I did the Dead Pixel Test and see no bleed from the buttons but I noticed something else... with certain colors there's a vertical line that is either a slightly different shade of the color or changes after the screen has already changed color, delayed color change, so to speak.

Anyone know the reason for this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monty Burns:
Hey guys

I want to put a shortcut in the four home button slots and so I've deleted the "internet" icon from there but now I have no idea how to get Dolphin shortcut to it. I've tried some answers through google for other phones but none that I have found seem to work, any ideas please?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laum:
First drag shortcut to desktop and then to the bottom bar.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monty Burns:
Oh! Just worked, thank you! My screen didn't have any spare desktop (didn't know this was needed). Sorry for being so stupid :D:D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pellajl:
Has anyone noticed that this no longer works after recent OTA updates.

For some reason Samsung has locked the bottom bar and you can't change it any more. Well done Sammy!!

Does anyone know of any back doors or utilities that can be used to get around this issue?

Depends on what you want.

Chances are, what you want is not what I want, so you pick one and I'll pick the other.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aiwapro:
I went with the SG SII, mostly because I have T-Mobile, and the Galaxy Nexus only supports HSPA+ 21, which the SG SII supports HSPA+ 42. That's quite a big difference. I have gotten over 21 down on the HSPA+. I was getting similar speeds on the HTC Amaze, which also supports HSPA+ 42, so I didn't want to lose data speeds in going with the Galaxy Nexus. I have had the white SG SII for almost a week, and it is awesome. I have no complaints. I am stock, with the latest maintenance updated, and rooted mostly just to restore by apps. with Titanium Backup.

The 5MP camera on the Galaxy Nexus would have been a downgrade from the 8MP on the HTC Amaze I had, also.

Lastly, I was eligible for an upgrade, so the SG SII was more than $200 less than the Galaxy Nexus from the Google store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jester_Jeff:
probably depends on what your carrier is. they are both good phones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] warrior24:
i have the galaxy s2 right now also and no doubt it's an amazing phone.....but i was wondering if i should sell it and get the galaxy nexus....i mean the camera is a down grade but the screen on it is an upgrade...they both obviously have their pros and cons

Im trying to unlock the bootloader via linux. Ive got the derpunlock.sbf flashed. When i load the fastboot unlock command it stays stuck on waiting for device and will not go any further. Any help?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dito33:
Make sure you are in right mode fast boot (volume down + power ) from cold start, volume down again to find fast boot and volume up to select. Also make sure you have all the drivers installed prior all these.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MrWhite1127:
The device is in rsd and the comp recognizes the phone otherwise i wouldnt be able to flash. Could it be a bad fastboot?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] auxorro:
Hi, I think this is my first post here. Anyway, here the question:

I have an Ideos X5 (not pro), it is bricked. So far, I have followed instruction for recoveries from several threads, but none of them worked because in my phone:

there is no boot screen

there is no pink screen

there is no logo

there are no images of any kind (screen wont even turn on)

it only vibrates when I plug it into my computer

Also *sometimes* the buttons light up and when this happens windows detect a new USB device, but after I while it dissapears again. Also, this happens only with the battery on.

The phone became bricked after I followed instructions to revert back to froyo from gingerbread (wifi wasn't working). All roms were originals from Huawei.

So, any suggestions??

Thanks in advanced.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tmp341:
I had a problem like you.I have deleted amss.mbn file because Huawei locked pink screen, it was bricked :D But i wasn't so patience enough, i sent my phone to technical care.But here are the answers, try it with caution:
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Tried taking off the battery for 10 seconds and after that inserted USB into computer (without battery)? Also try to take off battery and insert USB to wall-charger.

The buttons lighting up could be our way out, but if it only stays there for a couple of seconds it doesn't help. Can you see what Windows detects?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] auxorro:
Hi again,

thanks for answering.

None of your suggestions worked anyway, because it won't even load anything from the sdcard, it just makes a short vibration and nothing more.

