Cryptic. You may as well run down the street screaming..."Sony Ericsson logo!..Heeeellp Meeee!!.." It will be as much help to you as the thread you posted. :rolleyes:

You need to state what you did, what you used, what happened, before, after & during, more info the better. All i'm saying is help people help you. ;)

No need to be shy, a tonne of people brick phones everyday :laugh:

You probably tried something else. No way bricking comes from rooting. Just try reflashing the rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dglaboi:
This may be a stupid question but since I couldn't get it out of any post I've looked through I just asked it here...

As the title says, how many times can we flash our devices?? Is there a limit? I already have like 17 or 18 on my SGS2 and 3 on my SGS3. I know there's triangle away but is it a need to it (other than for warranty purposes)....(like maybe when it reaches a certain limit it XPLODES hahaha)...

Nah seriously, I just wanted to know if there's a limit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scsa20:
From what I can gather no there is not a limit, the flash counter is mainly there so if you didn't reset and took it in for whatever reason they can see how many times you've flashed a rom.

Some can correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't be the first time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shimp208:
Yup thats exactly right if people are really paranoid about their flash count then just use triangle away every time you flash something that trips the flash counter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] racer38:
I am sure there is a physical limit to the chip, but I doubt anyone would ever come close to reaching that... I believe the chips are a type of EEPROM and the write limit is like 1 million writes...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dglaboi:
Thank you for your replies.....I don't really need to reset my counter since there's no samsung service center in my country and all repairs will be done either by buying parts and do it myself or someone else.....There are other service centers but I would still have to pay for repairs so why bother resetting the counter. Software-wise I would do it myself (with the help of our own XDA forum ofcourse - this forum has been THE place to get ALL Android knowledge so I thank everyone for that)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dglaboi:
Ooops....I just realized, I'm in a wrong forum.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Taehee.:
What is the triangle away app? I googled it, but I'm still confused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shimp208:
The triangle away app by Chainfire resets your flash counter. Every time you flash stuff not based on official Samsung firmware your flash counter goes up and a yellow triangle appears. Basically if you brought your phone in for warranty or other problems Verizon would be able to tell you were using unofficial firmware and will likely deny your warranty claims saying its your fault the device doesn't function correctly because you used unofficial firmware. Triangle away allows you to get rid of the yellow warning triangle so Verizon will never be able to tell you we're using unofficial firmware and they should then honor your warranty. Hope this cleared some things up for you :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBiles:
Has anyone been able to do this? I'm using the previous version of Bean's ROM, but when I enter the dialer code to open the PhoneUtil menu, it just stays black then says "PhoneUtil has stopped." Is this a ROM specific problem or is there something I'm missing here?

Hey guys,

Still a bit noob concerning kernels so bear with me.

I am running CyanogenMod 9 on my AT&T SIII with their kernel. Would there be a lot of advantages to flash the KT747 kernel by Ktoonsez? Would it be faster?

If I flash this kernel, how do I go back to the CM9 kernel in case of problems?

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jasvncnt1:
Hi, I cant say it would have an advantage or be any faster or not because I haven't run CM9. I do use KT747 though. Only thing I can say is try it. If not you should be able to just flash your kernel back. Or just make a nandroid, which ya should do anyways
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
This thread is going to get closed pretty quick I'm sure. VS threads are not really cool to have and they all turn into personal opinion. You need to just try the kernels out for yourself and then decide. No one can give you an accurate answer for this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] t.square:
Ok thx.

Didn't actually think to use the nandroid when changing kernels. I use it before changing roms but didn't know it worked for kernels too, which should've been obvious.

How do you find KT747? Does the undervolting make a big difference on battery life and/or performance?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] t.square:
Sorry about that. I've just never tried a different kernel before and I was feeling a bit insecure.

2 options to revert kernel changes.

1. Nandroid before installing the kernel. Then only restore system when you want to revert. Its quicker than restoring everything.

2. Reflash the ROM zip. It will reinstall the system without erasing your personal data.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] t.square:
Ok, I'll try it. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] benburch9:
It's pretty absurd to say this. I understand that line of reasoning with ROMs, different roms do very different things, prioritize different ussage patterns, and apearl to different astetics.

Kernels are..... just Kernels. There are literaly only 3 metrics to judge a Kernel by:

1) Performance (how fast is stuff, this may or may not include overclocking).

2) Stability (self explanatory).

3) Battery life (also self explanatory).

There really isn't much subjective here. Some Kernels are just plain better than others. If one kernel is faster, and another has better battery life, then just say that. That's exactly the kind of thing that is helpful to all.

[Android Apps and Games] dragonfly1113:
Does anyone know of any apps out in the market/play store that have the ability to let people add to a playlist that you have playing in your house?

For instance i have a google tv and i would love to have an app that people can open up on their phones and send music they have on their phones to the google tv to add to the playlist, or id even be willing to setup my tablet via hdmi to the google tv if the app isnt google tv compliant. just want to have the ability to have people add songs to a playlist i have playing so they hear what they want,

i know xbmc has a way of doing it but it only scans music on the xbmc host and not what people have on their phones that they want to hear over the speakers.

thanks in advance, and i did try searching for something like this already and was unable to find anything spent the last 3 days searching the web.
[Android Apps and Games] dragonfly1113:
guess noone knows of any app that does this? found out grooveshark has collaboration now so that could work but any other app ideas would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] Stupifier:
I don't know of an all inclusive app that would do this.....but I imagine your solution would involve using a cloud service such as Dropbox. Just make a Dropbox folder that any of your friends can access. Whatever they add to it, will show up on your computer in the dropbox folder. Just have that folder be monitored by your music player.
[Android Apps and Games] dragonfly1113:

Saw this on ebay. For those of you who want to hold cards but don't don't want a bulky case, this seems like it could be a very good option.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SJM-Smartph...i9300-Card-Case-Money-Pouch-Red-/251119837785

It is made of lycra fiber so I can imagine it would hold several cards snuggly like in the pic. It even shows holding a mini liquor bottle.

Also, you could probably stick it to the back of the case of your choosing or just use it on a naked phone if you're into that. I'm thinking of sticking to the back of an extra battery cover for when I don't want to carry my wallet.

What do you Nexus users mean?

Sure, the 2X has better specs, but I want JB! And LG hasn't even released ICS yet.

I am trying to connect my phone to a device with the phone acting as the host (using the OTG USB cable).

Once connected, I have new entry "usb0" when I do ifconfig.

I assigned 192.168.3.100 to the phone and 192.168.3.99 to the device.

When I do a tcpdump, I saw that the arp request from the phone got to the device correctly, the device answered corrected but by the time it gets to the phone, it is no longer correct. I suspect that this is the problem within the u_ether driver/gadget.

When the device reply to the ARP request, tcpdump on the device gives:

2 0.000091 5a:65:6b:1b:de:37 62:18:d4:57:77:6c ARP 42 192.168.3.99 is at 5a:65:6b:1b:de:37

0020 62 18 d4 57 77 6c c0 a8 03 64 b..Wwl.. .d

Which is correct. However, tcpdump on the phone gives:

Frame 2: 28 bytes on wire (224 bits), 28 bytes captured (224 bits)

0010 03 63 62 18 d4 57 77 6c c0 a8 03 64 .cb..Wwl ...d

From the look of it, the section "62 18 d4 57 77 6c 5a 65 6b 1b de 37 08 06" is missing from the frame.

I suspected that I have to make changes to "drivers/usb/gadget/u_ether.c" and/or "drivers/net/usb/cdc_ether.c" but I am not so sure. Do you know where is the good place to start tackling this problem? I tried to put printk statements everywhere in those files but it proved fruitless.

I have tried to do "ethernet over usb" with a Windows machine (RNDIS) and that worked properly.

Thank you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonigal:
When the object on focus in camera is near, the camera does a pretty good job blurring the background, but only if the object is very near.

Other than that it won't blur almost anything.

Is there any way or application to control the amount of blur in autofocus?

An example of what I want to achieve is attached.

I don't expect it to be as accurate as that pic but somewhat like that.

Anyone can help?

EDIT: the flower below is a pic I've taken. It is blurred correctly because it is near., while the guy is a pic showing what I want to achieve. If I were to take that pic with my Galaxy Nexus It wouldn't blur the background.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
You won't acheive background defocus because of the lens used with the camera photosensor. It is geared for wide angle viewing because the general population takes photos that utilize this focal length. You would need a 50mm+ to get background defocus. With my 300mm set on macro I can completely blur out the background on my Alpha Nex - you will not acheive this with a 20-30mm lens.

hmm alright. thanks for the info :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MatAuc12:
What you refer to as "you want blur" is just that you would like the focal lenght to be very small, generally that is "unwanted" and a by product of focus on a specific "distance". If you can achieve a decent quality photo with the part you want focused clear, that should generally be enough for a camera phone. Because... its a camera phone.. theres a reason you have cameras with footlong lenses that are worth 2k$.

Ps, if you really want blur, photoshop can do that.

Check this app out! It's really cool and will allow you to do what you are trying to. The results won't be as great as a real camera, but good enough for what you want.

So my father-in-laws droidx has been freezing up, crashing and a wide array of other troubles. I was just curious what I could do to improve and stabilize it. Depending how hard the droidx is to root, I was thinking of just doing a factory reset, but if it would be relatively easy to root, what would be a good rom/kernel for stability and performance? I wouldn't need anything flashy or cutting-edge, just something that'll be durable and resilient for the foreseeable future.

First things first: fix phone then worry about roms root etc.

Do a full factory reset/wipe every thing.

Don't forget to save your info.

If you have a sd scard copy info onto your pc put back in phone and wipe as well.

This phone seems to be very sensitive to the sd card. Wiping it wail reformat it to phone spec.
