Q&A vs. General forums

Hi All (especially mods).
I find i really hard to separate the topics that belong in Android General and Android QA forums. The first sticky in the General says that you should not post questions in that forum. How the h...l are we suppose to discuss issues and general topics without posting questions? Is the General forum meant to bee a pure information channel where wise people can share their wisdom, but not bee debated or questioned?
I think that the segmentation caused by all this QA forums (all over XDA) just makes it harder for people to find information, not easier. And that will again lead to more flaming of people that don't use search, or try to search but don't find useful information.
It seems to me that the mods spends a lot of time moving threads and "shouting" about the QA forums. Well, has it strike the mods that the reason for all this "miss posting" is in fact the we (at leas I) find it hard to decide which forum to post in?
Most of the top notch tech experts does not hang around in the QA forum either, so the chance of getting a really qualified answer (an not only a best guess by a senior member) seems pretty low.
And, no. This post is not a question!
Ahh, that felt good

Really... what?
Sooo first thing is first, you're saying that you want to discuss issues and topics in question threads? Okie.... well last i checked you can post anything in a thread, as long as it follows the constraints of the forum. It seems though what you're trying to say is that the amount of support/replies is lower in the Q&A than the general hence, why you're saying disscussion is limited in the Q&A. That is understandable, and frankly, it is a fact, however I think most general issues are already sorted out and can be found with a search, no need to question people again for a solution.
I don't think it's all that hard to find information since "search" is my best friend. Need help with a specific build, search that thread, need help with android overall search the forum/s. A little time doesn't kill and helps make you independent atleast.
If it's a question it goes into the Q&A forum, hence Q&A. If it's a discussion/debate/just about android but not a question, then it's goes into the general discussion, easy as that.

I saw couple question marks (?) in your post, but then you said your post is not a question.
Let make it simple, Q&A forum the thread tittle must end with question mark (?), and the other should end without one.

Why even bother? Don't post in a thread just to get posts, and don't post in threads unrelated to your issue. There really is no point.

signal broke
sorry,i have a question:
while using android os loaded from SD card on HTC Touch Pro2,every time when I push the lock key,my cell phone signal broke ,what is the problem??

um i vote this gets closed . pointless thread , simply follow XDA Rules ..

Trying to ask question
Not sure if Im doing this right. Im a never & wanted to ask a question in reference to the thread about downloading beats. Wanted to know if just downloading & extracting the file would give me access to beats? Thanks.

You mean the one on the portal right? Where are the files? All I see is that the thread and all related files have been removed

[GUIDE] Huawei IDEOS X3 (U8510) | Root | CWM | CyanogenMod 7.2

This thread is about the Huawei IDEOS X3 (U8510) mobile phone.
Some apparent facts:
We need a dedicated X3 forum or at least a generic Huawei forum where all the numerous Huawei owners can get together.
Huawei U8650 ROM's are compatible with the X3's with some minor configuration differences. The U8650 port of CM7 is claimed to work well with the X3 and is faster than the stock ROM.
Much of X3 development activity have been on German and Spanish forums. Maybe because the English-speaking world got their X3's much later than continental Europe?
XDA sources:
Long X3 Q&A thread
External sources:
Android Hilfe X3 Forum (German)
Modaco Wiki X3 ROM's (though seems outdated)
HTC Mania U8650 Forum (Spanish)
Rooting Instructions
This was taken from lowskill's Automatic Root Enabler thread in Android Hilfe forums. Many thanks to him for this.
The Automatic Root Enabler for the X3 v1.0 should install:
ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.5
Superuser v3.0.6
Su binary v3.0.3
Install BusyBox from the Market through one of the installers.
Step by step
Download the Automatic Root Enabler for the X3. For more recent versions I suggest checking his thread and the forum it's in as I may not be able to update this thread all the time.
Install the latest USB drivers for the X3. Search for the latest version of "HUAWEI Android Phones USB Driver" from the Huawei Downloads site.
Turn on USB Debugging from Settings -> Application -> Development on the X3.
Connect the X3 to your PC via microUSB.
Run the Automatic Root Enabler and it should start rooting your phone automatically.
It should finish off with something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There ya go! Your X3 should be happily rooted with CWM installed

