Oh I had those types of cases for the Galaxy S3 and Note 2, boy are they terrible! The plastic rim breaks SOOOO easily! :( I'd stay away personally.
[G3 Accessories] astazzex:
Seen this:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Luxu...-phone-case-best-quality-D850/2053421080.html

It seems to be an aluminium case which is a back plate replacement, also the rim is a solid piece. It seems to sit flush at the back and is slimmer. Anyone purchased this? / thoughts?
[G3 Accessories] bcbbanga4l:
Looks nice but IDK I don't trust the ali. I wonder if we can find it somewhere else
[G3 Accessories] zkyevolved:
I order all the time from Ali express and I've yet to have a problem... I wouldn't buy anything very expensive from there (to avoid import taxes, which are always a gamble and you never know what you're going to get...) but I do buy lots of little things. But if you're worried about knock off or bad quality, then that's another issue!
[G3 Accessories] bcbbanga4l:
Oh cool thats good to know. I always wanted to buy stuff from there like cases or headphones but I work for a bank and a lot of claims that come in are from there stating they never got product. How long does it normally take to come in?
[G3 Accessories] zkyevolved:
Well, I live in Europe. Usually between 2-4 weeks for me. Never buy anything in a hurry unless you pay the extra shipping to have it within a few days! Haha. I remember once I was trying out a new phone, I bought some cases off of eBay, and I ended up returning the phone for a different one... One week later! In the mail were some cool cases and screen protectors for a phone I no longer owned! haha.

About the claims? That's kind of absurd. How it is works is the following.

You find something you want. You give the money to AliExpress. AliExpress sends the order to the person, and they ship out your product. They usually ship out the product with a signature required and tracking code (of all my purchases, only one product has come without requiring a signature). After you receive it, you must confirm receipt. If you receive it and don't confirm receipt, within 4-5 days they're writing you to tell you that someone has accepted it at your address and if you could please confirm receipt so they get paid. It's funny how people claim no receipt. I'm sure it happens! Just ... I can't believe that often!... Maybe they're just really impatient and can't wait the 2-4 weeks :)

Best of luck!

Hey guys, I did so much of research about this issue before creating this new thread, but did not find anything helpful.

when I turn my phone's radio on and place a call it immediately turns hot within a minute and touches up to 60 degrees. And when I turn the radio off(airplane mode) it will be fine but stays warm when I use wifi or play any game. I don't have a service center for htc In my area and I'm helpless. :( is it a battery issue or board?

Thanks.

Yeah I flashed viper one and I did not face any problem and no I did not over clock. I downloaded some battery app and it's showing the battery health good.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Since the release of Android 4.4, I was unable to upgrade from 4.3 JellyBean because of two issues that completely disqualify newer Android versions for me:

1. Apps have no access to the external SD card.

This issues is NOT solved by moddification of /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file

Examples of apps include:

- Sygic GPS navigation

- BeyondPod podcast manager

- Locus trekking app

- BTSync

Full access to the external SD for all those apps is indispensable to me and I was unable to get it with KitKat even though I applied all the fixes I was able to find AND used Carbon ROMs which are supposed to have this enabled to boot.

2. Only one app at a time has access to SMS box.

This is also not acceptable, because normally I send/receive SMS messages with GoSMSPro, but I also use MySMS to send/receive/type texts on my mobile through my laptop.

In KitKat each time I have to switch the default SMS app which defeats the purpose.

I would like to know whether there is there a fix for either of those problems, and whether those issues are likely to continue on Android L?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Neither one of these things are problems or are broken things. They work as intended and have been explained as security measures. Annoying for some, yes, but this isn't a "bug".

http://www.androidcentral.com/kitkat-sdcard-changes

As far as the SD card, if you are rooted, which I am assuming because you mentioned playing around with the platform xml, there are a couple different ways to return full R/W functionality.

http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/kitkat-sd-card-access-t2790992

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.geeksoft.extcardpatch

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jrummy.sdfix

For SMS on the desktop, you might check out PushBullet. Their recent update has enabled replying to SMS, though not sure how well it works with Go, but they do support a variety of other solid SMS app connections.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pushbullet.android&hl=en
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
I am aware of Google's justification of breaking the SD card functionality. Whether we call it a “security measure” or “bug”, the fact remains I can no longer use a phone with KitKat to fulfil functions it used to, so to me it is no longer a smartphone.

