I want to change the app that opens when I try to view the pictures I took from the camera app (by clicking the thumbnail in the camera app). When I open the last picture the camera app open it with Album which shows all the picture on my device !! is there any way to change it to another app, quickpic for example ?

I've tried clearing defaults in both the Camera and Album Apps but it seems that there is nothing to clear !

So why do you open another thread, asking the same thing. Is it not obvious to you that maybe it can't be done, which is why no response?

Hi guys, so I've got this tablet for free with my new contract and I want to root it to play a bit with it :D . Do you guys have any idea how to do it ? I haven't managed to find any tutorials on the web :( .

Vonino Onyx QS root request

+1 on this issue.

I too have a Vonino Onyx QS tablet running on Android 4.4.2. The device is decent enough, but storage management is awful! Despite being advertised as an 8 GB tablet in terms of storage, the Onyx QS runs aground at about 900 MB of installed apps (including related data and cache) and starts yelling that there is "Insufficient storage available". This renders the tablet virtually unusable after installing just a few essential apps. Emails stop working, apps will no longer update and data-intensive apps such as Google Earth will simply refuse to run. The 32 GB external SD card I've added makes no difference. It's almost like the OS has no clue what to do with it.

I suck at Android. However, after a lot of digging for pieces of information I've come to undersand that these devices use separate partitions for the apps and other files. Some folks have also hinted towards the fact that the puny 0.9 GB app partition can be resized on a rooted device by means of a partition management app. Or apps could at least be moved to the SD card right before their installation (making use of an app such as Link2SD and, again, a rooted device).

This bring us full circle back to the OP's request: could someone please create and explain a rooting method for this tablet?

Just so you know, these are fresh screenshots of this fresh factory reset configuration. Thought it would fix the problem, but it didn't.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paget96:
try with Kingo ROOT. You do it at you'r own risk.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muravey:
Successful rooting of Vonino Onyx QS tablet

Hi, Paget96! Thank you so much for the solution!

I'm writing this to let you, the OP and everybody else know that Kingo Root did it! :D I have succesfully rooted the tablet and the process itself was quick and merely a matter of installing the software on my PC, connecting the tablet via USB and clicking my way through.

Afterwards I installed Link2SD Plus to manage the transfer of apps from internal storage to the external SD card (32 GB in my case). The app is dirt cheap and truly what you need, because the free version does not allow you to move app data, only the app itself and its libraries. As I've come to know, data and cache build-up is what ends up killing storage space.

Before installing Link2SD however, one must prepare the SD card by means of a partitioning program. Highly recommend you do this via card reader on an actual PC. Use MiniTool Partition Wizard, it seems to be very popular these days. Delete whatever's already on the card and make two PRIMARY partitions: the first one will be FAT32 and will store the media you consume (like music, photos, videos etc.), while the second partition has to be ext4 (ext2 did not work for me on this tablet) and will hold the apps and their data. You can go ahead and name them "Media" and "Apps" respectively to avoid confusion. Remember: both must be primary partitions, the first one is FAT32 for media, the second is ext4 for apps. I made my app partition 10 GB big. Overkill, you say? Hey, I'm done with insufficient storage space errors, ok? :silly:

While you're at it, you might want to add a third partition for swap space to add more RAM to your device. There are tutorials for it on the web.

Once you're done formatting the card, reinstall it in the tablet, open up Link2SD and choose ext4 at the script mounting prompt. From there on, moving apps from internal to SD card space should be intuitive.

Prior to all this fiddling I suggest you perform a factory reset on your device so you can start clean. Can't tell you anythihg about custom ROMs or stuff like that because I didn't have a need for them. This thing works fine apart from that silly storage limitation.

Phew! I can finally enjoy using my tablet... :fingers-crossed:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paget96:
10gb is too big, you will broke your sd.

Better use 512mb.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muravey:
Could you expand on that one, please? Why am I at risk of ruining the SD card?

Hello,

I create that post to present you a tutorial explaining to you how to create an Old School Rotary Dialer application from scratch.

