Hello there, I like PowerAMP very much and would like the unlocker, but I can't buy paid apps from Play Store.

But my credit card is supported on the PowerAMP website and I want to buy it, but the payment service looks unreliable and I've never seen it before.

Have you bought it from the website?

Is it secure?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton6666:
Hi, after trying out some custom roms like CM9-10 and Omega my phone suddenly started rebooting. It lets me enter the PIN and starts up but after a qouple of seconds it reboots again.

The wierd part is that it autostarts after I insert the battery, but I can enter both CWM and Download mode.

I have tried enter CWM and do a wipe but phone reboots in the middle of the process, same goes when trying to flash CM9 or any other rom I have on the internal SD.

I have also tried following a Swedish guide to restore it to stock using Odin, but after adding the PDA and pressing start I get a Fail in Odin to, something about NAND write fails.

Does anyone have a solution for me? Should I tick re-partition or do something other in Odin?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daz_2000:
I would suggest boot into recovery. Wipe Dalvik cache. Flash Rom. Wipe both caches. reboot.

Do you have international galaxy s3 (gt-i9300)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton6666:
Well I think so, it was sold in Sweden.

The problem is that it reboots doing most of the actions in CWM, I think I have managed to wipe Dalvik but as soon as I try to install a rom it just reboots.

I also tried rooting again using Odin 1.85 but it fails with that version too.

If all else fails get yourself a S3 USB Jig. I bought one, funnily enough it arrived today from Hong Kong and it only cost something like 2,50€ delivered free. Then install a stock rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the2rrell:
If your Nand is corrupt i dont think you can get out of it......99 percent of the time if you can get into download mode your good. but if you having Nand Write issues, i dont know if there is a coming back from that.

hope thats not the case and another member can shed some better light on the subject.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Nand. See posts regarding. PIT today.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton6666:
Could you post a link to that thread? I found this one and have tried flashing some of the PIT-files but it does not work. Or should I flash some other files at the same time?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton6666:
Ok, following one guide witch seams to fix my problem is that I need a 3-part firmware. Every Firmware I have downloaded contains:

boot, cache, hidden, modem, recovery, system -if I extract them one extra time. Is that right? Where should I load them in odin in that case? If not could anyone direct me to a download-page for 3-part firmwares? (I downloaded the last one from samfirmware.com)

It is very strange that the core functions kind of work as I can boot normaly into the system and even run an app if I am fast, then reboot.

Downloadmode works untill I try to flash something.

CWM works until I try to do a Wipe or flash a rom, I can wipe dalvik and some other stuff, but not cache, data and some other. I noticed that You could partition sdcard from CWM should I try that? and if so what should i select in the next screen about partition size?
[General Topics] Brad387:
Since our house already has a main PC for the family to use, and my laptop is around two years old, I was thinking about getting a new device. I mainly want to watch HD YouTube videos, browse the web, play music and complete some homework. I looked at the Asus Transformer range because of the keyboard dock and want some opinions on it. Here is a link to the model I am speaking of on PC World...

http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/asus-transformer-pad-tf300-t-tablet-pc-with-docking-station-13657744-pdt.html

First off, what is the build quality of this tablet like? Whilst I won't be throwing it about, I don't want something that feels like it is going to break at the slightest knock.

Since I want to do some homework on this tablet, what is the keyboard like? Is it comfortable to type with and, as with the tablet itself, is it of a sufficient build quality?

How long is the charging wire which it comes with, as I want to be able to use it from my chair whilst charging? Also, what is the battery life like? If I were to take this on a road trip, would it last a few hours for me to watch a movie?

Will this particular Transformer be getting an upgrade to the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS? If so, any news on when?

Finally, what is the general performance of the device like? Will I be able to smoothly flick between a browser and office suite when doing homework? How will games such as Dead Trigger run also?

EDIT 1: I forgot to ask whether or not you could plug in a USB Xbox 360 controller, USB hard-drive or USB mouse into the keyboard dock's USB port?

You can regain root, but no luck going back to 2.3.4. Use Photon Torpedo to reroot, but DO NOT flash any roms that are not built for 2.3.5. unless you are ready to do work on your phone for the next few days, weeks, months, etc. :o

They look really nice. I have the klipsch s4a and the are really good also. The color on yours are definitely a plus. Like the red and black.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
Put them through the test as monitors and they worked pretty well! For.their.price.range these bad boys are awesome
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
Update:

Left some tips in my truck and the sun some damage to them! But I tried those warped tips on and I love them!! Got way better fit since they expanded and seal even better. Bass is now tight but very present :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kbrn:
I bought the black ones about 8 months ago, they work pretty good, no signs of wear yet, I use them to go walking 3 times a week,

the sound quality might not be as good as you would expect right out of the box, you have to let them burn out a little ..

