[Android Apps and Games] aperseghin:
Ok i have used 'Pair' and like the premise but think an app could be created that is MUCH better. I do not have the skills, just the ideas..

The app, which i have tenatively named "Just Us" would be designed for couples to keep in touch, share informationo and manage their time. It would include the following.

Built in private messaging

Basic text funtions

emoji

sharing pictures (from gallery or capture)

voice notes

Productivity

Calendar (posibly tied into the system calendar)

alarms/reminders

ToDo list(s)

check-ins ('Made it home', 'Goint to lunch', 'working late', gps map location, etc...)

Games

Tic-tac-toe

revirsi

cards

other simple fun stuff (checkers etc) could be add in that connect to other apps (downloadable/partners/etc)

Security

Pin/pattern to open app

maybe encryption for downloads folder

posibly propriatary image format even if just ziped with alternate extention (you know why)

Now the Pair app has a Thunbkiss feature so that if both users are in the app at the same time they can "touch" thumbs through the scree and the phone vibrates. This is very cute but there is no alert to let the other user know their mate is waiting for a kiss.

I believe that the app has a market if done right and i would love to be involved with the development and testing. I want to learn but i need someone who knows what they are doing.

Thoughts??
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbogogtab:
Hello. New guy here.

I hadn't used my (unrooted) Gtablet in a few weeks and the battery completely discharged.

I recharged it overnight but when I boot it up, I get android.process.acore failed unexpectedly messages every few seconds. I cannot access the settings, and my virtual keyboard and several other apps (Amazon AppStore, calendar, contacts, email, market) will not start due to the same errors.

My research indicated that this may be a cache issue, so I wiped the cache partition while in recovery mode. This made no difference. ES File Explorer show no files in the /data/

I slso see error messages saying the Tap 'n Tap Western keyboard (process com.android.inputmethod.tapntap) has stopped unexpectedly.

I do not really want to perform a 'wipe data/factory reset' if I can avoid it (I presume all my apps will be wiped).

Is there a known fix beside the wiping of cache?

thanks
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbay:
When this happens to me, doing a Fix Permissions from Clockworkmod in recovery fixes it.

Have to redo the market fix, and some apps disappear, but other than that everything works.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fersh0o:
I'm having some problems to understand or find the difference between two concepts:

difference between kernel and firmware...

I really can't find the difference. Thanks for helping me
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treygrizzard26:
I'm still a noob myself, but this is what I think would explain this simply. The firmware is the ROM that you place onto your phone. This encompasses the user interface and overall function as seen by you, the user. The kernel is what tells the device what to do by allowing the hardware and software (firmware) communicate with each other. They're two separate items, but must be compatible in order for the device to function (and even boot) properly. For example, a kernel not meant for captivate firmware won't boot because it can't communicate the right messages to the hardware of the device to normally go through the start-up process. Kernel is also what allows many things to work right since it is hardware-related. Many custom kernels add functions like overclocking, underclocking, and many other tweaks that stock kernels can't. In turn, some beta kernels make the phone lose some functionality such as wifi, data, and video playback because it can't communicate with the phone's internals correctly. To sum it up, kernel is always present as a silent hero behind the firmware which you see and touch on the screen of your phone. The firmware bosses it around, but without a kernel, the firmware is nothing.

Hope this helped you a bit.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fersh0o:
From noob to noob thanks a lot! Now I know more about this two concepts, this really helps me to understand better how they works, and at the same time has helped me to clarify and answer other questions that I had.... :laugh: Now I think I´m ready to start rooting my Cappy.

Once again THANKS! Belive me this helped me a lot... :good:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
actually, firmware includes both the kernel and the various device drivers (example: graphics/touchscreen driver, modem that runs communications hardware for a specific phone on a specific network).

its the part of the phone's instructions that generally do not change regardless of which applications you install or remove from your phone via google play or other sources.

the rom flashing packages that folks develop and post on xda may include just a kernel, just a modem, or a complete rom that either matches, or differs, from the stock rom by Samsung/AT&T.

here's a link that may help

[Xperia Play General] LordBattleBeard:
Its definitely a hw problem so either one of the flex cables has become damaged or loose (thats what happens when you use a cheap flex cable like they did), or the gpu has died.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646537 might help.