I made a video tutorial available here on Youtube :

[YOUTUBE]sWdc0s7QQZQ[/YOUTUBE]

Tutorial has the 8 following steps :

Images

Draw the Rotary Dialer

Animate the Rotary Dialer

Add a number area

Fire dial event

Display number dialed

Conclusion

Extra

Each step is explained with source code to help you to create the same Old School Rotary Dialer. The complete article is available here : http://www.ssaurel.com/blog/how-to-create-a-rotary-dialer-application-for-android/

To conclude, you can see the result in action from the Old School Rotary Dialer application I have already published here on Google Play Store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ssaurel.rotarydialer or use direct download link from my server : http://www.ssaurel.com/rotarydialer/RotaryDialer.apk

If you have questions about the tutorial, don't hesitate to tell me.

[Android Apps and Games] sixgunmojo:
Talking about the app here

This is epically awesome (awesomely epic?):laugh: I'm actually (barely - thanks grandma) old enough to remember using rotary dialers irl. I have set this up as my default dialer.

I don't know if you plan on developing this any further or if it's just going to be the tutorial, but if you do, I have one request. When autocomplete is checked under settings only the first 3 contacts that match the first # of the string are shown and no others. I can see from a design/aesthetic standpoint that vertical listing is out but a side to side scroll would be nice. Furthermore, continuation of the number does not refine the search. Example - when I dial a 4, the first 3 numbers (and only the first 3) in my contact list that start with area code 4xx are shown. As soon as I start entering a prefix (4xx-7xx-xxxx) that is out of range of the shown contacts no other contacts appear.

Yes I will watch the tutorial later to see if this is something I could address but as I have the programing skills of the desk I'm siting at, I'm not holding out much hope. :D

Edit --- I just noticed when I started dialing, the numbers are listed in order by prefix and not the order in my contacts list.

Starting with a 4 the numbers just coincidentally happen to be in my contact list order.
[Android Apps and Games] sylsau:
Thanks for your message.

Applications is always on development. I collect some futures asked by users. When I have enough new features to implement an enough time also, I plan a new release.

Display more than 3 numbers and add a scrolling panel could be a good idea.

For the other request, it seems to be a bug. I will try to reproduce.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] A0425A:
Hi All. New to the S3. I was looking for a nice Android phone and a co-worker had one for $40. I jumped in head first considering the price. Then I found out it had 4.4.2 and I was pretty much stuck to TW based ROMs (prefer stock android). I'm OK with that because I'll use a 3rd party launched. I just want all the Verizon bloatware gone. I've read some and it seems most of the custom ROMs are OK but each has their own set of standard features that don't work as they would with a stock ROM or some apps might had issues when running a certain custom ROM. So the question is if your requirement is to reduce/remove the carrier bloatware what's a good ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
There are currently only 3 roms that are available for the bootloader locked down S3

And as always, there doesn't need to be threads about what rom is better than the other. Best bet is to always do your own research

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mgbotoe:
Anyone found a descent (great) extended battery that still goes with our phone ? They got a few for the note 3 that I wish were also made for our phone!

I have seen a few on ebay but I find them hard trusting.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Joey2o11:
How is an extended battery going to fit under the original battery cover? Greater capacity means greater size.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] mgbotoe:
Anything beyond stock is extended. Companies made them plenty for the note 3. I don't care for 10k or 5k for that matter. But I found one...mod can close / delete
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] lightforce:
which one did u get?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Joey2o11:
Any of those batteries claiming to be high capacity yet OEM sized are probably dangerous (Google cheap lithium batteries) and nowhere near the capacity they claim. If you want to risk your expensive new phone by sticking in some cheap nasty battery that could explode go for it.....
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Yes, what Joey2o11 said is correct. A battery that's the same size as the factory battery will have the same, or less, mah as the factory battery. Any company claiming their factory-sized battery has more mah is simply lying so they'll sell more batteries. You can read where many different unaffiliated companies test batteries from manufacturers and 3rd parties, and you'll see the results are always the same. Bottom line - if you want more mah, you'll need a bigger battery.

Also, you made a thread asking the community to share info about batteries. So when you found one to purchase you should have shared your findings with the community, not asked a moderator to close the thread. XDA is all about sharing information with the community, not keeping it to yourself...
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] twe69:
Not 100% true as I remember the higher capacity battery for my old Sony Xperia phone lasted longer than the oem battery even though it was stock size.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Joey2o11:
So no actual solid evidence then other than you seem to remember it lasted longer... If it was possible to make batteries with a higher capacity for the same size do you not think the likes of Sony, Samsung etc would have done it themselves in the first place?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] twe69:
I had the Sony Xperia Play mobile phone, the extended battery was quoted to be only 200mAh higher but made a difference. 6 months on the standard battery versus 6 months on the extended battery I could tell the difference. It was also talked about here on xda when it was the 'in' phone.

I do know that most batteries quoted are not genuinely that much higher or better than stock with the same dimensions but I can say that the statement was incorrect in my opinion from my experience for that one occasion.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] katamari201:
That phone was never the "in" phone and anyone who thinks any cheap chinese third party battery is gonna compare to a stock oem battery is delusional. They are expensive for a reason, even after you trim off the excessive markup.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Joey2o11:
That sums things up nicely :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iridaki:
If there was a way for extra mAh to be crammed into the same space, Samsung would've done it themselves. And even if there was a way and some other company made such batteries, the production costs would be through the roof, so the retail price would reflect that.

The best you can expect from a cheap battery is to be on par with the OEM (although unlikely), but it's simply unrealistic to expect it to be better.
[GiONEE Elife E7] mruduljoshi:
since the kernel and other sources for our mobile are not available for 4.4.4 for our mobile why not make the cynogenmod 11 or 4.2.2 which we currently have with already available sources. This will help in getting the most effective android rom right now on our mobile atleast

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
Place your pre-orders now American customers! I have found one company located in North America. I have already placed my pre-order. The quote was provided as 550 pounds and 600 pounds with all prices inclusive.

Here is the link

link 1

or

link 2 <-- removed due to seller being fake!

link 1 is canadian customers and link 2 (removed)

It is widely available in Europe via many resellers for the same price! Enjoy! They will ship sometime in April. Brand new in box and SIM Free Unlocked and in English with a English Keyboard unlike T-mobile and Dopod!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
The second link look quite fake, that company is only selling 1 item which is the Advantage? um.....pls be careful there. And also as i see it's still on pre-order. You sure they have confirm that price already? In uk, we have lots of website pre-ordering Advantage but the price are all soo different. You might end up paying more or less because those price is not final yet.

I can only say this again: If you want the Advantage so bad, wait until April, it will be out by then, no point doing any pre-order, you will get the machine about the same time anyway. By april, lots of company will be offering Advantage, and you can choose the best deal then.

If you really want to place your pre-order, please take some time to phone up HTC and ask them whether the price is right and is it really available now? I have just phone them and the answer is HTC ADVANTAGE IS NOT OUT AND THE PRICE IS NOT FINAL. so please be careful here...........
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
thanks i figured it out i removed that second link. filtering out my searches. that second seller was a fraud. thanks for revising me. wait isnt the price htcphonestore.com offering is $1500USD! >.> thats around 800 pounds and i believe thats a final price for now. but some resellers in europe offering 600 pounds. i saw it myself. and this canadian seller also offering 600 pounds. i trust the canadian seller.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
The europe reseller are all on pre-order, that's why the price are all not final yet. The canadian seller might just got the price from those website. Because they are all on pre-order and price not fix, no much people is putting interest in ordering them now, they rather wait until the price is confirm. The 600 pounds might comes from DOPOD U1000 as well, since that's the confirm price. I will be surprise if Advantage is only £600. from 3GSM, the HTC people say it's going be about £700, that's what expansys and mobile planet heard as well.

Usually the machine is cheaper in Asia. So Advantage should be more than £600 (DOPOD U1000).
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
Well you will see its going to stick to £600 when it comes out. So you should return your Dopod and pre-order an Advantage X7500. See you have nothing to loose. you will be without a phone for a month latest but thats fine. You will gain a lot of things out of this. Let me brief you on the specs of the Advantage compared to Ameo and Dopod.

