[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schroderiffic:
Good evening,

Long time lurker, first time poster. The wealth of valuable information here has been incredibly useful to us over the past year with our Galaxy Nexus phones.

Unfortunately, my phone up and died last week. No explanation as to why, I picked it up and it was off. I turned it back on and got the start screen with the little Android guy, and when I pressed the power button again where the arrow pointed to start, the screen turned a dark grey and everything just died. After that, nothing. Luckily, it was still under warranty and I now have the replacement.

The tragedy, and the lesson learned the hard way, is to regularly back up your pictures. I was stupid, there's no excuse for it, especially when the phone makes it so so so easy to have backups of everything automated for you. Never again.

But, in the meantime, I lost all the pictures from the past month when I turned off auto upload. I knew they were gone, and I had resigned myself to it, but then, when I turned the replacement back on, it ever so kindly asked if I would like to restore from my Google account, which I did. And there, on my wallpaper, was one last picture saved in my settings. It's my son, in the exact same pose in the exact same place at a playground we have a picture of him at 2 years old. I really, really, really, want to save this picture.

I have read around, and I see I could access this by rooting the phone and getting to com.android.settings, but I would prefer not to. I've never done anything like that.

My question here is there any other way, any way at all, to somehow access this picture, or get a copy of it? Anyway to e-mail the wallpaper? Access it online somehow from the Google backup that exists somewhere online? Maybe use the NFC to somehow send it to my husband's phone?

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Maybe at the end of the day, since the warranty is up next month anyways, it's the nudge I need to go ahead and root my phone to unlock all Android really has to offer. But I still want a copy of the picture somehow first.

Thank you!

[Acer Iconia A500] Shortbusdriver:
I have recently experienced an issue that never happened before while playing demanding games. Basically, my a500 will seemingly randomly freeze on an individual frame of the game an the screen will start to flicker on and off. Audio and touch input from the screen still work as I can hear the sound effects made from touching the areas of the screen (gun firing etc.), however the screen refuses to do anything but flicker on the same frame until I force close the app from the task manager (it isn't even detected as unresponsive). This has taken place on NOVA 2 and MC3 as well playstation and n64 emulators. I just upgraded to Civato's flex jb so I'm not sure if its a compatibility issue with a500, but I seem to remember all of these apps working when I first upgraded so I'm not sure what gives now. Any help would be appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] Lord_Axel:
I have exactly the same problem with my a500

I have exactly the same problem with my Acer a500. It's incredible to see that it has passed more than a year and there still isn't a solution for this problem. Many a500 users say that it may be a memory problem. Since then, when I need to run some graphic demanding games or apps, I first stop some applications that are running.

My Gt3 does it on mupen too but only if I load state from slower game speed like 50 %

Is there a way to get the vanilla keyboard? (on stock ICS)

I'm interested on trying it.

Would it bring vanilla text selection / copy / paste tools at the top of the screen? Would I be able to keep the HTC magnifying glass?

It'd also have to work with Brazilian Portuguese and English chars and prediction, and swiping...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] twinlakesnake:
I understand that apps reserve a certain amount of ram so they can open faster. Everywhere I look it says this is a good thing. If my phone starts to lag, I check active apps. Usually slim to none. Then I clear ram, and 30 Apps close. All of a sudden, phone lightning fast. Then apps reload and phone boggs down again. Since there are no active apps I. Assuming a task killer won't help. I know the more apps I DL the worse my problem will be but I figure the point of having a smartphone is to have toys to play with on it. How can I get my phone to always run just as fast as it does right after I clear the ram? Running blackstar X if it matters.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] boufa:
RAM does not take speed, CPU time does. If the apps are sitting in ram, and they are not running then those apps are not taking up any speed. (at least none that you should be able to perceive)

Check other things, remember everything resets when you reboot, so maybe a widget, or the os is running sloppy and causing your slow downs, live wallpaper takes processor cycles also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] twinlakesnake:
Only widget is clockr. No live wallpapers. The time I most notice is bringing up webpages. Go to task manager, ram tab, clear memory and bam no more waiting on a webpage to load. I know I'm not just making it up but everything I research tells me I am.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasjottoor:
Hi Everybody

I recently bought TF300T and now trying to connect my PS3 Dualshock 3 controller to it, but facing problems.

I have jellybean 4.1 as OS and trying to conect using dock USB Port.

