I returned my tablet cause just didn't need it or use it enough. My phone does it all. Sure the screen is a little small but that's why I'm thinking of getting the note 2. Played with it and looks really good. Phone and tablet all in one. Can't beat that.

Generally speaking I use my Nexus 7 from web browsing, games to watching videos. Watching videos is better on 7 inch screen than lets say 4.2 or 4.8 inch etc. My N7 is more of an extension to my SGSIII.

I am not sure how it will fair with my GNote 2 (that I will be getting in a month).

Hi,

I have CM10 running on my rooted Galaxy Nexus and I just enabled the disk encryption. However, I can't find any options what happens after a few failed attempts? I would like to reset and wipe my phone so that it will be usable, but without any of my data. Cerberus is flashed, so I think I'll have a better chance at recovering my phone if it's usable and not completely locked.

I have set a profile with tasker + secure settings to shutdown after 3 failed PIN attempts (which is different than the encryption password), so I should be save there and a thief would be forced to guess my much safer encryption password.

I know that I can do it with cerberus, but only manually.

Bonus point: Is there any possibility to use a pattern instead of a PIN for the display lock? It's unavailable after encrypting..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savaron:
Nobody?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Only way to recover the phone after encryption is to do a factory reset, I don't think it does this by itself when x failed attempts.

the Pattern unlock is very low security and the encryption key is numeric (or so ive heard) so I'm guessing that is the reason it isn't available.

Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savaron:
How would I do a factory reset after encryption without fastboot? Also, I already have a different PIN than my encrption key, so that should be of no concern.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
couldnt you still get back into the stock recovery with encryption on and factory reset that way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savaron:
AFAIK the stock recovery is the only recovery, that can handle encryption. But I have clockword, so I think the only method to factory reset would be fastboot. I know how to do it, I don't think the average thief/user can do it, so thats not a security concern for me.

Alright, just installed it. But what about the automatic wipe? Couldn't find anything yet :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Savaron:
Seriously, why is a remote wipe so easy and an automatic wipe seemingly impossible? I even wonder, why this isn't a standard feature..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
I'm using this guide to try and root a Galaxy S3 (I535VRLHE) with the ultimate goal of installing CM10, and unfortunately hitting a wall very early on. I'm using Root Debug FS to try and root, but I'm getting the error:

"adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."

After that it informs me that "UID and GID should both be 0" Are They? Y/N.

Saying Yes or no here does nothing but insist that my phone is successfully rooted (it isn't). Screenshots attached.

I've searched the forums and have seen this problem, but in most instances it's because users were trying to run RootDebugFS from within a zip, or they hadn't unzipped the files properly. My files are all extracted to the same directory and adb.exe is there. Drivers were all installed correctly. USB cable is OEM. Phone is set to USB debug mode, and unknown sources are allowed.

Any ideas what I'm missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
Did you install Samsung drivers?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
Yes, installed Samsung drivers without a problem. Also searched and found that guide, but still get the same error whether I'm using the originally suggested RootDebugFS, or the SuperSU RootDebugFS they suggest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
What version are you on under about phone. And I would re download all the files from the thread I sent you. Could be a bad download that you have.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 PM ----------

There should be a total of 3 adb files, 3 debug files and 3 superuser files in the download. Are there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
Android version 4.04, baseband version I535VRLHE, build number IMM76D,I535VRALHE. All the files appear to be in there (see screenshot). Should note that I've tried this on a Windows 7 laptop AND desktop and have seen the same results, so that suggests it's a phone setting or conflict I'm missing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
You are missing a file that is called

SuperSu_GS3_Debugfs_r2a

File size for that file should be 1103KB

So I would try redownloading the pack in the tread I sent you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
Re-downloaded the file from the link you provided (image 1), extracted, and the file you cite is not there. Downloaded the other straight version of DebugFS (image 2) again and I still get the same error on two different machines.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
OK...... well I'm stuck. That's everything I could think of. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will help you out.

Sorry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
Thank you for trying. Do I have other root options if I simply can't get this program to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droopydroors:
Not that I'm aware of. I'm sure someone will be able to help. I see if I can get someone too look into it from a different thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
I've tried this on three different PCs, so I assume it's something to do with the phone. Can anyone lend a hand?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nickmimi:
I am also having the same problem. I have tried all of the suggestions in multiple guides and forums, still not happening.

Edit/Update: I was finally able to root. I did not run the debug as administrator and it worked perfect. Maybe this will help someone else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
I've run it as administrator, but still get the same problem. Very frustrating. Nobody else has any ideas I could try to get this to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
Also: I've now tried this on two PCS and a laptop and get the same error...so it's something with the phone itself....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blakeharrell:
I THINK he's saying "DONT run it as Administrator. "

I have the same version phone, I ran as administrator the first time, didnt work.

