[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K!P:
Dear All,

I know this has been asked countless times already, but I was wondering if the Samsung S3 USB connection kit would work with the N10.

I've seen the OTG cables and seemingly these work without a problem, but I find the cable to be a bit sloppy visually

and would like something a bit more discrete.

(edit)

I'm unable to post outside links on account of being a new member and all.

But If you put: "Mobile Fun Connection Kit for Samsung Galaxy S3 / Note 2" in google images it'll be the first ones to pop up.

There's a demo vid on youtube as well.

It seems to work great for the S3 and I don't see a reason why it would not work with the N10, but I wanted to be sure before actually purchasing.

ps. this was my first post so if I put it in the wrong forum or whatnot, Mods please do correct me.

Many thanks in advance,

K!P
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blueback22:
That doesn't look discreet at all.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, but why not spend $1 on an OTG cable and have access to all the same features?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MPJ88:
err yeah! as blueback said, thats not descreet!

It will work as the micro sd card reader i made for my nexus 10 also works in my friends s3. There are better things out there though
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K!P:
Great,

Many thanks for the reply guys.

Indeed, discrete may not be the right word.

But I find it looks a bit cleaner.

I just find a loose cable a bit sloppy, hanging to the side.

This just goes a bit more with the lines of the device and plus it has the micro SD etc.

Me thinx me shall order this.

I'm actually still waiting for my N10 to arrive.

Paid a hefty premium on Ebay and still have to wait 2 weeks for delivery.

Thanks again for the input guys.

Much appreciated.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] YANG-KAF:
Hi. I have been scouring the net for a while and only thing i could find was that iphone and s3 (other phones) pin out configuration is different.

my question is this. is it possible to use a two way radio handsfree with ptt button (as those are more solid and well built) with a smartphone or my s3?

because most sellers give the option to choose a jack for the handsfree, so if i choose the 3.55mm jack, should it work?

or do handsfrees like

ebay.com/itm/Earpiece-Samsung-Galaxy-Covert-Acoustic-Tube-Headset-PTT-Microphone-/280954126041

have special modifications?

thanks a lot in advance to anyone who can help.

sorry I'm new here and wasn't sure whether to post this to Q&A or here, as it is a question, but this is the accessories forum.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shamez23:
What exactly are you trying to achieve with that configuration?

The push to talk button on a headset for a walkie talkie is, like the send button on the device itself, used solely because you can either receive or send but not both at the same time. As long as you don't push the button your handset is set to receive, push it and your handset switches to send mode.

A telephone can do both at the same time. That is two way as I understand it and whether it's a telephone your talking about or a two way handsfree device doesn't really matter in that case, for both it's rather useless to have a ptt button. Well, in some cases you might want to mute your microphone for short periods of time but do you really need that often enough that it would be worth the hassle of having to push that button every time you want to speak?

I have no idea if the ptt button on a handsfree handset would work as an "accept call" button of a regular phone headset. Maybe. But since there isn't much tech in the microphone unit of a regular headset they are rather sturdy. Whatever you are doing that might need something more solid, you better make sure whatever protection you use for your S3 is up to the task aswell. If not, having to replace the headset unit will be the least of your worries.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] YANG-KAF:
Well. to be honest i just wanted it to work as a regular handsfree.

You are absolutely right, if i would have to push the ptt button each time i want to use the microphone, even within a call, it would be useless.

I will not be doing anything extreme, just regular use, but i keep my headset in a lot and i was just tired of regular headsets dying on me. Thing is, they don't die in my pocket as i keep them in a little case, the connections seem to be coming undone simply due to the amount of use.

Thanks a lot for your answer, Also, i have an otterbox defender for my s3. This is expensive tech which is very precious to me and i do all i can to protect. Thanks again
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shamez23:
What connection is breaking? The 3.5mm jack or your headphone plugs?

I do have a throatmicrophone with a ptt button for my walkie talkies. The 3.5mm plug isn't much sturdier than those of a normal headset, neither is the headphone.

Maybe there are sturdier ones out there but I'm pretty sure they won't come cheap. Even those aren't unbreakable. Bend a cable often enough and it will break no matter what cable it is. There is nothing you can do about it except not to bend it. Carry your phone differently, don't wrap your headset too tightly when you put it your case. You said it's a little case, maybe that's the problem.

Buy a couple of those dirt cheap copies of the original Samsung headset on ebay. They are under $5 and are OK for voice calls.

If you prefer using better headsets because you want better sound, you could try to find a cheap extension cable. Buy a couple of those and just use a new one when needed. Your headset will live longer .

Get a bluetooth headset. No cables that could break but more expensive and another batterie you have to look after.

Hi there,

At the very bottom of my device ( ICS + TouchWiz Launcher), there are the default icons for "phone", "contacts", "web", and "applications".I want to replace them with my own apps in my custom ROM so that the custom apps appear by default on the dock.

Now,the problem is for instance, i removed stock "phone" and "Contacts" apps from /system/app and copied new phone and contacts app in there. Then i created the build, flashed the ROM and rebooted. After reboot, the places for phone icon and contacts icon were empty. Its like:

Before replacing the apps dock was - phone - contacts - web - App

After replacing the apps dock is - empty - empty - web - App

Is there any specific file i need to edit to do the trick ?

Any help/suggestion would be immensely appreciated!

Thanks

Hello~

I've been trying for the past gawshdamn three hours to enable my phone to run Google's Jelly Bean software... but to no avail.

It's been a long time since I last rooted my phone and did all the technical actions; so I'm fairly behind on what to do and all.

