Was thinking that... What should I go with on CL? Was looking yesterday band didn't see anything decent.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] KyleK29:
So you decided on the S3? I'm in the same boat, ironically limited to the same three choices. I've checked out all three. So far I'm contemplating. I'm still using an original Evo4g. Right now, both the S3 and Optimus G are $99 on Amazon for upgrades.

- Galaxy Note 2 was eliminated, too big for me. Although I *do* like the multi-task ability it has.

S3 -->

- Appears to have a good quality camera. Even though Optimus G has 13mp, I've read in reviews it's got horrible low-light performance (non-existent).

- Good screen.

- Removable battery.

OpG -->

- Beats the S3 in CPU benchmarks.

- Better form factor (imho).

I like the smaller size of the OpG, but that comes at the cost of being a single piece (no removable back piece) and most likely "glued" together. So that means that once the battery starts to die, it's going to be a pain to service.

I'd be all over the OpG if it had strong developer support, but the S3 clearly has the edge in that so far. So it's a tough one.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] _Epic:
Check out my mod for the camera in development. Greatly improves the camera.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bizzshow26:
I had the evo lte, the gnex, the s3, and this honestly this is the best of them all. The dev support for the other phones are much better, but the raw potential this phone holds far exceeds the others. The only phone I considered with my upgrade was this and the note 2.but with the note being 200 dollars more expensive and slightly too big for my hands( one handed use was very uncomfortable)I choose this. And I couldn't have picked a better phone the camera is acceptable as long as I can get it to hold its focus, the cpu is blazing fast and the screen blows away the notes, it's seriously good better than the ego's screen in my opinion. I'm happy with this phone. And when the dev support really picks up on this phone (I have a a feeling it's coming soon) it will be a true beast. Now if only LG could give us a proper kernel source so we can run 4.2 I would be really happy
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durangatang:
Hello all. My problem is that when I attempt to access XDA using the standard XDA app over my mobile data I am unable to log in. When I open the app I get a popup that says my password is wrong and that I have used my quota for login attempts and that I cannot log in for 15 minutes. If I access the app on Wi-Fi it automatically logs in no problem. What could possibly cause this behaviour? I have used the XDA app over mobile data before without issues. Has anyone else has this issue? Seems the XDA app can be buggy at times based on the Play Store reviews.

Background information:

Phone: I9100M

Kernel: Dorimanx 7.20

Dual boot: Primary Chameleon 2.01 AOKP, Secondary: Slim Bean 3.0 (I was using Slim Bean when the issue occurred, I have not tried on Chameleon, I would like to use Slim Bean as my primary so I want to get the XDA app to work while using Slim Bean haha)

Carrier: Bell (Canada)

Things I have tried:

rebooting

clear XDA data and reboot

I have searched using Google for possible solutions and didn't find any other people with the same issue which I why I have posted this thread.

EDIT:

Weird, the app seems to work now. Not sure what changed, but thank you both for responses. Perhaps it was an issue with AdAway as it was just updated. I will have to try it a couple more times later.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] P3tras:
Hello,

I have bought a HTC HD2 with a broken digitizer from my friend, fixed it by myself and installed tytung JellyBean 1.2 rom. Everything work fine (phone, WiFi, bluetooth), except no program can find any GPS satellites. All program shows that "GPS is on", or "GPS signal detected", but no matter how long I wait it can't get any signal from satellites. At first I thought that GPS antenna coaxial cable might be disconnected, so I dissembled my phone, but didn't find any problems. Then I made some research and tried to modify GPS.config file (to add NTP server), installed "AngelDeath" Instantaneous GPS Fixation v1.2, tried some programs, but nothing helped.

My phone configuration:

HTC HD2 (512)

HSPL: 2.08.

Radio: Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14

Bootloader: MAGLDR v1.13

Recovery: Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.6

Tytung Android 4.12 NAND rom (with data on sd)

Maybe someone knows how to test if GPS chips is good (want to figure out if it is a software version or hardware)?

Many thanks!

P3tras

P.S. I do not know if GPS worked before. I didn't try it with stock windows mobile soft and the person whom I bought phone from didn't ever use GPS
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] oldgamer31:
About the gps issue...

I've been on NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a, EvoHD2v10 ICS 4.0.4-full HWA, NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.8,

PARANOIDANDROID HD2 v1.5b, and a few other roms I can't remember...

