Re: Swapped my Wizard for a Universal: power button confuses

Wow, your friend sure got ripped off. I came from a Wizard myself, the Universal is a much more refined machine. I will try to answer your questions to the best of my knowledge.

1) Why would you want to do that?

I have no clue, I wonder why there are so many backlight options.

2) Why is there a separate backlight button too, if holding the power button toggles the backlight?

Same answer as above :lol:

3) How can I turn the device fully off (apart from removing the battery temporarily)?

I've never had to fully turn it off, even in the factory manual they don't tell you. They give you a run around answer I'll quote here,

"Power button: Press and hold to turn the screen backlight on and off (you can also do this using the screen backlight button see page #9 & #17) When you close the lid the screen goes off; if you leave the lid open, the backlight will time out and then the screen will switch off. A single press of the power button will turn the screen on or off. The phone is turned on at startup, after the SIM pin is entered. If the screen goes off, the phone will still remain connected."

4) How do you generally use *your* Universal? Do you just close the screen and toss it in a bag/pocket? Or do you leave it in tablet mode and press the power button?

Becareful closing it and tossing it in your bag, the screen likes to make contact with the keyboard leaving marks on the keys and screen ( :cry: ) People usually put a small screen wipe rag in between the screen and keyboard before closing or get a silicone case. I have the silicone case, when I'm out it's in my hands since I'm not a belt clip person or in my pants pocket when it fits :wink: The only time it's in tablet mode is when I'm surfing the net or playing a game; I don't like to leave it in tablet mode as it exposes the screen to accidents.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Izzard-UK:
My friend is pretty happy with the Wizard - it suits his needs better and it is amazing what a difference the 'compactness' makes if you use it mainly as a phone rather than a PDA.

Okay, so it seems you can't turn the Universal off. I always plug my phone in to charge at night, so I'm not worried about that.

I was really impressed with the ruggedness of the Wizard. The screen never got any scratches on it. I wish they made iPods out of the same material! ;)

When you use the Universal as a phone, do you tend to use it closed? I feel sort of silly holding a chopping-board sized slab up to my ear. Maybe I'll get a Bluetooth headset :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DavidT.:
To be honest, I've only used the Universal's earpiece once or twice. It's too big to hold up to your ear for talking. When sitting at your desk, or when you're playing with it, people are always giving you the "Wow!" look but when you have it up against your ear as a cell phone they laugh...and laugh :lol:

I always use a bluetooth earpiece/headset. I have either my Bluespoon AX2 or Motorola HT820 with me at all times. Bluetooth is a must! I rarely use the Wizard's earpiece either, always bluetooth on the Wizard as well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssm14293:
Hi all!

I am trying to port a SlimRom (JB 4.3) to my device QMobile A5Classic (Gionee CTRL V1 minus the 3g) Phone. I am syncing its source from GitHub at the moment. I have the phone's stock ROM and kernel from the "boot.img" and the "system.ext.tar" created by onDroid script by a guy from here.

All I need is the right direction, this is my first port. I know linux, I know Android Kitchen, but I dont know what to do.

Please Help

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] dunker56:
I'm used to my Nokia 808 which allows for the Camera button to jump directly to Camera mode even when the phone is locked. With the S4 Zoom I have to hit power once, swipe then long press camera button. I was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to assign the Camera button to launch Camera app even when locked? I'm sure there must be a button app out there than can be mapped to do this?

ANyone?

Cheers,

Dunker
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] XDA sucks:
Haven't heard about this. The fastest way is setting a camera shortcut on lockscreen.

Sent from galaxy n7105
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] opdrago:
there is an option when you swipe the lockscreen the camera open automatic.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] dunker56:
I saw that option, but it's not really ideal, sometimes I just want to use the phone as a phone and not a camera, closing down camera everytime is annoying.

The Nokia 808 worked by long press on camera button and straight to camera (even if locked), or you could swipe screen etc and use the phone like a phone. This was ideal for all circumstances.

Right now I have set to have no lock screen and then just hit the power button once and then long press of camera to get going, but I would prefer just to set the camera shutter button to launch Camera at any time (other than device being powered off).

Perhaps there is a button remapping app?
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Kroy73:
Spooky!

I had the same thought this afternoon - not actually sure why, was just in an idle moment!

It would be a good and sensible option to have but I've got no answer, other than to have a link on your home screen or just long press the camera button after inputting your PIN code.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] dunker56:
I just bought the official Galaxy S4 Zoom case. It has one of those screen flip covers. I noticed when you pull the flip back to access the phone it automatically comes on, therefore once you press the camera button after this yer straight in.

Now i don't know how the flip cover works, whether it's like slightly magnetic and sends a signal etc, but this idea dawned on me...

If you had a simply cheap silicone case (or a screen protector) and had yer S4Z facing down on the desk, when you picked it up and turned it over it would automatically come on, then you press the camera button to launch the camera. That might work. Of course if it's in your pocket then that might not work...