I'm a satisfied customer!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] getitoutme2:
I recently got MEElectionic's A151 headphones/earbuds. Only $50 and so far I like them much better than the Beats, Bose, and Klipsch that I've had.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
wow the MEElectronics A151's are only $50 on Amazon right now....making it tough to decide b/w them or the MEElectronics Sport-Fi S6's....I currently have Klipsch S4a's and was interested in the features of the Sport-Fi S6's, but I believe the A151's are supposed to be better and at the same price now it throws a kink into it.....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
They are awesome. For running and sports though best choice is s6 given durability. Can't go wrong with either as far as sound goes. Both are awesome value. I've been using my.s6 as iem and am very happy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
Still a tough decision...

or

just have no clue how much better the driver is and if its worth it...like does the sound improvement seen with the 151's make up for the loss of other lil features the S6 has...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
I'm usually not to given to fall into the hype of little features lol but in this case to me it was worth it. But that's just because they're specifically my running headphones. I just finished a nice run right now btw, dripping sweat and they never missed a beat! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Technics0891:
Thanks for putting me on to this company. I consider myself a mild audiophile but it seems I need to get back into the game! Had never heard of these guys until now. For $50 I may give them a try. These would be primarily used for weight lifting and 40-200 meter sprints.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
They'll be awesome for that. You can drown out all the overscreamers at gyms haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
f it, got em both on their way to me now. lol

figure ill use em both enough...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
Lol that's the sarge in you acting up. Go big or go home
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
So what's the word I'm curious on your opinion lol btw I saw the post about the $1500 headphones lol crazy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
got the sport ones in today...not bad....I have no clue as to wtf the carabiner is for though...lol

haven't used them enough to give an opinion really...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
used them both at work this morning here just now and the first initial thing I noticed is that the A151's are about 2x as loud than the Sport Fi's....give the clearity edge slightly to the A151's too but all that is expected given the specs of each set....

both are designed to have the cord go over your ear but the sprotfi's can save the angle when bent, and also has the detachable extension, along with armband it comes with where as the A151's you dont have those lil features...The 151's cord is twisted unlike the Sportfi's and does have the little thing to stop the earbuds from getting tangled also like the sportfi's do...

I guess it comes down to what you want...audio quality or the extra lil features the Sportfi's have and deal with the lessor audio quality(though its not bad)...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
Hmm maybe I should buy those again and give them a other run, not for running though since I sweat buckets
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
im still trying to figure out wtf the carabiner is for that came with the sport ones. lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
I'd test out the Klipsch S4a set too....I have those also and while they are not as loud as the A151's the clearity is there for sure and might even be better....dunno for sure though...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
I think I solved the mystery haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sgt. slaughter:
haha
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cor4twenty:
We had some rain yesterday so I went for a jog. They're not marketed as water proof but they worked lol I love these as my sport in ears

You can only get S-Off by using an XT-Clip. Luckily, you don't need S-Off to install custom ROMs. You will need to unlock your bootloader. This can be done at http://htcdev.com/bootloader/

[HTC One X] DomFel:
Hello guys,

I'm just reporting an issue of me and a friend of mine we're having on our HOXes. We have Three Italy as a network provider, which is UMTS-only. When there is no 3G signal, it goes in roaming on Tim GSM network (without data connection of course); this is the normal condition.

Unfortunately when switching between the 2 carriers and the phone is in deep-sleep, the radio protocol probably gets stuck with no signal at all even for hours, until the phone goes out from stand-by (i.e. unlocking the phone)!!! This is really annoying, 'cause we have continuously got to check the phone when there is low 3G coverage. It really sucks.

Anybody else got this issue?? Maybe the new update for Norwegian users addresses this issue. Unfortunately cannot install the ota file due to cid mismatch.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] igorashu:
Fast boot off by any chance?
[HTC One X] DomFel:
Device is stock!
[HTC One X] igorashu:
I meant the "Fast boot" option in Settings->Power.

I've had the exact same problem immediately after I deactivated it and it disappeared after I re-enabled it.
[HTC One X] DomFel:
Thanks, will give it a try!!
[HTC One X] DomFel:
Ok this is weird. Now whenever I reboot the phone or disable the airplane mode, I get the advice of "Sim Changed - touch to set up new settings" (kind of). :eek::confused:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] JaSauders:
So I picked up a screen protector on Amazon by ArmorSuit... it seemed to have solid reviews and I heard reports of great customer service, so I spent the 20 bones to pick one up. I just now applied it, and it went on well without a hitch. Since it was a wet protector and majority of my screen protector experience was with dry ones, I watched the YouTube video and also thoroughly read the instructions. Last thing I wanted to do was install a wet protector incorrectly and mess up my device.

Once done I checked out the finish. Despite the fact it's been 20 minutes and not 12-24 hours like they say to let it sit, I noticed lots of tiny scratches on it, which definitely looked like it was from the applicator card. What baffles me more is I have a microfiber cloth that came with the kit that I was wiping the screen off with... I noticed even swirly scratches after I was done, yet this microfiber cloth has nothing in it whatsoever!

Er, uh. Has anybody ran into anything like this with screen protector application?

Despite this, I'm still relatively happy with the screen protector as it fits perfectly and was very quick and easy to install. That being said, I'm still a little disappointed in what I'm seeing here, but I'd still trade hairline scratches that aren't that visibleat all (and not visible whatsoever with the screen lit up) versus air bubbles and dust pockets which clearly are visible regardless... which is almost always the case with dry protectors... Don't get me wrong, it's not like it's a series of key-gouging lines here, but when video installation guide shows the tilted tablet glaring off of the ceiling light to show it is 100% smooth and flush with a perfect glass-like surface, that's where I can see these very fine marks.

Maybe, just maybe, this is some sort of epic self-healing screen protector that'll remove those blemishes over the next day as it sits. :laugh: Yes, just maybe.

EDIT, er... uh... under the bulleted list of features I found these two items that I may have overlooked when I first purchased it:

Self-healing technology , Military grade material engineered for your specific device

ArmorSuit Lifetime Replacement Warranty *Made in the USA*

lol????
[Nexus 7 Accessories] GuestK00345:
My ArmorSuit came with a nice horizontal scratch in it and these visible shallow 'gouges'. I'm guessing from the installation card. I'm getting rid of it as it just doesn't look clean. Looks like a thin slab of rubber and not perfectly flat like the glass. YMMV though as I know I didn't install it Grade A, but still, I can't imagine that this screen protector can look or feel like glass.

Part of me like the feel of these wet protectors, but it does feel unnatural and sort of tiring to use. I opted for the 3-pack of CrazyOnDigital (clear) protectors. I figure I will mess up 1, get 1 right, and keep 1 for next year.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
For installing via wet method (sounds dirty no? lol) you have to get almost everything but the device "wet". That includes your fingers and the screen protector (both sides) itself and also the squeegee or card or whatever you call it...

I have seen what is called 'burn' marks if not properly wet. Sucks I know! But The wet products in my experience are always great when finally dry. I have the XO skin and it's about totally dry. Looks great IMO.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] GuestK00345:
"burn marks" sounds about right
[Nexus 7 Accessories] JaSauders:
I'm not sure how much more wet you can get a screen protector when it's already dripping, which was the status of it when I placed it on the screen. Likewise, I did wash my hands just prior and also had my hands both completely saturated in the provided fluid.

Burn marks sounds like some food for thought, but I'm unsure how you can get a burn mark from a microfiber cloth when I'm wiping the screen off in a circular motion. I mean, I didn't attach it to a circular sander or anything...

So in the event this magical self healing thing doesn't live up, what other screen protector would you guys recommend? I definitely want to go with a wet application, as I'm already able to tell a world of difference, but I'm a little dissatisfied with how incredibly sensitive this protector is to scratches. It's great you can take a dremel to it and it still protects the actual tablet screen but when a microfiber cloth scratches it I can't say it impresses me.

EDIT - Just got an email response from them minutes ago. The bulk of the message is pasted below:

I guess I'll have to be a little more patient and see what happens.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] slack04:
Not sure why they don't just put this in the instructions, but here's a trick:

When you're pushing the bubbles out, put the piece of plastic that you peeled the protector off of over the screen. Don't ever use the squeegee directly on the screen.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] JaSauders:
I thought the same thing, but once I realized that the microfiber cloth was giving swirl marks, that whole premise behind that idea kind of crumbled. If a microfiber cloth will legitimently give this screen protector swirl scratches from wiping it clean, then that's pretty fail.

That being said, I'm remaining quite optimistic about this "self healing" thing. Maybe I will see them slowly disappear? Who knows. It is a little more comforting knowing they have a lifetime guarantee, but we'll tackle that conversation when/if it ever becomes necessary. At any rate, I keep reminding myself - at least the screen protector still looks 1000% better than any dry screen protector AND it's protecting the screen in the process. :good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Luda305:
I ordered the exact same 3-pack and I have to say they're great. Got it perfect on the first try and it looks crystal clear. It looks a lot better than those $10-$20 dollar protectors out there.

I signed up for google wallet and got the free $10. The sign up was super easy and I only had to choose which email address to use. That gets me to my question.

How does google know they already gave you the free $10 if you sign up with a different email?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] fakker:
It's per device.

E.g. I got $10 on my Galaxy Nexus and another $10 on my Nexus 7 - same email address. Balance is unique to the device, not the account as such... account+device, my Galaxy Nexus has like $14 left, Nexus 7 says $10 (still)... I've got another account on my phone which has $50 or so, but on the N7 it shows $0.00 (as i've never added cash via the N7 on that account)