CyanogenMod 7.2 (Unofficial)
There are a few things you have to know before installing CyanogenMod:
There is no official CM port for the X3.
This CM port came from the developers in the Spanish forum HTC Mania. It was originally built for the Huawei U8650 phone which, if you've read the first post in this thread, have got near identical ROM's to the X3. The guys from the German forum Android Hilfe have taken this port, tweaked and modified it to suit the X3. I don't have a comprehensive list of U8650 and X3 differences but suffice it to say the Android Hilfe folks are happy with the stability of this particular version.
As you can see it took me a while to crawl through Spanish and German pages, but with the help of Google Chrome's automatic translation I was able to make of what was going on. I will occasionally try and update this thread based on updates from the said external forums but I'd like to apologise in advance that I will probably not be able to do this quick enough after new releases come out.
External sources:
Original U8650 ROM from HTC Mania (Spanish)
Modified U8650 ROM for X3 from Android Hilfe (German)
CM7.2 Installation Instructions
The version in this tutorial is cyanogen_u8650-benru89-neu-samia99-2-mit-Wallpaper. the "Wallpaper" bit only means that this is the version with no wallpapers included. It's a lightweight version and contains no bloat.
Note: Please backup your stock ROM with CWM Recovery before installing CyanogenMod. I haven't found an updated version of the stock ROM elsewhere. Mine came with 2.3.4 (Vodafone branded) but the flashable ROM's I could find on the web were all 2.3.3 generic.
Make sure you root your phone as per the instructions in the previous post. You will need to use CWM Recovery.
Download samia99's cyanogen_u8650-benru89-neu-samia99-2-mit-Wallpaper.zip ROM and save it in the X3's SD card.
Reboot your phone into recovery. I use the Quick Boot app from the Market to do this.
Do a factory wipe, cache wipe and Dalvik cache wipe (from Advanced menu).
Select Install zip from SD card and select the ZIP file you've just copied.
Reboot after installation has completed.
For CyanogenMod configuration questions please see CM docs or CM-specific threads.
That's it! Enjoy!

good job!!! but is this version of cyan sluggish like the resT?

Sluggish in comparison to the X3 stock or other CM versions?
I find this version more responsive than the X3 stock (which lagged quite a bit for me) but got no point of comparison with other CM versions/builds. Only thing I noticed is this CM build seems to eat more battery than my rooted stock. On both I had the same SetCPU and JuiceDefender settings.

Quick question: Rooting will delete my data?
Root removes the SIM LOCK?

Rooting will not wipe your data, and will not remove your SIM lock. You will need to ask your carrier for an unlock code.

Mine just gets stuck @ waiting for device after fastboot.
EDITED: Finally made it. using windows 7.. With XP I got stuck

Windows XP Driver Issue in Fastboot Mode
It's a driver issue. The entry for the bootloader interface in Windows XP is missing in the official Huawei USB driver package.
I've made a driver installer, which is based on the current Google USB driver. I only added the missing interface entries. It's tested and working in Windows 7 (64bit & 32bit) and Windows XP. Unfortunately I can't post the download link -.-

Thanks for the great work gathering useful info and make them in English.
I bought my U8510 in Taiwan and this CM7.2 mostly works with it, except the back camera freezes and FC after a few seconds or as soon as I take a photo.
The front camera is working perfectly though.
Other then that everything seems OK.
The bad thing is I didn't make a original ROM backup and I don't know to restore through the downloaded update.app file, as CM7 doesn't have that "upgrade from SD" option in settings.
Any insight is appreciated.

