[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] PhullSpec:
I've just bought the MDA Vario II and yes it is very cool, however I've noticed a few issues I have that make it not so useful for me.

I use Yahoo Web mail a lot (no I don't want to set up an account on my phone), I can select to go to my Inbox, I can select individual mail items or select them to delete.

However, I cannot access any of the standard e.g.

CHECK MAIL/COMPOSE/REPLY/DELETE

buttons, so I can't actually reply to anyone. Very fustrating!

Also there are other web pages I use where I get a similar problem and cant access buttons that would normally be available on a desktop pc.

I've talked to T-mobile about this and they've not really got any help on this, one of the support guys said to load the latest flash player as that helped him. Tried that, no luck.

Can anyone help me with this as it seriously affects my use of this otherwise cool phone.

Cheers

Either upgrade to WM6 (for free from the site) do some reading prior to that,

or download and install the opera browser for ppc and use it, it works.

Buy only d855 version as a result you will lots of dev support....also. Have a easy ota update....d858 only have dual sim thats it
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BajaxIZ:
i think there'll be a huge battery performance difference between dual sim&single sim. you should consider that. maybe you can find another option with dual sim and better battery performance.

Thats not true. I got both, dual and single sim. and its the same thing. plus the dual have 1GB ram extra and 16GB extra storage. and extra sim slot. in conclusion dual sim is better.

[Samsung Gear S2] ericshmerick:
Can someone on a mobile share plan please mention what the monthly cost for an S2 connected to your plan is? AT&T's website is incredibly cryptic about this. FAQ says:

What’s the cost to use NumberSync for wearables?

There’s no additional cost beyond that of the wireless rate plans for your wearable device and smartphone. Note that data rates, rather than messaging rates, apply when you use NumberSync to send and receive text messages.

Not sure what that means. Is it free? Is it $10 extra/month? Getting a straight answer seems to be cloaked in ambiguity. Why aren't they just upfront like "putting this cellular capable wearable on your account will cost you an extra $10/month every month."

EDIT: nevermind, I see it now. $10/month. Nah, not worth paying $240 over 2 years to me. I thought with the numbersync feature, it would have been free since it re-uses your existing number (i.e. no need to occupy a new second number). Oh well.
[Samsung Gear S2] lyall29:
I called At&t about this. The lady told me that with the 15gb mobile share plan that I have now, the watch's line will cost $15 a month. I told her that I'm planning on going to a 2gb a month plan next billing cycle and she said that the price for the watch will go up to $20 a month. That is ridiculous. Plus the 3g watch is over a 1/2" thick. I'll just get the Bluetooth only version.
[Samsung Gear S2] Zagzagel:
I have the Gear S2 3G on AT&T, and I had the LG Watch Urbane 2 before that. The watch plan costs $10/month, but after the administrative and government fees, it's $15.18/month. It's very similar in cost to a tablet plan.

Honestly, I don't use the standalone features of the watch very much, so I'm thinking of canceling the plan. I bought the watch off-contract for $299, and I think it is great. However, it is rarely unpaired from my phone via Bluetooth, so the extra 3G plan just seems like a waste. I would probably use the standalone features more often if Samsung allowed the watch to be paired to a tablet. I have a Samsung Tab S2 with voice capability, so it would be nice to dump the phone and just use my tablet and watch all the time.
[Samsung Gear S2] Cdub1976:
If you can get out of contract tmobile advertises it for five more dollars a month.
[Samsung Gear S2] NinjaMom:
Tmobile has it for $5 a month if you have their service for their phones. I am with Sprint so I pay Tmobie $15 a month for my gear s2's plan.
[Samsung Gear S2] gerstyd:
wow, even my verizon plan, who is always stupid expensive was only 5 bucks more a month.
[Samsung Gear S2] NinjaMom:
Its just because I don't have anything with tmobile but the watch. I'm not worried about it.
[Samsung Gear S2] fluidj:
Can you mix carriers? What I mean is....will the number forwarding features and auto switching to 3g mode work if you use say a Verizon Phone with a T Mobile Gear S2?

hi friend, i want to flash stock rom for samsung galaxy GT-I9152, but i do not know which official stock rom is better for me, because my country official stock do not have, Please tell me which country better ?

thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdb1981:
What I did:

Was coming from an old version of OptimalROM, that I'd somehow installed to the main slot in safestrap, but that was a really long time ago. I believe it was an N12 based ROM, as I have an old G900vN12 firmware file in the same folder from when I did it originally.

I downloaded the Deodexed newest Optimal ROM, did a full safestrap backup to SD, and then followed the directions (coming from KitKat) exactly to Odin flash the new ROM. It appeared to work, but I got stuck at S5 logo screen forever.

So, tried again. Same result. Tried with battery pulled, same result.

