[Galaxy S III Accessories] lagoona2003:
I absolutely love Swype, but I have to say that something is super buggy in this latest version (or at least for the S3). Every time I type something wrong, or it gets the prediction wrong, if I try to tap the backspace to delete one letter at a time it jumps all over the place and starts deleting random parts of my sentence instead of sticking to the word I'm on.

Then, even if I try going back to the word I was originally trying to delete, it will STILL force me to delete all the other parts of my sentence before allowing me to properly delete the original word.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] macdroid01:
I'm with the OP.

I'd rather have a snap-on physical bluetooth keyboard. a nice big one just as big as the S III itself.

There are BT keyboards out there but they're small like the iPhone.

I've tried Swift and Swype. I couldn't get used to swype but I do LOOOOOVE SwiftKey. The Longpress numbers is awesome. I felt great paying for it. One of the few apps I've bought with such ease. Google should buy SwiftKey. Everyone here is right- the stock Samsung keyboard is crap. Especially the landscape one. At least try swiftkey first, though, since I don't think there are any keyboards or keyboard cases yet for S III although since it is so popular I imagine there might be one soon. But SwiftKey is a huge improvement on Samsung's keyboard.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jamesbra:
I've used keyboards like this and for someone my size (6'4") they are harder to use than the slideit kb I use. I write all day long for classes and one just can't beat swiftkey. That being said the full size bt keyboards are amazing if you carry a backpack or something

I backed up my note this morning, traded a guy my note for his new S3.

Now... I cannot figure out how to transfer the stuff I backed up from my Note... to my S3...

It would help if you included what tool(s) you used for the backup. Nandroid and Titanium will be difficult at the lesat since you cannot replace the apps

your google account (gmail) that you used for your note should sync your contacts, calendar, music (if you used google play music on desktop), browser, and photos to any android phone that you sign in with, if you had sync turned on :). No apps though.

Okay, something that no one has mentioned to you is that you have to transfer your SIM contacts or phone contacts to Google and then it will sync from then on.

On my iPad I used an app called Air Video <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-video-watch-your-videos/id306550020?mt=8> to stream videos from a hard drive on my wireless network. I would like to do the same on my Nexus 7. Does anyone know a good app to do that? I searched the Play store but wasn't able to find any.

I'm not sure how to exactly do this, I have a HDD plugged into my router, how do I go about finding it now? Any help would be great thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outrager:
I tried ES File Explorer and that seems to work for Windows SMB network shares.

Just open the app, click the top left and Local to LAN. Then click the Search icon and it will find your computer on the network. Then just pick the file and open it with your preferred video player. The quality for my SD videos seems very blocky. I don't know if that's normal or not since I'm too lazy to put a file onto the internal memory to test, but it works. 1080p videos don't really play though and I haven't tried 720p. I might try some other apps later on.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zach382:
ES File Explorer + MX Video Player. Works great. Rumor has it that an update to Solid Explorer is coming out soon that supports SMB share streaming.

Both of these stream from my WD Live TV Hub, not sure if they will work from a networked hard drive, probably will as long as there is some kind of DLNA/UPNP server on the NAS. I use these in conjunction with Dice player, which seems to play any codec up to 720p.

XBMC works like a champ with PS3 Media Server installed on the computer. Able to stream 720p mkvs with subtitles to the N7 without any issues or stuttering
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outrager:
So I tried out BSPlayer and found it very easy to connect to my Windows 7 smb network shares. I liked it so much I used some of my credit to buy it.

It does get crashy, especially if you have a lot of LAN videos in your Recently Played, etc Playlists, but I don't use those anyway. The video seems much better quality than using ES File Explorer and MXPlayer/VPlayer. Load times and seek times are super quick with just BSPlayer too. The gestures for the interface aren't really useful to me, but they said they will probably have an option to disable it in a future update.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneman09:
Anyone willing to connect with me via teamviewer to set it up to make it possible for me to stream my videos from my portable hdd that is on my router?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookie666:
Create an SMB share of your hardrive (from the router) and use anything that can access shared files from SMB ie: Dice. on the N7
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneman09:
I did make it able to share on the network at least I thought so anyways. Or is a SMB share different?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outrager:
If you can view the folder through the network in Windows then it's a working smb share.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneman09:
It's weird because sometimes I see the hdd on the network and sometimes I don't. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orbiting234:
I have been beating my head on the wall trying to get this to work. Have an external HDD hooked up to my Netgear router that both my desktop and WDTV Live see and play files just fine from and have for quite some time.

With the Nexus 7 I just can NOT get the damn thing to see and/or connect to it (AndSMB, DicePlayer, UPnPlay, MediaHouse, etc) and the one that actually does log in and browse, won't let any files to be actually read/streamed (ES File Explorer).

