[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricerocket00:
I made myself a custom car dock for my GS3 so I could use my Titan Kraken case modified to take an extended battery. The setup works great, but I've noticed something very strange. I have an NFC tag in the dock to launch Carhome Ultra. I was noticing that on my 30 drive home from work, my battery (which is charging in the new dock) would discharge about 2%. I was using a generic micro USB cable plugged into my Ravpower DC adapter, which maxes out at 2.1 amps, which is plenty. As an experiment, yesterday on the way home, the first 15 minutes I had the generic cable plugged in. After it dropped a percentage point, I unplugged the generic cable and plugged in a cable I got with a Mophie that I had. The last 15 minutes of the trip it went up 2 percentage points. Keep in mind, same DC adapter, same phone & battery and same apps running.

Can anyone explain why this is? I have experienced the same drop with at least 2 other cables. The Mophie cable and one other that I have will 'keep up' with the power demands and actually charge the battery too.

Just wondering what I should look for when buying USB cables in the future.

S3 screen is totally dead including touch. We cannot enter the PIN to unlock the device due to dead screen. We need to get the pictures from the internal SDcard/built-in storage.

We tried booting into recovery mode (we used another S3 to test the timing since we can't see the screen). Once in recovery mode we used the Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit, it recognizes the device/serial number but trying to pull data it says "waiting for USB debugging" - how can we get past this?? I even tried with a working S3 and even in recovery mode it still says waiting for USB debugging.

How can we get to the files?

Thank you,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Without usb debugging turned on, you won't be able that way (or any ADB based way).

You can try to get in recovery and mounting your sd card. (will have to use you other S3 to know how many times you need to go down).

One thing though, even with the PIN to unlock, when the phone is on and plugged to the pc, shouldn't you be able to see the storage?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] androidnoob10:
damn PIN

A computer can see the device but when you go into it no drives/shares appear until you enter the PIN in the phone, as soon as you enter the PIN the storage appears with all pics and such.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Ah ok. Well flashing a ROM will remove the PIN lock so that's another option (stock included).

Never tried, but just a thought: what if you connect USB keyboard through micro USB port, then enable Debugging.

Hey All - I'm trying to move my blinkfeed homescreen as my right-most homescreen. Sense 5 doesn't seem to enable me to rearrange my home screen position... Anyone have a solution for this?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] syaoran68:
Blinkfeed is defaulted to the left side. You can't move it only the other screens are movable. Yes I know it sucks I already tried.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ahskeetz:
Ok no big deal that blinkfeed is defaulted to the left side. The issue is that I can't rearrange my other home screens either. If I want to move my home screen over, Id need to drop it and recreate it on a fresh blank screen!

Are you sure you can rearrange your other screens?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] CJohnson1073:
You can't rearrange the screens at this time but you can designate any one of the five possible screens as your home screen. I've been running Sense 5 for about a month and I've gotten used to having the left most screen as my homescreen. I'm hoping the Dev community for T-Mobile is as good as those for Sprint. If so, I'm sure there will be a fix that will allow us to have more than 5 screens and give us the option to rearrange them.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ahskeetz:
Ok thanks guys. I'll have to try it out and see if I can adjust.. I'm use to having my work stuff to on the left screens, my personal stuff on the right screens.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] J-Hop2o6:
Just hold, then slide your screen up that you want as a "Home" screen (with the added panels/homescreens).

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Mikkel:
All,

I recently purchased a nice new iMate Pocket PC Phone edition.

I am using it with a BlueTooth headset and everything is working ok. -Just not for very long.

Today, my iMate died of battery exhaustion for the 2nd time in 2 weeks. I was on the phone for a total of about 70 minutes throughout the day, the device was charging all nigt and was at 100% this morning. At around 3 PM the device died.

So... I am very disappointed in this lack of battery capacity. Does this sound normal to you? I am using the device from work, I usually have 100% signal strength there. Could this be caused by the BT headset?

