[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
An initial boot takes a long sometimes, try to boot it up again and let it sit. 10 minutes isn't too unusual.

If that still doesn't work, a factory reset in recovery should fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thetestis:
after the third try I got it working.. loving MOAR.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] f0nz0:
Did you do anything special to get it to work? I'm currently stuck on the "android" animation boot screen, I've reflashed, reformatted, wiped, and still can't get by this screen, I've let it sit for up to 20 minutes...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sjpritch25:
Was your battery charged fully?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thebear j koss:
you need to do a complete factory+data reset. not just wipe dalvik and cache. wipe system and data as well for good measure.

So after basically a terrible customer service experience with Spigen, I'm thinking of getting a different brand of protectors. I like the feel/look/discreetness of the Spigen, but want to know what you guys have otherwise.

If you want something cheap I use the Tech Armor HD Clear Protectors

Can't post links yet, but check amazon.

I have been using the zagg hd on my s4 and s3. Its a good screen protector but it doesnt go quite near enough to the edge of the phone like the s3 did. Basically to the edge of the screen on the sides. Very clear and silky smooth, no finger drag.

I use the Rearth USA Invisible Defender. Prone to fingerprints but does not take away from the beautiful screen.

3 pack from Amazon is $6. First one went on perfect too. Easy to install.

I just put on my Zagg Extreme 3 days ago. I have been using Zagg since the original iPhone and love them. The extreme is twice as thick as the normal one, which I like much better. It does takes a few days to get full clarity though.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 804Hokie:
So, has anyone had any difficulty using a Seido Surface case with the Tech Armor Ballistic Glass screen protector?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] optimummind:
I like the Zagg HD. I've used it before with the E4GT and now the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] siraj.prince:
I would suggest InvisibleShield. I stick to the classic version. Got a few specks under the film when installing, but I can deal with that. I like the grip and the orange peel effect has never bothered me. I tried Ghost Armor, and it really was an inferior product.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 804Hokie:
Even with professional installation, the Zagg Invisible Shields keep losing adhesion in the upper-left corner. I'm trying the Tech Armor Ballistic Glass next, but getting the replacement Zagg sent as a backup. I do appreciate the scratch protection afforded by Zagg, but don't like the rubbery feel, nor the orange peel effect. There's no substitute for the responsiveness and feel of glass.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 88 Keys:
So can anyone tell me if the glass screen protectors do anything to protect the screen from breaking?

Been considering getting a glass screen prortector in hopes that they would do something more to protect the glass from breakage on my new S4. A friend of mine broke his screen 1 month after he got it and I am going to attempt to replace it as soon as the glass comes in lol. (I make no promises of success)

So far I've been lucky enough to only break the glass on one phone which was my old iPhone 3Gs which was my dumb fault for having a case that didn't extend over the top of the glass.

Of course there is still no way (that I'm aware of) to protect the glass against direct impacts like if you drop it on a pointy object like a rock.

If it's what it's cracked up to be (no pun inteded), I may consider going caseless with this phone seeing as the back is replaceable.

I got the spigen nano slim and I must say that I love it.

I had one of the cheap ones from eBay and it was thick and sometimes interfered with my hot touch buttons. And it chipped under where the home button is. I would avoid eBay for glass protectors.

Spigen took over a week to mail out my nano. I even emailed them about it. Apparently it can take up to two weeks for them to mail it out, wtf? And they happened to respond to my email the day I get the email with a tracking number in it. Then it got to me in two days! From California to ky that is a quick delivery.

The nano came with three different colors of gel home buttons and a non glass protector for the back of your phone. But the price is high on it.

Just something to think about.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Oniyuri:
My husband and I are both looking at purchasing the spigen glas.t nano slim screen protectors. Can anyone tell me if it makes a deep recess at the home button? I'm not quite sure if I'd want to apply those little gel buttons.

I'm currently using the Tech Armor HD screen protectors and they seem to permanently absorb oil until you wash it with water. Wiping it with anything just pushes the oil around.

Ain't cheap but it's perfect. And the replacement cost 1/3 the price. Smooth tempered glass with perfect, bubble free adhesion.

I had a ghost armor set on my iPhone. I liked it, but personal preference I guess. I like the fact they have kiosks in the malls around my area, which makes it easy to replace. I would go a few months and take it and have it replaced for 10$.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CSaab900:
I've been toying with the idea of just downloading the Samsung update of 4.1.2 instead of CM10.1. My Captivate is running CM10.1, but only because 2.3.5 was the latest version of Android available. Should I go with 4.1.2 just to see if I like it first? I really like CyanogenMod, but will I be just as happy with 4.1.2? Will I still be able to use Kies even though my phone is already rooted and CWM is installed? All thoughts are appreciated!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loveandroidman:
why we can't flash galaxy S4 software on Galaxy S3? I mean the official rom , and why the odin refuses the rom when I try to flash it? I know because the software is working only on S4 because the hardware like installing apple mac on PC but is their any way to make odin pass the software to S3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny044:
I think that there's no way you can flash gs4 rom on gs3...you can only brick your phone like that.

Why don't you just root your phone and flash any custom gs4 like rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loveandroidman:
because I want to get the new S4 features like smart scroll , smart pause ... etc

Glamour S4 rom developer ported all the S4 smart features in his rom but nothing working yet and he said all that features will work in another fix , so why till now the S4 features don't work on S3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechRejectz:
That will never work because they are 2 different devices. It will lead to an expensive paperweight. Some features will come to the S3 in future updates. Some will not for two reasons. The S3s hardware doesn't support the feature (ex. Temperature sensors) or because Samsung is beginning to move on from the S3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
For the same reason you cant flash the HTC one os on your s3. Its a different device with different hardware, ergo different drivers.

