[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jormeno1982:
Good morning,

My sprint samsung galaxy s3 was working fine this last night and this morning, i looked at the time and it looked to view the time and i see the reboot option screen. So i hit cancel cause i didn't want to reboot. After i hit cancel my phone rebooted anyways. I haven't been able to get past the animated boot screen. It gets to that screen and than restarts. I am not able to access recovery mode at all. I see the recovery options screen at the very top of the screen but it never actually enters in recovery mode. I am able to access download mode with no problem. I am running twrp im not sure which version. i can say it was the version used with wicked sensations to update from 4.2 to 4.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more information from me please let me know.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jormeno1982:
I don't think so, because my case covers the button and prevents debris from going in there. and i examined it as well and it don't look likes its stuck

what happens when you try to access recovery?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It's a very common problem with the S3 that the actually power switch, which the outer button actually presses, goes bad or gets stuck. You may be able to get it unstuck either with our without taking the phone apart.

Not trying to be funny or anything, but he says what happens.

The Galaxy S5 Active has a new app called Activity Zone which gives you the Barometer, Compass, Flashlight, and Stopwatch. It works perfect on our Note 3 (any variant) without installing any additional packages. Enjoy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nygmam:
The Exercise link in the menu seems to crash the app. I added S Health to the list, but there is no way to remove Exercise from that menu
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] princeferoz:
Okay, thanks. I will try to remove it.

To Anyone: feel free to make any changes if you want to the app but please share.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Morningstar:
Are all these permissions really necessary? I don't think I've ever seen an app asking for so many before....kinda leery about installing it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Jfree3000:
Those permission might be due to the fact that those apks use the smart watches in some manner.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Morningstar:
That may well be the case, but even if it's something to do with a smartwatch, why would a barometer, compass, flashlight, and stopwatch need to do things like read my messages, modify my contacts, read my bookmarks and web history, modify accounts, or "add or modify calendar events and send email to guests without owner's knowledge" (just as a few examples)?

I'm not saying that the apk is modified or malicious, and I'm not trying to insinuate that the OP (or anyone else) is up to something nefarious or anything like that. But again, why does a barometer, compass, flashlight, and stopwatch need to be able to read (and modify) all my private data and accounts? I'd like a clear explanation from someone more knowledgeable than I of why such all-encompassing permissions are actually needed before I go installing something like that.

:beer:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] princeferoz:
As far as I know, those permissions are for the exercise part of the apk which requires the heart rate sensor either on the S5/S5 Active or the Gear.

I can assure you, I just grabbed this apk from the S5 Active firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ncdub:
The permissions are so you can share things such as your location, altitude, etc. Nothings modified. Thanks [MENTION=4264674]princeferoz[/MENTION] for a great share!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Morningstar:
Thanks for the response. Like I said before, I wasn't saying the OP had modified the apk or anything like that, just wanted further clarification. My phone's about to die, but I'll install it as soon as I get it charged up and check it out. Thanks!.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RaymondPJR:
Awesome, I like it!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] futty:
The exercise shortcut works fine for me. Maybe cause I have the s health from the s5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] princeferoz:
Good to know, thanks.

Hi,

I have a chromecast and was showing my friend as he was thinking of getting a smart TV but would consider alternatives.

He watches Man Utd games and streams them all.

I was trying to see if I could do that with mine but had no joy, as the game appears in a pop up.

Is it possible?

If using android then yes, I do the same thing but using a app called torrent stream, would use the website wiziwig for my links or the app itself for live sports channels. Using an app called bubbleupnp I can cast to my chromecast. This does exactly what your friend would be doing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Tux:
Hi,

i have a problem with KitKat CM11 based Roms, after hearing music via Bluetooth the audio of phone calls gets distorted.

I now tried 3 different Roms OmniRom, in which i initially found the problem, Resurrection Remix 4.4.2 and at the moment SlimSaber 4.4.3.

In between i tried a conventional TW based Arya Mod V7 where the problem didn't occur, so i am sure the problem doesn't come from my Bluetooth Adapters.

I went back to CM11 based despite the problem as the TW based ones are so laggy and memory consuming :eek:

Is there already a bugfix available and i am to noobish to find it :confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That's not going to help you because they're unique - IMEI's are device specific, and it's illegal to change them.

That said, most mobile repair shops have equipment that can re-write an IMEI to a phone fairly cheaply (for example, where I live I can have this done for AU$30 or so).

When i play any videos on my Vario II, the screen seems to jitter in potrait mode, but when in landscape it seems ok but then doesnt play properly.

Anyone else having this problem. I'm usuing TCMP as the player.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChaoticDruid:
Hi, there are some posts that have tips to help with playback using TCMP, but I myself quickly got irritated with it and installed the latest PocketTV, watched a few of my mpeg's with it and it plays them good, you might check it out.

http://www.pockettv.com/

hope that might be of some help to you.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
This is a known incompatibility issue with all Hermes devices and betaboy from Corecodec will be looking into it, when they get hold of a hermes device. Pocket TV as mentioned in the above post, only supports ATI Imageon 3200 device chipsets, the Hermes has a different one (still unknown which one), that is not yet yet supported under TCPMP. Additionally, the Hermes ATI decoder only hardware supports MP4 playback, but you should be able to get non-scrambled screen and semi-acceptable playback in Rawframebuffer mode. For ATI hardware accelleration on the hermes try encoding MP4 video clips and playing back in WMP10 until TCPMP issue is resolved. Excellent playback and not jittering in playback, forward/rewind or in pause and resume.

