It worked! Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frustration:
The phone only turns on a few times, but when it does, it gets past the startup screen, then once I put in the password, it shuts off after 10 seconds or so! It's not a battery issue as I've tried a new battery but to no avail. So I assume it's perhaps a wiring issue..

I went to the Samsung repairing center in Montreal and the receptionist took one look at my phone, and said "Okay we'll need to repair the entire phone with new parts or give you a new phone but we can't save your contacts, pictures, or videos as they will be deleted"

I was in shocked. First of all, the phone DOES turn on. When I connect it to my laptop, now and then, the phone will display the charging screen! I'd back up my phone to my laptop, but my laptop is ridiculous and doesn't recognize my Samsung products. This has nothing to do with the memory and internal SD card so why else should that be formatted and replaced aside from the obvious money issue. The receptionist is not even a technician, but if I gave the phone to her to be repaired, she'd have told the technicians in the back to get rid of everything.

Is there any way I can save this phone? And if not, is there any way I can save my contacts, videos, pictures and music from memory/internal SD?

Not sure about the technical stuff ,but u can easly backup every thing if u have a custome rom(u did not said anything about your rom)..if u have a problem with your usb connection..uninstall the old drivers and download the one in this forum.and try again.contact should have been saved in your google account .if so ,you will be able to get them back easily...

Hope i helped u..:)

I don't have a custom rom. I have whichever rom came with my phone...

Hey guys here's the modded services.jar file that I made for our mmx a110. Replacing the services.jar file in your phablets with this one will enable tablet mode on the mmx a110. The tablet mode is enabled when u change the dpi to 128. So in case you want to revert back to stock(mobile) UI the you just need to change the dpi back to 240. You can also include this mod I your rooms if you like, by don't frgt to mention the creator. If you like my work, then please click the thanks button.

Here's the file :

http://db.tt/4OAEgQIC

Edit: As you may have noticed after applying this mod. Apps have very small text. And also some apps that we'd prefer to have in phone UI are also using tab UI. There's a app to solve this. But it seems to keep force closing. It would be really great if some developers could help in getting this app to work.

Here's the link to the files:

[Micromax A110] marcopolo:
Thanks (already hit the Thanks button :P) for this mode, I must say good work.

Though I have not tried it yet but I still got couple of questions.

1) I guess Android does not support DPI less then 138 hence have set bare-minimum DPI as 160 for any of the devices. You are asking for 128 which may lead to crashing the apps and probably, the system itself.

2) I have been using custom DPI for a long time, this time I am using 190 since it's somewhat a middle between 160~240, will the Tablet mode work if I keep using it with 190 DPI?

3) You have mentioned, if anybody want's to go back to STOCK mode, they just have to go back to 240. Can 190 work, what is the maximum DPI which can make the TABLET mode work? Going 128 will do no good but harm in terms of very tiny TEXT and FCs.
[Micromax A110] Jrmr2468:
Don't worry 128 won't cause any system fail.

I agree text will be small but u can increase text size in display and accessibility settings.

If 190 has worked before, it will even work after flashing this file.although I can confirm that 160 "may" crash systemui.

Still maximum dpi to enable tablet mode is 128.

Can you upload a flash able zip because when I try to replace services.jar with adb or root explorer ..my phone stops responding..& when I change the density..the systemui starts force closing..I think it can be fixed by disabling compability mode through spare part's..which can be downloaded from play store..can u make a flashale..with modded build.prop & services.jar with fixed permissions..

[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aliktren:
Hi Folks

I am not entirely a noober having managed to sucessfully put Android on my HP Touchpad, but I am getting very frustrated now with my Legend

I need to keep the legend as work want to try and get me to justify a new phone as it's running Froyo, and frankly I dont want to get rid of it because it does very well at what I need it to do which is being a phone and not running out of batteries every 5 mins unlike the crap phones work usually provide....anywhoo.

I have followed all the directions numerous times trying to figure out what's up but I am stuck.

I have a UK Legend on Vodafone, Its is running Froyo 2.2

Kernel Version 2.6.32.17

build number 3.14.161.1

I have, I believe, unlocked it at the HTC with the bootloader, this appeared to work correctly

I then ran HTC supertools 1 and 3. 1 appears to work, 3 says rooted but on restarting the phone I have no super user icon. i ran this several times, always the same

. When I run htools boot loader it says :

locked oow

legend pvt ship s-on

When I try and install clockworkmod basically I get :

adb step works and I get the boot loader on the phone

next step starts and stops with "Failed Remote signature verify fail" (I have have redownloaded 6 times)

If I try it the other way and put the zip on the sd card I get a red exclamation mark on the phone and have to remove the battery

any suggestions, links, welcome, I will be gutted if I have to give up the phone.

