try ETradeSupply.com they have all kind of parts for all kinds of devices or you could always try ebay :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carngeX:
If you're wanting the actual surface mount button, then try DigiKey.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bionik9:
I tried www.etradesupply.com and I think the website is bad... The switch is the part I need. The button that pushes the switch is fine and was just replaced yesterday. It's the actual switch that is attached to the circuit board.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carngeX:
Then try DigiKey.com like I mentioned. It's a electronic component distributor.

You'd be looking for a momentary push-button switch. Possibly surface-mount (I haven't looked at what the S3 has, personally).

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Hello Experts,

It's been ard two months I am struggling to get my gps work on my s4 which was working when I bought the phone and was on stock Samsung OS.

It's started when I rooted my phone. Subsequently installed CM10.1 nightly (I guess 24/7/2013-nighly). Now I am on cm10.1 rc2.

Gps status show 0/0 sats. No satellites in view

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Any one can give a lead on how to possibly fix this issue.?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Am I posting it to correct forum? May be you can direct me correct forum.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsam55:
As you are rooted, something worth trying would be FasterFix from PlayStore. You'll see what it does.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Thanks for response. Yes I am rooted.

Recently I installed latest modem (mh8) as well Which didn't help either.

I tried GPS status, GPSFix, gps test etc. Those didn't help. But never used to keep the gps open for more than 5 minutes.

Will keeping it on longer help?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Also if someone can tell me the permissions on gps.conf file if it matters.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
My GPS error was caused by a software conflict - in my case, Yahoo Weather. It stopped the GPS from getting proper signal or lock, but when I uninstalled the app it returned to normal. The latest version of Yahoo Weather has fixed the issue.

Think about any apps you may have installed at the time of rooting. Rooting itself should not cause this issue.

You could try taking a full backup, reset the device and see if GPS works again with no user apps installed. If it does it sounds like a software conflict, if it does not then it is a firmware/hardware problem.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Yeah read that thread which talks about yahoo weather. I don't have it. Infact I did wipe few times to install new nightly. And checked gas just by installing Google maps, which didn't help.

Could it be a hardware issue? How can we confirm? My gps status show 0/0 sats in view.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinky360:
Can you pleas post The gps cofig ? And then will discuss

GPS

If all else fails, unroot, flash the Original FW via Odin.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Noted. Will try and update, little tied up with some other things.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinky360:
To see if is hardware you need clean install

1. Download odin 3.07 ( you have option NAND ERAS ALL )

2. Download MH8 ( If you are with knox ), / MF8 ( NON KNOX BOOT )

3. Download PIT

4. Odin - check NAND, PIT file, PDA AND START

5. After flash your phone wont boot ( stuck at samsung Logo )

6. Boot in recovery ( volume up )( original recovery )

7. Factory reset + format cache.

8. Will reboot automatically the phone

9. Install GPS TEST. And let it search for maxim 5 min. ( will be cold start )

Come back with result
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Wow, thanks.

Few questions though

1. If I select NAND ERASE All, will erase everything what I see in internal memory?

2. What is knox boot?

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Apologies but I don't know the terminologies.

I will about it but in the mean time, here is what I have installed... (attached)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinky360:
When you are entering in download mode and you have 2 lines there where is writen Knox kernel lock 0x0 and knox warranty void that means that you have secure bootloader ( you can flash only MH group or GG ). If you dont have I recommend to flash MF8 Or BGMA.

And yes NAND eras all ... is deleting all from internall memory
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vishalramnani:
Hello there,

I did as you mentioned above. Unfortunately it didn't help. Is there something bad with my GPS hardware? I remember it was working when I was on stock ROM when I bought the phone.

I saw a post for GS3 which states tightening the screws to fix gps issue. Can we do something similar for GS4?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinky360:
One more thing: install GPS test from Google market. And send me a print with the open app. BUT 1st enable GPS from settings. And bee sure to bee in open place ( outside) when you are opening the app

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
Just thought I would start a forum Dedicated to one location to document any Bugs that are known, and possible solutions. So if you have any known bugs, or if you have known tweaks, please post.

