Magnadyne Multi-Use Charger with dual USB ports

I bought one of these about a year ago and love it. I can charge 2 USB devices (usually my Thunderbolt and the wife's Charge) and run a GPS or portable DVD player. It's easily mounted down and out of the way. Also, the red LED is basically just a slight indicator, not a glaring superbright one like a lot of devices.

I have this guy, it even fits under the door of the ashtray/12v socket area in my BMW, which was why I went with it.

I bought it at Target a year ago or so. GS3's battery goes up when plugged in, even if using GPS and such on the go.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KSauzeRK:
OK, for some reason I want to get rid of the notification bar, but don't want to loose any functionality, so I need a substitute for what it does. So far I found :

- toggles : widgetsoid. I'm sure there's a lot of widget that does this, but this one is nice and does what I want.

- battery level and Wi-Fi / 3G strength indicators : widgetsoid does propose that again, but I like the icons less. Maybe I'll buy the alternative icons (default ones are free), or find an alternative.

- notifications : that's where it does get tricky. Is there any widget that just displays notifications from the notification bar ? I know Nova Launcher Prime allows icons to displays a number of messages / missed calls / unread mails, etc, but I'm not sure it can cover every notification from the bar.

- anything else I'm missing from the notification bar ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Isn't there a feature on Nova launcher to hide the status bar ? I remember being able to do this on my SGS1 and all i had to do to get it back was swipe down the screen, Then when i swiped it back up it would disappear.

As for totally removing it, I dont know if its possible as you would have to dig deep into the framework and a lot of the system requires it.

On paranoid android you can remove the notification bar, or keep it at the bottom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KSauzeRK:
My english is not very good, sorry I was not clear. My problem is not to hide the status / notification bar (nova allows this, no problem). The problem is find widgets or other workarounds to get the functionalities (toggles, notifications, clock, battery level indicator, etc) of the notification / status bar since I won't use it at all. To be more precise, I'll be using a TW based custom ROM at 213 DPI, so notification bar won't appear at all.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] killwrath:
OK I see there is a OTA update and I have question that may be redundant.

If I download and update will I loose root.

I know that was the case on the OG Evo but want to see if that is the case with the new EVO.

Again if this is a redundant question I apologize.

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
It is redundant and has been answered 100 times today in various threads. Please search next time or read a few of the established ota threads in the various sections. In short do not accept the update unless you want to run the risk of losing root. Wait for the dev's to post a stock rooted rom or proper update.zip.

[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I have always had this issue on every cm9 rom I've tried. I can't remember if I had the same issue on stock. If I start a process like a download in browser or any app really, and then switch to other apps, I find that my downloads will freeze or come up unsuccessful. Today I was downloading an offline map in Google Maps and while waiting I launched a browser, Ventriloid (voice chat app) , and a bunch of other apps. Eventually the maps download "paused" and wouldn't resume, forcing me to start the download over and Ventriloid disconnected me from the server I was on.

Is there a way to increase background process limits? I see in developer options the max I can pick is 4. Unless I'm mistaken, this means if I start a fairly large download then check the XDA app, look at weatherbug, check my email, watch something in YouTube and check Facebook, my original download will fail if it hasn't finished. The only way I've found to deal with it is to be sure to switch back to my most important apps before loading a new program so that the important ones don't get bumped/interrupted. If I force myself to keep just 3 apps in use, my downloads never fail, and I never get kicked off of a server, but this seems restrictive.

Is this just a limitation of Android, a rom issue, or user stupidity? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
Am I the only one with this issue, or was my post too long to read?

Short version: Is there any way to allow for many apps to run in the background, rather than the default 4? If I work in an app and switch tasks to 4 others, the original app closes and whatever I was doing is lost/canceled/disconnected/failed. Would messing with minfree values help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wgabi:
hi,

well... i'm the strange one, but while everyone is complaining about not able to get real full screen in some cases when you play a video, i'm on the other side, i'm looking for a video player where i could watch videos like how youtube looks like in tablet mode, when you can see other thumbnails next to your video.

before call me crazy, let me explain :cyclops: i love my nexus, i've bought it mainly for its screen, and it is great - but sadly... only when you have hd feed, (oh i love it in hd, and real full screen is great)

unfortunately i do have a lot of music video from the web, and some are really low res. i did change the audio tracks from lossless sources, but couldn't find the videos in better quality, so when i playback my favorite mv's, most of them look awful on the big screen over larged 200% or sometimes 300% :crying: i can of course playback in real size on full screen so the quality is not too bad, but it looks really weird - the big black screen with a tiny video at the center. on the other hand when i watch them on youtube (without playing in full screen) they look ok more or less, the other thumbnails next to the now playing one fill up the empty space.

i'm not sure if such a player exist, but again, i often think something is impossible, then later i find it.

does anyone know something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Okay this might not be what exactly you are looking for but I think what you really want is a video player where you can resize the playing window so that if the video you are watching happens to be low quality, you can resize it to a smaller frame. In that case try the app Super Video by GPC on the market. It's basically a floating window video player and when you are playing a video, you can resize the window to any size you want. Hope that's useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wgabi:
thanks for the tip, it is not bad at all, it would be close enough.