Wait for a blue menu list at the top of the screen. Then select update.zip.

Then you can see the ClockworkMod Recovery menu.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Jaken326:
Hi everyone!

I am about to buy a new phone and I have decided to wait no longer (especially with the Christmas sales) and I am choosing between the Lumia 920 and the Galaxy S3. I am unsure which one to choose as each one has different benefits. My specific needs (above using at as a phone) include medium/heavy gaming, music, occasional video marathons (on planes etc.) and web browsing.

The Galaxy S3:

More powerful graphics processor (Mali400MP>Adreno 225)

Better battery life (especially with upgrades)

Google Play (Many games are not available on WP8, which matters a lot to me, especially emulators)

Better Storage (Micro SD Card Slot + 16GB > 32GB)

The Lumia 920:

More recent, less 'outdated' (Lumia 920 will be flagship for longer in WP8)

Windows Phone 8 (I tried it in the store and loved the interface)

Better camera and Build Quality

From my research currently the Google Play is far more populated than Windows Phone and has far more full featured games and apps although Windows defiantly can improve. Furthermore, the Galaxy S3 is no longer going to be the 'big samsung flagship' anymore and with Exynos 5 games may no longer be optimized for it / have to run at lower settings whereas the 920, although it has a worse GPU, will be the flagship for longer and new games will be optimized (although these games will mainly be catchup to Google Play).

Please help me I don't know which one to choose!

Thank you for reading!

Edit: Added another bonus to the Galaxy S3
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
In US and Canada, Galaxy S3s with LTE have the exact same CPU/GPU as Lumia 920. The Samsung Exynos quad core processor is only used in countries where no LTE is supported. So, the so called GPU advantage really depends on where you are. On top of that, most Android games are not really optimize for the Mali GPU. So the advantage won't help you much there. Same goes for the UI experience on Android. Even with the quad core processor, the Android home screen UI will still lag behind the single core Windows Phone 7 home screen, not to mention the WP8 with dual cores

Specs alone doesn't tell any story of real world experience.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Jaken326:
Well I live in the UK and will most certainly be buying neither on 4G so I will be getting the Exynos 4 quad. From what I have seen on the web and from my friends it seems that most games are optimized (run smoothly and with good graphics) for exynos (look at Nova 3/Asphalt 7/Need for Speed MW compared to Tegra 3 or even the Lumia 920s own Adreno 225 running in an android phone for example) so I would say that the Mali 400MP is a bonus to the Galaxy S3 considering gaming is a large part of why I want a good phone in the first place.

I definitely prefer the 920s User Interface and smoothness over the Galaxy S3 however, its just that it has a better GPU and far better App/Game selection.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
Well from that reasoning, I'm not sure why you don't pick iPhone. Its GPU is way faster than anything out there (see here http://www.anandtech.com/show/6330/the-iphone-5-review/11) and its app collection and games are certainly surpassing Android.

I use both WP and Android phones. I can tell you that the only advantages android has is paper specs.

You are picking phone from the wrong aspect. You need pick an eco system first, then compare the spec within that eco system.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Jaken326:
I don't like the smaller screen of the iPhone and personally I don't like iOS so that is out of the question (it is also a lot more expensive in the UK).

Why I am comparing spec between 2 Operating Systems is that either way, Mali 400 would allow for more graphically demanding games as it is more powerful.

At this point I'll probably choose the GS3 mainly for the app store.

Thankyou for your trouble though.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Dr.Molestratus:
Due to the fact most websites uses a white background, the GS3's OLED display will consume a great amount of battery.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Jaken326:
This is true for web browsing but for general use on non white backgrounds (general use) OLED consumes less battery than LCD. From what I have read online is that in general use the Galaxy S3 has better batter life (GSMarena even rates the GS3s web browsing as an hour higher, although the Lumia 920 will have a brighter screen at the 50% at which they conduct their tests).
[Nokia Lumia 920] farhadtarapore:
My lumia 920 battery lasts me for about 2 days with moderate usage. With heavy usage it lasts for a day (same as my HTC Incredible S). After using SGS3 and Lumia920, I'd say that the Lumia provides for a much more fluidic experience than SGS3. The camera is simply superb. And it is built like a tank.

