[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mg_k:
This maybe a stupid question, but what button do I need to press to switch from the stock Samsung keyboard to a different one that i have installed?

I would like to do it on the fly and switching between different keyboards while typing....

The other keyboard I have installed has a dedicated button to allow me to switch back to samsung, not the other way around:(

Any idea?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
Hey mg_k I don't believe you can do that using the stock Samsung keyboard. I had a little fiddle and the only way I found you could switch is to go to Settings > Keyboard and input > select the keyboard you want.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mg_k:
That's ridiculous on Samsung's part :mad:

oh well ICS keyboard here i come :)

Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanchen:
first you must install 3rd party keyboard application in your phone..

to change the keyboard is when you type a message, there will be a keyboard icon in notification bar, just tap it to change the default keyboard.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
Yeah that works, only if you have the third-party keyboard enabled :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mg_k:
That's the answer I am looking for! Not as elegant as a button within the keyboard...but at least that works.

Thanks heaps:D
[HTC One X] VitanyLTD:
2 days ago i received my htc one X,

the day i received it i was as (everyone would be) very happy and proud..

so i charged it and went to work (with my charged phone).

my phone was just laying around in my pocket (with nothing else in my pocket.. just the phone),

no buttons or anything else in or aroud the pocket, just the phone

and the soft inside of my pocket.. ;)

my htc wildfire s (without its beautifull gorilla glass) has atleast been in there (scratchless) for 6 months.

Because the ONE x has Gorilla glass II i thought, oh it wont scratch..

if im very gentle today, i can take it with me.. just be sure my pocket is completely empty (i turned it inside out, every bit of dirt / fluff that was in my pocket has been taken out of there)

and as you probably could've guessed.. not one, but TWO scratches..

one of them is pretty visible, and im very, very sure nothing but the phone was in my pocket!!

does anyone else have the same problem?

im really thinking about insuring my phone if i see how fast it scratches!

:o i was really gentle to my phone (like you are the first 5 weeks),

putting it very softly in my pocket, insuring nothing was in there..

not even some lose fluff from my pocket!!
[HTC One X] muamers:
Are you sure that one of this metal buttons dont scratch it? :)

I have mine for some months jet and no scratches (and i dont use any case for it, just my "clean empty soft pocket" :D )
[HTC One X] VitanyLTD:
thats the weird problem, i dont have those buttons anywhere near my pocket :/
[HTC One X] muamers:
Try to cut your nails :D Or maybe a ring on your hand ... or you dont get this scratches in your pocket ...
[HTC One X] Sc0r9107:
I had the same problem so I bought a screenprotector. I also insured my phone and took a case of suede to protect my phone, just to be sure :)
[HTC One X] tropical cactus:
The screen is described as scratch resistant, not scratch proof, similar to water resistant and water proof. I didn't have a screen protector on my xe but still got two small scratches from an empty and clean pocket. Not repeating the same thing with my one x.
[HTC One X] barondebxl:
Me too, got a couple of scratches and I've tried to handle the screen very carefully.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzyjoedrt:

Hi,

Is there a way to disable the XT9 spellcheck?

thanks
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
settings - language & keyboard - HTC sense input - advanced settings - untick word prediction.

you may also want to untick word completion

if you don't want underline the mis-spelled word, off the Post spelling check.
[HTC One X] mouthpiec:
hi, thanks for the reply, but for some reason Web Prediction on my phone is grayed out and cannot be unchecked.
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
Any possibility the Trace keyboard in On ? If yes, turn it off, do you selection and On again the Trace keyboard if you want to.
[HTC One X] mouthpiec:
this way it worked, but now but swipe is not working.

I would like that when swipe is used (english) spellcheck is enabled and when not spellcheck is disabled.

or at least a shortcut on the keyboard to switch spellcheck on/off would be good too.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KawaKingLouis:
Hey guys,

i have a problem with my trackpad. The trackpad isn't working since some weeks but thats not the problem. Sometimes the trackball does what it want. I don't touch it but it makes any random crap like adjusting the volume... Is there any way to disable the trackball or is there a possibility to repair it?

Tanks for replies :)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemotto:
Sounds to me like your trackball has gone wonky :p if possible I strongly suggest to take it for repairs (provided that you still have warranty).
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KawaKingLouis:
no i have no warranty anymore....

is there no way to fix this with an app or could i just take the trackpad out of the case? but how should i use cwm without the trackpad?
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemotto:
Have yet to see an app that fixes a hardware problem :p the trackball does turn faulty after few years of usage (especially if you mistreat it). It is possible to remove the trackball physically but that would take knowledge and confidence.

Yep, without trackball it would be near impossible to operate in CMW.

The best advice is to get a new phone and move on I guess unless you can find some store that can fix the problem for you.

Good luck!
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KawaKingLouis:
hmmmh, okay thx.

i will try to remove the trackball in the next days. i have no money for a new phone and i love my legend :(
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KawaKingLouis:
yeah, i found a cheap and working sollution. i took some nail varnosh and brished it over the trackball. now the button press still works so i can use cwm but the mouse is noore lagging :) really nice. i hope i can use my legend for a few month more :)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevemotto:
Great to hear!
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
Just thinking if you could find one of those silver metallic paint marker that would work good too, and the track button would be all silver :)

sent from my legend using zeubeas cm9 beta2
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KawaKingLouis:
I have no problems woth thos method. No more lagging pr somwthing :)
[General Questions and Answers] SkinnyMathew:
I recently bought a PAYG Y100 on O2 to act as a wireless hotspot when I'm working in offices without convenient Internet access, but now I'm itching to root the device and clean out some of the bloat.

I realise it's pretty new and (I think) exclusive to O2, but there's not much information about it in the forums. Do I need to root it to delete the unwanted APK files? Are there any tools that can root this phone (searched and tried some, without success)?

If there's no tool, is there a rooted ROM that's guaranteed not to brick the U8185? It's running 2.3.6 and the link below implies that it's got the same kernel as the U8818, U8815 and U8655. I've drawn a blank on working rooting tools for those devices too.

http://www.huaweidevice.com/worldwi...=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDU5NTk=

Any advice gratefully received :)
[General Questions and Answers] aorth:
I recently bought one too, with the sole intent of hacking it. I'm just experimenting and documenting as I go. Right now I have stock recovery, fastboot mode, and a kernel compiled. I haven't found any stock ROMs for download, and I haven't figured out how to get root yet...

My notes so far: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UxPGSzPgogNU6VkjNFlASJgpG3nVEgLoE-8K3Qlo43Y/edit

I'm building an army to help hack this device... hang tight, we'll have root and stuff soon I hope.
[General Questions and Answers] Irfdiddy:
Yes you need root permission. Just get rooted (easily done) then get Titanium Backup from the play store and it will allow you to remove bloatware of any kind. Be safe though and dont delete important system files. or install a clean rom with no bloatware
[General Questions and Answers] aorth:
I'm not aware of any root on this device yet. I tried for some time yesterday, but I never managed. It's a bit harder on U8185 because we don't have any stock ROMs yet... kernel source is nice, but we don't have a RAM disk to pair with custom kernels, and no stock kernel flash back in case we brick it.
[General Questions and Answers] SkinnyMathew:
This is great news - glad to see that greater minds than mine are working on this phone. I'm very pleased with it, but it needs a few tweaks. I'll be watching your progress with interest. Thanks.

Stock roms

I founf this link for stock rom's not up to speed with rooting these devices yet, very new to the smartphone scene. Hope this will help reduce the bloatware on theis fone as it seems quite nice ( especially at £25 from O2 shop last week )

*** forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f717/f-q-frequently-asked-questions-1411931/index2.html#post8821770 *** can't post link yet :(

I've already got it unlocked from O2 ( via online form on O2 website ) and would love to free up some space on it.

Ideally I'd like to back up the existing setup and then replace with a 'clean' stock rom. Not overly bothered about rooting it, just cleaning it up.

Hope this help

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undeadcheeto117:
I left my tablet in my car, in my backpack, away from the sun. It still managed to get some heat over a few hours and when I turned it back on it turned off after a second. After cooling it and connecting my charger it started working again.

Here is where it starts getting weird. It won’t charge. It says that it isn’t charging though I know it knows there is a charger connected. Every time I insert the charger it gets out of sleep, but no charge! What is even weirder is that the dock won’t charge now either. The tablet still recognizes the dock as well and I can type but it’s not very useful if I can’t get it to charge.

The charger was not in the car so there was no damage to that. I don’t want any feedback about what I should have done as I can’t afford another one so that would be utterly useless. I know that I shouldn’t have left it in the car in the first place, no need to mention it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
The Prime might have become totally discharged. I'd suggest trying to charge them for 24 hours...Plug them in and leave it alone and see if that solves the problem. Just to be sure there are no interaction problems, I'd suggest that each be charged individually.

Good luck,

Bob

Hi All

I have galaxy note GT-N7000 and i installed new version of android 4.0.3 but the system frozen and stop work and now i don"t have any system on my phone .

Fix

hello,

i see your problem, maybe there was an fault when the phone was putting the OS on it i dont really know an option. but this are my advices:

1. try to do a hard reset by pressing the power+lock+reset key for 10 to 15 seconds (may not work on all phones try to google it) NOTICE ALL YOUR FILES WILL BE REMOVED + ALL YOUR SETTINGS!)

2. call samsung for support

3. go to the store you bought the phone and ask if they know anything to fix it.

