[Galaxy S III Accessories] HTC-Gunge:
Hi Guys,

Noticed these new accessories for Nokia but was thinking they should work with the Samsung Galaxy S3 (when we get the wireless charging case). What do you think?

Wireless Headset with NFC for connecting
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SGT2012:
Pretty cool. But there still missing a magnetic plate in the S3. Therefore, wireless charging won't work. Unless you DIY yourself.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ScottC:
The S3 has an optional wireless charging battery door - and it uses the same Qi tech as Nokia, so it should work just fine. The NFC part may not be as easy, but the Tagstand tasker could solve that too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Paul:
I very much doubt any NFC stuff will work. It uses proprietary tag formats.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] HTC-Gunge:
There is another Nokia NFC speaker http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nokia-Unive...rround/dp/B005LBCFCE/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

One of the comments on there says now with Android Jelly Bean it works natively. However even if it didn't in this article it also describes how using a couple of apps you can make it work http://anders.tonfeldt.se/?p=1392
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shamez23:
Get wireless speakers/headphones and put an NFC sticker on them.

Get a wireless charging matt and put an NFC sticker on it.

Probably a lot cheaper than what Nokia will want for a novelty product with NFC already included.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] thebluetoothkid:
Anyone else having these issues?

-Screen randomly turns on.

-Keyboard vibrate doesn't want to turn off even when it's selected to be off

-While dialing the keypad randomly becomes unresponsive.

-While rotating the screen if an app is open it will appear to "stretch" then crash if held in landscape view for to long

Please tell me I'm not the only one?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Mr.Bens0n:
Hi,

Android ICS offers the option to encrypt parts of the device in the security settings (Settings -> Security -> Encryption). Does Titanium Backup work with devices that are encrypted in this manner? In case it influences Titanium Backup, does anyone know what the restrictions/limitations are in this case? I'd really like to encrypt my device as I think this is important to protect my data in case I lose my phone. At the same time I want to have a strong backup strategie, of course ;).

I'm using an SII I9100 and running CyanogenMod 9.1.0

Thank you!

Cheers,

Ben

Re-Partition of an Android-System?

Hello

I bricked my Acer A200

What I did:

root and unlock with SimpleTool V2

installed CWM

Started in recovery, did full wipe

after this getting the information, that /data can not be found

restart => rien ne va plus....

after this trying with fastboot, ADB, tools like TWRP, CWM etc to get something work again

manuelly cleared and also removed files and folders with ADB

at last using Weapon ROM Installer and get flashed a ROM BUT

now my internal Card ist not fully useable - the storage information says 66MB

I can not install any apps and

the system always get aback to zero, when I do a restart

I think, I bricked the internal partition of the whole system..../data is still not usable....etc...

If you have any ideas what to do - I'll be very happy and grateful for help!

Best regards,

teacherhh
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haraldr Blaatand:
Did you make a nandroid backup of your ROM before you did the full wipe??

If so, restore that and see if things are back to normal.

If not, you'll have to wait until someone with more brains walks you through reinstalling the Stock ROM image.

DISCLAIMER: I have no knowledge of your device. I'm just giving the standard advice.

Hi Haraldr,

thanks for your reply and yes I did a nandroid backup, but was unable to restore it....

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soldiers33:
I "accidently" ripped off the usb cover on my XPS. Was trying to pull it out becuase its so annoying, i hate always having to close it and open it everytime i want to connect the charger, and it wouldnt come out instead just snapped. Now im wondering how does the replacement one fit back in? Cause the end is much larger than the actual hole. Anyone have any experience? And im not putting it back now but just in case for future when I decide to sell the phone.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 0M3G4_:
I am pretty sure you will have to disassemble your phone in order to replace the micro usb protector

This may help -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OqQdwTtB_E
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Growly_:
You must dismantle the whole phone, thus voiding the warranty. It simply slots in after being dismantled, self explanatory. However, please be careful as the part you unscrew on the back is connected via a ribbon to the main board which is directly attached to the sim card reader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gothic-4-Schiffer:
Will there be any releases by the Free Xperia team that support phones with locked bootloaders ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
No. You have to have a custom kernel for WiFi to work, and maybe some other stuff too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gothic-4-Schiffer:
Well that sucks.. If my memory serves me well while I had my handset prior to my XPU, in a time before

a bootloader unlock for the device was finaly found we had Cyanogen Mod et al. with OC capabilities

etc (p.s. this was on the Sony X10 Mini), we did not gain custom kernel support untill much later on.

