[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Id try another sms app like handcent and see of that also happens. At least it will serve to see if its an app or internal message system thing. I never paid too much attention to that but i don't think i have that problem (i use handcent)

Actually, i always thought the standard sms app is very lacking and doesn't display the behaviour id like so id recommend replacing it anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upichie:
I'll give it a go. The alternatives always look horribly cluttered and ugly every time I look at their market pictures. I'm somewhat of a minimalist myself. But thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a go.

Since going through the unbrick method, my phone will not accept the OTA updates and I'm stuck at V10f. Using the LG Mobile Support Tool straight off LG's website, it says I have the latest software.

I really need to get it back to v10i or v10j. How can I do it manually and stay unrooted?

Anyone found a used for NFC in the UK yet?

Is there any decent banking/payment apps for it or other cool stuff we can be using?

I see wireless credit cards as just another way to steal my money, and with things like this you don't have to mug me but just be in range and have the technology to steal it my details.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meltus:
You can buy and program your own tags and use them to like... turn on wifi when you get home and stuff like that :)

I've never seen the NFC payment things in Manchester but other cities may have them, I dunno.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebobx:
Sony Xperia owners can get those "Smart Tags" - they're NFC enabled, so I'm guessing that perhaps the app they use them with is available?

Edit: looks like it isn't (boo), but there's other ones in the Play store that let you store information on the tags and/or activate actions on the phone by touch the tag to the phone. Check out NFC Task Launcher or NFC Tag Writer & Reader for two examples.

By the way, I'd heard that the range of NFC is in millimetres - so it's going to be difficult for a scum-sucking con artist to scrape your phone. Plus the eBanking apps I've seen discussed all have low limits on "unverified" transactions and anything of note needs you to enter a PIN code first - to authorise it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BungeBash:
Actually most credit cards can be read from a distance. They have portable card scanners that can pull your information off of a card inside of your wallet. I remember reading about a year ago that the issue is credit card companies are not supposed to store any information on your card besides the account number, but they often do to "ease" transactions on their end.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
If it was possible you'd hear about with the billions of cards knocking about, where all it takes with wireless cards is follow someone in a crowd with some kind of scanner, because if it is technically possible them someone's gonna figure it out, and all because people want to save a few seconds putting their card in the machine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Bus stops have NFC for adverts, I imagine that apps will be advertised like this too.

Soon oyster cards in London will be on your phone. But you really do have to be pushed up against these things, its very short range.

These things won't become mainstream unless they're secure.

Thieving people just by walking past them is a load of ****, don't believe it for a second.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
I think I'll keep my Oyster separate... A phone is more likely to get stolen but at least I can get home :p I always try as much as possible to not have the the phone out "on display" in or near stations anyway, and with the roll out of free wifi at stations for the 'lympics it's likely that there is going to be an increase in stuff going walkies I think.

I might get some NFC tags to mess about with for stuff at home though, just to give it a try really.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoveNFC:
People who think that it'll be possible to steal your banking details wirelessly from your phone really make me laugh. The ignorance is incredible.

NFC is only activated when your phone's screen is on and unlocked. It's physically impossible for someone to communicate with your Android phone while it's in your pocket.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan@msx:
ive just got the S3 today, and also have an Xperia S LT26i, i can use my Xperia SmartTags on both devices to set things like profiles - switching on/off things like data, bluetooth, wifi and apps etc...

as an example, i have one tag programmed for use in the car on my car keys - it disables my wifi connection, puts the phone on loud settings, enables gps and bluetooth (pairs with stereo in car for handsfree) and launches maps - all by tapping the phone on the tag. i then have another tag on my house keys so i can do the opposite....

you need an app called "liveware manager" and "Xperia smarttags" from Playstore to allow this to be done :)

hope that helps anyone interested in using NFC
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
I've done this too. You can programme any writable nfc card or sticker to be a Sony Smart Tag. There are instructions on the nfc forum. Then you can get the Smart Tag to change settings automatically for you. It works really well.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1234568:
Use these with this. Works ace.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pruhster:
I own a mastercard paypass and would certainly feel more secure if it was on my phone, instead of on a piece of plastic. Unfortunately they only have that in the US yet. My phone can read it though (well it only recognizes it as a Mastercard, no other useful info), as well my transport card, a security pass and health card. I think when NFC finds its way to more phones, applications for it will expand (and hopefully my wallet will get less bulky).

