So I'm trying to setup hotspot using the 20$ a month data on tmo but can't get it setup can anyone help?
[HTC One S] TheArtiszan:
I assume you mean the fully unlimited 20$ on value plan or you have the 2gb on a classic plan?

For official support of the network need either the 5gb or 10gb plan that includes tethering.

Neither of these plans thru T-Mobile will allow hotspot to work directly but there are work arrounds

If you have android 4.0.3 yet just make a new apn with any name and for the apn field "epc.tmobile.com" (without the quotes) leaving everything else blank and that will work then. If you are rooted same thing applies.

If you have the new android 4.0.4 there is no way yet to make built in work ok you can use foxfi but screen has to be left on for it to work. As soon as screen goes off your data stops unless you are streaming a movie or something.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] superhtchd2:
ok this may be a simple thing im overlooking. at my work whenever i connect to wifi it asks for identity then password. with the photon it never asks for identity or i cant find a option to type the identity in therefore i cannot connect to wifi at work. it really sux cause i get bad coverage at work and rely on wifi. i know on some HTC phones i had in the past it would make me set up a screen lock for some reason before connecting, not sure if the motorola has some trick too but i cant figure this out and sprint customer care isnt much help either. anyone have any ideas?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Unfortunately you didn't specify the type of wifi your work uses?

It's obviously something beyond WPA/2... So what is it?

I found this thread on PEAP. See post #5 for a potential solution... Perhaps this will help with PEAP and other types? I'm not very familiar with the more advanced, enterprise forms of wifi unfortunately.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] superhtchd2:
the main one i always connect to just says 802.1? some do say wpa and wep .. sorry im not familiar with the terminology of wifi networks. i just know i always hit connect and type the identity and password and im on.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] superhtchd2:
ill try that app mentioned in the link.. thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] superhtchd2:
that worked! first phone ive owned were i needed a app to connect to a wifi network..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
I have just done one and it took me no longer then 2 minutes is this normal ??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JBakey:
Yeah that's normal. Write speeds to internal memory are quite fast. Last backup I made took 130 seconds. 300+mb system, 650+mb data. Its all normal
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Thing is when i go to my cwm folder and long press "system" or "data" they are just like 20/30 mb files each so kinda worried ..

And then there is a file called blobs and file size is 1.7gb am i safe ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] khoikn:
I have done backups that were around 2 minutes as well.

Don't worry about the size of the actual backup, mine are only about 23mb and every time I restore it works perfectly fine.

I can understand where you're coming from, the backups on my HP Touchpad take 10-12 minutes each and are about 1 gig.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Yeah it was about 5-7 minutes on my sensation just dont want a brick im doing anything i can to not make that happen..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
You need to use tar mode. backup and restore > backup method > tar.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
And if i dont will i still be able to restore my backups normally ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
The default backup method is "incremental" as opposed to "full", or dup and tar respectively. I don't know what was going through the mind of the mad genius who wrote it - but it was a bad call. I never have, and never will trust incremental backups.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chrisram88:
Whether it's "incremental" or " full" it always works fine for me. I switched to twrp so idk how this backup is made...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shahkam:
Now im even more confused... all i want is safely restore my nandroid lol..
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
TWRP runs full backups. v6 still does it, but not by default.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] otariq:
So if I backup a rom and switch to a different rom but then do a full wipe and restore backup from original rom it'll still be okay even if it's the "incremental" backup?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nomad3018:
I have not been able to use my Transformer Prime for a few months now (I'm in the military) and obviously the battery died. The problem is, I cant get it to turn on at all now. The power cable connectors look fine, and it always worked before this. Does anyone have any advice? My Prime is rooted and running Virtuous Rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwineon:
I would assume something wrong with the power supply or port inside the device. I have a prime that I am parting out if you need any parts. The only thing that is unusable is the system board on mine (due to a bad flash).

