If you need anymore proof it's a scam it has URL stuff to rewrite the article as you can see here on my attempt at a funny test.

http://www.lollipop-rom.org/mp3-/this-site-is-a-scam-dont-use-this-guide-to-update-6124.html

Also since yesterday when I sent a message inquiring about things the person quietly changed the screenshots and stuff from a black to white background based on my inquiry to fool people even more.

Just found out the comments are in an iframe from a totally different site as well as other things by looking at the site code.

Here is the WHOIS details of the site with contact details of the owner if anyone is wondering.

Going a google I found other sites linked to the email related to android etc and a forex scam thing.

Also a registered street address in indonesia connected to the accounts.

I have compiled some info and submitted it to google the best I can as there's no official way to submit this stuff.

So for now this thread can die until Huawei announces a proper lollipop version.

what does this updatedo?

What does this update do? Does it affect my root? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AFwarbird:
It is notifying me too. Since I have twrp and root on stock jelly bean, how can I update if helpful, or turn off update notification?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jtmalt:
Started getting the notification yesterday, but I'm also on stock Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and TWRP. I was able to stop the notifications by freezing "AT&T Sofware Update" with Titanium Backup, but I'd also like to know if there's anything here worth the trouble of trying to get it installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 24fan4life:
I just had a chat session with a Samsung official, and she said it's news to them. I told her that I am on I727UCMC1, and she said that my device is up to date. The small update AT&T is pushing must be something to do with AT&T.

Unless it updates my camera features, I'm not even bothering with it, and will keep AT&T Update frozen.

I'm pretty sure I'd have to backup everything, revert to stock UCMC1, cross my fingers and toes that it still doesn't brick my phone, and hope it still can be rooted the way I did before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] joeybob1:
It sure would be nice if there was some sort of explanation as to what is being updated. I have looked all over and not found anything anywhere else that mentions this update to I727UCNJ1. I got the number from this an at&t website I would post the link but can't. It is only 12mb so probably not worth a bunch of trouble but I wish I knew what it is trying to update. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] remremrem:
Paranoid?

Me too. Mine is original stock, but I upgraded the Android OS last year to 4.1.2 via Samsung Kies. However, mine is unlocked, and I can't help but be suspicious that AT&T is "updating" to do something that is to their benefit and not ours (i.e. relocking the phone?, spyware, etc.?), so it would be nice to have some details of what/why this unexpected update, before blindly agreeing to it. So, if anyone know what this update is all about, please share with us. Thanks very much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
My money's on an update that locks the phone down. What else would AT&T possibly do with a three-year-old platform that isn't making them any new money at this point?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 24fan4life:
I chatted with an AT&T representative yesterday, and all I could get out of her was that the update had to do with new features to the O/S. That's all the information that she could find, and couldn't tell me any specifics about what features were being updated.

I am about to go to an S5 or S5 Active soon, and I might just revert to stock to check it out.

It's pretty fishy though that neither Samsung, or AT&T has, or wants to divulge in any, information on exactly what it's going to do.

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

As far as it locking your device back down, I have yet to flash, or install anything that has re-locked my phone. I guess it's possible. The only thing I'm worried about is losing root, and not being able to get it back with the last way that's available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jtmalt:
I see it's now listed on the AT&T eSupport website No details, just "Android OS Enhancements".

I don't have enough posts on this forum to be permitted to publish a link, but you can find it by Googling "AT&T Update to Skyrocket", and the eSupport link should be near the top of the results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jshamlet:
AT&T is taking the same tack as Verizon, and locking everything down. Even the mid to low end phones. So, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a way to lock older phones.

On the other hand, it really may be final bug fixes - a sort of final service pack. I wish I trusted them to give it a try.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 24fan4life:
I reverted back to stock I727UCMC1 using Odin v1.85, updated OTA to I727UCNJ1, flashed TWRP custom recovery, got root back, but I am not sure if I am still unlocked or not. I tried *#7465625# on the dialer, but the code does nothing.

Anyone know of another code to check the unlock status?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] remremrem:
Thanks very much for your feedback. I've always just put a SIM card from another carrier into my phone. Even if it is not an active SIM, your phone should still tell you whether or not it is locked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
unless u restored a previous efs partition that was locked to a carrier then u will remain unlocked, afaik no one lost their unlocked sim by restoring or flashing any firmwares, to read more about the sim lock or to unlock the sim read this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2638037

as for firmwares locking down the phone its referring to the way root is acheived not to the sim carrier lock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
i hope you are joking, because if not then then you're insane. no offense intended. :cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jshamlet:
Not so insane, I'm afraid. AT&T has started a war on unlocked bootloaders lately. The CEO has officially come out as saying they don't want unlocked devices on their network, and have followed up by sending out OTA updates that lock down devices. Several devices started out unlocked, like the S2, and became locked by OTA updates. The S3, Note 2, etc.

