####### DISCONTINUED #######

Go here for updated version.
[Android Apps and Games] doumer:
Great idea! Unfortunately this doesn't work with plex :crying:

Working fine for google music, but it has notification controls by its own.

Also the design of the notification could be...improved :p
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
What's plex? Lol. And improved how? There's really nothing you can do with it. It's like that default by Android.

If this is plex then they need to incorporate a media button listener. Cause my app functions the same as media controls on a keyboard, bluetooth headset, and other devices. Plus it looks to me like the Plex player is playing music on the Host device and streaming it to your phone.. different circumstance as normal players.

Thats part of if. I just dont have 25 bucks to open an account to post a 100% free no nag no add app. I was thinking of incorporating ads into the app but i hate when others do this so i wouldnt really want to do this myself. Plus people who already have this version in the OP then they will just continue to use that version and share it. I'll have to think about it. THanks for the help though!
[Android Apps and Games] fryingpan0613:
You could have a paid version where maybe you add themes or something?
[Android Apps and Games] elesbb:
People want functions. The user is hardly in the activity, so they won't even see the themes. I should have instead released a beta instead.
[Android Apps and Games] mDroidd:
You can add a lot to this even now.

Think of a widget, a permanent overlay when users starts playing music, gestures to launch / skip / quit / pause music etc.

I want to do something with music in an app by me too, maybe we can work together on that.

Hi,

I have searched for this info, to no avail.

I am using RR 3.1.3 on my S2, and I listened to some streamed internet radio.

I'm guessing this would have been downloaded to the browser cache, so I'm wondering if it's possible to locate this downloaded file in the cache, to save and listen to again? I was using the default browser.

Many thanks in advanced for any help on this.

There is a sale on SanDisk Ultra Class 10 microSDHC. Can Asus Transformer Infinity TF700 support micriSDHC? Can it support 64GB?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I and lots of other in here have a UHS-1 (post-class 10)-rated Sandisk 64 GB SDXC. Works great on updated systems (mostly not working on the units at launch date) and all current custom ROMs. Look up the thread on external memory - that's what the search function is for, mate!
[Asus Transformer TF700] cheater1:
Thank for the help. I'm not good with memory and types of memory. Is the SDXC same as microSDHC?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital

(micro)SDHC is limited to 32 GB, everything above is (micro)SDXC. SDXC is by default formatted exFAT, which is also supported by the TF700 using a preinstalled proprietary kernel module.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
_that gave you the technically far more complete and eloquent answer (@_that: how do you keep all this inf in your brain? ;) ) but the short answer for Dummies is that if we can use SDXC to good effect, you can use SDHC (since it is an older standard, and support for it is more widespread).
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I don't need to - I know how to use Google. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:

Hey, don't underrate the ability to Google. You might be surprised how many otherwise smart people find it difficult to form a good query that returns focused results.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Hahaha, you're right. Luckily, when I said 'I know how to search", I really meant "I know how to search". ;) I do find it funny how, sometimes, just adding one term -- or even changing the sequence of terms -- makes the results so different. You really have to be creative sometimes. (And I'm surprised at what people have published about -- it's very, very rare that nobody ever posted on a specific subject.

Excelent, I recommend, Actually I use it on my note, by far better than stock Android or Samsung keyboards, amazing fast two fingers typing.

[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
I have to respectfully disagree. The stock keyboard on the Note 2 is lightyears ahead on swiftkey 4. The predictions seem far more accurate, the speed is much faster, it has a better clipboard, handwriting recognition and doesn't bog down the phone.

I installed swiftkey 4 and promptly Uninstalled it after a few frustrated tries at liking it.

I should add that swiftkey 3 use to be my keyboard of choice before the note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] tot31:
I beg to differ. In my case it was the opposite.... :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
The new version has introduced the Flow feature, which is like Swype, no difference in terms of tapping, it is same. People who don't use Swype don't know what's the benefit of it and how it is totally different than tapping! Quite honestly I'm still with Android for Swype, and now SwiftKey has brought Flow, amazing! Still I'll say Swype is little better than Flow, atm.

Sk4 predictions are now more accurate if you take your time to program your email account, twitter and social network into SK4 it will learn typing, I favor it iPhone like typing prediction with auto correct, just I opted for fast typing and no prediction auto insert with space bar. This way directly skyrocket the typing experience (I come from iPhone iPad so the ipvone like keyboard favor me).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
My wife and I both are occasionally having all contacts disappear. Wife's phone is a stock Note II. My SGS III is stock/rooted ROM, with custom kernel.

