Maybe it’s just me, but the latest rendition of the Google contacts is acceptable at best.

First, I wish it allowed the dark theme (seen when accessing the dialer) to be consistent.

Second, the individual contact image upscales to a blurry mess at the top. They could at least allow us to retain the original size.

Also, once the contacts shortcut is removed from the home screen, it can’t be re-added. Contacts is not in the app drawer.

Do you see the same thing?

[Captivate Themes and Apps] robm1911:
Look for people in app drawer. That's your contacts.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] SaintDanBert:
re: lost contact "shortcut" on phone desktop

Open your Apps/Widgets display and select Widgets.

Page over and locate these:

Contact 1x1

Direct Dial 1x1

Direct Message 1x1

When you add any of these to your desktop, your contacts app opens so that you can select one

specific contact. Once selected, you get to select

the whole contact, or

one of the available phone numbers, or

one of the available message targets.

The latter two will take immediate action when you launch the widget.

The 'Contact' widget will ViewContact so that you might choose what you want to do.

In addition to these singletons, there are also:

Favorite Contacts 4x2

Favorite Contacts 4x4

Favorite Apps 4x4 ..... for completeness

Favorite Settings 4x4 ..... for completeness

I hope this helps,

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anomandaris:
I don't know where to put this but since I'm trying to use it on my Fire I'll put it here. I have the BIOS pathed and GameBoid's latest version installed. I try to load a rom and it starts for half a second then goes back to the file directory to pick a rom.

Any help would be appreciated.

PS: I have other emulators working, so...

I also have CM10, maybe that's the problem.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarman:
That's odd.....I just tested Gameboid version 2.4.7 on a CM10 ROM and it ran fine. Maybe try a different version of Gameboid? Maybe the BIOS file has been corrupted? Which CM10 ROM are you using exactely.....I'm using twa_priv's CM10/Linaro
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarman:
Good idea :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anomandaris:
I'm using that same CM10 and I've tried downloading the ROMS from multiple sites to no avail. Just says GameBoid is running and goes back to the rom select.

I'm using GameBoid 2.4.7 or whatever the latest version from the official site is.

I've also tried two different BIOS downloads.

Can one of you upload your BIOS file/the GameBoid apk/a Pokemon ROM that you've seen working? This is pretty frustrating. The DS version worked and ran great until I actually got into the game and it was incredibly slow, so DS isn't happening.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarman:
This is a zip file containing the Gameboid 2.4.7 apk, a Pokemon ROM (confirmed working) and the GBA BIOS that worked fine on my Kindle. If it still doesn't work you might want to do a factory reset and if it still doesn't work, re-flash the ROM. Hope it helps :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anomandaris:
Yeah they don't work. Damnit. It's probably not worth doing a factory reset, thanks for the help though.

I tried "MyBoy Lite" and it works. I'm not worried about being able to save state so lite isn't a big deal.

Well you could try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery to see if it works but u'll lose all ur settings but not the apps themselves

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cmdrfrog:
If i understand LTE and radio stuff, 700Mhz is the lowest band used by verizon for its LTE service. 1x CDMA and EV-DO use higher bands. LTE should therefore have the best penetration into buildings and such. And if you have a 4G phone, it naturally attempts to prefer 4G LTE when possible.

So why is it that my phone is on 3G most of the time? Why would a 3G signal be easier for my phone to hang onto than 4G, when the band used for 4G travels better? Shouldnt it be falling up instead? Furthermore, why is it that when things are REALLY bad it can hang onto a "2G" signal (showing a 1X icon) since that uses even less penetrating frequencies?

The only thing I can think about is tower density and somehow verizon allocating more of its available spectrum to serve older networks. If thats the case then does anyone know if they will ever get with it and shutdown the older networks so that those of us with modern phones can stay on 4G all the time?

Yes I know LTE drains battery, but searching for signals and switching up and down is even worse!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shimp208:
Essentially, the frequency penetration is different no matter where you go based on a whole host of factors ranging from, building type (Materials used to construct the building), weather, interference from other radio devices and electronic equipment. Simply put a multitude of factors (A lot of which are beyond your control unfortunately) lead to some spots having great 4G LTE coverage and a spot that's a foot away having "2G" (1x). These articles might be of interest to you and answer some of your questions: Radio frequency, Frequency bandwidth, and Bandwidth efficiency. Hope this helps :).
[Motorola Atrix HD] themare:
Hi, my screen is stuck on a grey screen and there is absolutely nothing I can do to get out of this grey screen. Yes, my screen still works is not damaged. I want to try turning off and on or restarting my phone to see if I can get rid of this grey screen, but I am not able to by the normal way. When I press the power button, the power off options do not appear, its probably masked under the grey screen, which I cannot touch through. I have tried pressing and holding the power button, but nothing happens. I am not able to remove the battery and put it back in because the Atrix HD's battery is nonremovable.

How do I manually restart my Atrix HD?
[Motorola Atrix HD] ekramsam:
Keep holding the power and volume down key.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Dark9781:
Hold the power and up volume keys until it restarts. Holding the power and down volume keys triggers the screenshot feature.

I had the exact problem described above- Grey screen. Tried restarting as stated - power button + volume up key. Phone restarted and the grey screen issue is resolved. Thanks.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ridge:
Alright so this isn't anything related to mods at all. It's the phone itself.

So I was going to play some Dead Trigger, nothing big, minding my own business. I slide up the screen to put my fingers on the gaming buttons. After a while the phone got hot (as usual), so I decided to turn off the game and slide down the screen.

This is where it happened. The screen got stuck halfway, so I slide it back up again to check behind it.

This little thing was pulled down:

(Not my image, thanks to anandtech.com for the picture!)

See that little square in the red circle? You might be thinking: "But that's normal!".

Well I had this case of slightly broken phone. I got it from a friend that had a skating accident with it so it was pulled up all the time.

So I'm thinking that's what stuck it, and tried to slide the screen down again, but instead of the screen getting stuck I hear a loud CLICK and the screen turned off. :eek:

And not from the circuit board but rather like the kind of click that you hear when breaking a glowstick. I couldn't turn the phone on so I took the battery out, put it in again and tried to turn it on.

The vibration that activates when you turn it on worked like normal, but then nothing else. The screen doesn't turn on at all, nor does it properly boot either I think. When I plug it in my computer I hear the windows "device connected" sound, but I can't access it.

So what do you guys think? Is it fixable? Did I just royally **** it up? :confused:

Feel free to ask if you find my explanation confusing.

[HTC Amaze 4G] F9zSlavik:
I have a question. Does Google design Android to work with Samsung out of the box or is Android releases first and then given to Samsung to the OS work with its phone?

I'm trying to understand why companies are behind on their updates for Android. Why does Samsung get the updates before any other phone.

Forgive my noobness, is it not like Windows where you can install it on any machine, and once you have all drivers, you can make full use of the computer, whether it's intel base chipset or amd. Isn't not this simple, you install an Android on a phone, get the drivers, your done.

Is it up to every manufacture to make the new OS work on their phone?

Got into a debate with a friend, read an article how Samsung is in bed with Google and that is why they get their newest and greatest before anyone else. Is this correct?

You are the first user with this model, so I don't know how did you rooted your device, and what's your recovery ? You don't give a lot infos.

Are you unlocked ? If not, I think that you should be unlock your device if you want a root to JB

Click on my sig, and you will find all the links and tools that you need.and for unlock, you can use the Asus tool Unlock v.7

and finally, for retrieve your root, use this process which works for the TF300T

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
Like quite a few people I've been having problems with my S3 dropping the wifi connection, even though though I have "keep wifi on during sleep" set to Always (and have turned off wifi powersave mode using *#0011#). The connection also sometimes drops when the screen is on and actually downloading content.

I've tried various CheckROM and Wanam Lite builds and they're all had the same problem.

Is anyone running a Jellybean build that doesn't drop the wifi connection when in sleep mode?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
That has nothing to do with the S III.

I was having this problem with both my S II and S III, tried several kernels in both, but then I found out the problem was with my network configuration.

I changed a few settings in my wi-fi access-point and now everything works correctly.

