[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Hopefully it'll have the Exynos 5 Dual-Core processor (considering there's no chance of us getting the Exynos 4 Quad-Core processor).

If it's Snapdragon S4, then I'll have just have to compare the Evo 4G LTE and the Sprint's variant of the new GS3. Both of them having features I really like. The GS3 has a bunch of interesting gimmicks & accessories, removable battery, expandable storage, and a familiar way to root the device and install awesome ROMS on it. The Evo 4G LTE, on the other hand, has a better display, more Android-like, and overall a better UI (For the most part. I like the new GS3's lockscreen lol), and much cooler hardware design with a kickass kickstand (although, I like how the rounded edges of the GS3 resembles the Galaxy Nexus and even the Epic 4G. Wish the Evo 4G LTE was more like that)

Battery life could be a deal breaker for me too, considering the Evo 4G LTE has a 2000 mAh battery and the GS3 has a 2100 mAh battery. We'll see if there's any real difference.
[Epic 4G General] xboxfanj:
Is it just me or does the sgsiii look like microsofts ****ty KIN series?

Just the hardware, not the software.
[Epic 4G General] caileb:
It's just you - I think the GSIII looks amazing.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Check anandtech for performance numbers. I'd say industry leading gpu and top tier CPU.

I'm getting spam texts on my phone for the last two weeks, but I haven't added any new apps or signed up for anything. The texts are coming from email addresses, though. Is it possible to block texts that originate from an email account?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
Just reply back with stp or stop and it will
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 80centjack:
No it doesn't. It isn't from a phone number, it's from an email, so texting stop won't do anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
call your carrier tell em to block premium texts.
[Nokia Lumia 900] avengeryarr:
Okay so let me start off by saying that this is my first Windows Phone and I really love it (aside from the so-so camera). I went from a Captivate to the Galaxy S2 (loved both) to the iPhone 4S (awful, awful phone), and can say I might just be hooked on WP7. Anywho, I've found that I'm incapable of saving images from IE9 or the built in search app. Long pressing does absolutely nothing. I feel like the answer is something obvious that I happen to be overlooking, but searching gave me nothing. Any help?

EDIT- So after rebooting I got it to work in the web browser, but it looks like it's just not possible to do from the built in Bing search. Pretty lame on MSFT's part but whatever. Can a mod lock/delete thread? Sorry :(
[Nokia Lumia 900] harolds:
I get the menu option to save the picture from the browser.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kenikh:
Yeah, it is pretty lame that save pic doesn't work from the Search app. Works fine from the browser, so if I want to save something, I just use Bing from IE.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] light_n_roses:
Hi there!

One of the thing that I'm struggling with HTC is the fact that from the moment the have moved to android they have always put the black background on the all apps menu which isn't so beautiful. Is there anyway here who know if it could be possible to have, at least, the same background image of the home for the all apps menu?

P.S. And by the way I don't get why is not possible to customize the background iamge of the all apps menu, come on this was possible on windows mobile!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thesparky007:
i havent had a chance to look into sense 4.0 yet but in sense 3.0 all apps background was a color reference in the rosie apk > res > layout> all apps view .xml

you can edit the code to reference a wallpaper of your own

i was having trouble decompiling sense 4 files so didnt really look into it
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] light_n_roses:
sp do you think that I can also put a different background image from the one on the home screen ? It would be awsome!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] thesparky007:
yea you sure can, easiest is to make the background transparent so the home screen wallpaper is visible but you can surely make it reference an image
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] light_n_roses:
actually I have tried to open that file from a custom rom with sense 3.5, I have extracted the file with 7zip but it was not readable with notepadd...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SifJar:
Well of course, you extracted it with 7zip. Grab apktool or something else that can unpack APKs properly and decrypt the XMLs etc., use it to extract the APK and then you should be able to edit it easily enough.

EDIT: You'll also need to pull com.htc.resources.apk from /system/framework and install it with the command

apktool if com.htc.resources.apk

to properly decrypt the APK

EDIT: Although I can't find the XML referenced above in the Rosie.apk from my Sense 3.5 device...(HTC Explorer).

EDIT: In res\values\colors.xml I found a reference for a colour "all_item_background" which is #ff000000 (i.e. black), but it only appears to be used for as the colour for some text. Despite not really wanting to have a transparent background here, it's bugging me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stokaa:
Is it possible to have this background on all aps for galaxy y s5360
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SifJar:
Galaxy Y is a Samsung phone, so it doesn't have Sense. It has TouchWiz. So the launcher is different to the Sense one. It is almost certainly possible to do a similar thing, but it won't be done exactly the same.

I believe the TouchWiz launcher it called twlauncher.apk or something like that. Pull that file off your phone and use apktool to extract it, look in the XMLs in res\layout and try to find the background colour. It'll probably be #ff000000. You could try using something like grep to search for that in the folder to try and narrow down the possibilities.

