[LG Revolution] Tomn8tr:
Since I need to preserve my unlimited data from Verizon, and cannot accept a subsidized phone, I decided to at least add wireless charging to the Revolution. I know this is nothing new, but I thought I would share what I have learned so far. I have two Revolutions (one for me, one for wife), so I bought two battery doors that are required for wireless QI charging. I got them on Amazon for $14.99 each:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009R0ODHA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

Also needed is a QI charging pad. I bought two of the ones that LG made for this and a couple of other phones (costly at $40 each, but they will work with future QI enabled devices as well):

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DMBSVA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

I like to have chargers available around the house and rear porch, so I am also going to experiment with these chargers as well, and will report back how they work; they are only $20 each and are dual chargers:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003F0RQ0O/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

The charging through the LG charging pad works great. There were complaints in the reviews at Amazon about beeping from the LG charger, but after 3 nights with two of them running, I haven't heard any noises that have woken either of us. We just set the phones on the charger, the base indicates charging has begun and the screen displays that wireless charging has initiated with a big battery status bar.

This QI charging is a feature I will look at closely when the time comes to select new phones. As it stands, I have 4G, HDMI, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, big screen and don't use the phone often for heavy gaming. To prevent the need for Verizon's subsidy on a new device (equaling loss of unlimited data), I will just wear these out for another year or so (maybe even longer). I have an ASUS tablet for the heavy stuff anyhow.
[LG Revolution] kyledyr:
Is the wireless back much different than the regular back cover depthwise?
[LG Revolution] Tomn8tr:
It adds depth, the phone becomes thicker. It is supposed to be 1.5mm deeper, but I think a little more.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goabunny:
I just bought new galaxy s3 and would like to tether. I am wondering just rooting would be enough.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] runtohell121:
Yes. You don't even need to root to tether if you use FoxFi. but with root, you can flash the tethering .zip and have stock tether via through settings.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] goabunny:
Using the foxfi att would not restrict right?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] clickityclack:
coheree whore

FoxFi hasn't worked to tether for a couple of months now or as of the last OTA update. I was tethering fine with it up until then with no problems whatsoever, but after the update it stopped working. Seems rooting is the only way currently to get tethering w/o a tether plan.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ends:
Use "Wi-Fi tether for root users" works great on every phone I've had.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moses82:
Does FoxFi allow for a hot spot as well or just tethering?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] planeluvr:
I use FoxFi as a hotspot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AtoZ0to9:
What is your software version... There's most like a flash to enable the stock tethering...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazee:
Is everyone here using an SGH-I747 on JB 4.1.1 ROM? I'm guess not. One person says Foxfi works, the other says it hasn't for months. JB 4.1.1 just came out days ago. Lots of people losing tethering. I installed CW Recovery and Team Epic Root. Just Titanitum Backup to uninstall the tethering provision which seems to be what checks your AT&T plan. I can't get any app to work including Wifi Tethering for Root using auto or S3 profile. SSID doesn't show up. The non-root apps, the tethering blue icon shows up int he status bar, I can see them on the network and connect but get only "Limited" connection in Windows with no Internet. Then I tried stock tether in Settings > Advanced > Tether. Whenever I change the toggles the Settings app itself crashes!

I'm sort of steaming now about the guy who recommended I use TB to freeze the tethering provisioning but I saw You Tube video showing doing just that (actually an uninstall). Then using Wifi Tether for Root. My best guess is WiFi Tether For Root broke after JB 4.1.1 update along with a lot of other tethering related apps and most posts are either before the JB 4.1.1 update, or they are users have who haven't updated and tried it? Haven't tried Foxfi yet. That may be next.

---------- Post added at 11:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 AM ----------

Soultion is a newer hacked version of Wifi Tether for Rooted user that is not on the Play Store and the apk has to be downloaded directly. Current version is here:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390195663897100406

YouTube Video on it here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztsZH6Xj7A0

What a pain in the ass it took to finally find this. The problem is all the posts and methods out there essentially became defunct when the JB 4.1.1 update came out a few days ago yet you still have users unknowingly recommending the same methods because they were still on ICS. Guess that's the price you pay when you are brand new to Android and an OS update comes out two weeks after you got your phone and you install it the day it comes out. Sigh.

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

Ugh. Got too excited too quick. You can't toggle Wifi back on after shutting down tethering without restarting﻿ phone! Guess it's going to be a few more days until some good developers come out with a simple one-app solution without issues. It was WAY easier to get free tethering on the jailbroken iPhone that this. I'm shocked this is so hard right now on Android JB 4.1.1. But I have to remember the OS update just came out.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
as we all know xperia u has a problm that sometimes battery % does not increases during charging

just wanted to ask is this problm in sony roms or actually ics itself ??

plz reply of u r sure of the fact
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Me‎:
I actually never came across that bug 0=
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
I have had that problem, it's very annoying, also get a bug where the led turns green when fully charged and doesn't turn off even after charging . Not sure what the cause is, but had similar problems with charging on my previous phone (htc wildfire) could perhaps be an android thing, annoying nevertheless
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] doctor_droid:
so to conclude its an ics bug nd nt sony's?? right?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rajul:
I didn't came across such problem in stock ics

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biustech:
hey guys i have a SG3 installed two days ago the OMEGA rom v32.1 and now i don't have facebook notification anymore. other services that have push notification are working like instagram and whatsapp, but Facebook isn't.

tried uninstall/reinstall, clear data/cache but not worked.

