[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tijayz:
Hello. FYI, it seems like changing the build.prop file freezes the phone after the GALAXY SIII logo - it just goes to black screen and never comes out. The variable I changed was ro.sf.lcd_density= from 320 to 240 and 160. The only thing that fixes this issue is Odin. Not even wipe.

Anyone ran into this or knows why it could be?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] javahooked:
Here is a little background. I switched from iPhone 4S to Galaxy S3. Apart from the learning curve (I expected that) everything is going well except for a few annoyances. The one that is driving me nuts is the Email. Again I am new to Android so may be there are setting I have no idea exists.

I have three Email account setup, Hotmail, Gmail and Corporate Exchange Server. By default when I receive the Email it's in text with zero HTML formatting. I checked show images in the options with no luck. I do realize the biggest appeal for android is the endless options and customization

( trust me I know I am windows guy) but something as basic as Email should be set to work just out of the box especially on a smartphone of this caliber. Anyways would greatly appreciate any feedback regarding how to solve this issue. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] p_synthesis:
The gmail app works fine.

I'm having the same problem as you do with the other email app that does exchange. You have to go to the bottom of the email and tap on the "Load more details" box and the mail then gets HTML formatted.

Although some HTML emails come up immediately.

I may have to use an alternate client. The best one supposedly is Touchdown but that's $20!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] javahooked:
Thanks for the tip. The thing that really annoys me is that html is the most basic expectation from an email client. I am just so surprised that you have to go and select the option e every time. I know there are other email clients available but customizable doesn't mean you end up downloading and paying for something that's so basic. I am hoping someone has an easy solution.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jbadboy2007:
I don't have a problem with html. Nor do I have an option for more details.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Ascertion:
Make ur retrieval size larger. 20+kb should fix the html problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] javahooked:
I even selected the "Download All" with no luck. The Emails still show up as text and not HTML. Any idea why?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] javahooked:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] javahooked:
Contacted Samsung and they don't have a solution either. I am just blown away at something so simple being buggy or even non-existent. I never had this issue on my iphone (for me my previous phone is always a benchmark I would compare to, for others it could be any brand and make).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jbadboy2007:
Maybe the sender is sending plain text
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] javahooked:
Thats the thing, they are HTML Emails but refuse to load as such. If I go all the way at the bottom (which is a pain in itself) and click load more details they show up as they are supposed to be in full HTML.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] munsterrr:
You are not alone. I was just complaining to myself this morning about the very same thing. Tried changing download sizes. No dice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jbadboy2007:
Idk what to tell you im using that email app for 2 accounts. 1 gmail cuz i love to embed images and that email app supports it and an exchange account both are html by default. Like i said before ive never seen load more details button.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jbadboy2007:
My settings are to email retrieval size is largest allowed with each account. Forward with files. Show images checked. View mode standard. Auto download attachments. I bet you its the standard view setting. I hope this helps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] javahooked:
where exactly is the view mode standard. I have everything just like you but can't find the view mode standard option.

Just checked and the standard option is checked. No luck still. Both my personal and work emails use exchange servers. I am starting to think if the email app is dependant on that may be?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jbadboy2007:
It is definitely possible that any type of encryption will not let you view html format. Mine is not encrypted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] GeorgeP:
I have the same problem with stock email not presenting html as hyperlinks. What I found was that some hyperlinks load properly, others do not. I found that html fails to properly present as a hyperlink, if there is a period after the html. If I forward an email to myself, the html does not render properly in the forwarded message. However, if I remove the period after the html, the hyperlink is rendered properly. I wouldn't expect a bug like this on a mature high-end product. It really undermines the usefulness of the email app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] javahooked:
That's a very interesting observation. If that's the issue I am hoping it will be fixed soon (like weeks not months or quarters). But I am not going to hold my breath. I completely agree with you, having such an idiotic issue crop up in the stock Email application is unacceptable when Samsung is marketing this phone as their flagship device. Moving from an Iphone 4S I still think the S3 is a very good device but issues like these just puts dent in the image real fast.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] p_synthesis:
Business users are not going to be happy when HTML messages from their corporate exchange servers don't render properly.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD Android API's Offline :)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i have a small question for you am working on Ecllips and am looking for method to down load Android API's offline and then plug it to Ecllips

is there a method for that ? because my internet Connection drive me crazy :eek:

or am just dreaming :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan Harkless:
I believe the board lets you edit your title after you've posted.

I haven't started doing Android development yet, but I did a Google search for 'offline android api' and the top hits seemed like they were answering your question -- did you try that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATMOSF3AR:
I don't think you can download API's offline
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Android Cowboy:
I took the LG2 OTA update on my Sprint GS3. Everything was working then at the end of day all of a sudden TouchWiz stopped working. Tried restarting many times with no luck and even pulled the battery out. I was not rooted when I took the update. I guess I can install another launcher like Apex for the moment but anyone else having the same issues. Any fix.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrischoi:
Wanted to try another ICS Rom. Jumping from phone to phone. I guess I missed something. Lol. I got a little carried away.

