[P3300, MDA Compact III General] lblawii:
Hello,

Wanted to share with you a solution I found to an annoying problem. I have the "Orange SPV 650" with French WM5 loaded. I previously owned a PDA with which I was very accustomed to using "Letter Recognition" as an input tool instead of the keyboard.

The problem is with this new P3300 phone, I couldn't write accentuated characters (like é) or punctuations (like : ; ). It seemed that "letter recognition" input tool immediately recognizes the letter once you remove your stylos off the screen, hence typing a colon ( : ) that would require two strokes would end by an apostrophe (') or a dot (.), it wouldn't wait for you to complete an eventual second stroke and adjusts recognition accordingly, which for me was a perfectly normal behavior with my PocketPC 2003 PDA.

The solution, though strange, is:

In the general settings menu, when you select "Today", you can choose between two layouts:

1. Default WM5 one, where you can put programs on your desktop such as calendar, messages, tasks, etc.

2. an Orange layout where you have a task bar at the left where you can have easier access to your applications..

As you might have expected, choosing the Orange Layout, would cause the the above problem with letter recognition :confused: don't ask me how, but I've changed this several times back and forth and the behavior is very consistent. A friend of mine has experienced the same behavior with his similar device.

Hope this helps,

Hi everyone!

I've installed CM10 (4.1.2) from SD card. Now I want use device without SD card. But applications don't work without external SD card (No external storage available). I suppose this is because CM swapped internal storage with the SD card.

Now I want swap it back.

I've found vold.fstab file located in /system/etc folder. It contains:

dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host/mmc1

Please help.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ekci:
I'm new in Android world, and I have to buy cheapest Android phone that will be able to handle Android 4.4 or newer.

I have found that the best option is Galaxy S3 and that there's one on Aliexpress. I'm aware that it might be a clone but it will not be my primary phone. It just has to be able to handle newer Android.

Can't post a link, search for the top ordered Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 on Aliexpress.

Has anyone tried it? Will software see it as genuin S3? Thank you!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maultasche:
if it's a real i9300 then you are only able to upgrade via custom rom. Official support via samsung stopped at 4.3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xterm1:
If You need official KK (4.4), then You must search form S3 4G/LTE (9305). Basic S3 ended with 4.3 (as maultasche said).

This must be S3? If not, try search Moto E - it's cheap and small chance to buy fake one - in S3 (generally in Samsung phones) it quite ease to buy fake/copy when your search for cheap phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ekci:
You are right, thank you! And I will check Moto E but what about S3 Neo?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xterm1:
S3 Neo has 4.4.

You can check every Samsung phone here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Just type model name/code (S3 or 9301) and it will find all/latest version of firmware.

It you want a phone for calling/texting (and using in general), you should list your needs/requierements/max price and ask what to choice - XDA probably has a place for it.

If you want a phone for testing/development Android apps, you should think about Motorola/Nexus or some new models with offical long support (ie Xperia family).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ekci:
I just need a >4.5" phone for general use, with at least 4.4 (to use with smart watches and bands). With as low cost as possible. Galaxy S3 Neo is my leader now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xterm1:
I don't know where I You from, what models ara in your country and in what prices, so it's hard to suggest any model.

I suggest You to use some kind of price comparation site (in our country), choice your requierements and list devices. Then choice what you like (what looks nice to You) and has a good price.

Then paste list of interesting devices.

For example there are couple of cheap models named "Core" or "Grand" (from Samsung) with screen size obove 4.5 inch and new Android.

Downsides are: not so "strong" CPU/GPU (for games) and lack of light sensor - it shoudn't be a issue as You want to use smartwatch anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flummi.FFM:
In my opinion s3 is best choice As long as there is ANY chance to get some cm (official/ unofficial)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnSmit268:
You can upgrade it even to marshmallow why KitKat?;)

As we are expecting the official cm to release tomorrow so I think that s3 is the best choice. And if you just like touchwiz s3 has 4.4.4 ports from touchwiz and you can install them. But I recommend you to install lollipop 5.1.1 rom if you buy a s3 device. You chose the best device if you want any help on how to flash these roms just reply my post.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlipMat:
Hi All

I bought this i9505 a couple of years back and have been using on EE network (UK) - the handset is locked to EE and I would now like to unlock to use on O2 (UK). In order to get EE to unlock it - they insist on charging the owner on their next monthly bill for the service. I am no longer in touch with the original owner... so does anyone have any ideas how I can unlock this?

I have tried the posts which show to unlock in service mode - but this doesnt work (at least not for me!).

Does anyone know of any company that can unlock via IMEI or other service?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Andrew - are you in the UK? If so please do let me know which service you used as the couple I have tried take the IMEI number then route you through to lots of phishing websites wanting you to complete surveys etc... if you know a service that is safe in UK then I really dont mind paying (a little :o)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you go to sammobile.com, they have an unlock service there you can use. Cost I believe is around the 20USD mark (13.30GBP) for the most basic option, though they do have quicker options that cost more.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
The apps busybox x and busybox X+ don't include an option to uninstall them, so in case you have problems with the installed binaries you find yourself helpless and with issues.

Well, there's a workaround: uninstall buxybox x or X+. Then install BusyBox or BusyBox Pro from stericson, smart install it, and then uninstall with the option provided for that. Now you have your system clean back more or less. Probably there remains some binary lost in the system, but for the most part it will remain clean.

