[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daml:
I own a 5 inch chinese android phone. 1080p screen etc. Its a pretty mediocre phone so isn't in use. Basically i wanted to either find a case like this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...-with-Stand-Cover-Case-for-7-9/958953702.html ..something that will allow me to turn it into a mini laptop/umpc...OR... does anyone have suggestions on making a housing? I will be disasembling it if i cant find a case and costom building....

My idea was to use a nintendo ds housing and a mini bluetooth keyboard..

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Full...l-for-Nintendo-DSi-Color-white/383335198.html

Please dont ask why I would want to do this, its basically just because i can! I am currently porting linux to the device so should be a worthy little UMPC

You know, make something like the Pandora console without the gaming functionality...

Cheers

hey so my sprint s3 is setup to run on vm, via my donor. i cant seem to get text or calls at the moment could use assistance

update: i called virgin and they reset my acct, now i have text and calling, still could used assistance getting mms and data going possibly 3g?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phatboyslim:
hey so the s3 is running on virgin data sms calls and im testing mms now...

the phone says 3g but i know the s3 likes to be in 1x and say 3g, so i ran a speed test, its dl 111k up 152k id say thats at 1x speed correct?

anyway i set it up to run at 3g, and the signal is less than it could be, it has the virgin stock prl, "same as evo v"

will a faster sprint prl fix 3g speed or do you guys think i missed something?

i also noticed it takes a few seconds to connect to mobile network
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
PRL has almost nothing to do with data speeds

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phatboyslim:
Thanks, ill keep that in mind.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lvpre:
I thought they changed it so you could bring any sprint phone to use on virgin mobile or boost? Plus, has anyone noticed that you can purchase an s3 outright on virgin mobile for 339 online? It is around 650 on the big 4 carriers. Strange, since the virgin and sprint phone are probably pretty similar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phatboyslim:
Yea they offer the s3 on virgin but I got my s3 at an 1/8th of the vm price @ $399 where I am. Boost and sprint both offer phone swaps. I called vm and they were very persistant on the fact only vm phones were allowed on there network.

The reason data is low on the s3 I have Is due to bad service, both other phones I that are here get great signal and are on 61009 and the s3 is on 61008
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phatboyslim:
ok so after testing the phone, mms is not working, i believe that 3g is also not working even though it says 3g.

i tried manually inputting the mms settings as well under data menu

i did update to the newest virgin prl and it added 2-3 bars and better service...

i can ad screenshots of dfs, and the phone if needed, can i save the settings from the evo v in dfs and transfer them over???
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Omeg:
Hello,

I'm trying to install CM 10.1 on my HTC One on T-Mobile. Im using CWM Touch v6.0.3.3. I've tried flashing both the 7/28 and the 7/27 daily builds of CM 10.1 as found on the cyanogenmod website. I selected the T-Mobile version of the software "m7tmo.zip" and tried uploading it, but got the error "status 7". It says "assert device: getprop" and then says a bunch of code about the product names "m7" and "m7tmo". So somehow I think there's a problem with the device and the software matching, even though I'm pretty sure I'm getting it from the official place. Currently I'm using the stock Sense 5 firmware, but I don't have Google Play access because I mistakenly installed the gapps. package (for Android 4.2). Does any one know of CM builds that work right now? And in the short term (and for my own edification), is it possible to download an older version of the gapps package that works with Android 4.1 that I can use?

Thanks for all your help!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] PhoenixPath:

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Omeg:
Thanks for the link. I'm downloading the older version of GApps now. A little while ago I tried installing the older GApps package straight through ROM Manager but I don't think it worked. I'm still having trouble, except now I can't get into the play store and Drive won't sync, but other google services (gmail, etc) are working. Somehow, trying to install the GApps package via ROM Manager seems to have broken ROM Manager itself - I get an error message when I try to run it... and of course I can't just uninstall because I don't have Google Play access :eek:.

As for using TWRM, I tried already, but for some reason I don't see any files come up when I try installing a .zip package. I'm pretty sure I'm in the right spot and yet TWRM only ever shows directories with no files in any of them.

I think it's also worth mentioning that I have S-ON still, and the only methods I've seen to get S-OFF involve downloading apps from the play store which I don't have (ie. some terminal emulator and a different ROM app). I know its possible to do it through a computer but I haven't been able to find good documentation on how to do it.

So I think my troubleshooting flow chart looks something like this:

Fix Play store error > use terminal emulator to turn S-OFF > flash a better recovery file > install ROM of choice (after some more research I think i'll go with SentinelMod, any one use that one?)

Thanks again for the help folks!

Well the whole point of this app was to provide users who have the ambient temperature and humidity sensors a simple to use app that follows the holo theme guidelines but seeing as a lot of people want a holo themed app for temperature and stuff so I'll see what I can do. The android API does provide a way of getting the device's temperature but was deprecated and replaced with ambient temperature sensor in api level 14. Using the device's temperature sensor is not as accurate as the ambient temperature sensor.
[Android Apps and Games] spotdog14:
What other phones have an ambient temperature sensor?
[Android Apps and Games] H3R3T1C:
As far as I know only the Samsung Galaxy S4 has an ambient temperature sensor.
[Android Apps and Games] kosmocos:
Galaxy Note 3 also has ambient temperature sensor.

Is there any way to calibrate the pressure ? And a widget with temperature, humidity and pressure together.

this is just weird, as i have been installing custom ROM like crazy...

but for some time i was on CM 10.1.2 and didnt install any custom ROM, but i felt like coming back to TW based ROMs, so tried installing DeTmobilized 1.5, but phone stuck at boot screen, i tried to restart by pulling battery out but phone displayed "encryption failed" and kept on showing phone.apk stopped working (something similar). so i decided to ODIN to stock and start fresh, this time i tried installed Dandroid 3.8.1 and it worked, so i thought of giving DeTmobilized one more try, but again it got stuck at samsung letters at the boot.

so i decided to stick with Dandroid for a while, but now i cannot install that too. it gets stuck while booting. but if i ODIN to stock everything works fine on stock firmware, its only the custom ROMs that are not working.

i also tried repartitioning using PIT file along with stock md5 hoping that would solve this issue, but it hasnt.

i need help, i cannot stay on stock ROM.

thank you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
boot into recovery and wipe cache partition along with davik, that should fix the stuck

also do remember first boot will always take a while

also make sure you're using the latest custom recovery (either twrp or cwm)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chirantan.f:
i would also like to note here that i tried installing AOSP based ROMs also, and AOKP didnt work, got stuck at nexus like boot animation forever, but when i tried installing CM10.1.2 (which is what i was running when i tried to get back to TW based ROM) it worked perfectly, so for now i am back to CM, but i would really get back to flashing different ROMs and trying them out. just makes me wonder if CM is the reason i am not able to install anything else, just a thought...

has anybody else tried going to any other ROMs from CM 10.1.2?

your help is appreciated! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chirantan.f:
thanks for your reply, but i have tried doing that, i also wipe data and system along with cache and dalvik before installing any new ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chirantan.f:
i have latest recovery , TWRP 2.6.0.0 and i have given more than an hour to boot up and still nothing. i have been flashing ROMs like an addict since i got this phone last year, but when CM 10.1 stable was released i stayed on it till today, but now i cannot install any other ROM, i can odin to stock 4.1.1 ROM or install cm 10.1.2 which i did just now, but no other ROM, either TW based on AOSP based is working...which is very weird for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vjnag81:
Were you able to fix this issue at all? I am facing the same issue, in my case, the phone was encrypted on stock TW. I roooted and put in CM 10.1.2 and now when I try installing Dandroid, the install itself would work but I am struck at the "type password to unlock the screen". If I reflash CM10.1.2, I can login fine. Any pointers?

