hm, have you tryed MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition - (Windows free Program) ?

-> best way is to install 4ext Recovery - you can do it on your handy - there is the possibility in recovery mode to repartition the sd card - but you lose your data on your sd when you repartition !!

The new Music app has the Music Square feature that for the life of god I cannot figure out how to get working. I understand you're supposed to press a square and generally get a personalised playlist out of it, but any attempt of interacting with the square just tells me that 'Selected list is empty'. Anybody else running into the same issues?

Hi guys,

I realized that it will only recognize your songs if you stored it in your phone instead of memory card.

If anyone find the ways to make it work for songs in memory card, please share!!

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp3por:
sooo - i had the same problem and that's how i fixed it :) go to music player, than choose musicsquare after that press the options Touchbutton and choose "update library" - after it is done the music square should run perfectly :)

I do not have a SD card so do not know if the issue with recognizing songs only in internal memory is only with your device since i can not test it :) ... sorry

i cant get this thing to work at all and i doubt anyone else with a sizeable music collection can. for all those people saying put your music in the phone memory - where is the stuff from the phone memory going to go? the purpose of an sd card is to store your media on so that you dont fill your phone.

Worked for me on External SD

Hi Guys: just downloaded over 300 songs from my Amazon Cloud player and transferred them via USB to my SD card under what Windows Explorer called "SCH-I535" (with small mobile phone icon) and the Card-->Music. I copied all the folders.

Then started the Samsung Music Player and the Music Square found all of the songs and analysed them for where they sat within the four axis. Very interesting app--since it's my music, this is a cool way to get a bit of a surprise of what pressing a square will bring. But it did miscacluate one of my driving trance songs as "calm".

An S3 reviewer said this about it: "You can drag your finger across the squares to choose a 'progressive' playlist based on your mood...this is a really nice way of making a playlist from your tunes." So I dragged my finger in a square and it presented a list of 22 songs that "matched" these squares moods.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxwel1:
Honestly, music square is not always working properly and alot is mistaken and play songs that are not related to the mood at all and personally I hate when it plays a song that not works wirh my mood which frustrate me , like sometimes I play smooth tunes while having a nap on my ride in bus and suddenly it turns to play some hard tune that differ from mood I selected so I honestly prefer creating my own playlists by myself.

For those of you who use this, how effective is it vs titanium backup?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Stv1a:
5 stars

Imho it is the gold standard.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bernechad:
It works fairly well. Remembers apps, different settings like wifi spots, bookmarks.

For app specific data, it's hit or miss. Mainly because it's up to the developer to decide if they want to include their app in the backup service.

That being said, I use titanium 99.9% of the time, just so I know for sure that my app data is being saved.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bighuta:
Thanks for the replies. TB used to be reliable, but now I've found restoring data is hit and miss; can cause many fc's.

I'll go ahead and try Googles backup system i guess
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bernechad:
Really? I don't think I've ever had a fc through titanium.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bighuta:
I flash quite a bit, especially with my old epic 4g. Went from gingerbread stock to CM9 to AOKP often. When restoring data for certain apps, it can cause issues
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bernechad:
I've personally run it from eclair to ics, on hero, droid, nexus one, evo, evo shift, thunderbolt, transformer, transformer prime and now evolte. stock, fresh, viper, miui, aokp, evervolv, revolver, cm and never a fc. I'm pretty sure the problem would be with the apps themselves, not titanium.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jirafabo:
Google backup? Where and how?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
It's not an app its just the backup option in the phone itself. I dont have my phone in front of me but its somewhere in the settings where you can check a box that allows google to backup and restore your apps and settings if you have to factory reset.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Dannydeez:

This is how I always trouble-shoot my GPS problems.

1. make sure gps.conf ntp server is changed to match your country.

2. try a few different modems.

3. turn gps off then on in each test. sometimes my GPS doesn't work first time (in this case there will be no sats showing in gpstest)

Make sure you are in a open area and use angrygps or gpstest to see how many sats you are getting and whether they are locking.

