I ve been using it for couple of hours, I can say it s excellent firmware. Finally we ve received a pretty good update, it s smooth and fast. I ve already uninstalled some bloatware apk ( about 70 :laugh: ) , at last I can say I am very satisfied with 4.2.2 ;)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] samkent6:
Good to see Samsung still cares about their older devices :P
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Skazzy3:
Try running a few apps and multitasking. Prepare to be disappointesd.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ballmead:
Is this better then the Australia 4.2.2

That firmware was a major disappointment, very laggy.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] sushika:
G' day mate, it is definitely much better and smoother. You should try it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ballmead:
I've tried it this afternoon and I concur, it's much better than the old Aussie 4.2.2
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] p4skhe:
With 4.2 Australian ROM i had battery drain (7 hours battery life vs 11 with 4.1), with UK is the same ?

Already running 4.3.1 on mine... Good to see at least if I wanted to roll back to stock I could have at least 4.2.2 :highfive:

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Theandroidfan:
This is so unlike Samsung to release a laggy update as touchwiz us normally quite smooth
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] samkent6:
I was thinking the same.. before on 4.1 mine was butter smooth, now its not, its not like 4.2.2 is a huge step up either, confused as to why performance is so bad:s
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] aceluiis:
This is better or australian?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] playlois:
I tried to install australian firmware, and I am very disapointed with the battery life and performance.

Anyone tried the UK firmware? It is better?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] p4skhe:
[/QUOTE]

UK firmware is much better than Australian, battery life and performance are the same as previous 4.1

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uly609:
Is there any way that we can get this feature from the G2 on the Z1? Basically what it does is when your screen is off you knock twice on the screen and it turns on/off.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 301stSpartan:
I believe it requires kernel level changes. Unfortunately due to the camera breaking upon bootloader unlock there hasn't been a whole lot of custom kernel or AOSP ROM development. Once Sony fixes the bootloader issue I would expect more kernels coming out and wouldn't be surprised to see one with this feature.

Can't wait :D

Edit: the closest I've seen is a mod to allow the camera button to unlock the screen. Is on this forum somewhere, though definitely not as cool as the double screen tap
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uly609:
Hmm.. it works off of the proximity sensor doesn't it? I wonder if there are any apps that will do this.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 301stSpartan:
Good point. There are. I downloaded ProximityScreen Off Lite yesterday and one more I forget the name of but haven't tested it at all yet. Might work, but will drain battery if you use the screen on function because I think it will need to keep a wakelock

[General Accessories] goriath:
Hi guys,

I own an SE Xperia Pro which has bundled an EC600L USB cable. L cables have angled USB micro connector and now, for some reason, I need a cable with straight USB micro connector, so I went for the EC700 USB cable.

I bought it on eBay as "original" but compared to the stock cable of my phone there's something that doesn't win me over ...

I took some shots of both cables (but, since I'm not allowed to attach links yet, you'll have to add aitchteeteepeecolonslashslash at the beginning):

imageshack.us/a/img703/4124/0tj5.jpg <- That's the EC700 cable I bought, it came in that plastic bag

imageshack.us/a/img820/1180/w6p6.jpg <- EC700 (top) compared to EC600L (bottom). On the EC700 label the production date code is missing while the quality of the print overall seems to be poor

imageshack.us/a/img17/3156/5s4u.jpg <- EC700 (top) compared to EC600L (bottom). Again, on the EC700 the QR code is absent and the print is somehow different from the print of the EC600L label

I showed these pics to Sony Customer Care and they weren't able to tell me if the cable I bought is a genuine SE cable or not...

Have you had some experiences in that sense?

Thank you

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schism169:
Hey guys. I went on my Gmail abut an hour ago and it said no connection when I tried to refresh, I went on my browser and it worked without a problem.

What I tried:

- installing previous version

- clearing data/ cashe

- Uninstall in it.

- switch between wifi to 4g

- asked friend if he could connect to Google play and it worked for him.

- restarted my phone

When I Uninstalled Gmail, I went to open Google play but it said "no connection" so I Google something again and I had no problems.

Tried the same as what I stated above with no luck.

Any help?

Note: I reinstalled Gmail via an apk I downloaded but still doesn't work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Try to install an updated google play store from the themes and apps section. Gunthermic and Camblue both have updated inverted apps if you like those, Camblue also uploaded the original copy for installation. This might resolve your problem.

Having a working play store will probably fix your Gmail.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Schism169:
Thanks. Just ended up using another Rom. Problem is fixed =)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] PeterW:
Hi there,

I have used Spb Pocket Plus in the past and one feature I really liked was that it tweaked the default File Explorer so that filename extensions are displayed.

I no longer use Pocket Plus but I really want to be able to see filename extensions. I have tried Total Commander as a replacement but it is not a seamless replacement. The same goes for Resco. I would prefer to avoid using additional software to save on space.

I assume that Spb must have simply tweaked the File Explorer application or WM2003SE simply by creating or amending a registry entry. Does anyone know how they do it? I'd really like to get this functionality back without having the overhead of Pocket Plus on my device.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] GuyGascard:
:D You could use resco file explorer it will allow you to show the files extensions..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] christopherwoods:
Look, he already said:

Can't you read? He specifically doesn't want to use Resco because again, it doesn't integrate with the File Explorer in the way that SPB Pocket Plus does.

I'll have a quick dig around in the registry for you, don't hold your breath as I'm not 100% sure what I'm looking for, but I'll have a look anyway, I might come across it (I kinda half-know what to look for, I'll definitely know what it is when I come across it ;))
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] PeterW:
:lol:

Thanks Chris! :D
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] christopherwoods:
Not had much luck so far, it must be a shell extension which P+ adds... I'll keep on doing some research, as I'd quite like it too.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Hi Peterw,

I do understand your point in space saving. Resco file-explorer combined with registry & ftp add-ons takes around 1Mb to install, but you can easily install it in the storage folder. Guess you know already that resco gives you much more than file-extensions only. Personally I like it, I know it's a matter of taste & maybe BIG Storage.

If I happen to stumble around a registry key to solve it, I'll let you know.

regards, M
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsdecker10:
I've been wondering this for awhile now, but never have found an answer. I know that when these phones are hooked up to a wall outlet with the included Samsung charger and cable that came in the box, that it will be charging at the faster USB 3.0 speeds. My question is... Will we still be getting TRUE USB 3.0 charging speeds when we have the included Samsung USB 3.0 cable hooked up to an adapter in the car via the cigarette lighter? Or do we have to purchase a separate USB 3.0 car charging adapter in order to achieve TRUE USB 3.0 charging speeds while charging in the car? :confused:

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
no you will get very slow speed unless its usb 3 if you get ,galaxy charging current lite on google play you will see

on main charger i get 1250

samsung car charger 650

usb 2 on pc 450
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruebarb:
USB... Has no relevance when using a charging only port. Only the max amps of the port is important. I built my own charger with a 3a usb, I get the 1.2amps. Read the max amps of your car charger, on the back.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
My local Vodafone mast/transmitter is faulty on the 3G side, preventing me making/receiving calls, but 2G seems fine when I tried it on an older phone.

There doesn't seem to be an option to put my S4 (GT-i9505) into 2G-only mode....there is an auto 2G/3G option, 3G only option or auto 2G/3G/4G option....nothing else, and naturally, the auto modes put the phone into the (faulty) 3G mode.

Are there any hidden settings that I can change?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpboronat:
Try 4g Toggle in Play Store. In that program you will have an option to change this option.

There is an app to get you into service mode at the below link. Not sure if gsm can be enabled here or not, be very careful with what settings you change here.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
I think the Dropbox link doesn't work for me because the full link is not showing, i.e. there is a ... in the middle of the url.

I just tried the google link and it's asking for permission to access this from you.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
Ok, just gave you access to it so hopefully that will now work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
Thanks.

I've now got and installed the app, but it looks complicated in terms of what I'm trying to achieve.

I've no idea what Bands to select & what issues it could cause if I muckup.

Is there no easier way, or a "nicer" app I could try?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
This is still a major issue for me and no-one seems to be able to point me in the right direction.

I was wondering....if I simply turn off "Mobile Data" in the settings, will that automatically put the phone in GSM (non 3G) mode & let me achieve my aim??

I've just tried doing this...there is now no letter next to the signal bars, but the phone can take a call.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
Surely this should be a simple answer for someone on this forum?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpwrf:
Download Advanced Signal Status. Open it then press Additional Info. Press device information and scroll down then change the preferred network type to GSM only.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotlips69:
Absolutely fantastic!

Dear all,

Thank you for participating in this psychological experiment. As most of you have probably figured out by now, there is no such app as "Cover" lock-screen. We just wanted to make an experimental test of how long humans can wait to beta-test a prospectively fantastic app, before their heads explode. Thanks to your participation we have seen quite a number of explosions, and other type of freak-outs in the past couple of days, not to mention a user, who ate his entire phone (we are incidentally posting this message from his account).

Got it fully working on my GT-I9100 and on my rooted KFHD. It used to FC often until I moved the apk from /data/app to /system/app and rebooted. Since then it works as one would expect of it...

General Problems:

- When setting addresses, it doesn't seem to recognize anything outside of the US, but takes what you enter anyway. :p

- Car mode is still too sensitive.

- It should close the apps it opens after you stop 'peeking' at them, now it just stacks them.

- A little more customization would be nice. :)

KFHD Specific Problems:

- Does not see any SSID when selecting Home or Work wifi network.

- Sometimes a row of suggested apps on the lockscreen (after scrolling up or down) just doesn't render and stays invisible.

- Pressing the Home Button isn't fully disabled when Cover's active, making the Statusbar retract to the position it takes for my Launcher. :p

No specific problems thus far on my GT-I9100, though, where it seems to work rather perfectly. (Not counting above General Problems, of course ;p)

Well,... So much for my two cents...

Grtz,

~~ Nephatiu ;)
[Android General] diestarbucks:
Hello. I have removed the download link in the OP. The app is currently in private beta testing and the developers of the app have asked that you sign up for the beta at their website here www.coverscreen.com. This helps them keep better track of things and helps ensure you are getting the latest updates.

I'll leave the thread open so the discussion can continue, but please refrain from posting any other download links.
