[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
CWM or any custom recovery like TWRP (whatever is available for your device) is the best way to backup. If you're already rooted, you won't need to again unless you restore to stock. Flashing a custom recovery doesn't affect the ROM in any way.

As an alternative method of backup, you can use 'adb backup' (read about it) but it's more complicated. Custom recovery is the best.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailgunner9:
Phone is Stock Galaxy S3 4.1.1 at least for Now. Downloaded Rom Manager so can I use it to install CWM or do I need to do it thru Odin as your link showed? Thanks for helping me!!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
I'm not sure about that. Try ROM Manager first.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailgunner9:
No Rom Manager says Galaxy S3 not worked with it yet when you click to flash CWM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Then look in the Galaxy S3 forum specific to your model (unlocked/carrier variant). There are usually guides and toolkits for everything from rooting to flashing ROMs to restoring to stock, made specifically for new and inexperience users. You'll easily find a way to flash recovery there.

Ok, just had a look, recoveries are indeed directly flashable to your phone. You don't *need* Odin, although it can be flashed that way too. In any case, if ROM Manager isn't working for you for whatever reason, flash TWRP recovery. TWRP = TeamWin Recovery Project. It's a much better and more useful recovery than CWM. Follow the link below to find TWRP recovery along with installation instructions for international Galaxy S3 (unlocked version) -

If you have a carrier variant, choose your device correctly from the list in the TWRP website - http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices

[AT&T LG Optimus G] gregk232:
If you are concerned with a desktop/multimedia dock, we are kind of SOL at the moment if you want any kind of functionality that goes beyond charging the phone.

If you are looking for a vehicle dock, the best option IMHO is a an Infuse car dock. It's $5 if you can find one. It don't get any cheaper than that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandiegan:
I cannot get my phone to vibrate for each new email in an email thread. It only vibrates on the first email. I have the box un-checked for "notify once" and my notifications box is checked and my vibrate box is checked. Everything with the phone is completely stock and I am using the stock GMail app. I like to think I am not retarded and do not think I have the incorrect boxes checked/unchecked. The phone gets the mail messages (and the LED lights up), but does not vibrate.

Here's a screenshot but the forum won't let me post it because I am a noob

Dirty flashing would be a bad idea going across roms. The loss of other users‘ data is a minor inconvenience when contrasted with the issues you would be introducing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sdwise:
So, I don't leave my transformer infinity on all the time and when I start it up I get spammed with old notifications from when the tablet was off. This really makes me mad. I need to know if there's a way to limit notifications to sound off only for notifications that come in while its on and ignore the rest.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I don't believe there is a way to stop them from popping up.

All I've ever heard of is unchecking notification for the app individually under settings\apps\all...of course then you'll never see a notification.

If you find an app or and edit for this post back.

I'd like to know also.

Today I was setting the email account of my dad phone.

But for example if hi is connected in somwhere else trough the local wifi the incoming emails enter without a problem, but can not send emails.

Now, there is another problem my dad use thunderbird in his laptop and dont know how to transfer his contact list (address book) to the android phone, right now using Maildroid was easier to setup than mail-9.

[Nook Touch General] jun127:
So, after removing cell idle from the battery drain equation and disabling as many system apps as I could get away with, I notice system idle is draining the vast majority of power. If I barely use the nook, it only lasts for about 3 days. 97% of the battery drain is from "system idle" and 3% is from screen. I noticed that system idle drains as much power per minute about as the screen does. How can I diagnose what is sucking the power when idle? Under ideal circumstances, overnight drain should only take 1-3%, but for me it drains about 15% on idle.
[Nook Touch General] petra333:
Don´t know if this helps but since I upgraded the official firmware to 1.2.0 on my Nook Glowlight, I have the same issues. My nook not being rooted or in any way changed, I suppose they have included some bulls*t in their original fw. So if you are using it as a base for your rooted image, it might explain the battery draining.

They have pretty quickly came up with a version 1.2.1, maybe they´ve realised and resolved the issue, so I will try this as soon as my nook recovered from the latest drain. If that doesn´t help, I´ll go back to 1.1.5, and if that fails, I´ll visit them and kick some butt for ruining my perfectly well working reader. Thank you so much, B&N!

SpaceBalls Custom Boot Animations​

Greetings all.

I was helping a friend of mine develop a custom boot animation for his SGS3, which has led to creating these SpaceBalls custom boot animations.

Thus, I bring you:

Vespa's Vengeance​

(a.k.a. "He shot my hair...").

NOTE: If you're using stock kernel and do not have custom boot animation support, download the CWM_CustomBootAnimation_Enable.zip file found in this thread (it's the fourth post in the thread). It will allow you to use the custom boot animation files.
​

ALSO NOTE: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device, if your SD card goes dead, and everything else!

There are two versions of the file: a "cleaned-up" version for those who need to have a "non-swearing" version, and an uncut version that has uses the original script. Both are flashable zip files. All of these files have been tested with a stock variant ROM.

