This. No seriously, why are you looking for Windows features on an Android phone? You can defrag your SD and create backups, but those are not really "Windows features"... That's just things every device can do!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsb50:
OK,I think you got the idea even if those are not windows features.What I meant was features similar to windows.

How to defrag the phone & sd card ?Any app ?

Any app for system restore ?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DADER:
-What I knwo there is an app for apps & apps customizations restore which is called * Titanium Backup (needs root aka admin rights in windows ) which also needs to void your phone warranty in normal conditions

If u want a whole system restore with all what your sd card contains u need root + special boot mod called CWM recovery , from there you can make a whole sys. Backup and restore .

-About memory defrag. I don't know any app & I don't think to use any.

Hope u find this helpful...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souai:
1. uhhh, rule number 1, you do not need to defrag anything that uses solid state/flash memory. defragmentation was designed to improve read speeds and performance on mechanical hard drives where the data may be split up and stored in separate sections of the physical disk. defragmentation joins all like data and all fragments of the same file to improve read speeds and minimise wear and tear.

we use flash memory, not mechanical memory. we dont have the wear and tear issue caused by fragmentation. any attempt to defragment your drive will just waste the reads and writes and end up causing more wear and tear and decreased performance.

2. google has its own built in restore feature. although this requires you to redownload everything. if you want an imaging tool, i believe titanium backup is the way to go. there may be others, but i've never needed them.

3. and what windows features are you talking about? windows is primarily designed for x86 and x64 chips, we use an ARM chip. different architecture. you wont be able to run any 'windows like' features that havent already been integrated into the software.

Thoughts?

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/11/t-mobile-to-announce-imminent-iphone-arrival-next-week/

Well, here’s a story we didn’t see coming, especially not on the heels of the last T-Mobile’s COO comments regarding the iPhone last week. According to Merrill Lynch analyst Scott Craig, “speculation is heightening” that Deutsche Telekom will announce the imminent arrival of the iPhone for its company’s US unit during next week’s analyst day meetings. The meetings, scheduled for December 6th and 7th would be an unusual place for such an announcement given that Apple likes to be involved with high-profile launches. However, the iPhone’s launch on smaller, regional players has also been without the usual Apple fanfare so there is some precedence for the opposite to be true.

The arrival of the iPhone on T-Mobile would give Apple access to 98% of the nations post-paid wireless subscribers with an additional 33 million potential customers.

We’ve seen plenty of analyst statements pop up speculating on the iPhone’s arrival on T-Mobile, but few analyst comments have been so specific with a time and date. It’ll be interesting to see how this one plays out.

What are your personal Thoughts? More So about T-mobile NOT the Iphone.. I was curious how development felt about this..

What will this do to the Network? Speeds? Coverage? Prices?!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] circuit.007:
More power to them. This will allow them to gain more customers by appealing to a wider base and will result for them to put more pressure on their LTE network. Tmobiles still in this race. Before I feared they might die out.

T-Mobile has the best and cheapest plans in my opinion. The only thing really lacking is the quality of their network overall. Which is hopefully going to change soon
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
This is related to the s3 how?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] d3athb4dishonor:
Lol don't matter to me I hsd an iPhone waiting on my S3 to come in. That thing is a piece of crap and it's made of glass barely dropped it and it spider webbed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Hopefully they're planning on revamping their network so all the iSheep don't bog it down when they switch from other carriers to save money. I forsee Tmobile raising their prices if they get the iphone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mattedwards2686:
I agree. If T-mobile raises their prices, then I will definitely be switching to Att or Verizon. T-mobile's network is by far the worst in upstate NY, but their prices are what kept me interested. Let's hope this is only a rumor....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] critofur:
My co-worker has an iPhone 4S, told me his boss is getting iPhone 5s for his whole team and he's so bummed because he wanted an S3 instead but the boss will prol. say no since they just got the 5s...

He's jealous of my: bigger screen, Swype keyboard (Android 4.2 KB at the moment), MUCH better battery life, nice rounded back with the Fosmon TPU case is sweet (I don't even worry anymore when I drop my phone)...

Hehe, he gets mad whenever I show him something new on my S3 like the 4.2 Sphere camera or I show him how I'm still at 60% battery at the end of the day without bothering to plug it in for a little more juice every time I sit down at my desk.

So, yea, I want an iPhone 5 - but only as a second phone so that I can know iOS well when I need to support a client w/an iPhone, not as my "DD" #1 phone 'cause that's gonna stay Android (or some other flavor of Linux type OS that's not closed up by Apple).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
Who cares about an I phone... My sister just got one on att, played around with it... And I cannot see my self using an I phone lol no way in hell.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 1SiK1500:
"IF" this does happen could you imagine the amount of iphone users that will be switching from 2g/3g coverage over to the network. Let along T-mobile claims that they already have more than a million iphones now. I think it will pull our network down significantly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cobraboy85:
the second part of this, will happen inevitably. more traffic = more people using data = required network expansion = higher MRC for their customers

honestly, there WILL be a day when people are treated by carriers much like banks treat people who take out loans on houses, etc... the reason? it becomes a necessity by consumers - a required aspect of your daily routine. what are you going to do? start sending hand written letters? no. you will use the most convenient resource you have.

let's see if i can muster up an analogy here that would help get my point across regarding where mobile technology is headed:

Banks: own your house if you have a loan. have you by the balls, literally. you pay it, or you live outside. houses, are a necessity.

who are the ONLY people not being manhandled by the banks? people that already have it paid off. typically older people who are settled down.

Phone companies: own your cell phone service. have you by the balls. you pay it, or you no longer have it. cell phones, mobile technology, mobile networks - quickly becoming a way of life. you are looked at like you are a freak if you do not access internet on the go. who are the ONLY people that are not going to be manhandled by carriers in 10 years? when your desktop, laptop, etc... is now obsolete? the people who are on OLD ASS PHONE PLANS with unlimited call/text/DATAAAA.....

look at the average size of android app from 2009 to now, OS gets bigger, apps get bigger, network capacity has a need to be maximized. who will pay for that? people on t mobile's pay as you go plans? no. people who are getting SUCKED into "service agreements"....

want to be smart and prepare for doomsday? in a way that is comparable to the housing market plummeting? get on an unlimited call, text, and 4g plan now. and never buy another phone from a t mobile store ever again.

you will be one of those folks sitting in their nice pretty little classic looking cottage, all paid off, and you will be paying 79.99 a month for such service when others are paying 150...

just sayin.

oh, and rant over. but so true. watch
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crazexr7:
I like the iphone. There I said it :0

I like ios because it is very well designed and visually appealing. Most of the apps are more visually appealing than android apps.

I also like android for what I can do with it. I can make it look visually appealing, but most of the apps on the market are still hideous. I'm just waiting on android to catch up to apple and have the same sort of guidelines apple has to make apps look sort of decent.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] plat_:
Like some others in this thread said: More power to them.

For me though, I made the choice to dump them and abandon my iPhone, I just hope that T-Mobile prepares their network accordingly BEFORE the flock arrives.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Williaml232:
Probably just taking advantage of the fact that Apple is now selling unlocked iphones in usa now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shane1diamond:
LOL this is funny and very believable. im starting to look at my old G2x and thinking "well looks like its going to be me and you old friend til the end"! lol. I refuse to pay more! :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
Even if T-Mobile does get the iphone I don't forsee a large increase if any. T-Mobile is not in any position to raise prices being 4 in line. I just hope the network doesnt getting bogged down although that is a reality. T-Mobile may not have the coverage of Verizon/AT&T but they have pretty fast data if you are in theie general 3/hapsa+ network.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BaconStep:
http://forum.iphone-developers.com
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Although this is not directly related to the s3, it has nothing to do with the development of the iphone. It's more so news about Tmobile and the Tmobile network, which the s3 runs on, so in turn can be affected. :p
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhooka:
Doubt it. T-Mobile recently said they don't offer the iPhone because it would cost them money due to Apples terms.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Araltd:
I consider myself a pretty run of the mill user. I don't tether data, have no need to. I've been with T-Mobile for a long time. And using iPhones.

AT&T with its new shared data plan is very comparable price wise, especially with multiple family lines.

Our 4 line T-Mobile plan can now be had on AT&T for about the same money.

