Hi guys this is a simple request for a configuration number. I've been having an issue with sms, the thing is that I can receive and make calls without problems, even I can recive sms's but I can't send any sms I always get an error saying "Cannot send sms" I think it is related to the "SMS Centre Number" wich is automatically given in the messaging app, I remember that I used to have a number in that menu but now I only have "00", it is under "Messaging/Settings/Advanced Settings/SMS Centre Number" If anyone can share your sms centre number we can build a data base for further problems we might have with it.

The number I need is the one for Mexico's Telcel carrier (I really dont know if it is a generic number or if there is centralized server that gives you your carrier's sms centre number)

I have not been messing with Base Band (Radio), I still have the one that came with my phone, also I'm using franco kernel milestone 4.

Thanks in advance, I hope you can help me out guys.

No such option in my ROM. Looks like a MIUI related issue. You should try a different ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iferlive:
Yes thats the way you find the smsc number in miui, to find it in any other rom just put in dialer *#*#4636#*#* ann under "phone info" at the bottom there is the smsc info

Post questions to ask Google now that will bring up cards or talking results, or something cool like the "barrel roll" easter egg..

I'm sure we have all shown off things on our phones at one time or another. Currently I have been showing off Google now to people and looking for questions/commands to add to my collection.

There are the basic "what time is it in X place?" and the same for weather..

You can tell it to define a word and it will.

"Who is the cast of X?"

"Who directed X?"

"What is the running time of X?"

"What is the population of X?"

And of course math problems..

One thing I found on my own that I like to ask it is for medicine, such as "What is a Xanax?", and so on. Very educational.

Another is questions like when/how/where was/did X (famous person) born/died/went to school.

Here's a video of some basics, I'm sure allot of you have already seen it already:

I know the Nexus 7 guide (in Play Store) lists some questions you can ask, but what are other questions you might have stumbled on that it will respond to? All useful replies are appreciated!

[Galaxy S III General] fibrolan:
Hi Everyone,

I am new to Android. I just got a galaxy S3 from Rogers and I unlocked it. I am now using it under Fido. I have 2 major issues that maybe the forum can help me out.

1) when I got the phone the build in settings for Fido LTE did not work so I added my own APN and it now works. The problem is that is I take out the battery or shut off and restart the phone I lose the APN settings. According to Samsung the Apn is fixed to rogers and you cannot add any new APN. Is there a work around to allow me to store more APN as I travel a lot ?

2) I have visual voice mail. since this is a rogers phone, the visual voice mail program is built into the phone. So when I download the visual voice mail app for fido it tells me that there is conflict with another program in the system. Is there a way to get rid of the visual voice mail app for rogers so my visual voice mail for fido will work ?

I of course have the gs3, I have a Samsung d490 plasma with the Allshare dongle and also Samsung blu ray player. My question is how do I get Allshare to recognize either tv or blu ray player, also what exactly can I do with Allshare. Thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong place.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shimp208:
I'm not 100% sure how to set it up trying looking on Samsung's support site or the manual that came with the bluray player, tv or allshare dongle itself. As far as what it can do in can do everything from stream pictures and videos on your phone wirelessly to your tv to PowerPoint presentations on your tv. Hope this helps :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbeelzebub:
I don't have a Samsung TV or DVD player, however, if they connect to WiFi like my Sony DVD player did and my Galaxy Tab, once you install the Allshare / Allshare Play software, it asks if you want to allow various devices on the network (provided they are on) to acess the shared media (Whether its from your phone or computer). Then I automatically had the option to send to any of those devices to play. With the tab, I believe as long as Allshare was open, it went right through to it and played to it (not so on my Sony DVD or PS3 obviously).

I did a full backup the other day but now when I go to Restore it, nothing shows up in the list of packages. What gives?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iandmacdonald:
This same exact thing happened to me. I did not notice if you said this was on the same device you did the backup on or not, but, what I did to rectify this was to rename the folder holding the backup under TWRP the same device ID number as my phone, and TWRP saw the backup.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rajah sulayman:
It's the same device, but now that you mention it Titanium did tell me something about my device ID changing and that it could affect my restored backups. What's funny is, it's been the same device this whole time. I have no idea why the ID changed, but at least now I know why TWRP isn't seeing my backup. Thanks!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mkvarner:
Just keep your batteries with more than 20-30% charge as much as possible.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
I leave my phone charged to 100% almost all the time:

- when I am at work I leave it plugged to the USB port

- when I am working at home, the phone is connected to the USB port

- when I am driving the phone is connected to the vehicular charger

- when I go to bed, if the phone is below 70%, I leave it plugged on the wall charger overnight.

