[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lun7200:
thanks for your help. I didnt put a password on the backup and i could not restore the .ab file to my other tablet. I backed up my internal memory and unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM and rooted it. I restored the .ab file to the xoom, backed up my apps in Titanium Backup and transferred the TB folder to my new tablet and restore it that way.....thanks again

Hey guys... All of a sudden I'm getting "A problem occurred while communicating with Google's servers." whenever I try to log into my google account. I was wondering if someone could test this for me? I don't know if my location matters but I am in Southern California. My data is working fine, I can access all of the websites I try to go to but I cannot sign into google to save my life. Help!

Fixed, mods you can delete this. T-Mobile ****ed up my data plan.

Funny because I live in so. Cal too and couldn't sign in to google server either! Must be the server.

As most gamers will know, lots of older HD games have trouble with the latest android versions, so as the title says, which roms, if any, are compatible with the most games? Roms other functions must be stable for daily use

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wurealm:
It depends, same rom's may work different on different phones. Games like Asphalt, HAWX, MC3, ShadowGun worked OK on my defy (with CM10, WIUI) but the Assassins Creed FC's after couple of minutes.

Thanks, I'm on quarx cm10 which is great but a few of my favorite games don't work, guess that's the game devs fault though as its generally older games

This is the first app i bought. I've rooted my phone and jailbreaked. But had to buy this app. So good really, it's complex but once you manage it, it will make your smartphone really smart.

Like auto bluetooth/wifi/gps on, without having it on.... Tons of possibilities .... Create your own ****

Look up YouTube for tutorials!!

So are the General and QA posts going to be combed thorugh individually to find out which goes where?

No. As u can see every single general post was removed from each one

Edit: woops maybe not
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
I can't be the only one that thinks all of them should have a combined "Galaxy S III Accessories" section.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
and the "themes and apps"

it was a very stupid move to split them
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
Yeah... AT&T should still get a decent amount of traffic considering how many of us there are.. but Tmobile, sprint are probably screwed
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wond3r:
Also, they split the forums but STILL have it by the AMERICAN carrier name.

They need to have it by the model # name... ie AT&T would be the i747 instead. That way canadian users wont be confused either
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Time_Zone:
This needed to be done. I support the mods in splitting these up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gpgorbosjr:
I don't know about T-Mobile but I've had a Sprint phone and they surprisingly get some decent development going on for the Samsung/Evo phones. Not so much Photon for example, I don't know if they ever got anything good.

+1
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cavsoldier19d:
Sorry for the T-Mobile and sprint guys but I agree with the split. Coming from a galaxy s2 it was ridiculous to try and find att specific posts because there was just so much traffic. Not to mention if u posted a new topic, it would quickly get buried.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] americasteam:
Why in the world anyone would want to wade through so much mess to find something specific to your model is beyond me. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SPLITTING THE FORUMS!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:
I only agree with it for the Q&A and two dev forums. The rest should be together, all the accessories are now in the 9300 forum it seems. I certainly understand the problems, but some of that is because some people (developers included) didn't realize that things like CWM are different on different phones now, so we have people with IMEI problems who --appear-- to have used Sprint CWM on ATT phones (I would have been in that category but Samsung replaced my phone already).
[Nexus 7 General] rockky:
No s***. After all the display hype I was stunned at the crap colors on this thing.

Thinking of returning and repurchasing in a few months.
[Nexus 7 General] rockky:
I think their 'completely sold out' spin is really a back-to-the-drawing board on a few of these things.
[Nexus 7 General] InfinitiGuy:
I bought one for my wife and the display looks fantastic. We use it to view pictures, play movies, games and read books and I'm impressed with the build quality of it and haven't had any of the issues some people have reported. For $200, no regrets.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
I guess mine is defective. They failed to mess up the factory calibration and mine looks great.
[Nexus 7 General] AraDreamer:
They said it's a calibration issue and that a software update will fix it.

Lol, my display is great as well!

