[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threepwood960:
Thanks, I forgot this important detail. But I have an old PC controller (Logitech), so I bought the USB-OTG adapter and I will try with it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Every controller has it's own layout, so it might not work at all or only through (commercial) Support apps like Joystick Center

(Remember that you cannot install your old driver on the phone)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threepwood960:
I have already the OTG-USB and it works perfectly with my Logitech RumblePad 2 (I had to search it in my storage room).

It moves thought the desktop and I can push the icons. But I tried two games:

- In Virtua tennis doesn't work the buttons

- In Asphalt 7 doesn't work the joysticks

Do you known if could I use an app as this one (it is of paid and I would like to be sure):

Hi so I have an htc amaze but the development is soooooo slow that i was wondering if its worth it for the slight downgrade to sensation? what should i expect if i make the switch?

[HTC Sensation] aznprodgy:
do a search, the question has been asked multiple times...
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Sensation all the way. I also had a Amaze, gave it back next day contiuned using my Sensation. The Sensation looks better, a lot more support.

The only difference between the Amaze and Sensation would be the 768MB vs 1GB ram, the camera, and the CPU clock differences which doesn't matter anymore because of the overclockable kernels that we have.
[HTC Sensation] rawrfische:
Sensation has decent development, but I would just wait for a worthwhile upgrade if I already had an Amaze.

SGS3 is good, but lack of future LTE support on T-Mo just turns me off. Hence waiting.
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
Where do you live and how fast is your downstream usually? In NYC, there's a big difference between the Sensation and one of the hspa+42 devices like the Amaze/OneS/SGS2/3.

Understand that the Sensation is only a hspa14 device. I see 2-4mbps down usually, seeing 6 or so if in rare areas, and 8-9 in jersey on the way to the airport.

I haven't personally owned a hspa+42 device yet but using them a few times, the lowest speed I've seen is about the fastest I've seen on the Sensation.

Unless you're somehow able to trade down and pocket $50 I wouldn't do it.

[HTC Sensation] mr.runaway:
Hi

GUYS , I've done everything , first the htcdev unlock then the s-off from controlbear

when I rebooted the phone it's either stuck in the fastboot and couldn't flash recovery it says "remote image error! bootmagic check fail"

and when I normally reboot it gets me to joupunutbear blank screen and stuck there

I tried to do this in the cmd

ControlBear.exe -r

but it says error format the sd normally in the pc

and I did that with to deferent sds and nothing happend

any help will be much appreciated :good:
[HTC Sensation] mr.runaway:
solved it by new firmware and flashing recovery from fastboot
[HTC Sensation] 9ja Droid boy:
What you should have done before gaining S-OFF with joupunt are': unlocking bootloader through htc dev, flashing clockworkmod, install supersu then you are good to go with no stress. It worked for me like that.
[Desire HD General] DubelBoom:
Hi!

A friend of mine have a Desire HD shipped with build 3.12.405.1.

Now, he want to use Jelly Bean rom, but he says he have bad speed and signal on WiFi and cellular network.

So, I wanted to do him ENG S-OFF with the one click tool, but he says in big red font that it won't work on devices shipped with GingerBread.

Last time I've flashed him a PD98IMG.zip through the bootloader, that included the wanted radio. The one we want now (12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M) isn't available as PD98IMG.zip, and we don't know what to do..

Please help.

Thanks!

I was wondering if you can change your nandriod back up name "IE" in es file explorer. my current back up file name is 1970-01-03.01.51.11, es file lets you change the file name, will that effect the nandroid in any way. it would be easyer to remember, stock, cm9, cm10, blue,ect.

Yes, you can.. Just remember no spaces in the name though :)

I always check the use compression setting in twrp. It has always worked for me and my first backup was about 1.2gb. I didn't have to many apps installed yet at that point though. I'm not sure how much space it actually saves but it should help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sspikey:
I have an odd problem,

I create a nandroid backup of my S3 on touchwiz. I want to restore it to check my LTE speeds on it but for some reason I cant seem to get that done.

When I place it in the folder /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/touchwiz (called the folder of the backup touchwiz)

doesnt show up in restore.

I just create a new restore to try and find where it reads it from and cant seem to find those when I go searching on phone in USB mode.

What am I doing wrong here?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wasteful:
Well I know this is gonna mostly be my first and last thread, sorry. But anyways onwards to the question is, is it still worth it to buy one? I've found that my local Koodo's Mobile (Canadian phone provider) is selling the Samsung Galaxy S2 X for $300 dollars off contract brand new. Which it is identical to the T-Mobile variant. I do realize that the phone itself is about a year old, and was again wondering is it still worth it to buy one, or wait until the next nexus phone or flagship phone instead?

My intent for the purchase would be honestly to get a gift for my mom, since she still on an old phone. She isn't too tech savvy, so she'll be using mostly Facebook, Skype, Youtube, Netflix on WiFi, being that the phone is so large, the pricing and all. If not would an iPhone be easier for her to use because of iOS?

TL;DR - $300 Samsung Galaxy S2X/T-Mobile Samsung S2, should I buy or not, or buy something simple like an iPhone for her to use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drzplaya1121:
Get her an iPhone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
I would say go for it! Development has been really great lately for our devices, we just got CM10 and CM9 is going strong!

300 brand spakin new is a steal. I got mine off craigslist for 270. I would easily fork over 30 more for a BRAND new phone.

You my friend just sinned -.- i pray for your soul :P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wasteful:
I think I might just get it, and if she doesn't like it I'll keep it for myself. Since her contract is about to end soon, so I'll just pay for an upgrade to whatever phone. I have been eyeing AOKP on my Nook Color, that I got in the states, but haven't full commitment and stayed with CM 7.2.

I have another question which is about the phone itself, which I know I shouldn't post, but. What is the recommend kernel and rom if I should even consider rooting it, which I do plan to if I purchase it. If its compatible with Sixaxis Controller, is it strong enough to emulate say something like a PS1 or a N64, is the toolkit the easiest way to root and last question I swear, does do I have to purchase a certain type of adapter for MHL or is it a universal thing?

EDIT: Because I plan to make it somewhat of a gaming hub where I can emulate my favorite classic games, and use it like a HTPC since XBMC is being released I believe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Aokp is fine running psx, haven't tried n64. Haven't tried sixaxis either. Actually any of the popular roms are fine.... This phone is pretty beastly. If anything you can stick to the provided kernel that flashes with the ROM or tdj maybe eugene? I'm not sure if he has updated his lately. Btw you should really flash a custom ROM if you give it to your mom because stock ics trend to be buggy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
As they guy said, buy her an iphone.. really androids aren't for old people.. unless you get the nexus which is a bit more user friendly (jellybean)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dmkjr:
As much as I cannot stand an iPhone, Apples BS,etc. The iPhone is definitely user friendly for basic functions. Apps that we have are free but an IPhone user isn't typically wanting to tether, NFC, or anything else we have as a feature.

I encourage you to buy one used. Maybe that way, you could not give direct profit to the already rediculous "patent thief".

Let us know what you decided.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Vzqsmooth56:
I'm not going to lie, I'm a deep android hard core fanboy lol but when my mom made her move to the smartphone world about 6 months ago I got her an iPhone because it's so dang easy to use. Lol but now she wants an s3 so she's probably going to sell the iPhone ha x)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
If you can get it for $300 off contract then buy 2 my friend.. Telus still sells it for double that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
As does T-Mobile. And about previous comment of iPhone being user friendly, android is even more user friendly. Yes d you're but going to hack the **** out of it then I recommend touch wiz miui.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wasteful:
Yeah I've notice the Chinese made MIUI,is similar to the iOS in someways. I think I'll buy the phone brand new for the sake of it, let her test it out replacing her regular phone for a few days, and if she likes the hardware and how the touchscreen works I'll install MIUI for her. If not, no point returning and I might as well keep it, install a rom which I like, and replace my Blackberry. Again like I said her contract is about 6 months away, they'll call her saying "3 Year Contract blah blah blah", which then I'll do the honors of paying for the upgrade myself.

