[LG Optimus 2x] cesarib:
Hello, i just bought an LG Optimus 2x p-990, the first thing i did was updating to official ICS, but similar to my previous phone, i cant stand the stock rom and wanted to flash a custom one (havnt decided yet witch rom i want). After some trouble i finally rooted my phone, but now im stuck at trying to flash a new recovery. When i try flashing it through rom manager it says the device hast an official recovery yet, and when i try flashing this (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098745) (note: i have usb debugging on and when i run it super user notifys that was given permision to shell) the cmd prompt opens for some seconds and closes again, and when i try to boot into recovery it goes to the stock recovery that wipes my phone.

Maybe this has been answered in here but believe me when i say i searched for the answer extensivly.

Hope i can get some help.
[LG Optimus 2x] vEget7:
make it simple,install rom manager then install recovery..
[LG Optimus 2x] cesarib:
I explained that i can not do it. ROM manager says the device is not listed and when i try to manually install the recovery it says permission denied.
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
Download and install nvflash driver(often called ATX) and install it. Then dl AIO all in one tool,from there you can install Cwm(can also be nvflashed) You can't use rom manager as it's not compatible with the new bootloader and partition table

Wanted some input from someone more tech savvy than I. Since the difference between 720 and 1080 smaller tv screens to our eyes are not much different (so I was told it only matters on very large tv's)

Will there be a huge discernable difference btween 720 and 1080 phone screens to the naked eye?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Supermighty:
I'm sure it makes a difference. How big of a difference I don't know. I haven't seen a 1080 screen yet. But the Note 2 has the best screen I've ever seen. I can't see the pixels, but when I look really close I can barely see the ragged edge of text. Simply reading it's wonderful, no pixels.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Arrio:
For a screen as big as the note 2's, you will definitely see a difference between 720p and 1080p.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DrmMaster:
I just wish it would output at 1080 thru mhl
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
I saw a droid dna and note 2 comparison side by side of the same .jpg image and I mean on the 1080p screen of the DNA you could definitely see the shadows on the space shuttle were more defined and not as washed out as the note 2 . Other very minute details were visible when you really looked at them . At first glance you could again see the dna was *slightly* more defined. Due to the lower pixel density and the 720p of the note 2.

That being said . Any difference was only slight and would not have lead me to chose the DNA over the note 2 alone. Now THAT being said. If you were going for the most high definition clearest possible picture with super bright colors . The note 2 is definitely not the winner.

I purchased the note 2 because I was going to buy a tablet in addition to the phone I had and the note 2 was JUST big enough to where it was acceptable for browsing the web and gaming as well as all the standard smart phone features. Im pleased with my choice as far as what I was looking for / expecting in my comprimise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ashgiles85:
Agree

Agreed totally I was going to get a ipad mini for portable

. Browsing as iphone 4 was too small and iphone 5 didn't impress me with the changes so I branched out saw a note 2 it was love at first site I truly have a pc in my pocket everywhere. Yes it can be slightly more time consuming to do things but while out the house this is just a beast!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] awrnsmn:
Same here. I had the nexus 7 and a Galaxy nexus. When the Note 2 came out I bought it simply because it's just big enough for both without carrying 2 devices. As far 720 vs 1080 I don't know that there would be to much visable difference. Not to mention you would need more battery to carry the extra on a 1080. I'm very happy with the screen on the Note 2!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LucJoe:
NZTechfreak's connectivity review seems to imply that it can do this, are you sure it can't?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Nate Rules:
The Note 2 has plenty of pixels to do everything you want it to. Adding more pixels isn't going to make your user experience much better. Maybe worse if it drains the battery. Also, I would rather have the extra .5 inches of the Note 2.

I'm an idiot. In Some mysterious way, I managed to kill my Nexus 7.

I've tried everything I can thing of to make the bloody thing work again. This is the closest I've come.

What I did then was to follow this guide to get it back on track.

