[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamikaze702k:
theres a few things you can try, first go to system settings > more > mobile broadcasts and unsellect all the options, if this does not work for you, you can FREEZE 'mobile broadcasts' with Titanium Backup, I recommend FREEZING rather than uninstalling!! however if you want to remove then use root explorer go to system> apps> mobile broadcasts.apk i do not advise doing this as i am not sure of the outcome! I personally did both of the above methods and i have stopped receiving them...:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrixmainframe:
Are you talking about SYSTEM SETTINGS then under the section WIRELESS & NETWORKS tap MORE / MOBILE BROADCASTS and deselect all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamikaze702k:
Yes, you can try this method firstly, test it for a day or two see if they stop if not then freeze it with titanium backup
[Networking] GuestK0077:
I want to switch to an all data plan for my phone. I don't need talk or text because I think that Fongo and Facebook messenger are adequate enough. So, I after doing a bit of poking around the internet, I found that the cheapest data plan for tablets is the Rogers flex data plan. Has anyone gotten a tablet plan working on a phone? My thoughts are that since they use similar radios in tablets and phones, why not? Setting the correct APN should allow the phone to use a tablet data plan on a standard SIM right? Would I be able to activate a new plan with Rogers with a phone IMEI or with no IMEI? Also just in case, would anyone be willing to let me use their IMEI for their tablet to get a plan? :)
[Networking] GuestK0077:
Sorry, wasn't being clear, I meant, would someone be able to give me their IMEI for their tablet so that I could activate a tablet plan for my phone just in case I am not able to get a plan with no IMEI or using my phone's IMEI? Sorry if I'm still not clear... I don't have a tablet to activate a plan with and I am in no position to go buy a 3g tablet just for my phone plan...
[Networking] killkillkill:
Well, if by "lowest price", you mean "highest price", then sure... robbers. Otherwise, try some of the smaller carriers, like Wind. Walk in, buy sim card with data plan, walk out. Nobody cares about your imei or what type of device you have.
[Networking] detdett:
actually, Bell is offering $20 for 1GB. Fongo uses 0.5 MB per minute. That would mean you can use up to 2000 minutes a month.

In terms of the IMEI, I know some of them ask for it in order to activate a plan. Is there anyway to get around that?
[Networking] jkjkjij22:
hey, I know it's been a while, but did you end up activating a Rogers Flex plan with your phone? how did the process go? did you need to provide IMEI? did it charge you properly for a flex plan? were APN settings ok the way they were, or did you have to change them manually?

Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HEZAiKU:
Someone please tell how many thing that is cannot use anymore after unlocked bootloader?

What i know right now is after unlocked bootloader is the drm will gone, that i can't use the stock trackid(need to download the new one from google play) and i can't use to register my phone via the first setup. what else that many of things that cannot use it after unlocked?

I really want to know about this world of android, lol~

(But before this, after i unlocked it for the first time, i still can use trackid and registered the phone.

Its happen after i relocked and unlocked so many time but not in the same day. HAH~ Silly me~)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
That's it I think, I can also still use register thing though. New track Id works but prefer shazam.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] TheGadgetGuy:
Ok. I've been trying to get this program (DVD to Pocket PC) working properly, with no success.

I downloaded the demo version, and it 'started' to make a 5 minute copy of a DVD. It ripped the DVD, then crashed when attempting to turn the MPG file into a WMV file. I was able to manually convert the file to WMV format, and it ran on the XDA.

The problem is, the program doesn't work anymore. I can't get it to rip ANY more DVD's, not even the same DVD I used initially.

I love the idea of the program, and was really looking forward to buying it if it worked properly. I have a shiny new 512MB SD card just begging to be used.

Does ANYONE out there have the actual, whole version of the program that they can tell me about? I have been burned before buying badly written Pocket PC programs, and don't want that to happen again. If someone can loan me the full version so I can evaluate it, I'd REALLY appreciate it!

I just want to make sure the program works properly. The demo seems to be really flaky.

Thanks.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] sublimatica:
The demo crashes for me too at the same stage you described, so I uninstalled the damn thing and moved on.

