This is a very interesting idea. Is there a file size limit to the amount of data that can be stored in the NFC tags?
[Android Apps and Games] r0ly:
Thank you!

Yes there is a size limit, depending on the tag you are using. But it's not a problem here since I don't save data on the tag!

I saved cyphered data on the phone, and only the key that can decypher that content on the tag.

Mainly for Max...

I know that 4EXT is on a limited set of Devices, and that Max wants to expand his Recovery into Tablet devices.

max, I offer my Devices to you if you don't have volunteer's yet.

I have Two Kindle Fire's, an ASUS Transformer TF300T, and of course the HTC Sensation 4G (currently running your 4EXT recovery -- Love it.)

I did search around XDA and noticed there wasn't an thread for offering up devices for assistance.

Members, any you want to contribute?

For this kind of things you should go to the main forum of Samsung Galaxy SL i9003 and then to Galaxy SL i9003 Themes and Apps instead of Galaxy SL i9003 Android Development.

Also, before posting, search within the forum, because normally someone has already asked something about cameras, or other stuff, and you´ll find answers there.

To be able to solve your problem you should check which rom version do you have, because if you are in froyo and you put a gingerbread camera, it probably won´t work.

if any of those app work on ur phone then it's definately a rom problem i will help you :)

if those don't work then i will give u a flashable update.zip and if after that ur camera does'nt work then it's a hardware prob for sure..

just test and reply..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poprocksncoke:
I know I have other threads on this but decided to give all my symptoms and what I have done up till now in one thread.

Ok, so to begin........ I had the power button problem on my Captivate as well as other problems, phone would get hot and smell and do weird things. So I decided to buy a broken phone off ebay and change out the motherboard.

I swapped boards and the new board had a lock on it so I couldnt get into the phone so I restored it to factory defaults. After that I was able to get into the phone and it works great except for the fact it will not connect to the network! So I have a camera and a wifi device.

Here is a list of problems I see.....

When phone boots up without sim card it doesnt ask for a sim card to be inserted

when sim card is inserted it doesnt read it (card and card holder work fine on other motherboard)

No network but wifi works fine

Baseband version - unkown

phone number - unknown

mobile network type - unknown

service state - out of service

mobile network state - disconnected

imei - unknown

imei sv - unknown

I have tried pretty much everything I have read on the forum....

Rooted phone and installed a custom rom and corn kernel - no luck

Mobiletechvideo method - no luck

moved efs folder from old motherboard to new motherboard - no luck

did a CWM backup on old motherboard and copied it to new motherboard and ran CWM recovery - no luck

tried Galaxy S unlock and no matter what I do only get the FFFFFF code

Flashed other modems - no luck

in hex editor my nv_data.bin files look fine.......

00188008|2e|34|00|00|00|00|ff|41|.4....A

00188010|54|54|00|00|00|00|53|47|TT....SG

00188018|48|2d|49|38|39|37|5a|4b|H-I897ZK

00188020|41|41|54|54|00|00|00|00|AATT....

So anyway, Im at the end of my rope so hopefully I can get some insight before I just give up (which I keep saying I'm going to do but havent yet, lol)

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
It may not matter, but have you tested someone else's SIM card in the phone that's not detecting yours? If it won't read two different cards, but all the software parts are looking like they're functioning correctly, it's possible you have a lemon SIM card reader.

I don't know if that's something that could be replaced, but if you test it and it won't read the second card, it might be worth getting in contact with Josh (connexion2005) at mobiletechvideos to see if replacing the SIM card reader is something they can do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poprocksncoke:
Yes I have tested other sim cards and they dont work either. I had thought of this too but I put the sim card reader/holder on the other motherboard and it reads fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poprocksncoke:

started looking around in root explorer and looked at dev/block, only folder in there is dev/block/void and it is empty. Maybe this could be the cause? If so anyone know how to fix it, lol :)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
I believe that most want it because it is the newest OS and most believe it will be an improvement, much like GB compared to Froyo... Which is understandable considering the developers here are going full bore in a attempt to port ICS.

Being one of those that was satisfied with froyo, I have to admit I am even more satisfied with GB... But as for your question, I personally hope that it is released for our phone because if it is, so to would the source be released (just imagine what the developers could accomplish with it).

