[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JackyJack:
Both phones have exact same features : 1Ghz 7x30 and adreno 205 GPU.

Both on GB and planned to get ICS...

Both on the latest MIUI GB release

Is there an option to make it unavailable/available for some specific devices when compiling ? in the XML ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] c0011j:
I purchased a JV KD-R730BT which uses BT to stream audio. It is pretty awesome. The only issue is that the player does not stream the actual MP3 Tag info with certain music apps. I have been using Power Amp which is awesome but nothing on the player. When I use the default music app built into android it does. Anyone else with any experience in this or suggestions?

And what are some other good music apps I might be able to try?

Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
I'm using an Alpine 133BT, which I bought recently and LOVE being able to stream music wirelessly. I've also noticed that not all music apps transmit the ID3 MP3 tag.. I noticed that after updating to ICS, the Google Music app (which I prefer) will send the tag info to the headset. The only issue I have (and might be related to my deck) is that I have to toggle the songname/artist on the deck for each song, the tag info doesn't get updated every time I switch songs. I have to toggle the info off and then on to refresh it on the head unit.. frustrating.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pimpcasso:
I want to be like you guys when I grow up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
i use a JVC double din BT unit and mine does not transfer any tags to the player either, But Im not sure if its dependant on the phone or the actual head unit
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrDowntown12:
I just ordered one of these from Crutchfield. It's supposed to be in Thursday. Mind if I ask if every connects quickly and properly? Have you tried using the JVC app to control the music?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lostcausenjtown:
I have a Kenwood bluetooth unit and it always displays info for songs no matter what app I stream with. Connects very fast and call quality is excellent.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Masterface7:
for my exact same setup in my car, when i had my epic 4g no info was transferred from any app, also text message reading wasn't supported so i think the phone has a big role since now with the Epic 4G touch the stock player shows song info.

what apps have you tried? Also can you take a picture of it for us?

Only the stock player transmits song info for me as well. I have tried grooveshark, tune in radio, slacker, mortplayer, miui player, pandora and slacker.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] c0011j:
Sorry for the late response.. i totally forgot about my thread here.. (moving around)

For the most part it connects fine. Sometimes it can be quirky but overall it is good. The Voice Talk app automatically opens and when you say the wake up command you can launch the default 'Music' player.

The JVC app to me is garbage. Just use the Voice Talk... set it to listen for the voice prompt on BT connect and you will be fine.
[Sony Tablet S] RayIczer:
Hi, I currently own the Sony Tablet P Japanese model. The thing is that I actually brought it so I could play Crash Bandicoot on it. Well, to my surprise Crash Bandicoot was not pre-installed into it. It has a golf game pre-install in place of Crash Bandicoot. I was wondering since the Sony Tablets got rooted now, would there be a way for me to get Crash Bandicoot?

I am actually quite new to the Android scene being the Sony Tablet P as my first Android device, so I hope you could forgive me for my ignorance.
[Sony Tablet S] praed0r:
Crash is on the Playstation store and does'nt require root, here in the UK it was available as a free download but can now be purchased.

Hope this helps
[Sony Tablet S] RayIczer:
@praed0r

Thanks a lot for the info, but I am afraid I currently live in Japan. I do not have access to the UK PS store. I have access to the US PS store and also the Japanese PS store and both of these stores do not have Crash available. At least since the last time I have checked it... f^^;

If Crash is on the UK PS store, I do have the option of making a UK PS store account... But I do not have a credit card or any other means into putting credit into a UK PS store account.
[Sony Tablet S] praed0r:
Could be a problem then, I have no idea how to get round that one, although I have seen other people in other forums presented with the same problem and have seen some very inventive solutions about account access - mostly in PS Vita forums - you could try looking here :-

http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/PS-Vita-General-Discussion/bd-p/bEN_PSVita

[Sony Tablet S] depulle87:
you can search the apk file on the internet and install it on your tablet
[Sony Tablet S] RayIczer:
@depulle87