Hope this helps.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChaoticDruid:
I dunno about all the chipset junk, but pockettv plays em very nicely, and I don't have to reencode all my videos(what a waste of time) or deal with semi acceptable playback.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
NumSkull!!

PocketTV supports: MPEG-1/MPEG..........that's it!

TCPMP supports:

Video: MPEG-1, MPEG, MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, AVC/H.264, Theora, MKV, Dirac, OGM, WMV

Audio: MP3, AAC, AC3, OGG, Shoutcast support, MKA, MPC, Speex, FLAC, AMR, u-law, Wav

Pictures: JPG, PNG, TIFF, MJPEG

Multimedia: COSP, SVG

....but if all you want to do is playback MPEGs (which still have to be encoded at a resolution and bit-rate PocketTV can support - even if you haven't had to do it!), then stick with whatever you're happy with.

However most people who are used to having the freedom of using various formats as is supported by TCPMP, will undoubtedly miss the many adjustable settings that also come with the player, hence posts in this particular thread for those who are trying to achieve the type of flawless device/software compatibility most of us have been accustomed to in the past with TCPMP.

Have you ever even tried TCPMP? Have you even considered that AVI file formats & codecs dramatically reduce filesize compared to MPEG, with substantially better quality? There are many different factors why we all use different software and usually the same common denominator why most choose to use the same software i.e .....it's the best out there!!

Even the name of the software you advocate is non-sensical....PocketTV??!! Where is the TV part of the application? Anyway nuff said. For those who know what I'm talking about, my forementioned posts already stated that Betaboy and the Corecodec development team are looking into the compatibility issue regarding the Hermes. Meanwhile my suggestion was, in the interim, to encode new vids to MP4 if you desire DVD quality on your PPC but that you can, for now ONLY,.....get acceptable playback using Rawframebuffer mode, still giving you more format options than the useless PocketTV. :lol:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Guest69:
yep, just turn off the ati and use rawframe buffer option in the tcpmp video options.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] rpwood:
Does WMP10 support MPEG4 derivatives i.e. XVid and DivX "out of the box" or do I need codecs?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mackaby007:
Don't think you can add codec to the WMP10, but I could be mistaken. As far as I know, it won't support any derivatives of the MPEG4 family only 'original' mp4 as in i-Pod mp4, hence the reason why I use 'ImTOO DVD to iPod Converter 4' and 'ImTOO iPod Movie Converter'. They work perfectly for me for the meantime, but I will be switching back to Divx and Xvid once the Coreplayer 1.0 Mobile CE has been released. You just can't beat their filesizes over quality. MP4's look every bit as good as the best AVI's, but the difference in size is anything from 200-300 megs of extra space! :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] iiodii:
thanks for the hint of changing to raw buffer in video option. works great. i love tcmp!!!! it is the THE corking best

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] cbrehob:
So, I've had the phone since launch. Overall things have been pretty good. However, I am starting to get frustrated.

Two major flaws that will make me put this phone up on Ebay and probably never go back to Samsung.

A. SD card is locked and I can't store big files on it. This morning I've started getting insufficient memory messages when updating my apps. Yet I have 10 gb of space still available on my SD card. Unacceptable.

B. Plugging a charger into this phone in the dark (when you come home late night after work and don't want to wake up your wife) is nearly impossible. Due to the size and awkwardness of the USB 3.0 port. I'd say I have a 10% chance of plugging in a traditional USB and 2% of plugging in the provided 3.0 USB cable without having to turn on a light.

Other issues.

-Camera still takes way too long to initialize.

-Samsung software isn't the greatest.

-There have been no updates from Samsung after launch. No phone is perfect, this one could also use some help.

I might grab the next generation HTC because I think they are really onto something.

Edit: not being able to root and fix these issues myself is the biggest flaw of all, if Samsung remains unrootable then I won't use their phones.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] xmoox:
I am in complete agreement with this. I had an HTC one m8 for a 10 days and couldn't stand the camera(I now relize it's not that bad) . But the software was top notch. After using the Samsung for 2 weeks I realized I had made a mistake and wanted to return it and go back to the m8. It was a much more enjoyable experience very slick software. I also hate how I have to turn on the light to plug this phone in. Also this camera takes a lot of blurry shots. Also the lag between apps. If htc releases a phone with a decent camera I might go with that. I've been also looking at the g3 and if that's unlocked on verizon I might just go with that. I'm sure if this had some modability I would be happy lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] IamPro:
There is a good chance it won't be unlocked (stock Kit Kat G2 can't be unlocked alth u can still root).

Maybe you should turn a light on once in a while to charge...just saying. To complain when you won't turn a small light on is so ridiculous.

Missing the point here methinx. When you've got someone sleeping like a baby in the same room and it is pitch black, turning on a light to plug a phone in is not only discourteous and rude, but is likely to get you a well deserved moan and potentially a slap from the aforesaid, previously sleeping, now awoken, partner.

I got a 6 foot charger from Verizon, can't remember the brand, it was part of the package during the launch day of the s5, but it has a built it led in the tip so when you touch it it lights up so you can see what you are plugging it in to. It really helps, it was like $15 so not that bad of a deal plus as a disabled veteran I get 15% off accessories.