I have only had the JASJAR for 2 days now, and notice the following issues:

1. Significant amounts of my old software that was working on WM2003SE will not run on WM2005 for example:

SPB - The screen short cuts work fine, but the rest doesnt, no tweaks to PIE, no battery status, no "CLOSE" fix. This is a big problem, cause everything you open stays open unless you close it all via running programs.

KSE Fax - didnt work

Resco Explorer - didnt work

MSVC - didnt work, wont uninstall!!

Pocket Dictate - didnt work

Navman SmartST - didnt work, so didnt get to test the GPS port technology.

Flashdash - didnt work, per supplier working on a fix.

PHM Registry editor - didnt work

2. Text messages dont appear to be deleting, they come back on reset

3. Mortgage calculator due to VB Runtime not supported

4. Couldnt activate MS Reader even though its a microsoft product!!

5. No backup software which is a pain when you are installing software to test, and then cant install it, or your not certain its properly uninstalled

6. No VGA output, or cannot locate how to display on alternative screens such as data projectors. I got the back pack with the XDA II, but cannot find an option here.

7. Serious slow downs due to applications not closing

8. Seem to be a problem with the Blue tooth headset activating the voice command when its switched off.

9. calculator is still the basic model, not the advanced version you can get on your PC.

10. Cant find the registry hack to show the date not just the time.

11. Couldnt get avantgo to work.

12. Explorer still takes a very long time to explore the windows directory, and still doesnt allow a properties view on it.

Some of these might be because I simply couldnt be bothered tweaking some of these, or looking at possible fixes.

I can also see some serious memory issues and the need for a good SD card is going to be important. Speaking of which, allows the ability to automatically/select install to SD card, which is a bonus, dont need cabinstall anymore. Even so,

BUT OVERALL, I think its a nice device, only just released, nice and clear screen, great functionality, good WIFI without serious battery drains compared to what I am used to, BT Headset works usually. I am still to get the MMS and GPRS operational, and dont know anybody that can use 3G yet.

Synchronising music with WMP10 is a good feature, and it can be setup to synchronise your videos and pictures I think.

So, what do the rest of you think please list your bug bears, and if you see a fix great, and any suggested tweaks or software that does work on your devices would be great. Hoping for a long and fruitful post of consolidated tweaks and bugs.

resco file explorer on wm5

I upgraded to resco file explorer 2005 (half price if you last purchased 2003 version after 1 yr) . Try that version if the 2003 version does not work.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gm:
some of the stuff mentioned are not really bugs (resco explorer 2k3 works for me,slowdowns because of multiple apps running-> you need a task manager for this)

right now, I'm still waiting if this will ever support USB hosting (but I doubt if it is). I'm quite confuse with how tekguru came up with the conclusion that Universal can act as USB host. i tried inserting an external harddisk using the stock usb cable+female usb A+usb A, nothing happens :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zohaer21:
hey

i beg to differ...

the phm registry works just fine..

ive tweaked the date and time into the top bar thru registry

ive also changed the calendar softkey on the screen to run and display file explorer

resco explorer 2005 works just not the network part of it...

spb pocketplus with battery bar at the top of the screen works aswell
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
WM2005 Tweaks n bugs

Thats interesting, I will try to download updated versions then rather than those kept in my library and try again and will advise.

Does the "close" operation on SPB work ok?

Where did you locate the registry tweak?

I think I was using Resco 2003, a few have noted 2005 works ok.

Cheers

avantgo installation

I have found that u can install Avantgo by doing the following:

1. Go to Avantgo website

2. Register

3. Download old wince version

4. install it on pc with pda connected and activesync active

5. upgrade to pocketpc version

6. do an activesync syncing (after choosing ur free channels)

thats it, u get avantgo on your system, but beware, it takes internal disk space...