I managed to get the lights on again, but windows didn't show what kind of device it was, maybe because it's already installed but I'm not sure which usb device is it (windows did make a sound though, like "device is connected" sound). Also I noticed there's a red led blinking near the speaker, does that mean anything?

Anyway, tried to flash while the lights were up but it did nothing, and after two minutes the went off again.

Thanks again for your suggestions.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] auxorro:
I connected the phone to my laptop with ubuntu, and despite I cannot do anything with the phone, there are two devices created in /dev: hiddev0 and hidraw0. Is there a way to flash the device using any of those files?

thanks again.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tmp341:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] XphX:
Try mounting those two devices, is there any file system recognized? It might not be bricked, but this is an issue probably nobody has had yet. Send it in for repair if it is still within warranty.

Important question: How did this even happen?

XphX
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] auxorro:
Hi,

thanks for all the help.

Sadly nothing works with this phone, I tried mounting and dd from the devices but nothing happens.

I guess I'll send it for repair (hope it's still within warranty)

Anyway, thanks again for all the suggestions.

Bye!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tmp341:
If the phone wasn't rooted, then it is still within warranty ;)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] tamelion1117:
Just wanted to write this to say that I have seen and know of some people belittling and making others feel like crap, especially when they’re trying to learn. Frankly, it’s all uncalled for. We are all learning one day at a time and yes, some know more than others but there is no need to hold your knowledge over the heads of others and make them feel stupid. Even if you think you’re giving advice, try to use some tact and be friendly with the way you do it.

I think of this as a community and it’s a place for people to come together and learn together. At least that’s what I thought the point of all of this was. This isn’t directed toward anyone in particular, so don’t assume I’m talking about you or someone you know. Think of this as just a general reminder to play nice.

I know I’m most likely going to get bashed for this, but I don’t care. I feel that this needed to be said! :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emottau:
Im flashing an epic (root, rom, and to cricket from sprint) for a friend of mine and talk work fine but internet is not functioning dispite the 3g symbol being present. when i enter and edit the values (username, ha, etc.) In the ##3282# menu it doesnt reset the phone when through and what ever i changed reverts back to the previous value. I.e., the username remains (customername)@sprint.com. any one have a clue of how to either fix this issue or another way to change the values? Ive tried everything i can think of to no avail. Qpst, cdma workshop, and even tried the multiboot fc09 from the sd. Ive serched this forumas well as several others and cant see3m to find any applicable info.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris41g:
you need to go back to an older stock rom/modem/kernel combination.. then ##72786# or a ##786# before you start.

the first one wont mess with any "repairs" you may have made previously. but will wipe data settings to factory.

then you should be able to edit those settings at will, and I suggest QPST.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:

And my advice would be to use stock EC05 (Rom AND modem) or prior. Never had much luck with this sort of project on anything after EC05. Once you're all working, then flash whatever you like. Will need to fix MMS again after flashing a rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] raju_a:
I am unable to Factory Reset my Motorola Photon. Whenever, I try to reset it wipes data & settings upto May 12, 2012. It would not delete/wipe anything prior to that date.

I have tried the following

1. Factory Reset method in the Settings-->Privacy

2. Android Recovery Method

3. Formatting internal storage

But still the handset returns to the state as it was on May 12, 2012. It has the call logs, data, apps updates etc. as on May 12, 2012. Everything after that stands deleted.

Also noticed that whenever I power off my device it returns to the May 12,2012 state.

It seems something like everything prior to May 12, is permanent and could not be wiped. While everything post May 12 is temporary which is wiped out if the device is powered off.

Can some one help me.

Kindly help me.

Thx

Sent from my mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] raju_a:
What is that and how to do that
[Motorola Photon 4G] raju_a:
Guys,

Help needed for the above problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] JustWorksTechnology:
Hello, what he is pertaining to is this fastboot commands wipes ALL user data that is stored on your device. But in order to do so, you must have Android SDK installed.

If you have done so and have the Android SDK set up. Follow the directions below for the "fastboot -w" command.

1. Power off your device completely, when it is completely powered off... Hold the VOL DOWN key and power button until you see Fastboot.

