The international GS3 supports AptX (higher quality codec for A2DP Bluetooth streaming), but I couldn't definitively find support that the US version did. And then Samsung said it didn't support AptX. Those clueless people....

Well, I hooked my AT&T GS3 up to an HTC A200 Bluetooth receiver, which has AptX, and ran a catlog:

And we do! :D

If anyone else was wondering, :D

Now I just need a BT car stereo head unit that supports it. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Yup. I waited until now, but no luck. I'm leaving the country for a year, so here's hoping they figure it out by 2015.

Instead, I just added the HTC StereoClip to my car's AUX port and now I get high quality AptX in my car. Of course, if I'm not listening to the AUX mode, I won't get interrupted if a phone call comes in or if a GPS direction comes through, but not a deal breaker.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HyperEscape:
Yeah I am the one wondering,

I have the international i9500 Galaxy S4 and trying to confirm the presence of Aptx . Running stock ROM ( fork of stock) WanamLite 4.2.2. Hope you can help me with my queries.

1. How to confirm that it supports Bluetooth audio aptX (any terminal or ADB command ? ), will this command even output the presence of aptX , even if the mobile is not paired to an aptX complaint device and actively streaming the audio. I have tried running the logcat via ADB mode and from inside the android app (Catlog and aLogcat), the logcat freezes after a while and does not updates any new messages. Apparently from the available output I am unable to find any messages with text strings " D/audio codecs aptx" or anything similar.

2. Just wanted to see what messages are output in logcat when connecting to a Bluetooth device, at the moment I dont have any aptX enabled device, just regular bluetooth headset and DOSS DS-1155 Bluetooth Motion Speakers. However still unable to do so, although I am just researching prior to buying an aptX headphones.

3. If connected to an aptX complaint device , do we have to use the stock android ROM Music or Media player to get the benefit of aptX audio streaming. Or we can use any media player of our choice (like MX Player, Wondershare or even the ported Sony Walkman App) while running the stock ROM.

Would really appreciate the feedback and opinions for the queries, which are not only for me, but would help the community at large.

Thanks.

Possable hack or glitch, that is why I am posting here.

According to a few sites, a glitch has been discovered by setting a proxy, you can make your non-nokia phone be able install apps from Nokia's apps.

Sites for info...

http://www.wpcentral.com/glitch-spotted-windows-phone-store-lumia-apps

Does anyone have clear directions on this so everyone knows how to do it?

Also, I am hoping this would allow us to get to the point of a Marketplace Changer like we used to have for WP7 devices.. I personally would like some HTC apps on my Nokia...and a LG app too.

Figured this would be a great place to start a discussion on this.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The basic "hack" is dead simple, actually. In a way, this is easier than the old Marketplace Switching apps; those worked by changing some configuration files on the phone; this works by editing the communication between the phone and the Marketplace servers *as if* those files had been changed.

It's probably worth the time to write up a small utility to do this yourself, rather than relying on a third party proxy (never a good plan if you don't have to do it). It might even be possible to make the proxy run as an app on the phone itself (it would need to be sideloaded, since there's no way MS would permit such a thing, and you'd probably still need to be on WiFi, but it might be possible).
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] jakelq:
Guyz, I've tried this on my Huawei W1 but its says, cannot connect,,,,,,,,,, ive also tried changing the region but nothing happens, does anyone tried this already, and successfully installed those nokia exclusive apps?

[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
I would gladly test (I am dev unlocked) anything you can come up with here.

Anything that could help progress towards a hack on WP8, even if it's a marketplace changer of some type :)

The same process (dreamspark EDU account, etc) that worked for WP7 works on WP8 but, the limits of 3 apps are still there... So I can sideload 3 apps..
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gipfelgoas:
I have an edu account activated since december 2011. I had on my Omnia W (WP 7.5) only the possibility to sideload 3 apps, but now on my lumia 820 i DONT have this limit of 3 apps..
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
I have a Lumia 928, and I dev unlocked it(got one of those free EDU accounts that was going around, I log in 2 times a year), I put on 3 apps and it gives me an error if I try to add more.

I would like to add more but, No biggie because there is not 3rd party tools or hacks for WP8....YET.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] gipfelgoas:
I dont mind but it seems that my account has a bug..?!?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Here is a question on this. Is there a list of "proxies" for different carriers/OEMS ? I could not find anything besides this one. Do you know how I can access HTC, Samsung, LG, etc list ?

How does one access the marketplace of another OEM than Nokia ? (I have a Nokia so that is not an issue for me)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
It's just a matter of changing the ID string for the phone when it's talking to the Marketplace servers. I'll look into writing a tool to do it.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Awsome, I look forward to something ! Thanks !
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] xboxmod:
Hi ,GoodDayToDie

Try fiddler2 to modify the request send by the phone when talking to the Marketplace servers.