Unfortunately the official case obscures the battery compartment and microsdcard slot, but worst of all the tripod mount! I could live with the others being covered but not the tripod mount. I'm going to attempt to drill a hole in the right location for the tripod mount... wish me luck!

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nayer.samir@gmail.com:
Hello my name is Nayer

I am new to this world and i am basically an engineer so i might understand many things but i am not a pro

I just bought for my kid a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7 Inch 3G lite and it has Android 4.2.2 pre-installed to offload my other Tab that i am using @ work and i wanted to install of the games that he wanted however, all games where he is interested are each 1 or 2 GB size and you must install it on the existing 8 G internal memory and so in no time it became full ... using Android SDK tool , i tried to set the default installation drive to be the External SD card but it is not working either and thus the only solution that i might think of is to ROOT it then installing folder mount (i have a full version available) then to move all those huge games from the internal memory to the external SD card ... i tried to install many of the CWM .tar.md5 file for SM-T110 and SM-T211 using ODIN but none worked and thus i am unable to install any of the universal Chainfire SUperSU files yet

Is there any possibility that i might get some help here ? Thanks in Advance ...

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ripshock:
Look it's about timing don't chect auto reset or auto reboot in odin and wait until the box is changed from reset to ok and use (vol up+home+power) then you will be booted to cmw if you are using philz go to philz settings then re-root sysyem or if you are using the regural edition flash a file called universal root,,,,,.zip don't remember the step but there is guides in the galaxy tab 3 7 android development and I hope it will work for you
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nayer.samir@gmail.com:
not sure about philiz but CWM didn't work

Thanks for your prompt response. i never thought that i can get such a quick answer ... anyway, the problem is not in flashing it with ODIN, the problem is to install the universal root...zip file , the file should pass a validation check and it doesn't and i had a similar problem before with another device GRAND DUOS and it was solved only when i managed to flash the right CWM recovery file using ODIN then i installed the universal root file without any issues ... so i still didn't pass the first step ... once i managed to get the CWM recovery file and the correct one flashed to this new tablet, i will be able to install the universal root file and it will pass the validation if the file flashed in the first step is correct ... so hope it may provide more information and hope i can get some support

Hello Ripshock

ok, just to ensure that i am doing it write, am i to use the CWM recovery file for SM-T110 or SM-T211

i will then retry it with factory reset but first i will take a full APK and DATA backup as tons of Gigas were downloaded in the past couple of days

I will keep you posted but let me know which one to use ... thanks in advance

Maybe it's my OCD or maybe just that I love my G2. Knowing that when the times comes and my battery finally dies my G2 will be useless actually bothers me. Right now is the perfect phone except for this one small detail.

Is there a solution for this? Will it be possible to use the phone when plugged in after the battery goes?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
The battery like the rest of the phone is warrantied for a year, and rated to last for several.

Do you really think you're going to keep the phone long enough to kill the battery?

Very few phones have replaceable batteries now, and I'll take excellent build quality on the phone over a removable battery every time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLimey:
I do. All my old devices get repurposed into weather/clock stations in various rooms in my house. Why toss them? I have yet to have any battery die though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
Once it's out of warranty you can just buy a new battery and replace it yourself. I don't think it should be too hard to take the back off... The nexus 4 wasn't anyway.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaki-:
Have you seen what you must do to replace it?

I doubt that anyone would do it himself. Never the less there are services who can replace it for you.

It is really hard to kill the battery. I have 3 years old phones which can last work day without charging.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popcenator:
I've never had an issue with batteries and I don't see having one with this phone.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Keep the phone hot while charging (say, as a GPS in the car) you'll kill it within 18 months, easy. But treat it right and it'll be just fine.

And yes, I don't like the non-replaceable battery. That said, I've only replaced the battery in one phone that I was still using in the last four years.

And while replacing the battery in the G2 isn't impossible, it's far from easy. Lots of little cables to unplug, move, heavily glued down stuff, etc.. Pain in the ass.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cst79:
I will not take years of significant extra bulk and 15% less battery life (2600 vs 3000mAh) just to easily be able to replace the battery 2 years from now. I would rather replace the phone when the battery dies, which will be needed anyway.

1. It sucks if you try and use it in the Western world - this is NOT meant for us.

2. It is incomplete - Try and flash it using the recovery procedure and you are in for some major butt hurt. ONLY flash it from within JB!

3. Reception sucks.

4. It needs to have GAPPS installed via recovery.

5. Downgrading is a massive headache.

6. It will change your handset from U06 to C00

7. Did I mention that it sucks.

Do you live in Europe or the Americas? If so then try flashing it from your phone's recovery and let us see how long you are going to run it.

As proof do paste a screenshot of your phone's "About phone" and Model number in particular. Let us see what that says when you flash this firmware. LOL
