[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msarro:
Hey everyone. I just saw that on Black Friday sprint will be selling Galaxy S3's for 49.99. Since My new technology upgrade credit is around 150$, and my HTC evo4g is starting to be less than stellar, I figure it is time to upgrade. While I despise touchwiz, I'm hoping that I can get the phone rooted and running a nice minimalist launcher fairly quick. Lately the evo has a hard time consistently getting data service, the WiMax 4g is a joke, and even on a fresh install of a minimalist mod I'm getting "out of space" warnings. Time to put it out to pasture. This seems like a perfect time to upgrade.

However I saw in a few threads people mentioning, "modified" or "official" status. What does this mean? Is it something that affects phones from all carriers, or only one? What happens if you're "modified" vs if you're "official?"

Also, since this same phone was released on multiple carriers, are there separate mods out there based on who your carrier is?

One other item: every thread I've seen about rooting has mentioned using Clockwork Mod. Is AmonRa supported?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
If you root your device using some of the methods, the status will be "modified". I think some root methods don't change this but I was never bothered as it doesn't affect device performance. Just probably for warranty purposes. Searching will sort your queries out
[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
Any word on cases that will launch along side the DNA next week? Would the wireless charging / NFC have the distance to work through a case?

Are you planning on putting a case on your DNA?

Personally, I'm not planning on getting a case. I think the phone looks too good on it's own to cover it up. My only concern would be dust and pocket lint getting in the open grill sides.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonah1234:
I think it would work with a case but I don't think you really need a case with gorilla glass 2 but if I do get one it will most likely be the tpu case because I always buy that on my android devices and love the design and feel so much.

[HTC Droid DNA] Trooper Thorn:
I don't like the added bulk of cases, though I'll be getting a screen protector as soon as one is available. HTC adds an additional glossy coating on top of the Gorilla Glass, and it is more prone to surface scratches than the Gorilla Glass itself.

Plus I have two pieces of dust underneath the Galaxy S3 screen protector I've got on the DNA temporarily. Want to get that remedied ASAP.

Otterbox Defender and Commuter cases already available: http://bit.ly/RDY6ka
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
not exactly, it lets you sign up for a notification for when they will be available
[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
I was able to grab this from VZW when I pre-ordered ($19.99)
[HTC Droid DNA] Zalatorisaurus:
Whoops. I didn't actually delve into the product pages.
[HTC Droid DNA] scariestgnome:
The one thing I think case makers will overlook is the backside notification LED. Being not thick and able to see the notification light, I think I'll stick to a clear tpu case.
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
i think some of the "less reputable" ones might, but i would hope the bigger names would take it into account.
[HTC Droid DNA] nnnnr14:
The one otterbox made for the DNA is covering the back notification light.
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
i saw that in the pictures,but i was wondering if they did what htc did and microperfed it
[HTC Droid DNA] Zalatorisaurus:
I'm wondering the same thing. I like the otterboxes for the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] charlatan01:
Guys, gals...

If you haven't seen, there's another thread with the case I think this phone might be deserving of. I by no means take credit for finding it, but here's the thread.
[HTC Droid DNA] Zalatorisaurus:
That's awesome. I'd totally pick one up if they make them for the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] Thrillhouse847:
I found this via Google search but I'm not really sure how reputable it is (seems kind of sketchy). There are already several cases listed for the DNA.

I received word from Incipio stating they don't plan on making anything for the DNA. I agree about the sketchiness of the Tessco site. I searched on Incipio for some of the product numbers listed, with nothing found.
[HTC Droid DNA] ML417:
Seidio will be making cases for the DNA, i've been wanting to get a hold of one of their cases for a while now and just needed an excuse
[HTC Droid DNA] Ranger093:
Tessco

Tessco supplies to retailers.
[HTC Droid DNA] serpentine009:
Does anyone know of any phone with fairly similar dimensions? Most of what I researched has the DNA being taller. The reason I ask is because I like sleeves instead of a case....I guess it's an old blackberry habit. I had the original Nexus neoprene one for my OG Incredible. If I can find a quality sleeve for another device, it

might

suit the DNA just fine.

