[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beodo:
Thanks, I want to use my phone as bittorrent client, that why i need to use big files often. I'm root.

I don't have a USB OTG cable...

I have the sd card with ext4 format as primary partition and it's not working.

I think that it's not an easy way to use files biger that 4 gb in this chinese phone.

I also tried to NTFS format and this tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter&hl=es and the phone freezes often...it's not a solution at all.

It's frustating that a chinese tablet supports perfectly ntfs and the s3 exfat, but with this phone, ther¡s no way...i been trying all day long! I gave up.

thank you anyway.

I know one can reprogram it, but when it isn't reprogrammed what does it do?

My backlight on the keyboard has been on before but it never seems to come on now - even whe I press the backlight button and cover the light sensor. How does it work? Any way I can have the keyboard backlight on whenever the device is open?

What is the backlight button for?

PS - I wonder what percentage of posts on this forum are done on a universal... This was.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
I think the only raison-d-ètre for that button is to start discussion threads like yours. It's a bit like bureaucracy. It starts very small but then grows into a self sustaining monster.

The question is not "What is the button for?" , it is rather "Will you be able to accept that it has no purpose" ?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] davemee:
:D

.. but does it have no purpose? we have a question, a response, and now a response to that response. I argue that this ingenius button is not a part of the device, but a social agent and we have created an ad-hoc community built around the presence of this otherwise purposeless plastic.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anjow:
Alright a more straightforward question:

What effect does pressing the button (when not using the reassignment hack) have?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fbiqbal:
Guys, in my case when Im using XDA Exec for typing or working long and then I stopped for 60sec ......... backlight goes auto-off , by simply pressing the button backlight ON or tapping on the screen!

For keyboard light, if i put thumb on it and press any key on keyboard then backlight goes ON.

So isnt it normal and expected behavoir? if you noticed more or less could be an exception :-)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lbendlin:
Alright, let me rephrase my question - WHY can yo not accept that it has no purpose? Don't think too much about it, I want a spontaneous answer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Anjow:
Because on a device as expensive as this I assume that everything has a purpose, considering that space is a factor.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Isn't it meant to force enable the keyboard backlight when the ambient light is too dark? Ie, light sensor detects it's dark; however, backlight times out after X seconds; pressing useless backlight key detects ambient light and renables keyboard backlight without stuffing a character in the keyboard message queue.

We all know what it's really meant for - VJCandela! :)

Guys, it's getting a bit tense in here. Let's all go out for a latte, eh?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
If we're headed to Starbucks, could someone grab me a quad-shot venti white mocha with cream, and sprinkle some cinnamon over it please?

Damn I need a coffee!

all points raised here are right. VJCandela is the best use for it, in day to day life it served no real purpose before reassignment unless you ignored your Uni until it turned the backlight on the screen off.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] davemee:
Typical. Looks like Starbucks paid for the buttons to be installed as some kind of post-phone-sale invenstment.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] QuaCKeReD:

PS - think you've got it bad? My Mio A701 doesn't have a power key :shock: Anyone got a spare StarBucks key I can use for the time being?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] toddao:
Since I've loaded the 2.25 ROM I've noticed that after the phone has been in standby mode for a while and I reactivate it the signal will show as the same as when I last turned it off. Not until I reenter my password will it refresh and show me that there is currently no signal. Then it will have x's and never connect until I switch to fight mode and then off of flight mode.

This is really frustrating. Is this typical? Is there anyway to fix it so that it shows what the phone signal actually is when you reactivate the device? And is there any way other than going in and out of flight mode to regain the signal?

Thanks everyone,

Todd

Ok, let's finally get this right...

I am looking for a plain battery meter for WM5.0 AKU2.0. I DO NOT want a today plugin. I want something that goes right next to the clock and looks like the one on windows mobile smartphone. We'll also need to eliminate the CRAPPY meter from AKU2.0. The battery meter on the Treo 700w is also quite good...has anyone managed to rip this piece of software? PLEASE SOMEONE let's finally get the normal battery meter that should have been in PPC all along!

Thanks in advance to anyone working on this!

Best,

Hi,

I personally prefer the Batti program by David Andrš.

Great piece of software and highly customizable.

Check it out. It might not be what your looking for, but it sure is worth a try.

