[Off-topic] Dark__king:
I was just messing around with my GTA III 10 year annaversiary and i tried to install the gta 3 hd tri-pack on it. I failed to to that because the game wold force close after a few seconds on the loading screen. I changed the filenames etc. and tried restoring most of the files but still no luck. some people said they got it to work so i think it may be possible.Does anyone here have the tri-pack installed or knows how to install it? i would gladly appreciate your help.

Hi, i was on vacation, so normally i take alot of pictures/videos.. someday i took a video of my friend making wheely on his ATV, when finish, i loked my phone.. after 30min to make a call, there was SOD.. so i hard reset it by removing the battery.. every time my phone goes to sleep it doesn't wake up.. yesterday.. i released that the video caused the problem because, it was on sd-card but not showing in gallery.. i unmounted the sd the remounted.. and here is sh×t happend.. my sd card was empty..(formated).. i tryed many app to restore my old files.. but nothing.. what could i do.. or to avoid this rehappening again.. please help.. +400 pictures. +20 videos.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Did you already take out the SD card, and put it in a card reader? Then you should be able to restore everything just fine. Dont format it, if Windows asks you to. How to prevent data loss? Not take out/unmount the SDcard, while the phone is on and maybe accessing some files ;)
[LG Optimus Black] honey12345:
I have same problem, u just delete the file named .nomedia in sdcard

Problem will be solved

Press thanks if helped
[LG Optimus Black] Cedlad:
I all ready formated't :/ i don't remove the sd i just unmout it then remount.. because sometimes when you modify something in the gallery it doesn't, unless you unmoute ans re mount.. anw thanks for your feed back :D

1. There's an annoyance that after some minutes, the WiFi turns off even if the settings say otherwise.

2. After a reboot, apps moved to the storage card disappear and you have to install them again but the settings and stuff are still there.

3. It stops charging after 60-70 %.

..................................

Any suggestions would be great so thanks.
[HTC One V] Cr3sc3nt:
A little more info would be needed so that you can be helped properly.

1. PrimoU or PrimoC

2. Custom ROM?

3. When did it start happening?

4. What you did last before it started happening?

The more info you can give the better.
[HTC One V] theiNDrAs:
i try to answer your 2nd question.

try to unmount your sdcard and re-mount it again from settings>storage
[HTC One V] gulsher:
1 For wifi, go to settings->wifi -> menu -> advanced ->keep wifi on during sleep -always

3. for battery go to settings ->power -> uncheck fast boot , switch off your mobile and keep it for charging untill it shows green LED
[Sony Tablet S] TheDoolster:
I already have the Asus TF300 Tablet and i'm sending it back because it has many issues, but it may be just my unit. Anyway, I was wondering if I should get the Xperia Tablet S instead, because it's the newest tablet. Can someone compare the 2 and reccomend one for me?
[Sony Tablet S] zorbakun:
Sony has

1 Better brighter true black IPS screen

2 Better and higher volume speakers

3 Infrared Remote control

4 Better performance than Asus famous bottleneck Lag.

5 Better QC and built quality and premium Alminium back.

6 Smaller size and footprint 9.4 compared to 10.1 and higher PPI pixel density for Sonys

7 Sony weighs less 570g compared to 635g for Asus

8 Faster Tegra 3 1.4Ghz compared to Asus 1.3Ghz.

9 Full SDcards compared to MicroSd cards for Asus.

10 Splash Proof.

Asus has

1 Better developer support although Xperia tablet S is now rooted so may be that will change.

2 Better Physical dock keyboard although Sony has the surface like case with keyboard.

3 More storage 32GB for same price 399$ compared to 399$ Sony 16GB but you can always expand memory using full SD Cards.

4 Already upgraded to Jellybean. Sony's to be upgraded soon to jellybean as promised.
[Sony Tablet S] TheDoolster:
Thanks for the comparison. Looks like I'll be getting the Xperia Tablet.

[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I was wondering if it's just me or do you guys fall asleep with your S3 in bed? I usually read the forums till I fall asleep and naturally forget to put it on the bedside table. I end up waking up with it lost in my blanket or sleeping on top of it having it sandwiched between the bed and I. Hopefully this doesn't damage the phone or anything with it being so thin I'm afraid I might break it if the habit continues; I don't really mind the radiation. Lol.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
These threads get better everyday! :D

Now we have sleeping with the S3.......custom vibration tips? :p
[Galaxy S III General] d4fseeker:
Since no study so far has been able to even hint at ill effects by electromagnetic radiation (and you don't care about it anyway) you're safe on that side.

