[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
Buying a smartphone invariably involves compromises. There's a lot that (from my perspective) is wrong with the One - the screen is much too small, the lack of storage, the fixed battery; there's also a lot that's right - a non-OLED display, good-quality built-in speakers, good performance, and a camera that doesn't pander only to marketing numbers. Right now it's the best compromise available.

The problems with your initial post are that it betrays a woeful lack of imagination, and a woeful level of arrogance. You are unable to understand why other people's requirements might be different from your own, and unable to accept that their opinions may actually be just as valid as yours, despite being different. I would have been happier with more storage (if the 64GB version were actually available in Britain, that would be a good start), and with a removable battery; but, unlike you, I am able to understand why other people might not have the same requirements that I have (for example, because they don't watch downloaded hi-def video on their phones to the extent that I'm likely to) and it would never occur to me to ridicule someone merely because they have different priorities.
[One (M7) General] electrash:
Those who says that he needs removable battery are psycho idiots.

Try not to depend on your mobile phone, try to have normal life then just typing.

When my battery is low, im happy, leave him on bad, and go out work something, or make dinner.

Why the **** do you bring phone in kitchen or when you go to coffe with friends?

Its a sick man, better try to find medical help.

1: external battery cases

2: stronger, nicer designs

3: battery life times are longer than ever and I'm more likely to upgrade than need to replace an unhealthy battery.
[One (M7) General] Livebyte:
Dude, I replaced my phone battery twice because it bloated.

As much I prefer removable batteries, I see its probably near impossible to provide a practical unibody chassis with a removable battery.
[One (M7) General] slannmage:
You clearly do not to swap your battery out, there are people who do and so this isn't the phone for them......... quite simple really, get over it, the world doesn't revolve around you.
[One (M7) General] horsetastic:
Removable battery or lack there of is slightly annoying but to be honest you get a 2 year warranty so if it does fail you can get it replaced easily enough. Yes it's not as convenient as if you could swap it our yourself or even get an uprated Mugen battery for longer life but c'est la vie, the One is still more than good enough with a non-removable.....

Also on storage....There are surely very few people who will honestly use more than 64gig, and if you do happen to need more than this on your phone then honestly you need to invest in a laptop/PC and an external hard-drive or if you just want it for music, buy an MP3 player with a card slot......this should do it http://www.amazon.co.uk/micro-card-...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1363338492&sr=1-1

If you want to carry 100 gigs of music archive (which, sorry but doesn't make sense), get yourself an old school fat ipod.

Seriously you don't even listen half of those music for like months. and you know that too. It is just silly reasoning.

[One (M7) General] myself11:
I will laugh at OP when a storm strikes his residence and no electricity for a few days. Then you will remember this stupid thread. That happened with me some weeks ago and if not for my beloved HD2, I would be screwed. It was a once in a lifetime thing, but it happened. Removable battery and sd slot are important features, that matter for many users, for various reasons. I don"t care about IR remote control, but if it is important for some users, I don"t ***** about it.

Samsung IV is an ugly piece of plastic with an ugly UI, but they"re doing it right with the aforementioned features because Samsung knows that many android users aren"t yet isheeps, ie, users that turn a bad thing into a glorious invention.

Android filesystem limitations make sd slot important and an external battery is not as handy as a removable one. A phone can be slim and have this features. Htc and Asus are just trying to save / make more money.
[One (M7) General] asheyb85:
Currently using my Nexus S as sold all previous phones, have to change the battery everyday after 5hour use, had the iPhone 5 had to charge it after the same time period, had the Xperia Arc same story with that, had the Blackberry 8900 was okay from what i remember, had other phones such as HTC Pro 7, iPhone 4/4s, HTC HD1 and many more,

All these phones non were brilliant on the battery issues, reason being i use the devices heavily as its my solo entertainment while at work & i do mean heavily. However i always have a charger with me if the battery isn't removable such as iPhones....

No offense to the topic creator but you haven't pushed the devices to its limits or use it as i do..

