[Motorola Droid RAZR] maximus.com:
Hi, im from south africa and im not sure what sort of razr i have.

SYSTEM VERSION 65.1.12.XT910.MERetail.en.06

BUILD NUMBER 6.5.1_73-spd-ird-12

ANDROID VERSION 2.3.5

This sexy machine is my upgrade from my current rooted SE XPERIA X10i 2.3.3

Before i start transfering info from old to new i would like to upgrade

to ICS, root sothat i can remove unwanted stock apps, put on a funky

boot animation, and get ride of those unwanted adds on apps, but where do i start?

BTW very cool tht moto already has a recovery mode. On the XPERIA i used XRECOVERY.

If theres anybody out there that can point me in the direction of some helpful thread

that would be awesome. Everything I've learn about android has come from XDA.

BEST SITE EVER

Edit: ok, so i think i have a GSM handset, anybody??

Hi there,

I have yet to find a specific answer searching other threads, so I am posting here...

Is there a way to Root the updated Tmobile ICS update?

I thought about flashing another ROM like Cyano9, etc. but mostly I want to remove the crappy bloatware that is on the ICS update.

Obviouslly, I don't want to brick my device, but all I've seen on the forums are the Gingerbread versions of the root process...I've heard it won't cooperate with the same methods using it for ICS.

Thanks...
[General Questions and Answers] Irfdiddy:
just flash CWM to your phone via odin, then in recovery mode just install zip from sd (the file is superuser.zip which you can download from almost anywhere) click superuser.zip and voila:) ----attached superuser zip below

Hello

Running CM9 ICS Build BCM RC4.0U1 on HTC Desire. Everything works great except for MMS. I can not send or receive picture messages. I have tried alot of the tricks used to correct it for CM7 Froyo but I can't make any of them work. Tried going to voice dialer, say open APNs and add apn for cellcom. Also changed apns-conf and that didn't work.

Has anyone been able to get MMS working with CM9 ICS on Cellcom(WI)? I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!!

Found this last week. It plays pretty good and is fun, but I despise touchscreen controls. This game would be awesome if it had d-pad / touchpad (definately touchpad, d-pad at least) support. What are your thoughts? I'm going to email the developer and request that he add the support.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I believe the game may have been removed from the market. To be honest I was surpised to see it as I am sure Tue maker of the game probably did not ask Lucasfilm if its OK to make the game. I am unable to find the game in the market via a search either. So I can only guess its been removed
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rogue Leader:
I wanted to say, that Dev wasted a whole lot of time making that game, and expecting to get away with selling it and making money off of LucasFilm's IP.

Looked like a cool game, but don't expect to ever see it return.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Yup, it has been yanked. I agree... he wasted his time. However though the game was pretty fun to playm too bad no xperia play support. And now it will never happen fo obvious reasons.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schwartzman93:
I've been trying since last night to root my Nexus, because I want to install Jelly Bean. When I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to install my drivers it did fine for adb. When I go into device manager it shows up as Android Phone like its supposed to. However, when I boot into fastboot mode, my computer no longer recognizes my Nexus and when I got into device manager, nothing shows up for it...not even Android 1.0.

Can someone please give me some tips as how to fix this issue.

P.S. I also installed the Google SDK along with the Google USB drivers afterwards, hoping that would fix the issue...but no luck...and I tried PDAnet...still no luck

The issue I was having was due to the fact that I wasnt pressing Volume Up+Volume Down+Power, so I wasnt even in fastbook, but a screen similar to it

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] AndroidFan4:
Connecting some dots here. This is pure speculation and it might sound crazy but hear me out.

It has been rumored for a while that Google is adding a dockable desktop mode in Android, maybe similar to the WebTop OS in some Motorola Phones. There have been patents filed and reports claiming that it would release in Jelly Bean. That obviously didn't happen but maybe it is coming in 5.0 (Key Lime Pie?)

Samsung changed the MHL connector from a 5-pin configuration to 11-pin on the Galaxy S3. People were upset because their old MHL adapters would no longer work. Why did they change it? Changing to the 11-pin configuration allows USB Host support (OTG) with HDMI support simultaneously. I have yet to find a connector with both HDMI and USB ports so I'm assuming they are saving this functionality for down the road.

With a desktop mode, more RAM will obviously be needed with increased multitasking. Samsung reportedly upped our S3's to 2GB ram to make it more "future proof" for potential Jelly Bean hardware requirements, which ended up not being even close to required. Perhaps they were thinking that Jelly Bean would bring a desktop mode, but it was saved for a future Android release? Or perhaps they are planning on implementing some sort of Ubuntu for Android functionality?

