[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hot Carl:
Its Easy

Its not hard at all. Once you have the Samsung drivers installed on your computer, you can plug the cable in to the phone and the computer will see it like its a USB drive. I guess it really is if you think about it..

If you go in to the Device Manager in Windows (you are talking about Windows, yes?) and then the USB section, it will list the Samsung drivers. ODIN wont work without them either, so it needs to be done. Run ODIN and plug the phone in and then ODIN will report the phone on a COM port. When you see that you know its working correctly.

I rooted mine using pretty much these same step by step instructions and it worked fine. Just make sure you have everything installed and know where everything is before hand and it will go smoothly for you.

After you root UNLOCK the BOOTLOADER or you will be sorry later. I found out the hard way and had to jump through hoops to get my phone back because I didnt do that. There is an app (EZ UNLOCK) that is a one button solution for this. If you go this route make sure to use v1.2 and not any of the others. Trust me on that too.

This is where I am having trouble. After flashing my recovery and when I enter the recovery mode I have the option to install zip from sd card. The thing is, I do not have an sd card. I installed the zip onto my phone but when I enter recovery mode I cannot find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
It's suppose to be wherever you put that zip at there's a option on twrp if you got that one to switch to external or internal drive
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
You have an internal SD card and that is what the install from SD card option is referring to. The install from SD card ext option refers to your external SD card which you have to buy seperatly.

Hello ... I updated my G2X to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and ever since my battery drains really fast.

it lasts about 4 to 5 hours and it charges really fast like 2 hours

before this update it used to at least last 1 day and charging takes at least 7 to 8 hours

please help .. thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Bulletblitz27:
Known issue already. The Hackfest has an issue where wifi doesn't turn off and drains battery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] O1A2K:
So........ what should I do ????
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
Learn to deal with it (keep charger on you/extra battery) or go back to an older version of Android. If you put your device in Airplane mode it will go to sleep but then you can't send/receive calls/texts of course.

lapdock hack for non moto roms

in 3 easy steps

1: setprop persist.hwc.mirroring.region 0:0:540:960

2: download http://www.mediafire.com/file/3qvatv41t92u330/mirror.zip

copy dssmgr to /system/bin/ and hwcomposer.omap4.so to /system/vendor/lib/hw/

3. reboot, attach lapdock then hdmi and kill and restart dssmgr (otherwise you'll get 640x480 instead of 1366x768)

Enjoy! no warranties, 1366x768 only.
[Motorola Droid 4] kfazz:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/blhonnzxflghb8u/dssmgr

this one shouldn't need to be killed and restarted, but it may reset the display occasionally. ymmv

Edit: http://www.mediafire.com/file/1wy1j2x8rivj3gd/dssmgr(2)

this one fixes teh one minute display resets. but only sets teh resolution once on hdmi detect.
[Motorola Droid 4] crzayalex:
Sorry I don't understand the first step you listed. "1: setprop persist.hwc.mirroring.region 0:0:540:960" what does this part mean?
[Motorola Droid 4] kfazz:
Type that into a root shell. Terminal emulator after running su on phone or via adb shell on pc.
[Motorola Droid 4] crzayalex:
Ohh okay. Thanks kfazz!
[Motorola Droid 4] crzayalex:
Hey kfazz,

Sorry to bother again but right now I plugged my phone into the dock and the dock's screen wont turn on. The mouse shows on the phone's screen and it works just fine. What step am I missing?
[Motorola Droid 4] therussman2002:
Same here.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwood129:
I'm having the same problem as well. Only have the mouse pointer on the phone and still a blank screen on the lapdock.
[Motorola Droid 4] kfazz:
are you guys running dssmgr after you attach the lapdock?

otherwise it wont work.

attach phone to lapdock

open terminal on phone

su

killall dssmgr

/system/bin/dssmgr

then open lid

it should work

it's a pain, but its due to the hdmi event not being debounced properly. jb kernel has a fix for this, so once i stop being lazy i'll probably rewrite this prog.

i do have a rom with lapdock working properly tho:

i think i'll wait for you to rewrite the prog then x)
[Motorola Droid 4] IndiaBhai:
Sorry to necropost, but will this enable all dock support, such as car docks or is this specific to the lapdock? Also should this be able to work on CM10.2? I am planning to try it out tomorrow, just want to see if there are any others who have tried.
[Motorola Droid 4] Khiraji:
I would like to know this as well.
[Motorola Droid 4] IndiaBhai:
Just tried this with my HD dock and could not get it to load into Dock Mode. Have not tested HDMI. :(
[Motorola Droid 4] sm4rty:
I tried it on CM 10.2 but it only bootloops and gives blackscreen. phone wont turn on again.
[Motorola Droid 4] bgoode2006:
Tried on CM 10.1. Got the mouse and keyboard to work but no hdmi
[Motorola Droid 4] fathermocker:
This probably has an easy fix!! I use the lapdock often, only the lack of compatibility with it is keeping me from using CM.

