[General Questions and Answers] Binske:
Hey guys/gals,

I'm relatively new to advanced cell phone workarounds/programming/software-know-how, but Im not one of those punks who knows NOTHING about technology and phones. Ill cut right to the chase, and the answer so far has been not gonna happen, but is there any way to get a Lenovo S8 to work on AT&T's 3g network? It has a 900/1800/1900 GSM band and the weird china-only 1890/2010 W-CDMA radio in it, but I've been under the impression that AT&T runs 3g on the 1900 band. Is there any way to tweak a setting or do anything to get it to work? (That question was asked knowing the answer is 99.9% absolutely not, so please dont blow up at me, just asking again for good measure.) Or alternatively, I have a Samsung Focus and a Nokia Lumia 900 that work perfectly fine at my disposal, is there any way for me to make a franken Lenovo and take the radio out of the Samsung or Nokia and put it in the S8 to make it a usable phone in the United States? I bought the phone as a gift for my girlfriend, she HAD to have a gold phone and the iPhone 5s was outta my price range full retail, plus the S8 is as gold as it gets. She loved it until she realized it was on EDGE speeds at maximum, basically rendering the phone un-usable, so she switched back to her busted up silver iPhone 5. Right now I have a $200 paperweight, and 2 phones with radios in them that I know work on AT&T's network. I dont mind if the Lenovo ends up bricked, its a waste of money anyway if I cant get it to work. Give me any ideas you have everyone, thanks so much!!!

-Daniel

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skidawgz:
I never allowed the first big update (im on 4.3), assuming Verizon would slow my phone down. So, what steps and which ROM do you suggest? I am really just looking to tether(wired and wireless) and want the phone to stay smooth. I don't want to lose any S-Pen or Samsung functions but do not care for Touchwiz.

Thanks for advice!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
S-pen is a touchwiz implementation so for the most part you are stuck there. Go through the stock based ROMs, find something debloated, back up, try it, then maybe look for some AOSP type themes and apps for your phone. You will have to do some of the leg work and research as there is no easy path for you to get what you are asking.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skidawgz:
Should I accept the OTA update first or does it not matter? I'm not sure what NC2 vs NC4 is.

[PAC Q&A] _dave:
I am relating this to the HD+ (ovation) builds. I read in the ROM FAQ section the following:

Q. Do I need to do a full wipe before installing this ROM?

A. Unless coming from a previous version of PACman it is highly recommended to do a full wipe before installing. This includes coming from ParanoidAndroid ROMs.

Since I do a weekly upgrade, I am not able to just "update". I have to do a factory reset every time for installation fails and suggest I do a reset. I have no problem doing it that way, just got to re-install everything.

For my installation I am using EMC CWM-based recover v6.0.4.6. Is this the reason I cannot just do a "upgrade" or is there a correct way?

Thanks ahead for any suggestion.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Grofit:
Hello there,

I recently bought a cheap SPV M2000 from a friend when he upgraded his phone, im on vodaphone (UK) and i used to have an XDA II which i unlocked using the unlock software from here. However on this phone when i put my sim in, it had no service, which i thought was fine... I then went to change the options to see if it was already unlocked and it kept saying "The phone is unavailable, please try again in 15 seconds" or something along those lines.

I then thought maybe i need to unlock it, so i downloaded the software and tried to unlock it and got the following error message:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MillerTime33:
Hey everyone,

My apologies if this has been covered I did several searches and didn't find anything.

Short story: I dropped my phone in the toilet.....walked into the bathroom and fumbled it. Pulled it out pretty quickly it had a soft and hard case on it that helped prevent some water form getting in. Now everything works except the power button. It ran out of battery before I could get home to charge it yesterday. Now with a broke power button I don't know how to turn it on.

- Dropped it in the water 2 days ago

-USB debug was not enabled

-I can get it into download mode (not sure if this is relevant)

Thank you for taking the time to read, if you could use anymore info let me know.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flipz77:
Have you tried the usual rice procedure? Leaving it in a bowl of dry rice for approx. a day. If you haven't, I'd wait for more insight by experienced gurus as I'm not totally sure, but I think there is some way to turn the device on from download mode, which you said you can access. ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
Well, at least there wasn't anything else in the toilet...

You could try disassembling the phone. You'll need a T5 TORX driver, a very small Phillips driver, and something thin and plastic to pull the case halves apart like a guitar pick or plastic knife. Go to ifixit.com and look up the tear-down guide.

