I'm looking for confirmation that Tweetcaster works or doesn't work for others on Jelly Bean roms.

I'm running Vicious v2 and v3, and Tweetcaster always fails when trying to connect to twitter. Plume is able to connect, though.

Any one have Tweetcaster working, and if so, which rom? Anything unique in your settings? I've tried SSL on and off to no avail (interestingly, on my HTC One X, Tweetcaster works no issues, but Plume fails to connect to Twitter if ssl is enabled).

Thanks.

That said, I also want to make a list of all the bug of this rom for helping the developers to ameliorate it.

Camera Bug: The image is shown by the camera but can't take photos. The app crashes when I try to use the internal camera. Using a custom camera app (like Instagram or CameraZoom FX) the bug is the same. The image is shown but can't take photos.

Apollo Bug: Sometimes when using Apollo (the app for music) it crashes.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JU57FL1P:
Hi,

As there are a few apps that support gamepads, but none of them seem to work as well as needed...

I have 2 original PS3 controllers and one Logitech Chillstream PS3 controller. I haven't tried original ones, but I got an USB adaptor gor my galaxy tab 8.9 and connected it... I can see the controller and even mess around with it on home screen and some other places, but I also use an app called XPadder on PC.

As I suck at coding stuff, it's nearly impossible for me to do. I'd like a way to remap stuff, or select areas on screen to map to buttons on the controller. so that it'd be possible to play every game with it.

The only extremely hard thing seems to be running it in the background with full support...

It's just an idea thou... I will not be able to make this... maybe someone could actually do it...

Thanks,

J

Hi All,

I'd like to start a thread listing USB DACs that are compatible with the Galaxy S3.

Here's what I've got or have read about:

Compatible:

Headphonia USB DAC cable (was very excited about this one!)

HRT MusicStreamer II

Fiio E7

Incompatible:

Fiio E17

M-Audio Transit

Can anyone add to this list?

Froot loop,

What file types did you play with the HRT MusicStreamer II? I'm interested in playing 16/44.1 and 24/96 FLAC files. Have you verified these or would you mind testing it for me?

Thanks in advance.

Are these DACs much better than the Wolfson DAC already in the SGS3?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Crey23:
Froot Loop Awesome Thread....I have a quick question does the E7 have EQ?

I am very interested on the Fiio products. At the moment I have been leaning towards the E11 for my laptop and occasional use with the SG3, but after reading this the E7 makes more sense as It should reproduce a better sound from my laptop as well. My IEM's are a bit bass heavy when listening on my laptop...on the S3 I have installed an EQ that has allowed me to shape the sound curve closer to my liking. My IEM are the Thinksound TS02+mic..they are really good, but depending on source, Low tones can dominate.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Bluerai:
Much less "noise" at the very least.. A whole enclosure just for a DAC would (generally) > one packed in a phone/ipod/etc

And I thought that the S3 didn't have the Wolfson?

That being said, I'll try to test my ObjectiveDAC if I can find some sort of micro to mini usb solution...

[General Questions and Answers] fca.sjc:
hello

i'm new at android phones and at this forum too but i'm used to follow any tutorials and find my answers on Google...

i bought a huawei ideos u8150... and i first installed cm7 then a rom called leanfusion. This last rom says the multitouch is working but mine wasn't. So i started to search and found that i needed to check what multitouch driver my phone uses. And i found that code for the menu test (*#*#2846579#*#*).

My problem is that when i dial that number... it just disappeared and nothing happens. I tried the google search in many way but i haven't found the answer i wanted. If anyone can tell me how to fix this or any other way to find that information ( using adb.. or another ways) i'll be glad.

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Are they talking bout the total rom capacity or just the /system partition.

For example on my G2 for internal storage the break down of the 2GB (which is not re-partitionable, sizes locked in):

system 409 MB

data 1309MB

cache 201MB

So if they're saying 512MB ROM are they talking strictly about /system, and if so does that likely count out the G2/Vision from the chance of an official rom.

It's not listed here : http://www.htc.com/www/help/android4faq/?cid=android4blog
[G2 and Desire Z General] rirozizo:
i think this is for dz not g2
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Same thing aren't they? (Like HTC Magic is to Tmobile MyTouch 3g)

As far as I can tell the only real difference between a Desire-Z and G2 is the radio bands available to it, FM Radio, and keyboard layout, but everything else is identical.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bogdan5844:
No, the difference extends to memory. That's why you need a Desire Z HBOOT in order to use Sense ROMs on a G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Though you can put a DZ HBoot on a G2 right? in which case if they did release an official Rom for DZ you would just require the Hboot for that extra 120MB of /system memory.

So the question would extend to that, does that mean with a Desire Z having 535MB of /system, that ICS in theory would be supported by HTC in the official sense.
[G2 and Desire Z General] C.Flat:
ram, not rom, is our problem
[G2 and Desire Z General] demkantor:
this is what i would assume as well. turns out htc did say ROM, i know strange as they could simply make a new hboot that partitions how large ROM would be on our phones. dont have the link at hand but they clearly are saying ROM - so i have no answer to why they wont update the g2/dz... stupidity? pure evil?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Ram was the original assumption til I seen many corrections to Rom. And as you said flashing a G2 with a DZ hboot would put you at about 549MB /system partition and larger 300M /cache, so if the system size of 512M min were the requirement you'd think that the HTC labeled DZ would at the very least qualify.

But far as why, probably doesn't have a large enough user base, and the device is old enough to not support without pissing off too many folks and probably aiming at making more profit by only offering official ICS to newer devices (or more popular models).

