It will be of no use to you, but may encourage others I suppose. One of your options above helped me. I managed to get the CWM recovery working by reinstalling it via Rom Manager, then dropping into Recovery via Quickboot (I know it's worked before so didn't try the Rom Manager route). Then I flashed 4.2 via the CWM recovery.

Does anyone know how to change the DNS servers on the S3 without 3rd party apps?
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
So we got about 330MB of stuff in this month's patches. Notable ones are:

1) "The digital signature on files that are produced and signed by Microsoft expires prematurely on a computer that is running Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012. This update contains correctly signed versions of the files. Additionally, this update improves .NET Framework 4.5 files and several core operating system components."

This was about a 160MB download (x64)

2) "This cumulative update includes the following performance and reliability improvements:

Enable enterprise customers to customize the default lock screen.

Improves the performance when you wake the computer and when the computer is asleep, in order to improve battery life

Resolves an issue that may prevent Windows Store Apps from being installed fully

Other software updates and performance improvements"

This was about a 145MB download (x64)

Basically, did anyone notice anything helpful from these? Ever since I applied them my computer takes a lot longer to turn on. Besides the listed bug fixes, I see no "software updates and performance improvements."

Hello follow S3 users,

Just tried to do a simple mod of the xml mms_config.xml for the increased smsToMmsTextThreshold to 100 and maxMessageSize to 499200.

It has been decompiled and recompiled successfully, the apk runs and I have verfied that the xml has indeed been modified.

The problem is that the change has had no effect, with the message still being converted to MMS after 4 pages and still not being able to attach files over 300kb.

Is there a secondary xml I need to modify for it to see the changes or something?

Help would be much appreciated :).

Running default Foxhound 1.4 if that's of any help.

Thanks.

Yeah, I was so quick to root I didn't even look, I just started follow the instructions. And it was rooted. Quickly. Quicker than I've ever done with Odin. So it absolutely works for the i317. But loading custom ROMs is a different story, considering most are tied to their carrier. I was using a T-Mobile ROM until I went back to stock AT&T Rom. It was horrible.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magestic1995:
Hello,

I was wondering if the nexus 4 comes with a micro sim card. I spoke with a T-Mobile rep and he told me that the phone should come with one and all i need to do is call in to activate it. Any idea if this is true or not?

Thanks all!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxy:
If you're referring to buying n4 from play store, then no.

Sent from my teapot. :3
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magestic1995:
Yes the play store. I luckily was able to purchase one, and according to the rep I spoke with the nexus 4 comes wtih micro sim card, this is wrong then?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxy:
Yeah he's wrong. I mean, why would Google include tmobile, att, etc microsim?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
How could it come with a sim card, if it has no carrier branding?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
How would a phone bought in the Play Store come with a sim card..? He probably meant that you need a micro sim card to use in that phone. The regular, bigger sim cards don't fit in the sim card slot of the n4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JPowered:
It comes with a SIM ejection tool but no SIM card included.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubborn_d0nkey:
The rep was probably thinking of this:

(S)He probably just got confused, like poor lil rep people tend to
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killerbicycle:
Or maybe he spoke with a T-Mobile Rep who informed the poster that a phone bought through them would include a micro sim...?

Or something completely different... One way or the other:

A device bought from the Google Play store does not include any carrier Sim card or contract as no device bought directly from the play store is subsidized by a carrier.

However if a Nexus device were to be bought through Tmobile, I would assume that because of a New contract it would include a Sim card. If it is not under a new contract I would suggest obtaining a Micro Sim card or cutting/punching (with a Micro-Sim Punch Tool) your current Micro Sim for your Nexus 4.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] NicotineCanada:
I payed for and have found the sixaxis driver pretty good so far. some of the older emulators won't bind all buttons properly (droidemu for example wont bind all buttons for me, where Snes9x will......)

I have a logitech 710 here. I've seen people use the micro usb to otg/female usb adapter....

but, again - i worry about binding issues in games.

Mupen64 wont bind analog controls properly. mario runs full tilt or not at all. the right analog won't bind (which i map to the C buttons in PC emulators, for example).

