Maybe old school thinking but, aren't magnets harmful to most electronics?

Sent from my GS3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmagas1:
They are using different kind of technology that doesn't create strong magnetic field. Each holder has 4 tiny magnets.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] bagpuss0001:
I've been using these magnet mounts in my car for a couple years. They have worked great on:

HTC Wildfire

Optimus 2X

Galaxy S3

Navigon SATNAV (much heavier than a smartphone)

Walkman MP3 Player

Anything with metal in it like a pen!

Nothing has ever fallen off even over potholes and rough country tracks. All wifi 3g bluetooth are unaffected but cant verify NFC as I dont use it.

The only glitch I spotted was that the orientation sensor on the wildfire didnt respond (if I turned the phone from portrait to landscape whilst attached it wouldnt rotate the screen), but the other phones didnt have that problem.

I love it. Even though my magnet is larger (about the size of a 50p), its discreet and effective. I would recommend to anyone.

I have always used the stick on ones not the clip on, but as long as they clip ok to your vent and you dont blast hot air directly to the phone it should be ok.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Juvenall:
I use their X-Way model as part of my near perfect car mount solution.

So obviously, it all starts with the Tetrax X-Way. I mounted that directly to one of the vents in the middle of my car. It does block the vest quite a bit, but it's the perfect spot for me and doesn't involve any adhesive on my dash. At first, I tried attaching one of the little nipple things to the back of my phone directly. While this worked, it drove me nuts that I couldn't lay my phone flat on a table anymore. This became a problem when I accidentally bumped my S3 while it was sitting on a table and since there was less friction now, the thing went flying. So not good.

My solution was to pick up a dirt cheep slim case. That's how I ended up with the elago G5 Slim Fit Case. With the nipple attached to that, I could just slip my phone in/out of that and leave the case sitting in my arm rest compartment when not in use. Now I had the awesome form factor of my S3 and the ability to mount. So the next issue was the connection.

Like almost everyone else, I was using the cigarette lighter along with a curly charging cord that was 5x longer than it needed to be. Worse, the giant power wart that was now sticking out of my dash. Not only was this ugly, it was a pain in the but to store. What I really wanted to use was a small USB cable, 6-8 inches long, that could fit with my new case in my arm rest and a way to ditch the giant dash wart. The cable is easy enough to find, but how do I plug it in? With the Griffin Powerjolt Dual! While there are a bunch of USB port adaptors floating aorund, this was the first I found that would actually sit flush against the dash. This means I wouldn't have any stupid wart thing to deal with, the look of my dash wouldn't be thrown off, and since I don't smoke, I could just leave it in full time.

The big win in all of this is two fold. First, I could ditch the bulky plastic car mount garbage for a few thin and easy to store version. Second, I did the same thing (but with a different case) for my wife's Galaxy Nexus. Now we can both use the same mount depending on who's driving (or if we pick up a second X-Way, we can both charge and mount at the same time thanks to the dual ports on the Powerjolt) and save even more room in the car since we didn't need two giant device specific car mounts. The other minor bonus here is that the X-Way came with enough of those attachment nipples that I should be able to roll along for a few years using the same mounting system across multiple new devices.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmagas1:
Could you show some pictures of your dash?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeron16:
Decided to order one to try it out! Hoping it is as good as expected!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmagas1:
Yeah, I'm also ordered one to try it out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AverageCanadian:
My friend has this solution for his BB and loves it. I wasn't willing to pay the price the local Best Buy wanted. I found a different magnet system at my local Bell store.

Something similar to this. I stuck the large magnet to my dash and the other magnet is on my case. I've had zero issues with NFC. Bash cash mount kit imo.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeron16:
Hoping to receive mine soon! Anyone else using it and has more thoughts to share?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sirooga:
So I got the vent mount version and it works great in my car. In my truck the clip does not fit the vent. I placed the circle towards the top of the phone like it says and it hangs in portrait. In the video it shows it going between portrait and landscape, it doesn't do that. You get one orientation unless you put the connector in the middle I would guess. Other than that it is perfect.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aeron16:
i received my Xway and it is working great so far!