sadly it won't play smoothly. i did install the sw decoder pack or whatever was the name :D and now plays my files, but the audio is a bit async, and the video freezes or get blocks all over the screen, look like when a slow pc tries to play full hd files... also it takes 10 mins to load 23 thumbnails, then when i close the app, and reopen it starts again, navigating amongst the videos also freezes the app, have no idea what it is. i have mx player, it plays 720p movies smoothly, but these low quality mv's should not be a problem for any player :(

any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chrono_Tata:
Hmm I haven't really tested this app a lot so I'm afraid I can't help you. :( I used it to play some videos which I took with the phone's camera and it played fine. If I have to guess then it probably has problems with certain codices and you might be able to fix the problem by reencoding the videos with a different format, but that might be more trouble than it's worth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wgabi:
i reinstalled it with the codecs as well, and now plays well

but something is still not perfect, because when i played one video, and wanted to start the next one, it froze - totally, i had to remove the battery...

anyway, i keep trying, but now i know at least that it's possible, just seen on youtube that galaxy s3 have this feature by default

thanks again

A couple of issues:

- It seems like ext SDcard support was removed (it was not working on 5.8.4.5 too)

- Backups still have 1970 date
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I agree. When I made the first set of zips I had never used ROM Manager and didn't realize he charged for installing the touchable recovery when flashed through ROM Manager. He says you can do it yourself if you want to download it from his website for free, but I don't think it's right for me to make that any easier.

You can get the regular recovery directly from ROM Manager. That's probably easiest.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Swiftks:
Yeah... but if you update to version 5.8.4.6 (released just an hour ago) it totally removes external sd card support; for zip flashing, backups, restores, etc.

Could have sworn I read somewhere that 5.8.4.5 external sdcard support was broken when restoring a backup???? Don't know why he would have removed it if there was nothing broken... Koush is weird like that though. :p

Anyway, the Team Epic version has everything working except the date issue, which is also present in koush's builds too.

Made a backup with TeamEpic v4, tried flashing CM9, got a version error, flashed 5.8 Touch CWM, rebooted recovery. Tried to flash backup, error restoring /system. Reflashed the ROM I was running, which seemed to go fine. Rebooted and just stayed in the boot screen for over 10 minutes with the blue light on solid. Used Odin to flash to stock tar, completed successfully, rebooted, sat at boot animation (had the AT&T screen in it) for 10 more minutes. I'm beginning to think I ****ed my phone. Please advise.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dx9:
Turn off your phone and boot into recovery. Doesn't matter if it's stock recovery. Do a data wipe. Then load stock fw again with Odin. You"ll be good.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yokken:
I cannot get into recovery, I cannot do a data wipe. I told you, even after Odin it just sits at the boot screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dx9:
So you can't turn off the phone and volume up, home button and power button to get into at least stock recovery? I did the same as you today.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yokken:
If I hold them all long enough, it shows Samsung Galaxy S III, then shuts off. If I let go as soon as it vibrates, it just goes into normal boot animation.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dx9:
Right when Samsung pops up let go of the power button. Try that. The first Samsung Logo that appears
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yokken:
Tried that a minute ago, it worked. I cleared data and cache, now I'm re-flashing the stock tar with Odin. Fingers crossed.

I flashed the touch version of 5.8.4.5 using the adb shell instructions in the no flash counter trip root instructions.

Basically, I put the img file in /sdcard/ and named it cwm_touch.img

Opened an adb shell in command prompt

Elevated to SU rights

and typed the following:

dd if=/sdcard/cwm_touch.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Now it allows me to access both the internal and external sd cards the same way Team Epic's did.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mocsab:
I have access to External SD

Very strange - I flashed The new Update for CWM yesterday and then flashed the TOUCH version from Market - after flashing, I could NOT access the NANDRIODS I had made previously. Then when I went to flash a ROM so I could fix the problem I was having - the Rom I wanted wasn't there - It had been on the SD CARD - but I was seeing the EXT CARD. I rebooted - cleaned out the old Nandroidsmoved my flash files around a little and now everyhting is on my EXT SD Card - but I cannot access my SD Card in CWM -

I am not compaining too much mind you - but I really was upset when I couldn't access my NANDROIDs anymore - I eventually moved them over to the EXT SD Card - and when I first tried to use one of the backupas - It would not run because it said the MD5 didn't match. (I had used that back up earlier with no problems)

so all my nandroids were wasted - and I had to 'start over'. I have since created a nandroid and then restored it - and it worked fine - the only thing I am looking for is access to BOTH SD Cards while in CWM for flashing or back ups or whatever.

By the way, Anyone know if someone is working on a TWRP recovery for our phone? I saw that there is a working version for Galaxy S3 - Verizon - I wonder if that would work on our phones? (probably not huh?) I don't know how to do it - but I sure wish someone would get TWRP working for the Att SIII
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
Yeah, the latest official versions don't provide access to the external SD card. The last one to was 5.8.4.5, I believe. You can grab it here.

I had that same problem. The post I linked to previously also has a CWM-flashable version of the Team Epic recovery. I had to flash that before I could access the nandroid backups I made using that recovery. It's kind of a pain, but I didn't want to lose the nandroid I made right after rooting stock, so I

Made a new nandroid backup

Flashed Team Epic recovery

Restored the stock nandroid backup

Flashed CWM 5.8.4.5

Made a nandroid backup

Restored the nandroid backup I made in the first step

Not really necessary, but now I can go back to stock without having to flash the Team Epic recovery again.
