Hey, All!

Running stock, unrooted 4.1.2. Recently changed a bunch of settings and began receiving the error "Unfortunately, SNS has stopped working." I disable Facebook news ticker on the lock screen (Lock Screen -> Information Ticker -> Facebook), and don't seem to have that issue anymore.

Any idea why Facebook may be having an issue with SNS and displaying a feed on the lock screen? I have a handful of services disabled, so if there's a dependency service I should check on, please let me know! Also, feel free to AMA about it.

Thanks!

hi guys,

i find the power button on my s4 to be a little squishy. the volume button and home button both have a much better feel. the click when pressed.

The power button on the other hand doesnt stick out as much. it has a tectile feel but just a bit squishy. lol
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Nope there should be a definite click to the power button. Mine is also squishy, I had 5 S4 previously and they were all fine.

I decided to keep the one with a dodgy power button as the screen is ok and its PVS binning 5.

But no, it's not normal, it's defective. If it really bothers you then send it back :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Piippes:
Yeah mine is acting wierd aswell, but you get used to it after a few weeks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vel83:
i dont like te power button on S4 it's pushed in heaps unlike the S2.

Prefer the S2 power button
[General Questions and Answers] evocop:
I am due for an upgrade from my RAZR M. Alot of good phones have came out in the recent past.. When I bought the RAZR M I did not do my homework about the antenna strength on the RAZR M. Motorola supposedly is known for some of the strongest antennas. I know this wasn't a problem with my service provider because others with same service did not have any issues with 4G dropping off with their phone.

Does anyone have insight or experience in this area of phone hardware and have an educated opinion on which newest phone has the strongest antennas?

I am not partial to any specific brand and am even open to getting an iPhone (I know it's blasphemy on XDA) if the antenna is consistent. Wife has iPhone and will be standing next to me with 4G and my phone will show 3g.
[General Questions and Answers] @rbiter:
Motorola and Nokia in general. Samsung usually doesn't have the greatest reception but I do have to say the galaxy note 2 is the exception. WiFi, Bluetooth and cellular antennas are beastly in this particular phone.
[General Questions and Answers] gasolara2002:
Motorola definitely.
[General Questions and Answers] end701d:
most of ZTE and the oldest Samsung phones have antenna connector and there is a lot of great small antenna or you can create one.
[General Questions and Answers] astroxchan:
I think it all depends on the band that your phone can receive from the carrier.

You may want to try wcdma only. I heard it work for some people. It's a option on the phone network settings.

Always get a phone from your carrier to get the best band. 4g is not 4glte. Although sometimes they advertise 4g, your only getting hspa.

That is odd. You should be able to pull the TV and camera apps from a stock rom and push them to /system. Just be sure to set permissions correctly.

Download a stock rom, unzip and look in /system/app for the TV and camera apks. Use a root explorer to move to /system/app on your phone and set permissions to rw-r-r. You might need to reboot before they show up in your app drawer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yekasangredevago:
The other day looking for Dragon Ball games, I found this fun mugen:

PS: the screenshots are an old version of the game (2.4.5) the new version (2.8.0) is much better cast and better animations.

1) The game has a story mode (With all the sagas, minus the GT)

2) has a VS mode (which can be played up to 6 characters at once, (1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, 3 vs 3, 1 vs 2, 2 vs 3 ... etc)

3) It also includes a way to play online, also up to 6 players.

4) the game is very easy to edit, and you can add characters, editing skills, transformations and many more things (editing files and folders within the game in windows)

Here I leave a page where you create characters:

http://dbxpersonagens.blogspot.com.br/

in short, it's fun.

but I said, no point playing it on my pc, with games like (Battlefield 3, NFS Most Wanted, or even taking the Drago Ball Z PS2 emulator) then I thought, what if someone portara to android (as the game weighs no more than 60 mb)

so I was wondering if any of you know any developer that can make a port. for android of this simple and fun game ..

and so we can play it on our device.. :P

(below I leave a link to download it those who want to try, which is edited by me, I've added some characters., and am currently finishing editing, to leave well rounded., and adding some unknown characters. :P )

Link To Game Dragon Ball Budokai X (For Windows): http://www.mediafire.com/?8l0fowl8b24qlds

PS:is a mugen game, therefore it is absolutely free, so it is not Warez

Hope you interested in the idea ..

