[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] -FuRBz-:
yeah it seems like phone is faulty.. give it sometime and then get a replacement
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IRIE4IPIER:
When I got my Galaxy S3 I was suprised how much more white whites were on it than my GS2, you should definitely send it back and get it replaced. Whites should be white on this phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxmelissaxx:
Go to settings, display, uncheck auto adjust screen tone.. It makes the screen/whites look much brighter.. :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chilled26:
Dull yellow here as well when facing the phone, true white when I tilt the phone in any direction.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] iloveandroid16:
Defective, I'm returning mines, if I can'y get a good screen I guess ill have to get a iPhone 5 beecause I refuse to get a ugly one X.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chilled26:
I've had this phone for a month how can I go about getting it replaced?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxmelissaxx:
Even with auto adjust screen tone unchecked its still no good?? If so def get a replacement.. Mine looks amazing with that setting unchecked.. It's a noticeable difference this way..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] iloveandroid16:
Call t mobile & say your screen is defective.... frabricate a bit & say you have blobs on your screen... & color reproduction is off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] iloveandroid16:
I unchecked it still not white or blueish which I rather have than yellow
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xxmelissaxx:
Yeah then you should definitely return it then.. It shouldn't be like that.. I'd be annoyed with that too.. Good luck with your next device hope everything works out for you :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chilled26:
Returned mine and my replacement has perfect whites! Finally! I couldn't stand that bad yellow tint.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Charlie Brown:
Here is something to help us out color wise. It's a color page tester. You can choose a color like cyan or just black or white etc. to compare and give yourself an idea of what it looks like on your screen.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
That's pretty cool.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
If you're coming from a GS2, like I did, then yes the whites look "yellowish" compared to what you're used to.

My GS2 whites were really bright, with a slight blue-ish tint which I prefer. It took a minute to get used to the GS3, but having also owned a Gnex, I had already seen the slight yellowish whites so it was no big shock or anything.

I've compared my GS3 to several of my friends and store models, they all suffer from the warmer tone. I prefer cool tones like the GS2 but the GS3 is a warm tone set up. That's just how it is.

Hello, I have a problem with my Evo.

I wanna make some unlocking and after that Flash some Custom roms and i want to be sure, which version of mobile phone i have. In my Settings i have an information that i have 5m*2 - I heard that it is not equal to 5m+5m. Can U tell me how to check it exactly?

Your greatful,

Strykul :)
[HTC EVO 3D] elias17:
If u have a sim card and the color of ur camera is gold than it should be gsm ! From where did u get it? And what is ur hboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Make some unlocking?

If you have a SIM card you are GSM, if not you are CDMA.

I have no idea what that means...
[HTC EVO 3D] strykul:
Dudes I wanted to know if I have 5m+2m or 5m+5m version of EVO GSM
[HTC EVO 3D] elias17:
Beware there is a differencr if its 5*2 that means its 5+5 if not than its 5+2
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Doesn't matter what you have. In both versions (5*2 or 5+2) you are restricted to use only 5+2 . Even if you have lower cam of 5mp , you can't use more than 2mp.
[HTC EVO 3D] TomHL:
Just out of curiosity, how do I identify whether my lower camera is 5 or 2 MP?

Wo after getting some bad battery drain I got battery stats and this came up after a few hours but what does it mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] killer8297:
The game works great on Gingerbread with the controller but doesn't exactly work on ICS. All the movement buttons are functioning but I can't shoot or use quick time. I notice that the shoot button works after replugging the OTG cable then the touch control shows up, but as soon as I hit another button other than shoot it stops working again. I'm not sure if anyone had that issue, so any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crielstar:
My max payne is running fine no glitches and buttons all respond well. But im on stock ics 4.0.4. Maybe ur rom or dpi is messing with it...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] killer8297:
Im on stock ics as well :( controller still not working properly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] crielstar:
Not to sure then. Very strange how plugging it in makes shooting work. Could be remnants from gb version hanging around in the sd data, try a uninstall then look for and delete any remaining folders like cache or save game data then reinstall. Goodluck
[Nexus 7 General] Badgered:
I am having some very frustrating problems with my 8GB Nexus7, mainly in that the USB-OTG using stick mount (rooted etc.) just will NOT pick up any drives! I have had a flicker of hope with one but it mounts and dismounts immediately and only after a clean wipe/re-flash. I have tried three different cables and 4 thumb drives to NO avail!

If someone else has experienced this or has an idea how to identify/solve the problem I would be most appreciative.
[Nexus 7 General] terracode:
1. Are the drives formatted as FAT32?

2. Are you sure that the cables you are using are USB-OTG and not a standard micro to standard USB cable?

3. If you have OTA Rootkeeper installed, did you re-root is temp unrooted?

4. Mount and umount can occur if not enough power is going to power the device (see #2).
[Nexus 7 General] Badgered:
Thanks for the help;

1. All drives have been tried both NTFS and FAT32 formats,

2. Well I purchased them from amazon advertised as USB-OTG cables. One of them works with my other device (SGS3). The other did when it came in the post yesterday but now it won't...

3.Just installed temp un rooted then restored, nothing changed. root is secure.

4. Yeah starting to think i need to get back on amazon for the 3rd time this week :eek:

Cheers
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
Only the third time?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] Badgered:
Ah, sweet relief. Purchased a 4th USB-OTG and it worked. I the problem was; the length of the microUSB connection was too short on the ones I had tried.

SORTED! Thanks:good:
[Nexus 7 General] ehidle:
Which cable did you end up ordering? I would like to get one, but don't want to repeat your experience :)
[Nexus 7 General] Badgered:
I'll send a PM with the link, it's not allowing me to post links...
[Nexus 7 General] fridgeman:
can you let me know which one you got that finally worked and if possible the ones that didnt as i have just ordered one from amazon. cheers
[Nexus 7 General] woundedworld:
Agreed. I ordered the Sanoxy, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00. and it is a little too long at the connection. It won't stay plugged in unless I hold it in place. Looking for one that is a good fit and that works.
[Nexus 7 General] jphilippon:
I'm also interested in the one that worked. TIA
[Nexus 7 General] saul972:

[Nexus 7 General] straxusii:
Can someone post retailer, make and model when they get the info as to which one works
[Nexus 7 General] PeteT:
I had to install StickMount (from google play) to get mine to work. It needs root access.
[Nexus 7 General] VINCIE:
After ordering two of the non cable OTG connectors I found that I wasn't getting any joy, until I modified the moulding at the Micro end.

Reading this thread made me realise that my Micro USB connector was bottoming on the bezel, so , got the old Stanley knife out and cut the moulding away so it had a forty five degree angle on it, and it connected. The angle doesn't really make much difference, but just make sure that the moulding does not bottom on the bezel, which effectively shortens the reach. It worked for me, so might be worth trying provided you haven't paid big bucks out.

Big THANKS to BADGERED for giving me the idea.

Love my N7, so much more useful than the Ipad I had.

[Nexus 7 General] Foxman2k:
I've ordered the Sanoxy one and based on comments aboev and now a bit concerned.

Will this work? Is there a better cable?
[Nexus 7 General] pahealey:
Only works with 8GB sandisk

I have tried 2 cables both bought from ebay and advertised for the Samsung galaxy s2. The cables looked slightly different. Usbotg worked with powered hard river but only 1 of the 6 flash drives, (8 gb sandisk) 16 gb SanDisk did nt work 32 gb Toshiba didn't work I tried formatting ntfs and the older type. Deleting the name on the thumbnail drive might help
[Nexus 7 General] oldpueblo:
I just ordered some as well. I wonder though if they aren't going all the way in because of the way the bezel is shaped on the N7. It might not go all the way in because it tapers and pushes it away from the edge maybe? I plan on trying to shave it a little if that's the case. Like the guy below:
[Nexus 7 General] ceejay83:
i have the sanoxy cable as well. it works fine with my galaxy nexus. my n7 detects the usb storage, but it doesn't show any files. any solutions?

edit: on jellybro rom, it has cooked in usb otg feature and it works for me now. uninstalled stickmount

[Nexus 7 General] scorp888:
did the other cables work with a mouse/keyboard and only not work with usb storage?

