[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] kanecharles92:
Hi all,

I have something that bugs the hell out of me with my i9305, I use it very regularly in an iBolt car dock and have audio issues.

I use the perseus kernel on my i9305 s3 which allows me to detect that it has been inserted into a dock; I am able to route system audio and media audio through the aux-out on my dock, however I am not able to get the dialler audio when I am in a call with someone to come through the aux-out.

I contacted a developer of perseus but he said he was not responsible for the audio modifications. Essentially when the phone is docked, if I try to make/receive a phone call it automatically goes into speakerphone mode which is useless if I'm driving in a noisy area because the speakerphone speaker is no where near as loud as my car stereo which I use with the aux-out on the dock.

If someone is able to incorporate the ability to have the call audio routed through the aux-out on car docks (as well as have the microphone work, I read somewhere that by default the microphone doesn't allow a configuration where the call audio is also routed through aux-out) I would be willing to supply a donation if necessary.

I am unsure as to whether this would be a kernel modification or a ROM modification, it is very frustrating and I would imagine other car dock users also share this frustration when driving with their s3.

Hello,

I have a problem. When I play games, such as PvZ or Candy Crush Saga, when during the middle of gameplay, someone calls me, the game reboots/restarts after the call. Sometimes this also happens when I move (via long press of home button) to another app.

Is this normal Android behavior? In iOS which is supposed to be "fake" multitasking, this doesn't happen. Is there any configuration, or just bad app handling or bad memory handling by Android?

Thanks very much.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
Sounds like it is connected to the memory management of Android/your device. When you switch is somehow kicks out the game which requires a restart of it once switching back to it. This for instance happens also to the Contacts & Dialer apps, hence the lag in them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brightsteel:
Isn't there a solution for this? Games restart everytime upon switching apps..get really annoying :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
there is. you can find out how to lock apps in memory via google
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Isn't part of it coded into the app, so if you're unrooted, it depends on game dev to have coded it correctly
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
does it mean that iOS devs are better at this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
No idea how ios works tbh.

But I know some games always remember their state and others usually don't. I read somewhere for android, it depends on the game
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
rootSU's right. It's not because of the RAM that a game forgets its state, it's the badly-coded app. It's also known since long that iOS apps generally have a higher quality, but that's mainly because iOS isn't on many devices. Android is on countless thousands of different devices with different hardware layouts. It's hard to code an app specifically for a certain hardware layout when there are so many. iOS has what, 7 hardware (still very similar) layouts?

hi i unlocked my telcel xt890 and i'm using it in iusacell and i can't turn on the bluetooth
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rk2511:
I have successfully rooted my Sony Xperia LwW (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) using the DoomLord method. Everything is great. I can remove some stock Bloatware or apps that i don't use (using Root Explorer) & i did remove quite some apks. Although i had paid heed to some good advise to store the junk & not delete it. Hence i was moving the apks from /system/app/ to my sd card just to be safe.

The issues arised a little later.

1) My calendar widget that was showing Facebook synced Birthdays is now left completely Blank. I did try googling the issue but no solution. I correctly remember not having touched the FB Calendar sync apk. i also tried to check Xperia FB integration which is ON in performance assistant (ICS 4.0.4 fw 4.1.B.0.587) but still the issue remains.

2) The WALKMAN app lost all the library i.e. my Music. I had it updated in a while but it only updated from the Music folder on the SD card & not the Bluetooth & Downloads folder. i'm still clueless.

3) The Performance Assistant App that handles the FB Integration Force Closes on me.

There might be more issues but i'll post them as i find them during my use. My phone is in a working condition alongwith the issues. I hope Rooting is not a SIN. But there just might be some speed bumps on the way. So please assist me in any way you can. :good:

FYI: I'm a 90-95 % NooB so please be a little elaborative in your suggestions (if any on my problem). I'll update every info from my side.

Thanks. Peace Out.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] alund:
i think you remove some part of them :confused:

try re-flash your firmware and root again , and be careful if you want to remove system application ,

ora maybe you can write down here every app that you've deleted , so we know whether they're important or not :D

App List

Here's the list of apps that i've moved. (in screenshots)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] SXUsr:
Looking at your screenshots that isn't what you've done if you've just moved the apks, if you not uninstalled or froze then you've left a lot of stuff on your Phone, so best advise is to reflash the ROM, root, install Titanium Backup or similar and freeze the apps, although tbh I would just uninstall all those in your screenshots.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rk2511:
Thanks for the Heads up !!

Thanks for the heads up. I installed an app yesterday called NoBloat Free from the play store. The reviews were good so i gave it a shot. Interestingly in the list of System Apps in NoBloat i did not find the apps i moved. So i believe the apps are indeed out of question.