There's another way to do if from command line:

su
mount -o remount rw /system
cd /system/xbin
rm busybox

Hi,

I put my new Z5 under a faucet, but after I dried up the handset I found water on the surface of the back camera. I tested and everything looks good and functions well, except the back camera only gives blurred images. In an hope that water would evaporate, I tried heating the camera cautiously with a drier, but it doesn't change much. Now I'm just letting the phone sit in a dry&airy place.

Does anyone have any good advice?

Man I've had Z1, 2, 3 and 5 and taken all of them in swimming pools and showers. My phone gets coated with dust at work everyday and I wash it with soap and water daily. I'm not disagreeing that people obviously aren't so confident/lucky but I've never had a problem. My friend had a foggy rear lense once and the solution was to open the flap for ventilation and turn in 4k video for a bit.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricodredd:
So you've never had a problem with water but your friend did. I'm not sure I'm getting my point across... :p
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
I'm very careful about checking and re-checking the waterproof flaps. All I'm saying is, for me, it's a major feature and I intend to use it and have without issue. I just want the OP to here the other side. That's all.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCraig:
If you go in the pool with one why not just put it inside a plastic clear bag? Chances are water will not get in and even if it did the phone is IP68 rated so water shouldn't be an issue anyway.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jervine:
+1 to this sentiment. I think it's possibly advertised as 'water resistant' rather than waterproof, but semantics aside, you'd have to be daft to assume that you can repeatedly dunk your phone in water/swimming pools/whatever and have it work perfectly. The IP rating should be seen as a degree of protection and not a blank cheque guaranteeing the phone will survive.

I've used an Xperia Z to take photos in a swimming pool before, but been careful to keep the phone above the water, and tried to ensure it remained as dry as possible. The IP rating was nice to know that the phone would probably survive the odd splash but I didn't think it meant that it would work (and continue to work) fully submerged.

Hello,

Would you mind elaborating on what you did exactly to solve this issue... thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
Snap is a widget drawer, similar to the notifications drawer.

Just pull from one area of the status bar (left, middle or right) to access it. It's basically like the IOS widgets.

[Android Apps and Games] Ch33ku:
Great app, only on my phone I have the DPI lowered so the pull down menu is pretty shrunken as well :(
[Android Apps and Games] dragontology:
It's a little quirky on my HTC One M8, but I'm running a custom ROM. I had to change the default from right to left (for the quick pulldown). Might want to set that as default as a metric frak ton of custom ROMs use the right side of the status bar for quick access to the toggles. Then again, those users would have set that and would know to change it. Also, 3 seems like a low limit for the free version, but for my use case it's perfect. If I decide to keep it I'll pay regardless of whether or not I want to add more. Besides, anyone with Zooper could make one widget that does all the things and just use that as one of the three. Me, I'm happy with Google Search, Poweramp, and SoundHound.

When I say quirky, I mean it didn't work right at first, I had to get out of the app and onto my home screen. And then when it opens, it seems to just unceremoniously slam down. It's a great idea, and deserves a smoother animation (I didn't disable them in Preferences) than it's getting.

Overall it's a great idea, and I might just move my big Zooper widget onto Snap so I can use more of my screen for the wallpaper...

edit: Hardly ever works on the HTC lock screen. HTC tied the screen-off wake gestures to the lock screen, else I'd replace it yesterday. Not something I expect you to be able to work past, HTC stuff is generally regarded as a pain in the neck anyway.

[Android Apps and Games] fmaster1:
First point will be added in a future update. This has been requested since day one.

Widget scrolling can be done with two fingers in the current version. This will also be updated soon for one finger scrolling.

hi,

i have just tried the free version of this app.

and i am wondering if you're able to make an option where it follows the theme of the phone?

for example, mine is a note 5 and it is having the turquoise/lime color type of notification shade.

while your app is having the stock android look.

may i know if you're able to make it themeable following the system color?

[Android Apps and Games] prnorm:
Unfortunately it appears that it was bought out by a shady company that has bundled "caller ID" bloatware into it. From what I can tell, they do that with all the apps they buy out.

As far as I can tell, the last version without the extra crap is 1.4c which can be found on apkmirror here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/francisco-barroso-2/snap-swipe-drawer/

I can't find any other apps with similar functionality, so if anybody knows one, let me know please.
[Android Apps and Games] malgosia63:
Very good app, I like it!
[Android Apps and Games] Krete:
Thanks for the info (tho it's indeed a rather unfortunate one).

I was wondering if it vanishing from the Playstore was some foreshadowing to Google's new strict policy on apps that use the Accessibility Services? - as Snap Swipe Drawer does use that.

Now I'm pondering whether to replace my more recent version with 1.4c or not and hope that restricting its permissions and denying internet connection will be enough to prevent any data leak..

Because apart from security concerns (now) I'm actually quite pleased with the new(ish) Version (1.5.4). It seems even the limitation of the numbers of widgets allowed in the free version got removed, so I guess there actually might be some good thing about that buy-out.

Only problem I've noticed is that for some reason the shortcut to expand Snap doesn't seem to work under Kitkat (4.4.2) (tho I'm not fully sure if this was different with previous versions).

Btw, I totally 2nd the wish for apps with similar functionality.

Snap really combines some really nice and usefull features. It works reliably, is unobtrusive and easy to configure and use. And - really important to me: It can be accessed on the lockscreen (optionally) and can display

widgets

(including on the lockscreen). Especially the last point. There seem to be quite a few overlay launchers, sidebar launchers, gloveboxes etc., but most of them only can handle shortcuts, but not actual widgets.

Unfortunately, with Google's new policy on Accessibility I'm afraid it will become even harder to find find alternatives to Snap.
