Let's chat about the Samsung Gamepad ($79.99)

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EI-GP20HNBESTA

You can get a $30 discount on the Gamepad when buying with the Gear VR from Samsung. Enter coupon code STAVR1 at checkout to receive $30 off Samsung Gamepad with purchase of Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition.

So anyone with the Gamepad, is it really necessary? I didn't order one with my Gear VR and wondering if it will actually be much use.
[Samsung Gear VR] cbutters:
I was considering the samsung gamepad for a while.... But it seems like it might have some compatibility issues with emulators, and it seems lacking a bit in terms of button placement / d-pad.

I was going to get a PS3 controller with clips, but the Note 4 didn't work with it, at least not reliably. So I sent that back.

I settled on the the Moga Hero Power instead, its $35 on amazon, I picked mine up for ~40 at target. It has two modes, legacy and current mode so it is pretty much 100% compatibile with everything, and it doubles as a phone charger in a pinch. I have really enjoyed mine; using it with PPSSPP and other games and emulators, 100% no issues. Its a little bit clicky and loud compared to some console controllers, but it feels extremely accurate.
[Samsung Gear VR] segura.org:
Thanks for sharing this. I would roll over to Target but I don't want to miss delivery of the Gear VR . . . oh well.
[Samsung Gear VR] m3ha:
Are the MOGA controllers confirmed working with the Gear VR? Someone with their unit already should test the compatibility.
[Samsung Gear VR] 67srbell:
Exactly. Hopefully, the Samsung gamepad isn't the only one that works with the VR
[Samsung Gear VR] dunndada:
MOGA

So far it seems moga pocket does not work for vr content.
[Samsung Gear VR] jarazmek:
Moga works ... sort of.

I have ordered a samsung gamepad from ebay for 40 bucks, waiting to see what the difference is. As for the Moga, I have the new Pro model and in its stock for I've heard it does not work. But since I am rooted I use the Moga VK

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ca.sandstorm.mogaime.gui

With this app and the rooted function of selecting a keyboard to be the gamepad I have had good results with the Gear VR. So far the only app that I have found trouble with is the BLUEVR (underwater swimming) the controller works for forward, backward, left, right but the four buttons YXBA don't respond. May just need to be re-mapped but it works. Also with the moga and this app I can play all of my emulators and other non supported games. The Moga universal driver works also but I have better luck with the VK app. I will post an update to give feedback on the samsung controller.

FYI, stick to a stock ROM, I went to a custom superstockrom and now the VR wont work. :(
[Samsung Gear VR] varpness:
I have the Samsung gamepad and the buttons are unresponsive, the left "joypad" clicks and doesn't move smoothly, and I have to switch it off and on again, sometimes 10+ times to get the bluetooth to connect with my phone. And I've never been able to get it to connect while in VR. I always have to switch it on and get it to connect from the bluetooth screen first. If I switch the controller on while in VR I get a "Bluetooth connected" / "Bluetooth disconnected" message every 5 seconds.

I gotta say, it's the worst Samsung device I've ever owned.

Still, I CAN play games it with.
[Samsung Gear VR] perryh1:
I use my ps3 controller with sixaxis and if works perfectly
[Samsung Gear VR] Bruce lee roy:
Moga pro w/ ab
[Samsung Gear VR] NoteSeries:
Ps3 controller using sixaxis as well and works great with vr
[Samsung Gear VR] jarazmek:
UPDATE

Received my samsung controller today and personally I dislike the form factor compared to the Moga or even the PS3. The left thumb stick is stick and grinds a bit, as do the other but the left is the worst. The buttons feel like cheap clicker style buttons, With all of that the controller is nice in function with the VR, I may have been due to a bad button map on the Moga but the VR is more responsive to the samsung controller, also something to be said for the built in storage space in the VR case, the Samsung controller fits perfect. So at this point I would say its a toss up. Either way you go you are going to have some sort of issues be it feel or compatibility. Maybe once the Innovator comes off the box it will have better support for other controls. Hope this helped some.
[Samsung Gear VR] gingerdude:
I bought a samsung gamepad when I got my tab pro 8.4 and hated it.

I got this from ebay and in my opinion it's much much better and works well with vr.

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281489880129&alt=web
[Samsung Gear VR] jarazmek:
Any chance you have a name for this controller, no shipping to US on that sale. I would be interested to try it for that price.
[Samsung Gear VR] Markinter 5:
I bought a Red Samurai controller from Gamestop for $13 and it works fine.
[Samsung Gear VR] gingerdude:
It's a terios T-3 I tried it with the new games released yesterday and works perfectly.
[Samsung Gear VR] apprentice:
My Gamepad experience

OK, I was a bit peeved at having to buy the bundled Gamepad version of the Gear VR as the solo version was out of stock. However, now I have it I am glad I did go for the version with the Gamepad.

