Ha ha ha lets turn off the animation efects and this will make the phone faster...This make phone more ugly because you torn off visual efects,and nothing about overall procesor and work speed.NOTHING!
[Galaxy S 4 General] krabman:
Wrong. I prefer the look without the animations and it does in fact make the phone much more responsive which is all good because lag sucks and that fix along with killing the S-voice on the home key makes the phone a whole lot better to live with.
[Galaxy S 4 General] benbird7:
I prefer them off. Much snappier. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] barisahmet:
Lol why do you even buy GS4 if you are going to close all visual effects?

THANKS

Another dumb thread..
[Galaxy S 4 General] winwiz:
temporary fix until samsung pull their finger out to sort out this ****ty lag

annoying and embarrassing the same when showing the phone off!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerodeath:
Idk about you, but I rather sacrifice on animation than lag.
[Galaxy S 4 General] blahblahyoutoo:
the guy is really ugly.

can't really pinpoint it. his nose? the shape of his head?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Euthye:
How's this relevant, unless you were hoping for some quick relief while picking up tech tips?
[Galaxy S 4 General] skibadee:
Hmmm could be a long (infinite) wait if the s3 is anything to go by. I'm getting home screen redraws now too. I really thought having 2 gb ram would have sorted that.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Shammyh:
I'm glad this guy figured it out.

What's really interesting is that despite the tons of other threads about disabling transitions in developer options, he someone managed to make his phone 10 times faster than all of those! And it's even quoted in the thread title like the absolutely factual factoid that it is! Win!

Plus, as an added bonus, rather than simply making a duplicate thread with text, that takes only a few seconds to disregard, this is a link to Youtube... Quality all around.
[Galaxy S 4 General] winwiz:
Lol. it certainly isn't me in the video :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 General] winwiz:
thanks buddy, don't forget to click the thanks button

Gives me a deep sense of joy when I am able to assist my fellow XDA colleagues :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] StuartTheFish:
LOL. :D

Who knew disabling something can make it faster? Another tip for you then which you may not be aware of. If you want to improve battery life, use it as little as possible. Hope that helps.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DDN24:
It's mind blowing how many people actually complains that the s4 lags!

my s4 is quick and snappy. Stock touchwiz qualcom version.

Even with air gestures and s voice enabled, there is no sign of lag or stutter.

I need to camera API of imate to develop some applications.

Does anyone know where to get it?

and any ways to import camera.dll?

thanks!! :oops:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mcaizsb5:
Camera API

You're not the only one trying to get hold of the camera API for this device, I think there are quite a few of us that are trying. I sent an e-mail off today to HTC and to O2, to see if I could get a response.

I believe Microsoft are also now aware of this problem. The last I heard was that HTC have a problem with the camera API and that they had e-mailed a copy of this to someone back in May, but it didn't work.

I am hoping that they will e-mail me the latest stuff... we shall see... If I manage to get hold of it I will be posting it EVERYWHERE... Including on here and on my website:

www.ip-ms.co.uk

Let me know if you have any success!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
you can disassemble camera.dll to determine IOCTLs that are used to communicate with it (a CAM1: device). Or decompile HTCCamera.dll, it exports some interesting functions like "Camera_GetPreviewImage".

You may try to contact www.iastyle.com, as far as I see they have developed camera application for Imate.

The other idea is to take .NET CF camera class and to try to use it in Imate. Or to download camera SDK from HP hoping that ti is compatible with imate. You may convert all references to SDIOCam.dll to HTCCamera.dll.

Look at http://www.bistia.com/en/prod-faq.html#cam

O2 ActiveSync, Development & deployment with VS2003

O2 have been of very little help. They do have an SDK from HTC however they are not allowed to release it as they are under an NDA.

I guess we will have to continue with the quest of hacking into the dll's and getting in that way.

On a slightly different note, can someone help me out with a deployment problem with my XDA 2.

