hey VJ, sorry to bother but do you know what jumper/cable/connector/switch to jump/disconnect/tape inside the Universal to keep it from switching?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] odyseus:
I'm sure I saw someone mention that the screen rotation is done by a magnet and switch? It's possible that maybe a small magnet fell out during disassembly? But I have looked throught the Universal repair manual and I can't find any reference to such a magnet??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
I'd be nice to know exactly where it is so one would be able to take it out, if it were easy. I don't know if I wanna disasemble mine yet... :)

EDIT found it!! :D If you use a very, very light metal chain, as I did, with a keyring @ end, you can hover it around the Universal and see the tension of the chain when it's near the magnet. the keyring sticks too!

it's on the lid, behind the video-call video camera. I'm going to check the lid part of the manual.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] odyseus:
Well taking the screen section apart is easy! You don't have to disassemble the whole unit. Looks like my magnet fell out then! Trouble is I want to sell mine so I'll just have to declare the auto screen rotate doesn't work (I've made sure that there is the rotate screen icon on the task bar though!!)

Cheers

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
it works!! I tested it with the very small and highly magnetic point in the bezel of my tablet PC (to hold the pen) and it did change orientation.

thing is that it seems to be stuck beside the sound-holes (when the unit is closed).

I wonder how could I disassemble the lid only? are none of those screws @ the bottom connected to the back part of the lid? if so, that would be awesome!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bonisalive:
Hi, on the xda's ftp, you'll find the maintenance manual for Universal...may help you to disassemble yours
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
thanx for the link! :)

however, it seems rather risky to try to pry the bezel open while still on the unit. Anyways I'm doing it right know. I'll get back to you.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
I did pry it out and took the magnet off... painless(*) procedure and flea-sized magnet! :) don't loose!

I took a couple of pictures detailing the magnet position and the lid disassembled while still on the unit.

if you want to do this procedure do not loose the tiny screws and...

(*) be careful with the outer speaker (the one that lets you hear a call while the screen is facing the keyboard when closed), it isn't hard wired, it's just two small and fine contacts that might get distorted when putting the lid cover back... I had to take mine out again to correct this problem.

also, be careful with the screw driver and digitizer, as you'll be working in very akward positions to avoid disassembling the whole unit, and take off the battery of course.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] odyseus:
Thanks for the photos - looks like my magnet feel out so I bought some 1/8 inch square magnets from ebay. It took a couple to find the sweet spot where the screen rotated but at least it works fibe now!

Cheers

Ody
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Yubastard:
no problem. I'm also going to put the magnet back, now the unit doesn't now when it's closed, and therefore the outer speaker does not work. the screen also does not turn off when closed, only when the system timer tells it too... oh well.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] r3bel:
you can turn the screen off by pressing the power button briefly.

no ext speaker though! maybe there's a way in software to disable just the rotation; i think the guys trying to get linux comfortable on the universal have some experience with it, maybe they can help.
[Java for Android App Development] xirokx:
hi there,

I am developing an android app and need to educate myself on how android apps are hosted.

So I read this site:

http://developer.android.com/distribute/googleplay/start.html[^]

and this site:

http://developer.android.com/distribute/tools/launch-checklist.html[^]

but my question is:

does my finished android app need to be uploaded and hosted on a server?

so when I finish developing it and am ready to deploy to google play store, do I upload my entire app on "my rented server" and then within google play store point to it?

for those of you that have uploaded apps to google play store I would really appreciate some help

another question: the android app I am developing when it opens retrieves a list of names from a database, I currently use XAMPP in which I have created a MYSQL database with a table that contains the names. When I am in my house, I can retrieve the list of names no problem using wifi or just 3g on my phone. However if I am outside and my XAMPP is turned on and then I try and open my app the listview of names is not populated.

Why is that? I am thinking its because my app is not hosted on a server itself, just the database with the names that are used in the listview grid is...
[Java for Android App Development] Jonny:
To put an app on the play store you need to upgrade your Google account to a developer account. This costs £20 if I remember correctly and allows you access to the developers console where you upload the finished app in apk format and fill out the description fields etc.
[Java for Android App Development] xirokx:
thanks for your reply....

sure I had read what you mentioned on googles developer site.

what you are speaking about is uploading my app to google play store.

do you have any idea about these 2 questions I raise:
[Java for Android App Development] Jonny:
For the first question

I'm assuming that when you say server, you mean your own server? If so then no, you can use the Google developer console to upload your app, which uploads the app to Google's servers and therefore can be viewed through the play store (if you choose to put the app in a "published" mode).

Second question:

Again, no. The only way to get apps to show up on the Play store is by getting a developer account and using the Google Play Developer Console to publish your app.