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] TommyGun$:
Body Glove Drop suit is available on eBay for the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] SwiftLegend:
I really hope Speck makes some cases for this phone. I love the look of their Candyshell cases. Their cases are pretty much the only thing that lures me to getting an iPhone :p
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
has anyone who got the droid branded silicon case from vzw noticed the nice criss cross pattern on the back of their phone when they removed the case?
[HTC Droid DNA] x4sper:
Whaaaaaattttt

they dont go away over time? any pics?
[HTC Droid DNA] germanmafia88:
I'm very picky about my cases but love the Verizon polycarbonate case. The screen protector from them is nice too and doesn't take away from the screen. I came from a platinum case for my thunderbolt and an incipio for my iPhone 4 and I like this the best. It doesn't add weight or thickness to the phone and is sturdy. Plus you can see the back notification light.
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
i'll try to get some pics soon, when i have a camera handy, hopefully by tomorrow for sure. not sure if they go away over time since i have had the case off a day or so they are still nice and clear
[HTC Droid DNA] germanmafia88:
That is odd.. that is the case I have but am not seeing them on my phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] x4sper:
i just picked my DNA up and didn't get a case because of this.. lol its to sexy of a phone anyways NO CASE!
[HTC Droid DNA] Danzoman:
I have the blue tpu and have the criss cross. But, they rely can be rubbed out with your thumb as they are only indentations not scratches in the soft touch coating. Kinda like when you put your hand on a memory foam mattress.
[HTC Droid DNA] x4sper:
Cool maybe ill pick one up

[HTC Droid DNA] jonjvaughn:
I bought the following case for my Nexus 7:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008RX2ZV4/ref=oh_details_o06_s01_i00

If I could find the same or similar for the DNA, I'd be happy. One of the best cases I've ever come across. Protects yet the dedvice comes out in a quick second to mount in the car or use naked when needed. Slimness adds almost nothing.

Seems like I saw something similar on a Notes 2 in a commercial (LeBron maybe?) but so far no can find for DNA. Close but not it yet. Most similar call themselves "wallet-style". Let me know if you see one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aknbad23:
I just successfully rooted my phone using the DooMLoRD method. I wan't to use a Jellybean custom rom(probably aokp). What kernel do I need? I have a Galaxy S2 with version 2.3.4 and gingerbread.uckh7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
You need one with cwm baked in. It's that simple. The rom you select will flash the recommended kernel

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
All roms will automatically flash an appropriate kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aknbad23:
Ok, but don't I need to backup my phone(contacts,apps,etc) with CWM recovery before I put a ROM on it? That would mean I need a CWM kernel right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsmboost:
These are really basic and common questions that you are asking and can be easily found by searching. I'm just giving you a fair warning, because you will be flamed by others for not searching.

Creating backups via CWM is not a requirement to flash anything. It is highly recommended that you do create backups though (especially if you're new to this), in case something goes wrong while flashing stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aknbad23:
Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Divine_Madcat:
And with that, i will close this here, and advise further searching in the future (if you are willing to do something that can hose your phone, please take 10 minutes, and read the basic guides on what to do... it will be a life saver..)

Did you go to settings/ sound/ enable haptic feedback
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Mr Chicago:
I have this same issue and haptic feedback is checked
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Easiest fix and what I recommend after such a large update. Factory reset. Yes you'll lose apps and all but your phone will run nice afterwards.

Just find the solution just make sure power save is off that work for me good luck thanks guys:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyva:
Since upgrading to JB 4.2 the Amazon app store keeps having me authenticate periodically. I assume that this is related to the JB update, but I haven't seen anyone else mention this issue. Particularly when accessing Tweetcaster Pro is when I see the issue start, but then no other app works correctly.

Just for some background, I wiped my phone yesterday with 4.1 and then installed 4.2. I have the latest version of the app store and have tried clearing cache/data, uninstalling, reinstalling. No help.

So I'd like to know if anyone else is seeing this or if it is just me.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Probably just needs a compatibility update, same as every other app that isn't working on 4.2 right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyva:
Thanks. I figured that was the case. I would just be more at ease knowing I wasn't alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Johnassel:
Same behaviour here after updating to 4.2. Hope Amazon is fast with a fix...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarmstr:
Same here - driving me freaking crazy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaptainShanks:
You may have to redownload the Appstore apk, there seems to be one with a new layout now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
It kept asking me to sign in and when I did it was saying wrong password even though I knew it was right. I only had about 3 paid apps for free that I still used so I just uninstalled them and purchased from the play store and uninstalled the amazon app store.....haven't "bought" a free app in like 3 months...the selection is getting to be crap
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyva:
Ain't that the truth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyva:
Sorry for you, but glad to hear it. I ended up calling them today and they hadn't heard of any issues. I suspect they know now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pwc realtor:
I'm getting the same thing too although my login credentials actually work. The one thing I haven't checked is whether or not these logins are creating a new device authorization every time.