Thanks for the advice, but I guess my question for this is that would the Crash Bandicoot apk file be different than the one that is on the Sony tablets? The reason I ask is because I seem to be about to find many Crash Bandicoot apk files and they are usually dated from before the Sony Tablets were released. (If I am not mistaken) I just want something compatible, I wouldn't like the idea of the game crashes or the controls are buggy. But anyway thanks for the info, I will give it a try when I have time and see how it goes.
[Sony Tablet S] chocobozero:
i think those apk files are for play.... so the date are eariler
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chantheman525:
So I have accumulated a few minor scratches on the screen of my gnexus, and it is driving me crazy. I was thinking about upgrading my incipio silicrylic case to the otterbox defender that has the screen protector built in. I was also considering trying out the dynaflo liquid hard shield, which I have heard good things about, and pairing it with my incipio case.

If I were to get one of these, which is the better option?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChappellHeel:
If u are considerring the defender because of the built-in screen protector then that's a mistake IMO. That is the worst thing about fhe defender. Most people who buy that case remove the screen protector. I removed mine and now I love the case. I have a cheapo screen protector on now that works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] primedude:
screen protector is a must

Hi,

Im new here at the forums but i know a thing or 2 about android (i hope so).

Anyways i have a problem with a phone i bought from pandawill,

How can i change this damn ROM to regular android or at least one that supports Hebrew Locale? i have no clue.

I've searched the internet but i keep coming short because its a china phone and not a branded one so im not sure what to do.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] punjabiest:
I received my flyer last week. everything works fine, but the image from Front Face camera has vertical banding in it. It's almost like vertical lines across the image and the quality is pretty bad, back camera is fine. Is anybody else having this issue.... Did i get a bad unit ? or is this how the front facing camera quality is ?....Please advice .....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] CCallahan:
Mine does the same thing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KB112:
Have you tried the camera in good lighting? See if it may be a factor.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KB112:
You might wanna send it back if you're within the 60 days. I just tested mine in my office and the ffc works great. No lines, issues or anything. Everything is reversed, but I think that's been my common experience.

[Android Software Development] thommy86:
as i am using miui, there backup tool is pretty good.. but this tool makes it a lot easier to help me with phones from my friends.. nice job..!

Is it also possible to restore app data this way?
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Thanks for the... thanks guys :)

As I know so far, adb install only allows me to install apks back on. I'm unaware of any other method to push backed up data via this method, though if you guys come across it before I do, I'd be glad to program it into the software :D

As I have not tried deploying the software on any other machine / devices but my own, let me know if it works :)
[Android Software Development] Howell:
Great tool !!!

If you plan to internationalize your soft just ask me for French translation ;)
[Android Software Development] drcell:
Is there any plan for backup option? Also can this tool restore data?

I can translate your tool to Turkish...

Thanks for you job...
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Researching into it, I'll let you guys know :)

From what I see though, it's only possible via ICS.
[Android Software Development] sunnylovesalman:
Thats really one of the best we could have for our phones.

Thanks .
[Android Software Development] drcell:
Is there any way to list apk names with real name? Your tool listing apk names like com.xxxxxx
[Android Software Development] zarras:
Restoring apps data would be an excellent choice, but in this case the "apk batch installer" should had an option to back them up too (in order to keep both app + app data for a future restore/install) i guess.

Also i can translate it to greek language (pm me if u want)

awesome job!
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
@ Those asking if it backs up and restores data, not at the moment, it's a simple tool that just installs apks onto your device. I'm looking into both backup and restoring at the moment though.

As far as translations go, I don't have any plans as of yet, rather I'd want to expand it's functionality further.

@drcell: I don't think there's a way for me to pull the name of the app instead. I'll look into that as well though, but in the meantime, I suggest using an app on your phone to do so (I like using AppMonster, older version before it got retarded :x)
[Android Software Development] melp57:
Great Program

Nice job, but I have never run into a backup program that backs up your .apk's to your pc, so this program want work for me. How does everyone get all their phone apk's to their pc? thanks.
[Android Software Development] hamsteyr:
Use AppMonster or Titanium Backup, or EsFileExplorer's App Manager. Perhaps I'll write a subsection that will allow for that as well. Future stuff.
[Android Software Development] hexen88:
This can be much better with function to automatically back up to PC installed apps. From phone, or directly from Google account.