Holds my S3 with alu bumper and Hyperion Battery well and fits securely to my SUV's vent.

No regrets so far :)

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AwesomeTurtle:
A few months ago, I sold my Sony Xperia P (excellent aesthetics, but I'm a music junkie, and, while the DAC in that phone is great, the limited storage was killing me). Since then, I've been searching for a good replacement at a reasonable price.

My findings were reduced to Samsung N7000 (Galaxy Note), Galaxy S III (international, because Wolfson), Nokia N9 (limited storage still, but 64gb is A-OK) and a used iPhone 4S 64gb, all chosen because of their audio measurements.

And then GSMArena reviewed the LG Optimus L9 on January 4:

"Decently clean audio quality"

"The LG Optimus L9 did quite well in our audio quality test and easily put its premium 4X HD sibling to shame."

With a nice screen, microSD expansion, and price tag of just $200 (at t-mobile's Monthly 4G website), the Optimus L9, completely out of left field, is my choice.

Hi.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] luq529:
Audio quality is worser then Xperia P and S3 I think. Think about external audio player like a Sansa Clip+ it is very small and have microsd slot and cheap.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AwesomeTurtle:
Funny you should mention that, because I have two Sansa Clip Zips (don't ask, I just ended up with two). Both are great (low distortion, low output impedance, etc.), but I'd like a more all-in-one solution, even if it comes at the cost of some measurements.

The big hook here for me is pricing. At two thirds the price of the Xperia P, this looks like a nice alternative.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] alienngp:
well AwesomeTurtle i for one can tell you i have exceptional phone call quality along with video playback and music playback the games are really good and the screen is crisp we welcome anyone that wishes to join our community as we are just starting out and just got a subforum it be nice to get more people in the forums it is a nice price considering some of the other phones your are looking at out right price of 600 dollars or so i would say get it i dont think you will be disappointed
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] luq529:
What headphones do you have and what type of music do you prefer? I have CAL and the sound for me is flat from L9. It have good bass and high tones. But it's not going to give me fun of listening music. I still prefer sansa.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AwesomeTurtle:
IEM: Rockit-Sounds R-50

Cans: Bowers & Wilkins P5 (not yet, but this is my targeted set)

Music: I listen to just about everything on this planet.

Sansa's awesome and all, but I can't make calls with it, and I'd rather just carry one device.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] AwesomeTurtle:
Switching to a ~$700 phablet is a rather extreme solution to such a problem as ogg playback performance. A different media player could probably have done the trick.

Is there a way to make Google Play let me install such apps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plegdroid:
Evening.

you could con playstore into thinking you've got a nexus 4.

make a backup of your build prop.

then make the following changes.

ro.product.brand=google

ro.product.name=occam

ro.product.device=mako

ro.product.board=MAKO

ro.product.manufacturer=LGE

ro.product.model=Nexus 4

ro.build.fingerprint=google/occam/

mako:4.2/JOP40C/527662:user/

release-keys.

it should let you download anything from playstore. if your phone will run any app, that's a different story. :)

remember to replace your original build prop when you've finished downloading what you want from playstore.

Does anyone know how to disable music from automatically starting when my phone connects to my car? I noticed this happened on my stock thunderbolt, but when I rooted it some of the ROMs I installed did NOT do this so it would seem to me that it is modifiable somehow.

It is a very annoying feature...every time I end a call music starts whether it was playing before the call or not. Every time I start the car music starts. I know there is an app called Media Button Router that does stop this from happening by forcing you to choose the app to run upon bluetooth connect...but this app breaks button control from my wired headset.