I am attempting to help my friend get as close as we can to the sense-camera on a non sense rom. We will be flashing over to jellybam this evening from pacman. His only complaint has been the camera is nothing like the stock htc camera.

I found a few threads on camera apps, but not having this device makes it a little difficult to test them out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2053239

Will this camera work on non sense roms?

What does everyone else use to solve this?

Thanks in advance!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] luigi311:
It is a sense based camera so it will not work on aosp. Only thing you could do to have the sense and aosp look is to try a desensed Rom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] raclimja:
The problem is not the app. It is the driver that controls the hardware. AOSP/AOKP/ETC do not have the proper drivers for camera because HTC did not release those and its their proprietary.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] gilrad:
Hey guys, according to this thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050380, given the right kernel and hardware setup, you can have a USB hub, mouse, keyboard, and a memory stick all powered off a charger that is also powering the Nexus tablet.

If this is true, then I am going to start working on a TRUE dock, one that would turn the Nexus 7 into a sort of PC.

See the attached image for a rough outline of how things would be setup.

For the body of the dock, I will 3d print it. I'm pretty good at 3d printing, my previous project (Andraxis, a cellphone mount for PS3 controllers) was probably much more difficult than this would be. Like that project, this will be open development where anybody can suggest changes, and eventually buy their own.

So here is what I need from you guys: Suggestions for USB hubs. I need something that is so readily available anybody could buy it, cheap enough they won't mind paying for it on top of what will likely end up being $40+ worth of a 3d printed case and USB cables, and of course, super small.

Let's make this happen guys!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] mrazndead:
this is great. I might model my own dock, and create a prototype with a 3D printer.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bcvictory:
Just use Bluetooth mouse and keyboard? I assume you can use them both at the same time?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] S3tArtist:
Interesting, good luck with the project.

That's likely the kernel I was thinking of, thanks!

As I've researched, this isn't too bad of signal to be getting 1 or 2 bars. Is there any way to recalibrate the signal bar? or is this just a flaw of razr m?

I have only used NFC to connect to my Sony speaker I got for Christmas, along with "NFC easy connect" app, it works fine, but I also tried to share a picture with my wife (sgs3) but it failed and my brother (GN4) failed, only thing I could share from phone to phone was a contact. Perhaps I needed an app to share pictures, but I thought the point of NFC was simplicity :/ not tried it for payments yet, don't think I will anytime soon until it becomes much more reliable!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Arcano:
As far as I know, you need to be using the same app to be able to transfer stuff between phones. The only thing I've been able to share between different programs was a web page (stock browser to dolphin).

But I agree with you that NFC needs to be better standarized to be practical.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hdeglide:
Alright I've searched everywhere and I know there's a cure, but where and how. I've found a few threads with people experiencing my same issues regarding the volume on the verizon samsung galaxy s3 sch 1535. Here's the issue, extremely loud almost echoie and can't find a way to turn it down. Tried every possible option that phone has to offer and can't seem to get this issue under control. I'm currently rooted running superchargedwiz rom kyjelly. Only things I have not tried yet were to disable a few of the audio apps that are installed in this rom, don,t know for sure if they would have anything to do with this issue or not. I know full well there has to be a way to access the root of the phone and possibly make a few volume adjustments, but how. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maurogg84:
Try selecting the default app for sound effects in settings /sounds, if that doesn't work, try uninstalling one of them like musicfx, I like noozxide better. Reboot, and check the sound again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hdeglide:
Alright here goes in playing around with all settings and see about the musicfx, switched back and forth between beats and musicfx, for some reason volume got better. although i just got an error message regarding musicfx. force closed on me and said musicfx suddenly stopped working, quite strange. could it have had something to do with the extreme volume and not being able to adjust it. may also try to download noozxide.
[HTC EVO 3D] joonboi:
i currently have a Shooter, and SuperSonic (EVO 3D & EVO 4G) and i have found a way to get nearly free phone and sms service

this is thanks to the fact that the donor phone (90% of the time is a Sanyo Incognito) is a "dumb" phone and therefore elegible for boost mobile's pay as you go plan.

the secet to get this working is that the PAYG plan has a wireless web add-on which costs $0.50/day. (so 31 days * $0.50 = $15.50/mo)

that takes care of the data. so how do we get calling and texting??

