I've been looking at the 4.3 phone apk and there are some differences in the png files and they're in different locations Also, who knows what is different in the xml files? My take is that it wont work. ( I want my orange phone back!)

It is a different apk in some ways - will the 4.1.2 one work if it's flashed? Stuff usually doesn't work if it's for a different version? Try it and see?

It would be great if he could do some for 4.3! I'm going through png by png and changing the colors. There must be a better way, but I ain't smart enough to know what it is, unless he's using some theme engine.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p@v:
I tried to look for this problem, but couldn't find anything relevant...

finally got my unlocked nexus 4 in the mail today!

was super excited, cut my existing t-mobile sim card (I'm on a contract with them) and was able to connect to their network (can make calls and receive texts). When I try to connect to 4G, it takes ages to load a page. it takes the same page about 10 times as fast to load on 2G when i force 2G. Sometimes the page would time out and not load at all..

has anyone else experienced this problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Get a real microsim card, those cut sims don't work very well. They're free. I got one from tmobile and I have no problems with my 4g connection, blazing fast.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p@v:
the sim worked fine on my t-mobile G2, but i guess i'll try to order a real micro anyways.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Makes no difference. I cut my own sim. What makes a difference is OP had a G2 and the sim cards have since been updated and he needs a newer sim card.

See above, OP :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p@v:
I tried to find a way to order a microsim online, and failed. So, I went to the t-mob online chat support, waited about 15 min, and the guy told me that i had to call in or go to a store and that a replacement would not be free of charge.

So, I called in, waited about 15 seconds, and the guy sent a microsim my way for free..

I believe magic is at work here..

will let you know if the new sim solves the problem
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvioalcan:
Yes! please let us know, im having the same issue!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
when i bought my nexus 4 from a tmobile store, the sim card that came with the phone which was also activated at purchase only let me have speeds of ~39kbps download and ~9kbps upload. this lasted me for about 2 hours and i returned to the store and complained. they swapped it out with a new sim card and i've been getting about 8mbps download and 1.2mbps upload here in Salt Lake City.

not real sure what my point is, but, sim replacement is fairly easy and would be my suggestion after my experience.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p@v:
well.. I got my new sim card last night and realized that the speeds have nothing to do with my sim card, but probably with the local tower. before i got the new sim card, I sometimes got decent speeds (~4mbps) and sometimes it wouldnt connect. When I got the new sim card, the speedtest gave me 4 kbps.. about 10 miles away from here I got 5 mbps.

So the old sim card behaved exactly as the new one =/

I never had this problem with the G2, though. And I would get speeds up to 20 mbps on the same network..

So this is still very upsetting and confusing
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Might be a localized problem with the tower, call t-mobile, and they'll have technicians come out and look at it. Or, try another android phone and see if you have the same problem, that'll tell you whether or not it's the phone, if it's the phone, get a warranty replacement, might be a problem with the radio hardware.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
It isn't even possible for the G2 to reach speeds that high..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowrider262:
same happened to me, its because they've been refarming their 3g network towers. just call T-Mobile customer service and tell them your 3g/4g data isn't working anymore and tell them the address where its not working and they'll fix it. it took a couple days
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugotproblemz:
hmm, data service is fine here. getting around 12-14 down and 1 up...

if its not the sim and your APN seems fine, try contacting Tmo and see if its on thier end. If not maybe its simply a defected device =/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] no6969el:
I cut my SGSII simcard and it works perfectly, it is because of the G2 using an older version simcard.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbell13:
Cut my SIM card they gave me earlier this year when I switched from AT&T with my Galaxy Nexus. Also works fine. Also, you shouldn't have to mess with the APN settings. At all. Should do it automatically.

Well I have a r800x unlocked BL nd was wondering what exactly is the best rom/kernel combination for my play

I'm not big on the gaming functionality but do want camera and wifi Bluetooth stuff like that and I was also wanting a JB rom bad but ICS will do if the JB is too unstable

So yea XDA tell me what your choices are
[Xperia Play General] Lordomn:
To be honest my first choice would be to tell you to check out miui-australia(its got its own kernel & its ics)... But only because its got loads of space...very stable, but aokp is good also (With wedgess lupus cm9 based kernel)...thats just me tho... As for jb I personally haven't tested any... But here good things about cj's slimbean port...

