[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] TexasRules777:
So I've seen from my friends stock kindle that hulu plus is available from the Amazon app store for the fire. But when you have a custom rom it's not available from the app store but is from the market and that app unfortunately doesn't allow you to do anything but log in and browse. I've used both the portrait and landscape modded apks available on xda ,but they haven't been updated in months and the landscape one is especially jangy (missing thumbnails,etc). Hulu updated their app a few days ago and it looks gorgeous on my kindle..it just doesn't work. My rom like most others masquerades as a galaxy nexus and apparently they don't support that model so my question is..will changing my build prop back to a fire work? I'm guessing probably no but I thought I'd ask.

Yep..and it "works" its just that it hasn't been updated since Feb..the landscape mod is missing thumbnails and the portrait one is just that..portrait. The one from the market is light years ahead of both of those apks and I just wish I knew how to mod this new apk so it used the same checks as his modded apks.

Hello,

I've got a problem with my HTC Desire A8181. It hangs when the screen is locked, i mean i cannot unlock it. When i press power button the screent doesn't turn on. First i thought its problem with cyanogenmod, so i switched rom. Tried Cyanogenmod 7.1 & 7.2, Aurora 6, GingerBurst 1.0.0.3, RevolutioN 4, RSK 7.4.3. And none of them was my problem-free. Then i thought it's button mulfunction, but i enabled the ability to unlock it using trackball... Well i'm not able to do so. The only thing i can do when it hangs is to reset it by removing battery.

Do you have any ideas?

Hello All,

Took my S3 out of my pocket today and noticed that the screen has a crack all the way from the bottom left corner to the home button (picture attached). I have had my S3 for about two weeks now and am really disappointed with the quality of the product. I always keep the screen facing inwards towards my leg so am really at a loss as to how I managed to crack it.

I bought the phone from Amazon UK and am wondering if I can get a replacement stating manufacturing defect or should I contact Samsung directly.

Any ideas?

TIA.
[Galaxy S III General] NatTheCat:
Ouch feel sorry for you mate. No insurance I take it?

If you can prove it was a defect you have a good leg to stand on. They might realize if they can't find and marks or impact points. Good Luck as you will need it..
[Galaxy S III General] PollPixx:
You can always try to get it replaced but I think the chance will be small they will replace the phone as it is cracked, they will definitely blame it on force from outside. Are there more phones cracked this easily as you described it that you are aware of?

Sorry to hear you cracked the screen, imo the phone is quite strong, mine dropped by accident from three feet high without any damage. But that doesn't get you anywhere, I know that...

Now I look at the cracked screen it looks like something pressured the left side of the home button strongly.

[Galaxy S III General] ExodusC:
Sometimes this just seems to happen. I've only seen one other person who had this happen with a Galaxy S3, but I've heard stories like this since the Nexus One came out.

I'm guessing some devices just happen to have structural integrity problems with their glass, I don't really know if much can be done because of how extremely rare it is.
[Galaxy S III General] jambotech:
You should have got insurance or been.more careful. It is **** when this happens buddy.

They (Samsung/amazon) will not exchange it for any reason as it will be seen as damaged caused in your possession and that when it was sold there were no cracks or anything.

I work for a phone retailer and deal with this kind of thing at least once a week.

Try protect your bubble or something like that , then make a claim.

Hope you get it sorted.
[Galaxy S III General] Tinderbox (UK):
It looks like the glass underneath the home button is not very thick only a few mm, and looks to be the weakest point on the phone screen, see how it`s broken on the bottom left corner of the home button.

[Galaxy S III General] derfo:
Nope, no insurance unfortunately. Forgot to mention that the phone was protected by a gel tpu case...