Yet, when I am on long bike rides and the 3G+ data + GPS + synch are enabled, I still get excellent battery times.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Over charging any battery isn't very good for it, it's the same with laptops and well pretty much anything, so long as power is coming in the battery will take it, even if it is at a slower rate.

Ideally you would want it to charge to 100% and then a little bit more, maybe 20 mins, to make sure.

However i know we don't live in an ideal world and charging it overnight is the only thing that can be done by most users.

In my work we have a lot of phones plugged in all the time (all brands) and they have some strange effects happening, eg: Unresponsive touchscreen (removing the charger solves this), Poor battery life, glitchy screen etc.

Saying that, all of our phones are plugged in all of the time so it is an extreme situation.

If your worried about it then get a timed plug so it only charges for a few hours and then cuts off.

But you should be fine otherwise. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Just feel the charger when the phone's at 100% and it's giving off a f**k load of heat because the phone isn't actually taking anymore charge and the charger turns the reduced MAH it draws into heat in the charger, so just don't worry about it because the phone does all the work for you and can't go over a full charge.

My phone stops charging at 100%.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RF12:
Instead of creating a new thread, I'd like to steer the ci bvr station towards what charger is it OK to use.

For the ones who know their stuff, can I use any USB charger or must I use only the Samsung charger that cane with the S3?

I remember reading the circuity that allows a proper charge is specific to Samsung chargers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
Yeah you can use any Micro USB cable or charger as long as it outputs no more than 1000mah.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RF12:
I thought a higher output was "good" in that it reduces the charging time.

Could you please explain why one must take into account a limit?

Conversely, is a low output harmful: how about charging from a laptop USB port?

Also, I have a HTC One X. Can I use the Samsung charger with it: how do I find out the output limit for the One X?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_P:
A higher current can damage the battery and possibly the phone and some people say the phone at any current above 1500mah but still haven't seen any proof yet, and you can probably get away with 1300mah but the more you the the hotter the battery gets then slowly expands and might pop, and yes you can use the HTC charger no problem but check any charger you use for output current wrote on charger, and also yes you can charge from a laptop or any really slow charger you like.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delacrow:
Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought the Samsung phones block excessive current and can accept up to 1amp. Also when using any charger that doesn't have the middle cables short-circuited would produce 500milliamps regardless of charger's output(this can be turned off with custom kernel). That's why there is a list of car chargers on gsII or Note forums that have the pins shorted. That said, people had reported that using HP touchpad cuts down in charging time while increasing heat.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RF12:
I am looking into this a little more and some useful info I found.

My GT-I9300 charger outputs 1000mA @ 5V. The phone charges up quickly. No problem there.

When using a USB port on my Macbook Air (2012 model), under About This Mac > More Info... > System Report... > Hardware > USB > bottom USB High-Speed Bus Hub listed: I see that 500mA are avail from the USB 2.0 port (conforming with USB 2.0 standard specs), but the GT-I9300 is only requesting/ drawing 96mA, whether I am using the original Samsung USB cable which came with the phone or my favorite short Jawbone ERA USB to microUSB shorter cable.

It just takes much longer to charge.

My One X (S720E) draws the full 500mA avail from the port:

It should be noted that some Apple peripherals/ devices (iPhone, iPad etc.) can request and get an additional 500mA from the port on computers/ monitors that supports this.

Here is the Apple Support Article that covers this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spamcakes:
Pretty much everything uses Lithium-Ion these days, and it's perfectly safe to leave overnight, heck I even upped the AC charge voltage to a straight-up 1200 on AC power.

Charging at lower powers is equally harmless, but if you use the phone you may drain faster than it can charge.

All in all, thse rumors about decreasing battery life are getting sillier and sillier these days. Earlier batteries were a bit finicky, but they have improved A LOT, and honestly, a new samsung battery costs 25 dollars? If I'm still using this device in 3-4 years when the battery finally gives out I'll be very surprised.

Dear all,

I would like to use my headphones with a bluetooth microphone or headset. I like my earphones and don't want to go through the wireless A2DP BT to listen to music, but in the same time I would like to have the possibility of a hands-free solution. So my question, is it possible to have the sound output on the earphones and the sound input on the mic of a bluetooth headset (like a clip-on on which I don't connect my earphones)

Is there anybody that can fiddle with his device if he has the proper hardware?

Thanks

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smrsxn:
The intention of this thread is to come up with do it yourself steps to replace a cracked prime screen. Replacement screens are easily available on ebay and cost about $100 USD.

Also the replacing should not be so tricky (once we know how) because there is no soldering or heat gun involved.

There have been a lot of teardown of prime's, but unfortunately none of them contain information on how to take out the glass + digitizer successfully.

I think here is how the prime screen is layered. In the front is the Gorilla glass. The second layer is the digitizer which is glued to the glass. The last layer is the LCD screen.

Here is an image of LCD panel of prime (Image from Anandtech teardown)

Here is an image of how a replacement screen looks like

I have been able to perform the following steps so far..

1) Open prime (easy)

2) Unscrew 4 screws that hold the LED panel (easy)

3) Take off a few tapes (esp the yellow tape that holds the digitizer ribbon.

Steps I could not complete so far (hence speculating)

4) Pull off the LCD panel

5) Take off the two ends of the digitizer ribbon from the motherboard on the other half of prime. (unlatch the connector, and pull ribbon gently)

(at this point the Screen + Digitizer should be completely seperate from the rest of the body)

6) Take off the WIFI & WIFI + GPS plates from the top of the frame

7) Take the replacement screen, and put in the WIFI & WIFI + GPS plates

8) Place the LCD panel on the new replacement screen. Tape and screw in all 4 screws.

9) Connect both ends of the connector ribbon from digitizer to the motherboard

10) Make sure nothing is loose.

11) Attach both halves of the prime again

12) Turn on the tablet, and if screen comes on and you can interact with touch screen then we are done!

Sounds easy... it should have been easy too... just that I have not been able to figure out how to easily complete step 4 above.

Has anyone else been able to get past this step?

I will update this thread with any feedback provided and will mention your name in credits as well for sure.

Hopefully, once we can solve this, it should be much cheaper to fix cracked screens compared to RMA or third-party fixes.

EDIT : August 2nd

Thanks to 'Two Dogs', he found a recent thread where someone successfully replaced his prime screen. You need to have a shattered screen (like mine :)) for his steps to work.

Look at the third last post on this thread

really like the idea of this thread and what your doing here. I havent needed to take apart my prime yet and hopefully wont ever need to. good luck!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Parastie:
Yeah I agree. I've had this thing for a month and a half, and the screen already has 2 scratches and a rub mark that goes across the entire screen where (I guess) it rubs along the lower edge of the keyboard. The ridge between the keyboard and the trackpad. I'd love to be ble to replace it when it gets unbearable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] julljus:
You need suction cup an heat gun or hair dryer an you must slowly heat all four corners and then you can remove old digitizer or cracked pieces of it. Its tricky but put it all back together is hard, because digitizer glass is so thin and fragile. Do not push it hard or it will crack.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ccrobin:
I saw a movie on youtube for the original Transformer TF101.

I assume this is very similar.

For the TF101, the digitizer/glass was adhered to the lcd panel with 2-sided tape. He used an exacto knife and just inserted it between the two layers and went around the entire perimeter of the screen (think he had a heated one, but said a regular would work too. The heated one just slid through the tape better).

He made a mark on the blade of the knife so he would not insert it too far to risk damaging the ribbon cable (though your new screen should have the cables on them, so probably doesn't matter if you damage the old ones). Using the new replacement screen as a template, you should be able to mark your blade to get deep enough without getting too deep to risk damaging any components.

Here is a link to the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brcZLrocBio

Start about 2 minutes into the video to see how he got the glass off (the first 2 minutes discuss dis-assembly, which you have already done).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krucifix85:
I'm interested in this, how do you open the prime to begin with?

I think i'll just buy a total screen replacement, about AU$120 on ebay, and just plonk the new one in, but I want to find out if i can easily open up the prime before i buy.

e: oh wait, that $120 product is simply the glass + digitizer. where do i go to find it for $70??

ee: nvm, i replaced 'prime' in my ebay search with tf201 and it found the cheaper one!
