Do anyone know how to install custom recovery through adb or another method without tripping the flash counter. I was gonna flash recovery with odin but i was looking a different way. I downloaded triangle away to reset the flash counter but how good does that app work on the samsung galaxy s3 on sprint? Thanks

Hi guys,

I use AOKP Jellybean builds and have the latest one. I noticed that my GPS almost never gets a lock anymore, so I'm doing a complete wipe and reflash, but as I was doing this, I came across

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1361393

I downloaded the top modem and I was going to install it but was wondering if there was a specific one that works 'best' for the Orange County / LA area? If I'm understanding this correctly, the right modem would help with GPS lock, or am I completely off here?

Also, when flashing a modem do I just put the zip file on the phone, just like a rom, then install from zip? Or are there special instructions? I did a little bit of searching (or else my question would've been even more vague haha!). Thanks for help in advance!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BuildUpNow:
They seem to work but not as well as JB ones. Notice that I can lock on to satellites with other JB roms much quicker so I had to leave AOKP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
Like which? The AOKP modems for ICS did not work for me, it just said gps signal lost. I'm trying out the one recommended above for orange county, seems ok
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
Bad news, all modems I've tried end up with the "GPS Signal lost" message, if they even grab a signal at all.

Do I have to leave AOKP to fix this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Eternalty:
It's not ROM related. I've run aokp for forever without GPS issues

Recommended ROM for AOKP 4.2.1

I flashed my ROM to AOKP 4.2.1 and my reception seems to be terrible. I suspect it is that the ROM has a different modem. How to I flash back to the modem I had previously? Is it just like flashing the ROM through CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
Problem was solved after putting in a new sim card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mrsaladdressing:
Are you speaking from experience? I do not understand how a sim card would matter. If I need to put in a new sim card, will any arbitrary card from my carrier do or does it need to be a specific to LTE or 4G or some other requirement?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
I was a bit surprised too. At first, I found that reseating my original sim card worked, but then when I reseated again I would lose gps signal quickly. I went to AT&T and asked them to swap the sim just for the heck of it, and sure enough it's worked 2-3 times now, no problem. Could be the way it was seated, who knows
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mrsaladdressing:
reseat sim card

Well, I reseated my sim card, so I will give it a day or so and see if the reception improves. Thanks for the suggestion!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
See how it goes, you should be able to tell right away usually. If you have an AT&T nearby, you could also try swapping it out for another sim
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mrsaladdressing:
There seems to be some improvement - one bar increased reception improvement, which is good. When I can go to an AT&T store I will see if swapping a new sim helps it more. Thanks

:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
Just an update... seems the problem is becoming more frequent again. Maybe something with the phone itself is just wonky?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bascotie:
Another update...

So far I've consistently found that after leaving the house (and whatever network connection I was on), I reboot my phone before running navigation and it has consistently worked without a problem. A little annoying but not too bad, just make sure you're off the original network first, reboot, then put in address for nav.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mrsaladdressing:
I changed to UCLK3 modem and found that the voice performance is better in calls, but the reception levels haven't increased. It seems to be able to do better voice with the same level of reception.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChefJ:
I was wondering if it's possible to create new folders on the SD card from the gallery. Currently, I have my pictures save to my SD card by default. The issue is if I want to take all my recent pictures and put them into a new folder (like "Christmas 2012" or whatever), the gallery creates the new folder on the internal storage and then moves all the selected pictures from the SD card to the phone. Then I have to go through the file manager and move the folder back to the SD card to keep my phone memory available.

Is there a workaround for this, or will using a new gallery app fix it?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frenchbenji:
Use a file explorer and make yourself your new folder in your sd card. Then you will only have to sort all your photos and will save on your sd card

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawxin:
Are any left handers very dis-satisfied with the way the nexus 4 was designed? I was using a Samsung Galaxy S2 before which also had the power button on the right side and volume on left, but with the nexus 4 design i can barely press the power button to turn it on and usually end up hitting the volume buttons. And 4.2 OS is very right hand centrist as well with the the more options button on the top right corner. With the phone slightly larger than my S2, my right thumb usually can't even reach it comfortably that i have to use my right hand to hit the button. Like i said, I was fine with the S2 and my previous Samsung Transformer, but I'm just not liking 4.2 and the phone itself.

