[Sprint LG Optimus G] chrischoi:
If it's anything like a working G2X I'd be down. But I'm afraid to commit because it's in the Optimus line.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] latindor17:
If it's anything like the G2X, I should cancel my pre order right now. LG never released ICS on it and it had little community support.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bizzshow26:
Hmm hopefully it has a lot of support but I doubt it still going to pick up this phone. All I hope for is a bootloader unlock and to load cm10 on it
[Sprint LG Optimus G] radji:
Don't know why Sprint would say something that blatantly stupid...seeing as the Galaxy S III is also a quad-core device.

I so want to get the Optimus G, but I want more of a comparison between it and the SGS3 before I make a decision (plus the SGS3 will be going on sale on Black Friday).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AvatarOfFrost:
Just picked up the "G" today and I think it's awesome. Camera could be better though.

Sprint's first quad-core Phone

The Galaxy Note is a Phone/Tablet crossover and would be Sprint's first quad-core device, therefore the LG Optimus G is the first quad-core pure phone.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Enzopreme:
I don't think that's where they were going with it. I think the G was supposed to be released before the note 2 but there were manufacturing issues.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] chrischoi:
But the page was put up weeks after the Note 2 release.

Is there an app that can turn on data for a set time then turn off then on in intervals. I've noticed that data drains my battery compared to having it off so I was wondering if there is an app that is like a timer for data. Thanks :thumbup:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
You could either look into an app like 3g watchdog or you could use the app tasker to set up a profile that turns data on and off as frequently or infrequently as you want. Hope this helps :).
[Android General] thewisenerd:
From reliable sources, I have found out a reason to be very happy.:D:D:D It was on November 5'th 2007, that Android first unveiled itself.

The Wikipedia Link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_android#History

It says:

On

November 5, 2007

, the Open Handset Alliance, a consortium of technology companies including Google, device manufacturers such as HTC and Samsung, wireless carriers such as Sprint Nextel and T-Mobile, and chipset makers such as Qualcomm and Texas Instruments, unveiled itself, with a goal to develop open standards for mobile devices.[9] That day, Android was unveiled as its first product, a mobile device platform built on the Linux kernel version 2.6.[9] The first commercially available phone to run Android was the HTC Dream, released on October 22, 2008.[30]

It has been a long way, and we are still the most popular operating system out there.

One of the websites out there, Pocket-Lint made an announcement...

Link: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/48311/happy-birthday-android-5-today

What is strange though is that Google itself hasn't really celebrated the fact. No fanfare, no new announcements (we were partly expecting Android 5 to be announced - the portents were strong, certainly), and no Google doodle. Doesn't mean we can't toot into a party blower on its behalf, though.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
I reset my phone and out of the blue it froze at the XPERIA screen, I have tried to do a hard reset but no response. Is there anything I can try? Right now I can only think of letting it sit, hoping it will drain of battery.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
Is your phone bootloader unlocked?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
No, its locked. I cant escape the XPERIA screen no matter what I do. I suppose I just have to sit and wait for its battery to die.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
If it was unlocked, the fastboot from flashtool was an option. I had used it a few times.

The phone will go into fastboot. then from flashtool you can reboot, while keeping the vol down button pressed with the phone still connected. You will then get flashmode.

This has saved time for me a couple of times.

Try connecting it to flashtool, and see if there are any options to reboot.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
It is just stuck at the XPERIA screen, I cannot enter flashmode when I hold down the volume button.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ganeshbiyer:
Check if you could detect the phone thru adb.

adb start-server

adb devices

if it finds a device

then

adb shell

reboot

but keep the vol down button pressed
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] fcb13:
Alright, ill try!

EDIT: Came home and the battery was dead, gonna charge it and access CWM and restore my backup

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] martin707:
I'm planning to revive an old DIY project on my car tablet dock. I know some people would discourage it due to the risk of an accident, i am well aware of this.

I'm wondering if there are adverse affects with docking a tablet with a magnetized casing at the back? Your inputs are appreciated. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Eun-Hjzjined:
I think you would be better off if you made a steel back case for it. That way, you're not putting magnets on the tablet.

Maybe even something like super Velcro would be better, then if you are using in a car for navigation, the magnets won't mess with positioning.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Sycobob:
AFAIK magnets pose no threat to mobile devices. Traditional spinning hard disks, floppy disks and CRTs can be adversely affected, but mobile devices have none of those. Currents will be deflected, but any magnet you'd be using is probably far to weak for it to actually affect operation (and would be nonpermanent in any case).
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] martin707:
I used the heavy duty velcro. Worked like a charm
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] steve adams:
I need something a little more solid. I'm using my tablet as an offline navigation system for my jeep while off roading.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Eun-Hjzjined:
Some industrial velso can be used for that.

I recently saw some Velcro with a strength of, something like 40lbs per square inch.

I actually think its the industrial Velcro you can get at home depot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maisondouf:
I'd bought this WE a little box from Engel Axil with Android 2.3.

This box is powered by an ARM CORTEX (armv7) processor with 512Mo of RAM and 2Go stockage.

More info HERE.

I'd installed openssh and I can see the return of 'uname -a':

Linux localhost 2.6.34 V1.3.0-70-gee2481e(20120217.100957) armv7l GNU/Linux

A spanish community seem to have succeed to make a ICS release for it HERE, but they don't say anything about the procedure to install this.

Is there somebody here which will be able to explain me how to upgrade my Engeldroid ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maisondouf:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KamyKaze:
I'm interested in this too!

The EngelDroid 1007M looks just like what I need, but I don't like that its software is in spanish.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrico:
Hello Guys,

I'm living in Spain myself and bought me one of these nifty boxes as well and started to fizzle around with it.

Here are my findings with it so far:

Android:

The box comes standard with Android 2.4.3 (or was it 2.3.4, I'm at work right now and can't remember correctly :p ) but can be upgraded to a 4.0.3 version that is made by Mygica.es.

The link to download the upgrade is indeed the link you've posted.

To install this upgrade you will need to download the zipfile, rename it to update.img and copy it to a clean SD Card.

Make sure that the Engeldroid is powered off and put the SD Card in the Engeldroid.

Than take something pointy and press and hold the reset button on the back (the smal little hole) and plug in the power connection to boot the Engeldroid in update mode. You can release the reset button when you see the restore-android-logo appearing on the screen.

The droid will now look for the update.img on the SD Card and start updating your box. There will be a random offset message but that is nothing to worry about and does not give any problems with the installation.

The first time after installing this new Android version the unit will take up to 15 minutes to boot it due to installing all settings and default apps from this custom rom.

The normal remote control with the keyboard on the back won't work anymore, but the motion controller will. It is highly advisable to connect a wireless keyboard and/or mouse or combination. Myself, I'm using a Logitech K400 keyboard/touchpad combination which works flawless.

Another option for the Media Center tweakers would be to install Linux with XBMC on this.

It is nowhere comfirmed but that is how I am using my Engeldroid at the moment and it turned my droid box into a proper XBMC media center and Samba file server that shares all my movies from the connected disc on the network as well.

The install procedure is the almost the same as with the other ROMS, download, unpack the zipfile, make sure the file is called update.img, copy to the root of the SD Card, plug it in and reset the droid with the reset button hold.

The link for the specific build of XBMC Linux that is working with our droid I can't post here yet, but search on google for: Pivos XBMC-Linux Beta 100912 and you will find the Pivos forums with the release topic of this ROM.

Don't try the Android ROM from Pivos, it is not compatible with the Engeldroid EN1007M. No worries if you want to try it, it won't blow up our box but just won't install.

If you have any more specific questions, please ask or send me a message or email and I will get in touch with you.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Well...in theory, you would have to obtain the private signing keys from Amazon so a custom bootloader can be made for the new devices. Then you would have to put it in USBboot mode, most likely by shorting the USBboot pin to a ground point on the device and using a custom tool like Firekit, made for the 2nd generation devices, to send low level USB commands to the device and flash a signed bootloader.

