[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiiduke1:
Hello. I had a game from internet called the world of magic 1.1.0 and it worked perfectly on my glaxy 5 i5500 and now they updated it on android market and i cant download it anymore cause now it sais it wont work but it does. Most of the games work on android market that it sais it wont. So Im begging for help or advice what to do cause the game is my favourite. (i hate android market) I think it should be free to download any free game you want and see if it works or not or have the warning that it might not work and you can still download it. What should i do, cause i cant find the 1.1.1 update on google only 1.1.0. It's a free app too so no one has posted it anywhere. I was wondering that maybe Some of you could do the hassle and get me the apk of The World Of Magic 1.1.1 update. or should I somehow contact the game owners? which will take longer i think
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masonic1032:
I thought you can pay for it and if you change your mind, you have 15 minutes to uninstall to get a refund?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiiduke1:
its a free game.. so what refund could i get? :D XD
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
Its not the market, on app upload the dev can specify a minimum DPI(ldpi, mdpi or hdpi) to install, so blame the dev.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiiduke1:
it really does suck. cause i contacted the game devs. they didnt even aprove my post on their forums. Stupid i tell you ... Its like this with most of the games. The games run on my phone but it sais its not compadible i think its cause i have small phone :D (galaxy 5 i5500)

I've tried rooting the phone or whatever but none of the rooting things work for me. Anyways i read somewhere when you root your phone you can change the name of ur phone so it would say something else for the phone name on the android market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
The market looks at your dpi in build.prop, which governs the scale of the UI, so putting it above the default is a very bad idea, I tried it once take it from me.

Yes you require root for it though, possibly s-off

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiiduke1:
Well thats all stupid -.- im starting to hate the fact that I have decent phone and Im not able to download and try apps. The market thing is a fraud people should be able to download whether it works or not and just test themselves.

the world of magic

the game is this anyways

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matze5800:
Wipe data and cache of market app. Then search the game, select it, and while its loading the page the download button is visible, so click it and there you go ;) Well, please be aware that you won't receive any notification for available updates!

I've got the same problem all the time as the default dpi is way to high and makes the whole phone unusable in my opinion ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiiduke1:
well as i said i have galaxy 5 I5500

[Galaxy S II Accessories] bncplix:
In my car, there is a USB port that allows devices to be connected with audio out. If i connect an iPhone through usb, I can hear the audio output, as well as use the buttons on the steering wheel to skip songs and such.

Now, for my GS2, I want to be able to do the same, but I can not find a cable anywhere. There are the official samsung docks, but they will not fit with my case. I am simply looking for a cable that does the same thing. I have seen a DIY guide on how to make your own, but I would like to simply purchase one

Can anybody point me in the right direction?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rosedog:
no, thats the problem with decks and icrap software. your best bet is to get a deck that can read mass storage and create a music folder on you card and just navigate to that. or get a deck with bt audio and stream it. you can control the music through the deck. I have a Kenwood deck that does this.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NotSoSiniSter:
I rooted my Nexus and got the wifi tether app. Internet wen't down for a while, so I was all happy when I just tethered up and just kept browsing. I also played minecraft multiplayer.

I checked my internet and it was back up, so I untethered and I checked my data usage. The Wifi Tether app says I used 2.16kb of data. I'm like...I was watching a youtube video, I couldn't have used that little. The last time I looked at my data I was at 48mb. Now I'm at 56. But I can't account for all of the increase to be from tethering.

Quick question. My 4gig limit refreshes every month from the day i activate my phone right? I got the nexus the day it came out, so the 15th?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidstyle:
No it refreshes by the billing cycle not activation date.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lw00d:
i had to change my to the billing cycle.

it was on the date i activated the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NotSoSiniSter:
first question! :)

Pheww. Good thing i know to change my cycle. But i still dont have an answer to my first question...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weedahoe:
which version are you using?:

I have 3.1 pre108 and it installs fine and activates but there are several failures in the log of the app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NintendoSpy:
I have the exact same question. In data usage it always reports back as 1kb of data used no matter how much I use. Same goes for the data meter in my Verizon mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NotSoSiniSter:
So its not only me. :) ugh if i cant accuraty keep track of my data i freak out...

Any fixes out there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] weedahoe:
there are several download/upload meters and trackers in the Market

Im assuming you dont have an older unlimited plan?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skotturi:
Im very curious about this. Pdanet usage seems inline, one netflix movie = 1.5gb. Eek. But a week on wifitether = 17.88kb. Is it possible that the data is being masked ?

Anyone compare the built in data counter to a 3rd party app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjankis630:
Please forgive me if i am misunderstanding your question as you don't mention whether you are on GSM or CDMA. I am on Verizon and my phone is not rooted so of course i use the Verizon app to determine my data usage. Am i right in assuming that you have deleted your verizon app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Use a pen and paper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NookMonkey:
You can move the sliders on the ICS data usage app in settings to change the amount of data reported by date range...

