[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] staryoshi:
I haven't felt a black Note 3, but I LOVE the feel of the white one. It's plastic, but the texture feels nice (Better than a smooth plastic back). I'll be seating it inside of a Spigen Bounce case, though, so it would be a non-issue either way.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvanburen:
I actually returned my white one for a black one. I had one of each in my order from AT&T, and after handling both I knew I had to swap the white one out. Luckily they didn't give me a hassle or charge me a fee.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFanboy:
Also does anyone know if Samsung has given any indication as to when the accessories will be out? How long did it take for the s4? Hopefully the replacement backs will feel similar to the black one. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulGG:
The white S view cover looks great on the black phone plus you get that great screen look in menus etc of edge to edge on the black phone. I also think that the titanium grey Note 2 gave a similar effect, but nowhere near as good as the note 3, especially with a black wallpaper. I will post a screen shot of mine below

I like the touch of my white back, it's softer than the note 2 plastic, it's strange as it's still plastic but with texture .

Had no choice with colour as black phones to me just feel less premium.. No idea why, just one of them strange things :p

Hey there - can I ask where you got your pouch from for your N3?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agbbah:
I also sold my white note 3 and got a black one.. definitely the feel is better with the black.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFanboy:
I think I will get the white one and eventually get a leathery feeling replacement back, or the s view cover
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I much prefer the feel of the black back cover over the white one.

Luckily for me I find white phones hideous.

[Moto X Q&A] henrm:
Hey everyone,

I got my Moto X last week and so far i love it but i can't seem to get OTG to work. I bought a cheap OTG cable from amazon and i'm trying to use my PS3 controller with this phone. The PS3 controller does light up for a second but the phone never seems to see any inputs from the controller. My Nexus 7 running (rooted) 4.2 can do this just fine. What am I doing wrong? My phone is stock, not rooted
[Moto X Q&A] bhundven:
I would guess that the ps3 driver is not built in to the stock kernel. Gonna have to wait for unlocked bootloaders and custom kernels.
[Moto X Q&A] henrm:
I actually just tried my wired xbox controller and it appears to be working. weird.
[Moto X Q&A] Raiken05:
Hey you're not the only one having issues with your PS3 controller. The OTG cable worked just fine on my Moto X, it's just the controller. I used my PS3 fight pad from Madcatz and that does the trick!

Hi

The themes were independant of the O2 active install on the previous rom, but not it looks like the install.ARM.cab file contains the themes and also the battery monitor.

Any way of getting these but not getting O2 active?!

Last time I tried O2's active rubbish it achieved nothing but caused loads of crashes.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Clariel:
Even with all of these lovely roms and overclocking, my phone still lags when I try to run some 'modern' apps. So I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions?

I've poked around a bit, but this was the only thread that was actually helpful.

My only suggestion for others so far is to try Boat Browser Mini, but if I discover anything else I'll report back.

I'm testing ExDialer & Contacts right now, and liking it so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Why not just run a stock debloat, keeping it streamlined and minimalistic? :) That's what I would suggest
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Clariel:
Noob question: So stock would be lighter than cyanogenmod? Would you recommend a stock jellybean, or a lower version? The phone came with ICS on it.

Still interested in lightweight apps though, even some of the defaults are laggy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
I'm a tw guy myself but it's all about personal taste. And I would definitely go stock jb and get away from ics, but that's just me :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] theprozaic:
do you use greenify? it'll definatly take off some load from ram!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Tried any tweaks yet? Exit_Only has some new tweaks out, Operation Killjoy.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Clariel:
I don't know what I did, but I ended up in some boot loop from hell that I couldn't fix with Odin trying to flash this. Got out of it eventually by recovering a CWM nandroid from within AGAT. So while it's almost certainly my fault, and I your rom is probably wonderful, I don't think I'm going to try it again :silly:I do really appreciate the suggestion though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Clariel:
I used crossbreeder for a little while, wasn't sure if I noticed any improvements or not. The whole comadose suite made my phone slower, by intuition and by benchmark. I'll look into killjoy. Thank you.

