[Galaxy S III Accessories] Div033:
Alright I'll try to explain the differences in touchscreens:

1. Resistive touchscreens. These rely solely on pressure, thus anything can work on them... Even cheap plastic like on the Nintendo DS systems. The downfall of these types of screens are that they're not ideal to use with your fingers since light touches are usually not recognized, so a stylus is necessary.

2. Capacitive touchscreens. These rely on completing an electrical circuit between the digitizer and the object touching them. Turns out our fingers are perfect for this, but small plastic styli like the DS stylus cannot complete the circuit and are unusable on these touchscreens. Special capacitive styluses (these are the ones that will work on your i9300) use material that can complete the circuit, like rubber/soft plastic or foam. The downside to this screen technology is that you can't use precise styli. The jot stylus mentioned earlier is a innovative approach to fix this but it's rather restrictive on how you can place the stylus to the screen... Watch videos and you'll see what I mean.

3. Active pen digitizers were specifically made for digital artists to begin with to offer a high level of precision when using a stylus on a tablet. They were really only used on PCs and Macs. However recently Samsung did something brilliant and combined an active pen digitizer by wacom (the best in the business) and a capacitive touchscreen to get the best of both worlds. I'm referring to the Note devices and the S Pen.

In short, you want a capacitive stylus. The C-pen is a capacitive stylus that's smaller than all others but only functions on the galaxy s3 or s4. The Jot stylus is also a capacitive stylus that has high precision but the point is a circular transparent disc... So its kinda odd at first.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] verynoob:
Thank you so much , now I understand :D!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b1tux:
i bought in winter cheap stylus from ebay. Material from which it made is very cheap, but stylus worked fine in winter with gloves and now too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Fullmetalalchemist:
You could just make one yourself
[Galaxy S III Accessories] verynoob:
How?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] earthtk:
+1 Good stylus indeed. But you have to do some modification before use so as to prevent skipping if you are writing. But cautious to have a screen protector as it might scratch the screen when using.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Fullmetalalchemist:
heres what you need:

Pen

cue tip

foil

cut the tip of the que tip and insert it in the pen where the hole is.

use a strip of foil and make it slightly touch the cue tip and wrap it around the pen

when using it make sure that you touchh the foil

[Galaxy S III Accessories] verynoob:
Nice one :D although you always need to get the tip wet . .! maybe there is some other material that doesn't need to get wet and can be used as tip? :confused: but thanks

Hi i will put everything out so it can be answered without going back and forth : I was installing Trickdroid 10.3 and was about 95% done then it crashed I erased the wrong thing and now am stuck on hboot/fastboot screen everything I seleect either shuts down phone and restarts it back in same place or does nothing helpful. Usb can't be seen and recovery will do same flash off the right back to same screen s-on was s-off but is now back to on hboot is 1.44 radio 4a 14.3250.13 phone was rooted and bootloader was unlocked my device is TAMPERD and says UNLOCKED HAHAHA had to say T&U was funny when i got it saying it still is, but says ss-on... I have been looking and readin for a week and now it came down to taken suggestistions and hopefully we can get it fixed cause i dont want to end up with an electric bath toy for the babys!!!:crying::eek:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
Can you see the device in ADB mode?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrzNikki:
No I can't......I also forgot I am running windows 8, when I use the adb device nothing, any adb codes, or serial numbers don't show up. No matter what is done recovery is not working. I have an s4, it too was in the same state, I was able to download ROM to external SD card, rebooted into recovery mode, and re-flash ROM. That is almost fixed...

If I get a female to female USB and mount the USB somehow will it give it the same effect? If so any suggestions? Or any other suggestions to help me get through this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
Yes, that would be my advice. Go to a site like Amazon, and search for a "micro USB OTG cable". They are inexpensive, and will allow you to use a flash drive with the phone in recovery. Then download a rom onto a flash drive, and install from there.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrzNikki:
Thank you for replying!!! How would I get into recovery with no access to the phone? Is there a manual script to get into it? Also I can upload a picture of the only part of the phone I can see if that would help?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
Hold down the power button while holding down the volume down button at the same time until the phone reboots. If it does not, use the same procedure while holding the proximity sensor under a bright light (sounds weird but it works!). Phone will boot into bootloader mode, select recovery, and you will be good to go. I'll take a look if you upload a pic, sure
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayze0:
I had something similar, but managed to get in through ABD (windows 7), but also remembering that I was stuck in a boot loop, i wiped cache , re tried and rom loaded and booted. Have a read up on ABD in windows 8, see if there's anthing your missing or specific modded files needed for windows 8 and ADB running, just my opinion