So I was running the Calkulin's ICS with EL29 + CWM Rogue...

Reading the AOKP first page... said go to EL26.

So I proceeded to EL26 using this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728

Tired to boot into recovery and start up the phone but it just sits on the SII screen. Did I do something?

So now I am back to here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

Got it back up and running and restored my last back up. Wah wah.

Was the EL26 a ODIN process or something I was to flash in recovery? Was I to flash the whole phone to EL26 and not just the boot? Would it be safe to just flash AOKP from EL29+Rogue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
OP said go back to el26 cwm recovery because that is a know safe GB recovery safe to wipe and flash in. So odin the el26 cwm recovery in Odin and then flash AOKP ad Gapps from there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrischoi:
Could someone link it?

I can only find the modem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LeKtRiCzzz:
Dude dont mess with that unless you know what your doing or have TEP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RandallOfLegend:
I would hold off on playing the ICS shuffle game until the community and samsung has a good grasp on the bricking situation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrischoi:
I've owned every smart phone on Sprint and owned multiple devices on T-Mobile.

I don't know it all, but I'm here to learn. I need to figure it out. Lol.

It bricked and I recovered. Just looking for direction on where to locate a file at this point since I couldn't find it.

I've been through this situation a couple times on other devices. Got a little ahead of myself again and just digging for answers.

TEP wouldn't cover any of this since it's all caused by the end user.

Thanks for the other above posts. I shall stick around on one rom and it's revisions until something happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dante32278:
U can flash to things safely, just have the right software. Keep el26 cmw kernel tar thats found on rwilco12's kernel repository on ur phone for mobile Odin and on ur PC for regular Odin and you'll be OK. Of course things will change as source rolls out but that's been the tried and true method til meow. Meow what I'm saying?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slick_rick:
http://chris41g.devphone.org/EpicTouch/Stock Repack/EL26/StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 Flash in Odin and then flash AOKP and Gapps from that recovery.

The community has a very good grasp on the bricking situation. Experienced devs like chris41g and dees_troy have made safe recoveries to wipe and flash in. You must have been gone for awhile lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdcnosse:
Since the GNexus has NFC, any suggestions on an extended battery? I've heard the battery isn't too great (especially on the version one) but I plan on getting the HSPA+ one. Or do all the extended batteries for the GN come with NFC?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Check in the Accessories Forum, I remember a very good (& informative) thread about extended batteries in there.

P. S. There's a bunch of extended battery threads in there, just had a look.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
If it comes through the carrier, it should have nfc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DerAmi:
I have experience dealing with extended batteries in that I've owned several Android phones which all had sh*tty batteries. To be honest, the way to go is normally the cheap Chinese-made ones you can find on Amazon or eBay. I've had a lot of luck with those (and even if you don't have luck with them, they only cost $5-$10 or so) and ordering more is always easy. I just ordered 2 for my Gnex and it should arrive tomorrow. Go to Amazon or eBay and search for 3500mah extended battery w/ NFC and SOMETHING will come up. For reference, I just ordered the Onite 3500mah w/NFC from Amazon. Good luck! If you have any questions ask away!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Landara:
Recently I emailed Blurex. I knew from the other post here that they would be making cases for the N7 and I wanted to know if they would make a case with a BT Keyboard like the one I had previously. I also decided to have a little fun with them because they usually love this as it breaks up the boredom of their crappy jobs. Here is the conversation.

My letter:

The reply:

So it seems for any of you who like me were hoping for a nice Blurex KB Case you will not get one, but they will at least be making cases :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Uh60m Pilot:
This thread could have easily been added to the existing blurex thread. Please post there.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] upstandingcitizen:
Made my day lol, love it.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] joamiq:
Man oh man, a case like that Xoom one for the N7 would be amazing. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Landara:
Sadly they woin't be making it. BUT they have released THIS bad boy here!

An XDA user spotted it. It's probably an incorrect price but for 6 dollars including shipping, it's a no brainer! I bought 2 and they are shipping! :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Caliyork:
Suh-weet. How is that really nice case on 6 bucks AFTER shipping? Doesn't matter. I got myself one before they realized how much money they've gotta be losing, haha. Nice find, man.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Landara:
well it was originally listed at $299.99, was supposed to be $29.99. They went back and fixed it to say $4.06 now. Guess they've been drinking! Or maybe a couple people accidentally bought at 299 and they felt bad so they gave a steep discount for a time.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] el56:
It's been raised to $8 and they won't ship to Canada.

Are there any non-Amazon sources of Blurex?
[Android General] AmauryRR:
UPDATE: Posted more info in the Misc Android Development section - here.

