[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4333722:
Forgive me if something like this has already been asked. I was wondering if I took the adb.exe and the other files from the developer kit and put them in system32 on Windows, would I be able to access adb without having to cd to the folder with adb saved? It's not always optimal to have a folder of apk's and other things I've been sideloading to different devices. Thoughts?

[Motorola Droid X2] Lenster45:
I have been using Eclipse 2.3 for sometime now and I have occasionally booted into recovery and backed up everything. Having come from the OG Droid, I am used to Nandriod and know how to restore from a Nandroid backup but the DX2 under eclipse is confusing me.

If I flashed a different ROM and then decided to go back to my Eclipse setup How would I go about restoring the Eclipse backup I made?

[Motorola Droid X2] Juice3250:
Eclipse runs on gb 2.3.5. Cm7, 9, 10, AOKP, and pretty much every other rom runs on gb 2.3.4. You would need to make sure you are running 2.3.5 before you restore your nandroid backup.

So, for example, if you're running Cm7 and you want to go back and restore your Eclipse backup. You would need to SBF back to 2.3.5, root, install cwm recovery and restore the backup in the custom recovery.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
Hi,

I'm thinking of getting rid of my S3 LTE for a Nexus 4, as one thing that really irritates me about my s3 is that scrolling is not smooth with apps such as facebook, or any apps with listviews and images.

I've read that the nexus 4 is "buttery smooth", so I just wanted to ask, does the nexus 4 have this problem or not? I am amazed that my 1.4ghz processor can run hd games but cant scroll a listview smoothly, which leads me to think theres something wrong with the s3.

Any feedback on the nexus 4's smoothness is much appreciated.

Cheers,

Jack
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmdc2y0:
Same thing with nexus 4 scrolling within apps is jittery not smooth. But I think its an app issue because on some apps like currents it scrolls smoothly but on apps like xda it is not.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
hmm thats sad to hear it happens on the nexus 4 too.

I thought it was just bad coding, but even in the play store, when I scroll down the homepage and images are loaded there is lag here as well.

For me it's really noticeable and not smooth, I can't believe iOS can perfect this with half the hardware resources but android cant.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhiab:
I don't have that problem on mine @ all.

Everything is pretty fluid.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
So when you scroll the Facebook app at a fairly slow speed, do you notice no ever so slight glitches? Like its dropping frames? I notice this a lot on my s3.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
OK first thing you have to understand. Not all androids are the same. How the OS interacts with the hardware is very different from one device to another. With android being still in its baby stages you will find lag from time to time no matter what device you use. Apple can control all aspects of the hardware and software so they will always have an advantage. You have to remember even the OS is not designed to take advantage of anything more then a dual core. Android has a long way to go still.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
Ive been playing around, and if Ive found that the nexus 4 sets the min cpu frequency to 1026mhz when the screen is touched, and it appears my s3 only sets it to 800mhz. If i set my min frequency to 1.4ghz my scrolling is super smooth. I guess it's an s3 problem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filthykid:
S3 is optimized to run the day to day routine tasks under 800 mhz. I installed android tuner and it kept reporting so about s3. Wasn't the case with my n4. N4 showed 1xx ghz or1.5 ghz... Somewhere between.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackpf:
I've changed my CPU governor from pegasusq to interactive which appears to be using more power when doing things, which is giving me much better performance including scrolling. I was on the verge of selling my s3 and getting an n4 before I found this! Its fairly smooth now though.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micxploed:
I heard on a video review that the Xperia z has a factory screen protector on it. If you peel it off the Sony brand onto comes off too. Is that why the glass dosent feel smooth?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Yeah, there is a "shatterproof" screen protector preinstalled on the Z, and all of the Sony Xperia and Walkman devices.

It doesn't prevent the screen from breaking, but as a protection to keep the broken glass from falling to pieces and making you harm.

And yes, if you peel it off, the Sony logo will come out, as it is imprinted in the plastic shield, rather than on the body of the phone, and it is also the reason the screen feels rubbery.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micxploed:
So it's obviously not ment to be taken off. You would think Sony would step up their cell phone game with all the competition. To me Sony still hasn't fused well with android.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] phreakvbhc:
In short, I bought a network locked HTC Vivid (at&t) to be used on tmobile and was provided with this unlock code from at&t.... sooo I figured I'd share, considering all the wonderful info I've found here. I am curious as to if this code can be used to unlock other HTC phones from at&t. Hopefully someone can confirm this.

