I just got my note yesterday and its great, I first installed Amazon appstore (I just googled it and downloaded it) it installed fine but tells me my email or password is incorrect. I know my email is right and I changed my password like 3 times using the "forgot password" tab. Each time I received a "password changed " popup....but I still can't log in, and I can't get back my free apps of the day. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
First try logging into your account via a PC\Mac to be sure of your user name and password. (Not trying to say you don't know what they are but this way it removes any question.) Go to phone and in Manage Apps clear the cache for Amazon Appstore. Try to log in now that you are sure of your credentials.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dmbrown81:
Also delete any registered devices you have in your Amazon devices your not using.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] h2447intx:
dont know if this will help at all but i have two diff emails i guess set up two diff accounts , any how i have to go back and forth betwean the two accounts some times one will let me buy apps some times the other will let me buy apps

when you in the adroid market , go to setting and it say manage accounts . then if you have two diff accounts switch between them and see if that helps ,,

i may be way off or may not even know what im talking about but i try

good luck

I just don't get it. I've tried all 3 of my emails address, 2 of which are yahoo accounts. The only one that worked was my second yahoo account but its not fully set up...if I try and download today's free app it brings me to a page to finish registration (credit card info etc) the email address It should be allows me to log into the regular Amazon website (even from phones browser) but it doesnt work for Amazon appstore. I've cleared data, deleted and reinstalled, reset password several time...i just had a thought as I was typing this, since the note didn't come with a sdcard I used one of my 2 16 GB cards one is from my infuse (the last phone I used with Amazon) and an other 16 from a different phone. I know that the one that's in my note isn't the one from my last phone (with working Amazon) I wonder if I swap cards if it'll work?

Hello everyone!

I apologize for starting a maybe newbish thread, but my searcher over the forum and the web gave me nothing.

Problem:

WiFi, proxy server and proxy authorization setting are set up properly.

Internet Explorer shows authorization window, and then works fine.

Skype worked fine with proxy immediately.

All other apps can't gain access to internet.

Tried with two different proxy servers, they both work as described above on my Omnia W(Focus Flash), but seamlessly on my laptop.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocfor:
Hello

Is there a patch, kernel or fix out there, that changes following things:

- keep display on (override display off) after connecting an external power cable (USB)

- do not switch on display after unplugging the external power cable (USB)

Most helpful were to have this switches configurable by a settings extension, so that every user could decide by its own.

My device is rooted, behaviour is the same in 2.3.6 and 4.0.3.

Any help appreciated.

Hello to all,

I have been flashing roms and kernels to my nexus s i9023 for a month now.

I have found that any rom can handle well with skype app.

I cannot receive calls or call someone some times and other times it cannot update.

Can someone help me solve the problem with the skype???

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanprudent:
One of the best features of the camera on the nexus was its instant capture.

No matter which settings I tick on and look through there is no instant capture since using 4.0.3 . Has anyone else had this issue or is there a app which can do it instead?

using GSM galaxy nexus - build 26 of AOKP with Franco kernel.

Thanks guys

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kecinzer:
1) AOKP isn't official Google ROM.

2) This feature is more useless even oposit. Because on 4.0.2 is able to do many photos in short time, but without focusing. Android 4.0.3 added focus between shots. So if you taking many different photos, you will have to wait a little bit, but you will get better photos.

If you taking many photos of one object, Nexus don't want to focus and you will able to take many pohotos also.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
works just fine on my AOKP build 26 GSM Nexus.

Using stock kernel though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j3nnning:
Same here. The instant shutter is gone after 4.0.3 and I thought I was the only one.

I really want the instant shutter back! If I want to focus I can focus it myself, as its current state, there is no way to take photos instantly without focusing first. Why is there no settings that can let us choose between the two mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
Some people say instant shutter was "tweaked" in 4.0.3 to add focus because people were getting too many blurry photos. I don't know of this is true or not.

What I do know is that the special camera bits are NOT a part of the AOSP. It's proprietary Google software just like the Google Apps. So we can't check the source code to see if this changed. But one of two things is the case: either focus behavior was changed significantly in 4.0.3, or 4.0.3 Roms don't include this proprietary Google software that is not found in AOSP and can only come from OTAs. Either way, the only current way to get the "stock" instant shutter feature the phone shipped with is to use stock 4.0.2 Rom or a Rom based on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
One more reason to stay away from custom ROMs..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
Actually you can see bits and pieces of changes in the AOSP. From the changelog it seems they intent to have 16:9 aspect ratio instead of the 4:3 one. Camera stabilization (there's none at all in 4.0.2) and better focus. These changes require an update of the ducatti binary blob (the camera's firmware).

I'm pretty sure we're going to see much better performance from the camera in the next updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea wasn't image stabilization added in 4.0.4? No 16:9 in this day and age is crazy. Kinda ashamed to show my camera because of this.

The camera is OK for shots but no where near the quality of my G2x 8mp cam.

EXT LTE Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.4

Asus Transformer - ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
If you want it back just flash Android Revolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rem3Dy:
You made absolutely no sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
Is there a way to edit the shutter time through root explorer? I pulled the camera apk from 4.0.2 and replaced it but it made no difference. I had two camera apps but both were identical as far as the instant shutter/capture.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
BAMF Paradigm has instant capture.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssass21:
My Arc just stopped working without a reason - one moment it just didn't boot up.

I had unlocked bootloader, phone was rooted and had stock firmware LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.42 Generic Global.

Battery was apparently dead, after replacing it i could connect to the phone with flashtool and fastboot. Still i couldn't boot up the system.

So - as i had no better idea, i flashed phone with Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf and LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_Global.ftf - in case radio was damaged or sth.

After that phone manages to boot up from time to time, but in less than minute dies off and reboots. Mostly it reboots before reaching to homescreen.

So i kept trying with flashing with newer firmware, but no success. its even gets worse - with every other firmware it even doesn't try to boot up.

Flashed firmwares:

LT15i_4.0.A.2.368_Generic Global.ftf

LT15i_4.0.1.A.0.283_Generic Global.ftf

LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic Global.ftf

LT15i_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic Global World.ftf

There were no errors during flashing - with any of firmwares.

Any thoughts what i should try to fix my phone? I have ran out of ideas :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
Try a different kernel and enter cwm. If you can do that then use flashtool, flash .62 firmware, put a custom rom on the sd card like arconium or se tweaked, fastboot dooms kernel v19 and attempt to flash the rom.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssass21:
What kernel would you recommend?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
For 2.3.4(.62) then doomlords kernel.

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssass21:
So i did flash my phone with .62 using Flashtool. Tried both Doomlord kernels -

ARC-DooMKernel-v19-BM-v2-lower_boot.img

ARC-DooMKernel-v19-BM-v2-high_boot.img

In both cases after turning the phone on i can feel a slight vibration like usual, but that's it. Nth shows up on the screen - so i couldn't enter recovery.

I even tried relocking bootloader and "repairing" the phone using PC Companion. Still nth happens during booting.

Would it help to erase boot, recovery, system and try again with newest firmware and DooMKernel? Or might erasing harm sth?

Flashtool shows me that loader version is: R4A066. Maybe i should update that somehow?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
Try flashing .62 with flashtool then boot the phone, before using fastboot.

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssass21:
That's how i usually do it. Tried again, didn't solve the problem - won't boot up.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
Assuming it's nothing obvious(user data not wiped, etc)as you've done it before. You originally flashed 2.3.3? And if you run that it boots, so could it be the 0% battery issue? I haven't had issues as I've never flashed a previous gb version, but the 0% issue was pretty common but now resolved(somewhere in here)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssass21:
Yes, always have wiped userdata and it's probably not 0% issue - if i try boot up LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_Global Customized.ftf then i sometimes can glimpse homescreen for couple of seconds and it doesn't show battery as empty.

I understand that flashing Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf and LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_Global Customized.ftf won't update everything possible? Maybe i need to extract and flash some components from some newer ftf's or sth?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
All I can think of is maybe the boot file is damaged, or corrupted, it seems to be happening to a few posters. Try connecting in fastboot, use 'erase boot', and maybe system too, and start again.

sinkster©
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssass21:
I have tried 'erase boot' too, doesn't help. What puzzles me, is why my phone chooses to boot up (although continiously rebooting) in 2.3.3? I would have given up hope a long time time ago, if it wouldn't boot up at all :)

Thanks anyway for trying to help, if any new idea pops into your head (others are also welcome to help me), please let me know :)

Maybe i do sth wrong what is very obvious, although in June '11 i already unbricked once that phone using the same method and it worked:

1) flashing Xperia 2011 Range_FreeXperia_ALL.ftf

2) flashing LT15i_3.0.1.A.0.145_Global Customized.ftf

3) flashing newest firmware..

If you have a rooted phone you can install lucky patcher dont install it from google play store install it from onhax i would have provided you the link if i had permission. Then install modded playstore (also from onhax) i would recommend you that you backup your real playstore with titanium backup before installing because it will replace your playstore. After that open lucky patcher and locate the option patch to android then you will get free apps dont think you will not need to pay on googleplaystore you will have to download free apks of paid apps this method only skips the verification off app payment.

Hi people, im not new on XDA but on this subforum...

Well, im looking for a new phone and i been watching for an ARC S (middle performance and middle price) but, i wonder if the Arc S has enough RAM to work with ICS and some Future apps... im not a hardcore gamer (Ill just use for 2D games so 1,5ghz are enough and i dont use facebook apps or lots of widgets..) but.. 512mb are enough for the following 2 years? (Orange's permanence contract)

as im reading Xperia S will be expensive, and xperia P... nothing until april and not price... any other option?

(i have now a wildfire so i want a real phone.. this is worse than a stone xd)

thanks and sorry for my bad english

well, is this phone enough for the future?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
It runs ICS, but 512MB aren't enough anymore, at least for me. I'm running lots of widgets and apps in thr background.

But with some mods the problem is solved very good, no launcher redraws anymore.

That's the only reason why I regret getting the Arc instead of SGS II or Sensation.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soumya_digi:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Well, then live with low RAM or save some money untill you can get a S.

The S is quite cheap, just 100-150€ more than an Arc (S). Would get one if it looked better :D

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overdose1986:

Im happy with my arc s, looks better than any other phone, is fast and have enough ram for what I need
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yakandu:
yeah, has enough ram for now but if i buy one ill be on Orange with that phone for 2 years, dont know how will this phone run within one/two years

also, here in spain xperia S (in addition to be very ugly) it is 600€ and other phones are uglyer or expensiver

argh! Arc S would be perfect with 750mb Ram u.u
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
I use my arc s for bussines and developer work as well as gaming when bored in airports ect. You cant expect any phone to multitask like your pc.

But i use the wifi tether for ppl i travel with, check emails, browse banking and booking sites, make calls, send msgs, and use the calender and document/office apps all at the same time, copying&pasting stuff between apps with no issues other than my 9 hours of life lol... but that comes under extreme heavy use lol.

The arc s is a brilliant phone for the price. And given the options of whats around if i break it i would buy the same again. And i think that ics will be awesome for at least a few years. So i wouldnt worry too much about updates.

I use and co-dev the TEAM rom. So i have minimal tweaks. ( i have a brightness tweak and some dither options in build.prop and thats it ) stock kernel with my own modded ramdisk

This is my personal opinion so dont hold it against me.

Pvy
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yakandu:
xD no i dont expet my phone to do that, im just wondering if this phone can handle ICS + normal usage from here to 2 years... (im assuming the apps, like on any other OS will need more and more ram with time) and i dont want to be with orange 2 years and in the firs year my phone cant run ... for example, the new angry birds or cut the rope without crashing, or just incompatible with 4.0 (like some apps are incompatible with my Wildfire 2.2)

in spain this device is ~400€ so im waiting for Xperia P ~450 and S ~500€ full reviews.. if they come crappy (1400mAh? too low) ill take this for sure!

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huknife:
I didn't quite understand what you meant by '(with go launcher ex)'.

No.3 on the Instructions in 'Connect your phone to PC'. Do we disconnect it at any stage within the process?

No. 8 of the Instructions, asks to 'copy the Gapps zip and cm7 stable or nightly zip file to root of your SD card'. Does this mean copy these files to just inside my Micro-SD card and not into any other folder.?

The Gapps zip file is from the //goo-inside me/ gapps/ site? I found many files there, which one do i need?

No. 12. 'select the appropriate baseband to achieve optimal reception'. I assume the appropriate baseband should be my current base band. How do i find out which it is?

The backup mentioned after the instructions is a backup of the newly installed OS? Is it necessary/Advisable to backup my current OS and at which stage is it necessary?
