[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
I had forgotten about the $1.34 Google Play balance thinking there wouldn't be anything worthwhile to buy. So, today I happen to run across Asphalt 7 and it was compatible with Nexus 7 unlike Asphalt 6. For .99 cent I was going to pay out of pocket but when I bought it it deducted from my $25 Google Play credit. Nice...

These games are already taking up almost half of my 16GB.

[Motorola Photon 4G] ClipTy:
After downloading this rom and thinking everything would be just fine when moving to CM7 on my brother's rooted Photon, I come to a boot loop! I tried to use RSDLite to flash a SBF over to the phone, it fails, I try to use Android' Recovery to flash a new rom, fails, and then I try to factory reset and wipe the phone, FAILS! I have no clue what to do here.

I am so used to my Sensation 4G and everything is so much simpler on it, but I have no clue what I am doing with this Photon. Can someone please point me in the right direction of what I need to do? I need some real answers! I've tried tons of guides here on the forums but nothing seems to work!

Normally I could use CWM to fix it all up, but I never could find it for this phone!

Help!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ClipTy:
bump. Please, need help. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
if you dont have cwm installed, i assume that you flashed that rom while in bootstrap recovery because you didnt state that the phones bootloader was unlocked.That particular rom is an unlocked only rom, which is why you're stuck in that loop. If I'm right and you flashed that rom via bootstrap, you should be able to get back into it by powering down the phone, holding power and volume down, then using the volume down key to cycle through the options until you hit 'android recovery', then press volume up to boot into it.

At that point, go to mounts and storage, mount usb storage while phone is plugged into your pc, and place this rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1648297

On your sd card. After this, go back into mounts and storage and wipe data, system, and cache. Flash the rom you just placed onto your sd card and reboot.

Again, this is all asuming you installed bootstrap recovery, if I'm wrong let me know and ill try to help you further.

I forgot to add, you're also going to need to download a stock blur kernel and place that on your sd card aswell, flashing it after you flash the rom. I can't remember where to find the stock blur kernel but give me a second and ill try to find it for ya.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ClipTy:
I don't find that very professional. I think the best you can do is tell me which section it belongs in. At least Acvice offered help...
[Motorola Photon 4G] ClipTy:
Thanks you so much! I knew I would have to flash the stock stuff, but I just couldn't find it! Yes, I used bootstrap as I thought it was the only means of getting into cwm. I wont be screwing around after this. Only problem is, the phone is dead! I need to charge it again lol. Thanks for helping. Ill let you know the outcome later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ClipTy:
So I am downloading that rom you gave me, seems like a good one, now I am just waiting on the Kernel, have you found it yet? Oh, and I couldn't mount my phone through recovery, so I just took the SD card out and did it myself.

EDIT: I tried to install the rom, I got an E: signature verification failed and the installation aborted. I've also tried this with other roms before. What is making this happen?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Meh, you just flashed something you shouldnt have is all. It honestly happens to all of us. You learn the most by screwing up your phone haha.. Figured i would have you try that method as it would have gotten you a nice fast rom and also fixed your problem. But it looks like youre just unlucky. Were just gonna have to get ya back on stock by flashing an SBF.

1) Download the Windows Moto drivers and install them. Make sure you choose 32bit or 64bit, respectively. (quick google search)

2) Download RSD Lite (quick google search)

3) Download the SBF located here and unzip it.

Use this video to guide you through. Some of his links are outdated which is why i linked the one above. If you are used to ODIN on Samsung devices, you'll probably already know what to do as it's the same kind of program. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ClipTy:
I've tried RSDLite with an Sbf before, it never succeeded.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevierayvaughan:
Alright, well I installed Nova launcher (even bought the Prime as I really like it!) and I emailed the support about this:

That's the response I got. So is there any way to get the double-press of home button reassigned [without root]? Quite a useful shortcut is useless to me if only S Voice can use it :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabeloooooo:
Does that work in the apps, or just the home screen?

Basically, I want to assign double tap of the home button to multitasking, but I need that to be available within the apps, not just the home screen.

Tx!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevierayvaughan:
Yeah I'm still looking for a way to do this (and without rooting, preferably). I have come to really like Nova launcher now and it has excellent gesture settings that are very useful, but the one physical button on the front of the phone isn't being utilized as well as I'd like.
[Android General] SystemsLock:
One of my absolute favorite features of Jelly Bean is Google's new text to speech engine inside Google Now.

At first I was under the impression that the voice only sounded so good because it was prerecorded to match the limited set of Google Now commands ("The weather today is...") with arbitrary words filled in by a more versatile yet less capable engine. However, I was surprised to find that Google Now is equally capable of handling arbitrary word definitions. Which there are simply too many to prerecord. For the most part, Google Now appears to have a fully featured text to speech engine.

Unfortunately, I was saddened to find that the actual text to speech engine available on Jelly Bean devices (while a significant improvement over previous iterations) is not the Google Now voice. I recall reading an article describing Jelly Bean as having two forms of text to speech. A more capable online version (the Google Now voice) and a less capable offline engine (the standard engine). This is apparently the case.

So far I've found that any apps making calls to the device's text to speech engine return only the default voice, not the Google Now voice. I would be absolutely thrilled if someone found a way to build apps capable of using Google Now's online voice engine. Or at the very least, force Google Now to read arbitrary text.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
I just love my 8.9, definitily because screen size, but after decades waiting ICS I gave up, its time to change, JB is not a reality in Sammy devices so I thing ICS is ok, but my question is, what is the best option, I saw any detail in gsmarena and 7.7 looks like the best choice, all spec better instead of screen :(

What about?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] StarkCity:
Rooting and flashing JB on your tablet is your best option. Only thing you won't have is your camera.

Sent from My Beast™
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
I think custom Rom is a great job, but I use my tablet camera a lot, even being a 3M, the best option would be a Sammy Rom, 7.7 super amoled and 196ppi looks good, 1.4G exynos too, would be anwsome a GT8.9 with these spec.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] FlanFlinger:
Any tablet with a Super AMOLED screen would be awesome, but it would also be bloody expensive.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] magnus the bullmastiff:
Come on, man! You have waited until now, and when ics is on its way, you give up.

btw, 7.7 is small. If you have a decently sized smartphone, the 7.7 is too small for a tablet :). That's why 8.9 is great, because it's the perfect size.

Anyway, this is all your choice.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
You are perfect right, 8.9 is the perfect size, I really dont understand why it is unique, Xoom 8.2 looks like very good

but I heard something about a poor battery time.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] magnus the bullmastiff:
So, you don't have many options: Keep the galaxy tab 8.9 (these days we are getting ICS), buy the galaxy tab 7.7(too small), buy the xoom 8.2 media edition(very good tablet, very good battery life), wait for the ipad mini (don't kill me) or head to the 7-inchers.

If I helped, press thanks, it means very much for a newbie.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sbeddoesdesign:
Yeah I'm still waiting on ICS (mainly so somebody can port JB with the camera, HDMI out etc. drivers) because the size of the tab is just right. I find the 10" tabs just that tiny bit too big and the 7"s, while great as e-readers, sometimes I just think "It's too small for web browsing without zooming so I might as well use my phone", this is particularly true for people with a Galaxy Note.

I believe ICS on our device is due this month (all the other tabs have gotten it so ours is next on the list), so not long now, and if you are able to flash custom ROMs, somebody's likely going to grab the drivers from Sammy's ICS and use them to complete a JB rom.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] lrcquest:
8.9 is the perfect size for a tab. But much needed updates are screwed up by Sammy. Also no ext sd card slot is a pain. Otherwise perfect. 7.7 is a tad smaller & pricey. Wait till ics gets out & we will have some good custom roms to play with. Also the camera drivers for cm9 cm10 also will get sorted out.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
As a reader of Linus Statement if you open my chest you will find a linux disk inside rs..., so ipad (at any size) would be not a possibility, but I liked to know xoom batt has a good performance, I read opposite in many places, so I'll dream about a galaxy note 8.9 (its free :D )
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] magnus the bullmastiff:
If Sammy 8.9 had Exynos chipset, faster firmware updates, Amoled screen and SD card slot it would be the best tablet. I hope they come out with galaxy tab 2 8.9 with quad core CPU, S Pen, a little bigger battery and full hd screen, because tab 2 10.1 is worse than the old 10.1 and tab 2 7.0 is worse than 7.0 plus.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
Galaxy tab note 10.1, now I have something to dream... :)
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sbeddoesdesign:
Note 10.1 seems like the best tab ever, but I still prefer the shape, size and weight of this one to any other tab.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
What about a galaxy note 8.9 II ? :D

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Scania-patriot:
I've been dreaming of this for a long time...

Do you think that Apples lawsuits will compromise Samsung willingness to produce our dream?

For now I'll be fine with my 8,9 but the note 10,1 is on my wishlist for christmas :angel:

As said earlier 8,9" is a nice and practical size. A note 10,1" is a little to big for being on the move but will do fine until a SGT 8,9 II comes around.

Now back to testing the new official ICS! :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pedrotorres:
I'm not quitting my 8.9 but I must admit that I'm disappointed with the late update for ICS... I can only imagine that will be no chance for us to get an official JB.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] jlobodroid:
I gave up. Christimas is near and galaxy note 10.1 will be my next toy. 8.9 (my first love) will be my second tablet only for custom roms

Just switched last night and very happy with service so far. Anything interesting going on with this phone yet. or should I just hold off till jb releases? I am a serious flasher. probably flashed 20 different roms on the note before switching. Not to mention nightlies.... every night. Or so. Size is nice but a hard adjustment from 5.3. I'll get over it considering how fast this booger is.

Phone has only been out a couple weeks so...so far so good. For as early as it is I am impressed. Currently I am on cm10 and while it has a few bugs I am excited.

Welcome aboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Since we have a locked bootloader our version probably isn't getting an official CM release, so development on that front has been slower than on the other variants. The available pre-alphas work well (albeit with a substantially longer boot time) but have major issues with data and thinking your phone number is unknown upon reboot. This results in being unable to send MMS.

I'm personally waiting for things to become a little more stable before I dive in, but others already have. Since the dreaded IMEI issue has a fix I can recommend at least checking it out. Google Now is pretty nice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
What made you change to Verizon? Just curious lol. I think at&t has the best selection when it comes to smartphones.

I use to be on at&t also. Too many dropped calls and at that time I was there, no good smartphones besides the iPhone.

Service and customer service wise Verizon is the best out of at&t, Sprint, and T-Mobile in my experience. But I hate Verizon for locking down these boot loaders!! I currently have a RAZR Maxx with a locked boot loader too. It sucks for us folks that like to try different roms and kernals.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] murphy_31047:
Well I barely was able to make a phone call at my house and when I was able to get thru it would drop 4-5 times. Data was a joke. Every where I go I really dont have good speeds. And the data speeds fluctuated too much. And considering Verizon got lte in my area it was a no-brainer for me to switch. Cost me over $500 in etf, but I could care less I'm so freaking happy with Verizon. Especially since lte is 30 mbps at my house. It's a downgrade to use my WiFi lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
I also get good Verizon service at my home and everywhere else haha. Fringe areas the data may slow down but I'm always able to make calls and text when other people can't. Verizon is a beast! at&t gave me slow data and too many dropped calls so I don't see why they're getting all the tight phones! Or maybe Verizon is just picky with what they want in their selection.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crampo09:
As it looks like theres no way using a Developer unlocked Mobile to run Apps or now that Samsung have blocked the Interop Unlock - even when you restore.

Is it possible to download a Previous update and "update" the phone that way. An update that doesnt have the block and so it doesnt affect the data on the phone?

Thanks in Advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
"Updating" to an older version is not possible, no. It might be possible to spoof the current version to an old one, if the phone is interop-unlocked, and then "upgrade" to a firmware release that's actually older than your current one... but even that might not actually work, if the updater checks the checksums of the "old" files. It wouldn't work with OS updates for sure; those contain differential (rather than canonical) patches.

Installing an old, stock ROM with the old firmware does work. However, while this is possible with Samsung gen1 phones, I don't believe anybody has found a way to do it with gen2 phones yet.

Finally, restoring a phone backup (as made by Zune when updating, or as made using the Easy Backup tool which just spoofs the update process), definitely does restore both your unlocks and your ability to unlock - that is, it restores the registry (where the unlocks are controlled from) and it restores the firmware (where the ability to unlock is implemented). If this didn't work for you, it's due to one of two things:

A) Your backup (more properly called a "restore point") was created at a time when your phone already had relocked and lost the ability to unlock.

A.1) You can use an older restore point, if you kept them (which I strongly recommend); just move it back to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update.

A.2) Before you ask, no, you can't use somebody else's restore point; they have device-specific encryption that we haven't broken yet.

B) Your restore worked, but trying to interop-unlock again failed because you updated your Diagnostics app from the Marketplace.

B.1) You can undo this by first uninstalling Diagnostics from the app list, then re-installing it using the phone dialer.

The other option is to use the stock flash tool and just update to Mango from stock.

I have the files for the Samsung Focus v1.3

I can upload them, but if you use it on another device, or on v1.4 it might brick your phone.

Just say if wanted.

I have used it a number of times, because of screwing up my phone and it not being able to boot up, even after formatting.

You will just need to put the phone into download mode, and it takes about two minutes.

Is there any hack/workaround so that I can move apps to the external SD card on my rooted Verizon SG3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Solar257:
Can't move apps, but you can move the app data. check out this app, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262. I used v2.0o. I used it to move the downloaded content from Rdio off my internal storage and onto my external sd. Just know that the top line is the destination line and the bottom line is where the files are coming from. Also make sure the destination folder location exists before placing files there via the second line.

EDIT: I have to say that while it works I had difficulty downloading new music to my moved location on the extSD card as a result of the app. The music that I had moved worked fine, but I just could not sync new music to my phone after using this app.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DiamondJay20:
has anyone done a teardown of the Sprint Galaxy S3? I wonder because I know they embed SIM cards, and want to know about if the plastic inside were cut, could one conceivably remove the SIM card and install a hack/update/ROM to allow it to accept a local pre-paid foreign GSM SIM card? Also, if one managed to get to the SIM card, would removing it make it inoperable even if it were put back?

I also wonder if anyone knows how identical the S/T/VZ Galaxies really are. I know Verizon is releasing an OTA update which will allow people to take their GS3s overseas, and I strongly believe Sprint should do the same. I've even sent Sprint PR people emails (addresses I got from seekingalpha.com news release articles).
