Just to update, I received my order yesterday and they work great! Quality is impressive, and I was happy to see they use 3M adhesive.

Now, to come up with some cool ways to use them :p One idea I have in mind, is opening up my ultrabook and sticking one in the space beside the trackpad (doing it internally, not to affect the aesthetics of my new rig ;)), so I can tap my phone to initiate an ad-hoc connection to wirelessly transfer files. Not sure exactly how to execute this idea (or if it's even possible, both technically or without causing interference), but I'm going to look into it.

I always want to get some tags, but I don't have a car and always have my data connection on, so...what else could i use it for?

Plenty of things to do with it. From inducting night mode when you put your phone on the night stand next to your bed, to launching apps on your phone when near. My current task is set my phone to wake up with hoovering my hand over it when I'm on my bicycle. to define 'on the bicycle' you would have to stick the tag to the bottom of the mobile pouch for bikes ...

In connection to Tasker... possibilities are endless :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TaggerNFC:
That's great to hear!

It's a neat idea to integrate a NFC tag below plastics or other non-conductive surfaces. Let us know how we can help with your project and since you do have an ultrabook the material may likely be metal. Not all metals will allow the signal to pass through so be aware of this.

---------- Post added at 03:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------

Pair a bluetooth device, use it in your business cards, serve an advertisement with NFC targets, set it to call your mom, have one that texts your girlfriend that you're not available tonight, make a task that tells your wifi thermostat to turn off the A/C, set one to send a Wake On Lan command to your computer, etc... The possibilities are endless but we don't want to keep telling you that. It would be nice to see what kind of cool ideas you guys have come up with.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Procyon_82:
now why would I wanna do that lol

Question can the tags toggle? If I tap it, it'll do something, if I tap it again it'll undo what it did or do I need two tags now?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TaggerNFC:
Nope. You only need one tag. Toggling is entirely something you set up.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RASTAVIPER:
How is the business card idea working?

Also, something useful for me would be after touching one tag next to the door, to arm my ip camera, through the application that I have at my phone. Would this be possible?

Also, is there any site with normal round tags, with low price and shipping for European countries?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] wilsonlam97:
It works great for me but it does cost a lot more to give out business cards with the tags on it but I think it makes a good impression. I'm not sure about the IP camera thing though. I know it can be done but I don't even know what IP camera you use.

Also what's the difference between the round tags and square tags? Is there any performance difference? I find that the square ones read a lot faster than the circle ones I've ordered on eBay. It's seems to be a bit more responsive but it may just be the difference between Tagger's quality vs. eBay. I also ordered some on AliExpress but they were complete junk.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RASTAVIPER:
I can imagine that business cards with tags would be more expensive, but what is the concept of giving the tags to a new business contact? What info can you provide through the tag?

If it helps U, the application that I use for arming the alarm of my camera is called Remote4Cam.

Concerning the round tags, I just prefer them aesthetically speaking.

Hi techies

amazing forum, a bit out of my depth, heres my problem.

Got orange m1000 off ebay. worked fine phone and gprs with my Orange sim but no others.

ran unlock tool second version. Now original Orange sim won't work on anything (although sim still works in old phone) Doesn't work on O2 either. But phone does work on an old t mobile PAYG. When I try orange/ o2 sim i just get "!" next to phone signal icon.

So I am looking for any solutions from some of you awesome programmers.

Other recent attempts history;

Thought I would fix it by downloading upgrade 1.66 from orange - but that just put me on the country lock "cold sweat" :shock: serial 1.06 saga. spent several days reading forum and fixed that with W4XY himupgradeut on a imateupgrade (thanks for that), then fixed this similalry to uk orange update ext rom - wow all that extra memory.

Just need help please sorting out this signal

I am running JB 4.1 on a chinese MTK (galaxy s3 clone).

I was having problems with the WiFi, getting an IP address with DHCP (I tried with many different places and SSID)

So I decided to install a wifi manager software. I installed wifi connection manager from google play and, after running the wifi fix (for root users), now my phone is not able to go online.

I can connect (as before) to a WiFi (using static address) or with mobile data but I cannot reach any internet websites, only local addresses.