Before that, I've tried to use Nexus 7 Toolkit as well as Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit.

dont use toolkits. root the device the right way, via fastboot. notice how there are many threads here on xda about people messing up their devices? notice how they all mention that a root toolkit was used? rooting is very easy the right way, just do a little reading about it, familiarize yourself with the terms and process.

Hello,

I am new to the Android world, and I recently purchased a N7 after selling my Kindle Fire (1st gen). The nice thing about the Kindle Fire was that I could transfer my PDF files to the Kindle Fire via USB and the files would show up under the "Docs" app and I would be able to read my personal files.

Here is what I have tried so far.

PDF file size is 88MB

Amazon Kindle app - Doesn't work because I can only transfer 50MB max through "Send to Kindle"

Adobe Reader - This seemed to work the best, but I don't like I have to to scroll down, I would prefer to scroll left/right like I was able to on my Kindle Fire.

Zinio - No idea how I can load my own files into this app, even after creating an account.

Is there a way I can load my PDF into Google Magazine or Google Books through sideloading or rooting?

Is there an free or trial app that would allow me to load my PDF magazines or books and have it look nice and clean as the Google Books/Magazine app does so I can see the cover art and such?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manishyadav05:
Use Google Drive

Download your pdf to N7 using Google Drive. Get a File explorer (HD File Manager) and just click on the pdf file. It will give you option to open with different apps. Kindle would be one of them.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsharma714:
That worked out great! Thank you!!

What I also ended up doing instead of selecting to open with Amazon Kindle app, I used HD File Manager to copy my PDF to the actual Amazon Kindle app directory and pasted, this way I can directly access the PDF by going into the Amazon Kindle app.

Hey guys, I want to find a hard backing for this phone (because hard plastic feels so much better in the hand than gel case.. right? I haven't actually tried both out but I feel it would) but I want something that won't interfere with the edges of the front of the phone. Does anyone know of any cases like this or can you sell me on a soft backing that would again not interfere with the front experience? Thanks :)

[Nexus 4 Accessories] James BlackHeron:
Another vote for the Rinke Rearth SLIM. It's a fine case. It's very thin and makes the phone totally not slippery if you get the matte version. It feels good in your hands and will help protect the buttons from damage too. There isn't a ton of protection from drops as the top and bottom sides are pretty much exposed, but it's more or less what you are looking for short of some sort of thick back protector that sticks on like a screen protector.

What is the WIFI sleep policy of your device set to?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quatrix:
I hadn't changed the sleep policy, which has always been set to "never" and my battery still lasted 3+ days. Maintaining a Wi-Fi connection actually uses very little power, despite people mistakenly blaming it as a power drainer. It's always an app or setting causing undesired use of the Wi-Fi that can cause battery issues, not the Wi-Fi itself.

Anyway, problem solved. Using a data monitor I saw a lot of activity coming from the DHCP service. It was actually a problem with the DHCP lease time on my router, and the phone was trying to renew its IP address thousands of times a day. I fixed the lease time and now one battery charge lasts more than 3 days again.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Undiscovered:
I'm not certain if it helps, but I use DroidWall to prevent most of the apps from accessing the internet. You can customize which apps you want to give access to Wifi and/or Data.

It should help your battery a bit.

I was trying to unroot my TMO SG3 SGH-T999 so I can exchange it under warranty. I was following the instructions here, but using mobile ODIN instead of the Windows version, as I am on a Mac (OS X 10.7.5). I found two ROMs on my external SD - Liquid Smooth JB and the Stock ROM - so I thought, let's try to flash the Liquid Smooth JB just for fun, while I'm at it. When I tried to do this before using CWM Recovery, it would load to the Liquid Smooth JB logo screen then freeze, but I could always restart it and go back to the regular ROM - so I was hoping maybe using Mobile ODIN it would work - this was clearly a bad idea.

It's totally bricked now :(

I can boot it into Download mode, which looks like and then but that's it.

I installed Heimdall after reading some people post in various forums that they were able to recover from similar situations using it, but I can't find a Heimdall firmware package for the SGH-T999.

And ideas? This is really bad ...

