Used samsung dive and I'm not up and running.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
Why don't you just connect your phone to the computer with usb and transfer the files on to your pc? Or will it not connect with pin lock on?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esist:
It's smarter than that. If you connect in USB with the screen locked securely, it doesn't activate until you unlock it at least once.

OP, is it definitely the phone PIN as opposed to the SIM PIN? Cause there's no reason it shouldn't prompt you to override the phone pin with your Google account info
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediNinjafication:
call your phone from another one and answer it. Once you answer hit the menu button and go to settings and quickly add another email account...Yahoo, hotmail, whatever. Can't hang up until done and have to be connected to Wi-Fi. Once it's stored in accounts you can hang up. go to lockscreen and enter that account as user and/or password. Any account you have stored to phone password will work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue13x:
Ok. Here's what I found.

In other words I unlocked it using Samsung Dive.

For some reason it locked and didnt accept my pin.

1.if possible dont use pin because for some reason it simply wont give you the option of forgotten and unlock with your google account.

2.If locked with pin you cant access files via pc.

3.so activate samsung asap and stay away from pin. Maybe this is a bug?

I also recommend EZ PDF, it's really good for annotating PDFs and is generally quite fast too. It's even almost usable for drawing on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 with a finger or a capacitive stylus but I'm anxious to see how it works with the Note.

Mine's doing ok with importing & exporting PDF's, but it's a hassle to go through this process every time. Any chance there's a way to make Android recognize S Note as a possible default program for opening PDFs? Currently, Android only gives me the options of Kno and Polaroid Office.

I haven't used Adobe Reader myself, but those who have reports it doesn't have palm rejection, whereas ezPDF does. Since you use it maybe you can confirm or reject the report about Reader.

Is anybody has same problem?

How can I fix it? or go back previous version.

AS far as I know you cant go back to a previous version. Have you tried another sim card if its the same with a different sim card in then its the phone if not then its your sim card is faulty.

You could try flashing th RUU, which will set it to factory settings.

You can backup your stuff with adb backup, flash the RUU, verify if it's working then adb restore. It might do the trick.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dannynyc:
Ok long story short, im borderline ripping my hair out.

I followed a YT video as to how to put TWRP on my KF. Followed it and installed and extracted the utility tool, the latest verison. I got the "run" screen to come up and the red lettering came up I pressed 5 to install TWRP I accidentally hit the other button which I think installed CWM recovery.

I went back in and tried to put TWRP. Now its giving me an Oops message when I tried to put TWRP in.

Nowwww I installed a different version of the utility tool it was like the 3rd to newest version. I sucsessfully installed the TWRP it said it was "ALL DONE!" but I cant get any other screen but the blue and white kindle fire screen. The only recovery I can get into is the red text looking CM screen. I even tried to do a normal flash I DL'd the rom I wanted put it on my KF and did apply update form sd.. flashed it.. NOTHING loads. GRRR!!

Anyway,

I cant seem to get to the TWRP screen I need to get to, the one with the gray buttons?

ANY help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] rwb2073:
I've been poking around on the market for a few days for an app that will keep track of how much time I'm using the device / what apps are in the foreground / which are getting the most use. Sort of like a data counter, but for eyeball time - so I can see, for example, that I'm spending way too much time in any given week / month in Tasker and Tapatalk, and that it's time to put down the damn phone and get some work done. :)

I found App Time Mini, but it's a little basic for this purpose. It puts a timer on each app you specify, but that's it. I'd like to be able to categorize apps and get a visual representation (graph) for their totals.

Anyone know of anything?
[General Questions and Answers] BleedingIris:
Hey actually your phone itself will have that information..atleast all HTC phones have it..however it is put behind some secret code or something..

Try elixir ..it's a widget app but will give this info..though you'll have to go deep inside that app...

However I don't know a app with graphs or other stuff..traffic widget or onavo gives you graphs about network usage...:cool:
[General Questions and Answers] rwb2073:
Trying Elixir now, thanks.

I'd actually forgotten about the dial codes, but you are right, Usage under 4636 gives me a workable list. These dial codes work with more than just HTC too (using them on a Motorola Atrix). No go on a tablet tho.