Just my 2 cents in the well.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
You do realize that's a post from someone in the forums right? No word from Samsung USA. You cannot depend on what a customer service rep says, they sit behind the computer all day and still do not know a thing about the products they are supposed to be supporting.

If I am not mistaken the T-Mobile version is the same as the Telus S2 in Canada. If it is I would not be in any hurry to upgrade to ICS. My own experience and experience of others as reported on the Howardforums has not been stellar. Problems with apps freezing and battery life going in the toilet are common. Looks great, just doesn't work very well. I would hold off until these issues are addressed. I usually always wait to do an update until I here some feedback but this time I jumped in and am now regretting it.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] blewis87:
I have a RAZR Maxx on ICS and an Atrix Lapdock. The lapdock with webtop 3.0 works great and you can force the tablet UI to be used (navigation bar on the bottom, etc. etc.). However, when you open apps it still uses the phone version of the apps, which is somewhat annoying for certain apps.

For example, the gmail app. On a tablet, it has a neat interface for a larger screen with a split screen. On a phone, it's just one screen and looks a bit ridiculous when scaled up to a 10" screen.

Anyways, my question is if it's possible to force the tablet versions of the apps to either be used or installed (i'm not sure if the tablet versions of the apps are included when installed or if a different app is installed.) Perhaps the .apks could be extracted, slightly modded, and reinstalled under a slightly different name to use when on the lapdock.

I'm going to guess that anyone who uses the lapdock in ICS with any frequency would love to see a way to do this. And, to be honest, it'd just be nice to do this for a few apps, not every single app I have installed.

So, what do you think? Can it be done?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kevintstephens:
+1 for this
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blewis87:
To respond to my own question....

It seems like the applications that dont have a nice webtop mode are the preinstalled system apps. You can enable the webtop mode by replacing the .apks for the system apps inside the /system/app folder with an .apk from a tablet. Not sure how well it will work after an update. For instance, I grabbed the gmail and talk .apks from my nook tablet and replaced the .apks on my phone...voila webtop gives the tablet view and the phone view is still good.

Razr Maxx on Atrix Lapdock - resolution?

Hi. Sorry I can't give any help on your question, but could you please tell me how you got Maxx to work with the Atrix Lapdock? I have tried my Maxx with an Bionic and Atrix lapdock and the resolution is terrible. Things are stretched horizontally and the viewable portion of the screen is in letterbox. Almost 2/3's of my lapdock screen is wasted.

I really prefer the old version of webtop and do not like webtop 3.0 at all. Mostly because of the terrible resolution and small screen size.

Any help you could give would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blewis87:
For most apps, there is a tablet version you can force inside webtop 3.0 by changing from phone version to webtop version with the little "maximize" looking arrow in the bottom right. You'll probably have to do it manually the first time for each app. (you'll see what I mean). As for the launcher, I setup my system so that I use apex when I'm normally using my phone and nova for when I'm using my lapdock. I simply change the default launcher back and forth when using one or the other. I setup nova to have a ton of icons in the dock (kinda ends up looking like MacOS with the program shortcuts on the bottom) and much more rows and columns on the desktop. I leave an easily accessible shortcut to apex on one screen for when I take my phone out of the webtop. I've thought about messing with the webtop init.d scripts or something to automatically change between launchers or trying to figure out how to have a launcher change some settings automatically. In general, it'd be nice to have a certain number of settings automatically change when bringing up webtop 3.0 in general.

Anyways....it all works pretty well once you get the tablet/webtop versions of everything going.

Good luck!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CrystalG:
Thank you! Nova not in market, I will find it somewhere. Tried Halo launcher. Nope, better resolution but still letterbox. Does Nova fill the entire screen? Or will it still be letterbox? Thanks again!

Hey guys,

in the meantime while we are all waiting for our phones and diagnosing ourselves with generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and possibly Post traumatic stress disorder (after its all over), does anyone have any input as to what cases are great in terms of being protective and slim.

i dont care about them being scratched up, as long as the phone isnt.

and also the reason i say nude or clear is because we each chose our colors and whats the point if the case covers our color choice and we dont get to look at our phone in all of its magnificent beauty.

and one last thing, would the s2 cases fit on this?

I never had a case on my skyrocket and it was fine, but the s3 to me is gonna be my favorite for sure.

There is a case thread in the Accessories subforum and you should see some of the designs out there.
