FEMA Text Messages

Use your cell phone’s text messaging capability to receive text message updates from FEMA. FEMA will never charge you for text message alerts, but carrier message and data rates may apply. You should expect to receive periodic updates, the number of which may increase during times of disaster.

FEMA will not use your phone number to track, reverse look up, or for any type of commercial marketing. Your carrier may collect additional data elements, please see their privacy policies for further details.

Here are basic commands to get started:

•To signup to receive monthly preparedness tips: text PREPARE to 43362 (4FEMA)

•To unsubscribe (at any time): text STOP to 43362 (4FEMA)

•To get more information: text INFO to 43362 (4FEMA)

To search for Shelters or Disaster Recovery Centers (DRCs):

•Text SHELTER and a Zip Code to 43362 (4FEMA)

Before you go to a shelter, always check with your local emergency management agency for availability & services.

•Text DRC and a Zip Code to 43362 (4FEMA)

Searching for shelters or Disaster Recovery Centers will not add you to a list. Think of it like doing a search on the Internet.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] 74Eldo:
Thanks TruckerGlenn. The info from fema you cited is useful. I'm really wondering what "new capabilities" the new CMAS-enabled smartphones are utilizing. I assume its software related and therefore can be designed and ported to the Infuse. Alerts will geo-target your phone. For example, one possible alert would work such if the National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for a small warning polygon, your phone would only alert if you were in (or near) that area. I don't even think its gps related, but works via cell towers' knowledge of your connection. I've had an internal NWS warning text notification set up for quite some time wherby i register for various alerts per specific geographic area, but CMAS will work much differently. At&t currently cites only 3 android phones with it.

If you do a fast internet search the FEMA updates will be coming from an installed chip. It will bypass all other fuctions to makensure it comes through
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 74Eldo:
There is no chip to govern the CMAS functionality. Here's a good article:

I work for a Cell Broadcast company. The special chip that they are referring to has been in mobile phones for about 16 years. The CB stack is part of the standard communication chipset on older phones (2G on GSM). Newer phones focussed on multimedia and stopped implementing the stack as the market was not using CB. Now CB is being used for Public Warning, the handset manufacturers are reintroducing the old function.

SMS is peer to peer, while Cell broadcast is multicast, within a cell coverage area, without subscriber awareness. It is in the GSM and CDMA standards (3GPP TS 23.041) and all phones and network equipment following the standards completely, would inherently have this function.

The reasons Cell Broadcast is better than ANY other method for reaching the masses are:

Unaffected by network congestion as it is multicast over a priority portion of the signalling channel.

No need to know the numbers or locations of the subscribers; the message is simply broadcast in a defined area and if the phone is tuned in (CB channels enabled), like a terrestrial radio, it will receive the message.

A broadcast can be received by millions of people, possibly everyone in a nation instantly. Something unheard of in all of history.

It cannot be billed or tracked. CB is a one-way communication protocol.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emalice:
I got my TF300T yesterday.

The first thing I did was update the firmware as the device strongly suggested I did. That means I don't know if the problem I have is related to the update or not.

Problem : on waking up (NOT on turning on), on random I will see thick black stripes across the screen (see pic), they stay on upon unlocking the screen, they stay on when going portrait/landscape, usually I will have to wait with the screen off for a little while and the problem disappears but it is nonetheless a fracking annoyance.

I manually upgraded the firmware to .29 (turned out it was the one already on it) without any change. Going through several fora, I saw that it is a known problem, experienced by others, with no official fix, but for some the problem appeared immediately after upgrading to ICS, suggesting the issue is software. However, no word of this problem appears on this forum, suggesting that the problem could be simply a defective device.

My question is : did I get a dud ? In other words, should I return it, or should I wait for a firmware update that may one day solve the problem ?

Any suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance.

E.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomicblue:
definitely return it, i don't think there's a fix for this.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T

Ok, thanks. Anyone else shares that opinion ? i.e. has every one here updated to .29 without any problem like the one described here ?

Thanks.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gasingvar:
I'd try a cold boot (is that equivalent to a dalvik cache cleansing?).

(cold boot: hold power until it reboots. While still holding power when it's rebooting (the screen goes black) immediately press and hold volume down aswell. Hold both buttons until you see some text in the top left corner (it should be quick). Then RELEASE both buttons and wait).

Looks kind of bad, though.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emalice:
Tried that. Failed :sad:

Happy I bought it from a store, guess I'll return it tomorrow.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emalice:
Ok, I returned it today, got a new one in 10 minutes, they even replaced the screen shield that I had already installed on the faulty device.

So far, no sign of those black stripes, but I have been putting off pushing the update (currently .14). Will report after that if stripes reappear.

E.

Okay, it's been a week now, haven't heard of those stripes again on my new transformer. Definitely was hardware. thanks guys.

Good News for us. Rockstar Officially confirmed that Max Payne 3 for Android coming on June 14th. and It includes HTC One X in supported device list.

rockstargames.com/newswire/article/35381/max-payne-mobile-coming-for-android-this-thursday-june-14th.html

Edit: Its Max Payne Mobile, they didn't mention about the number.
[HTC One X] timlambo:
Nice to see and good spot. Just hope it has some long gameplay, good graphics and is not laggy.
[HTC One X] b2k811:
Max Payne 1, not Max Payne 3

It's the first Max Payne, not Max Payne 3! Try to read carefully...

[General Questions and Answers] vic509:
I was updating a custom rom on my tablet (TF101) (android revolution ) through the sd card where I had two other updates for a couple of other roms. When I clicked on the update I accidentally clicked on the CM9 update rather than the android revolution and now the tablet is acting up. It won't let me access the internet because everytime i try to connect to wifi it restarts itself. Also, for some reason when I try to do another update through the recovery it won't let me read the sd card. I tried accessing the sd card from ROM Manager as well but rather than go to the sd card it goes to the internal storage. Any ideas? When I get on the home screen a tab keeps popping up saying that "unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped". ANY IDEAS PLEASE WOULD BE GREAT. Normally I can handle these types of things but this one in particular I just can't get. Thanks.....

Don't worry, dude. Sounds like a case for Download Mode and Odin to me. Just use the board search to find some specific informations regarding your device. I would really like to give you some links, but i allready violated the forum rules one time today ;/

Hi, i'm a noob :) but i follow this forum since a couple of months.

I tried to find any similar threads, but i haven't got any results. I apologize in advance if there is a thread like this and i apologize for my very bad english :(

I want to know if it's possible to port only the "smart alart" function from galaxy s3 to my galaxy nexus, or if there is an app in play store that has the same function.

For me it's very usefull.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
No you cannot port it. It requires touchwiz at this time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jarm3r:
totally off topic but I think your english is very good. Keep using it and soon nobody will know you're not a native speaker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukedc89:
I saw that in CM9 ADDON there isn't any feature like smart alert or smart stay, although there is touchwiz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukedc89:
Thanks :p i'm doing my best ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukedc89:
Only after posting this thread i saw that another one had been just opened by few minutes.

I apologize and i ask moderators to close this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
I agree your english is good!

But Touchwiz isn't just the launcher. It is the underlying framework, too. You need more than just the touchwiz launcher for these apps to work.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
If you have an Hitachi LCD panel, you may noticed (but most likely not, if you are a normal person :p) that LCD backlight acts weirdly when its values is more or less 20. I had always wondered if this was an hardware issue or what, so I took a look at the sources.

Apparently Samsung limited the maximum value for these panels to 216 with an algorithm that more or less every 6 brightness steps keeps the backlight at the same level, regardless its value. The problem of this algorithm is that it fails when the backlight reaches 20. This is not a big problem on stock ROMs, because you usually stay above this value (when the battery is low it always stays at 10, normally >20).

Here an extracted part of my dmesg:

*** aat1402_set_brightness : 16
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=16, current_intensity=16
*** aat1402_set_brightness : 17
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=17, current_intensity=17
*** aat1402_set_brightness : 18
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=18, current_intensity=18
*** aat1402_set_brightness : 19
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=[COLOR="BLUE"]19[/COLOR], current_intensity=[COLOR="RED"]19[/COLOR]
*** aat1402_set_brightness : 20
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=[COLOR="BLUE"]20[/COLOR], current_intensity=[COLOR="RED"]17[/COLOR]
*** aat1402_set_brightness : 21
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=[COLOR="BLUE"]21[/COLOR], current_intensity=[COLOR="RED"]17[/COLOR]
*** aat1402_set_brightness : 22
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=[COLOR="BLUE"]22[/COLOR], current_intensity=[COLOR="RED"]18[/COLOR]
*** aat1402_set_brightness : 23
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=[COLOR="BLUE"]23[/COLOR], current_intensity=[COLOR="RED"]19[/COLOR]
*** aat1402_set_brightness : 24
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=24, current_intensity=20
*** aat1402_set_brightness : 25
HITACHI PANEL(1)! orig_intensity=25, current_intensity=21

As you can see "current_intensity" decreases after 19 and then start increasing again (I think Samsung did it because the screen is intended to stay always above 19).

