[General Questions and Answers] ed.sinbk:
hi guys'n gals

I read on this site last week on how to stop activesync on my HTC touch cruise but it didn't work...the phone keeps connecting to the internet w/out me knowing it and my carrier DTAC [i live in BKK] keeps eating my money each time. And it will not sync to this XP computer at all so i have no backups.

So today I just went back into the Activesync options and unchecked the boxes which it was always trying to sync to...contacts/calender/e-mail and tasks. Now it deleted all of those.

HELP!! Please, please, there must be a way to get back my contacts/calender/e-mail and tasks. I've searched the forums and can't find anything relevant. I've also searched thru the phone's files system but to no avail...tho I am a self proclaimed tecknodork so...please help as there were a ton of contacts I'll never get back and my chemo appointments are kinda important too!

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm sorry if this has been covered before as I have no experience with Samsung yet (ordered the s3) but here is the thing.

When she is in a call and the phone is close to her ear, the phone may shut off the call. I suspect the 'call end' may be that is being pressed or something.

Is there a way to alter the face of the screen while you are being on the call so that this doesn't occur?

Thanks

This is not the issue with sgs2.

Unless you shut the proximity sensor.

[General Questions and Answers] Steve6569:
This was my first attemp to flashing a rom on my Samsung SGH-I777. My Phone was oringally rooted and flashed with the UnNamed rom. The unnamed rom was pretty solid daily driver, but I wanted to try something different. So I decided to give ShoStock a try. So far flashing my first rom with no bumps in the road thanks to what I have learned in the forums on XDA. The only question that I have to anyone that knows this rom is how do I make a folder in the application tray? I can make them on anyone of my screens but not in the application drawer.
[General Questions and Answers] Scott442:
You cannot make folders in the application draw using the free version of Apex launcher with comes with ShoStock2 ROM. If you purchase the Pro version of the Apex launcher you will be able to create tabs in the application draw which I find to be much more useful than folders.

i am running Rocko rom 3.0 and webtop+ 1.3 but it's done this ever since new and stock.

if i try to load a web page that has a decent amount off pictures firefox will close. now since going to rocko and webtop+ it will lock up my phone all together... even if i unplug the phone from the hddmi cale i will have to do a battery pull to get it to work again.

i thought maybe there wasn't enough free space in .osh to cache all the photos so i moved webtop to sd (8gb) and it still does the same thing. anyone have any idea what i can do to fix this?

edit: for reference this is a page that will cause my problem: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=695011&page=18
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Wow! The initial load of that page eats over 400MB of RAM on a regular PC. I had to set up a 500MB dedicated cache for Firefox to even get it to load in webtop. Webtop caches Firefox in RAM so wt2sd wouldn't fix it.

I could create a custom preference file with a massive dedicated disk cache for you of instruct you how to do it. The drawback is that webtop Firefox will run slower and be doing a lot of writes to some sort of flash memory. This may cause premature failure of either the internal memory or the SDCard depending on where the cache is put.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
i pretty much figured that is what the problem was. thanks for the offer to help but i couldn't imagine webtop being slower than it already is. i was hoping to just carry this phone and my mini bluetooth keyboard on a upcoming trip but i guess i'll need a net book or just take the time to post from my phone.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lysergic:
There are a few things (software) that really annoy me in the SII, anyone knows if they have been addressed in the SIII:

No text reflow in stock browser

click on location in calendar widget does not go to google map

cannot scroll to next month, etc in calendar widget

Picture taken by camera has nothing to do with what you see on screen

All software, all easily fixable if they bother...

/lys
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
the issues with text reflow arent an SGS issue, its an apk issue. the default browser just blows.. why are you using it anyway? Dolphin or Opera are the way to go man. and Opera Mobile has flawless text reflow

sorry the calender app is sucking for you, this one IS samsungs fault, maybe theyll fix it on the SIII, but you could always try a new calender app from the market.

pictures taken by camera has nothing to do with what you see on screen, HOLL@ yes this is fixed, its called "ZERO SHUTTER LAG" and it makes me veryyyy happy. what you see on screen when you snap a picture is exactly what youll see when you take a picture.

HOWEVERRRR, if you want a fix for your S2 right now, i got one. download Fast Burst camera app from the market, it can take like 20 pictures a second, and what you see IS what you get. rapidly snap the shutter button, or hold it down for a DSLR machine gun sounding shutter attack haha, this is the camera you wanna use to catch fast shots, like your dog jumping, or someone flipping a coin. things beast

GOOOOOODLUCK !@#$%^&
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lysergic:
Yeah, but what annoys me is that HTC phones have a great stock browser *with text reflow* and the calendar is brilliant.

Surely Samsung should address this usability issues before getting on the flashy gestures functionalities...

Also remember that Dolphin recorded and sent to the mothership the list of web sites you visited. They allegedly "corrected" that. But after such a security blunder I will never use their products again...

No stock browser can touch Opera Dolfin or Quick ICS. If you like stock you'll love Quick ICS

I use ICS+ Browser. Because I love the AOSP look more than Chrome.

To each their own.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddie:
The text reflow in stock browser was a setting you can change. If you go to your settings, there should be a "Auto-fit pages" that's unchecked by default (at least for Samsung ROMs). I think by default, it's checked for other phones/ROMs.

I haven't flashed my SGSII with the Samsung stock ICS ROM, so I can't speak to that... but it's there for all of the Gingerbread Samsung ROMs I had. (I'm currently on CM9).

