BUMP!

i just had to restore my CM9 trying to edit my build prop according to the rootzwiki like....I also would like some dev info on whether adjusting the build.prop will work for CM9 installs

OK well i got the new playstore games working by reverting to CM7 and changing the build.prop file there to HTC Desire S....Only game i cannot get working is deadspace which as far as i can tell requires a 3G connection to authenticate the download.

Working : Backstab, 9 MM, Nova 2, and with no issues and by not changeing the build.prop i got Shadowgun and MC3 working without issue.
[TouchPad Development] dubidu:
I don't normally care about the screen ratio, but I know you guys do :) hehehe.

I wrote a quick hack for CM9 (code as today) which allows you to switch between 768 to 600 "on-the-fly" :)

Have a look at

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/20318-help-making-widescreen-mod/

as I said, it's a quick hack, so do not complaint too much ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ryan2202:
Hello,

Just switched over from an EVO 4G to E4GT. Rooted and installed UnNamed ROM yesterday, still tweaking things a bit today.

Questions:

Is there an LED app out there that allows you to speed up blinking? Its annoying that it blinks so damn slow.

For Bluetooth, I am not getting an option for "File Transfer" after pairing with my laptop (Win XP). My EVO used to have that option automatically but it doesnt seem to be the same on the E4GT. It only pairs the Headset. How do I get the File Transfer pairing working?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgepink:
Just an FYI: if you are looking to do an exchange of a recently purchased phone to get the Sammy, give yourself some time.

I went in today and (3) different people (One was a manager) could not get the new sim card to activate. I couldn't wait any longer so I had to say I'll be back after work. So, no phone for about 2.5 hours.

Anyway, I DO NOT blame them, it was the systems vzw uses. If they are the same systems Verizon uses in fios then I can relate, some of their systems are antiquated. They all tried to help and it's ok, I'll get it after work, but just a warning to anybody else who may be on a time budget...

Hello

I have a problem with my new Xperia Arc marketplace.It runs 2.3.3 version.

I want to buy a game (there are some of them on disscount) but every time I try i get a message "the item you were attempting to purchase could not be found".

What to do?

I saw some market enablers on the marketplace but they need root permision and for that I need to root my phone.Can I do it somehow else?

Thanks!

And will i lose ARHD features if will flash stock kernel?

Sorry bad english
[HTC Sensation] MonkeyK:
You need a Sense 3.5 ROM for the Amaze Camera. If you want ARHD, this means you need to use 4.1.8.

Yes but you cant use the ZSL

To use burst mode etc, you need stock kernel as HTC missed out deliberately the ZSL drivers in their spurce code because they are not honouring the opensource license properly

You cant flash dsp manager. Or did you simply mean push/install it via adb?

How about the most simple answer..... Its not compatible with the YP70 .

Email the dev of the app and request an update.

And why would u want dynamic range compression anyways.

Your not pumping out anything but 2.0 stereo and not a very good one at that.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Interstellardave:
I listen in a very noisy environment and it's very difficult to hear any quiet passages for any thing, (especially listening to movies or video clips) but the loud segments are too loud. DRC would help level that out. I can't believe this hasn't been more of an issue and people wanting this for PMP's and smartphones for that reason.

The DSP manager does install and the equalizer and other sound effects work fine, but with DRC enabled, there is no effect on the audio. I assume that's the incompatibility with this player part.

[Galaxy S II General] roni2915:
Hello all,

If I could get the Galaxy S2 or the S2X, which one should I go for? OR are they both the same and the only difference is the screen size (4.3' vs 4.5') and the processor (1.2 vs 1.5 GHz)??

Could you please give me some specific details as to which one I should buy and why? :)

I will be using the phone on a Bell Canada network, so if I get the S2X, i will have to unlock it; and S2, i could probably get it from Bell so no need to unlock it :)

Any help is appreciated, Thanks fellas! :)
[Galaxy S II General] 007Arc:
Get the international one. Because it has more support, so more roms, kernels, mods,... And 4.3 inch is big enough. You can also overclock to 1.6 but thats not needed because it's already blazing fast. But you still decide
[Galaxy S II General] sean is here.:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3621&idPhone2=4129

Here's a good place to start. Opinions are like a$$holes and elbows, everyone's got one, some people have two...and yours might or might not matter to me.

