Hey all, I was considering buying a pair of these bad boys. I was also considering getting the apt-x transmitter for another $50 with them. So a pair of Bluetooth headphones and the transmitter for about $150 American. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I really would like to buy a good pair of Bluetooth headphones, but not in ear buds or anything behind the neck. I was wondering if these looked good to anyone or if there's another pair I should get instead. :)

Thanks in advance guys!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] masterex567:
Well.

The most popular ones are JVC, Beats, SkullCandy and Philips. In the nowaday market though....

Who knows why my bluetooth headset volume is so low?!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Accessories] thatdude02:
You could try using an app like Volume+ or Volume Control. Just search "volume" in the play store. They should be able to increase the output volume of your Bluetooth audio.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
Hello, i had to jump in the pool because my son was struggling in the water. Forgot my phone was in my pocket.

I tried it out by taking the battery cover off, leaving it in rice for a day and a half, etc. I thought it was totally fine, because it powered up Monday around 7am, and it was fine. Well, it went through some boot loop stuff, but then I went to CWM recovery, reset phone from there, and it was good.

Then, around 4:30pm, after I had it plugged in charging for about 40 min, don't know if that's significant because I had charged it earlier the same day w/o problems.

Anyways, around 4:30pm, I went to silence my phone, and it just shut off. And wouldn't restart. Battery Pulls, nothing. Won't even charge.

AGH! what should I do?

I don't want to pay the $100 deductible through Verizon, especially since I am getting the gsIII next week. However, I wanted to keep this phone around, use it occasionally, let my kids game on it, etc.

Should I try opening it up? Like, get those fancy screw drivers and remove screws and open it up? What could have happened? is this repairable? I am wondering if there was water that hadn't quite disappeared in the phone, and it shorted out (insert technical term here) or something.

it's sitting in rice now... :(

Okay, let me know, thanks, guys!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dragn4rce:
Well first question is.

Is your contract nearly up and would be be planning to get a new phone???

I think personally, u should go on eBay and just buy another Android Phone.(Nexus, Another Dinc, Etc)

Or just get the Dinc 4G LTE.

Trust me it's not worth fixing a water damaged device. The problem always returns in the future.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
You may have damaged it, by turning it on and also charging it, while there was still water inside. You should have let it sit in rice for at least 3 days, preferably 5, before even attempting to turn it back on. But that is the past, and you can't go back (now you know for the future).

It might be worth trying to take it as apart as you can (maybe opening it if you can easily do it, if not just battery and cover) and puting it back in rice for a few days and then trying again. If something was damaged, it probably would be impossible or not worth it to repair.

You have to decide if you wanna pay the $100 to replace. $100 for a new, working phone is not that expensive. That way you got something to play the occasional game on, let your kids play with it, use it as an mp3 player or whatever, and even have a backup phone. If I were you I would replace it for the $100 (if i had the $100 to spare!) because it's always good to have a backup phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
yes, in hindsight, i should have waited some more.

ugh. yeah, $100 in the end is not too too much... but i just spend $250 on the galaxy s III, but i don't know if spending $100 on my old phone is worth it.

i figure that it's kaput anyways, so there's no harm in removing the "void" sticker, right?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
heh well warranty doesnt cover water damages right? as long as the water indicators are changed, probably fine doing it :p
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyz400:
It could be a bad battery
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
thats what i was thinking
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkpod:
i wish, but i have tried several batteries, and none work. also, it won't even turn the indicator light on when plugged in.

thanks for the recommendation, i held off from opening it and just have let it sit in rice the past few days. i guess i'll try it out today, but i don't have much hope in it working. we'll see, though!~ there's a phone fix it store that has a machine that uses a liquid that removes most of the corrosion. only thing is that it's $100 to fix, if it doesn't work, it's like $50 for labor. and my deductible is $100.

maybe if it doesn't work... i can try and remove the corrosion by myself?

this may be a stupid question... but i know that wd-40 removes rust. bad idea to try and use small amounts on the corroded parts, if i can find them?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
hmm dude i wouldn't expect to find much corrosion in there it's not like it's been waterlogged for weeks. What's more likely is some chip or circuit fried, which would either be unfixable or hard to replace.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] likiud:
I was wondering if there's an app that can add a widget to the homescreen that shows which network band (850mhz / 1900mhz) the phone is connected to. I browsed the Play Store and couldn't really find what I need. I'm aware that I can enter a code on my dialer to get the info, but I actually want to monitor which band its connected to without going through that. So a widget would be helpful. ANyone know of such an app?