Firstly,

Performance wise all of them are equal

Secondly,

Quality/Body wise Advantage tops because it uses carbon fiber/magnesium alloy and ameo uses aluminum alloy with plastic just like dopod which is not a problem at all because they look like ipod but it just gets scratched up pretty easily. Plus HTC is a much better company than T-Mobile and Dopod since you are dealing with the original manufacturer and not a name branded t-mobile or dopod. HTC maintains its originality and you are getting it first hand instead of dopod changing the entire body and name branding it. So I make a wise choice and you are very impatient so you going to regret it. Anyways i am going to wait for 1 month or over 1 month for more people to start selling black one. i want to feel dopod before i make a decision. ameo looks awesome too. but i will wait for a month or two.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
I am tired of people who don't understand the relationship between DOPOD and HTC, they are basically the same company, DOPOD is the sister company of HTC which is responsible of dealing with customer. Just for those people who have not touch bothe Advantage and Dopod u1000, i have played with both and personally, i think the DOPOD U1000 has a better finish and also better quality. But again, that's my personal view.

For support wise, DOPOD will give so much better support than HTC, HTC has just recently start dealing with customer, they are not very good at it, and they are thinking to hand the US and Europe market to DOPOD since they are doing so much better. If you look at HTC Official website, can you see any update or bug fix? NO!!!!! Nothing there, although they make the machine, but they don't fix the problem, you won't get any update from HTC, instead you will get it from DOPOD and T-mobile, they are their own engineer to fix up the problems. That also explain why the DOPOD machine is running smoother than Advantage, the test unit of Advantage still seems buggy, maybe that's the reason of delay.

Anyway, so which machine should you get?

I say this again: if you want black one, go Advantage, don't think more

If your contract is due to end, go Ameo

Any other people (including people who can't wait) should consider Dopod.

Will i return my Dopod and get Advantage? Sure not!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] nuclear:
Alright i contacted the guy in montreal and he gave me a quote. He said its a pre-order. Also i asked him if there are any stores in new york or toronto where i can get this phone around april. Lets see tomorrow when i talk to him more. He said he is selling for £600 which is the same price as the dopod and thats truly amazing. Well sure i would get the dopod... its not like i got something against white.. it just seems stupid to get a keyboard with chinese characters on it and a chinese rom. Also i have never had a HTC phone.. all my phones till now.. branded by O2, Dopod or Orange... so i am really happy to see the HTC logo on my phone ^^

Big difference between HTC Advantage and Dopod U1000

I have been reading this forum, but I have to say there is a big difference in specifications between HTC Advantage and Dopod U1000. If you type www.htc.com you will see under specs the HSDPA/UMTS (2100 MHz for Europe, 850/1900 MHz for USA) this means that if you buy the Europe version it only has 2100 MHZ. However if you type www.dopodasia.com you will find that under specs it comes with 2100MHZ AND 850/1900 MHZ. As such both models are very different. In addition, If you look at the weight, Dopod U1000 is much heavier than the HTC advantage. I was wondering how come nobody noticed this.. As such based on those 2 official websites. These 2 models are different not just the colour. I hope this helps.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] bogusiano:
In my personal opinion I think that the weight published on the HTC site includes: HTC Advantage + Battery as it clearly says: 359g (with battery)

On the Dopod site, the weight includes: Dopod U1000 + Battery + Keyboard as it says: 375g(With battery and Magnetic Qwerty keypad)

So I think the weight difference is only what is being weighted.

And for the HSDPA/UMTS frequencies I understand that the band of 2100 MHz is the one European Carriers are using, and in the USA the carriers are using 850/1900 MHz band. I don't think HTC will release a version for USA and one for Europe, what about Asia and the rest of America? I think they are just pointing out which band you have to use if you will use it in USA or in Europe.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

Regards!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
I think when they say "2100 MHz for Europe, 850/1900 MHz for USA" means those are the frequency for these country, it should support both.

The weight difference can be cause by many reason. i have weighted my Dopod and i got 372 which is with battery, and keyboard.

Not sure the advantage weight is including keyboard or not, it doesn't say.

But i think it make kind of sense that DOPOD is heavier (not that much anyway, don't think you will notice it) because the good material it use.

by the way, the keyboard itself weight about 80