That being said iv ordered the HTC One (Black) as there is a charger always with me, but i can understand those who don't have a charger with them all the time and need to remove the battery as i'm doing that at the moment.

Just because its one story for you doesn't apply to others

Hi

Can Somebody provide me or guide to someplace I can find the stock Nexus S JB 4.1.2 Google keyboard app ? as an apk or a flashable zip ?

Edit : please I am not looking for something from playstore ,, I need the stock Nexus S JB keyboard

I can pull the app from some stock rom zip , but most likely it will not work without the required lib and what not ... A guidance is required please

Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jojoost:
It will work :)
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mahanddeem:
It didn't work. .Tried that already by just copying the apk, setting permissions and reboot. .

Thanks
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] leap_ahead:
Your rom is odex or deodex?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] jojoost:
You have to go to language and input settings and enable the keyboard over there. You will have to delete the old keyboard as well
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] mahanddeem:
Thanks for all the replies..

I didn't mention that I'm on AT&T skyrocket JB Rom...it's deodexed, and ofcourse it's a touch wiz ROM...bad thing is that Samsung removed the stock Google keyboard from their JB Rom(for AT&T it's still a leaked Rom not fully official)

But when I was on ics I had the stock Google keyboard..I might try use that and see...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshashwat93:
I am coming from gs3. There were huge problems about it not being open source because of undocumented exynos by Samsung. Since I am looking to run cm flawlessly with all future updates of cm coming on my phone how is htc one in that field. Will it get stable CM? Isin't snapdragon 600 open source?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Snapdragon is always opensource. I am guessing the real problem with having a stable CM build on HTC one is it's features like Zoe & camera. Both require HTC's own imaging chipset on which are closed source. So unless you can consider having a basic camera then yes it should be stable.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshashwat93:
CM anyways does not implement these extra features right?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Correct. Anything that's not AOSP won't be in any CM build so 3rd party apps won't be in it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshashwat93:
So what are the chances of a perfectly up and running AOSP on HTC One?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
Using HTC's dedicated imaging chip is 98% not possible 2% if someone would bother reverse engineering the driver which is a very2x tedious task and I doubt anyone would bother.

So unless you require the imaging chip on what you call perfect then highly unlikely.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshashwat93:
Care to explain that? What do you mean by imaging chip and what does it do?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LesserAnimal:
HTC s last flagship one x still doesn't have flawless cm though its getting close. If enough major players get involved maybe there's a chance but the odds were stacked against h8rift as amazing and appreciated as his work is.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nullkill:
The camera. HTC has always used unique hardware for their camera and writes their own drivers that are not open source so the only way to get the camera working 100% in CM would be if some one went through the HTC driver.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi,

I am developing a secure custom ROM and have finished the first alpha build but I am new to github and have a couple questions.

Do I simply use git and push my entire project up including files I never touched? Can someone give me a couple pointers. My upload speed is slow and the project folder is quite huge.

Any help is appreciated. I tried searching but the XDA app didn't fins anything nor did my Google search.

I want to make sure I adhere to GPL properly.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Oswald:
Hello,

I updated several times my XDA, bought with O2. With the latest available update http://www.online.o2.nl/productinfo/xda/nieuwesoftware1/ (DUTCH!) troubles and more troubles with my XDA.

The radio shack update completed completely. I just had to cold boot the XDA to be able to use it. So I did. But, nothing happened. XDA = DEAD. Now I read the forum and emailed some people for advise. So I SD-bootloader flashed my XDA (Nothing seems to work properly) I tried this with several ROM versions. XDA-DEVELOPERS V1.2 ROM, O2 V3.0.17, even the V4.0.5 WM 2003 ROM. GSM ERROR. After SD Bootloader flashing the XDA's ROM I notice that after a Cold Boot (2x) Nothing happened. Pressing the Power ON/OFF button brings me into the Wallaby bootloader V5.14 screen. If I press the left-lower warm BOOT button, the start screen showing the version of the ROM is displayed and after a little while GR is displayed. After this, nothing. XDA is DEAD? The only thing that is unusual is the Slowly flashing screen. Could this be a warning of the low-battery? Or could it be a warning that the GSM is not working? What is wrong when after a Win CE flash dowloaded from SD, a soft reset (lower left pin-button) results in nothing and pressing the Power On/Off button (Top left) brings me into the bootloader menu?
[Galaxy S II General] rhd-android:
I'm fairly certain this hasn't actually been done previously - but if I've missed a thread and created duplication, my apologies.