I can flash back to a Samsung ICS ROM to verify.

UPDATE: I'm on the stock SGS2 ICS TW ROM, and verified: In the browser, hit the menu button, Settings, Advanced, Auto-fit pages. That will control if the text reflows or not.

Now the thing that irks me on SGSII (again with Gingerbread Samsung ROMs) is there's no touch-to-focus while taking a video. The HTC One X/S, iPhone, and Moto Razr has this feature, so not sure why Samsung left it out. I hope they put it in the SGS3 TW ROM.

It irks me that it's not in the Google stock ICS builds (CM9, built from source, GNex, etc). This is, of course, a problem stemmed from Google's own source code. All those nice features (pano, snapshot while videoing, but no touch-focus while videoing).

The video autofocus is not reliable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lysergic:
That option switches on text reflow only when you double tap to zoom. There is still no text reflow on pinch-to-zoom.

It's quite annoying when browsing forums and in general sites with lots of text content :(

I'll try Quick ICS, it sounds promising.

The thing is, I wanna get a SIII but I have to admit that between Sensation and SII the user experience for me was better on the sensation, it just felt tighter. It's the small things... I'll have a play as soon as it hits the shops!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddie:
Ah, I see. You're correct on that. Is this behavior also on the Chrome browser?

[Windows 8 General] Samwan:
Hi,

First of all, I didn't try windows8 until now, I just downloaded the ISO but I still have to work for 7 hours so there's a lot of time left till installation.

Most of you might have already tried it, so I thought you could give me a few hints about things the internet doesn't seem to care to much.

1. Keyboard usability

I am an hardcore-keyboard-guy. I prefer using ALT+KEY and things like that for lots of shortcuts to work faster... It depends on what program I am, I touch the mouse once an hour.

Since the new UI seems to be very touchscreen related, did microsoft miss some keyboard-only-workflow stuff inside windows8 or is it still like in 7?

2. Drivers

As far as stated on various different german websites, there should be a good driver compatibility between windows 7 and windows 8, can you agree with that? I have a few devices that must work on every OS I am currently sitting on, maybe some of you have the same and can tell me:

- AMD Radeon HD 7770 (already found catalyst for win8, should be no problem)

- Refine Cutter (never worked under win7, using it inside an XP VM, would be awesome if re-usable in win8, also I am not beliving in it.)

- HP LaserJet 5 P (Printer, old as dinosaur... still works under 7... I hope support won't be dropped in windows8)

- Xerox WorkCentre M128 Pro (Another old printer, still working under windows7 with some issues...)

- LightScribe device (I belive, it will work.)

That's it, maybe I am lucky and there is some random people here using the same hardware...
[Windows 8 General] Demaar:
I have an HP Deskjet 1050 and there are no drivers for it in Windows 8. I only got it a few months ago so it's a bit frustrating, but I imagine once it's officially released HP will get on top of it... or at least I hope so. I can't really comment on the others, but my 6970 is running along happily on the latest catalyst drivers. I can only imagine a newer card would be as well supported.
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
firstly drivers, most drivers will work ok, Win 7 drivers will in many cases work, the only thing I have found to be a pain just now is Audio drivers. I cant get my sound card to work at all despite the several different avenues ive tried.

If you have issues with win 7 drivers its usually because Win 8 version number doesn't appear in the INF files, in the past ive just added a new entry in to the INF file for Windows 8, then point that new entry to the windows 7 driver files. Its fairly straight forward stuff.....except for the bloody audio driver that is!!! GRR!

as for your first question

Keys are key in win 8 ( get it?!)

no seriously, everyone keeps banging on about Win 8 being touch this and that, but actually its fine without it, the whole concept of using a mouse is so cumbersome as you probably already know, If anything Win 8 has added to the keyboard abilities, using them makes it even better.
[Windows 8 General] jojojohnny05:
Knowing your keyboard shortcuts makes using win8 much easier to use. Mouse gestures like hovering over the side of the screen is more of a hassle compared to keyboard shortcuts.

I installed all the drivers I have on windows 7 to windows 8 and experienced no problems.

Let's not have everyone post their steps to flashing a rom. It is posted in the OP..for a reason. If you are unclear...we make ONE explanation. Not ten...ten leads to confused noobs and pissed off veterans...repetitive questions abound. I also say this because I have seen plenty of people posting WRONG methods to flash and they have partial root and are stuck.

Make this in BOLD. No matter how much long the post is...READ if fully....every single word. Reading first two lines and then claiming that yeah i have read but couldn't find any info is like calling upon the lightening strike on yourself.

e.g2

In Q&A one person got his note bricked because he directly flashed the CM9 from stunner. If alteast the person have the eyes to read the RED line written (to flash CM9 from GB) which needs to be followed and not crossed he would have not been staring at his shiny new paperweight !!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guitarplayerone:
@ OP:

I love that you put your time in writing this thread, but according to Entropy, ALL of the current ICS kernels besides DAFUQ and CM9 will cause problems with the emmc, at least in a certain fraction of users. This includes chainfire's kernels, and most others which are even involved in the flashing process.

It is my understanding that this implies that there is a certain amount of unnecessary risk of hardbricking at the moment regardless of flashing method.

The one exception I can think of off the top of my head has been the current CM9 install method, but that ROM is not currently fully stable.