If they kept the same hardware, it wouldn't be an upgrade

Hi team,

I am experiencing issues with the signal refresh taking a awful time on the First at India. I acknowledge there are issues at my place due to surrounding buildings but other androids on the same carrier and even Nokias perform better and get the signal refresh faster.

I am losing important calls and messages due to this issue and have to be handling the mobile from one room where the signal is better but thats not real use of a mobile !!

The device is unlocked and I have changed the network mode to GSM only from the testing mode as I use 2G services only here

Any ideas to help me overcome the issue will help..?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattoaida:
I was wondering if anyone could give me an answer to this question its not about the n4 but I was hoping an n4 user could answer this.

So if I created a phone with my hardware would I be able to put Android (aosp) and sell it. And would I need permission by Google to sell it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
I think if it only had basic aosp on it with no Google proprietary stuff included. I think once you start including anything like playstore etc then I think you have to work out the licensing worth them. Google sent out a cease and decist letter to not include their stuff on cm roms even though they are producing them for free. I'm sure in the terms it states exactly what is and isn't okay though. If you could find that it might give you the best answer.

Edit: check on your phone under settings/about_phone/legal would be the best place to start.

Hi Guys

I have an XDA2i as follows:

Rom - 1.10.00 WWE

Radio 1.00.00

Protocol 1337.39

Extrom 1.10.124 WWE

When I install the bluetooth earpiece it works fine until I install the Tom Tom software when the bluetooth GPS works great but I get an error when I try to conect to the earpiece (connection failed or something like that). If I uninstall the Tom Tom the earpiece works again. I've tried a different earpiece and I get the same error.

In otherwords I cant get the tom tom bluetooth GPS and the bluetooth earpiece working at the same time or even just when tom tom is installed and not running.

Anyone know where I am going wrong here?
[General Topics] Fritz:
A quick update for you all...

Tom Tom customer suport finally answered my query and suggested that I might have a port conflict....well the GPS receiver is port 6 but I don;t know what port the earpiece uses and dont know how to find out...perhaps someone could let me know.

Anyway, I had a blunder about and finally downloaded the latest Tom Tom GPS update which after a few resets (4 or 5) seems to have resolved the problem.

One other slight problem, well inconvenience is that when I install tom tom I get duplicate and occasionally triplicate short cuts in the programs menu......Its no biggy cos I jus delete them via file manager still it would be nice to know why this happens

Anyone know?

I am currently using [MENTION=3322708]albinoman887[/MENTION] 's CyanogenMod 10.1.2 ROM for my Velocity and the 4G LTE performance is fairly bad. On SpeedTestdotnet I am getting about 15 Mb/s download (and 60 KILObytes/s on 3G).

Could this be connected with the incorrect display of reception? I get a string of impossible numbers of dBm (with approximately 220 ASU) and the bars icon always shows 3 bars.

I'd post this on the development thread for the ROM, but I'm not allowed to, yet.

[One (M7) Android Development] hillbeast:
This is very similar to my hugely popular mod for the Nexus 7 that I did. I did this because it seems CM on the One doesn't support 720p or 1080p, so maybe some vloggers or people who like to take videos of themselves (vain people?) would enjoy this very simple modification.

I got 1080p video recording working on my One under CM and felt you guys should know about this too. It's a simple fix as it's not a limitation of hardware or a kernel function or anything, rather for some reason HTC is using a weird way to enable 1080p in the stock firmware that doesn't carry over to CM. They aren't using the media_profiles.xml. This mod includes 1080p recording for the front camera, as well as some alterations to the bitrate of the audio and video to give it slightly better quality in the output videos. You won't really notice it unless you're really trying, but it's little things that all add up to give a better experience.

This is NOT needed under stock ROMs

Somehow, HTC have made their camera application NOT need to read the media_profiles.xml, and as a result the stock ROM does not need this modification. Only CM based ROMs need this. I don't know if it's needed under the Google Edition firmware or not. You'll have to let me know.

How To Install

Download the zip (M7-1080p-Camera-for-CM)

Reboot to recovery

Install

Reboot to Android

???

PROFIT!

The Mod

It's the same deal as on the Nexus 7: simply use my attached pre-modified file and push it to /system/etc/media_profiles.xml. I expect the permissions will be 644.

How It Works

I had to explain this on the Nexus 7, so I'll explain it again. The hardware already supports this functionality as the camera itself just sends RAW information to the processor, and then based on the settings the processor is given by Android, the processor encodes it in the format it's been told to, for example for the rear camera it would be told to record 1920x1080 @ a certain bitrate to H.264. The processor itself doesn't tell Android what the hardware is capable of (and considering the Snapdragon 600s enormous video encoder capabilities, they're very high), Android is told what it can do by the file media_profiles.xml.

No this will not improve video quality in Skype/Hangouts/whatever other thing you want to do, this will only work for video recording applications.

Download Link

Check the attachments below. There are two files: media_profiles and M7-1080p-Camera-for-CM - media_profiles is JUST the XML file, and M7-1080p-Camera-for-CM is the installer for CWM/TWRP. Most users will want that. Just install it from in CM.
