[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AssRider:
I confirm that FlashFox is extremely unstable with swf files (unlike UC browser v9.2) but, if you insist, it can play most, if not all, swf files.

Of course, you can toggle the keyboard and install GamePad for free (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fishstix.gameboard&hl=en_GB) or the £2 GameKeyboard + (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.locnet.gamekeyboard2).

I've personally tested, just minutes ago, GameKeyboard + with local swf, in FlashFox and it works. For movement I had to use the right (not left) virtual thumbstick. With minor tweaks it should work like a charm The game was playable, although I can see it used more in slow-paced games, like Strategies or RPGs rather than Action games.

For GamePad I have to do some tweaks/settings which are not on my list right now. The standard/default D-pad is not working.

With FlashFox you have to insist in opening a swf file. For example, I used it to open a local swf file but it didn't work. I tried it on the next one and that one worked. I immediately exit and retried the previous one, that didn't work seconds ago and... now it worked.

I recently discovered this browser so I know little about it. My belief is that at least one of the previous versions should have been stable. I see this all the time with browsers. I am very, very reticent in updating them so I recommend you the same.

UC Browser v9.2 plays local .swf files in full-screen mode without the need of creating a html file. If you do the same now it acts like it's trying to download the file, not to play it.

Steps, using UC Browser v9.2 and Root Explorer 3.0.1*:

1) Use Root Explorer to browse to the local file;

2) Long tap the .swf file;

3) Select "Open With"

4) Go to the "General" tab

5) Select "Open as Text"

6) From the "Complete action using" window select UC Browser

7) Tap the "Just once" button and you're ready to play

*Note that you should have Adobe Flash for Android 4.0+ already installed. Also, you may be required to insist, by refreshing the page if it doesn't work on first try (it usually happens for big size files).

You can use other file browsers, with the condition that "Open as Text" doesn't use a proprietary plugin to open the file as a real text, with gibberish characters.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vikraminside:
OK here is the trick I used

1. Side load (method tutorial in Google) flash apk for dolphin browser

2. Install flashfox browser

3 Install hacker’s keyboard and select 5 lines layout for portrait and landscape

4 Configure language and input mode settings for input mode switch go to advanced settings for experts in default keyboard if required (optional step)

5 Load local swf in open as text mode using file explorer like ES (thanks assrider) in flashfox browser

6 Click Menu Toggle Keyboard

Enjoy. It is slow but playable :)

Cool friend. Overlapping posts simultaneously. Both our methods work. Yes flashfox stability an issue. Gamepad stuff was great. You saved many people's searches in Google he he he

Can't find thanks button in browser so using xda app to thank you.

I see Android L posts god knows flashy things there :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AssRider:
Thanks for the feedback and for your suggestions! Unfortunately, I think this thread does not have good visibility so it can only be found by a Google search (like I did in the first place :)). Also, it's possible that there are other underground threads in which this problem got a solution already.

I wanted to add that GameKeyboard + can be brought up anytime (recommend to use it in UC Browser 9.2) by pressing the volume up button.

"How to call up GameKeyboard

- enable "Settings->Use HotKey" then use [Vol. Up]/[Mouse Middle] as hotkey

- enable "Settings->Use Hotspot" then tap on hotspot screen corner"

I recommend you read the entire description of this beautiful app.

There is no need for the buggy FlashFox after all. Not to mention that in UC Browser you can play even fast paced games.

Probably a stupid question, but I found this charger in the parts box and need to be sure. Correct plug to fit into the XDA1 cradle, +/- are oriented correctly, 5V output, but it's rated at 2A instead of the 1A OEM spec. Any harm in using this one?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
If you are sure the plug is wired correctly it should be ok, but other pda's use the same plug such as ipaq and it is wired differently and will probably kill your xda.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] brtb:
Doesn't have the PDA connection plug, just the usual cylindrical connector, that fits into the jack on the back of the cradle. No electrical problems with the 2A capacity as long as I make sure the electrons flow in the right direction?

Hi guys,

I just started to use my S4 on yesterday so i have few questions to ask.

1)do i have to charge the phone for 8 hour.?

2)what is the purpose of the animation?

3)my batterry seems drop very fast i just fbing, net and msg in the same time within 1 hour it drop from 90% to 63% is this normal?

Sorry for my bad english

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Kremata:
After logging to Dropbox from your S4 check your email, you might have to reply to the Dropbox email before the 50Gb is apply.

Honestly I don't know if the AT&T S4 will receive or not the 50Gb of Dropbox. This guide was intended for all S4 so it is possible that some carrier versions don't have this options. This said I don't see why AT&T would block you from getting it.

1- No, that is for old battery type, new Li-ion battery don't need this. Once your phone is charged it will automatically stop charging so it's useless to leave it on charge for more.

BUT

you might want to turn off your phone once it says 100% and let it charge again(while the phone is OFF) until the "Big Battery" is 100%. This will help re-calibrate the battery.(There is a lot of debate on this to say if it really help or not but one thing I know for sure is, it can't only help it cannot be a bad thing)

2- Animations are there only to make the phone look good.

3- I would need more details but dropping 27% n 1 hour doesn't seem normal. You might want to check those two excellent thread.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolleke1:
The easy way is to download One X One Click. Google it or search the forum. Put all the files you need e.g. unlock token, recovery and kernel in the appropriate folders. Put the custom rom on the sd of your device. Select the right options in the program and let it do it's work. Else what was suggested earlier. Search the forums for tips and info.

Hello i was going to buy the Asus padfone 2 when i saw it on the internet but after i saw the tablet resolution and the HTC One i decided to buy HTC One with a Nexus 7 but my question is the nexus 7 laggy for me i play a lot of games like Dead trigger N.O.V.A 3 and Shadowgun and Fifa 13

so i will install like 80+ games is it laggy for this kind of user???:confused:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JetOhmNet:
Well there's no lag in games like Shadow gun and ravensword. It can pretty much handle every android game I throw at it and also emulates ps1 and N64 very well.

---------- Post added at 03:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 AM ----------

I should also note that N.O.V. A 3 runs spectacularly. I'm running smooth rom and Franco kernel which helps a lot too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackagent77:
what i mean is not if it laggs in the game or not i mean after installing all this games will it lagg when am using chrome or any other thing
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Playron:
I would say that the Nexus 7 is not a perfect gaming device, and it is definitely not "lag-free" when you are stock. When I was stock I also figured that chrome was a bit laggy, so I recommend dolphin browser.

If you have any browser opened, it should not affect the gaming too much, but it is optimal to have none apps opened. Android have a really good multitasking system, so it should be no problem actually.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JetOhmNet:
Well the n7 isn't going to have any more than 32gb. So it would be pretty impossible to install 80+ games on it, and as with any device, it will slow down substantially once your hard drive is almost full. I wouldn't suggest buying it if you need all of those games installed at once.

Will this cause any issues flashing custom roms and recoverys?

Also will flashing custom roms affect the radio frequencies in any way? There is already a known issue with the UK version of the One not working on Australian Carriers 850mhz 3g band.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] expertzero1:
check if its U/UL, if its one of those, you can flash a international rom.

Flashing a rom does not affect the radio. You can flash a kernel from aroma if a rom supports it.

Hello,

i'm having some questions about my S3..

i'm reading people have camera issues on 4.2.2 and a guy said, yes if your device has been rooted a long time ago then your 'firmware files' and 'bootloader' which do not come with custom roms are outdated.

Well my S3 came out of the box and I rooted it and put CWM on it, and then I flashed OmegaRom..

Do i need to do something? How can I update those things? and also does CWM come with different versions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetalG:
I guess its a noob question
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
If you rooted when you first got the device and flashed a ROM, you will still have the original bootloader, but this is nothing to do with the camera.

As to what "firmware files" mean, I couldn't tell you. Sounds liek someone talking about something they don't understand to me.

Yes, there are lots of versions of CWM (6.0.3.1 is latest) and there are other recoveries too.
