[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yatezy:
Yeah it's not great problem but it's a bit of ballache, I am thinking about flashing a different rom but waiting until JB has been released so maybe that will solve the problem.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Regardless of the mobile higher memory utilization will trigger task killing in the background, s2 didn't had this problem because it consumed less memory. S3 uses more memory, but still by tweaking it properly you can minimise taks killing. Disabling some unwanted apps in stock rom will release more memory and thus in turn reduce the chances of task getting killed.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jus1haz2:
I was having quite a few problems playing HD mkv files, tried multiple players. The only player I found that played them well was BS player. Thought I would spread the word, I was rather annoyed that i was going to have to transcode a bunch of movies to play on this tablet but then i tried BS player and was incredibly surprised. Not sure if the pro version is worth the money, im hoping VLC will eventually be able to handle it.

EDIT: With software decoding MX player was able to play them as well. I tried DICE player as well and it also seems to work. For awhile I was having issues with those other 2 players but they seem to work fine now. It still depends a lot on other encoding settings but all these players seem to work fine with 720p mkv.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] arashtarafar:
Vplayer is good also...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] akarshfrevr:
all these players can't play videos properly ......I would recommend u to convert video into mp4 or avi using formatfactory for PC .....once converted copy to ur tab and play using mx player or v player or stock ...........the resolution and bitrate adjustments make videos look lot smoother and plays without any hookups ......

HIT THANKS IF I HAVE HELPED
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxbat121:
I have no problem with stock player and 720p mkv files as long as you don't use High Profile H.264 encoding. The file size will be a little bigger (than High Profile encodings) but that's about it.

I don't know what you mean by "wide pictures" but there is an app that lets you take pictures with the R button. It's simply called "Camera mod".
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leraeniesh:
The only way I know how to do widescreen is to crop after taking them.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Use Photoshop to make the photo 16:9 rather than 4:3. There's no way to expand the left/right, you can only crop the top/bottom so why bother?

I'm not interested in editing. I want them correctly in that format.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
The app Camera ICS (which works on GB) claims to allow widescreen photo taking
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:
Surprising it works on gingerbread! But Milo wide. I think the problem is hardware camera. It's possible to modify the camera app, some did it for another Xperia.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuby:

Hi everyone so I'm new to development I have chroot on my epic 4g and I would like to start building roms from it. Can any developer please help me and please point me in the right directions I should be going. Thank you I would really like to help in development and all of us androiders out there. Please help thank you

?¿? its a mystery ¿?¿
[Android] thewadegeek:
...joke right?
[Android] lithid-cm:
Has to be a joke.
[Android] thewadegeek:
On the off hand this isn't a joke...not possible. Your phone just won't have the space required to build. Google VirtualBox and use that on your PC, or better still, Google Wubi.
[Android] mg2195:
Or even better just dual boot :P

I would agree, but Wubi tends to be a easier transition for new users.
[HTC One S] pookipsy:
i have a weird question.

assuming i know perfectly how to change and replace the phone's screen and price isn't a factor, is there a way to get same ratio and resolution 4.3" regular RGB instead of the pentile for the one s, and connect it to the phone?
[HTC One S] frdd:
Long answer: Dont think such a display exists, i mean sure for other phones maybe but many things would have to match even if you disregard physical size and shape, like connectors and assorted chippery. You would want an SAMOLED+ I guess since most of the time whether the digitizer is integrated in the display or front glass differs between AMOLEDs and LCDs thus you need AMOLED to make it work and SAMOLED+ specifically to get RGB subpixel layout. Dont know of a phone with a 4.3" SAMOLED+...

Short answer: Sadly no, learn to love the AMOLED

Literal answer: Sure if price is not a factor then have one made for you by Samsung/LG/Sharp;)

Anecdotal evidence: The Desire was first made with a Samsung AMOLED panel, then they switched to a Sony LCD panel because of AMOLED shortages. The displays had different connectors and IIRC correctly from when replacing my AMOLED the LCD one would not have fit. Check Ebay for pictures of both... and this was before they started integrating the digitizer in AMOLEDs so one less thing to worry about even.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gq.ciba:
i use the Galaxy S III (international version). Do i need to backup my IMEI with QPST as refer in this post [FIX/TOOL] Backup/Restore/Fix IMEI App v1.2.2.2b now available - Updated 8/04/2012!!!?

The ROM of my SGS3 is CM9.0, when i follow the instruction in the post to run the script to let my phone enable to DIAG mod, the fail feedback from the terminal prompt shown NOT EXIST DICTIONARY.

echo smd,bam > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_rmnet/transports f_rmnet NOT EXIST

echo diag > /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_diag/clients f_diag NOT EXIST

so I doubt the original post unavailable for the SGS3 i9300.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YorickRise:
QPST is proprietary Qualcomm tool so it is not likely to work on Samsung Exynos chip (used in international version of SGS3).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gq.ciba:
Thank you for your reply. You remind me to check the HW configuration for the AT&T. AT&T are replaced with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 dualcore. So this can explain why they need to use the QPST to backup IMEI.