Best of luck figuring it out!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nomad3018:
Well neither the tablet nor the dock are charging. Would that indicate a bad power cord more than anything else?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fireplug:
Normally I think it has to get up to I think a 5% charge before it will turn on but not sure if this is what you are describing or if you have let it stay plugged in for some time and it is not charging. That would seem like a hardware issue then.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Yes, I would think so! It's a known issue. If the dock charged and not the tablet that would be anothet thing. Do you get a light in either when plugged?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
Yes, I was going to ask if you saw the little red/green glow coming from teh tablet On button (VERY small hole, easier to see in dark) or the mor obvious LED next to the charging port on the dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nomad3018:
I checked and nope there's no light on the tablet or keyboard. Ill swing by best buy tonight and get a new cord. Thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
SanDisk 128gb Micro-USB OTG Flash drive
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skadebo:
No, because it is way too niche.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cableguy1:
That is perfect! You should make it, get rich with it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
What if the next generation of ultra portables has one or a couple of these in addition to the full size USB. It would encourage flash memory makers to start making micro USB flash drives (with built in OTG)?

If consumers demand it, then someone somewhere will supply it? China makes tons of niche products.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
SoC manufacturers should just stop messing around and give us the large amounts of local storage we've been asking for. I can buy a 128GB flash drive that is smaller than a stick of gum, yet somehow 64GB of storage in a much larger tablet or smartphone is seen as uneconomical.

If this were desktop computers we were talking about, cloud storage would be the niche and massive local storage would be the norm. It's like nobody remembers the days when the biggest selling point of the iPod was the storage capacity. You can still get an iPod Classic with 160GB of space for only $250, but a 64GB iPhone costs $300 more than the 16GB version.

I'm convinced the flash memory market is basically a racket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danboard:
There are different types of flash memory in terms of reliability, speed, and cost. Most of the time when you talk about flash memory you're referring to NAND or NOR type memory.

NAND is cheaper to produce and is commonly used in USB drives, MP3 players, etc. due to its higher storage capacities but suffers from poor read speeds which a smartphone heavily relies on. This is where NOR memory comes in, its MUCH more expensive than NAND but gives the read performance that devices like smartphones need to simultaneously for example play music, launch an app, etc. without bringing the phone to a complete halt. This explains why the cost of storage on tablets/phones per gigabyte is much higher than for example a flash drive.

Also this:

That uses a small hard drive not flash based memory making it even cheaper in terms of gigabyte per dollar than flash memory. In general we don't use hard drives in tablets and smartphones because as a trade off you lose reliability, power consumption, and not to mention its physical size (Theres a reason the iPod classic is so thick).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
you do realize that almost all phones use NAND
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
This.

Desktops use DRAM for memory-intensive processes, and slower HDD-based storage for secondary media. There is no reason why a smartphone can't have 1GB of NOR reserved for the OS and RAM, and a secondary NAND-based volume for apps, games, music, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jomaxro:
s

I agree with earlyberd. This is exactly how people have been doing it with SSDs in computers for a while. While large SSD devices are typically prohibitively expensive. up to 7 times the cost per GB, putting a small <200 GB SSD in a computer, coupled with a larger HDD, gives both the performance for the OS and apps, and the amount of storage needed for large media libraries or work documents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eliott:
The difference in cost between the two amounts of memory is just a few dollars.

It is highly likely that the the cheap version costs MORE to produce than the expensive one.

The reason they do it is what economists call 'price targeting'

Basically, they could sell you the 64GB for the same price as the 16GB version and still make a profit. But they would lose out heavily on all those people who would have happily paid another $300 for the same product.

In an economist's perfect world Apple would sell just the 64 GB version for the manufacturing cost plus 'whatever the customer can afford', be that $20, $200 or even $2,000. This way they could maximise their profits.

But we all know they can't do that so instead they provide two versions of pretty much the same product, one for poor people and one for those with a bit more cash to flash.

Businesses have been doing this for years; second class train carriages, overpriced extras in coffee shops, different models of printers etc. The cost to the manufacturer of adding the extra 'luxury' is minimal but it encourages richer people to reveal they have more money to spend.

Hell, Amazon took the who thing one step further when they added a tracking cookie that would change the listed price of their products depending on whether you were a new or returning customer. Two people looking at the same DVD at the same time would see two very different prices (unless they deleted the cookies off their pc.

So yeah, it sucks ass for us consumers, but I don't see the problem going away any time soon. In fact I expect it to get worse and for more phone/tablet manufacturers to remove the sd slot altogether. This is a trick they won't give up on easily.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wscott66:
I'll give away the secrete sauce which is how Flash vendors should be making their drives...

Have you seen most of the multi-cables avaialbe now, which include a "Magnetic" end which adapts to Micro, Lightning, Type-C?

Well why hasn't this made its way to the flash media?

Why make your flash device fixed to one platform... Make it universal like cable manufacturers are!

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

And if that doesnt work, todats young generation loves keeping their fingers busy, now with the spinners. why not make a spinner flash drive?

Each of the 4 ends can have a different connector (eg: Type A, Type C, Micro, Lightning) it could be balanced by the caps so it works like a true spinner, but have flash storage, lights, you name it...

I need to stop giving away all these good concepts and get a job with a company to produce them!

Anyone Hiring? :o

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruzaders:
Hello,

Before i went to sleep i flashed franco's kernel v15 (yes, i'm using ICS lol) but didn't test anything

I always sleep with a glass of water near my bed, you may know now what happened lol. While i was sleeping I accidentally hit the glass of water and barely wet my phone, it was like:

As you can perfectly see at the image above, just thin water film wet the phone, i removed the battery and I waited until perfectly dry. Inserted the battery again and everything was working very well... until the devil night comes >.>

I connected the charger and nothing happened. Tried to connect on PC... again, nothing happened. And now it doesn't charge the battery / pc does not recognize the phone (doesn't show on devices list).

UNLESS

I have a universal charger (the one u put the battery on and it charges up) and it charges the battery, and if I put the battery back on the phone, the phone charges the battery again o.0, and if i disconnect and connect the cable it stop charging O______O

Can someone help me?

I know that I should lead to technical assistance, but takes too much time to fix phones in brazil, maybe a simple battery replacement could fix (if had battery is shorted)

PS: I first though the kernel was the problem and not the fact that I almost washed my phone roflmao
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivelafrance:
If the battery charges well on an external charger, to me, it means it's not a battery issue but maybe a connector issue on the phone.

You didn't use a hair dryer to dry your phone, did you? lol

The first step would be to try with another battery to check if it works.

Have you tried to factory reset your phone just in case (although I doubt it would do anything but....)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruzaders:
Yes, flashed another kernel, another rom (from ics to JB). Cleaned STweaks settings and init.d folder.

I didn't use the hair dryer lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0rfeo:
Check the input of the charger it must be sulfured (i think its something like that) my phone had something kind of wet but the input was full of sulfur and just needed to be cleaned
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruzaders:
What did you use to clean?

PS: There's no oxidation products at first sight
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruzaders:
It's now charging everytime I connect the plug, but still can't transfer items from PC->S3 :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuflo:
It could be oxidation on the internal usb connector. The charger lines are probably clean enough to charge, but the data lines are still oxidized, therefore no detection on PC. If you're careful enough, you could clean the contacts with a very small needle or a pin. Just brushing with the tip over the contacts.

Or try connecting the usb cable many times, that might brush off the contacts... like in, out, in, out... ( no need for jokes :P )
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiahnlliya:
I would take the battery out and submerge the phone without its battery cover in rice for a few days, that should suck all the moisture out of it.

I tried the fix for the cell standby issue described in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32594918, by going the long way. Trying to find the file and changing the values myself. I checked the file sizes and made sure permissions on framework-res.apk were set correctly and copied it over to /system/framework. In this process my SGS3 froze and then the screen went blank. Trying to turn the phone on after the initial Samsung animation, the logo keeps flashing but nothing happens. I can boot into recovery mode but I hate to wipe/factory reset as I don't have a nandroid backup.

By the way, I have only rooted and installed busybox and on stock ROM.
