Hello,

Is there a plugin, or anyting else, which would make it possible to turn mobile apps (on the TP) around? I would like to do that because they are always turned in such a way that the speaker at the bottom is and when for instance using Spotify the the tablet can't be resting normally on your legs because the audio is bad than. So does anyone know of something? I can't find anything...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kawishh:
Hey,

So I tried to root my One X by doing the on first for not losing my data and installing BusyBox and SuperSU.

Unluckly those apps wouldn't install, I understand why, read all the forums.

But my problem is, when I ejected my USB from the phone all these weird data appeared on the top-right side of my screen.. and it keeps changing.

Is there a solution for this to be removed?

Thank you!

Couldn't upload picture because I'm new :x

I have searched the forums and can't locate this issue. When I open the Kindle App on my Fire and click on Kindle Store to look for a book, I am redirected to the website instead of the kindle store within the app. Can someone suggest a fix?

I am using Build Number - IMM76I, Mod Version - aokp_otter_builid-36, Kernel Version - 3.0 21+

Thanks for your help!

Can't resist bashing Apple. :D Here is my take on Apple announcements for iPhone on wwdc

Apple Maps: We had this for long time

Facetime over cellular: Skype over Android works very well and its available on all platforms

Facebook Integration: We have been able to upload pictures directly to facebook for a long time

Siri: Apple wins here. Lets see what S-Voice can do. I say Android is year or two away

Overall Android wins hands down. I have a SGS2 and Iphone4 on separate lines and SGS2 is far ahead on Apple.

There's this article from BGR as well; though the author seems more fanboy than actual critic.

A counter argument can be made for each of his points. Some may be actually innovations, others have been in Android (either stock or through apps) for a long time.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
I was actually impressed with the keynote. The new Macbook Pro is actually fairly priced; it has an INCREDIBLE display resolution and comes with a SSD.

For iOS6, and every other OS they've pushed out, their point is not to innovate. Apple doesn't do things first, they do them correctly. I guarantee every one of those features will be smooth as ****, polished to the utmost refinement. From someone who had no idea what they'd add in iOS6 (and its supposed to be around 200 features; big and small of course) I was impressed with what they came up with.

I think the best way to put it is

something that i do like about the iphone is constant updates for the phones. Getting an official ICS for the skyrocket has been long overdue. I just got a pre-order e-mail for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S III which I will not get since the skyrocket seems just as powerful (the AT&T version is a dual core 1.5ghz and not quad core). Plus it pisses me off that Samsung and AT&T is practically forcing normal users to turn to rooting their phone just to get a decent and updated rom on their phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
What people don't seem to understand is that the SIII has an S4 processor. Same clock speed, yes, but far superior architecture.

I'm not saying it'll affect anything... just fixing a common misconception.

The skyrocket should be a top of the line phone, even after 2 years. ^.^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cnewsgrp:
Samsung's delayed ICS for S2 to get people to buy S3. At least we have access to ROMS where dev's easily cook great ROMS. Poor iOS folks don't get that chance. They are still waiting for wifi and bluetooth toggle. The only thing apple gave them is move bluetooth to first page of settings with iOS6. Losers:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
If you are going to compare cooked roms then you have compare to jailbroken iPhone. And the jailbreak community does have most everything available to android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ends:
Very true. Compare gingerbread 2.3.6 to iOS6 and I feel like the loser. iOS will never be as customizable as android, but android will never be as smooth nor have the consistant updates. What sold me? Neither. I hate the little ass screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
You know why they don't care though? Because they can leave their bluetooth and wifi on 24/7 and still **** on our battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dirtburgler:
The only hing apple is good at, is being able to make morons pay for the same phone over and over. They hardley touch the os itself. Instead they add apps and weird addons and change the version number. Honestly apple just go to show that people like to be told what to do and how to do it. I like choice and variety. All that fancy polishing g you all talk about is why the battery sucks and always will. Apple pushed for html5, yet they are near the bottom of the list for comparability. Apple sues any company that is about to come out with a phone that wipe its ass with an iPhone. Just shows their scared and don't want people jumping ship before the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s come out. LTE on an iPhone, lololololol. You will have to have it plugged in to use LTE.

