Only on notification panel is changeable to transparent but the statusbar cant:confused::confused:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
are you talking about the status bar or status bar expanded

status bar is where all the icons such as battery signal data icons are - this can be made transparent using the evo app

open evo app

ui settings

status bar

set background color

slide the slider to set level of transparency

press new color to apply

status bar expanded is the area where the notifications are when you pull down the status bar - I belive that is transparent anyway
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] oneFixie:
Hi Community,

I have a massive problem and I hope you can help me.

I rooted my HTC One X successfully and tried to flash custom roms on it which kind of worked. I put the zip folder on the internat sd card and flashed it without flashing the boot.img.

Finnaly I found out to do that, flashed the boot.img but while installing the ROM the problem code/status 7 appeared and I had to restart the phone in order to put the right rom onto the phone, which i had on my computer.

But while booting, the phone just got stuck in bootloop showing the HTC logo.

I already tried quite a lot of stuff to rescue my phone, for example to restore the nandroid backup - didnt work, flash another backup onto phone - still bootloop, flashed a new rom with boot.img - still bootloop.

The only solution i could find was to unroot the device and flash the stock rom onto it.

Is that really my last resort or is there another way?

Thanks for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] PsyOr:
Just to make sure,

When installing a app (after confirm its permissions) - the persmissions like "contact", "calls", etc (all kind of permissions) - are disabled to the dev once I delete the app or he always have access to my info (at permissions) OR at the time I've download the app he have access to the permissions until I delete it and all the permissions are disable?

Usually this information/permissions are availabe to the dev automatically once I install the app or he need manualy to get into this informations?

Thanks!

Anyone have any idea about that?

Just additional question - If I force stop the app, will it still have access to my data (permissions) or only if its running?

Greetings!

In an attempt to move to default (factory) version of android I've formatted the previously installed CyanogenMod compeltly (cache, system, etc.) but when i try to flash the stock ROM (downloaded from Huawei website) it gives an error of "Installation Failed."

Can anyone plz tell me what should i do now to fix this problem?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] madcowz:
Hi,

I have had a search to see if this has been covered before but maybe I am using the wrong query.

I have an O2 Exec with the latest O2 Rom, and now when I do an email send and receive, the GPRS connection stays up. Whereas I could have sworn in the earlier ROM it disconnected after the send/receive.

I spoke to O2 and they assured me that it is supposed to do that, and since I only get charged for actaul data transfer, I can sit connected to GPRS all day for free (is this correct).

Now, my main question is. Say GPRS is up and connected, and I turn on WIFI or plug into my PC using the charger/sync cable and then do a send and receive. Will the Exec use these free connections or still route data over the GPRS?

I did a test and it looked as though when I did this, the GPRS connection was shut down, as after a send/receive and then disable WIFI, the connection setting showed a large U and not the connected icon.

I am now sitting with a GPRS connection active, email is set to manual and I have Pocket Weather set to 'Auto update on connection' and 'Auto update on Active Sync', but 'Use connection manager' is disabled as is 'Force a connect when not available'.

Should this mean that no data is used at all and that I can sit connected at no cost.

Sorry for the long rambling post, but I am a complete newbie to all this GPRS pda thing.

regards,

/Mad

related question - how to stop gprs connecting automatically

My wifi router at home is dodgy and sometimes the signal drops - this means my exec switches over automatically to GPRS (I'm not in a 3G area) and starts whacking up a big data bill before I realise. Is there anyway of getting it to ask me if I want to connect to GPRS - rather than it just telling me thats what its doing? Can't turn the phone off cos I still need to receive calls.

I did think of just scarmbling my connection settings, but now I've upgraded to the latest O2 rom the connections settings page does not show any existing connections! (I also can't get TomTom to run at all now but I guess I'll work through that one :-( )

Thanks,

I believe this is what you are looking for. Y

ou can set which connections programs use for thier internet access in Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced, Select Networks.

Choosing My Work Network or My ISP should stop programs sucking up your money.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] webbyfoot:
Thanks PReDiToR I've tried that but it then gives me a 'cannot connect' popup instead of using the wifi - it seems as if there has to be an accessible gprs connection for it to ignore before it will try wifi :-o

What does everyone else do? Maybe you're all rich or the company pays for your data?

Thanks

Any luck yet with the GPRS / WiFi issue?? I have got the same problem
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] webbyfoot:
Derrr...

EDIT: Hey I've just read what I've written below and its exavctly what Preditor suggested - funny didn't work when I tried ........ I guess it was because I was trying 'My ISP' without gprs settings - which complained - whereas 'My Work Network' without gprs settings allows the wifi to connect ... :?

