[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zecup:
Hey everyone.

I was just wondering if there's a current method to resetting the flash counter on the Samsung Galaxy I9500 (international version).

As you know Triangle Away doesn't support the International variant of the S4. For that, I was hoping to find an alternative method.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
Perhaps asking this in the I9500 forum would get you answers.....:)

I am using 'extended phone' dialer program. I really like the T9 lookup of contacts in this program. I would like to assign this program to the 'phone button' on my qtek9090 but I don't see this button in START -> SETTINGS -> POWER BUTTONS. Is it possible to assign 'other' programs to the phone button?

Re: how to assign alternative dailer to the phone button on

Yes it is! Phone Plus! www.mesoftware.biz!

Go to the settings of this prog, so, NOT to power buttons, but in the prog itself, go to settings and all works fine! I like it more then Extended Phone!!
[General Topics] aw:
Re: how to assign alternative dailer to the phone button on

Thanks! It seems PhonePlus (did not know it existed) is a beefed up version of 'extended phone'. Like it even better.
[General Topics] Rayan:
In my case PhonePlus is totally unreliable since it will stop responding to the GREEN SEND button.. eventually. :evil:
[General Topics] aw:
I have to admit, after using phoneplus a day or 10 I also get strange behaviour.. After picking up the phone with the green button it takes a couple of seconds before I can hear/speak through the phone. Uninstalling resolved the problem, too bad because I really liked the T9 contact lookup.

Hey,i have a problem,i've rooted my phone and now the phone is restarting himself.

Please i need help!!!
[HTC Rezound] ssb13:
I might be selling my Rezound with two extended batteries, as well as standard. Two iBolt car docks (one has the slow charge issue and the other is a replacement so there is only one mount), Otterbox commuter, Verizon extended battery case with holster, Zagg screen protector installed (and not too bad I might add).

It's S-OFF too

Let me know if you or anyone you know might be interested via PM please.

I am waiting on a work policy change which is more than likely going to make me get a phone through them.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bstangs1:
Hey is there a way to turn off WiFi from automatically turning on all the time. Thanks

Stock Rooted SG3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
That's the Sprint Connection Optimizer turning your wifi on all the time. Just disable it in settings (not sure exactly where in settings, but it's definitely there, I'd assume in "more" under wireless settings).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
+1 Go to settings>wireless and networks more settings>mobile networks>connection optimizer and uncheck it and forget it exists :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
Thanks for the clarification, Rocker of Dragons. I've been running AOSP Roms for so long I've forgotten where all of the settings are in stock TW.

And just a quick question: I noticed in your sig that you used Mskip's Toolkit when rooting. Did you have the same issues with Wifi being borked when you rooted it using the toolkit? I've stopped recommending it because of the issues people have has with it. I currently recommend

Skunk Ape's guide

, since it's easy to follow and walks you through each step with pictures and everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lilman355:
You can remove it via Titanium Backup, if you think its as useless as I do :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bstangs1:
Ok thanks for your help.

Stock Rooted SG3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
If your on a TW rom I recommend freezing it and not removing. Removing it has caused issues because it is linked to other tw based apps within the system.

On my two cents I love it I pick up wifi hot spots everywhere and the phone just connects automatically once you have already set it up. I go to Target I'm connected, I go to grocery store I'm connected, I go to mall I'm connected, I go to bookstore I'm connected, I go to Home Depot I'm connected, I go to Bahamas Breeze I'm connected... Lol see the advantages to using it.

I have played Asphalt 7 with no problem what-so-ever :)

How is the performance of NOVA 3 in XL? I saw a video on youtube but I can't assume the gameplay from it. Is it smooth?

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

I am playing NFS Most Wanted as of now and it is really smooth. Awesome gameplay
[Sony Xperia L] ishanbhatnagr96:
Nova 3 is smooth.

No problem in any game at all.

Tested almost all HD/3D games including games like MC4, GTA III, Nova 3.

Though facing problems with GTA VC(Screen freezes though phone is still working and multi-task can be open with all sounds from the game), Gangstar Rio(controls messed-up) and Sims Freeplay(Not Compatible). :mad:
[Sony Xperia L] Shivam Kuchhal:
I think that problem is that these games are not optimized for our phone. Such problems are always prevalent with Gameloft, Gangstar Rio is old now, better wait for Gangstar Vegas as Gangstar Rio is not optimized for Nexus 7 also. Though GTA VC is very old now, it is not optimized maybe because even 1GHz single core devices can play it easily.
[Sony Xperia L] ishanbhatnagr96:
Yup you might be right. I think the devs should update the games and optimize them.

I also noticed that in FPS games like MC4, the multi-touch dosen't work properly! I can't move and shoot at the same time. Does this happen with anyone of you?

[Sony Xperia L] sudhamsu:
lags anyone?