The solutions you liked to I tried and they all failed to fix the issue. I have not tried the Xposed module, but I suppose it does the same thing as other “fixes” so I have little hopes with it.

As for PushBullet, it took me years to find MySMS which was then the only desktop SMS app that provided delivery reports. Are you aware if PushBulled does it, too?

In any case, this is a non-isue as long as there is no solution for the SD card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Not sure why the SD card isn't "fixed" for you as it works for 1000s of others (including many of my customers), meaning there is something else going on - quite possibly how the apps were developed. Do ANY apps work right with the fix applied? And once again, no, it's not a bug, as it was done intentionally. If it is a must have and nothing else works, you can always convert the necessary apps to system apps, if you have room(you should).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
I do not know what do you mean by „works”, but for all the programs I need on all the phones and KitKat roms I tried, SDcard DOES NOT work. This is even stated by developers of some of those programs (like BeyondPod).

To see if I am not mad, I just tried it again – I installed KitKat on another Samsung debvice. Latest version of GoBackup and BeyondPod could not write to SD card. 'Fine' – I think – 'I will install the Sdfix from PlayStore'. I did, and rebooted.

NOTHING changed!

KitKat is worse than a bug, because a bug is a accidental, and usually does not cause such gargantuan damage to functionality. What Google did with KitKat is worse, because it is deliberate.

This is ridiculous. If Android L changes nothing, I will have to keep all my phones with 4.3.1 forever, because of how useless Google made Android on devices with external SDcard.

Maybe they killed SD card functionality to force people to buy newer phones with huge internal memory, maybe they want to force people to use their cloud storage, or maybe they did it just out of pure mindlessness.

But they did, and - as I suspect - they don't plan to revert it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Have you tried the fix for BeyondPod suggested by their team...?

http://beyondpod.mobi/android/help/FAQKitKatSDReadOnly.htm

Tried switching the apps to /system apps so they'll have more permissions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Yeah, the fix they suggest does not work on KitKat, because you can't select external card.

I did not try to set BeyondPod to system app, but I can't do it with every app I want to use. Many apps refuse to even start if converted to system app status, and besides system partition is limited in size, and can hardly accommodate all apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I have an idea on why none of the fixes are working for you...

Install this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2524485

and try the mods again and reboot.

I'm not a 100% sure it'll help, but will only take a minute to figure it out... This step would also be necessary to make something like Xposed work properly on newer Samsung devices with Knox and all that security stuff they added.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Do you mean that SELinux may be preventing changes to the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Yes. It prevents a lot of different kinds of changes to the system.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Than this is not it, because the changes are being applied correctly and appropriate lines in the appropriate files are changed/added.

Which is why, when I try to apply yet another SDfix from the playstore, the program informs me there's nothing to do because the fix is already applied.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
Just because the line is there doesn't mean something else isn't interfering. Just telling you what I would try, since it takes a minute or 2. *shrug* Haven't had a phone with an SD card in awhile so don't have anything to test it with.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
Thanks, but it wouldn't take 2 minutes, because I don't have a phone with KitKat. And to install a KitKat and restore all the necessary data would take several hours.

So I might try it next time I give KK a shot, but I don't have high hopes for it because I think what I have with KitKat is what everyone else has - it's just most people either don't care about it or don't need the functionality.

[Moto X Q&A] 1ad_m12:
Are you rooted/ have safestrap/ have bootloader unlocked??? You could fix the problem without too much difficulty if you do.

If not, a factory reset may be your only option. If that doesn't fix the issue, I'd say talk to verizon or moto about getting a new phone.
[Moto X Q&A] myarms:

[Moto X Q&A] 1ad_m12:
Sunshine is a BL unlock exploit for phones with locked BL's.

What I mean by returning to stock rom is reinstalling the firmware. It is very possible that the OTA did not correctly download to your phone/ not install properly.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] damiloveu:
Dear all,

I have a Sprint version of Samsung Galaxy S3 and want to port to Freedompop. Currently, I have downloaded Freedompop free call/text app so I have registered their basic plan, 200 minutes/500 texts for free.

Go to http://www.freedompop/byod

It seems I have to use another email address to port my device to Freedompop. Could I use my current email address with my current plan? I beleive I could get a free data plan for 500mb monthly as well if I activate my L710 and pay for $20 activation fee. Is anyone the current user of Freedompop?

