[Q] A few questions about rooting my Edge - Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I have owned the T-Mobile Edge for about a month now. So far I am loving the device, but coming from a Blackberry there are a few minor things that bug me. I have found workarounds by installing third party apps but would like to know if I root my device if it is possible to do without these workarounds. Please note these are all my personal preferences.
1. On whatsapp save media to my SD card instead of phone memory.
2. When sending a text message press enter to send instead of the send button.
3. I had one more issue with the phone dialer but tospace2006 has offered a suggestion about that already.
Thank you for any responses.

I know there's an app that requires root where you can change default save locations for things, I'll try to find that. And I believe there's a setting in the messaging app that allows you to press enter to send. At least there used to be in older Samsung phones.

I deleted the linkify stuff with root explorer and now youtube runs as an app and phone number links bring up the dialer. If you don't want to pay for RE, try Estrong File Manager, but it's root access is a bit tricky to figure out...you need to go into the settings to enable each time, I found.
thanks i was able to edit and delete the htc linkify file using the app u sugested... but im still not able to get the PHONE NUMBER ACTION screen when i click a number in a app... this is very frustrating and i dont understand y only nexus one is able to popup that screen...

I can't help you fix the issue. But as for your last question... HTC was forced to remove it due to Apple patent litigation.

I am wondering the same thing. There are obviously more threads related to HTClinkifydispatcher, and the build.prop changes that are supposed to return functionality that HTC removed to comply with Apple patent requirements. However, this is what I have found. I am able to click links, Youtube links, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses in emails, texts, etc. from my bone stock Evo LTE. However, these links will only launch in the default application selected in the HTC App Association Settings menu. After rooting and making changes to build.prop (using Build Prop Editor eliminates issues with multiple entries of the same property), I am able to get selection option menus for certain linkable items. For example, Youtube links give options for browsers, or Youtube app. Email addresses, let me choose to send email using any of the email accounts I have set-up. HTML links let me choose between stock browser or Chrome. And addreses let me select to open in browsers or Google Maps. However, clicking on a phone number simply launches the phone dialer (just like stock), and does not give me the option to send a text message. Also, email addresses and phone numbers do not give an option to add a contact.
I have discovered that options are only provided if there are options that can be selected in the app associations menu. For example, the options I have in the app associations menu match exactly with the options I am presented when clicking linkable data as per above. However, if the app associations menu does not have options (in my menu the only association I can make to phone numbers is to the phone dialer) then the default (only) option will be launched when that data is selected. Does anyone else have send SMS or MMS text message as an option for phone numbers in the app association menu, or when clicking phone numbers in text after making the build.prop changes?
I think these workarounds are close, but IMHO we still do not have the true functionality that was removed due to the apple patent.

Viber on HTC chacha

Viber is agreat app, and it works fine on the htc chacha. but there is one problem. everything except the messaging part of the app is in portrait mode... so I should rotate the phone sideways, to use it... does anyone know how to fix this? (yes, landscape mode is enabled in the viber options)
Hi,
This is a member of the Viber R&D Team!
We haven't thoroughly tested Viber on this specific device yet. You can check out our list of officially supported devices at: http://bit.ly/rqbZEw
The new version 2.2 is out on the Play store. You can upgrade to this version , it might be more stable on your device.
If you have any question about Viber - please feel free to ask.
Viber Team
the new viber update works prefect on chacha
@ts3010 -
We're glad to hear it works fine, thank you for the report
@archacha -
We are aware of this issue, and we hope to implement Landscape mode in the other screens as well in future versions, but unfortunately we are not yet sure when exactly it would be ready.
We will keep you posted with news and updates, and we apologize for the temporary inconvenience.
Hello,
I have a HTC ChaCha and was trying to activate Viber on, but have the following issue:
- I installed Viber v 2.2.1;
- Got my SMS with the activation code:
- But unfortunately the ChaCha keyboard is not properly working with Viber - when pressed buttons type different symbols than present on them and I actually can find all digits except 1. Here is the problem - the activation code I receive is always one and the same and it starts with 11**, but with my HtC ChaCha I can not type 1 and therefore I can not activate Viber.

