Wouldn't this potentially drain battery though? Since the touchscreen is staying active all the time waiting for a swipe. Does this even allow the phone to go into standby or deep sleep?

Where can I find the link to request a replacement nexus 7 under the screen pixile issue?
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
I can't get the Amazon Appstore app to install. It gives me the message "Do you want to install this application? It will get access to:" then a list of areas and boxes for cancel or install. When I click install nothing happens. The cancel box works. (I did check the unknown sources in settings)

If it is being blocked by Google, that would suck.
[Nexus 7 General] Threevo:
I'm pretty shure its being blocked by Google.
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
If it's being blocked I might return my Nexus 7. It would suck that they would only let you buy apps from them.

Not true it's working for me. Go to Amazon& request a new link to be sent to your email.

Thats strange, i was able to do it on my N7. Maybe a reboot of some sort?
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Works fine here. Go into Setting>Security and check Allow unknown sources. Go to Amazon web site and follow instructions to download and install. Did that to download an older version of a zombie killing game that works on N7.

Works fine for me. I use it every day to get the free "cr"app of the day.

[Nexus 7 General] jamerican413:
If you're installing it from a previous backup from another device, it most likely won't work (not assuming you are, but just in case...) Like the others said, go to Amazon and get it directly and you should have no problem.
[Nexus 7 General] mkiker2089:
What worked for me was clicking the link for tablets. It says something like "no email or phone number, click here" and that downloaded the APK directly into my system download folder. From there it installed just fine. I had to do this to get it on my Google TV also. It seems to bypass some sort of test since the Google TV isn't officially compatible with it.
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
I just worked with an Amazon tech, got it to install using by going to this like in the browser on the N7.

[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
I find it incredible that everyone is giving Amazon a free pass for contributing to the Android Malware myth.

The fact you have to enable side loading on an Android phone to allow Amazon, means any other malware could also slip in. Using Amazon app store is a REALLY bad idea (plus the fact it's a barren wasteland compared to Google Play, and most of the apps are really out of date versions).

Surely the lure of free versions of old apps is not that strong that you want to open your phone up to allsorts of Android malware nasties?
[Nexus 7 General] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
Bugger the Apps they get games too. :D Of course only if you're from a certain country. :(
[Nexus 7 General] Andrew025:
Majority of the free apps are a joke.

I usually check it every day and realize they're all trash (except maybe 2 apps so far) and then I uninstall it. For some reason I get struck with the idiotic idea that I may be missing out on some good free apps, so I stupidly install it again in hopes of some decent apps...... it never happens :eek:
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
That's what most people think. Once you discover what Amazon are offering for free is basically stuff that deserves to be free anyway, make sure you re-tick the Android security setting and revert back to the proper Android store that Google host.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
When it first came out, it was great. Now, the free app is usually a very crappy game. In the past, I got:

Fancy Widgets Pro, Weatherbug Elite, Thumb Keyboard, App 2 SD Pro, Moon Phase Pro, Quickoffice Pro, SoundHound Infinity, Shazam, SwiftKey 3, and several other good ones.
[Nexus 7 General] Compusmurf:
1. I've never once gotten malware and I always sideload apps. I always leave that setting unticked as do most folks I'm sure.

2. having Amazon app store or any other app store doesn't change your default android Google play store.

You want malware, go download Blackmarket apps or pirate stuff, you'll get it then. I do suggest tho, that everyone should install a malware scanner. Avast, lookout, etc.
[Nexus 7 General] Nospin:
What? Side loading doesn't put you at any greater risk of malware. You always choose to install an app, whether you side loaded it or not.

Nothing wrong or risky with downloading the Amazon app store, being able to choose a different app store is one of the best things about android. CHOICE.
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
ALL the Malware stories about Android stem from non-Google stores, admittedly not Amazon, but once that option is unticked by your 60yr old non computer literate mother (for example), it's unlikely to ever get ticked again. And that is the problem. From that point on, they are doing the modern equivalent of surfing without a firewall. Sure if they only go to good sites, everything will be fine, but you can't guarantee what they will be tricked into...

THAT'S the problem....
[Nexus 7 General] chisaki:
Being able to choose is one of the reasons I decided to try an android device. I have an iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad 2. The are all joined at the hip to the Apple store with no choice.
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
Sideloading can also be used to add apps to your device that don't show up in the market for your device but do for another device you own, without there being any malware issue involved.

My 60yo mother most likely would not be loading apps on her device or even know of the existence of other sources of apps.

