Hello, my name is LudoGris and I am a flashaholic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kelton Rivas:
I have Titanium Backup Pro, and there is a certain issue plaguing me. I always make a backup of my apps to be flashed in recovery so that I don't have to manually reinstall them with each new ROM, but some apps are always broken. Namely Skype, Chrome, and YouTube. Whenever I try to launch the apps after flashing the "update zip" in recovery I receive a "this app is missing critical functionality, please try to download it again" message. Once I download it again those issues will evaporate and everything is dandy, but why does it happen in the first place? To backup my apps I always go to the menu and select "backup user apps;" once it finishes I then click "create update.zip." It will flash in recovery and I'll have my apps with the new ROM, but like I said, some will be broken. Can anyone provide insight? Am I the only one experiencing this issue? I always save the update zip to my external SD card of course; is there something else I need to backup, too?

... is FANTASTIC!

For those of you in areas where T-Mobile has recently modernized it's network to support the 1900Mhz band, check your reception.

I use to be in and out of EDGE and 4G from area to area. And I just realized that, in my house, where I would only get EDGE, I have FULL BARS in 4G.

I just did 9Mpbs down / 2Mbps up in my room where I would be damned if I ever got past 100kb/10kb. :D

I use Network Signal Info app and widget and prior to the update the widget only showed HSDPA 14.4mbs and now after the update im showing HSDPA+21.6

Looks like some radio updates were in the JB update.

Im still not pulling down those speeds but its nice to see the radios were updated. Looks like more testing on my end needs to be done to see how much better the data speeds are for me.

How well do we think the Xperia Z is selling now the Pre-Order buzz is over?

It's 2nd in the Buymobilephonea.net top sellers list, behind the iPhone 5, but ahead of S3.

With the HTC One and S4 about to come out where do we think the XZ will position itself in the sales table? I think overall Sony will outsell HTC (not by much) and Samsung will easily remain on top.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rashkae:

Hello everyone!

do you guys know any good gamepad that fits the Note and is sold on Amazon.com?

this one looks cool but one reviewer says it doesnt fit the Note 2 (so it wont fit Note 1 too)

What would you want it to go to? It becomes slower than average EvDo speeds at -120 dBm, and I believe EvDo travels further so you'd be better off on 3G at that distance - assuming you're connected to the same tower.

To be honest, this is my first time experience with fake phone. But the first time I look, i thought it was real. :D

So, my friend bought Samsung Galaxy S III in china. She bought with a very cheap price, about $200. I thougt she can get that very low price because pass tax or black market. I already suspicious when im setting that phone, and i found many chinese app with chinese write, and cannot be uninstall. So i just disable it. I thought it using chinese firmware. Its menu on setting also different from other S3. There is no S-Voice on this phone. When im trying to connect with Samsung Kies, it not Detected.

And when im open the backlid, it surprised me. Here's the picture :

LOL

And theese are some screenshot I took

Setting menu

Chinese app

Phone Info

China really good at cloning something. IMPOSIBRU !!

And my friend give me authorities to do whatever with this phone, because she cant use skype and some apps. She still dont know yet that this phone is fake.

And my question is :

It is possible to change its ROM to a custom ROM ? Maybe use Rom that using same kernel?

If theres no possibilites, I will put my hands up and give this back to her, and laugh. :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
I guess the phone will have different hardware, kernel etc., hence it will be dangerous to try a I9300 rom on it. Give it a try if you don't care that it becomes a brick, otherwise don't do it :)

Is there a fix for this? Anyone else have this problem?

For those having problems with bluetooth not working on the new 4.2 OTA from Asus....they screwed up permissions on /system/vendor/lib/libbt-vendor.so. It's permissions are wrong and need to be changed to rw-r-r. This can only be done on rooted tablets....locked or unlocked:

Open a terminal

su to root

Make /system rw with: mount -o rw,remount /system

chmod 644 /system/vendor/lib/libbt-vendor.so

reboot
[Transformer TF300T General] tbdawg:

[Transformer TF300T General] xaueious:
Actually you can wait till ASUS releases the whole firmware file on their webpage. Then you should be able to reflash your firmware without wiping data using that image by moving the image on the SD card. So there is no need for root.