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

If you can get into download mode it's not really bricked
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Idyar:
Bricked generally means black screen no response when plugged in or Power cycled or anything.

As people have already pointed out get a Windows machine or boot camp a Windows partition and flash an image with Odin. There is a bunch in the thread in android development.

Best of luck flashing let us know how you get on.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OsmanMusa:
I laughed hard @ LET ME FLASH THE LIQUID SMOOTH WHILE AT IT

, if your route and goal is to revert back to stock rom then how can u flash liquid smooth while AT IT? makes zero sense since odin is just for stock and i never heard of odin flashing custom roms. And guess what? The warranty people got flash counters so figure out a way to reset your download flash counter or they will find its been tampered with.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lakeshow423:
Get to a Pc! If you can get to download mode you are definitely not hard bricked. Flash a stock firmware and ur good to go!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jelpern:
I was able to restore the stock ROM using CWM, which I had forgotten was on the phone (I had been using Volume Down-Home-Power so much I forgot about Volume Up). All in all not one of my prouder moments, but all's well that ends well.

That said, I would like to know why the Liquid Smooth ROM didn't work, and how I could tell a working ROM from a non-working one before flashing it. I did an md5 and it matched.

Yes @psykhotic, I had trouble with this ROM when using CWM, but when I asked Max Lee of http://galaxys3root.com/ - whose instructions I had followed for rooting my phone and installing the Liquid Smooth ROM - his response made it sound like it could have just been a fluke:

There was also reason to believe it could have been related to CWM, such that a different software for flashing the ROM might have worked (when I say reason to believe, I mean to someone who isn't an expert in flashing ROMs).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Shawnpaul80:
Just a little FYI that I have learned when flashing anything that can cause you to brick. Make sure that you rad all the comments and see if others are having issues with flashing. Make sure you download the flash file for your area. Can't flash a us phone with a Chinese phone. You got very lucky from the sounds of it and am glad to hear that you could still boot it.

Info from Samsung Support

Hello, I bought my S3 mini for 5 days and I had sent an e-mail to Samsung ... Today comes te answer, Gorilla Glass, yes or no?!

The panel is manufactured from high quality materials (scratch and impact resistant) but Samsung do not know if it's Gorilla Glass. I saw of the website from Gorilla Glass and the S3 mini is not listed there.

Here is the e-Mail from Samsung, but in German language:

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kicker63:
I think Samsung use standard scratchproof glass on all new phones now.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocMAX:
Does not have. I've tried to scratch it using a box cutter, keys, coins and it broke.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sholimar:
Sand scratches it because it contains bits of quartz (7 on the Mohs hardness scale - diamond is 10, the maximum, talcum is 1). Keys and knives won't scratch it because usually, their hardness revolves around 4.5-5.5 (else they would become brittle).

Now that's out of the way, I still don't believe it has Gorilla Glass. Don't take gsmarena's word for it, since at first they were stating that the s3 mini also had a dedicated mic for noise-canceling and micro-SIM slot (I emailed them and they changed it within the hour). If we would have had GG then we would have seen it mentioned in the press releases and ads. Most likely, we just have the "normal" scratch-resistant glass, which does its job pretty well (the really cheap touchscreens have a horrible, plastic screen, much different from what is used on our phones).
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kicker63:
Yeah solid scratchproof glass.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cable36wu:
It does have gorilla glass, probably v1.

I tried to scratch my s3 mini's face with everything from keys, a metallic tipped mechanical pencil and a steel needle with some gusto, and I couldn't leave the tiniest mark.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fredl99:
Maybe both?

Sorry for digging out an old thread, but...

Could it be that they use whatever they get?

I've just bought 2 used minis on ebay, one 8190 and one 8190N. While the first came with a literally pristine display the second one is covered all over with fine scratches. And this despite the fact, that the first one had two very clear marks of ground contact at the edges of its plastic cover.

Of course my N-model could have been laying around on a sandy beach.

But on the other hand it would explain why even Samsung support cannot tell. Maybe they would need to know the serial number to investigate further...
