Hi,

I notice there is quite a difference in prices betwen a number of different BT GPS devices I have been looking at, despite the mall using the SiRF Star III chipset.

Can anyone tell me if there is really that much difference between the units given the same chipset? As an example, I find I can get the BT-74S for half the price of the BT-338 whe nto all intents and purposes the specs for the 2 units appears identical. (And the Holux GR271 and the 236 are cheaper still).

I'll be using the device for incar navigation (TomTom and OziExplorer) using my JAMin (Prophet), so with access to a charging socket, battery life is not as important to me as it may be to others (i.e. one unit lasting 15 hours and another 17 hours is not a deciding factor in the purchase...)

I've used the Holux 236 with my M2000 and found it to be really good - quick to get a fix and never had any problems with it dropping out. Bluetooth connection seems stable etc. Haven't tried it on my new Hermes yet, but given my previous experience, I'm not expecting any issues!

Hi all,

new to this forum and before continuing i will say to admins and moderators i have read the rules but i do appolgise if this question has previously been asked and answered but i have looked everywhere to answer this question through out the net and here but just cant seem to find the answer i look for for this tablet..?

My question is probably simple to some..

basically i have had a galaxy tab 2 7" GT-P3110 for some time now and i rooted it awhile ago with out any problems..

now after awhile i have now decided i want to update the tablet.. to the latest firmware. now we all know that we cant do this simple because it says device status custom or modified..

so i have tried many things now and the devise is reset but still on custom..

can anyone please tell me the way to basically reset this so i can update it?

i have unrooted it via supersu and reset it via factory reset..

i have tried to update via kies but no joy..

i have downloaded odin but have not got a clue where to get a official firmware.. and not sure if im doing it the right way or heading the right way.. can anyone help ?

regards mogs..
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokesh.3440:
Follow these steps :

1) First download Samsung firmware from GT-P3110 Firmware

2) Download the P3110 firmware based on your region or from any region but you need to wipe/cache reset in case you are going to flash from the region you are not residing.

3) Extract the firmware using winrar,winzip or 7zip,you will get a files with tar.md5 extension..

4) Open odin,please see only these options are checked. Auto-reboot and F.Reset Time,,plese uncheck all other options.

5) click on PDA and select the firmware you have got after extraction

6) Now click on start.

7) you should get a message in the left bottom panel saying "Successful".

8) your tablet will restart.

9) switch it off by pressing Power off button

10) Now immediately press Power button+volume up button for few seconds until you see samsung boot logo and leave power button but keep on pressing volume up button until you see android logo i.e recovery mode.

11) Wipe factory reset from menu and restart.

Enjoy Buddy.

Ok Hi all,

I have just inherited my gf's HTC Sensation XE i'm on another network and so i need to unlock it. whilst i'm at it i may aswell update to kit kat as it appears that i need to root the phone anyway.

So i need to follow this guide to unlock the phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1232107

which as i said need to root the thing.

next I suffer from the HTCDEV bootloader problem as this is a 2nd motherboard, the original being sent back to HTC after 6months or so of the contract it was on and so the HTCDEV doesn't work.

That lead me to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661631

following those instructions I get as far as using controlbear and it just fails to root or unlock the bootloader.

That then lead me to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668276&page=63

I got the controlbear files from the last page of one of the guides here is the link to the file:https://www.dropbox.com/s/8toj5hbrgidbu3h/ControlBearRelease_pyramid_ICS_WIN.zip in case that has something to do with it.

The HTC Sensation/XE/4G Super Utility (AIO) by kgs1992 v8.0 got the furthest. the program runs and you get to controlbear and controlbear runs all the way up to loading juopunutbear where it just stays in bootloader and never restarts. the timer times out and it quits out of controlbear and offers u a retry. retrying any number of times seems to make no difference what-so-ever. Temp root works fine but obv i cannot do anything in that mode, what is going on? The phone is originally Orange it's on Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3, software number 3.33.401.153, hboot 1.29.0000.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction or to the correct files.

Thanks very much

It's not Google Voice that you are needing. You need to install Google Search. When you do... open it and it will have you sign in. Install the widget on your home screen and you can you voice to activate it and do searches.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambam2k3:
Folks,

Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated.

Running stock 4.4.2, rooted, Franco Kernel, w/ Xposed ( GravityBox ) and Tasker

Has anyone else had problems with a single button wired headset intermittently launching a classic looking voice dialer versus the new voice search stuff when using the headset's button?

I basically have a Tasker profile that unlocks and wakes my phone after I plug in my headset. This all works fine.

Problem is, when trying to actually use the headset to call someone, this classic looking (and I say that because it's a black background with white text, nothing fancy) voice dialer comes up but no matter what, can not make out what I am asking it to do.

If I hit the back button and try the headset button again, it will then sometimes go to the new voice search and work completely as expected. Not every time. Sometimes the classic dialer wants to hang around for 2 or 3 attempts.

Anyone seen this before? I was hoping to find a way to just disable this 'classic' voice dialer because I'm essentially trying to have my phone be more hands free if the headset is plugged in and know the new voice search works just fine.