I don't like it, especially in CyanogenMod, where the brightness gradually changes when is set to automatic, so I replaced the algorithm with:

if(current_intensity > 26)
current_intensity = current_intensity - current_intensity/6 + 3;

The resulting values are not so different from the original ones, the main difference is that values will only increase.

But, is this useful? Not that much :p.

I posted this to bring something new here, but also because all of this makes me wonder why Hitachi panels are limited to a value of 216.

If you take a look at Froyo sources there's no limit (but there's only mentioned one kind of Hitcahi panel, while on XDA_Bam sources there are two of them).

If someone knows the answer, please reply.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
ok... so I would like to have one full backup including system and also one what ONLY backups the Apps... now how is the best way to do so?

and how can I also scheduel to do one full backup lets say once a month but the "apps-backup" weekly or so?

I am new to TB... so please be gentle :)

Also can I use TB for more than one of my devices with different profiles...

i.e. nook color and andorid phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
Yes to multiple phones

sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrsHoneyDip:
In order to do both, you have to have the paid version. And there is no option for monthly schedules, at least not on the free one.

Go under schedules and set it up. For full backup, choose 'backup all user apps & system data.' For apps only, choose 'backup user apps'
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
Got the paid version.... Still I am unsure bow to organize this in a intelligent matter...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I'd start with a spell checker...:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
True.... Still I believe my point came across.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
TB is a beast. So many utilities. What you want to do is use the batch feature. Press the icon that looks like a paper with a check through it. They will have all your batch operations you need, and their categorized.

If you want to set up schedules. You'll see that there are three bubbles on every screen. Overview, Backup/Restore, Schedules. Click on Schedules. You can edit and create as many as your heart desires. And choose what you want them to do.

Like somebody else posted. There is no monthly scheduling. But you can set up a schedule and run it manually.

I also use the same paid version of TB across multiple devices. Kindle Fire and Evo. Also a nice feature is the upload to dropbox. It'll upload your backup to your dropbox account. This is helpful incase you lose or break your phone. You'll still have the latest backup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
Thanks for the detailed reply.... Still am unsure.... How yo do a full backup with different versions.... AND a only app version.... With different versions.... And how to select which one I wanna restore from..... With the batch restore I could not find a way to select a version from which to restore from..... Am i blind?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MrsHoneyDip:
What do you mean by different versions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
lets say i make a backup every week... just apps... if i do a batch restore.... how can i select from which date i wanna restore... if i do a single app... i can select that...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
IIRC, batch restores will use the most recent backups.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] alexwick:
And there is no way to adjust?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
Why would you want to adjust? If you're restoring, it makes sense to restore the most recent backup, no?

Otherwise use manual mode for older versions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
Like somebody said, if you do a batch restore, it'll to the latest version. But TB is set to have a maximum of 1 backup. You can go into preferences and change this to how many backups per app you want.

Then if you want to restore an app to an older version. You click once on the app, click restore, it'll ask you what backup you want to restore from. But this has to be done on an individual basis.

I don't understand what you mean by having different devices. Each devices stores information seperate from each other. Ofcourse you can always force information from one device to another (by loading it onto the devices storage).

Dropbox stores your music in the cloud, and it isn't synced to your phone like it is to your desktop.

The desktop version syncs automatically, while in the phone version you have to manually save each file from your Dropbox onto your phone.

You'll have to manually, one file by one, download and save your music to your phone, then play it with Poweramp.

OR

Do like I did, and purchase the app "Dropsync" (Full version) and set it up to sync your Music folder on your Dropbox to a folder on your phone's SD card.

Mine syncs automatically and thus my phone is always up to date with the latest music that I have on my Dropbox.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Decepticaons:
Here is the comparison you have all been waiting for....

http://geekaphone.com/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-vs-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Skyrocket

Looking at the categories that the SIII actually won on here is my opinion

1-more space---while its true, I can throw a 32 GB card in my skyrocket and ill never use it all.

2-better data speeds-we will be able to use these when exactly?

3-screen resolution, is it really all that noticeable to the human eye?

4-processor, they have them listed at 1.4 quad and 1.5 dual. Seeing as the US version is only getting 1.4 or 1.5 dual this is a wash.

If you ask me (i realize you are not) the SIII just isnt a big enough of an upgrade to go and spend the money. Looks like Im waiting for the S4. Im gonna have to throw on a GSIII rom on the Skyrocket, get a bigger SD card and keep on rocking! It was stupid to release the SIII so close to the Skyrocket (7 whole months later) and then give it dang near the same specs.
