[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] fredphoesh:
This is seriously driving me up the £$@!¬ wall.

I had Kies and Moborobo installed to try get my SGS3 connected, and today I got another brand new SGS3 LTE and (FFS) ive spent two hours trying to connect it so I can root it & copy stuff over to it.

AAAAAUUUGGGGHHHHH

So far I have uninstalled Kies, Uninstalled Moborobo, Installed MSKIP's drivers for samsung several times. Windows shows that it has installed drivers for a Samsung device, but then the phone does not show in windows explorer and does not show in MSKIP's Toolkit v6.

EDIT:

THE PROBLEM WAS THIS:

After doing a backup of my IMEI/NV Data, I did not see the line further down in the thread saying to return to USB mode (I did not know I was LEAVING USB MODE! - there was no warning...)

So for anyone else who has done the backup procedure from liquidperfection, be warned, you must return to USB mode or you will not be able to use Mark's great utility!

Dial *#7284# on your phone to access PhoneUtil and select 'Qualcomm USB Settings' at the bottom. Now select 'MTP + ADB' and press 'OK' to return to the previous screen. Now press your 'Back' key to exit PhoneUtil. Your phone is now back to default USB operation.

Cheers,

Mark.

I bought a pair of Monster iSport headphone during black friday for $20. I normally use Jay's Headphone Control app to set my controls for skip, fast forward etc. I've been able to use that app on other headphones with no issues.

But with these when I press the toggle button on the headphones the softkeys light up but nothing happens. I'm using Jet Audio for my music app.

Is there another app i can try?? I'm running LiquidBeans 4.2 and can fast forward by the volume keys but would like to try and use the headphone buttons too.
[Thunderbolt General] Kiyuubi:
Has anyone else tried Go Dev's new Next Launcher? I really like it its very smooth for the effects that it has, although I'll be glad when they start getting themes got it and more icons.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I am using it now actually and I love it. I can't wait for themes to be made for it and the next live wallpapers too.
[Thunderbolt General] FirePsych:
It's $15 isn't it?
[Thunderbolt General] Kiyuubi:
Yeah it's $15.
[Thunderbolt General] Kiyuubi:
Yeah I was glad that I decided to look at the new paid app section in the play store today.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I sent you a pm fire.
[Thunderbolt General] Dark Jedi:
Think I'll pass. No app is worth $15.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Who said anybody paid for anything? >:)
[Thunderbolt General] santod040:
I've been using and playing around with it since it released.

I also find it to be quite functional, usable, smooth, nice looking and user friendly.

It very much reminds me of a cross between SPB Shell and TSF Shell.

With the best aspects of each incorporated, as well as some older GO touches.

I also look forward to more themes and have even been messing around, making a few of my own.

I also took their only Live Wallpaper and modded it and made my own versions with different colored orbs behind the honeycomb effect.

There is definitely great potential with this Launcher. Hopefully as it matures, the price can drop a little.

As I have only spent this much on one launcher before, and don't plan to do it again.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Care to post your version of the lwp?
[Thunderbolt General] santod040:
Sure, I can do that. No problem.

Did you have a color preference?

If not, then I will just post multiple color options when I do, later this evening.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
A blue to match the NuSense theme would be awesome but the multi color version would be just fine if that's what you got already.
[Thunderbolt General] Kiyuubi:
I liked SPB Shell too but they have it too where I can't use one downloaded from 4shared. This is definitely very slick and smooth though.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I never liked spb shell. I figured that for the price it should work a lot better than it did. It was almost like they were just throwing stuff in to make it seem like it's worth $15. Honestly next launcher is overpriced to but the go dev team puts out updates like juggernauts so expect it to get really good really fast.
[Thunderbolt General] Dark Jedi:
And also like to put a bunch of bloat on their launcher
[Thunderbolt General] Kiyuubi:
I don't really know about the bloat I didn't get enough time to really dive into it.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
Which one does? Spb or go? The next launcher has none at all. It is actually a smaller download than either or those launchers.
[Thunderbolt General] Dark Jedi:
The old go launcher. I remember when it was small and then they added all that crap.
[Thunderbolt General] k4v2n:
looks nice, but at $15, think i'll have to pass
[Thunderbolt General] xs11e:
Ditto, I have only one paid app on my phone and that's one that I won so it was actually free as well.

