[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCoMagNuM:
I recently formatted my AT&T Galaxy S III SGH-I747 to factory to get a fresh start in the mist of rumored Jelly Bean update coming soon. I synced my phone with google to get all my app data and profiles and such. Some reason my bookmarks I had saved to my gmail account are not only gone but I dont have the option to save new bookmarks to the gmail account. Anyone know how to fix this? Saving bookmarks locally on phone isnt enough for me. I thought syncing them with google was enough.

I have the exact same issue on a galaxy note 2. I hope someone can help with this issue
[Microsoft Surface] lgnationrc:
Can the Surface RT USB tether to smartphones? I have an older LG P990. When I tethered to my normal PC it had to first quickly install AndroidNET or whatever. That makes me think that it won't work on the RT.

I need to be able to tether, I could just go the route of a mobile hotspot, but I don't like the idea of every single Chinese person on the train trying to steal my wifi. They are pros at stealing wifi in this country.

I heard you can tether using bluetooth. Is that possible on the Surface RT?

Thanks,

lgnationrc
[Microsoft Surface] jpalo:
I tether to Surface from my Galaxy Nexus over bluetooth. It disconnects all the time without any reason but haven't been able to figure out why. With BT I can enable it on phone and it shouldn't eat battery like having wifi hotspot all the time active. I just open the BT PAN from Surface with 2 button presses and it opens in 1 sec. Only if the disconnect issue could be solved...
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
A few points, for the record:

1: Windows RT *probably* supports USB modems, which is how most wired tethering is done (the phone presents itself to the PC as a USB modem). I haven't tried, though.

2: Unless you use a crappy password - and really, why would you; it's not like you'll need to remember it at any time that you can't access it - WPA2-PSK is effectively unbreakable.

3: Don't be sure that Bluetooth is that much more secure. It is shorter range and lower power, though... but it's also lower bandwidth. A decent cellphone connection (3G, not even terribly good 3G) will saturate it.
[Microsoft Surface] lgnationrc:
Thanks, I will try it and see how it goes. Otherwise I will use Wifi, have no choice. Wifi gets stolen here all the time, even with that kind of setup.

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Ohad83:
Hello,

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 with a stock rom with Hebrew menus (didn't come with the phone, I flashed it but it's basically stock with Hebrew menus). I'm trying to use a custom mp3 notification sound. I used Ringdroid to cut the song and make it available on the notifications menu, and it sounds fine on Ringdroid and when playing the sound file itself, but when I actually set it as the notification sound, the sound is very low. I searched around and seen some people complaining about it but no actual answer, so I was hoping someone here can help.

Thanks, Ohad.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] arjunraina7:
Yeah I used to have the same problem.. nothing can be done for that. You have to root your device and flash a patch for dsp manager if it doesnot work you have option but to flash a rom like cyanogenmod 7 it has a fantastic sound quality..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Ohad83:
Thank you for the answer. I've flashed the DSP manager app now, it seems a little better. Are there any suggested preferences to use with it?

Thanks, Ohad.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] arjunraina7:
Well that purely depends on you you can set to your own taste well for the phone speakers you can enable bass boost and set the equalizer to acoustic and for your earphone settings just use acoustic only and enable virtual room and set it to studio. These are the settings I use rest depends on you and your needs..:):) and FYI these screenshots are just for earphones..

Hey guys,

I have the new Samsung galaxy note II and I don´t understand how to root this device. I read on different pages to set a counter to zero and so on...can you please tell me a sucessfull way how to root it? I can not find an easy way where people say that it works.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
I used this method on page 1:

I didn't worry about resetting flash counter to zero

Is the ghost armor gonna affect the performance of the stylus? Anyone that has had there phone covered experiencing any issues? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Artimus009:
Some folks stated that some screen protectors were showing imprints from the stylus....YMMV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Xelstyle:
Generally the wet style application for screen protectors will be prone to being easily marked.

They typically have some degree of self recovery but I doubt they'll prevent a visible amount of marks from the SPen showing up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Scythe024:
I had ghost armor on my note 1 and pre purchased one for my note 2. The pen works fine and is just as accurate (note 1 experience). It does leave a imprint on the skin just as the spen would leave steaks on the glass that were noticeable at different angles, but don't worry, just like the glass, it wipes away the streaks on the ghost armor.

Dear Moderators,

Please talk with all devs regarding last Mike's post in thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562603

Below You can find post:

" Just to be clear - my last post was not about users but about competition atmosphere, not sharing, hiding RUUs for even final, release-keys RUUs. If devs are hiding something that is tagged as "final" and "release-keys" and it will be published by htc any day, that means we are in a rats race. I'm against not sharing of "test-keys" software, but hiding "release-keys" one is way too much I can stand. No names here, no offence to anyone, no direct speech to anyone. xda rules allows that behavior so it's legal.

This game is not fair play."

I fully agree with him. Now it's lika RATS RACE
[HTC One X] OniV2:
I agree that the hiding of release keys and final builds is unfair. They're from HTC and thus should be available to everyone, allowing the community to grow and for the modding community to prosper. The fact that such items of high importance are hidden from other developers (when they should be available to everyone) is deplorable.

