unlock sim on desire 816

I hope I'm posting in the proper place. Forgive me for being a newbee. I have an 816 set for Virgin Mobile but I want to change the carrier to MetroPCS. VG has given me the unlock code but I don't know what to do with it. The guy at Metro tried putting in a Metro SIM but it never prompted me for the code. VG is not helping. On reading about the 816 I learned that this phone has two SIM slots, one for CDMA and one for GSM. The slot for GSM is blocked by a small rubber thing, so you can't insert a SIM card. Can that thing be safely removed? Didn't want to force it. Looks like VG really wants me as a customer. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

816 has several variants, and some of them have two SIM Slots. I'm sure others who own the VM variant can tell you about it

I m using a5dwg how I can install a custom rom I'm on stock marshmallow s on unrooted I'm new to HTC
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukaru:
Even if you remove the sealing of the second sim slot, you can't insert another sim. You would have to manually replace the sim slots inside your device + add another board to get dual sim function. Also, you'll need superCid and the sunshine app.

All in all it would cost you almost the same as buying a new dual sim version.

Hi

I have a RedMi 1S running V45 (Indian Version). I am using this mobile since last 1 month. I am facing a strage issue with the phone.

Whenever the battery drains completely and the phone get switched off, it is taking forever to switch on the phone even after charging. I atleast need to charge it for 1 or 2 hours to see something on the screen. Its like the phone is completely dead.

I tried taking of the battery and inserted it and then charged. At this stage only thing I notice is the status LED glows in RED for a couple of seconds and like dead. After one or 2 hours, I see that LED starts blinking in RED. After this I need to wait for another 30 min or 1 hour to be able to switch on the phone. It is like the phone is taking almost 2 hours to get the initial charge to switch on the phone.

Is anyone facing same kind of issue?

Thanks
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] manudduke:
No mine is fine..
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] SH3H1:
It only takes about 10-15s normally to gain initial charge to boot up !

Maybe some issue with charging?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] dumtara:
No such issue faced yet. Once mine got fully discharged , but started in few seconds of charging.

Issue with the Charger

Hi

Looks like issue/compatibility with the Charger. I was using Samsung 2.5A charger which I bought for old mobile. Today, I tested with the original MI charger and the phone immediately showing the charging status. The MI original charger is 2A one. But still I think it has some compatibility issue with other chargers.

Thanks for your replies.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Pavan l:
Dont!!!

[MENTION=2273844]mail2eswar[/MENTION] Please Dont use any other charger except xiaomi charger!! Its Snapdragon 400 8228 and it actually supports Qualcomm Quick charge 2.0 but its not working (donno bcaz of kernel or its locked) So if u use any other charger u'll end up in SoC failures :silly: and leads Motherboard replacement!!!! :cyclops:
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] mail2eswar:
Thank you. I just started using the Original Mi charger today. I will continue using the same.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Xerather:

I'm new here. i did everything in this thread and i don't think the battery works for me . how many percent battery drained over 1 hour ?

and universal initd said that my kernel does not support init.d . had anyone encountered this ?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] szxa21:
Don't ever use another's phone as your Charger. Different V and A are the main cause of your issue.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] jaydeep darandale:
Did you get any solution for this issue I'm facing the same the same problem. I'm unable to restart my redmi 1s
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] maxsujoy:
Eaxct same problem on my Redmi 1S

Exactly the same issue with mu Redmi 1S. Initially everything was fine. Then one day I lost my original Charger (1 Amp) , and I started looking for a replacement charger. I got one 2 Amp Fast charger from a local store and initially everything was fine and the Phone used to charge fine but then it wont hold the charge for too long. So I started using my Redmi Note4 charger which again is a 2 Amp charger.

But as I see is that if my phone is once drained fully, it is not easy to start back. 2 Amp charger connected for 3 hours straight did'nt help, apart from the intermittent flicker of the LED once a while. No battery charging animation on the screen.

Then I took 1.2 Amp Nexus Charger and behold the full screen battery charging animation pops up immediately. I could start my phone while charging.

My inference is that get an original Xiaomi Redmi 1S (1 Amp) charger if you can. Or else suffer like me :(
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] yogibaba995:
i have the same problem . did you fix it
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Blue John:
exactly same problem here. Difference is that I'm using Redmi 1s for more than 3 yrs and suddenly out of nowhere these happened ( after battery discharged its not starting and a red led is blinking, even removing battery and connecting to the charger didn't work). Someone mentioned here not to use different charger, probably they r right bcz I used samsung charger while this happened. Went to Mi Authorized Servicing Centre they told Motherboard is damaged and will cost Rs. 4800/-. No way man! my Mi was of 5999/- not gonna fix it with 4800/-. I'll rather go for a new one.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] francis lynd:
can i solve this problem by changing another os
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] hem_2k4:
Yes You are right. Today after complete battery drain, I have connected phone to another charger that time LED on mobile start blinking so I assume that it started charging while it was not. After another one hr I tried to switched on but it was not switching on so I was worried and I started searching solution, Strangly when I connected Orignal Charger , it immediately shows battery symbol which was showing 0% charge. Thanks to this thread which help me to find solution.