That said, I just upgraded to the SGS2 but I chose that over the 2X due to the price difference. The SGS2 is available for some really nice deals right now.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S II General] Enzopreme:
i have owned, sold, and switched to the SGS2, and I do not regret it at all. The SGS2X has a qualcomm/adreno 220 combination, and compared to the exynos/mali 400 combo, its a night and day difference. although the exynos is clocked @ 1.2, compared to the X's 1.5, the SGS2 is way faster/smoother/more liquid. It is all around a better device IMHO. Besides the extra .2 in screen difference, this SGS2X is not as good. And that isn't just opinionated, if you do your research, you'll see that this is all backed up in video, graphs, and reviews. The SGS2 is still the best device out ther IMHO, even better than the nexus. The only thing the Nexus has that we cant is the higher resolution. Besides that, there is nothing. Go with the SGS2, I personally peomise when comparing it to the SGS2X, you will not be disappointed.
[Galaxy S II General] Omia28000:
I have question as well in relation to this I am currently on Bell Network on Galaxy S2. Now I am planning to get the Telus S2X and Unlocking is not an issue I can do that but with Samsung in order to flash you have PDA, KERNEL, PHONE and CSC files. Now I understand we don't have ROMS yet for S2X for Bell but Can I use the CSC file which I believe is the network config file on the Telus S2X?

I guess Its not worth getting the phone as I found out that its and overclocked processor.
[Galaxy S II General] PlanDreaM:
Exynos is too fast.Buy the international if you can.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
Hi guys.. I recently got an extra battery for my I9003, from a samsung service centre.. But I can't find a good external charger for that..

I got this one from a local market for 100 INR, coz I looked around the city and this was the only one I found.. The problem with this charger is that after charging my OLD battery for nearly 6 hrs on that, it showed 72%.. And I think the battery was a little swollen in the middle coz it felt a little tight in the phone than earlier..

So it would be really helpful if somebody can suggest a good and RELIABLE, EXTERNAL battery charger..

Thanks..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
i will suggest to charge with original charger. If u want to use another charger then ensure that voltage & mA range on new charger should be same as that of original charger...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
Dude the original charger is for charging the battery inside the phone.. I'm looking for something that can charge the battery outside the phone.. That's the issue...

And the only one's u find are the cheap chargers, u get in those local electrical goods bazaars.. They for sure screw up the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:

when i bought my I9003, there was a rather compact, external charger with it in the original packaging, and yes, the charger is Samsung labeled!

its reliable, fits in your pocket and charges to full in like... 3 hours or so
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
different locations offer different accessories at the time of purchase. for example, if I bought the phone where I live (on Guam), I would have gotten NOTHING with it but the A/C charger adapter. no headphones, no screen protector, no microSD reader, etc. this is the same service you get in the states, so mobile providers that sell phones can make extra money. I bought mine in Hong Kong, and I got the screen protector, microSD reader, headphones, and a couple other thins for free with the phone, but no external charger. based on your profile, I see you are in mainland china. that may be why they offered you something different from what I got.

In order to help OP get a charger like yours, the model number or part number of the charger would help him narrow down his search and see how much one would cost. thanks for the info! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
@ jack random

Dude that's an awesome one u got.. Can u please ngive me the model no or something like that or maybe a Site where I can order one of those online, would be great..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Jack_Random:
i realise that different locations offer different accessories! unfortunately i can not help with model number etc on that one since the charger was in the box the phone comes in with a 2nd battery together, nothing there except the SAMSUNG logo, no sticker, not even extra packaging or anything...as i said, it wasnt some sort of extra freebee they give you on top of the phone :o

EDIT: Found a Model number EBH973UBBC, a barcode scan comes up with RT1B211AS64 E, unfortunately, google doesnt come up with any results on either!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] supergaijin:
I think I found what you mean, but it's not exact. the battery in the pic is slightly weaker than the i9003 battery, 5.55 Wh for the pictured battery vs 6.11 Wh for the i9003 battery. this will affect the charging rate, ad perhaps the max charge, but other than that it matches. click here to see it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjdguitar:
just curious if there's an app or mod out there that allows you to dim the LED flash on this killer phone? i like using the flash when shooting video but it's so bright it makes it difficult to look into the camera without being temporarily blinded.

or am i being a wuss?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazostyle:
agreed

you aren't being a wuss. I was actually wondering this same thing. God forbid you shoot video at night - everyone hates you or goes blind...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] momentary:
You could go to anywhere you buy cameras and look for a diffuser. It would stop it from blinding you but you'd have to rig it to the phone. I've actually used a piece of scotch tape as a makeshift diffuser before and it worked beautifully. Just gotta be careful not to cover the lens.