EDIT: Just started using killjoy. Liking it so far.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
That's because ComaDose is a battery saving tweak, not a performance tweak;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Clariel:
Ah, I thought it was supposed to do both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
It underclocks the CPU to 1000/25 Mhz, which would be about the only thing that would effect performance and you can change that manually.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Hmmm, that's interesting. What steps did you take to flash? If you used Agat's recovery to flash, that may be why you bootlooped, depending on what version you have. I recommend using Chris41g's el26 kernel for awhile to flash stuff, especially if you're just starting out. Additionally, while in CWM, did you wipe everything? Coming from CM, you would certainly want to. And lastly, you may have gotten a bad download. Try downloading again if you want to try it. I'm certain it's not the ROM, not to sound conceited by any means, just know from using it everyday and flashing back to it dozens of times :) Good luck and enjoy. Let me know if you give it another go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Clariel:
I trust you, it was just a traumatizing enough experiment that I'm not up for trying it again soon
[Java for Android App Development] Koki180:
Hi guys, I hope that this is in the right place.

So I have been making an app for a few weeks (First one) and I had no idea that android apps was not responsive to screen size. OK not so bad. I have come from HTML CSS and PhP so that type of thing is a constant battle!

I did some digging and found out a few things, I found this sizing.

xhdpi: 720px by 1280px

large-hdpi: 640px by 960px

hdpi: 480px by 640px

mdpi: 320px by 480px

ldpi: 240px by 320px

When I first started creating the app I stuck all of the images in the mdpi folder! and well that did not work. So following the guide I rezied all of the images put them in those folders to the right size ect I also created all of the same layout folders.

layout-small

layout-large

laout-normal

layout-xlarge

not forgetting to add what was needed to the manifest

<supports-screens
android:anyDensity="true"
android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true" />

Before I did this things would move around not the images but the text would jump around on smaller or larger phone sizes looking nothing like what it does in Eclipse. So after adding all the new folder ect I loaded up the emulator and got up a small phone, and it looked great, I emailed the app to myself to test on my phone again, and things are all out of place (The text) The images are in odd shapes too.

on what I would call normal phone sizes the text is still moving around and is not going into the positions that I set them to.

I do hope this makes sense! I a little tied!

Thanks guys, hope to get this issue sorted very soon
[Java for Android App Development] FridayAngel:
I can't really tell what the problem is without looking at the layout XML, but off the top of the head, did you use "dp" and "sp" units to keep the sizing relative?

What kind of layout did you use? Are the positioning absolute or relative?
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
You could also create different layout folders, but I think that the problems are in the layout files. If you post them (or one of them), we will be able to help you better.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
Thank you for this.

I think that the problem are lines like these:

android:layout_above="@+id/TextView04"
android:layout_marginBottom="156dp"

You use a margin. Now, on a bigger phone, this margin is smaller. That's causing the issues.

With screenshots (one showing the layout how you want it and one how it is shown on big screens) we could help you better.

One thing for the meantime: Have a look at dimension resources. You can put these files into directories like values-large and values-small, too. (More on that: Link)

Btw, the link is the android namespace which is the same in every xml file. (For Android development you don't have to know what it is. Just don't remove it in your file. ;))
[Java for Android App Development] Koki180:
Wihtout the Margins ect how would the text be place into the right places? (Taking knowlage from html and css =D )
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
No. It wouldn't be placed right. There need to be some changes for the margings. You could define them as a dimension resource. And those can be put into /res/values-small, /res/values-large and other folders like these.

As I said above, with some screenshots we could help you better. (You can replace all texts and images if you want. ;))

Maybe some other layout would be better. But we can't tell you without any screenshots.

So this was my uncles tab and it was needing an update. Whenever he went to update it, the tab froze and was stuck. Couldn't power it down or anything. So he went to flash it and did something. He said there is no software or firmware. All that comes up is a battery picture with a loading symbol for awhile. My computer isn't reading that it is plugged in. So how do I go to put a factory install (or anything else) on here if its not being seen?