Clean Version: https://dl.db/Vespas_Vengeance_Clean_Boot_Anim.zip

Uncut Version: https://dl.db/Vespas_Vengeance_Boot_Animation.zip

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

NANDROID BACKUP!!! I always recommend a Nandroid backup first.

If your kernel does not support custom boot animations, download the Custom Boot Animation Enable zip file and flash via CWM.

Download the appropriate boot animation and flash using CWM.

--UPDATE 1/22/2013--

And now, may I present:

The Combination Is 1-2-3-4-5​

(a.k.a. "...the stupidest combination I've ever heard...").

Full-length Boot Animation: https://dl.db.com/SpaceBalls_12345_BootAnimation.zip

MD5: 5A4409BDADEF79A5818FF5D87F032C34

Shorter Version (for ROMs that may not play the full version): https://dl.db.com/SpaceBalls_12345_Short.zip

Just out of interest, have you tried any of the ones above? If so, does the timing of the sound to the visuals work? Only reason I ask is that my ROM's developer came out with a new version and it's throwing my boot sound/animation timing off. If the ones above work, then I can build the new BA with the same timing.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_roy1985:
My Note II is not automatically connecting to my home network. Instead, it just tells me there is a network available and I have to manually connect it through the notification. On my Infuse, after first connection there was an option to have it auto connect every time after that, but the Note II apparently does not have an option to turn it on and off. I'm guessing it's just supposed to do it automatically no matter what? I've hit forget and re-entered the password in hopes that would help, but I still the same problem.

This is on a stock phone, btw.

WiFi not auto-connecting (side-question: why would you NOT want to auto-connect?)

This is a huge problem for me as well, both at home and at work. It should be noted that my other devices (mostly iOS) don't have this issue so I'm not entirely convinced it's an issue at the router. If it IS an issue at the router what might it be? Maybe switching to a different channel would help? I'll certainly give it a shot.

I'm about to have a new router at home and will report back if that makes any difference.

(On a side note --> Strangely some of my searches have led to people asking about the opposite - I might be missing something but why would you WANT your WiFi NOT to connect or turn on? With a good connection available, shouldn't everyone want to connect? Saves battery and 4G data. I'm sincerely curious so if you know please do respond to this question as well. Maybe it has to do with privacy or battery life given an unstable connection or something.)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bright.Light:
I got the same problem.

It started when I changed the wifi router (from Fritz!box to PKN Experia V8)

Now many times the device does not connect, but uses cell phone connection (meaning it uses the resources I pay for instead of my 'free' home wifi)

So, anyone who knows the solution, please tell me. I can only use Tasker to try to reconnect automatically, but it should not be needed!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sshanky:
Hi guys,

I've tried searching but have not found the answer. I successfully rooted and loaded AOKP, as well as CM10 and one other ROM. On all of them, I can make calls and use wi-fi, but can't get mobile data. The signal bar shows "3G" and "H+" at times, but never turns blue when wi-fi is off. I've checked http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1976 (t-mobile site) which includes instructions on APN settings for data and picture mail, but that didn't seem to solve the problem. I've also tried turning Airplane Mode on and off, and I've done a factory reset and cleared Dalvik cache for each ROM. The SIM card is about 4 years old, if that matters.

Thanks a lot for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] DiViNEX:
Sounds like the sim card my sim card is less than a year old and randomly my phone doesn't have network and a message comes up and says to clean my simcard because its dirty or corrupt. So I turn my phone off take out the sim wipe it on my pants lol and insert it back in and its fine after that. I would get a new sim and try it out or use a friends sim and see if it works correctly if not then it sounds like the sim port on the phone itself.

I really couldn't figure out if this belongs here but here I go.

So, wanting a better gaming experience and not having a ps3 controller, I decided to get an otg adapter for my Logitech dual action pc controller. I did this because I noticed after playing around with a root explorer, that our phone had a file to support a Logitech controller.

Well, sure enough it worked......with shadow gun. I tried to get it to work with the dark knight rises but no luck. Tried the Joy2touch app to see if I could get my Logitech controller to work with any game, but couldn't get it set up. Might have been user error on my part, but can anyone attest that Joy2touch or some other app can get a random game controller like the Logitech dual action to work?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lovekeiiy:
With your setup, you're going to need games that have native gamepad support, which shadowgun does. Madfingers is pretty good about adding it: their Samuri games don't. Rockstar has it on GTA3: I think GTAVC has it too.

I would see if you can pick up used, and hopefully not abused, PS3 sixaxis controller. You can probably get the non-dual shock version pretty cheap; it has not vibrate function. The Sixaxis Controller app makes it more robust because of being able to map touch controls, which is what profiles are. Not all games are can done profiled such as Dead Space.

Other controllers I've read about it, such as Moga, still need game developers to add support. I know there are other blue tooth controllers, but you'll still looking at the same limitations mentioned above.

Overall, it's just a limit of the game themselves. I would say most mobile game users are not keeping a controller with them. Thus, game developers are designing their games for no gamepad use. Maybe is Ouya and other similar devices prove to be successful beyond being niche, maybe developers will add native game pad support