Firstly there a few games that you can only play with the Gamepad, "Dread Halls" for example and secondly navigating the menu system is more comfortable with it. The controls needed for the VR games are quite simplistic, so the Gamepad works well. You also get the bonus of using the Gamepad with about 45 fully compatible phone games on the Samsung Console Store and it works with many others elsewhere.

Considering the Gamepad in the UK costs about £60 you are getting it for half that price with the bundle.

So all in all it's hard not to recommend.

Works Perfectly.
[Samsung Gear VR] Bugblatter:
I've been using my PS4 controller over BT. Works pretty well.

I am satisfied with the Samsung Gamepad, I use the emulator PPSSPP with it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] tweakradje:
Took a quick look.

/default.prop:

persist.service.adb.enable=1

ro.secure=0

/init.rc:

on property: persist.service.adb.enable=1

start adbd

/sbin/adbd binary present

Also present:

/diags/busybox

/system/xbin/su

/system/app/Term.apk (v1.0.3)

If you can find a way to start this terminal (activity com.android.term/.Term)

perhaps a Diag mode? and then start /system/xbin/su :)

So everything looks ok for adb. But if it is passed through USB?

You can try adb over Wifi if you know the ip address of your Pono.

EDIT: just learned Pono has no wifi...

Recovery mode? I see /sdcard/package.zip in /system/bin/recovery binary.

/package.zip

Choose a package to install:

update_package

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Package not installed

Good luck.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Psych0_D0g:
mhm package.zip is new to me, that would be very helpful if that works, i will try to install a rom using that location instead of internal storage/.pono/anyrom.update

I have a launcher already installed and a customized rom.

I can flash stuff using android test-key signed rom zip's
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Carceri:
Why would they have ADB running if there's no way to access it? I have tried what I can to access it over USB, but so far no luck.

I repartitioned my internal SD card and lost access to my player. The player boots fine, but it just shows 0.0 GB of 0.0 GB free and won't prompt me to mount the disks as mass storage when I plug it to my PC, so I can't repartition the storage again. Therefore I need ADB access :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Thenetstriker:
Maybe this option is missing to get adb to work:

persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Psych0_D0g:
nope, tried that option aswell already, adbd on the device is running tough...

i wonder if there is another unpropagated USB connection inside the pono just for debugging stuff...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] adamski777:
old firmware file?

does anyone have a copy of a pre 1.0.6 firmware update file. since 1.0.6 the internal storage is mega slow - and have searched high and low to see if i could roll back. thanks in advance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] NothNoth:
Hi everyone,

I know this thread is 6 years old, but... :eek:

I'm realizing that I'm not using my Pono for years, mostly because of the incomplete UI. I'm more a developer than an Android expert, so I'd like some help in order to get started.

I have basic knowledge of Android (adb, apk, all that wizardry), basic reverse skills and pretty good knowledge of Linux.

So here is my questions to you :)

- How did Psych0_D0g extract the logcat logs? To me, having logcat means that he did actually make adb work.

- how did he extract the recovery log? I didn't find any was to boot into recovery (pressing volume Up and boot, or volume down, or both..)

Next step for me will be able to generate a firmware update image in order to add/remove what I need..

Thanks for any help!

On my Verizon NI 4.4.4 S-5 the location tag is set in the camera settings. You hit the gear icon and up pops all of the various settings. Location Tags are in the row that is third from the bottom on the left hand side.

Guys / gals, I’ve just posted a really cool comparison & roundup of three stereo BT headphones: the Nokia HS-12W the Plantronics Pulsar 590 and the Plantronics Pulsar 260 to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1161097 . Make sure you don’t miss it if you’d like to choose a stereo Bluetooth headphones model or just would like to know more about A2DP – it’s a MUST for all A2DP fans!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] apd:
Great article, thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Accessories] Menneisyys:
Several new Plantronics Pulsar 260 reviews published

It was over a month ago that I’ve published an all-in-one comparative review & compatibility report (available HERE) on three A2DP (stereo Bluetooth) headphones. Now that the headphones have also arrived at the U.S. too (at last, something we Europeans got way earlier than you Americans ;) ), a lot of reviews have surfaced on well-known headset / headphones manufacturer Plantronics’ new Pulsar 260 also featured in the above-linked roundup.

Unfortunately, as has been emphasized numerous times by me and a LOT of other mostly XDA-Developers and HowardForums users (I really recommend following the BT & A2DP-related posts in these two forums, there are some very knowledgeable people there; for example, Fire Dragan in the latter forum), the current state and implementations of the A2DP standard are far from perfect and interoperability is REALLY reduced. This means on paper A2DP-capable headphones are not guaranteed to co-work with any A2DP sources. An example of this, in addition to the major sound quality problems with the MS BT stack, is the constant reconnection problems (resulting in annoying beeps and pauses) with the Nokia 5300. And, of course, the sound quality issues...

