I know, where do people get this from? They are basing it on the fact that its the only platform where you have the option to install from outside an authorized app store without jailbreaking, meaning its possible to install a virus if you are careless. I suppose there have been a few in Google Play but they usually look suspicious anyways.

You have to accept installation of any program, your not going to see a drive by download on Android, so for the majority of people who install popular apps from Google Play they will never have an issue.

[General Questions and Answers] vetvito:
After reading the source; problem 1, the three main OSs are Android Apple, and Blackberry. Anyone who tells you differently is telling a blatant lie.

Offline Reading list, yes Android has this. Introduced in ICS natively.

Social gaming yes, there are tons of real time multi player games. Game loft live if you want points and play with friends

Wifi syncing Yes. Been here since 1.5 or 2.1.

Full device encryption, yes

Windows doesn't have a bookstore to my knowledge. Tablet support is not there either. RT is not WP8.

Native ticketing system?

Tons of stuff they didn't mention like Web kit browser, native YouTube etc.....
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
I think the article is only native support, gameloft is a 3rd party. This makes me wonder, when will google release their own social gaming center integrated into the OS? Google Play is a much better name for that than their one stop shop for music, apps, movies, phones, etc.

Otherwise I would hunt the author down, and smack him in the face, because there is most definitely a phone finder service for android (the 3rd party ones on android are better than the "find my iphone" by apple)

That is the OS you need to be on to update to the new update. That's how Moto numbers their OS's. Where you're coming from.

Dude. I used another method to root I saw in a different forum. You root with motofail after you accept the 905 ota. Then backup root with voodoo app. Undo root. Install ics update. Then restore root with voodoo. Works really easily. I'm still on 2233 running aokp nightly and no problems whatsoever.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 5thAgent:
AUGH. I just put 230 on my phone last night. But I did it with moto-fastboot and no data loss, so I may just update now. Why not?

And the ICS root method for mac doesn't seem to work, so I downloaded the windows version, opened up the batch file, and copy-pasted the adb commands into terminal.

Hi,

Im a university student studying accounting. I have always had a keen interest in learning a computer language and developing for android one day. I have no prior knowledge about computer languages.

I thought about starting with Java language. Is that possible to start with java?

Kindly tell me what book will be suitable for me to learn java language (for a person who has no knowledge about programming).

Thank you

(if this is not the right forum section to ask this quiestion in kindly let me know where should i post this question exactly then)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bboyle18:
Its great that you are taking the step to learn a programming language!

Java is a good one to start with because its the most commonly used and there are lots of resources available online for it.

Personally I dont believe in just getting a book for learning to programme.

You shoudl just google some Java tutorials, open notepad and practice coding some basics. Once you are happy you can move on to more advanced things like downloading an Integrated Development Environment like Eclipse.

Theres tonnes of great learning resources for free online, so start there!

Good luck
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohsin125:

The problem with online tutorials is that if im stuck somewhere, i dont know where to look for the solution for that. Also, can you please send me links for any beginners guides to programming. The ones you know are good because i cant judge which are good and which are bad

So I got the t-mobile pre-paid monthly $60, = $720 year. I used use sprint and I was paying $130 per month =$1560 now do the math. So I am gonna save mobile price in a year :silly:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
If you outright buy your phone, you could go with a Tmobile MVNO, like Simple Mobile or Straight Talk (BYOD) and save lots more. But if you'd go with an MVNO, I would suggest Straight Talk (BYOD AT&T SIM), NET10 (BYOD AT&T SIM) to save and get fast data as well... YMMV

www.straighttalksim.com

I use this on my I9300 for $45 a month unlimited* I bought my S3 off of Craigslist for $500 new in sealed box (risky) off some random guy..

Red Pocket is another option, although you'd be paying the same $60 a month, you at least get 2GB capped fast data access..

I am in the Miami, Florida area and I get pseudo 4G (HSPA+) @21mb~ on Straight Talk using their BYOD AT&T Sim on AT&T's network. Data speeds vary.

Hope that helps,

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwer777:
Any idea how those speeds compare to someone on AT&T. I'm trying to figure out if it will be slower on Straight Talk as opposed to AT&T.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
They are "exactly" the same..

