Where can we actually use Google Wallet in the US to pay for things? Not even sure how this works. I thought there are just a few places that accept this?

It doesn't replace your credit card right now in the US does it?

Lol r u for real? That sounds awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Where is the list when you need it?

"Another reason to own a GNex over an iPhone"

I didn't see the list present and I was just wondering....

Was that reason number 5438 or 5439?

LOL made me laugh

i dont see NFC is an advantage over iphone.

i make payment much faster with my credit card than using my phone.

turn on phone > pattern unlock > tab > enter pin > tab > hit send

One more reason

And the most sad and funny all rolled into one...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
At least his works more consistently than Google Wallet :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trilogee:
lol...did I ever say there were 5440 reasons....

and I'm sorry to hear that you all have problems with NFC but it has always worked first go for me. You can set your pw timeout in wallet so you dont have to go through the pin process. I have Wallet in my google folder on the home screen. All i have to do is wake up my phone tap twice and scan. Quicker than taking my wallet out and then my card, and then entering my pin/signing a receipt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
No, no... you never mentioned it, I was just talking about one of the many reasons... and actually I think that one is in the MIDDLE of the LIST ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krichek:
What is the last part after entering your pin? I'm confused by tab and send. I've used my phone pretty much everyday since buying it to pay for something and I have never done anything other than unlock and enter the pin. I usually do this while standing in line and since the app stays unlocked for roughly 5 mins after entering your pin the only thing I need to do when checking out is turn it on. No unlocking etc is needed. Because I can enter the pin etc while standing in line it makes it MUCH faster than using my card.

Hi to all

i just bought a new s2 phone and i am very happy with it but i just have a problem

i had a motorola droid razr and see than caller id (or phone number) can be readen from the phone.

I am looking for someone who can extract it from a razr.

apk's on the market are very crappy.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] djnoicatse:
Why not go to the razr forums? It'll be a lot easier getting the apks you want there. This is the GS2 forums.
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Hello, although this is probably in the wrong area I just really want to know the answer :rolleyes:

The RUU files on my computer, when i run them as admin and click allow they come up with an error message adbout the setup process and then closes. It says I should report it to my vendor, the options are report (nothing happens) Detail>> (some random codes) and OK which closes the program. It does this for all 7 of the RUU files, i've tried redownloading and everything. I have a microsoft vista commputer so it should run. Any solutions?

This is what it exactly says:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rignfool:
Did removing the sms apk break mms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adamtrace:
break it how? mms.apk is your whole messaging app. if you remove it before adding another messaging app you wont be able to text.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] keplenk:
Thanks for the tip and I was looking for this one.

However, what are those apps and what will happen if you remove them? Do you to replace them with a different app right away (just like the mms).

Maybe you can add a small description to the right on what the apps do and suggest a better replacement.

Maybe I'm asking too much (very noob user here) :) But great post anyhow!

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adamtrace:
No not asking too much at all. I will def add some descriptions when i get some time(Got a one year old driving me crazy right now). Most of the apps i have listed so far are just bloatware. Stuff SAmsung and the Providers added that you dont really need. As far as the messaging app theres no need to delete it i just wanted to let everyone know that its safe. If your using a different messaging app like GoSMS then why have the stock one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
kies air is an app that basically turns your phone into a web server, it has nothing to do with software updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
Is that a web server in your pocket or are you just happy to see me.

*Never thought there would be a valid time I could say that.*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adamtrace:
Updated. Meant to add just kies.apk not kiesair.apk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rignfool:
I can't speak for samsung... but... on Motorola... if you remove the stock messaging app... you get sms fine... but no mms... didn't matter if I used handcent... go... or any other messaging app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rboone18:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] modiand:
I have removed all at&t Related bloat ware and havent had any issues
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adamtrace:
Allshare no problem.

The rest I dont have on my bell i717 so they are most likely just your carrier bloatware and should not be a problem
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jelly82:
Is it better to freeze them? If I completely remove them is it going to effect feature OTA updates?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] carhigh:
I think they are talking about deleting the actual apk files not deleting in tbu.

I freeze crap with tbu. That can be undone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jelly82:
Thanks for the reply. I usually just freeze bloatware myself, but don't mind deleting the apks to free space if it doesn't effect ota. Be my luck my kid would be watching netflix and update with out me replacing the apks. Happened on my LG. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] adamtrace:
Im not 100% on this but i believe we could use nitrality to replace a lot of these apps. It was designed for the samsung galaxy s but i think it will still work, ill give it a try in bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] borijess:
I rooted my note but having issues freezing apps. They seem to take forever to uninstall or freeze. Have to force stop TB to stop the hanging. By the way trying to freeze TW launcher.