Has anyone else had any luck, or any suggestions?

This is my first Android device. Interesting so far!

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
Ignore the spammer ^

You've come up against the big problem with Android games/controllers, I don't think there's one controller that just works with everything. You end up having to buy multiple controllers or live with on screen controls. I guess it's a profit thing, if there was one standard architecture then sales of controllers would gravitate to the ones that are actually good, leaving loads of others with no sales.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Crimson Ghoul:
I use my Gametel controller that I bought off of amazon. It lets you use it in a variety of ways. you can either map it to letters or use as a gamepad or even fake it as the xperia play's gamepad. some games don't respond to it properly like bard's tale or GTA
[Nexus 7 Accessories] PromaneX:
Why is he a spammer? He's linked to a valid resource for getting a controller.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
Because that's about all he/she ever does, and always the same site = spammer.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] patatipatata:
Yes.

I would call that a spammer.

So essentially, it goes down to the apps you are going to use it with.

What about emulation ?

Is there a gamepad out there that works on pretty much all platform emulators ?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hausman:
I was playing around with settings tonight and discovered Settings -> More Settings (under Data) -> tethering. Checked it, paired my phone and my Win7 PC, initiated an "access point" connection from the PC, and suddenly I was browsing while using my phone as an access point. Granted it was 3G speeds, but it did work.

Does this work for me because I have mobile hotspot, or is this a feature that shouldn't be working, or does it work for everyone? I'm not rooted, using the latest software update (with multiview). I can't even remember far enough back to when a carrier would have ever simply allowed bluetooth tethering, not even Sprint. It's a nice feature to have since WiFi radios usually wear batteries down faster.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] moose1313:
this will work for anyone the only thing differnet for people subscribing to hotspot and those who dont is the ability to wirelessly tether with hotspot. hopefully soon we anyone rooted at least will be able to use free wifi thether
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hausman:
Interesting, thanks. I'm still surprised Sprint would allow this considering they offer unlimited data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cruton:
That's weird. I just tried this and I got an error 67, registration failed. Maybe they "fixed" it in the software update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hausman:
Are using a Galaxy Note 2 on Sprint? Your image tag says you're on AT&T.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cortezproductions:
Sprint has unlimited data on the phone data only. They have separate plans for hotspots.

2GB @ $19.99

6GB @ $49.99
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hausman:
I wasn't talking about hotspot. I was talking about Bluetooth tethering, and asking if it requires hotspot to work, because with unlimited data you could tether with bluetooth and theoretically have unlimited internet on your PC through your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamice4u:
Can you tether via wifi? There is a wifi tethering app. You can find on xda or PM me and I will email it to you or post a dropbox link.

Hi:

I just updated to 4.2 and now can't download from the playstore. There are updates available but whenever I try, I get the following error:

Update for xxx could not be downloaded due to an error. Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])

Pretty fundamental problem. Any ideas?

[Nexus 7 General] just lou:

[Nexus 7 General] deadeyed:
same here!
[Nexus 7 General] kingofcomedy:
Me too. Already cleared cache and data of the play store app.
[Nexus 7 General] thenrik:
I've tried clearing cache and data from the Google Play Store in Apps as well as a force stop but no luck. I did the same with Google Play Services but still no luck. I've seen websites that recommend deleting your account and then adding it back in but I don't know if it's a good idea with the N7

Tom
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
I can confirm that deleting your Google account and re-adding it solves the problem.

[Nexus 7 General] hkultraman:
For the option 2, do i need to re-install everything?
[Nexus 7 General] p3ngwin:
no re-install needed.

when you remove your Google account it warns you will "remove contacts, messages, and other data from the phone", but it is not as bad as it sounds because it is NOT your personal data, files, pics, vids, etc it is ONLY the Google synced data like contacts, messages, etc that YOU WILL get back when you re-add the Google account and re-sync.

