Hi all,

I need to get back to a QWERTY phone, but not sure which one to buy and from where.

The criteria are:

- Android (don't care about the version)

- swappable battery (or eventually user replaceable with a bit of effort like say iphone 4s)

- decent screen size

- 4g support (going to be used in the UK).

In terms of where I can buy it, the options are Hong Kong, India, and of course the UK.

I've read quite a few of the threads, but models either need hardware mods (Photon Q), are USA only (Samsung Stratosphere), or don't support 4G (Galaxy relay). I'm sure someone out there who knows their phones has worked this out, but if not, any pointers/guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Raj

Hi All,

I have recently been getting an error message in Windows Mobile Media Player (Windows Media Player) on my XDA Mini S saying;

"No combination of intermediate filters could be found to make the connection"

And i cant seem to figure out why. I cannot play any videos or sound clips on my mobile, and i cannot find an alternative way to view video or sound files on my XDA.

Is there any chance anyone knows where i can download a new versionof Windows media player for my Windows mobile 5 device? or does anybody have any resolution for this?

Thanks for your time
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zakhir_n:
I do not think there is a newer version to this problem but I was recently having trouble with WMP and I downloaded Pocket Player and have really liked it.

Doesn't seem to have that many bugs, has a today plugin (if wanted), is quite easy to use - maybe give it a try!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] robbiebrown34:
Where did you download Pocket Player from? and was it free etc... because i have searched on www.pocketgear.com and it is $19.99

To be honest, i really wasnt planning on paying for a Media player, however, if i cannot get the media player on my phone fixed, i will have no choice!

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Slave1:
Have you tried cold booting? Or TCPMP?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] zakhir_n:
Yes PocketPlayer does cost you; I understand not wanting to pay for a media player especially since one that is supposed to work comes with the phone - i just couldn't deal with WMP.

Try TCPMC - its free and it may not have all the organizational features of WMP, but does play DivX files

i have same problem with u if u have fix it tell me i search but i'm not find solution
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Hakim Rahman:
you'd better try another media player such as RealOnePlayer (supports video and music) if you are interested you can try this...

[Fire TV General] mejdam:
So i have some family members that wanted an android device where they could easily select netflix, hulu, youtube, twitch etc.... but they didn’t want to create an amazon account and i sure as heck didn’t want to leave my account linked to it. If you deregister your device from your amazon using the web the fire tv will not let you use any application until you create or login to an amazon account.

So what I did was:

1. You need Root

2. Install an alternative launcher

3. Using Titanium backup freeze KFTV Launcher and OOBE

4. Go online to amazon.com and deregister the device from your account

5. No more nagging message telling me to log in using an amazon account.

Hope this helps!!!

Because this will kill your connection to amazon please keep in mind that any amazon app downloaded will stop working.
[Fire TV General] billsam38:
I'm glad someone did this. I always would like to de-register my device from my account, since I have no longer use it. But I didn't try because I'm afraid that will block my root device. By the way, what OOBE stands for?
[Fire TV General] mejdam:
my guess is Out-of-Body-Experience

Wasnt easy trying to figure out which application was causing that login page to appear. took me an hour to figure it out.
[Fire TV General] billsam38:
Just came home and tried it, and it won`t work for me. The login screen will pop up to ask for login to amazon, even I have my own launcher. Weird....
[Fire TV General] dieterl:
Out of box experience - referring to the initial state a device is in when it is taken out of the box. A lot of time the first time you power on a new device it will come up with an initialization wizard that asks to active/register etc, and it only runs once.

I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 NC5 4.4.2 Kitkat on Verizon Wireless, the device is rooted and running a custom kernel with Ktweaker. I attempted to install a new rom (Cyanginemod 10.2 stable) using Safestrap custom recovery. The phone didn't take the rom so no biggy however the backup wouldn't restore. Now the device won't even enter any form of recovery or download mode only display the Samsung logo. I have already tried flashing the stock firmware and pit md5 file on the device using the latest version of Odin. No success only corrupted data and a lost system backup.

So I rooted my stock MB860 Motorola Atrix with CM10 but it gives me "No External Memory" when I try to open anything related to sd card storage - can't take photos, can't download apps absolutely nothing. I have access to the SD Card it is located in the folder sdcard1 in the file manager. Also my internal storage is not working properly - It used to be 16GB, after CM it is 2 GB... Tried everything - currently I am using MIUI V5 for mb860, but it even won't allow me to download google play because i don't have external storage available, though in storage it says i have an sd card mounted.

Hello,

I've found a simple method to gain access into WPSystem Folder, Browse Isolated Storage directly.

We can now browse WPSystem Folder from any favorite File manager also we can access folder during the attachment or uploading processes.

Open Pocket File Manager 4.3.6.0.

Touch and hold on WPSystem Folder pop up menu will opened, select Info.

3. Unchecked both check marks.

A. Hidden File.

B. System File.

And save the changes.

Done.

Now browse WPSystem Folder from any favorite File Manager.

We all know that when we does a same procedure on other version of P.F.M. it crashes every time. We was not able to make changes on WPSystem Directory.

Luckily this version able to change the WPSystem Folder permissions

Works for me - WPSystem folder becomes visible in Microsoft's Files app BUT I can`t browse any app content, just can see GUIDs. Aerize Explorer does not even show WPSystem folder and asks me to make in-app purchase when I`m trying to find it using built-in search.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] djamol:
Duhhhh...

