I was checking out Saints Row 3 and I still couldn't move the camera anyone wanna mess with the game keyboard and tasker apps they are using in the xperia thread to see if you can use the epic keyboard as a mouse?
[Epic 4G Apps] ÜBER™:
You can use sixaxis controller on the market to connect your ps3 control to your phone and in the prefrences use it as an ime. I tried it on dirt 3 works alright but seems to lag but I haven't tried it clocked higher than 1Ghz so ill see if it works later. Still have to use the on screen keys to navigate thru the game.

I enabled Facebook integration on onlive (i already had an account before they had the app but I still got Lego Batman for downloading their Android App.)

I don't like the integration, it's exactly what it sounds like though. The minute I get on onlive, it let's all 400+ of my Facebook buds that i'm being a geek playing video games on my cell. Lol that doesn't quite look good with the ladies.. -_-

I played saints Row 3. Eh. If you don't touch the screen, you can play it without messing with the camera.

I'm a casual forum reader and don't have the expertise as I'm sure others on here do. However, I was perusing another thread which had a few things I'd like to see in this forum. If someone has the time and know-how, could you put together a resource bible similar to what they have for the MyTouch 4g? A poll would be great, too, in order to see which ROMs are the most popular. Thanks in advance.

Things move really fast in this forum. Even peoples' opinions on ROMs and kernels. QBking has the best how-to's, by far. The youtube videos have the links to the files in them, as well. Problem is everyone here gets really busy and any attemps have become out of date very fast.

I figured it should go in the wiki, but the Wiki looks to be a bit out of date. As someone else said before I guess stuff just moves too fast.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iori57:
I tried to record some real time data on some equipment's panel screen today (at work place) using the sgs2 stock camera app video recording..

Many had told me the video recording suppose to have auto focus but the wordings are very blur and I can't identify each words at all during recording and also when playback.

At the end I have to borrow my colleague's iPhone 4 to get the job done, it focus immediately on the screen wordings and appeared clearly..

Normally I never use video recording but now I'm bugged by it lol

Am I doing anything wrong here? I'm using Checkrom 3.1.1 though I doubt they have tweaked anything on the camera app, it looks the same as the stock one.

So I wanted to change my screen protector from clear to antiglare, and I tried to remove the clear screen protector, but I just couldn't. I tried using a penknife to lift the edge but I think I lifted the entire black border of the original screen instead. Is this even possible? Is the original screen just a stick on piece? I suspect I've damaged the original underlying screen in trying to remove the screen protector.

Anyone who has removed their screen protector from the flyer, I would love to hear about your experience.

Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] HiredGUN.45:
Definitely don't use a knife or blade. Use scotch tape (not packing tape but the Scotch brand Magic tape) and place it on a corner and the screen protector should lift off really easy.

Hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
I was just wondering since I have never seen this around here before if it is at all even possible to change the regualr zoom in zoom out transitions with a fade in n out one like HTC or adw launcher. That would look a hell of a lot more proffesional on these phones and doesnt it use slightly less resources as well? Would be neeaatttt. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Jeffmeister:
Sure just download a launcher that has that option.
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
But I mean throughput the whole phone. I want to replace the zoom in and out with a fade.
[Motorola Droid X2] UbuntuBrandon:
I don't think I've seen an app that changes that transition throughout the whole system, but check out all the different ROMs. One may have an option for it.
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
There has been apps like jrummy's toolbox I believe that can change animations for the whole system. Search in market there is a free one but none that I know of with simple fade in n out. :(

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnexusaud:
Hi

I've been hearing that the 1850m battery of the Nexus LTE will be available for sale sometime soon separately (no biggy in the news department, this is obvious).

I was wondering if that battery will be supported and work properly with the HSPA+ version of the Nexus?

If so: Will it be worth investing in this battery to give the phone more battery life? How much more life does a 1850m battery give compared with the standard 1750m battery?

I'd only consider doing it if the battery would fit without increasing the thickness of the device (I'm told it actually won't).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vagelis:
Nope impossible

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20088804&postcount=1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
No. It will not fit in the GSM phone. I went to a Verizon store yesterday and looked at accessories. They had spare batteries in stock. The LTE battery is square and smaller in length than the GSM one's rectangular battery. It won't fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
No, it won't fit.

