[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] odun96:
Hi everyone!

My Problem:

Ive got a WiFi network at home, where the said is the stand art name.

Fritzbox.

I was at a friend of mine where I connected to his network. He has an other ssid but the same router.

And there was a router which had the exactly same said as mine at home.

When I was home my phone couldn't connect because my father configured the device that unknown devices can't connect.

This works over the IP adress the devices get.

So the part that confuses me:

Why did my device got an other IP after connecting to the router of my friend ?

Or is it the fault of the router which had the same ssid?

I would like to change the ssid of our own router but my father refuses:

This is my device and I don't want to change anything.

Funny isn't he?

So what options do I have?

Is there the possibility to stop my mobile from connecting to "known" WiFi networks? (Or as we know networks with the same ssid)

Or was the router of my frirnd which is the same as mine the reason?

What can i do to prevent this problem?

I know changing the ssid of our router is the easiest way but my dad just refuses no matter what I say.

Please help me

Thanks in advance

Have you tried this mate?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] music_man185:
i can't decide between the s4 and the note 2. i've read many comparisons of the two, which list most of the differences in features. however, almost all the comparisons are older, and state that some missing features on the note 2 will show up with future software updates. with 4.3 getting ready to roll out for the note 2, i'm curious what features are still missing. i like a lot of the camera features on the s4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quentin.Sheley:
I personally have the S4 and a friend has the Note 2. There are a good bit of differences between the two phones. What sold me on the Galaxy over the Note was not necessarily functionality but it was the fact that if never be in the situation to utilize the S Pen enough to be worth it and you wouldn't be able to Life Proof it and still have access to the pen. I'd also say to consider the Note 3 if the price isn't out of your range.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crawshayi:
You might get the extra camera features in an update for the Note 2 but what you'll never get is a better camera in general... if a camera is a big deal then get the S4 because having used both the S4 completely destroys the Note 2 in picture quality. I guess the big question is do you think you'll use the S-Pen for anything more than a once in a while gimmick? If you can truthfully answer that you will then I guess you have your answer. Also, having seen both devices side by side I honestly think 1080p looks WAY better than the 720p despite the larger screen... I want the clarity more than the size.

Like Quentin.Sheley already said though, if you have the money then the Note 3 pretty much gets you the best of both worlds without having to compromise...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] music_man185:
i honestly dont think i would use the s pen very often. my thinking is that with typing out text messages and emails, browsing the web and watching videos, i would enjoy the bigger screen on the note (but still unsure of how pocketable it will be, especially after an otterbox). however, my only 2 smartphones have been the droid x and the original razr maxx (current phone). so even the s4 will probably feel huge at first.

the note 3 looks awesome, but it is out of my price range.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crawshayi:
Go to a retail store and play an HD video with the Note 2 and S4 side by side and you'll see what I mean about 1080p being so much sharper... now if after that you decide you still just want more screen real estate well then that's fine, I love the Note 2 just as much as the S4 but remember what I said about the camera and if you are set on using Otterbox that Note 2 is going to be insanely bulky
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] music_man185:
i know that the s4 is newer and has more features and better specs. i guess i'm just trying to decide if i want the bigger screen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crawshayi:
How much are you willing to spend? If you don't mind waiting a few months the Note 3 is sure to drop in price, probably to around $250 on Amazon or WireFly, perhaps more with deals/coupons/etc so if you want that nice big screen you're better off getting the awesome 1080p that the Note 3 has to offer. If however your budget is under $200 or you don't want to wait then the Note 2 is still a great option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaw2176:
IMO s4

I was debating the same thing. But I love my choice with the s4. If I want a device that big I would get a 7" tablet to carry around and use my phones hotspot to browse the web with. The note 2 is still a great phone and is very similar to the s4 but if you want better camera and amazing screen res, and if you want a better performance phone. (With a custom rom ) Then I would go with the s4. If you feel like you're in need of a bigger screen then note 2. But if you decide to go the note route wait it out for the note 3. Will definitely be worth the wait.