Thanks,

bambam2k3
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joannn:
Could you try starting your device in safe mode and not running any apps you've installed to test if one of them is causing the problem? If you don't experience the problem while in safe mode that's a good indication that an app you've installed is the source of your issue.

I'd appreciate it if you could let me know how your safe mode test went after you get a chance to give it a try.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambam2k3:
Joannn,

Thanks for the thoughts.

I tested safe mode and the classic voice dialer does not come up at all so it definitely has to be some sort of app or weird way my system is calling something when using the headset in normal mode.

I tried the following with no success in normal mode:

1) Disabled Xposed and all modules - rebooted - no change

2) Disabled tasker and tested with just plugging in the headset and testing the button - no change

3) Switched from Nova launcher back to stock launcher - no change

4) Uninstalled a headset button control app - no change

So, I'm not sure why the phone randomly thinks this old dialer is the correct one to launch, nor do I have any idea where it is coming from. It doesn't appear to be a separate app and even when I look through the system apks, I see nothing that looks like it references this classic voice dialer. Not sure what's triggering it.

instead of looking in your app drawer, since apps dont always get put there, open the phones main settings, apps, and look there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambam2k3:
I've got to assume it's something related to Tasker or the Secure Settings plugin for it. I uninstalled every single app I could think of that may have had the ability to make any calls of any nature, and in Settings>Apps I don't see the Voice Dialler at all, even before I started uninstalling things.

Without Tasker being used, I haven't seen the bad dialer come back again.

Was really only using tasker to get around the fact that the headset button is ignored if the phone is pin locked. Guess I'll try and find another way around it.

Thanks for your help,

bambam2k3
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambam2k3:
Okay, I'm going to take that back.

It's got to be stock somehow. I read some other posts and a quick google image search shows other people with the same dialer, especially when using bluetooth headsets from the lockscreen. I've pretty much removed everything from my phone aside from the stock apps. In the varying posts I've seen, the spelling is incorrect in 50% of them, and I don't know maybe if that has something to do with the language settings of the phone.

I also tested a bluetooth headset that had never been paired with my phone before and when the phone is locked, I get the odd dialer, when it's unlocked, I get the proper google voice search.

My next step would be to completely wipe and reinstall. But, I think I'm going to keep trying to figure this out before going to that length.

--bambam2k3
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the spelling incorrect is not google. and if it was google, it would be spelled incorrect for all, not 50% of the people. the next question is do you have a mod for your lockscreen? whatever it is, it is not googles app that you screenshoted. and you wrote that in safemode, it didnt appear. which also indicates that its a 3rd party app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bambam2k3:
Simms,

Figured out the 'spelling mistake'. Since I'm Canadian, I was running my phone in English (UK) versus English (US). When I changed it back to English (US), now Dialer is spelled correctly.

As for lockscreen mods, I do have GravityBox running with some Lockscreen tweaks, but in my previous testing, I totally shutdown Xposed. That's all I've got. Had the same problem with it totally disabled.

Just came across this post on Android Police with a lot of comments with the exact same problem I'm having. Seems even with using Tasker and Secure Settings to disable Pin lock, turn off keyguard, wake the device and take it to the homescreen, the phone still thinks the screen is 'off' and brings up the old dialer.

Seeing as the source code for the M8 sense and GPe's various open source components has been released for over a month now, why havent we seen any source built ROMs yet? Things like a Paranoid port or a CM11 port would be welcome on our devices (i know not all of you want it but some of you certainly do). I ask because i am considering building something from source for the M8 and modifying various aspects in order to solve what i perceive as the problems with Android on our device.

Kind of half expected a Tizen or Ubuntu Touch port in the pipes at this point also. But its probably early days for that.

In Nova Launcher, the rendering is handled by the launcher, with MissedIt! as an optional provider. I think the launcher has to support it. You could do it with widgets that look like icons using standalone MissedIt. Otherwise you can try KK launcher which can do unread counts. But the problem with that is the Google Now integration doesn't work with other launchers, so it's not really the same as GEL.

Hi

I wonder if somebody could give me some pointers on how to modify software installtion CAB's so that I can load them into extended ROM so that on a hard reset they automatically install & register..

For example SPB GPS monitor. I've downloaded the CAB and install file. I have installed it to my MDA,registered it and downloaded the tariff file.

Now, I can find the tariff registry file and update the CAB file (using WinCAB). Also, I can search for the registration files in the registry an add those to the CAB file.

But how do I automatically install to the device or storage card without having to specify?? Has anybody customised the install CAB's???

Cheers

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] jako_265:
Well for doing this u must do the following:

1) unhide the extended_rom

2) unlock it

3) view it with a third party program

4) copy into it the .cab u want

5) edit config.txt in extended_rom so it will run the .cab u want.

But the most important thing u must do.... it took me 2 days to find it out and over 20 hard reset... is to first run a .cab file that it will disable the wm5 security. When u install a program not to ask u if it is not authorized.

That is it...