BUGS I Noticed in this lovely ROM

This ROM is simply awesome & Am gng to stick to this.

Some

Bugs I have noticed

in this ROM (after Updating to 2.3.4) are

1. Battery percentage is not showing instead it showing settings in taskbar

simply the task bar is unstable & non-editable.

When I tap on Status Bar style in Pure Xperia Settings Am getting a pop up saying Unfortunately, settings has stopped

2. In the account settings

Xperia with Twitter is not letting me to sign-in, Where as Xperia with Facebook is missing after Update

3. While coming to camera, It shows 13MP but the output pic is in 12MP, let it be, b'coz we don't want beyond mobile limits. But the image size is amazingly reduced to Max of 4MB with superior clarity. I fell in love vd dis feature.

Bug here is while coming to video mode,

video effects

are making camera to exit

Attached Screenshots too.. You can see statusbar.

I installed this ROM today and noticed these bugs... I will try to post if any other bugs I notice in daily usage

I strongly recommend All Doodle2 A240 Users to flash this ROM.... Its awesome without lag

Hi All,

On 22nd October 2014, 06:57 AM a reply posted by Apurv:

"Your ROM is working fairly well on my Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 A240. The only problem I'm facing is that when I connect my phone to laptop it reflects of installing a "software" onto the computer and then it fails, due to which I'm not able to transfer files (I guess that's the only reason). Apart from this great UI and smooth performance till now...flashed the ROM yesterday."

And I gone thru more issues reported related to this ROM.

Why we do not have LOLLIPOP ROM for Micromax A240?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
Why don't you just integrate update to system with link2sd app

It will just replace the system app with the new update - you get the latest update and you not using any extra space with two versions of the app

Root required & restart after integrating (or it will force close)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] halnovemila:
That could be done, of course, but still there's a loss of 2MB of free space in /data and 2MB in /system due to the bigger footprint of the latest version.

Anyway is completely up to a personal choice if to upgrade or not.

The point here is that if someone doesn't want Google Play Store to self update now there's a known way to do so ;)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] spunker88:
Another way to do this is to did a modded play store apk here on XDA. A modded apk has been signed with a different key and therefore it cannot be updated by Google.

Uninstall any updates to the Play Store and put the modded apk in the system apps folder replacing the one on your phone, make a backup just in case. Reboot and you should have a play store that doesn't update.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] vin2m:
good trick bro :highfive:

save quota internet :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] halnovemila:
:cool: :D :highfive:

Thanks for the highfive bro ;)

Anyway I'm afraid that, as I pointed out at the bottom of my 1st post, even if the trick makes the update to fail (same as per the immutable "dummy file" trick) but it doesn't prevent Google Play Store to download the newer version (9MB of data or more) for the upgrade attempt; so the Internet quota is still affected.

How to stop updating play store WITHOUT root .. I need to have 4.x.x. installed but it auto updates to 5.x.x how to stop it

(cannot root my phone)

thnx
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] halnovemila:
I'm sorry but I'm afraid that without root privileges there's no way to avoid the self update of Google Play Store as this app is designed to self update and doesn't expose any option/settings that the user might use in order to disable that function.

So, as the self update can't be disabled by power of user account, it's required to operate at system level and therefore root privileges are needed.

Wow, sneaky! This is obviously a far superior solution to my chattr method. Wish I'd thought of it! :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] RemixedCat:
this fix is no longer working :( it still forced the new version right after the commands
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] halnovemila:
Hi RemixedCat,

I've tried just now to install the latest version of GPS (6.0.5) and the installation fails with the usual "Out of space" error (as shown on the video I published) due to the presence of the empty dummy folder.

If the folder is removed the installation completes without errors.

So the trick still works.

If it doesn't work for you maybe your Android configuration is different from mine, or you made a mistake on following the given instruction.

In order to figure out why in your case the update still take places and then try to give you some advices, please tell us:

- what's the Android version running in your phone

- if it's rooted

- what's the GPS version installed

- if the GPS currently installed is an update or not

-if you want to keep the current update or not

- if the GPS currently installed is installed as System app or User app

- what's the apk filename of the currently installed GPS.

