Don't you know this by now, Ravynmagi... what works for 1 person works for everyone. Duh. :eek:

I however am doing just fine with 16GB for the most part. The biggest space issue I have is when I go on long trips (which is rare, but happens) and want to watch TV shows or movies to burn up the plane time. Fun fact - even with 64GB of space I'd run into the same issues. It's significantly easier for me to have a 500GB external (which has about 400GB worth of media) that I can pop in, copy media, disconnect, and be done with it. I'd likely use OTG in these situations regardless of what sized tablet I had. That said, these situations are rare, and 16GB is more than enough for me on the regular day to day.

I will say this. I find cloud services significantly easier to manage because everything is in one location. For me, Subsonic is such a win for music/videos because I host it out of my basement and I own the server, the material, etc. I handle it my way.

One centralized box for everything, especially on my own very LAN, is such a :good::good::good::good::good:. Couple that with the fact the same server is running "owncloud" (think Dropbox but on your own server) is yet another :good::good::good::good::good:.

But there again, just my 2c. :D

Are external storage (2,5“ HD) working with otg?
[Nexus 7 General] riyatch:
Im debating returning mine now since its still within the return window. Only problem is that mine is perfect hardware wise and i know asus products can sometimes be hit or miss. I really enjoy using the nexus 7 even more than i thought i would and have grown attached to my device.
[Nexus 7 General] jebise101:
it may not be official but we know its coming and the fact my brothers bestbuy inventory shows it plus other stores with a price tag but no date means its coming. I'm sure it will be released for the holiday season, stupid if they don't.

I have a 16GB S3 and i can tell you that is not enough and had to buy a 32GB microSD. I don't like the whole cloud storage thing what if i'm on the go an have no internet access. OTG is fine but its not very portable. I mean if we had a proper micro usb to micro sd then 16GB would be fine, hopefully the kickstart project in the OTG thread kicks off.

decisions decisions
[Nexus 7 General] blahblahyoutoo:
I have almost 10gb in apps already, including a couple of games that are 1gb+ each. 16gb is not more than enough.
[Nexus 7 General] irishrally:
That's cool you are getting one though. Have your friend bring a few of them so you can hook up the locals ... and yourself ;)
[Nexus 7 General] xmoo:
I got mine from Best Buy in CA... If I had to choose I would directly bought the 32GB... but for now the USB OTG cable is doing good work :)
[Nexus 7 General] maztahbr:
Would be a great idea but i dont have money to bet on this “N7 screen issue“ lottery. But thanks :)
[Nexus 7 General] catsargent:
Is this a true fact for sure. best buy is one of the only places that sells the N7. Is it true then?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] patelhj1:
I just put the Eclipse 3.0 and noticed everything works but the Hotspot. My computer connects to the phone internet but says it has limited connection. Anyone know why this would not be working?

Prior to this Rom I was using Spearmint Gummy. I was having issue with 3G/4G connections constantly. So i decided to go with new Rom Eclipse. If anyone recommends another ROM with working camera / video / 3G/4G and Hotspot let me know.

Thanks for your help to fixing my hotspot issue.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] patelhj1:
So many view and no replies?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mike t:
Have you tried foxfi?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] patelhj1:
No what is that app?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mike t:
Yes its on the play store.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] anarchian:
I have the same problem with every non-blur rom I installed on the safeside. The build in menu for hotspot just keep saying 'starting wifi', but going nowhere.. I tried wifi hotspot apps from market, but I also got 'limited connectivity'.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] patelhj1:
stuck on the same boat my brother....

I just download newest Safestrap 2.11 , put ICS .232 on it, and but CM10 JB and still have the same issue with hotspot....

hopefully someone here know the answer!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travisdroidx2:
I have it working on my wife's bionic eclipse 3.0 hotspot to her nexus 7

Have to buy a app and do it on your end. Let me try and find the instructions for you.

The only way to do it on the bionic is to use sqllite. You have to open up the settings db and change the entitlement. I have changed this value in the motorolasettings.apk before and it doesnt seem to have any effect. Here is a little clip of an article on how to do it:

The first step is to make sure that you have root on your phone along with SQlite Editor app installed.

Once done, tap to launch the SQlite App editor and select Settings Storage.

Once in Settings Storage, tap to select settings.db.

Now select Settings and after that tap on menu button followed by selecting Set_Filter option.

