[Galaxy S 4 General] Sarcron:
I wonder if that will help bridge the gap with physical retailers and online coupons. I use my phone a LOT when shopping because I can always find a deal and save some money, but it can be frustrating when you get a coupon and then the cashier has to verify that it's "legit". It would be simpler if all online coupons just came with simple bar codes that can easily be scanned and matched up in the computer. Some coupons do this already, but really every one of them should.
[Galaxy S 4 General] imthatguy83:
I absolutely think it could bridge the gap, but this depends on the right environment.

1. Mobeam has patented this technology, as thus it's going to need to be affordable to license it to the masses. (Interestingly enough in Mobeams' FAQ section under investors, it lists Samsung Ventures among several others)

2. The companies that make the products we buy everyday will need to jump on board and work with retail stores and app devs to get these coupons seamlessly integrated to mobile phones.

The most important thing of all this is $$$. Basically every store already has the barcode system in place, so not having to upgrade all of those systems to use rfid or nfc (another way mobile coupons can be used) will be a huge cost savings.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sarcron:
Was confused for a second so I went and looked up a video on on Mobeam, and wow, I didn't realize that was the full potential you referred to. That is actually really cool! I heard the HTC One also has an IR blaster, so couldn't it do this as well? Or is Mobeam's technology patent such that 3rd party developers couldn't really copy that feature, and for now it's exclusive to Samsung?
[Galaxy S 4 General] imthatguy83:
I think it uses the notification LED on the phone. The video shows the scanner scanning the face of the phone which is where the LED is. The IR is on top by the audio jack. That leads me to believe that this could work with most phones.

I'm thinking that their patent would def protect them so as no other company can use this tech with out licensing it from them. What that costs who knows. The most interesting thing about this is that Samsung apparently invested in them, to what degree again who knows. If Samsung invested heavily then maybe they will get to have the tech for a while before the company licenses it to other vendors. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Brendo:
I don't really get it? if you're going to scan your phone, why not just have the barcode appear on the screen like most other things?
[Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
The S4 has an IR sensor on the top of the phone as well (separate from the IR blaster on the front). It is used to detect hand gestures. I don't think many other phones have this technology yet.

Go to the site and watch the video...it explains why.
[Galaxy S 4 General] imthatguy83:
It's probably just as simple as the tech to read a smartphone screen is really expensive. The only other option is RFID and NFC all of these would require serious investments on the behalf of retail stores. This tech allows retail locations to use their existing laser scanners.
[Galaxy S 4 General] play2lose:
Basically MOST scanners in stores (laser scanners I think) can't read a glass screen it just sees reflections. Newer stores with newer/different scanners can read screens like the ones they use at starbucks...but the purpose of this is it can be used anywhere with ANY scanner. Pretty genius actually!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Brendo:
Sure, idea is cool, but given that scanners do a pretty awesome job with barcodes it is kinda redundant (I know, I used to test them on different surfaces at my old job just for fun)

If you are running stock rooted 4.1.2 UVMC6 on a SGH-t989, pull out your battery while the phone is on. Now, can you get past the 4G screen? If you can, is everything now FC on you?

This is frustrating. It seems all runs SO PERFECTLY. Until I pull my battery on the stock rooted 4.1.2. Then my phone will not boot or will not boot properly.

Anyone else have this?

*edit* Jamison's Infamous CACHE wipe fixed it. I ran the cache wipe script under TWRP. The phone rebooted itself. I waited a few minutes and it worked!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
Why are do doing a battery pull? You can't power off normally? If the phone is freezing just hold the power button in for about ten seconds, and it will do a reboot no matter what it's frozen on. Then when it reboots you can do a normal reboot or power off.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bwaredapenguin:
Anyone know how to use it? Google Wallet doesn't like the phone/AT&T yet and I'm not near the 2 random cities you get the "special" SIM for Isis.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] doxy-LS:
Wallet was so bleh

Before they disabled Wallet on rooted phones, I used it on my AT&T Nexus S. Once I got past the 'cool' factor (and the $10 free credit), I decided that a phone unlock, tap, PIN entry, then usually another tap... was more difficult than swiping my credit card.

So it would be cool to get Wallet going - but more as an academic thing.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] lokicat:
This is not a phone specific thing. AT&T and Verizon are trying to roll out their own NFC payment system and will do everything they can to block Google Wallet. What is phone specific is how successful the dev community has been in unlocking this feature, but I would not hold my breath for HTC One since we don't even have a custom ROM yet.

As for the future of NFC. Yes, it doesn't really take less time to buy something versus CC swipe. However there are a couple advanges:

1) More secure than CC

2) Possibly eliminate the need to carry a physical wallet

3) Lots of free deals when they start rolling this out

I for one am counting the days were I don't need a physical wallet anymore. As of today, I only need my driver's license and CC in my wallet. All my other stuff lives in my phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Sucky part is being that NFC is so short range.. most cases stop you from using it.. you will need to walk around with your phone naked most the time if you want to use NFC.. or get a really slim design case.. even with those NFC sometimes don't work
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bwaredapenguin:
Dang. I just switched to AT&T getting the One, didn't know about that. Not really a dealbreaker anyway, but it'll certainly be nice when/if the devs get it working. I always carry my phone naked, I can't stand to cover up and bulk up such a slim, sleek design.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] F22Rapture:
Just flash the Terrasilent Kernel with Odin to get CWM. That's the recommended starting point for installing CM10 anyway.

Remember to do all your backups (including and -----> **ESPECIALLY** <------ your EFS.rfs) first because when you flash the new ROM you'll want to clear your Dalvik cache and reset to factory settings, which would wipe all of the data on the device.