Managed to flash back to stock ROM by pressing Vol+ Vol- and Power Button with the update.app copied to SD card (/dload/)
Also I just found the latest official 2.3.5 ROM if anyone's interested:
(oops, unable to post link as I am a new comer, it's from huawei's office site).

Found it incorrectly sets the MAC address for the wifi device...
or its just different from the stock rom i had, had to reset the mac filter on my wifi to accept the new rom

Help
Can anyone upload the rom to MF since it will take me ages to download from rapidshare.. thank you.. btw..has anyone try the versions of this rom (there are 4 version on android-hilfe[dot]de..

Fantastic....just installed it with your instructions....no problem at all.
It's different language...how to change it???
How do I get google market on board now?
Thanks once again.
---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 PM ----------
Never mind.....market is already there. Just changed the language and its working flawlessly.

Thanks so much for this post man. I'm looking to buy an X3 to use as a spare mobile and it looks like it has awesome bang for buck ($89 here in Australia).

i´ve a Huwaei X3(U8510) and i put this ROM,works very nice! But i can´t send or recive MMS,i´m from Portugal and i Have Vodafone network.Can someone help me please...

i read this rom had problems with mms. Have you tried apnportugal

The rom that you're using has a different apn setting.
If you can find someone on your network using the same phone you can ask them to backup their apn settings and then restore the apn backup to your phone. There are many apn settings backup programs in the Market. If you cannot find the same phone on the same network then you can try apn settings from another android phone on the same network. But it has to be the same network.
If you know the mmsc that your provider (vodaphone in this case) uses then you can go into apn settings and edit it yourself. I'm sorry this part is going to be a bit jumbled since I do not have a x3 and cannot test if it works... but it should work. Open "voice dialing" or something similar and say "Open APN". It will open the settings you might have to enter your MSL to get into edit mode then change the mmsc portion. Once changed try sending a picture message.
For example my rom is for Sprint so my mmsc was
mms.sprintpcs.com
I had to change it to
mm.myboostmoblie.com
Hopefully this information gets you looking in the right direction. Good luck.

If you replace the ROM with CM will the phone still be locked to Vodafone?
Losing the warranty of course

Hi Guys,
Trying to download the " cyanogen_u8650-benru89-neu-samia99-2-mit-Wallpaper.zip " but it's not available from the link on page one.
Can someone provide another download of this Rom, please?
Thanks

[Q] Android after recovery and Google Navigation issues

Hi guys,
I hope you and your smartphones are doing well.
I use CM. I have done a backup using ClockworkMod 6.0.5.1
Initially I have messed up my phone by attempting to encrypt it so I have done a complete recovery to a non CM system then again to the CM backup I have taken few months back.
No CM firmware upgrades have been done.
Since the recovery my phone works without problems except Google Navigation.
The arrow stays always pointing to one direction and it jumps after every ~20sec to weird locations somewhere around the route, but it is completely inaccurate - basically useless.
Location settings are set to High accuracy.
Before the recovery it was running damn well, no issues whatsoever.
Have you come across a similar problem?
Do I need to completely remove Google apps and redo it. I think I have already re-installed Google Maps and Navigation without any improvement.
Please advise.
Many thanks.

Sir,
Please give us more details about your device.
Thanks

Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers from the owners/experts.
Stand by

Anyone?

It looks it is not just the Google Navigation.
I have installed some off-line navigation and it is also useless with the arrow jumping every minute or longer.
I think it is a system wide issue then,

Hi, I know this isn't the right thread, but its the closest I can get to having my question answered.
So basically I have a DROID RAZR HD XT926 rooted, with android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.42 and system version 182.46.10 which is downgraded using instructions from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/root-droid-razr-hd-xt926-183-46-15-t3062040
So what I want to do is unlock my bootloader. I have been trying for a few days and searched many forums but with no success. I didn't find any other method other than using motopocalypse. I have tried using the apk version from my phone and the app says bootloader is unlocked but when I check in fastboot mode it says device is locked and status code 0. When I use the pc method ( I have windows 10) it just shows daemon started successfully... and then u nothing.
If anyone could provide any assistance I would really appreciate it.

