[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kahlan86:
I apologize in advance for necroing this thread.

With that said, I'm having a incredibly difficult time getting my PS3 controller to work with my Sprint SGS3, stock. For Christmas, my husband got me a GameKlip with the wire so I wouldn't have to root my phone. The wire has micro USB on one end and mini USB on the other, so one end for the controller, one for the phone. I can skip the USB On The Go cable.

After purchasing two apps (I'm getting a little impatient now tossing money away), reading instructions like that in the original post, and having the pairing tool not work, I'm at a loss. When I have the phone and controller connected, all 4 lights on the top of the controller slowly flash on and off. And when I go in to the Sixaxis Controller app and click "Pair Controller" nothing comes up. It's as though it doesn't see the controller at all.

I have the controller set as the default input device on the phone as well as the gamepad enabled in the app. The BEST part out of all of this is that most buttons on the controller natively do control the phone. The start button acts like the home button. Triangle and Circle are the return/back button. Cross is the confirm button. And the d-pad/left analog stick navigates through the apps/widgets/pages that I have on display.

I just can't get the thing to work natively in a game. Even when I create .map profiles, it doesn't work. I also have the USB/BT JoyCenter app and it sees the controller connected via USB. But when I try to map buttons, it doesn't seem to really do anything. And the controller still does f'all in games, regardless of what settings I choose. I'm assuming I'm missing a step or two somewhere.

Any help is appreciated. I'm about ready to send the GameKlip back and just play how I used to.

I created this photo, its plain and simple. What do you think?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ~wolverine~:
Not true.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
You can get paid apps free regardless if its rooted or not, how ever if you do like the app you should buy it and support the dev...if everyone illegally downloaded things then devs would never push out updates...

And no one gets 21mb/s down on the infuse...att advertises up to 21 mb but you won't even get close...21mb/s down as LTE average speeds, I had an infuse and would get 6mb/s...got my LTE vivid and I get 23mb/s

Other than those two...is say its a pretty decent spec sheet...all though not sure why you made it??? I quick google search will tell you everything and more about this phone :P
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scottx .:
The infuse is no way better than the s2. You must have never owned an s2 because mine eats infuses for lunch.

Not bigger either. My s2 skyrocket has the same screen.

Wtf...really....really....where are my free apps....:p:D:p

Look closely...attention to detail....a must...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mg2195:
lol obama be a gamer...but did anyone else notice that there is like COD/counter strike/BF on all the laptops screens?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DangKid:
This is dumb. And you should feel dumb for stealing apps. Go back to the iPhone if you want stolen apps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sumukh.s:
Very true. I own both a Galaxy s2 Skyrocket and an Infuse and the reason I got the skyrocket (for non-contract price) is because it is better than the infuse and that still stands true.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] grneyez:
Hi, what will be effect of accepting an ota update once one becomes available if you are rooted/boot loader unlocked. Will root be lost, and will the boot loader re lock? Would a program like root keeper be able to keep root?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
In prior experiences on other devices it was usually one of two things:

The update would go thru and overwrite your unlock and/or root and you'd have to start over.

Or the update wouldn't go thru since you have a modified system.

I'm sure we'll know the answer to this question soon enough. :cowboy:
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] grneyez:
Thanks for your reply.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
In theory, this would depend on what type of update is pushed.

In some cases of a "patch" update, more than likely root and CWM would be kept.

If it's a full update, then probably it might include a bootloader.blob and a recovery update.

There's no real way of telling, unless you know what the update contains. Typically, a small update (10-20mb) is just some sort of a patch update. Anything larger (100mb) would probably overwrite your root and bootloader.

Not sure if there is an option to "download but not install". Then you could check your SD and see exactly what's in the update file.

It's common for some Devs to grab an update, and not reboot till they copy the update file.

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] grneyez:
Thanks for your reply, if a full update is pushed in essence the tablet would go back to stock. Would Root keeper keep root in this instance? and if it did would we then have to unlock the boot loader again to install custom recovery and roms once they are available?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
I would suspect "root keeper" would probably not work in this case. The issue, as I have see since version 3.1 HC on the Iconia a501, is that with each update, there must be newer methods developed in order to attain root. And Acer, although they did a good thing and allowed Fastboot OEM Unlock, they just keep making things more difficult with each version they put out.

And now with the 700 series, where it seems the bootloader version is matched to the version Rom,. who knows?

But with the bootloader, all full update roms generally come with a newer version bootloader. So it would be overwritten. But, once a reliable recovery is working, hopefully we'll be able to install custom roms. This remains to be seen.

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] grneyez:
Being that I'm fairly new to Acer tablets and that this is just out for a short time, in you opinion do you feel that there will be decent development of roms? I came from a Transformer Prime and even thou the Prime was plagued with multiple issues, it still had numerous roms developed in a short time. I think the first from was put out as soon as the Prime was unlocked. Don't get me wrong I have no issues with the A700 and love the tablet, but am concerned that the A700 may be overlooked as far as development is concerned. New roms open up a whole new world for the user and put the tablet at a whole new level. Thanks
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Itchiee:
In my opinion I'm not sure. The A510 has been out awhile and isn't exactly taking off in the development area. The A700 does bring in a new era of Full HD tablets which may attract some attention. While it's being overshadowed by Infinity & Nexus, and the reviews from users and tech websites haven't been too welcoming honestly. There is a lot of turnoff due to the heat issues, and the un-optimization of the Tegra chip and ICS (Since the TF700 has its share of lag issues, with a supposed faster processor) although the 1.028 ROM seems to have leveled off some of the heat issue on my tablet (Placebo? would like confirmation from other users). If your just a regular user then the A700 will be fine, no problem. If you like to tweak your devices then you may be in the wrong area.... Over in the Asus TF700 they are completely chomping at the bit for its release and will have a extremely high level of development when it comes out. The Asus line of tablets has a very strong following..... While I really like my tablet I will keep an eye on the Asus although I cant get over the horrid speaker placement in the back.....I just can't.