On the app the notification is set to never (as was told to notify as soon as you get something)

And before the installation of the omega rom was working.

suggestions?

thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BerkChefkatli:
i got nearly same problem as you. Instead of just facebook, i can't get any notifications after XXELK4 leak. I think it is because of it. I tried every possible thing but the problem goes on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biustech:
probably... i tried the blackberry method, but no success either. and i cant post on OMEGA thread because i dont have enough posts...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biustech:
i got my notifications back, i'm not sure what process worked, if was the blackberry or if clear data/cache or even installed the friendcaster, anyway after many attempts it's working again...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nekrosoft13:
Is ibolt still the best car dock? is there seriously nothing better out there?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
Made with the S3 in mind, yes (although it says it works with other models, like the S2). I haven't seen anything else out there apart from the Infuse dock which has gone scarce.

I've already got one, and a second on the way for my other car. With the current AT&T ICS software, USB sound works, but phone call sound doesn't route out the USB, so you must use the built-in speaker or a bluetooth unit.

I also have a T-Mobile S3 on official JB release. Works the same as the AT&T software, but I haven't actually tried phone calls to see if Samsung/T-Mobile fixed that issue.

I've been told CM10 supports both USB and phone audio, but I've never seen anyone confirm the phone audio part.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] arcticbill:
I found this... http://www.wirelessground.com/ibolt-samsung-galaxy-s3-s-iii-intelligent-vehicle-charging-dock.html for $36.95+Shipping (Cyber Monday Special) any better price than that out there?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
It's [ibolt] the best option for a dock that has built-in USB cable capability. Unless you use a naked phone, then I would prefer the Infuse dock (does not work with ANY cases).

If you don't need USB cable built into the dock, then there are several options that look better IMO.

I'm really disappointed there aren't better dock options from Samsung themselves. No Infuse type dock for the S3 with case option. Very disappointed considering how many bazillions of S3's they have sold.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stargtsi:
I just got the Imagnet holder today gonna test it out
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socalwrx:
+1 for imagnet. have gone through many docks and couldnt be happier with it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NonCorp:
Heres a couple of mounts I found while searching for some different mounting options for my car. They have built-in micro USB plug, but they are a little pricey.

Note, if the link doesn't work, click on device mounts, then choose Samsung and galaxy (obviously) from the drop-downs...

http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...ord-for-fixed-installation--513398-18988.aspx

The first one is actually pictured in-use with a case, the second and third I'm not sure if they'd work with a case...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ARchamps:
I use the infuse dock. Works great! Cant use with a case though. Its a snug fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NonCorp:
I bought the Infuse as well, unfortunately, there's not really a good place to mount it in my car. If I use the windshield I cant reach the phone, and most of the dash space within reach is used up by vents/controls/compartments, etc. Kinda disappointed, I was looking forward to using the Infuse.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ARchamps:
I had the same issue. The base is huge and the ball joint is not flexible enough. I ended up taking the base off and drilling a hole into my okd nexus dock. I'll post a pic later.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] socalwrx:
Ive tried the infuse and universal docks, but finally tried the imagnet and love it. I mounted the magnet flush to my center console just under my stereo. Perfect reach, small, phone sticks like glue (while still being able to rotate it). Been waiting for a good solution for a couple years now.

We are currently at version 1.0.4 which fixes some very small bugs!
[Android Apps and Games] saimonn:
Great, thanks. Will game support multiplayer over wifi/bluetooth ?
[Android Apps and Games] Hektorapps:
We probably won't implement multiplayer over wifi/bluetooth. But there might be a singleplayer-mode coming, and some extra features such as powerups ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Hektorapps:
I'm glad you like it :)
[Android Apps and Games] Hektorapps:
There is a big update coming up next week!

We will add power-ups to the game...

What kind of power-ups would you guys like to see implemented? We have some unique one's so far, but I'm sure there are more possibility's!

Stay tuned!

make an singleplayer mode with missions and add blasters into the game (boss fights?) i know its hard to make but it wouod be cool if it gets inplemented :D

For the moment, we will not be releasing a singleplayer mode in the next update.

Blaster-powerup sounds good :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] matgras:
yes, with sp mode i meant it for future updates... also a lan mode maybe (things are getting complicated) for in the future

Version 1.1 adds power-ups to the game (full version) and adds "spaces in aliens" to the free version.

Also, the game-engine has been optimized.

And the Google Play text has been updated! (see first post)

[Android Apps and Games] Hektorapps:
If you have any opinion on our game, please share!
[Android Apps and Games] Hektorapps:
New update...

