EDIT: I just realised that this is a windows app. Nice work man! I thought you were suggesting it was android app. I was going to say that that would mean that your device IS working when you've lost the efs folder? hahhaa

Will star you thread now :D

Oh btw I have an auto-backup script as part of the installation procedure of new ROMs via CWM in recovery ;) Yell out if you need it or want it. Happy to share

so ICS is going to the SGSIII first and the source code is out first!!! really samsung really????

http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=l710

i see us getting jellybean before ICS, well official OTA ICS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boi2gangsta:
Not too long before we get ours then
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nthornton1990:
No offense but people have been saying that for months. I am just as guilty. Everyone just needs to sit back and wait for the official ota. And honestly OP why does it surprise you that they released to S3 first? Financially think about it, why would samsung put out an update for a phone that is basically old news.

Dont get me wrong I love my e4gt but the s3 has much better specs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonapunk:
It doesn't bother me that the s3 is getting it first it bothers me that sprint is the only galaxy s2 that doesn't have it yet both att and tmobile have it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mastergrimm28:
I totally agree with that statement.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
is the E4GT the only one to have the eMMC hard brick bug?

or the only one it hasn't been fixed? officially?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
I believe the Galaxy Note has it too (or had).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
it did and still does (i believe) but it also only has leaked ICS just like the E4GT. we are talking about the T-mobile and ATT SGSII got the ICS OTA already
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] euphoria:
Why does everyone care? Isn't that the reason that we are all on this site? To make our phones better then anything that is delivered OTA by Sprint? Sure the ROMs would be even better with source, but many of them are already incredibly good, and probably better then any stock ROM...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamcar:
i dont really care for an OTA but i would like the source. there is so much more we could do if we had it....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gharlane00:
Samsung is not holding up the show Sprint is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SkuzFoz:
It makes business sense. If we had ICS first I can easily see some people not upgrading to the S3. It has a nicer screen, a physical home button and better performance. That's really all it has over our S2.

The performance isn't even necessary, the S2 is still perfectly fast and will last us to the S4 at least.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bleyten:
Isn't the source for the Sprint E4GT out now? http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=l710

So something I've been really looking forward too, as well as a lot of other Android Tablet owners, is the upcoming Chameleon Home Replacement.

http://chameleon.teknision.com/

But why would I post this on the Galaxy Nexus forum????

Today, with the most recent Kickstarter update if you pledge $5 or more you get first access to Chameleon...for your phone!!!

Exciting stuff this is gorgeous, check it out, just posting this for informational purposes. I have nothing to do with Chameleon..

Check it out! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaborvida/chameleon-a-better-home-screen-for-your-android-ta-0

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Looks pretty cool for tablets but is there anything to see for phones yet? Would like to see something before throwing $5 in the trash.....

I think it would work for the Gnex. Its 4.0.4 which is above 3.2, and the screen reso is 1280 by 720, which is HD and need for this. I hope it works anyways. :D

My only concern would be battery life...

Would having that much dynamic content essentially amplify the same issue as having a live wallpaper?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Live wallpaper has had little affect on battery life for the last few Android releases. Screen on time and talk time is what will affect battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Well...if you take into consideration that people stare at Live walls...they tend to hurt battery indirectly :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
stop staring at yourself in your live wallpaper adrynalyne!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
Thanks for this. I was really hoping they'd release it for phones, but it seemed they had no interest in it a month or so ago. The UI looks great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
That hurt.

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
but i feed on your tears! ( <3 )

anyways, i put the $5 to get the phone version and of course the tablet one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
Yeah for $5, it's not bank breaking and it looks pretty good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superchilpil:
If they don't get their kickstarter put on hold this time and make a new one I might back them up again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
Yeah doubt that will happen, they have the issues squared away (or so they say) so they won't be susceptible to the problem they had the last time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
Oh this is awesome news for my Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Tab 10.1 - now they will be in harmony.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
This looks promising I will be following.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matistight:
Did we win? They're at $50K+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
Yeah I would say they did, this new project was set at $30k instead of $50k like the previous one to ensure they would hit it, they hit $30k day one, now they're above the original projects goal also.

It's pretty sweet, I love that based off of GPS location or WIFI network it will change the entire layout, that's what I'm looking forward to the most, and the pretty widgets and such.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] erikk:
Has anyone else been able to get Samsung Dive working? I look at the instructions:

And I don't have the "Find my mobile > Remote Controls" menu section at all. I did register a Samsung Account and a Google Account. Did AT&T remove this or something?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tdp252:
I would also like an answer to this question. There is no "lost device" settings anywhere that I can find.