[Off-topic: Still not sure why the thread needed to be closed. Does this mean ARHD is dead on the One X, or is it closed to simply cease discussion within the thread? If ARHD is dead, what's a worthy equivalent?]
[HTC One X] eddyedwards007:
Absolutely elmo, it's back to stock for me if Mike stops developing. In fact I've had enough of xda. On the whole it's a helpful community but there is way too much bickering going on, are we not adults here?
[HTC One X] Bigleg75:
It's a shame, the community would be nothing without the sharing of files, ideas and knowledge.

But although unfair it is though, the individuals prerogative.

I just feel it would be a shame if everyone acted acting like this as nothing would ever be achieved or at the very least things would get slowed down for all. Who cares who's first? Ultimately we all choose which developers ROMs, MODS, etc etc we end up using anyhow.

Very little to being first in the long run but maybe a little Kudos.
[HTC One X] shithead:
Couldn't agree more with y'all.
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Can someone clear up whats going on?

Is mike stopping his development?
[HTC One X] Bigleg75:
For HOX possibly yes.

I quote...
[HTC One X] The-Last-Hylian:
Plus his ARHD thread has been closed :crying::(

All of that work on that thread and good people helping others and some selfish lot out there decide that they want to monopolize something that should be given away readily to help the community!

(Shouldn't be saying this) Want to know who it was that denied Mike the data he needs, so that we can boycott that thread and plead with him to help Mike out)
[HTC One X] Niels-je:
Too bad Mike1986 just leaves all ARHD users behind like this!

He's not reliable to me anymore...This is not a fight to be fought by putting the users in the frontline.

The king is dead. Long live the king! Time to move on.

So, what's the next best thing available if it's a HOX Sense-rom?
[HTC One X] Electronic Punk:
I understand his frustration to be honest, although in this case I don't see who he is referring to, not seen the final JB WWE RUU anywhere yet.

The minute it appears on another ROM this thread will be full of demands for a release, with other ROM authors saying their ROM can't be modified for 4 days or so, which I pretty sure isn't enforced?

I dont really have a personal opinion on the matter but think the above stuff covers it well :)
[HTC One X] *elmo*:
I also sent PM to Mike
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
I did but I changed my mind some time ago already. People do mistakes, only cows don't change their minds.

Also nobody here have 3.14.401.20 RUU.
[HTC One X] waz000000:
well im taking my ball and im going home,

if people don't want to share that's up to them, XDA is about sharing knowledge, sharing the ability to build your own roms and such. Too many people are expecting others to do the work for them and this is NOT what XDA is about.

since when was XDA about the final product?

i think some members need to learn a bit before they speak! don't expect others to build your perfect rom for you.

XDA has become a playground full of children who want things done for them, ive not only watched the quality of members go down hill since ive been here but some moderators as well sadly.

xda is no longer a source of information and like minded people it's now all about.. " I WANT I WANT I WANT"
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Mike don't give up on us !

Name and shame the arsehole !!!

Does this include your toolkit also?

Or just ROM Development?!
[HTC One X] hamdir:
mike bro, please check my PM
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
I checked mate, I will reopen my thread once 14.0 is ready. I also closed it because I didn't want to read questions about 3.14.401.20 based ROM because some devs claims they already have such RUU. I will not release 14.0 now because I don't have it so I need to wait for some kind of official release.
[HTC One X] *elmo*:
Mike Thank man :good: It's nice to hear that ARHD will be back for One X :highfive:

[HTC One X] Electronic Punk:
Good stuff Mike, we all apprecaite your work (and of course the work of other devs helping to make our devices better)
[HTC One X] maxilick:
"only cows don't change there minds" Harshly put!!! My interpretation of Mike's most recent post in this thread would be that some people grow up whilst others remain children.

It would be safe to assume that a majority of other dev's are not sharing release keys so they can remain top dog and get as many thanks, rom users and threads that go for many hundreds of pages. In conclusion these characteristics all distill to these descriptions: egotistical, not humble, power, control, narcissism, selfishness , envy and many more unpleasant descriptions.

If any one feels offended or upset in any way about this post and feels the need to defend themselves it is because the truth will always hurt children.

Very, very disappointed of the conduct demonstrated in many threads of XDA and sad to see a brilliant thread closed. Kudo's to Mike for his contributions. However a little patience may have gone a long way.

edit* good to see thread will re-open
[HTC One X] Niels-je:
If you are gonna act like this every time there's a new RUU available, it's better to join the cows...
[HTC One X] cjm1979:
Well said but i believe that while Mike was doing it, to be top dog, he didn't see a problem and now that others have the new stuff its a problem.
[HTC One X] murattiss:
Even if the HOX thread will be full of roms based on 3.14.401.20, I and many others will wait for your rom even if you release it 1 week after HTC.