Now in the Set_Filter field, type “check” and press OK.

In the resulting menu, set the value of “entitlement_check” to zero.

After this reboot your phone.

I also seen a you tube video on this as well that helped. I take no credit for the instructions above but I can confirm it works.

Search YouTube bionic hotspot and there are videos to walk you through it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] patelhj1:
Travis the issue I am having is that under settings.db i dont have a settings options. I have the following options android_metadata , bluetooth_devices, bookmarks, secure, sqlite_sequence, system.

Can you please help me out and tell me how to get to settings..

I have found the video to help me walk thru it but I am stuck... maybe its CM10 thing????

the link is here http://droidbionicroot.com/droid-bi...i-tether-mobile-hotspot-on-your-droid-bionic/

P.S. Foxfi doesn't work either...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travisdroidx2:
You are on eclipse 3.0 based off of stock .905 right and not cm10 or the ICS leaks .232? I used those steps and yes the steps in the link you have and with rooted stock .905 and flash eclipse 3.0 follow those steps and my wife's hot spot works great t tether to her nexus 7.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] patelhj1:
I was on .905 with Eclipse 3.0 w/ safestrap 1.07 but I upgraded my phone last night

I currently run ICS .232 with CM10 JB unofficial (10/4) with safestrap 2.11.....

I just need to get Hotspot with whatever ROM I use. I have CM roms on older phones and think they are stable and very easy to work with. Assuming that I thought the CM10 JB would have hotspot working because currently hashcode hasn't reported any problems with that....

I don't know to be quite honest whats wrong. I am no pro android rooter or anything so I deff appreciate your feedback!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travisdroidx2:
OK well if you went to .232 then you are no longer on eclipse. If yo want hotspot you will need to go back to .905 then flash eclipse 3.0 and follow the steps given it will work. But you will need to rsd back to .905 first.

Also this was posted in the wrong section should not be in development should be q&a in some other devices they would shoot you for this :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] patelhj1:
O.o I am sorry for wrong section post.

Thanks for your help. I got it...i'll just wait for CM10 JB official release i guess....
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travisdroidx2:
I don't mind about the wrong section just giving you a heads up for future use specially in certain device threads lol

And I am not sure about the cm10 but ICS has not been officially released yet and jb is only ported. If you really need hotspot then I would say just rsd back to .905 and then flash 3.0 eclipse it will work if you really need it. Good luck.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] anarchian:
Using SQLite to directly edit the database file often results in failed to save edit. There are two Settings Storage database file, in blur roms. They are in different folder when browsed with root explorer. This edit seems only possible when using ics blur roms, leaked or custom. Using root explorer, browse to the file in folder /data/data/com.motorola.android.provider.setting/databases and there's the settings.db file. Copy that file and paste in the same folder, edit the "entitlement_check" in the copy file, it should give no error while saving edits now. Then delete the original settings.db file and rename the copy file as settings.db, reboot, and hotspot should be active. However, this "entitlement_check" edit is only possible an blur roms, because on non-blur roms like cm9 or aokp there is only one Settings Storage database file, the one within folder data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases but no folder /data/data/com.motorola.android.provider.setting

Is this typical error with CM/AOKP build..or did I missed anything?

Edit

Foxfi failed too
[Motorola Droid Bionic] codygs83:
Have u guys tried Speedlite 2.0 jb? The built in hotspot is banging like a champ. I've had 0 issues connecting my nexus 7 to my bionic using this rom. In fact it connects faster than foxfi and the speed is damn good.

Hope this helps!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] indigomontoya:
I am using WiFi Tether (for root user) with Eclipse. You have to change the device profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan1)". It takes about 30 sec for my laptop to see the connection (though that could be the laptops fault) and then it works like a charm. I am writing this using the connection now!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travisdroidx2:
Changing the check value with sqlite the same way on GB and I have native tether working fine on eclipse 1.2.1

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alainalemany:
OK the thing is I got my S3 which rocks by the way, but I went crazy when I switch the WiFi toggle to ON and never see a sole WiFi connection. I've tried with routers, APs, even turn my Dell Studio 1555 laptop into an AP using Connectify... and got the same problem. The phone seems to be scanning the area, but I think is not.

So this is what I've been trying so far. Reading this thread I called *#0011#, entered into Service Mode, pressing Menu I entered into WiFi and turned off WiFi powersaving mode, fixing absolutely nothing.

Then I tried to open an adb shell, then su and then:

wpa_supplicant -dd -i wlan0 -f /sdcard/wifi.log -c /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

And I don't know if the code is wrong or something, but what I get is this:

Then I tried to run "wpa_cli", like an user in that post points, but adb just wont recognize that command.

After that I use the command logcat and when I switch the WiFi ON, this is what I get:

As you can see I'm getting an error

wpa_supplicant ( 5068): wlan0: Failed to initiated AP scan

So my first questions are, does this happens frecuently? Someone here has been with this problem? It's fixeable?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
There is no standard for command-line applications. In this case, it seems to be looking for:

wpa_supplicant -dd -iwlan0 -f/sdcard/wifi.log -c/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

instead of this:

wpa_supplicant -dd -i wlan0 -f /sdcard/wifi.log -c /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

I don't use ADB, so I cannot test. However, usually if the usage doesn't show spaces, don't use them. It shows you this in the example at the bottom :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alainalemany:
I tried it and get EXACTLY the same.

However you can see the log in the logcat command I put.

It's fixeable?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
If your bone stock, try using Odin and reflashing stock again. Maybe you have a corrupted driver. If your not stock, did you flash a kernel? Some have modified wifi drivers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alainalemany:
I'm in stock. I'll try to reflash it again. And then tell you.

However if I install a custom ROM, which kernel you recomend me?

I'm worried about this, I just need to know if it's a hardware of software problem.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:
I think they all do, but its easy to make a back up of your stock ROM first. This usually works, but sometimes it needs to be Odined back.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Are you rooted?

What build are you on?

Have you ever flashed, modded or updated anything on the phone?

Did you restore any backups from a previous rom or device?

Anything else you have done, such as installing any wifi management apps or anything like that could be useful info.

Boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik then reboot. If still not working try a factory reset from the settings menu. (This will wipe all data including internal sdcard)

If this doesnt work try using odin to flash MrRobinsons root66 version of UVALH2. (This way you will have root if you dont already and will have more ability to troubleshoot than without in case it still doesnt work.) (Or if you are just set against rooting flash the regular UVALH2 fw)

If you are on build UVALEM or UVALG1, while in the wifi scan screen press menu, advanced (i think), and make sure your wifi band is set to auto. Try 2.4ghz and 5ghz only as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alainalemany:
I'm rooted. My build is IMM76D.T999UVALEM. I've never flashed, modded or update anything on the phone... except, well, the root procedure with the toolkit. I didn't make a backup of a previous rom. Also I never installed anything WiFi-related.

I booted into Recovery, wiped cache and dalvik and still doesn't work. I tried 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi bands and nothing.

I will try to reflash the stock rom and see what happens, in the meantime I'll download MrRobinsons root66 version of UVALH2 and if the stock doesn't work, I install MrRobinson's and I'll tell you.

Thanks for you answer.

I hopw what I tell you so far serves you to help me... in the meantime I'll do the ROMs flashing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Just fyi, MrRobinsons root66 version is the stock build only it is pre-rooted.

He has both UVALEM and UVALH2 versions.

UVALEM is the original out of the box build.

UVALH2 is the official updated build.

I would recommend updating regardless, and in your case it may be your best bet. I leave it up to you if you want to try root66 or not, but ive used it quite a few times and its always worked well for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alainalemany:
Sorry man, I'm looking MrRobinsons root66 and I can't find it. Can you give me the direct link? Man I'm not a noob and still I can't find it :laugh:

Your in download mode, correct? Vol down, home and power, until it vibrates, then let power go but hold vol down and home.

Yep, in download mode.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stevessvt:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
I'd factory reset, or wipe. Then flash a custom Rom.

Also, I'd put my router back the way it was.

Reboot both systems, etc

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alainalemany:
Well guys I installed MrRobinson's root66 ROM and didn't fix the wifi since, like a while ago, the phone can't see any wifi network. BUT I pass a logcat and my surprise was the shell showed me the same error of before, but with more things:

I hope this "new" things on the shell should indicate anyone some good fixer answer for me.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dav3wash:
Fantastic!! Just a few things. I got me and my wife the 32GB S3 the same way you did :angel:, akmzero put me on to your thread. With mine, I followed the instructions to the letter, and there was no second factory reset needed. On my wife's, I flashed the only the 32GB pit and it worked. I got the idea from just flashing .pit's on my s1 years ago.

Thanks for this, you saved my brain.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
Is that 16gb pit file the one for the 16gb phone? So I could re flash mine if I needed too?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Äptiva:
Sorry to kick a dead post, but would the 16gb pit work for the cricket s3? If not, could it be modded to work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] itaielazr:
do you have a pit to v 4.1.2 ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] edufur:
Isn't it possible there was a reason your phone was factory formatted from a 32 to a 16? Perhaps mem beyond the 16 mark was bad and they just repackaged as a 16 when they formatted it as such?

Would re-opening this other bank of memory potentially expose the phone to errors when a bad block is hit?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
Yes, but most people mess up with Odin and just flash anything without research. Most likely the case.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AmmarGitham:
Great... can feel the difference.

I've got trebuchet frozen so apex works perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Taraen:
This feature is also included in ROM Toolbox. (Don't know if its also available in the free version)

Regarding the feature itself. This configures the out of memory manager/killer. If you set your settings high you will face a reduced multitasking capability, because apps are being closed pretty fast. Also this causes an increased battery drain, like manual task killers, because memory gets "cleaned" more often which causes apps completly reloading. This of course needs more energy then simply bringing an app into foreground.

Not that I want to say anything against the potential performance gain (when memory is free it doesn't need to be cleaned before loading an app), but it's just a note on that task killing stuff for people that did not know that.

So Far I Have Found

- Default Apps Will Not Stick

- Custom Ringtones Do Not Stick

Anybody found anything else?
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
I have no problems with them, nore do I have it on my s3, but both of those are reported by others on the s3 too (but not by too many people).

I imagine its a mixture of something you ahve installed, or the way your setting them that differs from people like myself who are having no issues at all.
[Galaxy Note II General] Dexter_nlb:
first thing i noticed.

opening browser and looking at a webpage using video (HTML5) and close it. the audio from the video continue in the background although all windows are closed, and only way to kill it is closing wifi.

but maybe its just a onetimer.
[Galaxy Note II General] fkofilee:
Not out to find fault with the devices :) , i love it :) , but these things should work ideally ie. replacing existing ringtones on /system/media, but it doesnt :(
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
1-Quick controls on the Browser are not precise and the X button in it either missing or not working properly.,the one on my Galaxi Tab 10.1 are much better.

2-The rebranded stock Swype Keyboard is not good.on my original Mote worked great,I use Swype all the time.

3-On the Lock Screen cant change the location of the Clock while with ICS it was possible,I preffer the clock on the bottom of the lock screen since pulling it slightly from the Napa cover will reveale the time.

4-The music sound with the Earphone is very low and the Equalizer doesnt help at all to raise the volume as it was the case with N1.

5-Both in the Gallery or the Camera app every time touching the picture a manue of picture thumbnales appear at the buttom blocking the view which is very annoying due to limited screen size.

6-Tap and Rotate the Lock Screen to open the Camera application is very buggy and doesnt work all the time.

7-Scrolling in the stock Weather App is instant without any transition or animation which sort of reminds me of my old HD2 Windows Mobile.

So far these..

Just curious. how are you experiencing the NFC performance?

- types of tags recognized?

I ordered two xperia smarttags from amazon, I'll let you know when I try them out.

Also looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreepyDroid:
Sooo, I got my XPERIA SmartTags today :D

After installing two Sony apps, I just had to swipe the tag on the back of the phone to go to the tag settings:

As you can see different actions can be set to be automatically executed whenever the mode is turned on (smarttag) or off (manually). The actions available are:

Turn bluetooth on/off

Turn cellular data on/off

Turn wi-fi on/off

connect to a specified bluetooth device (headset for example)

launch an app

open a webpage

make a phone call

send an sms/mms

post a FB message

speak current time

speak messages

set sound mode (normal, silent, loud)

set volume settings for media, ringtone/notifications and alarms.

The tags are detected from ~2cm and they still work when my TPU case is on. The back cover should be on in order to get NFC to work so anyone who's planning on using third party covers should make sure that they are NFC-enabled.

One more thing, NFC won't work when the screen is off neither on the lockscreen. I guess this is how NFC work in android in order to increase security (but I remember reading somewhere on xda that there is a workaround for rooted devices).

I hope that this little review helped you. :o