Also, with 4.2 I can't swype a website and end with .com because the .com ends up spaced after the domain name. The swype ends up being lajollamusic .com which is an issue. On the nexus 7, there's a ".com" button I can press, but not on the nexus 4 =(

Ultimately, am I the only left hander that is having trouble with the nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtacular:
Being left handed myself, the only thing that bothers me is usually the settings key or whatever it might be called in the top right corner (it's usually 3 square boxes stacked on top of one another). I don't much care for that. I don't have problems myself with the power button because my left index finger reaches it with no problem. Another thing that can be a problem is when your in landscape mode and the navigation bar is on the right side of the screen. I wouldn't mind being able to have the option to switch it to the left side. Also the default keyboard isn't swype. For the most part it performs somewhat like swype, but it's not swype that's why the problems with the .com. I have the same problem with it. You should be able to download swype from swype.com and install it. You might have to register on the site to be able to get it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jawxin:
Thanks for the confirmation. Yes I have issues reaching the 3 square boxes button. And i agree with the landscape mode, which the S2 didn't have because I can swing it to the left side. For swyping, I wasn't necessarily referring to Samsung's patented version, but google's version of it. I want to support google and try to use the function, but inputting websites ending in .com is such a pain. I may as well just type it out instead >.>
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtacular:
You have to do what makes you more comfortable. If not liking a function on the default keyboard is making you not like the device then fix it and download swype. I actually just did install it on my phone after I replied here. I like being able to select different themes for the keyboard, which is another plus for swype. I myself like Samsung and will still support them. It's the apple trash I won't support.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
It's a massive device that has to pick whether to be comfortable for either right handers or left handers, and right handers hold the majority
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awtacular:
The phone is not that massive and the actual developer should be able to make options to mirror interfaces and actual buttons via settings. If some of the "independent" developers on here and other places can figure out ways to manipulate the device to work in such ways you would think the actual designers/developers of the phone would implement the features themselves. I'm not saying in any way the Nexus 4 is flawed because this problem applies to almost every phone. There should be a way to mirror controls either via soft keys or hard button.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
I'm also left handed, but it doesn't bother me much. I will say this though, I've found that when swiping on the keyboard I get a lot less errors when I use the phone right handed, especially swiping "p" words.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hung0702:
I'm a right handed person, but have always used Android phones with my left hand. I feel like they are left hand favored, but not intentionally.

I didn't consciously decide that my left hand was better for navigation and general use, but over the years, my usage seemed better with my left hand and I gradually became a left hand user.

The only time I'll use my right hand is if I'm laying on my right side.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incognitum:
I just moved from the original atrix, which had a center power button, and left side volume rocker, and yes. The nexus 4 is keeping the southpaw down. I went on a hike yesterday, and realized I couldn't take a landscape photo with my girlfriend because the shutter button slides to the right side no matter how you turn the phone. Same thing with the nav bar, though usually the only reason to turn the phone landscape is if I'm using it with both hands, so not a big deal there. But yes, also the phone is now too big to hit the new menu button with my thumb without my palm pressing the lower left part of the screen... I bought the nexus for a pure Google Android experience, but I'm definitely ditching stock for cyanogenmod.
[Hardware Hacking General] iytrix:
Firstly, this disclaimer is for the unintelligent

I DO NOT KNOW HOW LEGITIMATE THIS WEBSITE IS, DO NOT THINK I AM PROMOTING IT

Anyways, how are phones like these, does anyone know better sites?

http://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/sea...tory=&searchkey=android+phone&catalog=#search

I assume these are just chinese knockoff phones. Most seem to model off the s3 but....how are the phones? If there specs don't lie, they seem like very nice pieces of tech for the price! I have my anciet evo 4g because I misplaced my s2 and don't want to pay $600 for a new phone.

