Thank you! A colleague almost totally messed up his i9100 while trying to flash something and I was desperately trying to find the right .PIT to fix it, you saved me a lot of hassle! :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
So everybody is flashing pit files now?

Oh boy...

Sent from...this is not even my S2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergiu84:
Absolutely not - I only did it because the owner had completely messed up a previous update, and the usual .md5 flash was refusing to work (always getting stuck on hidden.img). Other than that, I avoid doing anything riskier than a KIES update if I can help it! :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marylex@29:
wow that was a great news, but so you know i dont use any pit file for flashing my S2 because that what says by one of the devs here, no pit file required for galaxy s2 I9100 and i flashed it so many times on stock rom using odin 3.04 version.... i tried flashing my friends S2 as well without using pit file.... i didnt get any problems....

One of the reasons I rooted my phone was so I can delete my stock browser's default bookmarks. But unfortunately it won't still allow me to delete 'em. Is there a way to delete them?

TIA!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] hauniii:
In the market there is an app named MyBookmarks. This will give you the ability to delete the pre loaded bookmarks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dave2metz:
You don't need any apps from the market to delete those bookmarks. Just go to applications - browser - clear data. Open your browser and go to bookmarks. Long press on bookmark and choose delete. I learned this a few months ago, very useful. Hope this helps you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] karipay:
This worked! Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ickster:
Awesome tip!

You've known this for months and you didn't tell ME? LOL!

Great tip, it works!!! I hated those damn things.

However I'm easily confused LOL...... so to clarify.....

Settings > Application manager > All > Internet > Clear Data

Then go to the bookmark page and long press and delete! Yay!

This is gonna clear your favorites and homepage, a small price to pay.

Just got the SGS3 (which by the way is the GREATEST PHONE EVER MADE!!! If God or Allah or Buda or whatever higher up, power that be owned a phone... It would be this one. LOL) OK, back on track now. So I'm coming from an HTC phone and I have a TON of bookmarks stored on my browser that I want to transfer over to my new phone. My question is, where can I find my browsers bookmarks using file explorer so that I can zip it up in a file to send to my phones browser? Or is there a better, easier way to do this??

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forest1971:
Use odin to flash a stock GB rom from Dr.ketan thread (link in his signature).

If it stuck in factoryfs.img or datafs.img then have a superbrick Note.

In that case only a new mother board or repartition method below can help:

So its been a full week of testing this battery on my infuse and no lie its amazing. It last about 2x the original battery with full usage. Use as in playing game for 1hour and 30 mins= average 13% drain. Use of Facebook,YouTube, and generally anything that uses the web for about a good 6 hours(not in use every min) average 27% drain. Then next day still have a good amount to last me through the day. First day around 55-65% and second 49-2 or dead. Its really nice, infuse not as heavy(pretty much same weight). Case fit perfect, durable and nice feel to it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] unknown25:
itz damn costly in india...

it costs me rs1500 i.e around $26..
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
Where did you get the battery?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Thanks for sharing your experience

You're talking about the replacement back cover, right?

But as far as I understand, there is no protective outer case (extra protection against dropping etc) suitable for use with the extended battery, right?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Yoshiikim:
right theres no other protection but i been using it for a while and havent dropped it
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Yoshiikim:
amazon
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Just pick up 3500 mAh... I love the extra time but I already miss my bodyglove case. Tried to modify a cheap rubber case, didn't want to ruin the bodyglove, but that didn't work out too well. Any cases out there for the bigger back?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] unknown25:
I bought a 3000mah Power bank instead. So now I can use my body case too without any problems....
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
I will check it out. Where did you get it?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] unknown25:
Ebay.

Just search for "power bank" .

Buy according to ur requirements.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] electricpete1:
Something like this?

http://www.amazon.com/Green-Externa...347898124&sr=8-9&keywords=3000+mah+power+bank

Looks pretty good, only $17.25

Assuming you want to carry something extra around, I guess there are two possibilities:

Option 1 - carry spare battery (charged to something like 80%... avoid 100% to extend battery life)

Disadvantage: Have to open up phone (always possibility to contaminate) to replace battery, possibly daily if that's your pattern. Might confuse your battery monitoring widget program and possibly the built-in battery %-remaining feature.

Advantages: In the time it takes to swap battery and boot back up, you're done.

Option 2 - carry a power bank which can charge your battery in a few hours.

Disadvantage - takes a few hours plugged in to get back. Doesn't really have much way to know how much juice is left other than LED when fully charged

Advantage - don't have to open up phone or reboot.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Thanks for the info. Since I did spend some money (a whole $8 on my 3500 mAh), I will try to get use to it rather than switching. Hopefully, someone comes up with a case.

However, that is an excellent idea with the battery power back up for when we lose power (happens more than I would like). Keeping one of them around would have some advanatages.

Edit: cheap ebay 3500 mAh is now draining faster than my regular battery. Might not need to worry about the case...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] stingdude:
Hows the battery doing 5 days later?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
I experienced a drain on the 3500 and the 1750 stock battery for several days. I had to switch ROM builds but didn't put the other battery back until last night. Right now it is plugged in so I will report back in a day or two.

Edit. Using it two days now and it drains as fast as the 1750. Will give it one more day then back to OEM and Bodyglove case.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Battery lasted one day running really well and the next day (after recharge) drained twice as fast. Went back to standard battery and am using this as a back up now. Very disappointed in the quality.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MrBooMY:
I tried one of these when I had a captivate and had the same issue. First charge was great but it got to where it lasted the same as the original battery. You have to go Anker or Mugen for descent quality batteries.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
I might check it out. Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
I just got in my 3500mAh battery from the ebay seller known as battery gallery, and at 1213; I still have 80% of my battery left, and I unplugged it from the charger at 0800 I consider this pretty impressive, but it's only day 1 of using the battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
I wish you better luck then I had. First day was good, second day okay, third day someone pulled the plug on the drain. Drop very fast. Of course I could have just gotten a bad battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Vishoka:
Works like a charm

I picked it up from Amazon, and needless to say the battery works like a charm.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
At the end of yesterday when I plugged in my phone at 1930, the battery still had 64% charge remaining. (Compared to the stock battery which normally dies by that time). That's rather impressive in my opinion. :) On day 2, I also unplugged at 0800. I will let you know how it runs later.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
At 1233, my battery is at 79% life left, and I've been using it like I normally would use my phone. So far, so good. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] unknown25:
The new battery is good but it feels very bulky when u hold the phone..

I like the old slim and slick infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
Time is 2018, and I just plugged in the phone to charge. I still have 68% of battery life left, (so theroetically, I wouldn't need to even charge tonight if I didn't want to). I'm impressed so far. :)

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

I actually prefer the way it feels in my hand compared to the stock infuse. It gives it enough bulk to fit comfortably in your hand, but not too much that it feels like you're hefting a brick up to your head to talk on it. Of course, your talking to a man that grew up using a wall mounted phone). I actually prefer some weight to my phone, so it doesn't feel like I'm holding a cheap child's toy.

I too like the feel of the bigger size. What I didn't like was how slippery the new back cover was. So I bought some liquid electrical tape and painted the new back cover. Makes it a little bit easier to hold.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Liquid electrical tape...interesting. It is a shame there are not any bodyglove-like cases that fit the extended battery. I agree with the larger feel and the slipperieness of the metal back. I tried to mod an older case but it didn't work very well. I have to the liquid electrical tape now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Rawlster93:
I also got one for my Samsung infuse it worked perfectly until the day I rooted my phone which was 3weeks after I received the battery. It lasted me a good day with heavy usage. Now that my phone is rooted it doesn't last as long.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Take the cover off of the back before using the liquid tape. That way it won't seal it to your phone.

Someone else on here put a few cuts down the side of their Body Glove to allow it to stretch.

That's what I plan on doing too. But I'll lay a piece of cloth in there with the phone and then spread some of the liquid tape on the outside to kind of seal it up.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Tried slits in a case, not the better bodyglove, but it didn't work well. The L.E.T. might have fixed that. And definitely taking the cover off when applying it.

Do you have access control enabled for wifi tether?if so you need to go to access control and check the box to allow traffic through a certain device when its connected.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zmag:
Firefox is a browser, not a tethering app. So I can see why "you had no luck."

(From foxfi.com): *Sprint has removed FoxFi from Play Store. Sprint users must install/upgrade FoxFi from http://foxfi.com/bin instead.

FoxFi works great on my LTEvo, and it works with or without root; for many, many users I might add.

Hey guys

Starting my sophomore year at college soon and need some help with a new go to app to help me plan and schedule my courses. I am coming from years in the Apple ecosystem and use IStudiezPro on my iPhone 4s, IPad, and MacBook. But I have made the switch to a Samsung galaxy s3 and a Nexus 7 (and haven't looked back). But now I'm having trouble finding a substitution for IStudiezPro.

What I'm looking for is something that:

Looks good

Is intuitive

Can sync between my three devices automatically

Can take my class info, times, schedule, room numbers, teachers, ect ect.

Manage all my homework

Schedule test and exams

In general a app that can totally handle all my planning and making everything for school.

The only app I've found that looks good is studious but has no sync options. Any other suggestions, even if it's a paid app that is fine as long as it works how I need it.

Also class buddy looks good but also no sync option :( Are these my two best options? Is there no way to have them sync?

Thanks a lot,

Alex

[General Questions and Answers] Michael Kohan:
Use Evernote!!
[General Questions and Answers] klamboi:
I think a few options could be using the default calendar on your phone/tablet would work pretty well with scheduling for exams or hw assignments. It is possible to sync with your google account so Gmail etc. You can also type it in your Google Calendar and it will sync to your phone.

Another option is using Color Notes app. I love this app. It's free and you can write memos/notes and categorize them in different colors. Also you can make a to do list for shopping or even school assignments. You can also sync this with your Facebook, Google Account, or even a different Email I believe. I am looking at the sync options right now...Best part is it's free =]

Evernote like the user above me posted seems pretty neat also, but I haven't tried it. I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying android and I wish you the best of luck with school on your new devices! I'm very jealous also lol but I'm willing to help if you have any questions. PM me and I'll try to help you out with whatever you need.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the legal system in Europe where the UK courts agree to allow the 7.7 to be sold and it is over-ruled by a German court which bans it throughout Europe.What do retailers in the UK do now, will they follow the UK or German Court? It is still being sold by Amazon UK.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] honestabe:
The radio version must match the firmware version. Once they match it will update. At least that's what I did to resolve the code. YMMV. But what you posted might work but is a lot of work to manually update. Try to Flash lg2 radio if you are on lg2 then flash stock recovery and flash the file that you renamed update.zip from the root of your sdcard
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tech7:
Or just flash the lg2 to lg8 update zip with custom recovery and before u reboot flash the team win root zip file then reboot and done full update and still keep root and custom recovery

I'm getting this Status 7 error as well. Tried to update my radios to see if that would work, it didn't. I'm going to try this longer solution now, hopefully this works. Nothing seems to fix it right now and I have no idea as to why it is doing this. Getting the error

E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] itsall_cooool:
After getting as frustrated as the rest with the (status 7) Installation error when following the video posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KeZx65twLk&noredirect=1 , I found the simple solution.

I was on ver. LEN and found that simply running the 'update.zip' will NOT work, will cause the above error. You must follow the first part of the video to restore 'stock recovery'. After phone restarts, go to menu>system>application manager>All>, scroll down to 'google services framework', click, then select 'clear data'. Exit out, then go to menu>system>system update>update samsung software and check for update. When the update is found, install as instructed.

The OTA update is a two-step process which first updates you from LEN to LG2, then proceeds to update to LG8. You cannot update from LEN to LG8 directly, that is what causes the error.

You may now root your device again.

hi guys ! today i will share how to connect your android to your pc network..

tools you need :-

connectify (free + paid) this is all you need :)

ok so lets get started first open connectify and set your wifi username and password

then click on start hotsport .

then just connect your android to that hotsport and done :) easy

remember : by connecting connectify hotsport will disable any other wifi connection to your pc so you gonna need a cable connection to your pc to share your internet