Hi all, sorry if this is the wrong place to post but hopefully someone else with a rooted Sharp ADS1 can test this out, or even find this usefull - its been working for me for a few days so far and I'd like to share for testing.

I extracted the stock recovery image, used the clockworkmod builder site and have a (mostly) fully working CWM 6 for that device. I've been using it for about a few days, and it works nicely. It wont mount the USB storage on mines, the device was rooted with SuperOneClick.

Started when I saw a youtube video on how to get it into the stock recovery screen (hold Power and Sym while booting).

I was able to make a nandroid backup of my image, I already removed some bloatware from the device. I'm working on a CWM flashable zip of what I have, maybe someone else can do a fully stock image (mines is missing a few bits for a factory-reset).

I also extracted images of the all partitions on the device. I'm working on getting CyanogenMod (working with CM7 at the moment) running on this thing, still trying to figure what to compile it as lol. I managed to get the Kernel to compile, but I'm working on getting a Gingerbread ROM to use with this device.

Specs I noticed on this:

MSM7227/MSM7x27 cpu

Adreno 200 GPU

512MB RAM, 512MB ROM (200-ish accessible by user)

Hardware Keyboard

WiFI/Bluetooth/etc..

Wondering if theres a similar device I can try using their ROM and testing the zImage I compiled.

QUICK N DIRTY INSTRUCTIONS:

-Device must be rooted (use SuperOneClick 2.3.3)

-Copy the flash_image and CWM recovery image for the ADS1 onto the root of your SDCARD (to make things easy for now)

-Using ADB I remounted the sdcard by running the following (otherwise, you'll get permission denied even with/as root)

mount -o remount,exec /dev/block/vold/179:1 /sdcard

-I used flash_image from my sdcard (pushed it with ADB in Ubuntu), I took the CWM recovery.img file and also pushed that to the sdcard.

cd /sdcard
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot

-As the phone reboots, hold Power and Sym and it should take you to the CWM Recovery screen after it blinks once.

Now you can do backups/restore images, clear dalvik, battery stats. Only thing that didnt work for me was mounting USB mass storage via Advanced menu. Once you get it installed, do a nandroid backup asap!

LINK TO CWM FILE (contains stock recovery.img, flash_image and clockworkmod in the CWM folder).

here

file is packed with 7zip.

I have more info on my findings on this lil device incase anyone is interested including partition mounting, etc.. root info recovery and system dump info also some random notes on the kernel.

I'm using this as a learning experience/hobby, and I'd like to share incase anyone was wondering what makes this thing tick lol. Have a nice day all!

EDIT:

heres a pic of mines booting into CWM for inspiration :)
[Android General] AmauryRR:
system and nandroid backups

Didnt wanna wait to edit, but heres img files for all partitions on froyo - and here's a nandroid backup (should boot, but do a factory reset/wipe data/cache and dalvik in CWM and you''re like new).

Also, the new boot.img and splash,img flash when I put em in a CWM zip however no boot with a "quick" ported GB CM7 rom (still waiting for repo sync to finish :P) - flashed a zte v9 as the hardware was similar (even running the grab proprietary files grabbed almost EVERYTHING - there were a few that were off). Hopefully someone can find this interesting for the device. There's a few others that looked promising, I'm taking a break for now tho lol

UPDATE:

Tried using a ROM kitchen to play with the stock rom, didn't work too well lol. I managed to restore a nandroid, but WiFi keeps showing as an error (think it may have had something to do with an option for tethering/wifi that I thought I said No to in the Kitchen's menu...). Also , the signed ROM from the Kitchen seemed to BJork the SuperUser/Root - gonna try flashing a SuperUser CMW zip (3.x)

Also, even with experimenting different roms - CWM is typically accessible via Power + Sym combo. No luck with ro.secure=0 in the stock boot.img - hopefully someone with more experience can help get something running on this lil thing. I'll keep moving forward anyways, have a few ideas of things to try out - albeiit somewhat limited, it's a start :). Hope this is usefull to anyone trying to mod this sucker.

UPDATE:

Wifi's back, typing from the device. Restored to a old backup using CWM, on reboot toggled airplane mode and was able to see and join my SSID.

(another) UPDATE:

Looking at other models that seem to have similar hardware, Commtiva Z71, Spice MI300 and ZTE v9 (they have the MSM7227 600MHz/Adreno 200 GPU combo - other specs are very similar). Not sure what they have for sensors, etc.. but I found the ones on the ADS1

Sensors:
BMA150 Acceleration Sensor: 0.2mA by Bosch Sensortech
MS-3C (YAS529) Magnetic SEnsor: 4.0 mA by Yamaha Corp
MS-x Orientation Sensor: 0.0 mA by Yamaha Corp
ISL29011 Light Sensor: 0.0 mA by INTERSIL
ISL29011 Proximity Sensor: 0.0 mA By INTERSIL

[Android General] AmauryRR:
Build Info/Kernel Config from Device.