Sent from my R800x
[Xperia Play General] Leraeniesh:
Check out Slimbean with Turbo kernel.

If you want something a little more stable, try regular CM9 or MIUI Australia.

Android System sitting at 70%

HI All,

Sorry to chat on a old therad however this seems to be the most helpful

I have just rooted my Samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9300 and put a custom rootbox 4.2.2 rom on it

I have noticed today battery is sitting around 70% for the android system

I have made sure nothing is syncing to often, the battery will only last me half a day

Anyone got any ideas?

I have downloaded the app as sugested above and waiting some time untill i post my report so the log can fill

Many thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Well, BetterBatteryStats is probably your best bet to figure out what's draining your battery.

You also have an international GSIII (i9300) however this section is for the US GSIII (SCH-I535) which has different hardware so you should probably head over to the i9300 section for proper support beyond what anyone can say regarding BetterBatteryStats.

Hello there. I bought a S5368 (Chinese) device, and want to root it, but it doesnt have recovery (probably they disabled it), and cant root with SuperOneClick or Gingerbreak. It is running 2.3.6. So I tried to open an update file, and it seems it is in FAT16. Is this true? I opened it with UltraISO and attached the su and busybox to the system/bin, make a tar from that file, and flash it using ODIN, but stucks at aprox. 10% of the flash. Any ideas I can use to flash that package or root it? Thanks!

EDIT 1: I managed to get it working - soft of. Mounted using linux and works, BUT, I cant get superuser to work. Any app that needs root, it gets automatically denied. If I enter using the shell, it says: granted, but it exits right away

aby ideas?

I setup Facebook to sync contacts (of only existing contacts) and it pulled photos in more many of my contacts. However in GoSMS or stock messaging, it doesn't get any of the photos. I've seen a wide variety of proposed fixes. Looking for the 'cleanest' fix. I went into Settings > Accounts & Sync and saw I could add an additional Facebook account type called 'Facebook Sync' (which I think is so you can sync your Samsung Calendar and Photos without intalling the Facebook app) so now I have my Facebook account listed twice. I don't really want my Facebook Gallery photos synced and don't really use my Facebook calendar. So I'm guessing that second account type is unnecessary.

Here are the solutions I've come across. Would be good to leave a definitive solution thread here on Phandroid for others. I've yet to try any of these.

a) Use Friendcaster

b) Use Haxsync

c)

1. Delete Facebook from Accounts and Sync

2. Install Facebook Contact Sync

3. Sync Facebook Contact Sync

4. Wait until it completes (can take a long time)

5. Open Facebook, it will prompt you for what you want to sync. Select don't sync

d) Switch Contacts to display from the SIM card, and remove the SIM card entries one by one. The images in other sources should appear in both GoSMS Pro and the stock Messaging application. (detailed instructions anyone?)

[HTC Droid DNA] funkadunk:
since this has such a crazy ppi, i was just wondering, does anyone actually notice a difference in quality between this and a 720p phone? is there an actual tangible difference or is it just marketing for a bigger and better screen?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
It pretty much depends on your vision.

If you have 20/20 or better than you can tell the difference at times, but if your vision ain't so great then you will probably never notice the difference.
[HTC Droid DNA] x70xchallengerx:
I suppose it depends on your vision... I'm 20 and I use a computer most of the day tbh, it's my hobby and my job right now, yet I can see the difference between 333ppi (or 326, w/e) on the Rezound, and 440ppi of the DNA. On the rezound, it looked amazing, truly great, but if you looked really close (no magnifying glass or anything) you COULD make out pixels... on the DNA, nope.

