That's what's meant to happen. You do have root but adb root doesn't work on stock ROMs. You need to a adb shell and then su.

Please can you explain a little more? Cause when a fastboot and flashover the CMW it stands FAILED: The device must be rooted first, but i have rooted so ye...

Thx

To flash CWM you not only need to be rooted but also have an unlocked boot loader.

Hi,

Dont think anyone else has posted yet, but got a update for Mobile Odin the other day that added Note 2 (N7100) support... i havent tried it yet since it arrived after id already flashed and rerooted the recent UK update, but should make the next rom easier to install (especially given that the built in update doesnt work on a modified device)

will be interesting to find out if the 'cannot update as modified' message is triggered by having a non-standard recovery (CWM) or by having the root binary itself installed

Wouldnt mind a trigangle away port at this point, but not looking like its going to happen... hope i dont need warranty support...

The last version was 3.3.0, is it a higher number now? Can`t check it myself ;) Now thar the scources are in the open Triangle Away will be updated soon mate.
[Galaxy Note II General] Lennyuk:
It checks for modified kernel or recovery images, root itself does not make the device class itself as modified.

Plus people did post about MobileOdin.

You can thank me for asking chainfire to update the app when he did, and for being the guinea pig in testing it before release (which included one bootloop that left me without a device for 3 hours)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellboar:
Can anyone tell me an easy way to just replace the cm10 google search bar in the launcher with the transparent one from ICS/cm9? I don't want a full theme or anything, just the transparent search bar. I'm assuming its in the Launcher.apk ? Is it "safe" to just use the ics launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nordpolcamper:
The easiest way is to use Nova Launcher or Apex Launcher. In both you can enable the search bar and choose the style
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lwfb:
Open up both the ICS launcher and CM10 launcher with 7zip.

Navigate to res/drawable-xhdpi

Find the file search_frame.9.PNG from the ICS launcher.

Copy and paste that file into the same path in the CM10 launcher and close it.

Then copy the CM10 launcher to system/apps on your phone and set permissions to 644 (-rw-r--r--) and reboot.

There you go! Simple enough.

I've also got a search_frame.9.PNG that's completely transparent (no border or background) so let me know if you want that one!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Hello everyone, I'm a longtime Sprint user, and am looking forward to my switch to Verizon very soon! I currently own an EVO 4G LTE, and am taking a look at what phones I should get when I switch companies. The best available phone right now appears to undoubtedly be the SIII.

I have heard that there are some pretty awesome phones on the horizon, and I would love to get them (HTC's apparent phablet, Razr Maxx HD, etc.). However, I really don't think I can wait until November because I can't possibly tolerate Sprint anymore and their ridiculous lack of coverage in my area (they told me the towers are being upgraded for the past 7 months).

So my question is this: is there any way to delay my upgraded phone price so that I can use it once these newer phones are released? In other words, can I use another phone or do something else in order to not use that contract upgrade until November, even if I sign up for their service this week? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you would just go get the SIII if you were in my position, that's useful input too. I love the phone, I just feel like it will be "dated" in a month. Seems like the worst possible time to buy... I'm in a pickle. :confused:

Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
I don't know the answer to your question but I just switched to Verizon from sprint and got the S3. Waiting on it in the mail now. I don't think u can do what u want but im not sure. Hopefully someone can answer it for sure

You would have to purchase a phone at full retail price. Then you could get the pro rated price later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fenixnr:
Or he could buy a phone off craigslist and go in there with one already...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
This is an interesting idea - so I would need to find a Verizon-capable smartphone on Craigslist as cheap as possible, and then use the "upgrade" later when I want?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jaben2:
Another option would be do the pre paid route until you find a phone you want, then jump on contract.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I had not thought of this option yet, although the thought of going pre-paid doesn't appeal to me for some reason. I doubt my wife would go for it either. I have heard that pre-paid is getting more popular though - any suggestions for going pre-paid if I do explore that route? There's so many options out there now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slacker101:
Go to the galaxy nexus forum and look at the threads that say prepaid service guides or something similar. One of them says "rule your plan with..." they all talk about the best prepaid plans for the money.

Here is one of the more popular ones http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455014

Obviously you don't have to do it with a nexus, you can use one of the prepaid ****ty phones. They just talk about the plans there. When I read it a long time ago most of them involved getting the prepaid phone and then switching out the sim card so you could just chill with the original phone until something interesting comes out on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Wouldn't that be essentially the same thing as buying a phone and going month to month on Verizon until getting the phone he wants at a pro-rated price and contract? ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Only difference would be pre-paid may be cheaper, if I'm reading your message correctly.

Also, thanks for the quick replies everyone! I look forward to joining this community soon. Looks like I'll be getting an SIII this week. If it was just me, I'd employ one of these ideas you guys gave me. But since my wife is included... I'm gonna go the simple route and get the SIII, which was equivalent to my current phone anyway (EVO 4G LTE). Seems like it has the dev support to last the two years like my old EVO 4G did (it can run JB now - amazing). Plus the extra RAM future proofs it a bit. I don't game, so I don't need quad core I doubt. The S4 chip is a beast anywho.

Thanks again guys! See you in the forums soon!

Oh one last quick question: any issues I'll have rooting and unlocking this phone? I've only owned HTC and been with Sprint, so I'm unsure of how to do all of this. I hear Verizon is not very friendly about unlocking phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
It was just a pain in the ass to get it unlocked to begin with. Since it's been figured out it's simple. Bookmark the guide in my sig, Droidstyle did a good job about laying it all out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdk2:
The bootloader can be unlocked easily, obtaining root is a simple one-click affair, and VZW has never been friendly about anything but your open wallet. Congrats on the new phone and carrier switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Okay that sounds good, thank you!

I was concerned mostly because with my phone, only the non-updated ones can be rooted and unlocked right now. Since I had mine since launch day, my original bootloader was able to be hacked and exploited. New phones bought today have different bootloaders that have patched the explored holes. HTC can be evil that way. I know Samsung is more dev friendly, but I wanted to make sure there were no stipulations like with my phone where I would be screwed if I bought a new one now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
If you are going to wait 3 weeks you might as well wait for the note 2. Just my two cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
There's still no release date on the Note 2 is there?

Plus I'm not sure a phone that large is for me. I'm getting the Note 10.1 soon, so do I need a phone that's a tablet too? I'm not sure. Plus I won't pay over 200 for a phone. I'm guessing the Note 2 will go for 300 or more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mcp2009:
When I switched to Verizon from T-Mobile in December I went month to month on an OG Droid I owned until the GNex came out and then I upgraded

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Clienterror:
I dunno it isn't horrible, 30 minutes of screen on is 15% so if you put it in a ratio 15x6 gives you 90% then 30 min x 6 gives you 3 hours of screen on time with 10% left roughly if you used the phone the same way for 3 hours. Like I said it isn't horrible but not spectacular. You can try limiting the notifications you get like fb or games and stuff. I recommend you try gsam battery monitor, it breaks down what uses your battery into very detailed sections so you can see if you have rogue apps and stuff.

Hi,

I have here a simple mod for the stock sony liveview watch band to facilitate charging without taking out the liveview at its retaining base. I would just like to share this simple mod so that anyone with a broken tabs that clips the liveview in place can use their stock watchband again (Mine broke the other day:( ,the engineer who design this thing must be fired) or for those anybody that would like to use their stock watchband and was tired of constantly taking out their liveview for charging. This mod will allow the liveview to be charged still attached to the stock watchband. (Caution; Pics are very huge....sorry). Liveview app has a recently updated so it improves connectivity but no auto connect yet. Otherwise I'm enjoying it more now on jellybean than previously where it stays more of its time inside my desk unused, so for now will be using it more frequently.

Materials needed are the following:

a. Long nose flier (preferred as it allow small length bending of the paper clip)

b. paper clip

c. super glue (for those with broken tabs)

http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd501/gorgycuads/IMG_20121008_105705.jpg?t=1349708425

Steps:

1. Cut, measure and shape the paper clip according to the image shown. Remember to measure the lenght of the clips and its bending in proportion where the retaining pin is attached to the watch base. ( I would not explain further as a picture is worth a thousand words)

http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd501/gorgycuads/IMG_20121008_105715.jpg?t=1349708412

2. when done, remove the stock retaining pin from the watchband. You will have to enlarge the hole where the retaining pin is attached to the base of your live view by using the extra paper clip and heating the tip of it using a gas stove, a candle or anything at your own convenience. (Be careful with this procedure, take extra caution). While the tip of the paper clip is still red hot immediately insert it to the hole and take it out afterwards and do the opposite side.

3. Now that the hole is larger, and your modded paper clip pin is ready to be inserted to the notch. Now replace the stock retaining pin with your modded paper clip retaining pin and place it back. Put your liveview back. For those with broken tabs super glue on the back of your liveview and put it back allow the glue to dry for several minutes.

Here are some pics in action: You still retain factory look and gain some convenience charging with the port without removing anything( except for the rubber cover which you will still have to open). Enjoy:D (Sorry if I have made some grammatical error or did not explain properly as english is not my primary language).

Could use some advice.

This thing has a TINY battery and doesn't use that much power.

As a watch mode it's in the light all the time. What if we never had to plug it in to charge it again... but instead kept it plugged in the whole time to a solar watch strap?

ebay has these (which, two, in series relation might work)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PowerFilm-F...00918136469?pt=UK_Gadgets&hash=item2ec7a77695

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thin-Film-F...489?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a81313771

and my favorite (one of these might work... don't think their calculation can be right: e.g. 2V *420mA = .84W

So if we .84W / 5V = .168 = 168ma that's more than standard usb @ 100ma and should give enough juice over 8 hours of office and sunlight right? Plus this thing is waterproof and looks sick (they even have a black one now too).

for dirt cheap that puts out decent charge ... anyone have any ideas how to fashion one of these (or two) into a watchstrap?

Perhaps solder on a male micro usb that will couple to liveview on that side and then a regular watch pin on the other side.

Wouldn't this generate enough energy to never have to plug in and allow unlimited use?

50ma * 8hours a day??? for a 100mah ish battery?

Am I missing something here?

The only issue I see is the voltage... usb needs 5V +/- .25ish?

Would one use a voltage regulator?

Any input greatly appreciated. I'm more software than EE.

Thanks,

Frank

IT WORKS! IT'S ACTUALLY CHARGING! View attachment 2015449

View attachment 2015450

Just need to clean it up a bit and do some testing. But it is indeed charging.
[General Accessories] FLESH KILLA:
How did you do that???

Nice!

Just ordered a liveview the otherday for $20 from amazon. Can't wait for it to get here! How did you get the solar strip to charge it, that's a great idea?
[General Accessories] willfck4beer:
Just need to get a solar band to be about 5v. Ebay has cheap voltage converters with usb outputs. I'm soldering on a male micro usb and removing female full size usb port. I cut the end of the charger that came with the live view off... only two cables inside. Having some weird results though. Will report more after some more tinkering.
[General Accessories] willfck4beer:
Goddamnit. I cant figure it out. It doesn't seem to be working. The charging indicator light comes on and the screen charging icon indicator shows charging. But even when the device is off and left on the charger... no charge seems to accumulate in the battery.

Not sure if the voltage regulator efficiency is to blame resulting in sub 100ma output??? (This seems to be the case as my phone doesn't report charging). But why would liveview report charging but never charge?

The other possibility is that I need to incorporate a diode, like an led, inline to keep current flowing back from liveview to boost converter when a cloud goes over? Oddly, if I disconnect solar cell... liveview seems to illuminate an led built into regulator. Odd!

This morning I charged for about twenty minutes and when I disconnected, the charging light stayed illuminated for several minutes and liveview would not respond.

Anyone have any ideas?

I'm hoping I don't have to incorporate a tiny rechargeable coin battery intermediate to liveview and the solar cell.
[General Accessories] FLESH KILLA:
I don't know much about electrical setups but it sounds like the current is flowing into the liveview, then back to the converter and is circulating in and out. Basically, the solar strip is charging the liveview, and at the same time the liveview is powering the converter. This would explain the led staying on after it had been disconnected as the remaining charge in the battery was sent to the voltage converter. Did you try disconnecting everything (usb cable and all) after charging it?
[General Accessories] willfck4beer:
Not yet. Been busy at work. But dying to try. I agree with your assessment. Wish I had an extra led to isolate so there was no backwards flow.
[General Accessories] willfck4beer:
I'm hitting 59.6milliamps on an overcast day with a portion of the panel covered.

Usb provides 100ma max non-negotiated. I'm seeing the liveview pulling 74ma from a usb computer outlet. Getting close!

There seems to be some accumulation. I'm thinking of incorporating a tiny rechargeable nimh coincell to balance everything out and provide more current. I don't see any negative current flowing from live view beyond the voltage converter to the ammeter. Successfully charged my bt headset. Getting there.

I've got, what I hope, is a more efficient converter on the way.
[General Accessories] willfck4beer:
Never run out of battery again on liveview:

Charge from your phone!!!

Otg male micro to micro usb will charge the live view from note2 usb.

3300mah note2 battery at about 100ma to live view's 100ish... while liveview provides an awesome second screen! And remote control/ game D pad plus select. Sick!!! Fxuck yeah

Phone remote.

My note 2 is so big... I need a remote.

In the hood don't even need to whip out note2. There's some serious benefits here.

Schematic attached for my idea of male to male plug to charge liveview from phone:

*Data (D+/D-) generally green and white wires not needed.

*Depending on the orientation of your phone port and whether you want second screen face up (as I do) then there's this difficult twist.

Use the shield to send GND and maybe a conductive ink pen to draw a trace from 1 to 5.

*4 and 5 on OTG side must be coupled for phone to detect OTG.

*Not sure how the phone will react to seeing pins 2/3 D+/D- as open. Hope this works. I think it will.

My phone charges the liveview using a 2 conductor cable... so they should show open anyway.

*if your phone connector is reversed or you don't care about the orientation (which might be nice in some configs)... this is a **** ton easier. Only need to couple two male micro-b to male micro-b with all connectors going straight through. (and couple 4 and 5).

Schematic up just FYI FWIW.

ONE CAVEAT to this. Without the data cables you can't negotiate for higher current above 100mA. But for bluetooth peripherals and liveview... this should be quite sufficient.
