[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
That would be stupid, if they didn't fix it for free. I see your point. But if they do, why would you never buy a Samsung phone again ? I loved the LG suggestion though. You will certainly .. love.. the ... Experience xD
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sewer56lol:
My other phone is an R800i Xperia Play.

It never had any problems at all at any point. No firmware bugs. No errors. Completely open source (good for devs) Sony Ericsson gives devs support as well (remember when they sent FreeXperiaProject 11 Xperia phones in 2011 for FREE just for them to develop Cyanogenmod)

The only problem EVER on the xPlay is the flex cable, because it is between the sliders if one hits the floor with the phone too violently (literally throws it as hard as possibly) or if you keep sliding it out as hard and quick as you can. If the flex cable disconnects then you would have problem (you would not see screen, touchscreen would not work or it would only work under charger)

And for the play it has such a nice and beautiful community in XDA where everyone literally helps each other and has respect for others and they are just nice.

For example:

Developer Sdojoin made music controls on lock screen for multiple ROMs and which can be easily ported into any other ROM as well. (Vokal 1992 adapted it)

I shared a rom with my custom AC!D Sound MOD v5 for Gingerbread (this was before AC!D Gingerbread official which came 4 months later)

Anyway enough Xperia Banter, we're in Samsung area.

BTW. One developer here that had an Xperia 2011 phone here is themer ThilinaC, I'm sure he still likes it A LOT.

Tried factory restore nothing works tried to unroot with the tar on xda nothing works any ideas???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Could you give some idea of your system now? You know ROM something besides you tried a factory reset. General answer with no details; use triangle away then Odin stock firmware
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zactheandroidmac:
Im on stock odex rom 4.1.2. I tried the stock unroot method and the tar file always fails idk why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
What's the fail message or the last step. I'd it sboot.bin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zactheandroidmac:
Nope fails after it says modem and recovery which is strange even tried putting the pit file with it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
That is a little strange. Is your boot loader even unlocked since you're still on stock. If not you should be able to just use the supersu app to unroot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zactheandroidmac:
Its unlocked now would that be the reason the stock tar wasnt working before cause it wasnt unlocked before and cant I use twarp to install the stock tar or do I gotta use odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Being unlocked won't make it fail. Also to relock you will need to use Odin. Can you link the stock image you're using?

By the way don't forget to use triangle away to reset your flash counter before locking out back up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zactheandroidmac:
Since stock tar not working with odin will root 66 lock my boatloader???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zactheandroidmac:
FOUND OUT WHY I KEPT UNZIPING THE TAR FILE LIKE A IDIOT THANKS STOCK ROM RECOVERY FILE WORKING lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Yep that'll do it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
Hey guys

I was just wondering if there was any way to make the lockscreen widgets show more information without swiping down to show it?

I'm using 200dpi so it is quite a bit less than stock...

I used DashClock and saw that it was the same thing as CM's cLock...

For instance, if you have 2-3 calender events, some of them will be cut off until you swipe down to unlock the widget. Is there any way to make the "viewing" part bigger so that I don't have to open the widget every time? It drives me nuts...I just want to turn on my phone and see the information there, not have to swipe open again...

Thanks guys,

Elliott

Bumpity bump!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
I don't know what you're using to change DPI (Xposed mod, or paranoid preference). If it's paranoid preferences, try this:

In paranoid preferences, go tools, select expert mode.

Then in per app settings, you'll have the option to 'force' or 'large'. Try playing around with these, possibly for dashclock, systemui or Androidsystem. I don't know if this will help, as I don't use an overall lower dpi, only for some apps.

Apologies if that doesn't help your situation at all.

Thanks for trying but I'm using ROM Toolbox to change the DPI...running CM10.1.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Williamharv:
Hi all, not sure if this has been covered before but I just had a few questions about this case. I'm thinking of buying it off eBay, as it is much cheaper and I was wondering if there would be any differences between the original case and the ones off eBay (which are about $20 cheaper). Also, as it has two components to it, is it easy to take off and put back on regularly? I like taking my case off when I get home and putting it back on when I go out, and don't really want to assemble the case time and time again. Lastly, what's everyone's favorite color on the white model?

Thanks to anyone that can help ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] The Hobbit:
these are just a few hints and tips please feel free to add more

xda2 gprs switch off

this is a little known feature, but one which is very very useful. if your xda2 for some reason connects to a gprs connection you can easily turn it off again by pressing the red button (phone down key) for 2~3 seconds. avoiding the problem of having to switch off and switch on the wireless connection.

###############################################

xda2 speaker phone

when in a call, you can activate the xda2 speaker phone by pressing the green button (pick up phone) for 2~3 seconds.

###############################################

xda2 camera

when using the camera you can press the top left button on the handset (contacts button) to change the orientation of the icons on the screen.

###############################################

screen brightness

the screen is a very bright one, squeeze more life out of the battery by turning it down. go to start - settings - system - power : click on the word back light at the bottom and adjust to about half way for when running off the battery. half way is a very usable brightness, you can go lower if you don't mind it being slightly dim.

###############################################

accidental pressing of buttons

by default pressing any button on the xda2 will switch the machine on. you can stop all buttons activating the xda2 (bar the power switch) by going to start - settings - button lock : select lock all buttons except power button.

###############################################

sending a video clip via mms

to send a video clip via mms you have to change the format to which it is saved. go to start - programs - camera (or just start the camera). click on the screwdriver and wrench icon. click tools - options : click the video tab. in the capture format drop down box highlight H.263 - this is the standard 3gp mobile video phone format.

###############################################

adding your own sound to a xda2 action

you can add your own sounds to xda2 notifications, like receiving an sms, by simply creating the sound you want as a wav file. you can do this on your main computer (sound recorder in "start - programs - accessories - entertainment - sound recorder" is a simple piece of software to do this). then pass the file onto the xda2 using activesync / email / etc... you must copy the file into the "my device - windows" folder using file explorer. next go to settings, choose "sounds & notifications". click on the notifications tab, choose the event you want to assign the sound to e.g. "inbox: new sms message". make sure play sound is selected with a tick - now choose the sound that you have just copied into the "my device - windows" folder from the drop down box.

ignoring incoming calls

A helpful one:

When u receive a call that u don't wanna answer, instead of rejecting it by pressing "ignore or the red phone button, u can push the volume button up or down putting the ringer off. The caller won't get the busy signal and won't know u deliberately rejected his call. :wink:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] thumper:
When Phone application is active, pressing the 5-way navigation key

Up: goto call history

Down: goto speed dials
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Anton.Valleyman:
When sound is turned off (ie X) then pushing volume slider up once will take it to vibrate mode, and pushing again takes u back to normal sound levels.

Doesn't seem to be a way of doing the reverse though?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] samvds:
battery saving

install software that you use often on your XDA storage and NOT on an extra SD storage card. This saves much battery (less card-IO).

Abroad meeting/appointment alerts

If you travel a lot for meetings in different time zones, don't creat the calendar entry in your current time zone, instead, change the time zone to the destination, creat the calendar item then get back to your time zone. Otherwise the reminder will not set off properly.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] satria:
1. pressing and holding the power button for 2-3 sec toggles the backlight on/off

2. Hold the Action Button and tap on the clock at the right hand corner of the screen; It will pop up a menu with the Run Option. Then you can use the run as your command prompt.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Prerna:
Hi, I could not find how to decrease or stop the volume of reminders' notification. I find it so irritating when it rings increasingly, and so difficult to stop as I must first open the screen before being able to press the screen and stop it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurono67:
I have a SGH-I747M 4.1.1 Galaxy S3.

I used the Unified Toolkit and rooted/installed CWM, backuped and ready for a new ROM.

As I was installing this custom ROM (Pardus HD), and error popped up and it was aborted, (still in the CWM main menu)

but having only the said custom ROM zip file in the internal memory,

I figured I just shut down and download a fresh copy of the ROM.

and put it in an external SD card then power on the phone back into recovery.

Only thing is it wont power on anymore, the screen is just black, plugging in USB and computer just makes connected/disconnected noise.

(Devices say its "Qualcomm HS-USB DQLoader 9008")

Also tried taking out putting in the battery.

(I know my mistake is I never re-installed the backup) I've run out of ideas, please help.:confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JrSmilez:
I have a very similar problem. I had my battery checked thinking that could be the problem. My battery shows that is no good. I tried a new one and still nothing. I can't help but think if it were a missing program it would still come on at least. Lucky for me its covered under insurance. I'd still like to know what happened and if I could fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurono67:
I'd like to know too if I could fix it myself, other than ''the jig'' or a repair service. :( currenty trying to revive it still

edit: currently trying this Heimdall thing, goodluck to me...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JrSmilez:
Have you checked the battery? If I wasn't sending mine back on an insurance claim I would take it apart. I have a Motorola that has a fuse next to the battery under the back of the case. Seems dumb, I know but how could changing the rom "short" out my battery. Dumb again I always thought bricking was only being able to bring up recovery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurono67:
I think the battery is fine, as CWM was still running after the error.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JrSmilez:
That's pretty much what happened to me. Maybe we got to the same problem 2 different ways. Hope you get it figured out.

Your problem is that you flashed a rom for gt-i9300 (International) and you have some U.S. variant of s3. That in most cases bricks the phone.

Probably time for a service center visit.
[Nexus 10 General] Carter0108:
Why on earth did Google not make Hangouts available for download on either Nexus tablets? It's their own product, and we have to wait to try out the new service? Pretty poor to be honest.
[Nexus 10 General] Orbiting234:
I sideloaded it just fine after grabbing the APK from another device. Works without issue. Still odd like you say though.
[Nexus 10 General] legendary1022:
Maybe they are using a gradual rollout for various devices. It is odd that it wouldn't be available for tablets, especially their own.
[Nexus 10 General] MuT7:
It's running on my N10, did you update through the play store?
[Nexus 10 General] Walter21026:

[Nexus 10 General] angeamon:
Here's the new apk - Hangouts
[Nexus 10 General] sidthegreatest:
It asked for my phone number on my SIII.