Greetings

PS I guess M$ removed Avantgo from Rom because it offers now pocketmsn on universal and Avantgo competes with it, the old IE/Netscape story... :)

Can i ask you poeple with the new EXEC, or branded version, Looking at the pictures the microphone and speaker are on the same side as the LCD screen. If its closed (like a laptop) do you need to open it and spin the LCD round (like a tablet PC) in order to use it as a phone for a voice call

Thanks John
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gm:
you dont need to open the lid. there's a Send/End call button at the side to make the call. problem is you dont have a way of knowing who's calling. that's where jabra bt800 or akon hbh660 BT headsets come in handy
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] applecom:
thanks for the reply GM, that makes sence to use a Bt headset that shows caller ID, But as to answering it with the external buttons, and if the thing is closed wuth the screen inside, cam you hear the caller if you dont have a headset

the skype issue is caused by active sync

active sync turns itself on non-stop, I am constantly having to return to running programs and turn it off. skype needs memory, so it crashes when active sync is running.

Is there a registry tweak to stop the 'auto-on' feature of skype?

as for spb3, it does slow this down and make it buggy. I am losing it.

What bugs me?

Hi folks: my 2 cents into this conversation as I have had my JASJAR now for a couple of weeks.

Here is what seriously bugs me: :x

a) Cannot keep GPRS connection always on: I installed the GB Soft Tweak (for WM2K3) but it does not hold the GPRS on. This is really bad, as I waste a lot of time getting connected/disconnected.

b) Paiiiiinnnnfully slow: After you open a few apps, the JASJAR slows down to speeds that remind me of my old Jornada 540. Horrible, horrible... :(

c) When I rotate the screen, it takes a while to switch from landscape to portrait mode and viceversa: I just tried it now and it took about eight seconds to do it; maybe this has to do with the slowness I just referred to.

Maybe these are tweaks that I need to do, as I have T-Mobile in the US. Is there any advice you can give me? Anyone else having similar problems? I really want to keep my JASJAR but my PDA2k was so much faster and it kept the GPRS always on. :?

Thanks in advance.

Fernando
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] orinoco:
Hi Craigie:

Thanks for your very detailed post. I think you are right in that most of these bugs are fixable and that it is the "price to pay" for us early adopters. Certainly I waited a long time for a device like the JASJAR to come out (I loved the clamshell form factor of the Jornada 720), so I can wait a couple of months before all the bugs and tweaks have been worked out.

Regards,

Fernando

i go to http://www.avantgo.com/download and i dont see it in the list...

looking at http://avantgo.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/avantgo.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=297 it looks like support for WM5 isnt great, but has anyone got it working at all?

Re: avantgo installation

Got it working - yeah. Usable - hmmm - the fonts are just way to big. CHanged one of the settings and it's a little better now - but it's still like large font in PIE - it's not usable yet. Nearly there but not quite. And it's so sl o o o w.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] simon_darley:
back again

I just caught up with my original post now that i have been an owner for quite a while now, and must agree with craig on most of the comments, and to revisit my own comments:

1. Significant amounts of my old software that was working on WM2003SE will not run on WM2005 for example:

SPB -

CORRECTED, USING LATEST WM5 VERSION, ALL GOOD.

KSE Fax - didnt work

GOT A VERSION THAT WORKS, UNINSTALLED IT, NEVER USED THE BUGGER ANYWAY. STAY WITH TECHNOLOGY....

Resco Explorer - didnt work

USED TOTAL COMMANDER, BUT CAN ACCEPT IT DOES WORK. I WAS JUST USING AN ORIGINAL OLDER DODGY VERSION.

MSVC - didnt work, wont uninstall!!

RESET, DIDNT USE IT AGAIN, BUT BELIEVE VARIOUS FORUMS ARE USING IT, APPEARS TO BE AN OCCASSIONAL LID CLOSE ISSUE. I CAN USE THE EXISTING.

Pocket Dictate - didnt work

NEVER USED IT ANYWAY, USING NOTES JUST FINE.

Navman SmartST - didnt work, so didnt get to test the GPS port technology.

USELESS PIECE OF ****, GOT RID OF THE LOT WITH THE XDAII.

Flashdash - didnt work, per supplier working on a fix.

MEMORY HOG ANYWAY.

PHM Registry editor - didnt work

GOT CORRECT VERSION, WORKS PERFECTLY.

2. Text messages dont appear to be deleting, they come back on reset

NOT ANYMORE, MUST BE AN ANOMOLY.