If these phones are indeed half way decent, what do I need to look for to obtain a phone compatible with sprint? From what I see nothing advertises wimax, which, I would be slightly sad to lose, but if everything else works on these things just find, I won't mind losing the wimax.

If this topic has been covered, or you have a simple link to address, please just post the link and don't tell me to look harder. I have looked and nothing seemed to fit for a good answer.

Thank you for the help!
[Hardware Hacking General] iytrix:
Well, I have found this phone so far

http://android-sale.com/star-lt29i-4-5-inch-qhd-1ghz-dual-core-mt6577-5mp-camera-android-phone.html

and it looks like it's the best from what I've poked around....Would this work with Sprint? I will go in there soon and ask their policy on these kinds of phones. It says it supports WCDMA, and I think sprint uses CDMA, and I have no idea how the two related and the internet doesn't seem to help on informing me if sprint could use the device.

Lastly, where would I go for help/tools to root and ROM the device?I assume something like superone click may work, but if I do end up getting one of these phones, I'll ask more about rooting and whatnot in the android section.
[Hardware Hacking General] Pennycake:
Personally, I think they're poor value even if you but one from a maker who isn't lying about the hardware specs.

You're almost certainly not going to be getting any kind of custom development - the sources are most likely not even there to work from and the devices aren't popular enough for it to happen.

You can get something similar when buying a legitimate phone that's popular overseas - development is possible there, but you'd have to look into it.

The lack of support and potential to get something other than puts me off buying such a device - you know how you can buy an SD card that says "32Gb" on it and it's only like 5Mb or whatever ? Think about that - your phone might say it has 32Gb internal memory but you might really have 2Gb or less and you might get 254 or 512 RAM. You might be able to root, might not.

As for network compatibility, just look up what bands Sprint uses, compare, and hope the information is correct.

You might find a "good" clone with good reviews, but you lose the "value" that is development and support. What is that worth in dollars ?

Personally, I'd rather just get a used S2 or something. You can get a used S3 for $400-ish if you're lucky, S2 is $200-ish, I think. I'd go for something like that - something that was popular and had good development and support in its day and likely continues to have some even now. I can't put a cash value on that.
[Hardware Hacking General] iytrix:
Do you have any suggestions on a good place to get a used s2? Actually, i may get my old s2 back soon.... Which would be lovely and solve my issues. I am curious though. Maybe later this year I will check some of the knockoff phones, just to test them and review them. I see your point, and it was my concern as well. I've always disliked phone companies and their support, and I assumed I could easily get some working rom and root, but tinkering with experimental builds for daily use is enough risk for me already. Adding a phone with a possibility to fail on me at any moment, probably isn't a good idea. These devices have too little real info sadly
[Hardware Hacking General] Pennycake:
The thing is, even if Samsung isn't giving updates, they've still released enough of their source for people to work with to develop custom ROMs. The companies that sell the clone phones and such don't do this, so making a custom ROM isn't possible. Developers tend to like to either work on projects for their own devices, or ones that will get a large audience for their work, so even if there was material to work from, these wouldn't be very attractive targets for development. Most US phone customers still get their phones from their service providers, for better or worse.

Anyway - eBay, Craigslist, or one of hose sites for specifically selling mobile devices. I think you said you're with Sprint? You have to make sure the ESN is good in that case, is the biggest concern. I've never had to do this since I'm with T-Mobile (uses SIM cards, not ESN), but I'm sure there's advice out there on how to avoid being scammed.

[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
MIUI is an Android ROM, just like any other ROM. It looks much different from most other ROMs (it's not Sense or AOSP), but underneath it's Android just like everyone else.

Miui reminds me of iOS but better. All your apps are on you home screens. You can't delete anything from your home screens you can throw things you don't use in to folders. Miui gets updated once a week if I remember correctly. The devs for Miui are very talented. Miui isn't a bad ROM by any means. It just reminded me to much of iOS.

With HTC's Financial Situation, I would say this is not likely. Its like the Desire HD (DHD ^__^ Sounds So Stargate Like), Where they tested the waters and deemed it wasnt powerful enough to run it, even though the community proved it wrong. Entry level devices will receive very poor support from manufacturers.
