Google Calendar Sync, the free app to move Outlook to Google Calendar has been discontinued.

Google Sync to devices will apparently be ended at the end of January. According to the announcement, existing devices will continue to work, but you will not be able to set up Google Sync to new devices. Google is supporting CalDAV and CardDAV sync for the future. CalDAV is supported by iOS devices 5 and higher, Android Jellybean and higher devices. The status of Google Sync to prior Android devices is not clear from the announcment.

There are third party tools that handle all the above. CompanionLink has offered an Outlook to Google sync for $14.95.

Since you don't really use Google, you may want to go from PC direct to phone. The advantage here is that Outlook Tasks, Notes and Journal, which Google Sync never supported, are supported by most 3rd party apps.

For older Android phones, if Google does indeed "cut the cord" there are CalDAV and CardDAV apps in the app store. I haven't tried them though.

Lots of people find Touchwiz horrible
[Nexus 4 General] Nexus-S:
Touch wiz is more comparable to iOS than stock android is I would say. Plus, all of the must have apps that he mentions are also available on the S3.

As a new iPhone 5 owner, I actually agree with him - Jellybean is the best mobile OS - but the difference between the S3 and Nexus 4 is negligible, in my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
I can't stand touchwiz. The core android functionally is there on the S3, but I can see why he likes the N4. Simple is beautiful.
[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
You should post this article on some iPhone forum, and not on a Nexus 4 forum. There you might be able to convert some people. We know that the Nexus 4 is streets ahead.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
The only difference between s3 and nexus is come may and we will be rocking key lime Poe and S3 users will have to wait for 3-4 months for it.. By Dec we will have another update for us where as s3 users won't know if they'll get it or not since s4 would be release by then.

I'm not sure if there's already a thread for this but I've been searching high and low just to get the entire list of exclusive apps for the 920 as not all are showing up on my Nokia collection here in Canada and its sad because I've been able to find some and install from direct links to it but wondering why its not showing up even if I actually search for it at the marketplace whether from the website or from the phone itself.

So, I was doing some reading around a few of the majors posts and realized that I should probably update my modem. I'm running an older version of CM10 nightly (11-14, really stable and hesitant to upgrade to CM10.1 due to a few issues it still has). The modem I have is still the Out-of-Box modem that came with the phone. If I update to UVLJA per the modems post, is there anything else I need to do other than flash the modem? What are the benefits of updating the modem?

Thanks

Just flash and reboot. I've done a few and find the latest to be best for me with signal in places I usually didn't get a signal. Although it might have a negative effect also. It depends on where you are located, what buildings you are in and so forth.

You can safely update to CM10 12/16. That's the last CM10 nightly. I ran that build for weeks and never had a problem.

Some people including myself experienced issues with that nightly, I had reboots with it and calls having delay issues (it would ring but I could not answer it until after the 3rd or so ring)... besides he isn't asking which is the latest nightly he should use.

Unfortunately the N7100 does not support tmobile's 1700 Mhz AWS bands, the N7100 operates on the 1900 UMTS band in the U.S for tmobile for 3g.

I just got this phone and having got used to a Nexus phone before (and before that always having used custom roms such as cyanogen) I cannot stand the TouchWiz (or whatever it is) rubbish that Samsung clog their phone up with. It really spoils the device in my opinion. The standard Jelly Bean software is much cleaner.

So, what is the best way to remove it and get back to a nice clean phone?

I'm happy to root & install a rom if necessary.

Is something like this the way to go: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2052739 ? Or do I need to wait for Cyanogen to support it?

Cheers!

It can be removed but must have rooted phone, wouldn't recommend though.If you do remove make sure you have a alternative like Apex or Nova launcher installed first, plenty of themes to use with them. Hope that helps you.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjalandpirate:
From my experience, like you coming from a classic android experience even Motorola didn't go this far. The phone is still very young and possibly due to its bigger brother may not receive as much attention. So although there sent many try a custom rom,.

I'd avoid stripping or freezing out the bloat. Although you may be fine for a while you may brick, and if you can't get it into DL mode your fried.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikufellow:
Wait for aosp or cm Roms to come up - its the best way . As you probably know remove the touchwiz apk won't give you any vanilla experience ! And while you wait try other launchers if you want to break out of touchwiz

I own a sgn 10.1 and a 32gb microsd card class 10. I got the sd card from ebay.

When i got it through the post i copied my videos and then inserted it in my sgn and when i clicked play it said the video was 0.00 long but it was 1 and a half hrs long !?!

Also it still saids it 140mb big however when i try to play it on my pc from my sd card adapter it is also on 0.00 long but when i play it from the original file it plays fine?!?

Does something happen when i transfer it over ?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
You bought it from ebay.... You may have bought a "32Gb" sd card but in reality it is only 2Gb... This is a major problem from buying sd cards off ebay.

The seller adds a script to the sd card to report its bigger than it really is, this will be reported by any device you put it in.

2Gb cards are super cheap so you sell a few and by the time the complaints come rolling in you have closed your account and opened up a new one to run the same con...

Unfortunately for the sap that bought it, after you write to the 2Gb it will continue to fill the sd card, unfortunately it is in reality just corrupting and deleting data. That 1 1/2 movie really has no information stored on the card except the header....

If you buy sd cards off ebay make sure the seller has been a member for a few years. If its really cheap and the seller has only just opened up shop, avoid them like the plague....

Yep, those cards that are tampered with are useless as they will always return the wrong amount of space available. Once you go over whats available you get data corruption. Look at the packaging. See if the stated size is actually a sticker stuck over the true value. I have seen that before - 32Gb stuck over a 4Gb card....

Hello all,

Today I noticed that my DNA only has roughly 1.5GB of internal storage left on the phone. Going to Settings>Storage, I see that my phone currently has 10.64GB of data under the section 'other'.

For the life of me, I cannot find out where these 10.6GBs are hiding. Plugging my phone into my computer, I am not able to find any folder that is using up that much space. I was not able to run a program like WinDirStat (a disk usage statistics program which identifies where most of your storage is being used up) on the phone because Windows doesn't see it as an external storage, but as an external device. I then went into Windows Explorer, unhid all folders, and copied them to my computer. Even when copying it over, it only moved over roughly 4GBs, which is what my apps/music/pics/vids were using up.

I don't have many downloaded apps, and most of them are productivity related (ie - very few games on the phone). I am at a complete loss and just short of simply resetting the phone.

Some helpful data:

Apps: 1.51 GB

Music: 2.64MB

Photos & Video: 2.4GB

Other: 10.65GB

Available: 1.44GB

I have used this charger for my other phone and was wondering if it would be okay for the Nexus 4

http://www.amazon.com/DigiPower-JS-Dual-Smartphones-Blackberry-Portable/dp/B001DDLU1Q

It has output voltage DC of 5.3V, 500mA

The original Nexus 4 charger has output voltage is DC 5V, 1.2A.

Would it be dangerous or damaging to the Nexus 4 if I use the non-original charger?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhairplane:
It shouldn't be damaging. Most all phones today have built in trip wires that allow them to charge up to a certain voltage. If it goes over, then the phone will charge slower. Though, it will overtime degrade battery performance, but not in a most noticeable amount.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (US Wifi+IR) P3113 [ROM Build Number: IMM76D.P3113UEBLH2] which is still 100% stock. I plan on installing a custom rom, but first I want to make a complete backup of everything.

I know I need to use a custom recovery (I plan on using ClockworkMod) and flash the custom rom. I don't have any problems with that part.

I also have all of my data already backed up. I plan on doing a full factory reset before installing anything anyway.

My main issue is that I want to backup the original stock ROM and all other partitions/images before making any permanent changes.

Since the device doesn't support fastboot I can't just "fastboot boot cwm-recovery.img" to do a temporary boot to backup the stock rom and recovery. All the instructions I've seen indicate I must first flash a new recovery image then boot the device from that. This would cause me to not have a backup of the stock recovery image.

I didn't see any backup options in Heimdall or ODIN either. No luck with Check Fus either.

Is there a way to backup the stock recovery image without flashing anything to the device first?

I have looked at sammobile at the P3113 firmwares, but I can't be sure those apply to my version (US WiFi + *IR blaster*) or would have the stock recovery image. Samsung Kies doesn't seem to have any updates or downloadable firmware for my tablet (it still has the ROM it came with out of the box) that I could extract the stock recovery for my P3113 (US WiFi+IR) from either.

I'd like a backup of everything so I could revert to 100% stock if needed. I also want to be sure I have the original recovery image and not some other version from a "stock rom" downloaded from the Internet.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmega:

This is exactly what I have been trying to do too. I have searched the forums and google and haven't been able to figure out how to do this either. I was actually fixing to post the same questions myself and thought I should do one last search before I did, which lead me to this thread :)

I have the same tab and build (P3113 - ROM Build Number: IMM76D.P3113UEBLH2). As an android newbie I have been reading/researching for hours a day since Christmas and there is still a lot I don't understand. This is the first step I would like to take though and I intend on doing a full factory reset before installing anything too.

Can anyone help us with this please?

A. Want to backup the original stock ROM and all other partitions/images before making any permanent changes. Would like a backup of everything so I can revert to 100% stock.

B. For the same reasons as the OP, I also want to be sure I have the original recovery image and not some other version from a "stock rom" downloaded from the Internet.

I am happy to show proper appreciation for anyone who can help and once I get things sorted out and figured out I am willing to help others too. Thank you in advance :)

Backup

Howdy

You should find and download the stock rom for your device on the net. I myself do not recommend you to install custom rom as it can brick ur device.

For the backup:-

1. For the backup of your apps download this app (App Backup and Restore) from the play store. It can backup ur apps and then can also restore them back but also dont forget to take the backup of this app itself.

2. Connect your tablet/phone to your pc/laptop and then copy all the files in your SD card and Device and store them to seperate folders on your pc/laptop.

3. Now the backup of all your files is created.

According to my information you cannot backup your current rom you will have to download the stock rom from the net which you need and then fla**** in case of a mishappening or incase you wish to revert back.

Best of luck Happy flashing and a happy new year.:)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbeede:
@kunalthakur - There isn't an official Samsung download source that one can use. Most of the other downloads I've seen have had the recovery.img modified to enable the backup in the first place. We want a trustworthy (verified no malicious software added) stock OEM rom/recovery with no modifications.

I have had some initial success getting the Samsung Kies software to attempt to download the current official ROM from official Samsung servers. I guess Samsung wants people to only download via Kies instead of offering it on their website to reduce the load on their servers and prevent end-users from flashing the wrong ROM because they didn't know what they were doing.

I will update if I have success getting a clean download.
