Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisivekeith:
On such a beautiful screen of the Note, it's a little disappointing that the videos within browser or any videos except on YouTube, are pixelated. Is it because of Flash, or this is normal? The videos on YouTube are a joy to watch in HD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GEX THE GECKO:
I use skyfire videos play fine however you need to pay for the license unless you used skyfire from the start then you get it free :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisivekeith:
Thanks, but I am wondering whether the issue is the screen itself or playing videos within browsers, be it opera, boat browser, or dolphin hd.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GEX THE GECKO:
Ar i get ya well if i remember right you get a 3day trial of skyfire so why not check it out.if vids play fine with that then its not your screen,

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NMGxda:
I was thinking that, if the NOOK knows what apps come from the store and which ones don't, when you try to install an un-B&N app, there must be a line of code somewhere in the .apk file. Would it be possible t add that certain line of code (anybody know what it is?) and masqurade it as a B&N app?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No, it's not a line of code in the apk. There is a database file associated with the home app that gets updated with the apps data when you buy it. Then it shows in the home app. Why did you want to masqurade as a B&N app? So it would show in the home screen?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NMGxda:
Reply

I have an un-rooted Nook that can only run B&N apps. Also, I just finished skimming over a book on developing android apps, and I think the apps from the Nook Shop may be digitaly signed by B&N. Does anybody know what info they would use to sign it. I know there's:

1. Persons name (???)

2. Orginizational unit (???)

3. Orginization name (probably "Barnes and Noble" or "Barnes & Noble")

4. City ("New York City")

5 State ("NY")

6. Country ("US")

What would be in the first two "feilds"?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That is not right. They do not sign or change the apk in any way. I have searched through the entire apk. I bought an app, and moved the apk to my other androids and it ran fine. B&N is just changing a database on your Nook to tell it what you bought and is ok to run and if not in that database, home will not run it. I suggest you root your stock if you want to run sideloaded apps.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NMGxda:
OK. Thanks anyways.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjuric_inova:
Hi,

I am hoping somebody will be able to help me with an issue I am having for the last couple of day or at least give me some new pointers where to start digging more.

I am trying to connect an USB Webcam (tried with several of them) using OTG to GT-i1000 (SG2) in order to achieve something similiar like this guy - unable to post a link but if you google for "Usage of USB webcam with customized Galaxy Nexus (android 4.0.3)" the first couple of links are pointing to it, but sadly with no luck. I have read

tons of material, blogs, etc, but nobody seem to have the same issue. The problem is that after a couple of seconds my device (webcam) gets disconnected "due to inotify event" - see the bellow logcat trace:

D/EventHub( 3704): No input device configuration file found for device 'Vimicro USB 2.0 PC Camera (Venu'.

I/EventHub( 3704): New device: id=13, fd=263, path='/dev/input/event9', name='Vimicro USB 2.0 PC Camera (Venu', classes=0x80000001, configuration='', keyLayout='/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl', keyC

haracterMap='/system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm', builtinKeyboard=false

I/InputReader( 3704): Device added: id=13, name='Vimicro USB 2.0 PC Camera (Venu', sources=0x00000101

I/EventHub( 3704): Removing device '/dev/input/event9' due to inotify event

I/InputReader( 3704): Device removed: id=13, name='Vimicro USB 2.0 PC Camera (Venu', sources=0x00000101

I have tried a couple of different roms, kernels, my own custom kernels (based on ICS, Gingerbread, Siyah), currently tested with the latest CM9 and Siyah kernel. Tried with different OTG cables (cheap, original Nokia, DIY cables), hubs, Y cabel (even one IY). They all seem to work with a mouse, keyboard, external hard drives, printer, etc but with none of the webcams. The power should not be an issue as the device gets enough external power and no messages in logcat or dmesg are relating to current / voltage issues.

I guess I am missing something as the guy did achieve it on Nexus.

I narrowed it down to uvcvideo, as if I build it as a module and don't load it, the cam is attached (visible through lsusb, USB Host controler), but as soon as I load it using insmod, the above message get displayed and the device is removed.