I wanted Amazon Market, but on Google Play it says the Nexus 7 is not supported.

So I used a browser and went to the Amazon site.

The link to Amazon Market requires it to be installed by the Amazon App Store app.

Well OK, I installed the Amazon App Store app, and it installed Amazon Market with no problems.

Will keep the Amazon App Store app just to check for freebies.

It is worth getting; I do most of my shopping on Amazon, and this is a nice UI.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkerdjohnson:
I have already been plagued with the encryption error from ICS, so Ive accepted my fate, and am forced to flash the reverse emmc fix package EVERYTIME I flash a new rom.

I tried flashing it with Jellybean (Monfro's Devil v7 and other versions below that) but it only sends me into a bootanimation loop. Is there some workaround that I can use? I'm not skilled in the way of development, but I am very good with computers. Any help would be appreciated!:confused:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steve-37:
Hey, I have the galaxy nexus and I was wondering how to go about keeping titanium backup files on NY phone for when I flash more Roms . Other phones have an SD card to keep these files that does not get deleted when wiping data. Since the gnex does not have an SD card, is there anyway to have these files on my phone all the time ? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you are using a custom recovery like CWM, it will NOT wipe /sdcard when you wipe data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
Right, when you do a factory reset before flashing a new ROM, the internal (virtual) SD is left intact. Same goes for NAND backups made with CWM. Also, your music, pictures, etc.

Also, you can always transfer files to your computer for a second backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Steve-37:
OK, so it just tells the phone this portion of memory is the SD card and to keep it. Okay thanks !
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tazbo28:
So every time I open the camera up and try to get over to panorama settings, the camera pops up in Macro mode and wont change focus. Is there any fix for this? It doesnt matter if i get a different ICS camera app from the app store, its always the same. It only ever changes if I use an app that is actually only for panorama shooting. I would like to have it all in the stock app if this is possible. Thanks ahead of time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eyeoutthere:
These are two features I would like to have but couldn’t find in the display settings:

1.	Leave screen on when charging or plugged in (or at least have different screen timeouts for plugged in or not plugged in).

2.	Turn screen on when receiving a message and show a preview of the message on the lock screen.

Is it possible to get this with the stock ROM (Sprint S3)?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
for ur 1st question it should be there in developer options if not there are many 3rd party apps in market to do that .

hi,

my omniaII assumes that a headset is always plugged into the mobile, therefore it doesn't play music or even doesn't support answering a call simply, unless I connect a headset and listen or speak by that!!! I've tried to fix it by referring to a good serviceman, but he said that the issue is about motherboard, and he couldn't solve it for me! now I wonder if I can solve this in a software form before finding another serviceman out of my city!!

I mean do u know or even is it possible to change settings or registry values of system to play music from both of headset and outer speaker, simultaneously??if yes,How can i do this?:confused:

I vitally need this ans,tnx in advance for ur answers.;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cavsoldier19d:
I've read somewhere that others are having the same issue I'm experiencing. The phone gets progressively warm to the touch as u get closer to the home button. I think it got lost in the forum break up but I was wondering if its worth exchanging while I still can or is this normal for the s3?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justin860:
It's pretty much normal phone is very thin is very powerful there's nothing to absorb the heat.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kswa1987:
I have had mine replaced once already, but not for overheating. Both phones I have had get the same amount of hotness in the area you describe, but I don't think its a cause for concern. I'm running overclocked at 1.8GHz right now and haven't noticed it getting any hotter. You should be just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mms6:
My Galaxy S3 i747m from Rogers run quite warm as well... After some Counter Strike Portable for about an hour, my phone is pretty warm especially on the front of the glass...

The back is pretty warm as well.

I use the widget Battery Solo from Google Play store to check my phone's internal temperature and it hit around 46 degC (pretty high for a phone lol)

Running all stock: ROM, CPU speeds etc..

My old Captivate never hit more than 35 degC even under some gaming..

Having a phone that is thin and faster than my 2010 MSI Wind netbook is probably the trade off for the heat. I mean on my MSI Wind, there are fan and vents.. On the S3 there is definitely no fans and no vents. Not to mention passive cooling since the phone is practically a complete Plastics build....

If the S3 has more metal especially on the outer housing (battery cover for e.g.), then the metal piece could act as a passive cooling solution...

***I just checked on eBay, and there are aluminum battery replacement covers for the Galaxy S3 all variants. The aluminum 3rd party covers will maintain the Galaxy S3's thickness so all your cases would fit.