I've sent stuff back to Amazon within the 30 days they have for returns that were broken. Just stated return under poor quality, faulty and they just asked if I wanted another or a refund. Not £500, under a ton. But they are pretty good with returns.
[Galaxy S III General] RedBlueGreen:
Don't bother with Samsung.. they are a waste of time. Contact Amazon.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
Funny thing is I`ve been not only reading, but also hearing lots of reports about the fragility of the S3. Bad thing is that I got mine last week. I am being extra careful with it.

I wonder if Samsung realizes they have delivered such a fragile product.
[Galaxy S III General] jambotech:
I've also heard that. But here's some sort of consolidation I have had 4 people come back into my shop with cracked screens on their HTC one x's, some claiming it just happened , others that they pressed hard on the screen etc. (Regardless how it happened the screen is still cracked)

Some had insurance (so only insurance excess to pay) and the others who didn't, HTC only charged them 79.99 for either a replacement phone or the screen fixed. ( which in my experience in a new £500 expensive smart phone is amazing)

So there you have it. **** happens. No phone is perfect and mistakes happen.
[Galaxy S III General] derfo:
Thank you all for your replies.

I contacted Amazon today and they were quite open to doing a refund/replacement. I went for a replacement as I am quite happy with the phone overall. Glad I bought the phone through Amazon.

Will most definitely get insurance on this puppy second time around!

[Galaxy S III General] slopokdave:
I too would do an Amazon return/exchange. You can do it through their site and never even have to talk to someone. I think you'll be fine as it doesn't look like it was dropped.
[Galaxy S III General] derfo:
If Amazon did not offer the replacement, I would have gone the Insurance route.

I did not drop the phone thankfully. And it was not like I was wearing tight skinny jeans or sumthin, the phone had plenty of room to breathe in the pocket but somehow I still managed to crack the screen. I have had a Nexus One for 3 years and I was able to keep that crack free without a problem. I understand that it is one of those things but I am not feeling the quality love from Samsung on this one.
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
maybe it was a bump from human traffic etc etc that you might not have noticed?

since you already said your pocket has lots of breathing room, the only time that pocket is going to be tight is when you're sitting down. i don't think the pressure from that would be enough.
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
Gorilla glass or not it looks like the GS 3 has extremely fragile glass on the front. I have dropped both my nexus one and my sensational xl a couple of times without problem. Neither of those devices had gorilla glass! Also several users in my country even reported cracks on the plastic back cover. This comes as a shock considering the first 2 galaxy s devices are well known for their toughness. why this sudden regression in durability?

Just a postive side, i have nothing but great things to say about the make of the phone.

but the Glass after all six drops.....FLAWLESS, no scratches no cracks. and all six were from waist up. lucky or not, i am impressed to say the least.

[Galaxy S III General] LiquidNarwhal:
The quality of the unit seems to vary wildly, some individual dropped his down a flight of stairs and not a scratch.

It's always funny that when something like this happens, somehow the "quality" of the device is put into question. Like seriously?

So what you're telling me that you, the OP, and countless others somehow receive a bad batch with shattered bezel? :rolleyes: I've seen this phone being dropped waist-high facing different directions and none of them suffered from broken bezel unless it was being dropped repeatedly (and which phone wouldn't?). Guess what, I've had 5 different smartphones and none of them were dropped, get bumped on a hard surface, or scratched up....and get this...none had any broken/shattered parts. Amazing right?..
[Galaxy S III General] Se23:
Only 5, I buy 3 phones a year to play with (2nd hand) and have done that for many many years. Yes it is amazing that you have never dropped a phone but do not disregard what I said!!! The crack was there before I dropped it and the cracked bezel thread is full of people that have them. Back on topic THIS PHONE IS NOT BUILT WELL! I would never trade it in or sell it as I love the s range but I've built tree houses with better quality.

I want to use 2 batteries for travelling where I need a lot of juice for GPS.

One battery will be recharged with the S2. The other battery with an Anker wall charger. That's just a plan right now ;)

I would like to know something concerning the best recharging strategy & battery "calibration" if you are using more than one battery:

If you are using only one battery it's quite simple how to calibrate the system.

