[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berrywr:
[MENTION=3529492]GoodDayToDie[/MENTION] This is why I like to take my time before jumping all in with a new smart phone; homework! Is the Windows Phone Development Center the same entity as what use to be the AppHub? I see from their website they're offering an annual subscription to WPDC for $19 until August 27, 2013. My memory serves me correct it use to be $99 unless you had a student (.edu) email address which I do coincidentally have...was for Windows Phone 7.x Since my Titans are HSPL I never had a need for it. So what is being advertised around the web as a Developer Edition is not necessarily bootloader unlocked it simply means pentaband or for example you can go to a Canadagsm.ca and get the same thing for about $400 US; yes? Thanks!

I have a Lumia 720 ....it has SD card option....so can anyone tell me how to install apps from SD card ??
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
[MENTION=1203383]berrywr[/MENTION]: You're correct. The $19 account will get you a 1-year Dev Center account (same as AppHub) and that will allow you to dev-unlock your phone and sideload XAPs. You can certainly try using the school account, and it may work and save money, but historically school accounts were relatively locked down by comparison (maximum of three sideloaded apps at once, which was relaxed but nore removed for paid accounts).
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitalschool:
I'm in the same boat, I have removable SD card and I cant install apps off it on my Nokia.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
[MENTION=4561056]orbitalschool[/MENTION]: Did you even read the post you claim to be "in the same boat" as? I don't think you did, because if you *have* a microSD slot, then you are explicitly *not* in DavidinCT's boat.

In any case, the "install apps from SD card" is for marketplace apps that you downloaded using a PC, to save phone bandwidth. Nothing more, nothing less (well, It might work for enterprise apps too, but you can just email those to yourself or send them via Bluetooth). You still need a valid license to install apps that way, too. Homebrew apps can be installed using the dev tools. Pirated apps can't be installed at all, generally speaking, though that (and the fact that asking about it is against the forum rules) hasn't stopped people from complaining that it's not working...
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitalschool:
The Apps, I downloaded manually from Microsoft site. Put them on the SD card. I re-factory set the phone, as wp8 started downloading my hotmail emails and I didn't know how to uninstall or turn that function off. Every question is easy if you know the answer, I had no idea you could send apps to the phone via bluetooth, thanks for the info.

Its all irrelevant now, I put two tutorial.avi videos on the SD card. Phone wouldn't play them, I'm sure more knowledgeable people could easily rectify this, I tried a SD avi player app but couldn't get that to work, I must admit I really liked the Nokia 820, butter smooth and looks and feels great...Its just been repacked as I'm sending it back. Such a shame as I can do everything I want on my HTC wm6.5....so wp8 for me is going backwards.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sireangelus:
you can dev-unlock the phone with the studio 2013 preview for free.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbitalschool:
Thanks, at the moment I'm new phoneless.

Let me adjust me tin hat, my frustrations as a not very technology minded person; I just want things to flow. I don’t want to feel everything I do is governed by big business. On my wm device, select file explorer, find app, install and watch avi. WP8…???

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] d73805:
I've had the Blaze for a few months, and I am pretty unimpressed with the camera. It's hard to believe that it's not as clear as my former phones, which were the Mytouch 3G, Motorola Defy, and HTC Amaze.

I'm in the auto parts business and one of the most common uses of my camera is to take a picture of a vehicle registration to keep it for reference. With the Blaze camera, when I zoom in, the text is unreadable. With my older phones the text was always clear enough to read easily. I've tried the camera using the stock ROM and with CM10. I didn't notice a difference between the two.

Does anyone know if the limitations of this camera is the hardware or the software? If it's the software, can you recommend a better camera app or what camera settings have worked for you? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] d73805:
Me again.

The issue really seems to be that the camera will not focus, regardless of which focus mode I choose. I've tried many camera apps and, like I said, both the stock ICS and CM10.

I tried googling my problem and saw some posts of people having the same problem with the S2, but I didn't see any good answers.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] boulos:
I use Camera Zoom FX. Works great and has lots of options including storage location. It also has some options for auto focus. I have mine set to focus before picture is taken. My pictures come out quite nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] d73805:
I just tried Camera Zoom FX, but it still won't focus. Seems like it may be a hardware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] boulos:
I have mine set to:

Focus Mode : Focus when taking

Focus : Auto

Not sure what else it could be. Sorry I can't be of more help......
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
I know this will sound stupid, but is the original protective plastic piece still covering the lens? Or is there any smudges on the lens? If that isn't it then you likely have a hardware issue. You will need to flash this first and then odin back to stock (see here or just download the latest firmware from sammobile.com and odin flash it) before sending it out to have any warranty work done on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] d73805:
The plastic is definitely off and the lens seems clear. Seems to be a hardware fault.

I sent an email to Samsung detailing my issues with the focus. They wrote back and explained how to use the settings for the flash. They're both F words, so I understand their confusion. Will call them when I have some time.

Thanks for the links on how to return to stock.
[HTC One V] Pranav Sharma (PS):
Hey all..!! i was recently taking a look at the build.prop file in my phone and i tried changing the name of processor...

Since this experiment was a success thought i should share it with you all....

It gives a very classy feel although its just a simple trick...

i tried this on a custom rom (sense 4.1 rom) but cant say weather it will work on stock or other roms

edit the

ro.product.processor = Single core

to

ro.product.processor = xxxxxxx

xxxxxx= any name you like

Note do not edit the value of ram...!!!!! Or do any other at your own risk i only tried it with processor

after changing the value just reboot..

you will need to use a root explorer

hope u find this information interesting
[HTC One V] mr_nooby:
It's already know that you can modify things in build prop, and by the way no one will ever believe your processor is an i3 :p so it's just a little pointless :p:p

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

And what if I told you, you can also change the phone's name :sly::sly:

[HTC One V] martijn99:
wtf, i dont have that product.processor line?
[HTC One V] Pranav Sharma (PS):
Well I know nobody will believe and that its pointless the only thing is I didnt like that single core written in processor name so

I thought that I should share this ...moreover there are always a few people who like this idea....
[HTC One V] Pranav Sharma (PS):
Which Rom are currently using there are chances this line is missing if u are using a non-sense Rom like cm or any other aosp...
[HTC One V] martijn99:
im using cm10.
[HTC One V] Pranav Sharma (PS):
As is said u won't find that in this Rom even if it were there's ni option in settings or any other app that shows details about your processor its only in sense...
[HTC One V] martijn99:
ow okay, but anyway thanks!

Does the XDA II have voice dial capabilty, like the the Nokia phone.

I have just got my XDAII with Plantronics M2000 bluetooth headset.

Also what SD card do peeps recomend I am shortly going to be putting on TOMTOM 3.

Thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Anubis:
Actually the XDAII does not has a built-in voice dial capability, but don't worry, there are lots of applications can do this for you, the most famous one of them is Microsoft Voice Command, try it, you'll like it, check www.pocketgear.com
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] teddygreen17:
I just installed this ROM and it is great --> [ROM][Jellybean][4.2.2]BeanStalk Build 1.190 {4-15-13}

However, I did notice that even though this my carrier is ATT it shows, 3G, H and H+ symbols instead of 4G.

Also i noticed that my phone model has changed from (i317 mine) to GT-N7105.

Should I not have placed this rom on my phone? Is this because its a cyanogenmod rom 10.1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] roughneckboren:
That is how its supposed to be. 4g on stock ROM is equal to h/h+/3g on your aosp based ROM. Its just showing the true signal. And yes your phone model will show that unless you change it in the build.prop

ROOTBOX on my NOTE 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] borijess:
Dont think thats right. It should show 4g for lte. H and h+ is 3g and 3.5g respectfully.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)

I was giving him the general outline. You are correct. Just trying to put it in laymen's terms. :D

ROOTBOX on my NOTE 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] teddygreen17:
Here's my problem though...i placed a rom on my phone that I thought would work based on what it says in their post.

In your opinion, [Please look at the page / rom details] Should i remove this ROM from my i317 phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] roughneckboren:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] teddygreen17:
I will do that..I am not worried about that as much as the rom changing my Model number. I just wanna make sure it's legit for MY phone model and how i would go about changing it back...im a noob. Any assistance would be great..and thanks for answering on my posts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] roughneckboren:
Yes its legit. The tolte model is for the LTE note 2's. Look on here for editing your build prop file to make it read correct.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] roughneckboren:
This is mine on at&t working perfectly.

ROOTBOX on my NOTE 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] teddygreen17:
Sorry i cannot read your attachment...also do you have the same rom i have?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] roughneckboren:
No. I'm running root box but its based off similar grounds. Its all aosp based. My model number shows exactly what yours does. I feel no need to change it as everything works as it should.

ROOTBOX on my NOTE 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] teddygreen17:

[General Accessories] vectron:
I will be getting Android mini-PC (Android TV) stick, waiting for this one: http://dx.com/p/cozyswan-mk809-ii-a...b-ram-8gb-rom-wi-fi-tf-bluetooth-black-185736 . The purpose was to see how I can convert my older TV into multimedia station for internet and streaming from laptop, etc.. While I'm waiting, I started to think if there are any advantages of connecting it to Note 2? I don't know much about these android-on-a-stick devices to even think how it could be used. I assume it will be a host, so if I connect Note 2 with usb cable (non-OTG) it will be accepted as peripheral device so I can stream pictures, movies, etc. through android-on-a-stick on tv? That does sound kind of redundant since I can probably do the same thing from a stick itself, but I'm also thinking even with Android 4.1 the stick will not have access to Play store and I'm not sure if I will be able to root it.

I just don't know what to expect. I know it should work connecting directly to tv hdmi port (of my cable box hdmi port?), but I want to come up with something cool where I can connect Note 2 to is as well. Probably on the go I can tether this stick to my Note 2 4G connection, and have it as stand-alone mini PC. But if I want to connect it to Note 2 (as a display), would it work if I get HDMI (female) to micro-usb cable?

Anyway, any ideas or thoughts - let me know, even if you think its a stupid idea to begin with. Either way, once I have it and play around with it, I will do some kind of a write up with pictures :)

quad core

Hello, if you're planning on buying an android stick, why invest in a dual core one when the quad core sticks are out, check the link below

http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Tron...188-2G-DDR3-Wifi-Bluetooth-TV-BOX-314524.html

i am not sure about new ways to connect it to the Note 2, but the traditional ways is to puch pictures/videos/music via DLNA

it would be interesting to know whether you can mirror the Note 2 screen to the android stick similar to apple TV
[General Accessories] Double0EK:
The CozySwan is basically an android device. Think of it like a tablet without a screen. So basically you'll just need to attach it to your tv (via hdmi) and you're ready to go (Well, it might need a mouse or keyboard to operate it). So attaching it to the Note 2 would be redundant. You can use the Note 2 just like the CozySwan. Attach it to your tv (via hdmi) and use either a bluetooth mouse or keyboard. If you get the smart dock then there are more possibilities.

Check out this video.

Thanks guys! I guess no other special trick with that stick other than what I have already expected. In theory this $48 android stick can replace functionality of $99 smart dock and add more stuff to it (wireless kbd/mouse instead of bt), etc. I guess will play around with it once I get it.

Tmart mini HDMI 2 AV converter

I decided to take my setup one step further to see how I can convert my dinosaur TV into smart TV. I still have to try out that app to use Note 2 as a tablet remote controller, but in this review I would like to talk about taking my previous setup of Android on a stick and turning an old tube tv into a smart tv with a help of this little gadget: http://www.tmart.com/MINI-HDMI-to-AV-CVBS-to-RCA-Converter_p163569.html

It's hard to believe TVs without HDMI input ever existed lol!!! But if you have one in your house which has lasted your for 10+ years and still working great, you are stuck with AV inputs as the only mean of connecting any peripheral devices. So if you got yourself a shiny new smart phone with HDMI dock or have Android-on-a-stick device to turn your tv into a big screen tablet - there is NOTHING you can do without converting HDMI into Analog audio/video. This kind of converter box becoming extinct, just like all those TVs, so its really hard to find one for a reasonable price. The one I got is the cheapest I found for about $40 shipped in US or internationally from Tmart.com. If you are in US, make sure to select "us warehouse" shipping from location, that one ships from NJ. Otherwise, you gonna end up waiting for awhile if it ships from HK.

