If I get the S3 flashed then switch phone numbers on my account, will I need to call *228 for OTA programming? If so, will it need a reflash to continue to work with PP?

I'm guessing no on this one... but will rooting the S3 require a reflash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] agapedisciple:
Got my answer... yes, of course. Don't know why I was thinking otherwise. Oh well.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackeagle_mn:
hey guys,

i just want to ask u guys , since my s4 touch part is not working and i've bought a new phone and until i find a solution for it, i wanna ask you if its possible to backup the videos,images,contacts and maybe apps to an external sdcard using the recovery mode!!

i know there is that option there, but i tried it on a 2GB sdcard it stops with an error offcourse after some while because of having about 10GB data in the phone but when i see the 2gb sdcard it had boot file and backup files in a format that i wasnt familiar with!!

i want to be sure if i bought a 8gb sdcard or 16gb external sdcard will it be worth it to recover that media, images, videos, and contacts from it??

i have s4 gt i9500 and its rooted

plz advice

thanks

please help me to find any way

Thanks so much
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pard0ned:
Can't. The whole point of an imei code is it is specific to your exact phone, for identification purposes etc.

I'd say if there was a way to change it, it is most likely illegal.

and if it isnt too much to ask why not go along with the call recarding button for stock 4,1,2 umcu1 rom...

thanks

Are you rooted? Some one might have a root app that can do that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
Embryo has a recording button in the dialer right? If not MP3 Incall Recorder & Voice is a great and free recorder. Use the search button (in combination with proper english) and you will find what you are looking for. There are at least two threads with the powerbutton mod.

yup...i am
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
yep it does i wish i could just extrct it.. ill givr those a try..... i did the search and found out but cant figure it ut what to do i know it says to modify the frmawork -res apk..... but it says to go to a path res-value but cant find that on the framework file i fud res but no vslue folder or file... so i really did search it tells you to how to remove and add the screen shot... i dont want to download apps i already have one but i like the power button mod.... thats why am stuck and i ask for heko if some one eho does would do me a favor....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lingowistico:
There are already two threads with mods for UCMC1 and at least one thread for RUXUMA7.

The powerbutton mod is available for download, do you understand?

As for the dialer recorder, I have no idea except that there is a guide somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raptorddd:
No maybe you didnt understand or i didnt make myself clear .. i have power button on my phone.... but i dont want airplane mode in there ,instead replace with screenshot... and i cant remember if it has data mode remove that too. But the trhead says to change RES/VALUE/XML. There is no value path. So i was stock but am already downloaded the one recorder from play store. So i guess ill use that... thanks..

Now i want to see if i can fix my battery drain ....

[Moto X Q&A] Wingdom:
I have had my white Moto X for a couple weeks now, and it is starting to get some dirt spots on it, which are fine, a magic eraser gets rid of them no problem. My problem is how do I clean the crease/crack where the front and back meet? If the back came off like on phones with interchangeable batteries, it would be no problem, but it doesn't, so how do I clean out the dirt and whatever that has built up in there? Would a q-tip or cotton swab work with some rubbing alcohol?
[Moto X Q&A] matt99017d:
I clean mine with alcohol and a clean rag. Lightly dampen the rag and scrub away. Go light on it, you don't want it to get inside. Remember, if it does...... (dont) it'll evaporate and you'd probably never know....

Hi all,

The atom has just passed FCC testing and in the documents was the attached picture. Can anyone tell me what they think this adapter is??

I am trying to find a method of bringing the VGA screen out onto a monitor without the need for a PC or activesync, to provide universals instead of laptops for my staff. This may be the answer or can anyone suggest whether it would be theoretically possible to use a wifi enabled monitor and software such as nydots new pocketpc software.

If you have any other ideas for possible methods of turning the universal into a desktop/laptop replacement please let me know.

thanks

jayman
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vijay555:
Looks like it could be a dsub monitor lead, but then again, resolution is low so it could be a serial lead?

However, consider the x50v for tv out.

Alternatively, see if this works for pda > monitor

http://www.innobec.com/en/index.php

Tell us how you get on.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] BrettS:
The dsub's are definitely only 9 pins, so it's not a VGA connector. I have no idea what it is... it looks like two mini usb connections, one standard usb connection, and two serial connections.

That's the opposite of what he wants. It lets you extend your PC's desktop onto your PPC.

That said, though, I just downloaded the trial version and I'm trying it now. It's seriously cool. I have absolutely no idea what I might use this for, but it's still really cool.

Brett
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vijay555:
BrettS - I understand that sidewindow works PC to PDA (and it is great, although a bit gimicky :)), but I wrote PDA to PC so that he could investigate if they supply anything like that.

I can't think of any solutions that capture the PDA's screen at fullspeed really...they're all quite choppy so not ideal.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Carnivor:
looks like a x2 9pin serial adaptor to x2 mini usb connectors. and a power input to deliver 5v to the JJ for mains power.

i think it could be alot simpler cable than percieved
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] BrettS:
You could try this, but I'm not sure if it works with WM5 or not...

http://www.mobilityelectronics.com/handheld/presentation/pitch-duo.htm
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Jayman:
Thanks for your input, I have had a reply from O2 stating that this will not be compatable with the Universal.

However they did state that they are working on their own solution that should be available within the next few months. Which will also allow time for ROM upgrades to repair early video bugs and speed issues.

I will keep you updated as I learn more.

The idea is that as the majority of my staffs work will be calls, short emails, reviewing small compressed videos and data input into a web based database, that the universal can provide all these functions. A 15" screen that provides a minimum of 640x480 resolution will be easier on the eyes and a bluetooth keyboard can be provided for touch typists. This will save on desktops laptops and mobile phones.