If there is, no one has discovered it yet. Most developers have given up and moved on to newer devices, so finding a way to unlock the bootloader is effectively impossible.

Help updating an old XT926
Hi
I have an ex-Verizon XT926, although I am in the UK. When I first got it I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader (and changed some obscure setting so that it would potentially work on GSM in the US). But I never actually updated the ROM or took any OTA. So it is still on Android 4.1.2, 9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US.
Although I'm being offered 9.18.79.en.US OTA, it won't successfully take that (presumably because I've rooted it, or because it doesn't like the version of TWRP I have installed).
I've spent some time googling/searching, but as the version-relevant threads are pretty old now, it all gets a bit confusing.
What I'd like to do is to upgrade to Marshmallow, if a reasonable version exists for this phone. Is it essentially as simple as finding a suitable ROM and installing it from the SD card using ROM Manager? Or via TWRP? Do I need to worry about what version of TWRP I have installed?

You cannot install updates unless full stock
You will need to flash a official (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

latest official rom is Kitkat 4.4.2,
Marshmallow may available in a custom rom like CyanogenMod 13 (cm13)

I wouldn't use Rom Manager, Twrp version does matter, find a rom you would like to try, then ask in the rom ask in the Rom thread which TWRP version works best.
You will most likely need the Kitkat bootloader
I would just flash a official kitkat 4.4.2 (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

are you installing gapps too, if so what version?
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Labs

I used the cyanogenmod app to download cm12 and the Gapps nano package for cm12. Also tried cm11 with and without its corresponding Gapps...just hangs on the duel core logo, cm12 hangs on the blue alien logo? Should I factory reset? Or will I lose my cm downloads and be screwed? Thanks for the assist

Solution to my problem was to wipe internal storage,dalvic cache,system data and cache, the went great I have cm12.1 running smooth all gapps from nano package running well. Thanks for the help, cm12.1 is really nice.

Hello,
Thanks to many threads here I was able to fix my non so well working xt925 and installed a working CM 13, but right now I face a little issue :
Everything works fine (android, apps, ...), but when I restart the phone, instead of following the restart I ask it always goes into fastboot.
I can force reboot recovery, normal, whatever, it goes to fastboot.
I have then to type fastboot continue, or to reset into bootloader to hit the command Normal powerup to start launching android.
I haven't found much info about this as everytime I looked for it, I only got people stucked onto fastboot with broken recovery/os.
I am with a jellybean bootloader.
EDIT : I actually found the solution, get into fastboot mode, and type fastboot oem fb_mode_clear. The device will then restart normally. I guess I hit factory mode at some point in my previous operations. Sorry for the useless question.
Martin

No custom ROMs work?
I have an XT925 with an unlocked bootloader and it was stuck in AP fastboot mode for some time before I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0. RSD Lite still won't flash 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 and just returns:
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I can however flash stock 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 ROMs to my Razr HD using the Razr HD Toolkit (thread here), and flash a modified Canadian 4.4.2 OTA (from here) using RSD Lite.
For some reason though, no custom ROMs work. Many others (such as PACMAN) were hosted on GOO.IM or some other dead site (such as the unofficial Resurrection Remix), so they were impossible to download. I've only tried Dirty Unicorns, MIUI, CM11, CM12.1 and SlimKat, and only Dirty Unicorns could get to the boot animation. All other ROMs don't boot past the Unlocked Bootloader Warning screen (which has now been replaced with a Motorola Dual Core Technology one).
Any ideas?

