[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KillaHurtz:
No, they won't. Even if it is "defective", if you are outside of your 14 day (21 days if you got from customer care) buyers remorse period you are stuck with what you ordered. Unless......both white and blue are out of stock when you try to warranty exchange it. This happened with the T989 when the white came out, and people were swapping em because there was no black ones to be sent out.

Black definitely looks better than the blue. But I prefer my white S3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KillaHurtz:
The white is boring and has a generic look when any of the LEDs flash at night. I have owned both colors and went back to blue for the elegant, dynamic & chameleonesque brushed aluminum finish. I have passed on every white offering samsung has made, it does look nice n all, but the blue definitely is a classier look.

I believe those are the OEM Samsung thin cases for the S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KillaHurtz:
The blue one is an OEM Samsung slim cover, and the white/clear one is a 0.2mm I scored from ebay for like $2.39.

Sammy cover was scored here on the marketplace, I bought one for me and one for my homie The_Biz

I dunno, I think the back of the blue looks pretty awful. The glossy shinyness is a lot more apparent.

Im ok with blue as it sometimes look black. And with a black matte case it really doesn't matter as majority of the phone is covered anyway.

The blue just looks bad. Out of those pictures I just preferred the white. Nice setup too. Maybe I'm biased because I don't have a blue one. Who knows if I did it might grow on me.. But I doubt it lol.

I personally think the pebble blue color is awesome. Unique, cause everybody has a black or white phone... steel blue (as I like to call it) is different, and cool. I like it!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konpon96:
I'm new in Java development. My favorite platform, for which I would like to develop, is Android. I started to create programs in App Inventor, however it's rather limited, especially in terms of design - it still seems to use API10 or earlier, when creating UI. Is there Java class, which provides ability to fetch system clock's hour, minute, second, week day, month, etc. in a similar manner App Inventor's Clock component? I checked http://docs.oracle.com/ and http://developer.android.com/reference/packages.html, but I haven't found such a class. Here's the screenshot, how it looks in App Inventor, and how I would use it in my apps:

if ( ClockHour.Now == 8 ) { // if current hour is now equal 8
//perform something
}

P.S. As IDE I use Eclipse Juno. And sorry, if I posted this thread in wrong forum.

I run against this article, http://phandroid.com/2012/08/02/att...-users-brings-new-option-for-old-menu-button/ , about an update that makes the multitasking-button abvailable as menubutton on longpress.

Now my questions...

In what update is this? I'm on Software Version 1.29.401.12, A pure non-branded one (I'm from Sweden).

Where is the setting to activate it?
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Not out yet officially but on most of the custom roms, it's a 2.X.X rom that will bring the update along with Sense 4.1 and Android version updated to 4.0.4 due out soon officially.

Only test release versions exist at the moment.

i am having an issue of incoming calls not ringing. ive had this issue on several different JB roms. when i do fresh install and/or TDJ cache wipe, the first 2 r 3incoming call rings fine. after that, phone just stops giving incoming ringtone. u can see the incoming call just no ringtone. Ive checked and rechecked sounds r on and volume is up.

and just to add, i only started having this issue since playing with JB roms. never was an issue w/ darkside evo3v8 or AOKP MS6. flashing different radios does not solve the problem either.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
I don't know if anyone else has heard, but I first read reports of the up-and-coming Samsung Galaxy Player (YP-GP1) on Naver (a Korean search engine). Thereafter, I did a Google search and found lots of intriguing articles, with the attached below being one of the more in-detail articles. This is pretty exciting and I know I am not the only one who is hoping for Samsung to release a 5-inch variant again. (Perhaps even Galaxy Note sized?)

Anyway, for more details check out the article and by all means, hit Google up.

Please, also, feel free to share any more insight, thoughts, ideas, opinions, etc.

Just buy a Nexus 7...It is faster, larger screen and will probably be cheaper than this new player...
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
there are some advantages to having SGP 5 over nexus 7
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
Namely, the Nexus 7's lack of expandable storage via microSD.

Sorry for the double post.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] ZaIINN:
A Nexus 7 is a genius ploy to make buyers aim towards the $250 16gb version as to avoid running out of space. That's the only reason they offer it for $200 @ 8gb, because they know the majority will go, "Hmm, I need more space then 8gb, $50 more isn't that bad".

Also with the Nexus 7 you lose portability (and I don't mean carrying in a bag, I mean being able to slip it into a binder, or in your pocket).