You can change it with this app: LCD Density Changer.

Going down to 150 or 140 gives you more contents on the screen, but I really do not know what a goog value might be. Any ideas?

I noticed some of my apps like IMDB weren't showing the tablet version on the tab but rather the phone version. So I kept dropping the dpi down and found that 133 will enable apps that have a tablet version to show properly on the tab. But doing that will do some funny things with the calendar and email apps. They won't scale properly. Not to bad though I've been able to live with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Settembrini:
Thanks, so you scaled down to 133. I will try it out.

My "problem", the Kindle app shows lots of line-space, I do not like. But scaling down does not really solve the problem, there is more text on the page, but relatively to changing font size the space between the lines remains the same.

Does anyone know if it is possible to get more densely packed lines?

Thanks!

I was under the impression that the GN from Verizon is a world GSM phone + verizon's CDMA (like iPhone 4S)

Is that not the case? are there two distinct versions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] perdurabo2:
Nope. Just CDMA/LTE, no GSM. The confusion comes because of the SIM slot. But this SIM slot is for LTE and not compatible with GSM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jp2000:
I see, thanks.

So, is there a channel for purchasing an Unlocked GSM GN in USA? I believe all previous Nexuses had this option.

I don't want to buy from an importer (too much $$$)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
No there are no unlocked GSM NS in USA. Only options are:

- Imported GSM (Negri, Expansys, Amazon, Newegg) ~$699.99

- Canadian Carriers (Unlocked)

... its the same price as you would pay if you bought the phone off-contract. Shipped from USA as well.

Reason why there isn't any option for this is because of Verizon's exclusivity to GN -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WilliamStern:
I took a few test shots, and the images look great! What are your thoughts on the camera guys?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] waylo:
I found that in dimmer lighting, it is not as impressive as advertised.

I think some of the problem is that the camera needs to be kept pretty still, so more pics are blurry due to phone movement.

I might argue that my N1 camera was better. Slower, but better pics in low lighting.

Hopefully some software tweaks can help this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
compared to the sgs2 it's not as good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shawn_230:
Personally, I'm at a loss. As far as I can tell, 'zero shutter lag' basically means they've just removed auto focus?

Sure it takes instantaneous photos, but they are often blurry and out of focus unless I tap to focus first, then hold the phone super steady and then press the shutter (which is virtually impossible due to no physical shutter button).

So yeah, not that impressive to me and I don't get this whole zero shutter lag business.

Panorama mode is a total gimmick too, pictures are very tiny... though this is a criticism of ICS camera app and not the SGN's camera setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bisquick24:
I am happy with the camera so far, I like the fact I don't have to wait 5-6s on my older phone to take another shot

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kindiboy:
it has been a hit or miss for me.

so probably when they tried it they got alot of misses lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
i think the main thing is that a lot of people are going "5MP?!... all the other new phones are 8MP!!"

sure, it may not be able to take pictures at higher resolutions or produce quite the same quality as those 8MP cameras, but the fact that it can snap pictures instantly is a big plus.

that and even if you were to take a pic at "8MP", most likely you're not a professional photographer and you're going to be re-sizing the photo anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craighwk:
In answer to your question, it's due to the fact there are plenty of high quality cameras out there on phones slightly older than this that produce superior photos. The GN is a beast of a phone with the latest mobile technology, but the camera is still a generation or two behind. Disappointing to say the least, but not disappointing enough to prevent me from getting it.

That's why.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brian85:
Are you guys seriously that dumb?

The phone autofocuses still (without using touch to focus). Zero shutter lag means no lag WHEN TAKING THE PICTURE, AFTER IT FOCUSES.

I can't believe some people have no idea how this works lol. You still need to focus the damn thing, or wait for it to autofocus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coverton341:
I find that the camera is quite good for taking pictures outdoors, but under artificial light the come out a little off. Mind you this is not messing with any settings, just taking pictures out of the box. I will say that no matter where I take the pictures and under whatever lighting, they turn out much better than my Droid 1 (which I fully expected)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:
I love the new software I think its a step up from the SGS2 even tho its not quite the 8MP. Yes, it may not beat the pants off the iPhone4s but really its a phone and does the job I want it to..... If I need DSLR quality I will take the DSLR out. Also, for me my pics are mostly viewed on the phone for family and friends...not for family portrait books ect. This topic is just like the battery life issue some are happy and some want perfection.... I want it too... but as our devices get better so do our expectations.
