[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylansmith:
I've been looking high and low for something that can achieve what is mentioned here, but to no avail. I would like the ability to send/receive messages directly from my Desktop without having to touch my phone (something similar to AirDroid, though unfortunately it only supports SMS).

AirDroid claimed they were able to make it work, though it requires root and other permissions that may infringe privacy rights. this leads me to believe that a similar software should exist.

any recommendations? please don't suggest emulators/BlueStacks - as the experience is suboptimal, and/or one would be required to have a separate phone number or sign out from the phone service in order to use it exclusively on the desktop.

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just2Cause:
I know you said not to mention emulators but you can use a emulator and change the IMEI and MAC Address to the same ones on your phone, then download whatsapp and you will then be able to use whatsapp on both, emulator & phone at the same time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AAbounegm:
I was going to say Bluestacks, but you said no emulators. And when you mentioned AirDroid it reminded me of something else, TeamViewer. I use TeamViewer to control my phone from the PC and vice versa (yes you can, in case you didn't know). But you need to install the main TeamViewer app, then the TeamViewer QuickSupport app, then the QS Addon for your specific device. Then you can control your phone from the PC and use WhatsApp.

I actually downloaded it to both and kept switching between them, so can you please tell me how do you change the IMEI and MAC Address on Bluestacks?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Just2Cause:
I don't really know how to change it on bluestacks but I know that 2 devices with same MAC Address can receive messages, and if they were same IMEI too they both will be able to send messages on whatsapp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylansmith:
the reason why I mentioned no emulators (and similarly, no VNC-like service.. even teamviewer falls under the same category) is that the performance is pretty bad, regardless of how high end your desktop specifications or network connection is (i.e. it can never reach something like 50fps smoothness).

preferably a native app built for this very purpose - welcoming more suggestions!

thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arjs1000:
Fantastic idea

I am currently not sure if this is possible due to constants of the What's app service linking to phone numbers.

However, if there was a tool that can apply iMessage like functionality to What's App I would definitely download it.

Regards,

Arjun
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dylansmith:
it is 100% possible because AirDroid has achieved that before, but didn't allow it due to security vulnerabilities.

anyone got a suggestion please? :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Looking Glass:
Hi!

I want to share a bit of an amazing experience I had a few days ago.

My trusted JAM has overcome some drops and scratches during the year+ I've used it daily, but a few days ago I was doing some job by the pool side, when I fell into the water, not realizing I was carrying my JAM on the belt clip.

:!:

I followed the "standard" water-in-electronics procedure, clothe drying, hair blower, under the lamp...for several hours, and... IT SURVIVED!

At first it refused to start, then hanged, then the GSM module was reported "missing", fog in the screen....

To my susrprise it has come back to near "normal" after a few days, and a restore did the rest of the trick.

I just wanted to share this with all of you advising that probably a fast "first aid treatment" may have been key to the resurrection..... I've lost some other phones just on a wet coat in a rainy day... :wink:

And for the help requested, the only remaining symptom of the "shock" is a strange snow effect on the screen lighting: some spots look brighter than others.

Any idea? :?:

Regards.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ImmortalU:
residual moisture OR water residue left as it dried slowly (crystalas forming) im guessing, if u can open it and wipe down the LCD/Glass and let it dry completley, it may help.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Saaduk:
follow ImmortalU, it may help but somtimes this problem get solved by it self, just takes time.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] drsox:
The first rule with water in a device is to remove ALL power.

You can immerse electronics in water as long as they are totally dry before any power is passed through them again.

Its the power which causes the corrosion when water is present.

The moment anything is dropped into a loo / pool etc.. you whip it out and take out the battery as a matter of serious urgency.. leave it on a radiator or in the sun for a week then you should be good to go :) As long as damage was not done before power was removed.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Looking Glass:
Thanks you all for the comments!

Problem with a PDA is that it's "already" energized the moment it gets wet, even the backup batt showed discharged when the thing "revived", Is there a real way to remove it?

To remove the LCD and clean it from the background seems a bit scary to me, I'll will try when I'm ready to trade up my JAM. At present time I'm quite happy with having been able to recover my machine, though not fully yet.

The cristal idea seems to be the answer to the "snow flake" effect, but I don't know if this can be cleaned or is somehow sealed altogether with the backlight. Anyone knows?

And why the effect is pixelized when it's clearly in the background, well beyond the transflective layer? Maybe the crystals align themselves with the tft's on the screen?

:?:

All considered, I am still shocked with the incredible "survivor" nature of the Magician design.

If just the S200/Prophet performance were a bit better....

i flashed my a13 tablet t730 mainboard all things goes right but i can't take a photo with the camera it said your sd card is full???

any help or idea
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
What did you flash?

Sorry, have to ask... IS the SD card full?

Does your camera app have Settings to change storage options?

Did whatever you flash edit the mounting of internal / external storage?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob adb:
the sd is not full

the camera hasn't any option for storage

and i didn't edit any thing when i flash it it's an .img by livsuite
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Odd. Haven't seen a device that wouldn't let you save pictures to external, if it supports them. Have you tried another camera app to see if it is the app or it's something odd with the rom? Also, clear the data and cache of the Camera and Gallery apps in Settings > Applications > All and see if that makes any difference.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noob adb:
i did all the things u told and more ...the thing is that this rom is not the orginal one my tablet is 8g and when i flash this rom via livsuite i checked my internal storage it's only 4g is there away that i can manag the internal storage??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Depends on the device and what you put on it, but might make more sense to use another rom or the original one because most likely all the issues are linked.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shensu:
SOLVED : BATTERY WAS DRAINED AT THE MAX, never seen that.

Hello all,

This kind of discussion has already been mentionned but i didn't found anything (may be bad search).

After flashing a rom (PureIon rom) through CMW and without the requiered kernel (in this case the .211 or something like that was needed) the phone was stuck on boot "Sony".

A this moment i cannot enter neither in flash mode or fastboot mode.

If i keep it on the wall poser supply, it stays turned off with red led (not blinking, constant), after a while he automatically turns on and stuck on the Sony logo.

If I just shut off (simple keep power+volume up) there is no way to turn on the phone, i have to re-plug the phone against the wall power supply and wait.

The hard reset (3 vibrations after keeping 10sec the power+vol up) is not working anymore

Someone has already had this king of behaviour ?

Thank you in advance.

Regards.

Extract Boot image from OTA file and flash via fastboot
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
That's why i asked you : is there also a problem ? So then i hoped you would answer with yes, i can't use signal, mobile data and such.....

Return to your full stock rom and indeed flash the boot.img. that OTA can't be flashed as a firmware. It's done via the recovery but if it involves a hboot upgrade it's also not possible in that way.

What you can do is flash the firmware.zip that is located inside the OTA. The OTA itself is not a firmware only !

And when you install the stock rom and flashed the firmware and the imei stays away you can't fix this at home, that needs some jtag solution that is not really accessible for the "normal" user at home. You need a repair shop or HTC for that.

If he can't s-off the device than its true. The partitions that needs rewriting are locked and you need a-off to reach it. And writing an imei just like that is illegal.....