Hi

A friend of mine owns a Galaxy S3 and is having the following problem

The phone seems not booting, and a white screen with black lines appear.

We've thought about getting a new screen housing complete, with digitizer, screen, etc. but I'm not sure if this will solve the problem.

How could I do some testing so I can know which is the problem and how could I do a complete wipe to the phone as it is now, if possible?

Thanks

My friend could get into download mode. He tried to flash another roms, but the 1st time he got an error, and the second try he waited more than 20min without any progress...

Is there any way to make a complete wipe from download mode?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
No. That white screen is the sign of the complete eMMC failure a.k.a SDS. Nothing you can do about it but have it repaired by Samsung either by warranty of by paying for the service.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinoukevin:
let's say i bought it from ebay ( no garantie" , my counter is 0 , i can still go to Samsung center and get it repaired for not much money ???

thx for the quick replay ^^ , that's wht i'm gonna try to do , thx again
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Simply that depends upon Samsung's policy to second users and proof of ownership .

As far as i am aware they do not accept second users as a warranty claim . But you are going to have to try first before paying for a repair .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorianbello:
use odin tou repair framwork this is the problem for u display
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirKunon:
It is not display problem but symptom of corrupted internal nand, eMMc as dackota said. Bootloader is probably still available but Partitions Information Table is damaged and switched to read only mode. You will not be able to flash anything.

You need to replace your motherboard or at least reflow new eMMc chip. Sorry it is so called hard brick or sudden death.

You can check display by entering download mode. It is displayed correctly. Fuzzy screen while booting shows because bootloader can't read data to init system.

You can try to flash only param.bin, same .pit file or anything else via Odin or Heimdall but it will end at Setup Connection and write fail errors. Sorry bro. 90 percent of nand flash chips in s3 are physically faulty. Samsung replaces those motherboard under warranty, but if it's void or outdated you need to pay for repair.

In some countries it is too expensive and worthless. In Poland, where I live, it is cost of 50-70 bucks. New i9300 or i9305 you can have for circa about 200$.

You can check eBay or similar to your country person-to-person transaction platform to search s3 with broken screen only but fully operational motherboard and replace it yourself. It is very easy. Sometimes it is cheaper than repair the old one.

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm now using HTC Wizard (named Qtek 9100 in France) running WM5.

My device came with a built-in version of Voice-Speed Dial in Rom.

This soft works well but you can't enjoy it when you know the powerfull combination Micorsoft's Voice Command + Project_VCABT.

So, I have TWO problems :

- Is it possible to delete Voice-Speed Dial (not just replace the link for the button) ?

- How could Project-VCABT work on that new device knowing that it seems it doesn't recognize "headset" profiles (so, if you delete the "hands-free" reg profile, you simply have no profile at all for your device) ?

Please, please, please, help me because I feel stupid to have got that new device without asking before if it would work as well as my old HTC Magician (Qtek S100 in France).

Thank you for your help.

So, I am like many of the other noobs in here who tried to install TWRP through goomanager. I realize that this is not possible, and am paying for my actions. I have read on many threads like this one that by flashing the stock ME7 recovery onto the phone through odin I can get my phone up and running again. Only issue is that I cannot manage to find the stock recovery for ME7 to save my own life (or the life of my phone coincidentally). Could anyone help me by posting a link to the download? I certainly don't mind being marked an idiot if it helps me out or other people who do the same exact thing.

[Java for Android App Development] Ghand0ur:
Hello,

If you do not know me (no wonder), I am this guy in the HOX+ Thread that is trying to keep it alive, which we all know in time, ROMs will stop spreading..MODS..etc.

So, As a stage to achieve my dream of being a popular developer and programmer, I am just starting to learn Java, and taking it seriously. My plan isn't really important , whats important is that I need to know some information about Android system, and if it has already been mentioned, please redirect me to the thread explaining so.