And I do say, the price bought outright blows the iPhone out of the waters.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
That's an amazing price for a brand new hercules.. Not to mention it's still one of the best phones you can get.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] VoiD_Dweller:
You should be tarred and feathered for suggesting that

Just get her the SGS2 and be done with it, way better phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scottx .:
Get her something easy to use. I got my father a pantech crossover and he just couldn't get it. He was so good with his blackberry so I figured it would be easy. Wrong.

If you do get her an s2 make sure you set it up for her.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bizmarkie:
If your choices are the S2X and the iPhone, I would take the S2X. You're not gonna find a new iPhone for $300, and iPhones don't have expandable storage. If you want easy navigation try flashing MIUI like mentioned, or maybe JoyOS which is basically an IOS clone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] s1yfox:

Just got it on contract with TMobile. I looked at the s3, and couldn't really justify paying $130 more for the s3 than the s2.

Wow, right when I was about to buy it, the Galaxy Nexus comes out for $300 dollars outright at Mobilicity another Canadian phone provider! I'm so conflicted now, okay well, I need you guys to be unbiased and help me choose the better phone deal. I do realize you guys have given me some insight on the Samsung, but damn.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joshuoner:
Hmm not really...

Same CPU clock speed does not mean same performance. Galaxy s3's processor is way better (even if it's not the quad exynos).

Larger (and HD) display.

2 GB RAM.

Better camera (again, same number of megapixels doesn't mean same quality.)

I'm happy with my S2 but I have to recognize they're different phones and the S3 is better :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] N31N:
cant you order a nexus straight from google in the event that you opt that way anyway?

I got my mom into smartphones with an iPhone: everything is clearly labeled, theres no hidden icons, the buttons are relatively large.

Fastfoward a few years: Mytouch4g on CM7, and then a stock G2x.

the miui roms ive seen for the 989 are mediocre at best and still have bugs that have been solved for months now; Stability should be your primary concern when shopping Androids for others. Your mom isnt gonna know how to troubleshoot as effectively as a frequent XDA visitor, and as far as she'll be concerned its just the phone being silly.

When I was still a sales rep, I introduced a lot of older customers to smartphones with WP7 for similar reasons to the iPhone's. It's even more spartan, high contrast/huge buttons, and is a great litmus test for their future smartphone needs. Talk, text, pictures, netflix, youtube, facebook, maps out the box with minimal set up and time investment.

So if i had to say whats best for parents: Nokia lumia 900, whatever large screen htc WP7 are out there or iPhone, followed by Galaxy Nexus because theres no fumbling with carrier updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] icehust:
I think so, the roms are more and more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wasteful:
Canadians don't get to order from Google's playstore, so we can't get the Galaxy Nexus for $375. I've heard people trying using Tunnelbear and other vpn/vps to try and ship it an American location, where they'll pick it up, but it requires you to have an American billing address. SOL, I'll try to see if there is any catch to the Galaxy nexus, if not I'm going with that one instead.

Free Press Consumer group has won in count against VZW with the tethering apps. I wrote Free Press a email about VZW locking the bootloader on Android phones. They told me that only a few have reported to them about this. I asked if VZW consumers were to complain about locked phones, what would happen?

1. There would need to be enough complaints about this first. (if people complained about the tethering apps so can we)

2. You would need to email and/or write to them about why we want the phones unlocked.

3. It takes time, but this would help us with any new phone coming out to VZW.

4. Yes we have a case and if VZW keeps buying new C-block spectrum, it helps us with the FCC.

5. It would help if we have large groups behind us like XDA, Android Life, Droid Life, Android Police, ect ect ect.

So start writing and complaining about VZW locking our phones.........
