[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3Shirts:
Hi,

I have a problem where every so often the screen will randomly wake up. It's like a notification has come in but it hasn't

I've tried GSAM Battery Monitor and it looks like Maps is responsible. Not sure why it is doing it though or how to stop it without disabling Maps and I don't want to do that as I use the latitude background features.

It's annoying when it lights up the room randomly at night!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamina1:
I currently have a Samsung Captivate on AT&T, and while it is a popular phone that gets lots of rom updates from the community, I fear that it may be reaching the limit of its capabilities due to the single-core processor and limited RAM. I just reached the end of my contract, and I was hoping to save some money by switching to Ting.

If you are not familiar, they offer service on the Sprint network (same towers, same system) on a pay-as-you-go basis similar to Metro PCS. Anyway, I love being able to mod my phone, and I don't want to lose that if I upgrade, and I'm thinking about getting the SIII.

Since all these roms are based on Sprint phones, will they work on Ting automatically or is something special required to make them function properly on a different (yet the same) network?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
I bought my SGS3 directly from Ting. Everything works perfectly. It's a Sprint phone, all the way down to the Sprint logo on the back plate, so in terms of software everything is compatible. In terms of network, there's nothing special about Ting: you're still connecting to Sprint's network (and your phone will even show that you're connected to Sprint, not Ting), so you won't have to do anything special to get ROMs working.

Oh, and if you're only saving "some" money switching to Ting, you're doing it wrong. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamina1:
The reason I ask is that it seems lots of people are trying to flash roms on their devices and having trouble getting the data to work on Ting. Is this something to do with them trying to work with devices that ting currently does not provision, not actual Ting-sourced devices?

Is there something persistent in the hardware that says "I am a Ting Phone" rather than "I am a Sprint Phone" if its software based, I would think a Rom Flash would wipe it away. Sorry for my unfamiliarity - but I've been with AT&T forever so I'm only familiar with the SIM-based GSM system.

And to your comment about "some" money - since I'm currently on a 21% discount through AT&T, and I have to buy a new phone to join Ting, I probably won't save ANY money by switching, unless I stay with them longer than 2 years. If I stick with the status-quo, Ting offers me no financial reason to switch.

My issue is that if I want a new device from AT&T given that they've refactored their plans to require a $40 mandatory data package above and beyond any voice plan, I go from paying about $60 to paying well over $90 and that WILL offer a savings from Ting, even if you factor in the cost of an S3.

So its either I stick with what I have, an outdated phone, or get a new one. How much money I invest to do so is my choice, and I choose Ting.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] decimalman:
TBH I'm not very familiar with the underlying workings of the network, I'm just reporting on my experiences. It'd be nice if someone who knows what they're talking about could chime in here.

I see a few threads on the Ting forums where people are getting spotty or non-existent 3G when they bring a non-Ting phone over. I haven't seen anybody reporting problems when flashing ROMs on a Ting-sourced phone. If I've overlooked a thread, please link me to it and I'll investigate.

On the S3, the network stuff isn't stored in any of the partitions that are wiped when flashing ROMs. Unless the ROM is severely misbehaving and writing to these partitions, flashing should be completely harmless.

I see your point about Ting's costs. It certainly does take a while to pay off the initial investment, especially when you've already got a good deal going with AT&T.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamina1:
Awesome, thanks for the insight. I was worried mainly because the only information I could find about Ting was people having issues, and it wasn't clear whether or not those were Ting devices or others trying to connect to Ting with unsupported devices. The only information I could find was bad stuff, so I was scared for a bit.

Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gmplr831@comcast.net:
BYOD on Ting

Also, fyi, Ting is bringing a BYOD (bring your own device) for limited sprint phones next year. They will be using the sprint system to activate them over into Ting. So if you were to buy certain Sprint phones (we don't know which yet) you will be able to use a non Ting phone on ting's "network"(which in reality is sprint...)

[HTC One X] spiderywookie:
I recently rooted and rom'ed my htc one xl (att original one x), and after soft bricking my phone, i finally got the kernel and rom on there and everything working.

The only issue is that there is no settings button (the 3 vertical dots) in the top right of any app that used to have it (gtalk for example).

I tried aokp and they still weren't there. Is this normal for the One X? if not how do I fix it?

sorry if i'm totally derping - even my friend who's much more into rooting/roming is clueless at my problem.

****** UPDATE *****

I also just realized that I can't press and hold on contacts in the gtalk app to bring up the context menu either - trying to find another app now to test the press and hold context menu

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBusterCB87:
Is it just me or does android Overall lack standardizations?

There are so many different versions of android tablets and phones that app developers seem to have to make for one, then keep changing for others.

Things do not seem to be cross compatible between devices either.

The way I'm looking at is is like windows:

With windows you have all kinds of PC's and there is a standard, Keyboard & mouse. Windows interfaces between the hardware and apps and allows seamless transfer between different PC's with windows OS.