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Randomacts:
Hmm any bored people with experience want to try splicing a 11 pin MHL cord into a OTG and 5 pin MHL? Thinking about it now.. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible unless software is limiting it.. *And at that point is where I guess the devs come in*
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] danben7:
This is excellent I just recieved my S3 MHL 11-pin connector, now to try it out tonight with OTG.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] icarus78:
Hi danben7, does your mhl cable support simultaneous hdmi and usb-otg? I just ordered the Motorola Lapdock and was hoping to rig a set of cables to enable to use my S3 as a mini-laptop thru the Lapdock.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] danben7:
Nope, unfortuanetely it's not possible. MHL to HDMI needs the charger to be plugged in to the extra port.

Unless in the future samsung release a new MHL connector with OTG together, i don't see it happening. Honestly I don't know why they changed to an 11pin connector.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bergfex:
I totally see this happen for several reasons.

It will be the perfect competitive to Win8

Key Lime pie could suggest a big change since L follows K in the alphabet

At the IO they said the chose ASUS because the like what the do with the transformer series

The new Chrome OS version (v19 and newer) looks like the tablet mode of ICS.

Just add on-screen buttons next to the running apps and enable Widgets

Onskreen and Wind River show that Android can easily support a multi-window mode

Ubuntu on Android looks very promising

The 5 Nexus devices rumor suggest a Key Lime Pie launch before christmas

The 5 Nexus devices will include a ASUS device (I think) -> a ASUS device that is no 7incher will

be a perfect fit for a desktop mode

At least a slow joining between Android and Chrome OS is confirmed by leading Chrome OS developers

I think JB is just a antedated part of the planned yearly release cycle, to compete with Amazone and to

push Android Tablets

Sorry for not providing Links
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AndroidFan4:
Has anyone found a MHL cable that also includes a USB OTG port? Samsung reportedly changed from a 5-pin configuration to an 11-pin configuration to allow MHL with USB Host mode simultaneously. Perhaps for a future Desktop Mode?

Has anyone been able to find one of these cables?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AndroidFan4:
Just wanted to update, I believe I found the type of connector that I was looking for, but it is missing HDMI and it is sold out. This essentially could give you PC type connectivity on the S3.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Shikyo:
I think we still have a bit of a wait. What you found is essentially a USB OTG hub with some card readers built in. I seriously doubt this will pass through the pins for HDMI to work out of the usb port. We'll see something when this phone finally launches everywhere. It's not even out in the US officially yet :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kynolin:
EDIT: Sorry, didn't see the article in the link in the OP. Man.. I might have to get me a GS3 now. I'm quite satisfied with the reasoning for a pin change. =)

Samsung sells 11 pin MHL adapters and USB female to Micro USB male adapters on their accessories page, but I'm not sure if you could piggy back the USB input into the charging port of the MHL cable. I don't see any all in one cables on their site, and the desktop dock is just micro usb/audio. I tried.. =(

Here's what I was looking at.

Old and mostly unrelated. See edit.

I happened to buy what looks exactly like that adapter today earlier at Micro Center. Now, I do have a Galaxy Nexus, but the USB OTG works great with keyboards/usb/mice/hubs; however, I cannot get it to simultaneously work with my MHL adapter. I understand the GS3 has a different pin layout though for MHL - my phone works with my MHL adapter correctly, but I didn't think it would have any change on the USB OTG. I'll most likely be breaking these apart and start tinkering. My goal is to show people how much of a full desktop-like experience I can provide from my phone, since so many people somehow think a GNex or GS3 are inferior to tablets, just because they're smaller... lol

Good luck finding information out on some kind of MHL/USB OTG setup. I'm just trying to provide any information I can from how my situation works with MHL/OTG, since I'm currently on the quest to achieve this myself.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kthung:
I'm not really sure why people think they NEED MHL and USB OTG simultaneously to get a "desktop-like experience". You can already accomplish this with just a plain MHL cable and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse as was demonstrated in the Connectivity Demo video on youtube.

Edit: Actually I just remembered about portable hard drives. If you want to hook up a mouse, keyboard AND hard drive I wonder if you can plug all three into a powered USB hub connected to a bluetooth dongle. Hmm...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gedster314:
I'm looking for a dock with USB OTG, charging and MHL. Maybe some day.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] v8bait:
I believe this is already capable. Everything I say here is purely speculative, but what I see is that Samsung moved to a 11-pin connector for MHL and the standard 5-pin is no longer functioning. To call it MHL, they probably have to use the same standards for data encoding... but they simply "moved" the pins.

I put "moved" in quotes because of the way in which a standard 4 pin USB cable works (or 5 pin for our case)... you have a +5V, Ground, Data + and Data - (one data to phone, one data from phone, carrying ALL data). Since our phones still sync via 5-pin cables, this means the 5 pins are still "hot" for data like all other phones. I am presuming, that for the 11-pin connector, Samsung simply added a few more data+ and data- connectors (much like having two or three USB ports on a normal computer) but consolidated the ground/5V reference. I could be wrong, but it would make sense.