Not true at all. I have Sgs2 and a family member has iPhone 4. We both get 1.5 days. See attached photo. I am at 18% after 1 day 3 hours of medium use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Don't mean to be a pain, but looking at your image, with that screen %, I'd never consider that "medium use"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cnewsgrp:
About 20 calls, 30 minute meeting on bluetooth, About 20 facebook views and 2-3 posts. probably 15 minute browsing using dolfin browser. Used maps couple of time to lookup a place

For me that's medium use. Many days I use even less. FYI - iPhone is used about same or less than this for similar battery life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
I've owned both phones, and with heavy use the batter of the iPhone is a good 60/70% better. It just is, with a big screen and not as good power management the two aren't equal. They just aren't, despite your anecdotal evidence
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] champoi:
I can't say there's much with the new iOS 6 that I'm impressed with. Things are integrated into a users everyday life better, but the UI stays THE SAME. not even referencing the joys of Rooting, picking up any Android and you're treated to the joy of theming, picking launchers, changing SMS clients - that alone makes it a more viable option for me.

I think Apple is GREAT at presentation and that's what sells.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jrockttu:
Since using sky ics I just leave BT and wifi on and still get a full day of use, easy. And I'm in an LTE area. It's been a few years since I had an iPhone, but I remember never worrying about battery on it, constantly panicking about batt on my nexus one and gb skyrocket, and now never worrying again with sky ics.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] badpanda:
Who agrees...?

But iOS in general is the smoothes and most polished software out there... no lag, no freezing 100% responsive. Honestly they do it right every time they come with an update.

Android is great also, but we can denied that iOS just feels right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] champoi:
Can't agree with that at all. Had an iPhone 3GS on iOS 4 and 5 and the system would FC on programs or the OS would lock up occasionally and would need to do a hard reset to come tjbueto use. Ive been using a iPad, OG and Safari will REGULARLY FC on me.

And don't get me started with iTunes. That garbage not only likes to FC but also randomly delete album artwork and or songs (though that's a serious software issue where its not really "deleted", just isn't recognized by the program until you pull it back into the computer).

Trust me. iOS has its fair share of problems. People honestly tend to just over look it because, well, its Apple. lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
I don't agree with that. Yes, they do well with what they force users into, and I really can't complain as I had, and my wife has an iPhone.

I switched from an iPhone specifically for the reason that I was getting all kinds of FC's everywhere. Safari, Video player, Music player, Text Messaging app...

They're not free from problems, but they put on a good show and people flock to their products because they work and are simple to use. Yes, there is a huge jailbreak community, but it's not as encouraged as Android's; and even with a jailbreak, you do not have the customization options that Android has.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] srgonu:
I do have ipod touch and ipad2. after my kid uses ipod touch for a day or two, it lags a lot. I have to manually close all the apps and then give it a restart to work smoothly again. Also, safari on ipad2 froze several times while viewing engadget (not sure why it happens only with this site). The only option is to use an another app, wait for 5 mins and reopen safari and close the tabs as fast as you can (If you delay in closing it hangs again... funny).

I hardly have not more than 25 apps on ipad2 and opened apps not more than 3 to 4 at a time.

So, ios has its fair share of problems. I am using Skyrocket since December 2011 and I still can't stay looking in to it atleast once every 30 mins. Its an awesome phone I ever had.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] edgex:
My whole family uses iPhones. Personally I'm just to techy to use something that is more simple and honestly just "works". As I like customizing and don't mind troubleshooting problems and such. Also I'm a bit of a Google fanboy and love using all their services.

Feature for feature, especially for the money, android will probably always be the best, but no doubt apple products are quality in their own way.

