple tutorials to the T and can't seem to get past the splash screen.

So here is where I am at now:

I am back to the Stock Epic 4G Touch Rooted FL24 from rjwilco's website.

My phone is sitting at the home screen, awaiting its return to Wild For The Night, which was my fabulous Daily Driver.

Now if I could, I'd like to get CWM 6.0.4.4, and help getting to CM with KitKat. If not, I'd just like to at least get back to Wild For The Night and stick with that. Now, I do have a backup of my original running of wild for the night with my user apps, etc. I have tried restoring that after getting to certain points of what I thought would be success, but none the less I am left stuck at the splash screen.

If anyone could be of assistance, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks!

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richiekie:
i installed 10.1 and upgraded to 10.2 on my nook hd. I downloaded the cm 11 recovery and cm11 rom and gaps to my nook to upgrade to kitkat. After i downloaded the cm 11 to my nook, the updater took me to recovery. i installed the cm 11, but then had problems. I realized that I was using the cm 10 recovery , and should have installed the cm 11 recovery before I attempted to flash the new rom. I then wrote verygreen's sd card image for cm11 and it did boot into recovery. when i tried to install the rom, the device said it couldn't mount the sd card. i tried using the cm 10 recovery image and that didn't work either. same message, couldn't mount sd card. I then formatted cache, data, boot, did another wipe and same issue. currently, it takes a long time but the nook hd will boot into cm recovery, but same issue about not able to mount sd card. I checked similar threads for other devices, but I couldn't find any solutions. I called barnes and noble customer assistance and they were totallyuseless. My question is how do i get recovery to mount my sd card?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dingo BamBam:
ditto

I had the same issue on my nook hd-

When I wrote the image to the sd card- I could boot in to CWM 6.0.4.6, from that sd card- but it could not mount the sd card, or find any files on it. so I couldn't flash the emmc version. When I pulled that sd card out, it reverted back to cwm 6.0.3.2 (which worked fine with cm10.1) but again, it still can't find the sd card.

/sdcard is the internal sd and while is mounted and navigatable, it's blank and there's nothing to install from it. (is there a way to copy to it from some other device?)

the other option is to install a zip from /storage/sdcard1 but that does nothing but pop up

I've been following and using the info in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2600572

I've used both a linux machine with dd and a windows machine with Win 32 disk imager for flashing images.

I've tried a variety of file systems (does anyone know what is the preferred file system for a grossly oversized micro sd card for CM11?).

I've tried to find a newer better version of CWM, and have found references to a 6.0.4.5b but haven't actually found the files yet.

have also tried sideloading with adb, but the device is never found. with either version of cwm

Would be ok moving back to cm10 as well, but as long as it can't find a SD card, I don't know how.

love this little device, would greatly appreciate any assistance.

-dingo
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dingo BamBam:
continued

after much banging of my head against the wall, I discovered that if i let it boot to the 6.0.3.2 on its own, it would let me mount the sd card that had the initial image written onto it.

So i loaded the new cwm zip and flashed it.

pulled the sd card out and had to let it reboot on its own 4 or 5 times before it popped up emmc CWM based recovery 6.0.4.6

..which then let me mount the sd card as /external_sd and I was able to flash the latest cm11 nightly (yes, I'm a glutton for punishment).

I've pulled the sd card out and rebooted...

AND IT'S BOOTING!!!!

...this is awesome.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richiekie:
Success

i changed sd cards and downloaded the recovery, rom, and gapps on the new card. Recovery was able to mount the new card and I got everything installed. Initially recovery aborted the rom installation, so I downloaded another cm10.1 and was able to flash it. So everything is good now.

Hey all, now with the recent 4.3 update that locked the bootloader, i'm afraid of accidentally updating if i ever have to odin. So i have (ics build) VRALF2 MD5, and a VRALEC.bootchain MD5 files. If i use them to odin back to stock, i would be on an ics build, and i would have to update to at least 4.1 to use the casual root method, but if i do update, i will jump to 4.3 and then get a locked bootloader. Where can i find the jellybean versions to odin with, that can get me out of a soft brick? Thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
Are you already took the OTA update? meaning you're running 4.3 right now? if you do, you can't flash anything else except for stock 4.3 rom and with the option to root your 4.3 (you can not flash back to the older version or any custom rom/kernel) .On 4.3 the bootloader is locked and nothing you can do for now. There's safestrap method to get around the locked bootloader but I don't recommend it for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joedajoester:
I never took the update, i rooted 4.1.2 and put cm10 on it, and cm11 now. Im just afraid if i ever have to odin i will have to dig deep to find a root method for the old ics build and im not sure if the latest cwm will even work with it. Either way, it just seems like a lot of work, when i could just odin back to jellybean, root, and rom. Thanks for the speedy reply :)
