Hi All

I need some help. I purchased this phone from china and I put in my sim cards and neither of them will access the networks. 1 is a an ATT, and the other other is a family mobile. They are all GSM cards and phone. It was supposed to work with my carriers. I tried to contact some help from the people I bought it from but they are from china and they no understand english and are clueless in translation

I was wondering if any one else had this problem and over came it.

I have been reading all about the people rooting the phone so it must be working for some people

thanks

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong place, but ive been dealing with this all day and still have no working phone and have a serious family issue and need my phone on desperately soon. Ok so i have a sprint gs3 flashed to metro and had to change my number last night. Contacted metro and they were able to do the number change. Then I was able to go in and change the (myphonenumber)@mtropcs.com using ##3282# but cant figure out how to put the new number so as to set it in for When i dial vm. And make other calls and to get mobile data any help is greatly appreciated.

I need a small mobile PDA phone for playing old adventures games with emulators.

I like artemis and gigabyte g-smart i120 and i300.

Thing is.. a pal of mine tried playing full throttle on an OMAP 200mhz but it was really slow. Can anyone do some tests with those emulators and some games? (Full throttle, Space quest 5, King's quest 6....)
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
It all depends on what you are trying to use. There are four emulators to run the games you've mentioned:

two Sierra interpreters; none of them are able to play SQ6 and KQ5 though. With earlier games, however, PocketSarien is pretty good.

ScummVM, which is pretty good, speed-wise

PocketDOS, which I would *not* be use for playing if there're interpreters for the same games

That is, go for ScummVM first if you aren't really into early Sierra adventures
[General Topics] Vrokolos:
I know about the other emulators but as I've said I'm trying to find a mobile that can perform OK in pocketDOS for adventures and also in scummvm for full throttle

my pal's 9100 didn't manage to do either :(
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
PocketDOS will be slow even on high-end PPC's; only games running OK on IBM XT's will be fast enough.
[General Topics] Vrokolos:
I've seen some spb benchmarks for graphics and cpu power of wm5 ppcs.

HTC Trinity (samsung 400mhx) gets 1300ish cpu speed and 1200ish graphics index

HTC Artemis (omap 200mhx) gets 850ish cpu speed and 2700ish graphics index

Gigabyte g-smart i (intel 417mhz) gets 1600ish cpu speed and 4000ish graphics index

Which of these 3 will do better at

a) Full Throttle on scummvm

and b) Space quest 5 and other point and click adventure games on pocketdos

??
[General Topics] Vrokolos:
So.. noone can give me some results?

Come on! Someone must have 2 of the above cpus.

Just try pocketdos with wolfenstein 3d, scummvm with full throttle or pocketgba.

Need the results because I can't decide which device to get :(

PocketGBA runs pretty OK on high-end devices with even the most demanding games. See my benchmarks in my PocketGBA-related articles if interested.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shazard1984:
Hello Everyone,

I'm in need of a little help, please point me in the right direction. I purchased a used Verizon Galaxy S4 with a custom ROM installed. I tried updating the phone from settings, but when installing the update i get a picture of a dead android character with an error. So I guess doing it that way on a custom ROM is a no go. My goal is just to update the phone to the newest stock rom. Do I need to flash? I'm not customed to dealing with flashing android roms, but I'm no slouch in the tech issues, I just need to know where to start.

I know I can google the issue, but theres a million guides, which is why the start process seems difficult.

I've attached a screenshot of the device information.

Thank you very kindly for your time.

Hi guys,

I have an S5360 with the original Samsung ROM and recently the battery drain fast, even with the phone turned off. I've bought a new battery, thinking is that the problem, but with this new battery the smartphone still drain turned off.

There is something I can do to check what is the problem? Is the problem in the hardware?

Thanks!

So i have been googling for hours trying to find a way to boost the volume on my s3 mini but so far no luck, i'm starting to think it's impossible but thinking this is a android phone there must be a way. Has anyone successfully managed to boost volume on your device?
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
Exactly what I was/am and will continue to search for until I find it :D I recently installed Viper4android for clearer audio, but I noticed that it also boosts the volume a bit (I think). Try it out. If it doesn't boost the volume, well, you're gonna have a better sounding phone, at least :)

Yeah V4A is a brilliant piece of software. It does boost the volume slightly making it more clearer and brighter but i'm still left wanting more. This is really annoying and i can't understand why google/samsung would do such a thing removing the ability to use the product just the way you want. I guess it's result of the bloody EU Volume limit that is beyond stupid imo.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koragg97:
Poweramp = best music player ever :)

You can also try setting PowerAmp to Phone Speaker (Loud) equalizer and enabling V4A. That way you'll get clearer, but at the same time louder volume.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] white rose:
Dear Whiz91

Use Volume+ 1.9.0.5 on rooted phone. It's improve the volume highly.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffoucault:
In Cyanogenmod (and it's goes the same for any custom rom I guess) you have that volume limit removed, you get just a warning when you pull the volume beyond that limit. Anyways, I found useful to boost the whole equalizer spectrum to +6db on a custom profile to enhance the volume.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiz91:
I tried that and it only turns the volume down, guess it's the volume limit on my stock phone.