I'm using Win2K, and this may be my problem - the website says XP only. Whatever. Can't be bothered.

I guess this program must work - otherwise, why do they sell it? Crashing halfway through is an obvious bug, no? ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
I have the full version, running on xp pro, it works flawlessly, I leave a dvd in the drive overnight and in the morning I have a film for transferring to sd or cf card, never crashed on me either.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] TheGadgetGuy:
That's interesting.

I am also using XP Pro, and like I said in the previous post, the program (demo) 'started' ripping the DVD, then promptly crashed at the point when it was supposed to be converting it to WMV. I was highly disapointed to say the least.

I even tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling. The exact same thing occurred. :(
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] alexlloyd54:
I'm using the full version on WindowsXP, and it's GREAT!! 8) 8) 8)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] TheGadgetGuy:
I uninstalled it again and reinstalled, and now it's working properly. VERY cool. I think it's worth the $25.00.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Sniss:
I also have the full version of this software, worth every penny

One thing worth mentioning is the Step 2 Only option from the Special menu

If the program doesn't complete the final step of converting to WMV, just select the Step 2 only option and it'll finish off

You can also trick it into converting any mpeg files into wmv by renaming them to DVD.mpg, placing them in root c:\ and running a Step 2 Only

Very useful for TV episodes, as it compresses Simpsons episodes to 30mb
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] db:
I think I saw this software in PC Magazine. Are you saying that you can download an entire Movie DVD onto your PDA?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] Sniss:
Yep,

It compresses a 90minute movie to approx. 128mb

so increase the size slightly for longer films

i've had two 90minute films no problem on a 256mb SD card, and haven't had any issues with slow load time or memory problems

Hope this helps
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] db:
How do you download the DVD? Can you give me kind of a dumb guys version. I'm a bit new to this stuff.

alternatives

This is slightly off the thread, but...

I personally thought that $25 was a bit steep for software that just rips a DVD, and then uses freely available microsoft tools to convert it into a small file. Theres a whole load of free stuff available that will do all this.

Another problem I had with the software is that it is not configurable. The demo 5 minute video I produced had a frame rate of 20 fps. The playback was noticably jerky. I would be prepared to suffer a 25% increase in file size for 25fps.

I would recommend anyone thinking of buying this software to check out the following free tools, to see if you can't get a result as good or better:

And it gets really funny ..... when I take a screenshot of H/W or the H/W+ output for the proof, the screenshot seems normal !! WTF ??!!

Guys please check it and reply, if its a common issue or its me alone ??

[Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
Another way to try is to go through the "upgrade" option on the website if it shows unavailable for your area. Even if you are not eligible for an upgrade, you should still be able to see phones available to you at "full no contract" price and the s4 (black and white) should then be listed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
I'm trying to modify LatinIME.apk, but every time I make a change and install it (or flash a modified CM10.1 with the changed LatinIME code), it's exactly the same! My changes don't have any effect. I'm frustrated, and I'd really appreciate any help from a more experienced Android dev. It's a build or an install issue.

--------------------------------------------------------

Procedure: Download CM10.1, modify the relevant LatinIME files, delete the "out" directory, rebuild CM, and flash phone.

Goal: Android keyboard knows about offensive words. It even knows their frequency: as it knows "I" is more likely than "o", it knows "ass" is more likely than "blowjob" (although this linguistic comparison does not accurately reflect real life recreational experiences). We should be able to type these words as we can type "clean" words.

How to accomplish: The XML dictionaries (cm10.1/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/dictionaries/*_wordlist.xml.gz) contain a "f" flag which is a (censored) word frequency used by the keyboard for prediction/completion. We need the keyboard to use the "originalFreq" flag, which is the uncensored word frequencies.

Ideal solution: Modify the dictionary parser to look for the "originalFreq" flag instead of the "f" flag and rebuild the keyboard app (LatinIME) (cm10.1/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/tools/dicttool/src/android/inputmethod/latin/dicttool/XmlDictInputOutput.java). No success once flashed. (Tried copying LatinIME.apk to /system/app, also tried a dirty flash of the whole OS.)

