I would second the ps3 thing... Honestly now though, I went on craigslist and bought another xperia play (I used to have one) and keep that in my bag. The xperia play is smaller then any "good" controller are the market and I like that it doesnt kill my phone battery while I'm playing it. Got it for 80 bucks... hell of a deal imo.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
I wouldn't expect to ever see this on the market as is. Those buttons are going to take it straight into litigation land from Microsoft.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] d12unk13astard:
That's retarded if they charge that much for this 360 pad clone. Most they should cost is 40 considering not all games on android will work on it. I'd rather spend the $60-100 on a more quality product such as the icontrolpad2 which has the gamepad ± keyboard plus better design imho.

Well, if the SGS 4 Game Pad will be so expensive, i guess the icontrolpad 2 will look like a better deal.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pirogoeth:
So, last night, my phone stopped sending text messages. Out of NOWHERE this problem popped up. Tried rebooting a few times, still no messages could be sent (At the time, was using Sniper's PACman 19.3.0 ROM). This morning, I flashed the stock multiboot image, updated my profile, updated my PRL, and tried to send a message. Again, it was a no-go. So, I opened up my recovery (was an EL25 recovery, I believe), wiped data, cache, etc., then I went and flashed the 21.0.0 PACman ROM, flashed gapps, and flashed an FI25 modem. Booted up the phone, tried to send a message, still a nope. Tried to call someone, also a nope, as it just sits at "Dialling...".

I'm not sure what's going on, does anyone else have any ideas? :S

EDIT: Going to try to ODIN to a rooted EL29 and see if I can get results that way.

EDIT 2: Flashing to rooted EL29 did not help.

EDIT 3: I fixed my problem. I used ODIN to flash an EL29 kernel and recovery, as well as wipe my EFS at the same time. After that, I used a one-click to flash to EL29 rooted stock, updated profile, updated PRL, and everything was working! I went ahead and reflashed to PACman 21.0.0 and I can still call and send texts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
Not trying to be a smartass, but are you up to date on your mobile phone bill?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
I have to agree... Did you pay your bill?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Even if it was a billing issue the call would still connect, just not to the party you want to reach.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pirogoeth:
My phone bill isn't due for four days, but we are up to date on the payments.

I fixed my problem. I used ODIN to flash an EL29 kernel and recovery, as well as wipe my EFS at the same time. After that, I used a one-click to flash to EL29 rooted stock, updated profile, updated PRL, and everything was working! I went ahead and reflashed to PACman 21.0.0 and I can still call and send texts.

What I'm really thinking about is why it all of a sudden stopped working correctly...it worked fine ALL day, and I made absolutely no changes to the ROM or anything, but calls and text just stopped working out of nowhere. At least I know how to fix it in the future, if it happens again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pirogoeth:
So it appears I'm not out of the woods yet. Same problem has reappeared. Can't send texts, can't make or receive calls. Any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
I've had this happen when a tower near my house was flaking. I thought it was my phone... It was a problem with the tower. Any other *sprint* phones in the household? Have you tried in a different area?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pirogoeth:
Two other Sprint phones in the house. If there were problems, my mom would be the first to complain about it. I just went ahead and wiped the EFS on my phone, updated profile and stuff, and I'm going to give it another shot. If this is in fact a tower problem, how can I get Sprint to take the hint that they need to get this **** fixed fast? >_>

EDIT: Well, I'm guessing it's a tower thing. After wiping everything, still no messages can be sent or anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mongo41:
I had the same thing happen to me in the Pittsburgh area a few weeks ago. Call tech support and they will start a ticket and get it resolved. They even credited me a weeks service for the inconvenience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BAleR:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pirogoeth:
Used the "Phone EFS Clear" check box in Odin when I flashed an old EL29 recovery.

Have you tryed ##72786# i think.

Then your msl. I forget whats its called but it resets something with your radio
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
if you call sprint they'll fill a trouble ticket. they did for me but its not likely if other sprint phones look ok. did you look at the other 2 phones while yours was having a problem?

also stay on a stock one click for a few days and see if it works. maybe something odd with pacman (which I'm running fine btw).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] pirogoeth:
I asked my mom to try and send a text and try to call. Text failed, and the call took a good amount of time to connect. And it appears my dad is having problems as well.