Quite frustrating; contacts all gone and need to reboot, and all reappear.

Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions that you know of?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
how do you have your contacts setup? by vcard, sim, gmail, etc?

do you 2 share similar apps on your devices? it could be an app causing this error that you both use. how long ago did this start?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
Our contacts are via Gmail Synchronization. We do not create contacts on the SIM card.

It started for me a month or two ago. It is infrequent. In fact, I had decided it was something going screwy wiht Gmail due to some update or something, as it had not happend to me for a few weeks. But it happened again to me today.

In my wife's case, what she has been noticeing, more than me actually, is the contacts disappearing from her widget, not from contacts. But yesterday, all the contacts disappeared for here, but remained on her widget :eek:

Regarding programs, I have a lot installed; she has a few things installed. I am rooted and using Go LAuncher and associated widgets, etc. She is standard JB, no root, and using default Touchwiz stuff.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
when you go into contacts, are all of them gone or just most? to see if they're all their and your phone is simply not displaying them all, try this:

go into contacts > settings and chose Import/Export. export the list to the SD card. go back to the contacts list > settings > import, all from SD card. if they're in there, go ahead and make sure your contacts are set to display just the gmail ones (in contact settings) and then sync your contacts with gmail (in settings > accounts). maybe even turn contact sync off at that point
[Windows 8 General] Okluzhion:
You will have to excuse me if this has already been asked and answered somewhere. But I'm really pissed off at the moment and could easily kill all the developers who worked on Windows 8. To cut long story short, Win8 has caused me a lot of problems and I wish to downgrade to win7. So here's my question. I have an Asus laptop which has drivers only for Windows 8 (I realized this too late). I'm wondering if I can run Win7 normally with generic drivers that are not laptop-specific?

Any helpful answer is greatly appreciated.

Sent from my cracksperia Arc
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
While I'm curious about these problems you mention, in actual answer to your question, it entirely depends on the hardware in your laptop. Stuff that Win7 supports natively with generic drivers, such as USB2, typical mice and keyboards, SATA HDDs and SSDs, and so on will work out of the box. Some components, such as the video card, will partially work with generic drivers but you'll want to download Win7 drivers for that hardware to get full features. Other hardware, such as USB3 ports, WiFi, and any sort of touchscreen, will almost certainly have Win7 drivers available but may not work at all until those drivers are installed (as the drivers probably won't be included in a standard Win7 install image). It's pretty unlikely that any of the hardware in the laptop will *only* have Win8 drivers, but you may have to go hunt down the correct drivers from non-Asus sites, or find older Asus laptops that have the same hardware but were supported with Win7.
[Windows 8 General] Okluzhion:
Thank you for your answer. And about my problem. The instant I log in, windows automatically logs me out, as if it cannot start explorer.exe and userinit.exe. I tried EVERYTHING, check disk, reset, repair, I cannot enter safe mode as I need to log in to enable that (why oh why did they have to remove F8 on boot?). The only thing that's left is clean install. I never had such problems with Win7 and earlier versions.

Edit:

I'm curious about the difference between drivers for graphic card from asus' website and nvidia's website. Does Asus alter drivers in any way?

Sent from my cracksperia Arc
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The drivers from NVidia will actually be BETTER than the ones from ASUS. The ASUS ones wont be updated as frequently. Otherwise the ones from ASUS are just NVidia's ones repackaged

I have never heard of your issue before though.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Actually, that depends... if the machine supports switchable graphics (say, Intel integrated as well as NVidia), you'll need the correct drivers to support that switching. Just installing the NVidia drivers will work, though, and it's true that they'll likely be more up to date.

NVidia's reference drivers for mobile devices also tend to be really buggy in my experience, though - things like preventing the computer from entering sleep or hibernate, or running the fan too much (even when not needed) and wasting battery life. They seem to be un-optimized for mobile machines, which OEMs sometimes fix for their specific models.
[Windows 8 General] Okluzhion:
If you google a bit, you'll see quite a number of people having similar or same issues, as a matter of fact. And no solution for the problem except a fresh install.

Yes, that's my case. I have both Intel and NVidia. As far as I'm concerned, I don't mind not having regular updates, or updates whatsoever if the drivers are stable and working.

By the way, thanks to you I searched for older Asus' laptops with the same hardware with Win7 drivers and found one. So now I have pretty much everything of importance working (ethernet, wifi, graphics card, etc.), though most of the Asus' software doesn't work as it claims my laptop is not made by them. Silly laptop specific OS restrictions.