In Settings -> Bluetooth -> My PS3 controller is shown, but when i click on it to connect, error message comes " Unable to Communicate with Blah Blah..)

It doesnot work in game, while in normal tablet mode, i can move thru items/pages with my controller.

I have read so many forums over internet which shows the simple steps to connect, i tried to use them a number of times but no success.

Also, I tried with different games like FIFA2012, Shadow Gun, Mass Effect

Please helpout, am I doing something wrong or its just jellybean not allowing to.

Thanks

Jas

The are a paid app four use it in games.

Never heard about use ps3 controller "plug&play"

The app, change mac adress of bluethoot master of the controler & installs in the phone/tablet a protocolo to comunicate with it...

And one thing, a very few games support external pad....

Good luck

request to modders and developers of Custom Roms, it maybe better for us to get patches instead of installing the entire rom all over again..

a week ago i sent a msg to kobzar999 regarding his new Upcoming ROM requesting many options in his AROMA... recently sandy7 released his optimax with a huge AROMA installer.. it was great ROM, it was all their.. the problem for us user/testers is that it is very confusing and you have to try out the contents of the AROMA that would fit on what you wanted to achieved look of the ROM... my request is it would be..

stock rom then a list of patches for their creations... no offense or being disrespectful to modders and developers... this maybe negative or positive feedback to modders and developers... im just saying my point of view on this concerned.. thank you:confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
AROMA makes things easier for developers...

And after all the difficulties they go through while developing a custom ROM, they have right to use something like AROMA...

And all you have to do is Download a ROM slightly bigger in size, available for FREE... :thumbup:

Devs can't just spoonfeed us everything according to our worthless needs... :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] MoonBlade:
There will be many others opposing your motion to release patches. AROMA installer is by far the best thing in custom ROMs because that is essential in making the ROM customizable. This is introduced because each person would like different feel to the same ROM. If u are using patch u only get one feel :( then other users will keep asking the developers to include this mod and that app and it will just burden the developer even more. Any way we are using these ROMs for free. so y not the developers decide how they make their ROMs :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] potna:
stock rooted rom

using stock everything except i added wifi tether and adblock

android version: 4.0.4

i have not taken any ota's

about 2 weeks ago i was trying to take a picture at mostly dark place, as soon as the led flashed the phone appeared to shut off, but it wouldn't turn back on.i eventually pulled the battery and was able to get phone to boot like normal. again i tried to take another pic and got the same results about 4 or 5 times. i noticed the problem seemed to be tied to using the led flash while taking a pic.

later on in the night i tried again about another 5 times to take a pic with flash and it rebooted each attempt

if i turn flash off camera worked fine.

my battery was around 17% at this time that the above happened, could have been using a generic battery

so the next day i thought i would take it to best buy for a return but i thought about how it may be easier to do a factory reset while on the road. immediately after resetting it i tried the camera with flash and it worked fine, so i went back home

after getting back home i tried to take another pic with flash and it rebooted again. wtf?

i noticed again that my battery is around 18%, i have 4 batteries and i was on the road the week end i was having trouble with flash.

below is was one of my theories: maybe a generic battery was reporting 15-20% but maybe it didn't actually have enough power to use flash and it caused some sort of power issue with the phone.

i dont think its shutting it off completely btw,

i assumed it was the battery reporting correct info and causing a under power issue so i thought the case was almost solved.

11.26.12 130am i have new info that contradicts the above theory: tonight i was attempting to take another pic with flash and

sure enough it shut off. i pulled battery and powered it back on and the battery just happen to be in that 17% range again.

i swapped the battery out with a fresh battery that reported to be 94% and i attempted to take another picture with flash and once again phone turned off.

so i rebooted and went into the camera app and hit the reset option for the camera and the symptom stopped

i changed the default storage back to external sd which is where i normally have it set and took another pic and camera with flash still worked

the pattern for the battery being in the teens when this happens could be an issue, but i want it clear that my batteries last a full day and then some every day.

i have googled this and i have come up with very little related leads, has anyone heard of this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] potna:
ok well i think i found the issue:

it was the battery.

i have four batteries and i marked the one that was suspected as being the problem

i put each battery in and all functioned as they should except the one i thought was a problem

the funny thing is that i just put it on the charger about 20 mins ago and it charged about 1% per minute wich seems suspect in itself.

out with the junk battery, thanks again ebay
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iibishop:
Sorry for creating a thread about this, but im just really confused(as always) lol.