So I dont know if you are rooted or not, but regardless of, I have had bad luck with the touchwiz luncher. Why do I think it is touchwiz launcher??? Everytime I install a new ROM based off stock ROM my phone starts rebooting like crazy. I would said try a different launcher. I use Nova launcher, but Apex launcher seems to be the same thing. Try to unistall or disable touchwiz too after you installed another launcher.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tparnet:
Alright here is my situation. I ran the latest OTA update on the stock rom and the phone started going into

a boot loop. My problem is that I havent performed a recent backup and need to access some files on the

phone. Developer mode is enabled, however I disabled USB debugging prior to running the update. When my

phone reboots, I remove the battery and restart the phone but every once in a while my phone successfully

loads and I am able to punch in my pin to unlock the phone. However, a few seconds later the phone reboots.

I tried to access the phone using ADB but because I dont have USB debugging enabled I dont see any devices

when I run the "adb devices" command. I also tried to acquire a smartphone image using encase forensic, but

yet again, because USB debuggin is not enabled, I am not able to pull data.

I am able to go into recovery mode and I tried to wipe my cache partition, but that did not help.

My questions are:

1. Is there a way for me to access my data files while the phone is stuck in a boot loop and USB debugging is

disabled?

2. Is it possible for me to download the latest update, copy it over to my sdcard and rerun the update from

my sdcard from recovery mode? Could this possibly solve my problem?

3. In a worst case scenario, if I do a factory wipe/reset, will this solve my problem and what is the

likelyhood of recovering my files from the data partition?

Any tips, tricks, advice is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] svs57:
Boot phone into recovery mode. You can access phone now and make backup or download need files to PC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] tparnet:
Thanks svs57 for the quick reply.

Would you mind elaborating a bit more? I am an IT guy but by no means a developer. When I boot into recovery is the phone supposed to show up in My Computer via MTP or PTP? The phone is not showing up as a device. Or am I supposed to use adb commands to pull the files down?

When I go into recovery and run the "adb devices" command now I get what appears to be a serial number followed by the word "unauthorized". I rebooted and went into recovery mode again this time tried "apply update from ADB". When I try using either the adb push or adb pull I get "error: closed"

Thanks again for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] svs57:
You have to use latest version of adb. Then you can login to phone via adb and find file you want to backup. Then use "adb pull" to get file to PC.

If you have custom recovery you also can make backup you data using recovery.

Also you can flash the same ROM you have without wipe data.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
I would start by undoing the changes you did with system tuner. Looks like whatever you did has screwed you gsf.

The other wakelocks like wlan and audio out look normal. Audio out is just any sound played by the phone and for me it includes sounds while the phone is in use as well. Don't know why it shows as a wakelock but it does.

I prefer to just disable the apps I don't want in settings / application manager combined with greenify. Use things like bbs / wakelock detector / gsam to find out what else is using battery after that. From what I know gsg / google talk wakelocks still occur even after disabling the app but really that wakelock uses very little battery anyway. Our it should.

Another biggie for me was to to turn off network location in location settings. I only leave gps on.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xuserx0895:
I did like you said , and the wakelocks are gone now . Gonna try greenify app soon . Thanks bro :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Great stuff! I usually keep away from battery saving apps but greenify is different. It is one brilliant app and has absolutely reduced my wakelocks. Once the screen goes off it just puts stuff to sleep. Much better than freezing them.

But stuff like Talk and Google+ I have disabled from settings / application manager. Couldn't be happier with my battery life now.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xuserx0895:
After you disable Talk and Google+ , does it kill your wakelock ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
There will always still be some wakelocks but as you can see, I can live with 19 seconds in half a day.

That's on my S3 4g with 91% battery left. On my S4 the wakelock is 29 seconds after 13 hours with 19% battery usage and 52 minutes of screen on time.

Guys I'm curious....Will we be able to stream games from our PC via an outside(ie McDonalds, a casino, etc) WiFi Hotspot to the Shield? Or is it strictly for home use and very short distances?
[Shield Q&A] Deleted member 5103593:
The NVidia Shield cannot stream over anything than a Wireless Area Network (WAN), not the actual Internet. The latency is not only too high, but public Wi-Fi would also be very unsuitable to stream any game. Plus, you would need a literal computer tower inside the McDonalds... so no.