I completely wiped my phone before upgrading to 4.2 and Amazon App store and Verizon FiOS Mobile Remote are the only two apps with issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dc82:
I have the same issue with Forum Runner. Every time I close the app I get signed out and need to re-login every time I open it back up. So annoying but I'm guessing its a 4.2 update thing. I've deleted it and re-downloaded it and it made no difference.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I know that feel, I just uninstalled it altogether.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyva:
Unfortunately, I have a few FAOTD that I use frequently, so I have to keep it installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyva:
They explained to me that everytime you login, it creates a new device instance. They limit it at 25. I hit that mark yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I've read that in the past, but it's never been true for me. I use TubeMate from Amazon and dont need the Amazon Market installed to do so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cgp1:
Having the same issue with the app store. Just got off the phone with amazon and they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RocketOptics:
Ouch! I just logged in to my Amazon account and saw all the "Nexus 7 xx" devices that were registered.

Thanks for the heads up. I deregistered all the new devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bishop Scientifics:
This worked for me

From another forum I found this solution to work:

1) Delete Google Account

2) Reboot Device

3) Reactivate Google Account

4) Log on with Amazon Appstore App

All apps load and run without need to log on each time now.

I also deleted excess Amazon devices as noted above.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rassnik:
seems like it does not work for me.

still working for you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tcat007:
Yeah it does add a new device each time... I have 7! Deleted 6 of them... still same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tankslappa:
I'm having the same issue on my N7 which received the JB4.2 update yesterday.

I only really use the Amazon Appstore once a day to check on the latest free app, and every time I open it it asks for username and password.

I guess they were slack with their programming, didn't follow best practise, and now the location they picked for storing the user/pass has fallen fowl of the multiuser code in 4.2.

I just downloaded the latest, and no change.

I also checked to see if I could find multiple devices against my account, but I can't even find where this information is! The account info is just a mess of links, but not one of them includes the word "app" except "apply for ..."

Is it just the .co.uk site, or is it a global mess? can anyone point me in the correct direction?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coreyva:
For us in the US it's

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tankslappa:
Thanks Coreyva, I found it eventually. Their site really could do with a tidy up, it's become a mess!

Anyway, I'm almost up to a dozen N7's...

Having to log in is getting tedious, and it's also illustrated how annoying the Amazon DRM that is integrated into the apps can be. This means that if I am abroad without a data connection (very common as mobile data roaming is extortionately expensive) I probably won't be able to use any of the apps from Amazon...

Note to self, don't splash out on any off-line capable mapping software from Amazon, because by the time they DRM it, it won't be off-line capable!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tcat007:
I'm going to start replacing my free Amazon apps with free Playstore apps (yeah I'll see more ads.. but I may root to get rid of them)... and if it's an app I really like I'll just support the developer. Amazon is so slow at updating apps anyway, I just needed an excuse to start doing this. Once they're all gone I'll delete the Appstore!

Hopefully they'll fix this before I get rid of 31 free apps! (I have like 100 at Amazon, only 31 on my N7)

Edit: I am told that rolling back appstore to this apk will temporarily solve the problem (until they fix it). I've gone about 30 minutes so far with wifi on and off, and so far log-in has stuck. I deleted all registered Nexus devices on my PC and deleted the Appstore on my N7 first. Downloaded the apk to Dropbox to my N7 download folder, and installed. Going to diner, if still logged in after, I'll report.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tankslappa:
Hi Tcat,

I've just received a message from Amazon giving me the same link.

They say the technical team are aware... I bet they are! lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] risktaker:
I spoke to a rep and they are aware of the issue but there's no fix at this time but there will be soon since a lot of people reporting the issue. It has to be an issue with the high-resolution of the screen.

Attached a few screenshots for people's reference to the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] addictarmy:
The tiny text is annoying. I've found that if you launch and keep it it portrait that things won't appear tiny at least.

Fixed today. Question, my update shows amazon 4.3.14.2C, but I've read the update is amazon 4.3.14.3C... what's yours?

I'm still having this issue. Have uninstalled the App Store numerous times, deleted the new device entries on Amazon.com to no avail, I still have to re-log in all the time and multiple new device entries are being created for my Galaxy Nexus. Very annoying. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarmstr:
Yes this issue seems to brr creeping back. I'm seeing it as well, about once or twice a day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Forgen:
Let's find a way to resolve this issue ourselves

I even remember seeing an Amazon Appstore changelog a month or two ago saying they 'resolved the credentials issues with 4.2'... but I still have to re log into the Amazon appstore (and create Galaxy Nexus [n+1] on the Authorized Devices list) every day... such a PITA!

