[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Stevieboy02008:
is there a difference between the S2 & the Skyrocket charger & the note charger ? i noticed that my phone charging faster when using the usb that came with the note more than the one that came with my old skyrocket ? or is it just in my head ? i used both chargers & notice the one that was in the box with the note charging it much faster ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Camaro1LE:
My note charges the same with either one (skyrocket / note) no issues what so ever

Hello!

I have Samsung Galaxy S 2 AND Can I open MTZ Theme without miui rom??

Thanks !!
[Android Themes] iximages:
no.

but you can use a launcher from the market to get a similar look
[Android Themes] mesay:
Can You send me Link from Market?

Thank You Very Much!

Go to the Android market and type in LAUNCHER. There are many to chose from. Examples are Go Launcher, ADW, Launcher Pro, try QQ Launcher for a MIUI look!

Good luck!

I had this rom but then removed it and now I want to go back to it but I can't find the addons that where in the post when I first downloaded the rom. It was one to remove nova launcher and one to get the stock aosp camera but they are all gone. I also can't find the sensation 1.5ghz kernel.
[HTC Sensation] sparx180:
The kernel is in sebastianfm's thread for overclocked kernels, but 4.0 includes a 1.5ghz kernel.

As for the addons, there are updated versions scattered through the virtuous thread none really have any download threads so its just a case of reading and searching im afraid :/

[HTC Amaze 4G] gregb882:
First, I have searched both here and Google regarding my question but all I’ve turned up are problems with WiFi connections (which I don’t have – my connection is always solid) and reported problems about 8 months ago with payments in general (my problems are with WiFi only).

My problem is that any time I try to purchase an app on Android Market (and now Google Play) using WiFi, the app hangs at the point where it’s trying to authorize payment. It just sits there no matter how long I wait (well… at least 10 minutes or so). If I switch over to the home screen, turn off WiFi so 4G comes back up and then switch back to Android Market/Google Play, payment goes through properly. Once the download starts I can switch back to WiFi and the app will download without issue. This happened several times when I was straight stock using Android Market, at least once when I switched to NRG’s ROM using Android market, and again this morning with Google Play; it isn’t just the new Google Play app.

I wanted to ask whether anyone else has experienced this and whether you found any reason for it or a solution to it. This isn’t the end of the world but it would be nice to have it working correctly so I don’t have to mess around with the connection while trying to download a large app.

Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
I was having issues last night buying app from google play, was getting error 403. then this morning I bought another and it went through and I was like wtf!

I refunded the three apps that didn't go through then re bought them and they downloaded perfectly.. lol

not sure if that is the issue you're having but take a look at this thread:http://www.google.com/support/forum...ad?fid=4627bf187632930e0004babe8be00aa0&hl=en
[HTC Amaze 4G] gregb882:
Thanks for the link, but unfortunately my issue is different. I never got an error of any kind, it just sat there trying to authorize payment until I switched from WiFi back to 4G, then it went through without issue. Afterword, I could download the app on WiFi just fine.

Thanks again.
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
My payments for apps only work over 4g
[HTC Amaze 4G] stratax:
well I can confirm it isn't using wifi, it COULD be your router or firewall, or some other settings. I can confirm it because I don't have a data plan, I use wifi for everything and I have bought apps through it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gregb882:
Hummm, guess that's just the way it works. Thanks for the feedback.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onearmedscissor:
I know there's already a battery life thread, but I thought it would be interesting to have one where people also included the amount of time their display was turned on for, since that seems to be the primary source of battery drain for me at least. Also if you wouldn't mind posting the average brightness it was set at, as well as any custom rom, kernel, or battery saving techniques you're using, that would be cool as well. And if you have a really long display on time, like over 5 hours, maybe you could include a screenshot fort verification too if it's not too much trouble. Thanks!