This does not work AT ALL on my Sprint PPC-6700. I install it, configure it, and nothing shows up at all even when I select "Always on top." Any other options??
[General Topics] meesterlars:
snappy snappy...

i use magic button. can be found here: www.trancreative.com

i like the fact that it take up zero otherwise useful space. simply a white, double-pixel line at the top of the screen, length indicating charge. it doesn't get any better than that. plus, i find it a really nifty task manager. good luck

whats wrong with the one thats next to the clock ? it works great on mine!

Ok, please let me refocus this topic...we are looking for a battery meter replacement that LOOKS STOCK...these other solutions are abundant, but NOT the goal of this post. Please take a look at GreenSoftware's GS Battery Meter. It looks completely stock, but comes up as a notification. Does anyone know how to replace the AKU2.0 battery meter with this solution? That would be ideal...

Thanks again to all posters.

[General Topics] AlanJC:
I have the green battery meter that is on the T-Mobile AKU2 rom, and it does exactly what you are requesting.

Can you post a screenshot of the one you have to see if it's the same?

I DON'T really GET what you are saying, but PLEASE stop using all the caps to emphasise your point, because I think people will assume you're impatient, moody, and not worth the time to help ;)

The one I have is a simple 4 bar affair, and when you tap it, you get the battery screen with large bar, and a percentage.

Either the notification popup, or full page one require you to OK it, so I don't see the advantage of one over the other, and both read the level from the same place, so accuracy isn't an issue either.
[General Topics] smithy318i:
if you want a battery meter that looks stock, just use the WM5 standard battery meter.
[General Topics] TheBrit:
I think the problem is the AKU2 battery meter. It only shows 2 levels of charge, full or half full. It's pretty useless and a step back from the original WM5 batter meter. I don't know why a battery meter must "look stock" though. I'm using the battery status plugin from the prophet forum which is great - and OCs my PPC as well. 8)
[General Topics] mbial:
Sorry about caps earlier... Yes, my issue is that I would use the WM5 AKU2.0 battery meter if it was useful, but it sucks. I'm just looking for something that looks like it belongs there and actually works. I'm curious about the green battery meter that is on the T-Mobile AKU2 rom. Is there a way to make it white? Anyone got a screen shot? Thanks a lot everyone!

I don't know if its the same Green Battery that AlanJC was talking about. But I have one on my O2 XDA, its part of the O2 Active thing. [see blow]

I'd love to keep the battery icon and dump the rest of the O2 Active stuff, [as the phone is mainly used with Orange]

But I wouldn't know where to start. :)

I have the .CAB file if someone would like to try and edit it.
[General Topics] bubu:
may i have your cab please?

and it works on Tytn?
[General Topics] ZaForD:
Hi bubu

It was part of the ExtRom on my XDA Exec, so I don't know if it will work on the Tytn. But I don't see why it wouldn't, as its a Today Plugin.

The CAB file installs alot of other O2 stuff which isn't much use if your not on O2, If you can edit it down to just the Battery let me know. :)

Edit

The CAB file won't upload, I keep getting an Upload Error.

PM me an e-mail address and i'll post it to you.
[General Topics] rain:
The battery application in that o2 build is not a plugin is a standalone exe. Just save it somewhere and save the images. Write down the folders and you can delete anything else.

In the final build it was removed as MSFT pushed its own solution.

Cheers,

Raul
[General Topics] ZaForD:
Hi Rain,

The file i've got is a 6mb .CAB. I extracted it to the desktop, but didn't find any images, EXE or Folders inside.

Is there a special program needed to save it and get at the files ?
[General Topics] mbial:
I believe rain means for you to copy the exe file directly off of your device and to then copy the corresponding images files (also from your device) assuming we put them in the right places on our devices, it's like the battery app will work for us. thanks for all your efforts!

MJB
[General Topics] ZaForD:
Hi mbial,

I think i'll have to leave it to an expert then.

I've spent two weeks trying to find the Orange today plugin files without any luck. :oops:
[General Topics] rain:
mbial got my point ;)

You can install it once and delete everything else you don't need.

You will not be able to delete battery app after restart because its running and images i think you can figure them out. All files are to be found under windows\Mobile Solutions\O2ActiveUI folder. If you're unsure what image to leave than do not delete the "images" subfolder.

The reason for telling you that you need to keep this files on your local PC is that in the last RUU the battery app is replaced by MSFT's two-states battery app.

