Why not just use it on the desktop? I doubt we will see a lot of editors in Metro.
[Windows 8 General] goldaar:
I think there are some advantages to the WinRT style applications. For singular tasks, or even tasks where you want something side by side WinRT is sweet. I think mainly the issue is people would like to have Notepad++ on their Windows RT tablets. The Windows RT tablets being thinner and cheaper (for now, and probably more so in the future) means they are fairly accessible.

I just got my Surface RT today and I would be greatful for a good code editor or advanced markup tool, especially one as familiar as Notepad++.
[Windows 8 General] matejdro:
Can Metro apps even fully access the filesystem? It would be pointless to have editor without that.

Love it.

I love all the Samsung name calling that's going on in the comments of the article in the OP.

So, lets look at this, 9 million devices pre-ordered, god only knows how many others sold, already. 1 in 9 million catches fire and melts, and all of a sudden Samsung has gone completely wrong?

I wish people would grow up. As for the one guy with a One X, I just like a comment I read here on XDA somewhere that people justify to themselves their purchase by making out they got the best device for one reason or another.

All I can say is, when it comes from an S3 owner, it's true, we really do have the best consumer mobile device on the planet xD

:cyclops: I wish we had a troll smiley.
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
If you bothered looking up the other discussion thread and the original photos of the damaged phone, you'd soon see that the battery is one of the few components it could NOT have been.
[Galaxy S III General] v1rtu4l:
i hope that fake picture does work it's magic like it was supposed to.

so guys, please watch those pictures closely. it' is claimed that the phone melted by itself, right ? so this means the heat source has to be inside of the phone. if you burn something from the outside with a lighter for example you will get black marks on the item where you hold the lighter to and not so dark black marks on the areas around it.

so when this phone did melt because of an very high internal heat source, why is the most black part of the phone on the outside and the less black marks further away from the phones border?

in addition to that just look at a picture of the disassembly of the phone and where the heat source would have needed to be, if it melted because of inner parts of the phone. (keep in mind it's still BS because the marks that are visible on the phone point to someone using external heat.)

at the point of the black marks is only a screw hole (left to the microusb port), so do you really think the holding of a screw or a screw itself would magically heaten up to such an extent?

if you check the other ifixit-teardown pictures you clearly see that apart from that metallic holding for a screw there is not even a chip where the supposed melt down occured. surely the creater of this fake picture wants to make you believe that the empty space did heat up so much that it melted, lol

i don't want to point fingers here, but it is extremely telling how much energy some people spend just to convince others that the galaxy s3 is crap and their phone (most of the cases the one x) is better. there is no reasonable explanation for those people other than psychological deficit which leads them to spend unusual amounts of energy to worsen samsungs reputation or justify their own choice of another phone. a healthy human being would just not care about other phones. if you are satisfied with your own decision you are at ease and would not even try to point fingers at others and how the others are (allegedly) worse.

the fact that samsung said "it nows of that case" is the standard call center reply, to let the customers think that "everything is in check". just think what the feel of the customer was, when the support tells him "hey, we never heard of such a thing and have no clue what to do".
[Galaxy S III General] AndreiLux:
If you actually check iFixit yourself as you suggested and check the back of the board at the same position you will notice that the bottom capacitive microphone is in exactly that position, and since it is a type of capacitor, it can blow up like that. Stop with your consipiracy bull****, malfunctions happen and this is just another of them, although a weird one. It had nothing to do with the battery or any other of the more complex components.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Exactly.

So f*cking what if ONE component in ONE phone malfunctions!!

Samsung will replace his phone, all will be good in the world again, let it go.

I have no experience overclocking a mobile device, so I have no knowledge about what is standard/good/bad/safe/unsafe. Basically I want to overclock my Gnex but I don't want to shorten its lifespan. What's a safe amount to overclock to that won't be bad in the long run for my Gnex? (Running Franco M4)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
I've personally never found a reason to overclock this phone at all, and that's usually the best for lifetime preservation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kamik19600:
As far as I know recommended maximum speed of CPU is 1,5ghz, so theoretically it is safe to overclock it to this amount. But I don't know if the build of GN for example do not make the CPU heat more what can cause less life time in such speed.

I'm running francos latest kernel. I just picked the highest OC on the list (1344mhz). I think the non-stable goes higher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Non stable goes to 1500mhz.

About the "to overclock or not to overclock" discussion, i'm leaning towards not needed YET. The phone still packs a punch when it comes to gaming and such IMO.

OP says he is noob with these things aswell, so it might be wise to wait a little and get some android experience before jumping on the OC train.

That beeing said. Every cpu is different so one cpu can be clocked to 1500mhz while a different one will fail when beeing clocked to 1300. You just have to try different clock speeds and check if it is stable or not. The cpu have built in throtteling when temperature limits are reached.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] accura407:
I dropped my phone in water for maximum 5-6 seconds. I pulled the battery out, dried it with a towel then ...(later i realize it was stupid) tried to turn it back on. It just did a fast boot loop without even pressing the power button. It's like the power button was stuck?