I've now got a workaround for this - means going through the menus every time I DO want GPRS data - but thats rare till I get a better contract which will have to wait till my 12 months with O2 is up in November.. web'n'walk sounds good - unlimited gprs :-o - (could T-Mobile really tell when I was using my XDa as a modem for my laptop - which is forbidden in the terms of this contarct - and when I was just usng data for its own programs - which is allowed ??)

Anyway what I do is settings>connections>advanced>Select Networks> choose My Work Network for programs connecting to the internet. I have no gprs settings in My Work Network but it connects to wifi no problem.

So when I forget and I'm out of wifi range I get an error that it can't connect, so change the setting back to 'MY ISP' and GPRS kicks in.

A Today Screen shortcut to the Network Management screen would help - but I'm almost always using wifi so I haven't bothered.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d41:
Hello,

I was able to root my SGSII GT-I9100T using Clockworkmod. I then proceeded to flash Android KitKat but during that procedure, my phone displayed an error with the emmc (or something like that) and the installation was aborted. I can get onto the Recovery screen but I can't get any further, i.e. I can't get to my apps, messages etc.

I do not have a backup of prior to the error in the flash. The top of the screen I am able to see says: CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.2-Siyah. I have wiped my data and cache with no luck. Everytime I reboot, it goes back to the same screen.

Also, I am with Vodafone Australia, and they do not appear to have a downloadable stock ROM.

I want to get my phone back to prior to rooting, obviously with the default settings (but this doesn't matter).

What should I do? Am I able to repair it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yes, you're able to repair it easily. If you don't have any backup, doing a wipe from recovery (which can sometimes fix this) isn't an option for you because obviously you'll lose data if you wipe. I'm also thinking perhaps you've flashed the wrong version of Siyah; you could always re-read (or read) the Siyah threads on here to make doubly sure you've flashed the correct build for your Android version (I don't remember which is which, been ages since I've used Siyah), and if it is a case of you having flashed the wrong build, flashing the right build might well solve your problem & give you a rooted phone. You could also find the PhilZ thread on here, read it, and flash that which should also help you to achieve that aim.

But...if you really want to go back to where you were before you started...

Download a stock rom for Voda AU from Samfirmware (Doesn't matter which one, up to you. You'll need to sign up in order to do so), and flash it following the instructions in the thread titled 'Flash Stock firmware/ROM...' stickied near the top of Q&A.

If you're unable to get a successful Odin flash/or it fails for whatever reason, find Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' guide stickied in the General section & try the stuff in that thread, which should enable you to get through any issues & get a successful Odin flash which will take your phone back to the state it was in before you attempted to root it.

Normally flashing a one part stock rom like this won't involve data loss, but there are never any water-tight guarantees.

Edit - For future reference, if you ever decide to mod your phone even slightly, always back everything up before you do anything. Don't be like the 95% of people on here who do this & then end up in the **** because they didn't back stuff up. The reality is, if you're going to mod, stuff goes wrong eventually for everyone (as you've just found out).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d41:
Thank you, I will attempt to flash a stock from that website.

Just to clarify, I first installed CWM (not the Siyah version), and that was working fine. I was able to boot and do whatever. I then proceeded to flash an Android KitKat ROM but this resulted in an error. I then flashed Siyah (which may have made it worse) because from what I read at the time, it could have fixed my problem. So it must have been from the ROM, whether it be my phone being not compatible with it etc., rather than the wrong version of Siyah (although, as I said before, it could have made it worse).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep, rom incompatibility. Siyah stopped being developed with ICS, so won't work with KK roms; kernels need to be compatible with the Android version of the rom in question.

Doing what you did is no drama usually, worst case result is normally what happened to you I.E bootloop which won't go away without going back to stock, unless you get a bad flash. It's actually a good learning experience, because now you'll know how to recover if you flash stuff in future ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d41:
I managed to flash the stock version and thankfully, my phone is back to 'normal'. Luckily I always had intentions on resetting it to factory settings. Indeed it has been a good learning experience :good: Thanks for your help, MistahBungle.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Supercharger1970:
Hi everyone.

I'm new in here (Been recommended to ask here about my problem) ;)

I have bought a used Note 3 (4month old) in mint condition, but have these problems.

This boot fine up and showing samsung logo and animation, but the window where to type the PIN code often not coming up. the phone restart again. again. Only way to stop it is to remove the battery.

Sometimes i can see the PIN code window flashing up and dissapear. in a rare situation i can quickly enter the code and press OK. then the phone continue to main window and seems working normally.