So Here we go:

[1] I am well aware that Java used to be a CPU beast in its early development especially with SWING, being all laggy , but that is rather fixed now. Programmatically speaking , Can a program "CRASH", "DAMAGE" or "FRY" your phone? Let's say a program has an infinite loop, can such a program crash the phone? Or is there a protocol that ANDROID OS follows to stop such an application.

[2] If there is such a protocol, how does it handle over pressure. Does it crash the application? Or are there times that the application just can't be stopped with result in having to hard reboot your phone?

[3] Can a program control CPU consumption "WITHOUT" root access? And if a root access is required, is "S-OFF" required for the bootloader? If the application requires Root Access, what does it really do to your phone? Is there a system file controlling the CPU usage , that the application manually changes as the user demands?

[4] If Java securely prevents hardware failings..etc. Is there another language that can cause that? C++? C?

Basically those are the 4 main questions on my mind, which I just want to know the answers to , just to expand my knowledge when I start to dive in android development.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Ghandour

MODS: please know that the title of this category is called "Coding Discussion ,Q&A, and education resources, and I can't find any Q&A section, so since I am studying Java, so I thought its the best section. Please do excuse me if its the incorrect section.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Root apps could destroy your phone. Normal apps can just delete all files, but the OS keeps them from causing any damage to the hardware.

You can always stop apps in the settings.

You need root access for that. All other apps may not do that so that they are unable to damage the phone (see [1]).

All root apps call some busybox or system binaries using the built-in Linux shell. (The roottools library makes this very easy. Tutorial-Link)

It's the OS, not Java. All apps run in a sandbox. So using C/C++ doesn't change anything.

PS: There is no special Q&A section. This is the right one. ;)
[Java for Android App Development] Ghand0ur:
Perfect Answer and explanation. Thanks a lot mate, I had to know these answers as I want to know that my phone will be secured once i pass the "emulator" stage.

I still can't thank you enough :)

I am considering selling my XDA IIs for this device, I can probably get a good $700 for it on eBay with all my accessories, and I would just buy XDA EXEC from o2, total 368 pounds after 1 year, equal to $650USD. How good is the Exec though. I hear people making so many complaints already!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
The way I see it, there are three options:

1. Keep the XDA IIs

2. Get a regular (size) 'phone and either a Dell X50v or an HP Hx4700 or something

3. HTC Universal

1. is cheapest

2. Most powerful but more hassle carrying two devices

The need for VGA and being unable to go back to two devices after years of XDA usage meant that the MDA Pro was close to perfect for me.

It IS about twice as thick as an XDA, but that's not really a problem for me. The keyboard means that I no longer use handwriting recognition, and that suprises me. Some things could be better (web browser, terminal services client) but it's still all a damned site better than the alternatives.

HTH

Yeah but with a regular phone you cannot run GPRS programs on it, and I use a PDA w/ GPRS for the following -

IRC/AIM/Internet Explorer, and more applications. If I had a regular phone and a PDA, the PDA would be most likely pointless ;).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cbrow51:
My 2 cents.... Take a look at the K-Jam (wizard) If you can live with the smaller screen size, the Wizard does all the things right out of the box that the XDA2s promised to but didn't.

I have used the Wizard for about 3weeks an no soft resets yet! Has been really stable for me. Bluetooth is near perfect. No problems with out of memory or launching wi fi. It has EDGE support. The slide out keyboard is much better to use than the XDA2s. It's a much smaller form factor too Over the past 2.5 years I have had the xda xda2 and xda2s. IMHO the Wizard is the first of all of these to do what was promised without softresets reflashing ROMs, and cooking extended ROMS. With Blackberry software (hopefully soon) it will be a pretty near perfect device for me. And the price is a good deal less than the jasjar.

If you can live with the smaller form factor, take a serious look at...

Hope this doesn't make your decision more complicated ;-)

Best of luck whatever you decide!

Chris