This also means you WILL want to read my review & comparison. Believe me, no matter what some people state, these headphones deliver REALLY BAD sound quality when used together with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack coming with almost all current Windows Mobile-based devices (except for the Acer models, the HP iPAQ’s (including the hw6915) and the Fujitsu-Siemens T830). I’ve also elaborated on these issues in this PPCT thread – it’s REALLY worth giving a read to see why I state they are incompatible with the stack. You’ve been warned – don’t come telling me you’ve shelled out $50…$100 for a really bad-sounding pair of BT headphones because I haven’t warned you ;)

OK, the new reviews, packed with photos:

The Gadgeteer review

GearDiary review

Digital Trends review

CTIA 2007 Blog post; related PPCT thread

BTW, upon the European release of the 260, Plantronics still didn’t have the promised and, in the leaflet accompanying the headphones, referenced online documentation. Now it’s out and available here.

[Sprint LG G3] rangekid15:
Hey guys, I wanted to return my sprint LG G3 to the stock firmware so I flashed the stock zv4 factory .tot using LG flash tool. When the phone turned back on everything went good until I finished the setup. I had no data. No 4g or 3g. I also had none of the sprint apps and had now way to retrieve them. They should automatically download but they didn't. If it helps, in settings > about phone > carrier it says "LG" not sprint.

EDIT: I flashed it again and this time I have data but still no sprint apps.

In the dialer, try ##SCRTN#. If that doesn't work, then ##RTN# will. You'll need your msl for the latter one. Get it in post #4 of our Flashtool thread.

Back up your EFS first!! Links to that and everything else are in the stickied FAQ.
[Sprint LG G3] rangekid15:
The "SCRTN" one just basically restarted my phone and reactivated it but it still does not have the sprint zone app, etc and it still says LG in the carrier. I tried the RTN one and pressed "reset default" and it is asking for a "service code"

hi first of all i am new here and very green :D

i had a major meltdown of my laptop which i usually keep all the passwords for IE.

long story short i lost all my passwords but had some stored (on IE) on my nokia 930. i have no way of getting the password reset as i do not have the email address anymore (disposable one :eek: doh), but have the info stored on my Lumia. is there any way i can get the info off the phone so i can get my old account back?

tbh i am not sure where to look and have tried google (ing) it but can't find an answer.

thanks in advance
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There's no easy way to get at the cookies on a Lumia, but there are a few tricky ways. One of the least bad, if you run Windows 8.1, is just to turn on synching between the phone and the PC. On the phone, go to Settings -> Sync my settings, and turn on the Internet Explorer and Passwords options. This does send your passwords through Microsoft, but it should work. On the (new) PC, use Windows 8.1 and sign in with the same Microsoft account you used to sign into the phone. Make sure the PC is also set to sync settings, run IE on the PC, and hopefully it'll have your credentials!

The next best option / best option that doesn't send your credentials through a third party is probably to use a proxy. Fiddler is free and fairly easy to use. Install it on a PC, connect the phone to the same network as the PC, run Fiddler and tell it to allow external connections (the setting for this is under Fiddler Options), and then go to the WiFi settings on the phone and tell it to use the PC's IP address (and the port Fiddler is listening on) as a proxy server. To set a proxy, press and hold on the WiFi network that you're using (on the phone) and select Edit. Once the proxy is set, use IE on the phone to browse to the relevant sites, and you'll be able to see the cookie values (which are not passwords, but are authentication tokens that are usable at least in the short term). If you need the secure (HTTPS) cookies, you can tell Fiddler to decrypt HTTPS traffic and then export the certificate it uses to create fake site certs. Install Fiddler's root CA cert on the phone and you'll then be able to see HTTPS traffic too.

Yeah that's because once it's unlocked you can't lock it again. There are three statuses 0-locked 3-unlocked 2-RELOCKED. So you can't actually 'lock' the boot loader once it's unlocked.

Hello, I buy a G2 and I have been reading a lot of opinions here on XDA but I can't decide at all.

I want something protective, and also lightly

I saw Nillkin frosted shield here

But I think it is not very protective, or I am wrong?

I also see Spigen Slim Armor here, it seems to be protective but is heavy, is't it? How much does it weight?

Or maybe a tempered glass + Nillkin frosted shield?

Is there anything between nillkin and Spigen?? (I don't like silicone case)

Is Diztronic Matte + an screen protector the best for me?

As you see I read, but there are a lot of opinions in a lot of pages and it is difficult to make up my mind.

Thanks for helping and sorry for my english, I am from Argentina