Any help is very appreciated.

Thanks, S !
[HD Mini General] BLACKDEV1IL:
Hi all!

I have a problem installing CM9 4.04 ICS for my mini. Now, I have in my mini photonic CM 7.2 from schlund and I've read the instructions that jomaga posted in the thread "[ROM] CM9 4.0.4 ICS HTC HD Mini [30.May.2012]", but when I enter in the bootloader mode, it says ENTERING FASTBOOT MODE and then nothing else happen. Why this issue? I hope someone can help me :)

Thanks to all devs working in HD mini, great work!
[HD Mini General] ci6i:
It's ok, you are in "fastboot mode" and you can connect usb cable to PC.

There is no other fastboot screen, it only says "entering..." but you are there already :)

Is there any tutorial for CM9?

Thank you very much.

You should run update.bat from archive to install lk bootloader and touch recovery.

After that, install rom, google apps and rom-updates from recovery.

Running MyUI Euphoria, absolutely GREAT rom. I'm new to this stuff by the way. When I was at stock, I had no problem with AT&T signal (3g) or wifi anywhere, especially at home. Now, at home (only) I have either G or no bars at all. Cannot connect to wifi anywhere. I love this ROM, but if I have to change to another, I don't mind, but have no idea what would be better than this, or how can I fix this.

And, if I have to change ROMs, do I just flash the new one over this?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
What have you tried to fix this? Have you researched your issue by searching? Tried different modems? Your question is not unique, there have been many threads on it, go through the stickies and see what you can find.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jappel2:
I haven't tried anything, hoping to be directed, like I said a noob with this stuff.

But I understand what you mean.

Here's another question, if you don't mind. The nightlies. Do I download those and install for an update, or do they have nothing to do with MyUI Euphoria? Also, when you install a nightly, does it (like any normal update) just write over what you have and install the updates, or do you install it as a new fresh rom?

Appreciate your patience with this lowly grasshopper.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
I have no idea. Could you post a link to the ROM thread from Development? I'm not familiar with MyUI Euphoria as a ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
It seems like My UI runs has their own nightlies, unfortunately I lack a computer and 1 of the links appears dead other 2 are in French and my mobile browser is having a hard time translating it. Thing is there is no way to know unless you find the nightlies change log and see a commit on your specific issue. It seems to me though that it be easier to just check modems first... Just my 2 cents
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infyx:
I had to test around 10 different modems before finding one that worked on the ROM I am using.

Search for various different modems. With any luck you can find a post from some one in your area who already had good luck with a modem.

Google for "Captivate modem ics" (I can't post links yet...), first result is the one you want. Soggycashew.

Or the other link provided if its not ICS (I don't know anything about that ROM)

Also on the link they have a map with various results using different modems.

Swype

Is Swype available on stock fw, if yes how could it be activated?
[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
It's all in the first post! It's kind of like a cut down version, it's a mash up of the samsung keyboard and swype.

I have installed the swype beta, and while on the s3 the swype keyboard height is about a third shorter than other keyboards I still prefer it over the stock.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
If you want a real swype experience then your better off applying for the beta, the version in the s3 is very limited.
[Galaxy S III General] Plexicle:
For some reason the Swype installer doesn't work on mine. When I run it, I get a parsing error.
[Galaxy S III General] stripealipe:
I'm quite liking the built in Samsung 'swype' feature. But then i'm new to this kind of input, but it's def quicker and more accurate for me than using the standard way. My girlfriend loves Swiftkey on her GSII though and i may try that at some point.

In regards to tips, when in the contact list, you can swipe along the right hand side and flick through the alphabet quicker, as usual, but if you push your finger further left while doing this it will then narrow the search even more.

Hope that makes sense!
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
I won't include that in the first post as it is not s3 specific. But thanks anyway
[Galaxy S III General] musafir84:
@LennyUK How about including how to activate Direct Call & Smart Alert as it's deactivated by default.