But if you are using 2 batteries alternating then you can run into trouble, because the system is "calibrated" to the first battery.

That means if you are using battery1 until 0%. The system knows battery empty. I you are putting the 2nd - already recharged with a external wall charger - into the S2 then I wouldthink that the system is confused, because you didn't recharged it internal.

I want to use 2 batteries for travelling where I need a lot of juice for GPS.

So I would use the first battery until 0% and then change to the 2nd which is already recharged and then draining it until 0% and then again recharging.

The other strategy would be drain the first battery until 0%, then using the 2nd until the evening and then recharging both during the night. But I think this strategy will confuse the system.

Hope you understand the problem and I hope someone knows the best solution!

Thank you for your help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
You don't need to calibrate the battery on the s2. The device should fix the percentage by itself. I would not recommend that you drain the battery fully to 0% as i have heard that it could damage the battery and use multiple cycles for the one you drain it. If you're running SiyahKernel you can try to reset the fuel chip in extweaks. Some say that it's a placebo but I seem to think that it works.

Hope that helps you out :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manmikey:
You are over complicating this, just change the battery when it's flat and everything is ok.. I have 4 batteries, two Samsung and 2 off ebay, I always have one in the phone (obviously!), one charged in my pocket and one in the desktop charger.. Never have to worry about battery life:-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarontsl:
The batteries should be charged just right if you use the wall charger, however sometimes when you charge in the phone, it might stop at 96% or somewhere around there, sometimes I off the phone and charge, gets it to 100% :)

You shouldn't worry about calibrating or whatever, new batteries with li-ion battery should be okay without calibration :)

Again, sorry to bring this thread back to life.. However I was wondering if anyone has had issues with using two batteries and having the "fuel gauge" chip fault on them. On my previous Galaxy S3 the chip that is dedicated to measuring battery stats, as found on many other phones, developed issues. This lead to the phone registering increases in battery percentage while off charger - basically the battery history graph at any given time had a 60% chance of going down and 40% of going up.

Could the use of two batteries caused the "fuel gauge" chip to malfunction?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Maybe temporarily. But charging it to full and/or resetting the fuel gauge running a kernel that supports same fixes that issue easily.
[General Questions and Answers] sauron82:
I'm running a custom rom (CM7.2-RC3-APOCALYPSE-BAREBONE v12-06-12, by itasoulas, based on CM7.2 RC3 by vo-1 v31-05-12) on my Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830D). I'm about to flash a newer version of the custom rom, but I wanted to add Titanium Backup and S2E to the rom, so that my ext partition is mounted automatically after flashing, and Titanium Backup is already on and ready to restore.

I have the apk files for S2E & Titanium, do I just add them to the system/app folder in the rom zip? Or do I put them in the data/app folder, in which case I'd have to create said folder in the rom zip? Please let me know, as it would let me eliminate a whole 2/3 steps in the flash/restore process (flash->install S2E->reboot to mount ext->install Titanium->restore becomes flash->restore).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd post this in the CM7.2-RC3-APOCALYPSE thread, but this is my first post and I'm not allowed to post there yet.
[General Questions and Answers] sauron82:
As you can see, I didn't get any response from my post, so I rolled the dice and went for it.

So here's how it works for those who don't know:

To add system apps to a rom, place the apk files in the system/app folder in the zip. If you want the apps installed as user apps, place them in the data/app folder in the zip. Worked like a charm. I flashed, booted, configured S2E (installed w/rom), rebooted, ran Titanium Backup and restored everything.

BTW, I was also able to add the APN info for my carrier into the rom. You can do that by editing the apns-conf file in the system/etc folder in the zip. This is handy because when I flash a custom rom I have no APNs set up, as well as no wireless networks saved, so by doing this I was able to run the initial setup when you first reboot the phone (instead of just skipping it, missing Gapps, and adding my account later).

Hope this helped for anyone who is interested.