My PC software is almost all freeware as well, look up "CHEAP" in the dictionary, you'll see my picture there! :laugh:
[Thunderbolt General] Kiyuubi:
I've only bought a couple apps and they were minecraft setcpu and 4ext.
[Thunderbolt General] Spikelangelo:
It's very nice visually but not enough gestures like for the dock. Also I like to use swipe up to open the app drawer and my phone in the middle of the dock, Next Launcher won't let you change the app drawer button. I'll keep my eye on the updates though I'll probably not get it while priced that high.
[Thunderbolt General] disconnecktie:
I noticed a lot of that stuff is still missing but I bet that there will be more of that to come.
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
I've been using it for a couple days.

I like it. It's different.

I can't wait to see improvements in the future.
[Thunderbolt General] mattamous:
I really want to talk it as it sounds like everyone is digging it! $15 is too much for my blood tho
[Thunderbolt General] Kiyuubi:
Here's some screens if someone wants to know what it looks like. The lock ring isn't part of it I just wanted to show you guys.
[Thunderbolt General] Kiyuubi:
Yeah and it runs surprisingly smooth too, I can't wait for some good themes and widgets to go with it.
[Thunderbolt General] bigligg:
I had problems with it and my Widgets.. they would dissapear all the time. I would have to force close it then restart it to get them back. Like if I opened another screen I could seem them flash on the screen like there there but not visible
[Thunderbolt General] Kiyuubi:
I never use widgets anymore so I wouldn't know. I guess just email Go Dev.
[Thunderbolt General] bigligg:
Ill stick with Hollow launcher :)

[HTC One X] ace9988:
I've always been a fan of skins instead of cases (have insurance for when the case would've been needed). And I've shared my Evo 3D and Desire HD in the past, so it's only fair I do the same for the One X, it's a bit off centre, but I have adjusted it since

Let me know your thoughts
[HTC One X] viizx:
It would be awesome to have it for hox :)
[HTC One X] ace9988:
this is on the HOX, the others are in different threads
[HTC One X] virtualflyer:
Thank you very much. Are they removable and reusable? Quality? And what I like from gelaskins is that they cover also the upper part of the back.

Inviato dal mio HTC One X con Tapatalk 2
[HTC One X] ace9988:
quality of the skin is pretty good, i've taken it off like 3-4 times to refit it and resize it. quality is great, lovely gloss finish brings out all the colours and it fits very well.

I don't have any experience from gelaskin, but you might want to check with them whether they are illustrations or actual products, because where the back curves around the edges, there is a chance the skin will crease over those curved edges
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
Like the title says I am looking for a JB ROM that runs as fast and smooth as most ICS ROMs do...I love the features of JB but every ROM I have tried seems to run so sluggish and it annoys me to not be able to use my phone...I switch back to ICS and like that it is fast but end up missing the JB features especially the ones in CM10 any suggestions or suggestions on how to get JB to not run so sluggish and constantly freezing or taking so long to load things?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzN MusiQ:
JB ist faster than ICS because of Project Butter.

One of the fastest JB ROM is Rasbeanjelly.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcluvin1065:
Please try rasbean jelly with matrix cfs 24. I promise you wont regret it. Pm me if you want the 11/6 build which is 4.1.2 and very lighting fast.:D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
Yeah, ur nexus S is a little older than our S 4G so that could cause some of ur lag.

Does it lag even if a clean install with no added apps? By clean I mean formating everything & cleaning up ur SD card. I only ask since many have written that lots of old files on SD cards from GB & ICS apps that are restored do not mix.

So get bored with some time & do a clean install and add each app from the market instead of TB or other restored areas. See if it matters.

If not then its just that the Nexus S is just about reached it limit with ICS for smoothness for U.

Good luck

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
Thanks that seems to have helped a lot...wiped my SD card and then installed a 4.1.x ROM and installed all my apps from the market instead of from titanium it is running a lot better now...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
Actually that may have been premature...after actually using it for a bit I realize nothing has changed except for the fact I deleted things off of my SD card
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirt:
Have you tried a different kernel?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
I have tried the ones that come with the respective ROMs I have tried and air kernel
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Disable Google now and extra crap you don't need.

Try to troubleshoot your problem a bit with software such as betterbatterystats. That will at least give you a hint.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
Yeah, its just ur phone processor is slow for JB. The only solution is to run bare minimum apps so it won't clog the memory. But then what's the point of having a fancy phone.

I has a nexus S4G and I have minimal apps with slim bean. It runs great but I have to keep the ROM & phone in shape or else it will lag & crash. That and I didn't even install Google now or other JB features. So perhaps try that set up.

But its either stick with GB, ICS or minimal JB

or

get a new phone, so its a cycle that will never end. Heck I ran my poor little HTC Hero to the brink with all the new ROMs back then. Now its just a tired old media player with some games for my daughter & her friends.

good luck bro

Try formatting SD card to clear up fragmentation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
Yea I will be getting a nexus 4 if I can ever catch the thing in stock. But until then I am still stuck with this poor old thing which has been good to me. I was just trying to see if it was something I could do to run JB and it still be usable. I have been running it most of the day and while slower than ICS it is has not been horrible...that being said tomorrow I will probably go back to ICS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djwyman:
To update I am now running a stock 4.1.2 ROM( that has been rooted and de-odexed) and the ol gal is now running almost as smooth as this nexus 7 tablet I am typing on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meanderingmark:
Hi,

Cyanogenmod offers a "Go to Sleep" button in the notification drawer. Is there any difference between that, and just pressing the power button on the side of the phone? (Galaxy S2 I9100).

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
The only difference which MAY be is that when you press the power button, your screen turns off, but the device doesn't go into deep sleep until it reaches the set time for it to go to deep sleep. This time can be modified from the settings.

The "go to sleep" option probably takes the device into deep sleep without any delay.

But all this is just my assumption, so better wait for a more technical response from an expert.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millerkai:
I was wondering that too. When I have time I might run a test to see what the difference is.
[Bravo General] PsyClip-R:
Hi guys ! I've just discovered such a sourceforge page http://sourceforge.net/motorola/wiki/Projects/

There's a Bravo tree and a package available to download. It looks like Motorola opened Bravo sources.

I'm not sure so I need as many help as possible.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
Yep, its the sources Motorola used before they applied their patches...the kernel provided is the same one thats in the Defy, MS2, and some of the Droid phone sources. Sadly, they're not as helpful as you'd think they'd be, seeing as its the source code for the Droid\Sholes platform -- all device references in the code are for OG Droid and OG Milestone. :(

//That said, I've been interested in downloading all of it and compiling a rom from the Moto Sources. I haven't because I'm not that interested in doing it. :p
[Bravo General] PsyClip-R:
Well yes, maybe Quarx used these sources to compile a new build. I'm not shure..

Also i think motorola did that because of google bought it.
[Bravo General] skeevydude:
I'm pretty sure they're the ones he used.

Ya know, I've always wondered if something in there could help with the camera on MS2Ginger or if it would be possible to compile a Moto GB rom while adding in some of the kobe sources. I've also been wondering if it would be possible to port over some Moto ICS or JB roms if *insert Defy Dev here* manages to get a working 3.x kernel running. I really do like MS2...sucks I can't get 4.0 to boot on the Defy :(.

I really hope my hand starts feeling better soon. I gotta take a 30 second break from typing every 6-9 words.

PROTIP -- Don't let boiling water pour on your hand. :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GetRipped:
Hey HD2 guys. Need some help from a local pro. My girlfriend has an HD2 that is running just terribly. Force closes all the time etc. Upon inspection I see that she's running a version of CM7 from February 2011 (thanks to her brother). Can someone give me a quick runthrough of flashing stock. I am absolutely not a noob and know my way around kernels, ROMs, fastboot and recoveries. I would've just searched and started reading but its not my phone and I'm in a bit of a time crunch. Thanks HD2 community! Oh and the phone is T-Mobile if that's important
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Just download a stock RUU from the HTC website for your particular phone (i.e. EU/TMOUS, probably best to download v 3.14 for either), enter the bootloader through volume down + power and flash it via USB. Then, download HSPL4 and flash to a stock SPL such as 3.03 or 2.08.