Had the same problem as you did.

Second time I ran it as I regularly would, worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheShakes:
That was it, thanks!

For people finding this via Google, do NOT run it as administrator like most guides suggest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ManLaw:
how do u run it without being an admin

im having the same problem as the OP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h310ise:
Run As Admin correct steps

I had the same problem and resolved it by running the RootDebugfs.bat file in an command window run as administrator.

For win7 - 1) type cmd in the find box 2) a black cmd program icon appears at the top - right click it and choose run as administrator 3) from inside the command window navigate to where you unzipped the root fs program and run it. For example, type cd c:\some directory\RootDebugfs.bat

[Asus Transformer TF700] wmarple:
I have an ASUS TF700T. The bootloader is unlocked and I have successfully used wheelie and nvflash to generate my blob files and create bricksafe images. I just installed the most recent jb firmware from the ASUS website and it wiped out my clockworkmod recovery. This would normally be ok but when I boot into the (now) stock recovery android tries to apply an update, immediately fails and the only options I have are to reboot, wipe/factory and wipe/cache. Thus, I cannot apply updates via recovery. I also can't install .img or blob files from fastboot as a result of the nvflash/custom bootloader process. As an added bonus, I can't get root in android because the only way I've found to do that is apply an update from recovery! APX mode is working fine and wheelie and nvflash are still working fine. If I could figure out how to a.) somehow get root in jb without flashing via fastboot or recovery or b.) get clockworkmod back I would be fine. I'm hoping someone can tell me how to flash a custom recovery using nvflash. The only stuff I've found is for the gtablet and I'm not familiar enough with nvflash (or android rooting in general) to be comfortable just "trying" commands intended for a different tablet.:eek:

Fastboot still works in the AndroidRoot bootloader. Make sure you flash .blob files to staging, though.

Why not just use the disable option via 'manage apps'? This way you can still receive OTA updates without having to unfreeze or replace removed apps. Disabled apps will also not appear in your app drawer or nag for updates.

Hello,

When I converted from the old iphone 3g unlim plan to the infuse, they told me the "unlimited" would be transfered to the 4G (HSPA+). Now my plan code shows this:

GPRS WAP UNLTD DOM - SMTUNLB

Is this really HSPA+ or am I still on 3G? My phone has the hspa+ icon in the menu bar, but the speed is only about 3 megs down. Note: they did give me a new SIM, but I'm not sure if it is setup properly on their side.

So who else do you recommend for a durable case?

thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dachness:
I was hoping they would make a case. I currently have a Defender on my iPhone 4. I wish they had come up with another solution for the home button. As it is designed there is a hole in the screen protector which can allow dust to get behind the screen protector.

Instead of the otterbox I think I will be going with a Seidio active case with clip and apply my own screen protector.

Daniel
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nishbul:
Well i am still waiting for the otterbox, I have looked at the Aegis and Seidio lineup and i feel they do have some design flaws, i know it wont matter for a lot of people but for me its a deal breaker, look at the back of Aegis or Seidio, the outer hard shell doesnt have any support at the bottom near the usb charger, so whenever you pull your phone from your pocket the rubber will get misplaced and pulled in different angles, because it doesnt have any support. There are a few videos on youtube complaining about that.

Thats not the case with otterbox, the hard shell pretty much encompasses the whole device.

just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] barry99705:
This case?

It has plastic all the way around it. I have to use the usb plug to pop the rubber cover out of my kraken case my my nexus, I can't get it with my fingers.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] seawolf823:
Just pop out the screen protector on the otterbox. I have a defender on my GS3 and I just popped out the otterbox screen protector and put a zagg shield on instead.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pacificwing:
A lot of people like the Trident cases. I'm especially excited for the Kraken AMS, which has loads of accessories (car mounts, bike clips, etc). Trident seems to develop a wider range of cases for their phones, all of which are cheaper than the lower end otterbox.

The main advantage with Otterbox is the plastic screen cover, which is built into the case. This is a hit-or-miss, depending on the preference. For me, it is a big miss because dust will invariably get in behind the screen (especially if you work construction like me), forcing you to remove the case to clean the phone on nearly a weekly basis. After a while of taking the case on and off, the soft outer shell will lose its tension, and will start to flop off when you don't want it to. This has been a constant design flaw with Otterbox.

