Hello. Today my dad bought this old Alcatel One Touch 985 phone using Android 2.3.6 (maybe there is an update but I can't get it cuz there is no god damned internet) and I have been trying for 3 hours now to connect this thing to the internet. I am using Connectify Pro which is a Wi-Fi hotspot software since my router is broken. Everything works fine and dandy with my Nexus 7 but the Alcatel doesn't want to connect. It starts with "Obtaining IP" -> "Authenticating" -> "Disconnected" and then repeats. I am using a WPA2 authentication. I hope you guys can help me fix this problem, thanks in advance!
[Networking] Towly223:
Hi

Have you tried connecting with an open connection?
[Networking] sfreemanoh:
Have you tried re-entering the SSID (if the router isn't broadcasting the SSID) and password? Also, I've seen it before where the first time I enter the password it doesn't connect for whatever reason, even if I re-enter the password itself (and verify I'm entering it correctly). Then forgetting the connection and re-connecting works. It's pretty annoying.
[Networking] gEebOy:
Hi there,

Have you tried using a static ip address? change the settings on your device and use static ip instead of dhcp. thanks. :D
[Networking] SilentStray:
I was having this issue and found that it was the routers fault. I turned off the router by unplugging it for 30seconds then plugging it back in.
[Sprint LG G2] supasanch24:
I was hoping to get some input from anyone running Cloudy flex 1.4 on their Sprint G2? I have never really had good experiences with mult-variant roms. I am currently stock unrooted ZVA but really like the look of the rom. I would consider flashing if there are some happy campers. What flashing procedure worked the best etc. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint LG G2] supasanch24:
I hear crickets. Lol. No one is running Cloudy Flex on their Sprint G2?
[Sprint LG G2] agentfusion:
I have used it and it works great. You have to do a little bit of extra work because there's no menu option for downloading PRL and Profile though. To enable data, you need to flash a working stock-based rom, grab APN Backup and Restore from the play store, backup APNs, flash CloudyFlex, install /system/app mover from play store, make APN Backup and Restore a system app, reboot, run APN Backup and Restore, hit menu->disable ICS check, then restore APNs. Reboot again, and done. Everything should work perfectly.

I even got fantastic battery life using Dorimanx kernel.
[Sprint LG G2] supasanch24:
Thanks for the post. Should be easy enough.
[Sprint LG G2] supasanch24:
So being on stock rooted is a good place to start then? I don't want to Bork my phone.

That should be the same as for any other porting. There are plenty of guides around, here is one example: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-s/general/guide-porting-guide-how-to-port-stock-t1791006 Just make sure the two rom (stock and custom) are the same Android version, otherwise it gets a lot more difficult.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
try to replace the app like my friend said or try to wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partion

or try to flash the Stock again
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damani311:
I'm not sure that bluetooth is an app. I don't have an app installed for it at least, and there is no bluetooth app in the app store...

really trying to avoid factory wipe since it would take at least two hours to reinstall everything
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
NO ma man you can find the Bluetooth app in this location /system/app

then replace it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ash13isonxda:
Yes yes yes

Replacing app in /system worked for me..Thanks guys as it was quite frustating....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damani311:
thanks for the reply

there is apparently no app in the system/app folder for bluetooth, which i'm guessing is the problem

now where the heck do i find the 'replacement'? There is no bluetooth app in the market. sorry for not knowing exactly what to do
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
The system/app contains the bluetooth app, take a look

And if you are running 4.4.2 I can upload the apps for you
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damani311:
yeah I meant that the bluetooth app is not in there at all. don't know why i accidentally said folder

not sure if i'm running 4.2.2 or what, how do i tell? gs4 that i've been using a custom rom called mint jelly ever since it came out back in June of last year, and have not made any further updates due to them not being necessary
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
You can tell by going to Settings > More > About Device > then you will find android version
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damani311:
yeah it's 4.2.2

thanks for your help

so what's the next step?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
Any time bro

And sorry im late

Download & extract the apps to System/app

Make sure you have root

http://pc.cd/JYQ
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damani311:
thanks, ive never sideloaded an app before so if you wouldnt mind....