I use a Sixaxis on mine. Need Sixaxis app from the market though.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeezy1:
Does anyone have any other suggestions for this?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] sdfguerreiro:
Tried everything to enable wii remote to my SGSII without sucess...anyone managed to do it?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] GuestK00450:
Sixaxis PS3 controller is definitely the best.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Masked Avenger:
I'm extremely sorely tempted by icontrolpad or the rip-off gametel version. £40 just seems a bit pricey to take a punt on, though. But love the idea ofthe control integrating with the phone!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rferrett:
I am interested to know if there is any chance of getting the analogue nubs to match on screen controls in Android like the icontrolpad pad team have managed on IOS.

If they managed that then I reckon the icontrolpad would be a must purchase.

They are frustratingly bad at getting back to your emails mind. Rather puts me off spending a lot of wedge on one.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] yeezy1:
Thanks! I think I'm gonna have to go for it. Hopefully I won't regret the spend as its probably a touch more than I'd like to spend on it.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dizzydz:
definitely the PS3 controller. You also need the bluetooth gamepad app off the market.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] layton87:
ps3 pad along with the app works great for me... Even if i didn't have a PS3 pad don't think i could justify paying £40 for one of the flimsy bluetooth smartphone pads that are out there...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Spiritseb:
+1 for the sisaxis controller
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Elemetrix:
Do the third party PS3 controllers work or does it need to be an official Sony one to pair up correctly?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ctomgee:
I tried with a knock-off ps3 controller (which, incidentally, DOES work with my ps3), but it didn't work with the SixAxis app on my phone. It DID work with my OEM ps3 controller though.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Arizej242:
It works on ohter roms than stock, im using mine wiimote on CyanogenMod 7. But only custom-input configurable apps allow to use it, like GBA or PSX emulators
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ctomgee:
I'm on stock. SixAxis works for me just fine.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Elemetrix:
Thanks for that, i'll just get a used Official one then (IME they always feel better anyway!)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] amozonesk:
+2 for SixAxis with SA app from android market.. works like a charm with FPSE and N64oid (both singleplayer and multiplayer) emulators. however, after-market SixAxis controllers are not compatible.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Techniks:
Non-genuine.

Do any non-genuine pads work with our S2?

I want to buy a pad but dont have PS3 and getting the genuine controller is quite expensive and not worth just to play on my phone.

Here in UK is more expensive. Was the OEM controller used or new?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ctomgee:
Like I said, the one knock off controller I tried didn't work. I've found OEM ps3 controllers out there for around $30, which is only $10 more than what I paid for the knock off.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ctomgee:
Used.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rferrett:
I have now purchased an iControlpad and it is very good.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] c0minatcha:
I use the PS3 controller and it is sick! (Thats a good thing)

I was dieing to play SF2 again but you need a joypad for sure!

So now I sit on the train and play not only MAME games but also games like ShadowGun! The crazy thing is people look at me and they just dont understand whats going on ! you can see the curiosity to find out what phone I have, what I'm doing...I end up just smiling !!

PaPoW :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] beaver2233:
the icontrolpad looks freaking awesome - cept for the price of course :/
[Galaxy S II Accessories] rferrett:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] w98seeng:
I held a Note at the local cellular store the other day and I thing I fell in love. I currently have a Galaxy S and I do love it (Except the crappy GPS) but my contract is up next November and I started to see what is out there and what is coming out in the near future.

As my motto is The Bigger the Better when is comes to screen size (with-in reason) I wondered if the Note would be too big. But, it's not. I really like the size and it fits in my pockets as well.

So, last night I had a dream I lost my Galaxy S and I was running all over trying to find it, going out of my mind. The next thing, I tripped and my phone jumped out of a secret pocket (it's a dream remember) and when I picked it up, it was a Galaxy Note.

My contract is up when the Note will be about a year old. Does Has anyone heard if a new version is coming around that time? I know it's a while away, but I am curious.

Thanks,

Ian
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
no news about the next Note, but given the fanfare this version has received, it's nearly inevitable that there will be one. just hang on :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] UncleManuel:
One thing I've learned: It's simply not worth it to wait for month and hope. Just go for it and be happy... :cool:

@GPS: I've got my Note yesterday, so I could'nt test it properly yet. But one thing surprised me today: I walked to a local grocery store and used the app "GPS status & toolbox". I started it and had 5 seconds (no lie!) later a fix with 17 satellites! Holy crap, that was quick! :eek: :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] w98seeng:
I'm hoping it will have a coffee maker built in, that's about the only thing left to add.

I'm hangin, I'm hangin.

My contract is up in November, so it's 8 months I have to wait.

This is great to hear. My GPS only works with a ROM from Europe. I have never had GPS with the stock BMC (Canada) ROM.

Hey, leppo, how does your GPS work with the Canadian version? Are you still on the stock ROM?

Ian
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
i ordered the international version from an importer nearby, and the gps is amazing... very similar experience to the above poster. if you want to know how the Bell/Telus/Rogers version performs, head over to the Note i717 (AT&T) forum. they're the same thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sportster44:
I dreaming about one too.... Still using a Omnia II with WM6.5. Got another year to wait on my contract (corporate, no early upgrade options) tempted to just buy one and then wont have to be locked into another contract for a while.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] w98seeng:
That's an expensive way to go.