It could be that the contacts for the power button board were corroded. Head to Radio Shack or whatever the equivalent is that you have wherever you are and pick up some Progold and Deoxit. Deoxit removes corrosion, Progold improves conductivity. If that doesn't work, you could try buying a new power button board off eBay; they're pretty cheap.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MillerTime33:
Ok thank you guys for the replies. It seems like I will have to give your suggestion a try I already have the tools so it shouldn't be a big deal. Just to confirm there is no way to start it without the power button? Like I said I can get it into download mode by holding down the volume rocker when inserting a usb. Thanks again its much appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
In the state your phone is in, I don't think so.

There are ways to turn the Nexus 4 on by means other than the power button. For example, there are apps that utilize the proximity sensor to unlock your phone by waving your hand in front of it. If you're rooted with the bootloader unlocked you can flash a custom kernel that enables various ways of waking the screen and sleeping it via touch (these aren't 100% though). If you're rooted, you can use Xposed modules to remap your buttons, and you could use the volume rocker instead of the power button.

But all those require your phone to at least be ON first, so they're not an option for you until you can actually get your power button working.

There is one possibility that didn't occur to me last night. A co-worker of mine is in practically the same situation as you (substitute your toilet for a mop bucket) with his Nexus 4. He uses the proximity sensor hand waving thing to wake/sleep his phone since his power button doesn't work. When Towelroot came out, I rooted it for him and installed a root rebooter so he can reboot if he needs to. But he's also able jam a thin knife through the case where the button is and short the contacts and turn it on/off that way.

So what you could try when you disassemble the phone is to try shorting the contacts with a piece of wire or paper clip. Take off the back cover, remove the plastic piece that covers the logic board (but don't remove/disconnect anything else. The phone should still operate (or would if your button wasn't damaged). If you're able to turn on your phone in this manner, then try cleaning the contacts and/or replacing the board as I mentioned earlier.

Good luck.

Try Wugs Toolkit, It works even on power off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MillerTime33:
I've opened it up but I'm having trouble determining the where the contacts are I need to short and haven't found a diagram online. Could you direct me to where they are located on the board? I attached a picture of the board.

Thanks

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Planterz:
I circled the contact points. I believe these points, when shorted, should complete the circuit and make the device think the power button is being pressed. Actually, it's not a short, you're just completing a circuit, but I can't think of the proper term for what it's doing.

EDIT: I tried it on mine, and completing a circuit between those 2 contacts definitely works to activate the power button. If it doesn't work on yours, then either the contacts are too corroded or you need a new power button board.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defaulted:
And if they are too corroded, you can use some rubbing alcohol to remove it!

[Asus Transformer TF701] SonjaMichelle:
I'm trying to learn a bit about android and ROMs and programming in general. I have limited experience but not a whole lot. I have my environment set up, CM11 source downloaded and my tf701t tree downloaded.

When I go to run 'brunch tf701t' I get a couple of minutes into the build and I run into the following error:

I'm using the Sun Java JDK jdk1.7.0_67. I fixed an earlier issue where I it was referencing the OpenJDK and killing the build almost right away. It COULD still be the JDK, there are so many damn versions out there.

I'm at a stopping point, not sure where to go on from here. Any help and suggestions are appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF701] SonjaMichelle:
OK, I solved that error by uninstalling all JDKs, rebooting then installing Sun JDK 6.

Now it's on to the next problem.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
Yes I was going to say I always drop to version 6 rather than 7 first if I get any java errors.

What is your next issue?
[Asus Transformer TF701] SonjaMichelle:
My next issue was missing proprietary files, specifically the icera ones. I'm also missing keystore.tegra.so.

I'm building on a VMWare 10 Ubuntu 14 virtual machine with 4GB alloted of ram and 75GB of cache on an aging HP QuadCore. Not even an i series, so it is slow going.
[Asus Transformer TF701] SonjaMichelle:
I got past those errors by locating them and putting them in their proper locations.

The build process took about 8 hours. Zero hour arrived, I backed up my CROMBi-kk installation, loaded up my home cooked cm11 ROM, crossed my fingers and pressed the power button.

Success! Yay me! :laugh:

Everything booted up, wifi located and connected, signed into Google, CyangenMod and proceeded to restore my account.

It was pretty neat to see my name in the about section. :silly:

What I gained from this.

I need a new PC or at least I need to beef this one up a bit.. I bought the old girl in 2009.

I don't really like Ubuntu as a development environment. I don't like Unity, never have. I did install gnome-fallback, but I had issues with the minimal desktop, the dreadful screen blanking that I could just not turn off no matter how many settings and CLI tricks I used. I think I'm going to try Linux Mint next. IMHO it has lower overhead than Ubuntu and should, at least as a VM, give me some better performance.

