I bought a Lenovo K900 valued 350 USD and they sent me a fake tracking number.

When I started complaining, the told that the are going to resent it or refund me.

Until now nothing happened. Unfortunately, I closed the paypal dispute so I can not claim my money back.

Bottom line. Even if you had bought in the past some products from Focalprice and the sent them well, DO NO BUY FROM THEM AGAIN.

It is more than probable that they will stole your money.

AND NEVER CLOSE PAYPAL DISPUTE.
[General Topics] Xperia-Ray:
lesson learned...

I hope you will get your money back, I know that some smartphones from other sellers where stuck at their customs and returned to the stores, maybe this is the case with you order too? .
[General Topics] tienda:
No It is not such a case.

The tracking number was fake. I checked it to the Singapore Post web site and it was not existing.
[General Topics] justmpm:
Sorry, but xda is not the place to air out your customer service issues with Focalprice. You need to take that up with them, paypal, or your local anti-fraud authorities.

Thanks!

Hey I'm building an app with an asset folder full of sound files. I'd like to protect it from decompilation. I understand it's considered impossible but I'd like to use the example of console games like Playstation's. I remeber they pack their files in custom .DAT files that are indexed. The whole files are packed and it can be painful to extract the files without lnowing the way they are packed. I think that is the best way to do.

Is there a tool that can do that for me?
[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
this is Dalvik and JIT, so you can't really do what you say... PS is about as far from mobile/java as you can get.... maybe don't use java and use NDK for such things
[Java for Android App Development] gh0stslayer:
If you download games like asphalt or need for speed (or any big game for that matter), you will notice that they download additional data (expansion files) to the sdcard which has media and other stuff and they are stored in some different extensions (not mp3 or wav). But I have no idea how it is done. You probably will have to write binaries to encode and decode them.
[Java for Android App Development] basterd2:
THis is very interesting, I'm checking the android page, they have a tool that does exactly that, it creates an opaque binary blob. The thing is I'm wondering how to use it directly witrhout using their expansion pack system.

http://developer.android.com/tools/help/jobb.html
[Java for Android App Development] EmptinessFiller:
You can protect your assets while you encrypt them before you put them in the apk. In your app you have to decode them of course.

You don't need a complex encoding system. Maybe you just add 5 to each byte... This may not be 100% sure, but protect from just playing the mp3/wav/ogg file.
[Java for Android App Development] basterd2:
Can you give me an code example that does that? I've battling the APKexpansion files for hours with no success.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] poldone:

Same thing happened to me a few months ago.

I upgraded to a qtek rom on my m3000 (thus voiding warrenty) and

after a few days i was surfing the internet and it just died on me.

Could'nt get it to boot anymore etc. So i returned it to orange shop here in town and stressed that i didn't want a refurbished one.

In the end Orange couldn't get it to work either apperantly because they switched the mainboard and send it back to me with the latest orange rom (back then) installed.

CMahendra's Guide for LOW-SOUND VOLUME FIX for MT6589x Phones

[Useful for Porters]
​

This guide is for MT65XX rom porters, who want to increase volume of their ported custom roms.

Newbies with little RootExplorer experience can also read carefully all the steps and can increase volume of phone.

WARNING:

This Information is Only for Rooted Phones and people with RootExplorer and flashing experience.

Whoever it is porter or newbie, first take Nandroid Backup before proceeding. If fix does not work you can Restore back your Nandroid Backup.

This is just one of the many methods. If the problem is in more than one places then this fix may not work for you.

DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible for any brick or problems.

​

STEPS OF TUTORIAL FOR ROM PORTERS/DEVS

Step 1)

Download this Flashable zip file "Sound_Permission_Setup_CMahendra.zip" (attached below) and copy on your SDCARD. Also install RootExplorer.

Step 2)

TAKE BACKUP: Take full nandroid backup of your low-volume custom rom in recovery mode, in case of any problem happens in the process, it will be useful.

Step 3)

Now you have to find and BACKUP copy of STRONG SOUND files from Working Stock Rom. So, Flash stock rom with full wipe and start phone and test sound volume, if ok or not.