IOW, I wouldn't put it past them, especially if Samsung wasn't aware of the update. On the flip side, the S2 is no longer even for sale, and I have to wonder how many are left in active service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] remremrem:
Clarification?

Thanks, that was very helpful! Seriously though, as a senior member of this forum, perhaps you might have some

constructive

comments on this subject? After all, we're sitting here with phones (the I-727 SII Skyrocket is an oldie, but goodie!) that are trying to push an unanticipated OTA update on us, in a very suspicious manner. We hope it's just a bug fix, but don't trust the carrier (AT&T) to be doing this, unless they have some ulterior motive. The benefit of your substantial experience would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer us.

Regards,

Ron M.

Thank you for your insight, it was TRULY helpful! As a relative newbie, I just want to clarify our terms. When you use the term "unlocked", I deduce you are referring to a phone that has been rooted and is running a different platform - is that correct? In my case, I am NOT rooted and simply running the original crappy stock platform, but my phone is "unlocked" in the traditional sense, in that I can use it with different sims from different carriers throughout the world, rather than being "locked" to AT&T. So, for those of us who are not as technically advanced, could you please clarify? For me, if this OTA update doesn't prevent me from continuing to use other sims from other carriers, then I don't know what the downside would be, unless they're just adding more spyware and bloatware to their already intrusive system? I look forward to your comments.

Regards,

Ron M.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
I thought T.J. Bender was talking about simlock since he didn't mention the bootloader. :silly:

At&t sure isn't making life easy for you.. I'd still be proudly rocking a skyrocket too if I didn't lose it :angel:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 24fan4life:
I only messed with my Skyrocket for an hour or so after accepting the OTA update, before starting up my new S 5 Active.

The only thing that I really noticed, was they took the AT&T phone setup app off of it, since it is no longer in use by AT&T. There may have been more that I didn't notice, but only running it a couple hours, I couldn't tell. I even checked the camera thinking they might have finally snuck some new features into it, but no dice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
How does suggesting that AT&T would lock a bootloader make me insane?

Title explains it,

Xperia T (LT30P) Rooted

Any way to make the Dock Bar or Dock Background Transparent?where my icons and app drawer are located. :confused:

Thanks XDA.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Decompile the launcher (Home.apk) with Apktool, and edit and replace the "home_stage_bg.png" file located in "drawable-xhdpi" (or "drawable-xxhdpi", I don't know if the T has a different resolution) and make it transparent.

Then again, if you're just replacing PNG files, you don't necessarily have to decompile, but it's funner ;). Use 7zip to replace the file. Then you can push the "Home.apk" file back to the /system partition where you got it from.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papi5120:
It should work but it depends on whether the particular video lists it as an option
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rman18:
I only see 1080P as the highest option. I read somewhere that YouTube removed anything higher then 1080p from the app
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobprobert:
Well that's my question. Does the YouTube player have the 1440p option? On my note 4 the highest option available is 1080p but there is a hack where changing the build prop to 5.0 allows the 1440p option. I would prefer not to do this though as it's being reported it breaks s-note

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bohemus:
I can also confirm. Received my N6 today and the youtube app does not have any options for anything above 1080p even if the video is 1440p or higher. All you need is the updated apk from this post. It works in 1440p perfectly. http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2mxo74/youtube_5185_has_2k/

[Web App Development] Falen:
Hi all,

I recently finished learning how to create an APK using PhoneGap with code written using HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript.

Now, I would like to create a simple database app but I am not sure how to proceed. From what I learned about PhoneGap, everything can only be written in HTML5, CSS and Javascript coding. How do I get information from a database(flat-file or MySQL), display the data and edit it similar to how one would do using Ajax(I currently don't know how to code in ajax)? Is this possible with PhoneGap? How? Do I need a framework like JQuery Mobile to do this?

There would only be one page/view:

- displaying what is in the table

- and editing/adding new data to the table

Thank you.
[Web App Development] jaison thomas:
using frameworks such as jquery mobile is a better option. u can use ajax calls to server to populate data. create a server side code that responds to ajax calls from app and fetch data from my sql and sends back the data either as json or xml
[Web App Development] Archer:
If you just want your app to have a local database then HTML5 already does that for you. I've used this library in the past and had no problems with it at all...

http://html5sql.com/

I wrote an app that imported a CSV file into a database. It was a very basic app, written as proof of concept for a bigger project when I first started developing web apps for mobile. Here's a basic version of importing a CSV and using html5sql to create a table with it...