I am running VS.Net 2003, with SQL Server CE 2.0 & SP3 and SQL Server 2000 SP3, Active sync 3.7.1 and PPC 2003 ROM verson 1.03.00 USA

The device connects to active sync but I can't deploy to the PDA in VS.Net It works in emulation. I can't just copy the cab files coz I need the SQL CE management tools to be deployed with the application as it is the first time of deploying a SQL CE app to the device.

I have tried removing proxyport reg file and re-placing it... I have uninstalled VS.Net, Active sync and everything else and re installed it. I have even done a complete new install on a totally clean pc following the MS guidlines on the order of installation. Still no joy!

What more can I do? I have also tried installing with IRdA as well... this didn't work either but i could still active sync with it.

Help is definately required on this one guys!

Many thanks

Re: O2 ActiveSync, Development & deployment with VS2003

the only thing that you have not tried is upgrading your ROM. Try it, but backup it first.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TarekElsakka:
Hello there

Did anyone here actually try one of those screen protectors that claim to be impact resistant? The reason I am asking is because a couple of days ago I accidentally hit my phone while sleeping and it fell on its screen (unfortunately the flip wasn't closed, as in the screen had nothing above it, although I don't think it would have made much difference) and the LCD broke from the inside and basically died. I replaced it at Samsung Service Center and it cost me an arm and a leg so I am searching for accessories that can protect the screen. I don't want to invest in an Otterbox cover or something as I'd like to keep the flip cover which is awesome, which is why the impact resistant screen protector seems like a viable option IF it actually does what it claims. I Googled it and I found a lot of videos showing how it works but then again I don't really trust most of the videos I've watched as there is a lot of controversy to them.

I was buying a regular screen protector yesterday and the guy told me about those impact resistant ones (very expensive to say the least) but I didn't want to go for it before I ask and research.

Thanks for your time.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mj56gt:
I'm getting a used Nexus 4. I'm new to the phone. So how can I check whether it's unlocked or not? Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrozon:
All N 4s are carrier unlocked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
If you mean sim lock then all Nexus 4s come sim unlocked. If you mean the bootloader then reboot the phone and if it's unlocked then an unlocked padlock will appear beneath the Google logo on boot.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mj56gt:
Thanks a lot for the kind help! Yes, I meant to ask the bootloader unlocking. Sorry for the dumb questions:

What does the unlocked padlock look like?

Can I root the phone without unlocking the bootloader?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
you cant miss it, its at the bottom of the screen at the google logo, looks just like a padlock. if it's still locked, nothing will appear at the bottom, only the google logo in the center.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
It looks exactly like an unlocked padlock :p Once you get the phone it'll be pretty obvious. No, you can't root the phone with a locked bootloader but being a Nexus device it's trivial to unlock it. Check out this guide, it has everything you need to know.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mj56gt:
Really appreciate everyone for the great help! Going to play with the phone tonight...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lucid420:
So I was got my s3 awhile back and rooted it and ran Clean bean without any problems, well after those annoying system update messages started to get to me I decided I wanted to try and new rom and update my phone a bit as I would be leaving the country and wanted my phone updated. So I decided to flash slimbeam , It went off without a hitch. Only problem was I could not figure out how to get Titanium backup to restore all my contacts and app data. I saved all the backup files on my computer and even after putting them in the Titanium backup directory it would not let me do it. Anyway.....I decided to try and use the titanium backup program that lets you extract the data from a nandroid backup and flash it in recovery. I forgot to put it on my internal card when doing so and when I did my wipe I deleted it (epic facepalm) so I have to reflash cleanbean go back into my phone and make the .zip file to flash...

So I got tired and went to bed before flashing anything else, when I wake up. My phone is stuck on the samsung boot image screen. I try starting only to get the same thing. So I boot to CWS recovery and try to restore one of my nandroid backups. I accidentally hit backup to external sd and it started to run a backup, thenn my car charger came unplugged and the phone died....thinking it would just make that specific nandroid corrupt I thought nothing of it. So I reboot to CWS recovery again and actually try to do a restore with my oldest nandroid, But I get the error "Error updating /system" and error updating "/data".....I tried multiple backups that I have, none of them work and all produce that message.. 'm fairly new to this, What Am I doing wrong? I really love this site and all you guys do and I will be forever greatful of any help you guys can give me. I leave the country for Mexico in 2 days and I cant afford to pay the $150 to get my phone warrantied from sprint!