My point? It might be to little to late for T-Mobile to be bringing the iPhone.....now.

Today I (finally) got the message to update my S3 to Jelly Bean, I was really excited about it. I downloaded the whole thing and it said about an error and lead me to try it with Kies, downloaded Kies and an error showed up again.

I guess this is because my phone is rooted so, what do I have to do to make the Jelly Bean update happen?

I've been researching a lot and couldn't find an answer. I'm much of a noob so I would really like some help!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KRAZYKORBIN:
I was wondering if anyone knew how to add sound to boot I have looked and tried everywhere but can't find anything oh and can you change the splash screen
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troy7548:
There is a few steps you will have to do first.

1. Root the device. I believe you have to be root to change the boot animation.

2. Install custom recovery.

3. find a boot animation you want to use by making one yourself or looking in the theme threads.

look in the development section to earn the process of getting root and custom recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KRAZYKORBIN:
Yes I'm root and I'm running cm9
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acefsw:
I would do a search for system boot sound ogg or similar. Not sure, but it's probably something to do with changes to system/media and a sound ogg file. Animations are changed by changeing*/system/media/bootanimation.zip
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KRAZYKORBIN:
Ummm this from had no boot sound to begin with sooo
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acefsw:
Then you'll need to create a poweron.ogg Samsung stock rom supports boot sound, not sure of others. The file on my device is located at system/media/audio/ui/PowerOn.ogg Not sure, but some devices/roms set it in system/etc Since this device/manufacturer is new to me so, I can't give comprehensive advice other than search xda.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fudgeboy:
This is a general CM9 question, I think, rather than a Tab 2 question. CM9 by default doesn't have a boot sound. I don't know if one can be added, but I'd try looking generally for how to add a boot sound in CyanogenMod ROMs rather than specifically for the Tab 2.

(Oh, and if you manage it, you'll be pleased with the boot sound for a week or so and then get annoyed with it and remove it again...)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeanGibson:
There is a way ...

If you are running stock 4.1.1, you can disable (or enable) both the power-off and power-on sounds in the dialog box that pops up when you power-off the device. Just select the sound before you press Power-off or Restart.

Edit: Oops, the result applies to all sounds until you change it (eg, after the next boot). So, I've renamed the PowerOn/Off.ogg files.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackCatAlex:
boot sound

solved it by removing file /etc/PowerOn.ogg

Anything can be done?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
This thread belongs in the Q&A Forum and I've reported it to the mods so it will be moved there.

Regarding your issue, if the flash of a bootloader was interrupted for some reason you may have bricked the phone and you can try to recover it by following the unbricking thread in the stickies of the CDMA development forum.

Another recommendation I've seen in the past for a phone that will not even start the bootloader is to charge it overnight (for at least 8 hours) with the A/C charger then try to start the bootloader again.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RupendraDhillon:
Hello All,

I have been unsuccessful at being able to connect the Google Nexus 10 tablet to my laptop running Windows 8 Enterprise. When I connect the device to the laptop I don't get the MTP popup (asking me what would I like to do) however it correctly recognizes it as Nexus 10, lists it under the Devices section in the Control Panel and also lists it under the "Android Device" category in the device manager as "Android ADB Interface". However there is nothing under the Portable Devices category which is one of the basic requirements for MTP to work correctly on the Windows 8 platform as listed on MSDN on "Windows 8 MTP - Core Compliance Tests". I have the MTP option checked and USB debugging disabled in the settings panel.

Very Similar Problem - Please Help!

I was wondering if anyone can help me. I have the same problem, all it says is 'HTC Quietly Brilliant' and it is stuck in a reboot cycle.

I was watching a YouTube tutorial on how to flash CM10 onto my One X (I do have ClockworkMod and all of that stuff installed already). Everything was going well, but the video only briefly (for maybe a second) mentioned the fact that you have to put the CM10 zip folder onto the phone storage before you flash the boot.img. I went on and followed the steps and tried to flash the boot.img, but as I said earlier, all the phone will do is reboot over and over again. I have charged it to full battery so this should not be a problem when I go to fix it.

I would be really grateful for any help on the subject as I contacted the person who made the tutorial, and he has not responded. Thanks in advance.