Cheers,

Raul

So I just installed skype yesterday, and it ran fine, somehow today when I try to run it, the window busy logo pops up but than it never launches! I tried uninstall than reinstall to my device, than the SD card, but still no luck.... I click on the icon and it just won't launch, I check all my running apps, it's not listed in there......

same thing with my pocketSnes, it will launch fine, but when I try to load any ROM, it will just disappear.

I have 23mb free on my o2 exec and they are all on my device instead of my SD....

can anyone please help or give any suggestions?

thanks in advance.

I can't seem to figure out how to reassign the Internet Explorer button (next to the space bar) to open Opera. Likewise, it defaults to an O2 page in its current state.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xdaradar:
i'm not sure about your device, but on my qtec9090 there's an IE icon on a button on the hardware keypad almost next to the spacebar. And by default it was linked to a webpage from the phonecompany. Looks very familar to your question.

On my qtec9090 this button is defined via the buttons-settings and it's button number 9.

Maybe this helpes?

did u try \settings\personal\buttons

there u can map the program :wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] 6680abhi:
Nah, the IE button doesn't show up.

I did it, and as far as I remember all I did was change the PIE homepage to \Program Files\Opera\Opera.exe.

Now, IE will open, but opera will the open. Its the best soution available at the moment.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
There is no way as of now to map the IE button to any application. The only thing we can do as of now is change PIE home page with the WiKi Instructions.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] 6680abhi:
Read my post above :wink: . You can use it to open Opera!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Krinkiespijer:
...if you change, for button 2, with total commander the link inside

\windows\appsbuttons]Internet Explorer.lnk

anybody knows whether there are language and/or other issues that make the US.26 ROM NOT compatible with TMobile UK Vario? I unlocked my CID when I upgraded from TMo UK 1.x to Mr Clean 2.24 by the way.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Shah2:
I just finished installing the 2.26 ROM on my MDA Vario Dutch Edition.

So I don't think any language barriers should be an issue.

Reception is ok. and don't see any problems up till now.

Good luck installing if you decide to upgrade. I must say it feels faster.

Cheers,

Shah.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] barneyhead:
Hi,

Well I think the language (upgrade/CID unlock) is the problem for ROM 2.xx and higher (Wizard, T-Mobile Dutch). Please correctg me if I am wrong (and tell how to do it) ;-)

gtz
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Shah2:
Hi Barneyhead,

I don't know about upgrading from 2.xx ROMs but I upgraded from a 1.3 ROM Dutch version MDA Vario.

I first of all used the Lokiwiz 0.2b tool to unlock(U) and CIDunlock(C) my phone.

After that I downloaded the US T-mobile ROM 2.26 and ran the installer.

I didn't have any issues with language or other setting what so ever.

It just replaced the Dutch version ROM with the US version ROM and now I'm running the new version without any problems.

Cheers,

Shah
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] barneyhead:
Hello,

thnaks for your answer. Yes, I think it is possible with your version of ROM. I found somewhere in forums how to pass CID lock for new versions too.

cheers.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gooshy:
With previous roms I have used the Cingular settings were hard coded for gprs access. This meant that if you didnt change them you were charged very high prices for sending data from the UK to the US then back to the UK again. Can the settings on this rom be changed?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] derkie:
:?: How can sending data to the US and back to UK be possible when connection is only based on APN, and these access point is related to the simcard. :?:

So, in your case matey as you are in T-mobile UK no matter what ROM you use as long as your APN is general.t-mobile.uk ; username: user and password: one2one (it's the only connection you can use anyway) then it will be just the same charge. :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] gooshy:
The rom I am currently on had a similar problem where the setting for the connection was already set. Someone posted that they have been charged £40 for just checking their email, http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=52521&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75 :

So my question was just to check if anyone had similar problems with this rom.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] derkie:
That is CSD settings mate or Dial-up not GPRS. Again, that is in the network settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joomlad:
so, one quick question, i realise because of the new bootloader that you can't flash back to 4.3 using odin, but is it possible using Mobile Odin? as it used to be when 4.3 was out?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
No, you cant
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joomlad:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lordofazeroth:
A question regarding lagfix.

Is this still needed on a GNex running Android 4.4.2 Remix from burstlam?

I know fstrim has been implemented in 4.3.