For some reason my phone auto connects to Wifi even when I manually switch it off. If I put phone in airplane mode it auto turns off airplane mode in like 5 seconds.

I did a full reset and it seems to have fixed the problem.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorkvader96:
Were you somehow able to get this fixed? I suddenly had a wifi issue myself. It happened around two weeks ago. I suddenly was not able to connect to my home wifi when I was more than 2 or 3 meter away from my router. I have tried absolutely everything:

1. Tried flashing new modems and kernels.

2. Tried flashing CM11 then wifi fix patch - didn't work. I flashed boeffla kernel - it just made it worse, I could connect when I was near the router but couldn't use the internet - it just showed wifi was connected but with slow or no internet.

3. I tried flashing back to stock rom and even updating with kies but still the same problem.

4. I flashed Android Revolution HD v52. Tried different modems on it. Flashed wifi fix. This still didn't work so I tried boeffla again. No luck.

5. I tried the murata fix through terminal emulator and still didn't fix it.

I don't know what to do anymore.

Can anyone help me, please??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Probably hardware fault.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xezi:
Would you be willing to downdate your android version?

My SIII has the exact same behaviour as yours.

Wipe everything, clear Dalvik.

Try flashing this stock: I9300XXEMRH_I9300VFREMJ1_I9300BUEMJ1_HOME.tar.md5

You still will have to use the annoying *#0011# thing to psm off every time you reboot.

Yesterday I installed CM11 and was very very happy with it. It's fantastic really. So lightweight.

But wifi only worked to > -50dBm power levels. That is what you are facing right now.

As you know, with CM you can't invoke *# commands.

Before that I've flashed samsung stock 4.3 and the behaviour was exactly the same,

with the additional thing that *#0011# didn't bring wifi up as expected.

Hope this helps in any way.

Xezi

edit: I just looked back for my original firmware:

AP/PDA: I9300XXBLH3

CP:I9300XXLH1

CSC:I9300DBTBLH4

I never got any wifi problems with that one.

It's still downloadable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xezi:
Since there was no reply to last answer I assume there's no interest at

the moment. But maybe this helps someone in trouble in the future.

By reinstalling and changing some options, it was possible to achieve this:

- wifi working with SIII, 4.3, with no need of *#0011# tweak - can leave psm default, on.

- wifi range went back to my previous numbers, that is, 40m away from router behind wall.

Diagnosis:

- when connecting to wifi, SIII get stuck at connecting, possibly with 'authentication error'

- *#0011# psm on/off doesn't solve it

- *#0011# status show no ssid, mac ap 0.0.0.0, and/or weird numbers like power and speed

Process:

- if you have root privileges, clear Dalvik cache from root explorer, if not, just go to next step

- triangle away your custom rom installs

- power off

- power on to recovery

- wipe user data / factory reset

- wipe cache

- install 4.1.2 Netherlands I9300XXEMG6_I9300PHNEMG2_PHN from sam mobile via Odin

- reboot

- let it install all bloatware, login to your google account as usual, register for update

- here it updated ota to 4.3 after 3hours downloading. You could try download a official 4.3 rom directly,

although I did not try this method

- wi-fi options, advanced, make sure 'always allow search' is ticked on (5th option top down)

That option is what makes it work. Why is that is the most interesting thing, and it is, as far as

I understand it, a kernel bug. It costed me 40 hours of googling, home testing, changing all

kinds of security/encryption router configs, wiping and reinstalling ROMs since ICS, and more.

Hope this finds someone else in trouble...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TransX2:
I have a Verizon galaxy nexus currently running apophis's build of the Aokp with linaro. This newest build is 4.2.2. I started having service connection issues after flashing his previous build which was my first 4.2.2 Rom. I also had changed Pimp my Rom settings but have since changed them back. If I'm on a call or my phone is just sitting there it will sometimes just drop service. Sometimes it reconnects, most of the time I have to restart. I don't know what it is. It didn't happen to me before I flashed a 4.2.2 Rom. I don't know if it is the Rom or the pimp my Rom settings I had or what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
In the Verizon dev subforum, stickied at the top, is a radio thread. Download the latest radio, the one for JB. Make sure you check the md5 sum before flashing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TransX2:
Thanks for the reply, this has been pretty annoying. I realized my phone has trouble switching from one tower to another. I found the sticky. Should I just flash the radios for 4.1.1? That is the newest version they have for JRO030.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Yes, afaik those are the newest radios available to us and the ones I am using. If those end up not performing for you, you may want to look into some of those hybrid radios that people use, but I cant help with those because I have no experience with them.

Make sure you check that md5 sum before flashing.