But that's all speculation at this point.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSKYY:
Hey,

I have a problem and I really don't know what is causing this. My GS3 is restarting several times a day, it seems it happens especially when it is in my jeans pocket and I change my seating position or something like that, so maybe the on/off button gets pushed or maybe there is some pressure on the phone for a short moment, but all this shouldn't lead to a phone restart?? It also happens several times in a really short time, so sometimes it restarts, I just type in my pin, put it back into my pocket and after 15 seconds, it happens again...... What could be the reason? It happenend with the Stock Rom(bought it at Amazon) and also now after the update to 4.1(official), so that might be not the reason.

Any ideas how I can fix this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da.trute:
Hard to say really, we'll have to go through a process of elimination. First thing to try is to backup you're phone using Ti or take a nandriod backup then factory reset the phone removing all personal data and app. Dont install any apps for a day or two and see how it is. If ok then put all you're apps back on and then see how it is. You may find that something broke when you put 4.1 on over the top of 4.0, happened to my sister or her Galaxy s2.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] J-ROCK:
Change your govenor to performance. It helps. And for CM10 I used faux kernel and got the least crackling. Or set a profile with set cpu like I did when using your favorite music player.

CM10. CM10 did not have BT support until recently, and its buggy at best.

Run stock and all your devices' features will work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Teo032:
It might have to do with the bt bass bug. It was fine on earlier nightlies, but it started happening about 2-3 weeks ago. You can test by playing music, then call someone real quick and hang up. Your music should resume with full range of sound frequencies.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuart.upton666:
Hey guys, I'm suffering massively after flashing faux's kernel. It started off when I rebooted the device and it took me to device setup. I thought it was a malfunction, so I went back into recovery and flashed my backup that I had made minutes before. But the same thing happened. It took me back to the setup screen. So I decided to wipe and flash the ROM again (pa 2.5). And everything seemed fine until I checked the kernel status. It still had the same kernel as before (faux123). I thought I had made a mistake somewhere so I decided to download and flash a new kernel. I downloaded it but after I went into recovery I couldn't find the downloaded file... So I rebooted and downloaded the kernel onto my PC and transfer it to my tab via USB. I rebooted into recovery and flashed the kernel over fastboot... But to no avail. When I rebooted the device it took me to setup again. This is when the screen went crazy. It started flashing and and going nuts. I thought it was the kernel I just flashed, So I rebooted and the tab was fine but it took me to setup again. I went through the rigmarole of setting up a 4th time and checked my kernel status and guess what? Still faux123. Now I really don't know what it wrong. I've tried using the nexus root tool kit v1.5.2 but still to no avail. I've tried manually pushing the files over adb but still Nothing... I've sent faux a message asking for help but haven't received a reply yet.

Any help would be great guys.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topnoch:
Hey guys, I bought new international SGS3 from reseller, and just noticed that device status is modified. Does this mean that my phone is rooted?

Also, I find suspicious apps in application manager, like "GalaxSim Unlock" , "Root Check Pro" and "SuperSU".
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
That means:

- your phone has been rooted

- your phone IS NOT new

- your phone MAY have a custom ROM or kernel

However, see the bright side of it: at least whoever sold you the phone saved you at least 10 minutes, that is the time one needs to root the GS3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topnoch:
Hm that`s interesting... So why I have received an official Jelly Bean update if my device is rooted ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
It's been reported that in some not-so-rare cases rooted phones but with a stock ROM do get the OTA updates.

Your phone is certainly not new, but maybe the "su" binary is missing (even 'though the SuperSU app is there - this app just manages access to the su binary).

Just to make sure the binary is there, install and run this app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck

It will tell you if your phone is properly rooted or not. After running, you can uninstall it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topnoch:
I`ve tried this app, it says device is not properly rooted. I attach file with log
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
You got the su binary alright!

It just needs to correct a few permissions in the binary file.

Install and run this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su

it is an alternative to SuperSU which has the ability to fix such permission issues.
