[Sony Xperia L] CHARLY_1986:
Greetings fellow , several weeks ago I decided to unlock the bootloader to test different ROM , I tried many and I stay with cyanogenmod . Given that came to my C2104 official update from sony to 15.3.a.1.17 , I decided to lock my bootloader . I tried a few hours the new official firmware and I was so disappointed by his failures I decided to return to the CyanogenMod ROM . I went to unlock my bootloader but since every ROM I try very unstable , contacts are lost , almost all applications I open lock and close, I have signal problems wifi and 3G (perform all wipes needed for each installation used ) . because I 'm desperate .. block before returning to my bootloader any ROM that proved it worked perfect, but now after the new block and subsequent release any ROM is stable. To top it all went back to the stock ROM 15.3.a.1.14 that has been the stock that has worked best for me and I will ... Did fatal ruin my xperia for having repeatedly locked and unlocked bootloader ? sorry my English
[Sony Xperia L] mizukage:
i dont get the question u r asking..hehe but i think u r asking if relocking and unlocking bootloader will damage or ruin the phone, am i right? we'll to solve ur problem there are instances that it will brick ur phone and there are instance also that it will succesfully loack, i think it will be differ on the build of the board..just an advice, if u wanted to try other ROMs better not to relock ur bootloader so it wont mess up ur phone..stay unlock
[Sony Xperia L] CHARLY_1986:
Thanks for replying. I know the risks of opening the bootloader. In short I mean, excluding damage, the phone may become unstable by opening and closing the bootloader
[General Questions and Answers] mix4242:
I have bought the chines Star S9, fooled by the low price and extremely high specs, from here: flosmall.com/phones/star-s9-red-detail

And I must say that despite the phone having terrible battery life, randomly going to sleep, being on constant roaming (it was charging me as normal - ufff), having weird chines app installed that couldn't be removed (spyware or surveillance - never know with Chinese), the smart cover not working and having the most absurd themes(there was in fact no way to delete them or go back to original theme) i was happy having payed 175 pounds for a phone with FHD screen and 32 gb rom. Then after a month of it it dropped from about 50cm to a wooden floor, and the screen cracked in two(irony is it split right down the middle - left hand side is unresponsive while right works fine). When will they make screens that last (i know that iphone screens are good, but for android i heard ppl complain even about newest phones dropping from small distances and cracking).

Anyways here finally is my question. Does anyone know or have any information where i can get a replacement screen? Even the part number of screen would be helpful. Hell the website of manufacturer would be a plus (many star phones on Amazon but no manufacturer website - WTF??)

Message to all, DEFINITELY DO NOT BUY FROM CHINA or from outside Europe and America. 2nd DO NOT BUY CHEAP CHINESE PHONES I know just how tempting it is but save yourself the trouble and waste of money.

Thnaks for any help given,

Best,

Max

Cracked Screen

hi,the same thing happened to me a couple of days ago. I have been looking everywhere and the only thing helpful I have found was a 'LCD with Touch Screen Digitizer Assembly for Star S9 5.0 inch' on Aliexpress

However I don't know how to install the screen and it costs another £75.

If you know how to install screens or can help in anyway please do.

This phone cost me a lot of money and I don't want to waste it.

Thanks

Hi, as title states, i purchased a HOX+ 64gb which did not boot, tried factory settings etc etc and always got stuck, tried finding an RUU and could not find for my version....

Anyway, been reading for 2 weeks on here and tried a few various things to get it to boot.

All failed until Android Revolution.

I put a custom recovery on, think its Team Venom Mod of TWRP

Unlocked The bootloader following instructions on here HTC Dev.

flashed boot.img extracted from AndroidRev8.0 zip (did not flash in fastboot so used a script that allows to flash from recovery on this forum)

Flashed the rom from recovery, and brilliant, the phone loads up, wifi bluetooth all work, just IMEI is unknown.

I've tried a few other roms from here, and they all do the same, only thing i have not tried is nandroid backup, but ive not read about them enough yet to trust myself in what im looking for.

I will post fastboot getvar all shortly, but at present im trying a locked bootloader with an RUU i just found while writing this....

Any suggestions for me to try??