Many know here that quicker is not better and waiting is worth, if some devs do not share surely it is their decision but communities in real life and internet are based on sharing as a basic human behaviour which makes both sides happy.
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
I see you don't understand the point and I will not convince you. I said I used to do that, but I changed my mind BEFORE already. But I'm more then happy to know that you are a perfect man, never doing mistakes and always with right believes. Keep up good sense of humor!
[HTC One X] cjm1979:
Never said I was perfect, just think it's amusing how your crying now the boots on the other foot.
[HTC One X] billyjonstevens:
Mike,

Thanks for re-opening your thread, I love your roms, currently on ARHD 13 cant wait for 14 but I am more than happy to wait for it as the quality is always far superior to any other roms I have tried in the past...

chin up buddy :good:
[HTC One X] marzinho:
Haters gonna hate, developers gonna develop :D

Stop hatin', start developin'.
[HTC One X] maxilick:
Lots of excellent cooks in XDA. Picking a rom is a personal preference. I have to agree with your opinion.
[HTC One X] j to the 4n:
Why is it so important for some devs to get the RUUS at first and asap?

Because devs are trying to attract the users with roms that are based on the latest RUUs...instead taking care to spent time into proper development and attract the users on that way.

...not a secret, that there a lot of users here on xda as well that dont care much on the quality of a rom, but more if its based on the most latest RUU.

But to take it to the point the goal of most devs is it to gain as much users as possible = $$$.

And I hate that way of thinking...its always all about the money.

Its just sad to see more and more roms that write "build.prop tweaks, init.d support, supersmooth...blah.." in theirs OPs and got nothing

really individual in their roms...but got huge donation banners in their sigs/posts like big champions.

Imo that has nothing to do with xda-developers.
[HTC One X] skr_xd:
To stop all this nonsense,

Why don't we make a petition to HTC to provide the RUUs officially just like Asus and others?
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
That's been tried already, didn't get very far ;)
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
For you and people like you every sign of well-founded disaffection is "crying". You are the only one not crying, always happy, always fair, always perfect. I was criticizing the situation, not people. You are coming here and criticizing me. I know it's very easy sitting against the PC monitor, you don't need to be very brave to do that. In fact you can be anyone you want. So just be it.
[HTC One X] faiz02:

One big truth i understood in my life,

" Can't convince everyone of everything. Even if you are saying the right thing.

So, No need to prove anyone. Just move on"
[HTC One X] exocetdj:
Whatever happened in the past is in the past, this sort of stuff creates a flame war which does not belong to xda!

It was the situation that was being criticized.

All the devs imho are legends on here no matter what!

Without their work we'd be stuck on crappy stock roms etc and would have device development more akin to apple IOS. This will just drive em away

Let whoever is involved sort it out amongst themselves. At the end of the day, the devs are why xda is here and why xda has over 2,000,000 users

" On the operating end of a hammer destined for *****ers in the JB Thread" ROFL it has a hint of irony to it.
[HTC One X] exocetdj:
Ok, could change that in hindsight if it's going to be misread, but i was so pissed off with the way that that thread went with all the kiddies whining over thier jellybean eta just felt like putting something like that! Just sick with flame wars basically! Not what xda is about!

Besides, apart from voicing my opinion, i don't get involved, i just hit the report button as the mods have requested.

Perhaps i should change it to on the operating end of the report button????
[HTC One X] cjm1979:
The situation that was great for Mike when he was the one on the other end of it but not so great now. That was the point I was making.

The bit that Mike doesn't like is that he isn't first anymore and so can't gloat. The first sign of this happening and he takes his toys home. Hypocrisy?
[HTC One X] OniV2:
For that to happen, manufacturer skins would have to cease existing.

----

To the thread at hand: there's no point in pointing the finger at Mike for closing his thread for a short time, since that's not going to get us anywhere. However, it should be noted that I think it's just rude to leave your users that trust you with vague details prior to seemingly just up and leaving the development on one device. It's just as rude as other developers keeping important software to themselves, and not sharing it around when it should actually be available to everyone (considering the source).

This may be XDA-Developers, however you've got to remember you're developing for the end user. Otherwise this would just be a boring programmer's/compiler's website for sharing projects. Don't leave the end user in the dark - they'll just move to the ROMs being developed by those not sharing their sources.

...I have a feeling my post makes no sense. :silly:

As D.O.C said in the other thread i linked to on the second page, XDA is about development not turf wars lol!

He's done the exact same across many phones and there didn't seem to be a problem then. If he can't get the ruu yet, tough. He'll have to wait like everyone else had to when he wouldn't share.

Also if the first thing he does his close his thread, it shows how much he thinks of his followers like you and how mature he his. I'd say you've a lot more respect for him than he has for you.

i've got a htc sensation with s-off, locked, hboot 1.27 and installed a custom rom ARHD 6.8, following the steps on ARHD.

now my problem is (like many others) that my wifi and bt won't turn on.

i search in windows for boot.img and and i found boot.img (of course) and faux en sebastian.

Some say that the wifi (and maybe) BT error is due to kernel mismatch.

What can i do to fix this problem?

It's not due to a kernel mismatch as such. It's due to the kernel modules not matching the version of the kernel. What you need to do is flash a custom kernel from recovery