OP, it's a 200 dollar tablet, you're reading a review where they compare the n7 screen to the retina display on an ipad2.... Pull your head out of your ass.
[Nexus 7 General] Nospin:
Mine looks great.
[Nexus 7 General] R3dbeaver:
iPad2 has retina display?

:silly:
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
The price tag doesn't really have anything to do with the issue. And they compared it with a Galaxy Tab 7.0. The display really should look better than it does. I agree, seems like they messed up the calibration.

Here is my Nexus 7 (on the left) compared to my Nook Color (on the right). White saturation shouldn't be that bad.
[Nexus 7 General] SoHaunted:
I don't know what the ipad2 has, I don't care for apple so I don't do my homework on their ****. I do know the ipad2 has the best screen though so comparing a budget tab screen to the ipad2 screen is pretty stupid.

Regardless, my n7 screen is more and adequate for my daily use, and and I think it looks great.

[Nexus 7 General] Montpelier:
All the people being defensive need to understand what this review is saying before leaping to the rescue. If the Nexus is good enough for you, that's fine. Your views on display quality are entirely subjective based on the best display you've had the fortune to use for any extended period of time. But what you are looking at is not just "what you get for $200", but a much better display hobbled by a stupid manufacturer error. Try and look beyond your post-purchase rationalization and maybe people can start caring enough to push an official response/solution to this.
[Nexus 7 General] rockky:
Perhaps there are gradeA displays out there...not mine.

I think folks are either in denial....or rationalize it out via the $199 price.

For the resolution purported on this, my display is greatly disappointing...and I know the difference.

The calibration statement resonated immediately...I do think that's what's going on.

If dev's can mod it, great.
[Nexus 7 General] guineaa:
I think it's the denial.

I used to think Apple fanboys were bad... that is until I read the Nexus 7 forums, with many crossing the line from denial to delusional. When I write that small text rendering on the Nexus 7 is poorer than my 12" Windows laptop with 1280x800 resolution and ClearType on, I get 20 posts saying the Nexus 7 renders small text just as well as the retina Ipad or renders hundred page PDFs faster than the Ipad.

I just want a good product. $250 isn't chump change in this economy. Most of us wouldn't have bought a Chinese knockoff tablet for $250 if the reviews had said "craptastic colors, peeling screens, lose adhesive, insensitive touch screens." Think about that. So let's all be honest with ourselves.
[Nexus 7 General] hic9582:
If you don't do your homework on their **** then stop quoting false things. The iPad 2 has an awful screen. The iPad 3 has a nice screen. I know I'm splitting hairs but that was annoying
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
exactly. Ipad 2 has exact same display and mediocre dpi as the Ipad 1. which I have. nexus 7 screen is way better. plus I won't take one bad review on the screen over the other countless ones praising it. there may be a few units out there with the color calibration off. but I'm sure majority of devices look fine, like mines. not worried about the comparison at all. I have multiple tablets and my nexus 7 looks good compared to others. its display is almost as good as my prime display(which was praised very highly). nexus 7 even has higher dpi than the prime. almost as much as the ipad3. nexus 7 display is better than the iPhone 4s so called retina display. this is based on dpi and how apple classifies a display being retina quality.
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
I'm very content with the Nexus 7's display with everything I've done far such as browsing, ebooks, movies, gaming, streaming YouTube, etc.

But now that I read about the issue all of the sudden everything has become worse so I'm going to RMA IT six times disregarding the fact that it's software correctable.
[Nexus 7 General] guineaa:
More misinformation garbage from the fanboys.

Iphone 4s has 326dpi, or about 110 more dpi than Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] Joezhang:
So is this something that could be fixed with an OTA update?
[Nexus 7 General] earlyberd:
Dear OP,

NOBODY CARES.

Raymond Soneira spends all day calibrating $1000+ professional IPS displays, and uses them as a basis for comparison. His opinion on color reproduction on a budget consumer device is about as helpful as Montezemolo's opinion on how well a Prius handles corners.

It's $200. Deal with it.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Paging Dr B:
This morning I had a iPhone 4s, a Motorola Razr Maxx, and a Bionic at my desk. Here's my thoughts...

Motorola phones at this point need to be left out of this conversation because they're hideous next to the GS3, i4s, and pretty much any other newer high end smartphone. The screens are ugly, the UI stinks (although better with ICS), and they just don't look very good. Can you say larger than life bezels?

The i4s' screen next to the GS3 does look a lot sharper but that's because I was holding them so close. I mean the GS3 looked down right fuzzy. After backing them away from my face the GS3 came into focus and that advantage was gone. Iphone screens are so small that you need to hold them up to your face (12 inches or so). Anyway, it was fun using both at the same time. Both were fast although the GS3 was faster in most cases. Just slightly. The i4s did have smoother transitions overall, so they get the points for that. I'm hoping JB brings the GS3 that same level of smoothness because if so Apple needs to watch out, as the one advantage that iOS has over android will soon be gone. All I know is that both devices are fantastic and it's obvious now that they're both totally different when used side by side. It's as though Samsung was trying to avoid any legal issues if you know what I'm saying (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). It's a great time to love gadgets.

After using my GS3 for a few weeks there's really only a few small things I would change about it. This new version of Touchwiz is actually pretty nice. The transitions look cool and it overall feels very clean. There are times when the animations get glitchy and lag on the home screen but I'm looking past that in hopes that it's cleared up with JB. I also really like the dialer until you end a call, then it just sits there. Why Samsung, why? The other thing I would change is the battery cover. Why couldn't they have made the back feel nicer like all of the cool third party ones we're seeing from Hong Kong.

Yeah I wish our screen was a bit sharper, I can't deal with a 3.5" screen. My hands are to big for that.

[General Questions and Answers] TwinHeadedEagle:
Hello,

I was wondering if someone could explain me, how BRICK happens or what to do to stay away from brick.

I searched for this question, but cannot find proper answers...

Thx in adv
[General Questions and Answers] AshtonTS:
It depends what device you have. Different things can cause different devices to brick. Usually a "bricked" device is caused by a bad kernel (more so by over clocking or overvolting), (If you have an HTC device) a bad HBoot, flashing a leak that is incomplete or flashing an update (RUU, Odin, whatever) for the wrong device, or flashing a package for the wrong device or one that is improperly coded.

You CANNOT brick your device by flashing custom roms and recoveries or anything like that, and permanent, unfixable, hard bricks are VERY rare and are usually because someone did something stupid.

If you're worried about installing a custom ROM or something, don't worry, it won't brick you.
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Bricks happen when you try something not meant for your phone.
[General Questions and Answers] TwinHeadedEagle:
Thank you so much for clarifying this to me... :)

I am not total beginner, i possess Galaxy GT-I9001, for 4 months and i installed CWM last week, with complications, i used Odin 4.03 what one guy instructed to me, beside 4.43. First 4.03 failed and my phone failed to boot, I was worrying i could lose the phone. Then i used 4.43 from the Wiki tutorial what fixed the things...

Now i want to Root the phone, so this previous experience scared me, now i am not confident about it so I used to ask here...

So to clarify:

- rooting

-CWM

-flashing - installing custom ROMS

in proper way and following instructions won't brick my phone?

Is it possible that the dev/alpha/beta ROM versions could brick my phone?

How hard brick happens I am interested?

Is soft brick always fixable?

Sorry for bothering with this stupid questions, I am just not too confident, and i don't wanna destroy the phone, i've got no money for another :)

Thanks again and sorry if bad English :)
[General Questions and Answers] ruscan.calin:
bricked= corrupted bootloader

a really bricked phone is like "dead' and the only way to solve this problem is to flash a new-and-happy bootloader by hardware tools like Medusa jtag jig also you can't solve bricked phone by PC software if yo do so then your phone is not really bricked

I don't know anything about hard/soft bricked what's that ??

you can't brick a phone by flashing a beta rom if you don't touch bootloader but you can destroy or cause hardware damage by flashing a rom/kernel not made for your phone so that's very important to know !

to prevent bricking your phone:

1. never use a flashing tool not made for your phone

2.when flashing bootloader made for your phone only use a stable PC connection/cable and is better to use a laptop on battery

3.about ROM Manager :if you don't see your phone in list never use it to flash recovery/rom

rooting means to get root access this is like your Administrator account in Windows OS well, it happens because by default phones come out from manufacturer with root disabled to protect the phone and their business

CWM is a custom recovery in fact this is a little OS that works like Safe Mode in Windows it can help you to flash a rom/update/theme etc

CWM recovery is different compared to stock recovery because it gives you the chance to flash custom things to your phone I mean you have to give a package a digital signature in order to flash it to your phone and stock recovery is restrictive it allows you to flash only signed-by-manufacturer things like roms/updates/themes and here is the place where CWM comes it allows to flash self-signed packages
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
Follow tutorials and you won't brick your phone. Stick to your device forum. E.g ,Just because something worked on the galaxy ace doesn't mean you can use that tutorial on a galaxy mini.

Soft bricks can be fixed,those are just installation errors.
[General Questions and Answers] TwinHeadedEagle:
I was wondering how to remove CWM and to restore original recovery...

I suppose i have to flash my stock ROM, am i right?

Do i need to wipe all data before flashing my custom ROM, just to add i have 2.3.3 i only did CWM nothing else is changed.

One thing isn't clear, when I flash CWM is my stock ROM changed?
[General Questions and Answers] samsgun357:
Why would you want to remove cwm? Its a custom recovery, without it you can't go custom. Use cwm to create a nand backup. To go back to stock recovery, you are correct, but make sure you have correct files etc in Odin. Pulling out your USB cable in Odin without completed will brick your phone, I know cuz I did it. The wrong files can do the same. CWM doesn't change the ROM, just the recovery. I have also heard of bricks from Samsung kies mini. Yes you need to wipe/ factory data reset when flashing a new ROM. If you are only updating a custom ROM, going from (ROM name) v 1.2 to (ROM name) v 1.3 it is not always necessary to do factory data reset but follow the instructions per developer of ROM/thread. Get root, put custom ROM on sd, in recovery make a nand backup, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, factory data reset, install zip from sd, reboot.

Also sometimes when flashing a ROM it might not boot first time. Don't panic, pull battery out/in 3 button to recovery, install zip again, reboot and enjoy.

Hope this helps....if so hit thanks button!

[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
No,your stock rom is not changed,just your recovery. You'll need clockworkmod do install custom roms since stock recovery lacks the features needed to install non-manufacturer roms.

If you are concerned about altering your current rom,you can make a backup using clockworkmod recovery, and store it somewhere like your PC.

Yes,just to be safe, it is better to wipe data. Unless it's an update of the same rom which again, isn't always guaranteed. Just to be sure your safe,backup your apps and clear everything.

Clockworkmod is removed in the bootloader by swapping it out with something else(like amon-ra).
[General Questions and Answers] TwinHeadedEagle:
Ok, thanks

I am planning to use custom roms, but it's not important at this time, I am satissfied with current...

I only need to know how to restore stock recovery, if the phone is somehow damaged and needs to be taken to the service warranty is lost with CWM installed?

Thank you and Sorry again if i am too noob, and asking stupid questions, i just need detailed explanations from people that experienced this, and apparently I've got it :)
[General Questions and Answers] Allanitomwesh:
It is possible to reset the phone fully to stock. This removes clockworkmod recovery and your custom rom and allows you to claim warranty. So far only Sony is the one I'm aware void your warranty permanently if you unlock your bootloader using their 'official' method. They keep you on record,so even if you relock it you're outside warranty.