The other thing Otterbox has going for it is the full size holster. I use the holster all the time, so this used to be a plus. The problem is that the hard plastic clip is prone to breaking.

I now go with the Trident Kraken and SpiGen protector. I don't use the included belt clip, and instead I use a full pouch which fits the phone case and all. This has worked well for my Nexus, and should work well for the GN2 as well.

It is a matter of preference though. This is only my opinion, and lots of people are quite happy with Otterbox.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KaliS-Pugilist:
are their any officially projected sale prices for the galaxy note 2 during the upcoming sales frenzy and also, where will be the best places to buy the note 2 (in terms of price, extras if any, gift cards or kick backs, accessories, extended warranties)? I'm ready to buy now, but figure i'd start my usually penny pinching process of shopping for the best deal before i just go to sprint and hand over $300 bills.

also, if i were to before blackfriday/cyber monday...say from BB or something, then they went on sale wouldn't the price difference be given?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jcossack88:
I know for the Holiday season, Best Buy is price matching their online competitors. So it may be beneficial to support a brick and mortar store as opposed to an online retailer. Also, Samsung has a Black Friday sign up on their main website at Samsung.com, so you can always check their and sign up to be notified.
[Android Apps and Games] gk1984:
I work for a university trying to find an app/software combination that would allow our faculty to use a tablet as an interactive whiteboard. I tried a couple of options and can't find very much. This might even be a nice area for someone to develop for as there isn't much competition (hint hint).

What I've found:

Most of the apps I've seen are just whiteboard apps on the tablet. Draw on the tablet screen, record it, share it, collaborate with others live. It's a nice idea, but not what I'm looking for.

What I am looking for:

Splashtop Whiteboard or Doceri (issues with both will be discussed below). These apps act as remote desktop apps with annotation and drawing tools. Think SMART Board, but without the need to be at the board.

Splashtop problems: I personally saw nothing wrong with this app/software. It is expensive, but it worked great. The problem existed with the way their software work. I don't know much in this area, but others in my department more familiar with programming expressed concerns over security and privacy. So we decided to keep looking. What I loved was that this was cross-platform, though.

Doceri problems: Well, other than the fact it's limited to iPad, no issues at all. The software concerns found in Splashtop weren't there with Doceri. We don't have one dominant platform on campus, so to adopt an iPad only solution doesn't feel right. I'd like to find something comparable to Doceri that works on Android as well, preferably on both platforms. Doceri is more expensive than Splashtop, but what it is capable of is well worth the price (cost is on software side, app is free).

Now here's the real head-spinner. When I asked Doceri about their plans with Android, I was told that they felt they had no market on Android and would more likely develop for Windows 8 instead. I understand the iPad is the dominant tablet in education, but they're not the only one there either. I would also like to point out that this response from Doceri had come to me a couple of months ago, their position could have changed since then.

Does anyone have any alternatives? Or the very least, help me show Doceri there is a market for them. If you would use their app, let them know. I know it isn't for everyone and is more of a niche for education. Or if you're feeling up to the task, to develop something to compete with both of these companies would be awesome and please keep me informed of progress. I could present that app to our faculty.

Thanks for anyone who does decide to help or at least takes the time to read this. I know it's long, but it's also a need that education needs to be filled.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] drefcom:
Hey guys,

this is my first post and my problem is as follows:

I had ICS 4.0.x on my galaxy tab 10,1 P7500, I then installed CWM 5.5.0.4. but had a rolling window. I then continued to install a bootloader (here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27830023&postcount=41) with the appropriate bootloader for the p4. This fixed the rolling recovery and allowed me to install CM10 using CWM.

But my current problem is when the device goes on sleep mode and I wake the device up the screen is scrambled, can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Thank you in advance
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DefQoN_BE:
The only fix i found is for HC

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1680738

Edit:

I fixed the rolling screen issue after screen unlock with pershoot's help, thanks again pershoot!

Maybe it will also work for you , here we go:

If you have installed the latest cm10 build, there is only one issue for the p4wifi , you must be on the US ICS Bootloader .

So download the recovery.tar.md5 from here:

http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4wifi/recovery.tar.md5

Than go into download mode and flash this recovery using ODIN, (select pda and look for this file where you safed it, than click start)

Than, download the right US ICS Bootloader here:

http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/roms/cm10/p4wifi/US_LPL_4.0.4_bootloader.zip

Flash this also via ODIN in the PDA section, this may take a little longer, don't panic...

After that, the tablet will reboot and it should work... don't blame me if it didn't, but i had this rolling screen on almost every rom, and everything is fixed now...

I wish you good luck because i know it IS very annoying..