I thought it could be a problem of DNS or gateway addresses but they seem exactly as before...

any clue on this problem?

Hey guys im trying to root my device so i can install some lightweight custom roms. Ive been following this guide i found online

http://androidcritics.com/how-to-root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-galaxy-s3-i747/

I basically did this

Installing Clockwork Recovery Mod

Find the recovery image file which is clockworkmod.tar

On your Samsung Galaxy S3 I747, press and hold down the volume down, power, and home buttons

Once your at the warning screen, press volume up to accept

Launch the Odin program from your computer

In Odin, find the PDA tab and click it

Find the clockworkmod.tar.md5 file in the unzipped recovery image file

Press start to begin flashing the recovery mod

BE PATIENT! and wait until your device reboots

Once your device has fully rebooted, you can start installing root

It loaded on the phone fine. I then did this

Installing Root

Transfer the root.zip file onto your phone from your computer

Make sure you connect your s3 to your computer and find the root zip file and put it in your downloads folder.

Enter clockwork recover mod by holding down the volume up, power, and home buttons

Navigate by using the volume buttons to Install Zip > Choose Zip from Internal SD card > Navigate to the downloads folder> Select

Be Patient! and wait until your device is finished

Once the process is finished, you can select Reboot

Once your device has rebooted, launch the Google Play Store app

Search “SuperuserSU” and select the first app that shows in the search results

Install this app

Once it has finished installing, your done!

The only problem is I cant navigate to the option "install zip from internal sd card" I simply dont have though's options here is what I have when hold volume up reset and home

"reboot system now

apply update from ADB

apply update from external storage (which i dont have)

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

When i hit apply update from ADB it says "now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...

Im wondering if the original flash didnt go thru? Why dont I have the options that I should?

Any help would mean the world trying to get this puppy up asap!

regards,

Eddy

Sounds like the root method you are using is just way to complicated. Follow this one here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 it has prerooted firmwares that you just install with odin and you are done (cwm included). Just make sure you grab the right firmware for your carrier.

Beauty I think its flashing the rogers rom to my phone from there Im good to load other roms using this odin tool? (or is it rom manager?)

also what is this clockwork mod ? I might as well go into play store and get both rom manager and clockwork?

So After I flashed the new rom to my phone i left it plugged in and it restarted. Android loader popped on and now it says android is upgrading... starting apps. Its been like this for over a half an hour... what do i do??? helpppp dont really want to reset it but it is bricked? or do i have to reload ?

update:

held the restart button down it restarted bit is still stuck on starting apps.

update two:

held vol down home and reset tried to reload the rogers rom onto the phone and now it stops at samsung load screen. Do i have to reload the carrier that came with the phone? I cant quite remember what the original carrier was.

UPDATE THREE:

I as able to boot back into the phone but...nothing changed? i ended up wiping the phones data in settings because its too full as it is. I downloaded root checker and it said access was denied ? That makes its not rooted after all... I followed the directions seems that they didnt take? Any clues?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
Okay buddy looks like you need to learn some basic android 101

You are definitely not ready to root or do anything til you learn this stuff...

Okay, so first is recoveries. Basically recoveries are a bit of software that let's you flash ROMs, kernels, and whatever else to your phone. When you hold volume up and power when your phone is off, you boot to recovery. Now basically recoveries are necessary because when you are flashing a new ROM it essentially deletes the android system from your phone first so this is a way of your phone still working between flashes.

Clockworkmod is a custom recovery with a lot of features meant for flashing ROMs. There are competitors such as TWRP (team win recovery project) but clockworkmod is a great starter. Use videos or tutorials on how to use it before you flash your first ROM. I can not stress how often you need to read read and read some more.

Okay so rooting your phone. Basically there is a "root" directory of your phone. Its where all the system files are stored and it let's you do a lot of stuff, but it also means you can screw a lot of stuff up to (like really screw it up). On default you are locked out of here by the maker of your phone for various reasons. Rooting means that someone found an exploit to gain access to this folder. Usually what you then do is you find a way to inject superuser (a little app that gives root access to other apps later on). You use Odin in this case to install a stock Samsung rom (with superuser already put in the root directory of that modified ROM its installing) essentially this means you have root. Root allows you to install recoveries like clockworkmod (which you need to flash ROMs later.