Then I look at android. And what runs on my android tablet, wont work on my friends tablet. Same in reverse.

Basically has anyone else noticed this? Lack of standardization when it comes to a practical interface?

And it seems to fall on the app devs to support a specific device, when android itself should be the interface between the hardware and the app.

Does anyone see where I'm coming from?

What does everyone else think?

Do you think there will eventually be a standard with android devices like what happen to the PC after Microsoft made windows and created a standard in that respect?

Do you think that traditional PC computers running windows and MAC will eventually phase out?

--------------------------------------------

And whats the deal with a phone needing 2 GHz dual core CPU's?

If the code was optimized properly, wouldn't you be able to get the same speed and quality from half that?

I've seen high end android tablet lag badly, when an intel PC of lesser speed runs windows just fine.

I dont get it, It would save battery power as well if it was refined, would it not?

---------------------------------------------

I dont really want this to be a question air post and people answer, I'm hoping all kinds of us people can have one big giant discussion.

Maybe if enough people want a standard for tablets and smartphones like there is with computers, there will be better progress.

Because at the moment, everyone seems to be doing their own thing, and they are all suing each other over the dumbest details, so what if someone elses device has a home button in the front like an iPhone, where else would you put it?

I think Samsung has the best setup of all of them, its touch buttons in the front bottom, other buttons on the sides.

Seems like a good place to start a standard design, don't you think?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premsrj:
The biggest advantage that Android currently has is that its available for every price range, in every flavor you would want. Android reached 72% market share not due to the flagships but due to the lower end devices that majority of consumers buy. Standardizing the specs at a high end would cause it to not be affordable for many people especially in countries outside the US where there are no carrier subsidies. So I vote for it to go on like this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zBusterCB87:
I mean creating a standard like with windows PC's, they are all the same basically, and each has its own price range and level of power.

And windows is the interface between the hardware and the software you install.

With android, I don't see this, I see app developers having to make the app for each device, when they should just have to make it for the android OS, and the android OS is the interface and inturpurtation between the app you install and the device hardware.

Aside from that, they should all at least have a basic standard interface like home, back, search, power, volume, buttons and then the touch screen. Kinda like the samsung phone design.

There are only so many physically achievable ways we can design a smart phone, for example apple sued Samsung over copying their iPhone because the home button on the Samsung phone was mechanical. I mean, what is this world coming to? Where would apple have liked samsung to stick the home button? On the back of the device?

It is in a practical location. So why not put it front and bottom of the screen?

I'm after a "basic" standard, not a complete identical standard. Something kinda like how every windows PC has the same basic keyboard design and mouse design. The rest can be different... But apply it to smart phones and tablets in their own respective interfaces designed.

See what I mean?

(I'm thinking of this great world where android ARM tablets, PC's, and phones replace the current computer systems and stuff. It would work, android seems to be able to do so much more and consume so much less power. While maintaining the same or greater speeds.)

For a £99 Tablet what would you sacrifice to hit that price point?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spielnicht:
Ok, as the title says, I need to know just one thing about the Nexus 4 from previous GNex owners that is never covered in any reviews: Vibrate.

How does the vibration mechanism compare to the GNex? Is it more noticeable? I miss phone calls and notifications like crazy on my GNex when I have it in my pocket or even out on the table on Vibrate. My wife on the other hand can feel her iPhone through her purse.

So, how does it compare? This is the only thing I would want to know to sell my GNex and get the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkisgood123:
I remember on another thread I read up one they said the Nexus 4 vibrates strong. I will confirm when I get my phone today.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
The N4 and the GN both use linear oscillator vibration motors, which are less violent and noisy than the rotating out of balance weight design that that older phones (and the iPhone 2G/3/3G/3GS/5) use.

That might explain it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sampy14:
the vibration is so much better on the Nexus 4 (lower in terms of frequency and much more intense). For the last few days I had both of the phones and the difference is noticeable. Also i absolutely love the haptic feedback when typing.

Hi!

I just recieved a Galaxy S and i have a problem.

At the beggining, the phone bootloops. Then I full wipe it, so now doesn't have that problem. Now the problem is, that when it loaded and show the start settings (select lang, date, time etc.) every single application on the phone "Force Close" and the phone reboot itself and repeat the same procedure. I don't know what kernel, ROM the phone use, but i think it is the stock one (2.3.4 or 2.3.6)

I am able to go to Download Mode, but when I do that, the phone can't connect with ODIN, also my computer doesn't recognize my phone when i am in Download Mode (when i try to turn on the phone, then my computer recognize: Samsung Android USB ...)

I also tryed to change the ROM via recovery, but there i've got very few options (reboot, apply updates, wipe data, wipe cache), so i'm not able to change the ROM from there.

Please, tell me what to do. :)