Go to Settings -> Motion -> Direct Call / Smart Alert

Does anyone know how and where Tap to Top works?
[Galaxy S III General] Smartphoner:
After activating it from motion settings, gently double tap on the top of the phone to go to the top of a list, unfortunately it only works in contacts and email. Another thing is that it sometimes needs more than one trial to work! :(
[Galaxy S III General] musafir84:
Thanks! And you are right... It does indeed take more than once to work...

Install call vibrate from market to allow vibration when call is activated or deactivated
[Galaxy S III General] sak500:
Must install Light flow from market as well. It uses the LED function of SIII to max. You can customize 8~9 colors for various alerts. e.g i use orange for low battery, red for missed calls, green for missed sms, white for charging, green for full charge, blue for no signal etc.

Although sometimes the charging light doesn't come on when playing around with phone and switching it to sleep mode but hopefully fix will fix this issue.

Must have app though :)

I managed to get Swype installed on my stock Pebble Blue.

Got Swype Installer & attempted for about 10 times over Wifi before it finally started downloading.

Before that, I kept getting the "Parsing.." error.

There was nothing new / different in my attempts - just had to keep hammering at it to download. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] Murdhie:
Just found these neat tricks on http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii-review-757p3.php

"There's one more trick - you wake the phone (tap the power button or the home key), then press and hold the screen and rotate the phone horizontally. It will unlock and start the camera as soon as it's in the right orientation to snap a photo"

"Shaking the device lets you detect nearby Bluetooth devices, as well as update your email, news or weather apps."
[Galaxy S III General] Hagis2k:
Light flow is really nice but it didn't work as i wanted it to...

after install and reboot of the phone all suddenly it started to speak if i opened a folder or closed one so i had to remove it for a while lets hope the developer will fix that bug lol :)
[Galaxy S III General] Smartphoner:
A great alternative!!

Touchpal keyboard is an awesome alternative for swype.

Download it from playstore.
[Galaxy S III General] JSale:
If anyone's phone feels a little sluggish (I know mine doesn't) you could try enabling 2D hardware acceleration to make it a bit more snappy

[Galaxy S III General] sitnamzug132:
One of the LauncherPro features I always loved was being able to hide apps in your app drawer. This is now possible with TouchWiz. Just open the app drawer and hit the menu button, select 'Hide Applications', put a check mark next to the apps you don't want to see, and press 'Done.' It's great for hiding default email/messaging apps and browsers if you prefer a 3rd party app.

To un-hide the apps, same procedure - open app drawer, hit menu button, then select 'Show Hidden Apps' and select the apps you want to see back in the app drawer.

Yes, you can connect the S3 to any HDMI TV/monitor via an MHL cable. This connects via the micro USB port on your phone to the HDMI on your TV/monitor.

Word of warning though....for some reason Samsung have chosen NOT to use a standard MHL cable on the S3, so if you buy one make sure it is for the S3.

I've ordered one...still waiting for it to arrive though.

There are a few videos of it in use on youtube...here's a decent one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFFETPU_kjo&feature=relmfu

How do you turn on the voice operation in the camera? So you say 'Capture' or 'Cheese' and it takes the picture?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] Beards:
or "Shoot".

I find "Capture" is quite Hit & Miss.

"Cheese" & "Shoot" works best for me.

I use it all the time when I don't want to rely on the Self-Timer.

Great when you have a group of people together and you wait until all are ready then say "Cheese" or "Shoot".

CLICK...... Job done. :)
[Galaxy S III General] AndyCr15:
That's great... thanks... so... how do you enable it? :)
[Galaxy S III General] Beards:
Settings/Language and Input/Voice cmd for Apps ~ put the slider to the right and it will light up Green.

If u drag the notification bar to the bottom and keep holding on to it for 3 secs and then release, the tray automatically returns up, helpful if only u just want to check on the notifications.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

Totally agree, Lightflow is really handy. To add to that, I like to 'group' certain functions together with a specific colour and then use the flash rate to distinguish between the notifications.

For example, have Google Talk / WhatsApp / SMS notifications in blue, but set the flash rate to slow / fast / fastest respectively. They differ enough to easily figure out what's what and this way you free up a few colours.