So I shifted to the directions to restore to stock via Odin, and I can flash Kernels and FW's fine, PIT files appear to work, but every time I get to flashing a ROM, it hangs on the system.img.ext4 install forever. I've left it for hours, it's truly locking, always right there.

I initially tried NCG version, which I think was a mistake, but I didn't know the difference at first and just went with the oldest one. I then tried N12, and still got the same result. I can flash (via Odin) Kernels, Modems, FW's, just not ROMs. Every time, it hangs on system.img.ext4.

I connected via ADB but all I can do is verify the device is connected, if I try to sideload or push anything it just gives me "error: closed"

So I'm lost now. I can boot into download mode and recovery (recovery only if I flash a firmware, if I've tried to flash a ROM it fails.) In recovery mode it tells me that "E: failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)" and I believe that's at the core of the issue here. I've tried to issue commands via ADB to remount, but I get the same error.

I've read some places that people have success loading the correct FW or ROM with the appropriate PIT file in Odin, but I've tried that like 20 times and it doesn't work. I think I just need to find the correct Kernel/FW/ROM to flash, but I have no idea what to try next.

Edit - I also tried booting into Maintenance menu and wiping everything (data/cache) in there before a fresh attempt to install the retail N12 and Oc4 Kernels and ROMs, same issue.

I feel like I've borked the partitions and the PIT file isn't fixing them, and that's my main problem, but I honestly don't know enough to know.

Can anyone suggest anything? I'd be happy to just go back to stock, even - I need a functioning phone. Thanks!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MuminMohamed:
extract the pit file with winrar from the tar file, tick repartition and flash the tar file
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdb1981:
Wait, which tar file specifically do I extract it from? I don't see it in any of the main tars or in firmwares either. I'm using 7zip, not winrar, if that matters, but I don't see why it would.

Edit - Nevermind, I found it in the Stock ROM file, I wasn't using that one because it said "Mostly for Dev Edition" but will try it now and report back, thank you.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdb1981:
Well, that didn't really make progress. I did the following:

Tried to flash the ROM with the pit file and the box checked, locked up

reflashed the N12 Kernel/bootloader

Rebooted into maintenance, cleared data and cache, factory reset, rebooted into Odin

tried to flash the stock rom with pit, failed

reflashed the N12 Kernel/bootloader again

Rebooted into maintenance, cleared data and cache, factory reset, rebooted into Odin again

tried to flash the stock FW only, with pit, locks on Modem. (tried with and without battery)

That's it so far. Is it possible installing the stuff for the new deodexed OptimalROM might have moved me past being compatible with N12 stuff in general, even though it ultimately failed? If so, which version on this page should I be trying to restore? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdb1981:
Well, I'm all out of ideas, so unless anyone else can suggest something, I'm going to reactivate my old Galaxy Nexus and pray I have enough in my IT budget to buy myself a 6P this week.

If anyone can tell me a good basic strategy to get a bricked S5 back from the dead, let me know. I can still flash Kernels, and boot into Odin mode and Maintenance. No clue what else to do, I've tried everything I can at this point.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdb1981:
Would still like to know if there's an answer here, I got a 6P but I'd like to use this as a remote or something maybe, instead of a paperweight. Surely there's SOME way to revive it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrkruse:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] evanft:
I recently unlocked my bootloader using sunshine and installed TWRP. After rebooting into recovery, I immediately made a backup of my phone. When I plug my phone in, I can see the TWRP folder, but it shows as empty. None of my file explorers can see anything, either. TWRP, however, is able to see it when I go into the file manager. I can't get ADB to see the device when hooked up to my computer while in TWRP. MTP also doesn't work. Chmod 755 and 777 doesn't do anything. I was able to initially copy the TWRP folder into the downloads folder in the TWRP file manager, but now it just hangs there if I try to move it again.

How do I get access to my backup?

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Florestan2:
TWRP and NAND Backups

I had the same question, and found the previous thread too. So what's the difference between these 2 locations?

/data/media/0/TWRP

and

/sdcard/TWRP

From my point of view, they are duplicates - same data in both folders, just duplicated into separate partitions. If this is true, then my 7.5 GB NAND backup, is really taking up 15GB of memory. Can that be true? I'm doubting it, but you never know.

I started to dive into this, because I was also wondering if NAND backups made copies of my media or not (photos, music, etc). After digging into it a bit, it looks like it does NOT make a backup of anything in the root folder "/data/media" in order to prevent it from non-stop backing up in a loop (you can't back up the location your backing up to, at the same time). This is also noted on github: https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/276 Logically, this would make sense since I currently have 25 GB of data in my /sdcard/ location. That's one helluva compression if you were able to get this down to 7.5GB! So I'm guessing this isn't included, which is also why I'm guessing that these are really the same. /sdcard/ must be a shortcut to the /data/media/0/ location, that's my best understanding.

So my original question still stands. What's the reason for these 2 locations, and is there a difference?

