[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
I've been using that popular cheap $5 stylus with the round rubber tip, it finally broke and the tip is loose.

I mainly use the stylus for swype text input, and general navigation, no drawing. What would be the ideal stylus for the galaxy s3? I'd like to be able to use it on the soft menu and back buttons too. I like a soft tip, not hard like the C pen (which i saw in the review does not work on the soft menu buttons).

Has anyone used the iFaraday stylus ( http://www.ifaraday.com/ )? That seems like my first choice right now, it would be nice to know if it works on the soft menu buttons.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
I just bought a cheap three pack of stylus' off Amazon for ~$1 w/ free shipping. Being plastic, they're much lighter than my old aluminum Boxwave pen, but they're functionally equivalent and nice enough in quality (especially for only ONE DOLLAR :) )

Not worth overpaying for these things, IMO.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Yep that's the one i have. It does work great for being so cheap, slides on the screen pretty easily. You really need to tap hard on the soft buttons for it to work which was kind of a hassle. Also my tip became loose after a month.

The iFaraday has a cloth tip and requires very little pressure (according to the website). So it should slide on the screen a little better, and since it operates with light pressure, i'm guessing it should work on the soft menu buttons. It's $12 + shipping and theres a 30 day money back guarantee which isn't too bad.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Enigma_cpl03:
From what I heard, Samsung is supposed to be releasing a variant of the S-Pen for the GSIII like the one on the note? I could be wrong but I remember hearing this in a Tech conference video a little while back.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
That'd be impossible, since the S3 doesn't have a Wacom digitizer built into the display like the Galaxy Note's do. :) Maybe the S4 will have it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Enigma_cpl03:
Yes I know it doesnt have the digitizer but they said they will be releasing a variant that uses the capacitive Technology. I don't know if it was just a marketing fluke. But I will try to find the video when I get home.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
How old was this video? Mabey it was the samsung C pen they were referring to? From the video reviews i've seen of the C pen it looks like an overpriced piece of junk.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Halmo:
Apparently the C-pen only works on the SIII so I assume there is something special about it that makes it better for the SIII.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Enigma_cpl03:
Yeah that was it. I didn't look to into it just heard that they were releasing it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
The C pen works partially on other devices with highly sensitivity screens like the galaxy s3. It works on the note if you press hard. Which shows theres no special screen technology unlike the note and its stylus.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maxboy:
Does anyone play dead trigger on xs with .453 ?

I found that it has problems to render maps ( building) as well as zombies.

The map and building should be in dark green, it works on gb and .452, but now all buildings are white color and have ghost and lag when you drag around.

This is same to zombies, they are whiteish and ghost/ lag which make them all look shiny, lol!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Stenlius:
The same for me - .453 and Dead Trigger updated today - before the update, the map was OK on .453 firmware, it is something in the game itself...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maxboy:
Really? Before the update is good? I tried both 1.0.1 ( paid cracked version) as well as1.1.0 ( free version) and both yield the same laggy ghost effect on .453.

It didn't affect the game play at all, just odd rendering.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sinple:
Just curious, was the forced 2d rendering in developer mode turn on? How about when turning off?

After I flash back to .75, dead trigger had the correct graphic
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] maxboy:
I tried both on and off in .453, it yield the same result, so I don't think it matters.

I cant recall if I really tried it in .452, but GB is all good.

I think it is the driver problem? Or madfingers mess up when they fix adreno205 bug ?!
[Nexus 7 General] Lakewell:
I've seen this in a couple of other device forums, but not in the Nexus 7 forum. Looked at my Nexus 7 today and overnight Google Wallet had drained 6% of the battery. This is with wifi off. I did notice that NFC was on, I'm hoping that is what caused it. As you can see in the screenshots, the Nexus 7 was kept awake all night and I'm guessing it was Google Wallet's fault. Was it because of NFC?
[Nexus 7 General] blahblahyoutoo:
I noticed it too. I turned off NFC and killed Wallet and it's immensely better now.
[Nexus 7 General] Lakewell:
Good to hear, thanks.

Just a few quick pics to show you an idea for a way of easily maxing a cheap OTG adapter more discreet. I'm not claiming its pretty but it works

Started with one of there for £1.90;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150758616053?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1480wt_1037

Slit the side of the soft black plastic cover. I found all the wires to be embedded on one side so made 1mm deep cuts on the other side allowing it to bend. Cover with material of your choice (I've not got that far). Add a simple velcro pad to your case and usb device of choice and attach in place.

Sorry the pic is an attachment. Haven't had chance to look for the upload rules/sites
[Nexus 7 Accessories] blahblahyoutoo:
Why not just get the ones that are a cable? They bend easier, and you can still velcro if you want it attached to the back.

What do you think about new cmw recovery? Is better than v5.0.2.8?
[HTC Wildfire S] goodguy25:
The only problem I found with it is that the soft keys are not usable.
[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Wayyyyy better. The speed of the backups and restores are faster. And the deduper makes subsequent backups like lightning.
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
It is a huge improvement of cwm recovery. It is much faster and has a good feel
[HTC Wildfire S] Kolos28:
I heard that CWM recovery v6 cause errors during charging when the phone is switched off.

These new recovery is only on ICS or the GB as well?
[HTC Wildfire S] rezo609:
The recovery works with every ROM
[HTC Wildfire S] umair42:
I used cwm 6.0.0.7 and it worked great.

Backup and restoring time is decreased.

Size of backup is smaller than before i.e

Before 498 mb

After 344 mb
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
No 5.0.2.8 is better

This recovery 6.0.0.3 have a crappy background over which the cyan font cant be seen clearly.