Hacky solution: Modify the dictionary itself so it doesn't contain the censored frequency "0". Also didn't work at all. Is this actually not the dictionary used by gesture typing? What the hell am I doing wrong?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunderboy19:
Greetings!

I got the ICS OTA update yesterday and noticed that the Easy Wake option no longer works in WidgetLocker. It worked just fine before the update as I could use the volume buttons to wake the phone. Since the update I'm forced to use the power button. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix to "reactivate" the volume rocker as a wake button?

I've done the clear cache reboot thing (mostly to speed up the interface which worked well) and updated WL to the latest version to no avail. Thoughts?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltkipras:
Hey there, this problem might have been discussed before but I wasn't able to find it, so the problem is with ram usasage, I once went to the apps in settings and on the running apps I always see 250mb+ ram used by something, then I killed all the apps, but that just made a dliference of 50mb ram, It's real anoying because when I want to switch between apps it's slow and when I turn a browser back on after using aother app the page realoads which I guess wpuldn't happen with 300 mb ram, does anyone know the reason for this, I am currently running cm10.1.

What ROM and Kernel are you using?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltkipras:
ROM; cm10.1 nigtly 20130330 galaxysmtd Kernel: 3.0.70-g7b668b pinky-ghost@cyanogenmod #1
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marshian:
Free RAM is useless. It just sits there sucking up power and being available in case you need it. It's pretty much a waste to have 300 MB of RAM and then only use 100 MB. Instead you should try to keep your RAM full at all times with the things you are likely to need in the near future. For example, if your phone is currently only using 20% of your RAM but already caches the browser in case you'll use it soon it will be faster to load the browser. If you decide to use the music player on the other hand the cached browser can be overwritten with the music player without requiring any additional time, so no harm is done.

Modern systems don't have "free" and "in use" RAM, they have "free" (wasted space), "in use" and "cached". You shouldn't look at the amount of free RAM but rather the amount of actually used RAM is a better indicator.

The reason you only gain 50 MB when you kill all apps is because only 50 MB will be actually in use by apps and all remaining unused space is used for caching things. If your phone is slow, this is not the cause of it. You may just have a slow phone or the ROM might be slow for some (other) reason.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltkipras:
yeah only 50mb is used to keep the apps running, but it probably takes up a whole lot more when using the apps, and this is a problem for me that it is slow to change between apps, and when I do change between the for example if I wanna text some one back while using a browser, once i turn the browser back on it restarts the page, and that didn't happen in my zte blade, unless I had some more apps running.

I wanna know what is using those 250+mb of ram!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
see exchange service,any svn services n keep track of system usage. normally 100mb+ will be taken for ui, framework...etc.

but. eventhough u keep track of it,then slaughter it, it will come back to life n running, so i wouldnt recommend slaughtering system usage.

switching between app normally slow for full or stock rom. try find some debloated rom. it will be suitable for u if u wanna more free ram rather than liquidity.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawci0:
I also observed some sluggishness after some time of usage. Sometimes the phone got totally unresponsive, not catching any push events (from buttons or screen), so that I couldn't even wake it after the screen timeout. I had to wait even few minutes before it was alive again.

Google Chrome was the most ram-eating app as far as I know.

Sometimes the best method is just restart your phone from time to time or even make a wipe - this is normal for all low-end android phones as they get sluggish after some time.

Long story short: I ended up buying a new phone with 2gb of RAM :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:

I have same symptoms pawci0 and ltkipras mentioned.

But I don't want to buy a new phone...

The lack of memory is noticeable when I run Waze or maps . It just opens for a couple of minutes and closes by itself or rather hangs the entire device.

What should I do? Go for the CM10.1 stable, try a different ROM (i.e. Slim). Change kernels?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compacity:
nope, waze doesnt use that much ram, try to fix permission first n clear cache in recovery

n try greenify app to control app thats always running.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkknigh_t:
Just try a other rom or kernel you would be amazed how lets say a change of kernel can speed things up. The point is everyone uses their phone differently different apps and things so you need to find the rom that suits you mostly.