There is porbably a way around it..

Kind regards
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Not really, Sony's kernel uses a really outdated driver.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] noim:
Nope FXP uses its custom kernel... No other kernel can boot CM....

http://lifestyle.etnet.com.hk/column/index.php/digital/smartphone/12651

http://www.dcfever.com/phones/readreview.php?id=7142

These reviews are from Hong Kong so they are written in Chinese but there are still many pictures though. According to the source, this mobile will out in this month in HK at HK$4498(US$577).

It is almost sure an One S 2.0 because they share pretty much same specification and the model number raised up a bit to z321e from z320e but the new name is HTC J now. The name is changed because they used a total new design from a Japanese designer.

There is almost no different on hardware but HTC J added support CDMA 800MHz and WiMax. The most eyes catch for me is OMG they finally give us back a replaceable battery(1810mah) and a microSD card slot!!! This makes me want to trade my One S to HTC J immediately(but I still love my One S very much.....).

1. S4 1.5G dual core

2. 8M f/2.0 with image chip

3. qHD 4.3" SuperAMOLED

4. 1GB RAM

5. 16GB ROM

6. Beats Audio

7. replaceable battery 1810mah

8. microSD card slot

9. WiMAX 2.5-2.7GHz and CDMA 2000 800MHz

10. Front cam 1.3M(720P)

11. Comes with 4.0.4 Sense4.1(2.17.708.2)

12. 142g weight

I guess it's not that hard to make roms for both mobiles.
[HTC One S] seangprice:
Looks more like an incredible or sensation then the One S.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
The design actually is more like Korea(LG/Samsung) and the model no. telling us it's an One S upgraded ver.

HTC J = z321e

One S = z320e

This mobile will sell in HK, TW and Japan this month. Not sure about Europe and USA.
[HTC One S] frdd:
The S4 One S is a Z520, the S3 is called Z560. To call the Z560 an upgrade is a bit of a stretch IMO...

What cpu is in the Z320e One S version?
[HTC One S] devgee:
MSM8660A
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
My fault on the model number but can you please read the spec first? Z321e's hardware are all based on One S plus some upgrades, the CPU on Z321e is S4 1.5G dual core w/ 225GPU. Indeed, this is targeted for Japanese market of HTC One S.
[HTC One S] dlshadow:
The One S still looks better and I have no intention to put in in water ....the SD being back is a good thing though. About the battery I'm actually impressed on how well it works on the One S.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
The One S design is very special, I won't say it's better or more pretty but it's a very rare/unique design. I like the battery/sd, it's more important to me.

However, I only bought the One S for three months I can't effort to spend money on other mobile at this moment. Probably I will wait for a true upgrade of One S or Sony Xperia w/ ExmorRS + RGBW next year.

If I have upgraded to 4.1.B.0.587 already, can i use your method to root the system? Will I lose any data?

Actually, I have a non-rooted, locked bootloader 4.0.2.A.0.62 Xperia Arc. I want to upgrade to ICS and root the device, but I also want to keep all my game data. I cannot use Tiantium to backup the machine cause my device is not root.

I am thinking of upgrading the device through OTA or PC Companion to 4.1.B.0.587 and then use your method to root the device. Do you think it is possible? Do you think by upgrading and rooting in this way, I can keep my data?

yeah i think it is possible follow my instructions well & root your mobile .. you like my work press thanks button :good::o:D

Just a copy paste from here http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/411278#411278 , Good Hunh ?

:good:
[Xperia Arc General] mavilion:
In your case, you can just root it with Doomlord's rooting toolkit method, then using Titanium Backup.

After that just upgrade to 4.1.B.0.587 (if you want) without fear of losing your game data. ;)

Although i recommend you to backup your SD card content to your PC (in case TB Backup failed) :p

The only problem here is that 4.1.B.0.587 can't use root toolkit. They need to downgrade the kernel to an 4.0.2.A.0.62 one. After that, they can use rooting toolkit, then revert to 4.1.B.0.587 kernel.

Hey Guys i am a total noob so need some help. Currently my Xperia Arc is on Android 2.3.4 and i really want to root my phone and also flash ICS. I have downloaded this Rom- LT15i 4.1.B.0.431 Generic Worldwide. I have found out that i cannot root my phone currently because my build number is 4.0.2.A.0.62 which apparently is not possible to root. So if i want to root my phone can i directly flash this kernel on my current ROM and then root or do I need to upgrade my ROM to match it to this kernel version on this thread i.e. 4.1.B.0.587... Please help me out.. Been trying to root this since hours with no luck..

Update ok it worked finally the only issue is every 10 secxonds I get an alarm message "Unfortunately ,Keypad has stopped " i need t o keep hitting o then it starts again lol grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr i use swype but cant find where to delete the xperia keyboard if that will work
[Xperia Arc General] kydo:
Isn't it better?

Although I'm a newbie, but isn't it better to flash some custom .587 kernel like LUPUS and then flash some superuser.zip?!!!

I always do that for both .431 and .587 firmwares (stock) and it works just fine.

'Cause it's the only way to root the phone. The .587 firmware isn't directly rootable, hence the need to downgrade the kernel, root and upgrade again.

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------

You need to flash the old kernel before the new one because there are no rootable 587s yet. The latest rootable kernel/rom is is the one mentioned. After it's been rooted, you flash the new kernel so the phone is rooted and updated :)

great help on this topic, thanks
[Xperia Arc General] TopperBG:
For the newbies (like me) is good to be mentioned that

1.You HAVE TO be upgraded to last firmware 4.1.B.0.587 - not only kernel .587, or old firmware!

2.If you ARE on .431 or .562 you can do root easily and you can update ONLY kernel to .587 !

3.If done root like in 2 even after upgrade your kernel to .587 - your build number NOT BE CHANGED to 4.1.B.0.587 and will stay at your last FULL update (4.1.B.0.562 or .431 respectively) !

If I'm wrong lets someone else correct me.

Does the kernel only have kernel.sin and loader.sin?

and on flashmode, there are only 2 options : exclude kernel and xxx (i forget) verification?

Since I've watched 2 videos about rooting Arc, they have option many other things on the list besides kernel.sin and loader.sin.

Greetings from Bavaria
[Xperia Arc General] Pottertons:
K. Been really itching to do one of these roots since my X10 but i've been getting by o.k without it, until now.

Enough is enough. Rogers(and i'm assuming other s.p's) kill your phone memory before you've even taken it out of the box. I don't even have that many apps and the ones that i do have are ones that i use on a daily basis. I'm literally have to install apps, use them, then immediately delete them just to allow variety.

Thing i don't get is that my phone has 60mb left and the app i'm trying to install is only 16. Yet i'm getting insufficient storage space messages.

Fingers crossed. I hope this works.

This tutorial seems to actually be understandable by people who don't already know how to do it. lol
[Xperia Arc General] Tilman:
It did work, for my xperia arc s 4.0.4 all the procedures i did followed with all the marks to be done ie. to increase screen timeout and changing usb mode, etc. but then also my phone did't root.

Did you use FlashTool? If yes - you can try rooting within FlashTools: Tools/Root/Force emulator.

[Xperia Arc General] Pottertons:
Thanks a lot for the O.P

I had seen this before a while ago but still couldn't quite understand the procedure.

Found this tutorial which explains it better for us novice guys lol :)

http://theunlockr.com/2012/10/09/how-to-root-the-sony-xperia-arc-x12/

I used the Root Checker app and it says that the procedure was successful; my phone is rooted. However, I kept getting this annoying pop-up every few seconds which says "Unfortunately, Keypad has stopped". There was also another one regarding something to do with Android not working.

Not sure what i did wrong during the steps but I SEUS'd and tried again twice. Same result.

I noticed that the difference between the two tutorials is that this one says something about making sure the adb drivers are installed. I google'd adb drivers and from what i could gather, it's just flashtool. Is this correct?

I think my issue may be with that part of the process...the adb drivers part.

Thanks in advanced for any help with the matter.

errors after OTA?

Thank you for this very clear explanation!

I just had one problem. After this, I got problems. I tried a backup wit titanium backup pro, but I didn't get back my saved apps. not very bad. But after that I got an update OTA and I did install it. After that I got a problem that de home button (middle, under) didn't work very good, and I can't lock the screen anymore (no pattern, pin code, or whatever). Then I used Sony SEUS, but that resulted in loosing my root!

So I did the flashing and root again and now eveything is good. But is it true that after this, you better not update on the air?

To prevent system errors?

I'm sorry about my bad Enlish, I hope you can understand my question en have an answer for me.

Best regards.

I wouldn't recommend you to update via air but rather flash an updated stock kernel ( 587 as of now) :D

I find out you have to make your own list, after checking the list from other users. Because everybody uses different roms or different Android versions. Just trying it and I think it works. All apk's I put on the SD in case of emergency.