Even for next gen laptops I was planning on an Asus ultrabook with 1080p IPS 13" screen and ssd. Everything I want for web design on the go, but may even give the new macbook airs or pros a look over. But I won't switch to osx, so I'd be booting into 7 or 8, just hard to beat the quality craftsmanship of their stuff.

sure the iphone has better battery life, but it really isnt THAT much better. siri always running kills the 4S compared to the 4. all of my friends have iphones and theyre always below 50% battery it seems. It seems all the iphone users i know have three things in common..they either have a case or a cracked screen, they carry a charger, and the reason they got it is "...because dude the iphone is sick, your droid is gonna be ****ty in two months when it slows down". quote taken directly from my bro-in-law

this is of course just slamming the general population of iSheep, not power users. different story there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mryasir:
You know, it's always bugged me when android users called themselves "power users". What constitutes a power user? Are you running photoshop and after effects on your phone? Perhaps rendering movies? Are you compiling pi to the billionth decimal place? What makes a person a power user? I use my skyrocket for getting my work email and phone calls, I use netflix on my train ride home, I take pictures with it when I don't have my camera, I use it to track my daily bike rides using the gps, and I use it to browse the Internet when I don't have my iPad on me. Does that make me a power user? If so, then just about all the iPhone users I know do the same thing with their phones. I switched to android because I loved the larger screen and LTE on the skyrocket. If the new iPhone also has a larger screen and LTE, it'd be hard not to move back. And with apple adding the features that used to belly be available through jailbreak, it becomes less necessary to jailbreak the iPhone with each iteration. Yes, android has more potential and the customization options are nice but it's still unpolished.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dirtburgler:
I just can't seem to justify spending more money on something just because it's "polished", considering it's going to be replaced by the next model in 8 months. That's like buying the same car model each year just because they changed the bumpers, headlights and tail lights a little, but your not allowed to work on it.

I'm not bashing Apple hardware or iOS, their business practices erk me. They had something special when they came out with the first badass smartphone. iOS and Android nowadays are playing on the same level. It's just a finger pointing match now.

Both are amazing operating systems and will continue to be, I like android for its freedom and easy customization.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cnewsgrp:
I have not used Siri, but S Voice can only be said to be a good first start.

The folks who keep on telling that iOS is a "polished product" need to get their heads out of Apples ass.

iPhone and iPad are stable because they don't do much. It is easy to make software that works on a small set of hardware and does not offer much usability. Apple invented a great product 5+ years ago and stopped being creative since. It does not give a shot about its users. Apple cult folks need to leave. XDA is for creative, intelligent and independent users. They can come back to XDA after apple gives you following

Start/stop Wifi/Bluetooth on click of a button

Web links open in browser other than safari

Customize buttons, live wallpaper and widgets

Ability to upload music, documents without itunes

An intelligent brain
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lnfound:
Your isolating these 'power user' android users to those you encounter on sites like XDA. In this case, yes, most qualify as power users despite it still being a relative term. IMO, knowing how your phone operates, rooting/Jail breaking, etc, qualify someone as a power user.

Considering the number of people I've come across who think they're running ICS when they're actually on GB with an ICS styled launcher goes to show the community is small relative to the population, at least around my group of encounters.

I switched from a 3GS we had in the house thinking I'd give apple a shot after always being negative about them. I think battery may have been slightly better, but I still ran into plenty of lag. What I can't argue with is charging rate, apples great with that. Being stuck with 4 button non scrolling launcher, lack of a true desktop and no true customization of app layout made me make the jump back to a new Android phone faster than expected.

well my phone got wet on the back with a case, then i took off the case it and the back which was all wet, the battery was wet to and so was under it, i took out the battery and dried every thing and it worked, everything did, the speakers and buttons. so later today the phone just shut off and wouldnt turn on. so i thought it died and i tried charging and just the light would flicker on the top left of the phone. so i put it in rice for about 5 hours and i put battery back on and now when i press the the power button. the screen just turns on like u can see light, just a black screen. then it goes away.

the battery has some green stuff on one of the gold things that conencts your batteries.

So i oredered another battery off of ebay, do you think that would fix it?

I basically brick bugged my Note by accident by formatting in recovery while on stock ICS.

I live in Canada and bought the phone while I was in Spain. I sent a message to Samsung Canada and they said to contact Samsung Spain. This is the response I received from them, I don't know how to respond to make sure they fix my phone. I don't believe ICS is out yet in Spain and I used Odin to flash it.

"Thank you very much for contacting us regarding your Galaxy Note.

Please, in order to give you the best answer, please inform us how did you exactly the upgrade to ICS and what do you mean exactly with “formatted” and what steps have you taken to make it.

Then we will back to you as soon as possible."