I'll be getting some NFC compatible RFID chips to play with from ebay soon.

I wonder whether the anti theft tags in stores are using a compatible frequency. You often get those for free. I Should try.

Again as far as security - indeed it only works when enabled and when phone is 'awake'. It also has a sound notification whenever it communicates via NFC. And it's not a passive chip that can simple be read with a device and somehow duplicated. Payments would require an encrypted two-way communication.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon-knight:
Have ordered some tags off ebay so will have fun finding a use for them.

First will get one in the car to turn Bluetooth on etc.

Shame that the banks are slow on rolling it out, although they are supposed to be giving it a push for the Olympics but I guess only in small numbers at select locations.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebobx:
Hmm, when I did a search (for "smart tag") in Play, the Xperia app didn't appear - bl**dy useless Google search. :mad:

Liveware I know about, because I think it's the same app as used for the smart watches.

Thanks for putting me straight though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan@msx:
try "xperia smarttags" - smart and tags have no space ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pillock:
I'm hoping 2012 will be the year for NFC - there's been noises around it gaining traction in time for the Olympics, but perhaps that will be London-only with Oyster cards etc.

I've upgraded to a GSIII from a Nexus S, which also had NFC. I rooted that and used Google Wallet to spend my free $10 from Google in the UK - a couple of Big Mac Meals and a coffee later, everything worked fine. All McDonalds have NFC-enabled tills, as do Starbucks I believe. However I won't hack Google Wallet onto my GSIII because I found out after the event that I'd changed some settings in the secure element by reinstalling too much, and now whoever buys my SNS from the secondhand shop will find out at some point it's incompatible with Wallet!

I said back in 2011 that NFC was going to be the next big thing, it's just a shame we're still waiting. It's more secure than debit card (pin for >£15 transactions, plus it's protected by your phone keylock, plus if you lose your phone you can wipe/lock it with Samsung Dive, Avast, or any other product. And as people have said, the range is tiny - 20cm theoretical, 4cm practical. If someone is that close to your pocket, you ought to have more worries than them scanning your NFC chip!!

I did manage to NFC a few contacts and bookmarks over from my SNS to my GSIII, and I have to say it worked really well - very clean implementation of business card swapping. A little "plip" noise and it's there, no need to open any apps first on the target phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jongilluley:
I know that in the northwest there is a lot of research etc into using nfc within museums and art galleries as I'm leading a team doing so.

Using tags to give further info, images and links about art or subjects by tapping a tag.

I think using it for payment will take sometime to become widespread as the general public are a little scared of new technology like this!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
Well Barclaycard have the Pay Tag thingy (though currently only for some of their Visa cards, not Mastercard - I guess that's possibly 'lympics-related) see http://www.barclaycard.co.uk/personal/paytag and http://ask.barclaycard.co.uk/help/brochure/1_pay_tag/ but it doesn't make use of existing NFC capabilities in a phone, it's just a sticker to slap on somewhere which is completely meh really.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluebobx:
Hmm, that's a good use of the technology - certainly less "Heath Robinson" than having to scan QR codes. I'm guessing that you need a special app to take advantage of this though. Hmm, maybe this is the kind of thing that English Heritage and the National Trust (and their Scottish/Welsh counterparts) should start thinking about. Use your mobile to do the audio tours instead of having to borrow/hire some device.

We need some coherent strategy amongst the banks etc - to me there seems to be too many competing schemes at the moment. If they can get it down to only Visa, MasterCard and AmEx then I'll be content.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gamer6336:
I have a HTC Wildfire (Not S), and I often don't have credit. So I searched stuff up, and apparently I could use HTC Sync for "Internet Pass-Through". I've installed Sync and both devices recognise each other, but on the 'Connect to PC' screen there is no internet pass-through option. Any ideas?

