No, no todavía. Sólo hacerte más pobre pagando hasta US$50... es estúpido!

Alguien tiene que saber como desbloquearlo. Insisto, prefiero pagar a alguien que libere la forma de hacerlo, o donar al foro. Hay un thread donde un español logró identificar la diferencia entre un SP bloqueado y lo que hace la aplicación de una empresa que vende el servicio de desbloqueo, para otro modelo de HTC. Podría hacerlo tb. para el Excalibur...

imagenes mms

Hola!

Tengo el problema de que siempre que recibo una imagen en un mms, la imagen esta en 160 x 120 de resolucion.

Me han enviado mms de varios celulares y de varias resoluciones y siempre es lo mismo.

Alguna idea?
[HTC Excalibur] chucuflu:
bueno.. pues he escuchado de programas para liberar el htc.. en el HTC wiki.. aqui esta la page.. a ver si te sirve..

http://www.htcwiki.com/page/The+Dash+FAQ

por cierto.. Alguien tiene algun programa de mapas con algun mapa de mexico.

he probado el Smart2go de nokia.. y es muy bueno pero como es Generico para WM5 no corre muy rapido..

agradeceria cualquier info..aqui o por PM..GRACIAS
[HTC Excalibur] egosumpaul:
Nope, no hay aplicaciones para desbloquear la SIM (o CID tb.). La información que allí aparece es para desbloqueo de aplicaciones (que no tienen certificado de seguridad, o bloqueadas por el proveedor telefónico). Te recomiendo que leas este mismo thread al principio y bajes del sitio de DEBLOR el lector de mapas que mejor te convenga (recuerda que para bajar las aplicaciones de ese sitio tienes que hacer doble click en los "..." puntos de la URL, ve el thread completo...)

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jam256:
Will the 6P have that dedicated chip that's always listening for the OK google hotword without heavy battery drain?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aridon:
The question is "without heavy battery drain"

Moto said their service was on a low draw core on the Pure and they were full of crap because turning off all their crapware is the only way you can even net anything close to decent battery life. Can google get it right? I don't know but I'll probably turn it off regardless.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNLiberal:
Isn't that part of the Android Sensor Hub?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Howie Dub:
I wonder if the Android Sensor Hub is just a fancy name for the Hexagon DSP in Snapdragon chips? I've been using the always-on function of "OK Google" on my Note 4 for quite some time and haven't noticed any significant battery drain. I've left my phone off the charger overnight and I typically get about .5-1% drain per hour, depending on what notifications I get during the course of the night. That's about what I had before turning on "OK Google". The only issue I've had is the consistency with Google Now activating with the screen off. I think Android sometimes kills Google Now if it's not used in a while.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aalupatti:
Using ok google everywhere in nexus 6 all the time.. Works great with screen off... Love this feature... So useful when u dont want to pick up the phone or driving.

I can't bring myself to talk to my phone..... I've tried and felt like a complete pillock!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cccoltsicehockey:
I hope this function works on the 6P still and doesn't drain a lot of battery. I do use it a lot with my N6 right now. However, I only use it when I am alone I could not think of talking to my phone like that in public haha.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smallsmx3:
Huh? It's a sensor built into Qualcomm sd chips. The nexus 5 had it. It just didn't have the software for always listening with the screen off..... I think it was on the nexus 6 because it was a moto and Google owned moto. Id assume we wouldn't go backwards. Since the functionality is built into Google's own app. I think it's safe to say it's here to stay
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilz:
No this is supposed to be a different sensor not the DSP you are referring to. The Android Sensor Hub does more than just always listening, it allows for more accurate step counting, finger print unlock without waking the phone etc... Watch the keynote for the launch of you want more details

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Miche1asso:
Can anyone please explain what the <censorship> Lollipop is doing with the mount points? I made this simple test script to move the dalvik-cache folder into the "sd-ext", a secondary partition in the SD card in ext4 format:

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Stop Android from booting
#
stop
#
#
SDEXT=/dev/block/mmcblk1p2
if [ ! -e /data/dalvik-cache ]; then
mkdir /data/dalvik-cache
chmod 771 /data/dalvik-cache
chown 0.0 /data/dalvik-cache
fi
mount -o rw,remount / && mkdir /sd-ext
mount -w -t ext4 $SDEXT /sd-ext && chmod 775 /sd-ext
mkdir /sd-ext/dalvik-cache
chmod 771 /sd-ext/dalvik-cache && chown 0.0 /sd-ext/dalvik-cache
busybox mount /sd-ext/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
mount -o ro,remount /
#
# Finished. restart Android
#
start

The problem here is that no matter if /data/dalvik-cache is mounted in /sd-ext/dalvik-cache (and it is) Android/zygote or whoever is in charge still manages to put the dalvik caches in the original /data/dalvik-cache folder. I added the stop/start commands to stop the zygote and its relatives from running. The script is started from /system/su.d as from SuperSU documentation. Which means at the moment the su daemon starts.

I mean this is a much simpler test version of a script I made for GB and worked through KK (with no need to ad the stop/start commands either). What's going on? What am I missing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HypoTurtle:
--bind missing?

Have you tried instead modifying boot.img to run it directly? --- add in a busybox and replace the dalvik creation with a redirect to a .sh...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Miche1asso:
Well, I used "busymox mount" because it automatically detects that being two directories they get mounted as a bind. Or so i supposed. Still i doubled checked, now. Same thing.

Not sure what you mean about redirecting to a .sh. Anyway, I also tried (the old) mounts2sd for testing. Same thing. it's like if something in Android gets hold of /data and its subdirectory and mounting over it doesn't matter. This with zygote dead. It's driving me mad.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Miche1asso:
Well, I believe it is related to selinux and the mount namespaces. I disabled the option in SuperSU to have individual name spaces and something different did happen: the whole ART crashed, rebooting the phone (not just Android, I think even the kernel restarts).

As they usually say.. let's forget about it. Link2SD doesn't help much either, since it must keep the system dalvik caches (more than 500GB) in the internal memory.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoseth:
Is there a tweaked stock TW 4.4.2 with security fixes being updated for i9505 by any devs?

As Samsung won't do it (only for 5.0.1), there seems to be no up to date (security wise) ROM

for those who prefer 4.4.2. I can only see 5.0.1 and 5.1.1, which I somewhat dislike.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Look at the ROMs in the development forums. They're all for Android 5.x, so you might as well upgrade. Your next phone is going to have Android 5.x and even possibly 6.x on it anyway, so there's little point in holding out.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syekm123:
i tried to install a new rom with the twrp recovery mod and before starting the process i unistalled twrp, the app from which i got the recovery mod. now when i started the process i factory reset the phone. afterwards when i tried to install the custom rom it said "No file_context" which meant it couldn't it because i unistalled the app. i rebooted my phone but it only boots on the custom recovery mode and at the moment i'm trying the download mode and praying for it to work. does anyone know any other ways to make it work?
[Sony Xperia C] farzeen:
Hi, is there any way to improve the front camera of sony xperia c2305. Can you tell the procedure, if any, after rooting it?
[Android General] tooplanx:
Hi all,

I have been through douzens of threads and forums looking for a solution to this.

I followed some instructions to modify the build.prop file on my Huawei G535-L11 to disable Huawei theme manager in order to get Xsposed working fully (changed ro.config.hwtheme: 0). I did a backup of my original build.prop before hand, and my phone was rooted and unlocked but running the stock rom.

Unfortunately, it rebooted but won't go past the first 'EE' splash screen (just turns off again).

I can inconsistently get in to both fastboot and Android recovery, so I have been trying to use adb to push the original build.prop to /system/ on the phone.

However, this fails as /system/ is apparently RO. I have now discovered that I can't get SU permissions despite my phone being rooted.

If I try:

adb shell

$ su

nothing happens and it goes back to a $ prompt.

If I try:

adb root

I get the message (paraphrased):

adb cannot run as root in production builds.

So I can't push or do any adb method of restoring the build.prop file?! I don't understand why it is acting as if it is not rooted. I had Link2sd, Gravity Box, No Frills Cpu Controller all set up and working before, so I'm fairly sure I did truly have root.

I have also tried flashing a TWRP recovery, which apparently is successful, but when I go in to recovery it is still the Android Recovery. :confused:

Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to get my phone working again please?! This is my last gasp before the phone gets filed under 'B' in the cylindrical cabinet in the corner of the room! :crying:

Any assistance greatly appreciated! :D

Hi,

thanks a lot for this review.