BUT IN THIS CASE, the cover will not act as a very effective passive cooling solution due to the interior of the batter cover is covered with plastic, and only the outer layer has a very thin piece of aluminum plate.

Technically though, the aluminum battery cover from eBay may give the phone a slightly more solid build... Not to mention it comes in different colors as well... I have already ordered the Lime Green for my White GS3 ^_^
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amgpower63:
Try flashing a different kernel. I prefer using Ktoonsez's kernel, but it's totally up to you.

But as mentioned above, the device getting hot is normal, since it has to hold a massive screen with thin design. I wouldn't expect too much difference.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cavsoldier19d:
Thanks guys.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tophaholic:
Your sig says you are using AOKP. I had the same observation (phone gets warm and sometimes hot) when using both the ICS and the JB AOKP versions. I have cpuspy installed and it shows the 1512 Hz being used quite often on the AOKP builds compared to say the stock sammy ROM. This in my opinion contributes to the phone getting warm.

I do not believe this is really an issue per se - it might be just that the AOKP kernel deals with CPU scaling freq a bit differently.

The stock Sammy kernel does a great job of utilizing the lower freqs which makes the phone run real cool.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cavsoldier19d:
My phone ran about the same temp even on stock ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] serge75:
overheating fixed...

I have know this problem with my S2, it even burned my SD card I had to reformat...

I have met the same phenomenon on my new S3 with a battery I had to recharge twice a day...

I think to have found a solution, look at \parameters\battery. You will distinguish the percentage of consumption of each application in use. And in my case, it was the application "Multimedia" which consumed up to 60%. We can force a complete stop. What I did. Since the opening of a photo takes just a little longer, but my battery is 48 hours and without overheating ...

I've been having a lot of trouble unrooting my HTC Evo. I've worked through a lot of the methods I've found posted but nothing has worked. I could really use some help.

The phone was rooted about a year ago. I rooted the phone, but never flashed a different version. It's been on the original rooted version since it was done.

I'm currently running Android 2.3.3

I've got Superuser installed with Clockwork Mod for Recovery

This is what I have done so far.

I downloaded the unrevoked S-On tool and ran it. It didn't work and or didn't change to S-on I tried it at least a dozen times and kept getting an error.

I then ran a different version of the radio because it was recommended and It Did Work.

I then tried Unrevoked S-On again and it still wouldn't work.

I then saw a thread that said to flash the PC36IMG and it would then change the S to On after I did it. I couldn't get the PC36IMG to flash I kept getting an error on that.

I've looked all over for a possible solution and haven't been able to find one. The phone is having some technical issues with the screen and I need to take it back in to Sprint to have it repaired or switched out. If someone could help me I really appreciate it. I don't know if I posted this in the right place, this is my first post.

My root info is:

Supersonic EVT3 Ship S-OFF

Microp-041f

[General Questions and Answers] sniper8752:
is there a way to get an older version of an app?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Zadabest:
Yeah the locked bootloader, and all these devs jumping ship has caused me to make the sad sad decision as well.

I remember using the OG I9000 Galaxy S and the simple joy of browsing up and down the XDA forums looking for a new fresh ROM to flash. Unfortunately I don't get the same joys with my RAZR and I think it's a bummer, considering it's an attractive and svelte device with good internals. (Also, it's Android. Why would you lock your bootloader if you don't agree with a "open" ecosystem. Damn you Motorola.)

I'm rocking the XT910 model GSM unlocked and I just have a few things to take care of beforehand.

The little crevasse between the edge of the phone and the screen is home to (in my case) some lint which is although minor, is really unattractive and downright annoying. It's the little part of the glass where it slopes down into a ridge. Has anybody cleaned this before? Would anybody suggest I use a toothbrush to brush out the little dust and lint?

Also, I'm no fan of the SIII (cheap plastic phones belong in Toys R Us, not Best Buy, also S Voice is a sham), and I'm not sure how happy I'd be using a dual core One X with the knowledge that there is a quad core version in Asia. If I do hold on to my phone until say, December, do you think I'd still be able to fetch ... say ... $300 used in excellent condition?

Thanks

I love my RAZR Maxx. I've had the OG Droid, OG Atrix, Bionic and Droid Charge - the RAZR Maxx is by far my favorite. Really, I bought it for the 3300mah battery and the notification LED, but I'm really starting to love my RAZR Maxx.

The Atrix and Bionic displays were kind of crappy, so I was a bit hesitant to get the RAZR Maxx, but I'm glad that I did. I guess they changed their displays to SAMOLED+?
