Hmm it seems to work well with mine in all places except very loud environments. In some instances it would not have been possible for it to have picked up the other end through the speaker (too much noise) but it still records them... not sure how it works!

[General Questions and Answers] johann3s:
Does this exist? I basically want a simple phone for texting and calling, but added to that also whatsapp, since this is used more and more, and it would be convenient if I have access to whatsapp.

But I do not want access to a browser, or a gmail or facebook app, or anything else, because this is very distracting, and I do not want this on my phone :p

Is this possible? Ideally I would like a simple phone like a Nokia Asha 206 or 301, with just a numeric keypad, but I don't think that it is possible to remove for instance the browser.

So basically, does this mean that since I want a dumbphone, I need to have a smartphone? I think this is possible with an iPhone, by letting someone disable everything for me with parental control? And probably this is also possible with a rooted android phone?

Are there more possibilities for me to achieve this? I hope you have some ideas. So I would like it the most to have a simple phone like a Nokia asha 206 or 301, just for calling, texting but also capable of whatsapp, and nothing else.
[General Questions and Answers] syung:
You can always remove the apks from your phone, thereby removing the app from your phone. You could also flash a custom rom and remove the specific apks in questions, so your phone never has the app in the first place. However, note that gmail is part of Gapps, so if you want to remove it, you will probably not have access to Google play, which is used to update your apps.

after buying your phone, you can simply remove/ uninstall the apps you don't need by going into

[HTC One X] Deosneos:
Hi there,

I recently sent my phone back to HTC because my volume button was stuck, which resulted in it not being able to boot (as it always went straight to recovery). They repaired it, and after three weeks without my phone I know received it back. They 'replaced parts and did a software update.'

Problem is, now I have no mobile network connection. The phone recognises the SIM fine, but no signal and search networks results in "Error while searching for networks."

I'm blaming the software update HTC did, so I send them another email. The thing is, I don't want to send it back AGAIN, I had the phone a full 2 weeks before it broke and haven't been able to use it since. Is there anything you guys can think of that doesn't involve rooting it and losing my warranty (which I will probably need now)?

Thanks a bunch
[HTC One X] Pundy:
Hello,

have you tried to switch between the network mode; only WCDMA or only GSM? (Settings->Mobile Network->Network Mode)
[HTC One X] Deosneos:
Thanks for the reply. Yes I have, no effect. One other weird thing I have noticed since first posting: at the about -> Phone Identity screen, the phone number does not match my actual sim phone number. It reads the SIM fine though, as all my SIM contacts are available.
[HTC One X] Pundy:
Could you use/try another SIM Card to check its work with a different one?

Is WiFi working? Any interruptions druing a regular call?
[HTC One X] Deosneos:
Regular call is impossible, as I have no cellular network at all. Wifi works fine. I am currently unable to try another SIM, as I'd have to cut a microsim out of a regular one and people around don't want to have their card cut up.

The sim works fine in my old nokia though, so I don't think that's the issue.

I'll try to find a friend with an iPhone 4 to try their microsim, but I'm not really counting on it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SnowPluralism:
Another amazing coment from glebun :) ...

I have said to u before to lower your attitude but again i will do u some favor:

And since you are against spoon feeding

Search on google: "how to be humble"

And then remember that not all of us can afford a S3 wich is a pretty expensive phone

And also that this is xda :) we are a comunity and not the "rich developer private code playground" and we do what we can to help others!!

And if there is no help we can give the least we can do is be nice and point out other direction

--------

@op: try find out the real name of you phone model and search for it on google :) on xda i have no knowlodge of any support for the cloned s3

Take care
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
couldn't agree more.

In addition, I had the chance to look at & use a S3 clone some time back as a friend bought one over here in Bangkok. To be honest, the phone looked the same (I know that is the definition of a clone) but even was snappy and usable as a normal phone. Wouldn't exchange my original S3 but as a travel phone or for people that do not need a high end device, why not?

@op: as said before, try a quick google, maybe there are some Chinese forums that develop for the clones?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Search XDA possible in the Android development forum .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
If you can't afford an S3, don't buy something that kind of looks like it just to think you have a high-end phone. Get a phone from Samsung or HTC in the low range for the same price, and you'll probably get much more development, because these cheap fake phones are literally a waste of money. That's my opinion.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negrobembon:
I agree with this guy, i'd rather buy a cheap low to mid phone than any of these knock offs

Ive seen these phones in action and they suck big time, they might seem snappy and good at first but trust me in the end you'll be very dissapointed.

Im not trying to be rude( and i know glebun wasnt either) but its the truth, i know phones like the s3 can be expensive for some(myself included) but regardless of the amount of money i pay for a phone, i want to get my moneys worth

Whats the point of paying 100 for a phone that looks like 500 when it performs like a 10$ one?

[Testing] el_bhm:
Because it is an emulator. Some methods will behave differently than on a real device. Countless threads on Stack prove it.

It's slow. It's painfully slow. Sub 4GB machine and we're back in 1999.

Screen device looks differently than the screen of your device.

If one needs to use an emulator use manymo. Emulators are limited to 10 minutes on free accounts and you need upload it to the servers (nifty tool provided) which takes a bit. But they have a broad range of screen sizes and OS versions available for a device. On in your browser.

HTC Wildfire G8 is ldpi.and has a broad spectrum of ROMs to test apps on. ZTE Blade is dirt cheap too, battery is not the best, but has a higher dpi.
[Testing] GuestK00178:
I actually don't use the emulator myself lol. Mainly because it's slow on my laptop (1gb ram and Intel pentium M). I wrote some batch scripts to very quickly install or update my apps using adb :)

[Glass General] danguyf:
"We've been listening closely to you, and many have expressed both interest and concern around the possibilities of facial recognition in Glass. As Google has said for several years, we won’t add facial recognition features to our products without having strong privacy protections in place. With that in mind, we won’t be approving any facial recognition Glassware at this time."

-- from ProjectGlass on Google+

I'm not sure that I see people being able to identify you as rising to the level of privacy-invasion.

I think that facial recognition would be very useful for people with face-blindness, as well as people (like me) who are always forgetting the names of those they meet casually.

That said, I can't think of a compelling use-case for allowing people to identify anyone and everyone. I would support limiting facial recognition to:

(A) those one has met and added personally,

(B) social network "friends", and

(C) public figures.

For (C), it would be easy for Google to provide optional downloads of facial-metrics; one for politicians, one for celebs, etc. For (B), there could be an app that scans the profile pics of your "friends" on Google+, FB, what have you. And for (A), I foresee a Glassware app that allows you to record an image and short audio clip whenever someone introduces himself/herself so that you can (1) have it replayed whenever you see that person again and/or (2) go back after the fact and tag that person with their name -- starting with the app's best text-to-speech guess/transcription -- and generate a facial-metric from the image so that the name will pop up as text whenever you see that person again.

(Going further, I can foresee people generating their own facial-metrics with attached metadata like a .vcard, and exchanging them via QR code on their business cards.)

I wonder if this limitation would assuage Google's privacy concerns?
[Glass General] pornoqueen:
Hello,

the suggestions you made are highly interesting! Imagining I am to wear a Glass within the next few years, an app which does exactly what you described would be a great addition to the features of G.G.
[Glass General] e1227435:
If this project meets success, it would change drastically the idea of the private zone of the people. When a person goes outside, it's normal to think that he's not "online" and that his personal information is protected by the fact, that he cannot be recognised on the street by people, who don't know him. This is about to change, because all of the options, which would be provided by the glass:

"The experience of being a citizen, in public, is about to change" /Mark Hurst/

I totally agree with this statement, because the glass contains a processor, which means it's a computer as well, and we all know about the possibilities of the computers. When a lot of our information is on the internet, it's possible, that this information could be used outside the net, which is related mostly to the face recognition features. Altough the privacy policy wants from the users to be correct using the glasses and not harm the others privacy rights, the google glass, as I said, is a computer so if a face is recognised, the owner could do with this information whatever he likes. This includes searching for information on the net and even changing it.

The other big problem is the feature for taking photos. Altough there would be a protection and a sign, that the glasses are recording video/ taking a picture, that could be easily hidden/hacked, as I said this is a computer. A owner of the glasses would have the possibility not only to get information on the internet for people, but to record and share a new one, which attack the people's privacy rights.

And to show the possible outlook of the society, I will post another quote:

"Our society will be surveillant society; it's up to us to make that a virtue, and not just another fear" /Devin Coldewey/

The problem, which I did not mention, was the problem, that google and respectively another companies would have the possibility to get additional information about us, to track our location, record our conversations etc.

So we should defenately think about the possible privacy problems, which google glass could cause!

[Glass General] b3bluesman:
You know this only means that the law enforcement agencies and feds are going to be outfitted with this thing first with unofficial cracked facial recognition software thus resulting in more tyrannical living conditions. Just recently Texas Instruments developed a chip that operates in the terahert frequency range that supposedly will give people the ability to see through walls.
[Glass General] danguyf:
To reiterate, I support the idea of banning a Glass app capable of identifying anyone and everyone on the street via facial recognition. That is, I think, an invasion of privacy. (Though I understand the counter-argument that there is no expectation of privacy while in public, and I think that a case can be made, but I think that it's sensible of Google to ban such things for now until people are more used to it.)

I see no reason why Google should ban all facial recognition, though. I should be able to take a facial recognition snapshot (henceforth "FRS") of my friends and tag them with their names and other metadata. I should be able to consent to giving my FRS to business associates, whether by orally agreeing and then standing still while their Glass scans my face or by providing a URL via QR or bluetooth that enables their Glass to download my FRS.

Going forward, I would like to have my FRS attached to my social networking account and be able to control who can see it. Maybe I want just one circle to have access. Maybe I want all of my circles to have access. Or maybe I want all of my circles plus one or more degree of separation. (Personally, I think that it would be useful to go out one degree of separation, so that friends of friends could "recognize" me in public.) Those who felt they had nothing to fear could crank it all the way up to 6 degrees of separation, effectively making them recognizable by the world at large.

It could be the enabler of Cory Doctrow's whuffie-based economy.