I used to run Maclaws CM 11 but that is just too buggy, but i have come to understand that 10.2 is fairly stable so i will try that rom :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whiz91:
Tried CM and Volume+. CM does NOT remove the volume limit and Volume+ just makes the sound quality into a muddy mess and not really louder. It seems like the battle is lost. ****ing EU rules and regulations...

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Not true. My HTC One X+ is white, but has a black surround around the screen. And honestly, I'd say it's more common for an LCD surround to be black, even on white devices. There's a reason for that: putting a white surround makes the screen look smaller, and calls more attention to the screen when it's switched off.

White surrounds look ugly and cheap; black surrounds look much better.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyoffacliff:
I am getting into development more and have a new load of questions. And yes, I searched first.

Do all Roms include firmware(OS), kernal, baseband, and boot loader?

Do over-the-air updates include the baseband and boot loader, or only the kernal and firmware/(OS).

I once used the Wugfreth toolkit to reinstall the stock ROM. It flashed the baseband with the same version and then attempted to flash the boot loader with the same version, but failed. How can I JUST flash the kernal and firmware/os.

This may be dumb question, but what language is the boot loader and baseband written in? Is it encrypted, or can anyone edit it and flash?

What happens if the boot loader, baseband, kernal, and firmware versions do not match?

I did not know the ROM included the bootloader, and I almost purposely flash the ROM of another device to see what would happen, figuring I could have restored using fastboot. But that probably would have hard-bricked it, right? I thought flashing a ROM was completely safe because it did not touch the boot loader, and could always be undone with fastboot?

How do you developers test out modified bootloaders without making a simple coding mistake and ruining your device?

How can you flash a bootloader using itself (fastboot)?

I saw a post for a different device for changing the boot loader logo. Not the firmware's boot animation. I don't want mine to say "Google" with an unlock icon. Can this be done on the Nexus 7?

I read the partition sizes are determined by the boot loader, and not adjustable. Is this correct? I am running stock 4.4.3 and only have 11MB free on the system partition. How do custom Roms fit within this limit? I am worried this will prevent a custom ROM based in 5.0 Lollipop, and the Nexus 7 2012 will be stuck on Kitkat. Maybe the firmware could be loaded on the data partition with a symbolic link to the system partition?

Thank you
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrizmaticSmoke:
I'm not a developer, but can answer some of your questions (at least as they relate specifically to the Nexus 7).

Custom ROMS typically just include the firmware/kernel (and i believe the radio/baseband if it's for a 3g/mobile device, though these can also be flashed separately, and i could be wrong on this part.) Bootloader is typically untouched, but this might differ on other devices.

As for OTA updates and what all they include, well that depends on the device, manufacturer, carrier, and even the specific OTA. It could potentially include everything (firmware/kernel updates, bootloader, radio/baseband, etc.), but may be any combination of the different components.

Available free space on the system partition doesn't really matter if you're flashing a new ROM, because you'll be wiping the partition as part of the flashing process. ROMs typically don't include GAPPS either (unless it's just a modified version of stock), so will actually take up much less room than the stock ROM on their own. Then you can decide which GAPPS to flash separately, there are various packages available in different sizes; some just include the basic google play services needed to have the play store and related basic functionality, others will mirror the stock pre-installed apps.

If you're using a custom recovery to flash a ROM, they typically contain a script to first verify the device matches, if not, it won't even flash. If you do manage to flash an incompatible ROM (via fastboot maybe, or if it doesn't include a verification script), with a Nexus this typically is not a big deal, you just won't ever actually boot into the ROM, but should still be able to boot into recovery or bootloader and then flash a compatible ROM.

If you flash an incompatible kernel on top of a ROM, you'll likely get a bootloop/softbricked device.

Flashing an incompatible bootloader may brick the device. Any tinkering with the bootloader is always risky.

Hope that helps a little, I'll take another look when I'm not at work ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
1. roms dont include a bootloader.

2. no

3. easily in a custom recovery.

4. i have no idea, and its the most secure part of the device.

5. nothing.

6. roms DO NOT EVER include bootloaders.

7. developers on nexus devices never modify the bootloader. first off, its extremely tedious and difficult. secondly, there is no need, as our bootloaders are unlockable and lockable.

8. it overwrites itself, but you are on your computer using fastboot, phone is just plugged into it.

9. no.

10. each partition has its own size. roms go into a partition that also holds your storage, and is separated from the storage. another reason why you dont have 16gb storage when you buy a 16gb device, because some of it gets allocated to the system.