If you have lots of stuff that you want to keep with you... Get a galaxy player because it can have up to over 70GB of storage with the new 64gb microSDs, while a Nexus 7 can have a max of 16gb... total.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Supermaster34:
Portability and space (or lack of it) become pretty insignificant when you consider it gets updates straight from Google and is almost un-brickable. It also has a very very powerful Tegra 3 processor and comes with £15 (or $25) of play store credit. I got my Nexus 7 16GB for £190 and now I'm seriously considering never buying a non Nexus device again. It's that good
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:
I recently bought a Huawei MediaPad 7" and am very happy with it as well. Alluminium body, 3G, expandable memory, beautiful IPS screen. Many rewievers compare the build quality of it with that of an iPad. No joke, the device is very solid. Now, that i owe a tablet with 3G i think one without it (and especially without expandable memory) is a crippled device. Samsung Galaxy 5 though is a different kind of animal, it's as big as a device can get before becoming unpocketable, something you can just slip into your pocket and go. Plus, if Samsung puts a bt handsfree profile into it, the way they did with a 3.6 and 4.2, it will be possible to use it as a handsfree in combination with a larger 3G-enabled tablet (which is exactly what i do now with my Mediapad and SG 3.6).
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Higgs_Boson:
I can't verify the authenticity of the information found on this link, but should this be a valid source,

here are some very detailed specs of the YP-GP1 32GB.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] jabbyx:
I suspect that the screen size is 900(not 960) X560. It would then have the same aspect ratio and ppi as the GP5.0 and would be a better fit for the 3.4" width.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
Maybe for you portability and space is insignifikant but for me no...i also have a media pad 7 which is fine tablet and 3g with 30gb data plan on it but i find 7 inch is to big to cary around everyway i go and 5.0 is just big enough to be always in pocket.You cant let say walk and listen to music on nexus 7 ..you would look

wierd if you ask me..but at home i use tablet much more but whem i am out its SGP 5..i also have android phone but i use it for calling and sms and sharing internet to sgp..i dont want that surfing on net battery dies when i need to call someone.

Dolphin(with flash support) Fc's when I tap to load flash content

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] snowwhite007:
I tried sideloading didn't work but I followed that tut and it did.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ace7196:
It works.

1) Get flash apk. Sideload it (does not require root).

2) Get a browser that supports flash. Can you stock if you root and install in system/app. Could also use another browser. The ones I've heard work are Firefox Aurora (with the Phony add-on) and XScope. Opera Mobile and Mini don't seem to work (from what I heard), not does the regular Firefox.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] snowwhite007:
Cool iv got flash sorted using the root method stock browser so much better
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bdragon46:
@ OP, it all depends on what version of the flash player apk you're using. The link that ace7196 is the one you need and it works for me.

I would definitely flash the radio if you have CWM flashed right now. You can find radio file when you extract .zip file of the ROM. I'm not 100% sure if this is gonna work, but it's not gonna hurt your phone.

Also did you try clearing cache and dalvik cache when wiping?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] codeman0624:
Nearly every time I exit an app, then home screen has to re-draw itself. It just seems very laggy, and I'm not sure what I'm doing to cause this behavior. The worst culprits seem to be my beautiful widgets home clock and my astrid tasks widgets. They take a good second or two before they're re-loaded into the home screen. Is this just an example of TW being terrible? Are others having this problem?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scrappy1:
I notice the same thing and I'm not using those widgets. It's kind of sad some of these issues that have plauged android/Samsung since the S1 still exist.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
That tends to happen after I am done texting someone, and then hit the home key. The only thing that redraws is the TouchWiz weather widget. Kinda sucks but I imagine another launcher would help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] codeman0624:
I notice it after texting also. Especially if I hit the home key while the status of the text is still 'sending'. Very annoying, and kind of frustrating considering the specs of this phone. I can't imagine why the launcher can't be kept in memory, considering there's two gigs of ram on this thing. I guess I'll try moving to a different launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] caslca:
I found that all touchwiz widgets suffer from this (weather, clock, calendar). The problem went away after I installed 3rd party widgets to replace those. I also installed Nova Launcher and I noticed in Nova, the stock calendar widget would still do the annoying refresh.

Stock bloated roms will cause this. Move to synergyRom and the redraws will be gone. FOR-EVER

I'm using Apex and have not had a single redraw. I'm mostly stock but rooted with a lot of apps frozen or removed.

One issue I do have is with an app called Agenda Widget; it doesn't redraw but occasionally when I return to the home screen it reloads my appointments. It literally takes a fraction of a second but even that annoys me. It's not a redraw because I can see the widget but it says "loading" where my appointments should be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I used Apex for a long time & recently switched to Nova, both of these can be kept in memory which totally eliminates the redraw problem.

The phone was acting like it was bricked.. not sure if it was a bad radio or a rom from another phone.. im really not sure... troubleshooting and looking into files now.

But..

I popped the back off (A few screws simple)

Covered the antenna leads with some non conductive tape and BOOM

Phone rebooted like new.

Here is the issue now

Its back on , i can use it, cell service seems fine and wifi seems fine.. so im assuming the ONE (of 3) antenna i had to leave covered to get to boot was GPS..

So not sure where to go from here.. Did hardreset , factory wipe, Darkside wipe, installed rom , kernal and radio, but still cant uncover the top center antenna lead or i get ZERO response when i close the phone back up.

Hopefully this could be an easy fix to some bricks out there.. ill update this when i find out why i cant uncover this last lead.