We are not aware of such a problem with ChaCha (that it types symbols and mixed letters instead of numbers).
Are you sure the cause to this issue is not a 3rd-party app or ROM that caused a change in keyboard configuration?
We invite you to contact our support team and give the details of the problem - they will try to assist you further. Here's the link:

Are you using a custom ROM by any chance? If so, do you have the proper keypad files for your region/carrier?
Hey guys,
I have a problem with Viber that I hope someone can help me solve. Here it is: I updated Viber a few days ago and for some reason, when I want to type my phone number in order to get an access code, my keyboard does not show me number 1. All the numbers are mixed, but all are present instead of 1 and I cannot setup the application and start using it. This bothers me very much now, because it worked perfectly before. I tried to solve it by trying to use the onscreen keyboard, but it seems like I don't have that at all in my phone...... is there anyone who knows how I can solve this?
I also tried reinstalling the app several times, but it is always the same thing... :/
Thanks in advance!

Hi. Try downloading 'Smart Rotator' and force it to portrait orientation. That way you will know if it works.
There are many apps that doesn't support portrait (or landscape) orientation, and with Smart Rotator you can force them. But there is no guarantee of they properly fit the screen.

I got the same issue even thought I tried the latest Viber. Here is my solution: type the code in another place, copy it then paste into the code-entering area --> :laugh: activated!
1-When you get the activating code, write it down on a piece of paper.
2- Open any text typing apps or use the default of HTC: your 'Messages': type the code --> press on the code so that a option box appear, select 'select all', then choose 'copy'. Close the 'Messages'
3- Open your Viber, then press on the code-entering area, the option box appear --> choose paste.
4- The rest is your enjoyment.

Same issue here. Noticed this only happens on ChaCha or physical QWERTY smartphones as the numeric keypads are not placed in the same position for every maker model. (Example: ChaCha numeric keypad is on the left, Galaxy Chat has them slightly to the center) I'm thinking this is what is causing the issue with every similar app. Its not broken, the app works perfectly fine. Press the keys until you find the right numbers for your code and then your phone number.
Used to have Whatsapp... damn, Viber is so much better. Thanks for the great app guys.
Just press the Fn button before you press the number you want to type. For example if you want to type 1234, press Fn 1 Fn 2 Fn 3 Fn 4. It works when you have to type in your phone number and the activation code.
Cheers!
Hi.. My Viber version 3.1.0.1103. It never worked and couldn't be updated. I use link2sd and also tried the native move2sd but still not working and always get "Sorry! The application Viber (process com.viber.voip) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.". My other xperia x10, my win xp sp3 Laptop and desktop PCs are running Viber fine but the chacha is not? I have no access to google play so should I download Viber and install it manually? OR any other suggestion?

What OS is your phone?
If you can't download Viber for Android from Google Play, you may download it at: http://viber.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/100/16/cant-download-from-android-market
Thanks "Viber member" for your caring and thanks for the link. My OS is Android 2.3.5 Rom Hexgore's Stock Plus v1.4 which is the stock rom I got it from XDA. It's rooted and few bloatware were taken off due to the small internal memory. That's why we need a powerful app for moving apps to sd like link2sd. Maybe the bug is from link2sd because the system, I guess, thinks that the app is installed on internal memory while link2sd takes over and transfers it to the external memory! But Viber and link2 work together well on my other older & slower phone!!

Thank you for the report of the problem.
We would appreciate if you could take a minute and report the details to our support team using this direct link: http://bit.ly/ukGVJ0 (when you submit the ticket, please make sure to add the URL of our conversation). With this information, our development team will hopefully be able to find the source of the problem, and ultimately resolve it.
Thanks in advance
People keep saying that Viber data transfer is unencrypted which means it's easy to be revealed over the internet!! Is it true??