Some more question:

Is it ok for onlybackup the EFS with the KTOOL for i9300? Do I need to do some spare method to avoid IMEI failure.

The DIAG mod is only for Qualcomm chip. is there also similar mod in Samsung Exynos chip, or some similar tool like QPST?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anibalin:
wondering

this very same thing too. I have an exynos cpu and cannot fix the imei with the above script. Thanks in advance guys.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
On other hand If you have the International GT-I9305 Which still uses the Exynos Quad Core... BUT it has a Qualcomm chip for the Modem for the LTE/4G... In this case yes we have just realised in the I9305 Forum that we needed the QPST tool. PHEW all this flashing luckily nothing bad happend as i never had backup the NV data.I had the EFS img, WITHOUT the NV data. But no one realised until Today.

All good now thanks to one of our Devs we are onto it, and have properly backed up our Imei/NV

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandulea:
I got myself an Otterbox Defender case a few days ago and because the phone seemed so much heavier with it on I decided to do 2 drop tests on the floor from hip height to see how it behaves. There was no damage to the case and the phone also seemed to be in one piece. An hour later, when I was browsing the web, I noticed a lot of dead pixels, mostly clusters in the corners of the screen but also scattered along the left side. The next day, however, I saw that the dead pixels that were more widely spaced had disappeared, and only the tighter-packed ones remained. Now there are even fewer, and my guess is that they'll all be gone by the end of the week.

Has anyone else had this happen to their phones? Is there a Defender owner out there who managed to drop the phone from a height greater than hip hight without breaking the phone? I'd like to know what the limits are on this case, because the extra weight doesn't seem to help the phone at all, even with the extra protection.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:

Worst thing about the defender case is that stupid belt clip, if a piece of clothing gets stuck in with the phone as you click it in, your phone will fall out, i have lost count of how many times mine has fallen from the belt clip onto concrete, phone is fine though, case has one small dent, but again, its fine and still going strong.

A 16GB SGN10.1 WiFi cost the same as a 16GB iPad WiFi at $499.99

Why does the SGN10.1 16GB 3G cost $750 while the same spec iPad with LTE only cost $630?

You can argue that the Note has more functionality but that argument is invalid because both cost the same on WiFi only models. the 3G Note costs $120 more than the iPad with LTE. If anything it should cost equal or less than the iPad because iPad has LTE while the Note does not.

It is always the same problem and also with 3 G:

Once a company does not develop the hardware and software (protocols) by itself and it´s patented by another company 90% of the costs we have to pay is for PATENT LICENSES FEES.

And as long some stupid jacka... with no brains like Apple are able to patent finger gestures and natural designs (form follows function) just like this we will have to pay more and more with each device.

Maybe there is already a patent from Apple that uses vomiting as phone input method cause this iPhone then I would buy. Because every time I see an Apple device I have to vomit knowing that everything in this device is just a copy by itself and was there long before Apple patented it. Who remembers the Compaq iPac ? It was an excellent device at it´s time but technology was quite limited at this time but scrolling and swiping was already implemented, but not patented.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driekus33:
"Now, the cost of a 3G HSPA+ radio to device makers is only about $30 on an average"

This to me seems to be only the radio cost and not the license fees.

I think it is important to differentiate license fees for something innovative (3G radio) rather than something !@#! like curved edges on a phone (iphone). It is perfectly reasonable to ask for license fees for 3G/4G radios as it is useful and the companies that spent money developing the technology deserve to be paid.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cproaudio:
Is 3G really that innovative that it costs consumers $250 on top of the device itself? That's 50% of the cost of the WiFi version. What about the cost to make the note what it is compared to an iPad? iPad can't do squat yet it cost the same as a note. Does this mean the note innovation is worthless in terms of monetary value?

If you're talking about licensing fees and other costs to include cellular radio in the device then why can 1 company do it cheaper than another? Apple don't own 3G or LTE and neither does Samsung but Apple's able to include it for half of the price of Samsung. Does this mean Apple has better lawyers? better negotiators? They probably do since they won the law suit against Samsung.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Yes, indeed.

if you try to compare the 3G vs Wi-Fi version, you will find the 3G price is a bit ridiculous.

Apart from WTH patent things, I still found the note 10.1" 3G versions is still in acceptable price.

I still can't forget that I bought my N7000 under the same price with the N8000. :eek:

My N7000, only 5.3", while N8000 is 10.1" (but yes, N7000 is a super AMOLED screen, whereby N8000 is just a TFT screen). But WTH is super AMOLED ? It drains battery so fast if you never do any tweaks to your phone.

The original N7000 (without rooting / changing ROM / other tweaks), the battery can last only till 8 hours or 9+ hours max. But with rooting, change the best ROM, and a lil bit tweaks here and there, now my N7000 can last for 16-18 hours (enough for the whole day use).

Don't forget about the blackclipping issue on the super AMOLED also, which some devices are suffered with this issue (mine is an example).

And as for blackclipping issue, some device needs different tweaks to get rid of it.

So with the same phone functions on N8000, and with some more additional functions to N8000, I think the price is still reasonable for the 3G.

But don't compare it to the wi-fi versions, of course you will find it so expensive.