My problem solving skills have not completely left me in my older years. ;) I left IT some 15+ years to pursue a career in EMS and Firefighting, so my skills have been mostly backseat and hobby like. Being retired I've got the time to putz around and see what I can do. I was glued to Google remembering and dusting off my shell and CLI basics.

Now it is on to learning how to customize and tweak the ROM. :cool:

The only way I have found to by pass the activation screen is to select language then activate wen operator comes on hit couple keys on dial pad then menu add to contacts then it will ask if u have new or existing acc hit either 1 then it will let u conect to wifi once conected go bac to dial screen hit s voice ( looks like microphone) but u hav to b connected to Internet tell it to open settings in settings go to home screen mode pick 1 and then your no longer stuck at activation lock until u factory reset agin .....

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] silverstar1323:
Do you have any ideas on how to get the drop-down menu to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sokoloft:
When my I535PP was working, I remember using this bypass. If you install apps that give Notifications and leave the phone on for a half a month or so strait and the bar should pop up. But if you hit the home button, or go to restart the phone your notification bar will go away, and send you back to the activation wizzard. I guess it's just the way it works. Use a home button alternative app. I mapped the hold down to settings and the tap to recently used apps, kinda like a task manager. Worked great until my wifi decided to stop working :(

Good luck, hope this helped!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] silverstar1323:
Thank you! Your info is much appreciated! :cyclops:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sokoloft:
No problem, and just so you know this is the specific app I was using:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.home.button.bottom&hl=en

Enjoy! :)

PS: The app will also open while you're in the activation wizzard. Just let it sit there for a little bit when you first boot it up. If you have it set to open up settings you can hold it down and get into the settings without having to do the whole going to contacts and speech thing. Essentially skipping those steps. (Your phone might have to be rooted though)

Inateck, a German company specializing in providing accessories to mobile devices and tablets has been making the quite the news regarding their quality products.

Today, I will talk about their amazing product, the Inateck Bluetooth Speakers BP-1001.

Official Website Product Link : http://www.inateck.com/inateck-bp1001b-portable-bluetooth-speaker-black/

The first word which comes out when you see the package and the device, is, Quality.

I had never expected that any Bluetooth speaker would fill every corner of my place with music, which BP-1001 does so easily.

The BP-1001 Box comes with good packing for the speakers, an instruction manual, USB Cable and AUX Cable.

The device sets up so seamlessly with any Android/Apple products we tested it on, that its simply wonderful for the connection part. Some Bluetooth speakers miss out on the connection marks and lose points there, but this one sure does the job!

A welcome ‘ting’ comes from the speaker as I connect to it reliably.

The speaker looks great with no frills branding and very sleek matt looking sides and front. The bottom has rubber circles which is a nice touch for keeping the speaker sturdy on the surface. The top surface is glossy which may attract fingerprint smudges.

On the surface of the speakers we have,

1 USB Charging port

1 AUX Cable jack and a

Nice volume tuner and Play/Pause button combined in one slot. The small hole besides the USB port is the LED indicator which bleeds blue whenever it is paired to a mobile/tablet.

As I have said, the first thing which comes to mind is the Quality of the speakers. The boombox starts playing songs with very good bass and literally no distortion, which is quite impressive considering it just sits in the palm of my hand!

The connection part is one more thing why BP-1001 scores 10/10. It has no issues in streaming music even if its far away in the other room.

Inateck also provides us with 3.5 mm cables which is very helpful if your device is not Bluetooth-compatible. The Speaker literally transformers into a normal speaker while doing its job.

One more amazing thing is the inclusion of microphone. This is another nice touch which enables the user to talk directly into the speaker whenever a call is received on the device. In our tests, we perceived an overall good quality in the talks which I had through the speakers. Voice did not crack or fluctuate while streaming.

All in all, Inateck wows us with another solid no-nonsense product which does the job which it was made to do with zero complaints and issues. Inateck hits the nail in pushing a rock-solid Bluetooth Speaker concentrating on what it does best, Quality with an awesome price tag.

There are 3 apk's in this zip, copy Secphone.apk and SecContacts_OSup.apk

into /system/priv-app.

Be sure to make a backup or rename those two files in /system/priv-app first.

The 3rd APK is the SecMMS.apk which you can use if you want black messaging.

Be sure to make a nandroid backup before doing anything.

After your done don't forget to fix permissions of the new apk's.

Good luck!

If I restore my phone from Sprite back up files after upgrading ROM, will the new updated ROM be retained or the old one will be used?

Cheers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MrMiguel:
The updated ROM will be retained. But you must use device upgrade mode, you cant just restore after the ROM upgrade. See the Sprite FAQ for details