So that may be why it is not available on these devices without SIM's.
[Nexus 10 General] angeamon:
Works fine on my Nexus 10 tab. It did not ask for phone number during initial setup.
[Nexus 10 General] Animor:
I also don't have it on my N10 play store.

And if I connect to play store through my pc, it shows that Hangouts is not supported for Nexus 10.

Very strange.
[Nexus 10 General] aritrea:
This is the exact reason as announced already on play store description. Either grab the apk from another device or wait some days.

Btw it's working perfectly on n10 (and probably other tablets) already. They just roll out the app later for some devices. Can't tell you why though :)

We are rolling out hangouts to everyone over the course of several days [...] tablets included.

What is truely missing is the ability to send /share videos, like whatsapp has.

This is a feature many use, and they won't immigrate from whatsapp to hangouts unless it would be implemented.
[Nexus 10 General] samyoue:
If you don't want to update (why wouldn't you?) hangouts is in the Google+ app - open it, hit back and select hangouts... After update it has its own app which replaces talk
[Nexus 10 General] *GalaxyDev*:
Well what I did to sideload it was to open the app on the web play store and installed it to the nexus 10 and gs3 because if I installed it on the devices it would just install talk
[Nexus 10 General] EniGmA1987:
At this point in its development, why would you? It does nothing but give a new interface for Talk. Maybe I will think about updating when it finally gets proper features.

Looking for the social stuff in Strava but don't see it yet do you have to have a ride recorded first or it is pro/premium membership only? My facebook is linked to Strava...
[Android Apps and Games] DorkyDev:
I've had this idea in my head for a lil while for an exercise app, really not an app for exercising but more of a idea brought into those types of recording app's.

Basically it is/or would be for the exercising app, an automatic pickup and start or recording once a certain number of repetitive movements are involved and recognized by the phone and the app itself... Such as a up and down or side to side movement, since your phone generally goes in that direction whether it's wrapped around the side of your arm while your jogging or running or in your pocket. Sure what would get in the way here is what about walking in general maybe you could add a specific time between each motion, whereas when ya walk ya don't move your arms back and forward as much or fast as you do when running, or if there was a way to measure the force for each movement and it could determine whether to automatically start recording or stay idly by waiting to sense, pickup and start automatically recording.

Was wandering if anyone tried this. It actually looks decent on the YouTube videos I have watched. 10 with case, screen protector, and nfc tag.

Made the mistake of buying a double dip case today. Didn't do anything but I decided it wasn't worth the risk so I took it off and boxed it back up. The sales guy asked to se my phone when I was looking at it and he decided to quickly slide the phone in from the top and pop the ends on himself. I was scared to take it off. I liked the fit of the case I just didn't like the colors and was nervous about the future damage it might do.

Got mine about a week and a half ago. Got the soft suede like grey one and I love it. Looks beautiful, feels incredibly well made, sleek as can be and gets out of the way when I don't need it Based on this case and the other Nillkin cases I've had I am seriously becoming a Nillkin fanboy

[One (M7) Accessories] HYE_TECH:
Yes I have to agree. I have the black Nillkin flip case and in the beginning I was like this case is sweet but after that first week it's just ehhh... The inside of my case (the inside flap) is dirty and just an eyesore but the good thing is, I'm gonna cut the flap so it's not as wide and just tape it up with electrical tape for the frayed edges. I'm trying to cut it so it can fit into the cd slot in my car so I can use it as a DIY car dock sort of. One thing I have to say it does snap on well to the One. The case kinda distracts from the beauty any way. I ended up buying a phone sleeve with a card holder so I can minimize the **** in my pockets and so I wouldn't have to use a case but it's still protected while in my pocket.

Currently I have a Evo 4G LTE and it is rooted with CyanogenMod 10 installed on it. All the info about my phone is below. I need to get the phone back to its normal Andoid stock OS like when I got it. I'm trying to give the phone to my dad and we can't switch numbers to the phone without getting the "Update Profile" option which is not on CyanogenMod 10.

Now here is my real problem. When I plug the phone into my computer, it makes a sound in Windows like it's being pulgged in but it doesn't show up. When I plug it in, it shows the screen with the Android logo holdign a USB and says "USB connected You've connected to your computer via USB. Touch the button below if you want to copy files between your computer and your Android's SD card." When I click "Turn on USB storage" it gives a loading ring that will stay there forever. If I turn the screen or press the home button to turn the screen on and off again, it shows up with "Turn on USB storage" but if I press it again, it loads forever with it never showing up on the computer.

Can anyone help me find a reason to get this recognized on my computer so I can get the stock OS on here for my dad?