I have made some research and it's intresting.....
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
[MENTION=1379916]Mattemoller90[/MENTION]: Yes, but I can't promise that the app will install correctly afterward. Apps identify, in their manifests, the resolutions they support. If the app requires resolution that the phone doesn't have, the phone will most likely simply refuse to install it.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Mattemoller90:
[MENTION=3529492]GoodDayToDie[/MENTION]

How can I cheat the Marketplace with Fiddler2 (for change the resolution) I want try ;)

You are the best ;)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Eh, I'm not going to write a full tutorial right now. Short version is install Fiddler, set it to proxy external connections (will need to be let through your firewall), set your phone to use your PC's IP address and Fiddler's listening port as the proxy, set Fiddler to intercept requests, and then open the Marketplace. You'll see an HTTP GET request from the phone to Microsoft's servers, and the URL will contain a bunch of details about your phone (manufacturer, model, version info, region, etc.) including resolution. Replace the resolution string with the one you want to pretend to have, then have Fiddler "Run to completion".

Note: You'll probably have to do this multiple times. It's OK to not do it for things like partial searches, but you'll of course need to do it for the final search query. It can be scripted, but that's outside the scope of what I'm going to tell you to do here. Look at how [MENTION=4599839]xdevilium[/MENTION] does it in his app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362165
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] aclegg2011:
Can fiddler be used for other things? Like seeing where server updates are coming from, and how are phones interacts with developer registration?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
In theory, yes it can (or any other HTTP/HTTPS proxy; there are several of them available). However, the functions you describe use HTTPS. To intercept SSL traffic, the proxy needs to forge certificates for the sites you connect to (unless it somehow got ahold of the site's private key). To have your phone trust the forged certificates, the proxy (including Fiddler, if you choose to enable it) can sign the forged certificates using its own private key; if the corresponding public key is trusted by the phone (which can be done just by sending the public key to the phone using email or bluetooth or something, and installing it) then the forged signatures will be trusted.

However, that's only true for the general case. For specific OS functionality, Microsoft (and all the other big mobile vendors) use a technique called "certificate pinning" where the SSL certificate must either exactly match a known certifiacte, or must be signed by an exact match. In this case, it doesn't work to install your proxy's certificate and have it be trusted; a feature using cert pinning doesn't even check the OS's trust store. Therefore, we can't intercept those specific communications.

It's frustrating.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
I've never scripted Fiddler, I just re-wrote the requests by hand. It's easy enough; there aren't very many. I could tell you how to do it in a couple other proxy programs.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] Mattemoller90:
I Really Appreciate That :)
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
In Burp Suite, you create a replacement rule under Proxy -> Settings, on incoming headers. Put the string for your current phone in the match box, and the string you want to replace it with in the replace box. In Canape, there are a few ways to create a simple replacement filter; I don't have it in front of me but it's really easy to find.

Intercepting proxies are not terribly fancy software. There are basic ones written in Python out there that you could easily adapt and modify to include a simple string replacement.
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] strikeIII:
How do you find the string of your current phone and the replacement string? What should I put in here if I have a Nokia Lumia 1020 but I want to install a Samsung App?
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
You replace the string "Nokia" with the string "Samsung" in the URLs (it's all done over HTTP). You could have figured this out yourself with a minimum of effort...
[Windows Phone 8 Development and Hacking] strikeIII:
Thanks for the reply, but I didn't even know where to find the actual URLs but was able to figure it out from this thread.

OK bro!

From the 3 photos posted the one by XDA II is definitely the best.

Have you make sure the XDA IIi got its best setting for the resolution concerned like its ambience, contrast, saturation, gamma and sharpness?

I would like to upgarde to IIi if its available in my country but now I have second thought after seeing its camera capability. I hope when it's release it would have the camera issue resolved.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dewild1:
Well, it looks worse but it may just be your brightness, contrast, etc..

Hey, BTW, when did XDAII start taking photos at 480x960? Mine can only do 480X640 no matter how I tweak the settings... Did I miss something?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] MooChaqa:
Well spotted!

No, that was my mistake it was only 480x640.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I have tinkered with the settings somewhat, I tried to match them before taking the shots and have tinkered with the XDAIIi settings alone to try and improve it aswell, however no luck.

There is a 'night' settings on the IIi although it makes the pics even worse, and has white flecks all over the image!

It's such a shame, WM2003 SE is great! Integrated WiFi is awesome!

This cam really lets it down though.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] MooChaqa:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dc429uk:
upgrade the ROM and see~

Have U ungrade ur ROm to i-mate's latest ROm? I realize that the camera's "nightmode" indeed remove those white flecks. But I admit my xdaII's camera (WM2003SE download from xda-developer) is nicer than the original PDA2's camera

On my PDA2,I reckon the resolution is much higher; it's hard to tell on computer screen but once U magifiy it (ZOOM in) then U will find L is L (640x480) and why we need XL 1024x640

The next concern: anyone know any patch or .cab to improve the camera spec in order to get better quality of pic? cheers~
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] TomasNM:

The quality very depends on the settings and adjustments. I took 5 pics(3 indoor,2 outdoor)with my Himalaya(VGA Cam). There are too many differences which causes the adjustments. Take a look...
