Hey im new to this forum but was wondering what i could use to have my phone replace my bus pass. I live in the montreal area and we use the OPUS card. The chip is a MIFARE. I tried several applications to scan the information and my phone doesnt react. Could someone help me with this? I just dont want to have to always pull out my wallet and i always have my phone in my hands anywaysso it would be simpler to use the nfc on it. I know its been used with different types of cards but i was wondering if someone could help me on this.

I've been looking at getting a bluetooth GPS receiver for my Wizard for a while now, but I haven't been able to find anything that I really want to buy. I know there are several other topics on GPS in the forum, but all the solutions suggested seem to be American websites (or at least all priced in dollars) and being from the UK this isn't much help. I've stumbled across a receiver/software bundle on a site, and it's very cheap, but I'm not sure if it will be any good or even if I can use it with my wizard as the card provided is SD. Is it possible to copy the files to the miniSD in the Wizard and still work?
The link is here, and if someone could take a look and let me know if they think it is ok, or if someone's tried it, please let me know!
Thanks,
Myk
P.S. I don't want to know if this receiver/software is any good compared to £300 systems or even what the best GPS combo is, because I'm not interested in spending that kind of money yet. I just wanna know if this will work fairly reliably so I can get a cheap GPS set-up to test how useful I find it before I spend loads on one
I just bought my first GPS unit and it is and it was under a hundred dollars US.....and I feel that it is acurate as can be.....so from what i've read about that unit it seems it will be just fine for you t use for quite awhile....Plus you will be able to use it with any new phone you get...
Software activation...
Ok, so I bought the receiver I mentioned. Since the software comes on an SD card, and the wizard only takes miniSD cards, I copied everything across and the program installed fine. But then when I try to run it, it asks me to insert the original SD card to activate the software.
Does anyone know of a workaround for this? I can use some other software (possibly) with the receiver if I can't get it to work, but it's not as good as the Navman software seems to be.
Hi all
I hope that I am in the right place.
I currently have a MyTouch phone but was in China last week and saw these Galaxy S3 knockoffs and figured I would buy one.
I am now back in the States and the Galaxy works quite well but there are a few things I cannot get to work and was hoping someone could help.
Firstly the data connection from my service provider seems quite slow compared to the MyTouch.
Secondly the GPS does not seem to work. I have tried a few different combinations but no luck. I have enabled and disabled the Google location in the settings to no avail. I have left the phone on for more than 15 minutes trying to get a GPS signal but still no luck.
I know that the phone is a knockoff and did not expect much but it sure does work faster than the MyTouch – apart from the GPS and data.
So my question is –
Is there a way to get it to work? Would it be possible to reload the software on the phone with one from an original Galaxy? I am not sure of the terminology but does that mean I would need to flash the phone or root the phone – if this is the case, how easy is it to do and would it brick my phone?
Where would I get the firmware from to do so?
Any (detailed) help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

As far as i know these SGS3 knockoffs or clones do not have the same hardware as the SGS3 so you can't use custom SGS3 roms.
This forum is of no use to you unfortunately, do a search for your model on Google and you should find some forums that might help you

Will do, thanks
Hi good folks of XDA. i have a request as i know you guys are the business when it comes to all things android. i have an old Samsung galaxy s5 that as a phone is no longer working, there is a fault on the sim card slot somewhere, what i was wondering is, is there anyone on here that can do me a totally stripped back OS for the sole purpose of running my drone flying software??, does not need to have any other access other than GPS and WiFi, and have access to play store, so i dont need it looking for a carrier signal, or anything, essentially making it a stand alone wireless fpv monitor.?
Can this be done?
Hi all I'm not sure where to turn to at all and I'm sure if this firmware can be created and used successfully, if it could there will be alot of other users that could benefit. This is a little specific so bear with me, for Christmas I got myself a corsair virtuoso se headset to use with my ps5, I've set them up the way I want using the icue software on PC, went to use them on the ps5 only to find that the settings didn't carry over. After a bit of a search on Google I've found that the headset itself doesn't have any on board memory to save the settings. I've spoke to corsair and it seems the don't really care too much about the console gamer and can't help me.
So this is to you guys if you can point me in the right direction if anything can be done to get my headset how I want it to be.
Can a custom firmware be created with my settings and flashed directly to the headset?
I wouldn't even know where to start I'm a complete novice the most I've ever done is mess around with my old s10 by rooting and flashing roms.
If this thread is in the wrong place let me know where to put it or delete if not allowed altogether.
I know I'm not the only person to have this issue with the headset so like I said others may benefit if can be done successfully.
Aloha Everyone!
My S9+ screen has broken yet I can tell it's still functioning as my alarms keep going off etc and when I plug into my PC it registers the phone and should be authorized on this pc.
However since I can't use the screen I can't change the debug settings or put it into "file transfer mode".
I see Dr Fone, Droidkit, Phone Rescue etc. but they all seem suspect and suspiciously all want 35$. I don't mind paying if they work however they all seem to require I put it into debugging which once again I can't do with my broken screen.
Is there any open source solution to this? I would like the pictures on the internal SD of course but I need a recording I made with voice record for a meeting I have tonight. This is my priority and I am currently at work and don't have the time to scour forums and all the regular things I would do.
Any help is appreciated! I don't think this post is breaking any rules and if it is I'm sorry. The S9+ mention is specific but only because I need to explain the generation of the phone as it's older.
I know this is an old phone and I pray someone sees this, infinite mahalos for any suggestions or replies in advance!
You Rock!
Is your screen responsive to touch (Even if you can’t see what you are touching)?
I saw you said broken, do you mean physically? Can you see anything on the screen?
Could you use scrcpy?
It has a few small cracks that water got into and fried the screen I believe.
My alarms going off at the proper times, if I touch the buttons it will vibrate in the ways it should etc.
It doesn't seem to be responding to touch however and it is black as in off, no color or light.
I am looking into scrcpy! Thanks, if anyone has any other suggestions that would be much appreciated!
Spcry won't work because I am not in debug mode, or rather never authorized it while I had it unlike all my previous phones. I got bored of homebrew apps and didn't bother doing it on this one.
Not sure there is anything you can do. No PC programs can control, no Bluetooth mice, no nothing.
Damn, you would think there would be a program at this point to bypass everything and grab your files.
Thanks for your help everyone!
If there was, I would be patched right away, and whoever reported it would get thousands of dollars for the report.
im pretty sure you can use a usb c hub with hdmi and usb to plug in a mouse and your phone to a tv
This is late, but questions do NOT belong in the Development section. Also, this post is for a S9+, not an S9.
