hello every one

could some one tell us which android version could run NFS SHIFT ???

i tested NexusHD2 ICS CM9 with tytung's kernel and the graphics was very bad (all white colores designes) but the game runs normally

same thing with NexusHD2 gingerbread

ThanX
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Just played it on NexusHD2 and it ran just as well as it did on GB (TyphooN). Graphics were exactly the same as they were and it was a little bit smoother than GB as well. However, this was a restored app from GB so if you downloaded it fresh then that may cause some differences. I also don't know whether this is the latest version or not (let's just say that I didn't get it off of the Play Store directly ;) ).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] specter16:
I downloaded it from torrent and installed it normally all was fine

i even instaled it after a fresh ROM install ( the first apk installed after the ROM's first boot )

!!!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Really? That's odd, it works fine for me. I am, however experiencing the same issue with Flick Kick Football where everything is white and stuff. Dunno why though, sorry
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] specter16:
Now tried on Team Blue Droid V3.7 Sensation XL Gen3

the same thing

By the way, can you advice me which ROM is the best for gaming ? (i know it will never be a sense rom :D )

thanX

Edit:

even onTyphoN's CM7 ROM it won't work

i'll try an other apk then i'll see what it gives

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] client-x:
I think its more about the version of the game that works well with hd2 than about the rom. Do you download the cache for the game as well? it should also match your device
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HypoTurtle:
The white graphics issue would be caused by the app using diiferent opengl files (plugins/shaders). Try using Chainfire3D (searching xda for plugins) and change to a different one when you want to use the app.

And fyi, I pulled the NFS shift app from my tablet, and had the white graphics, used Chainfire to use the tegra plugin and it's working fine.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] ryzilla23:
The reviews are mixed over the quality of the camera... some say its very good, others simply say that it is disappointing.

It seems most reviewers are stacking this up solely against the One X's.

In real life use how are people finding the camera?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Skidoo03:
Out of all of the phones I've had, (Fascinate, Thunderbolt, OG Inc, D2, and DX) its the best camera, it takes great pictures in my opinion. The video recording and taking a picture at the same time is sweet. I'll try and upload some I've taken if I can figure out how to.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Newlin:
I've installed SearSlim on my at&t Galaxy Note and have set the DPI to 160 for tablet mode. My only issue is that while I still have the toggle available for the flashlight the torch.apk is not included in this rom. Does anyone have it or know how I can obtain it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] emc523:
I use the free Nexus Torch (dev: farproc) app in the Play Store, works great...same one touch function. There's an app by the same name dev'd by Ben Buxton that kept asking me for SU access.

I don't think that will work with your toggle function though, hopefully someone can UL the apk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Newlin:
Yeah, I was hoping to be able to use that toggle. I suppose if no one has it handy I can always do a nandroid, install another version of cm9 to get the apk, and install that after restoring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Newlin:
I got the torch.apk and I thought I might leave a link for it in case someone else is ever in need.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Borgschulze:
Thanks for hosting it, I deleted mine for some reason.... and didn't want to re-flash or restore my Nandroid and do a whole bunch of changes again. Also Titanium Backup wouldn't extract it for some reason.

EDIT: It keeps crashing :( I even changed permissions and rebooted :( I just realized this is in Samsung forum, Haha, That's probably why... I'm on an HTC Sensation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I've had the same trouble ...

I'm convinced that rom mangler (manager ) has something to do with not being able to pull apps from a nandroid backup ..

But of course ...the pro version of titanium isn't 100% reliable either.

It worked well a few days ago ....then yesterday I couldn't extract again .....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
The notification pull down toggle would require some framework and system ui edits to get to work properly I believe...very involved process...however you can always pull apart the Rom either on your computer or in root explorer to get the apk, and then you might be able to install it and have at least the home screen widget toggle for it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dlang123:
Currently have a Droid Charge.. hate the phone. Going to sell it and thinking about picking up a Razr Maxx used for around 430ish, sell the Charge for around 130ish net $300 out of pocket.

I am on Unlimited Data and never plan to get rid of it. Hows the Maxx? Lag at all?

Worst part about it? Camera any good?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] g_mosh:
well, in terms of construction quality, the Maxx is excellent. That kevlar cover is real eye candy.

The camera is great. We compared pictures on the phone and on computer, the Maxx vs. an old N8, and unless yo are very technical about photography, there's not a clear advantage on the 12MP of the Nokia.

Ice Cream Sandwich, need I say anything about that?

Battery life is great, I am sure there are many screenshots around for you to see.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dlang123:
Thanks.. just bought a supposedly mint condition on ebay with a supposedly clean esn. I know the Charge screen is a bit better.. but I just want the lag to stop.. drives me crazy.

Almost went back to an iPhone.. but no 4G on them yet, and anymore the 3.5" screen seems a bit small.

4.3" is the sweet spot.

Hope I am happy!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dlang123:
Ha and that deal fell through.. time to continue on....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Danzdroid:
I bought mine two weeks ago off of Ebay for $411 shipped. It was literally mint. Took it down to Verizon store to swap out existing SIM for the micro SIM the RAZR needs, they popped it in, turned it on and everything has been flawless since. Coming from an LG Revolution, it's like going from a tricycle to a Porsche.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bwheelies:
I had a charge and I love this phone. I feel no need to modify this phone, it is that good. Reception, GPS, speed, ics, battery life, it all kicks ass.

I wanted to wait for the HD version but am completely satisfied with this. Charge felt better ergonomically and had better sound quality through headphones.

This phone is so good you have to unlearn the worry of your old phone's shortcomings.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dlang123:
Well on another deal, let's see if this one is legit. Should have this week, a bit more than I wanted to spend, but came with an OtterBox Commuter and 32Gb SD.. even though I already have like 3 of those..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PatrickC:
I had a Galaxy Nexus and an Evo LTE before getting my Maxx, and I must say, this is really nice hardware. Once I rooted, and was able to get rid of all the Motorola crap (UI, kinda like Sense), it was golden! Honestly, I would say that you should try and pick one up.

Hope this deal works out for you :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dlang123:
Thanks, 435 with the Otter Box and another 32Gb mem card, Used but supposedly pristine. As soon as I get it headed to Verizon store to get it activated. I have heard that even after it's on your account, someone can get the ESN deactivated by claiming it was lost/stolen? Anyone know about that?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] PatrickC:
I would think they would have to have access to your account to do that? Otherwise we could all sell a phone, then have then vzw deactivate it lol... I would talk to your local vzw about that one
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrialk:
I made the same change. The screen is not as good as the charge, but it is superior on every other way. Highly recommend it. The lag induced from only 512mb memory drove me crazy.

Sent from my DROID RAZR
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dlang123:
Yeah, got it, and it is night and day different from the Charge. Although the screen isn't a + it is a bit higher res, so I don't notice the screen being much worse. The fact the launcher on my Charge would have to redraw after opening like two apps drove me mad. The Charge almost drove me away from Android and back to an iPhone, but I think I will stick with it for a bit.

Now to decide to keep my Charge as a toy for the kid, or to try and sell it with a few scuffs on the chrome.;)

I'm trying to update my S3 software by using Kies but in order to do this I have to update Kies to the latest version. However every time I do this Kies restarts and again says it needs to update to the same version (2.3.1.12064_9).

Can I get an Android update OTA or am I forced to use this itunes like P.O.C software?

If anyone has any suggestions it'd be appreciated, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Uninstall Kies, reboot your pc and install the latest version of Kies from the samsung website. This should help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
It is the latest version from the website (I installed it today), but I'll give it a try anyhow.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikk:
The Kies in-program check for updates says there is a newer version than the one that is on the Samsung website for download. The website version is Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1; the check for updates within the program itself lists a 2.3.2.12064_9.

I've tried to update from within the program running the program as admin and anything else I could think of but just like you it's stuck in an update loop. No OTA on AT&T here in the US either.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Good to know I'm not alone!

I tried re-installing Kies and still got the same BS loop.

There is an Android update too (I9300XXLFB) so this is very annoying. I guess I'll need to contact Samsung and find out what the hell is going on.

Whats wrong with being over to download updates OTA like with my old HTC phone, why has Samsung got to over complicate things?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikk:
I don't know where you are or what network you're on but keep in mind that the OTA updates are normally distributed by the carrier and not by Samsung directly. And any updates need to be customized for the specific carrier's specs so there will always be a lag between Samsung releasing an update and the carriers finally getting around to pushing it OTA (if they ever do; a carrier not bothering to release an update is not unheard of). That's one of the reasons why using a custom ROM is so desirable as often custom ROMs have the latest and greatest OS updates while the stock ROM will be behind sometimes for months.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:

I am here in South Africa and I expect this type of thing here but world wide ????. Not even local support seems to know about this new version.:crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
i have never had an OTA update, i have twice updated on kies, as i bought the phone sim free and not through a carrier. Perhaps that is why im not getting the updates through the OTA.

However i seem to have a different problem with kies. i have also done the above, and have the _9 version but mine although it connects through USB, when it comes to backing up the phone's info, it goes round and round trying to read the phone's items and then after 2 minutes brings up a screen saying: unexpected error, cannot backup etc...

I have emailed samsung yesterday and waiting for a reply from them...

i did manage to update, although my firmware was LFB, and of course updating a firmware keeps the phone's memory intact, but i really want to continue to be able to backup.

So it seems that new version of KIES may need an even newer one to fix those bugs.

EDIT: looks like kies is stuck trying to load my contacts! I think i may have found the culprit, but dont know how to solve it. It could before and i havent changed anything!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
Thanks for the explanation, I know this is a possibility but I can't even get Kies to update to even see if my carrier (T-Mobile in the UK) has got around to releasing the Android update.

I don't want to root as I'd loose the ability to use Sky Go, and I've been trying to get this working for months on my other two rooted devices with no success.