2. Hook up your Photon device via USB cable and once it is connected... Press the VOL UP key on your Photon to start the Fastboot Protocol.

3. Open up a command prompt window and navigate to your Android SDK folder. (e.g. C:\Android-SDK\tools) You might need to use the "cd.." command to get back to C: then cd to your Android SDK folder.

4. Type in "fastboot -w", without the quotes and it will wipe your Userdata and cache partitions. After that, type in "fastboot reboot" to reboot your device.

Hope this helped. Good luck. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] raju_a:
No Response

After putting my Photon in the fastboot mode I connected it to the PC but it was not recognised. As when i hit the command fastboot -w it gives msg "Waiting for Devices"

Are there any separate drivers.

Thx

Is really cool.

Thought I would post this here since the inc2 is my current phone. Not sure if it has been discussed yet.

I downloaded the siriusxm app about a month and a half ago. I sign up for the one week free trials alot whenever there is a special broadcast that I want to hear using my emails or a disposable email through 10 minute mail. I have mainly used it on my pc where the trial expires after a week.

Well last time I signed up I did it through the free trial button on the app itself. After 1 week I got a popup that said your trial has expired click here to subscribe. So instead of hitting ok I hit the back arrow to exit the app. I opened the app again and it has been working for almost 2 months now nonstop. I play it all day at work for 8+ hours and I use the same login on multiple devices (droid inc1 and 2, 2 droid eris and an acer iconia a500 tablet) No popups or problems at all.

Just thought Id share.

It not a hack or a mod really just a glitch in the app so I figured it would be cool to share my experience. i have told about 10 people so far who are all really thankful and enjoying it while they can.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] brymaster5000:
Awesome. I love it in my car but didn't want to pay thw extra for the phone. I will have to try.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ddarvish:
what version of the app are you using? you mind uploading and sharing the .apk with us?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ddarvish:
also does anyone know how the app identifies a user as having used the trial or not? is it by email address, rom, android phone id, phone number, meid? it would be nice to know so that it can easily be modified or spoofed. i already pay for this **** in my car. i dont get why i gotta pay for it again to hear it at home..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ryryrocco:
I just downloaded the app from the play store

as stated above I use it on multiple devices

2 droid eris phones

1 droid inc

1 droid inc2 and

my acer a500 iconia tab

as well as my netbook and pc

all on the same free trial that I used 10 minute mail for a disposable email address

singed up using my first name and only last initial

it has now been working for over a month and a half after my free trial was suppossed to end on all my devices :D

I have told lots of people about it and it is the same outcome for them as well.

Just thought I'd share my story.

Although 1 coworker said it worked on her computer and android phone but not on her ipod. HA!!! :p

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narmy:
I have the exact same problem. I have a 2 year old Toyota Camry with a Toyota factory built-in car kit and since switching to the galaxy s3 nobody can hear my end of phone calls.

I can use the car kit to listen to music from the s3 and can even control the music with pause/stop/previous/next buttons from the carkit, but the problem is the microphone is dead.

The bluetooth connection actually takes the microphone function away from the phone over to the car kit, but then doesn't work... Previously I was using a HTC Desire and had no problems at all with the same setup...

I've tried unpairing the devices several times, but to no avail.

I'm not sure what to do next, but I can't change the car kit as it is a factory one and actually works really well with every other phone except for the galaxy S3.

Any help would be much appreciated. Taking the car back to the factory is quite annoying, I'm hoping there's an easier fix that can be done on the phone...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apemonkeyman:
Works fine in my UK Honda Civic 2007. Does clash though with my HTC Car A100 bluetooth bridge - works fine on its own but the Media Audio pairing seems to stamp all over the Call Audio pairing so I am wondering if the S3 has a bug with splitting the 2 audio connections between 2 devices.

Could it be that you're hearing your caller through "Media Audio" & thus they are unable to hear you cos the pick-up mic on the phone is too far away/being noise cancelled instead of routing through the car's hands-free mic & being treated as "Call Audio" as it should?