Edit: Another T-Mobile user is reporting that these settings are missing. Looks like the US version might be lacking this feature.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
Most likely? Yes, they did it from the i777 also. AT&T wants you to use FamilyMap for tracking, but doesn't market such. I personally use Cerberus. Best tracking software I've ever had.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] daraj:
Yes AT&T removes the remote controls for obvious reasons. I believe most of their phones have this feature removed. Cerberus all the way. Phonelocator pro is good also.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tdp252:
I hope a custom ROM might bring this feature to us....
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
It did with the i777, but as I stated Cerberus is the way to go. With the fact that it can be saved in the system folder so even if you lose your phone you can always find it (it will survive a factory reset) that's the best option IMO
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] daraj:
I can never have it survive a factory reset!!!! It always disappear and the web site says "Problem communication with phone" Did u do anything special to have it stick in?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] naturefreak85:
Yea, you either have to install the CWM flashable version or follow their instructions to manually install it to the system folder through either Root Explorer or ADB/Terminal. If you don't install it to System it won't survive a factory reset (through the privacy menu or CWM -> Erase Data/Cache) if System is totally rewritten (like through a CWM update) you do have to reflash the software (it seems to persist but you have to actually open it to get it to show, it's easier to just reflash the CWM package)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Lappie2010:
Its missing from the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 as well.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big ach:
Sooooo... I decided to alter my Build.prop on my Droid Xyboard (Verizon Model), came to restart and well... now it won't boot... I get the Motorola Dual Core logo, but then just a black screen.

I made a copy of the original build.prop, but since my device won't boot, I can't access it. but I have another copy of it on my PC

Any suggestions on what I have to do now :-D Thanks guys!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucasarran:
Ouch. Have you connected your Xyboard to adb and check if you have adb shell, some have and some haven't from Xyboard bricks. It's worth a try. If not then these are the only options I can think of. :)

1. Wait for Motorola to unlock the bootloader

2. Some people have sent there Xoom2/Xyboard bricks to Motorola and they fixed but with extra charge.

3. Go to the Xoom Forum as they have Xyboard devs who can help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big ach:
Well I discovered I am unable to adb but I can fastboot and my pc recognizes my device, would I be able to push the correct build.prop through fastboot or maybe push an official update ?

Sent from my Motorola Atrix 2 with AT&T 4G
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runandhide05:
the problem is as followed

a) on the mz609 you device is locked, meaning you CANNOT fastboot flash any img that does not contain moto sig to the /system partition

b) fastboot is only for an img to be written to a partition, not to push a file :(

without adb you can not push a thing, and unfortunately you now have a fancy paperweight

things you can do with fastboot on your device,

flash the stock recovery img ( recovery partition allows fastbooting but the img still has to contain the moto sig)

you can also fastboot the boot.img but also must contain the moto sig

if you flash a boot or recovery img via fastboot that is not signed it will flash however on boot the device will boot directly to fastboot protocol with a img signature failure screen, and the ONLY way to bypass the failure screen is to re flash the original img.

That said there are no Official imgs released.

you can ( on a working device) dd = the partitions and save them as a backup. but like i said the system partition will not allow anything to be flashed.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big ach:
Thank you for your reply my friend. So basically what you are saying is that I have no other options but to send back to Motorola? :-(
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runandhide05:
Not to be rude... but no I'm saying you have a device that you bricked...

Motorola did not brick it...in fact Motorola took a lot of steps to ensure people don't brick it...

You voided your warranty the moment u rooted your device.

That's why I said a paperweight.. not a defective device that you should then have Motorola fix.

Now... if you call Motorola up and say

" I have a device that I have bricked by editing files in the system partition, and I would like to pay for you (Motorola) to fast boot flash my system partition back to stock, can I ship it to a repair facility? And how much will it cost?"

Then and only then would I ever suggest you sending it back.

And I say again I am not being rude. And do nit mean to offend
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big ach:
No offense taken... I've actually already contacted Motorola and explained the situation and told them that I rooted. They told me I have to send it in and it will cost $149 to fix.

Its a shame the Fastboot files aren't available... life would be simpler... but I really have no one else to blame but myself.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burban502:
Hi,

I tried searching, but it's such an odd question that it is hard to find a word combo that results in efficient, but relevant search results lol

What I'm looking to do: use the Galaxy S "Fascinate" as a PMP/DAP and not activate it as a phone at all, basically just a Galaxy S Player. I specifically decided on this since it uses the Wolfson DAC and fit my budget!

The problem: the person I purchased the phone from had (understandably) wiped it clean before sending it. When powered on it goes right to the "Press 'Send' to activate your phone" which only allows me access to "EMERGENCY CALL" / "SEND" options.

The question: How can I boot the phone into Airplane Mode, or bypass the Activation screen (either permanently or temporarily so I can then turn on Airplane), so I can then use it as a PMP?

If you need any info, please ask, I'll provide all I can with what I have! I do have a USB cable for it at least! If that'll help any...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
I got a Fascinate 2 weeks ago for the same purpose (works great, I might add). When I got it it booted into safe mode the first time (no clue on that, it was new to me). I put my google credentials in then. The next time (I think) it came up with the emergency call thing. What I can't remember is if it said anything about activating. I just went through, set things up, played for a day, then rooted & rommed it.

Where Verizon doesn't do sim's I think you will be safe to keep going after the activation screen. It will spin it's wheels for 30 seconds then keep going. It won't be on their network since you didn't call Verizon, so oh well. I keep it in airplane mode with wifi toggled on & no shortcuts to the dialer anywere.

I am using Skankwhich's CM9 rom. Using Titanium I have frozen a bunch of stuff with no ill effects, including: setup wizard, talk, voice search, various live wallpapers, apollo, com.android.smspush, email, exchange services, sms/mms pref...(it goes off the screen), pico tts, rom manager, sound recorder, voice dialer, vpn dialogs. There is more that can be frozen. I haven't finished messing with it.

Do not freeze [voicemail] phone, or sms/mms/apn phone/messaging storage, or contacts. You might not need them but bad stuff happens.

Good luck & enjpy!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burban502:
Well hells bells! Thanks man I'll definitely have to go ahead and give that a go. I figured it was actually calling the network heh

EDIT: Well it had started calling after I got signal, so I canceled it quick lol But then I remembered you had powered off and back on (first I found out holding power brings up an option menu which included Airplane Mode), so I did that. Powered back on and HORRAH! It booted right into the main Android screen ^_^

Thanks again, no telling how long I would've sat on that screen lol

Hi guys!

Have you heard about Tap for tap?

It's basically a app advertising system for those of us that want to advertise our apps but can't afford it. The system works as follows:

1. Intergrate their SDK and start showing apps.

2. For every add that you show a user, your app will be shown as a add in someone elses phone.

This basically means if 1000 people used your app one day, they would be exposed to 1000 adds, and your app would be advertised 1000 times.

Phenomenal isn't it?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabbytown1:
Ok so I am a complete noob when it comes to this stuff :( I am very sorry but I will need a big walkthrough on this. OK I'll tell you where I'm at. I have a Captivate (ver. 2.1 Eclair) and I want to update to the latest version. I tried getting Keis and Keis Mini but neither of them recognize my device. I have a Mac computer and I installed the drivers for the phone but that did no good :rolleyes: Also, I would like to root my phone to get non-market apps you know, but all the flashing and which program to use is very confusing to me. Just reading the forums trying to help myself just makes my head spin. Which do I use? Heimdall or Odin? What is the safest way to backup my phone incase anything goes wrong? I've been trying so hard for months now but I still can't get anything accomplished. I just need someone very experienced to teach me, a person who is almost completely new to all this tinkering and etc. Thank you guys so much! :laugh:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crashdamage:
Can't help with Kies and updating. I've never had a Samsung phone. Sorry.

No need to root to get non-market apps. Go to: Settings > Security > Unknown sources and check 'Allow installation of non-market apps'. However, installing non-market apps can be risky and is NOT recommended.

Ok so I just rooted my phone. Not sure how I can tell I did, but I did. Since I have a Mac, many forums are no use to me. Especially when flashing (p.s. I don't even know what that means) I downloaded the latest Heimdall on my Mac, but I have no idea how it works, or how to get ROMS. What do kernals do because I see those are needed? Also, when I rooted my phone, aren't I able to install non-market apps onto my phone? Because I have a .apk file for the Amazon Market app on my internal SD card but it still doesn't allow me to install it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Purchase these 2 app's from the market. You will first need to set up a Google account and a Google Pay account.

Mobile Odin

and

SuperUser

You need to root the system before installing SU
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabbytown1:
My only concern is being able to instal non-market apps. How will I complete this using these two apps? Is there a specific ROM I need to download?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
No, installing these 2 items will unlock the phone. It will also make it possible to install a rom whenever you want. Superuser access is what allows you to use the app's you are looking for. You need Odin installed to install superuser.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabbytown1:
Also, I bought both of the apps. I couldn't get the update for Superuser Elite, and Mobile ODIN doesn't work because it says it can not find the Mobile ODIN package...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
did you read the directions on Google Play on how to install? Did you Google/YT using Mobile Odin on Captivate?

While we are all here to help, you need to do some legwork.

What have you learned in searching the I897 forum?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabbytown1:
Ok so, I know the best way to be able to install non-market apps is by flashing the rom Cognition, but the download is no where to be found. but before I get the ROM I need Rom Manager right? I got it, but can't use it because I bought it without getting the free version first to get the actual files. Why? because I figured my device isn't rooted. If I were to root the Captivate, I would be able to download the free version. I tried rooting with the One-Click root that I downloaded, which is the only one that I saw on the wiki that actually seemed plausible. It doesn't work. It is supposed to push an update.zip to my SD card and it is there. but when I go into Recovery Mode, the option to choose the Update.zip isn't there. So know I know what I need to do.

1. Find a working rooting program for my mac

2. Get the free version for Rom Manager

3. Find a link and download the Cognition ROM

4. Flash the ROM onto my phone and then I should be able to install APK files from my SD card right?

ugh....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Lets do 1 thing at a time.

uninstall the apps How to Once un-installed. reboot the phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightHawk877:
What you need to do is go to the Captivate section of this forum and install Apex 12.5. It has a one click Heimdall package. Put your phone into download mode by holding down both volume buttons and plugging it into the computer. Follow the instructions and you are now running a custom ROM.