It seems the gps works great when Wifi or mobile Data is on and can access the internet,

other than that it'll just keep on scanning until it spots a gps satellite.

I have a map app, that downloads the maps of certain countries or cities, but when I turn on gps, it just stay searching for a satellite...

once I turn on wifi and also turn on location services for google (all check on boxes), it takes secons for the gps to pinpoint where I'm at...

Not very good in rural areas where there's very little reception...

it seems miui roms made from langthang or possibly any gingerbread roms works well,

since I had no problems with the gps in miui, rafdroid or coredroid...

I did made a search through google using advanced search and the forums, but only found 4 threads, all but this one only a month old...

Maybe it works for you, get fasterfix from google play, and set it at your current location, then turn on your location services

in the settings, then use your map...

I have a EU HD2 currently running NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a, which in my opinion is running great, minus the gps running offline...

Magdlr

data on ext

16gb sandisk SDcard

Update!! Looks like all I needed to do was put a check on wifi and mobile network location under

settings -> location access.

It might download gps data like windows mobile did when it needed to, but this time google doesn't tell

you that, it just does it...

I haven't tested it when I'm outside so I'll test it tomorrow. I'll post the results after.

current rom I'm using: NexusHD2-JellyBean-4.1.2-CM10 V1.3a, with same settings.

Another Update!!

Just got back from a computer hiccup, and yes, GPS does work offline, it took a while for my phone to pick up

a satellite, but only around 2 to 3 minutes on the second try, it seems that it can pick up in seconds with data

help, then it takes a little longer every minute or hour the GPS is used offline...

But that's my assumption on this process based on how it worked on windows mobile...

Also it's the same on my pad but that's another matter... All I can say is get a map software that download maps

into your phone, rather than the app constantly hogging/relying on your data connection, of course if data connection is

an issue, if not, disregard the last bit.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] AndrewLoyard:
Try this!

Judging from your post it would seem that you have no problem flashing JellyBlast v3, and that the problem actually lies in the flashing of your country's CSC.

Here's the instructions i followed (found this on the JellyBlast Thread, credits go to thirdczee:

My note: If you didn't touch the kernel in which JBv3 was built with, I believe you won't need to worry as long as you follow the instructions perfectly

PLEASE SEE BOTTOM OF OP FOR UPDATES

-----

Greetings all,

[Backstory]

I've been flashing ROMs for about a year now. I started off with Virtuous Team Gingerbread and the Sense 3.x ROMS. I had no issues.

Then I moved to CM7, and MIUI, also on Gingerbread. No problems.

I've been using the CM9/CM10 ROMs since they appeared for the Incredible 2, from AOKP and Aeroevan, respectively.

Here is where the problems start.

[Problem]

On ICS and JB ROMs, I get what I have dubbed (there is probably a better name for it) "Phantom Touch Input".

At first I thought this was caused by normal bugs and glitches in the ROM. I did my best to deal with it. Usually a simple lock/unlock would solve the issue, temporarily.

So what would happen? Without touching the screen, I would get the long press menu to show up, and then the screen and capacitive buttons would freeze. Or the screen would start to slowly half scroll to the side, and again, freeze.

The most annoying part is when I am typing on the phone. I have tried other keyboards, be it from the MIUIv4, or the default keyboards of 4.0.x, 4.1, or 4.2. All the sudden random keys are pressed, and continue to be pressed, even when my fingers are nowhere near the screen.

However, no one else seems to have this issue, so it looks like I am the lone wolf here with this problem.

Can anyone provide insight? A possible fix? Or am I forced to deal with this on all 4.x ROMs?

---

UPDATE 1: Issues also occurred on CM7.2, so I may be facing a hardware issue.

UPDATE 2: Issues occurred in 4ext Touch. Looking around on YouTube, others (Incredible S users) have similar issues.

Nearly confirmed as a hardware issue.

Check Page 2 for video links.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
Not exactly sure, I would say its hardware if it happens on all the roms. Have you went back to CM7 or MIUI since this problem started? I would revert back to one of them and test for a couple of days to see if the problem continues. If the problem is only active in ICS or JB then someone else will have to give you a hand on a resolution.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:
Ok will do when I have the chance.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

But let's say it is a hardware issue...

Do I unroot/restore/whatever and bring it back to Verizon?