Third question:

The database needs to be running on a live site for you to retrieve it from anywhere.
[Java for Android App Development] xirokx:
thank you so much for your help, i really appreciate it....

can you help clarify a little further please?

currently I use Eclipse to develop in, XAMPP to host my database and a fileserver that hosts my files.

So when I debug, is the process like this:

myPhone(includes apk file) --> XAMPP(stores names and URL) --> FileServer (Retrieves URL to display in my app)

so does the process when I upload my app to Googles Server look like this:

MyPhone ---> Google Server( to retrieve apk) --> FileServer (to retrieve URL to display in app)

have I understood correctly?

if the above process that includes google server is correct, is there a way I can upload my app to google server without releasing on play store for debugging purposes.

Currently I use XAMPP to host my database on my PC, does this mean I would need to upload XAMPP on google server so that it can retrieve the names and URL I have stored in the phpMyAdmin SQL database?

If the answer to the above is yes, does this mean I need to upload XAMPP to Google Server so it can connect to my FileServer?

So I take it using XAMPP means the database is not running on a "live site" ??

How can I host my database live? currently I start XAMPP then use:

localhost/phpmyadmin to log into my SQL database....

Do you mean I need to upload that SQL database to lets say my FileServer so it is live and therefore takes XAMPP out of the process and means I can access my APP (in debug mode) from anywhere?

So sorry I am confused about how google server, XAMPP and my SQL database work...

Thanks for your patience, please continue to help me...

Thank you so much

Depends on what you plan to build

If it can work offline then you generally do not need to rent a server.

If you intent to make MMO online game, chat site, dating site, your own social networking site.. then you will need to rent a server.

Whether or not need a server for the above purposes. Your app is generally hosted on a Google Play server, and be visible to people with play-store apps (technically visible as your app is hard to search for at the beginning, this is another story)

If your app is more than 50mb.. Then you will need your own server. To host the package, containing any data in excess of 50mb. Google will host the first 50mb for you. Your users will have to go start your app to get the rest from your server.

You might want to have your own server for own custom licensing validation and IAP purchasing checks, only if you don't think the google's solution is sufficient.

You can also host on Amazon.
[Java for Android App Development] xirokx:
Thanks for your reply

I was hoping for more specific answers in relation to my specific questions...
[Java for Android App Development] hotspot_volcano:
Well your later questions are more specifically hosting questions less about android related issues

Advice to you is to turn of wifi on your phone, when your are inside and see if you can access your XAMP server.

Can you ping your server IP address (not the local IP 192.168.0.X, assuming its your home server.

Does your ISP allow you to use your home Internet to host a server accessible on the internet? (as above)

Hi,

I'm a big fan of cyanogenmod as I have it on my tablets. I currently have a SG3 but it's not rooted/running cyanogenmod because in reading the how-to guide I'm too much of a novice to do it, plus I only have mac's.

So I'm curious if someone can suggest a phone similar to form and function of the Galaxy S3 that I can use on verizon's 4G network, that is easier/safer to put cyanogenmod on it.

Thanks!

Dear xda-members,

[MENTION=1662773]mods[/MENTION]: kill me if this thread is against the guidelines, but I don't wanted to spam existing threads as my request is kinda specific, and probably interesting for other Krauts in the forum.

So basically what I'm asking for is if anybody knows some good car mounts that are available in Germany.

You lucky ones in the US've got really great availability of basically everything you could ever wish for your phone, but here in GHermany it's hard to find some good stuff.

So does anyone know (and probably own) a car mount that I can get in Germany?

Greets!

Some reason the upgrade button is greyed out

Hi again,

I installed the upgrade assistant in installer mode but for some reason it is not picking up the new NE9 update on my computer. See attached print screen. Very strange.. It sees the update on my phone to download though.:cyclops: Do you know why this is and how I can get it to see the update on the upgrade assistant as you mentioned?

Kind Regards
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks3rv3rg:
Can you explain why you want the update so bad? You do realize that rooting and accepting official otas is completely contradictory, correct? OTAs are generally what fix things like what towelroot exploits. If you accept official OTA, you will likely lose root.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickd1976:
But can't I just re root after the ota? I guess the reason I want the Ota because I heard of camera enhancements and stability fixes
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks3rv3rg:
No. OTA have patches for known security flaws as well. The flaw that towelroot relies on is closed after the new OTA. Meaning, no more root.

edit: in this case I believe folks have figured out a work around for keeping root with the update. In general though, if you value root and what it provides you do not accept official releases.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kprice8:
[MENTION=4618190]ks3rv3rg[/MENTION] I believe the links mentioned above provide a workaround for the Root to be kept after updating.

As for the problem nick, I can't help you there. I haven't personally take it as I see taking OTA's is silly with a rooted phone you can modify to be much more. Perhaps someone else who has done it will chime in...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickd1976:

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickd1976:
