[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] RubenRybnik:
I don't know about any ROMs that have that baked in, haven't looked for it specifically. However I've always used Enhanced Email which allows you to skip the requirement, used it on the SII E4GT and now also the SIII, works like a charm. Only downside is being locked to EE for exchange email, although it's a pretty great app, so not that big of a deal for me. Just tried out touchdown, which enforces the pin on the app only, so you don't have to lock the whole phone.

If you do find a 'baked in' solution, or ROM hack let me know, I'd be very interested.

Hope this helps a bit.

Thanks I'll try that app and I'll keep you posted.

Anyone find one that works yet?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Randomacts:
Samsung sells an official 11pin one for $40 and they also sell an adapter for $10 so you can use your old mhl cable and it will work and be cheaper.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] kronium:
I contacted Monoprice, and they're also working on one. The old one is $10 so the new one should be from $10-15 hopefully.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Jubmasterflex:
Unfortunately there's only currently two options:

1. Suck it up and purchase the OFFICIAL Samsung branded adapter (at least $40)

2. Purchase/Use previous gen adapter (5-pin) and purchase a 5 to 11 pin adapter (at least $10)

I think I'll hold out for whatever monoprice's offering will be.
[HTC Sensation] jrichardson8414:
Hello my fellow HTC sensation users, I ran across a post the other day with someone posting about the same issue of trying to view a movie from my dropbox and they couldnt figure it out. It took me a while, but I think I might have it!

Make sure you have dropbox... also I have not tried this with other cloud storage apps.. ie google drive and box

Go to the play store and download these two:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...explorer&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...te.cloud&hl=en

.

Sign in on the Dropbox client in the Anttek (or which ever one you use. It should be on the top left of the application: click on device, select cloud , and then your respective device.)

Also, make sure that you have a video player, I recommend something other than the stock player.

From there pick the file and play!

I tested it with Mx Player, Mobo Player, and VLC Beta player. Worked on all of them perfectly,

My rom when I first tested this was Virtuous Eclipse, Android 4.03, HTC Sense 4.0. Worked great

and now I am using Cm9 RC1... no issues either!

I hope this works!! Good Luck my fellow Android users! :D:D:D

Happy flashing, modding, and posting
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironside2011:
Ok,my mom has a Dinc just like me. However,her's is completely stock except an unlocked bootloader. She installed the update and everything ran smooth. With the occasional freeze. But today she turned it to go to school and turned it back on and she was prompted that her Dinc has become unstable. Can anyone explain this or tell me how to fix it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Something got corrupted during the update it sounds like. You can first try a factory reset from hboot, if that dosent work you can do an ruu. However there is no 4.08.605.15 ruu and im not sure if it will let you flash an older version. If it dosent let you do the ruu, your only option would be to try to root and hope you can get a working rom on there.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironside2011:
oh boy

I figured those would be my only options. But why would Verizon send out a corrupted update to a phone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Not really a corrupt update my self and many others had no issues. It is more likley that it was just one of those rare times that things just mess up.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironside2011:
ah

What shame! Seems like this phone is just on its last leg and can't handle updates of any kind since Froyo
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] zackiv31:
Didn't want to hijack that other thread, so I thought a more explicity thread might help others.

So I followed http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=iMYMR3_Vk8I and got my phone unlocked. I'm unsure what to do next to get a "stock" phone rooted. All I want is to have my phone rooted so I can run SU apps. There are a couple options from the tool, of which I'm not sure what is what:

1. Flash a Recovery (TWRP 2.1) - Not sure what this is for, should I flash it? What does it do?

2. Kernels - Do I download a kernel like: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762537 and Flash Kernel?

3. Perm Root - From the name this sounds like what I want... but can I run it on my freshly restored/unlocked phone? Do I need to run this after one of the above (or both) steps?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] polarimetric:
1. Yes. A recovery is, put simply, a tool that can be used to flash things to your phone (e.g. custom ROMs and mods). You will need a recovery in order to achieve permanent root, so flashing the recovery is definitely a good idea.

2. The thread that you linked to does not contain a kernel, it contains a custom ROM. Since we do not have any customized kernels for this phone yet, skip the flash kernel step entirely. You may want to go back and use it if a kernel is developed that you prefer, but for now, there are no kernels to flash.