I'm looking for a tablet for my son. This one seems to be really good but i'm hesitating with the Cube Talk 9x who seems to be good too.

My son play a lot of games and he look vidéos on youtube.

Can you tell me for you which one is the better choice?

Maybe another tablet ?
[Android General] SouNourS:
Any root for this ?
[Android General] jak78007:
Just to understand

Sorry for the question as a newbie I am,

Is there any particular reason that the Cube T8 Plus root procedure has not been addressed in Xda-dev forum ?

Indeed I have heard that the root procedure has been probably discovered in the 4pda.ru russion forum.

Thanks for your feedback.

Please let me know if my question is in the correct Topic. :o
[Android General] sonmauri:
Careful. I just got the T8 plus and the available internal storage for apps is JUST 2.9 GB. Thats very low. If you install games then you will probably run out of space with two games.
[Android General] ARandomIndian:
64Bit

Why do phones have 64bit processors even though they don't have more then 3gb of ram?
[Android General] vorlonresident:
I guess it'd be possible to re-partition the internal storage, tho, to then give more of the available 16GB to the 'system' partition as people have done on many devices with the same situations and as it's mentioned here for another device (T9) from the same manufacturer:

The flickering issue could be linked to the one below :

I personnaly tried to update the firmware in order to figure out slownesses encountered when playing mp3 music from the sdcard port.

But it failed (soft brick) - despite the procedure was succesfully performed -

with the same image flickering issue

.:crying:

Hope this advise will prevent people to try the same. (Firmware version limited by IMEI starting as T8P.)

Now I am waiting for the next firmware to fix my issue.:rolleyes:
[Android General] WARR10r:
I've ran into same issue. Now we're waiting together :(
[Android General] leftfooted:
No multi user support

for both the T8 and the T8 Plus. Need to apply custom zip through recovery or root the phone. enabling multi user support effectively blocks updates because checksum check of build.prop will fail.

Cube allows anyone with access to the fota servers (or middleman) to install any software/malware they like. since they use the publicly available Android test keys for signing - As a toy their tablets are good enough though...
[Android General] lezpaul:
Brick solved

I had same flickering issue after flashing the official firmware downloaded from cube-tablet . com

BAD FIRMWARE - 0502L800_UE78_T8PG4W10F13TTEXMX8C(STD)_F915_IND_FULL

I downloaded another firmware, flashed it with SP Flash Tool and the Cube T8 Plus has been recovered totally to factory default.

GOOD FIRMWARE - 0502L800_UE78_T8PG4W10F13TTEXMX8C(STD)_EA04_IND_FULL

I cannot post link, but google that and you will find it easily on Mega. I found it on chinagadgetsreviews . blogspot . it (DEC 5, 2015 - DOWNLOAD LATEST ANDROID LOLLIPOP 5.1 STOCK FIRMWARE FOR CUBE T8 TABLET)

I don't know why, but some versions of Cube T8 Plus works with first (official) firmware, other versions of Cube T8 Plus (like mine) works with the second firmware.

Download archive, extract, open SP Flash Tool, go to Download tab, select the scatter file of the new downloaded firmware and select "Firmware upgrade" (not "Download") before click the download button and connect the tablet.

Good device, poor support

I purchase a Cube T8 Plus about a bit over 3 months ago, primarily to use as an e-reader (using FB Reader Pro), as it's much cheaper than dedicated e-readers and has a great deal more versatility. I had been extremely happy with it until about 2 weeks ago, when the battery charge dropped from 80% to fully flat in about an hour. Now it will no longer switch on.

I contacted the manufacturer through their web site to find out how to make a warranty claim but more than a week later I still haven't had a reply. A Chinese colleague has written them an email on my behalf, in Chinese, and am waiting to see if they ever respond to that. So far, I'm not happy with their "support".

I picked one of these up (non plus with HDMI) but it will not register on ATT using the sim from my ATT supplied tablet. ATT advised they cant identify the device by the IMEI and have put in a request to the "back office" to add the IMEI or something. In the mean time I have cloned the IMEI of my working tablet but it still will not register. I have created a couple new APNs from info I found in ATTs website and other places but it still doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomas_v:
Hi, not sure if its the right place to ask, but why not :)

I have bought my Z3C back in February, new, from the shop. I upgraded from Sony Acro S.