Another thing i tried regarding my Library issue was to format my sd card (read it on Sony's Forum) and then copy all the content back to my phone. The thing worked but the media gallery backfired. My screenshots that i posted above are no more in my gallery. But when i viewed it from Astro File manager, they were there.

Could my sd card be a villain for all my problems ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavinduSha:
I guess performance assistance app has a connection with AppEnabler.apk
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] a|\|droid_user:
try this...

you are not supposed to fiddle with system unless you have a nandroid backup..

ok try this,i m not sure it might work...:fingers-crossed:

restore app enabler,3 fb apps,mediawidget,setupwizard and track id and then fix permissions,then reboot your phone..

btw can u tell me in detail how u rooted?,u downgraded,rooted and then upgraded right?,or you followed some other method?...post the link...

hit thanks if i helped u:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rk2511:
Well Sorry for the delay !!

I believe it is just a change of name. When the OS is running the app is listed in the menu as performance assistance while in the /system/app it is called app enabler. Well that is from sony guys to help pace up the phone. So it is of little concern to me.

Here's the rooting link. Followed it point to point & successfully rooted:

Xperia 2011 Rooting Guide

Great actually but sometimes i think i messed up my phone.

Another weird thing happening is that my Wi-Fi when enabled on my phone does not connect to my router (although it has saved my router SSID & password). i have to go to airplane mod then disable airplane mode & then the Wi-Fi connects to the router. ANY INSIGHTS ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rk2511:
Calendar Restored !!!

The app enabler didn't help... right !! So i went to Settings > Xperia > Facebook integration & kicked started the Calendar sync & VOILA its on track. So 1 problem less.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavinduSha:
u can apply a walkman mod. it will solve issues with the walkman
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rk2511:

[HTC Droid DNA] KyJelly69:
Just got my DNA a few weeks ago and have been trolling the forums for a bit to decide what I want to do. So far it looks like either viper or hatka roms and cubed or elkays kernel. Does anyone have an opinion on which combination is "best" or suggestions for other roms or kernels to look into? I like heavy customization, battery life, and performance.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
For heavy customization is go for viper.

And cubed has s2w, and many other little tweaks in it, so I'd go with that if I were you.
[HTC Droid DNA] KyJelly69:
Does viper already haver cubed as default?
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
No. I believe it has dsb's stock with /system writing.
[HTC Droid DNA] KyJelly69:
Strange that it would support s2w but not include a kernel that supports it.
[HTC Droid DNA] uppon2:
Not strange at all. Stock kernels are in most cases more reliable and have the least amount of changes or experiments done with them!

I would rather have the option there for if and when I do decide to change kernels. Which I have because I am such a bad ass
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] snowmaniac22:
I dont want to make this a big debate i am just curious which ROM currently right now seems to run the smoothest and what kernals people are using for them. I wanted to try anthrax kernal and i enjoy the Darthstalker ROM so far but im curious if there are any advantages to the Goodness ROM? Thanks

Hi all not sure if this is the right place to post this post but was just browsing around some android sites and came across this artcle on android authority

http://www.androidauthority.com/mak...al-petition-needs-38000-votes-12-days-155279/

And was just wondering if anyone know if its legit seems to be and if so hope it gets enough signitures
[General Topics] ooddiittyy:
Actually not really sure how I feel about them making it illegal; I don't really benefit from unlocked phones, as rooting takes care of all I need. Seems like they're not really planning on going after individual violators, anyway, but rather places that sell unlocked phones for profit.
[General Topics] owlmastser:
suppose the way I Look at it is if you get a phone on contract why shouldn't you be able to unlock it and get as much as you can for it once your contracts up it also gives options to buy a phone that your carry doesn't carry that you might like thats still good or use abroad by just buying a prepaid sim in that country

just a taught
[General Topics] Pennycake:
I think this is the wrong route to people getting what they want.

It's fair enough to get yourself locked into a stupid contract - if the carrier is subsidizing the phone, why shouldn't they be allowed to lock it in ?

What customers need to do is demand more options or put their money towards products that represent what they want. Buy unlocked if it's important to you - the option is out there, just like the option to not get locked into a contract is.
[General Topics] owlmastser:
i agree with you pennycake you buy a phone on contract at a discounted price the phone company has a right to lock the the phone to their service but don't you think once your contract is full filled and the contract is up that the person should be able to unlock said phone if he/she so wishs considering that by the end of the contract you've paid full price and then some for said phone
[General Topics] Pennycake:
I'd agree with that, and many carriers do too - some don't even make you wait the entire contract term.