Any helps will be appreciated.

damiloveu
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
You can use any email address that you haven't used with them before. Follow all activation instructions that they send you in email. I hooked up my S3 and an old Epic 4G OG to freedompop. The Epic has a hard time if the signal is not real strong but the S3 works fine.

And you are not porting it...you are activating it on their service which uses Sprint towers...so you can use all the current ROMs.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Michale32086:
I have an ASUS Nexus 7 that I replaced the digitizer and LCD... It worked flawlessly for a couple weeks and then, right in the middle of playing a movie, the display went black.. I could still hear the audio, but there was absolutely no display..

I have been playing with it for a week or so, checking the connections and making sure everything was as it should.. Every once in a while I guess I hit the screen in just the right place and I activate something and, again, I hear audio, but there is nothing on the display..

Is this a common occurrence and is there something I can try beyond just checking the connections??

Thanx
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] JustZaphod:
Its sounds like your replacement screen/digitizer and LCD went DOA.. its not a normal occurrence, but I've seen it happen before..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] graphdarnell:
One way to isolate the cause would be to hook the tab to a TV via Slimport HDMI adapter (google the thing if you're not familiar). Make sure it's a newer tv (2008 onward), and a 1.4 or 2.0 HDMI cable. That done, if you see the usual tab display on TV, it means that the graphics circuit still works.

Which leaves you with (1) the lcd itself; (2) the cable; or (3) the connectors. With (1) you want to make sure it's not the backlight that's out. Turn your tab on in a dark room, shine a flashlight on the display surface. If you see faint display (not visible in regular light) of icons and background, the lcd is still good, but the backlight has died. Here, you might want to try to replace just the backlight strip (possible, but requiring dexterity).

(2) or (3) examine the pins closely with a loupe and make sure nothing is scraped or bent. If you have the tv display and none of the problems in (1), (2) or (3), you might have a bad lcd. But at this point, you might want to reflash the rom through fastboot to eliminate software as a possible cause.

Thanx for the replies.. I think I do have the necessary HDMI cable at my shop..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikieperikie:
Stock ROM, stock kernel, rooted (cf autoroot), game = Angry Birds Star Wars 2 free. glitches happen in every app, also home screen, but more cpu / GPU intensive = more glitching. No xposed, no other mods. By the way, this is after a factory reset and the problem persists. I don't know what you mean by "is the fps disabled".
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can also disable the frames per second limit of 60 that our device has. but when you do that, graphics will glitch and tear. if you factory reset, then its not enabled for sure. it can possibly be a hardware issue, since i get 0 glitches in any game.

[Android Apps and Games] JamsMusicPlayer:
github.com/psaravan/JamsMusicPlayer

Jams is a free, powerful and elegant music player for Android. Jams used to be a trial/paid app on the Play Store. Due to my lack of adequate free time and other issues, I've decided that I can no longer provide the level of support and active development that paid users expect from a developer. Rather than letting Jams completely die off and abandoning my users, I've open sourced the app and hosted it on GitHub (see link above) to encourage other developers to potentially improve it, use it in their own personal projects, and re-release it to users.

I will still occasionally update this app based on my free time, but it will probably be beta quality code. If you are a developer who's interested in using Jams' current codebase, I encourage you to fork this repository and/or directly contribute to it. If you decide to launch your own fork of Jams on the Play Store, feel free to drop me a line so I can feature it on my GitHub page.

Just want to thank everyone who's supported Jams Music Player over the past year. It's been an awesome experience for me and I really enjoyed receiving feedback from everyone in this subreddit and elsewhere. The app has received a major UI overhaul over the past few weeks and I will be publishing the free version of the app on the Play Store in the next few weeks once I get any existing kinks ironed out. Hopefully I'll be able to find more time again in the near future to work on this app full-time.

Imgur links to the new UI:

i.imgur.com/2hdMFzP.jpg

Tl;dr: I no longer have enough free time to develop Jams in a way that justifies asking people to pay for it. The app is now open source and a free version will be released on Google Play in the next 3-4 weeks.

"UNLOCK BOOTLOADERS

If you have locked bootloaders, flashing one of these will probably brick your device - with the exception of Nexus devices, which will usually automatically "OEM unlock" and wipe your data !"

"KNOX WARRANTY

If you have a KNOX-enabled device, using CF-Auto-Root will trip the KNOX WARRANTY VOID status !"