I was a little nervous with this one because I saw an output with a typical red/white audio and yellow for video but video said "CVBS". But it worked flawlessly. First of all, it's a tiny little box I weighted to be 40g (1.4 oz) and about 60mm x 55mm x 20mm. You get full size HDMI input, AV RCA connector output, and PAL/NTSC switch for your video signal (so you are covered for both US and EU), and mini-usb input for power. It comes with mini-usb to USB cable in case if you don't have one considering everything switched to micro-usb, and also instruction booklet. As you can see, plugged in my Android stick, hook up wires going to TV, switched to NTSC and thats ALL! You DO NOT even need to power it up with external cable!!!!!!! I can only guess it gets its power from HDMI pins of Android stick since those are powered up. Of course, we are talking about HD widescreen output intended for a tablet going to 4:3 ancient tv so the image is squeezed on the sides. But it has nothing to do with a conversion, but rather with different "display resolution".

I know in this day'n'age of HD TVs it's hard to believe there is TV without HDMI input. But if you still have an old TV without HDMI input and don't want to throw it away, you can breath in a new life for $40 ;) Remember, you can just plugin your Note 2 or any other smart phone with usb to hdmi adapter or from your multimedia cradle.

Here are the pics:
[General Accessories] xartic12:
Those boxes are handy, especially connecting an older projector into a ps3. How is the performance of the stick? Give it a few benchmark runs. Thinking about getting one of these myself.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Which benchmark app do you want me to run?

Yes, the box definitely comes handy. I seen also another one, I believe on Tmart.com as well where you convert AV back to HDMI. This way you can connect old WII console to a new tv. I was very pleased that no external power was required to this box, and it stayed cool (no overheating).

Still need to get around to try using Note 2 as a remote tablet controller. That would be ultimate!!!
[General Accessories] xartic12:
3d mark and antutu would be appreciated.
[General Accessories] server5:
Been using the Minix G4 version of what you bought. Its been the best thing for my smart(less) plasma since hooking it up! Rooted and running a custom jellybean rom and havnt looked back since!

I credit Sony PS3 DRM for forcing me to put an Android box on my plasma. I have never been happier since. Thanks Sony!

As for using the Note as a remote, grab yourelf a copy of Droidmote - both (client and server).
[General Accessories] vectron:
I looked Droidmore app and it seems that Client side app is free while Server side app is paid. Not a problem, but Server side requires a root which I wasn't planning to do. So, I went to TabletRemote and it DID the trick!!!! It took a bit to configure. Need to install the same app on your Note 2 and Android stick connected to tv. Both have to be on wifi. Then, in Connection need to make Android stick to be Discoverable while on Note 2 scan for devices. Once they will auto-discover each other and display a pop-up with a matching code - click on pair up and you are done. The app on the phone is arranged as a remote in portrait or a game-pad controller in landscape. As a remote you have 4-direction arrow control with Enter - this will enable you to step through icons, folders, screens on a system hosted by Android stick. You also get menu, return, and home buttons, as well as search and keyboard (for typing) buttons. Plus you get full multimedia control with play/pause, forward, back, and volume control.

Very impressive and it's free!
[General Accessories] Double0EK:
That's good to know. Thanks for updating.
[General Accessories] LuvinN1:
I have the latest quad core stick and these things are great. Vectron have you rooted or updated your firmware to 4.2?

Not sure about vectrons model but apparently these sticks supports phone mirroring now if you are running the latest firmware on your phone. All the sticks mk##, QC## are the same.

To anyone who wants the official remote app you can find it here:

Firmware upgrades and root can be found here:

And if you are interested in an air mouse/keyboard this one works great. I must say this remote works much better than my lg and Samsung remote which came with my smart TV.

Hey I just bought this naughty little gadget and very excited to use it. Quick question though, will I need to purchase a wireless/wired mouse to set it up or..? I wanted to install droidmote and use my Note 2 as a wireless mouse, but then I realized that I will need something to navigate to playstore and install DM app. I just never had to use Android Tv's so pardon me folks.
[General Accessories] karlonicolas:
you can use a wired mouse temporarily. There is a full-sized USB OTG that should detect an ordinary mouse, to install the server. you can use the onscreen keyboard to make the purchase of droidmote, as the server is a paid app.