Just a few thoughts that might possibly help.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] light_n_roses:
actually it would be nice to have the chance to put also a different image on background not just have the black background turn transparent so you can see the same of the home.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SifJar:
Well that is easily done once the right value is found in the right XML. It's find the value that is the tricky part.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] light_n_roses:
yea I see...have you made any progress with that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SifJar:
Nope, I gave up because I couldn't find it in the Rosie.apk from my device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breakthecycle2:
OK, strange problem. I have a Verizon GN. My gf just got the Sprint version. When she takes pictures or sends them via text, they automatically get uploaded to Picasa I think and Google +. She doesn't remember creating a Google +, but I think the first time you create a Gmail account it does it automatically. The problem is, there are pics that were only meant for me. How do we fix this and delete the pics from google + or google + itself??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Henrock11:
Go to settings ...accounts and sync and make sure sync to Google+ is unchecked. As for deleting them, u have to go into Google+ and delete them manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Epix4G:
Can u send some of those nudies to us....lol :D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Go into Google+ on the phone and disable automatic picture upload.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Go to the G+ app and tell it to not instant upload. While there, delete the ones that have been uploaded already.

The pics are 100% private when instant uploaded though. They will

not

be shared until you explicitly do so in the app/website.

Tell your GF to give you nudes in person IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breakthecycle2:
I actually figured it out. I didn't think the pics would become public. I ended up just deleting her account and unchecking instant upload. Thanks for your help.

When we break up, Ill post them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theSlack:
Classy.

I'll show her that post... then you'll be able to post the pics tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breakthecycle2:
Dude, it was a joke.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
the point... you missed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breakthecycle2:
Lol ****. I did! My fault!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theSlack:
Yeah. I was just carrying on the funny. No hate.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Anyone think that we'll see the improved touchwiz in our ics update? Looks better.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ajt1995:
I hope so! (Only if it does not slow the time we get ics though! :)

They need to hurry it up! ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Ya but will we get the new ability to talk to our phone and the eye tracking so that the phone does not lock while you are looking at? These are some of the new features on the S3
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Hehe it's the least they can do for the delay...I think that though once ICS comes out and the S3 comes out devs can port it, esp if we get dman the device :))

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
Hey guys, has someone a fitting dock for the Captivate Glide?

AFAIK there is no official one, but maybe the dock of another, more famous, Samsung phone does fit the Glide also.

Greetings Alex22
[Samsung Captivate Glide] EMegamanu:
Unfortunately, I think we are in lack of luck with the µUSB port on the top. This would constrain to put the phone horizontally on a dock with the docking on one edge.

This must explain the lack of docking station on eBay unlike the batteries' charging stations.

One alternative may be to reproduce this SGS mod : http://www.qianqin.de/2011/09/18/samsung-galaxy-s-wireless-inductive-charging-mod

But I don't know if it is possible with our Captivate Glide.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Here is 1 from Philips http://www.techradar.com/reviews/au...-systems/philips-fidelio-as851-1042940/review unfortunately our phone would be connected upside down. I wonder if there is an app that lets it work upside down?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
Back when I used CM for the HTC Dream, I always had the option to enable the screen to rotate 360°.

So I guess it's a ROM thing, but definitely makeable.

But anyways, that's a pretty hefty docking station, and with nearly 200 pounds it's nowhere near my budget.

Lets just hope there'll be more Android Dockingstations to come.

@EMegamanu: Thanks for the link, pretty interesting that you can mod a phone like that. But I'm too afraid and too inexperienced with solderings to mod my phone like that :P
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gtdRR:
Wow, that is impressive. I wish I didn't care about my warranty. Lol
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
This looks cool the Dock Boss allows you to plug your android phone into any Ipod dock:

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20110799-251/dockboss-plug-android-phones-into-iphone-docks/

OK I doubt it allows you to control the Next track and play/pause but it should charge and route the Music to the device. It plugs to your phones audio connector and the Micro USB to charge.

Here is another dock that looks interesting uses a cable to plug to an android phone so it does not matter where the connectors are located. It also has a nice little Remote:

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
I like the docking station from thinkgeek. The Price is okay, the design as well, the only thing that I would nitpick about is that you can't just put the phone into the dock, but have to connect both headphone and charging cable to hte phone.

Otherwise than that it's worth the weight for me.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] MnemonicSyntax:
You know, it's a shame that our phones seem to have a cult following almost. Many people don't seem to know about it either. Samsung did great, especially since keyboard phones are going the way of the dodo, and I use a keyboard for gaming and texting anyway.

My only complaint is that there's no hardware camera button, but that's not a deal breaker in the least.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pablo 13:
Really missing my Milestone dock.....its the only downside to this phone I can find.