I hope O2 provide a solution that provides a multiplug such as on the XDA2 expantion pack. This will then allow you to use hotel TVs as monitors.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Rudegar:
anything which is usb connected would require the device to be able to act as usb host to be able to transfer slow! tv or monitor out using usb

non of the HTC devices do usb host

some say that universal does but nobody have been able to confirm it

if it did one could use one of the usb video cards you can get

that is if there were drivers for pda's for those
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] craigiecraigie4:
I think that replacing laptops would be a VERY bad idea; JJ is a far cry from laptop power, the office apps are seriously crippled compared to the real thing, and emailing is not html. And all at twice the price of a small laptop...don't think so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jsoni413:
I am a long time iTunes user and have my music library dating back to 2006. I currently have the iPhone 5 but am really considering getting the GS4. The only thing holding me back is the fact that I use music on my phone so much and rely on it everyday. I just love how iTunes and my iPhone 5 sync perfectly in order of all my songs from the date they were added, going back to 2006. I know there are many music syncing apps out there but do they really sync perfectly in order as they would with my iPhone or iPod? If anyone has been in this situation and can give me some feedback I'd appreciate it as this is a key factor in my decision of switching over. Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Addiso:
Well you can just drag from iTunes to your phones music library and if the mo3 tags for you're songs are correct it should show up nicely on the phone. You can always edit them too with the right music player app, I personally use poweramp and have never looked back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crawshayi:
Quick google search found this article for you: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/can-i-sync-itunes-with-my-android-si/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] egore93:
You can use double twist and air sync to transport your iTunes over to your phone. This is what I use and it flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] misterpogs:
I-Syncr is another great synching app. I have it so when I plug my S4 into my computer, I can select which playlists, artists, or albums sync. The app is paid, but a free trial is available.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheUnfortunateDwarf:
You can always use Google music. That is what used when i switched. You can upload 20,000 songs for free, and stream them for free from browser or android app. It works great. I'm not sure if you can chose to download your music to your SD card or not. I have unlimited data so I only stream my music. That's why I haven't looked into that. I'm pretty sure you can upload music with DRM with no issues as well.

Hello All , so I've been working on a kernel for myself and decided to post it here for anyone who wishes to use it

I have only been building kernels for about 6 months now , and have had a few kernels for the Incredible 2 . I'm definitly no coder , I know basic C , and mainly just patch and know how to build a kernel , I'm not looking to innovate , this is simply a kernel that I made for my phone ,thats stable and fast . if you dig , cool :good:, if not theres's a ton of awesome kernels out there , go get one or make one :p

So that being said , I started with a basic CyanogenMod 3.0.72 source and added all the features I wanted, my main goal was for stability and I think I got it , Ive been running now bootloop free for a while. first boot sometimes hangs , but afterwords its perfect .

Here's a little info on the kernel :

- CyanogenMod sourced

- Patched to Linux 3.0.101

- Jrcu

- Ultra KSM merging , snapppy comp / decomp

- Built with Linaro 4.7 gcc , -O3 optimized

- Governors : dynamic-interactive ,hyper , sakuractive , wheatly , and the standards

- Schedulers : noop , deadline , row , sio+ , cfq , bfq , vr

- Added thermal throttle on/off , zram , and zsmalloc

- Added adj core , iva , mpu min cal voltages

- Freed 50mb ram back from ion , 1080p rec / playback still works

- Pgm works

If you want the full rundown Check out https://github.com/bsmitty83/SpecialKang-II/commits/spk1

4.2.2/4.3 anykernel

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitsua98:
Hey Smitty, so I wanted to try your kernel without flashing a new ROM, so I used a stock kernel zip and something strange happened:

I flashed the stock kernel, rebooted, then flashed your kernel and rebooted and got in a bootloop.

But then I flashed the stock zip and your kernel together in recovery and it booted fine. Weird, huh? anyway just wanted to let you know I'm enjoying this great kernel :)

Edit: Oh Noes, I spoke too soon. When I rebooted, my phone entered a bootloop again :(. What's going on?

4.2 or 4.3 ? What ROM ? I've never had these issues . I've been running this kernel for 6 weeks now , I kinda need some info other than it don't work ,

Has anyone else flashed this OK ? I wiped my system installed on a clean ROM OK , I've dirty-flashed OK , never lost root or had bootloops after the 1st boot.

I'll try to use a different ram disk , as that's the only thing I can think of that's causing it , also I have a new zip installer that has a cleaning script so hopefully that will help . I figured id get some problems since I only run vanir , I haven't tested on PAC or cm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dereaper:
I flashed it wiped cache and dalvic fixed permissions rebooted phone made it all all the way through "vanir is upgrading " said starting apps froze so I let start for 5 more minutes did a battery pull rebooted and it restarted the upgrading cycled started the apps and has been fine since

seems to lag the phone quite a bit if you try to charge and use at the same time but other then that its a great kernel

atom4.2.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATTACK:
Stock AOSP 4.3

I flashed stock kernel and rebooted the OS. Then I rebooted recovery and flashed this kernel, wiped cache/dalvik rebooted, got stuck in a bootloop. I pulled the battery and rebooted into recovery wiped cache/dalvik, fixed permissions and rebooted, got stuck on "android is upgrading". I pulled the battery and rebooted then it booted but no more Superuser. Rebooted recovery flashed Superuser, rebooted OS still no Superuser.

Didnt wipe either on this flash
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeff5347:
Weird, it took a long time to boot...didn't wipe either. Once up I tried to get into betterbatt stats, trickster, tibu...all say no root. I'm wondering if we have to come from the stock kernel. I was on fancy before flashing