Just a random thought .. Has anyone heard of any viruses/trojans/worms etc for Windows Mobile 5?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
nope.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Xerxes8933a:
When I first got my phone I err.... how shall we say.... tried to 'extend' the trial duration of a particular piece of software by installing a cracked version which I am convinced had some kind of malware embedded in it.

After installing the cracked version of the app the phone would automatically try and make a GPRS data connection and transmit / recieve data every time it was powered up - even did so after deleting the app. I never let it stay connected for more than a few seconds so didn't have a clue what it was trying to send or recieve but I'm convinced it wasn't an anti-piracy measure.

Eventually I hard reset the device and manually reinstalled everything minus that one cracked app - I've never had the problem since and yes I did buy a genuine version of the software afterwards (less hassle in the long run :) ).

Most worrying thing is that at the same time I was evaluating most of the Antivirus/Malware packages for WM5 and none of them picked it up or flagged any errors/problems - even those supposedly supporting Heuristics.

Like I said I'm convinced the file was some kind of trojan/malware and as a note of caution to anyone considering playing around with warez'd stuff - remember play carefully!!!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
Your antivirus software didn't pick it up, because it's not a virus.

Unfortunately, the hacked product you were using was doing exactly what it was programmed to do... There is definitely something to be said for using only "Signed" applications from legitimate vendors!

I hate to say it, but "it serves you right..." Don't steal software! ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Xerxes8933a:
@goestoeleven

The original poster actually asked about viruses/trojans/worms etc. not just viruses, hence my reply to him.

Regarding your comments...

Firstly, at least two of the antivirus/security software packages I was testing supposedly also detected Trojans and other malware so your somewhat conceited reply is factually incorrect.

I'd also like to point out that very few of the applications I have purchased from legitimate vendors are actually 'signed' - this was certainly the case with original vendor supplied CAB file of the 'infected' application that I eventually purchased.

Finally, I would like to remind you that I did state that I eventually bought the software concerned as I have done with all the software I use on my phone (and my PC for that matter) and therefore I resent the implication that I have 'stolen' anything.

I appreciate your comments may have been well intentioned and somewhat 'tongue in cheek' but I don't feel your comments of 'nope' and those you listed above really contributed to the discussion regarding the possibility of WM5 malware being out there...

regards...

Xerxes
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
Well, I'm glad you received my message in the light-hearted manner in which it was intended.

Back to spyware/viruses/malware: people that write these things want to access/infect as many machines as possible. To do so, and to ensure their maximum bang-for-the-buck, their best bet has always been the Windows desktop install base. There's a reason why you haven't seen too many (if any) viruses for OS/2, linux, or Mac... it's simply not worth it.

Now the PPC platform is certainly growing, and contributors to this board are certainly a big part of that. Do I think that there could be a potential for bad stuff on WM5 devices? ABSOLUTELY, and you've seen it yourself.

But do I think it's an imminent threat and/or "clear and present danger?"

Nope! ;) (tongue-in-cheek again)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lucas0511:
We protect our desktops - and leave our GPRS/UMTS-PDAs wide open? Not me. Using http://www.protectstar.com/englisch/home.shtml firewall for WM5. Developed in Germany.

Not exactly a steal at 40 dollars I believe, but protects from phonehome, dialer and - in the Pro version - from viruses.

Anyway to get rid of the grid that shows up on a contact picture? From what I searched, it has to do with the picture being low resolution but I still want to get rid of it. Anyone have a mod to do so?

Thank you.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimilaci:
Well, itt might now be the perfect answer for your question, but in order to remove the grid" I use sync.me software, which syncs the Facebook pictures with my contact entries. Of course after that I sync it with google (contacts) and its good...till next restore.

the Problem is that Google gmail/contacts cannot store bigger than 512x512 px picture (you can correct me if I am wrong)

So give it a shot, its fun and you have always up to date pictures :)

In the future though, it's best to back up the contents of your SD card and manually format the card before inserting it into another device.

There's a saying in the world of storage. "If it's not backed up, it's not important".

Hi everyone!

I've just released my first android game, so I thought I'd share it with you all.