My sister X2 shows the same dBm of around 70 as my Rezound.. But she hardly ever has a data connection. She has eclipse 2.0.1 ... The same was when she had stock 2.3.5 .. So is it a general hardware issue or what? I can't set why she wouldn't have 3G or atlease 1x

[Kindle Fire General] Listerine:
Using my Kindle Fire to read, it has always been bugging me how I have always felt the image from the text to be a little blurry, depending on what position one holds the Kindle. I took a picture of the phenomenon which I noticed.

Clear text: holding it counter clockwise by 90 degrees (landscape mode, power button facting the right)

Slightly blurry: holding it in portrait mode

Blurriest: holding it clockwise by 90 degrees (landscape mode, power button facing the left)

Hopefully these pictures come out. There are two sets of pictures in the order described above. They appear to have a chromatic aberration - like effect to them.

Anybody else notice this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GreenAce92:
Hello,

I'd like to develop a personal theme, and I am wondering where I would start to do so. A theme or a launcher, I'm not exactly sure what my project falls under. Primarily my project is based on functionality and aesthetics.

I'd like to learn from the basics, and then using this knowledge build on to create bigger and better things as they say.

Where can I start to find and read on information that is relevant to the very basics of creating GUI's for android technology?

Or better yet, what tools would I need, can I do this easily or without much difficulty under Linux? I am running Katya at the moment.

Thanks in advance for any responses

p.s. I have begun searching "theme development" and reading, however it is scattered, and I don't completely understand the methods. Where does it all begin?

Or just unzip your systemui, framework-res and twframework apk files and look in them at the graphic files.

Apkmanager will unencode all of the files for editing and putting everything back to a usable apk.

no matter what i do i cant get out of recovery. im on cwm 3.1.0.1 (purple) i just now went into recovery to flash a new rom but when i try to select something it just show the circle with the hat on it. i pulled the battery and when i turned it back on, it went straight back to recovery.

edit...well i actually tried to get to recovery (3 finger salute) and then i could use recovery like normal. hopefully this will help someone else

Just found this one this morning. Works fantastic and even has on screen step by step guide to do it correctly. Unfortunately the forum wont let me post the link, so, google epic 4g odin tar, look for a link to pc geeks forum and they have an all in one windows based updater. Run the .exe on your pc and after it installs to your computer launch the program from the desktop icon it creates, follow the on screen prompts. Best restore program i have ever seen.

I had this problem on a DroidX. Ultimately I had to boot into stock recovery and wipe the phone. It's not so bad if you have a backup. (Titanium Backup)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronjojo:
I apologize for the noob question.

I have cm7 stable for my defy and am very pleased w/ it. I am waiting for cm9 stable, but was curious if the very last nightl build of cm7 would be better than the stable mod (since it's the newest version)

I'm wondering if the latest cm7 nightly ( cm_jordan_full-63.zip ) is as stable/more stable than the cm7 stable release. also, can i install the nightly build over my current cm7 stable? or do i have to wipe all my data and start fresh?

thanks,

I hope i'm not repeating some other thread, but i couldn't find this specific answers around.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlcookie:
nightlies are trying out new devs mod n features they cant be stable but they are useable
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpchopper:
"Stable" is a subjective question, but no you don't have to wipe your data; just wipe cache (not data) install zip from sd, choose the new nightly, install it, then "advanced", "wipe dalvik cache" wipe and reboot. You should still have all your apps and everything still but be on the new version.

If you don't like 63 or whichever you tried, no big deal, wipe cache again, reinstall previous version (or if you made a backup just restore it) the same way and you'll be back on that version.

So it's not *that* risky, just make sure to use the CWM recovery for everything, not "stock" (I've done that by mistake and had to reflash sbf, re root, install 2nd init etc all over again).

hope this helps one noob to another.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronjojo:
@jpchopper:

thanks,

when you say don't use "stock" instead of cwm what do you mean? is there a stock way to flash the rom? i thought when booting to recovery it automatically goes to cwm?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronjojo:
wiui

Hi, thanks again for all the help. i've been using the latest cm7.2 nightly and all's good (except my earpiece died, and i'm waiting for my k850i earpiece off ebay.)

Anyways, I was curious about trying wiui (non ics) and wondered since Miui is based from cm7 originally, can i flash the zip the same way as i did when i replaced cm7.1 stable to a nightly, or to 7.2 nightly? or iswiui too different and would i need ot do a complete wipe to install wiui fresh?

thanks,

Has anyone used these screen protectors? They look like they work well, and they're pretty inexpensive on most sites.

And before any of you try saying anything, I searched, and couldn't find anything helpful on these. I even read the threads on screen protectors, but I couldn't find an answrr
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shane1diamond:
I have tried those. For me personally I felt as though the screen protector took away from the "brightness abit and had tendancy to get smudged a little easier than without the protector on. It was easy to put on however and for the simple fact of protecting your screen from scratches I think its a good choice as mine has a little scratch now that I took it off. Lol.

Haha, they're pretty cheap, so it won't hurt to try it out. :)

The only smooth launcher is motorolas own launcher, every single market launcher is unsmooth when scrolling, is this true for everybody else? Does anybody else know a launcher which would scroll smoothly on our razrs?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
Using Launcher2, the stock Android Gingerbread. Seem OK to me. The default Motoblur also OK and not bad at all.