Okay so that was my quick run through. At your point you need to go to YouTube and Google how to root the sgs3 and hopefully they should have one for your specific carrier. The process should be the same minus the files you flash. Essentially you should be looking for stock ROM (for your specific device) with superuser or supersu already installed. Then you should be finding a way to install clockworkmod once you have root. (You may be able to find a file or tutorial that does this in one go). I cannot emphasise enough about reading. You wouldn't be here had you read first and in the flashing business, if you don't want a sgs3 paper weight you should read first.

Oh and ROMmanager from the marketplace installs clockworkmod for you (ONCE YOU HAVE ROOT) its simple. Just download it from the play story. Click flash recovery. It will load a bit and your done. Then you can reboot into it. ROM manager (the paid version is unnecessary) it just adds extra features you don't yet need. Look at it once you have flashed your first few ROMs.

Best of luck. Let me know and slap that thanks button. I wrote this on my phone.

Hi eddy,

It sounds like you didn't get CWM to stick after your flash with ODIN. You need to uncheck the reboot option in odin and then after the flash is done pull the battery and go directly into CWM loader by booting with the volume up + power + home button method. This will give you cwm rather than the stock loader you seem to be trying to use. You're almost there!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
He also said root wasn't sticking. He needs that before he can cwm to stick
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sxorpyon:
I think he can't install the superuser.zip from cwm after boot because he's allowing the stock rom to overwrite his cwm flash ... he's gotta pull his battery after the odin flash to get root in. That's what worked for me. once he's got root he can use rom manager to upgrade to cwm 6.x
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
He shouldn't need cwm to install. If flashes a firmware with root already injected he can then just use rom manager to install clockworkmod for the first time since rom manager just needs root which he will have. You can root and keep the stock recovery on at the same time

I think his biggest issue is root not sticking. Til he does that cwm wont install

Hi,

I will be getting a HTC One shortly to replace my Galaxy S2. It will be from my local Canadian carrier SaskTel. I plan on flashing CM10 or else the full Google Edition conversion (bootloader, recover and all). What I want to know is how do I do a FULL backup of my stock system? Will a nandroid suffice? I'm new to the HTC world. I'm used to the recovery being part of the kernel. Does nandroid back up the recover partition?

Thank you.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rex2369:
A nandroid backup is enough. But if you are talking about backing up radio, kernel and recovery on your phone I have no idea how to do that. All I know is you can look around for them in the xda forum. But if it's just the ROM you're talking about, a nandroid backup will do.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eradicator006:
Yeah I want to back up everything. In one of the dev threads there's a RUU zip of all of the partitions and radio for the Google Edition. I want to do the same with my stock phone once I get it. There has to be a way to do it because they did it with the GE variant.

Looking through this zip file it looks like they are dd image files. I'm familiar with dd in linux and mac. Does anybody have a list of which block devices correspond to which partition? Also, how do you backup the radio?

Hello,

after more than 2 Years with the IPhone 4 I'll become next week the HTC One Black Vodafone Germany.

Please be so kindly and give me some urgent handling recommendations...do I need a display protection, any cases or whatever....?

Many thanks..... ;)
[One (M7) Accessories] tyler.durden:
It depends on how careful you are with your phone, but I would definitely recommend a case and screen protector to avoid getting scratches, if nothing else.
[One (M7) Accessories] speedmaster.nl:
I'm very careful but I agree with you for a screen protector and a case, any recommendation for the case, I saw the origin HTC bi color case but some people said it makes scratches....!?!
[One (M7) Accessories] sohungry:
That depends on how much protection you want and if you mind covering up the back of the phone (it's nicer than most phones so some people rather not).

http://www.basalent.com/htc-one-2013-m7-hybri-flex-crystal-clear-pctpu-case-white.html

That's the one I have, and I like it a lot. Protects the sides and the back, without covering the aluminum body.
[One (M7) Accessories] felacio:
I never have much issue with screen scratches (usually) but I'd still err on the side of caution and do at the very least a screen protector. I'm going to replace my ZAGG (which I'm hoping is just scratched and not a crack on the screen :eek:) with one of those fancy shmancy glass screen protectors with the rounded edges.
[One (M7) Accessories] sohungry:
Ha ha, I have one of those fancy shmancy glass screen protectors. It feels nice and looks nice, but there are bubbles in the corners :(
[One (M7) Accessories] sauprankul:
TPU skin is good enough if you have good reflexes.