Google Voice & Talkatone!!

google voice provides the number and service, while Talkatone allows you to use it from your phone..

the details to how it works are at Talkatone's website (google it [damn new member rules...]

only things that need to be noted (although noted on website above)

only calls TO continental USA and Canada

CANADA users CANNOT receive calls (YET?)

MMS is only receivable (as e-mail)
[HTC EVO 3D] MistedEvo:
Meh I pay 9.99$ per month for 2500 text messages/2hours calling
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
Honestly, its too much work for what it really is.

You can get a plan for $20 with unlimited talk and text.
[HTC EVO 3D] joonboi:
well the "work" is mainly the flashing part.. the google stuff only takes about 5-10 mins..

And the point is for those on Boost Mobile. maybe other regional carriers have lower/better rates, but Boost only gives unlimited TT&W, for as low as $35 a month.. i get that for $15.5 a month.. less than half price..
[HTC EVO 3D] st7ady:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ionic7:
Why would you knowingly put your phone in a pocket with items that can scratch the screen you kind of deserve it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KillaHurtz:
Just cause something new is released doesn't mean it's not gonna break. The actual breakthru is having slimmer digitizers which brings the content closer to your eyes with less distortion. Assuming something is stronger is not a good enough argument when the screens keep getting thinner and bigger. It's simple physics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EmceeGeek:
*laughs* well the day i put my screen protector on i got angry and threw my phone. im not sure if its a nick on the screen or the protector. shrugs

I used to hate SP's till my screen got scratched. Now it's JLG or Spigen protectors from here on out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] funkeee:
Knowingly is the problem term in your post. People don't knowingly do things that will damage their property. Theres a word I would like to introduce you to: accident.

Do you honestly think anyone knowingly or intentionally drops their phone, or puts their phone in their pocket with keys? Or are you just being a prick?

You need to wear skinny jeans to know which pocket has keys, when the keys are constantly stabbing you in the leg. I wear jeans... normal jeans. My junk can breathe, I can bend over, and I barely feel things in my pockets. The squeeze on your balls must be what gives you the condescending attitude.

There's an entire industry that profits from people doing things "unknowingly" and its called insurance. Im sure you don't have a phone protector, because as you would say: why would you knowingly let your phone land on the ground? If you do that, you deserve it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] seeking:
another way to know which pocket has keys without the need for skinny jeans is to simply remember which pocket you put them in :good:

I gotta agree with the other guy here. There are things called accidents, but there are also things called avoidable accidents. Putting your phone in a pocket with keys is an avoidable accident. Dropping your phone may not have been an avoidable accident; however, placing it inside of a case is a way to avoid the accident of damaging it when it does drop. In your case a screen protector is probably the best way to go so that you can avoid scratching your screen when you "accidentally" forget which pocket has your keys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Illusive Man:
I carried an HTC Sensation with Gorilla Glass for over a year in my pocket with change (no keys) and the screen never got scratched. My wife now has it and carries it in her purse with no screen protector and there are just a few very light scratches on the screen. My impression of Gorilla Glass is that it will survive minor scratching incidents, not drops.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] funkeee:
Its not just about tracking where you put your keys. The glass also gets scratched by zippers going in and out of zippered pockets, and rivets on jeans. I dont need to worry about these things. A screen protector for a few dollars is easy and quick protection without any drawbacks. I got the iSmooth variety and it works perfectly.

My last phone, the htc g2, was impervious to scratches and falls. The phone ride around in the same pocket as keys often. No key could scratch that glass. I had no reason to believe a phone released 2 years later would have such a soft screen. It wasn't until I found small scratches that could catch my nail did I realize what was going on.

There's actually a guide in the international forum to flash any n7100 rom to a N7105 or Carrier version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Dennis_:
Yes any STOCK ROM. Unfortunately our radio chip is different then the 7100's. Our radio chips also uses different audio paths. We need to fix audio from the radio before we can have a daily driver. Madmack, codeninja, and a few others are working on that. AOSP != Samsung TouchWiz. The way the AOSP kernel talks to the ROM != the way stock kernels talk to ROMs.

Note: != means 'does not equal' for those who don't know.