Hi, just got my G2.. still playing around with it before I decide to keep it or exchange it for a Note 3 (i previously had a note 2).. anyway one thing i noticed is that i am not getting any notifications of me getting any emails from gmail.

any ideas?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] richardpunch:
Ladies and gentlemen,

Recently, whilst flashing a new ROM, I had an issue. I tried to restore a backup that I created with TWRP 2.6.0 with the same version. I got to the "Restore data" stage in the logs, and it failed.

I have two data.ext4 files in my TWRP backup folder: the first is data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win001. I'm thinking this is the issue.

I have already flashed a ROM and booted, so I am out of the woods. Just wanted to know if anyone has had any success with split data files in a TWRP recovery.

Thanks for your time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] leaderbuilder:
Look for TWRP-Recovery-jfltespr-2.5.0.2 seems to be the most reliable for backup and restores right now.

The 'splitting of the EXT/data is NOT the problem. That's the way twrp is compressing the images.

Also there are some ROMs that have partition problems with certain kernels, so take note of that.

I make a crap load of nandroids and switch back and forth pretty often. 2.5.0.2 has been the most reliable for me.

Once more thing I do is verify the nadroid via the AFV app. I boot to recovery, create backup (always of every partition) then boot to ROM and run the AFV app on the backup and make sure it verifies. Then I'll boot back to recovery and wipe/format and flash away according to the dev's instructions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] richardpunch:
Leader,

Thanks for such an informative write up. I will check into rolling back to a different twrp build. It's an unpleasant solution, but if it works I'll have to bite the bullet.

Thanks again!

Any way to remove the unlocked tag?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
your quite welcome,glad to help as always.

while i do get the desire to customize all aspects of ones device,im not a fan of the bootloader modifier for a couple simple reasons:

-it carries a certain amount of risk.no matter how small,i just dont think folks should mess with the bootloader too much since its such an important piece of firmware.

-some folks are using it to decieve their carriers about being s on and locked,rather than taking the time to restore to stock correctly.

so unfortunately,no ideas or suggestions for you there,lol. ive never messed with it and have no idea how it works. :o
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
I think Scotty can help you put it back to "locked" if you want :p
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2470340

assuming you want it to read locked and not gone entirely
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
Sorry, that's what I meant. I want to look as stock as possible in case I have another radio mishap. :D

But does that completely relock the bootloader, or just reset the flag?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
Pretty sure stock has a locked flag

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
well,both. its NOT a patched or hex edited hboot.

hboot checks mmcblk0p3 to see what the status is. if it finds 00 00 00 00 then it keeps itself locked,allows no access,and displays locked. if it finds HTCL,same scenario,but it displays relocked. finding HTCU it will allow access to boot,system,and recovery and display unlocked

when you first flash unlock_code.bin,the flag is set to HTCU

when you enter fastboot oem lock the flag is set to HTCL,and is not accessible while s on. so once youve unlocked while s on,someone can always tell.

even while s off,there is no "naturally occuring" situation(like running an ruu) that can change the lock flag back to stock locked,as p3 is not a block that is updated,and no other scenarios other than flashing unlock_code.bin or entering fastboot oem lock will set the flag.

the command is resetting the flag in p3 to 00 00 00 00,wich is just like it came from the factory. no tricks or false banners,its now 100% from the box stock

hope that clears it up :)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] kdj67f:
Thanks for that little bit of insight Scotty.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
So I wouldn't be able to do fastboot commands over ADB.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] scotty1223:
correct. being unlocked lets you use fastboot flash partition imagename.img and fastboot boot imagename.img ,but only for boot,system and recovery,so their useage is pretty limited. you still cant fastboot flash a radio,hboot,splash screen etc.

its not a terribly big deal,you just need to install things in RUU mode,using the fastboot flash zip zipname.zip command. so you can still do everything you could with an unlocked bootloader,you just have to go about it a bit differently.

alternately,beaups new method will possibly include a patched hboot,wich will let you fastboot flash all partitions(tho still not give you all the eng commands)

since its easy enuff to make it locked again,i keep mine unlocked. but it honestly doesnt matter much.
