[NFC Hacking] ASharpEdge:
I have to admit I am one of those people who do not know about its capabilites. I know what it is and have it activated on my phone, but what can I do with it...I do not know besides I think you can tranfer pictures, phone numbers and stuff.

Can someone maybe explain it in more detail and tell us about its uses? Maybe I should have done a search about NFC (Near Field Communications) before I wrote this.

P.S. I wish more people would put the acronym meaning after the acronym, like I did above, in this forum...ooh that gives me an idea!! (light in head goes off!! lol)
[NFC Hacking] miniceki:
I cannot tell you if there is a limit in filesize, but since the biggest NFC tags you can buy at the moment (afaik) are 8kb, anything beyond 1mb is most likely to take to long to be economic.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] F3L1XZS:
I'm interested in being able to roam on Verizon, since Sprint is a POS at my school and home, and I'm constantly loosing messages, and data speeds are very sad. Anyways, I did a quick search and found a guide on changing the PRL to Sprint's "Corporate PRL" which apparently grants roaming with 3G data on Sprint, but it seems as if though that guide is old (Sept 19 from last year) and I'm not sure it'll work on my ROM (AOKP JB) So, does that guide still work? Is it safe? If no, what are my other options?

Also, how much minutes/texts/data usage would piss off Sprint? I've been meaning to switch for a while now...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
It will work fine still. I'm doing it right now. I suggest flashing the Verizon PRL 00002.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] F3L1XZS:
Thank you, kind sir!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mwcarnage:
I don't want to get too deep into this since there is a PRL thread in the forums, but doesn't that one force you to roam all the time? Sprint has a roaming limit of something like 200MB a month; if you go over that they can and frequently will cancel the rest of your contact. Some people do that on purpose, which I don't recommend or advise. If you just want to use your phone when you don't have much of a signal, use a PRL like 11115 along with the app Roam Control, that way you control when the phone roams.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
yes.. oooo2 or w.e is a verizon prl roaming 100%.. i used the sprint corp prl i think 11124 or something which wasnt roaming while set to home only. but would have verizon 3g while in roam only with roam control which is compatible with jb now... however if using verizon eventually u will get a call from sprints roaming team.. and the prl thread is right. just need to be on a tw rom and when u go back to a aosp rom prl will stay until u update it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mac of York:
I use the 11119 PRL that works great when I'm roaming... I roam on Verizon with 3g data and everything, but I'm on Sprint the rest of the time. It works great.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
yea... 11115 & 11119 are older versions of 11124.. 11115 did best for me.. got call from sprint but got my airvana back so no need to roam here anymore :)

Heres the story. My girlfriends wireless has stopped working recently. Doing some reading I found out that there is the hardware isue but she doesnt have the International version, has ATT, completely stock. I didnt have a whole lot of time to diagnose and im not familiar with this phone, have an S3 myself. What I did do was check the signal and it did say excellent and connected. If this was the hardware issue it wouldnt make sense to have any connection at all without the antenna working would it? What it does do is just sits and tries to load webpages like there is no connection while my phone sitting right next to her was just fine so shouldnt be some kind of router isue.I hate asking for noobish help and usually dont have to on the phones I own but I dont have a lot of access to hers and have done some searching with no real answers. If any of you could be kind enough to point me in a direction to figure out if this is hardware or software related and maybe some fixes I would really appreciate it! In the meantime, back to searching.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] antennae:
If you go into WiFi settings, does it actually show the name of the right access point and "connected"? Sometimes you can be associated with an access point but not authenticated, and so you won't get an IP. Perhaps from entering the password incorrectly. Try "forgetting" your router and re-associate.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
What's her software number and have u tried a factory reset
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cgaw70:
Thanks guys. I will try to forget and redo her connection. I did forget to say that this is suddenly happening on the 3 connections she uses almost everyday so not sure if that tells you anything. I do not know her revision number but will get it and no I haven't tried a factory reset either, I was hoping to not have to go that route as I'm sure nothing is backed up at this point and she is pretty phone illiterate, this is her first smartphone and she will freak if things aren't where she put them lol but may have to bite the bullet and do it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] antennae:
Mess around with it a bit, I really don't think it should come down to a factory reset. If all else fails you can also try rebooting the router. Try connecting to another AP. If for some reason you can't connect to ANY WiFi, then maybe factory reset it is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] omario8484:
Well like he said the other phone is fine on the same router. I don't think the router is the issue here
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] xxnu:
Your router doesn't have MAC address filtering on it does it? I know the latest ROMs have changed the MAC address of the devices. Try that maybe?

[Motorola Photon 4G] dwaynet89:
Hello everyone,

I have a question about flashing themes. I am a noob at this so I apologize before hand if this ia a stupid question. I have a photon and I took the ota. I know no ics or unlocking my bootloader. I'm rooted and have bootstrap recovery.

My question is about Peetr_'s GB Hybrid theme. After making a nandroid backup could I just flash the theme by itself without flashing the ROM.

I have rooted a couple phones but never flashed anything so I'm tryna take it slow.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Edit: I found out that I have to flash the rom also
[Motorola Photon 4G] InsanePostman:
yeah you need to flash his v20 rom for locked phones, and then flash the theme. it's worth it though. his hybrid rom is pretty badass and gives us the closest experience to ics that we can get without having an unlocked bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dwaynet89:
Okay thanks for that. If I was going to do that what exactly would I do to flash the rom. I am really new at this and I want to make sure I get it right.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dwaynet89:
Do I wipe factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dal cache then flash rom or just flash rom without wiping anything?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Well it does make since,

/dev/block/**blah blah blah**

But they aren't always the same. Use the dd command to backup what partitions you need into a .IMG file. If you don't know the partitions, lookup in the PIT. Don't know what the PIT is, sorry. Search and read.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
The stuff in dev are devices, block devices and such, essentially, they are file system representations of hardware, you can't backup the files per se , but you can use the references in there to make images of the devices they point to as mentioned.

If you do that, you're essentially doing something akin to what the old style nandroid does with partition images.

Use dd, but get it right, if you write to the wrong place with dd (which is easily done) you'll really bork things.

I really love the ripple effect of the lock screen for the SGS3. Am I able to use it with a different wallpaper (other than stock)? It won't let me select ripple, because I'm using a different picture, but it's not a LWP. Does ripple effect only work with the preselected, stock wallpapers?

In lock screen options are you certain you have ripple effect checked?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kelevro:
Weird thing is:

It was blacked out, but I found out why. I was using a third-party application to set my home screen/lock screen wallpaper. For some ought reason, the phone confused the static pictures with live wallpaper. So, I saved one of the wallpapers and opened it in a photo viewer and set it as my backdrop. Sure enough, when I checked, the "ripple effect box" was no longer grayed out.

I just wanted to ask that can i flash any bootloader to my phone?

I actually want to root it but i cant root it with any damn way... its a bit frustrating because i bought it just for the fact its android.

Its a chinese Mt6573 650Mhz Phone

By the way... what is a baseband?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livefree79:
What is the difference between full sense and sense lite.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingofnice:
Full Sense 4 for is a heavier Rom with all Sense 4 features. This uses more battery and memory.

Sense 4 lite is not a complete Sense 4 but sports most widgets and functionalities of Full Sense 4. Lite features more free memory and a better battery. This is considerably faster and smoother.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wooxeer:
Hi notmevlak!

Yes i totally agree, the Galaxy S is still a very attractive phone and is imo still better than most budget phones in the same price range. I have been running many different roms i all generations (gb, ics and currently jb) and I have to say that JB is amazing on the galaxy S. Iam currently running a stock rom ported from the Galaxy nexus with a galaxy s3 theme (Launcher and everything) and It's silky smooth! Almost no lags at all if youre thinking about the UI.

You can find that rom on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1902777

The best way to find a rom that suits your needs is to try them all. I see myself as a real flasholic hehe, it's like youre getting a new phone each time :)

Good luck! And if youre wondering about anything else, feel free to ask!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plitshec:
What does lag mean to you?

I guess part of the answer is related to how you define 'lag'...

I have been running CM10 for about a month or so and been really impressed with how fast my GalaxyS runs on Jelly Bean. I haven't tried some of the other roms because CM10 does everything I need really well. I am coming from the earlier GB 2.3.3 version and for me, JB is way faster on this phone. From my experience, similar to many other posts I have read, installing JB was like getting a new phone.

In reality, some apps take a a few seconds to load and you can tell when a given app is taxing the system but to me this is acceptable knowing we only have a single core processor and 512 Mb. I can listen to any song, watch any youtube video and play most games and apps I have tried. It's not perfection and certainly a dual core or quad core rig with 2 gig of memory would be better but you won't get anything like that for $100 or less.

I would never consider a win phone simply because it would be pretty much a dead end for apps...while this phone can still run any app I have tried short of the super intensive games that need a tegra or something...

Will I get a new phone when my contract is up? Sure, if its free. Will this phone do me for another year until then? I'm pretty sure it will...

FYI: CM10 just updated to JB 4.1.2 last night...only a day after it was released for the Nexus 7.

My 2 cents...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dharlem39:
atm i have the galaxy s, had it since it came out and haven't upgraded since (either didn't feel the need to or too financially challenged lol).

Anyhow, I was on GB roms for ages but changed to JB ones (skipped ICS altogether), and i gotta say the SGS does a fine job running JB. If you're worried about lag and battery problems, I can safely say that the phone handle JB beautifully. You'll probably need to charge the phone at the end of every day but there's not worries about lag or any other issues. Battery drain was my main concerning but I've figured out that you can get the phone lasting off one charge if you turn off wifi and 3G when you aren't using the internet. You won't be able to play games on it for hours but i barely use the phone for games since im bored of them all.