It's another case of "put your money where you support the policies". If people keep buying into things they hate, the carriers will just keep doing it.
[Networking] Looneytoon98:
Hey guys, this is the noob here. I was foolish enough to go to iOS forums looking for answers but quickly found they're, let's just say, unfriendly. Anyway, my issue revolves around iDevices dropping the PAN connection with Windows Mobile phones after 20 seconds. Is there a registry edit on the WM side to fix this? It's not the ICS app because my ES400 works perfectly on both my Windows 7 laptop and my Mac desktop (OSX 10.6). The PAN connection doesn't fail with an iPhone though. Some Androids like the DX2 work perfectly as well without root or 3rd party apps. This is baffling because I'm not about to give up my ES400 anytime soon.
[Networking] BBBB102:
Same problem here - any closer to solution?

Hi,

I have the same problem here. Got a new iPad for a business project and it will connect OK to an Android phone via Bluetooth PAN (even if phone not connected to internet) and the connection will stay open. However in our case we are trying to connect to a Windows CE 6 device and this exhibits the same behaviour. After around 20 seconds the bluetooth connection is closed even though before it closes you can use Safari and get a webpage up.

Windows CE is closely related to Windows Mobile so hopefully finding a solution in one will also work in the other.

Instead of having a general and development section being flooded by questions regarding problems would it be possible to have a separate thread entitled "rescue squad", or something to that effect? There are a lot of people who have problems when installing roms, flashing, rooting or any other one of the many things we do to our phones that could possibly cause unwanted side effects. I make this recommendation as it seems a lot of development threads and others get flooded with questions that have been answered repeatedly and having a separate thread off the main menus for all phones would drastically decrease repetitive questions be asked over and over and answered over and over. Thanks ks for taking the time to read this and look forward to any comments.

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobiascuypers:
Just wondering is anyone new what kind of apps Ubuntu OS will use. will they use .apk like android? or are they going to make a whole other kind of app?
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jscurtu:
AW: Ubuntu OS app extension?

They will use .deb ... Debian Packaging, that's one of the things what makes ubuntu ..
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshumax:
Good question! But in response to jscurtu: That will just be the dpkg package manager extension (that's only good for installing an "app" and cannot be executed like an apk). As you are probably aware android is basically a JVM on Linux. Ubuntu will be different. There will be no "apps" per se and will probably just be extensionless binary ELFs residing in /usr/bin with an icon and application shortcut in /usr/share/applications/ like regular Ubuntu and most other GNU/Linux OS's .
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jscurtu:
WT...? Yep, you got it right that the .deb format is the package format for the package manager..

..........but the rest just don't make any real sense with the OP question and the one has nothing to do with the other.

Anyway, ill be nice and get the things straight here for ya..

So what you are saying is that there will be no "apps" because its not in a single file, sorry i mean package??

That is just ridiculous ... "App" is just a term for a small Application no matter what the freaking execution is :)..

Android programs are compiled into .dex (Dalvik Executable) files, which are basically "zipped" into a apk "package". .

So basically... Android don't execute apk's either, it opens the apk at run time and executes the binary's in the package .. Similar to what a .JAR is for Java programs.

But on Ubuntu and Linux in general, there are allot of ways to execute a program depending on what programming language you have choosed.

So in a GUI environment, users will usually start their programs from a .desktop file that has in short explanation the instructions to the executable optional with parameters, the path and the path to the icon file ..

I am sure the Ubuntu Phone will do that as well..

But because Canonical will allow carriers and manufactures to remove root capability like android... the installed files from the deb package would need to be installed where the phone (user) has rights .. So that might not be standard way, I guess there will be a special folder for phone apps .. Cant wait to find out..

here is a example how a .desktop file looks like :

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox Web Browser
Exec=firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=firefox
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;x-scheme-handler/ftp;x-scheme-handler/chrome;video/webm;application/x-xpinstall;
StartupNotify=true
Actions=NewWindow;

[Desktop Action NewWindow]
Name=Open a New Window
Exec=firefox -new-window
OnlyShowIn=Unity;
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshumax:
You've explained it the best, but I don't see what was wrong with my answer.. the apps will be written in c++ and qml according to canonical, which are then compiled into raw binary files (unlike semi compiled dexs). Ubuntu should be able to run anything compiled for the arm architecture. While we could get into a flamewar about how Linux executes binaries, if someone like the op above were to ask what app system Ubuntu uses I'd say (for the sake of simplicity) they use fully compiled c/c++ binaries, not a deb which is only an installer which does not copy to a folder and constantly unpack at runtime like an apk does. Sure there are a lot of languages out there but the interpreters for other languages have to written in c/c++ to be executed on the target machine (you could argue that androids dalvik is like this).. as for the lack of root I've heard rumors that the usr directory has special permission and they've found a way to secure it enough to allow this. I have about 0 time to review this so I hope it makes sense.