I hate fishing for charging leads :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] nightbirddesigns:
The keyboard and the availability on my carrier made the decision for me. I do a lot of emailing from my phone, and the keyboard is just faster and more precise than even Swype style input options for me.

I did at first miss the hardware camera button from my old WinMo LG eXpo, it was very nifty, but it's not even an issue for me anymore. Is that a common thing among Android phones?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Bean can:
the galaxy s vibrant comes with a charging dock that uses the same corner usb connection. Unsure on the thickness of the phone in comparison to the vibrant though.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Yo_L2:
Well, I bought one to try out. Wasn't much, only $10 from eBay with the packaging or $13 new. Oh, I'm using a stock AT&T Captivate Glide on the latest update.

Physically, it's fine. Smaller than it looks, actually, covering about 9/10 of the length & 4/5 of the height. The depth is a bit more fudged, covering only the lower half of the slider, leaving the screen half hanging. The main issue is that although the plug is 95% on target, the 5% means you'd have to add a spacer to raise the rest of the phone up a bit. But it definitely attaches without trouble. Nice & compact.

EDIT: Driver: the charging works, though considering it didn't a few hours ago, I'm not sure what changed. Ah, the connector is a tad longer than what fits, so perhaps one must jiggle the phone a bit to get it to work? Though I tried that earlier, too....

Software/driver side is a flop. The Samsung Desk Home application from the marketplace (the generic one) doesn't work. So yeah, no automatic launching or sound out of the dock's line out. It's odd, since the settings has a dock setting in the settings, so something should work. I just wasn't able to find out what. I suppose the dock might have an identifier & the phone isn't coded in?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
which docking station did you get? that is 1 thing I don't understand with samsung, why do they make the micro usb connector on the top of the phone? It should be on the bottom, this would be simpler for docking stations to connect and less cumbersome having a wire to conect all the way to the top of the phone.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Yo_L2:
My mistake, I forgot it's difficult to locate. Here's the Galaxy S used version <ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-Multimedia-Dock-Home-Charger-/150629639833> & new version <ebay.com/itm/N-OEM-Samsung-Galaxy-S-4G-Multimedia-Dock-Home-Charger-/160616869990>. If you go through the store, there's the Vibrant & Galaxy S versions, but I'm not sure there are any differences.

Being a horizontal dock, your issue is not applicable, though it's certainly understandable.

Oh right, the clock application already has a dock function, but it doesn't activate upon docking & I couldn't get it to reroute the audio. It does prevent the screen from turning off, so I guess it's not too bad.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] pgunning1:
Hi would this work with the glue as a basic dock? not sure if the plug is in the right place for this mobile,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gal...UTF8&colid=2AOM2U1G0O9ZJ&coliid=I9O547D7LLW3P

if not aren't there any Samsung accessories that can be adapted for a dock to charge or hdmi out here's wishing lol.

Atb
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Yo_L2:
That is the amazon location of the dock I reviewed. Everything I've mentioned should apply.

I guess glue would work? As long as it's completely dry, naturally. I used three thin nails in three rows, taped down. Not the prettiest, but at least it matches the blue led.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] pgunning1:
Hi Thanks for that, where's the link to your review and why were the nails used just to stop it dropping forward of the front of the dock, were there any other mods needed to make it work.

Thanks

Paul
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Yo_L2:
The review is spread over two posts, two & four posts above my prior post with pictures.

I used nails as a spacer as the micro-USB port is a tad bit high. Everything else worked well, though the phone electrical connection to the dock may be finicky at times.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Nardholio:
I currently use an ihome desk lamp. The glide sits rather well in the ipod dock, but I have to supply my own power. I was eyeing this the other day too http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/ec56/

found it! SGH-i927 HTPC solution

here's what i think we've all been looking for:

this should be all you need to use your Captivate Glide as HTPC (or just use the dock on your night-table/desk, whatever)

iBolt™ MHL Streamer Dock - Black

http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.php?divid=Samsung&model=Samsung+Captivate+Glide+SGH-I927&cat=Cradles&skuno=94753

the only actual dock i've found that's listed as compatible with i927, and it comes with cables! i am SO getting that one of these days...

(actually, the compatibility list is quite large, i'm guessing just about any device with MHL will work with this dock)

i happened to find this site about an hour into googling for a glide dock... they have the widest range of sgh-i927 stuff i've found:

http://www.fommy.com/samsung-captivate-glide-sgh-i927.htm

and that's the only place i've found that sells the iBolt dock...

couple that dock with a Bluetooth kbd/mouse combo; something like this:

CE Compass Bluetooth HID Wireless Keyboard Mouse

*edit*

THIS little thing is AWESOME:

http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-touch-keyboard-k400

I picked one up on sale at Office Depot. Works GREAT and even has a home button.