I've attatched the system.info.gz and config.gz for the stock kernel dumped from my own device.

As far as some ROM testing I did earlier, CyanogenMod 6 for the Z71 (using the Sharp ADS1 boot.img) actually makes it past the Sharp logo and goes to the CyanogenMod boot animation, it stays there but its trying to load something lol. (Luckily I have a few nandroid backups, so flashing back to my previously rooted setup seems to work).

Maybe if I can find something that can work with this setup, then I can look at that device for something to base off to work with CM7. Fun learning experience so far. Going to try a ZTE V9 rom with the Sharp boot image and see what results from that (just trying to see what makes it past the initial boot logo). Might try swapping the build.prop in and see if that does anything lol (using the CM6 keys in their build.prop).

I'm guessing for the CM7 source (or AOSP), I'd have to find a device/manufacturer/device that I can base off for a working sharp/ads1 folder grabbing the needed proprietary files and libs.

Sharp fx plus no clockworkmod

My rooted sharp fx plus is now unable to boot up after doing some modification. I do not have the clockworkmod recovery, so I am unable to load any unsigned roms so I keep getting the response:

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

Can someone help me please. THANKS IN ADVANCE
[Android General] AmauryRR:
Hi there, AFAIK you will need a custom recovery to load an unsigned .zip - I have not been able to find a way around that with the stock recovery. Unfortunately neither Sharp or PCD Phones has released a signed update.zip (or kernel sources for the ADS1) to restore it to stock from the sdcard.

Only thing I can think of is try using ADB logcat if possible to track where its looping, and maybe remedy it (remove/replace the offending apk or clear dalvik cache).
[Android General] rrkevon:
Thanks. I'll see if i can
[Android General] AmauryRR:
I might have found something, when I was rooting a Galaxy I997(?) - there was a modified 3e recovery that allowed loading unsigned images.

If theres a way to modify the ADS1 factory recovery to allow unsigned images, then there may be some hope. For the galaxy, it was replacing a recovery binary with the modified one in /bin and booting to that (rooted phone ofcourse).

If I have some time I'll dig mines up and flash it to stock and try from there.

If the phone is stuck in a bootloop, but has the filesystem mounted then there may be hope. I'll try to see whats possible this weekend maybe.
[Android General] rrkevon:
I also tried using a signer software, however, it seems only part of the rom was signed. This was the response:

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

Installation aborted.
[Android General] nstewart:
I realize this is old, but so's my phone (ADS1) and apparently the links. All of AmauryRR's hosting links appear broken. I'm not running Windows, so SuperOneClick isn't much help.

ADB only sees:

List of devices attached

????????????	no permissions

Also, Volume-Down + Power from off doesn't appear to be the boot menu combination. I can't post in the developer section yet, so necroposting it is.
[Android General] AmauryRR:
From what I remember, the recovery itself had to be modified to allow unsigned roms to work - Signing it yourself, I'm not sure if it'll give the recovery the "signature" its expecting.

Yeah, I had to drop my site for a while - I host it myself as a hobby with whatever I have to spare, and unfortunately funds weren't right. Just started a new job, so hopefully I'll be able to get my old site back up.

If you're running linux, IIRC you have to make sure the udev(?) permissions are correct for the device/user. Been a while, so bear with me lol (haven't had this phone in a while, since sharp wasn't helping with the source) - alternately, I think you can try running adb as root (sudo adb kill-server, then sudo adb) and it should recognize the device in terminal.
[Android General] bludotos:
I can host the stuff for you if you want.

hey guys, just got my HTC ONE S S4.. i just rooted mine today and installed the TRICKDOID rom-- now am looking to flash this kernel.. but am not sure how... sorry--newbie

would anyone please give me a few steps on how to flash it? thanks and I have the CWM recovery

thanks again

thanks again!!
[HTC One S] glacierguy:
Please read before posting... this is posted all over.

Put the boot.img in the same PC folder that u have the fastboot.exe program in. Turn on USB debugging on your phone. Make sure drivers are installed and reboot phone into bootloader. Plug phone into PC and push the power button to go into fastboot. Open cmd window on PC. Navigate to the folder containing fastboot and the boot.img (ex: cd C:\Android\platform-tools)

Then type the following command in cmd window

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Reboot phone :D
[HTC One S] dr_rick13:
thanks a looooot man! +1 thanks
[HTC One S] LikeaG2root:
Or you can simply flash it by using TWRP recovery instead of CWM recovery.

[HTC One S] dr_rick13:
which recovery do you think is better?
[HTC One S] invasion2:
TWRP. No need to fastboot flash the kernel.