It's just a stock ROM with some apps removed, AFAIK there is no other ROM that doesn't require custom kernel. (ROMs need to be installed with custom recovery and you need a custom kernel for that)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojito0:
Any Rom is ideal and the kernel should have CWM recovery and not TWRP (TWRP is the touch version and CWM the no touch one). Next time try the Q and As and if you don't want to do that at least do some research.

I have tried the USB switcher from the market but it has no effect. I have also asked in the respected ROM Thread but the DEV hasn't been around for a long time as he has ''real problems'' to deal with and not tech issues which I totally understand but that is good to me lol

And he posted the question already in the Rom thread and got answers or started discussions.

Searching in the thread I found a lot of references to USB/MTP/mass storage and why R.H. switched to MTP.

I think there is no real sense in starting a technical question in Q&A for a very specific Rom configuration like Robbie's.

So I would follow the above advice and try a different CR with a mass storage mode you like.

But: One single click is a time waster?

And even if posting here it doesn't seem necessary to provide informations about the very personal reasons of the Dev and ending it with "lol" (even if the last part of this sentence doesn't seem to make sense).

People had a go when I simply said the the Dev is too busy to do further work on his Rom, whats the problem saying he has real life things to sort out and not minor tech issues related to a phone? From monday I too will be too busy to do any kind of modding, playing with my phone so I have 5 days to get it how I want then I'm stuck with the final setup for 6 months. The recession caused by the few is affecting the many who played no part in it, its 1 of the biggest injustices of our time. The creators of the recession havent been affected like the rest of us, they continue earning obscene amounts of money while the rest of sacrifice to fix the problem they created.

- Yes its a time waster, if I listen to music on my phone while transfering files the media can not be read so the music stops.

I can not transfer an apk I have saved on my computer and then install it, I have to turn off USB Mass Storage to be able to view it on my phone. Turning on USB Mass Storage takes 5/10 seconds while it loads so yes its a time waster, its not just a case of 'clicking' 1 button.

Current setup - stock - 4.0.4 - I have not made any modifications to this phone so far other than upgrading it from GB OTA. It is the standard unlocked SIM free UK/Irelend edition.

PDA: I9100XWLPT

PHONE: I9100XXLQ6

CSC: I9100XEULPA

I am interested in trying the stock leaked version of 4.1.2 - actually I'm fed up with waiting for the official release which always seems to be "coming in the very near future" but never arrives.

I have read around extensively on this site and others about how to do this, but still have some questions that I would be grateful if someone could answer.

1. Brick bug - I have run eMMC check and it reports that it reports: NO. Sane chip. Does this mean that I have nothing to fear regarding factory resets/data wiping on 4.0.4?

2. Some mention that USB debugging should be checked - others make not mention of it at all. Should USB debugging be checked in this case when going up to 4.1.2 or back down to 4.0.4?

3. Should the SIM card be removed before flashing with odin or is it alright to leave it in?

4. When the phone reboots after flashing 4.1.2 with odin, some tutorials do nothing and let the phone reboot - others suggest removing the battery as it begins to reboot and then booting into stock recovery mode and doing a factory reset, wipe cache. Some even say also wipe dalvik cache. Is this battery removal step necessary? Or should the phone be left to attempt to boot and if the process hangs enter recovery and reset/wipe cache?

5. I have read in a couple of cases that the SIM lock has been activated after this flashing procedure on a previously unlocked phone. I have found an unlock apk on this forum that can resolve this issue. But why does it happen? How common is this problem?

6. In my 4.1.2 download from Sammobile there are 2 files that are not mentioned in the articles I have read. emmc_EXT4_16GB.pit and emmc_EXT4_32GB.pit - what are these for? Are they needed for this procedure?

7. How long should the reboot process take after the flashing is complete? - or after how long should I start to get worried if it seems to be stuck?

8. If I wish to return to stock 4.0.4 (here the brick bug is the problem yes?)- is the procedure the same as flashing 4.1.2? And if I do go back to 4.0.4 stock will the phone work with KIES again?

9. I have odin 3.07 - is this version appropriate for this procedure?