Why is it so difficult to get Android to use Samba shares properly when everything else uses my router attached storage just fine???
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneman09:
Same here I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlman28:
Just go to the Plex website and download Plex server for your OS. Set it up and point it to the folders you want to stream. I use it with my movies folder on my Macbook Pro, Windows 7 desktop, and the HDD that is connected to my router. I gives you the box covers and a brief description of the movie. It streams to my Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, and Logitech Revue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneman09:
But I don't have a server does that not matter?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookie666:
Have you used the IP address of the router? I discovered (for me anyway) that my N7 wont resolve windows machine names.

I've also notice intermittent SMB share dropouts, I'd be interested to hear if this is normal.. maybe my old wireless router is dodgy..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoneman09:
I'm not sure where to put my ip address at, what app do you use? What kind of setup do you have?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cookie666:
I'd suggest DicePlayer, add it as a Samba Server (fill out the details there).

I suppose here is as good of a place as any to post my question, first time poster.

I have an external HDD connected to my laptop, but my N7 won't open it to select the media stored on it. It's not recognising the shortcut as a folder so i can't access the drive from it using ES explorer. Anybody know what im doing wrong?

Thanks.

Install serviio on your PC, and setup The media server (very easy.... select The folder of your HD you want to share) let it scan your HD.... (some minuts) then install skifta on n7, and use it to search on your shared HD folder ;)

I'm putting this thread together with the intentions of creating a group of e4gt users to get together outside XDA and help each other.I've found reading and watching 'how to" videos doesn't always work.i have only talked to 2 other "local'' people and they both liked the idea.So if you live near Central Florida and want to get together over beer or coffee and talk development and help each other that would be awesome since i'm trying to do this in the spirit of advancement for us and our phones.

you can contact via gtalk @ i.no.better@gmail.com

please leave your contact info in your posts so we can make this work. Thank you.

Apparently i have to be more clear on this thread and it's intentions,this not a developer section or Q&A. Instead of limiting our selves to typing and waiting for a "reply" I'd like for us to meet in person talk Android our phones and help each other.Being in person is more visual.We can try things with the help of someone who has done it before.

sometimes "read OP" or watching"review"or"how to"videos doesn't always work. Especially when you 1st did some modification. Human interaction verse reading or watching goes along way.

I could tell you what modem I'm running so could everyone else but that takes time to type out.getting together just advances our phones and Android development.Here is the best example I can give you:have you ever dealt with customer service remotely or on the phone? It sucks not seeing someone face to face plus call could drop than you'd have to start over and pray you get the same person.Getting together avoids that.

There's so many awesome roms for this device and I haven't unlocked my bootloader yet, so I wanted to test some roms out, like I've done on other devices. I submitted a device req to the dev of the app, but wondered if anyone knew of a similar app that worked on the 300.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeavermanA:
Well looks like my TF101 is never going to be rid of the blasted Screen of Death. I don't know wtf can be causing it, must be a hardware problem.

My Transformer SoDs every time the unit goes into deep sleep. So basically 1 minute after turning off the display, every time. I've tried so many roms - stock and custom, custom kernels, different recoveries, tweaking settings but it changes nothing. It does it in Honeycomb, ICS and now the new JB roms. Dock or no dock, sd card or no sd card. No effect.

Wtf can be causing it? It never did this in HC the first year I owned it. Only once installing ICS, but now it does it in every damn rom. Wakelock app is the only way to make the tablet function.

[HTC Sensation] LoneFlac:
This is just an easier method you can use to stop your Sensation from randomly rebooting and or turning off.

Things you need:

Electrical Tape

Scissors

Oh yeah and some third party applications have been found to make your Sensation turn off and or randomly reboot so before doing any of this I would suggest uninstalling any of the following.

AdMob (Ad. App. for android developers)

Android Headlines

Bank of America

Basic Color Theme

Fling

LauncherPro

Pandora

Qi Gong Meditation Relaxation

SecuNotePad

The Weather Channel

Talking Tom Cat Free

Twidroid

I would also suggest first upgrading the firmware, flashing a new rom, and finally throwing in a new kernel to make sure it's not a simple hardware problem.

On with the tutorial.

First- Cut two pieces of electrical tape out (not very long) and put them on both sides at the top of the battery. Make sure the tape isn't completely covering the two black indentations in the battery so you can still easily pop the battery out and inside the Sensation.

Image one is located in the attachments below.

Second- Then, cut four pieces of electrical tape in the same length and put two on the left and right side over the two pieces you have already placed on both sides.

Image two is also located in the attachments below.

And finally- Take one long piece of electrical tape and wrap it all the way around the battery towards the top going over the top and bottom strips of tape you have already placed on the battery.

And that's it, just pop it into the Sensation and you should no longer suffer from random reboots and or shut downs.

Disclaimer:

I can not be held liable for any damage (if you somehow damage your phone) by using the method shown above. And please do not force the battery in the phone, if you have added too much tape I suggest you start over and only use two pieces of tape on each side instead of my recommended three.

And always make sure you insert the battery by placing the bottom part of it in the phone first, otherwise you risk damaging your power pins located at the bottom. Thanks for reading, be sure to thank me if I helped somehow. This is just an easier method that doesn't use as much force as the credit card did when I attempted to do it. It seems too dangerous and was very difficult to pull the battery out.​