If you use the I747 (AT&T) S3 on AT&T, you would get faster data speeds, not only because of LTE, but because the I747 has HSPA+ @42mb (correction it only supports 21mb). Otherwise using the I9300 (International) S3 on Straight Talk, NET10, Red Pocket would have the same results as if you used it on AT&T..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theniusofg:
I've been through several threads regarding battery drain/poor battery life/no charging/etc. But I have not found any with my same problem.

When I turn my phone off and attempt to charge it a battery icon pops up and disappears. If I try to turn on the screen again nothing happens, when I unplug it from the charger I have to hold down the power button (essentially do a hard reset) to get it to respond to any external input.

Additionally the battery life is not great (I get about 3 1/2 hours of screen time) Just bought a 2700mah anker. And the back of the case can get pretty hot, so much so I can feel it on my leg from my pants pocket.

Anybody have any clue as to whats going on? Or point me in the right direction. Before I try to improve battery life, I just want to make sure my phone is acting as it should.

A little more info:

The hot battery/poor battery life was present before i did anything to the phone.

Running h0tw1r3's CM9 rom

I bought the phone last week off some guy on craigslist, it came in a refurbished box that had a sticker saying 5/31/12 or something.

Thanks in Advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ph0n3D0rk:
This is a known CM9 issue. One that scares me entirely. But once it is turned off, it will flash the charging icon and just go black. I do not know if it charges or not. You may want to try to turn it off (taking note of the battery) and plug it in for 10 to fifteen minutes, turn it on through CWM and see if the battery improved at all. I tried it on a CM9 derivative and it seemed to work. Give it a shot before running the battery dead.

PS. This phone runs hot unfortunately :/ May want try undervolting to get the heat down a bit. (GB rom only)

People either report the most amazing battery life or the worst they have ever seen. I believe it dependsupon a number of factors but hopefully some of the people reporting a good life span in this thread will be able to shed light on your drainage issue. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Seems to me that the Anker batteries are hit or miss. If anything, they're probably not actually 2700 mah, and rather 2500 or less. I would go back to your stock battery as your primary.

That being said, do you have apps set to sync often? Because I usually get about 4 hours of screen on time, 16 total on a charge, so I could see the half hour less screen time being attributed to sync. Also, grab CPU spy from the market to see if your phone is going into deep sleep with the screen off. You could be having some rogue app keeping your phone in a wakelock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] a_fuegon:
If you want help, you need to provide more details. I have 2 notes, since may. Neither have over heating issues. One is fully stock, the other I have tinkered with quite a bit.

If your battery is getting hot, you probably have a rogue app. I don't know if a battery Cal works on this phone, wouldn't hurt to look into it.

Fully charge your battery and let it take it's course. Before recharging, take a screen shot and post it here.

Guys,

thanks for (most of) the comments. I believe the battery life issues were due to me not using the official charger. I'm monitoring it with BMW and a few terminal commands. Will keep you all posted when the results are in.

When draining the battery down using splash top viewing a video I got upwards of 5hrs of screen time on wifi . But I was plugged in intermittently so I have to another drain to 'calibrate' BMW pro (at the expense of battery life). Stay tuned.

Also, I think when cm9 based roms completely die, they take some effort to reboot, at least mine does and I've seen other odd reports of charging while off behaving oddly. Usually have to boot cwm then reboot, else it just vibrates and does nothing.

I think the key to battery life is trying to stay on wifi as much as possible because lte sucks down juice.

I know from the forums returning bricked phones that "fell in the pool" is frowned on for those with the extended warranties. This phone is neither bricked nor damaged in any way.

I have a RAZR on the 2.11 leak via the 1.6 utility. It is unrooted so otherwise stock with the exception of apps disabled via stock ICS.

Yesterday 4G stopped working totally and it takes awhile just to connect to the voice network, after working flawlessly since I got it. The store had the same issue issue yesterday with another phone. On that phone and MY phone they switched SIM cards but that didn't help so they are sending me a replacement. refurb I assume.

Will my phone pass muster or could a tech dig deep enough to realize this is not an OTA'd phone but a crackflashed phone?
