[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] cardsfan01:
Hello i have a sprint galaxy s III and i was wondering if anyone has had success tethering a sprint phone to the nexus 7? My phone is not rooted, i would like to keep it that way if at all possible. I use FoxFi and PDA Net and it does connect to my Nexus 7, but for internet only. Google play will not update apps, facebook will not work, Netflix won't work, ect. I tried open garden, FoxFi (by itself), PDA Net (by itself) and nothing else connects. What is everyone else using??? Thanks in advanced!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Oliverisss:
Well I`m using foxfi and it works very well for me. I`m living in uk.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] digitaltodd:
I tried out foxfi today for the first time. It seems pretty good, but I would like to here others suggestions as well.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Chinpokomon:
That doesn't really answer the OP's post though. FoxFi doesn't look like a real internet connection to all apps though. Is there another app that does any better?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] XWildcat:
If I understand this right your wanting to connect your N7 to the internet via your G3, if so cannot you just use the mobile access point on the phone, i have the galaxy s and my sister has the S2, both have this options in the settings and once set up and turned on acts just like a wireless router, select it and enter the password on your N7 and your away.. works well on mine

Foxfi Wifi Hotspot no longer works on my nonrooted Droid Bionic. I can only tether via blueetooth, which doesn't allow all of my apps to work correctly. Does anyone know of a Foxfi alternative?

My Foxfi works fine on droid x to my nexus 7. I don't know what you're talking about not a real connection....

Check it out though, foxfi is definitely awesome.

I took my Samsung GS2 Epic 4G Touch out to a forest--it took a dive on a dirt road and went *skitchskitchskitch!* for the Video on the screen.

WHAAAAAAT!! Dang, what a bunch of bullocks. CREDO Mobile is replacing it ..and boy do I hope it's just the phone I received.

So is the phone usually this fragle..or did I just luck out on a bad model?

Kinda disappointed with that. No i did not have a case, but for a phone to die that easily---just seemed odd after some internet searching.

Or was it the ROM? I was running AOKP/JB

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tscarano:
ok so here is the deal. my g2x is crashing like the hindenburg several times a day, very frustrating. Tmobile won't help since it's out of warranty. I need all the help i can get when it comes to doing any rooting and/or mods to the phone to get it to stop crashing so much. i have not rooted the phone yet, so advice on the best way for a numbskull like me to do it (superonecilck?). then, advice on what would be a stable mod or rom or whatever you call it to install on the phone so i stop being so frustrated. now mind you, whatever rom/mod etc that is recommended please make sure it is so easy a 2 yr old could do it, because i know me..i WILL screw it up!

any and all advice is welcomed. i am beyond pissed at this phone now and i need to keep from throwing it at the wall. Tmobile won't budge about helping to replace this, only grant me the full upgrade pricing early, so i can give them another $150-300 for a new phone, while new customers come in and get stuff free.

thanks to any and all who respond.

Optionally, you can also flash a kernel: Trinity ELP(http://goo.gl/XqDn2) and Faux52 LG (http://faux.androidro.ms/P999-CM-Kernel-052-sv-lg-stable.zip)seem to be the most popular... Instructions to flash the Kernel:

If one of the kernels gives you issues, try flashing the other one.

I'm pretty noobish to this as well, considering i only flashed my phone a couple days ago, but I used this procedure and it didn't give me any problems at all.

Thanks. We have full detailed guides listed for new owners in the development settings. Some people have issues with faux 52 kernel, if so try using 48 or 50 in place of 52.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ecdy:
Never had arbitrary crash problems with my unrooted stock g2x on either original Froyo or GB update. If your phone still has problems after the GB update you might have an app problem, or a hardware problem. Update to GB, strip all Apps, and see if it works. If it does, add the apps back in one at a time. If not, toss it.

Can any1 help?
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
You didnt wipe dalvik cache.... Thats why U r having forceclose.... U will get force close in most apps when U dont wipe that,,,, Also if U are from cyanogenMod if u flash without wiping dalvik, it wont boot.

