[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Started beta testing today. Their forum isn't up yet so there's no way to report comments/issues officially other than emailing them which I don't think will be their preferred method moving forward.

Expected limited widget support at the start given that the intent of the beta is to flush out fundamental bugs first and there are some for sure. Rotating the device while the app tray is up for example results in corrupted screen. My laggy Verizon Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Honeycomb runs Chameleon faster than my Nexus 7 tablet does. On the Nexus 7 I'm unable to get the home button to bring back Chameleon. Etc.

Feature wise there's a long way to go too other than the obvious need for more widgets that will eventually come upon the release of their widget API. My laundry list of feature requests is growing including:

- Add ability to use custom wallpapers (ommited on purpose obviously to focus beta testing around main program and widgets)

- Add option to hide tile titles

- Email widget should display all messages, not just unread ones (if you read all your mail you're left with an empty widget with a humorous email ninja reference)

- RSS widget should display images too

- Weather widget should bring up weather animation or some form of forecast upon tapping it

- Buttons to left and right of the bottom dock waste too much space

- Bottom dock icons too large, margins should be adjusted to make bar thinner

- Gesture support sorely needed

- Should allow dedication of some tiles to the placement of application shortcuts, not just the dock

In terms of widget development hopefully at the very least they include in the final widgets for all of the stock google services like Youtube, Calendar, Drive, and Reader.

Hello to all!

So I was writing an updater-script and for some reason after flashing nothing seems to actually happened... I don't get any errors but when I reboot I don't see my changes reflected. The phone I am using is a Motorola Atrix 2 on 4.0.4. Thanks for any help!!

Here's the script:

ui_print("Google Now Remover by Farshad525hou");
ui_print("Mounting System");

Hi,

I have Nokia-505 bluetooth headset with NFC capability.

When I try to connect my S3 with this, it detects the handset and a message is displayed:

"NEW TAG COLLECTED

application/vnd.bluetooth.ep.oob"

I dont know what to do with it. It is not connecting to bluetooth.

Normally if i am connecting using normal bluetooth pairing, it is working fine.

I am on custom rom Omega v11-XXBLG8
[HTC Sensation] Neglecto:
I have an htc sensation, H boot 1.27 s-off, pyramid something i think...anyways. i rooted the phone and installed ICS and had 1.18 and s-off. My friend borrowed it for one day. (kinda stole it but whatever) and it came back totally cracked and dead as hell.

I finally jump started the battery so to speak with my Samsung infuse extra battery charger, some solder braid, electrical tape, and a Popsicle stick. The phone works 100% when i connect it to my tv's hdmi port with the HDMI adaptor box that came with my infuse. Digitizer is cracked to holy hell but still works 100%. The LCD show no life at all. Black as night. but again connected to the TV via HDMI i can use the phone while looking at the tv for a display. (sorry for the huge run on thought).

My question is, would a new LCD from ebay or another source (recommend any?) remedy this little problem? or is it a hardware other then the lcd's fault [ie shoot cellphone out of propane cannon].

So I got it new 2 days ago. The back cover won't go on it right. The bottom left hand tab doesn't go into the slot correctly and doesn't stay seated. Is this a warranty issue where I could call google and get them to send me a new cover? Its the stock one that came with the phone btws.

you probably bent the tabs putting it on wrong. try bending it back, unless when you opened the box the cover was not seated correctly....

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rolo143:
I was wondering if these kind of games (developed on the unreal engine) only work for high-end devices with tegra 3? Because I recently download this game, "Dark Meadow" and it force closes. So I want to know if it is possible to run these kind of games on Xperia Phones. I read about Chainfire 3D but the truth is some games doesn't work if you have this driver installed. (And I really didn't see a lot of improvement, so...)

It is possible to play this game Dark Meadow on my Live? And can anyone tell me what Sony smarthpones have Tegra 3? Thanks in advance....

I'm really dissapointed, because the game seems to be good, I was reading that this company "Phosphor Games" also would release a new game called "Horn" which really seems awesome, is like a combination of Zelda and Infinity Blade, but since I couldn't run this game on my phone, I don't think I could run this game when it comes out..... :C
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Raider_:
as far as i know sony don't have any phones with a tegra 3 or a quad core processor
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
in case you got it/bought it from the Play Store, you should report this as an incompatibility issue. But in case you got it from somewhere else, well, you're bound to expect the unexpected haha. Some games work just fine on our Xperias, yet the Store refuses to show them on my phone. 9mm is one of those rare ocassions.

Let's see how this develops, I am worried about gaming support for our devices too.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rolo143:
Yeah I've got it from the Play Store, it's a free app and it says there that my phone is compatible. But I read in other sites that this game is only supported on tegra 3 devices, so I think that's why it didn't work on my phone. I know there are some games that in the Play Store says they aren't compatible with our phones but they are. For example I play Modern Combat 3 on my Live. But I have to modify the build.prop so that it identifies my device as a SK17 which is compatible with almost all gameloft games. I'm worried to about support for our phones because I think in the future there will be a lot of games that need tegra 3 and would be really cool, but maybe we would not be able to enjoy them in our low-end phones. :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Pixelado:
Exactly. I remember reading an article on the frontpage about the SGSIII running Tegra-exclusive games, which was pretty cool, but I wouldn't hope to see that coming to our devices, let alone running smoothly.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rolo143:
But all games based on the unreal engine are ONLY for tegra devices? Because I also was reading gameloft will release their first unreal engine based game and it would be a shame that we won't be able to play it only because our phones are non-tegra capable. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
Was having some troubles with my phone so I decided to do a factory reset, wiped everything and flashed Synergy 1.3 and Imo Leankernel. I got everything restored with TB and seemed to be going fine. Then I figured out the home button wasn't working. I turned off the screen and tried turning it on using the home button and it works fine, but once I get onto my home screen or in an app it absolutely won't work. I tried long pressing it to see if it will bring up the recent apps--it doesn't. I have no idea where to go from here. I'm new to flashing and I don't know what I could have done to make this happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have the unlocked icon so I don't think I will be able to get Verizon to replace it. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
first step would be to download the stock odin image from samsung-updates.com and flash that. See if the button works. If it doesn't work, somehow you borked your phone in the wierdest way but hey who knows.

Also flashing this will take away the locked icon.

Other option would be to flash a different rom, like beanstown, or mine, and see what happens. If it doesn't do it there, I would reflash synergy, but after verifying the md5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kabro91:
Also are you using any sort of launcher (apex, nova, go, etc.), I noticed my home button was a little finicky with them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
I was using Apex at the time, but I also tried Nova and TW to no avail. It was the weirdest thing...so I ended up flashing ParanoidAndroid Hybrid Jellybean ROM and it is working out great for me so far. No issues with the home button, and even if it does happen again, I have the on-screen keys to save me :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:
Alright so I was running ParanoidAndroid for a little bit, but I saw that the new Synergy 1.4 was released. I figured with a clean wipe and install everything would be back to normal. Installed fine, restored everything fine, rebooted just so everything would be working properly and then the problem is back again. Is there any way it would be something that I am restoring onto my phone? I still just have no idea...I downloaded a temp virtual home button so it still functions, but I'm at a loss here. Same issue as last time. My home key will turn on the screen, but then is useless after that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zool4nd3r:

I installed the SMS stock application ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587408 ) from here.

the stock application wasnt working correctly cant send or receive any thing ( SMS or MMS )

the GoSMS application was crashing most of the times and had bug ( maybe beacose of a conflict between the 2 applications ? ) but i was able to send and receive MMS !!

anyway the application was too way crashy to be viable, then i uninstalled the stock SMS application and everything went back as usual, cant receive MMS.

i must admit that the unstability is maybe becose of my big amount of SMS ( i have more than 21 000 SMS ).

anyway i guess it's a problem from GoSMS, if somebody have another idea :) ?

Hi All,

Forgive me if this has been asked - searching XDA results in hundreds of spurious hit since the search tool does not appear to honor quotes in a search term (i.e., "encrypted apk"). My apologies for the choice of forums. I was not allowed to ask in the Android forums. Sorry about the perverted reference below. I'm not allowed to add references, either.

Android 4.1 allows encryption of an APK (see "App Encryption" at H T T P developer-dot-android-dot-com-slash-about-slash-versions-slash-jelly-bean-dot-html). What tools are folks using to decrypt the APK and get it ready for something like APKTOOL or Dex2Jar?

[General Questions and Answers] Apex:
You can view or decrypt the XML files of an Android APKfile with apktool.

Just copy the APK file also in that directory and run the following command in your command prompt:

apktool d HelloWorld.apk ./HelloWorld,

This will create and directory "HelloWorld"in your current directory. Inside it you can find the AndroidManifest.xmlfile in decrypted form and you can also find other XMLfiles inside the "HelloWorld/res/layout" directory.

Here HelloWorld.apk is yourAndroidAPKfile.

[General Questions and Answers] noloader:
apktool development was abandoned some time ago. The last release built and offered for download is from December 2011 (https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/downloads/list). I seriously doubt it can do anything with an Encrypted APK (a featured added in August 2012 with Jelly Bean).

apktools or smali/baksmali is broken with respect to debug information. apktools and smali debugging: https://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/issues/detail?id=339. smali/baksmali debug issue (I should have filed it as a bug report): https://code.google.com/p/smali/issues/detail?id=139.