Thanks :-)

/Mikkel
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] noviur:
Did you install the latest Bluetooth Tools? If yes - it has power drain problem.

I am having my i-mate since November 2003 and it works for all day for me (a lot of calls, GPRS etc)

Otherwise you have a problem with faulted battery.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Redwolf:
Try turning the brightness down on the backlight in Start / Settings / System / Backlight

When i first got mine it only lasted about 50 minutes - with the backlight down on the lowest settings its now 5.5 hours ! :lol:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BRosenow:
Also, as has been said here many times, if you are not going to be doing IR file transfers, etc. - turn off IR. Tap Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Beam and de-select "Receive all incoming beams." This will also save a great deal of power.
[One (M7) Accessories] ungarisch:
Hello all,

I just purchased the ONE and as part of a promotion from T-MO US they gave me a free car adapter. I would like to hardwire the car adapter to my car, but the connection cable they gave me was just a Micro-USB charging cable.

I do not want to have to dock the phone then have to insert a 3.5mm headphone cable into the top of the phone and have wires running all over the inside the car.

I can modify the bootom of the dock to accept an MHL cable instead of Micro-USB, but I need to find a product that break off MHL into USB (hardwire for charging) and 3.5mm headphone jack that I can then plug into the back of my factory stereo behind the dashboard, thus only having to dock the phone and not have to plug anything else into it.

Any suggestions on such a product?

what can I do to fix this? does anyone know what happened?

maybe you can try reset the phone data and root again, I have no problem to root 4.1.2 with motochopper, or if your phone is unlocked,and try to flash a cwm recovery and install a cm10, is a very fast rom.

greetings *, this behaviour of the stock mail app annoys the cr4p out of me, being used to the sense 3 behaviour. Is it possible to have the mail app:

always display the colored vertical bars left to a mail in multi account view?

print read messages not in bold anymore (as any sane mail client does)?

As said, have the One now for a day, and yes, it runs smoothly. But not having those __nice__ Mail/caldendar/contact widgets anymore is a bummer. I'm thinking of returning it, moreover, as I now have to use the frekking full blown facebook app. And blinkfeed just blows.

in any case, maybe someone can help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RogerSC:
I don't get a lot of text messages, mostly with my bank, Paypal, and my family, sometimes no text messages in a day. Lately I've been seeing the "Messaging Service" (associated with text messaging, I think) running just about every time I open my phone, whether I've had text messages or not. I usually stop it, but I'm wondering if this is common, or why this might just start happening "out of the blue"? My inclination is to just let it run and see how much CPU it actually uses, but what's bothering me is that this really just started happening a few days ago. Can't correlate it with anything I've done, unless it would be installing the Lean Kernel (see below).

For context, I've been using ClearROM 6 r2 for some time now, and started using the Lean Kernel 2.2 recently to see how it would affect my battery life. Using LK seems to be helping my battery life, idling battery usage has gone from 1.5-2% of battery per hour to about 1% of battery per hour, which is fine with me *smile*. My phone does idle some (I use my tablet much more than the phone), and having a lower baseline battery usage seems to be a step forward. By the way, my phone stays in deep sleep state 90%+ of the time over the long term, that's usually the first thing I look at when something new happens to see if the new thing is keeping my phone awake *smile*. Having the Messaging Service running hasn't affected that, as far as I can tell.

Anyone else experience this and have any comments about potential causes? Or is one of those things I should just ignore and let Android do its thing without my interference *smile*?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] priddyma:
The service has to be running to catch the messages I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RogerSC:
I'm not sure whether it has to be running or not. I suspect that if it isn't running and a text message comes in, it will be started when needed to handle text messages, since when it isn't running it is kept with the cached processes. But since I don't get that many text messages, I don't think that there's much value to me in having it running all the time, I'm fine with having it cached, which has been working fine for the text messages that I do get.