The Nutshell:

Samsung put NFC in our phone, and then removed the antenna, probably to obscure the reality that the SGS II HD LTE is really just an SG3

INGREDIENTS:

- Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE

- $5 NFC enabled case (I used a case designed for the Note 2)

- Cyanogenmod (9 in my case), or other rooted ROM

HERE IT IS IN ACTION:

View My Video

There's not much to this hack/mod. Peel the NFC antenna off your donor case. Align it on the inside of your SGS II HD LTE battery cover. You're good to go. No cutting required, and the phone's back still attaches without creating much (if any really) noticeable puffing of the case.
[Galaxy S II General] stevenma188:
Is there anything special about the NFC antenna from the case? Will I be able to do the same thing with just a sheet of metal cut to roughly the same shape, as long as it contacts the 2 points on the phone?
[Galaxy S II General] rhd-android:
Special yes - its an NFC antenna. That's why it requires harvesting from something like an NFC case. It's not really metal at all (even though some of the Chinese case descriptions call it a metal pad). Its a semi-flexible sticker with a metal coil looped around the edges.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
most certainly trying this for sure....now just have to find an nfc antenna from a note or something of the like!!! thanks for this post. was always wondering why the phone had nfc capability, but no antenna. even when i called samsung the, "tech help" on the other end said it should work bone stock out of the box......lies....
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Just get a case from eBay. About $6ish. Mine's in the mail :)
[Galaxy S II General] Ms.Dummbunny:
Thanx for this post... I wondered same about the NFC, getting ready to get one of these while i wait for the SGS IV and then this will become backup phone. Wasn't planning to root it tho, will this mod ONLY work with CM9 or other "rooted" rROM?

Thanx!

[Galaxy S II General] cabetoguerra:
Hello friend, I really liked the TouchWiz interface with time and weather of the video, as you get it? It is an application? or comes with the rom? I wish I could install it on my Samsung SGH-I757M. I thank you in advance for your kind response.
[Galaxy S II General] recordman:
Does anyone else besides the OP got this working? I got a Note2 antenna from ebay. I'm using CM10. None of handful of tag apps can find a tag.
[Galaxy S II General] rhd-android:
1) Have you enabled NFC in settings?

2) Have you ensured that the pins are connecting to the antenna? (try holding it there without the battery back attached first - may require an extra set of hands to pull off the whole test).

3) Are you sure you're using an RFIC tag that can be read? (I have 3 access control cards and a hotel card that I thought would be read, but can't be - different frequencies).
[Galaxy S II General] recordman:
1. Disabled it and re-enabled just like your video.

2. Tried with and without the battery cover.

3. I'm not completely sure I have the right tags (ebay description: "compatible devices: ...Samsung Galaxy S III; Samsung Galaxy S II (not all versions).."). I'll borrow an NFC-enabled (S3) phone to try it out.

Which CM10 build did you try it on?
[Galaxy S II General] rhd-android:
I used CM9 - whatever the build was that was the only build around here for a while. I'd check, but I've been on a Note 2 for about 2 weeks now - the i757m is no longer my phone.

Try it without the battery cover, holding the two pins right on the two pins of the antenna, to make sure you've got a good connection.

Hi,

I just installed Asylum 4.2.2 following steps here in this forum.

It's great, works perfectly and smooth. But I have a problem: I can't find the option to insert the carrier code, so now, every call I want to make I need to insert the carrier code. I tried to find the option so every call I make the carrier code is automatically inserted but I got nothing. I can't find it in Asylum 4.2.2.