This also brings up the next question, what's the best way to make an all-encompassing backup? NAND + Titanium Backup + copy all the contents of your /sdcard/ over to your computer (or OTG drive)?

:confused:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] TheSt33v:
The way I understand it, and I might be wrong, is that before Android 4.0 (or maybe 5.0), the partition containing user data was called /sdcard and apps were stored in a separate partition. The partition where apps went was significantly smaller, which could result in people running out of space for apps while still having a ton of free user data. To remedy this, the newer version of android places apps and user data in the same partition (called media). The /sdcard that you see is a symlink (shortcut) to this new partition, and is included so that older apps that were designed to expect the /sdcard partition to be there will still work.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RVM:
There is a file contained on my TMobile Wing I want to delete. Total Commander has it listed as In ROM under properties. It is t-zones.lnk. I wanna get it out of the system tray.

For that matter, how do I edit the system tray icons? I've been ALL through the registry. No luck at all. I don't want to totally disable it, but I don't want 237429489834 icons in it either.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Modifying individual tray icons isn't really something a third party app can do, as they are inserted by the parent app, and maintained by the OS. The OS could possibly be tricked to allow you to remove them, but it'd be a little messy. It's not normally just a case of run a file to remove tray icons from App A, B and G.

For replacing some rom files, just try renaming it, to eg, t-zones.orig.

If that doesn't work, find what .exe file the t-zones.lnk file points to (eg open it in notepad), and try replacing that file.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RVM:
I didn't try renaming it. I'll give that a try, thanks!

[Android General] chibichuba:
I've been rooted for a while without any issues, until recently I'm not sure what happened but suddenly TWRP won't show the /mnt folder or be able to access anything on my SD Card, I've tried mounting and selecting the SD Card in TWRP settings but it displays 0MB and won't select it. All I see is my Internal Storage files, which means I can't flash anything easily. I don't know when it happened but it was working about a week ago. I formatted my SD Card as ext4 in TWRP itself and also tried NTFS on Windows.

NOTE: I can view the SD Card in Solid Explorer and on my computer, TWRP is the only one that can't mount/read any SD Card files or even recognize it.

Is there any way I can work around this without formatting the SD Card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Robert417919:
Starting Friday my phones been running slowish, keep getting worse and worse. I would reset, take the battery out hold down the power button, turn it back on. It would only briefly fix the issue.

So long story short here is the problem. When ever any of the following happens, I go to play music, to record a video, watch a video (via app, browser or player), or the screen times out.

If I do a video or music the app freezes, the screen will go black an sometimes never cuts back on. If it does its very slow and not responsive. If the screen times out, I can get back in but with no sound.

I have flashed back to stock (odin to NB1) hoping this will fix the issue, but didn't, re-flash a NB1 stock Kernal, still didn't fix the issue (actually made it worse, no sound never).

Prior to all this happening, I was running a STOCK rooted rom. The only thing that changed was the SMS app I was using went from 14 free trail to ad supported. I really hate to think the app had anything to do with it. I was not running any ad blocker.

So any ideas? I believe its goner be a loss. Is there an app I can get to test hardware, see if there is a problem there?

UPDATE: I ended up taking it to Best Buy and they used their software to re-image the phone. They did it to 5.0.1., and then the screen rotate didn't work. Odin to stock and trying this again.

[Samsung Gear S2] Cdub1976:
Bought my Gear S2 after reading Samsung's requirements that it could sync to any Android device running 4.4+ and 1.5gb of RAM only to find out I couldn't under CM. I searched and searched for a fix and nothing worked. I went out on a limb and tried something, editing the build.prop and it worked. The only consequence to this is that the IR blaster is now inoperable and once you update to a new nightly you must edit the build.prop once again which would cause you to save and reboot. I'd rather do that than return my S2 :) Note this guide is for CM12.1 but the process is the same under CM13.

1. Install the Gear Manager from the Play Store. Naturally you'll receive the dreaded message saying your operating system is blah blah blah.

2. Go into settings/Security and enable the install from unknown sources.

3. Navigate to your build.prop using whatever file manager you choose. I use ES. Ensure you're navigating under root rights.

4. Edit any entry that says Samsung and edit to htc all lowercase.

5. Save and reboot.

6. Once you reboot open your Gear Manager. You'll be prompted to install a couple of apps but you'll be unable to install from the Play Store because you'll get an error that your device is not compatible.

7. First one should be the gear plugin that can be found here: https://apkpure.com/gear-plugin/com.samsung.android.gearoplugin

8. Install and you'll be prompted to install a second apk and that can be found here: https://apkpure.com/samsung-accessory-service/com.samsung.accessory

9. Your device should now go through the process of installing apps from your Gear Manager.

10. As stated above anytime you update to a new nightly you must redo step number 3,4 and 5. The apps will still be installed so none of the other steps are needed.

11. Enjoy :)