Guess I'll just keep doing what I've been doing...stop it when I see it running, which moves it to the "cached process" group.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] alus415:
I just got a HTC One on T mobile and waiting to port my number from ATT but the data speeds using speedtest are abysmal less than 500kb and sometimes not even connecting at all. I decided to just test the browser to see if real usage makes a difference not just in the speedtest app and same result web pages taking too long to load and sometimes time out because of slow connection.

I'm in Daly City/San Francisco area, before deciding to switch I did my research and Tmobile coverage shows I should be in "excellent" 4g speeds here where I live.

Before I run back to the store and return it and stay with AT&T , is there something I can do to check the correct APN settings or what else can i do ? I'm disappointed so far, I wanted to try T mobile because of their no contract and cheaper plan but at these data speeds it's just not worth it.

Thanks for any advice / help.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] J-Hop2o6:
Been seeing great speeds here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2247966

But try out a demo phone in the store and test the speed. It might be the phone, or the tower (temporarily) you're connected to. SF is a market with great speed. I've seen speed tests from ppl around. Definitely better the AT&T's HSPA+ speeds.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] hammysink:
last night I posted great speeds, today I'm down to 2g although in a different geographical area.

earlier today I lost all data connectivity, it was something wrong with TMO's system. support had to "hook something up" behind the scenes for me to get it back.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Update: I noticed that the phone was defaulting to 2g. No matter what, it stayed there.

Using tips from this thread: http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/37862

I went to Settings > Mobile Data > Network Mode and switched it to WCDMA Only.

The data connection re-set and went to 4g.

Repeating the above step, I went back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto, and the phone reset data and got back on 4g.

I think this all had something to do with this morning's outage.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] arsalann24:
Tmobile tends to have outages sometimes, a few days ago the network in Dallas was down and I was getting horrible speeds. I say that you wait a bit and see if there is any improvement in the next couple of days. Also maybe call in to make sure that your sim is fully activated.

Thinking about making the switch from Sprint (EVO LTE) to T-Mobile and the HTC One. I'm in the Seattle area (Federal Way/Milton) and commute back and forth to downtown Seattle (5th and Pike) every week day. How's the coverage and speed along the I5 corridor? I've looked at the sensorly data and it looks solid, but just really wanting to get a real world feel from a user.

Thanks!

I was already getting LTE in the factoria mall area near T-Mobile head quarters. I was getting speeds around 25Mbps down. I think we are close to lte roll out across all Seattle area, I spoke to a T-Mobile rep in Bellevue store and he says it should be sometime in May.

Glad to hear :victory:
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] chakathebird:
I and my wife recently purchased One's moving from Sprint to T-Mobile. We live in Oakland. Our speeds are similarly slow. Actually, in the week I've had the phone I've rarely had speeds much higher than 400kbs down. Strangely, upload speeds are usually three times faster. This is from inside my apartment where I typically have 2 bars of 4g...three bars every now and then. These speeds are horrible. I called T-Mobile who responded by dispatching an engineer to the tower I use. Within 24 hrs the speeds almost doubled however T-Mobile's feedback was there were no issues. But after a couple of days speeds had declined back to an avg of 350kbs down with upload speeds still 3x download speeds. In my experience, whenever upload speeds are consistently and significantly faster than download speeds and the download speeds are far below what is expected, then either there is a problem with the network or the network is being actively reconfigured.

Assuming I might just be in a "dead" spot due to geography I decided to test speeds in I my neighborhood as I walk my dog. There are no tall buildings or anything I could see to cause much interference. On my street the speed was about the same as inside. About 1/4 mile from my apt the signal was very strong lighting all 5 bars...but speeds only increased slightly. Throughout the area I walked (1/2 circle around my home with radius of 3/4 mile) the signal strength ranged from 2-3 bars fluctuating to 5 solid bars. But there was not much correlation between data download speed and number of bars. In some places 4g speed was as fast as 10Mbs and a bit down the block it could be low as 400Kbs. The speeds were duplicateable...meaning in front of one house speed might be 5Mbs and a speeds in front of a house say 6 houses down the block speed may be 1Mbs. Those speeds would be pretty much the same when I returned later on another walk.

