[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tr0k:
Hello,

Actually, my tablet's working on CyanogenMod 10.2 unofficial and is based on its kernel. Today, I noted a bad pixel line on my Nexus 7 3G. It appears during using system and in recovery mode. What interesting, when I launched special app from Google Store to fix bad pixels it disappear for a few minutes and everything looks fine but then it return. Is it a problem with software or maybe with device? I'm waiting for your suggestions and helpful advice.

Thank you in advance for any replys.

I used to get it for a tiny fracture of a second when going in recovery, how long does your last?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tr0k:
I have no idea why it sometimes appear and than disappear when I for example use the program to fix this kind of issues or use a power button for a while to go to menu. Today I used my tablet all day and it works correctly until now. It is funny but i can't see this pixel's line on one colour screen.

Anyone spotted any aluminum bumpers yet?

I would prefer a slim bumper that screws on, I have seen the draco but it seems very fat with strange cuts in it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
I would like to see that, what do you mean strange cuts? And doesn't the metal case affect the antennas?

Here is the Draco, it's very expensive and is wierdly shaped,

Here is just a generic aluminum n2 bumper from Hong Kong, nice and clean, not enlarging the already ginormous note 3 foot print.

See what I mean?

Something like this with a spigen nano rounded glass screen protector should be great combo!

Not to be mean but $100 for that? Are you kidding me? I wouldn't spend $1 on it. It is hideous

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but this seems to have potential. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCIZMAU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5

The outer frame is probably plastic, but this was the first thing that came to mind looking at your question.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jcacuracl:
Hideous? no way, there case is really nice. The issue with Draco cases is that you will lose reception.

I owned Draco and 2 different ElementCase aluminum case for the iPhone 5. I like the sleek look of Draco but since I do lose reception I pretty much threw away 100 bucks. The ElementCase Ronin for the iPhone is what I use everyday. It is an awesome case but it is a costly.

I would definitely buy an aluminum case if it’s available for the N3. Currently I purchased Spigen NeoHybrid for a temp case for the N3. Hopefully there is a nicer/higher-end case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
hideous yes and you lose reception. i wouldnt put on my phone if it was free.

SPIGEN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Case Protective Slim Fit Dual Protection Cover for Galaxy Note III

this have a combo to aluminum and plastic protection.

the note 3 is already beyond size, and adding draco weird edges would even make it bigger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] deathshead:
Agreed, the Draco is heinous!

But this on here for the note 2 looks really good to me, Nice and thin, screws on.

and only like $7 bucks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
looks like the neo to me lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
Yeap that's what I'm waiting for is one of those cheap aluminum bumpers like the one pictured above.

I Dont want drop protection as much as I want something to just keep that chrome plastic on the sides from chipping up like every Samsung device eventually does if it doesn't have a case.

Hopefully I can get a replacement back cover that matches the color of bumper that I get
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jcacuracl:
Not sure where you got those pictures, but those are not case made by Draco. Those are cheap cases made in China.

Compare the difference between both cases.

If you had a good screen protectors and one of this aluminum bumpers, I'd imagine you would be pretty protected against comnon drops wouldn't you?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] deathshead:
Thats the point everyone has been making the whole entire thread,

the Draco looks terrible with those odd bulges and increases the footprint of an already huge device, while the

$6.00 cheap chinese bumper looks much nicer to me anyways..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
The Draco bumper case was odd for the HTC One just odd and didn't look right so I passed on it. I would like to see what they do for the GN3 if they offer onel. As noted they do offer one for the GN2 http://www.dracodesigninc.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1881 but I'm not sold on potential antenna loss.

Imagine how much wider a Note would be with one of those though. Just talked myself out of owning one.

I still really like genuine leather flip cases or sleeves.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
Draco Design will not be making one for the GN3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
Good. The draco bumpers are hideous. The cheap eBay bumpers are much better looking

HI GUYS​

I am On Windows Phone 7.8 Now And I Really Like It :)

So Guys Anyone Has Any Idea When It Would Be Available For Downloading ?!

Hey guys i am trying to help a friend with his htc one sv. He recently updated the phone and now when it boots he gets to the lockscreen he can not do anything from here it shows the background, but no lock ring. His power buttons and volume keys do not work at this screen. We have factory reset the phone and it boots up the same. I am proficient with adb and am okay using this to restore his phone. He just wants a working phone so i am going to keep it stock so adb or if another method is available since i can access fastboot. He also was stock before this so no custom recovery. Thanks.

Edit: Its a boost mobile htc one sv

Update: Mods i'm sorry could this be moved to htc one sv in the legacy devices. Thank you.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pksenthil:
I have been watching this forum for a while to decide upon buying the device.