Hi,

I had to factory reset my device (4.1) before updating to 4.2, I thought I have lost root. But managed to restore root quite easily.

If you have preserved root via VooDoo OTA RootKeeper before updating to 4.2 you can give these instructions a try. They work if su-backup copy is not disturbed by OTA, which is mostly the case (like yours).

Make sure ES File Explorer has root permissions. In settings->root settings, check Root Explorer, Up to Root, and Mount File System. Change directories to /system/vendor/lib. Long tap libbt-vendor.so and click properties. Change permissions: check read for User, Group, and Other. Check write for User. Tap OK. Reboot.

Hi bads3oct,

for the bluetooth problem, are you talking about bluetooth address missing in system info and it couldn't be enabled in setting(I slid the bluetooth switch from OFF to ON, but it rebounds back to OFF immediately)? my bluetooth worked fine with 4.1.1 several weeks ago and i haven't used it until yesterday. During the time, i just upgraded it to offical 4.2.1.

I've rebooted thousands times and switch the laucher from new 4.2 UI back 4.1 , all didn't help.

my tf300 is still running with locked bootloader and unrooted.

I want to know if the problem you guys are talking is same phenomenon as mine
[Transformer TF300T General] bads3ctor:
Yes...the bluetooth toggle rebounds back to OFF immediately when the permissions are wrong after an update from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1. If you are not rooted then I think the only way to fix it is to unlock and root. Maybe you could manually reinstall the update while locked and unrooted using the Asus zip file but I don't know if this is possible.
[Transformer TF300T General] abczhou:
thanks for your quick reply, Asus should notice their mistake and fix it soon.
[Transformer TF300T General] jaredmorgs:
Interesting side-note to this thread. I implemented the fix as prescribed and it worked perfectly. So much so that I am typing this reply on a generic BT Keyboard.

But before I could do this, I had to restart the tablet to re-enable bluetooth. This was after using BT all day with this keyboard. The only thing I did was connect the tablet to the charger, and after it finished charging the BT stack behaved like it did before I implemented the fix. I checked the permissions on the file, and the Owner permissions were still preserved, so I'm at a loss to explain it.

Not sure if there is something else going on here, or if it is pure coincidence. The issue was easily fixed with a restart.
[Transformer TF300T General] jawert:

[Transformer TF300T General] jaredmorgs:
I don't know if this is due to the BT stack on our devices, but when you disconnect a paired BT device, some apps really hate it.

I did this while playing Pinball Arcade, and the app crashed.

There is a noticeable system pause when within an app when you turn off the paired device (my Logitech Tablet Keyboard has an Off switch, rather than a soft-off feature).

Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] cnmsales:
So I had this specific problem and got an error when trying to flash the new update. Apparently I had changed something in the system and didn't know it.

These are the steps I used to get JB on my phone, and get root back after I lost it. Hopefully this will help someone out.

Step1: First of all, you will need to use the droid razr utility to go back to ICS.

You can get this tool at http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/11872-droid-razr-utility-190-windows-mac-linux-all-in-one/

IMPORTANT. Make sure you install moto drivers, and rsd lite before running the utility. Both included..

Make sure phone has usb debugging mode enabled.

Make sure when plugging phone into computer you disable mass storage mode.

Step2: Once on ICS use the utility to also root again.

Step3: Once rooted, install voodoo and create a root backup.

Step4a: Put this file on your external SD card.

Droid life actually has the whole new file. So no need to flash xmas leak.

You can get it here - http://www.mediafire.com/?5ca5825kzojfv49

Step4b: Boot into recovery and install from sd. Choose the above linked file. Let it do its thing.

Enjoy.

Just a warning, after doing this even though the utility indicated root was done, and after JB installed voodoo was showing root but when trying to update the SU app it said FAIL when trying to gain root access.

Luckily root can be gained in JB using this exploit: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/6935-rootwindows-razr-blade-droid-razr-41-jb-root-exploit/