Also make sure that U have flashed this official cwm recovery. Other recoveries might not be as reliable.

I have the same problem, Dalvik Cache cleared twice and factory reset twice. BUT the ROM is far from buggy. In fact even after the force close the email is sent. (Check, it does send the email. You just think it hasn't.) Only problem being is that it sends it twice, so the receiver may get a bit annoyed with frequent double messages.. ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
Try the latest update (deodex) and let me know if it fixed the force close. Ill upload odex after U guys confirm...
[HTC Wildfire S] Rahul2929:
No,same issue is observed...
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
Try this.... See if it forceclose. Let me know ASAP.

Put this in /system/app/ to replace original mail app with the help of es file explorer. U may need to go to settings> root settings> and allow superuser permission.
[HTC Wildfire S] Rahul2929:
It force closes with this dump also....
[HTC Wildfire S] finance.resat:
OK ... But it seems none of the mail apps working... So better switch to thirdparty mail app. or gmail/yahoo etc app. I am not removing mail as it works in my phone... I will release final version today. :/
[HTC Wildfire S] write2aziz:
I think the problem is with the temporary folder or cache folder for this mail app.because force close happens only when there is editing done or trying to send new email.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insat3d:
Hey Folks,

My phone is bricked. Here are the events before and after the crash.

Model: I-9100

I had installed CM10 ROM (ver. 25-Aug-2012) on my phone. It worked fine for a week and then while using the camera app, the phone froze. I restarted it, but it kept getting stuck at the boot logo. I could get into the download mode but not recovery. So I used ODIN to re-flash the same ROM, but ODIN got stuck at NAND write step. I tried it several times - changed the laptop - changed the cable - changed the ROM - nothing happened. Same thing, it either gets stuck at NAND or SBL.BIN.

I went through a lot of XDA pages and tried flashing the ICS stock ROM - same result - stuck at NAND/SBL. Tried both the 1-file and 3-file as well as the one with repartition (PIT) file. Nothing works. In case of repartition, it gets stuck at repartition step itself.

Also, over my last 5 tries the binary count is not changing. It is stuck at 13 and current binary shows as Samsung Official.

My warranty is not valid as I bought it in India but am in the US now. It's only 2 months old. :(

Summary: Download mode - Yes, Recovery Mode - No, NAND / SBL.bin fail, Stock ROM fail

Please help.

1) Have I hard bricked it?

2) Do I have to JTAG it? Any idea if anyone does it in Minneapolis? Or do I have to send it to "mobiletechvideos"?

3) I have a CWM recovery file on my external SD card. Is it of any use?

ODIN Log:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> I9100XWLP7_I9100ODDLP9_I9100DDLPA_HOME.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

Then it gets stuck here for more than half hr and i just unplug it.

Thanks

It doesn't seem like a hard brick so that is kindo of lucky! However I have never cime across anyone with that problem! Why don't you try using odin to flash latest siyah kernel then try entering recovery and wipe data+cache and re-flash rom, hopefully it will work!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pilgrim011:
I have had the same problem few months ago. Finally, I have managed to kill it when I tried to flash the bootloader - it got stuck at the beginning (just like with everything else that I tried to flash - ROMs, kernels...), no more signs of life (no charging, no download mode, nothing), andd after that Samsung service center replaced the motherboard. I think that's the only way, but you may try everything before you send it for repair. There's a thread in this forum dedicated to unflashable phones, try to get help there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexkno:
sounds to me like your internal storage is damaged. I guess it's a warrenty issue
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insat3d:
I hope it is not a warranty issue. I spoke to sammy (US), they said they don't cover warranty from outside US. :((

Is there any way to confirm hardware damange??

But my phone is not dead. I am able to boot it into download mode. So I am guessing it is softbricked right? Also, i tried flashing Siyah kernel (latest and the one before). It updated the binary count. So the binary counter is not stuck as I had mentioned earlier. But it still got stuck at the NAND write step.

From what I understand, the kernel does change from "Samsung official" when I flash stock ROM to "Custom ROM" when I flashed Siyah and back to "Samsung official" when I re-flashed it. But it gets stuck after that. Any ideas why?

Thanks

Yes, I did. I tried all possible combinations. I even tried the GB ROM.

I also tried Heimdall. It still gets stuck at the same place as ODIN. In both, the Kernel gets uploaded and then it just gets stuck indefinitely. (Heimdall crashes after a while).

Couple of ques:

1) If my NAND memory is corrupt. Can JTAG fix this?

2) If JTAG can't fix this and I were to try getting it repaired outside warranty. How much will it cost? Do I have to replace the entire motherboard?

I DONT have a valid warranty. Please let me know

if I am not mistaken JTAG will give access to core, but I guess (but I am not a technician) that if the internal storage is corrupted and not even repartition helps, then I guess only replacing it might help.

I'd advise to watch out for a repaircenter near you and ask

Ok...so the phone is 2 months old.....

Purchased in India but being used in the US?.......

I don't care what Samsung says.....it sounds to me like they are trying to 'fob you off'. I personally would take this further. ....contact Samsung HO, contact your local trading standards department (or whatever it's called).

No warranty. ....that's just corporate bulls**t.......the age of the phone (if it can be proved) is what's important.....I think you have a very strong case here.....go with it.

I have the same problem in that the phone stops at nand write when attempting to install package. I can only get into download but it will flash a bootloader but that is all. I believe that it may be necessary to reload the .pit file but I cannot find where this would be found. I presume if this were included it would reinstall this and would fix the internal storage.

I have been reading about guys excepting the update and just rerooting after, so I tried it. Now when I 'rerooted with root 66 it brought me back to vralf 2. I checked for the update again and I get a msg saying com.samsung.syncmlservice has stopped? Now I know the number one rule is don't except updates, so don't preach just looking for help.:D. Also if I restore and except update then root will It keep the vlraf7 after rooting. Sorry for the mouthful in advance.:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] k0admunk33:
When you installed root66, what you essentially did was install a rooted version of VRLF2 over VRLG7. Probably the safest thing to do would be Odin back to complete stock, accept the update, then use a root method that takes advantage of an exploit rather than one that installs a rooted version of a ROM. There are other ways to accomplish what you want, but I think that would be the safest.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] artisticcheese:
Well if you do in fact see difference in charging speed, then why would not Samsung supply this kind of charger with S3 instead of 1A one? I assume this would be another feature to brag about (now charging twice as fast as ordinary charges or something). So I would assume it's either not true (placebo effect) or it's infact shall be having bad influence on battery. We need somebody with electrical degree probably to render final verdict.

BlackBerry has a rapid charger for the Playbook and they actually tell you there's no problems to use it on their handsets. I think the reason for not including it is that the price is so much higher - retail $50 vs $25. Same as iphone and ipad chargers.

I use my Play book charger almost exclusively with my S3 - and the Playbook has sat unused on the shelf for over 6 months.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
Charging speed is controlled by the kernel, so you could technically charge with any charger in existence but the kernel will only allow the phone to charge at a preset amount. The stock charger is under this voltage cap so other chargers will charge faster, but as I said, it is capped. So I wouldn't worry about it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] artisticcheese:
So reported faster charging is placebo?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:
As I said, the in box charger will not max out the phones charging speed, so other chargers can and will charge faster, to a certain extent.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zanzee:
I've tried with my OEM sgs3 and sony vita charger. The phone draws the same current on both. So yes placebo. And to answer if charging at a higher current is bad for the battery, it depends on the battery cell. But usually charging at a higher current does shorten it's life.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Fallon:
As long as a USB charger puts out the required 5v it will do fine. The device will pull as many amps as it wants out of the charger up to the max capacity of the charger. If the charger cant put out as many amps as the device wants, the device will just charge slower at the lower amperage.

As slower charging heats up batteries less and stresses them less, this isnt a problem at all unless you are in a hurry. I charge mine at night and could care less how fast it charges.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zanzee:
Over drawing current from a charger isn't a great idea. Most chargers are designed to run at 80% max current for short periods if you run them higher they can do a number of bad things.