Also it shows error status 0 while installing some roms that clearly sucks. And also I haven't noticed any speed up back up/restoring thing.
[HTC Wildfire S] umair42:
Modpunk has released cwm 6.0.0.7 i flashed it.

It looks great.

This is what Art had sent me...

Output 5.0 volts 0.7 amp

Did they give me the correct charger?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Its not the stock charger, but it'll work. Stock is 5v-1.0a
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mailjasons:
no, you should have a 5.0v 1.0 amp charger. if you use the .7 amp charger you will notice your battery life depleting faster then normal. you can get a charger that has an output greater then 1 amp (or 1,000mA), it won't hurt the phone as long as you stay at 5.0 to 5.5 volts. the phone will only draw what it need's in ampere's. i used a 1.7amp charger (till i lost it) for awhile with my phone's, the battery would both charge faster and last longer without any harm to the phone.

SHORT ANSWER... THEY SENT YOU THE WRONG CHARGER :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bonez537:
I am wondering if I should call up and ask for a new one..

My battery dies a lot faster now since I started using this charger..

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeiroe:
Just wanted to see if anyone else in here with the soak test build is noticing a 4.1.1 experience that is lacking. 4.1.1 on my Xoom seems to be missing the buttery smoothness in Project Butter. All stock, and the screen transition's frame rates are the same as in 4.0.4. The new transition effects are there, but it's far from being as buttery smooth as my Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooly1:
I'm pleased somebody else has noticed this, I've only had the OTA update for a couple of hours and was wondering what all the hullabaloo was about.

Performance and responsiveness seems on par with ICS IMO, Perhaps it will improve with a factory reset which I will do later.

Using Dolphin browser I have noticed that some video reports on online news sites seem to be very stuttery and not as good as they were with ICS, presumably due to the lack of flash support in JB.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3one:
I just got OTA 4.0.4 ICS (wth) wheres JB?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
My experience is different. I always Factory Reset my devices when changing OS names (HC to ICS, ICS to JB) as I don't like having all the settings/configurations/app data stuff "upgraded" in place and prefer a clean install of the OS (upgrade OS then Factory Reset) and then configure and install my apps.

I was running my Xoom on stock ICS with root and a 1.5ghz kernel. My Xoom on stock (but rooted) JB at 1.0ghz feels exactly the same if not even a tad smoother more fluid, especially switching between apps. Even running 500 Mhz slower, it suffers no loss and feels to have made a some gains. Looking forward to running an overclock kernel on JB.

ICS 4.0.4 @ 1.5 ghz smooth/fluid

JB 4.1.1 @ 1.0 ghz just as smooth/fluid, maybe even a little more
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karlherr:
Mine was running like garbage after the update as well. Had the same issue after the ICS update (resolved that by taking the images off of my Xoom). This time I went ahead and did a factory wipe. Night and day difference - the thing is flying now.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigarant:
Just got JB. Not really impressed so far tbh. No visible difference in speed, and animations are very laggy now.

Edit: Also, the boot animation hasn't changed. Starting to wonder if something's gone horribly horribly wrong here. (Version: 4.1.1, build number JRO03H)
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcatron:
No, all is well. The boot animation did not change. I feel that the update gets faster over time. Do a reset, then use extensively for a few days and I bet you will be buttery smooth in no time
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigarant:
Thanks :) it is getting better after that. I do like a new boot animation though :p

Good evening.

I've had a browser and a quick search bit not found anything specific to the One X.

I've installed a custom ROM, and more I can't install the RBS banking app from Google Play.

I have purchased For Explorer and found the correct file, but I'm not sure which variables to edit and which strings to use to allow the banking app to install.

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Edit: sorry, title should be "banking app"! Can a mod please edit?

that looks to be a row of funky lookin pixels, which would be the screen, not the digitizer... the digitizer just registers touch input and does not actually display anything, it just is an overlay over the screen.... as to how to troubleshoot the problem I would grab LCD test from the market and go from there

Hey,

build.prop tweaks aren't exactly meant to improve your performance scores, rather than to improve the general usability. These tweaks dont necessarily boost your benchmarks. If you see an increase in benchmarks, then great! But the effect it has, has to be felt rather than seen!! :)
[HTC Wildfire S] blogslogger:
Yes, i think it is.
[HTC Wildfire S] blogslogger:
And we are likely to get higher scores in GB than in ICS, because GB is fully optimised for our devices, while ICS is sort of modded to work.. (no offence to the great devs who made porting ICS possible in the first place!)
[HTC Wildfire S] baluuu:
I belive thse are just bunch of init.d tweaks so any rom that supports init.d should work. In terms of scores you wont see any significant changes. This doesnt iprove your ram work or your gpu and cpu speed. You will however see overall improvement on stock roms and not neceserly on moded ROMs as they alrady have their own tweaks.
[HTC Wildfire S] nikhilkaushik:
It worked !!!!

I wouldnt say that there was a huge difference in the performance but yeah, the scrolling speed, a small glitch in the graphic interface sometimes when some heavy was in background etc did reduce to nill.......

Thanks for sharing mate !!!!
[HTC Wildfire S] klacenas:
Its a bundle of tweaks. kernel settings, build.prop edits, temporary file and cashe cleaner, etc.

Some of these tweaks are already included on most of the gb roms. Probably the reason why some do not notice improvements because they are already tweaked!

Open zip and find the the scripts inside the init.d folder.

See attachement.

then some scripts will be overwritten with another scripts.