Great work!
[Android Software Development] cometoluc:
Hello, does this app not conflict with the apps that are normally restored from the androidmarket itself? And is there a possibility to skip apps that are already installed on the phone? Is it possible to create a option to select or deselect all apps?

Looks like a very good program already.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brontolo999:
Hi all,

I would ask a question about news and weather widget. I'm experiencing the following the strange behaviour:

1.. when I have a data connection available, I can click on the widget to get weather forecast page and everything is working fine

2.. when there is no data connection, weather forecast page is sometimes shown but sometimes not and I got a connection error.

How could that be possible?

Is there a way to get it work all the time?

Sorry if I'm asking something which may even be in some other thread but there are too many threads about this, that I'm not able to read all of them :(

Thanks in advance,

brontolo
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razmattaz:
What ROM / weather widget are you speaking of? I am thinking it is due to your update settings...

a. when you open and is due to update (no data), you will not see page as its trying refresh...

b. when you see it, it probably has refreshed previously when you had data and didnt need to update...

Fancy Widgets is the best I have found for weather, looks a lot like HTC Sense with a great deal more features and settings. Available from the Market :)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Azholio:
I picked up the Snugg Case for my NT on Amazon. It's a good looking, sturdy case made of leather. It has a magnetic tab to keep itself closed and a Velcro tab to keep the NT ensconced in the case.

There is plenty of easy access to the volume, charging, power button, microSD and headphone jacks. A cutout in the back let's out sound from the speaker just fine.

It can be configured as a horizontal stand and you can use the elastic band to keep it attached to your hand.

There are some problems with it that takes away the usability of the case. First, because of it's thickness, it's near on impossible to easily touch the screen in the bottom left where the home, back and whatever else you have turned on buttons reside. Loosening up the Velcro helps a little but not enough. Also, when in it's horizontal stand position, it really doesn't have enough of an angle to suit me. It's around 75 degrees and I'd prefer an easier angle around 45. It also has a bit of a stink that's taken a few days to dissipate.

While the quality is really great, the issues listed above are the reasons that as soon as I want to use ny NT, I have to take it out of the case. Sadly, Amazon will soon have this back in their inventory.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
You can approach it two ways:

1. If you want to just do image editing, use 7zip and extract the apk's into new directories. Edit the images (probably in /res/drawable-hdpi), and then put them back into the original .apk file with 7zip.

2. Using a tool like apktool or apkmanager, decompile the apk. Then edit the files in the directories it creates, and recompile the apk.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FruityTen:
Hello I hope you guys can help me.

So I decided to get a Nexus S about 2 weeks ago, 1st one I had I upgraded straight to 4.0.3 ICS. Ran well except from poor available RAM and the dreaded back button issue. Finally had the handset replaced with a (seemingly) full working handset.

However I notice my android version is 2.3.1. To be honest I only want official upgrades to avoid any problems with warranty. So I check for software and apparently this is the latest version. I know this isn't true...

Please help me or offer some advice on what to do. I did search for this query but I couldn't find any recent posts regarding this.

Many thanks.

hi there,

you have two options:

1. as per prev post, wait until you get 4.0.5 OTA sometime this month

2. or if you do not want to stay on 2.3.1, you can check this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445570

it has all official updates from 2.3.1 up until ICS 4.0.3

all you need to do, is download the incremental package you want,

boot into recovery (3e) and install zip from sdcard.

the choice is yours.

good luck
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
Yes, but you can at least update to 2.3.6 using the manual method. Just find which model of the Nexus S you have, and download the update file for your phone here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 and then just boot into recovery and browse to the update zip you downloaded.

Using the manual method is safe and doesn't require unlocking or rooting your phone.

Agree. 2.3.6 is better than 2.3.1. And its 100% safe to it the way he explained. The zip you will download is unrooted so you still will be fully stock :)

Hello everyone i was just asking if the IPS screen uses more battery depending on the brightness level only or on the colours it emits also??

If so, does it consumes more battery with "black" colour (not really black... rather grey :p) or white colour?? Please reply!

what I know is that IPS is a type of LCD which is a panel emitting light and 3 colours (Red,blue,Green) is that right? When it displays "black", it blocks some colours..