The most surprising discovery is there is a narrow area about 5 houses wide that had LTE. In that small area the speeds were slightly greater than 20Mbs down and 10Mbs up.

The results lead me to believe T-Mobile is actively fumbling with their towers to get LTE quickly, yet attempting to do so as quietly as possible. Due to my disappointment at the painfully slow data speeds I would consider returning the One's firing T-Mobile and moving on. However, the discovery of LTE 1 1/2 blocks from my home AND MAYBE EVEN MORE IMPORTANTLY no real alternative for an "unlimited" data plan that makes financial sense to me (Sprint is nolonger an option since their network is almost unusable)...has me pretty excited as to what my T-Moble experience will be. I hope they aim that LTE antenna in my direction.

@chakathebird:

Wow, I'm in Hayward which is not too far from Oakland and I also switched from Sprint (which is just awful in the Bay Area these days). On Sprint I was lucky to get over 400kbps on 3G and I couldn't even get 4G LTE. (Although 4G WiMax on my old GS2 was fantastic for me). On T-Mobile 4G HSPA I get 8Mbps down / 3 Mbps up on my HTC One and similar speeds on my Nexus 4. With those great speeds I normally just leave LTE turned off on the One, but I did do a speed test with LTE turned on and got 11Mbps down / 6Mbps up.

I work in the South Bay, but sometimes head over the bridge to San Francisco and travel throughout the Bay Area. Everywhere I go I get similarly fantastic speeds on T-Mobile. So if you are getting such slow speeds there is definitely something wrong with either your phone or the tower in your neighborhood. I'd take the phone to other nearby towns and see if you're getting similar bad speeds. If so, I'd have T-Mobile exchange the phone as it may be defective.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] drazyw:
I'm in the Northern VA area and there is some LTE. If I'm not driving around and sitting in one place, I can stay on LTE, but driving around, it's bouncing in and out of LTE which just shuts off data all together. So i turned off LTE till they get more towers updated.

On a side note, the radio in the HTC one seems really nice. At my house I can get 13Mb/s down on the HTC but I can only get 6Mb/s down on my data stick sitting beside me. Both connected at HSPA+.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] rfn379:
I am not even running on LTE here in NJ and I am still impressed with the speed. It actually comes pretty close to my friend's GS3 on Verizon with LTE.

That being said...I still can't wait to have LTE here in the NYC area. If HSPA+ is this good then LTE should be ridiculous.
[Java for Android App Development] toothpick5:
I I have looked all over for an app to do this but have found nothing. I am ready to start writing my own, but want to make sure it doesn't exist already? Seems hard to believe no one has done this yet!?

say i need to copy/paste listing descriptions from evernote into ebay... I want a QUICK trigger, maybe double tapping home or something that shows a simple app list in a transparent overlay.

Pick the ebay app and it loads. After pasting the title there, double tap home again and instantly, it flips back to Evernote where I can repeat this process with the description and other fields. Maybe the volume key could flip between the two apps, or better yet, a swipe.

Seeing how I use that technique a million times a day, it would save countless hours over all the other task manager types that always load a display of all (or none) of the recent apps when triggered. I don't know about everybody else, but there's a 90% chance that if I want to quickly flip to another app, it's because I intend to quickly flip right back in a few seconds.

This is such a vital function for me on computers that I dedicate a whole button on my mouse to pressing Alt+Tab so I can flip back and forth very fast. I have become very spoiled by that technique and can't stand doing work on Android just because of its annoyingly slow and painful "task manager" if you can even call it that. TIA!
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
I am sorry, but you cannot override the home button.

You could try one of the various side bar apps though.
[Java for Android App Development] toothpick5:
It could be a swipe gesture or anything that requires only ONE step. I don't want to bring up an app selection list on every switch, but just the first time. Maybe a notification bar button could bring up the selector, then a side swipe gesture could flip back and forth between the two apps? It should be simple to write this. I just cant believe that it hasn't already been done? Surely someone knows of an existing app?