Check the accessories forum you will see all the photos showing it won't fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
100 / 1750 = 5.7% more battery capacity.

If you're going to bother to get an extended, wait for the actual extended batteries to come out with new doors that work properly. Theres word about a ~2050 mAh (i think?) battery coming out with a battery door that fits pretty much flush with the bottom bump and looks really good (P3Droid posted pics on twitter). Id say if you're going to get extended then do something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnexusaud:
I appreciate this help :) Thank you.

So a 2050mAh battery without increasing the thickness of the phone? That is impressive! I think I will be buying it as my phone really likes to chew through battery, even on 2G without any apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
It will increase the thickness of the phone. But from the sounds of it, only slightly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnexusaud:
Thanks for this, I will make sure to follow up on this. If only battery tech would keep up with the cpu/gpu tech in devices :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Increase the thickness to what the bottom bump is, which is thicker than the current setup :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Are there any other Samsung phones that share the same battery with the GSM Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _Opiate_:
I seriously doubt it do to the NFC chip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnexusaud:
This is just a noob question, but would a more powerful battery improve the speaker volume (it's very quiet)?

I've read about volume programs/apps like 'volume+' but I've also read that using these apps to boost the phones volume for calls/texts/notifications etc it actually ruins the phones speakers and quality. I've read this just as many times as I've read about the quiet volume thing.

Hopefully the battery can help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDM123:
Battery won't help volume, sorry.

Just noting that my Dev Verizon LTE Gnex came with a 1750mAh battery for some reason.

This is probably what I'll end up doing. Currently I have 2 cells, work Blackberry for long voice calling... and a G2x on Tmobile for data browsing. I'm getting rid of a phone and a line and getting just a SGN on Verizon. I've handled the phone at a Verizon store yesterday and it is pretty thin. I don't mind thickness as much considering I carried 2 phones around for 6 years. Battery life is one of my bigger concerns because the blackberry will go for days (no use aside from a few voice calls). Having a blackberry has bailed me out a few times while out of town.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 83mck:
My battery specs:

- Always running on 2G (selected from the general settings menu).

- Not ever connected to a data plan, only using WiFi for a maximum of 30 minutes on the app store.

- Never using the browser.

- Sending exactly two text messages.

- Not ever making one phone call or receiving one phone call.

- 30 minutes of playing a 2D game.

- Never using the camera or video recording and never viewing photos or video.

Battery lasts exactly 14 hours from a full charge

Is this right or is the Nexus really that bad with its battery?

Three days later the battery usage was back up to 30%. This time I haven't found a solution .:mad:

So far after resetting my galaxy, it's been able to delve into deep idle. But still not sure what caused the media server problem in the first place, and i doubt it's the last time ill see it.

How to fix it

The mediaserver thing runs when you open media(photos, music videos) in any program. If you inactivate it you will not be able to access your media. So when your finished with viewing photos or music just go to

apps-->all-->mediastorage-->force stop

DONT CLEAR DATA, I DID IT ONCE AND I COULDN'T ACCESS MY MUSIC FOR A DAY!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsafety:
I am a new Tab user and I am pulling my hair out trying to get my bookmarks imported. In Internet Explorer, I have a well organized set of bookmarks that includes about 25 folders and over 600 links. I cannot seem to duplicate this on the Tab and it is really starting to piss me off.

I have successfully imported these bookmarks along with their folders to Chrome but nothing has synced with my Tab for almost three days. I have read that this is normal but cannot figure out why or when the sync will occur, if ever.

Using a very rough app called Mybookmarks, I have been able to import the bookmarks into the stock browser. Of course, all the folders are now gone. I now have to scroll through 600 bookmarks every time just to find the one I want. It should not be this hard.

I prefer the performance of the Dolphin browser but so far have been totally unsuccessful at importing any bookmarks into this app. Again, I cannot believe that it has to be this hard. Maybe I am missing something.

Android is hyped as being much better and more flexible than Windows and/or IOS. So far I am not seeing it. What good is a browser if you have no bookmarks or they are totally unorganized. Can Google have overlooked this very important feature?