Anyways, when connected to LTE, does it actually show 4G LTE or just 4G icon? I live here in Chicago, and in my place there's no luck in 4G.

But while going to work, O'hare Airport, it shows 4G. Is that a 4G(Wimax) or the LTE?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] sn0w:
I have WiMax here in Columbus but the phone doesn't connect so I would assume it's LTE.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Jahspree:
Are you serious??? Come on man, its LTE dude. A simple Google would of told you that.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kchitown1977:
4G wimax won't work on 4LTE and vise versa
[Sprint LG Optimus G] pjsnyc:
Any chance you could do some speed-tests next time you're on 4G? I'm patiently waiting for Sprint to light up NYC
[Sprint LG Optimus G] iibishop:
Dude, what's with the attitude?

Ive read somewhere that they have lte in some places, here in Chicago, so ive been there this morning, its shows 4G. Run a speedtest and i got 10Mb Down. Im asking because im curious. I hope we meet someday dude.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] thunder1979:
Here you go

It's not NY, but Plano, TX. I ran into a good amount of LTE shortly after purchasing my LG Optimus G
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Jahspree:
This is Atlanta ga.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Jahspree:
Well now you know where I'm at.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] drancid:
+1 to this.

Wimax and LTE both called 4G but different technology..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Mrichelo:
Holy crap - where in Atlanta did you get those speeds? I'm in Atlanta as well, and I'm slightly puzzled by the 4G indicator. Everytime I've seen it on the phone, there's been 0 bars. I know the bars aren't exactly indicative of signal strength, and I've gotten some pretty fast speeds with "0 bars" but I was wondering if anyone else here has figured out why this is? Are the bars completely unrelated to 4G signal strength? And if so, why the hell don't we have an indicator of 4G signal strength?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Jahspree:
Believe it or not I get 24 or more in Decatur. But your right I don't have signal bars when on 4G, just probably a software glitch. You can check how strong your signal is settings, network then look at signal strength. Generally the high 80s indicates the best signal

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaxReality:
The issue is photos that are taken sometimes end up being 1280 x 720 in resolution using default setting.

Not always, as the default setting is single shot with maximum widescreen resolution. You can imagine how infuriating it is when you have been to a special event only to have crappy low res pics, and when you check the setting it is correct.

Anyone know whats going on? Also, do certain settings reduce the resolution like anti-shake, face detect etc. The user manual is absolutely useless.

Thanks

Just checked several of my photos. All of them are at 3264x2448. Are you sure you set it to the right resolution in the settings? I have image quality set to superfine as well, I dont know if that makes any difference.

Having upgraded to my N4 I am looking for a nice lightweight SMS app.

I used to use SMSPOPUP on my Desire but I found that it would not flash the notification light on the N4, also reading latest reviews it would appear to have a few other issues with newer Androids.

Whilst on the subject of the notification light I presume it does not light up when on charge like my old desire and it is supposed to flash white for an SMS?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] roxboxxx:
Price it for $395 with many CLEAR pics. Mine sold in 15 minutes with the guy coming to me. Also, if you need an interim phone, buy a thunderbolt and a sim adapter. I paid $50 for my thunderbolt on CL. Many are going for $80 - $120. You can just resell it when done and lose your $3.00 sim adapter investment ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheDroidLurker:
If you sell on ebay be sure to make it known that you are verifying the condition of the device with photos and video before shipment. That will discourage the scammers from trying to swap with a busted device and then sticking you for the money. Or even better when they break it within the first day and try to claim you sent a a damaged item.

Otherwise you can get burned because ebay will usually side with the buyer on any dispute. I learned the hard way with a previous smart phone sale. Took a month to get my money back along with a busted phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
Just know that on eBay you have a lot more in fees, even if it sells for $50 more on eBay most of that will end up being paid to eBay/PayPal anyways.

Skipped over the SIII since it's a turd with US version having only 2-core crappy Qualcomm Snapdragon and international version with better 4-core Exynos 4412 but less DRAM (1GB vs 2GB). Note II is redemption for SIII with the advantages of pocketable tablet with Wacom pen.

Sold my Nexus 7 and returned Nexus 10 but keeping Note 10.1 and will be adding Note II. Would've been perfect with 32GB flash and without the graffiti on the home button.
