Hey guys. Im gonna call and report my phone as stolen so I get a new one. A guy at a bell shop told me I could do that LOL im just wondering, what are phones that have a good dev community right now that are on bell? Im thinking of getting a gnex or s3. But I don't know the gnex is kinda old now. also I looked at s3 and there's already pages in the developer forum lol. My dad has an s3 so I play around with it sometimes, gorgeous phone haha. I just want opinions on different phones like the s2 and what not.
[Motorola Droid 3] DrWowe:
The GNex is still the top developer phone if you want to run the latest Android code and the most choices in custom ROMs and will probably stay that way for another 6 months or so until the next Nexus phone. If you want another QWERTY phone tho the choices are pretty limited sadly.
[Motorola Droid 3] vbhokiefan:
well, I personally would go with the gnex - so many more of the top devs on it. and its unlocked (even though kexec dev is making that slightly unimportant)

oh, btw, if you're claiming its lost just to get a new phone, thanks for making our insurance rates go up. why not sell it on swappa and upgrade that way?
[Motorola Droid 3] ratman6161:
So let me get this straight. You are asking for advice on committing fraud? It is a crime you know.
[Motorola Droid 3] Atrixn00b:
Alright! Haha. Gnex it might for sure be. Just the fact its already been out for a year made me think people might have moved on to something else now. Thanks for your reply. The guy at the bell store told me to do that if I want a new phone. But thanks tips and your welcome for that.
[Motorola Droid 3] ZionCorps:
Yeah, but if you still have the phone I hope you don't plan on using it with your carrier. I did have my phone stolen once at a theme park (yaay girl purses :<) and when I called I was asked for the information on the police report. Once you call and report it stolen they blacklist the phone. Asurion was telling me something about having some sort of tracking in one of the replacements that I received from them awhile back.

And people wonder why companies get so strict..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pip9ball:
Hello all,

I have an issue with my Galaxy SIII that has been driving me crazy. Whenever I'm listening to music whether it be Pandora, or the Google Music, when I receive a notification, the volume of the music lowers to about 10%. I have to manually click the volume rocker up or down to re-engage the volume.

This is really annoying when my phone is across the room. Just wondering if this is a known problem?

Thanks,

Phillip
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pip9ball:
Nobody has seen this issue? Can somebody please test this out?

Thanks,

Phillip

My volume will go down, but it goes back to where it should be in a couple seconds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] myonlyst4r:
First time hearing this. my volume goes up by itself afterwards.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pip9ball:
I just did a test and mine will also go up by itself, however it takes about 1-2 minutes.

Are there any issues I might run into if I restore the apps I backed up from my HTC EVO onto my S3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
I would do only apps.. One at a time... And be cautious on data for some apps...Especially older system apps. But generally you should be fine. I moved from og epic with only a couple minor things that an uninstall fixed. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pizzlewizzle:
I WOULD HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU DONT DO THIS... Maybe it was just a fluke with my phone, but after doing this my phone wouldnt charge... kept saying charging paused battery temp. too high/low....wouldnt even charge when powered off and i had to get a new phone.

This occured after installing apps one by one and only restoring data for 2 games. i didnt install any system apps from my old phone.

if you decide to do it tho i'd like to know if you encounter the same issues that i had.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Yea, I was only planning on restoring user apps without data. No system apps.

That's strange. I've got a bunch of apps so it'll be a pain in the ass to install them one by one but I don't want any problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] il buono:
Mass restoring user apps with data has never been an issue for me. I've done it between all my devices...but of course if you do run into issues, you have to go back and see which app is causing any instability. Chances are you'll be fine :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pizzlewizzle:
Yeah, I didn't think it would be a problem either.... that's why I did it. this was the only thing I did to my phone besides rooting and I had to buy a new phone :(. Didn't flash any ROMs or mods...very strange. Maybe I just had a defected phone

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Alright guys. I know it can be hard sifting through all the crap and spamware when trying to find something cool to play on our sgs4g. Well, I've done A LOT of sifting, and I'm here to bring you the best suggestions for games that YOU WILL enjoy, I promise. These are the greatest games I could find, and they aren't in any particular order. Don't be afraid to spend the money on these, because you won't regret it!

Zen Bound 2 - absolutely fantastic! So simple, and so addicting! Great graphics, that run SMOOTH on our device!

Age of Zombies - classic twin stick shooter. It doesn't get much better than this one.... except...

PewPew 2 - My favorite of all. Twin stick shooting acid trip meets geometry, with a funky soundtrack. EPIC GAME

Final Fantasy 1&3 - no explanation needed

Fruit Ninja - you all know what it is!

Inotia 3&4 - FREE epic rpg's. Absolutely great! Very detailed, and lengthy. Can't beat it, for free!

Oscura - Ever played Limbo? This is an upgrade to that great game.

Osmos - Very original game, totally worth your time.

Reckless Racing 1&2 - Absolutely the BEST racing games on android. Multiplayer doesn't lag at all! You will not get tired of these!

Super Stickman Golf - FREE!!!! Don't be turned off by "golf". This is totally original, and it's a blast!