Many thanks, didn't know this.

Ian
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DPMAce:
I felt the EXACT SAME WAY, because it hadn't even been a year yet since I bought my HTC HD2, but after I lost it, I went ahead and bought the note.

Trust me when I tell you this, IT WAS WORTH IT. The note is the best toy you can buy, until the note 2 comes out. And even then, the note will hold you over until the note 3 comes out. Even with it's imperfections, the note is badass.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
Actually, I got it through a clever dealer who arranged for me to get a Nexus on 3yr subsidy with Bell, then swapped it for this Note. I paid $140 for it, including the price to get the Nexus :-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
The Note has GPS and the russian GLONASS (GPS is american). More satelites = faster and more reliable.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] poope:
I' m dreamin about one too. I'm an illustrator, and i saw some awesome artwork on this forum. My contract is until september, so i,m closer to get mine. I was wondering the same thing about a new version. I'm sure there will be a new note in 2013.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sportster44:
anyone know where ot get an unlocked, no Bell bloatware version in Canada?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] leppo:
I got mine through a company called "Mobile DNA", which is a store in Richmond BC. They can be found on facebook... Though there are undoubtedly some stores nearer to you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] w98seeng:
If you're going to buy the Note, I suggest you do what leppo did and get the international version. If the Bell/Rogers version is the same as the AT&T version, it has the Snapdragon 1.5GHz dual core processor which I read is not as fast as the Exynos Dual-core 1.4GHz processor.

Are you going to root your Note? If so, use Titanium Back-up to remove all the bloatware you don't want. I do that, I remove all the software that comes with Android I do not use.

Ian
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sportster44:
Mobile DNA is only BC, not Ontario, but thanks. I would like to get the international version if at all locally as I don't like the wait! Not sure about rooting it yet, I'm thinking I'll just play around with it for a while before rooting it or flashing it.

I've had my note for about a week, and am loving it. My previous phone was a Galaxy S2, and the note feels like a big upgrade. I've noticed that GPS locks on super fast - faster than any other GPS I've used including Garmin units.

Well, dished out the big bucks and bought the Note yesterday. I could see how i may not need my ipad too much after this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gamedok:
I would advise you to wait until your contract is up. There should be another version of the Note, possibly a quad-core and in Q4 this year. As for me, I just begun my contract so I won't be getting a new phone anytime soon. XD

One thing is for sure though, once you go Note. You can never go back to smaller screens.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_mw:
ok, so I bought this new Asus Eee Pad TF101 about three months ago. I had running the original OS until yesterday when they kept sending me the message that I should update my firmware. So that is what I did. Not to mention that I had all kinds of aps and of course games like create your own zoo and stuff like that which might not seem all that much but anyways; so everything was going pretty good even though i wasn't quite stoked about the new update, until this noon when I tried to open my tablet from a standby mode. That is when all happened. It kept rebooting in a loop over and over a gain; so I went into recovery mode (volume button - ) and it started just like when i bought redoing all those steps.

my aps started downloading again but of course with no saved games and what not.

now what could i have done differently? is it because of the recovery mode that i lost all the current positions in the aps that i had??? for example even in a "french language pack" that i bought i didn't have any of my exercises saved, mistakes and so on...

and the other question is...can i get it back? somehow? or it is just lost?

P.S. i didn't mess with the tablet at all; i just let it be with all the factory settings given at the beginning.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean is here.:
It's pretty normal when you get a system update, that all of your apps and data could be lost. If you had root access, you can (and should) make a backup of everything before you run the update. A good app for this (if not the best) is the pro version of Titanium Backup, which can be found in the market. There's also myBackUpPro and a few others, but TiBu si the best IMO.

Without root access, you're pretty much just screwed. There's not alot you can do. You could have migrated all of your apps and data to an sd-card, but as far as I know, most backup utilities need root access to fully function. I could be wrong there, it would be worth a try. Look for myBackup or TitaniumBu in the market.

Good luck.

But yeah, maybe you want to wait for major software updates before upgrading firmware. Then at least it would be worthwhile.
[Folio 100 General] matthewharmon102:
I have just bought a refurb Folio 100, and need some help in installing ROMs. the only experience i have had with android is from my HD2, Desire and Galaxy Europa, so I don't know if the folio works in the same way.

Usually, you do some kind of flash to get a recovery partition installed (I have used Clockwork mod in the past) then from that you can install the ROM from an SD card.

My main question is how do you get the recovery partition installed onto the folio? I have seen all kinds of different methods so I want to make sure I am getting it right!
[Folio 100 General] stefannsv:
You must use fastboot
[Folio 100 General] kutagh:
It is recommended to use fastboot, since it is less likely to cause issues or conflicts.

The alternative is to place the recovery as update.zip in the root folder of your sd card, boot into Toshiba recovery and apply update.zip ;-)
