[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kettont:
None of them had issue. Idk just because you flashed another rom i guess.

Do what i said it might fix that:D
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucidlust:
Kettont...THANKS!!!! Works like a charm!
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markinaus:
Thank you! Worked for me as well :)

How did you figure that out?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
It seems when you flashed the ROM, it corrupted your internal storage and made it either appear full to the tab or become read-only.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] silasrye:
I am coming from a rezound running different ics roms. I never used face unlock on that device because it didn't always work, and when it did it took a while. I think the front facing camera also wasn't aimed properly.

Now on the gs3 I find face unlock works great. It often unlocks before I really even registered the lock screen after pressing the power button. Now I become annoyed at the few times it doesn't work so fast. After such an instance I will go straight to security settings and improve face recognition for that scenario. It's working great and I've probably done 30+ improvements.

Now I am interested in finding a way to back up the recognition data so I can keep it across the various rom flashes I expect to come.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Araltd:
I found adding multiple pictures (improving facial recognition setting) helps a bunch. I've taken pictures in the car, outside, in the house, in low light, in bright sun light, etc...

I have a full beard, my son does not... and he added his face ONCE, and now it will unlock for him too :laugh: however it will NOT unlock for my other son......

Having the face unlock is having your phone locked, but not really for you... since I never (rarely) have to enter a passcode or swipe code... For me, the phone just unlocks. But for others, its still secure. FACE UNLOCK IS AWESOME.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] El Nivek:
I was surprised at how accurate and fast it was. As you said, improving facial recognition in the settings really helps! You can even take a picture of yourself in sunglasses and it'll recognize you the next time.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] colemac:
Where do I change settings for it? It doesn't pick me up with sunglasses on or in other dark or bright places.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] El Nivek:
Settings -> Security -> Improve Facial Recognition.

It has a hard time in bright or dark places, that's true.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tabemasu88:
but ppl can also take picture of you and unlock it right?

it sis not that secure
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Lieu10ant:
Quit making that a big deal, cause its not a big deal

For that to happen, someone would have to take your phone without your permission and then use a picture of you. Face unlock is more of a convenience feature. It says it right there before you even select face unlock. Besides, Samsung has made an option for those "paranoid" people. You can set it where it requires the face AND voice. Besides, we know what jellybean provides for face unlock. Face unlock security is an irrelevant issue. (No hate)
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] tabemasu88:
that is true...@.@...
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Araltd:
By the same token, someone could get your pin code and unlock, or know your pattern to unlock...

I think the concept behind the face unlock is more for people like myself. I NEVER security lock my phone, I just don't. But, with the face lock/unlock the phone is security locked, but I almost never have to enter anything :D

I think its cool myself.... but I'm not one of those security paranoid people. NO FLAMING HERE... just saying, we all know those kinds of people, who hear about so&so security flaw and get ultra paranoid about it... like THEY are being targeted directly by some secret organization trying to steal the diary entry on their device that contains the secret of how many times they fed the dog! :p I don't think the face lock feature was introduced and designed to be the 256bit encrypted fingerprint checking solution to guarding your data... it's a freaking cool feature for the casual user :good: AND THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] faulkton:
that was my biggest gripe .. having to take off my sunglasses for it to work. Never thought of adding sunglasses pics. thanks!

If i add some sunglasses pics do you think it'd let anyone with sunglasses unlock it?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] El Nivek:
If people are trying to access your phone using a picture you have bigger things to worry about.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] silasrye:
^this.

Here are the scenarios:

1. Some one not close to me badly wants some data off my phone. - I don't really have data arbitrarily important to garner such atention, and they are still gonna have to go to an odd length to get it.

Furthermore, I don't have my phone storage or sd card encrypted because I am usually flashing new roms, so they can really get that data anyhow no matter what the lock mechanism if they want it badly enough.

2. Someone close to me wants data off my phone and is willing to make such a trespass.

- I don't have people like that close to me, sounds like a bad situation.

3. My phone is lost or stolen and I want time to remote wipe or track it.

- face unlock is sufficient.

For most people's purposes, face unlock is sufficient.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nadine65:
Hi..I just rooted my phone now how do I change the OS and which is the best one?

Thanks!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Did you unlock your bootloader?

Finding the best rom for you is going to be trial and error. I would start with something stock or cm7 based. Try an ICS (cm9, miui, aokp) rom down the road if you want something newer. Be careful though because cm9, although pretty stable at this point, is still in alpha/beta form. There are some things that aren't working 100%

No I haven't. I am kinda new at this,but I am learning.

How would you go about backing up and restoring contacts and texts/mms? Titanium backup shows the contacts and what not but it also says 2.3.6 at the end. I feel like restoring this 2.3.6 onto 4.0.4 might not work.

Also, I'm aware you shouldn't lose anything in the upgrade process but I want to factory reset and erase absolutely everything prior to this upgrade. I run a stock rooted ROM.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] DigitalSnow:
Anyone have any first impressions on the Samsung T699? Will it be a viable replacement to our Sidekick 4G? Or could the analysis of the T699 help with the development of the Sidekick 4G? These are what crossed my mind when I saw the following post at Engadget.

Source: engadget.com/2012/07/09/samsung-t699-may-become-galaxy-s-blaze-q-on-august-15th/

Your Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
The keyboard looks good, especially the inverted T arrow pad. I sure wish our Sidekick had that. The form factor's a bit more generic. I quite like how the sidekick feels in landscape mode, so that's slightly less appealing. And the spec would be a nice step up, perhaps enough to make those console emulators practical.

No mention made of price or battery life though. We'll have to see how those are. If they're reasonable, I suspect I'll be picking one up for christmas.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
I'd be interested if the keyboard has good tactile feedback and works well, and if the device gets official CyanogenMod support :) i'd like to avoid OEM overlays if possible from now on.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
5-row key /w arrow keys is very nice.

As said above, I really like the feel (raised left/right edges) of the SK4G, and that will be worse, but if the keyboard feels good it will work.

A cap-buttons for menu & back is weird too (I prefer real buttons, but with 4.0 I thought it was not supposed to have buttons at all).

I could end up with that next year as well. I really wish they would just repackage the SK4G with the same case, bigger/better edge-to-edge screen, better camera with flash, and better cpu/ram (nfc + hdmi-out would be my only other wishes).
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
After the way Samsung and T-Mobile continually mis-handled and then abandoned the Sidekick 4G, my main criterion for a new device is going to be a vibrant Android development community, and built-from-scratch community ROMs.

I'm done with Samsung's ROMs. If I'm not 100% certain of a complete, buildable, relatively standard Android source tree, with sensible drivers and whatnot, I simply won't be buying.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] DigitalSnow:
It was sad to see them drop the Sidekick so quickly, but how was it mis-handled? I did not follow much news about the Sidekick until the beginning of this year. However, I too am frustrated with the Samsung ROM. I have looked around here for a good replacement, but have not tried any yet.

Well, unless there is another qwerty phone out by this time next year, it looks like i will be getting a T699, whether or not there is a dev community.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
How was the Sidekick 4G mishandled? Let me count the ways.

1. Shipped with Froyo instead of Gingerbread at a time when GB was the current release

2. Never updated past Froyo

3. Kernel sources, when released, were an abominable mess. Too eccentric to help with integration into Cyanogen, AOKP, etc.

4. Never fixed TouchWiz' preposterous memory leaks

5. Abandoned officially at just around a year after release

Basically, T-Mobile appears to have cared more about refreshing the "Sidekick" name, than they cared about the user experience or software quality. The Sidekick's official ROM is complete garbage. Such great hardware... but Samsung and T-Mobile put concrete galoshes on the SK4G and chucked it in the river.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
If I remember correctly from kies and such, the last update, kj2 came out around 11/7/2011, making the support for the device lasting less than 7 months after the launch date(which was 4/20.... I remember that for some reason :P )

All in all it sounds like the stock Touchwiz UI was a bit of a hack job and got little attention. It's a shame because I too really like the physical design of the device.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] DigitalSnow:
Disappointing QWERTY myTouch

@nxd @yogi2010,

Wow, I guess I should have paid better attention. Only 7 months is pitiful.

Likewise, today I saw this post on Engadget about the new QWERTY myTouch.

Source: engadget.com/2012/07/11/t-mobile-mytouch-series-hands-on/

Seriously, they are going to only be running Gingerbread 2.3 on the new myTouch device. That means the Samsung's T699 is my only hope.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] shinkinrui:
I'm pretty excited about it. I've been wanting a high-end qwerty device again, and the spec bump on the T-699 looks to be very nice. 1.5ghz dual core S3(or possibly S4, but not getting my hopes up) with a gig of RAM and a 720P screen. Going from a Sidekick 4G to this device will be like going from a Galaxy S with a keyboard to a Galaxy Nexus with a keyboard.

Regarding the very poor SK4G software support, my theory is that T-Mobile got their hands too much in the software and Samsung just didn't want to spend the time to truly fix and update all the T-Mobile customized stuff. Don't get me wrong, all the "designer" elements of the lock screen and launcher and everything were nice and kinda expected for the Sidekick name, but they did such a half-assed job making it work right that I would rather have had regular old Touchwiz. It's my fond hope that with the T-699, T-Mobile will ask much less of Samsung in the customization department and we'll at least wind up with a very good functional 4.0.4 release software. Heck, maybe we'll even get lucky and Jellybean will hit sometime in the first half of 2013 :)