While it is falling, you'll probably break its fall by hitting it up. Plus you can find absolutely clear TPU skins.

A case is a must, screen protector is not.
[One (M7) Accessories] SKyRocKeting727:
What I do is whenever I get a brand new phone, I always start with a good protective case and a screen protector. After a few months, I gradually get thinner cases and usually end up with those 0.3-0.5mm thin cases that makes the phone feel nice and less bulky. If you plan to rock the phone naked, I'd recommend a phone pouch.

Sent from the "ONE" phone for me
[One (M7) Accessories] speedmaster.nl:
Thank you very much for the quick response I'm still searching for a good frame or case, is it true that the origin HTC bi color case leaves scratches on the phone I won't believe it .....?! I also hope that the black version is scratch resistant some people said not......I just talked with a Vodafone assistant to change the black against the silver but he said to me that himself have the black one and I looks quite better and after two month usage without any case he have no scratches. I'll take the black one, it comes next week and I will give you a first impression.

Can't await ;)
[One (M7) Accessories] ro_explorer:
WHY?
[One (M7) Accessories] killman2659:
Its not REALLY a must IMO. The phone actually holds up very well. Yesterday i purposefully put the phone in the same pocket with a bunch of coins and it scratched the aluminum but the scratches wiped right off. If you drop things than that would be a different story at aluminum can easily dent :good:
[One (M7) Accessories] ro_explorer:
That was my point also ... it looks a little exaggerated to say that a case is a must.

I intend to use the phone "naked" indoors. Any case will practically ruin the nice feeling of the phone itself. Of course, if you drop it then there are chances to ruin the nice finish.

I'm also using the phone outdoors, fr sports. For that purpose I ordered a trident kraken ams ... I hope it will do the job.

P.S.: I saw that a OEM housing is "only" 50 bucks, free shipping ... I guess I'll buy one just in case :).
[One (M7) Accessories] 56789:
I would say that if you carry your phone in your pocket a case is a must. I generally like to go case-less (especially with a phone this pretty), but after having my One slip out of my pocket on a couple of occasions, I ended up getting a case (Poetic Atmosphere; the rubberized edges keep it from slipping out). If you intend on getting a pouch of some sort, I think case-free is fine.

Also, I don't have a screen protector and have no scratches, though I tend to be pretty gentle with my phones.
[One (M7) Accessories] sauprankul:
On Etradesupply, the OEM housing is only like 30 bucks.

I say a TPU case is a must because:

1) You WILL drop it at some point, it's anodized AL, not grippy plastic.

2) The case provides a lip, so if you put your phone face down, the screen won't touch the surface & scratch from w/e dirt is there.

3) The case will also keep the camera lens (or the anodized back) from touching any surfaces.

4) I wear a ring, and if I don't put a case on, the ring scratches ONTO the phone. That's not good.

If you're REALLY careful, then none of these matter. but it's hard to be perfect. :)

Besides, when I'm in bed, I can just quickly remove the case for a little bit. It feels nice.
[One (M7) Accessories] iElvis:
This phone is just too good looking to cover up, IMO. I've been going naked since day one I don't have a single scratch on it. The aluminum housing is solid and whatever glass HTC used really resists scratching. My One X screen got covered in microscratches pretty quickly, but I haven't seen anything on this phone.

Just treat it with care and you can forget the case. CNET tried to destroy their test phone and couldn't do it.

[YOUTUBE]q-YJDiyC5IA[/YOUTUBE]
[One (M7) Accessories] ro_explorer:
I have a double dip case bought at once with the phone. Well .. the feeling simply does not compare with the case on. It just loos cheap and plastic'ish ... is worse than galaxy S4 actually. So, with all the risks involved I will go "naked" while in normal use and I will use the kraken ams for outdoors. That's all ...