World of Goo - very fun and creative!

Zombirds - forget angry birds, this is where it's at! and it's FREE!!!!

iFishing - best fishing sim I could find on android.

I could probably come up with more, but these are absolutely MUST PLAYS. Try them, and tell me what you think. Also, if you know of a game that you think is epic enough to be in the list, let me know!

TRY THESE GAMES!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Gonna bump this one time!

If I were only able to have three games off my list, it would probably be:

PewPew 2

Reckless Racing 2

... can't decide which one for the third... probably Age of Zombies or Zen Bound 2.

Hope that helps you decide which ones to get. If you haven't tried the free ones I listed, then shame on you! LOL j/k.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
Dude world of goo and fruit ninja are awesome on this phone. I also have one though that I think I should add, Shadowgun. Best first person shooter game for android.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adobrakic:
World Of Goo gets ridiculously difficult.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
My favorites are :

* Modern combat 2 (Gameloft)

* NBA jam (EA Sports)

* PES 2012 (Konami)

* TAKI
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wodensman:
Doh! I forgot NBA jam! That's a good one! I'll check out the others you mentioned. Thanks for the suggestions. I remember trying one of the modern combat games before, and it didn't run so smooth....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] farmerbb:
I'll add a few of my favorites that haven't been mentioned yet in this thread.

Spirit HD - One of the most addictive and beautiful games I've ever played on a mobile device. It's like Geometry Wars meets NiGHTS. A must buy!

Where's My Water? - Don't get turned off cause it's made by Disney, this game is incredibly well polished. It's a water physics game that's insanely addictive and stays fresh when Cut the Rope goes stale.

Sonic CD - An accurate recreation of the 1993 Sega CD classic, fully made by a member of the Sonic the Hedgehog fan community and licensed by Sega. Much, much better than Sonic 4 Episodes 1 and 2.

Asphalt 6 - Really the only Gameloft game worth buying for our device, high speed arcade style racing at its best.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Asphault 6: Adrenaline by Gameloft.

-it is quite smooth on GB and ICS, I haven't tried Froyo.

[Captivate General] josefo_18:
Hello brothers .. I'm new here and sorry for my English is not my forte.

I got an i897 Captivate Galaxy .. well but note q the camera was not working properly .. sometimes if sometimes not! stopped working after .. CM7 cel came with 2.3.7 .. said (Sorry the camera application stopped working) I thought only app ... I downloaded some and the same .. the camera after a few days so x function of nowhere! .. but then returned to the same at all .. android error thought .. I went back to 2.3.3 and nothing and probe with: 2.3.5 and 2.3.7 and nothing!

ICS probe with nothing and now 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 and nothing with JB

Today I got the camera hardware sent it to order online, it installed everything carefully and surprise! nothing does not work the same .. to past or someone can give me solution q?

please help me!
[Captivate General] -SGA-:
I had the same issue but with sound instead. Try flashing it back to stock with Odin. Once that is done and it is working again, then you can flash any other Captivate ROM.
[Captivate General] josefo_18:
you have the stock rom?

and a flash with this rom
[Captivate General] droyd666:
I agree, try going back to stock because that usually fixed those kinds of problems.

This is kind of off topic but does CM9 have a mod for captivate where you can take a picture with the power button/ on low battery

Does anyone know how to delete the individual screens?
[Android Apps and Games] ToStymiedBoar:
I would be interested in this, too. I have in the past just uninstall and reinstall but its a pain. Clearing the data in apps setting might be easier. Will have to try that.
[Android Apps and Games] pocketbass:
Doesn't look like this was answered but to confirm, clearing the data in the application manager resets the individual screens
[Android Apps and Games] artcotto:
I Just find a way to delete it, you have to go to manage app and clear data.... that will clear all setting from that app, so you can set the new ones you want...

I hope that work for you guys, cuz it worked for me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lost Dog:
A guy I work with dropped his phone and the screen is unresponsive. It does not display anything (but does not appear cracked). At any rate, he's getting the phone replaced on warranty. He's saved all his videos / photos to the internal storage and not the sd-card. I can get the phone to go in to download mode (it is detected in Heimdall).

Is there any way for me to be able to dump the contents of the internal storage via heimdall/odin? I was looking at heimdall dump:

Action: dump

Arguments: --chip-type <NAND | RAM> --chip-id <integer> --output <filename>

Description: Attempts to dump data from the phone corresponding to the specified chip type and chip ID.

I don't know the interal chip-id.

Any suggestions on how to save his files?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
If you can get into download then you can probably get into recovery. If you can get into recovery you can use adb shell to pull anything off the sdcard you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lost Dog:
He is stock and not rooted. Does the stock recovery have adb? Can I use a reboot to recovery command from download mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
yes adb does work with stock recovery. No I think reboot recovery command will work from download mode. But if the phone will boot up (I know the screen will be dark) but as long as it boots you can just use the adb shell from there. Or you can try the button combo and just try to time out when it boots into recovery.