First off, this is my current Software Information from Settings:

Android Version

4.0.3

HTC Sense Version

4.0

Software Number

Android Revolution HD 6.0.0 by mike1986

The phone is from Optus and I've rooted it and installed the custom rom.

My attempt:

I've tried to install the Optus OTA which I found...Only to find that it would be stupid to update an official OTA on a custom ROM.

I then tried looking for a custom ROM and found that there is none available for my model?

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1997542)

So I want to ask...

How do I update my phone to the JellyBean with Sense? Or is this option even available to me?

If no... how can I update my phone to the Jellybean without sense?

This is giving me such a headache tonight :(

I would appreciate help,

Thanks! :D
[HTC One X] tomascus:
In the general section, go to stock cid backups thread and download the nanodroid backup for Optus. Then restore it on cmw recovery. This should get you back to stock.

And JB for Optus hasn't been released yet. It's eta is mid December but I highly doubt there will not be delays. The original eta was early December.
[HTC One X] :
Thanks for the method of returning to stock.

I successfully returned it to stock OS now :)

Hi everyone,

I am getting good deals on both a white and black [not the grayish one] one X, need to decide today which one to buy. I have seen that the white version is more common, also in reviews it kind of stands out as well. I want to ask your opinion on which one is better ie,

-more elegant looks wise, when held in hand etc

-gets dirty more easily, more easy to clean, would proove to be more resistant to scratches [atleast appearance wise] overall

Help me out here!
[HTC One X] cobby911:
I have the black version I'd say i prefer it over white but its up to you.
[HTC One X] serwan:
I have a white one, and my friend have a black one, for me the black one look more executive and nice.
[HTC One X] muma1r:
Someone just made me realize that there is not "black" version of the one x, just the grayish one. So its the grayish one that you prefer over white then? The problem is that i haven't held both of them side by side, so it keeps crossing my mind that the white one probably looks better! lol
[HTC One X] arknailed7754:
I had the white and hated it. Looked crap imo. Got the grey and love it. Looks smart. Best bet is look in the shops to compare. I found the white showed grime more

It's all personal preference though dude look at them in real life not just pics.

Lol I say grey
[HTC One X] muma1r:
Yeah well, i've decided to get the gray one ..So thanks for all the suggestions ppl!

Email with refund confirmation received on the 6th (Dec.) and it showed up on my credit card on the 7th.

Took me four phone calls and two "escalations" to receive the refund. Not sure if my time was worth it..

Google customer service reps are seriously ill-informed. I discovered a gap between the screen and the bezel on my unit. When I called to request a replacement, they said to me (not once, but twice since it took two phone calls) "uhhh, we issued a refund, we can't send a replacement".

The only thing refunded was the shipping! facepalm...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpepe:

I emailed them about the refund last week and the first email said that I had already gotten it. I emailed back and said nothing has come through. I got another email stating that maybe my CC company had denied it and to check with them - Never had an issue w/my CC company doing this before. So I decided to call Google and the rep forwarded me onto a "specialist" who said that they are doing the refunds in "batches" and if I don't have it in the next 7-10 days to call back. Frustrating that I can't get an honest answer out of any of them and that they said w/in 7 days it would be refunded.

Hi guys,

strange question: I was on an old MIUI GB ROM and decided to upgrade to the official MIUI JB ROM. Saved everything using MIUI backup. I then installed the ROM (NativeSD) and everything went wrong. When I finally got it working ok, it was way laaaaaaaaaagy, so I decided to try tytung's CM10 JB ROM.

Stupid me - didn't take a Titanium or image backup in recovery. I do however have the MIUI backup file. Anyone know of a way that I can either automatically or manually use the data in the MIUI backup to restore at least my game saves, SMS's etc in CM?

Any help appreciated!

[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
Sorry to bump my own post, but I figured out how to remap APP_SWITCH to MENU, but I can't seem to get the 3 dot overflow menu button to show up in apps (like chrome), or map google now/search to long press home or long press menu. If anyone has any insight on this I'd greatly appreciate it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deleted member 4112216:
While this isn't exactly what you want, I think you should be able to enable the navigation bar to give you the virtual home/recent/back buttons and trigger the virtual menu button. I don't have this phone, but it should work to just open up the build.prop and add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" (requires root obviously) and reboot. I've only done this on a galaxy s cm so it may go badly with a stock rooted... try at your own risk. If you do try, please respond (and post a screenshot :o) as I'm curious and considering this phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
I tried adding that line (again) but no luck...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deleted member 4112216:
It looks like (from the screenshot) that you have it =1, not 0. You want it to =0 because it's like saying false, there are no hard keys so android should add the navigation bar. Try changing it to =0, and maybe use a text editor like the one in root browser (free) and reboot. Let me know what happens
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
Wow you're right... stupid mistake on my part haha, I'll get right back to you after I try it again.

EDIT: Yup that did the trick. Not quite what I was looking for but cool anyways. Thanks!

Now is there anyway to remove the 3 dot overflow bar since my menu key still works lol
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deleted member 4112216:
Can you post a screenshot? I'm not sure which you mean (3 dot menu or nav bar). Enabling the nav bar is just an easy way to get both a multitask button and the virtual menu button in an app's action bar. I'm not sure about just getting the action bar menu button, but if you don't figure it out it is a setting in cm10/10.1
[AT&T LG Optimus G] C2fifield:
Its not a big deal since I think it only applies in the settings menu, but yeah I would love to have cm 10 haha