Reason i ask, is I have a cable that works fine with mouse/keyboard but not with usb storage.
[Nexus 7 General] oldpueblo:
Trip report, I ordered two of one and four of the other just in case (they were dirt cheap so why not, both links below). Received them both and they all work with the stickmount app. Just an fyi, don't pull the cable if your tablet screen has turned off. You will have to hold the power button for a long time to reboot it. They are also perfectly identical in every way that I can tell, so I'm guessing they were made in the same place. Mold, length, port, etc. They don't show under storage in the tablet settings, they are mounted as sd1 and you basically browse to it with ES Explorer and play media from it. So only good for movies/music, etc not installing apps to probably (if that's even possible). I have a 16GB with all of Battlestar Galactica on it, and I randomly played episodes across all of them with MX Player. It was nice and fluid with the software decoder.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QX7KYU

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA

They all plugged in without issue, they were long enough that the bezel didn't get in the way, and it didn't seem like any of them would just fall out unless I jerked the tablet around a bunch. I'll test a keyboard/mouse next.

EDIT: USB keyboard and mouse both just worked by plugging in.
[Nexus 7 General] brj0007:
I read about some of the adapters from Amazon not working, the connector being too long, etc...

Anyway, Nokia is the only WP device manufacturer I like but their design is worth to be redesigned to a new modern and elegant type of design. They don't look bad, but they don't look as good as many other devices.

Thats why I created this mockup.

I've kept my eye on search on both XDA (i've searched my ass off) and Google - I can't find ANY intel on when GS is said to get their shipments.

The few people that got theirs from GS don't provide much info.

Is gamestop supposed to get a shipment soon, or am I DEFINITELY waiting til September 30th? (I *really* want to withdraw the $100 I put on it, and just buy it somewhere that has it, but I am getting a lot from trade-ins)

I ordered mine on the 22nd, and whenever I call in they have *no* idea what's going on with them.

Anyone know? O-o

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
I got mine at Gamestop on a walk-in that Saturday after they went on the website as shipping in 1 day then they went backordered. When I went in guy said he didn't even think his store would get one because nobody preordered it and they weren't expecting anything til August at the soonest. Now I heard September as well when I stopped in the other day thats pretty crazy

If you are like me and have tried 10 different ICS ROMS and WIFI was not working, then this is for you!

(To be clear, when you turn on wifi, it will not show any access points, when you know there are some around you)

When you turn on your phone it checks the region code from your SIM card and adjusts your wifi settings based on that. Well apparently some regions do not have the correct settings and that basically disables your wifi. For me SIM cards from Afghanistan and Qatar have that effect. A simple test is to put in US SIM and test if wifi works after that (worked for me). Possibly just removing your SIM might work too. But once I switched back, wifi no longer worked.... Sooooo thank Ealireza for creating a script that will modify a database and allow you to use any region SIM and use wifi.

The solution is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1403801

Edit- Simpler solution here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445766

Basically you will need to install Script Manager and SQLLite3, if you dont have a file browser you may need to push one using ADB. Also when running the script be sure to run it as root and you are just looking for exit code 0. Then the wifi and you should be good to go. Good luck!!!
[LG Optimus 3D] L3viathan2142:
Hi everyone,

that's my phone:

-LG Optimus 3D P920

-German carrier "BASE"

-no external SD card (so nothing I could take out and put in a computer)

here's what I did:

-Installed ROM Manager

-put CyanogenMod 7.2.0 rom on my phone's internal SD card

-patched to CyanogenMod, ended up in Bootloop

-In Recovery Mode, wiped everything and patched again (Error message: "error mounting /sdcard/android.secure")

here's the current situation:

-Phone boots correctly, displays status message "Preparing SD card" in the statusbar for a moment

-doesn't ask me for PIN; no phone-network-related things work (can't search for carriers, will take forever)

-Wifi works

-While previously everything worked just fine without an external SD card (the phone is equipped with 8GB internal storage), now it tells me to insert one whenever I open the Music or Gallery app, etc. (Gallery app will display "SD card unmounted or not present")

-Standard Google Apps missing, but it seems like this is not a related problem and there's a common fix, once I'm able to install apps (won't allow it because of no SD card)

-Content of the internal storage was appearantly untouched by the wiping; if I open the file manager and head to /mnt/emmc I still see everything, including music, photos, etc. (and the CM rom)

-ADB works, I can use the adp shell from my computer.

-catlog is attached

Did I forget anything?

I tried to find an answer in the forum or other parts of the web, but none of the solutions - if there were any - fit my problem. Some users seemed to have similar problems, though.

I'd be thankful if you could try to find a solution for me.