But like I said if the phone will boot up normally you can just use adb shell from there to pull anything you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lost Dog:
Good call! After a few tries I was able to get in to adb. I think the issue now is the fact he's not rooted. I cannot access /sdcard or /sdcard1 and I cannot mount anything because I do not have permission (no su). I think I may need to root him, get the files off then go back to stock for his warranty replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
If debugging is not checked on I don't know if you can get what you need with adb. Although I thought you should still be able to access the /sdcard folder. I know you can't access root but maybe you can't get to the /sdcard either without debugging on.

I don't know if someone knows how to turn on debugging without being able to see what you are doing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Lost Dog:
Just an update for anyone interested....

I managed to get everything off the internal storage. Without root I could not mount the storage so I was basically stuck. I ended up blindly button mashing and got back into Download mode. Using Heimdall I rooted then button mashed until I got in to recovery. From there I was able to get the internal storage mounted and "adb pull" everything I needed. I then un-rooted and the phone is set for warranty return.

Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions.

[Nexus 7 General] philicibine:
Hi guys / gals... I've stumbled on a fix to make the Xbox 360 wireless controller work with our nexi..

I basically adapted this from the fix in the galaxy s3 forums. Credits go to that man!

This requires a USB wireless receiver for your controller and a USB otg adapter

Using terminal emulator type...

su
cd system/usr/keylayout
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl
chmod 0644 Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl
chmod 0644 Vendor_045e_Product_0719.kl
exit
exit

Then reboot and enjoy ;)

Have only tested on one game myself but all was working well :D
[Nexus 7 General] eAiur:
Nice. Not able to test it yet though, since I don't have the wireless receiver.

Any way to get it working via Bluetooth, without the receiver?
[Nexus 7 General] godashram:
Not an Xbox controller since it doesn't use Bluetooth

Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express
[Nexus 7 General] captainstu72:
Tested and is working fine on my Nexus 7. Shadow Gun is now playable =D
[Nexus 7 General] shinji257:
For those of us that don't have the wireless received the wired one works without any mods at all. Just plug in a usb-otg cable then the controller and go. Checked it on sonic 4 episode 2. Note that it may need some sort of mapping software to work with other games...
[Nexus 7 General] treehouse:
So just type this into terminal emulator on my nexus7 and were good???
[Nexus 7 General] Lennyuk:
yes
[Nexus 7 General] Lennyuk:
Waiting for my OTG cable to arrive (hopefully today!) then I will be trying this.
[Nexus 7 General] treehouse:
Is there anything that needs to be done when I'm done using the controller? Is it safe to just unplug it?
[Nexus 7 General] Lennyuk:
should be fine just to unplug, nothing is mounted anywhere, basically you just reprogram the system so it knows what's plugged in.
[Nexus 7 General] treehouse:
Cool, I'll try this when I get home. I've been using a wireless 360 controller as a remote for XBMC on a media center PC. I'm gonna need to download some games first though.
[Nexus 7 General] sleeplessninja:
This does work. I actually made a post on this in this forum a couple weeks ago. I have a video that overviews the issue as well as a video showing how to solve the problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1792531

Some people do not have the file on their Nexus 7 for some reason. I also have attached in that thread the xbox controller keymap file that makes this work.
[Nexus 7 General] alexx910:
Hey guys, I'm coming from the GS3 forums and need your help.

Saw this before and that was really impressive.

But the main thing is, that nexus 7 supports natively the xbox 360 controller and we GS3 users would need those keyboard layout (or whatever) files to make it work with the s3. Cause personally I dont want to use mapping software, cause this is mostly crap and doesnt work properly.

It would be a giant breaktrough if you guys could help us desprate gs3 users to make the 360 controller work, no matter if wired or wireless, I have both of them^^

thx in regards

Had my phone Since release day not had any issues with it but all of a sudden it has developed a very noticeable yellow spot on the top left side ,not happy will they replace
[HTC One X] random_username_:
Yeah, they fixed mine free of charge. Some people say leaving the screen on full brightness overnight fixes the issue, doing this made mine less visible.
[HTC One X] Maximus78:
I also got mine on release day and it too developed the yellow spots, two of them I noticed. But they seemed to disappear on their own. I not sure if it was rom or kernel related. Just give it some more time it has been a known issue and there are some tricks to speed up the process.

I was wondering if any of you have used or recommend a signal booster for the S3.

The signal at my house is super weak. My phone keeps "searching" all the time.

Any info would be appreciated... Thanks...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vinnyjr:
T-Mobile offers a free signal booster to their customers. You must be in a area that pushes out 2 bars of signal strength, you must live in a single family home. The booster works fantastic. I checked out the same booster at the Repeater Store and it is for sale @ $525.00. It is a two part booster, one sits in a Window and the other in middle of house. I have mine in 3rd floor Window and the other part in middle of 1st floor. Single strength went from -111 to -61 dbm. Call and ask for customer loyalty department. Don't waste your time with anyone else.

Sprint offers something similar, their unit is not a repeater, it uses you cable internet and the unit acts as a mini cell tower in your hour house. I was barely getting 1 bar and dropping calls before and now I have full bars everywhere in my house.