For anyone unfamiliar, it's a pretty cool feature. There's a full list available here.

Pretty abysmal overall, random write especially falls off the charts altogether. This is really sad since my N7 used to run great but recently has degraded significantly with lots of lag and ANRs.

Is it safe to say I need to RMA this device due to bad storage?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sultanxda:
Have you tried using a different ROM? Try one like Paradigm or Paranoid Android and see if there's a difference. When I ran quadrant on some ROMs I got around 2,000 consistently for I/O but when I ran it on some others (eg. Paradigm Android, BAKED Blackbean) I scored 7,000-8,000 consistently (I also used _motley's kernel).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omnikai:
Thanks for the suggestion. I get ~1,200 for I/O in Quadrant normally.

I installed BAMF Paradigm and my scores got much, much worse (about 1/3rd as fast across the board). I tried installing Trinity kernel on top of Paradigm and it's much better (roughly 2x standard). Unfortunately my random write is the same, which is absurdly, brokenly low.

However my Quadrant score is now ~7000... I just don't know what to believe any more :crying:

Just wondering if you use one or not on the GS3. My first GS3 didn't have one on it, and it magically gained 3 large scratches in the screen (always was left in a pocket alone, nothing else). I had one on my 2nd GS3, but I am now on my 3rd (2nd one had dead pixels) and wondering if I should just rough it out without one, or get one again.

Also if you got one, where from, and how do you like it?

Screen protectors are more trouble than their worth in almost all cases. If you manage to get it on without putting absolutely hideous bubbles on the screen, then you'll be left with something that just makes the screen "rainbowy" and terrible looking. Second skin doesn't do this but then it makes the screen rubbery and grippy feeling, not smooth like it should be. Protectors also seem to enhance fingerprints making them highly visible. Scratches? I wouldn't worry too much about that with gorilla glass 2 - http://youtu.be/wT8xI4PEU8c

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Clevinger:
I've used the SGP Ultra Nanos and don't like them. Within a month quite a lot had peeled away from the phone. I think this is going to be an issue with all thin film protectors that the industry seems to prefer with this model (slightly curved display surface).

I purchased an XGear Spectre and really like it. It's a tempered glass surface. Very easy to mount and hasn't peeled or scratched despite subjecting it to the same rigors as my previous SGP Ultra Nano. Nor do I expect it to peel in the future because it's pretty think (0.4 mm) and rigid. Apparently it's think enough that it doesn't fit all cases (I don't use a case). The field of view is essentially unaffected and the glass has excellent optics. At $35 with shipping, it's definitely more of than investment than thin film protectors, but I consider it a good value given the advantages.

I have had my x2 since it came out dropped it plenty of times no damages or scratches, after seeing how easily the sg3 screen scratches/cracks I'd say the original gorilla glass is stronger even tho they claim the 2nd one is stronger think about it, it's thinner...plus all the test on YouTube you see the gs3 drop test the screen ends up cracking,verse any old video with the original gorilla glass one the glass holds up, don't get me wrong I luv my gs3 but it shouldn't be so fragile...

I'm glad I posted in here even if my original thought sounded closed minded. It seems protectors have gotten a lot better from 2 years ago or so.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garr89:
I've decided to move away from Google Play Music and return to the old fashioned way to transferring media. However, almost all of my music was uploaded to Google's servers and subsequently deleted from my hard drives to save space. I properly tagged my media before uploading.

Now, AFAIK Google presents three options for retrieving music: direct download from the web (limit to 2 downloads), download the entire library through Music Manager, and the keep offline option from the phone itself. I'd like to avoid option one in case I need to download my collection in an emergency. As for option 2, I keep 200mb + EDM compilations online which I intend to play solely with Play Music, so I don't want to download 100GB just so that I can get the rest of my music that I won't be playing through PM.

As a result, I'm currently working on option 3. I've located the music files just fine, but it turns out that all of the tags are missing. I was under the impression that ID3 tags always stick with the music. If not, where would PM have stored them on the phone and how can I reapply those tags to the corresponding tracks?

*Please let me know if there is a work around to option 2 (or even 1).