Once you've installed Terrasilent, press the power button and volume up at the same time to get into CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rosser725:
I don't have my EFS.. I can't figure out how to get it back. I don't have a lock screen or a power menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] F22Rapture:
Well, in any case, flash Terrasilent for CWM and then use that to upgrade to Jellybean.

In the future though, remember to backup your EFS before you flash a new ROM. You can't get it back once you've lost it, and faking one doesn't always work right.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Guys we don't even know if he has his efs so why bother flashing terrasilent? Hmm do you have a efs backup laying somewhere on your /sdcard like efs.tar? Maybe you can get your efs if you have this.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] rosser725:
I don't have an efs backup. A friend gave this to me because he bricked it, but I unbricked it with Heimdall and there's no lockscreen or power menu, and I heard about this problem back when I had my Infuse 4G but I never ran into it.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] F22Rapture:
Well, if you're absolutely sure there isn't one, go ahead with Terrasilent I suppose.

Zac, since you're here I had some questions for you:

1. I noticed that in the CM9 thread you said the gapps package needs to check for the EFS folder, but the CM10 gapps post didn't mention it. Is it still necessary?

2. Do I need to clear the user data when switching between builds of the same ROM, or only between major versions (ie. CM9->CM10)?

3. I noticed that "Cell Standby" is sucking up quite a bit of battery life (latest CM10 build). Is this something we can fix (or workaround), or is the problem "upstream?"

Thanks for all the work you and bbelos (and others) have put in over the past few months. It's really great to see it all paying off so well.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Hmm you could ask for somebody to make a dummy efs with the necessary information to get CM9/CM10 flashed into your device

1. It's not the gapps that checks the efs folder, it's the zip installer script

2. It's not mandatory but if you experience problems, it's recommended to do so

3. As I've already said in the FAQ, it wont change anything because the device don't have any antenna or anything cell related. The battery won't even be touched.

I have an original XDA and an original official XDA car kit which i use with tomtom navigator 2 with great success.

The XDA car kit works great because it passes all audio through to the speaker - phone calls, sat nav instructions, mp3s, etc...

I have just aquired an XDA 2 and have ordered the car kit from expansys.

Out of impatience i pushed my XDA 2 into my XDA phone kit (it does fit with a bit of encouragement - although i wouldnt recomend it)

I have noticed that the audio is now only sent to the car kit speaker when on a phone call.

This is not ideal for me as i am used to getting the audio from the sat nav and mp3s also from the car speakers.

Does anybody know if this is just an incompatibility with the old car kit and will go away when i get the XDA 2 car kit - or is there a softrware or hardware hack that can be done to rectify the problem...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sratwars:
I was flashing cm10.1, and it flashed fine and worked. Or it seemed.

While i was using titanium backup, it suddenly turned itself off, and got caught in a boot loop. then i pulled the battery,

and tried to reboot, then to go into download or recovery mode. Nothing worked, all i got was blue led :crying:

I was hoping my usb jig would work, so i tried...it did not work.

My question is, would i be able to go to sprint and ask for a new e4gt under 100

or would i have to pay the full price?

also, rather on the side note, would it be better to say i was updating to OTA or tell the truth about rooting and such?

I am not an advocate of being dishonest, but if you tell them the truth about what happened your warranty will be voided.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Not really. Cuz according to his story the truth would be: "my phone suddenly shut off and started looping the boot animation so I pulled the battery and now it doesn't do anything" OP if you have TEP file an asurion claim and pay the $100 deductible, if you don't have TEP you'll need to most likely go thru Samsung which will take a week or so. The EMMC brick bug is a known issue and *should* get replaced even outside of warranty. Your other option is to try jtag for $50 or $60 but that may not work if it was the superbrick. If it's just bootloader borked they can fix it tho. And if your led is blinking pull the battery for 10 minutes, while the battery is out hold the power button down for 30 seconds. Put the battery back in after 10 minutes and plug your phone into the charger for a few hours then try to boot into download mode after. Blinking LED typically indicates the battery voltage is too low to accept a charge. If you know anyone else with the same phone you can try their battery, if your phone works with theirs you know it's your battery.

Constant blue - no good for you

Flashing blue - woopty doo (soft brick)?

Anyway back to the "now what"

When you recover (soft brick)?

Or replace phone, stay away from cm10. That's the what part.

Hi I just rooted my Galaxy Ace Plus GT-S7500L today, and everything was working amazing!

Suddenly, about 4 hours later I tried to call somebody and I got surprised with the message on screen saying "Mobile network not available".

I turned off the phone and turned on back.

This solved the problem for the moment and I was able calling.

This is the first time that happens to me with that phone, and I think it is a big coincidence, that it happened the same day I rooted the phone.

Do you think if that problem is related to rooting the phone?

How to fix it?

Maybe that won't happen again, but I want to be prepared to fix it if that happens, or maybe if someone knows to fix it, I will do it to prevent that happens again.

So, here's the problem I'm having as of late. I really can't remember when I didn't have it, even on my Epic 4G. My GNex (and all the others I've had) has been having problems with the battery overheating (as confirmed by Trickster Mod) while not having much going on. It occurs with all three of my batteries. At screen off with nothing running it idles at about 41 degrees Celsius. Streaming music and looking at Reddit can put it to 50. My main problem is in my car in my pogo pin dock. If I had the choice I would be using Navigation, streaming TuneIn, hooked up to an FM transmitter with Bluetooth, and using AutoGuard as a dashcam. This puts the battery temperature to a minimum of 54 degrees Celsius, making it refuse to charge. I've also tried removing the back cover to help heat dissipation as well. Is this just normal behavior? Am I expecting too much from my device? Do any of you know how I can make this work?