You might want to install Link2SD to check the informations related to the currently installed GPS.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] halnovemila:
LOL

Very funny... all the people that post here or on my video comments saying that the trick doesn't work, once they get an answer from me with few advices on how to make it to work, they almost never care to reply again.

Did my advices worked out so that the initial statement of "it doesn't work" has proved wrong? or they didn't even care to read my reply or to follow my advices or to give positive feedback in case they finally have been able to have the trick to work as supposed?

Only God knows ;)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Aaren11:
I'm having trouble with this as well. I have replaced my preloaded GPlay store apk under /system/priv-app/Phonesky with a 8.10.30 apk - and created folders in /data/app/ named "com.android.vending" "com.android.vending-1" "com.android.vending-2" and the same with .apk on the end of the file name. I used terminal emulator and the su command, and even tried chattr +i - but still, google Play Store silently updates itself after a while and I get a new "com.android.vending-3" folder with the new apk in it. I'm at my wits end at this point. I don't want any newer versions of the store because they cause horrible battery drain on my M7, whereas 8.10.30 gives me no trouble. But without the folder trick working, my only hope seems to be to use LuckyPatcher to try and disable autoupdating that way.

And I honestly am yet to see a download source for LuckyPatcher that looks the least bit trustworthy.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] halnovemila:
Hi Aaren11

I don't know a single thing about M7, except that it's not a Galaxy Y phone and that for sure, according to what you said, the Android version running on your phone is different from the stock Galaxy Y Android version which is Gingerbread 2.3.1.

In Android 2.3.1 user apps apk file are stored in /data/app folder while in your case, according to your post, the app apk is stored in a subfolder of that path, so instead of /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk you have /data/app/com.android.vending-1/<something_here>.apk

This changes the scenario quite much.

I did a bit of search on Google to figure out what's your Android version and what's the default apps apk store folder without having to ask to you and waiting for your reply.

What I found out is that M7 is an HTC made Android phone, and is running Android KitKat 4.4 or above.

According to what i've found in Android 4.4 the apps apk file path should be like this:

/data/app/com.android.vending-1/base.apk

where the apk file name is not <app_name>.apk but just base.apk.

Is that correct Aaren11?

Is the file name of the apk you found in /data/app/com.android.vending-3 folder, base.apk?

So, let's try to adjust the trick to match your system.

- First of all switch off your phone Wifi and uninstall the GPS update.

- Clean the /data/app folder from all the com.android.vending???? folders you previously made.

- Make this new empty foders /data/app/com.android.vending/base.apk and /data/app/com.android.vending-1/base.apk

- To try if the trick works, instead of waiting for the next auto update that you don't know when exactly is going to happen, go download the GPS apk, move it to your phone via bluetooth, or USB or SDcard and install it.

Btw my Google search didn't result in any GPS version above 6.0.5 which seems to me to be the latest so I really wonder how is possible your GPS version is 8.10.30 unless that's not the GPS version but another related number you read somewhere else.

Anyway you can download the latest GPS version APK from here http://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/google-play-store-apk-latest-version-download/

- Post here the outcome of the attempt.

If the trick works the apk installation should fail with a "out of space" error message.

Good luck! ;)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Aaren11:
Thanks for the reply halove,

Honestly I suspected that simply altering the tweak to fit the different file structure might work, but at the same time because every single post on this matter I've seen so far referenced the same set of folders with the .apk extension - I also was under the impression that their precise location was mandatory to the functioning of the fix. I'll try fitting with my current file structure and seeing if I have any success.

Just to answer some of your queries. The M7 runs up to Android 5.0.2, at least that's as far as HTC has deined to bless us with OTA's, anything beyond that requires a custom ROM.

And my google play services is indeeed 8.3.00, I was confusing it and my Play Store version of 5.10.30. :p Last I checked Play services only goes up to 8.4.89.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Aaren11:
Yeah no luck there I'm afraid.

Doesn't matter how many 'com.android.vending' or 'com.google.android.gms' directories with 'base.apk's I make - there is always a new one created, and the update is installed. I went all the way up to 'com.android.vending-5' and it still persists creating a sixth directory and auto updating. Again, I'd have no problem with this, were it not for the fact that I get rediculously high cpu usage on anything above 5.10.30 and 8.1.14 - nevermind the inability to opt out of this update, or the rumours that Google keeps pushing new hidden features that I don't want collecting my personal information.

I've tried even intergrating the 5.10.30 / 8.1.14 apk's into /system/priv-app/ but neither copying the files directly out of /data/app/ and renaming them appropriatley, or using TiBu's 'intergrate to ROM' option seems to work.

I really am at my wits end here.