4. go to look on google how to root you phone: find your phone type and try to root it. if you did that you can but any OS on it and i think there will be an andriod 4.0.3 rom for the phone that you can load on your phone with an recovery plugin. ( you dont need to have you phone's OS started, you only need to be in recovery mode.)

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] ysnv13:
Hi,

This is a subject that came up while discussing something else in another post, but it's important to me so I hope posting it here will be helpful both for me and others.

Many times, apps that are available in the Market state that they are uncompatibale with kindle Fire. When I got the apk file from another source, I was able to install it on my rooted KF with no problems whatsoever.

I don't know why this happens, but I understood (from the other thread) that the device's ID cand be changed so that the Market thinks it's a different device and will let me download and install the app.

How can I do that? I have the original KF without any ROM changed, only rooted.

If someone could post directions as to how this could be done (newbie level, please...) it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Yossi

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
You could try sideloading your apps but I recommend rooting or installing a ROM based off stock like MoDaCo.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Jessical:
The problem with the default Kindle ROM is that the bar at the bottom is oversized like two times compared to the default Android one. A lot of apps are perfectly fine on the Kindle, but there are some that get cut off because of that bar. So because of that, they simply don't mark it as compatible. If we had a fullscreen option globally, it wouldn't be a problem.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] veeman:
Some of the ICS ROM s have fullscreen options.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] bradlier:
root and then install gapps
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] tater_salad:
I tried this, gave up and installed Gede's ICS.

Every time I tried to download & install an app with Google Play It would crash. I tried uninstalling, installing from KFU, fixing permisions with the TW recovery and still would crash.

The other issue with using the stock kindle and root is your Build.prop may prevent you from getting many things that you may want to run that the kindle may be capable of running but can't due to restrictions set by the dev.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongylad28:
Hey guys

First time poster, long time reader.

Basically I was wondering if anyone else thought SOME the motion options for the SIII were abit, shall we say, crap?

The double tap for the top of a list doesnt work on anything but stock apps??

The swipe to screenshot is very cool, but often I swipe to a different page before the shot has taken.

Also the waving infront of the screen to silence music is questionable.

The only ones that are decent IMO are the one where where your on a contact and put it to your ear and it calls, thats cool, and the turning the phone over to silence.

Anyone else notice this? Any tips on getting them to work better?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
Yeah some seem to be a huge flop, I like the screenshot one and the camera unlock, You could always try recalibrating your G-sensor to make it more accurate. The way I look at it is most of it's really a novelty and is more annoying than good.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongylad28:
Whats the camera unlock one?

Ill give the sensor recalibrate a go, see if it helps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkillfulMmd:
The unlock into camera is rather useful, it works by clicking your power button once on your phone to show you your lock-screen. then you put one finger on the screen and turn the phone from portrait to landscape and the phone unlocks into the camera application. this has its limitations still, for instances you can't make it unlock into a third party camera application and if you have a motion, face, PIN or no lock it will not work.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SpaceCaker:
first you need to add

<string name="usboptions">usb tether</string>

a string file in strings.xml

then you need to do something like this :

for example i used an app called usb tether

and the packagename of it is com.usb.tether

<com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen android:title="@string/usboptions" settings:icon="@drawable/usbtethericon">
<intent android:targetPackage="com.usb.usbtether" android:action="android.intent.action.MAIN" android:targetClass="com.usb.usbtether.MainActivity" />
</com.android.settings.IconPreferenceScreen>

add that to settings.xml

then i need to add an icon called usbtethericon in drawable-mdpi

and then compile ;)

It's EAAAAAAAAAAASY!

We're basically talking about ONE text file. You can even copy the first updater-script I have above EXACTLY and then just replace what you need (and keep the Team Rainless part so everyone knows how awesome I am!)

It's really just that text... and the overly complicated directory system... but you put some files in a directory and you copy and paste some text. Fast and easy.

[Galaxy S II General] marcellocord:
Why do I need to sign my zips? I've never signed them, i organize the folders, then I ZIP it with 7ZIP with ultra mode. Never had a single problem without singing them.
[Galaxy S II General] TeamRainless:
I've got a better question:

Why do you zip your folders with 7-zip in "Ultra Mode"?

I mean... this is for a phone right? Or are you talking about gigantic roms or something like that?

CERT.RSA, CERT.SF, and Manifest.MF are all created by the signing process.

And here's an explanation:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23321270&postcount=16

Default recovery requires a signed zip. CWM will take anything.

But since it takes less than a second to sign a zip why not just sign it so it'll work on both?
[Galaxy S II General] marcellocord:
Some ROMs i've edited I've always deleted those cert.rsa, blah blah. I zipped my zips in ultra mode to compact it to the max. I can reduce one 300MB ROM to 180MB. CWM doesn't require that the zip is signed unless you toogle signature verification, which is disabled by default. And in this post he's saying that only stock recovery needs. On CWM you don't, at least I've never had to sign them...