Someone must be able to help us fix this, as opposed to waiting for Amazon to figure it out, if they are even going to work it.

As it's not a systemic problem, it may be more likely that the problem is not theirs to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rafa3L:
I gave up on Amazon. The frequently used apps that I got from Amazon I instead got them from Google Play. There weren't many. Now I don't have to login everyday. Only when I occasionally play a game that I got from Amazon (daily free app).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasrudin78:
Hi all.

I unlocked my DHD using htcdev method. As only wanted to install custom ROMs, it was perfect for me. Now, I want to flash a radio but I didn't know that with this method isn't allowed. I think the only difference btw s-OFF and htcdev is at this point. can I flash a radio from clockwork zip option?

If not, which alternatives I have? Probably team win recovery project? (twrp) I heard that is not affected by htcdev restrictions...

opinions?

thx

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
I don't think you can flash a radio from any recovery (CWM or TWRP or 4ext), or least I'm not aware of a method; you'll need to do it from HBOOT (which requires S-OFF).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
No, flashing a partition such as radios or some other stuff is not allowed with an unlocked bootloader. The unlocked bootloader does not give you total control of your device as S-OFF does and of course HTCDEV leaves traces of the unlocked whereas running the Hack Kit does not and warranty is still running.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nasrudin78:
but my DHD is 2+ years old. so the warranty is not applying in any case. Does it worth to change s-off only for experiment with radio flashing? If so, which steps should

I follow after re locking bootloader?

thx.

Enviado desde mi Desire HD usando Tapatalk 2
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
What's wrong with your radio? If the only reason you want to switch is to flash a radio, and you want to do it just to experiment (as in, you have no problems with your current radio), you probably don't need to bother. However, S-OFF gives you more options and makes flashing easier; you can flash ported ROMs with S-OFF and you don't need to flash the boot.img separately each time, both of which aren't true with HTCDEV unlock. If you'd like those things, then use AAHK (google for it: "aahk attn1") after relocking.

How to Root the Trio Stealth Pro 9.7

(a.k.a. Trio Stealth Pro 9.7C 4.0)

The Trio Stealth Pro 9.7 is Mach Speed Technologies' second entry into the Android Tablet market. Their first entry was the Trio Stealth Pro 7 and it came already rooted. Unfortunately this one, its bigger brother, did not come rooted.

But our friend Bin4ry has come up with an innovative solution that works on many ICS and JB tablets and phones. And fortunately for us it works on the Trio Stealth Pro 9.7.

His post titled Root MANY ANDROID! [Upd: 13.10.2012] can be found on this forum at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

Be sure to view his "How to" video on youtube before attempting this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EpkrCq1gfM

You will see in the video he says to test the adb drivers and to not attempt this root until you pass that test. So here is my real contribution in that the folks at Mach Speed have a nearly useless support site that hasn't been updated to include either Stealth Pro tablet in any case. So what you need to know is that the Trio Stealth 9.7 is basically a rebranded MOMO11 Bird edition. Then you need to find a Spanish language forum post that refers you to the following site for the MOMO11 Bird edition (upgraded to 4.0.4) drivers:

Get the drivers here -

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] brooklynite:
hi there, Im trying to buy this and wanted to ask you a few questions:

1) What is the screen resolution? 1280x768? or 1920x1200?

2) Have you been able to ROOT it? Not sure why you would as I am sure it can install any APK file and does not have cell service to root to tether with. I rooted my phone just to get free tethering working.

3) Can you install Google Play on it? How about amazon apps? Is installing google apps such as Gmail/Youtube/Maps as easy as downloading the APK from androidpolice or similar and installing them?

4) have you tried playing any 720p mkv movie/show files, I dont even know if it easily reads external drive and/or it has file explorer to copy files to it.

Sorry to have asked you these in this thread but you seem to be the only person who owns it and I may pick one up fro walmart tomorrow. :laugh:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] WaltA:
I just picked up one of these tablets, early this Black Friday morning from K Mart.

The box says 1204x768

I haven't tried to ROOT it yet.

I downloaded Google Play v3.10.9 APK file from here and it installed OK. I was able to run the app well enough to get up a Google account, Gmail,, and link the tablet to it. However, whenever I try to actually download an app, either from the Play app or from the website, the Play app on the tablet fails and gives an error msg it stopped working. The manufacturer does offer is own app website (apps.triomp3.com), with a small minimal number of apps. I also found that Aptoide works and offers a reasonable number of apps, like Chrome and Google Sky.

I haven't tried that yet, but the tablet does have a file explorer already installed.
