[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Qage:
I'm currently have trouble adjusting to this new ROM. I think its one of the best I have tried but I have a problem, the notification bar goes through notifications way to fast (as in showing new text, or email headline) and it really gives me a headache and annoys me.

Is there anyway to change the speed of the notification bar back to stock?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spike96:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "notification speed".

If you mean the amount of notifications, the only way to decrease them is by disabling notifications in each individual app. It has nothing to do with Hyperdrive.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Qage:
Note

Sorry I should of explained better, In the stock Touchwiz if you notice when you get a text it shows what the message says at the notification bar without pulling it down, then it shows the icon in the top. The speed of which it shows the message is much faster than stock. Hope you understand..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spike96:
AH, I see what you mean now. I'm running Hyperdrive as well, but I honestly never noticed it. I doubt there is a way to change it, but I would post in the Hyperdrive thread. There are many knowledgeable S4 users in that thread. ;)

Also, it's possible Sbreen94 wasn't aware of the notification speed and he can fix it in future versions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Qage:
ok

Yea I did not think I could do much about it.. Thanks for the help.. sadly I cant post over there until I post 10 posts lol

It was mentioned in the thread covering all glass screen protectors that there wasa production issue with the feather. Those that had initially ordered were offered to swap to the ghost glass instead of waiting for the feather issue to be sorted out. I'm interested in the feather also, still waiting and checking the MIME site for any updates. No indication so far as to when they will be back in stock.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
Hello. I've flashed a few roms, kernels; done factory resets, etc., and not until recently have I had this problem. Admittedly, I never had playlists in Poweramp either.

Anyhow, I flashed a new rom and restored everything, and had very few problems, as is usually the case.

This time, all of my Poweramp playlists didn't get restored. It wouldn't be that big of a deal, but I did put a moderate amount of time building them. I've attempted to restore both the Poweramp main app and the unlocker, in different orders a couple of times, and when I go to add a song to one of my playlists, it still reports that there are none.

Any ideas here? Thanks.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RavenB:
Well,hey guys,my first thread...

okay,i had this problem and couldn't find any reasons for it,cause i even reflashed wifi modules and even re-put the original .db file back and mot working again...

and then,just one or two days ago i found the reason.

it was gobackup app,when i was trying to restore my sms and contacts backup,it always restored the wifi access point names too and i didn't care 'bout that too much but i found out that it was always this app that killed(!lol)the wifi...

and also the only possible solution i found:Re-flashing The Rom.

so if i were you i would have stayed as far as possible from this app.

okay,this was my diagnosis,RavenB out(lol i just played Gears of War ten minutes ago...lol)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mscion:
I was wondering if there is a launcher that preserves the size and aspect ratio of icons and widgets when you go from portrait to landscape.

I used to love how my Nokia N900 could do this. Basically you would arrange where your apps/widgets were on the screen separately in

portrait and next in landscape. Then instead of your typical rotating transition from portrait to landscape, where often the widgets become

distorted, the screen image would flip about an axis so it appeared as if the apps/widgets for landscape and portrait were on opposite sides of a plane that made

up the screen. Not sure who originally came up with this idea but developers for maemo os Incorporated

this for N900 after Nokia dropped support for the device...

I was lurking Mycolourscreen and found this screen which I found really nice but the creator haven't mentioned any details on how to create a screen like this! I wonder if any one of you could tell me kindly? I like it a lot!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neverfox:
I've reached my upgrade date with VZW and it's time to retire our HTC Thunderbolts. We can upgrade to the S3 for $20 or the S4 for $150 (through Amazon) each. I won't bother with a highly-subjective "which is better?" kind of question but I am curious about what the prospects are for S3 custom ROMs continuing to receive love now that the new toys are likely to grab a lot of attention from developers. The thing that would weigh heavily against the budget option for me would be arriving on a dead or dying custom scene, where I'm basically left with whatever was around when the S4 dropped. That's what basically happened with my Thunderbolt when the Rezound and other phones were released, though it took about 6 months before ROM updates and bug fixes just stopped altogether for most ROMs. I haven't had time to explore all of the forums to try to take the temperature so I thought I would drop this quick inquiry to those who might know enough already to share their thoughts on the matter. If nothing else about the differences between the phones mattered to you, would the trends in ROM development alone sway you from an S3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Development is obviously going to slow. S4 development is taking off quickly now.

However, just because development may be slowing down for touchwiz doesn't mean there aren't great options available. There are still great devs who are pushing out touchwiz updates constantly. Additionally, AOSP roms will constantly be updated much longer than touchwiz roms will.

