OK - So what error do you receive?

There's a pre-rooted GB ROM which you can run through PC Odin - I believe Dr. K links to it in his signature..

Hello

So I'm on this small forum, which I couldn't access when I'm not on home WiFi. It's very strange. At home I could connect no problem and the page loads instantly, but when on mobile network, it just doesn't load.

However recently the forum moved to a new domain. But now, I can't access the forum on my phone from WiFi. Other sites load instantly, but this one just sits doing nothing. I also tried connecting through Tapatalk, however it doesn't work. It just sits loading. I can access the forum fine from all computers and all other phones on the same WiFi network, and I haven't had the issue with ANY other site.

I am reluctant to post the forum's URL here due to how it's a small community which doesn't need to be flooded by traffic. If anyone really needs it for helping me, PM me.

So does anyone know what might be wrong?

Thanks.

Quick question do you have to have the dongle to use allshare cast on pc. I'm sure you probably do need if for a T.V but idk. If a dongle is not necessary via pc can someone give me some info on how to set it up. Any info would be appreciated thank you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Nope, the allshare cast feature only works with the dongle.

you must install 2 frameworks. First the "framework-res.apk" and then the "twframework-res.apk".. After that it recompiling should work

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seh6183:
I'm wanting to format my internal SD card and completely erase every single thing thats on it to start from scratch. I see in TWRP there is a section for partitioning SD. If I use this feature it should wipe my sd card and I can install a fresh rom right? What should I set the partion to? 2048? And use ext4?

I have a lot of junk on my sd that I no longer want and have been getting extremely annoying insufficient space errors when trying to install apps. I have a ton of space and am still getting errors. Just want to wipe it all, format the card correctly, and start over.

Please help I have tried seaching but nothing mentions TWRP or ext4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What you are suggesting is not supported on the GNex.

Reboot into fastboot and type:

fastboot erase userdata

Now everything is gone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mortenmhp:
I believe that option is for phones with an actual sd-card. On older phones with less storage for apps(less than 200 mb), a2sd scripts allowing you to place your apps on an ext-partition on the sd-card was very popular.

So in short it will make 2 partitions instead of 1 which you do not want on your gn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seh6183:
Ok well I went ahead and was messing around in TWRP and set a partition size to 2048. How can I wipe out that partion and everything on the card? What if I unmount the card from the settings menu and then format? Will that work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Fastboot erase userdata
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
You can't unmount the card because there is no card
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seh6183:
I'm terrified of fastboot for some reason lol

It says right there in settings, unmount sd.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
You should be more terrified of yourself trying partition options that aren't supported on the galaxy nexus.

Your original question has been answered twice by efrant.

Boot into the bootloader

Type fastboot erase userdata

Fastboot reboot.

Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Misplaced fear.

I don't think you understand. The GNex has no sdcard. "sdcard" on the GNex is just a folder in the userdata partition, so...

EDIT: Ninja'd by El Daddy. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seh6183:
Ok doing it now. Is this the same thing as doing a data/cache wipe through CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No. When you erase the userdata partition using fastboot, everything in that partition is gone, including all your apps and app data, as well as everything in /sdcard. If you wipe data in CWM, it wipes your apps and app data, but not /sdcard. (It is specifically set up that way to prevent you from losing your backups, etc. stored in /sdcard.)

No. It erases everything on the phone

when i find the movies in the files i drag it over but the 7 won't play the file :dunno:
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
What format are the movies? And did you download them from iTunes? It's possible that a.) they are an unsupported format, which depending on the format a 3rd party video player might be able to play them and/or b.)they have drm and can only be played by iTunes or an iTunes device like an iPad or Apple TV
[Nexus 7 General] prophet of doom:
.m4v format .... i downloaded them into iTunes from some blu rays that had the digital copy with them...i haven't put the movies on any tablet or phone but they play fine on the computer
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
Yeah, .m4v is not a supported format. There is an app on the Play Store called VPlayer that says it can play .m4v. Give it a try.
[Nexus 7 General] hhwong:

I had problems with VLC player last night. I put a TV show, .mkv on it, and it was definitely choppy at times and got color distortion at times.
[Nexus 7 General] sassafras_:
Those digital copies are usually loaded with DRM.

I mean, totally makes sense to copy protect a copy you're giving to someone who actually paid for the full version.

[Nexus 7 General] Mutnat:
Does this VLC link work for people? I got it installed, and it comes up, prompts me that it's beta and may cause my kittens to die a premature death, and then within 2 or 3 seconds promptly crashes/closes. I've tried several times and same result. Anyone got a fix?
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
VLC beta (more like alpha) doesn't work well for me at all either. I've had the best results with MX Player.
[Nexus 7 General] prophet of doom:
No go on that.....I've tried all the players for some reason its not working
[Nexus 7 General] gerrylum:
I'm pretty sure it's because of DRM issues.
[Nexus 7 General] dusty2422:
All the movies I backup on my MacBook are in .m4v format... I just change the file extension to .mp4 and all is good for playing on my phone and Windows pc's. If that doesn't work then it has to be DRM issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Horak:
Hey guys, I called Samsung US about my screen banding, and they said they will fix it for free. Do you think that they will actually fix my problem? I have good color, aside from a bit of blue noticeable on the top of the screen when the screen is all white. I just have horizontal boxes crossing the screen. They really aren't terrible, I'm a little anal about this stuff... Is it worth not having a phone for two weeks for them to fix it? Alo, will I have to un-root and lock the phone before I send it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artjef:
Their fix should work.

Depends on how anal you are.

yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Horak:
Just a question, do you think I should expect to see any sort of discoloration or banding on the repaired screen? Is that still an accepted part of these screens?

Haha, so I un-rooted my Nexus so that I could send it in for repair (I know, I'm a procrastinator...), and I just got it back today. Samsung sent it back to me unlocked! I find it funny. It saved me a step to root, haha.

Reclaim your Contacts !

Actually turned out simpler to do than i initially thought it would be.

Enables "Keep Locally" ( keep_local ) option for adding new contacts instead of forced google account.

Prevents google from deleting all you contacts when you remove your account

Disables google contact sync

The offending package comes with gapps if you got google that way.

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk you will find it in /system/app/ (need root file explorer to see it though)

You can make this fix in 3 ways, the first may not need root but i cant test as my phone is rooted.

In Settings>App find it in the list of all installed apps, click it, click disable. (please someone tell me if they can do this without root)

Use a root file explorer such as "Root Browser", navigate to /system/app/ backup the app .apk to your sdcard for example, then delete it.

You can also try clicking the app .apk in "Root Browser" and choose uninstall, but i could get this to work.

Thats it ! , no need to reboot. Enjoy

(to test it worked, just navigate to Settings>Accounts>(your google account) and you will see there is no longer the option to sync contacts)

:highfive:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jago25_98:
replacing it

What would be the thing to replace this with? It's important to have something as convenient as what we're replacing. You can export you contacts to a single .vcf file. This can then be bluetoothed over to your desktop, uploaded to a server or transferred by USB or sdcard but what we really want is something as convenient as Google Contacts which syncronises to a place/server that you control automatically and easily.

Not sure if there's an alternative app out there though for this?

There's Go Contacts, ContactMoney and alternative dialers but I don't think these have alternative sync methods.

I think I'd prefer something from the fDroid/homebrew/commandline way. Perhaps a SyncML solution, or just something that automates the process of exporting contacts, encrypting them with a basic password and uploading to dropbox or an email address.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haydent:
i was thinking the same thing, like ftp/sftp backup. it could be done pretty easily but i may not be the person to do it , i havent looked around though and suspect there may already be something already that could do this...

In f-droid you find funambol (syncML), LDAP Sync and aCal (CardDAV).

I don't use any of them (to lazy to set up a server) but with some effort you should be able to make contact-sync work for you.

hotmail/corporate sync :(

This worked fabulously till i decide to use a Hotmail account (with the stock email app), from that moment on the problem reappeared, just instead of trying to store the contacts in gmail, it now tries to store in Hotmail/corporate account!!!!

Has Google hired all the stupid developers that Microsoft fired??? Microsoft is becoming famous for it ability to consider their clients stupid and the attitude: when-know-what-you-want-better-than-you, now Google seems to be going with the same mentality!

Any idea how to stop this on the hotmail account?

p.s. my only workaround was to use the Hotmail app instead of the stock email app, unfortunately the Hotmail app (Microsoft, remember?) thinks i will never need to see any email older than 30 days?!?!?! WTF??? :(

I use MyPhoneExplorer - it syncs my local contacts to my Thunderbird and vice versa. It syncs calendar events too ... so eventually I've got a copy and it's all local. One thing it doesn't do is contacts photos, so I also use SuperBackup to make a copy on my SD card (this way I can get the pictures up quickly).

When contacts are in Thunderbird (I've created there an address book just for syncing the phone) I can re-arrange, edit, etc. and when syncing back the pictures are retained ... Then I do SuperBackup to have a copy of new phone book with pictures.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capmo:
This little app will do the trick:

play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.mylocalaccount

After you install it, go to Accounts and create one "MyLocalAccount". After that, all you have to do is to transfer your contacts from the Google account into the "Local contacts" account just created. You can do this with the built-in Export/Import contacts tool.

Hi, i want to reverse this topic :)

sync google accounts

It's been a while since I've been through this, but unfortunately I have a similar problem. My problem is "Google account" in accounts and sync. But I can only select google photos when I click on the sync mark. No selection box for contacts. How can I fix that?

The device has clone s3 and ics 4.0.4 on it. The gapps packages available for this release also do not work. It does not synchronize people in any case. I cleaned the data from the applications, I deleted Accounts.db and reinstalled it.

Finally, I found the following lines for Accounts.xml and added it, but still there is no positive situation. What else can I do? Thank you.

Syncable = "true"> <authority id = "3" account = ".." type = "com.google" authority = "com.android.contacts"

<PeriodicSync period = "86400" />

I just got my Galaxy S3. As usual, when I set up my main google account it defaulted to syncing my gmail contacts and calendar. I sync my contacts and calendar to an exchange server and don't want them synced to my google account.

On other devices I could go into the account settings, uncheck contacts and calendar, then go into the app manager and delete the data from contacts storage and calendar storage and they would all be gone.

When I did this on my S3, the contacts app still shows all my Google contacts. I can't figure out how to remove them.

Can anyone explain?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AlwaysNoob:
This should have taken care of the issue. Can you make sure that you go to settings > accounts > your google account and uncheck contacts and calendar sync FIRST and than go to settings > app > contacts and clear data. (Same for calendar)

Also, if you have Google+ (or facebook) installed, it could be syncing contacts too. Make sure you uncheck and clear all contacts.
