[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tgmorris:
I feel really dumb for having to ask this but I've got exDialer installed and originally used it on my gnex w/o any issues. On the S3 when making a call it works fine. However, based on the color of the display, incoming calls seem to be handled by the stock phone handler. On the gnex I'm pretty sure that it defaulted to exDialer for both incoming and outgoing calls.

It's probably something really stupid on my part but is there a setting I've overlooked? Neither app has any defaults set based on settings under Manage Apps.

Not sure if it matters but I'm rooted and on the stock rom. Also using Nova as the launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tgmorris:
Alright. I used Default App Manager to set the default phone app and verified it with the app manager but incoming calls still use what's supplied with the phone instead of exDialer.

Anybody have other suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netant:
i too want to know .. how to set exDialer to handle incoming calls
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Maybe try freezing stock Dialer using Tibu? Careful doing this tho. Make sure you unfreeze it if you don't receive any calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netant:
afik, you cant remove the stock dialer, i guess this app don't have the feature of handle incoming call,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Of course you can. In tibu it's called stock dialer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Ex dialer probably relies on the system dialer to work, freezing it would likely break call functionality. I don't think ex dialer is able to receive calls.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wh1t3Rose:
Here's an idea go to settings/Apps. Goto exdialer. Clear defaults. Next time you make a call it should ask you if you want to use exdialer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netant:
exactly the same thing i have seen somewhere in the exdialer thread.

i have tried this method, didn't worked :(

i guess the best way is to look for a alternate Caller ID which replace stock thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iwalkthrowwalls:
Does anyone else have this problem? My camera button gets jammed inwards a little bit. I can always get it back out, but it is very annoying when you are trying to take pictures. I have it in burst mode and it will take twenty pictures. Thank goodness for best shot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Meanee:
Same here. It's actually kinda stuck inside now. Sprint said they need to replace the phone, but I do not want to do it to keep my nice hackable hboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iwalkthrowwalls:
Yea. I do not want a replacement phone. I just want a fixed phone. I'm kind of hoping it will fix itself after being worn down a bit. We'll see. It's such an annoyance though. Good luck with yours.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
In the accessory section there is a website that you can by parts for replacement if I remember correctly the camera button was cheap

[LG Optimus 4X HD] ksekhar:
I own LG 2X and one thing i hated really the most is the camera takes really dark pictures in semi lit room. It is not just because room is dark as I compared the pictures taken with SGS2 and Xperia Neo. Can someone please confirm if the similar problem exists with LG 4X? I want to get this phone but this is the only thing stopping me. Appreciate if you can post pics taken in semi lit room. Thanks.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] puh diamond:
I feel like this the camera too dark
[LG Optimus 4X HD] ksekhar:
Thanks Diamond. LG 4x has BSI sensor and thought it would take good pictures in the low light conditions. I guess i am wrong.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton6666:
I have a strange problem after flashing Omega rom. After a couple of days the phone started rebooting.

When entering CWM only a few things work. If I try to Wipe or flash another rom the phone reboots.

If I enter download mode Odin fails when trying after NAND write. I have also tried 2 different 3 part firmwares and different PITs, then it fails on repartitioning.

I can boot into Android but I have to disable wifi and mobile data otherwise the phone reboots after a couple of seconds. If I disable them the phone can work like normal, I have tried a couple of games for example. But it is very unstable. One time I can play a game for 15-20 mins then reboot next time the phone can reboot as I try to start the same game.

I can connect the phone to the computer and it shows but I can not read/write to the phone.

I have tried different USB cables and three different computers + different versions of odin. But always same result.

Does anyone know what the heck is going on?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Net.silb:
Very odd, It is obviously not bricked since you are booting properly into android but it sounds like some part of the internal SD is corrupt.

I am very not experienced in this but I believe that if a customized pit file is made to not use the corrupt area in the internal SD that might do the trick!

Another option would be jtag...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton6666:
Ok, so there is no way to "fix" the corrupted area on the sdcard?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globalm:
I'm no expert but I believe if you flash a stock ROM using a standard PIT file you might be able to recover.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton6666:
Well I have tried alot of rom's and none work. And the only pit´s that I have found is the one with 5 pit files. But I cant get any of them to work either.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
why in Gods name you tried the repartitioning in the first place. you never repartition a working phone. this is how things break.

the second you check repartition you must have your fingers crossed that something does not go wrong. in your case it did.

you should have had just to flash original FW after omega failed without repartitioning. you need a jtag probably to re-write partitions correctly.

is your imei and baseband shown?

maybe have a look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1731255
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burton6666:
Well I did not try repartition in the first case, I tried it after everything else failed. But not even repartition worked, I got/get a fail rightaway. And flashing stock rom was the first thing I tried after the phone started rebooting. But neither CWM or Download-mode seams to work correctly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
So you no longer have CWM Recovery or download mode ???

Small chance in that case a USB jig may enable you to boot to download mode .

Next step would be a JTag repair (cheaper than a service repair ).

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
alright. which Odin are you using? try using 1.84/5. also remove kies completly from your PC or try a PC Kies-free.

this is the last and a more hopeless chance of recovering. then you go for jtag

report back. after tryin both 1 file tar and 3 file tars in case the first try fails.

Is this why you need to fry the phone or are you writing a book lol?

[HTC Inspire 4G] kettir:
I've got some videos downloaded from Youtube that I'd like to play on my Inspire, but the audio is behind the video. I've tried QQ Player and Vplayer. I know the Inspire isn't the fastest processor out there, but I'm hoping to find something that will use everything the Inspire has to give me the best synch of video and audio I can get. Thanks for any suggestions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] carlosirai:
Wich Rom are you using? I use args 6.3.3 and stock player works fine check if it isn't a bug of your rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] kettir:
I'm using Rumrunner 4. I did load up Moboplayer and it does better than Vplayer and QQ Player.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gsminhas:
I will recommend MXplayer

It's the best I have ever seen
[HTC Inspire 4G] Meurdar:
What would you recommend for ICS roms? Thanks in advance
[HTC Inspire 4G] gsminhas:
Mx player works everywhere
[HTC Inspire 4G] imparatore:
+1. Even 720p videos works nicely with MX Player.
[HTC Inspire 4G] htcinspire78:
I am using Blackout ICS with sense 3.6 and many other ROMs, and MX player has always worked flawlessly. I have been able to play a 3gb 720p .mkv file with no issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] xxdetourxx:
Agreed,I use MX Player on all of my devices
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dcns:
Is anyone experiencing issues with the Bluetooth? In one of my cars, audio streaming via BT is useless. It constantly drops in & out. Phone is useless as well via BT. In my other car, audio streaming is decent ( only drops in & out every 10 min or so) but phone quality still blows!

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

New android user here, so far this is what I'm finding essential:

1. QuickPic (better Gallery viewer than stock)

2. TuneIn Radio (best online radio streaming I found so far, with local channel support etc)

3. Twicca (best twitter app I have used on Android. I'm patiently waiting for TweetBot to come over to Android)

4. MX Player (best video player I've used so far)

5. Barcode Scanner (reads pretty much every bar code and great QR code reader)

6. FoxFi (free tethering)

7. Cerberus (security app)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] noy-z:
I have a couple of less popular apps that are essential to my phone.

- Image 2 Wallpaper: best wallpaper setter imho. Allows you to keeps an images dimensions and if your launcher supports it, scroll the image as well.

- Bounce (Be On Time): recent versions have been sucking but this nifty little app would analyze traffic data and distance to tell you when to leave for your next appointment

- Stopwatch and Timer+: the only app that I've found on ICS that keeps a visible timer running in your notification bar. I use this in conjunction with Bounce and I don't have to unlock my phone to see when I need to leave.

- MarketMarks: for those times when you see an interesting app but don't really feel like downloading it right then and there. Basically a book marker of apps which also keeps you updated with app updates for those apps that you don't have installed because you've been waiting forever for an update (i.e. LauncherPro)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] muddflap:
Emit: stream my video library from my computer to my phone.

Automateit: I primarily use this to automate what my phone does when it connects to different bluetooth hosts. However it can automate other things such as texting some one at a certain time and date as one example.

Amazon app store: 1 free app a day from Amazon. You have to install from amazon directly.

Nova launcher: just my preference over stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoryuken_2020:
I forgot to put:

- SwiftKey 3

- Set DNS

- FlightTrack

- BetterBattery Stats

- Dropsync

These are all Apps I find essential on my phone. I use them very regularly, if not on a daily basis.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
I'll try not to repeat any apps that have already been mentioned, but here's the core apps that I always reinstall (in addition to google's gapps):

Primary Apps:

TiBu -- obligatory

Swype -- best keyboard

Chrome -- best browser

Google Voice -- for voicemail only

AdAway -- OpenSource; better than AdFree.

SMS Backup+ -- Automatically backs up your SMS, MMS, and Call log to folders in your GMail account every couple hours. And instead of restoring it all to your phone (which you can, except for MMS), bogging it down, just check gmail instead.

QuickPic -- The fastest gallery app

Remote for VLC -- I use this to control the kids' laptop running VLC (play/pause, volume, playlists, etc).

adbWireless -- my phone charges twice as fast on the 1amp A/C charger VS the 0.5 computer USB, so, adb over wireless is invaluable (and the adb over network option in CM10 isn't working yet anyway)

XDA -- I always go straight to the "Participated" threads tab; wish it did that automatically.

Beautiful Widgets -- best looking homescreen clock & weather with temperature in notification bar

ConnectBot -- so I can SSH into my various linux servers, and into my linux desktop (mainly to grep my encrypted username/password lists... I need to switch to lastpass or somethign one of these days...)

ChargeBright -- This is my own app that I use to automatically set display timeout & brightness to 100% when charging, and revert to auto when on battery. I use this rather than Tasker, because I don't need any of Tasker's other bloat.

Media:

DicePlayer -- DicePlayer has been my favorite video player for a long time now, mainly because it's the only one that can directly play video off of Windoze networks shares (CifsManager app mounting not needed), but, ... DicePlayer was recently forced to gimp their app because of patent/licensing threats, so I think I'm liking MX Player better now. In transition atm.

Games:

Wordfeud -- challenge "zcat" to a game! :)

Live Hold'em Poker Pro

iMobsters, WorldWar, ...

And... that's it. The core apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spiderjerusalem:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vegandroid:
lots of good stuff. I use ad free and now im installing adaway to see the difference. im also using nova instead of stock, but im running cm10 and it just that much better.

anyone know of a good task manager... not a task killer but something thatll clear up my memory with a one button click. im using speed boost at the moment but it doesnt look like its really managing my tasks when i ask it to kill some.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Pocket: great way to "bookmark" sites and probably the most popular "read it later" app (PC, iOS, Flipboard, Dolphin, etc. all support it)

Any.Do: Clean and simple to-do app; wish it had desktop support besides Chrome, though (and, on missed calls, can set up auto-task if you want)

OpenMBTA: if you use public transit in Boston, you need this.

Yelp: what the yellow pages should've been: any sort of business or location with reviews + tips + great search filters (open now, distance, price, etc.)...and has a "monocle mode": basically virtual reality overlay of businesses by pointing your phone in a direction

Google Goggles: QR + Barcode + life scanner (seriously...scan anything and it finds relevant info about)

SoundHound: comes with a great 1x1 widget that, when tapped, starts immediately recording/identifying playing song

DialerEx: beautiful, beautiful Dialer that opens to keypad instantly. I use the Black ICS theme. Also, can rotate.

Boat Browser: only modern browser that supports automatic text reflow in regular browsing (thus better than Dolphin, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, ICS+, etc.)

XDA: duh. :D

SleepBot: great app to track your sleep and sleep debt.

Visual Voicemail for AT&T: nice app that works like it should

Llama: great free version of Tasker that uses cell towers instead of GPS (pros and cons to that, tho)

Onavo Count/Extend: track data usage and automatically compresses everything (great data saver)

Flipboard: simple to use and beautiful news app

Fontomizer: use new fonts, free, no root, a decent selection, too! :)

Lemon.com: track your receipts, take pics, auto-OCR and organize: legggit

Lux: adjust brightness, go "below" 0%, make your own auto-adjust tables, persistent notification is next-best to toggle to change

SyncMyPix: free FB-photo syncer...can do "fuzzy" contacts (last name or first name slightly different)