I have sent the phone to warranty repair, but they say the phone was routed by custom software and the warranty is "broken". they can repair, but only to replace the HW and this will cost DKK 2500.- :(

and the seller i bought the phone is not accesible or dissapeared. only good thing is the phone is NOT stolen :good:

My hope you have good idea's to cure the booting problem on my Note 3. :)

Thank you for your helps

Best regards

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colide:
Did you try to flash/wipe data in Recovery mode ?

You will turn the phone on by holding Power button + Home button + Volume Up at the same time.

Flash/wipe data there, so you will be back to factory settings.

There are other solutions. No need for panic.

You rule mate!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Thankfully Samsung have a secondary bootloader. The picture you displayed is secondary bootloader, if the flash fails there then you are looking at a brick, not a soft brick but a true paperweight...

You can also forget Kies, since the MJ3 bootloader Kies doesn't recognise the Note 3....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
I recall once upon a time it was very easy to brick Samsung phones over Odin. Did things change lately? Are later firmwares/phones more foolproof than before as much as HTC are?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Since the Samsung Galaxy S I can safely say it has a secondary bootloader, maybe before but I started on the Samsung galaxy tab7(1st edition) which was an enlarged Galaxy S. If you used Heimdall you'd see it has a file called SBL - secondary bootloader.

It gives you 2 chances to stuff up completely though if you do flash the wrong firmware - for different device - then you overwrite the secondary bootloader and essentially brick your device...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
So what conditions can occur to brick the phone?

- damaged/wrong firmware?

- power failure while flashing?

- Or?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
All the above but if you have the pictured screen on the device you have a final chance to flash correctly... This really is the FINAL chance though, Screw up that flash and you've got a brick that won't turn on or charge...

I have a friends Gtab 7" to prove it. Short of replacing the MB there is no way to get it up and running....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
Very risky.... I wonder how they manage at Samsung OTA/Kies updates... are they any safer? Maybe it's a bad habit to download firmwares from other sites?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
It's a standard risk when you flash a rom... This is why the MD5 checks are there, even from the best source you can get a corrupted file...

Also why the devs put the disclaimer that you are flashing your rom and they take no responsibility if it fails...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
The good thing is that an OTA or Kies flashing failure will be covered bi warranty, if any.

Any chance to get the bit 0x1 to 0x0 once "spoiled"? Flashing an original stock rom will not reset to 0...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebanec:

Many thanks to Wrathlon as I was stuck in the same place! Now I'm stuck at the Samsung logo. I cannot boot into recovery mode to wipe cache and factory reset. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Nope... The bounty is over $3000 USD...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
As I wrote I got through removing the battery, booting in recovery mode, performed a wipe data (format) & wipe cache (2 steps in total)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebanec:
Please excuse my ignorance, but how are you actually booting into recovery? I'm on stock ROM and haven't rooted.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReeX:
Once you've turned off the phone, keep pressed at the same time (with following sequence)

1) Volume up

2) home

3) power

Keep the buttons pressed at the same time until the phone shows "booting recovery"

This should bring into recovery mode. navigate menus using volume up/down and use power button to confirm/enter. Perform both wipe data factory reset & wipe cache. Once done select reboot
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jebanec:
Many thanks. I tried this earlier but for some reason I couldn't get into recovery. I'll try again later to see if I can get it to work.

Many thanks for all your help. Managed to get into recovery in the end (for some reason it wasn't willing to initially and I was sure I bricked the thing!) and do as advised and working fine now.

Note 3 N9005 MJ7 Bricked???

I have this problem with my Note 3. So after 2 weeks I decided to flash a new rom. I rooted my device in a weird way using CF Auto Root. After flashing that using Odin I get a PASS but the device stayed stuck on Samsung Logo. Pulled the battery then boot into Download Mode then hit Restart. Everythings fine but the device wasnt rooted so I used Kingo to finish the root. Finally rooted properly so I flashed Omega Rom V6 for the N9005 model. Everything was fine but I noticed my Android OS was draining a bit of battery life so I decided to flash a new Kernel. The kernel I used was in Omega Files Pro but it was for a different baseband. MD3 or something like that...cant remember. (I KNOW THIS MY FAULT FOR FLASHING A DIFFERENT KERNEL) So after the reboot my device was working fine. But after turning it off and on my baseband went to UNKNOWN. So I tried flashing Stock kernel but didnt help. So I flashed Omega Rom V6 again and still no luck. I then flashed Original Stock Firmware from Sammobile. Got a PASS but the device kept turning on and after about 30 secs it would turn back off and on again for another 30secs..roughly. Flashed Stock Firmware again now I get a fail.....

My warranty is voided obviously because of root.

When I turn the device on normally i get this...