[APP][2.2+] Where R U? - Location via SMS

Hi guys,
So I decided to create an app based on a simple idea my fiance gave me, and thought I'd come to you guys for some feedback.
In a nutshell, it's an app that will respond to an SMS trigger with the users current location.
1. Someone SMSs you "Where R U?"
2. Your phone works out its location to the closest 100m (if possible)
3. The app generates a google maps link
4. The app SMSs it back
That's the core of the app, but I've also created a "premium" version that has some other features such as a customisable sms trigger, geotagging, blacklist/whitelist options among others
What I'm hoping to get is a bit of feedback on my app and perhaps the way I'm going about a paid version of it. I'm very open to suggestions and I'm happy to provide the apk to the full version for those who want to try it.
Here's the link
Cheers!
*reserved*
Very cool. Thank you for developing

Hi, I was wondering if you can please provide information about how to use the black list/white list thing in free version, because I only want to send replies only one person so if I enable white list and add that specific contact to the back list /whitelist list, then will it work or not. I need an answer for this from you and asked from you to add details about this list configuration information on the Google play

Hi chorauoc,
Simply set the blacklist type to "whitelist", then add the contact you want to the list. The app will then ignore requests from anyone else Sorry for the ambiguous use of "blacklist", but I didn't really know what else to call it I'll update the app description to make it a little easier to understand.
Thanks for the feedback!

I love this! Its a simple way for me to know where my 8 year old daughter is and make sure she is where she should be if out at a friends playing! I can see this app will become invaluae to me as my daughter gets older and more adventurous in life. Thanks for this.
One suggestion for paid version feature is hide app draw icon if at all possible? As this would stop it being messed with by said daughter who by the way knows I keep tabs on her but accepts and understands why I do so, as my mother used to say 'Only privacy any child should have is in the bathroom!' But just because she knows does not mean she won't mess

Hi mate,
Thanks for the feedback! I'll have a look at your request and see if I can get it in over the next few days
Let me know if you think of anything else.
I bought the paid app tried it out with my girlfriend but I couldn't get it to work. I used the default phrase and she sent me two messages asking "where are you?" But nothing happened. I have a note 2 on sprint, and when I clicked on last location it crashed. Nice idea though.

Hi there,
I'd be pretty keen to send you a bit of a debug version of the app to get some more info on why this is happening. I'm sure there are hundreds of possible combinations of settings and the like I missed while testing Would you be happy to install and test an apk if I sent it to you??
Can you make an improvement
Hi,
I really like this app and i would like to make a suggestion and i will be really happy if you can implement it on your app,
Ie
Can you implement an emergencies response to send the contact in the white-list, means if you could be able to identify the emergencies like not answering , sim change, not switch on for long time, etc.
If i further explain this,
Suppose I am not answering phone calls for log time period or my phone is suddenly switch off and not switch on for longer time (may be day or 3 days) , then we can assume that i may in a trouble so i would be happy to send my location via sms to my white-list contact, but at that time i may not be able to do it manually so if you can implement a way to auto response to contact that would be really nice. Also let say someone stolen my phone and tried to replace the sim card of it, so at that time you can implement a auto response massage by saying your current location as well as the new sim number (In order to do this you may have to record current sim details in a database and check periodically when a new sim change occurs ).Also if you can add a method to add pre-define locations, means if i or my contact went to home then i might be able to save my current location as home or if i or my other contact went to someplace (let say office) that we commonly goes we should be able to add it into a list, so when in the next time when my contact or i went to that places we should received sms by saying that we are in that place now (Simply means by doing this we can be sure that the person i was wondering to locate arrives safely home or any other pre-define places even i forget to send location massage via sms).
So if you can implement such a auto response method then this app will be a great one. Hope you will do this
I wil add ideas for make this app better in future :fingers-crossed:

So I've finally managed to implement your request (It took me a little longer than I planned ) You should get the update in a few hours. If you want to bring the icon back, install the Unhider and toggle it there Let me know how it works out for you.