I do hope that people such as Moscow Desire and ZeroNull will take the time to fully unlock this tablets potential.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] grneyez:
I hear what your saying, I'm feeling the same way, have not seen much development in the A510. I enjoy using the A700 but would like to see more of its potential opened. Kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place, have a good working rooted/boot loader unlocked tablet with possibly not much development and not knowing where it will go from here. I know the problem I had with the transformer prime in getting a decent working tablet, and am concerned that the Asus Infinity mat have the same issues as the Prime. I am one that like to install new roms and tinker with the tablet so don't know what to do.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] twinkybot:
Hello,

I searched for the answer of my question but could not find it.

What have I to do before I can update a rooted A700.

If I try to update with the OTA: Acer_A700_AV043.RV07RC06_EMEA_DE and it sais that it didn't work. As mentioned in some posts above.

What should be my next steps?

cheers.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] jpearn:
Temp unroot using Superuser and then re-run the update from Settings
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] arghargh:
That doesn't work. I removed root, the update still fails. I guess that the unlocked bootloader is the problem.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] swour:
I didn't have root because method 1 from ZeroNull wasn't working and the risk of something going wrong with method 2 was too high so my device only had an unlocked bootloader. It installed the two updates from Acer just fine, re-locking the bootloader in the process.

You probably flashed your boot ROM?
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] arghargh:
I used method 2 since 1 didn't work for me, right.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Sterist:
yep temp unroot in su doesn't work at this point in time, probably because of lack of system r/w access among other possible reasons.

I'm stuck on stock rooted, update fails. i used the cwm file to get rooted as neither method 1 or 2 worked.

any ideas how to get the update working :rolleyes:

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] alx5962:
you don't have a german firmware so it fails when the version is checked.

So you need to use an update matching your firmware at first.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

As I got my hands on most of the recent A700 updates, all have a recovery update included, so root will be lost.

In theory this could be removed from it, but can't be sure if the update need a new recovery or not.

Hi,

I live in the Netherlands and bought my A700 in neigbour country Germany. Unfortunately the device is not able to install with dutch language, so I want to install dutch stockfirmware on it.

My current image is Acer_AV051_A700_RV16RC01_EMEA_DE and build number is Acer_AV051_A700_1.049.00_EMEA_DE.

I downloaded a zip file Acer.AV051.A700.RV09RC08.WW.GE_A41J_A.zip from Dutch Acer site, but Acer warns that wrong SKU may cause update failure.

Can I just install the downloaded firmware on my A700 by following instructions in the zip file? Or is there another way I should do this?

Should I first unlock a bootloader? Or root?

Thanks.

Haha..only wipe caches & dalvik from speedmod and CF kernel. I won't take any rosk from stock kernel :)

For system apps removal, jusy need root and titanium backup :)

So, how can the phone lag with stock kernel and be OK with CF-root ???

Placebo ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phenryth:
Maybe related to the init scripts. For sure the main thing is the root with this kernel but wihin these tests and also for all samsung devices I had with Cf, it were always behaving better.

As I also said, should be related to samsung apps removal, especially the hubs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Da mOnKeY:
Got to be honest I disagree with a lot thats written here.

Point 1 :- Why shouldn´t we use this set up??You might have or had problems but a lot of other users don`t,me being one of them.I have had NO laggs,my battery doesn´t heat up that much with WiFi,nothing freezes and the battery life is 100% top,all what you did in Point 3 with usage I get in Point 1 plus a few hours more.

Point 2 :- Once again I disagree,I´ve had no problems what so ever,only rooted for a few extra apps and removed NONE of the Samsung apps,still fast and smooth.Battery life still top,even upto 3 day usage depending on what I´m doing.

Point 3 and 4.....can´t say anything about these points because I won´t go this far,why should I ,everything is super fast,no laggs,a lot less battery drain:good: no need for any mods.(bluetooth also works;) )

Maybe I´m one of the lucky ones with a good Note :laugh:but this report won`t help me,maybe a few with problems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phenryth:
Hi I think you don't agree wih my report cause of different perceptions between you and I.

Battery perf is linked to what is acceptable or not for both of us and also from various comparison through many flashes since GB.

And for sure, Linked to the type of use we both have.

It is the same for smoothness. I must say I am very sensible to lags and freezes even milliseconds one :) For instance, I am so maniac with it that I can detect a lag in a movie while no one noticed around me.

Plus, you can tell about many things to explain mobile OS perf and I will not accept this since I can not accept that a phone running a spec near to a PC ones, suffers such perf issues.

The best example is the smoothness experienced with my nexus with Jellybean against ICS. It is day and night.