Anyway, I'm getting this phone. I tried very hard to move to a touchscreen only device, but I just miss my qwerty keyboard too much. Even the 4.3 inch screen on my One S combined with the trace keyboard just doesn't cut it for me. I only got the One S because I truly believed that qwerty phones with even moderately decent specs were no more. Hell, the last good one that came to T-Mobile was the myTouch 4G Slide, and I hated the weak feedback on the keys on that one. Now I find out that not only are we getting a 720p screen on 1.5ghz dual core device, but the keyboard on it has the fifth row for the numbers? Thank you Samsung for keeping the slider form factor alive!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
...barely alive! I too went a few months with no slider-keyboard, and to tell you the truth, I didn't even miss it that much... until I went back to a slider-keyboard and realized every time I used the hard keyboard what a PITA it would have been to do the same on a soft-keyboard only. My parents all use slider phones too because they say they can't type on a soft-keyboard at all. I use my soft keyboard 80% of the time, but the other 20% I'm very glad to have a slider. I don't know why they haven't become the standard, other then the fact Apple doesn't make one and people are sheep. If everyone were forced to use a slider for a week (running the same OS they were used to), I bet very few would want to go back to a candybar in exchange for a few mm in thickness.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ged92781:
While the T699 looks very appealing, I don't think the Sidekick 4G is going to be the final Sidekick device ever released. At least...I hope not...

Man, I want that T699 so bad....

Same here. I loved the sidekicks when I was a kid, even though I never could afford one

Sliders in general feel like home to me, and the Android factor in the 4g made me fall head over heels in love.... until I saw that it was on froyo. :/

I desperately hope bhudaven (hope I spelled his name right) perserveres through the trolling and ports 2.3 from SGS4G over to the sidekick. ANYTHING higher than froyo would be appreciated.

If tmobile even thinks about making another sidekick, it better be 4.0 or better or i'm going to give a mental jackslap to their logo every time i see it. >:(

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] darekz:
As a long time user of hardware keyboard (G1 and T mobile G2) finally gave up and got Galaxy Note 2. Scren is large enough to use on screen keyboard even with my fat fingers. If they ever make high end phone with hardware keyboard I may switch back but so far I'm happy with quad core cpu and large screen.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] RicAndroid:
Phonescoop.com has only one review and had zero discussions on the Relay...until I posted one.

It seems that physical keyboard phones are just not in high demand. What a shame.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] djh:
Maybe they're coming back:

Finally, the GT-B9150, the only unnamed handset of the bunch, appears to be a high-end device that will feature a 1920 x 1080 display (Full HD), 1.7GHz dual-core Exynos 5250 processor, quad-core Mali-T604 GPU, and a second-generation Jelly Bean flavor, Android 4.2.1.

We have seen previous rumors detailing this particular product back in October 2012, and at the time we told you that the handset could come with a full QWERTY keyboard given the model number, but Sam Mobile speculates that the handset could be a high-end tablet as well.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] wuziq:
here are my thoughts.

galaxy s relay 4g is dope. you should get it.

i got friends who bought the s3 but are jealous of my phone. lol.

i don't think there's a CM for it, but i ain't even mad.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
There's an unofficial CM for it that's working pretty well.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] LinuxAssailant:
I really have ZERO problems with it... aside from the buttons not being as pronounced as the SK4g which makes typing fast a little slower...

The recovery is a bit goofy, as if you do a backup it drops dataing into different folders and you can't tell what data is what backup... in a "blobs" dir. Maybe I just don't understand these blobs as every Android I have owned (Droid1, D2 [x2], Optimus Slider, Intercept [x2], Sidekick 4G [x2]) up until this point, has always just dropped everything in one tar during a full backup. The work around is to rename the root dir of the backup ("/clockworkmod/extSdCard/"...) to another name before doing another.

I do notice just a bit of lag when hitting the home button, as it has other uses like screenshots if you hit the power button at the same time.

I didn't even root it for a few months as it was so good, but I did now. I would LOVE to Cyanogen on this bad boy...

I'll probably get my lady one, when my old phone (hers now) is up4reup.

Well I got in touch with tval aint spoke to him for a while.

So best thing would be to compile a rom from plain AOSP and begin to modify it yourself, this way you learn and better understand rom creation. Plus doing it straight from AOSP will give you the updates you want and in most ways will actually be better ^^ If you want any help I could always introduce you to a few devs see if they would be willing to help ^^

I tried formatting my phone from clockwork recovery but failed to do so as it seemed to stuck there for long. I switched it on and restarted it went into bootloop showing galaxy note again and again.

I went ahead and flashed LP8 rom via odin. It didnt seemed to help as it was stuck again in bootloop. Tried factory wipe from stock recovery and cache wipe. Still no respite.

I thought rom was buggy and went ahead and flashed gb KK1 rom via odin. But still it didnt helped and i am stuck in the bootloop.

Please help me. Also it shows custom count as 'no' and binary as

'Samsung official'. Does it means I can claim warranty?