[General Questions and Answers] Neorpowa:
eh he stated that using his laptop was not an option for the time being ;)

I just assume that you have multiple computers at home that are connected to your network. I've come across some programs that I used to recover our network password when I was younger, all you need is a usb drive and those programs. I believe the site was called nirsoft or something .

!!Those programs may be identified as viruses as!!
[General Questions and Answers] DigMyDroid:
If your router DOES have WPS, then this is a good quick and clean call and should be sure to remember to click "thanks" on Xpid3r's post.

If it DOES NOT have it, then give us a little more info:

1.)

when he changes it, who and what does he update other than his laptop?

- sometimes people are easier to bride, sweet talk, or otherwise crack than devices... Would mom, brother, roommate, friend etc. get the updated password? If not, what other devices get updated? anywhere the password is saved is a potential entry point. For example, if YOU were keeping the password from HIM... Then he could get it from your galaxy s5 NOTE:I can't post a link, because I'm new here. But if you google "recover wifi password from android" there is a walktrough from hubpages that I've used

2.)

Could you borrow a friend's laptop to hack the password?

- If so, there are plenty of tutorials around for that (though admittedly that is not a SHORT learning curve)

3.)

How visible is the router?

I rented a room once and shared Wifi was supposed to be included in the rent. The landlord was a real tool though and, among other issues, he wouldn't tell me the router password so I could do some port-forwarding etc. It got annoying very fast. But he had his router hidden away for aesthetics. So I connected my own router (from my last place) to one of his router's wired ports and then had my own wireless network through the house with its own SSID. I lived there 4 more months and he never noticed it. If your dad's router is tucked away you could probably do the same. Or if you cannot access his laptop BECAUSE he is out of town, then it wouldn't have to be hidden. You could do that type of setup in plain sight temporarily and just take it down before he comes home and get the password from his laptop then. (Tip: if you do this disable DHCP server or YOUR router so they don't fight over who gets to assign IP addresses)

Good luck to you. Let us know how it turns out

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartan117H3:
I was playing around with Wanam Xposed's System Holo Dark Background which caused my device status to show as Custom in both download mode and booting, and have since disabled it which puts it back to official.

My questions are:

1. Will this affect my Knox status?

2. How do I check my Knox status?

3. Will anything in Xposed trip Knox?

I'm just trying to get information on how to not trip knox. As far as I've researched, I can't flash kernels, no custom recovery, no roms (except for in safestrap) downgrade, no bootloader unlocks, and pretty much the only thing I can do is flash a stock OFW via ODIN if I ever wanted to remove root or something. Thanks.

Edit: SuperSU disabling knox means it disables the corporate security stuff linked to emails and whatnot, not the flag/efuse itself, correct?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Threezees:
No, it shouldn't affect your Knox status. You can check Knox using some apps on the Play store... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo is a good, simple one, that also shows the Knox counter. As for anything in Xposed, not sure. I wouldn't think so, but I only use one or two apps for it. Honestly, I don't use it most of the time, as it has caused me more problems than it's worth.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kprice8:
+1 for above reply. Also, a quick search of the forums for the VZW S5, has many repeat similar posts for questions just like this with the same answers.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartan117H3:
Ah, I totally forgot about phone info since it didn't work on my previous phone. Yeah I have a bunch of stuff from Xposed as on my previous phone, I had AOKP and tended to change a bunch of stuff, although I've noticed a lot of things on Xposed has not been made fully compatible with the S5 yet.

I guess my searching skills suck then. When searching for "Verizon S5 Knox checker", Google shows root methods (because they're listed as not tripping knox). When searching in this subforum for "knox check", all I see is one other thread about unlocking the bootloader. "check knox" returns nothing. "Knox status" doesn't bring up anything useful either. Searching for "Xposed Knox" shows some root tutorial thread that tells me that disabling knox doesn't trip the counter which I knew already, and not much about Xposed tripping knox.

Am I using the search wrong or something?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ADB100:
I have both a wired and a wireless LAN setup. My PC that I have ActiveSync installed on is configured to Auto-detect the Proxy settings on the network (there is actually an ISA Server acting as a proxy on port 8080). Whenever the Wizard syncs with the PC it changes the Proxy Settings to my ISA server name and port 80. This obviously doesn't work since the ISA server is only listening for Auto-proxy requests (WPAD) on port 80. Group policy on the network overwrites any manual proxy settings that get configured on the PC so if I change the Wizard manually it gets overwritten by the PC settings when it is sync'd. The result of this is when the Wizard is connected Wirelessly I have to manually change the proxy settings to be able to access the Internet.

Is there any way around this? I have had a look to see if there are any settings in ActiveSync (on the Wizard and the PC) and can't see anything.