When I flashed ICS I couldn't get any lock until I changed modem (currently using JV5 from the latest JW6 rom. But I also got it to work fine with JVU.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pika007:
Hi everyone

This is not really a development or software related story, but i had a feeling you'd still like to see it.

So, a few days ago, i received my new N7000 i ordered from Expansys USA. Love the device, perfect for my needs in every way.

After a bit of usage, i noticed that the speaker sounded a bit off, and had a really crackling/jarring sound in high pitch. I knew the speaker in the note is not the greatest ever, but this was really not what i was expecting. even the clicking noise when you choose something sounded so bad i had to reduce system volume to 20%

So, i decided to go down to the root of the problem.

Looking at the speaker grill, i noticed something shiny underneath it

(hard to see, but notice the holes in the circle look "blocked")

At first i ignored it, but when i saw nothing software-wise can fix the sound, i thought, "what if...."

So i took the device apart. I live in Israel and the device was bought in the U.S, so having to ship it back there and back here would cost a fortune, plus i would have to pay for customs again (33% of the total package worth!), not economical, and the note is a device that is very easy to deal with.

Behold the little rascal that was doing all the trouble:

You can see how it caused some kind of depression on the speaker net. When the back panel and the grill were on, they would press on it, which in turn would press on the speaker, and cause the ever-so-annoying sound disturbance

This is really weird, i removed the screw and currently am putting the back... back on. I hope the screw didn't do any permanent damage to the speaker, as the depression is still there and the net won't go back to it's regular condition:

I am waiting for my cousin to swing by with his N7000 and compare the two.

On first impression, the speaker sounds a LOT better now, not great but i can say it's decent, and satisfactory for watching youtube/hearing music/games etc.

I just need to see if this is it's normal condition, or was any damage caused by the screw.

This story will be sent to samsung as well, i want their reply on the matter, it's really unprobable that a brand new device would be delivered with a screw enjoying a little hiking in it's guts.

So, opinions/thoughts, anyone?

I previously had an S1 and an S2 which were great, but this is some screw up (pun not intended)

I'm also worried that this screw previously resided in a place where it SHOULD be within the phone... probably a QA miss
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gedster314:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Akiainavas:
Never would have guessed that there would be a left-over screw inside... great story mate, thanks for sharing it, hope your Note is working like it should now.

Lol, who would've thought they left a screw there. Fail

Great story :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Pika007:
Aaaaaaand.... bump.

Finally had the chance to check the speaker against another N7000.

100% identical, my speaker is completely unharmed. On the other hand, samsung are just ignoring me completely. Well, seeing as nothing went wrong, i won't need them, but it still ticks me off.

I have a UK Xperia Play on .42 firmware with CWM recovery and root provided by Zerg Rush.

I've heard that I need .62 to install some of the custom firmwares.

.42 appears to be the latest firmware I can get OTA. I'm not sure the best way to upgrade to .62, do I need to go via .58 or similar.

No unlocked bootloader = no custom kernels/ very limited to roms :(

Only disadvantage is it voids your warranty, but being that you have root, you have no warranty anyway lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwilightLoz:
I was in the same position as you. I wanted to get a custom ROM and be able to overclock my phone. After a few annoying errors, I finally got it up and running :D

Basically, your going to have get your phone into flashmode and then flash the .62.ftf file on your phone. Congratualtions you now have .62FW (although youve lost root).

To get root on .62 FW, your going to have to flash a custom kernel (I did DoomKernel v14). To flash a kernel, your going to have to unlock your bootloader. After unlocking and flashing the kernal, your phone is now rooted. :)

And plus the positive side Ive heard is that you CANNOT brick your sony eircsson phone. (well you probably could but there is a very very slim chance of that happening).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirby2000:

It seems I can't unlock via the regular Sony way as Unlock Bootloader is set to no.