This folder is visible for every file manger.

Try different file manager's.

There is no need to buy any application & Aerize Explorer gives access to this folder, just add shortcut on your Main Page, or directly browse folder and pin it.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] winphoneuser:
Rechecked WPSystem folder properties - my fault. It was just hidden & system again (probably due to reboot I made during failed experiment with "How to manually install application/game's on Windows Phone 8.1" - no such folders and no effect when I created them by myself). Now it`s browsable with Aerize too (and it can open Apps folders but can not copy smth into it).

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] azithro:
Windows Phone 8 uses sandboxing mechanism where all apps seems to be running but at Kernel Level there is still some scope.

Heathcliff74 started by targeting the emulator instead of putting lot of efforts directly on the device. After a lot of effort made, he has ROOT Access to the Emulator. This is a big news because he was able to bypass the Windows Phone 8 security feature by a large margin. However taking this to the devices is completely different story.

Even though GoodDayToDie was able to inerop-unlock Samsung ATIV-S, Heathcliff74 says that Interop-Unlocked still needs some empowerment to work with Root Access. Looks like Microsoft did lock down things here as this was an easy hack on Windows Phone 7.

Root access for the Windows Phone 8 emulator is an approach from the kernel-side and Interop-Unlock is an approach from the application-side, but they still need to meet in the middle. So far, that hasn’t happened for Windows Phone 8 yet and this will need a lot more research.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] ngame:
Yup I know .

If you can remember I was looking for Interop Unlocking Lumia Phones from a long time ago.

In these days I found many things but they didn't work for non-sd supported devices .

we also have a very very long way to go .

Interop Unlock is not very important without other unlocks .

I were with Windows devices on phones from 2009 and surely know these things . but thanks , maybe many people don't know ...

WPSystem Folder Unlocker

Hi there,

attached is a small tool that I have created to unlock the WPSystem folder on your sd card by one simple click. No need to deploy the old Pocket File Manager xap. The app runs on all developer unlocked devices. Just click the button....

Edit:

After unlocking the folder use AERIZE EXPLORER for browsing.

private void unlock_click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
var directory = new DirectoryInfo("D:\\WPSystem\\") { Attributes = System.IO.FileAttributes.Normal };
foreach (var info in directory.GetFileSystemInfos("*"))
{
info.Attributes = System.IO.FileAttributes.Normal;
}
MessageBox.Show("Success !");
Application.Current.Terminate();
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("Error");
}

Do you mean a Turkish language ROM? Apologies if I'm asking the wrong question or not answering this properly. I've never heard of this and cannot find anything on it and was wondering if language is what you meant by it.

If you did mean the language you can access it in < Settings < Language & Keyboard < Language then just find your language and select it then you should be done. If you didn't mean that and you meant an actual ROM like that then my apologies for wasting your time, just trying to help.

If I'm getting it right you want to convert your M8 into a HTC WWE version to get updates as soon as they released!?

If so you would have to follow one of the various guides in this forum, going through the procedures of unlocking, s-off, root first. In a second step change the CID/MID to the WWE standard (that would be HTC__001/0P6B10000) and last but not least flash a stock WWE ROM and stock WWE firmware with stock WWE recovery.

This is only explained very roughly what to do. For detailed HowTo's you can search this forum and will surely find what you are looking for.

If I have understood you wrong, please let me know.

My Brother has the Verizon S4 SCH-i545 with the latest OTA NC5. I have the TMO version and have been rooted since april 2013 :D and have flashed multiple ROMS and recoveries and blah blah

I was reading over the forum "4.x-to-4.4.2-SAFEUP-or-DOWNgrade w Root&SafeStrap featuring1FileFlash&DoneNC2/NC5-EZ"

What i am confused about is if i should get root access using towelroot and then some how make a nandroid backup and then follow the steps in the forum? or is there is a way to make a nandroid backup without root? that way i have peace of mind while following the steps?

I have been reading off and on for about 3 1/2 hours.

Please Advise
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
Getting root with towelroot.com, downloading and installing and activating busybox from the play store and the downloading the Safestrap version 3.72 APK that is specific to your device is the easiest way to go. You do not need to downgrade and ODIN flash as per the thread you mentioned anymore. You will be able to make a backup via Safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] htckenney:
Is there a forum that is updated stating that?

Because i swear i read the forum for SS 3.72 Stating that it is for other bootloaders that are not NC5

Thank you by the way for responding quickly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] liljoe727:
I was on NC5 and rooted via the downgarde/ODIN flash method. When towelroot came out I wiped and restored to 100 percent factory and tested the method I mentioned and it worked with no issue at all. As far as a thread, I am not sure, I did this only to see for myself if it worked as it is a much easier method than downgrade/ODIN flash and I had zero issues.

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

The same method works on the S5 from Verizon also. Just know that with Safestrap 3.72 on the S4, you can only flash new ROM's in the "STOCK" slot as using a different partition WILL soft brick your device.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] ManWithHugePhone:
I guess. The TT5 CD's I had crashed instantly on Windows when I tried to install them. On the TT pages there is a workaround to get the map to a Win folder and then copy them over. Also the downloaded update installs nicely.

I'm kind of annoyed at TT, since I have the European maps and figured I'd only need an update for my region. Well the maps from TT5 mobile aren't compatible with TT6 so I'd lose all the European maps. And I think the complete update now gives you a 1GB map with all of Europe - I'd much rather just install the countries I need.
