[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nitrous550:
I love my s3! I was a big Iphone fan for the longest time until I realized the piece of trash it is compared to a high end android phone. Your first upgrades when you get it should be 64gb micro sd and hyperion extended battery from amazon! You will love it trust us ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
The first thing people notice after going from an Iphone to an android is the android is sort of like the Iphone only a lot more upgraded...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] kgbkny:
At this point, I'd suggest waiting for the S6. I heard it's going to have a dodecacore SuperExynos processor, with each core clocked at 7 GHz, 16 GB RAM, and a terabyte of onboard storage space. The drawback? The phone will be oval, since Apple will have patented straight lines by then and sued every electronics manufacturer in existence.

All jokes aside, you can't go wrong with the S3. As everyone has already mentioned, if you play the waiting game, you'll be waiting for the rest of your life. Get the S3, keep it in excellent condition, and sell it when the S4 comes out. That's probably what I will do.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCMX:
I picked up a second Xoom used off EBay that had the 4G LTE upgrade a couple weeks ago. I went ahead and unlocked, rooted, and flashed the latest JB nightly on it but had not called VZW about activating it for data until today. All along I was seeing a couple bars on the radio indicator with the "verizon wireless" name show up in the status bar. Today I decided to call VZW and add the tablet to my account for data. It has been about two hours, and I am still not connecting over the VZW data link. How do I tell if the radio is working or if the activation is not done correctly or if I need to flash the radios?

In the tablet information it shows the baseband version to be CDMA_N_03.1A.65P LTEDC_U_07.1F.00

I am on build number EOS JRO03L Nightly 126

Odd thing is, when I switch wifi on I get the bars showing on the wireless radio and the verizon wireless name in the status bar, with wifi off I get no bars and "no internet connection".

Signal is weak here, so would that keep the VZW activation from happening? My other xoom gets data signal and works fine, but it is 3G only.

Thanks

I work in a repair shop and lately we have started doing cell phones. Normally we just order the ports as needed, but i was wondering if the ports were universal for phones so that we could order about 200 have minimize wait time.

Or are they brand or model specific?
[General Topics] dave_k605:
Personally you are the one that should know this, esp if you are in the repair buis........that's like taking your car to a shop and then not knowing if your car is diesel or gas by looking at the model.

Id be bummed having non trained techs working on my equipment and should never happen no matter the product.

That being said I think the port supplier would be a better place to look, or cell phone repair forums, I'm sure there are people here who know, but there is more professional sources.
[General Topics] ciarank01:
Although I have no experience in the sector, seeing as how most usb ports on phones are mini-usb, i highly doubt that the solder points will change with the phones. They are being made universal for a reason, this way it keeps costs down for everyone :)
[General Topics] elfie:
They are female Micro USB B, atleast all the ones that I have seen so far are.

As for the actual port, there are several different versions of them depending how they attach to the actual circuit board. They depend on orientation of the port (Horizontal or vertical) and pad type (SMD or through hole. I know this because just last week I ordered some for some other project.

My best guessfor phone would be SMD horizontal, but this is just a guess by its looks from outside, I have never seen a disassembled board.

Hey, first time posting something on this forum but to all devs reading this thanks alot for everything you do!

And Thanks to anyone who can help me!

Now my problem is as following,

My stock rom is RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.21.401.10_Radio_1.06s.50.02.27_2_10.08.50.04L__release_271119_signed.exe

I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader and get root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583427

I used this recovery "Official CWM of koush (HTC One S)" (both toutch and regular has been tested)

Then i downloaded MIUI at first and flashed that(full wipe), it installed fine so i rebooted.

Once i got passed the htc boot screen everything went black, no boot animation.

After that i tested some more Roms, ParanoidAndroid and AOKP Milestone 6.

The exact same thing happend with and exeption for AOKP where the toch keys turned on.

I also noticed it showed up as a removable device in windows from time to time when plugged in (dont if that helps).

After that i restored my one s to stock and then did all the steps again but that yeilded the same results.

I have no idea what the problem is and im hoping its something that has an easy fix and im just to dumb to see it.

If you need any more info just ask, and again thanks for any help!

Before flashing rom through CWM, did you flash boot.img through fastboot. Every rom comes with a boot.img that must be flashed through fastboot when not using TWRP.

Looks like the screen is running at like 30hz or something sometimes, especially when it's super bright. It's not the auto brightness as far as I can tell, it does it with auto brightness turned off. For example, if I go into the brightness settings, turn the brightness all the way up, the part in the background that dims when a popup happens, is strobing.