I looked in this forum but I didn't find anything related to my issue. Probably I am missing the option in the settings screen, but still I can't find it.

PS: It´s a brazillian issue. I solved using a brazillian app

I was just curious if there is any way to improve the graphics so it looks like the iPhone version? Or the international galaxy s3?

I've downloaded chainfire 3d and tried installing the game with powervr plugin enabled and when I try to run the game, it just crashes.

If there is any mods or editing in order to make the rendering of the game graphics much better, feel free to share :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
There is no way to do this with the Andreno GPU. Don't waste your time and phone's battery life with such mods.

The best you can do is an overclock with powersave mode OFF.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
Well battery life isn't an issue for me but if there is no mods to improve it then guess I'll just stick with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
What we need is something like pixel/vertex shading or anti-aliasing enabled for our GPUs.

The quality is noticably better on the i9300 and i9305, but still not as iOS (where even the rearview mirrors are reflecting the cars behind you).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Intercrew:
I'm just surprised that we can run games like Dead trigger which has insanely great graphics and also by editing some of the text file in the game to activate the "Nvidea" exclusive graphics (ultra setting) with good frames.

I thought there might be some text editing or file editing that will also trigger the same effect for the RR3 but doesn't seem like it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
Not all games use the same "engine", so tweaking wont work here.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayRokk:
This is useless on the S3

This is for lower end devices on which low quality is set to default.

I have been consistently wanting a viable video editor / movie maker for android, and finally there's some hope.

- Background: My work phones have been iPhones for several years, and I own a personal iPad 2. Currently iOS is in a different league, above Android, when it comes to video editors / movie makers (yeah, I said it...). There is nothing comparable to Apple's iMovie on Android (nothing that is multi-platform, that is). I know there have been apps by individual vendors (Samsung etc.) that only work on their hardware, and even then, there were buggy (I have the Samsung app, and it has a lot of issues).

So, the good news is, I Just came across this tonight - http://blog.wevideo.com/bid/272187/W...pp-for-Android

It's a new app called WeVideo (just released, so it's still in BETA), and it's pitching itself as an iMovie-like editor for Android, with some cloud-based features and other differences, but what's important as it appears to provide full "movie making" capabilities across various Android devices.

I just tried it out and it works well, with a few oversights like:

- No transition control

- No volume control for music tracks

- No local storage of published video (not that I've found anyhow)- This is its biggest drawback IMO

But with the app being brand new and in beta (AND FREE) I'm hopeful that community feedback will sees this things are addressed.

So for now, if you don't mind using their simple theme, and don't want to include your own music, it works pretty well.

It's also nice that it supports publishing of your videos directly to YouTube, despite not exporting to sdcard etc.
[Android Apps and Games] c3n_dhol:
not supported on my device :(
[Android Apps and Games] archa1c:
Be patient. :) It was literally just released. Their website states that additional device support is under development.

Developers have to know that there is huge demand for a working movie-making app for android. I'm really hoping that this one pans out. I know many people who would be willing to pay a decent fee for such an app.

Since upgrading to a stock Jelly Bean firmware, I noticed that pressing the home button causes a short 1 second delay before it actually does anything. It's enough to be annoying since it slows down returning to the home screen or moving to the default home screen.

The reason for the delay appears to be that it's waiting to see if you're going to make it a double-click. A double click launches the dreaded Vlingo voice control app or Google search dial by voice.

You can remove the delay by installing Advanced Home Button from the play store, and following the "Galaxy S2 hack" instructions within that app.

Now, pressing home instantly takes you to the home screen without the one-second delay.

The downside to this solution is that you lose the double-click functionality on the home button, but most people probably see that as a benefit anyway.

I am not the author of that app, nor do I know how it works or how to reverse it.
[Galaxy S II General] merquise:
Or you can delete both and no more 1sec delay :)
