[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] thephantom:
Here. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_wifi_5_0-3838.php

Look at the features under Display - Multitouch. It says optical trackpad

Sent from either my Nexus S or my YP-G70
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] v_lestat:
Thats hilarious...... There is no optical trackpad built into the galaxy player. Not the usa version.

There are apps that allow you to use any touch screen device as a trackpad for your pc, plus they usually have a built in keyboard tonuse also.

but only via wifi and you have to run their app on the pc.

Perfect for htpc but anything else its kind dumb.

Funny to install it on a coworkers computer and mess with his mouse and keyboard but thats about it

Apple devices have had these apps for years and they do work butmreally only htpc pc will benefit.

[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
Short of using Handcent or GoSMS, any way to get a contacts name and phone number not showing up on ?

I just want the messages to show up since the contacts name is already at the top of the page.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
i'm the same way; i just want their name. i don't need to see their number. as far as i can tell, there's NOTHING that can do this. i wanna start using stock more because gosms is becomng riddled with bloatware and handcents been for a while, so i'm sick of that stuff
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
The phone number seems to only show if you have an email addy in that contact. I don't for most of mine and all I see for them is their name, but the ones that do have an email in there show the phone number.

It does still show the name but I think that's a good thing, makes it easier to not send a msg to the wrong person. Then you might have to post in that "embarrassing things" thread!
[HTC Rezound] couchmonkey:
yeah but their name is already at the top of the screen, i don't need to see their name and number on every line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Has anyone gotten their hands on a retail version of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, but hasn't applied the 4.0.2 OTA update yet?

Could you tell me what your "Build number" and "Baseband version" are? You can find this info in Settings>About phone.

Or better yet, could you post the entire build.prop file? You can find this file in /system/build.prop, which should be accessible without rooting.

Also, could you try to turn on the WiFi Hotspot feature, and see if there's a screen showing "Checking subscription status..." before the setting is turned on?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Bump now that more people have gotten their phones.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SoonerLater:
I bought a Nook Color Tablet for my daughter for her birthday. I would have put my Google Account info on it, but I didn't want to allow for even the chance that anyone could pick it up and access my gmail correspondence. This is a bummer. I have all of the family's several IOS devices on a single iTunes account, so any app I buy for one iOS device, I've effectively bought for all (1 iPad, 1 iPhone and 4 iPod Touches in the family). I would have wanted to do the same thing on our Android devices, but I use Google Apps for my law firm's domain, so that means that my gmail contains confidential attorney-client correspondence. Lawyers walk the plank for letting others read atty-client communications, so I couldn't put my regular Google account on the Nook. Instead, I created a new one just for the NT.

Since the NT has a different account than my other Android devices, then I assume that means none of the apps I've already bought for my Android phone (Samsung Droid Charge) and Android tablet (Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 1838) can be installed on the Nook tablet -- at least not easily.

I've seen some threads here about using Titanium Backup to backup apps from other Android devices and then extract the APK and install on the Nook Color Tablet as an end-around way of installing apps that aren't available (to the Nook) on the Android Market.

Question: can I backup apps that I bought on MyAcct@Gmail.com, then extract the APK, then install that APK to the NT that is tied to DaughtersNook@Gmail.com?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] little8020:
It is possible to do so but, you won't be able to update the apps on the nook tablet

the problem is that it is technically piracy and therefore illegal
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] n8w:
I've never considered to be piracy...nor given it much thought. Probably wouldn't stop me either way. When I was using my rooted NC under the same account as my phone, it had equal access to the apps I've already paid for, and my NT will too once I get around to rooting it. For now, I'm doing exactly what OP is asking about, and it works great...just without the updates. So for now, I figure I'll just make it a point to regularly re-install the apps that I back up, or buy. I don't agree with pirating apps, but I figure if I've paid for it and I have access to them on whatever device has my google account on it then they're free game since there are no restrictions there. I've just get to get my account on my NT.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] SoonerLater:
I'm opposed to piracy too. And maybe what I am trying to do

is

piracy, but I don't see it that way. If I put my Google account on my Nook Tab, then I could install all my Android apps there without violating the license. But to protect my privacy (and, more importantly, my clients' privacy), I can't put my Google acct on the Nook, because there's no way (no way that I know of, anyway) that I can absolutely positively keep anyone who picks up the Nook from accessing my Gmail and my Google Apps email. I'm aware of some things that could be done (like using Seal or App Protector), but none of them is foolproof. I don't want to give a device to a teenager that's not locked down in terms of privacy. So to solve this, I just put a new account on the Nook. If someone wants to call it piracy under these circumstances, I guess they'd be correct, but it sure seems a use within the spirit of the agreement.