HTC Vivid Unlock Code: 88339447

Just enter it at the sim unlock prompt and there ya go.

May be worth a sticky...:fingers-crossed:

There is a thread for unlocking with software in the dev section...

Um...

Yeah, your best bet is to do a software unlock. Like someone just said, the subsidy unlock code (which is what you provided) is in fact calculated using the IMEI from your phone; and not universal.

But thanks anyway... ha ha:eek:

Has anyone found out how to root the vrbmf1 update yet? I've look around and can't seem to find a good enough guide or video on how to do so. If anyone has information on it can you please send me a msg.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
There is one method in the android development section it has been there for months and it's the first post. There are to others that have been updated since it was posted last year also in the android development section. Lastly all the methods work you just have to CAREFULLY follow directions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fofocudlypoops:
Yes its hard yo find all the tight files I have Odin 307 I think do you know if that will work with the files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Yes it will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fofocudlypoops:
Is it beanstwon method that you are referring to?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Yes it doesn't require Odin. It is just a one click method.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fofocudlypoops:
Oh OK I read a lot of the comments and they are positive feedback but as I watched on this guy on YouTube his comment section are loaded with this "messed up my phone" or "don't do this this doesn't work" very little comments that said this worked for me. If this doesn't work on the first try I understand using another USB port on the computer is an option and using a different cord other than the one Samsung gives you is also an option. Is there anything to know about before doing this? This phone s my daily driver and I really don't want to have to use a prepaid phone.

And Should I also download the stock ROM not rooted before doing in case it does like some kind of soft brick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Well I have never tried the one click method as I use Odin to root my phone. So get the stock roms as backup in case you run into problems with casual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fofocudlypoops:
OK thank you so much for the advice and I'll shall let you know what happens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fofocudlypoops:
One more question before I do this. Will I still be able to get back to stock like usual if its a hard brick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bbqsfire:
If you hard brick your phone you send it to jtag and pay them to get it fixed because nothing else works.

If you are feeling squeamish about the whole thing then it is probably a better idea not to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fofocudlypoops:
You are right I an a bite on the edge about it because of its locked boot loader I have dine root before but it was on at&t

Not verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
No you will need jtag services to fix hardware bricks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RipRip:
Just thought you might like to know that I just used CASUAL this morning to root my galaxy s3 on Verizon build VRBMF1 with no problem. CASUAL unlocks the bootloader and installs TWRP which I like so far. Just make sure you grab the right download and if it doesn't work the first time try again with a different mirror. There's a version of it floating around out there that for some reason wouldn't work with my drivers.

Hope this helps ease your mind a little. Oh btw I probably read 1000 posts about rooting and the best method and someone claims to have bricked their with every single one of them. It's a risk we take.

ok so I was getting very short on available space so i went in and started deleting things (my fault I know). I have been on 4.2.2 so all my files were in "0". I figured since they were all in that file and I had everything doubled in that file, i started deleting everything in my other file and just kept everything that was in "0". Went to flash a new Rom and all my files were now gone. I deleted all my backups in that file also (I'm kicking myself right now).

So now I'm stuck in Recovery with nothing i can do. What can I do now??

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue6IX:
Amazon is running a sale on the fire HD 7" - I ordered one last night and it was here when I woke up a little while ago.

I really like it so far, though all I have done was put a screen protector on it as soon as I opened it and turned it on/worked through setup.

The display is nice and crisp, the screen responsive.

I got it to take advantage of the stuff being amazon prime gives me - streaming video and so on while out and about, as I travel around the country for work. I generally don't want to lug my computer around where the tablet is nice and small.

Obviously here is the first place I come as i'd like to root and get the play store on to add my years of apps to it.

I've been with a variety of (at the time) high end android devices now, so at first blush in the hour i've owned it as my own, and not some display model, i'm very satisfied for the price. ($159 free shipping, direct from amazon.)

Edit:

It's nice how well it works with the amazon services, it was easy to manage my kindle account on the amazon site, and transfer the changes to the kindle.

It's also nice that they have my 'free app of the day' apps from the amazon app store going all the way back to 2011, so win there.

It's snappy and responsive, and I didn't know it had bluetooth - honestly didn't know much about it before pulling the trigger on purchase. I figured best case would be a halfway decent viewing device for amazon prime media.

Turns out this little tablet is a lot better then I thought it would be. Even if I wasn't going to root it and break out of the amazon cage the presentation of it all and what it was designed to do is really well done.