I don't mind the fledgling ecosystem of WP8, it will take time to catch up. But whatever apps I need for my daily use (like Endomondo or Evernote, etc.) are present in the WP8 market.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Jaken326:
Now I am not sure what to get. It basically boils down to, at the basic level, app store (GS3) vs user interface (Lumia 920)
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
You just have to play with them yourself to make a judgement. There is no universally accepted answers to this question. Everyone has different prorities.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Jaken326:
I guess this is what is the right thing. I will probably go with the GS3 because I am sure to have all the apps/games I want and also it is quite a bit cheaper.

Thankyou!
[Nokia Lumia 920] ratibars:
That's a good decision as apps/games are more important for you.
[Nokia Lumia 920] duncan_donut:
You can have a Windows style Tile interface on Android. There are many launchers available and someone has made a windows phone style one. Android is about choice. If you don't want to have to make choices buy windows. If you want choices, don't buy windows. The lumia is a lovely handset. But let's be honest, all the debate about handsets feeling nice in the hand is pointless when people put their expensive handset in a case.
[Nokia Lumia 920] noremacyug:
battery life on my gs3 is not stellar. my old atrix 4g that I let my wife have still has better battery life than the gs3. its decent and generally gets me through my work day, but moderate usage will generally require me to plug in. fixing to ditch the gs3 and go for the 920 and give the w8 ecosystem a try for a while. just upgraded to w8 and picked up a new 360 slim..... so i'll see how it goes.
[Nokia Lumia 920] gilesjuk:
At the end of the day both have phone and messaging and a web browser. Apps are typically shortcuts to web counterparts, with the exception of games.

If you value having the latest OS then the Nexus 4 is the best option, but sadly Google seem to think it is 2007 and that 8GB is enough.
[Nokia Lumia 920] peter56:
I went from a S11 to the 920. Love it, a great phone!

It reminds me of when I first bought the S11 almost two years ago, everyone said that the app store was empty compared to Apple, that the apps were rubbish that were there, etc.

The Windows store does not have as many apps at the moment, but I am not missing any apps from my Android, you get Office and the Nokia maps and apps are great, don't miss Google one bit.

BUT I don't play games on my phone, so cannot help you there.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Kuturgan:
Some comments kill me

Your comment is so biased. You know nothing about Windowsphne 8 OS. How hell you can talk about Lumia 920 if you never hold it in your arms?

I had Galaxy S3, sold it the third day and got Lumia 920. And I'm totally happy because Lumia is so beautiful to touch, to feel, to watch and to use comparing to Galaxy S3. Samsung is so cheap, made of cheap plastic and doesn't really feel solid at all. Nokia is a way better device overall. Speaking about Windowsphone market. You can find most needed apps on it. As for games, I really don't care because I don't play a lot. So Lumia 920 satisfies totally my needs. And it is so classy and prestigious in hands. It is my best phone I have ever had so far!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Droid-o-matic:
My personal preference, as an Android user since it was introduced is now the wp8 OS. I like the interface more than I miss the wider breadth of apps. Selling my HTC One X and keeping the Lumia 920. After about 4 days of use there was no doubt in my mind. 5 weeks later I'm confident enough that I am sharing this opinion with you now.

Both are great units and OS's. You really can't go bad either way. It's just which way will be "gooder" for you? :) (I'm kidding with the "gooder" of course)
[Nokia Lumia 920] acruxksa:
I wouldn't put too much stock in battery life. I've had an SG3 i9300 for 3 months now and my wifes had here Lumia 920 for about a month. One may have better battery life than the other, but both last more than a day for us. If pushed my i9300 might have slightly better battery life, but my wifes i9300 has LTE. Again, both phones easily last the day (0600 to 2200) with plenty of battery to spare (probably over 30%)

In my opinion, if games are important to you, then you would be happier with the i9300 SGS3, However if you are an Xbox 360 gamer as well, you might be quite happy with the Lumia 920. At least that's what my son tells me. He received a Lumia 920 for christmas and likes it because it allows him to earn achievements. He also tells me smart glass is pretty cool but I think that's an option on the SGS3 as well.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Benz-Driver:
Still not sure about what device to choose?

:D
[Nokia Lumia 920] acruxksa:
uhmmmmm, ya I call BS.

My sons Lumia 920 dropped 18" from a coffee table onto a tile floor and the glass completely shattered. Cost nearly $200 and a week to get the screen and lcd replaced. Phone still worked with the broken screen but they apparently have to replace both at the same time.

It "might" be tougher than an SG3 but don't believe for one second the screen isn't going to shatter if you drop it and it lands on the glass.

