And another...

The USB charging port developed a fault after me cleaning all the fluff out so I purchased the USB/headphone module for £3.25 from a poular auction site. I had a couple of hours free today so hairdryer, torx driver and guitar picks in hand I had a go...

Just getting the speaker covers off proved difficult :( However I persevered and eventually removed them. Getting the back off was also a pain, however again perseverance paid off and out it came.

Replacing the USB/headphone module was fairly straight forward. Then I put it all back together (the power button ffs...) and went through testing everything and quickly realised GPS wasn't locking on.

A quick search got me to this thread and then off with the back again. It was fairly obvious what I had done (looks like the guitar pick bent the GPS pin), however in my attempts to bend it back; off it snaps..

A carerfully folded piece of tinfoil in a 'U' shape, pushed into the gap where the pin previously was and then wrapped slightly around the circuit board where there are no components and it all seems to be working. GPS lock is what it was before (about 10-seconds indoor 3D fix) and everything else seems to be OK.

Thank you for the information in this thread.

Might be time for a new phone TBH :confused:

2 months ago i tried to fix it but the connector broke up but i tried to strech the remaining connector lead so it can made contact

it worked only after 4 weeks when i droped the phone ( DONT WORRY HE HAVE A BEAFFY CASE AND SCREEN PROTECTOR )

and the gps stopped working again and i never had the encouragment to reopen my phone ( maybe ill fix it when i replace the batt since mine dies at 50%)
[One (M8) General] Lazy8:
I know this is really old and I'm probably the last person to actually use an M8 but I changed my battery for the 2nd time this weekend and got the GPS not working error. A quick search on here lead to this thread and the fix to my problem. I must've bent the tab in taking the case apart. When I went to bend it back it broke. When I went to solder another tab on the whole base soldered to the board broke off. What I ended up doing was re-soldering the base for the tab back and then soldering in a piece of solder wick. figured what the heck it's copper must be conductive and it's flexible. It worked! So thanks again. I think this will be the last time I open up my phone as I'm sure I'll have a new phone by the time the battery dies again. Honestly though there is no phone out I want and I love my M8. Shame they don't just beef up the specs and remake the phone.
[One (M8) General] navcar:
Wow, long live your M8 :)

I also broke the tab... and board... but at that point I gave up because my soldering skills are not great

Hi,

I would like to ask if someone knows which dll's needed in order to work the builtin keyboard?

Actually i have the original Greek rom which support to write greek letters in 160 charct. SMS and also in general with keyboard.i suppose that some custom specific dll's are used for this and now i needed to import in WM6.

Thanks

I don't understand, are you looking to change your keyboard layout? In this case, you just need to edit a registry key. I can't remember the exact key so you'll have to do a small search; one of those contains a list of values for the various layouts with it stating that the UK keyboards hava a "locale" value of 0809...

Hi

I'm having this issue since updated my stock rom to 4.4.2 roms. When I set mobile networks to GSM only it works fine but on other options like LTE, after a while antenna drops and nobody can call me!!!

I have tried so many roms and updated my modem couple of times. Now these are specifications:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotfudgecakes:
Whenever I flash a custom kernel (So far I've tried Donkey Kang and XPerience) on my moto g (xt1032), the wifi doesn't turn on. Its stuck on the "Turning Wifi On" screen in settings. Mobile Data works though. Right now I'm running Euphoria ROM(Which is based off of CM12) with its stock kernel.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdcorriveau:
Hi,

I just bought an lg g3 d855. I've tried every root possible without any success ( even the purpledrake ). After further investigations a lot of post said that I must downgrade so I did watched this video ( androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html ) to do it. But when I come to the step that I need to press the volume up button while plugging the phone to the computer, I don't have the same screen as in the video. Instead I have a screen that says "Select Boot Mode". I am clueless. Any help would be appreciated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsAnilSingh:
I used kernel source from samsung opensource website and compiled the kernel using arm-eabi-4.7 cross-compile toolchains by following tutorials in xda forum.

I now have zImage, Image and also .ko modules.

flashable-zip:

I tried placing zImage and .ko modules in AnyKernel by koush, zipped it, signed it using SignApk.

Modified updater-script for the code: mount("MTD", "yaffs2", "system", "/system"); (If I didn't change the code, there was mount error stating mount requires 4 arguments something like that)

Placed the zip to sdcard, flashed it via CWM. Everything went fine.

But there was no change in "About device" i.e, Kernel version hasn't changed, that means zImage hasn't flashed.

boot.img:

And also I extracted boot.img from stock rom, extracted zImage and ramdisk from stock boot.img, replaced stock zImage with custom one, repacked the boot.img, made md5 file of it, flashed it via odin3.

But the mobile was stuck at boot logo with a red exclamation mark on top left corner of the screen. The phone wasn't booting normally, nor did it boot into recovery. But could boot into recovery using key combinations.

Also I used Image instead of zImage while making boot..img because the stock zImage extracted from stock boot.img was about 7.4 mb and the zImage I got from compiling was 3.3 mb and Image was 7.5 mb. Hence I also used Image and made another boot.img but that also didn't work.

Whats going wrong?

I have so many questions in my mind that I would like to ask all of you about this phone.

So here it goes:

1) How do you unlock this phone?

2) Is it possible to root it?

3) If question #1 can't be done, can I flash a custom rom for this phone so that I could use it?

4) Is there a way to install a new global firmware for this phone so that it supports many network operators?

I got this phone from my uncle from Japan. I've been looking for ways to find a solution but there seems to be none.

If you can hep me with this, I appreciate it :D

Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. While there is no dedicated section for your device on XDA, there are definitely threads relating to it, even ROM threads. Enter the following search terms into Google:

samsung grand neo gt-i9060 site:xdaforums.com

You'll find quite a few results come up. Please note, it's never a good idea to flash a ROM that isn't intended for your device, even if the Grand Duos i9082 preceded your device it's still a different phone and flashing anything for it will probably result in bricking your device.

Good luck!

Hi All,

My Wizard is set to turn the screen off after a minute of inactivity.

To get it back on, I have to press the power button.

I've checked in backlight and power settings and have it set to allow a screen tap to turn the backlight on, but it's not working - well, if the backlight's off but the screen's on it works ok, but I want a tap to turn the screen and the backlight on together. At the moment I have to press the power button, which upsets Pocket Player MP3 playback...or I can press a hardware button, but again, this tends to interrupt playback of music as all the buttons are mapped to something.

Seems a simple request, am I missing anything? This is under the Mr Clean ROM, if it makes a difference.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mfrazzz:
Once the screen goes off, the phone is "sleeping". The only way I know of to turn it on at this point is to tap the power button. To do what you want would be turn turn off the screen going into sleep mode, but that will come at the expense of your battery life. Start>Settings>Power>Advanced then uncheck the Turn off device under On Battery Power.

device lock(s)

A halfway solution, you could turn the screen off using the device lock app, which includes screen off. Then when you press the power button it only effects the screen and not anything which is running. The second one is very good for listening to music with, assuming you volume control button isn't broken like mine :)

So I got this phone for my lil sister and I want to make it sure the phone is anti-theft bust proof as possible.

She doesn't use Mobile Data as much because using Wifi is more convenient at places. Not having Mobile Data running makes Android Device Manager useless so does Xperia.

Is there a way to using SMS to lock the phone, or make it turn on the GPS which automatically forwards me the coordinates, or uses the SMS to send command to connect to the mobile internet which makes Android Device Manager/Xperia bultin in anti theft work?

[Xperia Z2 General] Envious_Data:
Actualy it isnt because if my music stops there are only few reasons

I forgot to put repeat on

Headphones pulled out

Someone took my phone
[Xperia Z2 General] y300owner:
Oh my bad, thats really clever. :D What about the software side of tracking the device. Do you have any?
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Since I started buying unlocked phones, I can no longer insure it. 500 USD It is A LOT in Mexican pesos, like 2 months of hard work at a sweatshop. So this are the security measures I've taken:

1-SIM lock

2-Pattern lock

3-As device administrators: my xperia, android device manager and the most powerful of all: CERBERUS

How It is configured:

I cannot live without a rooted phone. The main reason I got into the modding forums was to install Cerberus, that was way back in 2011. Now that we have the Xposed framework we can keep our phones a little more secure.

With the Advanced Power Menu (APM) module, you can configure what options are available on the lockscreen. If you steal my phone, you WILL NOT BE ABLE to:

-turn it off

-put it on silence

-set the airplane mode

The only option available on the lockscreen is the screenshot and LED light. And cerberus will take a photo of your ugly face and send me your location. Even if the phone is about to get lost forever, I can perform a factory reset and delete all the data on the external microSD.

Root is absoultely needed for the xposed and cerberus to work!
[Xperia Z2 General] y300owner:
Wow thanks for detailed reply. You have convinced me to root the phone only to get anti theft program running and not for custom Roms etc. Phone is not cheap by any standard and anti theft measures must be taken.

The advance power menu look very awesome and just the thing. I need.

I have some questions. With your device, is your location and Mobile Data always on? Doesn't this the drain the battery ? Can the thief steal your phone and replace the Sim gain access to the device? Can you still connect with the phone? Is it possible to gain control of the new sim card installed to connect to mobile interner and upload pictures and coordinates?

Google Android Device Manager and a small apk my freind wrote

(the apk enables GPS when the phone recievss a text with a code word, its pretty much what tasker can do)
[Xperia Z2 General] :
Yes, My Z2 is always online

Battery drain is normal for me. I charge it at every chance I have. I'm OCD when it comes to battery level.

If the SIM is replaced the phone is still locked by the pattern

But if the SIM is replaced with another carrier's SIM, this will f*ck up the internet connection. No data and no WiFi means no easy way for the phone to get access to mobile data or WiFi...but if the thief can unlock and does a factory reset, Cerberus survives and will still protect the phone after a factory reset. Unfortunately, Flashtool o PC Companion will erase everything (except for the external microSD).

Remember to keep the box or the phone's IMEI number and get as fast as possible to a police station or a carrier's customer center to lock the phone.
[Xperia Z2 General] y300owner:
OK. Do you think the carrier's can track the location of the mobile if I give them the IMEI number? Or does this depend carrier to carrier?

Also if I want Ceberus to really effective, I would need to root the phone?
[Xperia Z2 General] tOrNadO™:
My suggestion would be to use pattern lock or even better a number lock.. And also encrypt the phone.. That way if stolen, thy wil reboot the phone sometime and it gets locked [MENTION=434273]boot[/MENTION] itself if i am not wrong. BTW use theftie app if u r rooted and also switch on "location services" only.. It wont drain much like gps.. ;)
[Xperia Z2 General] y300owner:
Did you mean the Avast anti theft app? It's shows up in the top when I search theftie
[Xperia Z2 General] :
AFAIK the IMEI only bans the phone from mobile networks. No way of getting it back and yes, Cerberus needs root to be a powerful device manager.
[Xperia Z2 General] Haldi4803:
Yeah, Cerberus is a great app. Used that for a while when they had their Free App promotion.

There is only one little problem with this :)

What happens if you steal a phone? You shut it down and flash a clean new rom!

Powerbutton + Volume down for 10 seconds and the Xperia Z2 is offline! Not as easy as pulling out the battery, but if you know how it's as fast.

Nope, you cannot locate the IMEI. You can only register the IP adress from which this IMEI has accessed the internet.

And i'm not even sure the provider can do this.... google play store can for sure! But is the IMEI also sent when the SIM card is connecting to the network?

Me myself i don't use any theft protection... not even sure if myXPeria is activated atm ^^ Simply for the Reasons:

A: My phone will not get stole! nope it just wont!

B: if i ever lose my phone i trust the finder to bringt it back! I don't even have a number pattern, so the finder could call Australia if he felt like it. I'd rather hope he'd call home and tell me i lost my phone ;)

Also depends which country you are living, there aren't that many good people walking around these days.