I think the highest risk would be your phone falling off your bed or getting thrown out during rem sleep.

The mattress are good protectors and your weight is distributed across the body so I don't see a very high risk there but it's still possible.

You could set yourself an alarm with eg 30min snooze intervall (Alarmclock xtreme is good at such configurations) to wake you up.

Ultimately the decision is between you getting less sleep to protect the devi(e or the device running the risk of damage.

Anternatively you could get one of those badass case protectors but they make the phone feel clunky.

Wow it's unbelievable how rude people are on xda nowadays compared to when I joined back in 2010. I was just curious about how people use their s3 and if my experience was the same as theirs. Honestly if you don't like the thread topic then please just don't reply. There is never any good excuse to be rude.

Jesus relax man, it's a light hearted tread. Sometimes you get sick of the "I installed a custom rom" treads.

Most of the time I don't read them and move on to the next one.

Bad habit? Get it out of my pocket to see the time, look at the screen, put it back in pocket, forget what's the time. ALL the time.
[Galaxy S III General] hansonator:
I often take it out to check a message and put it back only to take it back out to check the time.

But my real bad habit is probably taking it to the toilet with me. Haven't dropped it yet and give it a wipe with disinfectant once in awhile. :D

I never take it to bed though, wife would **** a brick. :p
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
Always do the same lool. Instead i go on fb and instagram. But forget to check the damn time haha.
[Galaxy S III General] Geordie Lad:
Yeah last thing I do at night is check my emails, forums posts etc and often wake up and knock the phone onto the floor.

But by far my worst habit is talking to people while doing something on my phone, and I know how rude it is because I get seriously peed off when anyone does it to me but I just feel the shakes coming on if I go too long without checking the internet.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
I do both of these all the time :)
[Galaxy S III General] Esra:
LOL, great thread.

My worst habit is holding it between shoulder and ear when doing something with both hands.

I know that will end badly one day.

[Galaxy S III General] kanin_rider:
You might as well use a sweatband and then tuck your phone between it and your ear. :D

Or much better if you'll use a headset.

Back to topic. My bad habit is when I keep using my phone while charging at night, even if its 100%, only removing it when going out in the morning.

I just dont want to go outside with my phone's battery not fully charged because im afraid it will not last until i get back home later. :D
[Galaxy S III General] RorixRebel:
id have to say, i have the terrible habit of overprotecting the phone

i always need to have it with me, have the protections needed, my pockets must be clean, always carrying something to clean it, i dont let the sun touch my screen at all. Its like taking care of a baby but much worse...
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
Lol its really hilarious to read all these, typical human instincts :D

《spilled from dragon jellybean rom》
[Galaxy S III General] jbluzb:
1. I also fall asleep reading ebooks or the forums and wake up that my phone is sandwich between the covers.

2. Overcharging my phone, I often times left my phone to charge overnight or sometimes forget to charge it and let it discharge to 0% (really bad for battery life).

3. Cleaning my screen using my dirty shirt :P

4. Sending messages with greasy hands.

5. Sending a message when the person is just a few meters away.
[Galaxy S III General] kanin_rider:
Yeah, human instincts indeed. Coz' our phone is 'designed for humans'. Lol.

haven't been so nervous because the pillow im using are big and soft.

if you are getting nervous that you may kicked it out of the bed then try to put an Otterbox Defender :) its worth the price.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Lol! I do the exact same thing, trying to find fault through frame skipping. So far it hasn't disappointed me.

Kinda like me. I love holding it bare but when I go out I get paranoid and slap on a case. It gets tiring removing and putting it back on but I do it anyway lol.
[Galaxy S III General] sjgore:
My worst habit is when I take my phone out of my pocket just to look at the time, get distracted by an e-mail or text, then start reading threads on XDA, then have a quick read of my twitter feed, then put phone back in pocket.... then realise I didn't actually look at the time!

Oh, and I suppose another one is scrolling endlessly through my Nova Launcher app drawer just to admire how neat and tidy I've arranged all my icons, into different program groups, etc.
[Galaxy S III General] ashmont:
I took one of my earlier phones (not an s3 thankfully) to the toilet and left it on top of the cistern. I walked off leaving it there and forgot where I put it. I decided to ring the phone and I could hear it vibrating so tried to follow the noise when suddenly I heard a clunk. Sure enough it had vibrated off into the toilet! The screen was still on with an "insert sim card" message gleaming up through the water. Ok it wasn't an s3 but definitely something not to do with an s3.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
if you have your modem.bin, then just use copy and paste function in Root Explorer just like you do in any OS.

make sure the system is mounted as read write (one of the options in Root Explorer).

If you are asking where to get modem.bin, then just get it from the modem thread in dev forum sticky.

Unpack it and just use the modem.bin, don't flash it from Odin/CWM, won't work in cm10.

Has anyone else the problem that google maps constantly turns itself on in the background and starts collecting memory?

Everytime I used my phone some time and I look up active apps, there is maps with about 60mb ram. And this when ram is scarce anyway and apps constantly have to be loaded new? The process in question is com.google.android.apps.maps, but the process that nees so much ram very often is com.google.android.apps.maps:GoogleLocationService .

I disabled every location based feature I could find, therefore I see no reason at all for maps to run. I am thinking about uninstalling maps, but I use it sometimes..

Any hints?

Edit : This keeps constantly popping up in my logcat:

E/KeyguardStatusView( 2992): ERROR: Could not get Location code

W/System.err( 2992): java.lang.NullPointerException

W/System.err( 2992):	at com.android.internal.policy.impl.KeyguardStatusViewManager$1$1.run(KeyguardStatusViewManager.java:334)

Disabling the weather widget solved this, maps however still turns itself on. I can not be the only one affected by this?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArRaY92:
bump. nobody else has this problem? I can not believe this!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapil_dheer:
I had this problem.....as a workaround , I use titanium backup to freeze the app and defrost it when needed.

Or use other apps like sygic maps where you can use offline maps....and of course uninstall google maps.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArRaY92:
I uninstalled it because I need the memory for other applications, drives you mad when every new app you go to has to load and then the old one again when you go bad. I am wondering why there is no bigger response, I found no way to stop maps without uninstalling.

Surely somebody else encountered this problem?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N!TRO:
I had the same problem and uninstalled it with titanium backup but I keep the backup just in case, I also already had Sygic installed and use that much better for NAV anyways.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArRaY92:
I acknowledge this is a valid solution, albeit not one I would like to use.

I love maps and want to keep using it, but this memory consumption kills it for me.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] measel:
maybe try the app autostarts...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shenoyjoseph:
same thing happened with me it consumes more memory from Ram. I recently updated to Google maps latest one and the problem has arrived . Before on old Google maps when i stopped the process it won't run until next when i open the app . But when i updated to latest Google maps it runs at background although i stopped and it again starts automatically. So i decided to uninstalled it to save more ram for my other applications.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejstubbs:
Gemini App Manager is a good tool for disabling autostarts for apps that won't stay dead. You need to be careful with it, though, as you can break stuff eg stop Google Play from auto-running and you won't get automatic app updates.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juried:
I recently saw an app in play store that would auto-defrost an app when you click on it, run it, nd when closing, freeze it again, all on the fly. Stop that map sucker dead n its tracks until you really need it.

Unfortunately I can't remember the name. You will have to search. :(

Is there any way to prevent that?

Maybe just moved a bit, causing incorrect connection.

Or try formatting the card.

kindda hate Xperia Active for this
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rudjgaard:
I think it depends on the sd card (and what you do with it), some just perform badly in the phone. I had a new sammy sd class 10 card (which i payed a third of some class 6 cards) and the moment i started using link2sd partition, and especially swap partition bam! from one moment to another it was burned (btw i also have an active) after barely a month of life
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MXR2:
maybe your device is faulty. dropped mine before as well on concrete flooring, just a dent on the metal rim
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] gyeben:
1. Not the phone killed your MicroSD.

2. You should definetely buy a water-dust-shock-etc. proof MicroSD, because these memory cards are quite sensitive.

I think the same way. Gotta get one of these cuz looks like that ordinary ones can't handle everything that Active can, specialy the shocks.
