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

was wondering if any of you guys that do a lot of themes could consider an Alienware theme for the sgs2.

I know theres plenty for the pc in the way of alienware but id love to see a theme for the sgs2 based on it, itd be awesome, i was googling around today about alienware and phones because i know they were bought out by Dell, who we all know make poor phones lol, but theres one or 2 links pointing towards Alienware mobiles and they look pretty cool and well themed, i think itd look good.

Theres plenty of themes around already, granted, but after a while the ics themes kinda get a bit boring, itd be nice to see something completely away from ics or gb, no discredit to anyone themeing ics, you all do a great job and produce some awesome stuff, just my preference, i completely love the whole Alienware thing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kladd:
Hi, I've seen this question answered before for previous versions of Android but ICS changed things up a bit and the answer is no longer useful. I'm building a small android file manager type application for the desktop and I was curious as to whether anyone knew of a system call I might be able to make through adb to enable UMS or mount the sdcard of a device from within the desktop application.

EDIT: This is the solution that doesn't work as of ICS: https://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/485d7b04bc61d7be?pli=1

This might work:

adb shell /system/bin/sdutil ums enable

taken from: https://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/485d7b04bc61d7be?pli=1

EDIT: just re-read your post and saw the bit about ICS changing stuff. I guess this is what you already tried then. I'll leave it here just in case anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kladd:
Right, that's the answer I found. Thanks for looking though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelcho:
it says error: device not found

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
I've read some people saying they have had really bad problems with Lightflow that affect things like booting their device :confused: while others have said they have had no problems at all with it. What is your experience with it?

The options for LED control sound awesome, but I'd prefer not to screw up my week-old GN if I can help it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alaasagar:
In my experience, it works flawlessly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
I've never had any problems. I definitely suggest giving it a try. I'm sure you'll love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lujo_zgb:
The only problem that I have is when I dismiss an notification, the light doesn't go off. It keeps blinking.

Eg. Facebook notifications. I swipe them in my status bar to remove them, but as soon as I lock my screen, the notification LED glows blue. It happens sometimes even if I read the message or notification in the app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
Now that you mention it, when I received an email through the Hotmail application the light would not go away unless I opened the app. That's the only flaw I've found.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
The only issue I have is that you have to open the app for the notification to get rid of the blinking light. Everything else works fine for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
Iirc, it happens that way because lightflow monitors the apps, not the system notification. Like the description says, if the app isnt in the lightflow monitoring list, you wont get an led light for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LifeInAnalog:
There's a couple o' spots in settings, one in general, and one for the specific app notification that should look after that.

i. e. Clear the light after opening status/notification bar.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emgineering:
I used to have it and had no problems at all. Worst case you can always just delete the app.

I rooted my phone and downloaded a custom rom and now don't need light flow anymore since the rom has custom notif. light set up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
Never had problems, I set it to dismiss notification with screen on so I don't have to open that certain app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upstandingcitizen:
I've had extreme display glitches. Upon boot my screen would flash a green/pink burst of static, and post light flow I haven't a single issue.

Try Liquidsmooth, the integrated led has all of the same features.

Hey. I just noticed if you press the clip grabber back and open it as far as possible it gets caught and almost looks like a kickstand but doesn't work like one. I am new to otterbox is this typical of all of them and what's the purpose? Thanks.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tybo31316:
Yes its a kickstand I use mine daily more than the kickstand that's made on the phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] a senile fungus:
I didn't think it would work, but it does work as a kickstand. I had to use more force than I thought to put the phone into the holster face out, then I locked the clip into the open position and turned it slightly and what do you know...

Cool thing to know, but I don't think they designed it to be a kick stand...

Thanks for sharing
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Eh it works but only in 1 certain way. Also does it matter if the screen is faced inwards or outwards? I don't think so but I could be wrong?

Actually it's a lock to keep the clip open to make it easier to slip the clip under your belt.

You have an MHL cable to do a HDMI connection!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wannajump:
I have one right here from my galaxy S. Tried it last year on my note and sad to say it doesn't work.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amdathlonuk:
Agreed just use the MHL cable.

Its only a few pounds from eBay and works brilliantly. Perfect HD picture.

However I've noticed this function is no longer working now I'm on paranoid Android ICS so I might have to revert back to stock rooted GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerboi:
Tried out the cable ... didnt work :(

MHL is the way to go.
[HTC One X] Chura:
Hi guys,

I love my HOX, and all the G3 fans can bite me (had to take it out).

Now, my only issue, is when i GPS (Waze/iGo) i need to charge the phone obviously.

but after 20-30-40 minutes the phone show me blinking green-red led, and i understand it stop charging.

Anything to do with this ?

its big issue since its making the GPS kind of unusable for longer trips.