Anyone else?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nricci:
So, guys, just a quick question.

I know JB does not support UMS, but I can't figure out wjy.

Why would someone remove this feature?

Any suggestion on how to implement UMS in this great device?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
Use Stickmount?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chinpokomon:
When you use UMS, the host machine is in charge of the filesystem. This means that Android would no longer be able to read and write to the partition while it was mounted. Because the sdcard partition in Android 4.x is a FuseFS partition; it is shared with data. This means that you won't run into the situation where you have "lots of space" but can't install applications -- the available space on your device is your available space for applications and any other data or media you want to store on your device. Because the sdcard partition cannot be mounted and unmounted, you can't use UMS.

MTP allows the device to keep the partition mounted and is an "application" on the device that knows how to show directory content, and to save or retrieve files over the USB. Given the design constraints, MTP gives the most flexibility and the best user experience with transfer rates being the most limiting factor.

Interestingly, MTP was also used for the Zune to give that device a way to index files as they were added to the device. This is why the Zune was able to search very quickly for albums, artists, and songs. Apple solved that problem in another way, by requiring iTunes, and letting iTunes build the database when you installed new media. Although slightly different than the question you asked, hopefully this gives you some insight as to why Jelly Bean doesn't have UMS... or more specifically the Android device you are using.

As far as I know, you can still support UMS with Jelly Bean device, but there are very good reasons why your Nexus 7 does not.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nricci:
Thanks for the very detailed explanation.

Now, when I connect the Nexus 7 to my Windows 7/64 Pro Machine, some folders are not visible.

Since yesterday we are unable to download content of Marketplace thru the 3MktPlace. Using WP7connector, Wireshark let as to look into transmission between cellphone and Marketplace. This below is what Wireshark captured while downloading ESPN application. I do not how this could be useful but if is, maybe one of as will try find way to decrypt it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
No, marketplace http protocol still the same (for example, my application still functional - I can search, get description, screenshots, rating etc.)

The main difference in the downloaded package content: instead plain .xap (i.e. .zip) now we getting PlayReady DRM encoded package.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dotcompt:
This is because Marketplace XAP files are now encrypted by Microsoft.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] djtonka:
So still the same encoding gzip?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZetaZynK:
You aren't unable to download content. If you disable the auto-patch on download option, it will still download the XAP. If you open that with an editor you'll see a PlayReady header.

If you try to patch the XAP, 3MktPlace will try to open it as a ZIP file (which XAPs are) and crash because the ZIP library can't handle.

Also, I'm unsure whether discussing 3MktPlace is even allowed, as I know there are anti-piracy rules in the forum rules.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] juzz86:
As stated, the newly-implemented XAP encryption by Microsoft is what you're running into here.

Hi, I've developed another tool for Windows 8.

This tool is named "ModernBack changer". With this tool it's possibile to change accent colors and background image from default themes or

with a custom image

.

This tool work only on Windows 8 RTM and it need administrator rights.

With a program it's very difficult, because there is a system file to edit. I'll give a try ;)

I think too that the default backgrounds are bad ;)

What version of Windows 8 have you tried? Have you got a language pack installed or your windows 8 is in another language than en-US?

Have you started it as administrator or have you restarted your pc and re-tried to edit background? Is your PC activated?

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Pasquiindustry:
Thy this:

select a default theme and open the start-screen

return to desktop

select the custom theme and re-open start-screen

If this don't apply the custom background, look to \windows\system32 folder if "imageres.backup" is present

Maybe there are problems with permission of rename imageres.dll.

EDIT: Can't seem to get imageres.backup file to appear in system32 I followed your guide you linked me to but can't get it to create imageres.backup
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Pasquiindustry:
Try this:

1) restart PC

2) With ModernBack changer create a custom background

3) If not applied, go to modernback changer folder and to patch folder. There will be imageres.dll file

4) Download imageresdlltobackup.bat and imageresbackuptodll.bat

5) Open as administrator imageresdlltobackup.bat

6) copy imageres.dll in patch folder to windows\system32 folder

7) to restore default imageres.dll open as administrator imageresbackuptodll.bat
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] punkmonkey1984:
I never get imageres.dll file in patch folder, only 4 pictures. (attached picture)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Pasquiindustry:
Try to copy manually imageres.dll in patch folder

This imageres.dll give a lot of problems...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] punkmonkey1984:
So manually copy imageres.dll from system32 into the patch folder and re-run your application?