This is my setup:

- Wireless Multicast Forward (WMF) -> OFF/DISABLED

- WiFi Protcted Setup(WPS) -> OFF/DISABLED

- Auth -: WPA2-PSK with AES

Note: WPA2-PSK doesn`t work well with TKIP because if the phone by any chance falls back to 802.11a/b, TKIP will fail and the phone won`t authenticate

- 54g™ Rate: Auto

- XPress™ Technology: OFF/DISABLED

- 54g™ Mode: 54g Auto

- 54g™ Protection: Auto

- WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) : OFF/DISABLED

Actually, if I enable WMM(Wi-Fi Multimedia) my phone will sometimes not even connect to the access point. I found that disabling WMM had the best impact in my network`s stability.

Besides, I used an app called Wi-Fi Analyzer (free from the Play Store) that tells you what nearby wi-fi networks use which channel. I chose a channel that nobody was using and was more isolated from all the others. Do not leave channel in AUTO mode, because the AP might choose one that has lots of traffic.

In my house (where the setup above is installed) I have several neighbours using channels 1 to 8, but nobody using channels 9, 10, 11. SO I chose 11 because it has absolutely no interference from channel 8.

Ouch... better tell the guy to just shoot himself in the foot!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelbeans:
I'm EXACTLY the same.

I've been having Wifi dropout issues on every JB rom, was fine on ICS.

Tried power saver off (#*0011#).

Wifi sleep policies

Reflashing and flasihng other roms

Flashed different kernels

Flashed different modems

Fix permissions

various wifi fixers from the market.

AND IVE TRIED MANY MANY wireless access points around and about the country, all have the same issue (its not access point settings dependant)

All dont make a scrap of difference.

It makes Skype calls a nightmare.

One thing that i think helps, and im not 100% sure, but havent noticed any dropouts when applying this fix:

Root Explorer:

Turn off wifi. Mount R/W , go to efs/ and etc/ and /data/misc -> all three of these have a wifi folder in there. Set the permissions to rxrxrx (tick all 9 boxes) on each of these folders. And then turn wifi on again. And its USUALLY okay...

If you restart you will have to change the data/misc permissions again as it resets (so does the #*0011# trick).

Have a go, see what you think - i think it sort of works for me... but again, not entirely sure.

Hope this helps someone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm:
It seems that Jelly Bean is also more sensitive about it than ICS - I never had these problems with ICS.

My wireless routers don't have all of the settings that you'd listed - only these:

Buffalo router:

- Encryption (set to AES WPA-PSK - WPA2 is not available)

- Key renewal period (set to 60 mins)

- AOSS button (set to disabled)

- Wireless Mode (set to 11g/11b auto, but have also tried 11g only - "54M Turbo" )

- BSS BasicRateSet (set to Default)

- Multicast rate (set to Auto)

- Framebursting (set to 125* High speed mode)

- 802.11g protection (not enabled)

- DTIM period - set to 1

- Output power - set to 100%

Draytek Router (unable to check all current settings at the moment!):

- Security (set to WPA2/PSK)

- Mode (11g/11b/mixed)

- Packet Overdrive (enabled/disabled)

- Long Preamble (enabled/disabled)

Any ideas which of the above settings might cause issues with wifi on JellyBean?

I'll try the file system permissions thing later, but the fact that it needs to be repeated after every reboot is obviously a pain!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telispetsinos:
I have problems with the wifi at work too. Everything was working fine with the Draytek 2800 series wireless router (cannot remember the exact model) until the Jelly Bean update. I have tried different (stock) JB ROMs and modems (although modems are not related, i tried just in case). Each time I try to connect to the wireless network it is as if I am doing a DoS attack and no one can access the intenet until I turn the wifi off on my GS3. All it does in that time is "Work Network found" -> "authenticating" then the network disappears and reappears in a few seconds and then it is the same thing all over again. Of course I have tried forgetting the network, and re-entering the wpa key. I have also tried doing a factory reset to the phone, as well as the "*#0011#" method. None of these things worked. No one else is having any trouble with the wifi at work - and I wasn't until the JB update, so it must have to do with it, but I cannot find any work-around.

I have not been able to reproduce the problem with any other wireless network. Everywhere else that I have tried it works flawlessly.

Any help/ ideas would be appreciated!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emckai:
Most likely Verizon or Samsung WILL replace the phone as a 'defected' phone.

There is no proof that you shot 12 volts into the phone, so they will replace it without any issues I suppose.

I know you said don't ask.. but how did you shoot 12 volts into your phone?
