I-Firefox OS Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I wounder if its possible to override the volume button on the device so it dosent change the ringtone and sms volume? I had this feature on iOS where I can set the ringtone and notification volume then a switch that sad "Change with buttons" = true || false. My Android device (Padfone2) did not have this feature and I end up missing calls and sms because you turn the volume up and down when you browse the web, listening to music ect.

Does someone know if this is possible on my ZTE Open with FFOS 1.1?

For forum: re: Tools>Options>Network>Offline Web Content and User Data, (Help) says in part, '..If you have previously blocked a website from storing data for offline use..', If this refers to the times I have 'denied' a web service from storing data on my machine, then something is wrong. I have 'denied' many such requests, yet there is nothing in the box (Exceptions) 'Offline Data'. Why is there nothing in the box, and/or how do I manually add a service to the 'blocked' box? For me, this is a real problem as I have spent as much as 5 minutes clicking on the little 'Deny' box in the request before it goes away and allows me to watch the video I wanted to watch (the little 'request' box sits right in the middle of the video box, blocking viewing of the video). Is this a problem with Adobe Flash Player Settings (whos 'request' box it appears to belong to) or a problem with the Firefox> Tools (Local Storage) settings? (a picture of this 'request box' available on request)

I have a ZTE Open for Telefonica Movistar Mexico.

On my ZTE Open, adb debug is _disabled_ I was trying to update it via "More Info" menu, but it never worked. So I tried to update it via SD Update using the ztems rom [0]

It just bricked my phone and now, every time I try to update it via SD card using any ZTE Open rom (I tried with several roms), including the Movistar Mexico's one [1] I'm getting errors like this:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature E:signature verification failed Installation aborted.

No matter if I delete the first three lines of /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, I'm getting the same kind of errors.

Please, any ideas about this?

My device is running version 1.3.0.0-prerelease that was compiled from source (by someone else). Now ZTE has finally released a version 1.1 'update' that I would like to install. However, when I attempt to install the update I receive a signature verification failure error message. How do I install the update provided by ZTE?

I want to share internet connection from notebook to my mobile phone (Keon) with micro usb cord (because I don't have wifi). I found in Firefox OS (version: Boot2Gecko 1.1.1.0-prerelease) Settings only the possibility to share internet from mobile phone to PC. I use a Debian based OS: Knoppix. I tried to accomplish this with Networking Manager and I did a new wired connection via my phone with "Shared to other computers" IPv4 Settings and with FE:...:02 (usb0) MAC address. But on my phone there is not internet although the connecton between my notebook and phone is estableshed.

there is an error due to picture. i press reload a couple of time but not working anymore. the error is https://m.ak.fbcdn.net/sphotos-a.ak/hphotos-ak-prn1/t1/1908483_209927625874419_1956547350_n.jpg

I recently bought a ZTE Open off of eBay in the US. I'm currently working on building an app for the phone.

I need to upgrade to 1.2 to use the Firefox emulator that comes with FF nightlies now and test out this app on a real device. It's currently running OPEN_US_DEV_FFOS_V1.0.0B01

I've tried the Fastboot method, but... *sigh* this is one of the broken versions so that's out. The recommendation from Mozilla is to upgrade via the SD method with the image provided by ZTE on their site.

I went out and bought an SD card to do this (!) and have tried all of the .zip files and followed the instructions from ZTE (and the Mozilla Hacks blog). I've tried a ton of different things and read all the comments... but...

Frustratingly, it keeps saying "E:Signature verification failed" and won't flash when using the SD card installation in the recovery menu thingy. The thing is... the files are fine! I can select it... I'm 99% sure I'm not being an idiot. I've tried the 1.2 images as well. Nothing will verify! Nothing! :(

The phone boots up fine afterwards and I come back and try and do more googling.

Help! All I want to do is support this new OS, but... man, I've put about 5 hours of time into this so far... just the phone!

I have a device that uses multirom to boot to Android and to FirefoxOS. I want to synchronize the sms/mms messages between these OS's. I am fine to use symlink if someone can tell me where FirefoxOS keeps it's SMS datbase. If it isn't that simple, how do I go about it?

I want to build an wallpaper application for firefox os . So i need that any image that any user open they find an option to 'set as wallpaper' or 'share via bluetooth'.

I am considering buying a phone running Firefox OS, but Wikipedia says it prohibits recording calls. Is this correct?

It seems mental. I know it is illegal in some countries, but not where I live. And when you interview someone over the phone, it's useful.

Hi, I have downloaded the repository source (1.4) for nexus-4. Trying to build the source after deleting .repo folder.

If I delete that folder it is not building at all.

please suggest me to handle this scenario. due to space issue I have removed the .repo folder.

Thanks in advance.

I own a ZTE Open, UK edition bought form Ebay. I tried upgrading from 1.0 to 1.2 following these instructions.

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2014/01/upgrading-your-zte-open-to-firefox-1-1-or-1-2-fastboot-enabled/comment-page-1/#comments

The update I installed came from ZTE themselves, and was not a custom, or third-party ROM.

The upgrade worked smoothly and had no errors, and I was prompted to reboot my device. Since then it has been in a reboot loop.

I've tried entering recovery mode and restoring to factory settings, but nothing worked. Likewise, I've tried wiping the cache from recovery mode, but with no success. It's also worth adding that I cannot reach the phone via Fastboot or ADB.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I need to set a proxy setting in order to browse internet over a wifi connection. I searched over the settings but couldn't find where to set the proxy. Where is the setting located?

System: ZTE Open, Firefox OS 1.1 stock.

I use Firefox v1.3 nightly-chanel on ZTE Open (eBay). Everything works well. The attempt to update always fails. Loading, unpacking then an error.

I don't use "here maps" and would like to uninstall it but can't. I don't want to be tracked and really don't want to pay for data charges tracking me entails. I set geolocation to deny and they revert back to accept. That is not "the way I want" or an "open" OS. How do I uninstall "here maps"

I upgraded my ZTE open (from ebay) to Firefox OS 1.2 (following carefully these instructions : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Developer_phone_guide/ZTE_OPEN#Upgrading_Firefox_OS)

Now I can't pull the notification tray down, no matter how accurate I try to be.

What can I do ?

I have a ZTE phone running with FF OS 1.1. Since yesterday I don't know why the SD card is not recognized anymore on my computer. - USB storage is enabled on my phone - SD card is recognized on my phone - It doesn't work on other computers either - I tried to power off / restart the phone : no change - It was working before...

Any ideas? Thanks!