Edit: Warranty in UK is 2 years for this device, I don't know about the US. Even if its just a years warranty where you live, you might still be within that period. I would personally call up the sony mobile service centre and check. If its out of warranty, then they should atleast give you a price for repair. At the very least, you can compare the cost to local places. Needless to say, cracking it open and attempting to repair it yourself should probably be a last resort.

I have 2 GS3, i think to replace one for a Note2

Or maybe both xD
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Both great, comes down to wether people want 4.8 inch or 5.5 inch. Either way it's a win.
[Galaxy S III General] le_novo:
note 2 because of the extra gig ram,everything else is equal (0k screen's bigger). By the time Note 2 is available we'll have JB on SG3. Hopefully.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
It's gonna be an exciting Fall. New nexus(es) and other super phones will be introduced as well.
[Galaxy S III General] japjit100:
I don't think so note 2 is good upgrade

For galaxy s3 users
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
I think the Note is a different category device. They are both on the same level (the Note has minor improvements) but its all about form factor.
[Galaxy S III General] japjit100:
u r right but
[Galaxy S III General] zkyevolved:
I really like the note 2. I have the first note and I love it. But the one thing the note has over the s3 is the extra ram. I find it annoying when android automatically closes down apps when I'm trying to multitask.

I don't know which to get now. I'm so confused! My partner is getting the s3 tomorrow from Amazon. I'm going to steal it and play with it hehe.

[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:

[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
My preference goes to the S3 as well. Note is just to big for me, S3 is already pushing the limit.
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
I love the Note, it's the perfect size for me, I love phones with huge screens :D I just wish it was more rounded for a more comfortable feel when holding it.
[Galaxy S III General] nfsmw_gr:
The only thing i don't like is that it's too big and the ppi drops dramatically...:(

But i do love the quad+2gb ram...;)

Anyway..i still prefer the s3...:D
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
I think the S3's the limit of what a useable phone can be because the Note's more of a 2 handed job and if like me you always blindly walking around looking down at phone crashing into everything the Note wouldn't last a day in my hands.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I'm gonna sell my "new" iPad and get the note 2, made up my mind!
[Galaxy S III General] NZtechfreak:
If you love the Note there is no question you should get the Note 2 rather than the S3. None whatsoever.

I have two S3s, one white international one and one red AT&T one, and as one of the staunchest protagonists for the original Note I will definitely be getting the Note 2 (I wrote the best review on the internet for the original Note - here: http://www.androidnz.net/2011/12/samsung-galaxy-note-complete-review.html - a 16k word love story).

The 2GB of RAM in the US S3 makes a really big difference in terms of never, ever having launcher re-draws or RAM shortage problems. The Note 2 is basically an S3 with it's largest deficiency fixed and a mahoosive screen and battery. If you like mahoosive screens and can handle the size you shouldn't even look sideways at anything else.
[Galaxy S III General] YoungAceAtlanta:
If im correct..

The Note 2 has 2GB of ram, Quad-Core Exynos processor, and it has HSPA+ & LTE radio bands built in..

If so.. i wouldn't mind buying the international version if it works on AT&T LTE Network.. hell 5.5inch is big but.. thats why we have bluetooths
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
I'd get an S3 because basically, it's a bigger screen with the same resolution, and a waaay lower ppi.. I won't really favor 0.8~ on 70~ ppi difference.

The only benefit i can see is the 2GB of RAM.. well we currently don't need it, but meh we will in two / three years, and i change phones every two years so not a problem to me.

Note to people moaning about redraws: they're software related, and they're fixed, you can open 25~ apps actively now on the international version, i don't see myself using more .. unless you love numbers on paper.

Both phones have the SAME CPU/GPU, slightly overclocked (which i can do here, tada!)

In the other hand the camera pixel count is the same, and that's good, people think that getting more megapixels means pictures are better, wrong.

You'll get more noise and blurriness and all kinds of **** now, unless they put in larger sensors.

And for gods sake, it's jellybean not beam.

So to sum it up, not going to get a note 2 for now, maybe when the note 3 / galaxy s4 comes out next year.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
the new gallery app looks good in note 2, hope samsung delivers the same gallery for us along with jb! but im afraid we havent seen any glimpse of the new gallery in any leaks yet
[Galaxy S III General] aseanity:
It is much more balance fill with a 2gb in a quad core device.but,I think when s4 pro in the market. It certainly beat exynos in pieces :(

S3 and note 2 is losing leader board too way faster then it's brother!