After using this on windows pc's, android tablets and android phone (USB OTG), I HIGHLY reccommend it to anyone looking for a keyboard with integrated touchpad.

two finger scrolling in windows and android works great.

in case you don't have an hdmi monitor, just an HD hdmi to dvi adapter for ~$5

(if you have to go DVI, chances are you'll need an audio cable to connect to your audio device. for example, my tv is older and doesnt do audio over DVI, but the DVI input has RCA audio inputs right beside it; so i would use a 3.5mm to RCA cable.

Or you may want to run from phone headphone jack to audio line in on your home theatre audio receiver.

Chances are if you need seperate audio cable, either 3.5mm to RCA or 3.5mm double-ended cable would be what you need.)

so that's about $100 to use your phone as a desktop computer or HTPC as well. :cool:

I can't wait to try this on my 60" DLP tv....
[Samsung Captivate Glide] scotte9999:
FWIW, using the soft-side of velcro, cut into a thin strip works really well. I used black velcro (with a sticky backing on it) on two of these docks for my wife's Glide, and it looks nice and works good. For $13 on eBay, it's a nice cheap way to get a desktop dock.

Update: For some reason, the phone no longer charges when inserted all the way into the dock (slid left until it stops). Pulling the phone out a tiny bit lets it charge. I'm going to put a little shim on the left side and see if this works. Not sure what changed (a few more cable insertions/removals, to debug CM10.1, but nothing more than usual really), but it happens on 2 docks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] XavierDery:
No dock? What can we do about these cables then...

Look up a post titled "Top 10 Ways to Get Cables Under Control" on Lifehacker, many ideas and solutions ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pablo 13:
I have a little sticky cable clip now that holds my charging lead for me, but will actually be looking far another dock for my new phone.

Searched high and low on XDA and Google and could not find anything related to my particular issue. I'm running CM7 RC1 with Gingerbread 2.3.7 It seems like the problem is mostly occurring when I long press a contact to call or message, not when I take the longer route and tap the contact photo to the right on the contact info, then tap the phone icon and select which number to call....However I slightly remember there being a setting in the "CyanogenMod Settings" that stated something like "this setting may cause a lot of FCs" I just can't remember which setting it was... Here is the FC I'm getting:

The application VZ Navigator (process com.vznaigator.DROIDX2) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Wipe dalvik cache in recovery.
[Motorola Droid X2] DeathByDroidX2:
Thank You!!

Thanks for the reply! I will try that, one question though. During the CM7 Install dragon said to wipe dalvik cache, can't remember when exactly in the install he said to do so but I followed the instructions EXACTLY, since then haven't had any problems whatsoever but this...Anyway, when I boot into recovery it doesn't actually said "dalvik cache" it just says "wipe cache partition". Is that the same thing? Also, I just recently flashed CM7 for the second or 3rd time as I had a problem with my primary gmail password yada yada...so now I have everything set up how I want in and now I'm moving on to Titanium Backup settings and freezing some apps (I am aware of which one I should and should not freeze) but being that I don't even use VZNAVIGATOR wouldn't it be wise to just freeze it? Thanks again so much for your help, wiping cache now....
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
To wipe dalvik cache go into the advanced section in bsr... Dalvik cache is listed there.
[Motorola Droid X2] DeathByDroidX2:
Wiped Cache Partition

So I booted into recovery and wiped the cache partition and rebooted. Everything seemed fine except that my roaming triangle icon was blinking so I connected to my wifi and my service came back. Then I did the *228 thing and updated my roaming capabilities, all is well with the service now. After that before I tried exiting out of my contact/dialer etc. I got the VZNAVIGATOR FC again. Going to try to freeze it in TB. Anymore suggestions would be much appreciated. :D

CM7 Android Recovery

when I open the CM7 Android Recovery app, (I already have it installed) and tap Recovery Mode, the phone shuts off and doesn't boot into recovery mode. So even after I manually power it up and open the CM7 Android Recovery

app and try to install first, then tap recovery mode, it does the same thing...any ideas??
[Motorola Droid X2] DeathByDroidX2:
My Apologies...

Sorry for all the questions. I research XDA and found that I need to have it plugged into the A/C. So now I was able to boot into recovery and wipe the Dalvik Cache. Thanks so much again, I will repost if it works.
[Motorola Droid X2] DeathByDroidX2:
Problem Solved!!

Thanks for the useful information! Very much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] Triscuit:
Personally I would get rid of VZ Navigation and use Google navigation its much better. That's just my 2 cents!
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
He wasn't using VZ Navigator, it's just that if you flash over something (in this case the stock rom) without wiping the dalvik cache, there are bits of apps left over that you will see spontaneously force closing.