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsua98:
Yes if the phone is still under warranty

I'm so fresh you can suck my nits...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:
Flashed CM 7.2

My home button didn't work, but that doesn't really matter.

I still experienced the same issues.

On a side note, wow CM7.2/Gingerbread is smooth....damn kernel. But stock 2.3.x is so ugly :(

Anyways, it seems like I should just "start clean".

I'm not sure what that entails - not just a full wipe...something more...tips?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
I use 4ext recovery myself, and I do a "full wipe" by format all partitions/factory data reset, then I see a lot of people also say wipe cache and dalvik so I throw that in as well, it don't take long but just in case a factory reset don't get them I just do it...lol. Hope that helps, and that may clear up some bugs with ICS and JB roms if you weren't doing that before. Just make sure you do a backup before wiping everything. Wouldn't want you to be without a phone if some process hiccups.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:
Thanks for the info.

Should I do anything with my SD card? It shouldn't affect ROM performance, but a wipe wouldn't be a bad idea, yes?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
I doubt that the SD card would affect the performance, but as long as you have backups of everything you can do as you please, backup backup backup. You don't want to lose everything, trust me I have seen bad things happen to guys that don't backup, and I have learned from experience as well.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:
Right right I know.

I'll try 4ext on a fresh ROM and see how things go.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:
Not a good idea to flash the touch version of 4ext in light of my issues.

Did a Nandroid, hit back, then screen input froze. The on-screen time is updating, but are the capacitive buttons are lit up but do not respond/give haptic feedback, let alone the touch screen itself. Power button just moves to the power menu, where I again cannot select anything.

Pulling battery :/

This is why I will never (want to) purchase a phone without a removable battery.

So looks like my issue isn't software related. (This issue can in no way be software related [or even caused by], right?)

I've had the phone for over a year...but I guess I'll try with Verizon.

*sigh*

What a pain.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:

I'm just really pissed off. And there isn't a phone in the market that I want.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ThePhantom97:
That looks like possibly a bad digitizer, you can replace that fairly cheaply if you are out of warranty. That would be my best guess, and keep in mind I am no expert. Here is a link so you can see the process:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQL9gakQyuI
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:
That is what I was thinking.

I'll also see if I can milk anything out of Verizon. I'm already an unhappy customer, given the lack of ICS, especially when promised.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] [::AP::]:
Yep, digitizer.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had issues. Hopefully word spreads, especially to those still under warranty who are suffering from a faulty digitizer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greenjello4:
Hi all! I tried doing my due diligence to search for this problem on Google and this forum but didn't come up with anything.

I've got a VZW Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1. I had to get a replacement from Verzion because my old GNex stopped vibrating.

Knowing that Android doesn't backup all of your app data in the cloud I did a adb backup from my computer. Then started up the replacement and did a restore. Most things came back just like before. However, third party apps can't get the current location anymore. System apps like Maps and Google Now get the location just fine. But other apps like Foursquare and Weatherbug can only get the last known location.

I've tried reinstalling apps, clearing the cache and app data but it didn't fix it.

Does anybody know how to fix the location not being able to be accessed by apps after a backup restore?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greenjello4:
I just did a reboot and it fixed it. (Hanging my head in shame for not doing this sooner).

Kind of just like 100 other articles. And, in this case, I don't see anywhere where the reviewer even owns an N4 yet. Not saying that you are wrong, but reading a critical review of a product that the reviewer doesn't own yet doesn't scream of credibility. Just my 2 cents.

Just that it is designed/targeted to be a more mainstream device rather than a "developer's phone", so to speak.

Running out of time to hack/tweak/flash but really enjoy the Android experience after 4 years with an iPhone. The more and more polished and mainstream the Nexus experience becomes, the better -- for me, of course.

Actually haptic feedback can be draining depending on your settings. I tested this on my last device.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegos:
Hello! I'm thinking about this by a while. Actually the Android MIDI software you can find on Google Play use MIDI over IP or rtpMIDI technologies to send the MIDI signal via WiFi. Knowing how a network works, specially the wireless one, I think it's a waste of _time_. I thus thought why not passing the signal over USB? That's not a problem, just create a peer program on the target machine and comunicate via sockets or similar - not. My idea is to setup the application so that the target computer can see the MIDI device with no special drivers or programs or hacks (MIDI over USB is a standard).

Is it possible then to let the Android device be seen by the computer as a MIDI device, or at least "even" as a MIDI device?

Thanks.