But, I love note 2 more!

[Galaxy S III General] jody2k:
1) So how much multitasking do you want? Do you ever use 20apps at the same time? Why the 2gig then. 2) I find the s3 screen already big enough maybe little too big, the note 2 is ridiculous huge imo. 3) dont forget it will perform less than s3 in gaming performance because it needs to feed a bigger screen.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Sold my S3 and getting a note 2. S3 is the current best phone on the market. I'm sure the note 2 will also be great.

[Galaxy S III General] Sammb:
5,5 inch are to big to put them in the pocket or?

so the S3 is the best :D
[Galaxy S III General] japjit100:
Yes s3 is best
[Galaxy S III General] pacc:
1) Ridiculous point, better have multitasking option than not, and I believe it will definately be the future. And 2GB is always better than 1GB.

2) Size is really a personal choice.

3) Ridiculous point, as Note 2 has the same 720p resolution as SIII with improved amoled matrix and same cpu with improved 1.6ghz clock.
[Galaxy S III General] oddbot91:
I think the SIII is a tad too big, so note is out of the question for me

[Galaxy S III General] happyfingers:
In the Philippines, getting a Note 2 for the LTE functionality is virtually pointless because the technology isn't applicable on a large scale just yet.

I'm no longer as sold to the Note 2 software as I used to since Jelly Bean is now officially available. The most popular features of the Note 2 thus far are:

1. Gallery flow

2. Camera (fast and slow motion

3. Multiwindow

1 and 2 have been successfully ported into the current Jelly Bean builds and are stable. With #3 now available in Japan's Galaxy S3 alpha, it's only a matter of time until the devs successfully port it to our ROMs of choice.

That said, I think the S3 is the better buy.

I don't see Note 2 as an upgrade to SGS3, but a phone which is closer to tabs. For me I prefer SGS3 due to better dimensions, because Note is to big IMO.

Maybe I will upgrade my SGS3 with upcoming Nexus, if it will be good enough - if not, then SGS4 will be replacment for SGS3.
[Galaxy S III General] thunder8yte:
The note 2 is awesome, but a little to big for me to use as a phone. I like my GS3's. For a tablet i will probably not by the note 2 as it is a phone too :)
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
Still, I'm jealous of those 2 gigs of RAM. Why Samsung plays so dirty ? Instead leaving the S3 clients feeling at the top of the mountain, they push us from behind into a free fall, down on a hill...after just 3 MONTHS !!! This is sick. Also, I don't like they play they've done around the world with S3 (quad-core with 1 gb ram, dual-core with 2 gigs, quad-core with 2 gigs in korean version). They said that the dual core is because LTE is running smoothly on it, now they plan to release Note 2 with quad-core and LTE integrated.

I have the intl. version of S3, love it, think note 1 and note 2 is way too big and don't think I will ever buy it (sorry, not ping-pong fan so I don't need a new paddle), but I'm still wondering: it was so hard to add another gigs on the intl S3 ? For God sake, the both phones has been released in the summer of the same year, by the same brand. There should be no competition between the two models. We are not talking about a fight between S3 and iPhone.

I understand that the Note 2 have the S-pen and some fancy apps for it. Ok, ok....it need a bit more cpu. 1.6 GHz is just fine. It need more ram, so 1.5 GB will be enough. This would be a more realistic situation for 2 devices made by the same brand, in the same year. I'm sure Note 2 will not have just 500-600 mb ram usage as S3, but about 1.1 GB ram usage (probably). But 2 GB is a torture for the S3 owners. Even S2 have more ram than S3 (about 40 mb more)

Simply, Samsung just sh*t on their S3 clients (1x.000.000 unhappy clients)

《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
You both are true guys. S3 is still flagship, but with those 2 GB ram Note 2 made S3 feeling cheap, old, slow, whatever. Samsung need to learn to respect the clients more and not proceed like this in the future. People will rather buy Note 2 now, the s3 price will decrease, the note 2 owners will laugh at our S3, the benchmarks will not show our phones at the top of the smartphones anymore. If I will change my phone in the future, instead of jumping on S4, maybe I will wait to see what are the specs of Note 3.