Then i read the online guides about the rice. So i put the phone in a rice container for 12 hours. I took it out and turned it on (using the power button). This time, it actually turned on, loaded up the KISS screen (I'm using ICS KISS) then it would just reboot to Vibrant again.

I also tried vol + and got download mode but when i did vol - i did not get recovery

Turned it off, put it back into the rice. Hoping things might change. Got a backup phone for the time being.

Question is... Can I simply flash the phone to stock or is a component linked to the main SDCard corrupted?

Thanks for the help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yayodroid:
Hello there! Are you comfortable with talking the phone apart? If so (only if you are), i myself would take out the battery asap with no power connect to the device. Then i would simply take it apart and leave it in parts to let dry. I would also look around for possible corrosion around soldered connections. If corrosion (usually white powdery looking kinda like a battery terminal in a car), i would take rubbing alcohol and a tooth brush and scrub it away. Then let it sit and let dry. Once dried out reassemble and insure that the connection ribbons are very securely in place. Sometimes when a phone is dropped and starts to boot loop, it just means a connector isn't all the way connected anymore. But considering that water is in the picture, it could be a combination. By the way this is at your own risk and this is what i would personally do and have done with success. Ive seen phones with plenty of water still in them after the rice thing. I hope this helps you out man. Good luck and if you do choose to take apart your phone just take your time and be careful. I would only take out the main board and the board that connects to it and not worry about anything else that isn't a board. Sorry for the book lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nabeel10:
If you Google "how to install front faced camera vibrant mobiletech video", watch the youtube video because they take apart the back of the phone. It not as hard as you think. Then put it in a bag if rice like the above post said. Good luck!

Try Apex Launcher in the meantime...it is awesome!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lamenramen:
Ditto. ICS, without any other added skins, is the best way to go. I bet somewhere like 5% of android users have gotten a chance to evaluate a plain ICS version. If they did, they would realize that it is every bit as good as any iOS product. It's really too bad. If I am Google, priorties #1,2, and 3 would be to make sure that everyone gets a plain ICS version, somehow, some way. Not continuing forward with jelly bean and key lime pie. ICS is already far enough ahead of iOS feature-wise. It's feature-complete. They need to take a play out of Apple's playbook and perfect--no, I mean absolutely perfect--the software that they have now. Nobody seems to get that this is how Apple operates. They have far, far less features, but the ones they do have, work very well. They're apparently willing to do the dirty work and squash little bugs and bug crashes. They are not smarter than everyone else; but they apparently have a company culture that values the details. This is all that they do, but it works.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] CitrixLemon:

[HTC One S] syntropic:
I know this has been discussed before, but I am looking for new ideas. My problem is that due to $!#&@ TMO (I doubt this is HTC 's doing) I cannot change my voicemail from "My Carrier" to Google Voice!!

I have tried everything. In fact supposedly everything should work correctly right now. When I look at Settings>>Call>>Forwarding, all of the forwarding numbers (I.e., when busy, or no answer, etc) all forward to my GV number...and this is what T-Mobile tells me too (as if throwing their hands up in the air in exasperation). BUT, my voicemail number still says "My Carrier"

I keep racking my brain trying to figure out why this doesn't take when I enter *004*xxxxxxxxxx#. It attempts to change it, but then less than a second later I get an error. The only thing I can think of is that the TMO voicemail number still shows on my SIM card.

I don't have a SIM card reader other than this phone. So I was wondering if anyone knows how I could change this info via ADB somehow.

My only other option is to go through hours of phone tech support with TMO since regular customer service gave up. I would like to avoid wasting a half day. I would rather spend the time trying to figure it out myself instead of telling a TMO tech-support person "I can't take the God-damn battery out of the phone...do you know anything about your own branded devices??!!"

Thanks...

[HTC One S] hybridmonk:
Service related issues like no data or the inability to make calls is their specialty. Software issues like freezing, crashing and touchscreen issues they can assist, but when it comes to an OS that doesn't allow you to change the Voicemail number natively, thats not something that t-mobile can override let alone be at fault.

It's crazy how many people believe that the carrier is at fault for not being able to integrate a third party service or feature into their phones. Remember T-mobile is a carrier not a manufacturer. They didn't develop the OS or manufacture the device. [I just want to help put this in perspective.]

The only way this is going to be resolved is if Google develops an app that will override the default vm number. Aside from this, the only thing left is rooting your phone and finding a hack to change the number.

:p

Im not trying to troll your post or anything. Just trying to lead you in the right direction.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
It doesn't really matter if your phone says "My Carrier" or "Google Voice"...if you have GV installed, it should still handle your voicemail. You can call T-Mobile and have your conditional forwarding number manually changed on their end to your GV number but the phone will still say "My Carrier". There is a trick though...if you select Google Voice, wait a sec, then hit Home before you get the Failed message, when you go back in the call settings it will say Google Voice...Mine does!