I really like your idea with the emergency contacts, but I think it's a little out of scope for this app. Could be a good idea for my next app though
I like your 2nd idea too, but that would require constant location monitoring which can be very taxing on the phones battery. I like the idea of being able to save locations though, so the app could respond "I am currently at home" or some such You have plenty of good ideas!!
found small bug
Hi,
First of all thank you for your attention of my comments, anyway I found a small bug in this app, that is if we close this app using a task killer or clean master apps or anything have the capability of stop the service then this app not restart properly and we have to manually start the app again to get work, so can you fixed this bug, because as far as I believe the app should be in active status of anytime, hope you will consider about it, finally are you going to implement the location savings things in your app

[WIP][FREE][ROOT]WhatsGear. Whatsapp from your wrist.

Hey xda!
Since there seems it isn't going to be released a gear-compatible Whatsapp app by official sources I started my way into developing applications for wearable devices with my own client.
Its buggy and not reliable as my knowledge is pretty limited. But it does its job most of the time. I'm trying to figure out how to make it work better, so with time and luck, It will improve.
CURRENTLY WORKING FEATURES:
View the list of chats, with their latest messages and hours.
Open chats, showing up to the last 50 messages (sent or received) and their hours.
View contact profiles from where you can check his/her status and phone number.
Reply to chats from the watch! (Sometimes messages will not be sent until Whatsapp is opened in phone, specially if sending lot of messages in a short period of time. Some other times, whatsapp remains opened in the device after sending it.)
View profile pictures.
View received images
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET (but scheduled/planned/desired for next updates):
Push notifications on watch for new messages, allowing you to directly open the chat in the watch (Replacement for default gear notification.) [Needs some work, but will come soon].
View received images in higher res. View videos/audio.
Last seen.
Group chats.
Start a new chat.
View / edit your own profile
Call and send SMS from contact profile ( there are buttons for it , but do nothing ).
Voice reply
Send images / videos
REQUIREMENTS:
Rooted phone (Android 4.4 KitKat or higher).

Whatsapp installed (Obviously... ) and working on your phone.
Notification access for WhatsGear must be enabled on phone settings.
Root and sqlite3 are required in order to access Whatsapp's sqlite databases.
I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.
If not clear, I have nothing to do with Whatsapp. This is a personal project for my use that I wanted to share with whoever wants to use it too.
I cannot be held responsible for any damage related to hardware, software or data loss which the end user might cause while attempting any procedures, methods or advices found on this thread.
Reviews, bug reports and ideas are appreciated.
Hope you like it

Hi friend... Did everything, but don't know how your app works... I can't see it installed on my smart watch... It just install on the phone?
Upsss... sorry, I uploaded a wrong apk. This one should be installing the gear side app.
Could you check it please?
Thanks.

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

Does the watch have to be rooted? Because it doesn't work with my note 3... I cannot install the apk.

Well... no idea whats going on.
Can you try sideloading the watch app directly from your pc and tell me if it gets installed or the command output if it fails?
PS: I just installed it on a note 3 paired with a gear 2 neo using Samsung's Remote Test Lab without problems.
Thank you! I'll try later.
But where can I find the Samsung remote test Lab?

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/

Can't create new contacts anymore

Hello,
On my Gflex 2, when I want to add a contact by clicking the "+" button at the top right, the dedicated application directly closes. Otherwise, if I do it the same way in the messaging app it also closes directly. Finally, I can not add any contact, but I can still modify them.
I've been done the usual procedure for troubleshooting especially resetting.
Can you help me please ?

I have the same issue. I tryed to reset / hard reset the phone without success.
Meantime to still be able to use my phone, I installed this app from Play store: add.contact
It's really boring... Thanks for the app
I sent a mail to LG Support and they tell me that I've to give my device to repair. However, it's better if your device is still over garantee.
I just got exactly the same problems a few days ago O_O it seems to be some kind of update or whatever that caused this problem, hope it will be resolved fast