In Morning when i Turn ON my mobile sometimes sim works. But after 5 or 4 minutes it disappears automatically. Mobile phone is Rooted. I Rooted Phone 6 months ago but this problem came just a month ago.
How can i check that this is problem of hardware or Software?
( Sorry for Bad English)
Here are some Screenshots of my mobile while working sim card in Morning and then it disappearing.
I did Flash firmware after this problem but nothing changed.
Help me I'm very upset. I can't afford another mobile.
That's all .

installing Google play service on EMUI 12

Hi gulls.
I have a huawei P40 Pro. It has recently updated to EMUI 12, and I would like the google service to be installed. However, when I use googlefier for this purpose it installs everything, but when I go to users and accounts/add accounts/google it stays for a little while and then it goes off. I know a method to get these installed without having to downgrade to EMUI 10.0. Any help? Kindest regards.

No.

You could try this, it works on any EMUI, (even 12) but it's kind of annoying to use.

If you need GMS native you have to downgrade.

Hi,
I manage to move from EMUI 12 to EMUI 11 with HSUITE.
Trying to get it down to EMUI 10 to install Google. Looking at firm finder, i'm a little confused.
I know my region is C636R4, but there's a few selections. in Firm Finder V2 there's C636E7R5P1 and C636E8R4P1 - see pic below. What's the difference and does it matter?
In firm finder only, https://professorjtj.github.io/ there's so many selections after putting in ELS-N29 and C636.
What's the difference between V2 and without V2? and all the different firm ware numbers for C636R4?
Regards,
Thanks.

May I know how you decide which OVS and CUST? there's so many other versions.
is it random?
So use hproxy and hsuite to downgrade to 10, ya?

Nothing is random. You have to know exactly what you have to chose based on your experience.

Some things are clearing up. Can you confirm if I'm correct for C636R4
Preload PKG can only be this - ELS-N29-PRELOAD 10.1.0.1(C636R4)
Cust Package: ELS-N29-CUST 10.1.0.8(C636) or ELS-N29-CUST 10.1.0.7(C636), so choose latest one?
Base Package: there's a few. Why pick 10.1.0.134?
from v2, it seems to indicate that the combination works for base package 10.1.0.182 and 10.1.0.158
Apologies if i'm bombarding too many questions.

works perfect. downgraded to v10. will get gms now.

I installed gms on a p40 Pro on emui 12 using Huagu2. The whole process took about 5 minutes to do and is really easy to follow.
On my personal account not everything is working, no or delayed push notifications and obviously no Gpay but I've managed to get all my other important apps working including 2 banking apps and one required push notifications.
If you are looking to use a workspace account I struggled to get my work account signed in and when I did I got play protect errors after just a few hours
Hope this helps you

@Seamie
Tried the same today on a P40 Pro with latest EMUI 12, but i got 2 Problems:
The step with "activate Google Service Assistant" opens up GSA but it only shows an error in chinese and then goes back unlike in the video.
Ignoring that i continued and That MicroG indeed installs a Google account manage and lets me log in but the account is gone as soon as i uninstall.
THEN Google play shows the login button and nothing happens if i press it.
If i repeat and leave MicroG installed pressing the Play login button lets me login but then complains that the account is already installed on this device.
Clueless, can you help me out?
Ender

After my last post I was talking to someone and I now think the reason I was able to get gms working was because I had Googlefier installed on emui10 before upgrading to 12.
I did have the same issue with my account disappearing when trying to get my work account added. I did resolve it but I can't remember how right now. I'll have a think and update you if I can remember

@badmania98
well the video claims to actually only work for Harmony 2.0, so that is yet another story. Some in the YT comments also talk of succeeding with EMUI 12.x but of course we do not know their history of googlifier...
The phone i got surely never was googlified so i guess i wait if @Seamie got an additional idea and if not i start the downgrade path to 10.1.
Ender

I think it's best to listen to @badmania98 and roll back to 10.1 his guides are very helpful and easy to follow

Okay i did exactly that: rolled back, "googlified" and now back on latest 12.
Got some trouble with play protect, solutions i tried seem only to fix it for a short while but right now its working