You can see, that the display casing or the display itself is somehow connected to the 4 pin holes that lead to the outside of the case.

Are those pins for display testing? Or is this done already at display supplier?

What could those pins be for?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tomaxda:
As most people have probably already heard, the "MHL" port on the SGS3 isn't compatible with existing MHL accessories or displays (so it isn't really an MHL port then is it). See this site for more on that.

Sammie has released some over-priced accessories for it, but buying those would reward and re-inforce this move (the only nasty thing the've done on an otherwise brilliant phone) and they would probably become landfill when you get your next phone. Besides, Sammie recently indicated that this port can do more, so I guess that means they will release a second round of video accessories for this phone, making the first round landfill even before you move on to your next phone.

So, if someone really needs video output for their SGS3, what are their options?

Samsung makes a wireless (Wi-Fi) streaming video dongle for the GSIII, but this too appears to be proprietary and possibly just for the GS3. It looks like there are standards coming for wireless streaming, but they aren't here yet (e.g. Miracast).

Are there other wireless video streaming devices that work with the SGS3?

Even better, though, has any other company created accessories that are compatible with the fake MHL port on the SGS3? The best would be something that worked with the SGS3 and with standards compliant MHL devices and displays (of which there are now > 100), but I don't know if that is possible.

Actually, for some users, something a bit different might work...

DLNA for example, which allows you to play content from your phone on any smart TV. It's not the same as 'video out' for your phone, but I think some poeple are just looking for a way to get media from their phone to their display. And DLNA is very widely supported standard now.

Also, these are low cost Android 4 devices in the form of an HDMI dongle - you plug them directly into your TV:

Infinitec Pocket TV

The Kogan Smart TV HDMI dongle
[Galaxy S III Accessories] firetruck41:
:meh: For $10 you can get the adapter from Samsung to use the old MHL adapters. The new adapter allows USB OTG, if I understand correctly, that is added functionality over what the old MHL offered. I don't think they changed just to make users buy new MHL adapters.

Sent from my android Iconia Tab using Forum Runner
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tomaxda:
First problem is that would mean you need an adapter for an adapter, which is a cumbersome solution.

More importantly, I believe that what you are saying is not true: I have reviewed the info from Samsung so far and it appears to me that the new adapter adapter does not support any of the additional capabilities (USB org) that Samsung has recently suggested that the 11pin port is capable of.

That means that there will be new accessories soon to enable that capability, so you will have 3 accessories for that one port, just to do one thing.

Apparently that is an implementation of the Wi-Fi alliances Miracast standard, which sounds great, but for now (i.e. until Android ships with it) it requires root access.

I know the package is the Azurewave AW-NH665 but there's no data sheet published for that. I'm hoping it's got at least a BCM4330 in it. Also hoping for BlueTooth 3.0.

Nice, just checked out your radio app. Would be very cool to get that working on the N7. Interestingly I noticed that although that firmware is present, the kernel is actually configured to use:

/system/vendor/firmware/fw_bcmdhd.bin

Not sure exactly what the implications are of that yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
There are 3 identical files, size 209,175 bytes, and they are for the WiFi core on the chip. Bluetooth and FM share a seperate core.

fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin

fw_bcmdhd.bin

fw_bcmdhd_p2p.bin

brcm_patchram_plus is a Broadcom proprietary replacement for hciattach and it loads the bcm4330.hcd file. I'm 100% sure because my FM app can do the same as brcm_patchram_plus.

The top of the HCD file contains: "AZW Module665 BCM4330B1 37.4 MHz Class 1.5 ExtLNA"

-----

There is not a single, easily available non-obscure Android tablet over 5" which supports FM. So if possible, even if it requires some hardware mods, the popularity of Nexus 7 will make it compelling for the combination of Android tablet and FM.

Further, FM transmit on Android is virtually unheard of. With access to the transmit antenna pins, this might be possible. There are LOTS of people who don't care about receive, but want transmit to their car stereo.