Is using lagfix on Remix 4.4.2 harmful?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I've used it with remix with no problems at all..it sure helped with my need for speed and real racing 3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
It depends.

If you reboot your device once a day it could be needed.

We talked about this within the Dirty V kernel thread. ;)

The fstrim implementation runs once every 24hrs, and only if idle for 8hrs and above 80%battery life OR 30%battery life while plugged in and idle. But only after 24hrs uptime.

Which I rarely ever reach cuz I swap batteries and reboot a lot.

So [MENTION=1143630]osmosis[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4608636]bsmitty83[/MENTION] looked to remedy this by giving ability to run fstrim at different intervals.

But if you arent running dirty or Smitty kernel and set it on, you prolly won't see the benefits unless you match criteria above.

And if that's so, then yes fstrim lagfix app could still be beneficial to you

And no, it isn't hurting anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I've used it on several different kernels at least once daily and it always has resolved my lag issues with real racing 3 ..I've tried every kernel available and lagfix seems to be the only fix for lag in this game..no kernel has ever not had lag with this game using remix..I don't have this problem with any other ROM except liquid smooth..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
Are you talking about seeder lagfix or fstrim lagfix?

And it's like I said, fstrim will only run on ANY kernel after 24hrs up time. No reboots. IF battery is at certain level AND idle for a while

With the way I use device that means fstrim will NEVER run. So fstrim lagfix app is needed to remedy that.

I'm not sure why fstrim would make a racing game perform better, but if it works go for it. I was answering OP anyways ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I use fstrim..seeder has never worked that great for me..it tends to keep my entropy way to low..I just run lagfix manually once daily and just after I run it all the lag in real racing 3 goes away..I feel like I'm on a ps4 its so smooth..why it works I don't know but it does :) if I don't run it before starting the game it does a lot of slow motion during each race..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
Yea I feel ya

Been plenty of times where I've not known WHY something that seems unrelated would help something but it DOES so l just stick with it. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lordofazeroth:
Thank you for the answers :cowboy:

seeder lagfix or fstrim lagfix?

I meant fstrim lagfix. Not the entropy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
Yup, I knew YOU meant the fstrim one(you mentioned it in post ;) )

I was just confused if that's what other poster meant(only cuz I thought the entropy one would have more impact on gaming performance although I was wrong :) )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
Why not Make a nandroid and try each one? Every phone and every user is different..what works for one may not work for the other..seeder changes a lot more then just using ladfix does..it helps with killing adds and adjust your entropy..for me entropy works best at 128 while it works best at 256 on the wife's phone..again..every user and set up is different..if one don't do what your looking for restore with your nandroid and try the next one..

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] RoachForLife:
My apologies as this isnt really device specific although I do use a Note 3 with ATT. I have had a family plan for at least 8 years now, and have always been on unlimited plan for my line (Im the acct holder). Yesterday I logged into my account to see that it was now a '10gb Family Shared Plan'. I call them up and they can't tell me why or how this changed but will be looking into it.

Ironically last month was the first time I surpassed the 5gb throttle limit. Its almost as though they are purposely downgrading my plan.

Anyways not too happy about this and hopefully its a relatively smooth transition back. Just annoyed this 'randomly' happened. Has anyone else experienced something like this lately?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
Have you been tethering? I've heard of it happening when excessive tethering was used without a tethering plan. I was warned once. I dont risk it anymore. I love my family unlimited too much.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] RoachForLife:
No, never tether. I only used 5 gigs last month because I got a new car with bluetooth (yeh, welcome to the 21st century right! lol) and stream for 2 hours a day since i commute a lot. I probably used just over 5gigs though as I got the text notifying me of my usage just days before the end of the billing cycle.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
That is unusual then. Hopefully it was a mistake. I've gone over 5gb a few times. My daughter did 12gb once. I mean it's unlimited. Right? :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Delakit:
Sprint was "unlimited" too though ;) Look where that got me :D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] slimslim:
Does the 10gb plan include tethering? I might switch if it does, I have unlimited but hardly ever go over 1gb...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theorioles33:
It does and it's actually cheaper per month.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jc2470:
Actually everyone on family share plan with 10 or more gig data automatically got switched over, I had mine changed to it and the lady told me everyone would be switched over automatically. I'm sure they will switch u back, but we're probably hoping people would be willing to sacrifice unlimited for cheaper overall.