I would be so happy if you could try it and let me know what you think!

The game is called 'Fruit Rush' and it's an arcade game. The goal is to avoid falling fruits from reaching the top of the screen by tapping on groups of the same kind. There are also special items that can be used to destroy more fruits at once. These items can be bought and upgraded to make them more powerful by spending coins collected by playing, allowing to get a higher score. It's a simple game, but funny and addictive.

A trailer can be found via Youtube here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQmXbkDnoFo

And here are some screenshots of the game:

more here: http://imgur.com/a/HBoam

Game can be downloaded for free from Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.marcos10.fruitrush

I learned a LOT while making this game and I'm pretty proud of it, being my first android game :)

Any suggestion or comment is very welcome!

I hope you like it! :)

Hi all. Soon (as soon as I end my mega carrier contract) I will be purchasing an unlocked HTC One M8 direct from HTC. I will use a nano simm from the new Cricket Wireless.

I believe this unlocked version is same as ATT&T sku. Buying unlocked, I can freely change carriers, and avoid a lot of bloat ware.

My question is, Is this the correct forum for that phone / carrier combination? I ask because I am sure I will be rooting, experimenting, etc.

Thank you all in advance!

My Nexus 5 recently ran out of battery and turned off. Now it won't charge for some reason, regardless of whether I use the USB charger or the wireless one. Trying to boot into the bootloader while plugged in doesn't work either. The phone is 100% stock no root or anything if that matters.

Hi everyone,

I've noticed something since I updated my phone to kitkat 4.4.2 (it's a Z1 compact).

Whenever I use another app than my default app to send SMS, eg. I'm using SMSPopup, Glowfly or event another "real" SMS app along with my default one (let's say hangouts or Handcent), I have duplicate sent SMS, that means I have twice my sent messages in my list. I didn't have this issue on JB.

I tried to tweak access/read/write permissions via AppOps but the result is still the same. I now have to use the same app for popups/Notifications and SMS. Other SMS apps are useless because they duplicate the text messages.

Does anyone has the same problem ? How can I fix this ?

Thanks a lot !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] json007:
Make sure this is set correctly:

1. From your home screen, open Settings and head into “More…” under Wireless & Networks.

2. If running Android 4.4, you should see an option for “Default SMS app.”

3. Tap on that.

4. A window should appear with all apps that could be a potential SMS app.

5. Tap the one you want to use.

(This list is a copy/paste from an external link, DroidLife, which I'm not allowed to link to due to my scarce forum acitivty ;) )

Sorry for a late answer and hope you get, or maybe you've already gotten, the issue resolved.

So Im going to start from the beginning. I have a Verizon Note 3 MJE, rooted with VROOT, cool now Im rooted.

Now i wanted a Custom Rom, So i downloaded Safestrap 3.64 and the Hyperdrive Rom. All good..

Go into the slots of Safestrap recovery create the partition, install HyperDrive and hit Reboot...

Phone reboots but the screen stays blank.. Go do my research and says wait 5-10 minutes after install for w.e reason..

20 minutes go by... go back into safestrap re do process... nothing again.. decided to go back to stock download all Safestraps and one by one start to install and uninstall trying to verify that i have installed the correct Safestrap for installing the Rom... (i know don't tell me Im an idiot but it made sense last night) nothing that i did work... so went back to stock JB 4.3 so now Im rooted as i began...

go into the Safestrap app and uninstall from recovery this one was Safestrap 3.71.. phone is working fine..

So I have no Safestrap im good... set my phone down to clean my car, the phone Wont turn on..:eek::eek::eek::eek:

NOOOOOOOO, IDK for the life of me What happened... So i try every button possible, nothing! Recovery Nothing!!!

I plug it to charge it shows the pre charging battery then shuts and repeats...

figured let me try holding Down-Menu-Power while is doing that ... i get into Download mode, Not gonna lie i cried a little lol

Flashed the Stock Firmware 4.3 with the VZW note 3 32g PIT file... finishes ... Resets now Stuck on BOOTLOOP with the Custom Note 3 Splash screen and on top says Entering Recovery but never does... I Have Tried almost everything but hit it with a BAT!!! Can someone please help me...