do i download on computer? and then after I extract I take the APK and push it through? I can lookup this process but just wondering if this is the route i'm supposed to be going next
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
Download "ES File Explorer" then click on option button

Then scroll down and turn on Root Explorer

Then click on root explorer and choose Mount Option and change the /system to rw

Then download the apps & extract them

You can extract them on pc, then copy the apps to SD Card

From SD Card copy them to System/app
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damani311:
really thankful for your help

i did get those exact files into my sys/app folder

restarted the device and bluetooth still wont work...really frustrating. hard to believe the only way to fix this might be to get a completely different custom ROM and resetup my entire device, which will take hours and i'm sure it's just a matter of time before I have some other problem.

Any suggestions welcome
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RubbaBand:
Sorry I forgot the most important thing

Keep pressing on any app in the /System/app

And click properties

And look to the permission of the app

then keep pressing on the Bluetooth app and click properties and click change the permission of the bluetooth app to Permissions like the previous app

Reboot

Sorry guys ,i know that this question had been ask by many people but i cant find the answer in a thousand page from the viper site. Im using viper 4.0.6. When I un-install applications I seem to get greyed out icons with "SD" on the application screen. They don't appear immediately but show up over night. I can drag them to uninstall but then they re-appear after a while.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] iceyhotguy:
You didn't mention how you tried to do it, or what problems you ran into so no one can tell you what you did wrong or provide a solution to the compilation error you might have faced.

'There's a lot of threads already available all over XDA for helping with this, so please use XDA or google search extensively.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] RIPPER:
Hii... can u help us to give a specific link for porting ROM from the source (i.e PACMAN, slimbean, etc) and keeping CM11 as a base.

I couldn't find the best page where I get all thing for my ROM.

Thanks in advance.!:good:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] iceyhotguy:
k2wl's build CM from source is the best method, you just have to switch this line

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-11.0

with the github link to the source of any custom ROM you want.

Like for getting RR source it would be

repo init -u https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/platform_manifest.git -b kitkat1

All ROMs actually provide you with a method to port their ROMs for your phone in their manifest.

Like for example, you feel like compiling Resurrection it's https://github.com/ResurrectionRemix/platform_manifest

I am not getting one thing though..k2wl mentioned we have to download 10-12 GB data for cm11 or other ROM. y so?? is the data soo huge?
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] ##W4TCH0UT##:
Actually the more the folders, the more the data. So dats why. There are less folders in the beanstalk source than the cm source, so it will be about 10gb. I guess.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] RIPPER:
is it resumable?? he mentioned REPO SYNC to be applied if it breaks.does it work.bcoz i need 2 days to download all the source:(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] ##W4TCH0UT##:
Not resumable. You have to restart. :(
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] RIPPER:
:(:( I have to download from office then:D
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] iceyhotguy:
repo sync is soley there so you can resume.

you can break and close terminal at any time, when you use repo sync again, it will scan through your folder comparing everything what you have downloaded to the source folder on the git and then start downloading from where it left off :)

Hey guys. This one's for the Zelda fans :D. I got tired of the standard lock/unlock system sounds on kitkat, and all the apps i could find to change the system sounds suck, so I'm issuing some flashable zips with sounds from Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Apparently, android system will only play ogg files that are encoded at 112kb/s @ 41000hz, so i had to convert some stuff over. Anyway, here we go. Just flash these zips in recovery (PREVIEWS.zip is just a zip file with the four sound files in it so you can listen before you flash).

First one is door open/close from the dungeons (for unlock/lock, respectively)

Second one is the minimap toggle on/off, which is similar to pause/unpause but a lot simpler (also for unlock/lock, respectively)

Let me know what you think! I think they make for a very cool effect!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharingan:
just by making wipes will not solve your lag problems

you have to uninstall unnecessary apps and have to root your phone so that you can change its governing settings with apps like no frills cpu from conservative to performance and to flash scripts like fly on mod which improves speed upto an extent

I want to organise my contacts so that the names come up based on alphabetical order of their first name, not their surname.

ie if I have a mate called Ben Smith, I want this to be shown under B for Ben and not S for Smith.