If you want to flash a better Android version instead, just follow the guide in my sig.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newellj79:
So I just built for manta, and got a system.IMG instead of a zip. This has never happened before. For encore and tenderloin I always got zips. I do know how to install the image but was hoping someone could tell me what to do so I get the flashable zip. Thanks.

[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
After having a duff sd slot on my original surface my replacement arrived today, all good, left it doing updates and installing my apps for a while, all was well, or so I thought..

The keyboard is now not responding after a while, connected, works, close the cover, open it again, screen doesn't come on, press power button screen comes on, keyboard not responding, close cover, screen stays active, disconnect keyboard and reconnect it and it works again..

Had a quick look through the settings and there's nothing I can see that relates to keyboard sleep or power management..

Tried it on my old surface and its fine :\

Wondering if anyone has seen or heard anything similar, otherwise another tech chat with support tomorrow...
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
You might want to try rebooting the new Surface, and make sure the connection port where the cover links up is clean, but otherwise I don't know what would cause that problem. I've had cases where the cover wasn't recognized, but disconnecting and reconnecting it fixed that.
[Microsoft Surface] cx1:
Only issue I ever have with the cover is if I remove it while the tablet is sleeping and when it wakes it thinks it is still attached.
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
It's been rebooted many times so dont think its that, had a poke thru device managet last night and looked for power saving stuff but nothing relavant..

Connectors are all clean and it works in the old Surface.. :/

Maybe the keyboards just missing the tablet it came with lol
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Still nothing, hard reset, power offs nothing, have now noticed that the edges of the touch cover are peeling apart at the corners so might get this replaced as well, so far the support guys have been spot on, the device however while really promising just lacks finish :\
[Microsoft Surface] truffle1234:
Two options....

1. Return the cover..

2. Bring your surface bad cover to Microsoft store and let them figure out what is wrong...

I am very happy with my surface and the touch cover...
[Microsoft Surface] C-Lang:
I have a 5 second delay sometimes when opening and closing. Otherwise, ref let msft know
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
I've had 2 bad units now, don't think its the cover as it worked on the first surface before I returned it.

I'll get onto surface support when they are back, I don't seem to be able to raise a ticket on the new unit, touch cover might end up going back as well at this rate...
[Microsoft Surface] romeojunior:
I've had the same issue with the type cover. Sometimes it works fine throughout. Other times it seems to fall asleep until an adjustment is made.

I've caught the connection off by a few millimeters at times (although that doesn't explain why the initial connection would work), but you can look and check for that as well.

From now on I'll simply restart from the Power button without removing the connection to see if it's really a 100% mechanical issue.
[Microsoft Surface] Dane Reynolds:
Ha I've had all of these problems you've named
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
On Live Chat with support now, the MS forums seem to suggest a reset, I've tried it a few times tho, will see if they will fire out another cover..
[Microsoft Surface] Trig0r:
Right, cover is being swapped out on AR as well now, hope they hurry up and take the hold off the card though, the hold is for more than it would cost to actually buy the bloody thing new again..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] h1p1n3:
I like my screen to always be on when I am charging the phone, mostly becuase I drive a lot and it sucks to have the screen go off when you are using google maps. I seem that I have to keep changing the "screen always on" in the developer mode section in settings. Has anyone else been able to make this change stick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Thrillhouse847:
I definitely had that option checked when I set up my phone after flashing beans v3 but when I went to check just now it was not selected. I guess I have the issue too, apparently.

Update: I just restated my phone and the option is unchecked again. Definitely not sticking after reboot for some reason.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
I use the app *My Settings Pro* to set the screen to never time out whenever I have the phone docked in my truck.

It stays on until I set the screen timeout to 30 seconds & put it in my pocket.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Old MuckenMire:
There is a free app in the market called "Screen On"

It allows you to set the screen to stay "Always On" by a per app basis

So for example you can only select Google Maps and the only time the screen will stay on is when you are in Google Maps, etc..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoeDaddy:
My phone has been doing this since day one after reboot stay awake is unchecked I just use tasker now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] h1p1n3:
It mildly annoying. I like the screen on when its charging so I can just glance for notifications without touching it, or in the car mount. I guess I can just use my NFC tags for now.