Greetings friends .
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mistabeo:
has anyone experienced this before? my phone would not charge, so i figured it was something faulty with the USB port. tried using different cables and chargers, and only my nook charger worked.. so i decided to send the phone into samsung for repair. after almost 3 weeks later i get the phone back.

no water damage, but i did buy the phone second hand.

on the invoice it said:

description: your phone is beyond repair.

fail description: gross electromech damage-abused

i contacted samsung and they said "I would like to inform you that the charger pad that gets connected to the USB cable of the charger has been lifted."

they told me it would cost more than the phone is worth to repair the i/f connector?

what sucks is that now the phone is unusable. if i had not sent it in to samsung, and continued using my nook cable.. my phone wouldn't be caput.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
While I've never had this problem, why didn't you just buy another nook charger instead if that's what worked? I hate the Samsung charger, the one from my old Pantech Crossover is much more robust and sturdy then the Samsung POS.

What I'm curious about is why they removed anything if they sent you the phone back, that doesn't make sense.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mistabeo:
because i figured this much: i had 3 months left on the warranty, and if the phone should continue to devolve into the point where it's no longer charging under any circumstance.. i might be out of the warranty period by then.

they said they opened the phone and found that some board (maybe the i/f, whatever that means) was lifted.. which may be the case, since i bought the phone secondhand. the guy i bought it from didn't seem like the type to open the phone, but who knows.

just spoke with them on phone: they said the i/f board was removed. does anyone know if this is user replaceable?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 4-2ndtwin:
U could contact mobiletechvideos.com and see if they can repair it for ya. They r well known here and have a great reputation. :thumbup:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mistabeo:
so i took it to a local store for repair, which will cost me $55. well worth it.

as it turns out, the guy who is repairing my phone asked me if i opened the phone before - because it seems like the USB port was removed.

so samsung's not at fault here, and they did the right thing in voiding my warranty. the true **** here is the guy who sold me the phone, telling me he had no problems and knowing that the phone was about to go caput.

i guess this should be used as a reminder that if you buy the phone 2nd hand, especially through craigslist, you should be aware of things like this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wireratt:
Happy you got it back together! Congrats!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mistabeo:
well this kinda sucks.. was semi-working before i sent it in to samsung. got it back and wouldn't charge at all. then i got it fixed for $55 and now it's starting to act up again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bkeaver:
I'd send it out to Josh at mobiletechvideo he is really good and I bet he could fix it right the first time.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mistabeo:
i don't think the guy who fixed my phone did anything wrong, the phone is probably fubar like that.

i bought myself a qi charger ($25 for pad + charger). i guess it'll have to hold for the next 18 months.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hassles:
more than likely, the phone was bought originally as a refurbished phone. while they do have a warranty, the refurb company usually opens the phone up and attached their sticker or whatever so that when it is brought in for warranty repairs or anything, they can see that it is a refurb phone and deny it.
[General Questions and Answers] thepianoman77:
when does the next version of TWRP come out... I've been reading that most people are having trouble with TWRP 2.6... =/ Personal experience here too... I just want to know if anyone knows of the next release date...

Does this post belong here? I'm not sure.. since it is a question though.
[HTC One S] adnana1024:
So I flashed a new recovery, TWRP 2.6.0. When I try flashing a new ROM now, I'm getting the following error "Could not create file for updater extract in /tmp/updater." And for some reason, the ROM I had installed previously, TrickDroid 10, is no longer there, so there is no longer a bootable OS on my phone. I tried reinstalling the recovery I had before, TWRP 2.3.3, but I can't get my phone to connect to adb or fastboot. I installed the drivers, but neither command is recognizing my phone, even when in the bootloader.

I would really appreciate some help as I am completely stuck right now. No OS, not able to flash any ROM.

EDIT: I am not using S-OFF, and my hboot is 1.09.0000. I understand I have an outdated hboot, and newer ROMS such as the latest CM nightlies won't flash, but not even older roms, like CM 10.0 are flashing.

Also, to clarify my fastboot issues, Whenever I am in fastboot mode in recovery, it will only change to "FASTBOOT USB" if I scroll up or down - this happens regardless of if it is plugged in to the USB port or not. This used to work on my old comp, so I don't know why it isn't right now.
[HTC One S] wolfbear911:
i think im having the same problem, can you access your sd card through your pc ?
[HTC One S] liesnomore:
If the "Fastboot USB" come red and you do not have plug in, then the bootloader could be mess up or you charge port "stuck". Does you phone charge, when plug in?. I would try to run RUU and see what happen.
[HTC One S] Nosreves91:
Best bet would probably be to factory reset the whole phone. I had this happen once and I used a recovery I found on here, that puts it back to the stock recovery and let's you reset. From there you can do everything again

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] :
I popped into a local shop last night to compare the camera of the recently released PDA2 out here with my IIi. To my astonishment the camera on the PDA2 was at least 75% better. There was NO grain, image was a lot sharper, MUCH brighter and overall the picture looked smoooooove. I altered the colour settings on my device to match those on the PDA2 but unfortunately the image was still crap.