I expect to see a good number of hardware hackers looking to use the Nexus 7 as a built-in car/entertainment device.

I'm working on a theme for a different device and have got mist ICS layouts in place. This is a rooted 2.3.4 rom from zte. I've but one piece left to figure out and that's how to get the "X" where the clear button is in the notification dropdown. The res folder in the SystemUI.apk has button png's but the xmls seem to be calling the button images from the framework-res.apk instead of there. Anyway I'm looking for some guidance to get the "X" button in place and for the SystemUI.apk to call the images from its own drawables folder. Thanks in advance.

[Nexus 7 General] SladeNoctis:
So tablet ui is possible by a simple editing of the dpi of you Nexus 7.

Here's how you can do it yourself with an file explorer of your personal preference of file explorer.

For those wanting a explanation of what dpi does for your device read below

Requirements

1. Rooted Nexus 7

2. Have a nandroid backup and a backup of your original build.prop(just in case)

3. Any file explorer that has root access to your system files

4. A bag of jelly beans for a few snack moments :P

Note: i'm not responsible if your Nexus 7 explodes into a bunch of jelly beans.

Tip: once you have tablet ui change you font size by going into display settings to your preferred size.

Video Guide i made, late at night from a busy day...so if i talk funny blame the lack of nutrition and sleep :P

Method 1(Recommended)

1. Get Rom Toolbox Lite or Pro if you want to support awesome app

2. Swipe to performance and press build.prop editor

3. Now scroll down to ro.sf.lcd_density

4. Press on it and change the dpi to 160 dpi

5. After doing that press ok and back out

6. Reboot your Nexus 7 and enjoy some tablet ui goodness.

Method 2

Note: I'll be using ES File Explorer as my file explorer in this method

1. Get a file explorer such as MIUI File Explorer, File Expert, ES File Explorer

Note: For ES File Explorer go to settings allow mount rewritable and root access

2.Then go to system

Note: ES File Explorer just go to the star button on the top left hand side and click on the phone button and you will see the system folder

3.You will find a build.prop file make sure to make a copy of it and save it somewhere just in case for a backup.

4.Then click on the build.prop and open it with a text editor. (ES file manager has its own text editor called ES Text Editor...go figure :P)

5. Now scroll down to "ro.sf.lcd_density"

6. Now the original lcd density is 213 so the best result for tablet mode is 160 dpi

7. Save the file by press the menu button.

8. Reboot your N7 and then you got Tablet UI.

Method 3

1. Get Buildprop Editor

2. Navigate to system and find the build.prop

3. Then find the line with "ro.sf.lcd_density"

4. Now the original lcd density is 213 so the best result for tablet mode is 160 dppi

5. Now save the file and reboot your device. Enjoy

Update 07/05/2012 In my personal experience with LCD Density Modder, changing dpi works and will cause you issues(lost root, bootloop, softbrick).:( Will update if the app gets updated for support.

Update 07/18/2012 Working on a way to get tablet ui without touching the build.prop. Its going to take some time with my tight schedule but i'll do my best. For those that experienced no boot, or lost root

To gain root access / obtain clockworkmod / unlock bootloader with toolkit

To return to stock / unbrick you device

Now all thats left is to edit the systemui to get a more clean result. That will come soon.

If there's others ways to do this without causing harm to our tablets shoot me a pm and ill post it in the first post. Hope you guys find this helpful. :)

Enjoy some screenshot of tablet ui.

6. Now the original lcd density is 213 so the best result for tablet mode is going 170 and below.

7. Save the file by press the menu button.

8. Reboot your N7 and then you got Tablet UI.

Woah!?!? So this is native in JB? Just changing the pixel density will auto switch to tablet UI on reboot?

[Nexus 7 General] nerfman100:
Well yes. If they didn't keep the old tablet UI, there would be immense backlash from ICS tablet users.
[Nexus 7 General] adiliyo:
yes, this is essentially the same way ICS works as well, getting a certain pixel density kicks in the tablet UI

the padding on the bottom (in portrait) and sides (in landscape) is kind of annoying, going to try nova launcher to see if it can be lessened.

edit: nova set to a 10x10 with horizontal padding set to small and vertical set to none fixes that

tablet ui seems much more efficient use of screen space compared to the phone UI