I doubt that so it must be pilot error. Please, someone point me in the right direction so I can get this problem solved.

Now in before TWRP is coming, yes it is coming... but when is it coming? I dont know, you dont know, we dont know. In the meantime I remember using steam recovery on my Captivate a while back and it being a touch screen recovery.

So steam recovery from my understanding was based off CWM but added touchscreen integration and some other things. Do you guys think it would be easy to hack it onto our kindle fires, considering that jackpot already got CWM onto the fire but with no proper way to navigate? It would probably speed up development to have a recovery we can navigate through and use while waiting for a TWRP release.

Comments?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] smirkis:
that recovery requires a physical back button still, unless itcan get reconfigured to the powerbutton as back.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gillmanguera:
Ok I sold my nexus s to my idiotic friend who went on and installed the Netarchy CFS BUILDS:1.4.1-cfs (For stock 2.3.4 or higher roms)

Deal is he wasn't stock, he was CM 7.1.0.1 now he's stuck on bootanim.

When I tried to boot on recovery by adb comanding it the computer wouldn't recognize the cellphone as it would usually by displaying "Nexus S" it just says "Portable Device" and wont let me update de drivers so it would just recognize it like a adb device....

Any ideas? The precise model its i9020t

A detail is I cant get on recovery from the bootloader, the power button is jammed, I need to do it by adb, or from the rom manager which is now not accesible.

Sorry for my english :(
[HTC Sensation] sahil04:
I just picked up a Sensation from craigslist (got a offer I couldn't refuse) and I had a couple questions.

The guy who sold it to me has already rooted and unlocked it and it is currently running Android Revolution by mike. My questions are:

1. How can I make sure it is unlocked without inserting a sim from another carrier?

2. How can I see if S-Off is enabled or not?

3. If S-Off is enabled, does it stay enabled on each rom flash or does it become S-On and you have to re do it?

That's all I can think of currently, I just want to reflash from scratch just to make sure no spyware crap is loaded on here (paranoia but I'd rather be safe than sorry).

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
1. Not certain, I've never seen a SIM locked Sensation, well mine isn't.

2. It will be just by the virtue you have ARHD installed. To check yourself, power off. Then power on whilst holding in the Volume Down button. It'll then show it on the white screen.

3. S-OFF will stay now it's S-OFF'd. If you just install Custom ROMs you'll be fine. However, if you install a RUU you'll probably kill off the Custom Recovery, likely to be ClockworkMod (CWM). This is easy to fix though.

The ARHD thread has a superwipe zip you can run that removes all the previous ROM info, then just install a ROM of you choice. Everyone will have personal preferences, so just install a few and see which one you prefer.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
thanks for providing the file, I don't know how to do the permissions like in the original thread :p

how do you set these permissions???

thanks for the heads up, I might have flashed without looking if you didn't say anything :p

you can solve this without too much trouble by copying your own build.prop to your sd card, and transferring it to your computer. yes, it can be done on the phone as well in text edit, but I recommend keeping the three lines, sony.../xxxx=true/persist (abbreviated for this post), saved on your computer or something. find the original text in the original thread's first post.

after all, each time you flash a rom or whatever that may have an effect on your build.prop, it may also delete these three lines and render your mod useless until you re-add it.

so, after downloading sak's file:

1) copy your build.prop to your sd card and move that to your computer

2) edit your build.prop to include those three lines using notepad++

3) delete the build.prop from sak's zip, and paste your modded build.prop in the zip in the same place as the original

4) put the zip on your sd card and flash it!

======================================

@ sak, I'm having a hard time confirming it works. since the screen would be altered on the phone if it worked and make a comparison of before and after screenshots impossible, I tried comparing pics I took with a real camera, but there's little to no difference. the easiest comparison would be for someone who has two of these phones available to install the b_e on one and leave it off on the other and with the same exact display settings, view the same pic or exact same frame from a video...

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I don't know how the other two files work, but the lines added to build.prop won't harm anything. it simply enables use and if it's used, then it allows it to "persist". if you want to revert, just find where the other two files get saved to, and save a stock copy of your build.prop.