Version 1.1.1:

- Fixed bug that caused the game to crash on some devices.
[Android Apps and Games] Oscar-Mark:
OMG, I play this game all the time, have tried many apps on Play Store but none of them felt perfect. Can't wait to try this!

EDIT: it won't even open on my Nexus 7!!! :'(
[Android Apps and Games] Hektorapps:
This bug sneaked in a version that was online for about 1 to 2 hours this night, which we already replaced. Normally, it should work fine if you update your game to the last version.
[Android Apps and Games] Oscar-Mark:
I just downloaded it from Play Store!

Will try on my Arc S now
[Android Apps and Games] Hektorapps:
If you have the option to report the crash, please do so. We will then be able to find the bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Oscar-Mark:
Think I found it: I turned on auto rotation on my devices and that fixed it. App won't open when rotation is locked.

"Bugs": turn radius is too big on 7" screen and too small on 4" screen. App FCs when auto rotation is locked.

Some feedback: I don't like the spot pattern, why can't it be linear like the original game, the ''aliens'' are too fast, please add speed settings, the sparkling and the glowing animations are also really annoying, remove them, 10 rounds are too few, add more, colors are too bright and dark, make them ''weaker'' and lighter, spaces are too big, make them smaller, a pause screen (activated with menu or back) would be nice if you need to pause or quit the game.

Just some advice and suggestions, and that's just my personal opinion, really nice game, thanks for making it.

EDIT: Whole app is built on pngs?! Awesome! Really themer friendly app! Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] Hektorapps:
Thanks for searching out what was wrong :)

Most of the things you summed up are really taste-dependend. It's impossible to create graphics that everybody will like ;)

The pause-screen will be implemented on the next update, and the turn radius will be tweaked. We are looking for a fix for the screen orientation lock.
[Android Apps and Games] matgras:
oops, force close after update,

[Android Apps and Games] Oscar-Mark:
Y u no use standard DPI scales?! I have to scale every png separately to get the right sizes, do you know of any windows program that can scale a folder of pngs to a selected percentage? Dev-Drawable won't work since you use different scales.

What is the way to switch between CM10 and CM7 nandroid backups?

I tried the usual way: factory reset > restore backup. that got me a bootloop. I used the WIPE.zip. Didn't help.

Had to start from scratch (sbf) and even there I had bootloops. Only a stock recovery factory reset helped.

thx

/edit: Solution here

Convert /data back to ext3 before restoring backup. Goto Recovery > Back > Tools > Format to ext3 > wait...

After that do NOT wipe anything! Restore Backup.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
A FULL WIPE(including dalvik) and FULL restore should work. By that I mean you have to backup and restore both system and data after using the full wipe zip which will wipe data as well as system( its there in the themes and apps section). Remember to wipe first and then restore. It should work.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] measel:
Hi,

sorry for bumping this thread but I tried every possible method to switch between cm7 (maniac) and cm10 (2ndboot) and nothing except flashing stock sbf works.

I tried:

factory reset in stock AND custom recovery > restore nandroid = "Can't read Cache Log..." "Can't mount /data"

factory reset in stock AND custom recovery > cm7 kernel > restore nandroid = "Can't mount /data"

factory reset in stock AND custom recovery > restore nandroid > cm7 kernel = "Can't mount /data"

custom recovery > mount /data > restore nandroid = "Can't mount /data"

custom recovery > mount /data > flash cm7.update.zip = "Can't mount /data"

and i don't know what else

only way to restore is: Wipe/factory reset in Stock Recovery > flash SBF > Root > 2ndinit > flash cm7.update.zip > restore nandroid!

I really need a way to switch between Nandroids because I have to test Apps in CM10 but daily use is CM7.

Any idea how to solve this? What is the problem here anyways?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
You'll have to convert data to ext3.

Install cm10, in boot menu select tools then filesystem tools then convert to ext3 everytime you want to switch to cm7
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
+1 :D

It was not a problem till first ext4 builds came up

So sometimes it helps when you format data and cache to ext3 from bootmenu tools before you switch to CM7, but I had two cases when finished with corrupted CWM and had to start with sbf

You can also try, after formatting, flash CM7 and then restore nandroid backup of data only
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] measel:
will try that soon. :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] measel:
Only reformatting to ext3 is not enought!

I reformatted ext3 and restored a Nandroid directly on top and that FAILED.

Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure

After a reboot and another Nandroid restore it worked.

Does that mean you have to reformat data to ext3 via bootmenu, than reboot into recovery and restore nandroid? Or would that make the reformatting obsolete?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] measel:
Ok I have to ask again here because it puzzles me:

When I revert back from CM10 to CM7 I

reformat /data to ext3 which works ok and than

restore my backup. But

sometimes I have to restore twice and

I ALWAYS get a .android_secure error.

When I change from CM7 to CM10 I

do a factory reset and that used to do that without problems but

now I have to restore twice to get it working!

That costs a lot of time.

Question:

Is there a secure and working way of switching between systems?