TL;DR removing your Google sync account and re-adding it results in NOTHING lost and fixed the problem for me :)
[Nexus 7 General] hkultraman:
So i don't need to install my app again? the only thing i care is take long to re-install my app

many thx
[Nexus 7 General] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
I've had this issue numerous times with the play store not just on 4.2 update, a good set of steps to follow to recover from this and most other store and sync issues:

1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications

2. Go to "All"

3. Scroll down to 'Google Play Store', 'Google Services Framework' and 'Google Play Services' and complete the following three steps for each:

Click on 'Force Close'

Click on 'Clear Data'

Click on 'Uninstall Updates'

4. Go into your Google account and disable all the sync options so nothing is ticked.

5. Reboot your device now, do not run any of the applications.

6. Re-enable all your sync options under your Google account

7. Re-Boot again, now you can go and try the Play store and let everything sync back up, should all be 'hey ho pip and dandy'.

I know deleting your account and re-enabling solves it, but I think it's always helpful to have different ideas and options :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eddog4DROID:
Well, I decided to take the plunge. I have upgraded and moved on to the Nexus 10. This tablet has been good to me for the last 18 months, but I don't want to rely on rooting to have the latest software and sometimes there's just a little bit of lag that's upsetting. And I'm just not a fan of TouchWiz.

Tablets aren't as important to me as the smartphone that I am carrying, but I think this upgrade will last me a long long time. So it was worth it.

I haven't heard or read about many people here talking about the Nexus 10 yet*. Should I assume that everyone is just content with the Galaxy Tab 10.1? How much longer do you guys see yourself with it?

* Edit: let me clarify since this was not understood. Many forums talk about the "next" device to move on to. For example, the Galaxy Nexus forum had lots of talk going on about "should I upgrade to the Nexus 4?" There really was no 10" Nexus tablet, and it seems our device (10.1) is the logical precursor (Grandparent?) to the Nexus 10, which seems to be a GTab 2 10.1 on steroids.

Edit #2: See my post on page two with a full comparison now that I have both devices.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] anguslaw:
Why do not you go to Nexus 10 forum? Here is galaxy tab forum, of cause people are talking about galaxy tab only.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] okty2k:
It was a little bit of "I got my brand new toy", please understand him... :)

But the OP was right... there are not so many Nexus 10 users here.... in the Galaxy Tab forum.

Sorry, for being off topic... but I don't see the topic. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eddog4DROID:
How do you guys not understand the original post. I am specifically asking Galaxy Tab users, not users of any other device, if they plan on upgrading.

The Galaxy Tab has now been around for a long time. It seems this might be the next logical step for some of you. Or does the Galaxy Tab do everything you need still?

I really only got the Nexus 10 after the Nexus 4 was sold out and I wanted to walk away with something. But I'm still happy about the upgrade. Though I could have used the tab quite a bit longer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] styckx:
Just ignore it.. I understood your post just fine.

To answer your post. I moved on to the N7.. I purchased my 16GB version then two weeks later the 32GB was released and I exchanged it out. I haven't looked back since.. My Galaxy Tab sits on my TV stand and has been there for weeks now with an uptime of 445 hrs (just checked) and a screen on time of 5 minutes.. It's literally a paperweight. I tried to use the tab as just an e-reader but.. Seriously.. The Tab 10.1 sucks.. Once you use a real tablet on real hardware that isn't crippled and under-performing the flaws, lag, stuttering and slowness we already knew about the Galaxy Tab 10.1 are just heightened to the point you want to smash it.

So yes.. I moved on. I would buy the Nexus 10 if I had a need for a 10 inch but after using the N7.. I no longer want a 10 inch tablet.. For me the 7inch form factor is perfect.

BTW Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the Nexus family! Home of prompt updates straight from Google and pure AOSP support right out of the gate.. You'll never buy a non-Nexus device again
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
I'm not yet satisfied with the Nexus 10, perhaps I'll go for google's next 10inch tablet, though I might get a N7 before then, but I think I'd miss the larger sceen (a more likely scenario is that somebody else in the household would be the primary user)

P.S. Actually, maybe I would get it if I wasn't getting the N⁴, but two new devices is probably)too much for me atm, and (for me) the N10 definitely doesn't justify it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Eddog4DROID:
Well I thank the last two users for "getting" it. That's all I was asking for, the perspective of 10.1 users.