Hey guys.. i think i have bricked my phone

I have the c6602 model and have a unlockable bootloader but left it locked. I have rooted it using goroh_kuns method

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2186368

then put CWM for locked bootloaders on it using this

then flashed this stock based kernel ROM through CWM without wiping the old one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2175903

but now my phone starts up, and reboots automatically, resulting in a loop. I can not go into the CWM recovery anymore because you have to do it through pc everytime while your phone is on.

Personally i think its Superuser from the previous rom and SuperSU from the new rom mixing up and resulting in the loop boot

Can somebody help please..?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petetoto:
Did you try to enter to CWM recovery by pressing volume key while booting to see if the recovery is working
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trabando:
yes it does not work, the led becomes blue after holding power + volume up it vibrates thrice x 2 then i continue volume up and the led turns blue but nothing really happens, i think its the download mode?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petetoto:
If you have the blue led working this means that it has the fastboot mod working - press VOLUME UP + PLUG INTO PC(not power)

try to switch off the device then press the VOLUME DOWN button while connecting to pc = flash mod

If you have one of theese working you can always repair your device

I have a folder named prls and when I want to switch to lets say Verizon I just copy the prl on the root of my sd card, ( not external) ans rename it TEST.prl so I know im doing it right.

[Oppo Find 5] Allanitomwesh:
Anybody wanting to set up an OPPO Find 5 'acquired' direct from China,this might be useful to you...

English ROM.

This is the latest official International ROM. It support Google apps and a whole other boatload of necessary stuff,AND IT DOESN'T BOOT IN CHINESE :)

How do I change this?

Go to Settings (设置)

In the first tab (常规), select the first item (语言和输入法) in the second section. It should have a keyboard icon.

Select the first item (语言)

Select English

DOWNLOAD

TORRENT

MD5 CHECKSUM FILE

How do I put it?

1. Connect the phone to your computer via USB.

2. Copy the firmware upgrade package into the root folder of your phone.[in your phone but not in any of the folders]

3. Open the System Update app found in the Tools folder (or go to Settings > General > About phone > System update).

4. Tap “Local upgrade” to select the upgrade package.

Or

1. Connect the phone to your computer via USB.

2. Copy the firmware upgrade package into your phone.

3. Turn off the phone.

4. Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons to enter recovery mode.

5. Select “apply update from sdcard” [4th option in Chinese] by navigating using the Volume buttons and and using the Power button to confirm.

6. Use the volume keys to navigate and the power key to select the ROM and confirm.

7. Reboot after it's finished.

I will try this today with my wife's chinese Oppo. I hope it works
[Oppo Find 5] Allanitomwesh:
How did it go,Samribi?
[Oppo Find 5] Samribi:
It went well. Everything worked fine and very fast.

The only problem is the gmail app, that, when updated, doesn't open the emails when I click on it, but instead closes itself. I uninstalled the updates, and now it works.
[Oppo Find 5] NargUk:
This is known bug and hopefully it'll be sorted in the next release in a couple of days.
[Oppo Find 5] Samribi:
Will the OTA update work normally, now that I have the international ROM?
[Oppo Find 5] Allanitomwesh:
Yes,it works fine,keeps settings and everything. It removes root though [doesn't fail,just unroots] but this can be avoided by selecting 'temporary unroot' and 'keep root after ota' in SU settings beforehand. Just remember to untick 'temporary unroot afterwards.
[Oppo Find 5] Samribi:
Thank you for your answer. My wife doesn't need root (and neither do I).

[Oppo Find 5] NargUk:

[Oppo Find 5] Samribi:
I will let her do the OTA update later tonight. thank you vey much.
[Oppo Find 5] davela72:
OK, dumb question, but if you udate via recovery, will it retain root?
[Oppo Find 5] Samribi:
From what I've read, u have to check the flag "temp unroot" in the superuser app, and after the OTA u can remove the flag.
[Oppo Find 5] davela72:
This would apply if you did the OTA update but what if you flash it manually?

hey nice post , i would love to do this

do u have any Screenshots for the same .

and does it actually get rooted after the process .

and how to restore the original chinese rom incase anything goes wrong
[Oppo Find 5] Allanitomwesh:
You'd need a custom recovery to back up the Chinese rom.