Lets call the stock 5 pin data connectors (2 wires) USB1. This is where MHL is conventionally sent through and all sycing can be completed through, 5 pin cable or 11 pin cable. If samsung added two additional USB ports to the single connector, lets say MHL is now over USB2 (wires inaccessible to 5 pin connectors). This frees up bandwidth and COM ports on USB1 and USB3 to use for accessories like a USB hard drive and keyboard/mouse. On a 5 pin connector, however, only USB1 is accessible. The Samsung 11pin to 5pin MHL adapter simply moves the data+/- from USB2 to USB1 (standard 5 pin location), so with the adapter you are syncing/exporting video over USB2 on the phone with a standard 5pin cable.

My thinking is such: If you plug in the OEM 11pin MHL adapter, it will also have access to the standard 5pin USB1 connection. Since USB2 is used for MHL, you can then plug any OTG device into the micro USB connector on the MHL adapter to make use of it. The only problem here is power (or lack thereof). By plugging in a USB hub with a discrete power source, plugging this into the MHL adapter, and plugging in the USB device of choice into the HUB, you *SHOULD* be able to get simultaneous data and HDMI. This assumes they put the standard 5 pins to the connector on the side of the MHL adapter and only wired the HDMI to the USB2 area.

Alternatively, you *SHOULD* be able to plug the micro USB cable from the MHL adapter into a computer, and simultaneously be able to sync files while outputting HDMI video. It sort of just comes down to being able to provide power to the MHL adapter on the +5V pin while using the data pins to access the phone. As soon as I have my MHL I'll figure it out, but that could be a bit. If anybody has access to a pinout from a Samsung 11 pin micro USB that would be helpful too.

Again, just dreaming here. I don't know anything about this, but if I was the engineer at Samsung I would choose this over analog outputs like Apple used for their giant connector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] faulkton:
for me at least i already have several keyboards and mice ... none are bluetooth.

I'm looking for the cheapest option available.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] c4v3man:
I'm just hoping someone releases a cable with 4 plugs:

Male MHL - To Phone Obviously

Female MicroUSB: To plug in charger

Female HDMI - To Display

Female USB - To USB Device

That's all I want... should cost less than $2 to make, just sell it for $20 and I'd be happy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] icarus78:
hi v8bait, are you able to get data thru the micro usb port at the side of the 11-pin mhl adapter? i was thinking of using the motorola lapdock with my s3 thru the mhl adaptor (other then a micro hdmi male connector, the lapdock also has a micro usb male connector that apparently send out power as well as push keyboard/trackpad data upstream) - if it works, we can have an inexpensive "clambook" :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] romulusram:
Just to recap,

Will this we possible:

Official MHL adapter -> hdmi to monitor.

>OTG cable> Powered USB hub> USB keyboard & mouse.

In other words, the PC Experience with a keyboard and mouse.

Dont really want to spend the money to buy a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse when the USB ones can work just fine (theoretically).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] macdroid01:
I am also very interested in this exact thing. Using USB devices (multiple ones, e.g. plugging a powered USB hub into S III and then plugging them in) but also putting out S III video to HDMI.

However the other workaround is using AllShare Cast. In fact that is the route I'll likely go, because of the other unique advantages of AllShare Cast (i.e. using it for presentations to screens, etc.)

So: has anyone plugged a powered USB hub into S III and used multiple devices? Such as a keyboard and mouse?

I also want to use this S III more as a computer. the other perfect thing I wish I could buy would be a keyboard case, like the one available for iphone, so I can prop the S III up on a kickstand and use a real mini-QWERTY physical keyboard.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] faulkton:
We're in the same boat; i want to use the s3 like a mini computer too. I think it'd be great for business travel, when i dont really need a laptop during the day but want something when i'm back in hotel room. I'd much rather use hotel TV instead of a laptop because that's what i am used to at home... pc hooked to TV.

I've been planning to use the allshare cast dongle too, but they dont seem to be available yet. I was thinking HDMI out with the allshare.. charging with the wireless charging kit and then keyboard and mouse with USB OTG. My logitech unifying receiver for keyboard/mouse works perfectly i just need the wireless charging and allshare dongle to be released.

For what it's worth I tried a powered USB hub and could not get it to work with the s3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] romulusram:
Wait so your saying you tried a (a) powered USB hub with a OTG cable connected to the phone or you tried a (b) powered USB hub connected with a OTG cable to the MHL adapter and then to the phone?

If it was (a) then there are some vids out there of ppl using powered USB hubs.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] romulusram:
So has anyone received their Official MHL adapater and tried USB OTG?

Very interested in this.,,:confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] astralmind:
I'm puzzled that there aren't any more postings about this kind of stuff. I was expecting the GS3 to be easy to use as a "PC" replacement but it seems no one besides us few wanted to do that ? A simple cable should have done it but I'd even be willing to shell out 40-50$ for a decent dock that would do just that
[Galaxy S III Accessories] perusmuro:
Me too.

But it is possible to get that this way working:

S3 -> Mobile Fun Connection Kit -> microusb -> HDTV Adapter TIP (5 to 11 Pin Converter) -> MHL HDMI adapter

-> USB -> keyboard etc.