YMMV

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zin0:
I'm using dReWs Ginger Faux ICS Rom (first rom in my sig) and its been mounting fine until a few days ago. When they're both connected by the usb cable, i get the notification if i want to copy files to/from the pc, so i click that and i get to the option to turn on the mass storage thing, so i press okay to that and at first it's a green android, then when it's done, its orange. The thing is, that when it claims to be mounted as a disc drive, i check my computer and it's not showing up. I checked the devices and printers menu and it shows up as android phone, so i tryed to update the driver for it but apparently it is already. I also have "HTC BMP USB Driver" installed as well as "HTC Driver Installer". I had them installed since i was using htc sync but i'm not anymore. Should i uninstall them? Lemme know if you can help, thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hey man,

for the first issues, it sounds like a bad flash or a kernel issue,

Have you tried to flash a new kernel?

There are a lot good ones out there, just google for ex, "Glitch i9000" or "Platypus i9000"

for the imei problem, does this aply with a stock rom?

I've read somewhere that some people lost their IMEI number at some of the newest samsung firmwares, they got i back when they flashed back to an older firmware.

You can grab an Stock rom from http://Samifirmware.com

then you look up a good guide on how to flash!

Then you'l get a clean flash and things should work as they should.

Hope this helps you out!

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Eyesonly88:
Hi All,

I used BladeBuddy to make ro.camera.sound.forced = 0

My phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace) is rooted. I have android version 2.3.4.

Build number GINGERBREAD.ZSKPD.

I attached a screenshot of my BladeBuddy settings.

I have set the phone on SILENT and tried as well but the sound was still on when i take a picture.

I have also tried rebooting several times.

Help would be really appreciated.

Cheers.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vitorpacheco:
you can replace the sound file for a silent file.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Eyesonly88:
Thanks for the idea. Can you tell me where to find the sound file, please?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] vitorpacheco:
I have one here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19355771/silent.ogg

replace camera_click.ogg and VideoRecord.ogg..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Eyesonly88:
Thanks, but the sound is still there!

I installed RootExplorer to replace the sound files. The location is system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg

I replaced the file and the sound is still on!

The sound made from the camera doesn't match the original sound found in that location. So i'm assuming there are other camera sounds in another location that i need to replace. Can some PLEASE tell me where to find the other sounds that the camera uses as a shutter sound ??

this is driving me crazy ... ><

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Eyesonly88:
the permission of which file/folder exactly?

Cheers.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Eyesonly88:
Ok i solved it. Thanks to your help guys.

The Solution:

My root explorer version was not the right one. I had to download 2.17.2

Then, i had to change the folder permissions to r/w instead of read-only (r/o) [this didn't work properly when i was using the wrong version of root explorer].

Then, i had to download Vignette and choose silent for shutter sound from settings.

Then, i had to replace the camera_click.ogg file with a silent audio file {thanks to vitorpacheco for supplying it}.

Now i can finally take pictures using Vignette without sounds!

Cheers :D.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MinionOfEckerd:
I'm eagerly awaiting my XP to arrive at my house tomorrow. I'm familiar with Android devices (I own a Droid, Droid 3, Archos 70 and a Kindle Fire) so I've already got a list of apps to install, ISO rips to play and I've been reading up on the XP unique features.

My question is about PSXPERIA's game saves. Are they saved in a format that is also compatible with PC emulators? (Like ePSXe) Has anybody found an easy way to Syncronize the game saves from your Xperia play so that when you load the game on a PC you can pick up where you left off?

I'd imagine that it would be possible with apps like Dropbox, but that would be a hassle to drag and drop to each folder when going from the XP to the PC.

Thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ff7fan4eva:
I think they are compatible because they stick with a 128KB file size so they can be interchangable, not 100% though, you could do a sync with the folder in ePSXe to the phone at each connect with the pc
[HTC EVO 3D] Leukay:
Hey guys, I know people usually hate these kinds of threads, but I've been a NS4G user for a while, and an Evo 4g user before that. My family is joining my Sprint plan and I'm thinking of giving my NS4G to the sister and getting a new phone. I like the idea of getting the 3d, but i am worried that it might be getting close to being outdated seeing as how it was released in June. That is pushing me towards the E4GT, but I would much rather have HTC's build quality and Sense over Touchwiz any day. So what do you guys think? Is it too late to get an Evo 3d on contract? Would you guys buy an Evo 3d again today if given the opportunity?
[HTC EVO 3D] jes24cap:
I love my 3D but it has been a very buggy phone. This is my 3rd E3D and if they would let me switch phones I would. I need to take this one back aswell it keeps freezing even with stock. I have to keep hitting my power button to turn the screen off then it works again some times for 5mins and some times 2weeks.
[HTC EVO 3D] mjcole2003:
I love my evo 3d. Never had a problem and rooted it the very first day I got it. It's the best phone i've owned to date. Future phones will probably improve battery life, screen, and be lte compatible. I don't think you need more than dual cores, I think this phone will be competitive for quite a while. This just my personal opinion of course....
[HTC EVO 3D] Leukay:
Thanks for your input. What other bugs did you experience other than the power button bug?

Thanks for your reassurance! I've always been an HTC guy (as you can tell from my phone history in my sig), and I wanna get back to them. I just have heard many bad things about the phone... i'll probably be going to sprint today to make my final decision, but i still would love more peoples input!
[HTC EVO 3D] #Winning#:
Haven't really had any issues with my 3D besides a really small dead pixel. You really shouldn't go off of what people tell you though because everyone has their own preferences. Take a look through the Dev. forum and check out the roms that the 3D has right now. It is a little behind on the dev side given we don't have CM yet but it all depends on what types of roms you like to run or if you are planning to root.

I was tempted to jump to the ET4G like many others but after seeing some make the jump then coming back to the 3D I decided against it. Just remember Samsung has a history of delaying software updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
This has been my experience.

The only suggestion I have is what I've been telling everyone who asks. Since everyone is going to LTE, only get a LTE phone. Since Sprint's LTE has not started yet, amd will be rolled out starting late next year into 2013 and they are not dropping WiMax, I don't anticipate needing a Sprint LTE phone till Mid-late 2013. Meaning if you get a EVO 3D (the best Sprint Android phone IMO) through this summer, you will not be missing out on any speed things. Phone tech always is changing, but EVO 3D should get ICS sometime next year and be current enough for 1-1 1/2 years more.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leukay:
Thanks guys, I think i may be going to pick one up today. I just hope I can live without Super Amoled. That is my favorite thing about the Nexus S. But I'm hoping with the qHD resolution I won't miss it too much. Thanks for all of your input!
[HTC EVO 3D] Adiost:
I moved from AMOLED (Legend) to SLCD Evo 3D and I don't regret. Black is not so black as it was on amoled, but all other colors are better.

The only problem I've had was a busted antenna, but swapped that phone out and it's been all good since
[HTC EVO 3D] oldjackbob:
The EVO 3D is a superb phone. Build quality is unmatched, as you're well aware as a longtime HTC owner. The only thing i wish they'd done differently is put an AMOLED screen on it, because the screen on this phone drains the battery faster than an AMOLED screen would.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leukay:
GOT IT! :)

I picked it up today and I have been very pleased so far. Thanks guys for all of your input. I can't wait to get this thing unlocked and rooted(preferably not through HTC's unlocker(hboot 1.50)) in the next few days to see what this baby can do!
[HTC EVO 3D] reyderosquillas:
I got mine yesterday or the day before (nightshift messes up my brain!)

Anyway, I got it as a replacement for the Epic 4G..

I worked for Sprint in the past & have had nearly every Android that is worth having..

But most recently, I've had the EVO 4G & the Epic 4G, I usually have one for a few months and then want to go back to the other. I had this lated Epic off of a Craiglist trade (traded my white EVO 4G, straight trade... my last 3-4 of them have been Craigslist).