I can't see a damned pixel... It's like the whole phone is composed of vectors xD besides images of course. It's truly remarkable... but as far as humans go, they've hit the barrier, any more ppi than 440 would be un necessary to be honest. Unless people start getting genetically enhanced vision, there's no need for higher. but that's another story haha.
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
I'm hoping someone here might be able to help with this. As some of you know, I've been hacking away at the camera problem. I suspect that at least part of the issue is that somewhere along the line our phone is reporting a 50Hz field rate rather than 60Hz (as it should). The result is that with the back camera only, the camera is limited to 25fps. I've been searching everywhere for where this might happen and today I think I found something. The problem is I can't really understand the code well enough to know what to do, where to look, etc. So, I'm posting this here in the hope that someone might know and be able to help! The offending file is in the kernel ~drivers/media/video/gspca/sonixb.c The pertinent lines begin on 951:

static void setfreq(struct gspca_dev *gspca_dev)
{
struct sd *sd = (struct sd *) gspca_dev;

switch (sd->sensor) {
case SENSOR_OV6650:
case SENSOR_OV7630: {
/* Framerate adjust register for artificial light 50 hz flicker
compensation, for the ov6650 this is identical to ov6630
0x2b register, see ov6630 datasheet.
0x4f / 0x8a -> (30 fps -> 25 fps), 0x00 -> no adjustment */
__u8 i2c[] = {0xa0, 0x00, 0x2b, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x10};
switch (sd->freq) {
default:
/*	case 0:	* no filter*/
/*	case 2:	* 60 hz */
i2c[3] = 0;
break;
case 1:	/* 50 hz */
i2c[3] = (sd->sensor == SENSOR_OV6650)
? 0x4f : 0x8a;
break;
}
i2c[1] = sensor_data[sd->sensor].sensor_addr;
if (i2c_w(gspca_dev, i2c) < 0)
PDEBUG(D_ERR, "i2c error setfreq");
break;
}

What we want is case 2, but it seems like we're getting case 1. I don't know what I might do to correct it either!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Skwerl23:
I'm wondering if you set it to 20fps if it records fine ? Not true HD or anything but not jumpy?

I'm thinking i2c3=0 is making it stay at 25fps can you modify that to change it to 20?

This code sounds like it is trying to compensate for indoor lighting... Not the frequency of the screen? Weird.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
I'm honestly not sure how you would. You can reduce a number of artifacts by reducing the framerate, but it doesn't completely solve the problem. I suspect that the 25fps issue is not entirely the cause of 720p recording problems. Another issue is the codecs. I noticed logcats that the camera is avoiding on board codecs. It seems like it should be calling up the OMX.sec codec, but instead it's defaulting to the software codecs. More than likely has everything to do with the limited source Samsung has released. And probably the biggest issue is that there is something wrong with the structure of the camera hal. Right now I'm trying to work out whether v4l2_reqbufs and v4l2_dqbufs are being deployed properly. I came across an OMAP datasheet that explains that if vidioc_dqbuf is called with the file descriptor and vidioc_reqbuf is not performed, the driver will return an error. Since all logcats point to vidioc_dqbuf not dqing the buf, I'm guessing that this is the source of the choppiness. Problem is, I don't know where to look for a working example!

I usually do not start threads and hang in the shadows here on xda, but I love the site and all the awesome development.

With that said:

Please do not close this thread - This is not a question, or a discussion about a computer. The new Samsung Chromebook with the ARM chip is basically an Android tablet built like a laptop running chrome. It has a Samsung Exynos 5 Dual processor, so this falls under Android development and HACKING for devices that do not have a forum on XDA.

So I have this device and I have to say, it's very well built for the price. The only negative is that it runs Chrome. Now - I'm not here to bash on Chrome OS and I don't need a discussion on the pros and cons of it...

The point of starting this thread is to get Android ported over to this thing. I actually went out and purchased it at Best Buy because I knew that I could go to xda-developers a week later and someone will post instructions on how to install Android. Didn't happen. Not sure why.

So please chime in on ideas on how to get the ball rolling. Who do we have to buy a Chromebook for to make this happen? Do we start a bounty?

Let's keep the xda-developer community going strong! Thank you.