function createDatabase() {
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0, gotFS, fail);
}

function gotFS(fileSystem) {
fileSystem.root.getFile("/sdcard/external_sd/temp/PRODUCTS.CSV", null, gotFileEntry, fail);
}

function gotFileEntry(fileEntry) {
fileEntry.file(gotFile, fail);
}

function gotFile(file){
readAsText(file);
}

function readAsText(file) {
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function(evt) {

var csv = evt.target.result;
var lines = csv.split("\n");
var i = 1;
html5sql.openDatabase("com.archer.testapp.db", "Test DB", _dbSize);
html5sql.process("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS products; " +
"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS products (linecode int, description varchar(255), barcode varchar(25), price int, stock int); ", function() {

function addRow() {
var line = lines[i].split(",");
var sql = "INSERT INTO products (linecode, description, barcode, price, stock) values (" +
line[0] + ", " +
"'" + line[2] + "', " +
"'" + line[1] + "', " +
line[6] + "," +
line[13] + ")";

html5sql.process(sql);

var pd = i / lines.length * 100;
$(".progress-bar").css("width", pd + "%");

i++;

if (i < lines.length) {
setTimeout(addRow, 2);
}
}

addRow();

}, function(error, failingQuery) {
alert("Error : " + error.message + "\r\n" + failingQuery);
});
};
reader.readAsText(file);
}

There's obviously stuff in there that won't be relevant and you'll need to change. Also I had a global variable, _dbSize, that was the initial size (in bytes) of the database, and there's some stuff in there about a progress bar. Use it or delete it - it won't affect the database being created.

Also, note the use of the addRow() function that calls itself. This was to enable the function to run asynchronously, which is needed if you want to be UI friendly (nothing will update whilst doing the import if you just import everything in one go).

However, since you mention AJAX then that may not be relevant. In which case you're just looking at API calls for whatever service is holding your database.
[Web App Development] JerryBels:
Hi friend ! If you're new to hybrid development, I highly recommend you to take a look at Ionic. It would help you on so many levels ! http://ionicframework.com/

About your issue, you can always define a REST API using your favorite backend (I know it can be done very easily with Laravel framework in PHP using MySQL DB). I prefer using Firebase ! https://www.firebase.com/

Firebase and Ionic framework based on AngularJS are such perfect match that half your code is already done before you knows it.

Happy coding !

Now that I’m working on a FULL roundup of EVERYTHING Windows Mobile instant messaging-related, I’ve also scrutinized the current state of Internet Relay Chat (IRC) applications. As I’ve already published several articles on Windows Mobile IRC clients, I’ve decided not to wait for the instant messaging article to be finished, but publish the news (as they are, as is the case with

First, PocketIRC .

PocketIRC has always been one of the best IRC applications for the Pocket PC (see these search results for more information on this question). The brand new version just released adds / fixes the following:

The much requested Favourite Channels list and auto join on connect capability (example screenshot here)

More detailed error messages, and improved disconnect detection

Verdict: a must for all existing PocketIRC users and recommended for anyone that wants to access IRC on his or her Pocket PC.

DXmobile releases Glam IRC, a “modern-style IRC app”

DXmobile, a newcomer to Windows Mobile development, has recently released a brand new IRC application called Glam IRC. Note that DXmobile doesn’t have a homepage; therefore, you’ll need to download their app (if you bother, that is) from third-party servers like PocketGear and Handango.

Unfortunately, while, on paper, this application seems to be pretty capable, in reality, it is really-really weak.

First, it doesn’t run properly on WM5 and WM6 VGA devices: it has major rendering problems. It seems it’s sensing a QVGA screen as can be seen in for example this Dell Axim x51v screenshot (the same in Landscape). The same stands for WM6 (Crossbow), as can be seen in here. It’s, however, OK with WM5 QVGA (including landscape) and WM2003(SE), both QVGA and VGA, as can for example be seen in this WM2003SE VGA Pocket Loox 720 screenshot.

Unfortunately, this title is one of the worst IRC apps for Windows Mobile I’ve ever tested. It’s very hard to find anything positive about it, except for the DCC and the offline messaging capabilities (which I couldn’t test because of the major trial restrictions, and I, generally, don’t request a review copy of apps I know I couldn’t write anything positive about.)

The problems:

Has a lot of typos - no serious app should contain typos

Major incompatibility problems with WM5 / WM6 VGA models

Absolutely no user control commands (kick etc) (1; in Menu / List channelname Users, there is no context menu and the main menu only offers DCC file sending to the user

No colors, bold, underline, italic etc

Trial mode entirely useless, you can’t even tell anything to anyone

Upon receiving a message in another tab, you don’t get any kind of a notification; not even the color of the tab name is changed

Not any kind of copy/paste support (including clicking URL’s), let alone logging and other advanced functionality that have long been supported by alternate clients

Verdict: forget it, this REALLY overpriced ($19) and REALLY bad application is just not worth bothering. There are a lot of even FREE IRC clients that are way better than this one.