The most I've ever got is about 5 hours or so of display on time at around 25% brightness with sky ics 7.4, faux kernel 009m, -50 global uv, 1.5ghz CPU speed, and juice defender ultimate with 15 min sync interval. I can't find the screenshot for that one, but here's one that's almost as good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ginobili1:
Hi,

I recently got a Galaxy Nexus and loving it and my question is regarding Bluetooth. Could be applied to other Android devices as well.

Is it better to toggle Bluetooth ON and OFF constantly (through apps such as Tasker) or to keep it ON (w/without any paired devices) until its turned off manually or by a constraint? What is a better battery saving option?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audibalso:
bluetooth

I tend to just leave bluetooth on all the time, I don't notice much drain and it makes connecting to my car a lot easier. I'm assuming that it acts like gps (i leave that on all the time too) and it only drains power when it is in use, like when i open google maps. Just because the toggle is on doesn't mean that it's in use and draining power, at least that's what i think...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ginobili1:
I wouldn't mind that either, but the icon is there all the time and just makes me feel as if it is draining at least some amount of battery. Or using the Android system even if not in use. So I would rather have it turned off. But you're right, I haven't noticed much of a drain with Bluetooth always on (non-paired most of the time) and toggling it. Actually I think I have seen it eat more battery if I toggle. But I might be wrong!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bat0nas:
I had a normal phone time on battery before (24h with 2,5h screen time).

And now my battery goes to almost zero in 12h and 1,5h.

I must have installed something which drains the battery. Maybe mail sync or smth.

1. Could you please, who have 24h and 3,5 screen time post your Android system keep awake, cputime and other parameters?

2. Could you provide explanation what is "keep awake" and other similar words used in battery stats screen?

Maybe answers would give me a clue where to search for battery drainer.

Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audibalso:
battery

i would recommend getting cpuspy and seeing if your phone is going in to deep sleep. If it isn't than something is keeping the phone awake. You can dl betterbatterystats and find out what processes are draining your battery along with wakelocks which is waking up your system.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Just keep in mind many folks who get good battery life like that are Rooted running different Kernel and ROM setups.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
As mentioned, CPUSpy is a great tool to get a better idea of whether or not your phone is buzzing along at 350 MHz when you're not using it, this is what turns your full day phone, into a half day phone.

Better Battery Stats is also indispensable in my opinion, it can help you diagnose why your phone is staying awake, the majority of the time you can do something about it since user apps tend to be the culprit.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterk-1:
I've asked this on the Google android-platform group but it looks very quiet so I'll ask here (I'm not sure its an issue that is TFP specific).

In /data/system there is a file accounts.db and a table within it is the table accounts with 3 records one of these relates to AsusPCSync and is of no interest .

For the other two records I have

name | type | password

<email add>|com.android.email | plain text pwd

<email add> | com.google | 64 char string (rough count)

Does anyone know if my email password should be in plain text when the com.google is encrypted?

Will a change to an alternative email client change anything - I would expect that all apps will use the same android API ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chrihuc:
Just sayin thanks for finding this. And actually I am a bit surprised that it's so quiet also here. I find that a bit disturbing!

So anyone an opinion?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] peterk-1:
I've established that this issue was reported in September 2010 here http://www.androidcentral.com/android-passwords-rooted-clear-text. I think it was picked up from the Google Code forum discussion here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=10809. Assuming that the moderator is knowledgeable then post 128 "Starting with Honeycomb, device encryption is now supported and is the most appropriate solution for this issue. Closing this now." brings the ASUS Android build into question. So if you are using a rooted device and the default mail client then anyone borrowing your device can gain access to your email password. I can't comment about any apps being able to transmit the password via an internet connection.

The solution is simple.

Install the free K9 email client

Open up the "Asus" email app and delete any email accounts

Check in /data/system/accounts.db that accounts is now clean of the email password

I formatted my sd card in CWR! I then tried to load a new rom. Now I'm stuck in bootscreen and I forgot to save a backup to my computer! Not sure what to do.
[Nexus S General] lithid-cm:
Wipe cache and dalvik-cache from the recovery. Then try to boot. If that doesn't work you need to fully wipe sadly.
[Nexus S General] enosh816:
You need hold down the "volume up" button and the power button. that will put you in boot mode. then scroll to recovery with volume button and press power. now you can choose "mount and storage" then mount usb. now you can put any flashable rom on your phone. then flash.
[Nexus S General] rasengan82:
If everything fails just go to CWM and wipe everything (/system, /data, /cache, /boot) and flash your favorite ROM or go stock.

Sorry about 10 reply
[Nexus S General] atocream:

[Nexus S General] supercarrera:
Yeah I tried loading a couple different roms but it always gets stuck on the bootscreen. I believe it's because I completely wiped out my sd card through CWM.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Nah. If you really only wiped SD card in cwm your still good to go w/o problems.

Download a ROM for your device (Nexus S or Nexus S 4G) (HINT: To prevent problems with boot looping w/o formating everything download the ROM you were using at the time you wiped the sdcard.)

Connect phone with your pc/lappy.

Go to cwm recovery

Go to Wipe

Hit wipe dalvik-cache

Hit Go back once

Go to mounts & storage

Hit format /cache

*** Steps between the ***s ONLY if you're still bootlooping after installing new ROM (so leave them out the first time, if it fails come back and start at the steps above but include those 3 below this time)

format /system

format /data

format /boot

***

Hit mount /sdcard (might not be necessary if it already says unmount /sdcard)

Hit mount USB storage

Check your pc/lappy, the sd card should pop up now (if not, you're missing drivers, get them from the tutorials on how to flash ROMs around here)

Copy the ROM you downloaded previously to the sd card folder that popped up

Once finished copying hit Unmount on hte phone

Hit Go back once

Hit install zip from sdcard

Hit choose zip from sdcard

Navigate to and then hit the ROM you downloaded

Select Yes

Wait for the process to finish

Hit reboot system now
[Nexus S General] supercarrera:
Yeah it's working! I guess the key was to completely wipe everything. Thanks!

I have been using Sixaxis for a couple weeks now, it's a great app and unlocks a world of emulator goodness. My problem is that the mapping of various emulators gets all messed up whenever I put into the TV with microHDMI. It works no problem on the tablet itself - everytime. This is a major buzz kill because I want to see my SMB on the big screen.

Is this a known issue? Any help?

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hairdewx:
I don't see why it shouldn't work... My xbox 360 controller works fine when my TFP is connected through the micro HDMI... Although I have not tried all emulators through HDMI.

Which emulator is giving you this issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halloumi3:
Never had a problem with FPSe and my Sixaxis.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Maulds1989:
I've experienced no issues as well hooking straight up using MicroHDMI on my tv.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
I don't know what to say. DS3 works with tablet alone and instant microHDMI is plugged into TV - it stops working. The only thing that works post-plug in is left and right on controller. Help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Maulds1989:
Does it work with FPse, and or does it bug out with every emulator?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
Haven't tried with FPse, but does it with nes, snes and n64.

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
Update: The issue was sorted out speaking with the Sixaxis developer, Earl, and using the Touch Test application. Here's the last email from him:

"It's definitely changing the resolution when you plug the HDMI in - presumably to match the aspect ratio of the TV. If you used a screenshot to set up the profile, you could try taking another screenshot with HDMI connected (so that you capture the adjusted resolution), then move the buttons in the profile to match this new screenshot. It's not ideal, because you will need 2 profiles for each emulator or game you're playing. It's interesting, as I haven't seen this before. Usually the resolution on the TV is adjusted to match the tablet, not the other way around!"

He was right on the money. The

tablet

resolution was changing when plugged into the TV which caused the Sixaxis profile to

not

match-up. It's the extra black bar on the tablet that is causing the trouble. Like he suggested, I took new screenshots for each emulator, and created new Sixaxis profiles for when the tablet is plugged into the TV. Not the idea situation, but it only takes two seconds to switch between profiles, so no harm done.