Thanks in advance, and sorry for spelling/grammar mistakes (at work, not suppose to be on here)

-Lucid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Ok Lucid, stay calm.

First off, never do any work in Recovery without a fully charged phone. You're just asking for trouble if you're relying on the cable being plugged in.

I've never had good luck with trying to restore data in TiBu from a nandroid backup.

I'm not going to go into how to make your backups work. I'm honestly more concerned with just getting your phone back into working order.

This thread has the most current Stock Rom in TAR form

. Odin instructions can be found in

this post

within that thread.

After you're back to 100% stock, unrooted, you can follow the

rooting guide

to gain root back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lucid420:
THANKS

Thanks man! Most appreciated! You just relieved a large amount of stress! I'll pay it forward!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Do what he said, I can vouch that restoring data through tibu from a nandroid has never worked for me either. If you backed up your contacts with Google you can just export them into a file (either .csv or .xml i forget) and then import that into your contacts

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
And after looking through the

sextape forums thread

a bit more, you don't actually have to reroot, just use the following TAR file:

They also have really good instructions for the Odin work on there.

Hope you get it working!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lucid420:
GOT IT! Thanks for the help man, worked like a charm. Even learned a thing or two :D .....So can you tell me how I get my stuff back using titanium backup? I got the backup files on my computer and I'm flashing a rom as I type this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Here is a link to a post

where I talked about Tianium Backup and what not to restore. It should be fairly informative.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
In TiBu for SMS and call logs hit menu from the main screen and backup data as XML, select save locally when it's done. Move the xml files to external SD if you're gonna flash a 4.2.2 rom, flash new rom move the xmls back to internal, go to tibu, same menu, restore from xml and select which one you want to restore. It'll open a quasi file explorer, locate the corresponding xml for the option you chose(call log, SMS, wifi, bookmarks) and select it. It will restore the data via XML and you'll have all your call logs, sms, bookmarks and wifi accesspoints back like you never left your previous rom.

For those still have unlimited data:

1. Yes, without any problem

2. No, Verizon caught me

For those do tethering, how much data (roughly) do you consume monthly from tethering?

I heard Verizon will terminate the unlimited data if you get caught. Is this the case?

last summer when we used tethering the most, was maybe 20-30GB/month. now, I'm back down to 8-10GB/month total, but not much of that is tether anymore.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
1!!!

I use it everyday. 58 gigs last month :highfive:
[HTC Rezound] pogibry:
Holy moly! My buddy got capped because he used around 20gb. He then called and told them he has unlimited and they told him his phone was malfunctioning and sent him a new one; that one did the same thing. They sent him another and now it's not capping him anymore. :confused:
[HTC Rezound] R187J:
1

Been using it everyday

Average 50-100gb a month and Verizon can't terminate your unlimited

When they bought the 700mhz spectrum they said they wouldn't limit

If they do terminate u take their ass to court

Average 2-4 GB/mo; mostly phone data though.

1. Most I used was 90gb total...theres 2 PS3 in the house n having brothers download everything...yea -_- and I have PS+ so i dl all the free games ha but it averages to about 40-60gb tethered for over a year now lol
[HTC Rezound] ffejy462:
Since lte came into our area, we've ditched cable Internet and wife and I use our phones to tether. We used to average 50-60gb a month. Since I rooted her phone (Rezound), we've been averaging over 110gb. Kids stream a lot of movies, videos, and gaming uses some.
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
been doing this since I got my Rezound back in December 2011 :good:
[HTC Rezound] torr310:
Thank you all for your participation and information! I am pretty amazed some people did consume humongous data on their Rezounds. Is that why I feel my 4G has been slower now? LOL!

What are you using to tether and is it physically or wirelessly? I can't get one to work around verizon but I am not rooted so I don't know if there is a way to without rooting. I want to tether my tablet, but no usb to tether physically.