Thanks.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadislam:
This doesnt work that way. You can use connectify to share your internet through wifi provided your network card supports it.

JARVIS Kernel for LGP999

Only for CM/Miui or AOSP roms​

Deceided that XDA needs a thread too. I won't look through it really often. I hope that other more experienced members can answer some easy questions, so I can focus on developing things.

Features:

3.0.y Kernel

Interfaces to control a bunch of Features (Like vibration strength)

Overall optimized parameters to provide a smooth user experience

working UMS - thanks Harsh

App which controls all the interfaces (will be released later for P999)

Disclaimer:

I'm not responsible if your phone is fried by the kernel or you miss some important phone call! I'm not forcing you to install this Kernel and so it isn't my fault.

Download:

Download

Or Update via my app

​

Don't use profiles, because they can lead to instabilities.. and they're unnecessary.

Stay away from SetCPU or any other app. Could lead to problems because of the customizable OC. Wait for my app until it's not ready use command line coupled with a init.d script.

You don't need to optimize any values in the ram disk. It should work perfectly without any other tweaks.

When you experience problems like random reboots, SODS, etc. try to go back to stock settings. And apply my 1 GHz frequency table. If this isn't fixing your problems report a bug with detailed informations. Like ROM, Settings, etc.

If a person reported a bug and you experienced it too, +1 this bug report or whatever. In this case I know that the bug isn't only happening on one specific device.

Changelog:

I'm damn lazy. So just use my github commit history (here).

Source Code:

Github

Thanks to:

Dekudan/Victor Von Zeppelin - for creating awesome icons for the app

Arcee - Setting up CyanogenMod and everything.. Just awesome

wkpark - for his cherry-pick marathon.. This guy really has endurance hehe

Ezekeel - Really innovative dev with impressive ideas.

Everyone who open sourced their work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Benee:
Interfaces:​

CPU Control:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

Used to set the minimum frequency.

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq

Used to set the maximum frequency.

​

Fsync Control:

/sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled (Read and Write)

Enable/disable single file/filessystem sync.

WARNING: This could lead to potential data loss after a unwanted reboot (battery pull)

enable=1, disable=0 (default enabled)​

Vibrator Control:

/sys/class/misc/vibratorcontrol/vibrator_strength

Set the vibration strength.

possible values: 1500-3600​

Force Fast Charge:

/sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_charge_mode

changes the usb charging mode. We have 3 modes:

Fast - Forces fast AC charging. Disable data transfer!

Slow - Always charges slow (like on a normal PC USB bus)

Auto - automatical detects which mode should be set.

Possible values: fast=1, slow=2, auto=0​

Example

Use adb to connect to your device and then in adb shell (with su) (you can setup a init.d script to auto apply everything)

We want more vibration because we can hardly notice it and want to pwn our friend with benchmarks. Additionally we want to charge our device faster.

echo 3500 > /sys/class/misc/vibratorcontrol/vibrator_strength
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fast_charge/force_charge_mode
echo 0 > /sys/class/misc/fsynccontrol/fsync_enabled

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Benee:
Copied from o2x thread:

Worked on it nearly a year ago. Not porting driver, just swapping some modes. Couldn't get it really running so I assume we have hardware limitations (normal usb mode was disabled - so it was doing something). At that time we would have needed two kernels or a reboot (+ button press) to switch between modes.

I may be totally wrong and someone with more inside information (max voltage output of usb?) could proof me wrong. Anyway: have other higher priorities for now. But looking into it later again.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Benee:
Maybe adding a custom lighter version until the real voodoo is ready. But thinking about it

nope. Or you need another kernel with my interfaces. Works on every kernel with my interfaces.

Nope the app is only executing echo commands. You can create a script which does the same. The app is just a lot easier to use.

Try setting the lowest frequency to 312 MHz with 800mV voltage. The next step shouldn't be 800mV. So 825 mv should be fine.

and the app isn't listed in the market.. Strange

Haven't touched wifi and data isn't related to the kernel at all. Can anyone else confirm this?