The only reason I did that is that lens cover got all smudged and scratched, so photo were blurry.

I got z3 compact, I did, and still think it very nice phone. Battery life is amazing, I love the size of it. But same as with Acro S, lens cover is once again getting weird smudges.

http://imgur.com/oHg6ZDj

If there is any light source, pictures are bad, and I do need camera to take normal pictures. And I did read the thread about it, and that I can try toothpaste etc, but I wont do this I might take it back to the shop and they will replace the back cover, but will help for another few months? And I did have camera lens protector (that is made for LG phones) but it doesn't help with picture quality.

So my question is - with what would you replace it? I love the size of the phone and it has to tolerate humidity, rain, some water. Is there anything that could compare to z3c in these regards and have a decent lens protection? Samsung S5? S6 active is not to my liking (too rugged :) )

How about Z5C does it have the same same problem?

Sorry for long post and thank you very much for the advice.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilboa1:
Coating wears off too easily yes. Z5c? ;)

There arent many phones with the specs you're looking for. I fear they all start with a z.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomas_v:
I thought so :/ I am afraid that if I will get Z5C it will be same story like the last two Sony's I had.

This is sad. Will get them to change the back cover and then I suppose I will have to do like I did with this z3c. Buy a screen protector, place it on the back of the phone, and peal it every time I am taking a picture and look stupid while doing so.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radiohead14:
have had mine since last year's release. with a thin case, the lens has been protected. why not use one?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mab71:
Niilkin tempered glass comes with a lens and back protector too... Why don't u check it out
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomas_v:
I did use Nillkin glass protector, it did shatter (started at the corner) but it was good.

But thats not the problem, lens is already bad. Protector wont help now. And its not the scratches, lens is not scratched, it looks like it from humidity or something, that weird stuff its between the plastic and coating :)

So I am not sure it will protect it. Like I said I had a lens protector, it did not help, it helped in a way that lens is not scratched, but its unusable anyway.

I cant be bothered taking my phone for repairs ever few months, that takes 2 weeks to do and its a huge inconvenience. So my plan is to fix this. And sell it, buy a new that doesnt have bad coating, lens protection.

The question is what? S5? Wait for someone to confirm that Z5C has proper protection on lens?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzab a:
I believe the reason the coating comes off is due to the constant exposure to liquid, why not just send it to Sony to repair
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffDaddy_d:
I don't know what your old lens protector was made of, but once you get your scratches fixed or replaced, just use the clear film back protector from xtremeguardz. It covers the lens and wont shatter. Plus, with the discount codes they often run, it costs next to nothing, so buy 3 and replace when they inevitably peel or turn yellowish.

I've been using mine for months and it hasn't affected picture quality one bit.
[Nexus Player General] yldaedroid:
As of Kodi 16 - Alpha 3 (Jarvis) they implemented a long-press feature which allows you to press and hold the Select button for a moment and the context menu will appear! Tested it last night and confirmed it worked like a charm. All I did was download the APK from the Kodi website, FTP it to my NP then run it. It upgraded with no issue and I didn't lose any of my Kodi data or settings.

Alternately, if you are not ready to upgrade you can create a NexusPlayer.XML file containing the code below and place it here: Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/

You must restart Kodi for this change to take affect. This Keymap will make the Play/Pause button pull up the context menu when navigating the menus but will still Play/Pause when viewing media.

<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<play_pause>ContextMenu</play_pause>
</keyboard>
</global>
<fullscreenvideo>
<keyboard>
<play_pause>PlayPause</play_pause>
</keyboard>
</fullscreenvideo>
</keymap>

My thoughts:

I love the NP remote because of how it feels in the hand. I hate that it doesn't have a menu button and how loud the buttons are when clicked. I can get over the clicking but not having the menu button for Kodi really sucked. So, for a while I was using the non-voice fire tv remote. Which I love! Buttons are quiet, and it has the menu button. The downside is that there is no voice without the NP remote and its very small so it doesn't feel as good in the hand.