I'll get the screenshots for you.

No,this only gives the EN firmware, no root. However,there's easy rooting methods currently,so it's no problem.

It is very unlikely anything will go wrong, it's all very simple,but you can

a) Flash back your nandroid backup

b) Visit OPPO Chinese Forums and download the latest firmware.

[Oppo Find 5] bor3d2damax:
Hey guys, just ordered my Oppo Find 5 and it should be here on Monday. I am just curious about this ROM and the Chinese ROM (Color Rom 1.1) in the android dev section. I just want to know what's the difference between International and Chinese. I know one is in English and the other is obviously in Chinese but are they essentially the same thing? Don't know which to flash honestly.
[Oppo Find 5] Allanitomwesh:
The Chinese ROM is newer,so most of the time it has newer features and or changes. But the Chinese also get more betas so they aren't always stable,and oppo do break things a lot....

So pro's for Chinese ROM

get to see what's coming early [test drive new features]

Get the latest android version [always get the updated android versions before us by at least a week or two in their betas]

Get more regular OTA's [puts you on the Chinese beta OTA path which is frequent]

CONS

not in English by default

Chinese stock apps that need root to remove [issue if you don't like to root]

not everything always translates even if you change the language [especially in betas]

Chinese recovery [solved by putting twrp]

no gapps by default

Pro's for the international rom

Stable

In english

Cleaned of all chinese only functions and settings [that you can see in the chinese rom but can't use]

Gapps

Cons

"old" by version number

fewer updates [stable path does not get beta OTA's]
[Oppo Find 5] bor3d2damax:
[MENTION=4615733]Allanitomwesh[/MENTION] thanks man! You've convinced me, ill flash this one when i get my F5. One more question the international is not on 4.2.2 correct?
[Oppo Find 5] Allanitomwesh:
Color is 4.2. 4.3 is confirmed,so one of the betas might have that soon,and some of the custom ROM have 4.4 already if you really must have latest.Personally like features in ColorOS ROM,it's very nice for a manufacturer skin.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamHaLeKe:
My guess is that the (US) version with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor will use the build-in audio DAC in the Krait SoC, and the (EU) version with the Samsung Exynos 5 octa processor will use a separate Wolfson Audio DAC ;)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hot_spare:
US version uses Qualcomm's native audio. No Wolfson.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikereidis:
That's my guess too, but I'm anxious to hear confirmation.

Is the audio completely within the Krait SOC, or does it use an external WCD93xx chip like MSM8960 etc. ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nniicckkss:
Can I ask this question here please, I don't think it warrants a new thread...?

What does the Galaxy S4 (for those who have heard it) sound like on loudspeaker for audio, like music and video etc., when compared to other devices generally, excluding HTC One?

I'm not familiar with Samsung at all. Are they one of the better quality devices, how did the S3 rank against others?

Thanks, just wondering! :)

To you and the guy asking if the s4 will have good loudspeakers...I have yet to hear speakers on any phone...here's an analogy(right word?) You don't buy a laptop expecting good speakers, so you shouldn't buy a phone expecting good speakers...I mean a phone really can't fit good sounding speakers...then again I may be a little harsh as I am somewhat of an audiophile...studio monitors for my computer speakers and studio headphones for my music on the go...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbong777:
While that's true, there are relative differences between the "quality" of the sounds coming from these devices speaker setups. Some ARE better than others. I think that was the intent of the question. I MO one of the weakest areas of Samson's devices are the internal speakers. HTC seems to be addressing that.

based on images I have seen the loudspeaker seems larger than the one in the S3

the DROID incredible (original) had a nice speaker (could even output some decent lows)

Samsung Omnia 2 had some of the best speakers (Stereo baby!!!!) I have ever heard in a mobile phone.

even though I am not a huge fan of Bose™ , they could probably create some nice clarity out of some micro waveguide design