I only care for what an official ICS release from HTC/Quallicom(sp) would give to rom/kernel creators for our devices.
[G2 and Desire Z General] VaderSKN:
Ppl, it's RAM, not ROM. ROM, it's an operating system. HTC made a mistake. Again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
In which case the DZ/G2 is listed as "RAM:512 MB" would they still make the cut?
[G2 and Desire Z General] rirozizo:
maybe because it has ~380MB of usable RAM they won't update
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Though in their announcement did they actually say "must have 512MB 'usable'" ?

Makes more sense that they would be talking about total, as some of that 512 is used by the system.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
Doesnt matter what that HTC idiot replied, in your other thread. Its a RAM issue, its always been. If you notice, more than 90% of the phones reciving a ICS update, have more than 512MB of RAM.

BTW, if i was HTC, I wouldnt release a update for ICS. I want to make money off new devices.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Well that much is obvious lol. Though how many actual people would avoid going to a new phone just because you can root it and get JB/ICS on it... (though some of us are already running ICS, mainly having the source will likely aid towards JB roms), I honestly don't think the number is quite that big, but time is of course money, and why spend money on a no-return task.

Hey, guys, I had just checked the ifixit teardown of Nexus 7,

So anyone know the reason ?

Is it because of the cost ?

[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
Well the obvious guess is that it would've been on the ME370T at a higher price point but didn't make it here. Add it to the list along with microSD slot and HDMI output of features that were probably nuked to bring the price down.
[Nexus 7 General] earlyberd:
It's missing for the same reason why the Galaxy Nexus is missing a SD card reader, even though there was a slot carved out for it in the housing. It keeps the cost down, and it was deemed an unnecessary component by Google. The slot still remains because it costs a lot of money to redesign and re-manufacture the injection molds and the shape of the system board, so instead they prefer to just re-use the existing parts whenever possible.

If you don't like the lack of features, wait until Google makes a premium version later.
[Nexus 7 General] thekillingtree:
yeah, seriously. a friend was asking me if he should purchase the nexus 7 and was curious about the camera. when i told him that it's not a camera that you'd normally use to take pictures with he was saddened and almost decided against purchasing one. once i told him that his new smartphone can take photos and auto upload them (thus allowing him to view them on the nexus 7) he seemed relieved. people are weird.

how people don't realize how ridiculously stupid people look taking pictures with tablets is beyond me.

The only use of a rear-facing camera that I've found for a tablet is during video chats. I eventually bore of looking at myself, and just point it to the room / kids running around to give the conversation a sense of.... atmosphere. :-)

[Nexus 7 General] grukko:
The camera in the average mobile phone blows away most tablet cameras. Since most people have mobile phones, it makes the need for rear-facing tablet camera 1) redundant and 2) pointless.
[Nexus 7 General] clintkev251:
I would agree that it is not on there due to cost saving and also the fact the a) tablets are a horrible form factor for taking pictures, b) the pictures it would take would not be any better (if not worse) than what most phones already do and, c) google probably shares the opinion that people look ridiculous while taking pictures with tablets (espically when the ipad first came out)
[Nexus 7 General] Hal_The_Hacker:
incorrect. the galaxy nexus has no SD slot as google wanted to refine the end user experience. when people use slow SD cards, it slows the entire system down.

google never put the slot there in the first place. the nexus is a premium device and it has premium features. there is no way they would have 'removed it to save cost'

and although I am pretty sure there is no SD cutout in the frame... i would be curious to see a picture... perhaps find a picture from iFixit and post.
[Nexus 7 General] ckl_88:
that's what they said when people started taking pictures using the LCD screen on the back of a point&shoot camera instead of the viewfinder - in a time when everybody used the viewfinder.

that's also what they said when the first camera was integrated into a phone. Why would anyone want to put a camera into a phone? Now, it's one of the top features in a smartphone.

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------

About the comments on the merits of a rear-facing camera on a tablet. All I can say that if it's there, people will use it.

I had to sit through my daughters gymnastics competition. A whole 2 hours worth to see her 2 minute routine. Unfortunately, I don't have a tablet, but many others did - most of which were ipads. I can tell you that these people used their ipads, instead of their camcorders, phones, or digital cameras, simply because it was there and they were using it at the time (to play games or read books or whatever). It may look stupid, but I'm sure they really don't care. What mattered to them is that they were able to capture the moment and replay it on a 10" screen... not a 2.5" screen or a 4" screen. What's more interesting is that one parent shot the video on the ipad of his daughter, and later on the daughter reviewed the video and actually started to edit it on the device.

Convenience...
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
Well the picture preview shown on a Tablet would be more true to the results then the small LCD on the back of a camera or even a smart phone. Plus the added benefit to edit the picture on the spot with advance photo editing software not available on a camera itself. Though the cameras on the back of most consumer tablets are up to par right now, I think its quite possible professional cameras in the next few years will be more tablet like with handle like apparatuses on the side with a thumb button for take the picture and a changeable lens on the front. Regular consumers would of course have some thing the size of a smart phone of course for portability. But a professional would no doubt love a 10 inch or larger high def display on his/her camera with instant editing and the ability to she the results or email them to the publisher on the spot. This can save cost and overheard.
[Nexus 7 General] drpfenderson:
Precisely. Every time I see someone complain about how they can't take photos with a tablet, I automatically think "tool". Seriously. You look like the biggest douche in the world holding a book-sized screen up to take a ****ty picture for Instagram.

When professional photographers start espousing the awesomeness of tablet photography - then maybe I'll take notice. But with the compact and high-quality nature of both smartphones and newer DSLRs...I'm not really expecting that to ever happen.