I am not picky about the smoothness of the icons' scrolling, just what one of my iOS fan friends told me. :) The overall system performance, reception and stability are more important than menu scrolling. :) IMHO.

Thank you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] skycamefalling:
If you want smoothness then you should go for a WindowsPhone, but ADW Launcher is coming close. In fact, even launcher pro has been running very smooth on the Razr so maybe there are some settings you've missed?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Aashrey99:
Go launcher, ADW and launcher pro all work smooth for me. Both horizontal and vertical scrolling are flawless.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
+1 here. ADW Ex is amazing. I really enjoy how configurable it is!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
I believe ADW is so smooth due to the fact it uses harware accelerators. Go Launcher simply runs off the phones RAM so it can become laggy at times.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Pretty sure Ander Webs said hardware acceleration is not utilized as it breaks backwards compatibility. That's close to quotable. It was on Google+. He wants to use it but to fully upgrade ADW it would have to be a separate app.

Again guys, use the terminal suggestion I mentioned. Works wonders. Takes away redraws as well.

Here it is for those that don't Google:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bu...draw-launcherpro-adw-credit-samsonite801.html

It works for all launchers. Makes a significant improvement in stock blur. Trust me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mcleaver84:
^^Thanks, Ill have to give that a try

I run adwex and its always been my launcher of choice but it does hang up at times and gives a unresponsive screen at times also. I also don't think it likes to play nice with the moto launcher periodically as i get com.home.motorola fc's a lot with it running,don't know if anyone else has had that happen...maybe just my device. Still, it isn't a problem I can't live with just occasional nuisance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Read above, and do it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
Well, on anderwebs website it says "Use of hardware acceleration on specific features when possible."

Not sure if that means it device specific or what, but all the websites I usually read from even report ADW uses it.

and this was listed under the latest update too

I'll have to find the Google+ article and link it. I read your link though. That sounds very vague though, almost like he's covering his you know.

He almost sounded frustrated in the post I'm referring to. Now I have to find it. Lol.

But I do agree with a lot of you, ADW is the best. New update was nice too. But use that trick I mentioned. It'll make it better :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:
Yeah definitely if you can find it post it. I would LIKE to believe what dev's claim but sometimes it can too good to be true.

I haven't rooted my razr yet, I did my bionic and my other droids. Not having a fastboot in case I get into trouble was a little bit of a turn off. I know there is a process but it sounds like a pain.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
It's just as easy as the bionic man. Put Safestrap on afterwards, make a backup immediately, and you're fine. Safestrap is a wonderful safety net. Boots into recovery everytime. As long as you make that stock backup you're good.

I can help if needed.

You will have to scroll down through the comments to find Ander Webb. However, it's a great read, so I would recommend reading the entire article and all of the comments.

EDIT: Here is his quote: "This is a great post, I wish 99% users would read and understand it. But unluckily they just want their hardware acceleration turned on and the magic powers of it doing everything fly.

On a more technical note, I've noticed how expensive canvas operations (save layer, porterduff filters, etc) run about 2-4 times faster in software layers than hardware layers, and noticed how great hardware layers perform when using drawing caches.

The bad part is: for a developer, usually there's no easy way of changing the rendering pipeline while maintaining backwards compatibility. So I end up still doing almost everything on a canvas and loosing the benefits of the hardware acceleration for new devices: (" --Ander Webbs (ADW creator)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ddemlong:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Told you sir. I've been using it forever on all of my phones. Major improvement.

If you want to get real crazy, use root explorer and go to /data/local.prop - open in text editor. Change the 1 to a 0 and save. Reboot. I haven't done this to my razr or bionic yet. That makes the launcher the main priority, so it might slow down/kill other stuff. Give it a shot - you can always change it back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sargoon:
Hi Everyone,

Glad to be a part of xda..I need your advise on a possible screw-up that I did out of curiosity :D

I have a Galaxy S2 i9100. I had flashed CM7 on it successfully, with proper root access and everything else in order. Cm7 did not appeal to my tastes, so I decided to switch from it to VillianROM.

To flash VillianROM, I downloaded its zip file from official source and used clockwork mod recovery mode to flash it over cm7 after deleting dalvik cache and user data..

Now, I have installed VillianROM with partial success since I have lost root access to my phone.

I tried to regain root access by being a smarta** by flashing Siyah Kernelv2.6.1. Even after installing it, I dont have root access. -.-

Here are the details of my phone:

Model Number: GT-I9100

Android Version: 2.3.5

Baseband Version: I9100UHKI1

Kernel Version: 2.6.35.14-Siyah-v2.6.1+gm@ubuntu#42

Build Number: VillianROM 3.0

Can anyone please help me understand what mistake I did and how to remedy it? :-)

Also- I plan to flash MIUI ROM now and settle with it. Any help with that with be appreciated :))

How did you know that you dont have root access???Install superuser and busybox first(restart).Download and install terminal emulator.Open it up.

Type the following

busybox whoami

If it says

sometimes,it says just root

Then you have root access !!