The notification LED is pretty bad on the S4 compared to even my old galaxy nexus, was wondering if theres any way (via custom ROM / other) to increase the brightness on it?

edit: found /sys/class/leds/led_(r/g/b)/max_brightness controls this, its set to 40 on mine, max is 255. Definite improvement when set to the max, now just need a way to make it persist (and hope this doesnt damage anything :/)

hi there,

i bought the s4 active i9295 about a week ago. want to use the IR blaster with my panasonic tv the samsung watchon app works partially, when the tv is on i can switch channels, volume, turn off, but 'turn on' does not work. on my tv remote i must keep the button pressed long for it tv to turn on, that can't be set in the watchon app. so looked for alternatives, tried pretty much all the free apps anyone else same problem? or any ideas?

this is pretty much same problem i have, so looking for an IR blaster app now that will send the IR signal for several seconds continuously to be able to turn on the tv

http forums.logitech.com/t5/Harmony-Remotes-Programming/Panasonic-TV-Long-Press-for-ON-Short-Press-for-OFF/td-p/38078/page/2
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almec:
Report this to makers of Watch on. It's Peel I think. You can sort of do it also via in-app report.

Try turning TV on by channel-up/down button or by directly pressing channel number. It does work on few TVs with "press On for x seconds" behavior.

Also Smart Remote for S4 by Color Tiger Apps seemed good. It supported many other types of devices (AC, ...) but it's no longer available on Google Play. But it was rather pricey and didn't support all my odd devices so I went with a refund.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spicemint:
solved

have found the solution: https play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=remote.control.samsung

Samsung Galaxy with IR blaster see also http www power7.net you can specify the codes yourself with this app you just need the IR codes in some format for panasonic TVs this hex code list works ftp ftp.panasonic.com/pub/panasonic/Drivers/Monitors/Discrete-remote-control-codesProntoCCFformat.pdf

and using this tool http openremote.org/display/docs/OpenRemote+2.0+How+To+-+Integrating+GlobalCache you can calculate the corresponding IR codes and it works also with long button press

sorry to say that the app looks design wise very basic but function wise it is awesome :)

Ready and working ON-code would be very much appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimw:
Me too!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flash.family:
Solution found

So, like spicemint said, this is detailed version by me:

Download PDF from here:

locosp.dyndns.org/download/Discrete-remote-control-codesProntoCCFformat.pdf

Download iConvert from here:

globalcache.com/downloads

Copy/Paste PowerON/OFF HEX code from PDF to notepad and remove "enters" on end of lines.

Put that in iConvert, and to use that code you need to edit it a little, removing text etc.

I dont feel like going in too much detail but I figured out you need to repeat code 4 times for that to work, so final code that works on my Panasonic TV plasma is like this:

37000,1,1,128,63,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,16,16,48,16,2712,128,63,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,16,16,48,16,2712,128,63,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,16,16,48,16,2712,128,63,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,16,16,16,16,16,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,48,16,16,16,48,16,2712

Usin that code in Android application "Samsng IR - Universal remote"

go to settings, choose "My Remote Control 1(TV)", scrool down a bit where it says "Insert IR code string for Power command" and paste that code I gave you".

Then scrool all the way down, press "Save the IR codes" and when you scrool up and hit "Power on/Off" your TV should power on.

Took me almost 2 hours to figure out how this codes work but at least it working now.

I had problems with my Motorola box, could not change channel (turning it off/on and volume worked fine).

My solution: I got the updated WatchOn from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2669584

It is from the S5 but works significantly better than the one we have. No hacking/code recalculating necessary, just download the .apk, load it to the phone and open/run the file. It may look a little uglier, but at the improved usability I'm not complaining.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seamus orion:
My Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is running CM 10.1.

More and more frequently it would not recognize a charger connected. I would have to reconnect and it would eventually charge. About a week ago, it just would not charge. I tried connecting to a PC, tried the official charger from Samsung, tried a second charger, nothing. During all of my tinkering to fix it, the battery eventually ran out. I figured the battery was dead.

I ordered a replacement battery and installed it myself. The tablet booted up just fine and showed 60% battery. I connected a charger, it started charging. I wake up the next morning and it is not charging and sitting at 68%. So it did charge some. I got it to charge again for a couple of minutes, but now it has been a couple of days and it will not charge and I am now down to 7% battery.

I tried factory reset, that made no difference. I have the Samsung keyboard dock and it works, That tells me that the connector on the tablet is OK right? Does anyone have any ideas here?
