[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DF5JT:
That doesn't make sense. It has been removed from PlayStore probably for licensing reasons and a non-optimized app should perform worse on an older device, not better.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnaMajhol:
No really :) ... Older phones has older gpu and the developer of the game has optimized it for the OLD gpu (which means it will work best for the old gpu).. it's never important if you have a newer generation of gpu if the game itself isn't optimized for it.. And I don't care for the reason of removing it from google play since the developer already stopped supporting his own game to work on newer devices ...

Good luck anyways :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DF5JT:
Forgive me for sounding insolent, but this does not make sense at all.

Unless you have a genius programmer who does all his stuff in low level assembler directly on the GPU, a 10 year old flash game ported to Android cannot be optimized to run smoother on an i9300 than it does on an i9505; it won't even know about any hardware differences through all the API layers involved.

There are so many abstraction layers between the application and the hardware that other factors play a role in understanding performance issues.

Kernel comes to mind in this case, since the most up to date kernel on the i9300 is a 3.0.* series and the one on the i9505 is at 3.4.*. Playing around with some CPU settings (governor and I/O scheduler) there are distinct differences in performance, alas none of them good enough to make a precision game run sufficiently smooth.

I am curious to learn about a truly technical explanation, but "old game, new hardware, optimized for old hardware) just isn't good enough as an acceptable explanation for performance issues.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] devnulled:
I have an older Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and of course the infamous memory issue with android deciding the internal memory is labeled as the SDCARD and adding a card is labeled different which even apps2sd wouldnt fix so ran out of room fast. What I want to know is did they finally fix that issue or was a work around found for it, also if I didnt really use the s-pen much would I be just as well going with the standard galaxy tab 10.1 or with the note? I do game on my tablet and read quite a bit and watch lots of movies (requiring my toshiba qosmio X875 3d integrated model to do video conversions to formats my tablet can play and mostly use my nexus 7" 32gb 2012 tablet for that). I guess this asked quite a few questions for my rambling. Thank you for any input you have on this.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] @home:
When I plug my Gear in to my pc it's not showing, I have enabled usb debugging & have the driver installed as I have got the Note 3 as well.

Is there something I'm missing?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] maxime9999:
Try changing your usb cable. I had the same problem dude
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
The Gear doesn't have the options to be mounted as a Windows volume.

So you can't see it in the explorer.

Just use adb to push/pull files and install apk. It's free and work well.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] willcor:
hi,

the easiest is to install Wondershare MobileGO for ANDROID

search Google for free 15 day trail.! ( i am running stock and no root on Gear and phone ,so no problems )

install on pc and run and connect either your gear or Note 3 etc

Make sure USB debugging is enabled on Gear in settings/Gear info/About Gear /software version ..tap till you see notice ,"you are one step away from been a developer" ( something like that )Go one step back , tick USB debugging that is now visible ?

.(i use a old note 2 usb cable to connect to pc )

It will install drivers for gear or phone automatic !

with Wondershare you can sideload apps ,

,( tip ...be sure to install ES file explorer or something similar to see any relevant files from watch

i also use usb cable to charge my gear from pc /laptop,its easier )

You can also install most free apps directly from Play store within Wondershare MobileGo..( Gear connected to laptop and select" Playstore" at top of .menu, if you are in Wondershare...

se attached snip of my Gear in Wondershare MobileGo

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] fOmey:
Or use my rom and enable MTP, will come up in windows explorer like any other device.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] @home:
Just holding off rooting & romming just for the moment. Want to be sure that it all works ok for now.

But I have been looking at your thread, thanks.

I've kies & odin to see the gear now, I tired another usb cable.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Xirix12:
Wow and I didn't even think about that! My Wondershare trial ran out. Downloading your latest and going to flash it today.

BTW, I am glad I rooted and installed null_ and I saw a post that Kingo can root the the Gear.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aviguera:
BTW if you use the Null ROM you can also connect ES File Explorer with Dropbox and just drop files back and forth into the Gear that way, without having to use adb push or even connect it via USB.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
Just to be curious, how can we enable MTP without null_ ?

I manage to activate it via adb shell with sys.usb.config mtp,adb and sys.usb.state mtp,adb.

A Galaxy Gear appears in the device manager, which isn't the case in the natural Gear's state (sys.usb.config acm).

So I guess a part of the work is done. But nothing shows up in Explorer. So something is missing :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] 3vo3d:
OK Here's my lazy question. How do you do that? I mean the drop box trick.

Tyia
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] aviguera:
If you swipe right in ES File Explorer you'll see the option for "Cloud" (instead of LAN / SD). You can then click on the "+" button to add a new "cloud server" and choose Dropbox

You then authenticate with your dropbox account and select the folder you want to sync.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] papashex:
Any success with non null mtp? I find that null seems to slow down the flick response for viewing the time compared to the stock rom and various leaks ( I suppose it's part of battery life extension). It is a watch first and foremost for me, so I need the time to POP. It would be nice to transfer files to it like every other android device I own without custom roms or $40 applications. I know the function is in there somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
No success at this point.

Something is missing but I don't know what. I manage to have 2 ghost drives using the mass_storage mode but I didn't try to mount the volumes.

A thing that I remarked. After installing null_, enabling MTP and switching to stock ML1, the MTP has remained. So I guess there's a parameter somewhere but I can't figure where at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] papashex:
Look at the Triangulum Kernel thread. It will enable MTP in a "stock" rom. I can now dump files to the device from windows explorer (I'm also rooted with TWRP recovery on the BNA3 rom).

Not tethering yet so I still have to adb install apps as the Gear doesn't allow unknown sources. Is there an entry in settings.db I can tweak to allow unknown sources?

edit: found the key in settings storage - settings.db/global/install_non_market_apps but no keyboard to edit it on the gear :((

along the same lines I found settings.db/system/mtp_drive_display key, currently set to 1 with mtp working. Can you compare to you settings with no mtp working?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
There's no such key on the settings.db.

Only mtp_open_session, mtp_running_status, mtp_sync_alive, mtp_usb_conditions_met, mtp_usb_connection_status.

All is set to 0.

Can you give me all the key and values with this command : SELECT * FROM system WHERE name LIKE '%mtp%' ?

Install one via adb install ;)

Ok, I've set mtp_running_status and mtp_open_session to 1 according to my S3.

The Gear shows up like "Galaxy Gear (DC***)". The driver failed to install.

Relaunching it leads to a SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device driver that fails too... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
Ok, I manage to get it work.

That's great. But I can't do it again... Damn. :mad:

The Gear must be rooted, because some apps need to be launch as root.

The last thing is done via adb shell

am start com.android.systemui/.usb.UsbStorageActivity

So you had to click on the connect button and there the Gear is in visible in Explorer.

Some commands that i've launched before that are related to MTP.

am startservice com.android.MtpApplication/.MtpService
am start com.android.MtpApplication/.MtpApplication

I'm trying to figure it out. But unfortunately it's not as simple as to check the MTP checkbox...

EDIT : the pieces of the puzzles

I manage to got it right a second time, but it's a total mess...

su
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
INSERT INTO system(name,value) VALUES('mtp_dipslay_drive',1);
update system set value=1 where name="mtp_running_status";
.quit
am startservice com.android.MtpApplication/.MtpService
am start com.android.MtpApplication/.StoreAddPopup
setprop sys.usb.config mtp,adb
am start com.android.systemui/.usb.UsbStorageActivity

The truth is somewhere in this lines. I don't know the order so far. Maybe some of them are useless.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BruceFeuillette:
Ok, I got it.

I need confirmation that the manipulation is the right one.

Here's a quick How To.

You need : rooted Gear, sqlite3.

For rooting, there's a sticky in this forum. So, install sqlite3 on your /system/bin/.

Launch adb.

Here are the commands you have to type.

su
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
INSERT INTO system(name,value) VALUES('mtp_display_drive',1);
UPDATE system SET value=1 WHERE name="mtp_running_status";
.quit
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mtp,adb

Reboot your Gear and it should be done. MTP is enabled at boot and your Gear is visible.

As it's persistent there's no need to redone this.

​

This is a stock Gear running NA3.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] papashex:
Sorry for the delayed response. Once I found the Trianguluum kernel provided MTP I stopped worrying about manually triggering MTP.

I see there's a new UK firmware, US can't be far behind. When I'm flashing that I'll give your mtp method a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] F1USGP:
When I connect my Gear to Mobilego it shows up as a Samsung GT-S5690 and so can't load Null. Has anyone seen this before?

Regardless of pc, mac, usb, mobilego, airdroid, terminal commands, dos prompt commands, odin, cydia, you name it have tried it! im seriously losing my mind. I just want to root my gear!

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadMan10:
Hi,

I got my first windows phone yesterday - the lovely Nokia Lumia 1520. It's running windows 8 and I'm loving the phone and it makes a refreshing change to Android which I've used for the last god knows how many years (my first Android device was a HTC Hero).

Anyway, I've downloaded a few apps and the one that thing that jumps out, and is quite annoying, is the amount of advertisements in these apps. Without exception, every app I've installed has ads and some are very obtrusive.

Anyway, maybe I've picked a bad bunch, or maybe I haven't, but is there some app/hack I can do that will allow me to block these ads? On Android you could root your handset and install Adaway. Is there something similar for Windows phone 8?

Cheers.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Nothing for Lumias right now. Even on ATIV phones (Samsung), which are by far the most "deeply" hacked at this point, the only thing possible at this time would be manually editing the HOSTS file.

For what it's worth, most WP apps have an option to buy them and remove the ads. Support developers, don't just ask for free apps with no compensation to the people who make them!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadMan10:
Ok, happy to pay for an app if (1) it's worth paying for and (2) it defo removes the apps.

If it's a case that most free apps have ads embedded and paid don't then I can live with that.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Most paid apps do not have ads.

and those which do, are easily identifies because they get low ratings.

You know, these apps don't write themselves, and the ads in apps are one of the few advertisement policies which actually gives something to the developers (unlike 99% of ad on the web)
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Localhorst86:
I have not had a single paid app that has advertisements. Often the "trial" or free version of an app has ads, but that's something I can live with as it is a way I get to have the app and the developer gets his reimbursement. Every time I went from free/trial to paid, ads were removed.

And I must say that, compared to my android device the ads in the windows phone apps are mostly unintrusive. Most of the time they are only text based, very seldom is it a graphical banner. But by far not as annoying as the flashing ads i've seen in free android apps.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thals1992:
Afaik, there are only a few advertising SDKs out there for Windows Phone, and they aren't really used in an abusive way yet. I just find it weird I see the same ads in app as I see when I use the device browser. The ad I most frequently see is for Lumias (for the past few weeks its been the 2520....) Hmm....
[Security Discussion] erazzor:
Hi everybody,

i had today my first expirience with an Android Spy tool.

It was "mSpy"... has anyone found out how to remove this Software from a non rooted Samsung Galaxy S III mini....?

On the mSpy site, they said it is impossible to detect mSpy wether or not it is installd on the phone..

But i can't imagine that a software is so undetectable!

thanks a lot!

erazzor
[Security Discussion] E:V:A:
I second that. Spooky spyware that fetches all.

Nothing can be hidden, so if anyone can provide a list of files or APK...

THIS is the mSPy site.
[HTC One X] h8Aramex:
I tried:

- Facebook -> no effect

- Twitter -> no use, only used for maketing, they don't answer

- Email -> The site (both local and global English) just throws me to the main page, and nothing happens. I get no mail that I submitted my message, I get no message on the website that my message was sent OK. I get nothing. Just throws me to the main page and that's it.

Tried both pages as I said, no effect.

There is also a phone contact, but I doubt I could reach anyone there.

The story:

I could use my phone and was satisfied with it (HOX) for half a year. Then it started dying, and spent the rest in service.

Been using my old Nokia ever since. (What a joke...)

Now I'm really, really fed up. Yes, I waited patiently weeks, months, read the fake/forged repair documents and whatnot...

But it's just useless. There is no effect whatsoever.

Even if they list that they changed the moon or... whatever, they did not. They spit lies in your face, in the form of a huge list on an A4 paper.

So I want to reach someone who could help me.

Story:

- Phone first had difficulties waking up in any weather/heat condition.

- After a while phone could not wake up in cold temperatures at all. (Not outside cold, just below 15C.)

- Then it started having glitching screen, and the lock-up issue did not go away.

- I changed the SIM cards and returned the phone.

Took them weeks to get it fixed, and when I got it back, I could not even turn it back on.

Asked the service that "wtf?!" and he said "you are right"... Just what the hell?

What the f. did the service people doing in there? Like... "well, let's write a lot of things on a list and that will surely fix it!"

So he took the phone back and the phone was in service again.

Fast forward weeks again, the phone is back.

- I didn't want to waste time with contacts transfer (it's an ass. HTC provides no tools, software support is outright ****.)

- So I sat down and I had glitches in the menu when scrolling. As I said I did not use the phone prior, because either I use one phone, or the other phone.

- And after a few minutes of use, when the chip started heating up (tegra), the phone locked up and the screen went off.

tl;dr: the phone been through many repairs and it's A BRICK. A PERFECT PAPER-WEIGHT.

If you are thinking of buying a HTC device: Don't do it man. It sucks.

The software you get is a joke (on PC), it does not help. MyPhoneExplorer is like the only way to KINDA transfer data, but even that fails. I'm a programmer, I spent days on fixing problems regarding this. I don't even know how a normal person could transfer their contact list.

And this is just one problem. As you can see build quality/quality and warranty is the other thing.

My entire county is crying on the local HTC wall that their phones are plagued with problems and no one cares about them. I want A PHONE after I paid so much money.

Help!! I recently installed and OTA update on my LG G2 and after I rebooted it, it got stuck in recovery mode, it doesn't go to download mode. My device is rooted and I had Cyanogenmod 11 installed, i tried restoring to stock rom but it didn't work and i also did an advanced wipe where i wiped dalvik cache,cache, data, internal storage,system and i did a format data as well I totally messed it up.:crying: can anyone help me fix it?

taking an OTA with custom recovery installed = bad for phone. I think that this might be your only hope assuming you have TWRP as your custom recovery.....http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451696. I have not seen something similar for CWM, but guessing similar method would exist somewhere

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrInEn:
Ok I just fixed this with CWM. Go into your device manager on your PC, you should have a yellow exclamation next to do D800. Right click that and select 'update drivers' the 'browse for drivers' and finally 'let me pick from a list of drivers'. Once you do that, in the list should be android device. Select that and then it should bring you to another list where GOOGLE is selected and ADB Test port. Select that and force that driver. Once it does that ADB shell will work in CWM! Then just follow the commands above! Reboot and rejoice!