To me the N10 advantages over the 10.1 are:

AOSP - No Touchwiz! (or Rooting needed)

Prompt Updates

Resolution makes reading a joy

Lag free on the A15 Cortex.

Doesn't look like an iPad

Lightweight but apparently a very sturdy, industrial design

If I DID choose to root and ROM, a bigger community because it's a Nexus(?)

Standard MicroUSB Charging connection

These things are a wash:

Cameras? Meh. Never use them anyway.

Battery life? I've never had any opinion of the 10.1's battery life. It's not a smartphone that I am constantly using so it last me several days in-between charges. I'm sure the N10 will be the same.

Design and looks: The 10.1 probably does look better? Though, more Appleish. So it's about even.

I honestly wanted to find more reasons why keeping the 10.1 makes sense. And as far as a point-by-point argument, the Nexus 10 wins hands down. But that doesn't really matter because it depends on how you are using a tablet. To me, a tablet is always secondary to my smartphone. I use it far less. The Browser, Email, Google Reader, scan the news apps. That's mostly it. I don't play games. I don't video chat. So really, even though I think the Nexus 10 is far superior, the 10.1 did most of what I wanted just fine. So I can't blame anyone for keeping the 10.1 (unless you're still using it on Stock TouchWiz 4.0, where it is soo laggy, etc? My Jelly Bean ROM has been fantastic!). If you don't like to root to "fix" things, but you are a heavy tablet user, than I'm thinking you probably are looking to upgrade--which goes back to the original question: Is the Nexus 10 good enough? I guess I'll see in a couple days... I'll probably post back some comparisons later.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] styckx:
This.. This is why I am no longer interested in a 10inch.

Before I had my N7 as you said my phone would be my go to device and my Tab was second fiddle.. It was big, not very portable and kind of awkward to use in most circumstances unless you were just flipping through a book or something. Now.. Ever since I got my Nexus 7.. My phone is second fiddle.. The N7 form factor is like a phone on steroids.. Larger enough to make reading, gaming, app use and browsing much easier but small enough where it doesn't feel like you're Fred Flintstone holding a slab in your hands either.

This is ultimately the reason my Galaxy Tab has fall to the way side entirely and also my phone.. The 7 inch form factor is the perfect combination between phone and tablet..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] LurkSkywalker:
I never needed a tablet but I liked my TAB (especially since ICS). But the Nexus 7 really hit the spot: now I feel I DO need to have a tablet around. For me (old eyes and all), the 10 inch screen is a bit better for classic WEB browsing (and a lot better as a remote to my PCs), but the format and weight of the N7 makes it the "go to" device for anything but "work stuff".

I thought a lot about the N10 these past couple of weeks, but in the end I passed (and I still have the TAB: not worth the hassle of selling at this point; I'll use it intermittently until I find a potential Android recruit to recycle it to). I think I may wait for the Nexus 8 (lighter, much thinner bezel, high ppi... and able to replace any and all of my remotes).

P.-S. --- The N7 fits in the pockets of my hoodies: no X10 would!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rjohmit:
I have a wifi tab 10.1, a 4G tab 7.7, and a GS3.

I use the 7.7 and GS3 far more than I use the 10.1. Probably use the 7.7 the most. It's portability and the 4G give it an advantage over the 10.1 while the larger screen gives it an advantage over the GS3. I'd love to get a N10, but it's more because I love gadgets than any real need for it. I'd love the S Pen functionality of the Note 10.1, but wish it was quad core... And obviously the N10 doesn't have this. So the primary draw of the N10 is the display and the prompt updates since it's a reference device.

If I had the money, I'd probably get a N10...though Engadget wasn't terribly impressed by it. I may try to get my hands on a Note 10.1 cuz the S Pen functionality would make it a good tool for work.

Never been impressed by the N7. The screen feels narrow and its fat/heavy. I'll happily exchange the quad-core processor for the thin, light design and AMOLED screen of the tab 7.7.