3. Perm root is the step that you want, but you need to flash the recovery first. The perm root script will run and then eventually boot you into the recovery, which you must use to flash SuperSU.zip which is the package that gives you root on your current ROM.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] zackiv31:
Thanks polarimetric for explaining! Hopefully your explanations and my slight quirks below can help some others.

The TWRP reflash worked fine. I had an issue with the Perm Root though... for some reason the SuperSU.zip wasn't actually getting copied over to the phone before it was rebooted into recovery. I ended up mounting the sdcard and manually copying over SU/SuperSU.zip to my sdcard. At that point I ran Perm Root again (which in my case just reboots into recovery). From there I clicked "Install" and selected the /sdcard/SuperSU.zip file. It installed and rebooted.

Successfully rooted!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] JohnDalton:
More advice pleae.

I flashed a recovery yesterday since I needed to recover. After that my endlessly booting appliance booted successfully.

Now I want to Root. I tried this using the Hasoon2000 thing yet and got a "Simply Brilliant" screen when I rebooted into recovery but then got could not connect message when I tried to permanently root.

Do I need to flash a different recovery?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Hesacon:
Wow, this thread got my hopes up til I saw it was bumped.

As of several months ago, we lost the ability to root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1792514

So, until an exploit is found or verizon says we can do it, we can't root.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:

[HTC One S] Dash_Skeezy:
Hi, I'm using the HTC One S S4 and was wondering if there was any way to disable auto focus?
[HTC One S] NienorGT:
Easy:

Settings (in camera app) > Camera Options > uncheck Auto focus.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
My HTC One S doesn't have auto focus in the settings and yes I'm positive I have went through the entire settings of the phone
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
I don't get the question. You have auto focus and touch focus...what other option did you want...its a phone camera after all, not a dslr.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
My question is why don't I have auto focus option in my One S
[HTC One S] Vlacke:
What do you mean, you don't have?

One S camera has auto focus and that is that, you can turn it on or off and that's it.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
Not to be a prick but if you don't read what I'm saying then read again. There is nothing in my settings about auto focus.
[HTC One S] NienorGT:
You don't have this?
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
No I do not
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Weird, neither do I! I'm on Axiom 1.5. Itsmileramsay added the camera mod from the development section, maybe that's it.
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
Not to be a prick, but that is totally not the question you asked in the OP.
[HTC One S] BackDaws:
Yeah I've not got auto focus option either I'd like to be able to turn it off for video recording.
[HTC One S] Ollaz:
Running Sense 4.0.3 and neither do I.. it's really frustrating, I would love to have AF off for once.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
My point exactly
[HTC One S] el_smurfo:
How would you focus then? It's not like there's a lens to adjust.
[HTC One S] tongueman87:
Tap the screen like usual
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Same don't have it lol im on leedroid Rom
[HTC One S] coronangel:
Trickdroid Rom has the autofocus option. Im not sure if its part of sense or a mod but i know that the autofocus option is not available in the stock Rom.
[HTC One S] BackDaws:
Because when you turn off auto focus it puts the lens into a wide fixed focus so everything but really close like macro shots are clear without messing about.
[HTC One S] Ollaz:
You tap your screen. Disabling AF is exactly like on DSLR-s, but instead of moving the focus ring you tap on your screen where you want to focus. It's somewhat weird that this feature can not be turned off, because sometimes it's really dumb and focuses god knows where.

I think that AF is not the correct name here, but you get my point. I want to choose my own focus point and disable the camera from changing it as it pleases.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NedDasty:
Normally I'd say it doesn't belong on the development forum, but this is obviously a very hot development-associated topic, and devs and followers are all interested in any updates regarding the bootloader status. This is important because it has implications for devs working to unlock the regular citizen's version--with an unlocked phone to play with, they'll be able to attack from the other side as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] msnglink:
Boy did they give the the middle finger. So unlocked bootloaders and difrrent roms mess up the system, So they give us a locked bootloader and say its Samsungs falt but then let them sell us a unlocked bootloader phone and say its ok to use on your network. Thats some ****ed up ****
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cadams122593:
if samsung did this right tho, they would give us the key to unlocking the bootloaders for the verizon phones that have locked ones. leaving us with a $249-$300 phones that have unlocked bootloaders, compared to almost full retail. but that could never happen could it? (;
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] msnglink:

What if Samsung, doesn't have the keys to give us? What if Verizon generated the keys, signed the boot, and then flashed our phones?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] djkinetic:
I just wanted to say how TROLOLOL this is, I feel bad for you guys on Verizon but I do find it kind of amusing, Verizon pulled this same sh*t with the Droid Razr, that shipped with a Locked BL and what was the answer have Moto offer a no warranty Dev Version...same thing just a diff manufacturer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blackhemi4x4:
I do think its stupid of VZ for locking it down the way they did. But, it is a device thats used on their network, and if thats what they want to do, than so be it.

We all have seen it time and time again, a warranty claim for a bricked phone. We drove them to doing this. And, there will be a developer phone.

I will miss all the flashing I use to do. Even stock, this phone rocks. I dont think they are giving us the finger, I think they looking out for their best interests for the most part.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] msnglink:
they should unlock it for us if we ask them and sig somthing saying if we **** it up then were ****ed and have to buy a new one. i have no proubs with that

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Amartier:
I just recently sold a Galaxy Nexus to a Kijiji buyer. I quickly did a factory data reset before meeting him, assuming that the reset would remove all my files like it said it would do in the settings. However, I've become paranoid that the reset never deleted the internal storage files, so all my photos, music, and other files could still be on that phone. I feel extremely stupid for asking this question, and a downright n00b, but I just want to make sure or confirm that those files got deleted. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
If you were 100% stock recovery and all.. then yes it deletes all the internal data. Sdcard and all, you should be just fine. Now go to sleep.. :) everything is going to be all right.

Yup, yakju 4.0.4, stock recovery, kernel... etc. Thanks, puts my mind a ease, hahaha.
[Microsoft Surface] willgill:
My wife desperately wants to get the Surface. She could really use it for work in August. I already disappointed her with saying Surface won't be available until January.

Now I have discovered you can get a similar experience loading Windows 8 on Samsung Series 7 Slate.

Can someone tell me what the differences are?
[Microsoft Surface] chrisizzle492:
one's not gonna be over $1k
[Microsoft Surface] willgill:
We don't know how much Surface will be yet. Microsoft says it will be comparable in price to Ultra books which are usually over $1k.

So far it looks like Samsung Slate doesn't have the perimeter cooling, or snap-on keyboard. It also might not have the WiFi antennas the Surface has. Potentially since there will be millions of Surfaces sold, there will be a lot of third party peripherals for it.

I am not sure it is worth the wait. I am leaning towards getting the Slate now.
[Microsoft Surface] willgill:
One other difference, the Samsung Slate has a pretty low res rear camera.
[Microsoft Surface] daddydino5:
Will I own the 7slate, I recently loaded win 8 its flawless. If your comparing The 2. The Samsung has 128 GB drive i5 core 4 GB ram and sports 11.6 screen. The biggest question is what type of work will she do with her slate?
[Microsoft Surface] willgill:
She's runs a sign shop. She wants to take photos and do markups on them with either Skitch or OneNote. The photos don't have to be very high quality, but good enough to make out fonts. She would also like to tap into the home office's Point of Sale system while on the road. I was thinking she could just RDP into the server for that. However, does the Series 7 Slate have cellular connectivity?

If the Slate doesn't have cellular connectivity, she could get a MiFi.

I was also possibly thinking of making the Slate her only computer. It would have to do light to medium Adobe Illustrator and light to medium Photoshop work. She's a touch typist and would get the Bluetooth keyboard and possibly connect the monitor to external video.

I've been playing around with Windows 8 in VMware on my Win7 desktop computer. I can tell already she's going to curse it for a month until she gets used to it.
[Microsoft Surface] daddydino5:
Then if u don't want to wait get the Samsung, the specs are high end and can handle every peice of software u can throw at it. Don't believe their will be anything better coming out for window slates
[Microsoft Surface] willgill:
Thanks for the feedback. I just ordered a used one with pen, dock and keyboard today. I wasn't totally convinced the wife would use it so that's why I bought the $800 used one vs the outrageously priced new version.

This weekend I am showing the wife the basics of Windows 8.