Anyway, like I said, this was a replacement, but this EVO 3D came from Sprint.. I took my Craigslist Epic into the store the other day because I was having data & GPS issues (since the 2.3 update) like the Galaxy series is known for & wanted to have another Epic (refurb or not). This was my first time going to the Sprint store for repairs (not any store that knows I used to work for Sprint, since it's in TX & I'm from FL), and they offered me a replacement right away.. EVO 4G, EVO 3D, EVO Shift, Galaxy Nexus (had that one the day it came out so I had the slow downloads, but don't like non-expandable storage).. I was blown away the system offered me a EVO 3D, so yeah, I jumped on that.......

I love my EVO 3D. I had been whining recently about needing a dual core, even wanted to go to the next iPhone whenever it hits sprint (4G or LTE compatible), but now I'll be sticking with this phone because the dual core really is superb. I mean ya, maybe I'd like a Galaxy S II better since it has better optics for the camera, but I've already had too much fun with the 3D novelty.

Plus, it's an EVO with a camera button, I LOOOOVE that. It's also the nicest build quality of any phone I've had. Oh, and it has Gorilla Glass... I hate screen protectors.

I'm also satisfied that I don't need to use APP 2 SD for a while since it has plenty of space compared to the Epic.

Not sure about the battery life yet, but this is the one phone I'll finally buy a Seidio battery for if need be, since it's worth it.
[HTC EVO 3D] jason27131:
It actually doesn't have Gorilla Glass (the corning one). It only has HTC's Gorilla glass equivalent, so god knows how good it actually is.
[HTC EVO 3D] reyderosquillas:
Wow, good to know... I swear it says Gorilla Glass somewhere official though. Of course it's been out so long I know it's already been discussed LOL

Here's the most official I can find for now, straight from Corning

[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
I've grown into my 3D. I received it as a replacement for my Evo 4G, which was having GPS reboot issues. At first, I didn't like it. It felt laggy, and didn't seem like much of an upgrade to the 4G. Now, when I use my wife's Evo 4G, that phone feels "held back", for lack of a better term. Although, I do not use the HTC sense launcher. It has nice eye candy, but the software isn't optimized, so it doesn't run very well. I like the sense apps, just not their launcher. I do prefer the size ratio of the 4G, compared to the 3D. And the 3D runs games like a champ, compared to the choppiness you will see on the 4G.

I'd still prefer the Epic Touch 4G, as that screen trumps the 3D's screen any day of the week.
[HTC EVO 3D] reyderosquillas:
I had been using LauncherPro, but every few hours I would get hit with the "use Sense or LauncherPro" defaults question... like ?! I already answered this question (it wasn't going back home from somewhere I hadn't set the answer to yet), so I went back to Sense, oh well. I'm happy with a folder instead of more icons I suppose.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TimAA1:
Here's the deal: I rooted my DROID 2 Global using Pete's Motorola Root Tools in order to perform a full backup (using MyBackupPro) as I was having what looked to be a possible HW issue and didn't want to lose App data. The backup went well.

I inadvertently did a factory reset without unrooting first. When I try to unroot now, I get an error message saying, "ERROR /restore/ backup doesn't exist or is incomplete!" The Tool says there are links to the files I needs but I cannot find them.

So I think I may be stuck in a strange state - but I don't have enough knowledge to know for sure. I have seen other threads talk about similar issues but after using different rooting tools and/or different phones. I want to get back to a state where I can now call my carrier to discuss the HW issue (the touchscreen flips out and randomly and on it's own starts registering touches/keystrokes.)

On top of this, for some reason, I can't log into my Google account from my phone to start the process of doing a data/app restore and I'm don't know if this is related to factory-reset-after-rooted state or something else.

Any and all advice is appreciated.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] TimAA1:
Here's what I learned....

After trying some more and fiddling, here is what I found.

A factory reset does not unroot. (Obvious to experts, but not so to newbies perhaps. The key observation: the "superuser" app was still installed.)

You can unroot after a factory reset. Not sure why it didn't work at first - perhaps I used the wrong options (the toolkit works with multiple Motorola phones - for non-DROID 3, do NOT say "yes" to restore /system/app; the instructions are clear on this.)

It took several times, but it was successful. Pete's Motorola Root Tools are quite good. Thanks.

BTW, the account issue I had was unrelated to rooting - I use Google 2-Step Authentication, but after the factory reset, the authentication app and credentials were lost. Had to disable 2-Step Authentication on the website to get by this.

Overall a good learning experience....