Now that i'm writing this i'm thinking I should have taken a picture with the PDA2 whilst in the shop and bluetoothed it to my device so you guys could get an idea as to what i'm going on about.

Whilst I Mate took ages to release the PDA2 it seems as though it was worth the wait.

I'm so pissed at O2!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] popalzai:
My friend you are right that camera of PDA2 is much better its night vision is better tooo..its a very good device but it has a main flaw...

Its battery time when using the pda and phone is between 6 to 8 hours and while at night stand by time is 10 hours which is pathetic...i emailed imate they said give a hard reset but nothing happend..

are you having the same problem with XDAIIi???

Thanks

bye
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] omniwolf:
i have a pda2 and haven't noticed anything super about the camera.. but it would be interesting to compare to an xda IIi.

i agree about the battery life, but not that bad. if i turn it on to flight mode (so the phone is off) overnite, it has lost about 3% battery life by the morning
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] :
In regards to battery life I think there is a thread discussing this already. I would say i'm quite a heavy user of my IIi, make loads of calls throughout the day, GPRS is constantly on, use Messenger on and off throughout the day, when driving I connect it to my car stereo and use it as an MP3 player for about 80/90 mins during the day, plus some other stuff. Oh yeah bluetooth is constantly on too. My day starts at about 7:00 am and the battery is at 100% by about 11-12 at night it is down to about 45-55%

In the morning its down by about 5-8%
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] stevepage:
XDA2i Camera

Have you tried adjusting the sharpness of the 2i camera - the grain is due to an oversealous unsharp filter. It is possible to hack the registery to get the default setting for sharpness reduced from '5' to something more reasonable - like 0....
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] absolute:
how to hack the registry to improve the camera? need the hint from the guru. also, any other way to improve the picture taken from xda IIi? tks

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OwenMeany:
I need to update Adobe Air in order to use an app. Since it is preloaded on the Nook HD+ it will not install the latest version )giving a message that this app already exists). I have searched for answers on the internet and sought help from B&N phone, online and in store. In a December 2012 posthttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2034878&page=2 on this forum someone suggested removing the app using Titanium backup and then reinstalling. I was unsure if it was appropriate to bump a thread that old, but I want to be sure I will not void my warranty or cause any future problems by doing this. I am definitely a noob so problem solving future difficulties would not be as easy for me as others on this site.

I have also considered using a sd card boot to see if I could update Adobe Air then. I put CM on 2 touchpads and an sd card boot on a Nook tablet, but I am confused by the many options for the HD+. There are a few sd card options, hybrid, etc. I assume the sd card options would leave my Nook HD+ unchanged when removing the card, but some of the comments make me unsure (changing partitions, writing to internal, etc).

Can someone please suggest the safest way to update Adobe Air that will in no way effect the stock Nook or my warranty.

Thank You
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You do not say what you are running. If you are running stock, you do not want to remove anything with TB. It will reset the device.

And yes, generally running from SD leaves your stock intact.

I don't know the best way to update adobe air. You probably can't if running stock.

Thank you for your response. I assumed since the person in the original thread couldn't update Adobe Air that meant they were running stock also. I appreciate you stopping me from erasing something I shouldn't.

These dang apps with the advertising in them are pissing me off. Everytime I turn on my tablet there is one in my notification bar. Anyone know of an app to block them? I just usually delete the app out of frustration but there are some I'd like to keep.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GGWC808:
Then why don't you pay for them to get rid of the ads?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Try using something like adblock, it helped for me

Not all people can afford to pay for all pro versions of apps when the free one are just fine
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sprintuser1977:
Correct. And some you need more than 15min to check em out.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kable:
I find i best to be more particular of what I install and do not support any app that uses notifications to advertise.

An ad blocker will not help with these either. I simply read comments on any free app and Always look at permissions before installing.

If one still slips by, I uninstall intermediately.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GGWC808:
All I'm saying is, if it's a good app, why not support the developer? It's not like they charge you an arm and a leg for their app and you can install it on any device that is registered to you afterwards. Most apps only cost a few bucks anyways.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ExploreMN:
It sounds like what you are describing is a VERY annoying ad service called Air Push (puts ads in your notification bar). You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector to figure out which app it is and uninstall it.

If you are talking about in-app ads, then you need something like adblock, but keep in mind, ads are how devs get paid for their "free" apps...so unless you want to help support them all going pay, you might want to reconsider.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pbelcomp:
All you need to do is "long press" the notification and select "app info" and it will take you right to the app to uninstall it.