3. Mortgage calculator due to VB Runtime not supported

OH WELL, VB RUNTIME ISNT SUPPORTED AT ALL ON WM5.

4. Couldnt activate MS Reader even though its a microsoft product!!

NEVER READ THE BOOKS ANYWAY, BUT WOULD HAVE LIKED TO IN DUE COURSE, M$ PROBLEM, AS USUAL.

5. No backup software which is a pain when you are installing software to test, and then cant install it, or your not certain its properly uninstalled

M$ PROBLEM, DONT REALLY NEED, BUT WOULD HAVE BEEN HANDY GIVEN THE NUMBER OF HARD RESETS.

6. No VGA output, or cannot locate how to display on alternative screens such as data projectors. I got the back pack with the XDA II, but cannot find an option here.

EVEN THOUGH NOT PROMOTED, WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE. NEVER USED IT ANYWAY, IT WAS JUST A NICE FEATURE.

7. Serious slow downs due to applications not closing

SPB, AND MANAGE THE INSTALLATIONS, CAN TWEAK THE SYSTEM TO GET GOOD SPEED, JUST NEED KNOWLEDGE.

8. Seem to be a problem with the Blue tooth headset activating the voice command when its switched off.

I THINK THIS IS AN ONGOING DEBATE OF VARIOUS PEOPLE TESTING IT. OH WELL, MAYBE THE NEXT RELEASE.

9. calculator is still the basic model, not the advanced version you can get on your PC.

NOT NECESSARY.

10. Cant find the registry hack to show the date not just the time.

FOUND IT, BUT CUT OFF THE LAST DIGIT, NOT IMPORTANT ANYWAY.

11. Couldnt get avantgo to work.

NOT NEEDED ANYWAY.

12. Explorer still takes a very long time to explore the windows directory, and still doesnt allow a properties view on it.

IS A BIT FASTER IF THE REST OF THE APPS AND INSTALLS HAVE BEEN CONTROLLED, TOTAL COMMANDER MUCH FASTER ANYWAY.

SO IN SUMMARY, JUST OVERLY CRITICAL, AND VERY HAPPY WITH THE JASJAR, JUST WISH:

1. MICROSOFT FIXED THE SUPPORT FOR ITS OWN PRODUCTS

2. SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS WOULD CATCH UP WITH 3RD PARTY FUN APPS TO PLAY WITH

:) ;)
[Java for Android App Development] Filip D:
Hi !

I have a question about context menu selector:

When I press long on an element in ListView, appears my context Menu with 2 buttons: Edit, Remove. When I press the Edit or Remove button the button's background is highlighted on some color. I would like to ask if it is possible to highlight button's background with my custom color, in other words I want to create my custom selector for this context menu. Could you help me please ?

In this code I create my Context menu:

public void onCreateContextMenu(ContextMenu menu, View v, ContextMenuInfo menuInfo) {
super.onCreateContextMenu(menu, v, menuInfo);
menu.add(Menu.NONE,ONE_ID+1,Menu.NONE,"Edit");//Edit button
menu.add(Menu.NONE,ONE_ID+2,Menu.NONE,"Remove");//Remove button
}

Thank you for your help.

I have posted this question in stackoverflow couple months ago, but nobody have answered it.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Oh, it's not recommended to use context menus anymore. Use the ActionBar instead.

And due to Google's release of a supportv7 library with the ActionBar there is no excuse to ignore it.

http://android-developers.blogspot.de/2013/08/actionbarcompat-and-io-2013-app-source.html
[Java for Android App Development] Filip D:
Thank you for your reply,

but I am not sure if I can use ActionBar in application with minSDKVersion = 8, because ActionBar is added in API Level 11. Is there any way to use ActionBar in SDK = 8 ?
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Yes, it is possible, either you use the ActionBarSherlock library or probably easier use the ActionBarCompatibility library from Google with the link Nikwen posted.
[Java for Android App Development] Filip D:
Thank you, I will try it.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Have you been successful?
[Java for Android App Development] Filip D:
Yes, I have not used it in the app, but I have try it with API 8 and worked, thank you for your help :)