Thanks Earl. Buy his app! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller

I hope this helps others with similar difficulties.

Cheers.

[HTC Sensation] qpqpqp:
If I restart my phone while it's plugged in to the wall charger would it be bad for the battery or the phone? I did notice after like 2 or 3 times of doing this the battery seem go down alot faster even while idling.

Also, I'm having problem with the "SDcard unexpectly remove" error when ever I try to extract/download or move large files around. I would get the message and lost access to my SDCARD until i take the sdcard out and reinsert it or restart the pone. Any1 know a fix?

If it help any i'm using INSERT COIN version 5.1.1 with ICS.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
I don't think it'll cause any physical problems. The battery going down quick is probably due to the battery stats being a bit messed up and then re-adjusting to the real level.

Try backup the contents of your SD Card, format it and then copy the contents back and put it back in.
[HTC Sensation] warhamstr:
Don't think so.

If it was harmful my Sensation should be death now :P did it so many times! No failure so far.

That won't damage your phone. The only caution I take when charging the phone is do not play, because my phone burns when do it.

Get a US credit card and you don't have a problem. The Kindle Fire is supported/distributed for the US only right now.

You can use it other places but you have to go through hoops to use it for media etc... there are other threads you can find out that information from.

Search is your friend...
[Kindle Fire General] shu_hayate09:
you actually can download books and magazines using a canadian credit card but you need a USA address

also, you can download ANY app on the android market by going to:

goodereader .c0m/apps on your kindle fire browser

that way you can download apps from the google marketplace without having the market on your actual ereader!

its pretty smart

You may be able to get a US prepay card, but don't be surprised if it doesn't work. Try contacting Amazon support too. You never know what they'll say...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wesside123:
Hello all,

I searched but found nothing along these lines (sorry if I missed it). I'm interested in knowing if there's been any development in porting the new Scribe features from HC to GB. It feels to me like GB runs a little better (quicker response for me at least) on the View and Flyer. I'm currently running CypherROM and it seems to be the fastest HC rom for the View, but not quite up to par as I'd like. That's no offense to the rom developer but more likely HC. For instance, I have lagging issues with Netflix with no background apps running. This is not a network issue.

The only reason I'm still on HC is for the Scribe functionality with the pen, because, let's face it, it is far better than it was in GB. I would like to use my pen to navigate through all the OS and not just in a few apps. Thanks for any help here! :)

I have rooted my desire z (about a half year ago) and now I am having a problem.

When I boot my phone my screen stays black during the phase that normally would show that htc logo and white background. And after that colors are weirdly blueish (it goes back to normal after I put my phone to sleep and wake it). Also bootloader is black (I know that it boots to bootloader because when I push vol- and the power it goes to clockworkmod). And clockworkmod is also weirdly blueish. I got this problem when I was trying that unofficial CM9 rom and I have used superwipe, tried several other roms and backups of other roms, but the problem don't go away. Any ideas how to fix this?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artsie:

Sadly, this will be of absolutely no help to us :( The kernel is practically useless to us, and since we are porting the ROM from Sensation XL, that is not required too.

[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
The company who owns clearwire (WiMaXX), actually is the beginning where LTE branched off and took its ideas and formed LTE, which in essence Clearwire actually started 4G, so every other carrier may have LTE but if sprint gets LTE they actually will be fixing AT&T and Verizon LTE Towers lol
[Epic 4G General] kryptoniteman:
What?
[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
Clearwire is the long form of the marketed "Clear"

Wimax is the name of it's technology, not Company name.

LTE is different, and not the same, although currently claimed to be capable of speeds far greater than Wimax.

As for the towers, no comment there, I do recall hearing that towers are shared by companies with only their "boxes" to seperate signals but I don't know myself.

P.S. Clear doesn't need Sprint, while it did generate money, they have bigger affiliates and Investors. The contract between the two Is ending is all. Intel is one of them They're doing excellent in MetroPolitan areas.