10x,

Chura
[HTC One X] DanRZ:
Hello, do you use a 1 amp car charger ?

Unless, the only solution i have seen from here is to "fake" the car charger as an AC charger

but i never had to do such thing by chance ... i never use GPS on long travels ...

Looks like some car chargers are seen as USB charger with limited amps ...

Modifying the cable or using another one makes phone believe it's on AC charger

and gets more amps to charge.

;)
[HTC One X] Chura:
I'm aware of it, and i was about to make the change before i noticed the Green-Reg led.

how will it help to increase the Amp if the phone stop charging anyway ? :)
[HTC One X] treebill:
Red-green led is battery over heat, meaning your battery was at or above 48c. If you're rooted you can limit your phone too two cores which should help keep temps down.

If not then you will have to take breaks from GPS till its sorted by software update. I assume its using more Cpu/cores then needed, only a theory.
[HTC One X] Chura:
Thats basic design, how come HTC didnt get it tested ?!

worth openeing a ticket about it ?
[HTC One X] Chura:
i really hate to say this, but its deal breaker for me.

Does anyone know if the SGS3 have heat issue's also ?

EDIT: Opened ticket with HTC, hopefully for good news with some firmware upgrade or something.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LeonHikari:
I'm running CM7 and I guess my tablet locked up in the middle of the night or something. I cut it on and sometimes it won't even get to the N and sometimes it gets to the N, stays there for a second, and then cuts back off. Is there any way to bring it out of this bootloop?

Edit: I got it to boot to the Cyanogenmod boot screen twice, but it keeps cutting off from there. Sometimes the Team-B screen comes up, sometimes it just cuts at the N screen. Other times the screen just flashes. I can't even seem to get it to boot into clockworkmod using the button press.

Edit2: It booted into CWM... I was doing some button presses and it shut off. It seems like the battery died and there's not enough power to turn it on, but yet I had it charging all night.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TheForceUnleashed:
It happened to me before, luckily I had a spare iPad cable that used more volts lol

It seems like when this problem occurs, the Nook wants more energy from the AC, and yet, I have no fix for this problem. I went back to stock before this occurred.

I think you should hold the power button for 20 seconds.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Yeah, be sure you're using the B&N factory cable and adapter. Also, don't use the a PC to charge your NT, always use the AC adapter.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] LeonHikari:
It appears that the place I bought it from did not give me the correct charger and the strongest thing I have is 5 watts at 1 amp.

I did have the same app on my One X as well,did a reset reinstalled apps one at a time and it was back after I updated Google Maps(second app updated). As far as uninstalling app without reset it can be achieved with a rooted device. Not sure the ins and outs but know it can be done. Hope this helps some of you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NBP Pipsquack Bird:
Me too

New HTC One X - got it this afternoon from AT&T store

OTA update installed.

I'm seeing TestMashed also.

So this is something apparently installed with Google Maps?

Is it possible many people have this as well?

But because it is listed in such an obscure location most users are not noticing...

Green light comes on for a short duration

Red light comes on even shorter.

No more blinks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabledude:
I recommend lightflow lite..it is free and work perfectly with sgs3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewpmoore:
Your phone doesn't need to be rooted to run light flow.

The issue with SMS showing and then stopping is due to the way it's monitored.

The Samsung SMS app causes the app to pop-up when a new text comes in. Doing this causes lightflow to think the app has been entered and cancels the notification straight away.

Could you try switch on "alternate off monitoring". That's what's needed for some other apps the have a pop-up like this.

I've got an s3 to test this out on, but I haven't got around to cutting a sim card down yet to try out the phone functionality. I plan to do that before releasing lightflow release 3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rj3005:
To avoid battery drain make sure you set "notification type" TO "Show latest only" in general settings of light flow.

Installed Lightflow Lite a couple of days ago and managed to change the colour of the LED while charging (I can from an HTC which would display an orange LED while charging). However, this only worked when the screen was off. (SIII 9300T, not yet rooted.)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
Sorry, already uninstalled it. My phone was stock touchwiz with root.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

This is the issue I am trying to find an app for. Normally I would use Tasker and my night profile would be set to turn it off, but that isn't working with the S3.

The other option is to use LightFlow which has a night setting where it will turn off all led activity and then turn it back on, all based on the times you set for it. But unfortunately I am having inconsistant results with lightflow; sometimes led's aren't activating, sometimes I can't get them to stop without a reboot.

Currently I have the led's turned off in settings as as nice as it is to have them working during the day, having them going off during the night bugs the daylights out of me. If compatibility with tasker is fixed I will happily use that as I'm happy enough with the stock setup of the led. Otherwise if lightflow sorts itself out for me I'll use it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drtakhs:
rooting will void you warranty, but there's already a way to go back to stock so that samsung wont notice that you were rooted in the past...:cowboy:
