[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnafan1:
Hello all,

I'm posting this in hopes of getting a little information about my Ulefone U650. I contacted merimobiles.com about my phone because I'm in need of some repairs. Long story short, I feel like they're trying to take advantage of me. I asked them for the name of the manufacturer so I can speak with them directly and maybe get the parts I need to have my phone repaired. This is what the representative told me they were going to have to do anyways because the phone isn't as new as the other phones they have available. Anyways, In order to cut out the middle man, I'm opting to fix the phone myself. I just need the parts. I've looked online for any information about the manufacturer and I can't even find a name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is in the wrong spot. If so, please move it to the correct location, moderator. :)

I notice alot of cellphones have the same wifi mac after being flashed with cyanogenmod, wich is a problem for me as i just bought 2 xt912 and started to have problems when trying to use wifi at home. I tried changing my mac adress by modifying the /system/etc/firmware/ti-conectyviti/wl1271-nvs.bin and wl1271-nvs-128x.bin with a hex editor and that seems to fix the problem, unfortunyli i did not keep the box so i dont know wich mac adress i had so i can spoof the mac adress with the original.

so, does anyone knows how to fix it?

I'm on cm11 nightlies and have a different mac address than what you show in your title.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abispac:
but just by googling the mac adress, ie seen its a common problem, but i dont see a solution.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
You're right it has been a recurring problem for quite a while. So what might be different between your setup and mine? It looks like this problem occurs when the factory mac info is not passed by the bootloader to the custom rom kernel, in that case the rom kernel creates one.

I'm running Safestrap 3.73 and don't seem to have the problem on my phone.

(I did some more checking on a hunch..)

Running Safestrap and booting with a ROM in Slot 1, I ended up with the 00:da:36:16:de:eb mac address.

I actually have the stock slot flashed and don't use the slots. With Safestrap booting from the Stock slot, I get a different mac address. It is the same mac address every boot. The mac address assigned does not show up in a Google search so I presume it is unique.

It looks like the solution is to flash your stock slot if you want your real MAC address to be applied. I'm going to post this info in the Safestrap thread to see if this is a known issue or something that can be fixed.

Hy,

Is it possible to hack the system drivers for the LEDs of a Windows Mobile device? So you can fully customize the appearance of the LEDs. A flashing red/blue LED for a new incoming SMS would be great.

The people in german forums said: It is definitely not possible to do that. But it´s posible to hack PayTV, so I think it should also possible to hack an WM5 device.
[General Topics] Ingvarr:
Its possible.

Just very hard to do ;)
[General Topics] belinea:
Of course this could be useful (Notification LED Drivers)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/wceddk5/html/wce50oriNotificationLEDDrivers.asp

But it seems that you can only read the status of a LED, but you cannot set the status.
[General Topics] vijay555:
That's not quite correct, you can change the status of the leds (for leds, that curiously includes the vibrator). VJEschaton has this functionality I think.

However, the leds the OS controls are just the notification led (the one that turns orange on alarms etc) and vibrate.

The other leds could be controlled, but probably not without some ingenuity.

I flashed the MOAR ROM about 3 days ago. Since then I haven't been able to send group texts or receive them in Hello SMS or Hovercraft SMS. Is anybody else having this problem?

Can someone help me with getting my phone back to stock (t-mobile) and update it to the newest version of android?

I tried the most things but now it's back to a different stock then my t-mobile version.

I hope someone can help/do this with me? Maybe with a chat on skype or something?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thorvindr:
I've been running CM10.1.3 and mostly loving it.

The thing that bothers me is that my "external" SD card is essentially useless. The only thing I can do with it is manually copy files to and from.

Ideally, I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to install apps to my SD card (preferably by default, but I'd settle for being able to easily move them), as well as set it as my default storage location (that's less important) for everything except system apps. For example, I can't tell Chrome to do anything but download to the default location, so I need that default location to be where I want it so that I don't have to manually copy every single file Chrome downloads.

I understand there's a way to fool the OS into thinking that my SD card is actually the internal memory, but that doesn't solve my problem. I need to be able to selectively move apps and storage directories to the SD card, otherwise I'll have exactly the same problem I have now. My SD card is bigger than my internal memory, but the difference of 4gb doesn't really sound like a solution.

I feel like I've jumped through enough hoops getting CM10 to do what I need it to do, and I'm ready to abandon it for something new. I'll try anything; the only requirement is that I need to be able to install or move apps to my SD card. I don't need the OS to do it right in the app manager; If I have to use Rom Toolbox or Titanium Backup or some other app to do it, I'm fine with that. But that function of those apps doesn't work on CM10.

I understand that there are nightly builds of CM11 available for the Note 2, but they're listed as "unstable" for a reason, and I'm not sure (though not entirely against) I'm interested in having to flash up to the new build every couple days. I think I'd be pretty safe with CM, but I don't want to be stuck without some device function I consider vital because today's build borked it.

Part of me wants to be convinced that getting on the CM nightly train is worth my while, and part of me just wants to be given a solution of "here is the ROM you're looking for."

So is there a JB or KK ROM out there that will do what I need? Am I just boned until a CM11 RC shows up? Is there a reasonably sure-fire way to make CM10 do this (I've tried every one of a very long list of solutions and have had no success without wiping and reflashing)?

ART runs fine and fast in my opinion, have tried running it on paranoidNexus (Android 4.4.4) for LBL. The only thing that doesn't work with it that I've found is xposed. Xposed will probably be made to work for Android L's version of ART (i.e. final) but not the kitkat version according to the dev as they are quite different.

If you have a 4.4.x ROM then definitely switch. If you love xposed modules then don't.

Hi there

I am desperate for advice and support on how to develop an android app that plays music audio files.

The app itself would have a home screen, about screen and a tracks screen.

The user when they navigate to tracks screen would have a list view of music audio files they can listen to on their android device.

The music audio file itself can either be stored in a SQL server database or ftp site , I don't know what would be best in terms of delivering optimal performance for end user?

The app would be like a service that would just play in the back ground allowing users to use their phone whilst listening to the music track(s).

My problems are:

- how can I actually develop this?

- there are no tutorials on the net, all music playing apps on YouTube, stack overflow and other websites do not show how to read music from SQL or ftp server.

I would be eternally grateful to anyone who could kindly advise me:

- best way to store each music audio file? Ftp or SQL

- in any case SQL would have to be used I believe to store the weblinks if I were to use FTP

- each music file of which there are around 150-180 is around 100mb in size and is of mp3 quality

Please , please , please can you help me develop this? Or guide me so I may be able to do it.

Please advise me on best way to set this up and get me started...

Thank you in advance
[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
sounds like you need to do lots more research and maybe a few tutorials for a better understanding. I would suspect 99% of developers would host file though http/s (not ftp) and yes all song info and metadata in SQL and delivered though php.

Binary Storage in SQL is not out of the question using BLOBS but not well suited in your case.

hope that helps, sounds simple enough
[Java for Android App Development] xirokx:
thanks for your reply

i have tried looking for tutorials for hours on end and its a very niche area, i could not find any.....do you know of any? have you tried looking for tutorials?

how do you host mp3 files using HTTPs ?

if its that simple, perhaps you would not mind guiding me to acheive it?

the page in the app which contains the mp3 files would have a listview or gridview with the names of the mp3s so when user clicks on them the mp3 plays in the background...

perhaps you can create an example if possible? i would be so grateful.

thank you
[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
You will never find a tutorial to do an exact app for what you want :) But you will find 1000's of how to store and use data from a database, 1000's for how to use mySQL and php in android, 1000's for listviews and gridviews powered by adapters and data and again 1000's or hundreds on how to stream audio from web servers using android

upload them ? not sure what your question is here, you place the file on the server and use the URL ?

It contains such a generic set of tasks you really dont need me to write it for you.... I'm always happy to answer direct specific questions, but you will seldom get an answer for "how do I do x app"... but like I said, what you want is very common, so there is tonnes of resource online
[Java for Android App Development] xirokx:
thanks for your reply

If only the world was perfect and I could find an "exact" tutorial.....If I thought it was that easy I would never have started my thread.

really? 1000s or 100s.....yet you cannot point me to one?

if it is that generic and simple, I do not understand why you cannot guide me more, at least to the 1000's or 100's of tutorials you claim that exist and especially as I have mentioned I cannot find them.

Try and see it from my point of view, I am new to this, trying, well actually REALLY REALLY want to learn, have spent hours researching for adhoc tutorials that will enable me to grasp the "generic" concept and have not found much / anything to help me.

Then you come along and make such a bold claim basically saying its "simple and easy, generic and quite straightforward" yet you cannot backup your claim by providing any of these "easy to find, 1000's or 100s tutorials" and are not willing to help any more then this.

Personally if I thought something was that easy, how much of my valuable time is it really going to take me, to provide someone who wants to learn with a few lines of code to get them started, especially after making such BOLD claims....

If I was not willing to, I would not even bother replying, it would have been far more beneficial if you responded with some example code rather then claiming how simple it was to do, I see no evidence that is it so easy only your claims...

Thanks for your time

maybe you can solve this, perhaps its "challenging" enough for ya ;)

this is my android java code that a) connects to my db b) uses the Name field from my db to populate a listview in my app c) when any single listview item is selected, it uses the name in the listview matches it to the dbName and plays the dbFile which contain a URL to where the mp3 is stored:

private void connect() {

List<String> r = new ArrayList<String>();

data=EntityUtils.toString(entity);

Problem is:

- It doesnt open mediaplayer or streaming player on the emulator

- If track 1 is playing and I click on track 3 it plays both tracks simulateously

- as there is no media/stream player view you cannot pause/stop/play the track that is being played

pls help me fix these issues, if you can

thanks

p.s. I did use your links to get me this far, now I am genuinely stuck and would really appreciate a hand

thanks appreciate it
[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
Dont work with the emulator at all, I only use real devices, but if you mean the media player app, then thats due to you not using it. You're using the media player class.

Thats cause you create another instance that every click (or new instance rather). I would assume that you just should have 1 and stop/reuse it.

Well you would create buttons to do that yourself.

I am now debugging my app on my device :)

I have changed the code a little so only 1 file plays at any one time and it works....

However when I click on the list item, a menu opens up asking which browser I want to play the file in....when instead it should open a list of mediaplayers for me to play the file in.

How can I change it?

Thanks for your help.
[Java for Android App Development] deanwray:
well thats the way it will work if down to the user not choosing a default and also the way you set it up.... I do reccomend you read the android docs like http://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-filters.html

it will help when asking question and most of the time you wont have to ask cause the answers are there.