Is this possible? At the moment I am inputing contact names as Smith Ben and then it appears under the contacts as Ben, Smith . . . any ideas?

Thanks
[General Topics] dodgy:
Photo Contacts does provide this option. It lets your sort on different parameters.

http://www.pocketx.net/smartphone/photocontacts.html
[General Topics] Koksie:
You can change the way contacts are displayed in Outlook on your desktop and then sync then to your device. You can also install the attached cabs, they will give you an option in the pop-up menu when you tap and hold a contact on how to show the contacts.
[General Topics] crivens200:

Anyone know how to make the Contacts remember my selected filter?

My old phone had 25 contacts that I actually call with any regularity. My Outlook contacts has a thousand or something. I don't want to scroll through all those so I created a "Phone" category hoping to have the big list filtered. But, Contacts won't remember the filter and I don't want to re-select it every time.

Any thoughts?
[General Topics] Phoney:
Raj Pillai solved the "First Name, Last Name" problem by writing a free Outlook plug-in. I've used it with no problems.

It's *very easy* and convenient.

Instructions:

http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/raj/FileAs.html

The App:

http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/raj/Download/FileAsSorter.zip

You double-click to install this plugin.

Then, you open your Outlook Contacts, click "File As Sorter" in the toolbar, and it will ask you how you want to sort your contacts. Click "First, Last" and voila! Now your contacts will appear the way you want on your phone.
[General Topics] bubism:
Do what I did. I highlighted my most frequently called contacts as such:

John Smith -> [John] Smith

The [ symbol comes before A, thus the [-ized names are always listed first.

Just don't use: "John" Smith, or your pda will go crazy whenever you try to Sms/Mms him - as I discovered the very hard way.
[General Topics] thompsd:
A little off topic but there's a great bit of software for the Treo that does this called Initiate;

http://www.hobbyistsoftware.com/

I've pinged them about developing something for Win5 platform but so far no luck, maybe if more would join the chorus.

With this program you simply could input letters and it would bring up anything that matched the order. So for Bob Smith you could imput bsh or oth, you get the idea, very cool, worked great, we need it for windows.
[General Topics] mattucd:
What I did was I removed all the first names. Then under the "Last name" field, I put in the full name. That works well :)
[General Topics] Phoney:
Maybe I wasn't clear - the Outlook plugin I mentioned will automatically re-sort all your contacts as First, Last, so as soon as you sync, all your contacts will show up in the right order.

I wrote a small little .NET CF 2.0 app that handles this pretty well. Very lightweight and definitely gets the job done. And its free (of course, you can donate, though! :)).

Thanks!
[General Topics] molski:
Although I normally use a little plug-in that saves as First, Last....this is quite a cool app!!

Although it required the (BIG) 5 MB .Net on my Main Memory (that is the only thing that sucks, but hey....I was sure that one time, I had to install .Net, so I just gotta live with that, but 30MB free Main Memory is still okay ), it's good enough to have it staying installed on my Wizard.

Hopefully in the next few weeks I will develop integration into the contacts list as well as a smaller footprint file (I know C++ extremely well, but I didn't want to have to deal with all the code and I just started learning a bit with C#) so it loads quicker and requires less memory.

[General Topics] hamm3r:
I too was interested in this feature.

Here's what I do as a work around.

1. I create a new category called "_Personal" (note the underscore) and file all of my frequent contacts under this category.

2. Using SPB Pocket Plus I remapped my envelope key (Upper left) to be the "contacts" key.

When you push the NEW contacts key 4x, you will be at your filtered list.

You have to hit it 4 times because the list will come up in this order:

1st time: unfiltered

2nd time: Recent

3rd time: No Category

4th time: _Personal

Note1: If you do not create the _Personal category, you can still use the remap method, but you will have to hit the key a bunch more times because after "No Category" it will bring up the filters in alphabetical order.

Note2: You can't use this method unless you create a hard key for contacts. The soft key will not work because after you hit the softkey for contacts, the softkey will then become mapped to "Menu".