Step 4)

With any Root Explorer on phone, copy this folder from root of yours phone to your SDCARD.

/data/nvram/APCFG/APRDCL

Copy paste this "APRDCL" folder on your SDCARD. There will be around 15 to 16 or more files inside. Now stock Sound file Backup is done.

Step 5)

Now flash/Restore your custom rom which have low volume problem.

Step 6)

Open RootExplorer and open "APRDCL" folder on your SDCARD and select and copy all following files mentioned below.

================================

Audio_AudEnh_Control_Opt

Audio_CompFlt

Audio_Effect

Audio_Hd_Record_Param

Audio_Hd_Record_Scene_Table

Audio_Sph

Audio_Wb_Sph

Audio_ver1_Vol_custom

Audio_Vol_custom

Audio_Wb_Sph

AUXADC

Headphone_CompFlt

HWMON_ACC

Sph_Dual_Mic

================================

You can also include any file with words "speaker" or "sound" or "volume" or "Mic".

Do not worry if any file is missing.

***IMPORTANT: Do not copy or replace files starting with "Camera" and "File_Ver". Leave them as it is.

Step 7)

Now paste these files in following folder location of your phone.

/data/nvram/APCFG/APRDCL

The same folder location from where the files were copied from stock rom.

Step 8)

Now reboot the phone into recovery and flash this Sound_Permission_Setup_CMahendra.zip (attached below)

Restart and you are done. Now you may check the volume.

EXPERIENCED PORTERS CAN MAKE THEIR OWN FLASHABLE ZIPS EASILY.

Hope this helps.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] lildanda:
Hi, I have a kindle fire 2 that I rooted and installed the play store on, everything was working fine then one day it stopped charging. I tried everything I could think of, in the end I opened it up and had the USB re soldered, still would not charge or at least that's what I thought.... it turns out that it does charge but only when it has shut down, there is no orange or green charging light. However this is the problem, I unplug the cable whether it b mains or pc and turn it on, now if I plug either of the cables back in to charge whilst using it it turns off and will not turn back on until I unplug the cable again.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] Pariah_333:
I would double check the ground on the usb port. If you're looking at it from the back (board upside down 5 pins on the usb port facing you) it should be the last pin on the right. It could be bridged with one of the data pins in the middle. Thats where I would start. Hope that helps. Good luck

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjune:
Hi Guys,

I have hard bricked my SGS2 I9100 as .pit file flash failed. Now there is no download/recovery/normal boot. It is completely dead, not detected on any PC by USB/Odin. It gets hot and there is slight vibration while charging. There is no response for USB Jig.

Samsung service center told there is motherboard issue and they don't repair it, they straight away replace it for $150 which I am unwilling to spend now.The phone has gone through the hands of many good technicians but all dismissed the chance of repair saying its an major hardware issue and components are out of stock/ unwilling to do it.

A repairman said he tried to JTAG it but from what he says is that eMMc chip didn't respond to Riff Box. I am not sure whether he correctly tried it on a Riff Box or any other box.

My questions are,

Q1) Should I once again try to JTAG it through other source ? Can any one tell me what's difference does it make to either JTAG it on Riff Box/Medusa/Z3X/GPG & Other Boxes ?

Q2) Does replacing the eMMc flash chip & power IC with new one increases the chances to revive the phone ?

Q3) If I were to replace the IC's from where could I buy it in "India" or should I buy it from aliexpress.com ?

Q4) Are the below IC models correct for I9100:

eMMc Flash IC: KMVYL000LM-B503 or KLMCG8GE2A-A001 (I am unable to

find this chip KLMCG8GE2A-A001 to buy if it is for I9100) source: mobiletechvideos.com

Power IC: MAX8997

Q5) Is there any other method apart from replacing IC's/JTAGGING through which I can repair my I9100 ?

Awaiting your responses. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheImpossibleEnemy:
Long story short - replace the motherboard or buy a new phone.You already tried everything.