The S4 is definitely a better phone, but i can't really justify paying that much more for it. I'm getting every feature I want from current custom touchwiz roms on the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
Not sure if I'm 100% correct but I believe the new ota broke root. That's something to factor in. You could also buy them and sell them on swappa, the cheapest is going for $515. There's also the upcoming moto x or wherever they are calling it. But then you have to wait and see if it's locked.

If I had the upgrade, I would buy them, play with for awhile and sell them and buy a cheaper s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neverfox:
Very helpful. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neverfox:
That's something I meant to clarify. I've been hearing all the buzz about that regarding the S4, but does that also affect the S3? It would definitely seal the deal for me if the S4 had a chance of coming out-of-the-box locked up tight. I was thinking that with the S3 being older, it's less likely to come out of the box with that particular update (assuming it applies to the S3 at all) already on it, giving me a chance to root and customize right away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I'm sure they are still shipping phones that do not have the update. You would just need to verify the build. Not sure how easy that is though. I'm not for sure but I assume you could downgrade the update, I guess being locked effects future roms being based on the new ota. I'm sure they will root it, I hope so.

Again, I'm not 100% sure but I'm confident in that the new ota broke root.

May want to wait for the official moto x announcement on Aug 1. It may be priced very aggressively and leaked specs point to a phone between the gs3 and gs4.

Hi there,

I have been experiencing some issues on Google Edition 4.2.2 camera app.

I tried 4.3 camera apk and issues are still there...

When I take a picture directly from Whatsapp a preview picture with the "Yes" and "Cancel" marks is shown. The thing is that the preview picture does not match the taken picture!!! It is slightly different, there is a delay between pictures.

Then I say...."Oh, ok, that picture is good, attach it" and then whatsapp sends a different picture :confused:

I thought that it was a Whatsapp issue...but the thing is that when I take a picture directly from Camera apk, a little "preview" of the picture is shown on upper right corner. And that preview is NOT the taken picture.

Anybody else ?

Same problem here, but in stock rom 4.2.2

When I take a picture (when i tried it was without flash, maybe the problem is there because the exposure time or something) i get a preview that doesn't match the actual picture stored in the gallery, it's like the real capture is being taken after the preview. It's very noticeable when the target is moving...

Anyone?

I think flashing just the modem causes no issue until all Android's you use are in the same version i.e 4.1.x since 4.2+ requires a different modem(baseband to work). I just did say that in YouTube and read in xda!

When I downloaded it, all of my apps started crashing, so I did a factory reset. However, that did not fix the issue. AT&T keeps trying to tell me it's hardware related (I know it's not), and they want me to pay for a replacement. Does anyone else have this issue?

Hey guys,

the Galaxy S3 of my mother is no longer working properly, I am not a Newbie in flashing and stuff but I could use some help.

When turned on, the device only shows the very first Samung Logo (no animation) and sticks with it forever.

There is no custom rom flashed, my mother said it happend after die Phone crashed.

At first I didn't think it was so much of a problem, but it does not boot into recovery aswell..

The only thing that is available is the download mode. I tryed flashing another rom using Odin, but it aint working.. It stops when it comes to NAND writing and the operation fails. I have only Samung drivers installed (kies not running) and tryed two PCs already.

I don't know what else I can do. I read that flashing via Odin can sometimes fail because of bad cache.. in this case there is nothing I can do!?

Any Ideas?

My Mother needs this phone for work so I don't want to send it in, because it will surely take its time..

Thanks in advance!

I'm currently back to stock rom now because of this issue, so I use odin to root my cell via this tutorial I watched on youtube.

Any hoot, I have rooted my cell 4 times thus far, now the first two times I was able to remove the battery with out any problems. After that though is were my problem starts, when I take the battery out or shut the cell completely off after I root to Cyanogen mod (Latest) I get the Cell Needs to be Activated crap and the Error 16 message! So I guess my question is what the hell lol, what am I doing wrong, is there a better tutorial than the above I should be doing? why does my cell keep doing that? I have had to call sprint 4 times two other times not counting the issue I am talking about of course!

Please help me, I can't seem to figure out if I am doing anything wrong, I root the cell, I get it all up and running than bam the activate screen pops up any time I remove the battery, turn the phone of completely, or even restart now that I think about it! If I leave the stock rom on there every thing is honky doory, I can remove the battery, power off an on the phone and even restart, so any help would be wonderful!

Is this the only currently known method for unlocking bootloader on P769 v20f?