Is anyone experiencing lags while gaming? Substantial lags, not micro-scale lags.

I am seeing decreased performance with Temple Run 2 since two days, even after swiping away all open apps. I have also uninstalled/disabled almost all of the bloatware apps. And I haven't installed anything new recently, TR2 used to run smoothly with current combination of apps on my phone.

Probably just a bad-aging issue, but its only been a month... :confused:

Do you guys use any custom rom or tweaks like script apps and something like that? Or you just install all games like asphalt 7 mc4 and straight play those games without root or tweaks.

[Sony Xperia L] Sparksys:
This phone can run ANY game without ANY lag using STOCK ROM UNrooted.
[Sony Xperia L] Outpapa:
I did not play MC4, but with Dead Trigger there are some little problems with multi-touch. Sometimes I can shot and move or change the viewing angle, but sometimes it's not possible. I checked my multi touch with "MultiTouch Visualiser" and it works properly, the touchscreen is OK too.

Multi touch works quite well wiwth other applications, so I think the problem come from the game...
[Sony Xperia L] ishanbhatnagr96:
Same here man. Other than games, multi touch works perfectly in apps. I only face this issue in games. Though dead trigger works just like you said, in mc4, it doesn't work like that at all!

I hope this bug is fixed ASAP :/
[Sony Xperia L] Outpapa:
What is your build number please?
[Sony Xperia L] ishanbhatnagr96:
.31
[Sony Xperia L] Outpapa:
Mine is .31 too.

I think I've found a solution in Dead Trigger. When you're palying, you go in settings and you choose "free m ove pad" instead of "static move pad". (It was the same on my Mini Pro). Now, multi touch is better ;)

Flash Vengeance Kernel with the module than you can use it :)
[Sony Xperia L] cyberfrnd:
thanks for replying mate..

Do I have to flash another Kernel to connect my PS Controller? but on the box it says that it is play station certified.

Should I call them and ask for the same?

Will USB OTG work after flashing Vengeance Kernel?

sorry for asking so many questions but I am totally new to Android..

thanks again..
[Sony Xperia L] karkand:
I'm not sure what is certified for, mate.

Maybe if u want, ask Sony for help about it.

Because I'm not using that controller, but I see someone using PS3 controller in that kernel.

And usb otg is wont work as someone try that,see the thread and ask for further feature bro. I just use that kernel because it overclocked both cpu and gpu, and can be undervolt.

[Sony Xperia L] cyberfrnd:
hello everyone,

I have one query.

I bought Ashpalt 7 from Google Play store.

Now I want to back up my downloaded game, as I have a very slow connection and It takes hell of a time to download 1.4 GB worth of game.

So is there any way I can backup the whole game into my pc and than flash it back after installing custom Rom or after uninstalling game when I needed it?

Also I am not able to buy Ashpalt 8

when I am going to the page it says device incompatible :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia L] przemek4113:
You can copy the data from android obb or data, just find the folder asphalt7 and copy it to pc,if after installing custom rom copy it to the same folder as before.
[Sony Xperia L] gelo01:
I've tried playing with my brother's xperia L. I have to admit, it almost matches my One S' fps while playing intensive games like MC4, nfs mw, real racing 3 and riptide gp2.. though it has very rare and occasional fps drop, but still those games i mentioned were pretty much playable. Great phone! :thumbup::cool:
[Sony Xperia L] Marius Cristian:
Well...that's because our adreno 305 is almost like your adreno 225,but it has some oc + some drivers update.But your CPU is way better(at least in comparison with our stock).But since we can oc@1.57 ghz ... we might be close to your CPU performance.However,for now i understood that OC doesn't work really well(a core just jumps at 1.57 ghz and doesn't come down) and it's risky.I think overclock is not risky if the governor is set properly and when not needed,the cpu runs at low frequencies like ~ 400 mhz - to 800 mhz.However,after overclock,the intense gamming time should be reduced as too much heat can damage the phone and the cpu itself.Thanks for reviewing our phone!
[Sony Xperia L] gelo01:
No prob mate! :D

I'd probably rooting my brother's phone since he doesn't have an idea on what "root" is. But i'm still ambivalent to do so, since i can't find a proper kernel for this phone? Upon seeing Xperia L's android development (also the orig. android dev't), i can't seem to find a stable kernel to try, why is that? Anyway, i have many things to study as i'm new to sony.. i've always been an htc fan. :)

Yet again, Xperia L's not a bad phone.. in fact, it does very well worth for it's price. One thing i don't like is the front facing camera.. pictures taken with it is like almost black and white or too pale.. but we're not talking about that, are we? Sorry for a lil bit OT. :D

Otherwise, it's a great phone! I'd try other intensive games like shadowgun, dead trigger, GTA, etc., then i'll report back here if i had a chance.. but so far, so good, even without OC'ing. :thumbup::cool:
