[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stupifier:
I could pull the battery...and currently do when my S3 freezes. Sadly, doing this is rather cumbersome for my situation. To remove the battery:

1. Remove case which is tightly bound to phone.....I foresee repeated removal will harm case.

2. Remove battery backing from phone.

3. Remove small metal disc I've placed in between phone backing and battery. This metal disc is part of a Magnetic Car Mount I use (very slick). Placement of this metal disc is specific to avoid NFC issues.

Given all that, battery removal is a total PITA. I don't think I'm alone here.......I imagine the vast majority of people would prefer a button-hold combination to force restart their phone in the event of a freeze. I believe this is the very reason the method was created. Nobody likes removing their battery....especially after knowing other phones have more elegant methods of force restarting. Furthermore, I have a strong feeling the S3 DOES HAS such ability. It is just a matter of discovering what the proper combination is.....maybe its 2-button hold.....maybe 4-button hold....I just don't know. That is why I'm here asking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
I didn't mean anything by saying that, I forget all the stuff people have on their phones because I run mine bare. I'm sure there is a way to do it just seems like no one knows it. I'll say the one or twice mines froze up it rebooted itself after a little bit.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shootind5nukes:
Before I bought the GS3 I had an HTC One S and the battery wasn't able to be removed. If you held the power button for like 10+ seconds it would force reboot the same way power + home on iphone forces reboot. It seems crazy to me that you can't do that on every phone. I mean phone manufactures have to anticipate phones freezing up every once in a great while. How do they expect them to restart? Expecting a customer to remove the case and the phone backing to pull the battery seems like a terrible way to solve this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Just figured it out for you

Volume up, home and power

Force powered off my device just now.

You have to hold power, vol+- for about 5 to 10 seconds, to power down idk how to force a reboot. But this method is good enough for me. I use it all the time it works on tw and aosp Roms. Sometimes it powers down around the 5 second time and sometimes it takes longer ldk why, guess it depends on how locked up you are.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stupifier:
Tried on CM10....not working.

It is the iMagnet Car mount. The thing is amazing and not expensive. There is an extensive review thread in the accessory page for our S3 here.

http://www.amazon.com/Cradle-less-Quick-snap-Technology-Smartphone-Windshield/dp/B008IOQ3K6

It's weird that this function would be ROM specific. I specifically remember this function was a constant across ALL ROMS on my Droid Incredible. Pisses me off I can't perform this reset on CM10....then again, its still kinda phasing bugs out..so who knows.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Interesting, I tried all of the combinations given in this thread and they did not work. Of particular importance though, this three finger salute method is still reliant on software working to control it. I don't know how it is controlled in other devices, but if the software that controls it is locked up, nothing is going to reset it except for pulling the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nightmare_24_7:
I did it just now by just holding down the power button for about 10 seconds. I'm running slim bean rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Didn't work on CleanROM 5.0. I would think if there is truly a software reset on our devices, it must be controlled separately from the ROM and should be the exact same combination regardless of what ROM you are running.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Exactly, this shouldn't be ROM specific. That's why in wondering if the combo I have earlier is just causing some error is my phone that us powering it down

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shootind5nukes:
I don't think it could be controlled by ROM at all. On my One S if let's say I just flashed a new rom and it wouldn't even get past the boot screen I could hold power button for 10+ seconds and it would reboot, even if I just did factory reset and cleared system. I think it's more so in the phones "bios" than in the rom itself. Having it in the ROM that is freezing up doesn't make sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
I've been reading around everywhere and everyone says that holding down the power button for 10-20 seconds will get the phone to turn off and then you can just power it back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pkd600:
Tried it. Does not work on CleanROM 5.0. This can not be ROM specific if it exists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Coop9:
I'm running CM10, 12/6 nightly.

This is with the screen locked.

After holding the power button (or any combination which includes it) down for 30 seconds it shuts down. I'd see if it says anything in the logs, but I don't have a USB cable with me.

Wi-Fi direct is used to play your music and stuff at a capable TV through Wi-Fi.

Works like a charm over here with a Samsung ES7000 series TV. I just start the music, tap Choose Player, hit the TV and the TV switches to the music player which I can control with both the remote and my phone. It is NOT used to transfer files between 2 phones. Use Beam for that.

In ICS its in Settings > More, and as for JB, WiFi > (press menu key) .

Hope I helped you. ;)
[HTC One X] Zulake:
Lol, no. I'm not.

I asked this question at HTC, they told me WiFi Direct isn't used for transferring files. It's used to send 'small media' such as music to a TV or other WiFi Direct capable devices without the use of HTC Media Link HD.

I have tested this, and confirmed it.

You cannot send files through built-in WiFi functions at this moment, except when you use 3rd party apps.

At Your Own Risk!!! I Am Not Responsible For Anything You Do To Your Device

So if you are like me you're tired of looking at the gaudy version of a nav bar and soft keys that amazon has come up with. So I started looking around for a way to modify the soft keys to look more like stock android. I may at some point dive into the framework and rewrite portions to do this, but in my search I came across an old method for removing the nav bar altogether. It is a very simple build.prop edit and at the same time adds some screen real-estate. I've confirmed this does work on this device, check out the screenshots below.

How to(rooted device):

1- You will first need a soft key/nav buttons app(once this is done the stock keys will be gone, and kinda hard to navigate without some). I like using Button Savior, it allows you to place the soft keys anywhere around the perimeter of the screen, and has multiple themes you can use. Also if you have the paid version you can change the number and position of buttons

2- Using a file manager navigate to /system/build.prop file

3- Open build.prop with a text editor, scroll to the end and on a new line enter:

qemu.hw.mainkeys=1

4- Save and reboot.

Now there are ways to do this with launchers but it will not be permanently removed and will still show up in apps.

To get stock keys back just delete the line you entered in the build.prop and reboot

Remove soft keys

Hello

Just wanted to say thanks for the above info. It all works great and the extra room on the screen is appreciated. By the way, I am using CM 10 rom on my RAZR M, and it works great there as well. Doesn't work perfectly on the stock RAZR M, although both soft keys and header info (3G/4G-signal strength, etc).are removed as well, but there is a System.UI closing warning. However, it does work on the stock if the added directions are removed from build.prop in text editor, but NO reboot. Otherwise the stock keys return.

Works fine on my recently re-rooted 7.2.2 - went ahead & sprung for the pro so I could remap the phone key to something useful ("calling home", going to the original home so I can read books. I sometimes forget that's what I originally bought it for).

Thanks.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] ayaxxa:
Sadly, i must say that i detected an issue. Some apps that are coming with an own menu-button lost this button, e.g. Aldiko (app to read books) or google chrome. In chrome, the menu can be accessed with the menu-button that comes with button saviour, but the menu of Aldiko can't be accessed at all.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] xxsurfacexx:
Wow, this is the greatest thing I have done to my kindle yet, make sure to install button savior first or else you are gonna be having a hard time fixing it. Couldnt access my root to change the build prop back to install button savior, luckily i was able to download the apk file on my computer and transfer it over and install it. Set it to appear when i swipe from the right corner...and goes away after 5 seconds..different themes... and alot of options when it comes to using custom triggers. Found a pro version on google, works flawless.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] hellbrandt:
Nice tip, I used button saviour previously on my HTC Desire and found it to be a great piece of kit, but I've noticed that while using it on my Kindle, particularly in portrait mode, when the button saviour bar is closed there is a flicker lower down the screen which is very annoying. Its as though it repositions itself at the bottom of the screen before closing. I'm using the pro version as well, so it's not got anything to do with that.

For now I've gone back to the default nav bar - it is annoying that there is no autohide for that really as otherwise it does the job. There must be a way to autohide it as some apps do that.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] rockystar000:
I also had the no menu button problem. I had to go back to stock nav bar till that is figured out..oh well
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] xxsurfacexx:
You can customize it in button savior to make a menu button there are a ton of extras in the settings
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] rockystar000:
Yeah i know but with out stock nav bar the menu button doesn't do anything. For instance if i set it up with a menu button on button savior but no nav bar when an app should have a menu button it wouldn't be there any more. The button savior menu button also does nothing when u click it. If the stock nav bar is their however then the button savior menu button works again and it appears in the app again
[7" Kindle Fire HD Themes and Apps] fmkilo:
I had noticed this, but not the part about the menu working with the bar there. perhaps we could mod the framework-res.apk to set the height to 0 or something then we would not need to do the qemu.hw.mainkeys=1..

Or you could buy a cheap Wifi router? Bluetooth has very low transfer speeds. Max speed is 25mbps and that's probably on top of each other.

There is software on the net that turns your PC into a router and spits out internet over wifi. I had to use this in a hotel with wired only connections.

If your trying time avoid wifi for some reason... good luck. Bluetooth is a pain to setup but I'm.sure there are apps for it somewhere.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Classpro:
Can't use a wifi router because they detect it and shut off the connection.

Open garden works perfectly, but some programs including k-9 mail don't think there is an Internet connection. Have to manually sync (which works). I've seen some suggestions that if I reinstall and set up k9 with the open garden connection it might work. When I get time I'll post results.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sokonomi:
I have a download box that continually seeks and downloads new TV shows, and I like to watch them on my tablet.

What I want to achieve is making my tablet copy and then delete the sourcefile of the new shows my downloadbox deposits in a designated folder.

There are lots of sync apps out there, but as expected, none of them has the option to move files, focusing entirely on mirroring.

This means whenever I delete a show on my tablet after watching it, the sync app would replace it again.

Setting it to both way sync usually results in copying missing files rather then deleting the excess ones.

I have tried setting up an FTP server on my tablet and letting my PC handle all the logistics with a simple batch file,

but this all too often results in corrupted files because the FTP transfer seems to regularly flake out.

Does anyone know of a solution to securely and automatically move files from PC to tablet?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam77Root:
Hi everybody!

I have an almost 2 years old DHD which I think is completely bricked. It was working for approximately one years perfectly and then suddenly it stopped working. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it only vibrated once and did nothing more. Sometimes it turned on and these working periods were enough to restore to stock condition (It was rooted and had Eng S-OFF before.). I had brought it to service and they said they was not going to repair it as the device got water damaged. I'm pretty sure it was not! After a few weeks, it started working again. I was using it for 3 months then it bricked again and it's the situation today as well.

Previous week I looked into the development thread and saw all of these new amazing roms. So I took my DHD to see if it's working or not. The situation is the same. Everytime I power it on, the phone only vibrates once and nothing happens. I'm not able to get into hboot mode. At some very rare occassions the phone turns on and works flawlessly till reboot. When I connect it with USB, the computer doesn't recognize it. Battery is charged, I even tried another battery.

Does anybody know what happens with the phone? I'm open to any possible solutions to try. Please don't suggest to bring it to service or repair it, because I have another phone, just want to try to recover it and ask your ideas about the problem.

Thanks in advance!