I am more into data centric rather than phone centric and so my bet is on buying jasjar.

In couple of weeks the price came down to 950$ in expansys usa.

So ready to buy..

But i check this site http://www.expansys-usa.com/forumthread.asp?code=119353&thread=42

and now i am backing off and in dilemma in buying.

Share your thoughts please..

Also wondering the same memory issue should be there for K-jam also right ?

But why no one is discussing this critical issue over here as everyone are discussing only on cosmetic front...

Please pass on your feedback to the new buyers to decide

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pksenthil:
Link Updated. Thank you.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rilot:
Having read that thread I can say that I don't agree with them.

They are correct that you can rapidly run out of memory but if you actually close applications when not using them, there is no problem. As far as the storage space goes, I have a 1GB SD card and install most apps and games on to it. Again, a non issue for me.

TBH it just sounds like a bunch of people thinking that the JASJAR would be the second coming of our lord Jesus Christ. When they open the box and find it's just a PDA with the usual PDA shotcomings they get upset.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sl9:
I also disagree with most of the posters there (very strongly).

Had my MDA PRO for nearly a week - the 512MB MINI-SD card that comes free with it totally and utterly voids the storage space "issue" that they are whining about, and the application memory "issue" has been present for all Pocket PC's that ever existed. Easily solved by a multitude of freeware applications which allow you to close running apps easily.

You try keeping your home desktop PC on 24/7 without ever closing any applications you use on it, I give it 2-3 days before it grinds almost to a halt (unless you have more than 2GB of RAM).

Morale? Much ado about absolutely nothing. :lol:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] seal:
If it was like the second coming of Jesus it would have 250Gb hard drive, we pay the same amount as a current laptop and still the memory is hasn't changed much from the PDA's of 3years ago, I can't understand this when memory has become incrediably cheaper over that period. HTC are treating us like the brown stuff that is a waste product of our bodies, someone needs to give them a wake up shower with there own waste product.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabil2000:
storage

As I said in other posts, and on club i-mate I even wrote to HTC, and they replied saying that they take what I say seriously, and this is:

Dear Maggie,

Thank you for responding.

I regret being an impulsive buyer, because I might not have bought the Jasjar/Universal.

That being said, I think you oem HTC let us badly down by thinking for us instead of responding to market demands.

Nowadays people want more storage, more memory, more functionality at a reasonable price, u can see my wish list in the usb hosting thread in club-imate support, but at the minimum HTC should have put in 128 MB memory and 256 MB rom, to think that devices like the palm offer 4 GB storage means its not a fantasy.

Also robbing customers of the option for usb hosting is not nice (as said so nicely by a customer in my usb hosting thread - club-imate support), u dont decide what clients want, if its do-able still include it and give them the option not to use it if they dont want to.

I am not talking out of thin air, I used to be involved with consultancies that advise for industry.

I hope the next pda from HTC past the Jasjar/Universal will have learned from clients feeback.

Cheers

Nabil H

My wish list:

1. Extra rom storage like 4GB (palm now does it!)

2. A backup system like the one in Blue Angel

3. full USB hosting functionality, so we can use a usb mouse or external usb keyboard or usb mem sticks

4. vga out support so we can project on wide screen

5. firewire support

6. More memory...

- After all if this is to be a mini laptop, let us have the full monty then, instead of baby face gizmos

Their (HTC) answer:

Hi, Nabil,

Thanks for your kindly feedback for HTC products and we will take it seriously.

Regards,

Maggie Cheng

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaelin:
I've been meaning to get around to testing out the new 4.3 based roms available, but I was unsure of if OpenGL ES 3.0 support has any benefit whatsoever. It's my understanding that the Tegra 3, and even the 4 are both OpenGL ES 2.0 compliant, but that's not to say that it still couldn't benefit from the OpenGL ES api, it's just not certified compliant.

So has anyone noticed improved compatability, or performance from OpenGL ES 3.0 being a feature of 4.3? Am I better off staying on a 4.2.x rom with extreme overclocking?

I tend to run a lot of emulators, and I'm aware that new ones like Dolphin actually require OpenGL ES 3.0 support, so as a final question, does OpenGL ES 3.0 enable our tablets to run 3.0 specific apps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danielhep:
I have an I747 on T-Mobile.

I recently installed SlimBean 4.3 on it, and it started up and worked fine. But when I went to restart it, it hung on the "SlimBean" screen. Never got to the bootanimation.

I read online that there's issues when coming from another 4.3 rom, and I had previously been running CyanogenMod 10.2, although it was a nightly and it crashed, corrupting my data. I decided not to try that again.

So after that experience with SlimBean, I tried to flash BeanStalk from the T-Mobile GS3 forum. This is also a 4.3 rom, and it ran fine on my I747, except when I went to reboot. It too hung on the logo.

And yes, I have wiped internal storage, and I'm running the latest version of TWRP. I even tried to flash Samsung's stock firmware with Odin, and it worked, but it wouldn't boot (or maybe I'm overestimating how quickly TouchWiz can boot). It overrode my recovery, like I was expecting, so I flashed TWRP with Odin and then proceeded to flash SlimBean 4.3 again. Same problem.

Does anyone have a solution to this? It's been driving me crazy. I will try some other 4.3 roms and see if they're all doing this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] captican:
p

I had something that sounds similar when I was trying to update from task's 4.2.2 to 4.3. Kept stopping at the kernel screen ( after the usual wiping of caches and system). Finally, someone recommended that, in addition to wiping data, that I format data as well. This basically wipes everything (i was using twrp 2.3.3.1). After doing this, I reinstalled the ROM and gapps and it works now.

Not sure this is what you experienced but it sounded similar. Before doing anything else, be sure that you have a back up and that you have removed any external sd card, should you have to go back. Good luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] danielhep:
Yeah, I did that. I wiped everything I could and formatted data. Maybe I should try installing a different kernel?

With your issue, was it stopping on the first boot or did you get it running once then it stopped?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Deathsting_50cal:
I had the same problem since 4.3 came out. It has to do with partition tables... What i've done to correct the problem:

- Odin back to stock

- Format entire phone. (Complete wipe) + Dalvik and cache

- Odin stock with root

- Replaced TWRP recovery for CWM

- Flashed 4.3 ROM and VOILA

- I have tried every 4.3 rom ever since with no problems

Don't (Complete wipe) with Twrp recovery, it seems to mess up the partitions.

Hope this works for you

Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] captican:
It loaded the first time and then rebooted, freezing on the kernel screen. I could get into recovery, and restore a previous ROM but it would hang up on 4.3. I described the steps I had taken when someone suggested reformatting data. I tried again and it is working now.

The method described in the other post may also solve your problem. I say that because I cannot update twrp to 2.6.1, at least via goo manager. I have not tried using Odin to update (yet).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Apocalypse487:
I have this same as problem. It's annoying. I reflashed the rom 15 times yesterday. I'm gonna try and see if Deathstrings idea works.

This happened to me after I flashed back but formatting data got it to work (but I have had more problems with apps not installing properly but I learned how to deal with that...still cannot update TWRP via goo manager; waiting on trying it with Odin).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will_S:
Apologies for this being my first post, but I need some of your opinions/advice...

I fix phones for friends and friends of friends, and changed the glass on a Galaxy S3. It worked fine, turned on and that was that. Gave it back to the owner.

Later that day I get a call saying it won't turn on, and cycles the network logo and Samsung logo. Sure enough it does.

When in recovery mode I get this error:

'E:failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)'

It won't wipe data/factory reset giving the same error as a reason.

1). Is this any way related to the glass change?! Or is it a software only problem?

2). Would any one be so kind as to point me in the direction of a fix?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will_S:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will_S:
Ok, thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
I wouldn't have thought replacing the glass would cause the boot loop, if it booted normally afterward. Did the phone get a firmware update of any kind afterward?

It would be worth flashing an EMG4 stock rom via a pc to see if that enables the efs folder to be read again, factory reset in recovery first.

If you have a backup of the efs folder then you could format the partition and restore the backup -don't do this unless you have a valid backup.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Will_S:
I wouldn't have thought the glass would have caused a boot loop. That's all I've done to it - change the glass and turn it on to test. Gave it back working. Nothing has been done by me to the software.

I'll try what you suggest, thanks. I doubt there is an efs backup, I don't have one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
Whether you'll use it bare, or inside some type of a case.

On one hand, the Note 3 is a beautiful device. Shielding it with a GEL/TPU case will destroy its looks completely. Moreover, using a case will also make the dimensions of the device much bigger, undermining Samsung's heroic attempts to decrease its dimensions for a better grip.

On the other hand, a device as heavy and as delicate as the Note 3 will not survive a fall without a noticeable scar. And it *will* eventually fall.

So what do you prefer ? a scarred device (probably even with broken front glass), or a shielded device with horrible looks and cumbersome grip ?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noam23:
That's a really nice looking case, but I think you are adding a lot of bulk to the width of the device (because its built from two layers), I think at least 7-10 mm to the total width, which is crazy. This will make the device much harder to operate one handed. Samsung went through so much effort to make the device mostly screen, and this case undermine this effort, badly.
