FREEWARE… :P

Introduction: I need to be 100% sure that my data connection is active all the time, I needed a tool that would ping a website at a regular interval with a published result on a log file and registry, using this tool and Schema I achieved this.

SOFTWARE RELEASE: PPCPing.exe

Written in: MS Vb.net 2003 ( 1.1 MS.net Compact framework)

By: Digs

Purpose: To ping a website to determine if PPC data connection is active.

ReturnS: Writes to text log file and writes to the registry ping results.

RegKey : HKEY\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\PPCPing\PingResult\Result

99 = Succcess

-1 = Partial success, site connection attempt made thru data connection but attempt to find site failed.

-2 = Ping Failed, “No host found”

-3 = Program code error.

Settings: user can change these settings.

LOGPATH:\PPCPinglog.txt

PINGSITE:google.com

PORT:80

You can change the log path and website to your choice, no need to change port. Website must be with out the WWW, otherwise the default “yahoo.com” will be pinged. If you change the log file address, the text files must exist on your PPC otherwise it will write to default, “\PPCPinglog.txt”.

The files settings.txt, PPCPing.exe must be in the same directory, the log file can be anywhere.

I use Schema (http://s-k-tools.com) to schedule this to run every hour. Schema can read the registry ping result to fire further events. like reconnect GSM or even a soft reset.

The software does not open any forms, it runs on double clicking. It uses the TCPClient/Socket code in .net 1.1. Its not that fancy

Best install is on the device, log file on the SD card. The runtime for me is about 2 seconds. On install you get “software was written for previous version”, ignore this as I only used MS VS 2003 vb.net.

Tested on my device specs as below.

From the zip file I loaded PPCPing_PPC_ARM, I don’t know what the others do, they are all generated from the MS Visual Studio CAB build.

Have Fun.

Please advise : On Install the entry in the Program settings is "My Company PPCPing", how do you change this ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Dreamleaves:
that sounds great. Exactly what i'm searching for a long time.

BUT where is the download-link for the ppcping.exe ??? :confused:

Need to be fixed :

PhoneCall.app

Email.app

Memo.app

With a 200 density S3 Group play app loads without crashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] MirXas:
After changing the density and replacing the laucher apk with the new one, the phone failed to boot. Tried cleaning cache, dalvik cache, but when booting, it shows "Finishing BOOT".
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] DarkThanos:
Which phone you have and which firmware version?

Changing the launcher apk cant mesh up your boot, worst case the launcher crash afther load.

If the phone diplay anything about update and finishing updating its ok, u just wait.

Try load from recovery and restore your build.prop and launcher's apk with adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] MirXas:
I already reinstalled stock ROM along with all of my apps. I8260 with stock ROM. I'll do a nandroid backup and try again. I'll tell you how it went.
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] NieeLz:
Cool, Its working for GT-i8262?

and..

why this mod not posted on themes and apps :D
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] DarkThanos:
I dont know if it work on GT-I8262, I dont even know if it work with all GT-I8260.

Its not a theme its a dpi change. And I think that if we want to port S4 - S5 on our phone we should eventually all change our dpi.

Thanks for this. It looks good to have a big screen.

Moreover, I don't know what happened but my RAM usage has dropped from 450 to 267-280 MB after changing pixel density instead of having lot of apps installed.

Here is SecContacts.apk that i moded for 200 DPI. ---> Click here

Thanks again. For the rest apps i don't care because I don't have calculator, email and stock camera :D
[Samsung Galaxy Core.] 93boba:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdoctor:
Hi All

I bought an S4 which is my first Samsung Device, its delopment stuff seems diifferent than HTC or Xperia Devices I used.

Previously I was on JB 4.3, Today I downloaded a firmware from sammobile.com and Flashed the firmware i9505xxvfnb8, Then I tried CF Root method but it didnt root the device. I updated to FC9 firmware (latest one) and tried to root but it didnt work either.

Now I dont know if its even possible to root KK 4.4.2.

The last I tried to flash FC9 (PREROOTED WITH CWM Installed from THIS this thread. The ROM is being flashed as i can see update but there was no SuperUser and neither was any CWM recovery installed.

Please tell me how to root and get Recovery installed.

MY PHONE HAS NO WARRANTY SO I DONT CARE IF THERE IS COUNTER STUFF. Its a carrier free phone. Just need a rooted device on 4.4.2 with CWM installed.

If not possible , cant I downgrade to 4.3?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
The thing is the update to android 4.4.2. It "hides" some apps sometimes. Make a backup of your Internal Memory and factory reset ur phone (Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything) if the process of root went ok through ODIN. You will see the SuperSU app when ur phone reboots :highfive:

these RUUs will install the 4.1.1 Sense 4 stock right?

the question that i forgot to ask that will there be a problem if i run an old RUU although i've updated my phone to sense 5 before ,and all info in the bootloader changed?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It depends which RUU you run. You're s-off so you can run any Evita RUU, whether it's a forwards or backwards step. Just make sure you choose the right RUU (the 3.17/3.18 ones are Android 4.1 and Sense 4+) and you'll be fine.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
No there will be no problem since you have s-off. Nothing in your bootloader will change. The bootloader will remain unlocked. Your cid will remain supercid and you will still be s-off. You can run older or newer RUUs without consequence.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendoori:
One of my staff members has a RAZR HD via Verizon here in US. He is travelling to Italy, Greece, and France, and I would like to put him on our TMOUS business plan while he's away. I realize that he will only be on 2G for data while traveling, but this is good enough for our needs (e.g. he can get email etc...). I would assume that he would have no trouble making calls once in Europe.

I'm not that smart about Verizon CDMA devices, so I just wanted to make sure that if we got him a TMOUS SIM here in the states, that it would just work, and that we could actually test it here in the states (obviously he would have a new phone # that's associated with the new SIM we give him).

Do we know whether the Verizon devices are unlocked, or whether we would have to get them to unlock this before he travels?

If you've done this and can chime in, I would appreciate it.

Hello

I accidentally deleted lot of sutff from my G2 (not sure what exactly, but particularly a few videos I as trying to save when I messed things up) by misusing mtpfs on linux.

After a few hours of googling, I found solutions that require USB Mass Storage option which G2 has not or rooting which is out of the question since I have a hardware issue and need to be certain of the warranty.

Is there something to do ?

[General Questions and Answers] graydiggy:
OK guys... I ran X-ray on my Note 3 (AT&T) with X-Note12 4.4.2.

It could not determine if the zimperlich exploit was patched. Now... Since I am rooted, I had 2 others test their devices with the official AT&T Note 3 4.4.2 OTA update. The results were the same.

Now since root is not available for this version yet, I am looking for someone to help with possibly building an exploit using zimperlich.

Something tells me that patch got broken.

I purchased a Solarius V3 Bluetooth GPS Receiver (SiRF III, WAAS) (Solar Powered) 2 months ago from Semsons.com . It came as a bundle with TomTom Navigator 5. Works great. I like that it uses a mini-usb for charging (same as the Wizard). It has a external antenna port but don't think I'll need one because I still get a full signal with the reciver in my pocket walking around. This SiRF III blows away my first GPS from '98. It also has a reasonably strong magnet in the base, have not gotten to work with my plastic dashboard.... It comes totally black with no goofly labels telling the theifing world that it is a GPS.

I also love the powered mount (CM799) they sell for the Wizard. It comes 2 USB ports for charging both GPS and K-Jam simultaneous. Also has speaker with volume control.

Hello

I need to restore my phone contacts and i'm looking for a program with which to read all phone memory - especially the "free memory".

Phone operating system has been installed in service, but have not saved contacts before, so I need your help.

Thanks
[HTC Desire X] TheArc:
It's hard for me to understand what you mean but let me guess, you have changed devices and you want to restore your contacts from your previous device to this device.

Method One - Google (If your previous phone is a smartphone with android)

Log into your Google account on your old device. Go to Settings, look for the "Accounts" section. Select Google. Once in the new window. Select your account (usually displayed as an email).

Open it, and and touch "Contacts" wait for it to sync. Once done. Log into your Google account from the DX and do to settings look for accounts. Open Google. Open your account. And select "contacts" it should sync every contact from the old device to your new one.

Method two - sim card.

Simply go into contacts in your old phone (make sure your sim is in there) mark all contacts and save it to sim.

Take sim out and insert in DX, go to contacts, and import the contacts from sim.

To see all your free memory. Go to settings>storage.
[HTC Desire X] marian_dumitra:
thanks

I was not very explicit, so i'm back with clarifications:

- my phone, a HTC Desire X, had problems with screen and I went to the service;

- before that, I sync contacts with gmail account, but I didn't copied more than 500 contacts from 2000 and I saw this only after I took the phone from the service;

- the service has changed the screen and reinstalled the operating system Android 4.1.1, so I can not see contacts;

- I restored the phone book - only 500 contacts from gmail and for the rest I need a program to read the memory of the phone which now appears to be free;

- I tried with wondershare dr. fone for android but it didn't work. I think I need a program wich "read the memory", not "restore the memory".

Thanks again

Marian
[HTC Desire X] CurtisMJ:
The memory doesn't "seem" free, it IS free. Your contacts are not stored in any special place, they are stored along with your other settings on your android data partion, the one they would've wiped. Due to the nature of the ext4 filesystem it's not even worth it to try and recover them (I've had experience with this before :p , just a bunch of hashes). It's vital to always check the validity of backups before going through anything that may destroy the original data. Sorry.
[HTC Desire X] marian_dumitra:
I ask you again

Hello

Thanks for the advice. I will listen them in the future, but now we have to put right what was wrong.

I need a program to read phone memory byte by byte. I interpret the information myself if I have something to interpret!

Thanks
[HTC Desire X] dansou901:
Try using dd to backup the partition of phone memory, use cat /proc/emmc first to determine it.