Only a few people had successfully replaced the eMMC chip.As it's very hard to do.Resoldering these kind of chips is simply impractical.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjune:
I agree to your point. But still I want to take a chance with the eMMc/Power IC replacement option. At my end I am looking for a proficient technician who can do precision soldering, what I want from this forum is, has IC replacement worked for any one of you guys and if yes can you mention the detailed steps for the same. Because on GSM Hosting forums a lot of guys have replaced the IC's and got their S2 working. But because of technical issue of minimum 10 post for a new thread I cannot ask there. This forum is my only hope to find proper solution to my problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You won't see anyone post those steps because I've never seen anyone on here post they've had someone do this repair successfully. I've seen a number of people post here (particularly over the past 6 mths & particularly in some countries) that they've been offered this fix, but not a single one has posted & said they had it done & it was successful.

Why ? Because no tech with any competence would attempt this for a couple of reasons:-

1) It would be a pain in the arse to try. It would be very fiddly/take a long time. Small electronics these days is mostly 'modular' & replacement of tiny parts just doesn't happen anymore; 'boards' are replaced because it's quicker/easier for the tech, and cheaper for the customer. Even if these fixes were possible, you'd pay more than what a motherboard replacement would cost. And even then you're probably relying on someone with questionable technical ability telling you it is possible when people who really know what they're doing & talking about just wouldn't bother.

2) You have no way of knowing yourself whether you're being told the truth about this 'power IC' nonsense actually being the problem. What happens if you try this fix, only to find out the NAND is actually corrupted (which it is 99.999999999999999999999999% of the time; you are not the exception here); this means you pay for the fix which has no chance of working, and then you pay again for a motherboard replacement or new phone.

By all means sit in this thread for months & months with a non-working phone waiting for the information you're after to be posted, but it never will be for the reasons I've mentioned. If it was me, I'd want my phone working ASAP because I need a phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arjune:
Anyways.. I have given my phone for eMMc replacement let us see what it turns out to be. Thanks for your input Mistah. Will post back once I get my phone.

One more thing MistahBungle, as you have mentioned NAND corruption thats the exact issue I faced in Odin, does it means the flash chip is dying or as I read it its stuffed beyond recovery.. what exactly is NAND corruption and is there any solution for it apart from mobo change ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
It means the chip has been 'scrambled' due to a bad flash, which means nothing can be written to or read from the chip anymore, which is why your phone won't boot, the (for the sake of simplicity, the tech version is available with a Google or XDA search) 'pre-boot' stuff/OS/etc lives on it, without that = dead phone.

Only solution is to replace it, and as we've said, replacing just that chip isn't feasible, so the whole board is replaced.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeS.:
http://youtu.be/CPCVecKSPAA

After I rebooted my Phone the screen got black. I am not able to boot up the phone. If I'm using the Power+VolUP and hold for a while the Phone will turn on, but will continue with the black screen.

The keystroke Power+VolDOWN will do nothing.

Furtermore the Phone is in kind of a bootloop, every 3 Minutes and 35 seconds (3'35'', 0:03:35) with the same result, a blackscreen after the first bootlogo.

Moreover if I am pressing one of the Buttons the Phone starts vibrating like tss tss [pause for 4 seconds] tss tss [pause for 4 seconds] tss tss and so on.

Also the Phone is detected on my PC with a sound and recognized in the management console as "HTC MTP Device".

I am not able to reboot in recovery, bootloader by pressing the buttons or with adb nor fastboot.

Furter infomations about the device:

Newest FW: 1.54.401.5

Rooted: Yes (SuerSU 1.94)

S-OFF: Yes (Firewater)

CR: Yes (TWRP 2.7.0.4-m8_ul_ca)

[UPDATE]

NOW good News! I am able to boot into Bootloader after the Battery ran emty of the many reboots.

But bad news at all, I flashed the ROM 1.54.401.5 again, and did a factory reset, but the blackscreen problem still exists !!

So problem isn't fixed at all !!

[UPDATE FINAL]

I fixed this by restoring a TWRP Backup.