Also, in the video it looks more like the baseball hit the arm the lumia 920 was attached to and knocked it off rather than hitting the lumia 920 directly. Notice how the baseball comes directly at the camera on the SGS3, but appears to come off to the side/below the Lumia 920 camera?
[Nokia Lumia 920] stead:
I have to say after using the nexus 4, (isn't that supposed to be the best android experiance?) I can't belive how slow and unresponsive the os is, maybe after using wp 7 for a year then getting a wp8 phone my experiance is tainted...but if you've never used a phone which is smoother you won't notice the difference! like when you have a car with electric mirrors, you don't really appricate it until you go back to one with a manual adjuster.

Never used a s3 so can't fairly compare it, but i've used an s2 and the galaxy note, personally I was not impressed at all, although I was jealous as they did have hill climb on them :o
[Nokia Lumia 920] acruxksa:
No offense, but your sounding like a "fanboy" I''m not saying that android is faster/slower than WP8. I've got both an SG3 and a Lumia 920 in my hand right now and in terms of responsiveness, I'd call them equal.

Just pick the phone that suits your need. WP8 is pretty sweet and has a lot going for it, but it's not going to be for everyone.

ps, the crap pic was taken by an HTC HD7S with WP7.8 ;) Could have taken a much better picture but why? Both phones are fast, just wanted to show that I've used both and have both on hand.
[Nokia Lumia 920] saltmine:
I have a Nexus 4, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2, and Lumia 920. The Lumia is not noticeably faster in any way that I can notice. I think people are confusing the longer transitions, such as when you select an option on the 920, with actual speed improvement.
[Nokia Lumia 920] ragingclue:
Not sure about the N4 being the smoothest. I know the Note II has been by far the smoothest I've seen and experienced. And that's pretty good especially considering it was buttery smooth with TW running.... Android has come a long way and I think if the Note II is any indicator, we will be seeing more devices like this. My SGS3 wasn't quite as smooth and responsive, but it definitely was no Craptivate.

One of the main things I've noticed that adds or detracts from the WP* experience more than anything else is figuring out which app to use for what (let me be clear though, I don't see this as an inconvenience or detraction, but I know others do). You've got to do your due diligence and dig around, read reviews, read forums, tinker, etc... to figure out which apps to use for what and which would suit you best. For the most part, they're out there, but they're not as BAM obvious when you visit the store. It takes more effort on the consumer level to figure out what to download and install. But I've found there's almost always been a suitable app for each of my app-related needs after searching forums and using Google. Of course, there's always been the barrier with WP7.* that the CE-based OS made certain apps almost useless because of their intended functionality, but WP* seems to be better about that and hopefully we'll be seeing more polished apps that take full advantage of that and the new not-crap resolution.

Of course, I'm not saying the WP store has an app for everything that Apple and Android do, but a vast majority of the functionality of those phones can be aped in WP. Some of the apps do need some work to be polished or take advantage of the new kernel and OS, but for the most part they're there and they do a good job.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tameracingdriver:
I currently own both a Nexus 4 and a Galaxy Note II, and my GF has the SGS3 and I've owned a Lumia 920 for 2 weeks.

I'm sorry, but if anyone is saying the Nexus 4 isn't smooth, then it has some kind of issue. It IS the smoothest Android device around, period. FACT. My Nexus 4 runs more smoothly with a Live Wallpaper than my Note II does with a static one. It IS noticeable. At the end of the day though, the base ROM for a Nexus 4 is, what, maybe 200 Mb. The base ROM for a Galaxy Note 2 is 1 Gb. That is one hell of a lot of bloat to have to deal with.

Now, there are a number of applications which are poorly coded or not optimised for Jelly Bean, and these can be stuttery at times on scrolling; I'm not trying to say the Nexus 4 is completely lag free, but it is by FAR the best Android experience to date.

That said, the Lumia 920 is not completely lag free either, sometimes on menus (like when the camera is on, for example) you can see the frame rate drop on the transitions. And in actual performance (loading times etc) I'd say the Quad Core Android stuff is still ahead.

Day to day though, I'd say the 920 and Nexus 4 were about on par for smoothness, although the latter is more snappy, and feels faster. The Lumia is doing the old iPhone trick of displaying a fancy animation to mask the fact its loading something. It works, and it looks smooth and fluid, but faster it is not.

The Note 2 and SGS3 both lag behind either device for outright smoothness. Both exhibit choppiness and stuttering animations on a regular basis. They are not bad devices by any means, but they are slower by virtue of being loaded with bloatware (TouchWiz). The UI I also find very ugly, and inconsistent.

Back to the OP, and its a no-brainer, for games, get an Android over WP8. No comparison. None whatsoever. iPhone / iPad better still... but the cost is prohibitive to many and many also don't like iOS.