I've now emailed Samsung so hopefully there'll be able to offer some advise.

Same problem here. It starts installing then new version and when reaching 100% it reverts all files back to the old one...

So can't update my firmware :-(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Motogp1:
I can tell you tmobile or any UK network have not released this yet like above they have to mess about with it first so kies won't tell you this, the kies update is from Samsung, I had a problem as well with kies updating itself so I uninstalled reboot laptop, reinstalled, then let it update it does take forever to do this so give it time.

Although my firmware update did download and it installed on the phone for some reason it failed and didn't actually install on the phone but plenty of people have been successful.

Solution to kies update loop

Found a less than ideal solution, but it allowed me to update my handset:

1. Open kies and let it try and update as usual, click more details.

2. Ctrl alt del to get a task manager up.

3. As soon as it has gone through all the files extracting and installing, and just as it starts to revert and uninstall the update, kill the update process.

4. Restart Kies and verify version installed in the about kies dialog.

I've been having the same problem but just tried that and it worked:good:. Can't thank you enough as i've been trying all afternoon to get the damn upgrade to work. Finally managed to upgrade the firmware aswell though it did take absolutely ages to download it. The whole thing is so ridiculous...why couldn't they just do an OTA update:(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishbulb15:
Stopping in the middle of the installation didn't work for me. So I modified the KiesVersion.txt file that was in the Program Files folder to be the latest version number that it was saying I needed.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asot77:
You have to do it right at the end when the details change from extracting and installing to reverting but you have to be very quick before the installation ends.

The "kill the updater" trick worked for me, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zammo76:
I got this reply from Samsung and followed the steps and it actually worked!

Regarding this issue, please try reinstalling the Samsung KIES software. First uninstall Samsung KIES completely from your computer. Also, please uninstall any Samsung USB drivers that may be installed as well. Restart your computer after you do this.

After your computer has restarted, please download and install the latest version of the software from the link below.

Before you do this though, make sure that your PC has the minimum systems requirements, shown at the bottom of the download page, in order to run this software.

Note: Please use Internet Explorer to install the KIES software. Click the blue download button on the left on the screen and then select “Run”.

http://www.samsung.com/uk/kies

After you have reinstalled KIES make sure you have turned off Bluetooth and USB debugging on your handset (Settings, Applications, Development), also make sure the device is unlocked and on the home screen. Then connect your handset to the computer via a USB data cable and launch the KIES software. After a short time KIES should then recognise and display the device.

Not sure why it didn't work before, unless installing Kies through Google Chrome (my default browser) was causing an issue? Regardless though Kies is BS bring back OTA updates like my HTC had.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vasp3690:
I have tried this and it still doesn't work being able to backup my data. I have pinpointed that it may be the phones new update that I have done as I tried the older version of kies and it still produces an error.

Did the above sequence, no result.

The phone now can backup the contacts and a few other bits but it gets stuck on the system settings and wont communicate.

For others who are interested, here's the link to the latest version of KIES

http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201105/20110512115717796/Kies_2.3.2.12064_10_1.exe
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoleX1:
I dont understand what Samsung is paying at. The latest version of Kies doesn't even open on any of my computers. If I install a previous version, it says update to the latest version of KIES which is Kies_2.3.2.12064_10_1, yet once its done the update it doesn't even open, and its not like this problem is specific to my computer, as it doesn't work on my Alienware laptop, my brothers HP laptop, and neither on a gaming desktop that I have, The file just doesn't seem to execute properly, and this issue has been prevalent since the newest update to the Kies software which was around 3 Weeks ago. This is unacceptable, especially when there are upadates available for the galaxy s3, s2, and the Galaxy Tab 7.7 all of which I need Kies working for!

There must be others out there with this problem? Because I've downloaded the latest installation file 10 times, and tried removing the software and usb drivers, restarting, and then installing fresh so many times, on 3 separate computers.

Anyone have a solution for this?

Any idea what's going on here?

I just noticed my phone's wallpaper turned into what looks like 16bit color and all the icons became distorted. This is on Go Launcher Ex. Touchwiz doesn't exhibit the same problem but I'm unable to open the app drawer there for some reason. Really weird, it was working just fine a few minutes ago.

EDIT:

Hmm, icons aren't the only problem. My gallery shows no images (like its not rendering anything), and some menus like the go launcher preferences menu show colored horizontal lines. I tried running a live wallpaper and that seems to render fine. I tried a game of dead trigger and that runs fine as well
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] georaldc:
Weird, everything is working fine again. I shut the phone off for 5mins and powering it up again, the icons, wallpaper, gallery etc are all rendering properly again. What could have cause the issue?

Also, does chainfire 3d affect rendering outside of games? I noticed I had default OPENGL settings set to reduce textures to 16bit color so I unticked that and powered the phone off for a few minutes
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbmadzky:
Chainfire 3D has this effect. Restarting your launcher fixes the problem.
